DISCUSSION
1000 Skokie Boulevard – Life Time Fitness Mixed Use Development (PCD-15-15).
Assistant Director David Schoon began the meeting by discussing the modifications made to the
proposed property since the January 12, 2016 meeting. At that time, the Applicant agreed to reduce the
total number of apartment units by 10% and also to review the traffic circulation around the Children’s
Learning Adventure day care facility. Assistant Director Schoon provided a PowerPoint of the revised
site plan, landscape plan, building elevations and perspective drawings illustrating how the applicant
intended to reduce the density. This revised plan included eliminating 34 apartment units by eliminating
a wing of the building along Sunset Ridge Road.
Assistant Director Schoon stated that the Applicant also provided information regarding how
pick-up and drop-off would occur at the Children’s Learn Adventure facility. Assistant Director Schoon
provided a detailed report of this process and its hours of operation. The Applicant also revised their
site plan to incorporate a loading area for vans and small buses, which was a condition the Plan
Commission recommended.
Assistant Director Schoon stated that in addition to changing the footprint of the residential
building and parking modifications, the Applicant also made a slight change to the Sunset Ridge Road
driveway configuration to the parking garage to better accommodate moving vans’ access to the interior
loading bay.
Assistant Director Schoon informed the Committee of the necessary relief the proposed project
would need and asked the Committee to consider the following: 1) does the Applicant’s proposed
redesign of the residential building to reduce the number of units by 10% address the Board’s concerns
1
Minutes of a Meeting of the March 1, 2016
Planning and Zoning Committee
regarding the density of the proposed project; 2) does the Applicant’s proposed pick-up and drop-off of
children at the Children’s’ Learning Adventure facility, including the addition of a designated lane for
vans and small buses, adequately address the Board’s concerns regarding site circulation in the parking
areas of the Children’s Learning Adventure and Life Time Fitness.
Assistant Director Schoon asked that if the Committee should be ready to make a
recommendation based upon the Applicant’s submittal, staff is prepared to make the appropriate
revisions to the approval documents for the full Board’s consideration at the March 8, 2016 Board
meeting.
Chairman Karagianis stated that he had concerns regarding the landscaping variance and asked
staff to expound on what the Applicant was looking for. He also asked for a current traffic study.
Assistant Director Schoon proceeded to explain the landscaping requirement and also that a traffic study
for the corridor was conducted when Walmart proposed their application as well as a traffic study was
conducted for the current project. Chairman Karagianis requested a copy of the study.
Applicant Aaron Koehler of Lifetime Fitness began by informing the Committee on what their
vision was and what their perspective was on how they came into this development. He provided a
brief summary of the history of the proposed site and of the developer. He continued by explaining
what type of facility Life Time Fitness was and what kind of companies they wanted to partner with in
this development. Mr. Koehler stated the developer reviewed the current Comprehensive Plan and
determined the three uses they were considering would fit within the Skokie Boulevard corridor with
the uses being Life Time Fitness, Children’s Learning Adventure day care facility and the Finger Company
apartment complex.
Mr. Koehler explained the many changes that occurred since they originally proposed the idea in
2014. He stated that one of the first things they did was meet with neighborhood groups and appeared
before the Village Board. He continued by stating that during the last fifteen (15) months they reduced
the footprint of the plan; reduced setbacks; simplified the architectural design and changed the
materials used for Children’s Learning Adventure; increased the landscaping plantings and provided a
masonry screen for a noise buffer for the neighbors within close proximity to the pool area. In addition,
Mr. Koehler stated that the developer committed to $2,000,000.00 in offsite road work improvements
along Skokie Boulevard.
Mr. Koehler stated that in addition to the request to reduce the density stated at the January
12, 2016 meeting, a concern of the child care drop off and pick-up process was discussed. Mr. Koehler
2
Minutes of a Meeting of the March 1, 2016
Planning and Zoning Committee
provided a detailed summary of the hours of operation of the child care facility and the loading and
unloading area of the vans and how this would result in traffic being spread out throughout the day.
