CHAIR’S COMMENTS
Chairman Bortel stated that staff has been interviewing for two new planners and the village is now a
member of the National Association of Preservation Commission. Chairman Bortel indicated he would
like to have a CAMP in 2023.
COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS
Commissioner Olsen would like to see the one lane bridge on Old Renwick Road to be landmarked and
restored. Commissioner Olsen asked if the bridge is part of the bike path. Mr. Proulx stated the park
district has been pursuing grants to continue the bike path and thought the bridge was part of the bike path
plan. Commissioner Olsen stated the park district was at the meeting she attended, and she was under the
impression the township was not into preserving the bridge. Commissioner Rapp stated the bridge is in
the township. Chairman Bortel asked staff if this could be perused as a landmark. Mr. Proulx stated he
will talk to Dan Seggebruch, since he is also on the Will County Historic Preservation. Commissioner
Olsen asked if they are able landmark this since is not in the village. Mr. Proulx stated owner consent
would be required. Chairman Bortel stated Will County HPC does not need owner consent to landmark.
Commissioner Derrick asked why the bridge spared. Mr. Proulx explained the original vision was to
have bridge part of the Plank Road trail. Commissioner Derrick explained that alignments can be
changed because of a bridges’ a unique design type or history/importance. Chairman Bortel stated there
may be a possibility to work with the Park District and Township to landmark and restore the bridge.
Commissioner Schmidt stated he was approached to create some design ideas to use the bridge for an
attraction. Commissioner Derrick stated an event could be held on the bridge to fund raise for the
restoration.

COMPANY KACIE WADYCKI
Mr. Proulx stated the Plan Commission did recommend approval of the site plan review.
Mr. Proulx stated the petitioner is proposing to construct a pergola structure with canopy in the courtyard
adjacent to the restaurant building to provide an area for covered outdoor dining. The courtyard was
recently improved with outdoor dining, decomposed granite landscape material, planter boxes and a tree.
The request will require consideration of a site plan review by the Plan Commission and certificate of
appropriateness (COA) by the Historic Preservation Commission.
Mr. Proulx reviewed the staff report dated March 22, 2022. Mr. Proulx concluded In advance of any
public comment or discussion by the Historic Preservation Commission, staff and the Plan Commission
support the proposed structure.
Commissioner Rapp likes the structure as presented.
Commissioner Hagen likes that the structure is setback from the sidewalk, and it will blend into the metal
staircase next to it. Commissioner Hagen is agreeable with the applicant adding some decorative features.
Commissioner Olsen asked if the structure is metal or wood. Mr. Proulx indicated that the structure will
be wood and painted black. Commissioner Olsen stated she had used the corrugated plastic material in
the past and it did not weather well.
Commissioner Derrick stated the applicant said during the Plan Commission meeting that the roofing
material will be polycarbonate. Ms. Wadycki stated this material is specifically made for pergola type
structures and the product claims a long life without yellowing it will also provide UV protection, is fire
rated, and anti-fog. Ms. Wadycki stated at this time the structure will not be heated but she would like to
heat it in the future.
Commissioner Schmidt asked how thick the product is. Ms. Wadycki stated there are many widths to
choose from the manufacturer Lexan Cover Light. Ms. Wadycki stated this structure will make the
outdoor dining experience safer for the costumers because of the wind that come through frequently lifts
their umbrellas. Commissioner Schmidt indicated that as the structure is presented it will not be able to
support the product. Mr. Proulx stated the builder indicated at the Plan Commission meeting additional
supports will be needed.
Chairman Bortel would like the structure to be more rustic looking to blend in better with the historic
downtown by adding brackets. Chairman Bortel is not sure black is an appropriate color since the area
has more browns. Chairman Bortel asked will sides be added when it is heated. Ms. Wadycki indicated
yes and they would be roll down tarps that would not be permanent.
Commissioner Derrick suggested the applicant to trim the ends and add some more details so it can blend
in better. Ms. Wadycki explained what elements she has already added to the property to help it blend

into the downtown. Commissioner Olsen stated she likes the darker color for the pergola. Ms. Wadycki
stated she is willing to add more detail.
Commissioner Rapp asked if the parking in the rear will be maintained. Ms. Wadycki stated they have an
upstairs tenant and those are their parking spaces.
Commissioner Olsen asked if a more detailed plan will be submitted when they get their permit. Ms.
Wadycki confirmed. Commissioner Derrick asked if there is an age on the warranty before it yellows.
Ms. Wadycki handed Commissioner Derrick product information. Ms. Wadycki stated it is easily
accessible for power washing. Commission Derrick stated there is nothing in the product information
regarding a yellowing warranty and asked the applicant to obtain the information before she goes before
the Board. Commissioner Olsen suggested a canvas cover. Ms. Wadycki stated a fire rated roll up cover
is too costly.
Commissioner Derrick surveyed the commission on their feelings of the polycarbonate cover and
trimming the ends. Ms. Wadycki indicated that they were planning on adding a fascia, so the
polycarbonate cover edges are not visible. Commissioner Derrick asked if the HPC is allowed to approve
the final drawing by email. Mr. Proulx stated final plans can be emailed to the commissioners and each
commissioner can provide their comments individually, without a group discussion.
Commissioner Derrick made a motion to recommend approval of the modified Certificate of
Appropriateness for a covered pergola structure adjacent to 24104 W. Lockport Street, subject to
execution of a Letter of Agreement with the HPC, applicant, and Village staff to accept the following
conditions of approval:
1. Structure - Addition of brackets to add detail – fascia to go all around structure – needs more
joists; and
2. Drawings – Accurate drawings by architect to be submitted to staff for HPC members to review
via email to provide opinion to whether the COA conditions are met; and
3. Polycarbonate Cover – applicant to provide information to staff regarding the yellowing
warranty of the product; and
4. Any design changes that deviate from what was presented at the Mach 24, 2022 meeting of the
HPC and not included as part of the agenda packet must be reviewed by the chair and the staff of
the Planning Office for substantial conformance with the COA approval.
Seconded by Commissioner Schmidt. Vote by roll call: Hagen, yes; Olsen, yes; Rapp, yes; Schmidt, yes;
Derrick, yes; and Bortel, yes. Motion carried 6-0.
1963-032222.COA UPTOWN TAP CHRISTINA KOLLINTZAS
Mr. Proulx stated the applicant is proposing modifications to the front façade of the two storefronts that
make up the combined Uptown restaurant at 24035-24037 W. Lockport St. The objectives of the façade
improvements include enhancing the overall appearance of the restaurant and also unifying the look of the
two separate buildings’ storefronts into a cohesive restaurant image. Because the property is located in the
Village’s Downtown Historic District and the National Register of Historic Places, this work requires
approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness. While not recommended for local landmark status, both
buildings are identified as “Contributing” both locally and for the National Register district
Mr. Proulx reviewed the staff report dated March 22, 2022. Mr. Proulx concluded in advance of any
public comment or discussion by the Historic Preservation Commission, staff supports the awning and
signage aspects of the proposed project and seeks direction relative to the façade painting component.

Commissioner Olsen asked if there are two PIN numbers for the buildings. Ms. Kollintzas confirmed.
Commissioner Olsen feels this should remain two buildings and asked where the front step is. Ms.
Kollintzas stated that they are not removing the step, they want to paint, replace the awning, and vinyl
heat wrap the upper bricks. Commissioner Olsen asked if the windows are being replaced and if they are
repairing the cornices. Ms. Kollintzas stated no. Commissioner Olsen and Chairman Bortel stated the
rendering provided looks like a totally different building then what the applicant is proposing.
Commissioner Schmidt asked if the awning would cover the wood. Ms. Kollintzas explained where the
awning will be placed and stated the paint the choose will blend in with the limestone. Commissioner
Hagen asked if the awning is aluminum. Ms. Kollintzas stated it is a standing seam aluminum awning.
Commissioner Hagen stated he doesn’t think the aluminum awning because it doesn’t fit the downtown.
Commissioner Olsen asked if they would restore the cornices. Ms. Kollintzas stated the cornices are in
great shape and they will just be painting them the same color they already are. Commissioner Olsen
asked the applicant if she owns the buildings. Ms. Kollintzas confirmed. Commissioner Hagen asked if
the brick will be painted. Ms. Kollintzas stated the brick will be vinyl wrapped and the wrap is applied
with heat and is removed the same way. Commissioner Olsen asked if the siding will be removed. Ms.
Kollintzas stated there will be no demo done.
Commissioner Olsen asked if the sign meets the downtown sign standards. Mr. Proulx stated internal
illumination is prohibited and feels the lighting source is visible. Commissioner Olsen asked if the sign
code has anything about design or compatibility with the surrounding signs. Mr. Proulx stated the signs
in the Central Sign District is supposed to relate to the building. Commissioner Derrick stated the
concept sign is something you see historical and added the sign does not intrude of any character defining
features. Commissioner Hagen asked what purview they have over the sign. Chairman Bortel stated the
sign needs to meet the village ordinances.
Commissioner Rapp stated that the proposed does not keep the two-building look since it has always been
two separate buildings. Ms. Kollintzas stated as a business owner having it look like one building would
help. Commissioner Derrick stated that the awning and sign are temporary changes and feels that HPC’s
job is to manage that none to the character defining features are irreversible destroyed. Commissioner
Derrick also added that she does not mind the metal awning and for her it is more about not painting the
brick, she would also like more information on the vinyl wrapping of the brick. Chairman Bortel agrees
with Commissioner Derrick that they need more information about the vinyl wrap so they can ensure it
will not damage the brick. Commissioner Olsen asked if she is using the awning and sign to tie the
building together. Ms. Kollintzas confirmed. Commissioner Derrick asked what the depth of the awning.
Ms. Kollintzas stated it should be the same depth of the current awning.
Ms. Kollintzas stated the sign will help people to know where they are going, and the intent is to have all
the colors blend in with the limestone.
Commissioner Derrick asked if the commission is ok with the painting of the limestone. Ms. Kollintzas
stated they will not be painting the limestone, just cleaning it. Commissioner Derrick clarified that the
COA request is for painting of the old deli building, vinyl wrapping the upper bricks (more information
needs to be provided by the applicant regarding this product), painting of cornices, awning spanning the
lengthen of the two buildings which the dept will be maintained aluminum standing seam. Mr. Proulx
added the sign as well, if there is any feedback. Ms. Kollintzas stated the LED lightbulbs would be
comparable to a 4-watt lightbulb. Commissioner Schmidt asked what is the color temperature. Ms.
Kollintzas stated 2,700 lumens. Commissioner Derrick stated it would need to be a warmer light.
Commissioner Olsen stated the sign could cause a lot of holes in the brick. Ms. Kollintzas stated she will
try and mount letters to the mortar. The commission suggested a backing to the sign, so there is less holes

