The Subdivision Committee will meet to consider the following item:
The meeting began at 6:00 P.M. Representing the Committee:
Steve Lawson, Ephraim Wilfong, John Adams
Representing the Department:
Angie Conn, Planner; Rachel Boone, Sign Reviewer
Representing the Petitioner: Scott Riddle, owner representative for Ed Martin; Mark Harrison, Balor
Principal, George Small, Architect
Of Counsel: John Molitor
Docket No. 11040005 ADLS Amend: Ed Martin Signage.
The applicant seeks approval for a new wall signage a building entry element. The site is
located at 9896 N. Michigan Rd and is zoned I -1 /Industrial within the Michigan Rd Overlay
Zone. Filed by George Small, AIA, of Design Point Inc.
Submittal is the compromise solution between what the overlay requires and what changes
General Motors will allow to their brand image requirements.
Proposed first
First alternative is that we have cropped the arch so that it does not extend beyond the
front fascia of the existing building— it is typically 40 ft in length and now it is reduced by
half. It still retains the arch look that General Motors requires but at the same time better
conforms to what the City requires. We have maintained the black/gray ACM mirrored
reveals GM will not alter from this approach. On the black ACM band on the existing
this is for the dealer name letters Ed Martin which is left hand margin dominate and then
you see the GMC backlit sign which is on the entry feature, this is not attached to the
building, not an addition to the building, but a free standing piece.

July 5, 2011 Meeting Agenda
Carmel Plan Commission Subd. Committee
The other version is a fairly good solution, to eliminate the black ACM band across the front of
the existing structure to make it more of an EFIS look and then the placement of the Ed Martin
names left hand margin dominate, but incorporate the band that would be more enhancement to
the existing material that is on the building. No altering the colonial architecture it helps to blend
or balances what the City wants to keep but incorporates what GM wants Mr. Harrison to keep
Rachel Boone observed how amazing how a little bit of change can go a long way. She approves
of the EFIS look
Lights will be kept to have the front of the building illuminated. The light fixture will be raised a
few inches and be mounted to the back of parapet so that the stem will be hidden.
2. John Adams moved that Docket No. 11040005 ADLS Amend: Ed Martin Signage. Be
forwarded to the Plan Commission with a positive recommendation with understanding that light
will be in a more appropriate location along with lighter color fagade which match and will move
bank off coin corners.
