 WHEREAS, according to the Illinois Department on Aging, between four
and five percent of persons in the United States, aged sixty and older, are subject to
some form of mistreatment, or abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse,
as well as financial exploitation and neglect of basic care needs; and

 WHEREAS, Illinois has approximately two million citizens over the age of
sixty, meaning that as many as 90,000 Illinois seniors could currently be suffering
from some form of abuse; and

 WHEREAS, it is the mission of the Illinois Department on Aging and its
network of service providers, to increase public awareness of this plight against our
most vulnerable elderly; and to promote increased reporting of elder abuse; and

 WHEREAS, it is essential that the citizens of Illinois recognize the signs of
abuse, neglect and exploitation and report suspicions of abuse; and

 WHEREAS, it is imperative that each community in Illinois refuses to
tolerate this offense against our older citizens, by creating greater awareness of the
prevalence and severity of elder abuse in hopes of eradicating it from society.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE VAN DUSEN, Mayor of the Village
of Skokie, do hereby proclaim the month of July 2013, as


 “ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH”


and encourage all citizens to recognize this crisis and join in working toward its
prevention.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2012-59P: Special Use Permit
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, June 17, 2013


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2012-59P: 9555 Crawford Avenue
 Special Use Permit to service vehicles over 8,000 pounds gross weight in a B2
 Commercial district.


PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its February 7, 2013 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of the Andrew
Herzog Trust for a special use permit to modify an existing special use permit to allow
the servicing of vehicles over 8,000 pounds in a B2 Commercial district at 9555
Crawford Avenue. Without the special use permit, the current code restricts repairs to
vehicles with a weight less than 8,000 pounds. In the subject case, the petitioner has
operated the automobile service facility since 1985 and has received special use permits
in 1989 and 1995 for the operation of the facility. These special use permits did not
restrict the weight of vehicles that could be repaired. The Zoning Chapter was amended
subsequent to the passage of the special use permits restricting the size of vehicles that
could be serviced in a B2 district. In 2000, the facility started to repair trucks as a
result of a changing business environment and the need to expand into the repair of
limited size commercial vehicles.
The facility services commercial vehicles with a gross weight over 8,000 pounds for
several public school districts, private schools, and residential facilities such as the
Presbyterian and Mather homes in Evanston. On an average day, 2 to 3 vehicles over
8,000 pounds are repaired and during peak periods when schools are on vacation up to
4 vehicles may be repaired per day. All of the vehicle repair work takes place within the
building, primarily in the service bay at the northeast corner of the building. The
petitioner does not intend to change his mode of operation, but, rather bring his current
operation into compliance with Zoning Chapter regulations.
The Plan Commission concurred with the staff recommendation to grant the requested
special use permit amendment. The petitioner has been performing this work for many
years. The site plan, building, and business operation will not be changed as a result of
this request. This approval would be subject to compliance with current standard
conditions, including all vehicle repair work taking place inside the building. Minor
vehicle servicing functions are allowed outdoors in compliance with Zoning Chapter
requirements. Commissioners questioned why the petitioner was requesting the special
use permit when the operation may be grandfathered. The petitioner indicated that he
wanted his station in compliance with current regulations. A Commissioner questioned if
there were any limitations on how large of a vehicle that can be repaired. The petitioner
stated that only vehicles that fit inside his building will be repaired.

Crawford
 1 of 7
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
stated that the site is very intensely used and that the granting of the special use
permit would expand the business. Residents also complained about repaired vehicles
being parked on Crawford and Harding Avenues. The Petitioner indicated that
employees may park on the street, but, he does not park repaired vehicles on the
street. The Petitioner indicated that he will not be changing his business. No work will
be performed on semi-trucks as they are too large and he does not have the equipment
to repair such vehicles.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends that the petitioner’s request to allow the servicing of
vehicles over 8,000 pounds gross weight at 9555 Crawford Avenue 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 recommends
that Special Use Permit ordinance 95-8-Z-2518 be repealed and that all applicable
conditions be incorporated into the new ordinance, including the following previously-
granted relief items from the Zoning Chapter requirements be continued:

 1. Relief from the requirement to eliminate the required 5-foot wide sidewalk along
 Golf Road for a distance of 19 feet west from the east property line of the site
 (Sec.90-36(a));
 2. Relief to allow 6 substandard size off-street parking spaces (Sec. 118-
 212.(a)(1));
 3. Relief to eliminate the required 6-foot-wide landscape strip along Golf Road
 between the 2 Golf Road curb cuts (Sec. 118-212.(g)(i)(1)); and
 4. Relief to provide an 18-foot-wide aisle width the east of the service bays instead
 of the required 25 feet (Sec. 118-212.(a)(1)).

