PEARSON FORD REMODEL
STATEMENT OF VARIANCE & SUPPORT
Pearson Realty, LLC. (“Pearson”) is pleased to present the plans for the Pearson Ford Remodel, a $3
Million interior and exterior renovaƟ on of the Pearson Ford facility located at the intersecƟ on of 106th
Street and Michigan Road (please see the aerial at Tab 3). Pearson Ford was established in 1960 on 7
acres on Michigan Road with 12 employees. Now, Pearson Ford is a third generaƟ on family business
and has grown to 19 acres with 125 employees.
In 2007, Pearson expanded its business by: (1) building the Performance Collison Center west of the
Pearson Ford building; (2) adding a new repair truck building aƩ ached to the Pearson Ford service
department; and (3) renovaƟ ng an old collision space into a modern Quick Lane for maintenance
on all makes and models. In 2010, the old paint building was renovated into space for the Pearson
Wholesale Parts business. Finally, Noƫ ngham Way, a bisecƟ ng road between Michigan Road and
106th Street, was added. These 2007 and 2010 improvements represent $9 million in investments.
Pearson now seeks to make another upgrade to its business by undertaking a $3 million investment in
the interior and exterior of its building, and it was granted ADLS Amendment Approval at the March
1, 2016, Subdivision CommiƩ ee meeƟ ng. Pearson now is before the BZA Hearing Offi cer respecƞ ully
requesƟ ng a variance of development standards, specifi cally from secƟ on 25.07.02-04(g)(3) to allow
a logo in excess of 25% of the Sign Area (two (2) Ford logo signs). Currently, three (3) signs exist on
the Pearson Ford facade (totaling 166 Ō 2). The remodeled facade also will include three (3) signs, and
the total sign area will be reduced slightly (to 141 Ō 2). The Ford Motor Company requires the new sign
package to allow the property to conƟ nue as an authorized Ford dealership.
The site plan and exisƟ ng condiƟ ons can be found at Tabs 3 & 4, respecƟ vely, while the proposed
elevaƟ ons, renderings, and sign calculaƟ ons can be found at Tabs 6 & 7.
If approved, Pearson plans to begin construcƟ on later this spring.
Thank you for your consideraƟ on.
