Special Order of Business: Mental Health Services
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Evonda Thomas, Health Director
Subject: Gaps in Services: Efficient and Effective Community Crisis Management
Date: February 13, 2013
Recommended Action:
The Mental Health Board and staff recommend that the City Council authorize the City
Manager to negotiate and sign an agreement with Presence Behavioral Health in the
amount of $55,000 to provide 24-hour crisis intervention, case management, outreach,
and home visitation for FY2013. The proposal from Presence Behavioral Health, which
fills this gap in services, is attached. A presentation regarding efficient and effective
crises case management will be presented at the City Council meeting on February 25,
2013.
Legislative
An Evanston Referendum calls for creation of the Evanston Mental Health Board, and
the Board is approved by City Ordinance. In November 1968, Evanston voters
approved submission of a referendum to create an Evanston Mental Health Board,
empowered to levy taxes and expand mental health services. The referendum passed
on April 1, 1969. Evanston was the first Illinois municipality to pass such a referendum.
Funding Source:
Funds are currently budgeted in the City Manager’s Contingency Fund and will be
transferred to Health Department in the next quarterly financial adjustment.
Summary:
City staff members from various departments met to discuss delivery of social services
in the City of Evanston such as how staff processes specific services requested by
residents and the procedures staff take to provide these services. The results revealed
that as City staff seek ways to consolidate and avoid duplication of services there are
several gaps between what residents request or require and what staff is able to
provide.

Business of the City by Motion: 2013 Economic Development Work Plan
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Steve Griffin, Community and Economic Development Director
Paul Zalmezak, Economic Development Coordinator
Johanna Nyden, Economic Development Coordinator
Subject: Adoption of 2013 Economic Development Work Plan
Date: February 25, 2013
Recommended Action:
The Economic Development Committee and staff recommend City Council adoption of
the 2013 Economic Development Work Plan.
Background
The proposed 2013 Work Plan is the result of an active 2012 which provided numerous
learning opportunities for economic development staff, city management, and elected
officials. Our private and non-profit sector partners along with engaged citizens
provided feedback, offered critiques and voiced their concerns through a number of
forums including City Council, economic development committee, CDBG committee, the
Economic Development Summit and the subsequent meetings inspired by the summit
including those hosted by Inventure, RISE, the Evanston Community Foundation,
EvanstArts, and one-on-one interviews with individual businesses and entrepreneurs.
As a result of the feedback provided by the local business community, residents, and
the City Council and recognition of shifting lifestyle preferences and demographic
changes, staff proposes updates to the adopted 2012 Economic Development Plan. In
addition to maintaining a focus on Arts & Entertainment, Entrepreneurship Development
& Growth Oriented Startups, and Water Industries, staff proposes adding three
additional areas of focus: 1) retail attraction and retention; 2) workforce development
partnerships; and 3) Quality of Place.
Legislative History:
The Economic Development Committee voted unanimously on January 23, 2013
meeting to recommend adoption of the draft 2013 Economic Development Work Plan.

City of Evanston Economic Development 2013 Work Plan
Introduction
This targeted, implementable, and measureable 2013 Work Plan is the result of an
active 2012 featuring learning opportunities for economic development staff, city
management, and elected officials. Our private and non-profit sector partners along
with engaged citizens provided feedback, offered critiques and voiced their concerns
through a number of forums including City Council, economic development committee,
CDBG committee, the Economic Development Summit and the subsequent meetings
inspired by the summit including those hosted by Inventure, RISE, the Evanston
Community Foundation, EvanstArts, and one-on-one interviews with individual
businesses and entrepreneurs.
As a result of the feedback provided by the local business community, residents, and
the City Council and recognition of shifting lifestyle preferences and demographic
changes updates to the adopted 2012 Economic Development Plan are proposed:
Maintain focus on the sectors of Arts & Entertainment, Entrepreneurship
Development & Growth Oriented Startups, and Water Industries)
Add three additional areas of focus: retail attraction and retention; workforce
development partnerships; and “Quality of Place”
While the 2012 plan recognized that the community must support baby boomers and
our aging population, this update recommends addressing residents, workers, and
visitors of all ages. In an article in January 2013 edition of Governing magazine, a
representative from the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP)
acknowledges that “most of the features that attract older people to a community are the
same ones that draw younger residents.” Age -friendly communities feature “public
transportation, different options for housing, lifelong learning opportunities, a robust arts
and cultural scene, walkability and urban spaces.” Based on census population data,
this trend appears to be playing out in Evanston – over 50 percent of Evanston’s
population is part of the Generation X or Y cohort.
The addition of retail retention and attraction as a focus area helps support the
ongoing health and vitality of Evanston’s business district. The retail market is in
constant flux and the increasing competition posed by online retailing and the resulting
downsizing of the national retail footprint poses unique challenges for Evanston. Staff
has already started the tasks of data collection, developing relationships with retail
brokers, and initiating proactive outreach to national and regional retailers to gauge their
interest in Evanston. Staff is also exploring unique “incubation” models to encourage
home based businesses to open in storefronts
City staff will work closely with workforce development focused non-profits to identify
opportunities to support programs aimed at comprehensive training to help empower
individuals of all ages overcome barriers to full participation in the workforce. Staff will
identify effective ways of linking Evanston’s socio-economically diverse population to
the network of workforce development resources.

City of Evanston Economic Development Work Plan 2013 P a g e | 2
Contrasted with traditional “quality of life” indicators such as climate, park acreage per
resident, or school test scores, “Quality of Place” represents the elements defining a
city’s attractiveness to residents and businesses. As defined by Richard Florida, Quality
of Place is:
“1. The combination of the built environment and the natural environment; a
stimulating, appealing setting for the pursuit of creative lives; 2. Diverse
people of all ethnicities, nationalities, religions, and sexual orientations,
interacting and providing clear cues that this is a community where anyone
can fit in and make a life. 3. The vibrancy of the street life, café culture,
arts, and music; the visible presence of people engaging in outdoor
activities—altogether a lot of active, exciting, creative goings-ons”
- Richard Florida, Urban Land Magazine 10/11/2012
Economic Development staff will explore opportunities to grow Evanston’s economy by
pursuing new and retaining existing businesses that continue to enhance Evanston’s
quality of place characteristics. The addition of “Quality of Place” to the 2013 update
recognizes that there are a number of qualities within Evanston that make it a
distinctive, attractive and compelling place to live, to visit and to start a business that
differentiate it from other Chicago suburbs and Chicago itself. These qualities need to
be protected, promoted, and preserved.

Retail
Purpose:
Retail formats continue to evolve to smaller footprints as an increasing volume of
transactions occur online. To protect their interest, nearby shopping centers reportedly
restrict their tenants from expanding within a specific radius. As a result, Evanston’s
ability to attract a broad range of national retailers is limited . Therefore Evanston
economic development staff will proactively pursue a multifaceted effort to expand the
retail sales tax base balancing unique local retail with desired national retailers by:
1. Pursuing national retailers in targeted categories
2. Seeking expansion or relocation of appealing independent retailers from
throughout Chicago area
3. Cultivating the expansion of home based retail into vacant storefronts
4. Supporting creation of new retailers through incubation and other means
5. Developing strong relationships with the retail brokerage community
Work Plan Actions:
1. Conduct retail preference survey of residents, employees, employers and
students, to identify retail opportunities.
2. Identify and pursue national retailers, regional chains, and Chicago neighborhood
businesses seeking to expand or relocate.
3. Design and implement a retail incubation program supporting the creation of
storefront spaces for home-based businesses or individuals with ideas but limited
capital.
4. Actively pursue favorite out of town shops for potential Evanston expansion
5. Repurpose and rebrand Façade Program as Storefront Improvement Fund to
include interior build out in addition to façade.
6. Stay abreast of latest market conditions including creating a list of retail leads,
researching typical space needs of desired retailers; identify leakage
opportunities through ESRI Business analyst, and monitoring Evanston retail
vacancies.
7. Work closely with Bonnie Management to identify tenants for Evanston Plaza.
8. Identify indoor family oriented activities including children’s museum, bowling,
inflatable play/bounce house; creative studios (e.g. Make a Messterpiece or
Robot City Workshop).

Purpose

approximately three million dollars/year on Capital. He stated, the water lines on Central
Street have broken thirteen times this year. He accused staff of not supplying enough fire

negotiations”.

He also passed out pictures of the station that have no benches for the passengers to sit
while waiting for the train‟s arrival. He stated it was the only Metra station that does not
have benches for sitting or a warm place to wait. He stated the waiting room that Metra
says is open is not open at all, and wishes the Council would do something about it.
Gloria Nance, 1325 Dewey spoke of the concerns she and the family of Juvar Bamberg
having unanswered questions about his death, which they are calling it a murder/
assassination. She accused that no one has given them any information about his death,
his transportation of his body, and the lack of notification to his mother and father who
lived only a block and a half away. She stated that everyone else knew of the death, even
the newspaper but his parents were not informed. The Mayor offered her condolences to
Mrs. Nance, as Mrs. Nance continued with more questions of what should have
happened in a timely manner.
Police Chief Eddington came forward to answer some of the questions that Mrs. Nance
had alluded to. The Chief echoed the sentiments of the Mayor, he stated „the Fire
Department was contacted and they ran a strip which showed nothing and the Fire
Department personnel called the Hospital relayed the information on the strip, and the
Doctor pronounced him dead, Police Officers do not make those kind of decisions. He
explained that conversations with the family by Victim Services personnel have occurred
with Mr. Bamberg, Sr. He stated the investigation into the death is still ongoing and they
are moving as expeditiously as possible to bring the case to a close”. Again he expressed
his condolences for their loss to the family.
Padma Rao, 2246 Sheridan Rd. stated her mother could not be here tonight, but wanted
her daughter to read her statements. She referred to the Kendall trees that were
condemned to die, and that the votes were collected outside of public view. The Mayor
stated Padma Rao was out of order, and Ms. Rao told the Mayor s he was out of order
and that she did not have to accept her whitewash of the issue. She once again
mentioned the Law Firm of Holland & Knight, as well as the actions of the 8 th ward
Alderman and her “wine & cheese bar”. She then stated in her own words her concerns
of how the Council and the Mayor have disregarded the fundamental rights of the tax
payers, and how the Council does not want the public to hear the truth from her and her
mother. She too spoke of the Kendall trees issue and the Holland & Knight.
Fay Kaiser, 927 Noyes stated that Wally and Doug been meeting with them, but nothing
has happened yet. She stated the tenants have been kept out of the discussions and she

provides for a 3% annual increase from last year’s fee. Funding is provided
by the Parking Fund (7036.62425).
A voice vote was taken and A3.4 was approved unanimously.
(A3.5) Approval of Renewal of Annual Azteca Cityworks Maintenance and Support
Agreement
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
a renewal of the annual sole source maintenance and support agreement
for the term February 21, 2013 through February 20, 2014 with Azteca
Systems Inc. (11075 South State Street, Sandy, UT) for Cityworks work
order and service request management software in the amount of $22,405,
with no increase over 2012 fee. Funding is provided by: Utilities
Department for $10,702.86 (7125.62340) and $2,100 (7410.62340); and by
Public Works Department for $9,602.14 (CIP Account 416393).
A voice vote was taken and A3.5 was approved unanimously.
(A3.6) Approval of Contract Award for Third Party Administration of General &
Automobile Liability and Worker’s Compensation Claims to Cannon
Cochran Management Services, Inc. (RFP 12-182)
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
execute a contract for Third Party Administration (TPA) of General &
Automobile Liability and Worker’s Compensation Claims with Cannon
Cochran Management Services, Inc., (3333 Warrenville Road, Suite 550,
Lisle, IL) for an estimated annual amount of $85,000. Funding is provided
by the Insurance Fund (7800.62266).
A voice vote was taken and A3.6 was approved unanimously.
(A4) Resolution 4-R-13 Authorizing that Payments Relating to the FY 2013
Capital Improvement Plan Projects Be Reimbursed by the Subsequent 2013
General Obligation Bond Issuance
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 4-R-13 by which City Council
would authorize that payments relating to FY 2013 Capital Improvement
Plan (C.I.P.) project expenditures up to $10,039,250 be reimbursed by the
subsequent 2013 General Obligation (G.O.) bond issuance.
Ald. Rainey asked if there would be a staff report prepared on this matter and M.
Lyons replied that each year a reimbursement resolution was prepared because
we have held off on issuing bonds until the very last possible minute. That means
we tend to use reserves until we have no reserves left to use. A lot of that has to
do with our earning ½ point interest on our reserves but pay 3% on our bonds.

Rev. 2/18/2013 10:45:31 AM
To hold off we can save 2% of ten million dollars. To use the debt issued we
have to have a reimbursement resolution on file so potential bond buyers can
see what the bond proceeds are being used for. Ald. Rainey asked if Mr. Lyons
knew what the interest rate would be on bond sales. M. Lyons replied that it will
still be between 3 and 4 percent on a twenty year issue. Since the market is
going that way, we may move forward in May/June rather than in July/August as
we have in the past. Ald. Rainey asked if all the expenditures have been voted
on and approved by the Council. M. Lyons said that they are all CIP approved by
the Council. Ald. Burrus wondered how much the City’s bond debt is and M.
Lyons replied that it is approximately 153 million in general obligation debt and
80 million in IEPA loan debt. Ald. Rainey asked if the IEPA all came out of the
sewer fund. M. Lyons said nearly all; there is a small debt in the water fund.
A voice vote was taken and A4 was approved unanimously.
(A5) Resolution 10-R-13, Dempster Street Traffic Signal Modernization and
Coordination Project Phase I Engineering Agreements
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 10-R-13 authorizing the City
Manager to sign the Local Agency Agreement with the Illinois Department
of Transportation (IDOT) and the Preliminary Engineering Services
Agreement with Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc., (HLR) (380 Shepard
Drive, Elgin IL) in the amount of $66,049 for the Dempster Street traffic
signal modernization and coordination project. Funding is provided by the
West Evanston TIF Fund (587025) in the amount of $10,000 and the CIP
Fund (415940) in the amount of $60,000 for a total budgeted amount of
$70,000.
Ald. Braithwaite liked the idea that local meetings would be held. He asked
about what the meeting process will be and what about traveling on Dempster
during the construction period. Suzette Robinson (Director of Public Works)
answered that there would be an impact on Dempster Street. She continued, as
far as the meeting coordination, the work schedule has not been set as of yet.
There will be meetings with the consultants and within a month we can announce
the schedule for meeting with the residents at that time.
A voice vote was taken and A5 was approved unanimously.
(A6) Ordinance 6-O-13 Amending Title 10, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Section
10-12-2: Violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance 6-O-13 amending
Title 10, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Section 10-12-2 providing for the ability
to issue City Code violations in accordance with the Illinois Vehicle Code.
Ald. Rainey said she couldn’t figure out if the City was going to give tickets. And
she asked, what violations are you addressing? Rickey Voss (Revenue/Parking
Manager) stated that equipment violations such as not using seatbelts or
taillights not working are two examples. When they go to court, if proof can be
shown that the violation has been fixed, there will probably be no fine required.
Ald. Rainey asked if he thought the City is going to be better off. R. Voss said
yes. Ald. Rainey asked if these are added to other tickets. R. Voss said they are
and five means you will be booted. Ald. Burrus wondered how loud the music
must be for the City to issue a ticket. R. Voss replied that when he was on the
47 of 357
Page 5 of 6
Rev. 2/18/2013 10:45:31 AM
street, if he could hear the noise a quarter block away, he issued a ticket. Ald.
Grover thought the ordinance had a 75 foot ruling in it. Ald. Holmes asked about
a lost license plate. R. Voss told her that the State of Illinois requires two plates.
For a small fee they will issue a replacement plate. Chief Eddington (Chief of
Police) mentioned that retired Police Sergeant Voss was correct. The Police are
stricter concerning enforcement depending on the situation. If it is an issue with
a resident, they should phone the complaint to the Police. Usually a couple of
tickets end the situation at that site. Ald. Rainey asked if he knew why Illinois
required two plates. Many states do not. M. Lyons said he did not expect Chief
Eddington or Mr. Voss to know the answer.
A voice vote was taken and A6 was approved unanimously.
(A7) Ordinance 18-O-13, Amending Title 9 of the City Code Regarding Soliciting
and Panhandling
Staff recommends consideration of Ordinance 18-O-13. This ordinance was
introduced at the January 28, 2013 City Council meeting and referred for
further consideration on February 11, 2013 at the Administration and Public
Works Committee meeting.
Chair Grover stated that this item has already been introduced to the full Council
and was sent back to committee for revisions/amendments. It is now open for
discussion. Ald. Rainey said that she felt allowing panhandling, if there is no
clear posting on the door, until 9 p.m. is intrusive. I would like to see the time as
7 p.m. She added that the sign for the door might be provided by the City. It
could be taken from the City website with the suggested verbiage and the
residents could down-load it and use it. Ald. Grover thought the time change
was good. Ald. Rainey said she would like to see this change incorporated as an
amendment to the ordinance. Grant Farrar (Corporation Counsel/City Attorney)
said that for the purpose of clarity, B3 is for soliciting and B4 addresses
panhandling. With regard to the question of exceptions, they are not clearly
defined in the ordinance. There are lots of exceptions that would be hard to
incorporate. But, I feel the time change to 7 p.m. is good. We have listened to
your comments and suggestions and those of the residents while crafting this
ordinance. I feel that we have done our due-diligence. Ald. Grover asked if this
could be prosecuted as a public nuisance and G. Farrar relied that it would. Ald.
Grover inquired into the fine charged. G. Farrar said that they can be from $50 to
$500. It is tailored to fit the set of facts. There is some leeway in enforcing the
ordinance. Ald. Holmes asked if the times for both solicitation and panhandling
could not match as from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for all six days. G. Farrar said we ca n
do that. Ald. Rainey asked if solicitors are licensed. G. Farrar was not sure. The
current version of this ordinance does not speak to it. Ald. Rainey stated that
means the City has no code about licensing. Ald. Grover said that the committee
should send this ordinance to Council with the time adjustments shown.
A voice vote was taken and A7 was approved, with time changes, unanimously.
IV. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
(APW1) Discussion of 727/729 Howard Street (City Lit) Project
Stephen Griffin began the discussion by saying that the City and City Lit continue
to be in negotiations exploring a ten year loan. Other resources such as an
48 of 357
Page 6 of 6
Rev. 2/18/2013 10:45:31 AM
amusement tax are currently being examined. A bar at the facility has also been
mentioned. Storage and offices could go into a one story building near by. Ald.
Rainey said that it would be interesting to have minutes from these meetings.
She admitted forgetting some things City Lit does such as working with grade
schools. There is an all girl Shakespeare group that allows them to do all the
roles and learn much, S. Griffin thought that each week more would be
accomplished.
VI. COMMUNICATIONS
VII. ADJOURNMENT

To: Suzette Robinson, Director of Public Works
From: Joseph McRae, Deputy City Manager
Subject: Bid No. 12-183 Contract for Transmission Repair
Date: February 18, 2013
The goal of the Minority, Women, and Evanston Business Enterprise Program
(M/W/EBE) is to assist such businesses with opportunities to grow. In order to
help ensure such growth, the City has established a 25% M/W/EBE
subcontracting participation goal for general contractors. However, RFP 12-183
Contract for Transmission Repair precludes subcontracting opportunities.

Business of the City by Motion: Purchase of Concrete
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Suzette Robinson, Director of Public Works
James Maiworm, Superintendent of Streets and Sanitation
Subject: Contract Extension for Purchase of Concrete
Date: February 25, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approval of a one year contract extension for the
purchase of 350 cubic yards of concrete at a cost of $97 per cubic yard, 200 cubic yards
of high early strength concrete at a cost of $118.00 per cubic yard, and 50 cubic yards
of flowable fill at a cost of $86.00 per cubic yard to Ozinga Ready Mix Concrete, Inc.
(2222 South Lumber Street, Chicago, IL) for a total of $64,000, which includes no price
increase over last year.
Funding Source:
Funding is provided by the FY 2013 General Fund Street and Alley Account
(2670.65055) in the amount of $48,800 ($125,000 budgeted), the Water Fund Account
(7115.65051) in the amount of $7,600 ($27,600 budgeted), and the Sewer Fund
Account (7400.65051) in the amount of $7,600 ($27,600 budgeted).
Summary:
In May 2011, staff solicited bids for the purchase of concrete. The proposed contract
was for a one-year period with the right to extend the contract for up to four, one-year
periods. This is the second one-year contract extension.
Per the terms of the contract, staff has negotiated with Ozinga RMC, Inc. to establish
the purchase price based on the market conditions and other competitive bid pricing in
the area. Based on market conditions, no price increase will occur this year. Ozinga’s
Evanston plant has been the provider of concrete for the Public Works Department’s in-
house street and sidewalk maintenance program for over ten years. The contract terms
include a provision in which the City can increase or decrease the quantities of concrete
purchased by 30%.
Memorandum
91 of 357
Page 2 of 2
To ensure that the price quoted by Ozinga was competitive, staff solicited quotes from
two additional vendors for 350 cubic yards of basic concrete and received verbal quotes
of $99.50 per cubic yard and $106 per cubic yard. The 97.00 bid price from Ozinga is
the lowest quote and $.04 less than last year’s quote from Ozinga. Therefore, staff
recommends awarding a one-year contract extension for concrete to Ozinga.

afternoon parade, and ending with the evening concert at Dawes Park and award
winning musical fireworks extravaganza. The $10,000 contribution will provide more
financial resources to fund musical acts during the celebration.

Jose Calderon, Division IT Manager
Jennifer Spaulding, Applications and Development Manager
Subject: Renewal of Annual Oracle (EnterpriseOne) Maintenance and Support
Agreement
Date: February 25th, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval to renew the annual sole source maintenance and support
agreement for the term March 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014 with Oracle
Corporation (20 Davis Drive, Belmont, California) for the City's EnterpriseOne software
in the amount of $136,717.32, a decrease of $12,657.40 (8.4%) off the original 2013
renewal price. In preparation of the City’s migration towards the New World Financial
System, staff was able to eliminate support on portions of EnterpriseOne maintenance
and support agreement and reduce cost to the City. Payments to Oracle Corporation
will be made quarterly in four equal payments of $34,179.33.
Funding Source:
Funding is provided by the Computer Licensing and Support operating account in the
Information Technology Division. Account: 1932.62340 – 2013 Budget $167,000.
Summary:
Annual maintenance and support agreements are standard in the technology industry
and are typically assessed by software companies to continuously improve software
applications as well as to fund support centers with skilled employees for customers in
order to resolve problems as quickly as possible. The City, as a customer with an active
maintenance and support agreement, has access to all available fixes, updates,
upgrades and enhancements to the software as well as access to online and telephone
customer support.
Memorandum
95 of 357
In addition to support requests, the City routinely applies system updates to fix system
program bugs as well as download Oracle software updates/patches for Federal and
State regulatory changes, primarily related to the payroll module. Annual maintenance
also includes critical year-end updates specific to Payroll and Accounts Payable wage
reporting (W2 and 1099).
This is a sole source request because the only option for comprehensive maintenance
and support of the EnterpriseOne application is the Oracle Corporation as the developer
and distributor of the software. There are independent third-party businesses that
provide support for Oracle software through their own customized programming and
fixes. Given that the City will be in the process of converting two mission critical systems
(payroll and accounts payable), staff does not feel the risk is worth the potential savings
achieved by going with a third party support vendor.
History:
The City’s current Enterprise system, EnterpriseOne, was implemented in 2003. On
December 10, 2012 City Council approved a contract with New World Systems to
replace EnterpriseOne.
Alternatives:
Currently, there are no practical alternatives to this renewal. City staff has investigated
the possibility of a third-party provider for support. Third-party support providers
advertise as much as 50% savings over Oracle’s annual support but come with a
sizeable amount of risk. The software code that comprises EnterpriseOne is proprietary
to Oracle. Any third-party modifications to the software to repair problems would not be
supported by Oracle, thus eliminating access to any software upgrades or updates
released by Oracle and making it difficult and costly to return to Oracle for support
during 2013/14 if necessary.

For City Council meeting of February 25, 2013 Item A4
Business of the City by Motion: Change Order for SCADA Engineering Services
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: David Stoneback, Utilities Director
Lara Biggs, Superintendent – Construction & Field Services
Subject: Approval of Change Order No. 3 for Evanston Water Utility SCADA
Phase III Engineering Services (RFP 08-74)
Date: February 14, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Change
Order No. 3 in the amount of $6,250 and grant a time extension of 60 calendar days, to
the agreement with CDM Smith, Inc. (125 South Wacker Drive, Suite 600, Chicago, IL),
for the Evanston Water Utility SCADA Phase III Engineering Services (RFP 08-74).
Funding Source:
Funding is provided by the Water Fund Account 733078.
Background Information:
The Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is used to monitor and
control water treatment plant operations as well as to collect critical data required for
reporting to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Originally installed in 1982,
the existing system was upgraded in 1993, but it has become difficult to maintain since
replacement parts are no longer available.
In May 2008, the City Council approved an agreement with CDM Smith for an initial
study and then preparation of performance specifications and drawings for the
replacement of SCADA system at the Evanston Water Utility.
In June 2009, the City approved an extension of the contract with CDM Smith for Phase
III Engineering Services, to provide oversight of the contractor that would perform the
design/build portion of the new SCADA system.
The design/build contract to install the SCADA system was awarded to Allan Integrated
Control Systems (Allan ICS) in May 2011. This contract established a completion date
of December 30, 2012. In November 2012 the City Council approved a no cost, time
Memorandum
105 of 357
extension to the contract with Allan ICS extending the contract completion date to April
30, 2013.
The two previous change orders to the contract with CDM Smith were for:
Change Order 1 – This change order was for the production and delivery of 32
sets of bid documents in the amount of $3,066.28. There was no time extension
associated with this change order.
Change Order 2 – This change order extended the contract completion date to
February 28, 2013 to accommodate the delay in bidding the project until
sufficient funding was available.
Summary:
A previous change order with the contractor installing the SCADA equipment, Allan ICS,
was granted extending the contract completion date to April 30, 2013. However, the
contract with CDM Smith, overseeing the contractor’s work, was not extended at the
same time. This proposed change order will extend the contract completion date for
CDM Smith to the same date. Since only minimal observation was required while the
equipment was being manufactured, the engineer has sufficient hours remaining in the
original contract to perform the observation work through April without any increase in
cost.
The additional cost requested in this change order is to have CDM Smith purchase
programming software and install it onto a laptop computer provided by the City. This
software will allow City staff to make programming changes to the SCADA software in
the different control panels located at various locations throughout the treatment plant
and at the remote sites. The total change order amount is $6,250, of which $5,700 is
for the purchase of the programming software and $550 is for the labor to install the
programming software onto the laptop.
A summary of the project funding is as follows:

agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a
Member of Congress regarding the award of federal assistance, or the extension,
continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any federal assistance agreement;
and
2. If any funds other than federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to any
person to influence or attempt to influence an officer or employee of any federal agency,
a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a
Member of Congress in connection with any application for federal assistance, the
Grantee assures that it will complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to
Report Lobbying," including information required by the instructions accompanying the
form, which form may be amended to omit such information as authorized by 31 U.S.C.
1352.
3. The language of this certification shall be included in the award documents for all
subawards at all tiers (including subcontracts, subgrants, and contracts under grants,
loans, and cooperative agreements).
The Grantee understands that this certification is a material representation of fact upon which
reliance is placed and that submission of this certification is a prerequisite for providing federal
assistance for a transaction covered by 31 U.S.C. 1352. The Grantee also understands that any
person who fails to file a required certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than
$10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each such failure.
C. Nondiscrimination Assurance. As required by 49 U.S.C. 5332 (which prohibits discrimination

in the level and quality of transportation services and transportation-related benefits) for which the
Grantee receives federal assistance.
Specifically, during the period in which federal assistance is extended to the project, or project

