Dear Mr. Steckley:
st
In response to your inquiry about the relocation of your sign at Northern Beach, the Department
of Community Services researched the Carmel Clay Sign Ordinance and other applicable legal
provisions. Based on our review of the Sign Ordinance (in particular, Section 25.7.06) and
Indiana case law, I have determined that:
1. Your existing sign falls into the category of a "legal non -conforming sign" under
the Sign Ordinance; and
2. In conjunction with the County's 116th Street improvement project, you may
relocate this sign to a new position on your property which will afford it
comparable visibility, so long as you do not otherwise alter or expand its size or
appearance.
Under the Sign Ordinance, you will remain obligated to keep the relocated sign in good repair and
in a safe condition. if you should desire in the future to relocate the sign again for any reason, it
would lose its status as a "legal non -conforming sign" and you would have to apply for a variance.
Please call me at 571-2417 if you have any questions. Thank you for your patience in this matter.
Sincerely,
c -
Ste a Engelking
Director
Dept. of Community Services
