Old Business: Consideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness for
Residential Properties
Case 2022-067A- 4600 Main St- New Residential Development
Discussion and Interested Parties
Fitzgerald Architects presented the case.
The proposal was amended from the initial 5-story building to townhomes.
A palate of brick, stucco, and stone are used to be compatible with the
neighborhood.
He added that window size and locations have been modified in this proposal
based on concerns from neighbors. 3rd floor bedroom windows have been
removed. Living room and dining room windows on end elevations on 2nd floor
are preserved for natural light.
The building elevations are a composite of brick, stucco, fiber cement siding,
stone, metal canopies.
Each building is 6 units. Each unit has distinct features, but they mirror one
another as well.
An alternating checker-board pattern is created with the use of different
materials.
Trees # 12 and 13 are feared not to survive construction and will be removed
and replaced.
Chairman Lynk is unsure about the amount of white cement board.
The architect responded that an all red and yellow brick façade was rejected by
Staff.
Chairman Lynk added that the Commission does not want aluminum siding.
Commissioner Maschek said the fiber cement stands out. He said that traditional
or contemporary in design are options but that it should not be both. He added
that conformity with surrounding structures should not be done at the expense
of quality.
Chairman Lynk asked for the original submittal that was changed after Staff
input.
Commissioner Maschek mentioned that the flat single canopies above the door
can be doubled making it flat to mimic the stoop.
Chairman Lynk said that the cement board makes it look ‘cheap’.
Commissioner Maschek asked Staff to project the design that features gables
and bump outs. The Commissioner compares the two designs. He stated that
more brick should be added and that he does not like the dog house-like roofs.
Commissioner Maschek likes the contemporary look. He suggested a complete
material board to better evaluate colors.
Commissioner Naumiak asked what color the windows would be.
The petitioner replied, white.
Chairman Lynk said that he likes the bricks shown on the sample board.
Commissioner Naumiak asked what color the canopies would be.
The architect showed the dark steel grey sample.
Commissioner Naumiak said that the doors should be in that color as well.
Commissioner Klein stated that she wants to see perseveration of existing trees
as well as adding larger trees to soften the project.
The petitioner presented a video of the proposed project.
The petitioner added that the clubhouse was being removed for open grass
based on feedback.
Commissioner Maschek referenced the neighbors’ concerns with the 5’ fence
height.
The petitioner replied, stating that it would be a 6’ tall fence solid vertical board
to board with no gaps.
Public Comment
Speaker 1:
References and summarized letter submitted and signed by 66 community
members with concerns about the development.
Chairman Lynk reiterated that only appearance related comments would be
heard.
Speaker stated that massing and density are an appearance related concern.
Also stated that the proposal reduces green space. They also noted that the
petitioner has not applied for the planned development designation. They stated
that neighboring buildings are shorter than the proposed development.
She also stated that the proposed development façade is out of character with
the neighborhood. Speaker noted that for sake of maintenance and sound
insulation, the proposed fence should be a brick one.
Speaker 2
Speaker 2 commented that green space in Skokie is now more valuable than
ever. He referenced a past comment by Chairman Lynk that something would be
built on the land of proposed development and asked the Chairman how he
knew this.
Chairman Lynk said he concluded this based on the sale of the property that
something new was going to be developed on site. Chairman Lynk also noted
that the comment was not Appearance related.
Speaker 3
Agreed with Commissioners about adding more brick, doors having combined the
overhang, not liking dog-house style overhang.
Speaker 4
Showed a slideshow about comparable community facades. Discussed homes in
the area and stated that all are brick façade. He also stated that he does not feel
that fiber cement board fits with the neighborhood.
Chairman Lynk asked if he was bothered by the white fiber cement board. The
speaker said, yes. Chairman Lynk asked the speaker if he would like to see one
continuous brick color. The speaker replied, no.
Slideshow showed facades of new construction around Skokie. The speaker said
that all are classic and not trendy or contemporary.
Speaker 5
The speaker also presented a slideshow. The speaker said that the proposed
building is taller than surrounding properties.
The speaker referenced an appeal with the Plan Commission and said that 12
buildings cannot be on one lot.
The speaker showed other townhome developments around Skokie. He stated
that most of the others are near businesses, schools, highways and not next to
R1 zoned properties like the proposed one is.
Speaker 6
The speaker asked about who will maintain trees and landscaping on site. Staff
stated that there would be a landscape agreement with a separate ordinance
should the development be approved. Staff also added that landscape bond
money is held to ensure compliance with approved landscape plan.
Speaker 7
The speaker stated that density is related to the appearance and that the
development would be one of the largest in the area and is not in keeping with
the neighborhood.
The speaker said that the project will not benefit the neighborhood and will
drastically affect the quality of life, and that she did not like the appearance of
the building.
The petitioner’s party returned to the podium.
The architect said there is no objection to going to all brick façade and removing
white cement panels. Relief is being asked on this between the 2 story windows.
They stated they have no objection to combing canopies into a single canopy.
Commissioner Naumiak asked if the door could be a glass door.
The architect responded that there will be a glass panel in the door.
Chairman Lynk asked about the fence material.
Commissioner Maschek asked if the posts would be wood or steel.
The architect responded, wood.
Commissioner Maschek said that metal posts would be nice. He also asked if the
fence would go the entire length.
The petitioner said that part of the fence is on the neighboring property.
Chairman Lynk said if the neighbors agree, the fence should be consistent.
Chairman Lynk said that the fence should be an upscale and quality one.
Commissioner Maschek asked about materials and suggested that a brick with an
interesting look can be utilized rather than with fiber cement. He also asked
about whether there could be additional windows on the side elevations. He also
suggested exploring adding a soffit above the 3rd floor window so it appears less
flat.
Commissioner Maschek pondered whether additional green area could be added
where 24’ bricked drive aisle is without impacting parking.
Chairman Lynk stated that this is part of Plan Commission and should be
disregarded.
Commissioner Maschek added that there should be a landscape maintenance
plan.
Chairman Lynk requested that the project be re-presented to include all brick
elevation, brick element to replace white board area, varying color of lighter
color cement board or improved rendering, continuous canopies, soffit or feature
above upper window, cut sheet of proposed fence and windows on side
elevations.
Commissioner Maschek clarified that it need not necessarily be additional
windows on the side elevation, but something to dress up the corner.
Commissioner Shah added that lighting on site should be addressed.
A resident asked about the configuration of fencing around the two recreational
parks. Chairman Lynk asked what the neighbors prefer. The preference was for
the area to be open. Commissioner Maschek said he’d rather see resources
diverted to the privacy fence than around the parks.
Recommendation and Voting
Case continued to October 25, 2023. No Vote was taken.

FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
INTENDED USE INSTALLATION
The WPX LED wall packs are designed to provide a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for WPX can be mounted directly over a standard electrical junction box. Three 1/2 inch conduit ports

for replacing up to 150W, 250W, and 400W HID luminaires respectively. WPX luminaires deliver a conduit wiring on surfaces that don't have an electrical junction box. Wiring can be made in the
uniform, wide distribution. WPX is rated for -40ºC to 40ºC. integral wiring compartment in all cases. WPX is only recommended for installations with LEDs
