IV. BUSINESS
A. Devonshire - Ground sign renewal on Route 83
Mr. Tom Millato, Partner of Devonshire Partnership, explained that
he has acquired a license to operate in the name of Devonshire Develop-
ment Corp. The business license has expired, but the new owners hope
to finish building the 8 remaining lots in the sub-division within the
next six months. At the present time, the phone number is inactive, but
it has not been re-assigned and will be the number Mr. Millato will be
using. A trailer will be located on Lot #1 at the intersection. Sales
information as well as construction will be conducted from the trailer.
Mr. Millato has purchased the Devonshire plans and will build the same
models. The Monotony Code will be followed.
Com. Cea commented that as a resident of Devonshire, he would like to see
the sign come down, but if the sub-division is to be finished, he would
issue the permit.
Ch. Hardt noted the condition of the sign and said it is in need of
re-painting. It is difficult to match colors and and make it look good.
Mr. Millato said he would have the sign restored, but he felt that to
repaint the whole sign would be too expensive for a short period of time.
He said he wanted the sign to reflect the sense of pride that will
characterize their business, and asked if the sign could be refurbished
before the Appearance Commission made a decision. He will submit more
photographs and the Commissioners can also take a look at the work.
Com. Gibbs made a motion to Table until May 12, 1983.

C. Quinlan and Tyson Realtors - Strathmore Square
Mr. John Doyle of Doyle Signs, Inc. and Mr. Bill Murphy of Quinlan
and Tyson presented the sign. The color of the Red was changed from
#2663 to #2157 and will be used only on the Q and T, as per their
logo. The remaining letters will be White with a Black overlay.
This treatment will make the letters appear as a White outline at
night, but will match their black letters during the daylight. The
sign will meet all criteria of the Sign Package, with the exception
of the colors and letter style.
Mr. Murphy recalled that he was told that the Sign Package allows for
variations of color and letters with the approval of the landlord.
Mr. Morelli has seen the sign.
Ch. Hardt noted that two variations are being requested. The letter
style would not present a problem, but the colors are different from
what Mr. Morelli insisted he wanted. White was to be the only color.
When the Commission discussed the possibility of problems with
Mr. Morelli , he expressed his desire that all signs be the same. He
said if the Appearance Commission approved of any changes which he
would allow, variations were acceptable. It will be necessary for
Mr. Morelli to come back and discuss the Sign Package again.
So far, Sears, Hyatt and H & R Block have had White letters; but
Mr. Doyle said that he has another sign coming in next meeting that
is requesting yellow letters.
It was stated that if the Appearance Commission denies any sign,
an appeal may be made to the Village Board.
After discussing the sign, including the reference that was made to
the Quinlan and Tyson sign at the time the Sign Package was developed,
when Mr. Morelli illuded to the possibility of different colors, a
suggestion was made by Com. Larsen to permit the letter style with
Red Q and Red T, but the rest of the letters be White with bronze trim
caps.
Mr. Murphy agreed to this compromise.

D. Barry's Bar-B-Q - John Munic
Mr. Munic described his plans for a restaurant at the former Poppin
Fresh location at 195 W. dundee Road. His request for a variation
from the ZBA has been approved and the ground sign will be located
5 feet from the ground and 4 feet from the lot line (5 feet from the
sidewalk) just West of the planted area. Mr. Munic is requesting
approval of this ground sign, additional landscaping, lighting and two
wall signs. He introduced Mr. Steve Sikora, Architect to present an
addition to the building:
ARCHITECTURE -
Mr. Sikora explained that there will be a small addition at the rear
of the building because a carry out window is needed. The addition will
be constructed to match the rest of the building. It will be mostly
thermo-pane glass and access will be along the existing sidewalk. The
public will enter the additon through the rear door. There will be a
new pad and the walk will be extended.
The enclosure will be on the South and East Elevations. The color of
stucco portion will be changed from peach to an off-white and the same
color will be used to repaint the whole lower portion to match.
Com. Cea made the following motion:
I move we approve the modification to the
Barry's Bar-B-Q building as presented, with
the stipulation that the lower portion of
the building will be painted an off white
to match the new panel in the addition.
All materials used will match the existing
construction materials.

