B
Don't
believe
we
weren't
sure
if
joe
was
going
to
be
joeth
rockmorton
was.
B
Going
to
be
on
so
he
may
be
popping
on,
but
we'll
go
ahead
without
him:
okay,
okay,
so.
A
The
meeting
minutes
from
our
june
meeting,
we
will
review
those
and
vote
on
them
to
approve
them.
A
Next
month,
I
want
to
extend
a
warm
welcome
to
susan
sandberg,
even
though
this
is
just
her.
A
Kind
of
visiting
hearing-
and
you
will
be
leaving
us
at
about
six
o'clock
this
evening-.
A
B
B
Us
and
round
us
out
as
five
and
that's
about
it,
and
if
you
are
watching
this
on
cats,
there
has.
A
Haven't
been
on
a
hearing
yet
through
the
city
of
bloomington,
when
it
comes
time
to
speak.
A
A
F
The
roughly
20
acre
property
is
located
again
at
2300
west.
F
F
As
you
can
see
here
in
the
drawing,
the
proposed
setback
is
for
the
748
square
foot.
F
Addition
to
the
existing
structure
is
25
feet
from
the
rear
property
line.
F
So
that's
a
35
foot
encroachment.
The
proposed
edition
will
allow
an
increase
in
living
space.
F
The
addition
will
feature
similar
architectural
design
elements
to
the.
F
The
the
barn
is
about
2200
square
feet.
The
shed
is
about
200
square
feet.
F
F
Property
line
again,
this
property
is
also
outside
of
the
city's
jurisdictional
boundaries.
F
The
resulted
of
the
requested
variants
for
from
the
rear
building
setback
in
the
re
district.
F
F
F
F
F
F
Of
the
18
20
and
then
there's
some
conditions
hang
on
sorry.
F
A
F
Messed
up
in
the
scene:
okay,
okay,
just
wanted
to
clarify.
Thank
you
petitioner's
representative.
A
A
Petition,
okay,
I
I
really
don't
think
that's
going
to
be
necessary.
I.
E
Anything
else
this
house
has
been
here
since
1830
and
was
originally
on
contiguous,
almost.
E
2
000
acres
and
through
subsequent
subdivisions
and
sales,
we
bought
the
19.7
or
something
acres.
E
E
Primarily
so
we
can
age
in
place,
we
never
we
needed
a
downstairs
bathroom.
We
tried.
E
E
E
E
E
E
That
way,
I
can't
I
can't
do
that.
I
can't
make
it
any
different
from
that,
and
and
so
in
that.
E
And
so
we
we
prefer
not
to
have
to
go
out
in
the
snow
to
do
our
laundry
in
the
cellar.
So
we've.
E
Enclosed
that
into
we
want
to
enclose
that
into
the
addition
to
make
it
more
convenient
for
us.
E
So
those
that's
the
rationale
for
the
addition
and
its
location,
the
other,
the
other.
E
So
I
can't
do
I'm
not
going
to
tear
down
a
barn
and
a
garage
to
meet
square
footage
requirements.
E
Fact
that
I
have
too
much
square
footage,
just
that's
it's
a
it's
a
crime
of
no
intent.
If
you.
E
A
A
The
cumulative
issue,
because
it
was
just
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
situation.
F
Square
footage:
it
already
exceeded
that,
and
so
it
when
it
was
previously
zoned
as
em.
It.
F
The
switch
and
zoning
actually
makes
it
so
that
the
accessory
structures
need
to
be
legitimized.
F
F
That
would
allow
it
and
then
there
therefore,
once
that
became
a
district,
that
it
would
allow.
F
F
District,
so
if
I
can
interject
jackie
scanlan
development
services
manager,
so
the
re-zone
is.
B
B
That
they
could
not
meet
so
you're
right
if,
if
they
were
doing
this
addition-
and
they
were.
A
No
okay,
seeing
none
we're
too
any
any
member
of
the
public
who
would
like
to
speak
to
that.
A
G
I
move
that
we
adopt
the
proposed
findings
and
recommend
the
and
excuse
me
and
approve.
G
V18
v
18-20,
with
the
three
conditions
listed.
Second,
you
have
a
second
okay,
okay,.
B
B
H
H
Is
a
request
for
the
stage
yard
apartments
they're
requesting
a
variance
to
allow
ground.
H
H
H
Of
smith,
just
south
of
third
just
north
of
the
prospect
school,
this
used
to
the
k
or
contain.
H
A
multi-tenant
center
they
had
rhinos
in
there
various
other
one-story
commercial
buildings.
H
It
was
demolished
site
plan.
Approval
was
given
three
years
ago
two
three
years
ago,.
H
Building
the
building
contained
ground
floor
parking
and
retail
space
with
apartments
above.
H
Contain
at
least
50
of
that
ground
floor
the
site
plan
showed
that
the
building
was
constructed.
H
To
all
those
standards,
so
everything
was
built
and
constructed
according
to
all
of
the
approvals.
