He then called for the first item on tonight's agenda. Page 3 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ 16-ZP-38 Requesting approval of a special use permit to allow ‘outdoor storage ’ per Village Ordinance Appendix B, Section 8.2(A) and 8.3(P) at 6801 Howard St. Mr. Sylvester said this item was considered a little over a year ago. It is a request for a special use permit by a masonry business. The owner is here tonight. The business is currently located at 6801 Howard St., just east of the river and south of Howard. This is for outdoor storage. His business requires the need to stockpile materials for masonry work. In Niles, outdoor storage in the M district requires a special use permit. This item was tabled a year when the Village Engineer stated the building and the storage area is actually in the flood plain. When large quantities of material are stored in a flood plain, it diminishes capacity of the flood plain to hold water in a flood event. FEMA regulates in that situation you cannot diminish the capacity of a flood plain unless you provide compensatory storage. The applicant spent ten months with FEMA and an engineer to come up with a plan for how he would meet FEMA’s requirements for compensatory storage. That plan was submitted to the Village Engineer who reviewed and approved it. It now meets all of FEMA’s requirements as well as the Village’s requirements. Now that it has been accomplished it is before this Board again for the special use permit. The Staff does not have concerns about this proposal. Materials will be stored on the south side of the building. They have been there for some time and are not visible because of the building and other properties in the area. Chairman Kanelos ask if the storage is already taking place in the area. Mr. Sylvester said he will have the applicant explain that. The Village allowed him to store materials while going through the FEMA process, which he did in good faith. Commissioner Dubiel asked if the FEMA issues had to be discussed tonight. Chairman Kanelos said no. Commissioner Dubiel said it looks like the 10 ft. set-back gets violated at the site. What is the history behind that? Mr. Sylvester said he is aware of a couple other businesses in the community that have outdoor storage. In the past it has been an issue where they cram too much on the site. Chairman Kanelos asked if there were more questions for Staff. There were none. He called the petitioner to come forward. Edward Marcizewski, 1600 Riverside Ct., Glenview, IL 60025 came forward and was sworn in. He wanted to let the Board know that next door to him the Village Page 4 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ has three times the amount of garbage piled up. He came to Niles because his previous location was too small. He stores old Chicago brick, sand, etc. Winter time he hardly has anything stored because he does not work in the winter. Commissioner Dubiel asked how high the fence is along the side. And also he doesn’t feel the 10 ft. set-back is a big deal. Can it be waived? Mr. Marcizewski said that is the Village’s fence. Mr. Sylvester said the adjacent property belongs to Niles Park District, not the Village of Niles. Mr. Marcizewski said he won’t store things too high because if he did they would start to fall over. Chairman Kanelos asked if there were more questions. There were none. He entertained a motion. Commissioner Dubiel moved to approve item 16-ZP-38 requesting approval of a special use permit to allow ‘outdoor storage’ per Village Ordinance Appendix B, Section 8.2(A) and 8.3(P) at 6801 Howard St. The petitioner has met the FEMA requirement for compensatory storage in a flood plain. The Board will waive the 10 ft. set-back in this particular case. 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 recommendation. 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. Chairman Kanelos called for the next item. 17-ZP-23 Requesting approval of a special use permit to allow a ‘massage services establishment ’ per Village Ordinance Appendix B, Section 8.2(A) at 8068 Milwaukee Avenue. Mr. Sylvester said this is at the multi-tenant 2 story building on the west side of Milwaukee, north of Oakton. Currently this is a vacant space a few doors south of the new Dunkin’ Donuts. The applicant is here tonight with her Page 5 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ translator. This property is zoned C-3 and requires a special use permit. The Community Development Department does have a suggested condition of approval. See page 2, item b in the packet. The applicant must complete a background check to be approved by the Chief of Police before a business license can be issued. All required notifications have been provided. There are no other concerns. Chairman Kanelos asked if the background check is merely for the applicant or for potential employees. Mr. Sylvester suggested it for the business owner. But you can expand that, if you feel it is appropriate, to all future employees. Mr. Ostman said there is a state license that needs to be obtained. He is not sure if they do a background check. Chairman Kanelos called for the petitioner to come to the podium. Ming Shu Li, 8068 N. Milwaukee Ave., Niles, IL, the petitioner, and her translator, YoYo Kim, were sworn in. Ms. Li read a statement saying she is a licensed professional massage service provider. She has been in the massage business for more than 8 years. She has helped patients at the