Additional Ground Signs for Gateway Commons, 11900 Oak Creek Pkwy
Director of Development Services Charles Nordman reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported
that Huntley Gateway Commons Condominium Association, 11900 Oak Creek Pkwy, has submitted a sign
permit application for two (2) ±33 square foot double-sided directory ground signs that will list the businesses
within the two buildings at the Gateway Commons development. The proposed ground directory signs will
replace the recently removed pylon signs originally placed throughout the business park to identify the
businesses within the respective portion of the adjacent buildings. The two ground signs are to be installed
05.10.18 VB Minutes 1
adjacent to the driveways providing access to the site from Oak Creek Parkway, one on the east side of each
driveway.
The two matching aluminum, double-sided ground signs will each include a directory of the businesses for
Building A (the southernmost of the two Gateway Commons buildings) and the northernmost Building B.
The Gateway Commons business park site currently has two ground signs: one, a monument sign, located on
the west side of the site’s westernmost driveway entrance; and the other, a permanent real estate sign
advertising vacancies within the facility, located at the center of the site adjacent to Oak Creek Parkway.
Staff Analysis
The Village’s Sign Regulations, Section 156.124 Ground Signs (D) permits a single ground sign per lot and
(E) stipulates signs to be mounted on a masonry or stone base, with the width of that base to be no less than
50% of the width of the sign. Therefore the proposed ground signs require the following relief:
• A total of four (4) ground signs on the subject site.
• The ground signs to be mounted on pairs of three inch (3”) square posts rather than a masonry or stone
sign base with a width no less than 50% of the sign width.
Staff recommends the following conditions be added should the Village Board approve the request for
the two (2) Directory Signs:
1. The petitioner shall obtain a sign permit for the two (2) Ground Signs from the Development
Services Department upon receiving approval from the Village Board.
2. The Ground Signs shall be located no closer than ten (10’) feet from the property line.
3. The required landscaping (two square feet for every one square foot of signage) shall be installed
around the sign base.
4. The signs shall be maintained in good condition at all times.
Financial Impact
The petitioner must pay the applicable appeal and sign permit fees for the two ground signs.
Legal Analysis
The Village Board’s authorization for this request is required in accordance with Section 156.128 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Director Nordman reported that the petitioner is in attendance to answer questions.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Westberg stated his concern regarding the sign blocking the site line for drivers coming out on
the driveway. Director Nordman reported that staff will check the site lines prior to the installation.
Trustee Kanakaris asked if the temporary sign will be illuminated; the petitioner responded no that the
sign will not be illuminated.
There were no other comments or questions.

Farrell for the time spent in negotiating the successful contract for the Village’s Public Works

e) Consideration – An Ordinance Amending the FY2017 Budget
Director of Finance Cathy Haley reported that the Village of Huntley adopted Ordinance (O) 2017-12.62
approving the budget for Fiscal Year beginning January 1, 2017 and ending December 31, 2017. Based
upon FY2017 preliminary financials for the audit, a final year-end budget amendment is required.
Staff Analysis
FY2017 had four funds out of 21 total funds that require amendments. Those funds were the Capital
Projects Fund, the Cemetery Fund, the Liability Insurance Fund and SSA# 5. The following identifies
those individual line items subject to the budget amendment:
Account Increase/
Fund Number Type (Decrease) Revised Budget
Capital Projects Fund
PW-Capital Projects 02-10-4-7720 Expenditure $26,590 $108,715
Cemetery Fund
Cemetery Maintenance 45-05-2-6445 Expenditure $1,725 $11,725
Capital Projects 45-10-4-7500 Expenditure $1,500 $1,500
Liability Insurance
Fund
05.10.18 VB Minutes 9
MICA Loss 46-05-2-6395 Expenditure $18,000 $18,000
Special Service Area #5
Capital 50-10-4-7500 Expenditure $4,752 $10,752
As was anticipated and approved at the October 19, 2017 Village Board meeting, the Holiday Light
Decorations would require a budget amendment within the Capital Fund. While the fund absorbed some
of this purchase, the Capital Projects line item ended over budget, requiring this year-end amendment of
$26,590. It should be noted that revenues in the Capital Projects also came in well ahead of budgeted
parameters which overall had a positive impact of over $89,000 on fund balance.
The Cemetery Fund also exceeded budgeted expenditures with more activity during FY2017 than
originally anticipated. Revenues in the Cemetery Fund were also above budgeted parameters. This
increased fund balance by $14,329 more than the original budget expectations.
The Liability Fund went over due to claims being more than originally anticipated. However, there was
an offset to this expense on the revenue side of the equation. MICA requires the full payment of all
claims prior to issuing a reimbursement check to the Village for that portion covered by insurance.
Finally, Special Service Area #5 exceeded the original budget amount due to some follow-up
maintenance needed at the Southwind Wetland Area.
In total, this budget amendment equals $52,567, which is .19% of the total FY2017 budget for the
Village.
Financial Impact
The impact from the excess expenditures over appropriation adjustments will increase the budget
amount. However, these adjustments were included in staff projections during this past budget process
and have been incorporated into the Fund Balance projections for FY2018. None of these amendments
will affect the General Fund budget.
Legal Analysis
Sikich, the Village’s audit firm, has reviewed the amendment.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none.
