 a. Seller has delivered, or will deliver within fourteen (14) days after the date of this
 Contract, as evidence of title in Seller, a title commitment issued by the Title Company with an
 effective date no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the date of this Contract (the “Title
 Commitment”) for an ALTA title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price with

 written notice to Seller of any objections by Purchaser to any of the title exceptions identified
 on the Title Commitment (the “Objectionable Exceptions”). All exceptions identified in the
 Title Commitment which are not Objectionable Exceptions shall be deemed “Permitted
 Exceptions” under this Contract. Seller may, within ten (10) business days after receipt of
 Purchaser’s notice of any Objectionable Exceptions, elect to eliminate or provide title insurance

 Owner's Policy of Title Insurance or irrevocable commitment to issue same with extended
 coverage (the "Title Policy") covering the Real Estate in the amount of the Purchase Price,
 subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any additional
 exceptions to title are identified after the date of the Title Commitment that were not caused by
 the voluntary act of Seller, Seller shall not be required to remove such additional exceptions
 and the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser will be either to (i) take title to the Real Estate
 subject to such additional exceptions or (ii) terminate this Contract.
 c. Any endorsements requested by Purchaser for the Title Policy, other than the extended
 coverage endorsement, shall be paid for solely by Purchaser. Issuance or availability of any
 such additional endorsements requested by Purchaser shall not be a condition of Closing, and
 the failure of Purchaser to obtain any such additional endorsements shall not be deemed a
 default by Seller or a reason for Purchaser not to acquire the Real Estate.

14. Performance: Time is of the essence of this Contract.

any and all brokers’ commissions due and owing. Purchaser represents and warrants that it has not

Estate.

beneficiaries, have not received any notices from any governmental entity, regarding any zoning,
building, fire or health code violations in respect to the Real Estate that have not been heretofore

Property, as part of the consideration for this transaction.

18. Assignment: Purchaser shall not have the right to assign this Contract to any other person or
entity. If Purchaser shall attempt to assign this Contract in violation of the foregoing prohibition, then
Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Contract by sending written notice of
such termination to Purchaser.

19. Duplicate: A duplicate original of this Contract, duly executed by the Seller, shall be delivered
to the Purchaser within five (5) business days from the date hereof, otherwise, at the Purchaser's option,
this Contract shall become null and void.

20. Choice of Law: This Contract shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Illinois (excluding its conflicts of law rules) and any dispute arising as to the interpretation of this
Contract shall be heard in a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Cook County, Illinois and in no
other court.

 2012-50P: Zoning Map Amendment

 2012-52P: Subdivision
 2012-53P: Special Use Permit

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its December 6, 2012, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the requests of:
  MJS UBAA, LLC, the owner of 9948-9956 Crawford Avenue
  Peter and Okcha Kim, the owners of 9945 Keystone
  4033 Old Orchard Road, LLC, the owner of the vacant lot at 4033 Old Orchard
 Road
These requests would allow the development of 14,490 ft2 Walgreens store at this
combined location with a drive-through pharmacy and the sale of packaged beer, wine,
and liquor.
Case 2012-49P is a request to amend the zoning map for a portion of the existing
commercial parking lot south of 9948 Crawford Avenue from R1 Single-Family to B2
Commercial. The southern 11 feet would remain R1 because it would be the southern
half of a proposed new 22-foot improved alley. The Village Code requires that the
zoning boundaries follow lot lines or the right-of-way centerlines, where they exist.
This residentially zoned site was granted a variance to be used for commercial purposes
in 1952.
Case 2012-50P is a request to amend the zoning map for a portion of the existing
detached residence at 9945 Keystone Avenue from R1 to B2. As in 2012-49P, the
southern 11 feet would remain R1 because it would be the southern half of a proposed
new 22’ improved alley.
Case 2012-51P is a request to vacate the northern portion of the existing alley network
on this block in order to realign and construct a new wider east-west alley.
Case 2012-52P is a request to create a 1-lot subdivision, the new east-west alley right-
of-way, and provide additional right-of way dedications along Old Orchard Road and the
intersection of Old Orchard Road and Crawford Avenue.

Case 2012-53P is a request for a pharmacy drive-through facility special use permit.
Case 2012-54P is a request for a special use permit to sell packaged beer, wine, and
liquor at the Walgreens store.
What is not part of these cases is whether Walgreens, or any other pharmacy or drug
store, should be located on any portion of the site currently zoned B2. A pharmacy or
drug store is a permitted use in Zoning chapter of the Village Code.
For reference, all of the original Staff Reports that were presented to the Plan
Commission are provided to the Village Board separate from this report.
Most of the discussion by the Commission involved reducing the impact of the realigned
alley on the neighborhood. The petitioners agreed to reverse the store loading dock so
that trucks would be facing east in the alley and to restrict westbound movement with a
no left turn restriction. The attached revised site plan also severely angles the west
alley apron to physically discourage left turns and removes the indented on-street
parking spaces on the east side of Keystone Avenue in order to plant more trees for
screening. A decorative wall was already proposed along the south edge of the alley to
protect the adjacent neighbors from vehicle lights.
Additional modifications to the plan since the Plan Commission meeting include moving
the wall sign on the Keystone Avenue elevation further north, further from the
residences, and adding 3 additional parallel on-site parking spaces in the back of the
building. The realignment of the alley apron at Keystone will require an access
easement on the Plat of Subdivision for that part of the driveway/alleyway that runs
across the southwest corner of the property. Several other minor modifications will
need to be corrected prior to the adoption of any final ordinance for the appropriate
case.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning
Ordinance.
Most of the comments were about the development of the actual site for commercial
use as a Walgreens store. The Commission heard these concerns, but since none of
these cases are for a site plan approval, only those issues relative to the subject cases
are summarized below.
Residents questioned the need to rezone a parcel of land that was already granted a
variance to allow commercial and whether or not that variance had expired. Several
residents were also concerned that rezoning these properties would permit a
development that would intensify commercial activity and traffic levels, change the
character of the neighborhood, and decrease their property values. The petitioner
replied that, based upon previous experience in developing other Walgreens in the
area, it was common to acquire and rezone residential properties in order to create a

VOSDOCS-#422659-v1-
Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_combined_cases_regarding_the_proposed_Walgreens_at_4009_Old_Orchard_Road


 2 of 33
larger, squared-off parcel to develop upon. In terms of property values, the petitioner
explained that previous Walgreens stores that his company developed elsewhere on the
North Shore increased property values by redeveloping older properties, stabilizing the
neighborhood, and increasing tax revenue.
Most concerns about the vacation and subdivision dealt with traffic safety in the
neighborhood due to the traffic that would use the new alley and Keystone Avenue,
why the utilities were not being buried, restricting alley use to a one-way direction, and
the impact on the home on the west side of Keystone that would be facing the new
alley.
There were some concerns that there are already two other alcohol sales
establishments in the neighborhood.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The Appearance Commission reviewed and approved the facades and signage for the
Walgreens design with 5 ayes, 0 nays, and 2 members absent on November 14, 2012
(2012-058A). The plans included a precast concrete wall of a fieldstone design, located
in the north side yards of the two adjacent residential properties along the proposed
alley.
The Appearance Commission recommended approval for 4 items of relief from the Sign
chapter of the Village Code that were discovered by Staff during the review of this case.
At the Plan Commission meeting, the petitioner withdrew the 2nd item of relief that
would have allowed a wall sign on the alley façade.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends, by a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays, that:
A. the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map from R1 Single-Family to B2
 Commercial for the northern 39 feet of the south 50 feet of the property commonly
 known as 9946-9956 Crawford Avenue be APPROVED based on the proposed
 positive findings of fact for 2012-49P.
B. the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map from R1 Single-Family to B2
 Commercial for 9945 Keystone Avenue, except for the southern 11 feet, be
 APPROVED based on the proposed positive findings of fact for 2012-50P.
C. the petitioners’ request for a special use permit to operate a drive-through facility
 for a pharmacy at 4009 Old Orchard Road in a B2 Commercial district, as amended
 to include only right turns out at the west end of the alley and to reverse the flow of
 loading dock traffic from westbound to eastbound, be APPROVED subject to the
 attached Positive Findings of Fact and Recommended Special Use Permit Conditions
 for 2012-53P. The Commission also recommended relief be granted from:

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-49P: Zoning Map Amendment
Plan Commission December 6, 2012


1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in question.
 Findings The subject site consists of a portion of a parking lot that is used by the
 storefronts located at 9946-9950 Crawford Avenue. The surrounding uses
 consist of a vacant bar and restaurant, a special trade contractor’s office, vacant
 storefronts, a portion of the parking lot for 9946-9950 Crawford Avenue, and
 detached residences. The existing uses in the general area should not be
 negatively impacted by the proposed zoning map amendment.
2 Consideration The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings Property to the north of the subject site is zoned B2 Commercial. Property to
 the south of the subject site is zoned R1 Single-Family. Property to the east of
 the subject site is zoned R2 Single-Family (City of Evanston). Property to the
 west of the subject site is zoned R1 Single-Family.
3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the
 existing zoning classification
 Findings While parking, as a principal use, is not currently permitted in the R1 Single-
 Family district, the existing parking lot is allowed under a 1952 ordinance that
 granted a variance to allow commercial uses on the property. The subject site
 has been continuously used for commercial purposes since that time.


