Subject: 2023 John Deere 85G Excavator with Trailer
Issue: The 2023 budget includes $205,000 in funding for the purchase of an excavator to replace
Excavator #8001 which is used for repairing and replacing water/sewer mains and structures.
Analysis: This piece of equipment is a key component to both the Water and Sewer Divisions. It
is used for the maintenance of the City's sewer and water infrastructure.
We reviewed specifications of the John Deere and determined the options that best met the City’s
needs. West Side Tractor Sales is the regional supplier of this excavator which is available through
Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance), a cooperative purchasing entity for
government and educational agencies of which the City is a member. Per Sourcewell Contract
#032119-JDC this equipment can be purchased in the amount of $183,118.19.
Recommendation: We recommend the purchase of a John Deere 85G Excavator through Sourcewell
Contract #032119-JDC, from West Side Tractor Sales Company, 1400 West Ogden Avenue,
Naperville, IL 60563, in the amount of $183,118.19. Source of funding will be the Equipment
Replacement Fund account (500-00-570-0000.8015).

SpeedLink is a “Partner of Record” with Barracuda, and as such has preferential pricing in place with
Barracuda that other vendors would not receive. SpeedLink has consistently provided the City of Des
Plaines with the lowest price pertaining to Barracuda products and services.

Amendment to the agreement with SpeedLink, 4039 Floramar Ter, New Port Richey, FL 34652, for an
additional two-year renewal period in amount of $125,671.60. Payment for this agreement will be made in

Subject: 2023 Lead Service Line Replacements
Issue: The 2023 budget includes $500,000 in funds to replace lead service lines as directed by the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). Three bids for this project were received on
March 8, 2023.
Analysis: The IEPA has mandated that all water systems are required to develop a full water service
line inventory by April of 2024 and increase lead testing. They have also mandated that partial (public
right-of-way) replacement of lead water service lines are no longer permitted, requiring full lead
service line replacements from the main to the water meter on private property. The replacements
would primarily be in connection with water main breaks and other public works construction that
affects a lead service line. To maintain compliance with these mandates we requested bids for lead
water service line replacements. The bids for this project are as follows:
BIDDER’S NAME BID AMOUNT
John Neri Construction Co., Inc $1,029,750
Joel Kennedy Construction $1,313,250
MQ Construction Company $2,158,350
Recommendation: We recommend approval of the 2023 Lead Service Line Replacement Project
to the low bidder, John Neri Construction Co., Inc., 770 Factory Road, Addison, IL 60101 in the
budget amount of $500,000. Funding source will be Water Fund, Improvements, 500-00-580-

Zoning Text Amendments Regarding Fences, Trellises, Arbors, and Yard Features
Issue: Consider the following Zoning Ordinance amendments: (i) add the terms “Fence”, “Trellis” and
“Arbor” and revise the term “Yard Features” in Section 12-13-3; (ii) amend yard feature regulations in Section
12-7-1.C to create separate regulations for trellis, arbor and yard features; and (iii) add Section 12-8-14:
Arbors and Trellises to create regulations for arbors and trellises.
PIN: Citywide
Petitioner: City of Des Plaines, 1420 Miner Street, Des Plaines, IL 60016
Case Number: #23-002-TA
Project Summary: The City of Des Plaines is applying for zoning text amendments to create
definitions and clarify regulations for fences, arbors, trellises, and yard features.
Background
In 2022 City staff encountered multiple instances where property owners erected structures attached or close
to fences that were challenging to define and extended above the allowable fence height. Ambiguity ensued
on how to define the structures by the fence: Are they part of the fence? Separate? How tall are they allowed
to be? Can they be solid or do they need to be partially open? Complicating the decision is the fact there is
no term definition for fence in the Zoning Ordinance.
In lieu of clear, specific definitions for fences, trellises and similar structures, staff relied on the normal
dictionary definition, as instructed by Section 12-13-1.A. Section 12-7-1.C allows trellises to be a maximum
of eight feet tall and minimum one foot from the property line. However, staff seeks to resolve issues with the
fence, arbor, trellis, and yard feature regulations to ensure the intent of the requirements are met and structures
that have been recently confused are henceforth accurately defined.
Fences are currently regulated in height, opacity, and location for both residential and nonresidential
properties. Broad dictionary definitions for terms like “fences” are often too general to be applied to the variety
of scenarios planners and zoning administrators face. For example, Merriam Webster dictionary defines fence
Page 1 of 32
CONSENT AGENDA #7.
as, “a barrier intended to prevent escape or intrusion or to mark a boundary.” However, fences can have a
variety of purposes within a city, including delineating boundaries, creating enclosures on property for people,
animals and equipment, and providing screening to support an aesthetically pleasing environment for residents
and businesses.
Nonetheless, the fence regulations have remained relatively consistent since adopted in the original 1998
Zoning Ordinance, even without an expressed definition. Amendments over the years have included
permitting eight-foot-tall fences on properties abutting railroad rights of way and adding regulations for dog
runs. The most substantial amendments occurred in 2019 and included placing restrictions on abutting fences,
as well as adding the “corner side” yard definition and attendant rules.
Section 12-8-2 regulates height, setbacks, location, and appearance of fencing. Staff most commonly receives
questions about the height and opacity of fencing for properties from residents seeking to alter an existing
fence or erect a new fence. Generally side and rear yards are permitted to have a six-foot-tall fence, if located
outside of the 10-foot sight triangle of an alley, driveway, or street. Fencing in the front yards can be a
maximum of four-foot-tall and cannot be less than 50 percent open. For corner lots, the corner side yard (along
the longest side fronting a street) cannot be taller than four feet and can be open or solid. The intent of the
shorter fencing in areas visible from the street is to create a more cohesive, inviting neighborhood, allowing
for the display of landscaping and preventing the appearance of a walled community.
Examples from Other Municipalities and Existing Trends
Examples from other municipalities were used to shape the suggested amendments. Fence, trellis, and arbor
definitions from twenty-two (22) municipalities of the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) were
collected and compared (refer to attached Fence Definitions of Other Communities). In particular, definitions
from Barrington, Lincolnwood, Mount Prospect, Niles, and Northfield were used to shape the proposed
definitions. The majority of other zoning ordinances include a definition of fence and regulate the location,
height, and/or materials (18 out of 22). Several communities (eight out of 22) also define trellises and arbors
and/or regulate the location, height, and materials.
Proposed dimensions of trellises and arbors were selected by evaluating existing products available at various
consumer home goods stores. Refer to Analysis of Average Dimensions of Arbors and Trellises attachment
for details.
Proposed Amendments
The full proposed amendments are attached and are summarized below:
• Section 12-13-3, Definition of Terms
o Added or revised definitions for:
▪ Fence
▪ Trellis
▪ Arbor
▪ Yard Feature (“trellis” and “arbor” are removed from this category to be
independently defined)
• Section 12-7-1.C – Permitted Obstructions in Required Yards
o Arbors and trellises added to table with applicable setbacks from lot lines and other
structures:
▪ Arbors permitted at lot line of front and corner side yards and one foot away
from the lot line at side and rear lot lines.
Page 2 of 32
▪ Trellises permitted in front and corner side yards if they do not exceed 4 feet in
height and do not encroach more than 5 feet into the front and corner side yards;
may be 6 feet tall in side and rear yards.
▪ Footnote 3 removed regarding when a permit is required for recreational
equipment and yard features. A separate amendment to the Local Amendments
to the adopted Building Code (Section 10-1-2 of City Code) will be submitted
to clarify work exempt from permit; the Zoning Ordinance is not the correct
location to regulate what construction requires a permit.
• Section 12-8-14 – Arbor and Trellis Regulations
o New section added to regulate arbors and trellises on zoning lots generally, not just in
required yards. This new section includes restrictions on:
▪ Size (height and width)
▪ Material
▪ Quantity (arbors only)
▪ Minimum separation
PZB Recommendation and Findings of Fact:
The Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) held a public hearing on January 10, 2023, continued to February 28,
2023, and recommended approval 7-0 of the amendments as written in the attached approving Ordinance Z-
6-23. Rationale that serves as justification on the standards for text amendments (Section 12-3-7.E of the
Zoning Ordinance) is included with the attached excerpt of the February 28, 2023 meeting minutes.
City Council Action: Under Section 12-3-7.D of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council may approve,
approve with modifications, or deny the amendments.

Mayor Goczkowski and Des Plaines City Council, CITY OF DES PLAINES
Subject: Planning and Zoning Board, Zoning Text Amendments, Case # 23-002-TA
RE: Consideration of Zoning Text Amendments Regarding Fences, Trellises, Arbors, and Yard Features
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Des Plaines City Council:
The Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) met on February 28, 2023 to consider text amendment requests to the
Zoning Ordinance to: (i) add the terms “Fence”, “Trellis” and “Arbor” and revise the term “Yard Features” in
Section 12-13-3; (ii) amend yard feature regulations in Section 12-7-1.C to create separate regulations for trellis,
arbor and yard features; (iii) add Section 12-8-14: Arbors and Trellises to create regulations for arbors and
trellises.
1.Staff, on behalf of the City, presented the background and rationale of the amendments, including the
existing regulations for fences, trellises, arbors and yard features. Staff provided the proposed language
and the analysis completed to arrive at the final amendments including comparisons of regulations and
definitions from other similar municipalities and dimensions of available trellises and arbors for sale at
major hardware stores.
2.The PZB asked staff about the applicability of the arbor and trellis rules within the required yards and
properties overall. Staff clarified where each regulation would apply and described the definitions for
trellis, arbor and yard feature. The PZB discussed the purpose for the amendments and how the proposed
regulations meet the standards for text amendments.
3.No members of the public spoke on this request.
4.The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (7-0) that the City Council approve of the requested text
amendment as written in the staff report.
Respectfully submitted,
James Szabo

1.Address: Citywide Case Number: 23-002-TA
The petitioner is requesting text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance related to definitions and
regulations for fencing, screening, trellises, and other similar yard features; permitting
requirements for obstructions in required yards; and any other amendments or relief as may be
necessary.
PIN: Citywide
Petitioner: City of Des Plaines, 1420 Miner Street, Des Plaines, IL 60016
Case Number: #23-002-TA
Project Summary: The City of Des Plaines is applying for zoning text amendments to
create definitions and clarify regulations for fences, arbors,
trellises, and yard features.
Update: Staff has revised the proposed amendments per guidance from the PZB on January 10,
2023, as well as based on research on the dimensions of arbors and trellises available at home
goods and improvement stores such as Menards and Home Depot (see Attachments). The original
amendments required trellises to be separated by a minimum of one foot from all structures,
including fences, arbors, and other trellises. However, the PZB discussed issues with the
practicality of this requirement for the maintenance and vitality of landscaping and gardens. Staff
proposes revised amendments that allow trellises to abut fences and other structures – in other
words, trellises could be directly next to other structures - but must remain freestanding, meaning
they cannot be attached to any other structures or rely on them for support.
Further, a minimum six-foot separation is proposed between trellises to prevent potential conflict
with the existing rule that prohibits abutting fences on the same property; the setback would
prevent a continuous line of trellises that could function as a fence placed against an existi ng
fence. In addition, the PZB suggested regulating trellis width to provide control over the amount
and size, which has been incorporated into the proposed amendments. The proposed maximum
width is 8 feet.
Finally, while the proposed amendments would still limit the height of trellises in the required
front or corner side yards to 4 feet and in the required interior side or rear yards to 6 feet, it is now
proposed that within the buildable area – or the portion of a lot not in a required yard, generally
in the center of the lot – the maximum trellis height would be 8 feet, as it is in existing rules. It is
worth highlighting that where a latticework is not freestanding but leaning against or attached to
another structure, such as a house, the proposed amendments intend not to define the latticework

as a trellis. In those instances, its height, width, and all other limitations would be the same as the
structure upon which it relies for support.
Issue: Consider the following Zoning Ordinance amendments: (i) add the terms “Fence”,
“Trellis” and “Arbor” and revise the term “Yard Features” in Section 12-13-3; (ii) amend yard
feature regulations in Section 12-7-1.C to create separate regulations for trellis, arbor and yard
features; (iii) add Section 12-8-14: Arbors and Trellises to create regulations for arbors and
trellises.
Background
In 2022 City staff encountered multiple instances where property owners erected structures
attached or close to fences that were challenging to define and extended above the allowable fence
height. Ambiguity ensued on how to define the structures by the fence: Are they part of the fence?
Separate? How tall are they allowed to be? Can they be solid or do they need to be partially
open? Complicating the decision is the fact there is no term definition for fence in the Zoning
Ordinance.
In lieu of clear, specific definitions for fences, trellises and similar structures, staff relied on the
normal dictionary definition, as instructed by Section 12-13-1.A. Section 12-7-1.C allows trellises
to be a maximum of eight feet tall and minimum one foot from the property line. However, staff
seeks to resolve issues with the fence, arbor, trellis, and yard feature regulations to ensure the
intent of the requirements are met and structures that have been recently confused are henceforth
accurately defined.
Fences are currently regulated in height, opacity, and location for both residential and
nonresidential properties. Broad dictionary definitions for terms like “fences” are often too
general to be applied to the variety of scenarios planners and zoning administrators face. For
example, Merriam Webster dictionary defines fence as, “a barrier intended to prevent escape or
intrusion or to mark a boundary.” However, fences can have a variety of purposes within a city,
including delineating boundaries, creating enclosures on property for people, animals and
equipment, and providing screening to support an aesthetically pleasing environment for residents
and businesses.
Nonetheless, the fence regulations have remained relatively consistent since adopted in the
original 1998 Zoning Ordinance, even without an expressed definition. Amendments over the
years have included permitting eight-foot-tall fences on properties abutting railroad rights of way
and adding regulations for dog runs. The most substantial amendments occurred in 2019 and
included placing restrictions on abutting fences, as well as adding the “corner side” yard definition
and attendant rules.
Section 12-8-2 regulates height, setbacks, location, and appearance of fencing. Staff most
commonly receives questions about the height and opacity of fencing for properties from residents

seeking to alter an existing fence or erect a new fence. Generally side and rear yards are permitted
to have a six-foot-tall fence, if located outside of the 10-foot sight triangle of an alley, driveway,
or street. Fencing in the front yards can be a maximum of four-foot-tall and cannot be less than
50 percent open. For corner lots, the corner side yard (along the longest side fronting a street)
cannot be taller than four feet and can be open or solid. The intent of the shorter fencing in areas
visible from the street is to create a more cohesive, inviting neighborhood, allowing for the display
of landscaping and preventing the appearance of a walled community.
Examples from Other Municipalities and Existing Trends
Examples from other municipalities were used to shape the suggested amendments. Fence, trellis,
and arbor definitions from twenty-two (22) municipalities of the Northwest Municipal
Conference (NWMC) were collected and compared (refer to attached Fence Definitions of Other
Communities). In particular, definitions from Barrington, Lincolnwood, Mount Prospect, Niles,
and Northfield were used to shape the definitions. The majority of other zoning ordinances include
a definition of fence and regulate the location, height, and/or materials (18 out of 22). Several
communities (eight out of 22) also define trellises and arbors and/or regulate the location, height,
and materials.
Proposed dimensions of trellises and arbors were selected by evaluating existing products
available at various hardware stores. Refer to Analysis of Average Dimensions of Arbors and
Trellises attachment for details.
Proposed Amendments
The full proposed amendments are attached and are summarized below:
• Section 12-13-3, Definition of Terms
o Added or revised definitions for:
▪ Fence
▪ Trellis
▪ Arbor
▪ Yard Feature
• Section 12-7-1.C – Permitted Obstructions in Required Yards
o Arbors and trellises added to table with applicable setbacks from lot lines
and other structures:
▪ Arbors permitted at lot line of front and corner side yards and one
foot away from the lot line at side and rear lot lines.
▪ Trellises permitted in front and corner side yards if they do not
exceed 4 feet in height and do not encroach more than 5 feet into
the front and corner side yards; may be 6 feet tall in side and rear
yards.
▪ Footnote 3 removed regarding when a permit is required for
recreational equipment and yard features. A separate amendment to
the Local Amendments to the adopted Building Code (Section 10-
Attachment 5 Page 22 of 32
Case 23-002-TA Citywide Text Amendment
Case 22-055-Appeal 1378 Margret Appeal
4
1-2 of City Code) will be submitted to clarify work exempt from
permit; the Zoning Ordinance is not the correct location to regulate
what construction requires a permit.
• Section 12-8-14 – Arbor and Trellis Regulations
o New section added to regulate arbors and trellises on zoning lots generally,
not just in required yards. This new section includes restrictions on:
▪ Size (height and width)
▪ Material
▪ Quantity (arbors only)
▪ Minimum separation
Standards for Text Amendments:
The following is a discussion of standards for zoning amendments from Section 12-3-7.E of the
Zoning Ordinance. Rationale for how the proposed amendments would satisfy the standards is
provided. The PZB may use the statements below as its rationale or adopt its own.
1. Whether the proposed amendments are consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies
of the comprehensive plan, as adopted and amended from time to time by the City
Council.
The Comprehensive Plan calls for the preservation and enhancement of residential and non -
residential properties. The proposed amendments serve to clarify fencing and yard feature
regulations, encouraging cohesive, aesthetically pleasing and welcoming neighborhoods and
corridors.
PZB Modifications (if any): _____________________________________________________
2. Whether the proposed amendments are compatible with current conditions and the
overall character of existing development;
The amendments clarify fence and other yard feature regulations to ensure the intent of the
existing fence rules are met, provide clearer direction on the height, materials, and location of
yard features. The proposed definitions match current trends in the size and materials of trellises
and arbors per staff’s research with several hardware and landscaping stores. The additions to
the encroachment table in Section 12-7-1.C and adding Section 12-8-14 regarding arbors and
trellises support the fence regulations in Section 12-8-2 by removing ambiguity about the
ability to use other yard features to serve as an extension of a fence. Overall, the proposed
amendments provide clarity to other sections of the Zoning Ordinance, which are the agreed
upon regulations used to control the character and development patterns of properties in the
city.
PZB Modifications (if any): _____________________________________________________
Attachment 5 Page 23 of 32
Case 23-002-TA Citywide Text Amendment
Case 22-055-Appeal 1378 Margret Appeal

