G
C
I
will
quickly
say
for
the
hearings
this

We
have
four
zoning
items.
Those
are
47
through
50..
We
also
have
a
certificate
of
appropriateness
to
Vacation
hearings,
one
conveyance
hearing
a
concession

Amendment
and
a
lease
purchase
hearing
this
evening.
His
reminder
for
the
zoning
items
only
again
47
to
50..
C
We
will
hear
from
the
parties
in
interest
first
and
then
from
the
general
public.
The
parties
in
interest
are
either
the
applicant
themselves
or
anybody
that
lives
within
250
feet
of
the
property
to
be
rezoned,
to
whom
the
city
has
sent
notices.
After
all,
the
parties
in
interest
have
commented.
We
will
open
up
the
hearing
for
a
public
comment
and
to
Aid
in
recognizing
the
parties
in
interest
who
may
speak.
C
I
will
also
remind
everybody
that
anybody
who
approaches
the
mic
before
it
is
their
time
that
will
be
compared
with
that
list
and,
if
you're
not
on
it,
will
be
considered,
disruptive
and
will
not
be
recognized
for
the
remainder
of
the
meeting
then
will
be
required
to
leave.
So
please
I
ask
everybody
to
wait
until
I
call
in
the
General
Public,
especially
for
those
zoning
items
after
the
parties
in
interest
have
been
called
upon.
C
So,
for
our
first
item
item
47.,
this
is
on
a
request
from
Polk
County
Conservation
Angelo
Connelly
is
the
officer
for
property
located
in
the
vicinity
of
1601
Williams
Street
to
amend,
planned
DSM,
creating
our
tomorrow
plan
to
revise
the
future
land,
use
classification
from
low
density,
residential
to
parks
and
open
space
and
rezone
the
property
from
F
flood
district
and
n,
a
n3a
neighborhood
District
to
a
limited
P1
public,
Civic
and
institutional
District
to
allow
for
the
development
of
trails
and
other
Park
amenities.
It
requires
six
votes
for
approval.
C
A
is
the
first
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
B
is
the
final
consideration.
The
ordinance
above
the
way
was
requested
Again
by
Rich
Leopold
Polk
County
and
requires
six
votes
before
we
start.
I
will
say
that
this
morning
we
had
a
very
extensive
presentation
from
Polk
County
about
their
planning
process
on
this,
and
it
brought
our
Council
up
to
date
and
gave
us
some
very
positive
improvements
that
they
speculate.
Any
rate
first
I'm
going
to
ask
parties
and
interest,
is
the
applicant
here.
J
J
Jake
Barnes
Court
in
Johnston
Iowa,
foreign
Polk,
County
and
Polk
County
Conservation,
and
appreciate
your
consideration
of
this
rezoning
matter.
I
hear
this
morning,
we
speculated
on
a
lot
of
the
changes
that
we're
going
to
make.
We
believe
the
changes
are
going
to
be
very
positive
for
the
community.
C
Okay,
we'll
ask
now:
are
there
any
other
parties
in
interest
who
receive
notice,
it
would
like
to
step
up
and
and
make
comments,
and
so
we
have
one.
How
many
do
we
have
one
two,
three
four:
would
you
guys
line
up
over
here,
so
we
can
kind
of
get
everybody
to
you
know
kind
of
move
through.
That
would
really
be
helpful.
So
thank
you
for.
K
K
You
recognize
that
we
have
beaver
and
we
have
coyotes
and
we
have
Fox
and
we
have
deer
and
we
have
nesting,
Eagles
and
Hawks
that
live
in
in
that
forested
area
and
and
what
is
this
going
to
do
to
them
and
I'm
sure
that
there's
some
endangered
species
that
are
also
living
in
there
in
an
environmental
impact
report
would
show
these
things.
The
the
other
thing
was
that
yesterday,
for
the
first
time,
I
saw
little
sketch
of
what's
being
proposed
and
then
the
and
the
west
side
of
the
property.
K
K
Now
we
haven't
seen
any
of
these
things
and
I
think
as
as
private
citizens
that
are
taxpayers
that
we
should
be
able
to
see
these
things,
and
these
are
issues
that
I
think
are
prudent,
that
we
need
to
have
in
front
of
the
city
council
make
a
decision
before
you.
You
actually
change
the
zoning
on
the
property.
K
If
we
we
don't
pay
attention
to
the
to
the
the
regulations
that
we
all
have
to
live
within
for
our
environment,
then
we
can
end
up
spending
a
lot
of
money
and
then
not
being
able
to
do
it
because
something
doesn't
meet
the
requirements
of
the
EPA
or
the
environment
in
general.
So
I
know
there's
certain
regulations
as
it
affects
the
nesting
Eagles
to
where
you
can't
build
within
I.
Think
it's
200
meters
and
the
water
runoff
is
an
issue
as
it
is
anywhere
in
our
country.
K
Yes,
I
understand
that
if
you
have
a
bicycle
situation,
where
there's
organized
events
for
the
kids
to
to
do
that,
you're
going
to
have
adults
there
and
if
some
somebody
were
to
have
an
accident
or
get
hurt,
there's
going
to
be
somebody
there
to
respond.
But
what
do
we
do
with
the
kids
that
go
over
there
and
play
in
there?
K
They
ride
their
bikes
over
there
and
some
kid
goes
off
the
trail
and
hits
a
tree
or
or
for
some
reason
falls
off
their
bike
and
this
seriously
hurt
how
or
how
do
we
respond
to
that?
How
do
we
respond
with
police
problems,
and
my
house
faces
Copper
Creek
Lake,
the
city
of
Pleasant
Hill
is
very
good
about
patrolling
the
lake,
but
even
even
with
that,
we
still
have
problems
from
time
to
time.
It's
it's
not
what
you'd
expect
and
we
have
a
very
nice
park.
K
That's
right
in
front
of
my
house
that
I
enjoy
and
and
I
I
I'm,
not
saying
that
this
proposed
Park
is
something
that
isn't
good
for
the
for
the
neighborhood
or
the
city.
I'm
just
saying,
please
take
and
do
deal
due.
Diligence
do
the
environmental
impact
reports
and
the
water
studies
before
we
spend
any
money
and
move
any
any
words
forward
with
this.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
everybody
coming
tonight.
L
M
M
There
has
really
been
no
needed
demonstration
for
a
bike
park
other
than
a
statement
from
the
director
of
the
Polk
County
Conservation
Mr
Leopold
this
morning
at
the
city
council's
working
session,
where
he
stated
quote
this
property
is
not
good
for
anything
else.
End
quote:
the
facts.
Are
that
97
of
property
owners
within
250
feet
of
this
subject?
Property?
Don't
want
it
and
have
said
so
in
petitions
and
sending
in
the
consent
cards
in
opposition.
M
The
only
real
desire
that
I've
been
able
to
see
is
from
a
special
interest
group
The,
International
mountain
bike,
Association
and
its
local
affiliate,
who
want
the
facility,
so
they
can
come
and
use
it,
letting
the
Polk
County
taxpayers
cover
the
cost
directly
and
indirectly,
as
a
CPA
I
have
conducted
many
internal
control
and
compliance
projects
and
audits.
My
recent
project
was
auditing.
The
rezoning
application
from
Polk
County
Conservation
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
the
defective
processes
by
which
this
application
is
your
hands
in
your
hands
today
for
a
vote.
M
Where
we
read
quote,
whenever
the
provisions
of
this
zoning
ordinance
allow
the
filing
of
an
application,
that
application
must
be
signed
by
all
title
holders,
end
quote
the
owner.
Affidavit
does
not
have
a
name
inserted
for
the
owner
or
representative
representative
of
the
owner
of
the
subject
property
in
the
space
indicated
it
was
left
blank.
The
signature
on
the
affidavit
is
unreadable
further.
M
The
instructions
on
the
form
require
that
if
the
affidavit
is
signed
by
a
representative
of
the
property
owner,
a
proof
of
authority
document
must
be
attached
to
the
affidavit
to
confirm
that
the
person
signing
has
the
actual
authority
to
sign
it.
No
such
proof
of
authorization
document
was
attached.
M
Next,
the
Des
Moines
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
on
September
15,
approved
the
rezoning
request
in
air
or
and
referred
it
to
the
city
council.
They
relied
on
a
defective
Zoom
meeting
held
by
the
applicant
on
September
6,
in
which
only
seven
percent
or
actually
six
people
attended
out
of
a
possible
71
title
holders.
M
A
neighborhood
public
meeting
is
required
by
the
city
code,
the
Commissioners
accepted
Adam
fendrick's
explanation
as
spokesman
for
Polk
County
Conservation
that
he
had
complied
with
city
code
concerning
neighbor
meeting
requirements.
However,
Mr
fenrick
agreed
under
questioning
by
commissioner
page
to
conduct
a
face-to-face
neighbor
meeting
with
all
Property
Owners
adjoining
the
subject:
property
about
71
title
holders
and
agreed
to
continue
the
rezoning
request
until
the
meeting
was
held,
as
recorded
in
the
minutes
of
that
pnz
meeting.
M
Despite
the
evidence
of
non-compliance
and
the
applicant
agreeing
to
continue
the
request,
one
commissioner
stated
quote:
it's
our
duty
to
pass
this
request.
End
quote,
which
in
itself
I
think
is
a
remarkable
comment.
Indeed,
and
then
the
rezoning
request
was
passed
and
referred
to
the
city
council.
To
date,
the
applicant
has
failed
to
hold
a
public
meeting
with
all
71
title
holders.
M
My
six-page
written
objections
document
that
I
presented
to
the
pnz
Commissioners
at
their
meeting,
which
was
accepted
by
the
chair
of
the
commission
on
the
record,
failed
to
be
recorded
in
the
minutes
of
that
pnz
meeting.
Thus
the
city
council,
you
people
were
not
able
to
see
my
objections.
Therefore,
I
think
the
applicant
has
failed
to
comply
with
city
code
regarding
neighbor
Communications,
about
their
rezoning
request,
due
to
an
incomplete
and
defective
application
and
owner
affidavit
for
rezoning
by
the
applicant
and
an
improper
referral
of
the
request.
M
The
city
council
by
the
pnz
commission
and
lack
of
adherence
to
the
city
code
by
the
applicant
I'm
asking
you
to
deny
the
approval
of
the
rezoning
request
in
its
present
form
and
I've
got
just
a
final
comment.
I
spent
I
have
spent
a
tremendous
amount
of
time
on
the
subject
property
over
22
years
and,
if
I
just
go
on
for
a
moment
and
strongly
disagree
with
the
director
of
the
Polk
County
Conservation,
who
stated
this
morning
quote:
species
are
minimal
on
the
property.
End
quote:
okay,.
M
M
N
My
back
door
is
approximately
30
yards
from
the
boundary
of
this
park.
Our
property
line
is
approximately
10
yards
from
the
boundary
I'm.
Expressing
my
opposition
and
concern
for
such
rezoning.
Polk
County
Conservation
sent
a
letter
dated
August
22nd
2022
and
signed
by
director
Richard
Leopold
to
Residents
within
250
feet
of
the
property
designated
for
the
new
park.
The
letter
stated
that
the
staff
had
presented
the
project
at
local
neighborhood
meetings
providing
residents
the
opportunity
to
offer
public
comment.
These
meetings
were
offered
to
Residents
who
belong
to
associations.
N
Before
initiation
of
public
hearings,
many
unresolved
issues
were
brought
to
the
attention
of
the
park:
planner
Adam,
fendrick
and
community
outreach
coordinator
coordinator,
Jessica
and
I
apologize
Jessica
loan
loan
by
the
residents
resorting
residing
within
250
feet
of
the
proposed
Park.
Some
of
the
issues
raised
were
where's.
The
environmental
study
residents
have
asked
to
see
one
and
have
not
been
given
a
hard
copy.
How
will
the
wildlife
be
affected
by
this
and
are
there
any
endangered
species?
A
planet,
animal
that
live
within
the
woods?
As
Tom
said?
N
Has
there
been
a
hydrology
study
of
the
land?
Does
the
land
comply
with
the
EPA
rules
and
regulations?
How
will
land
use
change
affect
flooding
and
runoff
into
Copper
Creek
Lake
and
Four
Mile
Creek
I
know
that
Four
Mile
Creek
is
on
the
Greenbelt
Waterway
we're
in
the
middle
will.
This
runoff
affect
the
neighboring
homes?
What
about
Resident
privacy?
Why
were
residents
who
were
impacted
by
the
park
notified
and
included
in
discussion
and
planning
of
the
park?
Polk
County
Conservation
bought
this
land
in
December
of
2020.
N
N
Rezoning
this
land
will
not
make
it
any
less
of
a
flood
plain.
The
proposed
parking
lot
and
restroom
building
will
still
be
built
on
a
floodplain
overall.
It
seems
that
this
effort
has
been
extremely
rushed.
Many
interested
parties
in
the
process,
including
property
owners,
were
not
invited
until
very
late
in
the
game,
because
we
had
no
input.
We
wrongly
assumed
that
Polk
County
Conservation
would
conserve
and
preserve
this
parcel
of
land.
We
had
no
idea.
It
was
going
to
be
a
mountain
bike
park.
N
O
I
am
a
former
Team
USA
member
and
a
head
coach
of
girls
wrestling
here
in
Iowa,
telling
you
that,
because
I
helped
get
girls
wrestling
sanctioned
in
the
state
of
Iowa,
so
I
understand
what
it
means
to
be
passionate
about
something,
and
sometimes
you
that
one-sidedly
with
that
said,
I'm
not
here
about
the
animals
I'm
here
about
the
people
East
42nd
Street
is.
This
is
my
first
time
talking
to
the
city
about
East,
42nd
Street,
it's
extremely
busy.
It's
super
fast
and
I.
O
O
So
what
I
would
like
is
I,
guess,
I,
also
being
a
competitive
athlete.
I
know
what
victory
feels
like
and
I
know
what
defeat
feels
like
and
I
know
how
this
looks
and
seems,
and
that
this
is
probably
going
to
get
passed
through.
So
with
that
said,
all
I'm
asking
is
that
it
doesn't
get
passed
through
as
it
stands
right
now.
Please
take
into
consideration
the
people
that
live
there.
Our
our
home,
would
be
directly
across
from
what
would
be
the
main
entrance.
O
What's
all
this
dirt
for
what's
going
on
the
amount
of
dust
that
it
created
back
in
February
and
March
was
like
astronomical,
it
was
insane
so
I'm
asking
you
guys
to
please
consider
the
people
please
consider
revising
this
and
for
all
of
you
out
of
state
folks
who
are
you
know,
avidly
pushing
this
I
welcome
you
to
stay
at
my
home.
Then
it
comes
down
in
my
driveway
for
five
minutes
for
10
minutes,
or
even
anyone
from
the
city
please
just
come
stand
in.
O
My
driveway
right
where
that
is
proposed
is
there's
a
little
bit
of
an
incline
on
42nd.
You
come
around
the
bed
and
it's
a
slight
incline
and
people
sort
of
punch
the
gas
to
try
to
pick
up,
speed
there
and
so
I'm
very
much
concerned
with
the
additional
traffic
and
how
that
might
impact
us
who
live
literally
right
there
across
from
the
entrance.
So
that's
all
I'm
asking
you
is
to
please
consider
please
consider
the
humans.
Please
consider
the
families
who
live
there,
not
the
people
who
are
just
going
to
come
visit.
P
Foreign
Council,
my
name,
is
Nadine
Adele
I
live
at
4315
Shoreline
Drive
in
Pleasant
Hill
and
I've,
been
there
for
over
22
years,
I'm
requesting
city
council
to
deny
the
agenda
item
47,
which
is
to
rezone
the
42
acres
of
land
from
F
and
n3a
to
P1.
Rezoning
is
premature
as
due
diligence
and
full
disclosure
has
not
occurred.
P
134-6.1-6,
a
DOT,

