a
very
special
Proclamation

Do

On

A
A
G
A
And
for
those
of
you
that
have
not
attended
our
meetings
before
I
want
you
to
know
that
for
the
hearings
this
evening
we
have
one
conveyance
hearing,
one
dismissal
on
which
no
public
comment
will
be
taken.
We
have
seven
zoning
hearings,
55
to
60
and
64.,
one
keeper
hearing
two
local
Landmark
hearings
and
one
urban
renewal
hearing
and
six
public
Improvement
hearings
as
a
reminder
for
the
zoning
items
only
which
are
the
items
55
to
60
and
64..
We
will
hear
from
the
parties
in
interest
first
and
then
from
the
general
public.
A
The
parties
in
interest
are
those
people
that
are
either
the
applicant
or
the
people
that
live
within
250
feet
and
have
received
notice
from
the
city.
After
all,
those
parties
and
interests
have
commented,
we
will
open
it
up
to
the
general
public
for
Germaine
comments
and
each
person
to
Aid.
We
will
I
believe
give
one
minute.
A
Is
that
correct
for
any
Germaine
comments
and
we'll
ask
you
to
step
to
the
microphone
and
and
get
that
again
we're
going
to
ask
those
people
who
are
the
parties
in
interest
first
and
if
someone
general
public
stands
up
before,
then
you
will
be
considered
disruptive
and
won't
be
allowed
to
speak,
not
only
on
that
item
but
for
the
rest
of
the
evening.
So
please
do
not
step
up
till
the
general
public.
A
If
you're,
not
a
party
in
interest
for
the
Caper
hearing,
any
interested
person
may
make
Jermaine
comments
and
not
to
exceed
one
minute
for
all
other
hearings.
This
evening,
any
interested
person
may
make
Jermaine
comments
and
not
to
exceed
one
minute
per
person
to
a
maximum
of
five
minutes
per
hearing,
unless
the
hearing
is
ended
sooner
for
either
a
failure
to
make
Germaine
comments
or
the
comments
and
otherwise
and
seize
as
a
reminder
on
the
public.
A
Improvement
hearings
only
comments
as
to
the
plans,
specifications,
form
of
documents,
Engineers
estimate
and
the
low
bidder
designation
will
be
considered
germane.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
we'll
get
started
with
item
53.
This
item
is
to
dismiss
the
hearing
on
a

properly
locally
known
as

and
1445

6
council

A
Item

is

the

of
a
portion
of
a

again
we'll
ask
for

the
general

one
minute.
If
anybody's

in
making
comment
on
this

A
Item
55
item
55
is
regarding
Quest
from
Wesco
Hull
LLC
Derek
West
is
the
officer
for
property
located
at
2101
Hall
Avenue
to
amend,
planned
DSM,
creating
our
tomorrow
plan
to
revise
the
future
land
classification
for
the
Eastern
portion
of
the
property,
from
low
density
residential
to
Industrial
and
to
rezone
the
property
from
I-1
industrial
district
to
n3a,
Neighborhood
District,
to
limited
i1
industrial
district
to
allow
the
use
of
the
property
a
use
that
includes
office
and
Industrial
components.
A
is
the
first
consideration
of
the
orders
above
B
is
the
final
consideration.
A
H
When
we
first
worked
on
the
property
back
in
2017
and
2019,
it
was
zoned
M1
for
the
entire
property,
but
then,
when
2019
came
through
and
the
city
upgraded,
its
zoning
ordinance
and
map
half
property
on
the
East
half
got
switched
back
to
residential,
and
we
are
here
tonight
just
to
correct
that
error.
So
Derek
can
get
his
business
up
and
running
and
operational.
A
I
G
A
Item
56
is
on
our
request
from
Penske
trucking
leasing.
Company
LP
guy
Hobert
is
the
officer
for
property
located
at
4101
East
14th
Street
to
amend
plan
DSM,
creating
our
tomorrow
plan
to
revise
the
future
land
use
classification
for
approximately
1.03
Acres
of
the
western
portion
of
the
property
from
Community
mixed
use
to
Industrial
and
to
rezone
the
entire
property
from
MX3
Dash.
A
A
J
Good
evening
Justin
Strom
2727
Southwest
Snyder
Boulevard
as
part
of
a
site
plan
approval
process.
It
was
noted
that
the
existing
zoning
is
mixed
use
and
the
existing
approved
usage
is
Trucking
and
Transportation
terminal.
So
as
part
of
that
site
plan,
City
staff
recognized
that
Trucking
and
transportation
terminals
only
approve
or
approved
for
industrial
zoning,
which
is
the
zoning
around
that
area
too.
So,
as
part
of
the
site
plan,
the
city
requested
that
we
clean
this
rezoning
up
to
amend
the
issue
and
make
sure
that
we're
zoning
matched
up
with
the
usage.
K
A
All
right:
let's
move
to
57.
a
request
from
WC
MRP,
Des,
Moines,
Center,
LLC,
Nate
and
Paul
is
the
officer
for
review
and
approval
of
a
First
Amendment
to
the
Southdale
PUD
conceptual
plan
in
4900
Southeast
14th
Street,
to
allow
the
expansion
of
a
retail
use,
Home
Depot
to
include
additional
outdoor
display
and
Merchandising
in
the
parking
lot.
This
item
was
continued
from
the
March
6th
2023
council
meeting.
Again,
let's
ask
is
the
applicant
in
the
house
or
a
representative
thereof,.
M
M
The
request
is
to
Simply
expand
our
seasonal
selling
space
to
allow
us
to
have
more
space
along
the
front
of
the
store.
We
request
her
to
move
the
tough
sheds
out
into
the
parking
lot
area.
It
gives
more
visibility
to
not
only
the
sheds
themselves,
but
then
gives
us
more
selling
space
for
seasonal
items
such
as
barbecue
grills,
Lumber
patio
sets
that
kind
of
stuff
along
the
front
of
the
store.
E
Mr
Mayor
Jeremy
I
appreciate
you
coming
I
represent
this
area,
and
so
my
concern
is
you've
got
a
whole
strip.
Mall,
that's
empty
right!
Next
to
you
absolutely
and
you're,
asking
to
put
things
out
in
a
parking
lot.
When
we
have
available
space
that
I
believe
the
whole
property
I
know
the
taxes
go
to
one
LLC,
so
their
own.
That
whole
area
is
owned
by
one.
Have
you
guys
talked
to
them
about
possibly
expanding
your
store
footprint
into
some
of
that
existing
trip?
Mall
that's
been
empty
for
a
while.
M
So
yes,
and
no
to
get
a
hold
of
the
property
owner
was
quite
difficult.
Just
to
get
this
small
thing,
I
needed
one
signature.
In
order
to
put
in
this
request.
It
took
nearly
two
months
to
get
that
one
signature.
It
was
very
difficult
and
this
would
be
what
you're
suggesting
I
I
understand,
but
that
would
take
a
read
write
of
a
lease
contract.
It's
space,
that's
not
ours!
M
It's
not
part
of
our
lease
on
there,
so
we'd
be
asking
to
most
likely
re-rank
that
lease
in
order
to
have
use
of
that
space,
because
our
property
ends
where
that
that
there's
a
roadway
that
separates
us
to
halves
of
the
parking
lot
or
portions
of
the
parking
lot.
So
that's
not
a
property,
that's
ours
to
maintain
or
sellable
space
for
us
currently,
and
it
would
also
put
the
items
that
we're
looking
to
sell
in
front
of
an
empty
storefront
and
and
they
would
look
kind
of
abandoned
there.
E
Not
asking
you
to
put
it
I,
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
be
putting
anything
else
out
in
the
parking
lots,
I
I'm
I'm,
asking
you
to
put
it
inside
and
expand
your
store
footprint
to
have
those
inside
right.
I
I
mean
I,
understand
the
seasonal,
where
you
put
your
lawn
and
garden
I,
do
a
ton
of
shopping
there.
I
know
what
he's
talking
about,
but
to
put
a
bunch
more
sheds
out
there.
E
I
I
just
think
that
that
no
matter
what
you
do
to
Landscaping,
no
matter
what
you
do
it's
just
it's
not
something
that
is,
is
very
eye-appealing
or
curb
appealing.
You
know,
you've
got
your
competitors,
that's
half
a
mile
up
the
road.
That's
had
to
go
and
buy
property
and
expand
their
footprint
to
expand
their
store.
You
have
the
same
opportunity
to
be
able
to
do
that.
E
E
The
past
it's
been
multiple
trailers
that
have
parked
on
that
parking
lot.
I,
don't
think
you've
been
able
we're
supposed
to
have
those
out
there,
but
you
have
in
the
past
lots
of
them
sellable
trailers.
You
mean
yes
and
rentable
ones,
also,
okay
and
so
I
I'm,
just
I.
Maybe
we
can
give
you
I'm
sure.
Maybe
you'll
get
a
better
response
if
you,
if
you
ask
to
rent
some
more
of
their
space,
if
that's
what
you
know.
E
M
Sheds
were
already
out
in
front
up
against
the
building.
They
were
up
against
the
building
instead
of
out
in
the
parking
lot
correct,
right,
yeah
and
you
don't
want
to
keep
them
up
against
the
building.
We're
trying
to
create
more
sellable
space
and
the
sheds
were
the
thing
that
made
more
sense
to
move
out
to
the
parking
lot
to
allow
Lumber
and
things
need
space
to
load,
and
it
makes
more
sense
to
keep
that
against
the
building
instead
of
having
that
out
in
the
parking
lot
there.
M
So
so
again,
you've
got
score
fronts
that
are
empty,
I.
Agree
with
that,
but
you
also
have
a
store
who's,
trying
to
make
sales
and
Thrive,
and
to
do
that,
we'd
like
to
continue
to
offer
more
products
and
services,
and
this
is
one
way
of
doing
that
inside
the
footprint
that
we
currently
have.
Control
and
access
to
yeah.
E
M
E
Out
in
front
correct
in
in
the
front
of
your
store,
like
typically
where
the
rest
of
them
they're
like
they
misunderstood
the
question,
they're
they're,
typically
not
in
the
parking
lot
at
some
of
these
other
places
around.
It
depends
on
the
layout
in
the
facility
yeah,
it's
not
and
that's
why
I
just
I
feel
like
that
that
we're
we're
doing
something
that
it's
not
very
curb
appeal
and
just
because
we're
on
the
south
side
and
that
that
frustrates
me
and
when
I've
got
a
strip
mall,
that's
been
completely
empty.
So
that's!
E
M
So
just
a
comment
on
that
Ankeny
has
their
sheds
in
the
parking
lot
they
have
for
years
and
again
doing
this
is
just
helping
the
store
sell
more
product.
It
gives
us
more
access
to.
You
know
space
in
a
way
that
is
actually
logical
and
putting
those
sheds
there
keeps
them
close
enough
to
the
store
so
that
we
don't
have
an
issue
with
the
homeless
population,
which
has
been
an
issue
in
the
past.
On
that.
E
M
E
Yeah
no
I'm,
not
I
I,
wouldn't
agree
to
put
any
more
in
front
of
the
spaces
that
are
empty.
I'm,
asking
you
to
to
expand
your
footprint
of
the
store
and
and
put
them
in
put
some
of
them
inside.
If
you
want
to
sell
them
and
you
gotta,
we've
got
a
whole
strip
while
that's
empty
and
owned
by
the
same
people
and
I
know
it's
frustrating.
We
had
a
difficult
time
getting
getting
them
to
sign
off
when
we
did
them
again.
They
think
I
do
understand
where
you're
coming
from
there
and
I
I
I'm.
E
Sorry
I,
just
I
can't
be
supportive
of
that.
If
others
want
to
be
supportive
of
it,
that's
that's
their
choice,
but
I
mean
I
I
frequent
your
store
a
lot
I
I
mean
that's
typically,
where
I
go.
If
I
need
anything,
I
don't
go
to
your
competitors
up
the
street,
but
I
I
do
use
your
store
a
lot
and
I
just
I
a
lot
of
the
lawn
garden
stuff,
but
I
I,
don't
know
I
just
I
I
can't
I
can't
be
supportive
of
that.
Go
ahead.
G
M
M
My
impression
was,
we
would
be
adding
basically,
two
small
islands
and
putting
some
grass
and
or
vegetation
in
those
and
I
was
told
that
those
details
would
be
worked
out
after
this
process.
There's
the
exact
of
that
to
make
it
look
permanent.
So
the
idea
is
that
they
look
like
they're
supposed
to
be
there,
that
they
were
intended
to
be
there
there's
a
better
way
to
put
it.
E
So
could
you
could
you
put
together
the
site
plan?
We
continue
this
in
two
weeks
and
then
you
can
come
back
or
we
can
sit
down
beforehand.
I
can
come
up
to
the
store
and
you
can
kind
of
show
it
to
me.
I
know
it.
I
read
that
you're
going
to
have
to
go
through
staff
and
they're
going
to
have
to
approve
the
site
plan.
It
would
be
nice
to
see
what
permanently
what
it's
going
to
be.
E
A
G
F
A
All
right
item
58
his
own
request
from
Hubble
realty
company
Caleb
Smith
is
the
officer
for
review
and
approval
of
a
First
Amendment
to
the
gray
station
PUD
conceptual
plan
for
property
located
in
the
vicinity
of
1300
Tuttle
Street,
to
update
the
realignment
of
Southwest
13th
Street
and
to
revise
review
requirements
for
the
future.
Pud
development
site
plans
continued
from
March
6
2023
council
meeting
for
this,
we'll
first
ask
for
any
parties
and
interest
any
the
applicant
or
representative.
N
Good
evening
mayor
members
Council,
my
name
is
Caleb
Smith
and
vice
president
of
land
development
at
Hubble,
realty
company
we've
actually
got
the
next
three
items
here
in
front
of
you
tonight
as
we're
looking
at
getting
our
next
phase
of
the
gray
station
project
moving
forward.
This
first
item
on
the
agenda
number
58
is
for
a
modification
to
the
Pud
concept
plan,
the
overall
master
plan
of
the
community
and,
as
the
item
noted,
there's
two
changes.
One
is
the
alignment
of
13th
Street.
N
We
made
a
slight
adjustment
to
that
to
kind
of
accommodate
our
current
plan
and
two
is
to
adjust
the
approval
process
of
applications
in
this
development
as
they
move
forward
to
get
it
more
consistent
to
how
the
curtain
zoning
code
is
we're
not
asking
for
any
other
special
exceptions,
other
than
just
be
consistent
with
how
other
projects
are
carried
through
the
project.
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
briefly
about
the
other
projects,
if
interested
or
we
could
keep
it
to
this
one
and
take
it
up
when
those
items
come
up.
If
that
makes
