Case 23-055-CU 607 E. Oakton Conditional Use
2
1. Address: 607 E. Oakton Street Case Number: 23-055-CU
The petitioner has requested a Conditional Use for an auto service repair use in the C-3 General
Commercial district at 607 E. Oakton Street, and any other variations, waivers, and zoning relief as
may be necessary.
Petitioner: Mykola Tsakhniv,601 Huntington Commons, Mt Prospect, IL 60056
Owner: 607 Oakton, LLC, 2241 W. Howard Street, Chicago, IL 60645
PIN: 09-30-202-008-0000
Ward: #5, Alderman Carla Brookman
Existing Zoning: C-3, General Commercial District
Existing Land Use: Vacant Building (former Auto Service Repair use)
Surrounding Zoning: North: R-3, Townhouse Residential District
South: R-1, Single Family Residential District
East: C-3, General Commercial District
West: M-2, General Manufacturing District
Surrounding Land Use: North: Townhouses (residential)
South: High School (institutional)
East: Animal Hospital (commercial)
West: Warehouse (industrial)
Street Classification: Oakton Street and Wolf Road are Minor Arterial roads, both under
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) jurisdiction.
Comprehensive Plan : Commercial is the recommended use of the property.
Zoning/Property History: Based on City records, the subject property was annexed into the City
in 1955. It was utilized as an auto repair use, Elmer’s Service, until
2014 when it was vacated. The subject property has been vacant since
2014. Auto service repair was not a conditional use in past zoning
ordinances, so no zoning entitlements were necessary for the prior
repair shop and thus no conditional use permits are on record for this
address.
Case 23-055-CU 607 E. Oakton Conditional Use
3
Project Description:
Overview
Petitioner Mykola Tsakhniv has requested a Conditional Use Permit to operate an auto
service repair facility, BOGO Shop, at 607 E. Oakton Street. The subject property
contains a stand-alone building with a surface parking area as shown in the attached
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey. The subject property is located on the southeast corner
of Oakton Street and Wolf Road and is accessed by four existing curb cuts, two from
Oakton Street and Wolf Road. The subject property is located within the C-3, General
Commercial district and auto service repair requires a conditional use permit in the C-
3 zoning district.
Floor Plan and Elevations
The existing one-story, 2,437-square foot building is made up of three service bays,
120-square feet of office space, restroom, utility rooms, and storage spaces. While the
petitioner is not proposing a change to the size or location of the building, the proposal
includes adjustments to the existing floor plan, which are summarized below and
illustrated on the attached Floor Plans:
• Repurpose the existing front office space into a customer lobby area;
• Repurpose the existing front storage area into an office;
• Expand the existing restroom space; and
• Repurpose the existing rear utility room as a parts assembly area.
The existing structure is comprised of a mixture of board and batten siding and
concrete masonry units. The petitioner does not propose to replace the existing
materials but rather repaint all exterior building materials as illustrated in the attached
Elevations and the attached Renderings.
Off-Street Parking and Access
Pursuant to Section 12-9-7 of the Des Plaines Zoning Ordinance, auto service repair
facilities are required to provide two parking spaces per service bay and one space for
every 200 square feet of accessory retail. Thus, a total of seven off-street parking
spaces are required including one handicap accessible parking space. The attached Site
Plan proposes 15 total parking spaces on the property, including a handicap accessible
space. There are currently four access points on the subject property, two are in close
proximity to the Oakton/Wolf intersection. Public Works and Engineering (PWE) staff
have recommended that these two curb cuts be removed and replaced with turf and
curb to minimize vehicle/pedestrian interactions and traffic cutting through the subject
property. However, the proposal does not include the removal of any curb cuts.
Instead, it includes the closing off the westernmost curb cut off Oakton Street and
northernmost curb cut off Wolf Road with the addition of two planter boxes in front
of each entrance. A proposed condition of approval is that the landscaper boxes need
to be located within the property line. No other changes to the existing curb cuts are
proposed. The existing pavement in the parking area is in disrepair. As such, the
petitioner intends to either replace, retain, or sealcoat portions of the parking area
based on its condition and restripe parking spaces as illustrated on the attached Site
Plan.
