Ch. Larsen suggested eliminating the tenant panels to further
reduce the cluttered appearance of the sign.
Com . Cea agreed that the sign is too cluttered .
Com . Trilling commented that drivers traveling on Buffalo
Grove Road would not have time to read the names .
Mr . Ciolino said they want to advertise the various doctors
names for people who are looking for them.
Referring to Dr . Steven Ciolino , Director . on the top portion
of the sign , Ch. Larsen said the Sign Code specifies signs
shall include only the Name and Nature . "Director" does not
meet the intent of the Code .
Mr . Ciolino explained that the business , Ciolino Chiropractic
Center , has been located in Wheeling for eight (8) years . The
name is being changed to the more generic TOUCH OF HEALTH
because they are getting a mix of different health care
services , but many people know the name Ciolino and they want
to keep it on the sign .
Ch. Larsen asked how the business license reads? If it reads :
Touch of Health . Dr . Steven Ciolino . Director , could be inter-
preted as the NAME of the business and it would be legal . It
is not necessary to have the NATURE identified .
Mr . Ciolino replied that the building is still under construc-
tion and they do not yet have a license . but he agreed to use
the name as suggested by Ch. Larsen.
Trustee Kahn said final determination would be made by Staff .
A similar sign is "Michael the Furrier ' s" on Dundee Road and
doctors are identified by practice .
Ch. Larsen suggested moving Dr . Ciolino ' s name down to the
tenant portion of the sign, but Mr . Ciolino objected because
they want to separate the Director from the other individual
tenants and they do not want to lose the 5th panel . Dr . Steven
Ciolino is a practicing chiropractor .
Com . Cea noted that the base of the sign should be landscaped .
Com . Trilling made a motion to recommend approval of the
"Touch of Health , Dr . Steven Ciolino , Director" sign as
submitted with the color changes from Dark Bronze to Medium
Bronze and from Green to Aged Copper on the sign: and from
Salmon to Medium Bronze on the base , with the elimination
of the A , B, C. D, F letters .
New drawings are to be submitted with accurate colors .
