combined in the United States; and

 WHEREAS, in 2013, the American Cancer Society estimated that 6,610 new cases of
colorectal cancer would be diagnosed in the State of Illinois and that colorectal cancer would
kill an estimated 2,560 men and women in the State of Illinois; and

 WHEREAS, colorectal cancer is highly preventable because regular screening can detect pre-
cancerous polyps before the cancer even starts; and

 WHEREAS, colorectal cancer is highly treatable and curable when detected early; and

 WHEREAS, screening for colorectal cancer is underutilized in the United States, with less
than 50 percent of men and women over age 50 receiving regular screenings for colorectal cancer; and

 WHEREAS, The American Society The Cancer Research Foundation of America, the
American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the Foundation for Digestive Health and Nutrition,
and the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable have joined forces to establish March as National
Colorectal Cancer Awareness month; and

 WHEREAS, the mission of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is to decrease the
number of colorectal cancer deaths in the United States by generating widespread awareness about
colorectal cancer and by encouraging Americans to learn more about how to prevent the disease
through regular screening and a healthy lifestyle; and

 WHEREAS, the members of the Women’s Board of Rush North Shore Medical Center in the
Village of Skokie, along with the American Cancer Society, are committed to serving their community

and education issues that impact Village of Skokie residents; and

 WHEREAS, National Consumer Protection Week highlights consumer protection
and education efforts around the county; and

 WHEREAS, “Read Up and Reach Out: Be an Informed Consumer”, encourages
people across the nation to take advantage of the wealth of information that can enhance
confidence in the marketplace. Consumer information can help people recognize a rip-off,
smell a scam, or find a fraud; and

 WHEREAS, fraudulent promotions seek to exploit people’s financial fantasies,
needs, and general optimism. But informed consumers are better able to see through frauds
and deceptions, whether they take the form of questionable claims in an ad, ‘breathless’ offers
that come in the mail, or email, or schemes that sound like sure-fire successes. Perhaps more
important, informed consumers know where to go for information about their rights and how
and where to complain; and

 WHEREAS, consumers can find practical – and tactical – tips from National
Consumer Protection partner organizations about how to make well-informed purchase
decisions, and avoid scams, by going to the website at www.consumer.gov/ncpw; and

 WHEREAS, this site has information from federal, state, and local government
agencies, and national consumer advocacy organizations. Use it to promote National
Consumer Protection Week in your community, or at your school, job, or club. The Outreach
Toolkit has promotional materials that can be downloaded for your use.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE VAN DUSEN, Mayor of the Village of
Skokie, do hereby proclaim the week of March 2 - 8, 2014, as


 “NATIONAL CONSUMER PROTECTION WEEK”

in the Village of Skokie, and do urge every resident to be aware of fraudulent promotions,
scams and deceptive practices, by contacting the National Consumer Protection Agency,
before you lose your hard earned money. Passed this 19th day of February 2013

 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10, ARTICLES I AND II, AND
 CHAPTER 46, ARTICLE III OF THE SKOKIE VILLAGE CODE
 PERTAINING TO THE RETAIL SALE OF ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR
 AND RELATED FEES

1 WHEREAS, Chapter 10, Article II, of the Skokie Village Code (hereinafter “Code”)
2 provides for rules and regulations pertaining to the sale of alcoholic liquor in the Village of
3 Skokie (hereinafter “Village”); and

4 WHEREAS, Chapter 46, Article III, of the Code provides for fees for businesses and
5 occupations in the Village; and

6 WHEREAS, some of the key elements of liquor licensing in the Village are to provide
7 for the health and safety of residents of and visitors to the Village, by requiring the training of
8 those providing or pouring alcohol beverages to understand and carry out the safe service of
9 alcohol, including but not limited to BASSET training and the purchase of appropriate
10 insurance; and

11 WHEREAS, a number of establishments in the Village currently allow customers to
12 bring their own alcoholic beverages for consumption on site, a practice commonly known as
13 “BYOB”. Currently the Code does not provide for this practice and is silent on it, and some
14 restaurants have interpreted this to mean it is permitted and an unregulated practice; and

