Motion to Close the Public Hearing A motion was made by Commissioner Fetters and seconded by Commissioner Anstee to close the public hearing. The motion passed by a unanimous vote. Discussion Relative to the Designation of 128-132 W. St. Charles Road as a Landmark Site The Commissioners discussed the issue of exempting signage and lighting as a condition of approval. A precedent was set by including this condition in the list of conditions of approval for 101 W. St. Charles Road in 2015. The property owner of 128-132 W. St. Charles Road has a copy of the staff report and has the understanding that signage and lighting would be exempt therefore an explanation would be required if this condition is removed. Commissioner Myers volunteered to prepare a letter to Mr. Masterson explaining the removal of condition #2 of the staff report. Lombard Historical Commission Action 160330 128-132 W. St. Charles Road Request to direct staff to prepare a written recommendation to the Village Board for approval by the Historical Preservation Commission at a future meeting regarding the designation of 128-132 W. St. Charles Road as a landmark site. (DISTRICT #1) On a motion by Commissioner Henaghan and seconded by Commissioner Myers, the Historic Preservation Commission voted 8-1 with 1 abstention to recommend 128-132 W. St. Charles Road be designated as a landmark site based on Section 32.079(C)(1), (2) and (3) subject to the following four conditions: 1. The landmark site designation is limited to the exterior of the existing building, as built circa 1927, and is further limited to the building’s current location on the property at 128-132 W. St. Charles Road. 2. Any proposed exterior painting shall require a certificate of appropriateness if other than the existing color. Maintaining the existing colors of paint would not require a certificate of appropriateness. 3. The property and structure shall be maintained in good condition.
