OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
The petitioner proposes to construct a 2,670 square foot two-story single family home on a vacant residential lot in the Old Orland Historic District. The lot was previously the location of a non-contributing ranch house that was demolished in 2007. The 2008 Residential Area Intensive Survey (RAI) identified this lot as vacant with no historic information for the site. Since the demolition, this lot has functioned as a de facto private open space with a local community garden. The site, however, was not intended for any other land use but residential.
The proposed single family home is in the same character style that has previously been approved by the Village for new construction in the Historic District’s 144th Place row, specifically at 9867 W. 144th Place, which was completed in 2011 and is to the east, and 9857 W. 144th Place further east on the block.
This petition is similar to the petition for 9869 W. 144th Place (2012-0201). The petitioner owns both properties and would like to construct both houses at the same time.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The proposed single family home is modeled in the National architectural style that is prevalent in the historic district and is scaled similarly to the other homes along 144th Place. 9875 will complete the definitive street edge that has come to define this part of Old Orland as 144th Place reaches full build-out. As such both the proposed land use and design are compatible with the historic district.
The petitioner is not requesting any variances with the proposed project.
The recommendation motion includes the following conditions:
1) All building code related items must be met.
2) The sidewalk on 144th Place must be fully restored post construction.
3) All mechanical systems must be screened at grade level.
4) The address for this home remains 9875 W. 144th Place.
5) Site work related to grading must correct storm water flow away from the house and detached garage.
Overall, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Codes and policies for this area.
Additional details about the project are discussed in the Historic Preservation Review Commission report, which is attached for reference.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION REVIEW COMMISSION MOTION
On April 17, 2012 the HPRC moved 5-0 to recommend to the Village Board approval of the preliminary site plan titled “Lot 19 Humphrey’s Subdivision”, prepared by Martin M. Engineering, Inc., and dated 4.10.12, subject to the following conditions.
1) All building code related items must be met.
2) The sidewalk on 144th Place must be fully restored post construction.
3) All mechanical systems must be screened at grade level.
4) The address for this home remains 9875 W. 144th Place.
5) Site work related to grading must correct storm water flow away from the house and detached garage.
6) The petitioner must provide updated site plan and elevation drawings of the proposed project.
All changes should be made prior to the Board of Trustees Meeting wherever possible unless otherwise noted.
And
Moved 5-0 to recommend to the Village Board approval of the Elevations titled “Two Story Residence Lot 5 Colette Highlands Orland Park, IL.”, prepared by IJM Group, Inc., dated 2.2.12 and 4.12.12, sheets A-1.0 and A-3.1 respectively, subject to the same conditions as above.
And
Moved 5-0 to recommend to the Village Board approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for Lot 19 of Humphrey’s Subdivision (PIN 27-09-216-009) with the address of 9875 W. 144th Place subject to the same conditions.
DISCUSSION
At the meeting the HPRC discussed some issues with the non-conforming window sizes on the east and west elevations and their proximity to the front of the building which was visible from the right-of-way. The petitioner noted that the windows appear smaller on the elevation drawings but that they are the same windows (and size) that were approved and installed on 9867 W. 144th Place. This precedent enabled the windows to remain on those elevations.
This case is now before the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve a site plan, elevations and a Certificate of Appropriateness for Lot 19 of Humphrey’s Subdivision for 9875 W. 144th Place.