I'm,
sorry,
neighbor,
Communications
I'll,
just
make
a
brief
comment.
As
a
property
owner,
my
husband
and
I
did
receive
one
letter
notice
from
the
applicant
for
a
zoo
meeting
to
be
held
the
day
after
Labor
Day,
which
we
attended
all
right.
We,
we
were
one
of
six
property
owners
who
attended
this
new
meeting
out
of
the
mailing
list
of
71
property
owners
who
were
mailed
to
zoom
meeting
letter
according
to
the
mailing
list.
P
P
Eta
is
not
on
the
mailing
list
that
shiroshi
had
emailed
me.
Nor
on
the
mailing
list
that
the
applicant
emailed
me,
our
ETA
owns
11
acres
of
property
that
runs
along
the
southern
boundary
of
the
East
most
parcel
for
700
feet
and
runs
along
the
Eastern
Shoreline
of
Copper
Creek
Lake.
Thus,
ETA
was
unable,
as
an
association,
any
property
owner
on
the
record
was
unable
to
attend
Zoom
meeting
and
express
concerns
about
resounding
at
the
zoo
meeting.
P
The
second
violation
is
that
the
PC
conservation
applicant,
represented
Adam
fendrick,
has
been
deficient
in
abiding
by
city
code,
134-1,
I'm,
sorry,
134-6.1.6,
paragraph
C,
neighbor
meeting
summary,
as
defined
below
I
gave
you
a
handout
there.
I
won't
read
it.
My
husband
and
I
had
provided
to
Adam
on
September
5th
before
the
zoo
meeting
a
six
page
of
page
objections
document,
including
three
flooding
exhibits
that
was
not
submitted
that
was
submitted
to
Adam
the
day
before
and
that
particular
document
has
never
been
included
on
the
record.
P
He
did
not
even
include
on
the
record
a
neighbor,
meaning
summary.
There
was
nothing
on
the
record
at
all
no
document
saying
where
the
meetings
were
held,
who
who
was
attending
what
was
discussed?
What
were
the
concerns?
What
was
resolved
and
what
was
unresolved
and
as
a
result
of
this
lack
of
good
faith,
neighbor
communication
efforts
ourselves
and
many
Property
Owners
adjacent
to
the
subject-
property
remained
skeptical
about
this
whole
plan.
P
Finally,
I
we
attended
the
work
session
meeting
this
morning
and
the
applicant
represented
by
Mr
Leopold.
He
stated
that
he
intended
to
make
future
assessments
of
the
property
regarding
federal
and
state
requirements,
including
an
EPA
study
that
included
endangered
species
and
working
specifically
with
the
city
and
the
DNR.
In
this
regard,
he
needed
to
work
with
an
engineering
firm
regarding
storm
water
management.
He
referenced
The
Watershed
Department
regarding
water
quality,
but
wasn't
too
clear
about
the
details
of
his
intended
involvement.
P
Since
Mr
Leopold
clearly
stated
that
this
morning
that
PC
conservation
acquired
this
property
because
nobody
else
wanted
it
and
it
was
targeted
because
the
property
was
not
good
for
anything
else.
There
would
be
no
harm
for
the
conservation
applicant
to
conduct
these
assessments
and
studies
before
the
council
approves
the
rezoning.
The
findings
and
conclusions
from
these
assessments
and
studies
may
show
that
this
property
is
not
suitable
for
P1
zoning.
The
conservation
applicant
May
then
be
entitled
or
be
able
to
sell
the
property.
Thus,
rezoning
is
really
premature.
P
Finally,
in
closing
flooding
impact
on
neighboring
properties
may
be
determined
by
the
Iowa
flood
Center
in
Iowa
City,
which
is
linked
with
the
University
of
Iowa
and
funded
by
the
DNR
on
Friday
September,
2nd
I
received
an
email
response
from
the
Iowa
flood
Center.
To
my
question
about
projected
flooding
impact,
the
Iowa
flood,
Center,
wrote
quote
projected
or
forecasted
information
is
a
little
more
difficult
because
it
depends
on
climate,
Trends
and
land
use
changes.
This
is
a
land
use
change
the
following
week.

