D. Hardt. QUORUM PRESENT.

III . APPROVAL OF MINUTES
May 27, 1982 minutes were postponed until Com. Cea arrives.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
A. Chatham - Off-premise sign East of Buffalo Grove High School .
Because Chatham was tabled for further interpretation of the Sign Code
regarding the sign in question, no representative is present.
Mr. Saviano reported that according to p. 258-4; Sec. 14.28.030 A & B.
Non-Conforming Signs. Mr. Hruby and Mr. Raysa have determined that the
changes Chatham has made in the sign has made it more in conformance with
the Code.
Ch. Hardt concurred with this interpretation and noted that the sign is
actually an illegal sign. The problem is that the sign is a 3rd party,
off-premise sign in a residential zone which according to Sec. 14.20.080
p. 255-B. Therefore, the structure is legal and currently the copy is
Illegal because Chatham did not secure a permit. Should the sign copy be
changed in the future, it will keep its legal non-conforming status, be-
cause it was erected 15 years ago, before the Sign Code was developed.
The sign was reviewed and Com. Knaak made the following motion:
I move we approve the sign for Chatham,
located East of Buffalo Grove High School ,
in accordance with Sec. 14.28.030 - Non-conforming
signs. The copy change will make it more
in compliance with the requirements of the Code.
The sign is presently a Non-conforming structure
with illegal copy. It is approved with the
following stipulations:
1 . If prices are changed, the sign must
be brought back to the AC before making
the change.
2. The sign is approved for a period of
6 months.
Com. Krippes seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Aye - Zusel

Knaak
Motion Passed 3 to 1 . Nay - Hardt
Ch. Hardt noted that the Village should warn Chatham to come before
the Commission before erecting any more illegal signs. He believes
the Village should get tougher and make Chatham take their signs down.
They know the rules and break them continually.
B. HIDDEN LAKE - Com. Knaak led the discussion and reviewed the model area
signage that was approved May 27, 1982.
Mr. Jerry Pfeffer and Mr. Jeff Hymen presented Sign designated A.
They requested two signs, 71' x 4 ' to be located at the entryway of the
model area. Because of existing trees the exact location has not been
determined. They will be angled so that they are seen from the road.
These signs are temporary model area (trailer) signage. They are sand-
blasted signs. Colors the same as presented at the last meeting:
White on Blue, with green leaves and burgandy berries. The signs will
have the Logo only. The wood fencing will be Cocoa and Butternut and
was approved previously.
(Com. Cea arrived.)
Com. Krippes made the following motion:
I move we approve the Hidden Lake Village
entry signs as presented:
White on Blue Background with Green leaves
and Burgandy berries on a Cocoa cedar fence.
Com. Cea seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Aye - Zusel.

Hidden Lake Village continued:
Off-Premise sign on Busch Road - South West corner.
Size - 8 ft. by 15 ft. (120 sq. ft. ) - Sign as depicted - SLOW TURN RT. -LFT.
Mr. Hymen presented a color rendition of the sign and mentioned that after
the sign on Rt. 83 (not in B.G. ) was erected, they have decided to change
the background to White. An arrow will indicate turn and will be Black
or Burgandy. The Burgandy is Pantone 353,the same as the berries and is
preferred for visability. This sign is very much needed because of the
distance to Hidden Lake Village. Hidden Lake will own the sign and will
maintain it.
Com. Knaak repeated his concern with the number of colors - now six.
Ch. Hardt noted that the sign is allowed under Sec. 14.20.080 and will be
allowed for a period of six months, with renewal approved by the AC.
The Commission discussed the color of the arrow and concluded that the
Black arrow was preferable.
Com. Knaak made the following motion:
I move we accept the Hidden Lake - Off Premise
Sign to be located at corner of Busch and Weiland
Rds. as indicated on the Blueprint.
Sign to read: HIDDEN LAKE VILLAGE
SPACIOUS
CONDOMINIUM
RESIDENCES
IN BUFFALO GROVE
BLACK ARROW TURN RIGHT (or LEFT)
Size - 8 ft. by 15 ft. - Double Face
According to Sec. 14.20.080 of the Sign Code
which pertains to renewal and maintenance.
Com. Cea seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Aye - Zusel

