 WHEREAS, Osteoporosis is a debilitating bone-thinning disease in which the
skeleton becomes so fragile that the slightest movement can cause a bone fracture.
Osteoporosis affects 28 million Americans, 80 percent of whom are women. It takes a
terrible human toll of death, pain, impaired mobility, and disruption of daily activities and
costs our country nearly $14 billion every year. Its victims lose their independence, and
their families share in the heartache; and

 WHEREAS, Osteoporosis stands as a foremost problem in women's health
issues. The disease is more prevalent among women, and has risk factors and
interventions which are different for women. Because of generally lower income and lack
of health care reimbursement for necessary testing, women encounter significant barriers
to early diagnosis. And because women have a longer life expectancy, the likelihood of
developing fractures associated with Osteoporosis is greatly increased; and

 WHEREAS, one out of every two women and one out of every eight men over the
age of 50 will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture; and

 WHEREAS, building peak bone mass during childhood and young adulthood is
critical to reducing the chance of developing Osteoporosis later in life and a healthy
lifestyle, including a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, weight bearing exercises,
a healthy lifestyle with no smoking and limited alcohol intake, and medication when
appropriate can help prevent osteoporosis; and

 WHEREAS, methods do exist to detect the disease before fractures occur and
people will take preventive action to reduce their risk of Osteoporosis if they are informed;
and

 WHEREAS, the American public is called upon to observe National Osteoporosis
Prevention Month, May 2014, with appropriate programs and activities.

 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE VAN DUSEN, Mayor of the Village of
Skokie, do hereby proclaim the month of May 2014, as

 "OSTEOPOROSIS MONTH"
and urge all civic, scientific, medical, educational, voluntary, governmental, and health care
organizations and professionals to recognize the importance of osteoporosis prevention
with education and information programs and activities for the citizens of the Village of
Skokie.

 Related Cases – 2014-1P: Parking Determination
 2014-2P: Special Use Permit

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its March 6, 2014 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of 7400 Niles
Center Road, LLC, on behalf of STI Moving & Storage, Inc., for a special use permit for
truck and freight transportation services at 7400 Niles Center Road, in an M1 Office
Assembly Industry zoning district. The moving company currently operates a 2,500
square foot office within the southeast portion of the building and a 16,000 square foot
warehouse within the northwestern portion of the building. The business utilizes an
overhead door to access the warehouse and also has 2 designated truck docks on the
east side of the building.
The office is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. The business
utilizes a total of 14 trucks and has 24 regular employees (15 movers and 9 office staff)
and up to 11 additional seasonal moving staff in the summer due to increased demand.
Ten employees typically drive their vehicles to work on a daily basis. The remaining
employees either take public transportation or ride their bikes to work. Two 48-foot
trucks and six 24-foot trucks are kept on the site overnight while 6 trucks are stored
off-site.

The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the special use
permit subject to conditions, as amended. A total of 29 parking spaces are required for
the moving company (as determined in case 2014-1P).

A commissioner questioned why staff was permitting the petitioner to park his trucks
and trailers across striped parking spaces and noted that there was no requirement that
the trucks park in a specific area of the parking lot. Staff responded that that
Engineering Division reviewed the plans and indicated that it would be acceptable for
the trucks to park across striped lines at this location since there were excess parking
spaces available. The commissioner did not agree with staff’s explanation that the
trucks could park anywhere on the site with disregard to existing parking lot striping.
Another commissioner responded that the designated area on the west side of the



#448290 v1 – Master Plan Commission Report 2014-2P: Special Use Permit: 7400 Niles Center Road
 1 of 8
building should be the primary location for truck parking and the area should be
indicated on the site plan and outlined on the pavement.
A commissioner also requested that a condition be added which would restrict the
parking of moving trucks east of the front wall of the building. The petitioner stated
that trucks do park within the enclosed loading dock on the east side of the building but
never park in the area to the east of the loading docks.
The petitioner objected to condition number 6 of the recommended special use permit
conditions, which required that the existing parking spaces within the circular driveway
in front of 7410 Niles Center Road be removed and that parking be prohibited in this
area. He explained that 2 elderly employees who work at one of the businesses at that
address need to park close to the front doors. A commissioner responded that the
need to preserve these spaces should be explained to the Engineering staff to see if
these spaces can be designated for handicapped parking.

Subsequent to the Plan Commission meeting, Engineering Department staff revisited
the site and determined that the two striped spaces located within the circular driveway
to the east of the entrance to 7410 Niles Center Road could remain in place.


