Says the council should take up minutes from the past term by committee and.

Of topic forum about the idea of a sustainability investment fund, so in.

F

Particular there will be some brief presentations from city staff and.

And how we can invest in those aspects of sustainability for the future of.

F

Bloomington, so there's that event, I also wanted to highlight that most likely, the.

Discussed will be focused on things going on in district 2, but anyone is.

G

Welcome. Thank you. Thank you. Councillor rosenberger no report.

A

Councilmember simms, thank you. I will be brief.

H

I would like to make a comment, and I want to thank everyone and express my.

H

Appreciation for, as many of you know february, is considered black history.

H

Month sometimes, I still wonder what we get one month to be able to do some.

H

Things, however, be that as it may, I do want to thank misha toya moss, who is our.

H

Safe and civil city director miss beverly calendar anderson, who was the.

H

Department here for community and family resource department, mr. donald miss.

H

Nicole griffin, who was a sponsor of our living legend awards the commission on.

H

The status of black males and their multiple leadership awards, we had a very.

H

Interesting essay contest that, and there was involvement with monroe county.

H

Community school corporation- and I will even say that this month in particular,.

H

We had excellent coverage from our local newspaper ht and, amongst some other.

H

Media outlets, but in particularly the ht and what I would like to say. I hope that.

H

After february april may june july, we still have similar coverage of.

H

Accomplishments of people of color women, other minority folks and everybody in.

H

General, so I don't want us to say: let's do this in february and then kind of.

H

Forget about it in june. Thank you. Thank you.

A

And the only comment I'll make as somebody who.

A

Been noted as quite the supporter of committees, I would urge everyone please.

A

Not to get used to the idea of free food at committee meetings, this is a special.

A

Event that was also meant to highlight the new male building that has become a.

A

Incubator for local businesses, but yeah, we can't always do the free food. All.

A

Right with that, we now go to reports from the mayor and city offices, we're.

A

Going to start with the commission on aging, I feel stafford is here to present he'll have ten minutes and we'll have five.

A

Minutes for questions, because we only have one major item on the agenda.

A

Tonight we will relax the rule, since there are two reports to be made, so I.

A

Think 15 minutes will be enough for this report to start with mr. stafford, if you.

A

Would thank you, kostmart bowen, the city of bloomington commission on aging is.

I

Our statutory responsibilities include the following: we develop study.

I

Committees addressing concerns of seniors in health and wellness, housing.

I

Transportation, employment, social services and recreation. We encourage the.

I

Development of programs of particular benefit to senior citizens. We apply for.

I

Grants as may contribute to the strengthening and refining of a coordinated program to benefit senior citizens. We serve as a catalyst to.

I

Promote positive public and private remedies, so the multi-faceted challenges.

I

Confronting seniors in our community and the resulting effects on the entire.

I

Community we network with like-minded groups and we celebrate the many many.

I

Contributions seniors make to the bloomington community. Those are our.

I

Statutory responsibilities and the commission is a dedicated group of.

I

Individuals with considerable professional and personal experience in.

I

The field of aging and in our community and beyond. Well, we have functioned with.

I

Less than whole membership this past year, we think that's being addressed.

I

And there are members in the previous year included jennifer burns laurie.

I

Clendenon jenny donegan I'd like to acknowledge jack khan who's in the front.

I

Row there for his many years of service to the commission on aging. I think maybe.

I

From the very beginning and I'd like to acknowledge ron smith, who was a very.

I

Effective and excellent commissioner, prior to his ascendancy to the city.

I

Council yonder, schneider and phil stafford. What I'd like to do briefly is.

I

Talk about what we accomplished in 2019, what we hope to do in 2020. In fact, last.

I

February we prepared a challenge: grant aarp community challenge grant for the.

I

Development of a pop-up park pop-up play play street eventually was the grant, was.

I

Not submitted, but it involved a fair amount of work. In march we conducted a.

I

Literature, search and review of national innovative practices that might be.

I

Relevant to bloomington the bloomington scene, and that resulted in through if.

I

April through october strategy meetings and program prioritizing the we also.

I

Established digital procedures for agenda sharing in minutes for our.

I

Meetings, so we could, we could do a real-time minute taking in front of.

I

Everybody's eyes, we provided active testimony at public.

I

Hearings of the unified development ordinance, as you may know, such issues as.

I

Accessory dwelling apartments accessory dwelling units universal design, the.

I

Duplex, triplex controversy and and and other issues, we've been very invested.

I

Both in the comprehensive plan in the previous year and in the development of.

I

The you do in this past year in may, we participated in senior expo and we.

I

Sponsored and participated actively in the annual dementia friendly community.

I

Conference we're coming up on the third conference.

I

In may so I hope you'll pay attention to this. This group, it's a very active group.

I

Working in the community to improve quality of life for people with dementia.

I

And their family, caregivers and the community as a whole.

I

In june, we voiced support for the end right, east programming and have been.

I

Thrilled with the the use of the utilization of the site in the mall for.

I

Senior programming particularly happy with the community arts gallery. That's.

I

Now a next-door neighbor to android ease, we think that's a.

I

Wonderful pairing: we provided two educational events at android east in.

I

The past summer, and in august we we participated in the wtiu conference on.

I

Aging participation and included that included a luncheon keynote that we.

I

Provided in september, we network, we were networking in the community to identify.

I

Potential intergenerational events that we could support, and we also pointed our.

I

New liaison to the active aging network, which is a local group of people who are.

I

Actively involved in supporting and addressing aging issues in the community.

I

And that's laurie clendenon in the coming year. We hope to continue efforts.

I

To promote intergenerational arts events, we're particularly interested in.

I

Somebody taking on the challenge of developing an intergenerational choir.

I

Not a multi-generational choir, but an intergenerational choir, we're preparing.

I

Now, to convene area service providers for networking and collaboration in a.

I

Roundtable and the next month or two we would like to propose wider involvement.

I

Of the service community and the wtiu conference on aging, we will actively.

I

Advocate for the lifetime community framework that guides our thinking about.

I

All these issues and dementia-friendly framing for the hospital site.

I

Redevelopment planning efforts we hope to to be actively involved in the.

I

For the old hospital site, we will continue to study and research best.

I

Practices in health, social and community services, including new models of aging.

I

In place care for older adults with chronic illnesses and disabilities,.

I

Through the leadership of leon schneider, who is one of our.

I

Commissioners in the former head of the division of aging in in indiana, so those.

I

That's our that's a quick overview of our our work this past year and our.

I

Goals for the coming year, I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you.

A

Is just a low-tech report? No no powerpoints that that's allowed here.

A

Thank you for your report and for your service. Let's start with, am I right with.

A

Customer simms, thank you. It's not only. It's allowed at some time.

H

Preferred but thank you very much for the report. I just have one question.

H

I'm just so that I'm clear, can you explain to the difference between.

H

Intergenerational and multi-generational, as well as a multi-generational musical.

I

Event would have kids doing a program and then older adults doing a program an.

I

Intergenerational choir involves the development of relationships among.

I

Younger people and older people and the and in preparation for a single.

I

Performance that that addresses both groups at the same time, so it's a it's.

I

It's a it's a deeper, a more deliberate attempt to bridge intergenerational gaps.

I

Okay, thank you. Further questions, customers, piedmont, smith, yeah. I had the.

A

Same question too, so we all know that customers can blury. Thank you for that.

G

Report, could you speak a little bit more about the dementia friendly programming.

G

That's going on, I know the monroe county history center has done some great work.

G

And that's an important resource for our community. Could you talk a little bit.

G

About yeah, it's it's a wonderful initiative. Three years ago, the first.

I

Conference attracted a hundred people at sherwood oaks church and I'm sure it'll.

I

Be just as successful this year this year and we've it involves people with.

I

Dementia doing presentations also, which is very, very, very, very helpful and compelling this.

I

Year we're going to be, I think, I'm sorry, I don't know the date. It's either the.

I

17Th of the 18th- I don't know if we've landed on a date in may same location,.

I

And this year will be a significant participation event, we'll be setting up.

I

Participatory activities relative to social domains and commercial and.

I

Economic domains- and I can't remember the other one but there'll- be exhibits.

I

With a lot of participation, a lot of arts related activities, opportunities.

I

For people to be be fully engaged in the idea of a dementia friendly community.

I

And we hope to extend the work relative to the old hospital redevelopment to.

I

Make sure that that new neighbourhood is dementia friendly so that it's not only.

I

A question of people living in that neighborhood, knowing how to be around.

I

People with dementia how to learn from people with dementia, how people with.

I

Dementia can be oriented and with appropriate signage and wayfinding kinds.

I

Of supports in the community prospective of new services and supports.

I

For example, if we have a community center, that develops is a part of the.

I

Redevelopment initiative, it will be very important to make sure we serve people.

I

With dementia there as well, so those are just a few of the examples. I guess great.

G

Thank you. I should have mentioned the history.

I

Center dementia friendly programming, which I, which is very close to my heart,.

I

As well so a number of businesses and.

I

Organizations in the community are becoming dementia friendly through a.

I

Certification program: that's developed by the alzheimer's resource service of.

I

Iu health follow-up question: can you give us an.

A

Example of what dementia friendly means, by talking about say, street signage like.

A

What I mean, is it simply the existence of clear street signage or does it is it.

A

Designed in a certain way, could you repeat that a little louder, so I'm sorry.

A

I'll get this is working okay, so I wanted you to.

A

Give us an illustration of what dementia-friendly means with my talking.

A

About the example of street signage, like how does a dementia-friendly street.

A

Signage differ from normal street science. Well, some of it is relative to.

I

Normal changes in vision that people experience sometimes as they age but.

I

Things like contrast and font size and, and you know, those kinds of things.

I

Sometimes the inclusion of a pictogram pictograph along with text is useful in.

A

Other words like gay, when you see in a parking garage that they have like a.

A

Grand canyon level or the you see how many levels, so you can remember what.

A

Floor you're on yeah, you know, or if it's a if it's a little cafe, there's a you.

I

Know this design also has knife and fork. You know simple kind of things too much.

I

Signage can be kind of confusing confusing but signage. That's.

I

Appropriately placed and intelligible and engaging for people sometimes color.

I

Coding is another strategy. If, if we're developing senior housing, we might.

I

Consider the use of color in the senior housing to provide an orientation cues.

I

For people with dementia that might be living there, things like that very good.

A

Thank you any other questions. That's over smith.

J

Thanks for the presentation very much mr. stafford, it's a lot of important.

J

Good work, one of my questions is, would be if we.

J

Talked about universal design, what do we, as council members, need to know about.

J

That and what to builders or developers that come before us? What do they need to.

J

Be considering to affect that yes, well, we are we're thrilled that there's some.

I

Universal design language now in the you do relative to projects of a certain.

I

Size, whether it's congregate, housing or individual housing and new developments.

I

So we're really really thrilled and that universal design is.

I

Defined in the in the in the ordinance now also and in the coming year, what I.

I

Would encourage the city council to think about when proposals are coming.

I

Forward, I know there's a big trend, itas proposal coming forward.

I

There's the crescent development- I can't say I'm in the know on this, but we.

I

Advocated when that development came forward, that every single every.

I

First-Floor unit should be accessible, a visible, no step entrance on every every.

I

Every ground-floor unit- and that should be the case in trinity oz in other.

I

Developments that are that are that are that are forthcoming and no step.

I

Entrance is kind of a hallmark of this concept of visitability that we talked.

I

About which is kind of a form of universal design that works well for.

I

Everybody that's why it's called universal design, getting older right.

I

Well, yeah: is there anybody in there who's, not aging, okay, all right.

A

Point well mae. Thank you mr. stafford, for the presentation with the commission.

A

On aging, thank you. We have one more presentation. This is the presentation.

A

From the of the draft transportation demand management implementation plan.

A

That's a mouthful beth rosenberg were here to frame it for us or are you.

A

Presenting I'm just introducing so beth rosenberger with planning and.

K

Transportation staff- I just want to say I'm happy to introduce justin shore he's.

K

Our lead consultant from wells & associates and mr. shore has led the.

K

Development of a transportation demand management plan, along with his team and.

K

Local stakeholders tonight his presentation is an overview of key.

K

Recommendations in that and the report is forthcoming, so I'll give it to justin.

K

Things and we'll have plenty of time for.

A

Questions afterwards, thank you. Please go ahead great. Mr. president, members of the.

L

Council, thanks for having me here today, has been alluded to this planning.

L

Document that we have is rather lengthy. This is an overview I'm gonna go through.

L

It very quickly and to your point, mr. president, leave as much time as possible.

L

For q&a, so just to orient you about how this presentation will flow, we're.

L

Basically, going to talk about how we came up with the recommendations, the.

L

Research that we did talk a little bit about the recommendations themselves and.

L

Then wrap it up with if we were to implement those recommendations. What.

L

Would be required so I'll start with the first key element of our work. It started.

L

With market research and a piece of that market, research was something that we.

L

Call a surah strengths, opportunities aspirations and results, analysis and.

L

It's intended to do two things to be actively engaging the stakeholders, as.

L

Well, as help with goal-setting and as you can see here, we had a great.

L

Cross-Section of both public and private sector perspectives from throughout the.

L

Entire region, so we got, you know really good input from a number of different.

L

Perspectives kind of going to the last letter in that soar the key takeaway.

L

From the results is that the city of bloomington will know that it has.

L

Achieved its transportation aspirations, if it does these three things, first is.

L

To that transportation has a positive impact on visitor and employee decisions.

L

To both shop and work in downtown bloomington, the second is that.

L

Transportation options will connect not only to and within, but around downtown.

L

And it's perceived as both convenient and safe and then lastly, this is.

L

Something that's already in the sustainability plan, but is reinforced.

L

Through this tdm plan is to reduce single occupancy vehicles or s ovie's, as.

L

The acronym is from 62.8% to 60% by 2022, which is now getting closer and closer.

L

The next piece of the market research was a peer review, so we had established.

L

What sort of the metrics for success were now we looked at what do other.

L

Communities that are similar do with regard to tdm in having comparable goals.

L

And as you can imagine, no two communities are exactly alike, but we did.

L

Find a number of college town communities from across the nation that.

L

Share across them, a combination of qualities that are similar to those of.

L

Bloomington and amongst the ones that we did identify the closest peers. You know.

L

Sort of ranked in order where ann arbor, michigan portland, maine and fort collins.

L

Colorado and it had to do again with unique attributes that are explained in.

L

More detail in the plan, but when we look at what those most peer communities.

L

Those top three I mentioned have and then we look at what we don't have in.

L

Bloomington, this is the list of the things that we, this would be the gap. The.

L

Things that we don't have carpool and vanpool matching a means to help.

L

Facilitate people finding other people to ride with park and rides where you.

L

Could meet a bus or meet other carpoolers and then ride in the rest of.

L

The way outreach to local employers, because those are the trips that are.

L

Typically, causing the most congestion and the most strain on parking, educating.

L

Their employees about what their choices are, providing you know, incentives to.

L

People for people to try, transit and then finally, car share. That's the.

L

Generic term, you may know zipcar as a model. That is a particular brand you'll.

L

Notice on the slide here that there are a couple of asterisks throughout and.