LANDSCAPING -
Mr. William Blue, Whelan Nursery, described the proposed landscaping
to be added to the foundation of the building. Hearty yews, 32' off
center across the front because of the Northern exposure and Spirea
along the East side. On each side of the sign , diciduous shrubs that
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
April 28, 1983 - Page Three
Lights are proposed to illuminate the shrubbery and building.
Mr. Blue said that the lights will soften the effect of the founda-
tion. The shrubs will be about 2 to 21/2 feet, shaped but not rounded.
They will form a low hedge.
Shredded bark - 2 inches deep will be used as a mulch around the
plantings including the planting in the area of the sign.
The need for the lights was questioned and Mr. Munic expressed
his desire to have them because he is removing the existing pole
lights. The roof lights will remain. He feels that the because
the building is placed so far back, some soft lighting will add
to the effect of the building as well as direct people's attention
from Dundee Road. The lights will be soft. They would be placed
on a timer to co-incide with the hours that the restaurant will be
open.
Screening of the light fixtures was discussed, but because of their
location, the landscapper preferred to paint them green. They are
a very small fixture and very close to the ground and Mr. Blue said
he did not want to call attention to them because they will be located
in the center of the front area where no other plantings are located.
Com. Larsen asked if the existing shrubs along the walkway would stay.
Mr. Munic said they would have to remove enough of them to allow for
people to get through from the driveway to the carry out door.
Com. Larsen made the following motion:
I move we approve the Landscaping Plan for
Barry's Bar-B-Q and Brew, Inc. as submitted
with the stipulation that the proposed lights
on the front of the building not be exceed-
ingly bright; and that they be on a timer to
tied to the hours that the facility will be
open.
Shredded bark mulch will be used around the
plantings.

SIGNAGE
Mr. Bud Shane of Ahern Sign Company presented the color rendition
of the proposed ground sign and two wall signs. The face will be
Red Plastic with White and Yellow Letters, illuminated with flour-
escent tubing. The frame will be aluminum. Black was proposed for
the frame, but since the building is dark brown, the frame will be
dark brown to match the building.
Ch. Hardt asked if a variation had been granted that would allow the
sign to be located away from the corner of Dundee and Ellen. This was
not a part of the variation, only the 500 required distance between
ground signs.
Wall signs were requested for the East Wall facing Ellen Drive and
on the front wall facing North. Both are allowed by the Sign Code.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
April 28, 1983 - Page Four
Mr. Munic said he hoped that the sign on the Ellen side would
attract people to come in from that entrance on Ellen.
A "Carry Out" sign was requested to go over the new door into the
addition. Mr. Munic asked that this sign match the other wall signs
and say Barry's Bar-B-Q Carry Out. No beer to be sold, only soft
drinks will be sold at that window.
The ground sign will be on a timer. The pole will be painted to
match the can, preferably bronze because the trim of the building
is dark brown. This sign will also be on a timer to go off after
closing the restaurant.
The colors of all the signs will be: Background - Tomato Red
Barry's - White
Bar-B-Q & Brew - Chrome Yellow
There was some discussion of the proposed wall sign on the North
elevation next to the door. It was concluded that the Sign Code allows
for wall signage as well as the ground sign; Poppin Fresh had one,
the wall is a large blank space and would look better with a sign.
The sign is within the 20% allowed in the Sign Code, but there was some
disagreement about the measurement of the area in question.
Com. Larsen made the following motion:
I move we approve the 2 wall signs for
Barry's Bar-B-Q to be located on the North
Wall next to the entrance and on the West
elevation as indicated on the drawing.
Colors as stipulated. The electrical dis-
connects will be painted out. Frames to
be dark bronze to match the window mullions.
The "and" will be an ampersand.

