From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting 12-3-2019
Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Good
evening
this
is
a
public
hearing
of
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals.
The
zoning
ordinance
empowers
us
to
hear
references
from
the
City
Council
petitions
from
other
parties
for
variances
and
special
uses
and
appeals
from
decisions
of
the
Zoning
Administrator.
We
hear
testimony
for
those
from
those
in
attendance
and
then
make
formal
findings
of
fact,
based
on
the
evidence
presented,
which
consists
of
testimony
and
exhibits
and
our
knowledge
of
the
community.
We
then
either
make
a
determination
or
recommendation
to
the
City
Council.
A
The
testimony
is
taken
under
oath,
although
we
do
not
apply
the
strict
rules
of
evidence
and
procedures,
we
ask
that
you
keep
your
testimony
relevant
to
the
proposal
as
it
relates
to
the
standards
contained
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
When
you
testify,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
and
print
your
name
on
the
sign-in
sheet
provided
outside
the
door.
Each
case
will
be
introduced
by
staff
and
a
list
of
documents
will
be
read
into
the
record.
Then
the
applicant
will
give
an
explanation
of
the
proposal
after
that.
A
C
A
B
First,
just
a
note
on
the
agenda
that
there
are
no
meeting
minutes
for
approval
for
tonight.
So
moving
on
to
1031
Sherman
Avenue,
the
case
is
scheduled
to
be
continued
to
January
21st
2020.
It
will
likely
be
withdrawn,
but
it
has
not
been
at
this
time.
So
if
we
could
have
a
motion
in
a
second
to
continue
it
I
move.
E
B
E
B
B
Additionally,
from
the
packet,
two
letters
of
support
were
handed
out
to
members
of
the
Zoning
Board
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
and
also
to
clarify
there
is
an
error
in
the
staff
memo
at
the
bottom
of
page
one.
It's
listed
as
a
condition
that
there
cannot
be
any
basement
excavation,
and
that
is
incorrect
and
it
was
incorrect
in
the
dabber
minutes.
So
to
clarify
for
everyone
that
was
not
a
condition
that
can.
B
D
B
F
F
F
Oh
one,
brief
thing:
Melissa's
description
of
the
project
during
the
process
of
going
through
historic
preservation
and
dapper,
we
did
make
some
minor
changes
so
that
rear
yard
setback
is
actually
four
instead
of
three,
which
sounds
minor,
but
given
the
site,
it
was
something
and
the
lot
coverage
is
fifty,
not
fifty
one.
So
we
tried
to
shrink
it
given
the
constraints
of
construction
for
a
garage.
B
G
G
We
are
ecstatic
that
our
daughter
and
her
husband
and
her
children
will
live
on
the
first
floor
and
be
co-owners
with
us.
After
we're
all
done
with
construction,
we
have
to
figure
out
how
that
the
legal
stuff
on
that-
and
we
also
want
to
do
as
many
green
things
as
we
can
afford
and
specifically
we're
gonna,
definitely
do
energy-efficient
HVAC
and
new
energy-efficient
windows,
and
my
son-in-law
has
an
electric
car,
so
he'll
be
able
to
charge
that
in
the
new
garage
so
I,
you
said,
3.2
I'm,
not
sure
I.
Think
it's
three
point.
Five,
seven.
G
That's
on
the
the
north
and
then
four
feet:
rear
yard
setback,
the
50
point,
whatever
building
lot
coverage
and
then
the
side
yard
setback.
So
we
want
to
add
a
small
first
floor
deck
on
the
south
side
and
that's
why
there
is
that
that
fourth
variance
the
first
three
variances
are
all
due
to
the
new
garage.
Can.
D
G
The
north
house,
yes
coplanar,
and
it's
also
non-conforming
in
the
rear.
It's
only
24
feet,
there's
only
24
feet
between
the
building
and
the
which
leads
to
the.
How
do
we
get
a
garage
in
it?
So
that's
why
you're
building
an
attached
garage
so
I
just
want
to.
Hopefully
all
of
you
read
the
memorandum,
but
I
want
to
point
out
that
staff
recommends
approval
of
our
project.
They
believe
it's
in
keeping
with
the
intent
of
the
zoning
ordinance
and
the
goals
of
the
Comprehensive
Plan.
G
So
I
made
slides
for
all
the
standards
and
all
the
intents
and
purposes
of
the
zoning
ordinance,
but
since
staff
recommended
it
and
and
I
already
went
through
a
lot
of
the
zoning
standards,
I
and
preservation
recommended
the
project
and
dapper
recommended
the
project.
I
will
only
show
you
the
slides,
where
there
are
concerns
that
were
discussed
in
the
memorandum.
G
So
here's
the
front
of
our
house
pictures
from
the
southeast
and
the
Northeast
and
on
the
top
right
is
the
3d
that
we
had
done
if
I
had
a
fancy
pointer,
I
point
out
so
the
side
deck.
First
of
all
you,
you
can't
see
the
dormers
from
the
front.
There
are
32
feet
behind
the
front
of
the
building
and
pretty
small
and.
H
G
F
G
G
Here
is
the
rear
existing.
So
up
at
the
top,
you
can
see
the
existing
deck
on
the
second
floor
and
you
can
see
there's
already
sliding
glass
doors
on
the
second
floor,
so
the
new
garage
or
the
new
deck
would
be
where
the
old
deck
is
just
further
out
and
the
screen
porch
would
be
kind
of
hot.
Behind
that
mulberry
tree
right.
There.
G
So,
first
standard
does
it
have
adverse
impact
on
the
neighbors.
Basically,
so
first,
let
me
show
you:
the
brown
outline
is
the
existing
deck.
It
goes
back
about
ten
feet.
The
black
rectangle
on
the
top
left
is
the
existing
gravel
parking
space.
So
the
light
is
only
like
I
said
twenty
four
feet
a
little
longer
right
there,
but
the
deck
is
ten
feet,
so
it's
a
short
spot
and
not
really
adequate
anyway.
G
The
green
is
the
new
garage.
The
greenish
yellow
is
the
new,
the
location
of
new
new
garage,
the
pale
yellow
to
the
left.
First,
let
me
say
the
the
redline
is
the
existing
fence
and
I
went
and
found
the
hash
marks
in
the
alley,
and
it's
encroaching
on
the
alley
about
a
foot.
So
the
pale
area
is
the
area
that
will
actually
be
given
back
to
open
space,
because
we
will
set
the
garage
back
four
feet
on
on
the
south
four
feet
in
the
middle
and
at
about
seven
feet
on
the
north
end.
G
D
D
There
was
a
suggestion
in
the
meeting
minutes
that
the
current
neighbor
to
the
north
does
not
take
very
good
care
of
the
property.
I.
Don't
know
you
know,
I,
don't
know
how
impactful
that
is,
but
so
maybe
Donnelly.
You
can
speak
to
this.
The
extension
beyond
the
current
existing
house
at
three
and
a
half
feet
from
the
north
watt
line
how
much
additional
footage,
how
much
additional
space
does
the
wall
continue
back
in
terms
of
you
know,
because
that,
because
there
is
a
back,
how
many
feet
can
you
see
only.
D
F
D
D
F
G
So
I
spent
a
few
hours
working
on
a
rendering
of
the
rear
on
the
left.
You
can
see
the
existing
it's
a
multi-unit
building
I
actually
went
through
the
microfiche.
The
current
building
to
the
left
to
the
north
of
us
is
38
feet
tall
by
the
alley,
and
there
is
that
mulberry
tree
right
there
dividing
them.
G
G
We
have
a
screen.
The
screen,
porch
is
only
about
ten
feet
wide
and
those
are
screens
not
windows.
So
it's
less
obtrusive
than
say
a
coach
house
would
be,
and
then
we
have
the
open
deck.
On
the
second
floor
that
will
I'm
planning
on
planting
a
tree
on,
and
flowers
and
tomatoes
and
edibles,
you
can
see
on
the
right
that
we
now
have
room
for
the
garbage
cans
and
they
won't
be
hanging
out
in
the
alley,
and
you
can
I
also
drew
in
the
basketball
court.
G
The
right
to
the
right
of
the
garbage
can
that's
sort
of
upright
thing
with
vines
on
it.
Now
is
where
the
chain-link
fences
that
the
city
owns,
so
it's
11
feet.
High
I'm,
measured
it
I've
got
some
more
slow
alley
pictures,
so
you
can
see
so
currently.
This
is
the
our
fence
on
the
right
that
encroaches
about
a
foot
and
then
with
all
the
greenery
outside
of
it.
