For City Council Meeting of July 25, 2016 Item SP1
Summary of Recent 9th Circuit Court Case Regarding Concealed Carry
For Discussion
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: W. Grant Farrar, Corporation Counsel
Subject: Recent 9th Circuit Court of Appeal Decision Regarding 2nd Amendment
and Concealed Carry
Date: July 11, 2016
Background:
Ald. Wilson made a staff reference to the Law Department at the June 13, 2016 City
Council meeting asking for a summary regarding the recent 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
decision in Peruta v. County of San Diego, 10-56971, decided June 9, 2016.
Summary:
Under California law, local county sheriffs are authorized to develop policies regarding
issuing concealed carry licenses to handgun owners who want to carry their handguns
in public. The sheriff is authorized to establish a “good cause” requirement for
applicants to meet before a license is issued to them. 2 California residents sued San
Diego County when their concealed carry applications were rejected.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is a federal appeals court with jurisdiction in the
West Coast, held that there is no specific 2nd Amendment right to carry concealed
handguns in public, but that it was up to the US Supreme Court to answer this question.
In 2013, the Illinois General Assembly enacted the Firearm Concealed Carry Act
(“FCCA”), 430 ILCS 65/ et. seq., which preempted the City’s Home Rule authority to
regulate or license concealed carry. Possession and carrying of concealed firearms or
handguns is permitted by persons who comply with the FCCA and possess a valid
FOID card. In passing ordinances to conform to existing state law, the City Council
noted its disagreement with the language and effect of the home rule preemptions in
FCCA.
Under FCCA, the Illinois Department of State Police (“ISP”) is tasked with the sole
authority to administer the policies of the concealed carry statute, and issue licenses to
applicants it determines to be qualified. The application requirements in Illinois differ
from those at issue in California in 2 key respects:
Memorandum
12 of 620
• A state agency, the ISP, administers the concealed carry license program, not a
locally based county sheriff, and
• The Illinois concealed carry application requirements are less onerous than those
in California, specifically, an Illinois applicant does not need to satisfy a “good
cause” standard for license issuance.
Conclusion:
The Peruta opinion is not controlling legal precedent in Illinois, and its holding conflicts
with Illinois state law and the 7th Circuit court opinion in Moore v. Madigan, 702 F.3d 933
(7th Cir. 2012). However, the Peruta opinion points out the need for the US Supreme
Court to weigh in on this matter and specifically answer whether there is 2nd
Amendment right to concealed carry in public or not.
The Law Department will maintain its ongoing monitoring of this issue and apprise the
City Council of future developments.

For City Council meeting of July 25, 2016 Item SP2
Lawn Sprinkling Ordinance Update
For Discussion
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: David D. Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Subject: Restrictions on Lawn Sprinkling
Date: July 19, 2016
Recommended Action:
Mayor Tisdahl has requested an update of the Ordinance requiring restrictions on lawn
sprinkling and other water uses.
Background Information:
A 1980 U.S. Supreme Court Decree limits the amount of water that Illinois can divert
from Lake Michigan. That same decree also contains language directing Illinois to
implement a water conservation program. The Level of Lake Michigan Act incorporates
the Decree language which states that:
“all feasible means reasonably available to the State and its municipalities,
political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities shall be employed to
conserve and manage the water resources of the region and the use of water
therein in accordance with the best modern scientific knowledge and
engineering practice.”
Amendments to the Lake Michigan Water Allocation Rules and Regulations became
final and effective on November 18, 2014. The rule that governs lawn sprinkling is
found in Illinois Administrative Code Section 3730.307 – Conservation Practices and
Other Permit Conditions. Paragraph 8 of this section states:
“The adoption of ordinances that restrict non-essential outside water uses to
prevent excessive, wasteful use. These shall provide that unrestricted lawn
sprinkling will not be allowed from May 15 through September 15 of each year
by requiring, as a minimum, that lawn sprinkling shall not occur on consecutive
days nor shall any lawn sprinkling occur during at least a 6 hour period in the
middle of the day when evapotranspiration is at its highest.”
Memorandum
14 of 620
The City Council adopted Ordinance 23-O-16 on March 28, 2016 that revised the City’s
code to meet these amended requirements. A copy of the Ordinance is attached for
reference.
Analysis:
All 217 entities that are provided a Lake Michigan Water Allocation from the Illinois
Department of Natural Recourses (IDNR) are required to meet the amended lawn
sprinkling requirements. The IDNR has indicated that the following communities near
Evanston have submitted certified copies of ordinances that comply with the new
requirements:
o Harwood Heights
o Glencoe
o Winnetka
o Northbrook
o Golf
o Wilmette
o Park Ridge
o Kenilworth
o Lincolnwood
Staff has also confirmed that the Village of Skokie has adopted an ordinance that reads:
“Lawn sprinkling or irrigation, including but not limited to the use of automatic or
oscillating sprinklers, is prohibited from the hours of 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Property owners with odd-numbered street addresses shall restrict the use [of]
sprinklers to odd-numbered days of the month. Property owners with even-
numbered street addresses shall restrict the use [of] sprinklers to even-
numbered days of the month.”
The Illinois Administrative Code also states that “Failure by any permittee to meet the
conservation requirements applicable to it within a reasonable period of time will, upon
notice, hearing and determination of the failure, constitutes a violation of a Department
order.” In theory, the IDNR could remove Evanston’s Lake Michigan water allocation if
the Evanston ordinance did not meet the IDNR requirements.
The amended rules also modified the annual audit reporting requirements by
municipalities. Prior to the amendment, municipalities reported on unaccountable water
loss which included a maximum unavoidable leakage exemption based on the age and
quantity of pipes in the distribution system. Municipalities had to have less than 8%
unaccounted for water loss to stay in compliance and Evanston consistently met this
requirement. The amended rule now requires the annual audit to be based on a non-
revenue water standard that does not take into account the maximum unavoidable
leakage exemption and requires the non-revenue water loss to be less than 12% in
2015 and decreasing to 10% by 2019. For 2015, Evanston’s non-revenue water loss
was 19.1%. Since Evanston exceeded the allowable non-revenue water percentage, a
15 of 620
water system improvement plan was prepared and submitted to the IDNR. This plan
outlines the actions Evanston plans to undertake along with a timeframe to reduce the
non-revenue water loss to less than the threshold required. Since Evanston is not
compliance with the current non-revenue water loss requirements, staff recommends
that the lawn sprinkling ordinance meet the IDNR requirements.

authorizes the City Manager to execute a sales contract that memorializes said
negotiations. A two-thirds majority of City Council is required to adopt Ordinance

Business of the City by Motion: Professional Account Management Renewal
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Members of the Administration & Public Works Committee

Erika Storlie, Deputy City Manager/Director of Administrative Services
Rickey A. Voss, Parking/Fleet manager
Alex Thorpe, Revenue Manager
Subject: Professional Account Management Optional Year Renewal
Date: June 24, 2016
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to exercise a one
(1) year optional contract extension with Professional Account Management, LLC, a
division of Duncan Solutions, Inc. (633 W. Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1600, Milwaukee,
WI). Professional Account Management administers the outsourced portion of the City’s
parking ticket management and payment processing functions. This contract is on a per
ticket basis; 2015 actual expenses were $319,809. The renewal price per ticket is
$0.657 which is a 10% reduction from the original 2008 contract price of $0.73. There is
no price increase or decrease from last year. The contract term was for three (3) years
with one (1) optional renewal year effective August 1, 2013, making this the final year of
the agreement.
Funding Source:
Citation and Secondary Processing (Account 100.15.1560.62449)
2016 Budget $320,000
Summary:
On January 15, 2008 the City entered into a contract with Professional Account
Management, LLC for the outsourcing City’s parking ticket management and payment
processing functions. The contract term was for three (3) years with two (2) optional
renewal years. A second three (3) year contract with one (1) optional renewal year was
effective August 1, 2013.
The objective of the one (1) year optional renewal contract proposal is to maintain
services this year while City Staff begins the evaluation of a new service delivery model
and/or a new vendor through an RFP process. Professional Account Management will
continue to include payment processing by mail, telephone or the Internet as well as all
license plate lookups, noticing, lockbox processing and the management of citations
Memorandum
104 of 620
that require administrative adjudication (walk-in payments and those received through
the Civic Center Payment Box will still be processed by the City Collector’s Office).
Outsourcing these functions is cost effective and has resulted in a superior citation
processing service. The entire payment collection process will remain with Professional
Account Management, LLC. This includes the receipt of mailed payments, posting of
payments, depositing of receipts into a City bank account, processing of notices, and
scheduling administrative adjudication hearing dates. Customers will continue to have
access to an Internet-based credit card payment option and 24-hour telephone payment
as another payment choice. Customers that come to the Civic Center to pay would be
transparent as the City would maintain the ability to receive citation payments over the
counter and post them in real time to Professional Account Management’s system via
the Internet.
Additionally, outsourcing is a reliable and proven way of increasing our collection rate.
At the original contract’s inception the collection rate at the City was 78%. The current
clearance rate is 88.6%. Our objective is to continue to work with the firm each year to
increase the collection rate through improvements in technology, training, noticing,
secondary collections, customer service, and collection of out-of-state license plate
information. Under the terms of the extended contract, Professional Account
Management, LLC will continue their reduced charge to the City by 10% over the
original contract assuming the same volume of transactions are being processed. The
partnership has proven to be successful and has enhanced the City’s ability to improve
efficiencies in parking citation management and collection. The continuing partnership
will enhance the City’s efforts to promote a more efficient, cost-effective and customer-
friendly government.

Services
Subject: Three year agreement for Northwestern Football Parking on the Evanston
Wilmette Golf Course during Home Football Games
Date: July 25, 2016
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of the Evanston Wilmette Golf Course Association’s
(EWGCA) request for a new three year agreement (2016, 2017 and 2018 seasons) to
continue to park cars on holes 1, 2, 11 and 12 of the golf course during Northwestern
University home football games. The only major change from the prior agreement is
that Northwestern has requested a minimum of four hour pre-game parking as opposed
to three hours.
Funding Source:
N/A
Summary:
According to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) lease agreement
with the City, the EWGCA, a sub-lessee, must gain approval from City Council in order
to use the lands in the agreement for any use other than its original purpose (including
both the actual course and the main parking lot area).
The EWGCA has gained approval from City Council for Northwestern University to park
cars on the golf course during their home football games, for the past eight years. This
parking arrangement between EWGCA and Northwestern University is important for
EWGCA because it provides the needed revenues to help maintain operations at golf
course.
Northwestern University will offer parking at the golf course (holes 1, 2 and 11) for their
season ticket holders only. No single-game parking passes will be sold. The dates of
the 2016 home games are: September 2, 10, 17, 24; October 22; and November 5, 26.
The parking lots would open four (4) hours prior to the start of the game and close two
(2) hours after the end of the game.

includes the rules about use of the golf lot and penalties for failure to comply.
6. Provide temporary lighting for all night games
7. Provide the required certificate of insurance and indemnification naming the

8. Northwestern University will pay the EWGCA a minimum amount of $35,000
for access to the golf course parking area for the home football games in the
seasons. Additionally, any remaining funds generated each season from
parking pass sales, less operational expenses incurred by the University, will
be determined solely by the University and submitted to EWGCA no later than
February 1 of the year following each season, but the amount of such
remaining funds will be no less than $17,500 for each season.
9. A maximum of 200 parking passes will be made available for the season for
holes 1, 2 and 11 each.
10. Insure that parked cars vacate lots within an agreed time frame after each

Business of the City by Motion: Rock Salt Purchase
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: David Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
James Maiworm, Bureau Chief of Infrastructure Maintenance
Subject: Rock Salt Purchase Contract Award
Date: July 19, 2016
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approval of a one-year contract for the purchase of up to
7,500 tons of rock salt from the Morton Salt Company (123 N. Wacker Drive, Chicago,
IL) at a cost of $51.21 per ton for a winter season total of $384,075.
Funding Source:
Funding for this purchase will be from the General Fund Snow and Ice Control (Account
100.40.4550.65015).
Summary:
In June of this year, staff solicited bids for the purchase of rock salt. The proposed
contract is for a one-year period, with the right to negotiate to extend the contract for up
to two additional, one-year periods.
For the 2016/2017 season, salt is expected to be in good supply. Last season was
below average in snowfall allowing salt supplies to be stable. Vendors were able to
rebuild supplies that had diminished during the previous two winters. This has led to a
significant decrease in pricing compared to the recent years.
The bid specification includes a flexible quantity requirement that allows the City to
either increase or decrease the actual delivered quantify by 30% of the estimated
quantity. A flexible quantity clause for rock salt is a best industry practice that ensures
municipalities can purchase what they need based on the actual winter weather
condition. This clause requires the City to purchase up to 70% of the order (5,250 tons)
and allows the City to purchase up to 130% of the order (up to 9,750 tons). Last year
the City purchased 6,000 tons of salt. The City currently has 1,800 tons of salt left in
storage from last year.

Last season the City of Evanston paid $69.71 per ton for bulk salt. The cost per ton
difference between last season and this season is $18.50.
Staff therefore recommends approval of the contract award to Morton Salt for the
2016/2017 winter season.

Business of the City by Motion: City’s Electricity Supply Agreement
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Kumar Jensen, Environmental Project Coordinator
David Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Subject: Approval of the City’s Electricity Supply Agreement (RFP 16-44)
Date: July 25, 2016
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approval of an Electricity Supply Agreement with the
low, responsive and responsible proposer to RFP 16-44 to supply electrical energy to
twenty-three (23) City-owned facilities beginning June, 2017. The low responsive and
responsible proposer will be determined upon receipt of pricing on the morning of July
25, 2016, which will then be presented to Administration and Public Works Committee
that night.
Funding Source:
The cost for electricity is billed to the various accounts that support the
buildings/facilities that are purchasing electricity through this agreement. Please see
attached Exhibit 1 that lists the buildings/facilities being serviced by this agreement and
the accounts that are being charged.
Background Information:
The City entered into an Electricity Supply Agreement with MC Squared Energy
Services in May, 2014. The agreement established a purchase price of $0.054890 per
kilowatt hour (kWh) and a term through May, 2017.
The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) has an approval process for companies that
want to supply electricity in the State of Illinois. The Public Works Agency prepared a
Request for Proposal (RFP 16-44) to obtain indicative pricing from Alternate Retail
Electric Suppliers (ARES) listed on the website.
Analysis:
In May, 2016 RFP 16-44 was issued to the ARES listed on the ICC website. Four
proposals were received on June 21, 2016 in response to the RFP as listed below:
Memorandum
150 of 620
Supplier Address
Dynegy Energy Services, LLC 1500 Eastport Plaza Drive Collinsville, IL 62234
MidAmerican Energy 320 Le Claire Davenport, IA 52808
MC Squared Energy Services,
LLC
175 West Jackson Blvd., Suite 240 Chicago, IL 60604
Constellation Energy 550 W. Washington St, Suite 300, Chicago, IL 60661
Due to the volatile pricing of electricity, which changes hour by hour, suppliers won’t
hold purchase prices for more than 24 hours without a considerable risk factor markup.
As a result, the pricing provided in these responses are only indicative since the City
isn’t entering into an agreement based on these prices. However, the proposals
provided information about the Suppliers and indicated each Supplier’s willingness to
execute the City’s proposed Electricity Agreement.
The proposals were reviewed by David Stoneback and Kumar Jensen. Their findings
were discussed with the Utilities Commission during their meeting on July 8, 2016.
During the review, Constellation Energy was determined to be non-responsive.
Cost Analysis
The City requested indicative pricing to supply energy for five different terms (12, 24,
36, 48 and 60) and two renewable energy requirements. The base bid pricing is based
on meeting only the requirement of the Illinois Public Act 095-1027 for renewable
energy (13% in 2017 when the contract would start) and 100% renewable energy wind
power generated in Illinois or a state that is adjacent to Illinois or the equivalent number
of Renewable Energy Credits or Certificates (RECs), as long as documentation is
provided that the RECs are Green-e Certified.
The enclosed Indicative Pricing Schedule (Exhibit 2) provides the proposals received.
Based on the information received during the indicative pricing, staff determined to seek
actionable pricing for the 12-month, 24-month and 36-month terms.
Recommendation Summary:
The City will be obtaining actionable prices from the selected vendors on July 25, 2016
and will present them along with an analysis and recommendation for award to the
APW/Council during their meetings that evening.
Legislative History:
None

Paul Moyano, P.E., Senior Project Manager
Subject: Water Treatment Plant Roof and Masonry Improvements
Change Order No. 2
Date: July 20, 2016
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Change
Order No. 2 for the Water Treatment Plant Roof and Masonry Improvements agreement
with Garland/DBS, Inc. (3800 East 91st Street, Cleveland, OH 44105) in the amount of
$3,000.00. This will increase the total contract amount from the original contract price
of $511,273 to $514,273. This Change Order will also include a time extension of 93
days, changing the contract completion date from July 28, 2016 to October 31, 2016.
Funding Source:
Funding for this project is from the Water Fund (Account 513.71.7330.65515-716004),
which has an FY 2016 allocation of $550,000 for this project.
Background:
On April 11, 2016, the City Council awarded a contract with Garland/DBS for $511,273
through the U.S. Communities Purchasing Program. Garland DBS designed the roof
and masonry improvements at the Water Treatment Plant and subcontracted the
specialty roofing and masonry contractors to complete the work. Change Order No. 1
was executed on June 30, 2016 providing a 28-day extension which was authorized by
David Stoneback, the Public Works Agency Director. This change order provided
additional time to complete some unanticipated masonry work.
The additional cost included in the proposed Change Order No. 2 addresses
unforeseen conditions of an underground portion of masonry wall that was fixed. The
time extension is for this additional work, as well as for a delay in the delivery of a
specialty order replacement sky light.
Memorandum
154 of 620
Analysis:
The masonry subcontractor worked to repair a deteriorated portion of the masonry wall
on the west side of the service building of the Water Treatment Plant. This portion of
the wall was below the grade. Normally, masonry facades are anchored to the
structural concrete wall behind it, but in this case, it was not and a portion of the wall
collapsed when they began to repair it. The additional cost is for the labor associated
with rebuilding the collapsed portion of the wall with the appropriate anchors. This
Change Order will increase the total contract amount by 0.6% to $514,273.
The time extension covers the additional time needed to rebuild the wall, in addition to
delays in the delivery of a specialty replacement skylight at the treatment plant.
A summary of the project funding is as follows:

Subject: Resolution, 56-R-16, Professional Services Agreement with James B.
Moran Center for “Certificate of Rehabilitation Program”
Date: July 25, 2016
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that City Council adopt Resolution 56-R-16, authorizing the City
manager to execute an agreement between the City of Evanston and the James B.
Moran Center for Youth Advocacy (1123 Emerson, Suite 203 Evanston, IL 60201) to
provide legal services for not less than nine Evanston residents to secure certificates of
rehabilitation in an amount not to exceed $30,000.
Funding Source:
Funding for this agreement is budgeted in Parks, Recreation and Community Services,
Youth and Young Adult Engagement Division (Account 100.30.3215.62490 with a
budget of $280,165). Costs amount to approximately $3,300 per participant.
The City of Evanston shall be financially responsible for the furtherance of the program.
The James B. Moran Center would be responsible for handling the payment of direct
and indirect costs for not less than 9 (@$3,300 each); which include legal services, filing
fees, supportive materials, transportation fees and if necessary assistance with child
care on days that such assistance would be necessary.
Summary:
Certificates of rehabilitation are an essential resource that can offer support reentry to
those Evanston residents that have a criminal record and thus promote public safety by
lifting statutory bars to jobs, licenses or other necessities such as housing that result
from a conviction history. The Youth and Young Adult Division staff has been
performing outreach in the community and have identified individuals that would greatly
benefit from this program. This agreement for services is to facilitate year four of the
“Certificate of Rehabilitation Program”. The intention of the program is to obtain
certificates of rehabilitation from the Circuit Court of Cook County, pursuant to 730 ILCS
5/5-5.5-5 et. seq., for qualified ex-offenders who reside in Evanston, IL. These
Memorandum

Resolution 56-R-16, Rehabilitation Program with James B. Moran Center

certificates lift statutory bars to jobs, licenses or other necessities such as housing that
result from a conviction history.
It would give those selected an opportunity to demonstrate rehabilitation or a commitment
to rehabilitation. The state of Illinois is one of the states that have laws in place that
authorize certificates of rehabilitation or other similar means of removing legal barriers
arising from a criminal record separate and apart from seeking a pardon.
Staff identified the James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy as a partner for this pilot
program, based on their ability to perform the services and current outstanding
community work of providing services for low-income Evanston young adults and their
families with legal representation. The Moran Center has the legal expertise, social work
services components and community partnerships to manage this program.
Additionally, over the last three years, they have also provided assistance and
resources to individuals participating in the City’s “Building Career Pathways to
Sustainable Employment Program” and other individuals that the City’s outreach team
identified as needing assistance.
2012 to 2015 Program Results
69 Clients have had their criminal records sealed
122 Clients have received a partial sealing of their criminal records
27 Clients have had their records expunged
1 Client has received state Clemency
19 Certificates of Rehabilitation awarded
300 Evanston Residents have participated in program orientation
Listed below is a summary of the scope of work to be performed by the James B. Moran
Center:
James B. Moran will secure certificates of rehabilitation which could also include
criminal records sealing or partial sealing, expungement, or pardon/executive clemency
for not less than 9 Evanston residents that have a criminal record, and who meet the
prerequisites contained in the legislation. Prospective clients that have conviction(s) for
the following are not eligible: a Class X felony; any felony that resulted in “great bodily
harm or permanent disability”; conviction for aggravated DUI or aggravated domestic
battery; and offenses that require post-release registration (sex offenses, offenses
against children, rape, arson, etc.).
Individuals will receive the following assistance: (a) an initial assessment to determine
the extent of criminal history and eligibility for the Certificate of Rehabilitation; (b)
creation and development of personal history and references to be presented to the
Circuit Court Judge; (c) mentoring from a licensed attorney; (d) assistance in obtaining
all police, probation, and parole reports; (e) covering of costs associated with
159 of 620
processing fees if ineligible for a fee waiver; (f) submission of all required legal
documentation, filings and petitions at Circuit Court and States Attorney's Office; (g)
legal representation during candidate court appearances and (h) assistance for
childcare, transportation and supplemental support materials.
The Moran Center will work with City outreach staff to identify, recruit, and service
potential clients in the City of Evanston, and keep records of such.
Finally, provide regular updates to City of Evanston staff on the status of individuals
being served, including a summary of expenditures, encumbered and available balance.

City and its officers, elected and appointed officials, agents, and employees from
any and all liability, losses, or damages as a result of claims, demands, suits,
actions, or proceedings of any kind or nature, including but not limited to costs,
and fees, including attorney’s fees, judgments or settlements, resulting from or
arising out of any negligent or willful act or omission on the part of the Consultant
or Consultant’s subcontractors, employees, agents or subcontractors during the
performance of this Agreement. Such indemnification shall not be limited by
reason of the enumeration of any insurance coverage herein provided. This
provision shall survive completion, expiration, or termination of this Agreement.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the City, or its
officers, agents, or employees, from defending through the selection and use of
their own agents, attorneys, and experts, any claims, actions or suits brought
against them. The Consultant shall be liable for the costs, fees, and expenses
incurred in the defense of any such claims, actions, or suits. Nothing herein shall
be construed as a limitation or waiver of defenses available to the City and
employees and agents, including but not limited to the Illinois Local
Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act, 745 ILCS 10/1-
101 et seq.
At the City Corporation Counsel’s option, Consultant must defend all suits
brought upon all such Losses and must pay all costs and expenses incidental to
them, but the City has the right, at its option, to participate, at its own cost, in the
defense of any suit, without relieving Consultant of any of its obligations under
168 of 620
6
this Agreement. Any settlement of any claim or suit related to this Agreement by
Consultant must be made only with the prior written consent of the City
Corporation Counsel, if the settlement requires any action on the part of the City.
To the extent permissible by law, Consultant waives any limits to the
amount of its obligations to indemnify, defend, or contribute to any sums due
under any Losses, including any claim by any employee of Consultant that may
be subject to the Illinois Workers Compensation Act, 820 ILCS 305/1 et seq. or
any other related law or judicial decision, including but not limited to, Kotecki v.
Cyclops Welding Corporation, 146 Ill. 2d 155 (1991). The City, however, does not
waive any limitations it may have on its liability under the Illinois Workers
Compensation Act, the Illinois Pension Code or any other statute.
Consultant shall be responsible for any losses and costs to repair or
remedy work performed under this Agreement resulting from or arising out of any
act or omission, neglect, or misconduct in the performance of its Work or its
subconsultants’ work. Acceptance of the work by the City will not relieve the
Consultant of the responsibility for subsequent correction of any such error,
omissions and/or negligent acts or of its liability for loss or damage resulting
therefrom. All provisions of this Section shall survive completion, expiration, or
termination of this Agreement.
J. Insurance. Consultant shall carry and maintain at its own cost with such
companies as are reasonably acceptable to City all necessary liability insurance
(which shall include as a minimum the requirements set forth below) during the
term of this Agreement, for damages caused or contributed to by Consultant, and

injury, death or property damage, per occurrence, and (4) errors and omissions
or professional liability insurance respecting any insurable professional services
hereunder in the amount of at least $1,000,000. Consultant shall give to the City
certificates of insurance for all Services done pursuant to this Agreement before
Consultant performs any Services, and, if requested by City, certified copies of
the policies of insurance evidencing the coverage and amounts set forth in this
Section. The City may also require Consultant to provide copies of the Additional
Insured Endorsement to said policy(ies) which name the City as an Additional
Insured for all of Consultant’s Services and work under this Agreement. Any
limitations or modification on the certificate of insurance issued to the City in
compliance with this Section that conflict with the provisions of this Section shall
have no force and effect. Consultant’s certificate of insurance shall contain a
169 of 620
7
provision that the coverage afforded under the policy(s) will not be canceled or
reduced without thirty (30) days prior written notice (hand delivered or registered
mail) to City. Consultant understands that the acceptance of certificates, policies
and any other documents by the City in no way releases the Consultant and its
subcontractors from the requirements set forth herein. Consultant expressly
agrees to waive its rights, benefits and entitlements under the “Other Insurance”
clause of its commercial general liability insurance policy as respects the City. In
the event Consultant fails to purchase or procure insurance as required above,
the parties expressly agree that Consultant shall be in default under this
Agreement, and that the City may recover all losses, attorney’s fees and costs
expended in pursuing a remedy or reimbursement, at law or in equity, against
Consultant.
Consultant acknowledges and agrees that if it fails to comply with all
requirements of this Section, that the City may void this Agreement.

