D. OLD BUSINESS
1. Approve a Final Draft Resolution regarding Preservation Incentives and a
Preservation Matching Grant – Chairman French noted that the final draft
resolution was approved at the May meeting. Jordon presented the clean version
of the finalized document for the Commission’s review. French asked if there were
any additional comments from the HPC; seeing none, he turned to Trustee
Kalinich for next steps.
Trustee Kalinich explained that all information on the incentives, particularly the
matching grant, should be consolidated in one location for the public to avoid
confusion. Jordon added that once the Commission is aligned, the entire suite of
incentives should move forward to the Village Board. Kalinich noted her
understanding was that all components should precede together, with matching
grant and zoning approvals addressed later.
Commissioner Lemme commented that the overall program has already been
approved. Trustee Kalinich further noted that the Village Board is expecting a
follow-up presentation from the HPC and confirmed her understanding that the
program will be piloted for 18 months, with an evaluation of its effectiveness
during that time. Jordon added that, if needed, a paragraph could be included in
the resolution to reference additional incentives and the exploration of future
options with the goal of eventual implementation.
Commissioner Lemme moved to direct staff to revise the final draft resolution to
include language on exploring additional incentives with the goal of future
implementation. Commissioner Wilson seconded the motion. The motion
unanimously passed.
Ian Dawson, a resident of 869 Hillside Avenue, addressed the HPC, noting his
understanding was that the program would be available in the fourth quarter. He
submitted his application for the program and expressed his thanks to Jordan
Frahm and Trustee Kalinich for their engagement and commitment in moving the
program forward, as well as to the HPC for their work in developing it.

