Jeff Smith, 2724 Harrison stated he had two issues: 1) He agreed with Mr. Rizki’s
Analysis and the over budget, he supports the arts, but cannot sign off on this proposal;
2) The Chicago/Main TIFF does not generate money from nowhere, it takes funds from

Cheese Bar”, stated 1) the owners had no equity, and 2) the City gave the tenants the
Money. He also stated the City is not doing anything for the public.

death of her son, and she expressed her disappointment with not receiving a return call
from City Manager Mr. Bobkiewicz. She also stated there have been no follow-up reports
or information concerning her son’s death. She also gave a warning “if a strategic plan is
not considered to combat this violence in this town, Antoine Hill will be getting out soon
and it will be getting warm, and violence increases when it gets warm”.
Rina Campbell, 1527 Crawford Street had two questions: 1) What is the response time
after the reports of gun shots to the Police?, and 2) Is there a program for families of after
an act of violence is committed? “She stated the reports stating the violence in Evanston
is between two families, but this is not true, it is a community problem, and the City must
take the lead on abolishing the violence. She finally announced the various programs that
are being offered and we need to be part of the solution and not the problem”.
City Manager Bobkiwiecz asked the Mayor if she would allow Police Deputy Chief,
Jeff Jamraz to give a follow-up to questions that were raised Deputy Chief Jamraz. The
Deputy Chief stated: 1) Shots fired is a priority 1 call and on the scene within, 2) Those
families are contacted by that evening or the next day.
BK Rao, 2246 Sherman a letter was read by Padma Rao in her mother’s absence. The

their own rules of conduct during the open meetings and especially during citizen’s

Mayor Tisdahl called upon Mr. Farrar, City Counsel to expound on a comment Ms. Rao
had made. Ms. Rao then vehemently stated the Mayor had no right to ask Mr. Farrar to
respond to her comments, because the Council rules states there is no responding to the
citizen during citizen comment.
John Bamberg, Sr., 1930 Grey asked if an investigation against the Police Department
had been initiated, and the Mayor asked the City Manager, who then asked Deputy Chief
Jamraz who all answered in the negative, Mr. Bamberg continued by the saying, “the
community is watching and if they don’t see you doing anything just know how they will
be looking at you in this situation”. He also stated this room will be filled with their family

unanimously approved.
(A3.1) Approval of Agreement with Carollo Engineers for 48-inch Diameter Water
Intake Improvements (RFP 12-113)
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an
agreement for engineering services for the 48-inch diameter water intake
improvements project with Carollo Engineers (2332 Woodlawn Road,
Northbrook, IL) in the not-to-exceed amount of $159,983. Funding is
provided by the Water Fund, Capital Improvement Account 733074, which
has a FY 2013 budget allocation of $1,370,000.
Ald. Braithwaite noted that the company chosen was not the lowest bid. There is
a $54,000 difference in bids but only a six point difference in scoring. He stated
that he was curious how six points add up to $54,000. Dave Stoneback
(Director of Utilities) said that the company getting the highest score is offered
the job. He further stated that cost is only one of the areas rated for selection. In
the case of B & W, Inc. though good in price they had no experience with in-take
larger diameter pipes.

A voice vote was taken and A3.4 was unanimously approved.
(A3.5) Approval of Contract with Boller Construction for Theater Construction at
727 / 729 Howard Street (City Lit)
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
execute a contract for the construction of a theater at 727/729 Howard
Street in the amount of $1,655,000 with Boller Construction Company (3045
Washington Street, Waukegan, IL). Staff also recommends that the City
Manager be authorized to finalize a lease-to-own agreement with City Lit
Theater (1020 West Bryn Mawr, Chicago, IL) in order to provide a review
and approval procedure for any tenant improvements that may be
undertaken for City Lit by Boller Construction and finalize terms of the
lease-to-own. Funding is provided through the initial use of the Line of
Credit issued from First Bank and Trust and approved by the City Council
on August 13, 2012 for $2.2 million, which is split between the Howard
Ridge TIF ($900,000) and the West Evanston TIF ($1.2 million).
Junad Rizki, Evanston resident, spoke against this contract. He opened by
saying that the City Lit theater was presented to the Council at under $800,000
and it is now over two million, probably including the cost of the building. He
thought it ridiculous to buy a building for two million. This is a lease deal that is a
give away of tax dollars approaching two million. The City Lit Theater cannot pay
back the City. So, how much is a free grant he asked? Where are we going to
get the money? Financing it on the future of a TIF is risky. Also, he stated, there
are many other ways TIF funds could be used such as infrastructure. Plus, how
can this be voted on when the City Manager is not through negotiating the lease
with a tenant? Is this a sensible way to do business, I don’t think so. How about
a real deal. Show us the real financials. Show how these TIF Districts can
absorb these costs. Show us how much of our tax dollars you are going to give
away. Continuing, he reminded the Committee that the City received a $50,000
25 of 551
Page 4 of 5
Rev. 1/24/2013 9:23:34 AM
grant to look at theaters downtown, but this will put all the money into one
project. This does not show good planning. Other theater groups should have
been involved. He concluded by saying that this is just a waste of time. Chair
Grover thanked Mr. Rizki for his input.
Stephen Griffin (Director Community and Economic Development) said that the
City undertook this project in conjunction with other efforts to revitalize Howard
Street. We are currently negotiating with a restaurant for that area. The theater
is to be the hub on Howard Street. Yes, the costs have escalated by one million
dollars. Presently this is like building a City facility and City Lit will lease the
facility. Tonight’s item is for consideration of the construction of a theater on
Howard Street. This can be financed out of the Howard Ridge TIF. We need to
finalize this within four weeks. Wally Bobkiewicz (City Manager) mentioned that
this item was brought to the City early on looking for a partner. The success of
Ward 8 and a restaurant going in speaks to the future success. But, he said, to
develop a neighborhood or street means taking risks. These numbers are larger
than expected but they will allow Howard Street to stand on its own two feet.
This is why TIF’s are created. Ald. Burrus asked if we give two million dollars,
how much would the lease need to be per month to cover our costs. S. Griffin
said that he did not know but he mentioned that the original lease plan from
inception was not to cover 100% of the cost of construction and acquisition. Ald.
Burrus asked how much money is now available in the Howard Ridge TIF.
Martin Lyons (Assistant City Manager/Treasurer) said the beginning balance for
2012 was just under 1.3 million dollars. $640,000 is the projected tax increment
in 2013. Most though is assigned to another development project already in
place. Ald. Burrus asked how much a line of credit costs the City to which M.
Lyons replied, the sum of the monthly investment rate plus one percent. The City
is at approximately 1.5 and 2%. Ald. Burrus asked how much is currently owed in
outstanding bond debt. M. Lyons said he would have to look it up. Ald. Grover
stated that since the cost has exceeded the initial request, she wondered if City
Lit would be able to handle the increase. S. Griffin replied that City Lit does not
believe it is feasible for them to buy the whole structure. Ald. Grover asked if it
made sense to undertake this work if there was not a partner locked in. W.
Bobkiewicz said that there are too many opportunities. We need to move
forward with renovations. If we cannot come to terms with City Lit, then someone
else will come along. Ald. Rainey stated that she had been involved with the
approval of TIFs for a number of years. Experience shows that if bonding is
done, we have success. Howard Hartrey is an example of it working. Howard
Street is going now with Ward 8 and a new restaurant. If City Lit can’t pull this
off, shame on them. Ald. Burrus told the committee that she is not anti-TIF. Her
issue is that it came in at $600,000 and now it at 1.6 million for which we do not
have a tenant who can buy it. I cannot support 1.6 million for one item. There
are other ways to generate business. Ald. Holmes said that she will support it.
She stated that we should not stop now. The escalating cost is alarming she
said but she believes staff is wise enough as is City Lit to make a go of it. Ald.
Grover said she’ll support sending this item on to the full Council. She also
asked if anyone knew what is happening in Chicago, opposite the site. How
does this fit in with our theater and arts in Evanston plan she also asked. W.

From: Douglas J. Gaynor, Director, Parks, Recreation & Community Services
Paul D’Agostino, Superintendent Parks/Forestry & Facilities
Stefanie Levine, Assistant Superintendent Parks/Forestry & Facilities
Subject: Contract Award Recommendation to G.A. Johnson & Son for the 2013
Parking Garage Roof Project, Bid #12-173
Date: January 28, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for
the 2013 Parking Garage Roof Project at the Church Street Garage and the Maple
Avenue Garage with G.A. Johnson & Son located at 828 Foster Street, Evanston,
Illinois 60201, in the amount of $ 218,000.00.
Funding Source:
FY 2013 Parking Fund Account No. 700509: $680,000
FY 2013 Parking Fund Account No. 700510: $330,000
Summary:
In order to maintain the existing garages and to provide better safety measures, repairs
and modifications need to be made to some components of the Church Street Self-Park
located at 525 Church Street and the Maple Avenue Self-Park located at 1800 Maple
Avenue. The following are the items that the City will pursue in this project:
1. Based on the deteriorated roof condition and estimated age, the existing
ballasted roof system on the north and south canopies, the north and south end
garage roofs and the stair tower roofs at the Church Street Garage will be
removed and replaced.
2. In order to provide safer serviceability to the roof top mechanical equipment on
both elevator/stair towers at the Maple Avenue Garage, modifications will be
made to allow for safer direct rooftop access including new roof hatches, ladders
and safety railings.
Memorandum
59 of 551
As this design work required the expertise of an architectural consultant, the City hired
Behles + Behles, a consulting firm, to help correct this deficiency in spring 2012. The
City asked Behles + Behles to explore different roof systems including an option for
green vegetative roof elements. Bidding documents therefore included Alternate 1 to
install a vegetated roof system on the 6 th Floor north and south roofs of the Church
Street Garage in lieu of a base bid loose laid roof system at those locations.
On November 8, 2012 the City issued bid documents for the project and on January 8
2013 the City received and publicly read three (3) bids. Bid results were as follows:
Due to the high cost of vegetative roof installation as well as anticipated ongoing costs
associated with plant and irrigation system maintenance, staff recommends that only
the base bid be awarded and that Alternate 1 not be pursued. G.A. Johnson & Son, an
Evanston Based Business (EBE), has provided a base bid within 5% of G.E. Riddiford
Company’s (apparent low bidder) base bid. Based on the City’s local preference policy,
staff therefore recommends approval of this project to G.A. Johnson & Son for the lump
sum amount of $218,000.00. G.A. Johnson & Son has successfully performed
numerous construction projects for the City of Evanston over the past five years. G.A.
Johnson & Son is in compliance with the City’s M/W/EBE goals (please see attached
memorandum for additional information).
A breakdown of Parking Fund account 700509 and 700510 is as follows:
Account Summary

Business of the City by Motion: 2013 Fuel Purchases
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Suzette Robinson, Director of Public Works
Lonnie Jeschke, Manager Fleet Services
Subject: Approval of 2013 Fuel Purchases
Date: January 8, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval for the twelve (12) months of Fiscal Year 2013 fuel
purchases in the amount of $950,000 from Palatine Oil Company Incorporated (900
National Parkway, Suite 260, Schaumburg, IL). Palatine Oil Company is the Northwest
Municipal Conference Bid Suburban Purchasing Cooperative winner for all grades and
types of fuels that are utilized by city vehicles assigned to various departments.
Funding Source:
Funding is provided by the Fleet Services Major Maintenance Budget for Automotive
Equipment (7710.65035) for Fiscal Year 2013. The budget has an approved amount of
$1,020,000.00 of which $950,000 has been allocated for these types of fuel purchases
for the fiscal year.
Fiscal Year 2012 fuel purchases for the various grades and types of fuel utilized by city
vehicles was $988,661.03 Present fuel prices are $2.83/gallon for 87 octane gasoline
and $3.51/gallon for bio-diesel, whereas, last year’s fuel prices in this same time period
were $3.07/gallon for 87 octane gasoline and $3.62/gallon for bio-diesel. The unit price
for fuels is variable based on daily market conditions and the published Oil Price
Information Service (OPIS) and is the low quote for the day of delivery. This is what 134
municipalities who partake in this service pay based on quantity discounts of all
participating communities combined volumes of fuel.
Summary:
The Fleet Services Division of the Public Works Department has been purchasing fuels
through the Northwest Municipal Conference Suburban Purchasing Cooperative for
many years and has found the pricing structure to be very advantageous and in the best
interest of the City of Evanston.
Memorandum
79 of 551
There are no Evanston-based businesses that can provide these types of bulk
deliveries of various types of fuel.
Therefore, staff recommends City Council approval for Fleet Services to continue to
purchase bulk fuel deliveries through this conference bid award for the next twelve (12)
months.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Members of the Administration & Public Works Committee
From: Suzette Robinson, Director of Public Works
Leslie Perez, Business Office Coordinator
Subject: Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) Disposal Fees
for FY 2013
Date: January 14, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of the 2013 refuse disposal fees to Solid Waste Agency of
Northern Cook County (SWANCC) not to exceed the amounts of $83,300 for capital
costs, $1,000,000 for operations and maintenance and $40,000 in recycling transfer
fees.
Funding Source:
Funding will be provided by the Solid Waste Fund Accounts, 7685.68310 (capital costs
with a FY2013 budget of $83,300); 7685.62405 (operations and maintenance costs with
a budget of $1,000,000); and 7690.62415 (recycling costs with a budget of $40,000).
Summary:
In 1992, the City of Evanston entered into an intergovernmental agreement with twenty
five (25) north and northwest suburban Cook County municipalities creating SWANCC
to provide an efficient and environmentally sound municipal waste disposal system.
Under this use agreement, the City is required to make certain payments to SWANCC
for capital, operations, and maintenance and disposal costs for the collection,
transportation and disposal of municipal waste generated within the City of Evanston.
The use agreement breaks the costs into two categories: Operations and Maintenance
(O&M) Costs and Fixed Costs. Each member’s allocable share of O&M cos ts is
calculated by dividing the amount of waste the member actually delivered by the total
amount of waste the Agency received. Fixed costs cover SWANCC’s capital
improvement costs and bond payments. The figure is based on SWANCC’s actual debt
obligations divided among the member communities.
The contract requires the City take its residential waste from single family homes to
SWANCC. As a result, the City pays the cost of the residential refuse that Groot collects
Memorandum
82 of 551
Page 2 of 2
under contract. If the City generates more or less waste than what was estimated,
SWANCC will provide the City with a credit or debit. Staff used the previous year’s
numbers to estimate the annual costs for this fiscal year. Staff’s estimate and the lower
garbage volumes have resulted in modest credits for the last five years.