It's
sticking
out
there
a
good
three
feet
into
the
alley,
the
offense
across
from
us
as
stone
and
probably
right
on
the
lot
line.
G
G
These
are
all
views
from
the
alley
two
doors
north
of
us
is
the
first
top
left
is
two
doors
I'm,
not
sure.
If
this
is
a
coach
house
or
if
it's
just
storage
space
or
something,
but
it's
a
tall
garage
that
is
our
next-door
neighbor
with
the
38
foot
tall
three-story
addition
on
the
rear
of
that
building
and
you
can
see
they
have
open
gravel
parking
all
the
way
across
from.
H
G
Then
there's
another
coach
house
on
the
alley:
a
two-story
Coach
house
on
the
south
end
and
this
beautiful
coach
house
on
the
north
end
the
the
red
brick
one.
That's
two
and
a
half
stories
high
on
the
alley
and
then
there's
that
the
bottom
rate
is
one
and
a
half
whatever
story
garaged
with
asphalt
parking
space,
but
you
can
see,
there's
no
rear
yard
there.
There
are
five
other
buildings
on
oak
on
our
side
of
the
alley.
G
G
F
G
G
The
one
intent
of
the
zoning
ordinance
is
quote
is
to
determine
quote
the
area
of
open
spaces
between
and
among
the
surrounding
buildings.
The
South
yard
is
not
interior
in
that
it
is
not
adjacent
to
another
residence,
nor
is
it
adjacent
to
the
street.
It's
not
between
and
among
surrounding
buildings.
Its
adjacent
to
the
city
park,
with
the
11-foot
chain-link
fence,
on
the
property
line
and
the
full
court
basketball
court
about
15
feet
from
the
property
line.
G
So
I
question
whether
or
not
this
one
is
actually
a
variance
given
the
strict
reading
of
the
regulation,
but
in
any
case,
having
living
space
next
to
the
park
will
have
a
positive
impact
on
safety
in
the
park,
since
residents
will
at
times
be
on
the
deck.
Currently,
there
is
a
little
hidden
area
between
the
bushes
and
the
fence
and
the
park
where
kids
hang
out.
The
only
neighbor
to
come
to
one
of
our
hearings
was
at
preservation
and
he
commented
after
the
meeting
on
illicit
activity
in
the
park.
H
G
We
learned
that
preservation
that
there
is
a
court
ruling
about
whether
city
parks
are
part
of
the
public
way
staff
reported
that
the
court
said
that
they
were
not
and
could
not
be
included
in
preservations
definition
of
public
space.
So
I
wonder
about
this
application
of
the
code
in
our
case,
since
our
deck
is
not
really
interior
or
between
or
among
surrounding
buildings.
G
Also
in
reference
to
standard
for
not
having
an
outdoor
living
area
would
be
a
huge
hardship
for
our
daughter
and
her
chef,
husband
and
their
children.
So
we
ask
you
to
let
the
proposed
deck
on
the
south
side
remain
in
the
plan,
so
standard
four
asks
about
a
hardship
or
practical
difficulty.
If
the
strict
letter
of
the
regulations
were
to
be
carried
out
regarding
the
garage
addition,
there
is
no
solution
that
carries
out
the
strict
letter
of
the
regulation.
G
If
we
were
to
have
three
gravel
parking
spaces
which
zoning
says
our
twenty
by
ten
each,
then
we
would
still
be
out
of
compliance
on
building
lot
coverage
and
on
rear
yard
setback,
since
there's
only
twenty
four
and
a
half
feet,
and
we
would
have
no
outdoor
living
space,
no
elevator
option
and
an
ugly
mess
back
there.
So
without
the
garage
neither
unit
is
accessible
since
the
elevator
would
be
in
the
garage.
We
don't
have
enough
parking
spaces.
G
No
parking
spaces
means
sometimes
walking
four
blocks
to
park.
The
car
we
have
had
to
do
that
as
we
looked
at
the
building.
If
we
had
open,
open
parking
spaces,
we'd
have
no
backyard
and
open
parking
spaces
in
winter
is
a
non-starter
for
our
Aging
in
Place.
These
are
hardships
or
practical
difficulties
so
standard
six,
the
alleged
difficulty
or
hardship
has
not
been
created
by
any
person
by
us.
The
property
was
planted
by
the
city.
Zoning
guidelines
were
made
by
the
city.
The
building
is
currently
out
of
compliance.
G
So
have
other
alternatives
been
considered
so
again,
there
is
no
alternative
that
meets
the
parking
requirement
and
that
doesn't
violate
other
code
requirements.
Open
parking
has
been
suggested,
but
we
would
still
be
out
of
compliance
with
building
block
coverage
and
we
would
still
have
insufficient
rear
yard
setback.
Open
parking
again
would
eliminate
outdoor
living
space
for
the
whole
building
and
eliminate
the
space
for
the
elevator,
which
makes
neither
unit
age-friendly.
G
We
have
a
place
for
the
elevator
in
the
corner
of
the
garage
and
and
honestly,
that's
why
we,
the
the
one
variance
the
three
and
a
half
feet
variance.
Is
there
because
we
can't
scoot
it
over
any
more
because
of
where
the
bearing
walls
are
the
foundation
walls.
So
it
kind
of
has
to
be
you're
right
in
that
spot
in
the
corner.
G
G
Department,
so
there
there
was
another
letter.
There
were
three
letters
from
neighbors,
but
they
didn't
put
them
in
the
packet.
So
a
bonus
all
right.
Hopefully
my
last
meeting
we
I'm
a
landscape
designer
and
contractor.
We
would
love
to
give
trees
for
neighborhoods
our
neighbors
enjoyment.
Of
course
we
would
meet
with
forestry
to
determine
species
and
location,
but
I
would
be
happy
to
plant
three
trees
in
Larimer,
Park,
I.
G
A
Norway,
it's
a
Norway,
maple
Norway's
are
invasive
and
obnoxious
trees
and
even
at
the
last
meeting,
Libby
Hill
and
Leslie
shad
were
there
testifying
about
the
tree,
ordinance
and
and
Leslie's
first
question
is:
what
is
that
tree
behind
your
building?
I'm
like
it's
in
Norway,
it's
just
like
okay,
fine,
it
can
go.
That's
the
that's
the
answer.
Thank
you.
G
So
one
last
point-
and
and
this
was
a
the
agent
place
thing-
was
brought
up
in
the
memorandum.
A
number
of
times
here
are
excerpts
from
the
World
Health
Organization
age-friendly
cities
project,
which
is
a
model
used
by
our
Commission
on
Aging.
The
it
suggests
that
public
officials
respect
the
decisions
of
aging
people
and
anticipate
and
respond
flexibly
to
age-related
needs
and
support,
accessible
housing
and
home
safety
designs.
G
G
G
The
commenter
can
continued
and
said
what
it
isn't:
aging-in-place
isn't
relocating
during
middle
age
and
purchasing
any
property
and
building
it
out
to
their
desire
without
respect
to
the
zoning
code.
That's
in
your
memorandum
from
staff
today,
but
additional
staff
disagreed
stating
the
intent
of
the
property
is
in
keeping
with
the
zoning
code
and
the
Comprehensive
Plan
staff
also
noted
a
lack
of
multi-generations
Alaska
lack
of
age
and
place
options
and
applauded
the
investment
we
will
be
making.
G
But
let's
look
at
that
statement
in
red
again
he
called
us
middle
age
to
be
transparent,
I
am
61,
my
husband
is
66.
He
is
retired,
I
hope
to
retire
soon.
We
now
have
three
grandchildren.
Why
I
like
to
think
of
myself
as
middle
age?
Most
standards
disagree.
Most
senior
communities
take

For
accessibility,
illness,

and
aging
means
homes
with
modifications
sought
after
but
hard
to
find
they
suggest,
even
if
you're
decades
from
retiring
the
sooner
you
tackle
projects,
the
likelier,
you
will
be
able
to
stay
in

G
So
there
are
just
not
many
housing
options
in
Evanston
or
many
or
other
cities
for
that
matter.
For
seniors,
it's
actually
an
alarming
national
crisis.
We
have
many
friends
our
age
who
are
moving
to
Florida
recently
North
Carolina
Arizona.
There
are
just
not
many
housing
and
options,
housing
options
in
Evanston
for
seniors.
There
are
some
expensive
high-rises
which
have
accessible
units
or
senior
living
facilities,
but
that
has
never
been
our
plan.
We
have
always
planned
on
staying
in
the
community.
