informational packet prepazed by the applicant for an overview of the site and proposed building.
The Department has the following comments/concerns:
The "Land Rover Nature Trail" is a unique feature that the commission may want to look
cazefully at. It is something new to the area and is located on the side of the property
adjacent to the residential neighborhood to the north and west.
ADT ,S:
1. Architecture:
a. The Plan Commission will need to see samples of the proposed materials.
2. Landscaping:
a. No additional comments.
3. Signage:
a. The elevations call out "Indianapolis" on the Land Rover identification. The
applicant should present an alternative, as this site is located in Carmel, Indiana.
b. The applicant proposes a roof top mounted "leaper" statue. This would require a
variance and the Department is not in favor of the request.
4. Lighting:

sheets and illustrations).
