SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
 BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, JANUARY 6,2025
A. Stormwater Task Force Presentation.
 In the early 1980's, the Storm Water Relief Task Force was created to find a system
 to control storm water runoff. The Village installed a unique system of restrictors
 and street berms which limit stormwater from entering the system at peak flow. This
 system provided protection against a 10-year storm and was effective at reducing
 basement backups. However, in the decades since the original stormwater
 management system was completed, our region has experienced more intense
 storms more often. This means the existing system can no longer provide the same
 protection it once did, not because of inadequate system performance but because
 storm patterns have shifted.

 A new Storm Water Task Force was created following two significant rain events in
 2020. The Task Force has worked closely with Village staff and Christopher B.
 Burke Engineering modeling the Village's stormwater management system and
 identifying recommendations to further manage and improve stormwater
 management. I want to thank the Task Force members for their time and effort
 dedicated to this important project.

 The recent community survey results presented to the Board last month included
 information regarding the Village's storm water management. A memorandum from
 Aiex Franz detailing these results is attached.

 • 74% of residents rated the quality of the Village's storm water management
 positively (excellent/good) in 2024 up from 52% in 2003.
 • 94% and 98% (2021 and 2024 respectively) support (strongly support and
 somewhat support) to the Village investment in enhancing storm water
 management systems to mitigate flooding.
 • 25% of the respondents experienced basement flooding in the last five years
 due to weather (2024).

 A presentation will be provided. Feedback is encouraged and there is no action
 required at the time of this initial presentation. These recommendations will be
 considered as part of the Village's capital planning and budgeting.

SUBJECT: Stormwater Task Force Recommendation to Village Board

In the early l980's, the Storm Water Relief Task Force was created to find a system to control
storm water runoff. This included a review of Village policies and procedures, as well identifying
opportunities to mitigate stormwater damage. The Village's sewer system, like that of the City of
Chicago and many of the older inner-ring suburbs of the City, was constructed as a combined
sewer system. This means that storm water and sanitary sewer flows are collected and conveyed
for treatment in the same underground pipe system. The resulting program was a highly engineered
storm water mnoff system that complements the natural flow of water (through the laws of gravity)
by altering street elevations and adding water detention areas where necessary. The Village
installed a unique system ofrestrictors and street berms which slow stormwater from entering the
system at peak flow. Stormwater ponds on Village streets, in detention ponds and in underground
storage tanks in a controlled way for 4-6 hours and enters the sewer system at a much slower
rate. These improvements began in 1985, encompassing 16 separate projects, at an aggregate cost
of $80 million ($320 million in 2024 dollars). This system provided protection against a 10-year
storm frequency and was effective at reducing basement back-ups.


However, in the decades since the original stormwater management system was completed, our
region has been experiencing more intense storms more often. For example, when the original
stormwater management program was designed, a 10-year storm meant that 2.21 inches of rainfall
fell in two hours. Now, the design standard for a 10-year storm equates to 2.99 inches of rainfall
in two hours, or a 35.3% increase. To put that in perspective, that means Skokie is receiving over
100 million gallons more rainfall now than it did in the 1980 's during a 10-year storm. This means
the existing stormwater management system can no longer provide the same protection it once
did. This is not because of inadequate system performance, but because storm patterns have




620879 vl
 Return to Mgr Rpt




shifted. In fact, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is changing how they
analyze flood risks when areas affected by flooding are rebuilt.

In May 2020, the Village experienced two rainfall events within three days that deposited a total
rainfall amount of 7.35 of rain on an already rain-saturated system, resulting in a number of
stormwater and basement drainage issues. In the aftermath of these events, a new Stormwater Task
Force was created to review the Village's current stormwater management, identify opportunities
and make recommendations for improvements, and to review the work of a consulting engineer
and provide input throughout the process.


