(IV) CASE DESCRIPTION Case 2024-03Z – 4919 Main Street Pickledilly, LLC, on behalf of 4820 & 4901, LTD requests a variation in order to install two signs, one with a logo height of 62.4” tall and one with a logo height of 107.2” tall, rather than the 36” maximum as required by Section 82-27(c)(3) of the Skokie Village Code in a TX Transit Mixed-Use district. PINs: 10-21-402-072-0000, 10-21-402-073-0000, 10-21-402-084-0000, 10-21-402-085-0000, 10-21-402-086-0000, 10-21-402-087-0000, and 10-21-402-107-0000 Chris Canning, attorney, and Lauren Busey, business owner presented the case. They are a new business coming to Skokie and have started this long journey last summer when they were granted approval by the Plan Commission, Village Board, and Appearance Commission for an indoor recreation facility for pickleball. It was only when they applied for building permits that they were told that they also needed a variance for the oversized logo signs. Skokie’s code allows up to a 36” sign. They worked with a sign designer to make sure that the signs were to scale to the walls where they will be located and were way-finding signs as the building is set back from the road; 150 ft from any right of way and at least 500 ft away from Main Street. Warehouse walls are different than storefront walls. The 62.4” sign will be located on the north wall and the 107.2” sign will locate on the rear south wall facing the parking lot. # 624253 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting minutes January 15, 2025 APPROVED on 3/05/2025 ZBA member Sharon Kirkpatrick, gave an overview of the case. Based on the case summary and letter of support, staff is recommending approval. On a site visit, Ms. Kirkpatrick drove past it and had to circle around just to find the site. She could see why the larger signs are a necessity. The chairman added, as a sign shop owner himself, that setbacks are huge considerations. A sign should be visible from 10 ft away. He also noted that the shape and lettering is similar to the Piccadilly Circus underground station in London. He last inquired if the signs would be mounted on the wall or painted on the brick.. The petitioners stated that the signs were physical signs to be mounted. (V) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING Case 2024-03Z A motion was made to approve the request to install two signs, one with a logo height of 62.4” tall and one with a logo height of 107.2” tall at 4919 Main Street in a TX Transit-Mixed- Use district. Motion: Roos-Kirkpatrick Second: S. Arden Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 A covenant for signage is not necessary. (VI) ITEMS FOR COMMUNICATION The February 5 & 19, 2025 Zoning Board of Appeals meetings have been cancelled due to lack of cases. Chairman O’Donnell announced the new Vice-Chair – Nicholas Werth. Other ZBA members congratulated him & wished him well. (VII) ADJOURNMENT Chair O’Donnell adjourned the meeting at 7:57 PM.

(II) APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion to approve the minutes of the November 20, 2024 meeting was made by ZBA Vice-Chair Perlin and seconded by ZBA member Arden. Ayes: Unanimous voice vote in unison (III) RULING ON NOTICE Assistant Corporation Counsel Kobylski announced that notice was provided in all cases. (IV) CASE DESCRIPTION Case 2024-01Z – 8240 Harding Avenue Daniel & Daniela Petrean request a variation in order to construct a second-floor addition resulting in the continuation of the combined side yards equaling 12,8 feet rather than the 17.5 feet minimum as required by Section 118-125 (6) b. of the Skokie /village Zoning Code in an R2 Single-Family district. façade as required by Section 82-2 of the Skokie Village Code in a B2 Commercial district. PIN: 10-23-090-027-0000 and 10-23-090-040-0000 Property owner, Daniel Petrean presented the case. The house was constructed in 1950 and, at that time, was in compliance with side yard setbacks. In 2002, the side yards became non-conforming when they were increased to 7’ minimum on lots over 70 feet wide with each side yards needing to be at least 7’ minimum and equal to 20% or more of the lot width. Mr. Petrean, being in the building trades, is proposing to build a 2nd floor addition over the southern portion of the house continuing the existing south side setback at 8.4’ and the combined side yards at 12.8’ rather than the 17.5’ minimum. He further explained that he has lived in this small house on a double lot for 10 years. He has 3 kids and needs extra space. # 623506 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting minutes December 4, 2024 DRAFT/NOT APPROVED Vice-Chair Perlin commented that the petitioner did not create the hardship