Case 23-055-CU 607 E. Oakton Conditional Use

Landscaping and Screening
The existing property is void of any landscaping. However, the petitioner’s proposal
includes (i) the installation of a landscaped area with curb at the northwest corner of
the property and (ii) the addition of four planter boxes—two located in front of the
westernmost curb cut off Oakton Street and two located in front of the northernmost
curb cut off Wolf Road—as illustrated in the attached landscape plan. A proposed
condition of approval is that the landscaper boxes need to be located within the
property line.
The Comprehensive Plan seeks to encourage and actively pursue beautification
opportunities and efforts, including the installation of landscaping, street furniture,
lighting, and other amenities, to establish a more attractive environment and achieve
stronger corridor identity in Des Plaines. Due to the small lot and prominent location,
conditions are being recommended by staff to enhance the property and minimize any
visual impacts. While the proposal includes the addition of some landscaping, staff
has added a condition requiring a minimum five-foot-landscape bed around the
perimeter of the north row of six parking spaces and along the entire west property
line maintaining the access through the southernmost curb cut off Wolf Road to
provide a more pronounced buffer between the streets, building, and parking areas.
A dumpster will be located behind the building within a fenced in area. Staff has added
a condition that the dumpster is located within an enclosure in compliance with
Section 12-10-11 of the Des Plaines Zoning Ordinance. The enclosure is noted on the
Floor Plan.
Business Operations
BOGO Shop will be open 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. Their services will include: (i) engine
diagnostics and repairs; (ii) brake system inspections and repairs; (iii) suspension and
steering repairs; (iv) transmissions maintenance and repairs; (v) AC and heating
system servicing; (vi) electrical system diagnostics and repairs; and (vii) routine
maintenance (e.g., oil changes, tire rotations, etc.). A maximum of four employees
will be present on site at a given time. Please see the attached Project Narrative for
more details. Proposed conditions of approval related to business operations include
providing a dedicated area for used tires and a tire disposal contract provided with the
business registration, if applicable to business operations. Another condition of
approval limits use of the existing waste oil tank until proper approvals are received
from local, state, or federal entities.
Conditional Use Findings: Conditional Use requests are subject to the standards set forth in 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 attached petitioner responses to standards. The Board may use
the provided responses as written as its rationale, modify, or adopt its own.
Case 23-055-CU 607 E. Oakton Conditional Use
5
1. The proposed Conditional Use is in fact a Conditional Use established within the specific
Zoning district involved:
Comment: The proposed services at the BOGO shop are classified under the auto service repair
use, which is a Conditional Use as specified in Section 12-7-3.K of the Zoning Ordinance for
properties in the C-3 General Commercial District.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): ______________________________________
2. The proposed Conditional Use is in accordance with the objectives of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan:
Comment: The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Commercial and strives to foster
growth and redevelopment of existing commercial corridors to attract new businesses to Des
Plaines. This property is positioned on the Oakton Street corridor and is surrounded by a mixture
of commercial, residential, and industrial development. The addition of the auto service repair
use at the subject property falls within the Commercial use category.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): _______________________________________
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: The property and existing building has been designed for an automotive repair use
and was previously occupied by an automotive service repair shop. However, the subject property
has been vacant since 2014 and has fallen into disrepair. The proposed auto repair facility will
repurpose and improve this property so it is consistent with surrounding commercial
development. The petitioner proposes to revitalize the vacant building for an auto service repair
use so that it blends well with the surrounding commercial uses and structures. The petitioner
proposes to repaint the exterior of the building and slightly alter the floor plan, but does not
propose to change the size, location, or height of the structure at this time.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): ________________________________________
4. The proposed Conditional Use is not hazardous or disturbing to existing neighboring uses:
Comment: The previous automotive repair use located within this building was not hazardous or
disturbing to existing neighboring uses. The footprint and height of the existing building will
remain the same. However, the exterior of the building will be repainted to improve its appearance
and the installation of landscaping on the site is proposed to improve the overall appearance of
the property to neighboring uses. The auto service repair use is consistent with and
complementary to other commercial uses in the area.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): ________________________________________
Case 23-055-CU 607 E. Oakton Conditional Use
6
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 previous auto service repair use on this site was adequately served by essential
public facilities and services. The proposal does include closing off the two curb cuts closest to
the Oakton/Wolf intersection to address concerns related to vehicular/pedestrian interactions and
cut-throughs. However, the two remaining curb cuts are sufficient to provide access to the site.
