Mr. Heinrich described the variation request for the signs at Link Crossing. Additionally, he described the size of the signs and how long they would be up as well as the value the signs have to the development. He noted that the signs he is requesting for Link Crossing are the same he has used in other communities. Com. Moodhe asked if it would take 5 years to sell these homes. Mr. Heinrich said that it would be closer to 3 years, however, there are a lot of moving parts including the weather which has already set them back. 3.B.1 Packet Pg. 24 Mi n u t e s A c c e p t a n c e : M i n u t e s o f N o v 2 0 , 2 0 1 9 7 : 3 0 P M ( A p p r o v a l o f M i n u t e s ) 11/20/2019 Com. Moodhe asked to review sign C. Mr. Heinrich noted that sign C would be on the sales trailer and once the sales trailer was gone, hopefully by May, sign C would be removed and not repurposed. Com. Moodhe asked to review sign N and asked why it needed to be so large. Mr. Heinrich talked about the ability to see the sign from a far on the home given its location which is why it needs to be so large. Com. Moodhe asked if sign N would be attached to the building. Mr. Heinrich said yes, it will be attached to the building similar to the other communities and would be replaced on an as needed basis. Com. Moodhe asked if he could make sign N any smaller. Mr. Heinrich said yes, he could modify the size if he needed to. Com. Moodhe ask if he would be willing to do something like that. Mr. Heinrich said yes. Com. Worlikar ask how the signs would be secured. Mr. Heinrich went over how the signs would be secured to the structure and noted that they would be replaced as needed. Com. Cohn asked which criteria Mr. Heinrich wanted the signs to fit under. Mr. Heinrich said that he would like to fit criteria A, but would be amenable to the criteria under B in the Village sign code. Com. Cohn asked the petition to go over the hardship for the variation request with the signs fitting village code. Mr. Heinrich said the signage and the size of the signage is key. It is helpful to share information and provides safety to those looking for where they need to go rather than getting lost. Com. Cohn asked what makes these sign particularly in good taste and in good design. Mr. Heinrich said they are legible and a baby blue, a tasteful color that most people seem to enjoy. They also make sure that their signs are well maintained and provide a welcoming feel. Com. Cohn asked about the landscape plan. Mr. Heinrich said signs will be up before the landscape is up. If they need to move a sign to accommodate a sign, they will move the sign and not change the landscape plan. Com. Cohn asked why this was not brought to the Committee with the rest of the project. Mr. Heinrich said that it should have been with the rest of the project. Deputy Village Manager Stilling noted that the project was going through a lot of changes and the model area had not been identified thus the sign area was unknown. Mr. Stilling added that it is not uncommon for a development like this one to have a lot of signs. However, moving forward on other projects, staff will work to incorporate it into the next annexation agreement. 3.B.1 Packet Pg. 25 Mi n u t e s A c c e p t a n c e : M i n u t e s o f N o v 2 0 , 2 0 1 9 7 : 3 0 P M ( A p p r o v a l o f M i n u t e s ) 11/20/2019 Com. Au asked if the sign on the sales center would be reused. Mr. Heinrich said the sign would not be reused anywhere else. Com. Au asked about the duration of the signs and if they would have to come back and re-apply. Mr. Heinrich said no, he is asking for 5 years and would take the signs down as needed and until the project was complete. Com. Weinstein asked if there could be a renew at an administrative level for annual renewals up to 5 years or when the project is down, whichever comes first. Mr. Heinrich said he was amenable Com. Weinstein asked why the sign on the sales sign has to be so large Mr. Heinrich went over why they chose the size sign that they did for the sales center. Com. Weinstein asked if they would consider making the sign smaller. Mr. Heinrich said he has used signs of similar sign in other communities. He also doesn’t think the sign will be up past May. Chairperson Cesario commented on the picture on page 42. He noted that the signage on brandywine was a little aggressive. Mr. Heinrich said the signs show that they are open and ready to sell homes. They are proud of their developments. Chairperson Cesario noted that he is more concerned about the signs on the edge of the development. Village Planner Akash went over which signs were permitted and which were being considered. Com. Moodhe commented that the signs should be put somewhere else to attract potential home buyers. Com. Worlikar asked if the signs they were seeing are the same that would be used. Mr. Heinrich said the size will remain the same and all be for informational purposes. Chairperson Cesario asked once more if he would consider shrinking sign C. Mr. Heinrich said yes, he will shrink the sign down to the permitted size. The staff report was entered as exhibit 1. Mike Leisner, 156 Ironwood Ct. was sworn in. He voiced his concerns over the signs and commented on the effects of the development so far with the work that has been done.

Com. Weinstein thanked the petitioners from making the time restrictions on the southernmost pump. He asked about how the time restriction would be enforced. Mr. Arneson responded that it is all controlled on a timer which would turn off the pump and the lights to show that the pump is not active. Com. Cohn asked if there would be signage to show that the southernmost pump was not active. Mr. Arneson said that the hope is that with the lights being off at that pump with all the other lights being on would push patrons to using the other pumps. Com. Moodhe reference packet pg 114 and commented on the light poles and what lights would be used. Mr. Weightman said he believes that the poles are either 20 or 30 feet. The lights are LED. The lights can also rotated and are mounted on the columns. Com. Moodhe asked about the light distribution. Mr. Weightman said they could get that information. Com. Moodhe suggested type 3 or 4 be used closed to the southernmost pump to keep the light down for the neighbors. Com. Worlikar asked why a double pump would not work. Mr. Weightman said that the layout that accommodates the tanker does not allow for a 5th double sided pump. The staff report was entered as exhibit 1. Ms. Ortiz, Dogwood and Deerfield was sworn in.

Cohn commented his continued concern over the southernmost pump and will vote no because it was not addressed. Deputy Village Manager Stilling clarified that the use of the development is permitted and the southernmost pump is part of that. Com. Au asked if the zoning requirements were different from an unattended gas station verses an attended gas station. Deputy Village Manager Stilling responded no. Com. Weinstein said he is appreciative of the time restrictions to the southernmost pump and enough to convince him to vote in favor of the development. Chairperson Cesario reviewed the variations and understands the necessity of the three variation. He reviewed the data that has been shown that the gas station meets all safety and maintains or slightly improves the water issues. Com. Moodhe commented on the southernmost pump, but understands why the layout has to accommodate the refueling tanker. He noted that he is also appreciative of the time restrictions to the southernmost pump. 3.B.1 Packet Pg. 29 Mi n u t e s A c c e p t a n c e : M i n u t e s o f N o v 2 0 , 2 0 1 9 7 : 3 0 P M ( A p p r o v a l o f M i n u t e s ) 11/20/2019 RESULT: APPROVED [6 TO 2] AYES: Moodhe, Cesario, Khan, Weinstein, Richards, Worlikar NAYS: Matthew Cohn, Amy Au ABSENT: Stephen Goldspiel Regular Meeting Other Matters for Discussion None Approval of Minutes 1.
