During your testimony at the public Hearing you need to testify and present your case for the
variance being requested. During your testimony you need to affirmatively address the four (4)
standards listed below. I have completed the first one for you since it is not applicable. I have left
you room to write down your statements in advance of the meeting.
The Planning & Zoning Commission is authorized to grant variations to the regulations of the
Fence Code based upon findings of fact which are made based upon evidence presented at the
hearing that:
1. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances;
Your Evidentiary Statement: Due to our lot lines, we have limited back yard space. As a
result, our young children play in the front or side yard. Being on a corner lot, playing in
the front or side yard without a fence is a safety issue for our children. Additionally, the
house across the street is a day care. During drop off and pick up times, there are many
cars in the street, limiting visibility to our front yard. This makes it dangerous for our
children to play out in the front without close, direct supervision. A fenced in back and
side yard gives us privacy and a safe place for our children to play outside.
2. The proposed variation will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood;
Your Evidentiary Statement: Throughout our neighborhood, there are several corner lot
fences. Our fence would be in keeping with those that are already part of the character
of our neighborhood. A new fence will improve the look of our overall property.
3. There are practical difficulties or particular hardships in carrying out the strict letter of
this Chapter which difficulties or hardships have not been created by the person
presently having an interest in the property; and,
Your Evidentiary Statement: We lack privacy in the backyard, as our backyard abuts the
side yard of our neighbors. There is no privacy between the two homes. Also, there is
no privacy on the side yard; all passersby can see directly into the rear of our house.
Additionally, as stated above, we lack the safety that a fence provides our children to
play outside.
4. The proposed variation will not be detrimental to the public health safety and welfare.
Your Evidentiary Statement: Because of the angle of our lot and the location of the
proposed fence, the fence will not obstruct the intersection. The fence will improve the
safety and welfare of our children and will not impede visibility of traffic at the
intersection.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Jewel Osco is located in the southwest corner tenant space in the
Grove Shopping Center. The Petitioner Doyle Sign Inc. on behalf
of Jewel Osco is requesting for a variation to allow for an
additional wall sign on the west elevation of the building.

increased sales through curb side pick-up and delivery. This proposed sign facilitates the drive up and go
grocery pick-up.
Presently, Jewel Osco has installed a temporary banner in the proposed sign space which has helped their
customers with the drive up and go grocery pick-up.
The proposed sign measures 14’ X 6’ which is 84 square feet in area and meets Code for size of the sign.
VARIATION STANDARDS
Pursuant to the Village Code, the Planning & Zoning Commission is authorized to make a recommendation to the
Village Board based on the following criteria:
A. Except for Prohibited signs (Chapter 14.32), the Village Planning & Zoning Commission may recommend
approval or disapproval of a variance from the provisions or requirements of this Title subject to the
following:
1. The literal interpretation and strict application of the provisions and requirements of this Title would
cause undue and unnecessary hardships to the sign user because of unique or unusual conditions
pertaining to the specific building, parcel or property in question; and
2. The granting of the requested variance would not be materially detrimental to the property owners in
the vicinity; and
3. The unusual conditions applying to the specific property do not apply generally to other properties in
the Village; and
4. The granting of the variance will not be contrary to the purpose of this Title pursuant to Section
14.04.020
B. Where there is insufficient evidence, in the opinion of the Planning & Zoning Commission, to support a
finding under subsection (A), but some hardship does exist, the Planning & Zoning Commission may
consider the requirement fulfilled if:
1. The proposed signage is of particularly good design and in particularly good taste; and
2. The entire site has been or will be particularly well landscaped.
The petitioner shall respond to the standards at the public hearing.
SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS
Pursuant to Village Code, the property owners within 250 feet of the subject property were notified and a public
hearing sign was posted on the subject property. The posting of the public hearing sign and the mailed
notifications were completed within the prescribed timeframe as required. To date, staff received two calls but
no concerns were raised regarding the proposed west elevation sign.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval for this variation subject to the following conditions:
1. The proposed additional sign shall be constructed in accordance to the plans and documents submitted
as part of this petition.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) shall open the public hearing and take public testimony concerning the
variation. The PZC shall make a recommendation to the Village Board.

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 façade 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 façade as well as the sign on
other locations with equal fr ontage dimensions.
Th ank you for your assistance and cooperation with this matter.
Sincerely,
Lisa Neal

2. Consider Variations to Allow a Fence Encroach into the Corner Yard Setback & Exceed a
Maximum Height at 301 Ronnie Drive (Trustee Johnson) (Staff Contact: Nicole Woods)
Achila Jayasurya - 301 Ronnie Drive - was sworn in.
The petitioner described his variation for an already installed solid 6 foot fence that
encroaches on the corner yard setback and exceeds maximum height. The contracter
had installed the fence and would not return the petitioners phone calls after the fence
had failed inspection for encroachment and maximum height.
Com. Moodhe spoke briefly on the type/style of fences in the area. He commented that
the fence is similar to the other fences in the area.
Chairperson Cesario asked if any calls had come in.
Village Planner Akash responded yes, but no objections were raised.
Com. Khan asked for verification on the contractor.
The petitioner responded that the contractor was registered with the Village, submitted
plans and was provided a permit. He then completed the work outside of the approved
plans.
Com. Moodhe asked about the integrity of the fence.
Village Planner Akash responded that the integrity of the fence is fine. It only failed
inspection because of the encroachment in the yard setback and height.
Deputy Community Development Director Woods provided clarity to the Commissioners
regarding the fence and the petitioner’s situation.
Chairperson Cesario entered the staff report as exhibit one.
The public meeting closed at 7:51 PM.
Com. Weinstein made a motion to approve a variation for an existing 6 foot solid fence
which is setback 17 feet from the property line along Thompson Boulevard as shown in
the drawings submitted to the Village.
Com. Cohn seconded the motion.
Chairperson Cesario noted that the fence looks nice and makes sense.
Com. Moodhe commented on the unique situation and fits in - Thompson Blvd is a busy
road.