F. NEW BUSINESS
1. Landmark Alteration Request - 535 Duane Street – Jordan Frahm provided
background on 535 Duane Street (see attached), noting that under the 2025 Capital
Plan, the Facilities Maintenance Division initiated the Civic Center Exterior Door
Replacement Project on June 19, 2025, with the issuance of a Request for Proposals.
The project originally included replacement of multiple sets of exterior doors: the west
Auditorium entrance, south rear entrance, east employee entrance, and the Duane
Street main entrance.
Based on the bids received, the scope was narrowed to include only the Auditorium
doors and the east employee entrance doors, with replacement of the main and rear
entrances deferred to 2026. The new doors will be metal frame replacements installed
“in kind”. It was also noted that the current doors are not original to the building.
Commissioner Margetts adds that all the doors, window panes and handles should all
be consistent on the building. The HPC discussed a preference for the doors to be wood.
Commissioner Lemme motioned to preliminary approve the plan to replace the east door
entry and disapprove the plan to replace the west auditorium door entry; Commissioner
Margetts seconded the motion. The motion unanimously passed.
2. Landmark Alteration Request - 644 N. Main Street - Jordon Frahm reviewed the
property with the HPC (see attached), noting it was designated a Village landmark by
Ordinance No. 6162 on September 9, 2013. Built in 1904, the home is known as the
Christian A. Sievert residence. Jon Olenski, who has lived in the property since 2016, is
requesting approval for alterations that include replacing the cedar siding and trim with
James Hardie Cedarmill lap siding, and installing James Hardie Straight Edge Shake on
the gables, dormers, and turret. Frahm explained that this request involves alterations
to the heritage materials and architectural details of the landmark, either in part or in
whole.
Homeowner Jon Olenski stated the changes are necessary to address ongoing water
issues and to better seal and preserve the home. The Historic Preservation Commission
was asked to review the request and determine whether the proposed alterations,
including a door replacement, would have an adverse impact on the landmarked
property.
The HPC discussed the proposed alteration. Commissioner Darga motioned to
recommend preliminary approval for the Landmark Alteration at 644 N. Main Street.
Commissioner Lemme seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
3. Landmark Nomination Request - 779 Riford Road Preliminary Designation – Jordon
Frahm reviewed the nomination request with the HPC (see attached). Petitioner
Page 4 of 56
Historic Preservation 4
August 21, 2025
Christine Wilson submitted the application on behalf of the property owner, Mike
Wilson. The home, built in 1922, is an English cottage that has been well preserved,
featuring a front porch and fireplace. Its location, architectural integrity, and historical
significance make it a strong candidate for landmark designation. Notable features
include its steeply pitched gable roof, hardwood floors, large log fireplace in the living
room, and a screened porch that reflects the design sensibilities of early 20th-century
Glen Ellyn.
Commissioner Margetts motioned to approve the preliminary determination for
landmark designation of the property at 779 Riford Road and requested an in-depth
planning report. Commissioner Schletz seconded the motion. The motion unanimously
passed.
G. HISTORICAL SOCIETY BUSINESS – Tim Loftus from the Glen Ellyn Historical Society
provided several updates. He announced that the next HPC meeting will be held at the
History Center on September 18, as part of the Historical Society’s fall kickoff which
begins at 5:00 pm. Commissioners are invited to arrive early for the event prior to their
meeting.
He also noted that programs for Historical Society members are free, and the History
Center continues to draw between 100 and 170 visitors. Non-members are encouraged
to consider joining to take full advantage of these offerings.
H. CHAIRMAN REPORT – Chairman French reported that on May 27 he presented the
HPC Awards to the Village Board and included his remarks in the record (see attached).
A total of 11 awards were presented, although only a few recipients were able to attend.
Chairman French personally delivered the remaining awards to recipients at their
homes. He noted there was discussion about retroactive awards, but expressed
uncertainty about whether this practice should continue on an ongoing basis.
Commissioner Lemme added that the Commission has not formally discussed this
matter, and recommended it be included as an agenda item for next month’s meeting.
I. TRUSTEE’S REPORT – Trustee Kalinich provided several updates. She began by
acknowledging the tragic and unexpected passing of Trustee Steve Szymanski a few
weeks ago. Trustee Szymanski was newly elected to the Village Board, and his loss has
been deeply felt. As a result, a vacancy now exists, and interested individuals are
encouraged to submit an application by Monday at 8:00 a.m.
On Monday, the Board will also hold a workshop to discuss speed limits within the
Village. The current limit is 30 MPH, and the discussion will center on whether it should
be lowered.
Trustee Kalinich further reported that the parking lot at Crescent and Glenwood Station
is undergoing rehabilitation and will not be accessible during this time. Alternative
parking will be available in the Duane Street lot next to the library.
Lastly, she noted that the Board is in the process of developing the 2026 budget. At the
next HPC meeting, commissioners should be prepared to discuss any funding requests

they would like to make.
J. STAFF REPORT – Jordon Frahm mentioned RFP zoning code requirements discussion
will take place next week.
K. ADJOURNMENT & NEXT MEETING DATE – Commissioner Darga motioned to adjourn
the meeting and Commissioner Margetts seconded the motion. The meeting was
adjourned at 9:12 p.m. The next HPC meeting is September 18, 2025.

DATE: September 16, 2025
RE: Proposed Incentives for Historic Homes
INTRODUCTION
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) has proposed an examination of the bulk regulations
within the Village’s Zoning Code as they pertain to historic homes. In this context “historic homes”
would be those that have been designated as a Glen Ellyn landmark, received a plaque from the Glen
Ellyn Historic society, or have been identified as a Significant or Potentially Significant structure on a
previous architectural survey. The Village’s bulk regulations for single-family homes include minimum
lot width/area, minimum setbacks, maximum height, and maximum lot coverage.
BACKGROUND
During a March 17, 2025 Village Board workshop, HPC Chair Penn French presented a proposal
that included looking at the allowable setbacks and lot coverage. At that meeting, various Village
Board members noted that there were significant changes proposed and suggested that those
changes be reviewed at a future Village Board workshop. At the April 17, 2025 and May 15, 2025
HPC meetings, the HPC drafted a resolution recommending that, as a first step, the Village proceed
immediately with the cost-share grant program. During the August 21, 2025 HPC meeting, Trustee
Kalinich suggested that the Zoning Code amendments be implemented immediately and limited to a
blanket 25% lot coverage allowance for historic homes.
DISCUSSION
Any changes to bulk requirements require approval through the public hearing process, which
involves a public hearing before the Plan Commission and final action by the Village Board. Among
its purposes, the Zoning Code is intended to:
• Promote a rational pattern of development;
• Facilitate the preservation of structures of historic, architectural, and aesthetic importance;
• Establish reasonable standards to which buildings and structures shall conform;
• Provide for the regulation of nonconforming buildings, structures and uses; and
• Prevent additions to buildings that do not comply with the Village’s regulations.
As with all Village Code requirements, the Zoning Code should also ensure fair and equitable
treatment for all property owners within the Village. The Village is in the process of issuing a request
for proposals for a consultant to assist with an update of the Zoning Code, which will include a
thorough examination of all current zoning regulations with input from Village stakeholders,
including various boards and commissions. This process will begin in January 2026 and is expected
to take 18-24 months.

