The application moves to the Village Board for final approval and is tentatively scheduled for the board’s May 23 meeting, according to Director of Development and Planning Services Tom Poupard. Jacobs Companies intends to purchase 10 properties along Shermer Road to redevelop as townhomes. The 5.34 acres of land currently contain a mixture of single-family homes and commercial buildings. Jacobs made a number of changes to the project design since the last review by the Village Board. The unit mix has been modified with a greater proportion of three-level units and fewer four-level units. Single-story projecting bays on the front facades have been replaced with two-story bays. On the D units, the former roof decks on the second level have been converted into interior space with corresponding facade changes. Bracketed cover entry has been added to units A, B and C. Street lights that match the existing downtown streetscape lights have been added along Shermer Road. Pier signs have been added to each entryway to the development.

THE WINNETKA CURRENT Restructured council carries charge of retiring members into new administration The Village celebrated the tenures of President Gene Greable and trustee Bill Krucks st the Winnetka Village Council’s bimonthly meeting on Tuesday, May 2, as the meeting was the last for Greable and Krucks and first for the newly-elected council. The shakeup, following the April 4 election, appoints longtime Winnetka resident Robert Dearborn as a new trustee, re-elects veteran trustees Andrew Cripe and Scott Myers, and elects trustee Christopher Rintz as council president. Trustees Penny Lanphier and Kristin Ziv were not up for re-election and will continue their terms, which expire in 2018. Throughout the meeting, both outgoing and returning council members stressed the importance of serving as a steward to Winnetka. Krucks explained that unbiased public service is the key to overall village prosperity. “After all — this Village Council, my Village Council, past Village Councils — it’s all about the village and the residents, it’s not about us,” Krucks said. “It was my pleasure to serve with ... each and every one of you. We didn’t always share the same views, but on major questions facing the Village, we put the differences aside, we worked together in exploring solutions and we built consensus always keeping the best interest of Winnetka and its residents at the forefront where it should be.” Reporting by Lauren Kiggins, Freelance Reporter.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER Exterior alterations to North Avenue properties recommended The Lake Bluff Architectural Board of Review continued its discussion about various proposed exterior alterations to the properties at 35 E. North Ave. and 41 E. North Ave. at its regular meeting Tuesday, May 2. On April 24, the Lake Bluff Village Board asked the architectural board to specifically review the driveway design material at the 35 E. North Ave. property. Proposed materials for the driveway have included both asphalt and a grasscrete material (a mix of concrete and grass), but both raised concerns. The Architectural Board of Review previously discussed the material at its April 4 meeting, and agreed with property owners Brick House Farms X, LLC, that a grasscrete surface would be difficult in regard to maintenance, appearance, safety and cost. The Village Board reaffirmed these concerns, though it was aware that a neighbor objected to an all-asphalt surface for the driveway. Brick House Farms had its representative Gregg Handrich work with Village staff, as well as the neighbor, to develop a better solution. He proposed the asphalt driveway be bordered with brick. “I know the neighbor is happy with that result, since we talked to them [and] we think in talking with staff that that creates a nice look, a really nice edge,” Handrich said.

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR Board honors departing commissioner Palatnik After four years on the Glencoe Park Board, Seth Palatnik stepped down from his role as commissioner during a special meeting of the board Tuesday, May 2. Glencoe Park District Executive Director Lisa Sheppard recalled that she was impressed with Palatnik’s dedication to the community when she met him during an interview. “I just remember thinking, ‘this guy is in it for the right reasons,’” Sheppard said. “You don’t always get commissioners that are in it for the right reason, that really, their full motivation is making the community better.” Palatnik first became involved with the district as a member of the Beach and Lakefront Advisory Committee and the Watts Advisory Committee. He was elected to the Park Board in 2013, and served as its treasurer from 2013 to 2014, and its vice president from 2014 to 2015. Palatnik was president of the board from 2015 to 2016. Palatnik was presented with a plaque in recognition of his service and will be given an honorary plaque on a bench in the Glencoe park of his choosing. Palatnik told the audience that he had only wanted to serve one term on the board in order to allow other residents to bring their ideas to the table, and he was “grateful for this wonderful opportunity that was provided by the community.” Reporting by Alexandra Greenwald, Freelance Reporter.
