Winnetka Landmark Ordinance Could be in Jeopardy
With the seating of three new trustees in the spring, cases where residents attempt to get landmark status for their homes are becoming more difficult to gain approval for, the 'TribLocal' reports.
The Winnetka Village Council is making it inceasingly harder for residents to get a landmark designation for their homes, according to TribLocal.
The reasons why, TribLocal reports, include the ability for homeowners who do receive the designation to apply for a property tax assessment freeze for eight years. Trustees argue the designation comes at a price for other residents whose taxes must make up for the reduction.