Working collaboratively with staff and its consulting engineer, Christopher B. Burke Engineering,
Ltd., the first order of business for the Task Force was to determine how the current stormwater
management system functions during today's storm events. To do this, a hydrologic and hydraulic
model was created to understand how the sewers fanction during periods of peak flow. Once the
model was calibrated, it confirmed the existing system is functioning as intended and continues
to provide the level of protection that it was designed to many years ago. With the passage of
time, changing of standards and changing storm patterns, the current level of protection only
equates to around a two-year storm.


In order to reinstate the original protection against a 10-year storm Village wide, 17 potential
public improvement projects were identified. These projects include sewer improvements, either
new underground storage tanks or the installation of new sewer lines, that would allow the sewer
system in the area to deal with the increased rainfall patterns of today. The projects range in cost,
individually, from $2.6 million to over $20 million. As you might expect, some projects provide
more benefit than others due to varying topography and the specifics of the existing sewer system
within any given project area. Additionally, there are preliminary indications from U.S
Representative Jan Schakowsky that the Village will be able to secure $3 million for future
stormwater improvements, and staff will continue to pursue this and any additional funding
opportunities as they become available. The Village has been successful in the past obtainmg
grant funding through the legislative process and other various opportunities.

In order to fund significant public improvements, the Village would have to issue bonds. For every
$10 million of bonds issued, the water rate would have to increase by $0.29 per unit(100 cubic
feet) in order to repay the bond (20-year bond at 4.5% interest). With the total cost for all 17
potential projects over $145 million, that would equate to a water rate increase of $4.23 per unit.
That would be an increase of almost 64% from the FY25 water rate ($6.65 per unit). It quickly
became apparent that the implementation of all 17 projects would be cost prohibitive.

An alternative to public improvement projects would be the implementation ofprivate-side sewer
protection against sewer surcharging. These could include the installation of flood control or
conversion to overhead sewers. Overhead sewer conversion provides a better level of protection
while lessening the need for on-going maintenance for the homeowner. The estimated cost to
convert a home to overhead sewers is $ 15,000. If every home in the 17 project areas converted to
overhead sewers the cost would be over $ 106 million. This is also not a financially viable solution,
nor would it provide any enhancement to sewer system capacity or relief to the sewers during
severe storms.




620879 vl
 Return to Mgr Rpt




The Task Force acknowledges that some homes already have some form of private side protection
and that some homes are not currently experiencing any sewer issues without protection. The Task
Force has explored a hybrid solution that includes the implementation of some of the public
improvement projects along with the creation of an overhead sewer conversion rebate program.


In order to try and determine which projects provide widespread benefit, the 17 possible projects
were ranked by cost per residence. This grouped the projects into three tiers and the resulting chart
is attached. There are five projects in Tier One, six projects in Tier Two and six projects in Tier
Three. A $50 million bond issuance to fund the Tier One projects is estimated to increase the
water service charge by $1.45 per unit.


Recommendations


 1. Tier One projects be considered for short-term implementation under the Village's annual
 Capital Improvement Planning process subject to budget and workload constraints.
 2. The Village create and fund an annual overhead sewer conversion rebate program. The
 program would provide a rebate of half of the expense, up to $7,500 per residential
 property. The program will give priority to residents outside a public improvement area,
 but will be available Village-wide on a first come, first serve basis each year until the
 budgeted funds for that year are exhausted.
 3. Additionally, the Task Force recommends the following additional steps and/or measures:
 • Village to continue to explore and refine the Tier Two projects for potential future
 consideration
 • Village staff to provide technical assistance in the form of a site visit for residents
 interested in understanding how their home and property drain to the sewer
 » Village to reassess downspout disconnections required during the roll out of the
 initial stormwater management system
 • Village to pursue grants and other funding opportunities to offset any stormwater
 costs
 • Village to consider adopting the proposed Stormwater Master Plan

Please let us know if there is any additional information that you require.

