Home My WebLink About6. NEW BUSINESS 11/16/04 Village of Mount Prospect Community Development Department MEMORANDUM TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER ""B~~ I \ I \~IO't FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: SUBJECT: NOVEMBER 12, 2004 PZ-40-04: VARIATION (UNENCLOSED PORCH) 102 S. WILLIAM STREET TOM & KATHERINE CUMMINGS - APPLICANT The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-40-04, a request for an unenclosed front porch, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their October 28, 2004 meeting. The Subject Property is located within a single-family residential neighborhood. The attached exhibits îllustrate the Petitioner's proposed improvements to the existing home, which are limited to replacing an existing porch with an unenclosed porch. The front setback of the proposed unenclosed porch would be the same as the existing porch, but the new porch would include a 2' overhang for a small portion of the porch. Also, the porch would be slightly modified to wrap-around the house and extend into the side yard. The portion of the porch that extends into the side yard meets setback regulations and does not require relief from zoning regulations. However, the front setback would be less than 21-feet. Therefore, the proposal requires a Variation and Vî11age Board approval. The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the petitioner's plans for the porch and noted how the proposed 'unenclosed' design would enhance the house. They noted that the foundationlbase of the proposed porch would not exceed the footprint of the existing porch. Also, the roofline of the house extended over the porch and this design dictated the porch be replaced using the same footprint as the existing porch. The Planning & Zoning Commission members voted 5-0 to recommend that the Vî11age Board approve a request for a Variation to permit the construction of an unenclosed front porch 20.53-feet from the front property line at 102 S. Wî11iam Street, Case No. PZ-40-04. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Vî11age Board for their review and consideration at their November 16,2004 meeting. Staffwî11 be present to answer any questions related to this matter. /jc H'IPLANlPlanning & Zoning COMM\P&z 2004\MEJ McmoslJ'Z-40-04 MEJ MEMO (102 S William - VAR- porcb).doc MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION CASE NO.

William Street PETITIONER: Tom & Katherine Cummings PUBLICATION DATE: October 13,2004 Journal/Topics PIN#: 08-12-208-013-0000 REQUEST: Variation - Unenclosed Porch MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Arlene Juracek Merrill Cotten Joseph Donnelly Richard Rogers Matthew Sledz MEMBERS ABSENT: Leo Floros Keith Youngquist STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Michael Jacobs, AICP, Deputy Director of Community Development; Judy Connolly, AICP, Senior Planner INTERESTED PARTIES: Tom Cummings and Dorothy Ceisel Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the minutes of the September 23, 2004 meeting and Merrill Cotten seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 5-0. Ms. Juracek asked for a motion to continue PZ-26-04, Variations for the St. Paul Lutheran Church project. Matt Sledz made a motion to continue PZ-26-04 to November II, 2004; Richard Rogers seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-0. After hearing two other cases, Ms. Juracek introduced Ca~e No. PZ-40-04, a request for a Variation for an unenclosed porch to encroach 9.47-feet into the front yard. She noted that the request would be Village Board final. Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the case. She said that the Petitioner's proposed improvements to the existing home are limited to replacing an existing porch with an unenclosed porch. The front setback of the proposed unenclosed porch would be the same as the existing porch, but the new porch would include a 2' overhang for a small portion of the porch. The Petitioner included the overhang to add architectural interest to the unenclosed porch. Also, the porch would be slightly modified to wrap-around the house and extend into the side yard. The portion of the porch that extends into the side yard meets setbacks regulations and does not require relief from zoning regulations. However, the front setback would be less than 21-feet. The Zoning Ordinance lists unenclosed porches that encroach no more than 5' into the required front yard setback as Conditional Uses and the Planning & Zoning Commission's decision is final for the request. The proposed unenclosed porch requires a Variation and Village Board approval because it exceeds the scope of the parameters for a Conditional Use. In this case, the Petitioner proposes to rebuild the porch, but 'open it up' using a wood railing, and a combination of wood and stone columns instead of the solid wall that currently exists. The roofline of the house extends