Memorandum


TO: Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees

FROM: Paul Luke, Chairman
 Skokie Plan Commission

DATE: October 21, 2015

SUBJECT: CASE 2014-17P – A REQUEST BY FLORAL AVENUE, LLC FOR AN
 AMENDMENT TO SITE PLAN APPROVAL ORDINANCE #14-9-Z-
 4094 THROUGH THE MODIFIED REVIEW PROCEDURE FOR THE
 RESIDENTIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AT 8063-8115 FLORAL
 AVENUE, 8126-8160 FLORAL AVENUE, AND 5135-5145
 CLEVELAND STREET.

The Community Development Department received a request from Floral Avenue, LLC, the
contract purchasers of the property at 8063-8115 Floral Avenue, 8126-8160 Floral Avenue
and 5135-5145 Cleveland Street in a R3 Combined Housing and CX Core Mixed-use
Districts, to make an amendment to Site Plan Approval Ordinance #14-9-Z-4094 through the
modified review procedure. The 2014 site plan approval ordinance granted approval of a 24-
unit single-family planned development containing small lots with two different housing
types. The ordinance also granted 19 areas of relief from the Zoning Chapter requirements.

The ordinance specifically set dates in several conditions as to when building permits must
be applied for and issued, when new sidewalks are installed, when parkway improvements
are made and when the Phase 1 alley is to be completed. Although the Phase 1 portion has
been sold out, several homes are still under construction and Phase 2 marketing is just getting
underway. Thus, it will not be possible to achieve completion of work as specified in the
ordinance. The Petitioners are thus requesting that all completion dates be moved to
December 31, 2016 and the alley be completed in the spring of 2016 when major work on the
Phase 1 will be completed. The Petitioner is also requesting to eliminate condition #15
which is no longer needed as work has been completed and the clarification of condition #28
to indicate that the Village will pay for 4 ft. of the 20 ft. north/south alley to be constructed in
Phase 2.

The Corporation Counsel, Plan Commission Chairman, and Community Development
Director reviewed the petitioner’s request. It our opinion that the proposed request is in
substantial compliance with the intent of the original site plan approval ordinance. The
modifications to the conditions are necessary for the completion of the development.

Thus, it is respectfully recommended that the request be approved and that the existing Site
Plan Approval Ordinance #14-9-Z-4094 be amended by changing conditions #14, #21, #22,
and #27 to have amended dates of completion, to delete condition #15, and clarify condition


483011
#28. The new language is to read as follows with all new language highlighted and in bold
print:

 14. Building permits must be applied for and issued on all lots in the planned
 development by January 6, 2016 December 31, 2016. This ordinance may be
 extended beyond that point with a modified review approval by the Village Board
 prior to said date;
 15. The Developer shall provide a consistent pavement width on Floral Avenue by
 extending the widening the street along the west side of Floral to align with the
 existing curb line adjacent to Phase 1 Lots 1-7 so that there is no change (taper) in
 street width adjacent to the planned development;
 21. The Developer shall install new public sidewalks, 5 feet wide, adjacent to the
 development site prior to occupancy of any unit on a lot adjacent to a public street or
 escrow 110% of the cost of the installation. The Developer shall install all sidewalks

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its October 15, 2015, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s
request for site plan approval for a 3-lot planned development in a B3 Business zoning
district that includes 3 buildings, 2 drive-through facilities, shared driveways, surface
parking, and storm water retention, and any other relief discovered during the review of
this case. The development is going to be named Emerson Crossing.
The site currently contains the Rodeway Inn hotel and a vacant restaurant east of
Skokie Boulevard, south of Emerson Street, and west of Gross Point Road. The
proposed plan includes a 3,800 ft2 Bank of America with a 2-lane drive through facility
(2015-34P), a 5,000 ft2 Chick-fil-A restaurant with a 2-lane drive-through facility (2015-
32P), and 6,550 ft2 AAA automotive repair facility (2015-33P) that will also include a
3,700 ft2 area for insurance sales and travel services. The plan proposes one full access
driveway on Emerson and a right-in/right-out driveway on Skokie Boulevard. Clear
pedestrian pathways connect all the buildings on the site as well as the public sidewalk
system on all 3 streets. New sidewalks will be provided on the south side of Emerson
where none had previously existed, and the power lines and poles will also be removed
at that location. Trees will be planted on the site as well as perimeter parking lot
landscaping screening.
No relief was discovered for the site plan approval during the review of this case.
Discussion from the Commission included:
 1. Distribution of trash receptacles. Staff stated that the location and number of
 trash receptacles will be determined by the Health Department.
 2. Off-site traffic circulation, particularly timing at the Emerson/Skokie traffic signal.
 The petitioner’s traffic engineer stated that adjustments can be made if it
 becomes a problem, but IDOT will require actual traffic counts before it will
 change signal timing.

