 2025-030A – 8037 Harding Ave (Residential)
 Applicant: Omar Gutierrez
 Owner: Odessa Molina & Nicholas Werth
 Request: 2nd floor addition

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.

 Omar Gutierrez, the project architect described the proposal to the commissioners and
 explained the scope of work along with materials and colors proposed for the project.

 Commissioner Maschek commented that he likes the wide band between the first and
 second floor, ties the addition well with the existing home.


628473
 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented. The vote was
 unanimous with two (2) absences.

 Motion: Archana Shah Second: Julie Naumiak

 Nays: 0
 Absent: 2


 2025-031A – 9325 Harding Ave (Residential)
 Applicant: Nathan Kriska
 Owner: Abraham & Eliza Mafudo
 Request: 2nd floor addition

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.
 Nathan Kriska, the project architect, explained that the windows will be matched with
 black trim and that the siding will also be matched. He noted that an addition completed a
 few years ago utilized siding, which results in the proposal falling below the 51%
 masonry requirement.

 Commissioner Maschek commented that this project is a good example of when the
 masonry requirement does not apply. The commissioners agreed that the proposal is
 aesthetically pleasing despite not meeting the masonry threshold.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented with the
 waiver to include less masonry under the 51% requirement. The vote was unanimous
 with two (2) absences.

 Motion: Julie Naumiak Second: Joe Maschek
 Ayes: 4
 Nays: 0
 Absent: 2


 2025-032A – 5143 Brummel St (Residential)
 Applicant: Rick Reiner
 Owner: Kevin & Robin Hoppenrath
 Request: 2nd floor addition

 Discussion & Interested Parties



628473
 Staff comments were read into the record.

 The petitioner explained that the windows will be accented with a dark brown trim and
 that all windows will be replaced at the same time.

 Commissioner Maschek inquired about the vertical lines on the second floor and asked if
 they were gutters. The petitioner confirmed that the gutters are present due to the gables,
 which direct water to the sides of the home.

 Commissioner Maschek also asked about the front porch and requested clarification from
 the presiding officer, Brian Augustine, regarding its compliance with setback
 requirements. Mr. Augustine confirmed that the front porch is code compliant and further
 noted that it is an existing feature of the home.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented. The vote was
 unanimous with two (2) absences.

 Motion: Joe Maschek Second: Julie Naumiak

 Ayes: 4
 Nays: 0
 Absent: 2


 2025-033A – 9215 Avers Ave (Residential)
 Applicant: Mark Golan
 Owner: Stuart & Andrea Rich
 Request: New Single-Family Home

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.

 The project architect, Mark Golan, explained that the existing home will be demolished
 and the proposal includes the construction of a new single-family home. He also
 explained that the aesthetic will be a “ranch-style” house which fits in with similarly
 styled homes in the surrounding area. Mr. Golan goes on to explain the materials being
 used as part of the proposal.

 Commissioner Maschek inquired about the material used above the garage, Mr. Golan
 explained that it is a Hardie board material, but the home meets the 51% masonry
 requirement.



628473
 Interim Chairman DaMario, asked to see the side elevations and commented that there
 are not many windows on the side elevations. Mr. Golan explained that the reason for this
 design choice is privacy, the home will sit approximately 12 feet from the neighboring
 property.

 Commissioner Maschek commented that the vinyl grey garage door is the first thing that
 everyone will see and suggested that the petitioners consider other options for the
 material being used for the garage door.


 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented. The vote was
 unanimous with two absences.

 Motion: Julie Naumiak Second: Joe Maschek
 Ayes: 4
 Nays: 0
 Absent: 2




 2025-035A – 3827 Harvard Ter (Residential)
 Applicant: Kevin Kazimer
 Owner: Ben & Kate Palomares
 Request: 1st floor addition and front canopy

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.

 The applicant addressed staff’s comments regarding the canopy and explained that the
 homeowners were unaware of the permit requirements, as they had assumed the project
 was consistent with neighboring properties. They stated that they are now seeking a
 Certificate of Appropriateness in order to proceed with the permitting process and ensure
 compliance with all building and zoning regulations.

 Interim Chair DaMario addressed the homeowners and emphasized that both the
 Commission and the Village take a dim view of construction undertaken without permits.
 He noted that any work found to be noncompliant with code requirements would need to
 be removed, underscoring the importance of completing the permitting process in the
 proper order.

 The homeowners, Ben and Kate Palomares, apologized to the Commission and explained
 that they were genuinely unaware of the permitting requirements and did not intend to
 violate any regulations. They stated that their intention was simply to meet their needs for


628473
 an enclosed canopy, which they believed was permissible based on what they had
 observed on neighboring properties.

 Commissioner Maschek commented that enforcement of the permitting process is
 essential to ensure sustainability, efficiency, and the safe construction of all structures.


 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness with the front entry canopy
 to be revised and rebuilt as shown on most recent plans, and for the rear enclosed space
 be subject for review of all the zoning and building code regulations of the Village. The
 vote was unanimous with two absences.