From: Suzette Robinson, Director of Public Works
Homayoon Pirooz, P.E., Engineering Division Manager
Rajeev Dahal, Senior Traffic Engineer
Subject: Sole Source Purchase of Tallmadge Street Light Poles
Date: January 17, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approval for the purchase of seven (7) Union Metal
Tallmadge street light poles and supplies from Graybar Electric (900 Regency Drive,
Glendale Heights, Illinois 60139-6283) in the amount of $40,963.06 for the AMLI
development streetscape (631-749 Chicago Avenue) pursuant to the 2008 Planned
Development No. 08PLND-0083 (Ordinance 130-O-08).
Funding Source:
Funding for this purchase will be from the Community and Economic Development
account 2105.65515 which has a budget of $50,000.00
Summary
In 2008 the City Council approved AMLI's muti-famliy residential and commercial mixed
use development. In the development ordinance, AMLI agreed to restore the Public’s
Rights of Way at the construction site in a condition compatible with the streetscape
plans along Chicago Ave. At subsequent meetings with staff, AMLI requested that the
City supply the necessary streetlights poles and parts and AMLI would pay for a
contractor to install them. Since the request was consistent with other development
agreements, staff included a line item in the 2013 budget to fund the purchase of the
streetlights. The streetscape plan at the AMLI’s site will replace the existing Davit type
streetlights with the decorative Tallmadge streetlights.
In 1981, the City Council selected the Union Metal Tallmadge streetlight as the standard
light for Evanston’s neighborhood streets. Union Metal products are distrib uted by
Graybar Electric of Glendale Heights, Illinois. Union Metal has been fabricating and
supplying the Evanston Tallmadge streetlights to the City for 31 years. They have
performed satisfactorily on previous orders for the City of Evanston.

Business of the City by Motion: Concrete Inspection Change Order 2
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: David Stoneback, Director of Utilities
Lara Biggs, Superintendent of Construction & Field Services
Subject: Approval of Change Order No. 2 for Inspection of the 1934 Reservoir
and 1948 Settling Basins at the Water Treatment Facility (RFP 12-158)
Date: December 18, 2012
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order
No. 2 to agreement with CTL Group (5400 Old Orchard Road, Skokie, IL) for the
Inspection of the 1934 Reservoir and 1948 Settling Basins at the Evanston Water
Treatment Facility (RFP 12-158). The Change Order would increase the agreement
amount by $20,000 and extend the completion date to December 31, 2013.
Funding Source:
This is an un-funded expense that will be charged to the Water Fund General Support
Account 7100.62180. It is anticipated that capital outlay and capital improvement
projects scheduled in 2013 will be completed under budget and that these cost savings
will provide the funding.
Background:
The City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with CTL for the
above work in the amount of $89,000 on September 24, 2012. CTL completed the
inspection of the 1934 reservoir and 1948 settling basins in October 2012 and submitted
a draft report on their condition in November 2012. The 1948 settling basins appeared
to be in generally good condition with no significant deterioration or distress observed.
The walls and floor slab of the 1934 reservoir appeared to be in good condition with the
exception of some concrete scaling observed in the upper regions of the walls.
However, the roof slab of the reservoir is considered to be in very poor condition
attributed to repeated freezing and thawing of the non-air-entrained concrete while in a
saturated state. Air-entrained concrete did not exist at the time this structure was
constructed, and freeze-thaw damage, resulting from moisture freezing in concrete that
lacks an adequate air-void system, is common in this type of situation.
Memorandum
92 of 551
The condition of the 1934 reservoir roof slab needs to be addresssed. Extensive
internal surface-parallel cracking was observed in all of the concrete core samples
taken from the reservoir roof slab. This type of cracking has likely compromised the
load carrying capacity of the roof slab and as such, CTL has recommended interim
vehicle weight restrictions be imposed for the parking lot above the reservoir until
repairs of the reservoir roof slab are completed. Staff has advised Northwestern
University of the situation and has begun a discussion with them to implement the
proposed vehicle weight restriction.
The estimated cost for the reservoir roof replacement is $4,050,000. The water fund
capital improvement project five year list requests $500,000 in FY 2015 and $1,300,000
in both FY 2016 & 2017 for concrete structure rehabilitation.
Change Order No. 1, in the amount of $2,820 was executed to include the inspection of
the meter vault for the 48-inch diameter feeder main under Lincoln Street. This
structure was initially constructed in 1948 and modified in 1960. The inspection
revealed the need to replace a steel hanger rod that supports the 48-inch diameter
feeder main. CLT also recommended that the meter vault roof slab be inspected and
reevaluated in the near future.
Analysis:
CTL has recommended an annual inspection of the reservoir to determine the
deterioration rate of the roof slab. No prior detailed structural analysis of the reservoir
roof slab had been completed in the past, so there is no benchmark to compare the
current conditions against. Now that a benchmark of the condition has been
established, CTL recommends that an inspection be completed next October to
determine if repairs can be delayed until funding is programmed or if more immediate
action is required. The proposed future inspection would be completed by lowering the
water level in the reservoir to allow the inspection of the roof to be performed from an
inflatable boat.
CTL has provided a general cost breakdown for the 2013 inspection in the amount of
$20,000. Staff is therefore recommending a change order increasing the agreement
amount by $20,000, from $91,820 to $111,820 and extending the contract completion
date from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013.

Resolution 2-R-13: CMAQ Grant Application for Dodge Avenue Bike Lanes
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration & Public Works Committee
From: Suzette Robinson, Director of Public Works
Homayoon Pirooz, P.E., Engineering Division Manager
Sat Nagar, P.E., Senior Engineer
Subject: Resolution 2-R-13 for the Dodge Avenue Protected Bike Lanes
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ) Grant Application
Date: January 16, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2-R-13, which authorizes the City Manager to
submit a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ) application for the
Dodge Avenue Protected Bike Lanes, from Howard Street to Church Street.
Funding Source:
The preliminary cost for the project’s construction is estimated at $600,000. The CMAQ
fund may approve up to 80% of the project’s construction cost, or $480,000. The
remaining 20% of the construction cost or $120,000 will be the local share which must
be budgeted in the FY 2014 Capital Improvement Program.
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Fund $480,000
FY 2014 Capital Improvement Program $120,000
Discussion:
To date, the City of Evanston has successfully completed the Church Street protected
bike lanes from Dodge Ave to Chicago Ave, and has applied for the Illinois
Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP) fund for the Davis Street protected bike
lanes. The existing bike lanes at Dodge Avenue from Howard Street to Church Street
are located between the parking lanes and the automobile traffic lanes. The proposed
project will relocate the bike lanes to the curb lines and will place the parking lanes
between the traffic lanes and the new bike lanes. The scope of the project will also
include the purchase of additional bike racks and/or secure bike lockers to be placed
along the Dodge corridor near schools, commercial, recreation and retail areas.
Memorandum
96 of 551
Page 2 of 2
The proposed project will benefit commuters, students, and recreational bikers. The
addition of protected bike lanes on Dodge will provide a link between commuting
employees traversing the bike lanes on Howard Street to downtown Evanston or
Northwestern University via the protected lanes on Dodge and Church. It will also
provide a safer corridor for commuters on the south side of Evanston to the Davis Street
Transportation Center. The project provides a protected ride for students going to
Evanston Township High School or to Northwestern University. Finally the protected
bike lane will provide a way for families to access the west side of Evanston and the
Lakefront for recreational activities.
The CMAQ Program is a federally funded program administered by the Chicago
Metropolitan Planning Agency (CMAP). The program is design to support projects that
will mitigate congestion, such as signal synchronization and biking infrastructure. The
call for projects for 2013 requires the completion of Phase I and II to be eligible for
funding and this project meets the requirement. Staff plans to work this summer on
completing Phase I and Phase II for at least one signal modernization plan to be
prepared for the 2014 call for projects.

Resolution 3-R-13: Noyes Tenant Lease Agreements
For Action
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
FROM: Douglas J. Gaynor, Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director
Jeff Cory, Arts Council Director
RE: Resolution 3-R-13 authorizing the City Manager to execute 2013 lease
agreements with resident artists for studio spaces and the Theater at the
Noyes Cultural Arts Center
DATE: January 18, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 3-R-13 authorizing the City Manager to enter
into renewal lease agreements for resident artist leases, for terms less than two years,
for spaces at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center.
Financial:
Revenues will be deposited into a specific subfund for the Noyes Cultural Arts Center,
as described in Resolution 39-R-12.
Summary:
The studio leases are for terms ranging from six months to one year, as indicated on the
attached spreadsheet. The theater lease renewal is for year three of a three-year lease
term. The lease agreements for the resident artist studios and theater at the Noyes
Cultural Arts Center are adjustable annually to allow the option for fee increases and to
gain approval of the tenants’ current year community service proposals. The start date
on these leases is January 1, 2013. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 1-17-4-1
of the Evanston City Code of 2012, as amended, renewal leases for the four tenants
seeking lease terms in excess of two years are submitted separately as four individual
ordinances.
For 2013, staff is recommending to increase the rental rate for studios located on the
first and second floor by five percent (5%), and to increase the rental rate for studios
located in the basement by two percent (2%). Building opening hours that were
implemented in 2011 to reduce expenses will remain at 8:15 a.m. on weekdays from
September through May. Tenants will continue to be required to adhere to community
service obligations as required in the past lease agreements, with an option to pay a
15% additional surcharge on the annual rent amount in lieu of community service.
Memorandum
105 of 551
Community service project proposals were reviewed by the Noyes Tenants Association
at a meeting on December 3, 2012. Rental fees at Noyes help to offset the cost of
materials, services, utilities, and employees at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center.
In response to a City Council recommendation, parking permit fee rates were increased
in 2012 to $30.00 per month for parking in the Noyes Center parking lot; the rate is now
consistent with other City parking lots. Noyes resident artists have an option to pay
$5.00 for daily parking permits. Staff recommends maintaining these rates for parking
at the Noyes Center in 2013.
For the lease year beginning on January 1, 2013, there are 17 studio leases and one
theater lease. The Actors Gymnasium leases two spaces (studio 104 and the Great
Hall, plus a basement storage space), Evanston Art Center leases four spaces (studios
B-1, B-2, B-12, and B-13), Jack and Elise Lerman rent two spaces (studios 211 and
216), and the Next Theatre Company leases the theater space in addition to studio 108.
Additionally, several leases are for shared studio space by individuals/groups (Valerie
Schiff and Zafar Malik co-lease studio #214; Sheila Ganch, Joyce Marcus and Sheila
Oettinger share studio 215; and Cary Cochrane, Ann Gaynor, Sarah Kaiser, Naomi
Sondak, and Mary-Anne Brown share studio B-9).
The Piven Theatre Workshop currently occupies four spaces (studios 102, 103, 105,
110). A lease agreement for these spaces, as well as for six currently vacant studios, is
currently in negotiation.
One studio is primarily devoted to community use (106) and one studio is designated for
the Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre (studio 223). These studios do not require a lease.

