do and cite the section number(s) of the Carmel /Clay Zoning Ordinance which applies and /or

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.

and therefore, two institutional sign will be provided where only one institutional sign
is allowed in Section 25.7.02 -5 (B) of the Carmel Clay Zoning Ordinance.

within the total allowable area for both changeable 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 close to the ordinance requirements, and would not negatively impact the area,
while providing legible copy for patrons.

Construction is to start on the school, weather permitting, in April; the goal is to have the school
operational by fall, 1998; total enrollment will be 600. The building comprises 85,000 square feet
on the ground floor with small, mechanical meaatnine spaces concealed by roof areas which are
indistinguishable.
Mark Obergfell described the site plan and design. The school is to be located on the west side of
River Road, north of 131st Street, currently surrounded by undeveloped, agricultural ground.
There are two separate entrances: the main entrance to be used for drop -off? 'pick -up and visitor
parking; the southern most drive on River Road will be used as a service entrance to service the
loading dock and dumpsters, bus and staff parking.
The dry storm water detention basin is located in the northeast part of the site. All entire hard
surface areas, buildings and paving, are picked up and piped into the storm water detention are&
The majority of the east half of the site currently drains through a 35 inch by 24 inch culvert
underneath River Road; this is also the site of the outlet for the detention basin.
There are three playground areas provided which consist of hard surface play areas as well as
areas with safety surfacing with playground equipment. Curbs and gutters are provided around all
paved areas, as required by the City, a four foot wide sidewalk is also being installed along the
entire right-of-way of River Road (50 foot one -halt)
Presently, there is no sanitary sewer service or water to the site. The 12 inch City water main will
be extended to the school site and beyond for future development. At this time, it is not possible
to service the site by gravity sanitary sewer, therefore a lift station is being installed which will be
a forced main along River Road and tie into the sewers to be installed by Brenwick Development
as part of the Prairie View Subdivision.
The petitioner reported that the landscape plan is extensive around the school, with landscaped
islands in the parking lot and a 30 foot wide buffer along the south and north property lines. The
landscaping to the north property line will screen eventual development.
The petitioner states that the lighting does not exceed the required foot candle. The fixtures are
box -type, directed away from property lines to the interior of the site, and have cut-off features.
There is also an interior ring of light poles to help illuminate sidewalks for evening access.
The gymnasium will have a clear height of 25 feet minimum and therefore a structural height of 31
feet, thus requiring a variance. The exterior materials are predominately brick and textured
throughout. An extended canopy is being explored for use at the main entrance.
The directional signs are larger than allowed but felt to be needed for traffic safety; they will be of
a color and type to blend in with the building. When and if the Centex Development is
constructed, the bus service entrance would be redirected to a point at the property line that
would connect to a stub extended by Centex for their second access. The proposed roadway

improvements will be approved by the County Highway Department. The northern part of the
site will be annexed.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to the proposed project none
appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Mark Monroe reported that there had been several issues outstanding at the Technical Review
stage; however, the petitioner has addressed the access to the site and the proposed roadway
improvements along River Read. In regard to the landscaping, more detail was being sought as
far as types on the south and north property lines. A 30 foot landscape buffer is proposed on each
property line, and the Department is suggesting plantings within the buffer.
Alan Klineman was concerned with the angle of turn at the drop off area Mark Obergfell
responded that they would definitely look into it.
Dick Klar moved for the approval of Carmel/Clay Elementary School No 9 (SU -5-97) and
asked that the landscape plan be updated; MOTION APPROVED 5-0.
Dick Klar moved for the approval of Carmel/Clay Elementary School No. 9 (V -6-97) to
increase the allowable height of the building; MOTION APPROVED 5 -0.
Dick Klar moved for the approval of Carmel/Clay Elementary School No. 9 (V -7 -97) to allow
a increase in the of allowable traffic directional signs; MOTION APPROVED 5-0.
