Character of the Neighborhood: The proposed childcare center will enhance the neighborhood's family-friendly character by providing a valuable service to local residents. Childcare facilities are often viewed as community assets, supporting families and fostering a sense of connection. The center's design will align with the architectural and aesthetic standards of the area, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with surrounding properties. 2. Surrounding Property Values: The childcare center is expected to have a neutral or positive effect on surrounding property values. Childcare centers are considered desirable community amenities, attracting families and contributing to the overall appeal of the neighborhood. By maintaining high standards for landscaping, building maintenance, and curb appeal, the center will enhance the neighborhood's visual and functional quality. 3. Traffic Conditions: The proposed childcare center is not anticipated to have any adverse impact on current traffic conditions. The site benefits from an existing parking lot, ample street parking along Oakton Street, and a designated loading zone for childcare pick-up and drop-off on Kilpatrick Avenue. Additionally, the proximity of an existing childcare center across the street demonstrates the area’s capacity to accommodate such uses. To further mitigate potential traffic concerns, the center will implement measures such as designated door drop-off and pick-up procedures, as well as staggered school schedules to reduce congestion during peak times. The location was strategically chosen for its accessibility, ensuring minimal disruption to major thoroughfares and residential streets. 4. Public Utilities: The proposed childcare center will not overburden existing public utilities. The center’s operational needs for water, electricity, and waste disposal are within the capacity of current infrastructure. Energy-efficient practices and waste reduction strategies will be implemented to ensure sustainable utility use. 5. Storm Water Detention: Stormwater management for the site will comply with local regulations to prevent runoff issues. The facility will incorporate features such as permeable pavement, rain gardens, or retention basins as needed to manage stormwater effectively, protecting nearby properties and waterways. 6. Public Health, Safety, Morals, and General Welfare: The childcare center will promote public health and safety by providing a secure, nurturing environment for children. Safety features such as fencing, controlled access, and age-appropriate playgrounds will be included. The center also supports the general welfare by enabling parents to work or pursue education, contributing to the community's economic and social well-being. The presence of trained staff and adherence to state licensing requirements will ensure a high standard of care, reflecting the community's values. Supporting Reasons:  The center fills a critical need for accessible, quality childcare in the area.  Its design and operations align with local zoning and planning objectives.  The center incorporates inclusive and accessible features to accommodate children and families with diverse needs.  Community benefits include increased employment opportunities and support for working families. Mosaic Early Childhood: Business Operations Plan (4658 Oakton St., Skokie, IL 60076) At Mosaic Early Childhood, we believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive.

Figure 2: Aerial View of the Subject Site PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is proposing the construction of a 3-story, 33’ 2” building that exceeds the maximum 25’ permitted base building height to contain a religious assembly use and 17 dormitory units, along with surface parking at 7848 & 7852-7854 Lincoln Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district. With regard to the proposal, the petitioner explains that: DDMBA Chicago Chapter, a Buddhist organization, is a local chapter of DDMBA (web address: ddmbachicago.org, a US-based NGO (located in New York State) which aims to contribute to the well-being of humanity and the planet through its focus areas: youth leadership, interfaith dialogue, peace building, protecting the natural environment and disaster relief. DDMBA, in turn is the US branch of DDM Taiwan. The vision of DDM Taiwan is to uplift the character of humanity and to build a pure land on earth. DDMBA Chicago Chapter is a non-profit volunteer organization which derives its operational funds from public donations. All the board members and chapter members who operate this organization are volunteers and do not withdraw any funds from Chicago Chapter. We currently have around 200 members with 10 of them running most of the programs. DDMBA Chicago Chapter is currently renting a space (about 1500 SF) at 241 Holbrook Drive, Wheeling, IL 60090. Our current operations include classes and activities on site as described in the DDMBA Chicago Class spreadsheet, as well as online classes organized and zoomed by our chapter members and online classes organized and zoomed by DDMBA. We intend to transition all the online classes to onsite classes once the meditation/community/culture center is built as Covid-19 is easing and people are more comfortable with onsite classes and activities. As shown in the DDMBA Chicago Classes, 2nd revision, all these classes are to be held on weekdays from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm or weekends from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. These classes include Chan workshop, Book study, visiting teacher retreats, Tai Chi, Yoga, Dharma instrument, and Abbot visits. The VOSDOCS-#623651-v3-Combined_Staff_Report_7852_Lincoln_Avenue 3 of 14  number of