Devon Avenue Streetscape
Chairman Persino introduced the topic of the Devon Avenue Streetscape, inviting
Manager Cook to provide background on the issue. Manager Cook briefly discussed the
subject at hand, then introduced Village Engineer James Amelio, as well as Bryan Luke
of Christopher B. Burke Engineers Ltd. and Josephine Bellalta of Altamanu Inc.
Mr. Amelio began his presentation by discussing its overview and purpose, which was to
solicit the Commission’s input on the geometry, access management, streetscape palette,
and site furnishings along the Devon Avenue corridor. He then moved on to the timeline
of the project, beginning with the initial study done by the Urban Land Insitute, followed
by the establishment of the Devon-Lincoln TIF District. He then noted the approval of a
Surface Transportation Program (STP) grant fromo the North Shore Council of Mayors.
Manager Wiberg asked if the STP grant covered 80% of the costs, to which Mr. Amelio
responded that it covered 70% of the costs, and the remaining 30% will be split between
the Village and the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT). Manager Wiberg
noted that the Village has to pay a very minimal portion of the actual cost, the funds for
which come directly from the TIF District. Discussion then ensued on the actual costs of
the project.
Mr. Amelio then moved on to the current status of the project, indicating that the Phase I
engineering and design process has commenced as of 2016, with the concept of the plan
updated per EDC recommendations from the July 2015 meeting. He also noted that a
meeting was held with the Federal Highway Authority on February 9, 2016, and that the
current phase of the process involves soliciting statekholder input. He then moved on to
the breakdown of the funding sources, noting that the total project cost would be $4.5
million. $3.2 million (or 70%) of the cost would come directly from the aforementioned
STP grant, and the remaining $1.3 million would be split between the Village and CDOT,
at $650,000 each. Finally, he presented the remaining timeline of the project, with Phase I
and Phase II design processes occuring through 2016 and 2017, and construction
beginning 2018.
Mr. Amelio then passed the presentation to Bryan Luke, who began discussing the
geometry and access management of the corridor. Mr. Luke indicated that the current
plans as presented were a working start, and that they would be updated pending
2
stakeholder feedback. Modifications of the plan, he said, would be presented to the
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for final comments and revisions. He
indicated that it would be ideal for Phase I and Phase II design processes to be complete
by July 2016 in order for construction to begin in 2018, based off IDOT’s scheduling.
Mr. Luke then laid out the components of geometry and access management, which
included parking, medians, crosswalks, and streets and driveways changing to right-inright-out. He indicated that the amount of on-street parking will be unchanged in the
design, but some individual properties may see a net gain or loss of parking spaces on the
street in front of them due to the addition of bump-outs and crosswalks. He also noted
that the current concept does not include additional parking on any side streets. Moving
on to medians, Mr. Luke indicated that there will be a landscape median as well as
shorter turning lanes for side street access. He then discussed the crosswalks included in
the concept plan, with one being located at Kimball Avenue and another located at St.
Louis Avenue. He indicated that the crosswalk at Kimball has been agreed upon by most
stakeholders because of its location in front of the post office on the Chicago side.
Finally, he moved on to the side streets and driveways changing to right-in-right-out due
to the addition of a median on Devon Avenue. Discussion ensued regarding traffic on
side streets. Cross-sections of the existing conditions and proposed changes were then
presented to the Commission.
Mr. Luke turned the presentation to Ms. Bellalta to discuss the streetscape palette and site
furnishings along Devon Avenue. She indicated that the proposed cross-section was very
similar to the corridor on the Chicago side of the North Shore Channel, which includes
several designs meant to slow the flow of traffic and improve pedestrian infrastructure,
which she indicated the western corridor of Devon could use. She also noted that the
design process requires coordination between two different communities with different
established design palettes. For example, Ms. Bellalta said, the streetlights for both
communities are different, though similar enough to allow both communities to have
their own streetlights.
Chairman Persino inquired whether the streetlights would include “piggybacks” for
sidewalk lighting, and expressed his desire for those to be included on the Lincolnwood
side in order to better light the sidewalk and businesses along the corridor at night. Mr.
Luke and Ms. Bellalta both indicated that these were not included in the plans, but they
would be open to adding them. Commissioner Levine then inquired about the distance
between streetlights along the corridor. Mr. Luke responded, saying that they would be
roughly 160 feet apart, which Ms. Bellalta indicated would be too far apart for
pedestrians. She then suggested adding pedestrian-scale poles between each streetlight in
order to better light the sidewalk. Discussion ensued on the streetlights in the corridor.
