Commission approves historic plaque for 614 South Illinois
Summary
The Little Park Historical Preservation Commission voted to approve application HP 2602 to install a historic plaque at 614 South Illinois after staff reported limited applicant response and commissioners concluded the property meets the commission’s age and architectural criteria.
The Little Park Historical Preservation Commission voted to approve application HP 2602 to install a historic plaque at 614 South Illinois.
Staff presented the application and said the commission had contacted the applicant multiple times without response; the packet on the screen contained the commission’s available documentation. The presenter noted the property is roughly 100 years old and recommended the commission act so plaques could proceed for the April board meeting.
Commission members asked whether the submission met the commission’s formal guidelines and whether missing materials would disqualify the application. One commissioner said, “So bottom line is they do meet our requirements,” and recommended approval. Another commissioner described the house as historically significant and of Chicago bungalow style and moved to approve the plaque.
The motion to approve was seconded and carried by voice vote. Commissioners did not record a roll-call tally; the minutes reflect an affirmative voice vote and the motion’s passage.
Next steps listed by staff include finalizing plaque production and submitting the approved name and text to the board for the April meeting.
