CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner to fill out 1-3 + first two blanks)
Docket No.: PZ-2023-00033
Petitioner: Doug Staley Jr., Staley Signs, Inc.
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
This request is for sign area increase to 75 sq. ft. the sign mounts on an existing retaining wall that does not
interfere with traffic flow and visibility.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially
adverse manner because:
The sign currently utilizes 75 sq ft sign area. The UDO changed since the original permit and the owner wants
needs to maintain the same sign area for future tenant(s) and or name changes. The surrounding area is
commercial, and these properties utilize similar sized ground signs, such at Zotec Partners.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development to the property will result in practical difficulties in the
use of the property because:
This is a very large commercial building that houses a large company. This company is accustomed to a 75 sq ft.
sign. A name change and or adding tenants to the sign would result in sign lettering that is smaller than the original
size permitted. It would be unreadable and aesthetically unappealing on the existing large retaining wall.
