2 Driveways at Skokie Boulevard, Emerson Street, and Gross Point Road provide access to the subject site. An easement within the northeast corner of the subject site allows for vehicular access from Gross Point Road to the adjacent Concourse office building complex at Golf Road. The site is served by the CTA 54A North Cicero/Skokie Blvd, CTA 97 Skokie, and Pace 208 Golf Road buses, which run on Skokie Boulevard, and the CTA 205 Chicago/Golf and Pace 215 Crawford-Howard buses, which run along Golf Road. PETITIONER S SUBMITTAL The petitioner is requesting a subdivision of 1 lot into 2 lots in a B3 Business district and a dedication of portions of right-of-way at the northwest and southwest corners of the intersection of Gross Point Road and Kenton Avenue. Lot 1 will contain the Jewel-Osco grocery store and drive-through pharmacy and associated parking lot, the access driveways at Skokie Boulevard and Gross Point Road, and the detention pond. Lot 2 will contain a Culver s limited service restaurant with drive-through facility (case P). A 1999 agreement between the 2 existing property owners of the shopping center is in the process of being amended to grant access rights to the new owner of the Culver s property. Thus, no new access easements will be established in conjunction with the subdivision. Two small portions of land at the northwest and southwest corners of the Gross Point Road and Kenton Avenue intersection will be dedicated to place the existing public sidewalk entirely within the Gross Point Road right-of-way. STAFF ANALYSIS Comments Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to all pertinent departments. No comments were received for the subdivision case. Planning Division The Planning Division supports the proposed subdivision. The subdivision will meet all requirements of the Village Code and Map Data Policy. The right-of-way dedications at the intersection of Gross Point Road and Kenton Avenue will place the public sidewalk entirely within the public right-of-way. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioner s request to subdivide 1 lot into 2 lots in a B3 Business district and dedicate portions of right-of-way at the northwest and southwest corners of the intersection of Gross Point Road and Kenton Avenue be GRANTED subject to conditions listed below.
