CHAIR'S REPORT / PRESENTATIONS

Chair Conroy made the following remarks:

I want to give a shout out to our facilities and the building crews working on the projects at the

DuPage Care Center. A few Board Members and I had a chance to see the amazing

transformation that is well underway thanks to the funds dedicated by this Board. We truly are

going to be changing lives and creating a best-in-class physical environment that matches the

award-winning care our staff provides. I’m so thrilled to see the results. We owe a debt of

gratitude to the Care Center staff and the residents who are living with noise and dust…but based

on the renovations I’ve already seen; it will be well worth the effort. And I know our staff and

residents can’t wait to enjoy the newly outfitted spaces.

And speaking of renovations, tickets are going fast for the Raise the Woof fundraising gala that

takes place April 12 at the Abbington in Glen Ellyn. The project to expand our DuPage County

Animal Shelter is also well underway…making new space for people and pets that our staff

serve. Information about the project and fundraiser are available through the DuPage Animal

Friends and our DuPage County Animal Services websites. As always, we thank our volunteers,

donors, staff and all who contribute to the success of our Animal Shelter and the many services

we provide to keep people and pets safe in DuPage County.

Finally, on Friday, I was honored to attend the latest graduation of the Veterans Court. This

specialty court program provides counseling and court supervision for veterans charged with

certain criminal offenses, who qualify under the program guidelines. I was impressed with the

seven graduates, who told remarkable stories about how they got sober, got married, got jobs…

and how they got a second chance. These second chances mean everything to those who

complete our specialty court programs. I’d like to thank Judge Paul Marchese, who oversees the

Veterans Court, Chief Judge Bonnie Wheaton, probation, and court services staff. You are

making a tremendous difference in people’s lives.

WHEREAS, the Zoning Hearing Officer, having considered in relation to the above

requested zoning petition presented at the above hearing and at the recommendation meeting

held on January 10, 2024, does find as follows:

FINDINGS OF FACT:

A. That petitioner testified that he seeks the subject zoning relief to relocate an existing

billboard, increase the overall height of the subject sign, and change out a static

billboard panel to LED/electronic message center panel.

B. That petitioner testified that the size of the existing, single-faced sign is 14’ x 48’ and

that the proposed sign will be the same size and height as the existing, and that an

LED/electronic panel will be added to the backside of the static face, making the sign

double-sided.

C. That petitioner testified that the proposed LED/electronic message center panel will

refresh in accordance with IDOT regulations.

D. That petitioner testified that the proposed sign will only have eight (8) slots of

advertising.

E. That petitioner testified that directly to the north of the subject property is a firewood

sales business, directly to the east is a tire shop and then Swift Road, directly to the

south is a vacant property/parking lot, and directly to the west is an industrial

building.

F. That petitioner testified that due to the industrial and commercial buildings on both

sides of the subject property, they request to maintain the existing sign height of sixty

(60) feet to allow the sign to remain safely visible from the roadways.

G. That petitioner testified that the standard size of most billboards is 14’ x 48’ and that

the proposed sign will match the existing sign’s size, and that the only different will

be an added LED/electronic message center sign panel, making the sign double-faced.

H. That petitioner testified that the proposed sign will be dimmable, and that the

brightness automatically adjusts depending on the time of day/weather near the

proposed sign.

I. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has demonstrated evidence for a

practical difficulty and unique circumstance in carrying out the strict letter of

regulations of the Zoning Ordinance, as the existing billboard sign does not meet the

current zoning regulations and that in order to remove and replace the existing

billboard petitioner requires the requested zoning relief.

STANDARDS FOR VARIATIONS AND CONDITIONAL USES:

*Per Zoning Code Section 37-1411.3

1. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has demonstrated that the granting of