4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area, on the property in
 question, including changes, if any, which have taken place since the day the
 property in question was placed in its present zoning classification.
 Findings The southern 9 feet of the subject site has been zoned A Single Family/R1 Single
 Family since 1946. A variance was granted in 1952 allowing the residentially-
 zoned portion of the property to be used for commercial purposes. The
 northern 25 feet was zoned E Commercial until sometime between 1952 and
 1956 when this portion of the subject site was rezoned to R1. Until the 1950’s,
 the property appears to have been vacant or used for agricultural purposes.
 Since the late 1950’s, the subject site has been occupied by a parking lot that is
 used by the storefronts at 9946-9950 Crawford Avenue.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has been
 towards commercial uses along Old Orchard Road, commercial and detached
 residential uses along the west side of Crawford Avenue, detached residential
 uses along the east side of Crawford Avenue (City of Evanston), detached
 residential uses to the west of the subject site, and commercial uses, attached
 residential uses, and multifamily residential uses along the north side of Harrison
 Street (City of Evanston).

PLAN COMMISSION
POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-50P: Zoning Map Amendment
Plan Commission December 6, 2012


1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in question.
 Findings The subject site currently contains a detached residence. The surrounding uses
 consist of a vacant bar and restaurant, a special trade contractor’s office, vacant
 storefronts, a portion of the parking lot for 9946-9950 Crawford Avenue, a liquor
 store, and detached residences. The existing uses in the general area should
 not be negatively impacted by the proposed zoning map amendment.
2 Consideration The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings Property to the north and east of the subject site is zoned B2 Commercial.
 Property to the south and west of the subject site is zoned R1 Single-Family.
3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the
 existing zoning classification
 Findings Although detached residences are a permitted use in the R1 Single-Family
 district, the property in question is not well-suited for this type of use because it
 does not meet the current minimum lot width requirement for the district. If the
 building on the lot is significantly damaged or destroyed, the property cannot be
 redeveloped with a new single-family residence.

4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area, on the property in
 question, including changes, if any, which have taken place since the day the
 property in question was placed in its present zoning classification.
 Findings The subject site has been zoned A Single Family/R1 Single Family since 1946.
 The subject site has been occupied by a single-family residence since 1953 and
 appears to have been vacant or used for agricultural purposes prior to that time.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has been
 towards commercial uses along Old Orchard Road, commercial and detached
 residential uses along the west side of Crawford Avenue, detached residential
 uses along the east side of Crawford Avenue (City of Evanston), detached
 residential uses to the west of the subject site, and commercial uses, attached
 residential uses and multifamily residential uses along the north side of Harrison
 Street (City of Evanston).

POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-53P: Special Use Permit
Plan Commission December 6, 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 A pharmacy drive-through facility is a low impact use and will not endanger the
 public’s health, safety, morals, or general welfare. The use will contribute to the
 community by providing access to care for persons with mobility problems in the
 neighborhood and the larger community.

2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the character of the
 neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse effect 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 pharmacy drive-through facility will not substantially change the character of
 the neighborhood. The facility will be screened from with landscaping on the
 west side of the site. Headlights from vehicles waiting at the drive-through
 window will be screened by a decorative wall. The proposed use should not have
 an adverse effect upon adjacent property or property values in the neighborhood,
 traffic conditions, or 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 pharmacy drive-through facility will permit the use of neighboring property in
 accordance with the applicable district regulations.

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 or be contrary to the primary purpose of the B2
 Commercial district. The proposed use should not be in conflict with nearby
 special uses.

5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the Official
 Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings Except for the portion of the site that is currently occupied by a detached
 residence, the site is designated as retail/service employment in the
 Comprehensive Plan. The addition of 9945 Keystone is a logical extension of the
 retail/service employment area.

POSITIVE FINDINGS OF FACT 2012-54P: Special Use Permit
Plan Commission December 6, 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 sale of packaged, beer, wine, and liquor will not be detrimental to
 or endanger the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare. The sale of
 packaged alcoholic beverages is common at other big box discount retailers and
 grocery stores in the area.

2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the character of the
 neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse effect 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 sale of packaged, beer, wine, and liquor will not have an adverse
 impact upon or change the character of the neighborhood. The previous use on
 this site was a restaurant and bar where alcoholic beverages were sold and
 consumed and packaged liquor sales were allowed. This use will be packaged
 sale only and is less intensive.

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 proposed sale of packaged, beer, wine, and liquor will take place entirely
 within the confines of the building and will have no impact upon the development
 and use of neighboring property.
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 sale of packaged, beer, wine, and liquor is not contrary to the
 primary purpose of the B2 Commercial district.

5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the Official
 Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings Except for the portion of the site that is currently occupied by a detached
 residence. The site is designated as retail/service employment in the
 Comprehensive Plan. The addition 9945 Keystone is a logical extension of the
 retail/service employment area.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes for 2012-49P
 Date: December 6, 2012

A motion to approve the minutes of the November 15, 2012 meeting was made by Plan
Commissioner Berman and seconded by Commissioner Paradise. All voted aye.
The Plan Commission chairman announced to the audience that the issues of these cases are not
about whether a Walgreens store can go on the property. If it weren’t for the drive through
pharmacy and the packaged liquor sales, the Plan Commission would not be meeting at all about
this development.


Case Description
2012-49P – Map Amendment: 9948-9956 Crawford Avenue
MJS UBAA, LLC, requests that the northern 39 feet of the south 50 feet of the property
commonly known as 9948-9956 Crawford be rezoned from R1 Single-Family to B2
Commercial. The southern 11 feet will remain zoned R1 Single-Family. This property is
currently being used for a commercial parking lot.


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.
Staff gave a brief zoning history of the site. Despite the existing R1 zoning, a variance was
granted in 1952 allowing the property to be used for commercial purposes. Currently, the
property is being used as a commercial parking lot by the storefronts at 9946-9950 Crawford
Avenue. The southern portion of the site will remain R1 as it will act as a buffer separating the
residences to the south. Staff is supportive of the zoning change to B2.
There were no questions by the Plan Commission regarding this case.
Attached is a list of interested parties who spoke in opposition for all cases regarding the
proposed Walgreens development.


Recommendation and Voting
The Plan Commission moved to recommend approval of this case based on positive findings of
fact. The motion was approved with a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays.


Motion: Laxpati Second: O’Donnell
Ayes: 9

pharmacy and the packaged liquor sales, the Plan Commission would not be meeting at all about
this development.


Case Description
2012-50P – Map Amendment: 9945 Keystone Avenue
Peter and Okcha Kim request that, except for the southern 11 feet, the property commonly
known as 9945 Keystone Avenue be rezoned from R1 Single-Family to B2 Commercial. The
southern 11 feet will remain zoned R1 Single-Family. This property is currently being used for a
detached single family residence.


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.
Staff gave a brief history of the site. A single-family residence has been in existence on this
narrow lot since 1953. Prior to that, the land was vacant or used for agricultural purposes. The
property is of substandard width (51.54 feet wide) and the single-family residence could not be
replaced if it were to become damaged or destroyed. Per current code requirements for the R1
residential zone, standard width is 55ft. The subject site is adjacent to commercially zoned
property that is located at an intersection of 2 arterial streets. Staff is supportive of the zoning
change to B2.
There were no questions by the Plan Commission regarding this case.
Attached is a list of interested parties who spoke in opposition for all cases regarding the
proposed Walgreens development.


Recommendation and Voting
The Plan Commission moved to recommend approval of this case based on positive findings of
fact. The motion was approved with a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes for 2012-51P
 Date: December 6, 2012


A motion to approve the minutes of the November 15, 2012 meeting was made by Plan
Commissioner Berman and seconded by Commissioner Paradise. All voted aye.
The Plan Commission chairman announced to the audience that the issues of these cases are not
about whether a Walgreens store can go on the property. If it weren’t for the drive through
pharmacy and the packaged liquor sales, the Plan Commission would not be meeting at all about
this development.


Case Description
2012-51P – Alley Vacation bound by Old Orchard Road, Crawford Avenue, Colfax Street,
and Keystone Avenue
MJS UBAA, LLC; 4033 Old Orchard Road, LLC; and Peter and Okcha Kim; request to vacate
the east-west alley and the northern 192.33 feet of the north-south alley between the 9900 block
of Crawford and Keystones Avenues.


