PLANNING OVERVIEW:
The purpose of this application is to request $3,466.50 in CFIP assistance to replace four windows on the northern addition of the Loebe House, an Orland Park Landmark building and contributing structure to the Old Orland Historic District. Two windows are on the north façade and two are on the west façade. The windows are visible from the neighboring right-of-ways (Brooke Avenue and 144th Street).
The new windows that the petitioner proposes will match the historic dimensions of the existing windows on the historic building. The new windows will also match in style, color, materials and type and be centered on the building’s walls.
The petitioner has provided two bids for the project as required by the Program. The first bid is from Masters Millwork Company ($8,339.07) and the second bid is from Superior Exteriors, Inc. ($6,933.00). CFIP is a 50% matching grant program.
On May 17, 2010, the Development Services and Planning Committee of Trustees by a vote of 3-0 moved to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees to approve the Commercial Façade Improvement Program application for $3,466.50 in matching grant funds, per the proposal of Superior Exterior Inc. (contractors) to install four new historically appropriate windows for the landmark building known as the “Loebe House” at 9952 W. 144th Street, subject to the following conditions:
1. That this project will remain on a waiting list as a “first come first serve” priority for the Commercial Façade Improvement Program until funds are made available; and
2. That a Certificate of Appropriateness is approved by the Village Board;
On May 11, 2010 the Historic Preservation Review Commission (HPRC) unanimously recommended to the Village Board to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the same project described herein. The Village Board approved that Certificate of Appropriateness on May 17, 2010 after the Development Services and Planning Committee had met to discuss and make recommendation on the CFIP assistance for this project.
Since the Committee, the Certificate of Appropriatness was approved by the Board, clearing the way for the CFIP application to be considered for approval.
This case is before the Village Board of Trustees for final review/approval.
