8 2. At or near the time of execution of this Agreement, the VILLAGE granted an
9 Occupancy Permit, Business License, or Special Use Permit hereinafter collectively
10 referred to as “permit” pursuant to state statutes and local ordinances.

11 3. By the terms of the aforesaid permit, the PROPERTY OWNER is required to install
12 and maintain landscaping in accordance with the plan dated April 2, 2013 or as it
13 may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager, or designee,
14 and the Corporation Counsel.

15 4. The parties to this Agreement recognize that the installation and maintenance of
16 landscaping is an integral part of the PROPERTY OWNER's plan for development
17 and/or use of the property and is necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the
18 VILLAGE's land use objectives, and that the permit would not have been approved
19 by the VILLAGE without the assurance that this Agreement would be executed by
20 the PROPERTY OWNER.

21 5. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:

22 (a) installation of the landscaping in accordance with the landscaping plan

5 maintenance necessary to keep the landscaping in a healthy condition as required
6 by this Agreement, the VILLAGE shall give written notice of the deficiency to the
7 PROPERTY OWNER who shall have 20 days to make the necessary correction or
8 replacement. If such correction or replacement is not made within the aforesaid 20-

1 more commonly described as 4009 Old Orchard Road, Skokie, Illinois (the “Subject
2 Property”), petitioned the Village of Skokie, on behalf of Walgreens, for a special use permit
3 for packaged liquor sales in a B2 Commercial district; and

4 WHEREAS, this case was presented with and heard in conjunction with five companion
5 cases: 2012-49P, 2012-50P, 2012-51P, 2012-52P and 2012-53P; and

6 WHEREAS, the proposed establishment to be located on the Subject Property,
7 Walgreens, is desirous of the authority to sell packaged liquor at retail, as a secondary function
8 of its business and prior to submitting an application to the Skokie Liquor Commission, a
9 special use permit is required, as it will be located in a B2 Commercial district; and

10 WHEREAS, the class M license, which would be appropriate for this location and
11 facility/building size, restricts the sale of packaged liquor to between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.,
12 Monday through Saturday, with sales on Sunday between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m.; and

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2013-5P: Zoning Map Amendment
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, May 6, 2013


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2013-5P: 5150 Touhy Avenue
 Zoning Map Amendment
 Related Cases – 2013-6P: Special Use Permit for Outdoor Dining

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its April 18, 2013 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Abdul R. Panjwani
& Salma Panjwani as co-trustees of the Abdul R. Panjwani Living Trust for a zoning map
amendment at 5150 Touhy Avenue. The petitioner is requesting a zoning map
amendment of the property at 5150 Touhy Avenue from B1 Service Commercial to B2
Commercial. The petitioner is requesting the zoning map amendment because the
proposed outdoor dining area is better suited in the B2 district; there are more permitted
uses in the B2 district and the existing limited service restaurant would become a
permitted use. The Plan Commission concurred with the staff recommendation to change
the zoning.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in the
area of the subject site and all occupants within the subject site as prescribed by the
Zoning Chapter. One interested party spoke regarding this case and questioned why the
rezoning was requested. The resident was informed that the site was better suited for the
B2 zoning due to its location and the adjacent land uses.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map
to change the zoning of the subject site from B1 Service Commercial to B2 Commercial be
GRANTED, based on the proposed positive findings of fact.
The request was approved on a vote of 7 ayes and no nays, with 2 members absent.

