MOTION CARRIED
b. Adoption of FY2027 Budget.
Village Manager Lockerby presented the FY2027 budget for adoption, summarizing decisions made
during four public hearings held in April. The FY2027 General Fund budget totals $78,200,000, and all
funds combined total $194,893,846. Manager Lockerby said the budget includes funding related to
the amusement surcharge rate increase and streaming extension, and will be discussed under the next
agenda item. Trustee Robinson and Mayor Tennes appreciated the Board’s budget process and
discussions.
Motion to adopt the FY2027 General Fund Budget, or operating budget, equating to $78,260,937. All
funds, including Water, Pension, Economic Development, Motor Fuel and Local Fuel Tax, Self-
Insurance, General Obligation Bonded Debt, Tax Increment Financing, Federal Aid, Performing Arts
Center, Convention and Visitors Bureau, Special Service Areas, Wireless Alarms and Capital
Improvement Program.

MOTION CARRIED
Amusement Surcharge Rate Increase and Extension to Streaming.
Motion to concur with staff’s recommendation and request to consider the amendment and direct
Corporation Counsel to draft the appropriate ordinance.
Director of Finance Julian Prendi reported that FY2027 is balanced for existing services, but over
$1,000,000 in strategic enhancements require new revenue, including development services/property
standards improvements and expanded peak-hour ambulance service. He proposed amending the
amusement tax to include streaming services, citing declining cable revenues, Skokie’s 2% rate versus
the ~5% regional average, and the shift to digital. He estimated the change would generate just
under $1,070,000 annually, or about $3 per month per household and $0.46 per movie ticket, and
noted similar taxes have been adopted in surrounding communities.
Trustee Kimani Levy asked about collection and enforcement; Director Prendi confirmed streaming
providers would collect and remit the tax under existing Village Code. Mayor Tennes clarified the
proposed rate would remain slightly below the regional average.
Trustee Schechter said that the proposed tax targets discretionary spending and is less regressive
than fees on essential services; Director Prendi agreed, it focuses on non-essential consumption.
Trustee Iverson asked about implementation timing and long-term projections. Director Prendi said
staff has identified approximately 50 streaming providers and is targeting an August 1 effective date,
with July 1 as the deadline for provider coordination.
Mayor Tennes noted the tax will also apply to tickets at the Village-owned North Shore Center for the
Performing Arts.
Lauren Grodnicki asked about the increasing cost, complexity of streaming services and questioned
long-term revenue stability. Village Manager Lockerby said that the Village continuously monitors
revenue sources and will apply the same oversight and forecasting to this tax.
Motion to direct Corporation Counsel to draft the required ordinances for the Amusement Surcharge
Rate Increase and Extension to Streaming.

Monday, May 18, 2026
Motion to adopt a Resolution adopting public comment rules. Item C is on the consent agenda for
second reading and adoption. The first reading was on May 4, 2026.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Weiss provided an overview of the legal basis for public comment
rules, citing Illinois Open Meetings Act requirements and related case law and Public Access
Counselor opinions. He explained that proposed provisions on time limits, germaneness, speaker
order, and display limitations are based on established legal guidance and reflect the need to balance
public input with orderly conduct of meetings. He noted Skokie’s public comment structure is
expansive compared to peer municipalities.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Weiss also spoke about concerns regarding the prohibition on using
Village audiovisual equipment during public comment. Mayor Tennes explained the policy is based on
cybersecurity risks, system compatibility limitations with hybrid Zoom participation, and consistency
of meeting procedures. Mayor Tennes said that residents may submit materials in advance, provide
them to staff, or distribute printed copies at meetings for inclusion in the record.
Trustee Schechter asked why public comment is excluded at Committee of the Whole meetings held
the same evening as regular Board meetings. Mayor Tennes explained these meetings are time-
limited and prioritize Board deliberation, and noted residents may still submit written comments and
speak during the regular meeting public comment period on any matter discussed.
Trustee Schechter asked about the document camera restriction. Assistant Corporation Counsel Weiss
said the restriction ensures consistent treatment across meetings due to varying hybrid participation
and reflects best legal guidance. Trustee Lissa Levy asked whether the camera could be used when all
members are present in person. Mayor Tennes and Assistant Corporation Counsel Weiss maintained
the consistency concern.
Trustee Robinson asked about research on best practices. Assistant Corporation Counsel Weiss said
the rules are grounded in case law and Public Access Counselor guidance. Most peer municipalities
do not permit visual presentations during public comment. Trustee Pure Slovin and Village Clerk Desai
confirmed that the public comments emailed are included in the public record and subject to FOIA
(with redactions as appropriate).
Lauren Grodnicki questioned the consistency rationale for the document camera policy and requested
emailed public comments be published verbatim. Village Clerk Desai and Assistant Corporation
Counsel Weiss noted privacy and FOIA constraints. Shelli Pat encouraged exploring broader
publication of public comments for transparency. Imran Shah asked about enforcement standards,
exclusion of Committee of the Whole comment, timing of the policy, and the not using the document
camera and questioning cybersecurity.
Trustee Schechter asked that the resolution include periodic review of language. Trustee Pure Slovin
and Mayor Tennes stated the rules are subject to future revision as needed.
Motion to adopt a Resolution adopting public comment rules.

Public Hearing
Case 2026-01M – A request by the PNC Financial Services Group at 5033 Dempster
Street for the full repeal and replacement of special use permit ordinance 03-6-Z-3176 through the
modified review procedure.
Mayor Tennes opened the public hearing and confirmed proper notice had been provided.
Community Development Director Johanna Nyden presented a request from PNC Financial Services
Group to repeal and replace the existing special use permit for the branch bank at 5033 Dempster
Street. The request includes continuation of the bank use and modifications to the site and landscape
plans, including removal of an auxiliary parking lot west of Le Claire Avenue while maintaining 37
parking spaces. Director Nyden noted the ordinance also incorporates updated standard conditions
and will return for second reading.
Petitioner representative Jim Olguin said the remaining parking would meet current and future
operational needs and flexibility for future expansion.
Lauren Grodnicki said that current parking appears underutilized and asked if future site
improvements could include additional green space. Julie McGinnis asked about environmental
efforts for new businesses such as permeable surfaces. Director Nyden explained that this is an
existing site and future redevelopment would be subject to current stormwater and impervious
surface requirements, and Jim Olguin noted sustainable paving materials are commonly encouraged
by Village staff.

