SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, JUNE 5,2023
A. Adoption of FY2024 Budget.
The attached memorandum is a summary of actions and decisions made by the
Mayor and Board of Trustees during their review of the FY2024 Budget. These
actions are the result of three public hearings conducted by the Board in April.
In summary, the FY2024 General Fund Budget, or operating budget, equates to
$67,259,671. All funds, including Water, Pension, Economic Development, Motor
Fuel and Local Fuel Tax, Self-lnsurance, General Obligation Bonded Debt, Tax
Increment Financing, Federal Aid, Performing Arts Center, Convention and
Visitors Bureau, Special Service Areas, Wireless Alarms and Capital Improvement
Program total $154,600,571.
Mayor and Board approval of the FY2024 Budget is respectfully requested.
B. Election and Districting Legal Services.
In the November 2022 Election, Skokie residents approved three referendums
that changed Skokie Village Board elections to non-partisan, staggered terms for
Trustees and representation through the creation of four geographic districts
represented by one trustee each and two at-large trustee representatives. In
anticipation of executing these electoral changes, Village staff pursued the
engagement of a consultant specializing in election law to assist with referendum
implementation. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was solicited and three bid
responses were received. It is staff's recommendation that a contract for Election
and Districting Legal Services be awarded to Klein, Thorpe & Jenkins (KTJ) in an
amount not to exceed $36,750. KTJ represents over 30 municipalities as general
counsel and has decades of experience in election related matters. I concur with
staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval.
C. Recommendation for Adoption of Building Code Amendments.
Periodically, the staff reviews and revises Village Codes. As a result of a recent
review of the Building Codes, staff recommends amendments to define new
construction, add email as a method of service, clarify penalty fees associated
with work without permits, reduce submission requirements for permit applications
611661
Return to Agenda
to facilitate easier processing for customers and the Village and addition of
Property Maintenance Codes language that clarifies some elements to be
inspected during round inspections. I concur with staff's recommendation. The
Mayor and Board are respectfully requested to authorize Corporation Counsel to
draft the necessary changes.
* D. Skokie Valley Trail (Dempster Street to Golf Road) - Joint Funding
Agreement - Right of Way.
The Village is completing design engineering for the improvement of the Skokie
Valley Trail between Dempster Street and Golf Road. In order to finalize the
design and proceed to construction, the Village must enter into an agreement with
the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) governing the required right of
way (ROW) acquisition. $448,000 of grant funding was secured for ROW
acquisition leaving the Village's estimated cost at $189,200. Completion of the
trail is scheduled for 2024. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully
request Mayor and Board approval of a Resolution authorizing execution of the
subject Local Public Agency Joint Funding Agreement for State-Let Construction
Projects with the State of lliinois.
* E. 2023 Non-Arterial Street Resurfacing Program ~ D'Land Construction LLC,
Alaonauin, Illinois - $4,478,470,92.
This project provides for the resurfacing of approximately 3.84 miles of residential
streets, which will include 19 streets within the Village. Motor Fuel Tax, Local Fuel
Tax and General Revenue wilt be used to fund the cost of the project. It is
recommended that a contract be awarded to D'Land Construction LLC, the lowest
responsive and responsible bidder, in the amount of $4,478,470.92. This firm is
pre-qualified by the Illinois Department of Transportation and has worked with the
Village on numerous resurfacing projects with satisfactory results. I concur with
staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval.
* F. 2023 Thermoplastic Pavement Marking Maintenance Contract - Superior
Road Striping, Melrose Park, Illinois " $90,000.
The Village purchases thermoplastic pavement marking maintenance on an
annual basis. Pricing for thermoplastic pavement marking services was obtained
through the Northwest Municipal Conference's joint bid procedure. The
conference bids this contract once every three years and reserves the right to
extend the contract for up to three additional one-year terms upon mutual
agreement on a negotiated basis. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder
was Superior Road Striping. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully
request Mayor and Board approval of a contract in the amount not to exceed
$90,000 to be awarded to Superior Road Striping.
* G. Purchase of Two Public Works Administration Ford Explorer Hybrid
Vehicles - Community Ford of Bloominqton Indiana - $92,259.50.
The Public Works administration needs to replace a Public Works vehicle that is a
2011 Expedition mode! with 70,000 miles and a 2012 Explorer model with over
110,000 miles of usage. With the downsizing of the Expedition model to a hybrid
SUV, we will see a mile per gallon efficiency gain of over 75%. Due to the nature
of how these vehicles are used and random nature of emergency weather
611661
response operations, hybrid propulsion is the preferred solution over electric at
this time. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget contains funding for
these replacements. Additional purchasing funds will be provided by the vehicle
contingency account to cover the inflation cost of the vehicles. I concur with staff’s
recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval of this
purchase from Community Ford of Bloomington Indiana in the amount of
$92,259.50.
H. Request for Executive Session.
Pursuant to Section 2, Paragraph C.11 of the State of Illinois Open Meetings Act,
a closed session is requested and to adjourn therefrom.