There
are
very
few
single-family
or
multifamily
units
that
are
accessible.
G
G
We
have
gone
through
a
long
process
and
spent
a
lot
of
money
to
get
here
tonight
we
spoke
with
zoning
staff.
Before
we
purchase
the
building
in
May.
We
have
been
paying
our
architect
to
work
on
our
plan.
Since
then,
we
met
with
staff
in
September
and
subsequent
we
revised
our
plans
in
order
to
come
into
compliance
on
several
items.
Then
there
were
two
meetings
with
preservation
which
resulted
in
substantially
reducing
the
size
of
the
dormers,
changing
the
pitch
and
height
of
the
porch
roof,
making
it
less
bulky.
G
G
We
have
agreed
to
handle
stormwater
on
site,
even
though
we
are
in
a
common
compliance
on
impervious
surface
area
and
have
volunteered
to
plant
three
trees
in
the
park.
We
have
not
disrespected
the
zoning
code,
we
embrace
the
zoning
ordinance
and
the
comprehensive
general
plan
and
the
green
building
ordinance.
We
love
the
architecture
of
our
building
and
the
friendly
ambience
of
the
neighborhood,
and
we
want
to
contribute
to
that.
D
D
G
We
well
you
mean
like
grass
lawn
yeah
yeah,
but
then,
but
then
how
do
they
grill?
How
do
they
have
a
table
where
they
can
sit
outside
and
eat
and
I
mean
we?
We
want
to
provide
a
living
space,
not
just
for
our
daughter's
family
but
for
any
future
tenants
family
that
they
could
have
on
the
side
of
the
building
there
I.
D
Am
once
again,
one
of
the
standards
that
we
have
to
find
is
Matt
is
that
you
are
doing
the
least
deviation
from
the
zoning
ordinances
as
possible,
and
it's
a
little
bit
hard
to
say.
You
know
if
they've
made
this
recommendation
that
that
to
include
it
nonetheless,
is
still
the
least
deviation
possible.
So
again,
I'm
I'm,
just
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
that
round
peg
fits
into
that
square
hole.
G
D
I
appreciate
that
I
see
the
chain-link
fence
and
the
basketball
court
as
being
one
of
the
property's
hardships.
To
be
honest
with
you,
the
park
on
the
other
side
of
the
street
is
open,
but
on
that
side
of
the
street,
it's
it
that's
not
exactly
a
desirable
to
have
an
11-foot
chain-link
fence
and
a
basketball
court
that
is
heavily
used.
I
might
ask
just.
G
G
All
planning
on
being
there
for
a
long
time
that
was
but
but
I
mean
the
Zoning
Board
I
mean.
Who
knows
what
might
happen?
The
Zoning
Board
has
to
do
things
that
are
good
for
the
building
and
for
the
city
in
general,
even
if
we
weren't
living
there,
even
if
we
weren't
you
know
in
our
60s
having
accessible
units,
is
good
for
the
city
know.
G
And
having
having
outdoor
living
space
for
the
first-floor
apartment,
it
makes
it
a
more
valuable
property,
it
makes
it
a
nicer
property,
we,
the
zoning
and
preservation,
and
everybody
should
be
about,
and
it
and
the
and
the
general
comprehensive
plan
is
very
clear
on
that.
We
we
want
to
make
nicer
properties.
So
that's
what
that's!
What
we're
trying
to
do
right
and.
D
That
my
my
last
observation
and
and
again
I
I,
do
wish
that
we
could
have
heard
something
from
the
neighbor
to
the
north,
but
he
lives
in
Northbrook.
He
doesn't
live
there
right.
Well,
I
I
get
that.
But
he
might
you
know
God
forbid,
be
run
over
by
a
truck
tomorrow
and
then
someone
else
will
buy
the
property.
And
what
will
the
impact
of
this?
You
know
large.
F
F
D
G
G
G
G
E
H
G
K
Actually
marked
that
son
or
husband,
co-owner,
there's
actually
no
he's
not
recalling
at
the
moment
just
got
a
lot
on
her
mind
here,
but
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that
with
Veronica
and
I.
Some,
when
one
of
the
reasons
is
that
we
envisioned
this
outdoor
deck,
it's
on
the
second
floor
over
the
garage,
it
provides
a
screen
porch
and
a
nice-sized
outdoor
deck.
K
That
is
the
outdoor
living
space
for
an
Aging
in
Place
unit
right,
the
other
one
we
envision
a
deck
were
a
yard
or
something
with
whatever
we
can
agree
on
on
the
side.
But
again
that's
down
a
number
of
steps
from
a
door
on
the
south
side
of
the
first
floor,
so
that
the
idea
is
once
once
we
get
up
there.
K
K
E
And
one
more
question
that
is
boss,
a
question
and,
let's
say
thinking,
maybe
Donnelly
again
and
talk
to
us
so
I
see
that
you
had
revisions.
But
did
you
consider
something
more
like
in
the
thinking
of
the
zoning?
Ordinance
and
I
will
hint
about
this.
For
instance,
a
two-car
garage
one
parking
space
and
only
a
deck
on
top
of
it,
so
that
you
reduce
the
zoning
variances
to
only
one
which
is
the
distance
between
the
air
and
the
garage.
E
F
The
elevator
needs
to
be
at
North,
given
the
location
of
existing
doors
doorway
to
the
basement,
the
size
of
the
parking
spaces
as
the
lot
line
angles.
That
was
the
only
place
the
elevator
could
be
and
then
given
the
size
of
the
required
parking
spaces.
That
was
the
minimum
size
garage
for
three
cars
that
we
could
do
well.
F
E
F
E
F
E
The
building
the
building
coverage
will
be
in
the
zoning
ordinance
requirements.
If
you
have
only
two
car
garage
so
and
then
you
will
not
have
the
north
setback
problem
with
the
new
three-car
garage,
because
you
are
actually
extending
a
nonconformity.
If
you
have
only
a
parking
space
on
the
north
side
and
two-car
garage,
then
you
have
only
the
the
variance.
E
Elevator
well,
I
will
not
discuss
this
too
much
detail,
but
there
is.
There
are
options
that
I'm
a
kind
of
inclined
to
suggest
to
you,
because
it's
really
too
many
things
that
are
requested
now
and
we
have
debate
on
all
of
that
and
I
think
that
there
are
solutions
that
would
be
better
for
you
without
even
without
well
only
one
zoning
variance,
that's
my
opinion.
Once
again,
it's
pose
a
question
and
an
opinion
to.
B
B
E
E
A
Please
state
your
name
and
address
please
my.
L
Name
is
Veronica
Francisco
and
I
live
at
1580
Dewey
Avenue
in
Evanston,
I
live
and
live
in
and
owned
a
two
flat
in
the
fifth
Ward,
with
my
husband
and
our
22
year
old
you
saw
earlier
and
we
hope
to
live
in
an
co-owned.
The
property
in
question,
I'm,
a
small
business
owner
with
an
office,
a
few
blocks
away
on
Davis
Street.
My
mother
also
owns
a
small
business
in
Evanston
and
I
served
an
on
the
environmental
board.
L
My
father
was
on
the
district
202
school
board
and
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Board
for
ten
years
apiece,
and
he
now
serves
on
the
board
of
the
YMCA,
where
my
children
will
attend
preschool
next
fall.
I.
Tell
you
this
to
accentuate
how
deeply
rooted
we
are
in
this
community.
We
are
not
interested
in
flipping
the
property
for
profit,
but
I
rather
trying
to
create
the
type
of
multi-generational
housing
that
will
benefit
my
husband
and
me,
our
children
and
my
parents.
L
By
allowing
us
to
live
together
for
many
years,
we
will
act
as
good
stewards
of
the
building.
We
will
be
involved
in
the
neighborhood
and
the
Evanston
community
at
large
I
hope.
You
can
see
how
important
this
project
is
to
all
of
us
and
how
the
proposed
variances
can
make
a
possible.
Your
vote
of
approval
tonight
would
begin
a
new
chapter
of
our
lives.
Thank
you.
M
Good
evening
my
name
is
Richard
Gleason
and
I
live
at
1213,
Oak
and
first
of
all,
I.
Don't
know
how
you
do
this
every
week
every
month.
It's
really
great
that
you
all
take
the
time
like
this
I've
known,
mark
and
Noreen
for
a
long
time.
I
know
how
active
they've
been
in
evanston
Affairs
and
when
I
found
out,
they
were
thinking
of
buying
the
house
across
the
street,
from
where
my
wife,
Mary
and
I
have
lived
now
for
about
40
years.
