Signs PROPOSAL This review is based on additional information that was requested concerning the signs. Mr. Sheehan asked if the petitioner intends to incorporate the LCD screen into the sign as depicted on the proposal plan. Mr. Freedman explained that the main menu board ground sign will not have the LCD screen incorporated into it. It will only have the menu cabinet. Mr. Sheehan asked about the need for both menu board ground signs. Mr. Freedman stated that 100% of the Wendy's stores have the pre-order menu board. The purpose of the pre-order menu board is to display the monthly specials while customers are waiting in line to order. Mr. Pfeil asked if both signs currently exist on the property. Mr. Freedman explained that both sign currently exist but only the main menu board will be replaced. Mr. Sheehan stated that at some point the pre-order menu board sign was installed without a Village permit. The reason that sign is included in the variance is to bring that sign into compliance. Mr. Freedman stated that the main menu board sign will be replaced with the exact same size menu board (52 square feet, including the top portion). Mr. Sheehan stated that he does not have any concerns since the sign is being replaced at the same size. He also instructed Mr. Freedman to prepare to answer questions from the Zoning Board of Appeals concerning the installation of the pre-order menu board sign. Mr. Pfeil asked if the pre-order menu board sign is illuminated. Mr. Freedman stated that it is not. RECOMMENDATION ART recommends approval of the proposed main menu board ground signs.