 1 of 19
 3. Bank consolidation. The petitioner testified that the proposed Bank of America is
 a consolidation of the Old Orchard/Skokie Boulevard and Dempster/Skokie
 Boulevard branches, both key corners for potential reuse.
Staff requested additional landscaping east of the AAA building in front of the faux
garage doors facing Gross Point Road and additional interior parking lot landscaping for
the east-west protected pedestrian walkway. Landscaping was increased within and
around the site. A total of 50 new trees will be planted with only 14 being removed to
prepare the site for development.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal Notice was properly posted, advertised and delivered to all property owners in the
area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Notice was reviewed and
ruled to be proper and correct. One interested party spoke at the hearing, a nearby
resident who offered an alternative to the proposed development that would retain a
hotel. The Commission heard the proposal and then directed the party to speak to the
developer.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The building façades and wall signage reviews for each of the buildings are included in
their respective special use permit Plan Commission reports. The ground signage and
landscaping were reviewed at the October 14, 2015 Appearance Commission meeting
(2015-088A). All the ground signage was modified to conform with the Signs chapter
regulations.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays, and 2 commissioners
absent, that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval for a 3-lot planned
development in a B3 Business zoning district that includes 3 buildings, 2 drive-through

 Engineering Division
 The Engineering Division has determined that the 91 vehicle and 5 bicycle parking
 spaces are required. The parking requirements are met.
 Engineering is also requiring that the petitioner make various modifications to the
 plan including lane marking modifications on Emerson Street, coordinate lane
 marking changes in the driveway north of the site, indicate lighting locations, and
 other minor modifications. A full list of required modifications is in Recommended
 Condition 1.


 Forestry Division
 The Forestry Division is requesting that the incomplete tree survey table be
 completed on the Landscaping Plan and add a column to the tree removal permit
 fee. Some minor tree species modifications are requested to avoid conflicts with
 overhead wires on Gross Point Road.


 Planning Division
 The Planning Division supports the petition. It should be noted that all the items
 requested by Staff during the preliminary plan review were corrected including
 strong pedestrian connectivity within and around the site, emergency vehicle
 circulation, driveway alignments, overhead utility removal, safety concerns with the
 restaurant drive-through facility, reducing the number of drive-through lanes for the
 bank, and increasing the amount of business activity on the site.
 The plan has adequate parking to accommodate future changes in use.
 Some minor changes, including bicycle parking and landscaping modifications and
 adjustments to the locations of ground signs are included in Recommended
 Condition 1 and 2. Separate Landscape Maintenance Agreements will be filled for
 each of the lots once the master plan is finalized.

facilities, shared driveways, surface parking, and storm water detention, be
APPROVED subject to the attached Positive Findings of Fact and Recommended Site
Plan Approval Conditions listed below.


RECOMMENDED SITE PLAN APPROVAL CONDITIONS
1. Prior to the hearing of this case before the Board of Trustees, the petitioner must
 submit to the Planning Division a revised and dated site plan with the following
 changes:
 a. Add a westbound left turn lane for the site access from Emerson Street
 b. Resolve the elevation drop-off from the public sidewalk on Skokie Blvd. to the
 site. The Traffic Study recommends reconstruction of the sidewalk along Skokie
 Boulevard.
 c. Show the existing street light poles near the driveway on Skokie Boulevard and
 investigate if the driveway is in conflict with any light poles or other utilities.
 d. Coordinate with the shopping center on the north side of Emerson Street to
 modify the pavement markings in their driveway and indicate those off-site
 modifications on the site plan.
 e. Remove all of the proposed “yield here to pedestrians” signs for the east-west
 pedestrian connection.
 f. Provide the width of the sidewalk on the north side of the restaurant and
 eliminate the grade change in this walk approaching the raised crosswalk. This
 grade change is unnecessary because the raised crosswalk in front of the main
 entrance should be at the same elevation as the top of the curb.
 g. Indicate a handicap ramp location with depressed curb south of the crosswalk
 connecting the bank and the restaurant to get to the raised crosswalk in the
 restaurant drive-through lanes.
 h. Provide width of the sidewalk connections to Skokie Boulevard, Emerson Street
 and Gross Point Road. These should be a minimum of 5’ wide.
 i. The proposed bicycle rack south of the AAA building must be moved closer to the
 entrance of the AAA building.
 j. Provide detail of the bike racks consistent with §118-221 of the Village Code and
 orient the bicycle parking space for the AAA building and the restaurant so to
 that the 2’ side is adjacent to a sidewalk at least 5’ wide.
 k. Provide a 5’ Ladder Crosswalk connecting the sidewalks across the drive-through
 exit at the northwest corner of the bank site.
 l. Provide a stop bar for the proposed stop sign at the pedestrian crossing in the
 drive-through lanes for the restaurant.
 m. All the parking spaces must be shared.

 n. Show parking lot lighting that meets Illuminating Engineering Society of North
 America standards and be full cut-off design. (A photometrics plan will be
 required when plans are submitted for construction.)
 o. Add the all locations of ground signage. Ground signs cannot be located within
 site distance triangles and must conform to the size requirements in the Village
 Code.
2. Prior to the hearing of this case before the Board of Trustees, the petitioner must
 submit to the Planning Division a revised and dated landscape plan for approval with
 the following changes:
 a. Complete the tree survey table and add a column to the tree removal permit fee.
 b. Replace the tree species under 3-phase wires along Gross Point Road with low
 growing species.

Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to property owners in the area
of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was determined by Corporation
Counsel that notice was proper and correct for all cases.
The chairman advised all that the Plan Commission is a recommending body to the Village
Trustees and the final decisions for these cases will be determined at a future meeting of
the Village Board.
All of the cases encompass the same site and therefore were discussed together. However,
each case was voted on separately.
The property owner and developer, Edwin Vdovets, is familiar to the Plan Commission as he
has developed the Walgreens at Dempster Street and Crawford Avenue. He also acted as a
consultant helping to retain Kaufman’s Deli in Skokie.
He has owned the subject property since 2011. The Rodeway Inn is an old and
deteriorating use and needs to be replaced. He has been working with staff and his
proposal is exactly what the Comprehensive Plan recommends. He will put 3 strong service
uses in the Old Orchard trade area along Skokie Boulevard.
Mark Gershon, attorney from Polsinelli spoke of the request to subdivide 2 lots into 3 lots
and a land dedication along Emerson Street widening it to bring the property into
compliance.
Glen Christensen of Manhard Consulting provided the surveying, site plan, landscaping plan
and civil engineering plans. He summarized the site plan stating that a curb cut will be
eliminated and access will be from 2 locations – one lining up with the Jewel across
Emerson and one off of Skokie Boulevard which will be a right in, right out. They will use 3
monument signs as staff suggested. Entry signs will be 30 inches rather than the 4 feet
indicated on the plans submitted. He pointed out that the existing site does not have any
storm water detention but the new development will have underground detention.
The development and signage were reviewed and approved unanimously at the Appearance
Commission meeting the previous night, October 14, 2015.
Michael Lovesee of Bank of America spoke of bank demographics and introduced Bert
Boldiszar, the operations manager from Gensler Architects. He stated that the design group
has partnered with Bank of America for 48 years. He showed the floor plan for the bank
and pointed out that the main entrance for the bank will be facing Skokie Boulevard and
the drive-through will be facing Emerson. The Appearance Commission asked for more
interest on the north side and mentioned that more color was needed to complement the
other 2 buildings.
A commissioner asked how this bank relates to the 2 other Bank of America locations close
by at Dempster and Skokie and Old Orchard and Skokie. Will this location be a host or a

satellite branch? Steve Best from Jones Lang LaSalle, the bank’s real estate management
firm, stated that there has been no discussion whether they will remain operational or sold
off.
Joe Tocco of Chik-Fil-A gave a brief introduction of the restaurant. He stated that
according to a recent survey from Market Watch, Chik-Fil-A was given the title “most
beloved fast food restaurant”. They are asking for sign relief stating that 2 additional signs
are needed. They want to be in Skokie neighboring Old Orchard because of its strong trade
market. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
A commissioner asked about outdoor dining. Mr. Tocco stated there will be an outdoor
patio consisting of 4 tables. The commissioner then inquired about trash receptacles as this
was a recent topic of discussion at a Village Board meeting.
Mr. Tocco stated that there will be a trash dumpster in the rear service yard enclosure and
trash receptacles on the east side by the patio and near the front door.
Another commissioner asked if a drive-through trash chute was considered. He also asked
about the 23-car stacking aisle and the emissions from idling cars. He also questioned
whether 2 windows were enough. Mr. Tocco answered that other locations have followed
the same model and are successful. This location is being built for growth and maybe in 5
years will need all that stacking space. The drive-through has about 7 or 8 people to
process orders. From the time a car is at the end of the line to the pick-up window is about
5-7 minutes. At busy times, they will take orders outside as Portillo’s does. The
commissioner followed up questioning if they will have a pull over spot for large orders.
Mr. Tocco stated that there aren’t any dedicated spaces right now- it hasn’t been an issue.
Beth Mosher, Director of Public Affairs for AAA, presented a video showing the many facets
of AAA. Most people are familiar with the towing services and the travel membership club
but they also are an insurance company and operate driving schools. They are adding car
repair to their list of services.
A commissioner asked if all the services will be available at this location. Ms. Mosher
answered there will not be a driving school or any financial services.
Another commissioner asked about a nearby location on Dempster Street. Ms. Mosher
stated that location sold AAA insurance only and has relocated to Chicago.
Another commissioner asked about the Wilmette location. Ms. Mosher said that a decision
hasn’t been made if that office will close.
Ryan Doherty of ai Design Group spoke of the 12 year relationship with AAA. They
specialize in automotive design and said that they were well received at the Appearance
Commission meeting of the previous night. They also are requesting 2 additional wall signs
on the building.
Another commissioner inquired about hours of operation. They will be open 6 days a week
from 7 AM to 6 PM on Monday through Friday and from 8AM to 4 PM on Saturdays. The
car care center will be open to the public and is not exclusion to members only. There will
not be any collision or painting work done on the site.

Another commissioner questioned the faux service doors that cannot open. He asked about
noise and smells especially being close to a school across the street and a restaurant in the
same development. He inquired if the garage area had its own HVAC system. Ms. Mosher
answered that a noise consultant was used and in nice weather, the operational service
doors will be open. The commissioner asked if there were any other AAA locations within
close proximity to a restaurant. Ms. Mosher named the North Riverside location is near a
Red Robin restaurant and the Wheaton location backs up to a residential neighborhood.
Staff mentioned that the service bay doors face Emerson Street.
Tim Doran of Gewalt Hamilton spoke of the traffic analysis. The area is auto-centric and is
commercial on 3 sides. Traffic for the Bank of America and Chik-Fil-A is considered pass-by
while the AAA is considered a destination place. Deliveries will be done after peak hours
usually in the afternoon by 2 large trucks a week. He commented that at the Chik-Fil-A
location in Vernon Hills, there were 18 cars in the stacking lane and from the time when he
ordered, it took 90 seconds to pick-up his lunch.
A commissioner commented about the traffic light at Emerson and Skokie Boulevard
allowing only a limited number of cars to turn left going south. Mr. Doran answered that
they cannot talk to IDOT about it without having time to work it first. They can go to IDOT
in the future.
Another commissioner offered that once you get stuck at that light, you find another way to
move around the area.
Mr. Vdovets responded to a question regarding the Bank of America. He said that this
branch is a consolidation of the 2 nearby locations at Old Orchard and Dempster Street
which will open up 2 new development areas.
In closing, Mr. Gershon stated that the proposed uses are appropriate for the location and
will affect the area positively. He also commented that it is a pleasure to work with staff
from Skokie – they are very knowledgeable and professional.
Pete Peyer stated that the Appearance Commission, at their Oct. 14, 2015 meeting,
unanimously approved all the requests including relief for signage and elevations and
Certificates of Appropriateness were received.
Staff requested that all 5 staff reports be accepted into the record as presented. As part of
the subdivision case, the land dedication of 57.75 feet will allow adequate space for public
sidewalks and street lighting. The Engineering Division stated in their written comments,
the surveys do not show the correct locations of water mains and would like a revised plan.
As stated previously, staff has been working with the petitioner for a long time on site plan
approval. They are comfortable with the end result. The Health Department will determine
the number of trash cans necessary and trash violations will be ticketed. There will be
significant pedestrian traffic throughout the site and the internal connectivity will be via
crosswalks. There will be barrier fencing so that people don’t walk through the bushes and
“pedestrian crossing” and “yield to pedestrians” signage. Additional landscaping is required
by the faux doors with foundation plantings so that people don’t drive up to the non-
operational doors. Overhead wires will come down and be placed underground. All parking
will be shared.