and sees no problem with the request. The house was built with the existing setbacks. If he abides by the present codes for the addition, it would not be aesthetically pleasing or structurally sound. (V) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING Case 2024-01Z A motion was made to approve the request for a 2nd floor addition resulting in the continuation of the combined side yards equaling 12.8 feet at 8240 Harding Avenue in an R2 Single-Family district. Motion: Perlin Second: Roos-Kirkpatrick Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 A covenant will be required. (IV) CASE DESCRIPTION Case 2024-02Z – 9100 Kenton Avenue Nashaud Qureishi requests a variation to maintain a residence with a height of 28-foot-10- inch rather than the 28-foot maximum as allowed by Section 118-124(3) a. of the Skokie Village Zoning Code in an R1 Single-Family district. PIN: 10-15-303-050-0000. Nashaud Qureishi, property owner, presented the case. He is renovating a tri-level house and has received a CO from the Appearance Commission as well as a building permit. A framing inspection found that the building height exceeded the proposed plan by 10 inches and the inspector issued a stop work order. Mr. Qureishi had his architect, EJ Fernandez, revise plans to try to reduce the slope to meet the 28’ maximum height. However, adding steel to adjust the roof would add too much weight. Comments from the building inspector and another Appearance Commission review found that the building looked odd with a lower roof height and the project would not be feasible. When he contacted his framing contractor for a cost estimate for demolition and re- framing of the roof, it was decided that the extra cost ($10,000) and 4-week timeline extension was reason to request a hardship and submit a petition for a variance. He is hoping for a favorable response. ZBA member Sean Arden commented from a site visit, the area is a bit distinctive with only 3 houses on the block. He noticed that several single-family houses and the multi-family building on Davis are comparable in height. The median also has tall trees. In fact, this house seems to blend right in and verified that there were no neighbor complaints. ZBA chair O’Donnell mentioned that staff is not in favor of the variance request. This is a standard corner lot with no unique characteristics and therefore, doesn’t warrant a variance. If approved, it could set a precedent. He asked the applicant if he is the contractor. Mr. Qureishi stated that he purchased the property 2 years ago and plans on living at the residence after the work is complete. He designed and executed the project but hired a framing contractor. He took off the chimney, added a sprinkler system and upgraded the electric. # 623506 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting minutes December 4, 2024 DRAFT/NOT APPROVED Vice-Chair Perlin added that the pitch of 4/12 is listed on the building permit and is standard for houses and detached garages. In closing, Mr. Qureishi stated that this was a mistake, he is not gaining anything from the extra 10” of roof space. (V) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING A motion was made to deny the request for the continuation of the 28’ 10” height for the residence at 9100 Kenton in an R1 Single-Family zoning district. Motion: Werth Second: None The motion fails for lack of a Second A motion was made to approve without conditions the request for the continuation of the 28’ 10”’ height for the residence at 9100 Kenton in an R1 Single-Family zoning district. Motion: Arden Second: Roos-Kirkpatrick Ayes: 4 Nays: 2 A covenant will be required. Staff reminded the petitioner that revised plans will be required and reviewed before work can be resumed. (VI) ITEMS FOR COMMUNICATION The Dec. 18, 2024.Zoning Board of Appeals meeting has been cancelled due to lack of cases. As the following meeting falls on January 1, 2025, the Zoning Board of Appeals will next meet on January 15, 2025. Vice-Chair Richard Perlin addressed the group announcing that this was his last meeting. He is resigning from the Zoning Board as he is leaving Skokie and moving to Deerfield. He graciously spoke of the friendships and professional relationships he has made with past & present commission members as well as the knowledge and guidance from Skokie staff. (VII) ADJOURNMENT Chair O’Donnell adjourned the meeting at 8:39 PM. Respectfully submitted, Marlene Bargamian, Administrative Assistant # 623506 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting minutes December 4, 2024 STAFF REPORT 2024-03Z: Variation Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, January 15, 2025 To: Brian O’Donnell, Chairman, Zoning