Lot Width/Area
The Zoning Code contains numerous exceptions to allow construction on existing zoning lots that
do not meet current lot width and area requirements. A variation is only necessary if a lot is less than
50 feet wide or 6,534 square feet. Only 5% of Glen Ellyn’s landmarks are on such small lots.
Building Height
The Village has not experienced many variation requests for building height, so the current
regulations do not appear to be a significant impediment for homeowners overall, including
landmark homeowners.
Lot Coverage
As a sample set, staff reviewed Glen Ellyn landmark properties to determine existing lot coverages.
Of the 37 single-family homes that have been designated as landmarks and for which there is an
available plat of survey, only four (4) are at or above the current 20% lot coverage restrictions for
two-story homes. A moderate addition with a footprint of 250+ square feet (which, for a two-story
addition, would be 500+ square feet addition) could be constructed on 30 of the 37 lots containing
landmark homes and still follow the current 20% lot coverage requirement.
Homeowners who wish to build an addition that does not meet Zoning Code requirements always
have the option of seeking a variation though the public hearing process, which requires appearing
before the Zoning Board of Appeals and takes approximately three (3) months. In addition, the
Village has an administrative variation process that does not require a public hearing. An
administrative variation allows the Community Development Director to approve an additional 2%
lot coverage for homes that are two or more stories. To be eligible, a property needs to meet the
standards for variations and there needs to be no written objections filed by adjacent property
owners to the request. When the potential for an administrative variation is included, only five (5) of
37 homes would not qualify for an addition with a footprint of at least 250 square feet.

Setbacks
Of the 37 applicable homes, 24 have one or more nonconforming setbacks. This is in keeping with
the majority of variation requests being related to setbacks. Although there is also an available
administrative variation process for setbacks, that process only allows for the approval of 20% of
the setback requirement. For a typical interior side yard setback, that only allows for the possibility
of a variation of one foot (1’), four inches (4”).
COMPARISON WITH HINSDALE
As part of its incentive program for historic homes, the Village of Hinsdale has alternative bulk
regulations that apply to properties on its Historically Significant Structures Property List (see
attached summary sheet). These alternative regulations that differ from the underlying zoning
requirements include:
• Building Elevation: limited to the highest existing ridge line (instead of a set number)
• Lot Area and Dimensions: may not be reduced (instead of a set number)
• Building Setbacks: significantly reduced
• Maximum Lot Coverage: additional 10% allowance for driveways, patios, tennis courts,
sidewalks, etc. Note: Hinsdale does not allow historic homes to have any additional building coverage
(which is equivalent to Glen Ellyn’s definition of lot coverage and includes all buildings and roofed
structures). Hinsdale’s maximum allowable building coverage is 25% for all homes, regardless of inclusion on
the Historically Significant Structures Property List.
CONCLUSION
There does not appear to be an immediate need to consider the Village’s regulations for lot area, lot
size, or building height. If the intention of changing the lot coverage requirements for historic homes
is to remove an obstacle to constructing an addition, the actual lot coverage of most Glen Ellyn
landmarks combined with the availability of the administrative variation process do not indicate a great
need for this change. If, however, the intention is to offer the owners of historic homes a “bonus” for
which owners of non-historic homes are not entitled, that would be a different consideration.
My recommendation is to consider amending the Zoning Code regulations that pertain to
nonconforming structures to make it easier for homeowners to construct an addition that maintains
an existing building setback without the need to apply for a variation. This would have the greatest
impact for historic homeowners regarding the Village’s bulk regulations.

