Paid Leave for All Employees Working for the Village of Skokie, As of March 13, 2023, Governor Pritzker signed into law the Paid Leave for All Workers Act. The law mandates that employees are entitled to a minimum of 40 hours of leave per year. Theoretically, under the Act, an entire shift of police officers, firefighters, public works crews or Village Hall administrative staff could all request to be off work the same week or during an emergency response such as snow storms. It is staff's recommendation to exclude the Village of Skokie as an employer from coverage under the Paid Leave for All Workers Act. This is essential to ensure continuity of municipa! services. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request the Mayor and Board to authorize Corporation Counsel to draft the necessary ordinance. 615996  Return to Mgr Rpt A Memorandum Manager's Office TO: John T. Lockerby, Village Manager FROM: Debra Stinson, Human Resources Director DATE: November 20, 2023 SUBJECT: Agenda Item - December 4, 2023 Board Meeting Paid Leave for Ail Employees Working For the Village of Skokie On March 13, 2023, Governor Pritzker signed into law the Paid Leave for All Workers Act - PLAWA ("Act"), The law mandates that employees are entitled to a minimum of 40 hours of leave per year. Such leave can be used at the employee s discretion for any reason. Although the General Assembly has considered exempting municipalities from the legislation like Park Districts, that has not yet happened. One of the primary concerns of the Act is that employees may use these 40 hours of paid time off without providing a reason and the time off cannot be denied by the employer. Theoretically, under the Act, an entire shift of police officers, firefighters, public works crews, or Village Hall administrative staff could all request to be off work the same week or during an emergency response such as snow storms. In this instance/ the Village would be seriously impacted in terms of service delivery with little to no recourse. As such/ I recommend the Village approve an ordinance to exclude the Village of Skokie as an employer from coverage under the Paid Leave for All Workers Act, thereby ensuring continuous municipal operations and services for the community. It must be noted that the Village offers leave programs for employees. It is essential that employee benefits including employee leave be determined by the Village, as the entity best suited to determine employee needs, assess impacts on Village operations and determine impacts on taxpayers. I respectfully request the Board authorize Corporation Counsel to draft the appropriate Ordinance relative to this matter. 615877-vl  Return to Agenda Memorandum Corporation Counsel's Office TO: TJij^ybuQrable May/^r and Board of Trustees FROM: lael M.

Lockerby, Village Manager DATE: October 27, 2023 SUBJECT: Agenda Item - November 6,2023 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, ail 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 survey, and via email. Non-partisan Elections As outlined in Attachment 1 , the Village of Skokie Code wi!l 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 Genera!

For the second public meeting on September 1 1, 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 expiaining 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. #615223  Return to top of F Attachment 1 F KTJ KLEIN.

Lockerby Village Manager Village ofSkokie FROM: Klein, Thorpe & Jenkins, Ltd. 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 ofthe Village Code, establishes the system of nonpartisan elections approved by the first 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. 571038 1  Return to top of F Attachment 1 F 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 202 5 February/Aprilof2027 February/ApriI of 2029 Consolidated Election Consolidated Election Consolidated Election 2 "year terms 4-year terms 4-year terms Trustee - District 1 Trustee - District 1 Mayor Trustee ~ District 2 Trustee - District 2 Clerk Trustee ~ District 3 Trustee - District 3 Trustee At-Large Trustee - District 4 Trustee - District 4 Trustee At-Large 4-year terms Not up for election - next Not up for election - next election April 2029 election April 2031 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-Iarge trustees would run for election to 571038 1  Return to top of F Attachment 1 F 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. 571038 1  Return to top of F Attachment 2 F Institute for ^^ Work & the Economy October 19, 2023 John Lockerby Village Manager Village of Skokie/ Illinois RE: Design of the Proposed Village ofSkokie District Map The proposed Village ofSkokie District Map was drawn in accordance with the following eight principles: 1. One person/ one vote 2. Compact and contiguous 3. Centerthe 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 land 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-westaxisora north-south axis would make no sense to residents on opposite ends of such districts. We were careful to obsen/e 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 land 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 land 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. PeterA.Creticos, Ph.D. President & Executive Director 105 W.

