ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS REPORT 2015-14Z: Variation
Zoning Board of Appeals Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, January 19, 2016

To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Brian O’Donnell, Zoning Board of Appeals Chairperson
Case: 2015-14Z: 8052 Crawford – Front Yard Parking



ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS ANALYSIS
At its November 18, 2015 meeting, the Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed a request by
Dolphin Shaoul for a variation in order to maintain a driveway in the front yard that
does not lead to an approved off-street parking space, resulting in a front yard parking
space. The Board of Trustees must approve any request for parking spaces located in a
front yard in a residential district.
The owner hired someone to install the driveway so it would be easier for her mother to
walk into the house from a parking space. The driveway was installed without a permit
in the summer of 2015. The contractor who installed the driveway assured her he
obtained a building permit. After the Community Development Department staff cited
the owner for installing a driveway without a permit, she applied for a building permit
and was subsequently denied, because of its location in the front yard. The owner
stated the contractor has not returned her phone calls since the completion of the work.
The owner then hired AA Anthony, a licensed contractor in the Village of Skokie, to help
resolve the problem.
One Commissioner asked staff if there were parking options available to the petitioner
that would not require a variation. Staff provided a site plan that showed two parking
options for the site that would not require a variation. One option is to provide a
parking space accessible from the public alley adjacent to the site. The second option
is to provide a parking space accessible from Keeney St. Both options would allow a
handicapped ramp to be installed in the rear yard to access the rear door of the home if
climbing up steps is an issue. Staff also noted it would be safer to back out of or into a
parking space from Keeney Street, rather than Crawford Avenue, due to the lower
speed limit and limited traffic on Keeney Street.
Several commissioners mentioned that a parking space accessible from Keeney Street
appeared to be a better option for the owner. Another commissioner noted there was
no excuse for ignorance of the law and the owner’s hardship appears to be self-
imposed.
The Zoning Board then discussed each of the finding of fact in detail. After reviewing
the findings the Zoning Board felt it was clear that most of the findings were not met.
The Zoning Board also stressed that the decision was not a punishment for the work
that was completed, but was based on findings that must be proven for a variation to
be granted.

#488233 – Master Zoning Board of Appeals Report – 2015-14Z
that was completed, but was based on findings that must be proven for a variation to
be granted.
Staff recommended that the petitioner’s request to maintain a driveway in the front
yard that does not lead to an approved off-street parking space, resulting in a front
yard parking space be denied. Staff provided two different alternatives for the owner to
provide parking on site that would not require a variation.
Staff also highlighted the changes that would need to be made to the pad to meet
zoning requirements, if the variation was granted. The north 1.15 feet of driveway
would need to be removed because it is located in the Keeney Street right-of-way and
the driveway in the right-of-way would need to be modified so it is at least 8 feet away
from the north lot line.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning
Ordinance. No interested parties spoke at the hearing.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
This request is not required to obtain approval by the Appearance Commission.


ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Zoning Board of Appeals recommends, by a vote of 9 ayes 0 nays, that the
petitioner’s request to maintain a driveway in a front yard that does not lead to an
approved off-street parking space, resulting in a front yard parking space, be denied
based upon the attached Negative Findings of Fact.

Zoning Board of Appeals Negative Findings of Fact 2015-14Z: Variation
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, January 19, 2016


