A
A
We're
still
experiencing
some
technical
difficulties,
so
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
go
ahead
begin
the
meeting
we
have
two
cases
we're
hearing
this
evening.
One
is
a
text
Amendment
which
shouldn't
take
us
long
to
get
through,
and
so
we're
going
to
move
that
to
the
first
part
of
the
agenda
and
then
we'll
hear
the
adjustment
for
the
plan
development
at
999
through
1015
Howard
after
that
so
ready
to
go
yep
good
evening
and
welcome
this.
Is

C
A
A

tonight
are

plnd0053,
a
major

located
at
999
through

Howard

and
the
text

B
A
A
D
A
A
Moved
by
lindwall
is

a
second.
A
From
Westerberg
any
further
discussion
hearing
none
alpstein
Mr
Patel
is
abstaining
because
he
was
not
present
there.
I
will
abstain
for
portion
portion
of
the
meeting,
so
I
will
abstain
for
the
whole
meeting,
because
I
was
not
able
to
hear
one
case
because
I
had
to
recuse
myself.
A
A
That
takes
us
to
the
first
case
that
we
have
this
evening
before
I
hand
it
over
to
Mr
Block
I'm,
going
to
ask
that
anybody
who
plans
on
speaking
to
us
tonight
on
either
this
case
or
any
other

be
sworn
at
this
time
by
raising
your
right
hand,
and
do
you
swear
or
affirm
to
tell
the
truth
throughout
the
course
of
these
proceedings.
D
B
David
black,
the
applicant
submits

