Exhibit “D”
SIGN VARIANCE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Napleton Kia of Carmel is the Applicant (“Napleton”) and is the contract purchaser of a parcel
of real estate owned by DYC Realty, LLC, which parcel is approximately 3.74 acres, located generally
northeast of the intersection of Randall Drive and 96th Street and depicted on the enclosed site aerial
exhibit (collectively, the “Real Estate”). The Real Estate is zoned B-3 Business pursuant to the City of
Carmel’s Unified Development Ordinance. Napleton previously obtained approval of an ADLS/DP
request under Docket Number 19050013 DP/ADLS related to their Kia of Carmel automobile dealership
(“Kia Dealership”).
Napleton is filing this development standards variance request related to signage for the Kia
Dealership. The Kia Dealership is a Single Tenant Building and has street frontage along Randall Drive
to the west and 96th Street to the south. As a result, pursuant to the Unified Development Ordinance
(“UDO”), the Kia Dealership would be entitled to two (2) total signs. The signage package that Napleton
reviewed with the Plan Commission as part of its ADLS/DP approval included six (6) total signs for the
Kia Dealership, which signs are described below:
a. Two (2) “Napleton” Wall Signs – located on the west and south elevations.
b. Two (2) “Kia” Wall Signs – located on the west and south elevations.
c. One (1) “Service” Wall Sign – located on west elevation.
d. One (1) “Kia” Ground Sign - located along 96th Street in the southwest corner of the
site.
All proposed signs meet the size requirements of the UDO. In addition to the above signage, at
the request of the Plan Commission as part of the ADLS/DP approval, Napleton also agreed to install a
directional sign with copy that will state “No Test Drives Through Williamson Run” on the northside of
the exit drive near Randall Drive.
In light of the above, Napleton is seeking a variance from UDO Section 5.39 (H) (2) regarding
the permitted number of signs on a Single Tenant Building to permit Napleton to erect six (6) total signs
on the Kia Dealership building.
CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: ______________ V
Petitioner: Napleton Carmel Imports, LLC dba Napleton Kia of Carmel
Request: UDO Section 5.39 (H) (2) Single Tenant Building; Permitted number of signs on a Single
Tenant Building to permit Napleton to erect six (6) total signs on the Kia Dealership building.
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of the requested variances will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community because:
The approval of the requested variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community because the number and size of proposed signs is consistent with
other automobile dealership signage in the general vicinity of the subject Real Estate and the
additional signage will provide additional identification for the general public traveling on the
adjacent roadways.
2. 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 use and value of the area adjacent to the real estate that is the subject of the requested variance will
not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because the number and size of proposed signs is
consistent with other automobile dealership signage in the general vicinity of the subject Real Estate
and the additional signage will provide additional identification for the general public traveling on
the adjacent roadways.
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:
Strict application of the Zoning Ordinance results in practical difficulties in the use of the
Applicant’s site because absent the additional signage, the Applicant will be unable to properly and
adequately identify its location to the general public traveling on the adjacent roadways. The
additional signage will assist in providing proper identification which shall assist in efficient and
safe wayfinding to the site.
