Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM October 15, 2012


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2012-38P: 8120 Lawndale Avenue
 Special Use Permit for truck and freight transportation services

 Related Case – 2012-37P: Parking Determination

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its September 20, 2012 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of American
Landmark Properties, Ltd., on behalf of Joey’s Movers & Trucking, Inc., for a special use
permit in order to operate a truck and freight transportation service at 8120 Lawndale
Avenue in an M2 Light Industry district. The moving company, which will continue to
be headquartered at 7333 Ridgeway Avenue, would use the site to operate a customer
service center, a small retail sales area, and an employee training facility.
A total of 3 parking spaces are required for the moving company (as determined in case
2012-37P) and 13 are required for the adjacent business, which shares the property
with the proposed use and is located at 8114 Lawndale Avenue. However, only 12
parking spaces are present at the subject site, leaving no surplus parking for the
petitioner’s use.
The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the special use
permit.

The petitioner clarified that the proposed site would be used strictly to answer phones,
store retail moving products that were ordered by customers and brought over to the
7333 Ridgeway location for purchase, and provide mover training. One employee
would be working at the site during hours of operation and other employees would be
dropped off for training.

In response to a question by a commissioner who asked why the moving company was
requesting to occupy additional space outside of its headquarters, the petitioner replied
that there was insufficient room at the 7333 Ridgeway building to provide space for
training because that building was used primarily for warehousing of customers’ goods.
Several commissioners questioned staff’s request to have the loading dock filled in to
provide required parking. This requirement was not provided in the staff report as
additional information was obtained after the report was written. Commissioners did
not agree that the loading dock should be filled in and asked if there was any other way
of adding parking spaces. They felt that there was no benefit to removing the loading
dock ramp in order to provide parking spaces for a tenant who would only be on site
several days a week.

Lawndale Avenue
 1 of 16
Other than filling in the loading dock at 8114 Lawndale and creating 3 parking spaces
or leaving the loading dock alone and allowing 1 vehicle to park in it, staff did not
believe that there was room to accommodate any additional parking spaces on the
subject site. The Plan Commission then discussed granting relief from the parking
deficit.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site and all occupants within the subject site as prescribed by
the Zoning Chapter.
One interested party spoke regarding this case and was concerned about the impact
the proposed use would have upon parking in the neighborhood. He explained that
there was already a shortage of on-street parking in the area and wanted to make sure
that enough parking was provided on the site so that the on-street parking was not
further impacted by the proposed use.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review was not required.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays, that the petitioner’s
request for a special use permit for truck and freight transportation services at 8120
Lawndale Avenue be APPROVED.

granted for 1 required parking space for the existing office use at 8114 Lawndale
Avenue. It should be noted that in the Staff Report, the Engineering Division only
recommended approval of the case if the parking shortage was addressed.
Furthermore, the Planning Division did not recommending giving 100% relief for the
required parking, but rather desired that the petitioner work with staff to reconfigure
the parking at the subject site to allow for the placement of additional spaces.

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-38P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, October 15, 2012


1 Consideration The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will
 not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals,
 or general welfare; and the proposed building or use at the
 particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a
 facility which is in the public interest and will contribute to the
 general welfare of the neighborhood or community.
 Findings The proposed special use will not be detrimental to the public
 welfare and safety and will provide a service which is in the public
 interest.
2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the
 character of the neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood, will not unduly aggravate traffic conditions, and will
 not unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.
 Findings The proposed use will not substantially change the character of the
 neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse affect upon adjacent
 property or property values in the neighborhood, will not unduly
 aggravate traffic conditions, and will not unduly burden essential
 public services.
3 Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and
 operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring
 property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.
 Findings The business will have minimal impact upon the rest of the subject
 site and the neighborhood because it will only be open 3 to 4 days a
 week and function primarily as a customer service office and
 employee training center with a limited number of employees
 working at the site. The use will be designed and operated so as to
 permit the use of neighboring property in accordance with
 applicable district regulations.

