During your testimony you need to afFirmatively address the six(6)standards listed below. The Planning&Zoning Commission is authorized to grant variations to the regulations of the Sign Code(Chapter 14.40) based upon findings of fact which are made based upon evidence presented at the hearing that: 1. The literal interpretation and strict application ofthe provisions and requirements ofthis 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 Response:YES,the original sign on the east elevation was approved through variance in 2012.The new sign is going back on the same elevation at a reduced square footage from the existing.This elevation offers much needed visibility to the main entry drive to the shopping center. 2. The granting of the requested variance would not be materially detrimental to the property owners in the vicinity; and Response:NO,we are reducing the sign of the size from the existing,so it will not have an negative impact on the nearby property owners. 3. The unusual conditions applying to the specific property do not apply generally to other properties in the Village; and Response:CORRECT,what makes this site unusual is the adjacent large shopping center and the private drive. 4. The granting of the variance will not be contrary to the purpose of this Title pursuant to Section 14.04.020. Response:CORRECT,the granting of the variance would be in alignment with the previous variance from 2012 that has already been granted. 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 Response:YES,signage design and style is consistent with the existing sign that is being replaced.The bank is simply re-branding with a simplified logo. 2. The entire site has been or will be particularly well landscaped. Response:YES,there are existing trees around the property of the bank. :� ` • ' � _ . �°...� 1 ORDINANCE NO. 92- 52 GR.ANTING A VARIANCE FR�M SECTIQN 14.20.030 ( OF THE BUFFALO GROVE SIGN ORDINANCE t WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove is a Home Rule Unit ; pursuant to the Illinois Constitution of 1970; and WHEREAS, HARRIS BANK BUFFALO GROVE, the Lessee of the � �� hereinafter legally described real property commonly known as 500 s Half Day Road, Buffalo Grove, Illinois, has requested a variation from Section 14.20.030 of the Buffalo Grove Sign Ordinance relative to the requirement of only allowing one wall sign on each face for an occupancy on a corner lot.
