Ciolino responded that the doctors are signing leases and they do not expect the names to be changed very often. APPEARANCE COMMISSION August 12 . 1993 - Page Two 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 . APPEARANCE COMMISSION August 12 , 1993 - Page Three Com . Cea seconded the motion. Roil Call Vote : AYE - Weissman .
