History
The purpose of this petition is to obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness to construct a new two-story 2,340 square foot single family home with a detached garage at 9871 W. 144th Place in the Old Orland Historic District.

Moved 6-0 to recommend to the Village Board approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the Elevations titled “Two Story Residence for 9871 W. 144th Place”, prepared by the same, sheet A-1.0 and dated the same, subject to the same conditions above and the following conditions. All changes should be made prior to the Board Meeting wherever possible unless otherwise noted.
1. Screen all mechanical equipment either at grade level with landscaping.
At the meeting, it was noted by some of the commission members that the window shutters on the house should not be constructed due to appearance issues. The motion, however, was not modified to reflect the removal despite the petitioner acknowledging this and stating he preferred them removed as well. As a courtesy to the HPRC’s inquiry and the petitioner’s own admission, a condition is added to the Board motion below that the window shutters be removed from the elevation drawings.
Financial Impact
This project will have a positive financial impact to the Village in terms of building permit and construction fees and utility connections and uses. Additionally, the new single family home will improve property values in the area and the tax status of the subject property.
This case is now before the Board of Trustees for final review/approval.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the site plan, the elevations and the Certificate of Appropriateness for a new two-story single family home with a detached garage at 9871 W. 144th Place as indicated in the attached fully referenced motion.