L

Those asterisks basically indicate that these things are actually available at.

L

Iu but they're just not extended to the city at large and are not really.

L

Convenient to downtown so they could be expanded and provided in a more broader.

L

Fashion more broad fashion, the last element of our market research.

L

Was surveys and we did two key audiences? One- was downtown residential parking.

L

Permit applicants and the other was downtown employees, so I'm going to start.

L

With the residential parking permit survey that we did, this was administered.

L

From august 5th, until september 13th- and it was done as a paper survey that was.

L

Included with the parking permit applications, it was focused on people.

L

Who? Obviously applied for residential parking? But in more specific than the.

L

General downtown area and, as you can see, we had a nice response rate out of the.

L

Total of 1,600 roughly 1,600 applicants during that window of time and as you.

L

Know you can apply outside that window as well. We got five hundred and twenty.

L

Three responses, thanks in large part to the staff on the parking team led by.

L

Michelle wall that led to a thirty-one percent response rate, which gives us a.

L

Margin of error of four, so we feel really good about the quality of the.

L

Data we have and the accuracy of it as we go through the next several slides.

L

Just kind of at a glance you know where the people who took this survey come.

L

From where were their, what zone parking permit were they in and, as you can see,.

L

We got people from just about every zone. There's nine zones here that we got a.

L

Sample from the largest concentrations happen to be in zones, one four and five.

L

But we did get representation from across all of them, so how we're all.

L

These people, who took the survey traveling to work or school, we did ask.

L

Them you know to acknowledge either one work or school and what you'll see here.

L

Is 37% of the respondents are driving alone at least one day a week? That's.

L

Pretty low by most standards, most big city standards even to have only you.

L

Know less than forty percent of your people driving then the highest mode of.

L

Transportation that people use to get to work or school is walking and that's as.

L

You can see over forty-two percent, so you know what's interesting here aside.

L

From what I just pointed out is that when you reverse it out, 63 percent of.

L

People are driving, I'm sorry are not driving, but they are owning a car or.

L

Bringing a car here and getting a permit for it, so you have a disproportionate.

L

Number of people that have a car they're not really using it for their day-to-day.

L

Commuting the question we had is what else are using using it for and that's we did some more in-depth research on that with.

L

Some subsequent surveys and clearly, as you can imagine it's doing, errands and.

L

Fun activities on the weekend is primarily what they're, using their cars.

L

For 70% of the respondents on this residential parking permit survey live.

L

Between a half mile and two and a half miles from their workplace or school and.

L

As you can see, with the big red circles on here, the highest concentrations 85%.

L

Of the people are on the iu campus, so most of the people that took this survey.

L

Are commuting on the campus, either as students or as staff when we asked them.

L

This is a probing question we like to get used to gauge whether there are you.

L

Know how committed are they to their car? Are they? Are they handcuffed to their steering wheel or not, and we asked them if driving was suddenly not a choice for.

L

You, what would you do and, as you can see here, 55 percent of the respondents would.

L

Bike to work, if they suddenly couldn't drive and again that's not a big.

L

Surprise, based on the distance that they are from their workplace or school, but.

L

Nonetheless, it's a significant number in many other regions when we ask that.

L

Question you would expect it to be more on the bus side, so biking being big is.

L

Noteworthy when we ask them more nuanced questions about, would you be open to.

L

Other forms of transportation, 69 percent said that they would consider carpooling.

L

So again, there's an openness to trying things other than driving for people who.

L

Are driving on a regular basis moving on to the employees, so we were just talking.

L

About the residents this group of employees were surveyed from october.

L

21St to the 31st- and this was more of an online format- we did it through their.

L

Employers- and what I want to point out here, is that this was downtown employees.

L

That do not work at iu, so it's everything around! I you on this one that.

L

Sent that larger population comprised about 13,000 employees, we got 1100.

L

Approximate responses for a response rate of 9%, but a margin of error of just.

L

Under 3 so again, we feel very confident about.

L

The information and that it pretty accurately extrapolates out to the.

L

Larger population as a whole oops. I think I just turned that off.

L

There we go so how do those people, those employees, commute to work, and this is.

L

Much different than what you saw earlier with the residential parking permit survey. Seventy eight percent- and this is more in line with the national averages.

L

That you see, seventy-eight percent of people are driving alone, at least one.

L

Day a week and then for those who drive, it's not a surprise, you know we, we ask.

L

Them where they live, and we could see that their proximity to work and whether.

L

Or not, they had employers. Subsidized spaces were the two main reasons for.

L

Where people park and how they commute to work, as you can see, the second.

L

Highest utilized form of transportation is biking, but it's a very, very distant.

L

Second place to driving alone, I alluded to we, the geographic nature of our.

L

Analysis and what we found was that employees live greater. You know for the.

L

Most part two and a half miles or more outside of downtown the majority of them.

L

And 15% of downtown employees are outside of ten miles that outer light.

L

Grey area outside the dark, green ring and they're also living in largely lower.

L

Density single-family homes in areas that are not only stressful if you're a.

L

Biker, but have you know they don't have a convenient way to walk to transit? It's.

L

Probably more than a 10-minute walk, which is the general threshold for how.

L

Far people will walk to take transit, and this is looking more specifically at.

L

That trend at our bt transit network, the majority of the employees, live outside.

L

I'm sorry live in areas where the bus only comes once an hour, so you can see.

L

That the red polygons around the yellow lines are areas that have.

L

A five-minute walk to work, but the bus frequency is very low, so even when they.

L

Are near buses they're not really near routes that are particularly convenient.

L

To get to downtown, when we ask these folks if driving was suddenly not an.

L

Option for you, what would you do carpool, but biking and busing came in at the top.

L

Three, but you can see the one that stands out. The most is carpool and again.

L

This is not a surprise when your choices for biking and for taking transit are.

L

Limited carpooling in ends up being the thing that fills in the gaps. You can always find somebody that lives near you or on.

L

Your way to work that you can ride with, but 28% of the respondents said they.

L

Would carpool if they suddenly couldn't drive so that kind of sums up our market.

L

Research that we did, then we looked at okay. If, if we're gonna look at the best.

L

Practices that are out there amongst peer communities and with tdm in general.

L

How do we fare within bloomington in terms of a gap analysis, and by that I.

L

Mean we have this aspiration, we want to achieve where we are where we are, what.

L

Do we need to do to close that gap? You can see here there's four main.

L

Categories under this broader category called general tdm strategies and.

L

General tdm strategies are things that apply across the board across all modes.

L

Of transportation- and that is, technology, financial incentives, travel time.

L

Incentives and then marketing in education in the next slide, I'm going to.

L

Talk more specifically about individual modes, but all of these you can see we.

L

Went through and in the report we really flesh each of these strategies out. We.

L

Identified hey: these are some things that we have in bloomington. They just.

L

Need to be enhanced a little bit here are some things that we don't have that.

L

Are really necessary if we're going to close the gap to achieve our best.

L

Practices so I alluded to these more targeted strategies and they definitely.

L

Complement the general ones that I alluded to on the previous slide, but.

L

They're organized around five primary categories of choices that affect.

L

Transportation demand so the first one is mode and again we use mode as a way.

L

To define modes of transportation, biking busing.

L

Etc, and these are different strategies that can be used to enhance the modes.

L

Other than driving that people would use to get to work or to school departure.

L

Time times of day, if you can avoid, when there's peak parking concerns or peak.

L

Traffic you've helped with those concerns as well. Routing strategies, trip, reduction strategies, location and design are the.

L

Five main categories and again you can see we went through. We identified.

L

Whether this was something that we have here and we just need to enhance or.

L

Whether there's an additional strategy- that's needed, all of that is outlined in.

L

More detail in the plan itself, collectively, though, all of those little.

L

X's in all those boxes came to about two dozen different strategies that we would.

L

Want to do and the question is okay: where do we start? What's the most.

L

Important strategies that we want to prioritize out of those roughly two.

L

Dozen, we spent some time with the stakeholders.

L

Talking about their philosophy for tdm- and this is important- because there are.

L

Strategies in there that some might consider sticks and there are strategies.

L

In there that some might consider carrots, and so the general consensus.

L

Amongst the stakeholders, with that, we should focus on carrots first and really.

L

Allow you know allow that to take hold before we start implementing any sticks.

L

The analogy I would you know give is that, if you're beating somebody over the.

L

Head with a stick- and they don't have anything positive to go to it's just going to be painful. What we want to do is really just nudge them with the stick.

L

Over to something, that's a more desired behavior. This last bullet, though, wasn't.

L

Something that came from the stakeholders- this is something we have.

L

Seen as a firm, that's worked in a lot of different communities. The carrots take a.

L

While for people to identify with they take probably two to three years before.

L

People understand what they are and then once you implement the sticks, it still.

L

Takes people a little while to nudge their way over to the carrots, so my only.

L

Advice is to be very patient. Am I at a time.

L

But okay, so a couple key things here again: if we're going to narrow down on.

L

Our strategies, the other thing, was to focus on our short-term priorities, which.

L

Is, as we said earlier, 20 22, we want to be moving from sixty two point. Eight.

L

Percent to 60 percent: this is roughly a thousand commuters out of the 24,000.

L

Total that are in bloomington, these are the strategies that we would focus on.

L

The top one tdm marketing in education is only going to get you halfway to your.

L

Goal car pool matching and guaranteed ride home are really important, but ultimately, if we're gonna cheat close, that gap.

L

That's up there, some parking pricing is going to be necessary and that's the.

L

Stick I was alluding to earlier. Those are the priorities strategies the.

L

Question is how to organize them in order to deliver them and, as you can see,.

L

Here the best practices from the peer review that we did would indicate most.

L

Of the other communities are having it in a city department, they vary, which.

L

Department, but it's in the city, when you're looking at the peers, we talked.

L

With stakeholders, they said, you know what we think we should follow a model.

L

Similar to that and it should be housed in the city as a some sort of a division.

L

Within the larger organization, the role that it would play, the the key here.

L

Again, I know I'm running short on time. The the top bullet they're actively.

L

Coordinates and cross pollinates throughout the community, which means.

L

Within the city, across departments across the region, with external.

L

Departments outside of the city with employers, it's job, is to cross-pollinate.

L

Across all types of organizations you can imagine you can't do all that work.

L

Without having some staff based on our experience, implementing these kinds of.

L

Programs elsewhere you're gonna require about two-and-a-half full-time equivalents, and so you need a high-level person that can.

L

Interact with all the high-level agencies and external partners, you need.

L

Somebody to run the day-to-day and you need somebody to support them in a part.

L

I'm capacity the cost to run that type of program is about a half a million.

L

Dollars a year, half of that is staff, half of that is operating expenses or.

L

Programmatic expenses and again all the details of this are in the plan. But for.

L

The sake of time we're just going to kind of skim through it. The last thing.

L

Here that we have is, how do you pay for that half-million dollar program in many.

L

Other regions, they are able to apply for federal funds under something called.

L

Congestion mitigation, air quality or ce mec, the air quality is the key part of.

L

That, thankfully bloomington does not have an air quality problem, at least.

L

According to the feds standards, so that that typical funding source is not.

L

Available so the primary opportunity outside of city revenue streams would be.

L

To go to the surface transportation block grant reimbursement program.

L

Through the federal government- and I think e word- there is reimbursement.

L

Obviously, the city still needs to front those costs, but it could get reimbursed.

L

Up to eighty percent of that, but the other sources of funding that would come.

L

Locally, the operating budget taxes, you can also look for campaign sponsorships.

L

Those would be things you could do short term longer term. There's an opportunity.

L

To either increase fees or take portions of the fees to pay for the program and.

L

Just last we've outlined in the plan, you know basically two-year effort from.

L

Whatever you say go, it would take about two years to get everything we just.

L

Described off the ground obviously need to find the funding. You need to hire the.

L

Staff to get the programs going, the programs need to get traction and then.

L

Ultimately, you want to monitor that to see how the programs are going, but it.

L

Generally, in our experience, it's going to take you 18 to 24 months from go to.

L

Execution, so thank you for the extra time. Sorry that ran a little welcome.

A

It's a topic of interest to everyone and I would ask at the outset: can we please.

A

Have the slides that you just presented sent to us, do you already have them do.

A

We have them already: okay, wonderful with that I'll open it up to questions.

A

Let's try to limit our questions. 15 minutes, councilmember simms. Thank you. First thing, these slides that we're going to.

H

Get they are part of the overall report that we will be getting? Are they.

H

Inclusive was this a separate present? This is separate. This is a summary. The.

L

The the plan is probably 94 pages. It includes all the graphics. You saw great.

L

Yeah. Okay, thank you. One question I do have and I don't know if we can go back.

H

But you had an example of city staff or department 2.5 ftes, yes, but the costs.

H

And it seems to me that the costs reduced and you said, it'd, be about a.

H

Half million dollars is for something, but those costs reduce from year, one to.

H

Year, three, and what do you attribute that to.

H

Generally, it tends to rise more with salary increases and some other things.

H

So I found that interesting that it is actually reducing not by much, but that.

H

That's kind of a reversal trend. It's a great question to your point. The staff.

L

Costs do go up so the first, the staff and overhead. As you can see, I mean the.

L

Overhead goes down because things like laptops and other supplies that you.

L

Purchase once upfront are, you know you don't need to purchase in the subsequent.

L

Years and that that's probably the biggest delta on the overhead, the staff.

L

Cost continued to go up. There are some other things that you can see on the.

L

Direct expenses that you may buy once and then they go down over time. Our.

L

Thought here, as you go down into the direct expenses, you'll see marketing and.

L

Tdm contractors, in the beginning, part of the reason we say two and a half is we.

L

Want to give you the flexibility to see how much staff resources you really need.

L

And by hiring some part-time consultants, you can gauge that until you stabilize.

L

And so we see that going down over time as well, once you've understood like oh.

L

We're either gonna hire more staff or not that tends to go down. Okay, thank you.

L

It's a great question. Thank you. Councilmember sims, council member.

A

Flaherty presentation, looking forward to digging into that report, I watched your.

F

Presentation from a june 12th 2019 just recently to prepare for this meeting.

F

And you said something in that presentation that struck me a little bit.

F

Which is that the strategies and what you prioritize and how you pursue them.

F

Might differ depending on what your goals are, so you highlighted you know.

F

Greenhouse gas emissions reductions versus reducing congestion versus you.

F

Know other goals does that factor into the plan? I don't think you got into it.

F

Too much in this presentation, but how does that manifest in the in the report.

F

That we will be getting that's a great question, so, as you mentioned, there are a.

L

Number of different ways that you can define success for this one. It was.

L

Primarily focused on parking demand in downtown and so a lot of the.

L

Recommendations are about how we can encourage, for example, residents in.

L

Downtown to not own a car, if they're, only driving on the weekends. What can.

L

What kind of trips are they making that we could deliver another way so that.

L

Don't feel they have to own a car, that's sitting there. Three quarters of the week.

L

If not more so, parking was the primary driver. Thank you. Thank you for other.

A

Questions constant repeat, ron smith. Yes, I'm wondering what the strategy is for.

D

Presenting this plan to the public- because this is a pretty new concept to.

