Overview
Overview
The Historic Preservation Commission denied a Certificate of Economic Hardship to Mr. Alan Rossell, applicant and owner of 1014 Pleasant Street, on April 24, 2019, as they found that none of the standards for the Certificate of Economic Hardship were met. The Historic Preservation Ordinance provides the applicant an option to appeal the Historic Preservation Commission's decision to the Village Board. This is a companion to ORD 19-55 for 1018 Pleasant Street.

Village staff recommends affirming the Historic Preservation Commission's denial of the Certificate of Economic Hardship. Demolition of these historic properties would have a negative effect on the historic, aesthetic, and architectural value and significance of the Ridgeland-Oak Park Historic District.