15 WHEREAS, a number of establishments in the Village currently offer alcoholic
16 beverages as part of an overall, flat-rate or inclusive package for services, sometimes
17 improperly referred to as “complimentary.” Currently the Code does not provide for this
18 practice and is silent on it, and some restaurants have interpreted this to mean it is permitted
19 and an unregulated practice even though State law does not permit the practice without a
20 license; and

21 WHEREAS, the Village is desirous of meeting the needs of these establishments and
22 encouraging them as part of our continuing economic growth, and therefore there is a need to
23 establish further licensing, not for the purposes of generating revenue, but to respond to
24 health and safety concerns for residents of and visitors to Skokie; and

25 WHEREAS, to meet these needs, the Liquor Control Commissioner has
26 recommended that a new category of license for each of these situations be enacted, to be
27 known as Class BY and Class I, respectively; and

 VOSDOCS-#444879-v1-Ordinance__Code_Amendment__Chapters_10_&_46__Alcoholic_Liquor_Sales_&_Related_Fees.doc
1 WHEREAS, the Liquor Control Commissioner has been contacted by several
2 caterers, both located in the Village and intending to locate in the Village, inquiring if the
3 Village issues liquor licenses to caterers; and

4 WHEREAS, many municipalities require outside caterers to present a caterer’s liquor
5 license from the municipality in which the business is located in order to be eligible for a
6 reciprocal temporary liquor license in that municipality; and

7 WHEREAS, a caterer’s license in the Village will facilitate business for caterers
8 catering events outside the Village, and will also provide for the health and safety of residents
9 of and visitors to the Village by requiring the training of those providing or pouring alcohol
10 beverages to understand and carry out the safe service of alcohol, including but not limited to
11 BASSET training and the purchase of appropriate insurance; and

12 WHEREAS, to meet these needs the Liquor Control Commissioner has recommended
13 that a new liquor license for caterers be enacted to be known as a Class F license, which will
14 allow for the sale and service of alcohol by caterers within the Village; and

15 WHEREAS, furthermore, some property owners have begun to permit organizations
16 to hold events on their property that are open to the public and provide complimentary
17 alcoholic beverages, resulting in practices that are not currently subject to any licensing or
18 regulation in the Code; and

19 WHEREAS, in order to address potential public safety standards and concerns, the
20 Liquor Control Commissioner has recommended that Section 10-40 of the Code be amended
21 to include a temporary permit to serve alcohol, in addition to the existing temporary permit to
22 sell alcohol; and

23 WHEREAS, with the addition of the above new license classifications, Section 46-80,
24 which outlines the fees for various liquor licenses and payment options, must be amended as
25 well; and

26 WHEREAS, the Mayor recommended to the Board of Trustees that Chapters 10 and 46
27 of the Skokie Village Code be amended accordingly; and

28 WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees at a public meeting duly held on
29 February 3, 2014, concurred in the aforesaid recommendations of the Liquor Control
30 Commissioner; and

31 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the
32 Village of Skokie, Cook County, Illinois;

33 Section 1: That Chapter 10, Articles I and II, of the Skokie Village Code be and the
34 same is hereby amended in the manner hereinafter indicated. The new material is

17 months, the license shall become null and void as if it were
18 automatically repealed from the Village Code. For the purposes of this
19 Section, the word "inactive" shall mean that the business has ceased
20 operating or is not open to the public. The Liquor Control Commissioner
21 will notify the licensee in writing stating the license is null and void.
22 Should a license become inactive for six consecutive months, the Liquor
23 Control Commissioner shall not have the authority to re-issue the
24 license.
25 (2) For the purposes of this paragraph (a), a Class A license shall not be
26 deemed to have expired if: (A) the licensee shall have ceased
27 operations for the purposes of remodeling or relocating and, at least 30
28 days prior to the cessation of operations, has filed a remodeling or a
29 relocation plan with the Liquor Control Commissioner. Based upon the
30 extent of time necessary for remodeling or relocating, the Liquor Control

1 Commissioner shall establish a deadline for the completion of the
2 planned remodeling or relocation; or (B) the licensee's business is
3 closed due to an act of God. Based upon such circumstances, the
4 Liquor Control Commissioner shall establish a reasonable time for the
5 opening of the business.
6 (3) A Class A licensee shall not enter into any agreement with a person or
7 entity, whether it be a lease, management or other agreement, that
8 would allow the person or entity to utilize the license in the operation of
9 the person's or entity's business wherein the licensee maintains an
10 interest of any kind whatsoever in the license.
11 (41) Subsequent to May 1, 2010, a Class A license shall not be used for the
12 operation of a business that sells alcoholic liquor only for the
13 consumption off of the licensee's premises.