participants for all these classes varies from 5 to 30 with most classes falling within 10 participants. The Abbot of DDM Taiwan will visit our local chapter once every two years. During the Abbot visit, we will hold one gathering with 100-150 attendees. As depicted in the site plan, we will have a total of 11 parking spaces with 9 open parking spaces, one garage site and one designated for handicapped. We also have signed a parking rental agreement with the Assyrian National Council of Illinois (7840 Lincoln Ave., Skokie, IL 60077) for their 15 parking spaces. In total, we have 26 parking spaces at our disposal of. In considering our parking space needs, please also keep in mind that our current site is accessible by public transportation. Therefore, some of our participants may come to our site by bus or train. And some of our participants may come to our site by bicycling. Therefore, the total parking spaces needed should be eased considerably. As mentioned above, we also anticipate a visit by our Abbot from DDM Taiwan once every two years. During the Abbot's visit, a gathering with about 100 to 150 participants will be held. This event will be held after working hours or on the weekend. The parking space need is also described and summarized in the revised parking study conducted by KLOA. In our architectural drawing, we have spaces designated as dormitories. However, its use is only limited to up to 4 times a year (2 nights each time, Friday, and Saturday night) when we have visiting teacher retreats. Our dormitory is meant for the meditation participants to stay during a visiting teacher retreat. The essence of meditation during retreat is to provide a serene environment for meditation participants. This requirement extends to the time beyond meditation session, i.e. include evening and nighttime. This is the main reason we opt to provide dormitory spaces for meditation participants. Please noted that we do have designated space on the third floor for maintenance equipment storage and laundry in the basement should our retreat participants have such need. The visiting teacher retreat involves lots of preparation in advance and concurrent staff support during the session. With our current core volunteer size, we at most will be able to support 6 retreats a year. We believe that the current 4 retreats a year will last for a while before we can offer 6 retreats a year. The VIP room as depicted in architectural drawing is to be used as lodging for the visiting teacher and our Abbot from Taiwan. This space is also used as a place for the Abbot and visiting teacher to meet guests and to receive students. We also need to emphasize that we do not hold routine religious assembly like Christian church. The Chan workshop, Sunday Chinese book study, Saturday Chinese book study and visiting teacher retreat are essentially our religious assemblies. All the classes and activities offered by DDMBA Chicago Chapter are open to the public. Most of the classes and activities are free with some having a very modest charge. It is the intention of DDMBA Chicago Chapter to offer the Dharma teaching, to care and to serve the community, and to integrate into the community. The petitioner organized an open community meeting with neighboring residents to discuss the proposed development. The meeting was held at the Skokie Public Library on December 19th, 2024 and served as a platform for the petitioner to present the project details and engage with the community by addressing any questions or concerns about the intended uses of the property. The dialogue facilitated a transparent exchange of information, aimed at fostering understanding and collaboration between VOSDOCS-#623651-v3-Combined_Staff_Report_7852_Lincoln_Avenue 4 of 14 the petitioner and the local community. A total of 8 neighboring residents attended the meeting and had the opportunity to voice their concerns. CASE 2024-30P The petitioner is requesting site plan approval in order to construct a 3-story, 33’ 2” tall building that exceeds the maximum 25’ permitted base building height but is less than the maximum building height of 45’ under site plan approval (§118-184(a)). No items of relief are being requested as part of the subject case. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for site plan approval to construct a 3- story, 33’ 2” tall building along with surface parking at 7848 & 7852-7854 Lincoln Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district be APPROVED, subject to the recommended conditions and attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact. As a matter of comparison, nearby building heights are as follows: 7840 Lincoln Avenue is 30’ 11¼”, Lincoln Junior High located at 7839 Lincoln Avenue is 44’ in height to the roofline and 57’ to the top of the clocktower, and Wintrust Bank at 7839 Lincoln Avenue is 35’. Figure 3: Wintrust Bank at 7800 Lincoln Avenue Figure 4: Lincoln Junior High at 7839 Lincoln Avenue Staff comments to be addressed are as follows: VOSDOCS-#623651-v3-Combined_Staff_Report_7852_Lincoln_Avenue 5 of 14  • Dedication for the alley off of Babb Avenue is required. Village Code Section 94- 6(5)(a) states that alleys shall be 20 ft wide when not in a single-family residential zoning district. The alley as proposed is 16 feet wide and will require a 4-foot dedication. Staff requests that the Mylar of the 4-foot dedication be submitted to the Village upon the passage of the ordinance by the Board of Trustees. CASE 2024-32P PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for religious assembly at 7852 Lincoln Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use zoning district. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for religious assembly at 7852 Lincoln Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use zoning district be APPROVED, subject to the attached Positive Findings of Fact. Five religious assembly uses operate within a ½ mile radius of the subject site and are as follows: Ethical Humanist Society at 7574 Lincoln Avenue, Devar Emet Messianic Synagogue at 7800 Niles Avenue, St. Paul Lutheran Church at 5201 Galitz Street, St. Peter’s United Church of Christ at 8013 Laramie Avenue, and Saints Peter and Lambert at 8116 Niles Center Road. A portion of the subject site was previously used for a religious assembly use. CASE 2024-34P PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for a dormitory use at 7852 Lincoln Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use zoning district. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request for a special use permit for a dormitory at 7852 Lincoln Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use zoning district be APPROVED, subject to the attached Positive Findings of Fact. The petitioner has represented that overnight accommodations are requested for the purposes of 1) a maximum of six (6) meditation retreats annually for up to 30 participants and 2) to accommodate the Abbot and ancillary staff during a visit approximately every two (2) years. Village Code §118-32 General definitions provides that “Dormitory means a rooming or boarding establishment that serves a specific group or membership, provides temporary accommodations, and may offer housekeeping, meals, and laundry services” and this use in Appendix A: Use Table most closely matches the use description provided by the applicant. VOSDOCS-#623651-v3-Combined_Staff_Report_7852_Lincoln_Avenue 6 of 14 CASE 2024-31P and 33P PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner (DDMBA Chicago Chapter) is requesting a parking determination for a religious assembly use with an accessory dormitory use at 7852 Lincoln Avenue in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district. Off-street parking requirements for the uses are determined by the Plan Commission. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Plan Commission determine the off-street parking requirement for the proposed DDMBA Chicago Chapter at 7852 Lincoln Avenue to be 13 vehicle parking spaces and 1 bicycle parking space. Staff’s parking analysis for the proposed use supports the requirement for the petitioner to make a financial contribution in lieu of providing off-street parking. During normal operations, DDMBA has a parking demand of 0.91 spaces per attendee. 11 off-street parking spaces and 4 bicycle parking spaces will be provided at 7852 Lincoln Avenue. With an expected maximum of 14 attendees, the number of parking spaces required in a typical week is 13 parking spaces. A variance or relief from providing required off-street motor vehicle parking is not permitted in the NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district. A payment shall be made to the Village for financial contribution in lieu of providing off-street parking for each deficient required parking space to be held in a reserve account to provide for the acquisition, erection, construction, or installation of public parking structures or lots within or adjacent to a mixed-use district. A contribution of $15,000 for each of the first 5 parking spaces requested and $24,000 for each additional parking space requested thereafter must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. In this case, a payment of $30,000 would be required in lieu of 2 parking spaces. Staff recommends that the Plan Commission determine the off-street parking requirement for the proposed DDMBA Chicago Chapter dormitory use at 7852 Lincoln Avenue to be 27 vehicle parking spaces and 1 bicycle parking space. The Association is also proposing to host small special events that will occur a maximum of 6 times annually. The purpose of the dormitory use is to provide a stay for these events. The expected maximum number of attendees is 30. With 30 attendees, 27 parking spaces are required using the ratio of 0.91 per attendee. The applicant has represented that they signed a rental agreement with the Assyrian National Council of Illinois located at 7840 Lincoln Avenue for 15 additional off-site parking spaces when the special events occur. In any occurrence that the lease agreement expires or is lost, additional off-street parking must be obtained to host these special events. The parking analysis worksheet is attached for your review. Staff reviewed the submitted parking study and agreed with the study’s analysis, which recommended that 27 spaces be required for the dormitory use at 7852 Lincoln. A total of 11 spaces are provided within the lot that DDMBA Chicago will occupy, with an additional 15 parking VOSDOCS-#623651-v3-Combined_Staff_Report_7852_Lincoln_Avenue 7 of 14 spaces being leased from the Assyrian National Council of Illinois to be utilized all day on weekends and after 5:30 P.M. on weekdays. The leasing hours are outside of the Assyrian National Council of Illinois’ normal hours of operation and therefore the off-site parking arrangement is acceptable to the Village. One of the 11 spaces on site will be required to be accessible. As is typical for large special events at various institutions throughout the Village, at a time when the applicant anticipates a large event of 100-150 attendees, an application for a Special Event Permit shall be made to and approved by the Village. APPEARANCE COMMISSION This item has not yet been reviewed by the Appearance Commission but will require a Certificate of Appropriateness awarded by the Appearance Commission prior to the hearing before the Board of Trustees due to the proposal involving the construction of a new building.

