 WHEREAS, the National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recover Month) is
celebrating its 23rd year of observance this September. This year’s theme, “Join the Voices for
Recovery: Together We Learn, Together We Heal” emphasizes the need to use all available resources,
both in our communities and on the Internet, to educate people about the disease of addition, seek
help, and heal. It also celebrates those who have worked to advance the treatment and recovery
landscape. Recovery Month is designed to help people understand there is hope and that help for
alcohol and drug use disorders is effective and available; and

 WHEREAS, according to the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH),
published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA), 23.2 million persons aged 12 or older (9.4 percent of persons aged
12 or older), needed treatment for an illicit drug, or alcohol use problem. Of these, 15.5 million were
dependent on or abused alcohol, but not illicit drugs, 3.7 million were dependent on or abused illicit
drugs, but not alcohol, and 3.2 million were classified with dependence on or abuse of both alcohol
and illicit drugs.

 WHEREAS, health care, addiction treatment and recovery services for those in need is a
national health priority. In the past several years, steps have been taken to help expand treatment
capacity and recovery support services in our country. To help increase the number of available
treatment options, SAMHSA is leading the Access to Recovery initiative, a consumer-driven approach
for obtaining treatment and sustaining recovery through a State-run voucher program. Working with
all levels of government, communities, businesses and society as a whole, SAMHSA is working to
create a healthcare system that both embraces and understands the need for more drug and alcohol
treatment services.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE VAN DUSEN, Mayor of the Village of Skokie, do
hereby proclaim the month of September 2012, as


  “NATIONAL ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION RECOVERY MONTH”
and urge its residents to help those in need of treatment and to expand the treatment capacity in this
country. We must seek to inspire all levels of government, business and society to work together toward
creating a seamless healthcare system that embraces treatment and supports and understands those in
need of treatment services.

 Dated this 20th day of August 2012

166197 National Alcohol and Drug Addition Recovery Month
 WHEREAS, in the year 2012, the month of September has been declared
National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month; and

 WHEREAS, in the year 2011, approximately 234,460 men in the United
States will learn that they have prostate cancer, and across the nation prostate cancer
is the most commonly diagnosed nonskin cancer in men; and

 WHEREAS, approximately 27,350 men will lose their lives to this disease in
2011, and one in six men in the nation are at risk of developing prostate cancer during
their lifetime; and

 WHEREAS, it is known that almost one third of prostate cancer occurs in
men under the age of 65, during their prime work years, and at any age, prostate
cancer devastates families through loss of income, partnership, and support, and

 WHEREAS, prostate cancer leaves too many parents, women, children and
other family members without a man they love, and African American families are
disproportionately affected due to African American men having higher rates of
prostate cancer diagnosis and death, than men of other racial or ethnic groups in the
United States; and

 WHEREAS, research suggests that men could reduce their risk of prostate
cancer mortality if they followed recommended prostate cancer screening guidelines,
including examination by a health care provider and increased awareness and use of
early detection practices.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE VAN DUSEN, Mayor of the Village
of Skokie, do hereby proclaim the month of September 2012 as,

 “NATIONAL PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH”

and urge all men in our community and throughout the country to become aware of
their own risks of prostate cancer. They should talk to their health care providers about
prostate cancer, and, whenever appropriate, get screened for the disease.

 Passed this 20th day August 2012

Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, August 20, 2012


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
Case: 2012-31P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Outdoor dining in H1 Hospital district


PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its July 5, 2012 meeting, the Plan Commission reviewed proposed regulations to add
outdoor dining on private property as a permitted use with an outdoor dining permit
under certain conditions in an H1 Hospital district.
Discussion specific to the chapter amendment was limited to clarifying that any outdoor
dining in the H1 district would need to follow the same standard regulations in the
zoning ordinance as other outdoor dining locations and also that the location would
need to be specifically located as part of a site plan approval. When asked by a
commissioner about outdoor dining at other hospitals, Staff stated that they are not
aware of any other hospitals having outdoor dining, and the petitioner’s representative
answered that although he cannot speak of other hospitals, Skokie Hospital is the first
in the NorthShore group with plans for it, with another planned for Glenbrook Hospital.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly advertised as prescribed by the zoning chapter. One
interested party spoke about trash blowing across Gross Point Road. A response was
supplied by the chairman. It should be noted that the concern was not about amending
the zoning ordinance to permit outdoor dining in H1 districts.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends, by a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays, to amend sections
of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie Village Code be amended, with text to be added
highlighted and text to be deleted highlighted and stricken through, as presented in
staff report for this case.

