That
mr.
manager
have
any
comments
you
want
to
make
on
this.
One.
B
B
A
B
Right,
thank
you.
That
brings
us
to
the
the
end
of
our
ordinances
and
first
considerations
and
we've
already
worked
through
the
consent
agenda.
This
brings
us
to
the
hearings.
There
are
items
again
35
through
56,
but
the
hearings
are
not
scheduled
to
open
till
5:00.
So
I
would
ask
us
all
to
let's
take
a
recess
till
five
o'clock
in
came.
Maybe
you
can
get
the
detail
on
that
item.
44.
Yes,.
A
So
that's
with
a
phone
you
hit
star
nine
to
raise
your
hand
on
the
computer,
it's
on
the
right,
it's
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
with
participants
and
then
the
right
raise
hand
on
the
right
hand,
side
the
lower
hand
is
the
same
button.
So
if
you
have
difficulty,
please
review
that
why
I
am
going
to
get
the
information
for
the
council
all.
G
B
G
H
G
Be
binding
on
the
owners
and
successors
heirs
and
assigns,
and
those
changes
include
that
any
assembly
of
persons
is
limited
to
300
persons
or
less
at
any
one
time.
The
assembly
uses
allowed
at
the
property
are
limited
to
events
and
I
want
to
read
all
of
them,
but
just
give
you
an
idea,
such
as
wedding
ceremonies,
reception,
celebrations
of
life,
graduation
receptions,
baby
showers,
engagement
parties,
anniversaries,
celebrations,
30
events,
signed
silent
and
live
auctions,
community
engagement
events,
cooking
classes,
religious
ceremonies
and
there's
a
there's.
G
A
listing
of
the
types
of
assembly
uses
that
would
be
permitted
and
paragraph
C
then
goes
on
to
limit
the
hours
of
operation
Sunday
through
Thursday,
8
a.m.
to
10
p.m.
and
Friday
through
Saturday,
8
a.m.
to
midnight,
but
public
holidays
and
the
Dave
scene.
Public
holidays
are
limited,
8
a.m.
to
midnight,
and
then
it
does
describe
out
what
the
public
holidays
are
traditional
public
holidays,
and
that's
that's.
Basically
what
the
corrected
item
is
and
the
clerk
will
have
that
out
to
everyone
shortly.
Ok,.
F
G
In
discussing
we
don't
generally
define
that
out.
Okay
I
thing
in
discussing
that
over
the
weekend
with
CV
staff,
it
was
determined
that
it
generally
means
that's.
When
the
event
has
to
be
concluded,
the
is
it
would
be
similar
to
a
restaurant
that
has
to
stop.
You
know
serving
alcohol
they'd
have
to
cease
their
activities,
but
it
wouldn't
prohibit.
You
know,
having
a
few
staff
in
there
to
clean
up
and
do
that
kind
of
work.
Is
it's
because
that
wasn't
deemed
to
be
operate
and
traditionally,
as
we
enforce
it,.
G
I
G
F
Actually,
actually
Jeff.
That
would
make
more
sense
to
me
that
it's
going
to
be
very
difficult
to
end
a
wedding
reception
at
10:30
on
Friday
or
Saturday
night
or
any
other
type
of
event.
So
that
does
make
much
more
sense
than
trying
to
push
everybody
out
of
there.
Midnight
is
much
more
feasible
and
is
there
still
a
mandatory
police
officer
that
will
be
there
during
the
events
when
there's
alcohol
being
served?
Is
that
listed
in
there
too,
but.
J
J
There
is
a
layer
where
there's
a
conditional
use
permit
in
this
process,
and
there
is
there's
been
discussion
broadly
about
a
good
neighbor
agreement,
and
so
it
would
be
helpful,
I
think
just
as
a
prior
to
the
conversation
just
to
help
get
on
the
same
page
at
those
pieces
and
what
items
are
considered
in
each
of
those
pieces
might
be
helpful
to
get
that
that
background,
because
I
think
that's
what
is
going
to
be
part
of
the
conversation.
Okay,
okay,.
K
K
This
particular
use
also
requires
a
conditional
use
permit
for
an
event
center,
and
it
also
requires
a
conditional
use
permit
for
beer
wine
and
liquor
sales
consumption
on
premises,
and
it
also
requires
a
conditional
use
permit
to
go
off
street
parking
within
a
flood
zone
so
to
be
used
in
this
manner
in
the
future.
Those
steps
remains
or
establishing
that
use
on
the
property,
the
conditions
you
know
the
Board
of
Adjustment
has
the
priority
to
put
any
additional
conditions.
K
They
feel
are
necessary
on
an
individual
use
on
any
one
of
those
three
conditional
use
permits
and
so
operational
type.
Things
that
aren't
use
or
aren't
I
would
say:
square-footage
limitations,
things
that
would
limit
right
now,
for
example,
an
event
center.
A
small
event
center
by
our
code
is
defined
as
up
to
2,000
seating
capacity.
Well,
so
it
would
be
appropriate
to
have
the
zoning
condition
then
maybe
to
limit
the
seating
capacity
in
the
facility,
which
is
I
believe
one
of
the
conditions
that's
been
presented.
K
The
hours
of
operation
in
a
commercial
zoning
district
are
generally
not
restricted,
and
so
putting
a
restriction
operation
would
be
in
a
we
believe
would
be
an
appropriate
zoning
condition
and
then
other
you
know
whether
it's
police
presence
or
whatever
else
those
are
things
that
typically
may
be
more
appropriate
to
a
conditional
use.
Permit
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
good
neighbor
agreements.
I
know
there
were
a
lot
of
things
that
people
requested
as
part
of
a
good
neighbor
agreement.
K
Those
have
historically
been
used
for
situations
where
there's
an
existing
business
say
an
existing
bar
or
a
restaurant.
That
already
has
a
conditional
use
permit,
or
maybe
maybe
it
went
into
existence
prior
to
us,
requiring
the
conditional
use
permit
from
the
Board
of
Adjustment,
so
they
already
have
an
existing
business.
K
So
the
the
good
neighbor
agreement
really
doesn't
run
with
the
land
like
zoning
conditions
or
conditional
use
permits.
Conditions
on
a
specific
use
would
carry
with
the
land.
So
we
believe
that
zoning
and
conditional
use
permits
limitations
are
the
appropriate
way
to
to
regulate
a
new
business
going
into
a
property.
F
So
Mike,
let
me
ask
you
this.
So
they've
got
a
so
we've
got
to
approve
this
and
and
then
they
have
to
go
and
get
other.
So
are
they
able
to
go,
get
all
those
other
approvals
from
the
Board
of
Adjustment
before
they
start
construction
start
or
are
we
going
to
have
them
construct
it
and
then
see
if
they
get
that.
K
Well,
to
have
a
permit
issued
for
a
event
center,
they
would
need
to
get
their
conditional
use
permits
from
the
Board
of
Adjustment
if
that
use
is
not
allowed
on
the
property.
If
somebody
just
wanted
to
build
a
spec
building
on
a
property,
the
you
know,
they
could
do
that,
but
they
couldn't
use
it
or
occupy
it
until
there
was
yeah.
F
K
K
F
Let
me
tell
you
for
just
enacting
a
new
code.
This
isn't
this,
isn't
making
it
easier
for
this
new
business
there's
a
new
code
because
they
they
gotta
jump
through
a
bunch
of
Hoops
just
like
they
had
to
do
before
so
I,
don't
know
if
we
get
in
code
it
right
or
what
happened.
But
you
know:
they've
got
jumped
through
a
lot
of
Hoops
to
make
make
this
business
work.
K
F
B
K
B
B
D
B
Items
is
to
open
the
hearings
in
our
first
hearing.
Item
is
item
35
item
35
is
on
the
proposed
sixth
amendment
to
the
urban

plan

Ingersoll
Grande
commercial

communication

dash
163,
let's
an
open
up
the
hearing
in
first
ask
if
any
of
the
councilmembers
have
any
comments
they
would
like
to
make
on
this.
Please.
A
A
E
F
M
A
E
B
B
F
B
Right
that
takes
us
to
item
38
item
38
is
in
their
proposed
sixteenth
amendment
to
the
central
place
industrial
park,
redevelopment
program,
urban
renewal
area,
council
communication,
number
twenty
164
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
hearing
on
this
and
see.
If
there's
any
council
members
who
would
like
to
make
comment.
B
A
F
F
F
B
Item
40
on
the
vacation,
conveyance
its
segments
of
sixth
Avenue
and
University
Avenue
right
away
for
bus
shelter,
encroachment
to
the
des
moines
Regional
Transit
Authority
dart
for
one
thousand
five
hundred
and
forty
dollars
a
is
the
first
consideration
in
the
ordinance
above
asking
any.
The
councilmembers
want
to
may
come
in
on
this.
L
J
Yeah
I
just
piggybacking
on
on
what
what
councilmember
gray
said.
I
these
are
not
the
the
typical
shelter
there
are
shelters
that
it's
a
great
program
partially
enabled
by
support
from
Bravo
and
it's
a
great
way
to
both
support
transit
and
make
the
writer
experience
better
for
our
transit
writers,
but
also
as
a
way
to
enhance
the
corridor
and
and
really
integrate
transit
into
the
feel
of
the
corridor.
So
this
is
a
great
project,
and
hopefully
the
success
of
this
particular
shelter
will
inspire
more
more
shelters
of
this
nature
throughout
the
community
and.
I
B
All
right
motions
been
made

am
about

vote.
I
want
to
thank
Josh
all
of
you
on
dart
and
for
having
dart
get
the
message
out.
While
they
continue
to
supply
very
important
transportation
means
as
a
necessity
for
so
many
of
our
citizens.
They
let
everybody
know
that
this
isn't
a
social
gathering
event
during
this
time
and
that
our
bus,
transportation
and
usage
should
be,
for
necessity,
use
and
either
to
get
to
a
job
or
get
to
the
grocery
store
or
get
the
pharmacy
and
take
care
of
the
things
you
have
to.
B
A

for
five
thousand
five
hundred
and
seventy
one
dollars
a
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above.
Let's
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
hearing
for
item
41.
G
B
B
All
right
item
42
is
on
the
vacation
of
alley
right
away
and
portions
of
26th

and
University

A
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
asked.
If
the
council
has
any
comments
to
make
on
this
one
again
this
for
those
on
the
on
the
line.
G
B
Right
item
43
item
43
zone,
the
city
initiated
a
request
to
rezone
1420,
Mulberry,
Street,
owned
by
central
Iowa,
shelter
and
services
from
P
to
public
Civic
and
institutional
2dx
to
downtown
district
to
allow
the
expansion
of
the
existing
temporary
shelter
use
for
additional
multiple
household
living
in
it's
an
area
for
service
provision
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
I
will
just
add
to
that.
I've
had
a
chance
to
talk
to
Melissa
O'neill
who's,
the
director
up
there.
J
B
J
E
A
B
All
right
item
44
is
on
a
request
from
white
willow
events.
Taylor
Bozeman
is
the
officer
to
amend
the
plan
dsm,
creating
our
tomorrow
future
land
use
map
designation
to
rezone
properties
located
it's
sixty
11
and
sixty
15
Grand
Avenue
from
our
x1
mixed-use
to
MX
one
mixed-use
to
allow
the
demolition
of
the
existing
buildings
and
redevelopment
of
a
two-story
7,000
square
foot,
building
for
assembly
and
entertainment,
small
use,
a
bent,
Center
a
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
and
one
staff
and
council
appreciate
the
discussion
that
we
had
prior
to
this.
B
So
I
think
that
we
have
a
better
understanding
of
what's
happening,
and
hopefully
the
residents
do
as
well,
because
I
think
that
this
very
clearly
defines
and
pins
down
the
uses,
and
not
only
for
the
the
neighbors,
but
also
for
the
officers
of
white
willow
and
appreciate
them.
Agreeing
who
to
do
this
and
to
make
these
these
changes
and
be
much
more
restrictive
and
also,
quite
frankly,
it
after
years
of
the
abandonment
of
buildings
down
there.
I
feel
like
it
looks
like
this
will
be
a
benefit
to
the
neighborhood.
J
N
I'm
also
thankful
to
all
the
neighbors
who
have
participated
in
our
neighborhood
meetings,
every
jump
to
me
directly
and
provided
recommendations
that
can
ease
their
concerns,
while
also
being
considerate
and
keeping
in
mind
that
our
bullets,
a
Prius,
that's
the
business
input
has
definitely
made
our
vision
stronger.
To
start
I
would
like
to
intern.
You
know
give
a
little
bit
of
background
of
myself.
I'm
gonna
join
native
problem
enter
email,
middle
school,
Roosevelt,
High,
School,
I,
have
ton
of
friends
and
family
in
that
area.
N
O
N
A
year
I
have
a
phenomenal
team,
a
team
that
has
grown
alongside
my
business
and
who
I
consider
family,
and
this
team
will
continue
to
grow.
I
took
research,
business
next
milestone,
it's
a
little
introduction
of
you
know
willow
and
Grant.
It's
going
to
be
primarily
a
wedding,
an
event
venue.
We
do
also
plan
on
posting
an
eclectic
mix
of
events
such
as
unions,
graduation
celebrations,
baby
showers,
holiday
parties,
corporate
events,
galas
fundraisers
movie
nights
and
other
similar
events.
N
Although
we
will
offer
a
white
ribbon,
weddings
have
always
been
my
forte
and,
given
our
price
point,
I
had
to
say
that
will
continue
to
be
the
case.
Willow
and
grand
is
gonna
fit
the
kind
of
acquaintance
term.
That's
what
we've
been
calling.
It
is
commercial
cottage
just
to
sure
that
it
seamlessly
with
the
historical
charm
of
the
Waterbury
neighborhood
and,
of
course,
the
project
will
pay
importantly,
taxes
and
sales
taxes
and
further
it's.
N
At
this
time,
I
want
to
touch
base
a
little
bit
on
kind
of
process
in
our
journey,
finding
the
perfect
space,
because
it
was
not
an
easy
one.
Land
in
the
heart
of
Des
Moines
is
very
hard
to
come
by
I
found
myself.
You
know,
driving
down
for
an
Avenue
a
bit
missed.
The
fourth
favorite
heard
this
nursery
to
came
to
come
to
the
elements.
N
Then
I
decided
to
just
kind
of
take
that
leap
and
bound
to
begin
the
process
of
her
cool
course
of
property,
and
this
is
my
first
time
purchasing
at
commercial
property,
and
you
know
I
kind
of
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
timeline
in
the
sequence
of
events
that
I
took
in
turn.
I'm
doing
everything
properly
during
your
due
diligence
period
des
moines
is
resumed.
The
flood
map
change.
We
learn
much
more
about
the
property.
N
You
know,
nonetheless,
to
continue
moving
forward
towards
our
vision,
a
beautiful
venue,
the
amount
of
things
acceptable
right
after
one
of
the
points

and
grand
half-day
in
audience.
He
approached
the
Waterbury
maven
Association.
We
set
up
a
medium
to
her
12th
after
we
met
the
association's
a
glowing
recommendation
for
the
project
after
a
meeting
the
city
of
the
oil
editor
moratorium
or
not
without,
if
anything,
percentage
to
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Board.
N
During
this
time
we
were
approached
by
the
property
owners
of
sixty
11
Grand
Avenue
regarding
leasing
their
lap
car
project
on
60
15.
Then
the
idea
of
building
on
60
11,
if
parking
on
the
other
lap
came
to
light
on
January
13th.
We
asked
the
library
association
again
if
they
would
be
in
support
of
our
two
lakhs
and
receive
the
following
letter.
In
response.
N
N
We
continue
to
applaud
your
innovative
space
plant
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you
as
you
continue
to
grow
your
business
in
historic,
Waterbury,

thanks
again,
Martha
Miller,
Johnson
water,
a
neighborhood
association
board
president
once
received
that
planning
and
zoning
meeting
on
January
23rd
a
neighbor
posted
regarding
the
rezoning,
a
map
next
door.
I
graciously
responded
to
each
question
and
provided
my
contact
information
to
anyone
that
would
like
to
contact
me
directly
with
questions
pertaining
to
our
project.
N
I
received
two
phone
calls,
both
of
which
were
in
support
and
up
until
that
time,
I
never
received
one
phone
call,
email
text,
message
or
message
on
the
NEXRAD
February
6
you
present
for
the
pansy
board,
many
supporters
and
opponents
of
the
project
we
speak.
However,
due
to
the
meetings
link,
it
was
clear
that
the
continuance
was
necessary
to
receive
expert
from
all
parties.
The
containments
was
issued.
My
team
arranged
a
second
neighborhood
meeting
and
invited
any
residents
by
mail
notification
on
the
next
four
apps
and
posted
on
social
media.
N
More
than
40
people
attended
the
February
17th
meeting
some
with
positive
feedback
and
excitement.
Others
returns
after
the
meeting.
I.
Think
the
neighbors
met
your
after
coming
and
again
provide
my
contact,
comfort,
contact
or
third
time
we've
been
in
front
of
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Board
on
February
21st,
and
the
board's
recommendation
was
in
her
favor
after
the
meeting.
I
did
talk
to
a
few
neighbors
and
told
him
again
to
get
a
hold
to
me
if
they
had
any
questions
regarding
the
project.
N
I
also
requested
documentation
and
I'm
a
good
neighbor
agreement
difference
during
the
PNC
meeting.
Something
I
had
not
heard
of
prior
to
that
evening.
That
night,
my
party
that
I
reached
out
to
John,
texture
and
neighbor,
whose
property
line
is
next
to
next
to
ours,
to
discuss
his
opposition.
After
further
discussion,
he
went
against
our
project
of
support
in
its
entirety.
Mr.
texture
is
one
of
the
closest
properties
to
our
project.
I
marched
forth
I
respond
to
an
attorney
representing
several
of
the
red
says
position
in
regards
to
good
neighbor
agreement.
N
This
was
noted
in
the
body
of
the
email
that
this
is
adapted,
not
the
full
version.
I
talked
with
council
member
joshandem
on
a
few
days
later
after
he
mentioned
that
he
was
in
touch
with
the
neighbors
that
they
were
going
to
get
an
actual
agreement
typed
up
and
sent
to
him
as
soon
as
possible,
something
with
received
until
this
past
Wednesday
April
17th
with
little
time
at
33.
N
Points
to
address
from
the
good
neighbor
agreement
thought
it
would
be
best
to
address
the
neighbors
concerns
by
proposing
a
multi-step
process,
which
is
a
document
it
sent
over
to
all
of
the
council
members
in
the
Honorable
mayor
with
that
being
said,
I
would
like
to
move
forward
with
outlining
the
steps
and
I
should
also
note.
This
multi-step
process
is
also
said
to
a
few
neighbors
as
well
to
get
their
feedback
step
one
as
a
way
of
demonstrating
your
commitment.
We
agreed
as
additional
elements
of
the
zoning.
N
The
following
the
number
of
guests
able
to
attend
any
event
shall
be
limited
to
a
maximum
of
three
hundred
at
one
time.
I
will
also
agree
to
the
uses,
personal
conditions
and
that's
on
the
condition
that
you
guys
got
this
evening.
Then
on
there
live
music
shall
be
permitted
to
accompany
that
assembly.
Uses
allowed
on
the
property,
but
concerts
for
a
lively
or
for
profit
is
the
main
event
shall
not
be
permitted
and
willow
on
grant
hours
will
be
limited
to
weeknight
events
will
end
by
10:00
p.m.
N
by
11:00
p.m.
please
note.
The
event
in
time
is
12:00
a.m.
on
the
condition.
Use
they're
gonna
work
to
further
refine
this
down
at
the
building
Board
of
adjustments,
it's
very
much
more,
restricting
to
go
about
the
11:00
p.m.
and
so
that's
we
just
want
to
make
sure
all
cleanup
is
done
by
midnight
and
not
restricting
our
staff,
but
all
then
like
at
Benjamin

prank
before
well.
Another
love
again.
N
Zoning
and
conditions
will
affect
the
property,
not
the
ownership
me
and
the
conditions
running
at
the
land.
Even
if
the
property
is
sold
or
transformed,
the
building
must
be
designed
with
material
that
meet
or
exceed
all
local
building
requirements
that
address
really
on
the
neighborhood
is
minimized.

All

embrace

with

innovative
ideas
on
the

N
We
do
not
anticipate
that
all
neighbors
will
agreed
to
all
aspects
of
our
plan,
but
we
looking
10
you
to
make
a
good-faith
effort
to
listen
and
thoughtfully.
Consider
all
actions
to
conclude
once
the
event
you
that
des
moines
is
proud
of
and
own
for.
You
want
to
be
another
reason:
people
love
des
moines
and
choose
to
celebrate
the
most
important
parts
of
their
lives.
Here,
we've
had
the
chance
to
join
the
community.
We
look
forward
to
doing
what
we
can
to
lift
up
and
support
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
since
this
process
has
started.
N
I
have
listened
to
concerns
voiced
by
neighbors
and
I
have
made
every
effort
to
go
above
and
beyond
race
required,
because
I
want
to
be
a
good
neighbor.
That
being
said,
I'm
happy
to
continue
to
work
with
neighbors
to
help
beat
and
find
workable
solutions.
I
believe
that
overwhelming
overwhelmingly
achieve
that
at
this
time.
In
closing
des
moines
of
the
city,
I'm
proud
to
call
my
home
a
place
that
you
love
in
an
amazing
and
transforming
city,
and
is
my
sincere
hope
that
Liljegren
will
become
another
reason
why
people
love
des
moines.
N
A
B
C
C
All
three
of
them
require
a
little
bit
of
compassion,
they're
all
bringing
some
businesses
to
the
to
the
community,
they're,
also
bringing
some
very
good
services,
but
I
think
that
this
city
deserves,
and
none
of
them
are
asking
for
any
time
tax
dollars
what's
whatsoever
so
with
that
I
just
like
to
weigh
in
on
some
compassion
than
that
for
this
one
in
the
next
two
of
them.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks
Kevin.
B
P
Mayor
members
of
council,
this
is
Tony
Colosimo,
801,
Grand
Avenue
in
Des,
Moines
and
I'm,
appearing
on
behalf
of
at
Johnson
and
Gretchen
Johnson,
who
owns
some
property
on
just
behind
to
the
north
of
the
site
and
Sarah
Flores,
who
also
owns
and
lives
right
behind
the
site
and
had
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is.
We
believe
that
we
had
sufficient
objections
returned
that
the
Zoning
Board
was
that
this
is
going
to
require
a
supermajority
vote
and
I
wondered
if
that's
correct,
still
Jeff.
B
P
Yes,
okay,
that's
good!
Now,
I
have
computer
problems.
This
is
my
third
computer
to
try
to
get
hooked
on
to
this
meeting.
So
I
missed
what
was
discussed
prior
to
the
time
for
the
public
hearing,
but
it
sounds
like
there
were
some
important
prior
discussion
issues
and
I
wondered
what
those
were.
You
summarized
those
for
me.
I.
B
Think
we
could
Jeff
I
would
do
it,
but
Tony
I
will
tell
you
that
generally
what
it
did
is
sort
of
outline
the
concessions
that
the
applicant
has
made
to
adjust
after
conversations
with
neighbors
but
had
worked
with
councilmember
Mandelbaum
to
try
to
put
it
together
into
the
application.
But
Jeff.
Would
you
like
to
clarify
please?
Yes,.
G
G
So
what
might
explained
is
that
we
have
both
zoning
conditions
that
have
been
agreed
to
in
writing
by
the
applicants,
and
then
there
are
a
number
of
other
conditions
that
would
amount
in
any
conditional
use
process
that
is
included
in
the
overall
getting
started
process
for
this
particular
project.
The
rezoning
ordinance
itself
has
a
couple
of
main
components,
one
of
which
is
that
any
assembly
of
persons
is
limited
to
300
person,
so
fewer
at
any
one
time
several
uses
are
specified
limited
to
events
such
as
putting
ceremonies
and
receptions
celebrations
of
life.
G
Graduation
receptions,
baby
showers,
engagement,
parties,
anniversaries,
birthdays,
reunions,
fundraisers
charities,
and
it
goes
on
and
there's
quite
a
number
of
them
that
it's
limited
to
political
events,
speaking
engagements
business
meetings,
but
the
last
paragraph
makes
clear
that,
like
me,
is
permitted
to
accompany
an
assembly
use
allowed
on
the
property
by
concerts
themselves
for
life.
Music
is
performed
for
profit,
as
the
main
event
is
not
permitted.
Well,.
C
G
Good
yeah
hours
of
operation
are
limited
Sunday
through
Thursday
8
a.m.
to
10:00
p.m.
and
Friday
and
Saturday
8
a.m.
to
midnight,
with
the
exception
of
public
holidays,
which
and
a
day
preceding
public
holidays
which
are
8
a.m.
to
midnight
and
I
mean
the
holidays,
are
traditional
holidays,
New,
Year's,
Day,
Martin,
Luther,
King
birthday,
a
Memorial
Day
Independence,
Day,
Labor,
Day,
Veterans,
Day,
Thanksgiving
and
Christmas.
Now.
P
J
P
See
there
was
some
good
neighbor
agreement
points
which
I
had
seen
in
fact,
I
drafted
those
and
just
don't
know
where
those
stood,
and
we
thought
that
we
could
work
something
out
with
the
applicant,
but
we
just
unless
she's
had
discussions
with
other
people,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
neighbors
here
that
are
concerned
about
that
I
have
not,
although
I've
emailed
with
Taylor
have
not
had
any
direct
discussions
regarding
any
of
these
points
with
her-
and
you
know,
our
group
would
certainly
like
to
do
that.
We
seem
to
be
moving
in
the
right
direction.
B
J
The
motion
will
will
only
do
one
reading
this
evening
and
the
goal
will
be
to
have
additional
discussions
between
now
and
the
next
reading
on
the
items
that
would
be
relevant,
particularly
for
the
Zoning
Board
of
Adjustment,
even
though
we're
not
there
at
the
process,
but
to
try
and
I
get
more
comfort
among
the
neighbors
on
those
issues
which
I
think
Taylor
should
have
walked
through
a
number
of
them
that
that
she's
already
given
thought
to
and
is
working
on.
That's.
B
Q
Q
B
Q
But
you
know
our
neighborhood
has
problems
in
the
past
with
the
bal
air
and
the
sound
that
comes
out
of
there.
So
naturally,
there
are
people
that
are
a
little
leery
about
hearing
event
center,
so
this
was
ten
years
ago
and
I
was
invited
then
to
enjoin
with
the
west
des
moines
officials
and
their
leaders
and
the
bal
air
management
to
review
and
revise
their
sound
ordinance.
Q
The
end
result
there
in
west
des
moines
matches
very
closely
with
the
changes
that
have
been
made
to
the
sound
ordinance
adopted
by
the
City
of
Des
Moines.
There's
three
points
that
I
want
to
that
I
make
about
the
regarding
this
project.
First,
the
sound
system,
the
Bel
Air,
is
a
concert
venue
and
obviously
much
larger
and
they've
spent
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
on
their
sound
system
and
then
the
most
of
their
acts
that
they
bring
in
rival
that
or
exceed
that
system.
Q
This
Center
will
not
have
the
need
nor
the
budget
to
match
that
I
mean
we'll,
have
DJs
and
things
like
that,
but
not
be
the
ability
to
pump
out
the
sound
that
the
valor
does
the
sound
levels.
85
decibels
is
similar
to
a
gas-powered,
lawn,
mower
leaf
blowers
and
it's
identified
by
the
National
Institute
of
Occupational
Safety
and
Health
as
a
maximum
sound
level
before
hearing
loss
occurs
after
two
continuous
hours
hearing
damage
can
still
occur.
A
hundred
decibel
is
considered
the
most
that
you
would
ever
have
for
a
reception
venue.
Q
Q
So
if
we
think
about
the
construction
of
this,
the
new
facility
can
be
tailored
to
need
to
what
is
needed
based
on
the
use
and
to
meet
the
sound
ordinance.
The
Malheur
was
never
constructed
to
have
have
a
sound
system
that
it
has
in
it,
and
the
roof
assembly
actually
magnifies
the
noise
that
comes
out
of
there.
The
sound
transmission
class
is
the
amount
of
noise
reduction.
You'll
have
with
an
assembly
from
one
side,
for
instance,
of
a
wall
or
a
roof
to
another.
Q
Normal
law,
construction
for
the
exterior
walls
with
two
by
six
walls,
studs
insulation,
sheathing
and
exterior
finish
materials
will
be
at
or
over
40
STC,
which
is
the
sound
transmission
class.
The
roof
will
provide
even
more
of
that,
because
it's
got
more
insulation.
The
windows
are
the
weak
point,
but
by
increasing
the
mass
of
the
windows,
ie
triple
glazing
or
thicker
glass
glazing,
the
more
sound
reducing
windows
can
provide
30
to
35
STC.
Q
So,
even
with
a
venue
that
has
a
hundred
decibels,
you
get
235
SDC
subtract
that
from
the
hundred
and
the
sound
transmitted
to
the
exterior
will
be
about
65
decibels,
which
is
what
the
city
ordinance
requires
is
65
decibels.
Maximum
the
window
locations
can
also
be
reviewed
and
reduced
the
amount
of
openings
to
the
closest
residential
properties.
So,
based
on
my
experience
with
that
and
my
professional
knowledge,
the
if
the
above
issues
are
considered
and
addressed
and
I
am
certain
that
this
facility
will
not
be
a
soy
source
of
noise
issues.
B
Anybody
have
any
quick
questions
for
Russ
I
think
that's
very
helpful
and
appreciate
the
project
to
look
at
those
kind
of
considerations,
because
sound
can
be
a
big
problem
in
any
area,
whether
it's
a
backyard
party
or
whatever,
but
the
fact
that
they've
taken
a
look
at
it
and
made
every
effort
to
knock
it
down
and
I
think
is
at
least
I'd
like
to
thank
them
for
that
that
effort,
let's
move
on,
looks
like
the
next
person
is
bill,
Elson
bill,
let's
open
it
up
for
you,
the
floor
is
yours.
Yes,.
R
Honorable
mayor
and
council
members
I'm
bill
Elson
712
Polk
Boulevard
as
a
residents
of
the
water
barrier
neighborhood
and
also
as
an
owner
of
commercial
property
on
the
west
side
of
Grand.
Since
1998
I'd
like
to
voice
my
support
for
the
project
I'm.
Currently,
one
of
the
owners
of
6000
grand
which
is
directly
across
the
street
from
the
office
I,
have
a
stand
up.
R
Desk
I,
look
out
and
brand
every
day
at
this
property,
it's
a
blighted
property,
no
offense
of
the
Herndon's,
but
since
that
business
has
closed
down,
there's
weeds,
it
looks
vacant,
it's
ugly
with
the
fence
and
the
building
next
door
is
is
certainly
a
functional
building,
but
it's
certainly
not
enhancing
neighborhood
at
all.
I
have
agreed
with
Taylor
and
her
group
that
we
would
offer
overflow
parking
at
our
office
building,
provided
that
there
was
a
safe
shuttle
across
to
her
building.
If
needed
and
I
guess,
the
main
reasons
I
support
the
property.
R
Is
that
there's
something
has
to
happen
there?
This
is
a
flood
zone,
it's
a
blighted
property
and
we
need
some
property
tax
base
and
when
you
think
about
it,
the
economic
development
impact
of
this
is
going
to
be
huge.
People
come
to
weddings
from
out
of
town,
the
young
kids
that
are
getting
married
here.
Their
folks
live
in
rural
Iowa
and
they're
coming
here,
they're
going
to
go
to
the
Art
Center
they're
gonna
take
tours
they're
gonna,
do
photographs,
they're
gonna,
stay
downtown
and
patronize
restaurants
and
bars
on
court
Avenue
and
Western
gateway.
R
B
S
I'm
glad
we're
not
here
talking
about
a
car
wash
in
autozone
or
another
fast
food
like
restaurant
talk
about
tonight
is
a
great
investment
into
our
community.
The
significant
investment
into
a
blighted
area
and
the
investors
and
developers
have
demonstrated
their
willingness
to
work
with
everyone
to
the
best
of
their
abilities.
Thank
You.
B
C
T
T
N

Okay,
I
get
a
little
confused
as
far
as
you
know,
because
we
were
talking.
Also,
there
was
the
talk
like
the
police
officer
there
and
I
thought
that
the
whatever
this
this
proposal
was
not
but
I
think
she
was
going
to
do
that.
So
there's
kind
of
some
a
little
bit
of
difference
from
what
I'm
understanding
on
what
it's
zoned
for
or
what
it's
available
for,
and
what
she's
willing
to
do.
K
Members
of
council
Michael,
Ludwig
planning,
administrative,
the
city
des
moines,
the
general
definition
for
a
small
event
center
is
up
to
2,000
people.
That
is
why
the
condition
on
the
use
is
proposed
to
limit
the
capacity
to
300,
so
what
we
had
recommended
were
conditions
that
restricted
what
would
generally
be
available
in
the
zoning
code
under
just
just
just
straight
zoning
on
a
property
in
the
absence
of
zoning
conditions.
In
addition,
there
are
other
conditions
that
could
be
placed
on
the
use
by
the
Zoning
Board
of
Adjustment.
K
T
T
N
Will
be
doing
Sunday
events,
but
again
we
here
to
the
condition
used
in
terms
of
the
time
limits.
We
don't
see
a
lot
of
events
taking
place
on
Sundays,
but
again
on
the
break
down
there.
We
do
have
the
option
to
have
anything
religious
on
there
or
Sunday
brunches
or
yoga
on
the
lawn
things.
I
can.
Think
of
that
would
potentially
happen
on
the
conduct
and.
N
F
B
N
It's
also
willing
to
lease
his
lot
to
us
and,
in
addition,
I've
also
reached
out
to
tech
parking
which
I
have
a
working
relationship
with
you
set
up
shuttle
and
valet
services.
If
we
need
to-
and
one
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
in
terms
of
parking,
you
know
the
average
event
size
we
see
is
likely
gonna,
be
you
well
under
200
I
want
to
say
the
average
wedding
is
right
around.
N
You
know
that
175
is
typical
and
we
also
see
younger
younger
people,
utilizing
lifts
and
kind
of
shuttle
services
instead
of
driving
to
the
property
as
well,
so
definitely
making
sure
in
our
rental
agreements,
with
our
clients
or
our
guests,
to
make
sure
that
they
know
of
the
parking
options
and
try
to
limit
to.
As.
F
M
I've
tried
to
catch
Mike
before
he
got
off
the
phone.
This
is
councilman
Carl,
boss
and
Michael.
Wonder
if
you
could
just
review
the
background,
good
neighbor
agreements
and
how
they've
been
used
in
the
past
I
think
that
conversation
took
place
before
5:00
p.m.
some
of
the
people
listening.
It
may
have
missed
that
portion
of
the
conversation.
K
Mayor
members
of
council,
Michael
Ludwig
playing
administrator,
typically
good
neighbor
agreements
have
been
utilized
by
the
city
for
existing
business
operations
that
may
have
been
in
existence
for
quite
some
time.
Certainly
several
of
those
have
been.
It's
been
used
several
times
where
the
business
may
be
predated
our
requirements
to
go
to
say
the
Zoning
Board
of
Adjustment
used
from
it
to
get
their
wine
and
liquor
sales
or
consumption
on
the
premises,
so
it's
usually
or
typically
been
used
as
a
method
to
resolve
issues
with
an
existing
business.
K
That's
that's
predated
current
regulations
in
the
code
and
so
under.
Under
this
circumstance,
those
those
good
neighbor
agreements
don't
run
with
the
land,
as
we
call
as
a
zoning
requirement,
they're.
Basically
an
agreement
between
the
operator
of
the
business
and
say
our
police
department
to
try
and
resolve
some
sort
of
concerns
that
have
been
brought
to
the
attention
of
the
city
in
order
for
conditions
to
run
with
the
land,
which
we
believe
is
a
much
more
stringent
requirement.
K
Our
new
code
also
requires,
in
order
to
sell
beer,
wine
and
liquor
for
on-premise
consumption
that
they
have
to
seek
a
conditional
use
permit
from
the
Board
of
Adjustment
to
do
that,
and
it
also
requires
for
an
off
street
parking
lot
to
be
developed
in
a
floodplain
for
them
to
get
a
conditional
use
permit
from
the
Board
of
Adjustment.
So
some
of
those
are
specific
to
the
zoning
specific
use
that
is
proposed
and
the
specific
zoning
of
this
property
because
of
its
relation
to
a
floodplain
or
its
relation
to
residential
uses
that
surround
it.
K
M
K
U
Yes,
thank
you.
I
live
at
6000
won,
Walnut
Hill
Drive
and
as
a
neighbor,
whose
family
home
is
within
250
feet
of
this
proposal.
I
and
most
of
my
neighbors
stand
opposed
since
learning
about
this
plan.
Our
neighbors
joined
together,
coordinated
several
neighbor
of
meetings,
contacted
city
council
members
spoke
in
opposition
at
hearings
and
continued
to
navigate
our
options
to
do
what
we
can
to
stop
the
project
from
going
through
all
along
while
engaging
our
city
in
this
Civic
process,
we've
accepted
our
NIMBY
status,
we've
had
our
neighborhood
compared
to
the
East
Village.
U
We've
been
told
that
there
are
a
lot
more
of
these
event
centers
around,
and
we
think
we've
been
told
that
this
is
good
use
for
the
corridor.
That'd
be
good
for
the
city
of
Des,
Moines
and
I
was
even
told.
Well,
I
wouldn't
live
that
close
to
Grand.
Needless
to
say,
our
concerns
have
been
minimalized
that
just
about
every
step
of
the
process,
to
say
the
least,
the
idea
that
this
project
was
a
foregone
conclusion
by
various
city
staff
is
something
we
realized
early
on
and
something
that
strengthened
our
will
to
appeal.
U
The
applicant
did
not
and
has
not
reached
out
to
us
the
neighbors
living
in
direct
proximity
to
these
properties.
These
are
the
people
who
will
be
directly
impacted
by
this
business.
The
Waterbury
Neighborhood
Association
has
since
submitted
another
letter
since
learning
of
our
concerns.
The
first
at
any
of
us
within
250
feet
learned
about
this
project
and
proposal
was
by
notification
from
Planning
and
Zoning
that
this
was
request
up
for
a
hearing
so
covering
all
of
our
bases.
U
V
U
Applicants
meeting
was
an
open
house,
her
neighborhood
meeting-
that
was
not
an
actual
meeting
and
to
us
this
just
is
not
the
start
of
a
beautiful
relationship.
Nor
is
it
anything
close
to
what
mr.
Rogers
teaches
us
about
being
a
good
neighbor.
We've
submitted
our
names
collected
signatures
for
a
petition
and
gave
voice
to
our
objections
and
to
hearings.
You
all
have
the
packet.
You
know
why
we
object
to
this
project
in
our
neighborhood.
U
That
will
be
a
fact
when
most
of
us
are
returning
home
to
turn
on
our
lamps
and
tuck
in
our
children.
The
party
at
the
event
center
will
just
be
getting
started
and
the
noise
of
a
party
is
one
thing
and
it
sounds
great
to
have
all
of
those
design
implementations
in
place.
But
the
noise
of
activity
after
the
party
is
over
is
probably
more
disruptive
people
conversing
car
door,
slamming
headlights
shining
into
windows.
This
parking
lot
would
actually
be
busy
both
back
yards
now.
U
We've
had
to
frame
our
position
into
planning
zoning
terms,
sound
ordinances
and
ratios
of
people's
two
cars
and
the
light,
but
none
of
that
addresses
the
fact
that
a
potential
business
like
this
set
in
a
neighborhood
disrupts
what
it
is
to
be
at
home
in
a
neighborhood.
The
current
businesses
in
this
mixed
zone
operate
during
traditional
business
hours
and
they're,
not
inviting
one.
Two
three
hundred
people
at
once
for
a
milestone
celebration
each
weekend,
they're
smaller
in
scale
and
appropriate
for
the
type
of
mixed-use
buildings
that
are
tucked
into
this
residential
neighborhood.
U
U
There's
no
shortage
of
appropriate
places
to
hold
we're
asking
you
to
help
us
discourage
the
establishment
of
this
project
and
vote
no
on
this
rezoning
request
by
voting
no
on
this
request,
your
leadership
sends
a
message
that
you
will
protect
the
interests
and
quality
of
life
for
people
in
their
homes
over
the
profits
and
that
as
a
community,
we
value
and
respect
the
integrity
of
the
integrity
of
what
it
is
to
be
a
residential
neighborhood
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
X
B
Y
X
You,
council
and
mayor
for
allowing
me
to
speak,
I
live
at
6034,
North,
Waterbury,
Road
and
I
am
speaking
in
support
of
this
project.
I
realize
I
do
live
several
blocks
away,
but
I
have
known
Taylor
for
her
sensuous
taylor
thompson
back
to
her
days
in
middle
school
in
high
school
and
I'm
very
proud
to
say
that
I
do
know
her
I've
seen
her
become
a
young,
successful
businesswoman
and
entrepreneur
in
the
community.
X
I
think
that
it
is
time
to
have
this
property
cleaned
up
and
to
have
something
going
air
that
will
be
an
ongoing
business.
Effective
and
we'll
put
the
property
back
on
tax.
Rolls
I
honestly
believe
that
Taylor
will
continue
to
work
with
the
neighbors
and
to
be
very
sensitive
to
their
desire
to
have
a
good
life
in
the
neighborhood.
So
that
is
my
perspective
and
I
am
hoping
that
you
support
this
project.
B

Yes,
Thank
You

I
live
at

around

and
even
on

once
in
a
while,
so
really
familiar
with
the
event.
Business
and
I
would
like
to
bow
for
the
credibility
of
Kaler,
bozos
and
I.
Z
Everything
that
they
touch
is
a
beautiful
addition
to
their
neighborhood,
all
their
all
their
locations
and
I
certainly
am
sympathetic
to
the
neighbors
concerns,
but
I
think
they'll
find
in
reality
that
it's
just
not
what
they
are
afraid.
It's
it's
going
to
be
that
these
bent
centers
such
as
Taylor
is
doing
are
a
real
asset
to
community,
and
maybe
maybe
now,
while
we're
not
of
able
to
assemble,
we
understand
even
more
how
important
for
a
community
it
is
to
have
places
to
do.

This
is
Gretchen
Johnson,
6018,
Waterbury
circle.
Our
family
home
is
located
in
the
south
part
of
the
Waterbury
neighborhood,
where
many
others
of
us
live,
and
we
also
own
a
duplex
at

Walnut,
Hill
Drive.
It
was
late
in
February
when
we
received
in
the
mail
the
pro/con
postcard
asking
us
for
our
opinion
because
of
the
proximity
to
a
location,
yes
and
brand.
AB
At
this
time
we
were
startled
to
learn
of
a
plan
for
an
event
center
to
be
built,
the
details
of
which
we
discovered
had
already
been
discussed
elsewhere
and
we're
now
underway.
This
situation
suddenly
felt
like
an
invasion
into
our
lives.
This
has
now
become
not
just
another
small
business.
This
is
to
be
a
party
celebration
center.
These
two
are
not
the
same
by
comparison,
nor
are
all
the
trappings
that
go
with
an
event
center.
That's
went
plant
to
bring
them.
AB
Today,
though,
it
seems
as
if
we
have
already
met
defeat
before
we've
even
had
a
chance
for
you
to
hear
us,
speak
I,
feel
about
this
situation,
and
our
friends
and
neighbors
have
been
drawn
into
your
consideration
and
decision
concerning
the
outcome
of
this
proposal.
Well
impact
impact,
each
of
us
who
have
chosen
this
particular
environment
to
call
home
just
live
safely,
quietly
and
happily,
surrounded
by
beauty
and
peace.
We
do
not
need
a
party
venue
among
us,
Thank
You,.

so
just
a
few
blocks
away
from
the
venue.
I
want
to
comment
as
nobody's
really
made
about
this.
So
far
as
I
went
to
the
meeting
at
Bose
Dan's
in
February
and
the
venue
is
beautiful,
I
mean
talk
about
a
play.
A
building
that
fits
the
neighborhood
fantastically
they've
done
a
great
job
of
planning
it.
It
doesn't
look
like
an
event
center.
It
looks
like
a
big
house
I
think
it's
going
to
be
beautiful,
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
activity.
I
live
close
enough.
AC
That
I
could
hear
there
was
a
valor,
but
it
doesn't
rattle.
My
windows
and
I
actually
missed
the
activity
when
the
valor
isn't
there
I'd
much
rather
figure
out
a
way
to
put
bigger
mufflers
on
the
Harley's
that
leave
pal
Joey's
at
two
o'clock
in
the
morning,
then
I
would
to
restrict
the
use
of
this
space.
Taylor
did
a
great
job
of
answering
questions
at
the
open
house
that
she
had
I.
Think
she's,
a
similar,
really
good
team
I
talked
to
a
lot
of
them.
AC
I
think
it's
a
fantastic
use
of
the
space
I've
been
at
5308
grams
for
14
years,
and
you
know
basically
grant
is
busy
twice
a
day
and
if
this
extends
the
busy
period
for
a
couple
hours,
I'm.
Okay,
with
that,
it's
four
lanes,
it's
the
handles
of
traffic,
just
fine
I
expected
most
of
the
people
that
come
from
out
of
town
will
help
the
head
down
to
63rd
Street
and
go
up
to
the
freeway
I.
B
AD
AD
Fantastic
I
would
like
to
start
by
saying
hello
to
the
council,
the
community
members
and,
most
importantly,
my
neighborhood
family.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
me
share
this
evening.
I
would
like
to
take
the
time
to
introduce
you
to
my
neighborhood
family
and
give
you
a
better
understanding
of
what
it
means
to
be
part
of
the
Waterbury
neighborhood
and
specifically
Walnut
Hill
or
for
those
of
us
who
live
here.
We
know
it
as
South
Waterbury.
We
are
the
ones
that
are
within
200
yards.
We
are
not
north
Waterbury
Sarah.
AD
I'd
been
a
resident
in
this
area
since
1979
living
on
Waterbury
circle
and
now
Walnut
Hill
I
moved
into
my
house
on
Walnut
Hill
because
of
the
location,
the
hospita
backyard
neighbors
to
my
parents
on
Waterbury.
Sadly,
assumptions
were
made
by
members
of
the
community
who
we
are
as
a
neighborhood
and
how
we
would
feel
about
an
establishment
of
this
magnitude.
There
were
assumptions
made
that,
due
to
our
location
and
the
fact
that
businesses
already
exist,
one
more
business
wouldn't
make
a
difference.
AD
Assumptions
took
the
place
of
communication
assumptions
took
the
place
of
observations
and
assumptions
took
the
place
of
trust
and
relationship.
Building.
Walnut
Hill
is
a
neighborhood
where
impromptu
playdates
happen
as
children,
tumble
out
of
their
cars,
where
neighbors
meet
and
the
yards
to
ask
advice
on
how
to
get
rid
of
those
damn
moles.
We
watch
each
other's
houses
and
take
in
mail
when
they,
when
we're
on
vacation
and
some
of
us
know
each
other's
alarm
codes
and
know
where
to
find
the
spare
keys.
AD
AD
We
desperately
look
forward
to
the
quiet
nights
after
work
when
our
kids
are
in
there
we're
sitting
in
our
backyards
with
our
fires
and
we're
whispering
us
to
not
wake
the
kids
there's
through
the
open
windows,
communication
planning
and
observations,
even
on
the
most
surface
level,
would
have
exposed
what
I
have
known
since
1979.
Not
all
things
look
good
on
paper
and
not
all
of
them
work,
even
if
they
do
look
good
on
paper.
This
event
center
will
significantly
change
the
feel
of
this
neighborhood
people
moved
here
because
they
took
time
to
communicate.
AD
They
observed
the
unwritten
social
societal
norms
and
they
were
interested
in
creating
relationships
with
individuals
would
eventually
be
like
family.
This
neighborhood
is
an
eclectic
collection
of
cultures,
professions,
friends
and
businesses
working
together
on
a
very
humble
scale.
Please
don't
make
the
decision
that
will
allow
for
the
destruction
of
an
area
that
has
maintained
unique
harmony.
Don't
let
someone
move
in
don't
let
someone
move
in
that
has
made
assumptions
based
on
business
first
progress
and
put
community
unity
on
the
majority's
voice
to
the
bottom
of
the
decision.
AD
AE
There
wanted
me
to
move
back
here
to
be
close
to
her
family
and
her
home
and
parents,
and
when
we
located
to
our
current
house
here
on
Walnut
Hill
I
was
hesitant
to
invest
in
a
house
located
next
to
businesses,
and
she
told
me
that
despite
the
businesses
intermingled
on
the
outskirts
of
the
neighborhood,
these
would
remain
quiet.
And
to
this
point
you
know
they
pretty
much
are
just
quiet
until
you
we
see,
you
know
the
traffic
coming
down
from
the
McDonald's
by
late
at
night.
AE
We
can
hear
the
the
drive-through
also,
but
anyway,
she
told
me
the
beauty
of
Des
Moines
was
in
a
combination
of
small
zoning
and
City
Council
members
that
listen
to
their
citizens
and
an
overall
collective
movement
towards
the
support
of
the
preservation
of
culture
and
climate.
We
are
a
neighborhood
and
we
happened
to
back
up
to
businesses.
The
we
happen
to
back
up
to
businesses
that
are
on
the
small
scale,
not
200
people
or
even
80
people
gathering
at
a
time
to
conduct
business.
AE
Most
businesses
are
9:00
to
5:00
and
some
stay
open
later
than
others,
but
they
do
not
operate
on
a
large
capacity.
Allowing
this
event
center
would
shift
the
balance
we
are
preserving
and
to
consider
such
a
center
is
the
opposite
of
what
I
first
saw
that
Des
Moines
offered,
in
contrast
to
Texas,
preserve
the
culture
and
climate
that
is
so
unique
to
Des
Moines
and
listen
to
the
neighbors
and
vote
with
the
voice
of
the
people
in
mind.
We
have
not
felt
or
heard
or
recognized
this
whole
process.
AE
Think
of
us
and
do
what
is
right
and
now
is
your
chance
to
listen
and
vote
in
a
way
that
rectifies.
The
relationship
between
city
politicians
and
their
community
prove
that
the
relationship
between
the
normal
masses
means
more
than
a
few
business
deals
with
people
who
have
a
name
and
connections.
Thank
you.
B
V
Hi
everyone
thanks
for,
let
me
speak.
My
name
is
Brennan
Strom
I
live
at
6:01
v
Walnut
Hill
Drive,
along
with
my
roommate
max
rocker
speaking
on
behalf
of
their
house,
I'm
gonna
echo
a
lot
of
the
points
that
other
people
have
made
in
opposition
to
this.
So
don't
want
to
repeat
their
comments,
but
my
main
concern
is
the
parking
issue
there
already
is
in
flux
of
traffic
on
the
street
due
to
vive
normal
business
hours,
and
then
not
the
trails
are
sure
or
the
weather
starting
to
get
nicer.
V
There's
more
traffic
on
the
trails
and
people
Park
on
the
street
to
bring
their
bikes
there
etc.
So
it
kind
of
comes
to
fold
one
there's
to
be
an
impulse
of
street
parking
and
then
two.
If
we
do,
if
there
is
extra
parking
across
the
street
I
know,
most
people
aren't
gonna
wait
for
shuttles.
You
know
if
they're
cars,
if
the
venue
is
right
across
the
street,
they're
gonna
run
across,
especially
if
they've
had
a
couple
beers
and
them
a
couple
of
drinks
in
them.
V
That
often
times
happens
at
wedding
venues
and
then
too,
if
this
is
gonna,
be
promoters.
This
is
going
to
be
used
as
a
mixed-use,
where
there's
going
to
be
family
event,
centers
or
family
events,
neighborhood
events,
things
like
that,
where
there's
gonna
be
kids
being
so
close
to
a
high
traffic
and
especially
on
a
hill,
that
grand
is
where
people
come
flying
off,
that
Street
I
think
poses
a
lot
of
risk
and
a
lot
of
potential
problems
so
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Thank,
You,
Brendon.
B
AF
Yes
hi,
this
is
hi.
My
name
is
Megan
brach
same
David's
way.
Forgiven
I
did
the
same
thing
that
Sarah
narak
did.
We
knew
Liz
at
six
one
zero
one
Walnut
Hill
Drive,
that's
about
right
across
the
street
from
where
this
event
centers
fans
and
we,
along
with
the
majority
of
the
people
who
signed
the
petition,
already,
are
totally
opposed
to
this
event.
Center
and
planning
and
zoning
change,
I
think
the
biggest
struggle
that
I
have
personally
as
a
neighbor
and
someone
who
is
gonna
be
directly
affected
by
this.
AF
No
one
can
still
tell
me
why
this
is
a
great
idea.
The
people
who
have
spoken
in
favor
of
this
or
on
Taylor's
payroll
or
don't
live
in
a
neighborhood,
but
the
people
who
know
the
neighborhood.
You
can
tell
you
whether
or
not
this
zoning
change
is
gonna
fit
in
with
the
neighborhood
or
the
majority
of
our
oppose.
AF
The
current
businesses
here
are
good
neighbors.
They
operate
with
him.
A
zoning
planning
and
zoning
ordinance
is
already
and,
as
many
people
have
already
spoken,
it's
been
very
difficult
to
try
to
work
with
Taylor.
No
one
is
doubting
that
she's,
a
great
person
I'm
sure
she
is,
but
it's
been
very
difficult
to
try
to
communicate
the
event
time
or
the
event
that
she
hosted
in
previously
bo's'n's
floral
was
like
a
sales
event.
It
didn't
offer
a
chance
for
people
to
openly
ask
questions
your
each
other.
AF
It's
gonna
be
a
nuisance
to
the
neighbors
who
are
around,
as
we've
tried
to
voice
our
opinion
before
to
to
say
you
know,
parking
is
gonna,
be
an
issue.
People
are
gonna
run
across
the
street.
Just
like
Brendan
said.
The
noise
for
the
event
is
gonna,
be
a
really
big
problem,
but
I
also
have
a
really
big
issue
with
competing
with
the
Art
Center.
That's
just
up
Grand,
that's
frankly,
in
a
much
nicer
neighborhood
than
ours,
anyways
I,
don't
know
how
else
to
really
Spain.
You
know
I'm
not
like
I
guess.
AF
So
I
know
several
of
us
have
emailed
and
requested
that
this
be
postponed
and
concern
is
what
makes
anyone
think
that
a
high-end
non-essential
wedding
reception
venue
next
to
a
McDonald's
in
the
Pizza
Hut
is
gonna
thrive
when
our
economy
is
starting
to
mimic
times
of
the
Great
Depression
I
don't
understand
the
rush.
If
you
even
meet
in
person
for
a
city
council
meeting
to
fairly
discuss
this
issue,
then
why
are
we
rushing
to
move
forward
with
this
proposal
when
the
reality
of
it
is?
AF
It
may
be
at
least
a
year
or
more
before
an
event
can
be
safely
held?
There
I
hope
that
there's
people
who
are
so
willing
to
have
their
events,
but
many
people
have
canceled,
are
getting
married
online.
So
at
the
very
least,
I
still
ask
that
this
about
be
postponed
as
me,
and
several
the
neighbors
have
already
asked
earlier
today
and
we're
not
doing
taylor
any
favors
by
moving
forward
with
this,
because
this
is
a
non-essential
business.
AF
AG
B
Well,
it
goes
to
up
probably
three
because
his
council
member
mandelbaum-
this
is
his
ward
and
he
said
under
no
circumstances.
I
think
Josh
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
that
would
we
be
voting
to
what
any
any
other
readings
on
this,
because
I
think
he
felt
that
it
was
important
to
get
everybody's
input
here.
AG
Thank
you.
Ii
had
a
question
about
notice.
As
to
the
meeting
at
the
planning
and
zoning
we
received
written
notice,
I
understand,
that's
not
the
protocol
for
City
Council,
however
I
think
we
had
about
three
or
four
times
as
many
people
present
at
the
meeting
when
it
was
in
person.
I
think
that's
profound
reason
what
we
also
asked
for
a
continuance,
so
we
could
have
some
more
of
our
neighbors,
who
might
not
be
as
comfortable
with
technology
president
at
present
at
today's
meeting.
But
how
was
notice
provided
for
this
meeting
today.
B
B
A
AE
AG
AG
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Some
of
my
concerns
I'd
like
to
address
our
parking
issues
and
traffic
issues
with
the
neighborhood
parking
has
fluctuated
from
anywhere
between
45
into
the
90s,
depending
on
when
you
Bass
Taylor.
There
who's
asked
Taylor
when
the
master
day
I
heard
today
that
64
parking
spaces
were
going
to
be
proposed,
but
is
my
understanding
that
94
was
the
number
coming
out
of
planning
and
zoning?
Could
anybody
speak
to
the
discrepancy
of
that.
K
F
K
So,
based
on
a
250
seat
capacity,
the
parking,
the
minimum
parking
requirement
would
be
32
parking
spaces
off
street
and
the
maximum
that's
allowed
by
code
is
120
percent
of
the
normally
required
parking.
This
isn't
an
MX
district
which
allows
a
reduction,
but
the
maximum
that
would
be
allowed
on
the
site
would
be
94
spaces
by
code.
That
may
be
what
the
speaker
was.
Referencing
does
not
mean
they
had
to
provide
94
spaces.
That's
the
maximum.
K
AG
K
K
F
AG
Thank
you,
yeah
and
I
was
just
trying
to
get
clarification.
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
Grand
Avenue,
as
stated
before
very
busy
street
hi
share.
The
same
concerns
is
my
neighbor
Brennan
of
people
walking
across
the
street
to
get
their
car.
In
reality,
people
are
just
not
going
to
wait
for
a
shuttle
to
drive
them
across
the
street
when
they
can
see
their
vehicle.
Now.
AG
One
of
the
requests
I
made
at
Planning
and
Zoning
was
to
do
a
traffic
study
because
I
on,
if
you
look
at
an
aerial
map,
this
might
look
like
an
appropriate
place,
but
oftentimes.
It's
forgotten
that
if
you're
taking
the
bike
trail
system
from
Ingersoll
up
to
because
Walnut
Creek
trails,
you
come
down
our
street
on
on
Walnut,
unwanted
Hill,
and
so,
although
there's
a
lot
of
bikers
there's
a
lot
of
pedestrians
and
there's
a
lot
of
vehicles
that
drive
down
that
road,
I'm
sorry
I
made
myself
look.
We
can
hear
you.
AG
Oh
sorry,
there's
just
a
lot
of
pedestrian
bike
in
and
car
traffic,
so
I
asked
for
a
traffic
study
that
was
not
done,
but
over
the
past
10
days,
I
did
put
up
my
own
camera
and
I
can
tell
you
that
we
had
1776
cars
go
by
just
on
Walnut
Hill
Drive
200
pedestrians
mostly
made
up
of
neighbors
with
young
kids
just
walking
down
to
the
trail
system,
because
there's
no
sidewalks
in
our
neighborhood.
At
this
point,
it's
all
just
Street.
AG
That
is
a
big
concern
of
mine,
just
not
considering
the
impact
of
the
vehicles,
the
traffic
that
this
is
gonna
bring
to
the
area.
I
know
mrs.
Bosen
talked
about
having
people
uber
in,
but
a
lot
of
people
just
like
to
drive
myself
included.
So
we
are
gonna,
have
an
increased
influx
of
traffic
into
the
neighborhood.
That
I,
just
don't
think,
is
being
adequately
addressed
in
the
proposed
plan.
AG
As
a
point
of
clarification,
I
know
Taylor
or
miss
Bowen
said
that
she
had
made
herself
available
on
multiple
occasions
to
discuss
these
issues
and
the
good
neighborhood
agreement
kind
of
caught
her
by
surprise,
but
as
I
know
that
there
are
many
witnesses
to
this
conversation
at
our
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
meeting
on
February
20th.
Afterwards,
we
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
miss
Bowen
and
she
came
up
and
essentially
said,
I'm
no
hard
feelings.
AG
I
want
to
be
a
good
neighbor,
I'd
love
to
sign
a
good
neighborhood
agreement,
so
Tony
Colosimo
drafted
one
that
evening
and
forwarded
it
to
her
on
the
21st
the
next
day
after
so
I
think
it
is
disingenuous
to
say
that
this
was
sprung
on
her
last
minute
because
it
was
provided
to
her
the
day.
After
of
our
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
meeting
on
February
21st,
there
were
several
emails
by
Tony
casino
back
to
her.
Miss
Bo's
even
received
the
document,
miss
Bo's
and
can't
get
a
response.
AG
Several
weeks
later,
there
was
a
response
that
sorry
this
went
into
my
trash
I'll
get
I'll
get
back
to
you
on
this,
never
got
back
to
us.
Deeply
councilmember
mendelbaum
stepped
in
and
tried
mediating
this
a
little
bit.
However,
to
this
day,
we
still
have
not
received
a
response
from
Taylor
other
than
let
this
pass
today
and
I
promise
you
all
sign
this
tomorrow,
but
for
my
sake
and
I,
think
for
a
lot
of
our
neighbors
sakes.
AG
Taylor
had
said
some
things:
Taylor
has
made
statements
and
not
always
followed
through
on
them,
for
instance,
the
the
main
in
meaning
she
had
in
September
of
2019
with
a
water
brainier
Boat
Association,
where
she
stayed
she
got
a
glowing
review.
What
she
fails
to
mention
is
that
they
specifically
instructed
her
to
contact
the
neighbors
and
discuss
this
with
them,
so
that
any
concerns
could
be
alleviated.
AG
It
is
my
sincere
belief
that
if
this
had
been
a
more
transparent
and
open
process,
starting
from
the
balls,
we
could
have
hashed
out
a
lot
of
these
differences
between
now
and
then
and
frankly,
our
neighbors
could
have
spent
a
whole
lot
less
time.
I
am
in
zoning
in
City
Council
meetings,
where
we're
very
uncomfortable
speaking
in
front
of
you
guys.
This
is
not
an
area
that
we're
knowledgeable
in
and
we're
trying
our
best
to
to
present
ourselves
in
that
particular
way,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
this
could
been
avoided
if
they,
if
mrs.
AG
Bosen,
had
just
been
upfront
and
transparent
about
what
she
wanted
and
what
she
was
expecting.
The
neighbors
and
we
could
have
had
an
open
dialogue,
but
unfortunately
that
did
not
happen
so
when
she
says
trust
me
now
and
will
hash
us
out
of
planning
in
for
at
the
the
next
phase.
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
stock
in
that
scene,
I
just
don't
I
know.
AG
It
was
said
that
the
good
neighborhood
agreement
only
is
applicable
to
the
business
and
not
running
in
with
a
land,
unlike
how
it's
done
when
we
go
through
the
the
next
phase
the
conditional
use,
but
my
my
thought
is
if,
if
the
neighborhoods
concerns
are
truly
being
considered
when
we're
drafting
this
and
when
we're
looking
at
rezoning,
this
then
I
see
no
harm.
We
can
go
through
conditional
use
to
have
the
terms
run
with
the
land
and
we
can
have
a
good
neighbor
agreement
that
would
apply
to
mrs.
Bosen
and
her
business.
AG
I
think
both
would
be
appropriate
and
I
don't
see.
Any
reason
we
couldn't
do
both
so
I
would
also
join
in
my
wife's
request
to
continue
this
meeting
not
only
to
have
us
in
person
but,
more
importantly,
to
actually
maybe
sit
down
with
mr.
Mandelbaum
once
more
with
taylor
present
and
try
and
hash
out
an
agreement
and
if
she
needs
some
time
to
review
it
or
come
back
with
a
counterproposal
great
more
than
one
to
give
at
that
time.
AG
But
if
we
can
hash
this
out
in
between
now
and
our
next
meeting,
there
might
not
be
as
much
strong
opposition,
because
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
people
have
said.
You
know
we're
afraid
of
the
unknown
and
we're
gonna
have
the
worst
case
scenario
in
her
head:
it'll
be
Frank.
You
know
we
probably
do
have
the
worst
case
scenario
in
our
head,
but
I
think
additional
time
to
review
the
good
neighborhood
agreement
with
miss
Bowen
might
alleviate
a
lot
of
those
concerns,
so
that
would
be
my
request
of
the
council.
Thank.
N
N
You
know
a
couple
things,
there's
just
the
timeline
and
there's
kind
of
sequence
of
events.
You
know
this
is
my
first
time
buying
commercial
property
going
about
these.
You
know
different
steps
to
acquire
this
property
and
make
sure
that
I'm
doing
everything
correctly.
So
you
know,
do
I
I
met
with
the
Neighborhood
Association
I
thought.
I
was
doing
things
correctly
in
terms
of
that
and
I
apologize.
N
It's
you
know
the
neighbors,
don't
think
it
was
being
transparent,
but
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
initial
speeches,
I
did
put
my
contact
information
out
on
next
rap.
I
did
reach
out
to
a
couple
of
the
neighbors
and,
like
I
mentioned,
you
know,
gone
texture
for
one.
You
know
discussed
with
him
and
was
able
to
kind
of
go
through
a
couple
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
in
these
fish.
So
it's
his
house
bumping
right
up
next
to
our
property
line.
You
know,
I
just
was
under
the
assumption.
I'm.
N
All
of
my
information
out
there
for
people
to
contact
me
now.
I
did
get
a
phone
call
from
Scott.
Yesterday,
I
got
a
call
from
Anthony
Carroll
today,
they're
both
great
conversations
and
I
just
wish
that
more
people
would
have
reached
out
to
me.
I
did
email
Sarah
Flores
last
week
to
just
kind
of
discuss
and
kind
of
go
through
things
which
you
know,
I
just
asked
any
questions
before
head
or
a
bright
kid.
N
You
know
help
in
terms
of
that
and
you
know
I
got
a
three
word
response
back
and
so
I
really
want
to
try
to
you
know.
First,
you
know
persuade
and
have
people
on
my
side-
and
you
know
I
just
feel
like
I
was
being
as
transparent
as
possible
and
went
above
and
beyond
to
meet
the
neighbors
needs.
You
know,
another
thing
was
a
good
neighbor
agreement
that
I
got
from
20
cassino.
You
know
it
did
go
to
Mike's
Pam,
it
wasn't
in
my
trash
per
se,
but
you
know
I
read
through
it.
N
I
had
my
team
here
looking
through
it.
He
also
said
it
was
addressed,
as
I
mentioned
before
a
few
days
later
in
talks
with
Josh
Mandeville,
and
he
mentioned
that
they
were
going
to
get
it
to
him,
and
that
didn't
happen
until
this
past
Wednesday
and
I
might
tell
you
that
you
know
I
had
11
points
on
it
initially
and
it
jumped
to
33
points,
much
of
which
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
rezoning
of
the
property.
N
B
Pieces
well,
and
also
to
note
to
all
the
folks
that
are
on
that
that
this
is
not
the
final
reading
or
hearing
and
and
I
think
that
as
I
understand
it
at
least
to
this
moment,
listening
to
Taylor's
presentation
this
evening
and
also
councilmember
Mandelbaum,
we're
going
to
have
a
an
opportunity
to
address
additional
concerns
that
some
of
the
neighbors
have
registered
this
evening,
and
so
this
is
not
going
to
be
a
one
read
and
done
deal
no
matter
what
this
situation
is
so
David.
Thank
you
for
your
comments
and
Taylor
appreciate
your
follow
up.
J
Yeah
in
particular,
there
was
a
piece
that
that
David
mentioned
that
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
for
staff
to
provide
everyone
a
little
more
context
on
which
was
the
parking
study
question,
because
that's
something
that
I've
asked
staff
about
it's
in
our
material
that
are
in
the
packet
that
the
city
engineer
did
not
recommend
a
treant
traffic
study
for
this.
But
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
to
just
get
a
little
more
detail
on
that
process.
J

AA
Hi
everyone
good
evening,
my
name
is
Maya
Boettcher
I'm,
a
resident
of
the
Waterbury
neighborhood.
We
live
at
724,
54th,
Street,
I
own,
an
event
planning
company
in
a
flower
shop
on
Ingersoll
called
wildflower,
I've
known
Taylor
for
several
years
as
a
fellow
event,
planner
and
designer
here
in
Des,
Moines
I
have
watched
her
grow
her
business
quickly
over
the
years
and
gain
the
respect
of
her
community
as
a
reputable
businesswoman.
I
can
tell
you
from
a
lot
of
experience
that
the
business
of
event
planning
requires
a
huge
amount
of
dedication
and
responsibility.
AA
Seeing
first
fan,
Taylor's
capabilities
in
the
industry.
Leave
me
with
absolutely
no
concerns
that
this
project
in
business
will
be
very
successful
as
both
a
resident
in
business
and
business
owner
of
this
neighborhood
I
see
the
proposed
project
as
having
a
positive
influence
in
this
neighborhood
I
would
love
to
see
the
revitalization
of
this
section
of
the
63rd
and
grand
area
and
can't
help,
but
think
of
all
of
the
community
and
private
events
that
could
be
held
here
all
while
keeping
event
dollars
in
our
local
community
venue
outside
of
downtown
and
further
west.
AA
Like
hotels
leave
planners
clients
with
the
Art
Center,
which
doesn't
allow
ceremony
inside
of
the
building
and
only
holds
125
guests
outdoor
ceremony,
venue
in
Iowa
is
a
risk
for
clients
getting
married
with
selling
their
building
at
6033.
That
leaves
very
little
space
for
assembly
in
our
neck
of
the
woods
with
plenty
of
parking,
this
venue
will
be
contained
with
its
within
its
parameters:
people
think
of
parties,
but
events
like
these
are
more
than
that.
Each
event
supports
many
industry,
vendors
workers
and
staff
as
a
competing
vendor.
AA
AA
This
is
not
a
concert
venue,
but
a
place
for
dinners
gathering
ceremony,
fundraisers
and
neighborhood
events
as
a
business
owner
with
like-minded
and
creative
ideas.
I'm
thrilled
at
the
notion
that
this
project
could
go
ahead
as
planned
des
moines
is
an
exciting
town
with
so
much
potential
for
young
passionate
business
owners.
Not
only
is
the
building
and
business
and
I
a
fantastic
idea,
but
an
example
to
those
hopeful
business
owners
that
des
moines
is
a
community
driven
and
supportive
city
to
start
a
business
in.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
Thank.
B
AH
This
is
Anthony
Carroll
at
5
to
5
at
60th,
Street,
Thank,
You
mayor.
Thank
you
up
up
to
80
speak
I.
Do
so
from
I'm
at
5
to
5
and
I
can
see
the
Vet
Center
about
five
houses
down
as
I
live
on
the
street
I
hear
I
call
I.
You
know
I've
had
about
ten
different
drafts
of
what
to
say
tonight.
That
was
before
what
the
vessels
last
month
so
I,
just
simply
for
tonight,
go
with
the
mi.
AH
AH
Credentials
and
a
credible
story,
but
it
is
about
the
vote
you're
about
ready
to
take
to
vote
for
this,
and
that
boat
is
to
rezone
by
definition,
brings
more
drunk
loud
partiers
to
my
neighborhoods
and
that
and
emphasize
the
neighbors
who
live
around
this
venue.
That
is
what
you're
doing
so.
No
I
do
not
support
that.
AH
The
overwhelming
majority
of
residents
is
the
first
I've
heard
there
is
a
resident
who
lives
in
250
feet
who
supports
it.
I
guess
I'm
happy
to
hear
that,
because
literally
ever
and
I've
spoke
to
people
who
have
lost
their
jobs,
people
who
are
now
getting
a
pay
cut
opposed
this
so
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
Q
I
do
yes,
mr.
mayor
I
just
wanted
a
point
of
clarification
on
the
parking
counts.
The
numbers
were
all
over
the
place
and
I
wanted
to
ask
Michael
how
he
was
figuring,
that
my
understanding
for
the
assembly
area
is
one
parking
stall,
six
seats
and
in
this
case
the
seats
would
be
considered
the
occupant
load
and
so
I
wasn't
sure
how
he
was
getting
all
the
way
up
to
90
some
stalls.
My
understanding
is
that
a
hundred
percent
we
would
be
at
or
around
where
we're
at
right
now
at
sixty
to
sixty-five
parking
stalls.
H
K
Yes,
mayor
members
of
the
council,
again
I
was
reading
from
the
staff
report
that
went
to
the
Planning
Commission.
The
seating
capacity
analysis
at
that
point
was
250.
The
zoning
conditions
referenced
300,
so
there
could
be
some
variability
in
the
parking
numbers.
At
that
point,
we
would
make
certain
that
they
comply
with
the
code
under
the
zoning
and
site
plan
review,
as
well
as
the
conditional
use
permit.
Q
Michael,
the
I
think
that's
based
off
seven
counting
the
whole
building
as
an
occupied
assembly
area.
I
I
want
to
agree
with
you.
We
will
do
what
we
need
to
do
in
order
to
meet
the
requirements
that
were
placed
on
us
by
the
Planning
and
Zoning.
As
far
as
the
hundred
percent
and
and
we'll
work
with
the
city
staff
on
that.
B
AG
One
of
my
questions
was
about
the
parking,
so
I
appreciate
the
clarification
on
that
I
guess
and
some
of
that
I
guess
I.
Don't
you
talk
about
that
anymore?
One
of
the
other
questions
I
had
I've
been
jotting
notes
down,
so
forgive
me
I,
just
misplaced
it,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
we
I
know
miss
Bowen
had
said
Mr
texter,
their
direct
neighbor
is
is
in
favor
of
this
project.
To
my
knowledge,
based
upon
the
packet
that
was
submitted
to
the
council,
he
signed
in
opposition
of
this
proposal
on
page
61
of
88.
AG
He
is
the
second
name
list
on
the
sign,
the
petition
that
is
opposed
to
this
now,
if
there's
been
something
that's
been
submitted
since
then,
I
stand
to
be
corrected,
but
that's
my
knowledge
and
there
really
is
not
any
neighborhood
support
for
this
project.
It
was
only
a
point
of
clarification.
That's
all
I
have
that.
B
AI
Yeah,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
good
evening,
thirty
years,
my
husband
and
I
home
on
Waterbury
circle,
we
worked
alongside
our
neighbors,
investing
time
and
money
to
improve
and
maintain
our
neighborhood
and
community.
This
current
experience
with
our
city
and
white
willow
project
has
been
really
disturbing.
As
for
weeks
when
we
tried
to
get
information
and
find
an
avenue
to
push
back
on
this
project,
we've
gotten
nothing
but
smug,
don't
bother.
It's
a
done
deal,
attitudes
and
responses
even
from
employees
of
Taylor's.
AI
It
appears
that
the
white
willow
event
center
was
endorsed
long
before
those
who
will
be
most
impacted
were
ever
notified
of
the
plans.
It's
bothered
us
from
the
beginning
that
in
the
previous
planning,
a
zoning
meetings,
white
willow
was
promoted
and
endorsed,
mostly
my
employees
and
vendors
for
architect,
errors,
photographers
and
others
all
people
who
stand
to
prosper
from
her
business
to
handle
the
family,
friends
and
Waterbury
residents
who
support
the
center
live
more
than
a
half
mile
and
up
to
two
miles
away.
AI
They
are
not
the
families
who
will
be
directly
impacted
by
this
project,
I'd
like
to
remind
everyone
that,
once
we
also
found
out
that
the
Waterbury
Association
had
endorsed
this
project,
we
met
with
them
and
I
believe
I
well,
I
know
that
they
resubmitted
asking
you
to.
Please
consider
the
issues
and
concerns
that
those
of
us
who
are
directly
impacted
have
regarding
this
project.
AI
Another
issue
that
I
have
is,
and
again
it's
been
addressed
this
evening,
but
I
want
to
just
say:
I
was
actually
one
of
the
people
at
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Committee
meeting
the
Taylor
came
up
to
and
volunteered
to
sign
a
good
neighbor
agreement.
She
received
a
good
neighbor
agreement
the
very
next
day
and
had
it
we
never
calling
to
even
say
I've
got
it.
Let's
set
up
a
meeting
to
review.
Let's
talk
about
this
anything
like
that
now.
O
AI
Ultimately,
the
majority
of
those
that
live
directly
around
or
right
over
the
ridge
believes
that
white
will
is
proposed.
Events
Center
is
not
a
good
fit
for
our
neighborhood.
Why
would
you
want
to
squeeze
a
very
sizable
new
building
on
two
awkward
shaped
Lots
situated
in
a
floodplain
lacking
adequate
adjacent
parking
with
the
neighbors,
whose
back
doors
open
directly
onto
your
property
and
your
patio?
It
doesn't
make
sense
to
any
of
us,
the
very
nature
of
their
business.
AI
Finally,
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
Waterbury
continues
to
experience,
aggravation
and
controversy
because
of
the
late
night,
very
loud
noise
that
frequently
emanates
from
the
Valliere
ballroom.
I
know
they
have
stronger
equipment,
but
they
are
not
sitting
right
in
our
neighborhood.
We
have
already
lost
good
neighbors
over
this
issue
and
do
not
want
to
lose
others
because
of
an
event
center
located
even
closer
to
our
neighborhood.
Thank
you.

