Michael J. Earl, Village Manager Maureen M. Barry, Assistant Village Manager Mary Beth Cyze, Assistant Corporation Counsel Barbara L. Hirsch, Deputy Village Clerk Lisa Roberts, Director of Community Development Kyle Perkins, Deputy Police Chief

7/10/07 Not yet approved

3.0 PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS:

Ronald Cope, attorney for Robert and Rosa Levin, asked for a motion to reconsider the Village Board's vote from the June 26, 2007 Regular Board meeting regarding the 2122 Old Glenview Road proposal for subdivision. He also suggested the Levins would be amenable to tabling the motion to a later date rather than discussing the issue this evening.

President Canning asked if the Trustees wished to make a motion to reconsider the vote.

Trustee Swanson asked if it was possible to make a motion to reconsider and then table the motion to reconsider.

Assistant Corporation Counsel Mary Beth Cyze said, yes, it was possible.

Trustee Swanson made a motion to reconsider the Village Board's vote from the June 26, 2007 Regular Board meeting regarding the 2122 Old Glenview, seconded by Trustee Terman.

Trustee Swanson made a motion to table that motion, seconded by Trustee Terman.

Voting yes on the motion to table: Trustees Swanson and Terman. Voting no: Trustees Watt, Levin, Spillers, Basil and President Canning. The motion to table failed.

Trustee Swanson said he does not believe the Village Board should negotiate on issues or issues will not be decided. He believes a reconsideration of the vote would be setting a dangerous precedent.

Trustee Terman said the logistical alternative to discussing the previous plan would be for the applicants to submit a new plan.

Mr. Cope said it took two years and thousands of dollars to go through the previous plans and that would mean starting all over for the Levins. He believes if enough neighbors are against a new plan, the Village Board would not approve it. He would like to poll the Village Board to see if they would be in favor of a two lot subdivision.

President Canning said he does not believe the Village Board should grant an advisory opinion, which seems to be what Mr. Cope is asking for in polling the Board. He also believed it would be setting a dangerous precedent. He asked why the applicant did not start over and meet with Community Development, Engineering and Corporation Counsel if needed.

2


Mr. Cope said the Levins are just looking for simple direction from the Board.

Trustee Watt said she takes exception to Mr. Cope's words that the Board makes up their mind on how to vote depending upon the number of people that show up for a meeting. She said that is not true for herself. She believes the guidance the Levins are looking for resides in the Village Ordinances. The petitioners should also minimize the variations and submit a new plan.

Trustee Levin suggested the Levins review the tape from the previous meeting as there was a lot of comment from the Trustees that gave a clear indication of the Trustees' views.

Voting yes: none. Voting no: Trustees Swanson, Watt, Levin, Terman, Spillers, Basil and President Canning. The motion failed.

4.0 REPORTS OF OFFICERS:

Michael J. Earl, Village Manager, presented the Clean Air Counts Award that was recently awarded to President Canning in recognition of the Village of Wilmette achievement of "platinum status" for clean air initiatives. He said the Village is one of only five communities in the area to receive the award.

President Canning announced that the Wilmette Sidewalk Sale will be held Friday and Saturday, July 13 and 14. He also noted the Friends of Thomwood Park were holding their annual concert on Sunday, July 15 from 3-7pm.

6.17 Zoning Board of Appeals Report, 3000 Glenview Road, Case #2007-Z-23 regarding a request for a special use to expand an existing park, (Hibbard Park), a 119 space parking variation, and a 12 decibel variation to permit the construction of a 7 ,500 square foot skate park in accordance with the plans submitted. The use shall run with the use; adoption of Ordinance #2007-0-56.

Trustee Swanson moved to grant a request for a special use to expand an existing park, (Hibbard Park), a 119 space parking variation, and a 12 decibel variation to permit the construction of a 7,500 square foot skate park in accordance with the plans submitted. The use shall run with the use, seconded by Trustee Watt.

Terry Porter, Wilmette Park District Director of Parks and Recreation, reviewed the case as presented in the Zoning Board of Appeals Report. He noted that skate boarding has become a mainstream activity over the years and the Park District has received many requests for a skate board park. The Park District's goal is to provide a safe place to skate board in Wilmette with equipment that is designed for a skate park. The proposed site for the skate park is Hibbard Park, a 13 acre park where the current Community Recreation Center is located. There are also tennis courts and two baseball fields. The proposed skate park will be less than 2% of the site. The noise experts state that there will be an insignificant impact from this use and no extraordinary noise action is needed. The Park District did receive comments from concerned residents regarding noise that might be generated from the skate park and after the ZBA hearing proposed building a higher berm along the eastern border.

Fay Paras, 416 Skokie Court, said she lives across from the proposed skate park. Many of the neighbors that border Hibbard Park formed the "Hibbard Park Neighbors Committee of Concerned Citizens. For the past two years, they have expressed serious objections to the Park District's proposal to place a skate board park at Hibbard Park. She noted the process that the Park District has gone through over the past two years and the neighbors' objections to the process. The committee agrees that a skate board park will alter the essential character of the neighborhood and will not be consistent with the goals and objectives set forth in the Wilmette Comprehensive Plan. The neighbors believe the sound study provided by the Park District was flawed as "spike noise" from skate board parks can be heard quite a distance from those parks. The neighbors believe there are four other larger parks available for the proposed skate board park. The neighbors are not against skate board parks for young people in Wilmette, but they asked the Board to find that Hibbard Park is the wrong location for a skate board park.

President Canning asked why, after 30 years of consideration, the Park District was placing a skate board park at the Hibbard Park location.

Mr. Porter said skate boarding has become a mainstream activity and more and more young people in the Village are skate boarding. The sport has grown in popularity and he believes it is the fastest growing sport in the United States. Hibbard Park met the standards for a skate park location as a park must be more than four acres (Hibbard Park is 13 acres) and the skate board park could not exceed 10% of the volume of the park. The proposed skate park will only be 2% of the park. The Community Recreation Center will be adjacent to the proposed skate park and there is also a five lane US Highway with existing noise. The Park Board narrowed the choice of parks to two, one being the Community Playfield, but received a letter from the Wilmette School Board asking the Park District not to place a skate park in Community Playfield as it was adjacent to two schools and could possibly interfere with the education process.

President Canning said he believes the Park District has fulfilled their mission over the past 30 years. He asked how a skate park will help them fulfill their mission.

Mr. Porter said more and more residents are asking for a skate park and their request is not much different than the sports of tennis, baseball and soccer that the Park District currently supports.

Trustee Swanson asked for an explanation of how sound works and affects different sources.

Dr. Thomas Thunder, Acoustic Associates acoustical engineer, explained the scales used to measure frequency of sound as perceived by human ears. He noted that background sound has to be taken into consideration when measuring other sounds for impact. He noted the background noise of the Edens Expressway, Skokie Boulevard and the well-populated area surrounding the park.

Trustee Swanson asked if there was anything different in the frequency of skating associated noise.

Dr. Thunder said different sounds have different characters which are taken into consideration with the sound scales.

Trustee Swanson asked if sound barriers actually make a difference or if they only have a psychological effect.

7


Dr. Thunder said he did not believe as much money would be spent on sound walls in our country if the sound walls' impact was just psychological. Sound walls become less effective the farther away you get from them but they are effective for the person living next door to the noise.

Trustee Swanson asked if a berm would make a real difference in the noise to those who live 150 feet away.

Dr. Thunder said if you block the line of the source of the noise there would be a five decibel reduction at 150 feet away.

President Canning asked if it would make a bigger difference if the skate park was sunk into the ground rather than having a berm next to it.

Dr. Thunder said either way would work and achieve the same result acoustically.

Trustee Watt asked ifthere was something that could be used in the base of the skate park construction to deaden the sound.

Paul Fyle, Thompson Dyke & Associates landscape architect, said the ramps have materials to attempt to deaden the sound but the preferred surface for skate parks is concrete.

President Canning said he understands that concrete is the preferred surface, but asked if there is another material that would have sound absorption.

Mr. Fyle said he is not aware of any other options besides asphalt or concrete for the surface of a skate park.

Trustee Levin said the variation is from 45-57 decibels because the skate board park would create 57 decibels. Is the 57 decibels the spike of sound and is that how the sound is measured?

Dr. Thunder said no, they use the LAQ equivalent level to measure sound, which has been endorsed for 30 years all over the world. It is a level weighted average that would favor the peaks of noise.

Trustee Levin said the human perception of white noise from the Edens Expressway and Skokie Boulevard would mitigate the variation in sound coming from the skate park.

8


Dr. Thunder said before taking a measurement to determine if someone is exceeding the ordinance, the background noise has to be taken into consideration. It is embodied in the Illinois State Pollution Control Board, and is what is referred to in the Village Ordinance.

Trustee Terman asked if there was a difference in frequency in the ride up on the ramp by skate boarders and the skate board striking the surface on the way down.

Dr. Thunder said he has not done a study on that type of frequency, but there are distinct components to skate boarding and certain skate boarding noises have been minimized due to the design of the skate board park. Sound barriers will also do a lot to reduce the high frequency content of the wheel noise.

Trustee Terman asked if a high frequency sound dissipated more rapidly in the air.

Dr. Thunder said yes, as high frequency sounds are more susceptible to attenuation through the atmosphere by wind and vegetation.

Trustee Terman asked if the skate park structures are insulated underneath.

Mr. Fyle said there is an insulating sound deadening layer below the skate surface.

Trustee Spillers asked if the proposed skate board park would be viewed as beginner, moderate or experienced.

Mr. Fyle said he would consider the proposed skate park as a beginner to intermediate level park.

Trustee Spillers asked if the noise was more excessive for beginner skaters or experienced skaters.

Dr. Thunder said experienced users would be on the skate board more, therefore they would generate more noise.

Trustee Basil said there is a letter from a resident that notes an abatement opportunity exists to make the flat concrete surfaces as smooth as reasonably possible. He asked if that would be considered in the design.

Mr. Fyle said skate park design includes the texture of the surface. A very light finish is the standard that is used for a skate park, which is less rough than a sidewalk surface.

Trustee Basil asked if a pre-cast concrete feature would be used for the proposed skate park.

Mr. Fyle said pre-cast concrete features are typically more expensive, but he will make inquiries to the manufacturers.

Trustee Spillers asked if there would be kids using the skate park all day long.

Mr. Porter said the hours of operation will be from 9 a.m. to sunset and the doors will then be locked.

Trustee Spillers asked if the skate park would be open during rain or snow.

Mr. Porter said if conditions at the skate park became unsafe, they would lock the park.

Trustee Terman asked if there would be professional monitoring of the park.

Mr. Porter said the recreation center manager at the Community Recreation Center would monitor the park regarding safety issues. This was an advantage to using this site.

Trustee Terman asked how many kids would be able to use the park.

Mr. Fyle said given the layout of the park, there would be approximately 6 people skating at a time.

President Canning noted the proposed fence was to be chain link. He asked if a wrought iron fence had been considered.

Mr. Porter said his suggestion would be a wrought iron fence along Skokie Boulevard but he believed a black, vinyl coated chain link fence would be more sturdy inside the park area.

President Canning declared a recess at 9:20 p.m.

President Canning brought the meeting back to order at 9:29 p.m.

Marlo Goldstein, 136 Maple Avenue, said she has been a big proponent of the proposed skate park. She has been working with the Park District and believes the skate park is something that is needed in the community.

Alex Litten, 1114 Lake A venue, said he has been working for the past three years for the proposed skate park. He does not believe noise will be an issue.

Trustee Terman asked if Alex believed the skaters would just skate exclusively in the park if there was a skate park.

Alex Litten said skaters would rather skate in a park than on the streets or sidewalks. Currently, kids who like to skate board have to spend their money on public transportation to be able to skate at other skate parks.

President Canning asked if it would be difficult for kids living on the east side of the Village to travel to the west side of the Village to use the proposed skate park.

Alex Litten said he would rather skate board to the proposed skate park than have to travel to another suburb that has a skate park.

Karen Van Balen, 339 Romona Road, said she currently hears noise from the park and traffic from Skokie Boulevard. She believes the noise from the skate park will be louder than anticipated. She believes the skate park will be detrimental to the residents of Wilmette and urged the Village to keep the current green space and reduce noise pollution.

Graham Crosh, 2339 Thomwood, said he has been skateboarding for the past four years. He said there are many kids who skate board in the Village and he enjoys the activity.

Trustee Swanson said the Park District is considering a berm of five feet along the skate board park, and encouraged them to build the berm as high as possible for the area. He asked how high the asphalt would be on the other side of the skate park.

Robert Hamilton, Gewalt, Hamilton & Associates engineer, said the asphalt would be slightly higher than it currently is. They would not be able to lower the proposed skate park due to the existing storm water system and that is why they would build up a berm.

11


Trustee Swanson said if parking restrictions were put in place on the side streets surrounding the Park District, would the Park District be confident there would be sufficient parking at the site.

Mr. Hamilton said the Community Recreation Center currently has a minimum parking vacancy of 10%, therefore he did not believe parking would be an issue.

Trustee Watt said she is at the Community Recreation Center several times per day with her children and has never had a problem parking. She said there is a problem with the flow of traffic and there is nowhere to wait while picking up children.

Trustee Terman said one of the expectations of the skate park is that parents may drop off and pick up their children. She asked where the anticipated drop-off and pick-up area would be.

Mr. Hamilton said he anticipates the drop-off and pick-up area will be the closest aisle to the proposed skate park.

Mr. Porter said the entrance drive would be on the west side of the proposed skate park and there is a secondary drive on the south side of the proposed skate park. He believed the traffic flow would be very good past the proposed skate park.

Trustee Watt said she does not like the look of the chain link fence and would like to see something else used.

Mr. Porter said the design is preliminary and they will consider something else, but price is an issue in the project.

Trustee Terman said a fence will be needed that will absorb the weight of a child that is not able to stop.

Mr. Porter said that is a concern of the Park District and if chain link fencing is used they will go with a darker color to fit in better with the area.

Charlene Holtz, attorney for the Park District, said the Park District will have to consult with their risk management agency to make sure they use the safest design.

President Canning said if the skate park goes forward, how will the Park District solicit input from the neighbors.

