2025-07Z – 7880 Lincoln Ave
Petitioner: Zane Zielinki on behalf of 7880 N Lincoln LLC
Request: Variation to improve a parking lot resulting in 13-foot wide drive aisle with
abutting parallel parking spaces and 9-foot wide parking spaces abutting a wall.
The Chair confirmed with Corporation Counsel that proper notice had been served and
notarized for this case.
Petitioner Presentation:
Doc 637305 – ZBA Meeting Minutes for November 19, 2025
APPROVED 1/7/26
Mr. Zane Zielinski appeared representing 7880 North Lincoln Avenue LLC. After being
sworn in, he explained that they were requesting a variance to accommodate sufficient
off-street parking for their plan to redevelop the property to include residential units on
the second floor. The property is already mixed-use, and they need a one-foot variance
due to a retaining wall on one side and another one-foot variance for the other parking
area.
Mr. Zielinski noted that they had sent out notices to surrounding property owners as
required and had received no feedback or complaints. He also mentioned that they had
posted the required sign on the property windows.
Commissioner Trivedi asked about the notification process, and Mr. Zielinski confirmed
he had mailed notices to everyone within the required 250-foot radius and left his contact
information for questions, but received no responses.
Commissioner Strauss inquired why they needed variances for both the driveway and
parking spaces rather than just one. Mr. Zielinski explained that both variances were
necessary to provide enough parking spaces for the development. Adrian, the general
contractor who accompanied Mr. Zielinski, added that traffic through the parking area
would be one-way from the alley toward the street, with appropriate signage.
Commissioner Trivedi raised safety concerns about whether there would be adequate
space for cars to pass through if vehicles were parked in parallel spaces. The general
contractor confirmed there would be one-way traffic only due to the busy street, though
he noted large vehicles like "80-wheelers" would not be able to access the area.
The Chair mentioned that he had asked staff whether the space would be large enough for
a vehicle like a Grand Caravan to pass through, and had been assured this would not be
an issue.
With no further questions, Mr. Zielinski concluded by reiterating that their goal was to
add residential units to the property while ensuring sufficient parking.
Motion to grant the variance was made by Commissioner Trivedi to grant a variance for
the petitioner, 7880 Lincoln Avenue LLC, for a 13-foot wide drive aisle width abutting
parallel parking spaces and 9-foot wide parking spaces abutting a wall. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Jacobson. The motion passed unanimously with all seven
commissioners voting aye.
The vote was unanimous with two absences.

Doc 637305 – ZBA Meeting Minutes for November 19, 2025
APPROVED 1/7/26
Corporation Counsel advised that a covenant would be prepared for the property owner's
signature, and staff would contact the petitioner when it was ready. The covenant would
need to be recorded before any building permits or certificates of occupancy could be
issued.
5) Communication from Staff
Staff recommended a schedule for the 2026 meetings. The Chair presented a different
approach to scheduling meetings for 2026. Rather than having fixed meeting dates, he
proposed that Zoning Board of Appeals meetings would be scheduled on the first and
third Wednesdays of the month as needed, when complete applications are received and
in accordance with legal notice requirements, pending quorum.
The Chair explained that this approach would provide more flexibility and prevent
unnecessary meeting cancellations. He noted that his concern with the previous approach
was that having only one locked-in meeting per month during certain periods could cause
undue hardship for petitioners who would otherwise have to wait for the next scheduled
meeting.
A motion to approve the flexible meeting schedule approach was made and unanimously
approved by voice vote.