Chairman Karagianis stated his concerns as being: 1) lack of sales tax being generated and
doesn’t understand why some retail space couldn’t be included in the development; 2) the school to be
on premise; 3) traffic within and outside the complex, and would like to review the traffic study which
was previously conducted; 4) having full occupancy of the apartment complex and asked if a market
study of such has been conducted. The representative from the Fingers Company stated that their
buildings normally have an occupancy rate of 93-95%.
Chairman Karagianis opened the meeting for public comments.
Sal Manso stated his first concern was of the child care facility and the potential need to have
police on the premise and also to have a Children’s Learning Adventure staff member in the parking lot
to monitor the traffic flow. He strongly recommended waiting to see how successful the 770 Skokie
Boulevard project was before moving forward.
Stephen Szumowski stated that there has been no secondary use given for consideration in front
of the Plan Commission and questions what type of use would come in if the gym wasn’t being used as a
gym. He continued by stating that there has been no appropriate traffic study conducted and there is
no viable fire truck access under the ComEd power lines. He feels this development is too big for the
site and residential housing would depreciate substantially.
Gayle Schechter stated that she has spoken to many residents and has a petition circulating
against the project which she will present to the Village Board. She asked the Committee how this
development is a reflection of Northbrook as a welcoming “inclusive” community. Instead, she said this
feels like a campus of “exclusivity”. Ms. Schechter suggests that the Committee take a pause on this
development and see what the impact of the 770 Skokie Boulevard project is.
Lee Jones stated he was concerned with the lack of sales tax being generated. Mr. Jones stated
we would have to add more Police and Public Works staff to accommodate this development and noted
that the cost of that would be at the expense of the Northbrook taxpayers. He noted his concerned with
the multi-family residential label they have on this project and was wondering if school buses would be
able to get in and out of the development. Mr. Lee expressed his concern with the competition and
impact this would pose on the YMCA, JCC, and other such businesses.
Sheryl Zeidman stated she feels there are plenty of child care centers currently in Northbrook.
She feels two new studies need to be conducted; one is an updated traffic study and the other is to see
the occupancy rate of the apartments at the 770 Skokie Boulevard project and at new developments in
3
Minutes of a Meeting of the March 1, 2016
Planning and Zoning Committee
neighboring communities. Ms. Zeidman is also concerned that no tax dollars will be generated from
this development and that residents will receive higher tax bills. She is also concerned of the impact this
will have on local businesses.
Susan Jacobs, a Northbrook resident, stated that she speaks as an individual resident who lives
very close to this development. She has met with the developers and other residents, who are in favor
of this project. Ms. Jacobs referred to the Comprehensive Plan and its designated for mixed uses on the
Subject Property, and she feels this use does satisfy the concept in the Plan. She mentioned that the
developers have worked very diligently with the residents and the Board and has no objection to this
project.
Herbert Brenner stated that this parcel has a long history and thinks the Board feels a need to
hurry and get something developed. Mr. Brenner does not think Northbrook needs another fitness
center in the area. He stated that there is not enough data yet to support the proposed one-bedroom
apartment units. Mr. Brenner would like to see the Board take a step back and take a little time for a
better proposal.
Lucinda Kasperson stated she objects to the changing of a Zoning Code that was put into place
to protect the residential neighborhoods. She stated that the Children’s Learning Adventure facility is
not a child care center, and is more like a school. Ms. Kasperson believes a school for preschoolers on
Skokie Boulevard is a dangerous setting for children. She also encourages the Committee to take a hard
look at the parking.
Chairman Karagianis stated he has many of the same concerns mentioned by the audience. He
agrees it is not an appropriate area for a child care center. Chairman Karagianis stated he is not satisfied
with the parking variances and would like staff to take a closer look at it. He is also concerned about
signage and is troubled by the residents living nearby who will look out their windows and see large
signs. Chairman Karagianis mentioned that there was no conversation about attainable housing, and
that there should at least be a discussion. Chairman Karagianis stated his major concerns are parking;
traffic; school not being appropriate; signage; no discussion of attainable housing; and noted this is the
last big parcel in Northbrook.