3. Whether the proposed amendments are appropriate considering the adequacy of public
facilities and services available;
The proposed amendments will not have an impact on public facilities or services. The
amendments refine existing regulations for fences and yard features and will not result in
development necessitating additional services.
PZB Modifications (if any): _____________________________________________________
4. Whether the proposed amendments will have an adverse effect on the value of properties
throughout the jurisdiction; and
The proposed amendments remove ambiguity regarding the location, height, and materials of
fence and other yard features, creating certainty about appearance and scale of yard features
and providing a cohesive appearance for residents, business owners and visitors. Regulating
the allowable materials serves to ensure fences, arbors and trellises would be constructed of
high quality, durable components, and the additions to Section 12-7-1.C and new Section 12-
8-14 provide assurance that the scale of any yard features will not create a nuisance to
neighborhoods, allowing for sufficient natural light and encouraging an inviting and
aesthetically pleasing appearance of properties.
PZB Modifications (if any): _____________________________________________________
5. Whether the proposed amendments reflect responsible standards for development and
growth.
The proposed amendments provide clarity and reduce ambiguity regarding allowable height,
materials and location of fence and yard features of properties, supporting the intent of the
existing Zoning Ordinance to create responsible and harmonious development and growth
within the city. There is no anticipated negative effect on development or growth with the
proposed amendments.
PZB Modifications (if any): _____________________________________________________
Samantha Redman, Associate Planner, reviewed the staff report which includes the revised
proposed amendments using the guidance of the PZB on January 10, 2023. The revised
proposed amendments allow a trellis to be adjacent to other structures, except other trellises.
Trellises are proposed to be required to be free-standing. To avoid creating a fence, trellises are
proposed to be at least 6 feet from other trellises. Trellis heights vary depending on location on
the property.

Samantha explained that the proposed amendments included added or revised definitions for 12-
13-3, for Fence, Yard Feature, Arbor and. Trellis.
Proposed Fence definition- A structure used as a barrier or boundary to enclose, divide,
or screen a piece of land. This term shall include fences, walls, and other structural or
artificial barriers that function as a wall or a fence. For the purposes of this Title, a
"fence" shall not include arbors, trellises, or naturally growing shrubs, bushes, and other
foliage. Fences shall be made of wood, vinyl, metal, masonry, or combination thereof.
Height shall be measured from the immediately adjacent finished grade to the highest
point of the fence.
Proposed Yard Feature definition. - Objects and features, including gazing balls, bird
baths, statues, wishing wells, ornamental lights, and other similar features, intended to
be used for aesthetic purposes.
Proposed Arbor definition - A freestanding, doorway-type structure comprised of two
sides attached by an arched or flat top, intended for aesthetic purposes, and typically
located adjacent to gardens, landscaping, walkways, or entryways. Height shall be
measured from the immediately adjacent finished grade to the highest point of the arbor.
Proposed Trellis definition - A freestanding structure with latticework intended
primarily to support vines or climbing plants. Height shall be measured from the
immediately adjacent finished grade to the highest point of the trellis.
Ms. Redman discussed diagrams showing yards with the proposed trellis, arbor, yard feature
and fence regulations. Examples from other municipalities were used to arrive at the definitions
and regulations, many of which were stricter than what is currently proposed.
Member Weaver asked if the regulations would be for the whole property or just the yards. Ms.
Redman and Jonathan Stytz, Senior Planner, explained that we are looking to update two
sections of the code. The first is 12-7-3-C which talks about permitted obstructions in the
required yard which includes, front, rear, side and corner side yards. The other is 12-8-14 –
regulations for Trellis and Arbors located anywhere on the property.
Member Fowler asked about grape arbors and showed a picture. Mr. Stytz stated, for the
purposes of the amendments, an arbor would be considered an accessory structure. The structure
Member Fowler showed looks more like a pergola rather than a trellis. One of the reasons
amendments are proposed is so we can have a specific definition for arbors, trellises, and
fences.
Member Weaver said that he found four statements that discuss why these amendments are
proposed, including:
1. The proposed amendments serve to clarify fencing and yard feature regulations,
encouraging cohesive, aesthetically pleasing and welcoming neighborhoods and
corridors.
Attachment 5 Page 25 of 32
Case 23-002-TA Citywide Text Amendment
Case 22-055-Appeal 1378 Margret Appeal
7
2. The proposed amendments provide clarity to other sections of the Zoning Ordinance,
which are the agreed upon regulations used to control the character and development
patterns of properties in the city.
3. Regulating the allowable materials serves to ensure fences, arbors and trellises would be
constructed of high quality, durable components, and the additions to Section 12-7-1.C
and new Section 12-8-14 provide assurance that the scale of any yard features will not
create a nuisance to neighborhoods, allowing for sufficient natural light and encouraging
an inviting and aesthetically pleasing appearance of properties.
4. The proposed amendments provide clarity and reduce ambiguity regarding allowable
height, materials and location of fence and yard features of properties, supporting the
intent of the existing Zoning Ordinance to create responsible and harmonious
development and growth within the city.
Member Weaver asked at what point does the fence violate a community standard or
community concern- sometimes a fence height can be a safety issue, as communicated by
police. This is a security reason to limit the fence height. Mr. Stytz stated that yes safety is one
of the reasons for fence height.
Chair Szabo stated that a six-foot fence seems like its universal and it gives some people a sense
of privacy in their yards. He asked if people are trying to circumvent the 6-foot height
regulation. Staff communicated that yes, people are trying to circumvent the rules with the
existing regulations. Ms. Redman stated that the proposed regulations and definitions would not
allow a trellis to be placed on top of fences to increase the height of the fence. In terms of have
community standards, it is in the interest of the urban design of the community to not have a
walled off city.
Ms. Redman stated that the board would be making a motion to approve, approve with
modifications or deny the proposed amendments:
1. Create definitions for Fence, Arbor, Trellis and Yard Features in Section 12-13-3.
2. Provide regulations for arbors, trellises and yard features in Section 12-7-1.C – Permitted
Obstructions in Required Yards.
3. Add Section 12-8-14 – Arbor and Trellis Regulation
A motion was made by Board Member Catalano seconded by Board Member Fowler to
recommend that the City Council approves the amendments as presented.
AYES: Catalano, Fowler, Hofherr, Veremis, Weaver, Saletnik, Szabo
NAYES: None
ABSTAIN: None

Subject: Amendments to Section 10-1-2 and Section 10-2-2 of the City Code to add a condition where
work exempt from permit applies.
Issue: Consider amending Section 10-1-2 and Section 10-2-2 of the City Code. The proposed changes
relocate a provision from Section 12-7-1 (Zoning Ordinance) to the appropriate locations in the Local
Amendments to the Adopted Building and Residential Codes and clarify the intent.
Analysis: In conjunction with staff’s review and proposed zoning text amendments related to fences,
trellises, and arbors, it became clear that a portion of the Zoning Ordinance (Title 12) was regulating
whether a building permit was necessary for certain structures. The appropriate location in City Code for
that kind of regulation is not the Zoning Ordinance but instead the Local Amendments to the adopted
Building and Residential Codes (Title 10).
Proposed Amendments
Attached Ordinance M-8-23 contains the following proposed amendments to Section 10-1-2 and Section 10-
2-2 of the City Code. Additions are bold and double-underlined. Some unamended text is included for
context or introduction.
“[A] 105.2 Work Exempt From Permit.
Exemptions from permit requirements of this code shall not be deemed to grant authorization
for any work to be done in any manner in violation of the provisions of this code or any other
laws or ordinances of this jurisdiction. Permits shall not be required for the following:
Building:
1.Vinyl storage cabinets not larger than 36 square feet.
* * *
12.Recreational equipment, arbors, trellises, and yard features as defined in
the Zoning Ordinance and accessory to detached one- and two-family
dwellings unless electrical work or a foundation is required for
installation.”