3
Ms. Bellalta moved on to discuss the continuity of design from the eastern side of the
corridor, across the North Shore Channel, into the western side through Lincolnwood.
She presented the recently-completed designs of the Chicago corridor, which included
black steel benches, bike racks that are bolted (rather than implanted), and concrete
pavers of varying shades of brown that match the buildings along the corridor. Chairman
Persino inquired whether the furnishings were made from steel due to his concerns about
rusting. Ms. Bellalta indicated that they are all steel but power-coated to prevent rust.
Chairman Persino responded by saying that power-coated furnishings tend to rust
anyway, and expressed that he would prefer aluminum or stainless steel furnishings to
prevent them from rusting.
Ms. Bellalta moved on to additional furnishings, including a pre-cast concrete pot for
plants. She noted that these types of pots require less maintenance because of their selfinsulating features, which allow plants to live throughout the winter months.
Additionally, they store much more water because of their size, and therefore require
much less watering. She also moved on to describe in-ground planters along the corridor,
as well as trash receptacles. Finally, she discussed the tree planters along the corridor,
including methods for extending the lifespan of the trees, such as root paths underneath
the sidewalk. She then compared all of the streetscape furnishings in Chicago to those in
Lincolnwood, in particular those found at the corner of Touhy and Crawford.
The presentation then moved on to the suggested pavers along the Devon Avenue
corridor. Ms. Bellalta listed eight different options for pavers, most of which containing
elements similar to those found throughout Lincolnwood, such as red or terra cotta
accents. Chairman Persino indicated that his preferred option was the second one
presented, entitled Devon Ave #1, which Vice Chairman Kucienski also noted was his
favorite of the options. Vice Chairman Kucienski then asked whether the colors of the
pavers would fade over time. Ms. Bellalta indicated that they can fade, but new
techniques are being implemented to slow or prevent the fading.
Following the presentation on the palette and site furnishings, Commissioners viewed
aerial concept maps of different sections of the corridor. Commissioner Kaniff inquired
whether the planters along the sidewalks and in the median would be irrigated. Ms.
Bellalta indicated that the median landscapes would be irrigated. Mr. Luke that the
planters on the Village side would include irrigation, but not the City of Chicago side.
Mr. Luke and Ms. Bellalta then went through the proposed changes to the median and
sidewalks. Commissioner McCoy inquired whether the new design around the post office
near Kimball Avenue would cause more traffic issues due to the already present problem
of double-parking in front of the post office. He asked whether there was a way to
discourage this sort of behavior. Discussion ensued, and Trustee Elster indicated that the
4
Traffic Commission would be meeting on the streetscape plan, at which time this
particular issue will be discussed.
Chairman Persino inquited whether the crosswalk proposed on Kimball would require
traffic to stop. Mr. Luke responded saying that technically traffic is already required to
stop for pedestrians, but the addition of markings would make the law more easily
enforceable. Additionally, Ms. Bellalta noted that the bump-outs at the crosswalk and at
other locations would work to slow the traffic in the corridor, which would make drivers
more aware of pedestrians at the crosswalk and make it much easier for them to stop.
Chairman Persino then asked whether they are proposing both sides of the corridor have
exactly the same designs and furnishings. Ms. Bellalta responded saying that most of the
designs will be the same, and any differences will be minor and unnoticeable to the
public.
Mr. Luke concluded the presentation, discussing the next steps of the design process. He
noted that a public meeting will be required, which Mr. Amelio indicated would be held
on April 21st, and will be combined with the Traffic Commission meeting. Mr. Luke
continued, saying that CDOT would like stakeholders on the City of Chicago side to be
invited. He indicated that this would be beneficial to the project because both
stakeholders will be present for comment. Commissioner Levine suggested inviting the
Beautification Committee to the public hearing, as well.
Commissioner Berman inquired if there were any empirical studies on the impact on
businesses from changes such as those proposed in the streetscape plan, including the
reduction in left-turn opportunities. Ms. Bellalta responded, saying that the dynamic of
the traffic will change, but not necessarily the business activity, meaning that people will
find alternate routes to these businesses if necessary. Commissioner Kaniff also
responded, saying that the months of construction will disrupt the usual patterns of
traffic, so that by the end of the construction period (roughly eight months), any previous
habits of drivers in the area will be forgotten. Discussion ensued regarding businesses
that will potentially be impacted due to these changes. Discussion on streetscape
concluded shortly thereafter.

