14 1. At or near the time of execution of this Agreement, the VILLAGE granted an
15 Occupancy Permit, Business License, or Special Use Permit hereinafter collectively
16 referred to as “permit” pursuant to state statutes and local ordinances.

17 2. By the terms of the aforesaid permit, the PROPERTY OWNER is required to install
18 and maintain landscaping in accordance with the plan dated October 1, 2018,
19 or as it may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager, or
20 designee, and the Corporation Counsel.

21 3. The parties to this Agreement recognize that the installation and maintenance of
22 landscaping is an integral part of the PROPERTY OWNER's plan for development
23 and/or use of the property and is necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the
24 VILLAGE's land use objectives, and that the permit would not have been approved
25 by the VILLAGE without the assurance that this Agreement would be executed by
26 the PROPERTY OWNER.

27 4. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:

2 above. The portions of the Subject Property which are to be landscaped and
3 maintained pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are indicated on
4 the Landscape Plan attached hereto, marked Exhibit “1” and are hereby made a part
5 of this Agreement.

6 6. PROPERTY OWNER agrees that the installation and maintenance of the
7 landscaping which is required in accordance with the permit issued by the VILLAGE
8 and this Agreement will materially benefit the Subject Property. Such landscaping is
9 necessary in order for the PROPERTY OWNER to comply with the conditions of the
10 permit issued or granted by the VILLAGE for the PROPERTY OWNER’s requested
11 development or use of the property.

12 7. PROPERTY OWNER shall diligently maintain and care for the landscaping which is
13 installed and required by the permit and this Agreement, using generally accepted
14 methods of cultivation and watering. The PROPERTY OWNER shall maintain a
15 standard of care necessary to prevent the landscaping from deteriorating to the
16 extent that its value as landscaping is destroyed. If Exhibit “1”, attached hereto or
17 permit specifies maintenance standards or procedures, such procedures are hereby
18 adopted as part of this Agreement, and by such adoption, become enforcement
19 conditions of this Agreement.

20 8. Failure to maintain the landscaping as required by this Agreement shall be a
21 nuisance. In the event the PROPERTY OWNER fails to meet the standard of
22 maintenance necessary to keep the landscaping in a healthy condition as required
23 by this Agreement, the VILLAGE shall give written notice of the deficiency to the
24 PROPERTY OWNER who shall have 20 days to make the necessary correction or
25 replacement. If such correction or replacement is not made within the aforesaid 20-
26 day period, the VILLAGE may elect to abate the nuisance and take necessary action
27 to assure that the landscaping is replaced and/or maintained. In the event, the
28 VILLAGE so elects; the VILLAGE shall serve notice of its intent to enter the
29 premises for this purpose. The VILLAGE shall either personally serve the notice
30 upon the PROPERTY OWNER or mail a copy of it by certified mail to the
31 PROPERTY OWNER's last known address, or as shown on the tax rolls, at least 15
32 days in advance of the date when the VILLAGE or its agent intends to enter the
33 premises.

34 9. For this purpose, the VILLAGE or its agent may enter upon the property and perform
35 such work as it considers reasonably necessary and proper to restore, maintain, or
36 replace the landscaping required by this Agreement. The VILLAGE may act either
37 through its own employees or through an independent contractor.

38 10. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to reimbursement for abating the nuisance in
39 restoring, maintaining or replacing the landscaping, provided that the VILLAGE
40 follows the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Costs shall include but shall not
41 be limited to actual costs incurred by the VILLAGE and administrative costs. The
42 VILLAGE shall make demand upon the PROPERTY OWNER for payment. If the
43 PROPERTY OWNER fails to pay the costs within 30 days of the date on which
44 demand is made, the VILLAGE may cause a lien to be placed on the Subject
45 Property. The VILLAGE may record a notice with the Recorder of Deeds for Cook
46 County stating that it has incurred expenses under the terms this Landscape

4 institute a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNER agrees
5 to pay the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs.

6 12. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
7 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post
8 additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the
9 VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNER to post additional security. The
10 VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing
11 performance in a form signed by sureties satisfactory to the VILLAGE. The
12 condition of the security shall be that if the PROPERTY OWNER fails to perform any
13 obligation under this Agreement, the VILLAGE may, act on behalf of the
14 PROPERTY OWNER and use the proceeds of the cash bond, or in the case of a
15 surety bond, require the securities to perform the obligations of this Agreement.

17 VILLAGE, its trustees, officials, employees and agents for any costs, claims, actions

1 5. The property, which is the subject matter of this Agreement, is legally described
2 above. The portions of the Subject Property which are to be landscaped and
3 maintained pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are indicated on
4 the Landscape Plan attached hereto, marked Exhibit “1” and are hereby made a part
5 of this Agreement.

6 6. PROPERTY OWNER agrees that the installation and maintenance of the
7 landscaping which is required in accordance with the permit issued by the VILLAGE
8 and this Agreement will materially benefit the Subject Property. Such landscaping is
9 necessary in order for the PROPERTY OWNER to comply with the conditions of the
10 permit issued or granted by the VILLAGE for the PROPERTY OWNER’s requested
11 development or use of the property.

12 7. PROPERTY OWNER shall diligently maintain and care for the landscaping which is
13 installed and required by the permit and this Agreement, using generally accepted
14 methods of cultivation and watering. The PROPERTY OWNER shall maintain a
15 standard of care necessary to prevent the landscaping from deteriorating to the
16 extent that its value as landscaping is destroyed. If Exhibit “1”, attached hereto or
17 permit specifies maintenance standards or procedures, such procedures are hereby
18 adopted as part of this Agreement, and by such adoption, become enforcement
19 conditions of this Agreement.

20 8. Failure to maintain the landscaping as required by this Agreement shall be a
21 nuisance. In the event the PROPERTY OWNER fails to meet the standard of
22 maintenance necessary to keep the landscaping in a healthy condition as required
23 by this Agreement, the VILLAGE shall give written notice of the deficiency to the
24 PROPERTY OWNER who shall have 20 days to make the necessary correction or
25 replacement. If such correction or replacement is not made within the aforesaid 20-
26 day period, the VILLAGE may elect to abate the nuisance and take necessary action
27 to assure that the landscaping is replaced and/or maintained. In the event, the
28 VILLAGE so elects; the VILLAGE shall serve notice of its intent to enter the
29 premises for this purpose. The VILLAGE shall either personally serve the notice
30 upon the PROPERTY OWNER or mail a copy of it by certified mail to the
31 PROPERTY OWNER's last known address, or as shown on the tax rolls, at least 15
32 days in advance of the date when the VILLAGE or its agent intends to enter the
33 premises.

