The site is located at 10560 N. Michigan St. and is zoned 1-1. Filed by Jerry Knoop of Auto Outfitters. Jerry Knoop, Auto Outfitters, 10560 North Michigan Road appeared before the Committee representing the applicant. Auto Outfitters is proposing an awning to be placed on the southeast wall facing Michigan Road with vinyl graphics on the front. Currently there is no signage on this fayade. Auto Outfitters is also requesting approval for a wall sign for Darrings Detail on the southwest wall facing Northwestern Drive. Currently there is no signage. The current ground sign references only Auto Outfitters and would be re-Iabeled as a multi- tenant sign with the addition of Darrings Detail below Auto Outfitters. Department Report, Christine Barton-Holmes: The Department prefers individual, illuminated letters; the awning is acceptable. The Department is recommending positive consideration. The committee discussed the merits of canvas versus vinyl materials for the awning. The committee also felt that the sign would stand out more if the existing structure were painted red to match the logo; the yellow canopy against the salmon color on the stucco finish building would not stand out. The petitioner responded that the building was recently painted and it was doubtful that it would be painted again soon. Wayne Haney made formal motion to approve Docket No. 07050011 ADLS Amend, Auto Outfitters, seconded by Susan Westermeier. The vote was two in favor, two opposed (Heber, Westermeier) for a no-decision vote--petitioner will return to Committee on June 28, 2007. ~,', ',' ,"-,_,_ ',', '-c:='-=:~~~_>~'-.:_~,- :'~~-:'-"_~-;~'~~>',-:~:;'/'-~:':T"'-'-~"~"-- ~ltP-WDLS:AtAenffi::'Neftlf;Nleridi~Medmw~~ ~:,'::<- ",~ ,-,~~~!