A Resolution by the Village of Glen Ellyn Historic Preservation Commission Requesting
that Village Staff Fulfill Objectives for the Creation of a Historic Preservation Incentive
Program; To Include a Historic Preservation Matching Grant Incentive Program.
A Resolution by the Village of Glen Ellyn Historic Preservation Commission Requesting that
Village Staff Fulfill the Objectives as Discussed Herein, and at Regular Meetings of both Historic
Preservation Commission Meetings and the March 17th, 2025, Village Board Workshop, regarding
the Creation of a Historic Preservation Incentive Program. This is to Include the Formalization of a
Process for Eligibility and Qualification, and an Application and Approval Process for Structures
Qualified for the proposed Matching Grant Preservation Program.
Hereby, the Glen Ellyn Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), at the May 15th, 2025,
Regular Meeting, resolves that the following directives and evaluation criteria be the framework for
the creation of a Historic Preservation Incentives Program (henceforth referred to as “the
Program”); and,
Whereas, structures must be at least 50 years old to be eligible for consideration for the
Program; and,
Whereas, structures that have received Village Landmark status, or Glen Ellyn Historical
Society plaques, or structures that were evaluated and categorized as Significant or Potentially
Significant in Architectural Resource Surveys commissioned by the Village Board of Trustees and
that typically emulate the architectural, historical, and cultural significance required to be eligible
for the Program; and,
Whereas, Village Staff, as designated by the Historic Preservation Commission, will
conduct an initial review of applicants to the Program; and,
Whereas, after an evaluation by staff, applicants that satisfy the age and designation
criteria, and that have not undergone alteration or extreme disrepair that would disqualify the home
for consideration as a Village Landmark or National Historic Register property, are to be included as
a consent item at Regular Historic Preservation Commission Meetings for inclusion in the Program
when applicable; and,
Whereas, properties that may meet age and designation criteria, but have a history of
alterations, or the condition of the home is in dispute, will be brought before the HPC by an
applicant for review, testimony, and discussion; and,
Whereas, such properties will be qualified for inclusion in the Program by a majority vote of
HPC members; and,
Whereas, structures not designated as Village Landmarks, Glen Ellyn Historical Society
properties, nor rated as Significant or Potentially Significant by Architectural Resource Surveys may
petition the HPC for inclusion in the Program; and,
Page 13 of 56
Whereas, such properties will encompass one or more of the following criteria
representative of the U.S. Department of the Interior preservation standards: the structure will
exhibit master craftsmanship, the structure will display distinct features that exhibit a historically
important architectural style from a representative period, the property possesses local or regional
cultural significance or is associated with historically significant individuals, and/or the property
significantly contributes to the Village as a source of civic pride; and
Whereas, such properties may be qualified for inclusion in the Program by a majority vote of
the Historic Preservation Commission after petitioned by an applicant for review, testimony, and
discussion; and,
Whereas, the Village of Glen Ellyn intends for to recommend to the Village Board the
creation of a suite of incentives including a residential preservation grant program, bulk zoning
allowances, expedited review and permit fee waivers for these qualified properties that embody the
mission of the Program; and,
Whereas, the Historic Preservation Commission requests the Village Board pursue the
entire suite of incentives as appropriate and aligned with the overall objectives of the Village
relating to historic preservation and community development; and,
Whereas, the first incentive that is intended to be introduced is the Preservation Matching
Grant, which has been approved by the Village Board for an initial funding amount of $50,000; and,
Whereas, the owners or representatives of qualified properties may submit a grant
application for up to $10,000 (total project costs must meet or exceed $20,000) for consideration by
the Historic Preservation Commission on a rolling, first-come-first-serve basis, with an open
application window until approved funds are exhausted; and,
Whereas, the applicants must provide construction plans that demonstrate U.S.
Department of the Interior preservation standards and provide multiple quotes for construction
costs, or qualify under stipulations allowing for sole-source bid; and,
Whereas, the Historic Preservation Commission will consider grant applications on the
merits of the proposed project’s adherence to national preservation standards as directed by the
Department of the Interior such as rehabilitating or returning significant architectural features, the
use of heritage materials, sympathetic design, etc.; and,
Whereas, matching grant-eligible projects must include exterior improvements that
enhance the home's appearance and contribute to improving the streetscape. Examples of costs
not eligible for incentives include routine or deferred maintenance projects (such as painting not as
part of a restoration), landscaping, fences and other accessory structures, and driveways and other
paved areas; and,
Henceforth, the Historic Preservation Commission directs Village Staff to act on all the
objectives herein as for the creation of a Historic Preservation Incentive Program, including
guidelines for eligibility and qualification, and the initiation of the Matching Grant program. The
Historic Preservation Commission designates Village Staff to pursue these objectives,
recommended to be created as a Pilot Program for a period of 18 months.
Page 14 of 56
And so, by a unanimous vote of 6 “Yea” votes, to 0 “Nay” votes, the Historic Preservation
Commission of the Village of Glen Ellyn approves this resolution for the creation of the Historic
Preservation Incentive Program on this 15th Day of May 2025.

