Description
Bloomington Minnesota Planning Commission Meeting
B
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
april
8
2021
bloomington
planning
commission
meeting,
the
planning
commission
is
made
up
of
seven
volunteer,
bloomington
residents
appointed
by
the
city
council.
The
commission
is
advisory
to
the
council
for
most
items.
The
commission
makes
recommendations
and
the
council
has
final
decision-making
authority.
B
B
Our
first
order
of
business
tonight
is
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
Please
stand
as
you
are
able.
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation,
under
god,
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
over
all
all
right
as
we
are
in
a
hybrid
model
again
tonight.
I
will
call
on
mr
marker
guard
to
give
an
overview
of
the
process.
A
Commissioners,
applicants
and
members
of
the
public
are
all
remote
via
webex
or
telephone,
but
we
can
definitely
take
public
testimony
for
our
two
public
hearings
tonight
and
if
you
would
like
to
speak,
just
put
a
phone
call
in
to
the
number
on
the
screen
1-888-742-5095
and
once
you're
on
that
line.
Just
in
enter
conference
code,
eight
four,
six,
one:
zero,
zero
one:
zero,
nine,
eight
and
we'll
have
this.
These
numbers
scrolling
across
the
screen
throughout
the
public
hearing
items
tonight.
B
A
Yes,
mr
chairman,
let
me
add
ms
henderson
as
a
panelist,
just
a
second.
A
A
So
this
is
now
her
fourth
week
and
as
cd
director
ms
henderson
oversees
seven
divisions
in
the
city.
Those
divisions
include
planning,
housing
and
redevelopment,
the
port
authority,
special
projects
and
initiatives,
environmental,
health
building
and
inspections
and
the
assessing
division.
So
I
believe
that's
around
80
people,
plus
or
minus
so
miss
henderson
is
joining
us
from
michigan,
where
she
has
extensive
experience
in
government
and
also
experience
with
non-profits
and
in
a
leadership
roles
as
a
consultant
as
well.
A
C
Well,
thank
you,
chair
chairman
and
members
of
the
planning
commission.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
okay,
okay,
this!
This
is
obviously
our
new
world,
so
I,
like
glenn,
said
I
come
via
the
state
of
michigan.
Most
recently,
I've
lived
the
majority
of
my
life
in
detroit
michigan,
but
have
worked
in
a
number
of
cities
that
are
very
diverse.
Highland
park
was
like
my
first
job.
C
Highland
park
is
surrounded
by
the
city
of
detroit,
a
population
about
ten
thousand
two
point
nine
square
miles
and
from
I
worked
there
for
five
years
left
there
to
go
to
the
city
of
ann
arbor,
which
is
home
to.
I
know
you
guys
call
u
of
m
university
of
minnesota.
We
call
u
of
m
university
of
michigan.
So
when
I
hear
it,
I
go
michigan
and
they
go
no
carla.
So
I'm
adjusting
to
that.
So
so
I
worked
in
ann
arbor
for
almost
nine
years
and
was
promoted
three
times
during
my
tenure.
C
But
something
was
kind
of
nagging
at
me
and
I
really
felt
like
I
needed
to
come
home
back
to
detroit
and
ended
up
working
for
the
city
of
detroit
under
mayor
dave,
bing
from
2009
to
2013
started
as
his
building
director
and
then
was
promoted
to
a
group
executive
of
planning
and
facilities
left.
C
There
worked
at
a
couple
of
non-profits
and
then
about
three
years
ago,
did
some
consulting
work,
working
for
pontiac,
michigan,
gary
indiana
and
a
couple
of
other
non-profits
and
then
covet
hit
and
last
year's
was
sitting
at
home
and
decided
you
know.
Maybe
this
is
a
time
that
I
make
a
change
in
my
life
that
you
know.
One
thing
we
have
learned
through
covet
is
that
people
and
time
are
most
important
resources
and
you
really
can't
put
off
tomorrow
what
you
thought
you
could
do
today.
C
So
I
was
sitting
at
home
mid
january
and
saw
the
position
come
across
my
computer
and
I
thought
well
wow.
That
sounds
very
interesting.
I
told
heather
worthington,
like
the
posting
really
spoke
to
me,
and
so
I
sent
my
resume
and
cover
letter
in
and
then
went
through
this
extensive
process
that
I
joke
with
jamie
the
city
manager
about
like
they.
They
really
made
sure
that
you
know
all
the
boxes
were
checked
and
very
honored
when
I
got
the
call
in
the
job
offer.
C
So
it
is
like
glenn
said
it's
week,
four,
and
I
am
right
now
in
a
very
sparsely
equipped
apartment
at
the
luxembourg,
where
I'm
moving.
My
furniture
will
not
come
for
a
couple
of
weeks,
so
it's
been
air
mattresses
and
been
roughing
it
a
little
bit
but
but
I'll
get
through
it.
So
I
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
to
meet
all
of
you
and
if
you
have
any
questions
for
me,
I'd
be
happy
to
entertain
any
questions.
D
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
welcome
you
to
minnesota,
and
hopefully
you
you're
moving
here
at
a
nice
time
of
the
year
and
you'll
enjoy
the
winters
as
much
as
we
do.
C
E
Thank
you
chair.
I
think
thank
you
for
joining
us
director
and
I
just
wanted
to
say,
congratulations
and
welcome
to
minnesota
and
I
look
forward
to
emma
you
know
we're
all
our
bloomington
residents.
So
I
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
the
great
work
coming
from
your
department.
C
Well,
thank
you.
I
am,
I
really
am
humbled
to
to
be
here
and
what
a
great
community
changing
lots
of
changes
on
the
horizon
and
yeah,
I'm
just
honored.
Quite
frankly,
so
thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
I'm
so
sorry
that
I
missed
the
first
part
of
your
introduction.
I
had
connection
issues,
but
I
am
so
excited.
You
know
that
we're
we
have
you
here
now
working
with
us
in
bloomington,
so
it's
so
nice
to
meet
you
so
welcome.
C
Thank
you.
It's
nice
to
meet
you
as
well
yeah
it's
this
is.
This
is
a
new
journey
for
me
and
that's
how
I've
always
lived
my
life
and
my
career,
and
I'm
really
really
thankful
for
this
opportunity.
G
We
are
different
than
the
other
suburbs
of
minneapolis
and
st
paul,
and
I
hope
we
stay
that
way,
that
we
are
not
afraid
of
things
that
we
do
things
differently,
that
we
maybe
take
risks
in
the
right
way
and
that
we
are
a
differentiating
city
and
not
just
another,
vanilla
suburb,
and
I
ask
you
in
your
readership
to
continue
that
forward.
Please.
C
My
first
interview
panel
was
with
jamie
and
chris
and
faith
and
heather
and
the
pride
about
you
know
we
have
the
number
one
tourist
attraction
in
the
state.
We
the
hotel,
the
hospitality
industry,
the
parks,
the
trails
and
the
more
I
did
research.
I
really
I
that
was
so
true
and
and
then
I
realized,
like
we
hear
a
lot
in
you
know
outside
of
this
region,
about
the
twin
cities,
but
really
bloomington
is
driving
the
state
of
minnesota
and
very
proud
to
be
part
of
that
team.
So
I
appreciate
your
comments.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
do
want
to
just
welcome
you,
director,
henderson
big
fan
of
heather
worthington's,
so
excited
to
hear
that
she
was
part
of
the
process,
and
so
I'm
I'm
happy
that
she
made
a
great
selection.
Welcome.
C
Thank
you
for
that
heather.
She
told
me
later
after
I
accepted
the
job
that
she
had
said
that
she
couldn't
take
credit
for
my
hire
because
I
had
applied
and
I
told
her
she
said,
but
I,
if
I
was
going
to
recruit
somebody,
it
would
be
somebody
just
like
you
and
I
said
no
heather.
You
should
take
credit
because
you
wrote
that
job
description
and
it
really
pulled
at
me
like
just
what
you
were
looking
for
and
I
really
felt
like
I
could
bring
some
value
to
the
team.
B
Oh,
I
will
wrap
the
rounds
director
henderson
with
my
welcome
and
and
enthusiastic
I'm
looking
forward
to
your
time
here
at
leading
the
community
development
division.
I
think
your
skills
and
talents
will
complement
all
of
the
skills
and
talents
we
have
in
our
very
talented
staff
and
having
come
here
from
the
west
side
of
michigan.
I
will
give
you
a
little
grace
for
coming
from
the
east
side,
but
know
that
it's
easy
to
make
a
successful
transition
and
stay
here
for
a
long
time,
and
we
hope
that
you
do.
C
Well,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
am.
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
have
found
that
this
is
a
stellar
team,
just
my
four
weeks
here,
getting
to
know
the
the
staff
and
really
I
view
my
role
as
one
to
be
an
advocate
for
them
to
uplift
their
work
to
get
them
the
resources
that
they
need
and
kind
of
pull
the
whole
team
together.
So
I'm
super
excited
and
thank
you
for
your
all
of
you
for
your
welcome.
B
Thank
you.
We
look
forward
to
our
time
together
in
the
future.
Thank
you
all
right.
Moving
on
to
item
number
two
item
number
two
is
a
request
for
redevelopment
in
the
south
loop
and
I'll
start
with
commissioner
cookton.
B
Thank
you.
That
is
noted.
I
will
begin
with
the
staff
report
and
on
this
one
I
think
we
have
mr
marker
guard,
who
do
we
have
for
the
staff
report
on
this
one.
A
Yeah
mr
chair,
we
have
mike
centenario
and
webex,
is
giving
me
a
little
bit
of
difficulty,
making
him
a
panelist
for
some
reason.
Oh
let
me
keep
trying
here.
I
I
think
my
things
are
moving
a
little
slow
tonight.
I
You,
okay,
great,
thank
you.
So
the
next
item
on
your
agenda
is
for
a
redevelopment
project.
That's
been
in
the
works
for
a
little
while
now
a
couple
years
since
I've
been
involved
with
it,
but
it's
for
sick
technologies,
a
tech
company
that
produces
sensor.
I
Shoot
and
overlay
zoning
district
so
that
all
of
the
parcels
within
this
plan
development
are
under
the
same
zoning
regime.
They
have
because
this
is
a
multi-phase
plan
development.
We
have
a
very
detailed
preliminary
development
plan
or
master
plan.
If
you
want
to
think
of
it.
That
way,
we
often
refer
to
that
as
the
pdp
and
that's
essentially
what
they
envision
for
the
build
out
of
this
technology.
I
Campus
they're
seeking
approval
for
a
final
development
plan
for
phase
of
that
campus,
which
we'll
go
into
more
detail
in
a
bit
and
what's
pretty
common,
is
that
the
there
they
need
to
read,
make
some
adjustments
and
and
change
some
property
boundaries
to
accommodate
what
they're
proposing
for
their
phasing
and
with
that
because
of
the
planning
and
the
nature
of
our
city
code,
they're,
seeking
a
variance
to
defer
park
dedication
for
future
phases,
not
an
elimination
of
park,
dedication
fees,
but
just
deferring
fees
until
the
future.
I
I
So,
looking
at
the
existing
conditions
on
site,
I
have
the
the
site
outlined
in
red
and
then
you'll
see
various
components
or
geographic
features.
It's
important
note
that
this
site
is
flanked
by
five
hotels,
so
hotel
development
has
been
very
robust
in
the
past
number
of
years.
The
city
or
the
more
specifically
the
port
authority,
acquired
this
this
property
number
of
years
ago.
I
I
was
a
property
manager
for
some
office
and
warehouse
tenants
for
a
few
years,
but
then
ultimately
demolished
all
the
buildings
and
did
some.
There
was
some
cleanup
environmental
cleanup
that
had
to
take
place.
So
this
is
this:
is
a
vacant
property?
It's
really
important
to
note
that
just
the
proximity
to
light
rail
transit.
So
if
you
can
see
in
the
lower
right
hand
side
of
your
screen,
this
is
a
block
away
from
lrt
in
addition
to
the
metro
park
and
ride.
I
I
Guy
plan
identifies
this
as
linda
came
from
lindale
avenue,
of
course,
and
then
the
base
zoning
district
for
all
these
parcels
is
also
lindau
mixed
use.
So
the
applicant
is
not
seeking
a
change
to
the
the
base
zoning
district,
but
rather
so
all
the
parcels
are
under
the
planned
development
overlay
to
bring
that
all
under
a
pd
zoning.
I
This
site
is
also
highly
influenced
by
the
airport,
and
so
what
I
have
on
screen
is
the
different
safety
zones
associated
with
msp,
and
you
can
see
the
red
on
the
top
of
the
screen.
