 BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, DECEMBER 4,2023

A. Paid Leave for All Employees Working for the Village of Skokie,
 As of March 13, 2023, Governor Pritzker signed into law the Paid Leave for All
 Workers Act. The law mandates that employees are entitled to a minimum of 40
 hours of leave per year. Theoretically, under the Act, an entire shift of police
 officers, firefighters, public works crews or Village Hall administrative staff could all
 request to be off work the same week or during an emergency response such as
 snow storms. It is staff's recommendation to exclude the Village of Skokie as an
 employer from coverage under the Paid Leave for All Workers Act. This is essential
 to ensure continuity of municipa! services. I concur with staff's recommendation and
 respectfully request the Mayor and Board to authorize Corporation Counsel to draft
 the necessary ordinance.

TO: John T. Lockerby, Village Manager


FROM:
 Debra Stinson, Human Resources Director


DATE: November 20, 2023


SUBJECT: Agenda Item - December 4, 2023 Board Meeting
 Paid Leave for Ail Employees Working For the Village of Skokie

On March 13, 2023, Governor Pritzker signed into law the Paid Leave for All Workers Act -
PLAWA ("Act"), The law mandates that employees are entitled to a minimum of 40 hours of
leave per year. Such leave can be used at the employee s discretion for any reason. Although
the General Assembly has considered exempting municipalities from the legislation like Park
Districts, that has not yet happened.


One of the primary concerns of the Act is that employees may use these 40 hours of paid time
off without providing a reason and the time off cannot be denied by the employer. Theoretically,
under the Act, an entire shift of police officers, firefighters, public works crews, or Village Hall
administrative staff could all request to be off work the same week or during an emergency
response such as snow storms. In this instance/ the Village would be seriously impacted in terms
of service delivery with little to no recourse. As such/ I recommend the Village approve an
ordinance to exclude the Village of Skokie as an employer from coverage under the Paid Leave
for All Workers Act, thereby ensuring continuous municipal operations and services for the
community.


It must be noted that the Village offers leave programs for employees. It is essential that
employee benefits including employee leave be determined by the Village, as the entity best
suited to determine employee needs, assess impacts on Village operations and determine
impacts on taxpayers.


I respectfully request the Board authorize Corporation Counsel to draft the appropriate
Ordinance relative to this matter.

Memorandum
Manager's Office

TO: The Honorable Mayor and
 Board of Trustees
 Village Clerk

FROM: S'WA^
 in T. Lockerby, Village Manager

DATE: October 27, 2023

SUBJECT: Agenda Item - November 6,2023
 Referendum Implementation for Non-Partisan Elections, Staggered
 Terms and Hybrid Representation including Election Districts

As part of the November 2022 Illinois General Election, Skokie residents approved three
citizen-initiated referendums that changed Skokie Village Board elections to non-partisan,
staggered terms for trustees, and established hybrid representation through the creation of
four geographic districts represented by one trustee each and two at-large trustee
representatives. Currently, ail Skokie trustees are elected at-large.

The Village is responsible for implementation and the Mayor and Board directed the Village
Manager to professionally implement the referenda. In addition, the Village's FY24 Budget
included $50,000 for professional services related to the implementation. To implement
these referenda, a team was formed, led by Village Manager John Lockerby and consisting
of Assistant Village Manager Nicholas Wyatt, Management Analyst Alex Franz, Assistant
Finance Director Michael Aleksic, Communications and Community Engagement Director
Patrick Deignan and Communications Manager Meredith Gioia. The team issued a request
for qualifications to obtain legal services specializing in election and districting to assist
throughout the implementation process. Through this, the Village Board approved the firm
Klein, Thorpe & Jenkins at its June 5, 2023 meeting. Shortly thereafter, the implementation
team secured the services of election mapping expert Peter A. Creticos. Ph.D. to help draw
the boundaries of the four districts.

Three public meetings were held at the Skokie Public Library on August 14, September 1 1
and October 10 to educate residents on the process, solicit feedback and present the draft
proposals. Outlined below is a summary of the proposed implementation of the
referendums through the expertise of legal counsel, Klein, Thorpe and Jenkins and mapping
expert Peter Creticos, and based on feedback received at the three public meetings,
through an online survey, and via email.