22 consumption on the premises.
23 (c) Class BY license which shall authorize an establishment to allow patrons
24 to bring alcoholic liquor into the establishment for their on-premises consumption.
25 (cd) Class C license which shall authorize the retail sale of alcoholic liquor: (i) to
26 members of a veterans organization that does not sell alcoholic liquor to the public or invite
27 the public to its premises to purchase alcoholic liquor; and (ii) a not for profit entity that has
28 received a tax exempt designation by the Internal Revenue Code pursuant to Section
29 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, that is organized primarily for museum and

1 The sale of alcoholic liquor by a Class E licensee is limited to on-premises
2 consumption. The sale of packaged liquor by a Class E licensee is prohibited. A Class E
3 licensee shall not deliver any alcoholic liquor off-premises and shall not allow alcoholic liquor
4 to be removed from its premises except the unused portion of an opened bottle of wine
5 sealed in an approved container as permitted by State law. A Class E license shall only be
6 issued to a limited service or full service restaurant as defined in the Skokie Village Code. The
7 issuance of a Class E license to a specific address is subject to the zoning classification and
8 requirements within the various districts as outlined in Chapter 118 of the Skokie Village
9 Code.
10 (1) Each Class E license shall only be valid at the address where the
11 licensee's business is located. If a licensee's business is inactive for a
12 period of 15 consecutive days, the license will automatically expire. For
13 the purposes of this Section, the word "inactive" shall mean that the
14 business has ceased operating or is not open to the public.
15 Furthermore, the license shall become null and void as if it were
16 automatically repealed from the Village Code. The Liquor Control
17 Commissioner will notify the licensee in writing stating the license is null
18 and void. Should a license become inactive for 15 days, the Liquor
19 Control Commissioner shall not have the authority to re-issue the
20 license. For the purposes of this Section, a Class E license shall not be
21 deemed to have expired if: (A) the Class E licensee shall have ceased
22 operations for the purposes of remodeling and at least 30 days prior to
23 the cessation of operations, has filed a remodeling plan with the Local
24 Liquor Control Commissioner. Based upon the extent of remodeling, the
25 Local Liquor Control Commissioner shall establish a deadline for the
26 completion of the planned remodeling; or (B) the Class E licensee's
27 business is closed due to an act of God. Based upon such
28 circumstances, the Local Liquor Control Commissioner shall establish a
29 reasonable time for the re-opening of the business.
30 (2) The existence of the five Commercial Liquor Districts, and the
31 corresponding Class E license, does not preclude the use of any other
32 license or the operation of any other business by a liquor licensee
33 holding a license of another class in such districts.
34 (3) The Liquor Control Commissioner shall promulgate a set of rules
35 detailing the timetable and procedures for initial issuance of the Class E
36 licenses. Should the number of qualified applicants exceed the number
37 of available licenses, the Liquor Control Commissioner shall conduct a
38 lottery to determine the recipients.
39 (f) Class F license which shall authorize the sale or service of alcoholic
40 liquor for consumption off the premises as part of a catering service, and limited to
41 invited guests at private catered functions. Caterers holding class F licenses must be
42 primarily in the business of the preparation and service of food, and must have food
43 service available when alcoholic liquor is being served.
44 (g) Class I license which shall authorize the sale of alcoholic liquor as part of
45 an inclusive package for on-premises consumption. This license is not available to
46 bars or restaurants.