 2 of 3
Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2013-5P: Zoning Map Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, May 6, 2013


 1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings The subject site has been used as limited service restaurant since
 1983. The properties to the north and south are developed with
 detached residences. The lot to the east is used for religious
 assembly. The land uses to the west and southwest are retail, hotel,
 restaurant, motor vehicle repair and office.
 2 Consideration The zoning classification of property within the general area of the
 property in question.
 Findings Property located north, east and south are zoned R2 Single-Family.
 Adjacent properties located west and southwest are zoned B1 Service
 Commercial, B2 Commercial and B3 Business.
 3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under
 the existing zoning classification
 Findings The site is better suited to be zoned B2 Commercial than B1 Service
 Commercial. The B1 district was established more for day-to-day
 shopping. The B2 district is designed to service a larger consumer
 population and permits a wider variety of land uses. Under the
 proposed change the existing limited service restaurant will become a
 permitted use.
 4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area on the property
 in question, including changes, if any, which have taken place since
 the day the property in question was placed in its present zoning
 classification.
 Findings The subject site has been zoned B1 Service Commercial since 1983.
 Prior to 1983 the site was zoned R2 Single-Family. The trend in
 development along Touhy Avenue has been from residential and
 industrial to commercial. Since 1984 the Village Crossing Shopping
 Center was constructed, the Holiday Inn hotel remodeled and
 expanded, and an assisted living center was constructed. Properties
 in the area have been rezoned from M1, R2, and B2 to B4, B1, B2,
 and B3. The proposed zoning map amendment will be compatible
 with redevelopment trends along Touhy Avenue.

To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
From: Brian J. Augustine, Zoning Administrator
Re: Zoning Map Amendment of 5150 Touhy Avenue
 Related Cases – 2013-6P: Special Use Permit


General Information
Location 5150 Touhy Avenue
Purpose To amend the zoning of the site from B1 Service Commercial to
 B2 Commercial
Petitioner Abdul R. Panjwani & Salma Panjwani as co-trustees of the Abdul
 R. Panjwani Living Trust
Size of Site Approximately 10,364 square feet (0.24 acres) with
 approximately 96.95 feet of frontage on Touhy Avenue and
 106.90 feet of frontage on Laramie Avenue
Existing Zoning & B1 Service Commercial – Limited service restaurant (Dunkin
Land Use Donuts)
Adjacent Zoning & North R2 Single-Family – Detached residences
Land Use
 South R2 Single-Family – Detached residences
 East R2 Single-Family – Religious assembly
 West B2 Commercial – Retail & motor vehicle repair
 B3 Business – Hotel & full service restaurant
Comprehensive Plan The site is designated retail/service employment.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s submittal
The petitioner is requesting a zoning map amendment for the property at 5150 Touhy
Avenue from B1 Service Commercial to B2 Commercial. The petitioner is requesting the
zoning map amendment because the proposed outdoor dining area is better suited in
the B2 district; there are more permitted uses in the B2 district and the existing limited
service restaurant would become a permitted use.

 Comments
 Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Other
 departments had comments for the related case, but no comments were received
 for the zoning map amendment.

 Community Development Department
 The Community Development Department has reviewed the submitted materials and
 supports the proposed zoning map amendment from B1 Service Commercial to B2
 Commercial. The proposed map amendment is consistent with the trend of
 development along Touhy Avenue.
 The subject site has been zoned B1 Service Commercial since 1983. In 1983,
 Dunkin Donuts requested that the subject site be rezoned from R2 Single-Family to
 B2 Commercial. This zoning map amendment request was denied. The site was
 instead zoned B1 Service Commercial district. Eventually, a Dunkin Donuts was
 constructed by Court Order after their Special Use Permit request was denied by the
 Village.
 The uses surrounding the site vary from, detached residences and religious
 assembly to retail sales, motor vehicle repair, office, full service restaurant and
 hotel. The trend along Touhy Avenue has been away from single-family residential,
 industrial and neighborhood commercial towards commercial uses that serve more
 than the adjacent neighborhood. Since the Dunkin Donuts was constructed, the
 Village Crossing Shopping Center was erected, the Holiday Inn expanded and
 remodeled and an assisted living facility was constructed.
 The rezoning of the subject site from B1 Service Commercial to B2 Commercial will
 allow for more permitted land uses on site. The proposed change will allow for the
 removal of the current limited service restaurant special use permit which currently
 exists on the site. All of the special use permit conditions are standard conditions or
 general code requirements and are not site or use specific. The removal of the
 special use permit for the limited service restaurant will not change code
 enforcement for the site.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change the
zoning of the subject site from B1 Service Commercial to B2 Commercial be GRANTED,
based on the proposed positive findings of fact.

