D. OLD BUSINESS:

 signed by the HPC.

 encouraging with key points and links for where to find
 information.

 and brought up combining notification in the mail with door
 hangers.


 Commissioner Franczyk suggested sending a letter from the City of
 Naperville.

 mailing.

 designed to catch peoples’ attention. Commissioner Urda also
 recommended the notice be sent to all real estate offices.

 estate offices.

Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes January 28, 2021

 Tim Messer recommended sending out an annual letter from
 Naperville.


 Commissioner Urda questioned whether the mailing is too late,
 since those receiving the mailing have already purchased property
 in the Historic District.


 Erik Haugsnes commented in support of the mailing and
 recommended using square UPC symbols so recipients can easily
 get to the website without having to type the URL.


 Carol Schmidt suggested reaching out to the area board of realtors
 on how to distribute the mailing. Schmidt also noted that the letter
 compared to the postcard in terms of importance is significant.


 Chairman Peterson emphasized that the Naperville logo on the
 mailing is important. Chairman Peterson also stated it would be
 appropriate for the mailing to be signed by the HPC.

1. Consider the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for 7 North Wright Street- COA
 20-4670
 Mark Landhauser, Reliable Home Improvement, presented the case.


 Public Testimony:


 Tom Ryan spoke about the importance of looking at the existing
 porch as an example. Ryan also noted the details such as the neck of
 the column where it meets the beam, alignment of the beam,
 shape of pilasters, width of the new porch and tapering of the
 column are important aspects that should be considered.


 Carol Schmidt stated that the window and door materials are
 components of the proposal that should be taken into account
 during the review.


 Mark Landhauser clarified that the new windows would be divided
 in the same way as the existing windows.


 Chairman Peterson noted the slope of the roof of the porch
 compared to the roof of the residence could be changed from 6/12
 to 8/12.

Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes January 28, 2021

 Commissioner Franczyk stated that the COA was a great
 improvement and the addition in the rear makes the home look
 more proportional to the land. Commissioner Franczyk also
 questioned if the dental molding on the existing home could be
 brought down to the porch and what the stone material would be at
 the base of the porch.


 Vice Chair Jacks asked if the door was already replaced and for
 clarification on the shingles.


 Mark Landhauser clarified that the door was already replaced and
 the shingles on the porch would match the existing shingles.


 Commissioner Urda questioned if the changes to the front of homes
 were encouraged.


 Carol Schmidt noted the HPC is tasked with approving changes that
 are appropriate and historic.


 Commissioner Urda stated the addition is tasteful, but noted
 concern about chipping away at the Historic District in approving
 changes.

 Commissioner Franczyk asked if the shutters were going to be
 brought back.


 Mark Landhauser noted it could be discussed with the homeowner,
 but the shutters were removed and never put back on.

 approved COA.


 Mark Landhauser stated he was unsure if the work was done under
 an approved COA.
