Description
Bloomington Minnesota Planning Commission Meeting
A
17
supported
by
the
City
Council
most
items,
we
make
recommendations
to
the
to
the
council.
However,
some
items
we
have
final
decision-making
authority
subject
to
an
appeal
to
the
City
Council
for
each
item.
There
will
be
a
staff
report,
a
chance
for
the
applicant
to
speak
and
then
time
for
public
comment.
We
start
with
the
pledge
of
your
able.
Please
stand.
A
B
Madam
chair
commissioners,
this
is
our
sixth
remote
meeting
since
the
pandemic
started.
We
have
three
people
physically
present
in
the
Chamber's
tonight.
Everybody
else
is
joining
remotely,
including
planning
commissioners
staff
applicants
and
members
of
the
public.
So
if
you're
watching
alive
and
would
like
to
testify,
you
can
call
the
number
on
the
screen.
Nine
five,
two
five
six,
three
eight
nine
two
six
or
send
an
email
to
Planning
at
Bloomington,
amend,
govt
and
you'll
receive
instructions
on
how
to
participate
remotely.
B
We
do
have
one
person
that
said
that
they
or
has
already
registered
to
speak
tonight
and
I
would
note
that
that
number
will
be
scrolling
across
the
bottom
of
the
screen
throughout
the
meeting.
If
you
need
to
refer
to
it
unless
you're
watching
on
delay,
then
it
would
not
be
there.
So
all
votes
must
be
conducted
by
roll
call
and
that's
all
thank.
C
Thank
you.
So.
The
first
item
is
a
privately
initiated
city
code
amendment
to
allow
banks
without
drive-throughs
in
the
c3
and
c5
commercial
zoning
districts.
So
the
applicant
is
specifically
interested
and
hasn't
a
bank
without
a
drive-thru,
a
performer
wedding-day
jewelers,
that's
right
with
that
7901
Avenue,
which
is
known
to
c3.
C
So
thanks
today
are
defined
in
the
code
as
an
establishment
with
the
primary
purpose
of
deposit
banking
included,
but
not
limited
to
commercial
banks,
savings
institutions
and
credit
unions.
So
by
this
definition,
banks
at
a
retail
component,
they
usually
have
a
teller,
that's
present,
and
they
typically
include
a
few
officers
at
least
then
looking
at
the
youth
table,
then
they
start
permitted
use
in
most
commercial
zoning
districts.
C
However,
they're
limited
in
the
C
3
C,
4
and
C
5
districts,
and
so
by
limited
it
means
that
they
cannot
locate
in
a
standalone
building
and
make
up
the
entire
floor
area.
We
said
they're
limited
to
what
they're
only
allowed
to
occupy
up
to
25%
of
the
buildings
for
area.
So
currently
the
code,
as
shown
here,
treats
all
banks
the
same.
Whether
or
not
they'd
have
a
drive-through
the
first
proposal,
then
the
first
proposed
change
is
to
distinguish,
since
without
drive-throughs
from
those
that
do
have
them
CLT.
C
Then
the
second
proposed
changed
and
patrol
all
banks
without
drive-throughs
is
permitted
in
c3
and
c5
zoning
districts.
All
other
youth
designations
would
remain
the
same
really.
The
subsidence
substantive
changes
that
are
proposed
to
life
are
shown
in
blue
in
the
table
here
on
the
screen.
So
it's
that's
perspective.
C
So
currently,
the
c3
c5
districts
are
all
located
in
and
around
the
pan-american
district,
with
just
a
few
exceptions.
There's
a
couple
parcels
just
to
the
east
of
I-35,
as
shown
in
the
map
here
in
red,
so
Socrates
that
a
bank
without
a
drive-thru
in
this
area
would
also
set
the
intentions
of
that
an
American
district,
in
that
it
would
support
a
more
walkable,
pedestrian,
friendly
type
of
use,
very
type
of
environment,
and
that
the
bank
then
would
also
support
a
mix
of
residential
and
commercial
uses
in
that
area.
C
Enhancing
the
livability
of
the
area,
the
other
benefit
of
the
change
that
it
would
allow
more
reuse
options
for
a
few
smaller
buildings
that
are
illegally
non-conforming
in
this
area.
Today,
that's
with
that
I
do
have
a
motion.
What
staff
is
recommending
people
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
I
believe
the
applicant
is
also
available.
D
C
C
C
So
with
this
amendment,
no
keeping
in
mind,
it
is
a
private
initiated
amendment
that
didn't
want
to
no
limitations
to
banks,
no
reducing
the
used
to
know
you're
looking
at
be
one,
though
kind
of
with
a
similar
idea
that
this
being
a
privately
initiated
court
amendments.
Banks
are
not
allowed
in
that
district
today,
with
her
without
drive-throughs
really
that'd
be
one
district.
E
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
and
thanks
a
lot
John
for
all
your
help
with
this
yeah.
More
specifically,
we
are
looking
to
include,
like
we
said,
the
financial
services
section,
with
a
new
kind
of
innovative
Bank
in
in
this
area.
It
fits
very
well
in
with
the
kind
of
the
motif
and
the
the
original
intention
of
these
the
c3
district,
in
that
these
areas
usually
incorporate
high
foot
traffic.
E
They
want
the
the
pedestrian
traffic
to
be
around
the
areas
while
at
the
same
time
utilizing
the
same
retail
functions
as
most
of
these
spaces
in
here.
So
that's,
that's
kind
of
the
intention.
Also.
The
other
intention
is
that
there
will
be
no
drive
throughs.
You
know
here,
so
we
wanted
to
keep
that
intention
still
in
the
area.
