REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MIlNUTES: <br />M. Yager moved to accept the minutes of April 17, 1996, seconded by T. Gallagher, and unauimously <br />approved. <br />III. SIGNS: (Added to agenda) <br />Mr. Liggett would like people who are presenting signs to make a drawing locatuig all the signs so the <br />board will know where the signs will be on the bu.ilding. The members would also like to have some <br />pictures of the entire building and a complete address. <br />The Magic Unicorn, logo on.wall sign. , <br />Mr. Woost, sign coutractor, advised that this business is going into the former Convenient Food Mart <br />near the Park Ridge and Forest Ridge developments, however, this sign will be smaller than the old <br />Convenient sign. Mr. Zergott is coneerned that the area where the old sign had been removed will show <br />on the cedar roof and questioned if it were to be re-stained. Mr. Woost stated that this would be up to <br />the landlord, he only had to present this because of the logo, but the :sign had already been removed and <br />he had not noticed any damage. W. Zergott stated that the city is trying to get away from cartoon type <br />logos. Mr. Yager is concerned about the additional "stuff' on the signs and even though this board <br />discusses it, it never gets removed. Mr. Rymarczyk stated that the board has been asked to review the <br />logo on the sign, not the verbiage. Mr. Yager believed that the "'I'he Magic Unicorn Coffee House" was <br />sugicient, and questioned the necessity of the wards "A Different Place to Go" and the logo. He <br />thought the style of the print indicated the theme, and he thought maybe the logo could be incorporated <br />into the words. Mr. Liggett believed that the unicorn was a cartoon character, and agreed it was an <br />intriguing letter style. Mr. Gallagher believed. that it was almost the right of an owner to use his logo. <br />Mr. Yager stated that, at one time, the board intended to completely elimiuate logos, but then Mr. <br />Zergott advised that the city only wanted to eliminate the cartoon logos. Since this board only <br />recommends, they cannot completely reject logos. Mr. Yager would like to eliininate the words "A <br />Different Place To Go". Mrs. Krieger agreed. M. Yager moved to accept the sign for the Magic <br />Unicorn with the following adjustments: no logo and that the words "A Different Place to Go" be <br />eliminated and as long as it fits into the city's parameters for size, they can adjust the lettering to fit. The <br />motion was seconded by S. Krieger, and unanimously approved. <br />The Goddess Elite, 23140 Loraiu Road Mr. Rymarczyk explained that the sign had been installed with the logo of a goddess. This is in a strip <br />center where all the signs are different. It was decided that the words "Gifts for a New Age" were <br />necessary because no one would know what they do without them. B. Zergott moved to accept the <br />Goddess Elite sign without the face. The motion was seconded by T. Gallagher, and unanimously <br />approved.
