The Commission stated the awning was appropriate for the area and the building. They stated there should be a condition that the height of the installed awning is consistent with the height of the other awnings on adjacent storefronts, and the proposed lighting be confirmed once finalized.
On a motion by Commissioner Mattingly, seconded by Commissioner Christopher, the Commission
AGREED to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for the Maki Sushi & Noodles Shop Awning – Pickwick Theater Building, 12 South Northwest Highway, subject to the height of the awning being consistent with neighboring awnings and that the additional information regarding lighting be confirmed once finalized.

2. Discussion Items
i. Architectural Survey
Chair Barclay explained that Ms. Guzek would not be present at this meeting, however, she had printed out selected page information of the survey for distribution. She relayed that the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA) had approved the format of the survey and explained that Ms. Guzek would be seeking feedback regarding the presentation of the materials. Several of the finished pages were reviewed by the Commission. It was determined that pursuing landmark designation on additional properties within the area should wait until the survey had been completed. Thumb drives will be made available for Commission members to review over the summer. There was further discussion regarding possibility of designating the Hinkley Park swimming pool building with landmark status.
Chair Barclay explained that the final step would be to review the survey over the summer, place the survey on the discussion agenda for the next meeting, and finally to place the survey on the agenda as an action item the following month.