So
that's
it's
kind
of
what
we
wanted
to
do.
It's
kind
of
what
we've
been
talking
about
for
you
know
the
past
couple
months
together
and
I'm,
hoping
that
we
move
forward.
B
H
You,
madam
chair
I,
am
supportive
of
this
amendments.
I
think
that,
as
we
are
seeing
more
of
our
c3
area
develop
and
seeing
a
head
in
the
direction,
I
think
that
was
part
of
the
vision
in
the
original
previous
comprehensive
plan.
I
think
this
is
very
much
in
alignment
with
it
as
the
orange
line
or
about
what
maybe
here,
you're
going
to
have
away
from
that
these
kinds
of
less
auto
centric
things
in
this
area
of
our
city
are
very
much
in
alignment,
so
I
am
supportive.
D
Thanks,
madam
chair
I,
would
second
what
kosher
Roman
says
now.
One
of
the
things
that
I
have
in
the
back
of
my
mind
is
during
this
current
pandemic.
I
would
say:
actually
it's
probably
the
first
time
in
about
a
decade.
I've
used
the
drive-through
of
the
bake
and
it
was
quite
convenient
for
me
to
use
an
obviously
distance
I
know.
A
lot
of
the
lobbies
are
closed.
D
So
I
support
this
overall
I
think
a
timing
and
obviously
the
current
situation
is
something
to
think
about,
but
I
think
the
intent
for
what
we
hope
is
the
future.
When
we
could
have
more
walkable,
more
face-to-face
conversations
and
person-to-person
interactions,
it's
definitely
move
in
the
right
direction.
H
I
A
B
A
J
J
Okay,
so
sorry,
let's
try
this
again
here
we
go
and
everyone
see
the
presentation.
Okay,
yes,
thank
you
right.
Thank
you
so
item
two
in
your
agenda
is
for
American
square
land
development
and
what
that
entails
is
a
two-phase
plan.
Development
phase
one
is
a
intended
to
be
a
242
unit,
marker,
great
apartment
building,
that's
currently
a
surface
parking
lot
and
then
phase
2
would
be
a
86
unit.
Workforce
housing
development.
J
Originally
the
applicant
did
apply
for
two
variances
to
bluff
protection
standards.
However,
the
City
Council
very
recently
adopted
essentially
a
rewrite
of
bluff
protection
standards,
and
that
was
in
the
works
for
quite
some
time,
and
those
amendments
were
published
in
today's
sun
current,
so
they
are
official
and
because
the
variances
are
no
longer
necessary
for
what
the
applicant
is
proposing.
They
have
withdrawn
those.
So
we
are
asking
you
to
take
action
on
the
preliminary
and
final
development
plan
for
the
American
square
development.
J
Here's
the
existing
conditions
for
this
area,
so
we're
in
the
south
of
district
and
the
site.
Obviously
this
site
is
pretty
much
developed.
You
can
see
quite
a
bit
of
surface
parking
but
in
addition,
there's
an
existing
hotel
quite
a
bit
of
office
development,
kind
of
development.
You
can
see
along
the
block
the
some
of
the
primary
features
of
the
most
development.
J
So
here's
the
existing
conditions
for
what's
a
tend
to
be
phase
one,
and
so
this
is
looking
south
east
from
more
or
less
American,
Boulevard
and
again
surface
parking
lot.
You
can
see
the
trail
and
on
the
north
side
of
the
site,
and
that
leads.
You
know
if
you're
looking
off
the
screen
that
leads
to
the
the
refuge
to
the
east.
J
Traffic,
it's
a
very
development
plant
in
plan
view,
so
phase
one.
If
you
can
follow
my
cursor
is
a
six
story,
market
rate
building
242
units
and
that
one
and
that
would
be
built
quite
close
to
American,
Boulevard,
East
and
so
in
the
HR
hxr
district.
This
whole
site
is
owned.
H,
h,
HX,
r!
Excuse
me:
there
isn't
a
minimum
building
setback
relative
to
public
right-of-way.
Now.
That
being
said,
we
still
need
to
make
room
for
public
easements,
so
essentially
in
the
HX
r
district.
J
The
setback
is
whenever
the
the
public
easement
is
in
that
particular
location.
So
the
applicant,
your
separate
applications
is
working
on
some
easement
changes
and
that's
and
that's
in
process
which
we
are
supportive
of,
but
essentially
the
setback
is
only
about
10
feet
from
American
Boulevard
East.
So
that
does
again
like
we
want
to
see
in
the
south
of
district,
very
much
create
rain.
American
Boulevard
I
create
more
of
a
corridor
with
the
built
environment
as
opposed
to
surface
parking
lots,
and
that
would
definitely
be
accomplished
with
this.
J
With
this
project,
phase
2,
as
I
mentioned,
is
to
two
main
components
in
phase
2.
One
is
the
86
unit,
workforce,
housing,
development
and
then
a
structured
parking
lot
parking
structure
and
that
really
is
to
serve
shared
uses
within
the
American
square
development.
A
surface
thought
that
exists
today
serves
one
of
the
office
buildings
within
the
development
and
would
also
be
shared
with
the
proposed
development
tonight.
J
So,
as
we
see
blue
inch
intensifying
in
particular
within
our
South
Loop
District,
we're
gonna
continue
to
see
more
shared
parking,
so
you
don't
have
an
entirely
independent
pots
of
parking
where
they
aren't
used
a
large
portion
of
the
day.
But
in
this
case,
if
you
share
parking
between
residential
uses
and
office
uses
you
can
you
can
actually
have.
You
know
it
works
quite
well
from
a
park
peak
standpoint.