8. Recreational equipment, arbors, trellises, and yard features as defined in

Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council approve Ordinance M-8-23, which amends the City
Code to add to the list of work exempt from permit in both the Building and Residential Code to include
recreational equipment, trellises, arbors, and yard features on single- and two-family properties. This
exemption previously resided in Section 12-7-1 (Zoning).

Subject: City Code Amendments Regarding the Keeping of Hens
Issue: The City’s Municipal Code was amended in 2019 to create a three-year pilot program to allow residents
in the R-1 zoning district to keep hens under certain regulations. The pilot program is set to expire on April
30, 2023, and the City Council has the opportunity to determine if the program will continue on a temporary
(extended pilot) or permanent basis. Approval of the attached ordinance would amend Section 6- 1-1.D of the
City Code to convert the pilot program into a permanent program to allow the keeping of chicken hens under
certain regulations. The amendments also propose tweaks to the existing regulations, such as allowing a
maximum of six hens instead of four.
Background and Purpose
Prior to the 2019 amendments to establish the program, the City Code prohibited the keeping of fowl
throughout the City, with the exception for educational purposes as specified in Section 6-1-1(A):
“6-1-1: ANIMALS RESTRICTED WITHIN CITY:
A. Fowl: It shall be unlawful and it is hereby declared to be a nuisance to raise, maintain or have upon any
property within the city any chickens, ducks, geese, guinea hens, pigeons or other similar fowl; provided,
however, that it is not unlawful to keep, for educational purposes, up to six (6) chicken hens on any property
located within the city that is greater than fifteen (15) acres and is listed on the national register of historic
places.”
In 2017, staff was directed to prepare an ordinance creating a three-year pilot program to allow the keeping
of chicken hens but the proposed ordinance failed on September 18, 2017. However, in response to the
growing trend in keeping chickens for personal use and for the consumption of eggs, staff was asked to revisit
the topic in October 2019, and in December 2019, the Council approved the current program.
Hen Pilot Program Overview
Approving Ordinance M-50-19 created a three-year pilot program to allow residents in the R-1 Single Family
zoning district to keep up to four hens on their property with certain restrictions starting on March 1, 2020.
Page 1 of 16
CONSENT AGENDA #9.
The full regulations are in the attached Ordinance M-50-19 and summarized below:
• A maximum of 100 permits are allowed (permits are awarded on first-come first-serve basis);
• A maximum of four hens are allowed (no roosters are permitted);
• Enclosures must be located in fenced rear yards not visible from the street and must be a minimum of
five feet from property lines and other structures;
• Size Requirements:
o Enclosures cannot exceed 100 square feet in area and cannot exceed eight feet in height;
o Coops must be located inside the enclosure and cannot be more than 24 square feet in area;
• Slaughtering chickens is prohibited;
• All coops and enclosures shall be kept in sanitary conditions and maintained at all times;
• A courtesy notice shall be mailed or hand-delivered by the applicant to all abutting property owners
two weeks prior to the permit application; and
• The coop and enclosure must be installed within 180 days of permit issuance.
Since it began, the program has led to 38 hen permit applications as of the date of this report. Of the 38
received, 30 applications have been approved, seven have been withdrawn by the applicant, and one
application was denied due to the property being located outside of the R-1 zoning district. Although
infrequent, staff has received some complaints stemming from hen permits, specifically related to the
allowance of the keeping of hens in general, hen coop and enclosures installed without permits, noise from
hens, and the location and appearance of hen coop and enclosures. Staff has also found that the
language requiring a "fenced-in rear yard" is not specific enough to prevent the installation of temporary
fencing as opposed to permanent fence structures.
Proposed Amendments
Given the information above and the approaching pilot program end date, staff has proposed amendments to
Section 6-1-1.D to convert the existing hen pilot program into a permanent hen program while also adjusting
certain regulations related to the hen program. The full proposed amendments are in the attached Ordinance
M-9-23 and are summarized below:
• Remove the hen pilot program language;
• Remove the hen permit cap (currently restricted to 100);
• Allow up to six hens on each property (currently restricted to four); and
• Add specific language regarding the fencing requirements for properties with hens.
City Council Action: The City Council may approve, approve with modifications, or deny the above-
mentioned amendments.

Backyard Hens Information and Resources
Backyard Hen Keeping Classes
Classes on backyard hen keeping and coop construction are offered several times throughout the
year at the following locations:
● Chicago Botanic Garden: https://www.chicagobotanic.org/adult_education/horticulture
● The Morton Arboretum: https://www.mortonarb.org/courses/backyard-chickens-101-
chicken-keeping
● Des Plaines Public Library
Best Chicken Breeds
When selecting breeds of hens, you want to consider factors such as hardiness to temperature,
purpose (egg-laying, ornamental, etc.), and behavior/temperament. Henderson’s Breed Chart is a
well-known resource for learning about the characteristics of various breeds.
http://www.sagehenfarmlodi.com/chooks/chooks.html
Purchasing Chicks or Hens
Select young chicks that are listed as female or pullets (usually 4-6 weeks old). Chicks listed as
“straight run” mean that they are not sexed at birth and you could end up with a male or female
chick. Obtain your chicks from a NPIP certified hatchery or breeder that regularly tests and
maintains the health of their flocks to be disease free. Some hatcheries will vaccinate young
chicks for Marek's disease which is also recommended. A number of reliable hatcheries can be
found online and seasonally at local feed and supply stores.
Biosecurity & Safety
Maintaining a healthy and safe flock are important factors in keeping hens. Owners must be
vigilant and well-informed about diseases, wildlife management, food safety and more. The
following websites are excellent sources for information:
● USDA Defend the Flock Resource Center
https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/animal-disease-
information/avian/defend-the-flock-program
● CDC Healthy Pets, Healthy People: Backyard Poultry
https://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/pets/farm-animals/backyard-poultry.html
Backyard Coop Design
● The indoor coop should be a minimum of 4 sq. ft. per bird and easy to clean and maintain.
● The outdoor run (enclosure) should be a minimum of 6 sq. ft. per bird and protected on
all sides, including below ground by creating a wire apron that deters predators from
digging.
● Ventilation is VERY important, especially in the winter. A damp coop is dangerous to the
flock as they can get respiratory diseases and even frostbite in the winter.
● Although not always necessary, there are safe ways to heat your coop in the winter.
Experts suggest that, at the very least, owners should insulate their coops in the winter
and provide a heated water bowl to prevent water from freezing.
● Poultry DVM’s website is a good resource for tips to protect flocks from predators:
http://www.poultrydvm.com/featured-infographic/tips-for-protecting-poultry-from-
predators. Owners can learn the best practices for coop construction in order to protect
flocks.

