The building is outside the terra cotta district. The lot is 25 x 122.6. The building will be brick and there may be a unit over the garage in the rear of the property if the ADU is built.

The decks and the penthouse will not be visible from Oakdale. The garage will house 2 cars. A concern was raised for space for garbage cans. There will be gravel under the porches/patios which will capture water. The ratio on the block is 7 single family homes and their building would be the 6th multi unit building. The citywide ADU becomes effective in April with a separate process for plans and approval. They will provide new sketches with room for the garbage cans. Marsalek referred the matter to the CLVN Planning and Zoning Committee for review. They will need to return March 10, 2026 for a second presentation. First Presentation for 3021 N.

Presentation by Matthew Primack, CEO at Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital: Primack has been affiliated with Advocate Medical for 20 years and became the CEO at the Hospital about 6 months ago. He previously lived on Wellington for 13 years and knows the neighborhood. He is very proud and thankful for the new tower that just opened. The tower is Phase 1 of 8 phases. The remaining phases are being reviewed to see if they will proceed or not. Phase 2 is completion of the new building at the eastern point where the building turns southbound. This phase will finish the extension of the building 60 feet which was prevented due to the area encompassed by the crane which has now been removed. The Hospital wanted to thank the neighbors on Barry for their patience and support while the construction occurred. The Hospital occupied many parking spots on Barry during construction and offered the Barry residents 24-7 parking at the garage on Wellington in place of the street parking. He knows the Hospital will be bringing new people to the area. The Hospital wants to be a thoughtful and respectful neighbor to the community. The Hospital will also be a community based hospital. Tours can be provided to the neighbors and perhaps at a CLVN meeting in the spring after the meeting neighbors can tour the facilities. The Hospital has safety concerns with the proposed bike lane on Wellington and informed the Chicago Dept. of Transportation (CDOT) of these concerns. The Hospital placed dimmer switches on the lights for the tower building and will be happy to receive community feedback if the sign is dimmer at night or needs more adjustment. Ald. Lawson Report: No report. President’s Report: Marsalek reported the developer of 3021 N. Racine asked to defer the second presentation until the Jan. 13, 2026 meeting.

However, we know we have another $1500.00 in movie night expenses for the October (screen rental) and $624.00 in website expenses in November with modest expenses for the holiday party in December. The Income came from movie sponsorships, memberships and donations. Expenses were to the website, Sec. of State for a filing fee, officer’s insurance and movies. We have 19 paid memberships so far for 2026. For 2025, there are 92 paid members compared to 91 in 2024 and 114 in 2023 for this time in the previous years. CLVN 2026 Dues are now being accepted. Dues information is at the top right corner of the newsletter. Traditionally CLVN has donated to our local food pantry, Nourishing Hope in November $250.00 and in spring $250.00. This money has been budgeted. Due to the current state of affairs we believe the donation should be made for $500.00 at this time instead of 2 donations. A motion was made by Marsalek to make the $500.00 donation to Nourishing Hope and seconded by Terry Diamond. The motion passed unanimously. A quote has been received for $1750.00 for the landscaping at Tubman to repair/correct a prior project that was disturbed by construction. A motion was made by Marsalek to pay for
this with the stipulation this is the final payment on this project. The motion was seconded by Marie Poppy. The motion passed unanimously. Even with these anticipated expenses and proposed repairs to the Tubman flower/tree boxes we will end the year in a good cash position. Lake View Citizen’s Council Report: Klees reported there has not been a meeting and the next meeting is scheduled for Dec. 5, 2025 on Zoom.

Isaac reported last summer had the lowest number of homicides in Chicago since 1965. Alderman’s Office signed a letter to transfer parking violations from CPD to the Finance Dept to free up the police to focus on violent crimes. Legislation Isaac reported the Alderman has been working on the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) legislation since 2023. ADUs can be an additional unit in the basement, attic, or a coach house. ADUs were permitted before 1957. Currently they are only allowed in pilot areas. On Sept. 25, 2025, City Council will vote to expand the program in the City. ADUs bring down rents by increasing supply and providing income (rent) to property owners. The Alderman attended a hearing on anti-Jewish hate (antisemitism) and signed resolution standing with immigrants. Community Events: Isaac reported on upcoming neighborhood events also reported in the Alderman’s weekly newsletter: The 20th Annual Lakeview East Festival of the Arts on Broadway from Belmont to Hawthorne will be held Sept 13-14 between 11:00 a.m. and 7 p.m. The Festival showcases artists from across the country, live music, a magic show, comedy hour, sing-a-longs, and dancing.