Thank
you,
councilman
Voss,
for
coming
last
night,
standing
in
the
rain
with
us
to
see
it
and
listen
to
us,
we'll
keep
it
simple.
Both
sides
are
here:
we've
talked
about
animals,
we've
talked
about
people,
we've
talked
about
the
impact
of
the
environment.
R
What
I
see
from
a
management
perspective
is
we
don't
have
a
course.
We've
got
the
cart
in
front
of
the
horse
right
now.
What
is
the
purpose?
How
are
we
going
to
do
this?
What's
the
environmental
impact?
How
will
it
affect
us
second

as

We
were
given

No

knocked
on

joke
we're

No

has
talked

R
S
Hi
Vicky
door,
1970
Northeast,
45th,
Court
I'm,
opposing
this,
because
I
am
an
accountant
and
I
know
how
to
manage
money
and
I,
don't
feel
as
a
taxpayer
passing.
This
is
doing
due
diligence
with
it
being
in
a
flood
zone.
If
you
I
think
the
estimated
amount
was
like
300
000
to
get
it
up
and
going
first
blood
comes
we're
going
to
be
respending
that
that's
not
how
I
want
to
spend
my
taxpayer
dollars.
S
I
carry
a
knife
when
I
walk
on
the
trails,
I'm
an
avid
biker
and
Walker
after
the
Molly
tisbet
thing:
I,
don't
walk
by
myself
on
the
trails
in
Des
Moines.
Unless
I
have
a
knife
on
me,
because
I'm
going
to
put
up
a
fight,
if
somebody
comes
after
me,
Parks
bring
great
people,
they
also
bring
Shady
people.
S
We
used
to
live
over
by
Grandview
college
and
the
cops
praised
us
for
walking
our
Rottweilers
at
the
park
to
deter
drug
dealers
keep
coming
every
day.
That's
my
concern.
How
am
I
going
to
feel
safe,
doing
yard
work
in
my
own
yard
if
this
is
passed
because
they
bring
good
and
they
bring
evil
it's
a
world.
We
live
in
of
them
from
a
financial
standpoint.
This
is
not
a
good
deal.
S
C
T
Hello,
I'm,
Sally,
Woodard
I,
live
at
4405
Northeast
19th
Avenue
I
have
405
feet
that
attaches
to
this
property.
We've
seen
homeless.
People
we've
seen
people
just
going
through
there.
We've
had
to
stop
people
from
going
through
there
as
it
is
I,
couldn't
imagine
what
it
would
be
like
if
this
park
was
to
go
in
there.
My
family
has
owned
the
property
since
1965-66.
The
winner
of
the
night,
was
a
real
little
on
Bruce
raised
there,
but
we've
seen
so
much
happen.
It
used
to
be
surrounded
by
cornfields.
T
Now
then
they
put
the
same
plan
in
and
then
the
houses
and
everybody
that
spot
houses
down
there.
They
bought
it
because
it
was
Serene
and
we
had
no
problems,
but
the
more
and
more
we
get
at
it.
We
have
problems,
I
mean
I.
Had
some
people
walk
right
up
next
to
my
house
on
the
opposite
side
because
they
got
lost
in
those
woods
and
it
scared
me
I
thought
it
was
a
deer
and
it
was
a
person
so
yeah,
it's
we
don't
want
it.
T
We
don't
need
it
there's
so
many
bike
trails
and
bike
parks.
Now
in
the
city
of
Des
Moines,
why
do
we
need
it
now?
You
know
when
you
go
by
him,
you
don't
see
him
and
I'm
getting
up
in
age.
I
used
to
work
for
the
city
of
Des,
Moines,
I'm
retired,
from
there
and
so
I
kind
of
know
how
some
of
the
park
some
sewer
systems
work
and
just
like
I,
say
they're
going
to
do
paragraphs.
T
We
had
a
fire
down
there
after
they
stopped
farming
it
and
we
almost
lost
our
garages.
Now
we've
mow
a
boat
mower
bumper,
so
in
case
it
catches
on
fire.
Again
we
don't
get
burned
out
because
it
was
that
close.
It
was
really
scary,
so
I
I.
Please
hope
that
you
wouldn't
pass
this
and
change
it
over
to
park
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
parks
and
you
don't
see
a
lot
of
people
in
them
anymore
and
you
know
I
know
it's
for
public,
but
I.
T
Just
I
can't
see
it
and
I'd
like
to
have
our
safety
and
our
quietness.
That's
why
we
all
move
there.
I
I
was
living
on
Lake
Ponderosa
and
when
my
parents,
both
passed
away,
I
bought
their
house
because
I
thought
it
was
the
best
place
to
live
so
I,
don't
know
what,
how
are
you
gonna,
stop
it
or
if
we're
gonna,
stop
I'm
confused
right
this.
Second,
if
we're
gonna,
stop
it
or
are
you
guys
gonna
help
us
stop
it
or
are
you
gonna
or
should
we
just
be
talking
to
the
wall?
I
don't
know.
U
C
C
J
J
Part
of
this
is
where
we're
at
in
the
process
we're
at
the
very
beginning,
stages
the
pre-designed
stages
and
looking
at
this
thing.
So
when
we
talk
about
neighborhood
impacts,
when
we
talk
about
water,
quality,
engineering
studies,
endangered
species
studies
and
all
of
that
absolutely
we
are
required
by
law
and
in
fact
that's
what
we
do.
C
J
And
certainly-
and
you
had
a
number
of
the
the
people
that
had
said
that
there
have
been
problems
back
there
with
vandalism,
illegal
dumping,
drug
deals
all
that
kind
of
thing,
so
there
is
that
type
of
activity
that
happens
back
there
right
now.
We
know
how
to
manage
those
challenges.
We've
done
it
many
times
with
Partners
different
cities
and
just
ourselves
within
all
of
our
Parks.
So
we
believe
that
after
we
get
to
where
we're
going,
there's
going
to
be
much
less
of
that
type
of
activity
in
that
area.
V
C
V
My
name
is
Richard
Woodard
I
live
at
4405,
Northeast,
19th,
Avenue
and
I
oppose
it.
I
have
a
problem
with
all
the
extra
people.
That's
going
to
be
traveling
through
the
area,
the
traffic
over
on
Easton
and
42nd.
If
you
haven't
ever
been
over
there,
it
is
terrible
at
the
stop
sign
on
42nd
East,
and
all
it's
going
to
do
is
cause
this
problem
to
grow
the
housing
developments
that
are
growing
out.
There
now
contributes
to
almost
all
of
the
traffic.
V
V
I
heard
this
through
other
people,
so
I
mean
I,
don't
know
what
to
do
about
it,
but
I.
Just
you
know
my
safety,
my
quietness,
and
how
would
you
guys
like
for
somebody
to
come
into
your
property
right
next
door
within
10
feet
and
put
something
like
this?
All
these
extra
people
that's
coming
from
all
over
the
place-
they're
not
just
going
to
come
from
around
the
area,
they're
going
to
be
people
that
nobody
has
any
association
with
about
all
I
got
to
say.
C
W
Okay
quickly,
thank
you,
Mr
mayor
council.
Thank
you
for
tonight.
My
name
is
Greg.
Lewis
I
live
at
1816,
East
22nd,