That's
the
runway,
protection
zone
or
rpz
development
is
pretty
much
prohibited
in
that
red
area.
I
So
that's
why
the
land
to
the
north
metropolitan
airports,
commission
acquired
those
properties,
and
now
it's
it's
an
open
field,
but
the
yellow
is,
you
know
the
slightly
less
restrictive
airport
zoning
district
or
safety
zone
rather,
but
for
one
one
of
the
uses
that
is
prohibited
is
residential
uses.
I
I
I
It's
also
limited,
to
some
degree,
is
building
height,
so
I
have
the
safety
zones
and
then
the
the
permitted
building
heights
or
elevations
above
that,
so
the
the
the
elevation
on
the
ground
is
about
8,
15
to
or
8
10.,
so
really
functionally
speaking
you're
on
this
site,
you're
limited
to
about
a
five,
maybe
six
story,
building
so
still
significant
in
development,
but
a
tower
or
a
high-rise
is
not
going
to
be
permitted.
This
close
to
the
airport.
I
I
Okay,
gosh.
That
is
really
frustrating
sorry
about
that
everyone
phase
one
is
a
mix
of
logistics,
production
and
office
about
144,
000
square
feet
or
140
000
square
feet
you
can
see.
Phase
one
is,
would
be,
would
accommodate
parking
via
surface
parking
and
would
develop
the
northern
portion
of
this
entire
plant
development,
and
this
is
what
they're
seeking
for
a
final
development
plan
approval
in
phase
2.
We
see
in
green.
We
see
a
four-story
office
building
that
fills
out
the
lindell
lane
and
28th
avenue
corner
and
they
instead
of
surface
parking.
I
I
One
of
the
deviations
that
they're
seeking
for
this
development
is
related
to
floor
area
ratio,
which
is
one
way
to
measure
density.
Not
the
only
way,
but
it
is.
It
is
a
way
to
measure
density
and
you
can
see
the
under
one
of
the
columns,
the
total
floor
area,
the
site,
the
accompanying
site
area,
and
then
what
that
floor
area
ratio
is,
and
so,
when
we
look
at
the
entire
build
out,
they
exceed
the
0.7
floor
area
ratio
requirement
in
this
district.
I
So
generally
we're
we're.
We
are
comfortable
with
this
approach,
given
that
it
is
a
multi-phase
development
and
when
we're
dealing
with
a
development
that
is,
in
this
case,
almost
500
000
square
feet.
We
acknowledge
that
that's
more
than
likely
not
going
to
happen
in
the
in
one
or
two
phases,
and
so
the
full
build
out
exceeds
the
requirement,
but
we're
supportive
of
the
flexibility
to
allow
slightly
less
floor
area
ratios
for
those
those
faces.
A
I
Back,
okay,
I'll,
try
and
be
brief,
and
then
maybe
I'll,
try
and
call
in
so
we
don't
have
to
keep
dealing
with
this,
but
the
ftp
shows
surface
parking
along
with
some
proof
of
parking.
If
you
can
see
that
on
the
north
side
of
the
site.
I
I
So
in
order
to
make
room
for
the
not
encroaching
the
easement
but
then
also
allow
for
foundation
footings,
they
had
to
set
back
the
building
22
feet.
So
you
can
see
this
area
in
yellow,
that's
an
is
it
an
easement
that
cannot
be
encroached
upon,
so
this
is
kind
of
like
a
a
deviation
by
requirement
where
they
have
to
make
sure
that
there
aren't
structures
within
that
eastman.
I
For
the
landscaping
plan
you
know
again,
this
is
a
multi-phase
development.
So
what
they're
trying
to
do
here
is
to
plant
trees
and
shrubs
where
to
try
and
minimize
where
they
have
to
be
removed
in
the
future.
So
the
applicant
team
really
took
advantage
of
our
perennial
and
grasses
allowance
where
you
can,
instead
of
having
all
the
shrubs
that
you'd
normally
be
required,
you
can
replace
a
proportion
of
that
with
grasses
and
perennials
and
they've
done
that,
but
they've
also
planted
trees
in
areas
that,
especially
along
the
south
side
of
the
building.
I
If
you
can
see
my
cursor,
where
that
would
remain
open
space,
and
so
they
are
meeting
the
the
planting
requirements
as
well
as
the
the
standard
quorums
that
we
have
with
a
tree
and
every
parking
island
and
such.
I
One
more
a
bit
of
flexibility
that
they're
seeking
for
exterior
materials
and
on
the
screen.
I
have
you,
know
an
industrial
building
here
in
bloomington,
that's
comprised
of
precast
concrete
and
nothing
wrong
with
this
building.
It
serves
its
purpose.
It's
a
perfectly
good,
looking
property,
but
generally
speaking,
precast
concrete
building
is
not
permitted
as
a
primary
material
in
our
commercial
districts
and
the
technology.
The
southwest
district
is
full
of
these
commercial
districts,
so
what
they
are
seeking
is
a
mix
of
precast,
concrete
and
glass,
and
we
are
supportive
of
this
deviation.
I
Further
future
phases,
like
phase
two,
for
example,
for
the
office
building,
is,
is
almost
entirely
a
glass
facade,
so
the
proportion
of
transparency
which
is
a
requirement
the
desire
to
have
really
high
quality
striking
buildings,
we
think,
will
be
met
or
exceeded
with
future
phases.
So,
overall,
we're.
We
think
it's
a
really
good
use
of
durable
materials
and
we're
supportive
of
the
the
exterior
pallet
that
they're
proposing
to
touch
on
parking
for
figures
one.
I
They
are
meeting
the
parking
requirement
between
the
surface
parking
that
I
mentioned,
as
well
as
the
proof
of
parking.
When
we
look
at
the
full
build
out,
they
would
seek
a
slight
a
small
deviation,
and
you
know
this.
This
is
15
20
years
out,
so
with
each
subsequent
phase,
we're
going
to
do
additional
analysis
as
to
whether
or
not
we
think
the
proposed
parking
is
is
appropriate
for
that
particular
phase,
but,
generally
speaking,
they'll
be
able
to
accommodate
sufficient
parking
throughout
their
phasing,
and
that's
really
what
we're
looking
for
is.
I
Can
you
meet
the
future
parking
demand
on
your
site
in
that
case,
that,
of
course,
they
are
able
to
now
the
planning
variants
which
we
don't
see
too
often,
but
the
planning
commission
has
seen
relatively
recently
is
the
way
our
code
is
written,
you're
required
to
collect
park,
dedication
fees
for
the
entire
development
right
away
or
with
the
first
phase
and
and
we're
supportive
of
a
variance
to
that.
I
So
we
are
recommending
approval.
The
there
are
a
number
of
recommended
recommended
motions
for
you
on
two
different
slides.
This
slide
in.
I
So
I,
if
you
can
hear
me
now,
I'm
of
course
available
for
questions
and
I
believe
the
the
applicant
team
is
as
well.
B
Thank
you,
mr
centenario
questions
for.
B
D
What
I'm
looking
at
is
can
can
I
get
a
rough
estimate
of
the
number
of
employees
that
are
expected
to
be
employed
at
this
location,
obviously
under
different
phases,
but
maybe
just
under
phase
one
and
two?
What
is
the
number
of
employee
additions
that
we're
looking
at
bringing
into
the
city.
I
I
Here,
mr
chair
great
question:
it
we
try
and
get
to.
I
Can
you
see
the
airport
safety
zones?
Yes,
okay?
So,
mr
chair,
the
the
areas
where
residential
is
permitted
is
in
the
green,
so
you
can
see
like
a
if,
if
I
had
zoomed
out
more
you'd,
see
more
of
like
a
triangular
shaped
safety
zone
right,
the
red
is,
you
know
pretty
much
all
developments
prohibited,
the
yellow
is
just
highly
restrictive,
but
then
on
the
flanks
of
that
in
the
green
is
where
residential
is
permitted.
I
So,
for
example,
around
bloomington
central
station
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
residential
development
being
proposed
and
built
similarly
to
the
west.
Excuse
me
in
the
mall
of
america,
planned
development.
Residential
is
also
acceptable.
There,
too.
I
Mr
chair,
I
don't
think
it
is.
I
believe
that
the
the
area
in
the
runway
protection
zone
is
is
really
intended
to
be
open
space
for
given
the
the
low-flying
air
airplanes
and
then
actually
in
this
case,
the
area
north
of
american
boulevard
is
fenced
off
and
the
public
cannot
access
it.
That's.
A
Sure,
hey
thank
you
for
entertaining
our
project
appreciate
it.
I
will
mention
that
the
previous
question,
through
the
development
agreement,
we
have
committed
to
154
employees
on
site
for
phase
one
and
then
phase
two
we've
committed
to
just
looking
at
my
numbers
here:
phase
two
we're
projecting
closer
to
about
250
employees
so
other
than
that
again
I'd
be
open
to
questions,
but
I
don't
really
have
anything
else
to
to
comment
on
at
this
time.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Mr
mcginty,
I
have
a
question
related
to
the
transition
between
phase
one
and
two,
given
that
it
is
a
five-year
gap
and
some
of
the
renderings
that
I'm
looking
at
it
looks
like
the
space
the
south
is
going
to
remain
kind
of
a
green
space.
Is
that
your
intention,
or
do
you
have
additional
plans
for
that
space?.
A
Yeah,
thanks
for
the
question
the
so
the
time
period,
between
phase
one
and
phase,
two,
that
green
space
is
still
owned
by
bloomington,
so
that
that
will
remain
a
from
my
discussions
with
the
port
authority
that
will
remain
a
more
of
a
field,
tall
grass
kind
of
application,
our
intent
for
phase
two,
you
know
through
the
development
agreement.
We're
committed
to
completing
the
project
by
2026
will
likely
happen
earlier
than
that.
A
That's
something
I'm
I'm
bringing
to
the
attention
of
our
our
german
leadership
to
to
determine
the
timeline
for
phase
two,
but
likely
it
will
be
earlier
than
2026..
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
the
folks
watching
at
home.
Could
the
applicant
generally
explain
what
the
proposed
use
is
in
this
area
like?
How
would
you
describe
the
activities
proposed
as
part
of
the
site,
development.
A
Sure
so
phase
one
of
the
project
will
consist
largely
of
our
assembly
production,
so
I
would
describe
half
the
the
first
phase
development
as
distribution
and
logistics
and
the
other
half
as
production,
which
is
primarily
assembly
of
sensors
and
then
part
part
of
the
pro
the
phrase
phase.
One
project
is
also
office
space
to
support
the
the
warehouse
production
areas.
A
The
phase
two
portion
of
our
development
is
slated
for
primarily
corporate
office
headquarters.
So
currently
we
have
a.
We
have
a
55
000
square
foot
office
facility
in
west
bloomington.
That
would
we
would
relocate
for
the
phase
two
portion
phase.
Three
is
a:
is
a
production
expansion
so
right
now
we
we're
actually
very
we're
growing
very
rapidly.
So
I
think
that's
good
news
for
everybody
that
that
we
will
need
production
expansion
sooner
than
later
phase.
A
We
will.
We
will
need
stores
and
distribution
space
for
for
expansion
and
then
the
second
part
of
the
phase
four
is
slated
for
office
expansion,
so
corporate
office.
So
really,
that's
you
know,
you
know,
our
german
leadership
is
really
committed
to
this
location
and
and
the
desire
as
as
we've
as
we've.
A
B
All
right
seeing
none,
we
will
move
to
the
public
hearing.
Mr
marker
guard,
can
you
let
us
know
if
we
have
anyone
for
the
public
hearing.
A
Mr
chair,
we
had
nobody
pre-register
on
this
item,
but
let's
check
in
with
mr
pease,
mr
pease,
I
will
unmute
you
now.
There.
J
B
D
B
H
B
D
Thanks,
mr
chair,
excuse
me,
I
think
you
know
looking
at
this
application
excited
to
see
the
development
and
and
noting
that
the
location
has
some
unique
characteristics,
especially
with
the
airport
limitations
and
height.
D
So
I
think
it's
a
good,
phased
approach
and
I'm
excited
to
see
so
many
employees
being
added
to
the
bloomington,
the
city
of
bloomington
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
provide
them
some
with
housing
in
the
vicinity
area
or
access
through
the
light
rail.
So,
overall,
I
think
I'm
excited
to
see
this
development
and
I
will
be
in
support
of
the
application.
