The Village will receive $361,988 in Community Development Block Grant – CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funding. The CDBG-CV program is built off the standard CDBG program, with a few adjustments. Informational training sessions, public input, and program planning occurred, followed by the approval of a CDBG-CV plan by the Board of Trustees. Several programs are envisioned for Skokie’s CDBG-CV funds, including approximately $100,000 in rent, mortgage, and/or utility subsistence payment assistance to low/moderate-income households impacted by COVID-19. Entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities, and must give maximum feasible priority to activities that assist low-income residents, households, and/or neighborhoods. Other activities may be carried out after the community certifies that they meet other community development needs with a particular urgency. Existing conditions must pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the entire community in order to be declared as urgent. Activities that do not meet one of these broad national objectives may not be undertaken with CDBG-CV funds. Funding Proposal Instructions Applications that meet Skokie residents’ needs, a HUD National Objective, eligible activity requirements, and prevent, prepare for, or respond to the COVID-19 will be reviewed. All projects/activities must benefit low/moderate-income persons or households and comply with one or more of HUD’s National Objectives. HUD has waived the 15% social services cap for the CDBG-CV CARES Act grant. Only non-profit and local government organizations and are eligible to apply for public service funding. Organizations must be incorporated under state law and have a 501(c)(3) designation from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Applicants must also demonstrate the ability to comply with all HUD rules and regulations. *** Location Requirement *** All households assisted with your agency’s program shall meet CDBG-CV income eligibility requirements and be located in Skokie 60076, Skokie 60077, or Evanston 60203 to be potentially eligible for one or more subsistence payments, supporting up to a maximum of three (3) months. Proposals are due Wednesday, July 22, 2020, at 5 p.m. CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 1 Funding Proposal Evaluation The following criteria will be used to evaluate to each request: 1. The program meets CDBG national objectives and eligibility requirements. 2. The program’s efficiency and effectiveness by considering the number of residents and/or households to be assisted per dollar of funding. Consider a balance of helping as many Skokie residents as possible, and the time it takes to review each application and manage each case. 3. The agency’s history with Skokie’s CDBG program and the capacity to meet administrative requirements (as evidenced by general CDBG experience and financial reports). 4. The program avoids duplication of services with existing programs, including other programs funded with CARES Act funds. 5. The Village reserves the right to increase or decrease any or all funding requests to maximize effectiveness or to satisfy budget parameters.

Amid the current pandemic, our Board of Directors approved a 90 day provisional spending plan in June that incorporates a variety of scenarios. It is more nimble than an annual operating budget and has allowed us to create multiple budget strategies to account for major public funding variables (FEMA reimbursement, CARES Act funding, etc). Our Board has also set clear expectations of the need for ongoing, comprehensive fiancial reporting so they can closely monitor our financial situation. Thus, we do not currently have a proposed budget for the next fiscal year. * Required attachment Submit complete applications to: Village of Skokie Community Development Department Carrie Haberstich, Planner/CDBG Administrator CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 3  carrie.haberstich@skokie.org Application deadline: Wednesday, July 22, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. Proposals will not be accepted after this date and time.