over the porch and this design dictates that the porch to be replaced using the same footprint as the existing porch. The floor would continue to be raised and a lattice would screen the base and extend into the ground. Planning & Zoning Commission Arlene Juracek, Chairperson PZ-40-04 Page 2 The existing home does not comply with the Village's zoning regulations because the existing porch encroaches into the required front yard and has a 22.2' setback. The Petitioner proposes to replace the porch to maintain the structural integrity of the house and the porch, but also include a 2' overhang as part of the new porch. The footprint of the porch would be 22.2' but the overhang extends almost 2' past the existing setback. The proposed unenclosed porch requires relief from the RA District's bulk regulations for the front yard setback. The porch would be constructed according to all applicable Village Codes. Ms. Connolly said that in order to approve the request, the request has to meet the standards for a Variation, which are listed in the Zoning Ordinance. She summarized the standards and said that the Petitioner is proposing to replace a nonconforming structure and include a 2' overhang as part of the new structure. The Zoning Ordinance allows certain nonconforming structures to be replaced as long as the site meets lot coverage requirements. However, the proposed porch does not meet the nonconforming criteria listed in the Zoning Ordinance and a Variation is required. The Petitioner has explored different designs for the porch, but the design of the roof limits their options. The existing roof extends into the setback and the posts are load-bearing piers that carry the weight of the roof. In order to meet current zoning regulations, the roof would have to be significantly modified because the posts that extend into the required front yard ensure the structural integrity of the roofline. The Zoning Ordinance requires a 30-foot front yard for the house. However, the existing structure does not meet this requirement and the Petitioner would like to construct the porch almost ten-feet into the required setback, as it currently exists. Although the proposed encroachment is slightly more than the existing encroachment, the request meets the standards for a Variation because there is a hardship as defined by the Zoning Ordinance: which means that replacing the porch as required by the Zoning Ordinance would create a practical difficulty in meeting code requirements because of unusual circumstances such as the roofline. Ms. Connolly concluded by stating that Staff found that the Petitioner's request to improve the house and have an unclosed porch encroach into the front yard met the Variation standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance because the roofline creates a hardship, as defined by the Zoning Ordinance. Also, the footprint of the porch would be the same as the existing porch, and the two-foot overhang does not change the footprint of the porch. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend that the Village Board approve a Variation to allow a 10' front yard setback for an unenclosed porch as shown on the Petitioner's exhibits for the residence at 102 S. William Street, Case No. PZ-40-04. The Village Board's decision is final for this case. Tom Cummings, 102 S. William Street, Mount Prospect, and Dorothy Ceisel, 7339 N. School Street, Niles, IL were sworn in. Mr. Cummings reviewed the project and stated that the porch floor had to be replaced because it was deteriorating. He said that he and his wife wanted to take this opportunity to improve the aesthetics of the house by opening up the porch and making it more inviting. Ms. Ceisel reviewed the architectural elements of the project and compared the over hang to a bay window. She noted that the over hang would not extend to the ground and that the existing steps occupy more of the ITont yard than the over hang. There Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the age and style of the house, how the new porch would enhance the house, and that the roof prevented the new porch ITom complying with current regulations. There was discussion on how the porch and over hang would provide more 'green space' in the ITont yard than what currently exists. Ms. Juracek asked if anyone was in the audience who wanted to address the Planning & Zoning Commission. Bob Leopold, 107 S. William Street, was sworn in. Mr. Leopold asked for clarification on the design of the porch and did not object to the Petitioner's request. Ms. Juracek closed the Public Hearing and asked for a motion or further discussion. Planning & Zoning Commission Arlene Juracek, Chairperson PZ-40-04 Page 3 Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the request for a Variation that would allow an unenclosed porch with a 2' over hang to encroach 9.47' into the required ITont yard, for the property located at 102 S.