J
This
is
a
three-dimensional
representation
of
what
of
the
creamery
development
plan
so
on
on
the
right
side
of
the
screen.
You
see
the
the
market
rate,
and
you
know
again.
This
is
this
is
a
long
the
River
Bluff
like
I
mentioned
they
don't
need
any
variances
anymore.
Now
that
the
bluff
protection
standards
have
been
revised,
but
they
are
along
the
bluff.
So
that
certainly
is
very
unique
for
this
site,
and
then
you
can
see
on
the
left
side
of
the
graphic
that
workforce
housing
with
the
parking
structure
in
between.
J
This
is
a
Phase.
Two
image
will
get
back
to
phase
one
as
we
talked
about
the
final
development
plan,
but
for
the
PDP
we
really
actually
have
a
lot
of
information
for
Phase
two
more
than
we
normally
would
for
a
PDP
for
future
phase.
But
this
is
a
three-dimensional
image
of
as
you
approach
the
building,
how
you
would
access
the
parking
structure
from
the
north.
So
this
would
be
this
drive.
That's
in
the
center
of
the
screen
is
a
north-south
connection.
They
would
also
be
a
connection
to
the
West
linking
this
building
to
34th
Avenue.
J
Therefore,
folks
that
would
live
here.
Probably
the
most
convenient
way
to
get
to
the
light
rail
station,
which
is
less
than
a
quarter
miles
walk,
is
to
go
to
the
West
34th
Avenue
similar
again,
this
is
phase
two,
so
you
can
see
a
site
plan
view
the
little
footprint
of
the
building
and
then
the
top
level
of
the
parking
structure.
So
you
see
the
pedestrian
and
vehicular
connection
out
towards
34th
Avenue
and
then
on
the
northeast
side
of
the
site.
J
Now
going
to
the
going
to
the
final
development
plan
for
phase
1.
This
is
a
three-dimensional
image
of
what
that
phase.
1
would
look
like
so
six
storeys
again,
you
can
see
the
relationship
of
the
building
to
American,
Boulevard
East,
and
you
know
in
terms
of
building
materials
they
have.
They
are
not
taking
any
flexibility
or
for
exterior
building
materials.
J
J
There
is,
of
course,
a
little
bit
of
grading,
but
the
applicant
has
done
a
tremendous
amount
of
engineering
analysis
to
ensure
that
there
would
be
no
negative
impact
to
the
block
and
for
the
questions
I
imagine
they'd
be
able
to
address
that,
but,
as
part
of
our
review,
we
definitely
wanted
to
ensure
that
the
analysis
was
done.
So
not
only
is
it
Bluff
safe
if
you
will,
but
then
you
know,
there's
a
tremendous
number
of
mature
trees
along
the
bluff
and
the
vast
majority
of
those
would
be
retained.
J
We
want
to
ensure
that
pedestrians
have
access
to
the
parking
in
addition
to
the
structured
parking.
That's
on
Phase
one,
it's
just
it's
a
minor
thing
that
we'd
like
to
see
they
were
already
intending
on
having
a
gravel
maintenance.
Half
is
the
stormwater
management.
Is
an
out
lot
a
if
you
can
see
that
on
the
bottom
of
the
screen.
But
we
want
people
to
have
a
safe
connection
if
they
are
utilizing
that
surface
parking
lot
for
overflow
parking
or
or
guests,
for
example,.
J
This
is
a
landscape
plan
and
one
benefit
of
a
planned
development.
Is
you
can
meet
landscaping,
requirements
on
other
properties
and
and
to
a
small
degree,
that's
what
they
would
do
here.
Obviously,
along
the
street
there
they
would
be
implementing
quite
a
lot
of
trees
and
shrubs
along
American
Boulevard
East.
We
have
a
public
plaza,
which
I'll
I'll
touch
on
momentarily
on
the
lower
part
of
the
screen.
J
They
don't
meet
the
quantity
requirements,
but
because
the
existing
parking
structure
is
part
of
this
plan
development,
they
can
meet
the
requirement
by
having
landscaping
on
that
site,
and
so
this
is
actually
a
really
beneficial
thing
in
our
in
our
mind,
because
if
you
look
out
there
today-
and
this
is
just
a
street
view
image-
there
is
no
landscaping
between
the
park
construction
on
the
street.
So
the
proposal
would
improve
the
aesthetic
of
that
area.
J
Quite
a
bit
going
on
the
the
public
plaza
that
it's
a
unique
requirement
to
the
hxr
district,
and
we
have
certain
I
guess:
performance
standards
for
plazas,
one
that
there
has
to
be
one
available
to
the
public
know
you
have
certain
size
requirements
and
seating
requirements
and
some
dimensional
standards.
It
look.
There
appears
as
though
they
would
be
meeting
those.
J
You
can
see
a
very
well
heavily
landscaped,
plaza
area
that
has
a
direct
connection
to
the
American
bull
of
our
trail,
and
you
know
the
intent
is
its
it'd,
be
a
nice
place
to
sit
and
have
lunch
or
visit
with
coworkers
or
friends?
Perhaps
someone's
biking
along
the
trail?
They
maybe
want
to
stop
for
a
break
or
something,
and
this
would
provide
an
opportunity
to
do
that
as
well.
J
J
That's
for
that's
for
the
second
phase
and
when
we
do
feel
it
meets
the
objectives
of
the
oho
and
on
this
next
slide,
we
have
just
a
summary
of
some
of
the
incentives
that
they
are
seeking
for
Phase.
Two
and
I
want
to
reiterate
that
they're
not
seeking
any
oho
and
sentence
for
phase
one.
