Winnetka Design Review Board/Sign Board of Appeals met Thursday, March 16.

The DRB consists of seven Winnetka residents appointed by the Village President with the advice and consent of the Village Trustees, with one member designated to serve as chairperson. Members of the Design Review Board serve for terms of five years, which are staggered to assure the Board’s continuity. The Design Review Board also serves as the Sign Board of Appeals. Although residency is the only defined qualification for serving on the DRB, members of the DRB are generally appointed on the basis of expertise and/or involvement in the fields of architecture, landscape design, real estate and commerce.
