1. Consideration of an Ordinance Granting a Special Use Permit Approving the
Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital Campus Master Plan and Establishing Conditions of
Approval. (First Reading)
PRESENTED BY CATHERINE CZERNIAK,
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (810-3504)
In September, 2011, the Plan Commission began consideration of a request from
Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital for approval of a new campus Master Plan with an
informational presentation from hospital representatives. In December, 2011, the Plan
Commission opened its public hearing on this matter and continued deliberations over
the course of four public meetings. The Master Plan presents a phased plan for
revitalizing the hospital campus. A replacement hospital, a new medical office building,
parking facilities, road improvements and the establishment of landscaped buffers at the
perimeter of the campus are all included in the first phase of the project. The mid-term
phase of the Master Plan anticipates reuse of the existing hospital facilities for education
and research purposes after the replacement hospital is operational. The future phase of
the project projects possible long term needs on the campus. A copy of the Master Plan
is included in the Council packet, along with a report and recommendation from the
Plan Commission beginning on page 29.
The Plan Commission received a significant amount of written and verbal testimony,
some in support of the proposed project and some raising concerns about the scope

June 18, 2012 Agenda
and potential impacts of the project. In response to concerns raised, the Plan
Commission discussed many aspects of the project but in particular, spent considerable
time vetting and providing direction to the hospital project team and City staff on the
following key issues: traffic and the details and timing of road improvements, uses
permitted on the campus, building setback and open space buffer areas and building
heights.
After reviewing the revised Master Plan presented by the hospital at the May Plan
Commission meeting, the Commission commended the hospital project team for the
significant modifications and clarifications made to the plan in response to comments
from the Commission and the public. The Commission recognized that this Master Plan
does not answer every question that was raised or provide detailed plans, but concluded
that the Master Plan does what it is intended to do; it establishes a strong framework for
future decisions as detailed plans for the campus are developed.
After its 8-month consideration of the Master Plan, on May 22, 2012, the Plan Commission
voted 6 – 0 to recommend to the City Council that a Special Use Permit be granted
approving the Northwestern Lake Forest Master Plan subject to extensive conditions of
approval. The Commission recommended 25 conditions of approval which, along with
some general and standard conditions for Special Use Permits, are detailed in the
Ordinance which will be provided to the City Council under separate cover. Of
particular note is condition #1 which suggests calls the establishment of an Advisory
Committee by the City Manager to consult with the hospital project team and City staff
during the design development process. The review process recommended going
forward provides for continued involvement of the Plan Commission and City Council in
the role of verifying that the plans for the various aspects of the project are consistent
with the Master Plan and conditions of approval.
Recommended Action: Grant first reading of an Ordinance approving a Special Use
Permit and the Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital Campus Master Plan subject to
conditions of approval as detailed in the Ordinance.

B. Award of contract for Lake Forest share of the 2012 Joint Annual Pavement Patching Contractual Program.
Staff recommended awarding the contract for Lake Forest share of the 2012 Joint Annual Pavement Patching Contractual Program
to Schroeder Asphalt Services, Inc. In 2010, the City tested all of its streets and developed a 5-yr Pavement Resurfacing Program.
The 5-yr list of streets is developed based on the pavement structural ranking, proximity of streets to be grouped together,
infrastructure projects planned on the street for a particular year, and other proactive approaches to ensure no other work is planned
on the particular street for a foreseeable future. At the March 19, 2012 budget meeting staff presented the Asphalt Management
Program to address the maintenance of the 120 center-lane miles of City owned roadways. By establishing an Asphalt
Management Program, the City is able to respond to resident calls on pothole repairs with a timeline and prioritization ranking based
on the structural number of pavement.