The Plan Commission further recommends that relief be granted to eliminate the
requirement for one bicycle parking space as required by Sec. 118-222.(b)(4).

The request was approved on a vote of 8 ayes and no nays, with 1 member absent.

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-59P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, June 17, 2013


1 Consideration The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will
 not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals,
 or general welfare; and the proposed building or use at the
 particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a
 facility which is in the public interest and will contribute to the
 general welfare of the neighborhood or community.
 Findings The proposed servicing of vehicles with a gross weight greater than
 8,000 pounds will not be detrimental to or endanger the public
 health, safety, morals, or general welfare. Continuing the existing
 automotive repair facility will continue to provide a service that is
 needed by the community.
2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the
 character of the neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood, will not unduly aggravate traffic conditions, and will
 not unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.
 Findings The repair facility has been servicing vehicles over 8,000 pounds
 gross weight since 2000, thus, the continuation of the business will
 not change the character of the neighborhood. The use will not
 unduly burden essential public services such as drainage facilities,
 public utilities, and those services pertaining to public health, safety,
 and welfare in general.
3 Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and
 operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring
 property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.
 Findings The proposed repair of vehicles with a gross weight greater than
 8,000 pounds will not unduly restrict the development and use of
 neighboring properties.

4 Consideration The proposed use will not alter or be contrary to the primary
 purpose of the zoning district of the area in which it is proposed,
 when its effect is considered in conjunction with the cumulative
 effect of the number of various special uses of all types already in
 the adjacent area and in the Village as a whole.
 Findings The existing automotive repair facility and servicing of vehicles over
 8,000 pounds gross weight will not be contrary to the primary
 purpose of the B2 Commercial district. The use is compatible with
 other uses and special uses in the adjacent area operating both
 with and without special use permits at this time.
5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the
 Official Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings The site is designated as retail/service employment in the
 Comprehensive Plan. The existing automobile repair and servicing
 of vehicles with a gross weight greater than 8,000 pounds conforms
 to the general intent of the plan.

 pounds gross weight with a special use permit amendment.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit to allow the repair of vehicles over
8,000 pounds gross weight in a B2 Commercial district. Without the special use permit
repairs are restricted to vehicles with a weight less than 8,000 pounds. In the subject
case, the petitioner has operated the automobile service facility since 1985 and has
received special use permits in 1989 and 1995 for the operation of the facility. These
special use permits did not restrict the weight of vehicles that could be repaired. The
Zoning Chapter was amended subsequent to the passage of the special use permits
restricting the size of vehicles that could be serviced in a B2 district. In 2000, the facility
started to repair trucks as a result of a changing business environment and the need to
expand into the repair of limited size commercial vehicles. The facility services
commercial vehicles with a gross weight over 8,000 pounds for several public school
districts, private schools, and residential facilities such as the Presbyterian and Mather
homes in Evanston. On an average day, 2 to 3 vehicles over 8,000 pounds are repaired
and during peak periods when schools are on vacation up to 4 vehicles may be repaired
per day. All of the vehicle repair work takes place within the building, primarily in the
service bay at the northeast corner of the building. The petitioner does not intend to
change his mode of operation, but, rather bring his current operation into compliance
with Zoning Chapter regulations.

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

Engineering Division
The Engineering Division has no objections to the proposed special use permit request
and recommends approval subject to the contribution of a payment for a parkway tree
to fit under power lines on Golf Road between the site driveways. It was also
recommended that consideration be given to closing the westernmost driveway on Golf
Road to improve the Crawford/Golf intersection operation and safety and potential on-
site parking. The Petitioner indicated that his site would not operate properly with the


#422827 v1- Special Use Permit Request for Vehicles over 8,000 pounds at 9555 Golf Road
closing of the driveway; however, he agreed to a restriction on left hand turns in and out
of the site that would be regulated by signs.

