From: Ed Leer (ed.leer@profficee.com] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 20082:58 PM To: Boone, Rachel M.; Tingley, Connie S Subject: FW: North Meridian Rachael and Connie, Per your request, here is Greg's email. On another note, I was disturbed by the berm discussion First of all, Lauth's picture of the trees and berm was very distorted. That area in the photo is nextto Greg Small's land. The majority of the berm is sparsely populated with trees including deciduous ones and some that are dying. Also, the photo must have been taken by a short person on someone on their knees. With regard to the ownership and responsibility for the berm/landscaping, the front of it is probably the city's responsibility (there are a few deciduous bushes in the front), but the berm and the trees on the backside, I believe, are Lauth's responsibility, of which they have not done an adequate job of living up to their responsibility. It is tough to fight city hall/developers. Thanks for your help.

I am trying to rearrange my schedule to make it. The new sign probably has the most impact on Tom Spahn and Kevin Pahud. I think your argument could be that our prior agreement did hot allow for signage in letting Lauth re-plat the residential lots. There counter argument will be that the document does not state that. I like Kevin's comment within one of our meetings with Lauth and he said it was not in the spirit of what got represented to the neighbors when Lauth needed all of our consent to re-plat the lots from residential to commercial. I would argue that the current berm is only 6 feet above the road and without a solid screen along Illinois street that you will be able to see the sign from your backyard. I would ask that they reduce their total height of signage from 12 feet to 8 feet or provide a solid screen all along Illinois blvd. with a 6 foot wood fence or a landscaping plan that would have 2 rows of spruce trees all along Illinois Blvd. You would probably ask for the developer come back with a landscaping plan so it could be adopted into the minutes.

I reside on Lot 8 and also own Lot 9 of Williams Creek Subdivision. Specifically, Lot 9 will be directly across and adjacent to Lauth's sign request of twelve (12) feet. My concern is that both of my lot backyards back up to Illinois Blvd., which will face this signage. The berm which runs along Illinois Blvd. is only about 6 feet above the road. The sign will be clearly seen at night from the backyard of Lot 9. In addition, the piantings are somewhat sparse which will impact my neighbors, Ed Leer, Kevin pahud, and Tom Spahn. These plantings were completed by Lauth at the time these buildings were originally built. I am not adverse to Lauth's Development and a reduced Signage request, however; the neighbors of Williams Creek Subdivision were told by Lauth at a number of meetings held between the neighbors and Lauth at the time ofthe initial development of North Meridian Medical Pavilion that there wouLd not be any additional signage on the Illinois Blvd. side ofthe street when thisdevelopment was originally approved. The neighbors of Williams Creek Subdivision consented to the re-plat of residential lots within Williams Creek Subdivision from a residential zoning to a commercial zoning with the understanding of no lighted signage on the Illinois Blvd. side. I would kindly request that the BZA ask Lauth to install an eight foot sign, instead of a twelve foot sign. If Lauth is notagreeable to this then I would ask that they provide a six foot.solid wood fence starting at the beginning of Lot 9 to the North running South through Lots 10, 11, and 12 along Illinois Blvd to help screen the neighbors which lots back up to this development. I apologize for not appearing at this meeting, as [ had a prior engagement that could not be rescheduled. Thank for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Greg Small Page I of2 t: Boone, Rachel M.

However, Over the weekend I took several pictures of the "view" from the Master Bedroom of my house. It is important to note that the pictures that appear "blank" are the identical shot ---just directed away from the Medical building in question. My home is certainly notthe closest to the building, but I believe that the pictures clearly reflect the significant impact of the lights already installed by Lauth. I believe that someone looking for this building would have no problem locating it with the lights already installed, as it is certainly clearly visible from inside my home. Please note my vehement objection to any more variances for Lauth. Carmel needs industry, but not at the expense of the homeowners, and we on Creekwood Lane have already "taken one for the team", further concession to Lauth would be, at best, unfair. Thank you for your consideration, we appreciate your keeping us apprised of the actions of the BZA. ~ Mike and Cathy Howland 317-844-1157 Home 314-321-9648 Celluhlr mn Original Message nn From: "Boone, Rachel M." <rboone@canlleI.in.gov> To: Ed Leer <ed.1eer@profficee.com>; Greg Small <GsmaU@equicor.col11>; tspalm@indy.lT.com; kevinpahud@aol.com; cpyle@cotmecta.com; pfranklinOl @indy.rr.com; kevinbetsy@yahoo.com; ani tacarr@hotmail.com; cathy how land@sbcglobal.net Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 1 :58:34 PM Subject: RE: NMMP Monument Sign Drawing: for variance Neighbors, Thank you for all your responses and concerns. These will be kept for documentation in our file. I wanted to let you know we will be proceeding with this sign proposal (120 tall ground monument with 6 tenant panels) on the February 25th meeting of the BZA. The meeting will be at 6:00 in the Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall. There should be no reason this time to table to the following month. (Keep your fingers crossed!) 2/25/2008 Page 2 of 5 The Department is happy that Lauth has decided to go with a ground sign. I, personally, believe it is still too high. My Director thinks 120 may be ok. We are going to let the BZA determine what height they will be allowed. Please .come to the meeting and let the Board know you are NOT ok with a 12[1 high sign.