 VOSDOCS-#444879-v1-Ordinance__Code_Amendment__Chapters_10_&_46__Alcoholic_Liquor_Sales_&_Related_Fees.doc
1 (eh) Class M license which shall authorize the retail sale of alcoholic liquor for
2 consumption off-premises in establishments in which the sale of alcoholic liquor is a
3 secondary function of the establishments and that encompass more than 10,000 square feet
4 but less than 40,000 square feet of total retail space in the following areas of the Village: (i)
5 the North Commercial Liquor District, (ii) the Central Commercial District, (iii) the South
6 Commercial Liquor District, (iv) the East Midtown Commercial Liquor District, (v) the West
7 Midtown Commercial District, and (vi) the Southeast Commercial Liquor District. A maximum
8 of 300 linear feet of shelf space, including viewing coolers and all displays, may be
9 designated for the retail sale of alcoholic liquor; notwithstanding the area restrictions stated in
10 this paragraph. For purposes of this section, linear shelf space shall mean any single shelf,
11 which may or may not be included in a shelving unit that is utilized for the promotion, display
12 or retail sale of alcoholic liquor. An existing Class A license may be converted to a Class M
13 license as provided in sub paragraph 10-64(a)(5).
14 (fi) Class O license which shall authorize the retail sale of alcoholic liquor for
15 consumption off of the premises of the licensee. No alcoholic liquor shall be consumed on the
16 premises of a Class O licensee unless such alcoholic liquor is being offered as a promotional
17 event or taste testing without the payment of anything of value by the consuming patron.
18 There will be two subclasses of Class O licenses as follows:
19 (1) A Subclass O1 shall be effective anywhere in the Village except those
20 properties contained in the zoning district "Office Research district". A
21 category of O1 shall be designated O1L, and will be limited to retail
22 establishments that encompass more than 40,000 square feet of total
23 retail space. There is no minimum percentage of floor space which is to
24 be designated for the retail sale of alcoholic liquor. Upon adoption of
25 Ordinance 11-1-C-3814, any licensee with over 40,000 square feet of
26 total retail space shall be automatically converted to an O1L; and
27 (2) A Subclass O2 shall be effective solely in the zoning district "Office
28 Research zoning district."
29 (gj) Class P license which authorizes the retail sale of alcoholic liquor at a limited
30 service or full service restaurant at a specific location. Any person or entity holding a Class A
31 license and owning the real property on which a limited or full service restaurant, serving
32 alcoholic liquor, is or will be operated, may convert the Class A license to a P-Right, having
33 such rights as defined in subparagraph (2) below.
34 (1) Any Class A licensee, owning the real property (the "property owner")
35 on which a tenant, or management entity, does or will operate a limited
36 service or full service restaurant must obtain a P-Right from the Liquor
37 Control Commissioner. The acquisition of a P-Right will render the
38 Class A license null and void as if it were automatically repealed. The
39 Liquor Control Commissioner shall not have the authority to reissue the
40 Class A license.
41 (2) A P-Right entitles the property owner to designate to the Liquor Control
42 Commissioner the identity of a tenant, or a successor tenant, to which a
43 Class P license shall be issued. The tenant must submit an application,
44 qualify for the license and comply with all sections of this Chapter. In the
45 event the tenant's lease terminates, then the Class P license will be


 Page 10 of 14
 VOSDOCS-#444879-v1-Ordinance__Code_Amendment__Chapters_10_&_46__Alcoholic_Liquor_Sales_&_Related_Fees.doc
1 surrendered to the Village. The surrender, revocation or non-renewal of
2 the Class P license will not affect the P-Right held by the property
3 owner.
4 (3) The Liquor Control Commissioner may adopt rules and regulations
5 regarding the exercise of P-Rights and issuance of Class P licenses. A
6 P-Right shall continue in existence, and will not be subject to automatic
7 termination or loss for non-use or inactivity, as long as the property
8 owner does not violate this Chapter or the rules and regulations
9 governing P-Rights or Class P licenses. The P-Right is transferable if
10 the real property for which it applies, is transferred to a new property
11 owner. A Class P license must be renewed annually. In the event no
12 Class P license is in effect at the renewal time, the property owner must
13 renew the P-Right, and the failure to so renew will cause the P-Right to
14 become null and void.
15 (4) A P-Right shall only be in effect at the real property for which it was
16 initially issued, however, it may be in effect for any location within the
17 real property, or any adjacent real property, owned by the property
18 owner. A Class P license shall only be in effect at the location for which
19 it is issued.
20 (5) A property owner has the right to designate itself for the issuance of a
21 Class P license.
22 (hk) Class T license which shall authorize the retail sale of alcoholic liquor as part of
23 the operation of live theaters and movie theaters, subject to operation plans approved by the
24 Local Liquor Control Commissioner.