D

Most people- they don't know what tdm is and why we do it and all this. So can you.

D

Speak to that a little bit or maybe mr. rosenberger could and by that just a.

L

Clarifying question: once the program is launched, how do you communicate it to.

L

The public or prior to it, launching well depending on the the funding, may be.

D

Prior to it, launching they're gonna use public money. We probably should inform.

D

People ahead of time, that's a great question. Our budget right. I can speak to.

L

You know that may be better for scott to answer, but I could speak to post funding.

L

For sure so so the draft plan will be available.

M

In you say your name, please thank you. Councilmember ville and scott robinson.

M

Assistant director for planning and transportation- thank you, but this.

M

Process was public in the sense of the surveys in the stakeholders that were.

M

Involved in the sword that helped define the scope of programming a lot of the.

M

Programs really rely on employers to encourage their employees to participate.

M

In those programs, and so a lot of that, coordination was working with them as.

M

Far as the plans recommendations that will be available online very soon that.

M

People can look at and review and obviously, if there's financial.

M

Expenditures that the city would be considering, that's something that we wouldn't engage, but this is just the first step of the process to evaluate.

M

Those programs and get feedback from the community so again with that initial.

M

Team that justin outlined in the beginning on those stakeholders and.

M

Employers, a lot of that was vetted internally with with their employees and.

M

A lot of these programs kind of rely on those employers to encourage the carrots.

M

As justin talked about for them to participate in, you know the rideshare.

M

Program or car sharing and that's a lot. What currently indiana university does.

M

With their tdm plan on campus, that's all internally within their employees and.

M

Staff and it's not something in turn externally, so that's kind of the nuance.

M

What we're dealing with here is there are some public aspects, but there's some.

M

Parts to the recommendations that really are dependent upon a tdm manager to.

M

Going to employers to say hey, we want to encourage you to participate in these.

M

Programs that we're trying to get the community and that's the part about the.

M

Cross-Pollinating and whatnot so moving forward. There would be a much more.

M

Public facing aspects to implement the strategies that are identified does that.

M

Answer your question.

D

um I guess I'm. I know that employers will be vital to this effort, but I'm.

D

Wondering you know, since at least 20% of this budget will come from internal.

D

Funds, whether there's you know ours, there plans to reach out to everybody in.

D

The city and explain what this is: why we're doing it.

D

And really, there's no reason to limit this to downtown if an employer on the.

D

East side wants to implement some, then we should support that as well. So I.

D

Guess I don't know at what stage that would be most appropriate, but I'm hoping.

D

That there will be a broader engagement of the public, yet I think there's.

M

Opportunities to do that, one of the challenges with scoping this project.

M

I'll it was defining the study area and again the downtown was identified as.

M

That and there's certainly employers outside of the downtown and there's.

M

Opportunities to look at you know on the west side, with employers on the west.

M

Side and ivy tech in monroe county, so I think what was envisioned is. These are.

M

Examples that we hope to grow and move forward with that other employers and.

M

Locations outside the city could emulate and kind of build upon that success. So.

M

This is really a strategy kind of getting the whole program getting kicked.

M

Off again within that kind of one to two year or two and a half year, timeline.

M

That was outlined with that and certainly opportunity to have those.

M

Discussions and feedback with that process. Okay, mr. schorr, did you want to.

D

Add anything from your experience. Thank you. Yes, just to follow up to scott's.

L

Point we talked about sorry, I'm trying to think of where it was.

L

This slide just to piggyback on what scott was saying we did highlight in the.

L

Plan that we were going to start with downtown, that is the the area that was.

L

Defined for the study, but it was also an area where we had a critical mass and we.

L

Would you know work on succeeding? You know in a confined area and then expand.

L

Out so it was intended to be a model that could be replicated within the city.

L

And beyond and that's what all of you know, I kind of rushed through this, but.

L

We would talk about coordinating with other local entities, it was other local.

L

Government jurisdictions, so it was intended to be replicated elsewhere.

L

Thank you. Thank you, councillor, vaughn smith, any.

A

Other questions councillor scambler ring. um Thank you for your presentation. Can.

G

You go back to the slide on budget. Please sure a couple questions here for.

G

Those of us who aren't as familiar with it could you talk about ride, matching software and guaranteed ride home and just to find a few of those for sure.

G

Absolutely and is just to point out those were two key elements back here.

L

And it's you know and the so just to describe what they are. That's a great.

L

Question guaranteed ride home is essentially insurance for your commute.

L

Is the best way to describe it so the number one reason we do surveys all the.

L

Time and if not number one, maybe number two reason why people are uncomfortable.

L

Leaving their car at home and doing something else, is they have a concern that they may have an emergency in the middle of the.

L

Day their kid gets sick. They need to pick them up from daycare or school. They.

L

Get sick and they need to go home, and now they just left their carpool.

L

Partners stranded at work whatever it is, some regions call it an emergency ride.

L

Home, because that is a little more in alignment with what I just described. But.

L

That is essentially guaranteed ride home. The way you often administer it is.

L

Through either a taxi or ride-hailing system to get people, you know for free.

L

And you're, basically paying for their trip from their work to their home or.

L

Destination with the understanding that you committed to use some other form of.

L

Transportation prior to signing up for that, so it's sort of a quid pro quo. The.

L

Ride matching software is essentially a carpool matching.

L

Software, a lot of people live right down the street from people that they either.

L

Work with or work near in downtown or elsewhere, and they just don't know who.

L

Those people are by creating a larger regional database where people can put.

L

Their names in and find out who's near them. You begin to identify other people.

L

That you could carpool that can take the form of sort of, like a I say, static, but.

L

More of a website- or it can be, there's apps nowadays that do that as well.

L

For example, waze carpool does that sort of dynamically. You know where it helps.

L

Match you to other people that you could carpool with to work? Thank you and may I.

G

Ask one more question: you talked about an 80/20 split in budget, so for a city.

G

Of bloomington, I assume the scales, so that's about a hundred thousand a year.

G

When you have worked with other cities and municipalities, where have you seen.

G

Them get that money, is it private support? Is it typically new money? Is it.

G

Cannibalized from somewhere else, what have you seen yeah most typically, it's.

L

Coming from parking, they've worked very synergistically together, you know, so I.

L

Talked about parking pricing earlier as the stick, but it is the most effective.

L

Strategy to change people's travel behavior if they have to pay a price.

L

That really makes them pause and say: hmm did I really want to do that or maybe.

L

I'll take transit or carpool. So very often, what we find is that the parking.

L

And tdm are actually on the same team working to find the right balance of.

L

What's the right price to move people to something else without causing some.

L

Negative economic impact where people no longer want to go to that destination so.

L

That was a long answer. The short answer is typically, it comes from parking.

L

Revenue either and parking can cover. Have you seen a cover all that entire 20.

G

Percent, for example, have you seen any cities? Look at other solutions. You know.

L

I don't I don't know exactly what portion of their budgets the tdm is, but.

L

That's more often than not where the money is coming from. I could find that.

L

Out for sure, though, thank you.

A

Got a question: if no no counselor rosenberger! Thank you that thank you for.

N

This presentation, I just want to clarify, so your role is not to say look. We need.

N

Better infrastructure for bike and ped, but your role is to say here's what we.

N

Could we can do with what we have, or lack thereof, I guess to change behavior.

N

So like talking about carrots and sticks, that's that's what you do did not talk.

N

About, like you, don't have enough bike lanes, that's a great question. So it's.

L

Probably worth defining what transportation demand management is in.

L

The world of transportation, you can address your parking or traffic concerns.

L

Through supply-side solutions that would be building more lanes of traffic bike.

L

Lanes, you know even bus service, although it's an operations thing is more of a.

L

Supply of a type of service, the demand management is, is managing how people use.

L

All of the different infrastructure, so just as an extreme case, we did the.

L

Vancouver winter olympic tdm plan- and they had a concern that they have super.

L

High transit ridership and you have all of these visitors athletes media coming.

L

In and they didn't think that their transit system could handle the capacity.

L

Of all that additional people, so their tdm plan was focused on getting local.

L

Residents off the transit network and allowing the capacity to be used another.

L

Way so I used that as an extreme to say, demand management is whatever the.

L

Resources that is constrained, you're, trying to change behavior and, at the end.

L

Of the day, tdm is about changing travel behavior from one undesired way of.

L

Traveling to another more desired way, it's a great question. Councillor smith,.

J

Yes, thank you for your presentation. It's.

J

Great sure and and I to use the cert program, are you familiar with that from.

J

Indianapolis go back and forth and fan and that in the it was, the software was.

J

Great, it worked really well the one thing that I was. Maybe you can speak to.

J

This, the one thing that was challenging in the beginning was people learning of.

J

How to enroll into the software and then taking advantage of the benefits, um do.

J

You have any any thoughts or any wisdom from your analysis about that.

L

If wisdom means that made a lot of mistakes, then yes and I've got some I've.

L

Got some good nuggets? What we typically do is, for example, this survey that we.

L

Just did, instead of just asking how you got to work, you can ask a question at.

L

The end that say, and would you like information about you, know being matched.

L

To other choices, and so then you very quickly in this case we had 1,100 people.

L

If they all check that box, you'd now have 1,100 people in the database.

L

Without having to ask them to sign up for carpal, is that through a phone app.

J

How to date, how did they find that the survey we I mean we did a an online.

L

Instrument they could done it on their phone on their computer. Whatever we sent.

L

A link to an online survey instrument: okay, okay, thank you, yeah! It's a great my.

L

Question to once it's where we've run out of time here that what you just said.

A

About vancouver is a concern that we have about our pending desire to build a.

A

Convention center to expand a convention center- and you know like how they were.

A

Concerned about convention center park income competing with commuter parking.

A

You know, do you use, do you talk about? Do you plan convention, center, tdm or.

A

Other special event tdm s, besides the olympics, I mean: what do you say to that.

A

Yeah I mean, I think, if I'm understanding what you're saying you know, ideally.

L

You'd like to free up some of the commuter parking so that conventioneers.

L

Could use that or the we're planning to build convention center garage but a.

A

Garage right next door, that's meant to be for commuters and shoppers downtown.

A

Might get co-opted by the other garage if they're not priced the same right so.

L

I think your last point there is the key is making sure the pricing is consistent.

L

You know really because people will go to the you know: water flows downstream.

L

So they'll just go to the path of least resistance. What you're basically saying.

A

Is there's a plan for that? That's part of the plan. We can take that into account if we have professional staff doing this right, it's not specified in.

L

This plan, but that would be the kind of thing that the staff could manage. We, you.

L

Know we looked more broadly at the package of strategies that you need to.

L

Do that would be a more nuanced incident or not incident but event that you'd.

L

Want to apply it toward and is surface transportation block grant funding hard.

A

To get or do we automatically qualify for it? If we put up matching, I mean.

L

You're already from my understanding qualifying for it now you're getting it.

L

It's just how my understanding is this last year, there's a little more funding.

L

Available than there has been in past years, I can't say that that will be the.

L

Case moving forward, it's fairly competitive, but the city is already.

L

Receiving it, it's a question of how you allocate it very good.

A

So when will the report be issued? Well we're putting the final edits on it.

L

Right now, staff is reviewing it. I don't want to put words in their mouth, but in.

L

A week and a month, how soon can we look forward to seeing it in the near future.

K

And yes, they they just provided an updated draft staff needs to do a review.

K

And then we'll be happy to provide it more than a week. I'm looking for beach.

A

Reading, it's all less than months, lower than that be treating all right.

A

Thank you very much. I really appreciate the report and your work on it and look.

A

Forward to the report being released, and thanks again with that, we now go to.

A

Reports from the council committees are there any council committee reports that.

A

Are not already on the agenda tonight seeing none. We go to report from the.

A

Public is remember the public who is here to speak. If so, can you raise your.

A

Hand one two: okay, you'll each have five minutes. Please come to the podium and.

A

State, your name hi. Sorry, I'm here, I'm greg alexander, I'm here again to speak.

O

About the sidewalk on the east side of roger street, between the b line and 11th.

O

Street, it runs right through pretty much the center of the the trades district at.

O

The edge of where the current construction has been my concern is it's.

O

Going to be closed basically for five years as the trades district is built.

O

Out and we've already seen a year between 20 and 20 19, where the that.

O

Sidewalk was closed and it's not entirely open. Today, there's a spot of.

O

Gravel in the middle of it, where you there's no sidewalk it to scrabble and.

O

One of the advantages of it having been closed for a year is that they installed.

O

A nice 10-foot wide sidewalk between the b line and 10th street. It's it's a real.

O

Short one, but it's 10 feet wide, which is pretty wide. It's it makes sense. It's.

O

Basically part of the b line, and it shouldn't have taken a year to do that.

O

It should I take it a couple of weeks, but we have it now and I'd like to keep.

O

It you know, and so this isn't the most egregious thing. That's happened to.

O

Sidewalks, but it's something that I followed from the beginning to end is.

O

The the trades district garage approval process and I came to city council and.

O

We were reassured by the the deputy mayor, macray dyson and bye-bye alex.

O

Crowley that the garage would be good for bikes and peds- I don't know if you.

O

Believe that and then I was at plan commission and we were assured by eric.

O

Krulak, a city planning services manager that that or I said, the wrong word there.

O

He, whatever he is, a senior planning zoning manager. I don't know what it is.

O

And he assured us that the sidewalk on rogers street there would be it would be.

O

Unimpacted unimpacted during the construction of this garage and but the.

O

Sidewalk on 10th street would be closed and I like the unintended work now.

O

That's great we'll keep a 10-foot sidewalk and then over christmas break.

O

They put up the construction fences and they blocked eight feet at that. Ten-Foot.

O

Sidewalk, so that's it's a pretty significant impact in my mind, you can.

O

Just barely squeeze one person through there now and then they moved it back to.

O

Block only four feet of the sidewalk and then one of the subcontractors thought.

O

Wouldn't it be great if I could park some heavy equipment on the sidewalk, they moved it back to blocking the whole sidewalk. A couple days later, they moved.

O

It back it's only blocking for free to the sidewalk again. You know I went to the public or get bored of public works, because jackie scanlon was here a couple.

O

Weeks ago and she said that, if you, if you want to close the sidewalk, you have.

O

To get permission from the board of public works, and so I went and it turns.

O

Out the sidewalk had been closed for seven weeks. The sidewalk on tenth street.

O

Had actually been bulldozers, backhoes, it was gone, it was had been demolished and.

O

They were going to public works, asking for permission to close the sidewalk.

O

That they had already demolished kind of stunning to me, but seven weeks later,.

O

They they asked permission and then at public works. I was, I said, the the.

O

Sidewalk on roger street was supposed to be on impacted, and here it is, you know.

O

Four feet of it's blocked and I was shocked by this, but but the the sarah.

O

Gomez, I don't know her her position, but and adam waysand public works were both.

O

There and they both butted me, you know they said we don't have any.

O

Responsibility to keep the sidewalk unimpacted, we only have to keep 54.

O

Inches open, which you know I know adam waysand, has come to you guys and said we.

O

Do what we can for sidewalks, but to the board of public works? He says, forget it.

O

We're gonna cut that on a sidewalk, it's gonna be impacted, and so today I went.