34 9. For this purpose, the VILLAGE or its agent may enter upon the property and perform
35 such work as it considers reasonably necessary and proper to restore, maintain, or
36 replace the landscaping required by this Agreement. The VILLAGE may act either
37 through its own employees or through an independent contractor.

38 10. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to reimbursement for abating the nuisance in
39 restoring, maintaining or replacing the landscaping, provided that the VILLAGE
40 follows the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Costs shall include but shall not
41 be limited to actual costs incurred by the VILLAGE and administrative costs. The
42 VILLAGE shall make demand upon the PROPERTY OWNER for payment. If the
43 PROPERTY OWNER fails to pay the costs within 30 days of the date on which
44 demand is made, the VILLAGE may cause a lien to be placed on the Subject
45 Property. The VILLAGE may record a notice with the Recorder of Deeds for Cook
46 County stating that it has incurred expenses under the terms this Landscape

1 Agreement. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to collect interest at the statutory rate on
2 the amount owed.

3 11. In addition to having a lien placed on the Subject Property, the VILLAGE may
4 institute a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNER agrees
5 to pay the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs.

6 12. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
7 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post
8 additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the
9 VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNER to post additional security. The
10 VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing
11 performance in a form signed by sureties satisfactory to the VILLAGE. The
12 condition of the security shall be that if the PROPERTY OWNER fails to perform any
13 obligation under this Agreement, the VILLAGE may, act on behalf of the
14 PROPERTY OWNER and use the proceeds of the cash bond, or in the case of a
15 surety bond, require the securities to perform the obligations of this Agreement.

16 13. The PROPERTY OWNER hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
17 VILLAGE, its trustees, officials, employees and agents for any costs, claims, actions
18 or causes of action for personal injury, property damage or otherwise, including
19 reasonable attorney’s fees, which may arise from the VILLAGE exercising any of its
20 rights or obligations and performance under this Agreement.

21 14. All notices required or to be given pursuant hereto shall be in writing and either

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2018-35P: Special Use Permit
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 8:00 PM, December 17, 2018



To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case: 2018-35P: Special Use Permit
 5144 Main Street


PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
The case was heard at the November 15, 2018, Plan Commission meeting, and involves
a request for a special use permit for religious assembly in a B1 Service Commercial
zoning district and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.
The Northshore Islamic Center (NIC) is requesting a special use permit for religious
assembly at 5144 Main Street. The proposed use includes 20- to 30-minute prayer
services, up to 5 times per day. Services are short and congregants will include walkers
and people who work in Skokie, as they don’t want to drive a long distance for a 30-
minute service.
A total of 10 vehicular parking spaces (including 1 accessible parking space) and 1
bicycle parking space will be provided on-site. The existing parking spaces on the site
are substandard in width, but are legal non-conforming. As long as they don’t become
narrower, they may remain as-is.
This proposed religious assembly has a different use pattern than other religious houses
of worship, as the majority of visitors arrive as individuals, not as families or
households, thereby increasing parking demand beyond the Village Code’s off-street
parking requirement for religious assembly uses. This potential increased parking
demand at full usage of the facility is therefore a concern and it may result in a
negative impact on the neighborhood.
Currently, the Village motor vehicle parking requirements are based on the number of
seats or linear inches of seating (bench) space in the main auditorium or assembly
area. No parking requirement exists specifically for prayer rugs. On December 6, 2018,
the Plan Commission considered amendments to the Zoning Chapter of the Village Code
regarding religious assembly parking requirements as part of case 2018-46P. The Plan
Commission recommendation is to have religious assembly parking requirements
determined by the Plan Commission, upon consideration of evidence and testimony of
the petitioner. This recommendation will be reviewed by the Corporation Counsel prior
to the anticipated Monday, January 7, 2019, Village Board meeting.
Although the proposed capacity is 36 prayer rugs, due to the potential peak parking
demand and on-site parking availability, the Plan Commission supports an initial
maximum capacity of 20 prayer rugs (1 parking space per 2 prayer rugs), with the
option to return under the Modified Review process to request an increase up to 36


VOSDOCS-#545600-v3-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2018-35P_-_SUP_for_religious_assembly_-_5144_Main 1
prayer rugs (1 parking space per 4 prayer rugs), as long as it can be demonstrated at
that time that there will be minimal to no impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
The peak use of the site will be Friday afternoons year-round, and the 30 days of
Ramadan. Eid Prayers, held twice a year, will not be held at this location. The space
cannot be used as a social hall due to parking constraints; therefore, the site can only
be used for religious assembly and small meetings. Consideration of the neighborhood
impacts focuses around these times. The anticipated growth is from 2 members (now)
to 12-16 individuals (in 2-3 years) during the 1 p.m. prayer sessions.
Similar religious assembly uses in Skokie are located at 4255 Main Street and 8201
Karlov Avenue. Complaints filed for these locations are primarily due to on-street
parking issues such as fully- or partially-blocked driveways of the residential neighbors.
An illegal civic, social, and fraternal organization use was located next door at 5142
Main Street, creating negative parking- and noise-related impacts on the surrounding
neighborhood. This prompted an investigation into the upper-floor 5142 Main Street
tenant by several Village Departments, and a request by staff for a parking study for
5144 Main Street for tonight’s special use permit case.
Walking, bicycling, mass transit, and carpooling are encouraged to minimize the motor
vehicle parking impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. It should be noted that the
neighboring non-residential uses may change over time, and off-site parking may not
be available in the future.
This case was continued at the October 4 Plan Commission meeting to enable the
petitioner to prepare a parking study, and continued a second time at the November 1
Plan Commission meeting so the petitioner and Village staff could meet to discuss the
religious assembly request, in an effort to work through issues related to the request
and reach a solution that should work for everyone. The petitioners educated Village
staff on their beliefs, the differences between various Muslim sects, and their
expectations about growing in place and transitioning to a larger space in the future.
The Plan Commission is supportive of the petitioner’s suggested strategy of requiring
attendees to sign-up ahead of time for parking for Friday services to avoid parking
issues before they occur; however, due to the evolving understanding of the potential
impacts of various types of religious assembly uses on the surrounding neighborhoods,
the Plan Commission supports a reduced prayer rug capacity now, with an option to
expand the prayer rug capacity via a Modified Review process in the future. The
expansion could be supported by the Village as long as there are minimal-to-no
negative parking or congestion impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. Once this
additional capacity is reached, the NIC would either need to establish a second location
or relocate to a larger location.
Given the NIC’s own projected growth, this stepped approval will not inhibit its growth.
In response to a Commissioner’s question regarding Ramadan, the petitioner responded
that the late evening prayers usually have between 15-20 people and last about 1 hour
for 30 days.
In response to a Commissioner’s question regarding sign-up procedures – if it is solely
on good faith – what happens when members don’t adhere to the procedures, staff

VOSDOCS-#545600-v3-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2018-35P_-_SUP_for_religious_assembly_-_5144_Main 2
responded that the Village must wait to see if complaints come in, and then act on
them once they are filed.
This special use permit will be for the NIC only and may not be transferred to another
religious assembly use. Once they are no longer the owner or associated with this
mosque location, the special use permit will automatically terminate.
A Commissioner stated that the limit of 20 prayer rugs is reasonable. They are being
mindful of the newness of the organization and location, and want to make sure that
the residents are not negatively impacted or encumbered. Another commissioner
added that starting out with approximately 2 members and growing slowly allows them
to evolve and make adjustments along the way.


INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was ruled to be proper and correct at a previous meeting and therefore
considered constructive notice.
Residents expressed concerns about expansion plans, not using bicycles in the winter,
how resident complaints will be handled, the original plans for 30-50 people
participating in Friday afternoon prayers, and noise resulting from fellowship and
comradery. In addition, residents offered solutions such as parking at Madison
Elementary School and Calvary Church at times of high parking demand, and
establishing a zone for parking stickers for the neighborhood. See the meeting minutes
for 2018-35P for details.


APPEARANCE COMMISSION
No changes to the building exterior are planned. Exterior modifications to the building,
the installation of signage, and/or the creation of a landscaped area will require
Appearance Commission review and approval.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 6 ayes, 0 nays, 2 absent, and 1
vacant that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for a religious assembly use
at 5144 Main Street in a B1 Service Commercial district be APPROVED, based upon the
Proposed Findings of Fact and the conditions below.

 behind the building.


PETITIONER’S ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL
 Background Information:
 The Northshore Islamic Center, NFP (“Center”) is a 501(3)(c) [sic] Not For Profit Corporation
 formed for the charitable purpose of a religious organization. The purposed [sic] use of the
 Site is for a Religious Assembly which requires a special use under the Village of Skokie
 Zoning Ordinance.
 The founding members of the Center, which include Syed A. Ishaq and Ayoob Shafi, both
 Skokie Residents, are seeking to establish their own place of worship to hold daily prayer
 services. As a Muslim place of worship, prayers services are typically held up to 5 times per
 day, each service lasting approximately 20-30 minutes per services on the following
 schedule:
 Morning Prayer 5AM,
 Early Afternoon Prayer 1PM,
 Late Afternoon Prayer 4-5PM,
 Evening Prayer 7PM
 Late Prayer 9PM,
 Please not however times are may [sic] vary based on sunrise and sunset. Also, typically
 only a few members 2-5 will attend services that occur during work hours. 9AM to 5PM.

 Current Use: Vacant. Property has been vacant for at least 3 years.
 Proposed Site Use – Religious Assembly.
 The proposed Site Plan and Floor Plan prepared by Basil Chukwu shows a 3250 square feet
 one story building with space for [36] prayer mats (dimension per mat), a conference room,
 3 bathrooms, 9 parking spaces (one is ADA Compliant).
 Building Site Amenities:
 In addition to the prayer area, the Site will have a conference room, office/store area, bike
 racks, book shelves for prayer and religious related books.


 Effect of purposed [sic] use on character of the neighborhood, surrounding property values,
 traffic conditions public utilities, storm water detention, and other matters pertaining to
 public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community.


 Surrounding Property Values:
  The proposed use will enhance the character of the neighborhood and increase
 property values. The proposed use will involve a minimal remodel of the interior of
 the Site without any construction or alteration to the exterior of the building.
 Transforming the vacancy space into a fully remodeled and rehabbed religious
 assembly center will ascetical [sic] enhance the character of the neighborhood.
  As there are several other Islamic centers and religious assembly centers located
 nearby in Skokie: Kaleemullah Masjid (1.2 miles) and Masjid-E-Suffah, 8201 Karlov
 Ave (1.9 miles) and another MCC Masjid (1.0 mile) in Morton Grove, the proposed
 use will not negatively impact the character of the neighborhood or property values
 as there are existing similar uses nearby.
  The Center will bring a positive effect to property values in the immediate area. The
 members will meet at the Center on a year round basis sometime multiple times per
 day and their members will have need for local business and services. Further,
 demand for housing in the neighborhood will be increase and several members are
 expected to purchase or rent homes in the neighborhood further enhancing property
 values.


 Traffic Conditions:
  The Village of Skokie Community Development Dept, Traffic Engineering Division
 reviewed the preliminary plans and provide comments and comments [sic]. All of
 the Concerns and Comments in the Plan Review Comments dated 08/01/18 were
 addressed in the revised Plans and Proposed Floor Plan and the rehab will include
 surfacing and restriping the parking area, the addition of a [sic] ADA handicap space
 and installing bike parking & racks.
  Two of the Board Members are Skokie residents (living approximately 1 mile or less
 from the proposed site) and it is expected that many of the Northshore Islamic
 Center current and future members live or will live within walking distance from the
 Center.
  With five (5) different time for daily prayer, it is anticipated that far less than the
 [36] mats shown on the floor plan will be occupied at the same time. The Center
 has received permission to use the parking lot at 5150 Main St for parking after
 business hours and is arranging for additional parking for holidays and other special
 occasions.


VOSDOCS-#542588-v8-Staff_Report_-_2018-35P_-_Special_Use_Permit_-_5144_Main_Street

  Accordingly, the purposed [sic] use will have no substantial adverse impact [sic]
 traffic impact.


 Public Health and Safety:
  The establishment of the Northshore Islamic Center as a religious assembly will
 promote the moral, comfort, public health, safety and general welfare of the
 community. The property has been vacant for the least [sic] 3 years. With the
 remodel and rehab of the Center, it will transform an unused and unsightly vacant
 property into a fully functional religious center for local resident to prayer [sic] and
 worship.
  Public health and safety of the community will be enhanced by remodel and rehab of
 the Site with fully compliant fire and safety features including fire alarms, illuminated
 exists [sic], emergency lights per code, extinguishers, etc.
  The general welfare and morals of the community will benefit by establishing the
 Center as a religious assembly where members can conduct their prayer services

 Public Utilities and Storm Water Detention:
  The purpose [sic] use will use existing utilities and storm water detention and is not
 expecting to have any negative impact on the public utilities or storm water
 detention.


PETITIONER’S RECOMMENDED SPECIAL USE CONDITIONS
 1. Occupancy shall be limited to no more than 36 worshippers (children under 16 are not counted).
 2. In an effort to avoid parking issues before they occur, the Center will require people attended
 [sic] Friday Prayer service (and later any prayer service) to sign-up/register in advance and once
 onsite parking capacity is reached, prayer goers will be required to use alternative transportation
 to prayer services which does not involve street parking (i.e walking, biking, public
 transportation, cabs, ride share, carpooling, being dropped off ect). The Center can take a
 proactive role.
 3. For the first twelve months after the effective date of the special use, occupancy shall be limited
 to 25 prayer mats.
 4. Thereafter, the occupancy limit to increase to 30 worshippers, unless there is compelling
 evidence that such increase will unreasonably create safety or traffic issues. The Village can
 send notice to the Center or we can have a meeting with Staff and no further board or planning
 commission are required unless the Village provides the Center of notification of an issue.
 5. Same as above for the next year except the limit goes to 36 for yr 2
 6. Any violation of the SUP conditions shall give the Village cause to ask the applicant to appear
 before the Village Board and explain why the SUP should not be suspended for up to 30 days.



STAFF ANALYSIS
The religious assembly use requires a special use in the B1 Service Commercial district
due to its potential impact on the surrounding neighborhood. The Plan Commission
reviews proposals and presents recommendations to the Village Board to ensure each
request:

… conforms to all applicable provisions of this code, except where relief is granted with
  this request.


Staff Comment and Review requests were sent to all pertinent departments and were
received from Fire, Engineering, and Planning. All other departments returned the
requests with no comments regarding the subject case. Comments related to this
special use permit case include:

 Fire
 Building will be classified as an Assembly with 3,250 sq. ft.

 Property requirement:
 1. Must have fire alarm.
 2. Must have direct connect/monitoring of alarm at Skokie Dispatch.
 3. Must have an addressable annunciator panel at the main entrance.
 4. Must have a Knox box at main entrance.
 5. Must have illuminated exits.
 6. Must have strobes in the restrooms.
 7. Must have portable extinguishers mounted.
 8. Must have emergency lighting per code.
 9. If there is cooking in one of the kitchen type areas, and grease laden vapors
 are produced, the kitchen will require a Hood and Duct suppression system.

 Engineering – Traffic
 Complaints to Engineering, Police, and Community Development were cause for
 concern; therefore, a parking analysis by a professional engineer was requested to
 ensure adequate parking is available for the specific short-term and longer-term use
 of the subject site.

 Parking Study, dated October 25, 201[8] – Review
 Characteristics of the Use:
  It is noted that current membership of the mosque is approximately 2 people;
 however, the study states that the anticipated 5-year growth is unknown.
 Based on this information staff considers the impact on future parking in the
 surrounding areas inconclusive.
  Per the study, Friday prayers are the busiest day with a start time of 1:25
 p.m. for duration of 15-20 minutes. Staff would like to note that this occurs
 during an off-peak hour.
  Study notes that most members/visitors will be driving or walking to prayer
 services; however, the study does not provide a percent or ratio on number
 of expected (or observed) drivers versus walkers.
  Staff notes that certain services that are typical at other mosques (meal
 offering during Ramadan and Eid prayers) will not be held at this location.


 Parking Availability/Anticipated Demand:
  Report summarizes that during the busiest assumed time of 1 p.m. – 2 p.m.,
 there were no fewer than 28 unoccupied and available on street spaces out
 of a total of 71 on-street spaces for the study area. This directly conflicts
 with the On-Street Parking Occupancy Counts (Exhibit 2) where between 1
 p.m. – 2 p.m. the total occupied spaces are 28. Further, there was not an
 exhibit or a discussion on the future parking demand that would be applied to
 the existing conditions.
  The study looked at the demand during the peak periods and durations for
 Friday worship located at the Kaleemiah Foundation. The data provided
 notes “people in” are the number of people in the Kaleemiah Foundation
 Mosque space, and not necessarily the number of people entering the
 building that point in time; however, the study did not provide documentation
 on how data was collected.


 Summary and Conclusion:
  Documentation of assumptions used to draw conclusions was not provided.
 Specifically, calculation of the expected impact on traffic being less than .05%
 was not attached as an appendix.
  Study states: If the use does not exceed permitted occupancy, there is
 plentiful parking available nearby. Typically, staff does not support
 availability of on street parking as meeting the parking requirement.




VOSDOCS-#542588-v8-Staff_Report_-_2018-35P_-_Special_Use_Permit_-_5144_Main_Street
 6 of 15
  In summary, study did not provide enough information or discussion to
 determine if the 1 parking space per 4 seats/mats is an appropriate parking
 requirement ratio to be applied to this use based on the studied area and
 parking demand counts. The parking analysis/study was requested to ensure
 adequate parking is available on-site for the specific short-term and longer-
 term use of the subject site.


 Per follow-up conversation with DAMA consultants, Engineering staff, and
 Planning staff, the following further information was provided:
  Per consultant, majority of the members/visitors will be driving single-
 occupancy cars, with some walking, to prayer services.
  Fridays every week are the busiest or peak times.
  A ratio of 1 parking space to 2 prayer mats was a recommended parking ratio
 for the Northshore Islamic Center at 5144 Main Street.




 Parking Supplement Report, dated November 6, 201[8] – Review
 Characteristics of the Use:
 1. Noted. However, per exhibit 2 between 1pm-2pm 28 occupied spaces is
 shown. Therefore, 28 subtracted from 71 available spaces would equal 43
 unoccupied spaces.
 2. Noted the meaning of “people in”. Exhibit should reflect “people in” and net
 attendees should be recalculated.
 3. Noted. Calculation assumes 50 ‘prayer goers’ is equivalent to 50 vehicles per
 day.
 4. Original comment still stands.
 5. This comment directly conflicts with follow up phone conversation where a
 parking ratio was discussed. The Village asked petitioner for a parking study
 to include a final recommended parking ratio.



 The accessible parking space should be 8' wide with an 8' access aisle. Provide an
 R7-8 and R7-I101 sign in front of the accessible parking space.
 The parking lot is to be resurfaced and re-striped. Nine (9) legal non-conforming
 spaces are to be restriped, plus 1 ADA parking space to be provided.
 The space may not be used as a social hall or banquet area as this has a higher
 parking requirement. Please see parking analysis for parking requirements for social
 hall/banquet area.

 As far as Engineering staff is aware, typical parking complaints that come in for this
 type of use occur during a specific period of time each year. Complaints consist of
 the number of patrons and cars parked within the residential neighborhoods. It is
 recommended that the owner seek off-site parking lots where patrons may park on
 busier holidays during the year. Agreements should be made with other businesses
 if off-site parking lots will be used for busier times of the year.


 Planning

 Overview
 The Northshore Islamic Center is requesting a special use permit for religious
 assembly at 5144 Main Street. The proposed assembly use includes 20- to 30-
 minute prayer services, up to 5 prayer services per day, and a maximum capacity of
 36 prayer mats.
 Similar religious assembly uses in Skokie are located at 4255 Main Street and 8201
 Karlov Avenue.
 Since the space cannot be used as a social hall due to parking constraints, the site
 can only be used for religious assembly and small meetings.
 Improvements to the building exterior and signage are encouraged. If any changes
 are planned in the future, an Appearance Commission review and approval will be
 required.
 The existing parking spaces on the site are substandard in width, but are legal non-
 conforming. As long as they don’t become narrower, they may remain as-is.
 The front and rear yards can accommodate 18’ deep parking spaces (16’ to face of
 wheel stop with 2’ bumper overhang) and 4’ back-out spaces leading up to the front
 and rear property lines, respectively. The remaining walkway adjacent to the front
 of the building is 6’-10” and the walkway adjacent to the rear of the building is 5’,
 both meeting the minimum walkway width requirement adjacent to a bumper
 overhang area, in addition to accommodating doors opening outward from the
 building.
 The bike parking requirement is 5% of the motor vehicle parking requirement, or a
 minimum of 1 bike parking space. This 2’ x 6’ space must be located in the front of
 and parallel to the building, tucked into the corner just north of the accessible motor
 vehicle parking space loading area. The final design must ensure an ADA-accessible
 route is provided from the accessible parking space loading area to the building
 entrance.


 Parking Study and Supplement Report
 The peak use of the site will be Friday afternoons year-round and the 30 days of
 Ramadan. Eid Prayers, held twice a year, will not be held at this location. See
 Engineering – Traffic for additional discussion.

 Complaints
 In the past year, Skokie Police logged 5 complaints regarding 4255 Main and 4
 complaints regarding 8201 Karlov. The complaints were related to partially-blocked
 driveways. In the more distant past, Skokie Police logged many complaints
 regarding 8201 Karlov; however, in 2016, a parking lot was constructed, improving
 neighborhood parking conditions. Please note that the Karlov location is zoned R2
 Single-Family, and religious assembly is a by-right use that does not require a
 special use permit.
 Also in the past year, Skokie Police and Community Development received
 complaints regarding what was believed to be the subject property; however, it was
 for the neighboring property to the east at 5142 Main Street. A letter from a
 representative of the current owner of the subject property at 5144 Main Street
 confirms that the petitioner for this case does not have access to the subject
 property without the assistance of an agent of the owner.
 Police, Fire, and Community Development staff members have visited 5142 Main
 Street. A warning letter was issued, a subsequent citation was issued, and the
 tenant applied for a Certificate of Occupancy. The proposed use of the space is
 considered a civic, social, and fraternal organization, which is not a permitted use in
 the B1 district; therefore, the request was denied. The property owner, Continental
 Realty Investment Group, Inc., appeared at the Village’s Administrative Hearing and
 was found guilty for failure to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy prior to the use of
 Unit 200. The illegal tenant, the American Islamic Society, Inc., shall come into
 compliance with the Village Code. Options include moving out or obtaining a
 Certificate of Occupancy after a Special Use Permit process through the Plan
 Commission and Village Board.

 Concerns
 Since the busiest time of the week is the early afternoon prayer session on Friday,
 consideration of the neighborhood impacts will focus around this time. The
 anticipated growth is from 2 members (now) to 12-16 individuals (in 2-3 years)
 during the 1 p.m. prayer sessions.
 Once per year, there is a large Ramadan celebration held at the Holiday Inn on
 Touhy Avenue. The number of vehicles exceeds the ratio of 1 vehicle per 4
 seats/mats/celebrants, and there is standing room only. The first year the event
 took place, Skokie Police were not informed of the celebration in advance, and the
 traffic conditions were deemed a “disaster”. Each year since, however, Skokie Police
 have worked with the event organizer and have provided a 5-person traffic detail,
 resulting in better traffic conditions.
 Skokie Police does have a concern with limited on-street parking in the immediate
 area of the subject site; however, it defers to Traffic Engineering to address parking
 issues related to this request.



VOSDOCS-#542588-v8-Staff_Report_-_2018-35P_-_Special_Use_Permit_-_5144_Main_Street
 9 of 15
 Currently, the Village motor vehicle parking requirements are based on the number
 of seats or linear inches of seating (bench) space in the main auditorium or
 assembly area. No parking requirement exists specifically for prayer mats.
 This proposed religious assembly has a different use pattern than other religious
 houses of worship, as the majority of visitors arrive as individuals, not as families or
 households, thereby increasing parking demand beyond the Village Code’s off-street
 parking requirement for religious assembly. This increased parking demand at full
 usage of the facility is therefore a concern and it may result in a negative impact on
 the neighborhood.
 In addition to seeking off-site parking locations to support popular assembly times,
 staff encourages walking, bicycling, mass transit, and carpooling to further minimize
 the motor vehicle parking impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. It should be
 noted that neighboring uses may change over time, and off-site parking may not be
 available in the future.

 Petitioners and Village Staff Communications Summary
 Subsequent to the November 1 continuation of the case, Village staff met with the
 Northshore Islamic Center members and legal team to learn more about their
 proposed operation.
 On November 7, the petitioners and Village staff met to discuss the religious
 assembly request in an effort to work through issues related to the request and
 reach a solution that should work for everyone. The petitioners educated Village
 staff on their beliefs, the differences between various Muslim sects, and their
 expectations about growing in place and transitioning to a larger space in the future.
 They anticipate that the Friday afternoon services will grow to 12-16 members at
 prayer time in the next 2-3 years.
 On November 9, the petitioners provided suggested special use conditions. Staff is
 supportive of the suggested strategies for avoiding parking issues before they occur,
 and growing the maximum attendance capacity; however, it is recommended that
 the growth process be handled with current Village procedures.

 Recommendation
 Due to the evolving understanding of the potential impacts of various types of
 religious assembly uses on the surrounding neighborhoods, staff would support a
 reduced prayer rug capacity now, with an option to expand the prayer mat capacity
 via a Modified Review process in the future. The expansion could be supported by
 the Village as long as there are minimal to no negative parking or congestion
 impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. Once this additional capacity is reached,
 the Northshore Islamic Center would either need to establish a second location or
 relocate to a larger location.
 Given the Northshore Islamic Center’s own projected growth, this stepped approval
 will not inhibit its growth.

 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
 Date: November 15, 2018

A motion was made by Commissioner Mathee and seconded by Commissioner Laxpati to
approve the minutes of the November 1, 2018 meeting.

Case Description

2018-35P – Special Use Permit: 5144 Main Street
The Estate of Joseph Atto, deceased, on behalf of North Shore Islamic Center NFP,
requests a special use permit for religious assembly in a B1 Service Commercial zoning
district and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.

PINs: 10-21-224-024-0000 and 10-21-224-025-0000

Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal notice was ruled to be proper and correct at a previous meeting and therefore
considered constructive notice.

Dan Shapiro, attorney on behalf of the North Shore Islamic Center NFP, presented the
case. Attorney, Michael Durlacher and Syed Ishaq, board member of North Shore
Islamic Center gave additional testimony.

This small sect of the Muslim faith was formed in 2017 with very particular practices.
Current congregation is at 2 members. They have discussed with staff their growth plan
for the next 2-3 years of 12-16 members with a maximum of 36 in 6 years. This site will
allow them a place to worship offering prayer services 5 times each day for about 20-30
minutes; except for Fridays. They expect a minimum of 2-3 worshippers and maximum
of 7-8 in attendance during the week. According to the narrative submitted, the Friday
afternoon prayer service is the peak day and time for hour long worship besides the
Ramadan holiday. For these Friday services they expect a maximum of 16 members.

Mr. Syed Amin Ishaq explained that he chose Skokie because it is an accepting and
diverse community. Both members are residents and have been involved with the
community for 20 years. He stated that services are based on the lunar calendar and
dependent on sunrise and sunset. Summer times are slightly different than winter
times. He informed the group that most attendees come to Friday prayers from noon to
1:00 or from 1:00 to 2 pm so that they can return to work.

A commissioner asked about the Ramadan holiday services. Mr. Ishaq responded that
the late evening prayers usually have between 15-20 people and last about 1 hour for
the 30 days.

The chairman reiterated that they currently have 2 members but expect to grow as they
are aware of a small following in the area. They know the space is limited and can only
accommodate 36 mats based on the number of parking spaces. As they grow, their
membership will be monitored. Once at capacity, they must look for a new location with
larger space, but they have to start somewhere.
545408 v1
Dan Shapiro added that services are short and congregants will be people from the
community. They will be walkers or people that work in Skokie. People don’t want to
drive a far distance for a 30 minute service.

Staff requested that the report be accepted into the record as written. This case,
originally scheduled to be heard at the October 4th meeting, was continued by staff so
that a parking study could be reviewed. The case was further continued so that a
meeting could be scheduled between staff and the petitioners to discuss additional
information.

The center expects to grow to 12-16 members in 2-3 years. There are 10 spaces on –
site with 1 accessible space. They want to be good neighbors and take a pro-active role
to avoid parking issues before they occur. Therefore, they will require that attendees
register or sign–up ahead of time for Friday services. Once on-site capacity is reached,
parishioners will be required to take alternative transportation methods such as walking,
biking, public transportation, ride-sharing, cabs, car-pooling or drop-off to get to the
center for services. There will be no social hall, banquet activities or meals served after
prayers.

Staff gave an update on another tenant of the building next door at 5142 Main Street
which caused much concern to the neighbors. The American Islamic Society occupied
the 2nd floor suite illegally. When discovered, they were cited and fined. They applied
for an occupancy permit and were denied. They were required to apply for a special use
permit (as this petitioner has done) or move out since the use is not permitted by right
in the B1 zoning district.

Staff also announced that an amendment to the Village Code is on the docket for the
December 6, 2018 Plan Commission to discuss the parking impacts of religious assembly
uses. Currently, parking requirements are based on 1 space for every 4 bench seats.
Assuming that 1 prayer mat is 30” x 4 feet, parking in this case, was based on 1 space
for every 2 prayer mats. Staff supports a reduced prayer rug capacity of 16 for now
with the option of a Modified Review process to request an increase in capacity provided
there are no negative impacts. Once capacity reached an additional 20, a 2nd location or
a move to a larger site would be in recommended.

Staff gave a summary of the recommended conditions that needed attention before the
case is heard by the Village Board. The parking lot is in need of resurfacing and
restriping, and of particular importance, this special use permit is for the North Shore
Islamic Center only and may not be transferred to another religious assembly use. If
they are not the owner or associated with this mosque location, the special use permit
will automatically terminate.

A commissioner questioned the sign-up procedures for Friday services – if it is solely on
good faith, what happens when members don’t adhere. Staff answered that the Village
must wait to see if complaints come in and then can act on them.

 Tom Toimai, 5133 Elm Street, commented that right now they are like a club with 2
members. At some point they will expand and what recourse does he have when he
can’t park in front of his house. He also stated that bikes won’t be used in winter for a
545408 v1
15-20 minute service. The chairman answered that with a special use permit, the
Village is able to monitor the operation. Inspectors check for compliance with the
approved ordinance and unfortunately, complaints will trigger action. The Village will
know who to contact. Mr. Tomai asked how many complaints warrant doing something.

The Community Development Director interjected that originally the many complaints to
the Engineering, Police, and Community Development Departments were thought to be
generated from this applicant. It was later discovered, that an illegal mosque went in
on the 2nd floor of the building next door, at 5142 Main Street. Once they were “caught
in the act”, a citation and fine was administered. The American Islamic Society then
applied for a Certificate of Occupancy permit which was denied. Without an occupancy
permit, they could not stay at that location and it took enforcement to get them out. He
reminded all that the use is not permitted and only allowed in the B1 district by special
use permit; the process that this petitioner has followed.

Renee Toimai, 5133 Elm Street, stated that the original letter that the North Shore
Islamic Center circulated to the neighbors differs from what was the submittal to the
Village. She said that they estimated 30-50 people coming for Friday prayers which is a
far cry from the 16 members stated earlier.

The Community Development Director answered that the petitioner presented what they
would like to have. Staff reviewed their operation and the traffic analysis and is limiting
them to a maximum of 20 mats. Once they reach that, and there are no negative
impacts, they could come back to raise their membership to 36.

Tom Toimai returned to the podium and offered a solution. He stated that Madison
School and the Cavalry Church are nearby and their parking lots are empty most Friday
evenings. The mosque can use them instead of disrupting the residential neighborhood.
Staff answered that arrangement needs to be worked out between the petitioner, the
school, and the church.

A commissioner was confused. He wasn’t sure if the case before them was regarding
the site at 5144 Main Street or the illegal use at 5142 Main Street. Staff clarified that
the American Islamic Society at 5142 Main Street was included and summarized just for
background information.

Chris Kapsalis, 5130 Main Street, added that the current membership is only 2
individuals but soon enough there will be family and friends who will join up.

Dan Shapiro commented on the staff recommendations. He stated that the Zoning
Ordinance allows a ratio of 4 seats to 1 parking space. The other approved mosques in
the village operate with that same 4 to 1 ratio. He disagrees that this sect, maybe
because of the illegal neighbors, should be limited to a 2 to1 ratio or 20 mats maximum.
He suggests approval for the maximum 36 mats now as long as the Village has the
enforcement mechanisms in place – inspections and special use conditions. The
attention of the illegal mosque has made them sensitive to their neighbors. The
Modified Review process will take more time, effort, and money.

Michael Durlacher, attorney for the petitioner, also added that the congregation is aware
of the parking concerns and want to be pro-active. They are working on a parking lease
545408 v1
with one neighboring business to use their extra spaces and are also trying to secure
additional parking elsewhere. They will encourage their members to use street parking
and the sign-up sheets. They are not looking for anything that hasn’t been given to the
other groups.

The chairman stated that he respects their intent to give their client the full 36 mats
now but the Modified Review process is not cumbersome at all.

Another commissioner stated that the limit of 20 mats is reasonable. They are being
mindful of the newness of the organization and location and want to make sure that the
residents are not impacted or encumbered.

Another commissioner added that starting out with 2 members and growing slowly
allows them to evolve and make adjustments along the way.

Barb Messner, 5122 Elm Street, stated that she lived in Morton Grove next to Niles West
High School before moving to Skokie 2 years ago. When the school made the students
pay for parking, that’s when the kids turned to on-street parking. Morton Grove
instituted zone parking stickers and asked if Skokie would consider it. She also
continued that for any religious organization there is a fellowship or comradery among
members. They talk as they walk out creating noise.

The chairman answered that the Village issues parking permits only if there are
complaints and the need presents itself first. If there is a problem, call Traffic
Engineering or if after 5 PM then the Police. An activity report will be generated and
sent to the Village for proper steps to be taken to correct the problem.

INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE


DAMA Consultants, Inc. has investigated the parking requirements for the project noted above.
As proposed, a 36 seat/mat mosque will be operated as a use of an existing 3,250 square foot
currently vacant building. The building is located at 5144-5148 W. Main Street, Skokie, Illinois.
The Village Plan Commission continued the special use petition until November 1, 2018. The
nature of the use is somewhat different than that of a church or synagogue relative to time of
worship, configuration of the interior space, number of annual high holy days etc and ., the
Village of Skokie requested further study including parking availability in the site area.
Accordingly, this study examines parking supply and demand along the Main Street corridor
near the site and during peak Friday hours of worship. It also includes an observation count at
another mosque in Village of Skokie located at 4255 W. Main Street.
Site Information
 1. The existing 3,250 square foot building is located on a 0.13-acre parcel along the north
 side of Main Street between Laramie Avenue and Le Claire Ave.

 2. Main Street is identified in the Villages Comprehensive Plan as a collector roadway with
 average daily traffic (ADT) of 11,500 vehicles per day (VPD). Near the site it contains
 one travel lane and bike lane in each direction with a planted median. Parking is permitted
 on both sides of the roadway.
3. The site is located in the B-1 Service Commercial zoning district. The surrounding area to
 the West is primarily commercial (retail); there is a nonresidential building directly to the
 East; the north is primarily residential and to the south has a neighborhood mixed use.
Characteristics of the Use

The following identifies the mosque and its anticipated operating characteristics:

 - Site maximum permitted capacity – 36 persons
 - Current membership of the mosque is approximately 2 people.
 - Anticipated 5-year growth is unknown at this time.
 - The mosque will be open seven days per week with the following prayer schedule:
 - Five daily prayers Monday – Thursday attendance is for anyone but anticipated current
 participation at any single time will be only 5 - 10 people
 - Friday Jummah prayers (busiest day) start punctually at 1:25 PM – duration seven
 minutes. Anticipated stay 15-20 minutes. Most members/visitors will be driving
 or walking prayer services.
 - High Holy days
 - Ramadan – duration 30 days with the timing varied each year. Fasting occurs sunrise
 to sunset, however, this mosque is not offering a meal after evening prayers which could
 possibly decrease attendance. The late-night prayer during the Muslim month of
 Ramadan usually lasts longer for approx. an hour between the hours of 9 pm and 11 pm
 than the usual 15-20 minutes, please see Exhibit 4.
 - Eid prayers – a celebration after the end of Ramadan and then another one after 2 months,
 and two days per year. Eid Prayers usually held between 8 am to 9 am will not be held
 as this location and would be held at larger gatherings in conjunction with other
 mosques from the area. Children and families are expected to visit during Ramadan.
 - 10 (one of which is an ADA Space) parking spaces on site of which two to five persons
 will be there consistently during operating hours of 9 AM to 5 PM.


