PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The petitioner is requesting to locate the Orland Park History Museum (OPHM) at 14415 Beacon Avenue, the Old Village Hall Building. The property is located in the OOH Old Orland Historic District. Museums are considered special uses in all areas of the district and are required to obtain Special Use approval (Section 6-209.B). The museum will share the building with the Village’s Building Maintenance Division, with approximately two-thirds of the building occupied by the Museum (4,800 sf), and one-third by Building Maintenance (2,200 sf). The Museum will occupy the north and south wings of the building, with Building Maintenance in the middle section.
The proposed museum will be consistent with the character of the immediate vicinity of the subject property. The surrounding uses include the Humphrey House Museum operated by the Orland Historical Society to the west, Frontier Park to the east, and single family residential homes to the north and south. There is also a mix of small businesses to the north along Beacon Avenue.
Permission is also requested to allow two (2) Village-owned parcels, 9761 Ravinia Lane and 9740 Ravinia Court, to be rezoned from VCD Village Center District to OL Open Lands District to match the zoning of the adjacent Pioneer Park. Once rezoned, these two (2) parcels would match the zoning of the adjacent Pioneer Park, allowing these parcels to then be consolidated.
Additionally, permission is requested for the approval of a Plat of Consolidation, which reflects the consolidation of three (3) parcels, 9761 Ravinia Lane, 9740 Ravinia Court and 9750 Ravinia Court, into one (1) parcel with parcel information 9750 Ravinia Court. These three (3) parcels include Pioneer Park and two (2) adjacent parking lots. This consolidation creates a contiguous park / parking lot scenario.
This same Plat of Consolidation also reflects the consolidation of two (2) parcels, 14415 Beacon Avenue, which is where the Old Village Hall / OPHM building is located, and 14427 Beacon Avenue, into one (1) parcel with parcel information 14415 Beacon Avenue.
As a note of clarification, two (2) properties in Orland Park have the address 9761 Ravinia Ln. The 9761 Ravinia Ln with the PIN 27-09-213-027-0000, adjacent to the 14415 Beacon Avenue address, which is triangular and is only occupied by an asphalt parking lot, is the 9761 Ravinia Ln that is referred to in this petition. This petition makes no reference nor implies any change, update or modification to 9761 Ravinia Ln, PIN 27-09-213-034-0000.
This petitioner has not requested any variances/modifications for this project.
The recommendation motion includes the following conditions:
1) Meet all final engineering and building code related items.
2) Submit a sign permit application to the Building Division for separate review.
3) Install at minimum one (1) new ADA compliant parking space and five (5) bicycle parking spaces within close proximity to the Old Village Hall building.
4) Update existing garbage enclosure to comply with current Land Development Code regulations.
Overall, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Codes and policies for this area.
