DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
Firestone Industrial Products, LLC

Overview:
Petitioner, Firestone Industrial Products, LLC "Firestone a subsidiary of Bridgestone

of a proposed Global Research and Development facility to be located at the former Conseco

Firestone is an industry leader in many product lines other than tires, including building and
industrial products, natural rubber, and fibers and textiles. The proposed facility will serve as the
global research and development facility for these other product lines.
Currently, Firestone has multiple testing, research and development facilities that serve these
other product lines. Firestone intends to consolidate several of its existing facilities into a single
location to serve as its global headquarters. At this time, Firestone has identified two potential
locations. The subject property is the only site being considered in Indiana and this
administrative review will assist Firestone in determining the appropriateness of this location.
The proposed consolidation represents a multi million dollar investment into one location that
will include the relocation over fifty (50) employees, primarily mid- to senior -level engineers, to
the community.
Building, Site Sign Modifications:
1. Exterior Building Modifications
(a) North Facade:

(a) Remove parking spaces from in front (west) of building and replace with Rain
Garden Bio -Swale Area.
(b) Modify the parking areas along the north facade and south facade of the building

Everything looks ok with the ground sign. Also, I did receive an email from the sign company: they will stick with the 75 sq.

Subject: RE: Dec. 1 Plan Commission committee meeting dept reports
Angie:
In your Staff report, you raised two issues about the proposed ground sign. You wanted to know the width of the sign
and you gave a heads -up about potential maintenance problems for in- ground lights.
In response to the sign size, I can tell you that the sign text is 16' -6" wide by 3' -7" tall for a total sign area of 59 sq. ft.