Mayor Tennes opened the public hearing and confirmed proper notice had been provided.
Community Development Director Nyden presented a request from Pickledilly for modifications to its
existing special use permit at 4919 Main Street to accommodate continued indoor pickleball
operations, including four full-sized courts, a turf game area, storage, and additional restrooms.
Petitioner representative Lauren Busey said the facility has experienced strong community
participation and explained the additional space would support expanded recreational and
community gathering uses and support from neighboring businesses.
Trustee Schechter asked about fire safety and code compliance. Director Nyden confirmed the Fire
Department reviewed the project and verified compliance with exit access, sprinklers, and emergency
vehicle access requirements.
Trustee Pure Slovin congratulated Pickledilly on its success and proposed expansion in the
community.
Julie McGinnis asked about disturbance to the natural area along the Skokie path adjacent to the site
and requested further review. Director Nyden stated staff was unaware of any unauthorized tree
removal related to the project. Mayor Tennes asked Julie McGinnis to provide contact information for
follow-up by Village staff.
Imran Shah asked the Board to independently verify compliance with development conditions and
concerns based on prior project experiences.

to allow 13 parking spaces instead of the required 14. Director Nyden noted the automotive detailing
business has operated at the site since April 2024 and expanded into an adjacent space in late 2025.
Fahad Wahid described the business’s detailing, paint protection, tinting, and wrapping services,
noting operations focus on high-end vehicles requiring secure indoor storage and curing. He stated
the business manages vehicle flow through scheduling and client pickup/drop-off services to
minimize parking impacts. Trustee Pure Slovin congratulated Fahad Wahid.

B. Plan Commission Case 2026-06P – Zoning Chapter Amendment: 8357 Skokie Blvd.
Motion to approve a zoning chapter amendment to 118-183 of the Skokie Village code to remove
8357 Skokie Boulevard from the retail street designation subject to all conditions.
Community Development Director Nyden requested joint consideration of Plan Commission Cases
2026-06P, 2026-07P, 2026-08P, and 2026-09P related to the proposed relocation of a Dunkin’
restaurant from Main Street and Skokie Boulevard to the former 7-Eleven site at 8357 Skokie
Boulevard. Director Nyden explained the Panjwani family, longtime Dunkin’ operators in Skokie, is
seeking zoning text and map amendments and a special use permit for a limited-service restaurant
with a drive-through. A related zoning map amendment was also proposed for the current location at
4741 Main Street.
Director Nyden said the proposal includes a 10-vehicle drive-through stacking lane, 17 parking
spaces, outdoor dining, bicycle parking, and building modifications to accommodate vehicle
circulation.
Reena Panjwani, representing the petitioner, said the existing Main Street Dunkin’ has operated
without a drive-through since approximately 2008 and has been a low-volume location. She noted the
family worked through multiple site configurations with Village staff before arriving at the current
proposal.
Trustee Schechter asked about future plans for the current 4741 Main Street location and asked about
sustainability and transit-oriented development goals. Reena Panjwani said discussions are ongoing
regarding future redevelopment options, including potential mixed-use uses.
Director Nyden said staff evaluated the site for mixed-use feasibility but determined current market
conditions made such development impractical at the proposed relocation site and noted the existing
Main Street property is viewed as a stronger long-term mixed-use opportunity. Director Nyden and
Mayor Tennes also said the proposed drive-through configuration would improve traffic and
pedestrian safety compared to the existing location, with traffic engineering staff supporting the
design.
Lauren Grodnicki spoke about vehicle emissions, air quality, and the environmental impacts of drive-
through operations, due to the site’s proximity to residential properties.

Imran Shah opposed the proposal, said the Village should prioritize long-term community planning,
including healthier businesses, local development, and affordable housing options.
Trustee Schechter had concerns that the zoning change conflicts with the Village’s mixed-use and
sustainability goals for the corridor.
Trustee Iverson acknowledged the concerns and appreciation for the Panjwani family’s longstanding
investment and business presence in the community.

said operations would be appointment-based with pickup and drop-off services to help manage
limited parking.
Trustee Schechter asked if the petitioners had conducted a market analysis regarding similar

Call meeting to order and roll call
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Tennes.
Roll Call: Trustees Pure Slovin, Schechter, Kimani Levy, Iverson, Lissa Levy and Mayor Tennes.
Trustee Robinson was absent.
Mayor Tennes made a statement addressing a pattern of antisemitic incidents that had occurred
in Skokie parks in recent weeks. Mayor Tennes said that in the last two weeks, three incidents
had taken place in Skokie parks involving youth using antisemitic language, two of those
incidents had escalated into physical altercations. The Village, Police Department, and Skokie
Park District are coordinating response and accountability efforts and reaffirmed their
commitment to ensuring all residents feel safe and respected.
Actions underway include launching a community-wide campaign promoting kindness and
upstander behavior, training, increasing police presence in parks, exploring the use of park
cameras (without audio capability, per state law), providing antisemitism and incident-response
training for park and summer staff, coordinating efforts with schools, faith leaders, and
community organizations, continuing to track hate crimes and bias incidents, and exploring
positive youth engagement initiatives such as a community wide basketball tournament. Mayor
Tennes said hate has no place in Skokie.
Trustee Pure Slovin supported the Mayor’s remarks. Trustee Pure Slovin asked residents not to
spread rumors and said that the Village has been actively engaging commissioners, staff, and
faith leaders. Trustee Pure Slovin also thanked the Mayor, Chief of Police, Village Manager, and
the Human Relations Commission for taking the incidents seriously and advancing actions.
Trustee Schechter supported the Mayor and Trustee Pure Slovin, and their roles as liaisons to
the Human Relations Commission. Trustee Schechter reported efforts to identify facilitators for
training on Jewish history in Skokie and antisemitism prevention, and emphasized the need to
address discrimination across all populations and a community-wide approach.

f. Recommendation for proposed Rules of Public Comment and Code of Conduct for Elected
and Appointed Officials at Public Meetings. Item F is on the agenda for first reading. The second
reading will be presented on May 18, 2026 for adoption.
Corporation Counsel Elrod introduced two proposed policies for first reading, developed at the
Board’s direction following prior Committee-of-the-Whole discussion.
The first policy establishes rules for public comment to all Village bodies for orderly and efficient
meetings. The policy codifies the current practice of public comment at the beginning (up to 30
minutes) and end (up to 15 minutes) of meetings, with a uniform three-minute limit per speaker.
It clarifies that public comment is not a dialogue with the Board and outlines additional
provisions, including no audiovisual presentations, addressing members by title, and
expectations for respectful conduct free from hate or harassment. It also prohibits disruptive,
threatening, or obscene conduct.
The second policy is a Code of Conduct for elected and appointed officials, applicable to Board
and commission members. Corporation Counsel Elrod said it requires members to act with
honesty, dignity, civility, and professionalism, and to treat fellow members, staff, and the public
with respect.
Lauren Grodnicki spoke about concerns of no audiovisual presentations during public comment
and about limited speakers on high-interest items.
David Dalka spoke about service standards for resident follow-up, unresolved infrastructure
concerns, and supported allowing audiovisual materials during public comment.
Shelly Patt thanked the board for the structure of public comment, concerns about limited
speakers on issues, public comments, and supported the ability to extend comment time.
Imran Shah objected to restrictions on visual displays, concerns about fairness, transparency,
and free expression.
Corporation Counsel Elrod clarified public comment rules apply to non-agenda items and the
Mayor has discretion to expand public comment on agenda items. These items will return for
second reading with an enabling ordinance and companion resolutions.