Based on a survey of the existing facility, the DDMBA has a parking demand of approximately 0.91 spaces per attendee. With an expected maximum of 14 attendees, the number of parking spaces required in a typical week is 13 parking spaces. 11 off-street parking spaces are provided. Since a variance or relief from providing required off- street motor vehicle parking is not permitted in this district, a payment shall be made to the Village, to be held in a reserve account to provide for the acquisition, erection, construction, or installation of public parking structures or lots within or adjacent to a mixed-use district, for each deficient required parking space. A contribution of $15,000 for each of the first 5 parking spaces requested and $24,000 for each additional parking space requested thereafter must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. In this case, a payment of $30,000 is required for 2 parking spaces. The facility is also proposing to host special events that will occur 4 times annually. The purpose of the dormitory use is to provide a stay for these events. The expected maximum number of attendees is 30. With 30 attendees, the expected number of parking needed is 27 when using the same ratio of 0.91 per attendee. The facility has leased 15 parking spaces from the Assyrian National Council of Illinois to be utilized all day on weekends and after 5:30 P.M. on weekdays. That sums up to a total of 26 off-street parking spaces. The site shall always have an additional parking lot to host these events that expect a higher parking demand than what the site can provide. In the event that the site needs to host larger events, the applicant shall apply for a special event permit. The event must have final approval from the Special Events Coordinator, the Village Manager’s Office and in some cases, the Village Board.  Aerial and Zoning Map - 7852 Lincoln Avenue Legend Zoning and Development Zoning CX: Core Mixed-use NX: Neighborhood Mixed-Use R4: Multifamily Housing TX: Transit Mixed-Use 0 150 300 Print Date: 12/18/2024 Notes ft Disclaimer: The GIS Consortium and MGP Inc. are not liable for any use, misuse, modification or disclosure of any map provided under applicable law.

This letter follows a previous email that was sent to you on behalf of concerned neighbors. While the initial communication highlighted various community issues, this letter further emphasizes the significant negative impacts we anticipate from the introduction of a dormitory in our neighborhood- I am deeply concerned that the dormrtory will disrupt our environment in the following ways: 1. Increased Crime and Public Disturbances While specrfic crime data may not be readily available for our neighborhood, studies and data from similar areas in Chicago—such as Edgebrook (ZIP code 60646), a residential neighborhood with no dormitories, compared to Lincoln Park (60614), an area known to have many dormitories—indicate that transient populations often lead to an increase in property crimes such as theft, vandalism, and robbery. Dormitories, in particular, tend to house temporary residents whose varying schedules and lifestyles can contribute to a rise in public disturbances, including noise complaints, late-night loitering, and alcohol- related incidents. Over time, these changes could erode the sense of safety that many families in our neighborhood currently enjoy. Crime rate data in the attached chart is based on recent reports from the respective ZIP codes, sourced from publicly available crime databases (CjiiLap^p L^tj Ppi taj) and I aggregated for comparison. 2. Traffic Congestion and Safety Hazards The addition of a dormitory would likely increase both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. This is particularly concerning given the proximity of school where children frequently walk or bike. The dormitory will introduce a higher risk of traffic accidents, which could endanger children and pedestrians. The influx of vehicles from both residents and visitors of the dormitory will also exacerbate parking issues, making it more difficult for current residents to find parking. 3. Decline in Property Values Numerous real estate studies show that dormitories can negatively affect property values in nearby residential areas. Prospective buyers may be deterred by the noise, congestion, and transient nature of a neighborhood dominated by temporary residents. As homeowners who have invested in this community, we are concerned that the introduction of a dormitory will make it harder to sell our homes in the future and that our property values will decrease as a result. 4. Erosion of Neighborhood Character Our neighborhood has long been a tight-knit, family-oriented community with a strong sense of continuity and care for our surroundings. The presence of a dormitory, which will house individuals with a much shorter commitment to the area/ will likely reduce the level of community investment that current residents share. Temporary residents are often less concerned with long-term maintenance and the well-being of the neighborhood, which could result in neglected properties^ more litter, and a general decline in the quality of fife. 5. Public Services Strain The influx of new residents in the dormitory will place additional strain on local pubtic services, including police, emergency services, and sanitation. These services are already stretched thin, and the additional demand could result in slower response times and reduced quality of service for current residents. The dormitory may also increase noise and disruption to the peace of the neighborhood^ which would require more frequent intervention from iocat authorities. Construction of a dormitory may also have environmental consequences, including increased pollution, noise, and the disruption of local green spaces and also tead to problems with water drainage, increased waste, and other environmental issues that could harm the landscape of the neighborhood. In conclusion, I strongly urge the planning commission to reconsider the construction of a dormitory in our neighborhood. I believe that this project will have long-term negative consequences that far outweigh any potential short-term benefits. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your thoughtful consideration and hope that our community's voice will be heard in this important decision.