Planning Division
The Planning Division recommends approval of the proposed request to allow the repair
of heavier vehicles. The petitioner has been performing this work for many years
without any adverse impacts. The site plan, building, and business operation will not be
changed as a result of this request. This approval would be subject to compliance with
standard conditions, including all vehicle repair work take place inside the building.
Minor vehicle servicing functions are allowed outdoors in compliance with Zoning
Chapter requirements.
The existing special use permit grants relief for a 2-space parking deficit. Since the
special use permit was granted, the parking requirement for automobile service facilities
has changed. Based on a current parking requirement of 3.5 parking spaces per service
bay, 14 spaces are required and 17 spaces are provided on-site. The parking relief will
be removed from the new ordinance; however, it should be noted that parking spaces
are intensely used on the site.
Staff recommends that relief be granted from the requirement to provide one bicycle
parking space on the site. The site does not have adequate space to provide a safe
bicycle parking space that would comply with the ordinance. The Petitioner indicated
that employees could bring their bicycles indoors and customers could park their bikes at
the front door when picking up a vehicle.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review is not required.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to allow the servicing of vehicles over
8,000 pounds gross weight at 9555 Crawford Avenue be APPROVED, based upon the
Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended and standard special
use permit conditions. Staff further recommends that Special Use Permit ordinance 95-8-
Z-2518 be repealed and that all applicable conditions be incorporated into the new
ordinance, including the following previously-granted relief items from the Zoning
Chapter requirements be continued:

 1. Relief from the requirement to eliminate the required 5-foot wide sidewalk along
 Golf Road for a distance of 19 feet west from the east property line of the site
 (Sec.90-36(a));
 2. Relief to allow 6 substandard size off-street parking spaces (Sec. 118-212.(a)(1));
 3. Relief to eliminate the required 6-foot-wide landscape strip along Golf Road
 between the 2 Golf Road curb cuts (Sec. 118-212.(g)(i)(1)); and

#422827 v1- Special Use Permit Request for Vehicles over 8,000 pounds at 9555 Golf Road
 4. Relief to provide an 18-foot-wide aisle width the east of the service bays instead

Staff further recommends that relief be granted to eliminate the requirement for one
 bicycle parking space as required by Sec. 118-222.(b)(4).

Case Description

2012-59P – Special Use Permit: 9555 Crawford Avenue
Andrew Herzog Trust, dated July 15, 1999, requests a special use permit to allow the
servicing of vehicles over 8,000 pounds gross weight in a B2 Commercial district for
automotive repair facilities with an existing special use permit as allowed by Section 118-
82(d)(2) of the Village Code and any relief that may be 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.

The case was presented by Andrew Herzog, owner of Golf and Crawford Auto Service.
The facility has been in business since 1985. In 2000, he started doing repairs on small
15-passenger shuttle buses for School District 68, Presbyterian Home buses, delivery
trucks, box trucks, panel vans and plumbing vans filled with equipment, tools, and parts.
The Village Code was changed in 2012 allowing this use only in the B3 or industrial
districts. To comply with the ordinance and to protect his business, Mr. Herzog would
like to change his special use.

One commissioner wanted clarification that if the petitioner is already servicing these
types of vehicles why the use is not grandfathered. It was explained that when he started,
the use was allowed by special use permit and there was no weight restriction. Currently,
there is a restriction in B2 that repair facilities only service vehicles less than 8,000
pounds unless a special use amendment is sought. In this case, the existing special use
permit will be repealed and a new one drawn up incorporating all conditions.

Another commissioner asked if there were complaints regarding this use. None were
noted until this current case was advertised.

The Community Development Director stated that nothing is being changed or added.
Repairs, as required, are taking place indoors. However, checking fluids, changing tires
and batteries, changing bulbs or windshield wipers all can be done outdoors on larger
vehicles.

Another commissioner inquired if there is any limitation on how large of a vehicle can be
repaired. The petitioner stated that he is restricted by what will fit inside the service bays.


424016 Plan Commission meeting minutes 2/7/2013 Case 2012-59P
Donna and Marty Long of 9555 Harding stated that they have been living in the
neighborhood since 2008 and love it. She questioned how the petitioner can add more
cars to his small lot when there is an overflow of cars which park in front of their home
now. Mr. Long had witnessed cars being parked in front of his home and on the street.
He has gone to the station to ask for their removal. He also reported a parked car in for
service with a leaking oil pan He also indicated that he has a hard time removing snow
because vehicles are always in the way.

The Plan Commission chairman informed them of alternate side parking on days when
snowfall is over 2 inches and suggested calling the police when snow removal cannot be
accomplished. They responded that they have contacted the police but they have never
seen cars ticketed.

It was noted that there is a busy State Farm insurance office and a rehab business across
the street that uses Harding for parking also.

