Current Issue Call to action

There is another new proposal for a large modern glass, out of character building where the Imperial Motors building now stands. **

The entire block from Central to Washington will be basically continuous glass, out of character structure along Green Bay Road. 

This proposal is contrary to every Wilmette Comprehensive Plan and study since 1922.

**NEW proposal is now BROWN tinted glass with RED PANELS. 

Same building. Different color.**

This rendering of One Winnetka is what has been approved in Winnetka to replace the Fell Company building.

There are a number of development examples in the neighboring communities that are designed in the spirit of Wilmette resident 

desires since 1922. 

In addition, Wilmette Zoning Codes has design guidelines for development, and the new proposal does not meet the standards of review.

One Winnetka is a new development that was approved this summer, on an area that is similar to the area of 

Imperial Motors lot. 

Wilmette can do better and 

there are real life examples.