Agenda #2024-30P;2024-31P;2024-32P;2024-33P;2024-34P -—Original Message—" From: Liliya <liliyakim@yahoo.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 8, 2025 8:58 PM To: Citizen Comments <citizencomments@skokie.org>; Citizen Comments <citizencomments@skokie.org> Subject: 7852 Lincoln Ave . Agenda #2024-30P;2024-31P;2024-32P;2024-33P;2024-34P Dear Members of the Planning Commission, As a concerned resident i would like to express my opposition to the proposed dormitory construction in our neighborhood at the 7852 Lincoln Ave Agenda# 2024-30P;2024-31P;2024-32P;2024-33P;2024-34P . While I understand the need for development, I strongly beiieve that this project is unsuitable for our community for several critical reasons. 1. Overcrowding and Misuse Concerns The proposed dormitory will contain 17 rooms with two beds each, allowing for a capacity of up to 40 people. This essentially makes it a hostel. However/ there are no mechanisms in place to effectively monitor how often the facility will be used or how many people will actually live there. This lack of oversight opens the door for potential overcrowding, which could lead to safety, noise, and quality-of-life concerns for residents in the surrounding area. 2. Alternative Solutions Available Why is a new dormitory being built in a residential area when existing accommodations are available? For example, the hotels on Touhy Avenue are better suited for transient housing and could benefit from increased business. This approach would not only address the accommodation needs but also support local businesses and contribute to the village's economy. 3. Congestion and Traffic Issues We are already expecting an increase in activity in this area with the community center moving in this year. By its very nature/ the community center is meant to serve a wide audience and will bring more people to this neighborhood. Adding a dormitory to such a small, already-congested corner will exacerbate traffic issues, create parking challenges, and compromise pedestrian safety. 4. Security Concerns With the increase in density and transient visitors, there is a legitimate concern about security in the neighborhood. Dormitor/-styte housing often has a higher turnover of occupants, making it more difficult to maintain a stable and secure environment for nearby residents. 5. Preserving the Character of Our Residential Area This dormitory is fundamentally out of place in a residential area. Our neighborhood is not designed to accommodate such high-density housing. This project risks altering the character and harmony of our community, which we have worked hard to build and maintain. 1 urge you to consider these points carefully. There are better alternatives that can meet the housing needs without compromising the integrity of our neighborhood. Supporting local hotels and ensuring thoughtful planning for our  community will benefit the village as a whole. I respectfuliy ask the commission to reject this proposal and protect the interests of the residents who call this area home. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I live at 5129 Mulford Street, a block from the site. I am concerned about: 1. Agenda item 2024-30P:: Site Plan Approval :7848 & 7852-7854 Lincoln Avenue I am concerned about the height of the building. Larger and larger buildings are being built in Skokie, and the view from my front window is getting more closed in and more urban. Building a 3-story structure will blackout even more of the sky. Mulford and Babb have single-family residences. This structure will make it look more like a dense urban area. 2. Agenda items 2024-31P and 2024-33: Parking I am concerned that there are very few parking spaces for the number of people this entity anticipates. The plan lists 26 parking spaces but references 100-150 attendees. There are a lot of seniors in this neighborhood, and they can't do the extra walking if they must park a distance away. My mother is 102. She can t get out much, so many in our family come here to visit her. I am worried about parking spaces for them. 3. Agenda item 2024-34P: Mixed-use zoning This area has been mixed-use but with small businesses and schools. A lot of the area is single-family residences. A large building with many people coming, even if it is only occasionally/ will alter some of the quiet and friendly atmosphere that has defined this neighborhood for many years. I lived here with my parents when I was young. As an adult I came and visited often. When my father died in 2002, I moved back in to take care of my mother, who is 102. This has always been a quiet/ safe, and friendly neighborhood, and I wouldn't want that to change.