I
was
really
delighted.
I've
talked
to
other
neighbors
on
our
block.
M
M
I
do
have
a
lot
of
familiarity
with
that
block
and
as
I
explained
in
my
letter,
my
great-grandfather,
a
man
named
Connor
and
his
brother
built
the
house
we
live
in
now.
I,
don't
think
that
house
complied
with
anything
of
the
current
code
and
when
we've
made
some
major
changes
to
it
about
20
years
ago.
M
You
know
we
came
before
the
various
committees
and
explained
that
I
understand
the
issues
about
distances
between
properties
and
the
questions
about
using
space
less
than
the
current
code,
but
I
think
there's
very
few
houses
on
that
block,
particularly
if
you,
if
you
ever
drive
down
the
alley
behind
where
the
Metz's
owned
the
home.
There
are
garages
three
and
four
feet
maximum
from,
especially
on
the
west
side,
from
the
west
side
of
that
alley.
That
runs
from
crane
to
dumpster.
M
M
Some
of
them,
surely
could
not
be
in
compliance
with
the
code
on
the
alley
itself.
I
know
that
the
space
between
our
house
at
12
13
in
the
house
right
next
door
to
us
at
12:17
that
house
at
12,
17,
isn't
even
wasn't
originally
part
of
the
neighborhood.
The
whole
house
was
moved
there
sometime
around
my
office,
1900
or
even
earlier,
but
there
isn't
even
five
feet
between
our
two
houses
and
you
know
we
were
allowed
to
put
up
a
deck
on
the
back
of
our
house.
M
Me
Mary
and
our
other
neighbors
there
we're
so
happy
somebody
liked
them.
The
Mets
are
going
to
be
there.
It
can
get
loud
at
night
because
but
not
because
kids
are
doing
anything
wrong.
They
like
to
use
the
basketball
court.
So
sometimes
after
it's
dark,
you
know,
you'll
have
to
call
the
the
police
ask
them
to
just
you
know:
ask
the
kids
to
leave
or
whatever,
but
I,
just
can't
think
of
a
better
family
and
a
better
plan
for
that
particular
structure.
I
know
you
were
asking
about.
M
Ordinances
were
passed,
I
just
don't
see
how
that
affects
that
person's
living
space
they're
where
they
want
their
garage
to
come
out
to
so
all
in
all
I'd,
say
I.
Think
I
mentioned
this.
In
my
letter
we
want
to
keep
the
the
appearance
of
the
neighborhood.
If
it's
in
a
historic
district,
my
grandparents
would
be
in
hysterics
if
someone
told
them
they
lived
in
an
historic
district
like
I
said
three
or
four
feet,
probably
between
my
husband
and
our
neighbor's
house
that
that
had
been
my
grandparents
and
I
hope.
M
You'll
look
with
favor
on
the
Metz's
application,
they're
very,
very
careful
people.
They
love
this
town,
they've
done
so
much
work
for
I
know.
Mark
has
worked
with
respect
to
the
pensions
I
think
it
was
the
fire
pensions.
Maybe
the
police
pensions
he's
been
on
the
school
board
for
years
and
years
and
his
daughter
talked
about
the
volunteer
work
he
does
now.
I
just
think
it
would
be
a
great
improvement
to
our
neighborhood
and
thanks
again
for
your
time.
Thank.
B
K
You
know
I
I'd
almost
like
to
ask
if
we
can
have
a
straw
poll
to
see
if
to
see,
if
we
should,
you
know
with
withdraw
and
make
changes
and
come
back.
In
other
words,
I,
don't
we're
in
a
position
financially
with
this
we're.
A
no
vote
is
not
something
we
can
accept.
You
know
we
got
to
find
a
way
to
get
to
a
yes
all
right.
So
I,
don't
know
if
you
do
straw
polls
and
kind
of
see
where
everybody's
at
that
would
help
us
engage
what
we
need
to
do
before
the
vote.
B
C
B
B
E
D
This
is
really
a
hard
one,
because
you
know
we
don't.
We
have
to
find
that
standards
are
met
I,
for
one
think
that
this
is
a
good
project.
I
think
that
that
this
is
more
conforming
with
the
general
plan,
then
it
would
be
it
what's
what's
more
important
is
that
it
conform
to
the
general
plan
or
that
it
conform
to
the
letter
of
the
standards
in
terms
of,
can
you
do
less?
We've
had
this
situation
before.
Where
is
this?
The
least
deviation
possible
and
I
have
always
wanted
to
add
to
that.
D
Is
this
the
least
deviation
possible,
exercising
good
building
practices
I
for
one
really
don't
understand
it
costs
more
to
build
a
three-car
Garage
than
it
does
to
build
a
two-car
garage
and
maintain
an
off
parking
space,
so
there
they're
extending
their
investment
to
a
greater
degree
in
this
property
to
do
what
I
think,
ultimately,
is
the
right
thing?
Why?
Why
are
you
going
if
you
need
to
have
an
elevator
in
the
north
side?
Why
are
you
going
to
just
leave
an
open
parking
space
in
order
to
comply
with
the
letter
of
the
zoning
ordinance?
D
With
regard
to
the
side
yard
setback
that
I
walked
by
that
Park,
you
know
twice
a
week
every
week
and
truly
I
see
the
park
as
being
one
of
the
hardships
that
make
the
the
deck
a
very
feasible
option,
and-
and
it's
true
that
in
that
little
space
that
where
nothing
would
grow
I,
just
don't
see
that
removing
the
deck
serves
the
community
or
this
homeowner
in
any
positive
way.
So.
C
E
The
things
that
I
don't
like,
let's
say
I-
will
say
it
this
way:
I,
don't
like
the
deck
with
the
sunroom
I
mean
I,
don't
like
the
sound
for
the
deck
is
okay,
but
the
sound
room
with
this
wall
that
extends
on
the
north
side.
It
is,
it
is
too
much.
We
have
entities
in
the
general
law
and
it's
an
Arizona
Cardinals.
We
should
not
extend
non-conformities,
so
you
have
over
there
small
side,
back
side,
setback
non-conforming
and
we're
extending
it.
E
E
You
have
some
other
things:
the
deck
on
the
ground
floor,
I,
would
say:
I'm.
Okay
with
that
and
I'm,
not
saying
this,
just
neglecting
the
zoning
ordinance.
Yes,
I
understand
you,
you
probably
need
it
so
I
would
say
this.
In
my
opinion,
it's
possible
to
pass
I
would
say
that
you
will
have
practical
difficulty
with
this
deck
because
you
have
only
one
foot
to
the
fence.
You
cannot
pass
even
with
a
lawnmower
over
there,
so
maybe
you
don't
see
it
now,
but
we
have
to
see
it
and
we
have
to
advise
you.
E
So
if
you
want
to
reduce
it
a
little
bit,
if
you
reduce
it
to
conform
to
the
zoning
ordinance,
you
will
be
left
with
5
feet
of
a
deck
and
because
currently
it's
9
feet
plus
1/2
the
fence.
So
if
you
reduce
it
4
feet,
salt,
you
have
the
5
feet
to
the
fence:
look
at
5
feet
of
a
deck.
If
it's
enough,
it's
ok!
If
you
think
it's
not
enough
I'm,
okay,
to
extend
it
further
to
the
south.
That's
fine
I
agree
with
the
opinions
of
your.
E
It's
it's
a
basketball
court,
probably
to
never
be
something
different
than
a
park
or
basketball
court.
So
that's
fine!
So
the
things
that
are
kind
of
a
trouble
me
it
is
the
deck
with
the
sunroom,
not
the
deck
itself,
the
sunroom,
because
it
really
well
we're
thinking
now
and
I
will
explain
a
little
bit.
I
I
may
be
too
long
in
my
explanation,
but
I
hurt
you
a
neighbor
and
I
have
to
tell
I
walked
today
the
alley.
So
your
neighbor
has
one
of
the
ugliest
buildings
in
Evanston.
It's
a
nightmare.
E
I
even
don't
know
who
allowed
this
building
to
be
built,
I
mean
the
extension
of
the
building.
It
is
something
that
I
would
not
recommend
anybody
to
look
at
so
I
I
would
not
say
that.
Currently
it
is
your
extension
will,
will
throw
a
shadow
or
will
impede
whatever
not
now,
but
imagine
that,
let's
say
ten
years
from
now,
there
is
another
owner.
E
He
wants
to
do
something
to
build
something
much
better
than
this
one,
and
then
your
new
wall
will
be
Wilier
trouble
for
this
new
owner.
