B
A
You
due
to
the
increased
community
transmission
of
covert
19
in
polk
county.
We
have
implemented
a
face
covering
requirement
in
city
buildings.
The
requirement
applies
to
both
staff
and
the
visiting
public
and
includes
attendance
at
council
meetings.
If
you
do
not
have
a
face
covering
one
will
be
provided
for
you.
A
A
All
persons
desiring
to
address
the
council
may
do
so
only
when
recognized
by
the
mayor,
but
the
council
reserves
the
right
to
limit
the
speaker's
time
and
the
order
in
which
the
speakers
may
address
the
council
under
section
2-7
of
the
city
code.
It
is
illegal
to
interrupt
any
person
who
is
addressing
the
council
except
by
a
council
member,
and
it
is
illegal
to
disrupt
the
council
meeting.
A
Everyone
in
attendance
has
first
amendment
rights
and
any
disruptive
conduct
by
one
person
or
group
impinges
on
the
rights
of
others
present.
So
disruptive
conduct
will
not
be
tolerated
if
the
meeting
is
disrupted.
The
public
speaking
portion
of
the
meeting
may
be
moved
to
the
next
in-person
meeting,
which
is
not
disrupted.
A
A
G
F
C
The
record
and
for
the
public
that
because
of
the
seating
arrangement
you're
sitting
in
the
the
presiding
officer's
chair
and
but
that
is
the
visual
display,
is
showing
county
and
no
vote
by
westergard.
But
apparently
the
votes
tonight
by
county
will
be
registered
and
officially
will
be
westergard
votes.
A
So
we'll
move
right
into
the
hearing
items
which
is
to
begin
at
five
o'clock
and
as
a
reminder
for
those
items
where
public
comment
is
not
taken
or
to
convey
information
generally
to
the
council
or
the
city
manager
des
moines
residents
are
encouraged
to
submit
letters
or
emails
texts
or
phone
calls,
with
additional
comments
or
information
to
ensure
they
are
sharing
the
information
they
would
like
shared
with.
With
that
we
move
into
the
hearing
items
and
for
the
hearing
this
evening
we
have
four
zoning
items
number
46
through
49.
A
A
A
A
So
with
that,
do
you
want
me
to
read
this?
No
yeah,
that's
just
later:
okay,
we'll
move
right
into
the
hearings

