3. KOHL’S AND SAM’S CLUB – PROPOSED MONUMENT SIGN

Assistant Manager Kalmar stated that a monument sign is being requested for Kohl’s and Sam’s Club. Staff does not feel the sign is warranted because the building setback is less than 780 feet, is clearly visible from the road and is a destination store. Natalie Martin from Kohl’s presented the drawing of the sign stating it would be 8’ tall x 6" wide with only Kohl’s and Sam’s Club on the sign. She feels a sign is necessary to mark the turn lane used to access the stores. Trustee Black suggested designing the sign to look like Kmart’s monument sign. Trustee Koch requested Sam’s letters to be blue, take off the logo and put on a neutral background. Trustee Hebda asked if Extended Stay was going to be on this sign. Trustee Koch noted that the letter dated June 5, 2000 from William Randolph Builders stated that Extended Stay will not be part of the sign. Motion by Trustee Black, second by Trustee Koch to approve the monument sign for Kohl’s and Sam’s Club as presented with Sam’s Club in blue lettering on a neutral background and removal of the logo. Roll call vote:

AYES: 4 – Black, Cashman, Hebda, Koch

NAYS: 0 – None

ABSENT: 2 – Ryg, Henley

Motion declared carried.

NAYS: 0 – None

ABSENT: 2 – Henley, Ryg

Motion declared carried.

5. BAJA BEACH CLUB JUICE BAR

Mark Khayat reported that the Sunday night "juice bar" has been successful and would like to open the club to teens throughout Lake County on other nights of the week. Mr. Khayat also stated he would like to hire teenagers to work on the inside to get hands-on experience of running a business and wants to create a forum for local artists and bands.

Trustee Koch noted that the previous management did not questions the age of the kids and did not want to expand the ordinance until the new management showed better discretion. He questioned how the 10:00 curfew would be enforced and Mr. Khayat stated the kids would have different color bracelets on.

Chief Fleischhauer stated that teen clubs usually do not work and are shut down. It is also difficult for management to control what goes on outside the club in the parking lot. Corporation Counsel Kenny stated that teen clubs are a difficult use for the Village to deal with.

Trustee Koch liked the idea of bracelets and also suggested a club ID with a photo. He would consider expanding it to add more schools but not countywide. Trustee Cashman agreed stating Vernon Hills does not need to fill the void for Lake County. President Byrne suggested bringing the topic back on July 11, 2000 after a more detailed plan is created.

AYES: 4 – Cashman, Hebda, Koch, Black

NAYS: 0 – None

ABSENT: 2 – Henley, Ryg

Motion declared carried.

Meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m.
