The applicant’s attorney has provided a memo, dated September 15, 2026, that explains how they have complied with the conditions of the resolution. To provide some clarity for each condition, I will outline them below: a. The Applicant will provide the Planning Board with a Grand Opening Plan when appearing before the Planning Board for their approval on the business sign. The applicant’s memo states that they do not plan on having a Grand Opening Plan. PB to determine if that is acceptable. As for the sign, it was referred to the VEB and the VEB heard this application at their 09-08-2026 meeting. The VEB chair has provided a memo, dated 09-16- 2026, accordingly. The memo goes into depth on the VEB’s concerns regarding the signs. Note that there is an error in the applicant’s memo where he states “,..signage has already received the required architectural review and approval”. That is not true, they were before the VEB for their recommendation only, not approval. It is the PB’s responsibility to give final signage approval. The applicant should be prepared to discuss the VEB’s concerns at this meeting. Note that one of the VEB’s concerns was the illumination of the sign. Village Code § 230-44E(2) states that all light sources for illuminating signage shall be shielded and not be a source of glare. This shall be confirmed. Also, Village Code § 230-44E(3) gives the Planning Board the authority to request an illumination plan as well as the ability to regulate the number, placement, intensity, and hours of illumination of all light fixtures used for signage. b.