testimony of the applicant and owner of the property, and discuss the merits of the application
before making a recommendation to the Village Board to approve or not approve the landmark
designation. At the August 21, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission, 779
Riford Road received a preliminary approval to proceed with the public hearing portion of the
landmark designation process.
Analysis:
Location/Request: The property at 779 Riford Road is located on the east side of Riford Road and
north of Elm Street. The current property owner is Michael Wilson, who has consented to the
landmark designation of the property in order to preserve the existing home.
Existing Structure: The following historical and architectural details about the home at 779 Riford
Road were included in the application submitted by Christine Wilson and provided by the owner,
Michael Wilson.
“This property contributes to the visual and cultural continuity of its neighborhood. Just blocks from Lake Ellyn
Park, Glenbard West High School, Hadley Middle, and Forest Glen Elementary—all within a half-mile—it
supports the strong sense of place associated with this historic suburban village. The home echoes the same materials,
massing, and scale found in landmarked neighborhoods and helps preserve the historic atmosphere of the Lake Ellyn–
Springs subdivision…
“As a well-preserved, English cottage from 1922, 779 Riford Road represents a strong candidate for local designation.
Official recognition would help ensure its character-defining features—like the original fireplace, porch, and hardwood
floors—can be sympathetically maintained for future generations. Style and neighborhood context align well with
Tudor-, cottage-, and Craftsman-inspired homes identified in local surveys of architectural resources.
Imagine… a quiet street lined with mature deciduous trees, where a humble yet carefully composed 1922 English
cottage sits in harmony with its surroundings. Its unassuming scale, thoughtful orientation, and fine details—like the
brick fireplace, classic framed original windows, and screened porch—quietly echo the craftsmanship and suburban
ideals that shaped Glen Ellyn in its golden age.