Page 18 of 26Exhibit A
2023 CIP Concrete Program MFT 23-00000-01-GM ATTACHMENT 2
Payments. The total amount of Progress Payments made prior to Final
Acceptance by Owner may not exceed 90 percent of the Contract Price.
B.Value of Work. The Value of the Work will be determined as follows:
(1)Lump Sum Items. For all Work to be paid on a lump sum basis,
Contractor must, not later than 10 days after execution of the Contract
and before submitting its first Pay Request, submit to Owner a schedule
showing the value of each component part of such Work in form and
with substantiating data acceptable to Owner (“Breakdown Schedule”).
The sum of the items listed in the Breakdown Schedule must equal the
amount or amounts set forth in the Schedule of Prices for Lump Sum
Work. An unbalanced Breakdown Schedule providing for overpayment
of Contractor on component parts of the Work to be performed first will
not be accepted. The Breakdown Schedule must be revised and
resubmitted until acceptable to Owner. No payment may be made for
any lump sum item until Contractor has submitted, and Owner has
approved, an acceptable Breakdown Schedule.
Owner may require that the approved Breakdown Schedule be revised
based on developments occurring during the provision and performance
of the Work. If Contractor fails to submit a revised Breakdown Schedule
that is acceptable to Owner, Owner will have the right either to suspend
Progress and Final Payments for Lump Sum Work or to make such
Payments based on Owner’s determination of the value of the Work
completed.
(2)Unit Price Items. For all Work to be paid on a unit price basis, the value
of such Work will be determined by Owner on the basis of the actual
number of acceptable units of Unit Price Items installed and complete in
place, multiplied by the applicable Unit Price set forth in the Schedule
of Prices. The actual number of acceptable units installed and complete
in place will be measured on the basis described in Attachment 1 to the
Contract or, in the absence of such description, on the basis determined
by Owner. The number of units of Unit Price Items stated in the
Schedule of Prices are Owner’s estimate only and may not be used in
establishing the Progress or Final Payments due Contractor. The
Contract Price will be adjusted to reflect the actual number of acceptable
units of Unit Price Items installed and complete in place upon Final
Acceptance.
C.Application of Payments. All Progress and Final Payments made by Owner to
Contractor will be applied to the payment or reimbursement of the costs with
respect to which they were paid and will not be applied to or used for any pre-
existing or unrelated debt between Contractor and Owner or between Contractor
and any third party.

SUPPORT AND
CONSENT TO
APPROVAL OF
CLASS 6b FOR 55
HOWARD AVE
Resolution
R-66-23
Director of Community & Economic Development Carlisle reviewed a memorandum dated
March 9, 2023.
Applicant GKI Industrial Chicago, LLC is owner of the subject property. They are requesting
a resolution supporting a Cook County Class 6b Property Tax Incentive (6b).
The subject property is an approximately 3.4-acre site with a 79,617-square-foot building. The
land is zoned M-2 General Manufacturing District. If support for the incentive is approved, the
applicant intends to lease the property to a parcel/mail distribution provider, Asendia USA,
Inc., who is planning to expand their current operations by moving their Chicago facility from
Elk Grove Village. The applicant previously leased the property to Groot Waste Management
Services, which as a unique type of tenant (materials sorting) required a customized build-out.
Groot vacated the property in October 2021, and since then it has been vacant, although the
owner has undone the Groot build-out to make the building marketable for future tenants.
The interested potential business, Asendia USA, Inc., is an international and domestic
parcel/mail company that specializes in the preparation and distribution of parcels, direct mail,
business mail, marketing mail, and publications. Asendia also provides warehousing,
fulfillment, and worldwide delivery. Asendia intends to use this property as a warehouse,
processing center, and office space. They are expecting to hire/transfer approximately 60 full-
time employees to this site. The tenant also intends to hire an additional 20 full-time employees
based on growth. The job number exceeds the City’s minimum expectation for number of
employees (30) to be generated through support of a 6b.
After the previous tenant vacated the property, the applicant invested nearly $660,000
renovating the property to make it marketable. These “make-ready” improvements, completed
in 2022, include $427,527 for the office demolition and renovation, $103,098 to upgrade the
dock equipment and for dock door replacement, and $131,854 to replace and restripe the
parking lot. They are pledging an additional approximately $520,000, which would include the
following: $161,960 to upgrade the façade, $10,000 to replace the concrete walkway, and
$352,000 to remodel the interior by carpentry work, structural work, plumbing work, HVAC
work, electrical work, and fire sprinkling. Historically, the City has counted work completed
in the prior calendar year (2022) toward the expectation of minimum $10 per square foot in
investment. With the 2022 improvements and the pledged future improvements, the total
amounts to $14.90 per square foot, which exceeds the City’s expectation.
12-Year Tax Impact Scenarios:
1. Estimated taxes as is (no improvements, no 6b, vacancy relief): $1,248,257
2. Estimated taxes with proposed improvements with a 6b: $1,549,926
3. Estimated taxes with proposed improvements without a 6b: $3,444,279

DISCUSSION AND
UPDATE ON THE
ALGONQUIN RD
GRADE
SEPARATION
PROJECT
The City contracted with TranSystems Corporation for a Phase 1 preliminary engineering
study of the proposed improvements. The Phase 1 study began in July 2022 and is anticipated
to conclude in late 2024. Early steps included topographic and geotechnical surveys, project
funding applications, coordination with the UPRR, coordination and meetings with
commercial business stakeholders, and coordination with the Des Plaines Park District.
The preferred improvement is an overpass over the UPRR, requiring reconstruction of the Park
District entrance approximately 300 feet north of Algonquin Road. Temporary construction
easements will be required from the Park District, so coordination is required by Section 4(f)
of the USDOT Act of 1966. Improvements for the Park District and its patrons include a multi-
use path on the north side of Algonquin Road between Mt. Prospect Road and Wolf Road,
landscaping features along the proposed retaining walls, decorative concrete form liners on the
retaining walls, decorative railings on the retaining walls and bridge, and additional wayfinding
signs.
Dave Block, a representative from TranSystems, gave an overview of the proposed
improvements, current status, and next steps for an overpass over UPRR on Algonquin Road.
Discussion ensued among the Aldermen and the Mayor regarding the details of the projected
development.
Des Plaines Park District Executive Director Don Miletic, Des Plaines Park District Board
President Erin Doerr, and Des Plaines Park District Board Member Jim Grady spoke on behalf
of the park district and expressed concerns regarding the impact the overpass may have on the
park district property.
A couple residents asked about the status of other alternatives, and expressed their concerns of
the overpass being located on Algonquin Road.
Staff answered questioned regarding the construction process.
CLOSED SESSION Mayor Goczkowski entertained a motion to go into closed session under the following sections
of the Open Meetings Act – Property Acquisition and Probable or Imminent Litigation.
Moved by Lysakowski, seconded by Zadrozny to convene into Closed Session under the
following sections of the Open Meetings Act – Property Acquisition and Probable or Imminent
Litigation.
Upon voice vote, the vote was:
AYES: 6 - Lysakowski, Moylan, Zadrozny,

