She also referred to the Village’s Sign Code as well as to Village Design Guidelines the Board is to 35 consider. 36 Chairperson Moor asked if there were any questions. Ms. Niehoff referred to the backlit lighting and questioned 37 how it would operate. Frank Lambert, representing the applicant from the design sign company, responded that it 38 would be halo or reverse backlit lighting. Ms. Niehoff also asked for the reasoning for the 18-inch size. Ms. Kirincic 39 explained in terms of the design guideline recommendations. Mr. Lambert explained the limitations of how the 40 letters are fabricated and noted the lower-case lettering would be smaller, with only a few letters measuring 18 41 inches. Ms. Niehoff described it as massive. Mr. Lambert estimated the smaller letter height to be 14 inches and 42 stated that samples were previously provided to the Board for their review. He also described the LED wattage 43 that would be used. Ms. Kirincic provided the Board with additional information. 44 45 Chairperson Moor asked if there were any other questions. She indicated the letter size appeared to be a 46 manufacturing issue. Ms. Niehoff commented that the letter size did not seem appropriate and referred to its scale 47 in relation to neighboring buildings. Chairperson Moor asked for a motion to approve the application as submitted 48 or for the applicant to conduct further investigation to determine whether the sign could be scaled to meet the 49 design guidelines, along with an alternative method of backlighting.

Dennis Levin, the church’s general contractor, 15 introduced himself to the Board and explained the reasoning for not using clay tile for the roof replacement as 16 opposed to the metal roof used on other buildings in the surrounding area of the school campuses. Mr. Levin 17 explained the reasoning behind their selection, which included cost and the fact that the proposed roof would 18 match the other roof elements. Chairperson Moor asked if they had considered using different roofing materials. 19 Mr. Levin responded that they did and explained their choice, which included the length of time the roof would 20 last. 21 22 A Board Member asked if there is a history regarding other metal roofs. Ms. Kirincic explained that the special use 23 previously requested for the Parish Center included specifications for a metal sheet roof. Chairperson Moor 24 referred to a 2005 GIS image, which showed a metal roof for the church and gym buildings. Ms. Niehoff agreed 25 with Chairperson Moor that it would be better to use higher-quality materials, while acknowledging the complexity 26 and budget concerns. She then stated consistency would be provided on the campus. A Board Member asked if it 27 would be prefinished metal and for the warranty information. Mr. Levin confirmed that it is correct and that it 28 would have a 25-year warranty. 29 30 Chairperson Moor asked for a motion to approve the request as presented.

Ms. Kirincic summarized the application in detail for the Board, identifying the property’s location and 52 zoning classification.

Page 4 of 82 Design Review Board September 16, 2025 Page 4 1 2 3 Chairperson Moor asked if there were any questions. Ms. Niehoff questioned the difference between the blush 4 and brighter pink colors. Ms. Kirincic explained to the Board and stated that the applicant was asked to provide 5 additional information. A Board Member noted that the rendering seemed to include more painted areas than the 6 current storefront photos, which reflect recent paint changes. Ms. Kirincic provided clarification to the Board. 7 8 Chairperson Moor asked for the applicant’s presentation. Kelly Golden, the owner, provided a paint sample to the 9 Board. She stated they intended to paint the metal, which she described as dark, along with the door entryway to 10 the pink color they use for their store branding. She referred to the attempts made regarding the paint having 11 different shades and asked if there were any questions. 12 13 Chairperson Moor described the color as very bright, and per the design guidelines, she read from the design 14 guidelines: “Colors shall be used with restraint. Excessive brightness should be avoided.” She commented that she 15 preferred the pale pink color, which would still complement the brand well. She noted that the elevation on the 16 rendering, which shows a pale/blush pink color, looks so beautiful and elegant. Ms. Niehoff asked if the color is 17 used throughout the store. Ms. Golden responded to the Board. She confirmed that the limestone and columns 18 would not be painted. Ms. Golden also stated that the color has been tested in terms of its appearance. The Board 19 Members then discussed the shade of pink colors and their intended uses in detail. They liked the pastel 20 pale/blush pink shade shown on the proposed renderings and directed the applicant to get as much of that shade 21 as they could on the storefront. Ms. Neihoff stated that with bright pink color and white limestone columns, the 22 overall appearance looks choppy. It was also concluded that board members would not mind all limestone 23 columns to be painted as shown on the rendering, as mentioned earlier, if the applicant can match that pale/blush 24 shade of pink. It would give a cohesive look to the storefront. 