The Cubs first-Oktoberfest will be held at the Toyota Camry Lot (1126 W Grace) Sept 19th-21st. Transportation: #77 Belmont bus service will increase by 10%-20%. Wellington Greenway: No update. The Alderman is speaking with Advocate Hospital to accommodate the ER & ambulances. Development: Community Plan will be out soon with Design Guidelines. Torstenson Glass moved to Morton Grove from the Sheffield location. The purchaser is seeking to rezone for a 5-story building with 92 apartments and 25 parking spaces. Real Estate Tax Appeals: Sept. 16, 2025 is the deadline for filing a tax appeal with the Cook County Board of Review. The Board of Review will have two tax appeal workshops from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on September 11th at Wells Park Fieldhouse 2333 W. Sunnyside and September 15th at Truman College 1145 W. Wilson. Second Presentation for 3039 N. Kenmore - Zoning Change Request RS3 to RT4- 3 condo units with Type 1 Application: Zoning Attorney Nicole Lopetinsky, attorney from Sam Banks office, re-introduced the team of presenters. Mike Decker, the owner, and Steve Besch the architect. Currently, this is a 5-unit frame building on a 37.5 feet wide lot. The prior owners are deceased and the building is in poor condition. The proposal is a new 3-story brick, 3-unit condo building with a 4-car garage. The developer will include space for the garbage cans to be stored on-site. This will be an elective Type 1 Zoning Project. After the permits are issued the site will be rezoned back to RS3. The prices will be between $1-$1.6 million. Each unit will have 3-4 bedrooms. The CLVN Planning and Zoning Committee recommended the zoning change because
the new 3-unit building will be an improvement and consistent with height of the adjacent properties, also 3-4 units. Many of the existing buildings on Kenmore are multi-units. David Kelly, a resident and member, opposed the rezoning stating it would decrease the number of affordable rental units and would change the neighborhood by allowing the Developer to construct condos, similar to those on north side of Belmont. Liz Dunn and Marie Poppy responded there have been several developments in CLVN that have added affordable rental units and there is a need for affordable units for purchase due to the cost of single-family homes. The developer stated rehabbing and saving the building did not make sense due to its current condition and cost. Chris Collins, a member, and architect agreed. A written ballot was then distributed asking members to vote on the proposed zoning change. The vote was 11 in favor and 2 opposed. The President will notify the Alderman that CLVN supports the Type I rezoning as presented. First presentation for 3021 N. Racine – Zoning Change Request RS3 to RT4.5 (Type I) to build 2-unit condo with a higher building to land ratio (FAR). Tyler Manic presented for his client James Sheehan (d/b/a Meadowlark Ventures LLC-Developer) who was out of town. Sheehan has a contract to purchase the property. The contract is subject to rezoning. Manic did not know the purchase price. He stated the property is a legal nonconforming 2 unit building in poor condition that would not pass a City inspection. The lot is smaller than the standard City lot (24’ X 121’ or 2,907 SF). Manic stated the Developer is requesting that the property be rezoned from RS3 to RT4.5 because he cannot build and sell 2 condos with 4 bedrooms without it. Individuals questioned the need to upzone the property to RT4.5 versus RT4 and how the building would look in context with the adjoining properties. The zoning request was deferred to the CLVN Planning and Zoning Committee. The Developer was asked to bring a profile/elevation to the next meeting to show how the new building would look in context, at full height and depth, next to the adjacent properties. Update by Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital: Frank Nuno from the Hospital and construction representative-Aldona Jelinek presented on behalf of Advocate. The Hospital finished Phase I and the new building will officially open in September. For Phase II, the parking lane on the south side of Barry will be closed and 25 parking spaces will be lost for a year. The Hospital flyered the residents on Barry, between Sheffield and Dayton, stating it will provide 25 replacement parking spaces for them in the Barry gravel lot at no cost while the south parking lane is closed. Marie Poppy referred to the Hospital’s Parking Agreement that provided up to 22 paid parking spaces for residents that lived directly across from the Hospital in Sheffield/Wellington Garage. Poppy and Kink recommended that instead of parking in the Barry Gravel lot, residents on Barry, between Sheffield and Dayton, be allowed to park in the Garage for free while the south lane of parking is eliminated. Maritess Caamic, Vice President of Operations at Advocate stated a parking solution for the Barry residents would be provided before Sept 15th. Nuno also stated that Hospital is working on purchasing equipment that will decrease the brightness of the large, illuminated sign at the top of the new Hospital building. Aldona Jelinek updated the community with the following information: Sept 15, 2025 to fall 2026, no parking on the south side of Barry between the CTA and the Hospital’s fire-lane will go into effect to enable two-way traffic on Barry during Phase II construction. Sept 15th Advocate will have the ribbon cutting for the new building, the first patient will be admitted into the building on October 20. Turner is projecting 120 tradespeople to finish construction. Turner has provided parking for its construction workers. The workers are not allowed to park on Barry or the residential streets. Residents who see construction personnel parking on Barry or neighboring streets should call Frank Nuno at 773-296-3917. President’s Report: Diamond reported for Marsalek the corners are doing well and please water if you live near a corner. Diamond thanked Robin Greene for all of the hard work she has done to beautiful and landscape the corners in CLVN. Spring flower bulbs will be planted in September or October and we will need volunteers to plant. A holiday party will be planned for December.