Parking Availability and Anticipated Demand

Supply

An hourly parking supply and occupancy survey was performed at the site area from 10 AM to 5
PM on Friday which is the busiest day for worship. These counts were performed for all
available on street public parking with a reasonable walking distance from the site. Exhibit 1
shows the count areas and site location. Exhibit 2 shows a tabulation of occupied spaces, the
parking spaces were counted with utilizing parallel parking lengths of 22 feet. Green/yellow/red
cells show the number of parking spaces that were occupied during that point in time. Please
note, the cars for 3B on Exhibit 2 were not counted because of “30 min parking, only” for that
time frame of the day.

Supplemental. At 5152 Main St, directly west of the proposed location, the Owner, GCS
Technology Solution has provided a letter indicating the members and users of 5144 Main can
use their un-used parking spaces at any time (which average around 6 or more spaces). This will
provide additional parking during peak prayer times.

Narrative:

The Muslim faith similar to other religions such as Christianity and Judaism are
comprised of many different sects. Each of these sects may take a different
interpretation of some of the religious texts with beliefs and customs differing yet
overlapping that may appear similar to the general public and those outside the
faith.

The existing mosques and Islamic centers located in Skokie and the surrounding
Northshore suburbs mostly cater to various Muslim sects. This can be seen as
there are 2 mosques (Kaleemiah Foundation at 4255 Main St. and Suffah
Educational Guidance at 8201 Karlov Ave) in Skokie are only .5 miles apart and
a few blocks walking distance from each other in the same general vicinity.
However, each Islamic Center has different membership and a following that live
in the same area but due to religious differences and sects, congregants choose
to attend and are members of the their particular Islamic center of their sect.

The Northshore Islamic Center was formed in 2017 by founding members of the
Muslim faith who were unable to practice their religion in the existing Skokie and
surrounding area Islamic centers due to religious differences. The founding
members follow an interpretation of Islam known as Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah
different than Kaleemeih and Suffah, a sect which currently does not have an
islamic center in the northern suburbs of Chicago. These religious differences
include but are not limited to: the way prayer services are conducted, the topics
preached in prayer services, the prescribed times of prayer, the actual act of the
prayer itself all the way down to the days on which the religious holidays are
celebrated due to lunar moon sightings verses astronomical pre-calculated
calendar differences.

By allowing the Northshore Islamic Center to open by granting the special use
permit at 5144 Main St in Skokie, the Center’s current 2 members and their
family members will be able to establish prayers services at appropriate times as
per their interpretation of the religion, follow their prescribed way of
congregational prayers and offer the space to other future members from the
area of the same following.

Our sect statistically comprises of the one of the smallest number of followers
and therefore are starting out with only 2 members and a smaller footprint
building compared to other Islamic centers in general. We do not anticipate the
mainstream Muslim population becoming members or praying at our Center due
to the fundamental religious differences as described above. The reason the
sect is small is because followers of our sect follow this interpretation based on



Received November 9, 2018
religious proofs and evidences made by a conscious choice verses in other sects
and mainstream Muslims.


Growth and Transition Plan:

2018: 2 Members
2019: 5-7 Members (Plans to Open by Summer of 2019)
2020: 7-12 Members
2021: 12-16 Members
2022: 17-22 Members
2023: 22-28 Members
2024: 28-36 Members

We estimate that based on our above growth estimates, the Northshore Islamic
Center will start looking at other parcels of real estate once it hits approx. 20
regular members. This way as the membership grows larger, the religious
assembly will more easily be able to transition to a larger space relative to its size
and growth allowing it enough time for acquisition, permits and construction, etc.

We would like to point out that we have taken all of the appropriate
steps to establish a nonprofit entity, filled for IRS 501c3 status, fulfilled IL
attorney general requirements, raised funds, started real estate acquisition by
contracting with the seller, applied for village preliminary plan reviews and then
applied for a special use petition.

We will be very thankful to the village trustees if religious assembly use is
granted to us at this space and for giving us the opportunity to start a small
center and being able to practice our religion and take responsibility
in maintaining the center in compliance with federal, state and village standards
and codes. We plan on transitioning to a larger place as the need arises based
on membership growth and will advise membership to be considerate to our
neighbors as they come and go from the center for prayer services.

Times of prayers and attendance in the first 2-3 years:
Regular Schedule
Morning prayer - 5am-6am: 2-3 members
Early afternoon prayer - 12pm-1pm: 3-5 members
Late afternoon prayer -  4pm-5pm: 3-5 members
Evening prayer - 6pm-7pm: 7-8 members
Late evening prayer - 8pm-9pm: 5-7 members




Received November 9, 2018
Fridays
Friday afternoon prayer: 12pm to 1pm: 12-16 members
(Only members who work nearby will attend as members working in other areas
would utilize other centers)

Also knowing that Friday afternoon prayer would be the busiest for the center will
proactively advice all members and request them to get to the center via
collective and other methods such as carpooling, ride sharing, walking and
getting dropped off to offset any parking related issues.

has consistently commended the Village on its excellent disbursement ratio, which is the amount
of outstanding CDBG funding in our Treasury account divided by the Village’s most recent
entitlement amount. The disbursement ratio for the Village was 0.54 at the close of Fiscal Year
2018 (FY18), which was well below the maximum 1.50 allowed by HUD.

To comply with the requirements of the public hearing process, it will be necessary to briefly
reiterate the objectives and priorities of the CDBG program, review the progress of our FY19
projects, and solicit input as to the capital improvement and social service needs of the
community at the December 17 hearing. Funding proposals from Village staff and community
organizations were due December 7, and they will be presented at the second public hearing in
January 2019 (Tuesday, January 22, after the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday). The staff funding
recommendations will be presented for the Board's consideration at the third public hearing on
Monday, February 4. Residents and other interested parties will be invited to comment on the
CDBG program at all of the public hearings.