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.
Staff gave a brief summary of the case. Currently, the 2 alleys are paved with concrete and
asphalt. The vacation will extend down and a new east-west alley will be dedicated (Case 2012-
52P). The alley in its present form is 16 feet wide while the new alley will be widened to 22 feet
for better access. The residents south of Keystone and Crawford Avenues will not be negatively
impacted. Current utilities will be relocated to the new east-west alley. The new alley will
function as a public alley, continue to provide access to the north-south alley, and act as an
access driveway to Walgreens. The petitioner will bear all costs associated with the relocation
of the existing overhead utility lines that run within the alleys.
One Plan Commissioner asked who’s responsible for the maintenance of the vacated and
dedicated alley. The Planning Technician stated that maintenance will remain under the Village
of Skokie.
Attached is a list of interested parties who spoke in opposition for all cases regarding the
proposed Walgreens development.


Recommendation and Voting
A Plan Commissioner made a motion to add a resolution restricting the direction of traffic on
Keystone Avenue to northbound only. There was no second. Another commissioner made a
motion to concur with staff. The Plan Commission moved to recommend approval of this case
based on positive findings of fact. The motion was approved with a vote of 8 ayes and 1 nay.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes for 2012-52P
 Date: December 6, 2012

A motion to approve the minutes of the November 15, 2012 meeting was made by Plan
Commissioner Berman and seconded by Commissioner Paradise. All voted aye.
The Plan Commission chairman announced to the audience that the issues of these cases are not
about whether a Walgreens store can go on the property. If it weren’t for the drive through
pharmacy and the packaged liquor sales, the Plan Commission would not be meeting at all about
this development.


Case Description
2012-52P – Subdivision: 9948-9956 Crawford Avenue, 4033 Old Orchard Road, and 9945
Keystone Avenue
MJS UBAA, LLC; 4033 Old Orchard Road, LLC; and Peter and Okcha Kim; request a one lot
subdivision with the dedication of a new east-west alley and dedication of additional right-of-
way to Old Orchard Road in a B2 Commercial district.


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.
Staff gave a brief summary of the case. The petitioners are requesting to combine 13 parcels into
1 lot. In addition to the subdivision, land will be dedicated to create a new east-west alley and
also add 3 feet to the south side of the Old Orchard Road right-of-way which is only 30 feet
wide. Also being requested is a 15-foot x 15-foot dedication of land at the corner of Old Orchard
Road and Crawford Avenue for future widening of the intersection.
One Commissioner questioned why the utilities were not being buried. The Community
Development director stated that at the time when the Walgreens at Dempster and Crawford was
being constructed, it was determined to be a considerable expense to the petitioner and an
impediment to economic development. The Village Board decided to amend the policy only
requiring wires to be buried if service is a benefit solely to the proposed development. In this
case, the overhead lines benefit the common neighborhood for electricity and cable services.
The Commissioner asked if the Plan Commission can require the petitioner to bury the utility
poles for aesthetics rather than keeping them overhead in the new alley. It was stated that the
issue should be taken up at the Village Board meeting.
Attached is a list of interested parties who spoke in opposition for all cases regarding the
proposed Walgreens development.


Recommendation and Voting
A Plan Commissioner again made a motion to add a resolution restricting the direction of traffic
on Keystone Avenue to northbound only. There was no second. Another commissioner made a

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes for 2012-53P
 Date: December 6, 2012


A motion to approve the minutes of the November 15, 2012 meeting was made by Plan
Commissioner Berman and seconded by Commissioner Paradise. All voted aye.
The Plan Commission chairman announced to the audience that the issues of these cases are not
about whether a Walgreens store can go on the property. If it weren’t for the drive through
pharmacy and the packaged liquor sales, the Plan Commission would not be meeting at all about
this development.


Case Description
2012-53P – Special Use Permit: 4009 Old Orchard Road
MJS UBAA, LLC; 4033 Old Orchard Road, LLC; and Peter and Okcha Kim; request a special
use permit for a drive-through facility for a pharmacy in a B2 Commercial 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.
Scott Gendell, president of Terraco, Inc., Mike Fitzgerald of OKW Architects, Kevin Gazley,
Vice-President of Terraco, Luay Aboona, of KLOA Transportation and Parking Consultants, and
Ryan Solum of Manhardt Consulting, LTD, gave testimony regarding the case. Mr. Gendell
gave a brief rundown of his background stating that he has completed 15 developments in Skokie
since he started his business in 1986. He has developed 30 Walgreens stores in approximately
20 years and, in this case, he will demolish an older, dilapidated property, add significant
improvements to the alley such as storm sewers and grading, and clean up the area which will
increase tax revenue and stability. It is his opinion that property values will go up. The
development and traffic circulation will fit better on a rectangular lot rather than an L-shape one
and therefore, it is not an uncommon practice to acquire an adjacent residential property to
square off the lot.
Mike Fitzgerald of OKW displayed a revised site plan from what was submitted. Minor
modifications were incorporated that were recommended by staff. There will be pedestrian
access from the NE and NW corners, the drive-thru bypass lane will be widened to 14 feet and
separated by a median and exiting cars from the drive through can make a right or left turn from
the new alley but can only go northbound on Keystone Avenue.
One Plan Commissioner suggested reversing the flow of traffic for delivery trucks and trash
collection at the loading area so that headlights do not shine towards the residents.
He also asked if a” right turn restricted” sign can be installed; it was noted that a physical barrier
cannot be constructed like at other Walgreens locations.

VOSDOCS-#422659-v1-
Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_combined_cases_regarding_the_proposed_Walgreens_at_4009_Old_Orchard_Road


 21 of 33
Luay Aboona of KLOA spoke of the traffic analysis. Walgreens is not a high generator of
traffic. The amount of traffic in the drive through would be approximately 5 cars in an hour. It
is a convenience for drop-off and pick-up of prescriptions and medication. It cannot be
compared to a fast food drive through or even a Starbucks. He compiled traffic counts and made
observations during the AM and PM rush hours and during mid-day hours on Saturdays of the
Old Orchard corridor. Traffic in the vicinity of Old Orchard and Crawford has a good level of
service which he rates as a “B”; meaning that traffic clears through in 1 cycle. In his opinion,
there will not be a measurable change with Walgreens at this location.
Corporation Counsel asked a quarrelsome audience member to leave after being warned of
making disruptive comments. A reporter also was asked to leave as he was snapping pictures of
the incident. Another commissioner reminded counsel that as a member of the press, he was
allowed to remain at the hearing.
Ryan Solum of Manhardt Consulting said that there will be no truck deliveries from the north-
south alley and trucks will never go southbound on Keystone Avenue. Most traffic will come
from Old Orchard Road or Crawford Avenue. The 2 curb cuts on Old Orchard Road will
become 1 and be aligned with Wellington Ct. for better efficiency. The main access will be from
the 1 curb cut on Crawford Avenue with a “right in and right out” configuration.
The Planning Supervisor noted that there were letters from area homeowners in support of the
project and wished them to be entered into the record. He also spoke about the 6-foot masonry
screening wall at the south boundary which will cut out light and noise to the residential
properties. Canopy trees and shrubs planted by the drive through will also act as a barrier. He
also clarified that the petitioners did not ask for any relief despite the information the City of
Evanston provided. The Appearance Commission approved this project at the Nov. 14, 2012
meeting (Case 2012-058A).
The Community Development director commented on several concerns that were voiced. UBAA
never had a special use but rather was considered a legal non-conforming use. Access
restrictions cannot be placed on a dedicated right-of-way but can be included on a special use
ordinance. Regarding lighting and noise, the Village has strict regulations which stipulate lights
on a property must shine only on that property. Sound level, as well, cannot be a nuisance. He
also informed the room that per Village policy, Skokie does not have speed bumps on streets or
alleys because they are difficult to maintain.
A signed petition presented to the Mayor was an option given to the concerned residents.
A Plan Commissioner stated that he researched the topic and found that speed bumps do slow
traffic which does affect fire trucks and police cars too. He has found it rare that residents ask
for them.
The petitioner stated that he is in agreement with staff recommendations including the additional
amendments to add a right turn out sign at the west exit of the alley and also to flip the flow of
traffic in the area of the loading dock to a west to east direction so that truck headlights do not
face the residences.
Attached is a list of interested parties who spoke in opposition for all cases regarding the
proposed Walgreens development.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes for 2012-54P
 Date: December 6, 2012


A motion to approve the minutes of the November 15, 2012 meeting was made by Plan
Commissioner Berman and seconded by Commissioner Paradise. All voted aye.
The Plan Commission chairman announced to the audience that the issues of these cases are not
about whether a Walgreens store can go on the property. If it weren’t for the drive through
pharmacy and the packaged liquor sales, the Plan Commission would not be meeting at all about
this development.


