C
C
C
A
D
D
D
D
Lot
of
environmental
impacts,
so
the
petitioner
is
balancing
both
the
reuse
of
the
property,
as
well
as
some
of
the
environmental,
cleanup
and
mediation
that
needs
to
happen
on
this
site.
With
all
of
the
adjacent
street
frontages
that
surround
this
property,
the
petitioner
has
located
the
parking
areas.
D
So
once
that
letter
of
map
revision
was
accomplished
for
the
floodplain,
they
set
out
with
designing
the
overall
site
itself
and,
as
I
mentioned,
they've
located
the
parking
areas
on
the
periphery
and
all
of
the
elements
of
the
design
features
on
the
center
portion
of
the
property.
So
the
petitioners
are
here
tonight
to
request
a
package
of
variances.
They
are
requesting
a
use
variance
in
order
to
allow
for
a
draw
a
parking
area
in
the
floodway.
They
are
requesting
a
conditional
use
approval
in
order
to
allow
for
parking
in
the
floodway
fringe.
D
D
D
Of
the
west
branch
of
clear
creek
that
runs
through
this
site,
they
are
also
requesting
a
variance
from
the
entrance
and
drive
standards
for
a
proposed
drive
on
the
west
side
of
the
site,
so
I'll,
just
kind
of
briefly
step
through
some
of
these
variances.
So
you
can
get
an
idea
of
what
is
involved
with
each
one
of
them
and
I'll
start
on
the
west
side
of
the
site
for
the
entrance
and
drive
standards.
Variance
the
unified
development
ordinance
does
not
allow
drive,
cuts
to
be
wider
than
34
feet.
The.
D
D
D
Or
to
maximize
pedestrian
safety
as
they
as
they
cross
drives,
so
the
incorporation
of
the
boulevard
provides
a
pedestrian
refuge
as
sorts
to
help
give
them
a
space
so
that
they're
not
having
across
the
entire
60
feet
and
one
run.
It
provides
a
safety
barrier
for
them
and
a
place
for
them
to
cross
safely.
So
we've
been.
D
Variances
or
two
of
the
other
variances
are
related
to
the
right
parian
buffer.
These
are
on
the
west
side
of
the
site,
again
just
adjacent
to
the
parking
area,
and
this
is
along
the
west
branch
of
clear
creek.
So
the
unified
development
ordinance
does
not
allow
disturbance
within
75
feet
of
the
top
of
bank
of
both
sides
of
a
stream.
So
the
exhibit
that
you
can
see
on
screen
that
was
also
included
in
the
packet
lays
out
those
three
graduated
buffer
distances
that
total
75
feet
so.
D
D
Areas
on
the
site,
not
just
the
portions
of
the
parking
in
the
riparian
buffer
or
the
portions
in
the
floodplain,
but
all
of
the
parking
on
the
site
will
be
finished
with
permeable
pavers.
This
was
something
not
only
that
came
from
staff,
but
also
something
that
was
important
to
the
parks
department
to
help
set
kind
of
a
an
ideal
scenario
of
how
we
would
like
parking
lots
to
be
designed
to
maximize
water
infiltration,
minimize
impervious.
D
D
D
D
Beavers
that
have
been
in
this
area
that
have
dammed
up
the
that
runs
underneath
the
b-line
trail
that
runs
into
clear
creek.
So
it's
been
an
ongoing
area
of
cleanup
and
and
remediation
over
the
past
several
years,
so
the
petitioners
will
be
placing
a
small
amount
of
fill
in
that
area
to
allow
for
a
trail
to
go
through
there
and
as
a
result
of
that
through
state
and
federal
requirements.
They
must
remediate
that
disturbance
area.
D
So
they
will
be
remediating
that
just
to
the
east
of
this,
where
they
will
be
