Overview
Residential Financial Assistance
Skokie CDBG-CV
Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV) Program


Introduction
In April 2020, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allocated CARES Act funding to
eligible communities, including Skokie. The Village will receive $361,988 in Community Development Block Grant –
CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funding. The CDBG-CV program is built off the standard CDBG program, with a few
adjustments.

Informational training sessions, public input, and program planning occurred, followed by the approval of a CDBG-CV
plan by the Board of Trustees. Several programs are envisioned for Skokie’s CDBG-CV funds, including
approximately $100,000 in rent, mortgage, and/or utility subsistence payment assistance to low/moderate-income
households impacted by COVID-19.

Entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities, and must give maximum feasible priority
to activities that assist low-income residents, households, and/or neighborhoods. Other activities may be carried out
after the community certifies that they meet other community development needs with a particular urgency. Existing
conditions must pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the entire community in order to be
declared as urgent. Activities that do not meet one of these broad national objectives may not be undertaken with
CDBG-CV funds.


Funding Proposal Instructions
Applications that meet Skokie residents’ needs, a HUD National Objective, eligible activity requirements, and prevent,
prepare for, or respond to the COVID-19 will be reviewed. All projects/activities must benefit low/moderate-income
persons or households and comply with one or more of HUD’s National Objectives. HUD has waived the 15% social
services cap for the CDBG-CV CARES Act grant.

Only non-profit and local government organizations and are eligible to apply for public service funding. Organizations
must be incorporated under state law and have a 501(c)(3) designation from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Applicants must also demonstrate the ability to comply with all HUD rules and regulations.


 *** Location Requirement ***
 All households assisted with your agency’s program shall meet CDBG-CV income eligibility requirements and be
 located in Skokie 60076, Skokie 60077, or Evanston 60203 to be potentially eligible for one or more subsistence
 payments, supporting up to a maximum of three (3) months.



Proposals are due Wednesday, July 22, 2020, at 5 p.m.




CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 1
Funding Proposal Evaluation
The following criteria will be used to evaluate to each request:

 1. The program meets CDBG national objectives and eligibility requirements.
 2. The program’s efficiency and effectiveness by considering the number of residents and/or households to be
 assisted per dollar of funding. Consider a balance of helping as many Skokie residents as possible, and the
 time it takes to review each application and manage each case.
 3. The agency’s history with Skokie’s CDBG program and the capacity to meet administrative requirements (as
 evidenced by general CDBG experience and financial reports).
 4. The program avoids duplication of services with existing programs, including other programs funded with
 CARES Act funds.
 5. The Village reserves the right to increase or decrease any or all funding requests to maximize effectiveness
 or to satisfy budget parameters.



CDBG-CV Application Materials
This application was developed to establish a uniform proposal for organizations requesting Skokie's CDBG-CV
funds to assist with housing-related subsistence payments. Each question must be fully addressed, and further
details of an applicant's operations may be attached. Please submit digital versions of the application and
attachments in a PDF (preferred) or Word format to carrie.haberstich@skokie.org.


Vision and Goals of Skokie’s CDBG-CV Program
Skokie’s CDBG-CV program will support a COVID-19 pandemic response with a focus on supporting low/moderate-
income residents and businesses through public service and economic development activities.

The Village’s primary goal to achieve this vision:

  Provide financial assistance for programs and services. Support individuals, households, and organizations with
 needs related to COVID-19.

 Amid the current pandemic, our Board of Directors approved a 90 day provisional
 spending plan in June that incorporates a variety of scenarios. It is more nimble
 than an annual operating budget and has allowed us to create multiple budget
 strategies to account for major public funding variables (FEMA reimbursement,
 CARES Act funding, etc). Our Board has also set clear expectations of the need
 for ongoing, comprehensive fiancial reporting so they can closely monitor our
 financial situation. Thus, we do not currently have a proposed budget for the next
 fiscal year.

Mission Statement for your agency:
 Connections for the Homeless serves and catalyzes our community to end
 homelessness, one person at a time.