Plan Commission Case 2026-02P – Site Plan Approval: 7120 Laramie Avenue.
Community Development Director Nyden presented a request from Hillel Torah North Suburban
Day School for site plan approval with relief for improvements at 7120 Laramie Avenue, noting
staff and Planning Commission recommend approval.
Director Nyden outlined the proposed 2,485-square-foot addition, façade improvements,
landscaping, courtyard closures, and parking lot restriping, aimed at enhancing safety,
operations, and aesthetics, including a secure entrance and centralized reception. Parking and
circulation will remain unchanged. Director Nyden reported two relief requests: increased
impermeable surface coverage to 68 percent (from 50 percent required), representing a minimal

Monday, May 4, 2026
increase over existing conditions, and reduced bicycle parking (8 spaces proposed vs. 35
required). Director Nyden said the Planning Commission recommended approval (8–0) and the
Appearance Commission issued a certificate of appropriateness.
Trustee Schechter asked about the 50% impermeable surface standard and variance history.
Director Nyden said the standard is typical for residential districts, many non-conforming
properties exist in Skokie, and the proposal does not significantly increase existing coverage.
Mayor Tennes encouraged the use of native plantings for stormwater management, and
Director Nyden said staff would work with the petitioner. Trustee Iverson asked about
neighboring lot coverage and the reduced bicycle parking request.
Applicants Stuart Brodsky and Jennifer Slasky of White and Company Architects said the reduced
bicycle parking reflects limited demand from students and confirmed native plantings are
included in the landscape plan.
Lauren Grodnicki spoke about use of permeable paving, rain gardens and supported the
reduced bicycle parking request.
Motion to concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission for Plan Commission
Case 2026-02P, Site Plan Approval for 7120 Laramie Avenue subject to all conditions.

SUBJECT: Manager’s Report
Board Meeting of Monday, May 18, 2026
A. Retail Enhancement Grant for 5013-5019 Oakton Street – Dewey’s Barbeque.
Dewey’s Barbeque restaurant is slated to occupy 5017 (the former Rich’s Britches) and 5019
Oakton Street. The restaurant will revive the legacy of the family’s Spare Rib BBQ Pit that opened
in Greenville, Texas from 1951-2004. The restaurant is being opened by the buyer of the building,
Robert Fitzpatrick. 5017 Oakton will be the sit-down restaurant area with the 5019 Oakton space
now connected and serving as a take-out counter. The vacant space at 5013 Oakton will be
rehabbed to a white-box condition for a new retail tenant. Eagle Hair Care located in the 5015
space will remain. Mr. Fitzpatrick will be completing a full build out of the 5013 and 5017/5019
space including flooring, dry wall and framing, paint, full electrical, plumbing, HVAC, sprinkler and
fire alarm, security system, insulation, carpentry, façade and ADA bathrooms. In addition to the
purchase price of the building, the construction cost for the interior and exterior rehabilitation
of the property is estimated at more than $800,000.
Staff recommends that the Village Board approve a Retail Enhancement Program Grant
estimated at a not to exceed figure of $75,000 for buildout of 5013, 5017 and 5019 Oakton Street
as the new home of Dewey’s Barbeque restaurant and one other future retail tenant. Grant funds
will be transferred on a rebate basis following completion of all work, proof of payment to all
contactors and actual operation of the new business. I concur with staff’s recommendation and
respectfully request Board approval.
B. Adoption of FY2027 Budget.
The attached memorandum is a summary of actions and decisions made by the Mayor and Board
of Trustees during their review of the FY2027 Budget. These actions are the result of four public
hearings conducted by the Board in April.
In summary, the FY2027 General Fund Budget, or operating budget, equates to $78,260,937. All
funds, including Water, Pension, Economic Development, Motor Fuel and Local Fuel Tax, Self-
Insurance, General Obligation Bonded Debt, Tax Increment Financing, Federal Aid, Performing