12


Mr. Porter said the Park District will work with the neighbors on the berm, vegetation and final design issues if the basic plan is approved. The Park District believes the plan, if approved, meets the standards ofreview for a 12 decibel variation.

President Canning said from his experience with other issues in the Village, Mr. Porter is quite responsive to neighbors ' issues. He encouraged the Park District and neighbors to work together.

Mr. Porter said they will certainly work with the leadership of the residents who have concerns with the proposed skate park.

President Canning asked if Mr. Porter knew what the annual use of the other communities' skate parks was.

Mr. Porter said other communities do not keep track of use but they do keep track of major injuries or lawsuits. There have been no major lawsuits over the past 20 years with the 61 surrounding communities that have skate parks.

President Canning asked for public comment from those who were in favor of the proposed skate park.

Betsy Sillers, 1507 Washington, said she is an elementary school teacher and on mornings before school she usually sees 6-8 kids on skate boards on the playground. She believed the proposed skate park would be beneficial to an up and coming age group of children.

Tim Frost, 909 Seneca, said the process for the proposed skate park has been long and extensive, involving many public meetings. The application focuses on parking and noise. Typically, skaters are dropped off at the skate park and picked up later. Skaters will also skate board to the skate parks or take public transportation. He also noted that the skate park will be between two busy roads, Skokie Boulevard and the Edens Expressway, therefore skate park noise should not have an impact. He urged the Board to support the request.

Mark Litten, 1114 Lake A venue, said if the skate park is built, there will not be a large amount of traffic or overuse of the park as the focus of kids is not to go to the same place every day. He believes the proposed skate park will be appreciated beyond words by the kids who have waited for so long.

13


Trustee Basil asked if skate boarding (participation) at a park was self limiting.

Mr. Litten said if there is over crowding, skate boarding is not fun and does not work well.

Trustee Terman wondered ifthere was a need for an adult presence at the proposed skate park.

Ms. Goldstein said she has never been to a monitored skate park. It is understood by skate boarders that they do not do things they do not think they can handle.

Trustee Spillers asked if there would be a benefit to where the proposed skate park will be located.

Ms. Goldstein said yes, the proposed site will be beneficial as the Community Recreation Center will have bathrooms, air conditioning and phones if needed.

Jim Brault, 2619 Kenilworth, said he is a member of the Park Board. He said the Park Board voted 7-0 to have a skate park. There has been a lot of discussion on where to build the park. He said the Park District provides programming and organized activities for children. He said one thing they do not provide as much is services to kids who do not like to be in an organized environment. A skate board park is an opportunity to provide something that does not exist in the community today and to allow children to express themselves.

Mark Weyermuller, 208 Lawndale, said he has been to many meetings over the past two years and believes there has been due diligence for the process. His son inline skates and he would like to see higher ramps, BMX bikes and scooters. He is in favor of the proposed skate park as he believes it will be a great benefit to the community.

Ms. Goldstein said both she and her brother are skate board instructors at surrounding communities. She said the Wilmette Park District would also be able to add skate board lessons to their class activities that are offered.

President Canning asked for public comment from those who were in opposition to the proposed skate park.

14

7110/07 Not yet approved

George Karagus, 319 Kilpatrick, said he is not against a skate park but he does not believe the proposed location is the right place for the skate park. The neighbors have had flooding issues over the years, and he believes the proposed skate park will add to the flooding issues. Mr. Karagus also believes the sound from the skate park will be an issue for the neighbors.

President Canning asked if Mr. Karagus' flooding has improved based on the sewer work that has been completed recently.

Mr. Karagus said there has not been a substantial rain for a few years so he can not answer the question. The drainage in the park is also a problem for the neighbors as well as flooding.

George Karkazis, 2932 Iroquois, said he is opposed to the proposed skate park location and believes there are larger parks in the Village that would be a better location.

Gary Ioffe, 240 Thelin Court, said he is opposed to the proposed skate park as he believes the noise of the skate park will be an issue for the neighbors. He also believes the children at the skate park should be supervised.

Joel Kurzman, 243 Valley View Drive, said he is opposed to the proposed location of the skate board park as he believes noise will be an issue for the neighbors. He has also been very discouraged by the process for the proposed skate park, noting some issues with the selection of this site. He urged the Board to vote against the proposed skate park as he believes it should be in a more secluded area.

Mr. Porter said the Park District noticed residents within 250 feet of the 13 acre Hibbard Park for the hearings regarding the proposed skate park. The skate park will give kids an opportunity to skate where there is a place designed for it. Mr. Porter said he has been the director for 35 years and has been through many issues that have generated community discussion and community disagreement. As he looks back at the issues, he believes the fear of the unknown has ended up being worse than what the reality of the issue has been. The Park Board Commissioners live in the Village also and face a difficult decision in a relatively land locked community regarding where to build a desired community amenity. The Park District will work with the neighbors regarding the final design of the proposed skate park. Mr. Porter said the kids who skate board are good kids from the community and believes they will be responsible in taking care of the skate board

15


park. He does not believe the proposed skate park will have a negative impact on the community and urged the Board to grant their request.

Trustee Spillers asked if skate board park classes would generate income for the Park District.

Mr. Porter said classes could generate income but the revenue would be minimal.

Trustee Terman said she did not believe that a secluded area would be the best place for the proposed skate park in terms of monitoring the skate park.

Mr. Porter said the Park District will build a berm and landscape the area for the neighbors but would also like to have some visibility into the park.

Mr. Kurzman said he does not believe other communities have problems with the skate parks in secluded areas. He believes that everything should be done to keep neighbors from being negatively impacted from the sound.

Ms. Holzman said she would like to stress that the testimony that was presented to the ZBA regarding noise was measured in accordance with the Village's ordinance in the environmental section. The Park District is complying with the standards articulated in the Zoning Ordinance. She noted that relevant testimony is testimony by individuals who possess special expertise as opposed to testimony that reflects a matter of taste, personal opinion or speculation. She noted that there has been absolutely no evidence presented by persons with specialized expertise to suggest that the addition of the recreation equipment to the actively used 13 acre park is likely to create an impact that is substantially inconsistent with the character of the surrounding area.

Trustee Swanson said it is his opinion that the Park District knows their mission and he believes they are correct in their mission to have a skate park. He agrees that there should be a skate park. He also believes that the Park District went through a series of meetings and reached a conclusion regarding what they thought was the right thing to do in terms of a location. The ZBA agreed with the Park District's conclusion regarding location of the proposed skate park and he has not seen any hard evidence to the contrary. He said Dr. Thunder's testimony answered his questions regarding noise and how it would affect the neighborhood. He believed there should be a berm and he would like to see the berm built as high as possible. He also believes sufficient parking is available at the proposed site and that the request should be granted.

16


Trustee Watt said she appreciates that all comments have been polite and to the point. She does not believe that flooding will be an issue in regard to the proposed skate park as it will not add any paved surface. In regard to sound, she personally prefers to hear kids on skate boards rather than the sound of traffic. She does believe skate boarding is a legitimate sport and believes it is also appropriate for kids to be on skate boards on the sidewalk as a means of transportation. On a personal note, she believes the skate park could be located somewhere else but that is not the issue in front of the Board. The skate park plans are conceptual and the final plans will be submitted once the Park District has completed the variation process. This is no different from other plans and variations that are submitted and go through the process. She believes the skate park is a good thing to do, it will be a community asset, and she supports the request.

Trustee Levin said the discussions and arguments for the request have been reasonably presented. He said the Village Board is only considering a zoning matter and he agrees with the ZBA's positive recommendation. Once another legislative body does something, it becomes accepted. The net result in the community is a benefit and the net detriment to the people who are around it does not turn out to be as significant as may be thought.

Trustee Terman said in terms of noise and parking, she agrees with Ms. Dalman's comments from the ZBA report that "she was convinced by the preponderance of evidence and that she took the expert information that was provided as something which she believed was going to be sufficiently mitigating to the concerns of the neighbors that they would not be injured". From all the reading and listening that she has done, it is her belief that creating the proposed skate park will not be injurious, that there are physical features that will be constructed to mitigate the noise, the parking will be complimentary and the shared use in a parking lot makes enormous sense to her. She believes if there is not a negative sound equation and if there are not people parking additionally on community streets, there will not be a negative impact on the neighbors. She believes the proposed skate park will be an attractive and useful addition to the community.

Trustee Spillers said the expert testimony has been well received by her. She has a son who skate boards and she has been to many skate parks. The issues before the Board are parking and noise and she believes the experts regarding the parking and noise issues. She supports the petitioner's request.

17


Trustee Basil thanked the neighbors for their perseverance and dedication to the issue. He also noted the issues before the Board are noise and parking. The Park District has said they will address the neighbors' concerns and accept further input from the neighbors. He believes the proposed berm will have significant impact on the area. He supports the petitioner's request.

President Canning thanked all those who participated in the process and wrote letters and emails. With respect to the parking and noise variations, he believes the zoning elements have been met. With respect to the special use request, he believes the presumptions have been met at the proposed location but believes they could have been met elsewhere. The members of the Park Board have had meetings and public hearings and have decided that Hibbard Park is the best location for the proposed skate park. The Park District has marshaled their facts, presented their evidence and made their case. He supports the request.

JUL - 3 2007 Temporary Use Handbook

To: Lisa Roberts & Wilmette Community Development Department. From: St. Joseph Oktoberfest Market & Family Festival Committee.

Re: Temporary use permit for Saturday, September 15th, 2007 Liquor Permit for Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Lisa,

Thank you for your help in previous years. Below please find a synopsis of this year's event as well as how we are prepared to address several items on the "Temporary Use Checklist". This year's event will essentially follow the same format as the last three years.

The "St. Joseph Oktoberfest Market and Family Festival" is a one-day event to be held on Saturday, September 15th on the St. Joseph School property at the comer of Lake A venue and Ridge Road. From 9am to 4pm there will be an Oktoberfest Market set up in the school parking lot. Approximately 50 vendors will be present to sell items such as antique furniture, accessories, vintage jewelry, garden items etc ... This market is open to the community at no charge. From lOam to 3:30pm many children's activities will be available at the adjacent "Family Festival" including pitching cages with a radar gun, face painting, and other games. Food and drink will be available with an "Oktoberfest" theme -brats, hot dogs, pretzels etc ... while people listen to live entertainment under the tent in the playground of the school.

In order to ensure the safety of all, there will be no vehicular traffic allowed in or out of the school parking lot. Parking will be accommodated primarily in two locations: St. Joseph Church parking lot across the street and Terry Porter has given us preliminary approval to use whatever parking is available down the street at the Mallinckrodt campus. (This is dependant on the ongoing construction schedule there).

The evening portion of the event is the adult-only festival to be held from 6pm to Midnight. Many of our guests will attend the Saturday Mass at 5pm at the Church and then walk across the street for dinner and dancing. Anyone over the age of 21 is welcome to attend. The Oktoberfest dinner and party will be held in the school gym as well as under the tent on the East side of the School. Approximately 750 guests are expected to enjoy live music, dinner and beer/wine/soda/water. Rather than using money, tickets will be . sold both in advance and at the door and used as currency. .-·

I

As before, beer will be sold during the day from 1 lam to 4pm and in the evening from 6pm to Midnight. Only adult St. Joseph volunteers will be allowed to serve beer and wine. During the day, everyone Oktoberfest patron requesting alcohol will be 'carded' to ensure they legal drinking age of21 years or older. In the evening no one under 21 will be permitted to attend.

The event has a Safety committee committed to providing a family-oriented, clean, legal and safe environment thoughout the day and evening. A representative from that committee will hire an off-duty Wilmette Police Officer for the evening as well as offer free rides home to anyone requesting such or in need of assistance.

We therefore request the Village of Wilmette's permission to grant a Temporary use permit and a Liquor License for Saturday, September 15th 2007.

Should you have any questions or require clarification, please feel free to contact me at (847) 570 9566. Thank you again for helping us make this such a successful and enjoyable event.

Yours Sincerely,

Anne McKieman St. Joseph Oktoberfest Committee Co-chair.

Case 2007-SZC-7 Village Code Amendments Regarding Filming Temporary Use Requirements

Recommendation

Introduction and subsequent adoption of ordinance 2007-0-55 amending Chapter 5 and Chapter 20 of the Village Code regarding commercial filming temporary uses.

Background

In 2004, the Village issued six temporary use permits for filming. Of these six, three were commercials, one was a student film, and two were feature films where filming took place over the course of three days and five days. Before 2004, the last feature film in Wilmette was in 2000. Though all filming requests take some staff time, staff found from this most recent experience that feature films take significantly more time because of pre-production planning, notice revision, and coordination once filming is under way.

The Village currently charges a $100 application fee, which is typically waived for student productions. Applicants are also charged a per-day fee for partial or full right-of-way closures and are charged the time-and-a-half rate for police officers, public works employees, and the direct costs for water usage and other materials.

Temporary use requests for filming are subject to review by the Village Board, as stated in Section 20-6.5.3 of the Zoning Ordinance. There is no ordinance outlining the process for filming applications; the Village has a policy handbook that incorporates the application and filming requirements.

In early 2005, the staff began review of the current filming policy and paperwork. On February 28, 2006, the Village Board appointed the Land Use Committee sitting as a Special Zoning Committee to review the filming temporary use process.

Discussion

In 2004, Wilmette hosted two feature filming shoots. In July, "Dee Dee Rutherford" was filmed for five days over a one week period. In November, "Derailed" was filmed for three days within a one week period. "Dee Dee Rutherford" was a relatively low-budget production that was moderately well-run. "Derai led" was a higher-budget production from Miramax with professional staff. Our experience with these two projects highlighted the need to consider changes to our filming approval process.

All fi lming temporary use requests require staff to process the application, ensuring that the applicant has completely li sted all information pertaining to dates, times, and locations of filming and supplied information on the number of people and number and type of vehicles involved, where vehicles will park, where lunch and staging will take place, a description of partial and full street and sidewalk closures, and police and other staffing needs, and making sure the applicant has submitted the hold harmless agreement, certificate of insurance, and letter(s) of authorization from the property .owner(s).

Staff then determines a notice area for the applicant and prepares the notice, affidavit form, and notice list. This is very subjective, based on staffs estimate of the area impacted by the filming. The applicant delivers the notice, which has a deadline for objections, and then submits an affidavit affirming the notice was done. Staff notifies the Village Manager if any objections are received. Once the deadline has passed, the applicant is notified that the Manager has approved the filming. In the last five years, no objections have been filed prior to filming that would require Village Board approval of the request.

