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 /ts 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
wail 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 fight 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 wail identification sign located on the rear wail (south wall) of its
tenant space. Each sign shail 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 metailic elements with each such sign cabinet not to exceed thirty O0) inches in
height and ten (10) feet in length, except that the "Joe's Auto Service" 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 shail be located above the store front 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 shail be located below the cornice line.
B. Center Identification Signs
The Petitioner shall be entitled to three Center Identification Signs, featuring only the
name of the Center (and it's address). One sign shail 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 shail not
exceed 32 square feet in area, as shown on the building elevation plans. The Center Identification
Signs shail be constructed with custom cast stone or masonry materials and incorporated into the
faqade 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.

Merchants' Pointe, Lot 6 {V-170-02)
Petitioner seeks approval of a Development Standards Variance of Section 25.7.02-
8(b)(i): N~-b-~-&Ty~ifi-~id~r-tb~abli~hYthr~O)-gro~_und floor ten_~t ~,n~tification
Signs.
The site is located at 2325 Pointe Parkway. The site is zoned B-8/Basinass.
Filed by James J. Nelson of Nelson & Frankenberger for Merchants' Pointa Associates,
LLC.
Present for Petitioner: Jim Nelson, 12481 Medalist Parkway, Cannel, IN. Six businesses are
completed and operational at Merchants' Pointe. The variance is to establish signs on the final
building in Merchants' Pointe. The planned 30,000 square foot, two-story building will be
located directly west of Borders Book Store. In August 2002, the Plan Commission approved a
revision to the plans to provide for three retail tenants on the first floor of this building, with the
second floor being reserved exclusively for office use. The approved plans were shown. Under
.~,~:_C~"~l-Sig~_ ~0rdi:u~ ~_c~;_~ib~uild[n~ g is-classified-asa multi-tenant, multi,story building.~_Tlie
%rdinance provides-for-b~idid~id&/ifi~~~fi~'~n~Tt~i~uilrllng is a
return to the past, with storefronts on the ground level and office space above. The request i~ for
three separate tenant identification signs in keeping with the sign package that was approved by
the Plan Commission.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor of or'opposition to the petition. No one
appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Lillig gave the Department Report. The Plan Commission has approved both Commitment
Amendment and ADLS Amendment petitions for this project and the Department is
recommending favorable consideration.
Discussion followed regarding the 15,000 square foot office space identification on the second
floor.
Mr. Nelson stated any signage would need approval from the Plan Commission. It could be a
ground sign with a directory of the tenants.
Mr. Dierckman moved to approved V-170-02, Merchants' Pointe, Lot 6. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Weinkauf and APPROVED $-0.
Mr. Mohr thanked Den 13 Pack 124 from Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, led by Pat Rice, for
leading the Pledge.