Lawndale Avenue
 6 of 16
4 Consideration The proposed use will not alter or be contrary to the primary
 purpose of the zoning district of the area in which it is proposed,
 when its effect is considered in conjunction with the cumulative
 effect of the number of various special uses of all types already in
 the adjacent area and in the Village as a whole.
 Findings The proposed use will not alter the primary purpose of the M2
 zoning district, which is to provide for manufacturing/service
 employment. A seafood wholesaler which is located a block to the
 south of the subject site was recently granted a special use permit
 for limited retail sales (case 2012-24P). The proposed use and its
 limited retail sales component will have no impact upon that
 business or any other businesses with special use permits in the
 adjacent area or in the Village as a whole.
5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the
 Official Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings The site is designated as manufacturing/service employment in the
 Comprehensive Plan and the proposed use conforms to the general
 intent of the plan.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit in order to operate a truck and freight
transportation service at 8120 Lawndale Avenue in an M2 Light Industry district. Joey’s
Movers & Trucking, Inc., intends to operate a customer service center, a small retail
sales area, and an employee training facility within the building. The business will
continue to also operate out of its current location at 7333 Ridgeway Avenue. The
retail sales area will contain moving supplies (such as boxes, tape, and wrapping
material) that will be available to the public for purchase. The business will be open
from 8 a.m to 6 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and by appointment on
Saturdays. A total of 2 to 3 employees will be working at this location.

The subject site presently has 10 parking spaces located at the south end of the
property, and there is room for additional 2 parking spaces behind 8120 Lawndale, and
the petitioner desires to utilize those spaces to park its moving trucks. There has been
a plan submitted to add additional parking spaces to the site that was never
implemented.

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 regarding the subject case.

 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division reviewed the petitioner’s request. Per the parking
 determination for the proposed truck and freight transportation service
 recommended by staff in case 2012-37P, a total of 3 vehicle parking spaces and 2
 bicycle spaces are required for the moving company. However, due to the large
 amount of office space in the other portion of the building, the existing tenant on
 the property requires up to 15 parking spaces (additional deductions may be
 warranted). There are only 12 parking spaces provided on the site, leaving no
 surplus parking for the petitioner’s use. Engineering will only recommend approval if
 the parking shortage is addressed.

 Planning Division
 The business will have minimal impact upon the rest of the subject site and the
 neighborhood because it will only be open 3 to 4 days a week and function primarily
 as a customer service office and employee training center with a limited number of
 employees working at the site.
 Staff is not recommending the 100% relief, which is necessary under the current
 parking conditions, but rather is recommending that the petitioner work with Staff to
 reconfigure the parking.
 The retail sales area of the moving company shall not exceed 10% of the total gross
 floor area, which is the maximum area allowed for limited retail uses in industrial
 districts per Section 118-171 of the Skokie Village Code.
 The property owner must restripe the faded vehicle parking spaces and patch all
 potholes in the south parking lot and stripe legal vehicle parking spaces behind 8120
 Lawndale. Moving trucks will be prohibited from parking on the site except to load,
 unload, or when used for training.
 Two bicycle parking spaces must be provided in compliance with Section 118-221 of
 the Skokie Village Code and the parking determination made in 2012-37P near the
 building entrances. The 4 existing lots of record that comprise the property must be
 consolidated into a single new tax parcel.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review is not required.

Case Description

2012-38P – Special Use Permit: 8120 Lawndale Avenue
American Landmark Properties, Ltd., on behalf of Joey’s Movers and Trucking, Inc.,
requests a special use permit for truck and freight transportation services in an M2 Light
Industry district and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal Notice was properly posted, advertised and delivered to all property owners in the
area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.


Joseph Brooks, representing his father, approached the podium. This site will be used
strictly to answer phones, store retail products that are ordered by the public and
brought over to their other location for purchase, and for mover training with 1
employee. The original location at 7333 Ridgeway is used for their moving company’s
daily operations.

Staff summarized the report. The business will have minimal impact on the rest of the
subject site and the neighborhood because of the limited hours. Staff is supportive but
the parking issue needs to be dealt with by the property owners. About 10-12 years
ago a plan was in place to add parking by filling in a loading dock. The plan was never
implemented. Warehouse space is being used as office space which has an increased
parking demand. There are 10 spaces along the south end but 16 spaces are needed.
Three spaces can be fit in on the dock but the property owner must follow through on
the original plan before any future occupancy takes place. Since the building has been
converted to office uses rather than industrial, the loading dock is no longer used.

Plan Commissioners were very confused that there was no mention in the staff report of
the ramp or utilizing a filled in loading dock for required parking. They are not in
agreement to do so and asked if there was any other way to add the spaces. It is not
beneficial to destroy the ramp for a tenant only on site for 2-3 days a week.