Consultant with information to enable Consultant to render the Services

reports, recommendations and /or conclusions which Consultant may make for
City to any person, firm or corporation or use the same in any manner
whatsoever without first obtaining City’s written approval, and (iii) not to disclose

third party unless Consultant shall have first received written permission from
such third party to disclose such information.
Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140/7(2),
records in the possession of others whom the City has contracted with to perform
a governmental function are covered by the Act and subject to disclosure within
limited statutory timeframes (five (5) working days with a possible five (5) working
day extension). Upon notification from the City that it has received a Freedom of
Information Act request that calls for records within the Consultant’s control, the
Consultant shall promptly provide all requested records to the City so that the
City may comply with the request within the required timeframe. The City and the
Consultant shall cooperate to determine what records are subject to such a
request and whether or not any exemptions to the disclosure of such records, or
part thereof, is applicable. Vendor shall indemnify and defend the City from and
against all claims arising from the City’s exceptions to disclosing certain records
which Vendor may designate as proprietary or confidential. Compliance by the
City with an opinion or a directive from the Illinois Public Access Counselor or the
Attorney General under FOIA, or with a decision or order of Court with jurisdiction
over the City, shall not be a violation of this Section.

For City Council meeting of July 25, 2016 Item A5
Resolution 57-R-16, Grant Application for Chi-Cal Rivers Fund
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Kumar Jensen, Environmental Project Coordinator;
David D. Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Subject: Resolution 57-R-16, Grant Application for the Chi-Cal Rivers Fund
Administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
Date: July 25, 2016
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that City Council adopt 57-R-16 authorizing the City Manager to
negotiate and execute a grant application for the Chi-Cal Rivers Fund administered by
the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF).
Funding Source:
The grant is a one-time award of roughly $100,000 with a required 1:1 match provided
by the City of Evanston Environment Services Bureau to be utilized for projects over two
years (2017 and 2018). Grant recipients are announced in December of 2016 with
proposed projects beginning in early 2017. The Environmental Services Bureau will
provide a $100,000 match through maintenance labor and materials over the two year
life cycle of the grant. No increase to the operating budget is anticipated for Evanston
to provide its match.
Summary:
The Chi-Cal Rivers Fund is a public-private partnership working to restore the health,
vitality and accessibility of the waterways in the Chicago and Calumet region by
supporting green stormwater infrastructure, habitat enhancement, and public-use
improvements.
Grant Overview
The grant will support many of the goals Mayor Tisdahl made in signing the Mayors’
Monarch Pledge including enhancing habitats for pollinators, migratory birds and
monarch butterflies. The grant is designed to enhance habitat pockets along the North
Shore channel through engagement with neighborhood organizations with guidance
from local habitat and bird experts. The grant is broken down in two sections: Habitat
Enhancement and Public Use Improvements.
Habitat Enhancement - Working with planting plans, training, and oversight provided by
Living Habitats, a Chicago landscape architecture firm with expertise in ecological
Memorandum
178 of 620
planning, and with Evanston-based migratory bird expert Judy Pollock, the grant will
add multi-layered habitat to a 2.75-acre section of the arboretum along a thousand-foot
stretch of the North Shore Channel. In addition, there will be plantings of native shrubs
and understory trees in three other public parks, to serve as “stepping-stone” sites
between the channel and Lake Michigan; Twiggs Park and Ingraham Park [.25 acres
each] + Harbert Park [.5 acres].
Public Use Improvements - In addition to improving natural aesthetics of channel-side
parks in underserved communities near the waterway, the project will improve public
access through:
• Repairs and upgrades to the Ladd Arboretum’s dock area and a section of the
crushed stone trail that runs from the Ecology Center on Bridge Street to the
existing Grady Bird Sanctuary
• Addition of an informational kiosk next to the Ecology Center at the beginning of
this refurbished trail
• Refurbishment of observation decks that overlook the Twiggs and Harbert Park
side of the channel
• Creation of an Evanston Habitat Network and Birding Trail website (optimized for
mobile users) that takes in these four sites as well as Perkins Woods and the
Clark Street Beach Bird Sanctuary.
The City has connected with a variety of community partners that have expressed
support in the grant application as well as implementation of different aspects of the
planned work. The City has received letters of support from Citizens’ Greener Evanston
(CGE), OpenLands and their TreeKeeper program and the Evanston Environmental
Association (EEA) (see Attachment 2). The City has also requested letters of support
from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, Evanston ReBuilding Warehouse and
the Evanston North Shore Bird Club. Letters are due to the City by July 25 in
anticipation of the grant submission deadline of July 27, 2016.
A crucial aspect of the public use improvement portion of the grant is creating stronger
ties with existing community leaders to increase neighborhood participation particularly
in areas that will be affected, namely wards 2, 5 and 7. The grant will provide funding to
support recruitment of community groups and stipends for community leaders who
support engagement and community participation. There will be significant opportunities
to leverage community and neighborhood group volunteers to help with invasive and
dead species removal, mulching, new plantings and on-going maintenance in the form
of local habitat stewards.
The matching funds will be primarily provided through labor from the Environmental
Services Bureau and materials related to the maintenance and establishment of newly
planting native plants. Tasks will include invasive and dead plant and tree removal and
replanting and mulching of newly planted native plants and milkweed in the projects
areas (see attachment 1).

Dear Mr. Stoneback:
Citizens' Greener Evanston enthusiastically commits to partnership in the City's proposed Chi-Cal
project to improve migratory bird habitat and increase public access in the Ladd Arboretum and other
city green spaces.
Since its founding in 2008, CGE has worked to make Evanston a more sustainable community—
environmentally, economically, and socially. This project is closely aligned with two of CGE's
priorities, community wildlife habitat and environmental justice, as part of our wider mission of
building a more climate-resilient community.
For several years, we have worked closely with Evanston TreeKeepers and with the City's offices of
forestry and sustainability, including offering jointly planned public programs about topics such as
urban forests and sustainable gardening. In May of this year, we included in this annual event a
planting in the Ladd Arboretum of several hundred native seedling shrubs donated by the National
Wildlife Federation.
CGE will help to plan and facilitate similar programs as part of the Chi-Cal project. We also will bring
to bear on the project our extensive communication network and emerging environmental justice
initiatives with neighborhoods in which three of the parks are located.
Sincerely,
Jonathan

The Evanston Environmental Association (EEA) enthusiastically supports the City's proposed
Chi-Cat project to improve migratory bird habitat and increase public access in the Ladd
Arboretum and nearby city parks.
EEAwas established in 1976 to support the city's new Ecology Center and the Ladd
Arboretum, where it is located, and to promote environmental awareness to the surrounding
community. The Ecology Center's environmental education programs make extensive use of
the arboretum and the North Shore Channel and will be greatly enhanced by the planned
improvements there and along nearby channel-side parks. There is no better place in
Evanston to involve the public in creating, caring for, and learning about the importance of
native habitat and an ecological approach to landscape planning.
We also recognize the need for a strong, ongoing citizen stewardship effort to maintain and
further expand habitat in an intensively used urban environment like ours and are pleased
to see that is part of the project.
EEAwill be pleased to support community outreach and communication using our extensive
network, and media outlets.

Memorandum
187 of 620
Background:
Staff recommended adoption of Resolution 4-R-16 at the January 11, 2016 City Council
meeting. This resolution authorized the City Manager to execute the IDOT Local Public
Agency Agreement for the Emerson/Ridge/Green Bay Project based on receiving
$3,833,943 in Grant Funds and the City allocating $4,402,373 in funds for the
anticipated total project cost of $8,236,316. At the April 11, 2016 Council meeting, staff
recommended award of the project to the low bidder in the amount of $11,173,775.42
and also provided potential options for funding the additional cost of the project.
Staff was successful in obtaining additional grant funding in the amount of $1,973,330,
but the portion of the project that needs to be funded by Evanston also increased by
$784,129. This cost will be funded as follows:
Analysis:
In order to obtain the revised federal STP and CMAQ grants, City Council must adopt a
resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a revised funding agreement with
IDOT that attests that additional funding has been appropriated to fund the City’s portion
of the project that now totals $5,188,502.

203 of 620
4
(a) For the Initial Term and any additional Renewal Terms, if any, of this Agreement, Tenant

(c) If at any time during the Initial Term the annual vehicle ownership report indicates that

reviewed by the City Council, and if approved, must constitute an amendment to this Agreement.
(d) Tenant agrees to deny apartment leases to potential residents of 1571 Maple Avenue,

hundred one (101) needed spaces, or until the surplus parking spaces can be accommodated in a
revised lease agreement with the Landlord as provided in Section 5(c) hereof.
(e) During the Initial Term, if Tenant’s certified vehicle ownership report indicates that the
number of vehicles owned by Project residents is less than one hundred one (101) vehicles, then,
effective as of the expiration of the Initial Term, Tenant may request an amendment to this
Agreement to reduce the number of parking spaces that constitute the Leased Premises to the
highest number of spaces evidenced on the annual vehicle ownership reports during the Initial
Term. Such amendment will reviewed by the City Council, and if approved, must constitute an
amendment to this Agreement, effective for the succeeding Renewal Term, and the Rent during
such Renewal Term shall be adjusted based on the number of parking spaces required.
Thereafter, if the annual vehicle ownership reports evidence a further decrease in vehicle
ownership during any Renewal Term, Tenant is permitted to request an amendment to this
Agreement that will be reviewed by the City Council, and if approved must constitute an
amendment to this Agreement, effective as of the commencement of the succeeding Renewal
Term and subject to the corresponding reduction in Rent.
6. Rent. As required under the Ordinance, during the Initial Term and any Renewal
Term, the Tenant agrees to pay the Landlord as rent for the Leased Premises, an amount equal to

standard automobile parking fee in effect at the Public Garage multiplied by 101 parking spaces,
as required by the Ordinance (collectively, “Rent”). Rent shall be prepaid in monthly
installments on or before the first day of each month during the Initial Term, or any Renewal
Term, as the case may be. Rent and other charges due under this Lease shall be made payable to
City of Evanston, and delivered to City of Evanston, Attn: Collector’s Office, 2100 Ridge
Avenue, Evanston, Illinois 60201 or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time

5
designate in writing. Rent shall begin to accrue as of the date that is 180 days after the day
Tenant receives a Certificate of Occupanc y from Landlord for the Project (such date, the “Rent
Commencement Date”). Landlord may, in its sole discretion, increase the standard monthly
parking rate for automobiles at the Public Garage and deliver written notice thereof to Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such changes to the Rent made
pursuant to this Section 6 shall not require a written amendment to this Agreement and shall be
deemed effective as of the first day of the month that occurs not less than thirty (30) days after
Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice as required in this Section, and commencing with such
month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the increased standard monthly rate.
7. Transponders. Tenant shall be issued a total number of transponders equivalent
to the total number of parking spaces in the Leased Premises as provided for in this Agreement.
The cost of the transponders shall be at the Tenant’s sole expense and shall be provided by the
Landlord. Tenant is solely responsible for maintaining and insuring proper use of all
transponders. Any attempt to manipulate or circumvent any parking procedures or the provisions
of this Agreement may result in immediate revocation of parking privileges. Tenant
acknowledges that the transponder must be used upon entry and exit to the Public Garage.
Absent such use, Tenant may be subject to the daily parking rate for said facility. Tenant
acknowledges that a replacement charge for lost or damages transponders will be imposed by
Landlord at the Tenant’s sole expense and a deposit fee will need to be posted for each
transponder.
8. Non-Exclusive Use. Spaces in the Public Garage shall not be reserved for
exclusive use by the Tenant. Tenant shall have non-exclusive use of the number of spaces that
constitute the Leased Premises and for parking purposes only. The Tenant acknowledges and
agrees that only residents of the Project will be permitted to use the Leased Premises under this
Agreement. Landlord will supply permits to Tenant for display in resident vehicles parked in the
Leased Premises. Vehicles parked in the Public Garage without a Landlord issued permit clearly
displayed in the vehicle will be subject to being ticketed and/or towed. Tenant will instruct its
residents that they may park anywhere in the Leased Premises except the roof of the facility.
9. Renewal. The Tenant shall exercise each Renewal Option, if at all, by written
notice delivered to Landlord within sixty (60) days of the expiration of the Initial Term or then
current Renewal Term, as the case may be. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall apply to each Renewal Term except that the description of the number of spaces in the
Leased Premises and the Rent shall be adjusted accordingly if Tenant has exercised the right to
request such adjustments pursuant to Section 5(e) of this Lease. In the event the Tenant timely
exercises a Renewal Option, the Landlord and the Tenant each agree to execute an amendment to
this Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant and such amendment
shall be approved by the City Council as an amendment to this Agreement. In the event Tenant
seeks to not renew the Agreement, Tenant must provide written notice of its plan of compliance
with conditions set forth in the Ordinance, notably Condition Z.
10. Accounting of Leased Spaces. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord the following information, along with a statement signed by an authorized
representative of Tenant certifying:
205 of 620
6
(a) The total number of permits or licenses issued to residents of the Project for the Leased
Premises; and
(b) The monthly fees charged by Tenant for use of the Leased Premises.
11. Books and Records. Tenant shall maintain complete and accurate books and
records of account in accordance with generally accepted business and accounting practices with
respect to the use of and licensing and subleasing of the Leased Premises to sublessees (but not
including any revenues derived from such licenses). The books and records of account shall be
retained by Tenant for four (4) years, and, upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver
possession of the books and records, or accurate copies thereof, to Landlord. In addition, upon
expiration or termination of this Agreement, and for four years thereafter, Tenant shall make
available to Landlord for inspection and copying (at no expense to Landlord) the books and
records of four (4) years preceding the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Landlord or
its authorized representatives may conduct at any time upon reasonable prior notice, an audit or
inspection of the books and records of Tenant relating to the licensing or subleasing of the
Leased Premises to sublessees solely for the purpose of determining the degree to which
sublessees used the Leased Premises and whether Tenant has complied with this Agreement and
City of Evanston Ordinance 19-O-15. The obligations of Tenant under this Section shall survive
the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.
12. Compliance with Law. Tenant shall not use the Leased Premises, or knowingly
permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises, that will in any way conflict with
any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may
hereafter be enacted or promulgated.
13. Landlord Repair Responsibility. Landlord shall repair and maintain the Leased
Premises, including snow removal, paving, repair of potholes, and curb cuts. Landlord shall not
be liable for any failure to make such repairs or to perform any maintenance if need for such
repair is due to the neglect on the part of the Tenant. Tenant shall provide Landlord with written
notice of any repairs needed and Landlord shall address said repair(s) within a reasonable time to
be agreed between City and Tenant. If during such repairs, Landlord is unable to make the
number of parking spaces required under this Agreement available for use by residents of the
Project for a period of ten (10) consecutive days or more, then Rent shall abate on a per diem
basis and for the number of parking spaces affected accordingly. Such abatement shall be
applied to the next monthly installment of Rent due, or if the last required installment of Rent has
been paid, Landlord shall refund such amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the completion
of such repair. The provisions of this Section shall not apply in the case of damage or
destruction by fire or other casualty or a taking under the power of eminent domain which are
governed by Sections 19 and 20, respectively, of this Agreement.
14. Tenant Alterations Prohibited. Tenant shall not, at any time during the Lease
Term, make any alterations, decorations, additions, or improvements to the Leased Premises.
15. Utilities. Landlord shall be responsible for and pay for all utilities supplied to the
Leased Premises.
16. Insurance to be Maintained by Landlord. Throughout the term, Landlord
covenants to maintain insurance with respect to the Public Garage insuring against loss or
206 of 620
7
damage by fire and such other hazards for the full insurable replacement cost of such
improvements, less deductibles; and comprehensive public liability, and property damage
insurance in such limits as deemed appropriate.
17. Casualty/Restoration. In the event the Public Garage is damaged by fire,
explosion or any other casualty and as a consequence thereof, Landlord is unable to provide the
required number of spaces at the Leased Premises, then Tenant’s Rent shall abate based on the
number of unavailable parking spaces, for such time and until such restoration and repair is
completed. Any credit due to Tenant will be applied to the succeeding Rent payment(s) due, or
if no such payment shall become due, then Landlord shall refund such amount to Tenant on or
prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after completion of the restoration. In the event that
Landlord elects not repair, then this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of the casualty and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Ordinance, Tenant shall have no further
obligation to lease parking spaces from Landlord and the Project shall be deemed conforming as
to parking. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, Landlord may elect to nullify such termination by
written notice to tenant delivered within ninety (90) days of the date of termination if Landlord
makes comparable parking accommodations available to Tenant for an equal or lesser number of
spaces within the same or lesser distance from the Project at or below the Rent rates in effect as
of the date of termination. In the event that Landlord timely notifies Tenant of such election,
Landlord and Tenant shall amend this Agreement to reflect the substitute location of the Leased
Premises, number of parking spaces and Rent generally charged for monthly automobile parking
at the substitute location, and such other modifications to terms and conditions that are warranted
on the basis of such substitution and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
18. Eminent Domain.
(a) More than 50% Taken: If 50 percent (50%) or more of the Public Garage is taken for a
public or quasi-public use, this Agreement will terminate as of the date of the physical taking,
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Ordinance, Tenant shall have no further
obligation to lease parking spaces from Landlord and the Project shall be deemed conforming as
to parking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the landlord may elect to nullify such termination by
providing substitute, comparable parking in accordance with the provisions of Section 19 hereof.
(b) Less than 50% Taken: If the taking affects less than 50 percent of the Public Garage and
Landlord continues to provide the required number of parking spaces to Tenant, then Landlord
will, with reasonable diligence, proceed at Landlord’s expense to repair or reconstruct the Public
Garage to a tenantable covered parking condition within 90 days after the date of the actual
physical taking.
(c) Abatement of Rent: During any repair, Tenant’s Rent shall abate based on the number of
unavailable parking spaces, for such time and until such restoration and repair is completed.
Any credit due to Tenant will be applied to the succeeding Rent payment(s) due, or if no such
payment shall become due, then Landlord shall refund such amount to Tenant on or prior to the
date that is thirty (30) days after the completion of the repair.
(d) Right to Condemnation Award: Any award made in any condemnation proceeding for the
taking of any part of the Premises will be the sole property of Landlord.

notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, sublet all or any portion of the
Leased Premises or assign the Lease to (i) a subsidiary, parent, affiliate, division or corporation
controlled by or under common control with Tenant; or (ii) a successor corporation related to
Tenant by merger, consolidation, reorganization or government action. Additionally, Tenant
may assign this Lease (x) to a successor owner in the event of a sale of Tenant’s Property, or (y)
to Tenant’s lender as additional security for Tenant’s loan, and in either case, Landlord shall
consent to such assignment, the form of which assignment and consent shall be subject to the
reasonable approval of the parties. In the case of an assignment pursuant to clause (y) hereof, if
requested by Tenant’s lender to protect and perfect its interest in the Lease and to maintain the
conforming status of the Project, Landlord agrees to: permit the Lease or a memorandum thereof
to be recorded; allow Tenant’s lender to obtain and record a leasehold mortgage; and if
requested, enter into a lessor’s agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Tenant’s lender and Landlord. No portion of the Leased Premises shall be sublet for any
purpose other than parking. All subleases or assignments must be in compliance with current
provisions of the City of Evanston Code.
(b) Any attempt or purported transfer, assignment, subletting, mortgage, or agreement
(hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Transfer”) other than what is stated in this Section 21,
without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be void and of no force or effect and shall not
confer any interest or estate in the purported transferee. However, Tenant shall remain liable for
any and all rents and monies due Landlord up to and including the date of such termination and
shall not be relieved of its obligations and responsibilities to pay all amounts due to Landlord.
20. Signs. Tenant may not erect or install any signage, of any nature or design,
without Landlord’s prior written consent and without following the submission and approval
process set forth in the City Code.

protect, indemnify and save Landlord and its officers, agents, attorneys, and employees harmless
from and against any and all obligations, liabilities, costs, damages, claims and expenses of
whatever nature arising from injury to persons or damage to property on the Leased Premises,
arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises or
Tenant’s activities on the Leased Premises, or arising from any negligent or willful act of Tenant.
Tenant shall pay for all of Landlord’s costs of suit and attorneys’ fees and expenses.
22. Holdover. On the last day of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may
be, or upon any earlier termination of this Agreement, or upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the
Leased Premises, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord and return the
transponders. If Tenant remains in possession after the expiration date or after any earlier
termination date of this Agreement (a) Tenant shall be deemed a tenant at will; (b) Tenant shall
pay hundred percent (100%) of the last prevailing Rent hereunder, (c) there shall be no renewal
or extension of this Agreement by operation of law, and (d) the tenancy at will may be

constitute a default and breach of this Agreement by Tenant:
(a) If Tenant fails to pay the monthly Rent or any other charges required to be paid by
Tenant within ten (10) business days of the date such payments are due; or
(b) If Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform any other covenant, condition or agreement
contained in this Agreement and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of any such default is such
that the same cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall have such additional period of
time as may be necessary to cure such default provided that it commences to cure said default
within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to complete such cure, and
provided further that such default is cured within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the
date of Landlord’s notice to Tenant; or
(c) Tenant shall make a general assignment the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing
its inability to pay its debts as they become due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy.
24. Landlord’s Remedies. In the event of Tenant’s default hereunder, then after
applicable notice and the expiration of any cure period, Landlord shall have the right, at
Landlord’s option, upon giving notice to tenant, to terminate this Agreement and Tenant’s right
of possession of the Leased Premises.
25. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each and
all of its provisions in which performance is a factor, and all provisions herein and all provisions
relating thereto, shall be strictly construed.
26. Successors and Assigns. All of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns. No third party, other than such heirs, legal representatives, successors
and assigns, shall be entitled to enforce any or all of the provisions of this Agreement or shall
have any rights hereunder whatsoever.
27. Quiet Enjoyment. Upon Tenant paying the Rent reserved hereunder and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant’s part to be

of the parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Agreement, and no

Landlord shall deliver written notice to tenant thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
209 of 620
10
proposed sale. Upon sale of the Leased Premises, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed
and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or
derived from this Agreement arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the
consummation of such sale, and without further action of the Landlord or the City Council,
Tenant shall be not relieved of its obligation to provide 101 parking spaces to Tenants’ of the
Project as required by the Ordinance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Tenant’s election by
notice delivered to Landlord, the purchaser of the Leased Premises shall assume and agree to
carry out any and all of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Agreement, as
the same may be modified by Tenant and such purchaser, pursuant to an assignment and
assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to said parties. If Tenant elects to not lease parking
spaces at the Leased Premises following the sale, Tenant must provide the City of Evanston
notice of how it will comply with the Ordinance requirements for parking at an alternative
site(s).
30. Notices. Notices and demands required or permitted to be given hereunder shall

expense. The insurance is to cover, in addition to any personal property at the Property, the above
building standard leasehold improvements and betterments incorporated into the Property, whether
or not initially installed and/or paid for by the Tenant. The Tenant’s aggregate coverage amount
must be an amount sufficient to cover both the tenant’s personal property at the Property and the
leasehold improvements. So long as the Lease is not terminated pursuant to Paragraph 9 for a
casualty, the proceeds of tenant’s insurance policy with respect to the tenant improvements shall be
used to restore and replace the same.
(b) Tenant agrees to maintain a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance
written by an insurance carrier rated at least Class A or better in Bests Key Rating Guide of
Property-Casualty Insurance Companies and licensed to do business in the state in which the
Property is located which shall insure against liability for injury to and/or death of and/or damage
to personal property of any person or persons, with policy limits of not less than $2,000,000.00
combined single limit for injury to or death of any number of persons or for damage to property
of others not arising out of any one occurrence. Said policy or policies shall provide, among other
things, blanket contractual liability insurance. Tenant’s policy shall cover the Property and the
business operated by Tenant and shall name Landlord as an additional insured. Landlord is self-
insured up to $1.25 Million and agrees to maintain an excess policy or policies of commercial
general liability insurance over the self-insured limit written by an insurance carrier with a rating at
least Class A or better in the Bests Key Rating Guide and licensed to do business in the state in
which the Property is located which shall insure against liability for injury to and/or death of
and/or damage to personal property of any person or persons, with policy limits of not less than
$2,000,000.00 combined single limit for injury to or death of any number of persons or for
damage to property of others not arising out of any one occurrence.
(c) Each of the parties hereto agrees to maintain and keep in force, during the Term hereof, all
Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Insurance required under applicable Workers'
Compensation Acts.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after written request, each of the parties agrees to deliver to the other
a certificate of insurance as evidence that the policies of insurance required by this Section 10 have
been issued and are in effect.
(e) Waiver of Subrogation. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other or to any
insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or
damage to any building, structure or other tangible property, or any resulting loss of income for
property or general liability losses, even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned
by the acts or omissions of such party, its agents, contractors or employees. Landlord or Tenant
shall look exclusively to the proceeds of insurance carried by it or for its benefit in the event of any
damage or destruction to its property located on the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Landlord and Tenant hereby release and waive any and all rights of
recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against the other, or its respective directors, shareholders,
officers, agents, invitees and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the property or
the equipment, fixtures and improvements comprising any part of the Property, by reason of fire,
the elements, or any other cause which could be insured against under the terms of an “all risk” fire
insurance policy, in the state where the Property is located, regardless of cause or origin, including
negligence of the parties hereto, their agents, officers, invitees and employees. Subject to the
provisions of the Lease, no insurer of a party hereunder shall ever hold or be entitled to any claim,
demand or cause of action against Tenant by virtue of a claim of loss paid under any such insurance
policies, whether such insurer’s claim be in the nature of subrogation or otherwise. The waivers
provided pursuant to this paragraph shall not operate to the extent that they would void coverage
under the provisions of any policy of insurance.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease and subject to Section 10(e), and except to the extent
caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its agents, employees or contractors,
or by the breach of this Lease by Landlord, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and save
Landlord and its officers, directors, agents, attorneys, and employees harmless from and against any
and all obligations, liabilities, costs, damages, claims and expenses of whatever nature arising from (i)
any matter, condition or thing that occurs in the Property, which is not the result of Landlord’s
negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, or its agents,
employees or contractors; or (iii) Landlord’s breach occasioned wholly or in part by any act,
omission of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or servants. The provisions of this Section
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease only with respect to any damage,
injury or death occurring before such expiration or earlier termination.
11. EMINENT DOMAIN
(a) Taking. An appropriation or taking under the power of eminent domain of all, or a portion,
of the Property, are sometimes hereinafter called a “taking.”
(b) Total Taking of the Property. If all of the Property shall be taken this Lease shall terminate
and expire as of the date of vesting of title in, or taking of actual physical possession of the Property
by, the condemnor, and Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be released from any and all further
liability hereunder except to the extent any such liability hereunder expressly states that it shall
survive the termination of this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be entitled to participate in any
280 of 620
8
City of Evanston Lease – 860 Chicago Avenue
condemnation award so as to be compensated for the cost of relocation, removal and decrease in
value, as a result of such taking of Tenant's fixtures, equipment and stock-in-trade located in the
Property, goodwill and any other items to which Tenant is entitled under applicable law, and, the
value of the leasehold of which Tenant is being deprived for the remainder of the Term hereof so
long as any such award made to Tenant shall not reduce any award which may be obtained by
Landlord. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as a waiver by Landlord of any rights vested in
it by law to recover damages from a condemnor for the taking of its right, title, or interest in the
Property.
(c) Partial Taking.
In the event of the taking of:
(i) any portion of the Property, so that the remainder thereof is not reasonably adapted to
the continued leasing of the Property by Tenant; or
(ii) access, whether by a taking or otherwise, of the Property or a portion thereof to
adjoining thoroughfares, so that all accessibility is substantially or materially restricted and as a result
the continued leasing of the Property by Tenant will become impracticable or unprofitable in
Tenant’s sole discretion; then Tenant shall have the right to cancel and terminate this Lease as
hereinafter provided. Within ninety (90) days after receipt by Tenant from Landlord of written
notice that a condemnation action has been commenced, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord,
notify Landlord of its election to terminate this Lease, whereupon the parties shall be released from
any and all further obligations under this Lease except to the extent any such obligation hereunder is
expressly provided hereunder that the same shall survive the termination of this Lease and Tenant
shall share any award or sale price as provided in Section 12(b) hereof.
(d) Notice of Proceedings. Upon service on either party hereto of any legal process in
connection with any condemnation proceedings, the party so served shall give immediate notice
thereof to the other party hereto.
(e) Temporary Taking. In the event of a taking of the Property, or any portion thereof, for
temporary use (specifically one not exceeding one hundred twenty (120) days in duration), without
the taking of the fee simple title thereto, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except for
Tenant’s payment of Rent which shall be proportionally abated for any period during which Tenant
cannot operate its business from the Property in the same manner as prior to such temporary taking.
All awards, damages, compensation and proceeds payable by the condemnor by reason of such
taking relating to the Property, for periods prior to the expiration of the Lease shall be payable to
Tenant. All such awards, damages, compensation and proceeds for periods after the expiration of
the Lease shall be payable to Landlord.
12. UTILITIES
Tenant shall pay during the Term hereof directly to the appropriate utility company or governmental
agency all electric, water, gas, telephone and other public utility charges in connection with its
occupancy and use of the Property, including all costs of operating and maintaining all equipment
therein, all business licenses and similar permit fees but excluding any installation costs, tap fees
and/or connection fees or charges, all of which shall be paid by Landlord. All utilities shall be paid
pursuant to separate meters measuring Tenant’s consumption of utilities from the Property, which
281 of 620
9
City of Evanston Lease – 860 Chicago Avenue
meter fee shall be Landlord’s obligation at its sole cost and expense. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for damages or otherwise (i) if any utilities shall become unavailable from any public utility
company, public authority or any other person or entity supplying or distributing such utility, or (ii)
for any interruption in any utility service (including, but without limitation, any heating, ventilation
or air conditioning) caused by the making of any necessary repairs or improvements or by any cause
beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and the same shall not constitute a default, termination or an
eviction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an interruption with such utility services shall
continue for more than five (5) consecutive days, and if such interruption is not caused in part by
Tenant, and if as a result of such interruption Tenant is unable to operate in the Property and in fact
does not operate in the Property, then Rent shall abate for the entire period of interruption.
13. COVENANTS AGAINST LIENS
Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not, during the Term hereof, suffer or permit any lien to be
attached to or upon the Property or the Property by reason of any act or omission on the part of
Tenant or its agents, contractors or employees. In the event that any such lien does so attach, and
(i) is not released within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant thereof, or (ii) if Tenant has not
bonded such lien within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may pay and
discharge the same and relieve the Property or the Property therefrom, and Tenant agrees to repay
and reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord and for other reasonable
costs incurred by Landlord in discharging and relieving said lien. The Tenant will hold the Landlord
harmless from all claims, liens, claims of lien, demands, charges, encumbrances or litigation arising
out of any work or activity of Tenant on the Property. Tenant will, within sixty (60) days after filing
of any lien, fully pay and satisfy the lien and reimburse Landlord for all resulting loss and expense,
including a reasonable attorney’s fees. Provided, however, in the event that Tenant contests any lien
so filed in good faith and pursues an active defense of said lien, Tenant shall not be in default of this
paragraph. However, in the event of any final judgment against Tenant regarding such lien, Tenant
agrees to pay such judgment and satisfy such lien within 60 days of the entry of any such judgment.
14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant shall not have the right to assign this Lease, or to sublet the Property, transfer and grant
concessions or licenses (“Transfer”) in all or any part of the Property without the Landlord’s
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No
Transfer shall relieve Tenant from any of its obligations as Tenant hereunder. Every such
assignment or sublease shall recite that it is and shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of
this Lease, and the termination or cancellation of this Lease shall constitute a termination and
cancellation of every such assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees
that no merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization, or sale or transfer of Tenant's assets or
stock (specifically including any inter-family or inter-company transfers), redemption or issuance of
additional stock of any class, or assignment or sublease to any person or entity which controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, shall be deemed a Transfer hereunder.
15. NOTICES
Any notices required to be given hereunder, or which either party hereto may desire to give to the
other, shall be in writing. Such notice may be given by reputable overnight delivery service (with
proof of receipt available), personal delivery or mailing the same by United States mail, registered or

16. RIGHT TO GO UPON PROPERTY
Landlord hereby reserves the right for itself or its duly authorized agents and representatives at all
reasonable times during business hours of Tenant upon at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice
to Tenant and accompanied by a representative of Tenant (which may be the store manager or
assistant manager) to enter upon the Property for the purpose of inspecting the same and of
showing the same to any prospective purchaser or encumbrance or tenant, and for the purpose of
making any repairs which Landlord is required hereunder to make on the Property, but any such
repairs shall be made with all due dispatch during normal construction trade working hours, and in
such manner as to minimize the inconvenience to Tenant in the conduct of its business, it being
agreed that in the event of a necessity of emergency repairs to be made by Landlord, Landlord may
enter upon the Property forthwith to effect such repairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that due to an entry by or on behalf of Landlord into the Property, Tenant’s use is materially
interfered with and Tenant, from the standpoint of prudent business management, cannot open
and operate the Property for business for two (2) consecutive days, all Rent and other charges
payable by Tenant hereunder shall equitably abate commencing after such second (2 nd) day, and
continuing until such repairs are completed, unless such entry is required as a result of Tenant’s
negligence or intentional misconduct.
17. DEFAULT
(a) Tenant Default.
(i) Events of Default. Including, but not limited to, the following events shall be deemed to
be an “event of default” hereunder by Tenant subject to Tenant’s right to cure:
a. Tenant shall fail to pay any item of Rent per Section 3 at the time and place when
and where due and does not cure such failure within five (5) business days after receipt of
notice from Landlord of such failure;
b. Tenant shall fail to comply with any other term, provision, covenant or warranty
283 of 620
11
City of Evanston Lease – 860 Chicago Avenue
made under this Lease or if any of Tenant’s representations and warranties made under this
Lease are determined to be untrue, either when made or at any time during the Term, by
Tenant, and Tenant shall not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after Landlord's written
notice thereof to Tenant. In the event Tenant cannot comply with such term, provision, or
warranty, within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant is
diligently and continuously making an effort to comply with such term, provision, covenant
or warranty and Tenant completes the cure of the default; or
c. Tenant shall make a general assignment the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy.
(ii) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Landlord may, so long as such
default continues, as permitted by law and subject to Landlord’s obligation to use good faith efforts
to mitigate damages, either:
a. terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, which written notice shall
specify a date for such termination at least fifteen (15) days after the date of such written
termination notice and such termination shall be effective as provided in such written notice
unless Tenant shall cure such default within such notice period, or not terminate this Lease
as a result of the default of Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to surrender the Property upon such
termination, Landlord may thereupon, reenter the Property, or any part thereof, and expel or
remove therefrom Tenant and any other persons occupying the same, using such means
provided by law;
b. without terminating this Lease, Landlord may evict Tenant (by any means
provided by law) and let or relet the Property or any or all parts thereof for the whole or any
part of the remainder of the Term hereof, or for a period of time in excess of the remainder
of the Term hereof, and out of any rent so collected or received, Landlord shall first pay to
itself the expense of the cost of retaking and repossessing the Property and the expense of
removing all persons and property therefrom, and shall, second, pay to itself any costs or
expenses sustained in securing any new tenant or tenants (provided that such amount shall
not include any amounts incurred to restore the Property to more than the condition
originally delivered to Tenant), and shall third, pay to itself any balance remaining, and apply
the whole thereof or so much thereof as may be required toward payment of the liability of
Tenant to Landlord then or thereafter unpaid by Tenant; or
c. pursue such other remedies as are available at law or in equity.
(b) Landlord Default. Should Landlord default in the performance of any covenant, provision,
warranty, condition or agreement herein, or if any of Landlord’s representations and warranties made
under this Lease are determined to be untrue, either when made or at any time during the Term, and
such default in the case of any failure by Landlord to pay any sum required to be paid to Tenant
hereunder, continues for ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Tenant, or in case of any
non-monetary default, continues for thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice
thereof from Tenant (except as otherwise provided herein), or if the default of Landlord is of a type
which is not reasonably possible to cure within thirty (30) days, if Landlord has not commenced to
cure said default within said thirty (30) day period and does not thereafter diligently prosecute the
curing of said default to completion (except as otherwise provided herein), Tenant in addition to any
284 of 620
12
City of Evanston Lease – 860 Chicago Avenue
and all other remedies which it may have at law and/or in equity including the right to seek injunctive
relief without posting a bond or the obligation to prove irreparable harm, may pay or perform any
obligations of Landlord hereunder and deduct the cost thereof from each installment of annual Rent
payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease; provided, however, in no event shall the amount of any
such deduction exceed ten percent (10%) of the Rent payable on a monthly basis; provided, further,
Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease except as expressly permitted herein.

alterations to the Property and to revise the interior layout of the Property. Tenant shall obtain

24. GENERAL CONDITIONS

that may be asserted against the other party by any real estate broker or finder with whom the

insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or
damage to any building, structure or other tangible property, or any resulting loss of income for
property or general liability losses, even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned
by the acts or omissions of such party, its agents, contractors or employees. Landlord or Tenant
shall look exclusively to the proceeds of insurance carried by it or for its benefit in the event of any
damage or destruction to its property located on the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Landlord and Tenant hereby release and waive any and all rights of
recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against the other, or its respective directors, shareholders,

provisions of the Lease, no insurer of a party hereunder shall ever hold or be entitled to any claim,
demand or cause of action against Tenant by virtue of a claim of loss paid under any such insurance

provided pursuant to this paragraph shall not operate to the extent that they would void coverage
under the provisions of any policy of insurance.

49817532v4
or willful misconduct of Tenant, or its agents, employees or contractors; or (iii) Landlord’s breach

Lease only with respect to any damage, injury or death occurring before such expiration or earlier
termination.

(b) Total Taking of the Garage Property. If all of the Garage Property shall be taken this Lease
shall terminate and expire as of the date of vesting of title in, or taking of actual physical possession
of the Garage Property by, the condemnor, and Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be released
from any and all further liability hereunder except to the extent any such liability hereunder expressly
states that it shall survive the termination of this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be entitled to
participate in any condemnation award so as to be compensated for the cost of relocation, removal
and decrease in value, as a result of such taking of Tenant's fixtures, equipment and stock-in-trade
located in the Premises, goodwill and any other items to which Tenant is entitled under applicable
law, and, the value of the leasehold of which Tenant is being deprived for the remainder of the
Term hereof so long as any such award made to Tenant shall not reduce any award which may be
obtained by Landlord. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as a waiver by Landlord of any
rights vested in it by law to recover damages from a condemnor for the taking of its right, title, or
interest in the Garage Property.
(c) Partial Taking.
In the event of the taking of:
(i) any portion of the Garage Property, so that the remainder thereof is not reasonably
adapted to the continued leasing of the Premises by Tenant; or
(ii) access, whether by a taking or otherwise, of the Garage Property or a portion thereof to
adjoining thoroughfares, so that all accessibility is substantially or materially restricted and as a result
the continued leasing of the Garage Property by Tenant will become impracticable or unprofitable in
Tenant’s sole discretion; then Tenant shall have the right to cancel and terminate this Lease as
hereinafter provided. Within ninety (90) days after receipt by Tenant from Landlord of written
notice that a condemnation action has been commenced, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord,
306 of 620

49817532v4
notify Landlord of its election to terminate this Lease, whereupon the parties shall be released from
any and all further obligations under this Lease except to the extent any such obligation hereunder is
expressly provided hereunder that the same shall survive the termination of this Lease and Tenant
shall share any award or sale price as provided in Section 12(b) hereof.

connection with any condemnation proceedings, the party so served shall give immediate notice
thereof to the other party hereto.
(e) Temporary Taking. In the event of a taking of the Garage Property, or any portion thereof,
for temporary use (specifically one not exceeding one hundred twenty (120) days in duration),
without the taking of the fee simple title thereto, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect,
except for Tenant’s payment of Fixed Minimum Rent which shall be proportionally abated for any
period during which Tenant cannot operate its business from the Premises in the same manner as
prior to such temporary taking. All awards, damages, compensation and proceeds payable by the
condemnor by reason of such taking relating to the Premises, for periods prior to the expiration of
the Lease shall be payable to Tenant. All such awards, damages, compensation and proceeds for
periods after the expiration of the Lease shall be payable to Landlord.
(f) Lease Prevails. In the event of any taking, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be
determined by this Lease and Landlord and Tenant waive any rights at law to the contrary.
12. UTILITIES
Tenant shall pay during the Term hereof directly to the appropriate utility company or governmental
agency all electric, water, gas, telephone and other public utility charges in connection with its

therein, all business licenses and similar permit fees but excluding any installation costs, tap fees
and/or connection fees or charges, all of which shall be paid by Landlord. All utilities shall be paid
pursuant to separate meters measuring Tenant’s consumption of utilities from the Premises, which
meter fee shall be Landlord’s obligation at its sole cost and expense. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for damages or otherwise (i) if any utilities shall become unavailable from any public utility
company, public authority or any other person or entity supplying or distributing such utility, or (ii)
for any interruption in any utility service (including, but without limitation, any heating, ventilation
or air conditioning) caused by the making of any necessary repairs or improvements or by any cause
beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and the same shall not constitute a default, termination or an
eviction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an interruption with such utility services shall
continue for more than five (5) consecutive days, and if such interruption is not caused in part by
Tenant, and if as a result of such interruption Tenant is unable to operate in the Premises and in fact
does not operate in the Premises, then Fixed minimum Rent and all other rent and charges shall
abate for the entire period of interruption. Tenant assures Landlord that it shall arrange for an
adequate supply of electricity to the Premises and it shall pay for any increased voltage and any
additional wiring required addressing the increased capacity.
13. COVENANTS AGAINST LIENS
Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not, during the Term hereof, suffer or permit any lien to be
attached to or upon the Garage Property or the Premises by reason of any act or omission on the
307 of 620
10
49817532v4
part of Tenant or its agents, contractors or employees. In the event that any such lien does so
attach, and (i) is not released within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant thereof, or (ii) if Tenant
has not bonded such lien within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may pay
and discharge the same and relieve the Premises or the Garage Property therefrom, and Tenant
agrees to repay and reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord and for
other reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in discharging and relieving said lien. The Tenant will
hold the Landlord harmless from all claims, liens, claims of lien, demands, charges, encumbrances or
litigation arising out of any work or activity of Tenant on the Premises. Tenant will, within sixty (60)
days after filing of any lien, fully pay and satisfy the lien and reimburse Landlord for all resulting loss
and expense, including a reasonable attorney’s fees. Provided, howev er, in the event that Tenant
contests any lien so filed in good faith and pursues an active defense of said lien, Tenant shall not be
in default of this paragraph. However, in the event of any final judgment against Tenant regarding
such lien, Tenant agrees to pay such judgment and satisfy such lien within 60 days of the entry of
any such judgment.
14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant shall not have the right to assign this Lease, or to sublet the Premises, transfer and grant
concessions or licenses (“Transfer”) in all or any part of the Premises without the Landlord’s
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No
Transfer shall relieve Tenant from any of its obligations as Tenant hereunder. Every such
assignment or sublease shall recite that it is and shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of
this Lease, and the termination or cancellation of this Lease shall constitute a termination and
cancellation of every such assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees
that no merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization, or sale or transfer of Tenant's assets or
stock (specifically including any inter-family or inter-company transfers), redemption or issuance of
additional stock of any class, or assignment or sublease to any person or entity which controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, shall be deemed a Transfer hereunder.

assistant manager) to enter upon the Premises for the purpose of inspecting the same and of
showing the same to any prospective purchaser or encumbrance or tenant, and for the purpose of
making any repairs which Landlord is required hereunder to make on the Garage Property, but any
such repairs shall be made with all due dispatch during normal construction trade working hours,
and in such manner as to minimize the inconvenience to Tenant in the conduct of its business, it
being agreed that in the event of a necessity of emergency repairs to be made by Landlord,
Landlord may enter upon the Premises forthwith to effect such repairs. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that due to an entry by or on behalf of Landlord into the Premises, Tenant’s
use is materially interfered with and Tenant, from the standpoint of prudent business management,
cannot open and operate the Premises for business for two (2) consecutive days, all Fixed
Minimum Rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall equitably abate commencing
after such second (2nd) day, and continuing until such repairs are completed, unless such entry is
required as a result of Tenant’s negligence or intentional misconduct.

notice thereof to Tenant. In the event Tenant cannot comply with such term, provision, or
warranty, within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant is
diligently and continuously making an effort to comply with such term, provision, covenant
or warranty and Tenant completes the cure of the default; or
c. Tenant shall make a general assignment the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy.

12
49817532v4
(ii) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Landlord may, so long as such
default continues, as permitted by law and subject to Landlord’s obligation to use good faith efforts
to mitigate damages, either:
a. terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, which written notice shall
specify a date for such termination at least fifteen (15) days after the date of such written
termination notice and such termination shall be effective as provided in such written notice
unless Tenant shall cure such default within such notice period, or not terminate this Lease

remove therefrom Tenant and any other persons occupying the same, using such means
provided by law;
b. without terminating this Lease, Landlord may evict Tenant (by any means
provided by law) and let or relet the Premises or any or all parts thereof for the whole or any
part of the remainder of the Term hereof, or for a period of time in excess of the remainder
of the Term hereof, and out of any rent so collected or received, Landlord shall first pay to
itself the expense of the cost of retaking and repossessing the Premises and the expense of
removing all persons and property therefrom, and shall, second, pay to itself any costs or
expenses sustained in securing any new tenant or tenants (provided that such amount shall
not include any amounts incurred to restore the Premises to more than the condition
originally delivered to Tenant), and shall third, pay to itself any balance remaining, and apply
the whole thereof or so much thereof as may be required toward payment of the liability of
Tenant to Landlord then or thereafter unpaid by Tenant; or
c. pursue such other remedies as are available at law or in equity.
(b) Landlord Default. Should Landlord default in the performance of any covenant, provision,
warranty, condition or agreement herein, or if any of Landlord’s representations and warranties made
under this Lease are determined to be untrue, either when made or at any time during the Term, and
such default in the case of any failure by Landlord to pay any sum required to be paid to Tenant
hereunder, continues for ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Tenant, or in case of any
non-monetary default, continues for thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice
thereof from Tenant (except as otherwise provided herein), or if the default of Landlord is of a type
which is not reasonably possible to cure within thirty (30) days, if Landlord has not commenced to
cure said default within said thirty (30) day period and does not thereafter diligently prosecute the
curing of said default to completion (except as otherwise provided herein), Tenant in addition to any
and all other remedies which it may have at law and/or in equity including the right to seek injunctive
relief without posting a bond or the obligation to prove irreparable harm, may pay or perform any
obligations of Landlord hereunder and deduct the cost thereof from each installment of annual Fixed
Minimum Rent payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease; provided, however, in no event shall the
amount of any such deduction exceed ten percent (10%) of the Fixed Minimum Rent payable on a
monthly basis; provided, further, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease except as
expressly permitted herein.

acknowledges that there are limitations from the City of Evanston Municipal Code of 2012, as
amended, and the Code governs the application process and the details regarding size, type, and
number of signs and Tenant agrees to be bound by such ordinances. Landlord cannot make
representations in a lease agreement that Tenant shall be entitled additional signage, a certain
number of signs and/or dimensions of proposed signage, because the Tenant must make an

condition or delay its consent to a sign over the new entrance to the Premises which complies with
applicable laws.

For City Council meeting of July 25, 2016 Item A10
Ordinance 33-O-16, Building Energy and Water Use Benchmarking
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Kumar Jensen, Environmental Project Coordinator;
David D. Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Subject: Ordinance 33-O-16, Amending City Code Title 4 to add Chapter 22 –
Building Energy and Water Use Benchmarking Ordinance
Date: July 25, 2016
Recommended Action:
City staff along with the Utilities Commission recommends that City Council move to
adopt Ordinance 33-O-16 Building Energy and Water Use Benchmarking.
Summary:
Evanston has a longstanding history of climate action as demonstrated by the combined
efforts of the 2008 Evanston Climate Action Plan (ECAP) and the 2014 Evanston
Livability Plan. Since 2008 Evanston has seen a reduction of about 18% in community-
wide greenhouse gas emissions largely attributable to securing 100% green power
through the Community Choice Aggregation contracts. Any meaningful future reductions
in emissions will need to be driven by improvements in building efficiency and
reductions in overall building sector energy use which accounts for roughly two-thirds of
community-wide emissions.
Benchmarking is the process of tracking the energy & water consumed, over time, of an
existing building and comparing the results to similar buildings or an applicable
standard. Benchmarking is a beneficial and fiscally prudent practice for property owners
interested in controlling costs, increasing building efficiency and reducing greenhouse
gas emissions. Buildings covered by the ordinance will be required to utilize Portfolio
Manager, a free online tool administered by the U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR program. In
an analysis of 35,000 buildings utilizing U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
the EPA found that from 2008-2011buildings that used the free software to benchmark
achieved an average energy savings of 7%1. These energy savings resulted in
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions as well as decreased operating expenses for
the average building.

Memorandum
319 of 620
Attachment 1 is Ordinance 33-O-16 Building Energy and Water Use Benchmarking
Ordinance. At the March 16, 2015 City Council meeting the City Council directed the
Utilities Commission to move forward with the development of a draft building
benchmarking ordinance through an inclusive stakeholder engagement process.
Following this process the Utilities Commission worked with City staff to develop the
ordinance. Attachment 2 provides an overview of the individuals and organizations that
participated in the process. Once a draft ordinance was created staff opened a period of
public comment on the draft ordinance, details of the submitted comments can be found
in Attachment 3.
As of November, 2015, 19 states and municipalities had some version of a
benchmarking requirement for public and private buildings 2. There are numerous great
examples of successful ordinances around the country including a similar ordinance
developed by the City of Chicago and adopted in late 2013. Based on feedback
received during the stakeholder engagement process the proposed ordinance is based
on best practices from the City of Chicago in order to simplify the reporting process for
property owners with properties in both municipalities3.
Ordinance Overview
Ordinance 33-O-16 will require buildings in Evanston with 20,000 square feet and
greater, as defined by the ordinance, to comply the requirements of the ordinance. In
addition, City-owned facilities 10,000 square feet and greater will be required to comply.
Table 1 illustrates staff estimates of the number and sizes of buildings expected to
comply.

It is estimated that of the roughly 700 buildings covered by the ordinance over 120 have
already integrated benchmarking into their operations, about one fifth of all covered
buildings.

required to benchmark.
4-22-5: BENCHMARKING REQUIREMENTS.
(A) The owner of any covered building must retain all information for the previous
324 of 620
33-O-16
calendar year and input any and all descriptive information required by the
benchmarking tool into the benchmarking tool for the previous calendar year.
The owner must input this information according to the following schedule:
1. City Buildings and Type 1 Covered Buildings must provide data for the
2016 calendar year by June 30, 2017 and for every year thereafter by
every subsequent June 30;
2. Type 2 Covered Buildings must provide data for the 2017 calendar year
by June 30, 2018 and for every year thereafter by every subsequent
June 30; and
3. Type 3 Covered Buildings must provide data for the 2018 calendar year

(B) Exception. The City Manager or his/her designee may exempt from the
benchmarking requirement the owner of a covered building that submits
documentation establishing any of the following:
1. The building is presently experiencing qualifying financial distress, as
defined by any of the following: (1) the building is the subject of a
qualified tax lien sale or public auction due to property tax arrearages,
(2) the building is controlled by a court appointed receiver, or (3) the
building has been acquired by a deed in lieu of foreclosure; or
2. The building had average physical occupancy of less than fifty percent
(50%) throughout the calendar year for which benchmarking is required;
or
3. The building is a new construction and the building's certificate of

4-22-6: BUILDING DATA VERIFICATION.
(A) Data Verification. Prior to the first benchmarking deadline in City Code Section
4-22-5 and prior to each third benchmarking deadline thereafter, the owner of a
covered building must ensure that reported benchmarking information for that
year is verified by a certified professional. Such verification must be in a form of
a signed statement by a certified professional attesting to the accuracy of the
information. The owner of a covered building must produce such statement for
the most recent year in which verification of reported benchmarking information
325 of 620
33-O-16
was required upon a written request by the City Manager or his/her designee.
(B) Exception. The City Manager or his/her designee may exempt from the
verification requirement the owner of a covered building that submits
documentation establishing that compliance with this Section will cause undue
financial hardship.
4-22-7: SOLICITATION OF COMPLIANCE INFORMATION.
Within thirty (30) calendar days of a request by the building owner, each tenant of a
unit in a covered building must provide all information that cannot otherwise be
acquired by the building owner and that is necessary for the building owner to comply
with the requirements of this Chapter.
Any owner of a covered building must request such information no later than March 1
of the years in which benchmarking is required by City Code Section 4-22-5. If the
owner of a covered building receives notice that a tenant intends to vacate a unit
which is subject to the requirements of this Section, the owner must request the
information specified in this Section within ten (10) calendar days of such notice, and
the tenant must provide such information within thirty (30) calendar days of the
request.
The failure of any tenant to provide the information required under this Section to the
owner of a covered building does not relieve such owner of the obligation to
benchmark the building as provided in City Code Section 4-22-5, using all information
otherwise available to the owner.
Failure of any tenant to provide the information required under this Section to the
owner of a covered building creates a rebuttable presumption that the owner, tenant,
or both have not complied with the time limits specified in this Section.
If a tenant of a unit in a covered building fails to provide information to the owner of the
building as provided in this Section, the owner is deemed to be in compliance with City
Code Section 4-22-5 with respect to the building if: (1) the owner proves that the owner
has requested the tenant to provide such information as specified in this Section; and
(2) the owner has benchmarked the building as provided in City Code Section 4-22-5,
using all information otherwise available to the owner.
4-22-8: ENFORCEMENT.
The City Manager or his/her designee is authorized to enforce this Chapter. The City
Manager or his/her designee is also authorized to adopt rules and regulations for the
proper administration and enforcement of this Chapter.
4-22-9: NOTICE OF VIOLATION.
326 of 620
33-O-16
Whenever the City Manager or his/her designee determines that an owner fails to
meet any requirement of this Chapter, he/she must give written notice to the owner.
Such notice must include, but not limited to, stating that the owner failed to comply
with the requirements of this Chapter and that the owner has twenty (20) calendar
days to comply with the applicable requirement. The notice must be in writing and
may be served in person or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested. The notice
must provide any recipient an opportunity to file a written request for a hearing with the
City Manager or his/her designee by the owner within twenty (20) calendar days.
Failure to respond to the notice or failure to comply with the applicable requirements
requested therein constitutes a violation of this Chapter by the owner.
4-22-10: HEARINGS.
If a written request is filed within twenty (20) calendar days, an opportunity for a
hearing with the City Manager or his/her designee must be afforded within ten (10)
calendar days of receipt of the request. The hearing will be conducted by the City
Manager or his/her designee affording the owner an opportunity to appear and show
cause as to how they have complied with the provisions of this Chapter. The City
Manager or his/her designee will make a final decision in writing, including the reasons
for such decision, and will serve said decision on the owner subject to the provisions
of this Chapter within ten (10) calendar days after the conclusion of the hearing.
4-22-11: PENALTY.
Any person who violates any provision of this Chapter will be fined fifty dollars
($50.00) for each such offense. Every day a violation continues will be deemed a
separate offense.
4-22-12: SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Chapter or application thereof to any person or circumstance is
held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such invalidity must not affect other provisions
or applications of this Chapter that can be given effect without the invalid application or
provision, and each invalid provision or invalid application of this Chapter is severable.
SECTION 2: All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are
hereby repealed.
SECTION 3: If any provision of this Ordinance 33-O-16 or application
thereof to any person or circumstance is held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such
invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of this Ordinance that can be
given effect without the invalid application or provision, and each invalid application of
327 of 620
33-O-16
this Ordinance is severable.
SECTION 4: The findings and recitals contained herein are declared to
be prima facie evidence of the law of the City and will be received in evidence as
provided by the Illinois Compiled Statutes and the courts of the State of Illinois.
SECTION 5: This Ordinance 33-O-16 is in full force and effect from and
after its passage, approval, and publication in the manner provided by law.

Summary of Public Engagement to Develop Ordinance Draft
And Public Comment
Since, March, 2015 the Utilities Commission has developed an inclusive strategy to
engage stakeholders in developing a draft ordinance.
The Utilities Commission developed a core group of 19 stakeholders who met 6 times
over the course of 12 months to develop a draft ordinance. The group also then hosted
additional public meetings to update the wider community on the progress of the
ordinance development and to solicit additional feedback. The final of these sessions
was completed by City staff on Friday, July 15 th. Below staff have provided a
comprehensive account of the opportunities for public engagement in the ordinance
drafting process.

Comment #1
Breisa Grandolfo – Whole Foods Market
While we endorse Benchmarking practices -- there should be a different
qualification/category for grocery retail that should employ and work within the
constraints of funded commissioning (Grocery RCx) - which exists with COM ED as a
prescriptive rebate program. Providing energy bench marking without set point
verification and floating head strategies is simply an annual submission process that will
do nothing to truly offset usage. If the city is seriously going to help retail businesses
(grocery specific) reduce consumption, we should partner effectively with the utilities to
help offset the cost of benchmarking and partner more effectively on rebates that would
support retrofits in lighting/equipment replacement.

Tom Just – Now Residential, Inc.
I am against ordinance 33-O-16.
This is an unnecessary intrusion on the private business practices of property owners.
There is no cited requirement for energy consumption limits, and so this ordinance
effectively amounts to the City of Evanston making sure that adults eat their veggies.
The building code is a sufficient instrument to set property requirements.

I am disappointed that there seems to be an endless effort by the City of Evanston to
institute invasive and ineffectual policies relating to the construction and management of
real estate.

I would like to see the Post office on Davis street use timers or light sensors on their
outside lights. I often see the lights on when it is light outside. Also, the lights in the
parking lot on the north side of the YMCA has the same problem. Lights are on too long
in the morning and too early in the evening. Controlled by the King Home.
Comment #4
Howard Handler - North Shore - Barrington Assoc. of REALTORS | Illinois REALTORS
The North Shore – Barrington Association of REALTORS (NSBAR) and the Illinois
REALTORS – the area’s leading voices for real estate – respectfully provide the
following public comment related to the proposed Building Energy and Water Use
Benchmarking ordinance:
1. We recognize the reduction of greenhouse gasses as a necessary and laudable goal.
2. We are appreciative of the professional, inclusive structure of the benchmarking
working group, including staff member Kumar Jensen.
3. While not necessarily by design, the working group, except for Howard Handler,
Government Affairs Director for NSBAR and Illinois REALTORS, the group was
comprised entirely of benchmarking cheerleaders and was completely void of property
owners that do not currently benchmark.
4. The working group was, from its genesis, charged with creating a benchmarking
ordinance that mandates benchmarking. The working group did not, even as an
exercise, give consideration to not mandating benchmarking or any type of voluntary
program.
5. Many commercial property owners – some indications are as many as 40 percent --
already benchmark energy use. Therefore there is seemingly no market failure, and a
regulatory mandate as proposed is not needed.
6. Property owners already have an inherent incentive to increase profits by reducing
334 of 620
energy use.
7. There is zero evidence that mandatory benchmarking leads to reduced or more
efficient energy use.
8. There are already many programs and regulations, some decades old, aimed at
effectively reducing energy use.
9. The data provided is extremely limiting and does not take into account uses within
buildings that might use more energy.
10. Buildings, such as those with high energy use tenants or historical in nature, may
become stigmatized, resulting in less demand and reduced property values.
11. This ordinance will carry increased, cumbersome busy work and costs for
Evanston’s property owners.
12. This ordinance will carry increased costs for the city’s taxpayers, including staff time
and salaries.
For these reasons, the NSBAR and Illinois REALTORS, strongly urge the Evanston City
Council to reject the proposed benchmarking ordinance.

Mayor Elizabeth B. Tisdahl and the City Council
Comments on Proposed Ordinance 33-O-16 - Building Energy and Water Use
Benchmarking
July 14, 2016
To the Mayor and Aldermen,
Congratulations to the Mayor, City Council Aldermen, City Staff Members, and Public
Stakeholders in crafting a well, thought out piece of legislation to engage private
building owners in managing their building energy use. A number of cities on the coasts
of the United States have created and passed similar legislation regarding the
disclosure of public and private building energy use. The City of Evanston will join the
335 of 620
growing ranks of Midwestern city governments with the passage of this ordinance.
In my past experience, I have assisted other local and state governments to establish
similar energy and water benchmarking ordinances / initiatives. This is an important
moment for the City of Evanston to make good on the promises already made to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe). With this ordinance, the City can continue to
achieve these goals from buildings within the city boundaries - including those which are
both public and privately owned. Below are my comments regarding the City of
Evanston’s proposed Building Energy and Water Use Benchmarking Ordinance:
This Ordinance Builds upon Initiatives already Successfully Enacted
The proposed ordinance is an extension of the City’s continual goal of reducing energy
and greenhouse gas emissions from municipal and privately owned buildings. It builds
upon the legislation already passed and successful initiatives completed, including the
Evanston Green Building Ordinance and the Evanston Livability Plan. Both of these
initiatives focus mainly on new construction, where as this proposed ordinance objective
is to influence existing buildings. If passed, it will follow the full life cycle of a building’s
existence – from new to existing to remodeled and back to an occupied, in use, and
existing structure.
The Public Input Process was Robust and Open to All
As a participant in all of the community stakeholder meetings, I can assure you that
these public meetings were open to any member of the community and provided
sufficient time to gain the communities input. Large and small building owners, as well
as building professionals and other attended and provided input. The process was
helpful in crafting the proposed ordinance and the document reflects the public
comments and concerns expressed.
Many Building Owners Already Follow this Process
The idea of collecting energy and water use data is not new and is practiced by many
Building Owners. As one of the only methods to determine energy costs, continual
tracking of utility bills informs Building Owners on their building’s consumption volumes
per month. This data allows the Owners to create more accurate budgets. In return, an
informed budgeting process also helps tenants with stable rents and manageable
energy costs. This is the same data the ordinance requests Owners to track.
The Process of Data Collection Outlined will Create Useful Information
Utilizing a data verification process insures the energy consumption information
collected will be useful information the City can rely on for future decision making. Many
cities did not include the data verification process within their ordinances, and their data
336 of 620
has suffered gaps and holes. Some Cities have even made modifications to their
ordinances to help increase the usefulness of their data. Fortunately, Evanston is
following the City of Chicago by including this robust process at the beginning. The data
verification requirements outlined in the proposed ordinance are not burdensome to
building owners and can even be performed by in-house personal, thereby reducing the
cost to zero.
Publically Available Data is Good for Everyone
Bring transparency to building energy consumption data is important to the continued
GHGe reduction for the City of Evanston. Without the data becoming publically
available, the City has no means to gauge the actual energy savings achieved with City
initiatives. When Building Owners are developing a new building or addition, they can
also design to the average energy use per squarefoot within the market context .
Building Purchasers and Tenants benefit by understanding the potential energy costs of
the market prior to purchase or renting. Typically the data is aggregated to increase the
privacy of the Building Owner. When this data is available, realistic decisions and
budgets can be made prior to signing a contract.
Building Energy Benchmarking Saves Energy and Creates Jobs
A 2012 study completed by U.S. EPA confirmed that buildings which are benchmarked
using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, on average, achieve a yearly 2.4% reduction
in energy use just by benchmarking or tracking their energy use. This savings in energy,
which equates to dollars, can be even larger for lesser performing buildings or those
who have not benchmarked in the past. Building Owners may use in-house personal to
complete this task or hire outside professionals to measure their consumption values.
The proposed ordinance may even motivate Building Owners to make improvements –
thereby further reducing their GHGe emissions and creating more local jobs to complete
the upgrades. Most importantly, the proposed ordinance will help Building Owners track
their energy consumption amounts and reduce their energy costs.
This proposed ordinance includes energy and water consumption requirements which
are proven to reduce air pollution and GHG emissions. The ordinance also follows
similar language demonstrated by other major city governments to be implementable
and cost effective. I recommend the ordinance be passed in its entirety.

Re: Ordinance 33-0-16
"Amending Title 4 - Building Energy and Water Use Benchmarking Ordinance -
Ordinance Review"
Dear City Council of Evanston,
The following comments regarding the proposed Benchmarking Ordinance 33-0-16 are
made on behalf of Northwestern University's, Office of Sustainability.
Section 4-22-3:
Ordinance Definitions:
• Covered Buildings. How will the Ordinance treat buildings that are not whole building
metered, and served by a central utility plant?
• Certified Professional. Northwestern recommends updating definition to include, "the
verifier can be a building staff member, an existing contractor, a tenant/occupant of the
building or an eligible third party."
• Type 1, 2 and 3 Covered Buildings: The definition is not consistent with the
"Supplemental Information" provided. Paragraph - How Buildings will comply? Is the
City of Evanston referring to building square footage or PIN numbers for compliance?
Please clarify. The table refers to square footage and the definition in the ordinance
refers to building PIN numbers.
Section 4-22-4:
Would ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager building demographics cover basic building
characteristics referred to in the ordinance? Or, will the City require additional
information? Define basic building characteristics in the definitions section.
Section 4-22-5:
For clarification purposes, the City of Evanston is requiring calendar year data by June
30th of each year commencing 2017. Does this mean reporting energy and water
consumption from Jan-Dec 2016, and each year thereafter on June 30th of the
respective year. Is this assumption correct? please update language to clarify.
Section 4-22-6:
Required Data verification process - having a certified professional review data before
its reported to the city. Can the organization submitting data reports, verify
benchmarking data if a staff member is a certified PE or has other approved
338 of 620
credentials? For example, the City of Chicago states, "the verifier can be a building staff
member, an existing contractor, a tenant/occupant of the building or an eligible third
party." Would the city of Evanston be open to amending the language to include similar
language?
Will the city require data verification each year or every 3 years similar to Chicago's
ordinance? See language below. Would ENERGY STAR's Data Verification Checklist
meet this requirement? Also, the definition "Certified Professional" would need to be
revised, if this process is acceptable to the City of Evanston.
"As required by the City of Chicago Benchmarking ordinance, your first-year
benchmarking data must be verified by an approved verifier(“licensed professional”) in
the first year of reporting and every third year thereafter. Buildings that benchmarked,
verified, and reported for the first time in 2014 or 2015 are required only to benchmark
and report in 2016, since data verification is only required every 3 years."
Section 4-22-7:
If the organization is unable to provide building level energy data due to central utility
plant. How will the City of Evanston treat unique scenarios?
Section 4-22-11:
Additional clarification is requested. Are daily penalties per owner, per covered buildings
(type 1, 2, or 3), or per individual buildings not benchmarked?
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Alison Lindburg – Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance
Dear City Council Members,
MEEA wishes to congratulate City Staff, the Utilities Commission, the Environment
Board, Citizens' Greener Evanston and other city stakeholders in crafting a well,
thought-out piece of legislation to engage private building owners in managing their
building energy use.
MEEA has been working with the City of Evanston over the last few years by providing
technical assistance on benchmarking policies and practices. Based on national
statistics and our own work with communities in our thirteen-state region, mandatory
benchmarking policies have proven to be a crucial first step to achieving energy
savings.
We appreciate the dedication, transparency and public engagement of the City to
ensure that this policy works best for Evanston, and we believe that it will help move
building energy efficiency forward while saving money for its citizens.
MEEA urges support of this benchmarking ordinance and looks forward to the next
phase in Evanston’s energy efficiency story.
Sincerely,
Alison Lindburg

Attachment 4
Explanation of Technical Components of Ordinance
Updated on 7/15/16
This document was prepared by City staff to provide key components and supplemental information
about the proposed Building Energy and Water Use Benchmarking Ordinance.
What is Benchmarking?
The process of tracking the energy & water consumed, over time, of an existing building and comparing
the results to similar buildings or an applicable standard.
Section 4-22-1 & 4-22-2: Short Title and Purpose
The purpose of this Chapter is to promote the public health, safety and welfare by requiring certain
buildings within the City of Evanston to track and disclose building energy and water consumption in
order to promote energy conservation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve overall
environmental quality.
Section 4-22-3: Definitions
In this section the ordinance explains the terms used throughout the ordinance. Key definitions include
Benchmarking Tool, Certified Professional, Benchmarking Information and Covered Buildings.
- Benchmarking Tool - the ordinance proposes having covered buildings utilize the free online
software, administered by the EPA, Portfolio Manager for data tracking and reporting. ENERGY
STAR Portfolio Manager allows property owners to upload and track their building performance
and will allow the City to directly request data through Portfolio Manager, avoiding the less secure
process of exchange Excel documents.
- Certified Professional refers to a person who is deemed to have sufficient experience and
competence in the field of building energy efficiency and operations as to be able to provide data
verification services for a covered building.
- Benchmarking Information indicates what data points all covered buildings will be required track
and report to the City through the benchmarking process.
- Covered Buildings are all buildings that are required to comply with the ordinance. See Table 1
for details on building size thresholds and compliance and verification timelines.
Section 4-22-4: Building Performance Disclosure
The City will request specific data points related to energy and water use and basic building
characteristics to have reported. The City will then analyze the data and provide individualized reports to
each building to assist them in understanding how their performance compares to other local/similar
types of buildings. The aggregated data will also be used as a component to future greenhouse gas
emissions inventories and climate action planning which will be made public. The City will also make
public (disclose) building performance information for each building, for each year of compliance, except
the first year a building is required to comply.
Section 4-22-5: Benchmarking Requirements
342 of 620
Page | 2
Under the proposed ordinance property owners are required to track, input (benchmark) and report
whole building utility performance data using the free ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager online platform.
See Table 1. for the proposed compliance and reporting timeline for Covered Buildings. Building utility
performance data includes building gross square footage, energy performance metrics provided by
ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and other information relevant to building utility performance.
Section 4-22-6: Building Data Verification
Data verification is the process of having a certified professional with energy management experience
review data for properties before that data is reported to the City. Data verification is a key component to
ensuring reported data is accurate. Accurate data helps both the property and the City better understand
how properties are performing and take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Section 4-22-7: Solicitation of Compliance Information
The City will work with each individual utility to develop, if one does not already exist, a process by which
covered buildings can request aggregated whole building level utility data from each utility. These
processes will be the preferred method for property owners to obtain building level energy data. In the
event data is not able to be requested from a utility a building owner would have to request data from
tenants.
Section 4-22-8 through 4-22-11: Enforcement
These sections refer specifically to the penalties for noncompliance. The goal of the ordinance is to
achieve a high compliance rate and not fine buildings. The City is not looking to this ordinance as a
potential revenue maker the City is much more interested in the ordinance supporting community-wide
greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Re: 33-O-16 Building Energy Use and Water Benchmarking
To Whom It May Concern:
Elevate Energy is pleased to offer this letter of support for proposed ordinance number 33-O-16
Building Energy Use and Water Benchmarking that will require specific building owners to report
energy and water consumption. This effort will mark Evanston’s first step in proactively working with
existing buildings to collectively reduce their energy and water consumption, thereby contributing to
citywide goals adopted in the Evanston Livability Plan.
Elevate Energy is a mission-based organization dedicated to promoting smarter energy use for all. We
design and implement efficiency programs that lower costs, protect the environment, and ensure the
benefits of energy efficiency reach those who need them the most. Our work in the public sector
includes policy development and implementation, as well as community-scale energy, climate and
sustainability planning. Elevate has assisted the Working Group committee over the past year in various
aspects including understanding elements of benchmarking ordinances in other communities.
Evanston is a proven leader in sustainability across the Chicago metropolitan region, and consideration
of this ordinance is further evidence of the City’s approach to encouraging communitywide participation
in reaching its climate and sustainability goals. We view it as a natural next step in the City’s progression
from involving new construction buildings to now include the involvement of large-footprint existing
buildings. This ordinance will assist building owners in pinpointing opportunities for reducing
consumption (and thus costs), while aiding the City in identifying trends and where to target resources
that benefit building owners the most.
We appreciate the opportunity to support this ordinance, and look forward to seeing it come to fruition.

Evanston, IL 60201
Subj: Building Energy Use Benchmarking Ordinance
Dear Council Members,
On behalf of the U.S. Green Building Council–Illinois Chapter
(USGBC-Illinois), I am writing in full support of the City of
Evanston’s energy use benchmarking and disclosure ordinance.
USGBC-Illinois is membership driven non-profit that strives to
promote green buildings and sustainable communities for all.
Our members represent the entire spectrum of Illinois’
sustainable building community, from real estate professionals,
architects, engineers, designers and trade associations to
contractors, product manufacturers, homebuilders and
homeowners. Working together, they provide the education and
advocacy necessary to make the design, construction, operation
and maintenance of buildings more sustainable and prosperous.
Energy efficiency in existing buildings is a key priority for
USGBC-Illinois and the individuals and companies who
comprise our community. Our organization focuses on ways to
increase building energy efficiency for two reasons. First, the
construction, renovation and operation of buildings is the largest
single source of energy use in the U.S., and second, because
improving building operations benefits the people who live, work
or learn within the building by providing a healthier, more
productive, and comfortable environment. Benchmarking
ordinances are a proven way to create opportunities to save
money and energy while making the interior space more
productive for its inhabitants simply by understanding the ways
in which buildings use energy.
The proposed energy benchmarking ordinance being
considering will provide the market – current and prospective
building owners, operators, and tenants – with information about
building energy performance. It will encourage building owners
and tenants to learn about their energy use and work together to
lower their costs. Evanston is well-positioned to take advantage
348 of 620
Page 2 of 2
of the experience of the City of Chicago and other cities that have implemented similar
policies already, and to create a program that works best for Evanston’s buildings and
environment.
To complement your proposed energy benchmarking and disclosure ordinance, we are
pleased to be part of a coalition of leading energy, environmental, and real estate
organizations that have helped support pro-bono and low-cost energy benchmarking
certification and trainings to qualifying building owners. As an example, our coalition was
able assist the City of Chicago in implementing energy benchmarking by providing
training classes and connections to the right professional help for building owners, as
well as office hours for general help on a walk-in basis. These services help ensure the
successful adoption and compliance rates for new benchmarking ordinances.
Verification of energy data by a credentialed professional is important for consistency of
data and also often appreciated by building owners. USGBC-Illinois recommends that
the City of Evanston consider adopting the same or similar credential standards for
verifiers used by the City of Chicago. These are:
Professional Engineer (State of IL)
Licensed Architect (State of IL)
Building Operator Certification Level I (Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance)
Building Energy Technology Certificate (City Colleges of Chicago)
Certified Energy Manager (Assoc of Energy Engineers)
Building Energy Assessment Professional (Am. Society of Htng, Refrig. and Air-
Cond. Engineers)
Facility Engineering Technology Course 220 (IUOE Local 399 and Triton
College)
We celebrate the City of Evanston’s work and focus on the promise of energy
benchmarking, and we still ready to help you and the city staff with successful
implementation!
Sincerely,
Brian Imus
Executive Director

For City Council Meeting of July 25 , 2016 Item A11
Ordinance 66-O-16, Revising Title 3, Chapter 17 Taxicabs
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: W. Grant Farrar, Corporation Counsel
Subject: Ordinance 66-O-16, Revising Title 3, Chapter 17 regarding Taxicabs and
Motor Vehicles for Hire
Date: July 25, 2016
Recommended Action:
City staff recommends City Council adopt Ordinance 66-O-16, revising Title 3 of the
Evanston City Code regarding taxis and other motor vehicles for hire.
Summary:
Staff convened several meetings with taxi industry representatives during 2016.
License holders strongly supported revising taxi vehicle requirements and eliminating
license fees. There are approximately 60% fewer licensed Evanston drivers in calendar
year 2016 compared to 2013.
At the May 9, 2016 and June 13 APW Committee meetings, staff was directed to
substantially revise and amend regulations which implicated taxicabs and which also
affect “Transportation Network Providers” (TNP’s) such as Uber and Lyft. TNP’s allow
users to arrange and pay for rides provided by independent drivers often driving a
personal vehicle. These independent drivers include taxi drivers who use registered
cabs, and part or full time drivers who use a personal vehicle.
Taxi Operational Costs, Current City Code and Current City Taxicab License Holders
As explained by taxi owners and drivers, their businesses encounter a series of
regulatory and operational costs, which they seek to remove in their entirety. These
costs, which are typically shared between the taxi vehicle license holder and the taxi
driver, are outlined below as approximations:
•Costs to set up and purchase a taxi: $11,600 - $15,600
•Costs to operate a taxi: $4,400 - $5,100 / year
•Costs to maintain/renew a City taxi vehicle license: $250 - $410 / year
•Costs to register for a chauffeur license: $200 - $290
•Costs to maintain a chauffeur license: $100 - $180 / year
Memorandum
350 of 620
Taxicab regulations were first enacted by the City Council in 1978, with the last
substantive amendments and revisions enacted in the mid-1990’s. As indicated in prior
briefings to the APW Committee, the City’s taxicab regulations have not kept pace with
marketplace or technology developments. There is an applied cap of 140 City licensed
taxicabs. This cap is unchanged since 1978. The owners/drivers of these cabs are
colloquially known as “medallion holders”.
The majority of medallion holders reside outside of Evanston, and many hold more than
one medallion.
Evanston 7 owners – 19 medallions
Skokie 15 owners – 54 medallions
Chicago 9 owners – 19 medallions
Lincolnwood 3 owners
Mt. Prospect 2 owners
Bartlett, Buffalo Grove, Des Plaines, Glenview, Northbrook, Oswego, Waukegan, and
Wheeling each have one owner.
These individual owners typically affiliate with 2 companies for dispatching, etc:

The suggested Code revision provides that all taxicabs soliciting business in the
corporate limits of the City register annually with the City Manager, and maintain proof
of current registration in a readily observable location on the taxicab.
However, there is no annual fee required for registration, and prior costs
associated with inspections and licensing are removed. This is responsive to the
taxi industry’s request for deregulation and operational cost reductions.
City of Evanston Subsidized Taxi Program
The City of Evanston utilizes taxis to deliver the City’s subsidized taxi program. Eligible
Evanston residents can purchase subsidized taxi coupons at the price of $3 for taxi
rides within Evanston. This fare was last amended by ordinance in 2008. The program
provides on-demand transportation services for Evanston’s residents who are over the
age of 80; or Evanston residents who are income-eligible and either over the age of 65
or are an individual with an ambulatory disability. Taxi drivers are reimbursed by the
City for each validated coupon. The taxi coupon program saw an approximately 30%
reduction in trips taken in 2015 from the program’s peak in 2014; in 2015 less than
24,000 trips were taken while in 2014 the program saw over 34,800 trips. A graph
outlining the number of redeemed taxi coupons from 2013 to 2016 is attached to the
end of this memo.
The proposed revisions maintain this program, but the total rate increases from $6.00 to
$10.00. A modest increase in the coupon price from $3.00 payable by participant
passengers, to $4.00, is intended to permit expanded use of the program for addresses
in Skokie, Wilmette and Lincolnwood.

Summary of Other Revisions
The revisions take 18 current pages of City Code and condense it to 4 pages. The
revision removes the longstanding code language which prohibits City licensed taxicabs
from operating in another jurisdiction for purposes of soliciting fares.
The revisions maintain a registration requirement for taxicabs soliciting business in
Evanston, but remove all City mandated fees and payments. The definitions section is
revised to conform to the definitions in the Illinois Vehicle Code. Section 3-17-2
concerning compliance expands the old code language.
The City equally mandates all drivers, taxicab providers, motor vehicle for hire
providers, and transportation network providers comply with all state of Illinois
requirements regarding liability insurance and proof of financial responsibility.
The City of Evanston currently duplicates state regulations in almost all substantive
areas, and this duplication is proposed to be removed. The Illinois Secretary of State
already regulates taxis through issuing registration plates for taxis. Taxicabs must take
and pass the Illinois “safety test” mandated in the Illinois Vehicle Code and also
maintain liability insurance. The revisions remove unnecessary prohibitive language
concerning license fees, license transfer penalties, and inspections.
Every motor vehicle operating within the City which is required to comply with the Illinois
Vehicle Code, 625 ILCS 625 5/13-101, must submit to the state of Illinois “safety test”
and secure a certificate of safety from the state.
The proposed revisions add new language mandating all taxicab drivers, motor vehicle
for hire drivers, and transportation network vehicle drivers comply with all applicable
laws regarding non-discrimination against passengers or potential passengers on the
basis of destination, race, color, national origin, religious belief or affiliation, sex,
disability, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
The State of Illinois’ Transportation Network Providers Act (TNP Act) defines TNPs,
TNP drivers, TNP periods and automobile liability insurance requirements. The TNP Act
requires that TNP driver applications include personal information, driver license
information, driving history, motor vehicle registration, and automobile liability insurance.
The proposed ordinance codifies the requirement that all TNP’s operating in Evanston
comply with this state statute. TNP’s would be prohibited from operating in taxicab
stands or motor vehicle for hire loading zones.
Impact of TNPs on the Taxi Industry
The emergence of TNPs are closely tied to changes in taxi services and the number of
eligible taxi drivers. In addition to the impact on taxi service, the arrival of TNPs also
correlated with a decreasing number of chauffeur licenses in Evanston and thus eligible
taxi drivers. From 2010 to 2013 the number of licensed chauffeur drivers remained
relatively stable with 366 drivers in 2010 to 337 in 2013. With the arrival of Uber and
Lyft in late 2013, the number of licensed chauffeur drivers decreased significantly to 267
in 2014 and 208 in 2015. As of April 2016 there are 99 issued chauffeur driver licenses;
historically, the City would expect to have around 150 to 160 issued chauffeur driver
licenses by late spring.

CALL TO ORDER
The Local Liquor Control Commissioner Elizabeth Tisdahl called the meeting to order at
11:30 a.m.
NEW BUSINESS
The Barn Investment, LLC d/b/a The Barn, 1016 Church Street, Evanston, IL 60201
Amy Morton (Owner), requested approval of a Class D liquor license
(Restaurant/liquor). The restaurant is an 1883 horse stable that has not been in use for
over 100 years. The menu will be meat-centric and feature a lot of proteins. The food is
farm-to-table. It’s theme and menu is intentionally different from her other restaurant,
Found. The Barn’s décor will be structural, simple and masculine. The target opening
date is September 2016. Mayor Tisdahl asked for clarification of what types or varieties
of alcohol will be served. Amy Morton responded that all types (beer, wine and spirits)
will be sold.
Board members reviewed the application in advance of the meeting and found it all in
order. The Local Liquor Control Commissioner asked the members if there were any
concerns over the request. None were voiced. The Board recommended issuing a
Liquor License to be introduced at the City Council meeting on July 11, 2016.
Dil foods, Inc., dba Shell Gas Station, 2494 Oakton Ave
Minhaz Lakhani (ML), owner of Shell Gas Station, requested approval of an amendment
to Class O to allow alcohol sales between 6am and 2 am. Class O currently allows for
sales between 8am and Midnight. Mayor Tisdahl asked why he wants to sell alcohol at
6am. ML responded that many customers have asked for earlier sale hours, especially
landscapers. ML would like the later sale hours to go along with the 24 hr. subway he
also owns and operates. Competition from Food 4 Less is hurting his business. He
381 of 620
Page 2 of 3
thinks the extended sale hours will help his business succeed. Mayor Tisdahl asked
Mario Treto if any other license class is allowed to sell packaged goods at the proposed
hours. Mario Treto responded that packaged goods stores are limited to sales between
8am to Midnight. Theresa Whittington noted that Shell is the only Class O but that other
packaged goods stores, licensed under different license classes, might eventually seek
the same hours. Marion Macbeth expressed concern over the request and didn’t
understand why landscapers would need to buy beer before work. Dick Peach
questioned how much beer would sell at 6am. ML explained that the landscapers begin
work early, before 8 am. He loses their gas business because they go elsewhere.
Mayor Tisdahl said she had less of a problem with the 2am request. Marion Macbeth
questioned who would want contractors getting beer at 6am in the morning before
coming to ones house to perform work. Dick Peach thinks the new hours will set a bad
precedent and that the other packaged goods stores will also request extended hours.
He also pointed out that, if this happens, Shell will lose any short-lived competitive edge
it might have gained. Marion Macbeth and Dick Peach didn’t mind the 2am but are very
much against 6am. Aldermen Anny Rainey has a bigger issue with 2am than 6am. She
noted that this Shell is already open 24 hours a day. She also noted how well the
business is maintained. Alderman Rainey stated that the business is located far away
from residential areas. Alderman Rainey clarified the landscapers request for beer in the
morning. She explained that the landscapers have coolers on their trucks and they load
up the coolers with food and drink for the entire day. They want the beer available for
the end of their work day – not during the day. She doesn’t have a problem with 2am
but she has less of a problem wi th the 6am request.
Mayor Tisdahl proposes trying out sales until 2 a.m. and monitoring for any issues. The
amendment for 6am sales can be revisited in 6 months to a year. Board members
agreed. The Board recommended an amendment to Class O to allow sales between 8
a.m. and 2 a.m. to be introduced at the City Council meeting on July 11, 2016.
E-Country, LLC d/b/a Union Squared Evanston, 1307 Chicago Avenue
Heather Behm (Co-Owner), requested approval of a Class D liquor license
(Restaurant/liquor). Same owners as Union Pizzeria are opening a Detroit-style pizza
place called Union Squared. Detroit-style pizza is light fluffy, focaccia style dough. They
look forward to bringing something new to Evanston.
Board members reviewed the application in advance of the meeting and found it all in
order. The Local Liquor Control Commissioner asked the members if there were any
concerns over the request. None were voiced. The Board recommended issuing a
Liquor License to be introduced at the City Council meeting on July 11, 2016.
Stained Glass, Ltd d/b/a The Stained Glass, 1316 Maple Ave, Evanston, IL 60201
Board discussed the purchase agreement/change of ownership to Kevin O’Malley.
Board members reviewed the application materials in advance of the meeting and found
it all in order. The Local Liquor Control Commissioner asked the members if there were
any concerns over the change in ownership. None were voiced. No further action is
required.

Pesticide Usage on City Property
For Discussion
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration & Public Works Committee
From: David Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Paul D’Agostino, Environmental Services Bureau Chief
Subject: Pesticide Usage on City Property
Date: July 19, 2016
Recommended Action:
Staff supports continued limited use of certain pesticides by staff on specific sites.
Background:
Since 2010, City of Evanston staff has complied with our Integrated Pest Management
policy adopted by resolution. This policy is geared to using sustainable pest control as
well as pesticide reduction. Since the adoption of this policy, staff has reduced the use
of pesticides by over 50%.
The current practice of pesticide applications comply with all State regulations issued by
the Department of Agriculture. All staff that apply any pesticides are licensed by the
State as Certified Operators or Applicators, including the Bureau Chief and Greenways
Supervisor. All sites are clearly posted once a pesticide is applied, and all personal
protective equipment is used and inspected regularly.
Beginning earlier this year, we have ceased using any pesticides at any of the lakefront
parks. Our current uses of pesticides include the application of a non-selective herbicide
with a backpack sprayer to spot treat hard to maintain areas that are also not typically
frequented by park users. These include sidewalk cracks, fence lines, shrub beds, and
the bases of sign posts. This product contains Glyphosate, which is the same active
ingredient as Roundup. We normally treat these areas twice a year so that we eliminate
the need to use a string trimmer every week. Staff also applies a pre-emergent granular
herbicide to larger shrub beds to prevent weed seeds from sprouting in the early spring.
These practices save an enormous amount of time for the maintenance crews so they
can perform other maintenance work rather than hand pulling or cutting weeds during
the summer months. The remaining non-selective herbicide is Garlon, which we only
apply by brush to the stumps of invasive trees and shrubs when we clear them from our
natural areas.
Memorandum
412 of 620
We also use selected fungicides and insecticides when needed to maintain the health of
the roses in the Merrick Rose Garden. If we did not apply these, most of the roses
would not survive for very long, as some of the varieties are highly susceptible to black
spot and many types of insects. Additionally, we use aquatic chemicals such as
algaecides, dyes and sludge metabolizers to keep the ponds at Lovelace Park and
Dawes Park as clear as possible, but these products have a very low toxicity level and
are all safe to use when fish are present.
For our Elm inoculation program, we use an injectable fungicide to treat all the public
Elms once every three years. The product is injected directly into the base of the tree’s
trunk, so there is very little chance for exposure to anyone.
Lastly, on occasion when an athletic field needs to renovated due to poor turf
conditions, we may hire an outside vendor to apply selective herbicides to the field so
that staff can reseed it with turf grass. The specific products used are determined on a
case by case basis, and depend on the specific weeds present, and whether there are
other insect or disease problems present on a given field. We tailor these applications
so that the only products applied are those that are necessary to address the actual
problems with the individual field. We require the contractor to follow all State
regulations and only proceed with this work when weather conditions are appropriate.

Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 47-O-16 for approval of the Planned
Development with rezoning from C2 Commercial to D4-Downtown Transition and a
Special Use for Independent and Assisted Living units. The 10-story 163-unit
residential building would consist of 102 independent and assisted living dwelling
units, 31 Assisted Living units for residents with cognitive impairment, 30 memory
care units and contain 67 parking spaces on site. The development includes one site
development allowance for 102 dwelling units where a maximum 84 are allowed in
the D4 zoning district.
For Introduction
Ald. Rainey moved to introduce Ordinance 47-O-16, seconded by Ald. Wilson.
Michael McClean, developer, described changes to the project since the Plan
Commission hearing. Mr. McClean stated that the gross height of the development
has been decreased from 158 to 128 feet and the FAR has been decreased, resulting
in a 20,000 SF reduction in square footage. Units have been changed to
accommodate primarily assisted living residents (33 independent living units, 100
assisted living, 30 memory care units – 27% drop in independent dwelling units
proposed). Employees at the building will be incentivized to take alternative modes of
transportation and they will provide employees with a service bus and/or PACE bus
passes. The proposal includes numerous right-of-way improvements including high-
visibility crosswalks, count-down timers, bicycle parking, and public art installations.
There will be the equivalent of 6 affordable housing units in the development, two on-
site affordable units and a $400,000 contribution to the Affordable Housing Fund.
Ryan Housekeeper, with Ridgeline Management, the operator, stated that the
management company focuses on resident care to maximize their daily
independence. He stated that the management company wants to locate in
Evanston due to its overall accessibility and proximity to Northwestern University.
Neighbors of the Planned Development (1800 and 1830 Homeowners Associations),
represented by Dan Shapiro, stated that the Plan Commission has not seen the
aforementioned changes made to the proposal. Mr. Shapiro expressed that the
neighbors have concerns over the development’s compatibility with the surrounding
area, 2009 Downtown Plan, and compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Schapiro
417 of 620
Planning & Development Committee Meeting Page 3 of 4
Minutes of July 11, 2016
believes the project proposal offers amenities that fall under the “sheltered care”
definition of the Municipal Code and would not be permitted in the D4 zoning district.
At Ald. Fiske’s request, Mr. McClean stated that the mix of unit types changed in
response to the community’s concerns over building height and density.
At Ald. Fiske’s inquiry, Planning and Zoning Administrator Damir Latinovic said that
based on services to be provided, this facility would not be classified as a sheltered
care home, but rather as an assisted living facility. This also matches how State
classifies the facility.
Mr. McClean explained there is no possibility of this facility functioning as a sheltered
care facility because the resident of a sheltered care facility would require different
services. He stated it would be illegal for residents in need of sheltered care to live in
the proposed facility under a state assisted living facility license.
(Ald. Tendam arrived during P3)
Four residents expressed concerns over compatibility with the Downtown Plan,
Zoning Ordinance, firefighting logistics, financial success of project, memory care
services, and density.
At Ald. Revelle’s request, Mr. McClean stated that all residents are put through a
health screening.
Ald. Revelle asked how many residents are likely to stay mostly within the facility and
how many are likely to venture out of the facility and Mr. Housekeeper responded that
there will be a community bus for residents to use.
Ald. Revelle inquired if the management company has any relationships with sister
properties if residents need to be relocated.
Mr. Housekeeper replied that there will be relationships built with other facilities in the
area to provide different options for residents if necessary.
At Ald. Wilson’s request, Mr. Housekeeper stated that proposed units would start
around $3,950/month for independent units, $5,000 for assisted living units and
$7,000 for memory care units.
The committee voted 4-1 to introduce Ordinance 47-O-16, with Ald. Fiske
dissenting.

For City Council meeting of July 25, 2016 Item P1
Ordinance 42-O-16, Application for Major Zoning Relief for Setbacks for Outdoor
Storage Units & Reduction in Open Parking at 2020 Greenwood Street
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Mark Muenzer, Director of Community Development
Damir Latinovic, Planning and Zoning Administrator
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner
Subject: Ordinance 42-O-16, Granting Major Zoning Relief for Setbacks for Outdoor
Storage Units & Reduction in Open Parking at 2020 Greenwood Street
Date: July 13, 2016
Recommended Action
The Zoning Board of Appeals and City staff recommend approval of Ordinance 42-O-16
granting major zoning relief for a 2’ east interior side yard setback for self-storage units
where 8’ is required, a 2’ south interior side yard setback for self-storage units where 8’ is
required, and a decrease of on-site parking by 22 spaces where an increase of 3 parking
spaces is required for a total of 10 parking spaces on site, where 82 parking spaces are
required and 32 parking spaces currently exist. The applicant has complied with all other
zoning requirements, and meets the standards for variations.
As requested by the Zoning Board of Appeals, staff conducted a parking study to
determine feasible options that may improve the on-street parking on Greenwood Street
between Dodge and Hartrey Avenues. Details of the parking study findings are
summarized below and the full study and memorandum from the Parking Division is
attached.
Background
2020 Greenwood Street is located on the south side of Greenwood Street, midblock
between Dodge Avenue and Hartrey Avenue, in the I2 General Industrial District, and is
surrounded by single- and two-family residences to the north, industrial and commercial
uses to the east and south, and multifamily live-work units to the west. The property
currently features a storage facility with 787 indoor storage units with approximately
90,000 square feet of storage space. The property features a surface parking lot east of
the building with 32 parking spaces and four loading spaces. Chicago Northside Storage
began operations in July 2015, and is currently 11% occupied. The facility is open via key
Memorandum
420 of 620
code to storage customers 7 days a week from 6 am to 10 pm. The office hours are 10
am - 6 pm Monday-Friday and 10 am- 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.
Proposal
The applicant proposes to install a total of 25 portable outdoor self-storage units within
the existing parking lot. The applicant proposes to install four 10’x10’ units in the north
east corner of the property, 16 10’ x 20’ units along the east property line and five 10’ x
20’ units along the south property line. The units are located 2 feet from the east and
south property lines where a minimum 8’ setback is required by Code.
The installation of the 25 self-storage units results in the increase in the total number of
required parking spaces from 79 to 82 parking spaces. However, the proposed storage
units will be located within the existing parking lot and will result in the net loss from 32 to
10 on-site parking spaces. The existing four loading spaces remain.
The zoning variations requested are summarized in the table below:
2020 Greenwood Street Required Existing Proposed
East Side Yard Setback 8 ft. N/A 2 ft.
South Side Yard Setback 8 ft. N/A 2 ft.
Parking Requirement 82 spaces 32 spaces 10 spaces
The applicant believes the new self-serve storage units are necessary because they will
provide storage that is accessible by private vehicles that can pull right up to the units 24
hours a day. Customers renting those units will use key fobs to access the fenced in
parking lot area.
The applicant initially proposed to install the new outdoor storage units on the west side of
the building to replace the existing green space. However, following a negative
recommendation from the Design and Project Review Committee as well as objections
from several residents in the area, the applicant revised his proposal and now proposes
to install the units within the existing parking lot. The applicant held a neighborhood
meeting that one neighbor attended who later spoke in support of the project at the ZBA
hearing.
Following the recommendation of the DAPR Committee, the applicant agreed to extend
the public sidewalk along Greenwood Street for the entire length of the property, subject
to the relocation of a ComEd utility pole and utility box, and to add landscape screening
along the east and west sides of the gated entrance.
421 of 620
Proposed Site Plan (east portion of property)
Parking Study:
Per the recommendation of ZBA a parking study was conducted by staff to collect data on
the usage of street parking on Greenleaf Street between Dodge and Hartrey Avenues.
The study was done to determine what modifications could be made to increase the
availability of on-street parking in the area. Based on the data and recommendation from
parking division staff (attached), the following modifications could be made on the block:
422 of 620
• Change up to five existing angled parking spaces to 2-hour restricted parking to
encourage parking turnover and availability for customers of businesses on
Greenwood Street.
• Change existing parallel parking spaces between Hartrey and Grey to angled
parking spaces which will accommodate approximately 12 additional parking
spaces.
• Allow unrestricted parking on the north side of Greenwood Street between Brown
and Dodge Avenues where parking is currently prohibited (due to semi-truck
loading at 1900 Dodge that is no longer necessary per the property owner).
Each option will increase the availability of on-street parking, but may not be palatable to
adjacent property owners. Each option should be further explored with impacted
neighbors before any changes to on-street parking shall occur.
Legislative History
April 5, 2016: The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended unanimous approval of the
major zoning relief with the following conditions:
1. The applicant must extend the front sidewalk near the gated entry, subject
to the relocation of the poles by ComEd that are deemed obstructions.
2. The applicant must add a landscaping buffer on the east and west sides of
the gated entry.
3. If the City receives complaints arising from the applicant’s 24-hours of
operation, the applicant must appear before the DAPR Committee, where
DAPR is authorized to modify the business’s hours of operation.
4. The variation approval is subject to the self-storage business only.
5. The storage units must remain portable and may not be affixed to the
ground.
6. The proposal must be in substantial compliance with the documents and
testimony on record.

To: Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner
From: Rickey A. Voss, Parking/Fleet Manager
Subject: Parking 2020 Greenwood Street
Date: July 11, 2016
Summary:
As requested parking staff conducted a parking survey to determine if the area was
substantially impacted by parking in regards to students and employees of the various
businesses. The survey was conducted from April 18 through April 22, 2016 from 8am
to 6pm. (See attachment)
The average occupancy rate indicates that the area at times is severely impacted. Staff
captured 130 captured different license plates during the survey period. However other
than 38 vehicles identified as either area residents or employees of businesses on
Greenwood Street, there is no indication as to why the other 92 registered plates are
parked in the area. It will have to be assumed that they were in the area as visitors of
the businesses or residents and could include students of the High School. I visited the
area just after the High School dismissed class es and I observed a number of students
either walking to being dropped off in the area to pick up parked vehicles. A
conservative estimate of the number student parkers was 10% or 13 vehicles.
Based on the observations and survey results the following is a list of recommendations
to be considered. All recommendations are subject to approval of the Traffic Engineer,
ADA requirements, traffic flow, residents and businesses of the area and elected
officials.
Establish no more the five (5) two hour restricted parking spaces.
Memorandum

New Business
2020 Greenwood Street ZBA 16ZMJV-0013
John Cooper, property owner, applies for major zoning relief to add self-service storage units
where open parking currently exists at Chicago Northside Storage in the I2 General Industrial
District. The applicant requests a 2’ east interior side yard setback for self -storage units where
8’ is required (Zoning Code Section 6-14-3-6-C), and a 0’ south interior side yard setback for
self-storage units where 8’ is required (Zoning Code Section 6-14-3-6-C). The applicant also
requests to decrease the open parking by 22 spaces where an increase of 3 parking spaces is
required and 32 parking spaces currently exist, for a total of 10 parking spaces where 82
parking spaces are required (Zoning Code Section 6-16-3-5). The Zoning Board of Appeals
makes a recommendation to City Council, the determining body for this case.
On March 30, 2016, the applicant submitted revised plans and now requests a 2’ south interior
side yard setback (instead of 0’setback as originally proposed) for self-storage units where 8’ is
required (Zoning Code Section 6-14-3-6-C). All other variation requests remain.
Ms. Klotz read the case into the record.
David Meek, attorney, and John Cooper, property owner, explained the proposal:
Previously proposed storage units on west side of property but was discouraged by staff
and neighbors due to loss of greenspace.
Now request to locate the units on the east side of the property.
Outdoor units will allow for 24 hour access and the ability to drive right up to the units,
which is useful to customers such as contractors.
Reduced setbacks allow for easier vehicle maneuvering within the lot.
Units are not permanent structures, so they can be easily removed to restore the
parking.
Request to have 10 parking spaces total and two loading bays on the east side of the
building.
Loading bays do not count in the parking requirement, but they are essentially used as
parking spaces.
For outdoor units, customers will park in front of the units to load/unload rather than park
in actual striped parking spaces.

Zoning Board of Appeals
Self-storage facilities need very little parking: ie. A facility with 800-1000 units needs 11-
16 parking spaces as an industry standard.
5 other facilities in the area that are similar in size have 10 or less parking spaces.
There is also street parking available, though it is not needed for this use (but customers
could park there).
Other facilities in the area that have 1,000 units average 4.5 vehicle trips per hour on
average.
Traffic count for this location (which is currently 11% occupied) is a maximum of 3
vehicles per hour (which occurred 2x in 100 days), and 8 instances of 2 vehicles per
hour. All other times saw a maximum of 1 vehicle per hour.
Most customers are on site for approximately 3 hours for the initial load, then for about
10 minutes for any other trip.
Currently the parking area is used to park contractor vehicles (which will no longer be
allowed in the variations are approved).
Agree to extend the sidewalk (upon ComEd’s relocation of equipment that is in the way),
and landscape on both sides of the front gate – both of which are public benefits.
Held a neighborhood meeting on April 4, 2016 that one person attended, who supports
the proposal and is in the ZBA audience.
Ms. Dziekan asked why the outdoor units are needed if the facility is only 11% occupied, and
the applicant explained the outdoor units appeal to contractors who need early morning access
and want to drive right up to their units to move large items such as ladders.
The applicant continued:
Other facilities in the area are 24 hours and are almost completely leased up.
The 24 hour access will be secured by a keypad, and every customer will have their own
PIN that records who came and when.
Ms. Cullen asked if the applicant expects the outdoor units to be fully occupied or only 11%, and
the applicant explained the outdoor units will lease quickly because they are much more
desirable for easy loading and unloading. The facility is 11% occupied because it recently
opened, and it is expected to be half full by the end of 2016.
Ms. Dziekan asked about the current business hours, whether the gate makes noise, and noted
the office was not manned at 2pm the day of the ZBA hearing. The applicant explained:
The indoor facility is currently open 10am-6pm, but plans to expand to 9am-7pm in the
future.
The office is typically manned during these hours.
The gate noise will be monitored to ensure it is not too loud.
All units feature month to month leases so if a specific customer is too loud, their lease
can be terminated.
Will add “no loitering” signs
Chair Berns noted her concerns with the proposed 2’ setback requests, and asked what
happens to the outdoor units if the compliant 8’ setbacks are adhered to. The applicant
explained:
8’ setbacks would prevent access to the building and loading area at the south end of
the property.
Access to any other part of the lot would be difficult or impossible when a vehicle is
parked in front of an outdoor unit to load/unload.
Vehicle maneuvering would be impossible – would not do outdoor units on the east side
of the property then.

Zoning Board of Appeals
Chair Berns asked how it will be handled if someone has a vehicle in front of their outdoor unit
that is blocking the indoor loading area, and the applicant responded that people are generally
civil and work together to wait. Also, there are other loading areas to utilize.
Chair Berns asked if the applicant investigated indoor units with direct garage door access by
cutting door openings in the existing building, and the applicant said it was not considered
because it would be cost prohibitive, would require reconfiguring the indoor layout, and
mechanicals are in the way.
Chair Berns asked if the facility could operate with a short period overnight that the facility is
closed, rather than 24 hour access, since contractors in Evanston cannot begin work until 7am
anyway and should therefore not need to access equipment from a storage unit before 5:30am
at the earliest. The applicant responded the 24 hour access is a benefit to other users as well.
It is convenient, though most customers do not access their units in the middle of the night.
Chair Berns asked why the 4 units in the northeast corner of the property are needed, given
how difficult it will be to access them. The applicant explained the only thing that space can be
used for is outdoor units. The facility will only lease those units to people who feel comfortable
maneuvering back to those units. Chair Berns responded that vehicles backed up to those units
will protrude into the drive aisle at the gated entrance. The applicant said customers could park
elsewhere and bring their items to those units. Ballards could be installed with no parking signs
for those units if it is problematic.
Lou & Charlie Booker, 2022 Lake Street, spoke in favor of the proposal. They explained the
storage facility has been a good neighbor and has always worked to address neighbor
concerns. The facility is applauded for leaving the greenspace on the west side of the property
as is like the neighborhood desired. The facility is well landscaped and clean, and the sidewalk
was extended where possible. The Block Club supports the proposal as well. The facility has
even delivered items that were left by old customers to a family in need.
Andy Spatz, 1900 Greenwood Street, submitted 10 photos and explained there is a lot of activity
on that site and in the street parking area. The facility will be much busier with 24 hour access
and when 90% occupied. What is the hardship? Mr. Spatz explained he is ok with outdoor
units so long as they are properly screened and the on-site parking is maintained. He also
asked where the 25 vehicles will park that are currently in the parking area that will feature the
storage units.
Chair Berns asked if anyone knows who parks in the street spaces. Mr. Spatz said the street
spaces were not completely occupied last fall, so he assumes it is people working at or visiting
the storage facility. Mr. Booker said high school students park there, and the City should stop
that from happening. Ms. Dziekan asked for clarification about the soccer facility on Dempster,
and Ms. Klotz explained the soccer facility drop off is on Greenwood as required by their special
use permit. Children then walk through the greenspace area on the west portion of the lot to get
to the soccer facility.
The applicant summarized:
10 parking spaces should be enough.
If there are occasions where customers use the street parking, it would be very rare, and
the street spaces are not typically occupied.
It is not convenient for customers to use the street parking, so they likely won’t.
The landscaping, screening, and sidewalk are all public benefits.
The ZBA entered into Deliberation:
Ms. Dziekan asked if stormwater management would be addressed if the units were placed on
the west side of the property in the greenspace, and Ms. Klotz responded yes, City stormwater
438 of 620

Zoning Board of Appeals
requirements would have to be met. The original proposal for the units in that location was a
concept plan only.
Ms. Cullen asked for clarification regarding the ComEd pole and box, and Ms. Klotz explained
ComEd has so far been non-responsive, but staff is still attempting to engage ComEd in
relocating the equipment.
The Standards were addressed:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. Yes
7. Yes
Ms. Cullen motioned to recommend approval of the setback and parking variations with the
following conditions:
1. Extend the sidewalk subject to ComEd relocating their equipment.
2. Add landscaping to the east and west of the front gate.
3. 24 hour operations shall be reevaluated by the DAPR Committee if complaints arise.
4. Outdoor units must remain portable and may not be affixed to the ground.
5. Approval is subject to the storage facility business only.
6. Substantial compliance with the documents and testimony on record.
Additionally, Ms. Cullen asked staff to look into the on-street parking and modifying the parking
requirements so that high school students do not use all of the spaces.
The motion was seconded by Ms. Arevalo and unanimously approved.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35pm.

Subject: 2020 greenwoood parking + ZBA (tonight's meeting)
Hi peter,
As owner of 1900 greenwood and our previous conversations, I am very concerned about john
cooper’s request outlined below.
Per ZBA 16ZMJV-0013 (see attached) request by john cooper on tonight’s agenda, he proposes
to DECREASE parking requirements by 22 spaces at 2020 greenwood to facilitate 50 new
outdoor storage units being located in the existing parking area (see photo 4). Users of this
facility arrive almost exclusively by car or truck, especially trade contractors. Public
transportation for this use is inadequate. I do not think it is fair to the other property owners nor
good for the neighborhood that makes use of the street parking to further REDUCE this
availability. The additional vehicles need to go somewhere. I know you are aware of the
congestion that already exists from the soccer club users.
442 of 620
2
Other solutions are available such as developing the vacant land to the west or adding indoor
parking. Obviously these require additional investment by mr. cooper for which he receives
additional return.
In every project we have developed over the last 20 years in Evanston, we have exceeded the
city onsite parking requirements. Several projects had NO onsite requirements since code did
not require any, yet we created more than adequate onsite parking. For example, at our project
at dewey/payne, voluntarily we added 46 exterior and interior parking spaces per our choice
(see photo 10). Actually, this is one of the reasons our business operates consistently at zero
vacancy.
I will attend tonight’s ZBA meeting and need your support on this. To me, this user is adding to
the existing over saturated parking situation and beyond their fair share of density in this
neighborhood. I will be speaking at the meeting accordingly. I have NEVER asked for your
assistance on similar matters to date, but I need it on this. I see no reason for this operating
facility NOT to be held to the existing code especially since there are other solutions available.
I phoned you yesterdaydo you have time to speak lat er today?
Thanks in advance, andy

For City Council meeting of July 25, 2016 Item P2
Ordinance 95-O-16 Application for a Special Use for a Craft Brewery, North Shore Cider
Company, at 707 Howard Street
For Introduction & Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Mark Muenzer, Director of Community Development
Damir Latinovic, Planning and Zoning Administrator
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner
Subject: Ordinance 95-O-16, Granting a Special Use for a Craft Brewery, North
Shore Cider Company, at 707 Howard Street
Date: July 11, 2016
Recommended Action
The Zoning Board of Appeals and City staff recommend adoption of Ordinance 95-O-16
granting special use approval for a Craft Brewery, North Shore Cider Company, at 707
Howard Street in the B3 Business District. The applicant has complied with all zoning
requirements and meets all of the standards for a special use for this district.
Suspension of the Rules is requested for Introduction and Action by City Council on July
25, 2016.
Summary
707 Howard Street Units B & C are located at the westernmost portion of the building at
the northwest corner of Howard Street and Custer Avenue in the B3 Business District
and are surrounded by commercial uses to the east, west, and south, and multi-family
residences to the north. Units B & C have been vacant for several years, and were last
occupied by a religious institution.
The applicant proposes to operate North Shore Cider Company, a Craft Brewery that
will produce apple and pear cider from fruit juice delivered to the facility. Yeast is added
to the juice to ferment into alcoholic cider, which is then chilled and bottled on-site.
Cider brewing produces fewer odors than beer brewing because apple/pear juice
contains sugar initially whereas beer requires chemical reactions of enzymes activing
into sugar, which produces odors. Therefore, cider brewing has no steam byproduct to
vent out of the building and will only feature a typical building exhaust system.
The space comprises approximately 2,400 square feet. The front 500 square feet will
feature retail sales and cider tasting area, and will operate Thursday-Friday from 3pm –
Memorandum
454 of 620
7:30pm, and Saturday-Sunday from noon-4pm. Tastings will be limited to one ounce
cups. The remaining space will be utilized for cider production, bottling, and storage.
The applicant expects to obtain a P-3 liquor license. No special events are currently
planned, but events such as facility tours may occur in the future. Retail sales will
include bottles, growlers, howlers, and kegs.
Juice deliveries to the property will occur once per week after apples and pears are
harvested from October to December. Other deliveries including bottles and carbon
dioxide will occur year round. All deliveries will occur via the alley between the hours of
9am-5pm. All cider will be brewed within a three month period following the harvest
season. The remaining months will be used for bottling and packaging. The applicant
expects to produce 6,000 gallons (200 barrels) of cider in the first production year, and
will make local cider deliveries using his personal vehicle.
There are two parking spaces behind the building for employee parking, as well as a
loading area for deliveries. No exterior changes to the building are proposed other than
signage and the removal of the blue and orange laminate on the storefront windows.
City staff is not aware of any concerns from neighboring property owners. The applicant
expects the business will open in late fall.
Comprehensive Plan
The Evanston Comprehensive General Plan encourages the use of vacant spaces
along existing commercial corridors to enhance the vibrancy of business districts. The
Comprehensive Plan specifically includes:
Goal: Promote the growth and redevelopment of business, commercial,
and industrial areas.
Policy: Encourage the location of new or expanding businesses in
existing commercial and mixed-use locations that would benefit from
redevelopment…
Policy: Continue to promote the revitalization of the Howard Street
corridor…

New Business
707 Howard Street ZBA 16ZMJV-0049
Christopher Collins, potential lessee, applies for a special use permit for a Craft Brewery, North
Shore Cider Company, in the B3 Business District, which requires a special use permit for a
Craft Brewery to operate (Zoning Code Section 6-9-4-3). The Zoning Board of Appeals makes a
recommendation to City Council, the determining body for this case.
Ms. Klotz read the case into the record.
Mr. Collins explained the proposal:
Has been an amateur cider-maker for +6 years but has not produced commercially yet
Juice is shipped from Earth First Farms in Michigan
Will sell retail hard cider for off-site consumption, and incidental retail apparel
Retail hours of 3:30-7:30pm Thursday and Friday, and from noon-4pm Saturday and
Sunday
Retail space in the front portion of the building and cider production in the rear.
Deliveries will occur between 9am-5pm only and will consist of containers of juice
delivered October-December 1x per week by box truck. CO2 and bottles will be
delivered 1x per month year round by box truck.
2 existing parking spaces behind the building off of the alley and one loading space that
can be used for parking when there are no deliveries scheduled.
No smell produced because there is no brewing like with beer and the malt/hops.
Juice is already pasteurized
1 employee to start, but hope to add one more employee after a few months
No exterior changes to the building other than signage
No special events currently planned, but maybe occasionally in the future
Know of one similar cider company in the area located in Chicago
Ms. McAuley said the location would be great for more special events, and noted the applicant

2. 2 on-site parking spaces are required.

1919 Church Street ZBA 15ZMJV-0114
Robert Edelman, contractor, applies for a special use permit and major zoning relief to replace
existing ComEd equipment in the B2 Business District and the oWE West Evanston Overlay
District, which requires a special use permit for a Public Utility (Zoning Code Section 6-9-3-3).
The applicant requests to replace existing utility equipment with “DC-in-a-box” utility equipment
screened from the right-of-way by landscaping where screening by landscaping and a solid
fence is required (Zoning Code Section 6-15-15-XXI-C-1), landscaping where landscaping and
a 3’-4’ steel or PVC picket fence is required to screen open parking from the right-of-way along
Brown Avenue (Zoning Code Section 6-15-15-XVIII-B-5), and a continuous hedge with plantings
spaces 48” on center where a continuous hedge with plantings spaced 36” on center is required
(Zoning Code Section 6-15-15-XXI-C-2). The Zoning Board of Appeals makes a
recommendation to City Council, the determining body for this case.
ZBA 16ZMJV-0020
Ms. Klotz read the case into the record.
Darren Boundy, representative for ComEd, explained the proposal:
New equipment does not need fencing for safety or by ComEd standards, and
Alderman, residents, and staff prefer no fencing.
New equipment will increase reliability because it can switch over during blackouts much
easier and faster.
Ms. Cullen asked about the size of the new equipment, and Mr. Boundy responded that the
largest equipment box is approximately 9’ x 8’. The total footprint of the equipment won’t be
reduced, but the bulk will be.
Ms. McAuley noted the existing landscaping is overgrown, and asked how the proposed
landscaping will be maintained.
Robert Edelman, representative for ComEd explained:
Landscaping contractor picked plants that have quick grown with minimal watering so
plants won’t die without irrigation.
Do not have a landscaping maintenance contract, but have internal ComEd landscaping
maintenance that is done as needed.
The landscape design is proposed with spacing for plant growth planned in.
462 of 620
Page 3 of 4
Zoning Board of Appeals
2 existing trees fronting Church Street will be trimmed back to provide adequate sight
under the tree canopies.
Any accumulation of litter on the site will be picked up by ComEd as necessary.
Overall idea is to buffer the equipment but maintain a line of sight into the property for
safety reasons for the neighborhood.
Ms. McAuley noted it would be great if ComEd would post a contact number for landscaping
maintenance on the property so they can be easily reached if necessary.
Chair Berns asked about the noise level of the existing equipment versus the new equipment,
and Mr. Edelman responded there is no change in the noise level.
Ms. Dziekan asked how involved Y.O.U. has been throughout the process and if they are aware
of the full plan. Mr. Edelman responded:
The Y.O.U. architect was present at both DAPR meetings, and ComEd had meetings to
discuss construction schedules and make sure each other’s construction would not be
impacted.
The Y.O.U. building construction will be completed prior to the ComEd equipment
switch.
Trash bins surround the general area so hopefully trash will not accumulate around the
equipment.
Will post signage with a phone number people can call if landscaping needs
maintenance.
Ms. Cullen asked if the ComEd upgrade is planned because of the new Y.O.U. building, and Mr.
Edelman responded no, it is a planned standard upgrade.
The ZBA entered into Deliberation:
Ms. Dziekan noted the proposal will have less visual impact than the current equipment. The
proposal is a nice upgrade that goes well with the new Y.O.U. building. Ms. Cullen agreed.
The Standards for Special Use were addressed:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. Yes
7. Yes
8. Yes
9. Yes
The Standards for Variation were addressed:

The special use was motioned to recommend approval by Ms. Cullen and seconded by Ms.

Ms. Klotz clarified the variations shall be determined by the City Council since the special use is
determined by City Council.

For City Council meeting of July 25, 2016 Item P3
Ordinance 96-O-16 Application for a Special Use for a Public Utility and Major Zoning
Relief for Landscaping & Fencing at 1919 Church Street
For Introduction & Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Mark Muenzer, Director of Community Development
Damir Latinovic, Planning and Zoning Administrator
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner
Subject: Ordinance 96-O-16, Granting a Special Use for a Public Utility and Major
Zoning Relief for Landscaping & Fencing at 1919 Church Street
Date: July 11, 2016
Recommended Action
The Zoning Board of Appeals and City staff recommend adoption of Ordinance 96-O-16
granting special use approval for a Public Utility for the replacement of existing ComEd
equipment with “DC-in-a-box” utility equipment, and major zoning relief to screen utility
equipment and open parking with landscaping where landscaping and a solid fence is
required, with a continuous hedge of plantings spaces 48” on center where plantings
are required to be spaced 36” on center, at 1919 Church Street. The applicant has
complied with all other zoning requirements, and meets all of the standards for special
use and major variation in the B2 Business District and the oWE West Evanston
Overlay District. Suspension of the Rules is requested for Introduction and Action by
City Council on July 25, 2016.
Summary
1919 Church Street is located at the northeast corner of Church Street and Brown
Avenue in the B2 Business District and oWE West Evanston Overlay District and is
surrounded by single family residences to the north and west, the new Y.O.U. facility
currently under construction to the east, and ETHS to the south. The property currently
features ComEd equipment and is enclosed by a chain link fence.
Utility Equipment:
The upgrade to ComEd utility equipment requires Special Use approval. ComEd
proposes to replace an existing distribution center with a smaller, more reliable, and
higher efficiency “DC-in-a-box” distribution center. The new equipment will increase
capacity, reliability, and will provide better back-up abilities should other distribution
Memorandum
467 of 620
centers fail during inclement weather. The new equipment is smaller in size and does
not necessitate fencing for safety.
The proposal includes the replacement of all electrical equipment on the property with
one new box that is 8.5’ in height and three smaller boxes that range from 5.3’ – 6.2’ in
height. Each box is tamper proof, locked, and safe to touch or climb on (though not
advised). Each box is located on a concrete pad, with gravel infill surrounding the entire
distribution center area. All equipment will be surrounded by a landscaping hedge as
well as existing and new trees. ComEd no longer fences this type of equipment since it
is safely enclosed and so that animals/humans cannot become trapped in the area.
The north portion of the property features a parking pad off of the alley that will be used
by ComEd maintenance vehicles.
Landscaping:
The applicant is requesting a major variation to install evergreen landscaping hedge 48’
apart on center where minimum 36” separation is required for screening of the utility
equipment from the right-of-way. Staff and the DAPR Committee specifically requested
less landscaping than the Zoning Ordinance requires so that the utility equipment is
adequately screened, but not fully obscured. Solid landscaping at the site could
encourage dumping and/or safety issues since the interior of the property would not be
468 of 620
visible at all from the right of way and given the site’s location next to the new Y.O.U
facility and ETHS.
The proposed evergreen hedge would be spaced 48” on center with a mature planting
height of 6’-8” (3’ height when planted). The two existing trees near Church Street will
be trimmed to provide better visibility under the canopy.
Proposed Utility Equipment and Landscaping (view from Brown Avenue):
Fencing:
The applicant is also requesting approval of major variation to not install a fence around
the equipment and parking area as required by Code for additional screening. Fencing
at the site could also encourage dumping and/or safety issues, and could entrap small
animals. Fencing is also not necessary surrounding the parking area since vehicles will
rarely utilize the parking spaces.
Conclusion:
City staff is not aware of any objections to the proposal, and finds the increased utility
reliability and extensive aesthetic improvements beneficial to the community. The
upgrades proposed at the property will blend well with the adjacent redevelopment and
landscaping at the Y.O.U. property to the east.
ComEd also worked extensively with City staff to determine if a City parking lot could be
designed at the property, though the distancing requirements for the utility equipment
and the extensive parking and landscaping requirements of the oWE West Evanston
Overlay District made the parking lot impractical.
469 of 620
Comprehensive Plan
The Evanston Comprehensive General Plan encourages the enhancement of
neighborhoods through improved infrastructure and safety through design. The
proposed replacement of ComEd utility equipment with “DC-in-a-box” equipment and a
continuous landscaping hedge surrounding the equipment will benefit the neighborhood
with more reliable infrastructure at an aesthetically improved property. The
Comprehensive Plan specifically includes:
Goal: To maintain and enhance utility systems that enable both quality
community service and economic development throughout Evanston.
Objective: Maintain Evanston policies and agreements relating to energy
and telecommunication services current with industry changes.
The proposal will improve utility functionality and reliability while also improving the
aesthetics of the property through adequate landscaping.
Legislative History
July 5, 2016: The ZBA recommended unanimous approval of the special use and
variations.

707 Howard Street ZBA 16ZMJV-0049
Christopher Collins, potential lessee, applies for a special use permit for a Craft Brewery, North
Shore Cider Company, in the B3 Business District, which requires a special use permit for a
Craft Brewery to operate (Zoning Code Section 6-9-4-3). The Zoning Board of Appeals makes a
recommendation to City Council, the determining body for this case.
Ms. Klotz read the case into the record.
Mr. Collins explained the proposal:

Retail hours of 3:30-7:30pm Thursday and Friday, and from noon-4pm Saturday and
Sunday
Retail space in the front portion of the building and cider production in the rear.
Deliveries will occur between 9am-5pm only and will consist of containers of juice
delivered October-December 1x per week by box truck. CO2 and bottles will be
delivered 1x per month year round by box truck.
2 existing parking spaces behind the building off of the alley and one loading space that
can be used for parking when there are no deliveries scheduled.

