RE: Sign Variance—Strathmore Shopping Center—Arlington Heights&McHenry Roads
Dear Committee Members:
Thank you for considering our application for a variance to the Sign ordinance to allow for a
second ground sign at Strathmore Shopping Center.
We are seeking the variance because the Strathmore Shopping Center consists of two retail
buildings located on different streets,and are perpendicular to the BMO Harris Bank at the
corner. One retail building is not visible from the other. I have included the tenant lists for both
buildings,as I am certain you are familiar with many if not all of these businesses. Each sign
will be set back 15 feet from the property line.
When I began managing Strathmore at the end of 2012,the center was 50%vacant and in deep
financial difficulty. Since that time,the buildings are fully tenanted,and we have performed
major repaving of parking lots,masonry work, and improved the landscaping and lighting.
Having attractive signage,beautifully landscaped, that is clearly indicative of each tenant's
location is a goal we have had from the beginning and we now have the capital to provide.
Please see the Aurora Sign Company proposal outlining the specific size,material and other
pertinent information. The proposed location is on the updated survey,also attached.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
I
Best Regards,
I

confirmed that the tenant spaces are fully leased.
Mr. Stilling advised that staff supports the request and the size conforms to the Sign
Code requirements. Ms.Akash added that the Village received 2 calls inquiring about the
variation and there were no concerns expressed.