A. Program 1. Project Description Describe the COVID-19-specific program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals. Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less) Connections has more than 25 years of experience operating rental and mortgage assistance programs to keep families in their homes and avoid the costs and trauma of evictions and foreclousures. During 2019, Connections supported 171 families across north suburban Cook County by providing direct financial assistance to local landlords and mortgage and utility companies to get back on their feet. We are well equipped to administer and deliver $100,000 in rental, mortgage, and utility assistance to Skokie residents. In fact, it is work we are already doing. In just the past three months, Connections has provided more than $40,000 in financial assistance to 15 Skokie households via rental, mortgage and utility assistance. Our team has the expertise to utilize and assess households for the various state and federal funds that are available to meet their needs. We estimate a grant of $100,000 will help us serve 40 more households (with an average amount of assistance of $2,500 each) to ensure they can remain in their homes. In addition, $15,000 of funding will partially support our case management efforts to assess each household in need of assistance, determine if there are other programs and services they are eligible for, and complete applications and documentation to issue the payments to local landlords and mortgage and utility companies. $5,000 of funding is requested for administrative expenses related to accounting, invoicing, and reporting. 2. Previous CDBG Funding Has your organization received CDBG funds before? (Select one) ☒ Yes ☐ No 3. Your agency will have one or more HUD-certified housing counselors on or before August 1, 20201: (select one) ☐ Yes ☒ No If no, enter the date in which your Skokie housing counselor(s) will be HUD-certified: 1 A HUD Certified Housing Counselor is not required to process “subsistence payments” for up to 3 months. A budget and financial analysis, an action plan, follow-up, and referrals require a HUD Certified Housing Counselor, and should not be included in the Skokie CDBG-CV residential financial assistance proposal. CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 6 4. Your agency has access to the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) as a step to avoid duplication of benefits: (select one) ☒ Yes ☐ No If no, provide a plan as to how your agency will obtain access to the HMIS: CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 7 B. Service Area 1. Describe your agency’s service area, listing any municipalities served. Connections for the Homeless serves people across north suburban Cook County. Our primary service area includes the City of Evanston and the townships of Maine, New Trier, Niles, and Northfield. However, except in cases where funding restricts who we can serve, all our programs and services are open to anyone in need. 2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie? (Select one) ☒ Yes ☐ No 3. Describe any additional criteria for your program. There is a significant benefit to have Connections for the Homeless administer and deliver the $100,000 in financial assistance to Skokie residents. We have a history of this work, the infrastructure in place, and a team with the knowledge about all other available resources (both at Connections and external partners) to meet multiple needs. Our team will assess each household to determine eligibility for all available funding sources, the best match to meet the households’ need, and eligibility for other public benefits (LIHEAP, SNAP, General Assistance benefits, among others). Households will also be welcome to visit our drop-in services (2121 Dewey Avenue, Evanston) which are open Monday through Friday for people to access our food pantry, lunches, toiletries, basic supplies, and clothing. Our ultimate goal across our programs and services is to screen people into services to ensure we can meet all their basic needs as they work to strengthen, stabilize and secure their future. 4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Skokie? Connections serves more than 2,100 people each year across our three primary programs: eviction prevention, shelter, and housing. All these programs are open to Skokie residents, and we currently serve Skokie residents in each of these three areas. Most people accessing financial/prevention assistance come to us via direct referrals from community partners or by calling our main number. We also operate daily drop-in services that are open and accessible to all to meet their basic needs, and those are located at 2121 Dewey Avenue in Evanston. Skokie residents utilize these services and occasionally present at this location asking for financial/prevention assistance. Our shelter programming is located in Evanston, and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have placed more than 300 people into local hotels and a new 24/7 emergency shelter we launched. Skokie residents are being served in our shelter programs. Finally, our housing programs include short-and long-term rental subsidies coupled with case management services to help people move forward on their path to overcome homelessness. We own 2 two- flat buildings in Skokie that are housing 4 formerly homeless families. We also have multiple units rented throughout the Skokie community from local landlords for formerly homeless families. CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 8 5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or