Description
Planning Commission Meeting
A
Good
evening
good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
may
27th
bloomington
planning
commission
meeting,
the
planning
commission
advises
the
city
council
on
development
proposals,
development
standards,
long-range
planning
and
transportation
issues.
Some
of
the
items
the
planning
commission
has
final
authority.
Others
the
city
council,
will
make
the
final
decision.
A
The
planning
commission
is
made
up
of
seven
volunteers
who
serve
for
up
to
three
years
at
a
time
and
tonight
all
seven
commissioners
are
with
us,
so
we
have
a
quorum
and
tonight
we
have
two
items
on
our
agenda,
but
before
we
begin
tonight,
we'll
stand
and
say
the
pledge
of
allegiance
all
rise.
Please
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands.
A
B
Yes,
thank
you
chair.
It's
hard
to
believe,
but
glendon
reminded
me.
This
is
the
28th
remote
planning
commission
meeting
and
hopefully
that's
nearing
to
an
end,
but
we
may
reach
30
and,
and
that
would
be
a
nice
even
number.
If
you
want
to
testify
tonight,
you
could
call
or
even
listen
to
it
on
phone
call.
B
1-888-742-5095
enter
the
conference
code.
That's
listed
on
this
screen,
followed
by
pound
you'll,
be
taken
to
the
operator.
Who
will
ask
you
at
some
point
if
you
want
to
speak
on
this
item
other
than
that
this
will
be
scrolling
on
the
webex,
but
it
will
not
be
scrolling
on
youtube
if
you're
watching
on
youtube
ready
to
go.
A
A
Then
we
usually
give
an
opportunity
for
the
applicant
to
discuss
or
add
any
additional
items
and
then
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
to
which
the
public
may
direct
questions
to
the
planning.
Commission
planning
commission
may
take
those
questions
and
direct
additional
information
from
staff
or
the
applicant
depending
upon
the
planning
commission's
thoughts
and
needs
on
that.
A
And
then,
after
that,
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
into
discussion
and
a
decision
so
and
as
usual
for
most
entities,
we,
the
number
of
applicants
will
or
the
number
of
public
will
help
determine
kind
of
the
process.
Generally,
we
would
stay
with
about
a
three
minute
limit
for
each
person
from
the
public
to
speak
before
giving
up
the
the
opportunity
to
the
next
person
once
we've
gotten
through
everybody,
we'll
go
back
and
finish
with
any
additional
comments,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
we
get
everybody
a
chance
to
speak.
A
C
C
The
address
is
1321
american
boulevard
east.
The
site
is
just
east
of
american
boulevard
and
12th
avenue.
Intersection
surrounding
uses
include
residential
other
office
buildings
and
a
hotel
caring
hands.
The
tenant
name
would
occupy
approximately
4
700
square
feet
of
the
fifty
five
thousand
square
foot
total
area
between
two
buildings,
the
site.
The
space
would
be
located
in
the
center
of
the
northern
building,
highlighted
in
yellow
on
my
screen,
then
there's
a
photo
of
the
building
from
the
street
view,
so
you
can
get
an
idea
of
the
existing
site.
C
The
applicants
stated
they
generally
serve
30
individuals,
but
would
like
to
serve
up
to
60
individuals
with
five
staff
members.
They
previously
occupied
a
space
at
80,
40,
old,
cedar
avenue
in
bloomington
and
are
relocating
to
the
subject.
Property
hours
of
operation
are
from
8
30
to
4
30
pm
here
are
the
submitted
plans
caring
hands.
They
would
have
areas
for
socialization
food
distribution,
office
and
conference
rooms.
No
on-site
food
preparation
would
occur
on-site,
but
they
would
have
catered
meals.
C
The
applicant
is
required
to
submit
an
environmental
health
plan
review
application,
so
they
can
review
the
food
distribution
area
and
catering
plan
and
then
lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
touch
on
a
few
miscellaneous
items.
The
parking
is
compliant
as
the
required
parking
for
the
daycare
use
is
less
than
the
previous
office
use.
C
Daycare
uses
don't
generally
generate
a
high
parking
demand,
and
the
applicant
has
mentioned
that
the
daycare
users
would
be
primarily
dropped
off
and
picked
up
by
their
staff
and
then,
as
stated
earlier,
the
hours
of
operation
are
from
8
30
to
4
30,
because
the
use
is
not
in
operation
in
the
early
morning
or
evening
hours.
Lighting
compliance
is
not
required
at
this
time,
so
staff
is
recommending
a
condition
that
the
hours
of
operation
is
limited
to
7,
30,
to
5
pm,
to
allow
staff
to
open
and
close
for
business.