Cea
Motion Passed 4 to 1 . Nay - Hardt
On Site Signs - At either end of the property on Busch Road, 1 ,500 ft. apart.
Signs designated C will be at the entrance of the model area. The temporary
sign just approved will be 800 feet from the sign at the West end of the site.
These signs fall under Sec. 14.32.010 - Special Signs; it was determined
that two signs would be allowed. Each must have a permit.
The purpose of these signs is to slow people down and alert them so they know
the development is there.
Chairman Hardt commented that the copy advertising Spacious Condos etc. is
advertising and not necessary for identification of Hidden Lake Village.
Mr. Hymen agreed to delete the advertising portion.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
June 10, 1982 - Page Three
The location of the signs was discussed. Under the Code, Entry sign -"A"
would be too close to the sign proposed at the East side of the property.
Mr. Hymen explained that when "A" is constructed, the sign on the West pro-
perty line would be needed. Prior to that time, the temporary sales area
will be located more to the West. The trailer is much less a monument on
an open road. The Model Complex when completed will be lighted and the sign
on the East will not be needed. He agreed to take the East one down then.
The Engineering Department has required that the area - Phase 1 - must be
cleaned out.
The background of the sign will be White, the Hidden Lake Village Logo in
the colors designated. The signs will be single face and the backs will be
stained dark brown.
Com. Knaak made the following motion:
I move we approve the Billboard signs - On Site
be approved as submitted by Hidden Lake Village,
with the following stipulations:
Two signs at the East and West property lines
will be erected as indicated on the blueprint; to remain
during the time that the temporary sales area is open.
When the "C" Temporary sign is removed, and the "A"
model entry sign is erected; the East property line
sign will be removed.
Com. Cea seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Aye - Zusel

Temporary Model Area - Sales Trailer
Signs C - D - E - F and G have been approved. The trailer will be behind
a fence/wall which will not be attached. It will be rough sawn cedar with
Cocoa lettering on a Butternut background. Letters will be painted on a
board and attached to the fence. The Logo will be on the Right side with
with Spacious Condominium Residences in Buffalo Grove will be on the Left.
Ch. Hardt expressed the opinion that it is unnecessary to have the wording
describing Spacious Condos etc. because people are already at the sales
area. He felt that Hidden Lake Village in Brown on the Butternut color
would identify the project sufficiently. There is only one way to come in.
Mr. Hyman stated that time is a factor and they have only 32 months to
create an image. They want all their advertising to be the same and to
present a strong image, they must have graphic reinforcement of the market-
ing phrase Spacious Condos etc. They are proud of their product.
Com. Knaak made the following motion:
I move we accept signage for the temporary
sales area on the Trailer with the HLV Logo
on the right side and on the left side:
Spacious Condominium Residences in Buffalo Grove;
as depicted in the Billboard - Off Sign (On-Site).
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
June 10, 1982 - Page Four
The sign will be painted on a rough sawn cedar board, painted to match the
background of the fence and attached it horizontally to the vertical board.

