State explanation of requested Developmental Standards Variance: (State what you want to do and cite the section number(s) of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance which applies and/or creates the need for this request). A. Carmel Clay Schools would like to construct a building identification sign with changeable copy in .excess of the size limitations and overall height taller than required by Section 25.7.02-5 of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance. 8. State reasons supporting the Developmental Standards Variance: A. The proposed size of the building identification and changeable copy sign is required to provide space appropriate to announce and inform patrons of events sCheduled at the school. The proposed size will allow the announcements to be legible by vehicles coming to or passing the project site. The proposed size of 36 square feet is within the total allowable area for both changeable copy and institutional sig'nage of 46 square feet. The changeable copy area of 24 square feet exceeds the allowable of 16 square feet. Due to the height needed for the lettering, the overall height of the proposed sign of 6'-2" exceeds the allowable height of 5'-0". The overages noted are very close to the ordinance requirements, and would not negatively impact the area, while providing legible copy for patrons. Docket No.: Petitioner: 1 .

(Petitioner or his representative to Page 8 of 8 - z:\shared\forms\BZA applications\ Development Standards Variance Application rev. 03/01/05 CARMEL/CLA Y BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS CARMEL,. INDIANA FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARDS VARIANCE 1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community because: The building identification signage is ~equired to proviqe identification to the project site as well as inform patrons of events. The size of the signage is appropriate for the frontage and overall size of the site and building. The directional traffic signage needs to be legible to provide the important directional information ensuring safe ingress and egress of vehicles. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantiC1l1y adverse manner because: The signage will be kept as low in height as practical. The overall design. will be compatible with the school building including the use bf similar colors and brick material. Appropriate landscaping will be provided at the building identification sign to further enhance the aesthetic appeal of the site. 3. 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 size limitations of the building identification sign would prohibit the signage that is legible from passing vehicles at a distance. There are typically multiple events scheduled at the school that need to be announced to patrons. The strict application of the size limitations would greatly Jimit the ability of the school to fully inform patrons.