For Introduction
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
FROM: Douglas J. Gaynor, Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director
Jeff Cory, Arts Council Director
RE: Ordinances Authorizing the City Manager to Execute 2013 Lease
Agreements in Excess of Two Years with Resident Artists for Studio
Spaces at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center
DATE: January 18, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends consideration of the following ordinances for lease agreements with
resident artists at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center for terms in excess of two years.
(A8) Ordinance 13-O-13 Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Five Year
Renewal Lease Agreement with Next Theatre Company
For Introduction
(A9) Ordinance 14-O-13 Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Ten Year

(A11) Ordinance 16-O-13 Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Ten Year
Lease Agreement with Actors Gymnasium, Inc.
For Introduction
Financial:
Revenues will be deposited into a specific subfund for the Noyes Cultural Arts Center,
as described in Resolution 39-R-12.
Summary:
The lease agreements for the resident artist studios and theater at the Noyes Cultura l
Arts Center are adjustable annually to allow the option for fee increases and to gain
Memorandum
171 of 551
approval of the tenants’ current year community service proposals. The start date on
these leases is January 1, 2013. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 1-17-4-1 of
the Evanston City Code of 2012, as amended, renewal leases for the four tenants
seeking lease terms in excess of two years are submitted as four individual ordinances.
For 2013, staff is recommending to increase the rental rate for studios located on the
first and second floor by five percent (5%), and to increase the rental rate for studios
located in the basement by two percent (2%). Building opening hours that were
implemented in 2011 to reduce expenses will remain at 8:15 a.m. on weekdays from
September through May. Tenants will continue to be required to adhere to community
service obligations as required in the past lease agreements, with an option to pay a
15% additional surcharge on the annual rent amount in lieu of community service.
Community service project proposals were reviewed by the Noyes Tenants Association
at a meeting on December 3, 2012. Rental fees at Noyes help to offset the cost of
materials, services, utilities, and employees at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center.
In response to a City Council recommendation, parking permit fee rates were increased
in 2012 to $30.00 per month for parking in the Noyes Center parking lot; the rate is now
consistent with other City parking lots. Noyes resident artists have an option to pay
$5.00 for daily parking permits. Staff recommends maintaining these rates for parking
at the Noyes Center in 2013.

to permit craft distillers to manufacture and store up to 15,000 gallons annually.

241 of 551
Background
The creation of a TIF district provides a tool for both the City and the property owners
within the district to redevelop and improve key parcels, invest in deteriorating
infrastructure, and maintain the overall commercial district in the Main Street and
Chicago Avenue area. A significant focus of this TIF district is the redevelopment of
the vacant parcel located at the southeast corner of Main Street and Chicago Avenue
into a mixed-use office building. The designation of the TIF district will provide a tool
that the City will be able to utilize in order to ensure that the site is developed to its
highest and best use as a mixed-use retail/office building. Over the life of the district,
funds will also be available to fund improvements to deteriorating water and sewer
infrastructure, enhancements to the CTA and Metra rails and stations, as well as
streetscape improvements, and support additional investments to the business district.
Summary
TIF District Designation
Kane McKenna and Associates studied the proposed TIF district to determine its
qualifications under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act. It was
determined that the area as a whole qualifies as a TIF district under the Act as a
“conservation area.” This is based on the findings that six or more of the thirteen factors
set forth in the TIF act are present in the area, including: 1) obsolescence; 2)
inadequate utilities; 3) lack of community planning; 4) deleterious layout; 5) lagging EAV
and 6) deterioration.
Specific examples of these factors include infrastructure that is over 100 years old
constructed of obsolete materials (brick and clay tile) that carries an increased risk of
failure; challenging ingress and egress access for vehicles seeking to access various
properties in the area; a general lack of community planning, exhibited by overcrowded
parcels, a lack of parking and challenging traffic circulation patterns. If not for the
designation of a TIF district and the ability to use TIF financing, improvement would
likely not occur in a coordinated and comprehensive manner. The use of TIF financing
could address these factors.
TIF District Budget
The proposed TIF budget is $25 million based on a base equalized assessed value
(EAV) of $11.4 million and a projected EAV upon redevelopment of approximately $30
million to $35 million. The proposed budget does not obligate the City to expend that
amount, nor obligate the funds to any particular property owner. The budget represents
the aggregate 23 year budget – not an annual budget. The budget is summarized in the
table that follows:
242 of 551
Program/Improvements Estimated Costs
Land Acquisition, Assembly, Relocation $2,500,000
Site Prep, Remediation, Demolition, Site Grading $2,500,000
Utility Improvements $6,000,000
Rehabilitation of Existing Public and Private Structures; Taxing
District Capital Improvements
$5,500,000
Public Facilities (Inc. Parking and Streetscaping) $4,500,000
Interest Costs Pursuant to the Act $2,000,000
Professional Service Costs $1,000,000
Job Training $500,000
Statutory School District Payments $500,000
TOTAL ESTIMATED TIF BUDGET $25,000,000
The proposed budget accommodates potential immediate development requirements
but also includes categories that could address the long term future of the district as
market conditions evolve. The overall budget cannot be exceeded, but the line-items in
the budget are flexible. Budget expenditures are subject to: city approvals;
determination of appropriateness of costs; special TIF audit; and annual JRB review.
Ongoing TIF Project Review and Implementation
Staff has been working with Alderman Don Wilson, Alderman Melissa Wynne, and
Alderman Coleen Burrus to initiate a neighborhood planning process for the Main Street
corridor from Ridge Avenue to Hinman Avenue in order to identify the best ways to
utilize the TIF district to enhance this key south Evanston neighborhood.
To support these planning efforts, staff has compiled a plan for implementation of the
redevelopment of the area within the TIF District (Resolution 6-R-13). This document
will serve as a guide for implementation of redevelopment plans for the next decade. It
outlines key needs for new infrastructure, opportunities for transit connectivity, open
space, and development of underutilized or vacant parcels. The plan includes the
creation of a TIF Advisory Committee to advise the City Council on TIF project
spending.
Legislative History:
The Joint Review Board convened on Tuesday, October 2, 1012 to review the proposed
tax increment financing district. At that meeting the Board unanimously approved an
advisory, non-binding recommendation to the City Council to adopt the Chicago/Main
Redevelopment Plan and Redevelopment Project. The City Council fulfilled the
obligations of the TIF Act by convening a public hearing on November 12, 2012. The
draft implementation plan and the three ordinances were introduced at the December
10, 2012 City Council meeting.

Executive Summary
The Chicago/Main TIF District serves as a catalyst to make targeted reinvestment in the
business, pedestrian, and transit assets of this area. The Chicago/Main business
district is poised to capture new investment and redevelopment activity. Like Downtown
Evanston, this area includes both Metra and CTA transit stations. The strong transit
connectivity lends itself to support not just retail and residential uses, but also office
uses.
DOCUMENT PURPOSE: This document serves as a guide to the implementation of the
proposed Chicago/Main Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District. This “Redevelopment
Implementation Plan” connects the proposed budget to the Chicago/Main TIF to
proposed projects within the Chicago/Main Business District.
DOCUMENT FOCUS: This plan outlines four major areas of potential new investment
through the TIF District. These include:
1) Transit-Oriented Development;
2) Public Infrastructure (roads, sewer, water);
3) Open Space; and
4) Private Development.
The Main Street Merchants Association convened in November 2012 to discuss the
proposed district and offered several suggested priorities for improvement of the district.
These include:
1) Improved streetscape that is more historically accurate for the neighborhood;
2) Enhanced parking options in the form of a parking deck;
3) Funds available for façade improvement and modernization of existing
buildings; and
4) Development of open space/green space within the district.
The group also highlighted the need for a framework for the spending of funds within the
TIF district. They suggested the creation of set criteria that must be met for projects
seeking TIF funds. They also suggested the appointment of an advisory panel
comprised of local businesses and residents that can provide feedback on how TIF
funds are spent within the district.
This document is to serves as a guide for how funds from the Chicago/Main TIF should
be spent over the next decade. The proposed budget for the TIF District is
$25,000,000. This budget can be found in the City of Evanston’s TIF Redevelopment
Plan for the Chicago/Main TIF District (Draft), page 14.

FINAL 01/24/13 3
Overall Recommendations for Chicago/Main TIF Implementation:
Two overarching recommendations can also be found in this document for the
implementation of the Chicago/Main TIF district. First, since the projects outlined in this
document are conceived to be implemented within five to ten years from the date of the
creation of the district it is proposed that two phases be established. The following
phases are proposed:
Phase 1: Work to be completed within the next two to three years; or
Phase 2: Work to be completed within the next ten years.
This document calls for the appointment of an advisory committee comprised of
residents and businesses from the Chicago Avenue/Main Street district that will review
all requests for TIF funding from the Chicago/Main TIF.
This document also sets parameters for the financing of projects through the TIF.
The Budget from the Chicago/Main TIF Redevelopment Plan:
Program/Improvements Estimated Costs
Land Acquisition, Assembly, Relocation $2,500,000
Site Prep, Remediation, Demolition, Site Grading $2,500,000
Utility Improvements $6,000,000
Rehabilitation of Existing Public and Private Structures; Taxing
District Capital Improvements
$5,500,000
Public Facilities (Inc. Parking and Streetscaping) $4,500,000
Interest Costs Pursuant to the Act $2,000,000
Professional Service Costs $1,000,000
Job Training $500,000
Statutory School District Payments $500,000
TOTAL ESTIMATED TIF BUDGET $25,000,000
The budget for the Chicago/Main TIF is estimated in 2012 dollars. This is the estimate
of the total incremental new property taxes generated within the proposed TIF district for
a 23 year period.
TIF Advisory Committee
Upon adoption of the TIF, the Mayor will be requested to appoint a seven-member TIF
Advisory Committee. This committee will consist of five members of the community at
large. At least two members shall be representatives of the Main Street Merchants
Association. This Committee will review all expenditures from the TIF and provide
recommendations to the City Council prior to review of any expenditures from the TIF.
The Committee will also advise the City Council on other matters pertaining to the TIF
as appropriate.

FINAL 01/24/13 4
Transit-Oriented Investment
Background:
This area is one of the most transit-rich parts of Evanston, if not the region. The area is
served by both CTA and Metra.
METRA: The regional commuter rail line, Metra, has a stop along the Union Pacific
North Line, just south of Main Street. This rail line runs from Kenosha, Wisconsin to the
downtown Chicago terminus station at Ogilvie Transportation Center. The line includes
26 stations between the two ends of the line. According to estimates provided by the
Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), the Union Pacific North Line saw an average
of 28,277 boardings (passengers boarding a train bound in either direction) on this line
each weekday. The Main Street station saw approximately 869 average weekday
boardings, a figure that puts it in the top ten of highest train boardings on this route.
CTA: The CTA transit station, located at 836 Chicago Avenue, is served by the CTA’s
Purple Line. During rush hour travel, the Purple line travels to Chicago’s “Loop”
stopping at major downtown and northside destinations. During off-peak hours, the line
travels between the Wilmette terminus at Linden to Howard Street. In 2012, the
average weekday ridership in both north and south directions was 1,200 passengers
per day.
In early 2012, the Regional Transportation Authority recognized that the Chicago/Main
area possesses a unique asset in transit opportunities and awarded the City of
Evanston a grant for planning work associated with a study to identify future station
improvements, improved cross platform connectivity, as well a future land use
recommendations.
Potential TIF Funding Sources Available:
In total, there is approximately up to $11,500,000 available within the TIF budget for
activities or projects that could be associated with enhancing the CTA and Metra
stations and the environs. Within the proposed TIF Budget, applicable activities
associated with Transit-Oriented Investment could be associated with these defined
Programs/Improvements:
Utility Improvements ($6,000,000)
Public Facilities ($4,500,000)
Professional Service Costs ($1,000,000)
A budget at the end of this document provides a summary of potential uses for
proposed projects within the TIF district.
Recommended Action:
The study is expected to commence early 2013 and will take approximately 9 to 12
months to complete. Following the completion of this study, staff recommends that a
prioritized implementation schedule with budget be developed for the recommendations
and proposed transit improvements. Additionally, it should include recommendations
251 of 551
FINAL 01/24/13 5
that reconcile with this document for a Phase 1 and Phase 2 level projects. Projects
that are of immediate improvement to the area (improved pedestrian amenities, bicycle
racks, and signage) should be categorized as Phase 1. Projects that require larger
sources of funds and are identified as less immediate in nature should be categorized
as Phase 2. Subsequent to development of the implementation schedule, this
document should be adjusted to include changes and budget.
252 of 551
FINAL 01/24/13 6
Public Infrastructure
Background:
Several infrastructure projects have been identified within the Chicago/Main TIF District
that could be incorporated into the annual City Capital Improvement Plan. The available
funds from the Chicago/Main TIF District will serve as a funding source for coming fiscal
years to pay for these necessary improvements.
The sewer and water infrastructure in the vicinity of Chicago Avenue and Main Street is
in most cases 100 years of age or older. While the area does not have a history of
water main or sewer failures, the age of infrastructure carries an increased risk of
failure. Staff estimates that improvements and projects to update the water mains and
relief sewers is approximately $2,840,000. An attached memorandum from the City of
Evanston’s Utility Director, David Stoneback, discusses these projects in further detail.
The table below highlights the recommended projects (all have been identified as Phase
1 or Phase 2):
Phase 1: Utility Projects
Project Description Phase Estimated

A budget at the end of this document provides a summary of potential uses for
proposed projects within the TIF district.
Potential TIF Funding Sources Available:
In total, there is approximately up to $11,500,000 available within the budget for
activities or projects associated with repair and improvement of infrastructure within the
district. Within the proposed TIF Budget, applicable activities associated with Public
Infrastructure could be associated with these defined Programs/Improvements:
Utility Improvements ($6,000,000)
Public Facilities ($4,500,000)
Professional Service Costs ($1,000,000)
Phase 1 has the following projects and costs:
Recommended Action:
Incorporate the proposed projects outlined in this section into the City of Evanston’s
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) following the designation of the tax increment
financing district. The improved streetscape projects align with the recommendations
from the business district meeting.