agencies provide(s) similar services? Connections is the only agency in the region delivering a multi-pronged approach to prevent and end homelessness. There are other groups in the region providing emergency financial assistance. However, we know these funds are limited and the demand far exceeds the capacity. Thus, we work to complement these efforts to deliver the full amount of assistance a family needs to get back on their feet. There are no other year-round shelter providers in the region, and certainly no other agencies in the region that have responded to the COVID-19 crisis in the way that we have to meet the needs of our neighbors who are homeless. Finally, there are some agencies who have housing programs across the northern suburbs. However, the need for affordable housing programs, and especially affordable housing programs coupled with wrap-around case management services, is far greater than the current availability. Thus, there is a gap between those who need this type of support to maintain their home and what is actually available. CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 9 C. Program Client Statistics 1. List services provided to clients (shelter, counseling, financial assistance, etc.): We expect to serve approximately 40 Skokie households (60 people) with $100,000 in financial assistance for rent, mortgage, and utility payments. Households will also have access to other basic needs and services offered by Connections as needed. 2. Complete the following table for low/moderate-income persons assisted for the primary purpose of the program, excluding complimentary services such as referrals: Total Skokie Total Skokie Residents Total People Residents Served by Served Served CDBG-CV Funds March 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020 60 60 60 2020 Income Limits Household Size 1 Person 2 Persons 3 Persons 4 Persons 5 Persons 6 Persons 7 Persons 8 Persons Low/Moderate-Income $51,000 58,250 65,550 72,800 78,650 84,450 90,300 96,100 NOTE: Household income is the total income of all household members 18 years old or older who contribute to the household. The extremely low, very low, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. 3. How will you meet your CDBG-CV goals for the Skokie residents identified above? To connect Skokie residents to the financial assistance they need, we will continue to market the availability of services broadly throughout the community to ensure distressed homeowners and renters are aware of local resources. We do this through 5 primary mechanisms: 1. Referrals: We participate in a regional coordinated entry effort via the Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County and actively take referrals via the call- center system for people in need of assistance. We are also in regular communication with provider, landlord, and municipal networks throughout the region who refer people in need to us. These referrals and partnerships are especially important with groups that serve populations who are least likely to engage or know about our services (people who are undocumented, non-English speakers, etc.) 2. Drop-in services: Monday through Friday approximately 45 people per day access our drop-in services that include a food pantry, toiletries, basic supplies, clothing, showers, lunches, mail, bus passes and case management services to triage needs. These services are open to all, no appointment required, and we share information with people using these services about our programs and those throughout the community. CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 10  3. Outreach: We have two full-time Outreach Specialists who have relationships across the community and connect directly with people in need. They are regularly interacting with municipal leaders and community providers to connect with and transport people who are homeless to our service locations. 4. Phone: Our main phone number is staffed Monday through Friday during business hours. When possible, we immediately assess needs over the phone and refer the person directly to our resources. Voice messages are checked daily and redirected to other staff. 5. Communications: All communication channels (website, social media, e- newsletters, voicemail messages) are being updated regularly. This is how we market to our provider, landlord, and municipal networks. 4. If you receive CDBG-CV funds, how many Skokie residents could you serve? We expect to serve 40 households of 60 people. 5. Would this program exist without CDBG-CV funding? (Select one) Yes No CDBG-CV Residential Financial Assistance Application - Skokie 11 D. Staff for Funded Program 1.

Performance Measurement Systems 1. Project Objectives Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives. (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.) Creating a Suitable Living Environment This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their living environment. Providing Decent Housing This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable Living Environments. Creating Economic Opportunities This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation. 2. Project Outcomes Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes. (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.) Availability/Accessibility This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live. Affordability This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care. Sustainability This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.