Reports
A. Development Updates
Manager Cook presented the Development Updates, including the upcoming public
hearing on the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan to be held on April 13th. Next, he
discussed the transfer of Special Use approval at the former Lincolnwood Wines &
Spirits site, at which a new owner is interested in operating a liquor store. Commissioner
McCoy inquired whether this new business would operate differently than Binny’s.
5
Manager Wiberg responded, saying that the owners were pursuing a business model
aimed towards faster in-and-out service.
Finally, Manager Cook discussed the extension of the Pre-Development Agreement for
North Capital Group at the Purple Hotel Site, which was approved by the Village Board.
The extension is to last through March 4, 2017, but it can be terminated if certain
development benchmarks are not met by prior dates. Discussion continued on the process
around the Purple Hotel site.
B. New Business Licenses
Commissioners reviewed the list of new business licenses issued during the month of
January 2016.
5.
Other Business
Commissiner Levine brought up an issue regarding the on-street parking at the BP gas
station on Lincoln Avenue. He indicated that cars pulling out of the parking spots going
northbound cannot see oncoming traffic. He directed staff to look into the issue.
Discussion ensued briefly before moving on.
7.

Memorandum
To:
Chair and Members
Economic Development Commission
From: Steve McNellis
Community Development Director
Date: April 22, 2016
Subject: PEP Grant Requests 1) 6825 Lincoln Avenue (Airoom building)
2) 6829-6849 Lincoln Avenue (Airoom Plaza – Multi-tenant commercial ctr.)
Attached is an application from Mr. Michael Klein, owner of Airoom, for two Property
Enhancement Program (PEP) Grants for the Airoom building at 6825 Lincoln Avenue, and the
adjacent multi-tenant Airoom Plaza at 6829-6849 Lincoln Avenue. Per the attached
applications, the property owner of the Airoom building is LAMB Corp., based at 6825 Lincoln
Avenue in Lincolnwood and the owner of Airoom Plaza is New Trier Partners LLC, based at 6815
N. Lincoln Avenue in Lincolnwood. The Airoom headquarters building is two-three stories in
height and houses Airoom’s offices and showrooms, while the adjacent plaza consists primarily
of a one-story building with a variety of commercial service tenants, including; FedEx Office,
Gentle Touch Dentistry, Lincolnwood Chiropractic, Luna Nails, Rosati’s Pizza, Subway, a
Cleaners, Joseph’s Shoe repair and Chris’s Hair Salon. These properties are located in the
Lincoln-Pratt Business District, a key commercial district in the 2005 Lincoln Avenue Corridor
Plan.
This is essentially one project spanning two properties, thus the request for two separate PEP
Grants. The project for which the PEP Grants are requested consists of a redesign of the parking
area in front of the Airoom building and FedEx tenant space in the Airoom Plaza, to alter the
parking spaces from 90 degree “head-in” spaces to angled parking with a one-way off-street
driveway for maneuvering, all located behind a parkway that consists primarily of a curbed
sidewalk. On-street parking would be provided on the Lincoln Avenue side of the sidewalk,
creating an additional buffer between the parking area and drive aisle on the Airoom property.
In addition, the owner is requesting the Village vacate the right-of-way on the north side of
Keystone Avenue, immediately adjacent to the Airoom building, in order to provide ten
additional parking spaces to supplement the eight spaces lost in front of the Airoom
headquarters building in the shift from 90 degree parking to angled parking. Landscaping
improvements are contemplated at the two parking lot access drives from Lincoln Avenue to
the Airoom building and Airoom Plaza. The redesigned parking area also requires a relocation of
the existing pole sign approximately 8’ south to accommodate the relocated handicappedaccessible parking space. This project consists entirely of improvements to the site itself, with
no improvements proposed to the building as part of the PEP Grant request.
As background, the Village has been encouraging redevelopment of property along Lincoln
Avenue to eliminate individual parking space access directly on to Lincoln Avenue. This type of
parking requires vehicles to back-out on to Lincoln Avenue, increasing the risk of serious
accidents on this busy roadway. Eliminating these dangerous maneuvers would prove beneficial
not only to customers of Airoom, but also to drivers along Lincoln Avenue.
These properties are eligible for PEP Grants under the Village-wide PEP Program which
currently has a maximum grant limit of $25,000 per project. PEP Grants require that the
property owner fund at least 50% of the total project costs. To obtain the maximum grant, the
total project cost of each project must be $50,000 of greater. The owner has submitted the
three bids summarized below for each requested PEP grant, with a cost range of $115,282 $117,690 for the Airoom building site work and $37,943 to $79,011.50 for the Airoom Plaza site
work. Should the owner select the bid from Brigg’s Paving, the eligible PEP funds for the Airoom
Plaza site would not meet the threshold for a $25,000 PEP Grant. In that case, the Airoom Plaza
site would only be eligible for $18,971.75. Both other bids would be eligible for $25,000 in PEP
Grant funds for each project.

