CARMEL/CLAY BOARD 'OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
FINDINGS OF FACT- DEVELOPMENTAL 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 additional sign will heip identify a specific area of the building honoring a specific
person associated with the school. 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.
