To the Skokie Community -


I am pleased to present the Skokie Community Health Plan: A Five-year Strategy for a
Healthier Skokie. For 18 months a vibrant, diverse community group has worked to
develop the plan, which is a first for Skokie. As part of the process, people who live,
work and attend school in Skokie were asked to share their observations about health
issues in Skokie through a widely distributed Community Health Survey. More than
1,300 people completed the survey, sharing concerns along with thoughtful comments
and suggestions. This plan simply would not have been possible without such strong
community involvement.


The Skokie Community Health Plan establishes five-year community health priorities
for the Skokie Health Department and its partners, and creates a vision for a healthy
community. Policies and programs have been developed for four priorities: improving
access to healthcare, preventing obesity, preventing tobacco use, and protecting
the environment. Of course the Health Department will also continue to focus on
core public health functions, such as ensuring safe food and water, and responding to
infectious diseases in the community.


Fulfilling the Community Health Plan will require a committed effort, and we will pro-
vide annual updates describing progress. If you are interested in participating in the
process, or have questions about the Community Health Plan, contact information is
included at the end of this document. I look forward to working with you.



Sincerely,




Catherine A. Counard, MD, MPH
Skokie Director of Health

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

3. By the terms of the aforesaid permit, the PROPERTY OWNER is required to install
 and maintain landscaping in accordance with the plan dated October 29, 2012 or as
 it may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager, or
 designee, and the Corporation Counsel.

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

5. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:

 (a) installation of the landscaping in accordance with the landscaping plan
 approved by the VILLAGE, and
 (b) continued maintenance and care of the landscaping, including any
 landscaping indicated in the parkway area.

6. The property, which is the subject matter of this Agreement, is legally described
 above. The portions of the subject property which are to be landscaped and
 maintained pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are indicated on
 the Landscape Plan attached hereto, marked Exhibit “1” and are hereby made a part
 of this Agreement.

7. PROPERTY OWNER agrees that the installation and maintenance of the
 landscaping which is required in accordance with the permit issued by the VILLAGE
 and this Agreement will materially benefit the subject property. Such landscaping is
 necessary in order for the PROPERTY OWNER to comply with the conditions of the
 permit issued or granted by the VILLAGE for the PROPERTY OWNER’s requested
 development or use of the property.

8. PROPERTY OWNER shall diligently maintain and care for the landscaping which is
 installed and required by the permit and this Agreement, using generally accepted
 methods of cultivation and watering. The PROPERTY OWNER shall maintain a
 standard of care necessary to prevent the landscaping from deteriorating to the
 extent that its value as landscaping is destroyed. If Exhibit “1”, attached hereto or
 permit specifies maintenance standards or procedures, such procedures are hereby
 adopted as part of this Agreement, and by such adoption, become enforcement
 conditions of this Agreement.

9. Failure to maintain the landscaping as required by this Agreement shall be a
 nuisance. In the event the PROPERTY OWNER fails to meet the standard of
 maintenance necessary to keep the landscaping in a healthy condition as required
 by this Agreement, the VILLAGE shall give written notice of the deficiency to the
 PROPERTY OWNER who shall have 20 days to make the necessary correction or
 replacement. If such correction or replacement is not made within the aforesaid 20-
 day period, the VILLAGE may elect to abate the nuisance and take necessary action
 to assure that the landscaping is replaced and/or maintained. In the event, the
 VILLAGE so elects; the VILLAGE shall serve notice of its intent to enter the
 premises for this purpose. The VILLAGE shall either personally serve the notice
 upon the PROPERTY OWNER or mail a copy of it by certified mail to the
 PROPERTY OWNER's last known address, or as shown on the tax rolls, at least 15
 days in advance of the date when the VILLAGE or its agent intends to enter the
 premises.

10. For this purpose, the VILLAGE or its agent may enter upon the property and perform
 such work as it considers reasonably necessary and proper to restore, maintain, or
 replace the landscaping required by this Agreement. The VILLAGE may act either
 through its own employees or through an independent contractor.

11. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to reimbursement for abating the nuisance in
 restoring, maintaining or replacing the landscaping, provided that the VILLAGE
 follows the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Costs shall include but shall not
 be limited to actual costs incurred by the VILLAGE and administrative costs. The
 VILLAGE shall make demand upon the PROPERTY OWNER for payment. If the
 PROPERTY OWNER fails to pay the costs within 30 days of the date on which
 demand is made, the VILLAGE may cause a lien to be placed on the subject
 property. The VILLAGE may record a notice with the Recorder of Deeds for Cook
 County stating that it has incurred expenses under the terms this Landscape
 Agreement. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to collect interest at the statutory rate on
 the amount owed.

