Mrs. Elizabeth Dotson, 833 Bernard Drive, was present and sworn in. The public hearing notice
published in the Daily Herald on June 27, 2013 was read.
Mrs. Dotson explained that she was sitting outside on her patio with her cat and a neighbor's
dog came over and attacked her cat. During the attack she was also bit. She has had two (2)
months of pain and she still has pain. She cannot move her finger. She was in the hospital and
was on antibiotics for over a month. There was another incident last week where she had her
cat on a leash and there was a loose dog across the street. There was also another incident
where someone was cutting through her yard on a bike. Last night another neighbor came over
with their dog and her cat was on the leash and she was hysterical, trying to get her cat away
from the dog. She believes she needs the fence. She had had coyotes and foxes in her yard as
well. She does not feel safe sitting in her yard. The proposed fence would be more aesthetically
pleasing being located behind the bush line on the corner. If the fence is close to the house it
will cut the yard in half.
Ch. Entman read the Village Engineer's memorandum addressed to Brian Sheehan dated July 1,
2013 which states: "Brian, I do not have any objections to the fence at 833 Bernard Drive going
to the ZBA public hearing on July 16, 2013."
Com. Lesser asked if the proposed fence will be what is shown in Exhibit "E2". Mrs. Dotson
stated that it is.
Com. Windecker asked if the fence will be located on the outside of the bushes. Mrs. Dotson
stated that fence will be located on the house side of the bushes. The fence will have two (2)
gates with locks so nothing can get into the yard. She has had at least five (5) incidents where
animals have come into the yard when she has been outside with her cat.
Ch. Entman stated that he observed that the finials appear to be pointed. Mrs. Dotson stated
that she does not know. Ch. Entman stated that he would have an issue if the finials were
pointed. Mrs. Dotson stated that she would prefer to have them pointed so that children could
not climb over the fence. Ch. Entman stated that it would be a danger. Mrs. Dotson stated that
she could make them flat. Ch. Entman stated that the fence would only be a five (5) foot fence.
He would put a requirement into the motion that the vertical railings on the fence be flat on the
top,or something similar to that.
Mr. Sheehan advised that the Village Code does not allow anything pointed on a fence. Include
in the motion that fence would be Code compliant. He also advised that the motion should
include that the fence would be encroaching fifteen (15) feet into the required twenty five (25)
foot side yard setback.
Ch. Entman stated that he did not see the designated side yard setback dimension on the
survey. He asked if any of the Commissioners had any comments concerning the distance the
fence would extend into the twenty five (25) foot side yard setback. That is a lot. He
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
J U LY 16, 2013
PAGE 2 of 11
understands that the fence would be located inside the bushes. Typically the Zoning Board of
Appeals (ZBA) would go half the distance of the setback.
Mrs. Dotson stated that her neighbor's fence is approximately five (5) feet from the property
line. This fence would be ten (10) feet from the property line. Ch. Entman stated that each
application is reviewed based on its own unique circumstances.
Corn. Shapiro stated that typically he would not like the fence to be as close to the property line
but there is a full ten (10)feet to the property line and it would be behind bushes. He would not
have any issues with the fence.
There were no further questions or comments from the Commissioners. There were no
questions or comments from the audience.
Corn. Lesser made the following motion:
I move we grant the request made by Elizabeth and Robert Dotson, 833 Bernard Drive, for
variance of Fence Code,Section 15.20.040, pertaining to Residential Districts, for the purpose of
constructing a five (5) foot aluminum fence that would encroach fifteen (15) feet into the
twenty five (25) foot required side yard setback: beginning at the southeast corner of the house
and extending southeast twenty two (22)feet (2)two inches; then turning southwest parallel to
Weidner Road to the rear property line, maintaining a distance of ten (10) feet from the
property line.
Subject to the Village Engineer's memorandum dated July 1, 2013. The fence shall be located on
the house side of the bushes and the fence shall be Code compliant. The Petitioner has
demonstrated hardship and unique circumstances. The proposed fence will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety and welfare and will not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood.