major
a
major

8-0-20
in
the
B2
business
district.
The
applicant
is
requesting

determining
body
for
this
case
in
accordance
with
section
6398
of
the
Evanston
zoning
code
in
ordinance,
92021.
A
Thank
you,
Miss
Jones,
for
the
record
I
will
announce
that
I
am
abstaining
from
this,
because
I
have
been
involved
in
discussions
with
this
project
before
the
time
that
I
joined
this
commission.
This
has
been
an
ongoing
project
and
I've
advised
Mr
Block,
as
well
as
members
of
the
neighborhood
and
people
involved
with
this.
So
at
this
point,
I
will
be
handing
the
gavel
over
to
Mr
Patel,
who
will
be
acting
chair
for
hearing
this
particular
case.
H
Okay,
good
evening,
everybody
all
right,
so
the
the
case
is
right
into
the
record
applicant.
Can
you
please
state
your
name
and
address
and
present
your
case.
D
Good
evening
Commissioners,
my
name
is
David
block.
I
am
the
director
of
development
and
principal
with
Evergreen
Real
Estate
Group.
My
office
is
downtown
at
566
West
Lake
Street
in
Chicago,
but
I've
been
an
Evanston
resident.
I
live
on
Sherman
Avenue
for
about
16
years.
D
So
thank
you
for
hearing
us
this
evening.
By
the
way,
I
should
note
that
we
have
representative
from
our
architect
here:
Dominic
Hart
from
urbanworks
architecture,
and
also
our
attorney
Steve
Friedman
from
Applegate
and
Thorne
Thompson
here
tonight,
as
well.
D
D
Think
you
probably
have
a
sense
that
the
process
of
finishing
a
building
requires
a
series
of
inspections
and
reviews
by
city
of
evidence
and
staff,
so
the
building
has
gone
through
all
of
its
various
inspections
of
health
and
safety
issues,
on
behalf
of
structural
electrical
Mechanical,
plumbing
inspectors
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
the
last
stop
in
this
process.
So
we
we
got
sign
off
from
the
city
and
we
received
a
temporary
certificate
of
occupancy
for
this
building
back
in
March.
So
the
building
is
now
essentially
fully
occupied.
D
We
have
one
more
tenant
moving
in
this
week
and
we
have
our
final
60th
tenant
moving
in
next
week.
So
the
building
is,
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
100
full
with
low-income,
seniors,
62
and
up
and
I
can
talk
a
little
bit
toward
the
end
about
you
know,
sort
of
who
those
folks
are.
But
the
final
step
in
the
process
is
to
convert
a
temporary
certificate
of
occupancy
to
a
final
certificate
of
occupancy,
and
so
after
you
get
final
sign
off
from
all
of
the
various
City
health
and
safety
departments.
D
D
There
are
changes
to
the
facade
that
meets
the
standard
for
a
major
adjustment
under
the
plan,
development
ordinance,
and
so
that's
why
we're
here
this
evening,
I'd
like
to
talk
you
a
little
bit
about
the
history
of
this
building
but
I
think
before
I.
Do
that
I
wanted
to
just
show
you
some
pictures,
so
this
is
going
to
be
a
very
visual
presentation,
because,
fundamentally,
that
is
what
the
zoning
staff
in
the
City
of
Evanston
is
evaluating
visually,
whether
this
building
substantially
complies
with
the
city
of
evanston's
owning
code.
D
And
that
was
the
original
stand
over
here,
so
I
can
see
the
screen
that
was
the
original
Architects,
rendering
that
was
put
into
the
plan
development
ordinance
again
about
three
years
ago,
and
so
you
can
see
some
some
differences
and
I'll
flip
back
and
forth
a
little
bit
to
identify
the
differences.
Most
of
the
differences
do
I
have
a
laser
here.
Oh
cool,
look
at
that.
D
Most
of
the
differences
are
on
this
piece
of
the
building
which
we
call
the
bridge.
So
if
you
remember
what
this
building
was
before
and
I'll
I
have
some
images
of
that
as
well.
D
Our
partner
in
this
project
is
cje,
Senior
Life,
formerly
the
Council
on
Jewish,
elderly
and
cje
occupied,
and
will
continue
to
occupy
an
adult
day
care
facility
here
at
this
part
of
the
site
at
at
1015,
Howard
Street,
and
they
run
a
program
for
seniors
with
dementia
in
there
and
part
of
this
project
was
to
do
a
renovation
of
their
space,
and
so
they
will
be
moving
back
into
that
space
very
soon.
D
But
the
changes
that
got
made
to
the
facade
were
largely
in
this
area
of
the
bridge,
including
a
little
bit
kind
of
wrapping
around
onto
the
Western
face
of
the
building
here
and
then
in
what
we
call
the
window
box
areas.
If
you
look
at
the
the
window
boxes
that
that
we
actually
built
versus
what
you
see
in
the
rendering
here,
there
are
some
decorative
elements
that
were
not
included
and
the
real
reasons
for
that
have
to
do
with
the
most
challenging
development,
design
and
construction
environment
in
any
of
our
professional
careers.
D
We
got
approval