The inability of the Grantee to certify to the certification in this section will not necessarily result in
denial of participation in this Agreement. The Grantee shall submit an explanation of why it
cannot provide the certification in this section. This certification is a material representation of fact
upon which reliance was placed when CMAP determined whether to enter into this transaction. If
it is later determined that the Grantee knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to
other remedies available to the federal government, CMAP may terminate this Agreement for
cause. The Grantee shall provide immediate written notice to CMAP if at any time the Grantee
learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of
changed circumstances. The terms “covered transaction,” “debarred,” “suspended,” “ineligible,”
“lower tier covered transaction,” “participant,” “person,” “primary covered transaction,” “principal,”

will include the clause titled “Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and
Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transaction,” provided by CMAP, without modification,
in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions. The
Grantee may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered
transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible or voluntarily excluded from the covered
transaction, unless the Grantee knows the certification is erroneous. The Grantee may decide the
method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. The Grantee may, but
is not required to, check the Non-procurement List. If the Grantee knowingly enters into a lower
tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible or voluntarily
excluded from participation, in addition to other remedies available to the federal government,
CMAP may terminate this Agreement for cause or default.
Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to require establishment of a system of
records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this section. The knowledge
and information of the Grantee is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a
prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

2013 Bike Plan Update
Section 2. General
2.1 Project Type – Integrated Transportation and Land Use Plan
The City of Evanston has undertaken multiple complementary planning initiatives in recent years
to improve the quality of life of its residents, improve the business climate, and promote
environmental sustainability. The Evanston Comprehensive General Plan includes a goal of
building a community that offers safe, affordable and easily accessible alternatives to the
automobile. In addition the City’s Multi-Modal Transportation Plan compliments this goal by
encouraging the City to build upon its distinct character derived from its geographic, economic,
and cultural strengths to enrich its community and promote walking, bicycling, and mass transit
ridership. The City of Evanston has a unique character that mixes the charm of a typical
suburban development with the dynamics of a city. However, understanding this, the City is
concerned with prohibiting some of the nuisances that come with a highly populated area, such
as higher emissions levels. In 2010, the City Council adopted two goals, safety and
implementation of the Climate Action Plan. Each has objectives to enhance bicycle access and
safety through infrastructure improvements and modifications, which become that much more
important.
Therefore, it is the intent of Evanston’s Public Works Department to use the framework of the
aforementioned plans to complete an update to the 2003 Bicycle Plan, Strategic Plan, and
achieve the following four goals:
Gather feedback from residents and stakeholders via a robust community engagement
plan,
introduce enhancements to the existing bikeways and pedestrian networks,
guide the City across the last mile to 21st Century livability standards- place based
economic development, active lifestyle options and sensible environmental stewardship,
and establish safe biking connection with adjacent neighboring communities.
These goals will sustain Evanston’s ongoing commitment to its multi-modal transportation
network.
2.2 Project Goals & Objectives
The update to the Evanston Bicycle System Improvement Plan will ensure that all new
infrastructure, programming and policy updates reflect the current needs of the residents, the
increased acceptance of multi-modal transportation alternatives and 21st century tools, such as
a Complete Streets Policy, buffered and protected bike lanes, innovative pedestrian bike storage
and pedestrian safety facilities.
The updated plan will combine efforts with Evanston’s Strategic Plan Goals:
132 of 357
2013 Bike Plan Update
Create and maintain functionally appropriate, sustainable, and accessible high quality
infrastructure and facilities.
Protect and optimize the City’s natural resources and built environment, leading by
example through sustainable practices and behaviors.
Coordinate and influence transportation resources to provide an improved system that is
safe, integrated, accessible, responsive, understandable, efficient, and meets the needs of
all people.
The updated plan will be guided by Evanston’s three value areas: economic viability,
environmental sustainability and strengthening community.
2.3 Relationship to Past and Present Studies
The City’s multi-modal approach to transportation is demonstrated in the 2003 Evanston Bicycle
System Improvement Plan, the Multi-Modal Transportation Plan, Evanston Climate Action Plan,
the City’s Strategic Plan, the Comprehensive General Plan, and in the City Council’s goals for
2010, 2011, and 2012. The City of Evanston is a signature of the U.S. Conference of Mayor’s
Climate Protection Agreement and is committed to meeting or beating the Kyoto Protocol goals.
To this end, the City is committed to reducing gas emissions below 2005 levels by the end of
2012. The Evanston Climate Action Plan, adopted in 2008, to establish strategies to meet the
reduction goal. The City identified transportation as a significant source of emissions and
established ten key strategies to reduce emissions in this area. Fully implementing the 2003
Evanston Bicycle Plan and the 2008 Evanston Multi-Modal Transportation Plan were two of the
strategies in this category. The update to the Evanston Bicycle System Improvement Plan will
ensure that all new commitments and technologies mirror the long range planning efforts.
2.4 How the end product will be approved or adopted? What is the applicant’s willingness to
implement the recommendations from the plan? Efforts to implement may include
commitment of funding or staff resources, seeking out grant funds, or willingness to make
land use policy changes.
The business of the City of Evanston is determined by the City Council. City Council is made up of
its 9 Aldermen and Mayor. Together the City Council would be the authority to determine
approval or adoption of the updated Bike Plan. The City Council has demonstrated its
commitment to bicycle safety by adopting goals that include pedestrians, bicyclists, traffic and
crime prevention as one of its top ten goals for 2012 and the previous two years. This year the
Evanston City Council and public embraced the Public Works Department’s initiative to design
and construct a protected bike path along Church Street that will connect the Lake Front Bike
Path to the North Shore Channel Bike Path. The City has plans to recreate a return protected
path along Davis Street and a future north/south track, but need a consolidated and updated
bike plan to accomplish this in a cohesive manner.
133 of 357
2013 Bike Plan Update
The City is extremely committed to seeing the updated bike plan through to implementation. In
fact, by consolidating the other related plans into an updated Bike Plan, it not only simplifies
goals, but also allows the City to update the Plan to more current trends that meet current
needs of the residents and visitors. City staff will implement improvements through in house
design and available capital improvement funds; seek grant funds where needed; and
recommend formalization of land use changes, where needed.
2.5 What entities or individuals do you intend to specifically include in the study process?
Evanston is honored to have a plethora of community groups invested in the health and welfare
of the City. The study would include all of the members of the various environmental groups,
the biking advocacy groups, the healthy initiative organizations, and the citizen transportation
groups. The business community is well-represented by EvMark dba Downtown Evanston and
the Chamber of Commerce and will be a major stakeholder. The Evanston Community
Foundation, the YMCA and the YWCA will also be included in the planning process. The City
works with the leading employers on a continuous basis including hospitals and Northwestern
University. Neighboring communities would also be part of the planning process. But the most
important stakeholders are the people most impacted by recommended strategies, the
everyday users of Evanston’s transportation network. Finally, the city also intends to include
coordination with the neighboring communities and the Illinois Department of Transportation in
this study process.
2.6 Explain how you will engage the public during the planning process.
Community engagement is the organized, interactive partnership between the City of Evanston
and its residents. Evanston has a rich history of community engagement and is committed to
understanding the community’s current transportation needs and concerns. The planning
consultant and the City will assemble a steering committee composed of a diverse set of
stakeholders representing the voices of business, advocates, residents, schools, commuters,
neighboring communities and city staff. Representatives from the various groups mentioned in
2.5 will be invited to join the steering committee. These stakeholders will be engaged in goal
setting and prioritization activities that will help shape the plan’s objectives. The members will
also help the planning consultants to identify key audiences for public engagement. The City
anticipates hosting a community workshop and specialized focus groups. The open house will be
extensively marketed including paid and earned media, community flyers, targeted online
marketing and personal invitations. The focus groups will target hard-to-reach audiences who
generally do not attend public meetings. The planning consultants may also conduct key
stakeholder interviews with staff and important local leaders. Online and hard copy surveys will
be distributed throughout the community and via Evanston’s electronic marketing channels.
2.7 Explain how the plan will address the goals/themes of CMAP’ GO TO 2040 Plan with primary
focus on the principles of Livable Communities and Regional Mobility listed below.
According to CMAP’s GO TO 2040 Plan, a livable community is one that provides a healthy, safe
and walkable community with access to parks, healthy and even sustainable food as well as
134 of 357
2013 Bike Plan Update
schools, services, work, etc. The City of Evanston outlines goals to this effect in its Strategic Plan
goals.
One goal is to create and maintain functionally appropriate, sustainable, accessible high quality
infrastructure and facilities. Evanston recognizes that with all of its wonderful parks, lake front,
community garden, farmers markets, markets and the bustling downtown area, providing bike
racks, bike parking and bike corrals as well as bike lanes to get to these destinations, it will not
only encourage people to ride, but it will also reduce the number of cars on the roads. This will
reduce congestion, a main principal of regional mobility, and will also contribute to a reduction
in emissions catering to a healthier environment for Evanston’s residents and visitors.
Currently, the City is constructing a protected bike lane to ensure a safer riding experience for all
users. This bike lane, which contributes to achieving the goal of Evanston’s to coordinate and
influence transportation resources to provide an improved system that is safe, integrated,
responsive, understandable, efficient, and meets the needs of all people, is also providing the
City with motivation to continue to construct additional protected bike lanes. These bike lanes
will continue to be developed until they allow for all types of users in all parts of Evanston to be
able to have access to safe transportation to work, shopping, an enjoyable bike ride, fitness, etc.
Section 3. Project Details
3.1 Project Description
The City of Evanston will develop an update to its 2003 Bicycle System Improvement Plan with
an increased emphasis on the active transportation network. The plan will seek to increase
bicycling, walking and transit use, improve traffic safety, enhance local businesses and foster a
healthier, more environmentally friendly community. Increasing the use of the multi-modal
network will be accomplished by building infrastructure improvements, implementing a series of
recommended modifications to municipal code and procedures and by implementing a toolkit of
easily executed education, encouragement and enforcement strategies.
3.2 Project Study Area
The study area will be the City of Evanston and transportation connections to the contiguous
communities.
3.3 Scope of Services
The City of Evanston will contract a transportation planning firm to manage the project.
Task One: Opening Meeting
City staff and the consultant will meet to discuss the project scope, timing and steering
committee membership and structure.
Task Two: Goal setting and development of customized community engagement plan.
The steering committee with the City staff will establish the objectives for the plan and the
identification of the key audiences for engagement.
135 of 357
2013 Bike Plan Update
Task Three: Existing Transportation Network
The consultants will study the existing transportation network: the main roads, the
intersections, the local road, the trails and bike facilities, and local transit.
Task Four: Community Engagement
The consultants will implement the community engagement plan: reaching out to the identified
communities, assembling their vision, goals and objectives, compiling the survey results, analysis
of destinations, barriers, and local routes identified, prioritizing policies and programs that were
recommended in the community engagement activities.
Task Five: Synthesis
The consultants will work with the City staff and steering committee to analyze the community
engagement results and it use it to develop plan recommendations. The recommendations will
be presented to the City staff and steering committee for review and endorsement. These
recommendations will form the basis of the plan.
Task Six: Adoption
Once the steering committee approves the plan, the plan will be presented to city agencies and
the City Council for approval.
Task Seven: Implementation
The City staff and the steering committee will continue to work to monitor timely
implementation of the plan.
Section 4, Item C –
Project-Type Specific Questions
Integrated Transportation and Land Use Plans
4.1. Principles of Livable Communities
Supports infill and reinvestment. GO TO 2040 encourages reinvestment in vacant and
underutilized properties in existing communities and development that promotes opportunities
for more compact, walkable and mixed-use development supportive of transit.
Updating the Bike Plan will help identify areas in the City that have redevelopment potential and
determine how the existing bicycle infrastructure can be incorporated and/or improved within that
area. For example, in the West Evanston form-based code overlay, it regulates future infill and
redevelopment within a 30-acre TIF area. The code establishes street-type standards that promote
traffic calming, pedestrian walkability and bicycle infrastructure as well. The updated bike plan will
review these requirements to accommodate new and improved bicycle infrastructure and identify
connectivity issues and improvements.
Addresses density, mixed uses (vertical or horizontal), and walkability. GO TO 2040 encourages
new development and redevelopment in livable communities that are denser and designed for
mixed uses with access to jobs, services and basic needs.
Updating the Bike Plan will help the City identify improvements and policy changes needed in the
off-street zoning ordinance requiring bike parking facilities for new developments including transit-
oriented developments. Currently, the Site Plan and Appearance Review Committee requests
136 of 357
2013 Bike Plan Update
developers to accommodate bicycle parking and facilities; and the city also uses Planned
Development Design Guidelines to encourage projects to consider bicycle accommodations in their
site and circulation plans. However, there is no set policy. Updating the bike plan will provide
specific attention and requirements regarding bike parking and infrastructure improvements in
relation to designs of both the building and its surrounding realm to provide easy access to transit
and retail services.
Addresses housing affordability, particularly near transit. It is difficult to preserve housing
affordability or create new affordable options near transit because high demand to live near
transit increases the cost of housing. GO TO 2040 encourages transit-oriented development that
includes affordable housing provisions maintained in the long term.
This plan would seek to prioritize intra- and inter-neighborhood transportation. There would be a
focus on improving connections from housing to employment centers via the active transportation
network.
Involves inter-jurisdictional coordination. GO TO 2040 supports coordinated delivery of services
and programs through collaboration between various levels of governments at the local and
regional levels.
Updating the Bike Plan will allow the City to approach and coordinate improvements on routes that
are under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation. It will also allow the City to
look into connectivity issues with the adjacent communities (City of Chicago, Village of Skokie, and
Village of Wilmette) and plan for needed improvements. The City can also address the
improvements needed to accommodate the Evanston to Elgin Bikeway as included in the regional
bike plans prepared by the Northwest Municipal Conference.
Incorporates general consistency with “Livability Principles” of the federal Sustainable
Communities Initiative. The Sustainable Communities Partnership, which is a collaboration
between the departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the US Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA), and the Department of Transportation (DOT), identified 6 principles
of livability, listed below:
1. Providing more transportation choices;
2. expanding access to affordable housing, particularly housing located close to transit;
3. enhancing economic competitiveness-–giving people access to jobs, education and services
as well as giving businesses access to markets;
4. targeting federal funds toward existing communities to spur revitalization and protect rural
landscapes;
5. increasing collaboration among federal, state, and local governments to better target
investments and improve accountability;
6. valuing the unique qualities of all communities--whether urban, suburban, or rural.
The proposed Bike Plan is consistent with the overall goals of the Sustainable Communities
Initiative. By making improvements to the bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, the City will
increase transportation options. The plan will also improve access to affordable housing through
an improved transportation network. Evanston’s economic competitiveness will improve as
access to jobs and educational facilities increase with the implementation of the plan.
137 of 357
2013 Bike Plan Update
Evanston’s commitment to improving the quality of life of its residents, improving the business
climate and promoting environmental sustainability (principles of livability) will all be realized
with the implementation of this newly updated bike plan.
4.2. Principles of Regional Mobility
Supports the maintenance and modernization of the existing transportation system:
The City of Evanston has an extensive transportation network. Transportation choices are a crucial
issue facing all communities today. The cost of automobile travel is growing and more people
associate safer streets with a higher quality of life. Thus, there is a demand for safe and affordable
travel options such as walking, biking and transit. Complete Streets are designed to make it easier
for people to get around by all modes of transportation, providing more choices for people who
want them and better safety for those who do not have a choice. This plan will enable Evanston to
design a customized Complete Streets Policy.
Supports improvements in non-motorized transportation systems that complement the existing
transit systems and that have health, environmental and economic benefits:
Transportation plays a key role in the health of every community. When residents have safe active
transportation options, each trip becomes an opportunity to improve their health through physical
activity. With sedentary lifestyles and obesity on the rise, promoting physical activity, transportation
is more important than ever. A comprehensive network for active transportation will decrease
environmental pollution and increase overall city health. This plan will include extensive education
and encouragement strategies to foster increased use of active transportation.
Go to 2040 encourages increased connectivity between the various modes of transportation and
provision of safe and efficient facilities for all users:
Currently, it is not uncommon for people to use multiple modes of transportation in one day.
Cyclists and pedestrians must have good access and connections to transit, so that they leave their
cars at home. Evanston has both the Metra line and the CTA line positioned in the center of its
downtown area. Safe sidewalks and bike parking all encourage the use of multi-modal
transportation. This plan will incorporate the most recent best practices to improve the safety of all
users of the various modes of transportation. The bicycle network in Evanston is part of a larger,
regional network with connections to on-street facilities in neighboring communities and to off-
street trails in the region. Thus connections within Evanston and with regionally-significant corridors
will all be part of the planning process.

