July 7, 2009 RECEIVED JUN 1 2 20D9 DOCS Penn Mark Plaza 11595 and 11555 N. Meridian Street Tenant Identification Wall Sign Program for One Penn Mark (8-story building) and Two Penn Mark (5-story building), located in Penn Mark Plaza at the SEC of 116~h Street and Meridian Street Aeent for Petitioner: Steven B. Granner, AICP Bose McKinney & Evans LLP 111 Monument Circle, Suite 2700 Indianapolis, IN 46204 (317)684-5304 sezanner cr boselaw.com 1414757 2.DOC ~• ~• ~• Statement of Request noD AVERY` 600022 E~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ r ~ r ~ ~ ~ ~ ^~ ~ r ^M ~ 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. iazzio~ i Tab 2 ~~ 1 t 1 1 t ~Y 1 " 20D~ pOCS US 31 Corridor Zoning ~ One Penn Mark Plaza & Two Penn Mark Plaza it N ~4~6 ' ~~.. ~ i ~~~~~~ zoo"~ ~~ ~" ~~~ `, O~~S ~~ r i 1 1 Tab 3 1 iNn~.l „Y I 1 -~ ` .. ~_ sp'~g~loal r-7~I I ~, ,tee, w I : I i _~.~ , ~ ~ j Iii ~ ~ ~ ~ i ,..._.