H
My
question
related
to
the
open
space
really
draws
back
to
the
south
loop
district
plan
related
to
placemaking,
and
I
think
as
it's
as
this
is
a
transition
and
there'll
be
some
transition
time.
I
think
we've
talked
about
some
pilot
projects
along
lindell
avenue
corridor.
I
think
this
could
potentially
be
a
good
site,
a
good
opportunity
to
try
some
things.
H
Maybe
a
pocket
park
or
something
along
those
lines,
but
to
make
use
of
the
space
at
least
temporarily,
if
possible,
to
see
if
we
can
draw
more
folks
into
the
area
or
have
a
more
of
a.
I
think
commissioner
roman
mentioned
kind
of
open
space
and
park
option.
I
know
not
not
permanent,
but
something
at
least
temporarily
would
be
a
kind
of
a
fun
thing
to
do
so.
I
would
encourage
the
city
to
look
into
that,
but
I
am
I'm
in
support
of
this.
H
I
think
it's
a
great
project,
obviously
bringing
a
lot
of
jobs
into
the
city
of
bloomington
and
utilizing
this
great,
the
great
area,
that's
transit,
oriented
development,
so
I
am
in
support
thanks.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner,
gold
or
commissioner
albrecht,
and
I
I
will
build
on
your
comments.
I
I
am
pleased
to
see
this
business
successfully
developing
and
growing
in
bloomington.
I'm
pleased
that
we're
able
to
retain
them
in
bloomington.
My
only
observation
on
this.
This
proposed
development
is
the
the
sheer
kind
of
mass
of
it
we're
in
a
it's
a
unique
parcel
or
a
unique
block
mega
block.
B
B
And
so
I
would
encourage
the
the
staff
and
the
applicants,
as
you
refine
your
final
plans,
to
keep
in
mind
how
we
develop
this
area
in
a
way
that
doesn't
feel
like
it's
kind
of
a
barren
connecting
point
between
the
future
residential
development
near
the
mall
and
the
existing
and
future
relative
residential
development
to
the
east,
in
keeping
with
the
idea
of
the
south
loop.
But
I
those
are
not
reasons
for
me.
Just
to
oppose
this
item,
I
am
happy
to
support
it.
I
just
would
encourage
folks
to
think
about
that.
B
D
F
B
A
B
H
B
D
H
B
D
B
B
E
B
Mr
cookton
has
recused
himself
on
this
item
and
an
eye
for
myself
that
motion
moves
forward.
Six
zero,
then
the
next
one
commissioner
albrecht.
H
F
B
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second
for
to
recommend
adoption
of
a
resolution
for
a
planning
variance
for
park:
dedication
fees,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
by
roll
call.
Commissioner
goldsman
aye,
commissioner
corman
aye.
Commissioner
albrecht.
B
E
B
H
D
E
B
Commissioner
cookton
has
recused
on
this
item
and
that's
an
eye
for
myself.
This
item
moves
forward
six
zero.
I
believe
that
is
the
last
of
the
motions
on
this
item,
and
so
this
side
and
we'll
move
forward
to
the
may
3rd
city
council
meeting
as
a
public
hearing.
Thank
you
to
the
staff
and
the
applicant
for
their
work
on
this
project.
J
Yeah,
chairman
roman,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
we
can
all
right
hallelujah
and
that's
not
a
shot
at
mike.
I
was
having
my
own
issues
before
the
meeting
started.
Yes
before
you
this
evening.
I
will
share
my
screen
before
you
this
evening
as
a
number
of
different
entitlements
or
zoning
actions
that
pertain
to
a
four-story
68
unit
apartment
building
located
at
8012
old
cedar
avenue.
South
reuter
walton
is
the
applicant
of
this
action.
J
As
I
said,
it
includes
multiple
actions,
and
can
you
see
my
screen?
Okay,.
B
J
All
right,
I
will
proceed
so.
As
I
said,
multiple
actions
here,
it
does
involve
a
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
to
re-guide
the
site
from
office
to
high-density
residential.
The
site
is
currently
a
two-story
office
building.
So
this
is
a
change
of
use
in
your
comprehensive
plan.
The
land
use
element.
It
would
include
rezoning
the
site
from
fd2,
which
is
an
industrial
district
to
the
rm50
high
density
residential
zoning
district,
as
well
as
putting
in
the
planned
development
overlay
district
over
the
top
of
that
and
then
preliminary
and
final
development
plans
for
all
the
site.
J
Improvements,
site
and
building
improvements
here
proposed
and
then
also
a
type
3
preliminary
and
final
plat
to
combine
two
unplatted
lots
into
one
lot.
Here
is
an
area
map.
As
you
can
see,
this
is
a
little
bit
of
an
oddity
or
a
remnant
parcel
where
you've
got
a
small
sliver
parcel
and
that's
the
1800
east
80th
street
site
on
the
south
end
here,
the
main
site
being
8012
old
cedar.
So
the
subject
properties
are
located
at
the
northwest
corner
of
old
cedar
avenue,
south
and
east
80th
street
in
terms
of
surrounding
uses.
J
Of
course,
you
have
state
highway,
77
cedar
on
the
east
side
and
then
to
the
north.
You
have
the
allina
medical
office,
there's
other
office,
warehouse
or
office,
slash
industrial
uses
to
the
northwest.
Here
there
are
some
hotels
in
the
area
to
the
north
as
well
to
the
west.
You
have
a
number
of
different
four
plex
apartments
that
were
developed
on
east
80th
street
to
the
southwest
additional
apartments
and
then
across
these
80th
street
to
the
south.
You
have
another
office.
Building
old
cedar
avenue
south
is
a
major
collector.
J
Roadway
east
adia
street
is
a
local
roadway.
This
just
gives
you
an
oblique
image
of
the
existing
site.
One
thing
I'll
point
out
and
it'll
be
visible
in
the
street
view
in
the
next
slide,
too,
is
that
the
nokomis
minnesota
river
regional
bike
trail
runs
along
the
east
side
of
this
site,
so
certainly
a
valuable
amenity
to
this
property
and
gives
bicycle
and
walking
access
to
a
wide
variety
of
different
locales
and
destinations
in
the
area.
J
J
One
thing
I
want
to
I
want
to
point
out
is
just
the
align
of
sight
where,
if
you
can
see
my
cursor
on
the
right
side
of
the
screen,
the
line
of
sight
is
a
few
feet
higher
than
the
subject
site.
Otherwise,
the
subject
site
is
a
fairly
flat
easy
to
develop
site,
so
they
would
tear
this
office
building
down
in
order
to
accommodate
this
proposed
apartment,
building
a
little
bit
of
background
on
this
one.
You
know.
Typically,
you
know
prior
to
a
development
application.
J
It
typically
involves
just
meeting
with
staff,
and
you
know
preparing
their
civil
and
architectural
plans
and
those
things,
but
this
particular
development
does
involve
the
provision
of
a
large
amount
of
units
that
are
designated
as
affordable
at
different
levels.
According
to
you
know,
standard
practice,
and
so
in
order
to
achieve
the
financing
package
to
make
this
project
feasible,
the
applicant
has
had
to
gather
a
number
of
different
pools
or
sources
of
financing.
J
In
january
of
this
year
there
is
an
award
process
which
is
a
competitive
process
where
developments
residential
developments
across
the
state
apply
for
funding
from
minnesota
housing
and
reuter.
Walton
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
selected
for
an
11
million
dollar
award
for
housing
tax
credit
bonds
associated
with
this
project.
J
The
catch
to
that
or
the
the
caveat
is
that
these
projects
have
to
achieve,
have
to
be
shovel
ready
in
a
certain
period
of
time
and
the
conditions
of
their
tax.
Credit
bonds
require
this
project
to
obtain
a
building
permit
by
early
july.
J
J
So
there
is
a
precedent
for
the
city
and
for
applicants
to
be
able
to
deliver
on
this
timeline,
but
it
just
presents
a
time-sensitive
component
that
otherwise
would
not
exist
and
then,
in
march
of
2021
I
know
the
planning
commission
reviewed
this
ordinance,
but
just
to
touch
on
the
council
action
on
it.
There
were
some
recent
revisions
and
modifications
to
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
that
were
put
forth
and
approved,
and
many
of
these
revisions
pertain
to
oho
tools
and
incentives
that
are
applicable
or
relevant
to
tonight's
application.
J
So
I
do
want
to
touch
on
that
and
I
will
highlight
some
of
those
as
we
go
through
them.
The
subject.
Application
is
also
seeking
tiff
funding
again
another
portion
or
part
of
their
financing
package
or
capital
stack.
If
you
will
is
reliant
upon
that,
and
then
just
to
note
and
this
circles
back
to
my
comments
about
the
time
sensitivity
of
the
application,
this
application
is
scheduled
for
a
public
hearing
at
city
council
on
april,
the
19th
so
at
the
upcoming
city
council
meeting,
and
that
is
a
little
bit
accelerated
than
typical.
J
J
All
68
units
meet
the
60
ami
thresholder
below
and
in
addition
to
that,
they
are
providing
eight
50
percent
ami
units,
as
well
as
six
thirty
percent
ami
units
affordable
to
households,
making
thirty
percent
of
area
meeting
income,
and
so
that
is
relevant
here
in
terms
of
tools
and
incentives
which
we'll
talk
about
in
that
this
project
is
one
of
the
first
projects.
J
To
my
knowledge
that
qualifies
for
the
30
percent
ami
lane
kind
of
there's,
you
know
the
tools
and
incentives
are
are
tiered
or
structured
in
a
way
that
the
more
affordable
affordability
you
provide,
the
the
the
greater
the
tools
and
incentives
are
in
order
to
incentivize
the
creation
of
those
units
and
then
on
the
bottom
portion
of
the
slide.
These
are
just
some
of
the
rents
that
are
typical
monthly
rents
associated
with
those
levels
of
affordability.
J
J
We
are
required
to
include
information
that
is
relevant
to
the
creation
and
maintenance
of
affordable
housing
units
in
our
city
in
our
community
and
med
council
does
create
an
allocation
for
every
community
and
it's
based
on
projected
population
growth,
as
well
as
existing
population
in
terms
of
what
the
housing
need
is.
So
here
are
some
of
those
numbers
that
are
included
in
that
10-year:
affordable
housing,
application
by
med
council.
J
So,
as
you
can
see,
they're
they're
suggesting
that
bloomington's
allocation
over
this
10-year
period
is
842
units,
so
bloomington
over
the
last
two
years
or
so
right,
as
we
were
developing
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
and
then
the
post,
the
ohl
period.
We
have
been
making
progress
in
the
creation
of
affordable
units.
J
These
are
units
that
are
approved,
so
not
all
of
these
units
have
been
constructed,
but
as
you
can
see
that
they're
over
the
last
couple
years,
519
units
with
some
level
of
affordability
according
to
these
categories,
have
been
create
or
have
been
approved
in
terms
of
zoning
approval.
If
you
look
at
this
table
in
terms
of
where
the
deficits
are,
where
are
the
gaps?
J
The
gaps
or
deficits
are
at
the
30
percent
and
below
unit
creation
and
the
50
in
the
30
to
50,
and
that
is
typical.
That
is
common
for
the
reason
that
these
are
the
hardest
units
to
create
in
terms
of
the
complexity
of
financing
them
and
the
challenge
associated
with
that.
And
so,
whereas
you
know
some
projects
might
be
able
to
secure
some
level
of
subsidy
or
grant
or
tax
credit
that
can
achieve
a
sixty
percent
ami
development.
J
Getting
creating
units
at
that
thirty
percent
and
fifty
percent
level
creates
multiple,
typically
multiple
sources
of
financing.
In
order
to
create
that
end
result,
so,
commission
krypton
asked
for
these
numbers.
I
thought
it
was
good
to
touch
base
on
this,
as
we
talked
about
as
we
discussed
this
topic
so
the
getting
to
the
tools
and
incentives
themselves,
and
I
will
get
to
the
development
I
promise.
I
just
want
to
touch
on
these
elements
first,
because
they
inform
what
you
will
see
in
terms
of
the
final
development
plans.
J
So
again,
this
project
has
is
make
the
30
ami
lane
or
is
eligible
for
that.
So
again,
this
is
the
the
some
of
the
larger
extent
of
tools
and
incentives
that
the
city
offers
in
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance
so
I'll
touch
on
these
are
all
the
tools
and
systems
that
this
project
is
taking
advantage
of
or
requesting
utilization
of.
So
there's
the
density
bonus.
The
the
baseline
density
of
the
rm
50s
owning
districts
is
50
units
of
the
acre,
depending
on
affordability.