These steps are typical regardless of the size or nature of the filming. With the two feature films in 2004, staff spent a significant amount of time with the applicants in addition to the time to process the application. Both feature films required off-duty police officers for traffic control. Both films required street closures. Both films required "no parking" signs to be posted. The filming in November also required the temporary removal of street signs and some rescheduling of leaf pickup, which required additional noti cing of the residents in the area. While the time spent with staff ensured that the filming went smoothly, it resulted in staff spending much more time than was compensated for with a $100 application fee. Officer and public works staff time was compensated, but meeting and review time was not.

During the fi lming of "Derailed," a resident called about the impact of the filming. She inquired. about the benefit to the Village of permitting fi lming. She did not feel that the $100 application fee was a reasonable economic benefit to the Village in relation to the nuisance caused by street closures and parking inconveniences. This concern is another reason why staff is recommending changes to the filing policy.

2

Staff estimates spending approximately three hours on administration of a typical filming application. With the filming of "Derailed", a significant amount of additional time was spent in meeting with the location manager and crew. Two village staff members spent the better part of five hours as the crew went from location to location planning the shoot. This resulted in a more complete understanding of what was requested of the Village and allowed for an interactive review of the plans. Also, several representatives from public works, police, engineering, and fire attended a one-hour meeting with the location manager once the plans were finalized. Community Development spent an additional two hours with subsequent changes to the schedule and preparing for renotification. This resulted in approximately 21 hours of staff time total spent on this production. Again, the location manager was very professional and accommodating and the production went very smoothly, but to accomplish this took significantly more staff time than is typically required for commercials or student filming. Several communities take a deposit or otherwise subsequently bill for staff time. We can consider this, thought staff does not recommend it at this time as it leads to more time spent tracking hours and billing or refunding deposits and it may di scourage an applicant from meeting with staff as the film schedule evolves. Again, the majority of filming applications do not require a significant amount of staff time.

At the Village's request, the North West Municipal Conference surveyed members about their regulations, fees, notice requirements, and approval of filming requests. Out of twenty respondents, nine member communities regulate filming_ with a formal process. From this survey, it is recommended that an application fee separate from a permit fee be charged, consistent with other communities. It is also recommended that fees be increased for partial and total right-of-way closures, consistent with other communities.

As an example; "Derailed" required total street closure on several streets for 12 hours at a time for three days. They were charged $50 x 3 = $150. Using the proposed fees, the Village could have charged 12 x $75 x 3 = $2,700. We could charge more if we were to interpret the fee as closure per street. Again, I believe this better addresses concerns that the Village be properly compensated for the nuisance of filming. ·

The following summarizes the changes contained in the proposed ordinance.

Page 4 A new "Permit Required" section has been added, stating that a permit is required for filming and providing for specific exceptions.

A new "General Permit Application Requirements" section has been added, clearly stating the necessary requirements. This more clearly lists the materials required in addition to a complete application.

A "Minimum Processing Period" has been added requiring at least ten business days notice. It is very common for small productions and students to contact the Village less than a week in advance of filming. This creates a burden for staff to react quickly to accommodate a schedule. With a stated minimum processing time, applicants will know what to expect.

A "Certificate oflnsurance" section clearly states the requirements for this submittal.

3

A new "Certification of Neighborhood Notice/Objections" section has been added, clearly_ outlining the notice area and necessary notice steps.

A new "Property Owner Approval" section has been added. There is a place on the application for the applicant to sign their approval. This section requires that this be done or that a letter be submitted from the owner.

Page 7 A new "Permit Decisions" section has been added. Currently, the Village Manager is permitted to authorize any filming, with requests that are objected to being heard by the Village Board. The proposed text allows the Director of Community Development to approve any filming five days or less in duration. This parallels the general temporary use requirement in that any event lasting more than five days is subject to Village Board approval.

A new section "Permit Fees" sets forth a fee schedule related to the duration of the proposed filming and provides the Village Manager with the discretion to waive permit fees for student and non-profit permit applicants.

Pages 7-8

I ' I

Two new sections for "Costs for Use of Village Personnel" and "Cost of Use of Village Property" have been added. These sections clearly identify the permitted use and applicable surcharges for staff time and the proposed increased fees for use of the right-of-way as described above.

Page 8 A new "Permit Conditions" section has been added. This section identifies the basic conditions of the filming permit. Included here are "Hours of Film Production" which are to be match those for construction. The Village Manager is given authority and discretion to allow filming outside the stated hours.

A $1,000 deposit is now required in addition to a certificate of insurance to give the Village some funds for minor repair or clean up upon completion of the filming, if not completed by the applicant.

Page 9 A new "Emergency Access" section provides an explicit condition that the permittee immediately comply with any orders from the police department that may be deemed necessary. Glenview and Winnetka both have a similar section in their ordinance to reserve this right.

A new "Revocation of Permit" section codifies a condition staff has placed on recent feature film approvals . The Village retains the right to revoke a filming permit if the applicant is in violation of their approval.

A new "General Penalty" section has been added to provide for a penalty for violations of the ordinance.

4

A separate amendment to Chapter 20 is necessary to clarify that Chapter 5 regulates commercial film production. The proposed ordinance removes any reference to the procedures for commercial fi lming and refers instead to the appropriate new section of Chapter 5.

Trustee Watt moved to recommend the draft amendments to appearance review standards regarding native plant materials, Ordinance # 2007-0-(# to be determined), Trustee Swanson seconded the motion and the ayes were unanimously in favor.

Discussion of Filming Temporary Use Requirements Review possible amendments to the Village Code concerning filming temporary use requirements.

Chairman Levin thought it was just fine, Trustee Swanson said he would charge per block and if the fee seemed excessive it could be adjusted.

Trustee Watt thought public buildings should be included.

Trustee Swanson said the fee for the public buildings could be determined on a case by case basis and that could relate to how much filming was to be done.

Mr. Frenzer suggested it read public buildings required a separate agreement.

There was agreement.

Trustee Watt questioned the overall applicability of this ordinance.

Chairman Levin asked if they wanted to exempt not-for-profit and for schools to the extent that they did not interfere with the public way.

Mr. Frenzer suggested limiting the applicability to commercial filming where it involved use of or obstruction of public right-of-way or public property.

Ms. Roberts said that occasionally Northwestern requested a filming permit using eight or ten people and six to ten cars, which was physically not a big production but could be a small mob of people, and wanted to close a sidewalk.

Trustee Watt wanted the film permit for any filming causing obstructions and commercial productions.

Chairman Levin asked staff if they wanted any firm limitations, such as, "no street shall be closed for more than four hours, no filming in excess of eight business days", something that gave a negotiating position, because blocking a street for a day and a half was a long time. Another suggestion was to have the consent of the Village Manager for the blockage of streets.

Trustee Watt agreed.

Mr. Frenzer said a street that might be closed for a certain number of days would need to be open between certain hours of the day.

Chairman Levin questioned nighttime filming with lights and asked if they wanted to allow weekend filming.

c:_pril 13, 2007 Land Use Committee Minutes 3 Approved May 24, 2007

There was consensus that nights and weekends would require special consideration and agreement that other filming would be done during construction hours.

Trustee Watt suggested they charge an hourly fee for the parking signs that were required to be taken down and put up each day.

Ms. Roberts said that was covered in an administrative charge.

Trustee Watt moved to recommend to the Village Board the filming temporary use requirements, Trustee Swanson seconded the motion and the ayes were unanimous.

7) Other Business

Mr Lytle said he had just built his first house and was planning to build a second house. He had a picture of a house in Kenilworth that he said could not be · built in Wilmette because the porch bonus required the porch to be as wide as 50% of the front of the house and in front of the front fagade and he showed them porches that would meet the bonus requirements and ones that would not.

Chairman Levin said the application of the bonuses was high on their list of things to do.

Mr. Lytle said there were some things that should be avoided and told them about a house on Central where the front part of the porch was too far forward to look right.

Trustee Swanson said they had received Mr. Lytle's e-mail with questions about trees which he believed were essentially covered in the way they had written the ordinance.

Trustee Watt felt those things were in the ordinance, as well.

Trustee Watt asked the status of site maintenance code enforcement.

Ms. Roberts said a report was being prepared by staff, would first be reviewed by Mike Earl, and then forwarded to the Board by the end of the week.

Trustee Watt said she would like a report once a month and did not know why the factual report needed to be reviewed.

There was agreement to put the tracking of complaints on their pending matters list.

Chairman Levin requested that web-based filing of complaints be on their "to do" list.

Ms. Roberts asked for the Committee's feedback on a building permit request for a retaining wall. There was agreement that the request would require a variation.

8) Adjournment

Trustee Swanson moved to adjourn at 10:51 a.m., Trustee Watt seconded the motion and the approval was unanimous.

*5) Case 2007-SZC-07 - Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance regarding Temporary Use Requirements for Commercial Filming

Chairman Swanson noted that they had clarified the language in 5-7.

Trustee Levin moved to recommend the proposed text to the Village Board, Trustee Watt seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. This item will be introduced to the Village Board on July 10, 2007.

Chairman Swanson noted for the record that no guests attended the public hearing.

Ms. Roberts questioned filming before or after hours. The commission wanted requests for after or before those hours reviewed by Mr. Earl, the Village Manager.

Ms. Roberts said students and not-for-profit organizations were currently exempt from having filming permits.

The Committee thought a permit should be required, but the fee might be waived by Mr. Earl. Ms. Roberts was asked to check with him and Mr. Frenzer, Corporation Counsel, regarding this. ·

Chairman Swanson thought the fees might also be reduced so this would give them latitude to deal with it appropriately depending on the extent of the impact of the filming.

Chairman Swanson closed the public hearing session of the meeting.

6) Discussion of Time Table and Contents of Zoning Ordinance Review

Chairman Swanson asked that the Committee review the list of possible consultants to invite in and the Committee agreed to invite Camiros, Ltd. (Chicago), The Lakota Group (Chicago), Farr Associates (Chicago), and Thompson Dyke and Associates (Chicago).

The Committee reviewed the draft invitation to the consultants. Trustee Watt suggested wording to clarify the purpose of the consultant's participation and the Committee agreed to incorporate in the letter the list of five key issues identified by Chairman Swanson at the May 24, 2007 meeting.

The Committee asked that the full list of policy issues be updated to include a reference to zon ing interpretations and attach the list from a memo prepared by staff.

7) Discussion of Building Code Updates - to be continued

This item is to be discussed at the next Land Use Committee meeting on July 13, 2007.

Date: July 18, 2007


From: Lisa Roberts, Director of Community Development

Subject: Ordinance 2007-0-60


Case 2007-SZC-8 Amendment Zoning Ordinance Regarding Printing and Photocopying Establishments

Recommendation

The Land Use Committee recommends that the Village Board take the following actions at its regular meeting on July 24, 2007:

1. Introduce ordinance 2007-0-60 amending the Zoning Ordinance regarding printing and photocopying establishments.

2. Waive the rules to allow adoption of Ordinance 2007-0-60 at the same meeting at which it is introduced.

3. Adopt Ordinance 2007-0-60.

Background

In late May 2007, Damon Evenstad of the Kenilworth Press contacted the Village about his new Wilmette location at 1223 Green Bay Road, which is zoned NR, Neighborhood Retail Business District. The Kenilworth Press, Inc. to occupy the space located at 1223 Green Bay Road The Kenilworth Press, Inc. operations consist of photocopying and offset printing of black, white, and full color documents. The business also has a printing press, however all processes are digital in nature and do not involve photo chemicals for any of their procedures. Currently, printing establishments are not permitted or special uses within the NR zoning district.

Mr. Damon Evenstad, of The Kenilworth Press, Inc. requested that the Village Board review the NR, Neighborhood Retail Business District 's li st of permitted uses for the inclusion of copy and print shops. On June 12, 2007, the Village Board appointed the Land Use Committee as a

Special Zoning Committee to review printing uses in the NR district. Mr. Evenstad has been allowed to store his equipment and supplies in the space while the matter is under review.

Discussion

The definition of cleaning, pnntmg, and processing establishments specifically includes blueprinters, photocopy centers, printshops. Cleaning, printing, and processing establishments are not either a permitted or special use in the Neighborhood Retail district. Staff believes that these uses have not been allowed in NR because of the use of chemicals inherent in the processes so defined.

According to Mr. Evenstad, many of the tasks commonly associated with printing and photocopy shops have migrated to a more digital environment where there is less of a reliance on chemical inks. All of the operations at The Kenilworth Press, Inc. involve the use of digital technology for printing and photocopying.

Because the nature of printing establishments has evolved away from chemical processes, the Land Use Committee is recommending that printing and photocopying establishments be separately defined and made a special use in the NR zoning district. In order to meet the proposed definition to be considered for an NR location, the proposed definition only allows for printing and photocopying establishments that emit no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).

Along with the new use category is a proposed parking requirement of 1 space per 300 square feet, consistent with office uses.

It is requested that the Village Board waive the rules and allow for adoption of the ordinance at the same meeting as the introduction. The request is being made to facilitate the establishment of Kenilworth Press in their new location at 1223 Green Bay Road. If the ordinance is approved, Kenilworth Press will be before the Zoning Board of Appeals on August 1, 2007 to request a special use to operate their business.

Ms. Clark of the Department of Community Development last Friday suggested that I put into writing our request to move The Kenilworth Press, Inc., a copy-print shop operating since 1973 on Green Bay Road in Kenilworth, to our newly rented location at 1223 Green Bay Road, Wilmette.

We are closing the sale of our Kenilworth building on Thursday, June 7, 2007, at which time we are required, under the terms of the sale, to have completely vacated the premises in Kenilworth.

We currently have many customers in Wilmette. Among them the ·wilmette Chamber of Commerce, Terry Animal Hospital, Scandia Catering and also the Villige ofWilmete. We have been a member of the Wilmette Chamber of Com.merce for many years.

We obviousl)' need a swift approval of our request to move to our new location, and we appreciate the expediting of our request.

Sincerely, ~ ~

A New Plate l\1aking System for Quick Printing AppJications.

