Rand Road Special use to permit the operation of a medical office (dentist) STAFF REPORT: TO: Palatine Planning and Zoning Commission Jan Wood, Chair FROM: R. Auer PETITIONER: Mykola Rudyk PLAN NUMBER: SU-000224-2025 BACKGROUND: The Subject Property is zoned “B-2” – General Business District, and was most recently operated as a furniture store (Elle Gant). The Petitioner is proposing to operate a dental and dental cosmetics practice at the subject property. Pursuant to 11.03(d)(43) of the Palatine Zoning Ordinance, Special use approval is required to operate a medical office in the “B-2” zoning district. KEY ISSUES: • The Subject Property is approximately 33,119 square feet in area. • The building is approximately 6,760 square feet in size. For business uses in the Village of Palatine, parking spaces are required at a rate of 1 space per 300 square feet in floor area. Using the parking ratio, this business warrants 23 spaces. The associated parking lot contains 31 spaces and therefore exceeds the minimum parking requirement. • The proposed business hours are Monday through Saturday, between 8am and 5pm. The business anticipates to serve 25-30 patients daily as operations and client base expand. Controlled substances/narcotics will not be stored on-site. • Average daily staffing will consist of six personnel. • There are no exterior building modifications included in this proposal. • The applicant currently practices dentistry in Des Plaines, IL. The applicant has a Page 8 of 65 current professional license listed online through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. • Upon review of the subject property, Staff noted existing site elements such as site landscaping and sections of the existing asphalt/pavement that are substandard. These items will need to be remediated, through the building permit process, to meet Village standards prior to issuance of an occupancy permit. STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE: Since this Petition is not for a use publicly operated or traditionally affected with the public interest, those standards under Section 14.05 D (2) and (3) are applicable. Specifically, the Petitioners must show that the Special Use, if granted, is so designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, and welfare will be protected and will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located. The Petitioners have attempted to address the required standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed use is contemplated as Special use in the current “B-2” zoning district and is consistent with the designated business/commercial use established by the Comprehensive Plan’s future land use map. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the special use application. If the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval, Staff recommends the following conditions: 1. The Special Use shall substantially conform to the Floor Plan and Business Plan submitted by Mykola Rudyk, except as such plans may be changed to conform to the Village’s Codes and Ordinances. 2. In conjunction with the building permit review for the dental office, a landscaping plan/narrative and a pavement maintenance plan shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning, with the required plan submission, in conjunction with the required building permit application and plans.

Wood Street  Palatine, IL  60067-5339 Telephone: (847) 359-9047  Fax (847) 963-6247 Petitioner Name Business Name (if applicable) Mykola Rudyk Subject Property Address 1800 N RAND RD Palatine, IL 60074 Please provide a description of your proposed request: Dental Office providing general and specialty dental care. The following dental services will be provided: fixed and removable restorative dentistry, oral surgery, root canal therapy, implants, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and treatment of patients with special needs. Petitioner Justification Special Uses shall not be granted except on findings based upon the evidence in each specific case. Please address the following standards as these will be used in considering the specific relief you are seeking. That use deemed necessary for the public convenience at that location. Explain: This location will be very convenient for patients, as it has direct access to N Rand Rd and offers 40 free parking spots (6.67 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.). Dr. Rudyk completed an Advanced Care Fellowship at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI, focusing mainly on dental treatment for patients with special needs. After relocation, we plan to establish a collaboration with anesthesiologists to provide dental services to this group of patients under general anesthesia. Most of the time, treatment options are very limited for this group of patients, leaving them underserved. At our practice, we plan to provide comprehensive and high-quality dental treatment to all patients, including disabled persons, utilizing the most recent technologies in dentistry. The use is designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, welfare will be protected. Explain: This dental practice will provide dental services to improve the overall health, economy, and quality of life of the community. The facility will be wheelchair accessible to accommodate patients with special needs. Page 10 of 65 The use will not cause substantial injury to nearby property values. Explain: The use of space as a dental office will most likely increase the value of the surrounding properties. Currently, the building is not used by any business. When we relocate our existing dental practice, it will bring around 2000 existing patients to this location, with more coming down the road. We will renovate the building outside and inside, repair the parking lot, and improve landscaping. Our closest neighbors, the "Rand Road Animal Hospital" and "Advanced Auto Parts," will only benefit from dental practice since our patients potentially may become their customers. In order to supplement the above standards, the Planning and Zoning Commission may also consider the following: With respect to front yard fencing and fencing in a rear yard/side yard abutting a street, the following additional standards must be met: a. Will meet the following aesthetic criteria: i. Will not destroy existing vistas in the area; ii. Will enhance the appearance of the homes and the streets in the area; and iii. Will not detract from the overall appearance of the community; or b. The fencing is found to be necessary to protect private property or the safety of the inhabitants of the property. There is an existing fence in place. We will maintain it in a good shape. It will be replaced if deteriorates over time. Overall, the aesthetic appearance of the building and landscaping will be improved and won't detract from the overall appearance of the community.