H
H
So
the
petitioners
are
requesting
a
variance
in
order
to
allow
for,
as
I
said,
all
of
the
ground.
H
Floor
to
be
converted
into
residential
units,
they've
submitted
a
floor
plan.
H
H
So
the
petitioners
are
requesting
a
variance
to
allow
for
all
those
ground
floor
units.
So
we.
H
H
About
this
specific
property
than
any
of
the
other
commercial
properties
within
the
downtown.
H
Everybody
is
kind
of
feeling
the
pinch
from
being
able
to
find
commercial
tenants.
So
it's.
H
H
Within
the
downtown,
however,
as
I
mentioned,
we
did
not
find
that
there
is
anything
specific.
H
To
the
the
udo
to
allow
for
flexibility,
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
this
strain,
this
problem
is.
H
Deny
the
petition
per
staff
report
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
now
to
the
petitioner's
representative.
A
Craig
we'll
start
with
you,
okay,
thank
you.
Please
state
your
name,
craig
mccormick.
I
Is
is
fairly
accurate.
Our
our
client
has
done
an
analysis
kind
of
based
on.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
To
the
third
proposed
finding,
generally
speaking,
I
think
that
we
have
invested
a
lot
in
this.
I
I
Floor
space,
my
client
virgin
held
and
the
the
entity,
that
is,
the
ownership
entity
of
the.
I
I
I
I
I
Is
certainly
to
to
put
a
commercial
tenant
into
the
spaces
it
it?
I
can
tell
you
just.
I
J
A
Okay,
we
are
to
the
board
for
questions.
Am
I
seeing
cassandra's
there.
A
A
And
the
50,
the
50
of
the
ground
floor
space
is
non
is
is
to
be
non-residential.
Is
that
how.
A
It's
defined,
that's
what
the
requirement
was
at
the
time
that
this
was
approved.
Yes,.
A
To
address
the
situation,
that'll
be
ongoing
for
the
rest
of
this
year
and
into
next
year.
I
A
G
Mentioning
is
that
you're
recently
opened
just
six
months
ago.
I
I
C
Eric
I
have
a
question,
so
this
project
was
approved
in
2017,
and
so
it
was
approved
with
the.
C
C
Difference
or
are
we
are
the
standards
the
same,
so
the
udo
actually
lays
out
a
specific.
H
C
C
K
Of
the
petitioner,
if
I
could
just
add
to
that
you've
heard
mentioned
already
of
contemplated.
K
Or
intended
revisions
to
the
text
of
the
udo
coming
up,
that
would
that
would
fit
this
situation.
K
Right
on
the
nose,
it
would
fit
it
right,
I'm
sorry!
So
this
is
so
the
petitioner
will
have.
H
K
A
K
K
Concerns
and
you've
you've
seen
reference
to
analysis
that
we've
made
and
you
all
drive
around.
K
K
Improvement
to
a
to
a
property
that
has
this
peculiar
situation
going
on
right
now,
and
so
I.
K
H
Absolutely
you
and
you're
correct.
That
is
one
of
the
one
of
the
essential
components.
H
And
so
when
zoning
codes
are
written
and
a
broad
series
of
standards
are
adopted
for
the.
H
H
Five
thousand
or
fifty
thousand
or
whatever
that
you
know
doesn't
allow
it
to
meet.
H
H
H
It's
you
know,
different
types
of
standards
are
difference
on
what
makes
something
unique.
H
A
I'm
sorry
from
the
commissioners,
I
have
a
question
yeah
eric.
Can
you
speak
to
what
that.
H
H
The
gist
of
it
is
to
allow
for
situations
in
the
downtown
if
people
want
to
convert
existing.
H
L
For
planning
in
the
bza,
I
would
caution
the
board
members
strongly
against
anticipating
what.
L
L
C
Bring
up
as
well,
we
went
through
an
extensive
time
of
considering
the
udl
with
several
hearings.
C
And
hours
and
hours
of
work
to
get
the
udo
approved
as
a
as
it
is
at
this
point,
so
I
I
do.
C
Not
consider
any
amendment
amendments
to
it
or
variances
to
it
lightly,
since.
C
With
kovid
19,
but
that
situation
is
also
temporary.
We
are
not
going
to
be.
C
And
I
understand
that
economic
situations
will
will
have
to
catch
up.
C
A
Commissioners
of
staff
or
petitioner,
if
not,
we
are
going
to
turn
on
to
the
public.
Is
there
anyone.
A
A
I
That
could
be
given
with
a
a
finite
time
applied
to
it.
For
instance,
this
variance
may
be
allowed.
I
For
a
period
of
five
years,
or
something
like
that,
so
variances
are
not
are
not
precedent.
Setting.
H
So
those
are
evaluated
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
If
there's
a
hardship
now,
then
you
know.
H
That
hardship
is
undeniable,
so
no
there's
not
a
time
basis
for
a
hardship.
A
hardship
is
permanent.
I
Okay,
eric
excuse
me,
this
is
your
opportunity
to
speak,
so
I
will
let
you
finish
any
further.