You
can
increase
that
by
50
percent.
J
They
would
be
eligible
for
the
maximum
increase
in
this
case,
although
they
are
proposing
a
residential
density
of
57.6
units
per
acre.
So
that's
a
15
increase
side
area
reduction.
This
is
one
of
the
tools
and
incentives
that
was
recently
adopted
in
that
ordinance
revision.
They
are
utilizing
this
incentive
as
well
again
complying
with
the
maximum
that
30
percent
lane.
They
would
be
eligible.
J
You
know
incumbent
upon
city
council
approval,
of
course,
for
a
50
reduction
in
site
area.
This
site
is
1.1
acres
in
size,
51
000
square
feet,
so
that
would
represent
a
35
percent
reduction
site
with
similar
story.
The
rm50s
orange
district
requires
200
feet
and
site
width.
The
site
is
165.,
they
would
be
eligible
for
50
reduction.
They
are
requesting
17
open
space.
J
This
is
one
element
again
that
was
addressed
in
the
recent
oh
revisions.
They
are
requesting
the
maximum
50
reduction
associated
with
this
application,
and
we
will
talk
about
open
space,
some
more
as
we
go
through.
The
final
development
plans
the
parking
reduction-
this
is
another
tool
or
incentive
that
they
are
requesting
the
maximum
reduction
under
the
oho.
J
The
maximum
reduction
would
be
a
40
in
total
off-street
parking
stalls,
and
that
is
what
they
have
brought
forward
to
you
in
their
final
development
plans
in
terms
of
enclosed
parking
space.
This
is
another
cooler
incentive
that
was
recently
revised
somewhat
in
our
last
revisions
to
the
oho.
J
They
are
requesting
a
17
reduction
in
their
total,
enclosed
parking
supply,
there's
68
units
and
they're,
bringing
forward
to
you
56
underground
parking
stalls
with
associated
with
the
development
exterior
materials.
This
is
not
a
tool
or
incentive
that
changed.
I
believe
in
the
last
ordinance
update,
but
it's
fairly
straightforward.
J
They
are
proposing
to
take
advantage
of
some
of
these
materials
on
non-street
facing
streets,
so
I'll
go
over
that
and
then
residential
storage
again
they'd
be
eligible
for
a
75
reduction
they're
requesting
a
41
percent
reduction
in
the
one
storage
unit
per
residential
unit.
So
hopefully,
that
provides
an
overview
of
what
tools
and
incentives
we'll
talk
about
when
it
comes
to
this
project
and
some
of
the
things
that
writer
walton
is
requesting
getting
to
the
comp
plan,
amendment
request,
similar
to
other
applications
whenever
there's
a
request
for
re-guiding
a
property.
J
J
J
We
also
look
at
in
terms
of
you
know
what
what
are
the
surrounding
land
uses
and
how
does
this
land
use
work
in
conjunction
with
that?
Certainly,
there
are
some
higher
density
residential
land
uses
in
this
area,
so
it
wouldn't
be
for
lack
of
a
better
term
kind
of
a
spot.
Zoning
situation
or
kind
of
a
an
oddball
use
in
terms
of
the
location
is
concerned,
and
then,
finally,
we
and
also
evaluating
these
requests.
We
look
at
what
else?
J
Does
the
comprehensive
plan
say
in
terms
of
what
public
benefit
is
this
change
bring
to
the
table,
and
certainly
the
housing
element
of
the
comp
plan
speaks
a
lot
about
the
creation
of
affordable
housing
units.
It
speaks
to
the
creation
of
increasing
the
the
city's
housing
supply
and
housing
stock
and
as
well
as
diversifying
the
city's
housing
stock
in
terms
of
providing
a
full
spectrum
of
different
types
of
housing
to
meet
all
the
city's
housing
needs.
J
Getting
to
the
zoning.
We
look
at
a
lot
of
the
same
criteria
with
respect
to
evaluating
a
rezoning
request,
as
we
would
with
the
comp
plan.
Certainly,
consistency
with
the
comp
plan
is
one
thing
we
look
at.
Of
course,
this
application
also
includes
reguiding.
So
if
the
reguiding
is
approved,
then
the
zoning
district
of
the
rm50
would
certainly
be
consistent
with
the
comp
plan.
J
J
Fd2
is
one
of
the
more
eclectic
or
oddball
zoning
districts
that
we
have
I
would
describe,
and
the
reason
being
is
that
you
know
it's
freeway
development
is
the
fd2
district,
it's
technically
under
our
industrial
categories,
it's
grouped
with
those
other
industrial
zoning
districts,
but
there
is
a
wide
variety
of
land
uses
that
are
allowed
on
some
level
in
the
fd2
zoning
district
hotels.
J
J
So
the
rm50
district,
of
course,
is
a
district
that
is
intended
for
high-density
housing,
it's
much
more
straightforward
or
narrow
in
terms
of
the
allowed
uses
that
are
allowed
here,
and
in
order
to
achieve
the
density
that
they're
desiring
at
this
location,
they
would
need
the
rm50
zoning
district
to
do
that.
Then,
of
course,
they're
also
proposing
to
put
the
plan
development
overlay
zoning
over
it
over
the
sites.
That's
typical
of
any
application
that
includes
fine
preliminary
and
final
development
plans.
J
So,
as
I
said
before,
we
look
at
a
lot
of
the
same
criteria
when
we
look
at
it
rezoning
again
access
to
a
collector
road
check,
but
checks
that
box
it
does
have
access
to
transit.
Not
only
is
there
all-day
bus
service
on
american
boulevard,
but
the
d-line
brt
is
currently
under
construction
in
this
area
and
would
have
stops
on
american
boulevard.
J
In
addition
to
that,
you
know,
the
the
site
itself
is
not
too
far
away
from
the
mall
of
america.
It's
right
across
the
highway
from
from
one
of
the
biggest
transit
stations
in
the
state,
which
includes
access
to
blue
line,
lrt
redline
brt.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
transit
in
this
area
and
it
it
is
a
quarter
mile
walk
to
the
all-day
bus
service.
J
Certainly
it's
a
longer
walk
to
the
the
mall
america
transit
station,
but
should
should
there
be
households
without
that
are
not
auto
dependent,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
in
addition
to
the
bicycle
facilities
as
well,
so
we
do
look
at
transit.
This
site
checks
that
box.
We
also
look
at
what
surrounding
land
uses,
provide
or
offer
this
site
in
terms
of
employment
as
well
as
commercial
services.
J
So
there
is
a
lot
of
jobs
in
this
part
of
bloomington,
again,
of
course,
with
the
mall
america,
that's
certainly
the
obvious
one,
but
other
there's
a
lot
of
business
development
along
the
american
boulevard
corridor
as
well,
and
then
again
similar
to
that
there
is
opportunities
for
retail
and
services
and
grocery
elsewhere
around
american
boulevard,
as
you
go
to
the
west,
so
it
checks
a
lot
of
those
boxes.
J
Finally,
we
also
look
at
the
provision
of
public
open
space
and
these
criteria
that
I'm
mentioning
are
all
kind
of
found
in
the
definition
or
purpose
and
intent
statement
of
the
zoning
district.
The
rm50
and
we
also
look
at
open
space
this
site,
while
not
immediately
adjacent
to
a
larger
open
space.
It
is
half
a
mile
from
wright's
right
lake
park
to
the
south.
That's
the
closest
larger
park
to
this
site,
so
certainly
a
walkable
distance
or
easy
to
travel
down
the
bike
path
to
get
there.
J
J
You
have
access
to
the
minnesota
river
to
the
south
and
you
can
achieve
a
lot
of
different
recreational
opportunities
by
traveling
on
the
bike
trail
to
the
north
as
well.
So
we
do
recommend
approval
of
the
rezoning.
J
The
first
thing,
you'll
notice
about
the
the
building
footprint
or
the
building
location,
is
that
it
is
located
at
a
very
at
a
minimal
or
a
lesser
setback
up
to
east
80th
street,
as
well
as
old
cedar,
but
close
up
to
east
80th
street.
So
this
is
a
more
urban
design.
It
has.
J
J
So
that's
certainly
the
feeling
you
would
get
if
this
building
were
to
be
developed,
the
parking
at
the
property
again
they're,
providing
56
underground
parking
spaces.
So
you
can
see
on
the
north
side
of
the
site.
This
is
the
surface
parking,
there's
33
surface
parking
stalls
available
to
the
site
and
then
that
would
sweep
down
downgrade
into
an
underground
parking
garage
which
I'll
show
you
in
terms
of
other
site
improvements.
J
They
are
showing
a
patio
here.
Outdoor
area
here
near
the
front
entrance,
certainly
have
ada
main
entrance
available
at
the
main
entrance.
They
are
proposing
to
construct
a
sidewalk
along
east
80th
street.
The
east
80th
doesn't
currently
have
a
sidewalk
along
this
stretch,
and
then
one
thing
I
want
to
specify
or
for
the
purposes
of
the
notice
for
the
folks
who
may
have
been
noticed
for
this
project
or
in
the
description,
the
original
application
included
a
rooftop
deck
or
patio
that
amenity
or
that
aspect
of
the
building
has
since
been
removed
from
the
design.
J
Here
is
some
renderings
of
the
building
they're
they're,
proposing
a
a
fairly
common
or
typical
palette
of
materials
for
residential
development
of
this
type
metal
panels,
brick
fiber
cement
in
certain
locations
and
glass,
of
course,
so
pretty
attractive,
building,
elevations
and
renderings
here,
certainly
some
warm
colors
and
spaces
that
contrasted
with
the
brick
there.
You
can
see
the
from
the
northwest
view.
You
can
see
the
trail,
the
southeast
view
or
southwest
view
along
east
80th
street,
and
then
the
north
view
you
can
see.
J
This
is
a
little
elevated
kind
of
modeling,
the
the
view
from
the
alaina
property.
One
thing
I
want
to
touch
on
on
the
south
elevation.
J
Well
first,
let
me
say
that
the
the
building
elevations
are
the
next
two
slides
they're
broken
into
two
different
slides,
and
the
reason
being
is
that
our
oho
tools
and
incentives
that
pertain
to
building
materials
vary
depending
on
whether
or
not
it's
a
street
facing
facade,
and
so,
in
this
case,
just
to
be
clear,
the
street
facing
facades
for
this
property
are
south
and
east,
and
the
non-street
facing
are
north
and
west.
J
So
in
terms
of
compliance
with
the
city's
oho,
that's
how
that
would
be
reviewed
and
regulated
in
terms
of
what
materials
are
permitted
so
on
the
south.
Here
again,
you
can
see
metal
and
brick
and
then
in
the
east
elevations
they
have
different
type
of
metal
panel
kind
of
with
a
wood
grain
type
finish,
and
then
there's
an
interior
again
with
showing
some
metal
metal
siding
in
addition
to
the
brick
in
the
glass.
J
Oh
one
thing
I
want
to
touch
on
on
the
south
elevation:
is
that
we'll
talk
about
this
with
open
space?
J
But
the
initial
and
you
didn't
see
it
in
the
renderings
and
the
reason
being
is
that
the
initial
application
did
not
include
for
the
provisions
of
balconies
on
the
south
elevation
they're
now
proposing
12
balconies
on
the
south
elevation
and
that's
to
help
achieve
compliance
with
the
open
space
requirements
in
light
of
the
the
maximum
reduction
they're
not
proposing
to
go
below
that
reduction
and
that's
a
good
thing,
and
we
also
think
that
this
in
terms
of
we'll
talk
about
this
with
setbacks.
J
But
we
think
it's
also
a
positive
change
in
that
it
provides
more
activity
along
the
along
east
80s
street
than
otherwise
than
previously
seen
similar
pallet
of
materials
on
the
north
and
west
elevations.
Again,
these
elevations
are
eligible
for
some
alternative
material
allowances
under
the
opportunity.
J
J
In
that
regard,
this
project
did
require
that
they
perform
a
shadow
study
because
again
they
had
there
was
the
possibility
or
whenever
there
is
a
potential
to
cast
shadows
on
a
taller
building
on
residential
uses.
The
city
code
requires
they
submit
this.
J
What
the
shadow
study
shows
is
that
there
is
minimal
shadow
impacts
in
the
morning
in
the
winter,
in
particular,
on
the
residential
uses
to
the
west.
Those
four
plex
structures,
but
the
city
code
does
allow
this.
It
prohibits
a
scenario
where,
where
shadows
would
be
cast
both
in
the
am
and
pm
on
an
adjoining
residential
use,
so
just
to
touch
on
that
that
they
did
provide
that?
J
Oh,
I
should
just
say
that
the
max
height
is
165..
I
don't
think
I
actually
said
the
building
height,
it's
54
feet
at
the
tallest
point
and
that's
slightly
reduced
again
with
the
removal
of
that
rooftop
patio.
They
needed
a
elevator
to
serve
that
and
some
more
stair
towers,
but
that's
gone
in
terms
of
parking,
as
I
mentioned
before,
they
are
requesting
the
maximum
reduction,
which
is
a
40
reduction.
J
This
area
this
is
site,
is
in
the
designated
transit
area
so
because
they
are
eligible
for
this
reduction
again
subject
to
council
approval,
of
course,
but
because
they
are
eligible
for
it.
No
additional
parking
studies
were
done.
As
the
planning
commission
is
aware,
the
city
does
have
it
on
its
work
plan
to
look
at
our
multi-family
residential
parking
requirements,
but
nonetheless
this
is
a
fairly
sizable
reduction
without
a
doubt
code.
J
The
base
standard
would
require
149
spaces
68
within
a
garage
they're
providing
89
which
meets
that
40
reduction
and
again
they
did
have
a
minor
reduction
in
the
amount
of
enclosed
parking,
but
they're
close
to
meeting
that
so
again,
this
is
based
on
the
unit
mix
and
it's
based
upon
the
amount
of
party
space
within
the
building,
but
they
are
meeting
the
city's
parking
requirements
with
respect
to
the
oho
reduction.
J
A
couple
things
to
note
else
about
parking:
the
surrounding
streets
are
restricted
from
on-street
parking,
so
that
can
present
challenges
for
a
site
that
has
a
reduced
amount
of
parking.
For
that
reason,
staff
is
recommending
that
the
applicant
prepare
a
parking
management
plan
and
the
types
of
things
that
staff
would
want
to
see
on
that
and
have
the
the
owner
and
the
applicant
on
the
record,
for
is
that
parking
spaces
cannot
be
used
for
snow
storage.
J
J
Should
that
become
an
issue
at
this
site.
There
are
opportunities
in
the
surrounding
area
to
look
at
a
shared
parking
scenario,
one
of
the
benefits
of
having
some
office
or
other
type
uses
in
their
areas
that
those
types
of
properties
do
lend
themselves
to
a
good
shared
parking
scenario.
But
again
that
would
be
incumbent
on
those
private
properties
to
come
to
an
agreement.
So
that
could
be
a
backup
plan.
Should
the
parking
supply
be
inadequate,
yeah,
I
think
that's
all.
I
wanted
to
touch
on
with
respect
to
parking
the
landscape
plan.
J
They
are
providing
a
code
compliant
amount
of
material.
They
do
have
some
deciduous
overstory
trees
planned
along
the
southern
elevation,
which
is
good
and
important
in
order
to
provide
shade
for
that
southern
elevation.
It's
going
to
get
the
most
sun
public
works
has
been
working
with
them
in
order
to
provide
an
adequate
planting
there
with
respect
to
the
pathway
or
the
location
of
that
sidewalk.
J
Just
in
case,
I
don't
anticipate
a
lot
of
late
night
traffic
at
the
allina
property,
but
you
know
certainly
at
five
six
o'clock
at
night
in
the
winter
time,
you're
probably
going
to
get
some
headlights
shining
to
the
south
and
it's
a
little
bit
elevated.
So
that's
something
they
maybe
should
think
about
that
code
required,
but
just
a
recommendation
in
terms
of
usable
open
space
they
have
provided
this
exhibit
again.
J
Our
city
code
definition
of
usable,
open
space
is
area,
that's
available
for
passive
or
active
recreation
and
meets
a
minimum
15
feet
in
width
and
depth.
So
those
areas
that
are
outlined
in
red
would
meet
the
city's
definition
for
usable,
open
space.
They
are
still
short
from
the
50
requirement,
and
for
that
reason,
that
is
why
those
balconies
were
added.
J
One
other
thing
just
touch
on
and
the
applicant
can
speak
to
this
better
than
I
can,
but
there's
been
some
ongoing
discussions
with
the
applicant
about
the
potential
of
how
to
program
kind
of
the
outdoor
spaces
of
this.
Certainly
it's
a
more
constrained
or
tight
site,
but
there's
been
some
some
discussion
about
whether
or
not
it
would
be
appropriate
to
try
and
program
a
small
tot
lot
or
playground
kind
of
amenity
at
this
development.
So
that's
something
that's
ongoing
in
terms
of
pd
pd
deviations.
J
We
try
and
touch
on
these
so
that
you're,
aware
of
them
and
what
is
being
requested
here
and
again,
all
pd
flexibility
or
deviations
are
always
evaluated
through
the
lens
of
meeting
the
intent
of
that
district,
as
well
as
providing
public
benefit.
What
is
the
public
benefit
associated
with
this
project?
So
there's
some
pretty
significant
reductions
in
setback
being
proposed
here,
some
of
the
most
significant
reductions
that
we've
seen
on
a
residential
project
here
in
bloomington,
not
in
one
of
our
of
course,
mixed
use
or
more
urban
districts,
saying
south
loop
or
pen
american.
J
J
The
majority
of
the
southern
elevation
would
be
at
an
11
foot
setback
and
again,
that's
touching
on
providing
that
adequate
planting
area
for
some
trees
along
that
elevation
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
they
are
requesting
reduction
in
setback
for
the
balcony
structures
themselves.
Those
would
extend
five
feet
out
from
the
building
face
and
so
a
little
bit
over
a
six
foot
setback
would
be
provided,
but
again,
the
clearance
on
those
is
a
minimum
of
12
feet
in
height,
so
that
projection
wouldn't
be
right
at
the
the
sidewalk
or
the
street
level.
J
Staff
is
comfortable
with
that
reduced
building
setback
along
east
adia
street.
We
don't.
We
don't
feel
that
any
of
these
deviations
present
any
negative
externalities
or
impacts
to
adjoining
properties
so
getting
to
the
other
deviations.
There's
three
other
ones
just
to
touch
on
quickly
the
parking
setback
they
are
providing
a
12-foot
setback
to
the
surface
parking
lot
along
old
cedar.
J
There
is
adequate
room
for
snow
storage
for
the
trail
and
there
is
adequate
planting
area
to
do
parking
lot,
screening
as
required
by
code.
So,
given
that
those
two
things
are
achieved,
we
are
supportive
of
that
reduction
and
setback
front
landscape
yards
again.
The
east,
similar
to
the
parking
setback,
they're
linked,
the
east
20
feet,
12
feet
and
the
south
20
feet
to
10
feet
and
again.
That
deviation
is
connected
to
the
building
setback,
of
course,
that
we
just
touched
on
and
then
finally,
just
the
retaining
wall
setback.
J
That
way
is
that,
if
you
think
of
being
an
adjoining
property
where
the
wall
actually
extends
in
height
right
next
to
your
property
boundary,
it's
good
that
a
taller
wall
be
set
back
further
from
the
property
line
than
say
just
five
feet,
or
even
allowed
up
to
the
property
line
in
some
cases
for
smaller
walls,
and
so
that
is
why
those
setbacks
exist
is
to
to
kind
of
deal
with
that
massing.
That
can
occur
right
next
to
a
property
line,
but
also
have
the
potential
to
create.
J
You
know:
storm
water
or
erosion,
issues
in
terms
of
accelerating
storm
water
right,
add
a
joining
property.
Neither
is
the
case
in
this
scenario.
This
wall
is
needed
to
drop
the
driveway
down
in
order
to
access
the
underground
parking
garage.
So,
given
that
the
alliance
site
is
taller,
they
really
won't
even
see
this
wall
and
the
wall
itself
is
really
at
a
five
foot
setback,
but
because
of
the
the
design
of
the
wall.
J
In
order
to
retain
that
amount
of
earth
their
engineered
blocks,
they
extend
a
little
bit
into
that
five
foot
landscape
yard.
So
it's
a
four
foot
setback.
For
those
reasons
I
mentioned
staff
is
supportive
of
that
deviation
as
well,
and
that's
the
deviations
this
similar
to
the
last
application.
This
does
include
a
platforming
final
plot,
it's
very
simple
they're,
just
taking
those
two
unplanted
lots
and
combining
them
into
one
platted
lot.
J
Just
achieving
trash
and
recycling
storage,
just
increasing
that
storage
area
a
little
bit
providing
rooftop
screening
and
then
final
point
similar
to
the
application.
This
site
is
in
the
safety
zone
c.
So
in
that
green
area
that
you
were
talking
about
chairman
roman,
this
area
is
in
the
safety
zone
c
area.
This
the
building
itself
does
not
require
an
airport
zoning
permit
and
we
don't
anticipate
that
the
construction
crane
would
either.
J
But
that
being
said
just
as
to
be
safe
and
prudent,
just
to
get
a
no
hazard
determination
done
on
any
construction
crane
that
would
be
brought
out
to
the
site
to
do
construction
in
terms
of
public
correspondence,
we
did
get
a
review
letter
from
mndot
and
the
first.
The
main
thing
they
wanted
to
touch
on
is
noise
and
again
that
relates
to
their
statewide
policies
in
terms
of
land
uses
near
highways.
It's
a
little
bit
of
a
point
of
focus
for
them
just
with
in
terms
of
noise
complaints.
J
I
have
spoken
to
the
project
architect.
They
are
contemplating
doing
higher
end
stc
rating
windows
and
doing
some
noise
mitigation
in
terms
of
the
the
methods
of
construction.
So
they
could
certainly
speak
to
that
better
than
I
other
than
that
no
public
correspondence
has
been
received
on
this
application.
Staff
is
recommending
approval.
I
do
have
some
suggested
motions.
I've
talked
long
enough
thanks
for
your
patience
and
happy
to
take
questions.
B
Thank
you,
mr
johnson,
before
I
entertain
other
questions,
the
other
item
that
mndot
noted
was
the
trail
crossing.
Mr
johnson,
you
mentioned
that
the
driveway
was
largely
unchanged.
Do
we
anticipate
any
concerns
with
the
trail
crossing
at
that
driveway.
J
B
And
so
the
current
plans
resolve
that
concern.
G
J
Yeah,
that's
a
fair
question.
I
certainly
welcome
glenn
to
speak
to
this
one
too,
but
in
terms
of
you
know
where
we
deploy
the
rm100
zoning
district,
I
think
you
want
to
be
very
selective
in
terms
of
where
you
prescribe
that
level
of
density.
It's
which
is,
you
know,
a
very
high
level
of
density.
So
I
think
that's
part
of
it
is
you
want
rm100
to
go
in
the
most
amenity-rich
pedestrian,
friendly
kind
of
more
dense
or
urban
areas
possible?
J
And
secondarily,
you
know
with
the
with
the
tools
incentives
that
are
available
through
the
oho,
if
you're
able
to
achieve
that
with
a
lower
base
zoning
district,
I
think
that
that's
certainly
a
positive
thing.
One
thing
you
know:
let's
just
pretend
that
the
cataclysmic
scenario
happens
where
this
developer
goes
away
for
whatever
reason,
but
this
site
you
know
following
a
city
council
action
would
still
remain
as
rm50.
Well,
let's
say
that
the
next
developer
doesn't
want
to
bring
the
net
the
same
level
of
affordability.
J
Having
it
only
be,
rm50
is
a
way
to
restrict
what
the
next
development
would
want
to
do
that
wouldn't
offer
as
much
public
benefit.
As
this
one,
so
I
think
that
that
speaks
to
why
you'd
want
to
not
apply
rm100
here.
I
really
don't
think
it'd
be
easy
to
achieve
a
higher
density
at
this
site
anyway,
parking
it
would
be
very
expensive.
It
involved
a
lot
of
structure
parking
and
would
be
very
challenging.
J
D
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
guess
the
question
that
I
have
is
around
the
sidewalk
that
is
being
constructed
on
on
80th
heading.
You
know,
east
and
west,
and
one
of
the
questions
I
have
is
I'm
just
looking
at
a
a
aerial
view
of
that
location.
Now,
on
my
other
screen,
it
does
not
look
like
there's
a
sidewalk
continuing
going
west
on
80th.
J
Yeah,
thank
you,
chairman
roman
and
commissioner
goldsmith.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
This
is
actually
one
of
our
nuances
of
our
code,
whereas
in
commercial
or
office
uses
the
city
council
has
the
authority
to
waive
the
construction
of
a
sidewalk
if
it
doesn't
lead
to
another
connecting
sidewalk.