II. REVENUES
The final revenue estimates for FY2024 are sufficient to cover operational and capital
expenditures with few exceptions of planned fund balance utilization. General Fund revenues are
estimated at $67,570,090. There are no new fees or taxes in the FY24 General fund revenue
budget. The FY24 budget incorporates $800,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant
funds, consistent with anticipated eligible expenditures, namely for the re-hiring of positions
frozen during the pandemic.
Water Fund revenues total $16,974,101, inclusive of a 43 cents per 100 cubic feet water rate
increase ($4.32 increase to minimum bill). Even with the increase, water fund revenues are not
sufficient to cover operational and capital planned expenditures, requiring approximately
$613,000 in reserve utilization, for total available funding of $17,587,397. The entirety of the
reserve utilization will cover additional capital investment in water, sewer, and flood control.
The Village's water rate remains competitive among area communities even with the approved
increase.
General revenues allocated to the Capital Improvements Program are estimated at $8,326,100. In
total, revenue estimates for the CIP total $24,161,212, with $15,835,112 committed to capital
projects by other funds like MFT, LFT, EDF, TIF, etc. Funding for public pensions m total is
estimated at $29,893,326, inclusive of employer/employee contributions as well as expected
investment returns. Of this total, the Village s actuarily required contribution (necessary to cover
annually accmed benefits and the amortization of any unfunded liabilities) for Fire, Police, and
IMRF pensions is anticipated at $4,793,772, stabilized from prior years, thanks to the one-time
funding of the Fire and Police pension funds through the issuance of Pension Obligation Bonds
in early 2022. Revenue allocated to the repayment of debt has consequently increased to
$17,498,923, inclusive of the POB debt service, as well as Skokie Public Library outstanding
debt (funded by the Library through an intergovernmental transfer).
Revenue estimates for all three of the Village's TIFs is $5,950,000, of which $4,275,532 are
planned transfers to debt and capital. Revenue for self-insurance operations and claims is
estimated at $3,674,975. Revenue estimates from all other remaining funds total $5,398,802.
Included in other funds are revenues earmarked for specific purposes, like economic
development, fuel taxes, performing arts, wireless alarms. Special Service Areas, etc.

Joint Funding Agreementm Right of Way
The Village of Skokie is completing design engineering for the improvement of the Skokie
Valley Trail between Dempster Street and Golf Road. In order to finalize the design and proceed
to construction, the Village must enter into an agreement with the Illinois Department Of
Transportation(IDOT) governing the required right of way(ROW) acquisition. The Village
secured funding from the Local Transportation Alternatives Programs (TAP-L), which is through
the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), towards the design and extension of the
Skokie Valley Trail (Dempster Street to Golf Road). $448,000 of grant funding was secured for
ROW acquisition leaving the Village's estimated cost at $189,200. The Village continues to
pursue funding opportunities to lower our portion of the cost, but funding is in place if we are
unable to secure additional funding. Completion of the trail is currently scheduled for 2024, but
the execution of this agreement is required in order to finalize design, obtain ROW and proceed
to construction. A project location map is attached.
Please present this recommendation to the Mayor and Board of Trustees for review and approval
at the June 5, 2023 regularly scheduled meeting:

DATE: May 1,2023
SUBJECT: Purchase of Two Admin Ford Explorer Hybrids. (Agenda Item)
Pricing for the replacement of two (2) Public Works fleet vehicles were obtained through
Community Ford ofBloomington Indiana Government Purchasing Contract # QS029.
Budget Amount Account Numberi Project Number:
$42,000 020-6000-407.07-42 OR61002
$32,000 002-6000-407.07-42 OR64133
Tabulation:
Community Ford of Bloomington Indiana, 47401
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the award for two (2) 2023 Ford Explorer Hybrids be awarded to
Community Ford of Bloomington Indiana, in the amount of $92,259.50.
Comments:
The CIP budget provides funding for the replacement of two (2) Public Works
Administrative vehicles. The vehicles being replaced are unit #88 and #178. Unit #88 is
a 2011 extended- size Ford Expedition 4WD which has 70,000 miles of use, and Unit
#178 is a 2012 Ford Explorer which accrued over 110,000 miles of usage. Both vehicles
are utilized by the Public Works Department supervisory staff for daily and emergency
operations and have been constantly exposed to road salt and other outside elements,
causing large amounts of frame and body rust. These units are also experiencing
electrical component failures as well as worn mechanical systems from use and will be
disposed of during one of the upcoming government equipment auctions. Additional
purchasing funds will be provided by the vehicle contingency account to cover the
inflation costs of the vehicles.
Electric options for these vehicles were extensively explored; however, due to the nature
of how these vehicles are used and the duration and random nature of emergency weather
response operations, hybrid propulsion is the preferred solution at this time. Both new

units will be standard size SUVs with hybrid propulsion systems. With the downsizing
of Unit #88 from an extended-size 4WD V8 SUV to a hybrid SUV, we will see a mile per
gallon efficiency gain of over 75%.
The Village is currently dealing with Community Ford for the purchase of 10 other
Explorer Hybrid vehicles for police and public works and does not foresee any issues or
concerns. Community Ford is currently the only dealership honoring a government
discount.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2023-02P: Special Use Permit
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, June 5, 2023
To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Case 2023-02P: Special Use Permit (drive-through)
5252 Dempster Street
PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its April 20, 2023, the Plan Commission heard a request for a special use permit for a
drive-through for a Dunkin’ -Baskin Robbins limited service restaurant at 5252 Dempster in a
B3 Business zoning district, relief from §118-218 to provide 16 parking spaces rather than
the required 19 parking spaces, and relief from §118-212(i)(1) to allow continuous curbing
less than 6’ from and parallel to any property line adjacent to a street frontage.
The petitioner, Dempster Lockwood, LLC, represented by Reena Khowaja is proposing to
adaptively reuse 14,600 square feet of a former commercial site. The previous financial
institution used drive-thru operations, but has been used for temporary office space recently.
The Dempster-Lockwood location design offers better parking conditions, an efficient drive-
thru queue, and refurbished exterior aesthetics, all while staying sensitive to the surrounding
residential area. There is no proposed outdoor seating at this location.
The applicant will also be taking sustainability into consideration as part of their business
plan and ongoing management of the property, including:
• Paper based cups and packaging, replacing plastic packaging,
• Wood stir sticks,
• Energy efficient LED lighting,
• Zero VOC paint, and
• Corporate is studying feasibility of recycling and composting.
As part of the Village’s environmental review, staff noted Complete Streets components and
the enforcement of stormwater management regulations, the plumbing code, the energy
conservation code, tree protection and replacement, and the installation of landscape
plantings.
In addition to the Plan Commission’s review of case 2023-02P, the Commissioners also
discussed potential development of a drive-through policy as a separate agenda item on April
20th. The Policy, reflecting the Plan Commission’s discussion is included as an attachment to
this memorandum. Understanding the concerns associated with drive-through operations in
an urban environment, the applicant has incorporated a number of these policies into this
project. This includes:
• Providing a net of five additional trees,
• Reduced parking on site,
• Providing mobile ordering options and dedicated mobile order parking,
VOSDOCS-#611393-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_2023-02P_Special_Use_Permit_5256_Dempster 1
Return to 2023-02P
• Investigating recycling and composting options
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
The Plan Commissioners discussed the parking layout noting the 6 spaces adjacent to the
alley near the transformer. Staff stated that in older commercial areas such as this, many of
the parking spaces are oriented off the alley and most likely used for employee parking. The
Plan Commissioners also inquired about the litter in the parking lot of the current location
and suggested additional trash receptacles and clearing the area every 4 hours of debris.
The applicant agreed that it is an issue and has made it a priority especially the alley area.
Staff requested the report be entered into the record as presented and is in support of the
project including the 2 items of relief. The Appearance Commission approved the case at its
February 8, 2023 meeting.
INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as
prescribed by the Zoning chapter of the Village Code.
Neighbors stated that the bank was a very light use and a quiet neighbor. They have
reservations about living across the alley from a Dunkin’ with a drive-through. They voiced
concerns about the poor condition of the alley and the increase in activity for parking access;
damage to property when cars back up into the alley; the potential for interruptions or
outages of internet or electricity if damage occurs to the utility boxes being among parked
cars; water run-off from the commercial property; loitering; littering; lights shining into
residential properties; difficulty driving out of the alley during peak times (7:30 AM) and
noise from speeding cars or music.
Commissioners suggested the use of guardrails or bollards in the alley to protect residential
property as well as allowing the neighbors to have a higher alley fence to block light and
noise. Upon further consultation, the residents were advised that any relief from fence height
will need to be undertaken by each individual property owner. They also made inquiries of
Village staff about snow removal. Staff answered that there is space on the site for snow
storage or the applicant will haul snow offsite. Staff is not supportive of private entities
maintaining snow operations on the public streets or alleys.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
On February 8, 2023, the Appearance Commission provided a Certificate of Completeness to
Kolbrook Design Inc on behalf of Applicant (2023-001A). The approval was subject to
applicant removing a sign on the North façade and better centering a sign on the East
façade, both modifications have been made.
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by votes of 7 ayes, 0 nays, and 2 absent that the
petitioner’s request for a Special Use Permit for a Drive-Through Facility (2023-02P) be