Mike Klein, owner of Airoom and the adjacent Airoom Plaza, will be present at our Wednesday
morning meeting to present his project, discuss his bid preference, and answer any questions
Commissioners may have regarding this request.
Approvals Required
In addition to the requested grant approval, several additional approvals are necessary in order
for this project to move forward. Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) approval is
required for the proposed reconfiguration of Lincoln Avenue and Village Board approval is
required for the proposed vacation of a portion of the Keystone Avenue right-of-way. Zoning
Variations would also be needed for parking lot stall and drive aisle dimensions, as well as
minor landscaping variations. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the requested PEP
Grant be subject to obtaining required approvals from both IDOT and the Village.
Recommendation
Should the EDC support the award of the two requested PEP Grants, the following motion
would be appropriate:
Move to recommend approval of a PEP Grant for 6825 Lincoln Avenue in the maximum amount
of $25,000 and a PEP Grant for 6829-6849 Lincoln Avenue in the amount of ($25,000 or
$18,971.75), subject to receipt of required approvals from IDOT and the Village Board

Memorandum
To:
Chair and Members
Economic Development Commission
From: Steve McNellis
Community Development Director
Date: April 22, 2016
Subject: Economic Development Work plan Discussion
The importance of a plan for approaching economic development in the Village cannot be understated.
This is a period of commercial expansion, in which many local, regional and national brands are
exploring opportunities in and around the Village. It is important that the Village be cognizant of these
opportunities and ensure that all prospective businesses are aware of the Village and what it has to
offer. However, it should not be forgotten that there are a large number of commercial businesses
already in the Village, who have committed time and energy, and made a significant financial
investment in the community. It is important that any economic development steps forward recognize
that business retention and business attraction are both equally important. The gain of one business at
the expense of the loss of another is not a gain. Demonstrating the value we place in our homegrown
businesses creates an atmosphere of trust and mutual cooperation that ultimately helps create a
business-friendly climate. This climate helps put Lincolnwood on businesses radar, which can help
generate leads and business interest.
Following, is an 18-month draft work plan for addressing both business retention and attraction. This is
presented to begin a discussion at Wednesday’s meeting. This work plan will be fluid, not static, and
must adapt to the ever-changing business environment. As new information becomes available and new
ideas come forward from the Economic Development Commission, Village Board and other interested
residents, new directions can be taken. However, it is important that initial steps be taken to continue
moving forward in our business retention and attraction efforts. Clearly a strong foundation has been
laid, and significant work accomplished by the previous Community Development Director, Tim Clarke,
Village staff and the EDC. The plan is to build on that foundation and economic development tools that
the EDC has been intimately involved in.
Rather than categorizing each of the proposals below as Business Retention or Business Attraction, they
are to be considered as a whole, since many activities can be considered both retention and attraction.
Any activities undertaken that can promote Lincolnwood’s amenities, or how the Village is embracing a
business-friendly “path”, also helps instill pride in existing businesses and attracts visitors to those
businesses. The list, in no specific order, includes:
1. Business Site Visits (2-4/month)
o Top sales tax producers/employers
o Mix of commercial, office and industrial
o Large and small businesses
o Businesses from whom the Village seeks improvements
o Any business on the fence about remaining in the Village
2. Broker Meetings
o Two per year
o Promote the community and provide information on new businesses/new projects.
o Commercial Brokers only
o Target major commercial areas and areas with ”visible” vacancies.
3. Marketing
o Updated Promotional Brochure (work with Chamber)
o Pursue membership in Chicago North Shore Visitor’s Bureau
o Greater use of Social Media to promote new businesses / unique events
o “Lincolnwood Lunch” – randomly-selected restaurants (spotlight on website?)
o Monthly Business Spotlight – on website
o Updated demographics and analysis
4. Business Website
o “stand-alone” website linked to Village
o Business-focused content and graphics
5. Shop & Dine Guide
o Brochure, paper and digital
o Promotes local businesses
o Utilized at the Chamber of Commerce, at business networking events, at nearby hotels,
and on the Village website.
6. Trade Conferences/Shows/Events
o Attend 2-3 local International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) tradeshows (including
the Midwest event in October, annually)
o Interaction with Chamber of Commerce
o Attend International Economic Development Conference
7. Business Roundtable Meetings
o Work in concert with the Chamber of Commerce
o Break-out by business type (restaurants, retail commercial, service commercial,
office/industrial)
o Provide information on interesting projects, public and private
o Solicit feedback from businesses on where local government does well and where we
aren’t meeting expectations.
