request for variations; and
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities of the Village of Buffalo Grove hereby determine
and find that said variations are in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Sign Ordi-

the sign user because of unique or unusual conditions pertaining to the property, (2) the granting
of the requested variances will not be materially detrimental to the property owners in the
vicinity, (3) the unusual conditions applying to the specific property do not apply generally to
other properties in the Village, and (4) the granting of the variances will not be contrary to the
0
general objective of this title of moderating the size, number and obtrusive placement of signs

Mr. Guy Dragisic, Olympic Signs, 1130 N. Garfield, Lombard,
IL 60148 (630- 424 -6100) was present. Mr. Jeff Gylling,
Construction Manager for Wendy's was sworn in.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
NOVEMBER 17, 1998 - PAGE TWO
Mr. Gylling said Wendy's does not have any alternate signs.
The proposed signs are trademarks.
Mr. Dragisic described the signs that have been requested:
1. The wall sign on the east elevation consists of
illuminated channel letters.
2. An off - premise ground sign in front of the
building that is less than 250 feet from an
existing Woodland Commons ground sign.
3. A changeable copy menu board with a speaker
pedestal. Graphic slicks that can be changed
are used in place of lettering.
Ch. Heinrich had no problem with the menu board.
Com. Arbus said the menu board must be screened from Rt. 22.
Mr. Gylling presented the landscape plan that includes
plantings along Route 22. The shrubs are 36" and 24" and
were intended to shield car headlights. The Village
Forester has approved the plan.
1. Menu Board:
Ch. Heinrich noted that the menu board on the site plan
submitted to the ZBA is not in the same location as the
one Mr.Gylling presented. The menu board will not be
parallel to Route 22 and the lettering will not be seen.
Mr. Gylling said this is a brand new prototype Wendy's
building and there are only 2 or 3 in the whole country.
Concessions were made to screen the trash enclosure with
brick and raise the parapet to screen the HVAC equipment.
The stacking lanes have been revised. The Village Board
has approved the site plan and the landscaping.
Ch. Heinrich said the residents, who were present at the
last ZBA meeting, objected to the car lights shining out
toward Route 22.
The menu board is 517" in height and the shrubs in front
of the driveway along Route 22 need to be to six feet (61)
tall and they should be evergreens, not deciduous plants.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
NOVEMBER 17, 1998 - PAGE THREE
Mr. Gylling agreed to this stipulation.
Com. Windecker said the menu board should be screened and
the plantings in front of the cars should be six foot (61).
Com. Paul said with proper screening he had no objections
to the menu board.
There are some parking spaces in front of the building that
are angled toward Route 22. Mr. Gylling said most people
will prefer to park on the other side of the building. This
is a state right -of -way and it would require state approval
to plant anything in front of these spaces. He will review
this issue with the landscape architect.
Com. Sandler agreed that the bushes should screen the
driveway.
2. Wall Signs:
After review of the wall signs on the south and west
elevations, Mr. Gylling agreed to eliminate the one on
the south elevation facing Route 22, because the ground
sign will be sufficient identification of the building.
3. Ground Sign:
Mr. Gylling said the ground sign will be installed on a
212" brick base that will match the building. It is not
the standard Wendy's ground sign.
The restaurant opens at 10 AM. It closes at midnight Monday
through Thursday and closes at 1 AM on Saturday and Sunday.
The lights will be on a timer and will not be left on all
night. The base of the sign will be landscaped.
The Commissioners had no objection to the ground sign if
the wall sign on the south elevation is eliminated.
There were no comments from the audience.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
NOVEMBER 17, 1998 - PAGE FOUR
Ch. Heinrich mentioned Tabling until December to permit
the petitioners to consult the landscape architect with
regard to the plantings in front of the drive -thru.
Mr. Gylling said the configuration of the bed of plantings
in front of the driveway could be straightened and planted
with two rows of evergreens - one 6' and one 3' in height.
They hope to open mid - January and it is necessary to have
the signs approved on December 7th. He would prefer not
to Table.
Trustee Reid suggested making this a regular Agenda item.
Ch. Heinrich agreed and said he would attend the meeting
and the Village Board can address the landscape issue.
Com. Arbus made the following motion:
I move we recommend to the
Trustees that the variance

The base of the sign will be landscaped
with a variety evergreens and other plants.
The sign to be lighted only during the