The parties to this Agreement recognize that the installation and maintenance of landscaping is an integral part of the PROPERTY OWNER's plan for development and/or use of the property and is necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the VILLAGE's land use objectives, and that the permit would not have been approved by the VILLAGE without the assurance that this Agreement would be executed by the PROPERTY OWNER. 4. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure: (a) installation of the landscaping in accordance with the landscaping plan approved by the VILLAGE, and (b) continued maintenance and care of the landscaping, including any landscaping indicated in the parkway area. 5. The property, which is the subject matter of this Agreement, is legally described above. The portions of the Subject Property which are to be landscaped and maintained pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement are indicated on the Landscape Plan attached hereto, marked Exhibit “1” and are hereby made a part of this Agreement. 6. PROPERTY OWNER agrees that the installation and maintenance of the landscaping which is required in accordance with the permit issued by the VILLAGE and this Agreement will materially benefit the Subject Property. Such landscaping is necessary in order for the PROPERTY OWNER to comply with the conditions of the permit issued or granted by the VILLAGE for the PROPERTY OWNER’s requested development or use of the property. 7. PROPERTY OWNER shall diligently maintain and care for the landscaping which is installed and required by the permit and this Agreement, using generally accepted Page 8 of 15 VOSDOCS-#563120-v1-Ordinance__2019- 38P__Site_Plan_Approval__Site_Modifications__7701__7739__7664_Lincoln_&_7801_Terminal__Oakton_Community_College  methods of cultivation and watering. The PROPERTY OWNER shall maintain a standard of care necessary to prevent the landscaping from deteriorating to the extent that its value as landscaping is destroyed. If Exhibit “1”, attached hereto or permit specifies maintenance standards or procedures, such procedures are hereby adopted as part of this Agreement, and by such adoption, become enforcement conditions of this Agreement. 8. Failure to maintain the landscaping as required by this Agreement shall be a nuisance. In the event the PROPERTY OWNER fails to meet the standard of maintenance necessary to keep the landscaping in a healthy condition as required by this Agreement, the VILLAGE shall give written notice of the deficiency to the PROPERTY OWNER who shall have 20 days to make the necessary correction or replacement. If such correction or replacement is not made within the aforesaid 20- day period, the VILLAGE may elect to abate the nuisance and take necessary action to assure that the landscaping is replaced and/or maintained. In the event, the VILLAGE so elects; the VILLAGE shall serve notice of its intent to enter the premises for this purpose. The VILLAGE shall either personally serve the notice upon the PROPERTY OWNER or mail a copy of it by certified mail to the PROPERTY OWNER's last known address, or as shown on the tax rolls, at least 15 days in advance of the date when the VILLAGE or its agent intends to enter the premises. 9. For this purpose, the VILLAGE or its agent may enter upon the property and perform such work as it considers reasonably necessary and proper to restore, maintain, or replace the landscaping required by this Agreement. The VILLAGE may act either through its own employees or through an independent contractor. 10. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to reimbursement for abating the nuisance in restoring, maintaining or replacing the landscaping, provided that the VILLAGE follows the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Costs shall include but shall not be limited to actual costs incurred by the VILLAGE and administrative costs. The VILLAGE shall make demand upon the PROPERTY OWNER for payment. If the PROPERTY OWNER fails to pay the costs within 30 days of the date on which demand is made, the VILLAGE may cause a lien to be placed on the Subject Property. The VILLAGE may record a notice with the Recorder of Deeds for Cook County stating that it has incurred expenses under the terms this Landscape Agreement. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to collect interest at the statutory rate on the amount owed. 11. In addition to having a lien placed on the Subject Property, the VILLAGE may institute a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNER agrees to pay the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs. 12. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNER to post additional security. The VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing performance in a form signed by sureties satisfactory to the VILLAGE. The condition of the security shall be that if the PROPERTY OWNER fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement, the VILLAGE may, act on behalf of the Page 9 of 15 VOSDOCS-#563120-v1-Ordinance__2019- 38P__Site_Plan_Approval__Site_Modifications__7701__7739__7664_Lincoln_&_7801_Terminal__Oakton_Community_College  PROPERTY OWNER and use the proceeds of the cash bond, or in the case of a surety bond, require the securities to perform the obligations of this Agreement. 13. The PROPERTY OWNER hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the VILLAGE, its trustees, officials, employees and agents for any costs, claims, actions or causes of action for personal injury, property damage or otherwise, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which may arise from the VILLAGE exercising any of its rights or obligations and performance under this Agreement. 14.