1 Consideration Limitation on the use of the property due to physical, topographical, and
 geologic features.
 Finding There are no limitations on the use of the property due to physical
 topographical or geologic features. The owner can install a legal parking
 pad in the rear yard.
2 Consideration The applicant can demonstrate that without a variance there can be no
 reasonable use of the property.
 Finding Without a variance there can be a reasonable use of the property. The
 owner can install a parking pad or a garage in the rear yard without a
 variation.
3 Consideration The granting of the variance is not based solely on economic reasons.
 Finding The variance request appears to be based on the desire to maintain a
 parking space that was already installed. Maintaining the existing parking
 space would save the owner money because they would not have to tear it
 out and install a new one somewhere else.
4 Consideration The necessity for the variance was not created by the property owner.
 Finding The necessity for the variance was created by the property owner. The
 owner hired someone to install the driveway and parking pad. The owner
 did not apply for a permit until after the work was completed and a warning
 letter was issued.
5 Consideration The variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to allow
 reasonable use of the property.
 Finding The requested variance is not the minimum necessary to allow for
 reasonable use of the property. The owner can legally install a parking pad
 or garage in the rear yard. No variations would be necessary if the owner
 installed a parking pad or garage in the rear yard.
6 Consideration The granting of the variance will not be injurious to the public health,
 safety, or welfare.
 Finding If the parking pad was installed off the alley or Keeney Street accessing the
 space would most likely be safer than accessing a parking space from
 Crawford Avenue, an arterial. There is less traffic on Keeney Street and a
 lower speed limit. The car appears to have been backed in on most
 occasions. That requires the car to be stopped on Crawford Avenue, an
 arterial, and backed in.

 characteristics generally not applicable to similarly situated properties

 Finding The lot is not uniquely shaped and it similar to other corner lots in the area.

Case Description

2015-14Z – 8052 Crawford Avenue

Dolphin Shaoul requests a variance in order to maintain a driveway in a front
yard that does not lead to an approved off-street parking space (resulting in a
front yard parking space), as regulated by Sections 118-217(c)(2)(c) and 118-
217(c)(2)(d) of the Zoning Chapter of the Skokie Village Code in an R2 Single-
Family district.

PIN: 10-22-431-008-0000

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was properly posted, advertised and delivered to property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. After reviewing
the notification list, it was determined that notice was proper and correct.

The chairman advised all that in this case, the Zoning Board of Appeals is a
recommending body to the Village Trustees and the final decision will be
determined at a future meeting of the Village Board.

Dolphin Shaoul, property owner and Anthony Yoseph, contractor from AA-
Anthony’s Inc., presented the case. As stated in her written statement, she hired
a concrete company to install a driveway on the side of her house to make it
easier for her 93-year old mother to walk from the street to the house.
Unfortunately, the driveway was put in without a permit and does not follow
code regulations. Ms. Shaoul has not been successful in contacting the concrete
company she hired. She applied for a permit after the fact and was denied.
Staff advised her that the only way to maintain the parking space would be to
appear before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance. She has hired
another contractor, AA Anthony, to fix the problem.

In their written comments, the Engineering Division stated that the existing
driveway is not set back the necessary 8 feet per the Zoning Chapter. Before the
Village Board meeting, regardless of the outcome of the ZBA hearing, the
petitioner must submit a revised plan showing the 8-foot setback from the north
#485982 Case 2015-14Z
lot line and the removal of the north 1.15 feet of the driveway because it is
located in the Keeney Street right-of-way and not on the petitioner’s property.

One ZBA member asked staff if there were any alternatives for the petitioner
without a variance. Staff stated that the existing driveway location on Crawford
Avenue is dangerous because Crawford Avenue is an arterial street having a high
volume of traffic traveling at increased speeds. To utilize the driveway, one
would either have to stop on Crawford Avenue to back into the driveway or back
out onto Crawford Avenue when leaving the driveway.

Included in staffs’ report are 2 different options that do not require a variation;
Option 1 is putting a parking pad in the rear yard off the alley, or Option 2,
putting it in from Keeney Street. Backing into a parking space off the alley or off
of Keeney Street is much safer than Crawford Avenue. If needed, an
accessibility ramp can be installed by right. Another attachment depicts the
areas that must be cut away from the existing driveway. Mr. Yoseph is willing
to cut the driveway so that it can remain.

Several ZBA members advised the petitioner that putting the driveway off of
Keeney Street seemed like the best option.

The chairman also commented that without a permit from Cook County for a
right-of-way curb cut, the project cannot move forward. Mr. Yoseph stated that
approval from Cook County was obtained recently.