With a current loyal patient base of approximately 2,000 patients and a well-established reputation for high-quality, personalized dental care, the practice is well-positioned to capture additional market share. This report outlines the organizational structure, key personnel, marketing initiatives, and competitive analysis for the practice's expansion. **1. Company Overview** Dr. Mykola Rudyk is a clinical professor at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine and owns a dental practice renowned for its evidence-based, comprehensive dental services. The practice emphasizes personalized care, catering to each patient’s unique needs, which fosters strong and enduring patient relationships. **2. Services** Our dental practice is dedicated to providing comprehensive, evidence-based dental care. We offer a full spectrum of services designed to meet the diverse oral health needs of individuals and families across all generations. Our integrated approach ensures that patients can receive a wide range of treatments under one roof, from routine preventive care to advanced specialty procedures, all tailored to promote lasting oral wellness and comfort. • Preventive & Diagnostic Care This group of services forms the foundation of optimal oral health, focusing on proactive measures to prevent dental issues and accurate early detection. Our Page 13 of 65  approach includes regular check-ups, professional cleaning, fluoride treatments, and comprehensive oral examinations using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools. These services are crucial for identifying potential problems before they escalate, allowing for timely and less invasive interventions. We emphasize patient education during these visits, empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools for effective home oral hygiene, contributing to a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our advanced digital imaging suite will feature 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and high-resolution intraoral cameras. This technology provides superior diagnostic data resolution and depth compared to conventional radiography. The enhanced clarity and three-dimensional views enable more precise diagnosis, improved treatment planning, and safer execution of complex procedures, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced chair time. • General Dental Care Our General Dental Care services address common dental problems and maintain overall oral health. These treatments are designed to restore function, alleviate discomfort, and enhance the aesthetics of our patients' smiles. This comprehensive category includes: Dental Fillings: We provide various types of fillings to restore teeth affected by decay, preventing further damage and preserving tooth structure. Dental Crowns and Bridges: Custom-made crowns are used to cap damaged teeth, restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Bridges are utilized to replace one or more missing teeth, bridging the gap with artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants. We are using CAD/CAM technology for 3D printing, intraoral 3D scanning, computer-aided design, and manufacturing of fixed dental restorations. Dentures: We offer both complete and partial dentures as removable options to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues, restoring chewing ability and facial aesthetics. Tooth Extraction: When a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or creating overcrowding, extraction may be necessary. Our team performs extractions with utmost care and comfort. Page 14 of 65  Veneers: For cosmetic enhancements, veneers are custom-made, thin shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance, correcting issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth. • Advanced & Specialty Procedures This category encompasses a range of specialized treatments that address more complex dental conditions, often requiring advanced expertise and technology. These services are crucial for comprehensive oral rehabilitation and include: Root Canal Therapy: This procedure is performed to save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed, removing the damaged pulp, cleaning and shaping the inside of the root canal, and then filling and sealing it. This alleviates pain and prevents further infection. Periapical Surgery: This specialized surgical procedure treats infection or inflammation around the root tip of a tooth when conventional root canal treatment is not sufficient or has failed. Dental Implant Surgery: We offer state-of-the-art dental implant surgery utilizing 3D printed surgical guides, a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Implants consist of titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots to support crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing superior stability and a natural feel. Orthodontic Aligners: For discreet teeth straightening, we provide orthodontic aligners. These custom-made, clear, removable trays gradually shift teeth into their desired positions, offering an aesthetic and convenient alternative to traditional braces. Oral Surgery: Our oral surgery services cover a broad spectrum of procedures, including wisdom tooth extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifting, tuberosity reduction, exostosis and tori removal, frenuloplasty, biopsy, and other treatments related to the mouth, teeth, jaws, and face, performed with precision and patient comfort in mind. Periodontal Surgery: Focused on the health of gums and supporting bone, periodontal surgery addresses advanced gum disease. Procedures may include Page 15 of 65  gum