OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
This was the first general store in Orland Park. The building appears to be a series of buildings that were added onto each other. Most of them appear to date from the early 1880's to mid-1890's. The front is particularly well preserved.
According to the 2008 Residential Area Intensive Survey (RAI), the building at 14314 Union Avenue is a two-story Italianate structure in good condition with medium integrity. It was constructed circa 1885. The RAI lists this building as a contributing structure to the Old Orland Historic District. The structure is also listed as an Orland Park Landmark on the Local Register of Significant Places in Section 5-110 Landmarks of the Land Development Code. The building was originally constructed for commercial retail and now acts as a mixed-use property with commercial retail on the main floor and two apartments on the second. The RAI indicates minor alterations have taken place, including the installment of synthetic siding, altered storefront, altered doors, and the covering of the transom over the door facing Union Avenue.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The petitioner proposes to replace the existing gray asphalt shingle roof on the house with Owens Corning shingles in the color Peppercorn, which is a dark gray color and similar to the existing roof. The siding, gutters, and downspouts are also going to be replaced. The siding will be vinyl siding with a wood grain texture in the color Light Maple which is similar to what is existing.
Section 6-209.F.3.e.1 states “New or replacement roofs of wood or asphalt shingles are appropriate...Asphalt shingles should be simple, flat and smooth, and in an appropriate color.” The proposed replacement roof material is appropriate and is similar in appearance to the existing shingles.
Per Section 6-209.G.1., changes to roofs are considered a minor change, which requires Plan Commission and Board of Trustees approval for Landmark Structures in the OOH District.
Overall, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Codes and policies for this area.
The Certificate of Appropriateness to replace the existing roof and siding at 14314 Union Avenue, as depicted on the scope of work submitted by the petitioner, was administratively approved on September 24th, 2024.
