The Medford Place Retail Center is located at 10485 Michigan Road. Please see the area photo under TAB 4. The Medford Place Retail Center fronts on Michigan RoadJU.S. Highway 421 but does not have direct access off of Michigan Road. The six tenants have wall signage facing Michigan Road but no identification on the east facade of the building to attract business from the significant tratlic using the private drive immediately to the east to reach the Super Target store to the south. The ownership and tenants of Medford Place are requesting two development standards variances: (1) a variance from the Carmel Zoning Ordinance (the "Ordinance") to permit a ground sign to be located on the site that is not oriented to a public street; and (2) a variance to allow the tenants to have additional signage on the proposed ground sign. o o D o U o U D Although the retail center and its tenants have identification on Michigan Road, customers must travel past the center and utilize a private drive to access the center from the north or the south. Additionally, a significant number of prospective customers use Commerce Drive and the private drive immediately to east to shop at the Super Target store located immediately to the south. The proposed ground sign, to be Located adjacent to the private drive on the east, at the entrance to the center, will significantly assist customers in finding the center after turning off of Michigan Road and will provide critical identification to prospective customers shopping at the Target store. Please see the Site Plan Photo under TAB 5. r----, U Petitioner is requesting this new ground sign of modest dimensions to provide this additional but critical identification for the tenants of Medford Place Retail Center. The proposed ground sign incorporates the colors of the retail center with an overall height of 5 feet, an overall width of 7 feet 6 inches and total sign area of 6.50 square feet. Please see the ground sign elevation and specifications under TABS 6 and 7 respectively. If this sign was adjacent to a public street, the Ordinance would permit a ground sign with an overall height of 6 feet and a sign area of 60 square feet. Respectfully submitted, Paul G.