Village Attorney Elrod explained the occupancy of the learning center, and has asked the
Petitioner to reconsider the building’s maximum occupancy to no more than 500 at any one of time.
The Petitioner stated they would consider it.
Trustee Buehler thanked the developer and residents for coming in and stated he appreciated
their comments. He compared the location of Solomon Schechter School to be similar to the proposed
4
Minutes of a Meeting of the March 1, 2016
Planning and Zoning Committee
Children’s Learning Adventure. Trustee Buehler was in favor of the reduction of the building, the traffic
flow for the drop off at the day care facility and the traffic buffer on both sides of the property. Trustee
Buehler stated he now has a better understanding of the variances the applicant is asking for around the
Children’s Learning Adventure facility and pool area, and finds it to be a much better flow and
operation. Trustee Buehler stated he realizes this is a difficult piece of property to develop. He is
satisfied with the information received today and sees this to potentially be a success in Northbrook and
is ready to send it back to the Board.
Trustee Heller also thanked everyone for attending and providing their comments. He thinks
this is a positive for Northbrook and is a good addition to the community. Trustee Heller stated that
even though this development would not generate any additional sales tax revenue, he feels that by
adding the proposed apartments that the individuals living in those apartments would be generating
sales tax by frequenting the local stores and restaurants. Trustee Heller stated he is in favor of this
project and sees it as a positive for Northbrook.
Trustee Ciesla stated that she did challenge the developer to reduce the project by 10% and is
satisfied by the reduction which was presented tonight and found the reduction to be significant.
Trustee Ciesla pointed out that although this property is currently zoned for office use, she does not see
that ever happening. She stated that the business owners along Skokie Boulevard are in favor of this
project as they feel the vacant property is an eyesore. Trustee Ciesla feels this addition will enhance
what is offered on Skokie Boulevard.
Trustee Ciesla assured the audience that the Board would not allow a developer to come in who
is not seasoned. She stated that in respect to the tax issue, the Village Attorney has negotiated a
$40,000.00 per year impact fee from the developer for the next twelve (12) years. She also reminded
the audience that a negotiation of $2,000,000.00 in roadway improvements was agreed upon with the
developer. Trustee Ciesla stated she is in favor of the development.
Trustee Israel stated he primarily came in tonight to listen to both sides. Trustee Israel believes
the developer has addressed a lot of the items requested at the previous meetings. He believes the
development to be good, but is concerned about the uses, primarily secondary use. He realizes that this
development will impact some people, however also believes that this will be a benefit to many.
Chairman Karagianis applauded the developer for making the changes and making such efforts.
Trustee Buehler motioned seconded by Trustee Heller that the Planning and Zoning Committee
recommend approval of the amended development project for 1000 Skokie Boulevard and related relief
to the Board of Trustees. Village Attorney Elrod stated the documents could be ready for the next Board

MEMORANDUM
VILLAGE OF NORTHBROOK
DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING SERVICES DEPARTMENT
TO: RICHARD A. NAHRSTADT, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: DAVID SCHOON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
DATE: March 1, 2016
SUBJECT: PCD-15-15: 1000 SKOKIE - LIFE TIME FITNESS MIXED USE
- REVISED PLANS
BACKGROUND
On March 1, 2016, the Planning & Zoning Committee is scheduled to review further revisions to the
zoning and subdivision relief application submitted by LTF Real Estate Company, Inc., (“Applicant”), as
the contract purchaser of the property located at 1000 Skokie Boulevard (the “Subject Property”), which
is owned by Skodun LLC (the “Owner”). The Applicant is seeking concept plan and tentative plat
approval to construct a mixed use development project consisting of a luxury apartment building, a
physical fitness facility, and a child day care facility.
At the January 12, 2015, Village Board meeting, the Board was scheduled to consider the following legal
documents approving the requested zoning and subdivision relief (a copy of those meeting minutes are
attached).
