This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Director Turk informed the commissioners that the property owner is not informing the tenants of the uniform sign requirements established by the Plan Commission; and, therefore, Simply Different sign as proposed does not meet the building’s sign plan, which requires red channel set lettering. Ms. Martens addressed the commissioners. She indicated that she had not received sign information from the property owner. She asked the commissioners for a resolution that would allow her to install a sign that would meet the requirements and, keep the investment minimal. Alderman Le Doux moved to amend resolution to wherein the first Be It Resolved would read as follows: “THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of 3 foot by 6-foot non-illuminated signage sign with red channel set letters for Simply Different in the Westwood Centre located at S75 W17321 Janesville Road.” Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Commissioner Hulbert would like a letter sent to the owner requesting to see what he is handing out, otherwise, they may not be granting him any more approvals because he is not in compliance.