Another ZBA member clarified that if corrections are made to the existing
driveway, a variance is still required as it is still a front yard parking space.

The chairman analyzed whether the 7 considerations for positive findings of fact
were met. Based on his review, most have not been fulfilled. Another ZBA
member added that the board has guidelines that they must follow when
rendering their decision. The decision they make is not a punishment for what
she did; however, they don’t have much of a choice.

Mr. Yoseph answered that the petitioner is out so much money; the original
amount for the work done, paying for a building permit, a new survey and his
time to fix the problem as well.

Another ZBA member asked the petitioner how she could pay someone $3,000 in
cash without knowing who they were, without knowing how to contact them and
not getting a receipt. There is no excuse for ignorance of the law. The problem
was brought on by the petitioner herself.



#485982 Case 2015-14Z
Recommendation and Voting

A recommendation of denial was made for a variance to maintain a driveway in a
front yard that does not lead to an approved off-street parking space. The
chairman again stated that final disposition of this case will be made at a future
Village Board meeting. The vote was unanimous.

#488233 – Master Zoning Board of Appeals Report – 2015-14Z
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Comments
were received from the Civil Engineering Division.

Civil Engineering Division

Please see the attached memorandum from the Engineering Division. The Community
Development Department explains, in more detail, the Engineering Division comments.

Community Development Department

The petitioner is requesting a variation in order to maintain a driveway in the front yard
that does not lead to an approved off-street parking space, resulting in a front yard
parking space. The petitioner installed the driveway without obtaining a permit.

The petitioner can install a parking pad in the rear yard without a variation. Staff has
prepared a site plan that shows two legal parking options in the rear yard. Please see
attachment #3. Option 1 shows a parking space that is accessible from the public alley.
Option 2 shows a parking space accessible from Keeney Street. Both options on
attachment 3 do not require a variation.

The driveway location is also potentially dangerous because of its location on Crawford
Avenue. Staff has visited the several times and each time a vehicle was parked on the
driveway the front end of the vehicle faced Crawford Avenue. This means a vehicle
stopped on Crawford Avenue and backed into the parking space. Crawford Avenue is
an arterial street that has a high volume of traffic. Backing into a parking space off the
alley or off of Keeney Street is much safer than Crawford Avenue.

The existing driveway was poured into the Keeney Street right-of-way and is not
setback the minimum 8 feet as required by the Zoning Chapter. If the petitioner
appears before the Village Board, regardless of the recommendation by the Zoning
Board of Appeals, she will need to submit a revised plan to staff one month prior to the
Village Board meeting. The revised plan will need to reference the Engineering
Division’s comments. The revised plan must include the 8-foot driveway setback from
the north lot line and removal of the north 1.15-foot of the driveway/parking pad
because it is located in the Keeney Street right-of-way and not on the petitioner’s
property.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to maintain a parking space in the front
yard be denied because the petitioner’s request is not consistent with the proposed
findings of fact.

To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2015-48P: Street Vacation
 Long Avenue

 Related Case – 2015-49P: Site Plan Approval

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its December 17, 2015 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of the
Village of Skokie for the vacation of the remaining portion of Long Avenue between
Woods Drive and Golf Road in an OR Office Research district. At the present time, the
street is unimproved and is covered by grass. The street also contains trees, crushed
stone and benches that are part of a park area associated with the adjacent Illinois
Holocaust Museum & Education Center. A 12-inch water main, an abandoned 8-inch
water main, and a 30-inch combined sewer main run through the subject site as well.
The Village intends to vacate the street and combine it with the existing museum
property to the east. In companion case 2015-49P, the Village and the Forest Preserve
District of Cook County are petitioning on behalf of the museum to amend the existing
site plan approval for the museum campus. A portion of a new parking lot that will be
constructed to the west of Long Avenue will fall within the part of the street that is
proposed to be vacated.
A 16.50 foot-wide by 60 foot-long section of Long Avenue was vacated to the south and
east of the subject site in conjunction with the original site plan approval for the
museum (cases 2002-38P and 2002-41P). The museum subsequently requested and
received approval for an amendment to their site plan approval in 2005 which, among
other changes, resulted in the expansion of the museum campus onto a portion of the
subject site.