That's
why
we
we
think
that
we
have
to
keep
the
intent
of
the
zoning
ordinance
and
not
extend
non-conformities.
Some
people
are
kind
of
a
laugh
at
me,
but
I
usually
say
we
have
to
think
about
50
years
ahead
and
if
we
think
about
it,
this
may
happen.
E
Somebody
may
come
want
to
make
a
nice
building
and
you
will
have
the
whole
south
exposure
covered
and
no
Sun
due
to
this
new
guy.
So
these
are
the
thoughts
that
I'm
sharing
now
with
with
everyone,
the
things
that
I
don't
like
and
the
things
that
I
think
they
may
pass.
So
after
that,
probably
the
discussion
after
we
open
the
record
again
and
I
appreciate
your
wish
to
invest
in
this
building
and
to
make
it
better
still.
We
have
to
think
about
many
other
things.
These
are
my
thoughts.
J
Would
echo
a
lot
of
what
Carol
said?
I
can
take
some
of
the
variations
requested
and
understands
the
need
for
them,
but
I
do
have
a
problem
with
the
bulk,
at
the
rear
of
the
site,
in
particular
that
north
wall
along
the
property
I,
notwithstanding
the
condition
of
the
property
to
the
north
I.
Don't
think
it's
unreasonable
to
think
that
that
would
change
in
the
future
and
that
creation
of
that
you
know
continuing
that.
Non-Conforming
setback
that
that
is
existing
in
your
building,
continuing
that
down
through
the
north
property
line.
J
D
Just
just
a
comment:
it
and-
and
I
may
be
mistaken
in
this,
but
Carol
you
you
can.
You
know
speak
to
this.
It
seems
to
me
that
one
of
the
things
that
we
have,
that
we
as
a
board
have
approved
many
times
is
additions
that
do
exactly
that.
They
continue
the
non-conformance
because
they
have
to
be
on
the
same,
the
same
plane
so
to
speak.
D
D
But
then,
if
it's
you
know
gravel
parking
lot
adjacent
to
it,
will
that
what
will
that
be
in
a
future
home?
Would
that
most
likely
be
parking?
Would
it
be
I
mean?
So
that
is
what
gives
me
some
pause
about
prohibiting
what
I
think
is
again
a
fairly
reasonable
addition,
but
I
do
understand
that
it's
not
the
least
deviation
well.
E
I
will
partially
answer
the
question
about
the
continuing
can
on
conformity.
Yes,
we
had
such
decisions
most
of
the
cases
it
was
when
a
second
floor
floor
was
proposed
and
we
agreed
to
continue
on
top
of
an
existing
wall,
mainly
because
of
structural
issues.
So
this
is
a
kind
of
a
practice
that
we
have
and
on
the
question,
what
could
be
on
this
gravel
area?
E
Imagine
that
this
is
a
coach
house,
for
instance,
in
the
future,
it's
very
possible
that
somebody
will
build
a
coach
house
on
this
gravel
area
and
actually
the
red
building
that
is
first
on
the
second
row.
I
believe
this
was
allowed
as
a
coach
house,
because
it
looked
like
it
was
made
as
a
culture.
So
you
can
see
that
it
is
a
building
that
has
windows
and
not
only
no.
So
once
again,
it
could
be
anything.
The
thing
is
still
the
bulk
and
why
we
continue
a
nonconformity
just.
C
I
A
So
how
would
you
bring
the
elevator
without
actually
bulking
out
that
area
regardless
and
then
I
mean
right
now,
even
if
you
bring
out
the
the
garage
area
towards
the
alley,
there's
really
no
other
way
to
get
that
in
there
not
conforming
right
now,
as
it
is,
there's
no
difference
between
bringing
that
bulk
out
and
and
having
just
you
know
the
one
gravel
parking
space
so
for
me,
I
mean
I'm
in
favor
of
the
project,
I
think
there's.
It
was
well
thought
out
and.
B
With
that,
it
sounds
by
my
calculation
that
we
do
not
have
for
concurrent
votes
either
way,
which
means
a
decision
will
not
be
reached
tonight
regardless.
So
you
can
continue
on
as
is
and
have
the
vote,
and
then
it
would
continue
to
the
next
meeting.
Just
for
the
two
absent
members
to
review
the
video
and
the
minutes
and
then
make
their
vote,
the
testimony
would
be
closed.
K
B
K
K
About
the
side
wall
of
the
garage
where
you
have
concerns
of
the
ball
cause
of
the
screen
porch.
So
in
order
to
have
that
elevator
and
accessibility
from
the
rear
of
our
house
out
onto
the
deck
that
garage
is
gonna,
be
pretty
tall,
it's
not
gonna,
be
it's
not
going
to
be
a
short
garage
or
normal
garage
to
meet
how
many
feet,
fourteen
twelve
or
fourteen
feet
up
right
to
the
roof
to
the
flat
roof
right
to
the
word.
The
deck
would
be
all
right,
so
it's
already
kind
of
high
right
without
the
screen
porch.
K
Now,
on
top
of
that,
if
you're,
okay
with
a
deck
and
then
you're
gonna,
have
probably
a
42
inch
railing
when
you're
that
high
I
don't
know
what
the
code
is,
but
I
wouldn't
want
any
less
than
that
I'm
kind
of
tall
I
don't
want
to
feel
like
I'm
going
to
pitch
over
it.
So
now
you're
up
another
42
inches
and
the
difference
between
that
and
then
just
going
up
on
a
screen
porch,
especially
since
that
wall
is
going
to
be
full
of
screens
where
light
will
pass
through.

Fell
property
owner
applies
for
major
zoning
relief
to
permit
use
of
a
non-conforming
dwelling
unit
in
the
r5
general
residential
district
and
OC
SC
Central
Street
corridor
overlay
district,
the
owner
requests
providing
for
off

parking
spaces
where
seven
are
required.

table
16
B.
The
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
makes
a
recommendation
to
City
Council
the
determining
body
for
this
case.
N
N
And
then
recently
we
found
out
that
it
was
not
illegal
dwelling
and
when
I
went
to
the
building
department
or
who
was
owning
to
do
what
I
would
have
to
do
to
make
the
legal
owing
they
told
me
that
I
did
not
currently
have
enough
parking
spaces
that
I
only
provided
for
parking
spaces
and
based
on
them
on
bedrooms
in
the
building.
We
would
need
seven
to
be
honest
with
you.
We
really
by
all
practical
purposes.
N
We
have
five
parking
spaces
because
there's
a
three-car
garage
and
next
to
it,
there's
a
driveway
that
by
the
survey
only
has
14
feet.
But
when
you
measure
it
it's
a
little
over
17
regardless
we
can
easily
park
two
cars
there.
So
I
considered
five
parking
spaces,
but
regardless
of
that,
there
was
only
four
of
parking
spaces
that
we
use
in
the
building
between
my
wife
and
I,
our
and
our
tenants,
and
so
whether
or
not
you
grant
me
this
variance
nothing's
gonna
change.
We're
still
only
going
to
part
the
four
cars.
N
The
reason
why
we
need
to
make
this
a
legal
dwelling
is
that,
should
we
have
to
remove
it,
the
it
would
be
a
major
inconvenience
to
us.
We've
used
the
apartment
at
various
times
for
our
children
and
and
our
grandchild
to
come
visit,
and,
most
recently,
we've
been
using
it
for
an
adult
child
of
ours
who
has
special
needs
and
probably
has
had
difficulty
living
on
his
own
again.
N
Nothing
would
change
if
you
give
us
experience
we're
not
going
to
build
anything,
we're
not
going
to
park
any
more
cars
than
we
do.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
was
told
that
the
previous
meeting
I
was
at
that
had
our
address.
Had
we've
been
a
2004
Harrison,
we
would
only
need
to
provide
for
parking
spaces
and
truthfully
for
our
tenants,
were
you
know,
blocked
from
the
Northwestern
and
there's
a
bus
right
on
Green
Bay
Road.
So
you
know
I,
don't
I!
D
N
N
We
went
in
2010
to
do
some
remodeling
and
we
weren't
told
that
it
was
illegal
to
own
and
if
it
it
couldn't
have
been,
I
probably
would
not
have
put
it
in.
You
know
not
not
realizing
that
we
would
have
to
take
it
out,
but
it
it's
it's
a
it's.
You
know
it's
one
of
those
things
that
I
feel
like
I
kind
of
got
caught
for
something
that
I
had
the
I
I
totally
want
to
legitimize
I've.
