The site is located at 900 E 96th St and is zoned PUD/Planned Unit Development.

Present for the Petitioner: Blaine Paul, Duke Realty, 600 E. 96th Street, Indianapolis. The permitted sign
size is 90 square feet and the design for the Cingular sign is 92.7 square feet. A location map was
shown. The sign will be on the east face of the north end ofthe building, facing 1-465 and traffic that is
heading westbound. The sign design specifics were shown. The letters will be 2 feet 10 inches to be
visible from the interstate. The corporate standard for the lettering has the lower case "1" projecting
upward and the "g" projecting downward and that enlarges the sign size. The coverage of only the letters
is not near the 90 square feet.
Members ofthe public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to the petition; no one appeared.
The Public Hearing was closed.
Mrs. Conn gave the Department Report. The definition of a sign in the sign ordinance is taking the
maximum horizontal distance multiplied by the maximum vertical distance. As the Petitioner stated,
there is some dead space in the sign. The Department recommended positive consideration.
Mr. Hawkins asked ifthe sign was back-lit through the letters.
Mr. Paul confirmed that only the letters were back-lit.
