A
D
A
E
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
have
a
little
bit
to
say
so.
I'll
have
to
go
fast
today,
I
think
many
of
us
have
heard
that
the
County
Commissioners
suspended
the
community
Justice
response
committee.
Today,
I
haven't
heard
any
other
details,
but
what
I'd
really
like
to
hear
is
an
explanation
is
why
not
necessarily
for
rebuttal
discussion
but
I'd
like
to
know
why
and
then
why?
Now
next
point
I
would
like
to
announce
that
poll
workers
are
needed
for
Election
Day
on
May,
the
second.
G
We
need
workers
or
I'm,
sorry,
I
shouldn't
say
we
workers
are
needed
from
both
parties
and
coverage
is
done
in
bipartisan
teams.
So
you
need
to
call
election
Central
and
talk
to
a
recruiter
and
they'll
make
sure
you
get
a
place
to
help
out
on
Election
Day
next
item
I
want
to
say
thanks
to
council
member
Isabel,
Piedmont
Smith
for
her
last
week's
commentary
about
the
two
black
Tennessee
House
of
Representatives
that
were
expelled
and
they
have
since
been
reinstated.
G
G
G
Their
statement
with
regard
to
non-participating
candidates
is
as
follows:
there
are
a
few
candidates
who
choose
who
chose
not
to
fill
out
our
questionnaire,
regardless
of
the
Reason
Not,
submitting
responses
for
this
voter's
guide.
It
shows
disrespect
to
Bloomington
voters
further,
since
our
organization
supports
and
advocates
for
black
and
other
systemically
marginalized
people.
Candidates.
Refusals
to
provide
answers
for
this.
Voter
guide
should
remind
us
that
the
majority
of
the
Bloomington
political
landscape
landscape
is
built
to
sustain
anti-black
practices.
G
It
was
made
very
clear
the
importance
of
this
guide
and
those
who
we
serve.
Additionally,
we
reminded
them
multiple
times
and
gave
them
seven
full
days
to
complete
the
questionnaire.
We
therefore
render
a
strongly
disagree
assessment
for
each
of
the
candidates
who
did
not
engage
again.
This
is
a
quote
for
black
lives
matter
b:
town,
it's
not
from
Jim
Sims.
G
G
I
also
saw
on
a
media
post
from
some
individual,
and
what
this
comment
was,
it
said.
A
questionnaire
about
four
percent
of
the
population
is
not
a
way
to
assess
a
candidate
for
mayor
and
I'm,
assuming
for
any
other
elected
office,
four
percent
I
assume
is
meant
to
identify
bloomington's
black
population
and
I.
Think
technically
it's
more
like
3.8.
But
that's
not
the
point
of
this
comment.
G
G
G
Now
I
understand
and
I
had
to
fill
one
out
the
last
election.
It
is
pretty
thorough
and
of
the
four
people
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
That
did
not
respond.
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
discussing
with
two
of
them
and
without
going
into
any
details,
we
do
have
commitments
and
obligations
in
life
that
sometimes
gets
in
the
way
of
some
of
the
things
we
fully
intend
to
do.
G
The
other
person
I
discussed
with
and
their
comment
was
I
just
didn't
have
time
to
write.
A
thesis
I
want
everyone
to
understand
that
not
responding
to
the
questionnaire
and
it's
your
choice.
This
is
America,
but
this
represents
way
more
than
black
people.
Blm
b-town
represents
more
than
the
black
population.
G
Monroe
County
NAACP
represents
more
than
the
black
community.
We
have
Advocates,
we
have
people
who
oppose
discrimination,
people
who
oppose
races,
policies
and
wish
to
see
that
so
I
am
a
little
bit
disappointed
the
lack
of
response,
even
though
I
don't
hold
anyone
at
a
and
I
intentionally.
Didn't
mention
names,
I,
don't
think
that's
important,
but
I
don't
hold
those
Folks
at
fault,
particularly,
but
this
is
important
being
election
season.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
H
I'd
like
to
ask
the
council's
representative
to
the
solid
waste
management
board,
I'd
like
to
just
summarize
the
study
that
was
released
this
month
by
Consultants
regarding
an
anaerobic
digester
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
and
you
see
a
summary
of
the
conclusions
here.
Let
me
try
to
explain
what
what
all
those
acronyms
and
everything
means.
H
So
this
study
was
undertaken
to
see
if
it
would
be
feasible
to
install
an
anaerobic,
digester
So.
Currently,
the
the
organic
matter
that
comes
to
the
wastewater
treatment
plants
is
processed
aerobically,
meaning
it's
it's
kind
of
sorted
out
and
it's
just
kind
of
left
in
the
sun
to
to
to
get
to
get
dried
out,
and
then
it's
hauled
away.
H
So
the
study
was
to
find
out
whether
it
would
be
technically
and
financially
feasible
to
instead
use
that
organic
matter
to
create
energy.
So
the
first
finding
here
you
see
is
that
the
Dillman
Road
wastewater
treatment
plant
is
the
preferred
location
instead
of
the
blucher
pool
plant,
which
is
smaller
and
which
is
located.
H
Not
it's
not
on
a
major
highway
like
Domin
road
and
it
doesn't
have
as
much
space
on
its
property.
So
Dillman
Road
number
two,
so
some
of
the
the
mechanical
additions
and
changes
that
would
be
needed
for
anaerobic
digestion
will
benefit
city
of
Bloomington
utilities
anyway.
So
this
is
what
number
two
is
saying
that
those
Prime
the
high
those
grit
removal
and
high
filtration
additions
would
not
only
benefit
what
they're
calling
the
resource
recovery
project.
H
That's
the
project
that
was
studied,
but
it
would
benefit
operations
in
general,
so
number
three
volumes
of
High
and
now
now
I'm
blanking
out
High
something
organic
waste.
Oh
my
goodness,
so
many
too
many
Acura,
acromenza
acronyms
I'll,
have
it
for
you
in
just
a
second
high
strength.
High
strength.
H
Organic
waste
is
what
that
means,
and
so
the
study
showed
that
if
we
have
additional
high-strength
organic
waste
in
addition
to
what
is
already
in
our
Wastewater
stream,
then
we
could
generate
revenues
from
tipping
fees
for
people
who
bring
that
waste
to
utilities
and
it
could
increase
the
biogas
or
the
energy
that
could
be
produced.
H
So
the
two
alternatives
for
energy
production
are
combined
heat
and
power
and
renewable
natural
gas,
so
renewable
natural
gas
is
something
that
it
can
be
processed
from.
These
organic
wastes
that
can
then
be
used
to
fuel
vehicles,
for
example,
or
any
other
uses
you
you
may
have
for
natural
gas.
H
There
are
some
buses
that
that
use
RNG
for
fuel,
but
it's
really
as
far
as
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
It's
not
the
preferred
way
to
go
because
there's
still
a
high
methane
content
in
that
RNG,
so
the
CHP,
the
combined
heat
and
power,
is
really
the
preferable
way
to
go
as
far
as
the
environmental
impacts.
I'm.
Sorry
I
think
that
was
my
editorial
statement.
I,
don't
think
the
study
actually
said
that,
but
CHP
has
strong.
Economic
potential
is
what
they
showed
number
five.
H
So
even
if
you
have
an
anaerobic
digestion
process,
you're
gonna
end
up
with
some
some
solids
at
the
end.
Some
end
product
and
the
end
product
here
could
be
used
as
a
Class
B
land
application,
which
means
that
it
could
be
used
in
certain
kinds
of
farming
or
amending
the
soil.
H
Now
it
can't
it's
not
a
Class
A,
so
it
can't
be
used
like
in
actually
farming
food
I
believe
because
it's
not
processed
enough,
it's
not
pure
enough,
but
a
Class
B
land
application
is
a
better
alternative
than
just
throwing
the
stuff
in
the
landfill
which
is
being
done
now.
Number
six.
Recent
tax
credit
legislation
can
offset
after
up
to
50
percent
of
the
eligible
project
costs.
So
that's
pretty
self-explanatory
and
it's
good
news.
H
And
finally,
the
resource
recovery
program
will
directly
address
at
least
10
different
goals
in
the
city's
climate
action
plan
and
sustainability
plan,
and
one
thing
that
was
discussed
at
the
presentation
last
week
is
that
there's
in
order
to
meet
those
10
goals,
there's
going
to
be
some
expenditure
of
funds.
So
it's
a
matter
of
comparing
the
expense,
the
investment
capital,
investment
of
programs
such
as
the
anaerobic
digester,
with
other
expenditures
that
would
help
us
attain
the
goals
equally
quickly.
H
A
I
You
council,
member
Sandberg,
yes,
thank
you.
The
Jack
Hopkins
Social
Services
committee
began
its
work
last
night
and
we
had
45
agencies
apply
this
year.
That
was
quite
the
banner
number.
We
have
935
547
in
requests
and,
of
course,
the
Jack
Hopkins
fund
has
323
000
in
allocations
to
to
give
out.
So
the
decisions
were
quite
difficult
and
seeing
who
would
be
coming
to
the
agency
presentations,
which
will
be
April
27th
at
5
30..
We
wish
everyone
well
who
is
coming
forward
and
looking
forward
to
another
Grant
round.
Thank
you.
J
Honor
and
remember
David
Howard,
who
passed
away
on
April
10th
I,
want
to
Express
gratitude
for
getting
to
know
him.
Sorry,
my
computer,
just
up
and
for
the
work
he
has
done
in
our
community.
David
always
had
a
million
things
going
on
at
once,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
some
of
the
great
work
he
did
for
housing
and
economic
development
in
downtown
one
of
his
first
projects:
David
rehab,
the
Sullivan
building
on
North
Washington
Street,
adding
two
stories
to
the
building.
A
positive
example
of
incremental
and
infill
development.
J
J
J
David
was
seen
as
an
Energizer
Bunny
a
force
of
Nature
and
wildly
productive.
He
was
a
foodie
who
brought
awesome
chefs
and
delicious
food
to
his
restaurants
from
the
best
gelato
and
in-house
roasted
coffee
to
Lobster
Spring
Rolls.
He
played
the
cello,
he
minored
in
cello
performance
and
quartets
around
town
for
almost
20
years,
and
he
co-owned
First,
Light
Farms,
growing,
organic
mushrooms
and
microgreens
David
could
I
identified
Community
needs
and
figure
out
how
to
provide
for
them
from
small
scale
developments
to
mushrooms
one
of
the
many
wonderful
things
about
David.
J
Was
he
loved
dreaming
big
with
his
clients
and
business
partners?
Anything
you
could
think
of.
He
responded
with
oh
yeah.
We
can
do
that.
His
death
is
a
tragic
loss
and
my
heart
is
with
his
friends,
family
and
all
of
those
impacted.
The
memorial
service
for
David
will
be
held
at
Allen
Funeral
home
from
1
to
3,
P.M
Sunday
April
30th.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
Echo
those
sentiments
that
councilman
Rosenberger
shared
David
was
a
terrific
human
and
he'll
be
missed.
I
also
wanted
to
mention
Micah
Stewart
meeting,
which
is
Monday
April
24th
5,
30
PM.
You
can
access
details
to
the
zoo
meeting
at
bloomington.in.gov,
Council
also
happy
Earth
week
to
folks
and
Earth
Day
is
coming
up.
This
Saturday
April
22nd.
The
city
has
a
celebration
taking
place
at
switch
yard
Park
from
1
to
5
PM.
C
There
will
be
food
and
drink
vendors,
also
celebrating
kickoff
of
bike
month,
there's
raffle
prizes
and
also
the
Indiana
nonprofit
called
greater
Indiana
is
coming
to
Showcase
EVs
and
a
variety
of
electric
vehicles.
Chargers
talk
about
incentives
for
Ev
ownership
and
and
we'll
have
experts
on
hand
to
answer
questions
also
I
was
excited
to
hear
the
report
from
my
colleague,
Isabel
Piedmont
Smith
I've
been
excited
about
that
study
and
all
the
due
diligence
going
into
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
resource
recovery
plan
for
quite
a
while.
C
I
was
also
excited
to
learn
that
combined
heat
and
power
is
the
recommendation
from
the
study.
I
think.
That's
that's
absolutely
the
way
to
go.
As
some
folks
know.
The
wastewater
treatment
and
City
Bloomington
utilities
is
the
largest
electricity
consumer
in
the
in
Monroe
County.
That's
not
just
governmental
among
all
entities
and
I
think
I
want
to
explain
how
it
works
just
a
little
bit,
because
I
want
to
explain
how
this
really
is
a
lot
better
than
aerobic
digestion,
which
just
basically
releases
CO2
directly
into
the
air,
with
no
benefit.
C
Now
we're
going
to
capture
that
CO2
through
anaerobic
digestion
and
instead
of
generating
CO2,
it's
going
to
be
methane
CH4,
but
instead
of
piping
that
methane
anywhere,
where
it
might
leak,
which
is
the
downside
that
councilmember
Piedmont
Smith
referenced,
we're
keeping
it
on
site
combusting
it
and
releasing
that
same
CO2
that
would
have
been
released
anyway,
but
instead
generating
electricity
that
will
power
the
plant
so
that
displaces
fossil
fuel
generation
that
we're
currently
being
supplied
by
Duke
Energy
who's,
not
in
any
great
hurry
to
decarbonize.
C
C
But
now
there
is
a
direct
pay
option
for
municipalities,
as
well
as
for
non-profit
entities
like
Hoosier
energy,
for
instance
the
the
non-profit
member
Cooperative,
that
that
operates
a
lot
of
the
rural
parts
around
our
community
and
surrounding
counties.
So
that's
a
really
impactful
piece
of
the
federal
legislation,
climate
legislation
from
the
last
year
that
will
help
cities
like
ours
as
well
as
nonprofits
in
our
community,
and
that
is
it
for
me
thanks.
C
A
And
I'll
finish
up
I'd
just
like
to
acknowledge
the
very
very
good
work
done
this
past
weekend
at
the
fritz
Terrace
neighborhood
cleanup
thanks
to
John
Zodi
and
his
staff
in
housing
and
neighborhood
development,
our
Public
Works
staff,
our
sanitation
staff
and
especially
to
the
dozens
of
Volunteers
in
Fritz
Terrace,
who
actually
worked
on
that
and
put
in
scores
and
scores
of
volunteer
hours
to
collect
everything
from
scrap
metal
to
branches,
to
tradable
items
it
was.