 1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings The subject site has been used as limited service restaurant since

 Commercial, B2 Commercial and B3 Business.
 3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under
 the existing zoning classification
 Findings The site is better suited to be zoned B2 Commercial than B1 Service
 Commercial. The B1 district was established more for day-to-day
 shopping. The B2 district is designed to service a larger consumer
 population and permits a wider variety of land uses. Under the
 proposed change the existing limited service restaurant will become a
 permitted use.
 4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area on the property
 in question, including changes, if any, which have taken place since
 the day the property in question was placed in its present zoning
 classification.
 Findings The subject site has been zoned B1 Service Commercial since 1983.
 Prior to 1983 the site was zoned R2 Single-Family. The trend in
 development along Touhy Avenue has been from residential and
 industrial to commercial. Since 1984 the Village Crossing Shopping

 in the area have been rezoned from M1, R2, and B2 to B4, B1, B2,

request a special use permit to allow outdoor dining at an existing limited service restaurant and
any relief discovered during the review of this case.

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal Notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in the area of
the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.

As both cases pertain to the same site, a request was made to hear both cases simultaneously but
vote on them separately.

Reena Panjwani, Director of Marketing and Development for Panjwani Network Restaurants
presented the cases. She oversees development for her family’s business organization. The
family has been associated with Dunkin Donuts since 1987, purchasing the subject site in 1992.
They would like to change the zoning of the property to B2 so that they can incorporate outdoor
dining for their patrons. Although both the B1 and B2 districts allow outdoor dining by special
use permit, the petitioner stated that the B2 classification is more appropriate for the site. They
have other locations with patios and the operation runs very smoothly. They have plans to
improve the area where the trash enclosure currently is to construct a stamped concrete patio.
Five tables, 20 chairs, 2 trees and landscaping across the side of the building will be installed.
The trash area will be moved to the rear closer to the alley.

A commissioner asked if tables will be located in the front of the building as well. The petitioner
explained that they would be located only on the east side of the building.

After reviewing the photos, another commissioner commented on the poor condition of the
fencing. The petitioner agreed and stated that a new fence will be replacing it.

Some commissioners had trash collection concerns; was there enough room in the alley for
garbage pick-up. Another commissioner reminded the petitioner that the area needs to be
patrolled at opening & closing times as well as every 4 hours to collect debris. The petitioner
confirmed that the alley was wide enough and they perform “travel passes” throughout the day to
handle debris.
429085 Commission meeting minutes 4/18/13
Another commissioner asked if the patio would be available 24 hours; the same as the restaurant.
The petitioner stated that they will limit outdoor hours until midnight and post signs to that effect.
A question was also raised about lighting. Ms. Panjwani indicated that the photometrics is 0 at
the borders of the area.

A commissioner noted that the closest residents are across the alley with garages facing the alley
with the homes about 40 feet beyond that-approximately 100 feet away. He also noted that the
fence to the east is shared with the synagogue. The Community Development director interjected
that the building itself acts as screening for the properties to the north.

The director summarized the staff reports. Dunkin Donuts was built under court order many years
ago. It has been upgraded and remodeled and the patio will be an improvement over the existing
asphalt and concrete. The zoning change is appropriate as the property to the west is already B2,
the property to the northwest is B3 and the property to the east is R2, including the synagogue.
The neighboring residential properties will not be adversely affected.

Mary Wallace, 5151 Touhy Avenue stated that she lives on the only residential block of Touhy;
across the street from the subject site. She wanted clarification why the re- zoning was necessary
and has concerns how this change to commercial affects her property. The chairman offered that
he didn’t envision anything hurting her property’s value. He also reminded everyone that the
Plan Commission is only a recommending body and these cases will be heard before the Village
Board of Trustees at a later date for final approval.

