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 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. https://go.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login 1/2 4/28/2020 BoardDocs® Pro Per - Petitioner,the second menuboard will preventand reduce traffic.