Des,

proud,
East,

alumni
fourth
generation,
so
I
want
to
just
and
I'm.
Also
briefly
I'm
the
vice
chair
of
the
Polk
County
Conservation
board.
I've
just
made
a
few
notes:
I'm
going
to
go
through
real
quick.
We
talk
about
Good
and
Evil
coming
yeah,
that's
true,
but
you're
going
to
see
more
good.
Why?
W
Because
you're
going
to
have
Polk
County
Conservation
officers
patrolling
that
area,
we
got
I've
got
a
meeting
Wednesday
afternoon
with
councilman
westergard
to
look
at
some
illegal
dumping
in
that
area.
This
is
going
to
go
away.
We
know
how
to
manage
that
homeless.
People
and
the
drugs
I've
walked
that
area.
The
meth
labs
are
going
away
when
they
see
officers
and
they
see
good
people.
Okay,
well,
I!
Guess!
That's
quick,
but
I'd
like
to
say
that
the
car
of
the
cards
only
15
percent.
U
Thank
you
again:
I
am
Dave
Milburn
I
live
in
Johnston
Iowa
I
write,
Copper
Creek
about
twice
a
month.
I
would
like
the
folks
opposed
and
in
favor
to
know
that
I
would
be
happy
to
meet
with
them
and
either
Sycamore
or
sergeant
Park
in
Des
Moines,
as
an
example
of
what
you
can
expect
from
this
project.
From
what
I've
seen
in
the
Des
Moines
Register
and
from
Polk
County
Conservation.
U
Just
like
a
couple
of
comments
about
Sycamore,
Trail
and
Johnson
is
similar
cyclists.
Hikers
it's
been
helping
protect
the
woods.
It's
improved,
the
wildlife
habitat,
it's
improved,
the
wild,
the
water
quality,
we've
seen
a
lot
more
deer
and
Eagle
than
ever
before,
and
now
some
otters.
So
the
development
at
sergeant
Park
is
another
example.
It's
free
for
neighbors
and
visitors.
It's
widely
asked
recognized
as
an
asset
to
the
community
and
again,
if
anyone
would
have
concerns
I'd
be
glad
to
meet
with
them.
Thank
you.
C
C
You
know
how
many
are
kind
of
in
favor
of
this
or
that
or
whatever,
so
that
we
can
kind
of
keep
this
thing
moving
we
by
code
to
have
what
seven
minutes
or
something
like
that,
but
we're
gonna
try
to
push
it
as
long
as
we
can,
but
we
don't
want
to
have
repetitive
repetitious
comment
here.
So
I
would
appreciate
it.
Everybody
listen
up
and
let's
have
our
next
speaker.
X
All
right,
thank
you.

So
we
have
experience
building
to
maintaining
mountain
bike
trails
in
the
Des
Moines
area.
So
the
current
trails
that
we
have
is
Center
Trails,
that's
Greenwood
and
Ashworth
Park
Ewing
Park.
On
the
Southeast
side,
Grandview
Park.
We
have
a
small
Trail
section
there.
It's
just
under
a
mile,
then
also
with
Polk
County
Conservation.
Y
Good
evening
my
name
is
Dr
Jared
Cruz
I
live
at
611,
Polk
Boulevard
in
Des,
Moines
I'm,
a
former
middle
school
science
teacher
and
currently
a
professor
of
Science
Education
at
Drake
University
I'm,
the
treasurer
for
the
central
Iowa
Trails
Association,
the
president
of
the
Iowa
Scholastic
mountain
bike
league
and
a
coach
for
the
Des
Moines
Classic
mountain
bike,
club
I
live
in
Des
Moines.
My
three
children
attend
Des,
Moines,
Public
Schools
and
my
entire
family
loves
hiking
and
biking
the
dirt
trails
we
have
within
one
block
of
our
house
living
near
dirt.
Y
Trails
I
can
attest
that
trail
users
enhance,
rather
than
detract
from
our
neighborhood
yeah
Beyond,
any
single
neighborhood.
It
is
important
to
note
that
youth
mountain
biking
is
on
the
rise
in
Iowa
and
in
Des.
Moines
last
year
was
the
first
year
of
the
Des
Moines
youth
mountain
bike
club.
We
have
had
more
than
50
kids
join
us
for
practices
and
rides.
Y
These
kids
supported
each
other
cheered
each
other
on
picked
each
other
up
and
showed
me
that
the
future
is
in
good
hands
rezoning
this
land
so
that
more
dirt
trails
can
be
created,
prioritizes
the
children
of
Des
Moines
and
the
future
of
the
of
Des
Moines
they
represent.
I
urge
you
each
to
vote
to
resume.
I
Council
I'm
Aaron,
Vance
I
live
at
4711
Kingman
Boulevard
in
Des,
Moines
I
am
in
support
of
this
rezoning.
I
have
kids
and
we
mountain
bike
in
the
neighborhood
and
I
want
to
build
a
Des
Moines
that
they
feel
happy
to
come
back
to
after
they
go
off
to
college
and
do
their
stuff
I
want
them
to
come
back
and
be
active
here
instead
of
Colorado
California.
Wherever
else.
Thank
you.
Z
Just
for
the
residents
of
Des
Moines
I
mean
I've,
probably
ridden
through
denman's
Woods,
which
is
part
of
Waterworks
Park
Greenwood
Park,
which
has
Center
trails
and
Ashworth
Park,
I've,
probably
ridden
through
there
in
the
last
few
years,
maybe
five
six
years,
I've
ridden
through
their
400
times.
Something
like
that.
It's
just
once
it's
there.
People
start
to
use
it,
and
so
there
may
not
be
something
in
that's
an
equivalent
kind
of
mountain
bike,
dirt
Trail
area
in
this
part
of
Des
Moines,
and
so
it's
I
think
it's
imperative
that
the
zoning
gets
changed.
Z
Q
Q
What
I'd
like
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
quickly
about
is
that
before
the
conservation
board
and
Ceda
worked
on
that
area,
it
was
a
place
where
I
used
to
use
it
a
lot.
We
considered
a
place
a
been
abandoned.
You
could
find
everything
discarded
by
man
on
this
basis
planted
discarded
there
and
left
there
and
dumped
there
for
good
nowadays
fast
forward.
You
find
this
group
of
people
who
care
so
deeply
about
it.
They
mow
it,
keep
it
maintained
and
have
made
it
a
safe
place.
Q
AA
Thank
you,
mayor
and
city
council.
My
name
is
Danny
kruzik
I'm
at
1480,
Springs
Drive
in
Pleasant,
Hill
I
live
right
on
Copper
Creek
I
can
literally
jump
off
of
my
deck
and
land
in
the
lake
on
a
good
day.
I
am
100
in
favor
of
this
I
want
you
to
know
that
several
residents
are
in
favor
of
this
not
only
am
I
an
avid
cyclist
but
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
the
Capital
Improvements
in
the
area.
The
parking
lot's
been
talked
about
boy.
We
sure
need
some
improvements
there.
AA
It's
a
dumping,
Zone
I
ride
my
bike
through
there
a
lot
and
you
get
a
little
bit
nervous,
even
riding
through
that
parking
lot.
Also
I
have
walked
through
those
woods
several
times
it's
been
used
in
many
many
years
past
by
motorcyclists.
There
are
Trails
there
already
I'm
surprised.
The
residents
haven't
mentioned.
All
the
noise
in
the
motorcyclists.
I
also
have
seen
homeless
people
back
in
there.
There's
none
there
this
year
that
I've
seen
But
I
there
I
can
take
you
and
show
you
a
couple
of
deer
stands
also
back
in
there.
AB
All
right
mayor,
thank
you,
everyone,
my
name
is
Jeremy
Wofford.
You
would
not
guess
it.
This
guy's
feeling
a
little
shy
now,
but
this
is
Gus
Wofford
seven,
my
wife
Renee
and
my
other
son
Noah
I
pretty
much
run
a
business
based
on
the
power
bicycles,
so
I'm
a
trainer,
nutritionist,
Michael
bike,
fitter,
Ranch
mechanic,
all
that
good
stuff.
But
we've
been
doing
the
youth
group
for
a
while
here
and
I
could
say
it
is
growing.
It
is
the
future
that's
been
touched
on.
AB
You
can't
speak
to
all
characters
of
people,
but
generally
our
cycling
community
and
a
lot
of
the
people
who
use
the
trails
are
as
overwhelmingly
positive
group
of
people.
So
it
is
only
going
to
bring
more
people,
yes,
but
most
likely
people
who
want
to
support
that
space.
So
they
we
don't
ride
on
our
Trails
when
it's
remotely
wet
like
we
take
pretty
good
care
of
our
trails
to
try
to
actually
use
them
for
ways
in
the
future
to
come.