The berm is not high enough nor are the trees dense enough to obscure this sign. Understand our houses are naturally built LIP and we have second floor rooms. Even Jl'om the first noor, we have too good of a view into these buildings. We tried to get Lauth toinerease the berm and plant more trees, but they refused. If they now wanllo increase their signage, we need to get the berm increased and more trees planted. Needless to say, our opinion of Lauth is not positive. Love to have a discussion on this topic.

If you had a solid screen of Norway spruces the entire length of Illinois street it probably would not be an issue. In looking at what T planted on my portion of the berm you would probably be looking at planting another 200-8 foot spruces to accomplish this.

They would probably be more willing to support an 8 foot sign not a 12 foot sign but let me get back to you.

Thanks again for your feedback and questions Per your comments below, please consider the following: 1. It is my understanding (I am confirming) that the sign is to be placed where the existing ground sign is located. 2. It is my understanding, but we are confirming, that the berm is 15' tall (the proposed sign is 12' in height). 3. According to our sign contractor; the top portion is a routed aluminum face, in which only the copy (or lettering) is illuminated. The background is opaque The tenant section contains translucent white acrylic faces, in which the background and lettering is illuminated. [I am not sure exactly where the City stands on this; however. I am told they generally view our design favorably - obviously, I do not speak for the City (or any specific concerns its representatives may have), but we are working with them to secure the Department's support - we are not inctined to proceed without addressing their specific concerns and our sign contractor is doing the bulk of that consultation] 4. Much thought has been given to this, generally, please consider: (i) the berm works (at its height compared to the height of the sign) to block the light; (ii) the "more illuminated" portions ofthe sign are even further down than the top of the sign (enhancing the berm's impact); and (iii) the monument sign is perpendicular to the road (facing north and south) in comparison to the wall signs that would have faced directly to the west - additional protection from any illumination impact. 5. Based upon the comments above, we do not believe lighting restrictions are necessary - and has been discussed previously, medical office building signage help direct patients and families (those that do not frequently visit the building - often visitors are coming at an early hour for surgery or in an emergency or in 2/25/2008 Page 4 of 5 another state of mind). 6. Not exactly sure what is meant by the request - if by wall signs facing Illinois Street, the owner is not interested in pursuing that if it is successful in being permitted this enhanced ground sign age suggested by the City. Thanks in advance for your consideration - the support of the neighbors would be appreciated. Please let me know, if possible, where you or others stand on this in light of this discussion. Please do not hesitate to contact me with additional questions and/or comments.

Thank you far returning my telephone call and for your message. Attached is the most recent version of what was sent to the City. It is my understanding that the City has some revisions (I am not aware exactly on th~ specifics), but generally they are supportive in concept to a ground sign that is larger than what is presently allowed on the property (you will see also, an e-mail message from Rachel Boone on the subject). We arrived at this place at the suggestion of the City and I hope, in light of the fact that the proposal going forward does not include wall signs on the Illinois Street side, that the you and the other neighbors will be supportive of this ground signage and necessary approvals to effectuate this including the variance and revision to the commitments related to the rezoning. We are eager to proceed and have this finalized in the month of February (we had even had our own delusions - not realistic - of having this wrapped up last month, but realized we should calmly have this reviewed to secure support for the request). In light of the paperwork and filings necessary, I would very much appreciate your feedback prior to the end of next week. In particular, I would very much appreciate knowing what the neighbors believe they would be willing to support or at least not oppose conceptually. You will note, this is an even bigger concession than what you once indicated the neighbors would support (a package that included wall signage - albeit, with illumination restrictions). 2/25/2008 Page 5 of5 ..

CC: Campbell, David; Reis, Paul Subject: BZA Meeting Rachel. Good morning. Thanks again for your very quick feedback on the possibility of revising the variance request. To that end, I think it is appropriate to again table the variance petition to the next regularly schedule meeting of the BZA (as I noted on the phone, it is my objective to avoid a public confrontation on this issue) Further, to the extent you think it is appropriate, I would like to get on your schedule to in-person walk through scenarios that may meet both our needs and address the concerns of the City. It would seem from our most recent conversation that the "common ground"may be somewhere between what the City suggested a few weeks ago and the variance petition. Of course, this week and next will be challenging due to the holidays; however, I am around both weeks and available at your convenience. Please advise on your availability, Mr. Hollibaugh and Ms. Holmes and we will make it work on this end. Also, please confirm the next BZA meeting is scheduled (Jan. 08). Thanks.

It is my understanding that Lauth is applying for a sign variance and the meeting is tomorrow night. Unfortunately, I can't make the meeting. My backyard faces Illinois St. and their buildings. We were assured that no signage above street level would occur. Only signage would occur on the east side of the buildings. I strongly oppose approval to any variance to the aforementioned agreement. Sincerely, Thomas J. Spahn, M.D. 3/27/2008