So
this
is
kind
of
the
you
know
the
bridge
to
nowhere
idea
in
this
case,
and
on
that
nuance,
the
that
same
discretion
that
city
council
has
does
not
exist
for
high
density
residential
uses.
J
So
they
have
to
construct
a
sidewalk
here
along
east
80th
street,
and
not
only
do
they
I
mean
in
terms
of
you,
could
talk
about,
maybe
the
merit
or
the
value
of
the
the
little
stub
west
of
the
secondary
access.
You
know
that's
something
you
could
certainly
question,
but
in
terms
of
the
broader
sidewalk,
there
is
a
lot
of
utility
and
value
to
constructing
this
sidewalk,
connecting
the
secondary
access
and
connecting
the
site
in
general
to
the
bike
trail
along
old
cedar.
J
I
I
certainly
would
be
as
a
planner
would
be
supportive
of
them
looking
to
extend
that
sidewalk,
but
that
typically
has
to
do
with.
How
is
the
a?
How
is
the
city
going
to
pay
for
it?
You
know,
would
that
involve
some
type
of
assessment,
or
would
the
city
use
other
funds
to
do
that,
and
then
b?
When
is
this
roadway
scheduled
to
be
reconstructed
because
they,
they
probably
would
wait
on
something
like
that
until
there
was
a
broader
reconstruction
effort?
J
Brian
hansen,
I
think,
might
be
on
the
call
if
he
has
more
details
about
that.
B
That
answer
your
question,
commissioner,
goldsman.
B
I
would
echo-
or
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
that
any
time
we're
adding
sidewalks
is
a
good
thing,
regardless
of
where
they
go
to,
because
that
will
give
us
the
opportunity
to
connect
them
in
the
future
and
sidewalks
remain
a
major
gap
in
our
city.
So,
commissioner,
cookton.
G
Thanks,
mr
chair,
mr
johnson,
the
staff
report
noted
an
easement
encroachment
agreement
with
some
of
the
overhanging
balconies.
Could
you
help
me
understand
what
that
is,
and
then
I
may
have
a
follow-up
question
for
you
absolutely.
J
Chairman
roman
commissioner
cook
don.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
So,
whenever
a
property
is
newly
platted,
the
public
works
department
requires
them
to
provide
a
10-foot,
drainage
and
utility,
as
well
as
a
10-foot,
sidewalk,
bikeway
easement
and
again
in
most
scenarios
they
try
and
get
the
sidewalk
facilities
onto
the
public
onto
the
private
property
within
these
easements,
and
so
the
easements
is
basically
an
area
where
the
city
has
the
right
to
construct
and
maintain
pedestrian
facilities,
as
well
as
drainage
and
utility
purposes.
J
And
so,
if
you
look
at
on
my
slide
here
on
the
right
side,
where
kind
of
the
more
zoomed
in
image
it's
a
little
bit
hard
to
tell
because
it's
a
faint
gray
line.
But
you
can
see
those
balconies
are
extending
from
the
building
face
five
feet
out,
and
so,
if
the
building
is
at
an
11
foot,
setback
that
that
sidewalk
bikeway
easement
starts
one
foot
after
the
one
foot
from
the
building
face
so
that
side,
so
that
balcony
will
be
extending
into
that
easement.
J
Although
the
aerial
space
of
that
easement
about
four
feet.
So
there's
a
four
foot
encroachment
there.
Given
that
it's
12
feet
above
the
ground,
public
works
finds
the
encroachment
acceptable,
but
they
still,
for
the
purposes
of
you,
know,
making
sure
that
they
have
a
a
clean
record
on
that
they
still
would
process
an
easement
encroachment
agreement
just
to
recognize
its
presence.
It's
a
way
of
the
property
owner,
acknowledging
that
hey,
I'm
in
your
your
tour
for
your
territory
here
with
respect
to
this
easement.
J
I
acknowledge
it
and
kind
of
these
are
the
terms
and
conditions,
but
in
terms
of
disruption
to
the
balconies,
it
would
be
a
very
rare
or
strange
scenario
that
they
would
have
to
disrupt
those
balconies
in
any
way.
It's
more
of
a
formal
acknowledgement
of
their
presence.
G
Thanks,
mr
johnson
and
you
were
starting
to
go
down.
The
path
I
was
trending
towards
was
my
concern
that
if
some
sort
of
utility
ever
did
need
to
go
in
there
that
we
could
be
disrupting
a
balcony
but
you're
you're
telling
me
public
works
has
looked
at
this
and
finds
that
to
be
unlikely
enough.
That
they're
comfortable
proceeding.
J
Yeah,
that's
that's
correct
if
again,
brian
hansen
is
on
the
call,
if
you
want
further
explanation,
but
in
my
meetings
with
them
you
know
public
works
isn't
going
to
issue
an
encroachment
agreement
unless
they're
unless
they're
comfortable
doing
so,
and
so
that's
the
case
here.
E
Thank
you
chair,
mr
johnson,
two
questions
and
I
think
I
found
the
balcony
answer,
but
for
the
low
for
the
single
family
is
this,
you
said
it
was
at
four
plex
correct
the
one
to
the
west,
the
low
density,
housing
development.
That's
already
on
site.
There
will
be
no
balconies
on
the
waste
west
side
facing
wall
of
the
project,
correct.
E
Thank
you.
The
other
question
I
had
was
really
more
about
the
bike
lane
that
the
that
is
on
old
cedar.
I
actually
live
three
blocks
from
this
site.
Alaina
bloomington
clinic
is
my
family
clinic.
We
go
to
the
park
that
you
mentioned,
and
you
know
it's.
Sometimes
we
commute
by
transit
to
the
mall,
take
the
transit
to
downtown
minneapolis
for
work.
E
It's
been
hard,
sometimes
where
you
have
sometimes
distracted
folks
leaving
the
office
where
they
just
go
into
the
bike
lane.
My
only
concern
is
having
the
primary
entrance
and
exit
for
this
entire
development
being
right
on
the
old
cedar.
I
believe
so
and
I
would
not
want
as
a
resident
of
this
area
and
possible.
You
know
I
feel,
for
the
neighbors
right
on
this
corridor
and
bringing
high
density
apartments
into
this
area.
E
I
guess
my
general
concern
is
just
the
traffic
demand
on
that
bike
lane
and
just
the
it's
a
family-oriented
apartment
I
feel
like,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
the
development.
E
J
It's
good
because
it
kind
of
elicits
or
helps
people
understand
some
of
the
kind
of
back
and
forth
on
the
design
process
that
happens
with
the
development
community
on
the
early
side
of
things,
certainly
at
the
early
very
onset
of
this
process,
while
they
were
still
trying
to
achieve
getting
the
financing
in
place
for
this
project,
they
were
also
meeting
with
planning
and
engineering
staff
to
understand
the
feasibility
of
this
project,
and
then
we
did
discuss
different
site
plans
or
orientations
of
the
building
that
might
offer
some
level
of
driveway
on
the
west
side
of
the
site
in
order
to
provide
more
access.
J
Certainly
you
know.
More
access
in
some
respects
is
always
a
beneficial
thing
in
in
some
areas
in
terms
of
circulation.
It
also
in
this
case,
would
take
away
from
some
of
the
green
and
open
space
that
is
in
the
limited
amount
that
is
available
on
this
site.
J
So,
in
terms
of,
I
don't
think
any
of
the
site
plans
we
discussed
had
only
access
to
east
adia
street
because
certainly
they're
trying
to
gain
access
down
another
underground
parking
garage,
but
I
believe
that
there
was
a
concept
that
we
looked
at
that
did
provide
a
road
roadway
around
the
west
side
of
the
building
and
kind
of
swapping
the
l.
If
you
will
to
have
the
wing
on
the
old
cedar
side,
all
the
issues
you
identified,
I
sympathizer.
J
I
think
you
know
I
don't
know
what
the
specifically
the
traffic
staff
or
mndot
or
others
met
council
does
in
terms
of
communication
or
education
to
surrounding
business
owners,
but
certainly
all
the
residents
of
this
building
should
it
be
developed,
need
to
understand
that
this
is
a
bike
path
and
that
there's
always
the
opportunity
for
bikers
to
be
present.
There
are
some
things
from
the
design
side
of
things
you
can
do
in
order
to
maximize
visibility.
J
Certainly,
you
don't
want
to
see
any
tall
plantings
in
the
vision
triangles
near
the
driveway,
and
so
what
they're,
showing
there
now
is
just
low-lying
shrubs
but
yeah.
I
it's
a
tough
issue
and
I
agree
with
you
that
I
think
that
there's
you
know
up
and
down
that
corridor,
there's
a
number
of
different
driveways
and
whenever
you're
trying
to
get
that
type
of
facility
in
a
you
know
a
highly
utilized
corridor,
not
that
it
has
the
highest
volumes
or
trip
counts
in
bloomington
by
any
means,
but
still
it
can
present
a
risk.
B
I
would
echo
commissioner
abdi's
observation
part
of
the
problem
over
there.
We
too
use
that
clinic
with
our
children
and
is
perhaps
the
design
of
the
trail
when
it
was
built
where
it
crosses
driveways.
It
doesn't
appear
to
be
a
trail.
It
looks
an
awful
lot
like
a
sidewalk
or
a
driveway,
and
so
I
don't
know
that
we
necessarily
have
a
condition
of
anything
like
that.
B
But
you
know
if
the
trail
in
general
may
need
some
sort
of
paint
or
something
in
a
long-term
change
too,
because
I've
had
that
same
experiences,
as
commissioner
abdi
has,
where
you
suddenly
you're
trying
to
exit-
and
you
realize
you're
in
a
path
that
is
shared
so
again,
just
a
bigger
design
question
to
think
about,
as
our
trails
are
maintained-
and
I
think
this
one
is
a
part
of
the-
I
don't
know
who
owns
this
one,
if
it's
three
rivers
or
who,
but
that's
for
another
topic.
I
suppose
commissioner
cookton.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
mr
johnson,
when
we
approved
the
townhome
development,
I
believe
it's
at
10
and
86.
G
J
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
and
secondary
access
is
always-
and
forgive
me,
chairman,
roman
push
cook
down
secondary
access
is
always
a
a
beneficial
design,
particularly
for
you
know
that
driveway
extends
many
hundred
feet
into
that
development.
So,
even
in
a
scenario
where
you
have
the
driveway
going
extended
difference,
it's
even
more
important
to
get
that
out
of
there,
but
no
you're
not
incorrect.
In
looking
at
that.
J
This
site
plan
does
not
offer
a
secondary
axis
on
a
way
out
of
the
development
and
the
fire
code,
and
some
of
the
things
that
govern
this
have
a
little
bit
more
discretion,
they're
more
similar
to
the
building
code
than
say
the
zoning
code.
The
planning
manager
has
very
limited
discretion
in
terms
of
where
to
vary
off
the
base
standard
of
of
the
zoning
code.
J
You
know
there
certainly
is
variances
and
there's
flexibility
which
are
permitted
in
your
ordinance,
but
the
planning
manager
is
not
in
a
an
official
similar
to
the
building
official
or
the
fire
marshal
has
the
ability
to
use
any
discretion
in
terms
of
how
the
building
code
and
the
fire
code
work.
In
this
regard,
there
are
different
occupancies
and
some
of
them
where
it's
a
must.
You
must
have
access
all
around
the
building
and
some
of
them
are
a
should.
J
If,
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
should
this
property
have
secondary
access,
it
would
certainly
be
beneficial
from
a
a
fire
emergency
response
standpoint,
as
well
as
a
circulation
standpoint.
That
being
said,
when
you're
developing
a
smaller,
more
constrained
site,
it
is
it's
going
to
take
away
from
some
of
the
other
limited
amenities
that
the
site
can
offer
in
terms
of
the
green
space
or
area.
That's
available,
that's
not
impervious
surface.
J
There
is
some
discretion
again.
I
don't
think
this
is
the
the
most
preferable
option
for
to
solve
that
question,
but
at
the
same
time,
there's
a
whole
bevy
of
different
issues
here
at
play.
That
kind
of
represent
competing
interests
if
you
will-
and
so
this
is
a
this-
is
a
development
application
where
the
city
has
to
make
choices.
G
E
Yes,
mr
chair,
just
quickly,
mr
johnson,
when
I
was
reading
the
report
and
the
comment
we
received
from
the
transportation
about
the
freeway
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation,
you
did
mention
that
the
heights
was
changed
by
them.