Corn. Windecker seconded the motion.

VARIANCE OF ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 17.40.050, FOR THE PURPOSE OF
CONSTRUCTING A SECOND STORY ADDITION THAT WOULD ENCROACH A DISTANCE OF 0.32
FEET INTO THE REQUIRED SIX(6) FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK
Mr. Brad Freeman, 1181 Devonshire Road, was present and sworn in. The public hearing notice
published in the Daily Herald on June 27, 2013 was read.
Mr. Freeman explained that he is planning to construct a second story addition that would be
built over the garage. The additional would consist of a fourth bedroom so that each of his
children would have their own room. When they purchased the house they thought that three
bedrooms would be sufficient. Their family has grown and they need more space. When they
purchased the home they were not aware of the encroachment into the required six (6) foot
side yard setback. They are seeking a variance for the original house and the second story
addition.
Ch. Entman read the Village Engineer's memorandum addressed to Brian Sheehan dated July 1,
2013 which states: "Brian, I do not have any objections to the second floor addition at 1181
Devonshire Road going to the ZBA public hearing on July 16, 2013."
Corn. Windecker asked Mr. Freeman if the materials on the addition will match the existing
construction of the house. Mr. Freeman stated that the siding and roof materials will be the
same colors as the existing house.
There were no additional questions or comments from the Commissioners. There were no
questions or comments from the audience.
Ch. Entman advised that the motion will be made as two (2) separate motions; one (1) to bring
the existing home into conformance and one (1)for the addition request.
Corn. Windecker made the following motion:
I move we grant the request made by Brad and Ivy Freeman, 1181 Devonshire Road, for
variance of Zoning Ordinance, Section 17.40.050, pertaining to Area, Height, Bulk and
Placement Regulations, for the purpose of bringing the existing house into conformance
concerning a 0.32 foot deficiency into the required six (6)foot side yard setback.

515 HARRIS COURT, VIPINKUMAR AND SHRUTI PARIKH - ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION
17.40.050, FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING A ONE-STORY ADDITION ON THE REAR OF
THE HOME THAT WOULD ENCROACH SEVEN (7) FEET THREE (3) INCHES AT THE FARTHEST
POINT OF ENCROACHMENT, AVERAGING A DISTANCE OF 3.12 FEET INTO THE REQUIRED
THIRTY(30) FOOT AVERAGE REAR YARD SETBACK
Mr. Rich Hagele, Lake in the Hills Construction Company, 1455 Saddlebrook Circle, Algonquin,
Illinois 60102, was present and sworn in. The public hearing notice published in the Daily Herald
on June 27, 2013 was read.
Mr. Hagele explained that due to the uniqueness of the property they need a variance to
construct and addition onto the rear of the home. The Petitioner is handicapped and has a hard
time maneuvering through the home. He is limited to the first floor. The addition will make it
easier for him and provide more space on the first floor. The rear yard is pie-shaped and has
two (2) rear setbacks lines. The location of the proposed addition is the only area that they can
feasibly add onto the home.
Ch. Entman read the Village Engineer's memorandum addressed to Brain Sheehan dated July 1,
2013 which states: "Brian, my only comment on the addition at 515 Harris Court going to the
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
JULY 16, 2013
PAGE 5of11
ZBA public hearing on July 16, 2013 is to make sure the proposed addition does not enter into
the public utility and drainage easement shown on the plat. The application seems to say that it
will not but the drawing shows it just barely going over the line and that is not allowed. If it is
not entering the easement then I do not have any objections to the appeal."
Corn. Lesser asked if the materials of the addition would match the existing construction of the
house. Mr. Hagele advised that the materials will match the existing home.
Ch. Entman asked Mr. Sheehan about how the seven foot three inch (7'3") average was
determined. Mr. Sheehan explained that since the rear setback line does not run in a straight
line, an average setback is established and is represented as a dashed line on Exhibit "A2".
