Larsen attended the meeting. Com. Gibbs gave a short report covering the sections of the code that were discussed. Sec. 14.28.030 - Non-conforming signs. The possibility of an amorti- zation schedule that would require all signs to be brought into con- formance was discussed. The ZBA and the Village Board agree this would be good if it can be done fairly and legally. Sec. 14.44 was discussed. The Variation Procedure. Should the AC review signs before the ZBA considers variations? To do so would probably save time. Sec. 14.32.020 - Special Signs: For sale lease or development. When can these signs be removed? Time limitation, etc. Sec. 14.20.050 - M-1 and M-P should be eliminated. Sec. 14.20.160 - Embellishments. AC can approve Logos. Section 14.40.080 - Banners for special events should be clarified. Com. Larsen noted that it seemed apparent to him the ZBA intends to take any recommendations directly to the Village Board. If the AC wants to make any suggestions, it should be done soon. Mr. Raysa and Mr. Hruby are to draft changes. ` , Mr. Larsen is against amortization to bring non-conforming signs into conformance. He also feels the section that covers legal non-conforming signs is OK as it is written. APPEARANCE COMMISSION Sept. 23, 1982 - Page Three Ch. Hardt stated his preference for lower signs and the need to avoid the proliferation of signage. He asked that the Appearance Commissioners L./ review the Sign Ordinance and make note of any changes needed. This should be done as soon as possible. The ZBA plans to discuss the Sign Ordinance at the October 19, 1982 meeting. The AC and the ZBA should work together. VI. ADJOURNMENT Com. Gibbs made a motion to adjourn. Com.

Temporary Signage for Mall during construction time. Mr. Frank Morelli , of Bernard Katz and Co. 1 . H & R Block and Hyatt Legal Services signs were presented. Mr. Lister- mann requested they be placed on the large Mall sign during construction. They will be Black letters on White background. Mr. Morelli explained the remodeling process. Construction is scheduled to start immediately and they hope to have the stores opened by Christ- mas. Starting at the West side of the Mall , they will move to the East, necessitating temporary signage for all the tenants. The whole front should be completed by February and permanent signage erected by then. After the building is completed, the large sign will be replaced by the approved sign; but signage is needed during construction. Store front signs will be put up all at once after the whole fascia is complete. Mr. Morelli said a permit for a period of 6 months would be sufficient. He stipulated that no advertising would be placed on the temporary signs. They would be used for identification and directional purposes. The Commissioners discussed the request and there were no unanswered questions. The temporary signage will be approved under Section 14.36.010 - of exempt signs. 1. H & R Block - Insert in Pylon Com.

Chairman Hardt asked what would happen to the many different signs that are now located on the front of the building. Mr. Morelli said they would be taken down within the next 3 weeks and temporary signs used until the front is completed next spring. Chairman Hardt asked that uniformity in the temporary signage where possible. He suggested they be the same size with some uniformity in color. Preferably, directions should not appear on the ID signage. Mr. Morelli said he could not stipulate location or exact signage that will be necessary, but he agreed to limit the size to 4' x 6' and the. colors White Background with Blue lettering. He asked for some flexi- bility in placement and type of directional signs. No lights. The can signs that exist now will not be put back up. All the new signs will conform with the sign package approved by the Commission. Com. Gibbs made the following motion: I move we approve the temporary signs as presented by H & R. Block and Hyatt Legal Services at the Strathmore Square. Size to be 4' x 6' with White Background. Letters to be Blue; Time limit to be 6 months or the petitioners will return to the Appearance Commission.