A Plan Commissioner wanted confirmation that American Landmark Properties has a
parking deficit regardless if the moving company goes in or not. The Community
Development director stated that parking is calculated based on square footage for an
#413902 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report 2012-38P: Special Use Permit for Truck and Freight Transportation Services at 8120
Lawndale Avenue
 15 of 16
office building and based on number of employees for a moving company. The
commissioner asked if relief can be given for this tenant only since the method of how
to meet the parking requirement is the responsibility of the property owner.


Steve Apple, neighbor at 8148 Lawndale spoke of parking concerns. The petitioners
want to locate in a very dense area. On street parking is tight with the many
driveways. Available spaces are few. Last year another moving company was his
adjacent neighbor and had to move out because they didn’t have enough parking on
site. In fact, his business only has enough parking for employees and none for clients.


The petitioner was asked if he was aware of the parking issues of the site prior to the
meeting which he wasn’t.

Recommendation and Voting

The Plan Commission moved to recommend approval of staff recommendations with
relief for 4 parking spaces for this occupant only. The motion was approved with a vote
of 9 ayes and 0 nays.

Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, November 5, 2012


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2012-44P: 5129 Dempster Street
 Special Use Permit for child day care not in a residence

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its October 4, 2012 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Property
Dynamics LLC VI, on behalf of Mark Feyman, Barry Benveniste, and Amber Grafman,
for a special use permit in order to operate a child day care not in a residence at 5125
Dempster Street in a B3 Business district. The child day care would initially
accommodate 10 children ranging in age from infant to 4 years old, be staffed by 4 to 5
employees, and operate Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The day
care would have the capacity to accommodate a maximum of 92 children and have a
total staff of 12 to 13 employees.
All vehicular drop-off and pick-up would take place at the rear of the building, where
the primary entrance to the day care would be located. The existing parking lot behind
the building would be reconfigured to allow for the installation of an approximately
1,000 square foot fenced outdoor play area.

The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the special use
permit.

In response to a question by a commissioner who asked how many students the
proposed day care would anticipate having in the first 3 months of operation, the
petitioner stated that she would expect to have 15 to 20 students.

In response to another question by a commissioner who asked if the proximity of the
liquor store on the north side of Dempster Street had any impact on the proposed
location of the day care, staff replied that, per the Illinois Liquor Control Act, child day
cares were not classified as schools and therefore could be located within 100 feet of an
establishment that sells liquor.

Another commissioner emphasized to the petitioners of the importance of directing all
people who would be dropping off and picking up children by car to do so in the back of
the building. The commissioner was concerned over the possibility of cars stopping on
Dempster Street to drop children off.

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-44P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, November 5, 2012


1 Consideration The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will
 not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals,
 or general welfare; and the proposed building or use at the
 particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a
 facility which is in the public interest and will contribute to the
 general welfare of the neighborhood or community.
 Findings The day care will provide a beneficial service to families in the
 community, enhance the appearance of a building that has been
 vacant for over 6 years, and add vitality to the West Dempster
 district.
2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the
 character of the neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood, will not unduly aggravate traffic conditions, and will
 not unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.
 Findings The proposed use will not have an adverse impact on other
 businesses or aggravate traffic in the area because most activity will
 take place only in the early mornings and early evenings, when
 children are dropped off and picked up. The use will not unduly
 burden essential public services or services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare.
3 Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and
 operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring
 property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.
 Findings The use will generate minimal additional traffic and parking demand
 and will not negatively impact neighboring business and residential
 uses. The use will be designed and operated so as to permit the
 use of neighboring property in accordance with applicable district
 regulations.

Dempster Street
 5 of 17
4 Consideration The proposed use will not alter or be contrary to the primary
 purpose of the zoning district of the area in which it is proposed,
 when its effect is considered in conjunction with the cumulative
 effect of the number of various special uses of all types already in
 the adjacent area and in the Village as a whole.
 Findings The proposed use will not alter the primary purpose of the B3
 Business district, which is designed to accommodate a larger
 consumer population than that which is provided for in the B1
 Service Commercial and B2 Commercial districts. The nearest
 businesses with special use permits are an automotive fuel station
 and an automobile rental company, both of which are located at the
 intersection of Dempster Street and Gross Point Road. It is not
 anticipated that the proposed use will negatively impact these
 special uses or any other special use permits in the adjacent area.
5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the
 Official Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings The property is designated as pedestrian oriented mix in the
 Comprehensive Plan, and the proposed use and its plan conform to
 the general intent of the plan.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit in order to operate a child day care not
in a residence at 5125 Dempster Street in a B3 Business district. The subject site
presently contains 6 vacant storefronts and the day care will occupy the western 4
storefronts along with the rear portion of a 5th storefront. The child day care initially
will have 10 children ranging in age from infant to 4 years old and be staffed by 4 to 5
employees. In the future, the petitioner has indicated that the day care will be able to
accommodate a maximum of 92 children and have a total staff of 12 to 13 employees.
The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The day care will contain separate rooms for each age group of children, a kitchen, and
a small gym for indoor play. All drop-off and pick-up will take place at the rear of the
building, where the entrance to the day care will be located. Four existing front doors
will be removed from the storefronts along Dempster Street that the day care intends to
occupy and be replaced with windows and 3 new emergency rescue windows.
Additional rescue windows will be installed on the west and south sides of the building.
The façade of the building will also be upgraded.