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

 Traffic Engineering Division
 Per the parking determination for the proposed truck and freight transportation
 service recommended in case 2014-1P, a total of 29 vehicle and a minimum of 3
 bicycle parking spaces are required. Traffic Engineering Division staff requests that
 additional bicycle parking spaces be provided on site to accommodate the
 anticipated needs of the moving company’s employees. A total of 58 vehicle parking
 spaces are required for the entire building and 87 spaces are provided, satisfying the
 parking requirement for all tenants within the subject site.
 Three handicapped parking spaces, along with the required signage for these
 spaces, must be located on the subject site and meet Illinois Accessibility Code
 requirements. The parking lot on the north side of the building and the driveway
 and parking lot on the east side of the building presently have cracked pavement
 and potholes and the lots and driveway must be patched, sealcoated, and restriped.
 All parking spaces must be kept clear of any dumpsters, propane cages, wooden
 pallets, and debris, and must be shared and not designated for any particular user.
 An updated site plan must be provided to indicate the location of the handicapped
 accessible and bicycle parking spaces.
 No parking is permitted within the driveway to the west of the building.
 Additionally, the marked parking spaces in the circular driveway adjacent to the
 entrance to 7410 Niles Center Road must be removed as parking is not permitted
 within this driveway.
 Forestry Division
 The Forestry Division requests that the landscape plan be modified in order to
 prevent blocking the view of vehicles exiting onto Niles Center Road from the
 northern driveway of the police station. Forestry staff recommends that either the
 easternmost row of roses that are south of the southern driveway be removed or all
 three rows of these roses south of the southern driveway be replaced entirely with
 Little Grapeleaf daylilies, or other low-growing species.
 Fire Department
 The Fire Department recommends approval of the special use permit, but requires
 that the moving trucks and trailers that are currently parked on the west side of the
 building be removed and relocated to the spaces within the parking lot because they
 are obstructing emergency vehicle access to the west side of the building.
 Additionally, the propane storage racks that are used by the tenants at 7410 Niles
 Center Road must be protected by safety barriers that meet local and state code
 requirements. The storage racks presently have no such protection.
 Planning Division
 Staff supports the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for truck and freight
 transportation services. There should be little to no impact upon the other 2 tenants
 that share the subject site with the moving company because the moving company

 3 of 9
 utilizes a separate parking lot on the opposite side of the building. The moving
 trucks that are currently parked within the driveway along the west side of the
 building must be relocated out of the driveway and parked within the southern
 parking lot. This driveway, which is designed to handle one-way northbound traffic,
 must be kept free of vehicles in order to allow for unobstructed through access for
 larger trucks, including emergency vehicles.
 Address numbers which refer to the respective businesses that they provide access
 to must be placed at all points of entry to the building. The address numbers must
 be no less than 4 inches in height and contrast with the surface onto which they are
 applied. A minimum of 3 bicycle parking spaces must be provided in compliance
 with §118-221 and §118-222 of the Skokie Village Code and be located within 40
 feet of one of the front entrances to the business.
 Prior to the hearing before the Board of Trustees, the petitioner must submit to the
 Planning Division a tax form consolidating the 2 parcels that it currently owns (10-
 28-313-003-0000 and 10-28-313-030-0000) and required filing fees.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION

Case Description

2014-2P – Special Use Permit: 7400 Niles Center Road
7400 Niles Center, LLC, on behalf of STI Moving & Storage, Inc., requests a special use
permit for truck and freight transportation services at 7400 Niles Center Road in an M1
Office Assembly district and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this
case.
PINs: 10-28-313-003-0000 & 10-28-313-030-0000

Discussion and Interested Parties

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

 Sasha Cincar, President of STI Moving & Storage, Inc. presented the case. The
chairman asked Mr. Cincar if he had any additional information to provide. He stated
that while his operation takes place on the south end of the building, most of the
comments made by staff were for the other sides of the building. Some landscaping
needs to be moved, the parking lots & driveways need attention, and old signage
removed. He didn’t understand how this relates to his case. The chairman answered that
a review of the property is made as part of the permit process and issues that are not
compliant with current code need to be addressed. The chairman suggested that he talk
with the landlord about the changes that need to be made at the site.

In particular, the petitioner talked about the 2 marked parking spaces that are located in
the circular driveway near the entrance of 7410 Niles Center Road. There are elderly
employees, ages 87 & 97, who work every day for another tenant. They need parking in
close proximity to the entrance. A commissioner suggested that the usefulness of the 2
spaces should be pointed out to Traffic Engineering and perhaps they can review it again;
possibly making them handicap spaces.