A
It
was
an
excellent
day
and
an
impressive
day
and
just
Bravo
to
all
those
who
did
that
work.
So
thank
you,
everyone
that
takes
us
to
reports
from
the
mayor
and
city
offices
and
I
believe
we
have
all
received
a
memo
from
economic
and
sustainable
development
regarding
the
Hoosier
energy,
tax
abatement
and
I
believe
we
have
Mr
Crowley
with
us.
K
Thank
you,
council
president
scandaluri,
yes,
Alex,
Crowley,
director
of
economic,
sustainable
development
before
I
get
going
with
this
a
couple
things
I
wanted
to
thank
council
member
Flaherty
for
his
promotion
of
Earth
Day
and
the
the
event
happening
at
switchard
on
April
22nd
I
encourage
everybody
to
go
out.
The
weather
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
okay,
so
we
were
worried
about
it,
but
it
looks
like
it's
gonna
be
a
really
great
event.
K
It's
it's
a
it's.
A
collaboration
between
the
efforts
of
the
transportation,
demand,
management,
project
and
sustainability,
and
it
should
be
a
lot
of
fun.
Another
great
example
of
esd's
collaboration
in
fact,
is
something
that
that
is
initiated
by
students
at
Bloomington,
High,
School,
South.
It's
called
Samsung
Saul
for
tomorrow
and
I
would
encourage
people
to
Google
that
and
vote
for
Bloomington
High
School
South.
K
It's
a
terrific
project,
Holly
in
our
department,
has
been
involved
in
placing
that
mural
near
Wonder
lab
so
vote.
You
can
vote
once
a
day,
so
I
would
encourage
you
again.
It's
called
Samsung
solve
for
tomorrow
and
they've
created
a
white
paint
that
reduces
heat.
So
it's
this
really
cool
project
and
just
check
out
the
video,
so
I
wanted
to
promote
that
if
I
could
but
I
digress.
And
today's
item
is
the
the
Hoosier
energy
Rural
Electric
Cooperative
tax
abatement.
K
Typically,
we
come
to
you
once
a
year
in
mid
to
late
June,
to
review
every
tax
abatement
that
has
been
put
in
front
of
us
and
that
is
ongoing
to
evaluate
whether
or
not
a
recipient
is
meeting
the
expectations
of
the
tax
abatement
and
those
are
submitted
to
us
in
a
process
that
involves
involves
a
form
that
is
due
on
May
15th
and
then
the
council
has
45
days
to
evaluate
and
if
necessary,
pursue
additional
information,
approve
or
otherwise
deal
with
these
submissions
that
the
challenge
and
problem
with
with
the
process
is
that
if
someone
submits
a
form
early,
the
45-day
clock
starts,
and
that
is
the
case
here.
K
Hoosier
energy
has
submitted
early,
which
means
that
the
45-day
clock
would
expire
before
we
had
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
following
the
May
15th
deadline.
So
we're
coming
to
you
early
somewhat
atypically
Hoosier
energy
has
done
a
great
job
submitting,
but
unfortunately
they
did
it
early.
So
we
have
to
come
to
you
a
little
bit
out
of
process
in
order
to
give
you
the
opportunity
to
react
to
this
in
advance
of
the
termination
of
the
45-day
period.
K
So
hopefully
that's
clear
and
the
memo
that
that
we
put
together
and
it's
a
special
thanks
to
dee
de
la
Rosa
in
my
department
for
doing
this-
summarizes
our
evaluation
of
their
submission.
This
year,
Hoosier
energy
has
been
consistently
exceeding
expectations
when
it
comes
to
the
tax
abatement.
So
it's
a
good
example
of
a
well-placed
well-judged
tax
abatement.
It
is
in
year
six
of
its
10-year
tax
abatement,
you'll
see
in
the
memo
a
couple
of
highlights.
K
Hoosier
energy
was
formed
in
1949,
it's
owned
by
18
Rural
Electric
cooperatives
in
2013,
the
EDC
approved
resolution
12,
the
economic
development
commission,
I,
should
say,
approved
resolution
1202
and
then
common
Council
Then
followed
up
with
a
tax
tenure
tax
abatement
approval
in
in
2013
with
resolution
1303..
K
So
they
have
this
terrific.
If
you
haven't
seen
it
a
terrific
property
Leed
certified
headquarters
on
the
southwest
side
of
Bloomington
again
they're
in
year
six,
we
looked
at
what
they
had
originally
promised,
how
they
have
met
those
commitments,
and
it
is
our
recommendation
to
you
that
and-
and
we
will
make
this
formally
also
in
June,
but
that,
given
the
limitation
in
the
45-day
period,
it's
our
recommendation
to
you
that
we
feel
like
they
are
solidly
meeting
the
expectation
and-
and
we
wanted
to
share
that
with
you
today.
K
That
is
you've
asked
me,
a
question
that
I
will
need
to
follow
up
with
you
on.
My
understanding
is
owned
actually
by
cooperatives,
so
the
remcs
right.
So
it's
a
kind
of
consolidator
of
that
and
I
believe
I
I
want
to
say
that
they
are
redistributing
that
energy,
but
I
will
need
to
get
back
to
you
about
that.
F
Thank
you,
Mr
Crowley.
Can
you
tell
us
the
number
of
jobs
that
I
know
that
there's
always
jobs
that
are
attached
to
the
abatements
so
for
over
this
period
it
says,
there's
looks
like
plus
29
jobs.
What
was
the
target.
K
So
yes,
this,
this
tax
abatement
was
a
combination
of
a
commitment
to
capital
investment
and
to
jobs.
In
this
case,
it
was
actually
retained
jobs
at
the
time
of
the
original
approval.
The
capital
investment
was
a
20
million
dollar
investment.
The
retained
jobs
at
the
time
of
the
original
approval
was
116
jobs.
They
have
exceeded
that
and
are
now
at
145
jobs.
They've
also
exceeded
their
capital
investment
by
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
C
Answer:
councilmember
Piedmont,
Smith's
question:
if
that's
helpful,
so
there's
two
types
of
cooperatives,
there's
generation
and
transmission
cooperatives
and
there's
distribution
cooperatives,
the
former
is
what
Hoosier
energy
is
and
they
are
basically
a
Cooperative
of
cooperatives
as
Mr
Crowley
indicated.
So
the
distribution
co-ops
are
the
ones
who
actually
interact
with
the
customers,
build
them
and
set
the
rates
and
that
sort
of
thing
they
get
their
power
from
the
generation
of
transmission
co-ops.
So
those
gnts
as
they're
called
like
Hoosier
energy
that
are
made
up
of
all
the
distribution.
C
Co-Ops
they're,
the
ones
that
procure
the
powers,
they're
building
generation
assets
and
then
probably
also
buying
power
off
the
off
power
markets.
Essentially
so
they'll
have
a
combination
of
those
two
things:
I,
don't
know
what
their
current
mix
is.
I
know
they've
got
a
fair
amount
of
renewable
initiatives,
but
it's
doubtless
still
a
mix
of
gas
at
least,
and
probably
some
coal
as
well.
That
I
think
they
describe
it
as
an
all
of
the
above
portfolio.
A
L
Yes,
I
think
that's
correct.
Mr
Crowley
mentioned
that
if
the
council
were
to
have
concerns
about
this,
there's
a
45-day
window
to
take
steps
to
get
more
information
from
the
property
owner
and
possibly
rescind
the
abatement.
If
that's
not
the
will
of
the
council
tonight,
you
don't
need
to
do
anything
unless
the
council
takes
steps
to
rescind
this
abatement
they'll
be
able
to
receive
their
their
abatement
and
again
Mr
Crowley
mentioned.
E
K
It's
actually
when
the
a
good
question:
it's
actually
when
the
the
council
received
the
the
what's
called
a
cf-1,
which
is
the
annual
reporting
mechanism
that
require
that
is
required
of
recipients
of
tax
abatements
and
we've
actually
received
another
one,
but
it
was
mistakenly
set
to
us,
and
so
we
can
actually
hold
that
and
not
have
to
start
that
clock
until
the
time
comes
then
make
sure
that
it
starts.
K
But
in
this
case
this
was
sent
to
you
to
the
council
office
and
because
of
that,
it
triggers
that
that
45-day,
clock
and
I
believe
the
end
date
is
April
28th.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,.
E
L
I
believe
it
was
filed
with
the
the
clerk's
office.
They
typically
receive
these
forms
on
behalf
of
the
council,
so
it
was.
There
was
a
little
bit
of
time
before
anyone
realized.
Oh,
this
had
started
the
clock.
In
that
time,
we
worked
with
ESD
to
see
how
they
wanted
to
handle
this
early
filer.
It's
my
understanding
that
ESD
tries
to
communicate
with
the
property
owners
to
essentially
not
start
the
clock
for
the
council.
L
K
Do
you
think
they're
just
very
on
top
of
their
game,
and
we
do
appreciate
that
it
does
create
a
little
complication
for
us,
but
I
think
they
just
were
getting
it
done.
A
That
takes
us
to
reports
from
Council
committees,
I'm,
not
aware
of
any,
but
that
doesn't
mean
there
aren't
any
so
seeing
none.
Let's
continue
to
our
first
period.
First
of
two
periods
of
public
comment:
okay,
this
is
for
items
not
on
the
agenda
or
could
I
have
a
show
of
hands
and
Chambers
of
those
who
would
like
to
offer
comment.
Thank
you.
If
you
would
like
to
approach
the
podium
and
Mr
Lucas,
could
you
extend
our
invitation
on
Zoom?
Please.
L
Yes,
if
they're
members
of
the
public
on
Zoom
that
would
like
to
comment,
please
let
us
know,
by
raising
your
hand
in
Zoom,
you
can
find
that
raise
hand
button
in
your
control
bar
under
the
reactions,
tab
or
the
more
tab.
You
can
also
send
a
chat
to
the
meeting
host
to.
Let
us
know
you'd
like
to
speak.
M
Evening
my
name
is
Sean
Hall.
My
mother
is
the
Saul
Creek
Township
Trustee
and
I
sit
on
the
Township
board.
I
would
like
to
address
the
city's
housing,
affordability,
crisis
and
the
effect
it
has
on
the
township,
because
the
cost
of
living
is
so
high
in
Bloomington
it
pushes
people
into
the
township
which
drives
up
costs
there.
Our
constituents
can't
afford
to
pay
their
rent,
so
they
come
to
the
township
for
eight.
Essentially,
taxpayers
in
our
Township
are
subsidizing
the
city's
inability
to
control
housing
costs.
This
is
not
acceptable.
It's
not
sustainable.
M
The
township
does
not
have
a
bottomless
pot
of
money.
Recently
we
had
a
low-income
constituent
who,
because
they
were
unable
to
find
affordable,
housing
in
Bloomington
was
forced
to
live
in
a
camper
at
Payne,
Town
state
recreational
area
with
two
small
children
think
about
that
two
small
children
are
living
in
a
camper.
That
is
an
Abomination.
That
should
never
happen
if
this
body
does
not
know
how
to
address
the
exorbitant
cost
of
housing,
I
suggest
to
take
a
look
at
Missoula
Montana,
which,
like
Bloomington,
is
a
liberal
college
town
and
a
red
state.
M
That
city
is
in
the
process
of
rewriting
its
building
and
Zoning
codes.
One
of
the
primary
goals
of
their
code
reform
is
to
streamline
and
simplify
code,
which
will
allow
them
to
make
even
more
Headway
on
permit
review
timelines,
alongside
reducing
the
review
times
for
all
other
land
use
review
without
needing
to
add
significant
capacity
to
their
planning
team.
M
A
recent
study
from
Pew
trust
found
that
quote
that
rents
rise
and
more
people
need
housing
relative
to
how
many
homes
are
available.
Restrictive
zoning
policies
make
it
harder
and
more
expensive
to
build
new
housing
for
everyone
who
wants
it,
and
most
researchers
have
found
that
this
drives
up
home
prices
and
rents.
M
But
what
happens
to
rents
after
new
homes
are
built.
Studies
show
that
adding
new
housing
Supply
slows
rent
growth,
both
nearby
and
regionally,
by
reducing
competition
among
tenants
for
each
available
home
and
thereby
lowering
displacement
pressures.
There
are
solutions
to
the
housing
affordability
crisis.
This
body
simply
needs
to
Avail
itself
of
them.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
N
Yes,
this
is
Jim
Shelton
good
evening
Council
representing
the
Bloomington
Chamber
of
Commerce,
but
speaking
at
the
moment
on
behalf
of
court
appointed
special
Advocates
or
concept.
It's
that
time
of
year
for
Casa
to
have
their
spring
training
session.
It
will
be
in
just
about
a
month,
it'll
start
on
May
22nd
and
run
through
June
14th
it'll,
be
on
Monday
Wednesday
and
Thursday
evenings
from
5
30
to
8
30..
N
The
application
deadline
is
May
5th,
so
you've
got
just
a
few
weeks
to
decide.
If
maybe
this
is
a
volunteer
opportunity
for
you
or
not,
and
to
get
your
application
in,
you
can
go
online
to
monroecanocasa.org
click
on
the
volunteer
link
when
you
can
find
a
lot
of
information
about
being
a
cost
of.
What's
the
cost
it
does
of
when
the
trainings
are
Etc?
N
N
It
would
be
about
33
hours
of
training,
then
they
would
be
sworn
in
by
judge
Harvey
and
would
be
in
effect
on
officer
of
the
Court
and
would
represent
children
who
are
in
the
justice
system,
not
because
of
anything
they've
done,
but
because
of
their
parents,
things
they've
done
or
not
done
when
children's
are
determined
to
have
been
abused
or
neglected
by
their
parents.
The
court
will
reach
out
to
the
casa
program
and
asked
to
assign
a
volunteer
to
work
with
the
child.
N
While
the
child
is
in
the
court
system,
you
be
the
eyes
and
ears
of
the
Court.
You
would
visit
the
child
monthly.
You
would
visit
with
the
parents
with
the
foster
situation
or
wherever
the
child
is
being
placed,
and
you
work
with
providers
If.
The
child
is
old
enough
to
be
receiving
services
in
the
school
system.
N
If
that's,
if
the
child
is
old
enough
for
that,
and
then,
when
the
Court's
going
to
have
a
hearing
depending
which
time
between
hearings
varies
but
at
least
twice
a
year,
you
would
be
asked
to
write
a
report
and
be
at
the
court
and
perhaps
ask
questions
about
your
report.