daylighting
a
section
of
the
west
branch
of
clear
creek,
where
it
is
currently
contained
within
a
culvert.
So
that
is,
that
is
certainly
a
very
good
environmental
trade-off
there
of
opening
up
a
creek
that
is
in
a
culvert
so
that
it
can
be
exposed
to
fresh
air
in
daylight
and
accomplish
all
of
the
things
that
creeks
are
meant
to
establish.
So
they
will
be
daylighting
that
creek
there,
and
that
is,
as
a
result.
D
Of
our
zoning
code
riparian
buffer
standards,
they
would
not
be
allowed
to
disturb
that
that
creek
bed
in
the
culvert
area,
so
that
is
being
folded
into
the
right,
parian
buffer
variants.
In
order
to
allow
for
the
creek
to
be
delighted
going
on
to
the
parking
on
the
north
side
of
the
site.
As
I
mentioned,
two
of
the
variances,
the
use
variance
and
the
conditional
use
requests
are
related
to
the
parking
that
is
in
the
floodway
and
the
floodway
fringe.
This
is
on
the
north
side
of
the
side
adjacent
to
grimes.
D
D
City
will
be
greatly
improving
the
stormwater
runoff
in
this
area.
As
a
result
of
this,
the
stormwater
runoff
currently
just
drains
sheet
flows
off
of
the
site
into
the
the
creek,
with
no
sort
of
stormwater
measures
whatsoever.
So
this
petition
will
allow
for
all
of
the
stormwater
that
hits
this
site
to
be
collected
and
stormwater
inlets
and
rain
gardens
that.
D
They
will
also
be
installing
landscaping,
as
required
along
the
east
side
of
the
parking
lot,
so
there
will
be
great
improvements
to
the
site
as
a
whole.
As
a
result
of
this,
the
conditional
use
approval
is
to
allow
parking
in
the
floodway
fringe,
and
the
you
do
sets
this
out
as
a
conditional
use
with
the
stipulation
that
the
parking
be
constructed
solely
of
permeable
pavers,
which
I
mentioned.
They
are
meeting
that
that
aspect
of
it,
one
of
the
other
variances
that
is
being
requested.
D
D
This
park
is
being
designed
to
accomplish
a
wide
range
of
features
and
provide
a
lot
of
amenities,
not
typically
associated
with
a
typical
park.
So
while
we,
the
petitioners
and
staff,
have
certainly
noticed
a
high
need
for
parking
at
some
of
the
parks
just
based
on
the
the
passive
uses
that
are
there
with
some
of
the
more
active
uses
that
are
on
this
site,
the
large
events
that
are
being
planned
for
this
site.
D
It
was
very
important
to
provide
parking
on
this
site
as
there
really
isn't
any
on
street
parking
that
can
be
utilized
to
absorb
any
overflow,
and
we
certainly
didn't
want.
You
know,
hi
events
to
call
spillover
parking
in
any
of
the
adjacent
neighborhoods.
So
the
petitioners
are
requesting
to
allow
for
386
parking.
D
D
D
Street
that
will
be
preserved
with
this
petition
is
an
existing
industrial
building
that
will
be
preserved
on
the
site.
However,
some
of
the
proposed
parking
will
be
located
and
in
front
of
that
building
and
the
petitioners
have
located
all
of
the
parking
on
the
property
in
order
to
meet
the
front
parking
setback
first,
trying
to
avoid
all
areas
of
the
floodplain
and
riparian
buffer.
D
D
Environmental
remediation
that
needs
to
occur
as
well
as
a
lot
of
unique
features
through
the
site
that
do
require
some
variances.
In
order
to
allow
for
its
redevelopment.
The
growth
policies
plan
certainly
encouraged
the
redevelopment
of
the
