SUBJECT: Emergency Snow Expenditures (Agenda Item)
During the extreme snowfall events of February 2021, the Village received snowfall accumulations
in excess of 45" of snow in a three-week period. This was culminated with a 17" snowfall on
February 14 and 15. This had the net effect of drastically reducing the roadway widths in many
locations in Skokie, making the movements of emergency vehicles throughout the community
extremely problematic. Moreover, clearing snow in multi-family areas of the community was
particularly challenging, as there was little to no space available to push snow with conventional
plows. Given the tremendous volume of snow, the Village needed to hire contracted leaders and
operators to assist in our snow removal efforts. ITiese efforts included snow removal from.
roadways and parking lots, industrial areas, and clearing and freeing of roadway drainage structures.
Ill the interest of public safety and general welfare. Village staff enacted the Emergency Purchases
Provision and obtained proposals for these services on a time and material basis. We have received
invoicmg from Mauro Sewer Constmction, Inc. in the amount of $47,223 for services rendered for
the period 2/16/21 through 2/26/21.
Per section 2-1018 of the Skokie Village Code, staff is hereby requesting that the Village Board is
advised of this emergency procurement. The repair will be funded through the Capital
Improvement Program, Sewer System Improvements line item account 020-6000-407-07-31,
Project Code OP460S2 as well as account 020—6000-407-0725 OL12011.

PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
During its March 18, 2021, meeting, the Plan Commission heard a request for a new

Discussion from the Commission included questions about trash collection and waste
receptacles and timeline for construction.
No additional relief was discovered during the review of this case nor is any necessary.
Additional analysis and the discussion can be found in the attached Staff Report and
meeting minutes.

Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as
prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper
and correct.
The local business franchisee, Reena Panjwani Khowaja, and architect, Steve Kolber of
Kolbrook Design, Inc. presented the cases. The current Dunkin Donuts has been a tenant of
the subject site for 10-15 years and the 60-70-year old building has served its useful life. It
will be demolished and a new Dunkin Donuts with a drive-through facility which meets
updated corporate standards will take its place with a slightly larger footprint. The new
building is being pushed a little further north and a small 3-table patio for outdoor dining

will be provided. They are confident that the new site plan will offer a more efficient drive-
through experience and creates a better parking layout.
Staff requested that the reports be accepted into the record as presented. The complex of
buildings, at 1 time, was all under single ownership with shared access drives and parking.
Staff worked very hard with the petitioner to design the presented plan and is in support of
the requests. The new plan increases parking, improves traffic circulation and site
landscaping will be significantly improved. It will also continue the trend of new investment
on this retail block.
A commissioner asked if there were any citizen comments regarding the case. Staff replied
that only 1 call came in from across Dempster Street; just being curious. There were no
other public comments.
Another commissioner wanted verification that trash collection & receptacles were
addressed in the list of conditions. Staff referred to Conditions 7 & 8 in the new
construction report and Conditions 3 & 5 in the outdoor dining report.
The chairman asked about the timeline. They hope to start as soon as they can with a
completion in early fall 2021.
Recommendations and Voting
Motions were made to approve staff’s recommendation to approve the petitioner’s requests
for special use permits for a new construction limited service restaurant with a drive-
through facility and outdoor dining at 3900 Dempster Street in a B2 Commercial district,
subject to the recommended conditions.