the
proposed
2022

was

Are
there
any

that

like

this
item
or
those
living
within
250
feet
of

A
On
request
from
smokers,
genie,
2,
llc,
cooljit
quan,
the
officer
to
rezone
3733
easton
boulevard
from
mx1
mixed-use
district
to
mx2
mixed-use
district
to
allow
reuse
of
the
property
for
fuel
station
use
with
wine
and
beer
cells
through
the
conditional
use
approval
process.
A
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
ordinance
above
and
b.
Is
the
final
consideration
of
ordnance
above
and
the
waiver
was
requested
by
kujitshan
the
officer
which
will
require
six
votes.
A
A
E
A
E
Tem
michael
ludwig
development
service,
deputy
director
of
development
services
for
the
city
of
des
moines,
the
rezoning
request
originally
submitted
by
the
applicant,
was
for
mx3
zoning
on
the
property.
The
planning
commission
recommended
mx2
zoning
on
the
property
that
would
make
a
fuel
sales
business
subject
to
a
conditional
use
from
the
zoning
board
of
adjustment.
E
They
would
also
have
to
seek
a
conditional
use
for
liquor
sales
on
the
property
and
receive
a
variance
from
the
board
of
adjustment
to
the
500
foot
separation
requirement
from
a
church
school
daycare
or
park.
So
they
have
three
very
large
hurdles
to
meet
on
that
side
of
things
if
they
wanted
to
only
seek
beer
and
wine
sales
on
the
property,
that
would
only
require
a
conditional
use
permit
for
the
sea
store
and
then
relief
for
the
150
foot.
Separation
from
a
church,
school
or
daycare.
E
So
stap
believes
that
the
planning
commission's
recommendation
can
be
adequately
protecting
the
neighborhood's
interests.
We
don't
anticipate
staff
recommending
approval
of
liquor
sales
on
the
property,
but
based
on
the
discussion,
the
planning
commission
there's
reasonableness
in
requesting
beer
and
wine
sales
on
the
property.
E
A
D
Thank
you
mayor
pro
temp
westergard.
I
just
want
to
do
first
off
appreciate
the
efforts
of
the
city,
manager's
office
and
city
staff,
engineering
and
others
that
brought
this
to
our
attention.
I
mean
we
have
a
jewel
of
land
out
there
that
I
believe
can
be
used.
The
army
post
road
corridor
for
future
development
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
the
study,
the
corridor
for
traffic.
D
That
is
obviously
the
first
step,
so
we
can
get
some
get
some
properties
out
there
that
are
ready,
shovel
ready
for
developers
to
come
in
whether
it
be
job
centers,
whether
it
be
residential.
So
I
appreciate
the
efforts
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
moving
this
forward.
I
know
the
safety
aspect
on
southeast
36
we've
been
looking
at
that
and
this
will.
This
will
give
us
a
clear
picture
of
what
we
need
to
do
on
that
on
that
intersection.
D
A
H
F
H
Protem
us,
I
was
going
to
move
to
continue
this
item
until
such
time
as
a
traffic
study
is
completed
in
this
area,
and
I
I
think
that
may
save
discussion
now.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
concern
from
the
residents
who
who
live
in
this
stretch
and
they
have
a
very
strong
preference
that
we
take
a
holistic
look
at
this
area
and
I
think,
that's
appropriate
before
we
move
forward.
H
A
D
Your
honor
just
a
quick
comment:
okay,
I'm
I'm
fine
with
this
this
amendment,
the
the
thing
that
I
don't
like
is
that
it
doesn't
put
us
on
an
even
playing
field
with
the
rest
of
the
communities.
Unfortunately,
other
communities
have
decided
not
to
participate
in
there,
where
their
growth
is
expanding.
Tremendously,
not
saying
that
that's
the
reason
that
their
growth
is
expanding
but
they're,
some
of
the
things
that
are
in
these
standards,
which
I'm
not
saying
that
I
disagree
with
them
it
just.
D
I
wish
we
had
a
county-wide
ordinance
that
everyone
would
participate
and
we
were
all
on
the
same
playing
field.
This
does
not
do
that
for
for
us
and
in
other
communities,
but
you
know
we
will
we
will.
We
will
continue
to
do
the
right
things
in
other
communities,
for
our
environment
and
other
communities
will
continue
not
to
do
those
things
and
and
it
will
lower
their
their
cost
of
building,
and
it
will
continue
to
drive
them
to
other
communities
that
aren't
meeting
by
these
same
standards.
D
H
And
to
be
clear,
most
of
the
other
communities
in
the
metro
have
adopted
this
there's
there's
just
I
think.
Right
now
I
mean
we're
still
waiting
on
on
others,
but
there's
right,
one
in
particular
that
has
voted
this
down
yeah
and
they
and
that
particular
community
is
upstream
from
us
in
a
watershed
that
has
been
prone
to
flooding.
G
J
D
H
A
Thank
you.
Next
is
the
request
to
speak
as
follows,
and
I
just
want
to
remind
people
for
those
people
wishing
to
speak
this
evening
under
the
public
speaking
item
of
the
agenda.
We
will
only
be
calling
on
those
who
have
registered
to
speak.
All
speakers
must
comply
with
the
rules
regarding
their
names
and
addresses,
or
they
will
not
be
recognized
to
speak.
Each
of
the
eight
speakers
this
evening
will
receive
up
to
two
minutes
to
make
their
comments.
A
Please
keep
your
own
time
because
at
the
end
of
two
minutes
the
clerk
will
announce
time
and
the
speaker's
mic
will
be
closed
and
we
will
move
immediately
to
the
next
speaker.
We
want
to
hear
from
all
of
our
residents
and
we
encourage
residents
to
be
respectful
of
other
viewpoints
that
are
different
from
their
own.
While
you
may
certainly
disagree
with
that
viewpoint,
I
want
to
remind
everyone
that
council's
rules
provide
that
any
comments
that
are
slanderous
will
result
in
the
speaker
being
barred
from
further
comment.
A
K
Thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
in
front
of
you
tonight.
My
name
is
ethan
carpenter.
I'm
the
regional
maintenance
manager
for
lloyd
property
management
based
out
of
sioux
falls
south
dakota,
I'm
also
here
as
a
representative
for
