The actual sign area will be measured and logos. a common type of sign element. will be more easily permitted. 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 criteria proposed for the building will enhance the use and value of the real estate. as well as the adiacent area. The use of logos as a part of sign identification is a common practice in the Carmel area and this variance will allow this practice. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: The removal of the existing around sign mandates the need for an overall better sign identification package. The area available for the placement of wall signs on this particular building, along with the common use of logos. presents a practical difficulty in the calculating of sign area per the ordinance.

(Petitioner or his representative to sign). 835549v2 ,) ~ ) DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST FOR 12955 OLD MERIDIAN STREET MERIDIAN DESIGN CENTER Petitioner requests variances of development standards for the following items: (i) This variance will allow the area of each sign to be calculated by multiplying the maximum vertical dimension of any logo by its maximum horizontal dimension and adding it to the area of each line of any letters calculated by multiplying the maximum vertical dimension of the letters on each line by their maximum horizontal dimension. (Chapter 3.07-Definition of "Sign Area") (ii) Address numbers are "exempted signs" in the ordinance. However, Sign Chart C, the Address Number chart, lists the maximum height of numbers to be 3.5 inches within 100 feet of the right-of-way and 7.0 inches within 200 feet of the right-of-way. This-variance will allow address numbers on this existing building to be 12.0 inches high. (Chapter 25.07.01-03) 835539_l.DOC ,,) ) STATEMENT OF SUPPORT FOR 12955 OLD MERIDIAN STREET MERIDIAN DESIGN CENTER JKB Properties LLC desires to upgrade the existing appearance of the Meridian Design Center to give it a fresher look by changing a number of existing design elements. A summary of the elements to be changed are as follows: . The existing ground sign will be removed and be replaced by several additional parking spaces. . The numbers "12955" will be added over the main entrance to the building to help provide a new identification for the building. . The existing blue awnings will be removed and be replaced by smaller black-colored awnings. The plan elevations shown in Tab 6 show the new awnings in "blue" solely to differentiate them from the windows in the picture. The new awnings will be black. . Black goose-neck lamps will be added as an accent design element above the black awmngs. . A new program for signs, the Wall Sign Criteria, will establish a consistent look for all future signs on the building. . To better utilize the existing parking in the rear of the building, certain entrances will be enhanced by the addition of a small awning, a goose-neck lamp, an entrance sign, planters and a glass panel door in order to try to make these entrances more inviting and visitor friendly. 845199 - ,) ~ Meridian Design Center - Area Zoning Map R, <i,i, r"I\\,'ul'I~, 'I'ii', ' ~.IVll}l~tl! i: - ~ (~j-~t7$~tj ~Ml$:~A G~~~ll.J [S~Vtttl1Tl!.f I ~''''''..'','::'''J:.'-'''.....'''''t''''i' ,/"'\'I\,!I'I '''I\M ilJ' \:,;J I V,JfPI V!I' ~ ~, 0' 'ur' !m ~ .)> r;.' . ^-.
