ITEM SUMMARY:
Phil Richardson of Aspen Venture Group, contract purchaser of 134-136 Main Street in the Turner
Junction Historic District, is requesting approval to perform a complete exterior renovation of the exist-
ing 2-story mixed use commercial building. The applicant proposes to completely remove the existing
façade of the building and replace with new masonry, windows, and doors. The applicant is also pro-
posing to add an additional story to the building. The Commission reviewed the proposal to demolish
the existing building in January of this year and was supportive of its removal with the potential to pre-
serve the limestone on the rear of the building as much as possible. At the February meeting, the ap-
plicant stated that reusing the existing limestone wall may not be feasible given its current condition
but would be able to salvage other parts of the building.

The applicant has supplied renderings of the proposed building showing the view from Main Street as
well as from Turner Court. Preliminary building elevations and a scope of work have also been pro-
vided. The applicant will be present at the Historical Preservation Commission meeting to discuss the
proposal.

The building is an International Style commercial structure. According to the property survey for the
Turner Junction Historic District, the 134 Main Street portion was constructed in 1952 with the 136
Main Street portion constructed in the 1860s. 134 Main Street was the site of the former Morning Star
Saloon, which was torn down prior to 1949. The survey from 1990 identifies this building as non-
contributing and not a candidate for local landmark status.

ACTION PROPOSED:

Consideration of an exterior renovation and vertical addition at 134-136 Main Street.

Proposal
for the
Development of Mixed-Use Building
134-136 Main Street
West Chicago, Illinois
Introduction
Aspen Venture Group, Inc. and AUS Construction, Ltd are pleased present our proposal for the
development of a Mixed-Use Building in downtown West Chicago, Illinois. Aspen Venture
Group, Inc. and AUS Construction, Ltd have a long history of successful development projects
throughout the country, In addition, our design partner, Ideal Designs, is an award-winning
architectural firm.
The Development Team together possesses the critical elements required to bring this
proposed project to a successful conclusion, including financial strength, the proven ability to
execute and an uncompromising dedication to quality design and construction.
Description of Project/Proposed Uses
The proposed project consists of utilizing the 65’ x 60’ site located at 134-136 Main Street that
currently has a three story commercial building. The site fronts both Main Street on the north
side and Turner Court on the south side. The City of West Chicago owns the buildings
immediately to the east and west of the site.
The proposed plan includes the utilizing the existing structure and adding one addition floor to
the building (three stories above Main Street and four stories above Turner Court), which would
accommodate approximately 6,200 square feet of commercial space on the first two levels, and
a total of eight one-bedroom apartments on the third and fourth floors. The entire facade of
the building would be replaced with new masonry, windows and doors.
In addition to a total of eight apartments on the top two floors of the building, it is anticipated a
full service restaurant will be located on the entire floor on the Main Street level. Offices and
service businesses will be located on the Turner Court level of the building.

will take approximately eight months. It is the Development Team’s intention to design, build
and maintain ownership of the project.
Conclusion
The Development Team would welcome the opportunity for a more detailed discussion of our
ideas, concepts and commitment.
