Chairman Silver referred to an article that he brought in for the commissioners to read which states that there are “no hard rules for landmarks”. Chairman Silver stated that he felt the article would offer the commissioners insight into what other people have run into in regards to preservation. Chairman Silver stated that he felt it was important for the commission as a whole to continue to review the Rules for Procedures very carefully so that problems may be avoided as they begin to discuss landmarks presented to the commission. Chairman Silver introduced Nan Greenough, Chairperson of Winnetka’s Landmark Commission. Ms. Greenough has had eight (8) years experience. She spoke briefly about the Winnetka commission feeling overwhelmed at first and how politics does put pressure on the commission. Ms. Greenough gave a slide presentation to the commission with insight as well as a touch of humor. Some highlights of the presentation: - Preservation to Ms. Greenough means “quality of life.” - Some things never change. - Changes came about slowly in the early years with rapid change taking place in the last century.