Non-partisan Elections
As outlined in Attachment 1 , the Village of Skokie Code wi!l be amended to adopt a system
of nonpartisan elections in which candidates for Village of Skokie elected office circulate and
file nonpartisan nominating papers for the Consolidated Primary Election and Consolidated
Genera! Election beginning with the 2025 Consolidated Election schedule, as set forth
Sections 3.1-25-20 through 3.1-25-55 of the Illinois Municipal Code. 65 ILCS 5/3.1-25-20
through 65 ILCS 5/3.1-25 55.

A nonpartisan election system prohibits candidates from listing any political party affiliation
on their nominating papers and no political party affiliation will be listed on the ballot. A
nonpartisan election system does not prohibit candidates from coordinating their campaigns,
fundraising and platforms with other candidates and politica! parties.

Staggered Terms and Biennial Elections for Village Trustees
Also outlined in Attachment 1 and displayed in the chart below, the Village of Skokie will
adopt a system of staggered four-year terms and biennial elections for Village Trustees,
beginning with the Consolidated Primary and the Consolidated General elections to be held
on February 25, 2025 and April 1, 2025, respectively.

Hybrid Representation
To create hybrid elections where two of the six Village trustees are elected at-large and the
remaining four trustees are elected from four geographic districts, Peter Creticos and the
implementation team followed eight election districting guiding principles. For the second
public meeting on September 1 1, three draft maps entitled "Orchard." Prairie" and "Marsh"
were presented. Based on feedback received at and after the September 11 public meeting,
a final proposed district map, entitled "Forest," was created and presented at the October 10
public meeting. This map as well as a memorandum expiaining the districting guiding
principles can be found in Attachment 2.

Additionally, Attachment 3 is a memorandum from Communications and Community
Engagement Director Patrick Deignan outlining communication and public engagement
efforts related to the implementation of the three referendums.

These recommendations will be before the Village Board at its December 4, 2023 meeting
for review and final approval.

MEMORANDUM

TO: John T. Lockerby
 Village Manager
 Village ofSkokie
FROM: Klein, Thorpe & Jenkins, Ltd.
RE: Ordinance Implementing
 November 8, 2022 Referenda
 October 2, 2023

Based on the election results of the November 8, 2022 General Election in the Village of Skokie [the
 Village }, the following three referenda propositions were approved by the voters:

 Referendum Question 1: Shall candidates for Mayor, Clerk, and Village Trustee of
 the Village of Skokie be elected at nonpartisan primary and general elections,
 beginning with the Consolidated Primary and the Consolidated General elections to
 be held on February 25, 2025 and April 1, 2025, respectively?"

 Referendum Question 2: Shall the Village of Skokie adopt a system of staggered
 four-year terms and biennial elections for Village Trustees, beginning with the
 Consolidated Primary and the Consolidated General elections to be held on February
 25, 2025 and April 1, 2025, respectively?"

 Referendum Question 3: "Shall the Village of Skokie adopt a system of hybrid
 elections for Village Trustees, in which 2 of 6 Village Trustees are elected at-large and
 4 of 6 Village Trustees are elected from districts, beginning with the Consolidated
 Primary and the Consolidated General elections to be held on February 25, 2025 and
 April 1,2025, respectively?"

The enclosed Ordinance implements the referendum questions. Section 3 of the Ordinance, as it
relates to Section 2-61 ofthe Village Code, establishes the system of nonpartisan elections approved
by the first referendum question.

Section 3 of the Ordinance, as it relates to Section 2-62 of the Village Code, implements the second
and third referendum questions. With respect to the third referendum question, the Ordinance
establishes the trustee districts with a detailed description of the district boundaries that was created
after an exhaustive public meeting and input process and comprehensive legal review. The Village
will be required to revisit the district boundaries after the 2030 census to make any adjustments
necessary to account for population changes.

