A public hearing will be held before the Board of Trustees of the Village of Huntley upon the

MOTION: Trustee Goldman
SECOND: Trustee Westberg
The Voice Vote noted all ayes and the motion carried.
Mayor Sass reported that the proposed second amendment to the Par Development Inc./Tucker
Development Corporation and Harris N.A. Annexation Agreement is requested to allow monument
signs up to ten (10) feet in height on Huntley Grove Outlots 1 through 3 and Outlots 5 and 6. The
amendment will also reduce the required setback from fifty (50) feet to ten (10) feet for the subject
Outlots.
The request will accommodate the 7’-11¼” tall ground sign proposed on Outlot 5 for the Panera
restaurant and will also allow a recent request by the owner of the Outlot 6 multi-tenant retail center to
increase the height of its sign from six (6) feet to ten (10) feet. The proposed amendment also applies to
the remaining vacant lots within the Huntley Grove commercial subdivision (Outlots 1-3).
Staff Analysis
09.28.17 VB Minutes 1
The Annexation Agreement currently allows the Huntley Grove Outlots to have a single monument sign
with a height not to exceed six (6’) feet and requires a setback of fifty (50) feet from the Route 47 right-
of-way and twenty-five (25) feet from the Kreutzer Road right-of-way. The proposed amendment to
increase the monument sign height to ten (10) feet and reduce the minimum required setback to ten (10)
feet is consistent with the amended annexation agreement recently approved for Huntley Crossings
Phase II. The required public hearing for the amendment will be conducted on September 28th at the
Village Board meeting.
Legal Analysis
The Village Attorney has reviewed the proposed amendment and all is in order for Village Board
consideration.
Mayor Sass asked if there was anyone from the Public that wished to make a comment; there were none.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions. Trustee Leopold stated that it
was a good idea as there are a couple signs on Route 47 that cannot be read from the street.
A MOTION was made at 7:04 p.m. to close the Public Hearing.
