Aldermen deny proposed three‑sided signage for Prairie Encore, remove item from consent agenda
Summary
The board voted to deny a request to allow signage on three sides of the Prairie Encore building, finding the proposed additional signage excessive; item 5 was removed from and denied on the consent agenda.
During consideration of the consent agenda, a board member asked to remove item 5 for discussion. The discussion focused on proposed signage for the Prairie Encore building; concerns centered on whether signage on three sides was excessive, particularly given visibility from the highway and adjacent roadways.
One alderman argued the three‑sided signage was unnecessary; other aldermen and a resident described the proposed signs as decorative and backlit but not gaudy. After discussion, Alderman Ney moved to deny the item as stated in the master plan, the motion was seconded, a roll-call vote was taken and the motion passed. The signage request was denied and removed from the consent agenda.
What’s next: The denial removes the proposed signage as presented; the applicant may revise the proposal and return to the board or pursue other administrative options.