Ann Chrisos lives behind Dunkin Donuts at 5141 Chase Avenue. She was wondering if the
tables would be located in front by the parking lot or off to the side. She spoke of the increased
traffic and parking shortage that Alden created. Outdoor dining until midnight is too much and
will add even more traffic. The neighborhood is becoming too crowded and Touhy traffic is
outrageous. It was pointed out that the outdoor dining is a convenience to patrons of Dunkin
Donuts and that the residential streets to the north are all dead end east of Laramie.

Eileen Lynx of 5151 Touhy is uneasy about the pedestrian crossings at Touhy and Laramie and
Touhy and LeClaire. The timing of the lights does not allow sufficient time to get across the
streets. She mentioned that she was hit at the intersection while crossing and is concerned for
children going for ice cream. The Plan Commission does not have jurisdiction as Touhy Avenue
is a state road.

The Chairman voiced concern with the patio being available until midnight stating that it would
be hard to control and suggested an 11PM cutoff time. The petitioner was not opposed to his
recommendation.

Recommendation and Voting

The Plan Commission concurred with staff recommendations adding an amendment to allow the
hours for the outdoor patio from 6AM to 11PM and made a motion to approve the cases.
The vote was 7 ayes, 0 nays and 2 commissioners absent.

To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2013-6P: 5150 Touhy Avenue
 Special Use Permit for Outdoor Dining
 Related Cases – 2013-5P: Zoning Map Amendment

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its April 18, 2013 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Abdul R.
Panjwani & Salma Panjwani as co-trustees of the Abdul R. Panjwani Living Trust for a
special use permit to modify an existing special use permit to allow outdoor dining at
the Dunkin Donuts restaurant at 5150 Touhy Avenue in a B2 Commercial district. The
dining area will be located to the east of the building and consist of five tables and
twenty chairs. The existing trash enclosure will be relocated closer to the alley to
screen the dining area from the residences to the north. A new stamped concrete patio
will be installed. New trees, landscaping and planters will also be located in and around
the outdoor dining area. The Plan Commission concurred with the staff
recommendation to grant the request as the proposed outdoor dining area is an
improvement over the existing asphalt and concrete.


Commissioners had questions about the hours of operation of the proposed outdoor
dining area and its design. The petitioner explained the proposed dining area location
and plans for improving it. The petitioner also indicated that the hours would be until
12 midnight each day. Commissioners felt that more limited hours of 6 AM to 11 PM
would be more appropriate to protect the residential neighborhood to the north from
noise.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site and all occupants within the subject site as prescribed by
the Zoning Chapter. Several interested parties spoke regarding this case. Residents
questioned the location of the dining area and hours of operation and had concerns
about parking, traffic and noise.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended that the petitioner’s request for a special use
permit to operate an outdoor dining area at the Dunkin Donuts limited service
restaurant at 5150 Touhy Avenue and relief from 118-141(b)(5)a. and 118-212(j)(1) to

provide a 4-foot tall fence rather than the required 6-foot tall screening be
APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the
recommended and standard special use permit conditions.
The Plan Commission further recommended relief from §118-85(e)(1)b. to allow the
hours of operation for the outdoor dining be from 6AM to 11PM rather than 8AM to
10PM.
The Plan Commission also recommends that Village Ordinance number 02-7-Z-3109 and
the previously approved landscape installation and maintenance agreement be
repealed. The request was approved on a vote of 7 ayes and no nays, with 2 members
absent.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s submittal
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit to add outdoor dining. The petitioner
states that the patio will be consistent with other outdoor dining patios in the village. It
will also enhance the character of the site and will be used by customers during warmer
months. The outdoor dining will positively contribute to the general health, safety and
welfare of the area.

Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff
comments on the subject case were received from the Engineering and Forestry
Divisions. All other departments returned the sheets with no comments.

 Engineering Division

 The Engineering Division recommends approval of the proposed outdoor dining
 area. The only comments submitted from Engineering pertained to a catch basin
 and missing R7-I101 sign. A staff member will follow up with the petitioners
 regardless of the outcome of the special use permit request because these are
 general maintenance issues.

 Forestry Division

 The Forestry Division recommends approval of the proposed outdoor dining area
 with the following conditions:

 1. The tree grate size be increased to a minimum of 5’ x 5’.
 2. Increase the number of plant species in the containers by at least one.
 A perennial grass is recommended to be included.

 The Forestry Division also stated that the parkway ash trees are infested with
 Emerald Ash Borer. The Village will remove and replace the trees within the next
 two years at no charge to the owner. If the owner wishes to remove and replace the
 tree with a species of their choosing, they may do so, at their own cost. No permit
 fees will be charged with either option.


 Community Development Department

 The Community Development Department recommends approval of the special use
 permit for the proposed outdoor dining area. The dining area will consist of five
 tables and twenty chairs. The existing trash enclosure will be relocated closer to the
 alley to screen the dining area from the residences to the north. A new stamped

VOSDOCS-#426796-v5-Staff_Report_for_2013-6P_-_Special_Use_Permit__5150_Touhy_Outdoor_Dining


 2 of 7
 concrete patio will be installed. New trees, landscaping and planters will also be
 located in and around the outdoor dining area. The proposed outdoor dining area is
 an improvement over the existing asphalt and concrete.
 The proposed outdoor dining area will provide a nice seasonal amenity for the
 Dunkin Donuts customers and will not be detrimental to surrounding residents or
 tenants. The dining area fits with the recent trend of commercial development
 along Touhy Avenue. The outdoor dining also conforms to the retail/service
 employment Comprehensive Plan designation.
 During the review of the case it was discovered the petitioner would need to request
 relief from the 6-foot tall screening requirement. The petitioner is proposing to
 replace the existing 6-foot tall dilapidated, wood fence along the east lot line, with a
 new 4-foot tall wrought iron fence. Sections 118-141(b)(5)a. and 118-212(j)(1)
 require 6-foot tall solid screening between commercially and residential zoned
 property. The synagogue, east of the subject site, is zoned R2 Single-Family
 district. Staff feels the proposed 4-foot tall wrought iron fence is an upgrade from
 the existing fence. It is attractive and provides more visibility to Touhy Avenue,
 therefore providing a safer area for patrons. The outdoor dining will be screened
 from the residential property to the north. Staff recommends approval for the relief
 for failing to provide 6-foot tall screening.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit to operate an
outdoor dining area at the Dunkin Donuts limited service restaurant at 5150 Touhy
Avenue and relief from 118-141(b)(5)a. and 118-212(j)(1) to provide a 4-foot tall fence
rather than the required 6-foot tall screening be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed
Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended and standard special use
permit conditions. Staff also recommends that Village Ordinance number 02-7-Z-3109
and the previously approved landscape installation and maintenance agreement be
repealed.


RECOMMENDED SPECIAL USE CONDITIONS

Case Description

2013-5P Zoning Map Amendment: 5150 Touhy
Abdul R. Panjwani and Salma Panjwani as co-trustees of the Abdul R. Panjwani Living Trust
request a map amendment to change the zoning district of 5150 Touhy Avenue from B1 Service
Commercial to B2 Commercial.

2013-6P Special Use Permit: 5150 Touhy
Abdul R. Panjwani and Salma Panjwani as co-trustees of the Abdul R. Panjwani Living Trust,
request a special use permit to allow outdoor dining at an existing limited service restaurant and
any relief discovered during the review of this case.

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal Notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in the area of
the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.

As both cases pertain to the same site, a request was made to hear both cases simultaneously but
vote on them separately.

