Lombard Historic Preservation Commission recommends designation for projecting sign at 16 South Park Avenue
Summary
The Historic Preservation Commission met Feb. 11 and Feb. 18 and recommended that the projecting sign at 16 South Park Avenue, advertising Punke's, meet the criteria for historic-sign designation; the HPC will transmit the recommendation to the Village Board for final consideration on March 6.
The Lombard Historic Preservation Commission met in two special sessions, on Feb. 11 and Feb. 18, and recommended that an existing projecting sign at 16 South Park Avenue that advertises Punke's public establishment be designated as a historic sign.
At its Feb. 11 meeting the commission found the request complies with the criteria for designation. The commission then held a findings-of-fact session on Feb. 18 and voted to recommend approval of the historic-sign designation. The commission also approved its annual report at the Feb. 11 meeting, commission members reported at the Board of Trustees meeting.
Why it matters: A historic-sign designation can affect future signage regulations and give the sign a protected status under local historic-preservation rules; the recommendation now moves to the Village Board for final action.
What happens next: The HPC will transmit the recommendation to the Village Board for final consideration at the March 6 board meeting, where the board may accept or decline the designation or request additional information. No final board action on the designation was taken at the Feb. 20 meeting.