grafting, pocket reduction surgery, or regenerative procedures to restore periodontal health and prevent tooth loss. Pediatric Dentistry: We are dedicated to providing comprehensive dental care for children from infancy through adolescence. Our pediatric dentistry services focus on preventive care, early detection, and treatment of dental diseases in a child- friendly environment, fostering positive dental experiences from a young age and promoting lifelong oral health. • Special Needs Dental Care Understanding that every patient is unique, our Special Needs Dental Care is specifically designed for individuals with physical, medical, developmental, or cognitive disabilities, as well as those facing significant dental anxiety or complex health considerations. **3. Organization Structure and Key Personnel** • We plan to employ two dentists who will be central to delivering comprehensive dental solutions, leveraging their extensive knowledge across diverse dental specialties. Their expertise will enable us to address a wide range of patient needs internally, supporting our commitment to complete dental care. • One Dental Hygienist will join our team. This role is crucial for preventive and diagnostic care, reinforcing our dedication to fostering a lifetime of optimal oral health for all generations. • Two Dental Assistants will provide essential support to our dentists and hygienist, ensuring smooth clinical operations and enhancing patient comfort during treatments. Their presence will contribute to the efficiency and quality of our delivery service. • Two Receptionists are the first point of contact for our patients and play a vital role in creating a welcoming and organized environment. Their empathetic communication skills will be instrumental in fostering trust and personalized care experiences from the moment a patient interacts with our practice. Page 16 of 65 Every staff member will be employed full-time, except Dr. Mykola Rudyk, who will be working 3 days a week. The rest of his time, Dr. Rudyk serves as a faculty member at the dental college. Dental practice operating hours: Monday – Saturday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm The dental practice floor plan includes 13 treatment rooms. At the beginning, we plan to equip and use 8 rooms (4 rooms for 2 dentists, 1 room for a hygienist, 2 rooms for walk-in and emergency patients, and 1 room for treatment under sedation). The rest is left for future growth and expansion. Practice will start with approximately 2000 existing patients and will gradually grow. Currently, on average, we have 35 new patients per month. This number will increase once we start implementing more marketing strategies by utilizing Google Maps Advertising, Social Media Campaigns, and Direct Mail Campaigns. A normal ratio is 1300-1500 patients per one full-time dentist. By the time the practice starts operating, the number of patients will be sufficient to maintain 1 full-time and 1 part-time dentist. Dental hygienist will be receiving patients from dentists. On average, one provider treats 10 patients per day. After adding another dentist and hygienist, we expect to see around 25-30 patients per day on average. We plan to stay at this location long term and want to reserve some dental operatories for future growth. With the growth of the patient base, we will add more providers to the practice. To comfortably accommodate patients and their guests, a dental practice typically needs 1.5-2 seats in the waiting area for every dental operatory. Since we’ll start with 8 treatment rooms, the waiting area should have 12-16 chairs. **4. Competitive Analysis** The competitive landscape of dental care in the area includes several established practices. However, Dr. Rudyk’s practice differentiates itself through the following: - We offer a single source for all dental needs, from Preventive & Diagnostic Care to Advanced & Specialty Procedures and Special Needs Dental Care, ensuring comprehensive and diverse treatment options. This eliminates the need for patients to visit multiple specialists, offering convenience and continuity of care. - Our focus is on building lasting relationships through personalized treatment plans and empathetic communication. We prioritize understanding individual patient needs and concerns, fostering an environment of trust and comfort. Page 17 of 65 - Our practice is equipped to treat patients across all age groups, including those with special needs, making us a central hub for family oral wellness in the local community. - We are using the most recent innovative technologies in dentistry (digital intraoral 3D scanning, 3D printing, Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Guided Implant Surgery, CAD/CAM Technology, etc.) - When practice is established, we plan to collaborate with anesthesiologists to provide dental services under sedation. No controlled substances (narcotics) will be stored in the office. This commitment to comprehensive care positions the practice as a leader in patient satisfaction and loyalty, essential components in a competitive market. **5. Conclusion** The strategic relocation and expansion of Dr. Mykola Rudyk’s dental practice present a robust opportunity for growth, characterized by increased patient base and improved service provision. With effective marketing strategies, a commitment to personalized care, and a well-defined business plan, the practice is set to enhance its footprint in the dental care market significantly. Continued success will depend on executing these strategies and maintaining the high standards that have established Dr. Rudyk’s practice as a trusted provider in the community.

