1. Approval of the December 18,
2006 Draft Meeting Minutes.
Commissioner Beadle made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Marshall,
to accept the December 18, 2006 meeting minutes as presented. On a voice vote; all aye.
2. Consideration
of the color scheme for buildings 1 & 2 for Long Grove Commons submitted by
Mr. Larry Quinlan, Victor Construction Company.
It was noted that Mr. Quinlan was not present. Planner
Hogue updated the AB on the status of this request. The AB then moved this item
to the end of the agenda.
(Note: Mr. Quinlan did not make an appearance before the AB
at this meeting consequently this item was tabled until the March 19th
Regular Meeting).
3. Consideration of exterior alterations and landscaping for “For
Pete’s Sake” (a.k.a. “The Stable Shops”), at 326 Old McHenry Road within
the “B-1” Historic Business District,
submitted by Niki & Eleftherios
Shinas.
Mr. George Prosiliakos, architect for the
project presented the proposal to the AB. He noted there were three basic
components to the request. These included the addition of a HVAC unit,
installation of a kitchen exhaust fan and revisions to the previously approved
“porch” addition which is now anticipated to be a fully enclosed building
addition instead of the “3 season porch” as previously approved.
Mr. Prosiliakos noted the HVAC unit would be
located north and west of the existing structure and proposed addition. The
unit would be screened with dense bushes to make the unit as inconspicuous as
possible. It had been determined that this was the best location for the
installation of this unit. He then explained
the request for the exhaust fan. He indicated that 18 inches of the fan unit
must remain exposed. The remainder would
be screened by building up a cedar base around the fan unit. The exposed
portion of the unit will be painted to match the shingles and make the unit as
inconspicuous as possible. He then noted the previously approved addition would
now be permanently enclosed instead of a “3 season room” as previously
approved. He noted the windows to be used as opposed to screens and the
exterior materials would be cedar to match the existing structure.
The AB then discussed the request. Commissioner Marshall had a concern
with “make up air” and the functioning of the HVAC unit and exhaust fan.
Motion made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Lyman to
accept the plans a for improvements for “For Pete’s Sake” dated 02-05-07 for
the windows, roof exhaust vent and HVAC unit for size, location and screening
and that “make up air” calculations be submitted for review by Village
staff. On a voice
vote; all aye.
4. Consideration of a request for
privacy fence for secure vehicle storage for Mels’
Mr. Towner presented his request to the AB. He indicated the fence needs to be a stockade fence and the gate portion of the enclosure needs to be a chain-link material. He noted the area where the fence is to be located. This is his “impound yard” where towed and wrecked vehicles are stored. This area needs to be secured so that wrecked and towed vehicles are not tampered with.
The AB then discussed the request. Commissioner Lyman noted that aesthetics are a big concern with this type of structure at this location. The AB discussed a six foot high stockade fence on both sides and the back with 10 foot wide chain-link gates on the front (south).
Motion made by Commissioner
Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Beadle to approve a six foot stockade (wood)
fence on the north, east and west sides of the impound yard as identified by
Mr. Towner and 10 foot wide black vinyl coated chain-link gates to be installed
on the south side of the enclosure. On a voice vote; all aye.
OTHER BUSINESS:
As Chairman Staub and Commissioner Connolly were not present this item was tabled until the March 19th regular meeting.
Adjournment: Commissioner Beadle made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Commissioner Marshall. On a voice vote the motion was unanimously
approved. Meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted;
James M.
Hogue