37 as a Class O license, under an existing liquor license on the effective date of Village
38 Ordinance Number 09-4-C-3672, and made non-conforming as a result of the provisions
39 hereof, shall be exempt from the provisions of this section. The restrictions in paragraph (a)
40 are applicable to any Class A licensee that operates a business that does not sell alcoholic
41 liquor for consumption on its premises.

3 Sec. 10-72. Nature of license; transfer; expiration.

4 (a) A license shall be purely a personal privilege, good for a period not to exceed 1
5 year after issuance unless revoked according to law, and shall not constitute property, nor
6 shall it be subject to attachment, garnishment, or execution, nor shall it be alienable or
7 transferable, or subject to being encumbered or hypothecated, but shall cease upon the
8 death, or insolvency of the licensee or the licensee files for bankruptcy protection. Executors
9 or administrators of the estate of any deceased licensee, or the trustee or receiver of any
10 insolvent or bankrupt licensee, may continue the business of the sale of alcoholic liquor under
11 order of the appropriate court, and may exercise the privileges of the deceased or insolvent or
12 bankrupt licensee after the death of such decedent, or such insolvency or bankruptcy, until
13 the expiration of such license, but not longer than 6 months after the death, bankruptcy or
14 insolvency of such licensee.

15 (b) A licensee shall not enter into any agreement with a person or entity,
16 whether it be a lease, management or other agreement, that would allow the person or
17 entity to utilize the license in the operation of the person's or entity's business wherein
18 the licensee maintains an interest of any kind whatsoever in the license.

19 (c) If a licensee's business is inactive for a period of three consecutive
20 months, the license shall become null and void. For the purposes of this Section, the
21 word "inactive" shall mean that the business has ceased operating or is not open to
22 the public. Should a license become inactive for three consecutive months, the Liquor
23 Control Commissioner shall have the authority to reinstate the license.
24 (d)  For the purposes of this Section 10-72, a license shall not be deemed to
25 have expired if: (A) the licensee shall have ceased operations for the purposes of
26 remodeling or relocating and, at least 30 days prior to the cessation of operations, has
27 filed a remodeling or a relocation plan with the Liquor Control Commissioner. Based
28 upon the extent of time necessary for remodeling or relocating, the Liquor Control
29 Commissioner shall establish a deadline for the completion of the planned remodeling
30 or relocation; or (B) the licensee's business is closed due to an act of God. Based
31 upon such circumstances, the Liquor Control Commissioner shall establish a
32 reasonable time for the opening of the business.
33 …

34 Sec. 10-74. Change of location of business.

35 A license shall permit the sale and/or on-premises consumption of alcoholic liquor
36 only in the premises described in the application and license. Such location may be changed,
37 subject to the restrictions on change of location for certain classes of licenses as provided in
38 this Chapter, only when a written petition is presented to the Liquor Control Commissioner for
39 the Village of Skokie and permission is granted in writing by the Liquor Control
40 Commissioner. No change of location shall be permitted unless the proposed new location is
41 an actual physical site of real estate proper for the retail sale and/or on-premises
42 consumption of alcoholic liquor, under the laws of the State of Illinois and the ordinances,

 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 118, SECTION 118-32
 PERTAINING TO ZONING CHAPTER DEFINITIONS AND SECTION
 118-218 PERTAINING TO OFF-STREET PARKING DETERMINATIONS
 AND CHAPTER 118, APPENDIX A OF THE SKOKIE VILLAGE CODE

1 WHEREAS, Chapter 118, Section 118-32 of the Skokie Village Code (hereinafter
2 “Code”) provides for the general definitions for Chapter 118 of the Code; and

3 WHEREAS, Chapter 118, Section 118-218 of the Code provides for off-street parking
4 requirements; and

5 WHEREAS, Chapter 118, Appendix A lists the allowed uses and zoning classifications
6 where they are allowed as a permitted, special, restricted or accessory use; and

7 WHEREAS, the Petitioner, The Talking Farm, requested that the Code be amended to
8 provide for an expanded list of uses for a farm that is currently operating in the Village. Uses
9 associated with a working production farm include onsite outdoor sales, limited outdoor
10 storage, teaching facilities open to the public, administrative and alternative energy
11 production; and