 Motion: Thomas DaMario Second: Julie Naumiak
 Ayes: 4
 Nays: 0
 Absent: 2



 2025-034A – 9340 Skokie Blvd (Non-Residential)
 Applicant & Owner: Spring Property Group LLC
 Request: Façade changes

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.
 Interim Chair DaMario asked the applicants to clarify the proposed height of the parapet
 and whether it would match the height of the adjacent structure. The applicants confirmed
 that it would. Interim Chair DaMario noted that staff’s concern with the proposal was the
 amount of stucco on the storefront, which creates a sense of bulk that is less aesthetically
 pleasing compared to the adjacent structure.

 Commissioner Maschek asked why the applicants were proposing changes to the building
 façade. The applicants explained that they are attempting to secure new tenants for the
 space formerly occupied by “American Mattress.” They noted that potential tenants have
 expressed concerns about signage and indicated a preference for signage that matches the
 height of neighboring tenants in the same multi-tenant building.

 Commissioners Maschek and Shah suggested that the applicants consider replacing the
 existing sloping canopies on the front façade with a flatter style to create additional space
 for signage, which could also save the applicants time and cost.

 The applicants reiterated their request to raise the parapet to match the adjacent
 structure’s height, citing the feedback and demands from prospective tenants.




628473
 The Commission discussed potential options for addressing the applicants’ concerns
 while also taking staff comments into account. Suggestions included modifying the style
 of the canopy, raising the parapet to align with the adjacent building, incorporating
 horizontal elements to break up the façade, and exploring other design features to balance
 tenant needs with aesthetic considerations.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness with the following
 conditions: that the revised height of the northeast corner conform to the submitted
 drawings; that the north and east elevations be revised to include a recessed EIFS box
 similar to the south elevation; and that consideration be given to replacing the existing
 sloping awning with a flatter style. The vote was unanimous with two absences.

 Motion: Thomas DaMario Second: Joe Maschek
 Ayes: 4

To: Michael Lynk, Appearance Commission Chair
 Appearance Commission Members

From: Brian J Augustine, Zoning Administrator/Permit Supervisor
 Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator

Date: September 5, 2025

SUBJECT: APPEARANCE COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

From now on online packets will not contain floor plans and other sensitive information. Floor plans
will be available to view during the public hearing as needed.

Staff offers the following comments on the cases scheduled for the September 10, 2025, Appearance
Commission meeting:

NEW BUSINESS:

RESIDENTIAL REQUESTS

2025-036A 7700 LeClaire Ave – The applicant is proposing a first-floor addition in the rear
 yard.
 Staff has no objections to the proposed elevations. The brick on the addition will
 match the existing brick on the house. The addition has been designed to look like it
 was part of the original house.


2025-037A 3524 Greenleaf St – A similar request, from a different developer, was heard before
 the Commission on May 14, 2025. The applicant is proposing to demolish a detached
 garage and construct an 1,180 square foot 1st floor addition. The addition will consist
 of an attached garage and a multi-purpose room. Due to the size of the addition, a
 fire sprinkler will be required through the entire residence.
 Staff has no objections to the proposed elevations. The brick veneer and siding on the
 addition will match and or complement the existing materials. Staff’s only question
 is regarding the canopy facing Greenleaf St. If this is a new canopy, staff
 recommends a flat, modern-looking canopy.

 Chairman Lynk asked the architect to confirm that the addition is located on the north

 2025-037A – 3524 Greenleaf Street (Residential)
 Applicant: Sinsuk Kang
 Owner: Robert Markman
 Request: 1st floor addition

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.
 The project architect, Sinsuk Kang, explained that the project had originally been
 approved by the Appearance Commission in May. Since that time, the owner changed the
 architect and general contractor, resulting in modifications to the proposal. Mr. Kang
 noted that on the south elevation, windows and brick were added to the façade. On the
 north elevation, three windows were enlarged, and a ramp was incorporated to
 accommodate the accessibility needs of the wheelchair-bound owner.

 Chairman Lynk asked for clarification on the location of the proposed addition and
 whether the bay shown in the renderings was part of the proposal. Mr. Kang confirmed
 that the bay is an existing condition and that the addition would be located to the right of
 it when viewed from the street.

 Chairman Lynk also inquired about the materials for the addition. Mr. Kang stated that
 vinyl siding and brick would be used to match existing conditions.

 Commissioner DaMario asked about the siding color, noting that in the renderings it
 appeared slightly different from the existing material. Mr. Kang explained that the
 variation was due to rendering and shading, and that the siding would match the existing
 color as closely as possible.

 Chairman Lynk commented that the renderings of the rear façade appeared somewhat
 plain due to the extent of vinyl siding. Upon reviewing the rear elevations, the


632199
 Commission agreed that the elevations and renderings did not align, and that the
 proposed rear elevation design was significantly better than what was depicted in the
 rendering.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented. The vote was
 unanimous.

 Motion: Julie Naumiak Second: Jay Pathak
 Ayes: 7
 Nays: 0