So
the
judge
has
the
most
information
that
she
can,
or
he
mostly
is
Judge
Harvey
at
the
moment,
to
decide
the
best
things
to
do
to
for
the
good
of
the
child.
What
kind
of
service
does
the
child
might
need?
N
How's,
the
child
doing
is
the
place
the
child
is
working
out.
Well
for
them,
are
they
safe?
Have
there
been
any
problems,
and
then
you
would
also
provide
status
on
how
the
parents
are
doing
when
the
child
is
determined
to
be
a
chance,
a
c-h-I-n-s,
a
child
in
need
of
services.
The
parents
will
be
given
a
bunch
of
a
list
of
things
they
need
to
do.
A
disposition
order
is
called
to
be
reunited
with
their
children,
and
you
would
help
monitor
how
they're
doing
and
how
let
the
court
know
how
things
are
going.
N
A
typical
case
will
run
a
couple
of
years,
so
we
ask
that
people
who
decide
to
volunteer
for
this
be
able
to
commit
to
that,
and
one
of
the
things
that
Acasa
does
that
the
Department
of
Child
Services
has
trouble
doing
is
providing
continuity
throughout
that
period
of
time.
They
have
an
awful
lot
of
turnover.
I've
had
a
case
which
had
been
about
three
years
and
had
five
different
family
case
managers
on
it
from
DCs.
N
There
is
also
a
lot
of
turnover
and
a
provider
community,
so
you
would
end
up
often
being
the
only
constant
to
this
child
other
than
their
Foster
placement,
and,
quite
frankly,
sometimes
there
will
be
two
or
three
of
those
during
the
course
of
the
case.
So
you
would
be
the
constant
in
the
child's
life
and
sort
of
be
a
rock
that
they
can
depend
on
and
feel
and
know,
they're
all
that
you're
going
to
always
be
there
well
they're
worried
that
maybe
their
parents
won't.
So
it's
a
great
volunteer
opportunity.
N
You
need
to
be
able
to
commit
to
about
8
to
15
hours
a
month
and
it's
very
rewarding
when
you
get
to
the
end
of
a
case
and
you've
been
contributor
to
getting
the
child
back
into
a
good,
safe,
permanent
situation,
either
back
with
their
parents
who
have
straightened
out
their
ship.
If
you
will,
or
have
been
the
course
determined
that
they
need
to
be
adopted,
so
I
want
to
bring
that
word
to
everybody,
and
thank
you
guys
for
the
opportunity
to
spread
the
word.
O
What
needs
more
attention
and
What
needs
revision
and,
finally,
how
can
the
vision
for
housing
and
neighborhoods
in
the
comprehensive
plan
be
reflected
in
next
year's
budget?
I,
encourage
you
to
think
about
these
as
new
fiscal
year
resolutions
and
look
at
some
selected
housing
specific
items
in
the
comp
plan,
I'm
just
going
to
mention
a
few
goals
just
to
refresh
on
that.
O
One
includes
goal
5.1,
which
is
housing;
affordability,
including
access
to
affordable
housing
for
a
Continuum
of
needs
in
Bloomington,
including
people
experiencing
homelessness,
low
income,
moderate
income
households
and
striving
for
permanent
affordability
in
both
rental
and
owner-occupied
housing
options,
and
that
includes
expanding
and
sustaining
Housing
Programs,
designed
to
serve
the
identified
long-term
housing.
Affordability
needs
of
these
to
achieve
an
income,
diverse
and
inclusive
City,
and
establishing
affordable
housing
in
locations
with
close
proximity
to
schools,
employment,
centers,
Transit,
recreational
opportunities
and
other
Community.
O
And
then
finally,
I'll
comment
on
programs
that
cover
affordable
housing,
which
the
comprehensive
plan
addresses,
including
evaluating
the
range
of
housing,
types
and
income
levels
throughout
the
city.
To
identify
opportunities
were
greater
diversity
and
income
and
housing
types
should
be
encouraged,
working
with
the
Bloomington
housing
authority
to
ensure
ample,
affordable
community
housing
options
are
available
to
BHA
clients,
including,
but
not
limited
to
public
housing,
Section
8
housing,
Choice
vouchers
and
Section
8
project-based
vouchers,
and
in
particular,
partnering
with
Monroe
County
government
to
coordinate
and
maximize
affordable
housing
strategies
and
leverage
available
resources.
O
O
Because
if
you
measure
it,
you
can
measure
progress
and
if
there
isn't
progress,
you
will
know
that
and
finally,
I'd
like
to
encourage
you
to
also
consult
other
resources
that
have
been
produced
since
the
comprehensive
plan
was
issued
in
and
approved
by
the
council
in
2018,
and
this
includes
the
heading
home
strategic
plan,
the
Bloomington
Udo,
which
you
will
be
looking
at
amendments
to
tonight,
so
continuing
to
keep
those
two
closely
coordinated.
The
comprehensive
plan
should
be
consistent
with
the
Udo
and
vice
versa.
O
The
housing
and
neighborhood
development
or
hand
Department's
Consolidated
plan
and
then
the
analysis
of
impediments
to
fair
housing,
choice
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
finally,
the
Bloomington
housing
study,
which
was
published
in
2020.
All
of
those
are
relevant
and
important
to
improving
housing
conditions
and
affordability
in
the
city
and
I,
encourage
you
to
look
at
how
to
coordinate
those
so
that
they
are
in
alignment
with
each
other.
O
A
D
A
D
D
B
Ordinance
2304
to
amend
Title
20,
unified
development,
ordinance
of
the
Bloomington
municipal
code
regarding
technical
correction
set
forth
in
Bloomington
Municipal
Code
20..
The
synopsis
is
as
follows.
This
petition
contains
Corrections
or
clarifications
in
the
Udo.
These
errors
range
from
missing
references
to
terminology
correction
to
missing
text
to
syncing
references
across
the
Udo.
There
are
19
amendments
identified
some
appearing
multiple
times
in
the
code.
A
P
Here,
oh
you're,
over
there,
you
moved
thank
you,
Jackie
Scanlon
development
services,
manager,
planning
and
transportation,
and
we
have
four
ordinances
to
get
through
tonight.
This
is
the
first
and
so
I
will
be
taking
you
through
those,
let's
see,
okay,
so
this
first
ordinance
was
seen
by
plan
commission
at
its
March
hearing
under
case
number
z00423,
and
they
voted
to
send
the
petition
to
the
common
council
with
a
positive
recommendation
with
a
vote
of
nine
zero.
P
So
just
by
way
of
recap,
planning
and
transportation
department,
it
has
been
doing
annual
updates
to
the
unified
development
ordinance,
as
you
know,
which
is
Title
20
of
the
Bloomington
Municipal
Code,
the
last
regular
update
being
done
in
Spring
of
2022,
and
this
being
another
version
of
a
regular
maintenance
code
update
without
large
policy
changes.
No
changes
to
permitted
uses
or
zoning
districts
are
included
in
any
of
the
updates
I'll
discussed
tonight.
So
this
is
the
first
again
ordinance
23-04,
and
this
is
the
one
we
refer
to
as
technical
Corrections.
P
Okay,
so
you
can
see
here,
I
believe
we
talked
about
this
last
time,
but
when
we
do
updates
to
the
word
document,
sometimes
it
updates
the
links.
So
you'll
see
a
number
of
these
updates.
For
example,
here
it
says
development
standards
and
incentives,
and
then
it
just
says
development
standards
and
incentives
directly.
Next
to
it,
nothing
has
changed
in
the
content
of
those.
P
When
you
see
a
link
like
that,
that's
updated,
that's
just
something
that
word
does
so
those
are
not
changes
that
we
are
proposing
for
some
reason,
I
believe
it
has
to
do
with
the
link
in
the
page
number
that
it
goes
to,
and
so
it
updates
automatically
when
you
work
on
a
large
document
like
this,
so
our
first
update
here
is
that
again,
these
are
mostly.
These
are
all
technical,
so
mostly
Corrections
and
clarifications,
as
was
read
by
the
clerk.
Here's
our
first
example,
you
can
see
downtown
character.
P
Overlay
was
listed
twice
in
the
district
table,
so
we're
just
taking
away
one
of
those
labels,
and
then
here
the
next
few
pages
is
our
new
tro
section
and
then
more
and
that
these
are
just
spelling
errors
that
were
left
in
letters
missing,
and
that
is
what
is
on
those
pages
that
I
just
went
through
and
then,
when
we
get
here.
These
are
kind
of
hard
to
see,
for
example,
here
there's
an
extra
space
between
this
word.
So
again,
this
ordinance
is
very
much
just
a
cleanup
ordinance.
P
We
ran
the
spell
check
on
this,
which
we
I
guess
had
not
done
in
the
previous
years,
so
it
caught
a
number
of,
for
example,
extra
period
on
this
page.
This
page
is
included
because
of
an
extra
space
Extra
Spaces
here
on
this
page
as
well.
P
Misspelled
word
on
this
page.
In
this
case,
this
is
slightly
more
substantive.
These
are
two
different
regulations
listed
here
as
d
and
e,
and
they
had
it
some
time
been
combined
into
one
but
are
to
function
separately
so
moving
the
text
of
the
second
portion
into
its
own
letter
here
under
e,
is
what
we're
doing
on
page
32.,
an
extra
numeral
here
on
page
33,
and
then
this
one
you.
What
you're
looking
at
in
this
ordinance
on
this
page,
is
only
the
vision,
clearance
update.
So
under
D
we
had
a
formatting
error.
P
Last
year
on
last
year's
update,
I
believed,
where
a
number
of
the
vision
clearance
references,
something
was
inserted
into
them.
That
was
incorrect,
so
this
cleans
that
up.
So
you
see
that
here
the
other
two,
the
other
changes
you
see
through
e
e,
f
and
then
strikethrough
you'll
see
those
in
a
different
ordinance.
P
It's
just
one
large
Redline
document.
So
all
we're
looking
at
on
this
page
in
this
ordinance
is
that
Vision
clearance
update
and
then
the
next
few
pages
are
renumbering
these
tables.
So
that's
what's
happening
with
this
update
again
we'll
talk
about
the
content
of
these
tables
under
an
another
ordinance
later
this
evening,
but
what's
Happening
Here
is
the
renumbering.
P
You
can
see
here
on
page
50
that
this
is
another
Vision
clearance
correction,
more
table
numbering
on
page
51,
an
extra
punctuation
on
page
52.
P
Taking
out
the
word
non-residential
here
in
the
reference,
because
that
is
not
the
way
that
it
is
defined,
that's
not
the
term
that
is
defined
so
syncing
that
with
the
existing
defined
term
and
then
punctuation
space
here
for
district
on
page
56,
swapping
of
that
for
a
van
on
page
57.
Another
table
number
here
on
page
58.
P
P
An
extra
space
on
page
60,
Extra
Space
on
61.
P
so
again
a
number
of
just
typographical
errors
here,
where
you
can
see
that
a
reference
source
was
not
linked
so
putting
in
that
link
for
that
location
here.
P
And
then
we
go
to
our
definition
section.
This
is
taking
out
the
sentence
at
the
end
of
a
definition
for
buffer
yard,
indicating
that
a
buffer
yard
is
an
addition
to
and
separate
from
setbacks.
That
is
something
that
lives
in
another
chapter
that
we
are
proposing
to
remove
with
another
update,
so
this
would
be
syncing
with
that
proposal.
P
P
And
then
for
use
change
in
there
are
two
changes.
One
is
clarifying
that
change
in
use
is
not
something
that
we
apply
when
an
individual
tenant
Center
in
a
single
multi-tenant.
Excuse
me
an
individual
tenant
space
in
a
single
multi-tenant,
Center
switches
out.
We
don't
apply
change
in
use,
regulations
and
then
updating
the
term
as
well
in
number
seven
to
multi-tenant
Center.
That
is
all
we
have
for
this
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
H
Yes,
on
page
64
of
our
packet
under
thresh
thresholds
for
minor
and
major
site
plan
review
adhere
as
the
first
part
minor
site
plan
review.
There's
an
item
number
five
that's
deleted.
Can
you
tell
me
why
that
is.
P
Being
sure
so
that
will
actually
appear
in
the
another
ordinance
later
this
evening,
that
won't
be
approved
with
this
particular
ordinance,
but
the
reason
that
it's
excluded
is,
as
we've
updated,
the
as
we've
updated
the
thresholds,
difference
for
major
and
minor
site
plan.
This
is
kind
of
a
carryover
from
the
old
code
and
it
is
Incorporated
in
in
all
of
the
other
options,
so
it
is
Incorporated
in
the
one
two
three
and
four
above
there
is.
P
There
is
not
a
situation
where
five
could
be
triggered
in
one
of
the
other
triggers
would
not
also
be
triggered,
but
you
will
see
that
when
we
discuss
chapters
the
chapter
six
update
so
for
this
ordinance,
it's
only
the
code
reference
under
minor
site
plan
review
that
is
going
forward
with
this
particular
ordinance.
The
other
items
that
you
see
under
five
and
seven
will
come
forward
later
tonight.
A
L
Yes,
if
there
are
folks
joining
us
via
Zoom,
that
would
like
to
speak
on
this
ordinance.
Please
let
us
know
by
raising
your
hand
in
Zoom,
you
can
find
that
under
your
control
bar
by
clicking
the
reactions,
tab
or
the
more
tab,
you
can
also
send
a
chat
to
the
meeting
host
to.
Let
us
know
you'd
like
to
speak.
L
B
E
B
Ordinance
2305
to
amend
Title
20,
unified
development,
ordinance
of
the
Bloomington
municipal
code
regarding
amendments
and
updates
set
forth
in
BMC,
2003,
2005
and
2007..
The
synopsis
is
as
follows.
This
petition
contains
amendments
related
to
youth
regulations
in
chapter
3,
subdivision
standards
in
chapter
5
and
definitions
in
chapter
7
of
the
Udo.
There
are
61
amendments
identified.
D
H
P
Thank
you.
The
plane
commission
heard
case
z00523
again
at
its
March
6
2023
hearing
and
voted
to
forward
the
petition
to
the
common
council
with
a
positive
recommendation
with
a
vote
of
9-0
as
amended.
