President Armstrong stated that Mr. and Mrs . Kemmerly have requested
permission to install a sign including a time and temperature
apparatus , which would require a variance to the sign ordinance
to be granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals . Mr. Larson stated
that the ZBA will not meet until January. Trustee Vogt moved the
Board waive that portion of the Sign Ordinance which pertains to
flashing lights and grant permission to erect the sign. Trustee
Mahoney seconded the motion. Trustee Fabish stated that "by-
passing" the ZBA is wrong. Trustee Rathjen pointed out that none
of the Board members had even seen the blueprints or plans of the
proposed sign, and he further stated he felt if the Village Board
granted the variation, we would be violating the established pro-
cedure of allowing the Zoning Board of Appeals to handle these
type questions ; and, if we allow this variation, we would be asked
in the future to circumvent the ZBA, just as we were doing with
the Kemmerly question. Trustee Vogt stated that he has seen the
Kemmerly sign and that it is attractive. A roll call vote found
the following:
