She noted that Section 58-8(a) of the Village Code prohibits Skokie from assisting ICE without a criminal warrant, and that this issue will be discussed at the November 3rd Board meeting. She also referenced an October 7 incident involving several youth in a Skokie park, stating that the police investigation is ongoing. David Dalka (9330 Lorel) spoke about his June 3rd letter, including the Old Orchard/Edens ramp closure, traffic safety at Lorel and Emerson, rat problems from damaged garbage cans, missing alley house numbers, and issues with his parents’ medical care. Kimberly Polka (Skokie resident) described witnessing ICE agents in Evanston targeting landscaping workers. She urged the Village to prohibit ICE from using village property. Susan Haggard (not a Skokie resident but grew up and worked in Skokie for 45 years) representing the Chicago Jewish Alliance, she spoke about the October 7 incident at Shawnee Park, describing it as a targeted antisemitic attack on Jewish children. She urged the Village to condemn it as a hate crime, transparency in the investigation, increase park patrols and provide antisemitism education. Anna Lobsson (Skokie resident since 1985) also addressed the Shawnee Park incident. Spoke about antisemitism. Brett Ommen (lives near water main break site) He expressed concern about Trustee Pure Slovin’s meeting attendance and questioned senior staff’s handling of the February water main break, asking for transparency and long-term infrastructure accountability. Maya Crystal (Skokie resident) requested to block ICE from using village property. She spoke about ICE presence in Skokie on Sunday near "Home Depot on Dempster." Mayor Tennes clarified there is no Home Depot in Skokie. Marci Shaheen Oglu (Skokie Fairview neighborhood resident and attorney) shared her experience as a former attorney spoke about ICE activities and her neighbor who was recently detained at Broadview. She asked Village to adopt a resolution to prohibit ICE use of village property. Christina Fleck (Skokie resident) asked the Board to block immigration enforcement on village property. Ellen Weber (Skokie resident and retired community development director) raised concerns about the 4600 Main project’s density and design, including alleys, parking, fire access, and insufficient trash capacity compared to Madison Place. Sayed Ahmed (Skokie resident) asked for a policy preventing ICE from using village property and that waiting until November 3 is too long. Presentations and Reports Strategic Plan Community Engagement Data Presentation by President/CEO of CP2 Consulting, Cory Poris Plasch Cory Poris Plasch, President/CEO of CP2 Consulting, presented findings from the village’s strategic planning engagement, which included surveys (1,155 responses), 12 focus groups (123 participants), and an October 5 community visioning session. 635875 13921 3 Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees Tuesday, October 21, 2025 Page Three Key survey findings: 93% of respondents were residents, mostly homeowners; renters and some racial/ethnic groups were underrepresented despite translation into 11 languages. Residents’ top likes were location, parks/recreation, and village services. Diversity was consistently highlighted as a core community value. Top priorities: public safety, village services, schools, and neighborhood appearance. Housing affordability and economic development were emerging concerns. Satisfaction was high, with 82% agreeing the village communicates effectively and has a good reputation. Community visioning emphasized diversity as a top value and highlighted infrastructure, downtown revitalization, and pedestrian safety as improvement areas. Focus groups echoed these themes, detailing housing challenges, infrastructure issues (including the February water main break), and economic development desires. Communication barriers for English language learners were noted. Staff surveys showed strong workplace culture and recruiting staff was a high priority. Trustee discussion focused on demographic representation and data nuances. Cory Plasch detailed outreach efforts to engage diverse stakeholders. Differences between survey and focus group priorities (e.g., public transportation) were explained, and open-ended questions were recommended to capture more detail. Mayor Tennes noted the village’s triennial survey provides extensive verbatim responses online. Report of the Village Manager a. Creation of a Housing Fund and the Skokie Housing Land Trust. Justin Malone, Neighborhood and Housing Coordinator, presented staff recommendations to establish a housing fund and Skokie Housing Land Trust. The land trust model would promote homeownership by having the village own land while eligible homeowners purchase only the house structure, reducing costs and maintaining affordability. The proposal included partnering with a nonprofit to handle program administration, property acquisition and rehabilitation, financial management, applicant screening and financial literacy training. Neighboring communities with similar programs include Highland Park, Evanston, Lake Forest, Northbrook, and Wilmette. The housing fund would provide grants up to $50,000 (maximum $300,000 annually) to help owners of 2-4 unit properties make repairs. This differs from the existing HUD-funded home improvement program by targeting rental properties and allowing repairs HUD won't fund like fences, driveways, and garages. Initial funding would come from fees paid by developers who choose not to include affordable units on-site. The inclusionary housing ordinance requires a percentage of units be affordable based on project size, with a $100,000 per unit fee-in-lieu option requiring Village Board approval. Trustee Lissa Levy questioned how fees are determined and whether they adjust for inflation, learning they remain flat at $100,000 per unit regardless of bedroom count. She asked about relying on fee-in-lieu funding could stratify neighborhoods economically, creating pockets of wealth versus concentrated affordable housing. Trustee Robinson asked about governance structure and community involvement, asked about a housing subcommittee or eventual housing commission to provide oversight. Staff suggested initial governance could include a representative from the housing subcommittee on the nonprofit partner's board. Trustee Schechter asked about terminology (questioning "housing land trust" versus standard "community land trust" terminology), placement in the human relations code rather than zoning code, and limitations focusing solely on homeownership rather than broader community land trust purposes. She opposed amending the ordinance, advocating instead for comprehensive review potentially utilizing attorney Steve Elrod who worked on Northbrook's prototype ordinance including community land trust, housing fund, funding mechanisms, and governance structures. During discussion, three members of the public commented. Kimberly Polka supported creating a standalone housing commission. David Dalka spoke about current residents' needs like garbage collection and emergency services. James Kardasis asked about extending the TIF district on Oakton to address blight on Skokie Boulevard, with Mayor Tennes directing him to submit his ideas in writing to the village manager. 635875 13922 Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees 4 Tuesday, October 21, 2025 Page Four Motion to enable a Housing Land Trust and create Housing Fund from which eligible activities can be supported with changes based on the discussion. Moved: Trustee Pure Slovin Seconded: Trustee Lissa Levy Ayes: Kimani Levy, Robinson, Iverson, Lissa Levy, Pure Slovin Nays: Schechter Absent: None MOTION CARRIED b. Skokie Solar and Electric Aggregation Programs Alex Franz, Assistant to the Village Manager, presented information on Skokie's community solar programs. Community solar allows residents and small businesses to subscribe to off-site solar projects and receive credits on their ComEd bills at a discount without installing panels. Two programs operate in Skokie: MC Squared (started 2020) offering minimum 10% discount with some subscribers receiving 20%, and NextAmp (started 2024) offering 15% discount. Both have no signup costs and allow termination without penalty. Alex emphasized these legitimate programs never solicit door-to-door or by phone. An information session was scheduled for October 29th at the library following a successful session the previous Monday with 30 attendees. Trustee Lissa Levy spoke about rural and suburban communities regarding solar farm siting, and rural communities bear impacts while suburban residents receive benefits. She encouraged supporting rural communities hosting solar infrastructure and acknowledging the program's importance for sustainability. * Request to Sell Surplus Vehicles and Equipment. Motion to sell surplus vehicles and equipment to be sold at the NWMC auction Omnibus vote. Report of the Corporation Counsel First Reading An Ordinance amending Chapter 2, Article VII of the Skokie Village Code pertaining to Boards and Commissions. Item A is on the agenda for first reading. The second reading will be on November 3, 2025. Corporation Counsel Barbara Mangler presented an ordinance for first reading to amend Chapter 2, Article VII of the Skokie Village Code. The ordinance would increase Appearance Commission membership from 7 to 9 members and rename the Telecommunications Advisory Committee to the Technology Advancement and Transformation Commission while increasing membership from 10 to 13. Mayor Tennes explained the changes originated from a summer meeting with STAT Commission chair Scott Schamberg, who requested the name change to better reflect their work while maintaining the STAT acronym. The membership increases address high demand from residents wanting to serve on boards and commissions, with Appearance Commission aligning with other land use commissions (Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals) at 9 members. Trustee Robinson asked about ensuring geographic representation from the village's four districts. Mayor Tennes said this would be considered for future new commissions likely in first quarter 2026 but wasn't feasible for existing commissions. The ordinance will return for second reading and adoption on November 3, 2025. Unfinished Business New Business Trustee Robinson read a prepared statement addressing the October 7th Shawnee Park incident, calling it "completely unacceptable" that young people targeted peers with antisemitic language and violence. He referenced procedures for early identification and intervention in hate incidents developed by the previous board with former trustee Khem Khoeun and village attorney Michael Lorge, thanking the police department for their investigation efforts. His statement concluded: "Skokie will continue to lead with compassion, education, and Mayor Tennes thanked Trustee Robinson and clarified the investigation has concluded with police still working to bring resolution. She indicated plans to activate the Human Relations Commission's involvement per the existing ordinance. 635875 13923 Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees Tuesday, October 21, 2025 Page Five 5 Trustee Schechter thanked both Mayor Tennes and Trustee Robinson for explicitly naming the incident as antisemitism requiring swift community response. Also spoke about ICE concerns raised during public comment, she detailed Evanston's resolution prohibiting use of city property for immigration enforcement, including posting signage, using physical barriers, requiring staff notification procedures, and providing signage for private property owners. She attempted to make a motion for similar action but was informed by Corporation Counsel Mangler that the item wasn't properly noticed and would be discussed November 3rd. Staff is already monitoring other communities' actions and will present a staff report with draft language for consideration. Plan Commission a.

David Dalka spoke about recognition of all veterans, suggesting a memorial honoring all who served from Skokie on Veterans Day. He asked about trustee participation in meetings with Elk Grove Village officials and in February a Skokie staff member allegedly blocked his protest sign. He also spoke about police interactions and access to services for his mother’s care. Kimberly Polka commented on Mr Dalka’s comment and responded that residents she spoke with didn’t want employees replaced and were mainly concerned a new board might bring staff changes, adding that she believes most are happy with village employees. Ilonka Ulrich thanked Trustee Robinson for addressing hate, concerned about ICE actions, and urged steps to help neighbors feel safe, suggesting signage and further discussion.

Lockerby, VillSge Manager DATE: October 16, 2025 SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT BOARD MEETING OF TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21,2025 A. Creation of a Housing Fund and the Skokie Housina Land Trust. At the February 18, 2025 Village Board Meeting, the Village discussed the next steps for establishing a Housing Land Trust (HLT). Through the purchase of housing units and the Village retaining ownership of the underlying land, the Housing Land Trust allows each homeowner the opportunity to build wealth and for the home to remain In the HLT and therefore affordable in perpetuity. Staff recommends enabling a Housing Land Trust and has prepared draft changes to Chapter 58 that reflect the creation of the Housing Fund, a funding source for an HLT, and enabling language for the Village to advance HLT activities in the future. Following adoption of the enabling language, there are a series of steps and processes that will take place in order to accumulate housing funds, acquire housing units and move them into the HLT. These steps include, accumulating monies in the housing fund, identifying a not-for-profit HLT management partner, purchasing and rehabilitation of property, and eligibility screening of the HLT and property sale/management. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request Board approval to enable a Housing Land Trust (HLT) and create a Housing Fund from which eligible activities can be supported. B. Skokie Solar and Electric Aciaregation Proflrams. The Village currently has multiple programs to further its sustainability goals of increasing renewable energy usage and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2030. Community Solar allows Skokie residents and small businesses to receive the benefits of solar energy without having to put solar panels on their roof. Customers subscribe to energy from a nearby solar farm and receive credits for their share of the energy produced. Alex Franz, Assistant to the Village Manager, will provide a presentation. This item is informational. * C. Request to Sell Surplus Vehicles and Equipment. The Public Works Director has requested authorization to sell at auction certain surplus vehicles. These vehicles will be auctioned through the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) Auction, which has proven to be successful in the past. The Village currently has two Village Hall vehicles, five Public Works vehicles, four Police Department vehicles and two Fire Department vehicles that are being #635800 Return to Agenda replaced or removed from the fieet.

The attached draft code changes highlight these updates and changes to Chapter 58 of the Village Code. Background The purpose of the HLT is to empower individuals and families to become homeowners in Skokie. Through the purchase of housing units and the Village retaining ownership of the underlying land, the Housing Land Trust allows each homeowner the opportunity to build wealth and for the home to remain in the HLT and therefore affordable into perpetuity. For the purpose of this memorandum, HLT refers to the Village-backed trust in which the home is owned through. The creation ofaHLT was identified during the Village Board's discussion of implementation of the Plan Commission's Affordable Housing recommendations. On February 18, 2025, the Village discussed next steps for establishing a HLT. In furtherance of this work, the Village convened a workshop with Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH) and Housing Opportunity Development Corporation (HODC) on April 14, 2025. The workshop provided an overview of how HLTs work and how to establish one. The Powerpoint from that presentation Is attached to this memorandum. Following the workshop, staff prepared draft changes to Chapter 58 that reflect the creation of the Housing Fund, a funding source for a HLT, and enabling language for the Village to advance HLT activities in the future. The operations ofaHLT generally include program administration, property acquisition, construction management, document intake, legal supervision, financial management, eligibility screening, and waitlist management. While the Village may play a significant role in the start-up process and authorizing the funding of the HLT, municipalities in the region do not manage land trusts solely by themselves. For the purpose of administrative efficiency and accessing subject matter housing and development finance experts, a not-for-profit entity may be authorized to carry out the activities and governance of the HLT. 628177 Return to Mgr Rpt Neighboring Communities and Land Trust Policies Neighboring municipalities such as Evanston, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, and Wilmette have created policies surrounding both land trusts and housing funds.

Sources for funding the acquisition and likely rehabilitation of housing units in the HLT could include payments-in-lieu of providing affordable housing units through new development, private donations, secured grant funding, and other sources. Identify Not-for-Profit HLT Management Partner. The Village would seek to engage a HLT management partner with experience operating a Community Land Trust program. The private non-profit organization would own the land on behalf of the Village ofSkokie. At the direction of the Village, the partner would participate in the acquisition of homes, provide oversight of rehabilitation of the homes, and then work with qualified individuals to purchase the home through the HLT. Upon engaging a management partner, all program administration responsibilities are handled by the outside organization and are not the responsibility of the Village. The Village is not responsible for the transactions associated with Individual homebuyers and sellers. Purchase and Rehabilitation of Property. With funding in place, for-sale housing units can be acquired within the Village for the HLT inventory in coordination with the not-for-profit Management Partner and the necessary rehabilitation of a property. Following purchase, the home will be rehabilitated as needed and made move-in ready for qualified homeowners. Identifying Eligible Residents of the HLT. Applicants for a HLT home purchase will need to meet preliminary qualifications established through the Community Land Trust and the Village for financial approval for the affordable housing program and to be placed on the waiting list for 628177 Return to Mgr Rpt available properties. Criteria can include gross household income limits, housing and debt to income ratios, asset limits, cash for down payment, mortgage eligibility, and savings reserves. Property Sale and Management. During the homeowner's tenure owning the home, the underlying land remains owned by the HLT. When the homeowner moves, the home is sold at a restricted price so the home stays affordable for the next buyer. If Skokie were to utilize a non- profit management partner, this agency would serve as the Community Land Trust operator and would facilitate the HLT governance and oversight. Community Land Trusts typically have a board made up of representatives, including people using the land trust program, community members, and other technical experts such as funders or stakeholders. Skokie would have representation accordingly.

Lockerby, Village Manager FROM: Alex Franz, Assistant to the Village Manager DATE: October 14,2025 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM ~ October 21, 2025 Board Meeting ~ Skokie Solar and Electric Aggregation Programs Below is a summary of the Village's community solar and electric aggregation programs. These programs assist the Village in furthering its sustainability goals of increasing renewable energy usage and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2030. Community Solar Community solar allows Skokie residents and small businesses to receive the benefits of solar energy without having to put solar panels on their roof. Instead, customers subscribe to energy from a nearby solar farm and receive credits for their share of the energy produced. These credits are then applied to their monthly ComEd bill and the solar farm will send a separate bill to the subscriber at a percentage (i.e. 85-90%) of the monthly credit value. This results in direct savings to the subscriber. Subscribers continue to receive electricity delivery from ComEd and should work with ComEd if they ever experience outages or other Issues. In the Village of Skokie, residents and small businesses can choose between two Community Solar Programs; MC Squared and Nexamp. Started in 2020, in collaboration with the North Shore Electricity Aggregation Consortium and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, the North Shore Community Solar Program by MC Squared allows subscribers to save a minimum of 10%* on their community solar credits. There is no sign-up cost and subscribers can terminate their contract at any time with no penalty. Due to the popularity of the program and each solar farm only having the capacity for a limited number of subscriptions, there is currently a waitlist to join. Customers on the waitlist will be contacted as new subscription opportunities become available. Started in 2025, in partnership with Joule Community Power, an organization that works with municipalities to identify and promote community solar options. Community Solar by Nexamp allows subscribers to save 15% on their community solar credits. There is no sign-up cost and subscribers can terminate their contract at any time with no penalty. At this time, there is no waitlist for the program. * Depending on when a customer subscribed to MC Squared Community Solar, they may be receiving a 20% discount. Subscribers that are unsure of their discount, should check their contract or contact MC Squared. 635802 Return to Mgr Rpt Electric Aggregation Municipal Electric Aggregation is when a municipality (or group of municipalities) uses its collective bargaining power to negotiate lower power prices from suppliers that are not the traditional utility (ComEd). Electric aggregation in the Village of Skokie dates back to 2011 when the Village of Skokie joined Deerfield, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Northbrook, and Park Ridge to establish the North Shore Electricity Aggregation Consortium (NSEAC). In 2012, the Village Board authorized an aggregation program, which initially offered residents direct cost savings on their monthly bill under a fixed-price model. Following the conclusion of that contract in 2015, market conditions no longer supported savings, and the program was placed on hold until 2021 when the Consortium adopted a "price-match" model, whereby supply rates match ComEd's rate, ensuring no added cost to participants while generating an annual civic contribution for member municipalities. Later in 2021, the Village entered into a three-year agreement with MC Squared Energy Services under the price-match model, with a one-year extension approved in October 2024 and a two- year extension approved in September 2025. Under the agreement, MC Squared identifies low- cost to serve residential and small business accounts (currently 9,800) and notifies them by mail that they will be automatically enrolled unless they opt-out. Enrolled accounts can opt-out at any time with no penalty and will always pay the same monthly rate that ComEd charges. ComEd is still responsible for the customers service, delivery and billing. By purchasing electricity in the aggregate, savings are achieved which MC Squared provides in the form of civic contributions ($80,000 - $120,000 annually) which have been directed toward sustainability initiatives, including development of the 2022-2030 Sustainability Plan and the conversion of the Village's residential and arterial streetlights to LED technology. It is important to note that the consortium explores all pricing options, including the fixed-price option to achieve direct savings to residents, however, no favorable bids were received during the most recent extension due to the volatility of the electric market. Rooftop Solar In 2023, in recognition of the Village's commitment to Solar energy, the Village was awarded a Gold designation through the Solsmart program. SolSmart is led by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and works to assist, and recognize, local governments that remove obstacles and encourage solar energy. The Village is only one of approximately 200 communities nation-wide that has received a Gold designation.

Return to Agenda Plan Commission Report 2025-10P: Street Vacation Village Board Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, October 21, 2025 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Paul Luke, Chairman Re: 2025-10P: Street Vacation Foster Street between 9456 and 9500 Crawford Avenue PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND ANALYSIS At the September 18, 2025, meeting of the Plan Commission, the request from Andrea Wells and Mitica and Rodica Amaria to vacate Foster Street north of 9456 Crawford Avenue and south of 9500 Crawford Avenue in an R1 Single-Family zoning district was recommended as APPROVED by a vote of 8 ayes and 0 nays, with 1 member absent. The vacation of the public street includes the following: • The conveyance of the south 12.50’ of the subject site to Andrea Wells, the owner of the property at 9456 Crawford Avenue, who intends to incorporate the land into her currently undeveloped property. Upon approval and recording of the vacation, Ms. Wells plans to petition for a 2-lot subdivision which will establish 2 legal lots of record for the properties at 9450 and 9456 Crawford Avenue (both properties are presently substandard in width in the R1 district), for the purpose of selling the 9456 Crawford Avenue property for redevelopment. • The conveyance of the northern 20.50’ of the alley to Mitica and Rodica Amaria, the owners of 9500 Crawford Avenue who intends to establish ownership of the land that they are currently using as a driveway and parking area for their residence. • The establishment of an easement for public utilities and drainage within that portion of the subject site lying west of a line drawn 156.17 feet west of and parallel to the east line of the Northeast ¼ of Section 15-41-13. Staff is supportive of the petitioners’ request as the Village does not intend to improve the street for public usage. The existing street right-of-way is not used for transportation, is substandard at 33 feet wide, and is better suited for residential use. The Plan Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation to grant the vacation of the street, subject to the attached conditions. VOSDOCS-#635464-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_-_2025-10P__Street_Vacation__Foster_Street 1 of 4 Return to top of 10P Code Information Per Section 118-6(d)(10) of the Village Code, the Plan Commission has the duty to review the vacation of any public street or alley and make recommendations to the Village Board. No compensation is being requested from either of the petitioners as the subject site is identified in Chapter 5 of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan as being a potential street to be vacated and the amount of land that each petitioner will receive does not create a second buildable lot of record. Click here for the full Plan Commission packet with staff report and application materials ADDITIONAL PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS One commissioner asked if the petitioners were aware of the easement that was being established along the west side of the vacation. Staff replied that the petitioners were notified of the need to create the easement due to the presence of overhead utilities and explained that the easement was shown on the plat of vacation and would be stated as a condition in the ordinance. Another commissioner asked if this was the first time in which land being requested to be vacated was not divided equally between the petitioners and if a precedent was being established by this unequal division of land. Staff explained that, while most vacated rights-of-way area have been divided equally in the past, each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine the appropriate means of dividing the land. Staff further stated that, in this particular case, the street right-of-way is only half the width of a typical residential street and is being divided to reflect how the land has been historically utilized. 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.

CALL TO ORDER A quorum being present, Chair Luke called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M. 2. ROLL CALL Attendance was taken by roll call. Chair Luke introduced Commissioner Black and Commissioner Witry as newly appointed members of the Plan Commission. Each Commissioner provided a brief biography. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion to approve the minutes of the August 7, 2025 meeting was made by Commissioner S. Berman and seconded by Commissioner C. Franklin. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Abstain: 2. The motion passes. 4. NEW BUSINESS a. Case 2025-10P: Street Vacation, Foster Street. A request for the vacation of Foster Street north of the property located at 9456 Crawford Avenue and south of the property located at 9500 Crawford Avenue in the R1 Single Family zoning district. Mike Voitik presented the street vacation case. He explained that the street was platted in the 1920s but was never actually built, and the street was never platted in the land immediately to the north. # 635748 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes September 18, 2025 Return to top of 10P The request was to vacate a 33-foot wide strip of land and divide it asymmetrically between the property to the north and the vacant property to the south. The property to the north would receive up to the line of the existing shrubbery because there was a driveway providing access to their garage. The petitioner at 9456 Crawford Avenue would incorporate their portion into a future two-lot subdivision that would enlarge both lots to comply with the minimum lot width requirement of 55 feet in an R-1 single-family zoning district. Mr. Voitik noted that an easement would be established for public utility access in the western portion of the site where overhead utilities run in a north-south direction. Commissioner Berman asked about the asymmetrical division, noting that previous vacations had typically been done on an equal basis. Mr. Voitik confirmed that most previous vacations had been divided equally but explained