Ordinance 9-O-13: Lease of 623-627½ Howard Street to Peckish One LLC
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Community & Economic Development Director
Johanna Nyden, Economic Development Coordinator
Subject: Lease of Commercial Space at 623-627½ Howard Street to Peckish One,
LLC
Date: February 20, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 9-O-13, “Authorizing the City Manager to
Negotiate and Execute a Commercial Lease with an Option to Purchase for City-Owned
Real Property Located at 623-627 ½ Howard Street”. The lease-to-own agreement is
proposed to be entered into with Peckish One, LLC, for the operation of a restaurant
with a brewery.
Funding Source:
Not Applicable
Background:
The City purchased the property located at 623-627 ½ Howard Street in October 2011
for $475,000 using Economic Development Funds. The Economic Development Fund
is repaid annually by the Howard/Ridge Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district in the
amount of $47,500 for 10 years.
The property has been vacant (with the exception of one tenant), while the City has
worked to identify a suitable single user for the property. The sole tenant has a month-
to-month lease with the City. This tenant has been notified that the City has found a
party to lease the entire property and was aware that continued tenure at the space was
temporary. Staff is working with this tenant to relocate to a similar space in south
Evanston.
Summary:
The owners of Peckish One, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, Debbie and Jamie
Evans, seek to create an “American-style bar/restaurant that will include a small
Memorandum
146 of 357
brewery for beer consumption. The restaurant is proposed to be called Peckish. This is
a British adjective used to describe being “somewhat hungry”. Mr. and Mrs. Evans seek
to enter into a lease-to-own agreement with the City with the ability to purchase the
property after a lease period of four years of a five-year lease. The proposed rent
structure is as follows:
Month
1-18
Month
19-30
Month
31-42
Month
43-54
Month
55-60
Monthly
Income $0 $5,500 $6,500 $7,500 $8,500
Total Income
for Period $0 $66,000 $78,000 $90,000 $51,000
The lease-to-own agreement contemplates that all rent paid during the term of the lease
will be deducted from the ultimate purchase price. The owners have the ability to
purchase the property after completion of Month 48. At which point the City would have
collected $189,000. In the event the owners do not purchase the building until the end
of Month 60, the City is expected to receive $285,000 in rent payments through the
entire term of the five-year lease.
Similar to the project at Ward Eight immediately west of the subject property, it is
requested that the City make basic improvements to the property to facilitate
rehabilitation for a restaurant user. The improvements contemplated include necessary
upgrades to the heating and cooling systems in the building, new windows and doors,
as well as demolition and structural work to consolidate the five individual storefronts to
a single space at the property. In anticipation that this work would need to be
completed, Resolution 79-R-11 was approved at the December 12, 2011 City Council
meeting which authorized the reimbursement of project expenditures up to $13,828,00 0
in General Obligation Bonds. Of the total amount, $900,000 was included to address
proposed development costs in the Howard-Ridge TIF district. Of the funds in the
Howard-Ridge TIF District, approximately $200,000 was reserved for rehabilitation of
this property.
A request for a grant of $200,000 will be made on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at the
Economic Development Committee. Peckish has provided a preliminary estimate of the
“vanilla box” build-out. While the City is being asked to assist in some of the build-out,
Peckish One LLC will be responsible for all remaining improvements, including
installation of a kitchen, installation of décor appropriate for a restaurant/brewery, and
other associated improvements for a restaurant.
If approved, the lease-to-own agreement would require funds granted for improvements
to the property to be repaid at time of purchase of the building. The lease-to-own
agreement lists the purchase for this property as the City’s original 2011 purchase price
($475,000) plus the cost of any funds expended to improve the property (up to $200,000
pending consideration by the Economic Development Committee and City Council), for
a total price of $675,000. In the event that Peckish is able to meet all deadlines for
project completion (December 1, 2013) and pays rent in full and on time, the final
purchase price would be reduced by $50,000.
147 of 357
The agreement stipulates that if at the time of purchase appraisals are obtained that
estimate the property for less than this proposed price ($675,000), Peckish One, LLC
has the ability to negotiate a lower purchase price from the City. This provision was
included in order to ensure Peckish One would have the ability to ultimately obtain
financing to purchase the property. In the event this option is exercised, the reduction
of the purchase price by $50,000 would not be applied.
Upon all parties signing the lease, the first month of free rent will commence. The
owners anticipate a late fall/early winter 2013 opening. The abated commercial rental
payments for the first 18 months were contemplated in order to offset initial costs
associated with major construction work to convert the storefront and property into a
restaurant as well as the costs associated with opening a new business. The rent in
subsequent years is estimated to be market rental rates for ground floor commercial
space in the south Evanston/north Rogers Park area.
Key additional points of the lease-to-own agreement:
If the owners do not decide to purchase the property at the end of the agreement,
the City can freely market and sell the property to a party of their choosing;
Peckish One, LLC will pay all property taxes and utilities (gas, water, heat,
electricity, power, or other similar costs) associated with the property;
Peckish One, LLC will be responsible for any and all maintenance and repairs to
keep the property in good repair; and
The agreement is not assignable to other parties not associated with the LLC nor
can Peckish One, LLC sublet the property.
In order to provide additional information about their restaurant, the owners have
provided a copy of their business plan, resumes, and preliminary floor plan of the
proposed restaurant. Mr. and Mrs. Evans anticipate that they would employ
approximately 30 full-time staff. They have indicated a desire to make most of those
hires from Evanston and work with the City and our workforce development partners to
accomplish this goal.

Period”) . If Tenant elects NOT to exercise the Option by the end of the Option Period, the
following are applicable: (1) the Landlord is freely able to market, enter into a contract, and sell
the Property to another purchaser; (2) Tenant shall remain a Tenant of the Property for the
remainder of the term of the Agreement; and (3) Tenant shall not have the option to purchase
the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may elect to exercise this Option at any
time prior to the expiration of the Option Period.
B. Purchase Price. The purchase price of this Property will be $675,000.00 (the
“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is based on the City’s original purchase price of the
Property of Four Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($475,000.00) and the TIF Grant
funds used to improve the Property Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).
(1) Appraisals: If the Tenant elects to exercise the Option, Tenant and Landlord
shall be entitled to obtain independent appraisals of the Property. If the Tenant
and the Landlord cannot agree on which appraisal to use to establish the
Purchase Price, the average of the two (2) appraisals shall be used as the
Purchase Price. However, if the Purchase Price as determined through the
appraisal process is less than Six Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars
($675,000), the Tenant may purchase the Property for that lesser price. If the
Purchase Price as determined through the appraisal process is greater than Six
Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($675,000), the Tenant shall still pay
Six Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($675,000) to purchase the
property and not more.

(2) Performance Incentive: Landlord shall provide Tenant with an incentive to
finish the construction of the improvements, issue timely payments for rent, real
estate taxes and City of Evanston water bills. Landlord shall agree to reduce the
Purchase Price by Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), only if the Tenant
accomplishes the following on the date of exercising the Option:
a. Finishes construction of the Improvements by December 1, 2013 and a
Final Certificate of Occupancy is issued;
b. Tenant issues Rent payments to Landlord on time for every month for
the Term.
c. Tenant has paid real estate tax invoices prior to the due date for every
installment, as indicated in Section 13.
d. Tenant is current on its water bill to the City of Evanston each and

(3) Performance Incentive and Appraisal Figure:
a. After the Appraisal process outlined in Section 5(B)(1) above, if the
Purchase Price is less than $625,000 (Six Hundred Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars), Tenant cannot receive an additional discount based
on the Performance Incentive described.
b. However, if the appraisal figure arrived at between the Parties is
between $625,000 and $675,000 AND Tenant qualifies for the
Performance Incentive, the Purchase Price can be additionally reduced to
$625,000, but this is the floor for the Performance Incentive. For
example, if the appraisal process yields a purchase price of $640,000
and the Tenant has met the measures outlined to qualify for the
Performance Incentive, the Purchase Price may be reduced an additional
Fifteen Thousand ($15,000).
C. Authority to Purchase: The Tenant may notify Landlord that it has the resources to
purchase the Property and that the Tenant is exercising the Option prior to the expiration of the
Option Period. A closing (the “Closing”) or transfer of ownership will occur upon the Parties
executing a purchase and sale contract (“Property Purchase Agreement”) and the
subsequent payment of the Purchase Price at a Closing.
D. Rental Credit Application. Landlord will give credit towards the Purchase Price for
all rental payments made under this Agreement during the lease of the Property subject to this
Agreement (the “Rental Credit”). The Tenant may notify Landlord that it will be exercising the

supplement those credits to purchase the Property. At Closing, Landlord shall transfer title
upon receipt by the Landlord of the Tenant paying the difference between the Rental Credit and
the Purchase Price.
E. Delinquencies. Should the Tenant have incurred delinquencies in paying rent with
Landlord, the Tenant shall payoff those delinquencies upon any offer to exercise its Option.
F. Tenant Breach. Should the Tenant materially breach this Agreement for any
reason other than nonpayment, at the discretion of Landlord, the Tenant's Option may be
denied. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold it agreement to the exercise of the Option.
G. No Obligation to Purchase. Tenant is under no obligation to purchase the
Property and has the right to continue under the terms of this Agreement as Tenant/renter for
the balance of the Term. However, if the Tenant fails to exercise the option at the conclusion of
the Option Period, the Option to Purchase shall expire.
H. Sale to Third Parties. If Landlord sells the Property to a third party which has no
legal affiliation to the Tenant, as a condition of sale, the new Purchaser agrees to be bound by

4
the terms of this Agreement and shall have no right to evict Tenant, to vary the terms of this
Agreement or to terminate this Lease under any terms other than those contained herein.
I. Tenant Declines to Purchase. If at the end of the five (5) year term of this Lease,

