Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals Hearing Officer Agenda December 17, 2007 Present for the Petitioner: David Gilman, Land Development Services. Williams Realty has developed U a multi-use six tenant bay building. In order to identify each tenant, they are permitted 40 square feet of signage per tenant. Reese Kitchens is the first tenant and they will be occupying two of the center bays. As the anchortenailt, they feel they need more identification than the 40 square feet. He shared. an exhibit showing the difference between the 40 square feet sign and the 60. square feet sign on the fal(ade ofthe building. The 60 square feetcleatly fits within the sign band for the two tenant spaces. The way the Ordinance is written, it does not acknowledge one tenant occupying more than one tenant space. One Commitment they had made to the Staffwas that the total signage for the building would not exceed 240 square feet, making no net increase in the total signage. They wanted to keep a cap on the 240 square feet and acknowledge Reese Kitchens as the anchor tenant. Members of the public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to the petition; no one appeared. The Public Hearing was closed. Miss Boone gave the Department Report. In the Michigan Road Overlay this tenant would normally be allowed 40 square feet of signage because it is set back less then 200 feet from the right-of-way and it has less than 100 feet of frontage. This will be the main tenant and the sign will fit within the sign band. The Department recommended positive consideration. Mr. Broach APPROVED Docket No. 08050005 V, Reese Kitchens - sign age. 3d.
