Information
The Petitioner
,, Amy Tesch, proposes to alter an existing legal nonconforming sign located at 3401 S. Busse Road (the
"Subject Property"). A variation to the legal nonconforming sign provision is required. The Zoning Ordinance does not
allow billboard signs of any type. The billboard sign located on the Subject Property was annexed into the Village in
1982 as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) in the I-1 Limited Industrial zoning district.
The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISHTA) recently raised the Interstate 90 barrier to mitigate noise from the interstate by
approximately 18' height in feet, and 1700 feet in length. This barrier blocks the existing outdoor advertising billboard, operatevi
by the Petitioner. The Petitioner proposes to raise the existing height of the billboard sign, and change the western facing sign
from static to an electronic message center (EMC) sign. The proposed digital sign face is 100% of the total sign area. The total
height is dependent on the digital sign approval. The table below outlines the request:
If digital request is approved: Request Oillboard Dimensions
...................... ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
14 feet by 48 feet
If digital request is denied:
14 feet by 48 feet
As an incentive to the Village, Clear Channel Outdoor is proposing advertising space, free of charge, to the Village in the event
the variation is approved. The Village would be reserved one rotating ten second spot within an eight advertiser rotation
available in fifteen (15) one week periods (Monday through Sunday) in a calendar year. All Village messages would be rotated in
this one spot. Within these weeks, the Village message would be displayed once every eighty (80) seconds, twenty-four (24)
hours a day.
Village staff believes the Petitioner's sign variation request complies with the sign variation standards and is supportive. The
proposed advertising space offered from the Petitioner will be an added benefit to the Village's ongoing marketing and economic
development campaign by showcasing Village related events on the billboard to the public. The current 1-90 barrier restricts the
visual integrity of the billboard, and although the Village doesn't permit billboards in the sign code, the billboard was annexed
into the Village and is an existing legal nonconforming sign.

Staff Recommendation
Staff finds that the variation meets the sign variation standards as listed in the Zoning Ordinance and that granting such request would
be in the best interest of the Village. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission adopt staff
findings in the staff report as the findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approve the sign variation request.