Staff does not have concerns that the proposed auto service repair use will be adequately served
by essential public facilities and services.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): _______________________________________
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 previous auto service repair use did not create a burden on public facilities and
was not detrimental to the economic well-being of the community. Thus, there are no anticipated
concerns for the community as a result of the Conditional Use Permit for a new auto service repair
use at this location.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): ________________________________________
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:
Comment: The proposed auto service repair use is not anticipated to create additional traffic
compared to the previous auto service repair use. In addition, all activities will take place inside
the building to reduce any noise, smoke fumes, glare, or odors. An eight foot tall, solid fence is
required by Section 12-10-9.C for C-3 properties abutting residential districts; a proposed
condition of approval requires this fence to be installed. This fence will limit any headlights from
spilling onto the adjacent property and provide additional screening.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): ________________________________________
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: The proposed auto service repair use will not create an interference with traffic on
surrounding public thoroughfares. The proposal will close off two of the existing four access
points onto the property—one from Oakton Street and one from Wolf Road—and add landscaping
to minimize vehicular interaction points utilized by the previous auto service repair business.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): ________________________________________
Case 23-055-CU 607 E. Oakton Conditional Use
7
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 proposed auto service repair use would not cause the destruction, loss, or damage
of any natural, scenic or historic features of major importance. The building and site were already
developed for this use. The petitioner plans to add landscaping and screening to improve the
aesthetics of the property.
PZB Additions or Modifications (if necessary): ________________________________________
10. The proposed Conditional Use complies with all additional regulations in the Zoning
Ordinance specific to the Conditional Use requested:
Comment: The proposed auto service repair use meets all other requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance for the C-3 General Commercial District.

Mr. Kazimer stated that they have an alternative to the fence which would have canvas.
Mr. Capozzoli stated that they have not contacted Maine West. But they could put Maine Wests name
on the fence and clean it up.
Jonathan Stytz, Senior Planner, explained the fence requirements. He stated that the fence is located

The PZB Staff has 11 Recommended Conditions which are as follows:
Case 23-055-CU 607 E. Oakton Conditional Use
10
1. The parking area shall be repaved with a dust-free hard surface and the parking spaces
shall be painted on the property to match the approved Site Plan. A revised parking striping
plan may be approved by the Community and Economic Development Department if the
plans meet the requirements of Section 12-9-6 and Site Plan Review standards pursuant
to Section 12-3-2.B.
2. Minimum five-foot wide perimeter landscape areas shall be installed along the perimeter
of the north parking area and the west property line in compliance with Section 12-10-
8.B.
3. All planter boxes shall be at least 12-inches high and 12-inches wide and shall be filled
and maintained with live plantings. Planter boxes and any other landscaping
improvements must be located within the property line.
4. The dumpster shall be screened on all sides by a solid wood or masonry fence with a
height of not less than six feet but not more than eight feet in compliance with Section 12-
10-11.
5. Damaged or inoperable vehicles shall not be parked or stored outside the Subject Property
for more than fourteen consecutive days. No vehicles shall be stored within the drive aisles
at any time.
6. Only three service bays shall be allowed for the life of this conditional use. No auto body
related activities are permitted unless this conditional use is amended. Sale and display of
motor vehicles is not permitted at any time.