877-596-5211 847-256-5210 Fax 256-5279

From its founding in 1973 the Kenilworth Press, an instant print shop in Kenilworth, IIJinois had

worked to solve a problem shared by aIJ instant print shops. The problem was "How can a commercial

ly acceptable screened and line copy image be produced and printed at a cost much lower than the way

used by commercial printers, who deal in larger quantity runs, and ~an afford to pass along higher set-up

fees to their customers?"

Now, the staff of the Kenilworth Press has discovered a new kind of printing plate and named it

the "Ken-Tone™" plate. This proprietary formula paper plate is reinforced with plasticizers which elim

inate stretch during the press run. United States patents in connection with the new plate were applied for

in 1995 and granted in- 1998.

The ad,1antages of our system over other systems are:

• Eliminates plate processing liquid chemistry.

• No process dark room camera or plate making camera is required.

•The plate is white in color

•The preferred fountain solution, PPcleanH, is an extra concentrated, cyanide-free,

biodegradable pollution-free Etch/Fountain solution.

• Uses low or non-petroleum blanket washes.

• Uses Acrylic Oil base inks, any color. Also works with rubber base and metalic inks.

• Capital investment can be less than $20,000.

A new color copier is $15,000 - $30.000.

A used color copier is $5,000 to $8,000.

A RIP (Raster lmage Processor) - enables the post-scriptrM files from any desk top computer to be printed through the copier, sells for $2,000 - $5,000 (used) .

• Your cost per 11x18.5 plate is $1.10 each for 200 plates, and $1.20 each for 100 plates. Plates can be trimmed down to 8.5x 11 for card and envelope jobs, cutting costs in half.

• Plates may be imaged as a conventional copy of an original on the platen of the copier, or by utilizing standard desktop computers, networks and RIP's.

•The platemaker also serves as a digital color copier.

• The digital image runs 10,000 plus impressions, and provides an automatic half-tone screen of 200 lines plus.

Prints perfect line copy and large solids with NO background toning.

Beautiful background screen tints.

Remarkable photo reproduction.

Two principal types of stand alone digital "computer to plate" systems are available today.

1. A polyester electrostatic plate is imaged on a special digital laser printer.

Background "scatter" toning is an ongoing problem with these systems. Supplied cleaners and

polishing compounds are messy, time consuming, less than adequate and will compromise the

gray scale images.

2. A silver halide coated paper or polyester plate is digitally imaged, then developed

in two liquid chemical baths, developer and stablilizer. Some systems also have a rinse water

bath. All liquid and solid waste MUST be disposed of properly and disposal MUST be

properly documented. This is expensive <mainiainancetsupplies) and time consuming <adminis trative).

The expensive liquid chemistry, EPA approved disposal of the spent chemistry, and cost of plates can be

cost prohibitive to a small Print/Copy Shop. Either of these systems requires a capital machine

investment of about $50,000 (typically a lease·buy over 60 months).

Ken-Tone™ plate making eliminates a11 of the chemical/maintenance/disposal expenses associated with

stand alone systems. The Ken-Tone"' plate contains plasticizers which eliminate vertical stretch. The

black image toner also contains plasticizers. As the imaged plate exits the copier these plasticized ele

ments merge , passing through the hydrophillic surface coating of the plate into the paper substrate in a

heat seal process of over 300°F. This makes the Ken-Tone plate unique in the industry in image quality

and durability.

When you purchase a supply of Ken-ToneTM plates, you are authorized by The Kenilworth Press to use

those plates as described in the attached instruction sheets. Using any other similar plate in thi s manner

would infringe our patent rights. All Ken-Tone™ printed signatures leave a distinct "Foot Print", easily

identified under a loop. There is nothing like it in the market place. Ken-Tone™ plates are readily avail

able by fax or phone, with same day UPS shipment. We welcome you to the wonderful world of Ken

Tone ™. Thank you for your order.

Sincerely,

the Copier Search - Ken-Tone™ Team

The Kenilworth Press is a proud supporter of the

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Wilmette Harbor Flotilla.

Case 2006-Z-74 1314-1318 \Vilmette Avenue

STAFF INFORJ\1A TJON AS PRESENTED TO THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS

Description of Property

The Subject Property is located on the north side of Wilmette A venue, approximately 164.5' west of Park A venue. The property has 100' of frontage on Wilmette A venue and a depth of 250'. The Subject Property is 25,000 square feet in area. The property is currently occupied by one singlefamily home and one legal nonconforming two-family dweJJing.

The properties to the north, south, east and west are zoned R2, Townhouse Residence. To the east and west are legal nonconforming two-family dweJJings. To the north and south are single-family dwellings. The single-family home at 1323 Central A venue, immediately north of the Subject Property, is also the subject of a townhouse development request.

On March 7, 2007, the Zoning Board of Appeals heard a request for townhouses on the subject property. This request was for a special use to aJJow more than one townhouse building on a Jot, a special use to allow a townhouse development where four ( 4) of the townhouse units do not front on a street, a 25.0 ' combined side yard setback variation, a 2.0' rear yard setback variatiop; 2.0' side yard parking space :;etback variation, a 3.0' side yard parking space setback variation and a 5.0' rear yard parking space setback variation to permit the construction of seven (7) townhouses in two (2) buildings. The Zoning Board voted to recommend denying the request. At the ViJJage Board meeting on April 24, 2007, the applicant requested to be remanded to the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Village Board consented with the understanding that the applicant would be altering his proposal by removing any variation requests. This propos'aJ conforms to the requirement for remand that no variations be requested.

Proposal

The petitioner is requesting a special use to permit a townhouse with more than four units in a building, a special use to permit more than one townhouse building on a Jot, and a special use to permit five (5) townhouse units not fronting on a street to allow the construction of seven (7) townhouses in two (2) buildings.

The petitioner is seeking to construct seven (7) townhomes in two (2) buildings on the subject property. The development wiJJ consist of five (5) units in Building "A" and two (2) units in Building "B". All units wiJJ contain three bedrooms and will be provided with two-car garages. The Zoning Ordinance establishes townhouse developments with more than one building on a Jot as a special use. The Zoning Ordinance also establishes townhouses not fronting on a street as a special use. The Zoning Ordinance establi shes townhouse buildings with more than four units as a special use. Because the proposed development will have two buildings on a Jot, with one building containing five units not fronting a street (Building "A"), special uses are required.

The proposed townhouses would conform to the setback, height, floor area, impervious surface, and fence requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

1) The Public Works Department wi11 require the insta11ation of a 2-W' galvanized steel pipe under the driveway, 2' back of the curb at a depth of 24" and extending 1.5' east and west of the driveway to accommodate location of the street lighting cables. This will 'allow for maintenanc~ and repair of the cables without damage to the driveway.

2) The alley is a tight fit for Fire Department vehicles. Because the proposed buildings would be difficult to fu])y access from either the a11ey or Wilmette A venue, the applicant must provide automatic fire suppression within each unit of the development.

3) Stormwater best management practices sha11 be incorporated into the site plan.

4) A11 exterior building and site improvements, signage, and landscaping will require Appearance Review Commission approval.

5) Any lighting provided for the site must not exceed 0.5 foot-candles at the Jot line. Steps shall be taken to minimize glare from such lighting to the maximum extent practicable, such as by orienting the lights away from abutting properties. An i11umination plan must be submitted showing the foot-candles at the Jot lines.

6) The height of the lights cannot exceed 18' if non-cutoff type fixtures are used or 35' if cutoff type fixtures are used.

7) Resolution 90-R-33 states that as a matter of Public Policy, the Vi1Jage does not favor sodium vapor lights and directs the Appearance Review Commission to discourage the use of these lights in exercising their functions under Section 20-4.9 of the Vi1Jage Code.

8) The following permits shall be obtained prior to construction: Grading, Right-of-way, Dumpster (if applicable), MWRDGC (jf applicable).

3.0 TESTIMONY, COMMENTS AND ARGUMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT

3.1 Persons appearing for the applicant

3.1 1 Mr. James Murray, attorney, representing the applicant

3.2 Summary of presentations

' 3.21 Ms. Roberts said that this is a request for a special use for a townhouse with more

than four units in a building, a special use .to permit more than one townhouse building on a Jot and a special use to permit five townhouse units not fronting on a street all to allow the construction of seven townhomes in two buildings . The Village Board will hear this case on July 24, 2007.

3.22 Mr. Murray commented that he and his clients have come before the Board on this case., They went to the Village Board regarding this project and the Board asked the applicant to appear before the ZBA another time. The applicant made this request.

This proposal has the same number of townhomes as the previous request. There were a series of exhibit shown at the first hearing and that were part of the case record at that time. These records included surveys, development plans, photos of the site, aerial photos and other documents that were marked admitted.

Tonight they plan to di scuss major changes to a similar proposal. The modifications are significant, but simple. They are curative of what the applicant sees as a barrier to approval for this development.

He showed the basic si te plan for the revised project. There are still two buildings and a garage with three structures on the site. The orientation of the project is virtually the same. There is a change in bui lding dimension because they moved one townhome unit from the rear to the front building. This expanded the front building by only 5'. The north/south dimensions on the interior of the building result in units that are narrower than what was originally proposed.

8

Case 2006-Z-74 1314-1318 \ViJmette Avenue

Side yard setbacks for the front building, access ways from Wilmette A venue and off the alley remained the same. The front yard setback remained the same. There are still garages. The number of parking spaces, as required, is 14 and they are providing 20 on site. The size of each individual unit is about the same as what was originally proposed. The units in the rear building are at about 2000 square feet. The units in the A building are somewhat larger. The price ranges will remain constant. The market niche will remain the same. The style and elements of the elevations are a replication of the original proposal. There are a few modifications on the rear building and along the front yards of the main building.

The changes include:

- Reconfiguration of the two buildings - One unit has moved from building B, that had three townhome units at the north end of the property, to become one of the five units in the group oftownhomes in building A, the larger structure on the site. - The distance between buildings A and B underwent a change intended to match the angle of the alley ingress and egress methodology. The rear building matches the alley angularity. · - Parking spaces on site have increased to 20 because on the alley, there are four spaces that would be visitor spaces. The lengthy drive from Wilmette A venue to the rear of the lot has two spaces for visitor parking. - Landscape materials are scarce on this proposal. That element is appropriate for the Site Plan Review committee to analyze later if the Board gives a positive recommendation for approval.

This proposal is one of the special uses intended for this residential district. This district characterizes itself by its label of single-family attached dwelling or townhome district because of its proximity to downtown shopping, transportation, the library and other elements that make up the central core of Wilmette.

The site was designed and developed in a manner that is consistent with the preservation of the general health, safety and welfare of the community and its residents . The particular use, because of its lengthy established intention for this district, will have no adverse impact on property values or the uses of property. By means of this specific style of development on this site, the residential singlefamily lots to the east and west can be redeveloped, if appropriate, for singlefamily residential use or by aggregation of another townhome development for purposes consistent with the R2 district.

There would be no interference with the free development of the site or the neighborhood. The necessary utilities, road access, drainage and other infrastructures already are in place.

9


Regarding the parking and traffic study, submitted in March 2007 and subject to many questions at the last hearing, they have submitted a memorandum from Land Strategies. This memo reviewed the modified site plan and indicated in a two-page memo that the proposed development will have no real impact on traffic conditions on Wilmette Avenue or the adjacent neighborhood.

The alley access is now only for two residences. The major access way is off of Wilmette Avenue and is consistent with the original plans and opinions expressed by Mr. Corcoran of Land Strategies. Staff also accepted and reviewed the plan regarding its capacity to accept emergency vehicles.

He talked about other standards for special use. One is the ingress/egress issue, which is addressed in the traffic report. The architectural style, method of dev"elopment, orientation of the southernmost unit to the Wilmette Street frontage suggests the character of the neighborhood and style of development is continued with the proposed development.

The project will not interfere with or impact any historical, architectural or environmental aspects that currently exist in the community or in this immediate area. They will honor and abide agreements made with Ms. Smith, neighbor to the west. They will add additional buffers/screens for her individual residence or any future development on that site.

Regarding five units within a structure and 'the proximity of the buildings as a means by which to add the additional standards, they believe that the configuration and huge side yard setbacks are more than sufficient to create the separation.

From the applicant's point of view, this reconfigured project meets the special use criteria. Messrs. Schwartz and Schiller are present to answer question. Mr. Heaney could not be at tonight's meeting.

3.23 Chairman Greenberger asked if moving the one townhouse from the back to the front, is privacy of future residents compromised.

Mr. Murray said they believe that separation between buildings A and B is sufficient. The configuration of the private backyards, particularly in the back building, is private space for those two residences. He is not sure if there has been a legal determination as to whether the townhome development will carry with it all of the property from the dividing line of the two units to the property line. He said that the rear space would be a common space for different uses. Each unit also has its own rear yard. That preservation enhances the value of the property and its usefulness.

10

Case 2006-Z-74 1314-1318 'Wilmette Avenue

There was another concern that he wanted to address. At one of the prior hearings, there was concern about the burden that a development of this type might impose upon nearby schools. His experience, based on his work in the past 20 years, suggests that townhome developments of this style and in this location are usual1y bought by those who have recently become couples and are in the early stages of their lives together or at the end of their lives together. He is personally familiar with several hundred townhouses and the numbers suggest that the burden is zero regarding substantial impact on the schools.

3.24 Ms. Romanek said she had a question about a Jetter the Board received. There was concern about people walking up and down the driveway. She asked if the applicant considered constructing a sidewalk for safety purposes.

Mr. Murray said they thought about it, but a designated sidewalk has little to no impact for that purpose. A concrete sidewalk would mean a digression of materials at a double expense. The sidewalk, in their opinion, is not a significant safety issue, does not seem to affect the utility of the property or the property's appearance. A sidewalk could detract from the property's appearance.

3.25 Ms. Romanek asked if the price points remained the same.

Mr. Murray indicated that the price points did remain the same. They are in the $700,000 range.

3.26 The Board had no additional questions for the applicant at this time.

3.27 Chairman Greenberger asked if there was anyone in the audience who wanted to speak in favor or against the current application.