C
AC
AD
Hello,
my
name
is
Robert
Kennedy
I'm,
the
current
operations
manager
for
the
Des
Moines
Street
Collective
I,
see
several
of
my
predecessors.
Here
we
are
an
organization
that
is
focused
on
cycling
and
transportation,
equity
and
I
actually
want
to
talk
about
something
that
hasn't
been
addressed
here.
A
whole
lot,
which
is
the
skills
Park.
It's
not
the
most
glamorous
part
of
the
whole
project,
but
I
think
it's
actually
the
most
necessary
from
an
equity
standpoint,
skills
Parks
hook
into
the
skate
park,
infrastructure
that
we
already
have
in
the
city.
AD
They
provide
a
super
duper
low-cost
form
of
outdoor
recreation
for
kids.
They
teach
Independence,
they're
great
babysitters,
because
they're
a
loop
and
you
can
stand
in
the
middle
and
watch
your
kid
go
round
and
round.
They
are
a
fantastic
way
to
actually
get
kids
outside
without
having
to
you
know
without
having
to
you
know,
follow
them
on
a
bike
or
anything
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
rezone
this
to
permit
the
project
forward
and
yeah.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AE
Good
evening
Jeff
anchor
Polk
City
Iowa
621
Adams
I
wanted
to
expand
upon
some
of
the
things
that
Ceta
the
central
Iowa
Trail
Association.
Does
we
one
of
the
things
we
do?
Is
we
have
a
a
great
track
record
with
property
owners,
the
county,
the
city
and
the
state
with
working
with
them
to
keep
the
trails,
build
them
and
maintain
them
in
a
responsible
manner?
AE
AF
Hello
Council,
my
name
is
Alex
Sterling
I
live
at
2402,
Glenwood
Drive
and
as
a
taxpayer
in
Des.
Moines
I
support
this
project
because
to
me
this
is
land,
that's
underutilized!
It's
a
flood
plain
that
zoned
residential.
So
to
me
it
makes
very
little
sense
to
build
any
Residential
Properties
in
this
area.
So
this
is
a
project
that
we
can
Implement
to
take
use
of
our
resources
as
a
city
as
a
whole
and
allow
a
greater
segment
of
our
population
to
use
land.
That's
underutilized
now,
I
think
that's
a
great
idea.
Thank
you.
AG
Hello,
councilman
Kyle,
lansberger,
249,
East,
Jackson,
Avenue
and
as
a
local
resident
and
taxpayer
I
also
am
in
favor
of
this
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
thing
for
the
environment,
for
the
local
area
and
personally
I
go
spend
thousands
of
dollars
just
to
go
out
of
town
to
go
to
Parks
like
this,
so
it'd
be
pretty
amazing
to
put
that
money
back
into
our
own
State
and
stay
here
locally
and
enjoy
it
here.
Thank
you
very
much.
AH
Some
errands
and
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
Dave
vodder
I'm
from
Johnston
Iowa
I'm,
a
member,
a
commit
member
of
the
trails
and
Greenway
committee
for
Polk
County
and
the
city
of
the
metropolitan
area.
I
came
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
rezoning.
As
so
many
people
have
said.
The
positive
people
that
are
involved
with
cycling
and
the
stewardship
of
Ceta
and
the
Polk
County
Conservation
board
are
only
going
to
bring
positive
things
to
this
area
and
I
hope
that
people
that
live
nearby
will
understand.
AH
It
you're
afraid
of
what
you
don't
know
and
what
they
don't
know
is.
They
haven't
seen
the
positive
impacts
at
like
Sycamore,
where
these
undesirable
undesirable
elements
are
basically
pushed
out
by
positive
people.
These
citizens,
families,
young
people,
bird
watchers,
cyclists,
outdoor
enthusiasts
of
all
types,
so
I
encourage
you
guys
to
support
this
project
and
their
zoning.
Thank
you.
AI
Hello,
thank
you
for
the
time
and
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Lisa
vetterline.
This
is
my
son.
Lyle
we
live
at
1082.
36Th
Street
is
basically
in
between
all
of
the
mountain
bike
trails
in
town.
We
have
equal
access
to
all
of
them.
I
have
two
kids
who
I
have
brought
up,
basically
utilizing
all
of
the
trails,
and
it's
super
important
to
us
and
we're
huge
supporters
and
support
this
new
trail
system.
One
thing
I
also
want
to
say
that
I,
don't
think
anybody's
really
mentioned.
AI
Is
some
people
had
mentioned
they're
concerned
about
the
crime
rates
going
up
in
the
park,
although
there
seems
to
be
already
some
issues
and
as
a
community
mountain
bikers,
hikers
know
that
we
can
call
Ceta,
we
can
Call
Polk
County
Conservation
Des
Moines
City.
When
we
see
anything
and
stuff
gets
reported
all
the
time.
We
are
reporting
on
people
who
are
utilizing
the
trails
improperly
like
if
they
have
motorized
vehicles
or
if
we
see
homeless
camps.
So
really
we
are
assisting
in
policing
the
area
and
I.
Think
that's
a
really
valid
point.
Thank
you.
AJ
AK
Hi,
my
name
is
Zach
Forbes
I
live
at
4230,
Wilson
Avenue,
so
we
live
at
the
same
address
and
we
just
moved
to
this
location
for
this
project.
Basically,
so
I
saw
this
really
cool
thing
in
the
paper.
People
were
excited
about
it
and
I
said
oh
well,
we
are
already
thinking
about
getting
a
house
and
we
just
lucked
out
that
this
property
was
close
to
the
park
and
we
wanted
to
live
by
something
like
this,
and
this
is
a
very
cool
project
that
Des
Moines
is
doing
so.
AK
I
lived
in
Colorado
for
about
10
years
and
I
moved
back
and
stuff
like
this
actually
makes
me
want
to
keep
on
being
an
Iowa
resident
and
living
in
Des,
Moines
and
being
supportive
of
projects
like
this.
It's
just
great,
so
I
am
a
Ceda,
Trail
user
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
they
do
such
a
great
job
of
maintaining
the
trails.
It's
fantastic.
It
actually
makes
me
feel
guilty
that
I,
don't
donate
and
I
I
don't
volunteer
my
time,
which
I
hope
to
do
so.
Thanks
for
your
time,.

Hi
I'm
Matt,
Keller
I,

up
on
the
east

I
really
like
the
east
side.
B-Side
needs
a
bike
trail
off-road
by
Trail.
It's
environmentally
clean
people
can
ride
from
their
neighborhood
over
to
the
bike
trail
instead
of
getting
in
their
car
and
driving
across
town.
It's
a
silent
activity
compared
to
the
RVs
that
used
to
drive
those
trails
in
that
same
park.
AL

We
have
stick

you

what

with

ground
and
we're
happy
to
use
it
we're
happy
to
use
it
in
a
way
that
that
can
be
productive
for
the
community.
Bring
people
in
White,
Rock
Conservancy,
for
instance,
brings
people
in
from
Des
Moines
every
weekend
constantly,
and
that's
really
what
keeps
us
going.

like
this
are
different.

My

I
just
want
to
really
quickly
address
the
comments
that
were
kind
of
made
to
stoke
some
fear
about
who's,
going
to
suddenly
be
showing
up
in
these
neighborhoods
and
I.
Want
you
to
just
kind
of
roll
back
through
your
head.
The
group
of
people
that
you
just
saw
the
like,
40
to
55
year
olds,
who
just
really
want
to
do
this
sport
that
they
can
still
do
in
their
older
years.
Sorry
guys-
and
so
it
really
is.
AO

I
also
run
a

looking
for

can
do
in
the
spirit
of
keep
them
busy

keep
them
out

we
are
really
excited
about
the

the
wolf
pack,
that
they
are
getting
started
and
getting
going
and
a
ton
of

live

we're

going

get
to
utilize

as
well.