WILLIAM STREET (CUMMINGS RESIDENCE) BACKGROUND A public hearing has been scheduled for the October 28, 2004 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application by Tom & Katherine Cummings (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 102 S. William Street (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking a Variation to allow an unenclosed porch to encroach into the required front yard when the Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum setback of 30 feet. It should be noted that a Variation is needed since Conditional Use requests are only possible for unenclosed porches that encroach 5' into the required front yard. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the Óctober 13, 2004 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject Property. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Subject Property is located on the west side of William Street, between Busse and Evergreen Avenues, and contains a single-family residence with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned RA Single Family Residence and is bordered on all sides by the RA District. The Subject Property has a typical rectangular shape and the existing home is currently set back approximately 22.2' from the east (front) lot line, 9.85' from the north (interior) lot line, 13.55' from the south (interior) lot line, and approximately 81' from the west (rear) lot line. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL The attached exhibits illustrate the Petitioner's proposed improvements to the existing home, which are limited to replacing an existing porch with an unenclosed porch. The front setback of the proposed unenclosed porch would be the same as the existing porch, but the new porch would include a 2' overhang for a small portion of the porch. The Petitioner included the overhang to add architectural interest to the unenclosed porch. Also, the porch would be slightly modified to wrap-around the house and extend into the side yard. The portion of the porch that extends into the side yard meets setbacks regulations and does not require relief ITom zoning regulations. However, the front setback would be less than 21-feet. The Zoning Ordinance lists unenclosed porches that encroach no more than 5' into the required ITont yard setback as Conditional Uses and the Planning & Zoning Commission's decision is final for the request. The proposed unenclosed porch requires a Variation and Village Board approval because it exceeds the scope of the parameters for a Conditional Use. In this case, the Petitioner proposes to rebuild the porch, but 'open it up' using a wood PZ-40-04 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting October 28, 2004 Page 3 railing, and a combination of wood and stone columns instead of the solid wall that currently exists. The roofline of the house extends over the porch and this design dictates that the porch to be replaced using the same footprint as the existing porch. The floor would continue to be raised and a lattice would screen the base and extend into the ground. GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE The existing home does not comply with the Village's zoning regulations because the existing porch encroaches into the required front yard and has a 22.2' setback. The Petitioner proposes to replace the porch to maintain the structural integrity of the house and the porch, but also include a 2' overhang as part of the new porch. The footprint of the porch would be 22.2' but the overhang extends almost 2' past the existing setback. The proposed unenclosed porch requires relief from the RA District's bulk regulations for the front yard setback. The porch would be constructed according to all applicable Village Codes. The following table compares the Petitioner's proposal to the RA Single Family Residence District's bulk requirements. RA Single Family District Existing Proposed Minimum Requirements SETBACKS: Front 30' 22.2' 20.53' with overhang Interior 5' 9.85' (north) No Change 13.55' (south) 6.22' Rear 25' 81' No Change LOT COVERAGE 50% Maximum 47% 46% VARIATION STANDARDS The standards for a Variation are listed in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Variation. The following list is a summary of these findings: . A hardship due to the physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of a specific property not generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district and not created by any person presently having an interest in the property; Lack of desire to increase financial gain; and . . Protection of the public welfare, other property, and neighborhood character. The Petitioner is proposing to replace a nonconforming structure and include a 2' overhang as part of the new structure. The Zoning Ordinance allows certain nonconforming structures to be replaced as long as the site meets lot coverage requirements (Sec. 14.402.B). However, the proposed porch does not meet the criteria listed in the Zoning Ordinance and a Variation is required. The Petitioner has explored different designs for the porch, but the design of the roof limits their options. The existing roof extends into the setback and the posts are load-bearing piers that carry the weight of the roof. In order to meet current zoning regulations, the roof would have to be significantly modified because the posts that extend into the required front yard ensure the structural integrity of the roofline. PZ-40-04 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting October 28, 2004 Page 4 The Zoning Ordinance requires a 30-foot front yard for the house. However, the existing structure does not meet this requirement and the Petitioner would like to construct the porch almost ten-feet into the required setback, as it currently exists. Although the proposed encroachment is slightly more than the existing encroachment, the request meets the standards for a Variation because there is a hardship as defined by the Zoning Ordinance: replacing the porch as required by the Zoning Ordinance would create a practical difficulty in meeting code requirements because of unusual circumstances, i.e. the roofline. RECOMMENDATION The Petitioner's request to improve the house and have an unclosed porch encroach into the ITont yard meets the Variation standards contained in Section 14.203.C.9 of the Zoning Ordinance because the roofline creates a hardship, as defined by the Zoning Ordinance. Also, the footprint of the porch would be the same as the existing porch, and the two-foot overhang does not change the footprint of the porch. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend that the Village Board approve a Variation to allow a 10' front yard setback for an unenclosed porch as shown on the attached exhibits for the residence at 102 S. William Street, Case No. PZ-40-04. The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER "BÞ ~~ II I ' '" ¡ø-r FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: NOVEMBER 12, 2004 SUBJECT: PZ-39-04: SPECIAL USE (ELECTRONIC MESSAGE BOARD) 1 E. RAND ROAD (CVS PHARMACY) KARl MYERS, SITE ENHANCEMENT SERVICES - APPLICANT The Petitioner is appealing the Planning & Zoning Commission's decision to deny a request for a Special Use permit for an electronic message board sign (Case No. PZ-39-04) for the CVS Pharmacy located at 1 E. Rand Road (the "Subject Property"). The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their October 28, 2004 meeting. The attached exhibits indicate that the size and location of the proposed sign would comply with the Village's Sign Code regulations. The proposed electronic message board would include three lines of copy (text) used to advertise CVS's sale items and/or services. The existing 'CVS' sign located along the Main StreetlElmhurst Road frontage would be removed. In addition, the Petitioner agreed to modify the base of the freestanding sign located along the Rand Road frontage so the proposed sign and the existing sign would be constructed of similar materials and match. As noted in the attached Staff Report, the Village's Traffic Engineer reviewed the proposal and found that the electronic message board would not adversely impact traffic. In addition, Staff found that the design of the proposed sign would not create a negative impact on adjacent properties. The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Petitioner's request in great detail. Several Commissioners stated safety concerns, high traffic volumes at the intersection, and the possibility that the sign could create a distraction to drivers as reasons not to support the Petitioner's request. The Petitioner responded that studies cited throughout the sign industry could not confirm that electronic message boards created traffic hazards. However, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted 3-1 to deny the Special Use permit for an electronic message board, Case No. PZ-39-04, at 1 E. Rand Road. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their November 16,2004 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter. ~t ~. Ijc H,IPLAN\Planning & Zoning COMM\P&z 2004'ME! McmosIPZ-39-04 ME!

Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the minutes of the September 23, 2004 meeting and Merrill Cotten seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 5-0. Ms. Juracek asked for a motion to continue PZ-26-04, Variations for the St. Paul Lutheran Church project. Matt Sledz made a motion to continue PZ-26-04 to November 11, 2004; Richard Rogers seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-0. After hearing another case, Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-39-04, a request for a Special Use permit for an electronic message board sign. She noted that the request would be Planning 7 Zoning Commission final. Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the case. She said that in the summer of 2000, the Zoning Board of Appeals denied the Petitioner's request for multiple wall signs on the north elevation. The Petitioner revised the package and the signs installed complied with the Village's Sign Code. The Petitioner is now seeking Special Use approval to install a ITeestanding sign with an electronic message board at the northwest corner of the Subject Property. Ms. Connolly said that the Petitioner is allowed to have one freestanding sign per street frontage. The existing freestanding sign on the Elmhurst Road frontage would be removed, but the freestanding sign on the Rand Road ITontage would remain in its current location. The location and size of the proposed sign would comply with the Village's Sign Code regulations. The Petitioner's exhibit indicates that the overall height of the sign would measure no more than 12-feet from grade. The base of the sign will be red brick and capped with a standard masonry material. The electronic message board would include three lines of copy (text) used to advertise CVS's sale items and/or services. Ms. Connolly said that in order to approve the proposed sign, the P&Z would have to find that it met the standards listed in the Sign Code. She summarized the standards and said that the size and location of the sign Planning & Zoning Commission Arlene Juracek, Chairperson PZ-39-04 Page 2 complies with Sign Code regulations. The Village's Traffic Engineer reviewed the proposal and found that the electronic message board would not adversely impact traffic. In addition, Staff found that the design of the proposed sign would not create a negative impact on adjacent properties. However, the two freestanding sign materials (proposed and existing Rand Road frontage sign) will no longer match. In order to ensure that the proposed sign is in keeping with the character of the neighborhood, Staff recommends that the base of the existing sign (Rand Road frontage) be modified to include a brick base. Ms. Connolly said that based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the proposed Special Use to permit an electronic message board for the CVS ffeestanding sign subject to the following conditions: I. Remove the existing CVS sign on the Elmhurst Road ITontage; 2. Modify the existing Rand Road frontage ITeestanding sign so it has a brick base and matches the proposed freestanding sign; and 3. That the proposed sign comply with the standards listed in Sec. 7.330.A of the Sign Code. The Planning & Zoning