sense,
let's.
A
again
on
request
from
Hubble
realty
company
Caleb
Smith,
the
officer
for
review
and
approval
of
PUD
final
development
plan
for
grade
station
Telus
Condos
for
property
located
in
the
vicinity
of
1300
Tuttle
Street,
to
allow
the
development
of
the
property
with
the
construction
of
two
condo
buildings
containing
84
residential
units.
This
item
was
continued
from
the
March
6
2023
council
meeting.
First
again,
we'll
ask
Caleb
to
step
up
and
give
us
sort
of
a
quick
update
on
this
one.
N
Again,
Caleb
Smith
with
Hubble
realty
company,
this
Gray
Station,
tell
us
condos
project
is
on
the
Northern
end
of
the
plat
5
project
area,
so
this
will
be
just
south
of
Telus
and
we'll
have
13th
Street
on
the
West
Side
excited
to
get
moving
forward
on
that
project.
Is
that
to
continue
to
build
on
the
multi-family
development
in
this
area
and
there's
a
nice
anchor
for
us
with
also
the
additional
Townhomes
to
the
South
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
Darling
Armstrong
on
the
east
side
and
I
used
to
live
in
Illinois
I'm,
a
former
cmap
employer
I,
was
on
the
housing
committee
and
helping
out
for
people
with
disabilities,
especially
for
affordable
housing
and
seniors.
Who
are
disabled
and
I
would
like
to
know.
When
you
get
this
thing
up
and
running,
will
you
be
able
to
make
sure
to
have
four
people
for
individuals
with
disabilities
and
low-income
people
to
make
sure
that
they
want
to
live
in
affordable
housing?
N
The
Telus
project
is
a
for
sale,
condo
Community.
Obviously
we
have
to
meet
all
fair
housing,
Administration
requirements
and
accessibility
requirements
for
a
community
like
this.
The
market
drives
the
demand
for
these
units
in
this
area.
We've
done
a
lot
of
analysis
and
Market
studies
to
suggest
that
our
project
makes
sense
as
we've
got
it
structured,
so
I
think
at
this
point
in
time,
we've
we've
done
what
we
can
and
that
those
issues
that
are
brought
forward.
I
still
believe
we
have
a
very
successful
and
viable
project
to
bring
forward.
O
N
It
did
and
honestly
we
know
we
have
plenty
of
town
hall
Lots
out
there
right
now
under
existing
Flats.
What's
really
driving
this
project
is,
is
the
Telus
project
is
getting
that
on
board
and
then
obviously
adding
more
Town
Home
Development
for
us
down?
The
road
is
obviously
a
positive
as
well,
but
yes
we're
very
confident.
This
will
be
a
successful
project.
Okay,.
A
Item
60.,
it's
going
to
request
from
the
Hubble
Realty
Caleb
Smith
is
the
officer
for
review
and
approval
of
a
PUD
development
plan
for
grade
station,
plat,
5
town
homes
and
Clubhouse
for
property
located
in
the
vicinity
of
1300
Tuttle
Street
to
allow
for
the
construction
of
65
town
homes
and
a
clubhouse
amenity
building.
This
item
again
was
continued
from
the
March
6
2023
council
meeting
again
we'll
ask
parties
in
interest
Caleb.
N
Keeping
you
busy
Caleb
Smith
with
Hubble
realty
company.
This
is
for
the
portion
of
the
project.
That's
just
south
of
the
Telus
site
that
we
just
spoke
about.
This
will
be
bounded
by
Grace
Parkway
on
the
south
and
we'll
have
65
more
town.
Home
units
units
are
very
consistent
in
what
we
have
planned
and
proposed
to
build
in
the
first
phases.
N
So
you'll
see
a
lot
of
the
same
product
types
in
there
with
a
couple
variations
that
we've
worked
through
with
staff
on
on
coloring
and
things
like
that
other
than
that
there's
also
additional
the
clubhouse
that
was
included
in
the
original
concept
plan
for
the
development,
and
this
this
phase
will
bring
that
online
as
well.
Happy
to
answer
any
questions,
foreign.

