The applicant proposes to construct a fast food restaurant building. The site is located at
1331 S. Range Line Road. The site is zoned B-8/Business.
Filed by Ryan Oyster of the GPD Group.
The following issues and concerns need to be discussed at the committee meeting:
1. Revised elevations are-anticipated based on discussions with eh applicant addr~ssing
blade sign location, vestibule height, and brick and mortar colors.
2. Ground sign modifications including the following:
a. Change brick beside the sign face to match building brick.
b. Provide separation of two signs down the middle of the sign face with a minimum
of one row of building brick. This will not be counted against sign area.
c. Change sandstone cap below sign to stone band across entire sign structure.
d. Provide a cap to the sign consistent with building ElF'S parapet detail.
3. Callout the gate materials on the dumpster enclosure. Wood or solid metal panel is
requested. A mesh fence material is _not acceptable. The height of the enclosure
should also be illustrated and should be a minimum of one foot taller than any
proposed dumpster.. We would also request the same wainscot brick and stone band
detail be followed to compliment the building detailing.
4. The menu signs should be modified to only have the brick base and sandstone cap
below the sign boards.
The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee forward this item back to
the full Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation after all comments and
concerns are addressed.
Background:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Plan and ADLS for the construction of a
restaurant at 1331 South Range line road. Please see the informational packet prepared by the
applicant for an overview of the site. This proposal will involve the demolition of the existing
Kentucky Fried Chicken building on the subject parcel and the construction of a new building
that is to be occupied by KFC as well as Long John Silvers.
The Department has worked with the applicant to provide the Plan Commission with a site layout
and building elevations that come closer to the standards as proposed under the Carmel Drive
Range line Road Overlay. The proposed building is not two stories but will have extended height
that will provide for a taller appearance along Range Line Road. Several variances are proposed
which will allow for the redevelopment of this site under the existing ordinances. The variances
are related to building setbacks, parking setbacks, and signage.
