SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6,2023
A. Proposed Implementation for Three Referendums: Non-Partisan Elections,
Staggered Terms and Hybrid Representation including Election Districts.
At the November 2022 Illinois General Election, Skokie residents approved three
citizen-initiated referendums to change the Village elections to non-partisan,
staggered terms for trustees and established hybrid districts in four geographic
areas. To assist with the implementation, the Village sent out requests for legal
services specializing in election and districting services and through that process
the firm Klein, Thorpe & Jenkins was approved by the Board. In addition,
mapping expert Peter A. Creticos, Ph.D. was retained to help draw the
boundaries of the four districts. Three public meetings were held at the Skokie
Public Library on August 14, September 11, and October 10 to educate residents
on the process, solicit feedback and present the draft implementation proposals.
This implementation proposal is as follows: Beginning with the 2025
Consolidated Election schedule, the Village of Skokie Code will be amended to
adopt a system of non-partisan elections, where candidates will circulate and file
nonpartisan papers for the Consolidated Primary and General elections as set
forth in the Illinois Municipal Code. Staggered four-year terms and Biennial
elections will be adopted for Village trustees and a hybrid representation will be
implemented where two of the six trustees are elected at-large and the four
remaining trustees will be elected from the four geographic districts.
A presentation will be provided. There is no action required at this time, as this
item is informational only. These recommendations will be before the Village
Board at its December 4, 2023 meeting for review and final approval.
B. 2023 Tax Levy Ordinance and Tax Levy Abatement
The attached 2023 Property Tax Levy and Tax Levy Abatement Ordinances are
for a first reading by the Village Board and will be on the Monday, November 20,
2023 agenda for second reading and adoption.
The Village of Skokie's 2023 tax levy request is $15,456,695 and represents the
33rd consecutive year that the Village Board has adopted a levy that is equal to
the Village's 1990 tax levy. In addition to the frozen levy, the ordinance includes
615226
Return to Agenda
$3,262 levied for SSA #10 improvements and the $12,273,936 levied by the
Skokie Public Library to fund operations and capital during fiscal year 2024. The
Village has five outstanding debt issues, specifically the 2013A Series, 2016A
Series, 2018A Series, 2019A Series and 2022 A and B Series. A total of
$17,545,833.16 is authorized by the bond ordinance for the 2023 tax year. In
order to maintain the Village's property tax freeze, it is necessary to abate
$7,144,015.16.
The Village's Finance Director, Julian Prendi, will make a presentation regarding
this proposed levy.
C. Commercial Corridor Storefront Enhancement Program: 4043 Main Street
Halal Market LLC, Skokie, DBA Halal Grill and Market is an independently owned
grocery store and carry out Indian/Pakistani cuisine at 5158 Main Street.
Mohammed Haseeb, owner of Halal Market was informed their lease would not
be renewed, which prompted him to purchase the property at 4043 Main Street
enabling him to grow from 1,600 sq. feet to over 3,000 sq. feet. Also, the number
of employees will be increasing from four to seven. Mr. Haseeb intends to offer
more food options to Main Street including hot buffet style stations, rotisserie
chicken cooked on site and many take home grocery items. The new location
has been vacant for over three years. The interior and exterior work includes a
new kitchen, new floors, new lighting, new signage, upgrades to plumbing and
repairs to the walls/ceilings.
The Village's Storefront Enhancement Program is designed to encourage and
assist commercial property owners in renovating and upgrading the buildings
with a 60/40 split between property owner and Village for eligible expenses. The
Village's portion is a reimbursement with a maximum of $50,000.
When completed, Mr. Haseeb's total investment is projected to exceed $500,000.
A certificate of appropriateness was given by the Appearance Commission.
Based on the project's estimates, the interior maximum payout is $30,000 and
the exterior maximum payout is $19,090 for construction work and signage.
It is staff's recommendation to approve a Storefront Enhancement Program grant
to Halal Market, located at 4043 Main Street in the amount not to exceed
$49,090. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor
and Board approval.
D. Provide Village Manager Authoritv^to Approve^^^^^^^^
in the CIP.
The automotive and truck industry continue to experience shortages and long
lead times, presenting a challenge for the Village to purchase replacement
vehicles. Fleet vehicles are increasingly difficult to find and once available are
often sold within hours or days due to intense competition in the low-supply
market. The supply shortage will not be resolved in the short-run, especially for
high demand vehicles like hybrids and EV's. The bi-monthly Board approval
process has not been conducive to securing needed vehicles with these unusual
circumstances.
615226
Return to Agenda
Skokie's' fleet management staff is requesting a procedural change for
purchasing vehicles and equipment. Allowing the Village Manager authority to
approve purchasing sedans, squad cars, small trucks, vans and box trucks pre-
approved in the fleet Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), up to the budgeted amount
through FY2025.
I respectfully request Mayor and Board Approval to authorize the preparation of a
resolution by the Corporation Counsel to give the Village Manager the authority
to approve municipal vehicles and equipment purchases preapproved by the
Village Board in the annual CIP Budget.
E. BS&A ERP Software Maintenance Contract Renewal - BS&A Systems,
Bath, Michigan - $72,041.
In FY2017, the Village of Skokie contracted with BS&A Systems for the licensing
and use of their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system. The
Village utilizes this software across the organization. An integral component to
the successful operation of the BS&A software is the support and maintenance
agreement, which provides for support: and help desk services, as well as free
upgrades and fixes of any of the modules owned by the Village. I concur with
staff's recommendation to enter into a contract with BS&A Systems in the
amount of $72,041 to continue the support and maintenance of the ERP
software. Mayor and Board approval is respectfully requested.
F. Purchase of One (1 ) Asphalt Roller - Altorfer CAT, Addison, IL - $34,230.
The 2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes funding for the
procurement of one asphalt roller. The new vehicle will replace the existing 1989
model which has had an increase in hydraulic and mechanical failures due to the
units age and overall wear on major components. The new unit is equipped with
a Tier 4 diesel engine which has the strictest EPA requirements standards for off-
highway diesel engines. It is recommended that the bid be awarded to Altorfer
CAT in the amount of $34,230. I concur with staff's recommendation and
respectfully request that a contract be awarded to Altorfer CAT.