There were no staff comments regarding the AAA as discussion was thorough.
Staff explained that the number of drive-through lanes for the bank facility was reduced to
2 lanes. Video tellers will service the drive-through and be available from 7 AM to 10 PM.
Melvin Perlman, 43-year resident of Skokie, commented that recently he heard on 60
Minutes that the federal government is looking for space in hotels for Syrian refugees. He
suggested that 35 of the 135 rooms of the Rodeway Inn should be used. The rooms will be
renovated by the federal government. The plumbing and electrical problems will all be
fixed. He uses the hotel daily for swimming and physical therapy. The other 100 rooms can
be open to the public. The chairman told Mr. Perlman that the Plan Commission cannot
designate to the property owners what to do with their property. He needs to talk to the
owners directly.
A commissioner stated that he wanted to add a condition to the special use request for
Chik-Fil-A to add drop-chute garbage cans to the drive-through lanes. They have no
objections to the request. Staff mentioned that the location is a problem. They often get
hit and the Health Department is asking for existing ones to be removed. The
commissioner rescinded his request.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its October 15, 2015, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s
request for a special use permit for a limited service restaurant with a 2-lane drive-
through facility in a B3 Business district, plus relief from §82-28(b)(1)a. to allow 2
additional wall signs facing a parking lot, and any relief discovered during the review of
this case.
Chick-fil-A proposes a 136-seat, 4,971 ft2 restaurant with a double drive-through facility
at 9341 Skokie Boulevard. Outdoor dining for 16 people is also included in the plan.
Staff worked extensively with the developer to improve the safety of the design,
including using raised crosswalks to clearly indicate to drivers in the queue where
pedestrians will be crossing. Access to the crosswalks is limited by barrier fencing to
discourage patrons from weaving through cars.
Discussion from the Commission included:
 1. Distribution of trash receptacles. Staff stated that the location and number of
 trash receptacles will be determined by the Health Department.
 2. The negative environmental impact of such a large drive-through facility.
 3. Off-site traffic circulation, particularly timing at the Emerson/Skokie traffic signal.
 The petitioner’s traffic engineer stated that adjustments can be made if it
 becomes a problem, but IDOT will require actual traffic counts before it will
 change signal timing.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal Notice was properly posted, advertised and delivered to all property owners in the
area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Notice was reviewed and
ruled to be proper and correct. No interested party spoke at the hearing about this
case.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
 The petitioner contends that [the] Village’s Comprehensive Plan includes the Subject
 Property in Sector H – Old Orchard. Pursuant to the Land Use Plan contained in the
 Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is designated for retail/service employment and is
 part of the significant Old Orchard retail and service area. The proposed restaurant is a
 service facility and is recognized as such in the Comprehensive Plan. As further provided in
 the Comprehensive Plan, “when retail uses are near services, people can save travel trips …
 reducing traffic and pollution”. The Subject Property is strongly oriented to provide services
 to the surrounding retail locations as well as the community. Its location near some of the
 most intense retail developments in the community, along significant rights-of-way, ensures
 that these services facilities are property located to meet the intents of the Comprehensive
 Plan, including “promoting a balanced mix of retail and services …”.
This request is for a 136-seat, 4,971 ft2 limited service restaurant with drive-through
facility at 9341 Skokie Boulevard with a double drive-through lane. Outdoor dining for
16 people is also included in the plan. Staff worked extensively with the developer to
improve the safety of the design, including using raised crosswalks to clearly indicate to
drivers in the queue where pedestrian will be crossing. Access to the crosswalks is
limited by barrier fencing to prevent patrons from weaving through cars.


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.

 7 of 14
Health Department
The Health Department will determine the number of outdoor trash receptacles for the
restaurant including the outdoor dining area.


Engineering Division
Please see Case 2015-31P for traffic- and civil-related comments for site plan. Staff still
has concerns with the access to the 2 assessable parking spaces divided by double
drive-through lane and will require the State of Illinois to certify the locations prior to
the issuance of building permits.


Planning Division
Please see Case 2015-31P for planning-related comments for the site plan. In addition,
staff has no objections with the sign relief request under consideration by the
Appearance Commission on Wednesday, October 14, 2015. A verbal report will be
provided at the Thursday, October 15, Plan Commission meeting.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The building exterior elevations and signage will be reviewed at the Appearance
Commission’s October 14, 2015 meeting. The Commission’s recommendations will be
presented to the Plan Commission at its October 15th meeting. It is suggested that the
faux window detail from the north elevation be added to the east elevation. Relief will
be needed for two of the wall signs, as they are in addition to the two signs with frontage
on Skokie Boulevard and Gross Point Road.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit to operate a
limited service restaurant with a 2-lane drive-through facility at 9341 Skokie Boulevard
be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the
recommended and standard special use permit conditions. Staff further recommends
that relief be granted from §82-26(b)(1)a. of the Sign Code, to allow the north and
south wall signs.

Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to property owners in the area
of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was determined by Corporation
Counsel that notice was proper and correct for all cases.
The chairman advised all that the Plan Commission is a recommending body to the Village
Trustees and the final decisions for these cases will be determined at a future meeting of
the Village Board.
All of the cases encompass the same site and therefore were discussed together. However,
each case was voted on separately.
The property owner and developer, Edwin Vdovets, is familiar to the Plan Commission as he
has developed the Walgreens at Dempster Street and Crawford Avenue. He also acted as a
consultant helping to retain Kaufman’s Deli in Skokie.
He has owned the subject property since 2011. The Rodeway Inn is an old and
deteriorating use and needs to be replaced. He has been working with staff and his
proposal is exactly what the Comprehensive Plan recommends. He will put 3 strong service
uses in the Old Orchard trade area along Skokie Boulevard.
Mark Gershon, attorney from Polsinelli spoke of the request to subdivide 2 lots into 3 lots
and a land dedication along Emerson Street widening it to bring the property into
compliance.
Glen Christensen of Manhard Consulting provided the surveying, site plan, landscaping plan
and civil engineering plans. He summarized the site plan stating that a curb cut will be
eliminated and access will be from 2 locations – one lining up with the Jewel across
Emerson and one off of Skokie Boulevard which will be a right in, right out. They will use 3
monument signs as staff suggested. Entry signs will be 30 inches rather than the 4 feet
indicated on the plans submitted. He pointed out that the existing site does not have any
storm water detention but the new development will have underground detention.
The development and signage were reviewed and approved unanimously at the Appearance
Commission meeting the previous night, October 14, 2015.
Michael Lovesee of Bank of America spoke of bank demographics and introduced Bert
Boldiszar, the operations manager from Gensler Architects. He stated that the design group
has partnered with Bank of America for 48 years. He showed the floor plan for the bank
and pointed out that the main entrance for the bank will be facing Skokie Boulevard and
the drive-through will be facing Emerson. The Appearance Commission asked for more
interest on the north side and mentioned that more color was needed to complement the
other 2 buildings.
A commissioner asked how this bank relates to the 2 other Bank of America locations close
by at Dempster and Skokie and Old Orchard and Skokie. Will this location be a host or a

satellite branch? Steve Best from Jones Lang LaSalle, the bank’s real estate management
firm, stated that there has been no discussion whether they will remain operational or sold
off.
Joe Tocco of Chik-Fil-A gave a brief introduction of the restaurant. He stated that
according to a recent survey from Market Watch, Chik-Fil-A was given the title “most
beloved fast food restaurant”. They are asking for sign relief stating that 2 additional signs
are needed. They want to be in Skokie neighboring Old Orchard because of its strong trade
market. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
A commissioner asked about outdoor dining. Mr. Tocco stated there will be an outdoor
patio consisting of 4 tables. The commissioner then inquired about trash receptacles as this
was a recent topic of discussion at a Village Board meeting.
Mr. Tocco stated that there will be a trash dumpster in the rear service yard enclosure and
trash receptacles on the east side by the patio and near the front door.
Another commissioner asked if a drive-through trash chute was considered. He also asked
about the 23-car stacking aisle and the emissions from idling cars. He also questioned
whether 2 windows were enough. Mr. Tocco answered that other locations have followed
the same model and are successful. This location is being built for growth and maybe in 5
years will need all that stacking space. The drive-through has about 7 or 8 people to
process orders. From the time a car is at the end of the line to the pick-up window is about
5-7 minutes. At busy times, they will take orders outside as Portillo’s does. The
commissioner followed up questioning if they will have a pull over spot for large orders.
Mr. Tocco stated that there aren’t any dedicated spaces right now- it hasn’t been an issue.
Beth Mosher, Director of Public Affairs for AAA, presented a video showing the many facets
of AAA. Most people are familiar with the towing services and the travel membership club
but they also are an insurance company and operate driving schools. They are adding car
repair to their list of services.
A commissioner asked if all the services will be available at this location. Ms. Mosher
answered there will not be a driving school or any financial services.
Another commissioner asked about a nearby location on Dempster Street. Ms. Mosher
stated that location sold AAA insurance only and has relocated to Chicago.
Another commissioner asked about the Wilmette location. Ms. Mosher said that a decision
hasn’t been made if that office will close.
Ryan Doherty of ai Design Group spoke of the 12 year relationship with AAA. They
specialize in automotive design and said that they were well received at the Appearance
Commission meeting of the previous night. They also are requesting 2 additional wall signs
on the building.
Another commissioner inquired about hours of operation. They will be open 6 days a week
from 7 AM to 6 PM on Monday through Friday and from 8AM to 4 PM on Saturdays. The
car care center will be open to the public and is not exclusion to members only. There will
not be any collision or painting work done on the site.