What is the purpose/reason of the dormitory? UsuaSiy a dormitory is connected to a school. Please clarify if this is truiy a dormitory or regular housing. 2. Who wiit be living there? 3. How long will the stay last? 4. Is this transient housing? 5. Where is main organization located? 6. Will the occupants be screened, background checks, are they citizens, students abroad, homeless? 7. The occupants will not have any connection to the community if they're oniy staying there for a short period of time. 8. This building will be across the street from a Jr High School, t'm very concerned about the safety of the children, 9. Parking concerns. We both grew up in Skokie and I have lived in Skokie for 60 years, in the same house, and Fm worried about parking availability. Mulford and Babb are already conjested with cars from the condo building at Mufford and Niies Center Rd because they only have one assigned parking space so their 2nd and 3rd cars park on the streets. 10. inconvenience of zone parking. Why would Skokie offer zone parking as a solution to this issue? We !ive in Skokie, not Chicago. We have family that visit often and it would be very inconvenient to use parking stickers. 11. We're confused with the word "dormitory". Why wouldn't it be called an apartment? Are there different zoning regulations between the two types of housing? Please elaborate. 12. We would seriously consider moving out of Skokie if the dormitory is buiit because you're putting an organisation ahead of your citizens. 13. Why not consider building a park on the lot. There is no park for children between Lincoln to Howard and NHes Center to Lincoln. We have to cross a busy street with young children to get to a park. 14. Consider finishing the buitding at Oakton and Miles Ave and house the dormitory there.

We have lived and voted in Skokie since 1984, and our children live here, too. We are concerned about the density and the impact The Assyrian Hall will have on the traffic and parking. We are concerned it will tax the infrastructure of our community that wasn't designed for this kind of use - especially in light of the impact the existing new downtown construction apartment building has already had on the area. The argument is really that you have already unduly increased the number of people that are in the downtown area that used to be more commercial vs residential. We are happy about the new businesses in Skokie and plan to support them, but you have already added enough. More people will bring traffic. Increase parking issues. Etc. You made the decision for tax dollars to add the apartments- you don't need more, especially since a dormitory adds people and not necessarily increases the tax contribution. We are concerned about the fact that it wilt be located across from a school. Children are at risk going and coming with more traffic and the safety issue having transient people in a residential neighborhood. Please locate this facility In a more commercial area.

Use Permit. This letter outlines several legal and community-based concerns that should be addressed before considering approval of this development. Case 2024-30P: Site Plan ApprovalThe request for site plan approval to construct a 3-story building that exceeds the maximum 25' permitted base building height raises significant concerns. While §118-184(a) permits a maximum buiiding height of 45' under site plan approval, the proposed building height of 33' 2" is incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood. This discrepancy could result in: Zoning Nonconformity: The proposed height exceeds typical structures in the NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district, potentially violating zoning principles aimed at maintaining neighborhood consistency and aesthetics. Privacy Issues; The increased height may lead to privacy intrusions on adjacent properties, espedatiy single-famiiy residences to the west. Visua! impact: The building's towering presence is iikety to disrupt the visual harmony of the area, which includes tower-rise structures and residential buildings. Case 2024-31 P and 2024-33P: Parking DeterminationThe parking provisions for the proposed religious assembly and dormitory uses are critically inadequate. The site plan provides only 11 ofj-street parking spaces and 1 bicycle parking spaces, which are insufficient for the expected demand. This inadequacy will likely lead to: Overflow Parking- insufficient parking witi lead to vehicles overflowing onto neighboring streets, creating congestion and safety hazards. inadequate Off-Site Parking Solutions: The reliance on leased off-site parking spaces from the Assyrian National Cound! of Illinois is not a sustainable or practicai solution for long-term events and daily use. Speciai Events: During special events, such as the Abbot's visit, the demand for parking will far exceed the available spaces, leading to potential traffic congestion and parking confhcts within the community. Case 2024-32P and 2024-34P: Special Use PermitsThe special use permits requested for religious assembly and dormitory use present severai issues: Community Disruption: The introduction of a dormitory and frequent religious assemblies wiii increase noise, traffic, and activity ievels, disrupting the predominantly residential character of the neighborhood. Safety Concerns: The increased activity poses safety risks for nearby residents, including children attending the adjacent junior high schooi. !t is crucial to implement stringent safety measures, including thorough background checks for dormitory residents. Legal Precedents: Granting these special use permits may set a precedent for future developments that could further disrupt the community's residentia! nature and (ead to incremental zoning changes. PubSic Safety ConcemsThe proposed development raises several public safety issues that must be addressed:  Traffic and Pedestrian Safety: The increased traffic flow on Lincoln Avenue and