OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
14330 Beacon Avenue is a local Orland Park Landmark according to the Local Register of Significant Places in Section 5-110 Landmarks Designation of the Land Development Code. It is also a contributing structure to the Old Orland Historic District.
The building is a well-preserved wood frame building that was likely constructed in the late 1880's or early 1890's. The wealth of Queen Anne decorations has survived since the house was built.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The petitioner proposes to replace the existing cedar shingle roof on the building with like materials, so appearance will not change.
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 at 14330 Beacon Avenue, as depicted on the scope of work submitted by the petitioner, was administratively approved on September 26, 2024.