Case Description
2012-54P – Special Use Permit: 4009 Old Orchard Road
MJS UBAA, LLC; 4033 Old Orchard Road, LLC; and Peter and Okcha Kim; request a special
use permit for the sale of packaged beer, wine, or liquor at a pharmacy in a B2 commercial
district


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.
Scott Gendell, president of Terraco, Inc., presented the case. The Walgreens company made a
decision about 7-8 years ago to reinstitute liquor sales as a convenience item in their stores but to
a much lesser degree than previously. The amount of shelf space devoted to the scaled down
liquor department will be about 100-200 feet of shelf space and 3-4 cooler cases. They are not in
competition with liquor stores in the immediate area. The petitioner also reminded the audience
that liquor has been served at this location since 1939. He also stated that the Walgreens
personnel will be over 21 and cleared with the police department.
Some Plan Commissioners had the opinion that sales at a liquor store would be a destination
stop. Liquor sales at Walgreens is a secondary use; picking something up while you are at the
store anyway. They also thought that it is up to the liquor commissioner to decide if there are too
many sites clustered together selling liquor and is not within the purview of the Plan
Commission.
The Community Development director reviewed the restrictions of a Class M liquor license. It
applies to only selling packaged items, a confined amount of linear shelf space, and also
limitations on the hours for selling liquor.
UBAA, the previous establishment, had a general liquor license consuming liquor on site as well
as a small amount of carry-out business. Liquor sales are common at other big box retailers in
the area however, it was a store decision that the new Walgreens on Dempster and Crawford not
to sell liquor.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioner is requesting to amend the zoning map from R1 Single-Family to B2
Commercial for the northern 39 feet of the south 50 feet of the property commonly
known as 9946-9956 Crawford Avenue. The petitioner desires to rezone the property in

#416823 v1 Staff Report – 2012-49P – Zoning Map Amendment: 9946-9956 Crawford Avenue
 1 of 5
order to construct a new Walgreens drug store with a drive-through pharmacy at 4009
Old Orchard Road (case 2012-53P). The property is currently being used for a
commercial parking lot by the storefronts at 9946-9950 Crawford. The southern 11 feet
of the south 50 feet this property will remain zoned R1 Single-Family because it will lie
within the southern half of a new 22-foot-wide alley that will separate the proposed
Walgreens from the residences to the south (case 2012-52P). Despite its R1 zoning,
the subject site has been used for commercial purposes since 1952.

Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Other than
the Planning Division, all other departments had no comments.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division has reviewed the submitted materials and supports the
 proposed zoning map amendment. Rezoning the property will create a larger site
 for the proposed Walgreens to develop its site plan within. The proposed zoning
 map amendment is consistent with the retail/service employment land use
 designation in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Walgreens fits well within the
 zoning guidelines of the B2 Commercial district because it is a commercial
 establishment whose service area extends outside the immediate neighborhood of
 the facility.
 The southern 9 feet of the subject site has been zoned A Single Family/R1 Single
 Family since 1946. A variance was granted in 1952 allowing the residentially-zoned
 portion of the property to be used for commercial purposes. The northern 25 feet
 was zoned E Commercial until sometime between 1952 and 1956 when this portion
 of the subject site was rezoned to R1. Until the 1950’s, the property appears to
 have been vacant or used for agricultural purposes. Since the late 1950’s, the
 subject site has been occupied by a parking lot that is used by the storefronts at
 9946-9950 Crawford Avenue.
 Current surrounding uses include a vacant bar and restaurant, a special trade
 contractor’s office, vacant storefronts, a portion of the parking lot for 9946-9950
 Crawford Avenue, and detached residences.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has been towards
 commercial uses along Old Orchard Road, commercial and detached residential uses
 along the west side of Crawford Avenue, detached residential uses along the east
 side of Crawford Avenue (City of Evanston), detached residential uses to the west of
 the subject site, and commercial uses, attached residential uses, and multifamily
 residential uses along the north side of Harrison Street (City of Evanston).
 The zoning on Skokie’s side of the border has remained consistent since 1970, when
 most commercial uses in the immediate area along Gross Point Road, Old Orchard
 Road, and Crawford Avenue were rezoned from B1 Service Commercial to B2

#416823 v1 Staff Report – 2012-49P – Zoning Map Amendment: 9946-9956 Crawford Avenue
 2 of 5
 Commercial. The residential neighborhood to the south and west of the subject site
 has been zoned A Single Family/R1 Single Family since the 1940’s. On the Evanston
 side of the border, the zoning has remained consistent along the east side of
 Crawford Avenue since at least the 1960’s. A large portion of the area to the north
 of Harrison Street, between Gross Point Road and Crawford Avenue, was zoned B1
 Business until the late 1980’s when the property was rezoned to R4 General
 Residential and redeveloped from manufacturing and commercial uses to
 townhouses and condominiums.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change the
subject site from R1 Single-Family to B2 Commercial be GRANTED, subject to the
attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2012-49P: Zoning Map Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, December 6, 2012


1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings The subject site consists of a portion of a parking lot that is used
 by the storefronts located at 9946-9950 Crawford Avenue. The
 surrounding uses consist of a vacant bar and restaurant, a special
 trade contractor’s office, vacant storefronts, a portion of the
 parking lot for 9946-9950 Crawford Avenue, and detached
 residences. The existing uses in the general area should not be
 negatively impacted by the proposed zoning map amendment.
2 Consideration The zoning classification of property within the general area of the
 property in question.
 Findings Property to the north of the subject site is zoned B2 Commercial.
 Property to the south of the subject site is zoned R1 Single-Family.
 Property to the east of the subject site is zoned R2 Single-Family
 (City of Evanston). Property to the west of the subject site is
 zoned R1 Single-Family.
3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted
 under the existing zoning classification
 Findings While parking, as a principal use, is not currently permitted in the
 R1 Single-Family district, the existing parking lot is allowed under a
 1952 ordinance that granted a variance to allow commercial uses
 on the property. The subject site has been continuously used for
 commercial purposes since that time.




#416823 v1 Staff Report – 2012-49P – Zoning Map Amendment: 9946-9956 Crawford Avenue
 4 of 5
4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area, on the
 property in question, including changes, if any, which have taken
 place since the day the property in question was placed in its
 present zoning classification.
 Findings The southern 9 feet of the subject site has been zoned A Single
 Family/R1 Single Family since 1946. A variance was granted in
 1952 allowing the residentially-zoned portion of the property to be
 used for commercial purposes. The northern 25 feet was zoned E
 Commercial until sometime between 1952 and 1956 when this
 portion of the subject site was rezoned to R1. Until the 1950’s, the
 property appears to have been vacant or used for agricultural
 purposes. Since the late 1950’s, the subject site has been
 occupied by a parking lot that is used by the storefronts at 9946-
 9950 Crawford Avenue.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has
 been towards commercial uses along Old Orchard Road,
 commercial and detached residential uses along the west side of
 Crawford Avenue, detached residential uses along the east side of
 Crawford Avenue (City of Evanston), detached residential uses to
 the west of the subject site, and commercial uses, attached
 residential uses, and multifamily residential uses along the north
 side of Harrison Street (City of Evanston).

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioner is requesting to amend the zoning map from R1 Single-Family to B2
Commercial for 9945 Keystone Avenue, except for the southern 11 feet. The petitioner

#417236 v1 Staff Report – 2012-50P – Zoning Map Amendment: 9945 Keystone Avenue
 1 of 5
desires to rezone the property in order to construct a new Walgreens drug store with a
drive-through pharmacy at 4009 Old Orchard Road (case 2012-53P). The property is
currently the site of a detached residence. The southern 11 feet of this property will
remain zoned R1 Single-Family because it will lie within the southern half of a new 22-
foot-wide alley that will separate the proposed Walgreens from the residences to the
south (case 2012-52P).

Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Other than
the Planning Division, all other departments had no comments.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division has reviewed the submitted materials and supports the
 proposed zoning map amendment. Rezoning the property will create a larger site
 for the proposed Walgreens to develop its site plan within. Although the proposed
 zoning map amendment is not consistent with the land use designation in the
 Comprehensive Plan, the subject site is adjacent to commercially-zoned property
 that is located at an intersection of 2 arterial streets (Old Orchard Road/Harrison
 Street and Crawford Avenue). The proposed Walgreens fits well within the zoning
 guidelines of the B2 Commercial district because it is a commercial establishment
 whose service area extends outside the immediate neighborhood of the facility.
 Furthermore, the existing lot at 9945 Keystone Avenue is only 51.49 feet wide and
 does not meet the current minimum lot width requirement for the R1 Single-Family
 district. If the building on the lot is significantly damaged or destroyed, the property
 cannot be redeveloped with a new single-family residence.
 The subject site has been zoned A Single Family/R1 Single Family since 1946. The
 subject site has been occupied by a single-family residence since 1953 and appears
 to have been vacant or used for agricultural purposes prior to that time.
 Current surrounding uses include a vacant bar and restaurant, a special trade
 contractor’s office, vacant storefronts, a portion of the parking lot for 9946-9950
 Crawford Avenue, a liquor store, and detached residences.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has been towards
 commercial uses along Old Orchard Road, commercial and detached residential uses
 along the west side of Crawford Avenue, detached residential uses along the east
 side of Crawford Avenue (City of Evanston), detached residential uses to the west of
 the subject site, and commercial uses, attached residential uses, and multifamily
 residential uses along the north side of Harrison Street (City of Evanston).
 The zoning on Skokie’s side of the border has remained consistent since 1970, when
 most commercial uses in the immediate area along Gross Point Road, Old Orchard
 Road, and Crawford Avenue were rezoned from B1 Service Commercial to B2
 Commercial. The residential neighborhood to the south and west of the subject site
#417236 v1 Staff Report – 2012-50P – Zoning Map Amendment: 9945 Keystone Avenue
 2 of 5
 has been zoned A Single Family/R1 Single Family since the 1940’s. On the Evanston
 side of the border, the zoning has remained consistent along the east side of
 Crawford Avenue since at least the 1960’s. A large portion of the area to the north
 of Harrison Street, between Gross Point Road and Crawford Avenue, was zoned B1
 Business until the late 1980’s when the property was rezoned to R4 General
 Residential and redeveloped from manufacturing and commercial uses to
 townhouses and condominiums.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to amend the zoning map to change the
subject site from R1 Single-Family to B2 Commercial be GRANTED, subject to the
attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2012-50P: Zoning Map Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, December 6, 2012


1 Consideration Existing use of property within the general area of the property in
 question.
 Findings The subject site currently contains a detached residence. The
 surrounding uses consist of a vacant bar and restaurant, a special
 trade contractor’s office, vacant storefronts, a portion of the
 parking lot for 9946-9950 Crawford Avenue, a liquor store, and
 detached residences. The existing uses in the general area should
 not be negatively impacted by the proposed zoning map
 amendment.
2 Consideration The zoning classification of property within the general area of the
 property in question.
 Findings Property to the north and east of the subject site is zoned B2
 Commercial. Property to the south and west of the subject site is
 zoned R1 Single-Family.
3 Consideration The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted
 under the existing zoning classification
 Findings Although detached residences are a permitted use in the R1 Single-
 Family district, the property in question is not well-suited for this
 type of use because it does not meet the current minimum lot
 width requirement for the district. If the building on the lot is
 significantly damaged or destroyed, the property cannot be
 redeveloped with a new single-family residence.




#417236 v1 Staff Report – 2012-50P – Zoning Map Amendment: 9945 Keystone Avenue

4 Consideration The trend of development, if any, in the general area, on the
 property in question, including changes, if any, which have taken
 place since the day the property in question was placed in its
 present zoning classification.
 Findings The subject site has been zoned A Single Family/R1 Single Family
 since 1946. The subject site has been occupied by a single-family
 residence since 1953 and appears to have been vacant or used for
 agricultural purposes prior to that time.
 The land use trend in the general area within the past 25 years has
 been towards commercial uses along Old Orchard Road,
 commercial and detached residential uses along the west side of
 Crawford Avenue, detached residential uses along the east side of
 Crawford Avenue (City of Evanston), detached residential uses to
 the west of the subject site, and commercial uses, attached
 residential uses and multifamily residential uses along the north
 side of Harrison Street (City of Evanston).

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioners are requesting the vacation of the east-west alley and the northern
192.33 feet of the north-south alley, both being in the 9900 block between Crawford
Avenue and Keystone Avenue. The remainder of the north-south alley on this block is
not proposed to be vacated. At the present time, both alleys are improved and
concrete- or asphalt-paved. Overhead utility lines run along the north side of the east-
west alley and the east side of the north-south alley. The petitioners intend to vacate
the alleys, tear down the commercial buildings at 9946-9956 Crawford Avenue, and
raze the single-family residence at 9945 Keystone Avenue in order to construct a new
Walgreens drug store with a drive-through pharmacy (case 2012-53P).
Upon vacation of the 2 alleys, a new 22-foot-wide east-west alley will be dedicated to
the south of the subject site within an area presently occupied by a parking lot for the
storefronts on Crawford Avenue and a detached single-family residence. The new
right-of-way will function as both a public alley and an access driveway to the
Walgreens, and will continue to provide access to the north-south alley to the south of
the subject site. A 12-inch sewer main presently runs within the east-west alley. Its
future use or relocation will need to be evaluated. The existing overhead utility lines in
the east-west alley will be relocated into the south side of the new east-west alley.

Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Other than
the Planning Division, all other departments had no comments.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division staff supports the proposed alley vacations. The vacation of
 the alleys will create a larger, more suitable site for the proposed Walgreens to
 locate within. The petitioner shall bear all costs associated with the relocation of the
 existing overhead utility lines that run within the alleys.
 Prior to the hearing of the case before the Board of Trustees, the petitioner shall
 clarify its plan for the existing 12-inch sewer main that is located within the existing
 east-west alley. The petitioner shall bear all costs associated with relocating or
 abandoning the sewer as it cannot remain in the area of the vacated alley unless it
 is used to serve the proposed building.
#416345 v1 Staff Report – 2010-51P: Alley Vacations Bounded by Old Orchard Road, Crawford Avenue, Colfax Street, and
Keystone Avenue
 2 of 3
 No compensation is being requested by the Village for the vacated alley because the
 petitioner will be dedicating a public alley of similar square footage as part of the
 subdivision (case 2012-52P).

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the proposed alley vacation be GRANTED subject to the
following conditions:
1. Prior to the hearing before the Board of Trustees, the petitioner shall clarify its plan
 for the existing 12-inch sewer main that is located within the east-west alley.
2. The property shall be vacated pursuant to the Plat of Vacation dated November 1,
 2012, revised November 30, 2012, and as may be further revised with the approval
 of the Village Manager, or designee, and Corporation Counsel.
3. The petitioner shall bear all costs associated with relocating or abandoning the
 sewer as it cannot remain in the area of the vacated alley unless it is used to serve
 the proposed building.
4. Upon the passage of the ordinance by the Board of Trustees, the Mylar of the Plat of
 Vacation shall be submitted to the Village with all signatures other than Village staff
 or elected officials.
5. The vacation shall be effective upon the recording of a Plat of Vacation by the
 Village in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, Illinois.

SITE INFORMATION
 Public sidewalks are located along Crawford Avenue, Old Orchard Road, and
 Keystone Avenue
 Overhead utilities run along the north side of the east-west alley and the east side of
 the north-south alley.
 One 1-way westbound driveway provides access from southbound Crawford Avenue
 into the parking lot located to the south of 9946 Crawford.
 The site is served by the CTA 201 bus, which has a stop located one block west of
 the subject site at the intersection of Old Orchard Road and Gross Point Road.


PETITIONERS’ SUBMITTAL
The petitioners are requesting a special use permit for a drive-through facility for a
proposed Walgreens store. The petitioner contends:
 The proposed property will enhance property values by reusing a vacant bar and vacant
 lot with a modern and neighborhood friendly drug store and bring the property to current
 standards regarding public utilities and storm water management. Traffic impacts are
 expected to be minimal with access and egress mostly from major area streets.



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


Engineering Division
A Traffic Impact Study was prepared by Kenig, Lindren, O’Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA)
which analyzed the traffic impacts of the drive-through facility and for the development.
The location of the drive through for the pharmacy is acceptable with no adverse
impact to the site or area. The plan indicates stacking for 4 to 5 cars which will insure
the drive-through operations won’t spill out into the east-west drive aisle. Per the
Traffic Impact Study drive-through activity will generate maximum queues of 2-3
vehicles with an average of 1 vehicle. The number of curb cuts and the location and use
of the relocated alley to serve the site minimizes impact to the adjacent street network
system.
The off-street parking requirement for the proposed prototypical 14,490 gross SF
building is 46 parking spaces, after deductions, based on the 1/300 SF of net floor area
and a 1/200 for a small consult room. The submitted site plan indicates a total of 44
onsite parking spaces (which includes 2 handicapped parking spaces). Staff
VOSDOCS-#418742-v1-Staff_Report_for_2012-53P__Special_use_permit_for_a_drive-
through_facility_at_4009_Old_Orchard_Road




 2 of 9
recommends that the size of the building and the final design of the floor plan results in
no need for a parking variance. We are aware of the addition off-site parking spaces
on the east side of Keystone Ave, which benefits the area. The bicycle parking
requirement for 2 spaces is not indicated on the plan, but must be complied with. The
loading area is located on the south side of the building. The pharmacy drive-through is
located on the west side of the building and will operate one-way south bound. A
condition of approval is that the loading and trash pick-up activity has to occur without
blocking the public alley.
The access needs for this site plan are met. The proposed development of this site will
have minimum effect on the traffic along Old Orchard, Crawford, and Keystone, and the
internal site circulation and parking layout is functional and acceptable. It is important
to note that the consolidation of the 2 driveways on Old Orchard Road into 1 driveway
opposite Wellington Court will have a positive traffic impact on traffic flow on Old
Orchard Road.
The Engineering Division has no objection to the proposed improvements and
recommends approval. Approval is based on the concurrence with the Recommended
Conditions of Approval. Please note also that the Village will install the speed limit of 15
MPH signs in the new east/west public alley.