They
wouldn't
qualify
for
those
even
with
the
payment
in
lieu,
and
this
identify
incentives
for
a
future
final
development
plan.
J
If
you
think
of
independent
standalone
uses,
is
about
thirty
three
percent,
which
seems
quite
large.
But
then,
when
you
consider
the
fact
that
we're
less
than
a
quarter
mile
from
the
blue
line,
we
are
in
the
South
Loop
district,
where
we
anticipate
intense
development
and
the
fact
that
they
are
proposing
shared
parking
between
different
uses.
It
really.
It
works
out
pretty
well
and
the
parking.
The
parking
study
reflected
that
so
from
from
a
park
perspective.
J
Where
we're
comfortable
with
the
proposal,
they
are
proposing
over
700
parking
stalls
between
the
two
phases,
and
we
do
think
it
is
adequate.
I
just
identified
this
or
put
this
on
the
slideshow
to
show
that
the
phase
one
does
propose
two
levels
of
structured
parking.
They
are
seeking
a
deviation
for
a
slight
reduction
and
the
one
enclosed
stall
per
unit
requirement
and
we're
comfortable
that
comfortable
with
that
deviation,
one
because
it's
quite
small,
the
applicant
doesn't
anticipate
every
tenant
needing
or
desiring
a
parking
space,
and
hopefully
we
that
turns
out
to
be
the
case.
J
J
And
finally,
one
thing
that
we've
been
talking
about
among
staff
and
the
applicant
is
sanitary
sewer,
sewer
service
in
the
South
Loop
District.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
as
we
mentioned
in
the
staff
report,
and
then
we
sent
a
supplemental
memo
this
after
this
afternoon,
there
needs
to
be
sewer
improvements
within
the
south
of
district
to
serve
the
dense,
intense
development
that
we
want
and
those
that's
a
known
issue
and
the
city
has
planned
for
those
improvements
and
I've
even
started
working
on
that
issue.
J
But
after
thinking
about
the
proposed
conditions
that
we
included
in
the
report,
we
feel
like
we
want
a
slight
slightly
different
condition,
namely
because
well
to
go
back
to
the
condition.
As
it
reads
today.
It
ties
a
building
permit
to
the
city,
accepting
a
bid
for
a
sewer
improvement
project
and
that's
okay,
but
we
don't
we're
not
sure
exactly
when
that
would
be.
You
know
it's
planned.
J
It
has
to
happen,
but
we
could
give
you
a
date
an
exact
date,
so
we
don't
want
to
unnecessarily
delay
the
applicant
in
getting
getting
started
on
construction,
knowing
that
we
need
these
improvements
in
order
for
them
to
serve
their
building.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
a
slight
change.
They
can
see
in
the
lower
part
of
the
screen
and
so
tying
permits
to
a
bid.
H
You,
madam
chair,
a
couple
of
questions.
Mr.
sands
Mario,
so
help
me
understand,
and
I
probably
should
have
asked
this
question
really,
but
it
didn't
come
to
me
until,
as
you
were
walking
us
through
this,
we
think
about
this
project.
You
know
phase
one
phase
two
were
asked
to
consider
it
as
a
plan:
development,
a
bigger
scope
and
yet
phase
one
is
clearly
distinct
in
Phase.
Two
is
distinct,
so
dude.
So
in
order
to
develop
my
question,
are
the
residents
of
Phase
two
have
access
to
the
amenities
of
Phase
one,
or
are
they
only
distinct.
J
Then
I'm
sure
Commissioner
I
think
in
terms
of
the
amenities
they
probably
are.
Each
building
would
have
its
own
amenity
spaces,
so
I
suspect
these
two
residents
would
not
have
access
to
phase
one
and
amenities
such
as
like
the
pool,
or
instance,
but
would
have
access
to
the
public
plaza.
For
example,
that's
directly
next
to
phase
one
okay.
H
J
A
H
J
I'm
sure
Commissioner,
you
know
it's
something
that
has
been
in
the
back
of
our
minds
related
to
area
mounds.
We
do
have
a
number
of
them
in
the
city
of
Bloomington.
The
applicant
is
aware
of
that
and
there
there
hasn't
been
in
the
in
their
due
diligence
period
and
they're
surveying
and
tree
preservation
planning
any
indication
if
there
are
any
archaeological
sites
and
know
we
could
have
a
condition
related
to
that.
We
have
a
proposed
one,
regardless
of
whether
the
city
has
a
condition.
J
F
Thanks,
madam
chair-
and
maybe
this
is
one
more
for
engineering
I
know
we
we
we
talked
about
sanitary
sewer
there,
but
one
of
the
questions
that
I
think
came
up
a
couple
years
ago,
and
that
was
maybe
a
little
bit
further
to
the
east
was
stormwater
capacity.
Is
there
any
impact
to
that
based
on
this
development?
Do
we
know
that.
J
I'm
sure
Commissioner
I'll,
let
one
of
our
engineering
staff
answer
that
question
in
more
detail
but
yeah.
Obviously
the
the
stormwater
management
plan
has
been
as
a
component
of
their
application
and
one
of
the
reasons
they
need
that
access
road
to
the
south
is
to
maintain
an
existing
stormwater
facility.
J
That
was
was
built
to
serve
the
entire
site
and
so
a
lot
of
the
analysis
they
did
was
infiltration
analysis
to
ensure
that
not
only
going
to
meet
the
city
requirements,
but
that
it
was
just
overall
adequate
for
the
amount
of
stormwater
that
they
would
need
to.
Sir
need
to
retain
on-site,
but
in
more
technical
answer,
I
think
mr.
