This site is currently the home of the Ed Martin Acura dealership, and the common address is 3800 East 96th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240. The subject real estate is presently zoned B-3 (Business District). and the building considered a single tenant office building under the Cannel/Clay Zoning Ordinance. is The Ed Martin Acura dealership previously contained Pontiac, GMC and Acura vehicles for sale. However, Ed Martin has transferred the Pontiac and GMC aspects of the dealership to its store located on Michigan Road, making the 96th Street dealership an exclusively Acura dealership. In order to make this conversion, Acura requires that Ed Martin undertake an exterior renovation in order to participate in its "Acura Image Program", which encourages consistency in appearance of Acura dealerships across the nation. A sample photograph of an Acura Image Program participant is included as Exhibit 4 in the informational brochure. The Special Studies Committee of the Plan Commission unanimously approved the architectural design, lighting, signage appearance, and style of the exterior renovation on October 5, 2004. Since the Ed Martin Acura dealership building occupies frontage along both Marie Drive and 96th Street, it is permitted under the Ordinance one wall or ground sign per frontage pursuant to Section 25.07.02-08(b) of the Ordinance. A ground sign already exists on the Marie Drive frontage, which will be maintained and retrofitted to blend in with the exterior renovation. The wall identification sign permitted under the Ordinance on the 96th Street frontage is the Acura icon, a rendering of which is shown as Exhibit 6 in the informational brochure. Ed Martin is requesting a second wall identification sign on the 96th Street frontage which identifies the Ed Martin name. As a result, Ed Martin is requesting a variance from Section 25.07.02-08(b) of the Ordinance to permit an additional wall sign on the elevation facing 96th Street. A rendering of the proposed Ed Martin wall identification sign is shown as Exhibit 7 in the informational brochure, and it received ADLS approval on October 5, 2004. The variance requested is necessary to facilitate the general public's location of the Ed Martin dealership, and it is consistent with several other dealerships along the 96th Street Corridor. We look forward to presenting the variance request to the Board of Zoning Appeals Heating Officer at the meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on November 22, 2004.