Removing
the
balcony
or
the
top
outdoor
seating
that
they
had
proposed
was
there
as
part
of
the
proposal.
Was
there
an
alternative
draft
plan
that
was
discussed
of
a
taller
building
slightly
narrower
to
allow
for
a
secondary.
E
Deviation
of
the
parking
access
and
entrance
and
exits
to
the
site,
I
know
the
site
is
very
unique
in
its
sense
of
just
how
it's
placed
and
just
the
use
to
the
west
side.
So
I'm
sensitive
to
that,
but
I
guess
with
noise.
I
know
it's
at
the
applicant's
expense
to
mitigate
the
noise
and
not
the
responsibility.
E
E
Yes,
thank
you.
Were
they
saying
if
I
understood
that
correctly,
regarding
the
noise
one,
were
they
saying
that
they,
the
applicant,
should
redesign
to
eliminate
potential
noise
concerns?
And
if
I
were
to
drive
on
77
looking
to
this
site,
would
I
see
the
building?
Obviously
I
would
see
it
because
I'm
assuming
the
freeway
is
taller
than
the
buildings.
Where
would
the
buildings
be
taller
than
the
freeway?
Does
that
make
sense.
J
Yes,
yeah
chairman
roman
commissioner
abdi
all
good
questions
on
the
particular
mndot
issue.
J
There
was
generations
where
they,
you
know
generations
ago,
where
they
did
development
near
highways
and
they
had
obviously
a
lot
of
noise
complaints
and
so
mndot
and
other
transportation
entities
have
a
sensitivity
towards
that,
because
they've
had
to
provide
mitigation
or
do
projects
on
the
basis
of
noise
mitigation
for
certain
types
of
land
uses
and
residential,
certainly
being
one
of
them.
One
way
that
the
development
community
has
responded
to
that
is,
they
have
put
in
place
higher
rated
windows
and
other
types
of
construction
that
mitigate
that
noise.
J
But
what
they're
saying
is
that
be
thoughtful
about
the
types
of
materials
that
you
utilize
to
construct
this
building,
because,
ultimately,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
mndot
is
not
going
to
be
responsible
for
noise
mitigation
for
the
residents
in
terms
of
you
know,
doing
a
a
taller
building.
I
think
that
maybe
the
the
project
developer
or
his
architect
might
be
able
to
kind
of
answer
that
question,
maybe
a
little
better
than
I.
J
But
what
I
could
say
is
my
guess
is
that
on
a
project
that
has
a
very
challenging
and
diverse
financing
structure,
my
guess
is
that
the
taller,
the
building
you're
going
to
go
you're
going
to
have
to
implement
some
other
construction
methods
that
are
going
to
be
more
costly
and
every
dollar
that
goes
towards
that
is
going
to
take
away
from
their
ability
to
provide
more
units
that
are
affordable,
particularly
at
higher
levels
of
affordability.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Mr
johnson,
as
you
talk
about
the
units
and
affordability,
would
you
mind
elaborating
a
little
bit
more
on
in
explaining
a
little
bit
more
to
me
the
process
of
on
the
process
of
selecting
the
number
of
units
according
and
deciding
how
many
bedrooms
they
would
have
like?
If
you
have,
you
know,
if
you're
talking
about
one
bedroom
unit
being
29
units
and
then
27
for
two
bedrooms
and
then
12
or
three
bedrooms,
how
do
you
or
what
is
the
process
that
leads
you
to
decide
on?
J
I
do
yeah,
I
think
so,
thank
you,
commissioner,
carmen
and
chairman
roman.
If
I
can
attempt
to
answer
that
question,
I
I
welcome
the
the
applicant
to
maybe
speak
to
that
as
well,
but
ultimately,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
you
know
these
these
competitive
grant
and
app
and
tax
credit
and
other
application
processes.
J
Ultimately,
what
you're,
trying
to
succeed
or
get
the
award
is
present
the
most
competitive
application
that
fits
the
greatest,
affordable
need,
and
so,
if
you're,
trying
to
achieve
a
particular
financing
source
that
wants
to
see
more,
you
know
family
or
more
multiple
bedroom
units,
then
you're
going
to
program
that
into
your
development.
If
that's
something
that's
critical
to
you
achieving
that
financing
other
than
that
I
mean,
I
would
think
on
the
basic
level
that
you
probably
are
shooting
to
have
a
broader
mix
of
unit
types
within
your
building.
J
So
I
think
what
you
see
in
this
one
is
that,
as
you
said,
the
majority
are
one
and
two
bedroom,
but
there
are
provisions
for
three
bedroom
units,
and
so
I
think
that
it's
probably
a
complex
puzzle
from
a
financing
standpoint
of
we
can
achieve
these
rents
with
these
types
of
units
versus
other
types
of
units,
and
we
also
want
to
mix,
and
we
have
to
try
and
get
the
actual
financing
in
place,
and
you
know
I
just
from
being
around
some
other
of
these
similar
types
of
projects.
J
I
think
that
they
want
to
see
more
three
bedroom
units
programmed
into
these
developments,
certainly
because
they
serve
families.
Of
course,.
K
Yeah,
thank
you
apologize,
my
video's
not
working,
but
this
is
paul
keenan
from
reuter
walton,
thanks
nick.
That
was
a
very
thorough
presentation,
just
a
little
bit
about
our
company.
This
will
be
our
32nd
ground
up
development.
We're
a
twin
cities
based
developer.
We've
done
a
lot
of
our
work
in
minneapolis
and
st
paul
on
sort
of
tight
urban
sites
like
this.
So
it's
something
we're
familiar
with.
K
This
will
be
our
second
affordable
housing
project.
We've
closed
in
about
the
last
six
months.
We
just
are
under
construction
in
st
paul
on
a
243
units
project
on
a
light
rail
stop
and
so
we're
excited
about
this
project
because
it
we
really
are
trying
to
connect
working
families
to
jobs
into
transit,
and
so
just
some
questions
about
how
we
pick
unit
sizes.
We
are
we
envision.
K
You
know
single
parent
households
with
minor
children
in
a
complex
like
this,
we're
trying
to
provide
larger
units
and
then
connect
that
tenant
to
job
opportunities
and
transit
opportunities
to
kind
of
fix
their
as
much
as
we
can
fix
their
monthly
housing
and
transit
costs.
K
I
do
have
colin
koss
and
griffin
jamison
from
cos
wilson.
Architects
on
the
call
with
us
too,
if
there
are
certain
design
questions,
but
we're
really
excited
about
the
project
and
thanks
again
for
hosting
us
tonight
and
I'm
available
for
any
other
questions
that
you
have.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
So,
mr
keenan,
could
you
just
I
know
you
you
know
mr
johnson
talked
about
all
the
different
aspects
of
the
units
and
the
amenities
and
stuff,
but
could
you
summarize
as
the
applicant?
If
I
I
have
a
family
with
school
age,
children.
F
How
do
I
or
what
would
make
me
decide
what
what's
in
that
in
this,
that
would
make
me
decide
to
use
one
of
those
units.
K
Sure,
thank
you.
You
know
a
lot
of
it
is
going
to
be
the
rent,
and
so
we
are
going
to
have
you
know
a
discount
to
the
market
rate
rent.
That's
probably
a
few
hundred
dollars
per
month
within
our
units,
we're
going
to
have
washer
dryers
in
unit
we've
also
set
up
amenities,
such
as
a
computer
lab
for
kids
that
need
to
do
homework
or
for
people
working
at
home
that
need
to
take
a
zoom
meeting
out
of
their
apartment.
K
We've
set
up
a
separate
area
for
that.
On
our
first
floor,
we
have
a
fitness
center.
We
have
a
community
room
to
host
larger
family
dinners
with
that
connects
to
our
outdoor
patio
and
then
we're
in
conversations
about
adding
a
tot
lot
to
the
very
northwest
corner
of
the
site,
where
we
would
extend
that
sidewalk
running
north
on
the
west
side
of
the
site,
further
north
and
and
fence
in
an
area
and
add
some
playground,
equipment
and
some
benches
and
things
like
that
for
people
to
get
outside.
B
Seeing
none
would
open
the
public
hearing,
mr
marker
guard,
do
we
have
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
on
this
item.
A
B
Okay,
seeing
no
callers
no
one
present
and
the
only
item
we
received
was
the
comment
from
mndot.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing.
F
B
B
Discussion
I'll
say
that
I'm
again
pleased
to
see
us
making
some
more
progress
on
the
affordable
housing
issues.
Having
served
with
commissioner
corman
on
the
last
comprehensive
plan
update,
I
think
any
progress
we're
making
toward
our
2030
numbers
is
good,
because
our
2040
numbers
are
even
larger.
B
B
B
G
Cookson,
thank
you,
mr
chair
and
commissioner
robbie
yeah,
I'm
I'm
really
in
favor
of
this.
We
spoke.
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
our
last
meeting
or
the
one
prior
to
it,
about
affordable
housing
a
little
bit,
and
I
mentioned
that
I
may
have
a
disagreement
with
the
opera.
The
opportunity
housing
ordinance
in
that
you
know
the
opportunity.
Housing
ordinance
really
also
has
support
for
preservation
of
existing
affordable
housing,
which
I
think
is
good
in
concept.
G
But
the
reason
I
sort
of
am
more
in
favor
of
of
what
we're
seeing
here
is
it's
just
a
significant
difference.
I
think
we've
we're
taking
affordable
housing
and
we're
densifying
it.
So
you
get
more
units
per
acre
and,
if
you're
able
to
achieve
the
same
rent
levels
with
a
development
that
looks
like
this
versus
some
other
existing
affordable
housing,
which
is
very
low
density
and
not
providing
a
ton
of
other
benefits
to
the
neighborhood
or
its
own
residence.
G
As
far
as
amenities-
and
you
know
just
the
modern
things
our
code
requires
like
bike
racks
and
all
that
other
stuff
to
me,
I'm
much
more
as
a
commissioner
and
gravitate
towards
what
we're
seeing
here,
it's
sort
of
the
modern
take
on
affordable
housing.
It's
amenitized
it's
attractive
from
the
street.
It's
it's
it's
it's
densified,
so
we
can
get
more
people
there.
G
I'm
really
in
favor
of
applications
like
this,
and
I
appreciate
having
an
applicant,
that's
leveraged,
different
funding
sources
and
leveraged
our
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
to
make
this
work
from
a
financial
standpoint,
and
I
hope
we
see
more
of
it,
and
so
I'm
really
in
favor
of
it.
G
One
thing
I
maybe
am
not
so
in
favor
on
and
maybe
I
should
started
with
this-
I
don't
love
that
our
city
code
allows
balconies
to
be
used
for
open
space,
I'm
in
favor
of
that,
if
it's
available
to
all
residents,
but
I'm
struggling
to
find
the
merits
of
using
a
single
units
balcony
counted
towards
open
space
for
the
entire
development,
and
if
it
were
my
way
well
I'd
at
least
like
to
hear
an
explanation
of
that
at
some
point
and-
and
I
think
maybe
we
can
do
better
and
so
moving
forward-
maybe
that's
something
we
can
look
at,
but
certainly
not
going
to
stop
me
from
approving
this
development,
I'm
in
favor
of
it-
and
I
hope
we
see
more.
G
B
Thank
you,
commissioner
cookton
and
mr
margaret,
I
think,
as
I
made
a
note
of
that,
to
perhaps
look
at
when
we
get
to
our
miscellaneous
issues
in
the
fall.
Commissioner.
Abdi.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
do
appreciate
commissioner
cookton's
last
comment
about
open
space
and
the
the
usage
of
balconies,
considering
that
it's
not
open
to
the
entire
development
unit
on
site.
I,
as
I
said
I
live
a
few
blocks
from
the
site
at
this
site,
is
a
great
location.
I
was
worried
that
any
new
development
that
would
come
to
this
area
would
be
another
big
box
office
or
commercial
development.
E
You
know
we
don't
have
that
much
affordable
housing
in
this.
We
do
have
a
ton,
but
there
are
much
older
structures,
but
this
is
a
really
prominent
location
for
transit,
very
walkable
community,
very
safe
community,
and
we
don't
even
get
a
ton
of
airport
noise
very
few
occasion
and
when
it
comes
to
you
know
outdoor
play.
You
know,
the
huge
beautiful
park
is
only
a
few
blocks
from
this
side
where
the
kids
and
families
can
walk
on
the
bike
lane.
E
Unfortunately,
it
is
not
a
walkway,
I
I
don't
think
it
was
intended
to
be
a
sidewalk,
but
you
know
folks
use
it.