Hansen
or
miss
Lankan
that
our
answer.
The
question.
G
Yeah
good
evening,
ma'am,
chair
commissioners,
this
is
Brian
hands,
&
development
coordinator
with
the
City
of
Burlington
engineering
and
yeah.
We
have
been
working
with
the
applicant
on
the
stormwater
component
for
this
and
done
some
analysis.
I'm
working
with
them
on
mister
Centenario,
mentioned
utilizing
that
existing
basin
in
that
Almonte
area
and
based
on
the
information
that
we've
received
so
far
and
reviewed.
G
They
do
seem
to
be
in
compliance
with
our
surface
stormwater
management
policies
and
we
all
do
to
work
with
them
to
ensure
that
is
the
case
as
they
move
forward
with
the
right
application.
But
we've
had
extensive
conversations
with
the
design
team
with
their
engineers,
and
we
are
comfortable
that
they
will
be
able
to
meet
our
stormwater
management
requirements
for
this
site.
Thank.
K
I'll
be
real
brief
and
then
came
up
for
questions
afterwards,
but
say
a
few
words
wanted
to
thank
the
staff
for
being
so
collaborative
with
us,
namely
a
Mike
and
Brian
great
to
work
with
we've
been
working
on
this
project
in
different
renditions
over
the
course
of
last
I.
Suppose
it's
been
almost
two
years
now
hasn't
guessed,
and
this
is
where
at
really
excited
about
we've
owned
this
site.
The
the
ownership
of
Crowne
Plaza
hotel
for
five
or
six
years
now
work
with
the
staff
over
there
coming
up
with.
K
What's
in
front
of
you
today
over
the
course,
the
last
couple
of
years
as
you're
all
well
aware,
it's
one
of
the
last
three
meet
great
development
sites
in
Bloomington
along
this
corridor,
and
we
think
the
work
that
we
put
in
along
with
our
team
on
our
side
is
really
I.
Guess,
captured
those
great
river
views
and,
what's
everything
that
there
is
the
capture
on
this
site,
we
think
we've
done
a
really
good
job
of
kind
of
honoring.
K
The
fact
that
there's
one
of
the
last
few
great
development
sites
for
this
sort
of
thing
implemented
and
so
I
want
to
express
our
seven
we're
here
to
see
it
come
to
fruition
and
just
a
happy
to
a
beer
today,
and
thank
you
for
the
time
we'll
open
ourselves
up
for
any
questions.
I
think
we
have
architectural
engineering
and
our
code
above
and
partner
Mike
Walter
with
the
Ron
Clark
construction
on
the
line
as
well.
A
L
This
Mike
Waldo
with
Ron
Clark
construction,
I,
think
Carl
will
ask
that
one
on
to
me.
Normally
one
of
the
things
we've,
we
do
quite
a
bit
of
work
in
both
the
affordable
housing
side
in
the
market
rate
side
and
when
you
look
at
a
site
like
this,
where
you
have
such
an
expense
to
try
and
build
the
market
rate
side
to
make
it
work
within
the
component
and
to
get
the
rest,
you
need
there
as
you
start
to
mix
more
affordable
in
you
make
that
very
difficult.
L
L
If
it's
a
hundred
percent
affordable,
they
don't
have
to
you
know
normally,
if
you
continue
to
income,
continues
to
grow
you're
out
of
there
at
a
certain
point
after
you,
your
incomes
of
raise
to
120
or
hundred
forty
percent
of
the
median,
and
so
we
find
that
the
stability
of
those
apartments
having
fordable
on
the
other.
Six
that
we
have
is
a
very
strong
thing:
people
truly
make
it
their
home
instead
of
a
just
a
temporary
location
again,
but
about
ten
percent
of
the
people.
L
We
see
buy
houses
in
the
community
within
the
first
two
to
three
years,
so
we're
seeing
a
low
turnover
overall,
but
when
people
turnover
they
tend
to
be,
have
put
away
some
money
and
saved
some
money
because
they're
not
paying
fifty
sixty
percent
of
their
incomes
anymore,
and
so
it's
worked
well
and-
and
so
we
think
the
the
shared
outside
amenities,
the
shared
location
that
I
don't
really
feel
it's
much
segregated.
I.
Think
the
two
projects
together
stand
alone,
make
a
much
better
whole
than
if
we
tried
to
merge
everything.
L
In
our
work
with
Steven
Scott
management,
who
will
be
managing
it,
it
was
really
they
it
was.
You
could
have
made
some
oversized
twos,
but
a
lot
of
cases.
You
know
you'll
have
people.
Families
in
transition
that'll
want
a
place
to
stay
for
a
couple
years
as
they're
coming
into
a
community
deciding
what
they
want
to
do.
I
think
it
would
be
more
of
a
younger
kid
scenario.
We
don't
expect.
You
know
a
lot
from
a
family
perspective,
more
of
a
younger
family
person
with
the
kids.
L
D
Thanks,
madam
chair,
my
question
is
actually
a
follow-up
to
the
conversation
about
children.
Can
we
go
to
the
slide
with
the
plaza,
so
one
of
the
questions
I
have
is
really
about
safe
places
for
those
children
to
play,
and
the
plaza
I
think
is
great.
But
what
type
of
amenities
are
you
planning
to
put
in
there
for
those
younger
children
that
would
be
in
those
type
of
units?
If.
L
L
We've
got
potential
hot
tub,
we've
got
a
little
area
that
might
be
a
putting
green.
We've
got
areas
to
to
grill
so
from
a
play
area
there
we
think
they'll
be
a
lot
of
things
for
them
to
do.