Another commissioner questioned the faux service doors that cannot open. He asked about
noise and smells especially being close to a school across the street and a restaurant in the
same development. He inquired if the garage area had its own HVAC system. Ms. Mosher
answered that a noise consultant was used and in nice weather, the operational service
doors will be open. The commissioner asked if there were any other AAA locations within
close proximity to a restaurant. Ms. Mosher named the North Riverside location is near a
Red Robin restaurant and the Wheaton location backs up to a residential neighborhood.
Staff mentioned that the service bay doors face Emerson Street.
Tim Doran of Gewalt Hamilton spoke of the traffic analysis. The area is auto-centric and is
commercial on 3 sides. Traffic for the Bank of America and Chik-Fil-A is considered pass-by
while the AAA is considered a destination place. Deliveries will be done after peak hours
usually in the afternoon by 2 large trucks a week. He commented that at the Chik-Fil-A
location in Vernon Hills, there were 18 cars in the stacking lane and from the time when he
ordered, it took 90 seconds to pick-up his lunch.
A commissioner commented about the traffic light at Emerson and Skokie Boulevard
allowing only a limited number of cars to turn left going south. Mr. Doran answered that
they cannot talk to IDOT about it without having time to work it first. They can go to IDOT
in the future.
Another commissioner offered that once you get stuck at that light, you find another way to
move around the area.
Mr. Vdovets responded to a question regarding the Bank of America. He said that this
branch is a consolidation of the 2 nearby locations at Old Orchard and Dempster Street
which will open up 2 new development areas.
In closing, Mr. Gershon stated that the proposed uses are appropriate for the location and
will affect the area positively. He also commented that it is a pleasure to work with staff
from Skokie – they are very knowledgeable and professional.
Pete Peyer stated that the Appearance Commission, at their Oct. 14, 2015 meeting,
unanimously approved all the requests including relief for signage and elevations and
Certificates of Appropriateness were received.
Staff requested that all 5 staff reports be accepted into the record as presented. As part of
the subdivision case, the land dedication of 57.75 feet will allow adequate space for public
sidewalks and street lighting. The Engineering Division stated in their written comments,
the surveys do not show the correct locations of water mains and would like a revised plan.
As stated previously, staff has been working with the petitioner for a long time on site plan
approval. They are comfortable with the end result. The Health Department will determine
the number of trash cans necessary and trash violations will be ticketed. There will be
significant pedestrian traffic throughout the site and the internal connectivity will be via
crosswalks. There will be barrier fencing so that people don’t walk through the bushes and
“pedestrian crossing” and “yield to pedestrians” signage. Additional landscaping is required
by the faux doors with foundation plantings so that people don’t drive up to the non-
operational doors. Overhead wires will come down and be placed underground. All parking
will be shared.

There were no staff comments regarding the AAA as discussion was thorough.
Staff explained that the number of drive-through lanes for the bank facility was reduced to
2 lanes. Video tellers will service the drive-through and be available from 7 AM to 10 PM.
Melvin Perlman, 43-year resident of Skokie, commented that recently he heard on 60
Minutes that the federal government is looking for space in hotels for Syrian refugees. He
suggested that 35 of the 135 rooms of the Rodeway Inn should be used. The rooms will be
renovated by the federal government. The plumbing and electrical problems will all be
fixed. He uses the hotel daily for swimming and physical therapy. The other 100 rooms can
be open to the public. The chairman told Mr. Perlman that the Plan Commission cannot
designate to the property owners what to do with their property. He needs to talk to the
owners directly.
A commissioner stated that he wanted to add a condition to the special use request for
Chik-Fil-A to add drop-chute garbage cans to the drive-through lanes. They have no
objections to the request. Staff mentioned that the location is a problem. They often get
hit and the Health Department is asking for existing ones to be removed. The
commissioner rescinded his request.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During October 15, 2015, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the petitioner’s request
for a special use permit for an automotive repair facility in a B3 Business zoning district at
9349 Skokie Boulevard. In addition, relief was requested from §82-28(b)(1)a. of the
Village Code to allow 2 wall signs facing non-street frontage.
The proposed automotive repair facility will be a full service AAA facility including
membership services, travel and insurance services and 10 service bays. The building will
also contain support areas for the office operation and repair facility. AAA wall signs are
being proposed on 4 façades to help identify the building from Emerson Street, Gross
Point Road and the internal shopping center drives. Since the proposed facility will only
have street frontage along Emerson Street and Gross Point Road, the signage along the
other façades are not allowed per the Sign Code without relief. Automotive repair work
at the facility is limited to vehicles under 8,000 pounds and to the repair of brakes,
mufflers, upholstery work, tire repair and change, lubrication, tune-ups, and minor
engine, mechanical, or electrical repair.
The Plan Commission supported the petitioner’s request for sign relief as long as it
conformed to the Appearance Commission’s required modifications.
A commissioner questioned if the overhead bay doors would face the restaurant. A
representative for the user stated that the doors would face north toward Emerson Street
away from the restaurant. As the repair bay area will not be air conditioned the doors
will be open in the summer. A commissioner also questioned if the bay doors facing Gross
Point Road would be functional. The representative from AAA stated that the doors will
not open and are designed to show the service shop.

conditions, at the October 14, 2015 Appearance Commission meeting. The Commission
recommended the 3 wall signs as long as the signs were properly centered on the walls.
The building elevations were approved with the requirement that the north façade and a
blank wall be improved with spandrel glass or other features to be similar to other
facades with windows.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays, and 2 absent, that the
petitioner’s request for a special use permit for a limited automotive repair facility at 9349
Skokie Boulevard in a B3 Business zoning district be APPROVED, based upon the Plan
Commission Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the Plan Commission Recommended
Conditions listed below.