(After section 4.0) 3.28 Mr. Murray said the applicant provided the Board with many opportunities to

approve the project. This was intended to be an R2 single family attached residential zone. This project moves in that direction. There are many opportunities for others in this neighborhood to decide to pursue a similar style of development or redevelopment for single-family detached purposes. They believe that the proposed development adds to the tax base of the community. It offers a chance for a diversity of housing that the community requires. They believe that the intentions with reference to this style of development will last for decades. They suggest that the project is well designed and will be well operated.

Regarding drainage issues, they have to submit plans to the Village for approval by the Vil1age and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District as a way to ensure that a repeat of current conditions does not continue.

11


They believe that their modifications make the project one that can be recommended to the Village Board.

3.29 Ms. Roberts said she put some emails and communications at Board members' places.

3 .30 Chairman Greenberger said that case evidence -was closed and asked a Board member to make a motion on the current application.

4.2 Summary of presentations

4.21 Ms. Tatosian said she supports the proposal. Her husband died 7 years ago, but they had always thought about developing the property. She finds it hard to keep up the two older homes alone. She lived in the Village for 35 years and raised her four children here. They had one car until the children got older. Everything is very convenient in that area so one can walk to most places in the Village Center. She believes that the development will be an enhancement. Wilmette is important to her and will always be a part of her life. She currently lives in Evanston because she inherited her family home when her father died.

12

Case 2006-Z-74 1314-1318 '¥ilmette Avenue

4.22 Mr. Gambacorta said his property is directly east of the proposed project. He distributed his comments to the Board. He commended the developers with their . new plan because it has no variations except for special use variations. He believes that the proposed plans are a cleaned up version of the original submittal.

He read his letter at the meeting. In summary, his family has owned the property at 1310 Wilmette A venue for 35+ years. They enjoyed the openness and green space. If the development is approved, the open field will be lost and neighboring properties will .appear more congested.

The property is mid-block with residential homes on both sides. If the project were not mid-block, it would make Jess of an impact on neighboring properties. He talked about other developments in the Village that were not mid-block. These properties negatively impact adjacent homes on only one side.

He believes that the development will appear disproportionate to the current neighborhood. At the last hearing, the neighbor to the west of the subject property said if approval was granted, then they would be in favor of building,,a similar project on the property to the west. There will be a domino effect ove'r time. He said that the R2 district on Wilmette A venue would soon have these large townhouse developments on both sides of the streets. When R2 was created, did the Village planners want this to happen?

If the development, as modified, got approval without variations, the buildings will be quite massive. He asked the Board to request that the developer reduce the overall height to a 30' maximum versus the 35' allowed. This will lessen the impad of reduced light on neighboring properties.

According to his survey, the east property line is 237' versus 240'. He asked for the name of the applicant's surveyor.

He is not sure if the traffic study was redone during peak traffic times during school hours.

As noted from a resident at 1323 Central A venue, storm water drainage is a problem in this area. The proposed development will increase imper\rious coverage via building footprints and driveways. The developer will have to keep all water runoff on his property. The water will have to be slowly released into a city storm sewer mainline. This can be best accomplished by an underground storm water detention vault. The vault is sized for a 100-year storm or more. It would have the appropriate outflow restrictor. The developer should be required to connect the outflow of the vault to the storm water sewer mainline wherever it is located. If the project were approved and the Village made this underground vault mandatory, such approval should be contingent on the developer agreeing to

13


install this type of vault as connected to the stonn sewer majn line.

Other water detention options are an open detention pond, which is unsightly. This should not be allowed, as it would detract from the neighborhood appearance.

He is opposed to the project in general because approval would set a precedent for future townhome developments along Wilmette A venue in the R2 district. He would favor 'single-family homes versus the proposed development or .a townhome development that does not require a special use pennit. If approval is given, the developer should reduce the overall building height to 30' so that the loss oflight to neighboring properties is minimized.

Mr. Murray asked Mr. Gambacorta if he lived in the Wilmette Avenue residence.

Mr. Gambacorta said his father owns the property on Wilmette A venue and he is representing his father.

4.23 Ms .. Gaskill wrote a recent letter. She agrees with many of the previous speaker's comments. This project will impact property values whether or not one lives in the residence. She said that alternate development in the area was referred to as single-family homes. The district is R2 so the alternate development would be two residences on one piece of property.

A Mr. Bill Laubach and his grandson stopped by her house recently. Th~y lived in Florida and wanted to see the history of Mr. Laubach's life of 87 years. Her family bought their house from this man. The house was built in 1918 as a two flat. There was an Indian burial ground across the street. She is not sure that there are no historic artifacts to be found in the immediate area.

The neighborhood is old and could be tom down if the Village residents want this. The area would be replaced with luxury hardscapes with living spaces. There would be patches of grass and token landscaping. Much of what makes the neighborhood special could be kept if one maintained the R2 district requirements.

Allowing the proposed development would have a drastic effect on the neighborhood. What is being called a special use would set a precedent for redevelopment. Could the infrastructure of Wilmette A venue handle this? If this zoning request were allowed, one would have to allow all other requests for special use in the R2 district. There is already another request on Central A venue. The Board has to think of this request setting a precedent for future requests.

Chaim1an Greenberger asked Ms. Gaski ll if she thought that there was any

14

Case 2006-Z-74 1314-1318 \\lilmette Avenue

archeological or hi storical or cultural resource on the property that would be disturbed on the proposed redeveloped property.

Ms. Gaskill said that she knows about the Indian burial ground that is across the street. When she put in a line for electricity in her backyard, she found pieces of china buried.

4.24 Ms. Sclunit said she lives across the street from the proposed project. She and her husband oppose the proposed project. They are dramatically changing the character of the neighborhood. The children run back and forth among the yards. The children want the green space. The traffic study did not take school traffic into account. She talked about water in her backyard and the problems, especially in winter.

Her neighbor, Virginia Cox, could not attend tonight 's meeting. However, she said that 40 years ago, they were talking about limiting development in the · neighborhood.

She thinks Wilmette A venue is far too congested and she opposes the project.

4.25 Ms. Smith said she lives to the west of the proposed development. She appreciates the landscaping to be installed on the border of the two properties. She does not recall seeing dumpsters on the property line shown on the first drawing. She thought that the initial plan was to pick up garbage at each individual unit. She finds that it is disturbing that a dumpster for seven units will be against her property line.

Mr. Murray said that the diagram shows a refuse pickup area next to the property at the guest parking space area. That is off of the alley and it can be most easily · accessed by the refuse pickup service. He does not believe that this is a change from the first plan, but it might have been officially designated as the pickup area. An accommodation is available and that would have to do with a slight shift in where the parking spaces are located and perhaps bringing the refuse can area closer to the garage edge. It is still 15 ' away from the property line. The pickup area needs to be close to the alley. It only affects the rear units. The refuse area for the others is in the garage and would be moved out on the collection day.

Chaimrnn Greenberger said that the original plan shows the refuse area located in the location that it currently is shown. Is this a real issue for her property?

Ms. Smith asked if they could put it closer to the garage.

Chaimrnn Greenberger said that the paved area designed for refuse pickup for the rear units will abut the westernmost garage.

15


Ms. Roberts said that the parking pad needs to stay 5' from the side lot line.

Ms. Smith said that if there are two units facing the street as the property is zoned without a special use permit, it lends her property to be used as a single family home or two flat. It makes the backyard desirable. If there are units put along the length of the property not facing the street, she loses the privacy in her yard. There are four sets of 50' Jots in this section (8-50' Jots). If there were seven units per each l 00' lot, there would be 28 units on the Jot with 56 car garages. If that is what the Village believes should be done, then zoning should be changed. Not everyone should have to come to the Board to ask for a special use permit.

4 .26 Ms. Neresesian said she grew up in the Village. She thinks that the proposed development is ideal for that part of the Village. She said that there are not many townJ1ome options in this part of the Village. People can walk from these townhomes to the Village Center. She thinks it is great if the Village were to go in the direction of townhomes in this area. Other Villages have town11ome options. · ·

4.27 Ms. Levy said that she is the realtor for the property that is for sale. She found it interesting that Mr. 4.11 expressed so many objections since his father was the first person to make an offer on the property.

5.0 VIE\\IS EXPRESSED BY MEMBERS OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS

5.1 Mr. Davidson said that one of his suggestions at the last hearing was to try to find a way to reduce the massing of unit B in the back to alleviate the variances. He believes that this is one of the reasons why the Village Board remanded the case back to the ZBA. The applicant showed creativity in how to do this. The applicant addressed issues brought up during the previous presentation.

There are 11 standards of review for special use. He talked about the standards he believed were pertinent to this case .

. . . not detrimental to the general welfare - the traffic study indicated that there will be no impact on the neighborhood. That does not mean that the neighborhood does not have traffic issues, but the proposal does not exacerbate these issues .

. . . not injurious to the use or enjoyment of other properties in the neighborhood for the uses permitted in the district - The district is R2 and it is not RI. Townhouses are allowed in R2. The applicant does require a special use since the development does not front on a street and there are more than four units in a building. That is why the applicant has to present a proposal for the property so the Board can look at the plans .

. . . will not impede the nom1al and orderly flow of sunounding properties for uses

16


allowed in the zoning di strict - Will not impede are the words of note and he believes that the project will not impede the nom1al and orderly flow of surrounding properties .

. . . property values will not substantially be diminished - There has been no evidence that this would occur.

The utility and drainage standards are issues. He can particularly see where neighbors would be concerned· about drainage problems since there are existing obstacles. The applicants said that they planned to meet those requirements. The grading plans will be looked at by Village staff as part of the plan review process.

He believes that the above standards were the ones that represented issues in the proposal and the other special use standards were · met. He can support the ·application.

5.2 Mr. Stroud said he concurred with the above comments. The district is R2 and this is an appropriate R2 use. It is the way of the future. More and more dev~lopments will be proposed like this one. Engineering is not part of the Board's.purview. The neighbors will derive benefit from the project. This type of project is what the ·comprehensive Plan is requesting. He likes the fact that the driveways do not go through to the alley. The issues have been resolved to his satisfaction and he can support the request.

5.3 Mr. McKenna also concurs with the above comments. Of the seven different developments in the immediate vicinity, the range is one unit per 3·,000 square feet to one unit per 3,750 square feet. This development is one unit per 3,500 square feet. Regarding density, it would not be any more dense than any other townhome developments in the area, including the new project on Central A venue.

If this application were to be denied, it would be on standard 8, consistency of community character. He agrees with Ms. Smith and Mr. Gambacorta's comments in that this will real ly change the block. There will now be a piecemeal effect on the block.

Regarding Mr. Gambacorta's comments about a mid-block development, that will change the character of the neighborhood. If one does not agree with the plans, a Board member can vote against the proposal. He will support the application.

5.4 Ms. Romanek said she will support the application. The case bothered her more last time that the development was mid-block. She went to look at it again and the block is small. At the end of the block are townhomes and behind the project on Central are townhomes. This is the goal of the Village Board. It is the goal to have more people living closer to the Village Center for many reasons. She believes it

17


is important that people can walk to the Village Center. There are -no variances in this request and she believes that this is a beautifully done townhome development. She said she would not want to see this as a big development. That would tum the Village into a town such as seen in the far northwest or western suburbs where the whole suburb is a subdivision. She hopes that this project will set the standard for future developments.

5.5 Mr. Darbyshire said he can support the project as he did last time. His concern last time was the separation issue and the side yard variation. That is no longer there. What is positive about the development is that there will be diversity in the housing stock that is needed. It is not affordable, but more affordable housing.

5.6 Chairman Greenberger concurs with the above comments. He voted against the application at the last -hearing based on the variation request, which is gone. He was fine with the special use requests at the last hearing and is fine with the requests tonight. As Ms. Gaskill and Mr. Gambacorta point out, there is a larger issue is that the decision made tonight will change the nature of the community because multiple units will be predominant. If the area is to be upzo,ned, that is within the purview of the Village Board.

As Ms. Schmit said, there is a larger issue, but the reason why there have not been town.home units in this district is because the ·need was not there. The economics did not justify tearing down single-family homes and building townhomes. The economics are changing and reflects the needs of an aging populatio~ in this area. In this area and to the east of the railroad tracks there is great potential for dev~lopment to meet this need.

6.0 DECISION

6.1 Mr. Davidson moved to recommend granting a request for a special use for a townhouse with more than four units in a building, a special use to perm-it more than one townhouse building on a lot and a special use to permit five townhouse units not fronting on a street all to allow the construction of seven townhomes in two buildings at 1314-1318 Wilmette A venue in accordance with plans submitted. The use shall run with the use.

6.11 Mr. Stroud seconded the motion and the vote was as follows:

Chairman James Greenberger Ted McKenna Nigel Stroud Abby Romanek Kent Darbyshire Kent Davidson

18

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

Motion carried.


7.0 FINDINGS OF FACT UPON "WHICH DECISION WAS BASED

The Zoning Board of Appeals finds that the request meets the special use standards of Section 4 .3.6 of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed use of townhouses is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which calls for townhouses on this block. The establishment of the use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or general welfare. The use will not injurious to the use or enjoyment of other property. The establishment of the use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding areas. The establishment of the use will not substantially diminish property values. Adequate utilities, road access, drainage and other facilities are provided or will be upgraded to serve the proposed use. The use is consistent with the community character. Access to the site is to be separated so that the front units are accessed from Wilmette A venue and the rear units are accessed from the alley. Testimony was provided in the form of the traffic study indicating that the proposed use does not exacerbate traffic issues on Wilmette A venue. The propos~d use is consistent with the community character. No known archaeological, historical ,· or cultural resources will be substantially adversely affected by this request.

Village of Wilmette Zoning Board of Appeals 1200 Wilmette A venue Wilmette, Illinois 60091

Re: 1314-1318 Wilmette A venue, Wilmette, IL Special Use and Variation Application

Dear Wilmette Zoning Board of Appeals Members:

As purchasers in contract of the above referenced property located within the R2 Townhouse Residence Zoning District, we desire to construct a two-building townhouse development with a total of seven units resulting in the highest and best use of the property. Due to the property' s shape, its mid-block location and the allowable number of units, it is impossible to redevelop the property in accordance with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan without obtaining a Special Use Permit. Therefore, we respectfully submit an application for Special Use under the Village of Wilmette Zoning Ordinance to construct Townhouses with more than four units in a building, with more than one building on a lot and with not all units fronting a public street.