B. Occurrence of an Event: Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which

following remedies subject to the laws of the State of Illinois and the Tenants right to
cure detailed above:
(1) Landlord may terminate this Lease in which event Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Property to Landlord, but if Tenant fails to do so,
Tenant hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to enter into and upon the
Property or any part thereof, to take possession to the extent permitted by law,
and to expel and to remove Tenant or any other person who may be occupying
the Property or any part thereof. Landlord may use such reasonable force in and
about expelling and removing Tenant and other persons as may reasonably be
necessary after requesting them to vacate the Property, and Landlord may re-
possess itself of the Property as of its former estate, but such entry on the
Property shall not constitute a trespass or forcible entry or detainer, nor shall it
cause a forfeiture of rents due by virtue thereof, nor a waiver of any covenant,
agreement or promise in this Agreement contained to be performed by Tenant.
(2) Landlord may recover from Tenant upon written demand all of Landlord's
costs, charges and expenses, including the fees and costs of counsel, agents
and others retained by Landlord which have been incurred by Landlord in
enforcing Tenant's obligations hereunder, subject to Landlord prevailing on its
claims.
(3) Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any
other remedy herein provided or available to Landlord at law or in equity, or
constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due hereunder or of any damages
suffered by Landlord. If in Landlord's judgment any default by Tenant will
jeopardize the Property or the rights of Landlord, Landlord may, with notice, elect
to cure Tenant's default and Tenant will reimburse Landlord, with interest, on 10-
days' notice by Landlord to Tenant.
C. Repossession or Re-letting: No repossession, operation or re-letting of the
Property or of fixtures and equipment will be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate
this Agreement unless a written notice is given by the Landlord to the Tenant. The Landlord
may terminate this Agreement in writing if the Tenant remains in default. The acceptance of
rent, whether in a single instance or repeatedly, after it falls due, or after knowledge of any
breach hereof by Tenant, or the giving or making of any notice or demand, whether according
to any statutory provision or not, or any act or series of acts except written waiver, shall not be

re-letting the Property under the provisions of this section are insufficient to pay all expenses
and amounts due, Tenant will pay any deficiencies to the Landlord on demand and be declared

Tenant, Landlord will be entitled to recover from Tenant, at termination, the excess, if any, of
the rent reserved in this Agreement for the balance of the term over the reasonable rental value

Landlord can obtain as rent for the balance of the term.

institution of any action of forcible detainer or ejectment or any judgment for possession that
may be rendered in such action, or any other act or acts resulting in the termination of Tenant’s

Tenant and payment or receipt thereof shall not waive or affect any such notice, demand, suit
or judgment, or in any manner whatsoever waive, affect, change, modify or alter any rights or
remedies which Landlord may have by virtue hereof.
SECTION 22: EXPENSES OF ENFORCEMENT
Tenant, if Landlord is the prevailing party, shall pay upon demand all Landlord’s costs,
charges and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, agents fees and fees of others
retained by Landlord, incurred in enforcing any of the obligations of Tenant under this

1.0 Executive Summary
The purpose of this business plan lay out the development of a new restaurant and
brewery, referred to for the time being as Peckish One LLC. Peckish One LLC (“the
Company”) is an Evanston based corporation that will develop a restaurant and
microbrewery that will feature craft beers, cocktails and fresh, organic, farm to table
food. The Company was founded by Deborah & Jamie Evans in 2013.
1.1 The Restaurant & Brewery
Peckish One LLC intends to open an owner-operated restaurant and brewery at the
location of 623 Howard St. that will serve a variety of clientele from both Evanston and
Rogers Park. We intend to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that will appeal to a
wide demographic and will establish ourselves as a neighborhood hangout as well as a
destination location.
We are very excited to be apart of this project that can bring a buzz to this underserved
area, bringing great, affordable food and drink and creating a new meeting place. Having
lived in Evanston and worked in local restaurants since 1997, we are confident that we
can bring exactly what is needed to this demographic, and that the timing and location for
this project are perfect. In addition to our experience in Evanston, we are partners at a
Wine Shop and European Import Grocer just over the border in Rogers Park, so we feel
we are well attuned to the needs and desires of the people living in the surrounding area
as well. On top of providing quality food, house brewed beers, as well as other local and
organic products, we hope to feature unique and diverse music acts as well as other
special events to draw people into the up and coming Howard Street District.
We plan to be open for dinner through the weekdays, as well as brunch/lunch/dinner on
the weekends. We also hope to eventually if demand allows be open for lunch during the
weekdays. In addition we will have a private dining room that can be adjoined to our
dining room or separated for special events, or live music.
We plan to serve a variety of fresh and smoked meat, chicken, and fish dishes along with
a selection of homemade salads, sandwiches, and other entrees. We will also tap into
local, organic, and seasonal products, when available, to create dishes that pair perfectly
with craft beers including our own brew, and domestic and international wines. In
addition to serving delicious and unique food offerings paired with on site beverages we
also intend to sell our craft beers for off site consumption through distribution as well as
on site through the brewery.

3.2 Internationally Focused Wine, Beer, and Cocktail List.
We plan to offer our patrons an expansive line of beverages both non-alcoholic and
alcoholic in nature, including a varied domestic and international beer and wine list that
will appeal across the diverse nature of both Evanston and Chicago residents and visitors.
Utilizing our extensive connections in the wine, beer and spirits industry we aim to pull
together an exceptional beverage program that still maintains affordability and quality
standards.
According to a study done by the Craft Brewers Association, while the overall sales of
beer have seen a decreased over the last three years, “Craft brewers saw a 15 percent
increase in retail sales and a volume increase of 13 percent in 2011, for a total barrel
increase of 1.3 million. The Brewers Association estimates the actual dollar sales figure
from craft brewers in 2011 was $8.7 billion, up from $7.6 billion in 2010.”
With the craft beer industry still booming, we hope to capture some of that interest by
featuring our house brewed selections of beers as well as intend to feature crowd-pleasing
local and other interesting craft domestic beers well as a selection of lesser-known
international beers.

4.0 Strategic and Market Analysis
4.1 Customer Profile
Evanston is a diverse city with a population of 74,846 (2010) made up of families,
students, and working professionals. Peckish One LLC would first and foremost cater to
working professionals and families both on the Evanston side of Howard, as well as the
Rogers Park/Chicago side, while also aiming to pull in destination customers from all
over the Chicagoland with our concept and quality food and drinks.
The restaurant’s average customer will be middle class man or woman living in our
targeted market of south and central Evanston, as well as Roger’s park. Common traits
among clients will include:
Median Age: 33
Median Income of $55,000
Lives or works within 10 miles from the location.
Will spend $15 to $35 per visit to the our location
4.2 Competition
The area, on both sides of Howard street, is presently underserved in respect of
independent restaurants with freshly prepared, healthy food, and Peckish One LLC will
address that need. Along Howard there is a plethora of fast food like options such as
Popeye’s, Buffalo Joe’s, and Mcdonald’s. As far as the general direct surrounding
neighborhood restaurants and bars that would be closest “competition” without being in
direct competition, the options are limited to Ward Eight, Tally Ho Pub, and Hop Haus.
-Tally Ho Pub is directly across the street from our location however does not overlap
with our business as they do not serve food, and the primary use of our space is restaurant
space.
-Hop Haus on Clark and Howard does have an extensive beer list, and does serve food
but does not brew their own beer, and with the influx of televisions serves more as a
sports bar.
-Ward Eight is directly next door to our location, and while there may be some overlap in
the ideal of bringing quality food and drink options to Howard Street we feel as though
their business model will actually support our plan and vice versa. We expect that
customers will enjoy the superb cocktails served at Ward Eight, and come to Peckish One
LLC for local beers and an excellent dinner or a snack.

For City Council Meeting of February 25, 2013 Item A8
Ordinance 23-O-13: Relating to Parking on Harrison Street
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Members of the Administration & Public Works Committee
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/CFO
Rickey A. Voss, Parking/Revenue Manager
Subject: Ordinance 23-O-13 amending Title 10, Motor Vehicles and Traffic,
Chapter 11, Traffic Schedules, Section 10: Schedule X (L); Limited
Parking, of the Evanston City Code.
Date: February 4, 2013
Recommended Action:
The Transportation/Parking Committee and staff recommend that the City Council adopt
Ordinance 23-O-13 amending Title 10, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 10, Traffic
Schedules, Section 10 by adding Schedule X (L): No person shall park a motor vehicle
for a period of time longer than thirty (30) minutes between the hours of seven o'clock
(7:00) A.M. and six o'clock (6:00) P.M. on any day except Sunday and national holidays
upon any of the following streets or portions thereof: the south side of Harrison from
Green Bay Road west to first north-south alley.
Funding Source:
N/A
Summary:
In October of 2012, Alderman Grover asked that the Transportation/Parking Committee
consider creating a thirty (30) minute limited parking area on Harrison Street between
Green Bay Road and the west alley. Alderman Grover was asking on the request of the
J.C Lichts, 2538 Green Bay Road. The store’s main contractor entrance is located on
the south side of Harrison Street at Green Bay Road. In an effort to assist their
contractor customer base in the securing and loading of a large volume of supplies
during the early morning hours, J.C. Lichts has asked that the current thirty (30) minute
parking restriction from nine o’clock (9:00) A.M. to six o’clock (6:00) P.M. be changed to
seven o’clock (7:00) A.M. to six o’clock (6:00) P.M. The request would free up parking in
the morning and allow the parking of contractor vehicle access to the entrance for early
morning deliveries.
The Transportation/Parking Committee recommended approval at the January 23, 2013
meeting. Alderman Grover supports the recommendation.

For City Council Meeting of February 25, 2013 Item A9
Ordinance 24-O-13: Relating to Parking on Harrison St, Eastwood Ave, & Davis St
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Members of the Administration & Public Works Committee
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/CFO
Rickey A. Voss, Parking/Revenue Manager
Subject: Ordinance 24-O-13 amending Title 10, Motor Vehicles and Traffic,
Chapter 11, Traffic Schedules, Section 18: Schedule XVIII (E) and (F);
Residents Parking Only Districts, of the Evanston City Code, adding the
south side of the 1700 block of Harrison Street from Eastwood Avenue to
Poplar Avenue and on the west side of Eastwood Avenue from Lincoln
Street to Central Street to 24 hour, Monday – Sunday.
Date: February 4, 2013
Recommended Action:
The Transportation/Parking Committee and staff recommend that the City Council adopt
Ordinance 24-O-13 amending Title 10, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 11, Traffic
Schedules, Section 18: Schedule XVIII (E) and (F); Residents Parking Only Districts, of
the Evanston City Code adding the south side of the 1700 blocks Harrison Street from
Eastwood Avenue to Poplar Avenue and on the west side of Eastwood Avenue from
Lincoln Street to Central Street to 24 hours, Monday – Sunday.
This ordinance also removes Resident Only Parking District 5 on Davis Street, which is
no longer required due to the completion of the Mather buildings.
Summary:
In September of 2012, residents of the 1700 block of Harrison Street brought a series of
concerns to Alderman Grover about parking of employees of businesses from the
Central Street Business District, commuters, and construction workers involved in the
1700 Central Street apartment project. The residents stated that due to the increased
activity, parking in the 1700 block of Harrison had become nearly impossible for the
residents and the 7am – 9am, Monday – Friday Residential Parking Permit District 6 no
longer deterred said parking. Parking staff was asked to conduct a parking survey to
determine if the 1700 block of Harrison Street Residential Parking Permit District 6
would need to be modified from the current prohibition of 7am-9am Monday – Friday to
a 24 hour, Monday – Sunday area.
A parking occupancy survey was conducted from September 24 through September 28,
2012 indicating that the affected area is substantially impacted. There was an average
of 78% of available parking affected during the survey with two consecutive two hour (2)
time periods with a 100% occupancy rate. Out of the 40 different license plates
Memorandum

recorded during the survey, 35% did not register to Evanston, 40% to the immediate
area (Eastwood, Harrison, and Poplar), 12.5% other Evanston areas and 12.5% could
not be verified as to residency.
The recommendation to include Eastwood Avenue from Lincoln Street to Central Street
in the new prohibition takes into consideration the current district permit holders who
reside on Eastwood Avenue but need to at times park on Harrison.
The Transportation/Parking Committee recommended approval at the January 23, 2013
meeting. Alderman Grover supports the recommendation.

Funding Source:
n/a
Summary:
The City of Evanston’s Class Y liquor license permits retail sale of wine and
unrefrigerated beer for off premises consumption. Current licensees are wine shops. If
adopted, Ordinance 25-O-13 will amend Class Y to permit sale of alcoholic liquor, i.e.,
spirits, wine, and unrefrigerated beer. Under 25-O-13, licensees may designate no
more than 2% of the total square foot area of the licensed premises to spirit sales.
Additionally, the ordinance requires 10-20% of the total square foot area of the licensed
premises be dedicated to food sales.
Legislative History:
Sandeep Ghaey of Vinic Wine, a Class Y establishment, appeared before the Local
Liquor Control Board on January 31, 2013, to seek an amendment to the Class Y liquor
license to permit spirit sales and to reduce the square footage requirement for food
sales. The Local Liquor Control Board recommended an amendment to the
classification to permit spirit sales and to address sales floor space requirements.

MEETING MINUTES
Liquor Control Board
Thursday, January 31, 2013
11:00 a.m.