A. Program
1. Project Description
 Describe the COVID-19-specific program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele,
 duration, and goals. Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several
 components, please prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)
 Connections has more than 25 years of experience operating rental and mortgage
 assistance programs to keep families in their homes and avoid the costs and trauma
 of evictions and foreclousures. During 2019, Connections supported 171 families
 across north suburban Cook County by providing direct financial assistance to local
 landlords and mortgage and utility companies to get back on their feet.

 We are well equipped to administer and deliver $100,000 in rental, mortgage, and
 utility assistance to Skokie residents. In fact, it is work we are already doing. In just
 the past three months, Connections has provided more than $40,000 in financial
 assistance to 15 Skokie households via rental, mortgage and utility assistance. Our
 team has the expertise to utilize and assess households for the various state and
 federal funds that are available to meet their needs.

 We estimate a grant of $100,000 will help us serve 40 more households (with an
 average amount of assistance of $2,500 each) to ensure they can remain in their
 homes. In addition, $15,000 of funding will partially support our case management
 efforts to assess each household in need of assistance, determine if there are other
 programs and services they are eligible for, and complete applications and
 documentation to issue the payments to local landlords and mortgage and utility
 companies. $5,000 of funding is requested for administrative expenses related to
 accounting, invoicing, and reporting.


2. Previous CDBG Funding
 Has your organization received CDBG funds before?
 (Select one)
 ☒ Yes
 ☐ No


3. Your agency will have one or more HUD-certified housing counselors on or before August 1, 20201:
 (select one)
 ☐ Yes
 ☒ No
 If no, enter the date in which your Skokie housing counselor(s) will be HUD-certified:

1 A HUD Certified Housing Counselor is not required to process “subsistence payments” for up to 3 months. A
budget and financial analysis, an action plan, follow-up, and referrals require a HUD Certified Housing Counselor,
and should not be included in the Skokie CDBG-CV residential financial assistance proposal.

 (select one)

CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 7
B. Service Area
1. Describe your agency’s service area, listing any municipalities served.
 Connections for the Homeless serves people across north suburban Cook County.
 Our primary service area includes the City of Evanston and the townships of Maine,
 New Trier, Niles, and Northfield. However, except in cases where funding restricts
 who we can serve, all our programs and services are open to anyone in need.


2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie?
 (Select one)
 ☒ Yes
 ☐ No


3. Describe any additional criteria for your program.
 There is a significant benefit to have Connections for the Homeless administer and
 deliver the $100,000 in financial assistance to Skokie residents. We have a history of
 this work, the infrastructure in place, and a team with the knowledge about all other
 available resources (both at Connections and external partners) to meet multiple
 needs. Our team will assess each household to determine eligibility for all available
 funding sources, the best match to meet the households’ need, and eligibility for
 other public benefits (LIHEAP, SNAP, General Assistance benefits, among others).
 Households will also be welcome to visit our drop-in services (2121 Dewey Avenue,
 Evanston) which are open Monday through Friday for people to access our food
 pantry, lunches, toiletries, basic supplies, and clothing. Our ultimate goal across our
 programs and services is to screen people into services to ensure we can meet all
 their basic needs as they work to strengthen, stabilize and secure their future.


4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Skokie?
 Connections serves more than 2,100 people each year across our three primary
 programs: eviction prevention, shelter, and housing. All these programs are open to
 Skokie residents, and we currently serve Skokie residents in each of these three
 areas. Most people accessing financial/prevention assistance come to us via direct
 referrals from community partners or by calling our main number. We also operate
 daily drop-in services that are open and accessible to all to meet their basic needs,
 and those are located at 2121 Dewey Avenue in Evanston. Skokie residents utilize
 these services and occasionally present at this location asking for
 financial/prevention assistance. Our shelter programming is located in Evanston,
 and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have placed more than 300 people
 into local hotels and a new 24/7 emergency shelter we launched. Skokie residents
 are being served in our shelter programs. Finally, our housing programs include
 short-and long-term rental subsidies coupled with case management services to
 help people move forward on their path to overcome homelessness. We own 2 two-
 flat buildings in Skokie that are housing 4 formerly homeless families. We also have
 multiple units rented throughout the Skokie community from local landlords for
 formerly homeless families.



CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 8
5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
 agencies provide(s) similar services?
 Connections is the only agency in the region delivering a multi-pronged approach to
 prevent and end homelessness. There are other groups in the region providing
 emergency financial assistance. However, we know these funds are limited and the
 demand far exceeds the capacity. Thus, we work to complement these efforts to
 deliver the full amount of assistance a family needs to get back on their feet. There
 are no other year-round shelter providers in the region, and certainly no other
 agencies in the region that have responded to the COVID-19 crisis in the way that
 we have to meet the needs of our neighbors who are homeless. Finally, there are
 some agencies who have housing programs across the northern suburbs. However,
 the need for affordable housing programs, and especially affordable housing
 programs coupled with wrap-around case management services, is far greater than
 the current availability. Thus, there is a gap between those who need this type of
 support to maintain their home and what is actually available.




CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 9
C. Program Client Statistics
1. List services provided to clients (shelter, counseling, financial assistance, etc.):
 We expect to serve approximately 40 Skokie households (60 people) with $100,000
 in financial assistance for rent, mortgage, and utility payments. Households will also
 have access to other basic needs and services offered by Connections as needed.


2. Complete the following table for low/moderate-income persons assisted for the primary purpose of the
 program, excluding complimentary services such as referrals:

 Total Skokie
 Total Skokie Residents
 Total People
 Residents Served by
 Served
 Served CDBG-CV
 Funds
 March 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020 60 60 60


 2020 Income Limits Household Size
 1 Person 2 Persons 3 Persons 4 Persons 5 Persons 6 Persons 7 Persons 8 Persons
 Low/Moderate-Income $51,000 58,250 65,550 72,800 78,650 84,450 90,300 96,100

 NOTE: Household income is the total income of all household members 18 years old or older who contribute to the household. The
 extremely low, very low, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more
 other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption.



3. How will you meet your CDBG-CV goals for the Skokie residents identified above?
 To connect Skokie residents to the financial assistance they need, we will continue
 to market the availability of services broadly throughout the community to ensure
 distressed homeowners and renters are aware of local resources. We do this
 through 5 primary mechanisms:

 1. Referrals: We participate in a regional coordinated entry effort via the Alliance to
 End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County and actively take referrals via the call-
 center system for people in need of assistance. We are also in regular
 communication with provider, landlord, and municipal networks throughout the
 region who refer people in need to us. These referrals and partnerships are
 especially important with groups that serve populations who are least likely to
 engage or know about our services (people who are undocumented, non-English
 speakers, etc.)

 2. Drop-in services: Monday through Friday approximately 45 people per day access
 our drop-in services that include a food pantry, toiletries, basic supplies, clothing,
 showers, lunches, mail, bus passes and case management services to triage needs.
 These services are open to all, no appointment required, and we share information
 with people using these services about our programs and those throughout the
 community.



CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 10
 3. Outreach: We have two full-time Outreach Specialists who have relationships
 across the community and connect directly with people in need. They are regularly
 interacting with municipal leaders and community providers to connect with and
 transport people who are homeless to our service locations.

 4. Phone: Our main phone number is staffed Monday through Friday during
 business hours. When possible, we immediately assess needs over the phone and
 refer the person directly to our resources. Voice messages are checked daily and
 redirected to other staff.

 5. Communications: All communication channels (website, social media, e-
 newsletters, voicemail messages) are being updated regularly. This is how we
 market to our provider, landlord, and municipal networks.


4. If you receive CDBG-CV funds, how many Skokie residents could you serve?
 We expect to serve 40 households of 60 people.


5. Would this program exist without CDBG-CV funding?
 (Select one)
 Yes
 No

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.)

 Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.
 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.
 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

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

 2. By the terms of the aforesaid permit, the PROPERTY OWNER is required to install
 and maintain landscaping in accordance with the plan dated May 31, 2019, or as it
 may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager, or designee,
 and the Corporation Counsel.