25 26 Ms. Niehoff suggested that if one bright shade of pink is vital to the applicant, it should only be done at the 27 entrance door and the recessed portion. She also stated it is essential to the building as a whole; a lighter 28 pale/blush pink color should be used in order to make it more contiguous. Chairperson Moor agreed with Ms. 29 Neihoff's suggestion and referred to several public comments she had received. Ms. Golden stated that she 30 appreciated the Board’s comments and is willing to return to the Board with a lighter pink color. The Chairperson 31 emphasized the importance of reviewing a paint sample before approval, noting that a photo of the paint does not 32 do justice. Mrs. Kirincic suggested that applicants can paint one smaller portion of the storefront to try to match 33 the preferred pastel pale/blush pink color and present it at the next DRB meeting for approval. The applicant 34 agreed to match the pale/blush pink color from the application material’s rendering as closely as possible. 35 However, she requested that the approval process be expedited to avoid a one-month delay in painting the 36 storefront. She is embarrassed by the storefront's current appearance and would like to paint it as soon as 37 possible. Members discussed how to expedite approval without waiting for next month's DRB meeting, while still 38 checking and approving a new shade of pale/blush pink that matches as closely as possible, as shown on the 39 application elevation rendering applied to the storefront. 40 41 It was decided that the Board will approve the application with the condition that a paint sample of the desired 42 pale/blush pink color be applied to a portion of the façade, in a couple of areas with different materials (limestone, 43 metal, fascia, and wood), to see how the paint takes to other materials. Also, it was concluded that staff will share 44 by e-mail a photo with a color paint sample applied on the storefront with Board members, get approval of the 45 color shade electronically (that way get back quickly to the Applicant and not postpone the project). After approval 46 of the specific color shade, the Applicant would be able to proceed with painting the whole storefront. 47 48 Chairperson Moor asked for a motion to approve the request with a condition. Mr. Duda moved to approve the 49 Applicant application, conditioned on approval of the specific color by staff and committee, which will be 50 conducted electronically in some fashion. Mr. Barker seconded the motion. A vote was taken, and the motion was 51 unanimously passed, 6 to 0: 52 AYES: Baggett, Barker, Duda, Evanich, Moor, Niehoff 53 NAYS: None Page 5 of 82 Design Review Board September 16, 2025 Page 5 1 2 Other Business. 3 a.

The design of the sign exhibits a high degree of artistic embellishment.

Standards and Criteria for Issuance. The following factors and characteristics relating to the safety and appearance of signage shall govern the Board’s evaluation of design submittals: 1. The sign area shall be in proportion and scale to the building or to other buildings or signs in the surrounding area; 2. A signage package for a business establishment that includes a number of signs and graphics shall have an overall plan that demonstrates the compatibility of the design and colors of all the signs that are part of that package; 3. The amount of text and graphics contained in or on any sign or group of signs shall be limited so that it results in a clear and readable design; 4. Signs and graphics shall have a harmonious relationship with nearby signs, buildings, and the neighborhood and shall be designed not to adversely affect adjacent structures. In this respect, the sign shall relate to its building, structure, and neighborhood in terms of size, shape, material, color, texture, lettering, location, arrangement, lighting, and the like; 5. Colors shall be used with restraint; excessive brightness shall be avoided; and 6. The additional provisions of this chapter, as specified in this chapter, shall be part of the criteria of the design review process. The Board should also consider the Village Design Guidelines for the proposed signage. See Attachment B.