for
this
project
pre-covered.
We
got
approval
for
this
project
about
three
months
before
the
shutdowns,
so
the
ordinance
was
approved
in
December
of
2019
March.
Obviously
we
know
what
happened
after
that.
We
closed
on
our
financing
and
started
Construction
in
October
of
2020.,
and
so
we
fought
our
way
through
a
series
of
challenges.
Financial
challenges,
schedule
challenges
which
I'll
come
back
to
in
a
minute
in
order
to
get
this
building
complete
that
was
partially
funded
by
the
way
by
the
City
of
Evanston.
D
The
City
of
Evanston
has
two
million
dollars
in
this
building,
for
which
we
are
very
grateful,
and
this
is
a
a
home
now
for
60,
low-income
seniors
about
40
to
45
percent
of
whom
actually
lived
in
Evanston
prior
to
moving
into
this
building,
and
no
doubt
they
struggled
with
rent
escalation,
or
perhaps
they
had
a
house
that
they
could
no
longer
afford,
and
now
they
have
a
place
with
a
stable,
affordable,
rent,
a
brand
new
building
in
a
great
location,
with
a
series
of
amenities.
D
D
I'm
just
going
to
show
you
a
series
of
images
and
then
we'll
come
to
kind
of
some
of
the
the
technical
side
of
what
we
were
dealing
with.
So
in
terms
of
landscaping.
I
think
everybody
knows
that
Howard
Street
underwent
a
major
streetscape
Improvement
project
and
if
you
remember
what
was
here
before,
there
was
a
dead
Dairy
Queen
that
was
a
hot
dog
stand
for
a
while
I'm,
not
sure
what
else
was
there
and
then
there
was
a
not
unattractive
but
not
terribly
attractive.
D
Six
foot
tall,
aluminum
fence
that
wrapped
around
and
was
Secure
parking
for
CJ's
buses.
So
this
was
a
400
foot,
kind
of
Windswept
vacant,
largely
vacant
stretch
of
Howard
Street
and
today
it's
a
landscaped,
active
facade
that
contributes
to
the
overall
streetscape
Improvement
along
Howard
Street
and
by
the
way,
the
the
new
tree
grates
and
the
trees
and
the
the
paving
that
you
see
there.
That
was
a
City
of
Evanston
project
and
part
of
our
challenge.
D
Here
was
coordinating
with
not
just
City
of
Evanston,
because
Evanston
was
running
the
project,
but
the
Chicago
Department
of
Transportation
and
the
Illinois
Department
of
Transportation,
who
all
had
pieces
of
this
so
part
of
our
construction
challenge
was
we
had
two
different
construction
projects
happening
adjacent
to
this
site?
At
the
same
time,
and
again,
this
is
a
little
bit
of
an
expanded
view
as
you're
walking
down
this
street.
This
is
now
a
a
vibrant,
much
denser
much
more
pedestrian
friendly
Corridor
than
it
was
before.
D
D
Claire
Kettle
Camp,
her
firm
was
the
landscape
architect
of
record
for
this
project,
and
if,
if
you
were
a
resident
of
this
neighborhood,
you
know
this
was
kind
of
weedy
and
overgrown,
despite
CJ's
best
efforts
to
keep
it
neat
and
tidy,
and
so
now
it
is
an
area
with
growing
plants
and
really
a
kind
of
a
lovely
planted
design
with
vines
that
are
going
making
this
literally
a
green
wall
on
the
back
of
the
building.
D
This
I
I
think
is
probably
the
nicest
dumpster
enclosure
in
all
of
Evanston
I
would
maybe
argue
anywhere
in
the
Metro
Chicago
area.
This
was
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
undertaking
and
that
rolling
gate
that
you
see
there
conceals
the
dumpsters
and
the
trash
trucks
come
down,
they
open
the
gate
and
they
take
out
the
dumpsters
and
they
put
them
back
in
here
and
again.
We
wanted
to
to
do
this
to
be
good,
neighbors
and
I'll
come
back
to
the
theme
of
being
good
neighbors
repeatedly
as
I
talk
about
this
I.
D
Think
one
of
the
things
that
is
important
to
understand
here
is
there
are
pieces
of
this
project
that
are
still
not
finished.
So
this
is
one
of
them
and
it's
it's
a
little
hard
to
see
if
you
don't
know
exactly
what
you're
looking
for,
but
this
area
here
you
can
see,
there's
a
there's,
a
blue
tape
in
here,
and
this
looks
like
a
a
service
door
at
the
at
the
back
of
a
you
know:
Big
Box
store,
that's
a
temporary
facade
that
is
going
to
be
replaced.
D
D
There's
also
some
very
attractive,
decorative
elements
that
we
couldn't
finish
until
that
piece
of
the
building
is
finished
so
in
the
original
rendering
and
I'll
zoom
in
a
little
bit
so
that
you
see
this,
there
was
a
mural
by
an
evanston-based
artist
that
was
designed
to
wrap
around
from
this
face
of
the
building
around
inside
into
the
lobby
of
the
building.
D
And
then
this
is
a
an
image
of
of
the
kind
of
iconography
that
the
artist
was
going
to
be
working
with
in.
Here
again,
we
can't
finish
this
until
we
get
the
what's
called
a
storefront
system
installed
and
we
can't
get
the
storefront
installed
until
we
get