Juice is already pasteurized
1 employee to start, but hope to add one more employee after a few months
No exterior changes to the building other than signage
No special events currently planned, but maybe occasionally in the future
Know of one similar cider company in the area located in Chicago

Robert Edelman, contractor, applies for a special use permit and major zoning relief to replace
existing ComEd equipment in the B2 Business District and the oWE West Evanston Overlay
District, which requires a special use permit for a Public Utility (Zoning Code Section 6-9-3-3).
The applicant requests to replace existing utility equipment with “DC-in-a-box” utility equipment
screened from the right-of-way by landscaping where screening by landscaping and a solid
fence is required (Zoning Code Section 6-15-15-XXI-C-1), landscaping where landscaping and
a 3’-4’ steel or PVC picket fence is required to screen open parking from the right-of-way along
Brown Avenue (Zoning Code Section 6-15-15-XVIII-B-5), and a continuous hedge with plantings
spaces 48” on center where a continuous hedge with plantings spaced 36” on center is required
(Zoning Code Section 6-15-15-XXI-C-2). The Zoning Board of Appeals makes a
recommendation to City Council, the determining body for this case.
ZBA 16ZMJV-0020
Ms. Klotz read the case into the record.
Darren Boundy, representative for ComEd, explained the proposal:
New equipment does not need fencing for safety or by ComEd standards, and
Alderman, residents, and staff prefer no fencing.
New equipment will increase reliability because it can switch over during blackouts much
easier and faster.
Ms. Cullen asked about the size of the new equipment, and Mr. Boundy responded that the
largest equipment box is approximately 9’ x 8’. The total footprint of the equipment won’t be
reduced, but the bulk will be.
Ms. McAuley noted the existing landscaping is overgrown, and asked how the proposed
landscaping will be maintained.
Robert Edelman, representative for ComEd explained:
Landscaping contractor picked plants that have quick grown with minimal watering so
plants won’t die without irrigation.
Do not have a landscaping maintenance contract, but have internal ComEd landscaping
maintenance that is done as needed.
The landscape design is proposed with spacing for plant growth planned in.

Zoning Board of Appeals
2 existing trees fronting Church Street will be trimmed back to provide adequate sight
under the tree canopies.
Any accumulation of litter on the site will be picked up by ComEd as necessary.
Overall idea is to buffer the equipment but maintain a line of sight into the property for
safety reasons for the neighborhood.
Ms. McAuley noted it would be great if ComEd would post a contact number for landscaping
maintenance on the property so they can be easily reached if necessary.
Chair Berns asked about the noise level of the existing equipment versus the new equipment,
and Mr. Edelman responded there is no change in the noise level.
Ms. Dziekan asked how involved Y.O.U. has been throughout the process and if they are aware
of the full plan. Mr. Edelman responded:
The Y.O.U. architect was present at both DAPR meetings, and ComEd had meetings to
discuss construction schedules and make sure each other’s construction would not be
impacted.
The Y.O.U. building construction will be completed prior to the ComEd equipment
switch.
Trash bins surround the general area so hopefully trash will not accumulate around the
equipment.
Will post signage with a phone number people can call if landscaping needs
maintenance.
Ms. Cullen asked if the ComEd upgrade is planned because of the new Y.O.U. building, and Mr.
Edelman responded no, it is a planned standard upgrade.
The ZBA entered into Deliberation:
Ms. Dziekan noted the proposal will have less visual impact than the current equipment. The
proposal is a nice upgrade that goes well with the new Y.O.U. building. Ms. Cullen agreed.
The Standards for Special Use were addressed:
1. Yes

determined by City Council.

For City Council meeting of July 25, 2016 Item P4
Ordinance 49-O-16, Mailed Noticing Requirements for Planning and Zoning Cases
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Mark Muenzer, Director of Community Development
Damir Latinovic, Planning and Zoning Administrator
Meagan Jones, Neighborhood and Land Use Planner
Subject: Ordinance 49-O-16
Establishment of Responsibility for Mailed Noticing Requirements for
Planning and Zoning Cases
16PLND-0036
Date: July 12, 2016
Recommended Action:
The Plan Commission and staff recommend approval of the Zoning Ordinance Text
Amendment to establish applicant’s responsibility for mailed noticing requirements for
planning and zoning cases. The proposal allows the City to contract the mailing of
notices for planning and zoning cases to a third party service and makes the applicant
responsible for cost of mailing service.
Background
For planning and zoning applications, the Zoning Ordinance requires that several
methods be used to inform neighboring property owners of pending cases. These
include sign posting at the site location, newspaper and City website posting of the
case, and mail and email notices. For mailed notices, zoning ordinance requirements
specify that information regarding cases be provided via first class mail to neighboring
property owners within specified distances of site locations (250, 500 or 1,000 feet). The
zoning ordinance currently specifies that mailed noticing requirements are the
responsibility of the City. The ordinance also stipulates that a failure of delivery of such
mailed notices will not automatically invalidate a hearing or application due to the
additional forms of notice given.
The procedure for providing mailed notices involves a number of steps. First, staff
generates a list of taxpayers to be noticed using the City’s geographic information
system (GIS) software which is periodically updated with Cook County Tax Assessor
data. Staff then prepares the notices, the number of which can range from
approximately 50 for a 250 foot radius mailing, to several thousands of notices for a
1,000 foot radius mailing. Once the notices are prepared, they are folded and placed in
envelopes and sent to the City Clerk’s office for postage and mailing.
Memorandum
486 of 620
Staff estimates that up to one-third of the time taken to process applications for planning
and zoning cases is spent on processing notices. It is estimated that the amount of time
taken to process notices is approximately 10 hours a week and 40 hours per month
(excluding time spent by City Clerk’s Office staff to prepare postage).
Proposal Overview
Based on feedback from the Plan Commission and staff research, staff is proposing to
amend the zoning ordinance to allow the City to contract the mailing of notices for all
planning and zoning cases to a third party mailing service vendor and make the
applicant responsible for cost of that service.
The specification in the zoning ordinance that a failure to provide mailed notice will not
automatically invalidate a hearing/application will remain unchanged.
For each case, staff would initiate a work order and provide the notice template, which
will be a postcard (sample below), and the list of property owners within the specified
radius of the subject property to the selected third party mailing service vendor. The
vendor would supplement the list of property owners to be notified with those in
surrounding municipalities (e.g. Skokie Wilmette or Chicago), should those properties
fall within the required mailing radius. The vendor would then print and mail the notices
and generate an invoice. The invoice would then be sent directly to the applicant for
payment.
Front of postcard Back of postcard
The existing planning and zoning application fees paid to the City would remain
unchanged. The proposal would, however, result in a cost increase to the applicants as
the invoice for the mailing service would be paid directly by the applicants to the third
party vendor.
A Request for Quotes was drafted and distributed to 5 third party vendors (On-Track
Fulfillment, Sebis Direct, The Blueprint Shoppe, Inc., InfoUSA, and Property Insights),
with the capability of creating and mailing notices. Two of the vendors are Evanston
based businesses. The cost proposals are summarized in the table below:
487 of 620
Company
Name
Average Cost Per
Notice
Cost for
Supplemental List
Base Service Fee
Sebis Direct $1.15 for 250 ft. radius
$.55 for 500 ft. radius
$.19 for 1000 ft. radius
NA* $85
On-Track Fulfillment
(Evanston based)
No response No response No response
The Blueprint Shoppe, Inc.
(Evanston based)
$.70 $275 NA
InfoUSA $.60 $170 NA
Property Insight No response No response No response
*Cost included in base service fee
If the proposed text amendment is approved, based on the submitted cost estimates
and the ability to process the work order requests in needed time frames, staff would
select The Blueprint Shoppe, Inc. as the vendor for all future mailed notices. Given the
minimal cost difference between lowest bidder (InfoUsa) and The Blueprint Shoppe, Inc.
and the fact that the applicant would be responsible for the direct costs of the mailing
service, staff believes it is important to select an Evanston based business for the
service.
If deemed preferable, the proposal could be modified so that City staff would retain the
responsibility for mailing the notices in-house for zoning applications with 250-foot
radius for notification.
While the intent of the planning and zoning application fees is not to achieve full cost
recovery for processing applications, the proposal aims to create a more equitable
scenario in which the applicant is responsible for a larger share of the true cost of
reviewing and processing an application. Using third party services will improve
turnaround time of reviewing and processing applications and overall efficiency.
The proposal is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive
General Plan through its promotion of increased efficiency related to application
processing and review.
Legislative History
June 8, 2016 – The Plan Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
proposed text amendment as amended.
May 11, 2016 – The Plan Commission recommended that staff look into additional third
party mailing options for all planning and zoning cases and consider making the
applicant responsible for the cost of mailing services

Plan Commission Minutes 6/8/2016
Ms. Jones presented the staff report. The updated proposed text amendment would
enable staff to contract with a third party mailing service in order to create and mail
notices to property owners and place the responsibility of costs for mailing services
onto the applicant. Ms. Jones shared information on additional research done since
the May meeting then reviewed the standards of approval and stated that staff
recommends approval of the text amendment.
Chairman Ford opened the Commission deliberation.
Commissioner Dubin inquired about the responsibility of verifying the property owner
addresses should an applicant take on the mailing of the notices. Ms. Jones stated
that the updated proposal would remove the option of an applicant mailing the notices
themselves and place the responsibility onto the third party mailing service that is
selected.
Commissioner Lewis asked for clarification regarding whether the revised
amendment would apply to all cases requiring mailed notices regardless of the radius
that notification must be sent to. Ms. Jones responded that this would apply to all
cases requiring mailed notification whether it is within a 250, 500 or 1000 foot radius.
He then inquired about how the contractor would be chosen and how the mailing
would be handled for taxpayers outside of the City of Evanston. Ms. Jones replied
that cost would be taken into consideration when selecting the contractor. Each
service contractor has the ability to create the radius and obtained taxpayer
information
Commissioner Brown asked if the cost would be incorporated into the current zoning
fees. Ms. Jones stated that the fees associated with mailing notices would be in
addition to the existing application fees for planning and zoning projects.
Chairman Ford, asked for clarification as to why 250 radius is now included. Ms.
Jones responded that discussion during the May meeting brought up an opinion that
if efficiency and equity is the goal of the proposal, then all mailed notice radii should
be considered for inclusion in the proposal. Staff looked at this discussion item,
considered the costs to use a third party service for these cases and decided to
include the 250 radius mailings in the proposal.
Commissioner Lewis asked if the mailings are required twice for each case or just for
250 foot radius. Mr. Latinovic clarified that for both minor variations, fence variations
and substitutions of special use permits one notice is sent to alert adjacent property
owners that there is a case, then again once a decision is made. Lewis stated that it
may be more appropriate for a decision to come directly from the City. Mr. Latinovic
stated that this was considered; however, since proposed notices would include
information provided from the City as well as the logo, notices for these cases could
be included and still be official.
Commissioner Goddard asked how much time is spent on the minor variations. Mr.
Latinovic stated that for minor variations, there are a larger number cases with a
smaller number of notices that are sent out. Since notices are sent twice, time spent
on them can add up.

Mr. Lewis asked for clarification on the pricing scale of the two companies researched
by staff. Ms. Jones stated that On-Track Fulfillment has a base fee for mailings then a
scale of pricing depending on mailing size and quantity; Sebis Direct does not charge
the base fee and charges per document. A brief discussion followed regarding
suggesting a request for proposals should include a stipulation for fair pricing for the
applicant.
Chairman Ford inquired whether or not verifying taxpayer addresses would incur an
additional cost and whether or not it is necessary. Mr. Latinovic stated that staff does
an initial review of the list and would continue to do so prior to sending the list to the
third party service. An agreement with county will be pursued to obtain data for other
municipalities so that, in the future, additional costs will not be incurred for that
service. There is no responsibility on the applicant to verify the taxpayer addresses.
Commissioner Brown asked if staff could request a copy of supplemental lists should
it be needed. Staff confirmed that this would be part of the procedure.
Commissioner Belisle reiterated what the process would be. Mr. Latinovic confirmed
and a brief discussion followed on the overall process for the mailings as proposed as
well as considering the third party mailing service as the agent of the City versus the
applicant.
Chairman Ford asked for confirmation that the provision stating that a failure of a
mailed notice to be delivered would not invalidate a public hearing would still stand.
Mr. Latinovic confirmed that provision would be unchanged.
Commissioner Dubin inquired about other municipalities’ ability to obtain and check
taxpayer information for similar cases. Mr. Latinovic stated that other cities have a
similar process and taxpayer information is occasionally inaccurate due to changes in
owners or similar issues, those who use third party services tend to have more
accurate information due to their ability to more frequently update data or pay for
additional information.
Commissioner Lewis inquired about an ordinance and what language would need to
be included. Mr. Latinovic stated that based on the last meeting, staff decided to wait
on updating the originally drafted ordinance until a more concrete proposal was
obtained. A brief discussion followed as to whether or not needed language updates
would be better suited for internal policies and guidelines versus an ordinance and
conditions for the request for quotes, including ensuring that a service be chosen that
provides a fair and equitable cost to the applicant.
Commissioner Goddard made the motion to recommend approval of the text
amendment provided by staff as modified to select the third party mail service based
on most equitable cost for all applicants. Commissioner Isaac seconded the motion. It
was agreed that a draft ordinance for text amendment would be emailed to the
Commissioners prior to it proceeding to City Council.
A roll call vote was taken and the motion was approved, 8-0.

For City Council meeting of July 25, 2016 Item P5
Ordinance 47-O-16, Planned Development – 1815 Ridge/Oak Avenue
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Mark Muenzer, Director of Community Development Department
Damir Latinovic, Planning and Zoning Administrator
Meagan Jones, Neighborhood and Land Use Planner
Subject: Ordinance 47-O-16
Planned Development, 1815 Ridge/Oak Avenue, 15PLND-0112
Date: July 21, 2016
Recommended Action:
Plan Commission and Staff recommend adoption of Ordinance 47-O-16 for approval of
the Planned Development with rezoning from C2 Commercial to D4-Downtown
Transition and Special use for Independent and Assisted Living units. The 10-story 163-
unit residential building would consist of 102 independent and assisted living dwelling
units, 31 Assisted Living units for residents with cognitive impairment, 30 memory care
units and 67 parking spaces on site. The development includes 1 site development
allowance request for 102 dwelling units where maximum 84 are allowed in the D4
zoning district by Code.
Staff recommends that the proposed installation of a public art element on site be
replaced with a $10,000 contribution to the public art fund. Such funds can then be used
for installation of more appropriate public art element in the vicinity of the site, such as
the Emerson/Ridge/Green Bay intersection. The proposed public benefits of the project
are outlined on page 5 of the memorandum.
Update since July 11, 2016 P&D Committee meeting
The applicant submitted a letter explaining further the level of care to be provided for the
proposed assisted living units to confirm City’s classification of the project as
Independent and Assisted Living facility. This letter is included as an attachment.
Background
The .77 acre site, currently vacant, was previously improved with a one-story National
School Towel Service building. The project site also includes City-owned land north of
the former National School Towel Service building. Both the City-owned parcel and the
former National School Towel Service building parcel are under contract and to be
purchased by the applicant pending land use entitlement approvals.
Memorandum
503 of 620
The uses surrounding the site include: Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church south of the
site as well as the 8-story 1717 Ridge apartment building; Metra railroad right-of-way to
the north and east; the 14 and 16-story E2 apartment building east of the railroad
tracks; and multi-family residences and office uses to the west including the 6-story
Grand Bend at Green Bay Road and 4-story 1800 Ridge Avenue building.
The proposed building as approved by Plan Commission was originally 11 stories high
and included a total 165 units (102 assisted living and independent living dwelling units,
31 assisted living units for residents with cognitive impairment and 30 memory care
units) and 67 parking spaces.
1815 Ridge/Oak Avenue Proposed Planned Development
The revised plans call for a 10 story building including 102 assisted living and
independent living dwelling units, 31 assisted living units for residents with cognitive
impairment and 30 memory care units. A total of 67 parking spaces will be provided.
Compliance with the Zoning Ordinance
Rezoning
As part of the Planned Development approval, the applicant is requesting rezoning of
the property from C2 Commercial (which does not allow any type of residential uses) to
D4 Downtown Transition District. Per Zoning Ordinance, the intent of the D4 district is to
provide for infill development and redevelopment within downtown Evanston with
massing and scale of structures reflective of established uses providing a transition
between downtown and districts adjacent to the downtown.
Special Use
The applicant is requesting Special Use approval for the Assisted Living (memory care
and assisted living units) and Independent Living dwelling units in the building. Assisted
and Independent Living facilities are allowed as a Special Use when located above the
ground floor in the D4 district. The applicant has provided a letter detailing the level of
care that will be provided for the assisted living portion of the facility (attached).

Building Composition
The ground floor of the 105 foot tall building will consist of the building’s parking garage
with 18 parking spaces, 2 loading spaces, administrative offices and a lobby entrance
on the south side of the building off of the existing east-west alley adjacent to the south.
The second level includes additional 49 parking spaces for a total of 67 parking spaces
on site.
The 3rd floor of the building includes a “town center” which will consist of amenities such
as a wellness center, salon, theater, community room, dining area, business center,
library and 2 outdoor garden terraces on the east and west sides of the building. The
third floor also includes 6 assisted living units. The 4th floor will house 30 memory care
units and associated services. This level will also have a smaller secured garden
terrace. The 5th floor will consist of 31 assisted living units for residents with cognitive
impairment along with a lounge, dining space and terrace. Floors 6 through 8 will
consist of additional assisted living units, approximately 21 dwelling units per floor.
Floors 9 and 10 will consist of independent living dwelling units with a mix of studio, 1
bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments. An amenity space for the residents and a
greenroof are also proposed as part of the 10th floor.
Site Layout
The vehicular access to the site will be from Oak Avenue. Residents and visitors will be
able to drive immediately off of Oak Avenue to access the upper level of the parking
garage or turn left towards the covered drop-off area to access the ground floor parking
entrance just east of the lobby. To exit, vehicles will make a u-turn onto the alley and
proceed towards Oak Avenue. There will be no access to or from Ridge Avenue, except
for emergency vehicles only.
As one of the public benefits, the applicant is proposing to widen Oak Avenue, creating
a two way street to accommodate traffic to the site. This design will maintain the existing
14 metered parking spaces on both sides of Oak Avenue north of Clark Street with
installation of a new public sidewalk on the west side of Oak Avenue. West of the site,
along Ridge Avenue, the applicant will provide a 5 foot wide public sidewalk with 13
street trees planted within a new 7 foot, 6 inch parkway. There will be a total 12 new
bike racks for building visitors, located along Ridge Avenue and off of Oak Avenue, as
well as a seating garden just southwest of the building. The applicant is also proposing
505 of 620
a pocket park just north of the building. The maintenance of this park will be applicant’s
responsibility that will be contracted to a local landscape maintenance company.
1815 Ridge/Oak Avenue, Ground Floor Plan
Parking and Traffic
Based on the number and type of units proposed and the total number of projected
employees (100), the proposed building is required to have a total of 67 parking spaces.
The applicant is proposing a total of 67 parking spaces for the proposed development. A
convenience shuttle is also proposed to be utilized for residents to reduce the need for
vehicles to access amenities in the surrounding area.
The Parking and Traffic Study submitted by the applicant concludes that the proposed
parking arrangement will meet the parking demand of the building tenants. The building
will be targeted to residents over the age of 55 who are expected to have fewer vehicles
and utilize convenience shuttles provided by the facility, walk or bike to nearby
amenities. The facility is also located in close proximity to the transit stops and multiple
bus lines. A valet service will be implemented on days when an increase in the number
of visitors is expected.
The applicant will provide improvements to Church Street and Oak Avenue intersection
to include pedestrian countdowns and high visibility crosswalks, traffic signage at Clark
Street and Oak Avenue, and pedestrian crosswalk improvements at intersections
immediately south of the site as a public benefit of the project.
506 of 620
Public Benefits
The proposed development will replace a vacant site and generate additional property
tax to the community. The proposed building will also provide an additional living option
for senior residents in Evanston.
The applicant has committed to and the Ordinance includes the following public
benefits, at a total estimated cost of $900,000, as part of the Planned Development
proposal:
1. Affordable Housing
a) 2 on-site units at 80% AMI and
b) $400,000 contribution to Affordable Housing Fund, an equivalent of a 6
unit contribution to the project, or 60% of current Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance (IHO) requirement). The PD application was submitted prior
to the recent adoption of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and is
therefore exempt from current IHO requirements.
2. Streetscape improvements along Ridge Avenue, extending south to Clark
Street, east through the adjacent alley and south on Oak Avenue to Clark
Street including: a public sidewalk, new 8 foot landscaped parkway going
from the northern tip of the project south to Clark Street, increased
landscaping within traffic control improvements and two public seating
areas.
3. An art installation within the pocket park north of the proposed building.
(Staff recommends a $10,000 contribution to public art fund in-lieu of on-
site public art installation.)
4. Traffic control improvements to sidewalks and crosswalks at and near the
site as follows:
a. An improved traffic island, high visibility cross-walks and improved
signage at the Oak Avenue and Clark Street intersection.
b. Improvements to Oak Street including widening of the street from
the project site to Clark Street and creation of vehicular access to
the Mt. Zion Church parking lot.
c. Installation of high visibility crosswalks at the intersection of Clark
Street and Ridge Avenue.
d. Installation of pedestrian countdowns and four high visibility
crosswalks at Church Street and Oak Avenue.
e. Pedestrian connection (sidewalk) from Ridge Avenue to Oak
Avenue, south to Clark Street.
5. A $10,000 sponsorship for Divvy bike share program
6. 28 Bicycle parking spaces for visitors on the west and south portions of
the development.
7. Hiring of minimum of 10 Evanston residents during construction and
offering of the estimated 50 permanent jobs to Evanston residents, subject
to their qualifications for employment.

