square -foot school of secondary education.
The site is located at 340 Ridge Point Drive. The site is zoned I -1 /Industrial.
Filed by Scott P. Wyatt of Campbell Kyle Proffitt for Central Indiana Options in Education.
Present for Petitioner: Scott Wyatt, Campbell Kyle Proffitt, Carmel, IN. Also present were John Terry, Campbell
Kyle Proffitt, Kevin Davis and Barbara Maschino, Co- Directors of the School. A map was shown detailing the area

public hearing was closed.
Mr. Wyatt pointed out there were various people in attendance in support of the project, teachers, parents, and
landlord, who would be willing to come forward if necessary.
Department Report: Mr. Lillig reported the use seems compatible with the surrounding uses in that industrial park
and the Department is recommending favorable consideration of this petition.
Mrs. Rice asked about the cost per student in comparison with the regular high school.
Kevin Davis, 150 Ewing Court, Carmel, stated there is no tuition charged. The cost per student is around $5,900.00
for this program. The Carmel/Clay cost is around $8,000.00 per student.
Mr. Mohr felt from driving by that this is a perfect location for this type of school and a good way to get started.

Tenant signage.
The site is located at 2900, 2910, 2920 2930 East 96 Street. The site is zoned S- 2/Residence.
Filed by Michael T. Mance of Paragus.
Mr. Lillig distributed packets describing the signage with two aspects of the approval for the Use Variance. When
this project first came through, it included center identification signage, but not individual tenant signage. The
entrance sign monument will be located south of the 3000 square -foot building. The cap is proposed to be changed
from brick to limestone. The building addresses will change from individual address numbers above the tenant
spaces to small monuments with 9 -inch tall address numbers. The sign bands above the tenant spaces would be used
for non illuminated 14 -inch tenant signage.
Discussion followed on color of the signs, illumination and definitive details. Mr. Lillig will advise the petitioner to
bring material samples to the August 26, 2002, meeting.
This Item will be placed under Old Business at the August 26, 2002, Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.
