Chairperson's Report - Rita Schneider Chairperson Schneider reported that the Historic Preservation Commission’s webpage of the Village’s website has been updated with the exception of the Local Landmark map. Revisions to the Local Landmark map were discussed for staff direction. The Lombard Historical Society requested staff prepare a similar map for honorary plaques throughout the Village. Chairperson Schneider reported that Ordinance 8066 for local landmark status for 245 W Maples Street will not be corrected. The Village Attorney determined that the Historic Preservation Commission no longer had jurisdiction over the final wording. At issue is whether the structure was moved in December of 1960 or January of 1961. The fact that the building was the rectory for Sacred Heart and moved to its present location is important, but the exact date of the move is not, especially since the uncertainty deals with a period of less than 30 days.