Reena Panjwani, Director of Marketing and Development for Panjwani Network Restaurants
presented the cases. She oversees development for her family’s business organization. The
family has been associated with Dunkin Donuts since 1987, purchasing the subject site in 1992.
They would like to change the zoning of the property to B2 so that they can incorporate outdoor
dining for their patrons. Although both the B1 and B2 districts allow outdoor dining by special
use permit, the petitioner stated that the B2 classification is more appropriate for the site. They
have other locations with patios and the operation runs very smoothly. They have plans to
improve the area where the trash enclosure currently is to construct a stamped concrete patio.
Five tables, 20 chairs, 2 trees and landscaping across the side of the building will be installed.
The trash area will be moved to the rear closer to the alley.

A commissioner asked if tables will be located in the front of the building as well. The petitioner
explained that they would be located only on the east side of the building.

After reviewing the photos, another commissioner commented on the poor condition of the
fencing. The petitioner agreed and stated that a new fence will be replacing it.

Some commissioners had trash collection concerns; was there enough room in the alley for
garbage pick-up. Another commissioner reminded the petitioner that the area needs to be
patrolled at opening & closing times as well as every 4 hours to collect debris. The petitioner
confirmed that the alley was wide enough and they perform “travel passes” throughout the day to
handle debris.

Another commissioner asked if the patio would be available 24 hours; the same as the restaurant.
The petitioner stated that they will limit outdoor hours until midnight and post signs to that effect.
A question was also raised about lighting. Ms. Panjwani indicated that the photometrics is 0 at
the borders of the area.

A commissioner noted that the closest residents are across the alley with garages facing the alley
with the homes about 40 feet beyond that-approximately 100 feet away. He also noted that the
fence to the east is shared with the synagogue. The Community Development director interjected
that the building itself acts as screening for the properties to the north.

The director summarized the staff reports. Dunkin Donuts was built under court order many years
ago. It has been upgraded and remodeled and the patio will be an improvement over the existing
asphalt and concrete. The zoning change is appropriate as the property to the west is already B2,
the property to the northwest is B3 and the property to the east is R2, including the synagogue.
The neighboring residential properties will not be adversely affected.

Mary Wallace, 5151 Touhy Avenue stated that she lives on the only residential block of Touhy;
across the street from the subject site. She wanted clarification why the re- zoning was necessary
and has concerns how this change to commercial affects her property. The chairman offered that
he didn’t envision anything hurting her property’s value. He also reminded everyone that the
Plan Commission is only a recommending body and these cases will be heard before the Village
Board of Trustees at a later date for final approval.

Ann Chrisos lives behind Dunkin Donuts at 5141 Chase Avenue. She was wondering if the
tables would be located in front by the parking lot or off to the side. She spoke of the increased
traffic and parking shortage that Alden created. Outdoor dining until midnight is too much and
will add even more traffic. The neighborhood is becoming too crowded and Touhy traffic is
outrageous. It was pointed out that the outdoor dining is a convenience to patrons of Dunkin
Donuts and that the residential streets to the north are all dead end east of Laramie.

Eileen Lynx of 5151 Touhy is uneasy about the pedestrian crossings at Touhy and Laramie and
Touhy and LeClaire. The timing of the lights does not allow sufficient time to get across the
streets. She mentioned that she was hit at the intersection while crossing and is concerned for
children going for ice cream. The Plan Commission does not have jurisdiction as Touhy Avenue
is a state road.

The Chairman voiced concern with the patio being available until midnight stating that it would
be hard to control and suggested an 11PM cutoff time. The petitioner was not opposed to his
recommendation.

Recommendation and Voting

The Plan Commission concurred with staff recommendations adding an amendment to allow the
hours for the outdoor patio from 6AM to 11PM and made a motion to approve the cases.
The vote was 7 ayes, 0 nays and 2 commissioners absent.