“Designating 779 Riford Road as a local landmark would:
• Preserve an authentic example of early suburban architecture in the Lake Ellyn area
• Strengthen neighborhood coherence and historical narrative near the lake and downtown
• Encourage sensitive care for original architectural features via tax and regulatory guidance
“In conclusion, 779 Riford Road is more than a home—it’s a tangible link to the era that helped define Glen Ellyn’s
charming character. Landmark protection would honor that legacy, offer preservation incentives, and enrich the village’s
historic tapestry."
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: The 2023 Glen Ellyn Comprehensive Plan details the many
ways that historic character is featured across Glen Ellyn, noting that over 40 individual properties
have been designated local landmarks. The Village maintains one residential and two downtown
commercial historic districts and is sensitive to the Village’s historic character when considering new
developments. The Comprehensive Plan describes the historic character as interwoven with local
identity; and also directs the HPC to encourage further historic preservation in the community by
means of promoting local landmarking, placement of properties on the National Register of Historic
Places, and advertisement of State property tax freezes for restoration projects. The designation of
the home at 779 Riford Road as a historic landmark would be consistent with the recommendations
of the Comprehensive Plan to preserve historic neighborhoods.
Zoning: The subject site is located in an R2 – Single Family Residential District. The property is
currently developed as a single-family home. The properties in the surrounding area are also zoned
R2 – Single Family Residential District. The surrounding properties are developed with single-
family homes.
Effect on the Neighborhood: According to the documents reviewed and the above report, staff
does not believe that there will be any negative effects on the neighborhood resulting from such a
designation.
GEHS or Architectural Resource Survey Status: The home at 779 Riford Road does not feature
a Glen Ellyn Historical Society Plaque, nor does it appear in Village commissioned Architectural
Resource Surveys. The 700 block of Riford Road was surveyed in 2007 by Granacki Historic
Consultants.
Planning Consideration: A review of the information available in the Village files, the
Comprehensive Plan, and the Zoning Code indicate that the home is appropriate for designation as
a Glen Ellyn Landmark for the following reasons:
1. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that properties such as 779 Riford Road contribute to the
character of Glen Ellyn because of its age, design, and construction.
Page 17 of 56
2. The property is consistent with the zoning classification for the area.
3. The structure is harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood.
4. This structure is largely the same as when originally constructed, and it represents a well-
preserved interpretation of a style prominent during that era, in a neighborhood that was
transformed by the early suburbanization of Glen Ellyn in the early 20th Century. It is an
exemplification of a gable-front English cottage architectural type distinguished by its overall
quality of design, detail, materials or craftsmanship.
Budget Impact:
Contribution to Strategic Plan
Action Requested:
It is requested that the Historic Preservation Commission conduct a public hearing during its regular
meeting on September 18, 2013, regarding the home at 779 Riford Road; and to make a
recommendation to the Village Board to approve or not approve the subject property for
designation as a Village Landmark.

Glen Ellyn Historic Meeting 9/18/2025 7:00 PM
Preservation Commission Department: Community Development
535 Duane Street Department Head: Jennifer Henaghan
Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 Category: Discussion Item
Prepared By: Jordan Frahm
AGENDA ITEM (ID DOC ID: 2025-787
# 2025-787)
Landmark Alteration Request - 574 N. Main Street
Statement of the Issue:
The applicant, Studio 1 Architects, requests approval of alterations to the exterior of a Village
Landmark. The proposed rear yard addition requires the input of the HPC. The proposed addition
will conform to the Village Zoning Code. The proposed two-story addition will be constructed in a
compatible style to the existing home and will also include interior remodeling of the kitchen.
Analysis:
The home at 574 N. Main Street in Glen Ellyn was designated as a Glen Ellyn Landmark on January
16, 1992, following the recommendation by the Historic Sites Commission dated September 26,
1991, and a subsequent public hearing on November 21, 1991, pursuant to Section 2-13-3 of Village
Code. The home, which is also a contributing property to the Main Street Residential Historic
District, was determined to be a Glen Ellyn Landmark as it satisfied the following criteria: 1.) Its
value as an example of the architectural and historical heritage of the Village of Glen Ellyn; 2.) Its
identification with persons who significantly contributed to the economic and historical
development of the Village of Glen Ellyn; 3.) Its exemplification of an architectural type and style
distinguished by innovation, rarity, uniqueness and overall quality of design, detail, materials and
craftsmanship; 4.) Its representation of an architectural theme expressed through distinctive areas
districts, places, buildings, and structures that are both contiguous and not contiguous; 5.) Its
distinctive physical appearance and presence representing an established and familiar visual feature
of the neighborhood and the Village of Glen Ellyn.
As noted above, the home at 574 N. Main Street had once been the home of Joseph D. McChesney,
a local businessperson and former Village Trustee, and the home is maintained as an outstanding
example of Victorian architectural style. Granacki Historic Consultants rated the historical
architecture of the home as significant in their 2009 Architectural Resource Survey, assigning a
construction year of the Queen Anne Victorian of 1891. This date was confirmed by the owner at
the time of the landmark designation, Judy Stratton, who testified that she and her husband spent
$30,000 (over $70,000 in 2025 dollars) on exterior restoration work prior to the home’s designation,
and especially remarks on the replacement of shingles that were hand-cut to match the dimensions
of the original shingles and the replacement of approximately 25-percent of the clapboard and the
first story. These efforts were made by the Stratton family at the time of the Landmark designation
specifically to restore and maintain the home.

