TO DENY PROPOSED SIGNS FOR CD for CD One Price Cleaners at 190 Waukegan Road.
ONE PRICE CLEANERS, 190
Board of Trustees meeting

WAUKEGAN ROAD The Appearance Review Commission held a
workshop meeting on April 28, 2014, to consider
the petitioner's request. They found the construction of the wall sign logos were not in keeping
with the Deerfield Zoning Ordinance. They also felt the signs did not have continuity. The
Appearance Review Commission voted 6-0 to deny the proposed signage. The Appearance
Review Commission along with John Streetz from Doyle Signs discussed alternate signs that
were more consistent with other signs in the Village. The commissioners voted 5-1 in favor of
the alternate signs.
Franchise owners Satish Vayuvegela and Cynthia Brooks stated they committed to the Village.
They signed a ten year lease and want to be an active part of the community. Mr. Vayuvegela
noted the signage is very important to them for brand recognition and to help their business
grow. He asked the Board to allow their corporate branding to be maintained.
John Streetz with Doyle Signs has worked with CD One Price Cleaners for many years. The
original proposal had a back -lit logo with blue halo lighting from behind as well as individually
illuminated channel letters. The proposal was within the branding guidelines of CD One Price;
however, the Appearance Review Commission felt the logo was 3-dimensional. Mr. Streetz does
not agree the silhouette logo is 3-dimensional. The request was amended at the Appearance
Review Commission meeting to get an approval. CD One -Price would like their original
proposal with the corporate branding approved.
Mr. Streetz noted that the logo was reduced slightly in height to be the same height as the
stacked letters in the approved signage. The letter size was reduced from 4 inches to 3.55 inches
in height. The individual letters are 1.575 inches in the fust line and 1.65 inches in the second
line.
Village Planner Jean Spagnoli noted the Appearance Review Commission found the proposed
sign was inconsistent with the Deerfield Zoning Ordinance. According to the Zoning Ordinance,
a sign face comprised of more than one element or signage panel must be located within the
same plane. Typically, this type of sign does not have two different light sources for a non-
anchor tenant. In Palatine, the CD One Price cleaner sign shows what the Appearance Review
Commission approved. In addition, the proposed monument sign is supposed to have a white
background for non -anchor tenants.
Mayor Rosenthal noted the Appearance Review Commission is good at what they do. The
proposed changes comply with the Village's criteria and she does not feel it would harm the
petitioner's business. Mayor Rosenthal thinks the Commission's objections are valid and
reasonable.
Trustee Nadler noted the monument sign already has a green panel. Mrs. Spagnoli stated the
anchor tenant is allowed a color but the other tenants must have a white background. Trustee
Jester noted the primary signage is a Zoning issue that would require a Public Hearing to change.
It is straight forward and consistent. Trustee Jester stated other monument signs in the Village
have different color backgrounds. This monument sign has one panel with a green background.

If the Panera green panel had a white background, he would be okay with all the panel
backgrounds being white. Ms. Spagnoli noted the anchor tenant is allowed to have color in
Cadwell's Comers. Trustee Struthers thinks the sign will look better with a white background.
Trustee Benton indicated he wants CD One Price Cleaners in the Village but believes they need
to accommodate the Village. Trustee Seiden does not believe having both a blue background
panel and a green background panel would look good.
Trustee Struthers moved to uphold the Appearance Review Commission's recommendation
regarding the lighting and wall sign for CD One Price Cleaners. Trustee Nadler seconded the
motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Farkas, Jester, Nadler, Seiden, Struthers (6)
NAYS: None (0)
Trustee Seiden moved to uphold the Appearance Review Commission's recommendation
regarding the monument sign. Trustee Struthers seconded the motion. The motion passed by the

AND FORMATION OF THE ILLINOIS
LAW ENFORCEMENT ALARM
SYSTEM BY INTERGOVERNMENTAL
A Resolution authorizing the execution of a law

Chief Sliozis noted Deerfield has been a
CORPORATION member of ILEAS since 2003. ILEAS consists of
900 members. This agreement provides legal
authority to be a member. This request has been reviewed by Village counsel and gives the
Village access to 900 other law enforcement agencies.
Trustee Jester moved approval of the Resolution. Trustee Struthers seconded the motion.
Trustee Struthers questioned whether the Village must pay to employ ILEAS support personnel.
Chief Sliozis stated membership costs $200 per year. The only additional cost is if Village
personnel were called to assist another agency. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Farkas, Jester, Nadler, Seiden, Struthers (6)
NAYS: None (0)
