The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission approved three permit-related items and the minutes from Dec. 10, 2025, at its Wednesday meeting.
Commissioners voted unanimously to approve Findings of Fact and Recommendation for Case A-9-2025, a design-review and sign permit to install a multi-tenant ground sign at 710 North York Road. Staff presented the item with no requested revisions; a motion to approve was moved and passed by roll call.
The commission then approved Case A-503-2025, a special-use permit for a physical fitness facility and health spot to operate as Sage Wellness Sanctuary at 777 North York Road Unit 23 in the B-1 community business district. Commissioners complimented the case write-up as "very detailed," and with no requested changes the motion to adopt the staff recommendation passed unanimously.
On a separate docket of sign permits, the commission reviewed Case A-504-2025, a permanent window sign proposed for Still Barbershop at 20 West Kinsell Avenue. Austin, representing FASTSIGNS, described the proposal as "relatively standard vinyl going on to a window," noting it would be applied on the inside of the glass. Commissioners offered favorable comments on the design’s historic look; no substantive objections were raised. The motion to approve the sign permit carried on a roll-call vote with affirmative votes from Commissioners Krillinberger, Willoughby, Fiosconi, Moore and Chairman Cashman.
The commission concluded its business and adjourned after the votes. No public commenters spoke to alter or delay any of the approvals recorded in the meeting minutes.
