Bonduel trustees table sign application for Manik Motorz after design objections
Summary
The board postponed approval of a sign for Manik Motorz at 201 W Green Bay Street because final dimensions were not submitted and Trustee Michelle Streetman objected to the design as "very disrespectful," saying it appeared to mock mental health.
The Village Board on June 11 tabled a signage application for Manik Motorz Service & Repair at 201 W Green Bay Street after the Plan Commission's recommendation and public discussion. The board deferred action because the applicant had not supplied the final sign dimensions; trustees agreed to reconsider the application once dimension details are provided.
Trustee Michelle Streetman raised concerns about the sign's design and message, saying she found it "very disrespectful" and that the imagery and company name, which includes the word "manic," appear to mock mental-health conditions. Streetman said she sees the sign's "creepy grin" as mocking people with mental health issues. Other trustees moved to table the item until the final dimensions are verified.
The minutes show the item was tabled by unanimous motion; the applicant must submit final dimensions before the board resumes consideration. No formal signage denial was recorded; the matter will return to the board for final action once required details are provided.