Roll Call Vote: Aye - Zusel Krippes Gibbs Hardt Nay - Larsen Motion Passed 4 to 1 . Ch. Hardt noted that the signage is for the purpose of directing people into the businesses. Some flexibility will be allowed. If more signage is needed, Mr. Morelli can call Mr. Saviano before placement. Mr. Morelli agreed and said he felt the Commission has given him enough signage to achieve his purposes. APPEARANCE COMMISSION Thurs. , Oct. 14, 1982 Page Three B. Jewel/Osco - Fascia Signage Tim Schwartz, Real Estate Rep. for Jewel : Jay Jeske, Construction Engineer and Mr. Thomas Mc Donald, Ken Tucker Mr. Schwartz described the purpose of their presentation. Because two variations will be needed by Jewel in order to erect the signage they desire, and because approval of the Appearance Commission will be needed also, the signs are being presented to the AC first to save time. Variations needed are: 1 ) Sec. 14.20.030 C - Total of 5 signs 2) Sec. 14.20.090 A - Height of J/0 signs. Mr. Jeske presented a drawing of the building with the signage depicted. First the height of the words Jewel/Osco exceeds the Ordinance limits by 7 inches and the total height requested is 8 ft. 7" - the height of the Prototype and all the patterns are made in this one size. Also a variation is needed for the words Drug-Food over both entrances and the word Liquor, a total of 5 additional signs plus the JEWEL/OSCO. Mr. Jeske explained that the Jewel/Osco companies are developing combin- ation stores. They are knocking out the common walls and opening up the stores so that all purchases can be made through the same check-out lines. When this measure was taken some time ago, extensive research and testing was done. Customers still perceive the stores as two, not one; but with the new combination stores, customers were still being confused because they did not realize they could go into either door. Some of the Osco Drug stores do not sell liquor, so the sign Liquor is being requested as identification on the Osco side. There is a separate cash register for Liquor. Two renderings were distributed, but Mr. Jeske explained that "B" is a rendering of what the Sign Code actually allows: JEWEL FOODS/ OSCO DRUGS. "A" shows JEWEL/OSCO with the Drug,Food and Liquor signs. Even though there is a total of 5 extra signs, the square footage is much less. They prefer rendering "A" which is the one being used on a total of 90 conversions in the Chicago area. All identification is being changed. The letters are made of extruded aluminium, individual letters, internal- ly illuminated. Colors are all the same, J/O Orange. The total length of the building is 282 feet 6 inches. Com. Gibbs suggested a elimination of Drug from the Food side of the store; elimination of Food from the Drug side of the store and lowering of the Liquor sign to the same plane on the Osco side of the store. Mr. Schwartz said this would defeat the purpose of identifying the business as a double store. Not a food store on one side and a drug store on the other. Com. Krippes said she had gone into one of the new stores to purchase only baby asprin, and because she entered the wrong side, time was wasted. She had parked on the wrong side and had to walk through the store twice. Mr. Schwartz said their customer research studies would disagree with the opinion and reports indicate that customers are generally pleased. APPEARANCE COMMISSION Thurs. , Oct. 18, 1982 - Page Four The lights would be on a timer and would probably go off 1/2 hour after closing. Com. Larsen felt that the requested signage would break up the massive storefront. Elimination of the large Food/Drug letters, the amount of signage is reduced. Mr. Larsen objected to the Liquor sign, for a per- sonal reason. After discussing the presentation, Ch. Hardt took a straw poll with regard to the height of JEWEL/OCSO - 8 foot 7 inch sign. Even though Plan B is not actually being presented as an possibility, Ch. Hardt felt the ZBA would want to know that it is not a vaible alternate to Plan A. The Commission was in agreement that the 7 additional inches are not objectionable. (Gibbs, Zusel , Krippes, Larsen and Hardt) Ch. Hardt stated the following recommendation to the Zoning Board of Appeals: "It is the recommendation of the Appearance Commission to the Zoning Board of Appeals that there is no problem with the 72" requested by Jewel/Osco for the main portion of the Jewel/Osco sign. It is the recommendation of the Appearance Commission to grant the variation as requested." A second straw poll was taken with reference to the 2nd request for 2 Drug-Food signs and 1 Liquor sign; in addition to the JEWEL/OSCO sign. The Appearance Commission has been directed to look at the aesthetic value of this signage and how it compares with the Sign Code. The ZBA deals more with the hardship values with regard to requests. The Appearance Commission's recommendation will be based on the aesthetics and the effect on the surrounding area as well as the effect the signs will have on the entire development. Com. Larsen: Food and Drug are within the Name and Nature of the Business. Putting them above both entrances is not a problem. Liquor is more than just a generic term, but it is within the category. He is not in favor of the Liquor sign. He suggested the words Drug/Food be flip-flopped to identify which entrance is which. Com. Zusel : Food over the food side and the Drug over the drug side. Liquor sign wherever they choose. *Later changed her opinion to No Liquor sign. Com. Gibbs: Food over the food door and Drug over the drug store, Liquor brought down on the same line.*Changed - No Liquor. Com. Krippes: Food over the Jewel side; Osco over the Drug entrance; and eliminate the Liquor sign. Ch. Hardt: Stated the Commission must be consistent with the permits it has granted to the other businesses that will be in competition with Jewel/Osco. Liquor was not allowed on \./ Walgreens or Mark Drugs. He complimented the builders on the project and noted that he felt people know Jewel/ Osco; therefore the words Food and Drugs are synonymous wood Jewel and Osco. He felt they would pick up some new customers, but in this area the name is known. *Changes were-made after DH's APPEARANCE COMMISSION statement. Oct. 14, 1982 - Page Five Ch. Hardt said the recommendation to the ZBA would be mixed saying that: a.- 2 Commissioners prefer only Jewel/Osco identification; No Drug - Food or Liquor signs. b. 2 Commissioners prefer Food over the food store entrance only and Drug over the drug store entrance. No Liquor. c. 1 Commissioner favors both Drug/Food over each entrance; but delete Liquor. Com. Larsen also noted that under canopy signs would be allowed. Mr. Jeske noted that not all Osco stores have a Pharmacy and the word Drug identifies this service. Ch. Hardt noted that the recommendation to the ZBA expresses the aesthetic quality of the signage. The ZBA determines the approval of variation on the basis of hardship. He suggested that a motion be made approving the appearance of the signage with reference to the height of Jewel/Osco 8' 71/2" portion of the sign, contingent on ZBA approval . This portion of the sign would not have to come back to the Appearance Commission at a later, and the sign could be ordered. If the ZBA grants approval of a variation on the Drug-Food-Liquor, , then the signs will have to come back to the Appearance Commission for approval . Mr. Schwartz rejected this suggestion, saying they are going for a whole package C. Commerce Center — Lots 11 and 12, Building 1 : Wes-Tech.
