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

16 2. By the terms of the aforesaid permit, the PROPERTY OWNER is required to install
17 and maintain landscaping in accordance with the plan dated October 26, 2017,
18 or as it may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager, or
19 designee, and the Corporation Counsel.

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

26 4. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:

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

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

 VOSDOCS-#525954-v1-Ordinance__2017-37P__SUP__Special_Trade_Contractor_s_Office__4051_Main_St_.doc
1 6. PROPERTY OWNER agrees that the installation and maintenance of the
2 landscaping which is required in accordance with the permit issued by the VILLAGE
3 and this Agreement will materially benefit the Subject Property. Such landscaping is
4 necessary in order for the PROPERTY OWNER to comply with the conditions of the
5 permit issued or granted by the VILLAGE for the PROPERTY OWNER’s requested
6 development or use of the property.

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

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

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

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

44 11. In addition to having a lien placed on the Subject Property, the VILLAGE may
45 institute a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNER agrees
46 to pay the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs.

 VOSDOCS-#525954-v1-Ordinance__2017-37P__SUP__Special_Trade_Contractor_s_Office__4051_Main_St_.doc
1 12. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
2 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post
3 additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the
4 VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNER to post additional security. The
5 VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing
6 performance in a form signed by sureties satisfactory to the VILLAGE. The
7 condition of the security shall be that if the PROPERTY OWNER fails to perform any
8 obligation under this Agreement, the VILLAGE may, act on behalf of the
9 PROPERTY OWNER and use the proceeds of the cash bond, or in the case of a
10 surety bond, require the securities to perform the obligations of this Agreement.

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

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2017-38P: Site Plan Approval
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, December 18, 2017


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case: 2017-38P: Site Plan Approval
 8000 North Mixed-Use Development

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its December 7, 2017, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s
request for site plan approval for a mixed-use building, an attached parking garage
structure with ground floor retail, and storm water detention, plus relief from §118-
212(b)(2) to provide an interior ramp grade of 12% rather than the required 10%
maximum in a portion of the garage, §118-212(i)(9) to provide visual cues to indicate
barriers between pedestrian and vehicle zones within the interior of an off-street area
rather than continuous curbing, and §118-212(a)(1) to allow 17’ stall depths at parking
spaces encroached upon by structural columns rather than the required 18’, and any
additional relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.
The building will contain 153 apartments, 15,310 ft2 of modern retail space, and a 265-
space parking garage. The rental residences will include 16 studios, 63 one-bedroom,
68 two-bedroom, and 6 three-bedroom units. The 12th floor will have a fitness and yoga
studio, coffee bar, lounge, game room, party room, storage lockers, and multiple
landscaped outdoor areas for use by the tenants.
The parking in the garage replaces the 33 public parking spaces lost and adds 40 more
public parking spaces, totaling 73. The project will also add 4 on-street parking spaces,
with an option to add up to 3 additional spaces, to Oakton Street. The height to the
top of the highest building parapet, over the partial 12th floor, is 136’-6”; the height of
the parapet of the garage is 63’-6”; the height of the first floor from grade to the top of
the second floor is 15’. Residential bicycle parking is also provided in the garage for 29
bikes.
The proposal also includes a landscaped courtyard that will include outdoor dining and
other seating and the ability for vehicles to enter the space to drop-off or pick-up
people near the residential entrance or at the retail space.
The streetscaping will be generally consistent with the Village standards for Downtown;
however, the applicant would like to extend the paving materials from the courtyard
into the public right-of-way which will require relief from the code requirements.
The Plan Commission concurred with the staff recommendation to grant the requested
site plan approval. Discussion centered on vehicle access to the development, parking,
and the operation of the building’s motor courtyard. Commissioners questioned how
vehicles would access the development and the entrances to the parking garage. There
were questions about the adequacy of the parking and how spaces would be separated
VOSDOCS-#525749-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2017-
38p_Site_plan_Approval_for_8000_and_8014_Lincoln_Avenue__5120_Oakton_Street__and_8013_.docx

for the tenants and the public. Commissioners questioned how the motor courtyard
would operate and how traffic backups on Oakton Street would be handled. The
petitioner’s traffic consultant addressed each of the questions. Commissioners also
questioned the operation of the building’s loading facilities as the staff report indicated
that the operation of the facilities would need to be monitored after the construction of
the building to address any possible operating issues.
Additional analysis about this case and discussion can be found in the attached Staff
Report and meeting minutes.