DATE: December 23, 2024

SUBJECT: Skokie Community Survey Results - Storm Water Management

Since 2003, the Village of Skokie has contracted with the National Resource Center and Polco to
conduct a triannual Community Survey for gauging resident opinion on life in the community
and specific Village programs and services. As part of each survey, residents are asked over 120
questions relating to the livability of Skokie. In response to each question, respondents must
choose from one of the following: "Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor or Don't Know. The
information below summarizes the results from the Village's eight Community Surveys as they
relate to storm water management.

In all eight surveys, residents were directly asked to rate the quality of the Village's storm water
management. The below chart shows the trend of positive responses (excellent/good) to this
question. Except for a decrease in the 2009 survey, positive responses have consistently trended
upwards. In the 2021 and 2024 surveys, the Village included a custom question that asked
respondents their level of support or opposition to Village investment in "enhancing storm water
management systems to mitigate flooding." The percent of respondents in support (strongly
support and somewhat support responses) were 94% and 98%, respectively. Also included in the
2024 survey was the custom question "have you experienced basement flooding in the last five
years due to weather?" Of the 513 residents that responded to this question, 59% said that they
have not, 25% said they have, and 16% said that the question was not applicable to them.

Memorandum
Community Development Department


TO: John T. Lockerby, Village Manager


FROM:
 ^lianna Nyden, AICP^$^ector of Community Development

DATE: December 19, 2024

SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM
 Accessory Dwelling Units and Implementation of the Housing Chapter of the
 Comprehensive Plan


Implementation of the Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan is underway, following the
appointment of the members of this group on December 16, 2024. The Housing Sub-Committee
of the Plan Commission is scheduling its first meeting for Thursday, January 2, 2025 at 7:00pm.
Consideration of any zoning changes related to the implementation of the housing chapter will
need to be reviewed by the Housing Sub-Committee of the Plan Commission and then the Plan
Commission. Per Village Code, the Plan Commission is the body that is responsible for
convening a public hearing on matters related to changing the zoning code (Section 11 8-6):


 Recommendations to the Village Board. The Commission, after holding public
 hearings, has the duty to make recommendations, including any conditions of approval,
 to the Village Board in the following areas:
 (1) Comprehensive Plan. Developing, periodically reviewing, and amending a
 Comprehensive Plan for the present and future development and redevelopment
 of the Village.
 (2) Chapter amendments. Periodically reviewing and recommending
 amendments to the Zoning chapter, in accordance with the guidelines of the
 Comprehensive Plan and the Subdivisions chapter of this code."


Key in the Plan Commission's role is collecting public testimony during a public hearing as it
relates to zoning changes before there is a recommendation by the Plan Commission and
ultimately a decision by the Village Board to make changes to the zoning code.


The shortage of housing has been identified as a pressing need for communities across the
country. Coupled with this is the desire to build upon the range of housing that Skokie already
offers and allow for greater housing flexibility. Additionally, this includes improving the
standards and guidelines currently in place to allow for more new construction and adaptation to
our housing. Therefore, it is anticipated that H2: Promote Housing Type Flexibility and H3:
Reasonable Standards will be the first portions of the Comprehensive Plan that will be studied by
the group. Consideration ofADUs would fall within these categories for further study.

  FROM: W€ -M&
 Kate Portillo, Planning Manager

  DATE: October 14, 2024

  SUBJECT: Accessory Dwelling Unit Policy Status

  In August 2024, tlie Hoi-ising chapter of the Village's Comprehensive Plan was updated by
  Village Board adoption. This update was facilitated through a Housing Sub-Commiltee of the
  Plan Commission (established by resolution in May 2023 and appointed m August 2023) for the
  putpose of study, review, discussion, and recommendations to update the Housing chapter with
  the goal of updating the future vision of housing in Skokie. The updated Housing Chapter
  ptovides four tbeme areas tiiat serve as a framework to achieving the vision for fixture housing in
  the Village. Adjacent to this process, the Village Board adopted amendments to Chapters 46 and
  58 of the Skokie Village Code to establish the Housing Sub-Committee as a pemianent
  Committee of the Village.