Property Owner Information Applicant Information legal Name: 986 Green Bay Road LL C legal Name: McJordan LLC dba Sit Still Kids Salon Primary Contact: Jenn Epstein Primary Contact: Chris Jordan Address: 568 Lincoln Avenue Address: 2008 Bennett Avenue City, State, Zip : Winnetka, IL 6009 3 City, state, Zip: Evanston, IL 60201 Phone No. 847.512.3191 Phone No. Email: jepstein@hoffmsmncre.com Email: chris.jordan@sitstillkid Owner Signature: Applicant Signature: Page4 of4 Page 16 of 82 1) The requested variation is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Sign Code. a. This chapter is intended to reduce visual confusion; to restrict signs that overload the public’s capacity to receive information or that distract attention, obstruct vision or otherwise increase the risk of accidents, personal injury or property damage; to enable the public to locate goods, services and facilities in the Village without difficulty or confusion; to encourage a high quality of development and excellence in the design of signs throughout the Village; and to promote the use of signs that are appropriate to the type of activity to which they pertain as well as expressive of the identity of the proprietors of the premises on which they are located. Sit Still is a unique children’s salon; it is an upscale, minimalistic, brand that appeals to parents seeking a higher level of hair care with natural/organic hair care products for their children. This is evident in the signage and overall design elements of the brand. Sit Still has a simple, friendly, easy-to-read design. The customer is met with the words, “A Modern Kids Salon”, telling them very simply what the establishment is. And they are welcomed into the warm, playful, style of the brand when they see the words, “We’re Hair For You.” The customer is not inundated with anything more than this, save for a few pieces of confetti (meant to represent pieces of hair falling to the ground). Additionally, we will not have any street signs as part of our establishment. In this sense, there does not present risk of injury or distraction to the walker- or driver-by. 2) Given the design elements of the building or site on which the sign is located, the design is as compatible, if not more, with the character of the business district than the standard sign regulations allow. As a modern, upscale, salon, Sit Still fits in well with the Green Bay strip, and complements neighboring businesses. The wall sign above the door is minimalistic, and the landlord is supportive of such design in context of the building. 3) For window signs, the design of the sign does not significantly inhibit the viewing of store products, activities, or services. Page 17 of 82 The design of the window sign does not inhibit the viewing of store products and services. The text in the center part of the main window is not opaque but rather an outline-form, allowing the customer to view inside the store. Additionally, the colorful confetti exists on the bottom edge and corners of the windows per the Village guidelines. The design is consistent with the franchisor’s branding model, which has been purposefully derived and iterated upon so as to be both enticing for the passer-by but also not inhibiting for the viewer. 4) The design of the sign is contextually appropriate for the type of business. The design is specifically tailored to our business. It states this directly on the window pane: “A Modern Kids Salon.” In addition, the design is specific to a children’s establishment, in both the use of bright, primary, colors, but also in the use of the pieces of confetti (again, meant to represent pieces of hair) falling to the ground. 5) The design of the sign exhibits a high degree of artistic embellishment. The Sit Still brand is both modern, and minimalistic. Unlike many children’s salons, it is not a toy store first and a salon second; Sit Still is first and foremost an upscale, modern, salon with fewer, higher quality, hair care products for sale. This is evidenced in the window signage, which shows a playful demeanor with the text “We’re Hair For You”, coupled with the aesthetic of the confetti. 6) The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality. The wall sign and window signage fit in well with the Green Bay strip, and complements the children’s dentistry (City Kids Dental), right next door. And with Hubbard Woods Park across the street, and Graeter’s Ice Cream also nearby, Sit Still will enhance the kid-friendly character of the overall neighborhood. Page 18 of 82 sit still. KIDS SALON Page 19 of 82 Summary Sit Still Kids Salon ("SSK") is a modern kids hair salon geared towards children of all ages. Brit and Chris Jordan (SSK owners) are excited to bring this brand to Chicago, and believe 986 Green Bay will serve as a wonderful space to serve the Winnetka and M ERN greater North Shore communities. ■in,r s..- lR CJoLII u• LIH In speaking with our potential neighbors, they share in the excitement. .. The following slides depict the design, color, and overall image of the window signs, and wall signs, taking efforts to ensure conformance to the city's guidelines while also conforming to the brand's iconography.