Wood Street, relative to a request for the following: Special Use to permit a dental office. The property is commonly known as 1800 N. Rand Road. The petitioner is proposing a dental office business at the subject property. The above petition has been filed by Mykola Rudyk, and is available for examination in the office of the Village Clerk, 200 E. Wood Street. FILE #: SU-000224-2025 VILLAGE OF PALATINE Jan Wood, Chair Palatine Planning and Zoning Commission DATED: This 20th day of November 2025 Page 20 of 65 Page 21 of 65  IV.B 1597 N. Rand Road STAFF REPORT: TO: Palatine Planning and Zoning Commission Jan Wood, Chair FROM: Lyn Bremanis PETITIONER: Amit Patel, OM Ohana Palatine Realty LLC PLAN NUMBER: SU-000213-2025 BACKGROUND: The subject property is zoned B-2 (General Business) and was annexed into the Village in 1999. In October 2024, the lot was included in a resubdivision and received approval for a drive-through restaurant (KFC); however, the project was never constructed. The Petitioner is now requesting approval of a new Special Use and Variation to redevelop the site for a Hawaiian Bros restaurant, with a drive-through. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting: 1. Special Use to permit a restaurant with a drive-thru 2. Variation to permit 19 parking spaces instead of the required 25. 3. Variation to permit 534 square feet of total signage instead of the maximum permitted total signage of 186 square feet. KEY ISSUES: • The proposal includes demolishing the existing structure while retaining the existing foundation, and constructing a new 2,541-square-foot building with an incorporated drive-thru lane. • The parking lot and drive-thru layout meet all applicable code requirements, including the provision of seven (7) stacking spaces in the drive-thru lane. The building also meets the setback requirements of the B-2 Zoning District. The site plan shows that the existing access driveway on Rand Road will remain. • The applicant proposes hours of operation from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily. Staffing is anticipated to average seven (7) employees on site at a time, with an expected customer volume of approximately 20 walk-in customers and 40 drive- thru customers. • Parking for the proposed use is required at a rate of 1 space per 100 square feet Page 22 of 65  of building area, or 1 space per 2.5 seats, whichever is greater. Based on a building area of 2,541 square feet and 35 seats, the use requires 25 parking spaces. The proposed site plan provides 19 parking spaces, resulting in a deficiency of six (6) spaces. Therefore, a parking variation will be required. Staff notes that the requested parking variation is directly comparable to the parking variation previously approved for the former drive-through restaurant on the site. • Per Code, the site is permitted a maximum of 186 square feet of signage. As shown in the table below, the current proposal exceeds this allowance and would require a sign variation. Per Code, sign area is calculated using the smallest rectangle that fully encloses the sign. Because several of the proposed signs are irregular in shape, the calculated area is significantly larger than the actual graphic area. For example, the Hawaiian Islands (E06) wall sign calculates to 119 square feet, although approximately 76% of that area is empty space. Drive-thru and directional signage are not included in the total allowable signage calculation. STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE: Since this Petition is not for a use publicly operated or traditionally affected with the public interest, those standards under Section 14.05 D (2) and (3) are applicable. Specifically, the Petitioners must show that the Special Use, if granted, is so designed, located, and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety, and welfare will be protected and will not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located. The Petitioners have attempted to address the required standards. STANDARDS FOR A VARIATION: Standards for a Variation are found in Section 14.03 D (1) and (2) of the Zoning Code. Specifically, the Petitioners must show that the property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations governing the district in which it is located; that the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances; and that the variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The Petition for Variation is Page 23 of 65 attached, and the Petitioners have attempted to address the required standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Petitioner is requesting approval to reuse the existing building foundation and construct a new drive-thru restaurant. The proposed building and drive-thru lane comply with the B-2 District bulk standards as well as the required stacking provisions. Drive-thru uses are also common within the Dundee/Rand Road corridor, making this use consistent with the surrounding commercial area. A parking variation is requested as part of the proposal. Based on the business plan, the majority of customers are expected to utilize the drive-thru. As a result, Staff believes the proposed parking supply should be adequate for the intended operations. In addition, while the requested sign variation is significant when calculated per Code, much of the proposed signage consists of decorative elements and negative space. As a result, Staff does not believe the signage will alter the character of the area, given that the actual sign area is substantially less than the calculated variation square footage. Further, any approval would be tied to the specific sign elevations submitted, ensuring that a future operator with different signage plans could not rely on this variation for unrelated designs.Because the actual sign square footage is well below the noticed variation square footage, Staff finds the request to be reasonable. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the Special Use and Variations, pursuant to the following conditions: 1. The Special Use and Variation shall substantially conform to the engineering plans prepared by Weaver Consultant Group dated 8/28/2024, elevations prepared by Design Plus dated 8/19/2024 and the business plan submitted by the Petitioner, except as such plans may be changed to conform to Village Codes and Ordinances. 2. The traffic directional signage plan shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Village Engineer or Director of Planning and Zoning. 3. The final landscaping plan shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the Director of Planning and Zoning. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Aerial Map 2. Special Use and Variation Application 3.

