Appearance Commission

MEMORANDUM Community Development Department To: Michael Lynk, Chairman and Appearance Commission Members From: Peter Peyer, Community Development Director Carrie Haberstich, Planner Nathan Kriska, Building and Zoning Supervisor Brian Augustine, Zoning Administrator Date: February 8, 2013 SUBJECT: APPEARANCE COMMISSION/CASE SUBMITTAL – STAFF REPORT Staff offers the following comments on the cases scheduled for the February 13th Appearance Commission meeting: RESIDENTIAL REQUESTS 2013-005A (9222 Lotus) Staff has no objections with the overall design and recommends that the color of the proposed wrought iron elements on the second floor match the color of the existing window frames and muntins. 2013-006A (3849 Clifford) Staff has no objections with the overall design; however, the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) requirements must be met and provided on the Zoning Information Worksheet. COMMERCIAL REQUESTS 2012-056A (7096 Carpenter) No new material has been submitted. At the December 2012 meeting, the Appearance Commission unofficially supported a simple parapet design for this tenant space. 2012-064A (7550 Kostner) Staff has no objections with the overall sign concept; however, the “North” must be removed from the address, as directions are not used in official Skokie addresses. An application for the consolidation of 7 Property Identification Numbers (PINs) will be necessary prior to the issuance of a sign permit. 2013-007A (4999 Old Orchard) Staff has no objections with the overall design; however, it is recommended that the wall sign be shifted down slightly so it is not so close to the top of the parapet roof. Prior to the issuance of a Building Permit, the debris along the entrance driveway must be removed. VOSDOCS-#423788-v1-February_13_2013_Appearance_Commission_Meeting_Report 1