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. Two Downtown
business owners spoke regarding the case. One owner supported the development and
stated that its operation would benefit his business and others in the Downtown. The
other owner questioned the operation of the motor court, the new driveway entrance
near the Lincoln/Oakton intersection, and the proposed indented parking on Oakton
Street. He expressed concerns that these elements would cause traffic problems on
Oakton Street. A letter was also introduced into the record that congratulated the
Village on revitalizing the Downtown, but, recommended that the new building be
limited to 6 stories.


APPEARANCE COMMISION
At its October 25, 2017, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
building, landscaping, and signage (case 2017-064A), as presented. Alternatives
presented at the meeting that do not warrant a return to a future Appearance
Commission meeting, include:
 1. A future Phase II, where the courtyard converts to a pedestrian-only amenity
 and additional on-street parking spaces are provided along Oakton.
 2. Support relief to not require continuous curbing in the courtyard to separate
 motor vehicles and pedestrians. Alternative options may include a change in
 pavement color separating the vehicle and pedestrian areas, large planters,
 and/or bollards.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 7 ayes and 0 nays with 2 members
absent, that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval for a planned development
that includes a mixed-use building over 45’ in height, an attached parking garage
structure with ground floor retail, and storm water detention be APPROVED based

upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact subject to the attached recommended
conditions.
The Plan Commission further recommends that relief be granted from the following
sections of the Village Code:
 1. §118-212(b)(2) to provide an interior ramp grade of 12% rather than the
 required 10% maximum in a portion of the garage.
 2. §118-212(i)(9) to provide visual cues to indicate barriers between pedestrian
 and vehicle zones within the interior of an off-street area rather than
 continuous curbing.
 3. §118-212(a)(1) to allow 17’ stall depths at parking spaces encroached upon
 by structural columns rather than the required 18’ as shown on the approved
 floor plans for the parking garage.
 4. §90-36 to allow the extension of the private courtyard paving materials into
 the public right-of-way.

 Most of the south and east portions of the site is vacant land, while most of the
 north and west portions of the site is public parking.
 Overhead utilities currently serve the site with an aerial transformer facility midway
 across the east-west dimension on the north side of the site.
 Underground stormwater facilities are under the south western existing parking lot.
 There is some residual soil contamination from a previous dry cleaning use.
 The site is directly served by the CTA 97 Skokie, Pace 210 Lincoln Avenue, and Pace
 226 Oakton Street buses.


PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting site plan approval for a mixed-use building, an attached
parking garage structure with ground floor retail, and storm water detention, plus relief
from §118-212(b) (2) to provide an interior ramp grade of 12% rather than the
required 10% maximum in a portion of the garage, §118-212(i)(9) to provide visual
cues to indicate barriers between pedestrian and vehicle zones within the interior of an
off-street area rather than continuous curbing, and §118-212(a)(1) to allow 17’ stall
depths at parking spaces encroached upon by structural columns rather than the
required 18’, and any additional relief that may be discovered during the review of this
case.
Since the plan was initially submitted, it was determined that the garage could be built
significantly more efficiently with a slightly larger footprint, lower height, and lower
cost. This caused the property boundary to change and is the reason for the change in
the original meeting date.
The building will contain 153 apartments, 15,310 ft2 of modern retail space, and a 265
space parking garage. The parking in the garage replaces the 33 public parking spaces
lost and adds 40 more public parking spaces, totaling 73. The project will also add 4 on-
street parking spaces, with an option to add up to 3 additional spaces, to Oakton
Street. The height to the top of the highest building parapet, over the partial 12th floor,
is 136’-6”; the height of the parapet of the garage is 63’-6”; the height of the first floor
from grade to the top of the second floor is 15’. Residential bicycle parking is also
provided in the garage for 29 bikes.
The proposal also includes a landscaped courtyard that will include outdoor dining and
other seating and the ability for vehicles to enter the space to drop-off or pick-up
people near the residential entrance or at the retail space.
The rental residences will include 16 studios, 63 one-bedroom, 68 two-bedroom, and 6
three-bedroom units. The 12th floor will have storage lockers, fitness and yoga studio,

coffee bar, lounge, game room, party room, and multiple landscaped outdoor areas for
the use of the tenants.
The streetscaping will be generally consistent with the Village standards for Downtown.
However, the applicant would like to extend the paving materials from the courtyard
into the public right-of-way.