Had
a
couple
of
neighbors.
N
A
E
E
Yes,
it
is
part
two,
you
have
a
small
problem
with
the
garbage
cans
because
they
are
on
the
way
of
the
parking.
The
second
vehicle,
but
I
still
believe
you
can
put
the
two
cars
I
personally
see
the
reason
that
you're
applying
for
this
variance
and,
frankly,
I'm
not
so
much
concerned
about
it.
It
is
you
have
difficulties
parking
on
the
street.
The
street
is
usually
busy
with
parked
vehicles,
but
once
again
for
your
type
of
purpose,
it
frankly
I,
don't
see
a
problem.
That's
my
opinion.
Correct.
D
N
N
J
N
And
occasionally
we
parked
five
there
too,
but
there
were
never
yeah
I
mean
we
even
have
enough
room
that
we
could.
If
we
needed
to
pull
behind.
We
could
really
perk
a
lot
of
cars
because
you
parking
from
the
garage
and
the
it's
a
deep
driveway.
You
could
park
two
cars
or,
but
we
don't
you
know,
sometimes
the
delivery
person
or
whatever
will
a
workmen,
because
there's
an
we
don't
want
them
to
park
on
the
street
will
have
them
park
in
our
driveway
during
the
day.

B
O
Thank
you.
My
name
is
john
mark
representing
the
second
Church
of
Christ
Scientist,
and
we're
asking
for
approval
of
a
special
use.
Permit.
Just
a
change
of
use.
We're
going
to
have
the
building
is
going
to
have
the
same
footprint
that
it
currently
has.
So
there
won't
be
any
new
additions
or
extensions
of
the
building.
There'll
be
a
change
of
use
from
a
medical
building
for
doctors
and
they
meet
with
their
patients
there
and
that
hasn't
been
working
out.
O
The
building
is
located
immediately
to
the
east
of
the
Arts
Center
and
I'm,
going
to
ask
two
people
to
testify:
one
of
the
the
treasurer
of
the
Christian
Science
church,
the
second
church
and
the
architect
who's.
Making
the
design
plans
the
the
standards
for
special
use,
which
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with.
O
You'll
hear
testimony
about
that
and
then
on
page
eleven,
a
land
use
in
a
reference,
that's
more
specifically
to
institutions
it
states,
the
growth
and
evolution
of
Evanston's
institutions
should
be
supported
so
long
as
the
growth
does
not
have
an
adverse
impact
upon
the
neighboring
residentially
zoned
adjacent,
neighborhoods,
I'm,
not
sure
I.
Read
that
correctly
adverse
impact
upon
the
residentially
zoned
adjacent
neighborhoods,
the
property
is
on
central
street.
So
it
does
not
about
any
residential
neighborhoods,
except
perhaps
in
the
back
behind
in
the
alley.
P
Well,
thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening,
I'm
Elizabeth
Drake
I'm,
the
current
treasurer
of
the
second
Church
of
Christ
Scientist
in
Evanston,
and
the
sort
of
our
little
story
is
that
we're
looking
where
a
church
has
been
in
Evanston
for
over
70
years.
Currently
our
building
unheard
avenues
for
sale
and
we're
looking
to
streamline
to
maintain
easily
maintained
place
of
worship
with
no
stairs
a
parking
lot
and
a
Christian
bookstore
on
the
street
side.
So
we've
identified
1713
as
a
building
that
would
allow
us
to
streamline
two
buildings
into
one.
P
P
Q
Batteries,
my
name
is
Gary
shoemaker
I'm,
the
architect,
who's
been
engaged
by
the
church
to
perform
both
feasibility
study
and
do
some
of
the
zoning
analysis.
I.
Think
we've
we've
provided
a
few
plans
which
I
think
you've
all
seen
in
your
packets.
Already
we
began
working
with
the
church
early
to
determine
whether
or
not
this
was
a
good
fit
for
them.
The
central
street
business
district
in
this
overlay
is
a
good
opportunity
for
this
church.
The
the
benefit
to
the
community
is
certainly
the
reading
room.
The
access
to
it
is
free.
It's
also.
Q
It
also
remains
at
retail
storefront.
The
books
in
there
are
for
sale,
if
not
just
browsing.
So
what
we've?
What
we've
done
is
made
the
majority
of
the
front
glass,
entryway
and
glass
display
storefronts.
So
this
is
also
in
keeping
with
with
the
larger
plan
for
Central,
Street
and
development
of
the
pedestrian
scale
and
access
along
that.
Q
Q
There
have
been
discussions
about
about
how
the
community
would
be
able
to
use
some
of
the
community
spaces
in
this
we're
early
in
those
discussions,
but
the
multiple,
the
multiple
uses,
this
building
would
be
retail,
as
well
as
the
religious
use,
I
think
in
your
packet.
It's
quite
clear
that
the
services
here
are
one
service
on
Sunday
and
one
evening
service
on
Wednesday,
the
bookstores
staffed
by
one
staff
member,
whether
it's
a
volunteer
or
or
a
librarian
by
the
church
they
average
about
five
customers
or
readers
through
the
course
of
the
day.
Q
So
it
is
an
active
storefront.
It's
we
do
see
pedestrian
traffic
in
and
out
of
the
building.
We
would
expect
because
of
the
density
of
residential
apartments
and
the
proximity
to
that
that
there
might
be
more
traffic
as
though,
as
the
reading-room
takes
root.
So
the
I
think,
as
John
mentioned,
where
we
are
not
planning
to
expand
the
footprint
of
this
building.
Q
There's
no
reason
to
we
would
provide,
as
we
discussed
with
dapper,
we
provide
covered
entrances
in
the
rear,
which
don't
currently
exist,
reconfigure
a
little
bit
of
the
parking
in
order
to
achieve
a
cleaner
drop-off
area.
Some
of
the
congregants
will
be
will
be
aging
and
we
want
to
make
that
a
an
easier
space
for
them
to
get
in
and
out
of,
it
is
a
single
floor.
There
are
no
steps,
it's
conducive
to
being
a
doctor's
office.
It
would
be
more
conducive
as
a
retail
space
in
a
sanctuary
we
believe
we
will.
Q
We
will
come
back
to
dapper
into
the
appearance
review
committee
to
discuss
alterations
to
the
exterior.
We
do
intend
to
open
that
storefront
up,
creating
more
glass
and
more
views
in
and
out
of
it,
which
would
keep
it
more
in
line
with
the
ideas
behind
the
overlay
district
than
the
retail
shopping
districts.
Q
H
E
H
Q
Q
E
Q
This
at
this
point,
the
church
is
in
negotiation
to
purchase
the
building
and
we
are
seeking
a
special
use
allowance.
We
do
need
to
come
back
through
the
process
for
zoning
in
order
to
determine
exactly
how
much
parking
is
required
it.
It
would
be
an
occupancy
issue,
so
it
wouldn't
necessarily
be
the
number
of
congregants
it
would
be
based
on
the
square
footage
that
would
determine
our
required
parking
and
we
haven't
gotten
that
far
yet
so.
B
B
It's
an
existing
building.
There
is
no
new
parking
requirement;
whatever
is
there
is.
Is
there
as
far
as
the
requirement
goes,
whether
that
is
enough
parking
on
the
property
for
the
use
as
part
of
what
the
special
uses
for,
and
it
might
help?
If
you
clarify
how
much
parking
you
have
at
your
current
location
and
how
much
is
used
during
services.
H
P
D
D
Q
In
the
entire
initial
conversations
with
them,
the
current
currently
40
is
the
congregation
and
that's
higher
holidays
and
heavier
attendance
in
most
of
those
come
as
pairs
or
as
families.
So
we're
not
looking
for
40
parking
spaces
for
40
congregants.
The
average,
as
we
discussed
before,
is
probably
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
20,
so
the
overflow
might
be
three
or
four
cars
for
Sunday,
assuming
that
pokes
don't
take
advantage
of
public
transit
or
carpooling
or
walking
if
they're
closer
to
the
building
than.
Q
Q
J
Q
Not
striped
very
well
right
now,
and
they
don't
they
don't
currently
own
the
building.
At
one
point,
at
one
point
we
thought
it
was
20
spaces.
I,
don't
think
it
is
we've
walked.
It
I
know
that
at
dapper
we
also
had
a
discussion.
I
think
I
forget
who
brought
this
up
that
there's
currently
no
barrier
between
the
backside
of
that
parking
lot
in
the
alley,
and
we
agreed
that
that's
probably
something
that
needs
to
be
implemented.
