CARMEL/CLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.:
Petitioner:
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
The site will meet all parking, access and drainage requirements, and the variances requested will not
adversely impact traffic patterns or any other safety standard.
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 redevelopment of a blighted property for uses compatible with adjacent uses will enhance property
values.
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 strict application of the Zoning Ordinance does not contemplate the impact of proposed rights-of-
way and on-site drainage on a small parcel being redeveloped for multiple tenants and uses.
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.
Adopted this day of ,200

CARMEL/CLAY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL~ INDIANA
Docket No.:
Petitioner: Main & Guilford Plaza, LLC
FINDINGS OF FACT - USE VARIANCE
The grant of this variance will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the existence of special
condition(s) such that enforcement of the zoning ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship because;
the subject property is a "brownfield", and historically has been used as a service station, which
increases the risk and reduces the desirability for lighter uses of the property.
The grant o! this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
it is a redevelopment of a "brownfield", and the proposed uses will be complementary to nearby
land uses.
The use or value of the area adjacent to the subject property will not be substantially affected in any
adverse manner because:
the proposed uses will be conducted indoors and are compatible with the adjacent residential uses,
and will improve neighboring properties values by eliminating a blighted structure.
The need for the variance arises from a natural condition peculiar to the subject property because:
the property, as a "brownfield" and improved with a service station building, is stigmatized and
requires additional flexibility in uses in order to be successfully redeveloped.
The granting of this variance does not substantially intedere with the Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Plan
because:
the uses proposed will be compatible with these contemplated in lhe comprehensive plan and the
Old Meridian District,
DECISION
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Use Variance Docket No.
is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Beard, which are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

SIGN PLAN FOR MAIN & GUILFORD PLAZA, LLC
Petitioner, Main & Guilford Plaza, LLC, proposes the following sign plan be
implemented in connection with Variance of Development Standard case #s 04020024 and
04020025V.
The Petitioner proposes that its building be treated as a "Multi-Tenant Ground Floor
Building," as opposed to a "Multi-Tenant, Multi-Level Building," as defined in the Carmel/Clay
Sign Ordinance. The justification for the request is that the entire first level of the Petitioner's
proposed building is likely to be occupied by retail tenants, each of which is likely to require a
wall identification sign. The second level of Petitioner's building is likely to be occupied by
office tenants, which have less stringent sign requirements.
The Petitioner's sign plan includes the following types of signs, and restrictions:
A. Tenant Identification Signs
Each first floor tenant shall have the right to erect a wall identification sign above it's
store front on Main Street and/or Guilford Avenue. In addition, "Joe's Auto Service" shall be
entitled to one additional wall identification sign located on the rear wall (south wall) of its
tenant space. Each sign shall be comprised of either (i) individual internally illuminated letters
and a trademark logo, not to exceed thirty (30) inches in height and ten (10) feet in total length,
or (ii) an unlit sign structure (cabinet) comprised of wood (faux wood), custom cast stone or
masonry or metallic elements with each such sign cabinet not to exceed thirty (30) inches in
height and ten (10) feet in length, except that the "Joe's Auto Seruice" signs on the north and
south elevations may be forty eight (48) inches in height and eight (8) feet in length, as shown on
the building elevation plans. All colors and materials used in any sign cabinet shall be
complimentary to the design, colors and materials used in the construction of the primary
building.
Each wall identification sign shall be located above the store from window on the first
level in a uniform location determined by the Petitioner. The "Joe's Auto Service" sign on the
south face of the building shall be located below the cornice line.
B. Center Idenfification Signs
The Petitioner shall be entitled to three Center Identification Signs, featuring only the
name of the Center (and it's address). One sign shall be permitted on each of the Guilford
Avenue and Main Street frontages. Each sign shall be placed on the wall of the primary
building, one on the far west end of the north face, and one on the far south end of the east face.
Said signs shall not exceed two (2) feet in height or thirteen (13) feet in length, and shall not
exceed 32 square feet in area, as shown on the building elevation plans. The Center Identification
Signs shall be constructed with custom cast stone or masonry materials and incorporated into the
facade of the primary building.
INDY 1322960vl
C. Directory, Signs
The Petitioner may erect Tenant Directory Signs, featuring the names of various tenants
on the rear (south and west) elevations of the building, in locations near the entry doors, as
shown on the building elevation plans. Said Directory signs shall not exceed three (3) feet in
height or width and nine (9) square feet in area. The directory signs shall be constructed with
wood, metal or plastic materials, with interchangeable panels for tenant identification. The
design, color and materials of the directory signs shall be complimentary to the design of the
primary building, and the signs may be either internally or externally illuminated.