For the second referendum question, the Ordinance implements the system of staggered four-year
terms and biennial elections for Village Trustees as follows:

 Mayor Mayor Trustee - District 1

We considered the following factors when creating the election schedule to implement a system of
staggered terms and biennial elections for Village Trustees:

 • The offices and terms of Mayor and Clerk remain unchanged. They will both stand for election
 to full, four-year terms at the April of 2025 consolidated election as at-large candidates.
 • Initially, some trustees will necessarily serve a two-year term to kickstart this staggered
 system.
 • In staggering the terms, we also needed to account for the hybrid system mandated by the
 third referendum question where two trustees are elected at large, and four trustees are
 elected by district.
 • All Trustees, whether elected by district or at-large, will serve full four-year terms after the
 initial two-year terms are served.
 • The most comparable statutory provisions under the Illinois Municipal Code provide that in
 "staggering" the terms of elected trustees or aldermen in a hybrid system of representation,
 the trustees or aldermen elected by ward or district stand for election at the same time and
 that the "at-large" officials stand for election together at the other biennial election.
 • The Illinois Municipal Code generally provides for the staggering of terms so that half of the
 corporate authorities are elected at one biennial election, and the other half at the next, to the
 extent possible.
 • If "half the Village Board is to be elected every two years, and if the two at-large trustees will
 be elected at the same biennial election, then the at-Iarge trustees would run for election to




571038 1
 Return to top of F

 Attachment 1

 F
 full four-year terms with the mayor and clerk at the initial 2025 election implementing the
 new electoral system approved by referendum.
 • Correspondingly, if all Trustees will eventually serve full four-year terms, to implement a
 system of staggered biennial elections of "half the Board [with the at-large candidates
 running at the same election], the four Trustees running by district would run for two-year
 terms at the initial 2025 election and for four-year terms at the subsequent 2027 election.


Based on these considerations, we believe the proposed election calendar is fair, balanced, consistent
with statutory election systems under Illinois law and accomplishes the fundamental objective of the
referendum question of electing Village Trustees to four-year staggered terms with biennial elections.

Village of Skokie/ Illinois

RE: Design of the Proposed Village ofSkokie District Map

The proposed Village ofSkokie District Map was drawn in accordance with the following eight principles:

 1. One person/ one vote
 2. Compact and contiguous
 3. Centerthe map on an area of shared identity
 4. Follow major thoroughfares, boundaries, and other physical or
 jurisdictional factors
 5. Communities of interest
 6. Residents on opposite edges of a district should share a sense of community
 7. Observe residential neighborhood contiguities where possible
 8. Avoid isolating communities set apart by Edens Expressway or industrial areas.

Federal and state constitutions/statutes, and court decisions enshrine principles land 2. As a result/the
districts are closely equal in population with each other, and the districts are compact and contiguous.
The remaining principles are consistent with best practices based on more than forty years of
experience in districting and redistricting.

Public services are generally distributed by quadrants that come together in the Village s center. Our
approach respects this. In addition/ we adhere to major thoroughfares, boundaries/ and, where feasible,
to school district boundaries, in addition, school districts served as proxies for communities of interest,
unless otherwise informed by public testimony. We determined that long districts spanning the village
along either an east-westaxisora north-south axis would make no sense to residents on opposite ends
of such districts. We were careful to obsen/e residential contiguities. For example, we made sure to
connect the neighborhood north of Memorial Park with the residential area west of Skokie Boulevard.
Finally/we were careful to not isolate the southwest corner by drawing the 4th district first.

We considered the merits of all public testimony. Several citizens asked that three maps be presented
for consideration. We responded by presenting maps labeled as Prairie, Marsh, and Orchard. We heard
testimony that the extended Devonshire Park community remain intact. District 2 accomplishes that.
We responded to concerns about the boundary between Districts land 4 by proposing a split that
better conforms to the principles guiding the process. Finally, we considered/ but were unable to
accomplish a change that would group all multifamily housing along the border with Districts land 2
into District 1. Such a change would have resulted in large adjustments to all districts that would deviate
from the totality of our principles.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT Site Plan Approval: 2023-29P
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, December 4, 2023