pain and hip rehabilitation clinic where she works. Her clients appreciate her care. So she wants to have her own business to help more people. Commissioner Dubiel asked her if she is licensed. Ms. Li said yes. Chairman Kanelos asked if she has ever owned another business in Niles. Ms. Li said no. Commissioner Schulter asked about the diagram of the location. What is the couple body massage room? Mr. Kim answered for couples to have massages together. Chairman Kanelos asked if there were more questions from the Board or the public. There were none. He entertained a motion. Commissioner Dubiel moved to approve a special use permit to allow a ‘massage services establishment’ per Village Ordinance Appendix B, Section 8.2(A) at 8068 Milwaukee Avenue for case 17-ZP-23 . It meets the Page 6 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ requirements for a special use permit per the findings of fact given in the packet before this Board tonight. 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 recommendation. 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. Chairman Kanelos called for the next item on tonight’s agenda. 17-ZP-24 Requesting approval of a special use permit to allow two (2) 3 ’ x 2’ signs at 7428 Waukegan Road per Village Ordinance Chapter 78, Article 1x, Section 78-208. Mr. Sylvester said Big Blue Swim School opened about two years ago in the former Aldi Store on Waukegan. Business is good but they would like more signage on the site. They would like a sign not only on Waukegan, which is the address with an entrance. It is a through lot with an entrance on Milwaukee as well. Therefore they would also like a sign on Milwaukee. The sign code limits the amount of signage a business can have. The building code does allow them to request a special use permit to allow a second sign. A site plan is shown on the overhead. Also included in the packet are responses about the requirements that need to be met. Elevations of the signage are shown on the overhead. Commissioner Schulter asked if the sign on Waukegan is going on the actual property. Mr. Sylvester said yes. Commissioner Schulter then asked who owns the property along Milwaukee if the sign goes there also. Mr. Sylvester went back to the property diagram on the overhead. It is all one property – it is a through lot. So there would be a sign on their property on Milwaukee and on their property on Waukegan. Chairman Kanelos said he definitely sees a need for a sign on Milwaukee. Why do they need another sign on Waukegan? Page 7 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ Mr. Sylvester will let the petitioner address that. Commissioner Schulter asked if the condominium building next door was notified of this. Mr. Sylvester said yes. The sign inspector, Dennis O’Donovan, sent notices to all based on the PINs for the properties. That was mailed out within the legally required timeline. This does not require a site sign. Mr. Ostman said they are allowed to have one of two ground signs, either on the Waukegan side or the Milwaukee side. On the Waukegan side there is a pole still standing from when Aldi was there. Chairman Kanelos said the request if for two 3’ x 2’ signs but actually one of the signs is larger than 3’ x 2’. Mr. Sylvester said that was pointed out right before this meeting. It is an error in the report. However the elevations are correct. Commissioner Dubiel asked if these types of requests do or do not come before this Board. Mr. Sylvester said they do but not often. Mr. Ostman said when they first developed the sign code [2011] it came in front of the Planning and Zoning Board. Any amendment since then did not. But we took the suggestion of the Chairman to the Building and Zoning Committee that has the authority of reviewing amendments. They recommended that any future amendments come back to this Board for consideration. Commissioner Dubiel said so now they do have authority to do sign code appeals, right? Mr. Ostman said you always had the authority to decide appeals; you also can review any amendments that will be presented to the sign code; the same for the zoning code. Aldi did have signs on both sides. The code was the same back then. He’s not sure how they got that sign on Milwaukee. Commissioner Dubiel asked when someone comes it to apply for a sign, how is it decided that is an appealable situation…… nothing has been denied yet. Mr. Sylvester said this is not an appeal. This is a request for a special use permit. Mr. Ostman said this was recommended a long time ago by a consultant that this comes up as a special use, not a variation. It would have been very hard to meet the variations requirements for a sign. Page 8 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ Mr. Sylvester said after this case, there is another item tonight that is a request for a sign variation. Commissioner DeBartolo said the one on Waukegan looks small. People walking on the sidewalk – it seems unsafe there. Mr. Sylvester said it is on private property. Commissioner Schulter felt it to be unsafe as well. Chairman Kanelos suggested making it a little taller so people aren’t running into the sign. Commissioner Dubiel would like for the signs to be visible so people wouldn’t drive by, all of a sudden see the sign, and then try to turn into the entrance right away. Commissioner Nakanishi asked how high the post is. Chairman Kanelos said it is a little over 2 ft. Commissioner Nakanishi said so it’s approximately 4 