The President and Board discussed the request from Lynda J. Khan, an

before the Plan Commission for a Text Amendment to Section 5.42(c) of the
Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed Text Amendment would remove the following Conditional Uses
from B-1, Zoning Districts: Swimming Pools, Ice Skating and Roller Rinks,
and Coin Operated Amusement Centers.
Mrs. Alyce Gilarsky, a Village resident addressed the Board regarding this
issue and spoke in favor of a roller rink being installed on the "old"
Jewel location in the Grove Mall . Her speech is attached hereto and made
a part hereof.
An Attorney, representing the Grove Mall owner, spoke in opposition to a
roller rink and requested the opportunity to present evidence to the
Village Board if they do not feel a public hearing before the Plan
Commission would be the correct forum.
A resident from the Village of Bensenville spoke to the Board encouraging
the acceptance of the proposed roller skating rink.
The Board discussed the proposed ordinance regarding coin operated
amusement devices in its relation to being an accessory use to a roller
skating rink.
It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that the

Plan Commission to conduct a public hearing for a Text Amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on
the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE:

none; whereupon the President voted "NAY" and declared the motion did not
pass.
It was the consensus of the Board that they meet as a Committee-of-the-
Whole to discuss this item. After a date for the meeting has been
established, Staff will notify the proper interested parties.
Mr. Steve Gayas, Marketing Manager for Marathon Oil Company, addressed the
Board regarding a request from Marathon Oil for a sign variation for their
service station located at the corner of Rohlwing Road and Devon Avenue.
This service station is now in the process of being remodeled and will be
opened with a new lease holder. The sign variation as requested would be
for an increase in the size of the sign per face, the height and ground
clearance.
Mr. Gayas stated that they could adjust the ground clearance of the sign
and meet the 10-foot requirement, however, they cannot meet the height
requirment of 18-feet, since the sign is prefabricated for Marathon Oil
Company and has a height of 22-feet when installed with a ground clearance
of 10-feet.
Since the recommendation from Staff to deny this request was based on the
height and ground clearance variation the only remaining problem would be
the overall height of the sign.
It was moved by Trustee Tosto that the sign variation be granted as
requested. The motion failed for the lack of a second.
Discussion followed regarding the line of sight for this location and the
proximity of a residential area which may be affected by the illumination
of a sign that would be 22-feet in height as requested.
It was determined that the sign could be erected to a height of 18-feet as
permitted by code if the ground clearance would be reduced to 5-feet
2-inches.

It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that the
Board grant the siergn variation to Marathon Oil Company for a sign to be

Avenue with a height of 18-feet and ground clearance of 5-feet 2-inches,
with the stipulation that if the Fire Department or the Police Department
should, at any time, find a problem with the line of sight at this
intersection due to the low ground clearance the reader board portion of
the sign would be removed. The President directed the Clerk to call the
roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered
AYE: Trustees Petri , Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick, Czarnik, Gallitano; NAY:
none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

Mr. Tom Holland, representing Sign Design Company addressed the Board
regarding the request from Pacific Sakata Development Inc. , 651 Bonnie
Lane, for a sign variation for a monument sign that would be a total
increase in size of 30 square feet.

Pacific Sakata Inc.

on this request until Mr. Holland has time to discuss the Board' s concerns
with Pacific Sakata Development officials.