SITE INFORMATION
 A public sidewalk runs along Skokie Boulevard and Gross Point Road. There is no
 public sidewalk present along Emerson Street.
 Overhead utilities run along a portion of the south side of Emerson Street and along
 the west side of Gross Point Road.
 Driveways at Skokie Boulevard and Emerson Street provide access to the subject
 site
 The site is served by the CTA 54A North Cicero/Skokie Blvd and CTA 97 Skokie
 buses, and the Pace 208 Golf Road bus.
 The existing right-of-way along Emerson Street is of insufficient width to
 accommodate proper pedestrian facilities.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for an automotive repair facility in a B3
Business zoning district. In addition, relief is requested from §82-28(b)(1)a. of the
Village Code to allow 2 additional wall signs facing non-street frontages and any other
relief determined during the review of the request.
The proposed automotive repair facility will be a full service AAA facility including
membership services, travel and insurance services and 10 service bays. The building
will also contain support areas for the office operation and repair facility. AAA wall signs
are being proposed on 4 façades to help identify the building from Emerson Street,
Gross Point Road and the internal shopping center drives. Since the proposed facility
will only have street frontage along Emerson Street and Gross Point Road, the signage
along the other façades are not allowed per the Sign Code without relief.
The proposed use will occupy Lot 3 of the proposed Emerson Crossing Subdivision (case
2015-30P).

STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff
comments on the subject case were received from the Engineering and Planning
Divisions. The Engineering comments are included in Case 2015-31P. All other
departments returned the sheets with no comments.

 Planning Division
 The Planning Division site plan comments are included in the site plan approval Case
 2015-31P. The facility will include 10 repair bays and a waiting area for customers.
 It should be stated that automotive repair facilities in the B3 zoning district are
 limited in §118-82(d) to vehicles under 8,000 pounds and to the repair of brakes,
 mufflers, upholstery work, tire repair and change, lubrication, tune-ups, and minor
 VOSDOCS-#482324-v2-Staff_Report_for_2015-33P_SUP_for_Automotive_Repair_Facility_at_9349_Skokie_Boulevard.docx

 2 of 7
 engine, mechanical, or electrical repair. Any major automotive repairs and body
 work are expressly prohibited.
 Planning supports the requested signage relief, including relief for an additional sign
 facing the parking lot, subject to the modifications the Appearance Commission may
 request to limit the location, size and scope of the wall signs. The signs facing the
 parking lot are located by the entrance to the building and facing the closest
 driveway access to the subject site.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The building exterior elevations and signage will be reviewed at the Appearance
Commission’s October 14, 2015 meeting. The Commission’s recommendations will be
presented to the Plan Commission at its October 15th meeting. The northeast elevation
of the building will need to be upgraded to look like the other facades of the building as
it faces the intersection of Emerson Street and Gross Point Road.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for an
automotive repair facility in a B3 Business zoning district be APPROVED, based upon
the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended and standard
special use permit conditions listed below.

483054 Plan Commission meeting minutes 10/15/15
Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. It was determined
by Corporation Counsel that notice was proper and correct for all cases.

The chairman advised all that the Plan Commission is a recommending body to the
Village Trustees and the final decisions for these cases will be determined at a future
meeting of the Village Board.

All of the cases encompass the same site and therefore were discussed together.
However, each case was voted on separately.

The property owner and developer, Edwin Vdovets, is familiar to the Plan
Commission as he has developed the Walgreens at Dempster Street and Crawford
Avenue. He also acted as a consultant helping to retain Kaufman’s Deli in Skokie.

He has owned the subject property since 2011. The Rodeway Inn is an old and
deteriorating use and needs to be replaced. He has been working with staff and his
proposal is exactly what the Comprehensive Plan recommends. He will put 3 strong
service uses in the Old Orchard trade area along Skokie Boulevard.

Mark Gershon, attorney from Polsinelli spoke of the request to subdivide 2 lots into 3
lots and a land dedication along Emerson Street widening it to bring the property
into compliance.

Glen Christensen of Manhard Consulting provided the surveying, site plan,
landscaping plan and civil engineering plans. He summarized the site plan stating
that a curb cut will be eliminated and access will be from 2 locations – one lining up
with the Jewel across Emerson and one off of Skokie Boulevard which will be a right
in, right out. They will use 3 monument signs as staff suggested. Entry signs will be
30 inches rather than the 4 feet indicated on the plans submitted. He pointed out
that the existing site does not have any storm water detention but the new
development will have underground detention.

The development and signage were reviewed and approved unanimously at the
Appearance Commission meeting the previous night, October 14, 2015.

Michael Lovesee of Bank of America spoke of bank demographics and introduced
Bert Boldiszar, the operations manager from Gensler Architects. He stated that the
design group has partnered with Bank of America for 48 years. He showed the floor
plan for the bank and pointed out that the main entrance for the bank will be facing
Skokie Boulevard and the drive-through will be facing Emerson. The Appearance
Commission asked for more interest on the north side and mentioned that more
color was needed to complement the other 2 buildings.



483054 Plan Commission meeting minutes 10/15/15
A commissioner asked how this bank relates to the 2 other Bank of America
locations close by at Dempster and Skokie and Old Orchard and Skokie. Will this
location be a host or a satellite branch? Steve Best from Jones Lang LaSalle, the
bank’s real estate management firm, stated that there has been no discussion
whether they will remain operational or sold off.

Joe Tocco of Chik-Fil-A gave a brief introduction of the restaurant. He stated that
according to a recent survey from Market Watch, Chik-Fil-A was given the title “most
beloved fast food restaurant”. They are asking for sign relief stating that 2
additional signs are needed. They want to be in Skokie neighboring Old Orchard
because of its strong trade market. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.

A commissioner asked about outdoor dining. Mr. Tocco stated there will be an
outdoor patio consisting of 4 tables. The commissioner then inquired about trash
receptacles as this was a recent topic of discussion at a Village Board meeting.
Mr. Tocco stated that there will be a trash dumpster in the rear service yard
enclosure and trash receptacles on the east side by the patio and near the front
door.