O

Down there with a measuring tape- and it is it's four feet of- it- is blocked and.

O

Six feet if it's open and as subcontractors come and go, that's gonna get worse like and the reason I bring all this up is that process matters.

O

You guys need to be able to rely when staff comes and tells you the procedure.

O

You need to be able to rely on that when, when the deputy mayor comes here and.

O

Tells you something you need to be able to rely on that when, when a planning.

O

Staff member says that the sidewalk is going to be unimpacted. You need to rely.

O

On that and there's a discussion lately about whether you guys should be.

O

Micromanaging department heads and I think we can all agree that there are.

O

Certain oversight, responsibilities of this board of the board of public works.

O

Of the plan, commission and those cannot be carried out if you cannot rely on.

O

Staff to give accurate information- that's all I got things but comment any.

A

Other public comment.

A

Well, I wanted to talk to you a little bit about a there's, a board of directors.

P

Meeting for bloomington transit on the 17th and they're gonna be voting on an.

P

Efficiency study that they did last year, they released it to the public in june.

P

Basically, where they're looking at their routes and trying to become come up with.

P

The most efficient routes due to declining ridership and a lot of a lot.

P

Of other factors, you know I've been an advocate for people with disabilities.

P

For over 25 years- and I got to be honest with you when I hear the word efficiency.

P

Most of the time that means accessibility goes down and that's true.

P

In this report, so to keep it really simple, the most efficient way to get.

P

From point a to point v is a straight line, and so bt is going to stop going.

P

Into things like neighborhoods shopping, centers apartment complexes and keep it.

P

More the fewer times that bus driver has to turn the bus into another area, the.

P

More efficient, that is that's true, but that's not good for anybody with.

P

Disabilities, particularly anybody who's, poor, disabled, the elderly, is the same.

P

Population that typically gets hit when people are trying to save money, and so I.

P

Want to bring that to your attention. I've got concerns I'll go to the meeting.

P

But this to me is more than just an efficiency on the routes. This is pure.

P

And simple climate change: climate crisis- you know I've read the city reports that.

P

Went to the greenhouse gas inventory report last fall and one of the areas.

P

That they talked about is that we can make the greatest impact on climate change through transportation, personal use of our cars, and I think that all.

P

Makes sense, I think, there's a general agreement among the council that if we get people out of their cars to use things like btb, let me to transit more.

P

That's all positive, but then what I see and what I hear are conversations about.

P

Parking garages and parking lots, and it just seems to me that the public, if.

P

You're gonna say we want you out of your car, but at the same time we're gonna make parking easier, more affordable and more available. It's sending a mixed.

P

Message- and I think it's something that we ought to be really kind of bulan.

P

The community- and we didn't need to start talking about that climate change.

P

In the climate crisis is not gonna, be solved or worked on out of any kind of.

P

Convenience it's going to take sacrifice and my concern is: this: report represents.

P

Something I think that will happen is that, if, in fact, we do anything- and I.

P

Think that's some question whether or not the sacrifice and the community is.

P

Going to be shared or whether it's going to be ended up following on the people who can least afford it in our least in position to be able to handle it. And I.

P

Think we have to be bold and I think do we have to be very direct, and I think we ought to do things like reconsider the parking garage at the convention center.

P

Oftentimes I hear about is not a case of. Do we build the car parking garage? Do we.

P

Have a green parking crush, which no one's ever written, able to explain that to me what a green parking garages! But why.

P

Don't we talk more about, should the parking garage even be built to begin.

P

With at what point in time are we going to really suck it up and say we're.

P

Running out of time, I think everybody who reads the reports, the un reports, any.

P

Report you want to look at is we're running out of time and we're still building parking garages, and we know that long term. That's not beneficial to.

P

Our community, I would urge you to reconsider the parking crotch at the.

P

Convention center, I would really I would urge you, when parking garages and.

P

Parking comes up for someone on both county and the city level that the first.

P

Question should be: why should we build them at all.

P

Thanks. Thank you. Any further public comment, seeing none we'll move on to our.

A

By mr. eric croolik, hello, welcome give us the skinny I'll try to give just a.

S

Brief overview of the petition as a whole, as mentioned, this is for a.

S

Property on the northwest side of town the site is approximately just a little.

S

Over 40 acres and encompasses properties that are zoned a planned unit.

S

Development business park and residential single-family, the.

S

Petitioners are requesting to expand the pud that governs a portion of this.

S

Property to encompass that business, porte business park portion to the west.

S

As well as folds in a single-family residential ease, owned lot to the east,.

S

This is to allow for the property to be redeveloped with a mix of residential.

S

Uses throughout the property, the property was rezone to a planned unit.

S

Development back in the early 90s portion of that is zoned a pud and was.

S

Allowed or approved with uses for semi-trailer storage and some office.

S

Uses use variance was approved late, 90s 1996 to allow from affordable housing.

S

Units on the property that was not constructed a little bit later in 2003.

S

Proposal for some residential units was again brought forward, but that was.

S

Withdrawn 2014, another petition was brought forward again. This was just.

S

Prior to the update to the comprehensive plan, so we were operating under the.

S

Growth policies plan that had this as an employment center, so we were very.

S

Discouraging of any petitions on this site, as we were in the middle of updating the growth policies plan, a petitioner then.

S

Brought forward about two years ago, in 2018 after the comprehensive plan, was.

S

Updated that went through the plane, commission and the council, the council.

S

Ended up not approving that petition due to a variety of factors, and so the.

S

Petitioner is here again today with several improvements to that petition to.

S

Try to have another crack at it so shown on the site. Here is the 2018 site plan.

S

That was last seen by the council just real briefly for this site plan, the.

S

Bottom side of the screen is facing east, so 17 or arlington drive is to the east.

S

17Th street is on the left side of the screen to the south, so the petition in.

S

2018 had a mix of duplexes and some single-family houses, along with an.

S

Amenity center, there were several problems: several conflicts with the.

S

Comprehensive plan and the overall site plan so, as I mentioned, the city council.

S

Deny that petition, and so the petitioner made several changes to it and are here.

S

Tonight, to request approval to amend the pud that was originally approved in 91.

S

To expand it to include the business park portion of the property as well as.

S

The single-family property, so this petition I'll just kind of give an.

S

Overview of what is being proposed would encompass four different areas for.

S

Different kind of development areas on the north end of the site, our areas, this.

S

Is area a kind of outlined in green and that would encompass 45 single family.

S

Lots so one of the and I'll just kind of a brief history on the the previous site.

S

Plan and some of the problems with that was the the lack of incorporation of a.

S

Kind of grid like network of streets through the overall site, so the site is.

S

Somewhat unique- and that is in that there is an electric line- easement a 100.

S

Foot electric line, easement that runs through the center of the property there.

S

Are also several creeks and wetlands that are scattered throughout the property and the site itself also has a little bit of a unique background.

S

In that, when say row, 37 was being constructed in the late 60s early 70s a.

S

Lot of this site was scraped for soil use, for filling associated with state.

S

Road 37, so a lot of the site was scraped down to bedrock and has made development.

S

Very difficult, the north half of this site, though, was not disturbed with that.

S

Work so it remains very much a mature forest tall, mature, canopy trees, good.

S

Understory growth, so there's kind of a mix of vegetation on the property with.

S

The north half of the property having good quality vegetation- and you know.

S

Most of 2/3, of the property kind of suffering from very bare soil and cedar.

S

Trees that are just kind of scattered throughout it.

S

So the petitioners have made a lot of improvements from the previous site plan.

S

That they've increased the amount of environmental preservation they've set.

S

Aside, the wetlands and the creeks as required, they set aside the north side.

S

Of the site for a conservation area, that's a portion of the property that.

S

Has a good quality trees and so they've kind of broken up. The remainder of the.

S

Property and as I mentioned four areas of development so on the screen that you.

S

See here you see a large hatched gray area on the right side of the screen on.

S

The north side of the site that all represents conservation area and then so.

S

The area a that I was initially mentioning that is being called out for.

S

Single family lots, so one of the things that we found fault with with the.

S

Previous site plan was a lack of grid network streets with into the.

S

Development, so the single family locks have been laid out to utilize. That grid.

S

Network so the single family lost front on public streets with alleys running.

S

Between those to provide access for the garages and for the parking areas, so as.

S

I mentioned these would be 45 single family lots and the petitioner is.

S

Proposing- and this was a condition of approval as well just to kind of.

S

Reiterate this aspect because it's a very important aspect: the petitioner.

S

Will be giving these lots to the city to be used for our housing.

S

So there was a requirement from the planning commission that these lots be.

S

Fully graded out, all utilities be installed: sidewalks street trees, streets.

S

So the lots are build ready for the city's uses, so these lots have been in.

S

Their district ordinance called out for the standards of the r4 zoning district.

S

So that would allow for single-family uses that would allow for plexes a wide.

S

Mix of uses to give the city the greatest flexibility for the use of that.

S

We do not at this time, have a definitive plan for how these will be used. This is.

S

A unique situation so we're kind of leaving all options on the table for how.

S

Those lots will be developed, but those will be given to the city so moving.

S

South of that, in an area designated as area b, that is an area that is slated.

S

For townhomes and duplexes, so you can see in this particular area that there.

S

Are there's a hatched area kind of running diagonal through the site that.

S

Represents the creeks and wetlands that are on that property that are being set.

S

Aside, so the petitioners have arranged buildings through that area to work.

S

Around those environmental areas, one of the the changes that was incorporated.

S

Between the land use committee last week and today was a comment to include.

S

Parallel parking spaces along the front of those townhome units, as well as.

S

Immediately did behind them, so what you see the site plan here, the petitioners.

S

Have modified the arrangement of the townhomes so that the townhomes follow.

S

The curve of the street that was something that the land use committee wanted to have incorporated. The petitioner has incorporated parallel.

S

Parking spaces in order to reduce the amount of perpendicular parking between.

S

The buildings to give it more of a street like design to increase.

S

Pedestrian friendliness and bring the buildings a little bit closer together.

S

So that is one of the changes. That's happened between the land use committee.

S

Last week, so that area is being proposed to be developed with townhomes and.

S

Duplexes there would be approximately.

S

123 surface parking spaces on that area and the density is about 13 units per.

S

Acre about 255 beds on that particular parcel moving west of that we're kind of.

S

Up on the screen, the area designated in red parcel d that is again being slated.

S

To be developed with duplexes and townhomes again, the petitioners have.

S

Arranged public streets running through that, with parallel parallel parking.

S

Spaces the electric line, easement that runs through the site. They are utilizing.

S

Four parking spaces, some perpendicular spaces across there- that is kind of the.

S

Extent of what duke will allow within that easement area, so the petitioners.

S

Have arranged those parking spaces behind those units and I'll kind of go.

S

Through the the renderings for that in just a second I'm just trying to give a.

S

General overview there, so those would all be duplexes and attached.

S

Single-Family- and that was an area that's designated for approximately 240.

S

Surface parking spaces and a density about 10 units per acre and 309 bedrooms.

S

So moving north of that the area kind of encompassed with the blue outline area c.

S

That would be a four-story multifamily building so along the west side of this.

S

Property on the top side of the screen is ai 69, so the petitioners have kind of.

S

Located the multi-family building along the periphery of the property adjacent.

S

To I-69, one of the comments that came out of the playing commission was to try.

S

To maximize the buffer between this building and I-69 for the majority of.

S

That they've included a 50-foot conservation area. There are few portions.

S

Of the building that are 25 foot setback from that property line, but for the most.

S

Part, they have incorporated a 50-foot buffer between this property and I-69.

S

And even greater than that, as you kind of move south along the site, so the.

S

Multi-Family building would have 105 units in there 261 beds. There would be a.

S

Parking garage within the interior of the site or interior of the building.

S

That would have two parking spaces so overall the.

S

Petition as it stands right now is proposed at 387 units 825 bedrooms, those.

S

Would be a mix of townhomes and multi-family and duplex units.

S

Encompassing one bedroom, two bedroom, three bedroom and four bedroom, the.

S

Majority of the units in this development are two in through your.

S

Bedroom, so you can see on the screen in front of you kind of a breakdown of the.

S

Bedroom counts, as well as the parking spaces parking would be provided in a.

S

Mix of the parallel spaces that I mentioned previously, as well as the.

S

Perpendicular spaces behind some of the units, if you include just the private.

S

Spaces not including the on street spaces parking is provided at 0.44.

S

Parking spaces per bedroom, if you factor in the on street spaces, that number goes.

S

Up to zero point, five six parking spaces per bedroom I'll talk a little bit later.

S

About transit access and service for this property, that's been another aspect.

S

That's been kind of heavily discussed, so I just kind of real briefly go through.

S

Each area just to kind of give a larger view of that area so area a that is the.

S

Single family lots, as I mentioned, these would be 45 lots. These would be served.

S

By alley, access along the rear, there's a conservation easement, a 50-foot that is.

S

Being proposed between this development and the single-family residential.

S

Properties to the east of that, so that is shown on the right side. The bottom.

S

Side of your screen, you can see all the hatched area to the north of this and to.

S

The west again, that represents the conservation area, so area b, which is.

S

Just to the south of that, as you can kind of see, a close-up here of the site.

S

Plan for that, the townhomes along the street that runs through the kind of.

S

Center of the portion that extends out to arlington drive is a public street.

S

The petitioners have shown parallel spaces along the front of these.

S

Townhomes, as well as parallel spaces kind of running between those units just.

S

To the south of that, so as I mentioned, this would have a mix of one.

S

Two and three or three and four-bedroom units for this particular area. Eighty.

S

Percent of the units in here are one and two-bedroom, so there's a total of 162.

S

Units that are being proposed in here thirteen units per acre is the density.

S

So this is just a maximum density, while it's possible that the bedroom count.

S

Might change based on what they've submitted so far they're looking at.

S

Mostly one and two-bedroom units here, so this is a rendering showing those.

S

Townhomes and duplex units, so in the center of the screen you can see the.

S

Townhome arrangement, so these would be three story: buildings flanking that just.

S

To the left, you can see the duplex or the attached single family units, so one.

S

Of the things that their district ordinance incorporates is the language.

S

From the unified development ordinance that deals with the anti monotony.

S

Standards, so the anti and amantani standards require differences in.

S

Building height differences in modulation, differences in finishing.

S

Material in order to break up the look and feel of units within the property.

S

Certainly, this is something that is very important with this particular partition.

S

Because there is a mix of housing units within here and a lot of those, so we.

S

Expect some kind of typical unit designs when this comes forward with the final.

S

Plan approval, but the petitioners have incorporated the minimum architectural.

S

Standards, based on the you do requirements that deal with the anti.

S

Monotony standards, as well as they have included the finishing materials for.

S

These buildings, the finishing materials, would be fiber cement board, siding brick.

S

Masonry limestone that kind of material, so those have all been called out in.

S

Their district ordinance so area c, and this is the multifamily building that I.

S

Mentioned previously is a four story: building it does have a parking garage.

S

In there this is proposed to have 113 units in.

S

There, the the majority of these units, just over 80%, are two and three-bedroom.

S

Units only three four bedroom units are being proposed within this building and.

S

As I mentioned, there's a parking garage with eighty-two parking spaces that is.