8. Business-friendly Zoning Changes
o Identify and consider appropriate Zoning Code amendments
o Continue proactive research on creating special Zoning overlays and/or rezoning to
meet Comprehensive Plan goals
9. Branding
o Consider marketing theme for economic development purposes only
o Create a more modern, business-focused theme for economic development
10. Monthly Business e-newsletter
o Welcome new businesses
o Note important anniversaries of existing businesses
o Provide local news that is of interest to businesses
11. Village Signage
o Investigate opportunities for attractive signage at key entry points (define the
community’s borders and emphasize community pride in businesses)
o Pole banners at key commercial intersections?
o Consider bulletin board signage at key bike path crossings, noting local business areas
and attractions
12. Contact Targeted Businesses
o Create a list (restaurants, entertainment uses, niche uses) and pursue leads
o Work with Brokers on preferred tenants list
13. Special Events
o Consider progressive events to add to existing traditional events
o Food Truck “Round-Up”
o Craft Beer/Distillery Event? (involve Begyle Brewing and Binny’s) with Lincolnwood Food
Vendors
o Village Winter event associated with Towers Christmas Lights Event?
14. Commercial Business Landscape Awards
o Institute an award to recognize the best-landscaped commercial properties
o Encourages improvements by businesses
o Recognize those businesses at Lincolnwood Fest/Village Board meeting
Proposed Timeline:
First three months (May-July, 2016):
• Begin Business Site Visits

APRIL 2016 Report
May 25 Public Hearing on Proposed New Comprehensive Plan
The Plan Commission held a public hearing on Wednesday April 13. The Plan
Commission heard a presentation by the Village’s consultant Houseal Lavigne and
discussed several aspects of the proposed new Comprehensive Plan. The public hearing
was continued and will be held at 7PM on Wednesday April 13. The Plan Commission
will continue to hear comment and to consider a new Comprehensive Plan for the
Village. This new plan was prepared over the last year through the work of the
Comprehensive Plan Committee, a special committee formed to undertake the task of
updating the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. The award winning planning consulting
firm, Houseal Lavigne assisted the Committee in this work.
Village Board Approves Lou Malnati’s Addition – 6649 North Lincoln Avenue
The Village Board approved an Ordinance authorizing Lou Malnati’s to construct a 1,100
square foot addition to the north of the existing restaurant. The project also includes an
off-street parking area that is to be used by carry-out customers as well as a delivery
driver staging area. The project will also improve drainage on the property, provide
upgrades in HVAC system, and improve egress from the basement banquet room. No
additional seating is part of the addition. A new trash enclosure will also be constructed
as part of the project. In order to construct all of the improvements, Lou Malnati’s will
demolish the residential home that is to the north of the existing restaurant. An eight foot
masonry wall with be erected along the north and the east lot line in order to provide a
barrier between the restaurant and residential properties to the north and east.
Village Board Approves Establishing Schools Zoning District
Lincolnwood School District 74 is planning to construct campus improvements beginning
at the conclusion of this school year. While most of the improvements to the campus will
occur within their school buildings, there will be modifications to the entrance of Lincoln
Hall. These modifications trigger a review of the current zoning regulations governing
the school campus. The school campus has been included in the Village’s R3 zoning
district, which is one of the Village’s residential zoning districts. Applying the standards
for single-family residential uses presents many challenges when considering appropriate
zoning standards for a school district. District 74 requested a new zoning district (an “S”
District) be created specifically for its campus, and that applicable zoning regulations be
created which will guide improvements at the campus in the future. The new zoning
regulations for the S District will allow for multiple buildings on a lot which otherwise is
not permitted without a Planned Unit Development. The language also allows for a range
of accessory uses and structures customary to schools. The new zoning district will also
allow for administrative offices. In addition, bulk regulations have been adopted which
are appropriate for the uses contemplated in the new district.
Building Permits
Below is a summary of building permits issued in February and March 2016.
Zoning Reviews for Business Licenses
The Community Development Department reviewed and approved zoning for 2
businesses seeking business licenses during February 2016. One of these was for Planet
Fitness which opened in a portion of the former Dominick’s building.
The Community Development Department reviewed and approved zoning for 2
businesses seeking business licenses during March 2016. One of these was a change of
ownership of the former Lincolnwood Wines & Spirits store which was acquired by
Danny’s Liquors.
