With the establishment of more stringent architectural codes and a review board to oversee them, the village no longer allows for internally lit signs and informed the public during their work session Monday (March 1) night that, as of now, it will make no exceptions to that rule.
Mayor Thomas Moses Sr. told Tara Weller, a representative of Dairy Queen on Lake Street, that the ice cream store would need to erect an externally lit sign if she were to replace the broken one that is currently sitting in front of the business.
“If we start changing how we’re trying to do things mid-stream than we might have a problem in the future,” Moses said.
A few businesses have already realized that their requests for internally lit signs will not pass through the Architectural Review Committee and not get approval from the board, so they have decided to make revisions to their sign designs to comply.
“If we make an exception on just one, than there is no consistency and no use for even having the laws,” Trustee Mark Colmerauer noted.
Village Attorney Edward Murphy III said Walgreens and Fast Track Quick Lube initially had plans for internally illuminated signs but both plans were being approved at Monday’s meeting only because the signs are now externally lit.
