LEGAL & LICENSING — Alderman Brookman, Chair
Alderman Smith presented Ordinance M-7-18, Consideration of Amendment to
Title 4 "Business Regulations", Chapter 7 "Tobacco Dealers", Section 3
"Restrictions Relating to Minors", of the Des Plaines City Code Regarding the
Sale, Use, and Possession of Alternative Nicotine Products.
Police Chief Kushner explained the city code does not currently regulate the sale,
use and possession of alternative nicotine products. A request was made by
Maine Township High School District 207, to include in the city code, the sale,
use, and possession of these products. The proposed code change is due to an
increase in alternative nicotine products with local youth under the age of
eighteen (18). The proposed changes also include an alternative penalty. If the
minor is a first-time offender and is enrolled as a full-time student, the student
may be assigned to a diversion and education program that is approved by Maine
Township High School District 207.
Moved by Sayad, seconded by Chester to amend Ordinance M-7-18 to change
"under the age of eighteen (18) years to under the age of twenty-one (21) years".

Commissions.

adequately insured.

Commission ordinance to reflect their current activities and make sure that the
commission is adequately insured and present a new Ordinance to reflect the
necessary changes.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — Alderman Sayad, Chair
Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed a
memorandum dated April 27, 2018.
The applicant, Nick Prager, has requested a Conditional Use Permit for a
Localized Alternative Sign Regulation in order to install three monument signs
and five wall signs at 1750 Elmhurst Road. The approximately 4.55 acre site is
home to Asbury Court Retirement Community and is accessed by entrances off
of Elmhurst Road and Oakton Street. Asbury Court has recently completed a
major addition to the building resulting in a larger, more modern facility. The
proposed new signage is meant to aesthetically enhance the site and make access
easier for residents and visitors. There are currently no other Asbury Court signs
on the property.
The petitioner proposes to install three freestanding signs on the site. Two of these
signs are monument signs and one is a pole sign. The monument sign is proposed
to be 12 feet wide and 6 feet high. This sign will help direct visitors to the correct
part of the facility. The pole sign proposed for the Elmhurst Road entrance to the
site. This sign will also be 6 feet by 12 feet. The final monument sign and is
proposed for the Oakton Street entrance. This sign will also be 6 feet by 12 feet.
In total, five wall signs are proposed for the site. Three are channel letter wall
signs and two are signs on awnings. One sign is proposed to be located on the
western end of the south facade of the existing building and has a dimension of
7.6 feet by 15.2 feet, for a total of 115.5 square feet. Sign two is proposed for the
northeast corner of the new addition, on the east facade that is visible to cars
traveling west on Oakton Street. This sign is proposed to be 4.7 feet by 9.4 feet,
(Cont.)
Page 9 of 13 05/07/18
for a total of 44.2 square feet. Sign three is proposed for the northwest corner of
the new addition, on the west facade that is visible to cars traveling east on Oakton
Street. This sign is also proposed to be 4.7 feet by 9.4 feet, for a total of 44.2
square feet.
The following exceptions to the zoning code are requested as part of this
Conditional Use for a Localized Alternative Sign Regulation:
• Three freestanding signs, when only one is permitted per code. The total
size of the lot and the amount of street frontage only allows one
freestanding sign for the site.
• Wall signs totaling 245 square feet in area, when 125 square feet are
permitted per business occupancy.
The Planning and Zoning Board, recommended (6-0) that the City Council
approve the Conditional Use Permit.
Staff recommended approval of Ordinance Z-8-18 granting a Conditional Use for
a Localized Alternative Sign Regulation in order to install three monument signs
and five wall signs at 1750 Elmhurst Road.
Moved by Charewicz, seconded by Rodd to Approve the Conditional Use Permit
for a Localized Sign Regulation at 1750 Elmhurst Road; and further recommend
that Ordinance Z-8-18 be adopted at the appropriate time this evening. Upon
voice vote, motion declared carried.
MAJOR Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed a
VARIATION/ memorandum dated April 27, 2018.
SIGNS/
2700 S RIVER The applicants, Rob Whitehead and Matt Pyter of Olympic Signs, have requested
ROAD: a Major Variation in order to install three wall signs facing I-294 (the Tri-State
Tollway) at 2700 S. River Road. For buildings located on lots with frontage on
an interstate highway, only one (1) wall sign is permitted per face that is visible
from the highway, with no more than two (2) allowed per building. As the
applicants are proposing three on the same facade, a variation is required.
Currently there are no wall signs on the four-story office building. There is an
existing multi -tenant sign on S. River Road. The applicants propose three wall
signs for the west facade of the building, facing the highway. This side of the
building is 260 feet wide. One sign, identifying the tenant Hawk Search, is
proposed for the north corner of the west facade and is 121.24 square feet in size.
One sign, identifying the tenant ROC Commerce, is proposed for the south corner
of the west facade and is also 121.24 square feet in size. The applicants would
like approval for a third sign, to be located in the middle of this facade, that will
be no larger than 125 square feet. This space would be left available for a future
tenant.
The Planning and Zoning Board, recommended (6-0) that the City Council
approve the Major Variation to allow three (3) wall signs facing I-294 (the Tri-
State Tollway).

Hank Kolak from Hanlin Management Inc., owner of the subject property, has
filed a business assistance application for the property at 81-83 Broadway Street
requesting approval for a multi -unit facade grant in the amount of $16,475 and
for an awning grant in the amount of $2,988.75 for a total request of $19,463.75.
The applicant intends to spend a total of $36,935 to renovate the exterior of the
property. Specifically, the applicant plans to replace the existing doors and
windows with new modern storefront windows and full -glass doors and install
new awnings. The building is partially vacant and it is believed that the
reinvestment will help modernize the building and attract new businesses. All
materials and proposed improvements meet the Building Design Standards as
found in the Zoning Ordinance.
The total cost of work for the facade improvements is $36,935 based on the quote
provided from the selected contractor. TheMulti-Unit Retail Grant Program is a
50% matching grant for eligible building improvements. Under the Awning
Program, the matching portion is 75% of the project total. Based upon the size of
the building and cost of the two projects, the property qualifies for the requested
amount of $19,463.75.