is
the
officer
for
designation
of
the

at

and
Chapel.
As
a
local
Landmark
named
Fort
Des
Moines
Memorial
Park
again,
we'll
ask
if
there's
any
general
comments.
It
looks
like
there's
a
young
man
here
at
the
I'll.
G
G
P
You
Jack
Porter

I'm,
the
treasurer
of

Fort
Des

where
the
non-profit

owns
the
park,
we're
asking
for
your
support
and
a
little
bit
of
question
I'm,
not
sure
from
the
agenda.
If
you
received
the
nomination
or
the
draft
part
one
that
Kelly
Lyden
prepared
about
the
history
of
the
fort,
if
you
didn't
well,
we'll
we'll
surprise
Supply
a
copy
of
that
to
you
later,
because
it's
a
very
interesting
history.
P
One
of
the
things
that
you
may
or
may
not
know
is
back.
In
1974
the
fort
the
entire
Fort
was
listed
on
the
national
register
as
a
Historic
Landmark,
but
we're
trying
to
apply
for
historic
tax
credits,
and
we
noticed
that
what
other
criteria
does
not
recognize.
National
Historic,
Landmark
designation,
only
local
Historic,
Landmark
designation.
P
K
A
E
Question
just
a
comment.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
stepping
in
Jack
I
know
this
all
of
us
all
of
you
stepping
in
because
we've
had
our
challenges,
as
you
well
know,
of
this
particular
property,
and
it's
it's
it's
it's
a
beautiful
piece
of
property
that
we
need
to
protect

