The exterior renovations will be done over the existing footprint of the building. They are also proposing to construct an addition on the east side of the existing building. Ms. Neukirch inquired about the previously proposed redevelopment for the property. Mr. Svigos advised that things have changed since they spoke with the Village concerning redevelopment. He does not see any redevelopment happening within the next 5 to 10 years. To demolish and rebuild does not make sense at this time. The proposed exterior modifications and the addition are more feasible. Mr. Vittore added that it makes more sense to reface the existing building. Mr. Svigos advised that some leases are longer term. Mr. Svigos explained that their proposal is similar to what is being done at their property in Wheeling. They will work with the existing structure, remove and replace the entire fagade. The proposed materials will be real stone and brick. The tower idea is being used at the Wheeling location. The proposed modifications will allow them to bring a grocery store to the site. Dominick's subleased their old space to Rogan Shoes. The Dominick's lease expires in 2011. Rogan's was not an ideal tenant for that space. When Rogan's sublease is up, they have stated that they will commit to a 5,000 to 10,000 square foot space. They currently lease approximately 45,000 square feet. Since they do not have a current space for Rogan's, they will have to expand to the east. They are planning on expanding 10,000 square feet to the east. They are trying to hide the barrel roof. Mr. Sheehan stated that a parking analysis will need to be conducted to determine if they have the required amount of parking for the proposed. Mr. Svigos stated that with the addition they will be close to meeting the parking requirements, but will be short by approximately 10 to 15 spaces. There is a flood plain to the east of the existing building. Current building setbacks may not be in compliance. Ms. Neukirch stated that the proposed is an overall improvement. An amendment to the PUD will be required. The Village will need a site plan showing the exact location of the proposed addition, the square footage information, building height, etc. She will follow-up in writing and provide the steps that should be undertaken to present the proposal to the Village Board who will then refer the proposal to the Plan Commission. An Appearance Review will be part of the Plan Commission process. She also suggested updating the Center's Sign criteria at the same time. Mr. Svigos asked whether or not the Village is on board with the proposal. He does not want to proceed if the Village does not support the request. He believes they are close to meeting the parking requirements. He also cannot move the existing building to meet the setback requirements for the property. Mr. Sheehan stated that a variation may already exist for the setback. Ms. Neukirch suggested to Mr. Svigos to contact an engineer concerning the proposed addition. Mr. Sheehan asked this the proposed addition will line up with the front of the Center or if the addition will be setback. Mr. Svigos stated that the addition would be in line with the front of the Center. Employee parking would be located behind the addition. They would like to keep the ground sign, but may need to relocate it. A variance would probably be needed for that. Mr. Sheehan suggested possibly moving the ground sign closer the Buffalo Grove Road. Ms. Berman asked about the signs for the tenants. Mr. Svigos stated that at the Wheeling location, the fagade is comprised of brick, stone and steel. If they incorporate the steel, the signs would be located on the steel. If not, the signs would be located on the stone fagade. Mr. Svigos added that they have incorporated arched openings on the addition to the east. Ms. Berman asked if the tenants would remain during the modifications. Mr. Svigos stated that tenants could remain during the construction. Ms. Neukirch stated that she will email Mr. Svigos the Petition that will need to be completed and submitted as well as the submittal requirements. Mr. Svigos will forward the proposed site plan prior to the item going before the Village Board. They have contemplated some exterior modifications such as replacing the windows as they did with Dr. Lake. RECOMMENDATION The proposal shall be submitted to the Village Board for referral to the Plan Commission once all the required documentation has been submitted. A formal ART review will be conducted with members of the Plan Commission.

Mr. Sheehan has reviewed the request with Bob Pfeil and there were no issues. The color of the proposed canopy is acceptable. Mr. Sheehan stated that 6 to 8 months ago, the circular island located at the southeast entrance to the property was requested to be removed and the entrance curbs would be reconfigured. He requests verification as to whether or not that work will still be done. Mr. Sheehan also stated that the For rent, Sale, Lease Sign located on the property is not in compliance. The sign is located closer to the property line than required. This must be corrected. RECOMMENDATION The ART recommends approval of the proposed exterior modifications subject to the following conditions: 1. Verification of the removal of the circular island located at the southeast entrance. 2. The For Rent, Sale, Lease Sign must be relocated to comply with the Sign Code.