City of Evanston
2100 Ridge Avenue
Evanston, Illinois 60201
RE: Sheltered Care Homes in Evanston as Compared to the Proposed Planned Development
at 1815 Oak Avenue
Dear Ms. Jones:
I am writing on behalf of my client 1815 Ridge Avenue, LLC, the applicant (“Applicant”) of the
Planned Development at 1815 Oak (the “Project”) to better define the Assisted Living use at the
Project. This is in response to public comment from community members and questions from the
City Council about the appropriateness of the Project’s proposed use in the D4 Zone.
In our letter to Melissa Klotz dated June 23, 2016 (attached hereto for reference as Exhibit A),
we articulated the different licensing categories for supportive living facilities in the State of
Illinois, and indicated that because, among other reasons, the Project does not provide skilled,
around the clock medical and other care, the level of care provided there qualifies it for an
Assisted Living license per Illinois law. At the July 11 City Council meeting the neighbors at
1800 Ridge Avenue Lofts Homeowners’ Association and 1830 Ridge Condo Homeowners’
Association and their Counsel (the “Opposition”), questioned whether the distinctions set forth in
the State’s licensing framework are consistent with Evanston’s Zoning Ordinance. We are
certain that they are.
Although they have no objection to the proposed Independent Living use, the Opposition claims
that the Assisted Living uses proposed at the Project are more akin to the Sheltered Care Use
(per Evanston’s Zoning Ordinance) rather than the Assisted Living use as proposed by the
Applicant. The Assisted Living use is permitted as a Special Use in the D4 district. However,
Sheltered Care is not permitted in the D4 district at all.
The definitions of Assisted Living and Sheltered Care in Evanston’s Zoning Ordinance are very
similar. The definitions are listed and attached hereto as Exhibit B. The primary distinction
between the Assisted Living use and the Sheltered Care Home use is that Sheltered Care
572 of 620
July 20, 2016
Page 2 of 5
facilities provide “twenty-four (24) hour supervision and monitoring of the mental and health
status of residents”. The Sheltered Care license issued by the State of Illinois also requires
twenty-four (24) hour nursing staff at such a facility. The proposed Assisted Living facility does
provide twenty-four (24) hour staffing, but not to the extent required for a Sheltered Care
License. No medical staff is required nor provided at the proposed Project. If a resident would
require the level of care such that they must have twenty-four (24) hour access to and supervision
by medical staff, that resident would no longer be able to reside at the facility. While this may
seem “harsh”, this is for the benefit, not just of that particular resident, but also for the other
residents in the proposed Project. Such a policy is not only required by the state issued Assisted
Living licensure, but also helps to maintain a feeling of independence and enhances the living
experience of the other residents there.
The differences between the proposed Assisted Living Facility and the other state licensed
Sheltered Care Homes in Evanston is evident from the readily available information about these
other facilities. The following, is taken from a comprehensive list of licensed Sheltered Care
Homes in Illinois published by the Illinois Department of Public Health. It lists the existing
licensed Sheltered Care Homes in Evanston and describes the characteristics of each facility that
are different from the proposed Project, and which elevate the level of care provided at each
facility to “Sheltered Care”: specifically, skilled nursing care; and 24 hour health monitoring.
1) Alden Estates of Evanston – 2520 Gross Point Road
a. Geared toward providing therapy and rehabilitation after surgery
b. Condition and progress monitored 24/7
c. Website: http://www.aldenestatesofevanston.com/
2) King Home – 1555 Oak Avenue
a. Website indicates that the facility provides skilled care and professional nursing
staff on duty on each floor 24-hours a day
b. Also provides restorative nursing for those who are going through a rehabilitation
process
c. Website: http://tentwentygrove.org/
3) Westminster Place – 3200 Grant Street
a. Registered nurses are on duty on each floor, 24-hours a day
b. Website: http://westminsterplace.org/
4) Three Crown’s Park – 2323 McDaniel Avenue
a. One component of the facility is a 24-hour a day skilled care home
b. Website: http://www.threecrownspark.com/
The residents of the proposed Project do not require the level of care such that a registered nurse
must be present twenty-four (24) hours a day. The facility will have a registered nurse on staff,
but the nurse is not required by the State of Illinois licensing standards for Assisted Living
Facilities and the nurse will not be on site twenty-four (24) hours a day.
The level of care that is required by the residents of the Project also demonstrates that its
residents will be readily able to take advantage of the nearby services and businesses in
Evanston. Every Assisted Living Facility we are aware of provides transportation services to take
573 of 620
July 20, 2016
Page 3 of 5
residents not only to doctor’s appointments, but also to the library, pharmacies, grocery stores,
and other retail establishments. The reason residents choose to live in these facilities mainly
centers around support in certain categories of daily living, and most importantly, their comfort.
The proposed Project will provide its residents the comfort of knowing that they will not be
alone, especially in an emergency situation. It is fundamentally a different use from the Sheltered
Care Use, which is designed to accommodate residents who require 24-hour supervisions and/or
medical care.
For these reasons the proposed Project is an Assisted Living Facility, both under State law and
under Evanston’s Zoning Ordinance.
Thank you for your continued consideration of the Project. Please feel free to contact my office
should you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
Thompson Coburn, LLP

RE: Statement Regarding Independent Living, Assisted Living, Assisted Living for Cognitive
Impairment and Memory Care Components of the Proposed Planned Development at
1815 Oak Avenue
Dear Ms. Klotz:
Please find attached hereto as Exhibit A a statement regarding Independent Living, Assisted
Living, Assisted Living for Cognitive Impairment and Memory Care Components of the
Proposed Planned Development at 1815 Oak Avenue (the “Project”).
As stated in the statement, all of the components of the Project are licensed under the same State
Licensing category (Assisted Living Establishment). The different categories identified are ways
the operator distinguishes the slightly different levels of care provided for each component and
are not statutory distinctions.
In Assisted Living Facilities, state statute requires that residents with cognitive impairment have
access to staff that is qualified to tend to their unique needs. However, such staff are not medical
professionals. State statute also requires that the facility provide activities for these residents that
will ensure cognitive stimulation. Otherwise care for residents in Assisted Living with Cognitive
Impairment requires the same mandatory services (listed specifically in the attached statement)
that is required for the residents of the Project’s Assisted Living component.
The Memory Care floor, in addition to featuring those services required for residents of the
Assisted Living with Cognitive Impairment component of the Project, must also be locked
down/secure to protect residents who may have a tendency to wander.
Thank you for your continued consideration of this Application. Should you require any further
information, please contact my office.
Very truly yours,
Thompson Coburn, LLP

Statement Regarding Independent Living, Assisted Living, Assisted Living for Cognitive
Impairment and Memory Care Components of the Proposed Planned Development at 1815
Oak Avenue (the “Project”)
The Proposed Use will feature four different categories of residences: I) Independent living; II)
Assisted Living; III) Assisted Living Cognitive Impairment and IV) Memory Care. But for the
Independent Living use, which does not require state licensure, all of the above referenced
categories of supportive living are covered under an Assisted Living Establishment license
issued by the State of Illinois Department of Public Health. The Categories all fall under the
umbrella of an Assisted Living Establishment. The licensure is governed by Illinois Law,
specifically Section 210, Chapter 9 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes and further regulations for
such facilities are set forth in detail in Title 77, Chapter 1, Subchapter c, Part 295 of the Illinois
Administrative Code.
The following discusses the differences among the four above-referenced unit types:
I) Independent Living Facility
The proposed Independent Living use, proposed for the top two floors of the Project, does not
require a license at the state or municipal level. The use will be limited only by the definition of
the use as set forth in the City of Evanston Zoning Ordinance (the “EZO”). This age-restrictive
use permits the provision of the following services for residents: meals, transportation,
housekeeping and opportunities for socialization. This is precisely what will be available to the
residents of the Independent Living component of the Project.
II) Assisted Living Establishment
Assisted Living Establishments are defined In the Illinois Administrative Code as follows:
Assisted living establishment or establishment – a home, building, residence, or any other place
where sleeping accommodations are provided for at least three unrelated adults, at least 80% of
whom are 55 years of age or older and where the following are provided consistent with
the purposes of the Act:
services consistent with a social model that is based on the premise that the resident's unit in
assisted living and shared housing is his or her own home; community-based residential care for
persons who need assistance with activities of daily living, including personal, supportive, and
intermittent health-related services available 24 hours per day, if needed, to meet the scheduled
and unscheduled needs of a resident;
mandatory services, whether provided directly by the establishment or by another entity
arranged for by the establishment, with the consent of the resident or resident's representative;
and
578 of 620
- 2 -
a physical environment that is a homelike setting that includes the following and such other
elements as established by the Department: individual living units each of which shall
accommodate small kitchen appliances and contain private bathing, washing, and toilet
facilities, or private washing and toilet facilities with a common bathing room readily accessible
to each resident. Units shall be maintained for single occupancy except in cases in which 2
residents choose to share a unit. Sufficient common space shall exist to permit individual and
group activities.
(Title 77, Chapter 1, Subchapter c, Part 295, Section 200 of the Illinois Administrative Code)
The Mandatory Services required are as follows:
a) Three meals per day available to the residents, prepared by the establishment or
an outside contractor;
b) Housekeeping services including, but not limited to, vacuuming, dusting, and
cleaning the resident's unit;
c) Personal laundry and linen services available to the residents, provided or
arranged for by the establishment;
d) Security provided 24 hours each day including, but not limited to, locked
entrances or building or contract security personnel;
e) An emergency communication response system, which is a procedure in place 24
hours each day by which a resident can notify building management, an
emergency response vendor, or others able to respond to his or her need for
assistance; and
f) Assistance with activities of daily living as required by each resident.
Assisted Living Establishments do not provide for on-site medical care by skilled medical
professionals. Such care requires different licensure in Illinois. Additionally, Assisted Living
Establishments are permitted by Illinois law to provide care to residents with cognitive
impairment or Alzheimer’s (210 9/150).
III) Assisted Living for Cognitive Impairment
Under the Illinois Administrative Code, the Assisted Living use for Cognitive Impairment also
falls under the same definition and the same licensure as the general Assisted Living Category.
The primary difference between the two unit types is that no cooktops will be provided in the
kitchenettes of those residents who suffer from cognitive to prevent any risk of injury or fire.
Otherwise, the level of care provided will be very similar to that described above. It will differ
slightly in that staff serving this section of the Project will be qualified to address residents with
cognitive issues and residents will have a private dining room to create a familiar community
setting.
579 of 620
- 3 -
The main difference between this type of unit and the Memory Care unit is that residents with
cognitive impairment will have less severe symptoms of dementia than those in the Memory
Care Units.
IV) Memory Care
The Memory Care portion of the Project will serve those residents with more severe cognitive
impairment than those living in the Assisted Living with Cognitive Impairment floors. In
addition to the above described attributes, the Memory Care component will be secure to protect
those residents who may be prone to wander as required by Illinois law.

Plan Commission Minutes 3/9/2016
from C2 Commercial to D4 Downtown Transition District and Special
Use for Assisted and Independent Living facilities to construct an 11-
story, 165-unit senior living residential building consisting of 140-
dwelling units, 25 memory care rooms and 70 parking spaces. The
applicant seeks one site development allowance for the proposed
number of dwelling units (140 where 84 is the maximum allowed). In
addition, the applicant may seek and the Plan Commission may
consider additional Site Development Allowances as may be
necessary or desirable for the proposed development.
Mr. Bernard Citron of Thompson Coburn LLP provided an introduction to the project.
Mr. Michael McLean followed, describing details of the site and proposed
development including the proposed address change from 1815 Ridge Avenue to
1815 Oak Avenue, streetscape improvements in the surrounding area and public
benefits.
Ms. Jones provided a summary of the project characteristics and stated that staff’s
recommendation was to approve the proposed project subject to the conditions
specified in the staff report.
Commissioner Goddard asked if there had been any estimates on the amount of
property taxes the development would create. Mr. McLean replied that calculations
will be completed in the near future and added that since the project is a for-profit
entity, it would not have any tax exempt status.
Commissioner Lewis asked if an operator had been chosen. Mr. McLean stated that
a third party operator will be brought in to manage the facility and finalists are being
interviewed. A final choice for the operator is expected to be announced prior to City
Council review.
Commissioner Belisle asked if there were any plans to alleviate effects of the
adjacent Metra rail on noise. Mr. McLean responded that there are features for the
gardens which would provide protection against noise at that level and the building
design is set back at residential levels to mitigate those effects.
Commissioner Goddard expressed concern regarding the parking available given the
number of units and employees. Mr. McLean replied that the required parking is
actually higher than standard and the development team believes parking will be
sufficient for the number of employees expected. Public transportation use will be
incentivized for employees and transportation options will be available for residents to
surrounding amenities with a valet service possible. Mr. McLean added that access to
parking spaces will have an associated fee. Mr. Lewis asked about the small turning
radius and how that would be addressed and a brief discussion followed on the use
of the garage to aid in traffic circulation.
Commissioner Belisle asked if there is expectation of site contamination. Mr. McLea n
responded that testing has been done, no contamination had been found and a “No
Further Remediation” letter is being pursued from the IEPA.

Chairman Ford asked if the Independent Living residents will solely rent their units.
Mr. McLean stated that renters are required to utilize various amenities such as
cleaning, meals, etc. There will be a month-to-month leasing option for residents.
There would be local licensing required in addition to state and federal licensing.
Chairman Ford asked if the distances to transportation and amenities was measured
by city blocks or a straight line from the site. Commissioner Lewis then asked about
statistics on car ownership for this use. Carlos Salvador, KLOA, stated that there are
studies that provide statistics showing that the levels of care and average age of
intended residents dictate that there will be a lower amount of vehicle use.
Commissioner Brown asked if there is intention to hire an acoustical consultant to
conduct sound mitigation into the building. Mr. McLean stated that there are no plans
but the development team has done prior transit oriented developments and the
current project would meet similar standards.
Commissioner Goddard inquired if the applicant had reached out to the church to the
south to possibly come up with a parking solution. Mr. McLean stated that he had met
several times with Church members regarding a number of items including
construction parking, overflow parking and parking lot improvements for the church
but no resolution has been determined.
Chairman Ford opened the public hearing for questions from the public.
Ms. Tina Paden, resident, inquired about the applicant’s plan to use part of the
church property then inquired about rent pricing, local hiring process, bicycle parking,
access for fire trucks and if the updated Emerson-Ridge-Green Bay intersection
updates were taken into consideration with the traffic study. Mr. McLean stated that
there are plans to possibly utilize part of the church’s property to instal l a new
sidewalk and that the development team continues to have discussions with City staff
to ensure requirements are met for the development. The rents had not been set at
the time of the meeting.
Ms. Carolyn Buford, resident, inquired about affordable housing in the development
and typical unit size. Mr. McLean stated that the affordable units will include both rent
for the unit and amenities that are provided as part of the development. One
bedrooms are 700 - 800 square feet.
Ms. Abby Polonsky, resident, inquired about the increased use of emergency
vehicles for this type of facility proposed. Mr. McLean stated that based on the use, a
large increase in the need for emergency vehicles is highly likely. There will be efforts
made to reduce the need for need for emergency vehicles through private services
and health and wellness programs.
Roger Heuberger, resident, inquired about an initial project proposed for the site and
what the plan would be if the project as proposed does not work. Mr. McLean stated
that every effort will be made to keep a finished project successful. The use cannot
change without being revisited by the Commission and City Council approval.

Gwen Stein, resident, inquired about pedestrian access across Ridge Avenue. There
are no plans to add any crosswalks across Ridge as required by Public Works. Other
improvements will be made to encourage pedestrian access on Church, Clark and
Oak.
Debra Zarnow, resident, expressed concern about the alley access off of Ridge
Avenue and parking availability during certain times and events. Mr. McLean
responded by summarizing the upgrades being made to the alley and the building
design to discourage the use of the alley and redirect traffic. He also emphasized that
efforts will be made to alleviate the need for parking spaces for residents and
employees.
Vicki Siegelman, resident, inquired about the Emerson Ridge Green Bay project and
its effects on the proposed project and vice versa. Mr. Muenzer stated that the project
will be moving forward with construction commencing in spring. The developer will
continue to be in contact with City staff moving forward as plans are detailed and
revised.
Chairman Ford opened up the public hearing for public comment.
Robert Canizaro, resident, voiced concerns regarding the building design, specifically
the building height and number of units at the site, and possible precedent that could
be set.
Roger Heuberger expressed concern over the mobility of residents and their ability to
travel to the downtown area as well as the cost of and demand for parking in
comparable buildings.
Abby Polonsky and Daniel Spore, residents, presented a request for a continuance of
the public hearing. A brief discussion followed and it was agreed that the next
meeting would be held on Wednesday, April 6, 2016 where the public hearing would
continue.
Maria Paluselli, emphasized her concerns over noise from the Metra trains adjacent
to the tracks.
Debra Zarnow, expressed concern over blocked views and possible depressed
property values for properties across the street from the proposed project.
Tina Paden stated that she believed the site is too small for the proposed
development and that parking and traffic are still concerns.
Carlis Sutton and Carolyn Buford both expressed concern about the lack of
affordable units in the development and the higher rental prices of similar
developments. There needs to be more attention paid to affordable living spaces for
senior residents. Ms. Buford also requested that rental rates for the units be shared.
David Baldwin, resident, stated that there may be a number of other visitors to the
building who are private caregivers and support staff who will also need parking.

Chairman Ford alerted the Commission and the public that Commissioner Brown had
recused himself due to possible business conflicts. He then stated that a continuance
had been granted and no additional continuance could be granted unless requested
from the Commission.
Mr. Daniel Spore, resident, was given the opportunity to present a PowerPoint
regarding the project. He then stated his opposition, siting excessive building height
and the building’s lack of proper context in the neighborhood.
Chairman Ford continued with the public hearing for public comment.
Adrian Levine, resident, expressed that parking is still a concern, not just for residents
but employees, caretakers and other visitors.
Christine Brady, resident, stated that the Grand Bend development on Ridge was
originally several stories taller and Plan Commission at that time decided against it.
She stated that there should be consistency with approved development in that area.
Victoria Ramos, resident, requested that a short video be presented detailing the
height and neighborhood context for the development. The video was then shown.
Gwen Stein, resident, stated that she does not object to the proposed use but would
prefer that development not exceed the height of surrounding buildings.
Lisa Rose, resident, stated that the development is too dense and tall for the lot size.
Jessica Feldman, resident, stated that more should be known about a facility operator
and expressed concern over the developer not having more concrete plans for an
operator at this point in the project review.
Beth Canizaro, resident, stated that the building height and size is wrong for the
neighborhood. She then inquired about what would happens if the project does not
work, reiterating that she does not object to the use but the scale of the building.
David Hill, resident, expressed concern with the building with regards to the character
of the surrounding community.
Mr. McLean responded to the citizen comments, explaining that the height of the
building is within the community context, which includes the E2 development, and
that the proposed D4 zoning was felt to be more consistent with adjacent zoning in
the area. He continued stating similar facilities in Evanston have significant waiting
602 of 620

lists and that an operator for the proposed facility will be decided upon prior to the
City Council meeting. This will lend itself to specific programming for the facility. He
then emphasized changes that were made to aid in vehicle circulation and stated that
there will be a total of 127 parking spaces when the valet option is used and cars
parked in tandem for busier days such as holidays, alleviating potential parking
issues.
Ms. Jones then provided a summary of the project characteristics and reviewed the
standards of approval for the planned development, special use and map
amendment. She stated that staff recommends approval of the proposed project
subject to the conditions specified in the staff report.
Chairman Ford closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Dubin remarked as a point of clarification, that tax benefits are not
included in the consideration of benefits by the Plan Commission.
Commissioner Lewis inquired about the stability of the site with regards to gra de
changes then asked for more information regarding previous use and zoning of the
site and residences across Ridge Avenue. Ms. Jones responded to the zoning
question, stating that the site has been zoned C2 commercial for some time likely due
to previously existing uses and that no recent rezoning had occurred at the site. Mr.
Latinovic confirmed the zoning for the residences across from the development site
along Ridge Avenue were zoned O1- Office which allows dwelling units as a special
use and the Grand Bend development was zoned R5 General Residential. Mr.
McLean then explained that the grading for the site will match the sidewalk along
Ridge Avenue.
Commissioner Ford asked what stormwater run-off systems will be in place. Mr.
McLean responded that there will be retention system below the parking area on site.
Commissioner Dubin inquired why there was a large amount of bicycle parking. Mr.
McLean clarified that the bicycle parking is mostly for the benefit of employees and
visitors.
Chairman Ford clarified that an operator will be chosen before City Council and that
an operator is more of an appropriate concern for the Council than for the Plan
Commission. Commissioner Pigozzi agreed. Mr. McLean indicated that a licensed
provider must be used in what will also be a licensed facility.
Commissioners Lewis and Pigozzi briefly discussed what they feel was an improved
design of the building.
Chairman Ford expressed that he was of two minds; he likes the proposed use for
the downtown zoning however he is uneasy about the scale of the development in its
proposed location.
Commissioner Lewis inquired about the requested density and emphasized the low
number of site development allowances being requested. Mr. Latinovic responded
that the development as presented is rare relating to the scale of the project and the
603 of 620
APPROVED
Page 4 of 5
Plan Commission Minutes 4/6/2016
number of allowances requested. He indicated that the smaller size of the units lends
itself to a greater number of units at the site and that the building fits the transitional
nature of the proposed zoning.
Chairman Ford stated that the zoning change from C2 to D4 was substantial in
addition to the single allowance request. Mr. Latinovic responded that the project
went through significant review to determine the best zoning district for the site that
would fit the scale of the surrounding neighborhood.
Commissioner Lewis expressed that the development itself acts as a community and
he wondered if lowering the number of floors and residents within would still enable
this community to work.
Commissioner Pigozzi stated that the proposed development is one of the last
parcels that are reasonably available in the downtown area and being adjacent to the
train tracks can make the parcel more difficult to develop. He continued, agreeing that
the proposed project is a good use given the waiting lists of similar facilities.
Commissioner Pigozzi finished by stating that the height fits within the zoning code
and that the “bowl” affect believed to be introduced by this development can actually
be created by a number of things including major arterials and transit lines. A brief
discussion followed with Commissioner Belisle and Commissioner Dubin commenting
regarding the height.
Chairman Ford asked for a motion on the finding of facts and standards for approval.
Commissioner Pigozzi made a motion to approve the development with the
conditions as listed in the staff memo as well as approve the findings of facts that the
standards for the map amendment, special use and planned development have been
met. Commissioner Lewis seconded the motion.
Commissioner Goddard requested that a condition be added that the operator for the
facility be confirmed prior to City Council. She made a motion to include the additional
condition. Commissioner Lewis seconded the motion. A voice vote was taken and the
motion was approved, 4-2.
A roll call vote was then taken on the amended motion to approve. The motion was
approved 4-2.

Employee Transportation Policy
Policy:
Ridge Assisted Living (RAL) assists employees with getting to work on time to provide needed
services to our residents and to respect other team members that need to leave after their shifts.
RAL has an individualized commuter plan with parking options, transit routes from their home,
recommended bike routes and trails, and ridesharing options. We also want to minimize the
negative impacts to those who own vehicles such as securing limited parking, having expenses of
car ownership or other expensive or cumbersome efforts related to driving your own vehicle to
work.
We understand those who prefer to utilize their personal vehicle instead of using alternate means
of transportation is because they fear if an event of a sudden illness, accident or emergency occurs,
they will not be able to leave right away. RAL has implemented an Emergency Ride Home
program where the community will provide transportation services via community bus, Uber, taxi
cab, etc. to ensure those employees utilizing one of the options listed below can be transported
immediately to their ideal location within a 3-mile radius. The employee’s supervisor has full
discretion when it comes to defining an actual illness, accident or emergency.
Since RAL has limited parking options and will only be able to accommodate to those employees
who are required to drive for company purposes related to marketing, nursing assessments, and
other administrative or management tasks and responsibilities. To meet all of these goals, Ridge
Assisted Living is offering the following options for those employees that are not required to drive
for company purposes:
1. Metro pass/bus pass: RAL will provide $_____ or vouchers for transit passes at the beginning
of each month to all full time employees who wish to utilize this option of transportation.
2. Community Bus: RAL will provide a bus schedule for the RAL community bus that will be
available to pick-up or drop off employees that park or live within a 3-mile radius per the bus
schedule. Please see RAL concierge for an updated bus schedule and pick-up/drop-off
locations which will be posted monthly.
3. Carpooling: RAL's concierge will be available to assist with implementing a carpooling
schedule for employees.
4. Biking:
a. RAL does have designated bike parking for employees in the parking garage, employees
are responsible for securing their personal bike.
b. RAL also has a bike sharing program. If interested in the bike sharing program, please see
your Administrator.

For City Council meeting of July 25, 2016 Item O1
Ordinance 77-O-16: Establishment of the Housing, Homelessness and Human
Relations Commission
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Kimberly Richardson, Assistant to the City Manager
Wally Bobkiewicz, City Manager
Subject: Ordinance 77-O-16, Amending the City Code to Establish the Housing,
Homelessness and Human Relations Commission
Date: July 12, 2016
Recommended Action:
The Rules Committee and staff recommend City Council adopt Ordinance 77-O-16,
which amends the City Code to merge the Housing and Homelessness Commission,
Human Relations Commission and ADA Advisory Committee into the Housing,
Homelessness and Human Relations Commission.
Background:
This Ordinance consolidates the Human Relations Commission, the ADA Advisory
Committee, and the Housing and Homelessness Commission to more effectively and
efficiently utilize the City’s resources. The City of Evanston has a Human Relations
Commission whose primary function is to improve the human relations within the City;
an ADA Advisory Committee that advises the City in pursuing its ongoing commitment
to make the City and its programs, services, and activities accessible to all individuals,
including individuals with disabilities; and a Housing and Homelessness Commission
that is responsive to the needs for change in housing related matter to the end of
maintaining a diverse residential environment and to conserve property values within
the community and combat homelessness.
Legislative History:

AN ORDINANCE
Amending Portions of the City Code Creating a
“Housing, Homelessness, and Human Relations Commission”
NOW BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EVANSTON, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, THAT:
SECTION 1: Legislative Statement. This Ordinance consolidates the Human
Relations Commission, the ADA Advisory Committee, and the Housing and
Homelessness Commission to more effectively and efficiently utilize the City’s
resources. The City of Evanston has a Human Relations Commission whose primary
function is to improve the human relations within the City; an ADA Advisory Committee
that advises the City in pursuing its ongoing commitment to make the City and its
programs, services, and activities accessible to all individuals, including individuals with
disabilities; and a Housing and Homelessness Commission that is responsive to the
needs for change in housing related matters to the end of maintaining a diverse
residential environment and to conserve property values within the community and
combat homelessness. The City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the
City to combine all three boards and commissions into a Housing, Homelessness, and
Human Relations Commission.
Article VII, Section (6)a of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, which states that the
“powers and functions of home rule units shall be construed liberally,” was written “with
the intention that home rule units be given the broadest powers possible” (Scadron v.
City of Des Plaines, 153 Ill.2d 164). Pursuant to 65 ILCS 5/1-2-1, the City may make all
610 of 620

~2~
rules and regulations to carry into effect the powers granted to the City, such broad and
general grant of authority complementing the City’s home rule powers. At meetings held
in compliance with the provisions of the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/1 et seq.),
the City Council considered this Ordinance, heard public comment, and made
findings. It is well-settled law in Illinois that the legislative judgment of the City Council
must be considered presumptively valid (see Glenview State Bank v. Village of
Deerfield, 213 Ill.App.3d 747(1991)) and is not subject to courtroom fact-finding (see
National Paint & Coating Ass’n v. City of Chicago, 45 F.3d 1124 (1995)).
The City Council finds that creating a more efficient and effective local
government by reducing the number of boards and commissions while maintaining high
standards are a priority within the City of Evanston. The City Council desires to amend
the City Code to combine the functions of the Human Relations Commission, ADA
Advisory Committee and the Housing and Homelessness Commission into a newly
established Housing, Homelessness, and Human Relations Commission.
SECTION 2: Title 2, Chapter 4 of the Evanston City Code of 2012, as
amended (“City Code”), is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall read as follows:
