i. Docket No. PC 20-9
680 & 700 Northgate Parkway
Appearance Review
Mr. Anthony Pagliuco, McNelly Services, Contractor was present.
The petitioner originally had the space as a spec suite with no potential tenant. The owner of the
building had a potential tenant who wanted half the space, so they went through a redesign process and part of it was moving two of the windows outward a little further as well as revising the entrance to accommodate both potential suites. It will have a shared vestibule with two spaces. They have a permit in for review for the 680 unit which includes the two windows and the other windows are part of the 700 buildout. The 700 buildout was previously permitted and currently under construction.
Ms. Knysz provided additional background. The building permit came through for 700 Northgate which showed the four windows and door as existing, so the permit got processed, but then they started construction and came back for a revision which showed it as proposed.
Village Staff caught the error and advised them to come in for appearance review for the façade changes since it is visible from the public way. Soon after Staff saw the permit come in for 680 Northgate, they put it together since it was the same contractor. The work for 700 is almost done and the work for 680 (2 windows) is not finished.
In response to Commissioner Yedinak’s question, Mr. Pagliuco confirmed they were still building out two additional windows to the left when facing the door if the 680 buildout gets approved and they move forward with it. He confirmed the two windows to the left of the door will become part of the 680 space.
Commissioner Yedinak questioned if the petitioner would be cleaning underneath the windows. Mr. Pagliuco agreed they had hired someone to power wash and paint. Commissioner Yedinak questioned what would be done to clean up the door that was filled in. Mr. Pagliuco explained the line around the opening would be grouted, then grinded down and repainted to match the existing colors. Commissioner Yedinak expressed a concern if the material was colored and then painted, the fill on the door would still be seen but he felt if it was just paint being repainted it should be OK. Mr. Pagliuco felt it would blend in nicely.
Commissioner Thompson had no questions. Commissioner Creech had no questions.
Commissioner Sprague questioned if the metal canopy needed primer or new paint. Mr. Pagliuco confirmed it had already been painted to match the existing canopies on either end of the building. The canopy was designed to match the existing conditions.
In response to Commissioner Kalis’ question, Mr. Pagliuco confirmed the existing façade was painted and was not the color of the material. He also reconfirmed they would be refreshing the paint. Commissioner Kalis expressed concern about the existing water stains and wants to make sure it gets repainted.
Commissioner Kalis questioned the reason for having four windows as part of the warehouse. Mr. Pagliuco explained the four windows would eventually become part of an office in the future.
Chairman Johnson questioned if a tenant was lined up for the 700 unit. Mr. Pagliuco confirmed they were expecting it to happen unless it fell through.
Commissioner Creech moved, seconded by Commissioner Sprague to approve Docket No. PC
20-9granting appearance approval, as required under Title 19, Zoning, of the Wheeling
Municipal Code and Chapter 19-12, Site Plan and Building Appearance Approval Requirements, in order to permit exterior building modifications necessary to create a shared entrance at 680 and 700 Northgate Parkway, in accordance with the petitioner’s Project Description Letter dated