the
hardware
that
has
been
on
order
for
eight
months
in
order
to
get
this
piece
of
the
building
done.
D
So
as
part
of
our
commitment
to
the
community,
we
actually
had
the
artist
host
a
series
of
workshops
to
help
build
mosaics
and
use
little
beads
and
other
shells,
and
things
like
that
to
make
sculptural
elements.
That
will
then
be
attached
to
the
face
of
the
building
once
the
artist
is
able
to
get
in
there
and
finish
his
work.
D
So
we
had
a
series
of
workshops,
I
think
I,
think
Jenny
calero
our
project
managers
here
I
think
there
were
three
workshops
that
we
had
I
think
this
one
was
at
Robert
Crown
to
make
these,
and
we
really
had
really
good
Community
contributions
to
this
project,
which
we're
very
much
looking
forward
to
sharing
with
the
neighborhood.
But
again
we
have
to
finish
the
building.
D
The
other
thing
I
think
it's
important
to
note
is
what
we
ended
up
doing
with
the
facade
of
the
former
cje
building
and
I'll
come
back
to
a
picture
of
this,
in
fact,
I
think
yeah
there
it
is.
So
if
you
remember
this
is
what
it
looked
like
previously.
It
was
really
in
pretty
rough
shape
that
was
about
1965
Borden,
Batten
sighting
that
was
attached
to
it,
and
the
The
Architects
in
the
room
will
appreciate
this.
D
When
we
pulled
that
off,
we
realized
that
the
only
thing
behind
it
was
a
1960
cow
wall,
backup
system.
So
there's
really
nothing
holding
that
that
wall
up,
and
so
we
had
a
choice
to
make,
and
we
didn't
know
that
until
we
were
actually
able
to
open
up
the
building
and
get
in
there
and
and
start
fixing
it.
D
D
So
again,
I'm
going
to
come
back
to
sort
of
the
before
and
after
pictures
or
the
or
the
vision
and
reality
pictures,
if
you
prefer.
So
there
were
three
images
that
were
contained
in
the
plan:
development,
ordinance
and
I
think
that
is
what
the
Evanston
staff
are
referring
to
in
looking
to
make
their
final
approval.
So
this
is
what
we
actually
built:
looking
East
down,
Howard
Street
and
that's
the
rendering
foreign.
This
was
another
rendering
from
that
set,
and
this
is
looking
West
down
Howard
Street.
D
D
Well,
first
of
all
it's
a
party
wall,
it
abuts
another
property,
and
so
legally
we
can't
put
Windows
into
that
wall,
because
it
is
right
up
against
the
neighbor's
property
and
the
expectation
is
that
someday
this
little
strip
center
at
the
corner,
it's
an
important
corner
at
Ridge
and
Howard
Street
will
be
redeveloped
and
some
other
building
will
be
built
up
against
the
face
of
our
building.
So
this
is
what
the
the
rendering
showed
and
again
this
is
what
was
actually
built
today.
It's
really
hard
to
see
substantial
differences
in
those
images.
D
This
is
the
alley
view
looking
East
down
the
alley,
that's
between
Howard
and
Dobson
and
again
you
see
the
concept
of
a
fence.
You
see
the
concept
of
a
green
wall.
You
see
the
mass
of
the
building.
This
is
what
was
built
today
and
again.
Here
is
our
100
000
dumpster
screen
there
is
a.
There
is
a
deck
on
the
second
level,
that's
shared
by
residents
of
this
building
and
by
the
clients
for
cje,
and
so
we
have
an
elevator
that
allows
us
to
to
kind
of
switch
off
and
use
that
deck.
D
So
here's
one
more-
and
this
is
this-
is
what
the
alley
looked
like
before,
and
you
know
there
I
am
I'm
there
with
my
son
actually
because
we
live
about
10
minutes
away
from
here
about
two
weeks.
After
we
closed
on
the
financing,
we
got
some
concerns
or
complaints
from
the
neighbors
saying
hey.
That
alley
really
looks
like
heck.
There
are
weeds
growing
up
there
and
why
don't
you
take
care
of
it,
and
so
we
went
out
there.
Jenny
was
out
there
too,
and
we
cleaned
it
up.
D
Even
before
we
had
any
construction
Crews
on
the
site.
We
certainly
didn't
have
Property
Management
staff
on
the
site,
because
we
thought
that
was
an
obligation
that
we
had
as
Developers
so
I'm
going
to
get
a
little
bit
more
into
the
details.
Now
I
promise.
This
won't
take
long
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
project
schedule
and
the
context
that
we
were
working
in.
D
D
city
council,
approved
the
plan,
development
ordinance
on
December,
18
2019
and
then,
as
we
all
know,
March
13
2020
was
when
the
world
started
shutting
down.
It
took
us
essentially
another
seven
months
to
get
to
a
closing
from
there,
because
it
was
challenging
to
work
through
the
financial
closing
process
in
the
middle
of
covid,
but
we
did
it
and
contractually
the
original
date
that
we
had
with
our
contractor
when
they
were
supposed
to
finish.
The
building
was
October
of
2021..
D
We
actually
were
able
to
First
occupy
the
building
in
March
