Sears Hardware Sign Variation Request
The first item of business involved discussion and
consideration of proposed signage for Sears Hardware located at
the George Gullo Shopping Center on Biesterfield Road.
Al Boffice explained the history of the development of the
current sign regulations. He also explained that the Village
agreed to approve a second freestanding sign for the Elk Crossing
Shopping Center as part of the land acquisition agreement for the
Biesterfield roadway improvements.
Nancy Ricchio of Sears explained that the Village Board told
her that the originally proposed freestanding sign for Sears
Hardware did not meet the Village's aesthetic standards and
wanted to know what those standards were.
Al Boffice explained that these were his recommendations and
comments for the Village Board to consider and further explained
the concept of the "Biesterfield Corridor".
Further discussion ensued regarding the original layout of
the shopping center location of access lanes and visibility of
the stores from Biesterfield Road. The general consensus of
those present was that a lower profile monument type sign within
or close to the maximum height allowed by our ordinance might be
an acceptable alternative.
Adam Bonislowski of Liberty Sign Company told the Committee
that he understood their concerns and would re-submit drawings
within the week that would address those concerns. Upon
submission of the drawings to staff, the Committee will consider
whether any variance is to be allowed.

Biesterfield Road Corridor Sign Regulations
The second order of business involved discussion of the
proposed special sign regulations for the Biesterfield Road
Corridor. Two businesses within the corridor wrote letters
objecting to the proposed ordinance indicating that it might
place them at a competitive disadvantage with businesses located
outside of the corridor. The Committee requested an opinion from
our attorney as to the legality of the ordinance if restricted
solely to the "Biesterfield Corridor".
The consensus of the Committee was to defer a recommendation
until Mr. Boffice checked with the Village attorney.
For Sale For Lease Sign Regulations
The next order of business involved discussing when the
revised sign regulations for leasing and for sale signs should go
into effect. The consensus of the Committee was to recommend a
three month "moratorium" on enforcement of the ordinance as to
existing signs as of the date of the enactment of the ordinance.
Al Boffice will check to see if a modification of the ordinance
is necessary.
O'Hare West Subdivision Proposal
The last order of business involved consideration of the
proposed O'Hare West Subdivision. Al Boffice explained the
details of the proposal to the Committee and explained that it
met all requirements and concerns of staff. The consensus of the
Committee was to recommend approval of the subdivision.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:37 P.M.
