Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes October 22, 2020

1. Consider the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for 219 North Ellsworth Street - COA
 20-3281
 Joseph Alvarez, property owner, presented the case and
 summarized the work that was already completed on the primary
 façade.


 Public Testimony:


 Tim Messer spoke on his concern with the approval of the request
 and suggested the HPC deny the request for HPC COA approval.


 Chairman Peterson asked for clarification on the white material
 below the windows.


 Joseph Alvarez confirmed the material is wood and stone.


 Chairman Peterson noted he would not have approved the COA if it
 was brought to the HPC prior to the work being conducted because
 it is not replacing like for like.


 Vice Chair Jacks asked if the brick was original and who conducted
 the work.


 Joseph Alvarez answered that he could provide the credentials of
 the contractor.


 Vice Chair Jacks agreed with Chairman Peterson in that the work
 may not have been approved if it was brought to the HPC prior to
 the work being done.


 Commissioner Urda noted he was in favor of accepting the request
 as-is.


 Commissioner Ory asked what Naperville could do to communicate
 to a resident that their property is located within the Historic
 District; and what is stopping people from doing work without
 approval.


 Commissioner Urda noted there are fees in place for work done
 without approval.


 Commissioner Garrison asked what the cost would be to return to
 the original material.


 Joseph Alvarez responded that he did not have exact numbers but
 the cost would potentially be more than what it cost to install the

Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes October 22, 2020

 stone.


 Commissioner Doyle asked what does the Historic District mean to a
 resident.


 Commissioner Urda noted the economic reasonableness and cost to
 return to the original material was concerning.


 Chairman Peterson questioned setting precedent with the case.


 Commissioner Doyle asked if they should have applied for a permit.


 Kathleen Russell, Planning Services Team, responded that a
 building permit would be required.


 Commissioner Ory questioned what is the obligation of the City to
 inform residents about living in the Historic District; and how should
 we communicate the Historic District requirements.


 Commissioner Doyle asked what the notification is to residents in
 the Historic District.


 Commissioner Eveslage noted that people have backed out of deals
 in the past because they originally did not know a home was in the
 Historic District.


 Kathleen Russell, Planning Services Team, noted there is no formal
 notification to new residents from the city when they move to the
 Historic District, but workshops have been held in the past to go
 over the HPC process and regulations within the Historic District.


 Gabrielle Mattingly, Planning Services Team, noted Naperville
 hosed a 2017 seminar and invited residents in the Historic District.


 Chairman Peterson spoke in support of further discussion on
 notification of residents.


 Commissioner Garrison asked for clarification on the next steps if
 the COA is denied.


 Kathleen Russell, Planning Services Team, responded that the
 petitioner could either bring the property in compliance, if
 possible, bring a new proposal to the HPC, or appeal the HPC’s
 decision to the City Council.


 Vice Chair Jacks noted he would have voted no on the new windows

Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes October 22, 2020

 and doors.


 Chairman Peterson noted the door would not require HPC approval,
 but the windows may require approval.


 Commissioner Urda noted that the fees can be done per item.
 Commissioner Urda also asked if a building permit was required for
 the windows.


 Joseph Alvarez responded that they did receive a permit for the
 windows done in 2017 and that they did not change the front façade
 windows. Joseph Alvarez noted appreciation for the conversation to
 protect the district. Alvarez also noted he may not have purchased
 the home if it was known the home was in the Historic District.


 A motion was made by Commissioner Urda and seconded by Vice Chair Jacks to
 approve COA 20-3281 for consideration of the proposed modification to the
 exterior façade to cover the existing brick at the base of the primary façade with
 stone for the property located at 219 N. Ellsworth Street.
