After waiting 'til 8:15 P.M. the meeting was Cancelled. A Special Meeting
will be held on Thursday, Nov. 18, 1982.
To expedite the special meeting and to answer any questioners the petitioners
had, an informal meeting was held:
1. NAPA - Strathmore Shopping Center
The sign meeting the criteria for the sign package,
except for the color. Red is not included. The
petitioner agreed to change the color to Orange - #2119.
Upon presentation of a letter from Mr. Conrardy, a
permit will be issued by the Administrators.
2. JEWEL/OSCO - Wall Signs
As per Sign Code, after a variation is granted, the
Appearance Commission must approve signage. A letter
from Ken Tucker & Associates has been written. It
will be submitted at the Special Meeting 11/18/82.
3. Artists' Frame Service
Mr. Jay Goltz, owner, was present and indicated that
he has now registered his business as Artists' Frame
Service, Factory Outlet - Picture Framing. The signs
presented now meet the criteria of the Sign Code.
Mr. Bob Pavetto owner of the Buffalo Court Shopping
Center, was present and approved the sign presented for
the brick fascia. He also requested signage for the
State Farm Insurance Agency on the brick fascia to
balance the appearance of the Artists ' sign. He was
asked to develop a Sign Package for the Center.
Mr. Goltz expressed concern about the having to wait
to order his signs because he is planning an advertising
campaign and has ordered a special mailing, as well
radio announcements, using the new name.
He was advised that ordering any signs to be fabricated
before being given approval , would be risky; but if he
did so - it would be his responsibility.
3. VILLAGE PLAZA - 400 W. Dundee Road
Mr. James Beale was present. He explained that the
reason the center is seeking additional signage was
because tenants have requested a reader board.
Customers have not been able to locate the stores.
An alternate to a reader board, would be "400" or
the address under the Plaza Verde sign in the space
that was formerly "Rosen & Shane."
Mr. Beale noted that people confuse Village Plaza
with Plaza Verde. There is no longer a major
tenant. There is space for 16 stores, but not
that many would be on the reader board.
Reader boards are not easily read, nor attractive.
A suggestion was made to make a changeable copy
type of reader board and allow each tenant an
equal number of days per month on the board.
Also, the trees in front of the Sign prevent people
from seeing it. They could be moved and replaced
with something lower. Landscaping to be approved.
Another suggestion was to mark the entrances with
lighted signs, with the address 400 W. Dundee Rd.
Directional signs up to 12 square feet are allowed
without AC approval .
4. Striker Lanes
The owner was present but left as soon as the meeting
was cancelled.
The informal meeting ended at 8:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