Referendum Implementation for Non-Partisan Elections, Staggered
Terms and Hybrid Representation including Election Districts
As part of the November 2022 Illinois General Election, Skokie residents approved three
citizen-initiated referendums that changed Skokie Village Board elections to non-partisan,
staggered terms for trustees, and established hybrid representation through the creation of
four geographic districts represented by one trustee each and two at-large trustee
representatives. Currently, all Skokie trustees are elected at-large.
The Village is responsible for implementation and the Mayor and Board directed the Village
Manager to professionally implement the referenda. In addition, the Village's FY24 Budget
included $50,000 for professional services related to the implementation. To implement
these referenda, a team was formed, led by Village Manager John Lockerby and consisting
of Assistant Village Manager Nicholas Wyatt, Management Analyst Alex Franz, Assistant
Finance Director Michael Aleksic, Communications and Community Engagement Director
Patrick Deignan and Communications Manager Meredith Gioia. The team issued a request
for qualifications to obtain legal services specializing in election and districting to assist
throughout the implementation process. Through this, the Village Board approved the firm
Klein, Thorpe & Jenkins at its June 5, 2023 meeting. Shortly thereafter, the implementation
team secured the services of election mapping expert Peter A. Creticos, Ph.D. to help draw
the boundaries of the four districts.
Three public meetings were held at the Skokie Public Library on August 14, September 1 1
and October 10 to educate residents on the process, solicit feedback and present the draft
proposals. Outlined below is a summary of the proposed implementation of the
referendums through the expertise of legal counsel, Klein, Thorpe and Jenkins and mapping
expert Peter Creticos, and based on feedback received at the three public meetings,
through an online sun/ey, and via email.
Non-partisan Elections
As outlined in Attachment 1, the Village of Skokie Code will be amended to adopt a system
of nonpartisan elections in which candidates for Village of Skokie elected office circulate and
file nonpartisan nominating papers for the Consolidated Primary Election and Consolidated
General Election beginning with the 2025 Consolidated Election schedule, as set forth
Sections 3.1-25-20 through 3.1-25-55 of the Illinois Municipal Code. 65 ILCS 5/3.1-25-20
through 65 ILCS 5/3.1-25 55.
A nonpartisan election system prohibits candidates from listing any political party affiliation
on their nominating papers and no political party affiliation will be listed on the ballot. A
nonpartisan election system does not prohibit candidates from coordinating their campaigns,
fundraising and platforms with other candidates and political parties.

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

Hybrid Representation
To create hybrid elections where two of the six Village trustees are elected at-large and the
remaining four trustees are elected from four geographic districts, Peter Creticos and the
implementation team followed eight election districting guiding principles. For the second
public meeting on September 11, three draft maps entitled "Orchard," Prairie" and "Marsh"
were presented. Based on feedback received at and after the September 11 public meeting,
a final proposed district map, entitled "Forest," was created and presented at the October 10
public meeting. This map as well as a memorandum explaining the districting guiding
principles can be found in Attachment 2.
Additionally, Attachment 3 is a memorandum from Communications and Community
Engagement Director Patrick Deignan outlining communication and public engagement
efforts related to the implementation of the three referendums.
These recommendations will be before the Village Board at its December 4, 2023 meeting
for review and final approval.

RE: Ordinance Implementing
November 8, 2022 Referenda
____________________________________ October 2, 2023
Based on the election results of the November 8, 2022 General Election in the Village of Skokie (the
“Village”), the following three referenda propositions were approved by the voters:
Referendum Question 1: "Shall candidates for Mayor, Clerk, and Village Trustee of
the Village of Skokie be elected at nonpartisan primary and general elections,
beginning with the Consolidated Primary and the Consolidated General elections to
be held on February 25, 2025 and April 1, 2025, respectively?"
Referendum Question 2: “Shall the Village of Skokie adopt a system of staggered
four-year terms and biennial elections for Village Trustees, beginning with the
Consolidated Primary and the Consolidated General elections to be held on February
25, 2025 and April 1, 2025, respectively?”
Referendum Question 3: "Shall the Village of Skokie adopt a system of hybrid
elections for Village Trustees, in which 2 of 6 Village Trustees are elected at-large and
4 of 6 Village Trustees are elected from districts, beginning with the Consolidated
Primary and the Consolidated General elections to be held on February 25, 2025 and
April 1, 2025, respectively?"
The enclosed Ordinance implements the referendum questions. Section 3 of the Ordinance, as it
relates to Section 2-61 of the Village Code, establishes the system of nonpartisan elections approved
by the irst referendum question.
Section 3 of the Ordinance, as it relates to Section 2-62 of the Village Code, implements the second
and third referendum questions. With respect to the third referendum question, the Ordinance
establishes the trustee districts with a detailed description of the district boundaries that was created
after an exhaustive public meeting and input process and comprehensive legal review. The Village
will be required to revisit the district boundaries after the 2030 census to make any adjustments
necessary to account for population changes.

For the second referendum question, the Ordinance implements the system of staggered four-year
terms and biennial elections for Village Trustees as follows:
ELECTION SCHEDULE
February/April of 2025 February/April of 2027 February/April of 2029
Consolidated Election Consolidated Election Consolidated Election
2-year terms 4-year terms 4-year terms
Trustee – District 1 Trustee – District 1 Mayor

4-year terms Not up for election – next Not up for election – next

Consolidated Election Consolidated Election
Mayor Mayor Trustee – District 1
Clerk Clerk Trustee – District 2
Trustee At-Large Trustee At-Large Trustee – District 3
Trustee At-Large Trustee At-Large Trustee – District 4
We considered the following factors when creating the election schedule to implement a system of
staggered terms and biennial elections for Village Trustees:
The offices and terms of Mayor and Clerk remain unchanged. They will both stand for election
to full, four-year terms at the April of 2025 consolidated election as at-large candidates.
Initially, some trustees will necessarily serve a two-year term to kickstart this staggered
system.
In staggering the terms, we also needed to account for the hybrid system mandated by the
third referendum question where two trustees are elected at large, and four trustees are
elected by district.
All Trustees, whether elected by district or at-large, will serve full four-year terms after the
initial two-year terms are served.
The most comparable statutory provisions under the Illinois Municipal Code provide that in
“staggering” the terms of elected trustees or aldermen in a hybrid system of representation,
the trustees or aldermen elected by ward or district stand for election at the same time and
that the “at-large” officials stand for election together at the other biennial election.
The Illinois Municipal Code generally provides for the staggering of terms so that half of the
corporate authorities are elected at one biennial election, and the other half at the next, to the
extent possible.
If “half” the Village Board is to be elected every two years, and if the two at-large trustees will
be elected at the same biennial election, then the at-large trustees would run for election to
571038_1
Attachment 1
Top of A
full four-year terms with the mayor and clerk at the initial 2025 election implementing the
new electoral system approved by referendum.
Correspondingly, if all Trustees will eventually serve full four-year terms, to implement a
system of staggered biennial elections of “half” the Board (with the at-large candidates
running at the same election), the four Trustees running by district would run for two-year
terms at the initial 2025 election and for four-year terms at the subsequent 2027 election.
Based on these considerations, we believe the proposed election calendar is fair, balanced, consistent
with statutory election systems under Illinois law and accomplishes the fundamental objective of the
referendum question of electing Village Trustees to four-year staggered terms with biennial elections.