Staff reviewed the recommended conditions. It was noted that there are water ponding
issues adjacent to the site and the Engineering Division is in the process of studying
storm water controls and would like permission to enter the subject site for further study
and to make the necessary changes. Condition #5 regarding vehicles not parking on the
west side has been discussed in the related case (2014-1P) and will be amended. The
propane tanks on site will need proper protection. Staff is requiring a revised site plan
showing the area of the warehouse that he is utilizing. Mr. Cincar stated that the previous

448334 Plan Commission meeting minutes 3/6/14 Case 2014-2P
tenant is going through the bankruptcy course and still has inventory in the warehouse
which cannot be moved. The same goes for the signage.

The Community Development director added that parking across the striped lines is
acceptable to Traffic Engineering. He also reiterated that Village rules override the
tenant leases and all vehicles can park in all spaces. The commissioners can require
however, as a condition of the special use, that certain parking spaces be utilized first
before using others.

Recommendation and Voting

The Plan Commission made a motion to approve the case as amended. The vote was 9
ayes and 0 nays.

Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, April 23, 2014


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case: 2014-3P: Special Use Permit
 8140 McCormick Boulevard #138 (other technical, trade, and specialty school)

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its March 20, 2014, meeting, the Plan Commission heard a request for a special use
permit for an other technical, trade, and specialty school at 8140 McCormick Boulevard
#138, in an M3 Industry district and any relief that may be discovered during the
review of this case.
An other technical, trade, and specialty school requires a special use permit in the M3
Industry district, due to its potential adverse impact upon the immediate neighborhood
and the Village as a whole.
The proposed school, Keshet’s GADOL Program, was established in 2002 in
collaboration with the Jewish Vocational Service (JVS) and the University of Illinois, to
bridge the gap that now exists in the community-based programs serving young adults
with developmental disabilities. Keshet offers state-of-the-art vocational opportunities
under the leadership of supportive staff of directors and specialists, all trained to enable
adults with developmental disabilities to reach their potential.
The Plan Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation to grant the special use
permit, subject to conditions.
This request is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible
with existing or allowable uses of adjacent properties. An adjacent property, 8111 St.
Louis Avenue, already has a specialty school tenant.
A total of 10 parking spaces, at a rate of 1 space/employee, have been deemed
appropriate to accommodate all 10 staff members. All students will be dropped-off and
picked-up, as the students are unable to drive.
No exterior changes to the building or signage are proposed.

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

 and specialty school at 8140 McCormick Boulevard #138, in an
 M3 Industry district and any relief that may be discovered
 during the review of this case. PIN: 10-23-406-006-0000
Petitioner Im Daas Torah Investments, LLC, and Shem Tov, LLC, on
 behalf of The Sidney and Lisa Glenner CADOL Program
Size of Site 193,398 square feet (4.44 acres) with 226.99 feet of frontage
 on McCormick Boulevard, 785 feet of frontage on Cleveland
 Avenue, and 20.90 feet of sight distance triangle at the
 intersection.

  The subject property is not directly served by mass transit routes; however, CTA
 Bus Route 97 passes by on Oakton Street approximately a ¼-mile away from the
 proposed GADOL tenant space.

  Nearby properties with special use permits (SUPs) are a resident manager’s
 quarters for an existing public storage facility at 8050 McCormick Boulevard (SUP
 204), a catering establishment with retail sales at 8170 McCormick Boulevard
 (SUP 375 and on this subject property), and a specialty school at 8111 St. Louis
 Avenue (SUP 410).


STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
 GADOL Program
 For a typical young adult, turning 21 often marks a milestone entering adulthood. For
 individuals with developmental disabilities, this milestone is often a challenging time,
 especially for parents. As our young challenged adults exit the entitled educational system
 at 22, there is far less support than what was previously provided in school. Particularly in
 Illinois, where there is a massive shortage of funding and very few opportunities for them to
 work and live independently. Keshet has stepped and created its own GADOL Program –
 Giving Adults Daily Opportunities for Living.
 Keshet’s GADOL Program was established in 2002 in collaboration with the Jewish
 Vocational Service (JVS) and the University of Illinois, to bridge the gap that now exists in
 the community-based programs serving young adults with developmental disabilities.
 Keshet offers state-of-the-art vocational opportunities under the leadership of supportive
 staff of directors and specialists, all trained to enable adults with developmental disabilities
 to reach their potential.
 They are looking to lease space in the WiFi Building located at 8140 McCormick Boulevard,
 Suite 138, and it would be a wonderful addition to the site as well as the area. This request
 is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and it will not adversely affect
 adjacent properties, in fact it can be a benefit. This request is compatible with existing or
 allowable uses of adjacent properties, and in fact, one of the adjacent properties already
 has a specialty school tenant. This request will not have any effect on the natural
 environment and will not adversely affect public health, safety, and welfare. The use will
 not create any undue traffic congestion. Since none of the participants can legally drive,
 they are all dropped off and picked up, there will not be any parking issues onsite as well.
 Lastly, the request conforms to all applicable provisions of this code, except where relief is
 granted with this request.