To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
From: Steve Marciani, Planning Supervisor
Case: 2012-31P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Outdoor dining in H1 Hospital district


 General Information
 Petitioner North Shore University Health Systems
 Purpose To amend §118-85(e)(2) of the Skokie Village Code to add
 outdoor dining on private property as a permitted use with an
 outdoor dining permit under certain conditions in an H1
 Hospital district and any other related amendments that may
 be associated with this case.

STAFF ANALYSIS
North Shore University Health Systems requests an amendment to §118-85(e)(2) of the
Skokie Village Code to add outdoor dining on private property as a permitted use with
an outdoor dining permit under certain conditions in an H1 Hospital district and any
other related amendments that may be associated with this case.
The petitioner states:
 “Skokie Hospital wishes to provide the opportunity for patrons, visitors
 and staff to dine in a pleasant, landscaped outdoor environment. The
 Hospital feels that this amenity will contribute to the health and
 welfare of the community.”
When the current outdoor dining regulations were proposed, the Zoning Review
Committee discussed and had no concerns about adding this use to the H1 district.
However, since there was no need for the use at that time, the district was not included
in the final recommendation to the Plan Commission. Staff supports the petitioner’s
request.


STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the following sections of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie
Village Code be amended, with text to be added highlighted and text to be deleted
highlighted and stricken through:

Case Description

2012-31P – Zoning Chapter Amendment
North Shore University Health Systems requests an amendment to Section 118-85(e)(2) of the
Skokie Village Code to add outdoor dining on private property as a permitted use with an
outdoor dining permit under certain conditions in an H1 Hospital district and any other related
amendments that may be associated with 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.

Architect, Bill Lampkin and Jeff Connor of Eckenhoff Saunders Architects, presented the case.
The hospital is intending to construct a terrace opening up from the new cafeteria and conference
center just south of the 2-story addition facing the south lawn. This positive feature for staff and
patrons will provide the option of seasonal outdoor dining. From the renderings shown, it was
pointed out that there will be plantings, a perennial garden, and a pathway with seating area
bordering the terrace. The furniture is not permanent and can be arranged to seat 50-70 people.

The Plan Commission chairman cautioned the need for policing the area so that debris does not
blow onto Golf Road.

A Plan Commissioner asked if this amenity is available to the general public as well as staff and
patrons.

Staff stated that the use was not previously added to the permitted uses in districts where outdoor
dining is allowed. It is a permitted use that will be covered under site plan approval. Staff is
highly supportive of the request.

A Plan Commissioner asked about the outdoor dining regulations listed in a separate section of
the Village Code. It was explained that seasonal outdoor dining is regarded as a temporary use
but when hours or days of operation are extended to longer periods it would be deemed
permanent and parking considerations would be needed. Therefore, reasonable restrictions were
put in place.

Another commissioner questioned if outdoor dining at other hospitals is successful; without
problems. Staff stated that they are not aware of any other hospitals having outdoor dining. Bill
Lampkin answered that he cannot speak of other hospitals but Skokie Hospital is the first in the

31P__Zoning_chapter_amendment_to_add_outdoor_dining_to_the_H1_district

NorthShore group with plans for it and that Glenbrook Hospital is also undergoing construction
and has included an outdoor terrace as well.

John Hedges, 9717 Gross Point Road, wants his concern noted about trash blowing across Gross
Point Road currently and once outdoor dining is put in place the problem will only be
exasperated. He would like to know what steps will be taken to control the matter. The chairman
stated that the hospital grounds are well maintained and they will be diligent in their monitoring
efforts. He also stated that this should not be compared to a fast food or drive-through
restaurant.

Another commissioner asked if the curb barrier will be used to control the waste paper. Bill
Lampkin answered that the intent of the design was for privacy seating but would be possible to
serve in that purpose somewhat.


Recommendation and Voting

The Plan Commission moved to recommend approval of this case based on positive findings of
fact. The motion was approved with a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays.