City staff will match the request to inform the resident whether the repair will be completed via the:
a) Annual Pavement Resurfacing Program, or
b) Included in the 5-yr Pavement Resurfacing Program, however the City will make temporary repairs for an easier riding
surface, or
c) Annual Pavement Patching Contractual Program, or
d) In-House Pavement Repairs Program
The Annual Pavement Patching Contractual Program helps in preventing long-term expensive pavement rehabilitation by repairing
sections of deteriorated roadway. This program, along with the In-house Pavement Repairs Program, is coordinated to ensure the
effectiveness of all three prioritized approaches. Each year during the spring season the Streets and Sanitation Section generates a
list of potholes or deteriorated sections of roadway. Each deteriorated section of pavement is entered into a database.
This database is matched against the list of streets in the Annual Pavement Resurfacing Program, the 5-yr Pavement Resurfacing
Program, the pavement’s structural number (both surface and base), and the width of the repair. The Streets and Sanitation Section
are capable of handling pavement repairs which are less than 11-ft wide due to the limitation of their equipment. The list of
deteriorated sections of roadway is prioritized for repair based on the above criteria and the allocated budget.
The Annual Pavement Patching Contractual Program provides the following benefits:
a) The pavement sections are repaired on a timely manner to avoid costly total street rehabilitation
b) The contractors are well versed in handling pothole repairs that are wider than 11-ft and have the equipment available to
manage the project efficiently and effectively
c) The pavement sections are prioritized in terms of depth of repair and the severity of the pavement sections
d) The contractors handling major repairs allow in-house crews to focus on minor repairs and address resident complaints in
an expedited manner
City Staff have previously briefed the Council on Municipal Partnership Initiative (MPI), a program that takes advantage of
economies of scale, for securing low bid prices, among neighboring municipalities who bid similar projects each year. This year, City
joined forces with Lake Bluff, Highland Park, and Lincolnshire to bid the 2012 Joint Annual Pavement Patching Contractual
Program. For this year’s program, Lincolnshire is the lead agency, on behalf of the four communities, bidding the joint contract.
All document tasks related to MPI portion and the Lake Forest portion of final engineering plans and joint bid contract documents
were done by in-house Engineering Staff. The joint contract bid specifications provided details on all three communities' respective
bid quantities to assist the winning contractor in planning this joint bid program.
Bids for the 2012 Joint Annual Pavement Patching Contractual Program were received and opened on May 22, 2012. A total of four
(4) firms bid the joint project. A summary of the bids received are as follows:
The following is a summary of the bids received:

Proceedings of the June 4, 2012
Regular City Council Meeting
BIDDER TOTAL MPI BID
Schroeder Asphalt Services, Inc. $322,861.75
Peter Baker & Son $351,054.30
Chicagoland Paving $499,978.60
Johnson Paving $547,069.00
Engineer’s Estimate $408,774.00
The breakdown of the Base Bid specific to Lake Forest bid items are summarized below:
BIDDER LAKE FOREST BID
Schroeder Asphalt Services, Inc. $114,066.35
Peter Baker & Son $133,595.70
Chicagoland Paving $171,183.80
Johnson Paving $206,283.00
Engineer’s Estimate $117,287.84
One of the objectives of the MPI was to take advantage of economies of scale and also the current economic environment. The
breakdown of asphalt prices are below:
PROJECT NAME YEAR LOW BIDDER COST 4”
ASPHALT PER SY
MPI Joint Annual Pavement Patching Contractual
Program 2012 $36.00
Lake Forest Pavement Patching Program 2011 $73.38
The comparison of the asphalt unit price for this year’s program over the previous year, when Lake Forest bid alone, does show
considerable savings.
The low bidder, Schroeder Asphalt Services, Inc. (Schroeder) has considerable experience working in Chicagoland on similar type
of projects. City staff checked the past performance of Schroeder on projects of similar size and scope and determined that their
performance was satisfactory. Based on references provided, Schroeder has been a successful contractor working for Lincolnshire,
Northbrook, Forest Park, and Warrenville. The Lake Forest share of the bid from Schroeder in the amount of $114,066.35 is lower
than the Engineer’s Estimate. Since the City received good competitive prices it is the recommendation of staff to award the project
for the budgeted amount of $120,000.00.