STAFF ANALYSIS
All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this
case. The Forestry, Engineering, Fire Prevention, and Planning Divisions provided
comments on the subject case.
 Forestry Division
 The Forestry Division generally supports the plan, but does have some concerns
 about some plant selections and forms. Specific changes are in the recommended
 conditions.
 Engineering Division
 In verbal comments, the Engineering Division stated its approval of the proposed
 development as it will meet parking requirements and it will not adversely impact
 the adjacent roadway system. The Village parking requirement is met with 235
 parking spaces required (after adjustment/credits) and 265 provided as shown in
 the attached parking analysis. The traffic generated by the commercial and
 residential uses in the building will not adversely affect the adjacent roadway system
 based on a review of the parking and traffic analysis prepared by Gewalt Hamilton
 Associates.

 Access to the development is well planned with a pickup and drop-off motor court
 on Oakton Street and a parking garage entrance on Floral Street. Per Gewalt
 Hamilton Associates memo summarizing the motor court stacking and queueing
 study, the motor court is adequate to accommodate the anticipated queue length
 and circulation for the proposed residential and commercial uses. However, storage
 for 2 cars should be provided for the loading area serving the commercial and
 residential uses within the proposed motor court in order to allow adequate
 circulation within the motor court. Further, to ensure that vehicles can adequately
 circulate within the motor court area, the apron (brick area) around the center
 sculpture and outer edges of the motor court area should remain mountable or
 flush, as is currently proposed. Exiting traffic should have stop control and a no left
 turn sign (R3-2) should be added on the right hand side of exiting traffic out of the
 motor court. If issues arise from exiting traffic turning onto east bound Oakton
 occur, delineators along Oakton Street may be required to be installed, or
 consideration given to closing the motor court. Trees or shrubbery located near the
 exit/entrance of motor court should not create a sight obstruction or create a safety
 hazard for pedestrians walking on the sidewalk.

 Access to the parking garage is well served by Floral Avenue that has a traffic signal
 at Oakton Street. The garage also has a secondary exit north to the Village parking
 lot. Per Gewalt Hamilton Associates traffic study, most traffic will enter and leave the
 garage from the south to Oakton Street. In agreement with the traffic impact study
 key findings, impact to nearby intersections due to traffic generated from this
 development will be minimal. Further, street or intersection improvements will not
 be necessary to specifically accommodate the 8000 north traffic.

 The proposed loading docks for the development are well located and should serve
 the building well. Based on a Gewalt Hamilton Associates study the dock will
 accommodate small and medium size semi-trucks with some possible encroachment
 on several Village parking spaces. A field test should take place after the building
 and service docks are completed. Auto Turn tends to show larger turning paths than
 many semi drivers need. Larger semi deliveries may need to occur along the on-
 street spaces on Oakton during non-busy hours.

 The Civil Engineering Division requested that a stormwater narrative report be
 prepared to include provisions for stormwater detention. A sewer permit from
 MWRD is required and any access and/or utility work in Lincoln Ave., which is A
 State ROW, is to require an IDOT permit.

 Fire Prevention Bureau
 The Fire Prevention Bureau would like to make the petitioner aware that the
 following will be required of this development:
 1. A fire alarm.
 2. A direct connect/monitoring of alarm to Skokie Dispatch.
 3. An addressable annunciator panel at the main entrance.
 4. A Knox box, with functioning keys in it, at the main entrance.
 5. The building (excluding the parking garage) must be sprinklered.
 6. CO detectors.
 7. In the residential building, there must be an area of refuge with two way
 communication.
 8. Parking garage must have a Class I standpipe.
 9. Illuminated exits throughout.
 10. Strobes in the restrooms of the common hallways.
 11. Any restaurant in one of the business occupancies must have a Hood and
 Duct suppression system in their kitchen.
 12. Proper mounted portable extinguishers throughout.

 16 of 29
 13. Proper emergency lighting and lighted exits per code throughout.
 14. A 2 hour rated separation between the parking garage and
 residential/business property.