NEW BUSINESS #2A.
Property/Zoning History: This building was originally built in 1965 according to the Cook County
Assessor. The building’s current configuration, with the commercial area on
the ground floor and two apartments on the second floor, has existed
throughout its known history. The property has had a commercial zoning since
the 1920s. Many buildings in this neighborhood are “mixed use,” meaning at
least one residential unit is located above a commercial use. Previously, the
commercial space was used for a radio store with apartments on the second
story from the early 1970s to 2022. This site is located within the 100-year
floodplain, requiring adherence to Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) regulations for any construction in this location.
Project Description: The petitioner, Francisco Castellanos of Serpent’s Lair is proposing a
conditional use to allow a body art establishment at 1781 E. Oakton. The
property currently consists of two occupied two-bedroom apartments on the
second story and Angels and Dragons Emporium -- a sustainable clothing,
accessories, and novelties store -- on half of the ground story. The tattoo shop
is proposing to be located in the second half of the commercial space on the
ground level.
Proposed Use and Hours of Operation
The attached floor plan includes the areas associated with the Angels and
Dragons Emporium (485 square feet), the proposed area for the tattoo shop (485
square feet), shared areas including the bathrooms, and storage areas for the
building. The proposed hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday
through Saturday and Sunday 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and are by appointment only.
The hours of operation for Angels and Dragons Emporium, the existing store in
the building, are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday 12
p.m. to 5 p.m. The hours will overlap, supporting both businesses. Serpent’s
Lair seeks to operate during these hours to limit disturbance to the existing
residences in the building and the single-family residential neighborhood to the
south.
Body Art Establishment Regulations
Body art establishments are defined in Section 12-13-3 as, “an establishment
licensed under the Illinois Department of Public Health that conducts physical
body adornment activities,” which may include piercing and tattooing. The
proposed use for this location falls under this definition.
In 2020 the Zoning Ordinance was amended to define and regulate body art
establishments. Body art establishments are only permitted within the C-3
zoning district with a conditional use and may not be located closer than one
mile to any other similar establishment. This location is outside of the range of
the only other tattoo business in Des Plaines: High Class Studio, located at 633
Metropolitan Way.
The original intent of requiring a conditional use for body art establishments
was to provide limitations on the location of these businesses and the proximity
to other body art establishments. For a body art establishment, the conditional
use process allows the City to determine if a use is compatible with its
Page 2 of 40
neighborhood and, partnered with state licensing regulations, ensure a facility
will provide safe and sanitary services. Although parking may be a
consideration for this location and for this type of business, the length of time
required for tattooing (according to the petitioner, a minimum of one hour per
customer, with larger projects taking several hours) limits the amount of traffic
and parking generated. Serpent’s Lair Tattoo is proposing to be by appointment
only.
No federal laws – only state – exist regulating tattoo establishments. In Illinois
tattooing is regulated by the Illinois Department of Public Health’s Body Art
Code.1 This code requires all body art establishments to obtain registration with
the state and regulates disinfection, sterilization, and disposal practices. All
artists are required to have blood-borne pathogens certifications. No tattooing
is permitted on anyone under the age of 18, and proof of ID is required.
Of note, the petitioner previously operated The Serpent’s Lair Tattoo for nine
years in northwest Chicago located at 4219 North Elston Ave. The Petitioner’s
Narrative and Response to Standards includes several letters from previous
employees and clients discussing the former shop, noting the cleanliness,
professionalism, and consideration of the shop within the neighborhood.
The subject of this conditional use is the location of one specific tattoo studio,
but it is worth noting the evolution of the industry. In past decades, tattooing
and tattoo parlors have had a negative connotation within the United States. The
practice has been associated with crime and deviancy, considered a taboo or
counterculture practice, and many municipalities either severely restrict or
prohibit tattoo businesses. However, the prevalence of tattoos on adults has
been growing steadily in recent decades. Between 2012 and 2019, the
percentage of American adults with a tattoo grew from 21% to 30%.2 The global
market size for tattoos is currently valued at $1.75 billion and it is estimated to
grow to $3.55 billion by 2029.3 As this number grows, it is reasonable to
assume that the correlation, or perception of a correlation, between tattoos and
crime will lessen.
Existing Non-Conformity
The proposed business will be located within the existing commercial space.
The building is currently nonconforming with two two-bedroom apartments
above the first story commercial space. The current language in Section 12-7-
3.F.2.a (as amended in 2001) allows one apartment above the first floor of a
commercial building for properties in the C-3 zoning district between Oakton
St and the railroad tracks east to the city limits. However, this restriction in

number of apartments either did not exist when the building was constructed in
the 1960s or a variation was granted to allow for residences above; of note,
several neighboring buildings were granted variations between the 1960s and
early 2000s to construct apartments above their storefronts. The existing retail
space and the residential units can persist, provided they abide by the
regulations regarding nonconformities.
Parking Requirements
Body art establishments are required to provide one space for every 250 square
feet of floor area per Section 12-9-7. The definition of “floor area” in Section
12-13-3 allows spaces such as restrooms, mechanical rooms, hallways, and
storage areas to be excluded. With a floor area of 485 square feet subject to the
parking requirement, two spaces are required. The existing store in the unit is
approximately the same size, requiring two spaces. The second story residences
would require two spaces per dwelling unit, with four spaces total. The total
parking required for this mixture of uses would be eight spaces.
Off-street parking is located in the rear of the building, an area capable of
holding approximately four standard spaces. Current striping does not meet
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance or the Illinois Accessibility Code. A
suggested condition of approval is to re-stripe the parking area to the
dimensions specified in Section 12-9-6, including adding one accessible space
to meet requirements of 12-9-8.
However, when the building was constructed, the parking requirements were
significantly different. Section 12-9-2 states, “if the building or structure was
erected prior to the effective date [of the current Zoning Ordinance], additional
parking or loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the
requirements for the new use would exceed those for the existing use.” The use
of the building prior to its purchase in 2022 was a commercial radio store,
classified as a “retail establishment.”
The amount of parking required for a retail establishment when the building
was originally constructed was one space per 200 square feet of floor area, but
only if the floor area exceeded 2,500 square feet. The definition of “floor area”
for the purposes of calculating parking requirements in the 1961 Zoning
Ordinance was the same as the current definition. Therefore, no parking was
required for the approximately 970 square feet of total retail space. For the
apartments, 1.5 spaces were required per dwelling unit with 0.25 spaces
allocated for guest parking. The rear parking lot includes enough room for
approximately four 8 ½ foot by 20 foot parking spaces. In sum, at the time of
construction, the property’s uses met off-street parking requirements.
Because of this provision in Section 12-9-2, a parking variation is not required
because two required spaces for retail matches the two required spaces for body
art. However, with the conditional use process, the petitioner must demonstrate
the proposed use will not be disruptive to the neighboring area. The PZB
considered how substantial the effect of not having off-street parking for this
use would be to businesses and residents in this area and voted to recommend
the Conditional Use to the City Council at the March 14, 2023 meeting.
Page 4 of 40
PZB Recommendation and Conditions: The PZB held a public hearing on March 14, 2023 to consider the
request. Their rationale for recommendations is captured in the excerpt to the approved minutes of the March
14, 2023 meeting. The PZB voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the conditional use request. Pursuant to
Section 12-3-4.D.4 of the Zoning Ordinance, the City Council has final authority to approve, approve with
modifications, or deny the request, which will be included in Ordinance Z-3-23. Should the City Council vote
to approve the requests, staff and the PZB recommend the following conditions:
Recommend Conditions of Approval:
1. The Subject Property shall only be used for activities related to the Body Art Establishment during
the following times:
a.) 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday
b.) 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday
2. The off-street parking area for the Subject Property must be striped in accordance with Section 12-9-
6 of the Zoning Ordinance. One accessible parking space must be located on the Subject Property to
meet the accessibility standards set forth in Section 12-9-8 of the Zoning Ordinance and the Illinois
Accessibility Code. The Petitioner must complete all required striping before applying for a business
license for the Body Art Establishment.
3. The Petitioner must have the exterior stairwell located at the rear of the Building repaired or replaced
prior to applying for a business license for the Body Art Establishment. A building permit must be
submitted, approved, and final inspections completed by the Fire Department, in accordance with the
City Code, including, without limitation, the Fire Code set forth in Chapter 3 of Title 10 of the City
Code.
4. The Petitioner must obtain, and maintain at all times, all required State of Illinois license(s) required
for the operation of the Body Art Establishment.

Des Plaines City Counsel
Des Plaines Zoning Board
Attn: Samantha Redman, Associate Planner
To whom it may concern:
My name is Sarah Spread, I’m writing to you all on behalf of Francisco “Franky” Castellanos
regarding his zoning ordinance application of 1781 E. Oakton St., Des Plaines, IL 60018.
I have been a friend of Franky’s for years and also had the pleasure of working alongside him
2017-2020 at his previous business, Serpent’s Lair Tattoo 4219 N. Elston in Chicago. During
that time, Franky continually displayed professionalism, sanitary practices, OSHA
compliance, as well as regard for the surrounding businesses and residences. He was
respectful when it came to keeping noise and music volume down, no late-night disturbances,
never crowded public parking, etc.
We were sure to make our neighbors felt as though we were all there to benefit the community
together and always kept the line of communication open and friendly for any questions or
concerns (although that was never an issue to arise, as far as I know).
I hope you also consider the impact this new shop would have on the younger residents of
Des Plaines. It would be a positive sign of acceptance and inclusion as tattoos continue to
become a commonly accepted form of self expression- even in the most professional of
workplaces. In today’s social climate, we value that unity and any chance to help people feel
that they are apart of a community rather than hidden or disregarded as less-than. The lack
of professional tattoo shops in the area only makes that entire subculture feel unwelcome and
the money they could bring to the community would only help the growth and migration of
young families to the village.
Thank you for your time, I hope we can all continue moving forward in all aspects.
Sincerely yours,
Sarah Spread

To Whom It May Concern,
Hello, my name is Zachary Pietz and I'm an eight year veteran of the Chicago Police
Department. I’m writing to you today to recommend Frankie Castellanos to receive a
permit to open up a tattoo shop in your town. Not only am I a client of Frankie’s but we
were friends long before that. Your city can rest easy, knowing Frankie will take care of
the building, neighborhood and will be kind to his neighbors as well. Frankie grew up
in Des Plaines and still calls the city home. He knows the community well and is raising
his son there too. I have recommended numerous family and friends to get tattooed by
Frankie because I trust him and know he will do a great job. He is a hard worker and
will not jeopardize his business nor his name with any type of shenanigans coming
from his work. So I ask for your kindness in allowing my friend to open his shop in Des
Plaines. Thank you, be safe and healthy.
Respectfully,
Zachary Pietz