Upon award of the contract, all three municipalities will meet with the contractor to get a tentative schedule for each community. If
awarded, work on this project is expected to begin in June and be substantially completed by September. The remaining three
communities are scheduled to award their portion of the contract to Schroeder in the coming month at their respective Council or
Board meetings.
The Engineering staff will provide daily inspectional services oversight to minimize any potential complaints from residents.
Below is an estimated summary of Project budget:

C. Approval of the May 21, 2012 regular City Council minutes
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Omnibus items as presented.
Alderman Palmer moved, seconded by Alderman Novit to approve the Omnibus items as presented. The following voted “Yea”
Aldermen Novit, Waldeck, Pandaleon, Schoenheider, Tack, Palmer, and Adelman. The following voted “Nay” None. Motion carried.
ORDINANCES
1. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission in Support of Tentative and Final Plat Approval
of a 2-Lot Planned Preservation Subdivision, the Alderwood Subdivision, on Property Located on the West Side of
Waukegan Road, South of Regency Lane, Commonly Known as 1500 Waukegan Road. (Approval of a Motion Granting
Tentative and Final Plat Approval, Approval of an Ordinance Granting the Associated Special Use Permit)
In March, 2012, the Plan Commission considered a request from property owners Robert and Lynn Thurber for approval of a 2-lot
Planned Preservation Subdivision. The property proposed for subdivision totals just less than 9 acres and is currently developed
with one single family residence located on the western portion of the property. The property is accessed by a private driveway
which serves three existing lots to the north as well as the Thurber property. A previously excavated pond is located on the eastern
portion of this parcel and will be preserved as part of this subdivision to continue to buffer this area from Waukegan Road.
The property owners no longer live in Lake Forest and in marketing the property, they received interest from buyers in purchasing a
portion of the 9 acre lot. The proposed subdivision is in response to the expressed interest. The proposed subdivision creates two
parcels, 3.72 acres will remain with the existing house and a separate lot of just less than 4 acres will be established to the east and
will include the pond. Both lots will be accessed from the private driveway.
Tentative and final plat approvals are combined for this request at the recommendation of the Plan Commission given the small size
of the subdivision. Since the property is within the Historic Residential and Open Space Preservation District, a Special Use Permit
is required as well to approve this subdivision. The Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the subdivision
to the City Council. The conditions of approval, as recommended by the Plan Commission, are incorporated into the Ordinance.
The Commission did not receive any public comment on this request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve a motion granting tentative and final plat approval for the Alderwood Subdivision as
recommended by the Plan Commission.
And
Waive first reading and grant final approval of an Ordinance approving the associated Special Use Permit for the
Alderwood Subdivision and approving the conditions as recommended by the Plan Commission.

Campus continues its tradition as an important and prominent Lake Forest community institution for
generations to come.
The Master Plan establishes a forward thinking and durable framework for near and long term campus
revitalization. A critical component of the Plan is the need to replace the existing outdated inpatient
hospital facilities.
The Master Plan embodies a comprehensive and integrated vision that balances the Hospital’s near
and long-term needs with those of the community. The 160 acre campus plan is conceptualized
around three regions - North, Central and South Campuses. The North Campus is focused around
health and wellness activities with minimal growth. The Central Campus is the site of the new inpatient
hospital. The South Campus is to be re-purposed with a focus on medical education and research
with no growth in overall square footage anticipated.
A key aspect of the Plan is the Phase One relocation of the hospital inpatient clinical functions to
a new facility in the Central Campus by 2017. Once this has occurred, re-purposing of the South
Campus can begin. Longer-term future phases provide a framework for growth of healthcare services
in the Central Campus should the need emerge over the next 20 years.

CAMPUS VISION - PHASE ONE
As shown in Figure 1 - Illustrative Plan - Phase One, a key aspect of the Plan is the relocation of the
hospital inpatient clinical functions to a new facility in the Central Campus. The following provides
a Phase One vision for the revitalization of the Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital Campus over the
next five years. The Phase One vision is focused on planning for flexibility and adaptability to meet
the changing needs of the healthcare market, while respecting the history and tradition of the NLFH
Campus and Lake Forest community.