The parking lot will be reconfigured to allow for the installation of a fenced 36-foot by
29-foot outdoor play area that will be located within the west half of the rear parking
lot. Four existing parking spaces will be shifted away from the building and relocated to
the south of the play area. An additional 8 parking spaces, including 1 handicapped
parking space, will be located to the east and west sides of a driveway that will dead
end at the rear of the building. A trash enclosure will be constructed at the southeast
corner of the parking lot.

The remaining portion of the 2 storefronts to the east of the proposed use will continue
to be vacant at this time.

Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments and were
received from the Engineering Division and the Fire Department. All other departments
returned the sheets with no comments regarding the subject case.


 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division has no objection to the petitioner’s request. A total of 10
 spaces are required for the child day care (at 2.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet), and
 12 spaces are required for the entire site. One bicycle parking space must be
 provided in compliance with Section 118-221 of the Skokie Village Code and must be
 located near the main entrance to the child day care.

#414762 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report 2012-44P: Special Use Permit for Child Day Care not in a Residence at 5125
Dempster Street
 8 of 17
 The depth of the parking lot is 46 feet as per the plat of survey, not 47 feet as
 incorrectly depicted on the site plan. The area between the south side of the
 building and the parking spaces and outdoor play area will need to be reduced from
 4 feet to 3 feet in order to compensate for the discrepancy.

 Fire Department
 The Fire Department requires that a door be installed on the north side of the
 building to provide a means of exiting onto Dempster Street. The emergency
 escape windows depicted on the north side of the building on the site plan do not
 comply with the egress requirement. Additionally, because the construction of the
 gym at the rear of the adjacent commercial spaces to the east of the proposed use
 will result in the loss of its secondary means of egress, a fire rated door must be
 installed between the 2 commercial spaces so that access to a rear exit can be
 maintained.

 Any future expansion of the day care that results in the business exceeding 5,000
 square feet in floor area shall require the entire occupied area to be protected by a
 fire suppression system. The floor plan indicates that the day care will occupy 4,957
 square feet at this time. The proposed use must install a fire alarm/notification
 system that is compliant with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division recognizes that day care will provide a beneficial service to the
 community and its operation will not have an adverse impact on other businesses or
 aggravate traffic in the area because most drop off will occur only in the early
 mornings and early evenings. Planning also acknowledges that the proposed use
 will occupy 4 of 6 storefronts that have been vacant for several years, enhance the
 appearance of the building, and add vitality to the West Dempster district. However,
 the Planning Division will only recommend approval of the special use permit for the
 day care if the petitioner agrees to install an entrance to the business from
 Dempster Street.

 The property is designated as pedestrian oriented mix in the Comprehensive Plan,
 meaning that uses located in this designation are designed to be accessible to
 people walking or using public transportation instead of a car. The proximity of
 public transportation in the area further justifies the need to have uses that
 accommodate people arriving by foot, not just by vehicle. The proposed floor plan is
 not compatible with pedestrian movement. The lack of access to the business from
 Dempster Street will force parents, children, and staff, who may not be driving to
 the use, to walk through the alley to get to the day care. The floor plan must be
 modified to depict a second point of entry to the day care from Dempster Street.
 The official address for the business shall be determined by Village Staff and be
 based upon the approved location of the Dempster Street door.