Members Present: Elizabeth Tisdahl, Marion Macbeth, Dave Skrodzki
Byron Wilson
Members Absent: Richard Peach
Staff Present: W. Grant Farrar, Theresa Whittington
Others Present: Bridget McDonough (Light Opera Works), Tony Lawry (Piccolo
Theatre), Jon Arndt (Next Theatre), Leslie Brown (Piven Theatre),
Sandeep Ghaey (Vinic Wine), Diana Hamman (The Wine Goddess)
Presiding Member: Local Liquor Control Commissioner Elizabeth Tisdahl/Mayor
Call to Order
The Local Liquor Control Commissioner Elizabeth Tisdahl called the meeting to order at
11:05 a.m. All attendees introduced themselves and specified his/her role related to the
meeting.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Light opera Works: The Mayor stated that she interprets Light Opera Works request
not so much as a reduced rate to current one-day licenses but rather, a new class of
license that encompasses intermissions only. Bridget McDonough of Light opera Works
reiterated her desire for a special one-day liquor class fee specific to nonprofit theater
groups or perhaps a license fee that will cover a certain number of performances.
Marion Macbeth commented that a one day license with fees tiered based on number of
performances is too convoluted and not practical. Jon Arndt of Next Theatre expressed
concern that an intermission only license would create prohibitive restrictions on hours
of service. Bridget McDonough stated she is not in favor of a one day license but
instead favors a theatrical lobby license type. Dave Skrodzki brought up the idea of an
annual liquor license class that would accommodate live performance theatres. Theresa
Whittington responded that such a class is already approved and in the City Code as
liquor Class L. Liquor Class L is an annual license that allows for the service of alcohol
before and during intermissions of live stage performances. Considering the fact that
no establishment is currently taking advantage of this license class, the Mayor
suggested reducing the fee to make it less prohibitive to the local theater groups. Leslie
Brown of Piven Theatre pointed out that in addition to the annual license fee, one would
have to pay for liquor liability insurance. Marion Macbeth expressed her concern that
there is proper BASSET training for the staff that is in charge of serving alcohol. She
expressed her support in favor of an annual license over a one day license for service of
alcohol at live theatrical performances. Bridget McDonough suggested the Liquor
Commission devise a one day license for theater companies that only have a handful of
209 of 357
FINAL
Page 2 of 3
performances with a higher fee for a theater with more performances per year. The
Mayor stated her desire to make the process simpler and that the City breaks even on
its time and effort. Grant Farrar seconded the Mayor’s concern over creating additional
liquor licensee classes. He stated that the Class L annual license class has been on the
books since 1999 and reducing the fee is the best starting point to accommodate
alcohol service for live performance groups. It is not practical to create license classes
to fit all the special needs of various groups. The issue of a lower class L fee was raised
by the Mayor. Marion Macbeth agreed that the current rate of $1300 seems high but
suggested a tiered fee structure based on number of performances per year. Tony
Lawry suggested a provision in the license fee based on seating capacity. Marion
Macbeth asked about the seating capacity at various theaters. Jon Arndt suggested a
tiered rate based on organizational budget. The Mayor asked Grant Farrar and Theresa
Whittington to come up with a proposal and present the new Class L language at a
future LCRB meeting. Byron Wilson asked if alcohol is allowed within the theater during
performances. Bridget McDonough responded that it depends on the theater. Bridget
McDonough asked if the board could address the $3 million dram shop insurance
requirement. Grant Farrar explained that the dram shop insurance rate is designed to
protect the City from risk. Theresa Whittington clarified that the $3 million dram shop
limit only applies to class X and X1 one day licenses that are held on city-owned
property. All other liquor classes require $1 million in dram shop coverage. A Class L
license requires $1 million in dram shop limits. Leslie Brown explained that her
insurance provider had a difficult time finding an underwriter for $3 million in dram shop
coverage for a Class X license. She went on to state that her theater group applies
often for class X licenses and that the $3 million limit is impossible to obtain. Mayor
Tisdahl suggested that Leslie Brown present to the city proof that $3 million in coverage
cannot be obtained and the matter will be taken to City Council. Bridget McDonough
asked if the insurance limits on a Class L would increase if a theater group is located on
city-owned property. Grant Farrar asked the theater companies to provide a list of
performances that are held on city-owned property.
No further questions or concerns were voiced. The various theatre groups will provide
Grant Farrar with information regarding how many performances per year they host on
city-owned property. The Mayor directed Grant Farrar and Theresa Whittington to work
on revising the City Code to reflect a reduced fee for Class L licenses. This matter will
be continued to a future LCRB meeting.
NEW BUSINESS
Bat 17: Bill Pomerantz of Bat 17 was not present at the meeting. The board moved onto
the next agenda item.
Vinic Wine Co: Sandeep Ghaey of Vinic Wine suggests that sprits get added to the
Class Y license. Currently, wine shops (Class Y) can sell wine and beer but the lack of
spirit sales hurts his business. He has to turn down wedding contracts because he is not
able to offer complete wine and spirits options. Clients go outside Evanston to purchase
wine and spirits from establishments that can sell both types of alcohol. He proposes
that up to 2% of the alcohol floor space be dedicate to spirits. He also has further
suggestions that would help maintain the integrity of the wine shop liquor license. He
210 of 357
FINAL
Page 3 of 3
suggests that 1) 80% floor space dedicated to alcohol be dedicated exclusively to wine
and 2) that no more than 20% of the floor space is dedicated to food. These items
would prevent someone from coming in and abusing the liquor class and potentially
opening up a glorified version of a convenience store. He also feels the Class Y annual
fee is too costly, especially when compared to a grocery store annual fee (Class N).
Vinic Wine struggles to keep 20% of its floor space dedicated to food and pointed out
that the other two wine stores in town do not have any food on their floors. Diana
Haman expressed concern about the 20% food requirement on the Class Y license.
Sandeep reiterated his suggestion of updating the food floor space requirements to
between 10-20%.
The Mayor thanked Sandeep Ghaey for his recommendations and expressed strong
support for changing the language of the liquor class to support spirit sales and to fortify
the integrity of the license class in general. The Mayor directed Grant Farrar to draft
new language allowing for the sale of spirits and redefining floor space requirements for
alcohol and food.
Diana Hamman expressed a desire to sell refrigerated beer and single bottles of beer. It
was clarified that Class Y does not restrict the size of beer package sales but it doe s
restrict the sale of cold beer. Grant Farrar said it is up to the Liquor Board and City
Council to approve the sale of cold beer. Dianna Hamman questioned why larger stores
are allowed to sell cold beer while smaller stores are restricted from doing so. The
Mayor suggested that the City should research the ordinance history as it relates to cold
beer sales and place this matter on the agenda of a future LCRB meeting.
The Mayor asked if there were any further questions or concerns. None were
expressed. Grant Farrar asked Sandeep Ghaey to share some of his suggestions in
writing. The matter of revising Class Y will be put before City Council sometime in
February.
Union/Space: Theresa Whittington brought to the Boards attention an issue with Union
Pizzeria’s liquor license class. Theresa explained to the Board that she had a
conversation with the owner of Union Pizzeria (Craig Golden) who confirmed that he
owns SPACE, the entertainment venue attached to Union. This relationship
necessitates a different license class than Union presently holds. A Class W is the most
likely fit, but the location presently prevents Union/SAPCE from qualifying for this liquor
license class. Board members may need to consider revising the core area in order to
better accommodate this business, as well as others. Grant Farrar suggested placing
this matter on the agenda of the next LCRB meeting and considering expanding the
core area. Marion Macbeth concurred that the core area needs to be updated. She also
expressed her preference that all servers at such establishments be BASSET certified.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned by the Local Liquor Control Commissioner Elizabeth
Tisdahl/Mayor at 12:06 p.m., January 31, 2013.

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
restroom in the common area of the Claridge Apartment building (319 Dempster) for

accounting of the Affordable Housing Fund including the amount of the fund, its
intended purpose, how much money has been used and its purpose; in short,
everything there is to know about the fund.
Chair Fiske clarified that the request is not in relation to HODC’s request for the loan.
Chair Fiske said she and Ald. Wynne met with the residents of 319 Dempster and
said the restroom in the common area is necessary.
Ald. Wynne agreed and said since the new management has taken over calls about
the building have dropped significantly. It will be an improvement to a problematic
building.

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.
For Action
Ald. Wynne moved approval, seconded by Ald. Rainey.
Ald. Rainey asked what the NSP2 rules are regarding acquiring vacant lots, to which
Jolene Saul, NSP2 Specialist for the City of Evanston, replied that the City must
acquire 100 foreclosed or abandoned buildings and vacant lots are allowable but
cannot count towards the goal. Ms. Saul said she would inquire about Ald. Rainey’s
inquiry as to whether a vacant lot could be redeveloped into a pocket park.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to approve the amendment to the NSP2
project.
(P3) Ordinance 11-O-13 Granting a Special Use for a Type 2 Restaurant at 1734

Page 3 of 3
Doug Gaynor, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services said he
provided a report of the condition and deterioration of the fountain and added that it
will need significant repairs within the next 2-3 years aside from the day to day
maintenance. $350,000 had been used in 2006 for minor repairs. Chair Fiske said
she and the mayor met with veterans’ groups to discuss whether they want to
relocate their memorial and they have decided they want to keep it where it is at
Fountain Square, which, she said, is good. She said they were delighted to have
been asked. She suggested a privately funded effort, perhaps combined with the
funds from the Washington National TIF to seek a competitive design event to re-
design the fountain. Ald. Rainey asked whether it is too costly to maintain the
current fountain.
Wally Bobkiewicz, City Manager, said the broader question at hand is whether this is
the appropriate time to rethink the fountain and asked whether the City should look
for a new fountain. Ald. Rainey said the ordinance regarding the fountain should be
reviewed because she believes that whoever donates one must maintain it. Mr.
Bobkiewicz said that once a fountain design is selected, the City could possible get
several sources plus the TIF to fund it. Chair Fiske suggested up to $1 million would
be necessary, depending on the design.
Mr. Bobkiewicz said if the Committee wishes to pursue the project, staff will research
fountains. Ald. Wynne said she thinks it is a terrific idea and the current Fountain
Square fountain design is outdated and that there are many gorgeous modern
fountain designs. She is in support of staff doing research and a community–wide
funding effort. Chair Fiske said she would like to get creative ideas from artist
throughout the U.S. Ald. Holmes said if we expand outside the box we can use the
Square in a more creative way than it has been.
Ald. Rainey moved that staff take the next step and research artists’ fountain
designs, seconded by Ald. Wynne.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to direct staff to research artists’
fountain designs.

HOME Application
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: Community Partners for Affordable Housing HOME application
Date: February 6, 2013
Recommendation
The Housing and Homelessness Commission and staff recommend the approval of a
$277,685 forgivable HOME loan for the acquisition and rehabilitation of a foreclosed 2-
unit building for affordable rental housing to Community Partners for Affordable Housing
(CPAH).
Funding
Funding is provided by the HOME fund. Currently, the City has a balance of
approximately $1.1 million in its HOME line of credit comprising entitlement grants and
program income from FY2012 and prior years that must be committed to projects by
August 31, 2013. Funding this project would help meet the commitment deadline in a
timely manner.
Discussion
CPAH is requesting $277,685 forgivable HOME loan from the City of Evanston to
acquire and rehabilitate a two-flat with 3-bedroom units for rental. This addresses two
City goals for larger family sized units as well as addressing the need for more
affordable rental units. This project will help to preserve the existing housing stock and
continue building an inventory of permanently affordable, environmentally sustainable
housing in Evanston. CPAH was certified as a Community Housing Development
Organization (CHDO) in 2013. Funding for this project would count towards our CHDO
set aside obligation for HOME funds as required by HUD regulations.
An efficient way to acquire inexpensive properties is through the foreclosure or short
sale process. CPAH is proposing using the same acquisition strategy that has been
used for NSP2 scattered site properties. Five properties were identified as potential
Memorandum
237 of 357
Page 2
candidates in preparation for this HOME application. On average, each building had a
combined acquisition/rehab cost of $275,000 and all were in the 2nd ward. CPAH would
be required to develop a building that is not in a NSP2 census tract to achieve the goal
of distributing affordable housing throughout the City. If a three unit building is identified
as feasibly within the proposed costs constraints, staff would consider the larger
building. Once a location has been identified, staff will conduct a final review and
approval of the proposed project budget and documentation to confirm project feasibilit y
and viability. CPAH would be required to cover all, if any, cost overruns to ensure
project completion.
CPAH will then conduct an environmentally sustainable rehabilitation to ensure the
housing remains affordable for households under 60% Area Median Income (AMI). The
rental property will be part of the Land Trust’s portfolio; therefore, it will remain
affordable well past the 15 years required by HOME. CPAH has proven capacity and
experience developing and managing scattered site rental units. The Executive Director
of CPAH, Rob Anthony, is an Evanston resident and will be the primary contact for
property management issues.
CPAH provided 3 letters of recommendation from the Mayor of Highland Park, the
Mayor of Lake Forest and the Community Development Administrator of Lake County
(see attached). All letters spoke to CPAH’s ability to complete projects on time and on
budget. The three letters spoke to the importance of CPAH’s acquisition strategy to offer
competitive bids for properties in an efficient and prompt manner.
The City’s NSP2 scattered site program, in partnership with Brinshore Development,
has been doing this type of acquisition/rehab work for the past three years. Brinshore’s
CEO, David Brint, has been on CPAH's advisory board since its inception and is a long-
time supporter. CPAH may consult with Brinshore to gain further insight on the vacant
and foreclosed rental stock in Evanston and potential challenges that CPAH may
encounter.

Describe staff/mgt company's experience managing HUD income-restricted rental units.
CPAH has had success in the past in managing HUD income-restricted rental units. This non-profit CHDO has
developed, acquired, and rehabilitated 42 units of permanently affordable housing in Highland Park and Lake Forest
using the Community Land Trust (CLT) model. CPAH was the first CLT in Illinois and it is the first affordable housing
provider in Illinois to receive LEED-Gold Certification for Hyacinth Place, its award-winning 14-unit townhouse
development.
The need/market demand for the proposed project was directly determined from three sources; the Evanston 2010-2014
Consolidated Plan, the National Low Income Housing Coalition's 2012 "Out of Reach" Report, and finally information
reported by the Housing Authority of Cook County regarding public housing and Housing Choice Vouchers. There is a
great need for larger (3 bed) units.

and absorbing their one Evanston property. CPAH has an active Evanston advisory board.
4. CPAH provided 3 letters of recommendation from: The Mayor Highland Park, Mayor of Lake Forest and the Community Development
Administrator of Lake County. The Mayor of Highland Park noted that CPAH was always required to cover all cost overruns and has never come
back to the City to request additional funds to complete a project. All 3 commented that CPAH's model to get city/county approval before a specific
address was identified has allowed CPAH to operate efficiently and effectively and respond quickly with competitive offers on vacant and foreclosed
properties.