C
Lastly,
many
trees
and
shrubs
have
been
removed
over
time,
so
revised
landscaping
plan
must
be
reviewed
to
show
the
new
material
and
that
must
be
submitted
prior
to
building
permit
issuance.
We
are
recommending
approval
on
this
item.
I
have
not
received
any
correspondence
on
this
item,
I'm
here
for
questions,
and
I
know
that
the
applicant
of
caring
hands
abdi
ahmed
and
I
think,
kerry
kendall
should
be
on
the
call
for
questions
as
well.
A
E
E
B
A
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
p's
appreciate
that
this
additional
piece
of
information,
all
right,
commission
members,
not
seeing
any
questions.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
tonight
abdi
ahmed
to
provide
any
additional
information,
but
I
think
at
this
point
we
will
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
Mr
p's,
is
there
anybody
from
the
public
that
would
like
to
speak
to
this
item.
A
F
A
Commissioner
corman
aye
commissioner
roman
aye,
commissioner
albrecht
aye
commissioner
abdi
hi,
commissioner
cookton
hi
all
right
all
right.
We
and
we
got
the
applicant
to
say
aye
as
well,
so
we're
we're
in
good
shape
here
tonight
for
closing
the
public
hearing
all
right.
Commission
members
is
there
discussion
on
the
item
in
front
of
us,
commissioner,
albrecht.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
It
seems
fairly
straightforward
good
to
hear
from
mr
pease
that
this
operator
has
had
zero
issues
in
their
current
site
and
happy
to
hear
that
they're
sticking
in
staying
in
bloomington
and
able
to
serve
30
additional
folks,
hopefully
from
the
community.
So
I
am
in
support.
Thank
you.
A
D
And
thank
you,
mr
chair
and
kspl2021-84.
Having
been
able
to
make
the
required
findings,
I
moved
to
adopt
a
resolution
approving
a
conditional
use
permit
for
an
adult
daycare
serving
up
to
60
individuals
in
an
existing
multi,
multiple
tenant
building
at
1321
american
boulevard
east,
subject
to
the
conditions
and
code
requirements
attached
to
the
staff
report.
A
F
A
All
right,
commission
members,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
in
front
of
us
to
adopt
a
resolution
approving
a
conditional
use
permit
for
an
adult
daycare
serving
up
to
60
individuals
in
an
existing
multiple
tenant
building
at
1321
american
boulevard
east,
subject
to
the
condition,
conditions
and
code
requirements
attached
to
the
staff
report.
Is
there
any
further
discussion,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
by
roll
call?
Commissioner
goldsman.
A
A
And
I
for
myself,
the
motion
passes.
Let's
see,
this
item
is
a
final
decision
unless
an
appeal
is
received
by
4
30
on
june,
2nd
all
right
again,
that's
a
final
decision
lesson
appeals
received
by
4
30
on
june,
2nd
moving
on
to
item
number
two
and
our
final
item
for
the
night.
I
believe
we
have
a
final
site
and
building
revision
to
convert
shared
space
within
an
existing
apartment
building
and
mr
james,
you
have
the
staff
report
for
us.
G
G
The
site
is
located
on
the
very
eastern
edge
of
the
normandale
lake
district
plan.
It's
boarded
by
single-family
residential
to
the
south
and
east
immediately
southeast
there's
another
multi-family
residential
building,
as
well
as
well
as
multi-family
just
to
the
north,
and
then
we
have
more
commercial
retail
services
to
the
west.
G
G
So
some
of
the
standards
we'll
look
at
are
you
know
minimum
unit
size
open
space
for
that
new
unit
parking
for
the
new
unit
and
then
storage
space
to
outside
of
the
unit
is
required.
However,
this
one's
a
little
unique
because
we
require
storage
space
just
for
the
new
unit.
However,
the
other
units
do
not
have
to
come
into
conformance
with
that
storage
space
outside
of
the
unit
requirement
and
they
don't
because
there's
not
that
expansion
of
floor
area.
G
So
usually,
if,
if
the
floor
area
expands
by
25
or
greater,
then
it
would
trigger
some
of
these
additional
standards.
So
that's
you
know
solid
waste
and
recycling
area
for
the
whole
building,
light
landscaping
and
lighting
as
well
as
sprinkler
systems,
and
I
guess
just
a
quick
note
on
that.
The
garage
is
sprinkler,
the
lower
level
garage,
but
the
units
themselves
are
not
and
the
state
code
does
not
require
that
which,
since
there's
no
floor
area
expansion.
G
G
A
H
Thank
you
chair
just
for
clarification
for
if
this,
considering
that
this
is
an
existing
building
apartment
building,
if
they
were
building
a
brand
new
building,
is
a
community
space
required
for
the
entire
apartment?
Is
that
generally
something
that
planning
policies
have
any
requirements
of?