A. An Ordinance Amending the Zoning Code to Permit Properties Within 400 Feet of the a
Residential Lot Line to be Rezoned to the O-4 Boulevard Office District;
B. An Ordinance Rezoning the Subject Property to the O-4 Boulevard Office District;
C. An Ordinance Granting Special Permits for a Planned Development with a Floor Area Ratio No
Greater than 0.73, a physical fitness facility, a child day care facility, and multiple family
dwellings in the O-4 District; and
D. A Resolution Approving the Development Concept Plan and the Tentative Plat of Subdivision,
and Providing Conceptual Approvals of Certain Special Permit Uses, Variations, and Waivers.
At that meeting the Applicant agreed to reduce the total number of apartment units by 10% in response
to concern expressed by Board members that the residential portion of the development was too dense.
The Board also voted to send the application to the Planning and Zoning Committee to review how the
Applicant proposes to change the design of the residential building to accommodate the 10% reduction
in units and to review the traffic circulation around the Children’s Learning Adventure (“CLA”) day care
facility.
Since the January meeting, the Village has received the attached additional written public comments.
REVISED PLANS
Density Reduction. The Applicant has submitted the attached revised site plan, landscape plan,
building elevations, and perspective drawings illustrating how it proposes to change the residential
building design to reduce the number of apartment units by 10%. (It should be noted that the Applicant
has informed staff that at the March 1 meeting, it intends to show a more refined image of the
Page 1
proposed building design changes.)
The proposed redesign of the building would eliminate 34 units, reducing the total number of units to
304. The gross floor area of the residential building would also be reduced by 52,000 square feet to a
total of 386,000 square feet, a 12 % reduction. The Applicant also proposes to maintain the same
parking ratio for the residential building of 1.78, which will lead to a reduction in the floor area of the
parking garage.
As the attached plans show, the Applicant proposes to reduce the massing of the building by eliminating
a wing along Sunset Ridge Road. This redesign would expose more of the exterior wall of the parking
garage. The Applicant has stated that the “parking garage will be constructed of attractive and high-
quality materials consistent with the remainder of the building and development”.
For comparison purposes, staff has also attached copies of the site plan, landscape plan, and residential
building design that were presented at previous Board meetings. Also for comparison, staff has
provided two comparison tables. One compares the current version of the project with the previous
version of the project as well as the NorthShore 770 project. The second table compares the floor area
ratio of the current version of the project with other recent major development projects in the
community (NorthShore 770, The Lodge, and North Shore Place).
Day Care Traffic Circulation. The Applicant has provided information regarding how pick-up and drop-
off would occur at the CLA facility. As it described during the Plan Commission public hearing process,
children are generally picked-up and dropped-off by one of two means: (1) by caregivers in cars or (2) by
CLA vans/small buses as part of the before- and afterschool care programs.
Caregivers are required to park their cars and walk the children into and out of the facility. The
Applicant proposes designating 100 parking spaces near the CLA facility entrance as “Reserved for
Children’s Learning Adventure Pick-up/Drop-Off 7 a.m.-9 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.” In the attached
letter, the Applicant further elaborates on the pick-up and drop-off process.
As with the other CLA facilities across the country, the Applicant had proposed that CLA vans/small
buses would park in a standard parking space near an entrance of the facility to pick-up and drop-off
children. Regarding this arrangement, the Plan Commission resolution regarding the proposed project
included a condition stating “The Applicant shall provide a marked loading zone exclusively for vans and
buses servicing the CLA building, which loading zone shall be oriented parallel and adjacent to the main
entrance of the CLA building.” The draft concept plan resolution the Board was scheduled to consider
on January 12 contained such a condition. The Applicant has revised the site plan to incorporate such a
loading area for vans and small buses. In doing so, the Applicant will lose 14 parking spaces along the
north face of the CLA building. However, the Applicant has been able to find locations scattered
throughout the surface parking lot for additional parking spaces. The net loss of parking would be only
9 spaces.