The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the street
vacation subject to conditions.


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. No interested parties
spoke regarding the case.
In response to a commissioner who questioned the purpose of the proposed street
vacation, staff responded that the new bus parking lot for the Holocaust Museum was

being proposed for the land to the south of Woods Drive to the west of the museum
and would occupy a portion of the vacated street.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 7 ayes and 0 nays, with 2 members
absent, that the petitioner’s request for the vacation of the remaining portion of Long
Avenue between Woods Drive and Golf Road in an OR Office Research district be
APPROVED, subject to the recommended conditions listed below.

 Date: December 17, 2015

A motion was made by Plan Commissioner Mitchell and seconded by Commissioner
S. Berman to approve the minutes of the December 3, 2015 meeting. All voted aye.

Case Description

2015-48P – Street Vacation: Long Avenue
The Village of Skokie requests to vacate the remaining portion of Long Avenue
between Woods Drive and Golf Road.


Commissioner Morita requested to be excused from the meeting.


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 determined by Corporation Counsel
that notices were proper.


Staff requested that the report be accepted into the record as presented. This case is
purely a technical matter to clean up the zoning map. There are underlying utilities
running through the site. The Village of Skokie still owns the property to the east of the
subject site which is associated with the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education
Center. The Village does not have any plans to ever make this portion of Long Avenue
a public street but rather intends to vacate the street and combine the land with the
existing museum. In a related case, 2015-49P, a new bus parking lot will be
constructed to the west of Long Avenue and a portion of vacated Long Avenue will fall
within that lot. The new lot will help with overflow parking for events.

There were no questions from the commissioners.


Recommendation and Voting

A motion was made to grant approval for the street vacation of Long Avenue between
Woods Drive and Golf Road.

Case: 2015-49P: Site Plan Approval
 Related Case: 2015-48P Street Vacation: Long Avenue

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its December 17, 2015, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s
request, on behalf of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, for an
amendment to the existing site plan approvals, V.O. 03-6-Z-3186 and V.O. 05-12-Z-3403,
to construct a new 15 space bus/54 space automobile parking lot and add a new ground
sign in an OR Office Research zoning district, plus relief from §82-28(c)(2)a. to allow a
ground sign with a gross surface area in excess of 100 ft2 per face, any other relief
discovered during the review of this case. In 2003, site plan approval was granted to
construct a Holocaust Museum & Education Center at 9603 Woods Drive with a parking lot
on Forest Preserve property at 9626 Woods Drive. The current request is to reconstruct
and reconfigure the deteriorating gravel parking lot at 9626 Woods Drive to modify the
existing 101 auto spaces and 6 bus spaces with 127 auto spaces, no bus spaces, and a
permeable pavement system. The bus parking will be moved south to a proposed new lot
on vacant land between Woods Drive and Golf Road. The proposed lot will provide parking
for 15 buses or 54 auto spaces when the lot is not needed for buses. The new lot will
make it easier and safer to bring children from buses to the museum building without
crossing Woods Drive. Both lots will be fully developed to Village standards.

The museum is also requesting approval of a ground sign facing Golf Road. This sign will
be located along the south side of the proposed parking lot on the south side of Woods
Drive. The sign will also serve as a guard rail for the parking lot that has a substantial grade
difference from its surface down to Golf Road. The sign will consist of 8” high letters on a
beam that will be 100 feet long spelling out Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center.
The original relief requested is not necessary because the very long tin sign is within the
Sign chapter’s size limits. However, relief will be required from §82-28.(c)(1) that only
allows one ground sign at any site. There is already a museum sign located to the east of
the proposed sign facing south toward Golf Road.

