APPliCATION FOR BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARDS VARIANCE REQUEST
7. State explanation of requested Developmental Standards Variance: (State what you want to
do and cite the section number(s) of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance which applies and/or
creates the need for this request).
A. Carmel Clay Schools would like to construct a building identification sign with
changeable copy in excess of the size limitations and overall height taller than
required by Section 25.7.02-5 of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance.
8. State reasons supporting the Developmental Standards Variance:
A. The proposed size of the building identification and changeable copy sign is required
to provide space appropriate to announce and inform patrons 01 events scheduled at
the school. The proposed size will allow the announcements to be legible by
vehicles coming to or passing the project site. The proposed size of 36 square feet
is within the total allowable area for botrl crlangeable copy and institutional signage
of 46 square feet. The changeable copy area of 24 square feet exceeds the
allowable of 16 square feet. Due to the height needed for the lettering, the overall
height of the proposed sign of 6'-2" exceeds the allowable height of 5'-0". The
overages noted are very ciose to the ordinance requirements, and would not
negatively impact the area, while providing legible copy for patrons.

CARMEUCLA Y BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals, and
general welfare of the community because:
The size of the signage is appropriate for the frontage and overall size of the site and
building.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be
affected in a substantially adverse manner because:
The signage will be kept as low in height as practical. There wjJl not be any lighting included
at the signage, eliminating potential glare issues at adjacent properties.
3 The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in
practical difficulties in the use of the property because:
The size limitations of the building identification sign would prohibit the signage that is legible
from passing vehicles at a distance. There are typically multiple events scheduled at the
school that need to be announced to patrons. The strict application of the size limitations
would greatly limit the ability of the school to fully inform patrons.