12 WHEREAS, Village staff determined that in order to allow the Petitioner’s request, a
13 new use category would need to be added. Hence, the Agricultural research and education
14 use was recommended by Village staff to be added as a special use in the M3 Industry
15 zoning district, in Appendix A of the Code; and

16 WHEREAS, since this special use encompasses many activities, the parking
17 requirement recommendation by Village staff was that of a determination on a case by case
18 basis. A standard set of parking requirements would be very difficult to determine; and

19 WHEREAS, during this case review, Village staff determined that the language in
20 Section 118-218 is too restrictive and in conflict with the newly adopted administrative
21 amendment to the Code which establishes the Plan Commission as the final hearing body on
22 parking determinations, thus Section 118-218 should be amended to reflect these changes;
23 and

24 WHEREAS, the Skokie Plan Commission, at a public meeting duly held on December
25 19, 2013, for which proper notice was achieved and no interested parties appeared,
26 concurred in the staff’s recommendation and voted to recommend to the Mayor and Board of
27 Trustees that Chapter 118, Sections 118-32, 118-218 and Appendix A of the Code be
28 amended pursuant to the Plan Commission Report dated January 21, 2014; and

1 WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees at a public meeting duly held on
2 January 21, 2014, concurred in the aforesaid recommendation of the Skokie Plan
3 Commission; and

4 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the
5 Village of Skokie, Cook County, Illinois;

6 Section 1: That Chapter 118, Section 118-32 of the Skokie Village Code be and
7 the same is hereby amended in the manner hereinafter indicated. The new material is
8 highlighted in bold.

9 Sec. 118-32. General definitions.
10 …
11 Agricultural research and education means the use of land primarily for urban
12 agricultural research and public education, including: a) the growing, harvesting,
13 processing, storing, and sales of crops including fresh and dried herbs, fruits,
14 vegetables, non-food ornamental plants, and compost; b) associated buildings and
15 structures for agricultural product and machinery storage, production, and sales; c)
16 associated classrooms, research labs, and office space; and d) wind energy and
17 other alternative energy production facilities.

18 Section 2: That Chapter 118, Section 118-218 of the Skokie Village Code be and
19 the same is hereby amended in the manner hereinafter indicated. The new material is
20 highlighted in bold and the material to be deleted is stricken through and highlighted.

21 Sec. 118-218. Required number of motor vehicle parking spaces.
22 The minimum number of motor vehicle off-street parking spaces for designated
23 uses shall be as follows:
24 …
25 (5) Other uses. Parking spaces for other permitted uses not listed in subsections
26 (1) through (4) of this section shall be provided in accordance with
27 requirements designated determined by the Plan Commission and, in the
28 case of special uses, as recommended by the Plan Commission and required
29 by the Mayor and Board of Trustees.

30 Section 3: That Chapter 118, Appendix A of the Skokie Village Code be and the

To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2013-41P: 8200 Christiana Avenue
 Special Use Permit for retail sales of goods that are wholesaled on the
 premises

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its January 16, 2014 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Chicago
Title Land Trust Company, as Trustee under a Trust Agreement dated June 23, 2004
and known as Trust Number 1113330, on behalf of Abe’s Smoked Fish, for a special use
permit for retail sales of goods that are wholesaled on the premises in an M3 Industry
zoning district. The existing business, a seafood wholesaler, intends to establish a 220-
square-foot retail area for the sale of pre-packaged smoked fish within the southeast
corner of the building. The retail area, which would contain a display case and a sales
counter, would be open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The wholesale portion of the business currently operates Monday through Friday
between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. In addition to adding the retail sales area, the petitioner
would also be remodeling office space and bathrooms within the building.
The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the special use
permit subject to conditions.

One commissioner asked how long the company has been in business and if there had
been any complaints from customers or the neighborhood. The petitioner replied that
the business had been at the site for 10 years and was unaware of any complaints.

Another commissioner asked if there would be any new signage installed at the site.
The petitioner responded that there would not be. Another commissioner stated that if
the petitioner wished to install signage at a later date, they would need to be aware of
the Sign Code requirements and comply with them.

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. No interested parties spoke at the hearing regarding this case.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review is not required.