Board of Appeals From: Brian J. Augustine, Zoning Administrator Re: 4919 Main St – Signage Variation General Information Location 4919 Main Street Request Variation in order to install two signs, one with a logo height of 62.4-inches tall and one logo height of 107.2-inches Zoning Requirement 36-inch maximum letter or logo height (82-27(c)(3) Petitioner Pickledilly,LLC on behalf of 4820 & 4901 LTD Existing Zoning & TX Transit Mixed-Use – Multi-tenant commercial building Land Use North R2 Single Family – Detached residences South M2 Light Industry – Industrial building East M2 Light Industry – CTA L tracks West TX Transit Mixed-Use – Walking path, Mixed-use building and animal shelter Assigned to Sharon Kirkpatrick SITE INFORMATION  The property is a 108,000 square foot lot located east of Skokie Blvd on the south side of Main Street.  4919 Main is the southernmost space in the four-unit building. PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting a variation in order to install two signs, one with a logo height of 62.4-inches tall and one logo height of 107.2-inches, rather than the 36-inch maximum height. APPEARANCE COMMISSION Per the Skokie Zoning Ordinance, the Appearance Commission reviewed the request first and granted a Certificate of Appropriateness at its December 11, 2024 meeting. ZBA Staff Report for 2024-3Z – 4919 Main St – Doc 624134 STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent divisions and departments. Based on the proposed Findings of Fact, Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to install two signs, one with a logo height of 62.4-inches tall and one logo height of 107.2- inches, rather than the 36-inch maximum height, be granted. The petitioner is proposing to install a 62.4-inch tall sign on a north facing wall that is approximately 490 feet away from Main St. and a 107.2-inch tall sign located on the rear (south) wall of the building facing a proposed parking lot. Staff is supportive of the petitioner’s request to install two signs larger than what the code allows because of the proposed location of the signs on the building. Both signs are located hundreds of feet away from any street rights-of-way. The signage will help a business located in the rear of a multi-tenant building with limited visibility from any public right-of- way. Based on this uniquely deep lot and tenant space location, staff feels the sign height variation is warranted for both signs. ATTACHMENTS 1. Proposed Findings of Fact 2.

Proposed wall signage renderings ZBA Staff Report for 2024-3Z – 4919 Main St – Doc 624134 Proposed Findings of Fact 2024-03Z: Variation Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, January 15, 2025 1 Consideration Limitation on the use of the property due to physical, topographical, and geologic features. Finding There are limitations on the property due to the unique physical shape of the building that limits visibility of signage. The tenant space is about 500 feet away from the Main St right-of-way making signage difficult to read from Main St or Searle Parkway. 2 Consideration The applicant can demonstrate that without a variance there can be no reasonable use of the property. Finding The applicant could possibly have a reasonable use of the property without a sign variation. The signs would barely be visible if they met ordinance regulations. 3 Consideration The granting of the variance is not based solely on economic reasons. Finding The granting of the variance appears to be for better signage visibility from property lines. 4 Consideration The necessity for the variance was not created by the property owner. Finding The uniqueness of the building layout on the property was not created by the property owner. 5 Consideration The variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to allow reasonable use of the property. Finding The request appears to be the minimum, or very close to the minimum, to allow for reasonably sized signage for this tenant space. 6 Consideration The granting of the variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, or welfare. Finding The granting of the variance will not be injurious to public health, safety or welfare as the sign will need to be installed per code requirements. 7 Consideration The property subject to the variance request possesses one or more unique characteristics generally not applicable to similarly situated properties Finding The property is unique from other properties zoned TX in that this lot is narrow and over 800 feet deep. Similarly zoned lots are typically 100-200 feet deep from the front lot line. The southernmost tenant space is almost 500-feet from the front lot line of the property.