Planning Division
Planning is supportive of the drive-through facility at this location with a few minor site
plan modifications. This type of drive-through has a very low volume and a low impact
on the surrounding community. A retaining wall and landscaping are being placed
along Keystone Avenue to screen the drive-through lane, and a decorative wall is being
placed along the south side of the alley to screen the house at 9939 Keystone from
headlights.
In addition to the Engineering Division’s plan modifications noted above and in the
conditions below, Planning is requiring the following items to bring the plan into
compliance with Village Code:
 1) The bypass lane must be increase to 14’ in width. This can be achieved by
 reducing depth of the west facing parking spaces to 16’ with a 2’ foot overhang.
 2) The retaining or screening walls may not exceed 30” in height within the 15’
 sight distance at the north-south alley intersection.
Furthermore, pedestrian sidewalk access to the northwest corner of the site, similar to
what is proposed to on the northeast corner of the site, should be added to the site
plan. Any additional residual dimensional savings should be added to landscaping yards.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The Appearance Commission reviewed and approved the facades and signage for a
Walgreens design with 5 ayes, 0 nays, and 2 members absent on November 14, 2012
(2012-058A). The plans included a precast concrete wall of a fieldstone design, to be
located in the north side yards of the two adjacent residential properties along the
proposed alley, “Walgreens” signs on all four facades with the south wall sign not be,
“W” logos and “Pharmacy” signs on the Crawford and Old Orchard façades, a
monument sign at the corner of Crawford and Old Orchard, and a landscape plan with
final approval by Village staff.
The Appearance Commission recommended approval for the follow 4 items of relief
from the Sign chapter of the Village Code. These items of relief were not requested by
the petitioner at the time of the Plan Commission submittal. The Plan Commission must
make a recommendation on each of the items of relief to the Village Board.
 1. §82-27(c)(1)b.1. To allow wall signs on the Crawford Avenue, Old Orchard
 Road, and Keystone Avenue façades facing street frontages with residentially
 zoned property.
 2. §82-27(c)(1)b.2. To allow a wall sign on the public access area (alley) façade
 that does not have a business entrance or display window.
 3. §82-27(c)(2) To allow more than 1 wall sign per signable area on the Crawford
 and Old Orchard façades to include “W” logos and “Pharmacy” signs.
 4. §82-27(c)(1) To allow letters and logos to be greater than 36 inches in height.
Staff was opposed to the 2nd item of relief for the wall sign on the south side of the
building and continues to be opposed to Plan Commission recommending the granting
of this relief. This item is not part of our recommendation for approval.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioners’ request for a special use permit to operate a
drive-through facility for a pharmacy in a B2 Commercial district be APPROVED subject
to the attached Positive Findings of Fact and Recommended Special Use Permit
Conditions listed below.
Staff further recommends that relief be APPROVED from the following 3 provisions of
the Chapter 82 Signs of the Village Code in accordance with the plans approved by the
Appearance Commission on November 14, 2012 in case 2012-058A:
 1. §82-27(c)(1)b.1. To allow wall signs on the Crawford Avenue, Old Orchard
 Road, and Keystone Avenue façades facing street frontages with residentially
 zoned property.

Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2012-53P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, December 6, 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 A pharmacy drive-through facility is a low impact use and will not endanger the
 public’s health, safety, morals, or general welfare. The use will contribute to the
 community by providing access to care for persons with mobility problems in the
 neighborhood and the larger community.

2 Consideration The proposed building or use will not substantially change the character of the
 neighborhood, will not have an undue adverse effect 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 pharmacy drive-through facility will not substantially change the character of
 the neighborhood. The facility will be screened from with landscaping on the
 west side of the site. Headlights from vehicles waiting at the drive-through
 window will be screened by a decorative wall. The proposed use should not have
 an adverse effect upon adjacent property or property values in the neighborhood,
 traffic conditions, or 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 pharmacy drive-through facility will permit the use of neighboring property in
 accordance with the applicable district regulations.

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 or be contrary to the primary purpose of the B2
 Commercial district. The proposed use should not be in conflict with nearby
 special uses.

5 Consideration The proposed use and its plan conform to the general intent of the Official
 Comprehensive Plan.
 Findings Except for the portion of the site that is currently occupied by a detached
 residence, the site is designated as retail/service employment in the
 Comprehensive Plan. The addition of 9945 Keystone is a logical extension of the
 retail/service employment area.

PETITIONERS’ SUBMITTAL
The petitioners are requesting a special use permit for packaged beer, wine, and liquor
sales at a proposed Walgreens store.


STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. All
departments returned the sheets with no comments regarding the subject case.
Staff recommends approval of the special use permit for packaged beer, wine, and
liquor sales. The sale of packaged alcoholic beverages is becoming more common at
drug stores chains in the area. The previous use on this site was a restaurant and bar
where alcoholic beverages were sold and consumed for decades, including the sale of
packaged liquor. This use will be packaged sale only and has the potential for less of
an impact on the surrounding neighborhood. The hours of the sale of all packaged
beer, wine, and liquor shall be in accordance with all state and local laws. The Class M
License that would apply to this site restricts the sale to between 7 AM and 11 PM, with
sales on Sunday beginning at 8 AM.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review is not required.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for packaged,
beer, wine, and liquor sales at 4009 Old Orchard Road be APPROVED, based upon the
Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended and standard
special use permit conditions.

RECOMMENDED SPECIAL USE CONDITIONS
1. The petitioners shall comply with all Federal and State statutes, laws, rules and
 regulations and all Village codes, ordinances, rules, and regulations.
2. Failure to abide by any and all terms of this Ordinance shall be cause for the Village
 to initiate hearings to determine whether the subject Ordinance, as well as any

#418816 v1 Staff Report – 2012-54P: Special Use Permit for Packaged Beer, Wine, and Liquor Sales at 4009 Old Orchard Road

 applicable business licenses, should be revised or revoked.
3. The petitioners shall pay all costs related to any hearings conducted as a result of
 non-compliance with any of the provisions of the enabling ordinance. The costs
 shall include but not be limited to court reporter fees, attorney fees, and staff time
 required researching and conducting said hearing.

Proposed Positive Findings of Fact 2012-54P: Special Use Permit
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, December 6, 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 sale of packaged, beer, wine, and liquor will not be
 detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, or
 general welfare. The sale of packaged alcoholic beverages is
 common at other big box discount retailers and grocery stores in
 the area.
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 sale of packaged, beer, wine, and liquor will not have
 an adverse impact upon or change the character of the
 neighborhood. The previous use on this site was a restaurant and
 bar where alcoholic beverages were sold and consumed and
 packaged liquor sales were allowed. This use will be packaged sale
 only and is less intensive.
3 Consideration The proposed building(s) or use will be designed, arranged, and
 operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring

 Findings The proposed sale of packaged, beer, wine, and liquor will take
 place entirely within the confines of the building and will have no
 impact upon the development and use of neighboring property.
4 Consideration The proposed use will not alter or be contrary to the primary

 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 sale of packaged, beer, wine, and liquor is not
 contrary to the primary purpose of the B2 Commercial district.

 2012-54P: 4009 Old Orchard Road (Special Use Permit)
Staff from the Human Services Division reviewed the public service proposals and helped shape
the staff recommendations regarding such activities, and site visits were made by Department of
Community Development staff to the locations for which rehab or capital improvement funds
were requested. Funding recommendations take into account existing conditions, immediacy of
the problem, necessity of the public services, coordination with the work of the Village’s Human
Services Division, priorities of the Village’s Consolidated Plan, and conformance with the
CDBG program regulations. Program Year 2013-14 will mark the third year in which a 25%
agency match is required for any award of CDBG funding for capital improvement or building
rehabilitation projects. A full description of the recommended activities and funding levels is
provided at the end of this memo.