This proposed development complies with all other zoning requirements including but not limited to minimum lot size, minimum lot width, FAR, height, setbacks and lot coverage. Outside of the Special Use Permit, no other zoning relief or variations are being requested.

I a .1

Applicable Code Sections The general requirements for special uses as stated in Section 20-4.3.6 will be addressed in Exhibit A attached hereto.

The specific criteria addressing this type of townhouse development is stated in Section 20.5.4.3 (p) as follows:

"Townhouses with more than four units in a building, with more than one building on a lot, or with not all units fronting a public street may be established as a special use provided that: ·

(1) The dwelling units are laid out to ensure adequate privacy for residents, such as by the separation of buildings or landscaping between buildings; and

(2) All off-street parking areas and interior driveways are located and designed to provide safe, quick and convenient access for emergency vehicles, refuse collection and service and delivery vehicles."

Building/Site Plan Summary Building A, ·a five unit building proposed for the front portion of the property, consists of one unit fronting a public street, (Wilmette A venue) and four units lined up perpendicular to the public street and facing the thirty foot east side yard. The east side-yard effectively becomes Building A's "Front yard" containing a private drive serving the building's garages, a landscape buffer and a 6 foot high privacy fence.

The west side-yard, which functions as the "Rear yards" of Building A's units, is twenty feet deep and provides each unit with a generous private yard. Combined, the two side yards equal 50 feet or 50% of the total lot width as required by code.

Building B consists of two units oriented towards the front of the property, each with a two-car detached garage loading off the public alley and accessible through a private rear yard. The rear building runs parallel to the angled rear lot line, so its side yards vary throughout the width of the building. However, at all times, the combined side yards equal the required 50% of the lot width or fifty feet. At no point is any side yard less than the minimum 12.5' required for Townhouses within the R2 Townhouse district.

Our project meets the first Special Use criteria of ensuring adequate privacy by concentrating both buildings towards the center of the property to maximize the private yards of each unit and the aesthetic value of the common open space while minimizing the impact on the surrounding properties.

The second criteria addressing access is met by the ample twenty-five foot wide private drive with additional parking pads located to ensure the ability of vehicular traffic to turn around on-site. The public alley at the rear of the property provides Building B with direct vehicular access.

Application of Special Use From the description of our project and submitted materials, we conclude that the proposed development meets the criteria of the Special Use provision cited above.

The Village Planners specifically designated certain neighborhoods as R2 Townhouse districts. There are numerous properties however, including the subject property, within those districts that consist of narrow, deep interior lots that could not practically be developed under the current Zoning Ordinance without the granting of a Special Use Permit.

Therefore, Section 20.5.4.3 (p) of the Zoning ordinance, which directly provides for a Special Use for townhouses exactly like the ones in this proposed development, was enacted specifically to accommodate properties with the physical characteristics of the subject site.

This development meets a public need for updated multi-family housing within walking distance of public -transportation and amenities of the Village Center. Taken as a whole, we believe this development meets all the standards of review for the grantin~ of a Special Use. ·

Therefore, we respectfully request the Zoning Board to positively recommend that the Village Board of Trustees grant approval of the special use.

Derek Schiller

' I I I

Exhibit A Standards of Review for Special Uses:

1. The proposed use will be consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive Plan;

The site is located within the R2 Townhouse Residence District. Therefore, Townhouses of the kind specifically described as a potential Special Use are consistent with and meet the goals and policies of the Comprehensive plan. See Section 20-5.4.1 FF.

2. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or general welfare;

The proposed buildings will be constructed to meet or exceed village building codes, parking and access requirements and will meet those regulations designed to provide for the public health, safety and public welfare.

3. The proposed use will not be injurious to the use or enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood for the purposes permitted in the district:

The proposed development is surrounded by other properties zoned R2, each of which could be developed for single family attached dwellings. The parcel will be well landscaped and maintain adequate setbacks, fencing and landscape screening. Consistent with Section 20.5.4.3 (p) of the Zoning Ordinance, both buildings feature side yards which are 15% to 20% larger than would be required on units fronting a public street.

4. The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding properties for uses permitted in the zoning district;

All surrounding properties are currently developed and could be combined with neighboring properties for future redevelopment consistent with the R2 Residential District.

5. The proposed use will not substantially diminish property values in the neighborhood;

The proposed upscale residential development has adequate set backs, open space and architecture that will enhance and not diminish property values of the neighboring properties.

6. Adequate utilities, road access, drainage, and other necessary facilities already exist or will be provided to serve the proposed use;

There exists adequate access to roads and utilities via Wilmette A venue and the public alley to the rear of the property. We have budgeted adequate funds for drainage, civil engineering and other on-site improvements to meet village requirements. We will work with the Village of Wilmette Engineering Department to ensure proper civil engineering of all aspects of the site.

' ' ..

7. Adequate measures already exist or will be taken to provide ingress and egress to the proposed use in a manner that minimizes traffic congestion in the public streets;

The proposed use of alley and street access allows ingress and egress for all residents with on-site guest parking. Vehicles will be able to enter onto Wilmette Avenue in a forward-facing manner and into the alley from the North garage. Four guest parking spaces are provided along the alley. Impact on existing tra~fic patterns will be minimized.

8. The proposed use will be consistent with the community character of the neighborhood and of the parcel proposed for development;

The surrounding neighborhood consists of townhouses, low-density multifamily dwellings and high-density single family homes. A well-designed townhouse development that is architecturally in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood is entirely consistent with the character of the community.

9. Development of the proposed use will not substantially adversely affect a known archaeological, historical, or cultural resource located on or off'~f the parcel .proposed for development;

There are no known archeological or historic landmarks to be affected by the development.

10. The applicant has made adequate legal provis.ion to guarantee the provision and development of any buffers, landscaping, public open space and other improvements associated with the proposed use;

The proposed site plan includes adequate buffers, landscaping, public open space and other improvements on the site so as to avoid adverse affects on adjoining properties. Adequate legal provisions will be made to assure maintenance and continuation.

11 . The proposed use will meet any and all additional standards specified in Article 5 of the Zoning Ordinance for such a use, where listed in Article 5 as an allowable special use in the zoning district.

The proposed use meets the additional standards for setbacks and access set forth in Section 20-5.4.3 (p) as they pertain directly to townhouse developments of this nature by concentrating both buildings towards the center of the property to maximize the private yards of each unit and the aesthetic value of the common open space while minimizing the impact on the surrounding properties and ensuring adequate vehicular access as described above.

The site is located on the south side of Central A venue between Prairie and Park A venues and is west and north of two existing alleys. Parking is provided by four one-car attached garages, four parking spaces in a detached garage, and four visitor spaces in the driveways in front of the detached garage. All parking will have direct access to the two alleys.

1314-18 Wilmette Avenue

DS Development is proposing to redevelop two single-family homes at 1314 and 1318 Wilmette Avenue into seven townhouse units. The site is located on the north side of Wilmette Avenue, mid-block between Prairie and Park Avenues. An existing alley runs along the north side of the property. Two-car garages (14 spaces total) and six visitor parking spaces would be provided. Access to four units is proposed from Wilmette Avenue and three units would have access from the alley.

Methodology

Existing Traffic Volumes

Weekday morning (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM) and afternoon (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) peak hour manual traffic counts were conducted at the intersections of Central A venue with Prairie and Park A venues and at the north-south public alley; the intersections of the east-west public alley with Prairie and Park A venues and at the north-south public alley. Traffic counts were done at the Wilmette/Parke Avenue traffic signal. Based on those counts the morning peak-hour of traffic occurred from 8:00 to 9:00 AM due in part to the influence of the McKenzie School traffic. In the evening most of the intersections' peak-hour traffic occurred from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. The intersection of Park and Central Avenue had a peak-hour traffic occurred from 5 :00 to 6:00 PM due to higher southbound through and westbound left-turning volumes during that time period. This would be indicative of Park A venue being used as a by-pass route to Green Bay Road. To be conservative, the individual peak-hour of each intersection was used in the evening analyses. The resulting peak hour volumes are shown in Figure 3 and are included in the Appendix.

In general, Wilmette A venue is a heavily traveled arterial road with 1,000 to 1,250 vehicles per hour (two-way) during the peak commuter periods. Park A venue, as a collector road, carries approximately 450 to 500 vph (two-way) during the peak times. Central and Prairie Avenues are local residential roads that serve an adjacent school resulting in volumes varying from 40 to 100 vehicles per hour.

Traffic volumes entering or exiting the north-south and east-west alleys total to 52 vehicles per hour in the morning and 45 vehicles per hour in the evening. When compared to the number of residential units served by the alleys (approximately 30 units), it is apparent that there is cut-through traffic primarily on the east-west alley. Approximately 15 to 20 vehicles per hour in the morning and 10 to 15 in the evening use the alley as a cut-through. This is most likely associated with the school.

Bicycle Routes

The study area includes two designated bicycle routes. The main village bike route is located along Wilmette A venue and connects the North Branch Trail to the Green Bay Trail. An alternate bike route is provided for children and less experienced cyclists along Wilmette Avenue from Green Bay Road west to Park A venue, north on Park A venue to Central A venue, west on Central A venue thru the McKenzie School campus traveling further west through the Village.

McKenzie School Traffic

Both project sites are located half a block east of the McKenzie School Campus and falls within its traffic management plan. School starts at 8:55 AM and ends at 3:15 PM. The school traffic guide lines convert several streets and an alley into one-way roads from 8:00 to 9:30 AM and 2:30 to 3:30 PM on school days. Central Avenue west of Park Avenue is one-way eastbound. Prairie Avenue is one-way southbound and the alley west of Prairie is one-way westbound. A copy of the McKenzie Traffic Guidelines is included in the Appendix.

Observations during this traffic impact study near the school showed back ups on southbound .Prairie A venue for several blocks and on the west side of the campus on 15th Street, as well as, along some of the cross-streets. Back-ups were worse on the east side campus so consideration should be given to balancing the demand between the east and west sides of the campus. Also, a carpool matching program could be implemented to reduce the overall demand at the school. Any suggestions would need to be reviewed and approved by the school district.

Public Transportation

The projects are well located near public transportation facilities at the Wilmette Metra station in the Village Center and several PACE bus routes along Green Bay Road, Lake Street, and Wilmette A venue. Based on the Year 2000 Census data, approximately 18.8% of all workers in Wilmette use public transportation to travel to their jobs. Table 1 provides a breakdown of the transportation usage by type.

Crash Data Review

Vehicle crash data was obtained from the Village of Wilmette Police Department for the last five years of available data to check for any accident trends in the study area. Table 2 summarizes the data which indicates Jess than one accident per year for most roadway segments or intersections. Signalized intersections, like Park and Wilmette Avenues!> typically have more accidents. No high accident locations or trends were identified.

On-Street Parking

As part of this study, a parking survey was conducted of the on-street parking usage in the area bounded by Wilmette, Prairie, Central, and Park Avenues from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Tuesday, December 12' 2006. A summary of the parking survey can be found in the Appendix .

. The results of the survey generally indicate that on-street parking, outside school arrival/dismissal time, is lightly used in the neighborhood. Along Park A venue, adjacent to the Library and the Post Office, it is heavily used throughout the day.

DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS Project Trip Generation ·

In order to establish trips from the development, Land Strategies, Inc. based the number of trips generated by the townhouses using the trip generation rates contained in "Trip Generation," 7th Edition, by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Tables 3 and 4 show that the amount of residential vehicular traffic from each project will be low.

The 2000 Census data for Wilmette indicates that 72.2% the residents drove in a private car to travel to · and from work. In other words, 27.8% of residents used other means to get to vvork or worked at home. The close proximity to the train and bus routes gives the future residents of this project easy access to public transportation. These traffic volumes used in the study are conservatively high with no adjustment made for use of public transportation, bikes, or walking and no credit was take for the four existing homes currently generating traffic on the two properties.

The project trip distribution is the direction in which project generated vehicles will travel to and from the site. The travel patterns expected for residential development are based on the existing travel patterns, resident' s employment and the location of major roadways. Given the low volume of site generated traffic, the distribution is generally to the south, east, north towards Lake Street, Green Bay Road, or Wilmette A venue. Residents of the new developments will use the alley to avoid the McKenzie School traffic restrictions and congestions.

Project Trip Assignment

The project trips contained in Table I were assigned to the road system based on the directional distribution percentages and the proposed site plans. These results are shown as Site Traffic Volumes contained in Figures 4 and 5 for the proposed townhouses. Figure 6 summarizes the traffic volumes expected from the Rimco Development located to the east on Green Bay Road that would travel through the study area on Wilmette or Central A venues. These volumes were obtained from the KLOA traffic study. In order to determine future total traffic volumes, site traffic volumes were added to the existing volumes and are shown in Figure 6. .

ANALYSIS

Intersection Analyses

In order to determine how the existing roadway system is operating and how the future system will operate, Land Strategies, Inc. utilized the Highway Capacity Software (HCS). HCS uses highway capacity analysis methods and is the most widely accepted form of intersection analysis in. the United States. Based on the available roadway capacity and the average delay per vehicle, the overall level of service (LOS) for the study intersections was determined. Levels of service grades range from LOS A, the best, to LOS F, the worst. With the minimal acceptable level of service . being LOS D. Table 5 below shows the existing and future levels of service at the study area intersections during the weekday morning and evening peak hours. Copies of the capacity analyses are included in the Appendix.

As shown in the table, all of the intersections currently operate at a ·good level of service will continue to operate well with the addition of the Chestnut Builders development, the DS Development project, and the proposed Rimco development to the east. Overall, the two townhouse developments will have no noticeable impact on traffic conditions in the area. Excess capacity exists on the roadway system to accommodate additional traffic from other future developments in the area.

Please note that these capacity analyses do not take into account the back ups created on Wilmette A venue from the railroad crossing gate closures to the east and the delays created by parents pulling into or out of parking spaces near McKenzie School. In either cas~, the two townhouse developments will have a negligible impact on those existing conditions.