Babb Avenue, both designated as bike routes/shared use roadways, poses significant risks to pedestrians and cyclists. The development could exacerbate traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours and special events. Emergency Access: The reduction of the alley width off Babb Avenue to 16 feet, as required by Village Code Section 94-6(5)(a), could impede emergency vehide access, compromising pubiic safety. Tax ImplicationsThe development may result in increased property taxes for local residents to support necessary infrastructure improvements and public services required to accommodate the new facility. This potential tax increase is a significant concern for many residents, particularly those on fixed incomes. impact on Babb AvenueThe dedication required for the alley off Babb Avenue, reducing its width to 16 feet, poses logistical and safety challenges. This narrowing may hinder access for larger vehides and emergency services, exacerbating traffic congestion and affecting the daily lives of residents. Environmental and Aesthetic ConcernsThe construction and operation of a 3-story building and related surface parking will lead to significant environmental changes. Potential issues include: Noise Poliution: increased noise from construction and daily activities. * Green Space Reduction: Loss of green space, affecting the natural landscape and neighborhood aesthetics. Air Quality: Increased traffic could lead to poorer air quality in the area, Construction tmpactThe construction phase of the development will undoubtedly cause significant disruptions to the community. Potential construction issues include: » Noise and Dust: Construction noise and dust will negatively impact the daily lives of nearby residents. Traffic Disruptions: Construction vehicles and activities will lead to increased traffic and potential road dosures, affecting the flow of traffic and accessibility. Safety Hazards: Construction sites pose safety hazards, particularly for children and pedestrians in the vicinity. Best interest of Taxpayersln light of the numerous concerns associated with the proposed development, it would be in the best interest of taxpayers to consider alternative uses for the site that better align with community needs and values. Converting the site into a park or playground would provide significant benefits, including: Community Space: A park or playground would serve as a valuable community space, promoting outdoor activities and social interaction. Environmentai Benefits: Green spaces contribute to improved air quality, reduced urban heat, and enhanced biodiversity. Community Vaiue: Parks and playgrounds can attract families to the area, fostering a stronger, more vibrant community. Conctusion: While the intentions behind the DDMBA's proposal may be positive, the potential adverse impacts on the community are substantial. The planning committee must carefully reconsider this development, taking into account the tegal, safety, environmental, and community concerns highlighted above. Alternative locations that better suit the DDMBA's needs without compromising the character and well-being of the existing neighborhood should be explored. I urge the planning committee to prioritize the interests and safety of the residents in their dedsion-making process and to consider alternative uses for the site that align with the community's values and needs.

Building Height and Visual Impact (Case 2024-30P): The request to construct a 3-story building that exceeds the maximum 25' permitted base building height is highly concerning. While §118-184(a) allows for a maximum building height of45? under site plan approval, the significant increase in height disrupts the visual landscape and harmony of the neighborhood. The towering presence of a 33" 2" building will overshadow adjacent properties, leading to privacy issues and altering the character of our community. Nearby structures, such as the 30' 1 1 !A" building at 7840 Lincoln Avenue and the 35' Wintrust Bank at 7839 Lincoln Avenue, are more in line with the current architectural scale. Parking Issues (Case 2024-31 P and 2024-33P): The proposed development plan's parking provisions are inadequate to meet the needs of both regular use and special events. With only 11 off-street parking spaces and 4 bicycle parking spaces provided, the plan falls short of accommodating the increased demand. The additional 15 off-site parking spaces leased from the Assyrian National Council of Illinois are insufficient, particularly during large events. This reliance on off-site parking will lead to overflow parking on neighboring residential streets, causing inconvenience and potential conflicts among residents. Furthermore, the arrangement for off-site special event parking in Wheeling is not a viable long-term solution for meeting parking demands. Also brining to your attention Parking Space Rental Agreement with Assyrian National Council of Illinois concerns: 1. #3 states "that the lessee will park cars at the premises 4-8 times a year". 2. #6 "This agreement can be cancelled by lessor with 3 months prior notice" Based on above the attached parking agreement (see "parking agreement" attached file) is not reliable solution for parking concerns. Based on "Staff Report" (See "Staff Report" via httfis^/drrve^ooglexoiWfUe^^ ) classes varies 5 to 30 with classes falling within 10 participants. Special events will hold gathering with 100-150 attendees. Staff Report states that DDMBA Chicago Chapter has 200 members (no document was provided to confirm that number). 