  The permanent Housing Sub-Committee is now in its formation stage, and staff anticipate the
  first meeting to commence in fee first quarter of 2025. As the Committee advances
  implementation oftiie Housing Chaptsr through updates to Chapter 118 of the Zoning Code,
  they will be charged with studying how the Village allows for Jiousiug flexibility for a mix of
  housing types mcludmg Accessory Dwelling Uaits (ADUs) and bringing forward proposed
  policy change.

IVtemorandum

To: Mayor George Van Dusen
 Viliage Trustees

From: Trustee James Johnson

Date: September 16, 2024

Subject: New Business
 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)


By the end of December/ I am requesting an agenda item under New Business to discern whether the
Village Board is ready to move forward with permitting and regulating accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in
Skokie.


in.May.2Q23/Vii!agestaffandthe Plan Commission completed an affordable housing study and presented
a series of poiicy recommendations for the Board's consideration. One of these recommendations was to
update Skokie's Zoning Code to allow ADUs, as part of a larger goa! to create new opportunities to increase
Skokie s affordable housing supply. As detailed, ADUs are coach houses or smaller apartments within
an existing home or part of a detached structure. They can serve as housing for caregivers, extended
family members, or be leased to help bring new income to properties to keep homes affordable for
property owners. Approximately one-third of the land use in Skokie is devoted to singie-family housing
units, and the creation of new smaiier housing units supports utilizing this land for new housing in a
landlocked community.


in August 2024, the Board approved a revised Housing chapter of Skokie s Comprehensive Plan. The
updated chapter says "there is a growing interest for other housing options [besides singie-family homes],
such as townhomes, multi-famiiy homes, and even ADUs, that offer other attainabie housing options to
meet the needs of current and future Skokie residents." As part of a larger goal to promote housing type
f!exibility, the chapter says that "reviewing and making changes to the Zoning and Building code allows
the opportunity for a mix of housing types, Eike ADUs/'


fn light of these developments, I encourage the Board to review the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for
Planning (CMAP) resources for communities considering ADUs, and i ask for the Board s support in moving
forward with permitting and regulating ADUs in Skokie.

Plan Commission Report 2024-39P: Special Use Permit
Village Board Council Chambers, 7:30 PM January 6, 2025


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairman
Case: 2024-39P: Special Use Permit
 7802 Frontage Road

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND ANALYSIS
At its December 19, 2024 meeting, the Plan Commission recommended that the request
of 7900 N. Caldwell, LLC on behalf of Pure Fleet, LLC for a special use permit for an
automotive repair facility (the zoning definition for vehicle wrapping) at 7802 Frontage
Road be APPROVED by a vote of 6 ayes and 0 nays, with 3 Commissioners absent.
Pure Fleet, LLC provides car wrapping, which is a process of applying a vinyl covering to
the exterior of vehicles. The process is wholly completed in the interior of the building.
The use requires 11 parking spaces which are accommodated on-site. No interior build-
out is necessary at the unit; it is move-in ready.
The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation based upon the Proposed
Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended special use conditions.
One Commissioner asked if the business owner operates another location, and the
petitioner responded that he does have a location on Elston Avenue in Chicago.
INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties
spoke regarding this case.

 Mike Voitik, Planning Coordinator, requested the staff report be accepted as
 presented and recommends approval. The use will not impact adjacent
 properties or the shared parking facilities as customers will be required to
 schedule appointments ahead of time for services and completed vehicles will
 remain inside the garage until customers retrieve them.

 The site and floor plans were displayed showing the 126 parking spaces that
 wrap around the building. Existing tenants require 97 spaces while this use will
 require 11 spaces more. There is an excess of 18 parking spaces at this site.

