CARMELICLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: V -80 -03
Petitioner: First Indiana Bank
FINDINGS OF FACT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
the planned site improvements will improve safety. A financial institution,
such as a bank, provides a positive attribute for a neighborhood and a
community.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because:
the drive -thru facility is a relatively small structure and its effect on
the adjacent area will be negligible. The adjacent area is zoned B -5 (west
of Pennsylvania St.) and B -1 (east of Pennsylvania St.) so its location is
surrounded by commercial zoning and uses.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the
use of the property because:
the site has three frontages. Thus, locating an accessory structure twenty
five (25)'feet behind the established building line of each frontage would
result in the structure having to be located closer to U.S. 31 than is desired.
A location closer to Pennsylvania St. is more appropriate.
DECISION
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel /Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Development Standards Variance
Docket No. is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this
Board, which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

CARMEL/CLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: V -81 -03
Petitioner: First Indiana Bank
FINDINGS OF FACT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
the two signs will be an Exempt Sign in all respects except for the cover
around the support poles. This cover will not change the height, width or
location of the signs.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because:
the adjacent area is zoned B -5 (west of Pennsylvania St.) and B -1 (east of
Pennsylvania St.), so the sign locations are surrounded by commercial
zoning and uses.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the
use of the property because:
the terms inhibit exercising flexibility in improving the aesthetics of an
Exempt Sign, even though said improvements will not increase the height or
width of the sign or the size of the message on the sign.
