Vine St., a project that would convert a former Zion Lutheran Church school building to age-restricted housing.

Chair Stifler summarized the proposed changes: the development’s approved unit count would drop from 12 to 7 — comprised of two four-bedroom units, two three-bedroom units and three two-bedroom units — and unit sizes would increase to as much as 2,754 square feet. The change increases minimum lot area per unit from 2,220 to 3,805 square feet and reduces maximum units per acre from 19.6 to 11.4. The developer also proposes 22 parking spaces (versus 11 required by code), which the applicant and trustees described as improving the neighborhood parking situation.

Drew Mitchell, a project representative, said removing the property from the FEMA flood plain altered mechanical and parking designs and enabled use of the lower level. Mitchell said the market has shown demand for larger units and that the team expects the first move-ins about one year from now. He added, “we have a 3 to 1 parking ratio on these units,” reflecting the project’s parking plan.

Contractor Craig Ross described site changes including a lowered courtyard wall, added landscaping to screen utilities, a generator for common areas, a change in window type to European tilt-and-turn for ventilation and egress, and a guardrail atop a new concrete retaining wall. Ross and Mitchell discussed photometric concerns: because the building entrance is very near the property line, exterior lighting for safety may exceed the 0.5-foot-candle maximum at the immediate property line; they said illumination levels meet code once across the street.

Chair Steve Cashman of the Plan Commission and Stifler indicated they had reviewed and signed off on the adjustment and recommended it proceed directly to second reading rather than returning to the commission. Trustees indicated consensus to move the matter to a second reading and vote at the next meeting; no final vote was taken Monday.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village Board Meeting May 13th 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Developers and trustees discussed a second major adjustment to convert the former Zion Lutheran school into seven larger age-restricted housing units, reduce density and change parking and site elements; trustees agreed to move the item to second reading for final approval next meeting.","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},6059825,"Hinsdale approves as-built changes at Fuller's Car Wash, removes decorative wall requirement",1847,536000,2383000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3293590-ffabbcfb4016e79bafd10075880168f2&start=536&end=2383","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3293590-ffabbcfb4016e79bafd10075880168f2/thumbnail_536000.jpg","/articles/6059825/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Hinsdale-approves-as-built-changes-at-Fullers-Car-Wash-removes-decorative-wall-requirement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059825-3a7cbaf22663d9bcc6a28fe0134837f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184839&Signature=IQTPt-z9MJV8biqY1lO8~ovA-MFVZxPrxvtyq4NUEy9D2d9fKo~BL~7~urxz-DMTOXeNlFrG7qGeM-S-b8a1oNm7s0DjwHsEWX7kMd-I70WMjo3lY5OrBQXPdpkH1XW~tbhKyX0CN5iM3HAWhodR3eLPKcv0Z~mrG0VojgwjrZ7iGFwsN9exoyBiKuwkjGMDmRjVH4Wkax6-EPlLr96yaVa2OrrypKFSqNvQ2ttFi2uR8IlS~3AYDfokcrEU44pGjklIZ0MCpSoH5RHgwyo-J5blmkVHnh9ZGW97heb6lagQcVZcDFTzt3WAiKn4WiWQNpcL-JH9i4hpstTDwfojtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Hinsdale Board of Trustees voted Monday to approve a major adjustment recognizing as-built conditions at 102 W. Chicago Ave., commonly known as Fuller's Car Wash, formally approving stronger bollards already installed and removing a previously required decorative brick wall from the site plan.

President Greg Hart described the two elements as serving different purposes: the bollards for pedestrian safety and the brick wall for aesthetics. Hart said the installed bollards were revised after review to meet a specified performance standard — stopping a 5,000-pound vehicle traveling at 40 miles per hour — and were confirmed to meet that standard by Aug. 9, 2024.

Because engineers raised concerns that the approved decorative brick wall could pose a public-safety hazard, the major adjustment removes the wall requirement from the earlier site-plan ordinance. Hart said, “the fact that the Fuller's are in bankruptcy does not factor into this decision. If the wall were still deemed safe and necessary, we would pursue its construction through every appropriate legal channel.”

Trustees waived the first reading and approved the ordinance on a roll-call vote with all present members recorded as “aye.” Temporary Jersey barriers remain in place along the Chicago Avenue and Lincoln Street frontages; Hart said he directed village staff to work with Fuller's representatives and the bankruptcy trustees to identify and implement an appropriate permanent alternative to ensure safety along those frontages.

Trustee Stifler, who introduced the item, and other trustees thanked residents and staff who reviewed plans and participated in the process. The ordinance approves the site as constructed and waives application requirements and fees to process the major adjustment at this meeting.","The board approved a major adjustment to authorize stronger bollards already installed at Fuller's Car Wash and removed a previously required decorative brick wall after engineers raised safety concerns; the village directed staff to coordinate a permanent safety solution with the property owners and bankruptcy trustees.",{"_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},6059828,"Hinsdale board adopts updated affordable housing plan to meet state deadline",1544,690000,2234000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3293590-ffabbcfb4016e79bafd10075880168f2&start=690&end=2234","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3293590-ffabbcfb4016e79bafd10075880168f2/thumbnail_690000.jpg","/articles/6059828/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Hinsdale-board-adopts-updated-affordable-housing-plan-to-meet-state-deadline","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059828-1936c26cb77ad5e54831723bdcf02b60/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184839&Signature=nj-gWiBcwa3pVivdkMJqNqjwCaVf93rdyUyqxeXAGXuzmSr5NmUSWWV3yztlqIv9cRO8bcT1KRbhiqf~LdriuXyoNj~qJ9~3wLfAXcBDO5469Q6OIh4E6OITWcGZgQiLw5sTn-5O5CodTIksCFosXMWpYMzu9MDbYABP2eYsEjR5-RcnVpx8ljxIqyy-PdkG6J9ei1wp2Usee3kLesvt7KYOGwBiEAsNBxC3Dn4qZ0KgT~PV0fZICO4RVtJZOSaZT-4nJjRubmqGXVJ-Jfq5K8BQGJmJb9GrQvNU2CpRl6u-D5-eKs90lIzqg14E5iSnF2RBJMgHxBExQhaYa1RK2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Hinsdale Board of Trustees on Monday held a public hearing and voted to adopt an updated affordable housing plan the village prepared to comply with amendments to Illinois law.

The update, presented by village staff and developed with Tusca Associates, was approved after trustees voted to waive the first reading so Hinsdale could meet the state deadline. President Greg Hart and Trustee Stifler stressed the update is intended to satisfy statutory requirements, not to change village zoning.

The plan revises the village's documentation to align with 2023 amendments to the Illinois Affordable Housing Planning and Appeals Act and updates demographic and housing data using the 2019–2023 American Community Survey, according to Hart. He also said the plan identifies potential policy tools and incentives — including reduced permitting and utility fees, expedited permitting, and coordination with state and federal agencies — and maps 28.3 acres zoned R-5 and R-6 as areas “most appropriate for potential future affordable housing.”

Trustee Stifler moved to waive the first reading and approve a resolution adopting the update; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all present trustees recorded as “aye.” No members of the public spoke during the hearing.

Hart said, “To be very clear, this is not a new policy initiative by the village. This update is being undertaken solely to comply with Illinois law, which requires a submission of an updated plan by June 2025.”

The board’s action completes the village’s statutory process: an advertised public hearing followed by board consideration. The resolution and the updated plan will be filed with the village clerk as required by the statute.","The Village of Hinsdale held a public hearing and then voted to waive first reading and adopt an updated affordable housing plan required by recent changes in Illinois law; no public comments were offered at the hearing.","actionData","errors"]