 The petitioner must also install a guardrail in the parking area along the full length
 of the east and south sides of the outdoor play area. The guardrail must be
 installed no closer than 2.5 feet from the parking spaces in order to permit vehicles
 to overhang beyond the concrete wheel stops.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Façade improvements for the front of the building will be presented before the
Appearance Commission meeting at a date to be determined.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for a child day
care not in a residence at 5125 Dempster Street be APPROVED, based upon the

 spaces that are currently vacant and located to the east of the proposed use.
 C. The installation of a guardrail in the parking area along the full length of the
 east and south sides of the outdoor play area. The guardrail must be
 installed no closer than 2.5 feet from the parking spaces in order to permit

Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2012-44P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, October 4, 2012


1 Consideration The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will
 not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals,
 or general welfare; and the proposed building or use at the
 particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a
 facility which is in the public interest and will contribute to the
 general welfare of the neighborhood or community.
 Findings The proposed use will not be detrimental to public safety, provided
 that a means of entering and exiting the building to and from
 Dempster Street is created so that pedestrians will not have to walk
 through the alley to access the day care. The day care will provide
 a beneficial service to families in the community, enhance the
 appearance of a building that has been vacant for over 6 years, and
 add vitality to the West Dempster district.
2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the
 character of the neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse
 affect upon adjacent property or property values in the
 neighborhood, will not unduly aggravate traffic conditions, and will
 not unduly burden essential public services such as drainage
 facilities, public utilities, and those services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare in general.
 Findings The proposed use will not have an adverse impact on other
 businesses or aggravate traffic in the area because most activity will
 take place only in the early mornings and early evenings, when
 children are dropped off and picked up. The use will not unduly
 burden essential public services or services pertaining to public
 health, safety, and welfare.
3 Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and
 operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring
 property in accordance with the applicable district regulations.
 Findings The use will generate minimal additional traffic and parking demand
 and will not negatively impact neighboring business and residential
 uses. The use will be designed and operated so as to permit the
 use of neighboring property in accordance with applicable district
 regulations.

 purpose of the zoning district of the area in which it is proposed,
 when its effect is considered in conjunction with the cumulative
 effect of the number of various special uses of all types already in
 the adjacent area and in the Village as a whole.
 Findings The proposed use will not alter the primary purpose of the B3

 anticipated that the proposed use will negatively impact these
 special uses or any other special use permits in the adjacent area.
5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the
 Official Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings The property is designated as pedestrian oriented mix in the
 Comprehensive Plan, meaning that uses located in this designation
 are designed to be accessible to people walking or using public
 transportation instead of a car. The proposed floor plan is not
 compatible with pedestrian movement. Adding a door to the
 business on the Dempster Street side of the building so that
 pedestrians could access the day care from the sidewalk would
 enable the use to meet the general intent of the plan.

ADDENDUM TO STAFF REPORT 2012-44P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, October 4, 2012


To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
From: Mike Voitik, Planning Technician
Case: 2012-44P: Special Use Permit
 5125 Dempster Street
 Child day care not in a residence

STAFF ANALYSIS
After completion of the original staff report for the case, staff received revised site and
floor plans for the proposed day care as part of the petitioner’s submittal for the
October 10, 2012 Appearance Commission meeting. The floor plan was modified to
include doors along the north side of the building. The previous plan had removed
these doors and replaced them with 3 rescue windows. The site plan was revised to
adjust the depth of the parking lot from 47 feet 46 feet, as correctly depicted on the
plat of survey. However, due to the adjustment of the site plan, the widths of 3
parking spaces along the west side of the driveway were reduced to a substandard
width of 8 ½ feet, while the handicapped loading space was widened by a half foot to 8
½ feet.

The Engineering Division, the Fire Department, the Building Division, and the Planning
Division had additional comments pertaining to the revised floor and site plans.

Comments
 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division requests that the existing 4 parking spaces to the south of
 the outdoor play area be shifted a distance of 3 feet to the north to provide
 additional distance for vehicles to back out into the alley. The square footage lost in
 the play area will be regained by narrowing the proposed driveway from 28 feet to
 24 feet and expanding the play area 4 feet to the east, resulting in a 40-foot-wide
 by 25-foot-deep play area.

 The handicapped loading space and the handicapped parking spaces must be
 reversed so that the loading space is closest to the building. The loading space
 must also be reduced to 8 feet in width. One of the three remaining spaces to the
 south of the handicapped space can be widened to 9 feet. The petitioner must also
 request relief from the parking requirements in Section 118-212(a)(1) of the Skokie
 Village Code, because the remaining 2 southernmost parking spaces on the west
 side of the driveway will only be 8 ½ feet in width, rather than the required 9 feet.