Arts Center, Convention and Visitors Bureau, Special Service Areas, Wireless Alarms and Capital
Improvement Program total $194,893,846.
Board approval of the FY2027 Budget is respectfully requested.
C. Amusement Surcharge Rate Increase and Extension to Streaming.
The Village implemented the amusement surcharge in September of 2019 in an effort to diversify
our revenue sources. The rate was imposed and remains at 2% and applies generally to all
amusement as broadly defined by state statues to include exhibitions and performances for
entertainment purposes. The amusement surcharge was not originally imposed on any digitally
derived amusement or entertainment. The Village has experienced a noticeable reduction in
franchise fees over the past years; FY25 was more than $300,000 less that 10 years prior, with
annual decline averaging 3%. The proposal to enhance ambulance transportation services by
adding a fourth ambulance and implementation of enhanced permitting and inspection services
are estimated to cost $1,065,000 in FY27 and beyond. In order to generate sufficient revenue to
cover the proposed enhancements, staff is recommending a 5% amusement surcharge applicable
to both in-person amusements and streaming services. For the average household with monthly
subscriptions of $60, the impact would be a $3 per month. This action helps fund the Village
Board Strategic Plan initiative regarding a fourth ambulance, permit code enhancements and
diversifying the Village’s revenue stream. I concur with staff’s recommendation and respectfully
request the Village Board consider the amendment and direct Corporation Counsel to draft the
appropriate ordinance. The ordinance will be brought before the Board at the June 1 meeting for
second reading and adoption.
D. *Fire Aerial Apparatus Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with Wilmette.
An Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) between the Village of Skokie and Village of Wilmette
has been created for a fire aerial apparatus that was going to be decommissioned by the Village
of Skokie. This reserve aerial apparatus was originally acquired from the Northbrook Fire
Department and has reached the end of its useful service life within the Village of Skokie. With
current fire apparatus manufacture lead times for new fire aerial apparatus of over four years,
this agreement helps ensure the Village of Skokie and the Skokie Fire Department maintain
adequate aerial coverage without placing additional financial burden on the Village of Skokie.
Under the terms of the IGA, ownership of the apparatus will be transferred to the Village of
Wilmette. In exchange, the Village of Wilmette will assume all future service, maintenance and
repair costs for the unit. The IGA allows the Village of Skokie and Skokie Fire Department to utilize
the apparatus in the event a fire aerial apparatus becomes needed within the Village of Skokie. I
concur with staff’s recommendation and respectfully request Board approval of a Resolution
approving and authorizing an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Wilmette
pertaining to the transfer of a fire ladder truck.
E. *Village Hall, Fire Stations 16 & 18 Roof Rehabilitation – DCG Roofing Solutions Inc., Melrose
Park, Illinois - $883,495.
The Capital Improvement Program Budget (CIP) contains funding for the re-roofing of Village Hall,
Fire Station 16 and Fire Station 18. All the roof locations are well beyond their useful life. In the
#639710
Return to Agenda
case of Village Hall and Fire Station 16, the roof systems have failed which is causing leaks in
numerous locations. Three bids were received and it is recommended that a contract be awarded
to DCG Roofing Solutions Inc., the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. I concur with staff’s
recommendation and respectfully request Board approval and acceptance of the proposal
submitted by DCG Roofing Solutions Inc. for the re-roofing of Village Hall, Fire Station 16 and Fire
Station 18 in the amount of $883,495 and authorization for the Village Manager to enter into a
contract for said services.
F. *Fuel System Upgrades – Stenstrom Petroleum Services Group, Rockford, Illinois - $179,920.
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains funding for fuel site upgrades. The upgrades
are necessary to bring the existing diesel fuel site at Public Works into compliance with Illinois
State Fire Marshall requirements, including the installation of spill containment sumps mandated
by October 13, 2028. This project will address the compliance and infrastructure issues while also
adding new fuel management equipment at the Public Works fuel site as well as the Laramie
Street fueling station. I concur with staff’s recommendation and respectfully request Board
approval and acceptance of the proposal submitted by Stenstrom Petroleum Services Group for
upgrading the existing Village fuel infrastructure in the amount of $179,920 and authorization for
the Village Manager to enter into a contract for said services.
G. *Commercial All-Risk Property / Cyber Liability Coverage Renewals – Gallagher/Affiliated FM
Insurance – Not to Exceed $105,385 and Great American Insurance Group - $31,564.
The Village of Skokie purchases commercial property coverage through Arthur J.
Gallagher/Affiliated FM Insurance which expires on June 1, 2026. The All-Risk property coverage
includes replacement value of all Village-owned buildings and contents, market value of the
Village fleet and business interruption of the significant malls within the Village. Despite upward
market trends, incumbent Affiliated FM Insurance Company quoted a 24 percent reduced
renewal rate of .0008347, which is due in part to he Village’s Total Insurable Values (TIV)
decreasing by 16% to $126,235,374, resulting in a 2027 premium for All-Risk property coverage
of $105,385. The Village sought to increase its full unrestricted cyber liability coverage for a
premium of $31,564 with a new carrier, Great American Insurance Group, this reflects a 36
percent premium reduction over last year. I concur with staff’s recommendation that a contract
be awarded to Gallagher/Affiliated FM in the amount of $105,385 for All-Risk property coverage
and Cyber Liability coverage with Great American Insurance Group in the amount of $31,564;
these are not to exceed amounts. Village Manager and Village Board approval is respectfully
requested.
H. *2026 Thermoplastic Pavement Marking Maintenance Contract – Superior Road Striping (dba
High Star Traffic), Bartlett, Illinois - $100,000.
The Village purchases thermoplastic pavement marking maintenance on an annual basis. Pricing
for thermoplastic pavement marking services was obtained through the Northwest Municipal
Conference’s joint bid procedure. The conference bids this contract once every three years and
reserves the right to extend the contract for up to three additional one-year terms upon mutual
agreement on a negotiated basis. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was Superior
Road Striping. I concur with staff’s recommendation and respectfully request Board approval and
acceptance of the proposal submitted by Superior Road Striping/High Star Traffic for

RETAIL ENHANCEMENT GRANT FOR 5013-5019 OAKTON – DEWEY’S BARBEQUE
Staff recommends Village Board approval of a Retail Enhancement Program Grant estimated at a
not to exceed figure of $75,000.00 for buildout of 5013, 5017 and 5019 Oakton Street as the new
home of Dewey’s Barbeque restaurant and one other future retail tenant. This buildout is the
result of the purchase of the building (5013-5019 Oakton) with the restaurant occupying the 5017
(the former Rich’s Britches) and 5019 spaces. The space at 5013 will be rehabbed for a new retail
tenant. Eagle Hair Care is located in the 5015 space and will remain. The restaurant is being opened
by the buyer of the building, Robert Fitzpatrick.
The new tenant/business at 5017 Oakton has requested financial assistance under the Village’s
Retail Enhancement Program to convert the current 5017 and 5019 space into a new
restaurant called Dewey’s Barbeque. The restaurant will revive the legacy of the family's Spare
Rib BBQ Pit that operated in Greenville, Texas, from 1951 -2004. This minority owned, veteran
owned business will leverage cherished family recipes and BBQ preparation techniques to
establish a premier BBQ restaurant in Skokie, Illinois. The goal is to become one of the top BBQ
destinations in the nation, offering an unparalleled dining experience. They will compete on
taste delivered with world class service. Their custom-designed hickory wood burning BBQ pit
will transform quality meats into the most tender meat with a hickory wood flavor one can
taste all the way to the bone. The BBQ pit, will have a design that has its roots deep in the heart
of “old” North East Texas and will be unlike any other in the country allowing them to deliver a
unique quality and taste of Bar-Be-Que unlike any other in the country, nicknamed “Texas
Tradition”. 5017 will be the sit-down restaurant area with the 5019 space now connected and
serving as a take-out counter. The entire building façade will be redone as part of this project.
The vacant space at 5013 Oakton will be rehabbed to a white-box condition for a new retail
tenant.
Mr. Fitzpatrick will be completing a full build out of the 5013 and 5017/5019 space including
flooring, dry wall and framing, paint, full electrical, plumbing, HVAC, sprinkler and fire alarm,
security system, insulation, carpentry, paint, trim, facade and ADA bathrooms. In addition to
the purchase price of the building, the construction cost for the interior and exterior
rehabilitation of the property is estimated at more than $800,000. The grant being requested is
#637590
Return to Mgr Rpt
to provide up to $75,000.00 to Mr. Fitzpatrick and Dewey’s Barbeque restaurant for eligible
costs associated with the interior and exterior rehab of the property.
All grant funds will be subject to any further planning, permitting and/or certificate of occupancy
approvals required by the Village. Grant funds will be transferred on a rebate basis following
completion of all work, proof of payments to all contractors, and actual operation of the new
business. Proper documentation of payments to contractors or businesses for equipment
purchases must include copies of any contracts, invoices, canceled checks, and waivers-of-lien from
major contractors before any grant proceeds will be transferred.