take
care
of,

I'm
happy

all

G
P
F
A
A
D
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
address
a
couple
of
the
items
that
are
in
the
change
from
our
previous
budget
book.
One
is
related
to
some
changes
on
Ingersoll,
I
and
I
really
appreciate
staff
working
to
get
this
project
in
we
had
requests
from
local
businesses
and
the
neighborhood,
and
it's
really
been
a
long
time
in
coming
to
have
a
road
diet
at
saman
street
parking
and
some
bike
infrastructure.
D
In
this
stretch,
and
particularly
given
the
activity
in
the
area
with
the
arrival
of
big
Grove
and
some
new
apartment
developments,
this
change
was
really
needed
and
getting
this
bumped
up
this
year
was
really
appreciated.
I'll
note
that
there's
another
project
that
was
also
an
important
project,
but
that
we
are
delaying
on
on
2nd
Avenue
I
do
hope
that
we
can
work
with
staff
during
the
delay
on
that
Second,
Avenue
project.
D
D
That
project
has
gotten
significantly
more
expensive
and
I
think
it
with
projects
like
this,
and
particularly
when
the
cost
increase
in
this
in
this
manner.
It's
a
good
opportunity
to
take
a
step
back
and
reevaluate
if
it's
necessary
and
if
it's
a
good
use
of
dollars
and
I'm,
not
sure
that
this
The
increased
dollars
towards
this
project
are
the
best
use
of
our
residence
dollars.
You
know
we've
got
multiple
Bridges
across
the
river
downtown.
Actually,
there
are
four
other
Bridges
within
a
quarter
of
a
mile.
D
I,
it's
something
I'm,
hoping
that
the
council
will
look
at
and
that
we
can.
We
can
get
to
because
I
think
that
would
be
a
better
overall
use
and
wanted
to
flag
that
and
make
sure
that
the
the
public
is
aware
and
can
start
thinking
about
that
as
well,
because
I
think
that
that
will
serve
us
better
on
that.
D
E
Real
real
quick
mayor,
if
I,
can
jump
in
real,
quick,
we're
gonna
make
comments
about
it.
I
I,
I,
appreciate,
council,
member
mandelbaum's
voice
and
some
of
the
things
that
he
feels
very
important
as
well
I'm
a
little
disappointed
as
some
of
the
Southwest
ninth
improvements
that
were
all
of
his
Ward
from
basically
Tuttle
to
Park
Avenue,
that
a
study
was
supposed
to
be
done
a
year
and
a
half
ago
and
nothing's
been
done.
We've
had
multiple
accidents.
There,
we've
had
deaths
that
have
happened
there
and
we
share.
E
We
share
that
Corridor
now
through
that
through
that
portion,
that's,
but
that
was
all
that
was
all
of
of
council
member
mandelbaum's
Ward
at
that
at
that
time,
where
a
lot
of
these
things
were
happening,
the
study
was
put
in
it.
Never
it
never
got
done.
There's
only
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
here
for
the
future
budget.
Now
I've
had
conversations
with
with
the
city
manager
that
we
are
going
to
need
to
find
money
to
improve
that
Corridor
and
I.
E
Don't
know
what
the
answer
is,
but
after
the
study
we're
going
to
find
out
but
I'm
disappointed
that
we
share,
we
share
that
portion
of
it
and
sometimes
I.
Think
folks
on
the
South
Side
forget
that
I
only
represent
half
of
the
South
Side,
not
the
full
south
side,
but
I
I
struggle
with
with
the
with
the
comments
that
that
I
have
to
take
on
because
I
don't
represent
all
of
the
south
side
and
I
look
at
Ruth
as
she.
E
She
knows
that,
but
I'm
I'm
doing
my
best
I
know
Josh
has
a
very
big
Ward.
Now
he
has
all
the
downtown
area.
He's
got
a
lot
of
different
priorities
with
with
the
East
Village
and
things
like
that.
But
this
this
needs
to
be
a
priority
and
we
will
talk
about
that
in
May
as
we
go
through
our
different
CIP
priorities.
E
But
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
study
gets
done
this
year
as
we
go
through
the
budget
and
then
we
look
at
it
next
year
and
we
take
a
look
and
see
what
type
of
improvements
and
we're
going
to
have
to
arrange
some
things
and
things
are
going
to
have
to
come
off.
That
I
mean
I
I,
understand
that
we're
we're
strapped
and
we're
were
it,
but
there's
things
in
here
and
the
two-way
conversions
in
Connect
downtown
and
all
of
those
things
we've
talked
about
that
for
years
and
I.
E
Don't
believe
that
the
downtown
businesses
are
completely
all
bought
in
to
to
doing
a
lot
of
those
things.
I
I
I've
heard
enough
from
them
to
say
that
they're
not.
But
you
know,
when
push
comes
to
shove,
maybe
they
will
be
so
I
know,
that's
a
completely
different,
we're
probably
able
to
use
Tiff
and
some
things
like
that
to
do
some
of
that,
but
I
I
don't
know,
but
so
we'll
we'll
take
a
look
at
that.
E
You
know
it's
difficult
to
to
say
that
we're
not
going
to
have
cars
go
across
there
anymore,
when
we
put
a
ton
of
money
into
the
streetscape
on
the
western
Gateway
and
then
we're
going
to
have
the
Market
District
in
the
Eastern
portion
of
it
to
not
have
vehicular
traffic
go
down
there
now
I'm
happy
to
make
some
improvements
in
whether
it
be
multimodal
with
bike
and
walking
to
make
sure
that
they're
safe
happy
to
do
that.
Maybe
eliminate
some
of
the
parking
on
the
bridge.
E
G
I
was
just
gonna
say:
are
we
gonna
have
that's
a
discussion
we're
going
to
have
in
May
right,
so
we're
going
to
go
over
the
CIP
project,
so
we
can
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
different
projects,
so
we'll
have
more
discussion
and
be
able
to
understand
what
is
going
to
happen
or
kind
of
have
more
studies
done
as
to
if
you
shut
it
off.
What's
going
to
be
and
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
implications
and
the
budget.
O
Mayor
County,
yes,
I,
welcome
the
chance
to
have
a
further
discussion
on
this.
This
has
been
in
the
plans
for
about
10
years,
but
by
gosh.
Downtown
has
changed
a
lot
so,
let's
before
we
dive
into
this,
let's
see
if
this
is
the
best
way
to
to
spend
our
dollars.
So
I
look
forward
to
the
conversation
and
I,
don't
know
if
that
would
be
a
council
Workshop
or
it's.
G
E
G
E
L
A
D
And
Mr
Mayor,
if
I
man,
one
one
other
point,
I
I,
agree
with
councilmember
gato
that
we
need
to
study
and
address
the
Southwest.
Ninth
quarter,
I
I've
called
for
that
as
well,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
important
is
that
we
be
open
to
the
full
range
of
solutions
potentially
identified
in
that
study,
because
I
think
sometimes,
if
we
send
mixed
messages
that
we
want
to
study.
But
we
want
a
specific
outcome.
Staff
can
sometimes
not
know
what
to
do
with
that.
D
E
I
agree
100
as
we
went
through
the
Southwest
ninth
revitalization
and
had
multiple
inputs
from
all
the
neighborhoods,
and
one
of
the
suggestions
was
to
make
it
two
lanes
in
parking
on
each
lane
and
put
bike
Lanes
on
Southwest.
Nine
I
would
have
thought
that
the
world
was
going
to
come
to
an
end
when
they
discussed
that.
E
A
C
G
E
L
Just
real
quick
quickly,
this
is
worth
repeating
because
I
know
this
is
the
second
batch
of
donations
that
that
you're
receiving
and
that
this
is
such
an
important
project.
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
our
facilities
park
and
rec
Engineers
legal.
Even
on
these
agreements,
just
the
team
effort
that's
been
put
forward
because
this
will
be
a
gem
for
the
neighborhood
once
it's
developed.
Thank
you.
G
But
I
was
just
going
to
move
it,
but
also
thank
the
people
that
have
been
so
generous
for
this
community
center
I
mean
it's
going
to
be
a
tremendous
asset
to
the
north
side
and
can't
wait
for
it
to
get
done,

