Hinsdale Board Reviews Major Renovation Plans for Magnolia Senior Living
The board held a first read for a major adjustment to a planned development for Magnolia Senior Living at 10 North Washington Street. The proposed changes include interior renovations and mechanical system upgrades to extend the building's life and improve infrastructure, such as replacing cast iron sewers and upgrading cooling systems. The project involves remodeling the entire first floor and moving mechanical units from the roof to the ground floor. The Plan Commission unanimously approved the project with recommendations to relocate a north air conditioning unit and update landscaping. The project maintains the same use as assisted living, with the memory care facility being removed, resulting in 67 beds total. The project is a first read, with a second read planned for August.
Hinsdale Board Discusses Lead Service Line Replacement Policy and Funding Options
The village board discussed and held a first read on a resolution to establish a policy for lead service line replacement. This policy is in response to a federal and state mandate requiring the replacement of all lead service lines within the next 10 years. The village must replace 10% of its lead and unknown service lines annually, starting in 2027. Several funding options for the homeowner's portion of the replacement costs were presented: Option 1 includes a village cost share where the village pays for the line from the main to the 'buffalo box' and offers a 50% reimbursement (capped at $6,000) for the line from the 'buffalo box' to the home. Option 2 is a 50/50 split of all costs. Option 3 has the village pay 100% from the main to the 'buffalo box' and the homeowner pays 100% from the 'buffalo box' to the home. The board engaged in a lengthy discussion regarding the implications of each option, potential financial impacts on residents, and the village's compliance obligations.
Hinsdale Board Reviews Preservation Incentive for Addition at 633 South Washington Street
The board held a first read for a preservation incentive application for a second historically significant structure at 633 South Washington Street. The two-story Tutor Revival home, built in 1927, was added to the historically significant structures list in June. The project includes a one-story, 460 sq ft rear addition to create a mudroom, laundry room, powder room, convert an existing family room to a first-floor bedroom, and reconfigure the kitchen. The addition's exterior will match the existing house's stucco siding and wood timbering. The total project cost is approximately $140,000. The homeowner is eligible for a $10,000 grant and property tax relief over five years on the village's portion of taxes (estimated at $5,900). The Historic Preservation Commission unanimously recommended approval for the building permit fee waiver, expedited processing, and the grant.
Hinsdale Considers Preservation Incentive for Home Addition
The board held a first read for a preservation incentive for a one-story rear addition at 633 South Washington Street. This addition aims to create a first-floor bedroom, mudroom, laundry room, and powder room, while reconfiguring the kitchen. The exterior will match the existing Tutor Revival architecture. The project is valued at $140,000 and qualifies for a $10,000 grant and property tax relief. The Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval.
Hinsdale Board Reviews Facade and Site Improvements for Downtown Buildings
The board held a first read for an exterior appearance plan and site plan for improvements to two existing buildings at 6 West 1st Street and 8 & 10 West 1st Street, located in the historic B2 central business district. The project involves replacing siding, windows, doors, installing black shutters, new black asphalt roofing, and new light fixtures for both buildings. For 6 West 1st Street, a new mechanical unit will be installed without screening, as approved by the board due to space constraints. No changes are proposed for signage, screening, or landscaping at this time. Both the Plan Commission and Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval with no changes. The owner plans to add flower boxes once tenants are secured. The second read is scheduled for August.
