PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
According to the 2008 Residential Area Intensive Survey by McGuire Igleski and Associates, 9917 W. 143rd Street is classified as a contributing structure to the Historic District. The integrity of the building is listed as medium and the condition good. The 1916 building contains elements that were remodeled in 1925. These include window openings on the sides of the building. There have been more recent improvements which included window repairs in 2012, and repair to the gutters, fascia, and siding in 2017. The building is also a landmark building and served as Orland Park’s first library.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Downtown Orland Park is centered around the LaGrange Road and 143rd Street intersection and served by the 143rd Street Metra station. The Downtown is separated into four Character Districts, each with a distinct identity, but all integrated via a well-connected transportation network. This area is envisioned to become the heart of Orland Park, with a unique sense of place and an emphasis on walkability and pedestrian scale. Civic buildings and open spaces will continue to be the focal points in the district.
DETAILED PLANNING DISCUSSION

Per Section 6-209.G.1, the review and approval process for Contributing Structures and Landmarks for minor work require Plan Commission and Board approval.