There were no additional questions or comments from the Commissioners. There were no
questions or comments from the audience.
Corn. Shapiro made the following motion:
I move we grant the request made by Lake in the Hills Construction Co., Inc., 1455 Saddlebrook
Circle, Algonquin, Illinois 60102 on behalf of Vipinkumar and Shruti Parikh, 515 Harris Court, for
variance of Zoning Ordinance, Section 17.40.050, pertaining to Area, Height, Bulk and
Placement Regulations, for the purpose of constructing a one-story addition on the rear of the
home that would encroach seven (7) feet three (3) inches at the farthest point of
encroachment, averaging a distance of 3.12 feet into the required thirty (30) foot average rear
yard setback. Said addition is not to encroach into the easement.
Subject to the Village Engineer's memorandum dated July 1, 2013. Pursuant to plans and
specifications submitted to and approved by the Village. Materials to match the existing
construction in like kind and quality. The Petitioner has demonstrated hardship and unique

WELL AS A SEPARATE CHASE LOGO ON THE SOUTH ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING THAT DO
NOT FACE THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY, FOR CHASE BANK, 850 S. BUFFALO GROVE ROAD
Mr. John Streetz, Doyle Signs, 232 W. Interstate Road, Addison, Illinois 60101 and Ms. Sara
Glenn, Chase Bank, 10 S. Dearborn Street, Floor 15, Chicago, Illinois 60603, were present and
sworn in.The public hearing notice published in the Daily Herald on June 27, 2013 was read.
Mr. Streetz explained that the initial proposed sign package which was reviewed by the
Appearance Review Team (ART) was proposing a monument ground sign; a wall sign on the
front (east elevation) of the building; a wall sign on the rear (west elevation) of the building;
and wall signs on both the north and south elevations of the building as well as separate Chase
logos on both the north and south elevation towers. After the July 2, 2013 ART meeting they
had removed both the separate logos from the north and south elevations and had reduced the
size of the proposed wall sign on the north and south elevations in an effort to accommodate
some of the comments received at the ART meeting. Mr. Streetz distributed revised proposed
landscaping plan which was accepted and marked as Exhibit "K". A revised sign package dated
July 8, 2013 was distributed. The new proposed ground sign was marked as Exhibit "M". The
new proposed wall signs were marked as Exhibit "N". A separate revised Site Plan (Page 3) was
also distributed as the Site Plan in the July 8, 2013 package reflected an incorrect proposed
location of the ground sign which was accepted and marked as Exhibit "L". Photographs were
distributed depicting views of the proposed building from traveling north and south on Buffalo
Grove Road as well as photographs of the wall signage for Taco Bell, 50 W. Dundee Road and
signage for the Bucky's at 10 W. Dundee Road. The Photographs were accepted and marked as
Exhibit "J". Mr. Sheehan asked if the proposed ground sign location as depicted on Exhibit "L" is
to be located in a parking stall. He will need to review the approved Site Plan as parking was a
much discussed issue at the Plan Commission hearing.
Ch. Entman stated there is a letter from Newport Equities, dated May 23, 2013, granting
authorization to NW Sign Industries to sign as designated agent on behalf of Newport Equities
for applications pertaining to the new Chase Bank outlot development. There is a letter from
Doyle Signs dated June 14, 2013. There is no letter of authorization from either Newport
Equities or NW Sign Industries granting authority to Doyle Signs. Mr. Streetz explained that
Doyle Signs is working as an agent for NW Sign Industries. Ch. Entman advised that a letter will
need to be provided granted authorization to Doyle Signs either from NW Sign Industries or
Newport Equities. Mr. Streetz advised that he will obtain that authorization.

Mr. Streetz advised that signage is extremely important to Chase Bank. The property is unique
in that it will have traffic running on all four (4) sides of it. The property will be visible from
Dundee Road. Each elevation will have an ingress and egress that would act as a right-of-way.
