It is consistent with other signage on the building. It is not highlighted or lighted in any manner, nor does it include any potential objectionable text. The identification of this area by the signage would not increase .vehicular or student traffic in the area of the sign. . 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 wall sign will be similar to the signage previously approved and installed at Carmel High School. The proposed signs are lettering without specific designs or special lighting effects, in the area of the proposed sign, there exists a landscape buffer between the school site and the adjacent properties, providing additional screening of the signage. The sign would not adversely affect adjacent properties. 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: Previous approved variances for the Carmel High School campus have supported these issues and allowed multiple institutional signage to be erected on the campus. The large size of the building will support the additional sign without giving the image of an excessive amount of signage. The location is far enough away from other institutional signs to not provide conflicting information or direction for visitors to the building and site.