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Cases: 2023-29P: Site Plan Approval
 9230 Lotus Avenue – Orchard Village
PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS

During its October 19, 2023 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the requests of 9230
Lotus Avenue, on behalf of Orchard Village, for a parking determination and site plan
approval of a 6-bedroom Congregate Living Facility for primarily residential use in the
R2 Single-Family residential zoning district. Orchard Village proposes to convert a library
space on the ground floor of the residence into an additional bedroom, bringing the
total number of bedrooms to 6 in the home. Orchard Village has a Community
Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) license from the Illinois Department of Human
Services, which allows them to provide residential services and programs to people with
developmental disabilities. Orchard Village provides residential services where people
struggling with developmental disabilities are taught how to live independently and are
integrated into their communities. Staff provides support with money management,
healthy meal preparation, and medical case management. CILA Group homes, services
and staff are regulated by the State of Illinois General Assembly’s Administrative code
under the chapter of the Department of Human Services. The regulations include
maximum number of residents allowed in a group home (8), staff responsibilities and
requirements, and specific rules regarding patient care.
The home at 9230 Lotus Avenue will serve as a permanent residence for these 6
women in the Orchard Village system and they will have 1-2 staff members present at
any time the Orchard Village residents are home. Staff transports residents to jobs,
doctors’ appointments, and other extracurricular activities from 8:30am to 2:30pm
Monday through Friday.
Currently, there are 40 total group homes located in Skokie at 38 different addresses,
with 2 congregate living facilities sharing a two-flat residential building. Since the
inclusion of congregate living facilities in the village code, there have been 45 group
homes of which 5 closed and were sold to be converted back into private residences.
Skokie has a long history with group homes and they have shown to be well integrated
within their communities. The location of the proposed congregate living facility
conforms with the proximity requirement limiting congregate living facilities from being
800 feet from one another as stated in Section 118-95 f (2) of the Village code.
The applicant proposes to provide on-site parking for an Orchard Village minivan to be
used to transport residents who are unable to drive, and a staff vehicle, in the 2-car
garage available on-site. When necessary, there are an additional 4 off-street parking
spaces on the large driveway for any guests or extra support staff.
 1

 Return to top of 2023-29P




Upon review, the Plan Commission determined that the 6 on-site parking spaces
accommodate the needs of the Site Plan Approval are required for the subject site1 and
supported the ability for Orchard Village to use all 6 bedrooms for the residents of this
Congregate Living Facility.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as
prescribed by the Zoning Chapter of the Village Code.
Marlene Hodges, a representative of Orchard Village at the meeting, gave an overview
of the programs Orchard Village provides and a clarification of what services will be
provided at 9230 Lotus Avenue to its residents. Marlene also answered questions
presented to her by the commissioners regarding total number of residents, number of
staff at any given time, expected guests or additional visitors, and other clarifying
questions regarding the intended use and daily functions of the site.
A number of 9230 Lotus Avenue neighbors spoke in regards to their concerns that the
site plan proposal would “appreciably alter the characteristics of this neighborhood”.
Multiple public comments were made questioning the intended use of the site, and the
proposed total number of residents that would be allowed at a time in the residence.
Commissioners and staff addressed concerns regarding the proposals compliance with
village code and started dialogues regarding the intentions of programs like the ones
Orchard Village provides and the responsibility of the neighborhood to be accepting and
involved in assisting Orchard Village residents to become more integrated within their
communities.

APPEARANCE COMMISSION
No exterior improvements are planned by the petitioner, no Appearance Commission
review is required.

 VOSDOCS-#615388-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_2023-29P
 Return to top of 2023-29P




• The site contains an existing detached residence with 5 bedrooms, a basement and
 second floor.
• There is a driveway with access to a two-car garage and street parking along Lotus
 Avenue.
• The 208 Pace bus route, which services Golf Road, is approximately 3.5 blocks north
 of the site.
• Interstate-94 sits directly adjacent to the property on the East side.
• The facility is located in an area reasonably accessible to public transportation, and,
 if needed, employment, vocational, medical, psychiatric, recreational, and other
 community resources that might be used by the facility’s residents.

PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The petitioners are requesting site plan approval for a 6-unit congregate living facility in
an R2 Single-Family Housing district for a 24-hour supervised group home or a
Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) for people with disabilities or other
special needs. Orchard Village is reconfiguring the layout of the ground floor at 9230
Lotus Avenue to add an additional bedroom to the current 5-bedroom residence in
order to accommodate the 6 Orchard Village residents at another facility.
Orchard Village is requesting to use this 6-bedroom house as a group home for up to 8
unrelated adults with developmental disabilities.
Per case 2023-28P, the minimum parking requirement is at least 2 on-site parking
spaces for Orchard Village staff and for the Orchard Village van that will remain on-site.


PETITIONER’S STATEMENT
Orchard Village submitted this statement of effects for 9230 Lotus Avenue:
 “Orchard Village, based in Skokie, has been in the business of providing services to
 individuals with developmental and other disabilities for over 50 years. These
 services include housing and 24-hour care for individuals who are not able to live
 independently.
 Orchard Village strives to provide comfortable, safe homes and be a good neighbor
 in the process.
 For the past 3 years it has been a strategic initiative of the Orchard Village Board to
 improve the quality of the homes that the Agency provides. This includes private
 rooms for all residents and more than one space for the residents to meet with
 family and friends – perhaps both a family room and a living room.
 Also, many of the residents are aging and have physical difficulties, especially with
 stairs. Handicap accessible homes for at least some of the residents is a very high
 priority.

 VOSDOCS-#615388-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_2023-29P
 Return to top of 2023-29P




 It is the intent of Orchard Village to move 6 ladies, who are currently residents of
 another Orchard Village CILA in Skokie, to this new home. Several of these ladies
 have lived together for over 40 years. They really need accessible spaces where they
 can age in peace.
 One or two Orchard Village staff members are present at any time residents are
 home. Generally, residents go to various day programs from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM,
 Monday thru Friday.
 Orchard Village Plans to sell the home where these ladies are currently living. The
 stairs are narrow and challenging even for the able-bodied”


STAFF REVIEW
All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this
case. The following is a summary of principal aspects of the proposed development:

Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as Single Family Detached Residential. The
proposed Congregate Living Facility adheres to the Comprehensive Plan.

Land Use
The proposed land use is a Congregate Living Facility, which is a permitted use in the
R2 district; however, since the home has more than 4 bedrooms, a Site Plan Approval
is required to occupy all 6 bedrooms.

Zoning Requirements
The existing buildings and improvements adhere to minimum R2 district requirements.

Building & Site Elements
The existing single-family home and detached garage will remain. There are currently
two lots under different pins at this address (10-16-123-055-0000 and 10-16-123-056-
0000).
The Fire Prevention Bureau is requesting that site and floor plans be resubmitted by a
licensed architect prior to the issuance of any building permits and the scope of work
to be defined, as the plans submitted do not show detail of any work is being
completed. Fire also requests that sprinkler and fire alarm system plans be submitted
and approved.
There is currently a code violation regarding the drainage system at this address, in
which the Building and Inspections Division issued a final code violation notice and final
inspection will take place October 17, 2023. Staff recommends that this matter must be
resolved in order for this project to move forward to the Village Board.

Parking, Access, & Circulation
Per Case 2023-28P, the facility is expected to consistently have one van to transport
 10

 Return to top of 2023-29P




residents in the Orchard Village program, to and from appointments and extracurricular
activities, and one village staff vehicle. The site is able to accommodate these spaces
with the existing 2 car garage and driveway. If guests are expected, there are about 4
spaces available in the large driveway. The site has a total of 6 off-street parking
spaces.
Plan Commission is set to make a final decision of the total number of required off-
street parking spaces at the October 19 Plan Commission meeting.

Complete Streets
The following provides information regarding walkability and transit opportunities:




• Public sidewalks are available along Lotus Avenue. ADA ramps with contrasting color
 tactile warning indicators are located at intersections.
• The closest bus services include Pace Bus routes 208 and 250, servicing Golf Road
 and Dempster Street respectively
• Emergency and business delivery access is available via Lotus Avenue.


STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval be APPROVED
based upon the Proposed Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended site plan
approval conditions listed below.

 Return to top of 2023-29P




 Ms. Marlene Hodges has been employed by Orchard Village as their Executive Vice-
 President and Chief Operating Officer for twelve years. She gave a brief history of the not-
 for-profit business explaining that since 1972 they have been providing care and housing
 services to individuals with developmental disabilities who are unable to live independently
 on their own. In fact, their 1st clients are still housed with them after 50 years.

 They currently own (12) small 3-bedroom, 1½ bath homes which serves 6-8 people each
 with 24-hour staff. As some of the residents are getting older and cannot walk stairs
 anymore, the Orchard Village board would like to afford handicapped accessible homes
 where their aging clients can each have a bedroom with a shared bathroom. They strive to
 provide comfortable, safe homes and be good neighbors.

 The subject property was owned by a WWII disabled veteran and his son was elated to
 honor his father by turning the house over to Orchard Village after 70 years of being family
 owned. It is currently a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home which, after converting the library into
 another bedroom, will become home to 6 women who have been living together for the past
 40 years. All the residents go to day programs and are supervised in the evening by
 caretakers. Occasionally, they do get visited by family.

 Commissioner Scott Berman asked questions regarding the use of a disability bus parked on
 site, the exterior changes needed at the property that will be used as an institutional use, and
 client/staff ratio. Ms. Hodges stated that they use a regular mini-van to take clients to
 activities and appointments. Orchard Village’s main concern is safety and keeping the
 interior and exterior aesthetically pleasant. At the subject site, 2 trees were removed which
 were examined to be unsafe and the grounds were cleaned-up and re-seeded. She also
 reiterated that 1 or 2 staff are always present whenever clients are at home.

 Mr. Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator, requested that the reports be entered into the record
 as written. Since none of the residents’ drive, the Orchard Village mini-van as well as one
 staff vehicle are able to utilize the existing 2-car garage. There is enough room on the long
 driveway to contain 4 additional cars for visitors. The final determination regarding parking
 was decided by the Plan Commission to be 6 on-site parking spaces; needing no Village
 Board input.

 Staff is in support of the site plan approval request. The subject site occupies 2 lots with
 different PINs and therefore, PIN consolidation is a recommendation for approval. The Fire
 Department, in their written comments, stated that detailed site and floor plans need to be
 resubmitted showing the scope of work, with sprinkler and fire alarm systems installed before
 the issuance of building permits.

 Staff pointed out that Conditions 2 & 3 of the staff report are to be omitted as they have been
 taken care of since the writing of the report.

 Commissioner Gevaryahu questioned if a zoning change was in order. Congregate living
 facilities are permitted uses in the R2 Single-Family zoning district. However, site plan
 approval is necessary when a home has more than 4 bedrooms.

 Commissioner Berman reminded all about no occupancy until the Fire Department review
 and sign off.



# 615343 Plan Commission meeting minutes October 19, 2023
 Return to top of 2023-29P




 Ms. Hodges is in agreement with waiting on the permit. The current Skokie home that the 6
 women are living in will be sold as the stairs are too narrow and challenging even to the able-
 bodied.

 Chairman Luke opened the meeting for public comments and called on interested parties
 from the sign-up sheet.

 Erik Anderson, 9250 Lotus Avenue, stated that his initial concerns have been explained but
 was surprised that the Village of Skokie cleaned up the felled tree despite it being on private
 property. Commissioner Ousley answered that if the tree fell due to a storm and it impacts a
 public way, the Village will come out. Mr. Anderson also inquired about the side lot.
 Commissioner Berman stated that the applicant can reject the consolidation
 recommendation and sell off the buildable, vacant lot next door.