The proposed wall signs on the east and west elevations did not change. The proposed wall
signs on the north and south elevations were reduced in size and the separate logos on the
north and south tower elevations have been removed.The ground sign is code compliant in size
and only requires a variation for location only. Chase Bank is entitled to a ground sign and the
proposed ground sign is attractive on both sides. The ground sign would be visible to traffic
moving both north and south on Buffalo Grove Road. There is a variation request for the west
elevation wall sign. This proposed sign was reduced to be one foot six inches 1'6" in height
Chase letters with a logo. This sign would face the access drive to the west and helps to identify
Chase Bank and the drive-thru to traffic in the parking lot of the shopping center. They feel
without this sign that people driving on the access drive or in the parking lot may not know that
this building is a Chase Bank. The north elevation proposed wall sign and logo was reduced to
two (2) feet in height and the proposed separate four (4) foot high logo was removed from the
tower. This elevation also faces the parking lot and is visible to southbound traffic on Buffalo
Grove Road. There are several trees along Buffalo Grove Road that may block the view of the
building. The north elevation wall sign will not only offer visibility to the north parking lot but
will offer visibility to southbound traffic. On the south elevation they are proposing the same
wall sign and logo as the north elevation and also removed the proposed separate logo on the
tower. This sign would face the Mobil station and would be their best chance for visibility from
Dundee Road. There are vantage points from both east and west bound traffic that will allow
traffic to notice that the building is a Chase Bank where they would not normally see the ground
sign, the east or west elevation wall signs. This sign would allow the building to be identified
from Dundee Road. The east elevation wall sign and logo does not require a variance as this
elevation has frontage along Buffalo Grove Road. Each of the proposed signs has a purpose. If
any of the proposed signs were to be removed he feels it will affect visibility to traffic moving
around the site. He feels that the proposed signs are in harmony with the intent of the Code. He
feels that each of the proposed signs are well sized and compliment the architecture of the
building. If any of the signs are removed, it will create a hardship. There are many trees along
Buffalo Grove Road and Dundee Road. This is a unique property; it has traffic moving around it
on all four(4) sides as if they had right-of-way on all four(4) sides.
Ch. Entman read the Village Engineer's memorandum addressed to Brian Sheehan dated July 1,
2013 which states: "Brian, I do not have any objections to the signs at 850 S. Buffalo Grove Road
going to the ZBA public hearing on July 16, 2013." Ch. Entman also read the ART minutes dated
July 2, 2013.
Corn. Windecker stated that under the revised submittal the ground sign has been relocated.
Mr. Streetz stated that is correct. Corn. Windecker asked if the Village Engineer has reviewed
the new proposed ground sign location. Mr. Streetz stated the Village Engineer has not seen it.
Corn. Windecker stated that the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) could not vote on the proposed
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
J U LY 16, 2013
PAGE 8 of 11
ground sign because the Village Engineer has not done a review on the location. He believes
that the site faces Dundee Road from an interior lot and not a direct frontage. He asked if the
property is an outlot that was acquired by Chase Bank. Mr. Streetz stated that the property is
an outlot. Com. Windecker advised Mr. Streetz that the Taco Bell was granted two (2) canopy
signs, not three (3) and the Village is looking into why they have more signs that what was
approved. Chase is a large bank. People know when they are going to the bank. There is a
proposed ground sign as well as four (4) proposed wall signs and four (4) logos; one (1) on each
side of the building. He has an issue with that. When you look at the lot that the building will
occupy, it will occupy approximately forty (40) percent of that side of the parking lot. He does
not see where there is the need, when logos are on the sides of the building, for wall sign on all
four (4) sides of the building. He can understand the signs facing Buffalo Grove Road and
Dundee Road, but is not sure of the benefit of the south elevation sign because that faces the
Mobil station. He understands the reason the photographs were submitted with views from
north and southbound Buffalo Grove Road, but that there are two (2) seasons in Buffalo Grove
and the trees will not be an issue in the winter. He understands that the two (2) signs were
eliminated and some signs were reduced but the proposal is still too many signs.The new Chase
Bank location in Orland Park only has two (2) signs. Mr. Streetz responded that the two (2)
Chase logos on the north and south towers were removed. They also reduced the size of the
proposed wall sign on the north and south elevations.