12'6" as indicated on the drawing.
Colors to be: Barry's - White on Tomato Red
Background
Bar-B-Q & Brew - Chrome Yellow on
Tomato Red Backgound
Edge of the can to be bronze to match the
signs in the first motion. Lights to be on
a timer. Pole to be painted out bronze to
match the can.
Sign to be positioned as indicated in the
Zoning Board of Appeals variation.
Com. Cea seconded the motion.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
April , 1983 - Page Five
Com. Larsen commented that the height of the ground sign is lower than
necessary according to the Sign Code. He felt that the plexi-glas face
of the sign as presented will be in constant disrepair.
According to the discussion with the Zoning Board of Appeals, the sign
was granted the variation because of the agreement with Mr. Munic to
accept a lower ground sign (5 ft. high) and set back a distance of 4 ft
from the lot line (5 ft. from the sidewalk). Mr. Munic is satisfied and
said he wants to keep the tree that would block a higher sign at the
corner where the Poppin Fresh sign was located.
Ch. Hardt commented that the higher sign Poppin Fresh had, did not help
the business. The only question is whether the proposed material to be
used for the face is formitable enough and if not, Mr. Munic will want
keep it in good repair.
Roll Call Vote was taken: Aye - Larsen
Cea
Gibbs
Nay - Hardt
Motion Passed 3 to 1 .
Mr. Munic asked that a "Carry Out" sign be considered for the window.
The colors would be the same and the size would be compatible with the
space over the door.
The Commissioners asked to have a sketch submitted and suggested that
Mr. Munic and his sign man design one while the next item on the Agenda
is discussed. This was done. See discussion following F.P.C. (G)
E. St. Mary's Pharmacy - Wall Sign
Don Schmidt of North Shore Sign Co. and Mr. Mounir Marcos, Pharmacist
presented the sign. It will be a single face sign on the West elevation
of the Medical Center Building East of Buffalo Grove Road at 88 E. Dun-
dee Road. It will be on the mansard roof and meets the criteria of the
Sign Code. The color of the metal cabinet will be Dark Bronze instead
of Brilliant Blue as indicated. The letters will be Midnight Blue -
#460 - B. The store frontage is 30 ft. and the sign will be 3' x 10'
This is the only retail business in the building and there should not be
any other similiar signs requested.
The Commission discussed the copy on the sign. Because there is no real
reason to include Buffalo Grove on the sign and because without it the
size of St. Mary's could be larger, Mr. Marcos agreed to change the sign.
The two mortar and pestles will be retained to balance the sign and the
size of St. Mary's will be 10 inches - centered.
Construction was discussed and it was agreed to box in the ends of the
sign so that the braces will not be exposed. There will be no exposed
conduit. The electrical disconnect will be painted out to match the
background. There will be no trim caps on the letters. The edges will
be painted dark bronze. The ends of the cabinet will also be dark bronze.

and all structure to be painted out dark
bronze
2. Sign face to be White - Eliminate Buffalo Grove.
3. Letters to be Midnight Blue - #460-B.

F. Chernin's Shoes - Plaza Verde
Mr. Steve King of Arrow Sign Co. , Inca and Mr. Marvin Hymen of
Plaza Verde presented three signs. The first will be a temporary
sign on the pylon that used to say "Eagle." The letters will
be stenciled on the White vinyl that is covering the pylon now.
(This will be similiar to the temporary sign at Kohl 's when Eagle
went in there. ) The sign would read CHERNIN'S SHOES in Red with
"Name Brands For Less" in Black, all on the White background.
Com. Gibbs said he felt the "Name Brands For Less" was advertising.
The other Commissioners said they would not object to this on a tempor-
ary sign. Mr. Hymen said he felt it is important to tell people what
is coming and people may not be familiar with Chernin's Shoes.
The sign will be lighted. The vinyl will be transluscent and lights
will work well . Permanent signage is a different category re: advertising.
Com. Larsen made the following motion:
I move we approve the Chernin's Shoes
temporary sign as submitted. Copy to
be painted on a flexible face material
Com. Cea seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Aye - Cea

Hardt
Motion Passed 3 to-1 . Nay - Gibbs
Permanent Sign on Pylon. The face will be 3/16 Lexan. (Osco is Lexan)
The colors will be Red on White with Black - "Name Brands For Less. "
The CHERNIN'S SHOES with seraphs is the corporate logo style. Mr. Hymen
said they did not consider the Name Brands For Less to be advertising.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
April 28, 1983 - Page Seven
The corporate name is Harris Chernin, Inc. But they feel that Name Brands
For Less is not advertising. It is an important part of their business name,
it's on the stationery, bags, and incorporated in all their advertising.
Ch. Hardt, after discussion, said the AC could take a straw poll , or the
advertising verbage could be eliminated from the sign. Should the vote go
against the sign as presented an appeal can be made to the Village Board.
The Straw Poll was taken: NO - Cea, Gibbs and Hardt
OK - Larsen, based upon other signs (Eagle)
Mr. Hymen said they did not want to go to the Village Board and would remove
the objectionable phrase. The CHERNIN'S SHOES would be centered in 24' letters.
Com. Cea made a motion to approve the CHERNIN'S SHOES as revised, with the
deletion of "Name Brands For Less" and the copy centered.
Com. Larsen seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Aye - Gibbs

