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. ~urvey Boundaries - Township Lines fransportation Abc Interstate Hwy Text Abc U.S. HwyText Abc State HwyText Abc Primary Rd Text ::z::a Interstate Highways .~ U.S. Highways - State Highways :::ell Primary Roads - Minor Roads o Buildings 2001 Aerial Photography C&I 2007 Aerial Photos ~ 500 L _L [--1 o SCALE 1 : 5,201 500 FEET Itn'II"",,"^, ,.,... h",rniltnn in 11c:/m""'''/(Y\I Innl lYl\Mf _.,.,n. _..:._ '.::-,1 ' 1.000 ~lap 1 1,500 /~ Thursdav.

CARMEL/CLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS CARMEL, INDIANA Docket No.: OB040003V Petitioner: Carmel Clay Schools FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT 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: 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: 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: DECISION IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Development Standards Variance Docket No. is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof Adopted this day of ,20 CHAIRPERSON, Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals SECRET ARY, Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals Conditions of the Board are listed on the back (Petitioner or his I"epresentative to sign).

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.
