Address: 9831 W. 144th Place

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
9831 W. 144th Place was owned by the Village until a Board approved land swap in 2012 exchanged this property for land at the northwest corner of 144th Place and First Avenue. The property exchange facilitated the creation of a public pocket park in the Historic District. Consequently, this infill development is the first house proposed on the property.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The petitioner proposes to construct a 4,046 square foot single family home on the subject property. The proposed single family home is predominantly in the National architectural style, although it is influenced by some Craftsman and Folk Victorian features (mainly in the hipped and nested nature of some gables).
The project has been reviewed by the Village’s Historic Preservation consultant, McGuire, Igleski and Associates, who have determined that “The contemporary design of the proposed new house does not create a false historic appearance and the overall design is compatible with the character of the district.” The consultant also noted that the scale and proportions of the building are compatible with the district as well.
The petitioner is not requesting any variances.
The recommendation motion includes the following conditions:
1) Lower the height of the garage roof to reduce its profile in relation to the principle structure.
2) Mitigate the attached nature of the garage by providing ornamental overhead doors along the Beacon Avenue frontage.
3) Submit a tree survey indicating any trees to be preserved or removed to determine appropriate mitigation.
4) Adequately protect the oak tree at the rear of the property during construction of the house.
5) A drive-way from either right-of-way wrapping around the building and leading to the garage’s rear “party door” is prohibited.
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.