Subject: Planning and Zoning Board, Conditional Use Permit, Case # 23-007-CU
RE: Consideration of Conditional Use Permit for Body Art Establishment at 1781 E. Oakton St.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Des Plaines City Council:
The Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) met on March 14, 2023 to consider a conditional use permit for a body
art establishment at 1781 E. Oakton St.
1.The petitioner explained their request to open a tattoo studio in this location. The Board asked about
business operations (hours of operation, number of employees, length of services.) The petitioner stated
the tattoo services will be conducted by one artist for the time being, by appointment Monday through
Saturday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The board asked about the average amount
of time spent on a tattoo service; the petitioner stated it is an average of 3 to 4 hours, with a maximum of
six hours spent on a service. The board asked if they were aware of the conditions of approval for the
project. The petitioner stated they were aware of all conditions. Member Hofherr commented on the letters
of recommendation included in the case packet, commending the petitioner on the positive reputation of
their previous shop located in Chicago. Member Hofherr also asked if the petitioner arranged for fire
inspections of the rear stairwell yet; the petitioner stated they had not, but will be in the future.
2.No members of the public spoke on this request. Vice Chairmain Saletnik asked the audience if anyone
was in favor of the request - several members of the audience raised their hands; Saletnik asked if anyone
was opposed to the request, and there was no response from the audience.
3.The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (5-0) that the City Council approve of the conditional use
permit, with the conditions provided by staff.
Respectfully submitted,

Property/Zoning History: This building was originally built in 1965 according to the Cook
County Assessor. The building’s current configuration, with the
commercial area on the ground floor and two apartments on the
second floor, has existed throughout its known history. The
property has had a commercial zoning since the 1920s. Many
buildings in this neighborhood are “mixed use,” meaning at least
one residential unit is located above a commercial use. Previously,
the commercial space was used for a radio store with apartments
on the second story from the early 1970s to 2022. This site is
located within the 100-year floodplain, requiring adherence to
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulations for
any construction in this location.
Project Description: The petitioner, Francisco Castellanos of Serpent’s Lair is proposing
a conditional use to allow a body art establishment at 1781 E.
Oakton. The property currently consists of two occupied two-
bedroom apartments on the second story and Angels and Dragons
Emporium -- a sustainable clothing, accessories, and novelties store
-- on half of the ground story. The tattoo shop is proposing to be
located in the second half of the commercial space on the ground
level.
Proposed Use and Hours of Operation
The attached floor plan includes the areas associated with the
Angels and Dragons Emporium (485 square feet), the proposed
area for the tattoo shop (485 square feet), shared areas including the
bathrooms, and storage areas for the building. The proposed hours
of operation are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and
Sunday 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and are by appointment only. The hours
of operation for Angels and Dragons Emporium, the existing store
in the building, are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and
Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The hours will overlap, supporting both
businesses. Serpent’s Lair seeks to operate during these hours to
limit disturbance to the existing residences in the building and the
single-family residential neighborhood to the south.
Body Art Establishment Regulations
Body art establishments are defined in Section 12-13-3 as, “an
establishment licensed under the Illinois Department of Public
Health that conducts physical body adornment activities,” which
Attachment 5 Page 18 of 40
Case 23-007-CU 1781 Oakton Conditional Use
Case 23-005 FPLAT 622 Graceland Tentative and Final Plat of
1332 -1368 Webford Subdivision
3
may include piercing and tattooing. The proposed use for this
location falls under this definition.
In 2020 the Zoning Ordinance was amended to define and regulate
body art establishments. Body art establishments are only permitted
within the C-3 zoning district with a conditional use and may not
be located closer than one mile to any other similar establishment.
This location is outside of the range of the only other tattoo business
in Des Plaines: High Class Studio, located at 633 Metropolitan
Way.
The original intent of requiring a conditional use for body art
establishments was to provide limitations on the location of these
businesses and the proximity to other body art establishments. For
a body art establishment, the conditional use process allows the
City to determine if a use is compatible with its neighborhood and,
partnered with state licensing regulations, ensure a facility will
provide safe and sanitary services. Although parking may be a
consideration for this location and for this type of business, the
length of time required for tattooing (according to the petitioner, a
minimum of one hour per customer, with larger projects taking
several hours) limits the amount of traffic and parking generated.
Serpent’s Lair Tattoo is proposing to be by appointment only.
No federal laws – only state – exist regulating tattoo
establishments. In Illinois tattooing is regulated by the Illinois
Department of Public Health’s Body Art Code.1 This code requires
all body art establishments to obtain registration with the state and
regulates disinfection, sterilization, and disposal practices. All
artists are required to have blood-borne pathogens certifications.
No tattooing is permitted on anyone under the age of 18, and proof
of ID is required.
Of note, the petitioner previously operated The Serpent’s Lair
Tattoo for nine years in northwest Chicago located at 4219 North
Elston Ave. The Petitioner’s Narrative and Response to Standards
includes several letters from previous employees and clients

discussing the former shop, noting the cleanliness, professionalism,
and consideration of the shop within the neighborhood.
The subject of this conditional use is the location of one specific
tattoo studio, but it is worth noting the evolution of the industry. In
past decades, tattooing and tattoo parlors have had a negative
connotation within the United States. The practice has been
associated with crime and deviancy, considered a taboo or
counterculture practice, and many municipalities either severely
restrict or prohibit tattoo businesses. However, the prevalence of
tattoos on adults has been growing steadily in recent decades.
Between 2012 and 2019, the percentage of American adults with a
tattoo grew from 21% to 30%.2 The global market size for tattoos
is currently valued at $1.75 billion and it is estimated to grow to
$3.55 billion by 2029.3 As this number grows, it is reasonable to
assume that the correlation, or perception of a correlation, between
tattoos and crime will lessen.
Existing Non-Conformity
The proposed business will be located within the existing
commercial space.
The building is currently nonconforming with two two-bedroom
apartments above the first story commercial space. Section 12-7-
3.F.2.a allows one apartment above the first floor of a commercial
building for properties in the C-3 zoning district between Oakton
St and the railroad tracks east to the city limits. However, this
restriction in number of apartments either did not exist when the
building was constructed in the 1960s or a variation was granted to
allow for residences above; of note, several neighboring buildings
were granted a variation to construct apartments above storefronts
between the 1960s, and when the Zoning Ordinance was amended
in 2001 with the current language in Section 12-7-3.F.2.a. The

existing retail space and the residential units can persist, provided
they abide by the regulations regarding nonconformities.
Parking Requirements
Body art establishments are required to provide 1 space for every
250 square feet of floor area per Section 12-9-7. The definition of
“floor area” in Section 12-13-3 allows spaces such as restrooms,
mechanical rooms, hallways, and storage areas to be excluded.
With a floor area of 485 square feet subject to the parking
requirement, two spaces are required. The existing store in the unit
is approximately the same size, requiring two spaces. The second
story residences would require two spaces per dwelling unit, with
four spaces total. The total parking required for this mixture of uses
would be six spaces.
Off-street parking is located in the rear of the building, an area
capable of holding approximately four standard spaces. Current
striping does not meet requirements of the Zoning Ordinance or the
Illinois Accessibility Code. A suggested condition of approval is to
re-stripe the parking area to the dimensions specified in Section 12-
9-6, including adding one accessible space to meet requirements of
12-9-8.
However, when the building was constructed, the parking
requirements were significantly different. Section 12-9-2 states, “if
the building or structure was erected prior to the effective date [of
the current Zoning Ordinance], additional parking or loading
facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the
requirements for the new use would exceed those for the existing
use.” The use of the building prior to its purchase in 2022 was a
commercial radio store, classified as a “retail establishment.”
The amount of parking required for a retail establishment when the
building was originally constructed was one space per 200 square
feet of floor area, but only if the floor area exceeded 2,500 square
feet. The definition of “floor area” for the purposes of calculating
parking requirements in the 1961 Zoning Ordinance was the same
as the current definition. Therefore, no parking was required for the
approximately 970 square feet of total retail space. For the
apartments, 1.5 spaces were required per dwelling unit with 0.25
spaces allocated for guest parking. The rear parking lot includes