FINAL 01/24/13 8
Open Space
Background:
While the area is a compact and urban environment, there are opportunities throughout
the district for open space or public art.
A primary example of potential new green and open space is the area along the rail
viaducts. Three projects have been identified as potentially being part of larger open
space planning and improvements. These include the St. Paul’s Park South
Renovation, Jennifer Morris Park Renovation, and the creation of a greenbelt bicycle
and pedestrian path between the CTA and Metra viaducts. Within this section are
project descriptions and preliminary cost estimates.
ST. PAUL’S PARK SOUTH RENOVATION
Location: South of Main, North of Kedzie, between the CTA tracks and Chicago
Avenue
Budget Estimate: $1,500,000
Detailed Project Description
Renovate this existing park which serves both area residents as well as CTA and Metra
commuters. This park was last renovated in the 1970s and is in a highly deteriorated
state. With substantial street frontage along Chicago Avenue the park currently presents
a neglected appearance, creating an unwelcome environment to the public. Master
planning efforts for this park were completed in 2006 and were intended to extend the
character and Chicago Streetscape Plan. Renovations to the property would include a
variety of features to help revitalize the area and encourage positive activities and
growth. Improvements include: flexible public spaces for both passive activities and
cultural event, heritage areas with transportation themed garden spaces, outdoor café
seating areas, shade structures and flexible green spaces.
JENNIFER MORRIS PARK RENOVATION
Location: South of Washington, East of Custer
Budget Estimate: $100,000
Detailed Project Description
Although technically just outside the proposed district boundary, this existing park
serves as a gateway to the district and should be considered a contributing property.
The site consists primarily of overgrown landscaping and deteriorated park amenities.
Renovations would help to enliven the district’s boundaries and present and welcoming
and attractive entry.
Potential TIF Funding Sources Available:
In total, there is approximately up to $10,500,000 available within the budget for
activities or projects associated with open space. Within the proposed TIF Budget,
255 of 551
FINAL 01/24/13 9
applicable activities associated with Open Space could be associated with these
defined Programs/Improvements:
Utility Improvements ($6,000,000)
Public Facilities ($4,500,000)
A budget at the end of this document provides a summary of potential uses for
proposed projects within the TIF district.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that following the approval of the proposed TIF district and the
development of the RTA study, that staff work in coordination with the local Alderman,
and businesses to develop an implementation schedule for Phase 2 for public open
space improvements. Also recommended is coordination with the Public Art Committee
to develop a public art program for the district. Art considered could be both permanent
and temporary in nature.

Private Development at Main Street & Chicago Avenue
Background:
Historically, the property located at the southeast corner of Main Street and Chicago
Avenue was a two-story retail/office development. It was demolished in 2007 and was
slated for development as a mixed-use commercial and residential building. However,
after the owner failed to make timely payments on the loan, Cole Taylor Bank filed a
foreclosure lawsuit in late 2008. The property was then the subject of a $4.3 million
foreclosure lawsuit filing by Cole Taylor Bank. After the foreclosure, staff closely
monitored the various parties and their interest in the acquisition and redevelopment of
the property. In December 2010, Cole Taylor Bank sold the property to OMS Evanston
LLC (“OMS”) for approximately $1.65 million.
Staff has worked with the development team for nearly two years to conceptualize
future redevelopment at this site. Initially OMS sought redevelopment of the property as
a mixed use retail and residential building. After much review and discussion with local
merchants, elected officials, and other stakeholders, it is the collective vision and desire
that the property is redeveloped as a mixed-use retail and office development.
The close proximity to both the CTA and the Metra Main Street stations make the
property highly transit accessible. Additionally, many Main Street merchants have
noted that after the removal of the previous vintage office building and the bank/office
property at the northwest corner of Main Street and Chicago Avenue, day-time foot
traffic into stores has decreased significantly.
The proposed office redevelopment ranges from 130,000 to 170,000 square feet and
will include retail at the ground floor, public parking on the upper floors, and office space
on the top floors. The total cost of the project is estimated to be between $20 and $30
million, depending on the size of the development constructed.
The development of this office space could result in approximately 300 to 400 new
office workers to this neighborhood. The new development would also significantly
increase the availability of public parking for the commercial district.
Potential TIF Funding Sources Available:
In total, there is approximately up to $10,000,000 available within the budget for
activities or projects associated with this development. Within the proposed TIF Budget,
applicable activities associated with Private office development at Main Street and
Chicago Avenue could be associated with these defined Programs/Improvements:
Site Prep, Remediation, Demolition, Site Grading ($2,500,000)
Public Facilities (Incl. Parking Facilities and Streetscape) ($4,500,000)
Interest Costs ($2,000,000)
Professional Development Service Costs ($1,000,000)
257 of 551
FINAL 01/24/13 11
A budget at the end of this document provides a summary of potential uses for
proposed projects within the TIF district.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that following the adoption of the ordinances establishing a TIF
district that a TIF funding and redevelopment agreement between the City and OMS-
Evanston be developed to determine how the development gap of up to $10,000,000
can be funded. The agreement would also articulate the terms and conditions of funding
for development.
Since the economic development goal of vacant lot at the southeast corner of Main
Street and Chicago Avenue is to foster a use that brings day-time traffic to the business
district, the funding and redevelopment agreements should explicitly state that the
public-private partnership and utilization of TIF funds exists solely for the purpose of
creating a mixed-use retail/office development. It should not afford opportunities to
develop the land for other uses utilizing TIF funding.
A City Council subcommittee of the Third and Fourth Ward Aldermen will work with staff
to negotiate with OMS-Evanston the terms and conditions of the Redevelopment
Agreement.

Private Development throughout District
Background:
According to the report developed by Kane McKenna and Associates, the properties
located within the Main & Chicago TIF District are aging. Based on their assessment,
83 percent of the structures are 35 years or older. While the older buildings offer
character for this district, they also come with potentially higher costs for maintenance,
operation (greater energy usage), and lower likelihood of being accessible to persons
with disabilities.
Funds from the TIF district can be utilized in order to preserve these properties and offer
opportunities for redevelopment. Rehabilitation of properties within the district is an
eligible expense through the TIF district.
At a November 2012 Main Street Merchants meeting, the group articulated a need for
program that would address improvements to older buildings in need of modern
improvements. In particular improvements include new heating and cooling systems
that are more energy efficient and less costly for businesses and property owners.
Potential TIF Funding Sources Available:
In total, there is approximately up to $8,000,000 available within the budget for activities
or projects associated with open space. Within the proposed TIF Budget, applicable
activities associated with Private Development throughout District could be associated
with these defined Programs/Improvements:
Land Acquisition, Assembly, and Relocation ($2,500,000)
Rehabilitation of Existing Public and Private Structures ($5,500,000)
A budget at the end of this document provides a summary of potential sources and uses
for proposed projects within the TIF district.
Recommended Action:
Allocation of $1,000,000 over the course of the TIF district’s life to spend on property
rehabilitation that preserves historic structures, modifies buildings for modern use, and
creates a more aesthetically pleasing district. In order to ensure that funds are utilized
over the full lifespan of the TIF (23 years) the following phased approach is
recommended:
Phase 1: $250,000 available for façade improvement, interior rehabilitation of
properties 75 years old or greater for greater energy efficiency or other
modernization needs
Phase 2: $250,000 available for projects described above
The remaining $500,000 would be reserved for remaining utilization during the
second half of the lifespan of the TIF district.

Project Financing Strategy
Phase 1 projects for the TIF ($15,030,000) would be debt financed only after a
Redevelopment Agreement has been negotiated and executed for the private
development at Main Street and Chicago Avenue. No funds would be borrowed until a
Redevelopment Agreement is in place.
Phase 2 specific projects would be identified and financed beginning in 2023 at the
direct of the City Council.

Subject: Proposed Chicago & Main TIF Area – Potential Capital Improvement
Projects
Date: July 5, 2012
The Utilities Department has identified several water and sewer capital improvement
projects in the proposed Chicago & Main Tax Increment Financing (TIF) area. While
there is not a history of recurring water and sewer main failures in this area, the fact
remains that its critical water and sewer infrastructure is over 100 years old and carries
an ever increasing risk of failure due to its age.
Considering the City’s efforts to attract businesses to this area, proactive infrastructure
renewal is recommended here. This will allow active control of the timing and location
of construction work, and minimize construction costs (as compared to the high cost,
and unscheduled road closures and water shut-offs, that accompany emergency
repairs). The recommended projects are summarized below, with detailed project
descriptions and location maps on the following pages.
Project Description Estimated Cost
Chicago Avenue Water Main Replacement $0,670,000
Custer Avenue Water Main Replacement $0,210,000
Sherman Avenue Water Main Replacement $0,675,000

Estimated Cost: $670,000
Detailed Project Description
This section of Chicago Avenue includes a 10-inch diameter water main from
Washington to Main, and a 6-inch water main from Main to Greenleaf. Both water
mains were installed in 1907. The proposed water main along this entire corridor is 10-
inch diameter. Both pipelines are recommended for replacement due to their age (over
100 years) and to address known fire flow deficiencies in this area.

This section of Custer Avenue includes a 4-inch diameter water main installed in 1907,
and a 6-inch diameter water main installed in 1988. The proposed improvements
include replacing the 4-inch water main with an 8-inch main to meet the City’s current
minimum water main size requirements. These improvements are primarily
recommended due to pipe age (over 100 years). The 6-inch main is not recommended
for replacement as it is relatively new.

Washington to Main, and parallel 6-inch and 12-inch diameter water mains starting at
Main Street and running north. All of these water mains were installed in 1907. The
proposed improvements include replacing the 8-inch and 12-inch diameter mains in
kind, and replacing the 6-inch diameter main with an 8-inch main to meet the City’s
current minimum water main size requirements. These improvements are primarily
recommended due to pipe age (over 100 years).

PROJECT TITLE: CUSTER AVENUE RELIEF SEWER EXTENSION
Project Location: From alley behind 900-block of Sherman Avenue to Custer Avenue
Estimated Cost: $140,000
Detailed Project Description
Custer Avenue pitches sharply downward from Main Street to Lee Street, resulting in
flooding during heavy rains due to the flow restrictors installed in the combined sewer
inlets on this portion of the street. A relief sewer exists in the alley that runs between
the 900-blocks of Sherman and Custer. This relief sewer could be extended to directly
drain two combined sewer structures on Custer near Lee Street. Further, the storm
runoff that accumulates due to flow restrictors installed in combined sewer structures
further south of Lee Street will also drain to the relief sewer via the two directly
connected structures (they will have their restrictors removed). These improvements
should alleviate most flooding issues on this segment of Custer Avenue.