We

We
were
closely
with

AR
Grant

moved
to

so
the
part

the
reason
was
to
be
close
to
the

within
biking
distance.
So
if
something
happened
in

I
could
just
pop
over
also,
you
know
just
the
community
that
Ceta
is
formed

is
incredible.
There
was

up
at
Sycamore
that
was
like
spray
painting
rocks
and
we,
you
know
all
got
around
and
tried
to
find
out.
It
was
a
spray
paint,
Bandit
and
stuff,
and
it's
just.
AS
Council,
my
name
is
Jen
vast
I
live
at
2707,
Southeast,
18th,
Street
I'm,
the
head
bike,
mechanic
at
Scheels
and
I.
Think
the
one
thing
that
we're
missing
yet
is
the.
What
could
happen
is
especially
all
the
locals
versus
the
what
will
happen,
and
so,
if
you
actually
take
a
look
at
what
will
happen,
look
at
cayenne
and
look
at
button.
Look
at
all
those
systems
that
have
just
exploded,
we're
the
first
ones
to
actually
take
action.
When
we
see
something
that
shouldn't
be
there.
AS
They
talked
about
traffic
that
the
local
neighbors
were
worried
about
traffic,
we'll
look
at
cuyuna,
they
said
the
same
thing
and
we
were
the
first
ones
to
say:
hey,
let's
slow
down
traffic,
let's
get
it
out
of
the
neighborhoods.
Let's
put
a
different
area
again
we're
going
to
be
the
first
ones
to
actually
see
a
problem
and
actually
fix
it
before
the
returns
get
mad.
AT
Good
evening
my
name
is
John.
Bradley
I
live
at
3430,
Southwest
43rd
Street
in
Des
Moines.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening.
One
point
that
I
haven't
heard
I
would
kind
of
compare
this
to
the
skate
park.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
thought
look
at
all
the
Riff
Raff
this
is
gonna
or
the
skate
park
is
gonna,
bring
to
downtown
Des
Moines.
It
never
came.
You
know
they're
good
people
that
are
down
there
at
the
skate
park.
AT
C
E
I
I'd
be
happy
to
make
a
comment
being
the
war
councilman
where
Easter
lake
is
in
Ewing
Park,
where
we
have
a
mountain
bike.
Mountain
bike
trail
that
I've
been
asked
multiple
times
to
try
to
expand,
and
we
haven't
had
any
Revenue
in
the
city
of
Des
Moines.
To
do
that
so
I
welcome
and
the
neighbors
should
welcome
Polk
County
Conservation,
look
all
around
Polk
County
and
see
the
things
that
they've
done,
and
they
they
do
it
in
a
way
that
we're
all
proud
of
and
Rich
you've
got
a
great
board.
E
The
the
Board
of
Supervisors
also
are
are
part
of
giving
you
you
know,
Revenue,
they
you're
not
going
to
put
something
in
there
that
you're
not
going
to
be
proud
of,
and
the
residents
aren't
going
to
be
proud
of
and
and
and
I
appreciate.
It
appreciate
that
you
know
we.
We
had
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
trail
that
you
put
in
around
Easter
Lake
and
the
neighbors.
All
of
the
same
issues
came
up
at
Easter
Lake
and
all
of
those
same
neighbors
that
I
represent
will
tell
you
the
same
thing.
E
We
haven't
had
the
problems
that
they
thought
the
parking
problems,
the
the
the
riffraff-
it
actually
cleaned
it
up
and
it
and
it
will
I've
been
down
there.
We
toured
the
Four
Mile
area
and,
and
we
went
to
that
parking
lot
and
there's
needles,
there's
garbage
that
will
be
gone.
I'm
very
confident
of
that,
and
you
know
somebody
one
of
the
speakers
said
you
know.
How
would
you
feel
if,
if
you
know
somebody
bought
something
next
to
you?
E
Well,
I'd
be
proud
to
have
Polk
County
buy
something
because
I
know
I
know
that
their
pockets
are
deep
and
they're
going
to
do.
Do
it
the
right
way,
and
so
I'm
I'm
happy
to
support
this
I.
Think
it's
a
great
project,
I
think
it's
an
amenity
that
that
our
city
needs,
and
you
know
what
thank
you
for
for
bringing
this
and
I
know
you're
going
to
do
your
due
diligence
with
all
the
other
questions.
E
This
is
just
the
first
step
and
you
want
to
make
sure
that
this
step
goes
through
before
you
do
all
the
due
diligence
of
all
the
questions
that
were
asked
beforehand.
Those
are
all
going
to
be
done.
I'm
and
I.
Look
at
I
look
at
Rich
and
he
had
already
said.
Yes
we're
going
to
do
all
of
those
things
so
I'm
happy
to
support
it.
I'll,
let
I
know
Linda's
the
ward
council
person
so.
AU
Go
ahead,
okay,
being
a
newsletter
too
I
think
it'll
be
a
great
meeting.
I,
really
think
that
we
have
to
remember
this
first
step
is
just
to
get
it
to
the
Parkland,
so
they
can
do
all
the
studies
and
and
get
more
input
on.
What's
going
to
happen,
so
I
think
the
first
step
is
to
make
it
a
Parkland
because
it
has
not
been
developed.
I
would
rather
have
a
park
I.
AU
Think
next
to
me,
when
you
talk
about
noise
and
confusion
than
if
you
would
build
a
Housing
Development
so
but
I
think
it's
a
great
amenity
along
with
that
whole
Four,
Mile
Stretch,
when
you
go
all
the
way
down
from
Hubble
and
the
park
atmosphere,
that's
going
to
be
created,
I
think
that
again
we're
here
to
say:
we
think
it
should
be
a
park
and
then
they
can
do
the
work.
Polk
County
will
do
the
work
and
it's
as
Joe
has
brought
up.
AU
They
take
a
lot
of
put
a
lot
of
time
and
effort,
and
they
don't
do
it
halfway
and
I
think
that
this
is
amenity.
That
I
think
is
great
for
the
young
people
and
would
be
something
that
would
be
ongoing
to
help
many
of
the
young
people
get
involved
in
again
positive
things
and
build
build
it
up
into
something
even
bigger.
Throughout
that
whole
stretch.
AV
Oh
I
I
mean
I
just
wanted
to
Echo
what
what
the
others
have
said.
You
know:
I
I
am
fortunate
enough
to
have
some
mountain
bike
trails
in
my
ward
as
well
in
in
Greenwood,
Park
and
I'll.
Note,
it's
not
just
mountain
bikers
who
use
it
right.
It's
one
of
those
things.
My
family
is
not
a
family
of
mountain
bikers,
but
we'll
walk
those
paths
and
it
is
a
great
amenity.
We
know
people
who
live
by
that.
AV
AV
This
is
I,
think
the
type
of
amenity
that
will
be
a
great
addition
to
the
east
side
and
I
also
wanted
to
take
one
second
and
address
any
I
mean
I
agree
with
everything.
That's
been
said
about
Polk
County,
Conservation
being
a
partner,
but
I
also
wanted
to
address
some
of
the
environmental
and
floodplain
pieces
that
go
along
with
that
and
Polk
County
Conservation
is
a
partner
on
water
quality,
a
partner
on
habitat
protection.
AV
AV
I
think
this
is
the
beginning
of
a
process
and
I'd
encourage
the
neighbors
to
stay
involved
and
be
a
part
of
the
process
going
forward,
because
I
think
that's
the
best
way
to
get
the
full
benefit
of
this
for
the
neighborhood
as
well,
because
I
think
it
will
enhance
the
neighborhood
and
if
we
have
an
opportunity
to
come
back
and
have
a
conversation
about
this
in
a
few
years.
This
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
I
think
the
the
neighbors
who
are
here
tonight,
I
hope.
AW
H
AW
And
they
always
do
quality
work.
They
are
open
to
visiting
with
the
residents.
I
know,
I've
asked
Rich
to
talk
to
people.
He
has
done
that.
So,
when
I
and
and
I'm
listening
to
to
the
to
the
neighbors
in
the
Edgewater.
Believe
me,
we
have
heard
you
we
have
listened,
but
please
our
experience
with
Polk
County
you,
you
will
come
away
with
a
completely
different
feeling.
AW
Once
this
park
is
complete
and
as
the
as
the
council
person
I've
taken
calls
from
residents
saying
the
four-wheelers
have
been
down
here:
they've
torn
up
the
land,
we've
got
dumping,
we've
got
homeless
camps
in
there.
We
don't
want
that
activity
on
the
east
side
and
we
welcome
to
have
a
park
that
will
bring
in
people
it
will
bring
activity.
We
can
go
there
and
walk
and
and
feel
completely
safe.
We
have
Rangers
that
will
be
patrolling
the
area.
AW
Please
just
give
us
a
chance
to
get
this
park
built
and
and
I
think
you
will
be
very
pleasantly
surprised
with
that.
I
would
move
item
47
and
47a
I'm
not
going
to
to
do
B
I'm
going
to
wait
and
see
how
the
vote
goes
and
then
let
somebody
else
make
that
when
I
spoke
to
some
residents
from
from
Edgewater
I
told
them
that
it
would
take
three
readings
and
at
that
time
B
had
not
been
added
to
our
agenda.
I
pulled
it
off
yesterday
and
that
wasn't
there
so
I'm
supportive
of
that.
AW
AW
C
And
47a
have
been
moved
and
seconded
I
will
quickly
just
add
my
quick
two
bits
in
support
of
of
Linda.
It's
been.
My
I
will
have
to
admit
to
all
of
you
that
I
I'm,
a
biker,
as
well
as
a
walker
and
and
enjoy
these
parks
and
I've,
got
to
tell
you
having
lived
out
on
Easter
Lake
and
seeing
the
improvements
that
have
been
made
there
through
the
years
and
how
much
the
local
residents
have
approved
and
and
really
appreciated
those
improvements.
C
The
terrain
is
a
little
rough
to
be
building
any
residential
things
in
there,
and
so
this
thing
to
me
to
end
up
with
the
proper
outcomes
with
water
quality
and
looking
at
the
vegetation
issues
and
the
tree
issues
and
everything
else
that
needs
to
happen
in
there
needs
to
be
properly
managed
and
maintained
and
cleaned,
not
to
be
a
dumping.
Zone
whatever
and
also
Rich
told
us
earlier.
C
There
aren't
going
to
be
those
four-wheelers
or
motorized
motorcycles
and
and
other
vehicles
in
there
that's
not
allowed
and
they're
going
to
have
Polk
County
people
in
there.
If
there
are
problems,
city
of
Des,
Moines
people
will
respond
and
we
have
gotten
some
assurances
that
Pleasant
Hill
will
also
respond
if
there's
issues
that
are
happening
in
Iran
that
are
concerns
of
the
citizens.
So
I
too,
am
also
fully
supportive
of
this
plan
and
hope
that
it
works
out
for
everybody
and
I'll.
Ask
Indira
for
your
vote.
D
D
You
know
that
they
don't
know
what's
going
on,
and
some
of
these
concerns
that
have
been
brought
up
were
saying.
A
local
kind
of
conversation
conservation
is
going
to
solve
these
problems,
but
the
problems
are
being
brought
up
because
the
neighbors
have
to
bring
them
up
because
they
don't
know
any
details
about
the
project.
So
that
has
been
extremely
frustrating
to
me.
I.
D
Don't
think
that
it's
good
practice
for
us
to
be
put
in
this
position
to
be
making
a
decision
against
the
best
against
the
needs
of
the
residents
against
the
wishes
of
the
residents,
because
they
haven't
had
any
information
and
we
did
get
an
email
from
a
resident
who
previously
was
in
opposition
to
this
project,
but
changed
their
mind
based
on
the
information
they
got.
And
so
all
I
have
to
do
is
Guess
What.
The
residents
would
say.
A
C
AX
AU
AU
AX
AX
AX
I'm
upset
that
the
city
councils
allowed
the
the
city
of
Des
Moines
planning
and
zoning
department
to
change
the
process
of
going
before
the
board
of
adjustment
to
require
application
for
inappropriate
rezoning.
First,
it's
my
understanding
and
I
could
be
wrong
on
this,
but
this
is
the
way
it
was
explained
to
me
by
your
own
staff
that
there
was
a
change
made
that
requires
now
a
person
to
apply
for
rezoning
rather
than
to
go
before
the
board
of
adjustment.
First
I
can't
confirm
that
I
haven't
researched.
AX
That
I,
don't
know
that
to
be
the
case,
but
I'm
mentioning
that.
I
also
understand
the
need
for
a
city
to
have
zoning
and
code
enforcement
requirements.
I
understand
it.
You
guys
work
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
Des
Moines
does
not
become
Detroit
or
another
city.
That's
that's
Fallen
to
disrepair
and
darylict
and
I
commend
this
board
and
in
any
City
staff,
who
has
put
effort
into
doing
that
great
things
to
say
about
that
in
many
respects,
but
I
do
feel
that
there's
an
issue
here,
that's
missed
its
mark.
AX
AX
They
had
said
that
any
business,
a
low
impact
business
that
does
not
do
things
that
obstruct
traffic
flow
or
things
that
are
held
behind
a
fence
are,
are
protected
at
the
state
level.
Now
the
stuff
is
at.
My
house
is
not
my
business
stuff,
primarily
I
don't
run
my
business
out
of
my
home.
My
businesses
ran
out
of
a
small
Warehouse
in
Polk
County
unincorporated,
it's
off
of
Northeast
22nd,
Street
I,
believe
the
actual
address
is
5741..
AX
AX
AX
There
was
letters
that
were
submitted
by
my
neighbor,
some
of
them
quite
spirited,
asked
how
frustrated
they
were
that
the
city
said
that
I
was
running
a
junkyard
out
of
my
home.
That's
clearly
not
the
case.
I
mean
there.
There
may
be
things
back
there
that
you
know
somebody.
So
that's
consistent
with
a
junkyard
I
promise.
You
there's
never
been
a
crane
back.
There.
I
promise
you
there's
never
been
semis,
there's
not
a
car
crusher,
we're
not
doing
stupid
stuff
like
that.
AX
AX
That's
and
that's
remarked,
these
things
are
all
remarked
in
what
I
asked
the
city
for
originally
and
I
think
that
the
city
really
missed
their
Mark.
City
staff
really
missed
their
Mark.
In
saying
we
need
this
person
to
ask
for
industrial
zoning
to
utilize
his
property
behind
his
own
fence
to
do
what
he
does.
E
AX
AX
H
E
AX
AX
AX
E
C
Okay,
let's
ask
if
there's
any
other
speakers
in
there
any
other
people,
parties
and
interests
that
have
been
notified
on
this,
that
are
sitting
out
in
the
audience,
seeing
none
of
anybody
in
the
general
public
that
would
want
to
make
comment
on
this
all
right.
Seeing
then
we
go
to
motion
I'll
second
I'll.
C
C
AX
C
49,
it's
on
a
request
from
Hubble
Realty
Steve
Mosley
is
the
officer
for
approximately
35
Acres
of
property
located
in
the
vicinity
of
4425
East
Douglas
Avenue
to
men,
plan
DSM,
cream
or
tomorrow,
plan
to
revise
the
future
land
use
classification
from
low
density
residential
to
low
medium
density
residential
and
to
rezone
the
property
from
n
to
B
neighborhood
District
to
nx2
Neighborhood
mix
District
to
allow
for
the
development
of
town
homes.
A
is
the
first
consideration,
the
ordinance
above
we'll
ask
now.
If
there's
any
parties
in
interest.
AY
Thank
you,
mayor
members
of
council.
My
name
is
Caleb
Smith
I'm,
with
Hubble
realty
company
filling
in
for
Steve
Mosley
tonight,
who
had
prior
engagements
before
you
denied
his
proposal
to
rezone
a
portion
of
what
we
call
the
Finney
property
and
will
eventually
be
known
as
the
Woodmont
development
to
allow
for
townhome
development
specifically
to
allow
for
fourplex
Townhomes.
That
will
front
along
the
north
side
there
just
by
Douglas.
AY
The
intent
right
now
is
to
have
the
four
plexus
there,
and
the
current
zoning
that's
in
place
doesn't
allow
for
up
Beyond
two
units
being
attached,
as
we
start
heading
south
through

