Applicant attorney Patrick McGinnis said Oaks Veil LLC proposes to rezone 1.7 acres to R-4 (single-family residential), demolish existing church structures and develop seven lots with required public improvements: a new Fuller Road water main, road resurfacing, a sidewalk on Fuller Road, repairs to the Oak Street sidewalk and a fee in lieu of the small parkland dedication that code would otherwise require. Staff explained the subdivision code’s parkland-calculation results in roughly 2,000–2,600 square feet of required park land — an amount staff and commissioners said would be impractical for the village to take as a standalone pocket park because of maintenance costs and minimum dimensional guidance in the code.

Commissioners and residents focused significant discussion on stormwater: the applicant’s plan uses localized underground chambers for detention and includes several on-site storm inlets and an overall net decrease in impervious area. Commissioners and neighboring residents questioned long-term maintenance and access for those chambers, noting manufacturer recommendations for periodic inspection and cleaning and the difficulty of performing large maintenance work on small rear-lot easements. Commissioner Mark raised concerns that future homeowners could forget maintenance obligations and recommended village engineering and public works closely review access, pretreatment and maintenance language for the chambers. The commission required village engineering to work with the applicant on the design and maintenance plan for the distributed detention system, and the motion approving the case specifically included that direction.

Commissioners also discussed sidewalk and water-main improvements: staff said the developer will construct a water main on Fuller Road to move individual service connections from the street to the parkway, and the project will add Fuller Road sidewalks and repair Oak Street walks. Commissioners noted the village’s ongoing park master plan and left the fee in lieu of parkland dedication as the village board’s discretion; staff said the fee could be used to improve existing parks elsewhere in the village, which the parks commission had recommended at the board meeting.

Resident Allen Flennard spoke during public comment, citing recurring local flooding near Fuller and Franklin; engineering staff and the applicant responded that the proposal shows storm inlets and chambers and a net reduction in impervious area, which should improve conditions, but committed to confirm soil infiltration and final outlet design with county and village stormwater reviewers. The commission voted to approve the application with the explicit condition that village engineering review the individual stormwater detention elements and focus on long-term maintenance provisions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Plan Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved rezoning and a tentative/final plat to subdivide 620 North Oak into seven single-family lots, with requirements that village engineering review stormwater detention designs and the applicant pay parkland fee-in-lieu of on-site park dedication.","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},6202398,"Owner seeks exterior repairs at 440 E.

Applicant representatives described moisture and gravity-related deterioration of masonry between structural columns in a building likely constructed in mid-20th century modern style. The applicant said a structural engineer recommended removing the masonry infill and replacing it with lighter, powder-coated bronze panels to reduce load and seal vulnerable joints. Architect Greg Starr and the applicant explained they focused repairs on four openings now and anticipate carrying the same approach to other failing openings in coming years as needed.

Commissioners reviewed the structural rationale and aesthetic effect. Commissioner Scott (first name used in the transcript) said the proposed panels “look intelligent and smart” and asked whether the applicant had modeled a full-building treatment; the architect said a full-building treatment had not yet been CAD-modeled but that carrying the panel solution around the building in the future was the intention. Staff confirmed the proposed panel gauge and powder-coat finish are commercial standards expected to be durable and match existing bronze window frames.

Commissioners asked about long-term material availability and whether the roof drainage (parapet/internal drains) had contributed to failures; the applicant said internal roof drains exist and that previous roof work had been done. The structural engineer advised retaining the existing columns because they remain tied into the floor system and are sound; the work will therefore focus on elements between columns. Commissioners and staff agreed the modular bronze-panel solution would preserve the building’s overall lines while addressing water- and weight-related deterioration.

The commission voted to approve the exterior appearance and site plan review for repairs at 440 East Ogden in the B3 General Business District with the applicant’s proposed materials and the expectation the same approach would be used in future repairs as failures appear. Staff and the applicant estimated additional work on other elevations could occur over a two-to-three-year horizon; the commission asked staff to verify final shop drawings and material specifications before permit issuance.

The approved work is limited to façade repairs described in the application; any larger exterior overhaul or full-building refresh would return to the commission for review.","Owners of 440 East Ogden presented structural repairs to address moisture and corrosion in a mid-century commercial building.

Commissioners voted to approve sign permit ADash21Dash2025 for a med spa rebranding at 22 West First Street, ADash26Dash2025 for Pronto Italian Sandwiches at 114 South Washington Street, and case A-36-2025 for Endeavor Health’s immediate care center signage after discussion of readability, placement and nighttime brightness.

Members said the applications were largely compliant with existing rules but pressed applicants for modest changes aimed at reducing visual clutter and improving wayfinding. For the med spa, the applicant said the work is a name-only rebrand and that the new wall signs were “like for like” replacements; commissioners confirmed the letters would be readable from the sidewalk and voted to approve the permit as submitted. Peter Berti, representing Pronto, told commissioners the proposed sign is a replacement of an existing sign and that the building’s other tenant had agreed to the square-footage split. Commissioners asked the applicant to lower the LED color temperature; staff said the sign company would be asked to supply a warmer LED (about 3,500–4,200 Kelvin) and the permit was approved with a stipulation on the lighting tone.

For Endeavor Health’s immediate care, Alrights Sign manager Aaron Livingston explained the request for three signs was to ensure visibility to drivers approaching from multiple directions and to identify multiple building entrances. Commissioners expressed concern about downtown lighting levels and visual clutter but agreed the safety goal of directing patients to an immediate care entrance justified additional signage if toned and worded for wayfinding. The commission approved the application with three conditions: change the north window text from “Endeavor Health” to “Immediate Care,” set the south branding sign to 3,500 Kelvin illumination, and allow the east-facing “Immediate Care” sign to be either 4,100 K or 6,500 K depending on the applicant’s operational need for visibility. Commissioners left the final choice of the east sign’s color temperature to the applicant and required the applicant to confirm the lighting specification with staff.

Commissioners discussed and confirmed operational details during the reviews: the med spa’s side sign letter height (letters reported as about 10 inches on one face and 8 inches on the door), Pronto’s sign footprint relative to building allocation (applicant said it uses approximately 65% of the storefront allocation), and the immediate care center’s placement and lighting schedule (applicants said exterior illumination would be on a timer and the proposed window sign faces into a parking lot). All three motions passed by roll call vote.

The commission’s approvals include conditions intended to balance businesses’ visibility needs and neighborhood concerns about brightness and sign scale. Applicants were directed to work with staff to confirm the final lighting specs and to ensure signage placement matches the approved plans.","The commission approved three downtown sign permits — for a med spa rebrand, Pronto Italian sandwiches and an Endeavor Health immediate care center — imposing size, wording and color-temperature conditions to address visibility and neighborhood lighting concerns.","actionData","errors"]