Key Aspects of Phase One
»North Campus focused on health and wellness
»Central Campus focused on health care
»Residential buffers and setbacks
»Full access for emergency response vehicles
»Preservation of wetlands
»Increased / improved campus access
A. HOSPITAL
The existing hospital’s physical plant is not suitable to support the evolving demands of healthcare
quality and technology. In order to provide expanded access to distinctive, top-tier subspecialty
clinical programs and physicians while delivering on Northwestern’s Patients First mission, Phase One
of the Master Plan is centered around the creation of a new state-of-the-art hospital facility in the
Central Campus. This new facility will:
»Serve Lake Forest and the growing community, ensuring top-notch access to care;
»Establish greater distance and buffers to the surrounding residential neighborhoods;
»Create full access for emergency vehicles, including fire and police departments, a functionality
that does not exist with the current Main Hospital building location;
»Be designed as a contemporary environment of care, built to current standards and safety codes;
»Include up to 500,000 square feet within a maximum of five stories above grade, containing
diagnostic and treatment services and inpatient rooms, along with basement and roof-level
mechanical and support functions. The scope of the new facility will be finalized pending
appropriate governmental approvals; and
»Be supported by additional parking to the north and west.
Following the construction of a new Central Campus Hospital facility, primary functions housed in the
current NLFH Main Hospital, including inpatient and outpatient medical and surgical services, patient
diagnostic, treatment and emergency services, and all necessary support services such as logistics,
dietary, security, housekeeping, and central storage shall be relocated from the current hospital. To
support the new replacement hospital, all utilities necessary, including emergency power, oxygen and
other medical gas services, fire prevention and suppression systems, heating, ventilating and cooling
systems and data system will be relocated and/or extended as necessary.
52
8 I NLFH Campus Master Land Use Plan MAY 2012
The new NLFH replacement hospital and its required ancillary facilities and features will be designed
and built to meet contemporary care delivery standards and all applicable regulatory requirements.
These standards and requirements include but are not limited to:
»City of Lake Forest Codes and Ordinances;
»Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act as administrated by Health Facilities and Services Planning
Board (HFSPB);
»Illinois Administrate Code Section 250 as administrated by the Illinois Department of Public Health
(IDPH);
»National Fire Protection Association codes and requirements (e.g. NFPA 101 Life Safety Code,
NFPA 99 Requirements for Healthcare Facilities, NFPA 90 Mechanical Heating and Ventilation
Standards and NFPA 13 Fire Suppression Systems);
»Office of the State Fire Marshall;
»Federal requirements such as those set by US Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Occupation Safety and Health
Agency (OSHA), US Justice Department Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the US Nuclear
Regulatory Agency; and
»Independent agencies that accredit hospitals, programs and services such as Joint Commission
on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), American College of Surgeons, American
College of Emergency Physicians, American College of Anesthesiologists, and many others not
listed here.
B. MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING
Within the Central Campus, to the south of the new Hospital building, the Master Plan envisions
the creation of a new three-story, medical office building of approximately 100,000 square feet.
A medical office building was originally approved as part of the Lake Forest Hospital Master Plan
Development 2000 – 2005. Additional parking or reconfiguration of existing lots is anticipated to serve
users of the medical office building.
C. HEALTH AND FITNESS BUILDING EXPANSION
Phase One also includes an expansion of up to 25,000 square feet to the North Campus Health and
Fitness Building. This expansion, in the form of a one or two story addition, would accommodate
conferencing, education and wellness uses. Two possible locations are shown for illustrative purposes
on Figure 1. The addition will be located on either the west or east side of the existing facility with the
preferred location to be determined during the design phase. Minimal parking expansion is necessary
as many of the users of the Health and Fitness Building are already on campus as users of the medical
facilities.
D. CIRCULATION
An overall goal of the Master Plan is to sustain a park-like feel that embraces health and wellness.