Motion: Stasica Second: Berman

 Related Cases – 2102-30P: Parking Determination

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its July 5, 2012, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of North Shore
University Health Systems for site plan approval for a multiphase set of modifications to
the Skokie Hospital campus at 9600 Gross Point Road. The petitioner also requests
relief from sections 82-28(b)(2) and 82-28(d)(1) of the Sign chapter to allow a wall sign
larger than 200ft2 and total wall signage area for a building with 3 or more frontages
facing a street in excess of 1,000 ft2. Additional relief from the current site plan
approval to allow parking in a required front yard, to allow bicycle parking spaces
further than 40 feet from building entrances, and to allow relief from directional sign
requirements will also be carried forward.
Improvements will include:
 • The demolition of the administration building and the construction of a new
 surgery building in its place.
 • The infill of existing courtyard and the deleting of the previously approved
 atrium.
 • Adding to and expanding the patient tower.
 • Minor parking lot improvements and removal of the parking in the south lawn.
 • Exterior material improvements.
 • A new canopy and skylight at the entrance to the main lobby of the hospital,
 which will be expanded to include a new two-story atrium. (Previously approved)
 • Reconfiguration of the entrance to the Emergency Department and the
 construction of a new canopy. (Previously approved)
 • Demolition of the office building at 9700 Kenton and 9701 Knox. (Previously
 approved)
 • Realignment and simplification of the internal vehicular and pedestrian
 circulation systems with the installation of a new traffic signal at the Golf and

 Knox intersection, modification of left-turn lanes at Golf and Knox, relocation of
 Payne Street between Knox and Kenton to align with the private portion of
 Payne Street east of Kenton, installation of a new southbound right turn lane on
 Knox at Golf, and development of additional surface parking on the west side of
 the campus. (Previously approved)
 • Standardization of the site lighting and installation of new landscaping
 throughout. (Previously approved)
 • Bringing the entire campus into compliance with the stormwater control
 requirements. (Previously approved)
 • The burial of the overhead utilities along Kenton Avenue, removing 18 utility
 poles. (Previously approved) Three utility poles are remaining at this time and
 will be removed as construction progresses.
A complete list of changes from the 2009 Master Plan is attached.
There was little discussion by the Plan Commission regarding this case other than to
reconfirm facts presented by the petitioner, confirming that there would be no
reduction in patient care or services or conflicts with construction traffic during the
construction period (which will run through 2016), verification that missing parking lots
trees will be replaced, and clarification about the signage relief requested.
The Plan Commission supported all 5 items of relief described in the Staff Report, 3 of
which were approved in the case 2009-24P. Many of the conditions of that case were
also incorporated into this case.
The Plan Commission also determined in case 2012-30P that the parking requirement
for Skokie Hospital at 9600 Gross Point Road and two medical office buildings at 9650
Gross Point Road and 9669 Kenton Avenue is 1,495 vehicle parking spaces.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning
Ordinance. One interested party expressed concern about construction noise affecting
the multifamily residence to the south of the site. The Community Development
Director replied by stating the hours in the Village Code in which construction may
occur.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The Appearance Commission reviewed the building elevations and signage for this
request at the June 13, 2012, hearing (Case: 2012-034A). The modifications to the
hospital building, new surgical center, and signage were approved, and it was
recommended that the 621 square-foot sign receive relief from 82-28(b)(2) of the Sign
Code since the sign size seemed proportional to the size of the south elevation.

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-32P: Site Plan Approval
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, August 20, 2012




1 Consideration The site plan and any requested relief will not unduly aggravate
 traffic conditions nor burden public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, public safety, and public welfare in general.
 Findings The proposed modifications to the site plan will enhance the
 operation of the hospital and will not have any negative impact on
 traffic, public services, or public welfare in general. The requested
 relief for oversized wall signage will not have any negative impacts
 and is necessary to properly identify the hospital.
2 Consideration The site design will permit the development and use of neighboring
 properties in accordance with the applicable district regulations.
 Findings The site design will not deter the development and use of
 neighboring properties in accordance with the applicable district
 regulations. Traffic circulation and vehicular access to the
 properties to the south will benefit from the traffic signal.

A complete list of changes from the 2009 Master Plan is attached.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff comment and review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff
comments on the subject case were received from the Public Works Department. All
other departments returned the sheets with no comments.
Public Works Department – Engineering Division
The Engineering Division’s parking analysis is included in the parking determination for
case 2012-30P. The Engineering Division approves the modifications to the hospital
Master Plan. The Director of Engineering indicated that as part of the plan Payne Street
must still be relocated and that a traffic signal must be installed at the Golf Road/Knox
Avenue intersection. A complete sidewalk system must be installed at the site as
indicated in the Master Plan.
Public Works Department – Forestry Division
The Village Forester requested a revised existing tree survey and removal plan with a
better defined list of trees to be removed and a map. Many parking lot trees have been
removed and need to be replaced. All infested Green ash trees need to be removed.
The Forester also noted that large shade trees are being removed at the south side of
VOSDOCS-#410196-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2012-32P__Site_plan_approval_for_Skokie_Hospital