Orchard Village proposes to convert a library space on the ground floor of the residence into an additional bedroom, bringing the total number of bedrooms to 6 in the home. Orchard Village has a Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) license from the Illinois Department of Human Services, which allows them to provide residential services and programs to people with developmental disabilities. Orchard Village provides residential services where people struggling with developmental disabilities are taught how to live independently and are integrated into their communities. Staff provides support with money management, healthy meal preparation, and medical case management. CILA Group homes, services and staff are regulated by the State of Illinois General Assembly’s Administrative code under the chapter of the Department of Human Services. The regulations include maximum number of residents allowed in a group home (8), staff responsibilities and requirements, and specific rules regarding patient care. The home at 9230 Lotus Avenue will serve as a permanent residence for these 6 women in the Orchard Village system and they will have 1-2 staff members present at any time the Orchard Village residents are home. Staff transports residents to jobs, doctors’ appointments, and other extracurricular activities from 8:30am to 2:30pm Monday through Friday. Currently, there are 40 total group homes located in Skokie at 38 different addresses, with 2 congregate living facilities sharing a two-flat residential building. Since the inclusion of congregate living facilities in the village code, there have been 45 group homes of which 5 closed and were sold to be converted back into private residences. Skokie has a long history with group homes and they have shown to be well integrated within their communities. The location of the proposed congregate living facility conforms with the proximity requirement limiting congregate living facilities from being 800 feet from one another as stated in Section 118-95 f (2) of the Village code. The applicant proposes to provide on-site parking for an Orchard Village minivan to be used to transport residents who are unable to drive, and a staff vehicle, in the 2-car garage available on-site. When necessary, there are an additional 4 off-street parking spaces on the large driveway for any guests or extra support staff. 1 VOSDOCS-#615388-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_2023-29P  Return to top of 2023-29P Upon review, the Plan Commission determined that the 6 on-site parking spaces accommodate the needs of the Site Plan Approval are required for the subject site1 and supported the ability for Orchard Village to use all 6 bedrooms for the residents of this Congregate Living Facility. 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. Marlene Hodges, a representative of Orchard Village at the meeting, gave an overview of the programs Orchard Village provides and a clarification of what services will be provided at 9230 Lotus Avenue to its residents. Marlene also answered questions presented to her by the commissioners regarding total number of residents, number of staff at any given time, expected guests or additional visitors, and other clarifying questions regarding the intended use and daily functions of the site. A number of 9230 Lotus Avenue neighbors spoke in regards to their concerns that the site plan proposal would “appreciably alter the characteristics of this neighborhood”. Multiple public comments were made questioning the intended use of the site, and the proposed total number of residents that would be allowed at a time in the residence. Commissioners and staff addressed concerns regarding the proposals compliance with village code and started dialogues regarding the intentions of programs like the ones Orchard Village provides and the responsibility of the neighborhood to be accepting and involved in assisting Orchard Village residents to become more integrated within their communities. APPEARANCE COMMISSION No exterior improvements are planned by the petitioner, no Appearance Commission review is required. 2 VOSDOCS-#615388-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_2023-29P  Return to top of 2023-29P Site Plan Approval ATTENDANCE AYES NAYS ABSENT Ousley (Moved) X Michella X Berman X Franklin X Gupta X Gevaryahu (Second) X Burman X Mathee X Luke X PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 5 ayes, 0 nays, and 4 absent, that the petitioner’s request for a parking determination be 6 on-site parking spaces, and the request for a site plan approval to establish a 6-bedroom Congregate Living Facility at 9230 Lotus Avenue, in an R2 Single-Family zoning district, be APPROVED, based upon the Proposed Positive Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended conditions below.