Village of Skokie, Illinois
RE: Design of the Proposed Village of Skokie District Map
The proposed Village of Skokie District Map was drawn in accordance with the following eight principles:
1. One person, one vote
2. Compact and contiguous
3. Center the map on an area of shared identity
4. Follow major thoroughfares, boundaries, and other physical or
jurisdictional factors
5. Communities of interest
6. Residents on opposite edges of a district should share a sense of community
7. Observe residential neighborhood contiguities where possible
8. Avoid isolating communities set apart by Edens Expressway or industrial areas.
Federal and state constitutions, statutes, and court decisions enshrine principles 1 and 2. As a result, the
districts are closely equal in population with each other, and the districts are compact and contiguous.
The remaining principles are consistent with best practices based on more than forty years of
experience in districting and redistricting.
Public services are generally distributed by quadrants that come together in the Village’s center. Our
approach respects this. In addition, we adhere to major thoroughfares, boundaries, and, where feasible,
to school district boundaries. In addition, school districts served as proxies for communities of interest,
unless otherwise informed by public testimony. We determined that long districts spanning the village
along either an east-west axis or a north-south axis would make no sense to residents on opposite ends
of such districts. We were careful to observe residential contiguities. For example, we made sure to
connect the neighborhood north of Memorial Park with the residential area west of Skokie Boulevard.
Finally, we were careful to not isolate the southwest corner by drawing the 4th district first.
We considered the merits of all public testimony. Several citizens asked that three maps be presented
for consideration. We responded by presenting maps labeled as Prairie, Marsh, and Orchard. We heard
testimony that the extended Devonshire Park community remain intact. District 2 accomplishes that.
We responded to concerns about the boundary between Districts 1 and 4 by proposing a split that
better conforms to the principles guiding the process. Finally, we considered, but were unable to
accomplish a change that would group all multifamily housing along the border with Districts 1 and 2
into District 1. Such a change would have resulted in large adjustments to all districts that would deviate
from the totality of our principles.

From:
-JE^iarrFrepdi, Director of Finance
Date: October 27, 2023
Subject: AGENDA ITEMS: 2023 TAX LEVY ORDINANCE
2023 TAX LEVY ABATEMENT
Attached with this memorandum are two ordinances pertaining to the levying and
abatement of property taxes for the 2023 tax year. Your review and subsequent inclusion
in the November 6th board agenda packet is respectfully requested. The ordinances are
being presented for first reading at the November 6th meeting, with second reading and
adoption on Monday, November 20.
2023 Tax Levy Ordinance
The Tax Levy ordinance serves as formal notification to the Cook County Tax Extension
Office of the aggregate amount of property taxes to be levied from Skokie properties. The
Village continues to maintain a frozen property tax levy in the amount of $15,456,695. The
total amount levied for tax year 2023, including the amounts necessary for the repayment
of debt and excluding any Special Service Areas-SSA, is equal to the amount levied in
1990, extending the tax freeze (implemented first in 1991) to its 33rd consecutive year. In
addition to the frozen levy, the ordinance includes $3,262 levied for SSA #10
improvements, and $12,273,936 levied by the Skokie Pubiic Library to fund operations
and capital during fiscal year 2024.
2023 Tax Abatement Ordinance
The Village has five outstanding debt issues, specifically the 2013A Series, 2016A Series,
2018A Series,2019A Series, and 2022 A and B Series. For each debt issue the Village
has filed ordinances with Cook County, directing the County to collect an amount sufficient
to cover the annual interest and principal for each series. A total of $17,545,833.16 is
authorized by the bond ordinances for the 2023 tax year (including Library debt). In order
to maintain the Village's property tax freeze, it is necessary to abate $7,144,015,16. The
attached abatement ordinance serves as the formal action by the Board to direct the
county to not collect this amount, to be covered by other revenues, i,e. property tax
increment (for2013A, 2016A, 2018A, and 2022B), telecommunications taxes and a
portion of the frozen levy (for 2019A), and municipal utility tax and a portion of the frozen
levy (for 2022A),
Village Board's review and subsequent adoption at the November 20th meeting is
respectfully requested. There will also be a presentation on the tax levy at the November
6 meeting.

From: Johanna Nyden, Community Development Director
Carol White, Economic Vitality Coordinator
Date: October 25, 2023
Subject: Agenda Item: Village Board Meeting, November 6, 2023 Storefront
Enhancement Assistance Program Approval for Halal Grill and Market 4043
Main Street
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of a Storefront Enhancement Program Assistance
for a maximum of $49,090 to Halal Grill and Market at 4043 Main Street.
Halal Market LLC, Skokie, DBA Halal Grill is an independently owned company presently
operating a grocery store and a carry out Indian/Pakistani cuisine located at 5158 Main Street.
They started their business in a leased property in October 2020. The owner of this property sold
this location to a third party in March 2023 and then Halal Grill was informed their lease would
not be renewed. In April 2023, Mohammed Haseeb, owner ofHalal Market and Grill purchased
a property at 4043 Main Street and intends to move his business to this location. The property
was vacant and had been for sale for more than three years (pictures attached).
The project requires demolition of most of the inside structure as well as: new flooring, plumbing
work, new kitchen, new lighting, repair of the walls/ceiling, and exterior enhancement including
new signage.
The grill will bring more food options to Main Street that include: rotisserie chicken, Mutton
Bhuiyan, beef/chicken seekh kebab, chayole kabob, boneless chicken, boneless chicken tikka
masala, pizza, as well as other items. The Grill and Market will consist of large refrigerators, hot
food buffet style stations, rotisserie chicken cooked on site, and many take home grocery items.
There will be two (2) tables with chairs for a quick bite or to wait for your take out.
Halal Grill and Market will be almost doubling in square footage growing from 1,600 square feet
to over 3,000 square feet and their employees will be increasing from 4 to 7.
The owner has submitted a Storefront Enhancement Application for both interior and exterior
work. Included are two (2) bids for interior work and two (2) bids for exterior work to the
building, as well as, signage.
When completed, Mohammed PIaseeb's total investment in 4043 Main Street will be $500,000.
The building was purchased for $286,000 and two (2) estimates were submitted for interior work
for an average estimated amount of $150,000 and exterior work estimated at $37,621, as well as,
signage for $8,206.25. New Equipment and furnishings are estimated to be $50,000. Included in
the original estimates are design, materials, and construction. A certificate ofappropriatess was
given by Appearance Commission (October 11, 2023) and he is currently finalizing obtaining
permits.
The Storefront Enhancement Program is a 60% owner/40% Village reimbursement. The
maximum payout for both interior and exterior work is $50,000. The project's interior costs
contemplate a maximum payout of $30,000; the exterior maximum payout is $ 19,090 (this is a
total of construction work and signage). In the event work is less than max, the Village will pay
out only 40% of total amount of work completed.
Staff recommendation is to approve the Storefront Enhancement Program for a maximum of
$49,090 in reimbursement.

