While Preserving Character
There is a new proposal for another large modern glass building where the Imperial Motors building now stands. **
The entire block from Central to Washington will be basically continuous glass 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 railings. Same building. Different color.**
It is very important to send in your letter of opposition at this time.

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.