During the Plan Commission public hearings, the Commission spent a considerable amount of time
working with the Applicant regarding the adequacy of parking and the circulation for the Life Time
Fitness (“LTF”) and CLA facilities. Though the Applicant believed that its initial amount of proposed
parking for the two uses was adequate, the Applicant worked with the Commission to increase the
number of surface parking spaces by 17. The Applicant then also proposed to landbank 68 parking
spaces along Skokie Boulevard in the event it was determined by the Village Board in the future that
additional parking spaces becomes necessary once the facilities had been up and running. (It should be
noted that on the attached revised site plan, the Applicant has found locations long Skokie Boulevard for
4 additional landbanked parking spaces, bringing the total to 72). The current draft of the concept plan
resolution states that the requirement to maintain the landbanked parking area shall be in effect five
years from the date of the issuance of the last certificate of occupancy for any of the proposed three
uses. If after that period, the Village has not required the Applicant to install the landbanked parking
Page 2
spaces, the Applicant would be released from the landbanking requirement.
Other Plan Change to Note. In addition to changing the footprint of the residential building as well as
the parking as described above, the Applicant has also slightly changed the Sunset Ridge Road driveway
configuration to the parking garage to better accommodate moving vans’ access to the interior loading
bay. This driveway still contains separate in and out lanes and would still only allow right-in, right-out,
and left out turning movements. Left-in turn movements would still be prohibited.
SUMMARY
The Board requested that the Planning and Zoning Committee review two specific issues and to forward
its recommendation to the full Board. With that in mind, staff suggests that the Committee consider the
following two questions:
1. Does the Applicant’s proposed redesign of the residential building to reduce the number of units
by 10% address the Board’s concerns regarding the density of the proposed project?
2. Does the Applicant’s proposed pick-up and drop-off of children at the CLA building, including the
addition of a designated lane for vans and small buses, adequately address the Board’s concerns
regarding site circulation in the parking areas for the CLA and Life Time Fitness?
If the Committee should be ready to make a recommendation based upon the Applicant’s submittal,
staff is prepared to make the appropriate revisions to the approval documents for the full Board’s
consideration at the March 8 Board meeting.
At the March 1 meeting, Village staff and the Applicant will be prepared to make presentations
regarding the proposed revisions and to answer any questions.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
10. PLANNING/ZONING
B. 1000 SKOKIE BOULEVARD
Village Attorney Elrod noted the ordinances and resolution are included in the packet.
Trustee Karagianis stated he does not feel the project is appropriate for Northbrook. He
discussed an article in Crain’s Chicago Business from a few days ago that stated that offices are on the
upswing and another report indicating low vacancies for office space. He said he didn’t feel the zoning
for the subject property should be changed. He stated the Applicant is asking for every variance with
the exception of height and he feels it goes against the spirit of the zoning code. He said the proposed
development would not contribute anything to the Village except for property tax and he feels the
Village would be giving up an opportunity for retail sales tax income. He stated the mix of uses troubles
him in that there is essentially a school without a campus to protect the children. Trustee Karagianis
said the density of the project is equivalent to four Walmart’s. He compared the proposed development
to 770 Skokie Boulevard in regard to traffic. He questioned whether the community needs another
fitness facility and apartment building. He noted a tax advantage was granted in order to clean up the
subject property and said that advantage is now being used to create competition for existing
businesses in the Village. He concluded based upon these reasons he cannot support the project and
encouraged his fellow trustees to do the same.
Board of Trustees Page 1 Printed 1/22/2016
Regular Meeting Excerpts from Minutes January 12, 2016
Trustee Buehler noted the subject property has been a difficult parcel from the beginning and
discussed the history, location, and shape of the property. He stated the floor area ratio (FAR) is not
unlike 770 Skokie. He said some issues have not been dealt with such as traffic flow and compatibility of
uses. He welcomed discussion on these issues. He stated he generally supports the project as it is a
unique solution for a difficult parcel within the Village. He said the owner has a right to develop it within
certain guidelines and questioned how much the Village needs to give on the guidelines to make it
appropriate.