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

 4. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:

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

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

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

 7. PROPERTY OWNER shall diligently maintain and care for the landscaping which is
 installed and required by the permit and this Agreement, using generally accepted
 Page 8 of 15

VOSDOCS-#563120-v1-Ordinance__2019-
38P__Site_Plan_Approval__Site_Modifications__7701__7739__7664_Lincoln_&_7801_Terminal__Oakton_Community_College
 methods of cultivation and watering. The PROPERTY OWNER shall maintain a
 standard of care necessary to prevent the landscaping from deteriorating to the
 extent that its value as landscaping is destroyed. If Exhibit “1”, attached hereto or
 permit specifies maintenance standards or procedures, such procedures are hereby
 adopted as part of this Agreement, and by such adoption, become enforcement
 conditions of this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

 12. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post
 additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the
 VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNER to post additional security. The
 VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing
 performance in a form signed by sureties satisfactory to the VILLAGE. The
 condition of the security shall be that if the PROPERTY OWNER fails to perform any
 obligation under this Agreement, the VILLAGE may, act on behalf of the
 Page 9 of 15

 PROPERTY OWNER and use the proceeds of the cash bond, or in the case of a
 surety bond, require the securities to perform the obligations of this Agreement.

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

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS

a public sidewalk, landscaping, a tree, and a wood fence. Above-ground electrical
utility equipment is present at the north end of the subject site. A catch basin and a

well.
The Village desires to vacate the street in order to combine it with the remainder of the
public parking lot as a new lot of a 2-lot subdivision in corresponding case 2020-10P.
This portion of Lawndale Avenue is identified in Chapter 5 of the Village’s
Comprehensive Plan as being a potential street to be vacated.
The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the vacation
subject to conditions.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The Village of Skokie is requesting the vacation of an unimproved portion of Lawndale

public parking lot to the east. The subject site contains an asphalt-paved parking lot,

Comprehensive Plan as being a potential street to be vacated.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Comments
All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this
case. Other than the Civil Engineering and Planning Division comments below, all
others did not respond or approved the request without comment.

 Civil Engineering Division
 An easement for public utilities shall be established across the entire extent of the
 subject site in order to provide continued access to the above- and underground
 utility lines that run through the subject site.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division staff supports the proposed street vacation. Vacating the
 street and combining it with the land to the east will create a defined boundary for
 the Village’s public parking lot.
 Lawndale Avenue, which used to connect to Dempster Street, was terminated at the
 east-west alley north of Dempster Street at some point between 1984 and 1988,
 when the Village of Skokie acquired the land to the east of the subject site. The
 Village constructed a public parking lot across both that property and within
 Lawndale Avenue, but did not vacate the street.
 The northern 2.00’ of Lawndale Avenue lying south of the south line of the existing
 east-west alley will remain public right-of-way and will match the south right-of-way
 line of a new 18.00’-wide dedicated public alley that will be created in case 2020-
 10P and will run from Lawndale Avenue to East Prairie Road.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to vacate Lawndale Avenue north of
Dempster Street and south of a line drawn 2.00 feet south of and parallel to the south
line of the east-west alley north of Dempster Street in a B2 Commercial district be
GRANTED subject to conditions listed below.

569311 Plan Commission meeting minutes for Case 2020-09P on July 16, 2020
Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as
prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper
and correct.
Matt Brandmeyer gave an overview of the cases involving a street vacation and subdivision
with a public alley dedication. The Village is a co-petitioner for Case 2020-10P. He
described it as a swap of properties, both public and private. The subdivision of existing
lots, along with the vacated street, will be combined to create a new 2-lot subdivision. The
vacated Lawndale Avenue will be added to the public parking lot property to the east. The
existing alley currently on synagogue-owned property will be dedicated to the Village of
Skokie so that it will be owned and maintained as public right-of-way.
Per a commissioner’s inquiry, it was confirmed that the synagogue will use and occupy Lot
1 and the Village will use & occupy Lot 2 as a public parking lot.
Debbie Eisenstein, President of the Board of Directors for Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob
Synagogue stated that the synagogue will not be gaining anything. They will be using Lot
1 just as they have always done. Nothing will be changing – even the playground will stay
where it is.
Another commissioner was confused about the swap of properties. Mr. Brandmeyer offered
that “swap” was not the best choice of words. These cases were a long time coming – this
is just a formality to “clean up the plat records”.
Mr. Brandmeyer added that there were no public comments regarding these cases.