AD

J
Everyone
who
is
a
part
of
the
applicants,
team,
I,
appreciate
hearing
from
everyone
and
has
appreciated
that
as
as
part
of
this
process,
you
know
one
thing
that
is
particularly
obvious
when
talking
with
the
neighbors.
It
is
how
deeply
that
you
all
care
about
your
neighborhood
in
your
community
I
think
I've
gotten
a
sense
of
that
firsthand.
With
with
a
number
of
you,
you
know,
I've
talked
with
a
number
of
the
folks
who've
spoken
tonight.
I've
actually
toured
the
neighborhood
with
I.
J
Think
five
of
you
and
and
exchanged
emails
with
others
and
I
appreciate
how
much
you
care
about
the
neighborhood
and
the
concerns
that
you
have
with
this
project.
I've
also
had
a
chance
to
talk
extensively
with
with
Taylor
about
the
project
and
and
actually
a
number
of
the
conversations
I've
had
with
Taylor
have
been
informed
by
the
conversations
I've
had
with
neighbors
the
questions
that
I've
asked
her.
J
You
know
this
project
like
many
of
the
issues
that
we
face
on
council
requires
us
to
get
a
balance
right.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
redevelop
an
underutilized
deteriorating
commercial
property
on
one
of
the
major
corridors
of
our
city.
The
property
is
also
adjacent
to
a
strong,
active
neighborhood,
with
a
well-established
sense
of
community
and
and
Inter,
and
the
way
things
currently
work
so
part
of
what
our
goal
is.
A
council
when
we
listen
to
neighbors
when
we
work
with
applicants,
is
to
try
and
get
that
balance
right.
AI
J
I
will
also
say:
I
think
that
we
have
work
left
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
balance
right
between
a
successful
project
and
in
the
neighborhood
and
I
heard
at
the
beginning
of
the
discussion
on
this
item.
That
Taylor
and
the
folks
at
White
willow
are
willing
to
work
through
some
of
those
remaining
issues
as
part
of
the
multiple
readings
and
the
multiple
processes
that
are
in
place,
so
that
we
can
hopefully
continue
to
improve
on
that
balance
and
get
this
right.
J
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
tonight
is
I'm
going
to
move
the
first
reading
of
this,
because
I
think
you've
already
seen
part
of
the
balancing
and
part
of
what
has
happened.
Just
in
the
in
the
last
week
after
the
neighbors
sent
me
the
the
latest
version
of
what
they
were
calling
the
good
neighbor
agreement.
J
J
All
of
those
have
been
raised
and
and
I
think
in
various
ways
we
have
opportunities
or
ways
that
we
can
address
them.
For
example,
the
building
design
that
mr.
Biderman
talked
about
will
will
help
with
with
the
noise
and
by
the
way,
it's
something
that
the
applicant
needs
to
get
right,
because
if
the
noise
is
not
right,
the
noise
ordinance
back
that
up.
So,
if
she's
out
of
compliance
with
the
noise
ordinance,
not.
AI
J
Another
piece
is,
you
know
the
transition
that
this
property
has
going
into
the
neighborhood,
and
this
wasn't
talked
about
as
much,
but
the
city
in
our
in
our
code
has
landscaping
requirements,
and
that
includes
a
buffer
space
between
the
directly
adjoining
neighborhood
residential
properties.
It
includes
I
believe
a
requirement
for
a
privacy
fence,
and
it
includes
landscaping,
including
major
shrubbery
and
landscaping,
trees,
that
that
will
all
help
provide
provide
that
buffer
and
that's
the
requirement
just
by
city
code
that
exists
in
this
process.
J
There
are
I
think
some
some
levels
this
case
I
want
to
talk
specifically
about
the
zoning
conditions
and
what
comes
next,
the
zoning
conditions
are,
by
their
nature,
a
little
bit
broader
than
what
can
be
done
at
in
a
conditional
use
permit.
So,
for
example,
I
think,
there's
been
a
little
bit
of
confusion
about
the
300
versus
250.
The
event
space
has
a
my
understanding,
250
person,
seated
capacity.
J
The
event
space
has
more
more
capacity
than
that
as
proposed
and
designed.
If,
if
there
are
not
9
seated
events,
for
example,
like
a
chamber
mix
and
mingle,
where
there's
not
a
seated
event
but
but
sort
of
a
handful
of
standing
tables,
and
you
have
an
after-work
event,
so
there's
the
ability
to
accommodate
more
there.
J
The
zoning
would
would
allow
for
that.
But
we
can
continue
to
get
these
details
right
and
further
get
this
balance
right
as
part
of
the
conditional
use
piece
and
that's
something
that
I'm
willing
to
do
and
willing
to
work
through
with
neighbors
and
I.
I've
tried
to
be
willing
and
open
to
talk
with
neighbors
throughout
this
process
and
continue
and
will
continue
to
be
open
to
talking
with
neighbors
throughout
this
process.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
that's
challenging
is
sometimes
there's
miscommunication
via
email
and
and
I.
I
understand
that
I
think
it's.
J
It's
happened
in
several
directions
during
this
process,
but
I
think
we
can
get
past
that
and
I'm
committed
to
working
to
get
past
that,
because
the
goal
is
to
get
the
balance
right.
Not
everyone
will
necessarily
be
happy
with
every
piece
of
of
this,
but
the
hope
is
in
the
long
term
we
end
up
with
is
a
business
that
the
community
and
the
neighborhood
can
be
proud
of,
while
we
still
have
a
strong
neighborhood
that
that
embodies
the
spirit
of
so
many
of
the
folks
that
we've
heard
tonight
and
so
in
moving
this
item
forward.
B
A
B
So
essentially,
four
weeks
ago,
this
was
up
agenda
and
we
continued
that
hearing
to
get
more
input
and
so
again
to
follow
up
with
Josh.
We
appreciate
everybody's
input
this
evening
and
we
appreciate
Taylor's
willingness
to
to
address
again
some
of
those
concerns
and
talk
about
how
we
move
forward,
getting
some
things
in
not
just
as
a
good
neighbor
agreement,
but
something
that
lasts
with
the
property
under
any
consequence
under
any
circumstance.
So
I
would
ask
that
the
clerk
to
please
take
a
role
on
Josh's
motion.
County.
E
B
All
right
again,
thank
you,
everybody
for
attending
and
being
part
of
this.
This
is
important
that
we
get
input
from
all
angles
on
this.
It's
a
long-standing
piece
of
our
Westside
and
an
important
property.
That's
been
pretty
much
abandoned
for
the
last
nine
years
and
let's
try
to
make
the
best
thing
happen.
B
AJ
You,
mr.
mayor,
it's
very
good
to
hear
all
of
your
voices
also
attending
this
meeting
with
me
for
Hope
Ministries,
our
Leon
Nagin
who's,
the
heir
of
Hope
Ministries,
Mike,
Kastner,
who's,
the
architect
with
a
studio
and
mics
lame
with
Swaim
appraisal.
Our
request
is
explained
very
well
in
your
staff
packet.
AJ
The
proposal
is
for
a
PUD
rezoning
to
allow
for
a
100
bed,
women
and
children
center
in
the
former
Douglass
school
at
3800,
East
Douglas,
the
repose
I'll,
have
supported
the
staff
in
your
plan
and
Zoning
Commission
myself
or
any
members
of
the
team
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Leon
Megan
can
answer
any
questions
you
have
for
Hope
Ministries
Mike
Kastner
can
answer
any
questions
you
have
on
the
plan,
which
is
in
your
packet
and
I.
Think
Kay
has
it
available.
AJ
If
you
want
to
look
at
it,
Mike
Swain
can
answer
any
questions
on
evaluation
analysis
that
he
completed
of
surrounding
properties
before
and
after
a
center
is
open,
and
that
study
is
in
your
packet
we'd
request.
First
reading
of
the
ordinance
and
we'd
welcome
any
questions
you'd
have
of
myself
or
my
team.
B
Y
Y
So
my
name
is
crystal
loving:
I
live
at
38
48
East
Douglas
Avenue,
which
is
the
house
that
sits
just
east
of
the
property.
That's
under
consideration.
I
live
here
with
my
husband
into
elementary
age,
children.
My
husband
and
I,
moved
into
this
property
about
12
years
ago
and
have
started
our
family.
I
was
noted
in
Prior
meetings
related
to
the
rezoning,
the
property
we
do
not
currently
have
any
major
objections
to
the
rezoning
or
the
sale
of
the
property.
Y
One
point
of
clarification
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
find
is
the
clarity
on
the
age
of
adolescent
males
that
will
be
allowed
at
the
facility.
We
haven't
gotten
strong
confirmation
on
what
that
age
capital
be
and
while
there's
been
concerned
about
vehicle
traffic,
we've
been
assured
that
the
activity
at
the
center
will
be
on
the
north
west
end
of
the
building.
Y
Many
folks
in
the
neighborhood
may
not
realize
that
the
building
is
currently
used
for
outside
classes
and
events
that
center
on
the
east
side
of
the
property
which
is
adjacent
to
us,
and
so
we
would
like
the
prime
entry
exit
to
stay
on
the
north
west
side
of
the
building
for
the
new
center
I.
Think
for
us.
Overall.
We
find
it
unfortunate
that
our
city
has
a
growing
homeless
problem
this
problem
and
that
there's
increased
capacity
needs
for
a
larger
women
and
children
center.
Y
Overall
in
our
city,
as
the
number
of
affordable
housing
units
in
Des
Moines
decreases,
the
need
for
facility
to
select
facilities
accommodating
populations
in
need
will
only
increase
what
we
do
not
completely
agree
with
the
religious
restrictions
placed
on
residents
of
Hope
Ministries
facility.
The
services
by
the
proposed
Center
are
needed
in
our
city
and
we
are
glad
various
groups
are
meeting
the
needs.
We
also
appreciate
that
private
funds
will
be
used
to
develop
and
improve
the
property
and
that
the
density
will
be
limited.
Essentially
we're
not
talking
about
another
apartment
complex
in
our
neighborhood.
Y
No
person
should
be
without
safe
shelter,
especially
a
child.
The
dignity
and
calm
that
comes
from
knowing
one
will
have
a
safe
and
secure
location
to
stay
when
the
Sun
Goes
Down
is
so
key
to
daily
success.
We
even
heard
at
some
of
our
previous
meetings
over
1200
students
in
the
des
moines
public
school
system
have
some
level
of
homelessness
throughout
the
school
year.
So
we
believe
that
having
a
facility
like
this
can
help
limit
drama
and
distress.
Y
The
students
allowing
children
to
learn
at
school
or
women
to
perform
in
a
job,
safe,
reliable
shelter,
is
a
basic
need,
and
there
are
fellow
des
moines
residents
that
obviously
need
this
Center
and
resource
I've
heard
the
many
concerns
of
my
neighbors
and
understand
many
of
them,
as
my
husband
and
I
shared
some
of
the
concerns
initially
as
well.
But
after
learning
more,
we
find
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
live
into
our
values.
Y
I
find
it
unfortunate
that
we
didn't
have
better
community
meetings
early
on
and,
unfortunately,
we
did
not
have
discussions
as
community
outside
heated
public
debate,
and
this
has
gone
on
through
different
social
media
websites
and
instead
of
having
a
strong
community
discussion.
This
is
sort
of
come
out
is
a
heated
topic,
but
overall
we
think
that
this
is
a
facility,
that's
needed.
We
see.
This
is
a
good
use
of
facility
and
we
hope
that
shared
in
gardens
and
the
surrounding
area
can
becoming
a
welt
a
welcome
place
for
this
new
center
in
the
neighborhood.
AK
AK
My
name
is
Chantel
and
I'm
recovering
addict
I
had
the
opportunity
to
go
through
hopes,
life
recovery
program
from
2013
to
2015
and
I
can
honestly
tell
you
that
it
changed
my
life
and
gave
me
the
skills
to
be
the
woman.
I
always
wanted
to
be,
but
at
the
time
never
thought
I
could
today,
I
have
a
great
job.
I'm,
a
mother
daughter,
sister,
aunt
and
friend
they
deserve
I,
am
completely
off
of
government
assistance
and
continue
to
work
toward
my
goals
in
life.
AK
AK
I
Okay,
well
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone.
Who's
taken
part
in
these
discussions.
I
I
believe
that
we've
come
a
long
ways,
I
view
our
city
as
being
very
successful,
I
consider
Ward
2
as
being
very
successful,
but
I
think
how
we
measure
our
successes
is
is
how
well
we
help
others
be
successful,
and
that's
what
Hope
Ministries
brings
and
I
believe
that
it
will
be
a
good
addition
to
our
community.
Most
of
the
people
are
already
that
that
reside
at
the
facilities.
I
B
B
A
A
B
AL
C
X
AB
AB
I
A
A
AI
AB
D
Wanted
to
follow
up
with
what
Linda
and
the
other
speakers
have
talked
about
when
I
toured
the
facility
over
on
Universe
East
University.
The
work
that
they
do
is
tremendous.
This
gives
us
great
opportunity
to
I.
Think
Crystal's
point
it's
too
bad
that
we
have
to.
We
need
more
facilities
like
this
for
more
people,
because,
hopefully
we
can
give
them
the
care
and
the
help
that
they
need
and
I
appreciate,
being
able
to
see
in
person
the
work
and
talking
to
some
of
the
residents.
D
This
is
much
different
than
but
I
think
some
people
think
of
a
homeless.
This
is
a
transitional
housing.
People
are
not
coming
and
going
being
put
out
in
the
morning
and
then
come
back
at
night.
So
I
think
that
this
is
a
much
more
secure.
The
one
question
I
had
was
I
know
there
was
talk
about
possibly
putting
the
office
and
I
just
wanted
to
get
that
part
in.
Is
that
still
part
of
the
plan?
I
believe
so
there's
not
only
will
be
transitional
housing.
There
will
also
be
hope,
ministries,
office,
space.
D
But
so
in
that
regards
I
think
it's
even
more,
where
they'll
be
much
more
oversight
to
and
I
think
they're
like
I
said
most
of
the
people
that
probably
traveled
up
and
down
East
University
never
knew
that
they
even
existed.
They
fit
into
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
we're
good
neighbors.
So
I
appreciate
the
rebut
he's
done
and
I
appreciate
people's
concerns,
but
I
think
that
this
is
an
important
project
for
the
City
of
Des
Moines,
to
provide
even
more
help
for
people
in
need.
D
B