When
we
get
to
that
stage
so
figuring
out
the
drop-off
configuration
and
the
maximum
remember
spots.
J
H
Q
Think
so,
yeah
they're,
also
in
one
of
the
reasons
for
our
uncertainty
about
this,
is
there
are
a
couple
of
medical
mechanical
equipment,
there's
equipment
in
the
in
the
parking
lot
now
that
will
be
removed
when
the
lab
facilities
are
taken
away,
whether
we
get
new
spaces
or
just
turnaround
or
handicapped
spaces,
we're
unclear
at
this
point.
Our
goal
will
be
maximize
the
parking,
but
we
certainly
want
to
be
able
to
provide
a
useable
drop-off
area,
that's
adjacent
to
the
to
the
accessible
entrance
in
the
back.
If.
B
H
O
O
O
If
you've
had
a
chance
to
read
our
application,
in
addition
to
being
an
overlay
zoning
district,
it's
also
an
overlay
legal
district,
because
there
are
special
considerations
for
religious
assemblies
that
apply
those
that
are
set
out
in
the
brief.
So
we
would
ask
you
to
make
this
recommendation
of
approval
of
a
special
special
use
subject
to
the
working
out
of
the
particular.
You
said
you
need
to
come
back
on
the
parking.
O
So
if
you
could
make
the
recommendation
to
the
City
Council,
if
you
would
approve
this
as
a
recommendation,
that's
what
we're
asking
for
subject
to
whatever
parking
confirmation
needs
to
be
made
by
staff
that
this
is
in
compliance.
I.
Think
I.
Think
the
issue
isn't
fixed
seating.
It's
it
maybe
square
footage
because
the
the
seating
may
or
may
not
be
fixed,
so
that
will
have
to
be
finalized
and
approved,
but
in
either
any
event.
I,
don't
see
it
as
a
major
problem.
O
C
A
R
My
name
is
John
Weinberger
I
live
at
17,
22
Chancellor
Street
I
have
no
objection.
One
comment
to
the
project.
A
Chancellor
Street
is
parallel
to
central.
It's
one,
one
Street
to
the
north,
our
garage
and
our
back
yard
is
on
the
alley
Oh,
along
with
Central
Street,
where
there,
where
the
parking
will
be
on
Northwestern
football
Saturdays.
We
are
besieged
by
tailgate
parties
in
the
in
the
Arts
Center
parking
lot,
and
and
also
the
the
medical
building.
R
O
D
So
I,
obviously
in
terms
of
the
modifications
to
the
building
they'll,
have
to
go
through
damper
and
come
back
for
that.
We're
just
concerned
with
the
special
use,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
this
is
a
good
location
for
this.
They
already
have
a
reading
room
on
Central
Street,
so
this
will
just
be
replacing
the
one
that
they
have
there
and
combining
their
facilities,
which
seems
to
me
to
be
a
good
use
for
this
location.
E
A
For
the
cba
to
recommend
that
City
Council
grant
a
special
use,
does
he
be
a
must
find
the
proposed
special
use?
A
is
one
of
the
listed
special
uses
for
the
zoning
district
in
which
the
property
lies.
The
standard
has
been
met.
Religious
institution
is
a
listed
special,
active
ground-floor
use
for
the
B
1,
a
sub
areas
of
the
Central
Street
corridor
overlay
district
B.
It
complies
with
the
purposes
and
the
policies
of
the
comprehensive
general
plan
and
the
zoning
ordinance.
The
standard
has
been
met.
A
The
use
is
compliant
with
the
zoning
ordinance
and
the
comprehensive
general
plan
as
a
project
promotes
growth
and
adaptive
use
of
existing
commercial
structures.
C
does
not
cause
a
negative
cumulative
effect
in
combination
with
existing
special
uses
or,
as
a
category
of
land
use,
the
standard
has
been
met.
The
proposal
is
complementary
to
nearby
commercial
and
residential
uses,
and
the
proposal
will
allow
the
applicant
to
vacate
and
duplicate
space
at
1936
Central
Street.
Eliminating
the
potential
for
a
negative
cumulative
effect
d
does
not
interfere
with
with
or
diminish
the
value
of
property
in
the
neighborhood.
A
The
standard
has
been
met.
The
proposed
use
will
occupy
an
otherwise
vacant
building
and
provide
significant
facade
alterations
intended
to
activate
the
pedestrian
frontage
along
Central
Street
II.
It
is
adequately
served
by
public
facilities
and
services.
This
standard
has
been
met.
The
building
is
served
by
adequate
sidewalks
streets
in
close
proximity
to
the
to
public
transportation.
F
does
not
cause
undue
traffic
congestion.
The
standard
has
been
met.
A
The
subject
property
is
served
by
a
large
alley,
accessible
parking
lot
and
nearby
public
transportation
options
which
are
born
than
suitable
for
the
limited
program
offering
and
attendance
estimates
proposed
for
the
use.
G
preserves
significant
historical
and
architectural
resources
is
not
applicable
and
H.
The
it
preserves
significant
natural
and
environmental
resources,
and
that's
also
not
applicable
and
I
complies
with
all
other
applicable
regulations.
This
standard
has
been
met.
The
project
complies
with
all
other
applicable
regulations
to
move
forward
with
the
next
steps
in
this
special
use
process
can
I
get
a
motion.
D
D
B
D
Q
Q
C
D
That
that
we
move
that
that
they,
the
recommendation
for
approval,
is
subject
to
the
church,
is
agreeing
to
not
allow
tailgating.
Notwithstanding
that
they
might
elect
to
rent
the
parking
spaces
in
the
lot
for
special
events
at
Northwestern
that
they
would
prohibit
those
Parkers
from
tailgating
Anila.
With.
H
H
S
Evening
my
name
is
Charles,
happy
I
am
the
owner
of
25
10,
Green,
Bay
Road,
and,
if
I
thought
for
one
minute
that
your
vote
was
gonna,
be
favorably
influenced
by
pictures
of
my
grandchildren,
I
could
have
kept
it
here
all
night.
However,
these
gentlemen,
we've
worked
all
day
today
and
these
gentlemen
opened
their
gym
at
5
a.m.
so
I'll
get
right
to
it.
I
brought
with
me
tonight
to
owners
of
born
to
win
fitness,
jason,
victor
and
lt.
They
opened
the
gym
at
5:00
a.m.
so
I
will
make
my
presentation
quick.
We
are
currently.
S
The
concept
is
an
integrative
workout.
We
integrate
boxing
with
cardio
weight,
training,
martial
arts
self-defense
all
for
a
goal
of
mental
well-being.
We
currently
are
operating
on
1
to
1
training
at
the
facility
at
20,
five
ten,
which
we
built
out
as
a
gymnasium.
We
are
going
with
the
program
about
forty
minutes
long
for
exercise
program.
The
goal
here
this
evening
is
to
meet
a
growing
demand
and
to
grow
the
business,
which
is
the
business
I'm
in
to
accommodate
groups
of
four
to
six
people
to
expand
the
training
and
the
workout
that
these
gentlemen
perform.
S
We
have
certified
experienced
trainers
in
all
these
arts
when
I
purchased
25-10.
Several
months
ago.
It
was
one
of
eight
vacant
buildings
in
within
a
half-mile
radius,
going
up
Green
Bay
Road
at
Central,
and
so
our
goal
is
to
bring
some
economic
life
to
the
neighborhood.
I
have
owned
buildings
in
all
three
major
business
districts
in
Evanston
for
over
45
years.
So
I
am
acutely
aware
that
this
is
more
of
a
parking
committee
than
it
is
a
zoning
committee
and
we're
prepared
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
regarding
parking.
But
Savannah
and
myself.
S
I
was
a
bit
proactive.
I
purchased
the
building
of
2016
central
street,
which
were
from
which
I
bought
four
finches
I,
don't
know.
If
any
of
you
know,
Peggy
at
four
finches.
She
was
operating
out
of
an
alley.
A
dumpster
street
off
the
street
and
I
brought
Peggy
up
to
two
Central
Street,
which
neighbors
are
very
scold
about
the
point
here
being
is
that
there
are
13
additional
parking
spaces
behind
2016
central,
in
addition
to
the
ten
that
I
have
in
front
of
25
10
Green
Bay
Road
mr.
S
Feld
out
that
there's
ample
parking
on
Harrison,
and
we
know
that
there's
ample
parking
on
Lincoln
to
the
south,
so
I
believe
that,
and
these
gentlemen
also
believes
that
their
parking
for
clients
to
make
it
easier
to
come
in
that
they
have
ample
parking
or
to
grow.