The
plan
commission
voted
to
remove
the
proposed
changes
to
2003010e1
in
order
to
have
time
for
additional
information
to
be
gathered.
P
So
tonight
what
you
are
seeing,
as
was
stated,
are
changes
to
chapter
3,
5
and
7..
So
chapter
three
is
our
use.
Regulations,
chapter
of
Title,
20,
chapter
5
is
subdivision.
Standards
and
chapter
7
is
definitions,
so
the
change
in
chapter
three
related
to
you
specific
standards
for
uses
allowed
in
the
code.
The
Amendments
relate
to
changes
to
rules
for
vehicle
fuel
stations,
outdoor
storage,
self
storage,
facility
design
and
the
process
for
Adu
paperwork
when
no
building
permit
is
required.
P
The
amendment
for
chapter
5
deals
with
clarifying
how
to
regulate
existing
structure
and
structures
involved
on
land
that
is
being
subdivided
or
otherwise
altered,
and
the
chapter
7
amendments
are
related
to
clarifying
how
to
define
basement
footprint,
average
surface
grade
and
Landscape
area
in
line
with
how
they
are
currently
regulated.
And
then
there
are
a
number
of
changes
related
to
the
state
of
Indiana
floodplain
regulation,
Administration
that
we
are
responsible
for
so
that
they
are
very
varied
and
so
I
will
go
through
those
again.
P
Similarly,
as
before-
and
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions
so
the
first
is:
we
have
been
advised
by
the
legal
department
to
remove
this
use
specific
standards
for
Fraternity
or
sorority,
which
were
added
a
number
of
years
ago,
in
response
or
in
relation
to
some
litigation,
and
now
we
have
been
informed
that
it's
their
Moot,
and
so
they
don't
need
to
be
in
anymore.
So
we
are
proposing
to
remove
those
that's
on
page
78,
on
page
79
for
fuel
the
use
fuel
vehicle
fuel
station.
P
In
the
me,
zoning
District
had
a
number
of
regulations
related
to
the
design
of
the
structures
for
such
use,
and
we
are
proposing
that
those
be
extended
to
all
zoning
districts.
So
that
is
what
the
change
at
the
bottom
of
79
and
then
here
at
the
top
of
80,
G
and
H,
would
now
apply
to
all
zoning
districts
they
previously
were
under
the
heading.
For
me,
zoning
District
only.
P
Next,
we
are
going
to
one
of
our
uses
that
we
often
are
involved
with
in
enforcement,
which
is
outdoor
storage
and
clarifying
here
undersea
that
it
does
apply
to
all
zoning
districts,
not
just
to
those
where
the
use
is
allowed.
That's
something
we
maybe
need
to
make
a
bigger
change
for
in
the
future,
but
at
this
time,
with
legal
guidance,
we're
making
this
change
to
clarify
that
it
can
be
enforced
in
all
zoning
districts.
P
All
right
here
on
page
82,
we
are
revising
this
language
so
that
it
for
excuse
me
for
self-storage
design,
language
requiring
two-story
structures
that
were
previously
required.
Only
in
some
of
the
mixed-use
districts
will
now
be
required
in
all
zoning
districts,
where
the
use
is
allowed.
P
For
accessory
dwelling
units,
currently
the
code
says
a
request
for
an
Adu
shall
be
required
to
submit
a
separate
site
plan
petition
with
the
planning
and
transportation
department.
We
usually
see
the
site
plan
through
a
building
permit,
and
so
that
kind
of
ticks
that
box.
We
wanted
to
clarify
that
if
there's
no
building
permit
necessary,
for
example,
if
someone
already
has
the
accessory
dwelling
unit
and
is
just
wanting
to
legitimize
it,
that
we
would
still
request
that
we
receive
a
site
plan
from
them.
P
Okay,
so
this
portion
is
adds
new
language
to
reflect.
This
is
the
chapter
five
change,
adding
new
language
to
reflect
situations
where
an
existing
developed
lot
is
being
split
apart.
P
Okay,
I
am
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
these
in
detail.
Most
of
these
pages
are
definition,
changes
related
to
the
guidance
that
we
got
from
the
state,
so
the
DNR
provides
information
to
us
about
and
they
have
a
model
code.
So
you
have
seen
that
we
we
updated
to
their
model
code
a
number
of
years
ago
and
then
they
updated
again.
So
we
are
now
updating
our
code
to
meet
their
requirements
so
that
we
can
be
a
community
that
offers
flood
flood
insurance.
P
So
we
have
to
be
updated
to
their
model
code
standards.
So
most
of
the
most
of
the
changes
to
chapter
seven
are
related
to
that,
and
then
you
will
see
that
again
in
chapter
four,
there
are
a
handful
that
aren't
so
I
will
call
those
out
and
then
I
I
or
someone
can
try
to
answer
questions.
If
you
have
floodplain
questions
the
one
that
we
one
that
we
are
adding
is
for
basement.
P
We
are
adding
the
phrase
and
number
of
stories,
so
a
basement
shall
be
counted
as
a
story
for
determining
building
setbacks
and
numbers
of
stories.
If
and
then,
there's
a
description
basically
for
a
basement,
that's
visible,
that's
important
to
add,
because
when
we
did
the
code
update,
we
changed
from
height
only
to
height
and
stories
for
our
regulations.
So
we
need
to
know
whether
or
not
we're
counting
that
level
as
a
story
when
we're
talking
about
maximums.
P
So
just
adding
that
phrase
in
there
and
then,
let's
see
so,
you
will
see
other
changes
on
these
Pages
I'm
passing,
but
they
are
all
related
to
meeting
the
floodplain
definition
requirements.
P
Our
next
definition
change
is
for
the
term
footprint,
so
just
changing
a
little
bit
of
the
verbiage
here
to
talk
about
structures
that
don't
have
walls
so
instead
of
the
absence
of
surrounding
exterior
walls,
changing
it
to
just
directly
say
buildings
or
structures
with
no
walls
again.
This
is
just
something
clarifying
definition,
so
that
we
can
more
easily
determine
Footprints
in
some
cases
where
the
building
is
non-traditional.
P
We
added
grade
surface
average
finished,
which
is
a
term
again
that
appears
I,
believe
in
our
definition
of
height,
so
something
so
that
it
can
be
clear
to
a
developer
or
someone
who
is
trying
to
figure
out
where
their
average
grade
is
exactly
how
we
expect
that
to
be
a
certain
and
then
I
believe.
There's
one
more.
P
So
in
landscape
area,
we've
added
to
the
definition
that
areas
on
the
tops
of
buildings,
walls
and
Planters
or
other
similar
areas
do
not
count
as
landscape
area
for
the
purpose
of
minimum
landscape
area
requirements.
This
is
something
that
we
have
been
doing,
but
we
have
had
I
would
say
at
least
one
large
development,
but
maybe
more
asking,
for
example,
if
they
could
count
their
green
roof
as
part
of
their
minimum,
basically
Open
Space
Landscape
requirement,
or
by
planting
you
know,
Moss
or
something
on
the
top
of
their
cement
brick
wall.
P
Can
that
count
as
open
space?
So
we
don't
count
those
now,
but
we
wanted
to
be
clearer
for
when
those
questions
come
up,
so
we're
proposing
to
add
that
to
the
definition.
So
again
we
have
a
number.
There
are
more
pages
and
they
are
all
full
of
floodplain
definition.
Changes
and
yeah
I
can
answer
any
questions.
Thanks,
council.
E
I
got
a
couple
questions.
First
of
all,
why
was
the
fraternity
and
sorority
language
stricken?
You
said
it
was
moot
or
mooded
what
mooded
it.
P
P
Sorry
uj80
was
a
another
party
in
a
case
that
we
had
related
to
a
use
on
North
Jordan.
A
number
a
couple
of
years
ago
does.
P
Just
the
name
of
the
company
that
owns
the
building,
okay
and
so
the
definition.
What
or
the
use
specific
standards
were
related
to
that
case,
and
then
we
ended
up
prevailing
in
that
case
additionally
and
Mr
Robinson
May
correct
me.
If
I'm
going
down
the
wrong
path
here,
but
as
well,
there
was
legislation
this
year
to
make
some
changes
to
how
we
regulate
fraternities
and
sororities
and
so
I
think
I'm.
Sorry,
I
didn't
get
the
details
today
that
legal
determined
that
we
do
not.
E
P
P
Use
the
use
specific
standards,
which
is
what
we're
taking
out
from
fraternity.
E
P
E
P
P
Gist
of
the
use
specific
standard
language
is
that
it
has
a
way
for
fraternities
or
sororities
that
are
no
longer
actively
affiliated
with
universities
to
be
legitimized
by
the
city,
because
our
definition
indicates
that
they
have
to
be
affiliated.
E
P
There
is
legislation
that
I
don't
know
if
it
has
been
passed
yet
or
not
that's
being
proposed
this
year,
that
will,
we
will
still
be
able
to
ask
them
to
show
affiliation,
but
there
will
be
a
caveat
added
that
it
we
they
may
be
able
to
show
affiliation
with
a
National
Organization,
as
opposed
to
a
university,
in
which
case
we
won't.
This
won't
matter
anymore,
where.
P
H
Yes,
I
saw
in
here
something
about
gas
stations
having
to
offer
fifty
percent
of
their
pumps
in
non-traditional
fuel
and
I
was
just
curious.
If
that
has
been.
If
compliance
has
been
good
with
that,
because
I
you
know,
when
I
get
gas,
I
I,
don't
notice
that,
but
it
probably
you
know,
a
lot
of
stations
were
grandfathered.
So
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
P
That
is
only
a
requirement
in
the
me
zoning
district,
and
so
we
are
proposing
to
pull
that
out
and
have
that
be
for
any
gas
station.
So
we
haven't
dealt
with
it.
Yet
we've
had
discussions
with
people
about
it
and
haven't
received
pushback,
but
we
haven't
had
one
come
through.
E
On
page
86,
I
barely
caught
it
as
it
blew
by,
but
we
find
it
here.
So
it
said
it
defined
area,
a
special
flood
Hazard
and
it
said
for
purposes
of
floodplain
regulations.
It's
the
land
within
a
community,
subject
to
a
one
percent
or
greater
chance
of
being
flooded
in
any
given
year,
according
to
what
Authority.
P
Sure
Mr
gorilla
can
probably
answer
this
better
than
I,
but
I
believe
that
it's
the
state
who
does
that
but
we'll
see
what
he
says.
Q
Thank
you,
Eric
greulich
senior
zoning
planner.
So
all
of
the
the
sections
of
the
this
amendment
the
deal
with
the
flood
plain
we're
taking
verbatim
from
the
state's
model,
floodplain
ordinance.
So
these
definitions-
and
these
words
are
what
was
basically
given
to
us
by
DNR
of
their
recommendations
of
what
we
should
incorporate.
So
this
definition
is
already
in
dnr's
Flood,
Control
Act,
which
defines
all
the
floodplain
regulations.
So
that's
where
this
this
wording
and
verbiage
comes
from
so.
E
I
mean
that's
what
I
figured
it
was
either
that
or
federal,
but
where
in
the
code
is
it
explained
that
this
is
a
state
standard
and
not
say
Army
Corps
of
Engineers.
Q
So
it
doesn't
it
doesn't.
Our
code
doesn't
specifically
state
that,
because
we
are
just
reiterating
what
is
already
in
the
state
code
for
that,
so
it
yeah
our
our
code
is
basically
just
adopting
their
language.
We're
not
you
know
referencing
it
specifically.
They
want
us
to
fold
it
in
can.
E
You
see,
though,
how
I
mean
it
jumped
out
at
me.
It's
like
well
says:
who
can
we
say
says
who
somewhere
in
the
code
to
say
all
standards
in
these
definitions
below
are?
According
to
the
DNR
I
mean,
there's
got
to
be
something
to
which
it's
pegged
and
it's
not
self-evident.
Q
Yeah
I
can
I
can
look
into
that.
You
know
we've
had
in
in
the
past,
you
know
DNR,
you
know
they
were
somewhat
flexible
in
the
past
of
us
modifying
the
floodplain
ordinance
and
working
into
our
code,
and
so
anytime.
We
want
to
change
something
that
is
different
than
exactly
what
they
give
us.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they're,
okay
with
it
so
if
we
were
to
put
in
a
reference
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
DNR
is
okay
with
that.
Q
Sure
yeah,
we
can
maybe
put
that
in
the
beginning
part
of
this
and
kind
of
the
that's
an
induction
or
something
for.
Q
A
Seeing
none,
let's
go
to
the
public
for
comment,
could
I
see
a
show
of
hands
and
Chambers
as
to
how
many
people
would
like
to
offer
comment?
Mr
Lucas.
Could
you
extend
our
invitation
on
Zoom
for
2305.
L
Yes,
if
there
are
members
of
the
public
that
want
to
comment
on
this
item,
please
let
us
know
by
raising
your
hand
in
Zoom,
you
can
find
that
race
hand
button
in
your
control
bar
under
the
reactions,
tab
or
the
more
tab.
You
can
also
send
a
chat
to
the
meeting
host
to.
Let
us
know
you'd
like
to
speak.
E
If
we
want
to
see
this
explanation
included,
this
would
be
an
amendment.
What
is
our
the
process
open
to
us.
L
Amendments
need
to
be
in
writing,
so
we
would
need
to
get
the
the
language
that
you'd
like
to
propose
down
in
writing.
Any
amendments
to
any
of
these
ordinances
have
to
be
returned
to
the
plan
commission
for
their
consideration.
So
a
a
reason
for
the
amendment
has
to
be
given
to
the
planned
commission.
It
kicks
off
another
period
of
time,
I
believe
45
days
for
the
planned
commission
to
adopt
or
reject
the
amendment.
Another
possibility
is
to
fold
this
potential
language
into
a
future
round
of
Udo
updates.
L
These
are
brought
to
you
regularly
I
believe
there
may
be.
P
Yeah
part
of
what
we're
doing
tonight,
not
in
this
ordinance
so
I'm,
sorry,
I,
know
it's
confusing.
We
maybe
just
should
have
brought
you
one.
Big
ordinance
is
updating
the
floodplain
language,
so
not
just
the
definitions
but
the
entirety
of
the
section
in
chapter
four,
so
you
can
see
on
the
screen
here
and
it's
on
page
130
of
your
packet.