Petitioner Marlene Hodges on behalf of Orchard Village, an Illinois Corporation Size of Site 17,890.8 combined square feet with the adjacent lot, with frontage on Lotus Avenue Existing Zoning & R2 Single-Family – single-family detached home Land Use Adjacent Zoning & North R2 Single-Family – single-family detached home Land Use OR – Office Research District North of South R2 Single-Family – single-family detached home East R2 Single-Family – single-family detached home M2 Light Industry District B2 Commercial District Interstate-94 directly adjacent to Site West R2 Single-Family – single-family detached home Morton Grove, Illinois Comprehensive Plan The property is designated single family detached residential in Sector H: Old Orchard in the Comprehensive Plan. SITE INFORMATION 8 VOSDOCS-#615388-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_2023-29P  Return to top of 2023-29P • The site contains an existing detached residence with 5 bedrooms, a basement and second floor. • There is a driveway with access to a two-car garage and street parking along Lotus Avenue. • The 208 Pace bus route, which services Golf Road, is approximately 3.5 blocks north of the site. • Interstate-94 sits directly adjacent to the property on the East side. • The facility is located in an area reasonably accessible to public transportation, and, if needed, employment, vocational, medical, psychiatric, recreational, and other community resources that might be used by the facility’s residents. PROPOSAL SUMMARY The petitioners are requesting site plan approval for a 6-unit congregate living facility in an R2 Single-Family Housing district for a 24-hour supervised group home or a Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) for people with disabilities or other special needs. Orchard Village is reconfiguring the layout of the ground floor at 9230 Lotus Avenue to add an additional bedroom to the current 5-bedroom residence in order to accommodate the 6 Orchard Village residents at another facility. Orchard Village is requesting to use this 6-bedroom house as a group home for up to 8 unrelated adults with developmental disabilities. Per case 2023-28P, the minimum parking requirement is at least 2 on-site parking spaces for Orchard Village staff and for the Orchard Village van that will remain on-site. PETITIONER’S STATEMENT Orchard Village submitted this statement of effects for 9230 Lotus Avenue: “Orchard Village, based in Skokie, has been in the business of providing services to individuals with developmental and other disabilities for over 50 years. These services include housing and 24-hour care for individuals who are not able to live independently. Orchard Village strives to provide comfortable, safe homes and be a good neighbor in the process. For the past 3 years it has been a strategic initiative of the Orchard Village Board to improve the quality of the homes that the Agency provides. This includes private rooms for all residents and more than one space for the residents to meet with family and friends – perhaps both a family room and a living room. Also, many of the residents are aging and have physical difficulties, especially with stairs. Handicap accessible homes for at least some of the residents is a very high priority. 9 VOSDOCS-#615388-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_2023-29P  Return to top of 2023-29P It is the intent of Orchard Village to move 6 ladies, who are currently residents of another Orchard Village CILA in Skokie, to this new home. Several of these ladies have lived together for over 40 years. They really need accessible spaces where they can age in peace. One or two Orchard Village staff members are present at any time residents are home. Generally, residents go to various day programs from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, Monday thru Friday. Orchard Village Plans to sell the home where these ladies are currently living. The stairs are narrow and challenging even for the able-bodied” STAFF REVIEW All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case. The following is a summary of principal aspects of the proposed development: Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as Single Family Detached Residential. The proposed Congregate Living Facility adheres to the Comprehensive Plan. Land Use The proposed land use is a Congregate Living Facility, which is a permitted use in the R2 district; however, since the home has more than 4 bedrooms, a Site Plan Approval is required to occupy all 6 bedrooms. Zoning Requirements The existing buildings and improvements adhere to minimum R2 district requirements. Building & Site Elements The existing single-family home and detached garage will remain. There are currently two lots under different pins at this address (10-16-123-055-0000 and 10-16-123-056- 0000). The Fire Prevention Bureau is requesting that site and floor plans be resubmitted by a licensed architect prior to the issuance of any building permits and the scope of work to be defined, as the plans submitted do not show detail of any work is being completed. Fire also requests that sprinkler and fire alarm system plans be submitted and approved. There is currently a code violation regarding the drainage system at this address, in which the Building and Inspections Division issued a final code violation notice and final inspection will take place October 17, 2023. Staff recommends that this matter must be resolved in order for this project to move forward to the Village Board. Parking, Access, & Circulation Per Case 2023-28P, the facility is expected to consistently have one van to transport 10 VOSDOCS-#615388-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_2023-29P  Return to top of 2023-29P residents in the Orchard Village program, to and from appointments and extracurricular activities, and one village staff vehicle. The site is able to accommodate these spaces with the existing 2 car garage and driveway. If guests are expected, there are about 4 spaces available in the large driveway. The site has a total of 6 off-street parking spaces. Plan Commission is set to make a final decision of the total number of required off- street parking spaces at the October 19 Plan Commission meeting. Complete Streets The following provides information regarding walkability and transit opportunities: • Public sidewalks are available along Lotus Avenue. ADA ramps with contrasting color tactile warning indicators are located at intersections. • The closest bus services include Pace Bus routes 208 and 250, servicing Golf Road and Dempster Street respectively • Emergency and business delivery access is available via Lotus Avenue. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval be APPROVED based upon the Proposed Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended site plan approval conditions listed below. 11 VOSDOCS-#615388-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_2023-29P  Return to top of 2023-29P Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Date: October 19, 2023 PLAN COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Paul Luke - Chair Scott Berman, Talia Gevaryahu, Erica Minchella, and Peter Ousley PLAN COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT: Jeff Burman – Vice-Chair Cindy Franklin, Vijai Gupta, and Ross Mathee STAFF PRESENT: Tyler Kobylski, Asst Corporation Counsel, Paul Reise, Planning Manager, Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator, and Marlene Bargamian, Administrative Assistant (I) CALL TO ORDER A quorum being present, Chair Luke called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM. (II) APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion to approve the minutes of the October 5, 2023 meeting was made by Commissioner Berman and seconded by Commissioner Gevaryahu. Ayes: Unanimous voice vote in unison (III) RULING ON NOTICE Assistant Corporation Counsel Kobylski determined that notice was proper and correct. (IV) CASE DESCRIPTIONS Case 2023-28P – Parking Determination: 9230 Lotus Avenue Orchard Village, an Illinois corporation, requires a parking determination for a 6-bedroom congregate living facility. Case 2023-29P – Site Plan Approval: 9230 Lotus Avenue Orchard Village, an Illinois corporation, requests site plan approval for a 6-bedroom congregate living facility in an R2 Single-Family zoning district, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. PINs: 10-22-402-009-0000 and 10-22-402-010-0000 As both cases are related, they were discussed together but voted on separately. Chairman Luke read the submitted public comments into the record. He stated that the Village of Skokie’s job is to oversee that code regulations are followed and that a home is safe. They cannot prohibit a CILA house from occupying a property if it meets requirements. # 615343 Plan Commission meeting minutes October 19, 2023  Return to top of 2023-29P Ms. Marlene Hodges has been employed by Orchard Village as their Executive Vice- President and Chief Operating Officer for twelve years. She gave a brief history of the not- for-profit business explaining that since 1972 they have been providing care and housing services to individuals with developmental disabilities who are unable to live independently on their own. In fact, their 1st clients are still housed with them after 50 years. They currently own (12) small 3-bedroom, 1½ bath homes which serves 6-8 people each with 24-hour staff. As some of the residents are getting older and cannot walk stairs anymore, the Orchard Village board would like to afford handicapped accessible homes where their aging clients can each have a bedroom with a shared bathroom. They strive to provide comfortable, safe homes and be good neighbors. The subject property was owned by a WWII disabled veteran and his son was elated to honor his father by turning the house over to Orchard Village after 70 years of being family owned. It is currently a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home which, after converting the library into another bedroom, will become home to 6 women who have been living together for the past 40 years. All the residents go to day programs and are supervised in the evening by caretakers. Occasionally, they do get visited by family. Commissioner Scott Berman asked questions regarding the use of a disability bus parked on site, the exterior changes needed at the property that will be used as an institutional use, and client/staff ratio. Ms. Hodges stated that they use a regular mini-van to take clients to activities and appointments. Orchard Village’s main concern is safety and keeping the interior and exterior aesthetically pleasant. At the subject site, 2 trees were removed which were examined to be unsafe and the grounds were cleaned-up and re-seeded. She also reiterated that 1 or 2 staff are always present whenever clients are at home. Mr. Jose Acosta, Planning Coordinator, requested that the reports be entered into the record as written. Since none of the residents’ drive, the Orchard Village mini-van as well as one staff vehicle are able to utilize the existing 2-car garage. There is enough room on the long driveway to contain 4 additional cars for visitors. The final determination regarding parking was decided by the Plan Commission to be 6 on-site parking spaces; needing no Village Board input. Staff is in support of the site plan approval request. The subject site occupies 2 lots with different PINs and therefore, PIN consolidation is a recommendation for approval. The Fire Department, in their written comments, stated that detailed site and floor plans need to be resubmitted showing the scope of work, with sprinkler and fire alarm systems installed before the issuance of building permits. Staff pointed out that Conditions 2 & 3 of the staff report are to be omitted as they have been taken care of since