connect will be on the side of the can painted out black.

it should be deleted. Mr. Saviano will check into this.

All painting to be on the interior of the sign;
The electrical cut-off to be on the side, painted out
black to match the can; and with the stipulation:

b) Buffalo Grove National Bank
Landscaping - Parking Lot and Buffer Zone
Irving Capitel of Batler and Capitel, Representative.
Com. Kirby excused herself from the hearing because
she holds a minor interest in the bank.
Mr. Capitel gave an explanation of the planned
landscaping along the East side of property next
to the Fire Department; and the additional parking
lot area.
As per Village Board request, planting of_ 100 shrubs;
seventeen and one/half foot dedicated easement, for
ingress and egress will be as shown on the plan. Also
the new addition of three drive-in stalls and addition-
al parking area with complete landscaping.
Ch. Hardt said he had attended the Board meeting and
the bushes were a compromise because the Board wanted
curb and gutters around the drives, but the Bank re-
jected this. Apparently the original drawings show-
ed what appeared to be curbing but this was never the
architect ' s intent; nor is curbing required by
the Zoning Ordinance or the Building Code. The Board
asked for a suitable low screen to prevent car lights
from shining into the Fire Department or any future
building the Village might wish to put on their pro-
perty behind the Fire Station.
Since a Forester' s Report has not been submitted,
the motion will include their approval.
The Imperial Honeylocust will be 3" diameter. The
median will contain bard with steel edging around
edge and there are concrete car bumpers, in the new
parking area. The Bank Personnel parking sign is
a directional sign and there is no need to approve.
Com. Holland made the following motion:
I move we accept the Landscaping Plan submitted
by the Buffalo Grove National Bank with the
following stipulations:
a) The planted strip beginning at the East
end of the property from a point 165'
from Dundee Road edge of the property
contain the plantings as designated;
b) The Imperial Honeyloc ast trees be 3"
caliper, balled and burlapped, all 3;
c) Median in the expanded parking lot area
be barked with steel edging;