B
F
AJ
Thanks
to
your
question
we
have
had,
and
Leon
has
had
discussions
with
MS
loving
on
these
matters.
We
did
make
modifications
in
the
plan,
as
she
indicated,
to
allow
for
a
passageway
through
the
fence
on
the
east
side
of
the
property.
We
are
not
yet
at
site
plan
on
this
matter
and
we
will
refine
the
things
that
Ms,
loving
is
asking
for
at
the
time
of
the
site
plan
when
it
comes
through.
AJ
I
Joe,
if
I
may,
this
is
Westergaard
and
if
I
could
just
add,
the
neighbors
were
concerned
about
having
the
sign
for
the
center
face
directly
toward
their
houses,
and
so
we
did
send
over
to
the
city
today.
Some
modifications
just
asking
that
the
wall
or
building
sign,
that's
shown
on
the
conceptual
plan,
be
relocated
to
the
west
or
north
elevations
of
the
building,
and
that
the
existing
monument
sign
that
shown
on
the
conceptual
plan
is
going.
We
want
it
to
be
relocated
to
have
the
monument
to
be
perpendicular
to
East.
I
F
F
B
All
right,
I'd
like
to
quickly
ask
Beverly
who
I
think
it
was
having
a
little
bit
of
trouble
Beverly
if
you
would
push
star
9
and
get
your
hand
back
up,
we'll
try
to
put
you
back
to
to
speak,
and
hopefully
we
have
your
issues
ironed
out
or
hopefully
maybe
the
reconnect
will
do
it.
I
see
that
you're
on
but
again
push
star
9
and
we'll
get
you
back
in
the
queue
the
moment
we
have
another
individual
Charles.
W
Thank
You,
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Charles
Cole.
Actually,
I
am
the
pastor
of
experience.
Church,
3,800,
East,
Douglas
Avenue
we're
the
property
that
Hope
Ministries
is
looking
to
purchase
and
renovate
for
the
women
with
children,
shelter
and
we
just
want
to
say
I,
don't
like
me
a
shock
to
you,
but
we're
in
favor
of
it,
and
we
are
excited
about
it
just
because
we
believe
that
the
east
side
needs
more
services
like
this.
We
could
have.
W
You
know,
entertained
ideas
or
actually
sales
from
people
that
are
putting
up
a
lot
of
apartments
and
other
type
of
businesses
there.
But
our
people
voted
unanimously
and
hope
approached
us,
because
hopes
mission
is
very
very
similar
to
ours,
helping
people
and
the
exciting.
Because
while
we
can't
say
where
we've.
M
I
It
looks
like
we
have
plenty
of
support,
and
you
know
we've
heard
from
lots
of
neighbors
that
are
that
are
definitely
supportive
of
it.
I
had
said
that
I
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
and
waive
the
third
reading,
but
go
ahead
and
give
the
second
reading
just
as
a
way
for
the
neighbors
to
voice
any
concerns,
but
we're
not
really
hearing
any.
So.
Oh.
I
D
Only
I
just
right,
I'll,
just
only
because
and
I
am
supportive
of
it
only
because
we
have
other
people
that
are
not
being
able
to
get
through.
I
could
see
the
third
reading,
but
I
think
we
should
give
it
another
reading.
Only
because
of
the
meetings
that
they
had
before
I
appreciate
that
I
mean
you
were
I'm
supportive
of
it,
but
I
think
that
we
should
wait
for
one
more
reading.
B
I
agree
and
Linda.
Thank
you.
I
think
Beverly
was
one
of
the
people
that
had
some
concerns
and
I
for
whatever
reason
she's
had
trouble
getting
on
with
us
and
I
think
we'd
love
to
have
her
input
either
in
writing
or
some
way
I
think
I
have
received
a
an
email
or
two
from
her
and
I
think
we
all
have
but
I
think
it's
appropriate
to
maybe
waived
the
third
one,
but
have
one
more
reading.
That's.
J
E
J
There
is
a
tremendous
need
in
our
community
and
organizations,
like
hope,
really
help
fill
that
that
need
I
look
forward
to
I
was
actually
scheduled
to
tour
the
East
University
facility,
I
think
it
was
March
17th,
and
so
that
was
after
we're
implementing
social
distancing,
and
then
we
decided
it
was
better
to
hold
off
on
that.
But
I
look
forward
to
seeing
that
firsthand.
J
I
also
wanted
to
say
or
to
commend
council
member
Westergaard
for
the
good
work
that
that
she's
done
in
engaging
the
neighbors
and
and
helping
bridge
some
of
the
gaps
on
this
project.
I
think
that
I
am
impressed
with
the
leadership
that
you've
shown
on
this
and
help
them
get
a
really
important
project
for
our
community
through
and
so
want
to.
Thank
you
for
your
your
effort
on
that.
I
think
we'll
all
benefit
from
it.
Thank.
B
L
Comment
now
might
as
well.
Alright.
Well
I
want
to
tell
you
I.
We
have
Hope
Ministries
in
Bethel
nation
over
on
sixth
Avenue
and
the
work
that
they've
done
is
absolutely
phenomenal.
When
Leon
approached
me
about
about
this
project
on
the
east
side,
I
said
you
know,
this
has
got
to
be
the
best
things
can
be
happening,
I
understand
when
I
said
you've
got
to
get
out
in
front.
You
gotta
get
a
Linda
engaged
on
this
and
you
got
to
get
with
the
neighbor,
though
it's
follow
that
advice.
L
The
thing
that
that
impressed
me
so
much
is
that
Bethel
mission
and
Hope
Ministries
over
on
6th
Avenue
only
cater
to
men,
this
so
having
the
women's
facility
on
the
east
side.
It
was
desperately
needed
I'm,
absolutely
glad
to
see
they
were
moving
forward
on
this
I
can't
tell
you
how
much
of
a
benefit
it
is
for
us
to
have
old
ministries
over
my
side
of
town
doing
the
work
eat
their
once
a
month
discuss
neighborhood
issues,
we've
had
Jeff
Lester's
been
down
there.
We've
had
de
Moines
police
down
there.
L
A
AJ
B
Thank
you
taste
item
47,
a
request
from
living
water
fellowship
just
Dagon
is
the
officer
to
rezone
property
that
31
61,
southeast
22nd
Street
from
be
to
public
Civic
and
institutional
to
rx1
mixed-use.
To
allow
for
the
conversion
of
the
premises
to
a
daycare
use
is
the
first
consideration
for
the
above.
F
Z
F
B
E
B
Right,
let's
quickly
skip
back
to
46,
which
is
on
a
request
for
the
Iowa
homeless,
youth
centers,
Toby
old,
reads:
the
officer
to
amend
the
plan
DSM,
creating
arts
tomorrow,
future
land-use
masses,
Nathan
in
a
rezone
2705

from

mixed
use
to
allow
the
development
of
the
property
for
business
and
slash
trade,
school
use
and
offices
for
youth
training.
A
is
the
first
consideration,
the
ordinance
above
again
item
46,
I
I
will
homeless
youth
shelters
for
a
training
center.
B
AM
Thanks
for
letting
me
speak
a
little
bit
about
our
project
that
we're
looking
to
create.
So
this
is
a
specific
program
at
Iowa,
homeless.
Youth
centers
for
youth
that
have
aged
out
of
the
foster
care
system,
so
really
kind
of
you
to
be
given
a
tough
hand
at
life
and
the
the
age
range
would
be
18
to
22
year
olds,
and
it
would
be
a
workforce
training
program
which
is
social
entrepreneurial
business
that
will
be
self-sufficient,
generate
a
positive
cash
flow
for
our
agency,
but
also
provide
youth
with
workforce
training
skills.
AM
AM
What
it
is
is
rooftop
gardens,
which
is
a
greenhouse
hydroponic
farm,
where
we
will
grow
over
a
thousand
plants
a
week
that
our
youth
will
help
all
the
way
from
seedlings
up
to
growing,
to
packaging.
To
distributing
and
hyvee
has
agreed
to
partner
with
us
in
this
project
and
will
purchase
all
the
produce
that
we
grow
at
a
set
price.
So
really
all
we
have
to
focus
on
is
providing
skills
with
our
youth
as
well
as
growing
these
plants.
So
it's
a
two
million
dollar
project.
AM
It's
on
a
vacant
parcel
land
on
East
Euclid,
it's
been
empty
for
many
years
and
it's
awful
kinda
in
a
transition
period.
So
when
we
got
this
project
in
this
site
under
contract,
it
was
owned.
Commercial
on
the
east
side
is
a
commercial
property
on
the
I'm.
Sorry
on
the
west
side
is
commercial
property
on
the
east
side
is
residential,
and
so
in
December
it
reverted
back
to
a
residential
zoning.
AM
So
we're
recommending
that
the
council
approve
a
motion
to
amend
the
zoning
back
to
commercial,
so
we're
able
to
provide
this
workforce
training
program
and
a
couple
offices
on
site.
We
met
with
Fairmont
Park
Neighborhood
Association
and
Douglas
acres,
Associate
Neighborhood
Association,
it
kind
of
straddles
both
neighborhoods
Douglas
acres
is
very
supportive.
Joe
jungwirth
who's,
their
president,
has
written
a
letter
of
support
for
the
project.
Fairmont
Park
had
a
little
bit
of
more
concern,
they're
more
of
a
residential
element.
AM
We
feel
like
we've
alleviated,
there's
concerns
by
reducing
the
parking
component
that
would
encroach
and
you're
some
of
the
residential,
as
well
as
putting
up
more
landscaping
and
privacy
screening.
So
we're
excited
about
this
project.
Simonson
&
Associates
is
the
architect
rashon
construction
is
the
general
contractor
and
we're
just
looking
forward
to
building
this
workforce
training
program
in
the
coming
months.
I
Mayor
I
would
like
to
just
make
a
couple
of
comments
before
I
make
the
motion,
and
that
is
that
this
is
a
really
exciting
project,
I'm
delighted
that
they
brought
it
to
the
location
where
they
have
chosen
to
be
I
want
to
say
a
shout
out
to
javi.
I
know
that
javi
has
has
partnered
with
other
groups
to
have
gardens
where
they
are
buying
the
produce,
it's
so
exciting
to
know
that
we'll
have
produce.
That
is
very,
very
fresh
and
you
know
grown
right
in
our
neighborhood
and
I.
Just
thank
them
for
that
and
I.
I
Think
Toby
Toby's
been
really
wonderful,
with
providing
information
and
letting
the
neighbors
know
about
about
this
program.
They've
addressed
all
of
the
concerns
and
I
appreciate
that
I'm
excited
I
can't
wait
for
it
to
start
construction
with
that.
I
would
move

It's

over
here
on
the
on
our
side
of
town
and
there's
over
a
million
dollar
project
and
the
work
they
did
was
a
not
absolutely
great
job.
Well,
then,
I
know
you're
going
to
enjoy
the
work
they
have
over
there
at

So
just
want

thanks.

to
our
first
responders,
I've
got
to
tell
you
they've
been
doing
a
great
job
and
I
know
that
Ben
has
been
watching
everything
on
the
public
safety
side
in
the
parks
and
making
sure
that
people
are
properly
distancing
during
this
koba
outbreak
and
I
know
that
three
probably
are
going
to
be
making
some
more
decisions
but
they're
doing
it
all
in
the
best
interest
of
our
citizens.