Max Slanlcard, Director of Public" Works
DATE: October 23, 2023
SUBJECT: Requesting Board Approval to Provide Village Manager the
Authority to Approve Vehicle Purchases Approved in the CIP
(Agenda Item)
Shortages and long lead times in the automotive and truck industry continue to present
challenging conditions for purchasing. Vehicles have been difficult to source and are
often sold within days or even hours. The bi-monthly Board approval process has not
been conducive to secure urgently needed fleet vehicles in a low-supply market that is
struggling with supply chain issues and staff shortages. The underlying causes for the
supply shortages include intense competition for raw materials such as steel, copper, and
other electrical components and microchips. There is no clear indication that these issues
will be resolved in the short-term, especially for high-demand vehicles such as electric
vehicles (EV s) and hybrids.
Skolde's municipal fleet program has not been immune. An example is the purchase of a
small aerial truck for the Traffic Engineering Division, approved in the FY2023 budget.
Staff initially reached out to have the truck built and were given a lead time of late 2024
or 2025. The aerial truck is used extensively for street light and sign repairs and has a
useful life often years. Keeping vehicles past -their useful life is not cost effective and
increases budget needs for staffing and parts, so staff pursued other options. Fortunately,
a lift truck that met our specifications became available through a joint purchasing
cooperative. However, the aerial truck was advertised to their entire customer base
across the country and was available on a first come/flrst served basis. Staff immediately
expressed interest in the vehicle, but the seller would not guarantee holding the vehicle
even with a letter of intent. The purchase went to the Board and was successfully
completed, but there was certainly an element of luck that it worked out. Similarly, staff
received Board approval on November 21, 2022 and May 1, 2022 for the purchase often
Ford Hybrid Utility Police Interceptors and two Ford Explorer hybrids from Bloomington
Ford Inc. through the Indiana Government Purchasing Contract. However, one year later
there is no update on the order and United Auto Workers (UAW) union strike further
complicates available supply and manufacturing capacity. Staff is currently working on
solutions to source these vehicles.
After much consideration, fleet management staff is requesting a temporary procedural
change for vehicle and equipment purchases. Currently Board pre'approval is sought
Document Number: 614523
prior to issuing a purchase order for a vehicle. This has been our practice for many years,
although it is somewhat redundant and as of recently, an impediment to securing
vehicles. All vehicles presented for purchase approval have already received Village
Board approval during the annual budget process. In order to make the timely
procurement of vehicles possible, staff is proposing seeking only Village Manager
approval for the purchase of vehicles individually identified in the fleet CIP, up to
budgeted amount, which have already been approved during the budget process. This
revised approval process would include sedans, pickup trucks, squad cars, small dumps,
utility vans and service trucks. Larger purchase and custom-built vehicles such as
garbage trucks, fire apparatus, ambulances and construction equipment would continue to
go through the normal Board approval process. Each purchase will be identified in the bi-
monthly voucher report presented to the Board.
Procurement will continue as in the past using Sourcewell, other cooperative purchasing
contracts, or by obtaining multiple quotes, to the maximum extent feasible. Staff will
continue to prioritize electric vehicles (EV?s), hybrids, and right-sizing vehicles as
feasible to reduce emissions as per the Village of Skokie's Environmental
Sustain ability Plan. However, this proposed change to the purchasing process will
provide the staff the latitude, with the approval of the Village Manager, to source vehicles
from dealer networks if necessary, or other sources, to allow purchases to be
consummated if consistent with the replacement plan and budget, and consistent with the
needs of the Village's operations.
Pre-approval for fleet purchases is trending elsewhere out of necessity. Recently, the
Board for the Village of Lake Zurich passed an ordinance on September 5, 2023 allowing
for preapproval of light to medium duty budgeted vehicles for this fiscal year. An article
in The Municipal magazine highlighted a similar story out of the City of Spokane,
Washington. Additionally, Skokie's administrative fleet staff attended a fleet
management workshop put on by the American Public Works Association (APWA) in
which leaders in municipal fleet management encouraged attendees to assess purchasing
strategies and to communicate challenges with their decision makers. We need to work
toward the common goal of keeping our fleet up and running as it is critical to Village
operations and services, as well as the public safety of our community.
Should this recommendation meet with your approval, I would request that you place this
before the Mayor and Board of Trustees for their consideration and approval at the
November 6, 2023. At that time, should the Mayor and Board concur, I would ask that
they direct the Corporation Counsel to prepare a resolution to effectuate this
recommendation, which would be placed before the Board for approval at a future Board
meeting. Given the difficulty of predicting how long the current market conditions will
continue, any such resolution should include sunset clause at the end of fiscal year 2025,
prior to which staff would be required to provide additional reasoning if a continuation
were to be necessary.
Please let me know what, if any, additional information you require.

SUBJECT: BS&A ERP Software Maintenance Contract
Agenda Item - November 6, 2023 Board Meeting
Background
In Fiscal Year 2017, the Village contracted with BS&A Systems for the licensing and use of their
ERP System. This system includes modules for General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Purchasing,
Miscellaneous Receivables, Cash Receipts, Fixed Assets, Building and Planning, Human
Resources, Time Sheets, Payroll, Utility Billing, Business Licensing, Animal Licensing, Citizen
Request, and Work Orders.
The software maintenance contract for these various modules ofBS&A's software is up for
renewal. In that regard, it is necessary to renew the contract to provide for uninterrupted support
of the BS&A software applications used by the Village.
Budget & Account: $92,61 0.00 020-6000-403.03-20-OS31003
Recommendation:
It is recommended that a contract be awarded to BS&A, Bath Michigan, for support and
maintenance of BS&A ERP software, in the amount of $72,041.00.
Comments:
BS&A provides the Village with computer software used across the organization. An integral
component to the successful operation of the BS&A software is the support and maintenance
agreement, which provides for support and help desk services, as well as free upgrades and
"fixes" of any of the modules owned by the Village. Since all the software is provided and
maintained by BS&A, this contract is a sole source procurement.