The Library’s Board of Trustees approved a total budget for FY2027 of $19,085,265.
II. REVENUES
The final revenue estimates for FY2027 are sufficient to cover operational and capital
expenditures with few exceptions of planned fund balance utilization. General Fund revenues are
estimated at $78,315,602. The FY2027 Budget includes revenue projected from an amended
local amusement surcharge as well applicable to streaming services, in order to fund proposed
ambulance and permitting and inspections services enhancements.
Water Fund revenues total $26,093,581, of which $2,764,635 is planned utilization of reserves.
During the budget hearings a water rate increase of $1.14 per 100 cubic feet was proposed
($11.39 increase to minimum bill). Even with the increase, water fund revenues are not sufficient
to cover operational and capital planned expenditures, necessitating the planned reserve
utilization. The Village’s water rate remains very competitive among area communities even
with the increase.
General revenues allocated to the Capital Improvements Program are estimated at $11,055,801,
inclusive of $350,000 in fund balance utilization for fleet replacements. In total, revenue
estimates for the CIP total $44,768,651, with $33,712,850 committed to capital projects by other
funds like MFT, LFT, EDF, TIF, etc. Funding for public pensions in total is estimated at
$35,061,360, inclusive of both employer and employee contributions as well as expected
investment returns. Of this total, the Village’s funding toward the actuarily required contribution
(necessary to meet the Village’s obligations for Fire, Police, and IMRF pensions) is anticipated
at $10,915,189, significantly reduced from the prior years, thanks to the issuance of Pension
Obligation Bonds in early 2022. This amount also includes $1,245,000 of strategic utilization of
the Pension Stabilization Fund in order to remain current with the overall unfunded pension
liabilities. Revenue allocated to the repayment of debt, which includes the repayment of the
Pension Obligation Bonds, is allocated at $17,617,877, a slight increase from the prior year. As
the Village also services debt issued by the Skokie Public Library, this amount includes
intergovernmental revenues of $1,201,300.
Revenue estimates for all three of the Village’s TIFs are $7,071,522, of which $4,283,629 are
planned transfers to the repayment of debt. Revenue for self-insurance operations and claims is
estimated at $3,706,324. Revenue estimates from all other remaining funds total $8,367,122,
which includes $1,411,543 in planned utilization of fund balance. Included in other funds are
revenues earmarked for specific purposes, like federal aid, economic development, fuel taxes,
performing arts, wireless alarms, the new housing fund, etc.

Amusement Surcharge Rate Increase and Extension to Streaming
During the FY2027 budget hearings held in late April, the Village Board considered a proposal to
enhance ambulance transportation services by adding a fourth ambulance during certain high
demand hours. In addition, the Board considered the implementation of certain recommendations
from the recently completed Matrix Consulting Group’s review of permitting and inspection
services. The Board supported implementing both recommendations, as well as sourcing additional
revenue to fund them, through an increase and amendment to the amusement surcharge by making it
applicable to streaming services. This memorandum provides the necessary background and
recommendation for this amendment.
Background
The Village implemented the amusement surcharge in September of 2019 in an effort to diversify
our revenue sources. The rate was imposed and remains at 2%, and applies generally to all
amusement as broadly defined by state statutes to include exhibitions and performances for
entertainment purposes (i.e. theatrical, dramatic, musical or spectacular), motion picture
shows, promotional shows, circus or animal act shows, athletic contests to include team or
individual sports, entertainment activities offered to the public for a membership fee like
carnivals, amusement park rides and games, bowling, billiards, etc. As a reminder, these types
of events fall under services for sales tax purposes and are not, as such, subject to retail sales taxes.
The amusement surcharge was not originally imposed on any digitally derived amusement or
entertainment. At the time the concept was fairly new and not fully tested in the courts. Fast forward
to today, “streaming taxes” are becoming more and more common across the nation and have
survived several legal challenges (i.e. Chicago prevailed against a Netflix challenge in 2022). In our
region Chicago, Evanston, and East Dundee have maintained ordinances for several years;
Arlington Heights, Riverside, and Wheeling have implemented new ordinances effective in 2026.
Streaming services in general have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years at the expense of
traditional cable subscriptions. Traditional cable providers are required either by state law or local
ordinances to enter into franchise agreements which allow municipalities to collect up to a 5% fee
for public benefit (in Skokie’s case to fund public services). The Village has experienced a
noticeable reduction in franchise fees over the past years; FY25 was more than $300,000 less than
10 years prior, with the annual decline averaging 3%. Meanwhile recent data by non-profit research
groups estimates that 83% of U.S. adults and nearly 91% of all households subscribe to at least one
streaming service, with the nationwide average monthly cost approaching $60 (higher in more
densely populated regions).
Recommendation
The aforementioned ambulance and permitting and inspection services enhancement are estimated
to cost $1,065,000 in FY27 and beyond. To fund these proposed enhancements staff recommended
550049v4
Return to Mgr Rpt
during the budget hearings an increase in the Village’s amusement surcharge as well extending the
surcharge to streaming services. The Village’s current rate of 2% is one of the lowest among area
communities, the average of which is 5.38%:
Municipality Tax Rate
Arlington 5%
Heights
Bensenville 5%
Chicago 9% (10.25% Streaming)
Evanston 7% (5% Streaming)
East Dundee 5% (5% Streaming)
Gurnee 4%
Hoffman 6%
Estates
Lincolnshire 4%
Lombard 5%
Niles 3%
Norridge 9%
Northbrook $.25 per ticket
Oakbrook 5%
Terrace
Riverside N/A (5% Streaming)
Rosemont 6%
Schaumburg 5%
South $.45 per ticket
Barrington
Vernon Hills 4%
Wheeling 4% (4% streaming)
Average 5.38%
In order to generate sufficient revenue to cover the proposed enhancements, staff is recommending a
5% amusement surcharge applicable to both in-person amusements and streaming services. The 5%
rate is just below the area average, and of the five communities with a streaming tax, four are at 5%
or higher. I should also note that this revenue source was specifically discussed during the strategic
plan process as a means to reduce our reliance on state-shared revenues (i.e. sales taxes), keep up
with the digital economy, and further diversify our revenue portfolio – a key initiative under the
Financial Stewardship goals of the strategic plan.
A unified 5% rate would also mean parity between in-person amusements (movie theaters, live
performances, etc.) and the streaming of the same or similar. In total approximately $1,066,089 is
estimated at the 5% rate during FY27. For the average household with monthly subscriptions of $60,
the impact would be $3 per month, or $36 per year.
Subject to your approval, I respectfully request the Village Board consider the amendment at the May
18th meeting, and direct the Corporation Counsel to draft the appropriate ordinance. The ordinance
would return for adoption at the June 1 meeting. An August 1 effective date is currently contemplated
in order to provide sufficient notice to providers.