Motion defeated 4 to 1 . Hardt
Ch. Hardt stated the reason for his vote is too much copy and the method
of application. He would approve Hidden Lake Village Condominiums in
individual letters Brown on the Butternut background.
Mr. Pfeffer: I 'll be very candid. I want to know why? On what basis,
according to Code, are you rejecting it? Why do you just want us to use
the Logo on the thing?
Ch. Hardt: I don't think it is aesthetically pleasing and doesn't blend
in with all the other signs.
Mr. Pfeffer: On what basis do you edit copy? According to the Codes of
this Village, on what basis are you editing my copy? I already changed my
copy once in accordance with what this Commission wanted. I 'm two weeks
later than I needed to be in the market. On what basis besides your per-
sonal opinion, are you editing my copy?
Ch. Hardt: That's probably it. My personal opinion is the reason I voted
"NO"
Mr. Pfeffer: Is the tape recorder going now?
Ch. Hardt: The tape recorded can go. Right. My recommendation is that
'that' should not be allowed. That's my recommendation to the Village
Board.
Mr. Hymen: Did we have a vote on this?
Ch. Hardt: Yes, it was rejected 4 to 1 . You have the right of appeal to
the Village Board. (Two weeks. )
NO!
Mr. Hymen:/ We're going to the market place. If I wait another two weeks
and I open up in August, I don't need this project this year. ?
We'll be happy to negotiate with you, but
Ch. Hardt: Fine. You said, "This is what you want. " I told you what I
thought a compromise would be.
Mr. Pfeffer: But that was your personal opinion.
Com. Zusel : I think, my own personal opinion is that when you come up to
the trailer, you see the Hidden Lake Village Logo and the colors and every-
thing. I think that's going to be fine. That's going to bring them in.
They know you're there. They will follow your signs all the way through.
Mr. Hymen: You know what our thinking was? Besides having the consistency
of a message, I object to this big blank wall . If this was a single family
home, we'd be talking about putting windows in it, or something. As it is
laid out it pleases me aesthetically. I don't want a big blank wall on a
trailer 8' x 40' - blank space. Do you like that?
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
June 10, 1982 - Page Five
Com. Knaak: Let me say something. (end of tape 2) You say, I don't like
the blank wall. You are the guys back there saying, Let's go. And that's
the way I feel about it. . You got voted down. Your right of appeal is to
the Village Board.
Mr . Hymen: The Village Board doesn't meet until the 21st.
Com. Knaak: That's not my problem then.
Mr. Pfeffer(?) : It's my problem. What can we do? (Not sure.)
Com. Knaak: OK then let's go through the rest of the Agenda. You guys
come up with a proposal . At the end of the meeting tonight, I would be
more than happy to listen to it. To do it right now, we've got:
Orchard Sports; Trammel Crow; a full review, just like we went through
with you for Suffield Place; then we have First Federal . Then we'll come
back to you. That's my recommendation to you.
Mr. Hymen: I have a way that we can tie this thing up. I do need to get
in the market place. I would like a motion made to approve the trailer as
presented without the wording. And I 'll come back with the wording at a
later date.
Mr. Pfeffer: Either that, or if we choose to disagree then let us go to
the Village Board and at least let us go to the Village Board with some-
thing that allows us to function. If we choose to take issue with you,
then we'll take issue with you there. But at least we can put the trailer
up, and we can put something on the trailer that's acceptable to this board
so that we can function.
Ch. Hardt; That's not the question. It's only signage. You can put the
trailer up, we don't have any objection to that.
Com. Knaak: In my opinion, and I'll give you about one more minute of my
ideas and then I 'm either going to recommend that we make a motion to get
you back on the bottom end of this thing, or do something else. You guys
might consider taking down some of your other signs and then maybe the mem-
bers of the Board you might, you might, you might consider it. If
you don't want to consider it, that's your perrogative. Then go to the
Village Board two weeks from now. That's the choice you make, not us.
There's a lot of options here. The only options you are considering, are
the options you want to consider.
Ch. Hardt: Dana - - OK - - Dana.
Mr. Pfeffer: I would be very content if you would approve anything. Approve
what you want and I would be very happy to up that issue with that, but I 've
got to have something that I can put on the trailer
Com. Knaak: You said you wanted to negotiate. I gave you a point to
negotiate on. Considerate taking some of your other signs down. It's not
acceptable. I won't negotiate on that.
Mr. Pfeffer: On what basis, the only basis you have is your personal
opinions.
Com.Knaak: I voted for you, don't forget. I 'm trying to help you.
Mr. Pfeffer: I understand that, but you are standing here dictating to us

with no standards. 2
Ch. Hardt: (Knocked for order. ) Time.
Mr. Hymen: Can I ask the Board to make a motion to approve the graphics
of the trailer.
Ch. Hardt: That's not required.
Mr. Hymen: Not required?
Ch. Hardt: Nope - if the temporary model area has been approved. The only
thing we haven't approved, is the signage for the trailer, and that was
voted down tonight. If you want to change your mind or come up with an
alternative; which we gave you a chance to do and you said "No this is
what we want" so we voted on it. You lost. We told you your next steps
if you so choose, or it's your option - - you can take your turn after
these other people, with an alternate solution that will get you signage,
prior to two weeks.
Mr. Hymen: The alternative solution that I think would be acceptable,
to all parties here, is to have the graphics of the trailer voted upon
with the deletion of the copy as I presented to you.
Ch. Hardt: If that's part of the trailer; and the trailer has been approved,
has it?
Com. Knaak: All that was approved was the fence, that's it, nothing on it.
Ch. Hardt: Then the graphics, which was what I thought we were voting on,
is what we voted down 4 to 1 . You can put your trailer up and you can put
your fence up, that's already been approved. What we didn't approve was
the signage for the trailer. OK? and if you want to come up with an alter-
native message, we'll be happy to hear it. OK
Com. Zusel : Well , Don. . . .didn't they come up with an alternative? I
thought that (??) said that he wanted Hidden Lake Village without
the wording (on the left, assumed) - Right?
Mr. Hymen: What I would like a motion is - the trailer without the wording.
If what you are objecting to is this (indicated left side) , we'll delete it,
for the purpose of this meeting. The Logo stays. We'll delete it. I want
to know that I can put a trailer up there next week as represented here,
Ch. Hardt: OK - in the interest of time, we'll entertain a motion, right
now and then that's it for the approval of that wall sign, deleting the
words Spacious Condominium Residences in Buffalo Grove- having only the
Hidden Lake Village Logo on the Right side of the fence.
Ch. Knaak: So Move. Com. Zusel : Second it. Roll Call Vote: Aye - Zusel
Knaak
Hardt
Nay - Cea

Ch. Hardt: You can put up that, if you - OK now, this supercedes the
other motion. There's no appeal .
Mr. Hymen: . That's true, there's no appeal . We will have to come before
this Commission at a future time . . . APPEARANCE COMMISSION