The petitioner questioned Condition #2 c. which recommends moving the handicap spaces from
the existing lot on the west side of Woods Drive to the east side. The public lot also serves the
Forest Preserve as well as the museum and accessible parking will be moved further away from
Forest Preserve patrons. The Plan Commission agreed to modify Condition #2, striking
subsection c.

The Plan Commission concurred with the staff recommendation to grant the requested site
plan approval ordinance amendment and to grant relief for the second requested ground
sign facing Golf Road. There were no questions from commissioners.

the existing site plan to construct a new bus/automobile parking lot and add a new
ground sign in an OR Office Research zoning district be APPROVED subject to the
attached Plan Commission Positive Findings of Fact and Plan Commission
Recommended Conditions. The Plan Commission further recommends that Ordinances
05-12-Z-3403 and 03-6-Z-3186 be repealed and that all applicable conditions be
incorporated into the new ordinance and that the following new and existing relief be
provided:
Recommended relief:
 a. Section 82-28.(c)(1) to allow two ground signs on the site.
 b. Section 10.5.3 to allow a 20-foot front yard setback;
 c. Section 10.5.4 to allow a 35-foot side yard setback;
 d. Section 10.5.5 to allow a 30-foot rear yard setback;
 e. Section 10.5.11 to allow parking in a required yard per the final approved site
 plan; and

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The Village of Skokie and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, on behalf of the
Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center request an amendment to the existing site
plan approvals, V.O. 03-6-Z-3186 and V.O. 05-12-Z-3403, to construct a new 15 space
bus/54 space automobile parking lot and add a new ground sign in an OR Office Research
zoning district, plus relief from §82-28(c)(2)a. to allow a ground sign with a gross surface
area in excess of 100 ft2 per face, any other relief discovered during the review of this
case. In 2003, site plan approval was granted to construct a Holocaust Museum &
Education Center at 9603 Woods Drive with a parking lot on Forest Preserve property at
9626 Woods Drive. The current request is to reconstruct and reconfigure the deteriorating
gravel parking lot at 9626 Woods Drive to modify the existing 101 auto spaces and 6 bus
spaces with 127 auto spaces, no bus spaces, and a permeable pavement system. The bus
parking will be moved south to a proposed new lot on vacant land between Woods Drive
and Golf Road. The proposed lot will provide parking for 15 buses or 54 auto spaces when
the lot is not needed for buses. The new lot will make it easier and safer to bring children
from buses to the museum building without crossing Woods Drive. Both lots will be fully
developed to Village standards.
The museum is also requesting approval of a ground sign facing Golf Road. This sign will
be located along the south side of the proposed parking lot on the south side of Woods
Drive. The sign will also serve as a guard rail for the parking lot that has substantial grade
difference from its surface down to Golf Road. The sign will consist of 8” high letters on a
beam that will be 100 feet long spelling out Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center.
The original relief requested is not necessary because the very long tin sign is within the
Sign chapter’s size limits. However, relief will be required from §82-28.(c)(1) that only
allows one ground sign at any site. There is already a museum sign located to the east of
the proposed sign facing south toward Golf Road.
Additional information on the proposed request for site plan approval is contained in the
attached Statement of Effect, dated November 3, 2015.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent by the Planning Division to all pertinent
departments. Staff comments on the submitted plans were received from the
Engineering Division. All other departments returned the sheets with no comments.


Engineering Division
The Engineering Division reviewed the case and is generally supportive of the site plan
as submitted. Engineering made several comments regarding the parking lot and minor
modifications to the site plan.
Although not part of the current request, The Village Water and Sewer Superintendent
requests that a 16.50 foot-wide by 60 foot-long easement be established to protect the
underground utilities that run through the portion of Long Avenue that was previously

vacated in 2004 and is currently part of the Holocaust Museum property. No utility
easement was created when the street was vacated.