Date: February 12, 2013
Recommendation
The Housing and Homelessness Commission and staff recommend the approval of a
$458,777 forgivable HOME loan for the rehabilitation of 10 rental units to Housing
Options for the Mentally Ill.
Funding
Funding is provided by the HOME fund. Currently, the City has a balance of
approximately $1.1 million in its HOME line of credit comprising entitlement grants and
program income from FY2012 and prior years that must be committed to projects by
August 31, 2013. Funding this project would help meet the commitment deadline in a
timely manner.
Discussion
Housing Options seeks to rehabilitate 10 permanent supportive housing apartment units
in three small apartment buildings located throughout Evanston. Housing Options has
owned and operated these buildings for 12 -20 years; they are older and in need of
significant rehabilitation. Twenty-one individuals live in the 10 apartment units. The units
proposed for rehabilitation provide affordable housing to individuals with disabling
conditions. All individuals have incomes under 50% of the area median income (AMI),
with most under 30% AMI. Housing Options' properties have received ongoing property
maintenance. The rehabilitation proposed is for items above and beyond this regular
maintenance schedule and includes entry-intercom system replacement, minor kitchen
remodeling, furnaces, windows, and a porch replacement. This rehabilitation will not
require any relocation, as work is not excessively intrusive for tenants. Housing Options
plans to use Just Builders as their General Contractor. Just Builders is an Evanston
Based Enterprise as well as a Section 3 Business.

For City Council meeting of February 25, 2013 Item P4
Ordinance 22-O-13 Granting Major Zoning Relief to Eliminate Required Off-Street
Parking at 1615 Oak Avenue
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Director of Community and Economic Development Dept.
Dennis Marino, Manager, Planning and Zoning Division
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner, Planning and Zoning Division
Subject: Ordinance 22-O-13 Granting Major Zoning Relief to Eliminate Required Off-
Street Parking at 1615 Oak Avenue
Date: February 13, 2013
Recommended Action
Staff recommends the adoption of Ordinance 22-O-13 granting major zoning relief to
convert seven required off-street parking spaces into an outdoor seating area and bicycle
parking at Smylie Brothers Restaurant & Brewery for a total of zero off-street parking
spaces. The Zoning Board of Appeals found this as well in its findings for a positive
recommendation of the relief since the proposal will improve pedestrian safety and will not
negatively impact adjacent properties. Parking for patrons can be provided in the
adjacent City surface parking lot and at the Oak Avenue and Davis Street metered street
spaces, especially near the post office. The post office is closed during the peak evening
hours of the proposed use, so the shared parking concept works well for this site, and the
applicant will provide valet parking on Friday and Saturday evenings for restaurant
patrons.
Summary
This property is located midblock on the east side of Oak Avenue between Davis and
Church Street, opposite the post office. The property is located in the D2 Downtown
Retail Core District and is completely surrounded by other D Districts. The existing
building has been vacant for the last few years, but was previously the State of Illinois
employment office. The applicant plans to open Smylie Brothers Restaurant & Brewery,
and would like to remove the on-site parking to increase safety near the entrance, and to
create an outdoor eating area and bicycle parking.
The site currently has seven off-street parking spaces. The applicant feels the current
parking setup is dangerous for restaurant patrons since families will be entering and
Memorandum
255 of 357
exiting the building within a few feet of vehicles pulling into and out of spaces. The
applicant also feels that the current parking area would be better utilized as an outdoor
eating area with a small space for bicycle parking. The outdoor eating area is proposed
at 1,280 square feet and the bicycle parking is 300 square feet. Planters and perimeter
barriers are proposed to ensure both safety and pleasing aesthetics. The City’s Public
Works Department has indicated three metered on-street parking spaces could be added
as parallel parking on the street once the seven on-site spaces are removed.
The surface lot to the north of the restaurant is not fully utilized during evenings and
weekends when the post office is closed, which will be the busiest operational hours for
the restaurant. The adjacent businesses on Oak, Davis, and Church Street do not feature
on-site parking, so their patrons utilize public parking. The Zoning Ordinance allows
businesses within 1000’ of a city parking garage or lot to lease spaces that may count
towards the required parking. Both the Maple Avenue garage and the Sherman Plaza
garage are within 1000’ of the restaurant, and there is a city-owned surface lot adjacent to
the restaurant, just north of the alley with 22 metered spaces
The applicant has indicated he is willing to lease one garage space for employee use,
however all employees will be encouraged to utilize public transportation or ride bicycles.
All of the permit spaces in the adjacent surface lot are currently utilized, but multiple
metered spaces are frequently available. With the three spaces the City plans to add on
the street, the area will see a net loss of four parking spaces. The applicant feels the
parking available in the area will be adequate for his patrons during most times, and plans
to offer valet parking during peak weekend times.
The proposed parking variance should not adversely impact the neighborhood or adjacent
properties since the applicant is proposing a parking plan similar to what the other
businesses in the area currently do. City staff is not aware of any objections to the
proposal. The proposed streetscape improvements are a welcome addition that will make
the block more pedestrian and bicycle friendly.
Neighborhood Benefit
This use should not cause any type of negative cumulative effect on the surrounding
neighborhood. Although there will be a net decrease of four parking spaces, there will still
be a variety of parking options in the vicinity. The proposed restaurant will improve the
neighborhood by utilizing a currently vacant building, improving the streetscape, and
improving pedestrian safety.
Comprehensive Plan
The Evanston Comprehensive General Plan encourages redevelopment along existing
commercial corridors that can add to the property tax base, sales tax revenue, and
improve streetscapes and pedestrian areas. The Comprehensive Plan specifically
includes:
256 of 357
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: Make quality design a priority for the construction and
maintenance of all property.
This parking variance will allow a new restaurant to improve a currently vacant building in
an existing commercial area and increase pedestrian safety while improving the
streetscape along private property through well-planned landscaping.
Legislative History
January 22, 2013: The ZBA recommended the City Council approve the requested
zoning relief to eliminate all off-street parking with the following
conditions:
1. Valet parking must be provided on Friday and Saturday nights.
2. One parking space must be leased in a City parking garage.
3. Employees cannot park in metered spaces in front of the restaurant or in the City
owned parking lot to the north.
4. The applicant must consult with the zoning department for the landscaping and bicycle
parking prior to obtaining a building permit.

New Business
2628 Gross Point Road ZBA 12ZMJV-0089
Crawford & Gross Point LLC, property owner, applies for a special use for a drive through
facility and major zoning relief for an 18’ pedestrian setback for Chase Bank at 2628 Gross
Point Road. 2628 Gross Point Road is located in the B1a Business District and the oCSC
Central Street Corridor Overlay Subarea 6, which requires a special use permit for a drive
through facility to operate (Zoning Code Section 6-9-5-3 and 6-15-4-6) and a variance to allow
an 18’ pedestrian setback off of Gross Point Road where 30’ is required (Zoning Code Section
6-15-14-12). The Zoning Board of Appeals makes a recommendation to City Council, the
determining body for this case.
The applicant requested the case be continued to February 5, 2013. Mr. Gingold motioned to
continue the case to February 5, 2013. The motion was seconded by Ms. Berns, and approved
5-0.
1615 Oak Avenue ZBA 12ZMJV-0087
Michael Smylie, property manager, applies for major zoning relief to convert 7 required off-street
parking spaces into an outdoor seating area and bicycle parking at Smylie Brothers Restaurant
& Brewery. The applicant requests the elimination of 7 required off-street parking spaces for a
total of zero off-street parking spaces where 22 are required (Zoning Code Section 6-16-3-5).
The Zoning Board of Appeals makes a recommendation to City Council, the determining body
for this case.
Mr. Smylie explained the proposal:
• Employees will be encouraged to use public transportation
• Willing to rent one space in a parking garage
• Hoping the bicycle parking will encourage more bicycle use
• Restaurant will feature 150 indoor seats and 40 outdoor seats
263 of 357
APPROVED
Page 2 of 3
Zoning Board of Appeals
• Beer will be produced on premises, and there will be a full restaurant
• Deliveries will be made through the alley to the north on a weekly basis
Ms. Summers asked if valet service will be available to the restaurant patrons, and Mr. Smylie
responded that valet service will be available on Friday and Saturday nights, and possibly
Thursday nights.
Mr. Gingold asked what businesses use the public lot to the north, and Mr. Smylie responded
that the parking lot is primarily utilized by post office employees.
Ms. Berns asked how many patrons are expected on a weekend night, and Mr. Smylie
responded the hope is for 300 patrons, so that each seat turns over once during the dinner rush.
Ms. Summers asked for landscaping details, and Mr. Smylie explained that year-round plants
will be used, and noted that he hopes to use hops, which is a perennial vine.
Mr. Gingold asked how many employees will work at one time, and Mr. Smylie answered there
should be 10 employees working at a time. Mr. Gingold noted that a condition should be placed
on the special use so that employees must use off-street parking and may not use the metered
spaces in the north parking lot.
The Zoning Board members then entered into deliberations:
Mr. Gingold noted the building is set back from the street, yet most of the other buildings in the
area frontage right up to the sidewalk/street. He also noted the other businesses only have
street parking.
Ms. Berns felt that with 300 customers per night on a weekend, valet service is definitely
needed. Ms. Summers concurred.
Ms. McLennan asked if a handicap parking space should be required, and Mr. Gingold noted
there is a handicap space directly across the street near the post office.
The Standards were then discussed, and all of the Standards were found to be met.
Mr. Gingold recommended the City should install 3 metered on-street parking spaces in front of
the restaurant.
Mr. Gingold motioned to recommend approval with the following conditions:
1) Valet parking must be provided on Friday and Saturday nights.
2) One parking space must be leased in a parking garage.
3) Employees cannot park in metered spaces in front of the restaurant or in the north
parking lot.
4) The applicant must consult with the zoning department for the landscaping and bicycle
parking.
Ms. Berns seconded the motion, which was approved 5-0.
1426 Greenleaf Street 12ZMJV-0088
Kent Marthaler, architect, applies for major zoning relief to raise the roof of a 2-story residence
to enhance the appearance of the structure and allow for more insulation. The applicant
requests a street side yard setback of 5.4’ where 15’ is required (Zoning Code Section 6-8-4-7-
A-2). The Zoning Board of Appeals is the determining body for this case.
Property owner Michael Thomas explained the proposal:
• A new roof structure will be built on top of the existing roof.
264 of 357
APPROVED
Page 3 of 3
Zoning Board of Appeals
• Existing roof will remain
• Ceiling inside will remain undisturbed
• New roof will not encroach any further towards the street
• The new attic space will be filled with insulation and will not be accessible living space.
Ms. Summers asked if the peak height is within the zoning regulations, and Ms. Klotz responded
the proposed peak height is 25.8’ where a maximum 35’ is permitted.
Ms. Summers asked Mr. Thomas if he has spoken to his neighbors about the proposal, and he
responded no, but a sign is posted on the property and no one has contacted him.
Mr. Gingold noted the proposal looks like a good improvement. Ms. Berns concurred and noted
that all of the Standards have been met.
Mr. Gingold motioned for approval with the condition the project be within substantial
compliance with the documents and testimony on record, and Ms. McLennan seconded the
motion. The motion was approved 5-0.
The meeting adjourned at 8:45pm.