Maple
Staff recommends consideration of Ordinance 5-O-13 that, if adopted, would amend
the previously approved planned developments for 1881 Oak and 1890 Maple.
For Introduction
Ald. Wynne moved approval, seconded by Ald. Wilson.
Chair Fiske said she would call staff, the developers, & the citizens to the podium.
Dennis Marino, Manager of Planning & Zoning Division, explained that the following
had been distributed to the Committee: a revised version of Ordinance 5-O-13
correcting a typo, the draft minutes of the 1-9-13 SPAARC meeting, the Plan
Commission meeting minutes of 2006 and the Plan Commission meeting minutes of

David Reifman of DLA Piper introduced Greg Graines of DLA Piper, Eric Russell,
Transportation Engineer and Principal, at KLOA, Bob King, developer, Carroll
Properties and Steve Fifield and Alan Schachtman of Fifield, developers, Fifield.
Steve Fifield, CEO of Fifield Companies, said he is pleased to present the updated
version of the development. He said Fifield has done $8 billion of development in the
Chicago area, and they have developments in Washington D.C., Florida, California
and Nevada. He said he is excited about this development because the luxury
finishes, layouts and amenities are superior to anything else he has seen in
Evanston. He said he has learned what people want and the development will

provide great housing for middle aged people to young people and will attract all
income groups. He urged the Committee to go to Fifieldcompanies.com to see the
types of developments they do and that it will add great value to the area. He added
that shorter building mitigated some of the Optima views issues.
Pat Fitzgerald, Managing Partner of Fitzgerald Associates Architects, explained that
his firm had done the 2 previous plans of 2006 and 2007 and that much has
happened in the market and in people’s expectations since then.
He presented the plans explaining that the revision proposes to:
Maintain the setback of the plaza entrance on the northeast corner
Eliminate the curb cuts on Emerson St.
A 2-story lobby at the west entrance
Twelve 2.5-story townhomes, on Emerson
Garage entry and loading from Oak
3 stories of parking
An amenity plaza providing a lounge, theater, spa, ½ basketball court and deck
with access from the east and west towers
Shorter buildings that contain smaller units; 20% less floor area; less bedrooms
and less demand on parking
Less retail, reducing traffic from original plan
Townhome materials: brick and limestone transitioning to the residential buildings
to the north
Apartment buildings’ materials: glass, aluminum, painted concrete with solid glass
balconies
Sustainable project per current standards of LEED Silver
Bike racks, green roofs, energy efficient lighting, storage, etc.
Mr. Fitzgerald presented elevations.
Mr. Reifman added that the developer has re-submitted a traffic study which
recommended a traffic signal timing plan and parking restrictions between Ridge and
Church, striping but no widening required, and that the level of service at all
intersections will be maintained by the plan. The parking ratio reduction exceeds the
Downtown Plan’s parking requirements.
Mr. Reifman said the original Ordinance had time frames but for the amended
Ordinance he proposes that construction commence in the fall of 2013 and be
completed by the fall of 2015. At Ald. Rainey’s inquiry, Mr. Schachtman explained
that in the fall of 2013, the drawings will be finished and submitted for approval,
demolition, site clearing, excavation, and the building of the structure will commence.
At Ald. Rainey’s inquiry of how the traffic study related to the City’s request for
$150,000 for traffic improvements. Mr. Russell explained that the City has planned to
do signal upgrades for over 30 years and has been attempting to obtain CMAP
funding to interconnect all the signals in the vicinity. He said the City will continue to
submit applications for funding from CMAP. He explained that the Ordinance
proposes to remove parking from the south side of Emerson between Maple and
Ridge and that there is enough width to re-stripe Emerson to a 4-lane roadway to
Asbury. The plan maintains parking on the north side where there are businesses.

Planning & Development Committee Meeting
Minutes of 1-14-13
Page 3 of 7
Ald. Rainey asked why the City is asking for $150,000 from the developer. Mr.
Marino replied that if the City accepts the study, the $150,000 will be used for traffic
improvements. He said he expects that there would be improvements on Emerson
even if the City does not get the CMAP grant. Ald. Rainey argued that everyone i n
the area is contributing to the congestion. Ald. Wynne explained that this was part of
the Planned Development because this development will add significantly to the
traffic at that location. She said she does not think circumstances have changed
regarding the traffic issue. Ald. Rainey noted that the system is not yet being
upgraded and suggested that the money come in when the City is ready to make the
improvements.
Mr. Reifman clarified that the $150,000 was not related to a signal, but it was for a
signal modernization in the corridor and striping is the only requirement of the
Planned Development.
Ald. Holmes said she had thought from the previous approved Planned
Developments that the signals from Elgin to McCormick would be synchronized.
Mr. Marino noted that on page 238, Letter E, Section 3, the Ordinance states:
The proposed planned development will not cause undue traffic
congestion and the Applicant's donation of one hundred fifty thousand
dollars (S150.000.00) toward the costs of signal modernization and
coordination within the Emerson corridor from Elgin to Asbury will improve
traffic circulation;
Ald. Wynne asked for the Zoning analysis for the property.
Chair Fiske opened the discussion to citizen comment.
Lynn Heidt of 1211-C Central St., said there is a great deal of traffic caused by the
Farmers’ Market on Saturdays and she cannot imagine that the development would
cause more traffic than that. She said she owns 2 condos at 1720 Maple and she
supports the development and that she would not support anything that would
negatively impact her investments. She said putting the land to its highest and best
use will offer higher taxes on other properties and she is hoping others will receive
tax relief from the improvements. She said the City should be thankful that
developers want to come to Evanston and we should help them. She explained that
renters become potential buyers in Evanston and that we should welcome the traffic
and the consumers. She said there are residents who resist every development such
as the town homes on Church St., Roszak’s on Oak, and the development at Ridge
and Emerson. She said condos produce more revenue than rentals but rentals
produce more revenue than vacant lots. She said as a member of the Minority
Business Consortium, she is hoping the developer will hire Evanston minority
workers.
Terry Wendt of 807 Colfax said he has lived in Evanston since 2008 and has fond
memories of it. He said rental property choices were minimal in 2008. He now lives
at 1630 Chicago but if this building had been available in 2008, he would have rented
there, so he supports the project for personal reasons: the restaurants, shops and

workout places. He believes this type of housing will enhance Evanston and add to its
activity. He said he is also an architect and likes the design.
Michael Marin of 1720 Maple (Optima Views) said he believes this is the right time to
invest in this development as they are investing in Evanston. He is hopeful the
project will help to reduce taxes. He said it would be good for the youth of Evanston
to see that Bob King, an Afro American, has been successful and he will make a
good role model, so it will be good for Evanston.
Amanda Underwood of 3036 Central said she is in her mid 20 ’s and won’t be buying
a place in Evanston for at least 10 years. She does not live in the downtown but
would love to live in this building.
Bob Brower of 800 Elgin who has lived in Evanston 22 years and is now retired said
he loves Evanston and is interested in the appearance and quality of the
neighborhood. He is against the project for 3 reasons: 1) It doesn’t fit. It is a monster
in the neighborhood; across the street the building is 10 stories, the student housing
building kitty corner is 10 stories, there are 2 level homes across the street and the
research buildings are 2-4 stories. He said it will dwarf everything in the area. 2)
Since 299 of the 368 units are studios and 1 bedrooms, he said he knows from
experience that the building will attract many students, but renters are transient. He
wondered how many students choose to stay in Evanston and buy property later. He
said the old plan was better where one of the buildings was condo and the owners
would have a stake in the community. He said the 12 townhomes are the only units
likely to have school aged children living in them. 3) The amendment cuts retail from
21,000 sq. ft. to 4,000 sq. ft., which is a huge difference. He hopes if the plan is
rejected that there will be a revision to require more retail space. He believes condos
are a better fit for the community.
Jeff Smith of 2724 Harrison said he went to college in Evanston and decided to stay
after graduation. He said when a project reduces its retail space, changes from
condo to rental and reduces its parking, the law says that it is a different project. He
said the rationale is defective to not send it back to the Plan Commission because the
City has not sent the last 7 projects back and the City should be following the law and
going through the Plan Commission process again for this project. If they do not, any
developer could do a “bait and switch” if they thought they could submit plans and
change them later without having to go through the process. Mr. Smith also rebutted
Ms. Heidt’s comment about people that are against development, saying they should
get a medal. He said the theory of democracy is that the residents understand the
traffic and the “needs of the community.”
Tina Paden of 1122 Emerson has lived there for the past 42 years, and said she is
very aware of the traffic in the area. She presented several photos of traffic problems
in the area. She said during Farmers’ Market on Saturdays, people park in the lot of
the proposed development and handicapped people park on University. She said
only one car can pass on University when a Fedex truck is parked there during
business hours. She said there are often accidents at the intersection of Emerson
and Ridge.
Ms. Paden concluded that most of the people who will occupy the 368 units will have
cars and it is important to consider the traffic problems when considering this project. 375 of 551
Planning & Development Committee Meeting
Minutes of 1-14-13
Page 5 of 7
Mike Mclaughlin of 1720 Maple said his unit faces south so his view is not obstructed
by the proposed development but he believes it is impossible to add 1,000 people to
the intersection without adding traffic. He said building the development will create
short term jobs that are being traded for long term jobs created by the research
center. He believes the short term decision is not as good as the long term decision.
Stamata Blanas of 1720 Maple said that she has said from the beginning that this
development is driving out small businesses and that there was a lack of notice to
residents about the process. She said the elevations in the presentation cut off part
of the building and she cannot see where the skyline is. She said neither she nor the
Committee have the expertise to judge the project and mentioned that Ivy Court will
be in shadows and had the Ivy Court residents been noticed, they would have been
aware.
Ms. Blanas said the Plan Commission did not approve this project but their decision
was overturned by the Planning & Development Committee. She mentioned that
Carolyn Brzezinski asked for models of projects and that it was helpful.
Ald. Rainey said in response to Ms. Blanas’ opinion that the Committee does not
have the expertise to judge the development, that she spent her entire career in real
estate. She explained that thousands of hours were spent trying to attract
businesses such as Trader Joe’s, Target, a mini Walmart, and a new-concept
Dominick’s, to the 21,000 sq. ft. space, and all refused. She said at 415 Howard
there is a 7 story residential building with the 1st floor used as a TV room, a recreation
room, a health center, a computer room and a Starbuck’s coffee area so it was a plus
that the space was not used for retail. Initially there was a recommendation that 415
Howard include retail. She said the proposed 1890 Maple/1881 Oak project will
generate approximately $1.2 million that will go immediately to the taxing body, which
is good since 1800 Maple is no longer on the tax roles because Northwestern
University bought it from under the City. Ald. Rainey explained that the Research
Park was a failure and the only thing that works in that area is residential, the theater
and retail.
Ald. Rainey addressed the comment that the project is an alleged monster in the
neighborhood with the response that it fits perfectly. She said all these developers
that got hit by the economy have remained committed to Evanston and have come
back. To reject them would be to send them back to the Plan Commission and if the
Committee has the votes to get the project passed, she believes they should. She
said it is a beautiful building and she is all for it.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to recommend introduction of
Ordinance 5-O-13.
Mayor Tisdahl made a presentation of keys to the City to NorthShore University Health
System for Leadership and Support of the Evanston Township High School Health Clinic.
She explained that years ago a large number of students went to the Emergency Room
for their health care and now the Center provides free health care for every high school
student. The following people received keys to the City:

(P2) Ordinance 1-O-13, Enacting a New Title 5, Chapter 9 of the City Code to
Prohibit Vacation Rentals
Staff requests consideration of Ordinance 1-O-13, which enacts a new Title 5,
Chapter 9 of the City Code to prohibit the leasing of a dwelling unit for fewer than 30
days. This addresses the operation of what are commonly referred to as vacation
rentals.
For Introduction
Ald. Rainey moved to introduce Ordinance 1-O-13, seconded by Ald. Holmes.
Chair Fiske noted that the real estate community has presented situations when it is
necessary to rent for less than 30 days, such as when a contract purchaser suffices
as owner interest and when a family is coming to visit Northwestern as a prospective
school. Ald. Rainey agreed that they are good arguments.
Ald. Wilson said he feels there was a misunderstanding in what the Committee
requested in the product. A complete spectrum of situations was to be considered
and stakeholders were to have their thoughts incorporated into the Ordinance.
Chair Fiske called the public who wished to speak to the podium:
Jeff Smith of 2729 Harrison said that he had represented a home owner for short
term rental and since the case is over he is at liberty to speak about it. He said a ban
is a bad idea and it is “going after a bug with a bazooka.” He estimated that the
number of people doing short term rentals is a couple of hundred a year and of those
there are a couple of property owners who have been subjected to very vocal
neighbors. He said all residents have the right to rent their property with no rules or
objections and if their zoning were to change, they would receive notice. He pointed
out that the City does not receive complaints about most of the people that are
renting their homes on a short term basis, he is not aware of a single violent crime
related to a short term tenant, the owners probably screen renters who come to visit
Northwestern University or go to the beach and that if an owner is going out of town,
they would probably rather have their home occupied than vacant. People pay
people to stay in their homes when they are gone and this also brings money into
Evanston. He said the evidence shows that it is not a problem and a complete ban
could potentially create problems. He suggested that the Legal Department create
something kinder, gentler and fairer to citizens.
Ald. Rainey moved to hold the item. Ald. Wilson agreed and asked that citizens’
comments be sent to the Law Dept.
Grant Farrar, Corporation Counsel, said the product was prepared at the beginning of
the month of December and citizens’ comments were received after the 1st of the
year.
Wally Bobkiewicz, City Manager, said staff needs more precise direction and that
they are trying to accommodate the will of the Committee. 377 of 551
Planning & Development Committee Meeting
Minutes of 1-14-13
Page 7 of 7
Ald. Wilson clarified that the Committee does not want to put an outright ban on short
term rentals and wants to address parties and weekend problems. He said this has
been talked about for a month and the citizens have been making comments. He
said he understands that this is challenging, to which Mr. Bobkiewicz replied that he
does not want staff to come back and fail. He said he senses that there are two
issues, one being the number of days, blending together.
Ald. Holmes said that it cannot be done in a vacuum. It is a longer process than
deciding whether people can rent for 14 or 30 days. She suggested a committee
workshop be formed and its decisions be forwarded to the P&D Committee.
Ald. Wynne said she is concerned about problems with closings and people being
unable to move into new housing smoothly.
Chair Fiske commented that if the owner is at the house at the time it is rented, there
is less likelihood of problems. She suggested a licensing program. Ald. Rainey
agreed that it is better if the owner occupies the home at the time of the rental. Chair
Fiske noted that a license can be pulled if a problem continues to occur.
Mr. Bobkiewicz said he would schedule a meeting for the workshop on a Saturday
morning at which short term rentals will be discussed. Ald. Rainey suggested
isolating the problems to prevent confusion of the issues. She said she does not
want to add licensing. Ald. Wynne agreed with Ald. Rainey that the workshop should
focus on the problems.
Ald. Wynne moved to schedule the workshop seconded by Ald. Wilson.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to recommend a workshop meeting to
discuss 1-O-13 and send its recommendations to the P&D Committee.

Business of the Council by Motion: Loan for Restroom at 319 Dempster
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Director, Community and Economic Development Department
Dennis Marino, Manager, Planning & Zoning Division
Sarah Flax, Housing and Grants Administrator
Mary Ellen Poole, Housing Planner
Subject: Loan for Restroom addition at the Claridge Apartments
Date: January 15, 2013
Recommended Action
The Housing and Homelessness Commission and staff recommend approval of a
$20,188 forgivable loan from the City’s Affordable Housing Fund to Housing Opportunity
Development Corporation (HODC). The loan will be used to build a new restroom in the
common area of the Claridge Apartment building located at 319 Dempster for use by
HODC staff and social service providers that serve its residents. The loan will have a 5
year term and require the building to remain in use as rental housing affordable to
households with incomes at or below 100% of the area median income as required by
the Affordable Housing Fund. Upon successful compliance with the loan terms, the loan
will be forgiven at the completion of the term.
Discussion
HODC owns and manages the Claridge Apartment building, which has provided 48
units of affordable rental for very low- and low-income individuals, including seniors,
previously homeless and persons with disabilities, since 2002. Local social service
agencies provide supportive services to tenants as needed. The coordination of these
services and property management has been challenging due to the lack of a staff
restroom. City staff and HODC management proposed the restroom as a solution to
allow a more constant presence of HODC property management and service providers.
Improved coordination of social services and the expanded presence of on-site HODC
property staff will improve outcomes for tenants and likely reduce calls to Fire or Police
departments for needs such as when tenants lock themselves out.
Memorandum
379 of 551
Page 2
The loan will have a 5 year term and require the building to remain in use as rental
housing affordable to households with incomes at or below 100% of the area median
income as required by the Affordable Housing Fund. Upon successful compliance with
the loan terms, the loan will be forgiven at the completion of the term.
HODC obtained three competitive bids for the construction of the bathroom following an
initial walk through by City building inspectors. Evanston Community Builders, a
minority-owned and Evanston based business, is the proposed contractor for the
restroom construction. HODC would undertake construction of the restroom as soon as
funds are made available. The project will take approximately 8 weeks to complete.
Funding Source
The funding source is the City’s Affordable Housing Fund. Because the restroom is not
part of a residential unit, the project is not eligible for HOME funds.

Subject: Approval of Proposed Substantial Amendment to City of Evanston
Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (Grant No. B-09-LN-IL-0026)
Date: January 16, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Substantial Amendment to its
Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (“NSP2”) project. The Substantial Amendment
adds land banking and demolition as an end use to meet a program object to the
eligible activities in the City’s NSP2 project. While land banking has always been an
option under NSP, the addition of demolition as an end use takes advantage of new
regulations released by HUD in November 2012 that provide the City and its partner,
Brinshore Development, greater flexibility to achieve its NSP2 goals: acquisition and
rehabilitation or mitigation of the negative impact of 100 units of foreclosed or
abandoned residential properties and the redevelopment of a vacant industrial site into
mixed-income rental housing. In addition, the Substantial Amendment details the
reallocation of funds between activities that is already largely reflected in our HUD
reporting system as requested by HUD. Pending completion of the required 10-day
public comment period and Council approval, the Substantial Amendment will be
submitted to HUD for its review and approval.
Funding Source:
Total project costs are approximately $37.2 million. Of this amount, $22.2 million is City
NSP2 funds including program income from sales proceeds. The City is also providing
an additional $1 million in HOME, TIF, and Affordable Housing Fund funds. Other
projects sources include Low Income Housing Tax Credits; state sources; and private
financing.
Summary:
The City’s $18.15 million NSP2 grant has two strategies which have been reviewed and
approved by HUD: the acquisition and rehabilitation or reconstruction of a minimum of
100 foreclosed and abandoned housing units in south and west Evanston (“Scattered
Memorandum
For City Council meeting of January 28, 2013 Item P2
Business of the City by Motion: Amendment to NSP2 Grant
For Action
405 of 551
Site Phase”), and the redevelopment of a vacant industrial site in west Evanston into a
New Urbanist development known as Emerson Square. The City is requesting approval
of several changes to the scattered site portion of its NSP2 project. Plans for the first
phase of Emerson Square remain unchanged.
To execute these two strategies, the City currently has approval to undertake the
following activities with its NSP2 grant: acquisition and rehabilitation of foreclosed
and/or abandoned housing; demolition; redevelopment of vacant land; and grant
administration. The City, working with its development partner, Brinshore Development,
has made significant progress in implementing our program to date. During that time,
we have identified conditions that were not anticipated in our application and need to be
addressed using additional strategies.
Rationale:
Our original budget anticipated that the scope of rehab would range from minimal to
moderate to gut. However most of the properties, except for the condominium units,
require gut rehabilitation to meet the City’s Building Code and NSP2 energy efficiency
standards. The attached Substantial Amendment proposes two additional activities to
achieve our HUD-mandated goal of mitigating the negative effects of 100 units of
foreclosed or abandoned housing: land banking and acquisition of derelict or blighted
residential properties in order to demolish them, thereby mitigating their negative effect
on the neighborhood. The proposed changes would apply to approximately five
properties, comprising 10-13 housing units. In all cases, the condition of the existing
structure on the site was determined by the City’s Building Division to warrant
demolition.
Properties that have been acquired and the residential structures demolished that are
currently being considered for the land banking and/or acquisition and demolition
activities are:
1509 Emerson
1941 Jackson
2122 Darrow
2142 Dewey
Currently, our Action Plan only allows for the immediate reconstruction of housing on
these sites. There may be a minimal number of additional properties that have not yet
been acquired that would also be considered for either land banking or demolition.
Land banking has always been an eligible use under NSP regulations. However, as
land banking was not included in our application for NSP2 funds or the City’s
subsequent Action Plan, we need to obtain HUD’s permission to amend our Action Plan
to include it. The ability to land bank would allow the City a maximum of ten years to
secure additional funding to develop land banked properties. While a Brinshore affiliate
currently holds title to all NSP2 properties, ownership of land banked properties would
be transferred to the City, in compliance with NSP2 regulations.
Demolition as an end use was recently added as an eligible activity in the NSP closeout
notice issued by HUD on November 27, 2012. In order to qualify under NSP, demolition
would either have to eliminate conditions that are detrimental to public safety or be part
406 of 551
of a comprehensive neighborhood strategy of demolition and preservation. The
proposed properties are located in a roughly nine-block area in census tract 8092. Their
condition made them detrimental to public safety. As their demolition both eliminates a
threat to public safety and is part of our targeted redevelopment efforts in census tract
8092, an NSP2 objective has been met. The additional regulatory guidance also
expanded options for the ultimate disposition of these properties to include any end use
that achieves a National Objective by providing a benefit to low- and moderate-income
residents, following CDBG regulations.
While our goal is to complete as much development as possible on all NSP2 properties
with current funding, these two additional uses would allow the City flexibility to meet
program goals and HUD requirements.

City of Evanston
Proposed Substantial Amendment
Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2
The City of Evanston, working with its development partner, Brinshore Development,
has made significant progress in implementing our program to date. During that time,
we have identified conditions that were not anticipated in our application and need to be
addressed using additional strategies.
As indicated in our application to HUD and our action plan, the City’s program has two
components:
• Scattered Site. The mitigation of the negative effects of 100 units of foreclosed or
abandoned housing through the acquisition, rehabilitation, and sale or rental of
those units.
• Emerson Square, Phase One. Redevelopment of a vacant brownfield site into a
32-unit, mixed-income, New Urbanist rental project located on the City’s west
side.
Program Status
As of January 16, 2013, we have site control of 96 units towards our goal of mitigating
the negative effects of 100 units of foreclosed or abandoned units. Of those 96 units, we
have acquired 89 units. A summary of our progress is noted below.
• Fifty-nine units have been rehabbed
• Eleven rehabbed units have been sold and one is under contract
• Twenty-two rehabbed units are rented.
• Eleven for sale units and three rental units are on the market.
• Fifteen units are currently being rehabbed or built
• Eight units (four properties) have been demolished.
While our original budget anticipated that the scope of rehab would range from minimal
to moderate to gut, we are discovering that most of the properties, except for the
condominium units, require gut rehabilitation to meet the City’s Building Code and NSP2
energy efficiency standards. The most common unanticipated rehabilitation issue has
been failing or missing foundations. In addition, there is a much higher incidence of
substandard plumbing and electrical systems than we anticipated when applying for
NSP2 funding.
In November 2011, following the commitment of Low Income Housing Tax Credits and
other financing, City Council approved an amendment to our existing redevelopment
agreement (“RDA”) with Brinshore that committed $2.085 million of NSP2 funds along
with $1 million of other City funds to Emerson Square. (The RDA originally included only
the Scattered Site phase.) The City received a draft no further remediation (”NFR”)
letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”) on May 25, 2012 and
the site was acquired in July. After demolition and the first phase of environmental
408 of 551
2
remediation, ownership of the property was transferred to the developer in late October
2012. Construction is now underway and is expected to be complete by yearend 2013.
Our total budget for both components of our NSP2 project is approximately $37.2
million. Of this amount, $22.2 million is City NSP2 funds (including program income).
The City is also providing an additional $1 million in HOME, TIF, and Affordable
Housing Fund funds. A detailed budget is on the following page. The City has expended
approximately $17.6 million to date. We have generated approximately $1.2 million in
program income to date and expect to generate approximately $3.8 million in total.

Proposed Changes
Based on budgetary and other considerations learned in the course of our first two
years of the program, we request approval of the following changes to our Action Plan:
• Inclusion of land banking as an activity
• Inclusion of demolition as an end use as an activity
These changes and their impact on individual factors and sub-factors are detailed in the
following sections of this memorandum. In addition, we have detailed the reallocation of
funds between approved activities, as requested.
1. Need/Extent of the Problem
a. Target Geography. Unchanged. The City will continue to undertake its NSP2
activities in the two census tracts proposed in its original application, 8092 and
8102. At the time of our NSP2 application, census tract 8092 had foreclosure and
vacancy scores of 19 and 20, respectively, while 8102 had scores of 17 and 19,
respectively. The average max score for the target geography was 19.5.
b. Market Conditions and Demand Factors. Unchanged. The two NSP2 target
areas continue to be the City’s highest areas of need.
In addition, the demand for quality rental and for sale housing affordable to low,
moderate and middle income households has been demonstrated through the response
to the City’s NSP2 program. To date, almost 800 households have registered for our
homeownership program and 180 for rental.
2. Demonstrated Capacity and Relevant Organizational Staff
Past Experience of the Applicant – Unchanged
Management Structure - Unchanged
3. Soundness of Approach
a. Proposed Activities. The activities proposed in the original NSP2 application
and stated in the action plan are:
• Acquisition and rehabilitation (including reconstruction) of 100 units of
scattered site rental and homeownership units. Approximately 50 units would
be for sale and 50 units for rent.
• Financing mechanisms for the purchase and redevelopment of foreclosed
residential properties (ultimately included with acquisition and rehab for
second mortgage assistance for homes rehabbed with NSP2 funds)
• Demolition of blighted structures.
• Redevelopment of demolished or vacant properties.
We have implemented minor changes in these activities based on our experience in
market; these changes are outlined below.
410 of 551