Case 23-005 FPLAT 622 Graceland Tentative and Final Plat of
1332 -1368 Webford Subdivision
6
enough room for approximately four 8 ½ foot by 20 foot parking
spaces. In sum, at the time of construction, the property’s uses met
off-street parking requirements.
Because of this provision in Section 12-9-2, a parking variation is
not required because two required spaces for retail = two required
spaces for body art. However, with the conditional use process, the
petitioner must demonstrate the proposed use will not be disruptive
to the neighboring area. The PZB may consider how substantial the
effect of not having off-street parking for this use will be to
businesses and residents in this area.
Standards for Conditional Use
The following is a discussion of standards for conditional uses from Section 12-3-4(E) of the
Zoning Ordinance. Rationale for how the proposed amendments would satisfy the standards is
provided below and in the petitioner’s response to standards. The PZB may use this rationale
toward its recommendation, or the Board may make up its own.
1. The proposed Conditional Use is in fact a Conditional Use established within the
specific Zoning district involved:
Comment: Body art establishments require a conditional use permit in the C-3 Zoning
District.
2. The proposed Conditional Use is in accordance with the objectives of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan:
Comment: The 2019 Comprehensive Plan illustrates this area to be used for Higher
Density Urban Mix. In addition, an established goal in the Comprehensive Plan is to
“Revitalize the Oakton Street Corridor.” Promoting economic vitality of a corridor
requires supporting the establishment of businesses within existing storefronts. The
approval of this conditional use allows for a vacant commercial space to be occupied and
creates additional economic activity along Oakton Street.
3. The proposed Conditional Use is designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity:
Comment: All uses will be located within an existing building; no changes to the
appearance are proposed with the exception of signs for the business, which will be
designed to meet requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The existing storefront is
harmonious with other similar buildings along Oakton Street. A building permit is
currently being processed to repair the stairway in the rear of the building. The rear

Case 23-005 FPLAT 622 Graceland Tentative and Final Plat of
1332 -1368 Webford Subdivision
7
parking lot will also be re-surfaced and re-striped to meet code requirements and add an
accessible space, as noted in the Conditions of Approval for this application.
4. The proposed Conditional Use is not hazardous or disturbing to existing neighboring
uses:
Comment: As discussed in the Petitioner’s Response to Standards, the business will
operate by appointment only with no more than two customers at a time. Refer to the
Parking section of this report for details on parking requirements. It is important to note
that the property has never required off-street parking for the retail component of the
building. On-street parking is available on Oakton Street to accommodate customers;
however, the petitioner is also working with a nearby business, Kids Above All, on a
parking agreement to accommodate parking for their site. Customers will be encouraged
to use on-street parking when necessary, unless a parking agreement can be formed to
accommodate parking in other available parking areas. Hours of operation will be Monday
through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., creating a minimal
disturbance for the existing residents within the building and the single-family residences
to the south. A limited amount of traffic will be generated, as the business is by
appointment only with no walk-ins or retail operations. State licensing is required to
operate a body art establishment, which the petitioner will maintain while operating as
this use.
5. The proposed Conditional Use is to be served adequately by essential public facilities
and services, such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer, and schools; or, agencies responsible
for establishing the Conditional Use shall provide adequately any such services:
Comment: The existing building has been adequately served by essential public facilities
and services. Staff has no concerns that the proposed use will not be adequately served
with essential public facilities and services. The establishment will follow all local and
state regulations regarding disinfection, cleanliness, and proper disposal of all needles and
other substances related to the business.
6. The proposed Conditional Use does not create excessive additional requirements at
public expense for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic well-being of the entire community:
Comment: The proposed use would not create a burden on public facilities. This new
business would be located within an existing, unoccupied portion of the building and
provide additional commercial activity to this corridor.
7. The proposed Conditional Use does not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons,
property, or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise,
smoke fumes, glare or odors:
Attachment 5 Page 23 of 40

Case 23-005 FPLAT 622 Graceland Tentative and Final Plat of
1332 -1368 Webford Subdivision
8
Comment: As discussed in the Petitioner’s Narrative and Response to Standards, the hours
of operation will be limited to normal business hours and will be by appointment only,
creating limited generation of traffic. No larger truck traffic will be generated by any uses.
All proposed activities would take place inside the building reducing any noise, smoke
fumes, light, glare, odors, or other concerns.
8. The proposed Conditional Use provides vehicular access to the property designed so
that it does not create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
thoroughfares:
Comment: Access to the building will continue to be provided through the entrance on
Oakton Street. New traffic generated will be limited to appointments for the business; it
is important to note that the zoning of this property allows for other uses that could result
in a greater amount of traffic/parking for the site, such as a restaurant or store. The existing
street network can accommodate the limited amount of traffic for this new use.
9. The proposed Conditional Use does not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of
natural, scenic, or historic features of major importance:
Comment: The subject property is within an existing building and thus would not result in
the loss or damage of natural, scenic, or historic features. No new development is proposed
for this site.
10. The proposed Conditional Use complies with all additional regulations in the Zoning
Ordinance specific to the Conditional Use requested:
Comment: The proposed uses comply with all applicable requirements as stated in the
Zoning Ordinance.
Vice Chair Saletnik swore in Francisco Castellanos and Salvador Castellanos. Francisco
Castellanos stated that he would like to open up a body art studio in Des Plaines. He has been a
Des Plaines resident since 1987, he had a business in Chicago for 9 years, and would like to
reopen the business in Des Plaines. Hours of operations would be 11:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday
to Saturday and 12 to 6 pm on Sundays. The clients are mostly word of mouth and by
appointment. Mr. Castellanos stated that he spends from 1 to 6 hours with a client.
Board Member Hofherr stated that he read the report and was very impressed by all the
recommendations that were provided.
Board Member Catalano asked if the petitioner has seen the recommended conditions of
approval?
Francisco Castellanos stated that yes, he has seen them and the conditions would be taken care of
before opening.

Vice Chair Saletnik asked the audience by hand vote if they were in favor of approval – stated a
number of hands were raised. Vice Chair Saletnik then asked if anyone in the audience was
against the proposal – no hands were raised. No comments from the audience.
Samantha Redman, Associate Planner reviewed the staff report. The petitioner is requesting a
conditional use permit to operate a Body Art Establishment in the C-3 General Commercial
District. Body Art Establishments as a conditional use are a recent addition to the text of the
zoning ordinance, added in 2020. There are several requirements, including being at least one
mile from any other body art establishment and the floor area of the establishment cannot be more
than 2,000 square feet. Ms. Redman went over the site plan.
Ms. Redman explained the conditions of approval for includes the hours of operation,
replacement of the rear stair well and the rear parking area needs to be restriped so the parking
dimensions meet the City’s requirements.
No parking variation was requested because Section 12-9-2 states, “if the building or structure
was erected prior to the effective date [of the current Zoning Ordinance], additional parking or
loading facilities are mandatory only in the amount by which the requirements for the new use
would exceed those for the existing use.” The use of the building prior to its purchase in 2022
was a commercial radio store, classified as a “retail establishment.” The amount of parking
required for a retail establishment when the building was originally constructed was one space
per 200 square feet of floor area, but only if the floor area exceeded 2,500 square feet. The
definition of “floor area” for the purposes of calculating parking requirements in the 1961 Zoning
Ordinance was the same as the current definition. Therefore, no parking was required for the
approximately 970 square feet of total retail space. On street parking is available at this location.
However, Ms. Redman stated that through the conditional use process, the Board is able to
determine if the lack of off-street parking will be disruptive to the neighborhood or create other
issues in this area.
Ms. Redman stated that the board can recommend approval, approval with conditions or deny.
The recommended condition of approval includes.
1. The Subject Property shall only be used for activities related to the Body Art
Establishment during the following times:
a.) 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday
b.) 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday
2. The off-street parking area for the property must be striped in accordance with Section
12-9-6. One accessible parking space shall be located on site to meet accessibility
standards pursuant to Section 12-9-8 and Illinois Accessibility Code.
3. The exterior stairwell on the rear of the building must be repaired or replaced prior to
the issuance of business license for the body art establishment. A building permit must
be submitted, approved, and final inspections completed by the Fire Department, in
accordance with Fire Code for emergency exit stairwells.

4. All state licensing must be maintained to operate as a body art establishment at this
location.
Member Hofherr asked if the owner has arranged for a fire inspector yet?
Francisco Castellano stated that they have not met with the fire inspector, but they will be.
A motion was made by Board Member Catalano seconded by Board Member Veremis to
recommend approval to the City Council for the conditional use as requested with the four
conditions as stated.