Fire Department
TO: John Lockerby, Village Manager
FROM: Nicholas Eschner, Fire Chief
DATE: May 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Fire Aerial Apparatus Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with Wilmette
An Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) between the Village of Skokie and Village of Wilmette
has been created for a fire aerial apparatus that was going to be decommissioned by the Village
of Skokie.
This reserve aerial apparatus was originally acquired from the Northbrook Fire Department and
has reached the end of its useful service life within the Village of Skokie. However, due to
extended manufacturing lead times of over four years, there is reason to maintain an additional
reserve fire aerial apparatus and this IGA allows the Village of Skokie to do that with no service,
maintenance or repair costs, while providing a reserve aerial apparatus to the Village of
Wilmette.
Under the terms of the IGA, ownership of the apparatus will be transferred to the Village of
Wilmette. In exchange, the Village of Wilmette will assume all future service, maintenance and
repair costs for the unit. The IGA allows the Village of Skokie and Skokie Fire Department to
utilize the apparatus in the event a fire aerial apparatus becomes needed within the Village of
Skokie.
This IGA is important for the Village of Skokie and the Skokie Fire Department because it
provides an important layer of operational protection in the event of catastrophic failure or
damage to one of the Skokie Fire Department’s primary aerial apparatus. With current fire
apparatus manufacture lead times for new fire aerial apparatus of over four years, this
agreement helps ensure the Village of Skokie and the Skokie Fire Department maintain
adequate aerial coverage without placing additional financial burden on the Village of Skokie.

SUBJECT: Village Hall, Fire Stations 16 & 18 Roof Rehabilitation – Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
Staff hereby requests the Village Board of Trustees’ approval and acceptance of the proposal
submitted by DCG Roofing Solutions Inc. for the re-roofing of Village Hall, Fire Station 16 and
Fire Station 18 in the amount of $883,495.00, and authorization for the Village Manager to enter
into a contract for said services.
BACKGROUND
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains funding for the re-roofing of the three
facilities referenced above. All the roof locations are well beyond their useful life. In the case of
Village Hall and Fire Station 16, the roof systems have failed which is causing leaks in numerous
locations of both buildings.
Bids for the above referenced projects were advertised and publicly opened on April 29, 2026.
As a result of this solicitation, three (3) bid responses were received:
DCG Roofing Solutions Inc., Melrose Park, IL. $ 883,495.00
L. Marshall Roofing Inc., Glenview, IL. $ 927,000.00

Total: $884,000
COMMENTS
The Fire Station 16 roof consists primarily of two main flat roof areas separated by a brick
masonry wall and an attached garage with a steep slope shingle roof assembly. The Fire Station
18 roof consists of seven main roof areas separated by brick masonry walls. The existing roof
assemblies will be removed down to the deck and new modified bitumen roof assemblies will be
installed. All vents, ducts and piping will be raised and reset to accommodate the new insulation

and roofing materials. New wood blocking will be installed at the curbs, penetrations, expansion
joints and perimeter edges to accommodate new tapered insulation and minimum flashing height
requirements.
Village Hall is divided into three separate roof sections, with flat roof membrane areas towards
the centers and steep sloped shingles around the perimeters. The flat roof portions of the rehab
include removal of the existing assembly down to the deck and installation of new modified
bitumen roof assembly, and the shingled areas include removal and replacement of shingle
assemblies. All deteriorated sheathing/framing will be replaced. The roof modifications
necessitated by the installation of new HVAC equipment will be repaired and sealed. Gutters
will be readjusted and new downspouts will be installed.
It is anticipated that the project will commence with Village Hall at the end of August with
completion at the end of September. Fire Station 16 work will begin the last week of September
and be completed by October 9, and immediately followed by work on Fire Station 18 for a
duration of two weeks.

infrastructure in the amount of $179,920.00, and authorization for the Village Manager to enter

BACKGROUND
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains funding for fuel site upgrades. The upgrades
are necessary to bring the existing diesel fuel site at Public Works into compliance with Illinois
State Fire Marshall requirements, including the installation of spill containment sumps mandated
by October 13th, 2028. The current site does not have the required containment sumps and the
existing concrete has deteriorated, allowing water to enter the fuel tank. This project will
address the compliance and infrastructure issues while also adding new fuel management
equipment at the Public Works fuel site as well as the Laramie St. fueling station.