Page 2 of 2 Page 29 of 65  Village of Palatine Variance Application Petitioner Justification for proposed Hawaiian Bros at 1597 N Rand Road, Palatine, IL 60074: That the property cannot yield a reasonable return if used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations governing the zoning district in which it is located: 1. Parking space variance: If used under conditions of the zoning district it would impact the layout of the site eliminating a drive-thru which is required to operate as a drive-thru restaurant and serves a large portion of Hawaiian Bros clients. 2. Signage variance: Most of the elements presented forth are architectural elements, standard within the brand and design of the stores for this customer and important for brand recognition. That the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances: 1. Parking space variance: This is due to the unique circumstances of the site with the multiple existing accesses to the site needed to remain to keep existing traffic patterns limiting the amount of parking areas on site. 2. Signage variance: The building sits between adjacent structures, limiting visibility to oncoming traffic. These site-specific conditions create a hardship in meeting the visibility needs for business identification under the current sign code. That the Variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: 1. Parking space variance: This will not alter the essential character of the locality as the building is remaining a commercial use with the same site access as well as similar traffic flow patterns with parking located in similar spots. 2. Signage variance: The proposed signage variation will not alter the essential character of the locality. The design, materials, and illumination are consistent with other commercial signage in the area and maintain the overall visual harmony of the corridor. The sign is scaled appropriately for the building and surrounding properties, and will not create visual clutter or distraction. In order to supplement the above standards, the Planning and Zoning Commission may also consider the following: a. The particular surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the property. b. A unique hardship for the property not generally applicable to other properties in the same zoning district. 100 Camelot Drive | Fond du Lac, WI 54935 Always a Better Plan 920.926.9800 | excelengineer.com Page 30 of 65  c. The request is not based on a desire to make more money out of the property. d. The petitioner has not created the alleged hardship for the property. e. The request will not be detrimental the public welfare or other properties in the neighborhood. f. The request will not impair supply of light and air to adjacent properties, substantially increase the danger of fire, endanger 1. Parking space variance: The shape and size of the property have impacted the locations for the parking locations. Based on the location of the existing building parking on the east side of the building is not possible due to parking stall dimension and drive aisle dimension requirements. Additional hardship is not being created for the property as the proposed scope is reusing the existing infrastructure in place. Supply of light will not be impacted and proposed condition is shown via PXP. 2. Signage variance: The request will not obstruct light or air to adjacent properties and will comply with all applicable electrical and building safety codes. The sign illumination will be low-glare LED lighting consistent with city standards and will not pose any hazard to public safety or traffic visibility. 100 Camelot Drive | Fond du Lac, WI 54935 Always a Better Plan 920.926.9800 | excelengineer.com Page 31 of 65 Page 32 of 65 Page 33 of 65 Page 34 of 65 Page 35 of 65 Page 36 of 65 Page 37 of 65 Page 38 of 65 Page 39 of 65 Page 40 of 65 Page 41 of 65 Page 42 of 65 Page 43 of 65 Page 44 of 65 Page 45 of 65 Page 46 of 65 Page 47 of 65 Page 48 of 65 Page 49 of 65 Page 50 of 65 Page 51 of 65 Page 52 of 65 Page 53 of 65 Page 54 of 65 Page 55 of 65 Page 56 of 65 September 2, 2025 Project: Hawaiian Bros 1597 N.
