PLAN COMMISSION<br />

VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD<br />

APPROVED<br />

The Plan Commission <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Village</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Deerfield</strong> held a Workshop Meeting at 7:30 P.M.<br />

on January 13, 2011 at the <strong>Village</strong> Hall, 850 Waukegan Road, <strong>Deerfield</strong>, Illinois.<br />

Present were: Michael Swartz, Chairman<br />

Larry Berg<br />

Elaine Jacoby<br />

Discussion <strong>of</strong> recommendation for <strong>Deerfield</strong> Community Nursery School.<br />

Chairman Swartz explained that the current text in the Zoning Ordinance was written for<br />

the Christian Beginnings nursery school wall sign at the First Presbyterian Church. He<br />

asked if the Plan Commission wants the proposed new Text Amendment to allow a<br />

nursery school located in a house <strong>of</strong> worship to have either a wall sign or a ground sign,<br />

or both.<br />

Commissioner Berg noted the petitioners are not requesting a wall sign and they only<br />

want a ground sign.<br />

Commissioner Nadler said he has no problem with the proposed ground sign. He is<br />

concerned about the possibility <strong>of</strong> having an empty ground sign on the property if the<br />

nursery school decides to relocate. He questioned if the Text Amendment would be<br />

exclusive to the Christ United Methodist Church property. Mr. Ryckaert explained the<br />

Text Amendment is written so it applies to places <strong>of</strong> worship which are Special Uses in<br />

residential districts.<br />

Commissioner Shapiro said he believes the proposed Text Amendment should be<br />

written so that a nursery school located in a house <strong>of</strong> worship would be permitted to<br />

have either a wall sign or a ground sign, not both. He believes the proposed Text<br />

Amendment should apply to all nursery schools located in a house <strong>of</strong> worship, not just<br />

the <strong>Deerfield</strong> Community Nursery School located in the Christ United Methodist Church.<br />

Mr. Ryckaert said the proposed Text Amendment for the ground sign will apply in the<br />

residential districts, where houses <strong>of</strong> worship are allowed as Special Uses. Chairman<br />

Swartz said the Text Amendment would apply to any nursery school located in a house
