The site is located at 9965 N. Michigan Road(previous location of Red Robin), part of West Carmel Marketplace,
Block F. It is zoned B2/Business and within the US 421 Overlay District. Filed by Joe Vavrina of HR Green,on
behalf of Chick-Fil-A.
Petitioner: Joe Vavrina:
• Presented site plan, this site is on a corner lot with two street frontages, so we have a hardship on the location of the
drive-thru
• The reasoning for the not having the 8-ft bump out is we prefer to the have the parking within the interior of the site
• Presented landscape plan, we've added as much landscaping that is allowed on our site
• Presented photometric plan, we have reduced what we originally submitted but we don't think this negatively
affecting any of our neighbors
• Presented signage plan and sign elevations, we will have a changeable message board(non-digital)on our free-
standing monument sign
Public Comments: None
Department Report: Mike Hollibaugh:
• The Department is recommending positive consideration for all their variance requests
• Staff will continue to work with the Petitioner on their design standards of the Michigan Overlay
Board Comments:
Brad: Is the photometric plan the current plan you are proposing? So, if the variance granted, a brighter light plan will not
be presented.Joe Vavrina: Correct.