S

Being proposed in this building, there's also a commercial.

S

Component to that building as well, it's just over 6,000 square feet. The.

S

Petitioners have included a list of uses that includes the commercial limited.

S

Zoning district list of uses to try to provide some on-site services for the.

S

Residents there will also be an amenity center within there for the use of the.

S

Students and the the tenants of that building, but they have included some.

S

Commercial space in order to provide some some neighborhood serving retail or.

S

Their commercial uses for that petition, so this is a look or a rendering of that.

S

Multi-Family building, so you can see the ground-floor commercial space again. The.

S

Architecture of this is meant to complement a lot of the townhome and.

S

Attach single family units that we saw in the previous rendering so similar.

S

Building materials colors window design, but there are differences in order to.

S

Help break this up as well, so they've got a lot of modulation recesses. It.

S

Would have a pitched roof along the front with flat roofs, one of the things.

S

That was mentioned previously was the incorporation of a white roof on this.

S

Building so I think that was something the petitioners also committed to as.

S

Well, so this is kind of a rendering showing how that multi-family building.

S

Would look so one of the other issues or items of concern or question was how.

S

That multi-family building would look from high 69, so you can see a rendering.

S

Of how the multi-family building would look for my 69, there is, or are a lot of.

S

Trees along that corridor now that would be saved with this petition as well as.

S

When the final plan is reviewed with this, there would be additional landscaping installed between that buffer area. So we would have a high.

S

Amount of landscaping between that building and I-69 so just to the south.

S

Of the multifamily building area d, this is slated for a mix of townhomes and.

S

Duplex attached single family units, one of the other comments that came out of.

S

The land use committee meeting was incorporating a mix of housing types.

S

Within this development, so the petitioner shown a mix of townhome units on the north side of the site, as well as.

S

Attached single-family on the interior, with some townhomes kind of bookending.

S

Some of those attached to single-family residences, so you've got a mix of.

S

Townhomes and attached single-family running through this site. All of these.

S

Units front on a public street, so the street that you see with the parallel.

S

Parking spaces would have a sidewalk and tree plot on both sides. There's also a.

S

10-Foot multi-use path that runs through this site that would connect 17th street.

S

Through the property down to or out to, arlington drive as well, so this property.

S

Has access to arlington drive to the east, as well as to access drives to 17th.

S

Street to the south, and you can see those to access drives to 17th street on.

S

The left side of the screen here, those would be public streets. One of them is a.

S

Public street the other currently is in an access easement, but the petitioner is.

S

Working with the adjacent property owner to hopefully get that access, easement.

S

Dedicated as right away, so that it would be serviced by two public streets.

S

Running into the site and then another public street running out to arlington.

S

So this area area d is being proposed with a 112 units. Again this would be a.

S

Mix of one two three and four bedrooms over half of these would be one and.

S

Two-Bedroom units there are 240 surface parking spaces being shown here in a mix.

S

Of the parallel on street spaces, plus the perpendicular and again, this is the.

S

The rendering for those townhomes and duplexes that you see within that site.

S

So one of the issues that was brought up with the initial petition two years ago.

S

Was kind of a lack of environmental preservation or a greater possibility.

S

For increased preservation, so this slide here shows the hatched area represents.

S

The amount of environmental preservation, so the petitioners are setting aside.

S

Almost a third of the property and conservation and, as I mentioned at the.

S

Beginning part of the presentation, the substantially high quality vegetation is.

S

On the north side of the site, so the petitioners are setting aside all.

S

Of that, as well as the creeks and the wetlands that run through the site,.

S

They've incorporated a 50-foot conservation buffer between this.

S

Property and the singing of family uses to the east, although that's not required.

S

The petitioners saw an opportunity to increase the amount of preservation there, so they they place the additional area in preservation through there. So.

S

It's just over, I think 13 acres, that's being set aside with this petition, so.

S

One of the things that I mentioned with the public streets, this would be designed with the complete streets concept that would accomplish both.

S

Vehicular modes as well as pedestrian and multimodal so there's a 10-foot.

S

Multi-Purpose path that is being shown along the interior of the site, this.

S

Would run from arlington through the site and connect unto 17th street the.

S

City is in the process of, or is in the process right now of improving 17th.

S

Street, so this would connect to pedestrian facilities that run through.

S

17Th street that would connect out to the west and then also east, to the.

S

Roundabout on arlington and 17th and then connect further east. So this helps.

S

Connect a lot of missing pedestrian connectivity through this particular.

S

Area all of the interest rates would be public and dedicated and built to all of.

S

Our standards, so one of the other issues that was been heavily discussed with.

S

This petition and I'm not going to go into the exact specifics too much for my.

S

Presentation right now, I think there some others that might be able to if.

S

That's a question is bloomington transit access to this property, so one of the.

S

Issues with previous petitions has been connectivity and trying to promote.

S

Alternative transportation, as must as much as possible, so the petitioners have.

S

Committed to a contract with bloomington transit, where a shuttle service would be.

S

Provided to this development, it would not be an exclusive shuttle service if.

S

There are people or stops along the route. They would certainly service that.

S

But there would be a private shuttle that would serve this development to the.

S

Iu campus, so this is being slated to run throughout the week.

S

From morning tonight, and so this would be that transit route that you see on.

S

The screen in front of you, I believe the petitioners and others can.

S

Certainly speak to more specific details if there are questions, but that is a.

S

Contract that would be required with this petition and would run with this.

S

Approval for the life of it. So if this property were to sell this requirement.

S

Would be passed on to future owners, so one of the things, certainly in the.

S

Deplane, commission and staff reviewed with this petition was compliance with.

S

The comprehensive plan, so there are many aspects of the comprehensive plan that.

S

This petition encompasses that previous petitions didn't so there's a mix of.

S

Residential land uses, as well as a heavy single-family component. The density is.

S

Within the 2 to 15 units per acre, that is outlined for the neighborhood.

S

Residential area there's a single-family component that, as I mentioned as being.

S

Dedicated to the city and certainly represents a substantial public benefit.

S

This is a unique situation that we have not had with any other previous.

S

Development of land that is being given to the city that is in a build ready.

S

State, so that that is certainly something that the city can use to help.

S

Meet our diverse housing needs, the environmental preservation has been.

S

Substantially increased with this from previous petitions, you know I kind of.

S

Talked about that just a little bit ago, wide range of architectural styles, the.

S

Anti monotony standards help govern that and ensure that we're getting diverse.

S

Buildings throughout this petition, the petitioners have incorporated pedestrian.

S

Connectivity throughout this property that connects to both public streets so.

S

That is certainly something that encompasses a lot of what the comprehensive plan looks for, so with that the plane commission did recommend.

S

Forwarding this to you 8 to 0 with a favorable recommendation. This was heard.

S

By the land use committee that was mentioned earlier, that voted for 202.

S

Send this to you as well, so with that I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank.

A

You before we go to questions, is there a presentation where the petitioner and is.

A

It more than ten minutes very good. If you would please go, let's just have them.

A

All two and then we'll ask questions of both.

T

So hi I'm kimberly hansen, I'm a manager of design and development with trinity.

T

Us ventures and as usual, eric did an amazing job, so I am gonna. Try to just.

T

Hit some of the high points of the things were excited about with this development, but some of this will be repeat for you, so I think we're all.

T

Aware of the location, but this is an aerial view of it.

T

So to orient yourself, you would have west 17th street to the south and then.

T

Arlington road to the east, I proposed developments. It's on thirty nine point.

T

Two nine acres and will offer a variety of housing types. So we have apartments.

T

Townhomes duplexes and single-family homes we are setting aside fourteen.

T

Point six: two acres of green space, we'll have four hundred and fifty eight.

T

Parking spaces or fifty-six percent on a per bed ratio, lavis central retail space.

T

Where we're after offering 1700 square feet, community amenities, complete.

T

Streets that will be dedicated to this city and three access points to off.

T

Seventeenth street and one off our lincoln road, so as we were putting.

T

Together the site plan, the four areas of development that eric described really.

T

Emerged area a is the single-family lot that we hope to convey to the city area.

T

B is the townhomes and cottages area c, a four-story multi-family and limited.

T

Commercial building and area da is cottages and duplexes with a few.

T

Townhomes, so if you think about that aerial photo, I showed you you'd want to.

T

Flip it on its side, and you have west 17th street to the left side of your.

T

Screen and then arlington road to the bottom, the 100 foot, duke energy easement.

T

Is the hatched line that runs through the middle of the site and then all of.

T

The grade area is green space, with the darkest gray representing the wetlands.

T

So again, I did just want to touch on some of the things we're most excited.

T

About and one of those is area a itself we are recommending. This is zoned our.

T

For to allow for single-family, duplexes and plexes and we are proposing.

T

45, build ready single family lots to be conveyed to the city of bloomington for.

T

The development of workforce housing, the idea behind this is it will enable.

T

Homeownership for the missing middle here in bloomington, this will be.

T

Completed during phase one of construction and will include side, work.

T

Site work, roadways and utilities. Another thing we're excited about is the open.

T

Space and wetland protection that we have insured on site, so a full 37.

T

Percent of the site will be placed in conservancy easements. That's again,.

T

Fourteen point: six: two acres: we've also worked with red wing environmental in.

T

The army corps of engineers to identify all the wetlands and intermittent.

T

Streams on site there will be no encroachment on wetlands and all the.

T

Intermittent streams will be protected. We also had a tree survey completed.

T

Identifying the high quality trees that will be protected along I-69 and as eric.

T

Mentioned we increased the buffer to fifty feet where possible, to preserve those. We've also been very happy to work with lou mae on a proposed route 10 that.

T

Would service this community and go to various stops on campus and downtown.

T

This will operate on a 40 minute frequency year-round, so 7 a.m. to 10 20.

T

Monday through friday and then 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. saturday and sunday, these are.

T

Again, just those conceptual renderings, that's the four-story multi-family with.

T

The commercial space we hope the local business will want to come in and take.

T

Advantage of this community- and this is a look into area d with the townhomes in.

T

The front and the cottages in the back.

T

Again that view from I-69 and then I did want to touch on petition evolution so.

T

Since 2018 tern itas has incorporated some major changes that have really made.

T

This petition quite a bit different from what you've seen before these have.

T

Including establishing the plan to develop and convey the single family.

T

Lots to the city for workforce housing- this is in lieu of a housing fund.

T

Contribution will you prioritize maximizing open space and wetland.

T

Protection throughout the site, we worked with bloomington transit to create the new bus route to serve the community. This is.

T

In lieu of turn, itas operating their own private shuttles, there's the event. The.

T

Addition of retail space and thanks to all of the feedback we have received.

T

Italy and cute loose lien jews and plan commission we've made improvements to.

T

The site plan these included a more gridded street pattern, more parallel.

T

Parking increased diversity of housing types and individual development areas.

T

And townhomes that front and rab access roads. So in conclusion, this proposal.

T

Before you truly represents our maximum effort to deliver a project that meets.

T

The vision of the city of bloomington, while still maintaining the value.

T

Profited proposition for trinet us, this proposed community will look feel and.

T

Function in a way that is, unlike any turn, itas development. We are very.

T

Excited to move forward with it, so I do want to say thank you to everyone. That's.

T

Been involved, including eric and members of planning and transportation staff.

T

Doris and others at hand and, of course, the plan- commission land use committee.

T

And city council members, thank you thank you and that you brings you right to.

A

About 30 minutes for the total presentation, thank you both. Let's now go.

A

To 20 minutes of questions from council members before we go to public comment.

A

But after we hear a report from the land use committee chair, so the land use.

D

Committee met twice on february, 12th and february 26th, and the discussion on.

D

D

Focus on certain issues, including the support for more of a street grid with.

D

Alley connectivity, but we did learn about the constraints due to the wetland.

D

And the intermittent streams, as well as the utility easement that runs.

D

North-South through the middle of the site, and those were the reasons that.

D

There's not more of a street grid than we see here. We also investigated bicycle.

D

Pedestrian and connectivity to and from the site on.

D

February 12th committee members expressed support for a greater mixture.

D

Of different housing types and in response the petitioner added more.

D

Townhomes and parcel d and some cottage homes in parcel b and then committee.

D

Members were also very glad to see the petitioners agreement to get 45 parcels.

D

In lot a to the city for a workforce housing on february 26, we committee.

D

Members expressed support for an idea brought forward by councilmember valen.

D

To put parallel parking on the streets in parcel b and reduce the size of the.

D

Parking lots between the two rows of townhomes and we also discussed on that.

D

Day the possibility of putting in more solar panels and the difficulty of doing.

D

So, financially, due to the split incentive where the developer puts in.

D

The capital expenditure, but does not reap the benefit, because the tenants are.

D

The ones who pay for the electric bills, we did hear public comment at both.

D

Meetings from neighbors and they were mostly concerned about automobile.

D

Traffic and the uncertainty of what the build-out of parcel a would look like.

D

Of course that's up in the air, because that will be ceded to the city and the.

D

City will work with a developer and the specific site plan will come forward at.

D

A later date, we followed up the public comment with additional questions about.

D

The traffic study that was conducted to make sure that there would be no.

D

Significant impacts on the traffic and what we found from that traffic study.

D

Was that it would mostly be an impact on people trying to pull out or pull into.

D

The development itself and not an impact of people who live in neighboring.

D

Parcels but of course, the sign up final site plan will also consider traffic and.

D

The city always looks at traffic as development progresses.

D

So we came up with three reasonable conditions which we will get into later.

D

They had unanimous approval by the land use committee. You'll see two more come.

D

Forward tonight that were discussed by land use committee, but we're not in a.

D

Formal structure wording that we voted on and that's pretty much. The report.

D

From land use committee, thank you with that. Now, let's go to 20 minutes of.

A

Initial questions from council members I'll start on my right with morello.

B

Croelick, maybe you could answer this. What is the expected phasing of these.

B

Different sections is, is a to be done first or in what order are they to be to.

B

Be completed yeah, so that was something that is a condition of approval that.

S

Parcel a has to be done with the first phase, some more than likely and that's.

S

Kind of up to petitioners, whether that first phase would be for a parcel d or.

S

For parcel c, but whichever parcel comes first, a has to be included within that.

S

A

Really I have a couple of brief ones. Is there a name for the project? Besides.

A

West 17th street no name yet alright and I did have a question about area a.

A

Was parking on street contemplated there? In other words, what is the expectation.

A

Of of both the planning and the developers about, I mean because you know.

A

I appreciate it very much the the great detail and the area. That's the subject.

A

Of of my are co8, the area be where you can see all the perpendicular and.

A

Parallel parking on the street, but the streets of area a are unmarked and so.

A

It's not really clear to me whether there's an expectation that guests will.

A

Park on street, whether there will be driveways, can anyone speak to that? My.

U

Name is jeff fan you of by nathaniel associates the local civil engineer.

U

Whoops sorry, from another period yeah, I know you're good jeff go ahead, mostly.

U

Lots of an area will have alley access to the rear of the site where they could.

U

Have parking in the garage there is one care of lot sets on the.

U

East side that would probably have parallel parking on the street. All the.

U

Right ways within that area: a are 50-foot for dedication to meet city.