Menu Board is to be 57" in height and the
petitioner has agreed to landscape the
site with evergreens and plantings that
are an approximate height of six feet,
so that the car and headlights will be
shielded from Route 22.
Petitioner also indicated the desire to
provide landscaping in front of the
angled parking spaces facing outside of
the drive -up window. He will consult
with the landscape architect and will
present the revisions to the Village Board.

petition and eliminate the wall signs
on the southeast and north elevations

RE: Description of proposed signage for Wendy's Restaurant located in Outlot Parcel B
of the Woodland Commons Shopping Center.
Wall Signs:
• 3 each WIL36C channel letter signs with cameo. Signs measure 3' x 10'8" for a total of 32
sq.ft., each.
• The proposed location of these signs is the fit, left and r► �t elevations. (See attached
elevation drawing). �l`�
• By your code only one sign is permitted. Therefore, we are seeking your approval of a sign
code variation which will allow the other two wall signs.
Menuboard Sign:
• One (1) menu sign measuring 57" x 106 %" for a total of 41.9 sq.ft.
• Menuboard will be located toward rear of building, see attached site plan, at an overall height
of 69 ".
• Per village code a variation will be required to allow all the copy which indicates their
available items and their corresponding prices.
Monument Sign:
• One (1) WP54 I.D. sign measuring T10" x 9' for a total, not counting the dead space, of 54
sq.ft.
• Sign will be located along Rt. 22 side of building, see attached site plan, at an overall height
of 10'.
• 3 variations, possibly 4, will be required in order for Wendy's to have this sign. The
variations are as follows:
• To allow a second monument sign.
• To allow a ground sign to be placed within 250' of another sign.
• To allow an off - premise I.D. sign.
• Depending on how you calculate the total square feet of the sign, if a box is drawn around
the whole sign the square footage would be 70 sq.ft. Therefore, it would be 10 sq.ft. over
the allowable 60 sq.ft.
A letter granting Wendy's permission to install their monument sign on the mall's property has
en attached to this package.

Ch. Gordon asked Mr. Stewart to submit specific PMS
color. He informed Mr. Stewart that should one of the
three(3) middle tenants prefer a different color, it would
have to be submitted to the Appearance Commission for
approval.
Mr. Stewart agreed with these requests. The red would be
Walgreens red and the green would be Mermaid #404.
Mr. Stewart summarized the variations they are requesting.
They are the Pharmacy and One Hour Photo signs on the
north and west elevations of the Walgreens building and for
the north and south elevations of the retail building for
the corner tenants because they do not face a right -of -way.
Com. Johnson made a motion to recommend approval of the
architecture, materials, colors, landscaping and lighting
for the Walgreens and Retail Buildings at Buffalo Grove
Road and Aptakisic Roads, as submitted, with a recommenda-
tion for a variation for the number of signs per face on
north and west elevations of the Walgreens building and the
percentage size of the Drive Thru Pharmacy on the non- right-

Wendy's International, Inc. - Signs
Recommenda i on nr vari ances of Sicrn Code,
Mr. Guy Dragisic, Olympic Signs, 1130 N. Garfield, Lombard,
IL 60148 (630- 424 -6100) made the presentation. The Wendy's
architecture, materials and colors were reviewed on Septem-
ber 24, 1998 and the petitioners were informed that some of
the signs require variance of the Sign Code.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 24, 1998 - PAGE FIVE
Mr. Dragisic said Wendy's has withdrawn the request to
install a wall sign on the northeast elevation that faces he
shopping center. He described the following signs and
requested a recommendation for variances of the Sign Code:
1. Two (2) #WYL -36c signs, Wendy's with the cameo.
Two (2) signs on the southeast and east elevations.
The sign on the southeast elevation faces Half Day Road
and is permitted. The sign on the right elevation
(facing east) requires a variance. Colors will be
Wendy's red with bronze returns.
2. One (1) Drive -Thru menu board with changeable copy
and a speaker pedestal would located at the west
end of the building. Monthly specials are depicted
across the top four(4) sections of the menu board.
Backgound color of these sections will match the menu
board. The speaker is not attached to the menu board.
3. A second ground sign would be an off - premise
sign and it would be located on the mall's property.
A letter, dated August 27, 1998, from Wasily Demichow,
Wendy's Project Manager, was submitted approving the
installation of the proposed sign. This sign would
be located approximately 170 feet from the existing
Woodland Commons ground sign. The sign has a two foot
two inch (21211) brick base (to match the building)and
is ten feet (101)in height. It is fifty -four square
feet (54 sf) in area if the space around the cameo is
not included in the meaurement. Based on property
frontage the Sign Code permits a sixty square foot
(60 sf) ground sign.
Ch. Gordon asked if the height of the base could be reduced
and Mr.Dragisic responded the 212" base permits snow removal
without damage to the sign.
Com. Johnson suggested an alternate location of the sign on
the island at the east corner of the property. This would
be farther away Woodland Commons ground sign, but part of
this island is not located on the Wendy's parcel.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 24, 1998 - PAGE SIX
Mr. Dragisic said he could not be sure if the sign would fit
on the island and permit any landscaping around the base.
Another thing to consider would be if there is a setback
issue. The proposed location does not obstruct traffic and
is perferred.
Ch. Gordon agreed that the island would be a more prefera-
ble location for the ground sign and the Appearance Commis-
sion can recommend it to the ZBA and Village Board. This
would be an issue for Staff to review.
Com. Johnson made a recommendation to the Zoning Board of
Appeals and Village Board to grant variances of the Sign
Code that have been requested by Wendy's at 300 Half
Day Road, Woodland Commons Shopping Center.
The Appearance Commission further recommends consideration
that the ground sign be relocated to the southeast corner
of the site to increase the distance from the Woodland
Commons ground sign.
Com. Masure seconded the motion.

GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM SECTIONS
14.20.030, 14.40.145, 14.40.020 and 14.20.080
OF THE BUFFALO GROVE SIGN ORDINANCE
WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove is a Home Rule Unit pursuant to the Illinois
Constitution of 1970; and
WHEREAS, WENDY'S INTERNATIONAL, INC., One Energy Center, 40 Shuman
Boulevard, Suite 130, Naperville, Illinois, Owner of the hereinafter legally described real
property commonly known as 300 Half Day Road, Buffalo Grove, Illinois, has requested a
variation from Sections 14.20.030 and 14.40.145 of the Sign Code for the purpose of installing
an off - premises ground sign less than two hundred fifty feet (250') from an existing permanent
ground sign, Section 14.40.020, for the purpose of installing a second ground sign (a Menu
Board), and Section 14.20.080 for the purpose of installing a wall sign on the west elevation of
the building that does not face a public right -of -way; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals has held a public hearing, received testimony,
prepared minutes, made certain findings, and has made an affirmative recommendation on said
request for variations; and
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities of the Village of Buffalo Grove hereby determine
and find that said variations are in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Sign Ordi-
nance, and that (1) the ordinance in question would cause undue and unnecessary hardship to
the sign user because of unique or unusual conditions pertaining to the property, (2) the granting
of the requested variances will not be materially detrimental to the property owners in the
vicinity, (3) the unusual conditions applying to the specific property do not apply generally to
other properties in the Village, and (4) the granting of the variances will not be contrary to the
,1
general objective of this title of moderating the size, number and obtrusive placement of signs
and the reduction of clutter.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF
TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, COOK AND LAKE COUNTIES,
ILLINOIS, as follows:
Section 1. The preceding WHEREAS clauses are hereby adopted by the Corporate
Authorities.
Section 2. Variations are hereby granted to Sections 14.20.030, 14.20.145, 14.40.020
and 14.20.080 of the Village Sign Ordinance to the property legally described in Exhibit "A"
hereto.
The specific variations are:
1. Ground Sign - An off - premises ground sign is to be permitted as shown
Petitioner's Exhibit "A ". The sign is to be no greater than 9' in width and 10'
in height and the brick base is to be 2'2" in height. The sign portion will be
7'10" without the Wendy's logo. The base of the sign will be landscaped with
a variety of evergreens and other plants. The sign will be lighted only during the
hours the store is open for business to the general public. The sign will be
perpendicular to Route 22.
2. Menu Board - A second ground sign, a Menu Board, will be permitted as
shown on Petitioner's Exhibit "A ", as revised. The sign will be 57" in height
and will be landscaped with evergreen and plantings that are an approximate
height of 6', so that car headlights will be shielded from Route 22. Petitioner
will also provide landscaping in front of the angled parking spaces facing outside
of the drive -up window pursuant to a landscape plan presented to the Board.
3. Wall Signs - Petitioner will be allowed to install a wall sign on the west
elevation of the building, facing Buffalo Grove Road, per Exhibit E, but agrees