Dempster Street
 15 of 17
 Fire Department
 The Fire Department requests that a fire door be installed at the proposed break in
 the existing fire wall that runs through the building. Additionally, all exterior doors
 accessing the child day care must swing outward toward Dempster Street and the
 rear parking lot.

 The Fire Department is also requesting to remove condition #2B of the
 Recommended Special Use Conditions, which required that a fire rated door be
 installed between the 2 neighboring commercial spaces that are currently vacant and
 located to the east of the proposed use. The original concern was that access to a
 bathroom was going to be lost due to the construction of a gym at the rear of one of
 the storefronts. The issue of installing of a new bathroom in the storefront will be
 handled at the time that an occupancy permit is requested for that storefront.

 Building Division
 The Building Division requests that no window can be built along the west side of
 the building because the wall is on a lot line and the window may be blocked by
 another wall in the future if the adjacent property to the west were to be
 redeveloped. A second door must be added to the toddler room due to the removal
 of the window.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division requests that condition #2C of the Recommended Special Use
 Conditions, which required that a guard rail be installed along the south and east
 sides of the outdoor play area, be removed. The concrete wheel stops and wrought
 iron fence depicted on the site plan will provide sufficient protection for the outdoor
 play area.

 Staff also requests that the 2 existing lots of record that comprise the property must

Case Description

2012-44P – Special Use Permit: 5125 Dempster Street
Property Dynamics, LLC IV, on behalf of Mark Feyman, Barry Benveniste, and Amber
Grafman, requests a special use permit in a B3 Business district for a child day care not in
a residence and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal Notice was properly posted, advertised and delivered to all property owners in the
area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.

Barry Benveniste and Amber Grafman presented testimony for this case. They are
proposing a 4,900 sq. ft. day care center for a site which has been vacant for about seven
years. It is a beneficial use and will be an enhancement to the area. They are presenting
the case to the Appearance Commission on 10/10/12. Ms. Grafman is a certified
educator and has extensive experience with elementary to middle school aged children in
the public and private school systems. She has been a director of early childhood
programs for 2 years. The center can care for up to 90 children of various ages (infant to
kindergarten) and expects to have about 15-20 within the first 3 months of opening. The
facility’s staff will be hired as needed depending on enrollment; different age groups
require different ratios. They will be seeking DCFS approval subsequent to the outcome
of this case.

Staff fully supports the day care and summarized the report. An amended staff report
was written after revised drawings were submitted based on changes recommended from
the Fire, Engineering, Building and Planning departments.

According to the Fire Code, doors must open outward in a facility that has a capacity of
50 or more children. Both the Fire and Building Departments commented on the rescue
window. The Fire Department would rather have an actual door even though the national
standard accepts them; a rescue window is too cumbersome with young children in an
emergency. Also the Building Department noted that the location of the window is right
on the property line; a future building can be built right up to it and block its usefulness.
A window can be placed in that location but it must be a non-functioning window. A
second door must be added to the room to compensate for the loss of the rescue window.
Because an indoor gym will be housed in an adjacent storefront, a secondary exit will be
lost. Therefore, the Fire Department is also requesting a fire rated door be installed in the
corridor.


414345 Plan Commission meeting minutes 10/4/2012 Case 2012-44P
Per Engineering Department comments, parking spaces will be shifted north and re-
configured to allow an outdoor play area to be created according to DCFS requirements.
Relief for two sub-standard parking spaces will be needed.

Being in a pedestrian oriented area, the Planning Department is recommending a door
opening onto Dempster Street for people accessing the site by other means than a vehicle
as the main entrance is located off the alley.

A Plan Commissioner inquired about the effect of the proximity to the liquor store across
the street. The 100 –ft. restrictions is not the same with children in this age range. The
day care center is technically not considered a school.

Another commissioner also asked about a fire suppression system. It was stated that if
under 5,000 sq. ft., a sprinkler system is not needed.

Another commissioner verified that the space was previously used as a sports card shop
and parking was always a problem. It was puzzling to people how to get to the parking in
the back. He advised the petitioners to make it clear to their clients not to park on
Dempster Street with hazard lights on at drop-off and pick-up times.

The architect, Alexander Kozionnyi, confirmed that he will remove the rescue window
from the plan and provide a door as a secondary exit. He would like to discuss with the
Fire Department the need for a fire wall and door. The chairman stated that the Plan
Commission will vote on the case as amended with staff recommendations but there
would be time for changes to be made before final approval by the Village Board.


Recommendation and Voting

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