mcgill
switchyard
for
a
community
park,
and
the
redevelopment
of
this
will
benefit.
Not
only
the
citizens
of
bloomington,
but
also
the
surrounding
communities
as
a
whole
is
a
very
unique
amenity
for
the
city
that
the
administration
and
the
citizens.
D
F
A
F
F
F
D
Well
as
landscaping
and
a
public
sidewalk
along
that
frontage
as
well
we're
continuing
to
work
with
them
on
some
of
the
specifics
of
the
sidewalk
along
there.
There's
a
portion
where
the
creek,
the
west
branch
of
clear
creek
cuts
underneath
roger
street
that
we're
still
trying
to
work
out
the
specifics
of
the
design
of
that.
But,
yes,.
D
D
Can
can
speak
on
this
a
little
bit
as
well
and
they
still
feel
that
it
is
under
parked
for
the
big
events
that
they
are
foreseeing
for
this
site.
You
know
when
we
looked
at
you
know.
The
brian
park
is
is
certainly
an
example
of
areas
that
get
used
very
heavily,
especially
there
in
the
summertime.
The
parking
areas
are
completely
filled
up
both
on
the
park
side,
as
well
as
the
swimming
pool
side,
so
the
the
five
spaces
per
acre.
D
D
D
Spaces
per
acre
and,
like
I
said
it's
based
on
you,
know
a
typical
active
park,
but
this
is
something
more
than
that.
You
know
this
is
something
that
people
from
outside
the
community
are
going
to
be
coming
to.
It's,
not
just
people
that
live
right
next
to
here,
but
people
from
all
over
the
place.
So
all
certainly
on
is
on
the
b-line
trail
and
they
will
be
encouraging
bicyclists
and
pedestrians
activity.
They
do
need
to
park
people
and.
D
The
high
activity
events
and
the
lack
of
any
spillover
parking
on
surrounding
streets
really
presented
the
hiney
that
they
need
to
have
more
parking,
and
you
know
like
I
said
they
would
want
to
have
more,
but
you
know
working
within
the
environmental
constraints
and
all
of
the
other
setbacks.
You
know
it
kind
of
just
laid
itself
out.
Okay,
thank
you
for
what.
D
D
D
D
D
D
A
F
F
A
D
D
Roger
street
does
have
a
side
path
on
the
west
side
of
the
street
and
a
sidewalk
along
the
east
side
of
the
street.
As
I
mentioned,
you
know
we
certainly
want
to
have
a
lot
of
promote
a
lot
of
pedestrian
and
bicyclist
using
the
site.
They've
got
these
limestone
blocks,
which
are
the
the
large
rectangles
that
you
see
now
any
landscaping
will
be
set
back
further
from
those
so
that
you
do
have
open
line-of-sight
along
all
of
that
and
that's
something
that
we're
still
continuing
to
work
with
them.
D
D
D
D
You
know
the
amount
of
time
and
traffic
using
it
is
pretty
consistent
over
the
days.
You
know.
Certainly
you're
gonna
have
more
a
little
bit
later
in
the
afternoons
and
evenings,
but
with
the
multiple
access
points
to
the
park
as
a
whole,
you
know
both
of
rogers
and
grimes
and
walnut
street.
You
know,
although
there
will
be
a
lot
of
parking
on
the
roger
street
side,
you
know,
I
think,
all
three
sides
of
it
will
kind
of
help
disperse
the
traffic
input
and
output.
A
That
it's
just
very
exciting
the
whole
park
and
I
think
it's
fantastic.
I
think
that
you
are
gonna,
have
some
problems
with
roger
street
and
anything
you
can
do
to
ameliorate.
That
long
term
would
be
helpful.
The
community
too,
because
I
think
it's
just
going
to
be
a
premier
project
and
bloomington.
So
your
comment.

