Description
Planning Commission Meeting
A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
november
18th
bloomington
planning
commission
meeting,
the
planning
commission
advises
the
city
council
on
development
proposals,
development
standards,
long-range
planning
and
transportation
issues
some
items.
The
planning
commission
has
the
final
decision
authority
on
and
others
the
city
council
will
make
the
final
decision.
A
The
planning
commission
is
made
up
of
seven
volunteers
that
are
appointed
by
the
city
council
to
serve
for
up
to
three
years.
At
a
time
for
a
total
or
a
maximum
of
six
tonight,
it
looks
like
we
have
six
of
the
seven
with
us,
so
we
do
have
a
quorum
and
we
have
four
items
on
our
agenda
tonight.
But
before
we
begin,
let's
go
ahead
and
stand
and
say
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
A
B
B
A
Commission
members,
we
are
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
and
allow
anybody
that
may
have
tried
to
join
us
online
or
in
the
room
to
be
able
to
comment
on
the
item
and
then
once
that
has
transpired,
we'll
go
ahead
and
continue
or
hold
open
the
public
hearing
until
the
december
16th
planning
commission
meeting,
which
the
applicant
requested.
So
with
that
mr
marker
guard,
is
there
anybody
online
at
this
time?
That
would
like
to
speak
to
item
number
one.
A
A
A
All
right
and
seeing
nobody
in
the
chambers
at
this
point
that
would
like
to
speak
to
the
item.
I
would
like
to
give
folks
online,
potentially
just
a
a
minute
or
so
here,
if
they're
trying
to
call
in
because
we're
getting
to
this
very
quick
before
we
continue
the
meeting.
So
at
that
I'll.
We'll
just
wait
here,
a
minute.
A
A
A
C
A
C
A
All
right,
we
have
a
second
from
commissioner
goltzman,
all
right.
Commission
members,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
move
to
hold
open
the
public
hearing
and
continue
item
case
pl
2021-182
to
the
december
16
2021
planning
commission
meeting
any
further
discussion
on
that
item,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
by
roll
call.
Commissioner
goldsman
hi,
commissioner
corman
aye,
commissioner
roman
aye,
commissioner
albrecht
aye,
commissioner
cookton.
B
A
B
A
D
D
All
right,
then,
with
that
I
just
wanted
to
note
for
the
record
that
the
firm
I
work
for
has
an
established
on-call
structural
engineering
services
contract
with
the
city
of
bloomington.
That
generally
would
be
for
small
items
and
being
with
what
we're
being
asked
to
do
tonight.
I
don't
think
there's
a
conflict
of
interest,
but
I
did
just
want
to
note
that
I
think
if
you
connected
enough
dots,
I
could
be
connected
to
an
item
or
two
within
this
in
the
cip,
but
it's
nothing
where
I
believe
there's
a
conflict
of
interest.
A
A
Again,
I
think
I'll
just
go
back
to
again.
Previous
years,
we
have
reviewed
the
10-year
capital
improvement
plan
for
compliance
and
generally,
this
is
what
we
find
every
year
is
very
little
for
comments
after
staff
reviewing
it
and
seeing
that
it
does
is
in
compliance
with
the
bloomington
comprehensive
pan
plan.
Again,
there
tends
to
be
very
little
for
comment
so
with
that
commission
members,
I
would
entertain
a
a,
I
guess,
an
approval
of
the
resolution.
As
you
see
in
front
of
you.
C
A
All
right,
thank
you.
We
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
albrecht
in
the
second
by
commissioner
corman
to
move
to
approve
the
resolution
attached
to
the
packet
finding
that
the
combined
10-year
capital
improvement
plan,
22
2022
to
2031
capital
improvement
plan
is
in
compliance
with
the
bloomington
comprehensive
plan.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
that?
C
D
A
And
I
for
myself
that
moves
forward
that
resolution,
I
believe
I
will
sign
it
tonight.
Thank
you.
Moving
forward.
Our
next
item
item
number,
four
on
the
agenda
for
us
tonight:
planning
commission
members
just
consider
draft
approval
or
approval
of
the
draft
planning
commission
synopsis
from
october
7th
of
this
year,
and
I
will
just
note
that.
A
C
A
C
A
B
Sure
mr
chair,
commissioner,
is
looking
forward
to
our
next
two
planning
commission
meetings
december
2nd
is
the
next
meeting
and
on
that
agenda
we
have
our
annual
planning
commission
work
plan
for
2022
and
then
a
study
item
on
residential
livability
standards
and
then
looking
forward
a
month
out
december
16th.
We
have
the
south
town
item
that
was
continued
from
tonight's
agenda
and
then
a
privately
initiated
city
code
amendment
and
then
finally,
a
conditional
use
permit
for
a
kids
empire
at
valley,
west
shopping
center.
A
D
D
So,
just
a
few
items
on
my
list
of
things,
I'm
thinking
about,
are
possibly
a
status
update
on
some
of
the
various
projects
that
are
happening
in
south
loop.
Maybe
an
update
on
some
of
the
vacant
sites
we're
seeing
we're
also
aware
of
a
possible
expo
coming
to
south
loop,
but
that
would
be
interesting
to
hear
about
a
few
other
things.
D
The
another
item
I'd
like
to
add
to
that
is
maybe
just
a
discussion,
an
open
discussion
from
the
planning
commission
on
how
we
think
recent
developments
is
conforming
to
our
vision
for
south
loop,
particularly
around
bloomington
central
station
and
nearby
areas.
We've
seen
a
lot
of
development
in
the
last
couple
years.
It
would
be
good
for
us
to
sort
of
check
in
with
the
vision
for
the
district
and
how
the
recent
development
is
going
and
whether
we
think,
as
staff
gets
ready
to
update
that
district
plan.
Whether
we
want
to
think
about
changing.
B
D
D
I
do
so
a
second
item.
I'd
like
city
to
the
city
to
think
about.
There
was
a
lot
of
media
attention
last
week
about
the
state
of
minnesota,
possibly
legalizing
sports
gambling
in
the
state
of
minnesota,
and
we
don't
know
if
that
would
be
allowed
off
reservation
or
whether
that
legislation
would
pass.
But
I
would
be
interested
in
making
sure
that
the
city
of
bloomington
is
prepared
for
that
from
a
zoning
perspective
and
other
things.
If
that
legislation
were
to
pass.
D
I
think
bloomington
is
a
very
strong
candidate
for
a
future
sports
book
if
they're
allowed
off
reservation
and
where
my
head
is
at
is
that
I
want
us
to
be
ready.
So
if
that
legislation
were
to
pass,
we
are
a
frontrunner
and
prepared
to
go
and
not
starting
from
behind
as
far
as
zoning
and
other
things
that
maybe
aren't
related
to
planning
like
licensing
and
other
things,
so
I'll
leave
that
a
bit
open-ended
for
staff
to
sort
of
prepare
as
they
see
fit
and
what
they
have
time
for.