The Master Plan seeks to expand upon operational and environmental efficiencies through improved
auto, emergency vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian access and circulation. In order to provide
improved access into the campus from the east and the west, new right-in right-out intersections
are planned for Skokie Highway / Route 41 and for Waukegan Road / Route 43. The existing primary
campus entry at the intersection of Westmoreland Road and Deerpath also will be improved with
turn lane improvements, creating better access and traffic flow in all directions. Internal drives
will be incorporated to provide access to new campus facilities and parking areas while sidewalk
connections will create a more pedestrian-friendly environment for staff, patients, and visitors.
53
NLFH Campus Master Land Use Plan I 9MAY 2012
E. STRUCTURED PARKING
The Central Campus Hospital facility will be supported by additional parking to the north and west,
including a parking structure not to exceed three levels above grade. The existing grade will be
maintained to the greatest extent possible. Earth berming may be incorporated to minimize the
apparent height of the parking structure.
F. HELIPAD
The existing helipad located immediately north of the South Campus will remain in its current location.
No expansion physically or in terms of use is planned.

NLFH Campus Master Land Use Plan I 19MAY 2012
CAMPUS VISION - PHASE TWO
Beyond the Phase One improvements, the Master Plan contemplates re-use and re-purposing of the
South Campus on which the existing hospital building is located.
Key Aspects of Phase Two
»Re-purpose South Campus
»Structured parking
»Surface parking land bank
A. MEDICAL RESEARCH / EDUCATION
With the Phase One relocation of the hospital functions to a new facility in the Central Campus, NLFH
will re-purpose the South Campus for complementary medical research and education programs. It is
anticipated that the re-purposing of the South Campus for these uses will result in a capacity that is no
greater than it is today in terms of building square footage and floor-area-ratio. NLFH will conduct a
detailed existing Main Hospital reuse study and needs assessment in 2015 - 2017.
B. POWERPLANT CO-GENERATION EXPANSION
The existing Powerplant Co-Generation facility is ideally located within the interior of the NLFH campus,
away from surrounding residential properties. As the NLFH Campus grows and expands, an additional
10,000 square feet of Powerplant Co-Generation space may be necessary adjacent to the current
facility to meet the energy needs of both new and existing facilities. In the event that this expansion
is needed, NLFH will engage the City to explore possible community benefits for this resource. It is not
anticipated that additional parking will be needed to serve the Powerplant Co-Generation expansion.
C. PARKING STRUCTURE
As described in the Lake Forest Hospital Master Plan Development 2000 – 2005, there is ample room
for a parking structure east of the 900 Bays Medical Office building. The structure could help increase
available parking for the South Campus reuse as well as provide additional parking to serve the
proposed medical office building to the north. An area of land banked surface parking has been
identified if parking needs exceed the capacity of approved parking structures.
The existing surface parking lot located west of the 900 Bays Medical Office Building will be modified
to preserve a 200’ neighborhood buffer.

CAMPUS VISION - FUTURE PHASES
In addition to Phase One and Two improvements, the Master Plan also includes a framework for
longer term future growth and expansion of the Hospital. Integral to this vision is an addition to the
Central Campus hospital facility along with additional medical office space. By planning for future
development in the central and eastern portions of the campus, impacts of noise, views and lighting
will be minimized on surrounding residential areas. Figure 5 – Illustrative Plan - Future Phases outlines a
framework for additional facility improvements to be considered within a 20-year time frame.
Key Aspects of Future Phases
»Hospital expansion on Central Campus
»Medical office expansion
»Structured parking
A. HOSPITAL EXPANSION
In order to meet growing community medical needs, it is anticipated that up to a 150,000 square
foot addition to the Central Campus hospital may be necessary in the future. This expansion would
provide additional patient rooms as well as diagnostic and treatment space. The Central Campus
hospital addition also would require the development of additional parking areas in either surface or
structured formats.