Terms of second mortgage have been modified based on guidance from HUD and to
improve the marketability of for-sale units. Whereas it was originally proposed that
all second mortgages would be forgiven over a five-year period and that appreciation
over 5 percent would be split with the City, current second mortgage terms differ. All
second mortgages use recapture provisions. For single-family homes, the second
mortgage has a fifteen year affordability period, regardless of the size of the loan.
For condominium units, the affordability period follows the HOME regulations and is
based on the amount of the direct subsidy to the homebuyer.
As stated in the City’s application and action plan, approximately 25 condominium
units will be acquired with NSP2 funds. We have sold five condos to date with little
issue regarding first mortgage financing, but are aware that some buyers may have
difficulty obtaining sufficient financing for condos, particularly for those that are not
FHA-approved. We have worked with two local banks, who have agreed to finance
condo purchases and hold those loans in their portfolios. However, they generally
restrict those loans to no more than 80 percent loan-to-value, even when a buyer
could qualify for a larger loan. To avoid over-subsidizing those potential buyers, the
City proposes to offer a second loan in addition to the forgivable loan used to
maintain the affordability restrictions using recapture. This additional loan would fill
the gap between what the bank will lend based on LTV and what a buyer can afford
so that all buyers are treated equitably. This additional loan would carry an interest
rate in line with the market and would be repaid to the City, generating additional
program income and reducing the potential of over subsidizing condo buyers.
In addition, the application stated that all scattered site rental units would target
households that earn no more than 50 percent of area median income. However, it
became apparent that the cash flow from the scattered-site rental portfolio would not
be sustainable for the 15-year affordability period if restricted to the LH25 target. In
addition, because of the close proximity of properties acquired, this would result in a
concentration of lowest income households rather than the desired mix of incomes
and tenures. Therefore, to maximize neighborhood stability, rental units will serve a
mix of low, moderate and middle income households as described in our Action
Plan.
Last, the scope of Emerson Square was reduced based on our grant award. The
application proposed approximately 100 units for the Emerson Square development.
However, that development has been divided into two phases and only the first
phase of the development will completed with NSP2 funding, yielding 32 units of
mixed-income rental. Twenty-eight of the units will be affordable to households
earning no more than 60 percent of area median income.
The change in scope for Emerson Square detailed above were reflected in the City’s
Action Plan and previously approved by HUD.
Inclusion of Land Banking and Demolition as an End Use in Action Plan
This substantial amendment requests that the City of Evanston be allowed to add
Eligible Use C – land banks for residential properties that are foreclosed or
411 of 551
5
abandoned. The amendment also requests permission to have demolition as an end
use. Currently demolition is approved for Emerson Square. The City is seeking to
add acquisition and demolition of foreclosed residential property under the
demolition activity. The proposed changes are detailed below.
As previously indicated, the condition of the foreclosed properties we have acquired
through NSP2 is significantly worse than anticipated in our original application. Most
of the properties require gut rehabilitation. Many properties have had significant
structural issues, including failing and in some cases, non-existent foundations, as
well as major plumbing and electrical systems deficiencies and code violations
discovered when walls are opened up. These issues are due to the length of time
properties have been vacant and to prior modifications and additions that were done
without permits that significantly increase project budgets. An Evanston architect
noted that the NSP2 properties he has worked on were in the worst condition he has
seen in the City in his almost 20 years of experience.
From the viewpoint of neighborhood stabilization, these are the very properties that
our program must address. However, due to these unforeseen circumstances, an
already constrained budget has become even tighter. The City requests approval to
include land banking among its HUD-approved activities to have increased flexibility
to meet its goal of mitigating the negative effects of 100 units of foreclosed and
abandoned housing. Land banking will allow time to secure additional funding and
ensure that when properties are in such poor condition that they must be demolished
rather than rehabbed, we will be able to undertake the most appropriate
development (in terms of number of units, tenure and income levels) to stabilize the
blocks and make optimal use of very limited land.
The City estimates that approximately five properties, accounting for 7-10 units of
our 100-unit goal would be entered into in a land bank. Currently, an affiliated-entity
of Brinshore Development takes title to NSP2 properties. If HUD grants permission
for properties to be land banked, title would be transferred to the City. The cost to
maintain the land banked properties would come from anticipated NSP2 program
income.
Properties currently being considered for land banking or demolition as an end use
are:
• 1941 Jackson Avenue. This property, built as a single family home and
converted to a two-flat, was acquired in August 2010. The 1900 block of
Jackson was once the block with the most police calls in the City. The City
has undertaken several efforts to reduce crime and increase the quality of life
here that have resulted in a 70 percent decrease in crime. In addition, this
property is located across the street from the second phase of Emerson
Square and its redevelopment could be included in that phase once financing
is secured. Given the progress that has been made in this block and the
property’s proximity to current development efforts, we believe it would be to
the neighborhood’s benefit to hold off on redevelopment of this key parcel so
that it can be incorporated into the larger Emerson Square project. A single-
412 of 551
6
family, for-sale property would be considered to diversify the types of housing
stock and tenancy, dependent on stabilization of the for-sale market and
financing.
In addition, Evanston Township High School recently expressed interest in a
building an affordable, for-sale home as part of its curriculum, following a
model established in Colorado. While this project is still in the exploratory
phase, 1941 Jackson has been considered as a potential site for this exciting
project. In that case, this property would meet an objective through demolition
and the home would be built and completed during the 2013-2014 school
year. This project would leverage additional funding in the form of building
materials and labor. It would also address City goals of expanding “hands on”
educational opportunities for youth who may not have post-secondary
education plans.
• 2122 Darrow Avenue. Bank of America donated this property to our NSP2
program in exchange for the City waiving $70,000 in fines for code violations
against the property. The property consists of a single family home on a
double lot that is adjacent to a City park. The City’s Building Official
determined that the house should be demolished based on its deteriorated
state. Current zoning would allow construction of up to four housing units on
the site, providing an incredible opportunity to add a small multi-family
building compatible with the character of the neighborhood that would further
expand affordable housing or offer the opportunity for a mixed-income
building on a desirable site in our landlocked community. However, given that
only one unit would count towards our 100-unit goal, it is not budget-efficient
to construct more, even though that would be the best and highest use for the
site. Land banking would allow time to secure sufficient funds to develop the
property for its highest and best use.
• 1509 Emerson Street. The original plan was to rehab this three-unit property
as rental. When walls were opened up following acquisition, it was discovered
that it was originally a single-story home (built in the late 1800s) to which two
floors were added for apartments over time. These additions compromised
the structural integrity of the building and resulted in the determination by the
developer and City building officials that the building should be demolished.
Due to its proximity to the Emerson Square project (less than 100 feet from
Gilbert Park which would be part of the second phase of the development),
1509 Emerson could be redeveloped as part of the second phase of Emerson
Square.
There may be a minimal number of additional properties identified among the
remaining units to be acquired that would be considered for land banking or
demolition in order to ensure that we undertake the optimal course of development.
Reallocation of Funds
As we proceeded to implement our NSP2 program, several changes to the budget
became necessary, particularly because the nature and location of foreclosed
413 of 551
7
properties available for purchase differed from our projections in our application
submitted in 2009. In addition, program income projections were not included in the
April 2011 update to the Action Plan. This reallocation of funds does not affect the
achievement of the City’s requirement to mitigate the negative effects of at least 100
units of foreclosed or abandoned housing. Following the direction of the City’s HUD
local field representative at the time, budgets were updated in DRGR in June 2012
to reflect these changes and they are explained as part of this Substantial
Amendment, as requested.
A summary of the changes is presented in the table below.

*Land bank line item includes carryings costs.
These changes are due to several factors:
• Our rental properties are now expected to be almost exclusively two- and
three-unit properties; larger properties that were in foreclosure in 2009 were
not available for acquisition following our grant award. Based on the
availability of properties that meet NSP2 and budget requirements, the
majority of our rental units are located in census tract 8092. Since we are
meeting our 50% AMI set aside requirement through rental, this results in
more of our LH25 funds being expended in that census tract.
• Also due to the type of eligible properties in census tract 8102, the
overwhelming majority of our for-sale units in this census tract are
condominiums. Acquisition costs for condos have been lower than anticipated
compared to our original budget. This allows a significant portion of those
funds to be reallocated to other activities, particularly the rehab of one- to
three-unit properties that require gut rehabilitation instead of moderate rehab
as anticipated in the original budget.

• The addition of $790,000 in City HOME funds for acquisition and rehab in the
Scattered Site phase enabled us to allocate more NSP2 financing to the
Emerson Square development.
All NSP2 funds invested in Emerson Square will be used toward our LH25
requirement, as 14 (44 percent) of the 32 units in the first phase of the project will
serve households earning no more than 50 percent of area median income. The
total project budget is approximately $15 million, of which $2.085 million is NSP2.
b. Project Completion Schedule. Revised project schedule is attached.
c. Income Targeting. The application originally called for all scattered site rental to
be for household earning no more than 50 percent of AMI. That is no longer the case
so in order to ensure the ongoing financial feasibility of our rental units and to
achieve a broader mix of incomes in census tract 8092 which has the majority of
NSP2 rental properties due to the available housing stock that meets NSP2
acquisition requirements.
d. Continued Affordability. All rental and single-unit, detached and semi-detached
properties will remain affordable for 15 years for rehab and 20 years for new
construction. Condominium units will follow HOME regulations based on the amount
of the second mortgage provided to the homebuyer.
e. Consultation, Outreach, Communication. Unchanged.
f. Performance and Monitoring. Unchanged.
4. Leveraging/Rubric
a. Leveraging. The City’s redevelopment plan is leveraging a significant amount of
non-Federal funds. However, the amount leveraged as presented in our original
application has been reduced due to the award amount being less than that
requested in the City’s original application. (The City requested $40.6 million in its
application and received an award of $18.15 million.) Please see attached
leveraging chart.
b. Rubric. Unchanged.
5. Energy Efficiency Improvements and Sustainable Development Factors
a. Transit accessibility. Unchanged.
b. Green building standards. Unchanged.
c. Re-use of cleared sites. The application states that 100 units will be put back in
service during the grant period. While it is the City’s intention to utilize all NSP2 –
acquired sites as residential, as we are requesting permission to land bank some
properties, all units will not be back in service with the grant period.
d. Deconstruction. Unchanged.

Executive Summary:
The City of Evanston&rsquos Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 provides Evanston a unique opportunity to provide quality, affordable
housing for its residents and workers in neighborhoods where foreclosures are escalating and homeowners are quickly losing their life
investment. The targeted census tracts are two primarily residential areas that substantially lag other parts of the city in new investment and
where the recent economic downturn has fueled rapid disinvestment. Our project will stabilize, improve market conditions, provide housing
and bring positive change to these areas of the City of Evanston.
Our NSP2 project employs two strategies. First, we will purchase and rehabilitate 100 foreclosed and vacant housing units throughout the
target geography for sale or rent at affordable rates. Second, we will purchase and redevelop vacant and blighted industrial property in west
Evanston for redevelopment as the first phase of Emerson Square, ultimately planned as a 90+-unit mixed-income community offering
apartments, townhomes, flats and single family homes for rental and ownership. Emerson Square will do much more than provide affordable
housing; it will jump-start implementation of the West Evanston Master Plan, a comprehensive land use plan that organizes residential,
commercial and recreational needs into a more livable, walkable community with a lifecycle of housing choice.
The combined strategies provide the opportunity to leverage outside capital and impact the targeted neighborhoods at an unprecedented
scale. Brinshore Development, our partner in this venture, brings experience and capacity in development projects of this scope. Combined
with the City's knowledge of community need and experience managing federal grant programs, we establish a team with the capacity to
implement our plan and accomplish its goals, and bring financing commitments to move the project forward.
Target Geography:
The City of Evanston&rsquos target geography consists of two census tracts, 8092 and 8102, identified by HUD as Areas of Greatest Need
based on their foreclosure and vacancy scores. Tract 8092 has a foreclosure score of 19 and vacancy score of 20; 8102 has a foreclosure
score of 17 and vacancy score of 19. The average max score for the target geography is 19.5.
Census tract 8092 in west Evanston has experienced the highest percentage of foreclosure starts in the entire city over the last two years.
Data from policymap.com indicate that foreclosure has been initiated on 18.75% of all mortgages in this tract. Located on the west side of
Evanston primarily in the Fifth Ward, tract 8092 has 46.5% owner-occupied units and 53.5% renter occupied units per the 2000 Census. Its
rental housing differs from traditional rental buildings throughout the City. There are few mid-size and no large multi-family rental buildings.
Many are smaller, frame buildings with one, two or three units that were converted from single family structures.
According to data from policymap.com, as of March 2009, over 11% of the residential units in tract 8092 were vacant, the highest percentage
of any area in the City of Evanston. As further evidence of the impact foreclosures have had on this neighborhood, of the 70 REOs in 2008, 52
or 57.8% were located in tract 8092.
Census tract 8102, with 2,640 occupied housing units in the 2000 census, is located in the southern area of Evanston primarily in the Eighth
Ward and is the second area of focus. Its housing characteristics and stabilization needs differ from those in 8092, as its housing is
predominantly multi-family, with many vintage, large courtyard buildings as well as three to six flats. A greater majority of its units are renter-
occupied, at 56.5%,with 43.5% owner-occupied. It is affected by the oversupply of condominium units on the market in Evanston and the
number of condominium owners facing foreclosure. As of March, 2009, 6% of all residential units in Census tract 8102 were vacant. From
January 2008, to May 31, 2009, there have been almost 50 REO properties in the tract, and over 40 foreclosure filings. The number of
foreclosures in this area threatens the stability of large condominium properties as well as the revitalization effects that redevelopment started
to bring to this area.
The residential condominium boom of the last eight years has impacted all areas of Evanston through property appreciation, but tract 8102
was more directly affected. The City has seen 38 new multi-unit residential developments built or under construction since 2000, creating over
2,300 new ownership units and about new 400 rental units. The new developments helped fuel increased interest in Evanston among both
developers and homebuyers, stimulating condominium conversions to supplement the new condominium supply. Of the 60 condominium
conversion projects affecting over 800 units in Evanston since 2000, 61% were located in tract 8102, where over 500 rental units were
converted to for-sale condo units.