Trustee Scolaro stated he is in favor of the proposed development. He said retail is never going
in that property. He noted there were objections to every retailer interested in the property. In
response to Trustee Karagianis’ statement regarding office space, Trustee Scolaro stated office parks in
suburban locations are not being developed but there is an intensity of use in office space in larger
facilities and office buildings where the height restrictions the Village would impose do not exist. He
noted there have been no proposals for office development on the subject property. In terms of traffic,
he said he drives by the property on a regular basis during rush hour and has never encountered any
material traffic there. In regard to taxes, he inquired about taxes collected on the property for the past
fifteen years. He commented the tax revenue will increase tenfold. He stated he is in favor of the
project but wished it was less dense. He said he likes the Life Time Fitness, feels the learning academy
will be an interesting addition to the Village, and the residential building could be less dense.
Trustee Heller stated he tends to agree with Trustee Scolaro and noted the property has done
nothing for the Village for fifteen years. He said the property is ugly, abandoned, and not providing any
tax revenue. He stated a property that generates copious revenue that no one goes to does not exist.
He noted there are negatives to the proposed development but said in spite of those it is a positive for
Northbrook. He reiterated Trustee Israel’s comment about the exclusivity of the Life Time Fitness
facility and said he agrees and that is appropriate for Northbrook. He stated for many years the
property has been subject to a philosophy of ‘no’. He said Northbrook needs to go forward. He noted
Highland Park said ‘no’ to Northbrook Court and that the Village has reaped tremendous benefits from it
including tax dollars which have benefited the school districts.
Trustee Ciesla stated she is the trustee who lives and works on the east side of Northbrook. She
acknowledged that she liked the proposed use on this site; however she has received phone calls,
emails, and letters and has taken a closer look at the project. She had concluded and agrees that the
proposed development is too dense in terms of the residential. She suggested the project be sent to
Planning and Zoning Committee, if the developer of the residential building is willing to reduce the
Board of Trustees Page 2 Printed 1/22/2016
Regular Meeting Excerpts from Minutes January 12, 2016
number of units somewhere in the neighborhood of 10%. She stated she is also concerned about the
traffic flow around the day care facility. She also referred to previous discussions regarding the strain on
emergency services. Trustee Ciesla indicated between this development and 770 there could be 1,000
people added to the Village population. She reiterated the project should be vetted by the Planning and
Zoning Committee to be sure it is appropriate for Northbrook. She agreed with other trustees in respect
to the probable uses of the property. She stated if the property is to be developed, she wants to ensure
it is developed in the right way, does not strain Village resources, protects our children, and puts the
best foot forward on this vacant spot.
Trustee Israel noted that the trustees are coming at the same problem with different opinions
but agreeing on components and said this indicates to him that this is an unfinished product. He
commended the Developer for making the changes to make the development fit the parcel, the offers of
the proposed physical improvements to the roadway network, and the fee in lieu to offset the sales tax
deficit. He said in spite of this, he still feels the proposed development is lacking in multiuse. He stated
he has concerns with the compatibility of uses and cannot vote in favor of the proposed development.
President Frum stated she is in agreement with many of the trustee comments and feels this is a
conversation that should have taken place a few months ago, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have
it. She said she is not prepared to vote in favor of it tonight and would like to hear what the petitioner
has to say.
Rich Klawiter of DLA Piper (representing the Life Time Fitness) stated the Applicants are of the
mind you have to give a little to get a little. He said they have had side bars throughout the last several
days, know what the issues are, and hears even their supporters are echoing concerns about density.
He stated the Applicant is willing to reduce the density by 10% and willing to accept a recommendation
by the Board or condition that the final plan includes a density level of 337 minus 10% (or approximately
304 units). He stated the Applicant is also willing to have further discussions at the Planning and Zoning
Committee level but given the concession they are prepared to make tonight, they are anxious to
proceed with this project. He noted their original proposal was made in 2014 and they have made a
great deal of changes to the plan largely due to Plan Commission, community, Board, and staff input.
He stated this input has made a great project greater.
Trustee Ciesla stated she is not willing to vote in favor of this with a simple amendment and
feels it needs to be vetted appropriately in terms of traffic flow, etc. Trustee Ciesla moved, seconded by
Trustee Scolaro, to forward this issue to Planning and Zoning for a swift review.