The street is not a public thoroughfare and functions as an extension of a public parking lot to the east. The subject site contains an asphalt-paved parking lot, curbing, light poles, a public sidewalk, landscaping, a tree, and a wood fence. Above-ground electrical utility equipment is present at the north end of the subject site. A catch basin and a portion of a 10” combined sewer main exist within the north end of the subject site as well. The Village desires to vacate the street in order to combine it with the remainder of the public parking lot as a new lot of a 2-lot subdivision in corresponding case 2020-10P. This portion of Lawndale Avenue is identified in Chapter 5 of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan as being a potential street to be vacated. The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the vacation subject to conditions. INTERESTED PARTIES Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties spoke regarding the case.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The Village of Skokie is requesting the vacation of an unimproved portion of Lawndale Avenue north of Dempster Street and south of the east-west alley in a B2 Commercial district. The street is not a public thoroughfare and functions as an extension of a public parking lot to the east. The subject site contains an asphalt-paved parking lot, VOSDOCS-#568469-v1-Staff_Report_-_2020-09P_-_Street_Vacation__Lawndale_Avenue 1 of 3 curbing, light poles, a public sidewalk, landscaping, a tree, and a wood fence. Above- ground electrical utility equipment is present at the north end of the subject site. A catch basin and a portion of a 10” combined sewer main exist within the north end of the subject site as well. The Village desires to vacate the street in order to combine it with the remainder of the public parking lot as a new lot of a 2-lot subdivision in corresponding case 2020-10P. This portion of Lawndale Avenue is identified in Chapter 5 of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan as being a potential street to be vacated. STAFF ANALYSIS Comments All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case. Other than the Civil Engineering and Planning Division comments below, all others did not respond or approved the request without comment. Civil Engineering Division An easement for public utilities shall be established across the entire extent of the subject site in order to provide continued access to the above- and underground utility lines that run through the subject site. Planning Division The Planning Division staff supports the proposed street vacation. Vacating the street and combining it with the land to the east will create a defined boundary for the Village’s public parking lot. Lawndale Avenue, which used to connect to Dempster Street, was terminated at the east-west alley north of Dempster Street at some point between 1984 and 1988, when the Village of Skokie acquired the land to the east of the subject site. The Village constructed a public parking lot across both that property and within Lawndale Avenue, but did not vacate the street. The northern 2.00’ of Lawndale Avenue lying south of the south line of the existing east-west alley will remain public right-of-way and will match the south right-of-way line of a new 18.00’-wide dedicated public alley that will be created in case 2020- 10P and will run from Lawndale Avenue to East Prairie Road. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to vacate Lawndale Avenue north of Dempster Street and south of a line drawn 2.00 feet south of and parallel to the south line of the east-west alley north of Dempster Street in a B2 Commercial district be GRANTED subject to conditions listed below.

Case Descriptions: 2020-09P – Street Vacation: Lawndale Avenue The Village of Skokie requests to vacate Lawndale Avenue north of Dempster Street and south of a line drawn 2.00 feet south of and parallel to the south line of the east-west alley north of Dempster Street. 2020-10P – Subdivision: 8822 East Prairie Road and 3650 Dempster Street Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue and the Village of Skokie request a resubdivision to configure 10 existing lots and vacated Lawndale Avenue into 2 new lots in a B2 Commercial zoning district along with a dedication of an 18’– wide public alley between the 2 new lots, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case.

Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct. Matt Brandmeyer gave an overview of the cases involving a street vacation and subdivision with a public alley dedication. The Village is a co-petitioner for Case 2020-10P. He described it as a swap of properties, both public and private. The subdivision of existing lots, along with the vacated street, will be combined to create a new 2-lot subdivision. The vacated Lawndale Avenue will be added to the public parking lot property to the east. The existing alley currently on synagogue-owned property will be dedicated to the Village of Skokie so that it will be owned and maintained as public right-of-way. Per a commissioner’s inquiry, it was confirmed that the synagogue will use and occupy Lot 1 and the Village will use & occupy Lot 2 as a public parking lot. Debbie Eisenstein, President of the Board of Directors for Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue stated that the synagogue will not be gaining anything. They will be using Lot 1 just as they have always done. Nothing will be changing – even the playground will stay where it is. Another commissioner was confused about the swap of properties. Mr. Brandmeyer offered that “swap” was not the best choice of words. These cases were a long time coming – this is just a formality to “clean up the plat records”. Mr. Brandmeyer added that there were no public comments regarding these cases.

