VIII. Regular Agenda
R. ORD 19-21 Concur with the Historic Preservation Commission’s Recommendation to
Approve an Ordinance Amending Chapter 7 (“Building Regulations”),
Article 9 (“Historic Reservation”), Section 7-9-8 (“Designation Of Historic
Landmarks and Interior Historic Landmarks”) of the Oak Park Village Code
to Designate the Exterior of the Building Located at 640-644 Madison
Street as an Historic Landmark
Douglas Gilbert. Mr. Gilbert is a former chair of the Historic Preservation Commission
and previously considered recommending this property for landmark status. However, that
action was deferred due to the owner's desire to sell the property. He supports the idea of
having a discussion with the developer regarding incorporating this building into their
development.
Frank Lipo. Mr. Lipo requested expanding who can contribute to the discussion with the
developer. He is interested in seeing the facade included in the development.
Frank Heitzman. Mr. Heitzman commented that just because a building is landmarked
does not mean it cannot be changed. He discussed the blending of the old with the new.
Chris Payne. Mr. Payne is the current chair of the Historic Preservation Commission.
His reason for deferring landmark status was also to not interfere with the owner's
marketing of the building. Now that demolition is imminent, there is a sense of urgency.
The facade cannot be replicated today. He discussed what is involved in determining what
aspects of the property can be salvaged.
Chris Donovan. Mr. Donovan discussed how much the Village has lost in property taxes
and how development has been hindered since discussion of designating this property a
landmark began. He does not think the Board should allow forcing landmark status upon
the new owners of this property.
Jerry Ong of developer Jupiter Realty stated that he is more than happy to meet and
discuss this. Village Trustee Boutet asked if they had ever considered preserving this
building. Mr. Ong stated that they had. However, there are challenges with the interior
not being conducive to a conventional food store. In addition, saving the facade would be
expensive. It would have to be dismantled, moved off site, repaired and reassembled. He
can come back with a better idea of the costs.
Village Trustee Andrews stated that this building should've already been designated an
historic landmark. It is not fair or ethical to force the added expense upon the developer
and should have been discussed prior to any deal being made.
Village Trustee Moroney sympathized with both sides of the discussion. He is in favor of
a compromise, it one exists.
It was moved by Village Trustee Boutet, seconded by Village Trustee Tucker, that
this Ordinance be tabled. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote
was as follows:
AYES: 7- Village Trustee Button, Village Trustee Taglia, Village President Abu-Taleb, Village
Trustee Tucker, Village Trustee Moroney, Village Trustee Boutet, and Village
Trustee Andrews

S. ORD 19-17 Concur with the Plan Commission’s Recommendation and Adopt an
Ordinance Authorizing the Vacation of an Alley South of 505 Washington
Boulevard and North of 437-443 South Scoville Street/500-512 Madison
Street in the Village of Oak Park, Cook County, Illinois
Village Manager Pavlicek suggested that this Item be discussed together with Item T, as
they are related. The Plan Commission and staff are recommending adoption of both
ordinances regarding a private parking garage for Fenwick.
Plan Commission Chair David Mann stated that the application was straightforward. The
height and materials match that of the high school. This will take a lot of cars off of the
streets. He noted that vacation of the alley will facilitate ingress and egress to the garage.
Village President Abu-Taleb discussed what a good neighbor Fenwick is.
Village Planner Craig Failor summarized how the value of the land was determined based
on the average of two out of three appraisals and answered questions from the Board.
Village President Abu-Taleb discussed the benefits to the community, noting that this is
private investment and does not affect the taxpayers. He suggested that the Board
consider waiving the cost. Village Trustee Boutet likes that it will ease the traffic burden
and supports this project. She would also like to be flexible. Village Trustee Button
agreed but expressed concern about setting a precedent. Village Attorney Stephanides
read the State Statute that requires compensation to be paid to the Village. Village
Trustees Andrews, Tucker, Moroney and Taglia were opposed to waiving the cost. There
was consensus to accept staff's proposal of $25,000.
It was moved by Village Trustee Moroney, seconded by Village Trustee Button,
that this Ordinance be adopted. The motion was approved. The roll call on the
vote was as follows:
AYES: 7- Village Trustee Button, Village Trustee Taglia, Village President Abu-Taleb, Village
Trustee Tucker, Village Trustee Moroney, Village Trustee Boutet, and Village
Trustee Andrews