development
we're
going
to
transition
from
to

ultimately
to
detached

we'll
go

proposed.
We
have
met
with

met
with

about
five
six

talk
about

about

We
will
have
good

between

we're
not
going

be

it
also
just
makes
good
sense
with
proximity
to
Douglas

I
know
up
at

we'd
have
ratio
up
speak
against
it.
We
got

agenda
was
approved,
so
that
was
we
took
as
a
positive

We're
certainly
happy

any

may
have
here
tonight.

I'm

Advantage
representing

tonight

pretty
straightforward.
It's
just
those
three
landlocked
Lots
there
and
as
part
of
the
project
to
improve
those
old
vacant,
motels
wanted
to
pull
those
into
the
site
and
pro
and
use
that
for
expanding,
probably
that
Northern
Hotel.
They
don't
have
any

on
that.
Yet
this
is
just
the
first
step
and
obviously
site

will
be
coming
through
at

get
to

All
right,
thank
you
for
taking
me
today:
I'm
Charlie,
Hogue
I'm,
one
of
the
owners
and
the
manager
of
Turbo
manager
in
Des,
Moines
I
moved
here
in
2009
started
a
branch
of
Copeland
Trucking
I'd
run
it
now
with
my
father
and
my
brother,
who
are
both
in
Minneapolis
I'm.
The
boots
on

here,
along
with
30

30

Nationwide.
AZ
So
we
need
a
new
home
we've
been
displaced
on
the
South
Side
I
met
with
Mr
manobomb.
Thank
you
for
that
meeting.
I
appreciated
that
we
got
to
get
out
of
Thomas
Beck
that
got
rezoned
I
moved
across
the
street.
I
was
in
the
same
building
as
Confluence
since
2009,
and
because
I
moved
across
the
street
to
the
old
printer
building,
I
was
in
19
and
I.
The
rezoning
I
believe
happened
in
the
end
of
18.,
so
I
missed
that
grandfathered
in
so
now
you
drive
down
Thomas
back
and
it's
like.
Well.
AZ
Why
Copeland?
Well,
that's
why
everybody
Conway

J,

delivery,
I
mean
there's
trucks
on
left
and
right
all
the
way
down
there,
but
they
get
to
stay,
but
we
got
to
go.
I
was
salty
about
it,
but
now
I
love
it
because
we're
moving
into
over
to
a
wonderful
spot.
It's
already
zoned
perfectly.
It's
zoned
industrial,
it's
a
nice
big
spot
and
our
neighbors
are
a
river
and
a
power
plant.
AZ
So
I,
it's
okay,
it's
a
it's
a
shed
covered
in
in
in
stone
with
me,
yeah
I,
don't
know
it's
got
three
Bays
that
drive
through
one
Bay
that
does
not
drive
through
so
four
doors
on
one
side:
five
on
the
other,
the
fifth
on
the
one
side
being
a
Parts
delivery
area.
You
know,
so
we
can
take
deliveries
from
company
like
there.
We
go
if
I
tilt
it.
AZ
So,
on
the
one
side
facing
the
street
it'll
be
the
three
Bays
and
then
on
the
other
side
facing
the
river
you'll,
be
looking
at
five.
So
it
is
a
WIC
building.
It's
going
to
be
designed
and
built
in
Wisconsin
and
trucked
in
on
flatbeds
and
they'll,
be
putting
it
up.
I'm
told
it'll
only
take
several
months,
not
not
half
a
year
to
make.
AZ
So
my
time
frame
is
is
pretty
stressed.
I
have
to
be
out
of
Thomas
Beck
by
the
first
of
the
year
or
I,
get
retroactively,
fined
up
to
750
dollars
per
day
since
I
went
into
violation
which,
if
you
do
the
math,
we're
talking
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
into
the
city
for
just
being
on
Thomas
Beck.
AZ
But
my
contacts
at
the
zoning
department
just
right
down
the
street
have
been
honestly
a
joy
to
work
with
everybody's
been
great
I
I
have
nothing
but
positive
things
that
have
come
out
of
this
as
a
business
leader
in
town
working
with
the
city,
so
I
hope
for
you
guys
to
support.
Thank
you
any
questions.