member.
A motion to approve the minutes of the Plan Commission meeting of March 16, 2023 was made
by Commissioner J. Burman and seconded by Commissioner S. Berman. Motion passed by voice
vote.
Case Description:
2023-02P: Special Use Permit: 5252 Dempster Street
Dempster Lockwood, LLC, requests a special use permit for a drive-through for a Dunkin’ -
Baskin Robbins limited service restaurant in a B3 Business zoning district, relief from §118-218
to provide 17 parking spaces rather than the required 19 parking spaces, relief from §118-
212(i)(1) to allow continuous curbing less than 6’ from and parallel to any property line
adjacent to a street frontage, and any other relief that may be discovered during the review of
this case.
PIN: 10-16-332-053-0000
Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as prescribed
by the Zoning Chapter. Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct.
Ms. Reena Panjwani Khowaja, a Dunkin’- Baskin franchisee, spoke of her family’s association
with Skokie and the Dunkin’ brand. They have been members of the community since 1981 and
owners since 1986. In fact, the Panjwani family owns all the Dunkin’ - Baskin businesses in
Skokie and surrounding areas. They are very involved in the daily operation of all their stores.
Currently, the Touhy Avenue location is undergoing renovations adding a drive-through
component. Ms. Khowaja announced that her father passed away last month. Commissioners
offered their condolences for her loss.
The existing Dunkin’ location in the strip mall at Dempster and Gross Point Road does not have
a drive-through and, even pre-COVID, has suffered quite a bit with its absence. It is a
challenging site to try to add one. The new location at the northeast corner of Dempster and
Lockwood was a Byline Bank with a drive-through facility closed 5 years ago. They plan on
retro-fitting into the building and shave down the site plan to utilize the existing drive-through.
They do not propose a 24-hour operation but will consider it if the area dictates the need. Ms.
Khowaja mentioned the parking relief needed as they are providing 16 parking spaces rather
than the 19 spaces required. Ingress and egress will be from Dempster Street and the public
alley to the north. The curb cut on Lockwood will be removed. The alley will be widened to
accommodate the increase in activity. Dry goods deliveries will take place once a week during
non-peak hours; usually between 10 AM and early afternoon. There will not be an outdoor
patio at this location.
610729 - Plan Commission meeting minutes – April 20, 2023 – Dunkin’/Baskin Robbin
Return to 2023-02P
Ms. Khowaja offered details of the drive-through operation stating that it is all about speed and
their goal is to be as efficient as possible getting customers in and out with 9 stacking spaces.
Vehicles will exit on site and not onto a public way. They will encourage phone orders and
orders to go with a designated parking area for pick-up in store.
The commissioners discussed the parking layout noting the 6 spaces adjacent to the alley near
the transformer. Staff stated that in older commercial areas such as this, many of the parking
spaces are oriented off the alley and most likely used for employee parking. The commissioners
also inquired about the litter in the parking lot of the current location and suggested additional
trash receptacles and clearing the area every 4 hours of debris. The applicant agreed that it is
an issue and has made it a priority especially the alley area.
Staff requested the report be entered into the record as presented and is in support of the
project including the 2 items of relief. The Appearance Commission approved the case at its
February 8, 2023 meeting.
Neighbors stated that the bank was a very light use and a quiet neighbor. They have
reservations about living across the alley from a Dunkin’ Donuts with a drive-through. They
voiced concerns about the poor condition of the alley and the increase in activity for parking
access; damage to property when cars back up into the alley; the potential for interruptions or
outages of internet or electricity if damage occurs to the utility boxes being among parked cars;
water run-off from the commercial property; loitering; littering; lights shining into residential
properties; difficulty driving out of the alley during peak times (7:30 AM) and noise from
speeding cars or music. They mentioned a meeting they had with Reena before this hearing
and found her to be very understanding and open to discussion.
Commissioners suggested the use of guardrails or bollards in the alley to protect residential
property as well as allowing the neighbors to have a higher alley fence to block light and noise.
They also made inquiries of staff about snow removal. Staff answered that there is space on
the site for snow storage. Ms. Khowaja added that she donated a portion of the alley back to
the Village and therefore, it is the Village’s responsibility to snow plow the alley but seeing that
it is an access point for her business she has arranged to have the alley plowed to Lockwood
Avenue after a 2” snowfall.
In closing, Ms. Khowaja added that she is aware of the loitering at their current location which
affected her decision against an outdoor patio.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT Drive-Through Policy
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, June 4, 2023
To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Drive-Through Policy Recommendations
PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its April 20, 2023, the Plan Commission discussed six potential zoning changes and