A
H

H
H
H
H
H
H
Inch
and
a
half
letter,
you
guys,
are
probably
the
right
distance
about
14
or
15
feet.
This
is
what
you're,
seeing
and
you're
looking
at
it
straight
on
you're,
not
looking
at
it
20
feet
in
the
air
and
you're,
not
moving
35
miles
an
hour
when
you're
looking
at
it.
So
the
proper
size
sign
is
essential.
We're
not
asking
for.

C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
Landscaping
variance
one
of
the
conditions
that
landscaping
variance
was
a
row
of
evergreen
trees
and
evergreen
shrubs
along
the
north
side
of
the
display
area.
North
side
of
the
parking
lots,
those
trees
and
shrubs
are
going
to
be
moved.
They're
going
to
moved
elsewhere
on
the
property
to
combine
this
into
one
unified
sites,
as
well
as
to
create
a
natural,
green
water.
C
Different
than
other
kinds
of
parking,
lots
and
other
kinds
of
commercial
developments,
there
are
tree
preservation
requirements.
The
there
are
trees
on
the
lots,
but
the
trees
are
in
the
backside
of
the
lot.
There
are
a
couple
of
small
cars
features
on
the
property,
but
again
those
are
on
the
back
side
of
the
property,
pushing
all
development
further
in
front
and
further
closer
to
the.
C
C
C
A
J
A
D
Over
old
national
and
built
another
office
just
to
the
east
of
this,
so
the
site
has
sat
empty.
The
college
mall
is
just
to
the
south
east
of
this.
To
the
north
is
a
cvs
to
the
northwest.
You've
got
a
red
lobster
and
then
to
the
west
on
the
west
side
of
the
bypass.
If
you
have
some
gas
stations
and
fast-food
restaurants,
so
the
petitioner
old.
D
National
bank,
but
more
specifically
burger
king,
is
looking
at
redeveloping
the
site.
I
should
also
point
out
that
the
site
does
have
a
large
stormwater
culvert
that
runs
kind
of
diagonal
through
the
property,
which
is
why
the
old
national
bank,
as
well
as
the
drive-thru
lanes,
are
separated
from
the.
D
D
Petitioners
perspective
petitioners
would
like
to
redevelop
the
site
with
a
burger
king
restaurant,
and
they
are
here
tonight
to
request
three
variances.
The
variances
being
requested
are
from
the
maximum
number
of
parking
spaces
allowed
from
the
building
setback
requirement
and
from
the
parking
setback
requirement.
D
In
doct
several
years
ago,
when
they
were
improvements
to
this
intersection,
so
created
kind
of
a
unique
shape
to
the
property
as
well
as
the
property
is
also
a
little
bit
unique
in
that
it
does
have
split
zoning
on
the
property.
The
west
side
is
zoned,
commercial,
arterial
and
the
east
side
is
zoned,
planned
unit
development
and,
as
part
of
the
the
college
mall
pud.
D
D
Building
setback
requirement,
as
I
mentioned,
is
somewhat
related
or
not
somewhat,
is
related
to
the
shape
of
the
property
and,
specifically
the
northwest
corner,
that's
kind
of
been
chunked
off
from
the
right-of-way
acquisition
that
has
happened,
so
the
petitioners
are
requesting
to
allow
for
the
northwest
corner
to
encroach
about
three
four
feet
into
that
setback.
This
is
being
requested
in
order
to
allow
the
building
to
be
brought
a
little
bit
closer
to
the
street,
which
is
always
highly
desired
to
promote
pedestrian
interaction
and
they.
D
Are
also
requesting
a
parking
setback
in
order
to
allow
for
the
driveway
that
access
accesses
the
drive-through
lane
to
be
located
even
with
the
front
of
the
building.
The
unified
development
ordinance
requires
all
parking
areas,
including
driveway
tiles
that
are
located
within
the
parking
setback
or
I'm
sorry
that
are
parallel
or
or
less
than
parallel
to
the
street
to
be
meet.
D
The
parking
setback
requirement
of
20
feet
behind
the
building,
so
the
drive-through
lane
by
that
requirement,
would
need
to
be
20
feet
back
behind
the
front
of
the
building
so
due
to
the
the
kind
of
unique
shape
of
the
lot
and
the
location
of
the
building
and
and
the
culverts
that
run.
Underneath
there
that
kind
of
help
or
hurt
the
location
of
buildings
on
the
site,
the
petitioner
is
trying
to
come
up
with
a
design
that
balances
all
of
the
needs
and
requirements
of
the
zoning
code.
D
So
the
parking
setback
for
variance
that
is
being
requested
is
strictly
for
the
drive-through
lane.
On
the
north
side,
all
other
parking
spaces
meet
the
parking
setback
requirement.
The
petitioner
is
also
requesting
a
parking
variance
number
in
order
to
allow
for
more
parking
spaces
and
what
the
udl
allows
for.
So
a
restaurant
have
less
five
thousand
square
feet
has
allowed
one
parking
space
per
two
hundred
square
feet
of
gross
floor
area
based
on
the
size
of
this
restaurant.
It's
about
2,800
square
feet.
There
would
be
a
lot
of
maximum
of
15
parking
spaces.
This
burger.
D
D
We
have
included
the
parking
counts
that
we're
done
at
the
two
other
locations
is
important
to
note.
I
guess
with
this
petition
that
the
other
burger
king,
that
is
just
south
of
this
on
college
mile
road
would
be
closed,
so
this
would
be
taking
its
place,
so
the
petitioners
did
parking
counts
it
to
two
other
restaurants
here
in
town
and
analyzed
the
needs
of
those.
So
as
staff
is
done.
D
D
D
Something
that
is
that
is
consistent
with
other
variances
that
have
been
approved
for
fast-food
restaurants,
certainly
with
the
adoption
of
the
unified
development
ordinance.
We've
recognized
that
restaurants,
especially
some
restaurants,
would
have
a
higher
need.
A
higher
parking
need
and
those
would
be
handled
on
a
case-by-case
variance
basis,
which
the
board
has
heard.
D
Mentioned
the
building
setback
variance
is
related
to
the
unique
shape
of
the
lot,
specifically
the
corner
of
the
northwest
corner
that
was
taken
from
indot
right-of-way
standards,
which
does
create
a
difficulty
there,
and
it
word
acquired
that
building
to
be
located
even
further
back
from
the
street.
The
location
of
the
new
proposed
building
would
be
in
the
same
location,
same
setbacks
as
the
existing
building
and
having
the
building
closer
to
the
street
does
provide
a
higher
degree
of
pedestrian
interaction,
which
is
which
is
always
desired.