There are several prominent sign styles that are appropriateto Winnetka: surface mounted, pin-mounted, interior, decal and projecting blade signs. Sign materials are limited to painted wood, canvas, architectural glass and metal. Sign color must harmonize with the building upon which it is mounted and adjacent structures. Letteringcolor can be unique to the image of the retailer/user. Metal sign and plaque materialsuch as brushed bronze, antique bronze, aluminum, stainless steel and painted cast ironor similarly appearing materials are preferred. Highly reflective metallic signs are notallowed. Signs should be lit by marquee or spot lighting; neon lighting is not permitted.Spot lighting should be minimal and unobtrusive and, per the Village Code, the sourceof illumination shall not be visible from any street, sidewalk or dwelling. Simplifiedindustrial light fixtures are not permitted. Contextual solutions are recommended. Themajority of the signs will be mounted within the building’s sign band, defined as thewall area located above the ground floor storefront opening and below the second floorwindowsill, and is located a minimum of 8’-0” above grade anda maximum of 15’-0”above grade. 0&DPHQGHG Signs must comply with the general provisions of the Winnetka Sign Ordinance as well as design provisions contained within these Design Guidelines.  Surface mounted commercial signs are either fabricated from painted wood orcast metal plaques and are to be mounted within the sign band or within thestorefront transom. The height of the sign is restricted to 75% of the area of thesign band or 14 inches - whichever is less. The sign band of a building consists ofthe area located above the ground floor storefront opening and below the secondfloor windowsill, and is located a minimum of 8’-0” and a maximum of 15’-0”above grade. Refer to figures 28, 29, and 30 for location. Surface mounted orpin- mounted signs are not permitted on secondary elevations without a definedsign band. 2. Pin-mounted commercial signs consist of reverse channel, cast metal and flat cut metal letters mounted above the storefront in the masonry sign band or suspended in front of the storefront at the transom or recessed entry. The size of the lettering is restricted so that the height of the letters does not exceed 75% of the height of the sign band or 14 inches - whichever is less. The length of the lettering is to be Figure 38 contained within 75% of the length of the sign band. (See figure 38) 19 Building & Architecture Page 27 of 82 e. Awnings and Banners Awning scale and proportions are to be appropriate for the building on which they are mounted as well as the adjacent structures. It is highly recommended that awnings be uniform in size, shape (except for arched openings, see “Forms” below) and color in order to unify multiple storefronts within a single building. The length of the awning is to be restricted to the length of the storefront opening; awnings must not continue over masonry piers. The vertical and horizontal dimension should be proportional to the overall projection of the awning. (See figure 42) Figure 42 Awning projection is preferred at 36 inches, but awnings will be considered which range from a minimum of 24 inches to a maximum of 36 inches. Projection depth should match the existing adjacent awnings provided they comply with the acceptable minimum and maximum projection. Awnings should be placed at a minimum height of 8 feet above the sidewalk. If awnings are lit it should be from an outside source; no backlit awnings are allowed. Forms: Awning forms are to conform to the general shape of the opening. Arched openings are to receive ½-round domed awnings, whereas rectangular openings are to receive rectangular, gently sloping; planar forms with closed ends. Valances may be fixed or loose. Mounting: Awnings may be fixed or retractable. Retractable awnings must be kept either in the fully projected position or the fully closed position. Fixed awnings are to have concealed rigid metal frames. Retractable awnings should have a canopy cover and automatic retractable rollers mounted to the building. Underpanels are not desired. Frames should be painted to match or compliment the color of the awning cover material or its underside. Materials: The awning material should be taut, not relaxed. Awning materials may include matte finish painted army duck, vinyl-coated cotton, acrylic-coated polyester, and vinyl-coated polyester or cotton and solution-dyed acrylic. All materials should receive silkscreen, painted, cutout lettering, heat color-transfer, pressure sensitive vinyl films or sewn appliqué signs. Awning signs and logos are limited to a height of six inches, and may be placed on the valence only. 21 Building & Architecture Page 28 of 82 Village of Winnetka, Illinois Colors: Awning and banner colors must take into account the color selection of the surrounding materials, buildings, signs, awnings, and image of the retailer/user and district. All awnings located on the same building must be the same color. Colors should enhance and compliment the building and are restricted to earthtones and primary and secondary colors. Final color selection is contingent on approval by the Design Review Board and compliance with the Village awning ordinance. Banners should be considered as identification of commercial districts. Banners may be location, event, holiday or sponsor specific and can create a unifying thread between the independent districts. Banners are to be mounted on existing poles by fixed brackets and hardware. The Design Review Board must approve the final design. All new or replacement Awnings and Banners must comply with Village Ordinances and the Design Guidelines. f. ADA Compliance: Federal and State regulations require all public spaces to be accessible. Accessibility alterations shall allow access from either the primary or the secondary facade; additions of elevators or ramps should be designed as an integral element of the building. Entrances: Commercial and mixed-use facilities should provide first floor access from the primary or secondary facade. Elevators: Where possible, elevators should be incorporated into the existing building envelope. If physically impossible, the elevator and stair core can be located on the exterior of the building but should be located so as not visible from the main public way. Ramps: Where required, the slope of the ramp should be as gradual as possible to eliminate the need for handrails. Although a 1:12 slope is permitted, 1:20 is encouraged. A ramp should be an integral design element, reflecting the design of the building it serves and surrounding site. This can be accomplished by concealing the ramp behind a low screen wall. g. Mechanical Equipment 1. Location Mechanical Equipment must not be visible from pedestrian view. Roof top equipment should be located either in the center of the roof or in one corner away from the street elevation so as not to be visible from the primary or secondary approach.