27 vehicle parking spaces and 1 bicycle parking space (15 parking spaces out of 27 could be canceled per "Parking Agreement" with Assyrian National Council of Illinois) does not meet DDMBA Chicago Chapter parking needs. Also bicycle parking should not be considered during cold season/weather condition. Additionally, the subject site is not directly served by any bus routes, which limits public transportation options for visitors and residents. While the site is within walking distance of various amenities, the lack of direct public transit access and adequate bicycle facilities could exacerbate traffic and parking issues. Please take for consideration that residence parking at Babb Ave is already impacted via automotive repair facility: employees park and clients park at Babb Ave. Also Assyrian National Council of Illinois owns big facility and will be running after remodeling, that will be also big impact on traffic and parking. Currently Babb Ave residents are short on parking spaces. In average 3 cars per household. Traffic Congestion and Safety Concerns: The increased traffic flow resulting from this development is a significant concern. Lincoln Avenue and Babb Avenue are already designated bike route/shared use roadways. The additional vehicles from attendees and residents will exacerbate existing traffic challenges, posing safety risks for pedestrians, cyclists, and schoolchildren attending the nearby Lincoln Junior High. Lincoln Junior High has crossing guard and during the year school has it Is own events. The strain on local infrastructure and the potential for traffic congestion could compromise the safety and quality of life for community members. Attaching some pictures of Lincoln street busy by Babb Ave: Public Safety: The increased activity associated with the development could pose safety risks for local residents, particularly children attending the nearby junior high school. Ensuring appropriate measures are in place to address these concerns is crucial. Additionally, conducting thorough background checks for individuals residing in the dormitory is essential to maintain community safety. Tax Implications: The development may result in increased property taxes for local residents to support necessary infrastructure improvements and public services required to accommodate the new facility. This additional financial burden is a significant concern for many residents, particularly those on fixed incomes. Special Use Permits and Community Impact (Case 2024-32P and 2024-34P): Granting special use permits for religious assembly and dormitory use in an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district could disrupt the residential character of our community. The frequent gatherings and events associated with religious assemblies, along with the continuous occupancy of dormitories, may lead to increased noise and activity levels incompatible with a predominantly residential neighborhood. Impact on Adjacent Properties: The proposed site is adjacent to a junior high school, single-family residences, and various small businesses. The introduction of a large-scale development could negatively impact these properties. Increased traffic and parking demand could pose safety risks for students and disrupt the operations of nearby businesses. Additionally, the presence of a large assembly and dormitory facility may affect the quiet residential atmosphere currently enjoyed by the surrounding community. Environmental and Aesthetic Concerns: The construction and operation ofa3-story building and related surface parking will lead to considerable changes in the local environment. Issues such as increased noise pollution, reduced green space, and alterations to the natural landscape could diminish the quality of life for local residents. The proposed development threatens the neighborhood's aesthetic appeal and the tranquil atmosphere currently enjoyed by the community. Infrastructure and Access: The existing infrastructure is not equipped to handle the increased demand resulting from this development. This includes parking, traffic management, and public transportation access. The site is not directly served by any bus routes, limiting public transportation options for visitors and residents. This could further exacerbate the reliance on private vehicles, contributing to traffic and parking issues. Special Event Parking and Logistics: The plan's provision for off-site parking during special events, such as an Abbot's visit, is not a sustainable solution. The requirement for off-street parking within 0.5 miles of the event highlights the inadequacy of the on-site parking facilities. The logistical challenges and inconvenience for event participants and local residents will likely lead to ongoing conflicts and dissatisfaction. Lack of Benefit to the Village of Skokie: The proposed development does not offer sufficient benefits to the Village of Skokie to justify the numerous negative impacts. The disruption to the community's character, potential safety risks, and increased financial burdens outweigh any benefits the development might bring. A community park or playground would provide far greater benefits to the residents and enhance the quality of life in Skokie. DDMBA tax exempt nonprofit organization: charges $20 per membership (https://www.ddmbachicaqo.orci/membership/, link to coast), one of the classes $150/quarter (10 classes per quarter, https://www.ddmbachicago.org/event/tai-chi-class- 2025,). https://proiects.propublica.ora/nonprofits/orciani2ations/542085906 ).

This reduction poses a safety hazard and logistical challenge, particularly for larger vehicles and emergency services. The narrow alleyway could exacerbate traffic congestion and impede access, farther disrupting the daily lives of residents. In conclusion, while I appreciate the intentions behind the DDMBA s proposal, I urge the planning committee to reconsider this development due to the significant concerns outlined above. Alternative locations should be explored to better suit the needs of the DDMBA without compromising the well-being and character of the existing community. I tmst that the planning committee will take these concerns into account and prioritize the interests of the residents in their decision-making process. Please preserve one green area left at downtown Skokie (7854 Lincoln Ave).