 Planning Division
 Planning strongly supports the proposed development, with minor changes, which
 meets many of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The buildings are pedestrian
 oriented, provide modern retail and restaurant space, increase the diversity of
 housing, increase the amount of shared public parking for Downtown, and preserve
 stormwater control facilities under the site that manage stormwater for the
 surrounding neighborhood.
 The neighborhood already includes other mixed-use buildings of varying heights.
 Although the building is taller than most buildings in the area, it is also shorter than
 St. Peter Catholic Church’s steeple to the north of the site and is below the
 maximum height for the zoning district of 156 feet. The garage height steps down
 nearer to shorter buildings to the west and north. Additional vehicle traffic can be
 accommodated by the existing road network. It is likely that vehicle use per
 commercial customer, resident and building visitor will be less than other areas of
 the Village due to close access to transit, employment, and goods and services. The
 shared parking facility reduces the total number of parking spaces needed for the
 whole neighborhood and provides a needed public amenity for the neighborhood.
 The entire parking garage will be owned by the Village for the near future with the
 revenue from the rental of the residential spaces used to fully finance the cost of the
 garage and its operation and maintenance. There are also 73 public parking spaces
 proposed that will remain for public use for downtown users in perpetuity, providing
 an important and long-term public benefit. In order to accommodate the required
 15’ first floor height, relief is needed from §118-212(b) (2) to provide an interior
 ramp grade of 12% just for the first ramp to the second floor, rather than the
 required 10% maximum. Staff is supportive of this relief. Staff is also supportive of
 the requested relief from §118-212(a)(1) to allow 17’ stall depths at parking spaces
 encroached upon by structural columns rather than the required 18’ stall depth.
 This relief would preserve the 24’ wide drive aisle for all garage users and is
 necessary only for a small number of parking spaces. The secondary garage door
 will need to be adjusted so that the 38 residential guest parking spaces are publicly
 accessible as required by Sec. 118-218 of the Village Code.
 The total area of the buildings that is under roof is 282,750 ft2. The final boundaries
 of the site are yet to be determined as of the writing of this report, but in a worst
 case scenario the smallest lot area is 44,930 ft2 resulting in a floor to area ratio
 (FAR) of 6.29. The maximum allowed in the district in 9.00. Based on the FAR
 schedule in the CX zoning district, the development is entitled to:
 Base FAR 2.50
VOSDOCS-#525749-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2017-
38p_Site_plan_Approval_for_8000_and_8014_Lincoln_Avenue__5120_Oakton_Street__and_8013_.docx


 17 of 29
 1st floor commercial use of 40.1% 1.00
 Public art 0.15
 Lot facing 2 or more streets 0.65
 Public plaza/outdoor amenity >1,000 ft2 0.90
 29 surplus public parking spaces 1.45
 TOTAL FAR ENTITLEMENT 6.65
 The project’s FAR requirement is met.
 Required bicycle parking is provided for the residential use; however, 4 bicycle
 parking spaces are needed for public use. Staff recommends that those spaces be
 located just north of the garage elevator with appropriate interior and exterior
 signage indicating their location.
 For public safety reasons, only the Village assigns addresses, and these assignments
 are based on specific regulations in the Village Code. Although the development
 may be called “8000 North”, 8000 Lincoln Avenue may only be used for the
 southeastern corner commercial space. The address of the residences will be 5104
 Oakton Street, the address of the parking garage will be 8007 Floral Avenue, and
 the addresses of the other commercial uses will be determined based on the
 location of each main entrance. The CX zoning district design guidelines require
 that the southeastern-most and southwestern-most retail user have doors located at
 the corner of each building.
 The developer is providing two options for the courtyard area. Option 1 provides for
 vehicle access into the courtyard with 4 on-street parking spaces on Oakton Street.
 Option 2 provides for only pedestrian access into the courtyard and 3 additional on-
 street parking spaces for curbside pick-up and drop-off. It is the developer’s
 intention to build Option 1. Option 2 may be constructed at a later date if that
 option becomes more preferred. For this reason, Staff supports relief from §118-
 212(i)(9) to provide visual cues to indicate barriers between pedestrian and vehicle
 zones rather than continuous curbing. This will allow the surface to be of a
 relatively uniform elevation so the space can then be easily converted to additional
 outdoor dining or amenity space. Changes in paving material, bollards, trees, and
 planters provide the necessary vehicle channelization.
 Oakton and Lincoln is a significant transfer point for 3 bus routes. Pace and CTA are
 at the end of a 2-year process to realign the bus routes in the area. Protected
 sidewalk access to a bus stop for the westbound 226 is needed until the 226 is
 realigned and this stop is able to be moved to the NE Corner of Oakton/Lincoln,
 which is not expected until 2019. At Pace’s request, Staff is requiring that the
 developer work with Pace and the Village on a feasible plan to avoid pedestrians
 walking in driving lanes, as happened on Dempster Street during Target
 construction. This will likely mean some form of sheltered walkway north of the
 curb on Oakton.
 There is an area north of the parking garage that is shown to be a potential pet
 walking area. Staff is supportive of the use of this land, but regardless of the
VOSDOCS-#525749-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2017-