this was only a half right-of- way (33 feet instead of the standard 66 feet). He noted that dividing it 50/50 would result in the neighbor to the south receiving a portion of the driveway serving the house to the north. The proposed division is demarcated at the hedgerow. The recommended conditions include that the property be vacated pursuant to the plat of vacation and that an easement be reserved for all Village and public utilities and drainage over a specific portion of the subject site. The property owner was present but declined to speak. Motion to approve case number 2025-10P as presented was made by Commissioner Mathee and seconded by Commissioner Franklin. The motion was approved unanimously, with all commissioners voting aye. Chairman Luke noted that the case would still need to go before the Board of Trustees for final approval. b. Case 2025-14P: Site Plan Approval, 8201 Skokie Boulevard. A request for a 5-story mixed-use building that includes ground floor commercial space, 68 residential units, enclosed and surface parking, and stormwater detention in a CX Core Mixed-Use zoning district, and any relief that may be discovered during the review of this case. Justin Malone presented the site plan approval case for a 5-story mixed-use building at 8201-8209 Skokie Boulevard. He noted a correction that the project would have 66 residential units, not a scrivener’s error of 68 that appeared in some documents associated with the case. Mr. Malone explained that the development agreement was approved by the Village Board on December 10, 2024. The proposed development would replace a lot vacant since 2018, with residential units on floors 2-5 ranging from studios to 3-bedrooms. # 635748 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes September 18, 2025 Return to top of 10P While the village's inclusionary housing ordinance required 5% of units (3 total) to be affordable, the petitioner had committed to 6 units (3 one-bedroom and 3 two-bedroom) for individuals with incomes not exceeding 60% of the area median income. The retail space will occupy 2,100 square feet of the ground floor. The development would include 72 covered parking spaces between the ground floor and below-grade garages, space for 62 bicycles, and an additional 12 uncovered parking spaces abutting the alley in the rear. Two feet of land along the east property line would be dedicated as public right-of-way for utility relocation. Commissioner Berman asked about the parking ratio, noting there were 66 units and 72 covered spaces, plus 12 outdoor spaces. He inquired whether parking would be rented with the residential units and whether the retail component was required by the Village or proposed by the developer. Mr. Malone explained that Skokie Boulevard is considered a retail street, requiring ground floor retail, and confirmed that the total parking provided had been previously entitled through the development agreement. Nick Ftikas, attorney for the applicant, explained that the intent was to have at least one parking space for each residential unit, with parking rented separately from the base rent. He clarified that the 12 outdoor spaces would be for guest parking and retail use. The petitioner, Jody Libman, stated that Peak Properties would handle leasing and property management. Regarding the retail space, Mr. Libman mentioned he was considering moving his own office to the location. He described the larger community space within the building as including amenities like a dog washing station, fitness center, roof deck, business center, and possibly a simulator or movie theater. He confirmed there was no intention to block or paint over the windows of the community space visible from the street. Motion to approve case 2025-14P was made by Commissioner Black and seconded by Commissioner Gevaryahu. The motion passed unanimously, with all commissioners voting aye. c. Case 2025-13P: Site Plan Approval, 5206 Touhy Avenue. A request for an amendment to a previously approved Site Plan Approval to modify the signage plan by replacing the approved monument sign with a ground sign. Jose Acosta presented the case for an amendment to modify the signage plan at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen at 5206-5238 Touhy Avenue. The petitioner was requesting to replace a previously approved 10-foot monument sign with an 18-foot tall pylon sign. # 635748 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes September 18, 2025 Return to top of 10P The property already had a multi-tenant ground sign visible from Touhy Avenue that included a panel for Popeyes. The petitioner was requesting relief to allow the proposed ground sign to be located 12 feet from the south and east lot lines (where 18 feet is required) and to allow more than one ground sign at a multiple-use site. Staff recommended denial based on several factors: the proposed signage was not harmonious with existing uses, no modified landscaping plan was provided, the taller sign was not consistent with recent approvals on Touhy Avenue (which ranged from 15- 17 feet), and the petitioner had not demonstrated any particular hardship or practical difficulty to justify the relief. The petitioner, Fareed Khowaja, explained that their architect had made a mistake in the original submission. He claimed that the 10-foot monument sign would be difficult to see because of trees and the nearby Dunkin' sign, causing customers to miss the location. He stated that they had already ordered the new 18-foot pylon sign. Commissioner Berman questioned why the issue wasn't raised earlier during the development process. Staff noted that they would not change their recommendation. They also pointed out that there was already signage on the building and a multi-tenant sign on the property. Motion to deny case 2025-13P was made by Commissioner Mathee and seconded by Commissioner Franklin. The motion to deny was approved unanimously. Chairman Luke advised the petitioner that he could still appeal to the Board of Trustees for final approval. 5. OLD BUSINESS None 6. PUBLIC COMMENTS None 7. ITEMS FOR COMMUNICATION None 8.