We
don't
technically,
have
a
full
play
structure
but
we're
seeing
less
and
less
those
it's
much
more
of
organic
larrya's.
Now,
with
the
true
green
spaces,
we
can
do
kind
of
multi-purpose
that,
based
on
the
tenant,
need
versus
trying
to
redetermination
of
time
without
knowing
the
tenants.
K
In
the
but
I
would
like
to
note
that,
based
on
the
previous
lease
up
at
the
end
ago
and
the
current
lease
up
of
the
family,
the
South
Loop
district
itself
in
the
demand
patterns
for
the
different
styles
of
unit
is
asking
much
more
urban
in
its
tenant
makeup
than
it
is
suburban.
And
so,
while
Bloomington
is
a
whole
leases
up
more.
G
K
A
suburban
market,
you'll
notice,
with
our
unit
mix
here
we're
intending
and
expecting,
based
on
those
that
have
gone
before
us,
that
this
is
gonna,
have
more
of
an
urban
make
up
once
again,
millenials
younger
families
with
younger
kid.
It's
kind
of
a
jumping
off
one
on
their
way,
perhaps
out
of
out
of
the
downtown's
into
the
suburbs
that
set
up
and
have
a
family
make
a
family,
larger
family.
But
again
the
way
the
other
two
are
asking
we're
not
expecting
large
large
families.
F
L
F
B
A
M
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Kyle
gross.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
the
Commission.
This
is
my
first
meeting
jumping
in
with
one
of
these,
so
I'm
really
enjoying
everything
so
far,
I
do
live
in
the
indigo
apartments,
currently
over
at
8
101
on
33rd,
so
I
had
a
few
things.
I
wanted
to
comment
on
just
from
a
perspective
of
someone
who's
living
in
these
apartments
and
someone
who
would
like
to
stay
in
the
area
so
number
one,
and
this
I
guess
the
more
of
a
comment
or
question.
M
A
I
guess
sorry:
I
should
have
explained
a
bit
more
about
the
couple
of
public
comment
period,
so
you're
free
to
voice
questions.
However,
it's
not
meant
like
a
Q&A,
so
if
you
have
questions
you
can
voice
them
and
then
the
commissioners
at
the
end,
if
they
believe
there
are
issues
that
you
need
to
be
followed
up
on
with
either
the
applicant
or
staff,
they
will
go
ahead
and
address
those
questions.
A
Well,
you're
free
to
voice
whatever
questions
you
have
and
then,
basically
this
is
a
public
hearing,
and
so
we
have
certain
findings.
We
have
to
make
to
reach
a
determination,
so
if
we
feel
that
those
are
important
to
reaching
the
findings
or
if
we
feel
they
need
to
be
followed
up
on,
the
commissioners
can
go
ahead
and
ask
those
after
the
public
comment
period.
A
M
So
my
question
is:
do
any
of
these
units
have
plans
for
operable
windows
to
be
opened
up,
I'm
currently
in
the
ANU
apartment?
Indigo
apartments?
The
only
thing
we
have
is
our
balcony
window
and
I
gotta
say
it
gets
pretty
stuffy
in
here,
even
if
I
open
the
window
or
open
the
balcony
door,
all
the
way,
there's
not
really
a
good
way
to
cycle
air
flow
through,
because
all
of
the
windows
are
closed.
M
I
understand
that
we're
in
a
part
of
town
where
things
are
allowed,
the
airport's
right
next
door,
the
trains
go
honk
honk
all
the
time.
However,
it
is
my
understanding
that,
just
because
you
have
a
really
nice
double
pane
window,
that's
gonna
do
a
great
job
for
sound
reduction
and
for
the
people
who
do
want
fresh
air
in
the
apartments
opening.
That
window
is
not
gonna
significantly
or
that's
their
choice
to
make.
M
But
when
that
window
is
closed,
the
sound
performance
of
having
that
multi
pane
window
is
going
to
be
similar,
if
not
100%
as
a
fully
sealed
apartment.
So
that
is
one
comment
that
I'd
like
to
pass
off
to
the
architecture
and
mechanical
team
or
that
question
whether
or
not
that
is
in
the
works
or
on
the
plan
set
for
the
project.
M
Another
question
that
I
have
for
the
applicants
is:
what
are
the
plans
for
bike
storage
based
off
the
first
item
from
our
meeting
today
we
were
discussing
some,
you
know
reducing
our
reliance
on
car
culture
in
this
part
of
town.
There
is
a
lot
of
public
transit.
There
are
a
lot
of
trails
at
the
Indigo
apartment.
There
is
a
dedicated
sick.
M
Your
key
fob
access
for
bike
storage-
that
is
an
amazing
amenity
and
I'm,
really
happy
that
it's
here
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
continue
if
it
were
planned
as
part
of
either
of
these,
so
that
we've
got
a
question.
What
is
what
is
the
plan
for
storing
a
large
number
of
bikes
for
the
tenants
or
their
guests
in
in
these
new
units,
either
phase
one
or
phase
two
thank.
A
M
For
Phase
two,
there
was
a
comment
earlier
for.
If
these
two
gets
delayed,
increasing
pedestrian
access
up
from
the
road
from
the
current
surface
parking
lot
down
on
the
south
end
of
the
site,
are
there
any
plans
or
I
suppose?
Is
it
practical
or
legal
whatever
to
get
pedestrian
access
connected
through
the
current
condominium
complex
at
eight
one-to-one,
34th
Avenue
South,
basically
allowing
people
to
make
a
pedestrian
loop
from
the
east
side
or
from
the
current
project
property
south
up
through
into
the
Appletree
square
business
area.
