RECOMMENDATION
A public meeting was held by the Design Commissioners on April 12, 2022 where Commissioner Kingsley moved and Commissioner Fitzgerald seconded:
A motion to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees, approval of the following sign variations for At Home to be located at 750 E. Rand Road:
1. A variation from Chapter 30, Section 30-302.a, to allow 7 ground signs, where 6 is the maximum allowed per a previously approved 1989 sign variation, and 5 is the maximum allowed per code (one for each building).
2. A variation from Chapter 30, Section 30-302.a, to allow a ground sign with 444’ and 548’ of separation from the adjacent ground signs, where 800’ is the minimum separation required.
This recommendation is based on the plans received 4/6/22, Federal, State, and Village Codes, regulations, and policies, and the issuance of all required permits, and the following conditions:
1. The stone for the base of the sign shall be selected to match identically the stone used on the existing Southpoint multi-tenant signs.
2. Sign approval is contingent upon IDOT and Village approvals for the new driveway.
3. This review deals with architectural design only and should not be construed to be an approval of, or to have any other impact on, any other zoning and/or land use issues or decisions that stem from zoning, building, signage or any other reviews. In addition to the normal technical review, permit drawings will be reviewed for consistency with the Design Commission and any other Commission or Board approval conditions. It is the architect/homeowner/builder’s responsibility to comply with the Design Commission approval and ensure that building permit plans comply with all zoning code, building permit and signage requirements.
