HAMILTON BEVERAGE
United Package Liquors
by Mary E. Solada, Esq.
Statement of Variance and Statement of Support
I. Proiect Overview
The petitioner seeks to replace two existing signs at 2290 E 116th Street with two
new signs. A third existing sign will be removed. The property is currently a two.
tenant structure, occupied in part by Hamilton Beverage, one of a family of stores
operated by United Package Liquors. The second tenant space is currently
occupied by Verizon Wireless but will soon be vacated. Hamilton Beverage plans
to remodel the existing building, eliminating the second tenant space in order to
occupy the building in its entirety.
As part of this remodel, Hamilton Beverage would like to update its signage. Two
signs are currently located on the 116th Street frontage, one above each tenant
space. A third sign faces a private drive to the east. There is no freestanding
signage. The signs do not conform to the current Ordinance standards but
received a variance in the late 1970s. Hamilton Beverage proposes to keep one
sign on the 116th Street frontage, and one sign on the eastern elevation. While the
total sign area on the building would be reduced through the elimination of the
second tenant sign, the new signs exceed the maximum area permitted.
II. Statement of Variance
Variance 07020025V: Maximum Si!!n Sauare Foota!!e
Petitioner requests a variance of Ordinance ~ 25.07.02-08(c)/Sign Chart A to allow
a total sign area of 176.73 square feet. (123.03 square feet oriented to 116th Street
and 53.7 oriented to the east). The total area permitted is 45 square feet (45
square feet oriented to 116th Street and zero square feet oriented to the east).
.
Note: Carmel's Ordinance measures sign area as the maximum vertical
dimension of the sign times the maximum horizontal dimension of the sign.
The unique shape of these proposed signs therefore results in a large amount of
air being counted as part of the sign area. The total proposed area of actual
signage is 85.49 square feet on the 116th Street elevation and 38.55 square
feet on the eastern elevation.
Variance 07020026V: Si!!n Oriented East
Petitioner requests a variance of Ordinance ~ 25.07.02-08(b) to permit a sign on
the east elevation of the building. This elevation is oriented to a private (not
public) street. The proposed sign replaces an existing sign in this location.

III. Statement of Support
Hamilton Beverage is a longstanding member of Carmel's retail community. The
improvements it plans to make to its building will result in a face-lift to an older
building along one of Carmel's most traveled corridors. Likewise, the replacement
of the old signage will significantly enhance the appearance of the building.
However, to require a significant reduction in the amount of Hamilton Beverage's
signage as a result of the improvements would result in a major setback for the
business desirous of providing improvements to one of Carmel's more established
retail areas.
