Staff presented five mounting and layout options for the plaque. Commissioners favored a pair of freestanding post plaques (one on each side of the main steps) because the layout preserves symmetry and allows a second plaque later; Commissioner discussion criticized mounting plaques directly into the brick wall as potentially damaging and less flexible.

Trustee Fisher suggested a wording change in the second paragraph to match language used on the plaza: replace the phrase “war dead” with language closer to “those brave soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice to our country.” Staff agreed to adopt that edit and to correct punctuation and capitalization noted during review. The commission voted to approve option 4 and directed staff to finalize the plaque wording and to confirm fabrication lead times with the plaque vendor.

Staff said the plaque line item is not yet budgeted and will coordinate with administration on funding; commissioners agreed to proceed with one freestanding plaque initially (left side of the steps) and leave open a second plaque pending budget and finalized language. Staff will circulate a final draft of the plaque text to commission members before ordering and will seek expedited fabrication if Memorial Day installation is possible.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Historic Preservation Commission","oneSentenceSummary","The commission chose a freestanding, two-plaque-compatible post design for a memorial plaque at the village hall plaza (option 4), agreed to minor editorial changes to the text and asked staff to pursue fabrication with the goal of installing one plaque by Memorial Day.","taxTitle","Hinsdale, DuPage County, Illinois","taxId",70303,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273687,"Commission approves preservation incentives and forwards grant recommendation for 306 East First Street renovation",572,4865000,5437000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2997803-1fa0750b7dcd91be6295250334f6d8cf&start=4865&end=5437","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2997803-1fa0750b7dcd91be6295250334f6d8cf/thumbnail_4865000.jpg","/articles/6273687/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Commission-approves-preservation-incentives-and-forwards-grant-recommendation-for-306-East-First-Street-renovation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273687-1cbd708d88d3e0112b9a5cfcba598ed4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775771685&Signature=JkpNLVkLya45D9wVLLUFqzmou5Xw1onx6~W8w8aW33f3Z8MocghRfpCCmT-k4CPPLVpLJKhRFe3sZhcHjJ4d5XpJvgZXb1MaEHSU0oX1nHA~NM2fSLEB~7L21qDD8G7tkOL9QIyywJD6EuHnQPzDLFAYK5cDFTvl8Ynyj-ikYnJ3CvovxPXX992AmMlfafrt-JCKe0hElyhuA5-IpYBtrYtjGDAMjN6SA~YFslLcUXkoJtkdWYqGayLjmGCeol6hC4RnDKkYxE60YuOJ-mFRKjXQ6EklurFxWbIPBb5Yk-T2pdjwDPQP6Dp6ZixotGVw7JEAu7j5hRqk04dbaZK6kw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission on April 14 approved a preservation incentive application for the historically significant house at 306 East First Street and forwarded a recommendation for a property tax rebate and matching grant to the Village Board.

Commission discussion focused on extensive exterior restoration work planned by the owners, including brick tuckpointing, limestone repairs and replacement of deteriorated steps and structural lintels. A local masonry expert (named in discussion) reported that some limestone and lintels were in poor condition and that like‑for‑like repairs and sample mortar analysis are appropriate preservation practices.

The motion (case HPC-8-2025) to approve building permit fee waivers and expedited processing carried on roll call; a second motion recommending a property tax rebate and matching grant to the Village Board also passed. Commissioners and staff emphasized the work will likely be phased because of the scope and the need to address all elevations and chimneys over time.

The commission did not record any amendments to its motions. Staff will forward the commission’s recommendation and supporting materials to the Village Board for final action on tax rebate and matching grant requests.","The commission approved a preservation incentive package for 306 East First Street that includes expedited processing and a building permit fee waiver, and it recommended a property tax rebate and matching grant to the Village Board.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273692,"Commission recommends matching grant for roof replacement at 518 South Garfield Street",566,4286000,4852000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2997803-1fa0750b7dcd91be6295250334f6d8cf&start=4286&end=4852","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2997803-1fa0750b7dcd91be6295250334f6d8cf/thumbnail_4286000.jpg","/articles/6273692/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Commission-recommends-matching-grant-for-roof-replacement-at-518-South-Garfield-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273692-fc1c33418b46560d9220cbcac86d545c/orig.mp4?Expires=1775771685&Signature=niq3ubuYgcyt3KAQl39YnO5CWHvUmsVgO3RtsIzatQ9KGlcck-wzG3~hTv6874nAn5P7~CreeUteJV2WG0RQRdJ4pi~mDkxuroVcawvUwW9xo6xYXerk1ma-0STJ1raHYPiIn~kHvtwVDrlzYrmytIRn9zaZIZ-aKmzJcvt55bKAHsf0Sc52iPkrrpQj~hqxnSepaiZsD5ZzvvhP~9~DH8InL~3ESpeyn-qDXHJ7jM88LluYeLGECeUP3N0be2KhBgnXV2tMgDuE~iwzc9p2eonZR-khOJkBGeGljBJ1InjBENeSi1oyOSSMFxIxf24awfK6epW73-8-OsPO7~QeEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission on April 14 approved a preservation incentive application for 518 South Garfield Street and voted to recommend a matching grant to the Village Board to fund roof replacement.