12. In addition to having a lien placed on the subject property, the VILLAGE may
 institute a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNER agrees
 to pay the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs.

13. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post
 additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the
 VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNER to post additional security. The
 VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing
 performance in a form signed by sureties satisfactory to the VILLAGE. The
 condition of the security shall be that if the PROPERTY OWNER fails to perform any
 obligation under this Agreement, the VILLAGE may, act on behalf of the
 PROPERTY OWNER and use the proceeds of the cash bond, or in the case of a
 surety bond, require the securities to perform the obligations of this Agreement.

14. The PROPERTY OWNER hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
 VILLAGE, its trustees, officials, employees and agents for any costs, claims, actions
 or causes of action for personal injury, property damage or otherwise, including
 reasonable attorneys fees, which may arise from the VILLAGE exercising any of its
 rights or obligations and performance under this Agreement.

15. All notices required or to be given pursuant hereto shall be in writing and either

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2012-46P: Site Plan Approval
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, November 19, 2012


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case: 2012-46P: Site Plan Approval
 8216 Kilpatrick Avenue (multifamily building with 6 residences)

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its October 18, 2012, meeting, the Plan Commission heard a request from Bella
and Mark Feyman for a site plan approval for a multifamily building with 6 residences in
an R4 Multifamily Housing district at 8216 Kilpatrick Avenue, plus relief from several
zoning requirements.

The subject property officially contains a legal noncomforming, 5-unit building, built
legally in 1959. A sixth unit in the building was recently discovered during an
emergency call by the Fire Department. The petitioner indicated that he purchased the
building with the sixth unit over 20 years ago. Since the building was constructed, the
zoning ordinance has been amended to reduce the allowable units per acre in a R4
district. Today only 2.5 units could be constructed on the site; however, the higher
density of the building is supported by the Comprehensive Plan and would be brought
into compliance by a proposed R5 Transit Area Housing district recommended by the
Village’s Temporary Zoning Commission that was convened after the 2007
Comprehensive Plan was approved. A review by staff of 39 properties in the R4 district
revealed that only 7 or 18% of the properties conform to the current R4 regulations in
terms of density. The Plan Commission concurred with the staff recommendation to
grant the site plan approval with 5 required areas of relief.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning
Ordinance. A Commissioner asked if the first floor 2-bedroom unit could be combined
with the nonconforming 1-bedroom unit. The units cannot be combined because the
common hallways used by all occupants of the building are located between the 2 units
in question. Another Commissioner asked what would happen when the building was
sold. If the site plan (and related relief) is approved, it would stay with the property
and be transferred to the new owner. A third question asked by a Commissioner was
what the 1-bedroom space was originally used for. It was originally a utility room. A
final question asked by a Commissioner was if there was a charge for on-site parking
and if the sixth tenant has a car parked on the street. The 2-bedroom apartments each
have 1 parking space at no charge, and the sixth tenant parks on the street. There
were no other testimonies by interested parties.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays, and 1 absent, that
the petitioner’s request for a site plan approval for a multifamily building with 6
residences in a R4 Multifamily Housing district and relief from §118-114(1) to allow less
than 2,200 square feet of lot area/unit, §118-114(3) to allow a building taller than 2
floors, §118-212(a)(1) to allow parking spaces narrower than 9 feet, §118-212(a)(6) to
allow a parking space adjacent to a fence narrower than 10 feet, and §118-218(1) to
provide 5 parking spaces in lieu of 7 parking spaces for the property at 8216 Kilpatrick
Avenue be APPROVED, subject to the attached Plan Commission Positive Findings of
Fact and Plan Commission Recommended Conditions listed below.

Plan Commission
Positive Findings of Fact 2012-46P: Site Plan Approval
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, November 19, 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 configuration of the building as it currently exists, as well as
 the existing circulation system, does not unduly aggravate traffic or
 public facilities, utilities, or services.


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. Although the modifications proposed to the existing
 conditions are minimal, they are intended to improve the property.

Case Description

2012-46P – Site Plan Approval: 8216 Kilpatrick
Bella and Mark Feyman request site plan approval for a multifamily building with 6
residences in an R4 Multifamily Housing district, relief from the Zoning chapter of the
Village Code to continue providing 5 rather than the required 7 vehicle parking spaces, and
any other relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. This building
currently has 5 legal multifamily residences and 1 nonconforming multifamily residence.

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.

Mark Feyman, 1833 Monroe, Unit #B in Glenview, Illinois and property owner of twenty-
three years for 8216 Kilpatrick was sworn–in as petitioner for the case.

