HnfinrMiTt M,
Maddie Keller for Hilton Displays (the "Petitioner") is seeking a Variation to allow two menu boards for the property located at
195 W. Rand Road (the "Subject Property"). The Subject Property is located on the south side of Rand Road, and is currently
being developed with a new Starbucks Coffee. The Subject Property is the former site of X -press -0 Coffee. The Subject
Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping and is bordered to the west, south, and east by B3 Community Shopping. The
property borders the B4 Corridor Commercial across Rand Road.
The Applicant currently has permit approval to install a wall mounted menu board by the drive-thru window and is proposing to
locate a second menu board at the entrance of the drive-through lane. The attached drawings indicate the proposed sign would
be a pre -menu board measuring 5.44' high and 12 square feet in area. The second menu board requires variation approval as the
Village Sign Code permits only one menu board for a drive-through facility.
Required findings for sign variations are contained in Section 7.605 of the Village of Mount Prospect Sign Code. The section
contains specific findings, listed below, that must be made in order to approve a variation:
* The sign allowed under code regulations will not reasonably identify the business;
• The hardship is created by unique circumstances and not serve as a convenience to the petitioner, and is not created by
the person presently having an interest in the sign or property;
• The variation will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property orimprovements i
the neighborhood; and
• The variation will not impair visibility to the adjacent property, increase the danger of traffic problems or endanger the
public safety, or alter the essential character of the neighborhood; and be in harmony with the spirit and intent of this
Chapter.