ft. with the sign. Kids should be looking where they’re going. Chairman Kanelos said they have to protect people in the Village. He thinks it should be a little taller. There were no more questions for Staff. Chairman Kanelos called the petitioner to the front. Mike Lonergan, representative from Big Blue Swim School, 4618 N. Racine Ave., Chicago, IL 60640 came to the podium and was sworn in. He passed around a picture. Right now the post is just sitting there at 6 ft. tall on Waukegan Rd. They would like to cut it down to 2 ft. But if the Board wants it higher, they can go with that as well. They own the property on the Milwaukee side as well. Commissioner Dubiel asked how high could the sign post be if the special use is passed tonight. Mr. Ostman said maximum height is 20 ft. Commissioner Schulter asked if there would be a line of sight problem if it were only 4 feet. Commissioner Dubiel said he is not opposed to anything anyone said. He Page 9 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ thinks it is up to the applicant. He feels it’s more invasive, the taller it is. Mr. Lonergan said the sign sits back about 8 ft. from Waukegan Rd. People pulling out are well ahead of the sign. Chairman Kanelos entertained a motion. Commissioner DeBartolo moved to approve 17-ZP-24 requesting a special use permit to allow two (2) 3’ x 2’ signs at 7428 Waukegan Road per Village Ordinance Chapter 78, Article 1x, Section 78-208 with a minimum of a 6 ft. pole on the Waukegan side. Also, there is a correction in the description. It should read one 3’ x 2’ sign and one 5’ x 7’ sign – not two 3’ x 2’ signs. Seconded by Commissioner Schulter, on roll call the vote was: AYES: 6 DeBartolo, Schulter, Nakanishi, Parala, Karabatsos, Kanelos NAYS: 1 Dubiel There being six (6) 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 recommendation. 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. Chairman Kanelos called for the next item on the agenda. 17-ZP-25 Requesting approval of a variation to allow three (3) 2 ’ x 8’ temporary feather signs at 7609 Milwaukee Avenue per Village Ordinance Chapter 78, Article 1x, Section 78-209. Mr. Sylvester said the business is Concealed Carry Safety for Person Defense Inc. They were here a couple years ago to obtain a special use permit to provide instruction and training for concealed carry. The business owners would like some additional signage on the site to attract more business. They are requesting 3 permanent feather signs, 2 ft. by 8 ft. This is not something that is allowed in the building code for sign regulations. The ordinance doesn’t have a provision that these are allowed with a special use. In this case, they need a variation. The Community Development Department does have concerns about this request, as this type of sign would be allowed year round on a permanent basis. The sign inspector did provide a mailed notice to property owners in the vicinity. Commissioner Schulter asked if surrounding villages allow these types of signs to be permanent. Page 10 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ Mr. Ostman said they did not do any survey on these banner signs. Right now the sign code allows banner signs up to four months. It was recently discussed at the Building and Zoning Committee meeting to amend and allow banner signs like these up to six months. Then they would have to take them down for six months. The sign code says a maximum of 32 sq. ft. total. For example, if this business had three signs, they cannot exceed 32 sq. ft. total. Commissioner Schulter said what if a business next to this business wanted to put banner signs up next to theirs. Mr. Ostman said it is allowed. There was discussion about the types of permanent signs allowed. If it doesn’t meet the code, then it is a special use request. However, temporary signs revert back to a variation. At issue is the type of sign [feather] and material and the fact the petitioners want it permanent. Commissioner DeBartolo brought photos of feather signs throughout the Village and she stated they have been up longer than 4 months. Attorney Grcic read from code: a banner sign is a temporary sign composed of light-weight material either enclosed or not enclosed in a rigid frame; secured or mounted so as to allow movement of the sign caused by movement of the atmosphere. Mr. Ostman discussed how some temporary signs are accepted, such as lottery signs. Chairman Kanelos stated now they continue reviewing this signage as a variance. He went on to read the code and said the petitioner would have to meet certain criteria. He suggests having these signs in place every day when the business opens, and take them down when the business closes. Commissioner Dubiel read the criteria out loud. Mr. Ostman does not decide. This Board decides. Chairman Kanelos called the petitioners to be sworn in. Marc and Connie Jensen, owners of the business at 7609 N. Milwaukee Ave., Niles. Mrs. Jensen passed out more information as some things had changed. Mr. Jensen said they appreciate all the help and support they have had from this Board and the Board of Trustees. They are set back quite far from Milwaukee Ave. and are looking for ways to be recognized from the street. Signage above their door is not visible from Milwaukee. Page 11 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ Mrs. Jensen said they have tried to get permission from the landlord, Parkway Bank, to add signage. They will not allow it. She brought in