While the Department would still favor removal of the entrance, restricting the access is acceptable. The Department would support the proposed modification of the existing entrance to be a right-out only to the Board of Public Works and safety. The Board of Public Works and Safety will need to approve this modification. Items of note in finalizing the plan that was presented in your email: 1. The large overhead power poles about 1 a-feet to the west of the existing edge of pavement. 2. The apparent encroachment into the adjacent property outside of the right-of-way. All portions of the entrance must be confined to the property or the right-of-way. 3. Ensure that the existing roadside drainage is maintained. 4. Removal of the existing entrance and restoration of the area not occupied by the new exit in accordance with City Code. Thanks so much, Gary Gary R Duncan Jr., P.E.

Sent: Monday, August 13, 2007 9:42 AM To: 'R McConnaughey' Cc: Conn, Angelina V Subject: RE: Smart Car dealership proposed for 4000 E 96th Street. Hi Rita, My apologies for taking a while to get back to you. Here are my recommendations for your sign age issues.' Three of the signs are fine the way they are: Service letters, Directional #1 (facing Lake Shore Dr.) and the Portal Sign (along with black entry aluminum). The rest of the signs will need to be adjusted. The dealer name letters will have to be amended to say Carmel, not Indianapolis. Or, we would rather not have the sign at all. Having this extra sign will require a variance. The pylon sigh can ohly be 6 feet tall. 15 feet will require a variance and will notpe supported by the Department. Honestly, the Board of Zoning Appeals will most likely not support this sign either. Another thing about this sign is that it is located within the street right of way. This will also need a variance and will not be supported by the Department. What we would like to see is combining the directional sign facing 96th St. along with the pylon sign and dealer letter names (the new sign to be located where the directional sign is proposed). You will be allowed 6 feet in height and no more than 60 square feet in area. This would solve your issues for having a pylon sign that is too tall and within the right of way, along with having two wall signs facing one frontage. So, if the three signs can be worked into one, you will only need to get a variance for number of signs and two signs facing one street frontage. The department will be in support of these two variances. If not, you will need variances for number of signs, 4 signs facing one street frontage, height of pylon (ground) sign, and sign located in the street right of way. The department will not be in support of these variances. . Please give me a call or email back to discuss the matter further.

I know they'll want to officially submit the sign package very soon. Anything we can do in advance to clear up any concerns or issues previous to the paperwork actually being submitted, I think. would help everyone concerned.
