SUBJECT: 206 Main Street Wall Sign
DATE: November 3, 2005
Pramual
This is a proposal for a new wall sign to be located on the west building elevation of 206
Main Street.
Eraluatlon
There are several criteria listed in the Lemont Zoning Ordinance (§XV.D.5.a -g) regarding
signs in the Downtown District that must be met before approval can be given. I have listed
the standards and then my evaluation of the sign in regards to the standards.
Number - The number of signs on multi-tenant buildings may exceed the limit of one sign
per secondary side of a building, provided the total gross surface area of all signs complies
with the applicable sections of this ordinance.
In this case the applicant is asking for one sign brat will include all the tenants. They meet
__the zoning standard.
Location - Wall signs shall be located on the first floor level, except where there are no
window or door openings on a side or rear elevation, or where the adjacent street level is
higher than the first floor level. Wall signs shall not project more than eight inches from the
wall, nor shall it project higher than the bottom of the window sills of the second floor or
other second floor architectural features of the building whichever is Tess.
The proposed Racation of the sign on the wall is the second floor level This would be
permitted because both State Street and Illinois Street are higher than the Kist floor tea/.
The sign does not project more than eight inches from the wall My interpretation of the
Zoning Ordinance would require the sign to have a lower placement on the wall so the sign
does not project higher than the bottom of the window sills of the second floor
Memorandum - conrmin
Development I)epa tmen
1
Height - Wall signs shall be mounted no higher than the lowest sill of the second building
floor level and shall not project closer than one foot from the parapet of a building. Roof
mounted signs are not permitted.
As noted above, my Interpretation of the sign ordinance would require the sign placement to
be lower on the wall.
Gross surface area - Total maximum area of a wall sign or wall signs on a front or corner
side (Le., a building side adjacent to a public street) elevation shall not exceed two square
feet per lineal foot of building or storefront width along the street, or sixty square feet,
whichever is Tess.
In this case the maximum square footage allowance of 60 square feet is less that the
allowed two square feet per lineal foot of budding. Since the petitioner's request is for a 32
square foot sign (4'X89 this standard as met.
Lighting - Wall signs may be illuminated by a source of lighting external to the sign or
may be illuminated by fixtures within the sign structure, provided that not more than 20
percent of the gross surface area of the sign shall be internally illuminated (i.e., 80 percent
shall be opaque). Decorative exterior lighting fixtures or "reverse channel letter" designs
shall be the preferred methods of illumination.
No lighting source Is shown on the submittal. The Commission should confirm if there will be
any lighting of the sign.
Materials - Visible materials on wail signs shall be wood, metal, or masonry, or a
combination. Plastic and other synthetic materials shall not be permitted except as a
material for alphanumeric characters and logos on routed signs.
The sign will be made of wood. The materials standard is met.
Other conditions - Mural Signs shall not be placed on primary facade, only on secondary
and/or rear building walls. A mural sign shall be subject to the same restrictions on gross
surface area as a conventional wall sign.
This standard does not apply.
Staff Comments and Recommendation
After review, I feel the proposed sign is in compliance with the requirements of the Lemont
Zoning Ordinance, Section XV.D.5.a -g. Therefore, I recommend approval of the proposed
sign with the following condition:
1. The proposed location of the sign shall be lowered on the wall so the sign does not
project higher than the bottom of the window sills of the second floor.
2. Details about how the sign will be lit shall be provided for Historic Preservation
Commission review and approval.

RE: Signage Request for 206 Main Street
To Whom It May Concern:
I am requesting Village and Historical Department approval for a new sign to be installed on my
building at 206 Main Street. The sign will be 4 feet tall by 8 feet long and approximately 2 Yz inches
deep. Construction will be plywood mounted to pressure- treated 2x4's. It will be painted burgundy, tan,
and hunter green as laid out in the attached rendering. The colors will be identical to the colors currently
painted on the trim of the building. The sign itself is for the advertisement of companies within the
building and is similar in design to other signs presently within the historical district. The base of the sign
will allow us to advertise for 4 separate companies. The attached rendering shows the sign with the first
2 companies on it. The remaining 2 spaces would be reserved for new companies. The location is
shown in the attached plat and photo. It will be located in the same place that the previous building
owners had a 4' x 8' sign mounted. The sign will be permanently attached to the building with lag bolts
to ensure safety and stability. It will be mounted on the West side of the building. Please see
attachments for additional specific information.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
206 Main Street Suite 200 Lemont, Illinois 60439 -4294