A
I
Analysis
of
what
we
can
and
cannot
do,
based
on
the
letter
of
the
writing
of
the
udo,
it
appears
to.
I
I
Have
to
meet
the
letter
of
the
ordinance
to
try
to
occupy
the
space
in
the
short
term
I
mentioned.
I
That,
just
as
a
point
of
information
as
as
this
gets
considered,
my
hope
is
certainly
that.
A
Okay,
so
we
are
back
to
the
board
for
for
discussion
and
action.
F
F
A
M
M
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
I'll
I'll,
just
respond
that
our
our
our
job
on
the
bza
is
pretty
specific.
A
Review
and
we
don't-
we
don't
make
law,
we
don't
we
just.
We
are
an
interpretive.
A
And
so
that's
that
really
is
our
only
our
only
function
here
and
it
does
to
me.
A
Unprecedented
conditions
for
the
market,
and
if,
if
the
city
feels
that
it
is.
A
That
is
happening,
and
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
our
role
as
bca
commissioners
is
very
specific.
A
That's
in
front
of
us
at
this
point,
we
can't
really
weigh
away
those
kind
of
design
options.
C
Yeah
we're
I
mean
I'm
in
agreement.
Of
course,
what
you're
saying
and
I
appreciate
the.
C
G
To
be
successful,
but
it
it
just
in
this
case,
doesn't
meet
the
criteria
necessary
for
a
variance.
A
Any
further
discussion:
okay,
a
vote
please
so
a
a
vote,
yes,
is
for
denial
just
to
clarify.
M
A
Okay,
lastly,
we
are
hearing
case
v-21-20.
H
Probably
a
good
place,
so
this
is
a
request
for
hillside
manors
at
the
southwest
corner
of.
H
Hillside
and
huntington
drive,
the
property
is
owned.
Residential
multi-family
recently.
H
80
years
ago,
something
like
that,
however
thornton
drive
was
not
in
constructed,
it
is.
H
H
But
due
to
topography
and
just
lack
of
need,
it
was
never
extended
and
connected
along
the
south.
H
Front
for
setback
purposes,
so
the
need
for
the
variance
from
the
front
parking
setback,
standards.
H
H
H
As
well
as
from
huntington
set
back
more
than
20
feet
back
from
the
huntington.
H
That
it's
requiring
this
variance,
so
the
other
variants
is
related
to
a
section
of.
H
H
The
creek
that
runs
underneath
huntington
drive
there's
a
culvert
that
runs
underneath
there.
H
As
well
as
a
headwall
and
there's
just
simply
not
enough
room,
given
the
topography
there.
H
Sidewalk
along
just
that
far
southeast
tip
of
the
site,
so
they
would
be
installing
the
sidewalk.
H
Along
hillside
drive
in
huntington
drive
is
required,
but
it
would
stop
about
20
feet
or
so.
H
H
So
the
the
building
does
meet
all
of
the
other
plank
requirements
instead
go
to
the
plane.
H
Drive
frontage,
so
with
that,
we
are
recommending
approval
of
the
variance
request
with
the.
H
A
D
No,
it's
eric
laid
it
out.
Pretty
simply,
these
lots
originally
along
hillside,
were.
D
1949,
because
you
can
see
the
old
railroad
right
away,
that
doesn't
have
any
tracks
in
it
and
it
was.
D
D
D
D
The
parking
lot
exists
because
those
lots
still
go
back.
Some
of
the
lots
are
to
the
west
of
that.
D
Have
actually
been
subdivided
in
the
past
and
we
could
subdivide
this
and
and
create
a
allowable.
D
D
That
eric
had
the
the
swale
that
runs
through
the
drainage
area
has
riparian
buffer
on
both.
D
D
No
way
to
actually
put
a
building
on
that
either.
So
and
I
think
in
the
staff
report
and
in
my.
D
Petitioner's
statement
should
that
drive
ever
get
extended,
there'll
be
a
permanent
160-foot.
D
Aerial
is
is
wooded
and
will
remain
that
way
on
the
sidewalk
variants
or
determinate
sidewalk.
D
D
We
can
physically
build
it
or
propose
to
build
it,
so
ask
for
your
consideration.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
commissioners
for
questions
of
the
staff
or
petitioner.
A
No
questions,
okay,
then
we
are
to
the
public.
Is.
C
As
I
studied
the
site,
it's
a
pretty
unique
site
with
the
creek
going
through
in
a
diagonal.
C
An
creative
solution
to
put
the
building
on
the
site
can
I
still
ask
a
question
of
staff.
G
H
Is
not
being
required
now,
the
installation
of
the
sidewalk
that
is,
but
it
could
be
required
at
a.
H
Later
time,
so
it's
not
a
permanent
variance.
You
know,
as
I
said,
there
could
just
be
required
at.
H
A
later
time
when
situation
changes,
maybe
there's
a
sidewalk
installed
along
a
longer
portion
of.
H
G
G
Too
many
pieces
of
paper
here
we
go.