U

Standards so there's room for or on street parking, if so desired. So is it.

A

Safe to say that the street between areas a and b, where you've added the.

A

Parallel parking for area b is the same width as the streets within area a.

A

That's correct, so it's reasonable to assume that parallel parking is.

A

Available on there's room for parallel parking on both sides of the street.

A

There that's correct if the city desires a that took a cross section. Okay, I mean.

A

If we wanted the street to be narrower, say for only one lane of parking on the.

A

Street that that's doable here, it's not right right, a way to do either. One thank.

A

You, mr. garlic, I wonder, is there any expectation by the planning.

A

Department about whether the house on the site will have driveways or will.

A

They I mean, I did hear that there's an alley here, but will they be allowed to.

A

Have driveways, or will they be built so that they won't so these would be.

S

Designs that there were not be driveways on the public streets that the driveway.

S

Would come off of the alley very good and so on the the exceed the easternmost.

A

Lots here, where there's no access to an alley they'll there will definitely be.

A

Parallel parking on the street in front of those lots. Yes, very good. Thank you.

A

Are there any other questions, councilmember smith, the mr. feeny? Oh.

J

That perhaps you can address this there's a lot of great water features.

J

Kind of that and that have been preserved, is there any concern for that.

J

There there might be flooding in that area, no, we have provided bioswales and.

U

In individual area with tension areas, as well as a larger, centralized retention.

U

Water quality pond throughout the site that will control our stormwater quality.

U

As well as our stormwater runoff, thank you.

A

Further questions customer o'flaherty from president volans.

F

Question I kind of had the same thought when I, when I looked at this previously.

F

And never had asked it yet about parking on the streets in in part a parcel a I.

F

Wonder with alley access and driveways off the alley.

F

If, if a narrower street wouldn't be more desirable on those two streets, since the.

F

The street cutting east-west has parallel parking on both sides. Now I.

F

Wonder if streets that are narrow and only have one side of parallel parking would be more desirable and just you. I think mr. enlow just clarified that that.

F

Would be possible, my question is really first staff. I suppose, when is that.

F

Decision made, or has it already been made with the width of those streets.

F

Will be so that's something that would be done at the final planned stage so.

S

One thing I just want to kind of point out real, quick and I'll see if I can kind of draw this on this on the screen here is you know.

S

It's always possible that as we're evaluating this, that an ally could be.

S

Installed along the backsides of these lots that would circle around you know.

S

The petitioner has just shown you know the general shape of the lot general.

S

Area of the right-of-way, there can still be some small changes between this and.

S

When this comes forward with the final planned stage, so I just want to you know.

S

Point out that you know this is an illustrious.

S

Certainly a lot of detail has been given to that, but they're they're. You know the.

S

Discussion of on-street spaces or parking on one side, that's something.

S

That would be done at the final plants age once they've had a chance to work.

S

Out the specifics of a grading plan and how the topography works, so you know.

S

There's still a lot of flexibility that could happen here. Thank you. Thank you. My.

H

Question and maybe I've missed this with route 10 that was been selected and the.

H

Petitioners agreed to take care of that or add that, as part of the project, my.

H

Question is how long is is this agreement, as explained during the of the.

U

Land use committee, that that is a condition of the pud and it rides with a.

U

Pud the only way that could ever be eliminated if we came back and amended.

U

The pud to take that section out and then you'd have to approve it. Is that.

U

Correct yeah, so you know, without going too far in the details of the contract.

S

You know it's basically left up that every three years or so it could be.

S

Renegotiated to factor in right, rising costs, things of that nature, but it's.

S

Required in perpetuity with this petition, thank you any other first round.

A

Questions from members before we go to a second round seem a logo to cots mahalo.

A

Mr. furley, could you describe a little bit so there's going to be a a bike and.

B

Ped path within the facility, it doesn't connect to the.

B

Multi-Use paths on 17th street is that correct, correct.

B

And does that multi-use path connect eastward to toward campus? Does it turn.

B

The sidewalk- I can't remember just so so there are various stages of that side.

S

Path that the city's been slowly installing along 17th street, so right.

S

Now, I believe in craig can might be correct me if I'm wrong, but it will.

S

Extend all the way to the roundabout. We just recently installed a side path.

S

From the roundabout, I think on the north side of 17th and then there are, as you.

S

Continue east along 17th, there have been various sections of side paths that have.

S

Been stalled over the course of the past five years or so, but we're working to.

S

Get a continuous side path system along the north side of 17th street.

S

You know from done all the way to to this development, and craig can maybe.

S

Fill in a few details, there correction quarter, transportation and.

V

Traffic engineer eric's correct: we have a future project that we are actually in.

V

The design phase for a side path on the north side of 17th street from the.

V

Roundabout at arlington road all the way eventually to don street, where the on.

V

Campus mm-hmm, and that would be the plan, would be to design it and install it.

V

Within the next couple years- okay, terrific, that's good! I had one.

B

Other questions, may I please go on okay. My question was: what do you anticipation.

B

I would what do you anticipate for the commercial retail that's going to be occupying that space? Do you have any ideas? What could it accommodate? How many.

B

Square feet is it first of all sure, good evening my name is jeff knable, I'm with.

W

Turn itas development, so we have designed up to 1,700 square feet of.

W

Retail space we do not have a specific retailer or use in mind. We've outlined a.

W

Variety of uses that are allowable in that space, but to be sure, this retail in.

W

This location is somewhat of an experiment, given that we're not on a.

W

Major thoroughfare not visible from 17th street as an example, and so we'll see.

W

Will we have in-house expert mixed use in retail developers will work with them.

W

We'll reach out to the local brokerage community and try and get the best best.

W

Retailer for this location- in any case, it's probably going to serve that. That's.

B

What you're, anticipating, I think, it's fair to say that yeah up to 1,700 square.

W

Feet would would serve mostly this community sure others from outside the.

W

Community could stop by and use the services, but primarily, I think the.

W

Retailer would rely on the residents based here. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Any.

A

Further questions I got some over rosenberger. Thank you. It's a little on.

N

The side of the retail, since I asked about it last week, we had a nearby.

N

Resident on 17th email to ask about saving space for community gardens or.

N

Making some green space that is dedicated to gardening. I think that is a.

N

Good idea, since no one can walk to a grocery store from here and just.

N

Wondered what you all think about that and right: could you find some space.

N

Around the multifamily or in between some of the homes for a community area, I.

W

Mean yeah, I think, that's an excellent idea. It is a very densely developed site.

W

Outside of the open space present preservation areas, so we have a ton, a.

W

Ton of green space, a lot of the green space and open space preserved houses of.

W

Course, the older growth tree and tree canopy. So I don't think that would make.

W

A good place for community gardens, but if there are other areas on the plan.

W

That are open and that could be utilized for that. Certainly we'd be open to that.

A

I have one quick question about the retail spot: is there room in the.

A

Multifamily building should that retail spot be very successful for it to expand.

W

So the multifamily building houses the amenities for much of the community. If.

W

We saw really strong demand for retail, I'm sure there could be some.

W

Reprogramming inside that multi-story building reprogramming of the amenity.

W

Space perhaps to convert that to retail. If we saw that strong demand, I think.

W

That's possible, yes, and also do you have any intent to put a commercial hood in.

A

So that it might be a restaurant as opposed to a like subway only right, so I.

W

Think, before committing to a commercial hood, we'd really want to learn what the.

W

Retail possibilities are here and what those retailers who the those retailers.

W

Might be and what their demands might be for the space. Thank you yep. Thank you. If.

A

There are no further questions, then, with seven minutes left in that period, we'll.

A

Stop that and go to the reasonable conditions who would like to introduce.

A

F

Three needs a second motion in a second mr. flaherty. Will you please present.

A

Yeah I'll go over a few of the updates here from what we had initially voted on.

F

Last week that was recommended or zero do pass, the short of it was put in the.

F

Presentation, 360 days of service, excluding a few holidays with 40 minute.

F

Frequency and hours of operation, 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. monday through friday.

F

10 a.m. to 6 p.m. saturday and sunday, which is an increase from the initial.

F

Proposal from bloomington transit and petitioners, some details are listed.

F

There most of this language change is really dealing with uncertainty and.

F

Impossible eventualities in you know 10 15, 20 years down the line most likely as.

F

To what might happen with transit or if two transit funding changes, and we would.

F

Like to pursue a more frequent route or a different route, that is still.

F

Connected to this kind of laying out the terms of how renegotiations would would.

F

Proceed so I appreciate very much the petitioner working with us on developing.

F

That language over the last week or two, I think we are after some back and forth.

F

In agreement on the current draft and and and how that works for everyone, so I.

F

Won't go into detail on each provision there, but if anybody has questions about.

F

Any of them or any details of the reasonable condition I'd be happy to.

F

Answer them. Thank you. Alright, with that, are there any quest.

A

Staff, the petitioner, do you have any comments on rc3. Nope looks good for us.

S

Okay, with that, we go to questions from members on reasonable condition. Number.

A

Three any questions to my left to my right customer simms. Thank you and I.

H

Think this is for my colleague, matt flaherty. Do we have a feel on what the.

H

Beatty board of directors, since all this is subject on their approval, I'm not.

H

Looking for I'm not looking for a yes/no caucus.

H

Thing I just want to have a feel for what the board of directors is thinking.

H

About this sure, I think mr. main could probably speak to that. We've been in.

F

Touch in the development of this condition as well looma, a general.

X

Manager, bloomington transit. I have kept our board informed of the negotiations.

X

That we've had, I think, generally speaking, the board is supportive of it.

X

And I don't anticipate any issues from the board in terms of reaching agreement.

X

With the petitioner I like to follow up on that question, how many buses will.

A

Need to be added to the fleet in order to accommodate the new route, just one.

A

Okay, so there's room, in other words, that room.

A

To handle that how much more capacity does the current crimes lane facility.

A

Have for auditions of buses we're at about 90% capacity at grimes lane? We.

X

Could potentially add seven-day buses very good, any other questions on rc3.

A

Thank you, mr. may, if there are no other questions, we'll go to the public for.

A

Comment on reasonable condition: number three: if you have any comment, please.

A

Come to the podium is there any comment.

A

See no public comment. Pardon oh randy! I'm sorry, mr. paul! If you would come no.

A

Yeah, I didn't just didn't see a hand raised. That's all occasionally say.

P

Positive things, I think this is very good. I appreciate that petitioner beatty.

P

Working on this, I think some necks alone again thanks very much any other public.

A

Comment on our c 3 c, then we come back to the council for debate. Is there any.

A

Public or final council members gambler e. Yes, thank you. I appreciate this.

G

Reasonable condition as well, and I think public transit will be critical for this.

G

Area one suggestion I would offer or encourage transit to consider is.

G

Allowing route 10 to in some way connect with a grocery store in the other shops.

G

On north kinser, it's been observed several times that this this.

G

Neighborhood is not within walking distance to a grocery store or any other.

G

Store pretty much, and my understanding is that this route is not etched in.

G

Stone at this point, but I would encourage us to consider that but again.

G

I support this reasonable condition. Thank you for adding it. Thank you.

A

Councilmember piedmont, smith, yeah. I appreciate the work that mr. flaherty.

D

And the petitioner put into this reasonable condition, it's very detailed.

D

But I think the detail and the changes since last week are all to the better. I.

D

Really appreciate the petitioner expanding the hours on saturday and.

D

Sunday- and I think they had a good point about well, if there's another.

D

Development on this route, then, maybe that other developer could ship in something as well that that makes sense to me. So I'm happy to support this. Thank.

A

You any other debate on our c3 scene, then I will say at least that I take.

A

Councillors to gamble larry's concern to hart the debate that beatty is having.

A

Right now is on frequency versus accessibility, and it's something that.

A

Mr. paul spoke on earlier today. I think that the the the route to the old marsh.

A

The kin, the north kinser pike and kroger would actually be a more of a.

A

Diminishing return than there was a. There was a version of this map that had.

A

It going south the second street, the kroger, that's closer to the the.

A

Transit center might be as not as much if not more walkable than the more.

A

Practical for the bus to access than to go through the northside kroger.

A

I say that with regret I mean I would like it if it could.

A

And I'm looking forward to seeing what the final route would be. I don't even.

A

Imagine that it'll be numbered route number. Ten, once all is said and done.

A

They're in the midst of doing a redesign of their of the entire system. But you.

A

Know all this is rearranging deck chairs. That sounds negative. This is great. This.

A

Is great what I meant to say is this is window dressing? The important thing is.

A

That this project is committing $350,000 roughly a year in perpetuity or the for.

A

A route that will cost at least that much in year, 2022 or what-have-you and.

A

This is transit built into the project. It's what allows them to have less.

A

Parking in the project, what it you know directly goes to our concerns about.

A

Adding housing yet providing more sustainably by having less demand and.

A

Single occupancy vehicles, I mean this project alone may reduce some of the.

A

Single occupancy vehicle demand that was called for the tdm proposal that we.

A

Heard earlier today too, so I mean we need to see if we see any more big.

A

Projects like this, this is a template in which they should be working. The more.

A

Transit, we can build the last parking we have to supply and the more we can get.

A

Discouraged people to use vehicles by themselves and to find other ways to get.

A

Around so I support it wholeheartedly and with that we have a motion in a.

A

Second, will the clerk please call the roll on our c3 commerce, campbell laurie.

E

Yes? Yes, yes, yes, bounce man, yes, clarity, yeah,.

P

Smit, yes, sandburg! Yes, yes, that passes 9-0. We now go to reasonable condition.

A

For that's yours truly I'd like to move reasonable condition, for I have a second.

A

All right, all this asks is that, could we go to area b? I don't give myself five.

A

Minutes to present, but it should take less than that, so an area b. What this.

A

Called for is, I don't know, can we zoom in on the map at all mr. furley, so in.

A

Two areas here you see that the townhouses on the on the far left side.

A

Of this illustration that are now staggered before they were simply.

A

Parallel to the side of the screen, then now they make an effort to match the.

A

Curve of the road in front of it, the same is true for the row of townhouses.

A

Closest to the rightmost corner, in this case the north, the north corner. There.

A

Were the five sets of x has been staggered to match the curve of the road.

A

If the roads are going to be curved, the residences should front the street and.

A

Not simply be set back by a gap of green space and the petitioner has been kind.

A

Enough to to you know, cooperate with this and they've presented here. The map.

A

That you see, of course, the map is rough there. You know these indications. Are you.

A

Know more specific about how the houses will look than the single family lots to.

A

The north, it's just identifying where the housing.

A

Will roughly go, and I don't expect that it's going to look exactly like this.

A

Where it's just sort of staggered, I mean my hope is that they'll meet the curve.

A

Of the road and they'll have same amount of space between the front.

A

Door and the street that all their fellow buildings will have. I trust that.

A

Throughout the project, whenever they can they're going to try to make those.

A

Buildings match the street, but it's specifically in these two corners. They.

A

Have agreed to do so, and that's really all this rc holds without him happy to.

A

Answer questions.

H

Okay, seeing none public comment we'll go to the public.

H

You want to ask staff or petitioner saying none from the public we'll go.

H

Back to the council, do we have any council comments? Yes, sir, just like that.