 ultimate ownership of the land immediately north of the parking garage, the Village
 will not be responsible for maintenance of artificial turf on public property. The
 owners of the residential building will be responsible for the daily maintenance of
 the artificial turf, adjacent landscaping, and any pet waste.
 A Plan Commission subdivision case will also need to be filed with this development
 as soon as the land and building ownership strategy is finalized and a development
 agreement is executed. Details will also need to be finalized regarding final
 ownership, ROW dedication, and/or an access easement for sidewalks that are
 currently not in existing rights-of-way.
 It should be noted that the Village Board will also need to grant relief for some of
 the surface materials in the public right-of-way adjacent to the courtyard, which are
 different from the existing materials used on Lincoln Avenue and Oakton Street; this
 relief is beyond the prevue of the Plan Commission.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its October 25, 2017, meeting, the Appearance Commission approved the proposed
building, landscaping, and signage (case 2017-064A), as presented. Alternatives
presented at the meeting that do not warrant a return to a future Appearance
Commission meeting, include:
 1. An alternative parking garage massing, extending the structure footprint to the
 north of the subject site and reducing the overall structure height.
 2. A future Phase II, where the courtyard converts to a pedestrian-only amenity
 and additional on-street parking spaces are provided along Oakton.
 3. Support relief to not require continuous curbing in the courtyard to separate
 motor vehicles and pedestrians. Alternative options may include a change in
 pavement color separating the vehicle and pedestrian areas, large planters,
 and/or bollards may be used.



STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval for a planned
development that includes a mixed-use building over 45’ in height, an attached parking
garage structure with ground floor retail, and storm water detention be APPROVED
based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact subject to the recommended
conditions listed below.
Staff further recommends that relief be granted from the following sections of the
Village Code:
 1. §118-212(b) (2) to provide an interior ramp grade of 12% rather than the
 required 10% maximum in a portion of the garage.

 2. §118-212(i)(9) to provide visual cues to indicate barriers between pedestrian
 and vehicle zones within the interior of an off-street area rather than
 continuous curbing.
 3. §118-212(a)(1) to allow 17’ stall depths at parking spaces encroached upon
 by structural columns rather than the required 18’ as shown on the approved
 floor plans for the parking garage.


RECOMMENDED SITE PLAN APPROVAL CONDITIONS
 1. Prior to the adoption of the site plan approval by the Board of Trustees,
 the petitioners must revise the landscape plan to show:
 a. State Street maple and Red Maple do not perform well in tree pits.
 Suggested alternatives are Lacebark, Frontier, or Dynasty elms.

 on-street parking spaces. All other street trees must be shade trees,
 with a high-limbed selection adjacent to outdoor seating along Floral
 Avenue.
 c. Either remove raised planter for northern-most street tree along
 Lincoln Avenue and replace with tree grate or move planter out of 2’
 paver strip to reduce conflicts with car doors from adjacent parking
 space.
 d. Remove southernmost street tree along Lincoln Avenue from raised
 planter to avoid sight-line conflict with traffic signal.
 e. Remove southernmost street tree along Floral Avenue and remaining
 tree adjacent to seating.
 f. Green Velvet boxwood is not salt tolerant for streetscaping planters.
 Suggested alternative is Grow-Low sumac.
 g. Broadmoor juniper is not salt tolerant for streetscaping planters.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
 Date: December 7, 2017

A motion was made by Commissioner S. Berman and seconded by Commissioner Marek to
approve the minutes of the November 16, 2017 meeting.

Case Description

2017-38P – Site Plan Approval: 8000 and 8014 Lincoln Avenue, 5120
 Oakton Street, and 8013 Floral Avenue
The Village of Skokie, on behalf of 8000 North, LLC, requests site plan approval for a
planned development in a CX Core Mixed-Use zoning district that includes a mixed-use
building, an attached parking garage structure with ground floor retail, and storm water
detention, plus relief from §118-212(b)(2) to provide an interior ramp grade of 12% rather
than the required 10% maximum in a portion of the garage, §118-212(i)(9) to provide
visual cues to indicate barriers between pedestrian and vehicle zones within the interior of
an off-street area rather than continuous curbing, and §118-212(a)(1) to allow 17’ stall
depths at parking spaces encroached upon by structural columns rather than the required

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was properly posted, advertised and delivered to property owners in the area
as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was reviewed by Corporation Counsel and
determined to be proper and correct.

