 AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE INSTALLATION AND
 ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRAFFIC CONTROL STOP AND YIELD SIGNS
 AT FOUR UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS ALONG JARVIS AVENUE
 BETWEEN LINCOLN AVENUE AND CRAWFORD AVENUE, AND THE
 ESTABLISHMENT OF A FOUR-WAY STOP INTERSECTION AT
 GREENWOOD STREET AND KARLOV AVENUE, SKOKIE, ILLINOIS
1 WHEREAS, from time to time the Village of Skokie Engineering staff are directed to review
2 inspections relating to traffic control within the Village of Skokie (hereinafter “Skokie”) for public
3 safety issues that may arise. This was the case with Jarvis Avenue between Lincoln Avenue and
4 Crawford Avenue. This stretch of roadway is the shared border between the Village of
5 Lincolnwood (hereinafter “Lincolnwood”) and Skokie; and

6 WHEREAS, while some of the intersections along Jarvis Avenue have been upgraded
7 over the years, there are a few that remain uncontrolled intersections. Subsequent to a traffic
8 study and review and the information gained from monitoring the uncontrolled intersections, it
9 has been determined that the remaining uncontrolled intersections along Jarvis Avenue be
10 upgraded to Yield or Stop sign control; and

11 WHEREAS, Lincolnwood staff have reviewed the study and corresponding information
12 and concur with Skokie regarding the proposed signage for the studied intersections. The
13 assignment of right of way would benefit the motorists at these intersections. The use of Yield
14 sign controls, when appropriate, is desirable because it reduces motorist delay and due to
15 reduced fuel cost and other vehicle operating costs, it is more cost effective; and

16 WHEREAS, it is anticipated that Lincolnwood will be approving the proposed controls as
17 well. Below is a table that shows the list of the intersections studied and the recommended
18 intersection control based on previous established guidelines for the placement of signs; and

 Recommended
 S. No Intersection Name Approach of Control
 Intersection Control
 1 Jarvis Avenue & Kolmar Avenue Yield Sign Northbound, Southbound
 2 Jarvis Avenue & Kenneth Avenue Yield Sign Eastbound, Westbound
 3 Jarvis Avenue & Keeler Avenue Stop Sign Northbound, Southbound
 4 Jarvis Avenue & Karlov Avenue Yield Sign Eastbound, Westbound
19

20 WHEREAS, another intersection that was studied was the intersection of Greenwood
21 Street and Karlov Avenue. Greenwood Street has a significant concentration of movement of
22 traffic, as it is among a limited number of continuous east-west streets in the Village. Currently,
23 there is an existing north-south stop control at Karlov Avenue. While this intersection has a

1 positive crash history, there remains accident potential thus it was determined that an upgrade
2 to a multi-way stop control would improve the traffic operational characteristics of this
3 intersection; and

4 WHEREAS, the Village Manager and the Director of Engineering for the Village of Skokie
5 recommended to the Mayor and Board of Trustees that the four (4) uncontrolled intersections
6 along the stretch of Jarvis Avenue between Crawford and Lincoln Avenue become controlled
7 intersections with either Yield signs or a Stop sign installed and established, as indicated on the
8 diagram attached hereto marked Exhibit "A" and hereby made a part of this Ordinance; and

9 WHEREAS, further the Village Manager and the Director of Engineering for the Village of
10 Skokie recommended to the Mayor and Board of Trustees that an upgrade to a multi-way stop
11 sign control at the intersection of Greenwood Street and Karlov Avenue be installed and
12 established, as indicated on the diagram attached hereto marked Exhibit "B" and hereby made a
13 part of this Ordinance; and

14 WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees, at a public meeting duly held on October
15 18, 2021, concurred in the aforesaid recommendations;

16 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the
17 Village of Skokie, Cook County, Illinois:

18 Section 1: That pursuant to the provisions Chapter 106, Article II, Division 1, Section
19 106-47 of the Skokie Village Code and the Illinois Vehicle Code, stop signs shall be installed in
20 accordance with the diagrams attached hereto and marked Exhibit "A" and Exhibit “B” and hereby
21 made a part of this Ordinance.

22 Section 2: That the Village Manager is hereby directed and authorized to erect the
23 necessary signs in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

24 Section 3: That this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its
25 passage, approval and publication in pamphlet form as provided by law.

 Draft Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
 Date: October 7, 2021

A motion was made by Commissioner Burman and seconded by Commissioner Franklin to
approve the minutes of the August 19, 2021 Plan Commission meeting.

Case Description:


2021-23P – Subdivision: 9801-9911 Woods Drive
North Shore Hospitality Partners, LLC, is requesting a 5-lot subdivision of 9801-9911
Woods Drive and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.
PIN: 10-09-304-044-0000


Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to all property owners within the area as
prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and
correct.
Mark Rogers, attorney from Liston & Tsantillis, P.C. and Chris Patel of NextGen Hotels presented
the case. They are proposing to subdivide a single parcel into 5 separate lots. Currently the
taxes are all under single ownership and the subdivision would allow for ownership of individual
commercial multi-tenant buildings. There is an easement for access and shared surface parking.
There were no questions for the applicants from the commissioners.
Staff requested that the report be entered into the record as written. The existing zoning for
the area is OR. The request is supported by staff and meets the minimum code requirements
for a subdivision. It is a reorganization of the land.

A commissioner asked staff for an overview of the area. Existing uses are: Everest College, a
daycare center, a vacant building and a surface parking lot. South of the site is the Optima
development and Holocaust Museum; north of the site is the NorthShore HealthSystem medical
offices.

The audience was made up of Optima residents who voiced their objections to the Carvana
proposal. The chairman made an announcement stating that the only queries that could be
addressed were regarding the subdivision. Some of their concerns included lack of meeting
notice, current property boundaries and ownership, future redevelopment plans for the
property, a possible zoning change, traffic & environmental changes, and lack of transparency
and fairness to Skokie residents.

The chairman advised all that at the next Plan Commission meeting on October 21st, a site plan
approval request for a Carvana dealership will be discussed and they would have a better
opportunity to have their questions answered.
