Title/Name/Summary
The Irish Patriot - Certificate of Appropriateness
History
The purpose of this petition is to install a 140 square foot mechanical system screening enclosure at the rear of the masonry building.
The petitioner proposes to install HVAC and other mechanical systems at the rear of the building. To mitigate the appearance of the mechanical systems, the petitioner proposes to construct an enclosure that resembles the building’s approved storefront architecture. The enclosure would screen the mechanicals from the Union Avenue right-of-way, the parking lot area and any future outdoor seating area.
On April 19, 2011, the Historic Preservation Review Commission moved 5-0 to recommend to the Village Board to approve the elevation drawings titled “Irish Patriot”, prepared by Philip J. Riley Architects, dated 3/15/11, sheet M-3, subject to the following conditions:
1. That all building code related items are met;
2. That all necessary building permits are obtained;
3. That the petitioner addresses accessibility issues associated with the mechanical screening enclosure regarding emergency access to the second story windows and access to the platform for the maintenance of the mechanical systems;
4. That the materials, colors and dimensions be outlined on the elevation drawings prior to the project advancing to the Village Board.
Since the HPRC, the petitioner has not met condition 4 though he did indicate at the meeting that all the materials would match the Board approved elevations from 2010. As a result, the condition is modified below to state that the materials and colors match the Board approved elevations of the Irish Patriot Restaurant from case number 2010-0400 and that the enclosure system is scaled to complement the Board approved elevations.
This case is now before the Board of Trustees for final review/approval.