in the mortar. Commissioner Derrick asked what the commission feelings are on the awning. Ms.
Kollintzas asked their feeling if the awning was copper. Chairman Bortel suggested matching the awning
color to the streetlight.

1964-032222.COA BIG SAMMY’S MIKE MAYERS
Mr. Proulx stated the applicant is proposing modifications to the storefront window opening at the
restaurant at 24036 W. Lockport St. to incorporate an ordering “pass thru” window. Because the property
is located in the Village’s Downtown Historic District and the National Register of Historic Places, this
work requires approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness. While not recommended for local landmark
status, the building is identified as “Contributing” both locally and for the National Register district.
Mr. Proulx reviewed the staff report dated March 22, 2022. Mr. Proulx concluded staff supports the
proposed window alteration. Staff believes that change does not detract from the historic fenestration,
height, proportion or relationship of the window openings from the existing to proposed condition. Staff
also believes the proposed change can readily be restored back to a fixed window within the existing
opening at any point in the future.
Commissioner Derrick asked what type of framing will be needed. Mr. Mayers explained how no
framing would be needed because it is encased. Commissioner Olsen asked for clarification that the
entire existing window will be removed. Mr. Mayers confirmed. Chairman Bortel suggested they save
the window that is removed. Commissioner Rapp asked if there will be outdoor seating. Mr. Mayers is
hoping to have outdoor seating.
Chairman Bortel asked the applicant if he spoken to the Will County Health Department. Mr. Mayers
stated the County had no issues because they will only be serving Italian ice and gelato through the
window. Commissioner Schmidt asked if they will be required to install an air curtain. Mr. Mayers
stated they will need to install just a screen.

the outside of the building. Mr. Mayers indicated the counter in on the inside of the building and
explained how the window will appear from the outside. Commissioner Schmidt asked what the window
dividers will made of. Mr. Mayers stated it will be white vinyl. Commissioner Derrick asked if the wood
frame will stay. Mr. Mayers stated it will stay.
Commissioner Derrick made a motion to recommend approval of the requested Certificate of
Appropriateness for a replacement window with pass-thru opening at 24036 W. Lockport Street, subject
to execution of a Letter of Agreement with the HPC, applicant, and Village staff to accept the following
conditions of approval:
1. Pass-thru Window – Replacement of the glass only for the eastern-most window on the ground

Application for Rehabilitation Grant – April 2022
The Ptacek family, current owners of 15126 S Fox River St, would like to apply for funding from the
Village of Plainfield Rehabilitation Grant Program for two exterior improvement projects. The house,
designated as the “Hartong Smith” house, was the first historically-designated house in the village.
The two projects that fall under the grant application are as follows:
1. Tuckpointing maintenance for the brick exterior of the home
2. Historic restoration of two windows that flank the living room fireplace
Tuckpointing is required in certain areas to maintain the appearance, safety, and condition of the home.
The restoration project would be considered historically appropriate for several reasons:
1. On the application for historic designation, it was called out on the South facade of the house
“Two small windows, which once flanked the flat, broad, projecting chimney have been
removed”
2. Visible brick patchwork can be seen on the exterior where the windows had previously existed
(see attached photo)
3. Interior renovation work in the living room unveiled the two original interior windows, bricked
in from the exterior side
4. Photograph from the Historical Society of the Village Green, showing in the distance the house
as originally designed with the fireplace flanking windows
5. Existing fireplace windows that are currently present and visible on another similar house built
by Clinton Hartong on Bartlett (formerly 802 N Bartlett Ave)
The project would involve the following items:
1. Remove exterior bricks that are not original and covering up the previously-existing windows
2. Install a steel lintel to support the remaining brick work above (note that it appears one lintel
may still exist)
3. Install limestone sills to match the ones on the other house windows
If there is any other information needed to approve grant funding for these projects, please don't
hesitate to reach out.
Thanks,
