Recently, our Historic Preservation Commission sent out a letter inviting public input on a requested modification in a condo in the Ridgeland-Oak Park historic area. The condo owner wants to change a 4-panel French door to a 3 panel French door. In sharp contrast, a little over a year ago 1,875 citizens signed a petition regarding the leaf-bagging project. This petition was summarily dismissed at a village board meeting. The Historic Preservation Commission is looking for input while our village board rejects it. Does anyone besides myself see the irony here?