P
There
is
a
section
in
in
the
flood
plain
Provisions
that
we
got
from
the
state
called
basis
for
establishing
the
areas
of
special
flood
Hazard,
and
then
it
discusses
like
where
that
information
comes
from
what
map
you
know
the
different
zones
and
that
it's
you
know
those
updated
by
FEMA
I.
Think
this
answers
your
question.
Mr
volan,.
B
P
I
believe
it's
it's
both
but
I
think
a
yeah.
So
so
it's
it's
a
and
then
B
and
then
C
is
you
know
if
there
wouldn't
were
not
to
be
published,
FEMA
maps
for
your
location.
What
you
do
in
that
situation?
You
know
it
lays
out
that
where
they
come
from,
which
flood
insurance
rate
Maps,
you
know
when
those
are
dated
and
and.
P
E
Okay,
yeah,
so,
in
other
words
it
was
contemplated.
It
is
there.
P
R
Scott
Robinson,
director
of
planning,
Transportation
council
member
vollen,
we'd,
be
happy
to
to
address.
Maybe
your
reference
in
a
future
Amendment,
but
our
coordination
with
the
state
and
I
believe
Eric
can
correct
me
or
I'm,
not
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
urgency
or
timing
issue.
With
the
notification
we
were
actually
went
through
review,
a
review,
I
believe
back
in
2020,
which
at
that
time
we
had
already
brought
forth
the
prior
model
code
and
they
said
hey.
R
E
No
I,
I
I,
understand
your
concerned
and
I'm
not
trying
to
delay
it.
Okay,
I
think
Ms.
Scanlon,
basically
is
saying
that
this
issue
is
addressed
in
chapter
four
and
the
definition
was
in
chapter
seven
or
section:
seven
whatever,
so
it's
it.
Basically,
it
precedes
the
definition
and
it
should
be
okay,
yeah
so
I
mean
no.
This
is
what
I
was
looking
for.
Okay,
so
I,
don't
think
there
needs
to
be
an
amendment.
I
appreciate
the
I
figured
one
of
you
would
know
where
the
reference
was
I.
E
Just
hadn't
seen
it
in
this
ordinance,
because
it's
in
the
next
ordinance.
R
E
S
D
B
D
D
B
Ordinance
2306
to
amend
Title
20,
unified
development,
ordinance
of
the
Bloomington
municipal
code
regarding
amendments
and
updates
set
forth
in
BMC
2004.,
the
synopsis
is
as
follows.
This
petition
contains
amendments
in
chapter
4
related
to
design
requirements
for
uses
in
the
Udo.
There
are
55
amendments
identified.
S
A
P
All
right,
the
plan
commission
heard
case
z00623
at
its
March
2023
hearing
and
voted
to
send
the
petition
to
the
common
Council
of
positive
recommendation
with
a
vote
of
8-0
as
amended.
The
plan
commission
voted
to
remove
to
remove
the
proposed
changes
to
Table
04-10
in
order
to
have
time
for
additional
information
to
be
gathered
and
for
discussion.
P
So
this
petition
tonight
is
related
to
chapter
four
dealing
with
Amendments
of
details
related
to
design
requirements
for
uses
again,
as
always
with
chapter
four
The.
Amendments
vary
greatly,
so
I
will
go
through
those,
but
I
will
briefly
discuss
them
here
as
well.
P
There
are
amendments
related
to
design
for
front
entries
for
front
setbacks
requiring
alley
access
for
multiple
districts,
as
well
as
our
mixed-use
downtown
district.
If
it
is
adjacent
to
an
improved
alley,
clarifying
some
standards
for
our
affordable
housing
incentives,
altering
architectural
requirements
in
the
mixed
use
and
residential
districts,
which
we
did
in
conjunction
with
local
Architects,
here
altering
screening
requirements
for
electrical
and
other
such
equipment
on
alleys,
altering
signage
allowances
related
to
drive
through
uses
clarifying
existing
other
existing
signage
language,
exempting
city
of
Bloomington
signage
from
science
standards.
P
We
worked
with
the
senior
environmental
planner,
the
environmental
commission,
as
well
as
the
urban
Forester
and
other
members
of
The
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
on
entirely
new
species
tables,
so
you'll
see
those
there
updating,
Street
tree
total
requirements
for
sorry
for
the
total
of
trees
and
also
location,
excluding
the
use
of
plastic
netting,
which
has
been
something
we've
been
working
on
with
local
contractors
for
a
while
clarifying
native
plantings
to
be
required
for
green
infrastructure
and
doing
some
other
changes
for
landscaping
updates.
P
So
again,
55
amendments
and
I'll
go
through
those
here
and
then
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
So
I
am
on
Page
126,
and
this
is
the
beginning
of
the
red
line
for
this
particular
ordinance.
You
can
see
here
we
are
in
table
04-6,
there
was
a
front
entry
exception.
Setback
exception
created
another
time
that
we
updated
the
code.
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
during
the
full
update
or
after
again
with
discussion
with
one
a
local
architect.
P
We
are
proposing
to
expand
that
to
districts,
R3
and
R4,
currently
only
allowed
in
R1
and
R2,
and
then
I
also
mentioned
a
second
front
setback
change
that
we're
proposing.
P
P
So
if
it
can
be
done
in
character
with
the
area
allowing
the
house
to
have
an
addition
of
a
second
floor
without
requiring
a
variance
and
then
here
clarifying
that
for
parking
and
building
setback
purposes,
Interstate
69
is
not
considered
a
front,
which
is
something
that
we
do.
Policy
wise.
P
Okay,
next
page
here
127,
this
is
where
we
put
in
the
prohibition
against
plastic
netting.
So
we
see
plastic
netting
used
for
a
number
of
things
related
to
site
development,
including
erosion
control,
but
most
commonly
basically
under
what
would
be
considered
permanent
landscaping.
And
so
we
have
been
requesting
that
people
leave,
that
out
of
their
site
plans
and
Landscape
plans
that
we
see,
but
we
wanted
to
codify
it.
So
we
can
so
that
we
can
prohibit
it
because
it
doesn't
go
anywhere.
P
P
Okay,
so
this
is
Page
128,
and
this
is
where
the
new
flood
plain
regulations
start
so
again,
formatted
as
well
as
we
could.
So.
Thank
you
to
Mr
grulich
for
doing
all
this
work
into
our
normal
format.
You
know
having
the
purpose
up
front
and
the
different
sections
that,
but
trying
to
use
the
guidance
that
we
got
from
the
state,
because
we
have
to
make
sure
we
include
everything
that
they
request
so
working
within
their
bounds,
but
trying
to
put
it
into
our
structure
and
I.
P
Don't
think
it
seemed
that
a
lot
of
what
they
did
this
year
in
the
update
was
more
about
kind
of
restructuring,
how
they're
getting
out
the
information
as
opposed
to
changing
it,
and
so
it
was
it's
kind
of
reworking
terminology
as
opposed
to
changing
how
they
are
doing
the
regulation.
P
P
P
So
if
you
have
an
alley
that
you
can
use
for
your
driveway
in
a
new
development
requiring
that
that
be
done
as
opposed
to
having
another
Street
cut
on
the
street,
if
you
have
it,
for
example,
a
platted
alley
that
isn't
improved,
then
this
standard
doesn't
apply
to
your
property.
P
On
page
158
here
this
is
the
only
incentive
change
that
we
had
that
I
mentioned.
This
is
basically
related
to
Affordable
and
senior
housing.
These
two
regulations
don't
kind
of
make
sense
together,
they're
supposed
to
be
separate,
but
there
was
never
an
ore
here,
so
we
wanted
to
clarify
that
it
would
be
one
or
the
other,
so
we
are
adding
an
or
in
between
A
and
B
under
three
on
page
158.,.
P
Page
159
again,
this
is
related
to
Alley
access
as
well,
so
adding
the
MD
zoning
District,
which
we
added,
which
we
are
proposing
to
add
in
the
other
amendment
that
I
mentioned
and
then
also
for
multi-family,
taking
out
the
requirement
that
says
that
if
you
are
using
alley
access,
you
will
be
limited
to
a
40
foot
in
depth
and
20
foot
in
width
pad
basically
for
parking.
P
It's
just
is
not
functional
and
most
of
the
multi-family
we
see
developed.
Has
it
either
will
have
parking
in
the
building
or
a
small
parking
lot
that
could
still
meet
all
of
our
other
requirements,
but
can't
meet
this.
This
is
kind
of
an
Antiquated
way
of
looking
at
it,
and
so
we're
proposing
to
take
that
out.
P
Okay,
this
is
Page,
160
is
where
this
starts
at
the
very
bottom.
We
in
consultation
with
some
local
Architects,
looked
at
the
architectural
requirements.
It's
called
building
design
and
the
code,
and
it
discusses
one
of
the
things
it
discusses
is
materials.
So
you
can
see
here
a
more
detailed
description
of
what
types
of
metal
can
be
used
as
secondary
materials
in
our
mixed
use.
Districts
was
proposed
by
the
group,
and
we
accepted
that
change
to
including
the
proposal.
P
We
also
worked
with
them
on
kind
of
clarifying
redefining
what
what
a
module
would
be.
So
when
we
are
looking
at
the
architecture
for
a
building,
what
requirements
do
they
have
to
do
and
kind
of
breaking
that
building
up
and
allowing
for
Design
Elements
to
have
the
building
read
as
separate
buildings
or
as
less
of
a
large
mass
than
we
sometimes
see
so
working
with
them
to
add
in
those
changes,
as
well
as
changes
to
the
primary
pedestrian
entry
requirements?
P
This
is
at
the
bottom
of
page
161.,
and
this
is
really
more
adding
in
some
more
technical,
adding
in
some
more
options
for
what
could
be
done
to
highlight
a
primary
pedestrian
entrance.
So
we
have
that
here
in
the
mixed
use
districts,
as
well
as
those
similar
changes
in
the
residential
districts
for
multi-family
in
the
RM
and
the
RH.
P
So
now
we
are
looking
at
our
changes
in
2004,
oh
2004080,
which
is
the
Landscaping
buffering
and
fences
section.
The
first
section
here
this
is
Page
165
near
the
bottom.
This
is
related
to
straight
trees,
most
commonly
so.
The
current
regulation
says
trees
shall
be
planted
at
least
10
feet
from
sanitary
sewer,
water
service
lines
and
natural
gas
lines.
So
through
the
project
that
Parks
is
doing
with
Bicentennial
bonds
for
replacing
and
updating
Street
trees
in
the
downtown
area
and
other
places.
P
It
has
come
to
light
more
and
more
over
the
last
couple
years
that
this
regulation,
especially
in
our
pre-developed
areas,
is
unrealistic.
They
wouldn't
be
able
to
replace
trees
if
they
were
meeting
this
requirement.
So
we
worked
with
the
parks
department,
as
well
as
with
CBU,
to
try
to
kind
of
come
to
a
compromise
about
how
to
regulate,
regulate
this
issue
of
the
intersection
of
street
trees
and
Public
Utilities.
P
Excuse
me
at
least
10
feet
from
public
sanitary
sewer,
water
service
lines
and
natural
gas
lines,
but
if
you're
using
medium
or
small
trees,
they
can
be
as
close
as
five
feet
and
then,
if
you
actually
needed
it
to
be
closer,
you
could,
you
know,
make
a
written
request
to
the
director
and
then
he
would
work
with
the
relevant
departments
to
see
if
that
was
appropriate,
so
kind
of
giving
more
more
options
for
being
able
to
have
more
trees
in
these
areas
that
we
otherwise
right
now
technically
do
not
have.
P
The
second
change
you
see
here
is
a
verbiage
change
proposed
by
a
senior
environmental
planner
moving
to
a
tree
Crown,
as
opposed
to
a
tree
canopy
when
discussing
projection
over
the
right-of-way
and
then
the
last
two
here
are
again
related
to
kind
of
incorporating
the
urban
Forester
and
officially
allowing
him
or
her
to
be
able
to
be
in
on
the
decision
about
what
is
appropriate
based
on
widths
and
characteristics
of
the
tree
plot,
as
well
as
what
kinds
of
trees
to
be
planted.
P
P
These
are
proposals
from
the
senior
environmental
planner
to
add
these
as
standards
for
All
Landscape
plans,
one
that
all
green
infrastructure
facilities
shall
be
planted
with
only
native
seed
and
or
plugs,
and
that
all
Landscaping
is
required
to
be
installed
and
inspected
prior
to
issuance
of
recommendation
for
final
occupancy
and
that
it
gives
the
department
the
ability
to
allow
extensions
for
weather-related
or
other
unique
circumstances.
P
So
for
the
green
infrastructure
we
don't
currently
do
that.
We
encourage
people
to
do
it,
but
it
isn't
codified.
So
we
don't
require
it
for
installation
prior
occupancy.
We
do
this
as
a
matter
of
practice,
basically
so
that
a
inspection
I
mean
we
want
that
to
be
done.
Excuse
me
before
final
occupancy
is
recommended,
but
we
just
wanted
to
have
that
codified.
P
So
people
could
understand
that
that's
going
to
be
the
process,
the
expectation
is
that
you're
done
and
then,
if
you
can't
be
done
because
of
a
reason
outside
of
your
control,
we're
happy
to
discuss
that
with
you
and
then
Ms
Thompson
also
recommended
removing
this.
This
regulation
related
to
distribution
feeling
that
it
was
no
longer
necessary.
P
Okay,
so
still
on
page
166
under
species
identification
clarifying
that
that,
when
we're
doing
the
final
inspection
either
the
plants
need
to
be
labeled
or
some
sort
of
purchase
order
needs
to
be
submitted
so
that
we
can
confirm
that
what
is
required
on
your
landscape
plan
has
in
fact
been
installed
and
then
changing
the
verbiage
again
from
invasive
plants
to
prohibited
plant
species,
which
I
think
is
the
preferred
nomenclature
now
and
then
for
species
diversity,
increasing
the
diversity
for
projects
with
20
or
more
trees,
by
allowing
only
20
for
maximum
per
genus,
which
is
currently
25..
P
Miss
Thompson
also
proposed
to
remove
this
pollinator
habitat
requirement,
I'm
I,
think
partially,
because
we
have
expanded
the
species
list
so
much
and
included
a
lot
of
plants
that
can
will
help
to
meet
this
purpose
without
having
to
explicitly
require
it
separately
and
now
we're
at
the
top
of
167
and
under
two.
