Mr. Balling noted the submission of the Management Report MANAGEMENT REPORT
for July, 1989; there were no questions on same.
Mr. Balling brought the Board up to date on the subject of CROSSINGS
the Crossings Commercial Signage with regard to a question COMMERCIAL SIGNAGE
which came from the floor at the last meeting; details of
this subject are in Mr. Hruby's memo to him of
August 15, 1989.
Mr. Balling stated that it is impractical to get approval
for all signs at this time, because it is not known what the
tenant mix will be and how much frontage of the building
will be used. The only practical approach would be to
approve aesthetics as a separate element, generally in
conjunction with the other aesthetic elements, and require
conformance with the Sign Code as is done with all signage.
With the Board's approval, staff would like to continue with
that process. If there are no objections, Mr. Balling
requests that the Village Board consider the last element of
the Appearance Commission recommendation on the Crossings
signage, which was unanimous approval for the sign package
as recommended, without regard to the variations, because
the tenant mix is simply not know, and asking the owner to
draw out a plan would only be guesswork.
In answer to a question from President Clayton, Mr. Balling
stated that this procedure has not caused a problem in the
past approximately 10 years.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Marienthal, to approve the
Appearance Commission recommendation with regard to the
aesthetics of the sign package for the Crossings Commercial
development.
In answer to a question from Trustee Mathias, Mr. Balling
confirmed that the Board is only approving signs that are
within the present code, and if any variances are needed,
they would have to be presented to the ZBA.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Reid, Mathias, Shifrin, O'Malley
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Glover
Motion declared carried.

Don Parker, one of the partners of the shopping center,
addressed the Board thanking the Board and the employees for
all of their help in work on the shopping center; he then
made a presentation to the Board with regard to the request,
i.e. erecting a pylon sign on the Dundee Road side of the
shopping center which would mirror the pylon sign which is
on the Buffalo Grove Road side of the shopping center, which
is 20' high and 120 square feet of signage.
Mr. Hruby explained that Chairman Heinrich noted "NO"
because of the height of the sign, recommending instead that
it be between 12' and 15' in height.
Mr. Parker pointed out that, while the Taco Bell sign is 12'
in height, it only represents a single tenant, whereas their
sign represents many tenants; he believes that they can make
the sign work at 16 '-17' in height, without having to
reconfigure the entire sign.

#89-62, with the change to allow a sign at the Plaza at
