Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Heisler, to pass the.ordinance granting
a modification from the sign provisions of the Zoning Ordinance with respect to
the property commonly knowp as Lake -Cook Office Centre, 1415 Lake -Cook Road.
Trustee'Seidman was adamantly opposed tQ the granting of the sign modification to
permit a 10'x20' sign, He reported thae-he had driven up and down Lake -Cook Rd.
three times during the last two weeks to examine distances, had looked at all
signs along Lake -Cook Rd. as far as Northbrook Court, and.had compared the
petitioner's request with smaller signs, such as on- the Flodstrom site. He
stated;fhat a sign erected at the midpoint -of the property would be one -tenth
of a mile from each end, and that since he had found he could read a 5'x10'
sign from a quarter of a mile away (the full length of the petitioner's front-
age), he saw no necessity for a larger sign. He stated he feared the larger
sign would set a precedent for other such signs -along Lake -Cook Rd. as build=
ling requests come in. ,
Trustee.-Marty responded that the sign requested was only temporary. Trustee
Seidman:replied that it would be up three years and that the petitioner's .
testimony had not proved the necessity for a large sign... only that they want-
ed one. He, therefore, felt there was no justification for granting the request..
The motion to grant the sign modification carried.on the following vote:
