NEW BUSINESS
Chairman Kanelos called for the first item on tonight's agenda.
For some reason the beginning of the meeting did not record. The recording
starts with the approval of this item at the end of its presentation and continues
for the entire rest of the meeting.
16-ZP-36 - Requesting approval of a plat of subdivision for lands
located at 5757-5959 Howard Street.
Rich Wlodarski presented this case. It is regarding the FedEx property at
Howard St. and Menard Ave. The distribution center is on the west side of
Menard. The employee and truck parking is on the east side of Menard Ave.
Commissioner Dubiel thought this request had already been put before this
Board.
Mr. Wlodarski said that the property at 5757 Howard did come before this Board
during the year for a fence variation.

_______
Chairman Kanelos asked for the petitioner to come forward.
Brett Duffy, SpaceCo, 9575 Higgins Rd., Suite 700, Rosemont, came to the
podium and was sworn in. He added a few comments to what Mr. Wlodarski
already presented.
Chairman Kanelos entertained a motion.
Commissioner Dubiel moved to approve 16-ZP-36 requesting approval of a plat
of subdivision for lands located at 5757-5959 Howard Street.
Seconded by Commissioner DeBartolo, on roll call the vote was:
AYES: 7 Dubiel, Karabatsos, DeBartolo, Schulter,
Nakanishi, Parala, Kanelos
NAYS: 0
There being seven (7) affirmative votes the motion carried.
Chairman Kanelos stated this Board is a recommending Board to the Board
of Trustees who can either confirm or negate this decision. It will be
necessary for the petitioner to contact Mr. Ostman and ask to be placed on
the Board of Trustees agenda. The petitioner will then be notified of the date.
Anyone in the audience who would like to be informed as to the date
this will be heard by the Board of Trustees, leave your name and address with the
recording secretary.
16-ZP-37 - Requesting approval of a special use permit per Village
Ordinance Appendix B, Sections VIII(B)(3)(u) and
VIII(C)(3)(a) to allow a commercial school at 7017
Milwaukee Avenue.
Rich Wlodarski said this location is next to Sherwin Williams Paint on Milwaukee
Ave. This special use was requested under the old zoning code.
Chairman Kanelos asked how does this jibe with the 2030 building code and the
new code that says anything within 250 ft. of an intersection has to be retail.
Mr. Ostman said the petitioner is asking this to be considered since the lease was
signed prior to the new zoning code.
Commissioner Dubiel said there was some concern about a school where young
children might be attending. Are we casting too tight of a net having a school of
this nature - that they have to come before this Board for a special use. It is
straight forward, self contained, not a high risk thing.
Mr. Ostman stated it is a CPR school.

Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes November 7, 2016
_________________________________________________________________
_______
Mr. Wlodarski said they have to make sure there is enough parking, no matter
what type of school it is.
Commissioner Dubiel said you mean for the net number of students. OK.
Chairman Kanelos said so the special use will allow the non-retail facility within
250 ft. or is it because they were entered into the lease prior to the new code.
Mr. Ostman said it was prior to the new code.
Commissioner Karabatsos said what happens if it is within the 250 ft. before the
lease.
Mr. Wlodarski said since the Board is reviewing this under the old zoning code,
that will not apply. If the petitioner came to the Village today, it definitely would
apply.
Chairman Kanelos asked why is the Board hearing this in November if this was
submitted prior July 1, 2016.
Mr. Wlodarski said the applicant will explain.
Chairman Kanelos asked if there were other questions from the Commissioners
for Staff. There were none. He called the petitioner to the podium.
Kyle Nowack, 7017 N. Milwaukee Ave., Niles came forward and was sworn in.
He would like to discuss parking. They will not have classes larger than twelve
students. Most classes will be between six and twelve. He signed the lease
June 13, 2016. After signing, there was a delay in getting the building ready.
There was water in the space which had to be taken care of. The landlord also
needed to store his construction equipment for the buildings being built next door.
The lease was effective that same date. They have been credited for time lost in
not being able to occupy the space.
Chairman Kanelos asked if there were other questions for the petitioner or Staff.
There were none. No public questions either. He entertained a motion.
Commissioner Nakanishi moved to approve 16-ZP-37 requesting approval of a
special use permit to allow a CPR training school at 7017 Milwaukee Avenue.
The special use is necessary for the public convenience at the proposed location.
It is designed, located and proposed to be operated so that the public health,
safety and welfare will be protected. It will not cause substantial injury to the
value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located.
Chairman Kanelos asked if there was an issue with parking.

_________________________________________________________________
_______
Commissioner Dubiel said once a motion is made there can be no additional
questions.
Chairman Kanelos said that is not the case. He can actually decide if there can
be more discussion after a motion is made.
Mr. Ostman said there are no parking issues.
Chairman Kanelos entertained a motion.
Seconded by Commissioner Dubiel, on roll call the vote was:
AYES: 7 Nakanishi, Parala, Dubiel, Karabatsos,
DeBartolo, Schulter, Kanelos
NAYS: 0
There being seven (7) affirmative votes the motion carried.

16-ZP-38 - Requesting approval of a special use permit to allow
outdoor storage at 6801 Howard Street, Niles, per Village
Ordinance Appendix B, Section 8.2(A) and 8.3 (P).
Rich Wlodarski said the petitioner had already stored things at this property not
knowing he needed a business license or that this required a special use. They
have been working on the place and cleaning it up in order to obtain a special use
permit through Staff. Part of what is required for outside storage in this particular
location is an engineering submittal to show how much they can get on the
property because it is in a flood plain. The information requested was submitted
this past Friday. Engineering has not had a chance to review it. He wants the
Board to be aware this could take a week or more. This may affect the Board's
decision about moving forward this evening or waiting for the report.
Chairman Kanelos asked if there was a pressing issue to vote on this before
getting the engineering report.
Mr. Wlodarski said no.
Chairman Kanelos said he understands the petitioner is already in the building
and storing things. Because of the flooding issues in this town, he would like to
Page 7 of 15
Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes November 7, 2016
_________________________________________________________________
_______
wait until the engineer's report is complete. He would like to entertain motion to
table this until next meeting.
Commissioner Nakanishi moved to table 16-ZP-38 requesting approval of a
special use permit to allow outdoor storage at 6801 Howard Street, Niles, per
Village Ordinance Appendix B, Section 8.2(A) and 8.3 (P).
Seconded by Commissioner DeBartolo, on roll call the vote was:
AYES: 5 Nakanishi, Parala, DeBartolo, Schulter,
Kanelos
NAYS: 2 Dubiel, Karabatsos
There being five (5) affirmative votes the motion carried.
16-ZP-39 - Requesting approval of a special use permit to allow
additional cellular phone equipment on an existing
monopole located at 7500 Caldwell Avenue, Niles, per
Village of Niles Zoning Ordinance Appendix B, Section
8.3(Y).
Mr. Wlodarski said Staff recommends approval. The rest of his presentation was
inaudible.
Chairman Kanelos said Stu Chapman is the consultant to the Village of Niles on
all cell tower issues. Because of federal law, if this Board doesn't approve it
tonight, it will be approved automatically. It goes with a positive recommendation
to the Trustees.
Commissioner Dubiel said the report mentioned an ice bridge. What is that?
Commissioner Karabatsos said it is a tray underneath to catch/break the ice
before it falls.
There were no more questions from the Commissioners or the public.
Chairman Kanelos entertained a motion.
Commissioner DeBartolo moved to approve 16-ZP-39 requesting a special use
permit to allow additional cellular phone equipment on an existing monopole
located at 7500 Caldwell Avenue, Niles, per Village of Niles Zoning Ordinance
Appendix B, Section 8.3(Y).
Seconded by Commissioner Dubiel, on roll call the vote was:
AYES: 7 DeBartolo, Schulter, Nakanishi, Parala,
Dubiel, Karabatsos, Kanelos

16-ZP-40 - Requesting approval of a 7 foot variation from corner
side yard set-back requirements per Village of Niles
Zoning Ordinance Appendix B, Section 4.3(A) to allow an
addition onto the north side of the existing house at 8353
North Newland Avenue that will be 18 feet from the
northern most lot line where 25 feet is required.
Mr. Wlodarski said this is unique. It is almost like an interior lot but it's not
because there is a street that runs through it that serves property in Morton
Grove. It just happens to be a Niles street because there is a big easement that
runs through there. It is considered a corner lot by zoning.
Chairman Kanelos asked to see the site plan on the overhead. It shows the
addition. The garage is already 18 ft. off the property line. So the extension in
the back is not going to come out any further, correct?
Mr. Wlodarski said correct.
Commissioner Dubiel had a question for Mr. Ostman. This home was probably
built in the late 60s. The original set back allowed this 18 ft. in the original code.
Since then, the Village has tightened it to 25 ft., correct? So that is the reason for
this variation.
Mr. Ostman said correct.
Chairman Kanelos said there were no other questions from the Commissioners
and called for the petitioner.
Vijay Patel, 8353 N. Newland Ave., Niles, came forward and was sworn in.
He had nothing to add. Mr. Wlodarski explained everything in his presentation.
Chairman Kanelos asked if there were any questions for the petitioner from the
Commissioners or any questions from the public. There were none. He then
entertained a motion.
Commissioner Dubiel moved to approve 16-ZP-40 requesting approval of a 7
foot variation from corner side yard set-back requirements to allow an addition

16-ZP-41 - Requesting approval of parking credits per Zoning
Ordinance Section 15.10 for a proposed new restaurant
business in a multi-tenant building located at 9347-9371
Milwaukee Avenue.
Mr. Wlodarski said the biggest issue is that it requires more parking. But the
Fresenius place mostly has people being dropped off. So they don't use nearly
the number of spaces required. For that reason, no parking credits are required.
Chairman Kanelos said 9371 is the dialysis place. They require 70 stalls.
How many stations are in the dialysis place?
Commissioner Dubiel said if this parking credit is granted and Fresenius then
vacates, how would we function with this credit. Are there limitations or would it
be restricted?
Mr. Wlodarski said the reason they are in front of this Board now is because the
proposed restaurant claims a certain amount which obviously they don't need. If
they go out and another retail space moves in, with the same amount of square
footage, [inaudible].
Chairman Kanelos asked if, in a case like this, does the credit only pertain to the
existing business.
Mr. Ostman said exactly.
Chairman Kanelos said so if any one of these spaces in the strip mall would be
vacated and a new company comes in, they would have to come before this
Board.
Page 10 of 15
Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes November 7, 2016
_________________________________________________________________
_______
Mr. Ostman said correct.
Commissioner Dubiel said let's say 9351 is vacant. He comes in there; he only
has 8 spaces and he is required to have 8 spaces. He wouldn't have to come
before the board, right? Or are they going to look at the entire space?
Chairman Kanelos said they always look at the entire space for parking.
Mr. Ostman said they are looking at the entire shopping center.
Commissioner Dubiel said so in granting this, are we making it harder to rent
vacant space in this center? There are two vacancies.
Mr. Ostman said he'd have to figure out how the new code reads. He'll have to
get back to him with that information.
Chairman Kanelos asked if there were any more questions for Staff. There were
none.
Commissioner Dubiel said the new café is required to have 19 spaces. But this
new vacancy only has 15? If the area square footage is the same, and the
formula is the same, why do they come up with different numbers.
There was much discussion among the Commissioners about this issue.
Obviously it was incorrect in the report.
Chairman Kanelos said there is an issue here. He called the petitioner forward.
Ronald Grace, Attorney, 30 N. LaSalle St., Chicago. He built this center in 1968.
The dialysis center has been there 9 years. They just extended their lease
another 5 years. If they required more spaces, then the issue would arise again.
Because the code requires a different number of required parking spaces for
each type of use, that's the regulation that applies. If there were not sufficient
spaces for the uses in the future, then the Board would have the opportunity to
look at it again. The numbers that came from Fresenius are pretty exact. They
have 32 patients per shift. Just under 70% of them arrive by van or taxi. There
are two shifts per day. They need 10 spaces for patients and 18 for the staff. So
they do not require 70 spaces just because that is the way the ordinance is
written. Where is the credit to reduce the requirement for Fresenius rather than
the other users?
Commissioner Dubiel asked Staff about the chart.
Mr. Wlodarski clarified Bruce [Sylvester] did take in the non-square footages of
the kitchen. He should have indicated how much space was non-kitchen. If the
dialysis space did go out, it's is figured right now at 5 per 1,000. But it is a retail
Page 11 of 15
Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes November 7, 2016
_________________________________________________________________
_______
center, so anyone else would be figured at 3 per 1,000, not 5 per 1,000. That
would lessen the overall effect on ……..
Chairman Kanelos asked - but the 5 per 1,000 is because it's medical? And if a
restaurant would go in there, it would be 10 per 1,000? In essence, because
they've been given credits, anything that would take the total above 123 stalls
would have to come before this Board.
Mr. Wlodarski said correct.
Commissioner Dubiel was questioning non-kitchen areas.
Again, much discussion back and forth about the arrival at number of parking
credits issued.
Commissioner Schulter asked once the parking is eliminated and the patio is in
place, what will be done to insure safety of patrons dining on the patio.
Mr. Grace said there will be a guard rail.
Commissioner Dubiel summarized to Mr. Grace there are currently 123 parking
spaces. He is over that amount now. Once this restaurant is built, it will lower it
so there will be a net of 113.
Mr. Grace said right now there are 133, net out to 123.
Commissioner Dubiel said that is 22 stalls below the requirement per code
[inaudible]. Is there a restriction in Fresenius' lease to just 28 stalls?
Mr. Grace said there is not.
Chairman Kanelos asked the capacity and square footage of the patio.
Marilyn Grace, 680 N. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, came forward and was sworn
in. She is the manager and handles leasing at the center for the past 20 years.
The outdoor usage depends on the size of the tables used. Round or
rectangular? It is up to the architect to come up with the number. They don't
anticipate more than 20 because of the circulation needed to get around the
tables. Proposed size is 16 x 20.
Chairman Kanelos asked how many months the patio will be open.
Mrs. Grace said the tenant is not planning on putting heating lights in so probably
4 to 5 months tops.
There is no language in the zoning code that accounts for outdoor dining.