Memorandum
Risk Management Division
TO: John T. Lockerby, Village Manager
FROM: Nicholas Wyatt, Assistant Village Manager
DATE: May 8, 2026
SUBJECT: Commercial All-Risk Property / Cyber Liability Coverage Renewals
Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 – Agenda Item
BACKGROUND
The Village of Skokie purchases commercial property coverage through Gallagher / Affiliated
FM Insurance Company, which expires June 1, 2026. The All-Risk property coverage includes
replacement value of all Village-owned buildings and contents and business interruption at
three significant retail areas within the Village.
The overall property insurance marketplace has become more favorable in 2026 although there
are key drivers adversely impacting the commercial market. Inflation plays a large role given the
rising costs of construction materials and labor, financial market uncertainty, as well as
catastrophic losses from severe weather events, including wind, hail, water and flood damage in
the Midwest. Despite upward market trends, incumbent Affiliated FM Insurance Company
quoted a 24 percent reduced renewal rate of $0.0008347—which is due in part to the Village’s
Total Insurable Values (TIV) decreasing by 16% to $126,235,374, resulting in a 2027 premium for
All-Risk property coverage of $105,385.
In previous years, the Village has purchased cyber liability coverage with aggregate limits of
$2,000,000. Cyber liability continues to be a difficult line of coverage for public sector entities.
Cyber coverage has become increasingly expensive in both the public and private sectors as bad
actors are consistently targeting organizations of all sizes and across all industries. Carriers
require public sector buyers to demonstrate that they have best-in-class mitigations in place,
such as Multi-Factor Authentication for remote access, encrypted cloud-based backup, staff
training to prevent clicking on phishing emails and other loss-prevention measures—the Village’s
IT Department has worked diligently to ensure these robust IT mitigation measures are in place.
Yet, despite the Village’s proactive approach to mitigating the risks associated with cyber threats,
the evolving nature of cyber threats and the increasing frequency and severity of ransomware
attacks continue to pose a risk. As a result, the Village sought to increase its cyber liability
coverage for FY27, and as such, the Village secured full unrestricted cyber coverage of $3,000,000
for a premium of $31,564 with a new carrier, Great American Insurance Group; this reflects a 36
percent premium reduction over last year. Given current market conditions, obtaining a 36
#639746
Return to Mgr Rpt
percent premium reduction while increasing the Village’s cyber liability coverage to $3,000,000,
speaks highly of the IT mitigation measures that Skokie has demonstrated are in place.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that commercial All-Risk property coverage be placed with Affiliated FM
Insurance, for coverage period of June 1, 2026 to June 1, 2027, at a premium of $105,385.
Additionally, it is recommended that cyber liability coverage be placed with Great American
Insurance Group for coverage period of June 1, 2026 – June 1, 2027, at a premium of $31,564.
In total, an amount not to exceed $136,949 is requested for both the property and cyber
liability coverage for FY27. Funds are budgeted in FY27 to cover these expenditures. Village
Manager and Village Board approval is respectfully requested.

2026 Thermoplastic Pavement Marking Maintenance Contract
RECOMMENDATION
Staff hereby requests the Village Board of Trustees' approval and acceptance of the proposal
submitted by Superior Road Striping/High Star Traffic for Thermoplastic Pavement Marking in
the amount not to exceed $100,000, and authorization for the Village Manager to enter into a
contract for said services. The exact amount will be calculated per the established unit prices for
the final field measured quantities of the determined work performed.
BACKGROUND
The Village provides Thermoplastic Pavement Marking Maintenance on an annual basis. Pricing
for Thermoplastic Pavement Marking has been obtained through the Northwest Municipal
Conference's joint purchasing contract for thermoplastic pavement marking. The conference bids
this contract once every three years and reserves the right to extend the contract for up to (3)
three additional one-year terms upon mutual agreement on a negotiated basis. The lowest
responsive and responsible bidder was Superior Road Striping (dba High Star Traffic) of
Bartlett, Illinois. The contract is effective from April 12, 2026, through April 11, 2027.
BUDGET & ACCOUNT:
Budget and Account FY 2027: $100,000 020-6000-407.07-32
COMMENTS
The Village can take advantage of a more competitive bid participating in the joint contract than
by bidding on this type of work, alone. The Village however, must use non-MFT money to
participate in this contract.
In addition, the Village of Skokie has had a positive experience working with Superior Road
Striping in the past on other projects in the Village.

established to promote and protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of

atmosphere within which the business of the Village can be conducted.
The Village recognizes and appreciates that there will inevitably be divergent opinions and
disagreements among members of the Village's boards and commissions. This Code of
Conduct is intended to foster a culture of respect among elected and appointed officials,
Village staff, and members of the public, and to promote public confidence in Village
governance, even in the face of disagreement.
All public meetings must be conducted in accordance with the Illinois Open Meetings Act,
these protocols, and such additiona!, non-conflicting rules and regulations that may, from

Memorandum
Community Development Department
TO: Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees
FROM: Paul Luke, Chairman
Skokie Plan Commission
DATE: March 30, 2026
SUBJECT: CASE 2026-01M – A REQUEST BY THE PNC FINANCIAL SERICES GROUP AT 5033
DEMPSTER STREET FOR THE FULL REPEAL AND REPLACEMENT OF SPECIAL USE
PERMIT ORDINANCE 03-6-Z-3176 THROUGH THE MODIFIED REVIEW
PROCEDURE
Staff recommends that the request by The PNC Financial Services Group to repeal Special Use
Permit Ordinance No. 03-6-Z-3176 in order to modify the site plan and landscape plan at 5033
Dempster Street be approved through the modified review procedure.
In accordance with the Village Code, Corporation Counsel, the Plan Commission Chair, and the
Community Development Director reviewed the request and determined that the proposed
modifications are in substantial compliance with the intent of the original special use permit
ordinance.
Code Information
Under the provisions of Section 118-8(c), certain amendments to special use permits and site
plan approvals may be eligible to bypass the Plan Commission and be heard directly by the
Village Board.
Summary:
The Village received a request from The PNC Financial Services Group, for the bank use located
at 5033 Dempster Street, to repeal and replace Special Use Permit Ordinance No. 03-6-Z-3176
through the modified review procedure. The request involves the continuation of the existing
bank use, with modifications to the approved site plan and landscape plan, including the
removal of the auxiliary parking lot (identified as the “lot at Le Claire Avenue”) from the
ordinance.
The previous modified review case (Case No. 84-14P) associated with the existing ordinance
involved the previous owner, Mid America Bank, requesting minor amendments to update site
circulation and operational conditions. These changes included restoring a counterclockwise
drive-through circulation pattern, adding one ATM to an existing teller lane, removing
previously approved but unbuilt ATMs from the secondary parking lot, and permitting second-

floor office tenants due to adequate parking supply. Staff found those modifications acceptable,
noting improved circulation and sufficient parking, and raised no objections at that time.
The current request primarily involves separating the auxiliary parking lot at Le Claire Avenue
from the subject property through a revised ordinance. This will require a full repeal and
replacement of the existing ordinance to reflect current property conditions. Updated materials
have been provided and reviewed, including a revised site plan demonstrating compliant
accessible parking, an updated landscape plan reflecting existing conditions, and a current plat
of survey limited to the subject property.
Additional updates include correcting ordinance language related to parking use, revising the
legal description and PIN to reflect the current subdivision, and addressing accessibility
compliance items such as required signage and stall dimensions. No additional physical
modifications to the building or site are proposed at this time.
Legal Notice
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.
Staff Recommendation
Staff has reviewed the requested modification to the special use permit ordinance and has no
objections. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the petitioner’s request to amend Special
Use Permit Ordinance No. 03-6-Z-3176 to modify the site plan at 5033 Dempster Street.
It is further recommended that Ordinance No. 03-6-Z-3176 be repealed and replaced with a
new ordinance incorporating all applicable and updated conditions.
Recommended conditions are included in attachment number 1 with new language highlighted
and in bold print and language to be deleted highlighted and stricken through.