but
again
the
generosity
of
Des,
Moines
residents
and
businesses
has
been
tremendous
and
I
can't.
Thank
them
enough.

And
as
everybody's
voting,
all
of
us
that
that
attended
and
want
to
thank
all
the
neighbors
for
their
input
and
and
support
envisioning
for
this
project
to
have
it
be
visioned,
as
it
is
really
expanding.
The
concept
and
I
want
to
thank
the
the
staff
for
listening
and
working
and
really
creating
a
really
special
place.

Everybody.
A
All
right
item
72
is
amending
chapter
114.
The
municipal
code
regarding
traffic
regulation
changes
as
follows:
Council
Communication
number
23-157
is
parking
restrictions,
67th
Street
between
Boston
Avenue
and
Douglas.
Avenue
B
is
parking
restrictions,
State
Avenue
between
East
29th
and
East
30th
Street
C
is
parking
restriction,
whole
Avenue
between
East
39th
and
Street,
and
East
40th
Street.
Q

My
work
vehicle
is
a
service
van
that
I
park
on
that
street
in
in
this
proposed
no
parking
Zone
a
couple
of
things
I'd
like
to
bring
to
the
council's
attention
before
we
move
on
measure
a
is,
for
starters,
I'm
all
about
safety,
and
if
it
is
so
deemed
that
that
there's
a
line
of
sight,
issue
and
measure
a
here
regarding
it
becomes
a
safety
concern.
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
62nd
street
again
entirely.

Many
of
these
houses,
if
they're
lucky
enough
to
have
a
garage,
don't
have
place
to
store
multiple
vehicles
I
park
in
my
garage,
my
wife
also
parks
in
our
garage,
and
it's
just
it
would.
It
would
be
a
major
inconvenience
to
me
to
have
this
area
now
deemed
into
a
No
Parking
Zone,
when
what
stipulations
were
when,
when
the,
when
the
other,
no
parking
zones
that
were
on
the
street,
why
were
they
deemed
no
parking
zones?
And
this
one
was
not
I've
lived
in
my
house,
for
it
will
be
10
years
next
month.
Q
I
think.
If
we
want
to
take
a
consideration
on
safety,
it
would
be
to
maybe,
let's
put
a
police
officer
down
there
on
Boston
Avenue
clock
and
clock
in
traffic
going
up
and
down
62nd
Street
I
would
I
would
wager
to
Guess
that
over
50
percent
is
breaking
the
speed
limit
here
again,
I
I
want
our
city
streets
to
be
safe.
My
job
is
actually
a
a
I
drive
around
fix
automatic
doors,
the
safety
of
those
doors,
the
safety
in
general
I
do
take
to

However,
since
I've
been
on
the
access
board,
I've
been
a
little
bit
disappointed
that
we've
approved
plans
for
primarily
Parks
but
other
City
things
that
come
before
us
that
don't
include
a
non-gendered
or
family
restroom
and
I.
Don't
understand
that
I
in
speaking
with
staff.
They
tell
me
that
that
there's,
a
safety
concern
and
and
I
got
to
tell
you
that
it
just
seems
a
little
bit
lame
to
me.
S
The
solution
seems
very
simple:
other
other
cities,
the
size
of
Des
Moines,
have
you
know,
managed
to
figure
out
how
to
have
non-gendered
restrooms
in
their
in
their
parks
and
such
and
given
the
hatefulness
that
we've
seen
happen
right
down.
The
street
I
just
think
it's
more
important
than
ever
that
the
city
of
Des
Moines
set
an
example.
S
So
I
guess
that
my
ask
is
that
you
include
in
any
plans
going
forward
at
least
consideration
of
non-gendered
or
family
bathrooms.
It's
not
it's
not
just
a
trans
thing.
It's
not
just
a
bigender
thing.
It's
a
family
thing
and
I
I
just
hope
that
going
forward
City
staff
will
be
instructed
that
they
should
include
non-gendered
bathrooms
in
any
any
plans
going
forward.
Thank
you
so
much.

Hello,
my
name
is
Adam
callownan
I
live
in
Ward
3.
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
the
need
of
the
city
to
have
virtual
participation
or
hybrid
meetings,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
cannot
attend
these
meetings
in
person,
especially
since
covet
a
lot
of
people
still
are
not
able
to
attend
meetings
in
person
and
for
various
other
reasons.
A
lot
of
other
cities
and
counties
across
Iowa
offer
virtual
participation.
T
The
city
has
been
given
millions
of
dollars
in
Opera
funds,
not
that
has
to
come
out
of
that,
but
the
city
has
been
given
resources
to
deal
with
kind
of
The
New
Normal
of
kova
that
we're
dealing
with
and
resources
should
be
put
to
offering
virtual
participation
so
that
everybody
can
participate
regardless
of
any
ability
issues
they
may
have.
Thank
you.