AU
Anything
I'd
just
like
to
report
that
I
believe
this
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
do
on
a
council
is
to
review
our
three
direct
reports.
We
have
our
city
managers,
Scott
Sanders,
Jeff
luster
is
City,
Attorney,
Laura,
Baumgartner
who's,
our
city
clerk
and
just
wasn't
aimed
so
this
year
the
council
retained
Mark
Heston
from
Mark
Heston
Associates,
who
helped
develop
the
review
tools
and
help
orchestrate
the
reviews,
and
we
only
had
two
to
review
because
the
city
clerk
had
resigned.
AU
AU
We
met
to
determine
what
kind
of
compensation
should
be
given,
and
that
is
on
your
agenda
today
at
4.5,
and
the
overall
comment
I
will
say
is
that
the
council
believes
that
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
such
hard-working
dedicated
people
who
want
to
make
this
city
even
better
than
it
is,
and
we
appreciate
what
you've
been
doing
in
guiding
us
through
some
really
some
pretty
difficult
times
and
as
we
we
look
forward
to
looking
what
more
we
can
do
to
get
things
to
make
this
the
best
city.
It
can
be
so
Carl.
E
I'll,
second,
it
a
great
job
by
the
three
of
you

We
are
privileged
to
have
someone.
That's
been
in

you
up
there

for
the
job.
I
think
it's
been
pretty
close
to
eight
years
now,
it's
over
eight

The
conversation
was
that
information
was
presented
in
2020
and
some
discussion
was
brought
before
council
at
that
time,
while
being
a
new
director
and
attending
all
the
meetings,
I
hadn't
heard
anything
about
the
changes
and
its
implications.
In
theory,
it
sounded
like
a
good
idea,
but
as
an
nrb
member
I
really
didn't
have
a
lot
of
information
about
the
history
and
the
detail.
AV
E
AW
AW
I
I
mean
I
get
what's
happening,
but
you
know
I
got
a
call
from
the
nrb
members
too,
and
we
as
council
members
I
as
a
council
member,
got
the
call
the
same
time
in
our
B
members
got
the
call,
and
you
know
it
was
stated
that
yes,
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
look
at
making
changes.
We
made
that
recommendation,
but
then
to
have
all
of
these
new
things
put
in
this
ordinance.
It
just
leaves
me
it
leaves
me
on
sure
about
what
we're
doing.
AW
F
AU
Think
that
was
the
initial
goal
was
to
look
at
how
we
could
repurpose
it
now
that
we
have
Heather
in
her
spot
and
really
help
the
neighborhood.
So
I
I
was
expecting
something
to
come
back.
I
think
it
will
actually
give
us
more
flexibility
and
you
know
be
able
to
make
the
membership,
how
we
need
it
and
actually
give
them
I,
think
more
responsibility
and
some
actionable
items
that
they
can
help
with.
AW
AW
BB
So
thank
you,
mayor
members
of
council,
Heather,
tamaga,
neighborhood,
Outreach
coordinator,
so
I'll
try
to
just
keep
asking
me
the
questions
as
I
try
to
cover
them.
So,
first,
all
current
nrb
members
are
invited
to
continue
their
service
within
this
board.
Right
now
we
have
nine
active
nrb
members.
We
do
have
several
that
where
we
have
vacancies
and
non-appointments
I
have
asked
them.
Yet
we
are
waiting
to
see
how
we
came
out
with
the
process,
but
then
finalizing
this
process.
We
will
reach
back
out
to
the
nrb
and
invite
them
to
participate.
C
U
F
C
Please
keep
your
own
time
because
at
the
end
of
the
two
minutes
the
clerk
will
announce
time
and
the
speakers
Mike
will
be
closed
and
we're
going
to
go
immediately
to
the
next
speaker.
We
do
want
to
hear
from
all
of
our
residents.
We
encourage
the
residents
to
be
respectful
of
others
viewpoints
that
the
occasionally
are
different
from
your
own.
C
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
that
speaker
being
barred
from
the
further
comment
and
as
a
presiding
officer,
I'll
determine
whether
the
comments
are
slanderous
or
not.
Fair
warning,
arguing
with
the
presiding
officer
about
the
determination
on
this
matter,
is
not
acceptable
and
permitted
and
doing
so
will
be
considered,
disruptive
and
result
in
that
speaker
being
barred.
C
I
want
to
remind
everybody
and
all
the
members
of
public
that
this
is
a
council
business
meeting
and
the
council
will
conduct
its
meetings
efficiently.
So
here
we
are
with
our
public
speaking
items.
Our
first
Speaker
this
evening
is
Jen
Bass

This
is
mainly
or
especially
true
because
of
covid,
but
also
this
building
is
not
very
accessible
on
days
like
today.
I'm
not
sure
why,
but
the
accessible
entrance
to
this
building's
doors
were
locked
and
there
were
many
stairs
it
took
to
to
get
upstairs
at
all.
I'm,
not
sure
why
that's
the
case,
but
especially
if
we're
going
to
lock
the
accessible
doors,
we
really
need
to
have
hybrid
of
virtual
options,
also
at
the
previous
meeting.
BC
Also,
today
there
was
a
huge
amount
of
people
in
the
Overflow
that
combined
with
kova,
to
really
need
a
bigger
space.
There's
about
40
seats
in
here.
By
my
estimation
of
estimation,
population
of
Des
Moines
is
215
000.
last
I
was
able
to
check
and
that's
about
one
seat
in
this
room
for
5
000
people
in
Des
Moines.
That
does
not
seem
right.
BC
The
majority
of
council
said
that
it
was
not
within
council's
purview
to
handle
the
health
care
of
people
in
or
the
health
rights
of
people
in
Des.
Moines
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
back
on
March
7th,
it
wasn't
on
the
agenda
even
but
the
mayor
and
most
of
council
voted
to
that.
Take
action
between
the
Russia
and
Ukraine
war,
so
in
the
poor
view,
is
Russia
a
war
between
Russia
and
Ukraine,
but
not
the
Healthcare
of
citizens.
BC
I
think
that's
very
odd,
and
there
are
many
things
like
that
where
it
just
does
not
make
sense
for
the
health
care
of
our
citizens
or
our
residents
could
not
be
in
the
purview
of
the
city.
We've
also
seen
that
discrimination
goes
unenforced
on
things
like
housing
and
other
City
issues.
Now
the
city
just
chooses
not
to
enforce
a
lot
of
policies
around
racism
and
sexism.
Meanwhile,
refusing
to
all
right
have
law
enforcement
priorities
on
things
like
abortion
and
marijuana,

Hi,

all
now

pretty
soon
it
will
be

connected

will
be
the
same

well,

so
in
a
sense
we're
one
community
and
I'm
here
to
savor
mine,
your
city
and
this
city
council
is
blatantly
ignoring
your
own
City's,
very
serious
issues
and
it's
having
a
negative
impact
on
all
of
us.
BD
Make
no
mistake:
it's
not
for
a
lack
of
understanding
or
city
funding
that
these
issues
are
being
ignored,
but
rather
this
council's
Choice,
your
actions
or
lack
of
are
classic
examples
of
a
complete
and
utter
breakdown

government

no-bidden,
multi-million

Remember
Ten,
Thousand
Highwoods
could
possibly
smell
like
marijuana
on
October
13th
I
witnessed
a
car
being
stopped
for
the
suspicious
spell
of
marijuana.
The
driver,
a
white
male
Uber
driver,
the
passenger
seated
in
the
back
was
a
black
male
was
cooperative,
was
immediately
placed
in
handcuffs
and
a
patrol
car.
BE
The
uncooperative
driver
refused
to
get
out
of
the
gun.
I
mean
out
of
the
car.
He
was
ordered
by
two
officers
and
it
wasn't
until
their
Sergeant.
The
third
officer
arrived,
the
driver
had
a
gun
and
was
never
placed
in
the
Handcuff
finally
exited
the
vehicle
to
find
that
there
was
an
unmeasurable
amount
of
marijuana
on
the
passenger.
BE
You
understand
it's
bad.
Two
officers
were
murdered
by
a
white
male
and
it's
this
kind
of
implicit
bias
that
not
only
endangers
our
officers
but
puts
it
public
at
risk
too.
It's
time
that
you
take
the
seven
recommendations
for
the
marijuana
task
force
and
in
the
disparities
of
racial
profiling
and
what
it
causes
harm
to
our
communities
in
Des,
Moines
and
Iowa.
The
disparities
are
off
the
charts
in
our
prisons,
and
we
know
that
so
please
take
care
of
that.
Thank
you.

of
2020.
The
marijuana
task
force
presented
seven
recommendations
for
listening
the
racial
despair
outcomes
of
marijuana
enforcement
in
our
city,
city
manager,
Scott
Sanders
said
that
he
would
work
further
to
would
further
engage
in
the
police,
see
how
we
could
Implement
these
recommendations.
And
since
then,
we
have
seen
no
action.
BF
In
April
of
this
year,
Public
Works
LLC,
presented
to
you
23
recommendations
to
change
the
way
City,
including
the
police,
collect
and
use
data
to
inform
their
decision
making
city
manager.
Again,
you
said
that
you
would
have
to
meet
with
the
police
to
determine
a
strategic
plan
for
how
we
would
Implement
these
recommendations.
The
council
asked-
and
you
agreed
that
you
would
provide
an
update
in
the
next
quarterly
work
session,
but
that
work
session
has
come
and
gone
and
it
was
not
discussed.
BF
We
did
hire
21st
century
policing
to
study
the
culture
of
the
police
department.
But
again
we
will
wait
seven
months
to
hear
those
recommendations.
What
good
are
recommendations
if
they
are
not
followed
through
with
action
and
each
conversation
or
each
conversation
seems
to
end
with
the
city
manager
needing
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
police
chief?
BF
So
what
is
going
on?
Do
you
not
talk
to
him?
Are
you
overwhelmed
by
information
unable
to
decide
what
to
do?
Do
you
lack
the
ability
to
influence
him,
or
are
you
creating
another
reason
for
us
to
have
to
sit
and
wait?
We
need
updates
what
conversations
are
being
had.
What
is
being
done?
What
is
the
timeline
I'm
specifically
asking
you
Scott
Sanders,
because
we
are
always
waiting
on
you.
BF
We
need
action
and
you
have
plenty
of
recommendations
and
information.
Pick.
One
thing
start
tomorrow,
get
something
done.
You
owe
it
to
the
residents
who
pay
your
salary
and
Council
demand
this
from
him.
Every
chance
you
get
it's
a
waste
of
taxpayer
money
to
pay
for
expensive
studies
and
get
failed
to
act.
We
are
holding
you
all
accountable.
