MINUTES GLENVIEW HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION April 26, 2001 The April 26, 2001 of the Glenview Historic Preservation Commission was called to order by Chairman David Silver. Chairman Silver had called the special meeting of the commission at the request of Village Board President Larry Carlson. The purpose of the meeting was to determine whether or not the building located at 1771 Dewes, had any historic significance. Chairman Silver noted that there was a quorum present. Present: Commissioners Browne, Eich, Kramer, Morrison, Neymark, Reder, Ruter, and Chairman Silver ABSENT: Commissioners Dawson, Dickson ALSO PRESENT: Mary Bak, Director of Development Jeffrey Randall, Village Attorney Steven Messmer, TRJ Group Attorney TRJ Group Owner/Representative Caleb Christopher, Architectural Historical, CG Consultants TRJ Group representatives were at the meeting at the invitation of Mr. Jeffrey Randall, Village Attorney. Both Mary Bak and Jeffrey Randall stated the Historic Preservation Commission could have an informal meeting to discuss the property at 1771 Dewes St. There is a provision under the Rules and Procedures which the commission is presently working under that allows for a special meeting to be called with 48 hours notice. Chairman Silver asked the commissioners if they had reviewed the transcript from the th April 17 Village Board meeting regarding the property under discussion. All of the commissioners present had read the transcript and all had gone to look at the property under discussion. Chairman Silver stated that he feels that the commission is in a sensitive area and time in developing the rules under which the commission will operate. He also stated that he is concerned that this will set a precedent that any old building requesting a permit for demolition will be directed to the Historic Preservation Commission for review. Chairman Silver stated that he hopes that will not happen because he feels that it is not correct. Not every old building in the Village of Glenview has historic significance. Commissioner Morrison stated that she was in agreement with Chairman Silver’s concern. She feels that a provision is lacking for the Plan Commission or Zoning Board to get an informal opinion rather than submit to the Historic Preservation Commission for review. Chairman Silver restated that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the building at 1771 Dewes St. He stated that the commission could tell the Village Board that: 1. this commission feels the building may have historic value and would like to research it further; or
