March 2, 2026
Village Planner Michael Blue, Teska Associates, provided an overview of the application history, noting
that the project has been reviewed at two Architectural Review Commission (ARC) meetings, two Plan
Commission meetings, and two Village Board meetings. Mr. Blue summarized the Village Board’s
decision to remand the application to both the ARC and the Plan Commission for additional review.
He explained that the Village Board requested the commissions to:
• Evaluate potential design modifications to mitigate the impact of the building’s height. These
considerations may include, but are not limited to:
o Removal of the penthouse
o Adjustments to the fourth-floor setbacks
o Elimination of the top floor
o Exploration of a maximum building height of 40 feet
• Provide feedback regarding the potential public benefits associated with the development
proposal
Mr. Blue also presented a brief overview of the applicant’s revised concept. The updated proposal
eliminates the previously proposed commercial uses and instead consists entirely of residential units,
with a maximum building height of 40 feet.
The applicant, Michael Freiburger, then introduced the revised proposal in greater detail. Mr. Freiburger
reviewed the feedback provided at the prior ARC meeting and summarized the various design iterations
that had been considered. He presented the updated concept and discussed how, in his view, the
proposal aligns with the key components of the Village’s design guidelines.
Mr. Freiburger also outlined potential public benefits associated with the project. Among these was a
proposed contribution toward enhancements to the Park Drive median to support its function as a
community gathering space.
Following the applicant’s presentation, the Commission began deliberations. Commissioner Armstrong
asked several technical questions regarding floor-to-floor heights. Acting Chair Hackley acknowledged
the applicant’s efforts to reduce the building height to 40 feet and stated that the overall scale was
moving closer to what had been requested. He suggested further refinement of architectural elements
to continue reducing perceived scale. Commissioner Ozga commented favorably on the design and
expressed the view that the applicant had made meaningful efforts to reduce the building’s scale. Chair
Pilant continued to express concern regarding the massing and scale of the building in relation to
surrounding structures. He noted the complexity of transitioning between commercial and residential
uses along the corridor. Commissioner Joyce raised concerns about setbacks along the remaining sides
of the building and the potential for long, uninterrupted wall planes.
Commissioner Armstrong commented on the “shed dormer” and the curved or “swooping” design
element, suggesting these could be further set back to help reduce massing. He also suggested recessing
the building entrance as a way to reduce perceived scale. Acting Chair Hackley stated that the building’s
solid-to-void relationship helped mitigate massing concerns, a view with which Commissioner Ozga
agreed. Commissioner Cepuritis stated that if the project is now exclusively residential, the design
should more clearly reflect a residential character and better align with the surrounding context. He also
inquired whether any portion of the building would overhang adjacent properties; Mr. Freiburger
confirmed that it would not.
Hearing no further discussion from the Commission, Acting Chair Hackley opened the meeting for public
comment. David Joyce expressed concern regarding the application process, stating that residents did
not have sufficient time to review the revised concept. Eric Miller, a rear neighbor, expressed concern
4