the writing of the report. Commissioner Gevaryahu questioned if a zoning change was in order. Congregate living facilities are permitted uses in the R2 Single-Family zoning district. However, site plan approval is necessary when a home has more than 4 bedrooms. Commissioner Berman reminded all about no occupancy until the Fire Department review and sign off. # 615343 Plan Commission meeting minutes October 19, 2023  Return to top of 2023-29P Ms. Hodges is in agreement with waiting on the permit. The current Skokie home that the 6 women are living in will be sold as the stairs are too narrow and challenging even to the able- bodied. Chairman Luke opened the meeting for public comments and called on interested parties from the sign-up sheet. Erik Anderson, 9250 Lotus Avenue, stated that his initial concerns have been explained but was surprised that the Village of Skokie cleaned up the felled tree despite it being on private property. Commissioner Ousley answered that if the tree fell due to a storm and it impacts a public way, the Village will come out. Mr. Anderson also inquired about the side lot. Commissioner Berman stated that the applicant can reject the consolidation recommendation and sell off the buildable, vacant lot next door. Dean Rauchwerger, adjacent homeowner, spoke of the quiet, charming neighborhood that Orchard Village is trying to integrate into. Most households are 2-3 people; not 8-10. This drastic change in density will alter the characteristics of the neighborhood. He also commented on the 3-minute limitation to speak when the petitioner has no time restrictions. It sounds like this is a “rubber-stamp” project including the removal of a 100-year old tree on a week-end. Chairman Luke asked if his concern is against families with more than 2 kids. As an example, this 5-bedroom house could be a home to 2-parents with 3 kids. Commissioner Berman added that a 5-bedroom home is allowed to have as many residents as can fit. Nina Rauchwerger further remarked that neighbors are in attendance to voice their comments of objection. If they cannot stop this project, why did they bother to attend? She also asked about the relationship between the Village of Skokie and Orchard Village; 4 Village trucks cleaned up the downed tree. She also stated that the maximum number of residents is said to be 6 right now; how can they be sure more are not added in the future? Commissioner Berman answered that the house will look like the same house it is. It will not look institutionalized. The house will go through inspections from the Health Department and monitored by other governing agencies. Steven Pauley, 5440 Foster Street, mentioned the conditions of the group home at 9223 Linder (?) that has been in the neighborhood for about 10 years and asked if they were affiliated. Staff is not aware of another group home in the area as locations are not disclosed. It depends on how the Linder home is coded in our computer system. Chairman Luke stated that the Plan Commission reviews development and enforcement is handled by Building Inspection Services. Helen Sarris, 9315 Linder Avenue, referenced that Orchard Village started out with 1 house on Marmora Avenue and continued buying all the houses on the cul-de-sac and wondered if they will be buying up more properties in this neighborhood. Are there limits on space within a certain radius? In 2-3 years, can they bring in more residents? Staff answered that there is a regulation in place that an 800 ft. distance is required between congregate living facilities. The state limits up to 8 non-related residents can occupy a home if space is available. At this house, the maximum is 6 residents. Commissioner Berman added that the block will not change to all group homes. # 615343 Plan Commission meeting minutes October 19, 2023  Return to top of 2023-29P Michelle Hammond, 9215 Linder, works in the special education field, stated that these individuals need to live somewhere. Her concern is their safety if they walk or wander in the neighborhood as there will be no signage at the property. Mark Matthews, 9338 Lotus Avenue, is concerned about his children’s safety and the family’s security. Is this a home for the mentally imbalanced? Selma Zukancic, 9436 Lotus Avenue, commented that the Linder group home is located across the alley from her home and looks like an institutional property. These homes usually have limited resources with only 1 staff member to care for the residents. What about escapes? Where does one go to report problems? In her opinion, the house is good, but the location is bad. Kathy Pauley, 5440 Foster Street, asked if this was a Village of Skokie project. When the house was sold to Orchard Village to become a group home, why wasn’t a meeting set to get neighbor input? Chairman Luke answered that the Village of Skokie had no prior knowledge as this was a private sale. In conclusion, Ms. Hodges reiterated, that this home will have 6 residents with up to 2 staff members. They can legally have 8 but their intent is to have 6. The residents are not locked in; they are higher functioning and can walk around the neighborhood unaided without telling a supervisor. They will not cause any unsafe conditions. Commissioner Ousley commented that he found the discussion to be distasteful talking about people that are not able to go about their business in their own neighborhood. (IV) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING Case 2023-28P: Parking Determination – 9230 Lotus Avenue The Plan Commission determined that the off-street parking requirement for the congregate living facility located at 9230 Lotus Avenue is 6 on-site parking spaces. The attached 2-car garage should accommodate the Orchard Village van as well as a staff vehicle. The long driveway can accommodate 4 additional vehicles for visitors. None of the residents’ drive. This determination is only for this group home and not transferrable.