#443179 Staff Report – 2013-41P: Special Use Permit: 8200 Christiana Avenue
 1 of 6
PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit to operate retail sales at 8200
Christiana Avenue in an M3 Industry district. The existing business, a seafood
wholesaler, intends to establish a 220-square-foot retail area for the sale of pre-
packaged smoked fish within the southeast corner of the building. The retail area, which
will contain a display case and a sales counter, will be open to the public from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The wholesale portion of the business currently operates
Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. In addition to adding the retail sales
area, the petitioner will also be remodeling office space and bathrooms within the
building.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff comment and review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff
comments on the subject case were received from the Engineering, Environmental
Health, and Planning Divisions. All other departments returned the sheets with no
comments.

 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division recommends approval of the proposed special use permit
 subject to recommended conditions. The existing parking lot has 10 spaces,
 however 2 of the spaces have an existing covenant which designates them for use by
 the tenants at 8216 Christiana. A total of 8 parking spaces will be required for the
 subject site and 8 spaces are provided, meeting the parking requirement for the
 subject site.
 One bicycle parking space must be provided and shown in accordance with §118-221
 and §118-222 of the Skokie Village Code.

 Health Department
 The Health Department requests that the floor area in the retail display area be light
 colored, smooth, and easily cleanable. No carpeting shall be installed on the floor
 within the retail display area. All display products must be contained within National
 Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified coolers and/or refrigerator units.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division recommends approval of the special use permit for retail sales.
 The retail portion of the subject site is very small relative to the overall space that is
 occupied by the wholesale operation of the business. The proposed use meets the
 limited retail uses requirement in §118-171(1)f. of the Skokie Village Code, which
 permits the retail sale of goods that are manufactured, processed, or wholesaled on
 the premises.




#443179 Staff Report – 2013-41P: Special Use Permit: 8200 Christiana Avenue
 2 of 6
 Although the petitioner does not intend to make any changes to the existing parking
 spaces, the parking layout on the site plan does not match the existing parking
 configuration on the west side of the building. The site plan must be modified so
 that it reflects the current parking space layout. Furthermore, the site plan must be
 revised to show the proposed location of the trash container, which must be located
 directly west of, but not blocking, the door on the west side of the building.

 Prior to the hearing before the Board of Trustees, the petitioner must submit to the
 Planning Division a tax form consolidating the 2 parcels that the petitioner currently
 owns (10-23-407-039-0000 and 10-23-407-040-0000) and required filing fees.

 wood trim below the roofline on the west side of the building and replace the faded
 address labels on the door on the west side of the building.

Case Description

2013-41P – Special Use Permit: 8200 Christiana Avenue
Chicago Title Land Trust Company, as Trustee under a Trust Agreement dated June 23,
2004 and known as Trust Number 1113330, on behalf of Abe’s Smoked Fish, requests a
special use permit for retail sales at 8200 Christiana Avenue in an M3 Industry district
and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.

PINs: 10-23-407-039-0000, 10-23-407-040-0000


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. Notice was reviewed and
ruled to be proper and correct.

The petitioner, Adi Kohn, presented the case. They wish to add a small 220-foot retail
outlet to their existing seafood wholesale business. They would be open to the public
Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. They plan to display the packaged smoked
fish in a showcase.

One commissioner asked how long they have been in business and if there were any
customer or neighbor complaints. The petitioner replied that they have been at the site
for 10 years and operated strictly wholesale with no customer contact. They are not
aware of any complaints from the neighbors.

The Planning technician requested that the staff report be accepted into the record and
further explained the conditions. He noted that the site plan needs to be revised as the
parking layout described on the submitted plan does not match the current parking
configuration. There are 10 spaces for parking but 2 spaces have an existing covenant
that designates them for use by the neighboring tenant. However, 8 spaces are required
and are provided. One bicycle space must be specified and shown on the site plan as
well. He also mentioned that the trash dumpster needs to be moved to the west not
blocking the door or parking spaces.

One commissioner asked if there will be any signage. The petitioner answered no and
therefore not needing approval from the Appearance Commission. Another

commissioner added that should the petitioner decide at a later date to install signage,
they should be aware of the Sign Code requirements and comply with them.

The Plan Commission concurred with staff recommendations and made a motion to grant
approval.