From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairman
Case: 2023-23P: Special Use Permit
5219 Touhy Avenue
PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its October 5, 2023, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Rubin
Skokie, LLC, on behalf of VCA Animal Hospitals for a special use permit for veterinary
services at 5219 Touhy Avenue in a B2 Commercial district. The VCA Animal Hospitals
facility will contain 6 exam rooms, offices, a waiting area, a 4-station treatment area, a
pharmacy, a lab, and an x-ray room. The petitioner intends to operate the facility in a
similar way as an immediate care service that is offered by a health care provider for
humans and no overnight boarding services will be provided. The business will provide
outpatient care only and will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.,
treating an average of 30-40 pets per day. One to 2 veterinarians will work at the
business, in addition to 4-6 support staff.
The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the special use
permit subject to conditions.
In response to a question from a commissioner who asked if surgeries would be
performed at the facility, the petitioner responded that any type of procedure requiring
surgery would be referred to an off-site provider.
A more detailed discussion of this case is in the attached Staff Report and minutes.
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 the case.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission review is not required.

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner’s Submittal
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for veterinary services at 5219 Touhy
Avenue in a B2 Commercial district. The VCA Animal Hospitals facility will contain 6
exam rooms, offices, a waiting area, a 4-station treatment area, a pharmacy, a lab, and
an x-ray room.
With regards to the request, the petitioner explains that:
This hospital will bridge the gap between primary and emergency care with access to world-class
same- and next-day care. Like human urgent care, we will provide pet owners with access to
non-emergent care services including allergic reactions, vomiting, ear infections, eye issues, skin
issues, lacerations, lethargy, limping, etc. We will be open seven days a week from 10am-8pm.
We will not provide boarding or overnight hospitalization services. All pets will be outpatient,
which means they will be seen and discharged the same day. Our veterinary hospital will be
regulated by the Illinois Veterinarian Licensing and Disciplinary Board which maintains and
enforces professional standards including licensing veterinarians, registered veterinary
technicians, veterinary assistants, controlled substances permit holders and veterinary premises.
We plan to hire 1-2 veterinarians. This team will work different shifts throughout the week with
the expectation to have 2 doctors seeing pets on any given day with 4-6 support staff.
We plan to treat around 30-40 pets per day. Using our virtual waiting room technology, clients
can wait from the comfort of their home and get notified when it’s time to see a veterinarian.
This helps us smooth out the case flow throughout the day and creates a better experience for
our clients and their pets. When clients arrive in the hospital, they will enter a calming and
welcoming atmosphere with elevated design elements that feels more like a coffee shop meets a
spa than a typical animal hospital.
Our goal is to provide world-class veterinary medicine for pets, coupled with an exceptional
hometown experience for their people.

Comments
Staff comments and review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. Staff
comments on the subject case were received from the Fire Prevention Bureau and the
Traffic Engineering and Planning Divisions. All other departments returned the sheets
with no comments.
Fire Prevention Bureau
The Fire Prevention Bureau requests that the floor plan (sheet A) be revised to
include the following:
The depiction of the adjacent Starbucks drive-through lane in order to
determine how it relates to the existing egress door that is located on the
south side of the proposed use.
The labeling of all door widths.
The labeling of all room dimensions.
The inclusion of a scale and a north arrow.
Additionally, the site plan shall be revised to remove the future doors and future
demising wall depicted between 5217 and 5219 Touhy Avenue. The “suite 5217”
and square footage text must also be removed and the square footage for the
combined spaces must be added.
Traffic Engineering Division
Traffic Engineering staff notes that several of the non-accessible spaces located to
the west of the Starbucks drive-through entrance and south of the east-west
driveway are 7’ to 8’ wide rather than the required 9’. Staff requests that this
portion of the parking lot be restriped to match the 9’-wide spaces shown on the
approved site plan.
Planning Division
The Planning Division recommends approval of the special use permit for veterinary
services. The use provides a service that is desired by the community and also
compliments the pet supply store that is located within the shopping center. The
use and the overall shopping center meet the Village’s parking requirements due to
relief being granted for 3 parking spaces in modified review case 2022-01M.
The shopping center’s existing landscaping is not compliant with the approved
landscape plan. Several Mohican Viburnum shrubs are missing within the
landscaped area along the north side of the subject site and an ivory silk lilac tree
has been removed from the landscaped area on the east side of the subject site. All
missing plantings shall be replaced. The Kentucky coffeetrees growing along the
service walkway south of 5225-5237 Touhy Avenue shall be limbed up to a height of
7’ above the walkway.

Date: October 5, 2023
The Chairman called the roll recognizing that there was a quorum present. One commissioner,
Peter Ousley, was absent.
Case Description:
2023-23P: Special Use Permit: 5219 Touhy Avenue
Rubin Skokie, LLC, on behalf of VCA Animal Hospitals, requests a special use permit for
veterinary services in a B2 Commercial zoning district, and any relief that may be
discovered during the review of this case.
PIN: 10-33-101-104-0000
Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to all property owners as prescribed by the
Zoning Chapter. Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct.
Steven Rich, of the asset management team of VCA Animal Hospitals, and Peter Wren, architect
presented the case. VCA Animal Hospitals have 900 facilities across the country providing
urgent care to family pets who do not require an ER visit. They are an outpatient care facility
where they deliver diagnosis, treat and send home, or refer to other professional specialists.
When comparing services, they equate to an immediate care center for people.
Mr. Rich spoke of their unique business model. When an appointment is made, clients can go
about their day and receive a text approximately 30 minutes prior to the appointment
instructing when to bring the animal in to be seen; it saves time in the waiting room which
causes more anxiety to both owner and pet. Hours of operation would be 6 days a week from
10AM to 8PM but they are flexible to adjust the hours if needed.
Commissioner Minchella wanted confirmation that surgery is not performed at this facility.
Commissioner Berman asked if affiliated with the Mars Veterinary Health network, would they
use their own group members for referrals or local veterinarians. He also asked if they board
animals overnight. Mr. Rich stated that they do not compete with 911 vets but rather are an
additional resource.
Staff requested the report to be accepted into the record as written and is supportive of the
request. The floor plan shows a general lobby, offices, diagnosis areas, and pharmacy in the
previous mattress store at the west end of the shopping center. A complimentary use, Bentley’s
pet store, also is located in the center.
In their written comments, the Fire Department requests the depiction of the Starbuck’s drive-
through lane on plans in order to determine the impact to the egress door that is located on the
south side. They also want the door widths labeled as well as rooms dimensioned. Removal of
“Suite 5217”, future doors, and the demising wall between 5217 and 5219 as well as adding the
614615- Plan Commission meeting minutes – October 5, 2023 – 2023-23P
Top of 2023-23P
square footage for the combined spaces. Staff also talked about the modified review case from
2022 which gave relief to the shopping center for 3 parking spaces.
Landscaping needs to be brought back to compliance with the approved plan. Shrubs are
missing in the landscaped area on the north side and a lilac tree was removed from the
landscaped area east of the subject site.
Commissioner Berman asked if the plantings should be the responsibility of the shopping center
and not of the new tenant. Staff explained that whenever a new business opens, the
landscaping requests are tied to the site and it should be taken care of before opening either by
the tenant or owner.
Commissioner Burman stated that there is a litter issue at the center. The owners or Starbucks
do not maintain the site. They don’t adhere to the 4-hour litter rule. Demands made to the
owner go unheard. Staff stated that litter control is embedded into the ordinance and they will
follow up with Starbucks alone and not the whole center.
The petitioner was in agreement to all conditions and had no further comments.
Recommendations and Voting
A motion was made to approve, as presented, the request for a special use permit for
veterinary services in a B2 Commercial zoning district at 5219 Touhy Avenue.

Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.
Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct.
As these cases are related, they were discussed together as a group but voted on separately.
Ellyse Murphy and Jake Greenberg of Bond Touhy, LLC gave an overview the cases. A one-
story Popeye’s Chicken limited service restaurant is proposed to locate in an outlot at the corner
of Touhy and Laramie Avenues of an existing multi-tenant commercial building (Touhy Plaza
Shopping Center).
A petition to re-subdivide the existing single parcel into 2 lots is also being requested. The
majority of the shopping center will be contained as Lot 1 and the proposed Popeye’s
restaurant, drive-through lane, outdoor dining area, parking spaces and driveways will make up
Lot 2. They are requesting a drive-through component as well as outdoor dining. With the mix
of uses at the shopping center, the addition of the Popeye’s is reasonable and a good fit in the
Touhy Avenue corridor.
614579 - Plan Commission meeting minutes – October 5, 2023 – 2023-24P
As the center is 20% overparked, the applicant is requesting parking space relief to provide 136
parking spaces instead of the required 145. The center will lose 30 parking spaces but gain 13
at the north end; most likely for employee parking. Pepboys is transitioning from a retail/service
business to repair only with Advance Auto Parts taking over the retail space. Orange Theory,
Sketchers, and Qahwah House are the remaining tenants of the site. They noted that the
Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant located across Laramie was previously approved for a 30% reduction
of the required parking at their public hearing in 2022.
Popeye’s expects about 60% of their business from their drive-through and has provided 9
stacking spaces. According to their standards, it will only take 3 minutes maximum from order
board to pick-up window. As they submitted prior to the changes made to drive-through
provisions, they are not obligated to adhere to all the conditions but have agreed to include
mobile ordering, no deliveries during peak hours, and screening the drive-through from Touhy
Avenue with shrubbery and landscaping.
The outdoor dining area will be located at the northwest side of the building with 2 tables and
seating for 4 at each table and will include a trash receptacle. Exterior lighting will be installed
so that the patio can be utilized in the evening. The space will be partitioned off by a decorative
metal fence.
Staff requested the report to be accepted into the record as written. There were many concerns
from staff which revolved around circulation, parking, and landscaping. The Fire Department
had reservations about fire truck access. After multiple versions and reviews, staff is in support
of the project with relief for 136 parking spaces as a trade-off for keeping the large, mature
trees on the east side of the site. A condition will be added to encourage continued discussion
regarding a “Plan B” to remedy a possible issue if the stacking line falls behind.
Commissioner Burman noted that between the Touhy and Laramie intersection and Village
Crossing Shopping Center, there are 20 fast food restaurants. With 2 new fast food restaurants
exiting on Touhy he voiced some uneasiness of the increased traffic in the area. Orange Theory
has more than 12 cars taking up their parking spaces which stay parked longer than the 1-hour
classes. Pepboys doesn’t keep cars parked in the 9 interior bays. They also have parking on the
east side with cars parked either waiting for repairs to be done or waiting to be picked up. He
asked staff if there were any neighbor complaints regarding traffic on Laramie. Staff stated that
Traffic Engineering was generally supportive of the requests.
Commissioner Gupta also verified that large trucks park in the lot for days at a time.
Commissioner Franklin offered that cars can exit onto Touhy from the west end of the center to
go westbound. Commissioner Berman asked about the pedestrian access going across the
stacking line. Staff commented that the same model is utilized at Culver’s with no issues.
Ms. Murphy acknowledged the generous amount of help and guidance from staff in getting this
proposal to its current acceptable status.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its October 5, 2023, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Bond Touhy, LLC for
site plan approval for an existing multitenant commercial building and a new limited-service
restaurant with drive-through and relief from §118-218 to provide 136 parking spaces rather
than the required 145. Site plan approval is required in this instance because modifications are
being made to buildings on a site 1 acre or larger in size.
This application was submitted prior to the recent changes regarding drive-throughs and as
such are not bound by those requirements. The petitioner has agreed to follow the spirit of the
zoning code changes by including several of the policy recommendations in this project,
including; providing a plan for how operations will be modified if queuing becomes an issue and
exceeds what is estimated in the traffic analysis; prohibiting deliveries during peak usage times;
providing mobile ordering options; providing some screening from the street; and leaving the
mature trees on site.
The original submittal raised many concerns from staff which revolved around circulation,
parking, and landscaping. The Fire Department had reservations about fire truck access. After
multiple versions and reviews, staff is in support of the project including the parking relief. In
response to staff feedback, applicant is keeping the large, mature trees on the east side of the
site, and providing better site circulation. A condition will be added to encourage continued
discussion regarding a “Plan B” to remedy any possible issues if the stacking line proves to be a
problem.
Commissioner discussion centered around the increased intensity of uses along Touhy including
the increased traffic in the area. Other tenants of this shopping center have longer parking
times than typical i.e. auto-repair and fitness classes. Commissioners asked staff if there were
any neighbor complaints regarding traffic on Laramie. Staff stated that Traffic Engineering was
generally supportive of the requests.
A pedestrian circulation question about the pedestrian access going across the stacking line was
raised. Staff commented that the same model is utilized at Culver’s with no issues.
VOSDOCS-#614696-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_2023-25P
A more detailed discussion of this case is in the attached Staff Report and minutes.

