MINUTES GLENVIEW HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION November 29, 2000 The November 29, 2000 meeting of the Glenview Historic Preservation Commission was called to order by Chairman David Silver at 7:30 PM in the Board Room of the Village Hall. Chairman Silver noted that there was a quorum present. Ms. Bak took roll call. PRESENT: Commissioners Eich, Hussman, Neymark, Reder, Ruter, Kramer, and Chairman Silver ABSENT: Commissioners Browne, Dawson, Dickson, Morrison ALSO PRESENT: Mary Bak, Director of Development Helen Wiseman, Staff Liaison Registered Architect - Building and Zoning Department Village President, Nancy Firfer, spoke to the commission to thank them for agreeing to serve on the committee. She felt that the committee would be very interesting since it will be dealing with many judgements to give the buildings the proper designation. Ms. Firfer stated that she felt the community was ready for some type of preservation. She also stated that she didn’t know how long the committee would spend in session not knowing how many cases would be presented to the commission for landmark status. There were no minutes to review since this meeting was the first meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission. Chairman Silver asked if there were any general communications. Ms. Wiseman responded that there was a summary of the Historical Preservation Ordinance, which Ms. Bak will be using and giving an overview of the ordinance, and a copy of the modified Rules of Procedure which Ms. Bak had reviewed and will present to the commission. The commission took some time to introduce themselves and to offer a brief background. Commissioners have all lived in Glenview from 5 to 30 plus years and have a personal interest in the community. There are eleven (11) voting members (including Chairman Silver) on the commission. Six (6) members are needed to have a quorum. It was decided that the commissioners would call Ms. not Wiseman if they were able to attend the scheduled commission meeting. Chairman Silver asked Ms. Bak to make a presentation on the Provisions of Historic Preservation Ordinance. Ms Bak referred to the summary of the Historic Preservation Ordinance that was available to the commission members. The ordinance came about because of an interest from members of the village board and various commissions to proactively protect the perceived landmark buildings in Glenview. The ordinance is modeled after ordinances from other municipalities who have had experience in the area of historic preservation. The Historic Preservation Commission will hear four types of cases: 1. Landmark Designation 2. Certificate of Appropriateness 3. Certificate of Economic Hardship 4. Zoning Variation or PLAN Commission action.
