Businesses Showcase Products and Services at Expo

Members, consumers and civic leaders from across the North Shore are invited to check out the latest products and services at the Chamber’s annual Expo and After Hours, featuring 50 exhibitors from the Northbrook, Glenview and the Deerfield Bannockburn Riverwoods (DBR) Chambers. In the convenience of one setting, attendees can network with over 400 guests, while learning more about everything from home building to health services, fitness to finances, to the latest trends in home products and tips on energy savings. At the Expo, guests can sample products or see live demonstrations, learn about the latest in technology, and discover some new ways to improve business efficiencies. With three Chambers participating in the event this year, the Expo is the ideal venue to expand your circle of professional contacts. Fabulous hospitality will be provided by the Wyndham in a festive setting. The Expo is a great way to learn more about businesses that are not always represented at other Chamber networking events. “There are so many diverse members in the Chamber; the Business Expo is an opportunity to learn more about many of them,” comments Sue Blue, Blue Life Coaching. At the Expo, attendees can check out some of the up and coming business trends. Lively, hands-on demonstrations feature innovative products from a variety of businesses, with plenty of samples and giveaways. It is also a great way to meet the owners and managers of prominent area businesses, without the formality of a scheduled appointment.

Village Establishes Guidelines for Food Trucks in NorthbrookOwners of food trucks and ice cream trucks now have a clear set of rules to follow when doing business in Northbrook. An ordinance unanimously approved by the Village board identifies three tiers of mobile food service and outlines the license, location and operational regulations that all must adhere to while operating within the Village. The newly adopted guidelines were developed after several months of discussion involving a Village Board subcommittee, school districts, restaurant owners and the Chamber. The ordinance holds food trucks to the same public health standards as restaurants, and strikes a balance between the interests of the mobile trucks and the established brick and mortar restaurants. The three new classifications are 1) trucks that sell pre-packaged ice cream 2) trucks that sell hot or cold pre-packaged food (such as a donut or cupcake cart) and 3) trucks selling hot or cold prepared to order food (including hot dogs or other specially made items often sold at lunchtime). All the food trucks are subject to the same standards as traditional restaurants and will undergo inspections throughout the year and each has a licensing fee ranging from $70 to $210. Ice cream trucks can park and operate on any public street in the Village, but must be at least 500 feet away from the entrance to any restaurant. They can park on a private lot, but only with the owner’s (written) permission. All other types of food trucks are not allowed to park and serve food on public streets in Northbrook with the exception of Meadow Road and Sunset Ridge Road. They can also park in private lots with permission. Both the ice cream trucks and food trucks are required to park

There’s no doubt about it – summer is definitely a busy time in Northbrook and this year is no exception. The great weather brings everyone out for summer festivals, fairs and community events. There are wonderful music concerts, popular

art fairs, numerous outdoor recreational opportunities and perennial favorites including sidewalk sales. As part of its mission, the Chamber partners with the Village to spread the word about all of these events and activities. Through our community guide, newsletter and Live Shop Dine program, we play an important role in celebrating all that our great community has to offer. I encourage you to check out some of the summer events and activities listed in this newsletter and in our other publications, and take advantage of all that is offered right in our own backyard. Another great pastime is enjoying the

exceptional and diverse restaurants here in Northbrook. At every shopping destination in the Village, you will find no shortage of places to enjoy either a quick bite to eat or a fine dining experience. These restaurants have invested in our community and pay property taxes that support many wonderful amenities. I was glad to have an opportunity to speak up for these important businesses during the recent deliberations on food trucks. With input from all interested parties, I was pleased that we were able to forge a compromise that will make sure that mobile food trucks will have the opportunity to fairly compete with brick and mortar restaurants. We’re very excited this year to add a third Chamber for the upcoming Business Expo. This new partnership with the Glenview Chamber will bring additional energy to an already very successful event. Not only will you see some new exhibitors this year, but the wider circle of attendees will allow you to broaden your networking opportunities. So if you are a long-time attendee, or have never attended in the past, please mark your calendar and come out and join us for a terrific night!

Groundbreaking Planned for 770 Skokie ProjectAfter nearly two of years deliberations, numerous public hearings, planning meetings with the Village and community input, developers of the mixed use project at the intersection of Skokie and Dundee, expect to break ground this month. 770 North Shore, which many consider to be the gateway into Northbrook, will include 100,000 square feet of commercial space, anchored by a Mariano’s grocery store, and an 8 and 9 story, 347 unit upscale apartment building. According to Morningside Crossroads Development VP Brian Pawlik, once the closing on the property is complete, the project will begin to mobilize, starting with fencing along the perimeter and grading of the site. Contractors will dig a pond to install a wastewater detention vault in the center of the property, as part of the required stormwater detention work. Once that is complete, the project will move forward rapidly, he notes. The next phase will be to dig basements for the residential foundations. Construction on the two level parking garage will begin for the residences as well. The most dramatic part of the project will

be the construction of the 71,000 square foot Mariano’s grocery store, which is expected to open in the fall of 2015. All of the permits and approvals are in place, according to Pawlik except for the separate zoning requirements for the Panera Bread and PNC Bank. The Architectural Control Commission and the Plan Commission will look at the elevations and confirm that they fit in with the development. At a recent board meeting, Trustees approved a final design of the sign that will simply say “Northbrook.” The Village’s Architectural Control Commission approved the gateway feature which is a wall constructed of Hardie board, that will maintain a wood-grain appearance, with white lettering. The sign will be surrounded by vegetation. The $4.9 million TIF funds will be used to pay for infrastructure, site improvements and for relocating Zengeler Cleaners to the site, according to Pawlik. More information about the project can be found on www.northshore770.com.

at least 500 feet from the property line on which any public event takes place. Special events include fairs, carnivals, festivals or civic events that have received a special permit from the Village. Little Louie’s Red Hots owner Pete Weiss commented that he felt the new rules are fair and balanced. “I’m not anti-food trucks, I am just anti- trucks parked in front of my store,” he says. Weiss plans to operate his own food truck “Louie B. Fresh” this summer, mostly at summer farmers markets and other area festivals and fairs. Village Trustee Todd Heller commented that the food trucks could provide synergies in the vicinity of existing restaurants, with someone purchasing food from a food

truck who might also then head to a nearby restaurant for a different food item. He and other Trustees agreed that the rules will be re-evaluated next year to see if there needs to be any adjustment. For more information visit www.northbrook.il.us/foodtrucks.

Village Publishes Guide for Opening A RestaurantTo aid business owners interested in locating a restaurant in Northbrook, the Village Development & Planning Services Department recently published a Guide to Opening a Restaurant in Northbrook. The guide provides information on zoning, business licensing, permits, site design and other elements specific to food establishments. The guide was put together following feedback from the Village’s Industrial and Commercial Development Committee. It also includes helpful information for current restaurant owners. The guide is a companion piece to “Guide to Operating a Business in Northbrook.” To download either guide, visit www.northbrook.il.us