about the building’s height and its visual impact on his backyard, stating that he was concerned about
facing a large wall. Bill Tribe raised concerns about the procedural process and suggested that the
application should restart. Alice Read questioned whether the proposed public benefits justified an
increase in height from 35 feet to 40 feet. Justin Kozlowski stated that the design did not fit within
Kenilworth and described it as overly modern. Rob Wiebking expressed continued concerns regarding
massing and the design of the rear elevation, noting that it would directly affect his view and potentially
impact alley traffic. April Palin stated that the design did not align with the historic character of the
Village. Jeanne Keiler raised concerns about the proposed height and the perception that developers
may be permitted to exceed standards that residents must follow. Marjie Zander expressed concerns
regarding the application process, as well as the size and density of the development. She also stated
that, in her view, the proposal does not meet the design guidelines. Vivian Vahlberg emphasized the
importance of the rear elevation design and suggested exploring whether similar residential
development could extend further down Park Drive.
Mr. Freiburger responded to questions and comments from both the Commission and the public. He
sought clarification on specific concerns and expressed openness to exploring additional design
refinements, particularly regarding the rear elevation and potential modifications to address concerns
about the building’s modern character.
The Commission then discussed next steps and clarified what action or feedback was being requested at
this meeting. Village Attorney Megan Mack and Mr. Blue provided guidance, reiterating that the matter
had been remanded to the ARC at the direction of the Village Board to obtain additional feedback on the
proposal. Ms. Mack posed the following question to the Commission:
Are the reduced building height and proposed design in keeping with the intent of the design guidelines
for the Green Bay Road Corridor?
A straw poll was conducted. The results were as follows:
• Yes: Hackley
• No: Joyce, Armstrong, Ozga, Cepuritis, and Pilant
Ms. Mack requested that the Commission provide specific, actionable feedback to be forwarded to the
Plan Commission and Village Board. The Commission identified the following areas for further
exploration:
1. The design was described as overly “crisp”; consider incorporating more traditional Tudor
elements to soften the appearance.
2. If the building is exclusively residential, the architectural character should more clearly reflect a
residential design while maintaining an appropriate transition along the corridor.
3. Explore alternative designs or modifications to the shed dormer.
4. Revisit the “swoop” design element to address massing concerns.
5. Consider additional step-backs for residential portions of the building.
6. Provide more detailed information regarding the rear elevations.
7. Explore reducing ceiling heights to approximately 8 feet to 8 feet 6 inches to further reduce
overall building height and massing.
8. Consider recessing the lobby entrance.
9. Evaluate the incorporation of horizontal banding within the window bays.
10. Explore asymmetrical design elements to further break up the building’s mass and reduce
perceived scale.

Subject: Certificate of Appropriateness – 402 Green Bay Road
Petitioners: Melissa Cook of Lucky Lane Gifts, LLC
Tenant: Lucky Lane Gifts, LLC
Owner: Jim Nash of Farnsworth-Hill, Inc.
Location: 402 Green Bay Road
Zoning: B Business District
Requested Action: Approval of Certificate of Appropriateness
Purpose: Construction of exterior black awning displaying the business name, installation of
two window signs, and logo sign on the door.
Applicable Regulations:
Kenilworth Zoning Ordinance §153.242 Certificates of Appropriateness
Summary:
The Petitioner, Melissa Cook, seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness to install a new black
canvas valance on the existing awning with the business name, “LUCKY LANE GIFTS”, in serif
lettering on the front façade facing Green Bay Road and projecting over the sidewalk. Additional
signage includes gold vinyl window signage with the text “MONOGRAMS” and “GIFTS” in sans
serif lettering near the bottom of the business’s storefront windows; on the business’s door, a
window sign displaying the business’s website in matching gold sans serif font is proposed, as
well as a circular business logo. The proposed window signage would be located on the front
façade of the building. This proposal utilizes the existing black awning, replacing the valance to
create a cohesive black awning. A nearby business, M+M Interior Design at 406 Green Bay
Road, has similar existing signage, with a black awning and valance, with white text displaying
the business name on the valance.

Master Sign Plan
Village Code also requires a master sign plan for buildings with multiple occupants. This
proposal reuses an existing awning and replaces the existing white valance with a black one to
create more cohesion with other occupants of this building. Whereas most window signage in
this building utilizes white sans serif text, the US Post Office (another occupant of this building,
at 408 Green Bay Road) utilizes gold text. Any additional exterior signage proposed in the future
will be assessed for compatibility with the proposed signage.

