RDER:The regular meeting of the Sign Review Board was called to order by Chairperson Adelaide

on a motion by Elizabeth Luxem, seconded by John McDermott. The motion to defer

NEW BUSINESS:
Sign -_31!92. Wal-Mart 2 E
This is a request by Wal-Mart to seek a special use equity option in order to permit a
second wall sign adjacent to Rand Road instead of the maximum of one wall per street
frontage as required by Code. Wal-Mart is looking to place an additional wall sign on the
west wall for southeasterly -bound Rand Road traffic. The lettering is proposed to read
"Wal-Mart" with 5 foot red capital letters running 37 feet in length for a total of 185 square
feet in area. The staff memo indicated that the maximum sign area proposed for wall signs
in the amendment being considered by the Village Board is 150 square feet.
Mr. Fowler, representing Wal-Mart, could not respond to questions with regard to Wal-
Mart considering changes in background color or some accent striping on the west wall
where the new signage is proposed to be located above the garden center. In addition,
neither Western Development or Wal-Mart have verified with the Village Wal -Mart's intent
to place a tenant panel on both of two proposed freestanding signs for Mount Prospect
Plaza. Staff has been led to believe that there may be a question as to whether Wal-Mart
would be placing a tenant panel on each of these two signs. In any event, the Sign Review
Board would like to know the total signage proposal for Wal-Mart. Should a separate Wal-
Mart freestanding sign be sought sometime in the future, the Sign Review Board feels that
the issue should be addressed at this point in time.
Motion
A motion was made by Hal Predovich, seconded by Mr. Rogers, that this case be continued
until November 2 to give Wal-Mart and their contractors an opportunity to respond to the
questions raised with regard to background and color on the west wall signage, and the
signage needs for Wal-Mart for the entire site. The vote on the motion was 6 ayes, 0 nays.
Sign Review Board Minutes

lit Etd.. 350 last Kensineton R
Messrs. Dave and Don Wolff requested relief from Ordinance #3666 and Section 7.330.D
of the Sign Ordinance in order to install two exterior wall signs on the former Child's World
building on Rouse/Randhurst property adjacent to Kensington Road. They stated the signs
would be temporary in nature and would be removed by March. 31, 1993, at the expiration
of their lease with Rouse/Randhurst for this space. They propose to install two non -
illuminated panel signs instead of individually illuminated letters which by Ordinance #3666
are to be affixed directly to the wall.
Discussion
Comments were made by the Sign Review Board on the crafting of the temporary signs
indicating a concern for signage that would look presentable even though it would be
temporary. Messrs. Wolff indicated that their father is a professional sign painter and has
many years of experience in this particular area and they assured the Sign Review Board
and staff that any such signage would be professionally done. The Sign Review Board
suggested that care be taken to make the sign colors and appearance tie in as much as
possible with the building.
It is proposed that the signs would be located over the main entrance to the former Child
World entrance on the north wall of the building. This sign is proposed to be 4 feet high
and 36 feet long. It was indicated by staff that the existing Child World sign over the
entrance would need to be removed as a condition of approval. The second sign is
proposed to be located on the west wall of the Child World building and would measure 4
feet high and 12 feet long.
The petitioners indicated that their hours of operation would be limited to Saturday and
Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. An exception would be an occasional Friday around the
holiday season. Rouse/Randhurst Management sent a letter indicating their approval of the
temporary signage with the condition that the signage be removed at the end of the lease
period of ltirllarch 31, 1993. Randhurst Management also :indicated that at the conclusion of
the temporary lease, the space would be rented on a permanent basis to a retail user.
Motion
A motion was made by Mr. Predovich, seconded by Mr. Kostak, to grant the temporary
signage usage on the Child World building until March 31, 1993, provided further that the
existing Child World sign be removed and final signage design is presented to Planning staff
for final approval of lettering, style and color combinations. The vote on the motion was
6 ayes, 0 nays.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