Within the narrative statement provided by the applicant, the design of the addition "prioritizes a
seamless integration with the original structure" with carefully selected building materials,
architectural details, and massing suited to the home's original style. The addition seeks to
complement the existing home, "ensuring that it not only meets the needs of the Fates family but
will also preserve the architectural integrity of this significant property and the surrounding
neighborhood."
Budget Impact:
Contribution to Strategic Plan
Action Requested:
The applicant is requesting that the Historic Preservation Commission review and consider the
proposed addition and make a determination if the proposed alteration will have an adverse impact
on the landmarked property.

Glen Ellyn, IL. 60137
August 22, 2025
Dear Historic Preservation Commission Board,
The planned residential addition for Tim and Brook Fates at 574 N Main Street, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137,
will consist of an expanded kitchen, dinette and family room. There is an existing back entry door that
will be reconfigured to enter from the north and add a mudroom with storage for the family. Although a
portion of the home’s addition will be visible from the street, we have designed the new portions of the
home to match the existing. The proposed addition has been thoughtfully designed to complement this
existing historic home, ensuring it not only meets the needs of the Fates family but will also preserve the
architectural integrity of this significant property and the surrounding neighborhood.
The design of the addition prioritizes a seamless integration with the original structure. We have
carefully chosen building materials, architectural details, and a massing that are in keeping with the
home's original style. Our goal is for the addition to appear as though it has always been a part of the
home, using complementary materials and a design that respects the historical context of the property.
We are confident that this project will be a positive contribution to both the home's legacy and the
historic character of Glen Ellyn. We look forward to presenting our plans and answering any questions
you may have.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Steven K. Poteracki
President

That drive has earned us 150 patents and counting for amazing innovations.
In 1925 we opened our doors with the patented Rolscreen® retractable screen,
a time-tested innovation that is still one of our most desired features today.
RATED #1 BY HOMEOWNERS
FOR HIGHEST QUALITY 1
We make products specifically for you with meticulous care and attention.
Our wood craftspeople have been honing their skills, on average, for over
14 years — that’s longer than it takes for most to earn their PhD. And it doesn’t stop
there. Our product designs are tested beyond industry standards, so you can trust
them to perform. Door designs are tested to 100,000 open and close cycles, and
double-hung and casement window designs are tested at least 6,000 times.
THE BEST LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
FOR WOOD WINDOWS AND PATIO DOORS 2
You can feel confident in your investment. We pride ourselves on
providing exceptional quality, exceeding expectations and going beyond
requirements. That’s why we stand behind all of our wood windows and
patio doors with a limited lifetime warranty.3

EXCLUSIVE WOOD PROTECTION
Pella’s exclusive EnduraGuard ® wood protection is applied after the pieces have
been cut and milled, but prior to final assembly, providing advanced protection
against the elements.
DESIGNED FOR LONG-LASTING DURABILITY
Intentional jamb-on-sill design helps seal the end grain of the wood and elevates
it off the rough opening, reducing the potential to absorb moisture. For added
strength and durability, our three-way corner joints are made up of mortise-and-
tenon, metal fasteners and commercial adhesive.
QUALITY EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR FINISHES
Extruded aluminum-clad exteriors feature through-stile construction for exceptional
durability and EnduraClad ® finishes that resist fading and chalking. Interiors can be
factory pre-finished to save time. Our prefinish is applied prior to final assembly
and kiln-cured for a quality aesthetic.