This
is
again
just
a
nomenclature
change,
so
instead
of
calling
them
flowering,
perennials
and
grasses,
we
will
now
be
calling
them
perennial
Forbes
species
and
graminoids.
P
Okay,
here
on
page
168,
this
portion
of
code
Alternatives
authorized
and
alternative
landscape
plan.
It
has
not
been
substantively
changed,
just
the
section
kind
of
moved
around,
which
I
think
made
sense.
It
was
labeled,
oddly
and
so
Ms
Thompson
recommended
that
we
make
this
change
and
so
just
adding
it
all
under
B.
P
Here
on
page
169,
removing
the
reference
to
parking
lots
under
the
street
tree
requirement,
because
Street
trees
are
not
planted
around
parking
lots.
Those
are
parking
lot
trees
and
then
for
interior
trees,
indicating
that
in
the
new
tables
there
are
trees
listed
as
Street
trees
that
can
be
used
as
interior
trees,
but
not
those
that
are
in
parentheses
and
then
again
renaming
the
tables
just
going
to
shrubs
and
then
forbs
and
then
many
of
the
next
pages
are
the
actual
updates
to
the
tables.
P
So
these
updates
were
made
I.
Think
I
left
one
group
out
so
I
apologize
with
environmental
commission
as
well
as
the
tree
commission.
P
So
the
tree
care
manual
has
historically
or
for
some
time,
had
its
own
list,
and
so
one
thing
that
we
were
working
on
with
parks
with
this
update
was
instead
of
how
it
has
worked
in
the
past.
The
tree
care
manual
is
going
to
reference
the
Udo
and
then
the
tree
commission
will
work
with
us
on
our
annual
update
to
make
changes
and
work
with
Miss
Thompson
and
the
environmental
commission,
so
that
everything
can
kind
of
live
in
one
place.
P
And
you
know
everyone
can
know
what
to
expect,
and
there
can
just
be
one
list
with
information,
so
we
think
that's
going
to
be
really
helpful
and
we
are
very
appreciative
to
them
for
coming
to
that
agreement
with
us
so
again
prohibited
plant
species.
These
lists
are
quite
extensive,
I
think
I
would
say.
P
Miss
Thompson
said
you
know
they
have
a
lot
more
options
than
they
have
had
in
the
past,
not
for
the
prohibited
plant
species,
but
for
the
species
that
we
do
want
so
trying
to
make
it
clear
and
easier
for
developers
of
all
sizes
to
be
able
to
meet
our
requirements.
P
Okay,
so
on
to
Street
trees,
we're
on
page
186
of
the
packet
about
halfway
down
near
the
bottom
currently
for
Street
trees,
a
minimum
of
one
canopy
tree
shall
be
planted
per
40
feet
that
you
have
a
budding
a
right-of-way
we
are
proposing.
So
this
is.
This
regulation
is
for
number,
only
so
figuring
out
how
many
you're
putting
in
so.
P
So
this
is
for
count
only
here
and
then
further
down
at
the
top
of
page
187
is
the
separation
requirement,
so
trees
can
be
no
less
than
10
feet
from
one
another
and
they
should
not
be
planted
more
than
30
feet
apart,
but
we
have
put
in
an
exception
here
when
separation
exceeding
30
feet
is
required
because
of
constraints
of
the
site
such
as
utility
or
driveway
location.
So
that's
something
we
run
into.
P
We've
always
had
a
minimum
and
a
maximum,
but
in
some
cases
they
have
not
been
able
to
meet
that
maximum
and
then
we're
kind
of
in
a
weird
gray
area.
Where
then,
we
have
not
been
able
we're
not
sure
how
we
would
handle
that.
So
this
is
how
we're
proposing
to
fix
that
situation
and
then,
here
again
recommendation
from
Miss
Thompson
that
all
Street
trees
shall
be
planted
stabilized
in
mulch
according
to
the
Udo
and
the
administrative
manual.
P
Okay,
so
we're
on
page
188,
and
we
are,
as
I
mentioned
before,
taking
out
the
reference
that
buffer
yards
are
in
addition
to
building
setbacks,
so
that
was
done
in
the
first
ordinance.
As
a
cross-reference
for
this
regulation,
we
have
found
that
on
small
Lots
requiring
the
buffer
yard
and
the
building
setback
you
know
leads
to
more
space
and
is
necessary
and
discourages
Redevelopment
of
those
lots.
So
we
are
proposing
that
they
not
be
cumulative.
You
will
still
have
the
same
amount
of
required
impervious
surface
or
permeable
surface.
P
Excuse
me,
so
you
won't
lose
that
we
are
just
proposing
that
these
two
things
won't
be
separate.
P
And
then,
here
to
kind
of
clarify
how
we
are
regulating
buffer
yards,
we're,
adding
prohibited
uses
so
buildings,
parking
areas,
swimming
pools
or
drive.
Aisles
are
not
allowed
within
the
buffer
yard,
so
clarifying
that
the
buffer
yards
are
expected
to
be
open
for
landscaping
I'm
on
the
top
of
page
189.
We
are
changing.
P
This
word
setback
to
width
here
for
buffer
yard
treatment,
just
clarifying
that
it's
not
a
step
back
the
buffer
yard,
but
we
do
have
a
minimum
width
and
then
again
taking
out
the
reference
to
that
being
cumulative
with
a
building
setback,
and
then
we
are
going
away
from
a
used
space
buffer
yard
table
and
going
back
to
a
zoning
District
based
buffer
yard
table.
So
we
added
the
use
space
buffer
yard
table,
which
you
can
see
kind
of
crossed
out
here
at
the
bottom
of
189.
P
When
we
did
the
update,
we
have
found
that
it's
more
difficult
to
administer
I
think
than
the
benefits
we're
getting
from
it
because,
for
example,
if
you're
next
to
a
vacant
property,
it's
hard
to
can
conjecture
what's
going
to
end
up
being
there.
P
So
we
are
proposing
to
go
back
to
a
district
based
and
again,
you
know,
obviously
with
more
intense
buffer
yards
buffering,
intense
uses,
especially
adjacent
to
less
intense
uses,
and
we
are
not
proposing
to
reduce
the
width
or
density
of
those
buffer
yards
only
that
they
will
be
based
on
District.
P
This
is
for
situations
where
we
have
parking
lots
that
are
immediately
surrounded
by
sidewalks,
so
shrubs
are
required
around
a
parking
lot
within
five
feet
of
the
parking
lot.
That
is
not
possible
if
you're
surrounded
by
a
parking
by
a
sidewalk.
That's
five
feet
wide.
So
this
allows
for
those
shrubs
to
be
put
on
the
outside
in
situations
where
having
a
sidewalk
immediately
adjacent
is
preferable.
P
On
page
191,
minimum
plantings,
this
is
for
trees
that
are
in
Islands
or
on
bump
outs
or
end
caps.
This
is
designating
that
those
trees
are
their
own
requirement
that
they're
not
counting
towards
something
else.
So,
in
a
parking
lot
situation,
you
have
parking
lot
perimeter
required
trees.
P
Okay,
this
is
at
the
bottom
of
192.,
and
this
is
related
to
ground
mounted
mechanical
equipment
within
10
feet
of
an
improved
platted
alley
that
that
will
not
require
screening.
So
the
way
the
screening
requirement
works.
P
So
we
are
proposing
after
working
with
with
Duke
Energy,
to
have
this
be
the
solution,
and
this
also
will
meet
their
requirements
that
we
developers
run
up
against
for
spacing
for
Duke
as
well.
P
All
right
page
193
we're
almost
done
kind
of
193
proposing
to
exempt
city
of
Bloomington
Public
signs
from
the
science
regulations,
so
public
signs
are
already
exempt
from
requiring
a
permit.
So
we
do
not
permit
public.
We
do
not
require
permits
for
public
signs
from
any
government,
but,
as
you
can
imagine,
the
city
of
Bloomington
puts
up
a
lot
of
signs,
and
so
we
would
like
to
just
officially
exempt
them
from
signage
regulations
as
well.
P
As
I
mentioned,
some
changes
to
the
drive-through
use
signage.
This
is
at
the
bottom
of
page
194
in
your
packet.
This
is
something
that
we're
proposing
that
signs
for
a
drive-through
shall
be
allowed
to
have
20
percent
as
electronic
reader
board
and
shall
be
exempt
from
the
Landscaping
standards
of
regular
freestanding
signs.
We
have
seen
quite
a
few,
especially
in
the
last
year,
proposals
for
new
drive-through
signs
that
are
digital
and
you
could
just
drive
or
if
you
go
to
Starbucks
or
any
place.
P
Basically
in
town
that
has
been
able
to
modernize
their
drive
through
within
the
last
three
or
four
years,
they
are
visually,
showing
you
your
order
and
that
technically
is
not
allowed
by
code.
That's
obviously
where
the
technology
is
going,
so
we
are
trying
to
write
in
something
to
allow
that
to
a
degree,
so
electronic
reader
boards,
you
know,
sometimes
can
maybe
feel
disruptive.
P
So
at
the
bottom
of
194
and
at
the
top
of
195
is
where
we
are
addressing
those
those
requirements,
so
a
maximum
of
12
square
feet.
So
this
would
be
like
for
the
sign
that
you're
driving
up
to
at
the
ordering
location
for
your
drive
through.
P
This
is
sinking
the
multi-family
signage
allowance
across
our
districts,
so
Sinking
The,
mixed-use
Districts,
with
our
more
intense
residential,
the
multi-family
and
high
density
multi-family,
so
that
they'll
be
the
same
and
then
in
the
MN
zoning
District,
our
least
intense
mixed
use,
District
clarifying
that
wall
signs
in
a
multi-tenant
center
are
for
individual
uses
or
tenants,
because
we
use
the
word
tenant
quite
a
bit
in
code
as
well,
and
then
also
allowing
for
one
sign
for
multi-family
dwelling
uses
in
that
District
we're
currently
none
are
allowed
and
then
the
last
one
I
believe
is
in
the
mixed
use:
downtown
clarifying
that.
A
H
Yes,
thank
you.
Miss
Scanlon
I
had
a
question
somewhere
in
there
there
was
some.
There
were
some
revisions
to
architectural
standards,
including
for
mixed
use
and
non-residential
districts.
It
clarifies
the
type
of
metal,
the
primary
pedestrian
entrance,
the
exterior
facade
modulation
and
it
I
saw
I
think
it
was
page
164
where
30
percent
of
the
exterior
wall
can
be
a
transparent
glass.
P
Yes,
let's
see
Regular
pattern
of
transparent
glass
consisting
of
a
minimum
of
30
percent
of
total
wall.
Facade
area
for
residential
uses
hold
on
sorry
I'm.
Just
trying
to
do.
P
Correct
right,
so
it
changed
to
be
non-residential.
Yes,
so
50
across
the
board,
and
now
we're
separating
them
for
50
for
non-residential
30
for
residential
I.
Think
the
feedback
we've
gotten
is
that
that
is
a
like
a
kind
of
a
reasonable
amount
for
the
first
floor,
for
that
particular
type
of
use,
where
we
want
more
glass
for
a
commercial
so
that
you
can
kind
of
interact
with
the
space
and
see
what's
going
on,
but
that
for
residential,
allowing
slightly
less
is
still
impactful
on
it's.
P
It's
still
a
good
kind
of
interaction,
but
allowing
like
slightly
more
privacy
and
that
it's
like,
more
obviously
not
commercial
by
allowing
30
percent.
H
I
understand
that
I
I,
just
I'm
wondering
there
have
been
some
multi-family
housing
buildings
that
have
you
know,
met
the
requirement
with
with
glass.
You
know
to
the
requirements.
The
purpose
I
believe
is
to
have
some
pedestrian
interest
right
and
but
I'm
thinking
of
like
stage
yard
on
South
Walnut
you.
H
It
has
a
lot
of
glass,
but
there's
no
interest
because
you're
looking
at
a
hallway,
so
I'm
wondering
is
there
any
way
to
require
I
mean
if
you're
going
to
have
glass
that
it's
actually
there's
something
to
look
at
behind
the
glass
I
mean
I
know
some
of
it
could
be
an
actual
apartment
unit,
in
which
case
they
could
draw
their
blinds,
and
you
would
have
the
same
situation
but
I.
Just
wonder
if
if
it's
going
to
be
glass
onto
a
public
area,
is
there
any
way
we
could
require
something
more
interesting
to
be
going.
P
Sure
I
think
it's
a
great
question
and
one
that
we
deal
with,
or
you
know
have
tried
to
address
in
different
ways
by
you
know
not
allowing
it
to
be
vehicles,
for
example,
and
then
you
know
not
allowing
it
to
be
dwelling
units
in
certain
areas
of
town
where
you
can't
have
the
parking
in
front
to
try
to
to
try
to
encourage
those
spaces
to
be
public
or
something
of
interest.
I'm,
not
sure
how
easy
that
is,
or
that
we've
quite
figured
it
out.
P
That's
something
that
we
kind
of
still
look
at,
because
I
mean
State.
George
is
a
good
example.
It's
meeting
the
requirements,
but
there's
nothing
there,
so
yeah
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
a
point
well
taken
I'm,
not
sure
I,
don't
think
this
addresses
I,
don't
think
this
is
maybe
necessarily
specifically
related
to
that
question.
I
mean
meaning
that,
depending
how
much
glass
is
there,
you
know,
but
it
is
something
that
we
try
to
work
on,
but
have
maybe
not
hit
quite
yet.
D
Thank
you,
Miss
Scanlon
I
had
a
question
about
our
policy,
which
we've
had
for
a
long
time
now,
a
few
years
of
requiring
native
plantings
and
so
I'm
concerned
about
the
the
temporal
nature
of
that.
That
is.
How
long
are
the
plantings
required
to
be
maintained.
P
D
So
I
see
because
I'm
aware
of
some
developments
that
have
come
in
and
they
put
in
Native
plantings
and
then
they
don't
tend
them
and
then
they
cleared
out
and
they
put
vinca
in
or
something
right.
You
know
so
that
in
your
view,
that's
a
function
of
personnel.
Yes,
we
just
need
more
inspectors
to
do
that,
and
and
what
and
is
there,
what
is
the
penalty?
Is
it?
Is
it
a
fine?
Yes,.
