OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
This commercial building with Tudor styling was built in 1937 and once served as Orland Park's first public library. The petitioner seeks approval for replacement of exterior siding and roof-edge components to improve building longevity and appearance. Submittals include a signed contractor scope and pricing, identifying fiber-cement plank siding with trim, aluminum soffit/fascia, and a 6" aluminum gutter system with 3"×4" downspouts; color selections were subsequently clarified by email.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The petitioner is proposing the following regular maintenance work to the exterior of the structure
-Remove existing stucco where present and install James Hardie HZ5 plank siding with trim; limited Hardie shingles where shown; flashing and other manufacturer flashing details.
-Replace aluminum soffit (triple-4; vented at intake, solid elsewhere) and custom bent aluminum fascia (profile to match existing).
-Install 6" K-style aluminum gutters with 3"×4" downspouts (generally in existing locations).
-Colors: Siding Watering Can; trim/corners Midnight Black; fascia/soffit/gutters black aluminum.
Section 6-209. F.3.f.1 states “Narrow wood clapboard siding with 4-inch exposure or wide wood clapboard siding with 8-inch exposure is appropriate for the District. Light paint colors should be used for the siding that will not conceal the shadow lines of the narrow clapboards and the decorative trim.” The proposed replacement roof material is appropriate, and the color will match the existing.
Section 6-209.G states that changes to siding are considered minor changes, which require an administrative Certificate of Appropriateness review for landmark structures in the OOH District, as well as approval from the Planning Commission and the Village Board of Trustees.
As proposed, the exterior work meets the requirements of the Land Development Code and is compatible in character, color, and texture with that of the district. The replacements will improve the appearance of the building and create a more harmonious design that is compatible with the character of the Old Orland Historic District.
