SIGN REVIEW CASE Sign Review Board Case No. 24-92 -- NO. 24-92 The Petitioner, Charlie Club, is requesting OFF PREMISE SIGNS a text amendment to the Sign Ordinance to create a Special Use category which would permit off-premise signs. The Sign Review Board recommended denying this request by a vote of 4-1. Attorney Dorst, representing the Charlie Club, explained that the Charlie Club is located on Midway Drive, approximately 500 feet west of Elmhurst Road. Page 4 - July 21, 1992 The Charlie Club has an easement on what is now the Park National Bank property, where the sign for the Charlie Club has beensince 1980. The Sign Code was adopted in 1982 giving non- conforming signs 10 years to comply with the new regulations, however, the Sign Code does not permit off-premise signs. The Sign Code also restricts property to one sign and since the Charlie Club had its sign on theieasement the Park National Bank could not have a pole sign on their Elmhurst Road frontage. TheCharlie Club is requesting a text amendment to allow their sign on the easement at the northwest corner of Elmhurst Road and Midway Drive. Members of the Village Board asked if Park National Bank and Charlie Club could share a sign. Representatives of the bank stated that 'they would like to have their own individual sign and stated that it was their understanding that the Charlie Club would be required to remove their sign in 1992 therefore allowing their sign to be installed. It was stated by members of the Village Board that Charlie Club once owned the land now occupied by Park National Bank and that when that property was sold the Charlie Club should have retained enough land to allow for a sign fronting Elmhurst Road. Mr. Dorst explained that the Charlie Club had never owned that land and perhaps this mis- information may caused confusion affecting the recommendation of the Sign Review Board. Mayor Farley stated that the minutes of the Sign Review Board did address the question of former ownership of the bank property and since that information may have had a bearing on the recommendation of the Sign Review Board, he would like that Board to hear evidence based on new accurate information. The Village Board asked the parties to work together in order to resolve this situation in order to eliminate the possibility of litigation. Mayor Farley remanded this case back to the Sign Review Board. A Resolution was presented that would authorize PRIMARY HEALTH an Agreement between the Village and the Suburban CARE AGREEMENT Primary Health Care Program. It was noted that there are specific guidelines established determining qualifications for anyone participating in this program. Page 5 - July 21, 1992 RES.NO. 25-92 Trustee Wilks, seconded by Trustee Corcoran, moved for passage of Resolution No. 25-92 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT AND THE SUBURBAN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE COUNCIL PRIMARY HEALTH CARE PROGRAM -- upon roll call: Ayes: Busse, Clowes, Corcoran, Floros, Wilks Nays: None Motion carried.

The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended granting this request by a vote of 4-3. It was noted that while the Zoning Board of Appeals is final with respect to fence heights, an appeal process exists giving neighbors an opportunity to appeal the decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals, which appeal is presented to the Village Board for determination. An appeal was filed and therefore this matter was-- brought to the Village Board for final decision. The Petitioner explained that she would like to install the 6' high fence on the south side of her property in order to provide privacy. She noted that due to the fact that she was almost 6 feet tall, the higher fence would be more desirable. Mr. Mobus, 15 South Maple, stated that he objects to a 6' high fence.