additional Village policy and development guidelines regarding the permitting and mitigation
of drive-through uses. This memorandum summarizes some potential opportunities to
mitigate the impact of drive-through restaurants.
Recommendation 1: Modify allowed location of drive-throughs in Skokie.
• Adopt zoning changes that remove drive-through uses, both restaurant and retail,
as an allowed use in mixed-use districts (NX, TX, and CX). Currently Sec. 118-185
of the Village’s Zoning Code allows this use but must not be visible from the street.
Removing it as an allowed use could be an opportunity to further reduce this use.
• Adopt zoning changes that adopts the retail street rules for restaurant drive-
throughs in all zoning districts, i.e. only drive-through facility driveways that are
shared with other parking facilities are permitted, and no part of the drive-through
stacking lanes, order boards, or other apparatus shall be visible from the street.
Sites should be chosen with enough area to allow for these features to be placed
behind the main building and screened from view with fencing and vegetation.
These changes seek to manage the number of vehicles and the presence of excessive
parking on site. The more vehicles on site, the more likely vehicles will be idling and
potentially contributing to emissions.
Recommendation 2: Reduce parking requirement at drive-through establishments.
Section 188-218 requires 1 parking space for each 100 square feet of net floor area. For
example, a 2,000 square foot restaurant is required to provide 20 parking spaces.
Decreasing the requirement, if supported by the traffic analysis, to 1 parking spot per 150
square feet would mean smaller parking lots and more flexibility in the site plan. Ideally this
space is reclaimed for green space, outdoor dining, or even convenience parking for patrons
going into and out of the restaurant for items ordered ahead of time.
VOSDOCS-#611414-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_Drive_Through_Policy 1
Return to 2023-02P
Recommendation 3: Include the following standard conditions in all approvals associated
with drive-through establishments:
• Require a plan on record with village that addresses how operations are managed
to reduce queuing of the line in order to better understand how the restaurant will
operationally handle a long line of cars and how it will mitigate this issue.
• Prohibit deliveries during peak usage times.
• Require that mobile ordering be part of the business model of approved special
uses. If customers can order ahead of time through mobile apps on phones or
computers, this will reduce ordering times between the order window and the pay
window at businesses. It might also discourage customers from moving through a
drive-through lane and getting out of the vehicle and going into the establishment.
Recommendation 4: Manage emissions impact by requiring additional trees on site or a
fee-in-lieu based on a formula associated with the number of cars that will be generated by
the drive through as reported by the traffic impact study. One new tree for every 100 car
trips, shall be required to be planted or a fee assessed to cover planting at another location.
Recommendation 5: Require drive-through restaurants to offer composting and recycling
in addition to waste that will go to a landfill, for both kitchen waste as well as dining area
waste.
Recommendation 6: Develop drive-through language for Skokie zoning code in
accordance to best practices to add clarity. Sample language provided for discussion
purposes.
“Drive-through facility. A facility which accommodates automobiles and from which
the occupants of the automobiles may make purchases or transact business, including
the stacking spaces in which automobiles wait. Examples include but are not limited to
drive-up windows, menu boards, order boards or boxes, drive-in restaurants. and
drive-up banks and automated teller machines. Drive-through facilities shall not
include the direct refueling of motor vehicles, car washes, parking spaces used for
customer pick-up or loading of goods or products purchased on-site or prior to the
customer's arrival, or parking and loading spaces used for the donation of secondhand
goods.”
-Minneapolis MN zoning code
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Discussion primarily focused on Recommendation 1, whether a zoning overlay is better
solution and what the phrase ‘visible from the street’ means in this context. Which part of
the drive-through is visible, if it’s any part of the building it may be too unfriendly to
business. Commissioner suggested that the issue may more be regarding limiting curb cuts
VOSDOCS-#611414-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_Drive_Through_Policy 2
Return to 2023-02P
and less about visible from the street. Where possible, developments should consider one
access drive to serve multiple businesses, with or without drive throughs.
Commissioners discussed the wording of ‘requiring’ order ahead, versus suggesting it as an
option, or wording to include apps or phone calls.
Discussion of costs and operationally the controls of composting. Sorting waste in multiple
cans with potentially multiple haulers. Drive-throughs specifically have customers who take
their food away to consume so composting is less important option for customers versus
back of the house operations.
Recommendations 1, 2, and 6 will need to return to the Plan commission for further
consideration and to approve any potential text changes to the Village Code.
Commissioners concurred with Recommendations 3, 4, and 5.