2025-06Z – 4144 Enfield Ave
Petitioners: Rafi and Cynthia Nissim
Request: Side Yard Variation
Staff Presentation:
Brian Augustine from Staff presented the site information, noting that the house was
constructed in 1958 and does not abut a public alley. The petitioners, Raffi and Cynthia
636530
DRAFT – NOT APPROVED
Nissim, were requesting a variation to construct a carport addition resulting in a 3-foot
east side yard rather than the 6-foot minimum required by code.
Staff explained that the Appearance Commission would be required to review the
proposal because of the addition on the west side of the home and changes to the front
elevation. Based on the proposed findings of fact, Staff recommended approval of the
petitioner's request.
Staff provided several supporting reasons:
● In 1962, the Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variation at the site to construct
an attached garage (with a 3-foot east side yard setback) that was never built
● The current petitioner is only asking for a variance from the side yard
requirement, not the front yard
● The proposed carport will be 9 feet 9 inches by 23 feet 4 inches, located on the
east side of the home
● The carport will be open on 3 sides and will meet district height regulations
● This is the only location covered parking can be installed without violating
impermeable surface regulations
● A similar variation was granted on the same block in 2009, where 4122 Enfield
was approved to construct a carport with a 4.5-foot west side yard
Petitioner Presentation & Initial Discussion:
The petitioner, Rafi Nissim (who corrected the spelling of his name from "Nissim" rather
than "Nissum" as written in the staff report), and his wife Cynthia were present. Mr.
Nissim explained his request for the carport addition.
During the discussion, commissioners and staff clarified several aspects of the proposal:
● The carport would measure 9 feet 9 inches wide with a 3-foot setback from the
property line
● The structure would be in line with the existing front wall of the house (no front
yard variance needed) and extend approximately 23 feet deep
● The carport would be open on three sides with posts rather than solid walls,
making it easier to open car doors
● Staff noted that 9 feet is a standard parking space width, which should allow for
doors to be partially opened on both sides
During the questioning, Mr. Nissim inquired if he could request a smaller setback than 3
feet. Staff and the Board explained that:
● The current petition was specifically for a 3-foot setback
● Any request for less than 3 feet would require a new petition filing
636530
DRAFT – NOT APPROVED
● A setback less than 3 feet would potentially trigger building code and fire code
issues
● The 3-foot minimum is a standard setback for reasons including maintenance
access, downspout placement, and storm water discharge
Interested Parties and Further Discussion:
Sam Utschen, a neighbor, at 8897 North Keeler Avenue spoke, indicating he had no
objection to the petition. The neighbor mentioned he lived in what he described as "the
oldest house in Skokie," built in 1928, and shared that he had served in the U.S. Army for
31 years.
Mr. Nissim also asked about possibly reducing the west side yard setback for a kitchen
addition, but the Board clarified this would require a separate variance request and filing.
Recommendation & Voting
A motion was made to grant the variation for a 3-foot east side yard with a note that all
other codes and ordinances shall be fully and strictly complied with
The vote was unanimous with two absences.
Motion: Werth Second: Solovy
Ayes: 7
Nays: 0
Absent: 2
Corporation Counsel advised that a covenant running with the land would be prepared,
which the petitioners would need to sign. No building permits or certificates of
occupancy would be issued until the covenant is signed.
5) Communication from Staff
Staff member Augustine noted that the October 1, 2025 meeting would not be held due to
a holiday. Currently there were no cases scheduled for October 15, 2025, and any new
filings would need to be submitted by the following day to make that date.

Re: 7880 Lincoln Ave – Parking Lot Variation

space width abutting a wall (118-212(a)3 and 118-212(a)(6)

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL
The petitioner is requesting a variation in order to improve a parking lot resulting in a 13-
foot wide drive aisle abutting parallel parking spaces and 9-foot wide parking spaces
abutting a wall rather than 14-foot minimum and 10-foot minimum respectively.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
The Appearance Commission is not required to review this request.
ZBA Staff Report for 2025-7Z – 7880 Lincoln Ave – Doc 636558
STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent divisions and departments.
Based on the proposed Findings of Fact, staff recommends that the petitioner’s request to
improve the parking lot resulting in a 13-foot wide drive aisle width abutting a parallel
parking spaces and 9-foot wide parking spaces abutting a wall be granted.
The petitioner is proposing to convert the second story of the building to a residential unit
and remodel the first floor for a future retail space. In order to provide the required parking
spaces the applicant is proposing to make improvements to the parking lot. Two parking
spaces will be accessible from the alley to the northwest, one parallel parking space (#3)
will be added in the rear yard and four parallel spaces (#4-7) will be added along the
proposed one-way driveway. The proposed one-way drive aisle will be 13-feet wide rather
than the 14-foot minimum and the parallel parking spaces abutting a wall (#4-7) will be 9-
feet wide rather the 10-foot minimum.
Staff is supportive of the petitioner’s request. There are limitations on providing parking on
the subject lot. The request is reasonable because they are only seeking relief for one-foot
for each request. A 13-foot drive aisle that serves 5 parking off-street parking spaces on a
smaller lot is reasonable request. Four nine-foot wide parking spaces abutting a wall is also
a reasonable request because the people typically parking on site will be familiar with the
layout of the lot and space sizes. As proposed, the development will meet the minimum off-
street parking space requirement if they receive the variation for the aisle width and parking
space width.

Proposed Findings of Fact 2025-07Z: Variation
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, November 19, 2025
1 Consideration Limitation on the use of the property due to physical, topographical, and
geologic features.
Finding There are limitations on the property to make needed parking lot
improvements and meet current zoning requirements.
2 Consideration The applicant can demonstrate that without a variance there can be no
reasonable use of the property.
Finding The applicant can demonstrate that without the variances there cannot be
parking lot improvements made to the site.
3 Consideration The granting of the variance is not based solely on economic reasons.
Finding The granting of the variance appears to not be based solely on economic
reasons.
4 Consideration The necessity for the variance was not created by the property owner.
Finding The necessity for the variance was not created by the property owner.
5 Consideration The variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to allow
reasonable use of the property.
Finding The request appears to be the minimum necessary to make parking lot
improvements to provide the necessary off-street parking for the proposed
remodeling of the building.
6 Consideration The granting of the variance will not be injurious to the public health,
safety, or welfare.
Finding The granting of the variance will not be injurious to public health, safety or
welfare as the proposed parking lot improvements will meet all other code
requirements.
7 Consideration The property subject to the variance request possesses one or more unique
characteristics generally not applicable to similarly situated properties
Finding The subject property abuts an alley, which allows for the parking lot to be
improved with parking in the back and alongside a one-way driveway that
leads out to Lincoln Avenue.