Ch. Hardt: , . .if you want additional copy. Right. All set.
Regarding the trash recepticles, Mr. Pfeffer stated they don't want trash
recepticles because they want to deal with the project as single family houses.
Residents will keep their garbage until garbage day, they it will be moved to
the curb in plastic bags for pick-up.
V. NEW BUSINESS
A. Orchard Sports - Grove Court Shopping Center
Mr. John Doyer presented the copy SPORTS and noted that the color Orange
will be Brown Letters with Bronze Returns. Background Ivory. It will be
the same as the other signage at the center. An internally lit can as per
the sign package.
At the present time, the Look 'n Hear sign covers four store fronts and
they have moved into the two southern end stores. They have been advised
to remove their sign. Because they also have identification on the pylon,
they will be limited to a sign equal to 20% of their new frontage.
Mr. Doyer explained that the name Orchard Sports is derived from their old
location at the Orchard Shopping Center and Orchard is not inportant.
When he understood that the Sign Code requires use of the business name,
he agreed to add ORCHARD above SPORTS on two lines. Same size letters.
Com.Knaak made the following motion:
I move we approve the sign requested by
ORCHARD SPORTS as represented by the hand
drawing. Colors: #2418 - Brown and #2146 - Ivory;
Romanhaus colors.

B. Trammel Crow Company - Temporary Sign
Mr. Tim Beechick and Mr. John Johnson presented the sign. It will be
located at the North East corner of Lake/Cook Road and Arlington Hts. Rd.
They are devloping a business park with 2-3 story office buildings along
with a single story garden office building in Phase 1 .
Mr. Beechick proposed two signs to alert people that the development is
being started, and to indicate that office space available. The sign is
two-tone Blue with White Letters - the standard Logo colors and type.
The signs would be 8' x 15' - both doublefaced and located on their own
parcel . They do not own the corner. There will be no lights. No back braces.
The Commission discussed Sec. 14.32.020 (p. 258 - 6. and specified the
time limitations. A stipulation was noted that when permanent signs are
erected, these temporary signs would come down.
Mr. Beechick noted that they hope to start construction in August, and
be open in the spring of 1983.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
June 10, 1982 - Page Eight
Because there is the possibility of space being available for years after
the temporary construction signs are put up, the Commission prefers having
the signs reviewed every six months. According to the Code, they can have
`./ extensions issued by the Village Administrator provided the sign is kept in
good repair.
The Commission will stipulate that if any changes are made that they come
in for approval and that the changes are paint on with the same colors, etc.
Com. Cea made a motion to approve 2 signs presented by
Trammal Crow Company for the
Buffalo Grove Business Park
as per Sign Code Sec. 14.32.020
Com. Krippes seconded the motion.
Com. Knaak stated he is opposed to this action. He felt the Codes should
be used to the best advantage of the petitioner and people of the Village.
This would not be in the best interest of the people of the Village. With
no time limitation - the petitioner would be happy but the Village would be
unhappy.
Ch. Hardt noted it is a matter of interpretation and the Code should be
revised. But for now, it must be followed as it is written.
Roll Call Vote: Aye - Zusel

Hardt
Nay - Knaak
Motion passed 4 to 1 .

LIGHTING OF MODEL AREA - There will be no floodlights in the model area.
SALES TRAILE!IR AREA - The sales trailer is existing at Stratford. It
will be used as an office during construction of the Model Area. Three sides
are rough sawn cedar and the rear abuts a wooded area. Size - 122 x 60 ft.
It will be located on Lot 1, but there is an existing house on Lot 31 just
ast of the trailer.
A question arose as to what Ordianances have to be applied, because people
may complain about parking, etc. The Building Department will get an inter-
pretation. The location was changed after the preliminary plans were sub-
mitted to the Bldg. apt. Mr. 'tomato said they would like to leave the
trailer at that location to be used as a Preview Home Center. It is furnished
and a very attractive trailer. The cost factor is important because it is
easier to move the trailer than to furnish a model. All electrical connections
will be underground. The rear will be sodded and the whole lot is to be land-
scaped. The parking lot will be "7 crushed gravel.
Ch. Hardt expressed objection to a gravel parking lot next to the residence.
Mr. Damato said if that became a problem, the parking lot could be blacktopped.
However, they are seeking to create a rustic appearance, the gravel could be
used as an asphalt base if necessary.

Ch. Hardt noted that there may be a Zoning Problem with the location of the
proposed trailer, and a motion would be contingent to a ruling by Yr. Frank
Hruby, Director of Building and Zoning. With the parking area next door to
a residence, even with the screening shown, there may be a problem.
Com. Knaak made the following motion:
I make a motion to approve the Sales Area with Landscaping;