Another commissioner asked if a drive-through trash chute was considered. He also
asked about the 23-car stacking aisle and the emissions from idling cars. He also
questioned whether 2 windows were enough. Mr. Tocco answered that other
locations have followed the same model and are successful. This location is being
built for growth and maybe in 5 years will need all that stacking space. The drive-
through has about 7 or 8 people to process orders. From the time a car is at the
end of the line to the pick-up window is about 5-7 minutes. At busy times, they will
take orders outside as Portillo’s does. The commissioner followed up questioning if
they will have a pull over spot for large orders. Mr. Tocco stated that there aren’t
any dedicated spaces right now- it hasn’t been an issue.

Beth Mosher, Director of Public Affairs for AAA, presented a video showing the many
facets of AAA. Most people are familiar with the towing services and the travel
membership club but they also are an insurance company and operate driving
schools. They are adding car repair to their list of services.

A commissioner asked if all the services will be available at this location. Ms. Mosher
answered there will not be a driving school or any financial services.

Another commissioner asked about a nearby location on Dempster Street. Ms.
Mosher stated that location sold AAA insurance only and has relocated to Chicago.
Another commissioner asked about the Wilmette location. Ms. Mosher said that a
decision hasn’t been made if that office will close.

Ryan Doherty of ai Design Group spoke of the 12 year relationship with AAA. They
specialize in automotive design and said that they were well received at the


483054 Plan Commission meeting minutes 10/15/15
Appearance Commission meeting of the previous night. They also are requesting 2
additional wall signs on the building.

Another commissioner inquired about hours of operation. They will be open 6 days
a week from 7 AM to 6 PM on Monday through Friday and from 8AM to 4 PM on
Saturdays. The car care center will be open to the public and is not exclusion to
members only. There will not be any collision or painting work done on the site.

Another commissioner questioned the faux service doors that cannot open. He
asked about noise and smells especially being close to a school across the street and
a restaurant in the same development. He inquired if the garage area had its own
HVAC system. Ms. Mosher answered that a noise consultant was used and in nice
weather, the operational service doors will be open. The commissioner asked if
there were any other AAA locations within close proximity to a restaurant. Ms.
Mosher named the North Riverside location is near a Red Robin restaurant and the
Wheaton location backs up to a residential neighborhood. Staff mentioned that the
service bay doors face Emerson Street.

Tim Doran of Gewalt Hamilton spoke of the traffic analysis. The area is auto-centric
and is commercial on 3 sides. Traffic for the Bank of America and Chik-Fil-A is
considered pass-by while the AAA is considered a destination place. Deliveries will
be done after peak hours usually in the afternoon by 2 large trucks a week. He
commented that at the Chik-Fil-A location in Vernon Hills, there were 18 cars in the
stacking lane and from the time when he ordered, it took 90 seconds to pick-up his
lunch.

A commissioner commented about the traffic light at Emerson and Skokie Boulevard
allowing only a limited number of cars to turn left going south. Mr. Doran answered
that they cannot talk to IDOT about it without having time to work it first. They can
go to IDOT in the future.

Another commissioner offered that once you get stuck at that light, you find another
way to move around the area.

Mr. Vdovets responded to a question regarding the Bank of America. He said that
this branch is a consolidation of the 2 nearby locations at Old Orchard and Dempster
Street which will open up 2 new development areas.

In closing, Mr. Gershon stated that the proposed uses are appropriate for the
location and will affect the area positively. He also commented that it is a pleasure
to work with staff from Skokie – they are very knowledgeable and professional.

Pete Peyer stated that the Appearance Commission, at their Oct. 14, 2015 meeting,
unanimously approved all the requests including relief for signage and elevations
and Certificates of Appropriateness were received.



483054 Plan Commission meeting minutes 10/15/15
Staff requested that all 5 staff reports be accepted into the record as presented. As
part of the subdivision case, the land dedication of 57.75 feet will allow adequate
space for public sidewalks and street lighting. The Engineering Division stated in
their written comments, the surveys do not show the correct locations of water
mains and would like a revised plan.

As stated previously, staff has been working with the petitioner for a long time on
site plan approval. They are comfortable with the end result. The Health
Department will determine the number of trash cans necessary and trash violations
will be ticketed. There will be significant pedestrian traffic throughout the site and
the internal connectivity will be via crosswalks. There will be barrier fencing so that
people don’t walk through the bushes and “pedestrian crossing” and “yield to
pedestrians” signage. Additional landscaping is required by the faux doors with
foundation plantings so that people don’t drive up to the non-operational doors.
Overhead wires will come down and be placed underground. All parking will be
shared.

There were no staff comments regarding the AAA as discussion was thorough.

Staff explained that the number of drive-through lanes for the bank facility was
reduced to 2 lanes. Video tellers will service the drive-through and be available from
7 AM to 10 PM.

Melvin Perlman, 43-year resident of Skokie, commented that recently he heard on
60 Minutes that the federal government is looking for space in hotels for Syrian
refugees. He suggested that 35 of the 135 rooms of the Rodeway Inn should be
used. The rooms will be renovated by the federal government. The plumbing and
electrical problems will all be fixed. He uses the hotel daily for swimming and
physical therapy. The other 100 rooms can be open to the public. The chairman
told Mr. Perlman that the Plan Commission cannot designate to the property owners
what to do with their property. He needs to talk to the owners directly.

A commissioner stated that he wanted to add a condition to the special use request
for Chik-Fil-A to add drop-chute garbage cans to the drive-through lanes. They have
no objections to the request. Staff mentioned that the location is a problem. They
often get hit and the Health Department is asking for existing ones to be removed.
The commissioner rescinded his request.