Commercial and Multiple- Family Flat roof must not be visible from street, pedestrian, or open spaces. d. Door and Window Materials: Commercial, Mixed Use, Institutional, Multiple- Family Residential: Entry doors should be wood or aluminum stile and rail with varying degrees of glass. Public entry doors should be Figure 47 fully glazed whereas private and semi- private entries should be primarily solid panel doors. Storefront window units should be either paneled aluminum or brass. Many original storefronts, some with transom windows, remain in the districts. Efforts should be taken to repair and renovate these systems Figure 48 where feasible. Window frames should be wood, steel or aluminum. Vinyl windows are not acceptable. Muntin divisions should be real divided glass or simulated with spacer bars. Snap-in muntins are not acceptable. Color selection should be sympathetic with the overall building color palette and take into account the adjacent building materials within the structure, immediately adjacent structures, structures within the same block and Figure 49 structures across the street. Entry door hardware is to be exterior grade with weather-resistant finish. Hardware design and finish is to be appropriate with facade articulation, color palette and district character. Glazing should be clear glass without tint or film. 25 Building & Architecture Page 30 of 82 Architectural Series of Asphalt Shingles (3 ply) (See figure 49) Wood Shingles (Fire treated) Slate (See figure 48) Real Copper (No other metal roofs are allowed) Figure 46 Institutional only Flat roofs must be hidden by parapet on primary / secondary facades.

The Applicant is seeking approval to replace landscaping with new plantings on the Subject Property. The Subject Property is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Green Bay Road and Elm Street in the Elm Street Business District. It is zoned C-2 General Retail Commercial and is located in the Commercial Overlay District. The Subject Property is a traditional three-story commercial building that houses BMO Bank. Figure 1 below and Figure 2 on the following page identify the Subject Property. Subject Property Figure 1 – Subject Property – Location Map Page 32 of 82 Figure 2 – Subject Property – Building View/Green Bay Road and Elm Street Intersection PREVIOUS APPROVALS In 2018, the DRB approved existing building signage. In 2019, the DRB approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior building lighting. In 2023, staff administratively approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for tuckpointing and repairing the landscaping retaining brick wall by the drive-thru at the Subject Property. CURRENT REQUEST As previously stated, the Applicant is seeking the replacement of the landscaping in the beds both along the sidewalk on Green Bay Road and along the drive-thru area at Subject Property, as proposed on the landscaping plan below. 2 Page 33 of 82 Proposed Landscaping Plan Proposed Plantings 3 Page 34 of 82 Proposed plantings A copy of the application materials is included in Attachment A. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS CONSIDERATIONS As established by the Village Code, the Design Review Board is to consider the following four (4) factors in determining whether to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness: “(1) whether the proposed external architectural features and site improvements are appropriate to and compatible with the character of the immediate neighborhood;” “(2) whether the proposed external architectural features and site improvements are appropriate to and compatible with adopted Village plans for and improvements in the immediate neighborhood, and including both urban design and site arrangement considerations;” “(3) whether the proposed external architectural features and site improvements are consistent with applicable Village design guidelines and such standards and criteria as may be adopted by the Board; and” “(4) the probable effect of the proposed external architectural features on the integrity of the immediate vicinity.” The Board will need to determine if the proposed landscaping replacement complies with the above standards. DESIGN GUIDELINES ANALYSIS Even though the Village’s Design Guidelines do not directly guide landscaping plantings on private commercial properties, staff reviewed proposed planting replacement and compared them with the recommendations of the Design Guidelines for pedestrian zone landscaping and noted that nine proposed varieties specified in the plans and photos match the recommendations of the design guidelines (Village Plant Palette, Appendix B). Of the nine varieties specified, two match the Village of Winnetka plant palette; five are not on the Village of Winnetka plant palette, but a different variety than that specified; two are 4 Page 35 of 82 not on the Village of Winnetka plant palette list.