Planning Division
The Planning Division is also supportive of the petitioner’s request. The proposed new
parking lot and proposed renovation/expansion of the existing lot will provide additional
parking needed for the museum. Moving the bus parking to the new lot south of
Woods Drive will significantly improve safety for bus passengers that previously needed
to cross Woods Drive or be dropped off in the street to get to the museum.
Staff is also supportive of granting relief to allow two ground signs on the site. The
proposed sign is a creative way of providing an esthetically pleasing guard rail for the
parking lot. The additional sign will not have any adverse impact on the area.
The additional relief in the Staff recommendation was previously granted and should be
carried into the new site plan approval ordinance.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The proposed ground sign, requested sign relief for an additional sign and parking lot
landscaping were reviewed and approved at the December 9, 2015, Appearance
Commission meeting.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval for a planned
development at 9603 and 9626 Woods Drive be APPROVED subject to the attached
Positive Findings of Fact and Recommended Site Plan Approval Conditions listed below.
Staff further recommends that Ordinances 05-12-Z-3403 and 03-6-Z-3186 be repealed
and that all applicable conditions be incorporated into the new ordinance and that the
following new and existing relief be provided:
Recommended relief:
 a. Section 82-28.(c)(1) to allow two ground signs on the site.
 b. Section 10.5.3 to allow a 20-foot front yard setback;
 c. Section 10.5.4 to allow a 35-foot side yard setback;
 d. Section 10.5.5 to allow a 30-foot rear yard setback;
 e. Section 10.5.11 to allow parking in a required yard per the final approved site
 plan; and
 f. Section 11.11.9.1 to allow continuous curbing less than 6 feet from a street
 frontage on the parking lot west and north of Woods Drive and the lot south of
 Woods Drive per the final approved site plan.

Case Description

2015-49P – Site Plan Approval: 9603 and 9626 Woods Drive
The Village of Skokie and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, on behalf of
the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, request an amendment to the
existing site plan approvals, V.O. 03-6-Z-3186 and V O. 05-12-Z-3404, to construct a
new 15 space bus/54 space automobile parking lot and add a new ground sign in an
OR Office Research zoning district, plus relief from §82-28(c) (2)a. to allow a ground
sign with a gross surface area in excess of 100 square feet per face, and any other
relief discovered during the review of this case.

Commissioner Morita requested to be excused from the meeting.

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 determined by Corporation Counsel
that notices were proper.

Howard Swibel, Trustee of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center presented
the case. The museum worked very closely with the Village of Skokie and Cook County
Forest Preserve. They are proposing to reconstruct and enlarge the existing lot west of
the museum and build a new lot south of Woods Drive. The current museum parking
lot, situated on Forest Preserve land, is a public parking lot. The existing gravel lot is in
deteriorating condition with pot holes. The parking of 12 buses can clog the current
lot’s 6 bus slots. By removing the bus parking, replacing the surface with a permeable
pavement system, and reconstructing and reconfiguring the lot, 127 auto spaces will be
available. The bus parking will be moved south of Woods Drive to vacant land (case
2015-48P) which will provide parking for 15 buses or 54 additional autos. This new lot
will make it easier and safer for school children to access the museum without having to
cross Woods Drive.

The museum is also requesting a 100-foot identity sign along Golf Road. The area south
of Woods Drive is not a level grade and the steel beam sign with 8” letters will also act
as a guard rail. The very long sign is within Village sign requirements, however, relief is
needed to allow another ground sign at the site.

Staff requested the report be entered the record as written. The petitioner questioned
Condition #2 c. which recommends moving the handicap spaces from the existing lot on
the west side of Woods Drive to the east side. The public lot also serves the Forest
Preserve as well as the museum and accessible parking will be moved further away from
Forest Preserve patrons. Staff agreed to modify Condition #2, striking subsection c.
487705 Plan Commission meeting minutes 12/17/15
In closing, Mr. Swibel remarked that the Illinois Holocaust Museum is very grateful to
the Village of Skokie for all its support.

There were no questions from the commissioners.