hickman
partners,
llc
based
out
of
omaha
nebraska,
I
mean
here
in
regards
to
the
property
located
at
2400
hickman
road.
In
des
moines,
known
as
hickman
flats,
you
may
have
heard
of
hickman
flats
or
royal
oaks
apartments.
K
Previously,
before
the
name
change
you
may
have
heard
of
the
long
history
of
homeless,
population,
trespassing,
breaking
and
entering
drug
dealing
abuse.
Just
from
what
I've
seen
over
the
past
several
months
since
taking
over
ownership
and
management,
we've
installed,
24
7
on-site
security
through
conley
security.
We
have
done.
That's
done
a
lot
to
help
us,
but
there
are
limitations
just
due
to
the
nature
of
armed
security
versus
actual
police
presence.
K
K
But,
as
you
may
know,
there
is
a
it's
pretty
exorbitantly
expensive,
judging
from
the
size
of
the
property
which
is
11
acres,
we're
looking
into
more
security
cameras,
the
biggest
thing
that
I'm
we're
facing
is
the
police
response
time
in,
in
that
it's
45
minutes
to
an
hour
to
get
them
out
on
a
on
any
call,
especially
a
like
an
act
of
breaking
and
entering
or
or
a
fight
or
something
that's
actually
dangerous.
Not
just
you
know,
a
homeless
person
in
a
stairwell
we've
also
explored
the
crime-free
multi-housing
program.
A
I
D
Can
I
just
ask
a
question
of
the
multi-family
crime
fee
program
is,
is,
is
very
crucial
to
managers
of
apartments
and
things
like
that,
and
I
think
you
were
going
to
state
something
about
it
and
I
I
would
like
to
I'd
like
to
know
what
it
is.
If
there's
a
problem
with
that,
then
we
need
to
address
that
immediately
because
we've
had
nothing
but
nothing
but
good
feedback
from
the
that
program.
So
I
I
yeah.
K
In,
in
short,
what
I
was
essentially
going
at
is
that
or
where
I
was
going
was
that
that
program
is
great.
I've
been
prior
to
properties
that
are
a
part
of
it
or
are
working
towards
becoming
a
part
of
it.
The
problem
is,
is
as
you've
probably
seen
from
that
property.
It's
enormous
it's
an
enormous
undertaking
with
massive
the
cost
would
be
almost
impossible
without
some
sort
of
assistance,
and
so
I'm
trying
to
see
is
there.
You
know,
grant
programs
are
there.
This
are
there,
you
know.
D
Not
to
interrupt
you,
but
if,
if
that's
the
case,
we've
got
very,
we.
We
have
quite
a
few
of
big
apartment
complexes
that
are
that
are
participate
in
that
program
and
we
don't
offer
them
any
grants.
That's
part
of
the
rent
that
you're
getting
from
from
some
of
those
you
need
to
put
back
into
that
and
make
sure
that
they're
safe
and
that
you're
using
that
type
of
income
in
the
right
in
the
right
way.
L
L
You
know
they
suck
all
the
time
away.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
hearing
both
sides
of
a
situation,
because
that's
important,
that's
the
american
way.
I
want
you
to
let
let
you
know
something
about
me:
I'm
not
defund
the
police
and
I'm
not
back
the
blue
either.
I
believe
in
reimagining
the
police,
because
I
think
it
can
be
better,
and
I
want
you
to
know
about
these
two
guys.
These
are
my
grandsons
and
they're,
not
white.
L
They
are
black
and
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
safe
for
them
to
have
interactions
with
the
police
in
the
future
and
and
for
all
kids,
this
age
that
are
black
and
other
races,
and
so
that's
what
I'm
working
for
and
I'm
just
sorry
that
another
group
makes
it
harder
to
get
that
done
because
of
their
very
to
the
one
side
kind
of
attitude.
So,
but
thank
you
for
your
time.
J
J
I
also
wanted
to
talk
about
the
virtual
option.
We
should
really
be
having
a
virtual
option
for
these
meetings.
It
would
be
a
huge
win
for
accessibility,
which
has
come
out
a
lot
on
the
campaign
trail.
I
think
almost
every
candidate
has
talked
about
accessibility,
but
we
still
do
not
have
that
virtual
option
for
these
meetings.
J
I
know
it's
something
we
didn't
have
before
covet,
but
we
also
didn't
have
a
pandemic
before
then,
and
we
also
didn't
have
eight
star
team
officers
like
lurking
behind
the
chambers
for
it,
so
things
have
changed
and
I
think
we
need
to
respond
and
make
things
more
accessible
rather
than
less.
I
also
going
to
talk
about
the
food
security
task
force.
J
There
was
a
lot
of
good
done
by
that
task
force,
but
it
was
overshadowed
by
the
fact
that
the
city
is
terminating
farm
leases
for
urban
farms
and
they're,
still
citing
community
fridges
and
forcing
them
to
move
or
relocate
or
just
stop
operating
and
also
by
people
leaving
the
task
force
because
of
sexual
misconduct.
That
was
not
taken
seriously
by
the
city
and,
lastly,
I
wanted
to
talk
about
dmpd.
We
still
have
answers
or
any
sort
of
accountability
on
a
lot
of
issues
there
was
shooting.
Last
month
we
still
have
answers
on.
J
We
are
told
the
body
cam
footage
released
as
soon
as
possible.
As
far
as
I
know,
it
still
has
not
been
released.
We
haven't
had
an
update
on
that
the
sexual
harassment
and
assault
allegations
that
came
out,
I
think
in
september,
still
don't
really
have
a
city
response
on
that.
So
don't
have
us
your
response
on
conley
and
winger's
relationship
and
those
emails
going
back
and
forth.
J
We
have
the
conley
side
of
it,
but
it
seems
like
winger
is
just
silent
on
that
and
we
still
have
an
issue
of
when
you're
not
meeting
with
the
public.
I
don't
see
how
the
dmpd
can
improve
and
can
make
strides
for
the
better
if
the
chief
of
police
won't
even
work
with
the
public
and
hasn't
for
over
two
years
now,
and
we
still
have
responses
for
the
protests
and
the
violence
from
officers
at
those
protests
that
we
now
know
resulted
in
more
than
80
wrongful
arrests
through
the
through
the
courts.
J
M
Deborah
deborah
franklin,
1063
40th
street,
I'm
continuing
on
with
the
cyber
crime
that
our
family's
been
experiencing.
Lawyers
say
that
we
need
to
have
positive
proof
that
robert
franklin
is