Board of Trustees Page 3 Printed 1/22/2016
Regular Meeting Excerpts from Minutes January 12, 2016
Prior to the vote, Village Attorney Elrod reminded the Board the proposed development would
have to return for final plan approval, meaning the project would have to return to the Plan Commission
and no construction can occur until after the Commission makes a recommendation on the final plan,
the Board approves the final plan. There was a brief discussion regarding whether a vote should take
place on the Application.
President Frum polled the Trustees to determine the position of the Board on this issue.
Trustees Buehler, Scolaro, Heller, Ciesla, and Israel were in favor of sending the proposed application to
Planning and Zoning. Trustee Karagianis was opposed. President Frum invited public comment with the
understanding the Board has read all email and heard all comments and requested there be no
repetition of comments.
Greg Moyer identified himself as a developer and a partner at 885 Skokie Boulevard and stated
he has no vested interest in this project other than being a developer and tax payer in Northbrook. He
said Barilla Pasta is located in the building and approximately 160 employees are employed in the
building. He noted he completed 250 apartments in Deerfield similar in design to that being proposed.
He stated there has been no traffic problems near this residential building and had leased 55% of the
units within five months of completion. He noted the apartments are in very high demand. In response
to a question from Trustee Scolaro, Mr. Moyer stated the building is located on Deerfield Road near
Interstate 294 on Parkway Boulevard. He stated he and his associates look at the project as an amenity
for the employees of Barilla Pasta and feels the property has been an eyesore for years.
Michael Doman stated he is an eighteen-year resident of and has an office in Northbrook. He
said he couldn’t think of adding anything better than a fitness facility that encourages people to exercise
rather than a bar or restaurant. He noted that Life Time Fitness is a well-heeled company and said if
they are willing to invest their time and efforts in adding a facility in Northbrook where people can
afford to join he is all in favor of it. He stated he does not believe there is a traffic concern and the
Board should consider approving this project. Mr. Doman stated Trustee Ciesla requested a 10%
reduction which was accommodated by the Applicant and she should take that into consideration.
Bob Soudan stated he is one of the owners of 990 Skokie Boulevard, the next door neighbor to
the north of the property. He said he likes the project and will be most affected by it. He acknowledged
the Village should ensure traffic is addressed but he does not want to be next to a vacant mound of dirt.
He noted his company will be investing heavily in the Village and would like to see the project move
forward.

Regular Meeting Excerpts from Minutes January 12, 2016
Joe Johnson of 777 Sunset Ridge in Northfield stated he does not believe the Village has taken
the infrastructure into consideration. He expressed his concerns regarding traffic. He suggested the
traffic at Life Time Fitness will be similar to that of a grocery store. . He said this project will impact the
value of his property.
Mark Kolar of 1016 Dell in Northbrook East stated he is in support of the project. He said he and
his family have lived in this neighborhood for over forty years and have an interest in seeing a successful
redevelopment of the area. He said he did not know what to expect from the 770 development but it
has been an excellent amenity in his opinion. He stated traffic has been flowing smoothly since this
development has been on line, and he and his family are enjoying the new restaurants and amenities.
He indicated the fitness and daycare facilities will attract younger families to the area increasing
property values. He noted there is little if any established day care in the area. He suggested Life Time
Fitness is a higher end option that will draw Northbrook as well as residents from neighboring North
Shore communities and these residents will be spending money in Northbrook.
Sheryl Ziegman of 1025 Midway Road addressed Trustee Scolaro and said residents of the
neighborhood immediate to the proposed development cannot get out to Dundee Road or Sunset Ridge
Road and the traffic is very dense. She encouraged the Board to pay for a market study to determine if
the apartments are viable. She said she is in favor or townhomes where residents would be vested in
the community rather than transient apartment dwellers. She reiterated traffic and parking concerns in
respect to Children’s Learning Center.
Thomas Deere, chief operating officer of Five Seasons, stated the facility is a long-standing
partner of the community. He stated he is opposed to the tax advantages offered to the Developer and
feels these advantages make the playing field unlevel. He said the schools in Northbrook are excellent
because of tax payers such as Five Seasons.
Stephen Szumowski of 216 Voltz discussed concessions in setbacks that he feels will destroy the
quiet enjoyment of the adjacent residential neighborhood.