Commission inquired whether the proposal complied with the 600-foot separation requirement ITom another electronic message board sign, as there was one such sign at Randhurst. It was confirmed that the Randhurst sign was removed and that the proposal complied with all Village Code requirements. Kari Myers, Site Enhancement Services, Agent for CVS, 3699 W. Lathrop, South Bend, IN, was sworn in. Ms. Myers reviewed the proposed sign elevations. She testified that the sign would comply with the Village's Sign Code regulations: the text would not flash; the text would not be continued from 'screen-to-screen' but would appear as one message at one time; the text would be displayed for a 10-15 second interval. There was general discussion regarding the sign and the existing signs. Mr. Cotten stated that he does not like electronic message board signs in general because he feels they cause traffic accidents and distract drivers. Mr. Rogers said that he did not like the location of the proposed sign. He said that the intersection experiences significantly high traffic volumes and that the electronic message board would not be appropriate at this location. Mr. Donnelly stated concerns regarding the location, the high traffic volume, and how the sign could cause traffic hazards. Mr. Sledz said that he would abstain from the vote because he works for a competitor of CVS. . Chairperson Juracek told Ms. Myers that she had the option of asking for the case to be continued so she could meet with CVS and modify the proposal to address the Commissioner's concerns. Ms. Myers said that the Village's Traffic Engineer did not feel the sign posed a traffic hazard, which was stated in the Staff Report. Therefore, she did not feel any modifications to the sign would address the Commissioner's traffic concerns. She asked the P&Z vote on the request. Ms. Juracek asked if anyone was in the audience who wanted to address the Planning & Zoning Commission. As there were none, she closed the Public Hearing at 8:02. Richard Rogers made a motion to approve the request for a Special Use permit to install an electronic message board sign subject the conditions listed in the Staff Report, Case No. PZ-39-04. Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion. Planning & Zoning Commission Arlene Juracek, Chairperson UPON ROLL CALL: Motion was denied 3-1.

RAND ROAD / CVS PHARMACY BACKGROUND A public hearing has been scheduled for the October 28, 2004 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application submitted on behalf of CVS Pharmacy, the "Petitioner", regarding the property located at 1 E. Rand Road (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner has requested a Special Use permit for an electronic message board sign. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the October 13, 2004 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Subject Property is located at the southeast intersection of Elmhurst/Rand/Kensington Roads, and consists of a retail center (CVS Pharmacy, Subway, and AT&T phone center). It is bordered by the B4 Business, Retail & Service district to the east and west, and to the north and south is the B3 Community Shopping district. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL As you may recall in the summer of 2000, the Zoning Board of Appeals denied the Petitioner's request for multiple wall signs on the north elevation. The Petitioner revised the package and the signs installed complied with the Village's Sign Code. The Petitioner is now seeking Special Use approval to install a freestanding sign with an electronic message board at the northwest corner of the Subject Property. The Petitioner is allowed to have one freestanding sign per street frontage. The existing freestanding sign on the Elmhurst Road frontage would be removed, but the freestanding sign on the Rand Road frontage would remain in its current location. The location and size of the proposed sign would comply with the Village's Sign Code regulations. As illustrated on the attached exhibit, the overall height of the sign measures no more than 12-feet from grade. The base of the sign will be red brick and capped with a standard masonry material. The electronic message board would include three lines of copy (text) used to advertise CVS' s sale items and/or services. PZ-39-04 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting October 28, 2004 Page 3 REQUIRED FINDINGS SPECIAL USE STANDARDS The P&Z Commission may approve Special Uses under the sign code based on the Special Uses Standards in Section 7.720. The following Jist is a summary of these findings: . Protection of public safety and welfare; . Harmony with the scale and architecture of nearby buildings and signs; . Lack of negative impacts on adjacent properties or signs; and . Compliance with other provisions of the Sign Regulations. The size and location of the sign complies with Sign Code regulations. The Village's Traffic Engineer reviewed the proposal and found that the electronic message board would not adversely impact traffic. In addition, Staff found that the design of the proposed sign would not create a negative impact on adjacent properties. However, the two freestanding sign materials (proposed and existing Rand Road frontage sign) will no longer match. In order to ensure that the proposed sign is in keeping with the character of the neighborhood, Staff recommends that the base of the existing sign (Rand Road frontage) be modified to include a brick base. RECOMMENDA TION Based on review of the Village Code, the proposed sign meets the standards for a Special Use. Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Comn1Íssion approve the proposed Special Use to permit an electronic message board for the CYS ueestanding sign subject to the following conditions: 1. Remove the existing CYS sign on the Elmhurst Road uontage; 2. Modify the existing Rand Road uontage ueestanding sign so it has a brick base and matches the proposed fTeestanding sign; and 3. That the proposed sign comply with the standards listed in Sec. 7.330.A of the Sign Code. The Planning & Zoning Commission's decision is final for this case. I concur: 1J!l ." ~~ William J.

