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. CiT,Y OF, CARMEL.

Carmel Clay Schools would like to incorporate one institutional sign into the proposed Freshman Center Project on the Carmel High School campus. The institutional sign would include a wall-mounted sign on the east side of the new addition constructed as part of this Project. This additional signage has been included as part of an approved effort to recognize former Carmel High School Principal, Dr. William Duke, by naming the Performing Arts areas of the school in his honor. The designation of the Performing Arts Center in Dr. Duke's honor lead to locating this new sign on the new addition to the Performing Arts area of the High School. This additional sign would exceed the requirements of Section 25.7.02-5 of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance. Existing institutional signs approved by two previous variance requests will remain in the current locations. , State reasons supporting the Development Standards Variance: This additional signage has been included as part of an approved effort by Carmel Clay Schools and Carmel High School to recognize former Carmel High School Principal, Dr. William Duke, by naming the Performing Arts areas of the school in his honor. The designation of the Performing Arts Center in Dr. Duke's honor lead to locating this new sign on the new east addition to the Performing Arts area of the High School. The signage is wall-mounted individual letters, non-illuminated, similar to the other wall-mounted institutional signage located around the High School building. The naming of portions of the building is also consistent with existing signage including the Eric Clark Activity Center on the west side of the building. Within this large building and campus, this additional signage will not appear as excessive or obtrusive.