The
business
I
would
also
say
that
miss
niden
at
the
design
review
pointed
out
that
most
people
will
work
out,
a
facility
which
is
a
close
distance
proximity
to
their
they
live
or
where
they
work.
S
The
bulk
of
our
clients
that
come
in
for
exercise
and
workout
and
training
actually
all
walk
there
for
the
most
part
anyway,
living
within
that
half-mile
radius,
central
central
street
and
west
of
Green
Bay.
The
last
thing
I
would
say
is
that
we've
been
in
operation
for
three
months.
We
even
though
we're
operating
under
two
building
permits
to
expand
offices
in
the
in
the
area.
We
have
experienced
no
parking
problems,
I
personally,
I'm
the
building,
receptionist
and
parking
monitor,
and
so
we've
see
to
it
that
there's
ample
parking
for
our
clients
to
come
in.
S
S
S
Old
park
on
either
Lincoln
well
starting
at
5
o'clock,
there
isn't
really
a
whole
demand
for
parking,
so
the
early
trainers
that
get
there
like
ltwill
Park
it
actually
in
front
of
the
building,
so
the
they're
open
from
it's
probably
point
to
sell
to
you,
but
the
gym
is
open
at
5:00
a.m.
and
runs
generally
to
about
1
or
2.
After
that,
you,
the
last
time
I
was
in
front
of
your
committee-
was
for
a
special
use
permit
for
lock
Chicago,
which
is
the
other
anchor
tenant
in
the
building.
They
started.
5:00
p.m.
S
A
A
S
S
S
Are
other
tenants
that
are
within
the
building?
Yes,
are
they
offices
yeah,
so
shape?
Log
is
a
property
company
that
some
of
you
are
familiar
with
there?
Could
they
have
a
display
area
for
the
product
that
they
sell
going
around
then
I
have
four
tenants
that
came
with
me
from
820
Davis
Street
that
have
been
tenants
of
mine
between
10
and
15
years.
Jonathan
booth
lives
on
oaring
ttan.
Most
of
them
are
north
east
or
north
west
Evanston
Jonathan
booth
walks
to
work
till
11:00
good
who's.
S
S
It's
kind
of
a
breakout
sex.
We
have
reception
area,
shared
reception
area,
sofa.
You
can
into
update
your
Instagram
account,
which
is
what
they
do
now.
So
that's
generally,
it's
a
shared
reception
area,
especially
for
lock
Chicago,
who
will
kind
of
debrief
their
client
incident
with
them
on
instructions.
Thing
like
that.
It's
wide
open
so.
E
S
E
E
I
S
To
go
to
when
you
review
I
think
my
I
believe
that
I
understood
that
they
want
to
go
back
in
a
year
to
see
if
there
were
any
unusual
demands
on
the
parking
and
I,
because
I
told
them
I'm
bounded
by
Stewart
Rogers,
photography,
studio
on
the
south
and
the
FedEx
building
on
the
on
the
north
and
the
biggest
violators
of
my
parking
lot.
There
are
25.
S
10
are
the
people
who
duck
in
for
a
10
minute
photo
session
and
a
20
minute
FedEx
session,
so
I'm
constantly
diverting
traffic,
so
I
did
I
explained
to
them.
That
will
be
monitoring
the
traffic,
but
I
certainly
didn't
want
to
be
penalized
for
the
success
of
the
gym
by
the
fact
that
other
merchants
are
using
my
parking
lot.
S
D
D
B
Not
have
to
include
to
include
that
condition,
I
think
the
the
point
of
dapper
was,
for
instance,
what,
if
there's
loud
music,
that
is
bothering
the
surrounding
residences
that
are
across
the
alley
or
what?
If
there
is
a
significant
parking
issue,
and
those
are
things
that
then
could
be
readjust
by
heading
back
to
dapper,
I,
don't
think
we're
particularly
looking
to
try
to
kick
a
business
out.
It's
just.
How
do
we
mitigate
any
impacts
on
adjacent
properties?
D
S
S

H
I
J
You're
not
expanding
this
amount
of
space
within
the
building
that
you're
not
expanding
your
square
there,
it's
okay
and
when
you
do
as
I
understand
it,
you
do
like
more
of
a
one-on-one
training
now
and
you're,
proposing
to
expand
to
more
of
a
small
group
training.
So
when
you
do
one-on-one
training
things
like
Muffy's
point
about
the
music,
dr
you
using
music,
now
so
I
mean
what
kind
of
changes
should
we
expect,
as
you
evolve
to
this
small
group,
training.
S
Where
the
closets
are
alike-
and
this
would
be
the
east
end
of
the
gym,
there's
a
the
middle
section
is
a
garage
door,
and
so
then
the
gym
is
surrounded
by
actual
adults
who
are
in
a
working
office
atmosphere.
So
we're
conscious
of
the
music.
But
the
point
is:
if
anybody's
ever
been
in
the
bility,
it
is
totally
soundproof
with
the
garage
door
down
and
so
and
we're
obviously
sensitive.
The
other
tenants
in
the
building
who
are
they're
working
on
a
daily
basis,
running
a
business
are
conscientious.
Well,
I.
S
D
I
J
Yeah
I
don't
have
an
objection
either.
I
think
my
only
concerns
are
about
the
music
and
I
think
less
so
about
your
other
tenants
in
the
space,
because
you
as
the
property
owner
will
you
know
moderate
that
and
want
to
make
the
best
use
of
your
tenant
mix.
I'm
thinking
more
of
the
neighbors
directly
to
the
rear
of
your
property
across
the
alley
line,
so
I
also
would
be
in
support
for
the
reevaluation
and
one
year
the.
H
C
A
Can
I,
let
me
read
the
standards
for
the
CBA
to
recommend
that
City
Council
grant
a
special
use.
The
CBA
must
find
that
the
proposed
special
use-
a
is
one
of
the
listed
you
special
uses
for
the
zoning
district
in
which
the
property
lies.
This
standard
has
been
met,
commercial
indoor,
recreation
facilities
are
allowed
under
the
special
use
section
for
the
b1.
A
business
district
B
complies
with
the
purposes
and
the
policies
of
the
comprehensive
general
plan
and
the
zoning
ordinance.
The
standard
has
been
met.
A
The
uses
the
use
is
compliant
with
the
zoning
ordinance
and
the
comprehensive
general
plan,
because
the
project
promotes
growth
and
adaptive
use
of
existing
commercial
structures.
C
does
not
cause
a
negative
cumulative
effect
in
combination
with
existing
special
uses
or
as
a
category
of
land
use.
This
standard
has
been
met.
The
proposed
commercial
indoor,
recreation
facilities,
complementary
to
nearby
commercial
uses
and
peak
hours
are
not
anticipated
to
overlap
with
nearby
special
uses.
D
does
not
interfere
with
or
diminish
the
value
of
a
property
in
the
neighborhood.
The
standard
has
been
met.
A
The
proposed
business
will
occupy
an
otherwise
vacant
portion
of
an
existing
commercial
space.
The
proposed
use
will
not
generate
an
abundance
of
noise,
as
the
space
is
completely
enclosed.
E
is
adequately
served
by
public
facilities
and
services.
The
standard
has
been
met.
The
building
is
served
by
adequate
sidewalks
streets
in
close
proximity
to
public
transportation.
F
does
not
cause
undue
traffic
congestion.
This
standard
has
been
met.
A
The
proposed
use
for
the
proposed
use
will
not
generate
parking
and
traffic
issues
due
to
non-overlapping
peak
hours
of
operation
during
weekdays
abundant
weekend
parking
is
approximate
approximate,
commuter,
Lots
and
nearby
public
transportation
options.
G
significant
historical
and
architectural
resources
is
not
applicable,
preserves
significant
natural
and
environmental
resources.
That's
also
not
applicable
and
I
complies
with
all
other
applicable
regulations.
This
standard
has
been
met.
The
project
complies
with
all
other
applicable
regulations
to
move
forward
with
the
next
steps
in
the
special
use
process.
With
that
can
I
get
a
motion.

And
let's
see
our
regularly
scheduled
meeting
for
December
17th
is
cancelled,
so
this
was
our
last
meeting
of
the
year.
We
will
likely
have
three
cases
for
January
21st
and
we
are
meeting
in
G
300,
we'll
send
out
a
reminder
for
that.
But
everybody
have
a
great
holiday
season
and
we
will
see
you
next
year.
