Village approves larger monument sign for Village Bank & Trust on Northwest Highway
Summary
The board approved a sign variation allowing a 66‑square‑foot monument sign to replace two existing signs at 234 W. Northwest Highway; the new sign matches other larger signs along the corridor and includes landscaping requirements.
Trustees unanimously approved a sign variation on Sept. 2 permitting Village Bank & Trust at 234 W. Northwest Highway to replace two existing signs with one 66‑square‑foot ground sign, exceeding the 35‑square‑foot limit in the sign code. Leslie, a permit specialist for Omega Sign and Lighting representing the bank, said the consolidated sign will be more visible and aesthetically appropriate; staff told the board the proposed sign’s scale aligns with other signs along the Northwest Highway corridor and that the design received unanimous Design Commission support. Trustees asked about landscaping and visibility; staff said proposed plantings will be set at 24‑inch heights to avoid obscuring the sign. The board directed staff and the village attorney to prepare the final ordinance documents and conditions for the variation.