Owner Christie Nicholson Sharma told the commission the house’s original slate roof — roughly 100 years old — is failing and was allowing water through masonry around south-facing arched windows. She said a high-quality composite slate alternative (DaVinci) would cost about half of full slate and be lighter, which may better protect the structure. “It was twice the cost,” she said when commissioners asked about original slate vs. composite pricing, referencing contractor estimates.

Commissioners and present preservation experts emphasized the need for correct underlying work before aesthetic treatments: chimney and masonry repairs and appropriate flashing and gutters. The commission approved the HPC motion to recommend a matching grant (case HPC-7-2025); the recommendation will be forwarded to the Village Board for consideration.

No formal amendments were recorded in the commission’s motion. Staff noted the commission’s recommendation is advisory for the Village Board; the board will decide whether to provide matching funds.","The commission approved a preservation incentive application and voted to recommend a matching grant to the Village Board to help offset the cost of replacing an original slate roof at the historic house at 518 South Garfield Street.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6273697,"Commission recommends tax rebate and matching grant for 213 South Clay preservation project",727,3489000,4216000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2997803-1fa0750b7dcd91be6295250334f6d8cf&start=3489&end=4216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2997803-1fa0750b7dcd91be6295250334f6d8cf/thumbnail_3489000.jpg","/articles/6273697/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Commission-recommends-tax-rebate-and-matching-grant-for-213-South-Clay-preservation-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273697-29cea1fa02d9f054876c024e849be7dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1775771685&Signature=I4Bo0YThdDsjCe0zGY~1kvV8mJc~5l1vbP85XiVtZQ-td5UooQb86w-KSi9mVVOT4nd2gs0F4aWTwUP5lUdkr1kwDWOImpaCbdo4gkdUI8x1oxlmgzYGyHz1Xs-b6mjwELKUNkWdyXtG3PiqlxjXpM~XVolnTb9nkUJ3s6LxmyeXGJElEpiwIRztmkWxrl9~InNC1gMbQwPVcUvhdyhbYZU-Kh79Dzg-OXUcy81dNgw8giWYtTrHYNEWEWmWxOrYq7PPCkUSXe261vVMpS7Egih2vLpM3cC7mGf91KgVuPXe5VIV~yNgD1Tx58eANtRTMCsfaE65beozn1G64cTqpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission on April 14 approved a preservation incentive application for the historic house at 213 South Clay Street and voted to recommend a property tax rebate and matching grant to the Village Board.

Maria Ivanova (who uses Marie) and architect Randy King presented the application. Ivanova told the commission, “We bought the house with the intent of preserving its original structure,” and described the owners’ goal to merge historic character and modern functionality.

Commission discussion praised the work by local staff in creating the incentive program and recognized early outreach to prospective buyers as a factor in saving the property from demolition. Commissioners voted in favor of the HPC approvals; the second motion — recommending the property tax rebate and matching grant to the Village Board — carried on a roll call vote with Commissioners Gonzales, Harlow and Olsen and Chairman Bonin recorded as voting aye.

Staff advised that alternative bulk zoning requests (including FAR relief), building permit fee waivers and expedited processing are within the commission’s authority; the property tax rebate and matching grant require Village Board action, which the commission forwarded as a recommendation.

The commission did not record any amendments to its motions.

Commissioners approved the motion by roll call, with Commissioners Gonzales, Harlow and Olsen and Chairman Bonin voting aye. The application did not require Village Board approval for the items before the commission, according to staff.

Applicant Katie Knoebel, owner of Home Crafters, introduced the proposal on behalf of the homeowners, Jenny and Chris Sizer, who were not present. Architect Dennis Parsons described the plan to retain the house’s primary historic spaces: “we were able to keep the living room… we kept the dining room, and we kept the stairway,” while adding a larger family area and modernized services for a family of four. Parsons said the exterior details — overhangs, window types, siding exposure and floor-to-floor heights — will be followed to preserve the home’s character.

Parsons also noted restrictions tied to an easement on the front and porch area owned by the state and explained the project will expand to the west and restore an existing south screen porch in its current size and location. Commissioners praised the proposal as an example of the preservation program’s purpose: saving a significant historic home while accommodating an appropriate addition.

The commission’s formal motion (case HPC-5-2025) authorized the preservation incentive package, including waiver of certain bulk regulations and fee and processing accommodations; the motion passed by unanimous roll call vote of those present. The homeowners will proceed with building permits consistent with the commission’s approval.

The commission did not record any amendments to the motion during the vote. Staff noted alternative zoning relief for FAR (floor-area ratio) was among the requests the commission is permitted to grant under local rules.","The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission approved a preservation incentive application to permit a rear and side addition, covered patio and exterior alterations at the historically significant Beck House, with alternative bulk zoning waivers and expedited processing.","actionData","errors"]
