COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — Alderman Rodd, Chair
The petitioner, Ted Karabatsos, has requested a Conditional Use Permit to operate a
trade contractor use in the C-3, General Commercial district and Major Variation to
reduce the amount of required off-street parking from 27 to 10 spaces at
1730-1736 E. Oakton Street. The petitioner represents a roofing and sheet metal
company called Valdex Construction that purchased the property with the intent of
occupying the warehouse space in the back. The subject space was last occupied by an
auto body repair use, which left in 2011.
The petitioner does not plan to make any alterations to the space or the building with
the exception of adding four off-street parking spaces. Given the unique shape of the
property and the small existing six -space parking lot, the petitioner has added four
parking spaces inside of the garage/warehouse space. However, a parking variation is
required for the remaining 17 parking spaces as this property was constructed prior to
modern parking standards. The parking variation is a formality to allow the trade
contractor to re -occupy part of the first floor.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (6-0) that the City Council approve the
request with the six conditions found in the staff report.
Staff recommended approval of Ordinance Z-14-20.
Moved by Rodd, seconded by Lysakowski, to Approve Ordinance Z-14-20, AN
ORDINANCE GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND A MAJOR
VARIATION FOR THE OPERATION OF A TRADE CONTRACTORS
ESTABLISHMENT AT 1730-1736 E OAKTON STREET, DES PLAINES, IL.
Upon voice vote, motion carried.

EMERGENCIES:
Page 6 of 7 03/16/20
The property owner of 81-83 Broadway Street is requesting an extension to the
previously approved Resolution R-105-18 as the grant reimbursement period since
expired on May 22, 2019. Hank Kolak from Hanlin Management Inc., owner of the
subject property, filed a business assistance application for the property at 81-83
Broadway Street under the programs of multi -unit facade and an awning grant totaling
$19,463.75. City Council approved the grant request in 2018 via Resolution R-105-18.
Per the Business Assistance Program Guidelines, applicants have one year from the
date of the award to complete their project and submit all necessary paperwork for the
reimbursement. Mr. Kolak identified the Cumberland Circle reconstruction project as
a barrier to finishing the building work within the timeframe. As such, the applicant is
requesting that City Council reactivate the grant through a new resolution to make his
grant eligible for reimbursement. If the grant is extended, it is recommended that the
grant be extended six months from the date of approval to allow the property owner
time to submit for the reimbursement Also, if approved for the extension, the funds for
this grant will come out of FY2020 Business Assistance Grant Program.
Moved by Rodd, seconded by Goczkowski, to Approve Resolution R-67-20, A
RESOLUTION APPROVING AN EXTENSION OF THE BUSINESS
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM MULTI -UNIT RETAIL GRANT FOR FA(ADE
IMPROVEMENTS AND A BUSINESS ASSISTANC E PROGRAM AWNING
GRANT FOR AWNING IMPROVEMENTS AT 81-83 BROADWAY STREET.

Brookman, Chester, Smith, Goczkowski
NAYS: 0- None
ABSENT: 0- None
Motion carried.
General Counsel Friedman introduced Ordinance M-6-20, Amending the City Code
Regarding Civil Emergencies. While the City Code addresses Civil Emergencies it
does not address the type of public health emergency that has been declared by our
Federal, State, and Local officials. The proposed amendment includes dangerous and
infectious diseases. This amendment allows the Mayor to declare and have certain
powers, enforce certain rules, expedite certain matters and alter staffing procedures
during an emergency. This can be accomplished by a Mayoral Proclamation as long as
the city code includes this type of provision. The second step is to authorize a Mayor
Declaration of Emergency.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Goczkowski, to Approve Ordinance M-6-20, AN
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5 OF TITLE 6 OF THE CITY CODE
REGARDING CIVIL EMERGENCIES. Upon voice vote, motion declared carried.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Rodd, to Advance to Second Reading and adopt
Ordinance M-6-20, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5 OF TITLE 6 OF