The Village may consider taking the next steps on these action items in its goal to implement these guidelines. Additionally, detailed planning and design will be required to implement these recommendations that may include: ■ Village Wayfinding/Signage Program: A coordinated sign system should be developed to assist in clearly defining and orienting residents to key Village entry points, business districts, area landmarks, and business district parking. ■ Decorative Lighting Plan: A decorative lighting plan should be implemented over a phased program for the Village's commercial districts and the Green Bay Road corridor. Pole/fixture locations, heights and light levels should be evaluated to their appropriateness and scale in any given district. ■ Streetscape Enhancement program: A new family of streetscape elements has been defined in these guidelines. A more detailed streetscape plan should be developed for each of the districts and the Green Bay Road Corridor that ide.ntifies phasing and implementation of these elements. ■ Green Bay Road Improvements: In its ongoing effort to enhance and beautify the Green Bay Road corridor, the Village should develop an overall corridor improvement plan that identifies desired pedestrian and vehicular landscaping, lighting and signage enhancements. This plan can be used to work with IDOT on any future planned road improvements through this corridor. 85 Submission Requirements Page 48 of 82 MEMORANDUM VILLAGE OF WINNETKA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD/ SIGN BOARD OF APPEALS FROM: DAVORKA KIRINCIC, AICP BUILDING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER DATE: OCTOBER 9, 2025 SUBJECT: 914 GREEN BAY ROAD – SANTE INTEGRATED HEALTH AND WELLNESS – SIGN PERMIT AND SIGN CODE VARIATIONS (CASE NO. 25-22-DR) INTRODUCTION On October 16, 2025, the Design Review Board (DRB) is scheduled to consider a Sign Permit application submitted by Sante Integrated Health and Wellness (the “Applicant”) as lessee of the 2nd floor commercial space at the property located at 914 Green Bay Road (the “Subject Property”). The Applicant has submitted applications seeking the following approvals: 1. Sign Permit to allow installation of six-window decal signs; and 2. Sign Code Variation to allow the following: a. Window signs that exceed 10% of their respective window area; and b. Window translucent decal signs that are not die-cut and are not limited to individual letters and logos. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Subject Property is located west of Green Bay Road between Gage Street and Tower Road in the Hubbard Woods Business District. It is zoned C-2 General Retail Commercial and is located within the Commercial Overlay District. On the second floor of the commercial building, the Applicant operates its medical clinic. The first-floor commercial spaces are occupied by Lana and by Eversee Boutique Eyecare. Figure 1 identifies the location of the Subject Property, and Figure 2 on the next page shows the entire front façade of the building and the location of the Applicant’s business. Location of Subject Property Figure 1 – Subject Property – Location Map Page 49 of 82 Location of the Location of the recently Sante Integrated Health approved and Wellness on the projecting sign second floor Location of the recently approved door window sign Figure 2 – Subject Property View of the entire building at 914 Green Bay Road PREVIOUS APPROVALS The DRB approved the sign permit to install a wall sign for Lana Jewelry in March 2023, as well as storefront window signs, a door window sign, and a projecting sign. Additionally, approval was granted for the storefront gold vinyl border/ribbon to be installed around all windows at the subject building in February 2024. Just recently, at the September 18th meeting, the Board approved an entrance door window sign and a projecting sign for the Sante Integrated Health and Wellness. CURRENT REQUEST The Applicant is seeking additional signage in the form of window decals for promotion and identification of the existing grocery business. Six translucent, frosted vinyl decal window signs would be applied to the windows of the second floor along the building’s east façade on Green Bay Road. The proposed signs are as follows: • Left and Right window bays (three windows each) o The frosted vinyl decal will be applied to the lower portion of all second floor windows; o The left and right lower windows within each bay show the Sante Integrated Health and Wellness logo cutout in the frosted vinyl decal, 8” in height; and o The middle windows within each bay show the “SANTE” text cutout in the frosted vinyl decal, 6” in height; The signs described above are identified on the following page: Page 50 of 82 The Applicant has provided details of the proposed signs that are available in the application materials included in Attachment A. SIGN CODE ANALYSIS Section 15.60.120 of the Village Sign Code establishes commercial district window sign standards. Window signs that meet the following standards can be administratively approved by staff. Given the proposed signage covers 100 percent of the window, the signage does not meet many of the following standards. Thus, the window signage requires review by the Design Review Board as well as approval of Sign Code variations: • Limited to 10% or less of the single windowpane; o Existing signs in each window cover up 100% of the respective window area (Sign Variation required for each window); • Limited to 50% or less of a door-window or transom; Page 51 of 82 • Height of the sign to not exceed 1/3 of the height of the glass area and 90% of the glass width; • Limited letters and logos no taller than 8”, except one logo, and the first letter of each word may be up to no taller than 24”, and except store hours and contact information shall be