I
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
fact
that
people
who
park
along
one
of
your
parking
about
areas
are
gonna
have
to
cross
the
drive-through
one
way
or
the
other,
and
I
don't
see
anything
like
a
crosswalk
or
some
kind
of
area,
that's
protected
for
them
to
get
across
from
that
parking
area.
We
have
a
couple
situations
like
that
in
town.
E
E
D
The
the
downside,
and
certainly
the
reason
for
maximum
parking
numbers
is
to
make
sure
that
you
have
the
most
efficient
use
of
property
and
that
you
don't
have
asphalt
parking
that
is
just
sitting
there.
You
know
radiating
heat
back
up,
you
know
not
giving
you
a
green
space,
not
providing
area
for
landscaping
and
to
most
appropriately
serve
the
needs
for
the
property.
D
Certainly
you
know
you
can
argue
that
four
or
five
parking
spaces
is
is
not
going
to
be
the
end
of
the
world,
but
when
we
try
to
analyze
what
is
the
most
appropriate
need
for
this
use?
You
know
that's
that's
kind
of
where
we
came
at
the
80%
which
equals
about
one
space
for
a
hundred
square
feet,
which
is
typical
in
the
you
do
for
a
larger
restaurant.
D
D
D
G
Corner
and
just
seems
like
quite
a
hike
for
from
the
eighty-eight
spaces.
I
mean
they're
the
closest
parking,
but
we're
going
on
kind
of
all
the
way
around
the
building
was
any
other
consideration
given
to
try
and
pull
those
parking
spaces
forward
of
that
trash
enclosure
or
going
to
push
that
back
a
little
back.

Which
is
a
medium
intensity,
commercial
zoning
districts?
The
growth
policies
plan
actually
calls
this
as
an
employment
center.
An
employment
center
land-use
category
really
dates
back
to
the
rogers.
The
rogers
building
supply
property
there
along
patterson,
going
back
to
some
of
those
policies
surrounding
redeveloping
that,
for.
C
That's
recently
been
redeveloped
with
a
fitness
center
and
to
the
west
is
an
office
building.
Here's
the
property
looking
to
the
this
is
just
north
east
of
the
property
near
the
corner
of
3rd
and
walker.
Looking
to
the
southwest,
you
can
see
the
historic
church
in
the
foreground
behind
those
trees
as
the
as.

this

lots,

the

Facilities
for
for
an
increase
in
in
being
able
to
house
people,
one
of
the
things
that
we
had
to
look
at
what
the
fire
marshal
was
now
that
we're
changing
use
of
the
building,
in
other
words,
taking
some
of
these
offices
and
some
of
this
other
square
footage
and
changing
the
use
and
making
it
a
place
where
people
stay,
we'd
need
to
sprinkle
the
building,
and
so
that's
something
that
we're
willing
to
do.
We've
got
the
permits
started
and
our.

if
they're,

closing

as
they're
coming
together

meet
in

a

What

we

doing
it.

not.