President Frum called for the vote on the motion and asked that the Planning and Zoning
Committee meet regarding this project as soon as possible for a thorough and quick review. On roll call
voting aye were Trustees Buehler, Scolaro, Heller, Ciesla, Israel, and President Frum. Voting no was
Trustee Karagianis. The motion passed.

Please pass my comments to the appropriate Board members.
The Board supported the Lifeime Fitness plan in October, January -not anymore. Wal-Mart No. Costco No, etc.
NO plan is ever going to be acceptable to the residents in that immediate area. They would like it to stay vacant so there
will be no impact on traffic or noise.
Is that really what is in Northbrook's best interest? For 15 years this property has been not only an eyesore but a financial
void, no sales tax revenue or real estate tax revenue is being generated. No one wants development in their backyard but
it's time to stop coddling some outspoken residents to the benefit of the greater good, the rest of the Village of Northbrook.
Not too many developers will approach Northbrook to develop this property because it will, ultimately, not be worth the
time investment let alone the financial investment if this precedent has been set.

Subject: 19 Years and Counting: 1000 Skokie Blvd
Subject: 19 years and counting re. 1000 Skokie Blvd.
I first became involved in this story when Susan Jacobs and I created NEHA. I was
President for 8 ½ years and Susan took over. Many proposals have been made for the
vacant land on Sunset Ridge and Skokie Blvd/Frontage Road. With the exception of the
Lifetime Fitness project currently before the Board, all earlier proposals have been
withdrawn or rejected by the Plan Commission before getting to the Board. I am sending
this email not as a member of NEHA but as a concerned resident looking to the
future. The economy is taking a down hill path and it is time to generate more income.
Past plans were rejected on the basis of traffic, zoning and impact. Residents and
nearby businesses have been involved in evaluating all of the plans and their impact on
surrounding residential and business areas. Some objections have been valid and
others have been ridiculous. NEHA has always maintained that we do not object to
good development; we object to bad development that the area simply cannot
accommodate or that will negatively impact our business and residential neighborhoods.
The main issue has been traffic. I agree, Sunset Ridge is a 2 land road with no
shoulders. There are 51 curb cuts all the way south to Willow Road. There are no
turning lanes, and when buses, garbage trucks, etc. have to stop, they make it very
difficult to pass. Vehicles turning left off of Sunset Ridge back up traffic; there are no
traffic lights or stop signs to regulate the flow of traffic on this road. In the past, any
mention of widening Sunset Ridge has met with strong objections from Voltz Rd.
residents, the Village of Northfield, The Forest Preserve, Sunset Ridge Country Club,
etc. Any traffic problems on nearby Dundee, Waukegan or Willow immediately clog
Midway and Voltz Road as drivers use those streets to avoid Sunset Ridge. Frontage
Road is mostly 2 lanes, with no available land to widen that road any further.
The Village Board and its Committees are not in synch with development proposals or
residents’ concerns. While residents worry about traffic, some village officials complain
about the low amount of sales tax revenues that the current proposal will generate.
However, over the past 19 years, this property has generated little to no income for the
village. How much has it cost the village to prepare numerous reports, form committees,
hold lengthy hearings, meet with various developers and residents? In addition, the

Comprehensive Plan calls for this property to be developed as “mixed use.” Now that a
truly “mixed use” development is on the table, some Board members complain that they
want more retail, which residents and current nearby office developments don’t want.
The current economic situation is mixed. Here we have a developer who will bring
businesses that will create sales tax revenues both directly and indirectly. It will not
bring as much as a big box store, but big box retailers are closing, and we have done
our research proving that this property is not suitable for big box retail. Area businesses
and residents will use the daycare, the fitness center, and the apartment complex.
Those who use the new facilities will bring their business to Northbrook’s nearby
retailers.
Grab what you can before it’s gone. It will be a long time before another plan of this
quality comes along. This group of developers has shown good faith in listening to the
residents’ and Village concerns, the developers are willing to pay for some road
improvements, and the surrounding businesses support this project.
I urge you to put your stamp of approval on this project.