Wall Sign. Mr. Hymen presented the sign and said that the wall sign is the
most important. He called attention to the fact that Plaza Verde is a very
beautiful and he noted that Osco has Liquors and Prescriptions. The sign
is not too large and the portion "Name Brands For Less" is only 1/2 the size
of the name, Chernin's Shoes. He requested the Commission's agreement.
Ch. Hardt said that normally whatever is placed on the pylon should go on the
wall , but in this instance he would agree with Mr. Hymen and would accept this
sign as an exception.
The sign would be flush mounted with no projections. Sides of letters would be
bronze trim caps and the returns would be bronze. All letters to be lighted.
Com. Larsen made the following motion:
I move we approve the sign for
CHERNIN'S SHOES Names Brands For Less,
as proposed on the wall at Plaza Verde
Shopping Center.
Ch. Hardt seconded the motion. He also commented that the size of the sign
could be a lot larger. Looking at the total shopping center, this would not
be objectionable for an important store. Other stores have 12" and 18" illumin-
ated cans. This is very conservative in comparison, and will not have an
objectionable impact. The Eagle store had 7 foot letters and Osco has 5'6"
letters. The layout presented is the same as for Osco with Prescription
Drugs to the right and a little larger that Name Brands, etc.
Ch. Hardt suggested a straw poll before the vote, in order to determine the
Commissioners feelings. Commissioners Gibbs and Cea would not vote in favor
of the sign. Chernin's Shoes has no other nature to suggest.
Com. Larsen said he made the motion and would stand behind it. He has no pro-
blem with it. He recalled the Picture Framing Outlet sign that was approved.
Straw Poll : Aye - Hardt and Larsen Nay - Gibbs and Cea
The sign would be denied. Before a vote was taken Mr. Hymen presented an
alternate. It read CHERNIN'S SHOES in Red letters 5'6" high for a total of
363 square feet.

The Commission welcomed Chernin's Shoes to Buffalo Grove and commended
Mr. Hymen for his personal interest in the tenants. He also co-operates
with the Village by telling the tenants what the Code says, and helps
them as much as he can.
G. FPC Corp. at the Buffalo Grove Commerce Center
John R. Thebault, Pres. of Construction and Matt Miller of MTI and
Mike Kamins of FPC Corporation. Builder is McLennan & Thebault Inc.
Mr. Thebault presented the Architectural review. He described the
building. It will be an all masonary building. Face brick has been
selected and the building will have stacked bond brick treatment over
the windows. Towards the top, the brick step out so there is a lot of
of shadow and detail that does not show up on the plan submitted.
The front elevation is essentially running bond except over the windows.
Windows are insulated glass with dark bronze frame.
Brick is Brown called Chippewa #1 and Mortar will be standard grey.
Building is compatible with the other buildings in the Commerce Center.
Metal fascia around top of brick which will be bronze. It is pre-finished.
Two overhead doors will be painted to match the brick. The building is
meant to be mono-chromatic.
The site location as submitted, is depicted on a corner lot (#19 at
Eastwood Lane and Lexington Drive) but after the contract was drawn
and agreed upon. Lexington has a buyer who would like to purchase 5 lots
and the center lot is #19, so when the contract was delivered, it read
Lot #8 which is also on a corner. Lot #8 is precisely the same width, but
is 8 feet longer. This does not effect the elevation, except for the 8'
and because Lot #8 is also a corner, the plan only needs to be reversed.
The top of the building is not a parapet wall , and will not extend out
far from the roof. There will only be a roof-top compressor (and that may
go on the ground). It would be in the approximate center of the building.
Mr. Thebault stipulated that i.t could be painted out to match the roof.
The service doors will be painted to match the garage. The heating
and air-conditioning equipment will be inside in a special room.
Interior downspouts are tied into the basin.
Lights will be provided over the service doors. Metal Halide #175 as per
cut sheet, finished in bronze Lektrocote.
Sidewalks will meet all requirements.
Trash removal will necessitate a dumpster to dispose of mostly cardboard
boxes. A dumpster will be placed in parking area. Separate motion.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
April 28, 1983 - Page Nine
Because of the change in exposure, the windows facing North will have
clear glass, but the windows on the West will be tinted bronze.
Sills are cut-stone.
The bumper piers at the overhead door will be painted some color that
will make them visible. Piers will be some complimentary color in the
Brown family - such as lighter beige or tan.
Com. Gibbs made the following motion:
I move we approve the plans for the
FPC building as submitted, with the
details as follows:
1 . Building to be Brick - Chippewa #1 ; Regular Mortar
2. Windows on North to be clear with bronze frames
3. Windows on West to be tinted bronze w/ bronze frames
4. Cut stone sills
5. Aluminum fascia on top of building is pre-finished,
bronze color
6. Overhead doors will be painted out dark brown to
match the brick as close as possible.
7. All service doors also painted out to match brick.
8. Two concrete pipe bumpers will be painted out a
contrasting color, if that is the owner's desire;
or painted out to match the brick color.
9. Parking spaces to have concrete bumpers as denoted
on the drawing.