limited to 2” in height; • No window sign should be illuminated; • Located in the lower two-thirds of the window opening; • Without reflective materials; • Limited to two colors; • Decal sign shall be die-cut and limited to individual letters and logos o The frosted vinyl, logo, and text decal signs are not die-cut and are not limited to individual letters and logos. (Sign Variation required for each window); • Shall not extend over or through architectural features/window muntin; and • Comply with the following: for each street exposure, the total area of all wall signs, window signs, and awning signs other than exempt signs and permitted directional and incidental signs shall not exceed 15% of the street exposure. Green Bay Road Signage Street Exposure Area Square Percentage Foot Green Bay Road Street Exposure 750 - Max Allowed per Sign Code 112.5 15% (15% of the Street Exposure) All Existing & Proposed Signs Counted Toward Street 41 5.4% Exposure The existing and proposed signs at the property comply with the maximum allowed sign area street exposure requirement. SIGN CODE VARIATION REQUEST 1. The Applicant has applied for a Sign Code Variation from Section 15.60.120 [Commercial Signs] to allow a. Window signs that exceed 10% of their respective window area; and b. Window translucent decal signs that are not die-cut and are not limited to individual letters and logos. The Design Review Board (also sitting as the Sign Board of Appeals) may grant relief from the Sign Code if it determines that the following standards set out in Section 15.60.250 [Variations] are met: 1. The variations would be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this chapter; 2. Given the design elements of the building or site on which the sign is located, the design of the sign is as compatible, if not more compatible, with the character of the business district than the standard sign regulations would otherwise allow; 3. For window signs, the design of the sign would not significantly inhibit the viewing of store products, activities, or services; 4. The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality; 5. The design of the sign is contextually appropriate for the type of business; and 6. The design of the sign exhibits a high degree of artistic embellishment. Page 52 of 82 DESIGN GUIDELINES ANALYSIS When reviewing the design of any signs, the Board is to consider the following standards and criteria of Section 15.60.150(F) of the Sign Code. F. Standards and Criteria for Issuance. The following factors and characteristics relating to the safety and appearance of signage shall govern the Board’s evaluation of design submittals: 1. The sign area shall be in proportion and scale to the building or to other buildings or signs in the surrounding area; 2. A signage package for a business establishment that includes a number of signs and graphics shall have an overall plan that demonstrates the compatibility of the design and colors of all the signs that are part of that package; 3. The amount of text and graphics contained in or on any sign or group of signs shall be limited so that it results in a clear and readable design; 4. Signs and graphics shall have a harmonious relationship with nearby signs, buildings, and the neighborhood and shall be designed not to adversely affect adjacent structures. In this respect, the sign shall relate to its building, structure, and neighborhood in terms of size, shape, material, color, texture, lettering, location, arrangement, lighting, and the like; 5. Colors shall be used with restraint; excessive brightness shall be avoided; and 6. The additional provisions of this chapter, as specified in this chapter, shall be part of the criteria of the design review process. The Board should also consider the Village Design Guidelines to approve the proposed signage. See Attachment B. SUMMARY The Applicant requests that the DRB find the proposed second-floor window signs as appropriate and compatible with the Design Guidelines and approve the Sign Permit and Sign Code Variation as submitted.

The bottom windows of our second-floor medical office make it possible for pedestrians on the street or in the businesses across the street to see into areas where patients wait and receive care. We tested this ourselves and believed that there would be a privacy concern. Without protective treatment, this visibility risks exposing patients during sensitive health-related visits. We are proposing a frosted decal to address this concern by: 1. Safeguarding patient privacy. The frosted decal on the lower windows prevents pedestrians and street traffic from viewing patients inside. This ensures compliance with healthcare privacy expectations (HIPAA) and helps reinforce trust with our patients. 2. Provides dignity and comfort. A frosted lower window ensures that our patients feel secure, respected, and not on public display. 3. Maintaining natural light and esthetics. A frosted decal allows ample light to enter our clinic while creating a discreet professional appearance aligned with the Village of Winnetka's design standards. The logo and name will be integrated tastefully into the frosting, helping ensure that the signage is subtle, elegant, and consistent with the Village of Winnetka's character. I want to thank you for your consideration in this matter. This sign code variation application is not for decorative purposes but is essential for patient protection. The frosted lower windows represent the least intrusive and visually appealing solution to balance privacy and the welcoming appearance of our clinic. Page 59 of 82 Yours sincerely, Faris M Murad, MD, FASGE -fL_ Page 60 of 82 ATTACHMENT B d. Building Signage Commercial signs should reflect the character of the building style, while expressing each store’s individuality. There are several prominent sign