Bernard Citron, attorney from Thompson and Coburn, presented the case. Norm
Hassinger, from 8000 North LLC, introduced the development team. Lucien LaGrange and
My-Nga Lam, architects, Pamela Self, landscape architect, and Bill Grieve, transportation
consultant from Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc., all gave testimony.

A residential building containing 153 rental units with ground floor retail space and a 265-
space parking garage is being proposed for the corners of Lincoln Avenue, Oakton Street &
Floral Avenue. There will be 29 bicycle parking spaces and 73 public parking spaces within
the garage along with a landscaped courtyard that will include outdoor dining and other
available seating. The residential units range between studio, one, two, and three
bedrooms. There also will be storage lockers, a fitness and yoga studio, a coffee bar,
lounge, game room and party room. There will be multiple landscaped outdoor areas for
the use of the residents.

Mr. Citron stated that this project is just what the 2020 Comprehensive Plan called for and
was designed specifically for this CX zoned property. This is a cornerstone for

redevelopment. The high caliber building is a destination place that will create foot traffic
bringing people to the area.

Lucien LaGrange stated that about a year ago they were selected from a group of
developers who submitted plans for this very important area. After he made a site visit, he
designed a place that people wanted to be at and that would have a tremendous impact on
the 2,000 people who crossed its path each day.

My-Nga Lam described the existing conditions and displayed diagrams of the thought
process that resulted in the submittal. There will be a 12-story, U-shaped residential
building and a 5-story parking structure on the west side with a center courtyard.
Restaurants, cafes, sandwich shops, and other retail components will fill in the ground floor
from Oakton & Lincoln to Oakton & Floral. The garage will be accessed via overhead doors
on Floral Avenue as well as a pedestrian walkway from the courtyard. In warmer weather,
there can be outside activities taking place around a center sculpture in the courtyard.

Bill Grieve talked of the “heart of downtown” intersection. The area is accessed by both
pedestrian and vehicular modes. There are bus routes within steps of the site and a train
station ½ mile away. The area employs 100s of people; Village Hall, Skokie Library, and
IS+TP, just to name a few, and many non-auto trips will be generated. This development
will have a minor impact at this busy intersection. The proposed 4 on-street parking spaces
on Oakton Street will be available as well and can be possibly used as valet spaces for the
restaurants, if needed.

Pamela Self stated that 30% of the site is devoted to green space. She spoke of the small
“park-like” area on the north side on Floral Avenue, the landscaped courtyard and the
outdoor spaces on the roof deck that includes a variety of creative seating arrangements
among the many available amenities. At the corner of Lincoln & Oakton, there will be a
screened viewing deck on the roof.

A commissioner asked if the elevator shaft for the parking garage would be enclosed. It
was noted that it is an open area.

Another commissioner asked the proximity to existing retail. Staff answered that there is a
1-ft gap between the proposed building and Cigar King. The party wall will be finished off
and filled in so that it will look continuous.

Another commissioner asked why there wasn’t a vehicle entrance to the garage through the
motor court. The traffic engineer stated that the motor court (courtyard) was mainly for
pick-up and drop-off for pedestrians and they don’t want to have a rush of cars coming and
going. The primary vehicular entrance for the site will be at Floral Avenue and Oakton
Street. The traffic light was put in several years ago with the future redevelopment of the
Desiree site in mind.

Staff requested that the report be entered into the record as presented. They are very
pleased with the proposal. This is an exciting addition to downtown and will stimulate
other downtown redevelopment.

There was not much to add to the petitioner’s excellent presentation. He spoke of the 3
areas of relief that are needed in order for this project to be built: the interior garage ramp
of 12% instead of 10%, the visual cues in the courtyard that would separate pedestrian
and vehicle zones, and the 17’ parking stall depths in some areas of the garage because of
the structural columns.

The Appearance Commission unanimously approved the proposal at the October 25, 2017
meeting.