Program Administration (20% cap)
The staff request for Program Administration is $85,000, or 20% of the estimated entitlement
amount. This sum will fund the costs of administering the CDBG program. Any unused funds
will be reprogrammed in 2014-15. If the Program Year 2013-14 entitlement amount turns out to
be less than the estimate, this allocation will need to be reduced accordingly.


Public Services (15% cap)
The requests for Public Services funding totaled $101,420, so a reduction of at least $37,334 is
necessary for the coming fiscal year to bring the total public service funding within the estimated
15% cap. The CDBG program was originally designed to be a “bricks and mortar” program as
evidenced by the fact that only 15% of the total of new funding and program income can be used
for activities not resulting in actual physical improvements. The original program guidelines
actually limited public services to only 10% of the grant, but this was increased in the 1980s.
HUD does not support further increases in the public service cap. The Village’s funding
application form stresses the preference for capital improvements and rehabilitation activities
and warns applicants that public service funding is very limited. It states that public service
grants to outside agencies will generally be less than $10,000; however, the Village continues to
receive a significant number of such requests, primarily from agencies located outside Skokie
that serve the Village’s residents.

 Recommended Village of Skokie Activity
 In order to more fairly distribute the anticipated entitlement funds, staff proposes to reduce
 the funding requests for the Village’s public services activity.

 Funding for the Social Worker position is recommended for $30,586, a decrease from
 the $31,190 budgeted for Program Year 2012-13. The Village’s social worker primarily
 works with an increasing number of Village residents meeting the low-income guidelines
 who necessitate various counseling, referral, case management, and other social work
 services. This year’s request is $37,920, and staff is recommending the reduction to
 enable the Village to fund more of the outside public service requests for the coming
 year. This reduction will necessitate additional funding from the Village’s General Fund
 to fulfill this activity.




VOSDOCS-#421662-v1-CDBG_PY13_Public_Hearing_Memo_No_3 2
 Recommended Activities for Other Organizations
 In order to more fairly distribute the anticipated entitlement funds, staff proposes to match or
 reduce the funding requests for public service activities for nine private organizations. Staff
 does not recommend funding any activity less than $2,000, due to the required
 documentation efforts associated with program administration for both the applicants and the
 Village.

 Funding for Metropolitan Family Services is recommended at $5,000, which will
 provide counseling services to low/moderate-income Skokie residents. In the past, this
 organization has requested capital improvement and rehabilitation funding; however, the
 organization greatly needs public services funding to continue to provide grief, trauma,
 family/couple and/or parent/child relationship, child/adolescent school performance and
 behavior, work performance, substance abuse, individual and family development, and
 family violence counseling services to Skokie residents. The Human Services Division
 depends on this organization on an almost daily basis, so full funding is strongly
 recommended.

 Funding for Jewish Child and Family Services (JCFS) is recommended at $3,500,
 which will support a Financial Assistance Case Manager position. The overall goal of
 the financial assistance program is to empower low-income Skokie residents to create
 more stable environments. The position was created in 2009 to address the outcomes of
 the current economic climate. Such workers will assist Skokie residents in accessing
 resources they need to regain and maintain financial stability.

 Funding for the Center for Enriched Living program is recommended at $2,000, which
 will enable the organization to provide scholarship assistance for developmentally
 disabled Skokie residents to participate in various programs such as sports, hobbies, and
 self-care for participants to learn new skills and socialize with others.

 Funding for the Maine-Niles Association of Special Recreation program is
 recommended at $2,000, which will provide scholarship assistance for developmentally
 disabled Skokie residents to participate in therapeutic recreation activities.

 Funding for the Access to Care program is recommended at $3,500, which will enable
 approximately five Skokie residents to receive primary health care services such as
 unlimited visits to their Access to Care physician, routine lab and x-ray services, and
 prescription drugs for nominal co-payments.

 Funding for the PEER Services, Inc. program is recommended at $4,500, which will be
 applied to costs associated with staffing a part-time treatment engagement and retention
 specialist. Services will include outreach, assessment, and treatment for teens, families,
 and single adults in the Village. The operation of an Intensive Outpatient Program for
 teens with substance abuse issues has been very valuable for the overall youth services by
 the Human Services Division. PEER is also part of the Village’s regular court call team
 for teen substance abuse cases.

 Funding for the Children’s Advocacy Center is recommended at $2,000, which will be
 applied to costs associated with staffing an advocate/counselor to provide support to child


VOSDOCS-#421662-v1-CDBG_PY13_Public_Hearing_Memo_No_3 3
 victims of abuse and their non-offending family members, through expert child
 interviews, medical evaluations, and crisis intervention services.

 Funding for The Harbour is recommended at $4,500, which will serve teens and young
 adults by providing emergency shelter and transitional housing to runaway, homeless,
 and neglected youth. This organization is a valuable component in the local social
 service network, and has demonstrated fiscal responsibility in the past by adjusting its
 budget to correspond with its revenues.

 Funding for the North Shore Senior Center program is recommended at $6,500, which
 will provide long-term case management and counseling services to Skokie’s
 homebound, low-income elderly and their families. This organization works very closely
 with the Human Services Division.


Capital Improvements and Rehabilitation
Following allocations of $85,000 for Program Administration and $64,086 for Public Services,
staff is recommending that $304,850 be awarded for seven capital improvement and
rehabilitation activities. It is unlikely that a budget reduction for capital improvements and
rehabilitation projects will be necessary if the entitlement is a maximum of 10% less than
estimated, as unallocated funds from previous program years could cover the difference.

 Recommended Village of Skokie Projects
 The funding recommendations are as requested:

 Funding for the Home Improvement Program is recommended for $95,000. To-date,
 the homeowner approvals for funding are slightly reduced from the prior program year
 due to applicant ineligibility; however, demand is anticipated to remain high. This
 program has been ongoing for 30 years. Four years ago, the maximum grant was raised
 from $8,000 to $12,000 per household in cases where emergency and life safety
 improvements were necessary.

 Funding for the Street Resurfacing Program is recommended for $150,000. The
 resurfacing work will be on Keating and Knox Avenues between Oakton and Keeney
 Streets, plus the alley west of 8200 Knox Avenue. Last year was the first year this area
 received capital improvement funding in several years as the previous focus was in the
 area between Downtown Skokie and the Oakton Community College campus.

 Funding for the 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program is recommended for $3,000, as
 the program may include requests from low/moderate-income homeowners outside the
 planned focus area. Homeowners meeting the low/moderate income requirements are
 eligible to receive grants for their shares of the sidewalk replacement costs. The focus of
 the sidewalk replacement efforts will be in an area bounded by Church Street to the north,
 Dempster Street to the south, and the municipal boundaries to the east and west.




VOSDOCS-#421662-v1-CDBG_PY13_Public_Hearing_Memo_No_3 4
 Recommended Projects for Other Organizations
 Staff proposes funding requests for capital improvement and rehabilitation projects for four
 private organizations.

 Funding for Connections for the Homeless is recommended for $3,559, which will
 assist with the replacement of a damaged sidewalk that slopes towards and runs along the
 foundation of the two-unit building, and the installation of fencing and the replacement of
 deteriorated bricks in the chimney to provide safety and security, for participants of the
 family housing program at 4840 Hull Street. Connections will provide a minimum 25%
 funding match toward this project.

 Funding for CJE SeniorLife is recommended for $15,000, which will assist with the
 expansion of emergency generator coverage for extended power outages that impact the
 Lieberman Center for Health and Rehabilitation at 9700 Gross Point Road. During a 23-
 hour power outage in June 2011, additional critical areas were identified for emergency
 generator coverage, including: the meat freezer, fruit and vegetable cooler, meat and
 dairy coolers, hot boxes to keep cooked food at safe temperatures, and additional outlets
 on each floor to ensure access to medical records and critical medical equipment remains
 in continuous use. In addition, the expanded coverage would ensure that meals, for both
 Lieberman residents and participants of the Home Delivered Meals program, can be
 produced during an extended power outage. CJE will provide a minimum 25% funding
 match toward this project.

 Funding for SHORE Community Services is recommended for $13,541, which will
 assist with the replacement of deteriorating carpeting/padding and vinyl sheet flooring
 with a commercial-grade vinyl tile at the Karger House CILA at 4324 Church Street.
 Subflooring, baseboards, and moldings will also be replaced as needed. The selected tile
 will create a more safe and sanitary environment for the residents and staff, and be easier
 to maintain. SHORE will provide a minimum 25% funding match toward this project.

 Funding for Search, Inc. is recommended for $24,750, which replace windows and doors
 in a group home for women with developmental disabilities located at 7807 Keeler.
 These capital improvements would increase the energy-efficiency of the home’s
 operations, as many of these windows and screens no longer open or lock properly.
 Search will provide a minimum 25% funding match toward this project.