The multifamily building has a total of six units, above ground. When the building was
purchased, it was sold as a six unit building. The building is built on a concrete slab meaning
that all units are above ground. There are five, 2 bedroom apartments and one, 1 bedroom
apartment. The sixth unit, which is 1 bedroom, was discovered to be non-conforming this
year when emergency assistance was required at the building. A single tenant had been
living in the sixth unit with a three year lease when the building was purchased. It was
assumed that the unit was legal at the time of purchase. There is a 2 bedroom on the same
level of the sixth unit in question that is larger.

Feyman stated that the sixth unit has been in existence for a long time without issue and
because it is the kind of apartment that is sought after with the influx of younger commuters
for the new Oakton CTA station, ISTP employees, it is requested to have site plan approval.

The existence of the apartment does not change the traffic patterns, the Oakton CTA train
station is two blocks away and can occupy 1-2 people not more which provides an
opportunity for young professionals and students to live in Skokie and then consider
purchasing in Skokie as they age and as their family grows. Feyman would like the
apartment to be approved. The owner states the apartment is in good condition, does not
have any other violations and willing to make any necessary upgrades.

Commissioner Berman asked is it possible to combine one of the 2 bedrooms with the 1
bedroom unit.

The petitioner stated that due to two hallways between the units it would not make a
combination of the units possible.


414993 Plan Commission meeting minutes 10/18/2012 Case 2012-46P
Director of Community Development, Peyer stated that the building was built in 1959 as a
five unit building. It was however, built with an extra unit in the back that never exposed by
inspectors. At one time all units conformed to code except the 1 bedroom.

Commission Chairman Luke asked what would happen if the unit is approved and then the
building was sold. Will the approval of the sixth unit be transferred to the new owner?

Corporation Counsel McCarthy stated yes it would be transferred. It would be more difficult
to make it contingent for the owner thus making the building difficult to sell if it were not
transferable.

Peyer stated that the approval would be a permanent use; any other changes would have to
come forth to the Plan Commission.

Feyman was asked to step down.

Commissioner Berman asked what the building space was intended for.

Peyer stated it was utility room. There were no doors shown on the building plans. The
apartment was exposed during a fire incident and reported.

The Plan Commission moved to recommend approval for Site Plan Approval with relief.
The Zoning Ordinance has changed since the building was built. We would be allowing an
increase in the density over what is allowed in the district at this time. The approval would
be compatible for what is considered in the Comprehensive Plan for the area. The Zoning
Commission, created several years ago, recommended a higher density for the residential
area around the core of Downtown Skokie, where this property is located. This approval
would be within the recommended density range. Most of the current buildings in the area are
non-conforming with higher density than the current ordinance allows. This would be
helpful by making the current non-conforming building legal.

Commissioner Chair Luke asked the petitioner if he had any concerns with the
recommendations.

Feyman stated that he had no problems.

Commission Chairman Luke asked Feyman if there was a charge for parking in any of the
five spots for tenants.

Feyman stated that the five/two bedroom apartments have the parking spaces at no charge.
The sixth one bedroom apartment does not have a private space and uses on street parking.

Commission Chairman Luke asked if the sixth tenant has a car and how is parking on the
street?

Feyman stated that there have been no problems. Most buildings in the neighborhood have
parking in the back. Some tenants do not have cars and many rent out their spaces between
tenants. He intends to keep the spaces only for the two bedroom apartment tenants. Most
buildings would have a basement underground apartment, but this unit is above ground.

To: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
From: Carrie Haberstich, AICP, Planner/CDBG Administrator
Re: Site Plan Approval: 8216 Kilpatrick Avenue

General Information
Location 8216 Kilpatrick Avenue
Purpose To obtain a site plan approval for a multifamily building with 6
 residences in an R4 Multifamily Housing district, relief from the
 Zoning chapter of the Village Code to continue providing 5 rather
 than the 7 required vehicle parking spaces, and any other relief that
 may be discovered during the review of this case. This building
 currently has 5 legal multifamily residences and 1 nonconforming
 multifamily residence.
Petitioner Bella and Mark Feyman
Size of Site 5,511 square feet (0.13-acre)
Existing Zoning & R4 Multifamily Housing (5-unit legal nonconforming multifamily
Land Use building, plus 1 illegal unit within the same building)
Adjacent Zoning & North R4 Multifamily Housing (4-unit multifamily building)
Land Use
 South R4 Multifamily Housing (2-unit multifamily building)
 East R4 Multifamily Housing (2-unit multifamily buildings)
 West R4 Multifamily Housing (3- and 4-unit multifamily buildings)
Comprehensive Plan The subject site is designated as other residential.