The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 7 ayes and 1 nays, with 1 member

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The Petitioner submitted a request for site plan approval for an existing multitenant
commercial building and a new limited-service restaurant with drive-through and relief
from §118-218 to provide 136 parking spaces rather than the required 145. Site plan
approval is required in this instance because modifications are being made to buildings
on a site 1 acre or larger in size.
The petitioner stated:
The petitioner, Bond Touhy, LLC is proposing the development and construction
of a drive-thru Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen restaurant, approximately 2004 sq.ft.
as an out-lot in the existing Touhy Plaza Shopping Center. The proposed
development is in subdivided Lot-2 of parcel 10-28-313-036-0000, in the
southeast corner of the existing Touhy Plaza Shopping Center, and measures
approximately 15,142 sq.ft. or 0.348 acres. The proposed development is bound
by the shopping center to its west and north, West Touhy Avenue to its south,
and Laramie Avenue to its east. Vehicular access to Lot-2 will be from the
existing shopping center driveway on Laramie Avenue.
Business hours for the proposed Popeyes will be as follows:
10 a.m. – 12 a.m.: Sunday thru Thursday
10 a.m. – 1 a.m.: Friday and Saturday
VOSDOCS-#613902-v1-Staff_Report_-_2023-25P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__5206-5238_Touhy_Avenue
2 of 8
A minimum of 5 employees and a maximum of 8 employees will be present at
any given time during business hours at this restaurant. The franchisee of this
Popeyes restaurant expects about 60% of drive thru business with 30% catered
to the sit-down & takeaway patrons and 10% expected to be online orders.
According to Popeyes’ standards, the maximum time it takes a drive-thru
customer to order food at the drive-thru menu board and pick it up at the drive-
thru window, is approximately 180 seconds or 3 minutes.
The petitioners are also requesting to subdivide (case 2023-24P) existing lots into 2
new lots at 5206-5238 Touhy Avenue in a B2 Commercial zoning district. Lot 1 will
contain the existing multitenant commercial building as well as most of the subject
site’s parking spaces and driveways. Lot 2 will contain the proposed Popeye’s limited
restaurant with a drive-through lane (case 2023-26P), outdoor dining area (case 2023-
27P), and associated parking spaces and driveways.
STAFF ANALYSIS
All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this
case. The Engineering, Forestry, Fire Prevention, and Planning Divisions provided
comments on the subject case.
Engineering Division
A total of 145 parking spaces are required for the subject site and 136 parking
spaces are provided.
If during construction any lane closures or sidewalk closures are intended,
owner/contractor must apply for Public Way Obstruction or Use permit with
Engineering. Application may be obtained with engineering or on Village website.
Traffic control plan and fees will apply.
The petitioner must obtain an MWRD determination letter to determine if an MWRD
permit is required for the proposal.
Forestry Division
Forestry staff requires tree protection fencing for site trees in a construction project.
Please install per plan for site trees. For east boundary trees please extend out as
far as possible. The fencing must remain in place for the duration of the
construction project.
Fire Prevention Division
Fire Prevention was concerned with the tight turning radii shown on initial proposals.
After site plan modifications and adjustments to the parking layout and physical
obstructions, Fire Prevention is satisfied with vehicle access. All other comments
pertain to construction and will be addressed at time of permitting.
Planning Division
VOSDOCS-#613902-v1-Staff_Report_-_2023-25P_-_Site_Plan_Approval__5206-5238_Touhy_Avenue
3 of 8
During review of the proposal the initial concerns were around site circulation, the
layout of parking, and removal of established trees along Laramie. After revisions
which opened a through-lane connecting the east-west aisles parallel to Touhy, the
circulation concerns were addressed. Additionally, the revised plan retained the
existing trees by reconfiguring the parking. These modifications along with those
requested by Fire resulted in the deficit of 11 parking spaces necessitating a request
for relief, which staff supports.
The construction will seek to install high efficiency HVAC units along with a smart
thermostat. Storefront glazing will be double pane, low-e, with a low U-value. All
lighting will be LED. Interior lighting can be on dimmers to preserve energy.
The Planning Division supports the proposed site plan approval request and the
request for parking relief.
This application was submitted prior to the recent changes regarding drive-throughs
and as such are not bound by those requirements. The petitioner has agreed to
follow the spirit of the zoning code changes by including several of the policy
recommendations in this project, including; providing a plan for how operations will
be modified if queuing becomes an issue and exceeds what is estimated in the
traffic analysis; prohibiting deliveries during peak usage times; providing mobile
ordering options; providing some screening from the street; leaving the mature
trees on site;
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Appearance Commission approved case 2023-13A at the June 14, 2023 meeting. A
Certificate of Appropriateness was awarded with the conditions of, reducing the ‘Love
that chicken’ sign by at least 10%, and adding landscaping to the Touhy frontage.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for an existing multitenant commercial
building and a new limited-service restaurant with drive-through at 5206-5238 Touhy
Avenue in an B2 Commercial zoning district be APPROVED based upon the Proposed
Positive Findings of Fact for the site plan approval and subject to the recommended site

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2023-26P: Special Use Permit
Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, November 6, 2023
To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairman
Case: 2023-26P: Special Use Permit for Drive-Through
5206 Touhy Avenue

2023-25P: Site Plan Approval
2023-27P: Special Use Permit for Outdoor Dining
PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its October 5, 2023, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Bond Touhy, LLC for
a special use permit for a new limited service restaurant with drive-through at 5206 Touhy
Avenue in a B2 Commercial district.
This application was submitted prior to the recent changes regarding drive-throughs and as
such are not bound by those requirements. The petitioner has agreed to follow the spirit of the
zoning code changes by including several of the policy recommendations in this project,
including; providing a plan for how operations will be modified if queuing becomes an issue and
exceeds what is estimated in the traffic analysis; prohibiting deliveries during peak usage times;
providing mobile ordering options; providing some screening from the street; and leaving the
mature trees on site.
The original submittal raised many concerns from staff which revolved around circulation,
parking, and landscaping. The Fire Department had reservations about fire truck access. After
multiple versions and reviews, staff is in support of the project including the parking relief. In
response to staff feedback, applicant is keeping the large, mature trees on the east side of the
site, and providing better site circulation. A condition will be added to encourage continued
discussion regarding a “Plan B” to remedy any possible issues if the stacking line proves to be a
problem.
Commissioner discussion centered around the increased intensity of uses along Touhy including
the increased traffic in the area. Other tenants of this shopping center have longer parking
times than typical i.e. auto-repair and fitness classes. Commissioners asked staff if there were
any neighbor complaints regarding traffic on Laramie. Staff stated that Traffic Engineering was
generally supportive of the requests.
A pedestrian circulation question about the pedestrian access going across the stacking line was
raised. Staff commented that the same model is utilized at Culver’s with no issues.