 Project Not Recommended for Funding
 Any proposals that do not provide enough information to ensure compliance with the spirit
 and intent of CDBG program eligibility requirements, enable decision-makers to make an
 informed decision, are not a high priority activity in the Consolidated Plan, or do not meet
 Village land use and zoning requirements are not recommended for CDBG funding.

 Funding for the Turning Point therapeutic playground is not recommended due to the
 lack of physical and visual access to the playground by the general public during regular
 business hours, and the requirement that Turning Point (and any of its tenants) conduct its
 operations indoors.

 One of the Village of Skokie Consolidated Plan’s objectives is to maintain and increase
 the supportive services of low-income families, especially youths, with prevention,

VOSDOCS-#421662-v1-CDBG_PY13_Public_Hearing_Memo_No_3 5
 counseling, and recreation opportunities. Strategies identified included counseling
 services of Skokie youth and support for youth recreation opportunities such as park
 upgrades or after-school programs.

 Turning Point requested funding to assist with the construction of an outdoor therapeutic
 playground at 8324 Skokie Boulevard. The primary intent of this proposal is to assist in
 providing therapy to Turning Point and Lekotek clients, and not to provide a therapeutic
 playground for use by the general public.

 CDBG program regulations require that this type of facility be open to the general public
 during regular business hours (from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.)

 Although Turning Point and Lekotek are willing to post a sign stating that the therapeutic
 playground would be open to the public during regular business hours, the following
 circumstances, in staff’s opinion, would not make the playground eligible for CDBG
 funding.

 In the Village of Skokie, in order for a facility to be used by the general public, it must be
 physically and visually accessible to the general public, akin to nearby Winnebago Park
 at 8315 Knox Avenue (physically and visually accessible to the general public from
 Knox Avenue, and Washington and Madison Streets). The proposed therapeutic
 playground will be used for private therapy sessions during regular business hours, which
 would not make it fully accessible by the general public. In addition, the playground will
 be located along an internal property boundary of a two-acre property, tucked behind
 Turning Point’s 40,000-square-foot facility, and located 200 feet south of Washington
 Street without dedicated pedestrian access, making it physically and visually inaccessible
 to the general public.

 In addition, the operations of Turning Point and any of its tenants must be conducted
 wholly indoors. If outdoor operations are to be pursued, a special use permit must be
 recommended by the Plan Commission and approved by the Village Board of Trustees.
 A special use application has not been submitted, so it is not known whether or not such
 an application would be approved. Funding a project with an uncertain status is not
 advisable at this time.

 Jewish Child and JCFS provides help, healing, and caring services to strengthen lives in Chicagoland's diverse community. 3,500
 Family Services The overall goal of the financial assistance program is to empower low-income Skokie residents to create
 (JCFS) more stable environments. The position was created in 2009 to address the outcomes of the current
 economic climate. Such workers assist clients in accessing resources they need to regain and maintain
 financial stability. Services include a complete financial assessment, an understanding of causes and
 conditions that lead to a financial crisis, an increase in access to resources, and financial assistance. CDBG
 funding will be used to support a Financial Assistance Case Manager position, and the program is expected to

 isolation and loneliness experienced by people with developmental disabilities. Various programs and
 activities teach new skills and enhance the participants' abilities to communicate with and relate to others.
 Programs are offered seven days a week throughout the year at various locations, including Niles North High
 School. CDBG funding will provide scholarship assistance, and the program is expected to serve a total of 62
 low/moderate-income Skokie residents, of which a percentage will receive direct scholarship assistance in

Housing
 VOS - Home Funding will be used to continue the Village's program of repairing single-family homes. This program began 95,000
 Improvement Program in 1983. Low-income households (less than 50% of area median family income) are eligible to receive grants
 up to $8,000 to pay for building materials or contractors' services, and moderate-income households (50-80%
 of median family income) can receive loans up to $8,000 from local banks with the entire interest charges
 being paid through the program. In cases of emergency and life safety repairs, the Village has the ability to
 increase any grants to a level of $12,000. CDBG funding has been used to provide grants to 13 low-income
 Skokie homeowners to-date in Program Year 2012-13.

 Connections for the Connections for the Homeless provides housing, employment, and supportive services to move individuals 3,559
 Homeless and families out of the shadow of homelessness. CDBG funding will be used to make capital improvements
 to its 4840 Hull Street property, one of the locations for the organization's Family Housing program. Proposed
 improvements include: the replacement of a damaged sidewalk that slopes towards and runs along the side of
 the home, the installation of fencing to provide safety and security for its residents, and the replacement of
 bricks in the chimney to make it stable. Connections will be expected to provide the balance of purchase and
 installation costs.


Infrastructure
 VOS - Street and Alley Funding will be used to resurface 2 streets and an alley in a designated low/moderate-income mixed-use and 150,000
 Resurfacing multi-family neighborhood northeast of the Skokie Boulevard and Oakton Street intersection. The streets are
 Keating and Knox Avenues, both from Oakton Street north to Keeney Street. The alley is between Knox and
 Kilpatrick Avenues, from Cleveland Street north to Madison Street. The proposed improvements are located
 in Census Tract 8074 and Block Group #3, which according to the 2000 U.S. Census had a 61.1%
 low/moderate income population. Street and alley resurfacing is a high priority of the Village’s Capital
 Improvement Program (CIP) budget. CDBG funding was used to resurface 1 street and 1 alley in Program
 Year 2012-13.
 VOS - 50/50 Sidewalk Funding will be used to provide grants to homeowners meeting low/moderate-income eligibility who are 3,000
 Replacement Program required to participate in the Village’s 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program. As the Village implements this
 program each year, low/moderate-income homeowners are able to apply on an individual basis for CDBG
 funds to cover their 50% share of the sidewalk replacement. A simple application form is used and proof of
 income status is based on our Home Improvement Program guidelines (i.e. most recent federal tax return or
 proof of current earnings and signed affidavit). CDBG funding was used to replace sidewalk segments for 31
 low/moderate-income households in Program Year 2010-11, 9 households in Program Year 2011-12, and 4
 households in Program Year 2012-13.


VOSDOCS-#420412-v1-CDBG_PY13_Public_Hearings_-_Proposal_Summaries 4
Public Facilities
 CJE SeniorLife The Lieberman Center for Health and Rehabilitation kitchen at 9700 Gross Point Road provides care to 15,000
 approximately 210 Lieberman residents, and home-delivered meals to approximately 100 elderly Skokie
 residents. CDBG funding will be used to expand emergency generator coverage for extended power outages.
 During a 23-hour power outage in June 2011, additional critical areas were identified for emergency generator
 coverage, including: the meat freezer, fruit and vegetable cooler, meat and dairy coolers, hot boxes to keep
 cooked food at safe temperatures, and additional outlets on each floor to ensure access to medical records
 and critical medical equipment remains in continuous use. The additional coverage would ensure that meals,
 for both Lieberman residents and participants of the Home Delivered Meals program, can be produced during
 a power outage. CJE SeniorLife will be expected to provide the balance of purchase and installation costs.


 SHORE The SHORE group home at 4324 Church Street provides residential living services to 6 Skokie residents with 13,541
 developmental disabilities. CDBG funding will be used to replace deteriorating carpeting/padding and vinyl
 sheet flooring with a commercial-grade tile at the Karger House CILA at 4324 Church Street. The selected tile
 will create a more safe and sanitary environment for the residents and staff, and be easier to maintain.
 SHORE will be expected to provide the balance of the construction costs.

 Search, Inc. The Search group home at 7807 Keeler Avenue provides residential living services to 6 female Skokie 24,750
 residents with developmental disabilities. CDBG funding will be used to replace windows and doors in the
 group home to increase the energy-efficiency operations of the home. Search will be expected to provide the
 balance of the construction costs.

2013-14 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing #3.
Trustee Sutker stated that she is abstaining from discussing and voting because she works for
an agency that has applied for CDBG funding.

Planner/CDBG Administrator Carrie Haberstich conducted the third and final public hearing
for the 2013-2014 Community Development Block Grant. The Village's entitlement grant for
Program Year 2013-14 remains unknown, so the estimate of $425,000 continues to be assumed
at this point based on an approximate 5% reduction of the Program Year 2012-13 entitlement
funding. In addition to the new entitlement, $26,696 in unobligated funds and $2,240 in
program income is recommended to be applied to the Program Year 2013-14 budget. The
program cap of 20% for administrative funding is applied only against the new entitlement

 while the 15% cap for public service funding (non-capital expenditures) is applied against the
 new entitlement plus program income. Per our normal procedures, a balance of unobligated
 funds will be retained for emergencies for activities such as the Home Improvement Program,
 Street Resurfacing, or the 50/50 Sidewalk Replacement Program, should the recommended
 allocations prove inadequate during Program Year 2013-14. The total estimated budget is
 $453,936.