P
So
we
could
we
would
if,
if
we
were
you
and
saw
that
they
completely
not,
for
example,
a
rain
Garden
that
was
required,
it's
in
a
notice,
a
violation.
We
would
give
them
a
deadline
and
say
put
it
back
in
to
you
know
noting
whatever
approved
site
plan,
they
had
certificates
of
zoning
compliance
and
then,
if
they
didn't,
we
would
start
finding
them.
Yeah.
E
I've
got
three.
The
first
is
on
page
165.
You
talk
about
replacing
the
word
a
canopy.
With
crown,
can
you
explain
the
definition.
P
I,
unfortunately,
cannot
that
is,
was
a
recommendation
that
we
got
from
Miss,
Thompson,
Senior,
environmental,
planner,
I
believe
the
idea.
My
understanding
is
that
canopy
would
maybe
be
more
thought
of
for
more
than
one
tree
where
Crown
is
specific
to
one
okay.
E
P
No,
so
ground
mounted
mechanical
equipment,
for
example,
would
be
the
box
that
that
the
apartment
building
needs
that
is
Duke's
Service
I'm,
not
thinking
of
the
right
word.
What's
it
called
yeah
service
box,
I
mean
the
utility
box,
the
things
that
they
need.
That's
what
ground-mounted
equipment
is,
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
address,
one
that
we
feel
like.
Sometimes,
we've
required
screening
in
situations
where,
like
we're,
not
really
helping
anyone
by
requiring
them
to
put
the
fence
up
around
it
to.
E
E
Q
Eric
again
senior
zoning
manner,
so
Steve.
Some
of
the
examples
are
in
the
section
right
above
this.
In
a
you
know,
it
talks
about
the
types
of
things
that
are
the
ground
mounted
that
we're
screening,
so
power
supplies,
Transformers
panel
boxes,
air
conditioners,
those
kinds
of
things,
so
there's
not
a
minimum
size,
but
the
things
we
typically
run
into
are
HVAC
units.
You
know
the
Duke
electrical
Transformer
boxes
that
you
kind
of
see
scattered
around
sites.
E
Okay,
I
wanted
to
go
to
page
194,
where
we
were
talking
about,
walk
through
and
drive
through
uses,
so
I
I
don't
know
exactly
where
this
is
the
right
place
to
ask
this
question.
E
But
it's
been
my
personal
experience
on
on
two
occasions:
one
at
a
fast
food
drive-through
restaurant
downtown
and
wanted
a
Bank
downtown
where
the
business
closed
its
doors
to
walk
in
traffic
at
least
half
an
hour,
if
not
several
hours
before
they
closed
their
business
to
drive
through
traffic,
and
they
claim
that
it's
illegal
to
serve
a
pedestrian
walking
through
their
drive
through,
but
there's
no
other
way
for
The
Pedestrian
to
access
the
business
without
getting
into
a
car.
E
Is
there
anything
in
zoning
code
that
regulates
this,
and,
if
not,
is
there
anything
in
code
that
regulates
this
and
if,
if
so,
is?
If
not,
is
this
the
appropriate
place
to
change
that?
If
I
believe,
for
example,
that
a
pedestrian
should
not
be
denied
access
to
the
business
simply
because
they're
not
driving
through.
P
L
I've
I've
heard
that
same
comment
before
I'm,
not
sure
where
businesses
are
prohibited
from
serving
walk-up
customers
I'm
happy
to
look
into
it
further.
They.
E
E
Think
it
should
be
illegal
for
a
pedestrian
to
be
denied
service
simply
because
they're,
not
in
a
car,
or
that
the
business
has
to
maintain
the
same
hours
for
walk-up.
They
have
to
figure
out
what
it
is.
You
know
they
have
to
do,
but
they
can't
deny
service
to
people
if
they're
open,
simply
because
they're
not
in
a
car.
E
The
the
reason
I
ask
I
think
is
also
because,
if,
if
it's
true,
let's
say
that
I
mean
I
can
understand
the
logistical
reason
why
business
would
do
it,
but
if
they're
not
required
to
build
a
walk-up
window
that
would
be
safe
for
The
Pedestrian
to
approach
than
you
know.
Our
zoning
code
has
basically
enabled
this
Behavior.
So
would
it
be
inappropriate
to
require
that
a
drive
up
window
also
provide
access
to
a
pedestrian
so
that
they
can't
claim
that
it's
I
mean
like
shouldn't?
We
regulate
that
in
zoning
code.
P
Right
would
be
if
you
all
decided
that
we
wanted
to
require
businesses
to
put
in
pedestrian
walk-throughs.
We
don't
require
businesses
to
put
in
vehicular
drive-throughs,
but
they
do
them.
So
we
want
to
have
regulations
to
make
sure
that
they
make
sense,
especially
with
the
signage
and,
like
you
know,
with
the
driveways
and
stuff
so
I
mean
we
aren't
requiring
them,
but
we
know
they're
going
to
happen,
so
we
want
to
regulate
it.
I
think
the
only
way
to
address
the
walk-up
would
be
to
require
that
I
mean
we
do
see
that
happening.
P
We
have
two
permits
right
now
in
the
department
where
businesses
downtown
are
adding
walk-up
Windows
and
that's
not
something
that
we
require,
but
I
think
that
would
be
the
only
way
to
do
it
and.
E
And
are
those
windows
regulated
right
now
by
zoning
code,
walk
up
Windows.
A
L
Yes,

there
are

Zoom

T
Please
hi
I'm
Greg
Alexander
I,
just
about
jumped
out
of
my
skin
when
I
heard
Vaughn's
question
there
very
exciting.
It's
a
severe
problem,
businesses
that
don't
accept
pedestrians
at
some.
It's
indefensible
and
you
simply
shouldn't
allow
it
completely
ban
all
drive-throughs.
The
business
owners
have
shown
that
they
simply
can't
be
trusted
with
that
responsibility
and
drive-throughs
aren't
actually
important
to
the
city
they're,
not
important
to
our
community.
They
don't
actually
deliver
a
good
Community
good,
it's
miserable
to
stand
in
them
in
cars.
Thank
you.
A
H
Yes,
I
just
have
a
small
request
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
worth
acting
upon,
but
there
are
two
sections
in
this
in
this
ordinance
where
the
word
gauge
is
spelled
wrong.
It's
it's
both
the
places
where
the
metal
exterior
finish
is
further
described.
H
A
S
L
I
will
say
either
the
we
can
live
with
the
typo
or
the
council
can
amend
it.
An
amendment
would
send
this
back
to
the
plan
commission,
so
another
option-
I,
don't
know
that
we've
done
this
before.
If
it's
an
obvious
mistake,
that's
non-substantive
could
be
treated
as
a
scrivener's
there.
There
could
be
a
note
added
that
it
was
corrected
after
the
council
voted
on
the
the
ordinance
so
that
it's
at
least
right
in
our
codified
version
of
The
Code
online.
L
Not
worth
doing
the
amendment
yeah
I'll
talk
to
the
clerk
I,
don't
know
if
we've
done
that
before,
but
if
the
clerk
added
a
note
to
the
the
past,
assuming
this
ordinance
passes,
add
a
note
to
the
legislation
and
then
the
version
we
send
to
the
codifier
can
be
the
corrected
version.
H
E
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
the
point
of
the
question
I
just
asked:
it
should
not
be
allowed
in
this
city
that
a
business
can
close
its
doors
to
pedestrians,
but
still
serve
people
in
cars,
no
matter
whether
it's
half
an
hour
or
all
night
long.
But
if,
if
a
fast
food
restaurant
at
a
bank
can
do
it,
then
anybody
can
do
it
and
it
doesn't
it
it.
It
diverges
from
our
the
intent
of
our
comprehensive
plan.
E
I
I
think
that
Miss
Gannon
is
right
that
it's
probably-
and
it's
probably
not
a
title,
20
issue
unless
there
needs
to
be
specificity,
that
there
has
to
be
a
pedestrian
walk-up
that
is
safe,
that's
installed
with
any
drive
through
and
so
I
still
think
that
there
might
be
a
title,
20
aspect
to
it,
but
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
Council
staff
to
develop
an
ordinance
I
mean
it's.
It's
I
think
it's
overdue!
E
C
Sap
for
all
the
work
on
this
and
other
ordinances
I,
just
in
particular,
wanted
to
give
kudos
for
the
changes
with
respect
to
Ali
access
and
when
there
is
an
improved
alley
available
that
that's
the
required
point
for
a
drive,
cut
or
parking
just
statistically
speaking,
the
more
Drive
Cuts
we
could
eliminate
from
the
sidewalks
and
streetscape
the
safer
pedestrians
will
be
so
I
appreciate
that
change.
Thank
you.
D
I
have
a
comment:
I
support
the
Landscaping
requirement
changes,
but
if
they're
they're
to
have
meaning
it
seems
that
we
have
to
have
code
enforcement,
and
so,
although
this
isn't
necessarily
it
isn't,
isn't
pertinent
tonight.
D
Well
perhaps
it
is,
and
insofar
as
this
is,
our
code
should
be
maintained,
but
if
there
aren't
inspection
Personnel
to
do
that,
then
it's
what's
the
point
and
I've
seen
a
lot
of
sites
where
this
seemingly
occurs.
It's
not
only
important
for
net
native
biodiversity
in
terms
of
the
Native
plantings,
but
it's
particularly
important
with
non-native
invasives,
which
then
use
those
sites
to
spread
the
proper
gills
spread
from
that
into
surrounding
neighborhoods
or
or
the
environment
generally.

P
One
all
right,
we
are
on
page
210.
We
are
looking
at
00723.
The
plan
commission
heard
that
case
again
and
it's
March
6th
hearing
and
voted
to
send
the
petition
to
the
common
council
with
a
positive
recommendation
with
a
vote
of
eight
zero.
This
this
petition
is
related
to
chapter
six
Administration
and
procedures.
The
Amendments
cover
a
variety
of
topics.
Multiple
amendments
extend
the
appeal
time.
Excuse
me
appeal
period
from
five
days
to
ten
days
for
various
department
or
commission
decisions,
unnecessary
or
duplicate
regulations
are
removed.
P
When
a
change
in
use
review
is
required
for
a
grading
permit
is
clarified,
site
plan,
expiration
timeline
again
is
made
more
explicit.
We
updated
some
outdated
language.
The
demolition
delay,
expiration
timeline
is
made
explicit
language
related
to
grading.
Permit
exemptions
is
clarified,
as
well
as
language
related
to
lot
line
shift
expectations.
P
this
on
this
page,
we
are
extending
the
appeal
period
for
a
hearing
officer
decision
from
five
to
ten
days.
We're
going
to
do
that
multiple
times
in
this
ordinance
recommendation
from
the
legal
department.
So,
instead
of
having
five
days
from
when
we
send
you
a
letter
which
you
may
not
get
you
know
until
the
third
day
now,
you
have
a
little
bit
more
time
to
decide
if
you
would
like
to
actually
appeal,
and
so
we
think
that
10
days
is
more
appropriate.
P
This
is
related
to
removing
this
requirement
where
it
says
that
the
changes
that
you're
proposing,
for
example,
to
a
site
plan
that
we
would
try
to
determine
whether
or
not
they
were
minor
related
to
whether
or
not
they're
necessary
to
commit
conditions
of
approval
or
commitments.
The
way
that
it's
written,
you
have
to
meet
all
three
of
these,
and
we
don't
think
that
the
second
condition
is
actually
even
necessary.
P
Okay
and
then
under
minor
site
plan,
review
God
bless
you.
This
is
the
one
that
Miss
Piedmont
Smith
was
asking
about.
P
So
when
we're
determining
whether
or
not
a
petition
for
a
development
or
a
Redevelopment
needs
site
plan
review,
we
also
have
to
determine
whether
or
not
that
review
is
going
to
be
minor
site
plan,
which
is
Staff
level
or
major
site
plan
which
goes
to
the
plan
commission.
So
we
have
tweaked
these
lists
over
the
years
that
they,
since
they
were
adopted
in
2020,
and
enough
has
been
changed
and
added.
P
So
it's
either
a
change
in
use
or
an
expansion
or
all
alteration
of
the
lawful
non-conforming
site
feature
that
falls
below
the
major
threshold
major
site
plan
threshold.
So
we
can
talk
more
about
that
and
Mr
greulich
might
be
able
to
help
me
out
on
that
one.
But
basically
we
determined
that
that
one
was
no
longer
necessary.
We've
been
kind
of
trying
to
whittle
these
down
over
the
years
so
that
it's
clearer
and
easier
to
understand.
P
So
I
don't
know
if
I
helped
that
today,
but
number
seven.
Currently
all
petitions
that
require
a
grading
permit
get
minor
site
plan
review.
We
want
to
clarify
that
this
is
if
they
are
doing
site
plan
improved
with
site
plan.
Improvements
have
been
triggered
so,
for
example,
we've
seen
grading
permits
where
it
is
just
Earth
movement,
for
example,
working
on
a
detention
ponds,
so
they
are
Excavating
more
than
2500
square
or
sorry
2
500
square
feet,
and
so
this
technically
also
requires
minor
site
plan
review.
P
But
there
are
no
standards
to
review
because
they're
not
actually
doing
any
improvements.
So
just
clarifying
that
in
grading
permits
in
that
type
of
situation,
we
won't
be
doing
the
extra
site
plan
syncing
this
language
here,
where
it
says
flood
wave
Fringe
taking
out
the
way,
because
that
was
one
of
the
changes
from
the
state
code,
changing
that
term
to
flood
Fringe
and
then
at
the
bottom
of
page
213
clarifying
that
if
you
would
like
a
site
plan
extension,
you
need
to
request
it
within
the
year
that
your
site
plan
is
good.
P
P
Again,
on
215,
changing
a
flood
way
Fringe
to
flood
Fringe
and
then
expiration.
Excuse
me
expiration
of
approval
again
clarifying
that
you
need
to
request
your
extension
within
the
year
and
changing
developer
to
petitioner.
As
sometimes
you
know,
the
petitioner
isn't
the
actual
developer.
P
Okay,
so
we're
looking
on
page
216,
and
this
is
related
to
demolition
delay,
so
just
changing
some
language
that
was
left
over
from
the
old
code,
for
example,
saying
non-residential
zoning
District,
We
Now
call
those
mixed
use
districts
or
changing
any
single
family
District
to
listing
the
R1
through
R4,
so
doing
that
on
216,
and
then
removing
this
publication
requirement
for
demolition
delay
the
publication
any
publication
requirements
that
are
done
are
done
through
hand.