 11 of 18
the building that will affect the appearance of the area and view from patient windows.
The Forester recommended that a green roof be considered on the new hospital
addition by the outdoor dining area.
Planning Division
The Planning Division is supportive of the proposed site plan, subject to minor revisions.
The improvements allow for the replacement and expansion of surgical, clinical,
treatment, and patient areas that will keep the Skokie Hospital facility current, improve
its efficiency, and make it more competitive. The new compact building configuration
of the campus will allow future expansion and redevelopment of the surface lots to
occur in a more orderly manner. The number of health sector jobs in Skokie will also
be increased, although a number could not be verified.
The new relief requested from §82-28(b)(2) and §82-28(d)(1) to allow the large wall
signage on the south elevation and increase the total wall signage size since the signs
are not out of scale with the size of the building. Both were approved by the
Appearance Commission and Staff supports the new requests. It should be noted that
the removal of the parking lot on the south lawn will reduce the previously granted
front yard parking relief.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The Appearance Commission reviewed the building elevations and signage for this
request at the June 13, 2012, hearing (Case: 2012-034A). The modifications to the
hospital building, new surgical center, and signage were approved, and it was
recommended that the 621 square-foot sign receive relief from 82-28(b)(2) of the Sign
Code since the sign size seemed proportional to the size of the south elevation.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a site plan approval for a multiphase
site plan approval for modifications to Skokie Hospital at 9600 Gross Point Road,
existing medical office buildings at 9650 and 9669 Gross Point Road, the removal of
existing office buildings at 9700 Kenton Avenue and 9701 Knox Avenue, and associated
parking lots, including 9618 Kenton Avenue and 4601 Payne Street, in an H1 Hospital
district and establishing the front yard as Golf Road be APPROVED subject to the
attached Positive Findings of Fact and Recommended Site Plan Approval Conditions
listed below.
It is also recommended that the existing site plan approval be repealed and replaced by
this site plan approval.
Staff further recommends that relief be granted from:
 1. §118-217(d)(1) to allow parking in a required front yard as indicated on the final
 approved site plan.

 dimension larger than 38 inches in one direction, and more than one sign per
 driveway opening, as indicated in the petitioner’s previously approved sign
 package.
 4. §82-28(b)(2) to allow the installation of wall signage on the south elevation of
 Skokie Hospital that has a gross area in greater than of 200 ft2.
 5. §82-28(d)(1) to allow wall signs on the south and east elevation of Skokie
 Hospital resulting in a total gross surface area of all signs for a building of 3 or
 more frontages in excess of 1,000 ft2.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
 Date: July 5, 2012

A motion to approve the minutes of the June 21, 2012 meeting was made by Commissioner
Mitchell and seconded by Commissioner Laxpati. All voted aye.

Case Description

2012-32P – Site Plan Approval: 9600 Gross Point Road, 9650 Gross Point Road, 9669
 Kenton Avenue, and 4601 Payne Street
North Shore University Health Systems requests a multiphase site plan approval for
modifications to its campus, commonly known as Skokie Hospital, including but not limited to
demolishing an existing 3-story administration building and replacing it with a new surgery
building, infilling an existing court yard, expanding the patient tower to the south and west,
exterior façade improvements, and minor parking lot modifications. The petitioner also requests
additional relief from certain sections of the Sign chapter and any other relief that may be
discovered during the review of this request.

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.

Architect Bill Lampkin and Jeff Connor of Eckenhoff Saunders Architects, presented the case.
This project builds on the 2009 approved plan. The addition of the new facilities will bring
Skokie Hospital to the forefront for the future. A status report of the approved plan and the
phasing of the new improvements were reviewed.

The chairman asked about existing buildings; specifically the MRI and oxygen buildings. The
MRI building will be demolished and will be part of the newly constructed south and west
expansion. The oxygen facility has been constructed and is in operation. Hospice care is not part
of the plan at this time.

Another commissioner wanted to review the rendering showing the location of the new surgery
building which replaces the 3-story administration building.
Another commissioner wanted clarification that all patient rooms will become single rooms. The
chairman asked about the possibility of a reduction of care during construction. Bill Lampkin
stated that the hospital is very organized and has set aside vacant space for the shifting of areas
when needed. The bulk of the project will be complete in 2015. Truck and construction
problems have not been an issue up to now and are not anticipated with this project.

Staff did not have much to add to the hospital’s presentation. The oversized signs do not meet
the Village’s requirements. They were reviewed by the Appearance Commission and deemed to
be appropriate but need approval from the Plan Commission as well. The Engineering Division
requests a better chart of the parking areas including designation of handicap spaces and bicycle
parking. There are also many parking lot trees that need to be replaced.

and work cannot begin before 7:30 AM.

fact. The motion was approved with a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays.