Making Drive-Thrus
a Boon, Not a Bane
By Dwight Merriam, faicp
In considering drive-through service as a planning and zoning issue, we might look back
to the first zoning case to make its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, Euclid v. Ambler
(1926), where the court in upholding zoning famously said: “A nuisance may be merely
a right thing in the wrong place—like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.” Most
zoning is ultimately contextual. So too it is with drive-throughs, which are exceedingly
beneficial for everyone in some locations, and utterly destructive to some objectives of
planning and zoning when they are allowed in the wrong places. The challenge, some-
times a conundrum, is to decide when they are appropriate and, if so, how to best
regulate them, leveraging the benefits and avoiding the burdens.
This issue of Zoning Practice explores drive-through services. Then, recogniz-
how good planning and zoning can ing how the pandemic has affected a

a quick look back to the days of car- good planning and regulation, for the
hops and their effects on subsequent benefit of all.

It is hard to overstate what the pandemic
did to promote drive-through service. In
March 2020, two months after the first
case of COVID-19 in the U.S., Wendy’s
reported that 90 percent of its sales
were drive-through (Coley 2020). Restau-
rants across the country “pivot[ed] to an
old-fashioned carhop model,” as one
report on what a 93-year-old owner of a
restaurant had to do to keep open during
the pandemic in Cloquet, Minnesota
(Hollingsworth 2021). The decision to go to
other service models was often not volun-
tary. One restaurant, eight months into the
pandemic, was ordered to shut down and
defied the order, had its liquor license sus-
pended, and incurred fines, only to switch
to delivery service and a carhop model to

Which Is Greener:
Idle, or Stop and Restart?
Comparing Fuel Use and Emissions for Short Passenger-Car Stops
L. Gaines, E. Rask, and G. Keller, Argonne National Laboratory
Overview Testing
The argument against parking and going into a business, rather
than using a drive-through window, has been that the emissions
and fuel use associated with restarting your car are greater than
those incurred by idling for that time. Argonne National Laboratory
undertook a series of measurements to determine whether this was
true, by comparing actual idling fuel use and emissions with those
for restarting. This work seeks to answer the question: Considering
both fuel use and emissions, how long can you idle in a queue
before impacts from idling are greater than they are for restarting?
Fuel use and carbon dioxide emissions are always greater for idling
over 10 seconds; the crossover times are found to vary by pollutant.