M
I
also
do
work
over
in
that
area
and
then
come
around
the
Crowne
Plaza,
either
through
the
Applegate
Square
or
around
on
American
sorry,
34th
Avenue.
Are
there
any
plans
to
connect
that
all
the
way
through?
Is
that
possible?
Is
that
feasible
that
as
a
neighborhood
resident,
that
is
a
walk
that
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
take
through
assuming
we
have
some
sort
of
easement
or
or
the
ability
to
make
that
through
I
know
the
grade
is
really
steep
in
the
southeast
corner
of
the
proposed
phase
2
area?
M
So
the
the
oil
down
question
is:
is
it
possible
or
are
there
plans
to
get
pedestrian
access
around
the
south
end
of
that
site
into
the
existing
developed
area?
I
do
have
a
comment
related
to
parking,
so
I'm
in
the
indigo
complex
I
do
have
a
car
I
do
park.
There
would
like
to
go
car
free
eventually,
but
I
would
say.
The
internal
parking
structure
has
parking
floors
all
the
way
up,
including
a
seventh
floor,
which
is
currently
the
roof
access
floors.
Two
through
six
are
pretty
much
always
at
ninety
percent
capacity.
M
We
do
have
a
parking
structure
and
spaces
on
4/7
that
is
almost
always
empty.
I,
never
see
anybody
up
there,
so
I
would
agree
that
having
less
than
one
parking
stall
per
unit
throughout
the
whole
complex.
That
is
tracking,
with
my
user
experience
over
here
at
the
Indigo
complex
and
then
as
another
comment
on
on
the
the
living
patterns
and
whether
we're
looking
for
an
urban
market
or
a
suburban
market
27.7
a
year
29.
So
that
would
put
me
solved
in
the
millennial
category
I.
M
Don't
necessarily
have
plans
for
making
a
family
in
the
near
future,
but
I
also
don't
have
plans
for
moving
out
to
the
suburbs
if
I
were
to
get
into
a
family
situation.
I
want
to
live
in
an
urban
environment
or
I
want
to
live
out
in
the
sticks
being
here
in
the
Twin
Cities
living
in
the
Indigo
apartments,
having
access
to
public
transportation
and
a
safe
place
to
store
my
bike.
M
That's
not
out
on
the
street
are
all
really
important
to
me,
but
I
want
to
have
an
ability
to
continue
that
lifestyle,
even
if
I
do
have
a
family-
and
you
know
after
my
kids
grow
up
past
three
four
years
old.
What
are
we
gonna
do
with
the
elementary
school
kids?
What
are
we
gonna
do
with
the
teenagers
I
understand
why
the
common
spaces
are
back
behind
the
wall.
M
A
M
B
M
K
A
K
Yes,
of
course,
yes,
bike
storage.
At
this
point,
we
have
dedicated
233
here
by
swords
box
in
the
basement,
plus
a
repair
area
and
then
there's
ten
outside
for
the
market
rate
bills.
So
we
have
a
pretty
significant
number
of
essentially
one
to
one
for
our
unit
count.
So
I
appreciate,
said
mr.
groves
to
bring
that
up
and.
G
K
K
Obviously,
the
growing
use
of
services
such
as
who
were
left
yeah
we'd
love
to
see
this
garage
not
sit
at
a
hundred
percent
capacity,
although
true
good
for
everyone
out
here,
good
for
the
environment
and
so
we're
set
up,
233,
secure
bike,
storage
locations,
the
basement,
plus
repair
area
and
an
outside.
Thank.
A
J
And
I
think
I
understood
the
guests
comments
to
be
essentially
that
mastering
connectivity
through
the
development
isn't
the
greatest.
You
know
specifically
related
to
the
condo
development.
You
know
that
the
applicants
don't
have
sight
control
of
that
development,
so
they
they
would
not
be
able
to
make
pedestrian
improvements
on
that
site.
We
also
have,
of
course,
the
bluff
to
contend
with
so
having
you
know,
sidewalks
or
pedestrian
access
to
the
south
of
these
buildings,
probably
is
not
an
option
now.
J
J
There
would
be
a
direct
sidewalk
connection
between
American
Boulevard,
East
and
the
main
entrance,
and,
given
the
comments
that
we
had,
there
would
be
a
connection
between
the
market
rate
building
and
the
either
the
surface
parking
for
phase
one
or
as
part
of
Phase,
two,
the
pedestrian
connection
for
access
to
the
parking
structure.
So
for
this
for
this
development,
the
pedestrian
access
is
a
significant
improvement.
We'd
have
to
research
in
more
depth
other
connections
within
the
development
and
see
what
what
improvements
could
be
made
there
and
if
the
applicants
willing
to
engage
in
that
discussion.
J
B
A
I
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Like
the
proposal
that's
before
us,
it's
utilizing
some
of
the
existing
or
the
existing
underutilized
parking.
That's
out
in
the
South
Loop
I
think
the
the
development
is
doing
a
nice
job
of
kind
of
fitting
in
to
the
surroundings
where
it
can
pinch
between
the
bluff
and
Road
and
other
development
and,
while
I
think
there's
a
need
for
more
public
space
out
there,
as
even
mr
Groves
had
brought
up
during
the
hearing.
F
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I,
too,
can
support
this
project.
I
appreciate
all
of
the
work
that
the
staff
has
done
regarding
the
bluff
standards
and
making
it
a
much
smoother
transition
to
go
through
that
process
for
the
applicant
I
also
just
wanted
to
mention
that
as
well
as
I
think
this
is
a
great
upgrade
to
the
land,
use
existing
land
use
and
be
great
for
more
more
folks
to
live
here.