Corn. Lesser stated that the proposed signs on the north and south elevations should be
removed. He does not see any gain with signage on the north and south elevations. He
understands the sign on the east elevation facing Buffalo Grove Road. He understands the need
for a sign on the west elevation facing the access drive in the shopping center. He does not see
any purpose for wall signs on the north and south elevations, especially since there is the
request for the ground sign which would capture the traffic flow north and south on Buffalo
Grove Road. If the north and south elevation wall signs are pursed he suggests eliminating the
proposed ground sign. He also believes that the ground sign is too large and should be reduced
in size. The signs are proposed is too much signage and he can not support the request. Mr.
Streetz responded that proposed wall sign #4 on the south elevation of the building will be the
best way to identify the building to traffic on Dundee Road. There is the Mobil station and the
Taco Bell with frontage along Dundee Road but there are vantage points along Dundee Road in
which you will be able to tell that this is a Chase Bank where you will not be able to see the
ground sign or the sign on the west elevation. Between the north and south elevations, he
believes the south elevation sign is more important. The proposed north elevation wall sign is
the best way to identify the bank building to traffic in the parking lot of the center and the
ground sign is the best way to identify the building to north and south traffic on Buffalo Grove
Road. Corn. Lesser rebutted that retail locations do not need three hundred sixty (360) degrees
of signage.
Corn. Steingold agrees with Corn. Windecker and Corn. Lesser.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
JULY 16, 2013
PAGE 9of11
Corn. Au agrees that the proposed sign package is too much signage. Some signs will need to be
eliminated from the sign package. Outlot buildings tend to have only one (1) or two (2) wall
signs. If the ZBA allows wall sign on all four (4) sides of the building then other businesses
located on outlot are going to want signs on all four (4) sides of their buildings as well. Then
there will be signage everywhere you go. The ZBA has to look at what is best for the entire
community.
Com. Shapiro agrees with Com. Lesser and Com. Au on the necessity of proposed wall signs #3
and #4 as opposed to the ground sign. He does not see how anyone could drive past proposed
sign #3 without seeing sign #'s 1, 2, 4 and 5. Coming from the north you will see the ground sign
and the sign on the front of the building facing east. If you are coming from the west, you would
see sign #5. If you are coming from the south you will see sign #4. He does not see the need for
sign #3 at all. He does not believe that sign #4 will be very useful either being located behind
the Mobil. By the time you can see that sign, you will be able to see the entire building. There is
too much signage as proposed.
Ch. Entman stated he also agrees that there is too much signage. He does not believe that the
bank needs sign on every elevation of the building. The ground sign is too big in height and
width. The Village Engineer will also need to review the new proposed ground sign location. He
asked if the Chase bank located inside the Dominick's in the shopping center will be staying. Mr.
Streetz stated that the bank will not be staying inside the Dominick's. Ch. Entman asked if the
signage will be coming off the Dominick's building. Mr. Streetz stated that the sign would be
removed. Ch. Entman stated that he has not, after twenty five (25) years, been provided
evidence that more signs will get more business. A bank is not a retail location. Minimal signage
would be sufficient. He does not see a major need for the signage as proposed. The bank will be
constructed with the visibility issue. The bank created its own hardship. He cannot support the
request as proposed.
Ms. Glenn stated that she understands that this is a compromise process. There are different
sign packages that are available that she would like to present to the ZBA. She believes that the
west elevation wall sign is very important for visibility on the west. She asked to have the
request Tabled to the next meeting in order to provide more sign options that are available to
the ZBA.
There were no additional questions or comments from the Commissioners. There were no
questions or comments from the audience.
Com. Lesser made a motion to Table the request made by Doyle Signs, 232 W. Interstate Road,