So
I
I
mean
definitely
in
favor
of
this
development
and
I
understand
the
uniqueness
of
the
site
and
and
very
appreciate
the
three
bedroom
development
site
and
it's
very
hard
to
find
in
the
metro
area.
So
I
appreciate
the
the
availabilities
of
a
three.
You
know
unit
development
right
at
this
location.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
too
struggle
with
the
open
space
counting
for
the
balcony
area,
given
that
I
will,
if
I
lived
in
a
different
union
unit,
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
use
that
balcony,
and
so
that
would
not
be
kind
of
considered
public,
in
my
opinion,
so
I
I
too
agree
with
that.
H
However,
I
I
understand
it
used
as
a
tool,
and
it
seems
like
this
is
a
really
great
use
of
the
site
in
support
of
the
project
overall,
but
I
do
want
to
comment
on
commissioner
cookman's
remarks
regarding
affordable
housing.
I
do
think
that
this
type
of
project
absolutely
is
a
great
amenity.
It
has
great
amenities,
but
I
do
think
that
existing
affordable
housing
provides
a
deeper
level
of
affordability
than
something
like
this.
H
Calculations
are
made
for
a
percent
ami
of
30
of
one's
income,
and
it's
rare
that
someone
actually
can
afford
that
amount
of
rent.
So
I
was
looking
at
those
runs
thinking
it's
near
what
I
pay
in
my
my
mortgage,
and
I
you
know,
I
don't
consider
myself,
you
know
eighty
percent
at
eighty
percent
or
a
hundred
percent
of
area
median
income.
So
I
think
you
know
the
level
of
affordability
I
appreciate,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
a
range
of
affordability.
H
This
is
a
great
project,
but
also
existing,
affordable
housing,
in
which,
I
think
is
what
I
believe
is
more
affordable
is
in
preservation
of
that
is
important
as
well.
So
I
like
this
project,
I
think
it's
a
great
use
of
the
space
I
think
the
amenity
of
having
the
bike
trail
there.
H
I
too
live
not
super
far
away,
but
I
I
bike
on
the
trail
frequently
and
I
walk
around
this
neighborhood
a
lot
with
my
dogs,
and
I
think,
as
mr
abdi
said,
it's
a
great
safe
area
and
walkable
and
and
will
be
a
great
addition
to
the
community.
F
F
There
is
one
thing
that
I
I
would
like
to
ask
the
applicant
as
this
moves
forward,
and
it's
something
I
had
mentioned
before
the
importance
of
working
together
with
families
who
might
be
interested
in
those
units,
as
you
have,
as
you
find
several
people
interested
in
those
working
together
with
families
to
facilitate
that
they
might
be
able
to
to
rent
those
those
units
just
because
of
the
importance
of
continuing
to
attract
more
families,
but
not
only
with
small
children
but
little
older
children.
F
You
know
school-aged
children,
and
this
is
also
for
for
staff
as
we
look
into
the
future
as
we
look
into
how
communities
change
in
how
this
pandemic
has
made
a
huge
impact
in
education,
things
might
not
look
the
same
10
20
years
from
now,
so
just
as
you're
planning
here,
you
might
be
end
up.
F
You
might
end
up
finding
a
lot
of
families
who
will
be
interested
in
renting
a
place
and
be
able
to
use
or
to
do
a
school
from
home,
as
we
can
see
that
many
people
will
be
probably
going
into
that
direction
after
this
pandemic,
not
necessarily
because
of
the
pandemic,
but
because
people
have
had
the
opportunity
to
experience
other
type
of
learning
models,
and
so,
if
that
is
the
case,
you
know
being
able
to
offer
those
the
possibility
for
families
to
to
be
at
a
place
where
they
feel
that
they
can
have
that
space
for
their
children
to
work
from
home
or
to
study
from
home.
F
And
I
love
the
fact
that
you
have
a
computer
lab
space
that
will
offer
that
type
of
opportunity
for
all
our
young
learners
and
that
you
might
have
in
your
in
your
place.
So
I
think
this
is
great
and
then
yeah
just
in
general.
You
know
the
fact
that
we
might
have
maybe
families
moving
in
there
with
the
small
children,
but
that
eventually
the
units
could
become
too
small
for
them
and
as
they
look
into
okay,
where
are
where
am?
F
I
gonna
go
now
with
my
family,
bringing
that
possibility
in
other
places
in
bloomington
where
later
on,
they
can
find
bigger
spaces
that
might
also
be
affordable.
So
I
don't
know
if
it's
that
affordable
necessarily
means
it
has
to
be
small
or
for
smaller
families,
but
I
think
we
also
need
to
be
mindful
of
that.
F
Not
for
this
specific
project,
of
course,
but
the
city
moves
forward
with
other
projects,
because
it
is
important
to
also
be
able
to
retain
those
families
that
will
have
their
first
experience
being
in
bloomington
and
having
the
opportunity
to
to
stay
here
and
to
continue
to
raise
their
families
yeah.
Thank
you.
I'm
in
favor,
thanks.
B
If
not,
we
have
another
several
motions
on
this
item.
If
anyone
would
oh
sorry,
commissioner,
goldstone,
oh.
D
D
B
B
B
Thank
you,
commissioner
goldsman.
Second,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
to
recommend
rezoning
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I,
commissioner,
goldsman
aye
commissioner
corman
hi,
commissioner
albrecht
aye.
B
B
D
B
B
Thank
you,
commissioner
cookton.
Second,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
recommend
approval
of
a
preliminary
and
final
plat
for
the
subject
property
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
buy
roll
call.
Commissioner
goldsman
aye,
commissioner
corman
aye,
commissioner
albrecht
aye,
commissioner
abdi
aye,
commissioner
cookton
hi,
and
I
for
myself
that
motion
is
advanced
6-0.
This
item
will
be
appear
on
the
april
19th
city
council
agenda
for
a
public
hearing.
B
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
tax,
increment
financing
proposal
for
the
property,
which
was
just
discussed,
a
reminder
that
the
role
of
the
planning
commission
is
to
find
whether
a
proposed
tax
increment
proposal
is
or
is
not
in
alignment
with
the
comprehensive
plan,
and
given
that
we
just
recommended
a
comprehensive
plan
amendment
for
this
project,
this
might
be
a
relatively
short
item.
Who
do
we
have
on
this
one?
Mr
margaret.
L
You
chair
chairman,
erica
coleman,
hra
administrator,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
share
my
screen
as
I
do
have
a
presentation.
J
L
All
right
great,
so
this
is
the
proposed
tax,
increment
financing,
a
housing
district
for
80,
12,
old
cedar
housing
project
and
so
tax
increment
financing,
which
is
a
method
of
capturing
tax
base,
growth
to
result
in
new
development
and
a
caveat
to
that
is
increment
capture
to
pay
for
public
cost
and
to
eligible
costs
related
to
the
development
opportunity
for
fixed
term
for
capture.
L
Then
the
new
development
capacity
is
added
to
the
existing
tax
base
and
then
property
owners
within
the
tif
districts
pay
taxes
like
all
property
owners,
and
so
how
the
to
value
growth
and
tax
sharing
goes
about
is
the
base
value
is
the
value
towards
the
left
bottom
of
the
screen
before
the
new
development.
L
Then
the
developer
continues
to
pay
taxes
on
a
total
property
value.
The
taxes
calculated
based
on
the
are
based
on
the
base
value,
get
paid
to
all
taxing
agencies,
so
city,
county,
school
district
and
other
taxing
jurisdictions,
and
then
the
tax
increment.
The
tax
is
paid
on
a
new
property
value
which
is
captured.
L
This
pays
for
tiff
eligible
cost
of
the
project
and
then
after
tif
district
termination,
which
we
have
a
term
of
about
26
years
of
26
years,
we
use
all
taxes
paid,
go
to
taxing
agencies,
and
so
the
sanctuary
findings
to
approve
a
test
district
are
pursuant
to
minnesota
statutes.
L
L
This
project,
in
particular,
is
that
the
tif
plant
conforms
to
general
plans
for
the
development
of
the
city
as
a
whole,
and
so
here
is
the
the
district
here
where
my
cursor
is
that
we
are
proposing
the
tif
district
and
redevelopment
boundary
project
boundary
for
80
12
old
cedar.
L
But
then
I
wanted
to
show
you
just
because
I'm
a
visual
person,
the
proximity
to
other
things
around
other
amenities,
excuse
me
around
where
the
development
would
be
and
how
close
it
is
to
amenities
within
the
area
which
you
have
heard
previously
in
previous
presentations
and
so
financing
consideration
of
the
housing
district
district.
L
We
are
proposing
a
pago
tiff
note
of
1.353
million
dollars
with
a
3.75
interest
rate.
In
addition
to
that,
there
is
application
for
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
loan
of
975
thousand
dollars
with
a
3
to
3.25
percent
interest
rate.
L
Again
this
is
a
100,
affordable
project
at
or
below
60
ami,
with
21
of
the
units
being
affordable
at
or
below
50
inclusive
of
six
units
at
30
ami.
So
we
just
highlight
that
considering
the
public
investment
requested,
and
so
in
terms
of
the
planning
commission,
the
question
to
be
answered
is:
does
the
plan
conform
to
general
plans
for
development
of
the
city
as
a
whole,
and
so,
in
order
to
seek
to
free
assistance,
the
project
will
need
to
conform
to
the
following
requirements.
L
No
more
than
20
of
the
total
square
footage
can
be
used
for
non-residential
uses
and
then
affordable
units
and
it's
an
either
it's
an
ore
situation.
So
it's
either
20
of
the
units
occupied
by
tits
at
50
percent,
ami
or
less
or
at
least
40
percent
of
the
units
occupied
by
tenants
at
60
percent
ami
or
less.
L
For
this
development,
in
particular,
with
the
approval
of
the
11
million
dollar
bond
award
from
minnesota
management
and
budget,
they
are
at
least
40
percent
of
the
units
occupied
by
tenants
at
60
percent,
ami
or
less,
and
so
looking
at
the
comprehensive
plan
forward.
2040
in
particular
goal
number
two
provide
a
range
of
housing
choices.
This
project
meets
strategy,
2.2
identify
locations
and
opportunities
for
new
housing
and
mix,
use
developments
and
then
goal
three
provide
affordable
housing
to
serve
local
demand.
L
It
meets
both
strategy,
3.2
pursue
multiple
methods
to
reduce
housing
costs
and
3.3
work
toward
reaching
regional
allocation
of
842
additional
units
affordable
to
51,
to
80,
ami
31
to
50
and
less
than
30
percent,
and
so
with
the
60
and
below
it's
meeting
all
of
those
in
strategy.
3.3
next
steps
on
april
19th,
the
city
council
will
also
have
a
public
hearing
and
consider
the
action
for
this
project
for
the
tif
plan.
Excuse
me
and
april
27th.
The
hra
will
consider
action
on
tiff
plan,
tiff
district
and
the
tiff
agreement.
L
And
so
this
is
the
recommended
approval
that
staff
has
which
was
recommended
to
adopt
the
resolution
attached
in
the
report,
the
staff
report
for
the
redevelopment
plan
for
the
project
area
and
then
I
can
stand
for
any
questions.
If
there
are
any
questions
chairman.
B
B
Seeing
none,
mr
margaret
I'll
call
an
audible
here.
This
is
a
public
hearing
or
it's
not
a
public
hearing.
It.
B
Hearing
so
seeing
no
questions
for
staff.
Any
discussion
on
this
item.
D
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
think
just
a
general
comment
is:
I
think
that
the
funding
sources
of
this
project
makes
sense
and
and
seeing
tiff
presentations
in
the
past.
I
now
understand
what
the
incremental
value
and
taxation
really
means.
So
I
think
overall
it
makes
sense
and
I'll
be
in
supportive
of
this.
B
I
do
agree
with
the
the
observations
that
miss
coleman
presented
with
as
far
as
alignment
with
the
comprehensive
plan
worked
on
that
for
a
while
and
find
this
to
be
consistent
as
well,
and
then
with
our
recent
reguiding.
I
think
this
is
pretty
straightforward
for
me,
so
if
any
other
discussion
or
if
anyone
would
like
to
make
a
motion,
commissioner
cookton.
B
E
B
B
H
B
D
F
F
B
Commissioner,
abdi
hi,
commissioner
cookton
hi,
and
I
myself
that
is
501
adopted
the
next
meeting
of
the
planning
commission
is
april.
15Th
and
that
concludes
the
regular
business
this
evening
and
I'll.

a

as