Public
transit,
so
I'm
in
support
Commissioner.
D
Thanks,
madam
chair,
just
two
comments
here
is
I.
Think
the
project
overall
is
great
and
I
agree
with
Commissioner
Albrecht
that
it's
a
good
use
of
the
land
and
obviously
on
turning
a
surface
parking
lot
into
something
that
is
developed
in
in
places
for
new
residents
to
come
in
and
live
is
great.
I
did
like
the
the
Plaza
area,
one
in
one
area
that
I'm
a
little
bit
disappointed
just
play
area
I'm
interested
to
see
what
type
of
organic
play
areas
could
exist.
Concern
about
the
Phase
two.
D
However,
there
really
won't
be
any
outside
places
other
than
that
public
plaza
for
children
to
play
and
I
think
in
those
units,
especially
there.
There
will
be
families
and
walk
so
again.
I'm
supportive,
but
I'd
like
to
see
a
little
bit
more
area
for
play
for
those
children's
for
safe
areas
for
them,
and
then
the
other
thing
I
just
want
to
comment
on
is
I
really
appreciate
the
city.
D
Looking
at
more
flexible
parking
arrangements,
a
lot
of
times
we
talk
about,
you
know
deviations
and
and
I
think
having
the
shared
parking
structure
being
used
by
two
different
uses
office
during
the
day
and
presidents
by
night
is
a
nice
way
to
be
creative
and
and
and
flexible.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I'm
in
support
of
the
proposal
as
it
stands,
thanks
Commissioner
Korman.
N
Thank
you,
my
chair,
I'm,
also
in
support
of
these
application.
I
really
like
seeing
how
to
continue
to
work
in
this
area
in
a
part
of
the
development
I
also
have
to
agree
with
Commissioner
Goldsman
and
on
the
Placer
part
and
there
and
then
I
would
use
the
same
word.
Disappointment,
I
I,
do
feel
disappointed
as
well.
Finding
out
that
there's
not
like
additional
opportunities
for
attracting
more
families.
N
I
know
I,
understand
that,
probably
we're
not
looking
into
large
families,
but
if,
even
if
he
was
just
a
young
member
of
a
family,
whether
it's
a
teenager
or
it's,
a
small
child
I
think
is
important
to
have
to
have
an
area
for
recreation,
especially
during
the
warmer
months
of
the
year.
We
have
talked
for
so
long
about
the
need
of
attracting
more
young
families,
younger
families
into
Bloomington
that
I
just
get
concerned
that
maybe
we're
missing
an
opportunity
here
by
not
having
additional
amenities
outside
amenities
for
the
kids.
N
It
is
possible
that
some
people-
probably
not
looking
to
being
in
one
of
those
in
those
apartments
in
one
of
those
places
if
they
don't
find
that
they
they
don't
have
even
a
playground
if
they're
a
young
family
with
a
a
child.
It's
considering
so
that
takes
away
the
future
opportunity
to
for
a
family.
That's
growing
to
stay
in
Bloomington
to
really
have
that
time
and
that
opportunity
to
get
to
know
the
city
more
and
to
live
in.
That
area.
N
I
get
to
know
our
city
to
fall
in
love
with
the
city
and
to
create
that
sense
of
belonging,
and
then
they
can
stay
with
us
and
you
know
later
on,
moving
into
a
bigger
place.
So
just
but
overall
I'm
I
mean
complete
agreement
with
that
or
support
of
it,
but
yeah
definitely
like
to
have
seen
more
opportunities.
Other
families.
O
And
there
is
a
benefit:
I,
don't
think
condition
is
needed
long
as
the
applicants.
Listening
probably
their
benefit
to
have
an
analysis
done
or
a
study
done.
I
hate
to
have
this
project
slowed
down
because
of
did
not
take
a
look
at
the
potential
of
impacts
of
burials
and
then
shutting
down
a
fraud.
You're
gonna
tell
something's
corrected
during
the
construction
period,
so
I
just
want
to
repeat
that
comment:
Commissioner
Roman.
Thank
you.
H
You,
madam
chair,
echoing
all
the
comments
that
have
been
made
over
all
the
project,
because
you
know
a
strong
candidate
and
I
also
appreciated
mr.
Schmidt
from
the
Port
Authority,
and
you
know
it's
talked
about
the
recently
we
had
the
question
with
Charlie
parking
and
a
portable
and
I
was
glad
to
see
that
that
note
was
made
in
there
that
we
do
expect
that
horrible
use
and
access
to
parking
without
additional
surcharge.
So
no
major
concerns
about
this
project.
A
N
I,
just
I
just
kept
my
hand
out,
but
I
can
read
it.
Okay,
thank
you.
In
case
PL,
2028
III
haven't
been
able
to
make
the
required
findings.
I
moved
to
recommend
City
Council
approval
of
preliminary
development
plans
for
a
320,
a
resident
328
residential
unit,
multi-phase
American
square
plan,
development
and
final
development
plans
for
a
242
unit
apartment
building
at
3701,
American,
Boulevard
East,
subject
to
the
conditions,
including
the
revision
to
PDP
condition.
Number
three
in
code
requirements
attached
to
the
staff
report,

H
A
Albert
I,
and
that
is
an
eye
from
me-
motion-
passes
7-0.
This
will
move
on
to
the
June
22nd
City
Council
meeting,
unless
my
yes,
okay,
all
right
so
then
moving
on
the
final
item
is
just
approval
of
planning.
Meeting
minutes
from
the
May
21st

the
only
Commissioner
I
believe
was