B. MEDICAL OFFICE
As part of future Central Campus improvements, the Master Plan illustrates an additional 50,000 square
feet of medical office space to be located in close proximity to the Central Campus hospital facility.
Parking for the new medical office space would be provided by adjacent surface and/or structured
parking areas.
C. PARKING STRUCTURE
Additional parking to support future central campus expansion would be accommodated in an
additional parking structure or surface lots. An area of land banked surface parking has been
identified if parking needs exceed the capacity of approved parking structures.

It is not the intent to include stand alone retail or hotel establishments or uses unrelated to supporting
the core mission of the institution.
76
32 I NLFH Campus Master Land Use Plan MAY 2012
C. BUILDING SETBACKS AND PRESERVED OPEN SPACE
The Master Plan establishes generous building setback zones at the perimeters of the site. Figure
2 - Campus Use Areas illustrates the perimeter buffer areas for the north, central, and south
campus areas. Building setback standards are intended to preserve an adequate buffer between
future buildings and surrounding residential uses while helping to maintain existing significant
landscaped areas and providing space for enhanced buffers as appropriate. Established building
setbacks include 250 feet along Waukegan Road / Route 43, 200 feet to the north of the King
Muir neighborhood, 75 feet from Westmoreland Road along the north, and landscaped campus
entrances.
D. MINIMUM OPEN SPACE
Open space is defined as continuous space unobstructed by buildings, roads or parking lots but
including walkways, pedestrian gathering areas and bicycle paths. In order to provide a park-like
campus atmosphere, the Master Plan establishes a minimum open space percentage of 65% for the
entire site, with the following percentages for each campus area:
»North Campus – 75%
»Central Campus – 50%
»South Campus – 60%
»Overall – 65%
E. MAXIMUM STRUCTURED COVERAGE
Structured Coverage is defined as all land area that is covered by a building or other structure,
including parking garages. Acknowledging the City standard of 30% coverage, the Master Plan
recommends a maximum structured coverage percentage of 15% for the entire site, with the following
percentages for each campus area:
»North Campus – 10%
»Central Campus – 20%
»South Campus – 10%
»Overall – 15%
F. MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHTS
Proposed maximum building heights for the North, Central and South campuses are illustrated on
Figure 6 - Building Height Zones. With the exception of the new Central Campus hospital facility,
the proposed height of all other new construction on campus is consistent with that of surrounding
existing campus buildings. To accommodate a new state-of-the-art inpatient hospital building, the
Master Plan recommends a portion of the Central Campus allow taller building elements for vertically
stacking functions in recognition of operational, safety and best practice land use imperatives.
G. MAXIMUM FAR
Maximum floor area ratios (FAR) for the north, central and south campuses are listed below. Parking
structures are not included within FAR standards.
»North Campus – 0.10
»Central Campus – 0.30
»South Campus – 0.25
»Overall – 0.30

PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE CIRCULATION
As shown in Figure 7 - Bicycle Connections, along with an improved network of sidewalks and
pedestrian pathways, the Master Plan recommends analyzing ways to incorporate the NLFH Campus
into the larger City and Regional bicycle network. The intent is to create a viable connection
between the Middlefork Savanna Forest Preserve trail and Waukegan Road bicycle route to the west,
and the Skokie Valley Bike Path to the east. Parts of Westmoreland Road along with new campus
drives and pathways could be used in creating a more seamless bicycle connection while helping to
make NLFH facilities more accessible to the surrounding community. NLFH recognizes that the City of
Lake Forest is in the early stages of developing its Bicycle Master Plan and would like to collaborate
with the City in integrating the campus into that Plan.
As shown in Figure 8 - Walking Trails, the Master Plan envisions an expanded pedestrian trail system
to serve the entire campus and the larger community including Lake Forest Place residents. This trail
system will help link the geographically isolated Health and Fitness Center and Dearhaven Child care
and Learning Center with both existing and new hospital facilities to the south. Bicycle and walking
trails will remain open to Lake Forest residents and NLFH will encourage their use as an added benefit
to the community.