A

That didn't I neglected to ask staff the petitioner if they had any concerns or.

A

Comments on our c4, no, I think that's pretty clear. Okay, final comments from.

H

Council councilmember hobbs, our questions been.

H

Called in second with a clerk, please call the roll.

E

Councilmember rosenberger! Yes, since yes, bullying, yes, few miles, man, yes,.

E

Clarity, yes, man, yes, sandberg! Yes, rolla, yes, scam alert! Yes, I.

E

Thought that's approved, 9 0 we're going out to the next rc. You have reasonable.

D

Condition number 5 ordinance 2004. Please go ahead and prevent this.

D

Reasonable condition is really just putting in writing something that the.

D

Petitioner said they were going to do anyway and that's instead of 8 vehicle.

D

Charging stations with solar power to generate the electricity there will be.

D

12, that's it questions well, quick check.

A

With staff and petitioner, any concerns no concerns from stan. No all right, so we.

A

Go down to questions from members on our c5 to my right to our left seat down. We.

A

Go to the public for comment on reasonable condition: number 5.

A

Seeing none we come back to the council for debate. Is there a final comment on.

A

Our c5 motion in a second will, the clerk. Please call the roll on our c5 member.

E

Simms? Yes! Yes, yes, clarity! Yes, men! Yes, sandburg! Yes, yes, campbell, airy! Yes,.

E

Frozen partner, yes, that passes 9-0, we go now to the next rc. Mr. chair, I move.

D

Reasonable condition, seven to ordinance 2004, we have motion in a second will.

A

That will please go ahead and present.

D

Okay, so this codifies what the petitioner has brought to us as slightly.

D

Revised site plans for areas b and d and represents an effort to mix it up a.

D

Little and add some townhomes in some additional townhomes amidst the cottages.

D

In area d and a few cottages amidst the townhomes in area b- and this is in.

D

Response to concerns by myself and perhaps some other land use committee.

D

Members that it would be that there's a homogeny of housing types, homogeneity of.

D

Housing types in areas, d and b- and this would make it a little bit more diverse,.

D

In those areas.

A

All right are there comments from staff or petitioner on rc7 mr. grillak, so I.

S

Guess you know my only my only real thought on that is just kind of the the.

S

Generality of it, and so what I, what we oftentimes encounter is, you know.

S

Something is shown here and when it comes to final plans, sage, they show oh.

S

Hey you know we want to take some of these townhomes and you know make them.

S

Into attached seeing a family, so it almost prefers some kind of a number you.

S

Know, and I'm just kind of talking out loud of what we you know, what I'm. What.

S

I'm concerned with, is you know, you know there are a section of town homes that.

S

Are shown here and then they want to take two of those and turn them into.

S

Duplexes, how how rigid is what we're, what they're, showing now to what we are.

S

Going to be holding them to when final plan stage comes around, that's that's.

S

The only thing that I'm kind of just giving a pause to you know a you know. I.

S

Would feel better with? Maybe a number of you know: 5% 10% diversity that that's my.

S

Only only kind of thought you know if the petitioner feels comfortable you.

S

Know committing to you know the the plan that's shown here then. That's certainly.

S

Fine, you know we just run into a lot of times. You know as things progress and.

S

Site plans get developed, you know small nuances changes, so I just want to kind.

S

Of get a feel from maybe the petitioner of how locked in they feel they are with.

S

What this is showing diversity was just a knable.

W

Thank you great point eric. I I'm looking at this and I'm thinking to myself how.

W

Do we maintain flexibility to account for those very things, the things that we.

W

Learn about and glean from a final site plan review ways to improve this. My.

W

Concern with locking us into something or a specific number is that we can't be.

W

Flexible and adjust as we learn more going through the final site plan.

W

Process that that's my initial thought is one of flexibility I mean I.

W

I could commit to the plan you have in front of you. That's what our architect.

W

Drew up, that's what we provided, it's what we stand behind, but if there are.

W

Improvements to be made to that, it seems healthy to allow for that flexibility.

W

During the final site plan approval process, that's our previous myth. Do you.

A

Have a response? No, this is the first I hear of these concerns, so I would need a.

D

Few minutes to think about this: let's go then to questions on our c7.

A

Councilmember sims, thank you. This is for the petitioner or staff either or I.

H

Guess mmm my first question is: has this been addressed in previous land-use.

H

Committee meetings, what we're talking this our seat tonight, correct yes, yeah.

W

So the desire was expressed to mix the product types more instead of having a.

W

Homogeneous zones of development- yes, okay, and was there a request of a.

H

Numbers or percentages from your standpoint, I don't believe we.

W

Established a number: no okay, council, member piedmont, smith. I might.

S

Suggest you know maybe just an amendment that says each area shall include a mix.

S

Of townhomes and attached single-family so that you know we do have that.

S

Diversity, without you know, locking them into one thing you might just like to.

A

Respond to mr. bullock's suggestion.

D

That seems reasonable to me. Does that conclude your question. Mr.

A

Simms, yes, further questions on our c7, while.

A

Customer view on smith whoops wrong period, while she furiously.

A

Writes any other questions on our c7, seeing none, why don't we go to the.

A

Public for comment on our c7 is there anyone who has an opinion on this.

A

Particular thing: seeing none we'll come back to the council for debate. Is there.

A

Any final comment on our c7, I mean this is all pending attention, rewording of it.

A

At which customer peeve on smith is working on as we speak,.

A

I would also entertain a motion to temporarily postpone it. While we take up.

A

Our c8, while they finish working it out, customer simms. How long will it with.

H

What eric just suggested it would that take very long, because it's a.

H

Fundamental change that I think we've all just talked about, so I'm not so sure.

H

I'd want to delay this much longer unless councilmember pete, moss man. It's.

H

These that that's a necessity to her, I think I have language that I would be.

D

Fine with, but I know that mr. sherman will have an opinion. Mr. sherman could.

A

You weigh in on this please no we'd like a moment to converse with staff and.

Y

Petitioner about how we might resolve it, it's okay! If we postpone further.

D

Deliberation until after rc8, a second motion in a second I've listed, is by.

A

Voice vote all in favor, say aye, aye opposed, say, nay, all right, we'll.

A

Postpone rc7 in favor of rc8 for the moment. Mr. chair, I move reasonable.

A

Condition to 8:00 to ordinance 2004, it's been moved in second councilmember.

H

Boland, please present yes, so during the land use committee, discussion.

A

On the 26th, I asked the petitioners to see what they could do about mitigating.

A

The parking lot feel without actually reducing parking at first. I want to say.

A

I want it be to complement the fact that they've managed to do a project. That's.

A

Nowhere near downtown with less than 0.5 spaces per bedroom parking. This is.

A

Already a great thing, but if you look at area b, the townhouses in the area where.

A

There's a lot of the wetlands they're preserving there were a lot of 90-degree.

A

Pair of perpendicular parking: that's what makes it feel like a parking lot.

A

And I asked them: can you spread out the parking so that it's all parallel.

A

Parallel parking is good, it slows traffic down. It feels more like a street.

A

Than a parking lot- and they did so they between last week and this week they put.

A

Out a map that you see in your packet that shows that basically, 2/3 of all the.

A

Parking in area b is now parallel, and that includes the main street between it.

A

And peres, and and area a if you guys could turn your microphones off. That.

A

Would be helpful mr. sherman, mrs. sherman, could you turn off your.

A

Microphone, please they are deep and thought all right. Thank you. Mr. knable.

A

You you can work for the city council a time you like so anyway. Full 2/3 of the 120 spaces, or so in this area are now parallel parking.

A

And a appreciable amount of parking and area d was already parallel. Every time.

A

That I or other people have requested that they think about this. The.

A

Petitioners have been very accommodating, and so I want you to look at map b and.

A

See if you don't agree that the streets feel more like streets in area b and.

A

That there's much less perpendicular parking in the area. That's what's in.

A

Question and reasonable condition number 8 right now with that, I'm happy to.

A

Answer questions mr. simpson, thank you going to.

H

The council do we have any questions from council colleagues, I would also ask.

A

Users, having opinions, say none going to the public. Do we have any public.

H

Comments they they shook their head. No okay, okay,.

H

There I go there: okay, any public comment from the public. Seeing now I'm going.

H

Back to final comment from the council.

H

Mr. councilmember flaherty yeah just briefly wanted to say I appreciate.

F

Council member rowland bringing this they appreciate- petitioners and architects and engineers working on it. I do think this is a much improved element.

F

Of that parcel and and will make we've all expressed, concern about with with in.

F

The area with a lack of a street grid and the feel of it being kind of like a.

F

Parking lot- and I think this does a lot to address those concerns, so I just want.

F

To say appreciate it. Thank you further council comments to my right.

H

Councilmember piedmont, smith. Yes, I also think this is a great revision to the.

D

Ordinance or reasonable condition to place on the ordinance the what I really.

D

Dislike about a lot of the townhome developments we have in bloomington is.

D

That they're, so car or focused they really feel like you know, this is not a.

D

Place for kids to play, this is not a place for people to hang out and talk.

D

This is a place for cars and so by narrowing the street narrowing the.

D

Distance between the two rows of housing, I think we go a long way to a more.

D

Community feel, rather than a parking lot, car focused feel to this part of the.

D

Development, so I appreciate the change. Thank you for that input.

H

Councilmember voland, the one thing I didn't want to mention until now was I.

A

Do also hope that, because there's flexibility in this project, it shouldn't.

A

Make that much of a difference, whether they do 90 degree or angled parking and.

A

If they can make the 90 degree parking, that's left angled parking. They could.

A

Also make it back in angled parking, which would also be better for everyone.

A

Including people passing by it not making it a requirement just asking what.

A

The heck, the previous project, pud that we approved, actually did innovate back.

A

In angle, parking over on long view and pinellas, but not making a requirement.

A

Just suggesting that it would, it would not hurt anyone to do it and it might.

A

Make the place even more desirable with that I had tired super up rule. Thank you.

H

Any further final comments from council where the clerk please call the roll on.

H

Reason book because it's condition number 8 call them class. I'm sorry.

G

Second, question has been called in second now: will the clerk please call.

H

The roll sounds remember bowling. Yes, yes, clarity.

Q

Yes, yes, panthers, yes, cammalleri, yes, rosenberger, yes, sims! Yes, that passes 9-0.

A

We come back now to our c7 sara motion to take it off the table. Second, all.

A

Right, miss piedmont, smith. What do you what say you well, I gave my sheet to mr.

D

Sherman's, though so we we have now reduced to writing, then you change that.

A

You'll find acceptable while it's being passed out. No, it's just one one copy.

D

Okay, if you will, please read it to us: yes, all right, so reasonable condition. Seven at the councils request the petitioner.

D

Submitted a modified preliminary site plan which, among other changes added.

D

More townhomes in area b and some cottage homes in area d.

D

So that's unchanged that first sentence those changes address the diversity at.

D

Those changes addressing the diversity of housing in areas b and d, as generally.

D

Depicted added the word generally in the modified site plan submitted by the.

D

Petitioner shall be a condition for approval of this proposal and then we.

D

Add the sentence: each area will include a mix of townhomes and cottages, say that.

A

Last times again, please each area will include a mix of townhomes and cottages.

A

Okay, that is the revised rc7. Are there questions from members so it may. I just.

D

Yes, please, okay, so so these slight revisions that we made allow a bit of.

D

Flexibility, so that if the petitioner, you know in the course of developing.

D

This project finds that this particular site is more conducive to a townhome or.

D

Cottage they they have some flexibility there. They don't have to do exactly what.

D

We're looking at tonight, but it's clear that we want a mixture of those two.

D

Housing types in both of these areas is that, okay with staff- yes, absolutely.

A

Petitioners they're good with it. Okay, let's go now to questions consummate.

A

Rosenberger, I guess my question. Well it's more of a comment, but it's just.

N

That when you say each each area will have a mixture, I I think you're talking.

N

About areas b and d, but there are four areas of this site plan, and so you might.

N

Want to say areas, b and d: if that's what you're talking about all right, I mr.

D

President, may I yes please that since the immediately preceding sentence says.

D

Areas b and d ii- I believe it's understood that that's those are the.

D

Areas we are talking about.

A

Then it's your question. It does any further questions on our c7 is revised.

F

Have to vote on the unamended to this. Is that correct? We just submitted ehrman.

Y

Moved to amend the reasonable condition in line with the modified version we've.

F

Received you motion the second any questions. Public comment on the revision.

A

To him at the to our c7 final comment on our c7 motion, please with a clerk please.

A

Call the roll on they revision. The amendment to our c7.

R

Okay comes my rep iman smith; yes, clarity! Yes, smith! Yes, bamberg! Yes, yes, scam!.

B

Blurry, yes, rosenberger! Yes did you get that? I'm sorry, it's a yes sims! Yes, bowen.

E

Yes, the revision is accepted: nine zero. Now we come to the rc seven as amended.

A

Are there any questions for it as amended? Seeing then we go to the public.

A

For comment on our c seven, as amended c no comment come back to the council for.

A

Debate any final comment on our c: seven.

H

Motion is second, will the clerk please call the roll on our c seven as amended.

A

Council, member flaherty? Yes, yes, yes, cammalleri! Yes, rosenberger! Yes, finn! Yes,.

X

Bowling? Yes, yes, that's accepted nine zero as well.

A

All five rcs accepted nine zero. We come back now to ordinance 2004 as amended.

A

Through reasonable conditions, there any follow-up questions for members about.

A

Ordinance 2004, as amended to my right to my left.

A

Seeing none we'll come back, we'll go to the public for comment on ordinance, 2004.

A

As amended, here's your chance to speak to the project as a whole. Any member of.

A

The public seeing them would come back to the council for final debate to.

A

Anyone who has a comment on ordinance 2004 as amended councilor, piedmont, smith,.

A

Five minutes, yes, I would like to thank the members of the land use committee.

D

For efficient work and for hashing out three of the five reasonable conditions.

D

In writing before our meeting tonight and the other two, the ideas were out.

D

There they were discussed, so we did not leave.

D

To the last minute, any of our suggestions to improve the project. I.

D

Would also like to thank the petitioner, who was very patient and made changes.

D

And very accommodating to suggestions from la land use committee. We appreciate.

D

That I'd like to thank eric garlic and the staff who worked on this in the.

D

Planning transportation department- and I think this this is a really wonderful.

D

Petition because we are going to get 45 lots given to the city where we can.

D

Develop workforce housing- and this is a really pressing need in our community.

D

It's very very difficult for people of moderate income to find a home to.

D

Purchase in bloomington- and this will add 45 of them with possibility for.

D

Accessory dwelling units, and maybe some duplexes and there as well, so I think.

D

This is a great place to try out our new are for zoning, which we approved with.

D

The you do and it's very exciting, so I appreciate trinity oz agreeing to that. I.

D

Also, I'm excited about the bus route. This is the second pud we've approved.

D

Where the petitioner has paid for a bus route- and I think this is great.

D

Certainly the the location calls for it is an ideal place to have a bus route.

D

Because it is located pretty far away from campus and other employment and.

D

Shopping and so it would really be necessary to use a car if there was no.

