REVISED SIGN
PROPOSAL
Mr. Kang, both verbally and in writing, informed ART that the reason for the change
from the approved Sushi Thai signs to Sushi Thai II was due to a requirement from the
State of Illinois. They could not use the same name as their sister restaurant in
Libertyville thus had to change the name of the business.
Brian Sheehan stated he spoke with the Village of Buffalo Grove attorney, William
Raysa, who stated they would have to change the name on the sign to Sushi Thai II if
that is the named registered with the state.
RECOMMENDATION
The consensus of the ART is that the proposed change is a slight modification of the
Sushi Thai sign that was approved on April 10, 2009 and subsequently approved by the
ZBA on May 191h. The revised sign was approved.
Mr. Kang has submitted the paperwork to submit to the ZBA for their review at the July
21, 2009 meeting.
OUTDOOR SEATING AREA
PROPOSAL
Mr. Kang presented the documents for the outside seating area. He made the changes
that were requested at the April 10, 2009 meeting and the additional comments that
were addressed by both the Building and Zoning Department and the Fire Department.
RECOMMENDATION
ART approved the outdoor seating area as approved on the documents submitted with
the last revised date of 7-13-09.