CANNING DIRECT DIAL NUMBER (847) 853-7040 canningchris@comcast.net December 12, 2024 VIA HAND DELIVERY Zoning Board of Appeals Village of Skokie c/o Johanna Nyden Community Development Director Village of Skokie 5217 Oakton Street Skokie, IL 60077 Re: Petition for Variation for Signs for 4901 Main Street. Dear Chair O’Donnell and Members of the Zoning Board: I am writing on behalf of Pickledilly, LLC to request a Variation for signage at an indoor pickleball facility at 4901 Main Street in Skokie. (“Subject Property”). For the reasons set forth below, Pickledilly respectfully request that the Village of Skokie grant its request for the Variations. I. Skokie Pickledilly – an indoor pickleball facility. Skokie Pickledilly is a concept born from a strong desire to bring indoor pickleball more readily available to Skokie. We are firmly convinced that there is a significant demand for dedicated courts and that the facility will have a profoundly positive impact on the community. Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport that encourages active fun for people of all ages, and pickleball will play a crucial role in Skokie, especially Main Street, as a pivotal social hub. Skokie Pickledilly’s vision is to establish a membership-based facility with competitive pricing, aiming to be a go-to place for people to meet and play. Skokie Pickledilly looked in several communities for a suitable location to establish an indoor pickleball facility. The team was immediately captivated with the building at 4901 Main December 12, 2024 Page 2 St. Not only was it a spacious venue for multiple courts, but it was also strategically situated in Skokie, making it the ideal spot for our community-driven Pickledilly facility. Realizing its proximity to Sketchbook Brewery, the potential projects on Main Street, and its accessibility via the Yellow Line and Edens Expressway, the team was resolute in their belief that it would be an ideal location for a community pickleball facility. Pickleball is not merely a sport; it's a cultural phenomenon that is sweeping the nation. According to pickleheads.com: ● In 2023, the Association of Pickleball Professionals (APP) estimated that there were 48.3 million players in the United States. ● According to the SFIA, pickleball participation has surged by an average of 223.5% over the past three years. ● It has been the fastest-growing sport in America for the past three years. ● Players aged 18-34 constitute the largest percentage of pickleball players at 28.8% nationwide. ● Presently, there are 13,969 pickleball courts in the United States. ● The pickleball paddle market was estimated at $152.8 million in 2021 and is projected to grow at a 7.7% CAGR through 2028. https://www.pickleheads.com/blog/pickleball-statistics The need is undeniable. Competitive players continuously seek year-round court access, and novices flock to the sport. Skokie Pickledilly intends to meet that need with its indoor facility through lessons, matches and tournaments. II. The Subject Property and the proposed signs. The Subject Property is located within the M-2 and TX Zoning Districts. The Subject Property is located on the south side of Main Street and the north side of Searle Parkway. The Subject Property has approximately 181.91 feet of frontage on Main Street and 181.85 on Searle Parkway and a depth of approximately 1,470.85 feet. The Subject Property has a lot area of approximately 267,465 square feet and is improved with two industrial buildings. The indoor pickleball facility will occupy a space of approximately 24,000 square feet in the northernmost building, (see Site Plan attached as Exhibit A), with twelve high-quality pickleball courts. In the building where Pickledilly will be located, the south exterior wall is 2,948 sq. ft., the east exterior wall is 4,400 sq. ft., the north exterior wall is 4,840 and the north exterior wall is 459 sq. ft. Pickledilly proposes to place a sign on the south exterior wall with dimensions of 102.7” x 119.5” and a sign on the north exterior wall with dimensions of 62.4” x 60”. (See Exhibit B). The proposed signs have been designed and proposed to be both easy to see and read, without being distracting, and complementing the predominate characteristics of Subject Property. The Pickledilly sign plan builds a cohesive identity for Pickledilly with signs that are made from high quality materials with secure attachment systems, and that are carefully located and to an extent to maximize visibility and easy readability. The signs, and the locations are December 12, 2024 Page 3 also sensitive to issues of public safety, by minimizing obstructions for pedestrians and motorists. Chapter 82 of the Village Code regulates signs in the Village. Section 82-27 (c)(3) provides that no letter or logo of a sign shall be larger than 36” in height. Here, with respect to the sign on the south exterior wall, all the letters are 36” or less in height but the logo itself exceeds that height. Therefore, a variation is necessary for the sign on the south exterior wall. With respect to the north exterior wall, all the letters are 36” or less in height but again, the logo itself exceeds the 36” height called for in the Code. Therefore, a variation is necessary for the sign on the north exterior wall. The signs are not of the type prohibited by the Village Code Section 82-11. III. Plan Commission, Village Board and Appearance Commission. On or about June 14, 2024, Pickledilly applied for a Special Use permit to operate the pickle facility at the Subject Property. After a unanimous recommendation for approval from the Plan Commission, the Village Board granted the Special Use permit. Pickledilly has applied for building permits for the facility and intend to commence operations in the first quarter of 2025. On December 11, 2024, the Appearance Commission unanimously approved a Certificate of Appropriate for the proposed signage. The Commission appeared to agree with the staff report which stated in relevant part that “The logo on the south wall proportionally fits the wall, which s close to 21-feet fall, and will either not be visible from Searle Parkway or will be barely visible from Searle Parkway due to the building at 820 Searle. Staff feels the logo on the north wall is proportional in size to the wall. The north wall is close to 500 feet away from Main St. and a taller sign will act ass a key wayfinding sign for the tenant.” IV. Standards of Review for Variations. Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, the signage proposed by Pickledilly exceeds the size permitted by the Sign Ordinance and therefore requires a Variation. Any Variation application must establish how the proposed signage complies with the following standards. Section 118-7 (k) (3). Each request for a variation must be consistent with the following findings: (1) There is a limitation on use of the property due to physical, topographical, and geologic features. This standard is inapplicable. The Village Board has approved a special use for the indoor pickleball facility. Pickledilly seeks a variation not for the use but for the signage. The setback of the facility from Main Street and Searle Parkway serve to limit the identification of the facility. The signs in the proposed locations and of the proposed size will help to December 12, 2024 Page 4 establish Pickledilly’s brand and serve as a wayfinding sign to further Pickledilly’s intent to provide players and visitors with a clear understanding of the location of the facility and the entrances. (2) Without a variance there can be no reasonable use of the property. This standard is inapplicable. The Village Board has approved a special use for the indoor pickleball facility and Pickledilly intends to make reasonable use of the property with the indoor pickleball facility. Pickledilly is seeking a variation for appropriate signage to establish its brand at the Subject Property and direct players and visitors to the facility. It would be unreasonable not to permit signage that is appropriate within the context of the Subject Property, the Zoning District, the building, the distances from Main Street and Searle Parkway and the use. Pickledilly has proposed signage that is reasonable within that context. (3) The request is not based solely on economic reasons. Pickledilly is making a significant financial investment in this project, and it is confident that the investment combined with the indoor nature of this pickleball facility will have a positive impact on surrounding property values. Pickledilly seeks a variation for the signs not for economic reasons nor for the purpose of enhancing the value of or increasing the revenue from the facility but to establish its brand at the Subject Property and to direct players and visitors to the facility. It is Pickledilly’s intent that the placement of the signs in these locations and sizes will assist with the identification of the facility and establish the Pickledilly brand. (4) The property owner did not create the necessity for the variance. Neither the property owner nor Pickledilly created the necessity for the variation. Neither the property owner or Pickledilly created the Subject Property or the building in which the indoor pickleball facility will be located. However, both the property owner and Pickledilly saw an opportunity to revitalize this area of the Village but creating an indoor pickleball facility. Pickledilly seek the variation for the signs to establish its brand and contribute to the revitalization of this area by bringing pickleball players and visitors to the facility. (5) The request is the minimum variation necessary to allow reasonable use of the property. As mentioned above, the Village Board has approved a special use permit for the indoor pickleball facility and therefore, Pickledilly can make reasonable use of the property. The variation for signage is, in the opinion of Pickledilly and the professionals they have used to create the signage, a reasonable request and is the minimum necessary to identify the facility. As shown on Exhibit B, a conforming sign would be difficult to see. Pickledilly seeks to use appropriately sized signage within the context of the existing buildings and the Subject Property to direct players and visitors to the facility and to establish its brand. (6) The request will not be injurious to public health, safety, or welfare. December 12, 2024 Page 5 The requested signs will have no impact on the health, safety and welfare of customers, motorists or passersbys. The signs are designed and located to be easy and simple to read, thereby avoiding driver distraction that could lead to accidents. Finally, in no way will the signs, as presented in the sign plan, take away from the utility of other businesses signs within the Subject Property. (7) The subject site possesses one or more unique characteristics generally not applicable to similarly situated properties. The Pickledilly facility is in the center of the Subject Property and is hundreds of yards away from both Main Street and Searle Parkway and is not visible from either street. The proposed signage will not only establish the Pickledilly brand but will reassure players or visitors coming from Main Street or Searle Parkway that they have arrived at the right location. Pickledilly’s variation application is consistent with all applicable criteria and standards for approval. Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request that the Zoning Board approve Pickledilly’s request for the above-described sign variations. We look forward to the opportunity to appear at the Public Hearing on the application and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