Subject: Certificate of Appropriateness – 400-408 Green Bay Road
Petitioners: Jim Nash of Green Bay Enterprise, LLC c/o Farnsworth-Hill, Inc.
Owner: Jim Nash of Farnsworth-Hill, Inc.
Location: 400-408 Green Bay Road
Zoning: B Business District
Requested Action: Approval of Certificate of Appropriateness
Purpose: Installation of downlighting at various locations along the façade.
Applicable Regulations:
Kenilworth Zoning Ordinance §153.242 Certificates of Appropriateness
Summary:
The Petitioner, Jim Nash of Farnsworth-Hill, Inc, seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness to
install eighteen (18) lights along the front façade of the building facing Green Bay Road and
Park Drive to illuminate the building’s architectural features. This illumination will not
illuminate existing or proposed signage and therefore is subject to the Village’s Business District
Design Guidelines rather than the Village’s Sign Code.
Of the 18 lights proposed for the façade of 400-408 Green Bay Road, six (6) of which will consist
of high wattage down lights located at the building peaks, eleven (11) will consist of high
wattage flood lights for building elevations, and one (1) 600-watt multi-tap transformer with
photocell.
Proposed Lighting Specifications/Description:
Specifications as provided by Jeff Hannah of Accents Lighting: My company has been contracted
by Jim Nash to install low voltage lighting for the building on the corner of Green Bay Dr. and
Considered By: Date:
Architectural Review
Commission

Village of
21
Park Dr. This lighting is intended to light the façade of the building from the top down with a
warm, low voltage light.
We will be using two different fixtures for this installation. The flood down lights will be a 7-
watt 3000 kelvin brass flood light. The spot down lights (for the higher peaks) will be a 12 to 18-
watt 3000 kelvin brass spot light.
The lighting will be hooded and will not bleed onto neighboring properties or streets. It is meant
to provide a sense of safety and increase the aesthetics of the building at night.
Lighting Inspiration Imagery:
Inspiration imagery, provided by applicant.
Kenilworth Business District Design Guidelines
The Village Zoning Code does not specify lighting regulations for building facades when not
illuminating signage. Therefore, signage should be assessed by its concurrence with the design
guidance set forth by Kenilworth Business District Design Guidelines, adopted April 29, 2013.
The applicable guidelines from Section J (Lighting) of the Design Guidelines document are listed
below.
• J (1): Appropriate and judicious lighting of a building’s façade is encouraged to identify
stores and businesses, promote a sense of safety and security, and highlight prominent
buildings and building features in the Business District. Excessive up-lighting shall be
avoided to reduce light pollution.
• J (2): Lighting shall be used to illuminate pedestrian and parking areas.
• J (3): Lighting shall provide a sense of safety without having a negative effect on
neighboring properties and shall be located, aimed, lamped, or shielded to minimize
glare, sky glow, and stray light. Lights should not shine across property lines, especially
along alleys and into residential neighborhoods.
• J (5): Building lighting fixtures should be subtle and understated, and consistent with
the architectural style of the Business District.
22
• J (8): Exterior lighting with an incandescent quality is encouraged, regardless of the
lamp type, to create a warm atmosphere.
Required Action:
Consideration of the required Certificate of Appropriateness approval.
Architectural Review Commission Action:
The Architectural Review Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the
Certificate of Appropriateness.
Example Motions for Consideration:
I move that the Certificate of Appropriateness, as requested by Jim Nash of Farnsworth-Hill,
LLC, to install exterior downlighting as detailed by Accents Lighting be approved.
I move that consideration of the Certificate of Appropriateness, as requested by Jim Nash of

Statement of Intent – 400 Green Bay Rd.
The structure located at 400-408 Green Bay and 501-509 Park is an iconic building. The
building has featured in print, television, film and social media.
The purpose is to upgrade the structure with tuck pointing certain sections of the façade
and enhance with lighting.
The tuck pointing joints will be ground out to a depth of ½” , and then pointed with type N
mortar and finished with tooled joints. The mortar will be matched to existing color and
style.
The lighting is intended to enhance the architectural details and significance of the
structure. This will prominently display the ornamental features of the original
construction.

Good morning, Andrew,
My company has been contracted by Jim Nash to install low voltage lighting for the building on the
corner of Green Bay Dr. and Park Dr. This lighting is intended to light the façade of the building from
the top down with a warm, low voltage light.
We will be using two different fixtures for this installation. The flood down lights will be a 7-watt
3000 kelvin brass flood light. The spot down lights (for the higher peaks) will be a 12 to 18-watt 3000
kelvin brass spot light.
The lighting will be hooded and will not bleed onto neighboring properties or streets. It is meant to
provide a sense of safety and increase the aesthetics of the building at night.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you.
Jeff Hannah