1323 Centra] A venue

Chestnut Builders is proposing to redevelop a two unit residential building at 1323 Central A venue into a five unit townhouse development. The site is located on the south side of Central Avenue between Prairie and Park A venues and is west and north of two existing alleys. The building runs north-south along the alley. Parking is provided by four one-car attached garages and four parking spaces in a detached garage. Additional parking· is provided in the driveways in front of each detached garage space for a total of sour additional spaces. Overall, there are twelve parking spaces on-site or 2.4 spaces per unit for five dwelling units or 3.0 spaces per unit for four dwelling units. This parking ratio is well in excess of the vilJage requirements and national parking standards. The impact on on-street would be minimal except for an occasional party or family gathering which wouJd use on-street paring. Additional visitor parking is available on Central A venue. All parking will have direct access to the two alleys.

The location of the site near the Village Center, close to Meti-a/P ACE routes, and along village bike routes will help minimize traffic generation and its resulting impact on neighboring streets.

1314-18 WiJmette Avenue

DS Development is proposing to redevelop two single-family homes at 1314and1318 Wilmette Avenue into seven townhouse units. The site is located on the north side of Wilmette Avenue, mid-block between Prairie and Park Avenues. An existing alley runs along the north side of the property. Two-car garages (14 spaces total) and six visitor parking spaces would be provided for a parking ratio of 2.86 spaces per unit. Access to four units is proposed from Wilmette A venue and three units would have access from the alley. ·

An 18 foot driveway is proposed on Wilmette A venue that will serve four of the seven townhouse units. Capacity analysis show that this driveway will operate well and not impact through traffic along Wilmette Avenue due to its low volume of traffic (two to three vehicles in the peak periods). The preliminary site plan does not show the proposed driveway apron design at Wilmette Avenue which will need to be reviewed in more detail. No on-street parking would be lost with the proposed driveway.

The benefit of providing an access point along Wilmette A venue is it will minimize traffic for pedestrians crossing the alleys at Prairie and Central A venues. Site traffic using the Wilmette A venue access will have the signal to the east and the crossing guard during school arrival/departure hours to the west to protect pedestrian crossings.

A detached garage along the east-west alley will serve the three northern units of the development and four visitor spaces located on either side. With only three of the town houses having direct access to the alley, the traffic volumes on the alley would be equivalent to the traffic generated by the existing two single-family homes. This would not increase traffic on the east-west alley which is currently experiencing cut-through traffic.

The location of the site near the Village Center, close to Metra/P ACE routes, and along village bike routes will help minimize traffic generation and its resulting impact on neighboring streets.

McKenzie School Traffic Guidelines

1700 West Irving Park Road, Suite 202 Chicago , IL 60613 Telephone : 773.3 05. 0800 Facs imile: 773.305.0805 www.landstrategiesinc . com

McKenzie Traffic Guidelines

Please share this information with anyone who picks up your children (e.g., babysitters, grandparents, and helpful friends).

If you drive to school, you must either use the drop-offi'pick-up Jane on Prairie or park your car legally and walk.

Drop-off/pick-up Jane on Prairie: • Enter the lane ONLY from the rear of the pick-up lane (the last slot of the lane is just

south of the entrance to the north faculty parking Jot). Do not cut in line. • If the Jane is full , circle around the block and try again. Do not double-park. • Use turn signals when entering or exiting the Jane. · • Stay in your car and move forward as space opens up ahead of you. • Your child should get in your car ONLY while you're in the pick-up Jane (not in the

street, crosswalks, illegal parking spots, alleys, or parking Jots). Tell your children to: · • Wait in front of the school until they see your car in the Jane.

• Remember that you might be circling the block. • Give you a chance to move your car forward in the lane before getting in.

Legal Parking is available on: , • Prairie, north of the staff parking lot • Central, east of McKenzie • Washington, west of Prairie • 15dJ Street • Highland

Staff Parldng Only: The North and South parking lots are for McKenzie staff ONLY. Since teachers come and go during the day, please leave these spots available for staff.

If you walk to school, please review the Preferred Walking Route and consider forming a "walking school bus" with your neighbors. Kids love to walk, and it is great exercise.

No Dogs allowed: Th.e Village of Wilmette prohibits dogs (even leashed) on school property. Violators are subject to a fine.

Everyone Benefits! This system works if everyone cooperates. The pick-up lane opens up by 3:22 p.m. and is almost always :finished (except in bad weather) by 3:25 p.m. When drivers block traffic, cut in line, double-park, or don't move up, children are endangered, . traffic snarls and tempers fray. Thank you in advance for contributing to safety and smooth traffic flow!

Volunteers n eeded: Please contact Liz Martin at 847.256.9291 or [email protected] to volunteer to monitor the pick-up Jane. The shifts are short (only 20-25 minutes), social · and very important. Thanks!

Re: Downtown Townhouses Development Review

MEMORANDUM

John LaPJante, PE, PTOE

January 11 , 2007

T.Y. Lin International has reviewed the site plans for the proposed townhouse developments at 1323 Central Avenue and 1314-1318 Wilmette Avenue in the Village of Wilmette. We have also reviewed the joint Traffic Impact Analysis for these two developments prepared by Land Strategies, Inc. dated December 20, 2006. In addition, we have visited the site to determine what other constraints there might be that are not visible in the site plan or covered in the Traffic Impact Analysis.

Based on this review and field visit, we can recommend approval of the basic proposal for the 1323 Central Avenue townhouse from a traffic impact and site access point of view. We do have one non-traffic concern with respect to the fate of the large trees right on the north-south alley line between Central Avenue and the east-west alley behind the development. Not knowing the health or condition of these large trees, it would be nice if the garage access points could be spaced so as to retain these trees if they are worth saving.

Regarding the 1314-1318 Wilmette Avenue townhouse development, we agree that the proposed development will not pose any traffic impact problems on either Wilmette A venue or the alleys serving this development. We also agree with the proposed driveway access to Wilmette Avenue at this location. Because of the prohibition of on-street parking for this block of Wilmette A venue, and the location of guest parking off of this north-south driveway, a driveway access directly to Wilmette Avenue would be preferred to forcing all visitors and deliveries to find their way through the alley at the rear. And if someway could be found to also locate the guest parking for the three units to the rear off of this same driveway, that would be even better. The parking prohibition on Wilmette ensures adequate sight distances for vehicles pulling out of this driveway onto Wilmette A venue.

However, the proposed pedestrian access provisions for the 1314-1318 Wilmette Avenue townhouse development are sorely lacking. The only way to access most of the townhouse units, including the three at the rear of the property is via the driveway, with blind movements out of the garages taking place into the only pedestrian venue. It would seem much safer and more natural to provide the pedestrian access through the yard along the west side of the development, although this would probably mean redesigning the layouts of the four front units so that the front door is on the west side of the building, with the rear door being off their driveway/alley by the garages.

Please Jet me know if you need any further review or explanation of these comments at this time.

To the Wilmette Zoning Board of Appeals,

I want to express my support for any necessary zoning variations that would allow townhomes to be constructed on the adjoining properties at 1314 and 1318 Wilmette Avenue. As a local Realtor in Wilmette for the past 18 years, I know that the older homes that are now on the property are rental properties, and that they are currently for sale. The property is zoned for multi-unit housing, and there is a proposal from a developer to purchase the properties and construct townhomes on the site.

I think this is a great idea. That location, as a secondary-busy street close to tov.'11, post office, library and shops, is perfect for a small townhome development. I think it will be the best and highest use of that property, and I encourage the Zoning Board of Appeals to support the current owners and prospective buyers in their goal to re,~talize that property.

Thank you, Dianne Cotsirilos Lifestyle Properties

I read the article in the Wilmette Life regarding the properties at 1314 & 1318 Wilmette Ave. and wanted to express my opinion. I grew up in Wilmette and then returned in 1992 to start my family so I care deeply about what happens in my community.

Obviously the house ·price gains have been nice for all of us but it seems to be creating a lack of more affordable empty nester housing. It is a shame to see our parents, having to downsize in retirement and being forced from the community for lack of housing.

Wilmette A venue has been zoned R2 forever and is perfect for town homes as single family's prefer not to live on such a busy street. Also I know that many parents like to walk instead of drive to grocery store, library, cleaners & train. It gives the area a neighborhood feel and avoids these crazy gas prices.

I always feel that the angry vocal minority always get heard in these issues and felt compelled to let you know how I feel about this issue.

Kind Regards

I am writing this letter to express my support for the proposed town house project located at 1314 & 1318 Wilmette Avenue.

The current owners wish to sell. The homes currently located there are in a state of disrepair and quite small by today's standards. They are not desirable "as is". Alternative options to existing conditions would be:

A) tear down & rebuild new single family homes

B) remodel, upgrade & add on to existing structures

C) replace with a mul.tiple/town home project.

Option A is not viable from a profit standpoint - the busy location is not one that would attract a buyer for the size & expense associated with a newly constructed home.

The end result of option B is that it would cost more money to bring up to code and conditions that a modern day purchaser would be interested in than it would to tear down and start from scratch. Now you are back to option A. Few buyers of new construction/single family homes would be interested in this location.

Option C has many benefits. A new, attractive project would replace 2 aging unwanted structures. The lower purchase price of a unit in a multiple unit structure would be attractive to singles or young families just starting out or seniors/ empty nesters wishing to down size and remain within the community. The proximity to MacKenzie School , library, post office train, and town center shopping make this an ideal location for a purchaser without a car.

We have someone who wishes to sell. We have someone else who wishes to buy. The buyer is proposing an attractive project that provides a product that is very much in demand and unfortunately in short supply in our community. I urge the Zoning committee to work with David Schwartz to find a way to approve this proposed development. Create a path for a win-win situation rather than systematically pick apart the plan until he walks away in frustration as has happened with so many projects recently in Wilmette.

Dear Village Trustees:

I read the recent article in the Wilmette Life regarding the properties at 1314 and 1318 Wilmette A venue and I would like to share my opinion with you. My parents moved to Wilmette when I was ,a junior in high school in 1970. My husband and I returned in 1988 to purchase a home and are now taising our own family here. There is no question that I have a genuine interest in this community and the decisions that are made about its' future .

While we have benefitted from the rise in property values that have taken place over time, it is also distressing to think that people like my parents may have to leave the community that they have called home for almost 40 years. There are no options for them when the amount of affordable living is as severely limited as it is.

I support a plan which allows for zoning the two lots on Wilmette A venue to accomodate the construction of townhomes. I believe that such a plan sends a positive message to the people of Wilmette both now and for the future. Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully,

Peg Duros

Wilmette Board of Trustees,

I read the article in the Wilmette Life regarding the properties at 1314 & 1318 Wilmette Ave. and wanted to express my opinion. I have lived in the area the vast majority of my life and in W.ilmette specifically for the last I 0 years . I care deeply about what happens in my community. '

Clearly, the housing value appreciation has been nice for all of us, however it is resulting in a shrinking stock of affordable empty nester housing. It is a shame to see our senior friends, wanting to downsize in retirement, being forced from the community for lack of housing.

Wilmette A venue has been zoned R2 for some time now and is perfect for town homes as ·single family's prefer not to live on such a busy street. Also, I know that many seniors like to walk instead of drive to grocery store, library, cleaners & train. It gives the area a neighborhood feel and supports our local business community.

I ask that you give your support to the project and ensure that it moves through the approval process expeditiously.

Regards, Tim

Dear Wilmette Board of Trustees,

In regards to the properties in the 1300 block of Wilmette Avenue, I am in support of building affordable housing in that neighborhood to serve the needs of those in our community that need it. My family and I live in the general vicinity, and one of the greatest advantages of living here, is that we have access to every major facility in town--without starting a car. We are able to walk everywhere. This, of course, is ideal for those residents that are downsizing and wish to remain here. I encourage you to look critically at the whole picture, and recognize that townhomes will not adversely affect our neighborhood. Let us assist an important segment of our population, and since there are other similar projects in the area, the decision should not be a difficult one. Thank you, Audrey Moy

To the Wilmette Zoning Board of Appeals,

I am writing this email to express my support for the proposed town house project located at 1314 & 1318 Wilmette Avenue. I read the article in the Wilmette Life and I think building the town homes on these two properties is a great idea. J ust last year, my mother and father in-law were looking for housing in Wilmette. They wanted to live in an area where they could walk to the library, shops and train, and of course, be near their grandchildren. They were unable to find anything affordable in Wilmette and instead purchased a home in Glenview.

This area is zoned for multi-unit housing, single homes would most likely not do well in the area since most families would rather live on a non-busy street. I think this will be the best and highest use of these properties and I encourage the Zoning Board of Appeals to support the current owners and prospective buyers in their goal to revitalize the property.

Thank you,

Isabel Kelly Wilmette Resident

I am writing this letter to express our support for the proposed town house project located at 1314 & 1318 Wilmette Avenue. We read the article in the Wilmette Life and we think building town homes on these two properties is the best idea. Now that our children are in college, we are beginning to contemplate scaling back ourselves and looking at townhouse availability in Wilmette. • This area is apparently zoned for multi-unit housing. Single homes probably would not do well on th'at site due to the high cost and the am.cunt of traffic on that street. We believe that town houses would result in the highest use of these properties. We encourage the Zoning Board of Appeals to support the current owners and prospective buyers in their goal to revitalize the property.

Hello Ms. Roberts: L . - - - ___:_ _____ ___:_

I t doesn't appear that I will be able to attend the zoning meeting on the 1300 Wilmette block townhouse~ tonight. I hope you can pass my comments on to the Zoning Board.

1) Having received the meeting notice just prior to a trip, I haven't had an opportunity to review the plans. It does seem that, contrary to the 1323 Central property, there is at least some appreciation for the importance of setbacks when placing a large structure next to houses. However, I am concerned that the building does not front the street. I am leery that even a 25' setback is enough to maintain privacy. Obviously, the immediate neighbors would better address that issue. (As a side note, because this property is much wider, nothing you do here should in any way set a precedent for much narrower lots i.e. 1323).

_ _J _,I

-· d J

2) I can more knowledgably speak to possible effects on the alleys (having far more alley perimeter than the other neighbors). First, while the alley is quiet most of the time, at the current level of use, at least once a month there is a close call where someone speeding east-to-west comes close to so·meone turning from the northsouth alley (no matter how slowly the north-south person goes). Abrupt exiting into the east-west alley also causes problems. With the extra number of units, what precautions are being taken? I would suggest speed bumps, mirrors, and perhaps even a stop sign along the east-west passage.

