November 20, 1996 Staff Report To: Board of Zoning Appeals Members From: Department of Community Services re: projects scheduled to be heard on November 20, 1996 Executive Session: lh. Board to discuss the pending litigation regarding the Oldham Variance (V-40-96). Public Hearings: li. Merchant's Square Center Identification Sign (V-60-96) Petitioner seeks variances to construct a center identification sign for the proposed Merchant's Square Mall. The sign will be located at the northwest corner of 116th Street and Keystone Avenue. The petitioner received Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping, and Signage approval for the sign at the November 19th Plan Commission meeting. The Department feels the uniqueness of this project supports the need for high-quality, well-maintained signage. The community will gain from the ability to utilize the community bulletin board feature, as will the development from increased viability of the shopping center from Keystone Avenue. Given the assurances on uniform color of the tenant store signs made by the petitioner to the Plan Commission, the department has no objection to the variances.

Linder's proposal would enhance and improve an existing community asset by bringing new and varied retail shopping choices, increasing tenant retail location choices, visually improving the area, improving traffic patterns at the site, and most importantly, retaining and reinvesting local retail dollars in the community. These benefits would be accomplished, and the tax base would be increased, by revitalizing an existing commercial facility with minimal impact to residential areas . The Chamber Directors endorse Linder's plan. The Chamber Directors encourage Chamber members, residents and elected and appointed officials of the Carmel Clay community to review Linder's proposal and to lend cooperation and support in its implementation.