styles that are appropriate to Winnetka: surface mounted, pin-mounted, interior, decal and projecting blade signs. Sign materials are limited to painted wood, canvas, architectural glass and metal. Sign color must harmonize with the building upon which it is mounted and adjacent structures. Lettering color can be unique to the image of the retailer/user. Metal sign and plaque material such as brushed bronze, antique bronze, aluminum, stainless steel and painted cast iron or similarly appearing materials are preferred. Highly reflective metallic signs are not allowed. Signs should be lit by marquee or spot lighting; neon lighting is not permitted. Spot lighting should be minimal and unobtrusive and, per the Village Code, the source of illumination shall not be visible from any street, sidewalk or dwelling. Simplified industrial light fixtures are not permitted. Contextual solutions are recommended. The majority of the signs will be mounted within the building’s sign band, defined as the wall area located above the ground floor storefront opening and below the second floor windowsill, and is located a minimum of 8’-0” above grade and a maximum of 15’-0” above grade. (MC-01-2023, amended, 01/17/2023) Signs must comply with the general provisions of the Winnetka Sign Ordinance as well as design provisions contained within these Design Guidelines. 1. Surface mounted commercial signs are either fabricated from painted wood or cast metal plaques and are to be mounted within the sign band or within the storefront transom. The height of the sign is restricted to 75% of the area of the sign band or 14 inches - whichever is less. The sign band of a building consists of the area located above the ground floor storefront opening and below the second floor windowsill, and is located a minimum of 8’-0” and a maximum of 15’-0” above grade. Refer to figures 28, 29, and 30 for location. Surface mounted or pin- mounted signs are not permitted on secondary elevations without a defined sign band. 2. Pin-mounted commercial signs consist of reverse channel, cast metal and flat cut metal letters mounted above the storefront in the masonry sign band or suspended in front of the storefront at the transom or recessed entry. The size of the lettering is restricted so that the height of the letters does not exceed 75% of the height of the sign band or 14 inches - whichever is less. The length of the lettering is to be Figure 38 contained within 75% of the length of the sign band.

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS CONSIDERATIONS As established by the Village Code, the Design Review Board is to consider the following four (4) factors in determining whether to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness: “(1) whether the proposed external architectural features and site improvements are appropriate to and compatible with the character of the immediate neighborhood;” “(2) whether the proposed external architectural features and site improvements are appropriate to and compatible with adopted Village plans for and improvements in the immediate neighborhood, and including both urban design and site arrangement considerations;” “(3) whether the proposed external architectural features and site improvements are consistent with applicable Village design guidelines and such standards and criteria as may be adopted by the Board; and” “(4) the probable effect of the proposed external architectural features on the integrity of the immediate vicinity.” The Board must determine if the proposed exterior elevation modifications comply with the above standards and the following design guidelines. See Attachment B. DESIGN GUIDELINES ANALYSIS The Village’s Design Guidelines provide general guidance on the design and appearance of exterior façades on commercial buildings. They also provide guidance on commercial storefront doors and window material and color selection, recommending that the selection be sympathetic to the overall building color palette and consider the adjacent building materials within the structure, as well as the immediately adjacent structures, structures within the same block, and structures across the street. Page 67 of 82 The project adheres to the Village Design Guidelines, as the applicant will maintain the building's materials and colors approved initially during the PUD process. The form of the building will not be altered, as it is planned to use the existing window openings.

Commercial and Multiple- Family Flat roof must not be visible from street, pedestrian, or open spaces. d. Door and Window Materials: Commercial, Mixed Use, Institutional, Multiple- Family Residential: Entry doors should be wood or aluminum stile and rail with varying degrees of glass. Public entry doors should be Figure 47 fully glazed whereas private and semi- private entries should be primarily solid panel doors. Storefront window units should be either paneled aluminum or brass. Many original storefronts, some with transom windows, remain in the districts. Efforts should be taken to repair and renovate these systems Figure 48 where feasible. Window frames should be wood, steel or aluminum. Vinyl windows are not acceptable. Muntin divisions should be real divided glass or simulated with spacer bars. Snap-in muntins are not acceptable. Color selection should be sympathetic with the overall building color palette and take into account the adjacent building materials within the structure, immediately adjacent structures, structures within the same block and Figure 49 structures across the street. Entry door hardware is to be exterior grade with weather-resistant finish. Hardware design and finish is to be appropriate with facade articulation, color palette and district character. Glazing should be clear glass without tint or film. 25 Building & Architecture Page 82 of 82