EXISTING SITE INFORMATION
 The site includes one existing 5-unit building built in 1959.
 A total of 5 parking spaces exist on the west side of the site along the alley.
 A public sidewalk exists along Kilpatrick Avenue.
 The property is 2.5 blocks from the Searle Parkway entrance of the Oakton-Skokie CTA
 Station.
 Some property maintenance/landscaping improvements are needed, regardless of the
 recommendations set forth below.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioner bought this building as a 6-unit building around 20 years ago. A tenant had
been living in this apartment for more than 3 years prior to the purchase of the building. It
is an apartment with a big living/dining room combination, full kitchen with appliances,
bedroom, and full bathroom.
This building was built on a slab, which means that all apartments in the building and the
boiler and laundry room are above ground.
The legalization of this apartment will not cause a traffic problem because the building is
located only 2 blocks from the new Skokie Swift Station.
As stated above, this apartment has been in existence for all these years, and legalizing
this unit will be only a paper change and will not provide any impact to the neighborhood.


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
 This is an existing scenario and no change is being requested to increase intensity. The
 parking spaces are substandard in width; however, their configuration is an existing
 condition. Increasing the parking space widths to the standard 9-foot width would
 eliminate a parking space, which is not desirable. On-street parking is available on
 Kilpatrick Avenue. There is no objection to this request; however, the parking area
 must be seal coated and restriped.


 Planning Division
 Existing Conditions
 The subject property officially contains a legal noncomforming, 5-unit building, built
 legally in 1959. The current zoning, R4 Multifamily Housing, allows 1 unit per 2,200
 square feet of lot area. Since the subject property is only 5,511 square feet, only 2.5
 units could be built legally today; however, neighboring properties on both sides of the
 8200 block of Kilpatrick Avenue and the east side of the 8200 block of Keating Avenue
 have a range of 2-unit to 11-unit buildings. Of the 39 properties analyzed in the area of
 the subject property, only 7 of the properties conform to the current R4 regulations
 from a density standpoint.

 According to www.cookcountypropertyinfo.org, the petitioner is being taxed for only a
 5-unit building.

 Administrative Hearing
 After being called to the subject property, the Fire Department discovered a 6th unit and
 informed the Property Standards Division. In January 2012, the Property Standards
 Division staff inspected the entire property, and in March 2012, issued a ticket to the
 petitioner for an illegal 6th unit in the multifamily building. The petitioner has attended
 several Village of Skokie Administrative Hearings, and the case is currently being
 continued in order for the petitioner’s request to be considered before the Plan
 Commission and Village Board.

 R5 Transit Area Housing
 In 2007, the Comprehensive Plan for Skokie, Illinois, was updated with the adoption of
 the 2020 Plan for Sector A: Downtown. After the plan adoption, the Village’s
 Temporary Zoning Commission was convened to make zoning recommendations for a
 new residential district and other associated amendments to the Zoning Chapter of the
 Village Code.
 After a series of public hearings were held, recommendations were made by the
 Temporary Zoning Commission for a new residential district with a base density of 55
 units/acre (or 792 square feet/unit, down from the 2,200 square feet/unit in the R4
 district), with a density bonus system allowing up to 85 units/acre (or 512 square
 feet/unit). In addition, front yard driveways and curb cuts were strongly discouraged, a
 financial penalty for non-alley curb cuts was encouraged, and financial contributions to
 a parking fund in lieu of providing parking were recommended.
 Consideration of the R5 district is on tonight’s Plan Commission meeting agenda;
 however, this case (2012-45P) for a Zoning Chapter Amendment: New R5 Transit Area
 Housing district will be continued to an undetermined date.

 Summary
 The subject property meets the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and is
 located in an area being considered for the new R5 district, and if the R5 district is
 approved and subsequently applied to the subject property, 6 units would be permitted,
 and up to 10 units would be permitted if the density bonuses were maximized.
 The petitioner is requesting:
 1. Legalizing an illegal 6th unit within the existing multifamily building.
 2. Relief from the 1.5-parking space requirement for the 6th unit.
 From the long-range planning perspective approved in the 2020 Plan for Sector A:
 Downtown update to the Comprehensive Plan of Skokie, Illinois, staff supports the
 request, including allowing the 6th unit (since it provides higher-density residential
 development near the Oakton-Skokie CTA Station) and relief from the 1.5-parking space
 requirement for the 6th unit (since on-street parking is available on Kilpatrick Avenue).

Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2012-46P: Site Plan Approval
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, October 18, 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 configuration of the building as it currently exists, as well as
 the existing circulation system, does not unduly aggravate traffic or
 public facilities, utilities, or services.

 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