7. No auto body related activities are permitted unless this conditional use is amended. Sale
and display of motor vehicles is not permitted at any time.
8. That the Site/Landscaping Plan drawing shall be updated so as to remove the two curb
cuts closest to the East Oakton Street/South Wolf Road intersection, provide the dumpster
enclosure location and details, and show the addition of the perimeter landscape areas
between the parking area and the public sidewalk. The revised Site/Landscape Plan
drawings shall be resubmitted to staff within 60 days of City Council approval.
9. An eight-foot tall solid wood, vinyl, or masonry fence must be installed along the south
boundary in compliance with Section 12-10-9.C.
10. Used tires may only be stored inside the building, a dumpster, a fully enclosed fence
enclosure, or a permitted accessory structure. A contract with a tire disposal company must
be provided to Community and Economic Development staff prior to issuance of a
business registration, or an affidavit must be signed attesting that no used tires will be
stored on site.
11. The existing waste oil tank on site shall not be used until it receives proper local, state, or
federal approvals.
He stated that the Planning and Zoning Board is the Recommending Body and has the authority to
recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial for the Conditional Use for Auto Service
Repair Use.
Member Weaver stated that the area where they are not sure if it will be gravel or grass is not in the
condition.
Case 23-055-CU 607 E. Oakton Conditional Use
11
Mr. Stytz stated that it is not in the conditions of approval. The area is noted because staff need to
the area to be identified on what it will be used for since the Site Plan will be part of an ordinance.
He also stated that the area cannot be gravel. He stated they can seed the area.
Mr. Saletnik stated that before this goes to council and it should be included in the conditions, the
disposition of the unknown area needs to be known. The property owner needs to decide what they
will be doing with that area and plan accordingly. And this is since this is next to Maine West- why
wouldn’t you contact them to find out who owns the fence. He stated that should have been a part of
the petitioner’s due diligence. He stated that they should be required to contact Maine West to see if
they will remove the fence. Then the City should require you to put up the normal 8-foot barrier
fence. He also states that the galvanized horse troughs are not right for such a highly visible area.
He also asked staff if engineering suggested those curb cuts to be closed. And if they did then another
condition would be that the petitioner contacts IDOT and get a decision regarding the curb cuts.
Ryan Johnson, Assistant Community and Economic Development Director, stated that some of the
changes shown by the petitioner tonight have not been given to staff. He stated staff would need time
to review the changes.
Member Weaver stated that if looks like there are three conditions that need to be resolved for the
board’s recommendation. Those conditions are the planters, the curb cuts, and the fence.
Mr. Stytz stated that the curb cuts are IDOT property, and the city does not have a decision on what
IDOT does. The curb cuts were there and IDOT came and made improvements and did not make a
change. He doesn’t think we should jump to the conclusion that IDOT left the curb cuts because they
didn’t have a problem with it. He believes the City should get something from IDOT to give a
decision on what they think of the curb cuts. He believes if the condition for the two curb cuts it
taken away that they should have something from IDOT showing approval.
Ryan Johnson stated that if IDOT was making improvements to a site, it is hard for the City
Engineering department to decide what a future use for a private property would be. And for some
of the examples from the petitioner, there are legal non-conforming curb cuts that were done many
years ago that were allowed.
Member Saletnik stated that he believes there should be two conditions before it goes to City Council.
He states that we need to get a disposition from Public Works and Engineering of what the status of
the curb cuts would be and get disposition from Maine West on the fence.
Member Weaver stated that if they wait to have the issues addressed, then the petitioner would lose a
construction season. He suggested a motion with changes to Conditions 3,8 and 11.
A motion was made by Board Member Weaver, seconded by Board Member Hofherr to
recommend approval to the City Council of the C-3 Commercial District Conditional Use
with the staffs 11 condition of approval subject to changes to in Numbers 3, 8 and 11. The
Planning and Zoning Board suggested changes are as follows.