Lot 1 will contain the existing playground and parking lot for Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue. Lot 2 will contain the existing public parking lot which also occupies the portion of Lawndale Avenue that is being vacated in companion case 2020-09P. The subdivision will include an 18’-wide right-of-way dedication between the 2 lots in order to place the existing improved alley within the public right-of-way. The alley as occupied presently spans both synagogue and Village-owned properties. No physical changes are being made within either of the lots or the alley at this time. The Plan Commission concurred with Staff’s recommendation to grant the subdivision approval subject to conditions. Discussion of the case by the commissioners was centered around how the 2 new lots would be structured and what land uses they would each contain. A commissioner asked if a land swap was occurring between the synagogue and the Village in order to give the Village land that was going to be dedicated for the public alley. A representative of the synagogue explained it was her understanding that an agreement was made between the Village and the synagogue years ago to build the alley, but the property ownership boundaries were not modified at that time. The subject case will define the limits of each property and formally dedicate the alley. A more detailed discussion of this case is in the attached Staff Report and minutes. INTERESTED PARTIES Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties spoke regarding the case.

The driveway connecting the parking lot for the synagogue to the existing undedicated alley is blocked by a chain attached to bollards.  Overhead utilities run along the south side of Enfield Avenue and along the south side of the undedicated public alley running between the proposed lots. Additional overhead utilities run in a north-south direction through the western portion of the synagogue’s parking lot.  The Pace 250 Dempster Street bus runs adjacent to the subject site. Construction for the Pace Pulse Dempster Line will begin in 2021. PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL The petitioners are requesting to resubdivide 10 existing lots and vacated Lawndale Avenue into 2 new lots in a B2 Commercial zoning district. Lot 1 will contain the existing playground and parking lot for Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue. Lot 2 will contain the existing public parking lot, which also occupies the portion of Lawndale Avenue that is being vacated in companion case 2020-09P. The subdivision will include an 18’-wide right-of-way dedication between the 2 lots in order to place the existing improved alley within the public right-of-way. The alley as occupied presently spans both synagogue- and Village-owned properties. No physical changes are being made within either of the lots or the alley at this time. STAFF ANALYSIS Comments All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case. Other than the Planning Division comments below, all others did not respond or approved the request without comment. Planning Division The Planning Division supports the proposed subdivision. The subdivision will clean up the boundaries of both properties to eliminate the current lot configuration in which several synagogue- and Village-owned parcels span both sites and the alley. The alley, which was constructed in the mid-1980’s but never dedicated, will be formally dedicated as a public right-of-way. The removal of portions of the alley and the public parking lot from synagogue-owned land will eliminate the synagogue’s liability of having publicly-used infrastructure located on private property. The Village’s liability will also be removed from the portion of its property that is currently used by the synagogue. VOSDOCS-#568731-v1-Staff_Report_-_2020-10P_-_Subdivision__8822_East_Prairie_Road_and_3650_Dempster_Street 2 of 3  Incorporating vacated Lawndale Avenue with the land to the east into a single new lot (Lot 2) will create a defined legal boundary for the Village’s public parking lot. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioners’ request to resubdivide 10 existing lots and vacated Lawndale Avenue into 2 new lots in a B2 Commercial zoning district along with a dedication of an 18’-wide public alley between the 2 new lots, be APPROVED subject to the conditions listed below.

Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct. Matt Brandmeyer gave an overview of the cases involving a street vacation and subdivision with a public alley dedication. The Village is a co-petitioner for Case 2020-10P. He described it as a swap of properties, both public and private. The subdivision of existing lots, along with the vacated street, will be combined to create a new 2-lot subdivision. The vacated Lawndale Avenue will be added to the public parking lot property to the east. The existing alley currently on synagogue-owned property will be dedicated to the Village of Skokie so that it will be owned and maintained as public right-of-way. Per a commissioner’s inquiry, it was confirmed that the synagogue will use and occupy Lot 1 and the Village will use & occupy Lot 2 as a public parking lot. Debbie Eisenstein, President of the Board of Directors for Skokie Valley Agudath Jacob Synagogue stated that the synagogue will not be gaining anything. They will be using Lot 1 just as they have always done. Nothing will be changing – even the playground will stay where it is. Another commissioner was confused about the swap of properties. Mr. Brandmeyer offered that “swap” was not the best choice of words. These cases were a long time coming – this is just a formality to “clean up the plat records”. Mr. Brandmeyer added that there were no public comments regarding these cases.