 Dean Rauchwerger, adjacent homeowner, spoke of the quiet, charming neighborhood that
 Orchard Village is trying to integrate into. Most households are 2-3 people; not 8-10. This
 drastic change in density will alter the characteristics of the neighborhood. He also
 commented on the 3-minute limitation to speak when the petitioner has no time restrictions.
 It sounds like this is a “rubber-stamp” project including the removal of a 100-year old tree on
 a week-end. Chairman Luke asked if his concern is against families with more than 2 kids.
 As an example, this 5-bedroom house could be a home to 2-parents with 3 kids.
 Commissioner Berman added that a 5-bedroom home is allowed to have as many residents
 as can fit.

 Nina Rauchwerger further remarked that neighbors are in attendance to voice their
 comments of objection. If they cannot stop this project, why did they bother to attend? She
 also asked about the relationship between the Village of Skokie and Orchard Village; 4
 Village trucks cleaned up the downed tree. She also stated that the maximum number of
 residents is said to be 6 right now; how can they be sure more are not added in the future?
 Commissioner Berman answered that the house will look like the same house it is. It will not
 look institutionalized. The house will go through inspections from the Health Department and
 monitored by other governing agencies.

 Steven Pauley, 5440 Foster Street, mentioned the conditions of the group home at 9223
 Linder (?) that has been in the neighborhood for about 10 years and asked if they were
 affiliated. Staff is not aware of another group home in the area as locations are not disclosed.
 It depends on how the Linder home is coded in our computer system. Chairman Luke stated
 that the Plan Commission reviews development and enforcement is handled by Building
 Inspection Services.

 Helen Sarris, 9315 Linder Avenue, referenced that Orchard Village started out with 1 house
 on Marmora Avenue and continued buying all the houses on the cul-de-sac and wondered if
 they will be buying up more properties in this neighborhood. Are there limits on space within
 a certain radius? In 2-3 years, can they bring in more residents? Staff answered that there is
 a regulation in place that an 800 ft. distance is required between congregate living facilities.
 The state limits up to 8 non-related residents can occupy a home if space is available. At this
 house, the maximum is 6 residents. Commissioner Berman added that the block will not
 change to all group homes.




# 615343 Plan Commission meeting minutes October 19, 2023
 Return to top of 2023-29P




 Michelle Hammond, 9215 Linder, works in the special education field, stated that these
 individuals need to live somewhere. Her concern is their safety if they walk or wander in the
 neighborhood as there will be no signage at the property.

 Mark Matthews, 9338 Lotus Avenue, is concerned about his children’s safety and the
 family’s security. Is this a home for the mentally imbalanced?

 Selma Zukancic, 9436 Lotus Avenue, commented that the Linder group home is located
 across the alley from her home and looks like an institutional property. These homes usually
 have limited resources with only 1 staff member to care for the residents. What about
 escapes? Where does one go to report problems? In her opinion, the house is good, but the
 location is bad.

 Kathy Pauley, 5440 Foster Street, asked if this was a Village of Skokie project. When the
 house was sold to Orchard Village to become a group home, why wasn’t a meeting set to get
 neighbor input? Chairman Luke answered that the Village of Skokie had no prior knowledge
 as this was a private sale.

 In conclusion, Ms. Hodges reiterated, that this home will have 6 residents with up to 2 staff
 members. They can legally have 8 but their intent is to have 6. The residents are not locked
 in; they are higher functioning and can walk around the neighborhood unaided without telling
 a supervisor. They will not cause any unsafe conditions.

 Commissioner Ousley commented that he found the discussion to be distasteful talking
 about people that are not able to go about their business in their own neighborhood.


(IV) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
 Case 2023-28P: Parking Determination – 9230 Lotus Avenue
 The Plan Commission determined that the off-street parking requirement for the congregate
 living facility located at 9230 Lotus Avenue is 6 on-site parking spaces. The attached 2-car
 garage should accommodate the Orchard Village van as well as a staff vehicle. The long
 driveway can accommodate 4 additional vehicles for visitors. None of the residents’ drive.

 This determination is only for this group home and not transferrable.

 Motion: Gevaryahu Second: Minchella

 Ayes: 5
 Nays: 0


 Case 2023-29P: Site Plan Approval – 9230 Lotus Avenue
 A motion was made to approve the request for site plan approval for a 6-bedroom
