We
decreased
that
glass
on
the
northeast
and
west
side,
we've
given
more
ornamental
red
brick
to
the
exterior,
to
give
it
more
of
a
beaverdale
feel
and
I've.
We've
also,
then
increased
the
transparency
with
heightened
windows
and
we've
increased
the
transparency
with
windows
on
the
northeast
corner.
D
I
think,
as
we've
evaluated
this
site
over
a
number
of
years,
beaverdale's
been
on
our
radar
and
this
site
prevents
our
proposes
a
lot
of
obstacles,
it's
.89
acres
and
we're
trying
to
put
a
neighborhood
grocery
store
on
0.9
acres.
If
you
remember
correctly
today,
the
building
sits
almost
in
the
middle
of
the
parking
lot.
We
are
going
to
demo
that
building
and
we're
going
to
put
it
on
the
sidewalk
with
a
patio
and
what
we've
done
after
discussing
it
with
city
staff,
is
bring
additional
focus
to
that
northeast
corner.
D
Although
there
won't
be
an
access
there,
we've
increased
the
transparency
glass.
So
all
pedestrians
can
look
into
the
building
from
that
corner.
We're
going
to
add
an
awning
to
where
it
feels
like.
There
is
an
access
onto
the
sidewalk
and
right
around
the
corner.
There
will
be
our
our
main
entrance
with
a
patio
just
off
of
urbandale
avenue.
D
So
what
we've
done
in
some
after
planning
and
zoning
commission
is.
We
have
decreased
the
spandrel
glass
to
give
it
more
of
a
beaverdale
look:
we've
increased
the
amount
of
red,
brick
and
ornamental
brick
on
the
north
and
east
side
buildings
and
we've
increased
the
transparency
glass
to
give
it
more
of
an
urban
feel
and,
as
you
consider
what
we've
done
in
the
one
issue
that
we
were
unable
to
accomplish.
D
We
do
have
a
competitor
right
down
the
street
and
another
competitor
just
down
the
other
street.
I
think
one
thing
we
would
also
ask
you
to
do.
Is
we've
we've
tried
to
balance
all
of
the
comments
given
to
us
today
from
city
staff
from
neighborhood
businesses,
from
design
elements
to
access
elements
to
operational
elements,
and
we
feel-
and
I
feel
like
city
staff
feels
like
we've
done
a
pretty
good
job
in
taking
all
of
these
obstacles
again
on
a
very
tough
site
and
hit
a
99
home
run.
D
B
B
A
I
mean,
I
think,
in
these
neighborhood
nodes
and
these
commercial
corridors,
the
accessibility,
the
walkability
and
the
design
is
really
important
in,
in
this
particular
case,
we're
talking
about
a
redevelopment
with
a
very
constrained
site,
and
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
it's
important
particularly
going
forward.
I
get
the
exception,
I
get
how
we
got
to
this
point
and
the
work
that
was
done
because
eyes
on
the
street.
A
A
D
C
D
C
E
Thank
you
carl
bill.
There's
no
other
comments.
I
I
want
to
just
get
all
this
so
that
it
gets
encapsulated
in
our
decision
here.
This
has
been
going
on
since
you
first
came
to
the
beaverdale
neighborhood
association
in
june
of
last
year,
we
have
seen
the
excitement
just
completely
explode
in
beaverdale.
E
I
I
can't
go
anywhere
without
somebody
asking
when
is
fairway
going
to
open
in
beaverdale.
I
was
at
church
yesterday
and
I
got
about
half
a
dozen
requests
about
that.
Then
too,
it's
exciting
to
see
the
the
work
that's
gone
in
so
far
to
get
something
in
that
will
be
a
tremendous
magnet
in
the
beaverdale
business
district.
E
As
we've
gone
through
this
process,
we
started
out
with
the
first
city
hurdle
and
that
was
trying
to
put
a
median
cut
on
urbandale
and
traffic
and
transportation
ultimately
said
no
okay,
so
they
rebounded
to
went
to
plan
b
and
came
up
with
an
entrance
coming
off.
41St
place
ran
into
quite
a
few
hurdles.
There
finally
came
back.
We
approved
that
and
moving
forward.
Now
the
the
issue
is
one
door.
E
I
want
to
tell
you
that
they
have
been
fairway.
Probably
the
most
accommodating
vendor
I
have
ever
seen
come
before
my
time
on
the
council.
They
have
been
every
which
way
they
have
bet
with
meetings
with
the
neighbors
with
city
staff.
It's
one
meeting
after
another
to
accommodate
one
more
thing
and
one
more
thing
and
one
more
thing.
The
last
hurdle
here
is
is
a
door
on
beaver.
E
E
On
beaver
same
thing,
I'm
going
to
angle
right
on
over
to
the
door:
I'm
not
going
to
take
extra
steps
to
go
over
there,
that's
human
nature.
Now,
if
I'm
coming
down
urbandale
heading
east,
you
bet
I'm
right
in
the
door
right
there
and
coming
from
west
or
heading
west
on
urbandale
to
take
a
left
there
or
go
straight
and
turn
in
the
door
same
amount
of
steps
so
to
try
and
impose
a
pedestrian
friendly
entrance.
I
think
they've
already
done
that
and
carl
to
your
accolades.
E
They
have
a
bicycle
rack
right
out
in
front
of
the
store
they
have
parking,
they
have
a
drive-through.
This
is
every
bit
of
convenience
that
we
as
a
neighborhood
would
love
to
see,
and
so
I
have
been
in
this
process
for
over
a
year
now
and
I
I'm
respecting
the
wishes
of
all
the
beaverdale
community.
So
I'm
going
to
move
that
we
approve
it's
going
to
be.
3A
approve
the
appeal
by
fairway
stores,
of
having
a
door
on
beaver.
B
B
Thank
you.
Thank

fairway
with
that
we'll
move
on
to
item
3i.