PIN: 10-28-313-036-0000
Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.
Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct.
As these cases are related, they were discussed together as a group but voted on separately.
Ellyse Murphy and Jake Greenberg of Bond Touhy, LLC gave an overview the cases. A one-
story Popeye’s Chicken limited service restaurant is proposed to locate in an outlot at the corner
of Touhy and Laramie Avenues of an existing multi-tenant commercial building (Touhy Plaza
Shopping Center).
A petition to re-subdivide the existing single parcel into 2 lots is also being requested. The
majority of the shopping center will be contained as Lot 1 and the proposed Popeye’s
restaurant, drive-through lane, outdoor dining area, parking spaces and driveways will make up
Lot 2. They are requesting a drive-through component as well as outdoor dining. With the mix
of uses at the shopping center, the addition of the Popeye’s is reasonable and a good fit in the
Touhy Avenue corridor.
614579 - Plan Commission meeting minutes – October 5, 2023 – 2023-24P
As the center is 20% overparked, the applicant is requesting parking space relief to provide 136
parking spaces instead of the required 145. The center will lose 30 parking spaces but gain 13
at the north end; most likely for employee parking. Pepboys is transitioning from a retail/service
business to repair only with Advance Auto Parts taking over the retail space. Orange Theory,
Sketchers, and Qahwah House are the remaining tenants of the site. They noted that the
Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant located across Laramie was previously approved for a 30% reduction
of the required parking at their public hearing in 2022.
Popeye’s expects about 60% of their business from their drive-through and has provided 9
stacking spaces. According to their standards, it will only take 3 minutes maximum from order
board to pick-up window. As they submitted prior to the changes made to drive-through
provisions, they are not obligated to adhere to all the conditions but have agreed to include
mobile ordering, no deliveries during peak hours, and screening the drive-through from Touhy
Avenue with shrubbery and landscaping.
The outdoor dining area will be located at the northwest side of the building with 2 tables and
seating for 4 at each table and will include a trash receptacle. Exterior lighting will be installed
so that the patio can be utilized in the evening. The space will be partitioned off by a decorative
metal fence.
Staff requested the report to be accepted into the record as written. There were many concerns
from staff which revolved around circulation, parking, and landscaping. The Fire Department
had reservations about fire truck access. After multiple versions and reviews, staff is in support
of the project with relief for 136 parking spaces as a trade-off for keeping the large, mature
trees on the east side of the site. A condition will be added to encourage continued discussion
regarding a “Plan B” to remedy a possible issue if the stacking line falls behind.
Commissioner Burman noted that between the Touhy and Laramie intersection and Village
Crossing Shopping Center, there are 20 fast food restaurants. With 2 new fast food restaurants
exiting on Touhy he voiced some uneasiness of the increased traffic in the area. Orange Theory
has more than 12 cars taking up their parking spaces which stay parked longer than the 1-hour
classes. Pepboys doesn’t keep cars parked in the 9 interior bays. They also have parking on the
east side with cars parked either waiting for repairs to be done or waiting to be picked up. He
asked staff if there were any neighbor complaints regarding traffic on Laramie. Staff stated that
Traffic Engineering was generally supportive of the requests.
Commissioner Gupta also verified that large trucks park in the lot for days at a time.
Commissioner Franklin offered that cars can exit onto Touhy from the west end of the center to
go westbound. Commissioner Berman asked about the pedestrian access going across the
stacking line. Staff commented that the same model is utilized at Culver’s with no issues.
Ms. Murphy acknowledged the generous amount of help and guidance from staff in getting this
proposal to its current acceptable status.

Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.
Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct.
As these cases are related, they were discussed together as a group but voted on separately.
Ellyse Murphy and Jake Greenberg of Bond Touhy, LLC gave an overview the cases. A one-
story Popeye’s Chicken limited service restaurant is proposed to locate in an outlot at the corner
of Touhy and Laramie Avenues of an existing multi-tenant commercial building (Touhy Plaza
Shopping Center).
A petition to re-subdivide the existing single parcel into 2 lots is also being requested. The
majority of the shopping center will be contained as Lot 1 and the proposed Popeye’s
restaurant, drive-through lane, outdoor dining area, parking spaces and driveways will make up
Lot 2. They are requesting a drive-through component as well as outdoor dining. With the mix
of uses at the shopping center, the addition of the Popeye’s is reasonable and a good fit in the
Touhy Avenue corridor.
614579 - Plan Commission meeting minutes – October 5, 2023 – 2023-24P
As the center is 20% overparked, the applicant is requesting parking space relief to provide 136
parking spaces instead of the required 145. The center will lose 30 parking spaces but gain 13
at the north end; most likely for employee parking. Pepboys is transitioning from a retail/service
business to repair only with Advance Auto Parts taking over the retail space. Orange Theory,
Sketchers, and Qahwah House are the remaining tenants of the site. They noted that the
Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant located across Laramie was previously approved for a 30% reduction
of the required parking at their public hearing in 2022.
Popeye’s expects about 60% of their business from their drive-through and has provided 9
stacking spaces. According to their standards, it will only take 3 minutes maximum from order
board to pick-up window. As they submitted prior to the changes made to drive-through
provisions, they are not obligated to adhere to all the conditions but have agreed to include
mobile ordering, no deliveries during peak hours, and screening the drive-through from Touhy
Avenue with shrubbery and landscaping.
The outdoor dining area will be located at the northwest side of the building with 2 tables and
seating for 4 at each table and will include a trash receptacle. Exterior lighting will be installed
so that the patio can be utilized in the evening. The space will be partitioned off by a decorative
metal fence.
Staff requested the report to be accepted into the record as written. There were many concerns
from staff which revolved around circulation, parking, and landscaping. The Fire Department
had reservations about fire truck access. After multiple versions and reviews, staff is in support
of the project with relief for 136 parking spaces as a trade-off for keeping the large, mature
trees on the east side of the site. A condition will be added to encourage continued discussion
regarding a “Plan B” to remedy a possible issue if the stacking line falls behind.
Commissioner Burman noted that between the Touhy and Laramie intersection and Village
Crossing Shopping Center, there are 20 fast food restaurants. With 2 new fast food restaurants
exiting on Touhy he voiced some uneasiness of the increased traffic in the area. Orange Theory
has more than 12 cars taking up their parking spaces which stay parked longer than the 1-hour
classes. Pepboys doesn’t keep cars parked in the 9 interior bays. They also have parking on the
east side with cars parked either waiting for repairs to be done or waiting to be picked up. He
asked staff if there were any neighbor complaints regarding traffic on Laramie. Staff stated that
Traffic Engineering was generally supportive of the requests.
Commissioner Gupta also verified that large trucks park in the lot for days at a time.
Commissioner Franklin offered that cars can exit onto Touhy from the west end of the center to
go westbound. Commissioner Berman asked about the pedestrian access going across the
stacking line. Staff commented that the same model is utilized at Culver’s with no issues.
Ms. Murphy acknowledged the generous amount of help and guidance from staff in getting this
proposal to its current acceptable status.
