LEGAL DESCRIPTION
STATEMENT OF REASONS SUPPORTING THE
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
FOR
20 SOUTH RANGELINE ROAD
First Indiana Bank has purchased Metrobank and, in order to help complete the transition
of Metrobank branches to First Indiana Bank branches, they must replace of the existing signage
from Metrobank to First Indiana Bank so as to provide proper identification to the public and to
help prevent any confusion.
There is an existing small ground sign along Rangeline Road which provides the only
identification of the bank from any public street. First Indiana Bank simply requests that they be
able to change the faces on this existing sign so that they can properly and reasonably identify
the bank.
The Old Town Carmel sign standards in the ordinance limits signage to a projecting sign,
suspended sign or a porch sign. If the bank was new construction according to the Main Street
District Sub -Area Standards, or constructed in the early to mid 20 century, where it physically
was an example street store -front retail, then the allowed sign types might work. However, the
bank is a typical modern small banking facility with an ATM and a drive -up window. The bank
would have practical difficulties in achieving proper and reasonable identification if they are not
allowed to replace the faces on the existing ground sign that has been there for a dozen years.
The existing parking lot signage will be altered to conform to ordinance standards, as will
the ATM sign.
The bank identification sign on the ATM needs to be the size it is because the aluminum
facia of the ATM contains an opening to allow for internal illumination. It is only reasonable
and proper that the replacement panel identifying First Indiana Bank is of sufficient size to_cover
this hole. ?tIJ l 7.
