The Village Board approved deferral of this item from the April 1, 2014 VILLAGE Village Board meeting to the April 15, 2014 Village Board meeting by a vote of 6 -0. Mayor Juracek presented for a first (1 reading An Ordinance to Amend the Special Use for Large Scale Development Signs Granted in Ordinance No. 5705 and Amended in Ordinance No. 5874 and Ordinance No. 5821 and Grants Variations for the Randhurst Village Planned Unit Development located at 999 North Elmhurst Road. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the amendment and variations by a vote of 4 -2. Community Development Director Bill Cooney provided background information stating the Petitioner, Randhurst Village, is seeking approval to amend the Special Use for large scale development signs and associated variations in order to replace the freestanding sign and add new signs. The Petitioner proposes to replace the existing freestanding sign located in the roundabout by the hotel. The new freestanding sign would consist of eleven (11) tenant panels and an electronic messages center. The Petitioner also intends to add a wall mounted electronic message center on the tower feature of the building currently occupied by TJ Maxx. The Petitioner is seeking variations to allow electronic message centers with continuous play, animation (video) and multiple colors, graphics and font. A new freestanding sign would be placed along Center Drive; just to the northeast corner of TJ Maxx. The sign would be designed as a metal arc and consist of twelve (12) tenant panels. The Petitioner is also seeking variations to allow two (2) directory signs measuring up to fifty (50) square feet each. By a vote of 4 -2 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the following requests subject to the condition of mock versions of the electronic message centers be reviewed prior to approval. 1. An Amendment to the Special Use for Large Scale Development Signs granted in Ordinance No. 5705 and amended in Ordinance No. 5821 and Ordinance No. 5874, for the Randhurst Planned Unit Development. 2. A Variation to allow electronic message centers consisting of animation (video), multiple colors, graphics and fonts. 3. A Variation to allow electronic message centers with continuous display. Mr. Cooney stated by a vote of 6 -0 the Planning and Zoning Commission continued the following variation requests: 1. A Variation to increase the number of directory signs from one (1) to two (2) per lot. 2. A Variation to increase the size of directory signs to fifty (50) square feet. Mr. Cooney stated the Village continually works with Casto in their efforts to improve how the mall functions. He indicated due to the unique characteristics of Randhurst Village staff is supportive of the Amendment to the Special Use ordinance and variations. The proposed signs will be placed internally and aim at better indentifying tenants and directing traffic towards the Main Street shops. 5of10 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the April 15, 2014 Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Cooney stated there were no changes in illumination and the backside of the sign by Hampton Inn would be blank. Trustee Rogers expressed his concern with the proposed animated graphics; primary concern is safety issue. Animated signage a distraction to drivers /pedestrians. Allowing this type of signage will set precedent; other businesses will want animated graphics. Mr. Cooney stated the Planning and Zoning Commission had a similar discussion regarding the use of animated graphics. Village Code addresses this type of signage on roadway where cars are travelling at higher rates of speed. At sign location cars will be travelling ten (10) mph or less; less likely to be a safety issue. Mr. Cooney indicated this type of signage is seen more often believes will grow in usage. As this sign is a unique usage — sign is internal would not be setting precedent. Randhurst road setback is also unique to other properties. Village Board Comments -Sign will benefit Randhurst Village tenants not visible from the street. -Concern with nits 'luminous intensity'; bright light impairment to driving at night and when raining. ■Signage — evolving; retail corridor needs to stay contemporary Mr. Peter Theodore, Randhurst Village Architect and Mr. John Hutchens, Randhurst Asset Manager, were in attendance to provide additional information and respond to questions. In response to questions regarding the proposed animated sign Mr. Theordore provided detailed information regarding; artistic design, lettering and monitors /illumination As an architect with projects throughout the United States, Mr. Theodore stated this type of signage is appearing in communities across the nation. However, the artistic design of the Randhurst Village sign Is like no other; all features of signs are of the best quality. The signage has proven beneficial in those communities and believes the proposed signage will enhance visibility of tenants inside of mall and direct traffic to Main Street. In addressing the safety concern (driver distraction) with animated graphics he stated the location of the proposed signs are approximately two -three (2- 3) football fields away from the road. Consultation with traffic engineers indicate car accidents related to animated signage typically occur when signage is near roadway. Petitioner is committed to making necessary adjustments as the mall evolves. The request for signage and variations is to make sure consumers know Randhurst Village is the best shopping destination. Mr. Theodore requested Village Board approval for Amendment to Special Use and variations for electronic message centers. He stated a mockup for the Village Board (view speed /illumination) will be conducted prior to installation. Village Board Comments -View sign as contemporary artwork. ■Concern sign will be distraction to drivers; back up traffic. -Sign will bring consumers to Main Street; many people still do not know it is there. -Use of Main Street will also make drivers aware of roadway between TJ Maxx and Carsons. -Additional signage still needed; font size legible to drivers. -Petitioner is doing a great job reacting to evolution of mall; enhancements focused on bringing consumers to mall. -Increased signage — overall improvement to navigating through mall; learning more than one way in and out. Noting the on -going negative feedback regarding the Randhurst Village traffic pattern the Village Board questioned what modifications could be made to improve traffic flow; ring road. Mr. Cooney responded he is working with Mr. Jim Conroy, Casto, to modify the ring road. Mr. Hutchens, stated he has been with the project since its inception; as development has and continues to evolve will make further enhancements. 6of10 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the April 15, 2014 Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect Immediate focus to bring consumers to mall; effective signage and modifications to ring road.