A commissioner wanted confirmation that the Village will finance and own the parking
garage and asked if parking spaces will be rented on a space by space basis or will spaces
be tied to a unit. He also asked if the residential garage spaces will be separated from the
visitor and commercial spaces. Staff answered that the Village will own the parking garage
for a time period but there will always be available public spaces no matter who owns the
garage. The itemization of parking spaces will be the responsibility of the developer.

Another commissioner asked if there will be a fee for parking in the garage. Staff answered
that public parking will be free. The commissioner also asked about semi-trucks making
deliveries to the site. Staff responded that the loading will need to be reviewed at the time
the building is completed – maybe deliveries will need to take place at certain times.

Another commissioner asked about other developer submissions and if they were condos or
apartments. Staff answered that there was only 1 condo building proposal out of the group
and this proposal was far superior to the others. It had the most retail spaces and
residential units. The Village Board selected this development in an executive session.

Another commissioner asked if there were any market studies done to see if luxury
apartments are in demand. Staff stated that each developer did its own and the village did
one as well.

Randy Miles, owner of Village Inn restaurant and member of numerous downtown
committees commented that, in the past, the Village has always paid attention to
eliminating curb cuts but nothing was written in the staff report about it. He asked for the
distance from the curb cut for the courtyard to the Lincoln/Oakton intersection; it seems
too close. He also mentioned the traffic congestion when trying to parallel park in the 4 on-
street parking spaces on Oakton Street.

Mr. Citron, after conferring with the architects, stated that the distance from the
intersection was 75 feet. Mr. Grieve stated that they were very comfortable with the
surrounding traffic activities.

An audience member started to speak from her seat but when told by the chairman to
come to the podium so that her comments could be put on the record, she refused.

Scott Holtz, president of the Downtown Skokie Alliance and owner of North Branch Yoga,
voiced his support for the project.

An emailed memo from Maureen McCoy was read into the record. She is concerned that
Skokie will lose the “village” vibe if the building was allowed to go any higher than 6 stories.

In closing, Mr. Citron said that they were very proud to be chosen by the Village of Skokie
and worked hard with Village staff. This project is right in line with the Village’s
Comprehensive Plan. The building height is less than the maximum, the unit count is also
less and the garage height was brought down as well so that it fits in with the Floral
Avenue buildings. This housing type is usually found in a city’s downtown (like Evanston or
Arlington Heights). There is higher density and an attraction targeting younger people.
This development will not cause negative impacts only positive ones.

Recommendations and Voting

A motion was made to approve the staff report for site plan approval for a planned
development in a CX Core Mixed-Use zoning district that includes a mixed-use building, an
attached parking garage structure with ground floor retail, and storm water detention, plus
relief for an interior ramp grade of 12%, to provided visual cues to indicate barriers
between pedestrian and vehicle zones within the interior of an off-street area, and to allow
17’ stall depths at parking spaces encroached upon by structural columns.

 Fair Housing be submitted to HUD prior to the submittal of the next 5-year Consolidated Plan. Consideration for
 a regional approach to an Assessment of Fair Housing, continues as the 20-entity regional
 assessment is no longer an option. Staff is currently looking into a more localized approach,
 working with a few neighboring entitlement entities for a smaller-scale effort. If this smaller group
 doesn't work out in early 2018, Skokie will work independently on the AFH, and meet HUD's
 deadline of August 2019. Funding will likely be distributed over a 2-year period.


Housing
15-2.1, 16-2.1, Home Funding is being used to continue the Village's program of repairing single-family homes. This Underway 45,000
and 17-2.1 Improvement program began in 1983. Low-income households (less than 50% of area median family income)

 and moderate-income households (50-80% of median family income) are eligible to receive loans
 up to $12,000 from local banks with the entire interest charges being subsidized through the
 program. Since May 1, 2017, the Home Improvement Program has provided grants to 8
 households and no-interest loans to zero households. In addition, 4 applications are pending and
 more applications are expected to be submitted prior to the end of the program year.

Public hearings for the 2018-19 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program will be
conducted at the Village Board meetings on Monday, December 18, 2017, Tuesday, January 2,
2018, and Monday, February 5, 2018. Public hearings are mandated by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations to receive public input and determine the
Village of Skokie's funding request. A subsequent public hearing in March will also be
necessary to approve the Annual Action Plan that serves as our formal application for funding.
The upcoming fiscal year will be the 44th consecutive year of CDBG funding, during which the
Village has benefited from over $21.6 million in total grant allocations.

The Village’s adopted five-year Consolidated Plan focuses on the CDBG national objectives of