The special use will serve the public convenience at the location of the subject sign and will not be detrimental to or endanger the visibility, public safety, comfort or general welfare: The proposal will increase traffic safety through advanced notification of the store location and provide a positive contribution to future growth of this corridor. The relief, if granted, will not be materially detrimental to the health, safety, comfort or general welfare of other properties or improvements in the neighborhood. The proposed electronic message board is not a flashing, blinking, or scrolling sign. The message remains static for approximately 10-15 seconds. When the message changes, it is an instant change similar to that of a digital alann clock. However, the rate of message change can vary depending on a community's zoning ordinance or specific conditions of approval. Also, the proposed electronic message board displays time and temperature and will allow for timely notification of sales and services such as flu shots health and blood pressure screenings to efficiently meet the needs of customers and the community at large. It can also be used as a community communications resource. 2. The sign will be in harmony and scale with the architecture of the buildings in this development and with other signs in the neighborhood. The requested Special Use will not adversely affect or alter the essential character of the area. Not only is the size and placement of the signage consistent with the size and architecture ofthe building; it is also appropriately proportionate to the surrounding road speeds. This request allows CVS/phannacy to consider traffic safety issues, both of the surrounding area and within the site, without adversely affecting the overall commercial character currently being developed in this area. 3. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity of the subject property for the purposes already permitted; nor substantially diminish and impair other property valuations within the neighborhood; nor impair the visibility of adjacent signs. The addition of an electronic message board is the latest in technology and shows the true investment into the property that CVS/phannacy is making. In addition, this sign will eliminate any type of temporary signage that CVS/phannacy would nonnally seek approval for and would also ensure that the aesthetic appearance of the property is up to the Village ofMt. Prospect's high standards. The proposed variation will not affect the property values within the neighborhood. It will ensure the capability of the site as a CVS/phannacy contributing to the success of the corridor. The economic prosperity of this property will directly relate to the surrounding properties and benefit the other businesses. 4. The nature location and size of the sign involved with the establishment of the special use will not impede, substantially hinder, or discourage the installation of signs on adjacent property in accordance with the Sign Ordinance. CVS/phannacy is proposing to remove one (1) existing CVS/phannacy monument sign at this site and replace it with one (I) sign that incorporates the electronic message board into the sign. This sign will not discourage the installation of signs on any adjacent property. S. The special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the Sign Ordinance except as such regulations may, in such instance, be modified as provided by this Chapter. The sign will confonn to applicable regulations of the Sign Ordinance relative to height and sign area. 6. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances and the proposed special use will not merely serve as a convenience to the petitioner, but will alleviate some demonstrable and unusual hardship which will result if the strict letter of the regulations of this Chapter were carried out and which particular hardship or practical difficulty is not generally applicable to other comparable signs or properties. The hardship is unique to this property and not shared by other properties in this zone. The consolidating effect of the electronic message board means it can display messages in one location that might otherwise appear as a number of additional signs on the building or property. Its site-specific programming would infonn the public of values available on]y at this site and its ability to indicate community service events would not be allowed. Thus, the ability to instantly indicate infonnation beneficial to both this business and the community will not be allowed. This lack of flexibility and efficiency will negative]y impact the site's continued viability. The relief sought will be desirable and without substantial detriment to the public good. The electronic message board offers a more flexible, easier to read and maintain means of communicating that is also more aesthetically pleasing. The proposed use of this technology represents a considerable investment for CVS and reflects the importance of this community to them.