Argonne National Laboratory used a 2011 Ford Fusion mid-sized sedan

numerous engine parameters and temperatures, including catalyst inlet
and brick temperatures and oil and coolant temperatures. We collected
data in one of Argonne’s test cells at the Advanced Powertrain Research
Facility (APRF), using a SemtechD emissions analyzer for emissions and a
direct fuel flow meter for fuel measurement. The vehicle was prepared and

Plan Commission Council Chambers, 7:30 PM June 5, 2023
To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2023-06P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its April 20, 2023 meeting, the Plan Commission reviewed the Village’s request to
amend Section 118-72 Solar Energy Systems. One focus of the Village’s Environmental
Sustainability Plan was to review solar energy systems and the possibility of a Gold
Level Designation from SolSmart. a national designation program that recognizes
communities that reduce barriers to solar energy.
During the review of Section 118-72 it was found that barriers exist to installing solar
on flat-roofed buildings, specifically regarding height requirements. After conferring
with SolSmart, Village Staff came up with language that would allow for solar panels, 10
feet above a flat roof. Staff did research and most panels installed on flat-roofs are
typically 5-6 feet above the top of the roof. Staff felt the 10-foot proposal would
accommodate solar installations well into the future, even if there were equipment
changes.
One Commissioner had concerns about building roofs not being designed to carry the
extra weight of the solar panels. Staff confirmed plans are thoroughly reviewed and
must meet all building and structural requirements prior to permits being issued. One
commissioner questioned whether the Appearance Commission reviewed the proposed
text changes. Staff confirmed they did not and that any elevation changes would be
reviewed on a case by case basis by the Appearance Commission. Another
commissioner wanted clarification if this was the last piece to obtaining gold level
designation by SolSmart and staff confirmed it was. The draft of the full meeting
minutes is attached.
INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties
spoke regarding this case.

Case: 2023-06P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
Solar panel changes
General Information
Petitioner Village of Skokie
Purpose The Village of Skokie is requesting an amendment to Section
118-72 of the Skokie Village Code to modify height provisions for
solar energy systems.
STAFF ANALYSIS
As part of the Environmental Sustainability Plan, staff is reviewing various sections of
the Zoning Ordinance to find ways to encourage sustainability. Part of the review
focused on solar energy systems and ways the Village of Skokie could achieve a
SolSmart Gold Level designation. SolSmart is a national designation program that
recognizes communities that reduce local barriers to solar energy. The Gold Level
designation is the highest level a local government can achieve.
During the review of Sec 118-72. - Solar energy systems it was noted that the zoning
ordinance currently has barriers to solar on flat-roofed buildings. Staff conferred with a
SolSmart representative and came up language that will remove these barriers.
It is recommended to add language that will allow for solar energy systems up to 10
feet above the existing roof or district height, whichever is less. This will accommodate
installation on buildings that are at, under or potentially over the current district height
maximum. A typical commercial solar panel is approximately 78 inches long, is installed
at an approximate 45-degree angle and has about two feet of mounting equipment.
This would result in the top of the panel typically being between 5 and 6 feet above a
flat roof. Even if sizes or equipment changes in the future, staff feels the proposed 10-
foot height would accommodate solar panels being installed now or in the near future.
The attached roof slope diagram shows examples of different sloped roofs. The
proposed 10-foot height would only apply to flat roofs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the following sections of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie
Village Code be amended, with text to be added highlighted and text to be removed
highlighted and stricken through in the attached draft ordinance.

Case Description:
2023-06P: Zoning Chapter Amendment: Solar Panel Changes
The Village of Skokie is requesting an amendment to Section 118-72 of the Skokie Village Code
to modify height provisions for solar energy systems.
Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Personal notice was not
required for this case. Corporation Counsel announced that notice was proper and correct.
Staff requested the report be entered into the record as presented. SolSmart is a national
program that helps communities follow best practices to expand solar energy use. Skokie is
presently at the bronze level striving for gold designation; the highest level for local
government.
According to a SolSmart representative, Skokie’s zoning ordinance currently has barriers to solar
on flat-roofed buildings. Typically, a solar panel is installed 5 and 6 feet above a flat roof. It was
recommended that new language be added to remove these hindrances which will allow solar
panels up to 10 feet above the existing roof.
A commissioner spoke of his concern that building roofs are not designed to carry the extra
load of the solar panels especially when the weight of snow is added on. He strongly suggested,
to make sure that a building is safe, that load calculations are prepared and reviewed by a
structural engineer before any installation.
Staff offered that plans are thoroughly examined prior to permits being issued.
Other commissioners questioned how these changes in elevation would affect the decisions
made by the Appearance Commission.
Another commission wanted confirmation that this change is the only thing holding Skokie from
attaining gold designation.