LIGHTING
The lighting fixtures will be bronze, located over each service door,
and the purpose is to light the area from the doors to the parking area.
The purpose is to light the area without offending neighbors. They are
made of shatter proof plastic and should not cause a vandalism problem.
There will be 2 fixtures on the East elevation. If there is a need for one
to be on the South, or if one is required by the Police Department, it will
be added but there is no access into the building from this area. There
will be a light inside the foyer that will illuminate the front door. The
Code requires that there be an outside light, so there will be a small ,
good fixture that will compliment the building.
Com. Gibbs made the following motion:
I move we approve 2 Perimaliter Series
lights on the East elevation, to be
located at a height so as to not exceed
the property line. There are to be lights
at each of the four doors that have access
to the building. #PVL-0175H-11X - Bronze,

LANDSCAPING
Mr. Thebault said that according to the Annexation Agreement, all
drainage must be handled by each individual lot owner. Mr. Saviano
added that Lexington approves all the Landscaping before it is sub-
mitted to the AC. The additional 8 ft. on the new lot will be paved.
The entire lot will be sodded. The Plan is well done, but could use
some treatment at the Northeast corner to screen that area. It was
agreed to add some additional landscaping.
There will not be anything on the bermed area except the Scotch Pines.
Com. Gibbs made the following motion:
I move we approve the Landscape Plan
for the FPC building as submitted,
with the addition of landscaping at
the Northeast corner similiar to the
other landscaping.

After discussing the best type of trash enclosure, it was decided that

be paved, a small island could be constructed. The trash enclosure will
be screened with a wood fence. There will be a landscaped island on each
side of the enclosure that is 18 inches wide.
Com. Gibbs made the following motion:
I move we accept the proposal of the Architect
for the Dumpster with two 18 inch landscaped

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Village President Verna Clayton has proposed a Commission attendance
policy that would require 75% attendance, with a consultation after
2 consecutive missed meetings.
This proposal would present a problem to Commissioners who have their
own businesses and sometimes have other meetings that conflict with AC
meetings.
Ch. Hardt noted that three Commissioner are scheduled for re-appointment,
Ed Larsen, K. Krippes and C. Zusel . Com. Zusel is planning to move to
Long Grove sometime this summer. Ch. Hardt will contact Kathy and Cindy
to see if they wish to be re-appointed.
Mr. Saviano said that Trammell Crow has requested a permanent entrance sign.
The need for the Sign Code review is long past due and Ch. Hardt would like
to schedule a workshop soon. Com. Larsen said he had spoken with Mr. Raysa
recently. Mr. Raysa wants to wait until two very important court cases have
been heard before review of the Sign Code is continued. These cases involve
the 1st and 14th Amendments and will help in setting limits.