 As Mike reviewed the staff recommended conditions, it was noted that condition
 #2 should be removed per the Fire Dept. as no building permit will be necessary.
 The Fire Dept. will do a walk-through with the property owner to determine if a
 sprinkler system is required.

 Commissioner Scott Berman inquired if there were any complaints from other
 tenants or from neighbors.

 Anne Junia, attorney representing Pure Fleet and Bob Jovanovic, business
 owner added more background information. They featured a short PowerPoint
 presentation explaining the vinyl covering that is used on vehicles instead of
 paint. It most closely relates to putting a sticker or decal on a car.

 This use is a cross-over between car graphics and car detailing. Therefore, it
 belongs in the M1 zoning district but no auto repair work will be done. The
 previous tenant of this space, SIGNificant Graphics, put forward similar services;
 indoor & outdoor signs and vehicle wrapping. A lease for this space was signed
 back in August and Mr. Jovanovic is ready to open his doors for business. No
 changes are needed to the warehouse space.

 The chairman asked if he currently operates at another location. Mr. Jovanovic
 stated that he is working on Elston Avenue.


(IV) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
 A motion was made to approve as presented with Condition #2 removed, for a
 special use permit for a car customization service facility at 7802 Frontage Road
 in the M1 Office Assembly Industry district.

Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for an automotive repair facility at
7802 Frontage Road in an M1 Office Assembly Industry zoning district, and any relief
that may be discovered during the review of this case.
With regards to the proposal, the petitioner explains that:
 For reasons set forth below, our proposed operations fit within the existing
 character of the M1 Zoning District and will have no impact on public health,
 safety, morals and/or the general welfare of the Skokie Community.
 All customization processes will occur within the designated and enclosed garage
 space because it is essential that we maintain a completely controlled
 environment, as these services require a dry, wind-free, well-illuminated location.
 The process for vehicle wrapping includes application of vinyl to change the car’s
 color or design or to apply graphics for professional branding. The installation of
 professional window tinting reduces glare for drivers and blocks UV rays. The
 application of Paint Protection Film (PPF) uses a clear, self-healing film to protect
 the vehicle’s paint from scratches, chips, and environmental damage. We will
 utilize industry-standard products, primarily non-hazardous and non-toxic
 adhesives to ensure compliance with all regulations. Our operational processes
 and methods will have no adverse impact on the community.
 Our proposed business operations will not create any excess noise or traffic.
 Specifically, our leased premises can only accommodate a few vehicles at any
 given time, and we will require advanced notice via scheduled appointments to
 control the flow of business and ensure all operations are contained within our
VOSDOCS-#623272-v1-Staff_Report_-_2024-39P_-_Special_Use_Permit__7802_Frontage_Road

 leased premises. In addition, finished vehicles will be stored inside the garage
 until customers retrieve them, further ensuring that there will be no potential for
 any disturbance or negative impact on the surrounding properties and the
 community at large.

Staff Analysis and Recommendations
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for an
automotive repair facility at 7802 Frontage Road in an M1 Office Assembly Industry
zoning district be APPROVED, subject to the recommended conditions and attached
Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.
The site contains 126 parking spaces. Existing tenants require 97 parking spaces. The
proposed tenant/petitioner requires 11 spaces. In total this is 108 spaces. This will
result in an excess of 18 parking spaces at the subject site.
Staff notes that the existing building has a partial fire suppression system. Prior to the
issuance of a building permit, all existing fire walls and fire barriers will need to be
evaluated to determine if the area of the proposed use would be included within an
area of the building where the resultant total size exceeded 5,000 square feet of
unprotected space. The installation of a fire suppression system will be required
throughout the building area encompassing the new tenant space if that total size is
exceeded.
Illinois Accessibility Code-compliant signage will need to be installed at both of the
existing accessible parking spaces at the subject site prior to the issuance of an
occupancy permit.

Appearance Commission
No modifications are being made to the building or signage at the subject site that
require Appearance Commission review.