Another commissioner confirmed that this request is not an expansion of business but just
a continuation of current practices.

Another commissioner commented that vehicles being repaired should be kept on site.

Lawrence April, 9545 Harding, stated that even though the petitioner is not expanding his
space, the Plan Commission is giving him permission to take in more vehicles and
therefore, expand his business. He will be able to repair big rigs as long as they fit in his
bays. This type of use belongs on Oakton Street in the industrial district where another
truck repair facility is located. Mr. April also spoke about how the Village allows cars to
park on Crawford Avenue which, at rush hour, only makes the traffic on Crawford even
more congested; to avoid the bottleneck at the intersection with Golf Road, cars now
funnel down Harding Avenue. It was explained to Mr. April that Cook County has
jurisdiction over Crawford and won’t transfer ownership to Skokie. When the Village
tried to remove the parking, residents were not in favor of it.

The Community Development Director stated that if the service bays need to be
expanded, the petitioner must go through the complete hearing process.

Beth Brewer, 9531 Crawford, submitted a petition of opposition signed by neighboring
residents to be entered into the record. She also spoke of the sleepy little Texaco station
that was on the corner of Crawford and Golf. Now there is a very successful business at
the end of a residential street. The lot is full and getting busier and busier. The trucks,
the bright lights lighting up his business and the flagpole that is illuminated at night
makes the sight intrusive to neighbors. It creates light and noise and a bigger footprint.
She spoke of her discussions with the Community Development Director regarding the
repair facility.

The Plan Commission chairman stated that anybody can have a flagpole on their property
and according to federal law, it must be illuminated at night if flown 24/7. However, it
doesn’t have to be that bright to impact the neighborhood negatively.

424016 Plan Commission meeting minutes 2/7/2013 Case 2012-59P
Glenn Blicharz, 9519 Crawford, read letters of opposition from Nick and Katie Gillies
and from Beth and Scott Brewer. They were submitted into the record. From his
observations, there are a lot of items of relief mentioned in the report such as eliminating
landscaping and the 5-foot sidewalk. He is OK with the station but, it seems to him, that
the Village is trying to “put a round peg in a square hole” by making special rules to keep
the business there.

Stephanie Kimmel, 9515 Crawford, has been in her home since 2005. Property values
have gone down and taxes have gone up. She did not know that large trucks would be
parked there. According to her, there is a lot of traffic on Crawford, the landscaping is
terrible and the petitioner is not a good neighbor. He has a right to grow his business but
she concluded that this is not the right business for a small lot on a residential corner.

A commissioner reminded all that the Plan Commission is a recommending body only
and the Board of Trustees has the final say.

The Community Development director addressed the group. The site plan and business
operation will not be changed as a result of this request. Almost no additional relief will
granted from the current ordinances of 1989 and 1995. The only item of relief to be
considered is the provision of 1 bicycle parking space as there is no safe space to comply
with the ordinance. The petitioner agreed to allow bicycles to be brought inside. He also
stated that he misspoke and gave the Brewers’ incorrect information on the phone. Mr.
Herzog did have the right to repair larger vehicles all along and no tickets were ever
issued for doing so. The only violations were for striping the lot and fencing the
dumpster. He also stated that it is illegal for the facility to park a repaired car on a
residential street and encourages calls to the Police or Community Development
Departments to have the vehicles moved.

Andrew Herzog indicated that he has been at this location for 28 years. He will not be
doing anything different now. As stated before, the vehicles he works on are panel
trucks, vans and small school buses. Vehicles in for repair typically stay 1-2 days at the
most because of space constraints. He indicated that his employees sometime park on
Harding but never has he parked a repaired vehicle on Harding or Crawford Avenues. He
admitted that he parks his own vehicle on the public streets. He did get permission from
Mrs. Tatosian of 9556 Harding, to park in front of her home as she spends the winter in
Florida. He also informed the group that he has never been in violation of his special
use requirements or paid a fine regarding it. He assured the audience that he will not ever
work on semi-trucks. They are too big, too heavy and he does not have the tools needed.
He mentioned that the State Farm office always parks on Harding. Mr. Herzog did
consent to an Engineering Department recommendation for a no left hand turn sign
exiting going west on Golf Road out of the site. A left turn sign on Golf Road going west
entering the station would be confusing to his patrons. As far as a parkway island tree, it
would have to be located close to the street and of course, be tolerant of being sprayed
with salt.