 Related Case – 2020-09: Street Vacation

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its July 16, 2020 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Skokie Valley
Agudath Jacob Synagogue and the Village of Skokie to resubdivide 10 existing lots and
vacated Lawndale Avenue into 2 new lots in a B2 Commercial zoning district. Lot 1 will
contain the existing playground and parking lot for Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob
Synagogue. Lot 2 will contain the existing public parking lot which also occupies the
portion of Lawndale Avenue that is being vacated in companion case 2020-09P.
The subdivision will include an 18’-wide right-of-way dedication between the 2 lots in
order to place the existing improved alley within the public right-of-way. The alley as
occupied presently spans both synagogue and Village-owned properties. No physical
changes are being made within either of the lots or the alley at this time.
The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the subdivision
approval subject to conditions.

Discussion of the case by the commissioners was centered around how the 2 new lots
would be structured and what land uses they would each contain.
A commissioner asked if a land swap was occurring between the synagogue and the
Village in order to give the Village land that was going to be dedicated for the public
alley. A representative of the synagogue explained it was her understanding that an
agreement was made between the Village and the synagogue years ago to build the
alley, but the property ownership boundaries were not modified at that time. The
subject case will define the limits of each property and formally dedicate the alley.
A more detailed discussion of this case is in the attached Staff Report and minutes.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties
spoke regarding the case.

SITE INFORMATION
 Public sidewalks run along Dempster Street, East Prairie Road, Enfield Avenue, and
 Lawndale Avenue.
 Driveways provide access to the subject site from Dempster Street, East Prairie
 Road, and Enfield Avenue. The driveway connecting the parking lot for the
 synagogue to the existing undedicated alley is blocked by a chain attached to
 bollards.
 Overhead utilities run along the south side of Enfield Avenue and along the south
 side of the undedicated public alley running between the proposed lots. Additional
 overhead utilities run in a north-south direction through the western portion of the
 synagogue’s parking lot.
 The Pace 250 Dempster Street bus runs adjacent to the subject site. Construction
 for the Pace Pulse Dempster Line will begin in 2021.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioners are requesting to resubdivide 10 existing lots and vacated Lawndale
Avenue into 2 new lots in a B2 Commercial zoning district. Lot 1 will contain the
existing playground and parking lot for Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue. Lot 2
will contain the existing public parking lot, which also occupies the portion of Lawndale
Avenue that is being vacated in companion case 2020-09P.
The subdivision will include an 18’-wide right-of-way dedication between the 2 lots in
order to place the existing improved alley within the public right-of-way. The alley as
occupied presently spans both synagogue- and Village-owned properties. No physical
changes are being made within either of the lots or the alley at this time.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Comments
All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this
case. Other than the Planning Division comments below, all others did not respond or
approved the request without comment.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division supports the proposed subdivision. The subdivision will clean
 up the boundaries of both properties to eliminate the current lot configuration in
 which several synagogue- and Village-owned parcels span both sites and the alley.
 The alley, which was constructed in the mid-1980’s but never dedicated, will be
 formally dedicated as a public right-of-way. The removal of portions of the alley and
 the public parking lot from synagogue-owned land will eliminate the synagogue’s
 liability of having publicly-used infrastructure located on private property. The
 Village’s liability will also be removed from the portion of its property that is
 currently used by the synagogue.
VOSDOCS-#568731-v1-Staff_Report_-_2020-10P_-_Subdivision__8822_East_Prairie_Road_and_3650_Dempster_Street
 2 of 3
 Incorporating vacated Lawndale Avenue with the land to the east into a single new
 lot (Lot 2) will create a defined legal boundary for the Village’s public parking lot.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioners’ request to resubdivide 10 existing lots and
vacated Lawndale Avenue into 2 new lots in a B2 Commercial zoning district along with
a dedication of an 18’-wide public alley between the 2 new lots, be APPROVED subject
to the conditions listed below.

RECOMMENDED SUBDIVISION CONDITIONS
 1. Upon the passage of the ordinance by the Board of Trustees, the Mylar of the
 Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue Subdivision must be submitted to the
 Village with all signatures other than Village staff or elected officials.
 2. The Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue Subdivision shall be effective upon
 its recording by the Village in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Cook
 County, Illinois.
 3. All monuments must be set no later than 1 year after the date of the recording
 of the plat.
 4. The petitioners must comply with all Federal and State statutes, laws, rules and
 regulations and all Village codes, ordinances, rules, and regulations.