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


Health Department
The Health Department requests detailed information on the services and/or programs
this facility will supply for the young adults with developmental disabilities.

If any food product will be supplied or prepared on-site, the kitchen must meet all
Health Department requirements for food preparation.
The proposed floor plan shows a small kitchenette with limited sinks and does not meet
Health Department requirements to prepare food.
Detailed plans for permit review, with kitchen specifications (including equipment,
plumbing, electrical, etc. layouts), are required.


Engineering Division
The Engineering Division has reviewed the plan, and has no objections to the
petitioner’s request, subject to the following:
 1. Providing a total of 10 parking spaces, at a rate of 1 space/employee.
 2. Providing the proper access aisles for the accessible parking spaces on the south
 side of the building.
 3. Applying for a driveway permit or restoring the parkway and lawn area directly
 adjacent to the overhead door near Kimball Avenue on the north elevation.
 4. Patching pot holes and sealing and restriping the parking lot.
 5. Remounting the concrete wheel stops.


Planning Division
A specialty school requires a special use permit in the M3 Industry district, due to its
potential adverse impact upon the immediate neighborhood and the Village as a whole.
The Planning Division recommends approval of the special use permit for the proposed
other technical, trade, and specialty school at 8140 McCormick Boulevard, #138. This
recommendation is subject to the conditions listed later in this staff report.
No exterior changes to the building or signage are being proposed. ADA building
access for this tenant space will be provided with an elevator approximately 30 feet
from the closest building entrance, and a ramp on the south side of the building near
the east end of the building.
The Village’s analysis of the proposal assumes that all 10 staff members will drive and
all 26 students will be dropped-off and picked-up, as the students are unable to drive.
The previously-approved landscape plan was most recently inspected in 2008. Post-
winter maintenance must be conducted by the property owner, and, assuming this
proposal is approved by the Plan Commission and the Village Board of Trustees, an
inspection will be conducted by staff prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit to operate an
other technical, trade, and specialty school at 8140 McCormick Boulevard #138 be
APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the
recommended and standard special use permit conditions.

PIN: 10-23-406-006-0000

Discussion and Interested Parties

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

 Kenny Landsman on behalf of the property owner, Weiss Properties, presented the case.
He explained the Keshet Organization has various wonderful vocational opportunities for
developmentally challenged individuals from birth to adulthood. One such program,
“Transitions”, is currently an allowable use located in an adjacent building serving
special needs children 18 to adult. This GADOL (Hebrew word for adult) program was
established in collaboration with Jewish Vocational Services and the University of
Illinois in 2002. The program’s directors and specialists teach young adults age 22 to 30
how to reach their potential to live and work in the community. All 20 participants
already have jobs.

A commissioner commented that the Marriot Corporation has a similar program and
asked if it was an affiliate. The petitioner stated that Sidney and Lisa Glenner started this
private Jewish foundation out of need; they realized their daughter required such
supportive services.

Another commissioner asked how much space the school will occupy. The petitioner
stated that there are other tenants in the building and since DCFS and North Cook
Academy moved out, GADOL will be taking about 4,000 sq. feet for their program.

After reviewing the floor plan drawing, a commissioner questioned why there are several
offices but no classrooms. The petitioner stated most activities are done either in 1:1
ratio, small groups or hands on in open areas. The space is set up for vocational training
so a typical classroom setting is not needed.

Another commissioner commented that if this use is approved, both programs will benefit
each other as neighbors.

The Health Department, in their written comments, requires compliance with kitchen
equipment, plumbing & electrical if food is supplied or prepared on site. The petitioner
stated that a kitchen will be built on site so the students can be taught to be comfortable
maneuvering in the kitchen.

A commissioner inquired about the parking analysis. According to the Engineering
Division, parking is adequate and there will not be any adverse parking effects as the
students do not drive and there are only 10 staff members.

The Community Development director requested that the staff report be entered into the
record as written. He stated that staff is very supportive of this specialty school and only
minor maintenance issues need to be addressed.

The petitioner answered that any comments or requirements made by the Village will be
taken care of.