Program Approach:
Evanston&rsquos program approach for NSP2 employs both rehabilitation and redevelopment strategies that will return foreclosed and
abandoned housing to productive use and jump start implementation of the West Evanston Master Plan, a comprehensive land use plan that
organizes residential, commercial and recreational needs into a more livable, walkable community with a lifecycle of housing choice. Our
program includes:
• The purchase and rehabilitation of 100 foreclosed and vacant housing units in the target geography for sale or rent at affordable rates.
• The purchase and redevelopment of vacant and blighted industrial property in west Evanston as Emerson Square, a new development
that will ultimately consist of 90+ housing units including apartments, townhomes, flats and single family homes for rental and ownership. The
first phase of this development, consisting of 30 rental units in townhomes and small flats, will be funded in part with NSP2 dollars.

For City Council meeting of January 28, 2013 Item P3
Ordinance 11-O-13 Special Use for a Type 2 Restaurant 1734 Sherman (Starbucks)
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Director, Community and Economic Development Department
Dennis Marino, Manager, Planning and Zoning Division
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner, Planning and Zoning Division
Subject: Ordinance 11-O-13, Granting a Special Use for a Type 2 Restaurant at
1734 Sherman Avenue
Date: January 16, 2013
Recommended Action
Zoning Board of Appeals and City staff recommend the adoption of Ordinance 11-O-13
granting a special use permit for the operation of a Type 2 Restaurant, Starbucks, at 1734
Sherman Avenue. The applicant has complied with all zoning requirements and meets all
of the standards of a special use for the D2 District. The Zoning Board of Appeals found
this as well in its findings for a positive recommendation.
Summary
The Starbucks currently located at 1726 Sherman Avenue, midblock between Church and
Clark Street, proposes to relocate four commercial spaces north, to 1734 Sherman
Avenue. The new location is nearly twice the size at approximately 3,000 square feet,
which will better fit the current business plan. Starbucks is not currently pursuing a liquor
license, however corporate may direct this location to serve beer and wine in the future as
some regional Starbucks locations currently do. A special use permit has no purview
over liquor license approval. All other aspects of the new location will be similar to the
current location at 1726 Sherman Avenue.
1734 Sherman Avenue is a currently vacant commercial space. T-Mobile occupies the
space just south, and Cosi restaurant is located directly north. Similar commercial uses
exist across the street, including Taco Bell and Wine Styles liquor. The property is zone
D2 Downtown Retail Core District, and is completely surrounded by other downtown
zoning districts. The U1 University Housing District is one block to the north on the east
side of Sherman Avenue.
The new location at 1734 Sherman Avenue will operate with the same business hours as
the current location, from 5:00am – midnight seven days a week. Four to five employees
will work at one time, and Starbucks estimates approximately the same amount of traffic
Memorandum
437 of 551
of 900-1000 customers per day. The new location will feature seating for up to 78 patrons
at one time. The projected carry-out business will remain the same, which is estimated at
85%. There is no on-site parking, so employees will be encouraged to take public
transportation, walk, bike, or park in a nearby parking garage. The applicant plans to
apply for a bike rack permit. Metered spaces are available on the street for customer use.
Store deliveries will be made once per week by a van that will deliver via the alley as it
does at the current location. Garbage pickup will also take place in the alley. The
applicant has no objection to the City’s Litter Collection and Litter Pickup Plan that is
typically required of Type 2 Restaurants. The building’s storefront will remain the same
other than signage and some window tinting (see elevations).
Neighborhood Benefit
This use should not cause any type of negative cumulative effect on the surrounding
neighborhood. The proposed location is a currently vacant space that is four spaces
north of the present restaurant location. This restaurant has done well at its current
location and would like to move to the new location to provide more indoor seating for its
patrons. The neighborhood should benefit from allowing an existing business to thrive
and provide better services to its neighborhood patrons, and continue to bring foot and
vehicular traffic that can then utilize other businesses in the area.
Comprehensive Plan
The Evanston Comprehensive General Plan encourages new development along existing
commercial corridors that can add to the property tax base, sales tax revenue, and
convenience for neighborhoods. The Comprehensive Plan specifically includes:
Objective: Promote the growth and redevelopment of business,
commercial, and industrial areas.
Objective: Retain and attract businesses in order to strengthen
Evanston’s economic base.
Objective: Recognize and support the strong role neighborhood
business districts play in Evanston’s economy and its
identity.
A special use for the proposed Starbucks restaurant will promote the existing commercial
area and benefit the nearby residential area and community as a whole.
Legislative History

New Business
1734 Sherman Avenue ZBA 12ZMJV-0084
Stan Weisbrod, architect, applies for a special use for a type 2 restaurant, Starbucks, at 1734
Sherman Avenue. 1734 Sherman Avenue is located in the D2 Downtown Retail Core District,
which requires a special use permit for a type 2 restaurant to operate (Zoning Code Section 6-
11-3-4). The Zoning Board of Appeals makes a recommendation to City Council, the
determining body for this case.
Mr. Weisbrod, John Bell and Fabiana Belous presented the proposed plan to relocate the
existing Starbucks from 1726 Sherman Avenue to 1734 Sherman Avenue.
Ms. Summers noted that the main difference is the size of the restaurant space and asked if that
would have any additional impact on the neighborhood. Mr. Bell responded that the additional
space is mostly for increased seating, so there should not be any additional impact.
Mr. Bell and Ms. Belous noted other issues that will remain the same at the new location:
• Hours of operation 5am – midnight seven days a week
• Employees are encouraged to park in public lots or take public transportation
• Perishable daily deliveries occur after midnight via the alley
• All other deliveries take place via the alley as well
• Dumpster is located in the alley but may be emptied 2x a week if needed instead of 1x a
week
Mr. Rodgers asked if any structural changes would be made to the façade, and Mr. Bell
responded that no structural changes would be made, but some of the window glass would be
tinted in different colors.

Ms. Summers asked if the applicant was aware of the Litter Collection and Pickup Plans that are
typical of special use approval, and Mr. Bell responded that they are aware and plan to abide by
the plans.
The Zoning Board members then entered into deliberations:
Mr. Rodgers noted that it is good to see Starbucks is doing well enough to want to expand its
location in the area to provide better service to its customers. Ms. Summers agreed.
The Standards were then discussed, and all of the Standards were found to be met.
Mr. Rodgers motioned to recommend approval with the following conditions:
1) Hours of operation 5am – midnight seven days a week
2) Litter Collection & Pickup Plans
3) The project must be within substantial compliance with the documents and testimony on
record.
Mr. Gingold seconded the motion, which was approved 5-0.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EVANSTON, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS:
SECTION 1:That the foregoing recitals are found as facts and
made a part hereof.
SECTION 2:That the City Council hereby finds as follows with
respect to the standards for special uses in Section 6-3-5-10 and for planned
developments in the Research Park District in Section 6-12-1-7 as applied to the
special use for a planned development for a mixed-use retail and multi-family
496 of 551
(A) The planned development, as approved,meets the standards for special
uses in Section 6-3-5-10 and the standards for special uses in the Research Park
District in Section 6-12-1-7 of the Ordinance,in that,among other reasons:
(1) Planned developments are a listed special use in the Research
Park District.
(2) The requested special use is in keeping with purposes and polices
of the Comprehensive General Plan (CGP) and the Zoning Ordinance in that the
property is located in the Research District.The planned development is
consistent with the goal of making downtown Evanston an attractive,convenient,
and economically vital center of diverse activity.The proposed use will develop a
vacant site and provide new housing and business activity to this area,adding to
the viability and success of the downtown. The Subject Property is located in
the Central Business District identified by the Comprehensive General Plan as
having a "mixture of office,retail, entertainment, institutional,and
residential uses".
(3) It will not cause a negative cumulative effect on various special
uses of all types in the immediate neighborhood and the City as a whole in that it
will enhance the tax base.
(4) It will not interfere with or diminish the value of property in the
neighborhood in that it will enhance the tax base.
(5) It can be adequately served by public facilities and services.
(6)It will not cause undue traffic congestion in that it is located near
existing commuter rail and public transit lines. All parking and loading facilities
will be accessed from Oak Avenue and no curb cuts will be added along
Emerson Street.The planned development will reduce potential vehicle traffic by
locating vehicular access along the public way which has less pedestrian traffic.
The City's Traffic Analysis indicates that added left turns from Oak Avenue onto
Emerson Street can be accommodated by adding extra green time to the east-
west Emerson Street corridor, and by prohibiting parking on the north side of
Emerson between Oak Avenue and Ridge Avenue during the afternoon peak
hours. The long-range solution is to upgrade the Emerson Street signals.
(7) The standard that the requested special use preserves significant
historical and architectural resources is inapplicable.The Subject Property is not
a landmark,nor is it in a Historic District.
497 of 551
(8) The standard that the requested special use preserves significant
natural and environmental features is inapplicable.
(9) It will comply with all other applicable requirements, except as
modified by this Ordinance 80-0-06, in that this Ordinance is conditioned upon
construction and operation of the subject planned development in accordance
with all applicable requirements.
498 of 551
(A) To allow a building of approximately two hundred feet (200')tall as
measured from grade to the top of the mechanical penthouse,with a maximum
defined building height of approximately one hundred eighty-five feet (185') as
measured from grade to the top of the roof. Section 6-12-2-8 of the Zoning
Ordinance otherwise permits a maximum height in the Research Park District of
eighty-five feet (85').Section 6-12-1-7(C) allows for a height increase over that
otherwise permitted to achieve the building density desired in the Research Park
Master Plan.
(8) To allow a floor area ratio of approximately eight and sixteen hundredths
(8.16).Section 6-12-2-6 otherwise permits a maximum floor area ratio of five
and eighteen hundredths (5.18).The site development allowance in Section
6-12-1-7(C)2 allows the maximum permitted floor area ratio, five and eighteen
hundredths (5.18),to increase by a maximum of two and zero hundredths (2.0),
for a total of seven and eighteen hundredths (7.18)otherwise allowed.
(A) Construction of the planned development approved hereby shall be in
substantial conformance with the approved Development Plan,attached hereto
as Exhibit 8 and made a part hereof,the terms and conditions of this Ordinance,
all other applicable legislation and requirements,and in accordance with
representations of the Applicant to the Site Plan and Appearance Committee,
Plan Commission,Planning and Development Committee.
(8) That the Applicant voluntarily agrees to make the following donations prior
to the issuance of a building permit:
(1)One hundred sixty-five thousand dollars ($165,000.00),which
represents the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per each of the
499 of 551
approved maximum one hundred sixty-five (165) dwelling units,to the Mayor's
Special Housing Fund,consistent with the Policy of the Comprehensive General
Plan to "encourage proposals from the private sector that will maintain the supply
of moderately-priced housing, both rental and owner-occupied";and
(2)Thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000.00) to the City to fund existing
and proposed City of Evanston youth job training programs,to repaint the viaduct
at the intersection of Emerson Street and Ridge Avenue,or to improve traffic flow
along Emerson Street between Ridge and Maple Avenues.
(C) That the Applicant will have, as a primary goal, the employment of twenty-
five (25) Evanston residents. Said residents,without regard to sex, race, or
ethnicity, can be sub-contractors or vendors to the development.The Applicant
will hire as many competent minority and/or women Evanston subcontractors,
workers,and residents as possible for the construction of this project.
(D) That the Developer will incorporate the cornerstones of the Emerson
YMCA and Butler buildings into the plaza along Emerson Street.

For Planning & Development Committee meeting of January 28, 2013 Item PD1
Status of Fountain Square Fountain
For Discussion
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Douglas J. Gaynor, Director, Parks, Recreation & Community Services
Subject: Status of the Fountain Square Fountain
Date: January 11, 2013
Recommended Action:
Alderman Fiske requested that the status of the Fountain Square fountain be place on
the Planning and Development Committee agenda for discussion.
Summary:
Fountain Square consists of three ponds and one mechanical pit, with the main pond
spilling into the two smaller ponds. The fountain is maintained like a typical swimming
pool with filtration, chemicals and a weekly physical sweeping. In 2006 the mechanical
pit was flooded due to a freeze event resulting in the need for a mechanical upgrade.
The upgrade’s scope included new mechanicals in the maintenance pit (except the
main filter), recoating the ponds, and raising the pavement level of the surrounding
plaza areas with new pavers. The upgrade did not include any underground piping or
underground electrical circuitry.
Today, the fountain’s condition is quickly deteriorating and requires much maintenance
on a seasonal and weekly basis. Currently the fountain needs a replacement frequency
drive, which is what controls the fountain height with direct relationship to wind speed,
more wind equals less fountain height.
The estimated cost to purchase the new frequency drive with programming is
approximately $3,000.00. The ponds require annual repairs to the wall coatings
because of spalling and cracks that develop over the season and winter. The specified
coating requires staff to purchase a 5 gallon pail of the coating product at a cost of
$350.00. This year we will be using a similar product that we will purchase for $80.00
per 5 gallon pail that should perform well. The sand change every year after the purple
die runs about $600.00.
