 DRAFT – NOT APPROVED



 The petitioner stated that he is willing to add additional windows on the north elevation,
 but noted that the area where windows are recommended is a closet, and his preference is
 to avoid adding windows there due to security concerns.

 Commissioner Maschek commented that the larger issue is that the side elevations consist
 largely of the same material in a darker color, and that additional windows would help
 break up those elevations. The petitioner suggested adding more windows.

 Chairman Lynk asked the petitioner about the proposed color of the home. The petitioner
 confirmed that it will be navy blue.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented with the
 addition of two windows on the north elevation and that provisions be made that the front

 DRAFT – NOT APPROVED


 Chairman Lynk asked the petitioner to explain the changes being proposed for the
 project. The petitioner explained that some of the changes include the “shifting” of
 residential balconies and the inclusion of some architectural features that heighten the
 character of the building to give it a more “residential feel”

 Commissioner Maschek asked if the amenity deck on the garage is remaining the same.
 The petitioner explained that they are currently unsure, the focus of the proposed changes
 is on the north building. The petitioner stated that if any changes are anticipated for the
 amenity deck, they would return to the Appearance Commission for the modified review
 process.

 Commissioner Maschek also inquired about the existing landscape and asked the
 petitioner if they will continue to maintain the existing landscape. The petitioner
 confirmed they would keep the landscaping as it is in their best interest to maintain the
 landscaping for the residents of the building.

 2024-049A – 7852 Lincoln Avenue (New Mixed-Use)
 Applicant: Yung-Wu Chen
 Owner: DDMBA Chicago Chapter
 Request: Mixed-Use building

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.


 The project architect explained the changes made to the building design based on the
 discussion at the previous Appearance Commission meeting, where Commissioners
 suggested revisions to the building façade, materials, and surrounding landscaping.

 The architect also addressed neighbors’ concerns about the potential shadow the
 proposed building might cast on neighboring properties and its effect on sunlight. He
 presented a diagram illustrating the shadows the building would cast at various times
 throughout the year and showed that the impact on the sunlight received by neighboring
 properties would be minimal.


627216
 DRAFT – NOT APPROVED



 Chairman Lynk opened the discussion for public comment, and the following residents
 shared their thoughts on the proposal:

 Paul Lucas, a neighbor, stated that he does not feel enough changes were made to the
 building elevations to fit the character of the neighborhood. He also shared concerns
 about the proposed uses, points of ingress and egress, and their potential impact on the
 surrounding area.

 Another Babb Avenue neighbor expressed that the proposed building lacks curb appeal or
 aesthetically pleasing elements. The neighbor cited examples of adjacent buildings on
 Lincoln Avenue with more inviting business fronts and argued that the proposed building
 does not fit the character of the surrounding neighborhood.

 Lydia Kim, a neighbor on Babb Avenue, stated that the proposed building does not fit the
 neighborhood and has a commercial, institutional feel. She requested additional changes,
 including a smaller building footprint and added buffers between the building and the
 properties to the south.

 James Kim, who lives in a neighboring residential property, asked about the glass
 material planned for the second- and third-floor windows, citing privacy concerns. He
 also questioned the accuracy of the petitioner’s submitted sunlight study.

 Following public comment, Commissioner Maschek asked the petitioner about the
 setback of the dormitories from the alley. He argued that locating the dormitories along
 Lincoln Avenue, rather than the alley, is actually beneficial for neighboring residents, as
 there is approximately 80 feet between the dormitories and the neighboring properties—
 including the parking spaces and alley—which provides a buffer.

 Commissioner Maschek noted that there are many buildings along Lincoln Avenue that
 are not particularly aesthetically pleasing. Given the context of the surrounding area, he
 stated that he does not believe the proposed building is entirely out of character with what
 is seen nearby.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented with the
 stipulation that the proposed sign included in the renderings would be approved by staff.
 The vote was unanimous.

MEMORANDUM
Community Development Department

To: Michael Lynk, Appearance Commission Chair
 Appearance Commission Members

From: Brian J Augustine, Zoning Administrator/Permit Supervisor
 Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator

Date: July 9, 2025

SUBJECT: APPEARANCE COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

Staff offers the following comments on the cases scheduled for the July 9, 2025, Appearance
Commission meeting:

NEW BUSINESS:

RESIDENTIAL REQUESTS

2025-025A 7656 Crawford Ave – The applicant is proposing to construct a 2nd floor addition.
 The applicant received a variation from the Zoning Board of Appeals to continue the
 existing 8-foot side yard abutting a street. Due to the size of the addition a fire
 sprinkler will be required throughout the entire building.
 Staff is supportive of the applicant’s request, but a couple points need to be clarified.
 The applicant will need to clarify the material used between the 1st and 2nd floors and
 the color of the second-floor siding. The siding is noted as white, but the renderings
 shows it as a beige. The limestone around the front entrance will give the north
 elevation some character.


2025-026A 5231 Church St – The applicant is proposing to construct a new covered entry porch
 in the front yard. The porch appears to meet all setback and zoning requirements.
 Staff is supportive of the applicant’s request. The proposed porch is centered nicely
 around the front door and the materials match the existing home.

2025-027A 8240 Crawford Ave – The applicant is proposing to construct a 1st and 2nd floor
 addition. The first-floor addition will be constructed in the rear yard and the second-
 floor addition will be built over the front portion of the house. The detached garage
 changes are not subject to Appearance Commission review.

 Staff has the following comments regarding the applicant’s request:
 1. The applicant will need to verify that Section 22-63 (53) of the Skokie Village
 Code – a minimum of 51% of the exterior walls must be masonry, is met.
 2. The height of the building will need to meet zoning regulations.
 3. The front entry will need to meet setback requirements.


Doc 627547 – July 9, 2025 Appearance Staff Report
 1
 4. Due to the size of the addition, a fire sprinkler will most likely be required
 throughout the entire residence. A completed zoning information worksheet will
 confirm this.
 5. Consider adding a small window or architectural element over the front door on
 the second floor.

2025-028A 9513 Laramie Ave – The applicant is proposing to construct an attached garage and
 second floor addition. The second-floor addition will be constructed over the front
 half of the existing home. The attached garage will be located in the south side yard.
 A fire sprinkler may be required throughout the entire due to the size of the addition.

 Staff overall is supportive of the request. The applicant will need to verify that
 Section 22-63 (53) of the Skokie Village Code – a minimum of 51% of the exterior
 walls must be masonry, is met. If the masonry requirement is not met, staff is
 supportive of a waiver as the percent of walls that are masonry is somewhat close to
 51%.


2025-029A 9601 Lowell Ave – The applicant is proposing to construct a one-story addition in the
 rear yard. The applicant started construction without a permit and a stop work order
 has been issued for the site.

 Staff has the following comments regarding the applicant’s request:
 1. The applicant will need to clarify if the siding on the addition will match the
 existing siding.
 2. The roof plan and east elevation appear to conflict each other. The elevation
 shows the addition off center to the left, the roof plan appears to show the addition
 somewhat centered along the rear lot line. The applicant will need to clarify the
 exact location. Staff prefers the addition be centered along the rear wall.

 2025-025A – 7656 Crawford Avenue (Residential)
 Applicant: Nathan Kriska
 Owner: Maria & Daniel Toma
 Request: 2nd floor addition

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.

 The applicant, Nathan Kriska, explained that the front façade will feature limestone
 material around the front door, and the second floor will be clad entirely in cementitious
 siding.

 Commissioner Maschek addressed some of the staff comments from the attached report
 and inquired about the material being used for the horizontal band and the color of the


627979
 window frames. The applicant, Nathan Kriska, responded that the horizontal band on the
 front façade will also be a cementitious siding and that the window frames will be black.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented. The vote was
 unanimous with one absence.

 2025-026A – 5231 Church Street (Residential)
 Applicant & Owner: Fredrik & Maria Thomas
 Request: Front Covered Porch

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.
 Commissioner Maschek noted that the petitioner did not need to seek a variance from the
 Zoning Board of Appeals for setback adjustments, as the proposal includes a five-foot
 porch rather than a three-foot porch. Commissioner Maschek inquired with the presiding
 officer, Brian Augustine, whether the absence of ZBA review was due to the proposed
 setback being consistent with other homes on Church Street. Brian Augustine confirmed
 this to be accurate and noted that the petitioner submitted a breakdown of the other
 setbacks in the neighborhood, and that the submittal appeared to be in line with all
 applicable setback and zoning requirements.

 Interim Chair DaMario asked for clarification on whether the applicant was proposing to
 build a projection from the home. The applicant, Mr. Thomas, explained that they do not
 propose to build out any further, but rather to construct a covered porch over the existing
 concrete stoop located on the front elevation.

 Interim Chair DaMario also inquired with the applicant about the roof material and color
 of the proposed addition. Mr. Thomas clarified that the roof of the covered porch will be
 metal and that the color will match the trim of the house.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness as presented. The vote was
 unanimous with one absence.

627979
 2025-027A – 8240 Crawford Avenue (Residential)
 Applicant & Owner: Abdul Rashid Khan, Associates in Development, USA LLC
 Request: 1st & 2nd floor addition

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.

 A representative for the applicant and owner, who was out of town, addressed the staff
 comments regarding the 51% masonry requirement and the building height requirement,
 and noted that all zoning code requirements are met.

 Regarding the staff comment suggesting the addition of a small window or architectural
 element above the front door on the second floor, the project representative noted that he
 had spoken with the owner about staff’s suggestions and that they are amenable to
 making that change to the proposal. The project architect and representative informed the
 Commission that they have prepared a revised proposal incorporating the suggested
 changes but have not yet received confirmation from the owner regarding those revisions.

 Interim Chair DaMario asked what room is located on the second floor in the area where
 the changes were suggested. It was confirmed that the room is a bathroom, and the
 Commission discussed what type of architectural elements might be appropriate given the
 layout of the home.

 Commissioner Maschek asked for clarification on the exact material and color of the
 proposed siding. The project representative clarified that all of the siding will be replaced
 with beige-colored vinyl siding.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness with clarification that it will
 be a vinyl shake siding on the upper floor and the architectural element to be determined
 above the front door on the front elevation. The vote was unanimous with one absence.

 Motion: Julie Naumiak Second: Maryjane Klein

 2025-028A – 9513 Laramie Avenue (Residential)
 Applicant & Owner: Harjeet Singh
 Request: 1st & 2nd floor addition



627979
 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.

 Interim Chair DaMario asked the applicant if they had made any calculations regarding
 the 51% masonry requirement. The applicant confirmed that they had, and that the
 proposal is compliant with that code requirement.

 Commissioner Maschek noted that the proposed exterior elevation on the east side shows
 no windows, and asked the applicant if they plan to retain the existing bedroom windows.
 The applicant confirmed that those windows will remain, and Commissioner Maschek
 agreed that retaining them would be preferable to having a fully sided elevation.

 Commissioner Maschek also suggested that the applicant incorporate some landscaping
 along the south elevation, as it is visible from Laramie Avenue due to the angled street
 layout.

 Recommendation & Voting
 A motion was made to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness with the condition that the
 east elevation’s existing windows will not be removed. The vote was unanimous with one
 absence.

 Motion: Jay Pathak Second: Julie Naumiak
 Ayes: 6
 Nays: 0
 Absent: 1



 2025-029A – 9601 Lowell Avenue (Residential)
 Applicant & Owner: Siyadat Ali Safi Syed
 Request: 1st floor addition

 Discussion & Interested Parties
 Staff comments were read into the record.
 Prior to discussing the case, Interim Chair DaMario explained that it is frowned upon to
 perform work without a permit in the Village. He emphasized the importance of
 understanding the Village’s code and building requirements.

 Presiding Officer Brian Augustine added that any structure started without a permit may
 be required to be removed, and proceeded to walk the Commission through the submitted
 materials.

 Commissioner Maschek noted inconsistencies between the submitted plans and what has
 already been built without a permit. He stated that there is not enough information to
 fully understand the proposal, and reiterated that the purpose of the Appearance


627979
 Commission is to identify such discrepancies in order to maintain visual consistency
 within the Village and regulate inconsistencies like those presented in this project.

 Commissioner Maschek asked the applicant if the addition is built on a foundation. Brian
 Augustine added that if there is no foundation, one would need to be added in accordance
 with the building code.

 Following additional discussion regarding the submitted site plan, the Commission
 agreed that more detailed information is required on the drawings before any opinion can
 be rendered. Interim Chair DaMario also noted that certain elements of the drawings do
 not comply with code and must be addressed. The orientation of the addition relative to
 the existing structure is unclear, with inconsistencies noted between the submitted plans.

 Commissioner Maschek pointed out that the elevations show siding coming up to the
 edge, while existing photos show corner beads and framed-out windows—details that are
 missing from the submitted drawings. Brian Augustine noted that elevation drawings
 should ideally show the current conditions of the home and how the proposed addition
 will integrate with those existing conditions.

 Brian Augustine clarified that the next Appearance Commission meeting is scheduled for
 August 13th, with a deadline to submit revised materials by July 30th, should the
 applicant wish to return for that meeting.

 Commissioner Maschek encouraged the applicant to have their architect communicate
 directly with staff to avoid further confusion regarding the applicable code and building
 requirements for this project.

 Recommendation & Voting

 No vote was taken, the Commission continued this case for the following Appearance
 Commission meeting due to the lack of accurate information on submitted plans.



 4) Old Business

 5) Communication from Staff

 Commissioner Maschek noted that the Housing Sub-Committee of the Plan Commission
 is currently reviewing housing policy in Skokie with the goal of streamlining the
 approval process. As part of this effort, the Sub-Committee is discussing the development
 of standards that would allow certain residential projects to bypass review by the
 Appearance Commission, provided they meet all criteria set forth by the Village.

 Commissioner Maschek explained that the intent is to simplify the approval process for
 applicants, reducing the time and resources required for projects that may otherwise be


627979
 subject to unnecessary reviews. He emphasized that these changes are still under
 discussion within the Housing Sub-Committee.
