B. Preliminary Review - Zoning & Development Applications
1. Preliminary Review of a Request to Renew an Expired Special Permit to Allow Cell Panels on the Roof of an Existing Building at 500 Skokie Boulevard
The subject property is located on the west side of Skokie Blvd. south of the Eden's Spur. The property is Zone O-4 Office Boulevard District as well as the properties to the north, south and west. The property to the east is Zoned C-5 Commercial Boulevard and O3 General Office. The subject property currently has a six-story office structure occupied by various offices and several wireless cellular antennas on the roof. The original Special Permit for the Personal Wireless Telecommunications Antennas was granted to Nextel Communications through an Ordinance 00-36 in the year 2000. The special permit was renewed in 2012 by Ordinance 2012-32, and extended the special permit approval an additional five years to 2017. Because the applicant did not file for a renewal prior to the special permit expiring, this matter requires a Public Hearing before the Plan Commission and Village Board approval. The applicant is not proposing any changes or addition to the equipment on the property at this time.
Trustee Israel would like to leave this at a five-year term.
Trustees Han, Collison and Ciesla agree.
2. Preliminary Review of a Request for a Special Permit to Allow a Dental Office and Parking Variation for a Tenant at 105 Revere Drive
The subject property is located east of Revere Drive and south of Lake Cook Road. It is Zoned I1 Restricted Industrial and has an improved single-story office building. The properties to the north, south and west are also improved with single-story office buildings. The property to the east is a railroad right-of-way, which is Zoned Commercial. The building is a multi-unit condominium office building with a surface parking lot to the north of the building. The applicant is Advanced Family Dental Care, Ltd. which is proposing a dental office in a vacant space which is approximately 1,600 sq. ft. located almost centrally in the building. Most of the offices in the building are legal, financial or architectural firm with one exception of a chiropractic office, which is the other medical use in the building. A dental office with one licensed practitioner serving more than two patients in one hour requires a Special Permit. Based on the proposal from the applicant, there is going to be one dentist and about two - three full-time staff members, serving a maximum of three patients at any given time, which requires a Special Permit. The proposed hours of operation are Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The floor plan provided by the applicant shows a general layout and confirms that there will be three stations for patient care. The Plat of Survey shows sixty-nine parking spaces. The change of use for this unit from a general office to a medical use increases the parking requirement by one space. The property does not have any more room for any expansion of the parking lot so therefore, the applicant is requesting a variation for the one parking space. Staff is not aware of any existing parking problems on this property.
Trustee Israel feels that a dental office would be a good use for this property.
Trustees Han, Collison and Ciesla also agree.
10. Public Safety
None.
11. Administration/Finance

12. Public Works
Trustee Israel stated that he attended a bee seminar at the Library last week and it was very informative and brought to mind the use of pesticides, specifically one called Neonicotinoids. This pesticide is causing problems for bees with colony collapse disorder. This pesticide is being banned all over Europe. Trustee Israel would to like to consider having something done locally.
All Trustees agree this something that should be explored. As a consensus, the Trustees would like to have the EQC work with Staff and have them bring recommendations back to the Board.
Trustee Israel would like to see an end to the single use plastic bag and see if there is a viable substitute.
Trustee Collison would like to see some more information on this but is not interested in a bag tax.
Trustee Han would also like to explore this.
Trustee Ciesla also suggested that this be sent to the Environmental Quality Commission and have them come back to the Board.
Bike Plan update will be coming out next month. The Ad Hoc Facilities report will also be coming out next month.
