CARMEL/CLAY PLAN COMMISSION
SPECIAL STUDIES COMMITTEE
DEPARTMENT REPORT
December 3, 2002
7. Docket No. 170-02 ADLS Amend; Carmel Foot & Ankle Center
Petitioner seeks amended Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping & Signage approval to
replace an existing ground sign. The site is located at 277 East Carmel Drive. The site is zoned
B-8 Business.
Filed by Sherry Marchbanks of A Sign by Design.
The applicant is requesting ADLS Amendment approval of a new ground sign. Please see
information packet for elevations and details (see information booklet submitted last week with
the agendas).
The sign as presented would require two variances. The Ordinance permits a maximum of 45
square feet for the sign and the proposal is for 50 square feet.
The Ordinance also requires each tenant to share equally on the ground sign if used. The Carmel
Foot and Ankle Center is approximately 30 square feet in area and the other portion about 18
square feet in area.
The Department is not in favor of this request and would like to see a revised sign plan and one
that either ties more closely to the overall site design (building materials) or follows the
streetscape design of the address markers installed by the City similar to what McDonald's was
approved for.
The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee approve the request only
after all comments and concerns have been addressed.
Note: The item only requires approval by the Special Studies Committee.
