Recommendation
A public meeting was held by the Design Commission on March 12, 2024 where Commissioner Eckhardt moved and Commissioner Seyer seconded:
A motion to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees, approval of DC#24-008, the following sign variation requests for 44 S. Vail Avenue:
1. A variation from Chapter 30, Section 30-201.h.5.b, to allow a ground sign to be located in an area with a 7-foot setback, where the parcel must have an area with a 20-feet setback for ground sign placement.
2. A variation from Chapter 30, Section 30-301.d, to allow a ground sign to be located 4-feet from the building wall, where no ground sign shall be closer than 6-feet from any building or other structure.
This recommendation is subject to compliance with the plans received 1/31/24, Federal, State, and Village codes, regulations, and policies, and the issuance of all required permits, and the following conditions:
1. A recommendation that the petitioner review the landscape materials located directly in front of the ground sign, so as not to create vegetation that will grow and hide the sign.
2. A recommendation that the petitioner review the color temperature of the lights inside the ground sign, so they are not the bright white daylight but a softer color.
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.
Roll Call Vote: Commissioners Fitzgerald, Eckhardt, Kingsley, Seyer, and Chair Kubow voted in favor. Motion carried.