DD Pacini, LLC, on behalf of Kolbrook Design, Inc., is requesting a special use
permit for a new construction limited-service restaurant with a drive-through
facility in a B2 Commercial district and any relief that may be discovered during
the review of this case. The proposal is to replace the existing Dunkin’ Donuts
store with a drive-through with a new Dunkin’ store with a drive-through. The
new plan increases the efficiency of the parking and traffic circulation, provides
an area for outdoor dining, and replaces the aging structure with a more modern
one.
The petitioner provided the following statement:
Thank you for your consideration of our project [at 3900 Dempster Street.]
The new Dunkin building we are proposing is to be constructed on the site of the existing
Dunkin location that we are demolishing, which has been in existence for decades. The new
site plan and building provides a more efficient queue experience for drive-thru patrons,
creates a better parking layout and offers a much-needed update to meet the latest Dunkin
corporate standards in terms of operations and aesthetics. Updates that are all sorely needed
at this location.
We are confident that the overall impact on the immediate neighborhood is virtually
unchanged as ownership, operational hours and of course the acclaimed offering of Dunkin
fare will not change. Traffic conditions will be improved due to a better designed drive-thru
queue allowing for more capacity and speed. Public utilities and storm water detention will
not change other than slight relocation due to the adjustment of the building footprint, which

is pushed a bit further North. Additionally, a patio is being provided for open air dining for
patrons to enjoy in warmer months.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff Comment and Review requests were sent to all pertinent departments and were
received from Environmental Health, Traffic Engineering, and Planning. All other
departments returned the requests with no comments regarding the subject case,
and/or comments were provided in related cases. Comments related to the overall
development are included in this case.
Environmental Health
The Environmental Health Division notes that its final approval is contingent upon the
Health Department Final Inspection at the time of building permit and certificate of
occupancy.
Traffic Engineering
The parking requirement is met, with 17 parking spaces required and 17 provided.
Minor modifications to the site plan need to be made:
1. The length of the landscape islands at each end of the southern tier of parking need
to be increased to match the length of the parking spaces, making a consistent 24’
driveway width.
2. The 2 parking spaces on the east side of the building should be reduced to a stall
depth of 16' with a 2' bumper overhang into the landscaped area.
3. Verify that the sidewalk on the south side of the building is a minimum of 7' wide to
accommodate a 2’ [bumper] overhang and a 5’ clear sidewalk width.
Staff accepts the applicant’s traffic study with respect to site improvements and
stacking. The changes will increase the capacity of the existing queue and better
separate it from the other uses on the site.
Planning
Planning is supportive of the petitioner’s request. Staff worked diligently with the
petitioner to design the plan presented. The new plan increases parking, improves
traffic circulation, and increases permeable surfaces. Site landscaping will be
significantly improved, and the new construction will continue the trend of new
investment on this retail block.
No items of relief were discovered during the review of this case.

Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to property owners in the area as
prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper
and correct.
The local business franchisee, Reena Panjwani Khowaja, and architect, Steve Kolber of
Kolbrook Design, Inc. presented the cases. The current Dunkin Donuts has been a tenant of
the subject site for 10-15 years and the 60-70-year old building has served its useful life. It
will be demolished and a new Dunkin Donuts with a drive-through facility which meets
updated corporate standards will take its place with a slightly larger footprint. The new
building is being pushed a little further north and a small 3-table patio for outdoor dining

will be provided. They are confident that the new site plan will offer a more efficient drive-
through experience and creates a better parking layout.
Staff requested that the reports be accepted into the record as presented. The complex of
buildings, at 1 time, was all under single ownership with shared access drives and parking.
Staff worked very hard with the petitioner to design the presented plan and is in support of
the requests. The new plan increases parking, improves traffic circulation and site
landscaping will be significantly improved. It will also continue the trend of new investment
on this retail block.
A commissioner asked if there were any citizen comments regarding the case. Staff replied
that only 1 call came in from across Dempster Street; just being curious. There were no
other public comments.
Another commissioner wanted verification that trash collection & receptacles were
addressed in the list of conditions. Staff referred to Conditions 7 & 8 in the new
construction report and Conditions 3 & 5 in the outdoor dining report.
The chairman asked about the timeline. They hope to start as soon as they can with a
completion in early fall 2021.
Recommendations and Voting
Motions were made to approve staff’s recommendation to approve the petitioner’s requests
for special use permits for a new construction limited service restaurant with a drive-
through facility and outdoor dining at 3900 Dempster Street in a B2 Commercial district,
subject to the recommended conditions.
