To Carmel /Clay Advisory Board of Zoning Appeals: ' '� ,
Docket No. 12090012 V: Olive Garden Restaurant—Carmel, IN j
Summary of Variance Request(s):
This project involves the redevelopment of two (2) vacant parcels of land located near the intersection of
Michigan Road and Retail Parkway. The lots are currently zoned Industrial (I-1) with a Michigan Road
Corridor Overlay Zone.
The proposed 3.6 acre development will include dedication of property, extension of Retail Parkway, a new
Olive Garden Restaurant and all of the associated site improvements—parking, landscaping, lighting, storm
water detention, etc.
The US Highway 421 - Michigan Road Corridor Overlay Zone includes specific requirements for
Architectural Design, Landscaping, Parking, Lighting, Signage and Access. The Olive Garden representatives
and consultants have worked diligently with the City of Carmel Planning Department to incorporate the Overlay
Zone standards to create a sense of place that will encourage future development along Michigan Road.
Olive Garden is requesting an Architectural Design Variance for an increase in the percentage of EIFS
material allowed on their exterior elevations. This is an integral architectural feature of the Olive Garden design
that has been modified to meet the Plan Commission requirements.
Please see detailed information attached.
Sincerely,
#ei /.1 per--
