A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
September
28
2023
meeting
of
the
Bloomington
Planning
Commission,
the
Planning
Commission
is
made
up
of
seven
volunteer
Bloomington
residents
appointed
by
the
city
council.
Tonight
we
have
five,
which
is
a
quorum.
The
commission
advises
the
city
council
on
development
proposals,
development
standards,
long-range
planning
and
transportation
issues.
Our
work
is
informed
by
the
city's
comprehensive
plan,
various
District
plans
and
the
city
code
for
some
items.
The
commission
makes
a
recommendation
with
the
city
council
having
the
final
decision-making
Authority
There
Are,
No,
Agenda
items
of
that
nature
tonight.
A
In
other
cases,
the
Planning
Commission
can
approve
or
deny
an
application
subject
to
an
appeal
to
the
city
council,
and
we
have
two
of
those
items
tonight
for
each
action
item.
There
will
be
a
staff
report,
an
opportunity
for
the
applicant
to
present
then
time
for
any
member
of
the
public
to
provide
testimony.
D
Thank
you,
chair
Roman
planning
Commissioners.
As
you
mentioned,
we
have
two
public
hearings
on
tonight's
agenda
and
any
folk
anyone
can
in
the
council,
chambers
or
joining
us
remotely
has
the
ability
to
testify
for
those
public
hearings.
If
you
are
at
home
or
remote,
you
can
call
the
phone
number
that's
on
the
screen
here.
D
A
E
E
So
daycare
facilities
in
places
of
assembly
are
allowed
with
a
conditional
use,
permit
limited
to
the
25
of
the
total
floor
area.
In
this
case,
this
floor
plan
shows
the
proposed
room
this
designated
for
the
daycare
center
and
is
highlighted
in
green
on
the
screen.
These
are
approximately
11
of
the
total
floor
area
of
the
places
of
assembly.
The
daycare
center
has
been
in
operation
since
1968,
with
an
approved
license
from
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Health
Services
for
up
to
a
maximum
of
20
children.
E
However,
our
records
indicates
that
there
is
not
a
conditional
use
permit
for
this
property.
We
saw
how
we
know
about
this.
Is
we
received
a
an
inquiry
from
the
Department
of
the
human
services
to
increase
the
number
of
children
to
40
children,
and
we
did
our
research
and
that's
how
we
knew
that
we
noticed
that
there
wasn't
a
conditional
use
permit
for
this
property.
E
So
for
the
sideline
landscaping
and
lighting,
our
lighting
are
not
triggered
with
this
application,
but
they
have
to
maintain
their
approved
plans
from
2001.
staff
is
not
concerned
about
parking.
There
are
361
existing
parking
spaces
and
they
require
space.
They
require
parking
spaces
for
the
proposed.
Their
daycare
is
10
spaces.
E
There
is
a
fence
in
playground
on
the
south
side
of
the
building
and
staff
is
not
concerned
about
noise
because
it's
not
near
the
residential
homes
to
the
North
or
the
east
or
west
of
the
property.
The
applicant
is
not
proposing
any
exterior
changes
at
this
time,
and
with
that
we
were
able
to
find
the
required
findings
and
we
recommend
approval
through
the
motion
on
the
screen.
F
E
G
Commissioner
Curry,
thank
you,
chair,
just
a
clarification
so
in
the
floor
plan
it
it
looked
like
I'd,
say
over
25
percent
of
the
space
in
the
building
is
highlighted,
green
and
then
the
but
I
believe
as
part
of
the
approval
it
needs
to
be,
or
the
use
needs
to
be
dedicated
less
than
25
percent.
Just
want
to
confirm
that
some
of
the
spaces
not
dedicated
specifically
to
the
daycare.
E
G
A
A
A
A
I
Thank
you,
chair,
I,
think
this
is
a
great
application.
I'm
happy
to
be
cleaning
this
up
with
a
conditional
use
permit
for
the
additional
children
on
site.
I.
Do
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
have
enough
daycare
centers
for
the
city
of
Bloomington,
given
that
the
the
need
is
so
high
in
that
area,
so
I'm
glad
that
the
church
is
able
to
increase
the
number
of
students
in
Fairly,
straightforward
applications.
So
I
am
in
support.

This
slide
shows
the
floor
plan
and
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
use
about
13
750
square
feet
of
the
23
3073
square
foot
built
in
the
organization
has
24
7
staff
and
will
have
security
measures
approved
by
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Services
licensed
Licensing
Division
to
safely
serve
all
the
clients.
Also,
the
city
received
several
letters
of
support
for
the
project,
as
is
shown
in
your
packet.

Thank
you,
chair,
I,
think
this
proposal
is
pretty
straightforward,
as
it's
been
in
operation
since
2014
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
you
know
they're
increasing
their
capacity,
which
is
great
for
them,
and
the
residence
of
Bloomington,
as
well
as
the
needed
parties
here
so
I.
Also
like
that
they're
inclusive
of
you
know
all
people,
not
just
one
gender,
so
I
will
support
this
application,
as
it
is
in
front
of
us.

an

Thank

the