So
this
reference
is
not
something
that
we
we
actually
have
done
and
they
handle
all
the
publishing
requirements.
P
So
we
need
to
take
that
out
of
code
so
that
that's
clear
and
then
again
clarifying
how
long
a
demolition
delay
approval
is
valid
so
explicitly
stating
stating
that
the
approval
expires
within
one
year.
We're
currently
code
only
says
you
can't
apply
for
two
within
a
year
for
the
same
project,
so
clarifying
that
that
is
that
it
is
good
for
the
full
year
and
then
expires.
P
So
now,
I'm
on
the
top
of
page
219,
again
just
clarifying
some
language
here,
listing
the
uses
for
which
land
disturbing
activity
is
Exempted
from
a
grading
permit.
Instead
of
saying
on
an
individual
single
family
lot
listing
those
uses,
such
as
single-family
dwelling
and
the
plexuses
that
we
group,
together
as
the
typical
uses
on
a
potential
uses
on
a
single
family
lot
and
then
clarifying
under
number
three,
that
for
the
foundation
exemption
that
we
included
I
believe
last
year,
that
that
is
only
for.
If
you
are
only
doing
foundation,
work.
P
Okay,
so
we're
at
the
bottom
of
220-
and
this
is
language
related
to
a
process
that
we
call
lot
line
shift,
and
so
it's
basically
when
you
have
typically
two
parcels
and
you
want
to
move
a
line
between
them.
You
don't
have
to
go
through
an
official
subdivision
subdivision
process.
The
state
exempts
that
process
from
subdivision
control
and
we
can
process
it
in
this
other
way.
P
Something
that
we
run
into
is
what
requirements
do
those
lots
have
to
be
held
to,
because
code
requires
that
any
new
lot
meets
code
requirements
which
we
discussed
a
little
bit
earlier.
So
this
is
clarifying
that
we
want
the
lots
to
meet
the
minimum
zoning
requirements
of
chapter
two
and
that
that
is
you
know
our
very
basic
development
standards,
such
as
setbacks
and
minimum
lot
size
so
that
we
aren't
opening
up
chapter
four
every
time
we're
doing
a
lot
line
shift.
P
Okay
at
the
bottom
of
222,
an
appeal
to
plan
commission
switching
from
five
days
to
ten.
P
An
administrative
appeal
so
from
a
decision,
for
example,
most
of
our
administrative
appeals
are
related
to
notices
of
violation.
We
issue
so
switching
that
from
five
days
to
ten
as
well,
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
previously
saying
that
if
you
have
a
non-conforming
use,
we
will
consider
it
abandoned
after
12
months,
which
syncs
with
our
definition
of
use,
abandonment
of.
P
This
is
related
to
our
triggers
for
limited
compliance.
Basically,
you
will
have
to
do
some
sort
of
site
site
updates
if
you're
doing
a
change
in
use
or
expansion,
enlargement
or
relocation.
This
is
for
non-residential
and
mixed
use
or
re-establishment
of
a
site
that
has
had
a
conforming
use.
That's
been
gone
for
a
year.
P
We
exempt
expansions
alterations
or
modifications
that
are
smaller
than
10
percent,
but
we
have
seen
on
a
couple
of
sites
where
a
project
will
come
through
smaller
than
10
percent,
so
they
don't
have
to
do
site
improvements
and
then,
three
years
later
they
apply
for
another
expansion
which
is
smaller
than
10
percent.
So
they
don't
have
to
do
site
improvements,
so
we're
adding
in
here
that
they
will
be
cumulative.
P
One
left-
oh,
this
is
the
last
one.
This
is
Page
226
of
your
packet
number,
eight
pedestrian
facilities.
This
again
isn't
a
limited
compliance
situation,
so
when
you're
moving
into
a
building
that
already
exists
and
doing
a
change
of
use,
for
example,
you
have
to
do
some
updates
to
the
site,
and
one
of
those
updates
for
a
long
time
has
been
that
if
your
curb
ramps
adjacent
to
your
parcel
do
not
meet
Americans
with
disability,
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act,
you
have
to
bring
those
into
compliance.
P
We
are
proposing
to
codify
the
original
intent
of
what
the
regulation
was,
because
in
a
limited
compliance
situation,
it's
not
a
new
build.
It's
often,
you
know
someone
renting
building
from
someone
else,
a
smaller
business,
and
it
can
be
quite
prohibitively
costly
to
do
those
updates
because,
for
example,
one
of
the
requirements
in
the
Ada
is
a
cross
slope,
and
so,
if
your
building,
that
you're
renting
has
a
public
sidewalk
in
front
of
it
that
can't
meet
cross
slope.
This
Co
the
way
the
code
is
written.
P
Now
it's
your
responsibility
to
replace
that
and
we
feel
like
that's
a
kind
of
a
scale
issue
based
on
what
you're,
what
you're
really
doing
there
and
what
you
should
be
responsible
for,
so
we're
proposing
to
codify
that
to
be
specifically
to
the
curb
ramps
and
that's
the
last
one
I
have
so
I
can
answer
any
questions
thanks.
Thank
you.
Questions.
H
Yes,
so
that
very
last
point
the
pedestrian
facilities
I'm
trying
to
find
what
the
context
of
that
is.
So
it
is
limited.
So
it's
a
non-conforming
site
sure.
P
Birth
center.
Yes,
so
we
had
a
business
go
in
on
I,
always
say
they're
on
East
Third,
into
an
existing
building
and
limited
compliance
change
of
use
situation,
so
they
had
to
make
some
Landscaping
updates.
I
think
they
initially
were
going
to
have
to
add
an
island
small
scale
updates
to
their
small
site
of
which
they
didn't
own,
and
you
know
they
have
to
add
bike
parking.
They
sign
in
chest
to
meet
requirements.
P
Dumpster
enclosure
has
to
go
in
so
there
are
things
stretching
all
throughout
chapter
four
that
they
are
required
to
bring
up,
not
all
not
all
the
way
to
Code
Compliance
for
some
of
them,
but
to
address,
and
in
this
situation
when
they
had
their
sidewalk,
looked
at
by
by
a
professional
it
didn't
meet
cross
slopes,
so
code
require
was
going
to
require
that
they
take
out
the
entirety
of
the
sidewalk
and
put
it
back
in
and
through
lots
of
discussion
with
different
parties.
P
It
was
made
determined
that
that
may
be
a
little
that
the
scale
of
that
requirement
might
be
out
of
step
with
with
the
kinds
of
development
that
will
be
triggered
that
will
trigger
these
standards,
and
in
that
case
in
particular,
you
know
the
sidewalk
had
only
been
put
in.
P
A
Questions,
if
not
I'll
take
a
turn
seeing
none
Miss
Scanlon
on
page
211
in
the
section
on
flat
committee,
under
minor
changes
allowed
without
the
need
for
a
new
petition,
provided
that
the
planning
and
transportation
director
determines
that
the
proposed
changes
and
then
we're
striking
the
phrase
are
necessary
to
meet
conditions
of
approval
or
commitments.
You
said
that
we
weren't
it
turns
out
that
wasn't
applying
very
often
or
at
all
what
kinds
of
conditions
or
commitments
were
contemplated
when
that
language
was
first
included.
A
Q
Thank
you
so
so
that
particular
section
you
know
anytime
I'm,
sorry
Eric,
grellick,
again
senior
zoning
planner.
So
you
know
whenever
a
petition
comes
forward,
if
there's
an
approval
condition
of
approval,
says
you
have
to
change
something.
Obviously
they
have
to
change
something.
You
know
whether
it's
an
entrance.
You
know
whatever
aspect,
you
know
more
shrubs.
Q
You
know
what
is
something
to
meet
code,
so
what
we
had
seen
time
and
time
again,
though,
somebody's
like
oh
I,
want
to
change
the
color
of
the
side
of
this
building
from
this
to
this
or
I
want
to.
You
know,
change
the
size
of
a
window,
something
that
was
inconsequential,
but
it
wasn't
necessary
to
meet
a
condition
of
approval,
so
this
wouldn't
even
have
allowed
them
to
change
one
single
thing,
and
so
this
this
change
gives
us
more
discretion.
Q
You
know
mostly
leaning
on
the
last
one
you
know
would
not
significantly
alter
the
function,
form
intensity
character.
You
know
if
somebody
wants
to
change
a
color.
If
they
want
to
change,
you
know
a
window
size
or
some
minutia.
Q
You
know
they
wouldn't
have
been
allowed
to
do
do
that
before.
But
with
this
you
know
it
gives
us
more
flexibility.
You
know
the
presence
of
the
word
and
you
know,
ties
everything
together,
so
it
was
just
not
giving
much
flexibility
oftentimes,
as
we
would
see
between
a
plant
commission
hearing
and
a
permit.
You
know
there
are
going
to
be
certain
changes
that
happen.
Sometimes.
H
Yeah
just
to
tag
on
to
that,
unfortunately,
the
word
and
is
being
deleted
with
this
change,
and
it
would
be
helpful
to
leave
it
in
another
minor.
A
Additional
questions
before
we
go
to
public
comment.
Seeing
none,
then,
let's
go

Cascades
Park.
T
The
right
answer
is
to
make
connector
paths
that
the
neighborhoods
up
there
aren't
segregated
from
each
other,
for
example,
there's
already
a
pedestrian
bridge
over
the
bypass,
but
it
doesn't
connect
to
anything
at
all.
A
couple
connections
there
would
let
the
Arlington
Valley
trailer
park
residents
use
that
bridge.
T
There
are
challenges
to
these
connector
paths,
Hills,
money,
political
will
to
take
the
land,
but
ask
any
planner.
That's
really
the
right
way
to
to
deal
with
this
problem.
From
the
very
beginning
of
the
Greenways
plan,
City
staff
decided
on
a
shortcut
instead
of
a
comprehensive
network
of
connections.
They
would
simply
build
a
path
through
Cascades
that
had
a
bunch
of
disadvantages
and
only
one
advantage.
Parks
and
Rec
Department
was
willing
back
then
engineering
was
within
Public
Works.
T
So
they
asked
for
the
money
for
transportation.
We've
already
spent
about
three
to
five
million
dollars
on
the
Cascades
path,
and
the
result
is
isolated
segments
almost
useless
for
transportation.
They
don't
even
connect
Park
Properties
to
each
other
almost,
but
we
still
need
those
connector
paths
and
even
after
the
Cascades
path,
we
will
still
need
connectors.
So
I
am
always
looking
for
opportunities.
T
Last
week
at
the
plan,
commission,
the
Ridgefield
site
plan
came
up
for
reapproval.
That's
a
suburb,
just
north
of
North
High
School
30
years
ago.
The
original
Plan
called
for
a
connector
path
to
the
school
from
the
suburb.
That
would
turn
a
three-quarters
of
a
mile
trip
into
a
one-quarter
of
a
mile
trip
for
pedestrians.
It
is
just
a
night
and
day
it
still
hasn't
been
built
and
the
new
site
plan.
It
was
revised
and
it
deleted
the
path
for
two
reasons:
MCCSC
didn't
want
it.
They
just
don't
care,
it's
disappointing.
It's
wrong.
T
T
This
should
be
a
priority
for
the
city.
Instead
of
saying
no
to
a
hillypath,
we
should
invest
the
resources
to
actually
make
a
good
ADA
Compliant
path.
It's
a
problem
at
this
site.
It's
not
even
a
hard
problem.
It
would
just
require
a
new
retaining
wall,
that's
it
and
we
needed
at
least
half
a
dozen
more
paths.
T
Just
like
this
one
and
there's
no
plan
for
any
of
them,
but
there's
one
silver
lining
our
planner,
so
finally,
pierce
the
walls
of
engineering
and
public
works
and
and
funding
and
the
result
is
a
pathetically
unambitious,
Greenways
plan.
But
since
it's
made
by
planners
instead
of
Park
staff,
it
has
two
features
that
were
only
a
big
dream
a
decade
ago.
First,
it's
designed
to
be
a
connected
Network.
Second,
they
prioritize
the
build
out.
So
it
starts
at
the
center
city
and
works
out
that
is
so
much
more
useful
than
isolated
segments.
T
The
downside
is
the
funding's
still
a
joke,
and
so
is
the
political
will.
That's
you
guys.
So
they
have
to
use
existing
roads
and
the
only
tool
they
have
to
make
them
appropriate
for
all
ages
and
all
abilities
is
speed,
humps
to
slow
cars
down
and
the
worst
part.
It
will
take
at
least
a
decade.
At
this
rate,
to
build
out
the
part.
That's
already
been
mapped
out
after
a
decade,
there
still
won't
be
anything
north
of
the
bypass.
T
So
that's
why
I
love
the
Greenways
program
and
it's
why
I
hate
the
Greenways
program,
and
it's
also
why
planning
staff
is
desperately
trying
to
find
the
cheapest
and
fastest
way
to
implement
the
Cascades
path,
because
Parks
decided
after
millions
of
dollars,
were
already
spent
that
the
core
segment
was
impossible
and
everything
else
is
still
decades
away.
It's
the
ball
is
in
your
court.
Do
you
care?
T
Does
this
body
care
that
there's
still
not
a
single,
safe,
biker
pet
route
to
North
High
School,
still
more
than
15
years
after
it
was
first
dreamed
up,
my
oldest
is
11..
They
had
already
spent
a
million
dollars
on
the
Cascades
Trail
before
he
was
even
born,
he's
going
to
be
a
freshman
pretty
soon
like
that
blows
my
mind,
but
will
there
be
even
a
single
connection
to
North
High
School
for
bike
and
ped?
Thank
you.

An
item
the
council
has
a
scheduled
budget
Advance
meeting
on
Tuesday
next
week.
That
meeting
was
originally
scheduled
for
this
room.
The
council
chambers,
on
your
annual
schedule,
the
Board
of
Public
Works
I,
believe
if
I
have
the
board
right,
has
a
meeting
that
night
as
well
and
would
like
the
room,
and
so
if
a
member
doesn't
mind
to
make
a
motion
to
move
that
to
the
McCloskey
room,
we've
already
got
that
room
set
up
and
I
believe
many
budget.
Advanced
meetings
have
have
been
held
in
conference
rooms
anyway.