D

Bus and so this makes it more accessible to people of lower incomes, people who do.

D

Not drive, and it helps us achieve our goals that we heard about earlier. This.

D

Evening to reduce single occupancy vehicle use and our goals that we're.

D

Going to talk about tomorrow, night about reducing greenhouse gas emissions and.

D

And meeting our climate change obligations, so the bus route is also a.

D

Big plus here, so I'm very grateful for that. I'm gonna be happy to vote. Yes on.

D

This project, thank you, councillor sandberg. I do want to acknowledge the.

Q

Trinity's team, miss hanson and everyone who we work with at the planning.

Q

Commission level, it's really been a pleasure to see the adaptability and the.

Q

Flexibility in such a light-year difference between this proposal and.

Q

What originally came this checks off all the boxes? It did then it's it's been.

Q

Improved over the process up till now, but this is hopefully a gold standard.

Q

For other developers to take a look at as we go forward to try to meet the.

Q

Housing needs of this community appreciate you. Thank you. Thank you.

A

Councilmember scambler, thank you. This project is in the district that I.

G

Represent so I have more than just a sporting interest in seeing this turnout.

G

Well, several bravo's are in order first of.

G

All to plan staff for the work you've done plan commissioned land use.

G

Committee, ordinarily, I'm the kind of person who tends to have a lot of.

G

Questions about things like that and I didn't tonight because I've had a chance.

G

To vet this all along, so I'm really pleased about that.

G

Trinity, oz, you've done a really remarkable job at engaging the.

G

Neighborhoods, too, I know that this has been a subject of two constituent.

G

The first time I think I walked the property with you is back in october and.

G

I know that you have spent time with a crescent been neighborhood association, a.

G

Number of times so I really appreciate what you've done to engage crescent bend.

G

And west 17th and the reserve at chandler's glen and a lot of the.

G

Surrounding areas, so thank you for that. I also want to applaud those those.

G

Neighborhood associations to particularly miss carrie winkle for her.

G

Leadership with the crescent bend neighborhood association, I received a.

G

Email from her at 6:29 this evening, saying, I don't think we're gonna come it.

G

Looks good so so thank you for your good work and I.

G

Will be enthusiastically supporting this proposal. Thank you guys very scamp.

A

Valerie any other final debate: no no council, member class, burr flaherty brief.

F

Yes, thanks to the many folks who worked on this, including petitioner, to bring it.

F

To this point, to really substantial benefits here in the lots that we're.

F

Getting is a city, of course, and the transit piece both of those are really.

F

Meaningful so I think that adds a lot to this project. There's one of the voice.

F

Again, a desire to work on the split incentive issue in the context of large.

F

Complexes petitioner has suggestions or thoughts or wants to follow up it anyway.

F

Please do I mentioned I intend to follow up with mr. crowley who's in the back of.

F

The room it's high on my to-do list in the near future, so I'd like to continue.

F

The brainstorm and work on that in the context of larger multifamily rental.

F

Developments, I just wanted to get that out there thanks. Thank you any other.

A

Final comment: all right, I'll take my opportunity. I do trust planning.

A

Transportation to do the right thing on area a streets, I think, no matter what we.

A

Come up with whether there's an alley on the far east side or not, I think it'll.

A

Be fine just the idea that will follow as the areas b and d having parallel.

A

Parking on the street, so we should do the same in area a with area, a even.

A

Though it won't be built out, the net increase in housing in this project will.

A

In fact, be the largest housing project in the city's history.

A

It's larger than the one that was approved of north walnut. That was shrunk.

A

Slightly, it was started out at a 25, I think, but unlike the cdg project, which.

A

Invested $130,000 a year in perpetuity for their bus route, albeit it's closer.

A

To iu for 750 beds, this project, it's 825, not not mentioning the single-family.

A

Houses that might be built in area a and they're investing almost three times as.

A

Much in transit that right there has permanently raised the bar for what we.

A

Should expect of law projects, but this this project does more.

A

Than that it's I like to think of it as a very sensitive development approach. I.

A

Mean they checked with everybody they they got the buying of the nearby.

A

Neighborhoods they they accommodated all the requests that lanny's committee.

A

Members had and then some they were sensitive to to council's.

A

Concerns and the project is so much better than what we saw two years ago.

A

Let alone I mean this is better than what we saw at the beginning, even though.

A

It was a very good, a beginning, let alone the initial project two years ago, which.

A

Was quite contentious in comparison, this shows, first of all, that there is.

A

Pressure to develop housing- and you know we we needed to act on it, but we got a.

A

Much better project as a result, I think that also the new innovation of the.

A

Committee, submitting questions in advance helped smooth the process when.

A

It came to council I, but the only thing I mean. I appreciate this very sensitive.

A

Investment in the community, the only other thing I'll point out in closing is.

A

The trinity logo looks suspiciously like the iu logo and I don't know how that.

A

Plays in bloomington but- and I even wonder more how it plays it where, in.

A

Your hometown of lafayette, so with that, if there's no other but will the clerk.

A

Please call the roll on ordinance 2004 as amended councilmembers smith. Yes, yes,.

E

Yes, campbell larry, yes, rosenberger! Yes, yes, bowling! Yes, piedmont! Smith! Yes, learn.

E

Yes, that's an, I know, vote. Congratulations. Thank you. Bill is a good.

A

Project with that, we go now to legislation for first reading. We have.

A

None so we'll go now to our period. A second period of open public comment on.

A

Items that are not on the agenda is there anyone in the public who would.

A

Like to comment on items that we have not discussed tonight, seeing none, we.

A

Come back to the council for discussion of our schedule. Mr. sherman, please speak.

A

Close to the mic.

Y

Just a minute, so the minute tells it okay. Yes, thank you. There are a number of.

C

Actions the council may want to take tonight regarding its schedule. The first.

C

Is to cancel the committee of the whole meeting that was supposed to take place.

C

Immediately following tonight's regular session that appeared on our annual schedule, given that there is no legislation for first reading, that.

C

Meeting is no longer necessary and, as a corollary, next week's regular session is.

C

Not necessary either because there's no legislation up for second reading at.

C

That meeting and no new legislation coming forward at that time, so the.

C

Council should entertain a motion to cancel both meetings. Is there such a.

A

Motion motion in a second all in favor, please signify by saying aye, aye aye.

A

Opposed say, nay, the eyes have it. Both meetings are cancelled. Mr. lucas, the.

C

Next item, I believe, is a possible special session that the council may.

C

Want to schedule for march 25th, this comes up by the request of the.

C

Administration to consider an ordinance refunding certain water bonds earlier.

C

Than what we had originally scheduled, this item was going to come forward to.

C

The council for first reading on april 2 first, the administration has asked not.

C

Only could we move it up, but could we also have the council possibly consider.

C

That ordinance and take action in one evening the council is able to do that.

C

If, if there's unanimous consent to hear it and two-thirds majority to adopt it,.

C

The reason that there is an urgency is that apparently, a dip in the bond market.

C

Has meant that by taking action earlier, the city could see substantial savings.

C

On on refunding these bonds, I don't know the exact number. I don't know that.

C

Anyone does markets fluctuate, but this comes on the advice of the bond council.

C

And the controller jeff underwood to act quickly. I will note that this item could.

C

Be heard at a work session that I will mention at the end of scheduling on.

C

March 13th, so the council could have an opportunity to hear about it then, and.

C

Then act if it's ready on march 25th at 1:00 meeting, if it would like to do so.

C

The council should schedule a special session for that evening to enable it to.

C

Act and approve that ordinance in one go. There's a motion in the packet is anyone.

A

Who would like to make that motion before so we can entertain it, and- and I.

C

Will note that the motion in the packet also includes a contingency that, if the.

C

Council is not ready to act on march 25th. It may want to refer the ordinance.

C

To the utilities committee to consider that same evening, which would then.

C

Enable final action on april the 1st and given the uncertainty around the.

C

Scheduling the motion in your packet would also authorize the president to.

C

Cancel any unnecessary meetings, if that makes any sense.

C

Does someone would like to make the motion as printed in the packet.

D

Immediately followed by a meeting of the utilities committee for march 25th, 2020.

D

At 6:30 p.m. and to grant the president the authority to cancel any unnecessary.

D

Unnecessary meetings for that evening, including the previously scheduled.

D

Committee of the whole motion in a second subject to limited debate. And as.

A

Amendable, it's a simple majority to pass any questions or comments on this motion.

D

Let me just make sure I understand I realize I'm the one who made the motion.

D

But I was reading it the so this would allow for if the council does not feel.

D

Comfortable with or does not have, the votes necessary for hearing it in one.

D

Session in making a final vote in the special session to instead refer it to.

D

The utilities committee right standing committee, which would then meet that.

C

Same night to discuss it and then report back to the full council on april.

C

The 1st okay, counselor flaherty. I understand this to be essentially.

F

Contingency planning, if for some reason, we can't hear in one night.

F

We'll have already noticed the utilities committee meeting in anticipation that.

F

Might be needed, that's correct! Okay! Yes, as this was explained to me, the.

A

The refinancing would have taken place in the cycle of april 1st, 7th 15th and.

A

That the bond counsel has advised that any way we could move it up would make.

A

It more likely that we could save roughly 2.6 million dollars in interest.

A

By refinancing, and while it's not a sure thing that we won't be able to do it by.

A

The 15th we just are trying to ensure that we can take advantage of the change.

A

In the market, mr. flaherty is, is there a particular reason why we couldn't take.

F

This up at our march 11th originally scheduled regular session next week. Yeah.

A

It hasn't actually come out of utilities, yet there, the usb. My understanding is.

A

That they're tearing it on the 13th themselves, that's either the 12th or the.

C

13Th yeah, given the usb action that still has to take place and the need for.

C

Council staff to review it and and package it for the council march 25th.

C

Date was the first available date, which was earlier than april 15th. I believe.

C

Was when it was going to take place? Thank you. That's for simms, oh don.

H

Quixote service board meetings have been scheduled on same nights. We have burke.

H

County city convention center meetings, so I guess don't you put me on the spot.

H

I have no comment that did that did not mean to put you on the spot. I just.

A

Thought you might have something to say and I will note this is sort of an.

C

Emerging idea, it was brought up by the administration yesterday. I know that the.

C

Usb was talking about when they could meet to consider it. So everyone's trying.

C

To to move quickly to take advantage of potential large savings for the city.

C

This just gives us a chance to hear a little bit early. If we decide to do it.

A

It will require unanimous consent to adopt in one night and 2/3 2/3 approval.

A

To adopt it in so in case, we we don't have that kind of.

A

Unanimity then we need to plan to have it heard somehow, but either way we can.

A

Move it up to as early as the 25th or april. The first is there any other.

A

Question I any other questions on the motion. Seeing none I'll entertain uh all.

A

Right well, the clerk. Please call the roll on the motion. Sandburg. Yes, yes, yes,.

E

Yes, yes, bullying, yes, good matt smith, yes, 30.

E

Yes, yes, all right that passes 9-0! Thank you. We have a couple more items. Mr.

A

Lucas. The next item is an offshoot of the passage of standing committees in.

C

Talking through how these committees are going to work and thinking through their.

C

Scheduling both the administration and council staff have seen a need to give.

C

The council president, more authority to to schedule these standing committee.

C

Meetings and to approve their agendas so you'll see in your packet a draft motion.

C

To grant this authority to the president there's a included rationale that sort.

C

Of explains the the reasoning behind the motion, but essentially it would grant.

C

The president, the ability to set agendas and to schedule these matters in advance.

C

Of first reading of a piece of legislation, which is what happens now,.

C

With regular sessions committee, the holes and special sessions, our code.

C

Includes that authority, the motion would not remove the ability of the council to.

C

Make a final decision about a referral at that first reading, but it would give.

C

The president, the authority to make a referral and then the council could.

C

Override that, if it disagreed with the president, so the idea behind this is to.

C

Give the administration and council staff a little more certainty earlier in.

C

The process to ensure that the right staff members are in the room.

C

And to ensure that they can schedule their schedule, their own affairs around.

C

These committee meetings, so I'm happy to answer any questions about it. This would.

C

Require suspending the rules and that would take a two-thirds vote of the.

C

Council tonight, to do that the motion is drafted would be time limited and we've.

C

Included a date of september, the 1st of this year, which would match when the.

C

Interview committees that the council's is still using, it would match the date.

C

That those are going to no longer be in existence, so the idea is that this would.

C

Be time limited where it? This is a new process and we're still sort of figuring.

C

Out what gaps there are in in the steps along the way? So if this doesn't work, if.

C

There issues it could be changed by another suspension of the rules by the.

C

Council, however, if it does work, this may be something that we need to change in.

C

Our code to make more permanent, so if someone to make the motion, thank you mr.

A

Lucas rules under bloomington municipal code, 2.0, 4.25, five and two point: zero.

F

Four point: two: seven: zero until september 1st 2020 to give the council.

F

President, in consultation with the vice president and the various committee chairs the authority to approve the agendas and starting times for meetings.

F

Of council standing committees, the president shall also have the authority.

F

To refer legislation to the appropriate committee before the meeting at which.

F

The legislation is introduced for first reading, but such a referral may be.

F

Changed by emotion, approved by majority of the council, when the legislation is.

F

Introduced for first reading, if motion in a second, this is debatable and.

A

Amenable and needs two-thirds majority to pass other questions on this motion.

A

See no questions there. Any comments debate on it motion is second with a.

A

Clerk, please call the roll on the motion under allah.

E

Yes, it's camilleri, yes, rosenberg, yes, sims! Yes,.

A

Bowling? Yes, few months, man, yes, clarity; yes, men.

E

Yes, sandberg; yes, that's also approved 9 0. Thank you, mr. lucas. Thank you just a.

C

Few reminders, if you'll give me just one second.

C

Councilmember flaherty mentioned that there is a meeting tomorrow night at.

C

7:00 p.m. at the mill that is, a potential meeting of the council. It's.

C

Been noticed and all are welcome to attend that there's also a march 13th.

C

Work session that I mentioned, where three items are up for discussion at.

C

That meeting I've mentioned the first one, which is the water bond refunding.

C

That we talked about there's also a potential amendment to the salary.

C

Ordinance for 2020 that you could hear about, I believe, that's an annual review.

C

Of the salary ordinance and any necessary changes that would come.

C

Forward from hr the last ordinance that would be ready for discussion at that.

C

Work session is the adoption of conversion maps and correcting text for.

C

The you do this wouldn't be, I don't believe any change to the zones, but just.

C

The conversion from the old zones to the new zones, so those are the three items.

C

That would be ready for discussion at the work session.

C

Council members might want to indicate if they are intending to attend, who can.

A

Attend a work session on what the friday, the 13th at noon, raise your hand 1 2, 3,.

A

We've at 6:00 looks like we should hold that session. Thank you, okay. You know any.

A

Other matters mr. sherman looks like our agenda. The.

Y

Burka inform me that the agenda listed the.

Y

Minutes that you approved as january 5th, actually that was january 15th, so the.

Y

Record could reflect that those minutes were approved. That is those four the.

Y

Fifteenth we appreciate it. Thank you dude. Do we need to take any.

A

Action, I think we all you know this ought to be enough. It's just a statement.
