Department will likely launch a public information campaign in order to get current homeowners to change to 6"
numbers on their homes.

ORDINANCE#97-98-BUFFALO GROVE BUSINESS PARK
Trustee Glover reviewed the reason that she removed this item from the Consent Agenda at the request of the
Zoning Board of Appeals,with the concern that,once temporary leasing signs are put in place,they seem to stay up
forever.
The ZBA did grant a six-month extension for the two lease signs at the Buffalo Grove Business Park,however,
there was much discussion that something needs to be done. One possibility would be meetings between the staff,
the head of the ZBA and the head of the Appearance Commission to see what can be worked out,and perhaps the
entire sign code should be addressed. It was also suggested that Hamilton Partners be used as a resource to gather
their input regarding alternatives.
Moved by Glover,seconded by Rubin,to pass Ordinance#97-98,granting a variance from Section 14.36.010 of the
Buffalo Grove Sign Code allowing for a six-month extension of Rental Signs-Buffalo Grove Business Park. Upon
