Exhibit "D"
LANDSCAPE 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 96t"' 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 has filed a development standards variance request, under Docket Number 19090009 V,
related to landscaping for the Kia Dealership. Specifically, Napleton is requesting a variance from UDO
Section 5.19.17.1 to reduce the number of tree plantings in the west and south perimeter yards due to existing
utility easements in those perimeter yards.
CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: 19090009V
Petitioner: Napleton Cannel Imports, LLC dba Napleton Kia of Carmel
Request: UDO Section 5.19 (F) (1) Perimeter Landscaping; Permitted to reduce the number of required
plantings in the west and south perimeter bufferyards due to existence of utility easements in these bufferyards.
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of the requested variance 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, despite the variance being requested the proposed landscape
plan complies with all other UDO planting and landscaping requirements and has been reviewed and
approved by the Urban Forester. Further, the landscape plan for the Real Estate will provide appropriate
and attractive landscaping for the Real Estate.
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, despite the variance being requested the
proposed landscape plan complies with all other UDO planting and landscaping requirements and has
been reviewed and approved by the Urban Forester. Further, the landscape plan for the Real Estate will
provide appropriate and attractive landscaping for the Real Estate.
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 the existing utility easements in the west and south bufferyards prohibit the planting of certain
types of landscape material (i.e.: trees) and absent the variance, the Applicant will be unable to develop its
site as proposed. Further, the Applicant is only seeking a limited landscape variance. Despite the variance
being requested, the proposed landscape plan complies with all other UDO planting and landscaping
requirements and has been reviewed and approved by the Urban Forester. The landscape plan for the Real
Estate will provide appropriate and attractive landscaping for the Real Estate.

Docket No. 19090008V is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this meeting, which are