Commissioner Dubiel gave more discussion on the net net net of the number of
spots.
Chairman Kanelos asked if there were more questions for the petitioner. There
were none. There were no questions from the public either. He
entertained a motion.
Commissioner Dubiel moved to approve 16-ZP-41 - a request for parking
credits per Zoning Ordinance Section 15.10 for a proposal to eliminate parking
stalls and add a restaurant business at 9347-9371 Milwaukee Avenue.
Seconded by Commissioner DeBartolo, on roll call the vote was:

Nakanishi, Parala, Kanelos

Chairman Kanelos called for the final item on tonight's agenda.
16-ZP-42 - Requesting approval of parking credits per Zoning
Ordinance Section 15.10 for a proposed new restaurant
business in a multi-tenant building located at 8808
Milwaukee Avenue.
Rich Wlodarski stated this location is the old Rossini's at Milwaukee and
Dempster. The petitioner had to come in front of this Board because the former
restaurant has been closed for more than six months. [some of the content is
inaudible].
There were no questions from Staff.
Chairman Kanelos called for the petitioner to come to the podium and be sworn
in.
David Lidstrom, 731 Garfield, Libertyville, said he did not realize he needed
parking credits. He found out from the landlord there is a lease restriction with
the furniture store on the parking stalls. Mr. Lidstrom gets 28 stalls. If they didn't
have a restriction [inaudible].

Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes November 7, 2016
_________________________________________________________________
_______
Commissioner Dubiel said this is a similar situation as the case before. He feels
they are not getting to the right formula.
Chairman Kanelos asked if this number of 2,700 sq. ft. is inclusive of the kitchen
or is this a larger restaurant and is the 2,700 sq. ft. net of the kitchen.
Mr. Wlodarski guessed that would be the table area, not the kitchen. The
applicant would have to confirm that number.
Mr. Lidstrom said including the bar area [he subtracted the back bar]. He did the
calculations and did not include the kitchen.
Chairman Kanelos asked if these numbers are always provided by the petitioner
and then verified by Staff?
Mr. Wlodarski can't answer that. He thinks more often than not Staff would have
information from an architect or from a drawing. In this case it is an existing
space.
Commissioner Dubiel feels there is an inconsistent method for collecting data.
He is comparing this request with the previous one that the formula seems to be
different.
Chairman Kanelos asked if, in the future, there can be a policy where the Board
can verify for themselves the square footage of the property. They would to see
a layout. There were no more questions from the Commissioners or from the
public for the petitioner. He entertained a motion.
Commissioner Dubiel moved to approve 16-ZP-42 request for parking credits
per Zoning Ordinance Section 15.10 for a proposed new restaurant business
located at 8808 Milwaukee Avenue.
