STATEMENT OF REQUEST
The tenant identification wall sign program requested by this petition is consistent with signs
existing in other similar developments in the Meridian Corridor which have previously been
amended by the Cannel Plan Commission and the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals. A tenant
identification wall sign program, such as this request is making, is necessary in order for these
two buildings to be competitive in this market and to allow for reasonable identification of the
two buildings and the major tenants of the two buildings.
Currently, sign square footage is calculated by the tallest height of the sign, including any logo,
multiplied by the widest width, not taking into account "dead space". Counting "dead space" as
sign area is problematic when a wall sign must be located near the top of an eight (8) or five (5)
story building. The height of these two Penn Mark Plaza buildings, the shape of these two Penn
Mark Plaza buildings, the fact that the 3rd building in this complex [which is owned by a
different owner and is a two (2) story building] already has approval to allow three (3) tenant
identification wall signs, the fact that the site has three (3) road frontages, and the fact that each
building within this multi-tenant building complex has multiple tenants renders it beneficial to
have tenant identification wall sign programs for this development.
The tenant identification wall sign program requested by this petition will:
• allow (i) a maximum of three (3) tenant identification wall signs
on each building, in addition to the "One Penn Mark Plaza"
building identification wall sign and the "11595" address wall sign
located on the east fagade of One Penn Mark and in addition to the
"Two Penn Mark" building identification wall sign located on the
east fagade of Two Penn Mark; {ii) the transfer of fagade sign
rights to other facades; and, (iii) Two Penn Mark to have an
additional (3`d) tenant identification wall sign.
• allow the six permitted tenant identification wall signs (3 on One
Penn Mark and 3 on Two Penn Mark) to contain a maximum total
of 550 square feet, with no individual tenant identification wall
sign exceeding a maximum of 105 square feet and with no more
than two tenant identification signs per building permitted facing
Meridian Street.