Memorandum
Community Development Department
TO: Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees
FROM: Paul Luke, Chairman
Skokie Plan Commission
DATE: May 18, 2026
SUBJECT: CASE 2026-03M – A REQUEST FROM 4820 & 4901, LTD, ON BEHALF OF
PICKLEDILLY LLC, AT 4919 MAIN STREET FOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXISTING
SPECIAL USE PERMIT ORDINANCE 24-9-Z-4713 THROUGH THE MODIFIED
REVIEW PROCEDURE
Staff recommends approval of the request by Pickledilly, LLC to amend Special Use Permit
Ordinance No. 24-9-Z-4713, in order to modify the approved floor plan and site plan to allow
for the expansion of Pickledilly LLC, through the modified review procedure.
In accordance with the Village Code, Corporation Counsel, the Plan Commission Chair, and the
Community Development Director have reviewed the request and determined that the
proposed modifications are in substantial conformance with the intent and provisions of the
original special use permit ordinance.
Code Information
Under the provisions of Section 118-8(c), certain amendments to special use permits and site
plan approvals may be eligible to bypass the Plan Commission and be heard directly by the
Village Board.
Summary
The Village has received a request from Pickledilly, LLC for the property located at 4919 Main
Street to amend Special Use Permit Ordinance No. 24-9-Z-4713 through the modified review
procedure. The request seeks approval to continue operation of the existing indoor recreation
facility, with modifications to the previously approved floor plan and site plan, including
expansion into the adjacent tenant space at 4913 Main Street.
The original special use approval (Case No. 2024-19P) authorized the establishment of an
indoor pickleball facility within an approximately 24,500 square foot vacant warehouse. The
approved plan included eleven (11) full-size courts, one (1) half-court training area, and on-site
parking. At that time, staff found the proposal acceptable, citing adequate parking and the
adaptive reuse of a vacant industrial building, and raised no objections.
VOSDOCS-#639693-v1-Modified_Review_2026-03M_-_4919_Main_Street
Return to top of 3M
The current request primarily involves an expansion of the indoor recreation facility into the
adjacent 4913 Main Street tenant space, resulting in a +/- 15,000 square foot increase in floor
area. The expansion would accommodate four (4) additional full-size pickleball courts, a turf
game area, restrooms, storage rooms, and seating areas.
Minor site plan modifications are also proposed, to reflect previously implemented field
changes to the shared parking area located directly south of 4919 Main Street. These changes
include adjustments to parking lot circulation and the actual location of ADA-accessible parking
spaces. The existing off-street parking supply is expected to adequately serve the expanded
facility, and staff acknowledge that the People Over Parking Act, which prohibits the
establishment of minimum parking requirements for new developments within a certain
distance of public transportation hubs and corridors, will become effective on June 1, 2026.
Additional updates to the ordinance include revisions to parking-related language and updates
to the recommended staff conditions. Relief previously approved as part of Case No. 2024-19P
regarding §118-233(e) permits the absence of required interior parking lot landscaping, where
one (1) tree is otherwise required for every fifteen (15) parking spaces, will be carried over to
the revised ordinance. No additional exterior building modifications or significant site changes
are proposed at this time.
Legal Notice
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.
Staff Recommendation
Staff has reviewed the requested modification to the special use permit ordinance and has no
objections. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the petitioner’s request to amend Special
Use Permit Ordinance No. 24-9-Z-4713 to modify the site and floor plan at 4919 Main Street.
It is further recommended that Ordinance No. 24-9-Z-4713 be repealed and replaced with a
new ordinance incorporating all applicable and updated conditions.
Recommended conditions are included in attachment number 1 with new language highlighted
and in bold print and language to be deleted highlighted and stricken through.

SUBJECT: CASE 2026-08P – A REQUEST BY KEVIN DIEP FOR A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
TO CHANGE THE ZONING DISTRICT FOR 4741 MAIN STREET FROM CX CORE
MIXED-USE TO B2 COMMERCIAL.
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND ANALYSIS
At the April 16, 2026, meeting of the Plan Commission, the request from Kevin Diep for a zoning
map amendment to change the zoning district for 4741 Main Street from CX Core Mixed-Use to
B2 Commercial was recommended as APPROVED, by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays, and 1 member
absent, subject to the attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.
The request includes the rezoning of the subject site from CX to B2 for consistency with the
proposed B2 zoning that is being requested for the proposed Dunkin’ at 8357 Skokie Boulevard
(case 2026-07P). The B2 zoning better reflects the transitional nature of the commercial
corridor along Skokie Boulevard between Madison Street and Main Street, which consists
primarily of shorter, lower-intensity, and lower-density uses, including legal non-conforming
automobile service establishments and a limited-service restaurant with a drive-through (also
legal non-conforming).
The Plan Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation to grant the zoning map
amendment.

LEGAL NOTICE AND PUBLIC COMMENT
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 one from the public spoke regarding
the case.

SUBJECT: CASE 2026-11P – A REQUEST BY HMAINT DETAILING STUDIO FOR A SPECIAL
USE PERMIT FOR AN AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT USE AT 8019
MONTICELLO AVENUE IN AN M2 LIGHT INDUSTRY DISTRICT.
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND ANALYSIS
At the May 7, 2026, Plan Commission meeting, the request from HMaint Detailing Studio for a
special use permit for a hand car wash use with accessory window tinting services in the M2
Light Industry zoning district was recommended as APPROVED by a vote of 7 ayes and 0 nays,
with 2 members absent.
The request includes the following:
• The operation of a full-service automotive repair facility with two (2) work bays, office
space, storage areas, washrooms, and a total of sixteen (16) shared off-street parking
spaces. The business intends to serve residents and small passenger vehicles, operating
with three (3) to four (4) employees and maintaining business hours from 9:00 AM to
7:00 PM daily.
• The Village zoning code would ordinarily require seven parking spaces for this type of
use. However, the property is eligible for parking relief under Section 118‑203, which
allows existing parking to remain compliant for buildings constructed prior to 1965. The
site currently provides 16 shared parking spaces, which staff considers adequate based
on the business’s planned operations and the existing parking agreements with other
tenants who utilize the shared lot. As a result, no parking relief is being requested as
part of this application.
One Commissioner inquired about the specific services permitted under the request. Staff
clarified that the petitioner would be limited to detailing services and window tinting only, and
that no other automotive maintenance or repair activities would be allowed. No additional
comments or questions were provided by the remaining Commissioners.