pictures of a permitted flag she had out on Milwaukee. It is a 13 ft. flag. That flag has been damaged by the wind. The other permitted sign was stolen. She explained where she wanted to put the flag on the grassy parkway along Milwaukee Ave. She has no plat of survey. Neither does the bank [owner of the property]. It used to be the Niles Village Hall years ago. The Village does not have a plat of survey either. The Jensens do not want to pay $800 for a survey on property that does not belong to them. Mr. Ostman said it is not Village property along Milwaukee Ave. It is IDOT because Milwaukee Avenue is a state route so they own the right of way. Same on Harlem Avenue. There was a very long discussion about property lines, state or otherwise; right of way and site lines. Included in this discussion is more information about the signage the petitioners seek to put up. This went on for almost an hour. They then discussed about placement of the signs on the actual corners of the property and/or just inside the parking lot. Chairman Kanelos entertained a motion to table this item. It can be on the agenda next month and the petitioners can gather more answers about the property lines and where their signs can be placed. More discussion is taking place about placement of signage and their request for temporary signs to become permanent. Commissioner Dubiel moved to table 17-ZP-25 until the November meeting. Seconded by Commissioner Schulter, 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 called for the final item on tonight’s agenda. 17-ZP-21 Continued discussion of proposed text amendments to the following sections of the Village of Niles Zoning Code Appendix B as recommended by the Director of Community Development and the Village Attorney (items 1 through 14 were discussed & approved at the September 2017 meeting): 15) Table 4-1 specifying side-yard set-back requirements for lots with a detached garage in the R-1, R-2 and R-2-35 zoning districts; Page 12 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ NO OBJECTION - these are the set-backs for garages with driveways and no alley accessibility. 16) Section 10.3(B) clarifying impervious surface coverage requirements for parking pads; NO OBJECTION 17) Section 10.2(B) creating rules that require parking facilities within the Village of Niles to be used only for businesses or uses within the Village of Niles; NO OBJECTION – there was discussion about ‘why’. It is not in the best interest of the Village for businesses to be leasing out parking -example being a large lot. Mr. Sylvester gave an example of a business on Touhy in Chicago wanting to lease parking behind it which is in Niles. 18) Section 10.9 creating standards for when parking traffic studies will be required by the Village; NO OBJECTION – however Attorney Grcic has an amendment to this item. Language added should be: a traffic study approved by the Village of Niles. 19) Section 7.1(A) clarifying uses allowed within the ‘P-1’ zoning district; NO OBJECTION – Attorney Grcic recommends changing the wording from ‘private institutions’ to ‘quasi-public institutions’. She explained how it should be defined such as: a private school with a purpose serving the public. 20) Section 12.6(B) creating requirements for letters of credit, cash deposits, or bonds for public and common area improvements in planned unit developments; NO OBJECTION 21) Section 11.11 specifying street tree requirements for new construction projects; NO OBJECTION – specifies the builder needs to do whatever the Village requires outside of the zoning ordinance. The requirement is a tree needs to be provided every 40 ft. of frontage in the parkway. 22) Section 10.3(C)(4)(c) correcting a mistaken reference to Section 9.3(H); NO OBJECTION – Chairman Kanelos asked what happens if someone has a three car garage – they can’t put in a driveway to accommodate a three car garage. Mr. Sylvester answered starting at the garage, the driveway may exceed 20 ft. 23) Section 10.1(B) specifying that parking must be provided for increases in the intensity of use of any structure or land; NO OBJECTION Page 13 of 15 Planning and Zoning Board Approved Meeting Minutes October 2, 2017 _________________________________________________________________ _______ 24) Section 11.6(E) specifying that a decorative fence and landscaping may be provided in lieu of parking lot perimeter landscape requirements with the approval of the Director of Community Development; NO OBJECTION – change the wording from ‘should’ to ‘shall’. 25) Table 8-1 adding ‘enclosed’ sales of vehicles, marine and recreational vehicles as a permitted use in the manufacturing zoning district and ‘outdoor’ sales of vehicles, marine, and recreational vehicles as a special use in the manufacturing zoning district. NO OBJECTION Commissioner Dubiel moved to adopt the text amendments to the appropriate modifications. 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 asked if there were no objections from Staff, he would like to table the following four points under DISCUSSIONS. DISCUSSIONS 1. Notification requirements for public hearings 2. Carport set-back requirements and variation procedures for proposed carport expansions 3. Non-retail land uses on corners in commercial zoning districts 4. Sign code amendments Commissioner Nakanishi moved to table the DISCUSSIONS until the November meeting. Seconded by Commissioner Schulter, 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.