I
know
we
do
have
regulations
for
unit
sizes
and
whatnot
that
you
listed,
but
generally
speaking,
if
somebody's
building
an
apartment,
building
or
taking
away
a
community
space
in
a
building
that
has
so
many
units.
G
B
Chairman
commissioner
abby
the
correct,
we
have
no
requirement
that
they
have
the
space-
oh
sean's
still
talking,
but
I
guess
I
don't
hear
him.
We
have
a
requirement
that
there
is
space.
However,
we
have
requirement
that
if
you
have
space
you
have
to
provide
extra
parking,
but
there's
no
requirement
to
have
this.
A
A
B
F
A
J
We
can
hear
you,
okay,
sorry,
that
I
was
on
apparently
double
mute.
My
headset,
as
well
as
the
the
webex
I
was
just
gonna,
say
that
we,
along
with
ralph,
myself
and
ralph,
have
been
supporting
the
applicant
to
to
work
through
the
the
planning
and
prepared
the
plans
that
you
looked
at
and,
as
mentioned,
it's
pretty
simple
in
terms
of
no
site
work
and
just
limiting
the
proposed
work
to
to
add
another
stall
in
the
underground
ramp
and
yeah.
That's
that's
about
it.
A
I
Yes,
that's
that's
correct
and
the
the
handicap
saw
probably
isn't
required,
but
since
there
was
room
there,
it
just
seemed
like
the
right
thing
to
do
so
we
were
able
to
the
ramp
eliminates
you
see
the
couple
steps
there
that
exist
now,
so
we
we
can
get
rid
of
the
steps
and
add
the
ram.
So
it
works
for
accessibility.
A
D
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
This
question
is
for
either
of
the
applicants
just
a
couple
questions
regarding
the
current
use
of
the
community
room.
It
looks
to
me,
via
the
plans
that
they,
it
was
sort
of
a
maybe
a
communal
kitchen
and
then
one
large
area,
maybe
a
sitting
area
curious
to
know
what
that
was
used
for
and
then
whether
or
not
you're,
you've
heard
or
you're
hearing
from
residents
in
the
building
regarding
eliminating
the
community
room.
Was
it
a
highly
used
amenity
in
the
building?
I
I
B
G
A
F
F
A
H
A
A
I
like
the
fact
that
the
facility
is
being
upgraded
for
ada
standards.
With
this
change.
I
think
the
question
to
add
a
additional
unit.
I
at
first
when
I
saw
the
application
I
kind
of
wondered
about
taking
away
the
community
room
and
what
else
was
changing
with
the
application,
but
I'm
reasonably
satisfied
that
the
applicant
knows
the
tenets
of
the
building
like
to
see
the
fact
that
we're
adding
additional
space
and
the
ada
accommodations
within
the
facility.
K
I
will
note
that,
in
my
opinion,
given
the
the
fact
that
we
don't
require
a
community
room
and
the
fact
that
the
parking
is
is
recorded
as
decreasing,
I
just
find
it's
probably
not
the
for
the
applicant's
sake
for
the
staff's
sake.
It's
probably
something
that
I
just
would
have
expected
could
have
been
handled
in
the
straight
early
so
as
we
think
about
some
of
these
things
in
the
future,
in
our
rules
of
procedure
or
our
our
code
type
things.
K
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
too
am
in
support.
I
think
this
is
fairly
straightforward
and
I
just
want
to
echo
commercial
roman's
sentiments
about
working
smarter,
not
harder.
I
too
think
this
probably
is
an
issue
that
could
be
handled
by
staff
again
very
straightforward,
decrease
in
parking
and
would
encourage
staff
to
to
look
into
how
we
could
potentially
make
things
a
little
a
little
more
efficient
in
that
way.
I
think
the
the
applicant
would
probably
appreciate
that
as
well.
A
A
H
A
All
right,
commission
members,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
in
front
of
us
to
make
the
required
finding
or
to
approve
a
final
site
and
building
plan
for
the
conversion
of
a
community
room
to
one
dwelling
unit
and
office
space
located
at
8301
stanley,
road
subject
to
the
conditions
and
code
requirements
attached
to
the
staff
report.
Is
there
any
further
discussion,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
by
roll
call?
Commissioner
goldsman.
F
A
A
Cookton
hi
and
I
for
myself
most,
that
is
in
unanimous
approval
and
again
this
is
a
final
decision
unless
an
appeal
is
received
by
4
30
p.m.
On
june,
2nd
I'll
say
that
again,
this
is
a
final
decision
unless
an
appeal
is
received
by
4
30
pm
on
june,
2nd
all
right
planning,
commission
members
seeing
no
further
items
on
our
agenda
tonight.