For City Council meeting of February 25, 2013 Item P5 and P6
Ordinances 2-O-13 and 3-O-13 Amending the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map –
Establish the Howard-Ridge Overlay District.
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: Proposed Ordinances 2-O-13 and 3-O-13 Amending the Zoning Ordinance
and Zoning Map to Establish the Howard-Ridge Overlay District
Date: February 19, 2013
Recommended Action
The Plan Commission, by a vote of 5-2, recommends against the adoption of the Howard-
Ridge Overlay District (Ordinances 2-O-13 and 3-O-13), which would require certain types
of new Retail Service uses such as hair salons, nail salons, beauty shops, and barber
shops, to operate only by Special Use in the Howard-Ridge TIF District. Should the
Planning and Development Committee and City Council desire to reverse the Plan
Commission’s recommendation, motions to do so should be made prior to the introduction
of Ordinance 2-O-13 that amends the Zoning Ordinance text to create a new overlay
zoning district and Ordinance 3-O-13 that amends the Zoning Map by placing the
properties in the Howard-Ridge TIF District into the new overlay zoning district.
(P5) Ordinance 2-O-13 Amending the Text of the Zoning Ordinance by Enacting a New
Section 6-15-17, “oHR Howard-Ridge Overlay District”
For Introduction
(P6) Ordinance 3-O-13 Amending the Zoning Map to Place Certain Properties Within the
oHR Howard-Ridge Overlay District
For Introduction
Summary
The Plan Commission does not recommend the adoption of proposed Ordinance 2-O-13
and 3-O-13 to restrict certain Retail Service uses such as hair salons, nail salons, beauty
shops, and barber shops to be allowed by Special Use in the area currently bounded by the
Howard-Ridge TIF District. The consensus of the Plan Commission members was that the
zoning regulations within the Howard Street corridor should not differ for certain Retail
Memorandum
295 of 357
Service uses, and redevelopment of the area should instead be market-driven. General
Retail Service uses are currently permitted by right in the underlying B3 District, with no
additional zoning regulations for personal care services such as hair salons, nail salons,
beauty shops, and barber shops.
The current zoning regulations for such Retail Service uses may be problematic by allowing
the proliferation of personal care services on Howard Street. With the proximity to Chicago
zoning districts that are more restrictive to many uses, including certain Retail Service uses
such as hair salons, nail salons, beauty shops, and barber shops, a growing concentration
of such uses are present along the Evanston side of the corridor. The accumulation of
such uses in this area may impair the City’s ability to achieve the goals of the Howard -
Ridge TIF and may deter private sector investment consistent with the economic and
development goals of the TIF District. An overlay district that follows the boundary of the
Howard-Ridge TIF may better regulate certain Retail Service uses and prevent any
potential negative cumulative effects of similar uses within the area.
If the Special Use requirement were imposed, such uses that currently exist within the
overlay boundary would be granted legal nonconforming status and would be allowed to
continue operations within their current locations. Legally nonconforming uses may
transfer over to new businesses of the same type(s) at those same locations so long as
each legally nonconforming use is not terminated or discontinued/abandoned for a period
of 12 consecutive months. If a legally nonconforming use is terminated or discontinued for
12 or more consecutive months, any new business of a similar use in the same location
would be required to obtain Special Use approval by City Council in order to locate within
the proposed overlay. This means that over time, the amount of personal care service
businesses within the overlay boundary would be restricted by the number of new Special
Uses approved by City Council.
The Plan Commission initially discussed the proposed regulations with a 2 year
amortization period, although the amortization is not included in proposed ordinances 2-O-
13 or 3-O-13. The previous proposal with the 2 year amortization would have required all
existing personal care service uses within the overlay district gain Special Use approval
within 2 years of the establishment of the overlay or cease business operations. The
amortization would prevent the personal care service uses from continuing as legal
nonconforming uses or from transferring their legal nonconforming status to new
businesses locating where existing personal care services held such status. The
commissioners uniformly found amortization to be unacceptable and unfair to existing
businesses, arguing they should not be required to close by new zoning regulations that did
not exist when they chose to locate on Howard Street.
The Commission directed staff to amend the proposed text amendment to exclude
amortization of existing businesses, so that all existing personal care service businesses
could continue operation indefinitely with legal nonconforming status. At their next
meeting, the Commission discussed alternatives, including shortening the abandonment
296 of 357
period necessary to eliminate legal nonconforming status from the standard 12 months.
Ultimately, the Commission recommended denial of the proposed overlay because 5 of the
7 commissioners stated the zoning regulations within the Howard Street corridor should
remain the same for all Retail Service uses, and redevelopment of the area should instead
be market-, not ordinance-driven. For more information regarding the Plan Commission
discussions, see the attached Plan Commission meeting minutes of November 14 and
December 12, 2012.
The proposed Howard-Ridge Overlay District follows the exact boundary of the Howard-
Ridge TIF, and includes the following purpose statement:
The purpose of the oHR Howard-Ridge Overlay District is to ensure change in
use of those sites occupied by certain types of Retail Service Establishments
that have proliferated within the District, encourage development of tax
revenue-generating Uses within the District in a manner that minimizes
adverse effects on nearby properties, and promote redevelopment in
accordance with the Tax Increment Redevelopment Plan and Project for the
Howard and Ridge Tax Increment Financing District, adopted by the City
pursuant to Ordinance 1-O-04.
Certain uses that are currently classified as Retail Service Establishments and permitted in
this corridor will be restricted to Special Use approval to give the City a means of stopping
the proliferation of any negative cumulative effects of such uses. These uses include:
Personal Care Services, including hair salons, barbershops, hair braiding, nail
salons, beauty parlors, spas, and other such businesses determined by the
Zoning Administrator to be of the same or similar type and intensity.
Divinatory Arts, including psychics, astrologers, Tarot card readers, fortune
tellers, spiritualists and other such businesses determined by the Zoning
Administrator to be of the same or similar type and intensity.
The proposed Howard-Ridge Overlay District is a way for the City to encourage the
revitalization and development of the Howard Street corridor and address issues that are
prevalent in that area because of the proximity to Chicago’s strict zoning regulations. The
proposed overlay will not prohibit new businesses from establishing in the area, but will
instead provide a way for the City to ensure the goals of the Howard-Ridge TIF are met by
addressing the issue of negative cumulative effect of certain uses, encouraging
development, and increasing the tax base.

PLAN COMMISSION
Wednesday, December 12, 2012
7:00 P.M.
Evanston Civic Center, 2100 Ridge Avenue, Council Chambers
Members Present: Seth Freeman, Patricia Ledesma, Scott Peters (Chair), David
Galloway, Jim Ford, Kwesi Steele, Richard Shure
Members Absent: Barbara Putta, Lenny Asaro, Stuart Opdycke (Associate)
Staff Present: Melissa Klotz, Dennis Marino, Ken Cox
Presiding Member: Scott Peters, Chairman
1. CALL TO ORDER / DECLARATION OF QUORUM
With a quorum present, Chairman Peters called the meeting to order at 7:08 P.M.
2. APPROVAL OF NOVEMBER 14, 2012 MEETING MINUTES
Commissioner Ledesma motioned for approval of the November 14, 2012 meeting
minutes. Commissioner Freeman seconded the motion.
A voice vote was taken and the minutes were approved 7-0.
3. ZONING MAP AND TEXT AMENDMENT 12PLND-0069
Consideration of text and map amendments, pursuant to City Code Title 6, Zoning,
for an Overlay District on Howard Street that follows the boundary of the Howard-
Ridge TIF District, bounded on the west by Ridge Avenue, on the east by the City
limits, and including 5 parcels on Chicago Avenue, to a northernmost point of 132
Chicago Avenue.
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner, explained that the updated proposal does not contain
amortization, so personal care service uses would be required to obtain special use
approval for locations that did not previously have a similar personal care service use, or
where such a previous use discontinued for twelve consecutive months.
Alderman Rainey explained that Chicago basically does not allow those types of uses on
their side of the Howard Street corridor. Amortization of existing businesses is not a
good thing. Instead, existing businesses should lose their legal nonconforming status
when they go out of business, so that a new business looking to locate in the same
space would be required to obtain a special use permit.
Ken Cox, Assistant City Attorney, explained that one problem with limiting the
nonconforming status to current businesses rather than their sites, is that these
310 of 357

Page 2 of 3
Plan Commission Minutes
businesses are not required to obtain business licenses, so there is no connection
between them and the City.
Commissioner Freeman asked if a 90 day rather than the typical 12 month
discontinuation of use could be enacted specific to this area.
Commissioner Shure asked if everyone is in agreement that there are too many of these
uses in this area that are detrimental to economic development, and Commissioner Ford
said if they are nonfunctioning then yes.
Chairman Peters stated the problem is not that they are non-functioning; it is the effect of
the accumulation of that type of use. Another example would be fast food restaurants.
Commissioner Putta arrived at 7:40 P.M.
Commissioner Ford motioned not to move the proposal forward to City Council, and then
withdrew the motion. Commissioner Ford then motioned for denial of the proposed
Howard-Ridge Overlay text and map amendments. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Ledesma. The motion for denial was approved 5-2, with Commissioner
Putta abstaining.
4. ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT 12PLND-0071
Consideration of the proposed text amendment, pursuant to City Code §6-6 of the
Zoning Ordinance to discuss the zoning regulations for increasing the bulk of
structures with one to four-family residential nonconforming uses.
Ms. Klotz explained the problem certain nonconforming uses, such as residences, have
when they are older homes that are located in non-residential zoning districts. Since
such homes are considered to have nonconforming uses, they are not allowed to expand
the use, i.e. put a small addition onto the home. The proposed process would allow such
homeowners to apply for approval to move forward with an increase of nonconformity.
The Zoning Administrator would decide whether or not to grant the approval, based on a
set of Standards similar to the minor variance Standards and process. If approved, a
homeowner could then apply for a building permit and/or variance.
Commissioner Freeman suggested “extraordinary” be removed from Standard A, and
that the date of January 14, 2012 in the draft ordinance be changed to the correct year of
2013. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Shure, and approved unanimously.
Commissioner Ford motioned for approval of the text amendment, and was seconded by
Commissioner Shure. The motion was approved unanimously.
5. COMMITTEE REPORTS
Commissioners Peters and Asaro will continue to co-chair the Comprehensive Plan
Committee.

Zoning, for an Overlay District on Howard Street that follows the boundary of the
Howard Ridge TIF District, bounded on the west by Ridge Avenue, on the east by
the City limits, and including 5 parcels on Chicago Avenue, to a northernmost point
of 132 Chicago Avenue.
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner, provided a staff report concerning the proposed
establishment of an Overlay District on Howard Street that would define beauty salons
and barbershops and make them a special use. This overlay proposes an amortization
period that will require all existing businesses that meet this definition to apply for a
special use for approval after two years time.
Chairman Peters opened the discussion asking for a motion concerning the proposed
map and text amendment.
Commissioners concerned with the amortization proposed and the restriction of these
uses
Commissioner Ford motioned to send the proposed text and map amendment back to
City staff to refine and propose new regulations that look at non-amortization uses to
help regulate beauty salons and barbershops, and continued the discussion to the
December 12, 2012 Plan Commission meeting.
Commissioner Steele seconded the motion.
A voice vote was taken, the motion passed 6-0.

3. OLD BUSINESS
4. NEW BUSINESS
A) 12PLND-0070 Consideration of the proposed text amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance to discuss the regulation of banquet halls as permitted and
special uses.
Zoning Planner Melissa Klotz explained that banquet halls do not currently have a
use category that they adequately fit into in the Zoning Ordinance.
Citizen Steven Schwartz explained that he would like to open a banquet hall in
Evanston. He plans to have an indoor space, bring in food (but not have a kitchen on
site), and accommodate approximately 150 people per event in a 3,000 square foot
party space with an extra 1,000 square foot private area.
Commissioners discussed whether to add a specific time limit into the proposed
definition but decided a time limit was unnecessary.
316 of 357
APPROVED
Page 2 of 3
Evanston Zoning Committee of the Plan Commission Minutes
Commissioner Peters motioned to recommend approval of the proposed definition
and districts, which would allow banquet halls by special use in all B, C, D, and M
districts, as well as the O1 and RP districts. Commissioner Ford seconded the
motion, and the motion was approved unanimously. The proposed text amendment
will move forward to the Plan Commission on November 14, 2012.
B) 12PLND-0069 Consideration of an overlay district on Howard Street
bounded on the west by Ashland Avenue and on the east by the City limits.
Zoning Planner Melissa Klotz explained the proposed overlay district, and referred to
the documents and statistics provided in the 2010 Full Circle Report that discussed
the impact of certain uses on Howard Street.
Commissioners discussed how the overlay district could address existing businesses
and whether or not those sites would be granted legal nonconformity and allow a new
business to continue an existing nonconforming use.
Alderman Rainey mentioned the possibility of instituting a distance requirement for
certain uses.
Commissioners discussed what the overlay district boundary should be and felt it
would be best to follow the Howard Ridge TIF boundary.
Alderman Rainey mentioned establishing a definition for personal care services. The
Commissioners discussed such, and decided the personal care service use in the
overlay district would be a subset of the existing retail service category. Other
subsets may be included for tarot cards, psychics, etc.
Commissioners felt a distance requirement would not be necessary since the issue of
negative cumulative effect could be addressed in the special use process.
Commissioner Peters motioned to recommend approval of the proposed overlay
district with the boundary and special uses as discussed. Commissioner Ford
seconded the motion, and the motion was approved unanimously.
C) 12PLND-0071 Consideration of the proposed text amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance to discuss the zoning regulations for increasing the bulk of
nonconforming structures with nonconforming uses.
Zoning Planner Melissa Klotz explained the limitations the Zoning Ordinance
currently places on such uses and structures, and the implications that has for certain
properties.
Commissioner Ford stated his concern with the proposal being just an administrative
process. He felt it would be better served like minor variances, where there is a set
of standards created to base approval upon.
Commissioners discussed if such a process should only be allowed for residential
uses or residentially zoned lots. Commissioners felt it would be helpful to have an
317 of 357

inventory of the existing nonconforming uses to gain a better understanding of what
nonconforming uses exist.
Commissioner Peters motioned to lay the item over to the next Zoning Committee of
the Plan Commission meeting so that staff could provide more information as
discussed. Commissioner Ford seconded the motion, and the motion was approved
unanimously.

5. DISCUSSION
A) Consideration of an overlay district in the Howard Ridge TIF
Zoning Planner Melissa Klotz explained the imbalance of retail service uses in the
Howard Street corridor, and the impact it presents on the economic development of the
Howard Ridge TIF.
Alderman Rainey added that 7 or 8 of any specific use is too many within a small
expanse such as the 400-800 blocks of Howard Street.
The commissioners discussed the current businesses on Howard Street, the current
economic development issues, the role the TIF plays, and how to encourage the proper
type of economic growth in the corridor.

Page 2 of 2
Evanston Zoning Committee of the Plan Commission Minutes
Commissioner Opdycke suggested establishing an overlay district that follows the entire
TIF boundary, and require certain non-retail uses to obtain special use permits.
Ms. Klotz suggested staff do an inventory of the businesses in the proposed area, to see
if an overlay boundary should follow the TIF boundary or extend further, and to see what
uses are most prevalent in the area.
Alderman Rainey noted that staff member Sue Guderley may have useful information
from when the Howard Ridge TIF was established.
Ms. Klotz explained that this discussion would continue at the next Zoning Committee
meeting, where it will be a New Business item that has been publicly noticed and
motions could be made on.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Human Services Committee
From: Douglas J. Gaynor, Director, Parks, Recreation & Community Services
Subject: Resolution 5-R-13 Regarding Payment Plan for Water Bills Owed to the
City by Evanston Wilmette Golf Course Association
Date: February 25, 2013
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 5-R-13 regarding the payment of accrued
water bills owed to the City by the Evanston Wilmette Golf Course Association
(EWGCA) for the Frank Govern Memorial Golf Course.
Summary:
The EWGCA has been behind in paying their water bills to the City of Evanston on and
off for the last several years. Currently, they owe the City $18,453.86. Through an
extreme effort by the EWGCA Board, they have been able to develop a business plan
that includes re-populating the “Board”, developing subcommittees and creating a 2013
budget that reflects a balanced budget and payment plan to eliminate the debt.
Legislative History:
At the January 7, 2013 Human Services Committee meeting, the EWGCA Board
presented their plan to successfully operate the Golf Course. The Human Services
Committee accepted the report and recommended that a payment plan be drafted and
sent to the full City Council for consideration.
