 Chairwoman Ory, Santucci, and Wills

 Absent: Brown, Fawell, Garrison (Secretary), Losurdo, and Sack (non-voting)

C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 Bill Simon, Naperville Preservation Inc., updated the Commission
 about the Suburban Preservation Alliance meeting that was held by
 Naperville Preservation Inc. and Landmarks Illinois at the local
 landmark Naperville Women’s Club. Simon also noted that a City
 Councilmember stated there would be some work done on the light
 poles in the Historic District and that Naperville Preservation Inc.
 will be hosting a future tour of Naper Settlement’s archives. Simon
 asked if the light poles will be reviewed by the Commission.


 Philip Buchanan updated the Commission about the Suburban
 Preservation Alliance meeting. Buchanan recommended people to
 visit North Central College’s mid-century modern gallery. Buchanan
 also commented that Blair Kamin spoke about architecture in
 Naperville at a North Central College event.


 Councilman Kelly responded that the light poles will be upgraded to
 LED fixtures and will be the same style as the existing light poles.


 Commissioner Franczyk commented that the warmth of the new
 lights may change with the conversion to LED.


D. OLD BUSINESS:

1. Provide direction on the Historic District banners

 Bill Simon, Naperville Preservation Inc., likes the 119 N. Brainard
 Street banner as is and recommended that the 409 E. Chicago
 Avenue banner be on a different color background and to add more
 detail on the windows.


 Commissioner Franczyk recommended adding a point on the map
 showing where the banner is located, making the banners more
 cohesive with one or two colors, and having one side of each
 banner include the Historic District map with a URL or QR code at the
 bottom.


 Commissioner Wills noted ECHO preferred the 5 N. Columbia Street
 banner based on their public comment, North Central College’s

City of Naperville Page 2 Printed on 12/2/2022
Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes September 22, 2022

 banners are a simple style, and that the map may be difficult to
 read.


 Chairman Jacks agreed that the map design may not be viable.


 Vice Chairwoman Ory respectfully disagreed, and stated the map
 was viable and that the location marker on the map connects the
 viewer with where they are in the Historic District. Vice
 Chairwoman Ory also noted that the location marker is powerful
 and connects you with the Historic District.


 Commissioner Wills recommended putting the QR code on
 something else at the base of the light pole.


 Commissioner Franczyk responded that the QR code could be
 scanned by someone walking by, but drivers may not use the tool.


 Councilman Kelly commented that he liked the map design and
 preferred the light blue background, that the map design should be
 located at the four corners of the Historic District and would defer
 to ECHO on the architectural design banner.


 Commissioner Franczyk recommended the same blue background
 with white text be incorporated on all banners to be cohesive.


 Chairman Jacks commented that the 5 N. Columbia Street shingle
 element may be difficult to see, the 144 S. Sleight Street element is
 not seen very frequently in the Historic District, and the 119 N.
 Brainard Street element is more common in the Historic District.
 Chairman Jacks also noted agreement with the recommendation to
 have white accents and blue background for all banners.


 Vice Chairwoman Ory summarized the Commission’s requests: four
 designs with five copies of each design, all banners will have the
 map with a QR code on one side, and the opposite side will have
 the architectural detail. Vice Chairwoman Ory listed the banners to
 be used include 119 N. Brainard Street, 110 S. Sleight Street changed
 to have the same blue background, 5 N. Columbia Street with the
 pattern reworked to be white and not behind the text, and 409 E.
 Chicago Avenue with the same blue background as the other
 banners and the windows edited to add more detail.


 Commissioner Franczyk added that “Naperville Historic District”
 should be in the same location on all banners. Commissioner
 Franczyk also commented that the 110 S. Sleight Street feature
 should be edited to remove the portions on the side, so it is sized

Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes September 22, 2022

 similarly to the other architectural features.


 Vice Chairwoman Ory commented that the 15 S. Sleight Street
 design does not match the other architectural feature banner
 designs.


 Chairman Jacks agreed and noted that 329 School Street would be
 difficult to see compared to the other designs.


 Commissioner Franczyk brought up the color choice for the banner
 and asked Alma Recendez, FASTSIGNS, about which color was used
 for the light blue.


 Alma Recendez responded the light blue is #005696.


 Commissioner Santucci recommended seeing the size of the banner
 and how the designs would appear to scale on the full-size banner.
 Commissioner Santucci also asked what the expected life of the
 banner is.


 Alma Recendez estimated the banners would last a few years.


 Vice Chairwoman Ory asked about next steps in the banner process.


 Kathleen Russell, Community Planner, responded that a final vote is
 not needed, FASTSIGNS would revise the designs, and the
 Communications Division would review the final designs. Russell
 asked what the QR code would link to.


 Councilman Kelly noted there is a walking tour published by Naper
 Settlement of the downtown, but that the QR code could link to the
 City’s Historic District website.


 Commissioner Franczyk asked the reasoning for fonts used in the
 designs.


 Alma Recendez responded that the fonts were based on other
 Naperville publications.


 Chairman Jacks summarized the requested banners include 20
 banners total, 5 of each design, 119 N. Brainard Street, 110 S. Sleight
 Street, 5 N. Columbia Street, and 409 E. Chicago Avenue with the
 revisions described in the initial summary by Vice Chairwoman Ory,
 and the other side of the banner will be the map of the Historic
 District, the QR code instead of the Naperville logo, and a location
 marker. Chairman Jacks also noted all banners would be color

Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes September 22, 2022

 #005696 and will have “Naperville Historic District” in the same
 location.


 Philip Buchanan asked if the SECA logo would be added to the
 banner because of the funding.


 Councilman Kelly responded that the funding for the banners was
 through the general fund.


 Chairman Jacks noted the prior banners did not have the SECA logo.


 Alma Recendez asked if the locations of the banners are finalized.


 Kathleen Russell responded that staff will work with the
 Department of Public Works to determine the locations.


 The Commissioners all agreed with Chairman Jacks final summary
 through a voice vote.