3) Currently, there is often illegal parking up against my fence along both alleys. These cars partially impede passage through the alley which is dangerous at night and during heavy snows. My fence has also been damaged numerous times by people backing into it or scraping it sideways. Beer cans and other trash are also tossed over the fence. My questions:

a) Is there enough parking in the new development that neither residents nor guest will have a reason to park in the alley?

b) Will the Police Department actively patrol the area and ticket those parking illegally.

I don't know that these are insurmountable problems. However, simply having a traffic consultant visit the area a few times to pronounce it trouble-free is not sufficient. I hope the board will at least discuss alley traffic/parking and appropriate safeguards.

Thank you.

RE: 1314 & 1318 Wilmette Avenue

Mr. Bill Laubach and his grandson stopped by our house the other day. They had come up from Florida to journey through the 87 years of Mr. Laubach's life. Oddly when they drove up and got out of the car, I knew this was the man who my family had bought our house from, though I had never met him.

He told us that his dad had built the house in 1918, that it was built originally as a two flat, not converted has I had always imagined. He showed us where the chicken coop was, the garden, the pump for the well, the coal bin, the wood bin. Told about life with no electricity. Talked about the neighbors. Told us his dad worked at a meat packing house and would bring home excess wood to bum in the cook stove and pot bellied stove.

Said he and his parents at first lived on the second floor, and eventually . moved to the first floor, just like our family has done. Told us who built the kitchen cabinets and glad to see that they were still there. Said that he and his wife moved to Florida when she contracted polio in the 1950s.

And he said that when someone was building across the street many years ago, they found an Indian burial ground.

Ours is an old neighborhood and can easily fall to the wrecking ball if that is what the residents of the Village want.

The area would soon be replaced with luxury hardscapes containing living spaces. Backyard tree houses and climbing trees, vegetable gardens and cool shade trees would be replaced with patches of grass and the token ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers, Room for the dogs and the kids to explore, and back yard ice skating rinks will be gone.

Adhering to the current zoning (R2, front facing), much of what makes this neighborhood special might be maintained.

z.?..o

Make no n1istake, allowing the proposed intense development will drastically change the neighborhood. Might as well change everyone's zoning and let the character of the Village of Wilmette make a giant leap into becoming overly dense. I doubt any of the neighbors would want to live with the proposed monster in the midst of us, so what you are calling a special use will set the precedent for redevelopment. Do you think the infrastructure of Wilmette A venue could handle that?

Don' t you think that in all fairness, if you allow this zoning request you would have to allow all other requests for "special use" in the R2 zone? Would the law require you to follow a precedent established by allowing the proposed development?

Respectfully submitted,

Cindy Gaskill and Steve Bezark 1325 Wilmette A venue Wilmette, IL

To: Zoning Board of Appeals

Regarding: 1314 & 1318 Wilmette Ave.

From: Sam Gambacorta 1310 Wilmette Ave.

6/20/07

Our family has owned the property at 1310 Wilmette Ave. (directly east of the proposed development) for over 45 years. During this time we have enjoyed the openness and green space of all the connecting backyards along the block. If the proposed development is approved and built, the open feel of all the connecting yards will be lost and neighboring properties will seem more congested.

First, we oppose the development as a whole for the reason that it is located mid block with residential type houses on both sides. I would like to point out some other townhouse developments that have been approved but were not mid block, thus making less of an impact on the neighboring properties:

I) The townhouse development across from the post office borders the east alley. 2) The townhouse development across from the library borders Park Ave. 3) The townhouse development behind the gas station at Wilmette & Ridge

borders the gas station to the· west. 4) The townhouse development at Central and Prairie across from McKenzie school

is on a corner fronting on both streets. 5) The townhouse development at Central and Park Ave. fronts Central

The point I am trying to make is that the above nearby developments have been built adjacent to streets, alleys and commercial properties thus having a minimal negative impact on a residential home only on one side. As you are driving down Wilmette Ave., try to imagine what this development will look like being the massive structure that it is situated lengthwise on the lot and appearing very disproportionate to the neighborhood, as it now exists. At the last meeting of the Zoning Board, the neighbor to the west of the subject property spoke and said that if this project is approved, then they would be in favor of building a similar type of development on the their property to the west. This will ,of course, have a domino effect over time. A.5 the first project before you tonight is approved and built, others will follow and potentially the entire R-2 district along Wilmette Ave. would have these large types of townhouse developments on both sides of the street. When the R-2 district was created, is this really what the Village planners had in mind for the appearance of the neighborhood ?

i.21

The proposal before you tonight, being built mid block, will have a negative impact on residential properties on both sides and will interrupt the open green space we now enjoy, and will also dramatically change the streetscape along Wilmette Ave. away from the "look" of single family residential homes.

If this development is allowed to be built as now modified without variations, the buildings will still be very massive. Please request a concession from the developer to reduce the overall height to 30' max. as opposed to the 35' allowed. This will lessen the impact of "reduced light" to the neighboring houses.

I would like to note that according to the survey of 1310 Wilmette Ave., the east property line of the development is 23 7. O' and not 240 .18' as shown. This is confirmed by the Sidwell map. Also Sidwell shows the west property line to be 259.75 and not 259 .81 as shown. This would of course reduce the Maximum F.AR. and impervious coverages accordingly. Also, I believe the traffic study presented was the same as the one used for 1323 Central.

This study was not done at peak school traffic hours and it should be redone and reexamined by the Village staff.

Second, As we heard from the previous meeting on the proposed development at 1323 Central, flooding and storm water drainage is a big problem in this area . .

Please take note on the following items of concern regarding storm water:

1) With this development, the increase in impervious coverage will be dramatic with the increased footprints of the buildings and driveways. The developer will of course have to retain all water runoff on his property and detain that water and release it slowly into the city storm sewer main line. This can best be accomplished by the installation of an underground concrete storm water detention vault (concrete on all 6 sides top & bottom). The vault will be sized for a I 00-year storm or greater and will have the appropriate outflow restrictor. The developer should be required to connect the outflow of the vault to the storm sewer main line wherever it may be located. I feel that if the project is approved, then the Village should make the installation of this specific type of underground concrete storm water detention vault mandatory. Such approval should be contingent on the developer agreeing to install such a concrete vault that is connected to the storm sewer main line.

I

2) Other water detention options are the open detention pond, which is very unsightly (as seen at the development at Wilmette & Ridge) and would detract from the neighborhood and should not be allowed.

In conclusion, we are opposed to the project in general because such approval will set a precedant allowing similar future townhome developments along Wilmette Ave. in this R-2 district. I would favor single family homes over this development or a townhome development that does not require a special use permit. Yet if this is approved please consider requesting the developer to reduce the overall height of the buildings to 30'· such that the loss of light affecting the neighboring properties will be minimized.

Respectfully submitted,

Sam Garnbacorta - 1310 Wilmette Ave.

MEMORANDUM

June 19, 2007

TO: Mr. Da vid Schwartz,, OS Development

FROM: Mark de la Vergne, Senior Associate

RE: Wilmette A venue Townhomes

Land Strategies, Inc. conducted a traffic study for two proposed residentia l redevelopments at 1323 Central A venue and at 1314-134 18 Wilmette Avenue in Wilmette, Illinois, dated December 13, 2006. OS Development is proposing to redevelop two sing le-family homes at 13 14 and 13 18 Wilmette A venue into seven townhome units. The origi nal traffic study for the development analyzed a site plan with four units having access from Wi lmette A venue and the remaining three units having acce'ss from the a lley. The plan has .been revised so that fi ve units have access from Wilmette Avenue and two units have access from the a lley. The purpose of this memorandum is to determi ne the impact on the adjacent roadways of the revised site plan.

In order to estimate trips from the development, Land Strategies, Inc. based the number of trips generated by the development using the trip generation rates. contained in "Trip Generation," 7th Edition, by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Table 1 shows the amount of vehicular traffic that the proposed development will generate.

Land Use




Daily AM Peak Hour Trips In Out Total

40 I 2 3

PM Peak Hour

As can be seen from Table 1, the proposed deve lopment will only generate 40 trips during the entire day, 3 trips during the weekday morning peak hour and fo ur trips during the weekday evening peak hour. The revised site plan will re locate approximately 5-6 trips during the day from the alley to the Wilmette A venue access and one trip during the morning and evening peak hours.

Conclusion

The rev ised site plan for OS Development' s proposed townhome project will relocate approximately 5-6 vehicular trips throughout the day from the alley to the Wilmette A venue access drive. The operations of the alley will operate similar to the existing operations because the two sing le fam ily homes presently

have garages on the alley. The additional traffic on Wilmette Avenue due to the revised site plan will have no impact on the operations of Wilmette Avenue and the traffic on the alley w ill be decreased from the original traffic study. The proposed development will continue to have no perceivable impact on traffic conditions along Wilmette Avenue and the adjacent neighborhoods by this development.

Greetings!

Page 1 of 1

I read with sadness in the Wilmette Life about the plan to build townhouses on Wilmette A venue. We moved from Chicago to Wilmette a little over 30 years ago. Chicago is known for congestion, crowding as many people as they can into any size lot. I fail to see why our village wants to emulate that.

Sometimes I hear people talking about increased tax revenues; but just as sure, new development brings in increased demands on our schools and infrasturcture. New development keeps pressure on our property taxes, driving out the middle class. You may think this is for the betterment of our community, but I am at least one person who doesn't think so .

Thank you.

Page 1of1

Dear Mr. Canning: I just wanted to share my concerns regarding the townhouse developments proposed for the block bordered by Wilmette, Central, Park and Prairie Avenues. I reside in one of the townhomes on Prairie and am concerned regarding the addition of the proposed 12 -13 units (7 on Wilmette Ave. and 5 or 6 on Central Street). From the information presented at meetings in January and February, it is my understanding that if constructed, the residents of these units would enter and exit via the alley. At present, the alley is used by many to bypass Wilmette Ave. traffic and access the library, train or elementary school. I must use the alley to access my garage and quite frequently encounter other traffic. The alley is too narrow to allow safe passage of two cars and it is difficult to see other cars when entering or exiting the alley. I am opposed to multifamily development of the properties on Wilmette Ave. and Central Street. The area is prone to congestion at present due to the school, library, post-office and train. Since moving in, I have learned the area is zoned R2. However, given the predominance of single family homes on the block and the significant investment made by many of the property owners, new multifamily housing should not be allowed. Thanks for your time.

Subject: Case 2006-Z-74-1314-1318 Wilmette Avenue Original Case Report

TDD (847) 853-7634 EMAJL [email protected]

At the request of President Canning, I am forwarding the minutes of the April 24, 2007 Village Board meeting and the original Zoning Board of Appeals report related to the original townhouse request.

4/24/07 Approved 5/8/07

The request was handled with the Consent Agenda for an 82.58 square foot (1.35% oflot area and 3.96% of permitted) lot coverage variation and a 1,210.16 square foot (19.67% oflot area and 40.31 % of permitted) total floor area variation to allow the construction of a new detached two car garage on an existing legal nonconforming structure in accordance with the plans submitted. Ordinance #2007-0-40 was adopted with the Consent Agenda, authorizing the variations of this case.

6.191 Zoning Board of Appeals Report, 1314-1318 Wilmette Avenue, Case #2006-Z-74 regarding a request for a special use to allow more than one townhouse building on a lot, a special use to allow a townhouse development where four (4) of the townhouse units do not front on a street, a 25.0 combined side yard setback variation, a 2.0' rear yard setback variation, 2.0' side yard parking space setback variation, a 3.0' side yard parking space setback variation and a 5.0' rear yard parking space setback variation to permit the construction of seven (7) townhouses in two (2) buildings.

Trustee Levin presented the request for a special use to allow more than one townhouse building on a lot, a special use to allow a townhouse development where four (4) of the townhouse units do not front on a street, a 25.0 combined side yard setback variation, a 2.0' rear yard setback variation, 2.0 ' side yard parking space setback variation, a 3.0' side yard parking space setback variation and a 5.0' rear yard parking space setback variation to permit the construction of seven (7) townhouses in two (2) buildings.

Jim Murray, attorney for the petitioner, asked that the case be referred back to the Zoning Board of Appeals with a modified plan to eliminate or substantially modify the requested variances. The applicant will still need to request a special use variation.

Trustee Levin said the Village Board is not the place to revise the plans but he would like the case referred back to the Zoning Board of Appeals with the stipulation that there will be significant changes to the plans.

President Canning asked when the Zoning Board of Appeals would be able to hear the request.

Ms. Roberts said the applicant could possibly be heard June 20 or July 18, 2007 at a Zoning Board of Appeals meeting.

10

4/24/07 Approved 518107

Trustee Watt asked if there was a difference between withdrawing the request or referring back to the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Mr. Murray said referring the case back to the Zoning Board of Appeals allows his client to attempt to modify the proposal in a continuing fashion.

Trustee Levin said in referring the case back to the Zoning Board of Appeals, a record of the case is being maintained which he believes is beneficial. He also believes it is important to place conditions on the referral back to the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Trustee Levin moved to refer the item back to the Zoning Board of Appeals with the condition that the variations required by the project be eliminated or significantly modified, seconded by Trustee Swanson.

Voting yes: Trustees Levin, Watt, Terman, Aggens, Swanson and President Canning. Voting no: none.

6.192 Adoption of Ordinance #2007-0-34 amending the Village Code, Chapter 9, regarding tree canopy requirements as part of the grading permit process.

Trustee Levin moved Adoption of Ordinance #2007-0-34 amending the Village Code, Chapter 9, regarding tree canopy requirements as part of the grading permit process, seconded by Trustee Watt.

Trustee Levin said the Land Use Committee and the Administration Committee· have spent time reviewing and drafting a tree canopy ordinance. He believes the proposed ordinance will maintain the Village's tree canopy.

Trustee Watt said the proposed ordinance is interesting, smart and will be very effective in maintaining the urban forest.

Trustee Swanson said the trees' value is in the canopy as canopy provides shade and cleans the air. The committees worked hard to remove the onerous parts of the previous draft ordinance. He supports the proposed ordinance.

Trustee Aggens said the proposed ordinance has captured the essence of what is valued by maintaining tree canopy.

Trustee Terman applauded all who participated in the process of drafting the proposed ordinance as she did not take part in the process.
