RE: Jewel Osco Drive Up and Go
79 McHenry
Jewel Osco is requesting a variation from the sign code that will allow the
installation of a wall mounted channel letter set. The additional sign that is
being proposed will address the new service that Jewel Osco is offering at this
location.
Jewel Osco has started offering an order online with curbside pickup at many of
their Illinois locations. The installation of the wall signage is to make sure the
patrons at in the Village of Buffalo Grove is fully aware of the service at this
location.
Jewel Osco has a frontage dimension that exceeds 330 feet. The signage that is
currently existing on site is proportional to the size of the fagade and the new
sign that measures 59 square feet will not crowd the storefront. Jewel feels that
this sign is comparable to the other signs on the fagade as well as the sign on
other locations with equal frontage dimensions.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation with this matter.
Sincerely,
Lisa Neal
Doyle Signs, Inc.