of
2022
and
again
as
you've.
Seen
from
the
pictures,
we're
still
not
100
done,
I'd
say
we're.
99.98
done.
We've
got
that
last
little
bit
of
entryway
that
we
need
to
finish,
but
that
is
the
the
world
that
we're
living
in
today,
our
initial
construction
budget,
and
if,
if
you've
ever
worked
on
an
affordable
housing
project,
you
know
that
these
budgets
are
fixed.
D
Lots
of
pieces
of
these
budgets
are
fixed,
including
our
fee.
We
are
paid
a
fee
by
the
project
to
do
this
project
and
so
the
original
construction
budget.
For
this
building
was
18.1
million
dollars,
assuming
that
we
used
a
hundred
percent
of
the
five
percent
contingency
that
we
set
aside
in
case
of
problems
in
the
soil
or
unforeseen
conditions,
or
so
on.
Our
final
construction
budget
was
19
million
dollars,
so
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
over
what
we
had,
including
all
of
the
contingency
already
being
in
there.
So
that
means
our
entire
fee.
D
Our
entire
fee.
After
we
started
construction
on
this
building,
is
going
back
in
to
the
construction
to
finish
the
building,
we're
not
earning
a
dime
on
the
completion
of
this
building,
but
we
have
an
obligation
to
our
investors.
We
have
an
obligation
to
the
City
of
Evanston.
D
You
know
that
the
typical
delivery
time
for
a
storefront
window
system
in
the
before
times
was
something
like
eight
to
ten
weeks,
and
that
includes
getting
the
the
hardware,
the
electronic
locks
and
things
that
you
need,
because,
typically
the
contractors
won't
just
put
it
up
on
the
site
if
they
don't
have
all
the
pieces
together,
and
so
they
have
the
storefront
sticks
and
they
have.
The
glass
they've
been
waiting
on
literally
the
electronic
locks
that
we
need
in
order
to
secure
this
building,
it's
gone
from
eight
to
ten
weeks
to
eight
to
ten
months.
D
The
typical
delivery
time
for
decorative
metal
elements
again,
including
the
hardware,
is
something
like
two
to
three
months:
that
time
frame
has
doubled
under
covid
in
some
critical
aspects
of
the
project,
and
we
didn't
run
into
this,
but
again,
timelines
now
exceed
a
year
to
get
some
pieces
of
projects
and
so
I'm
not
making
this
up.
You
can
talk
to
anybody
who
is
in
construction,
I
actually
heard
from
City
events
and
staff
that
they
ran
into
the
same
issues
on
City
construction
projects.
D
So
you
know
we
also
had
labor
shortages.
We
had
a
you
know.
Our
we
did
the
best
we
could
with
our
pandemic
preparedness
program.
We
didn't
have
any
outbreaks
on
site,
but
we
had
this
kind
of
consistent
level
of
you
know.
He
got
sick
and
he's
got
to
be
out
for
two
weeks
and
you
know
we
couldn't
get
a
full
crew
here,
and
so
it
slowed
us
down
and
the
subcontractors
were
continually
seeking
both
time
extensions
and
price
increases.
D
The
last
thing
that
I
want
to
come
back
to
is
our
communication
with
the
neighbors
on
this
project.
I
sent
out
probably
two
dozen,
maybe
more
emails
to
a
group
of
you.
Can
you
can
see
up
here?
There's
a
where'd,
my
laser
go.
D
The
lasers
died
here,
there's
a
list
of
about
70
residents
that
I
got
at
the
time
from
men,
Alderman
Rainey,
who
were
active
members
of
either
they
lived
on
Dobson
or
there
were
other
neighbors
in
the
Oakton
historic
district,
and
so
I
sent
out
lots
of
communication
to
them.
Talking
about
potential
noise
talking
about
vibration,
because
we
had
to
do
some
some
work
that
vibrated
the
neighbors,
and
so
you
know,
I
recognized
that
that
would
be
upsetting
to
them,
and
so
we
tried
to
at
least
keep
them
informed.
D
I
couldn't
always
not
have
that
the
vibrations
of
the
noise
happen,
but
at
least
I
tried
to
let
them
know
about
it
ahead
of
time
and
in
response
to
those
Communications
I
generally
got
pretty
good
feedback
from
The
Neighbors.
This
is
some
of
the
best
Communications
I
have
ever
seen
from
a
developer
to
a
neighborhood.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
member
of
the
Evanston
staff.
D
These
updates
to
the
residents
help
immensely
much
appreciated
another
staff.
Member
I
just
wanted
to
drop
you
a
note
of
thanks
for
the
details
you
are
providing
to
the
neighborhood
regarding
the
construction
project
at
999.
Howard
I
think
there
are
lots
of
residents
that
are
not
used
to
pylons
and
Foundations
work,
driving
that
are
needed
for
a
new
structure,
as
you
as
you
are
all
building
I
know
in
your
business.
D
You'll,
get
complaints
from
time
to
time,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
appreciate
the
communication
and
the
willingness
to
be
sensitive
to
the
neighborhood.
That's
one
of
the
neighbors
and
finally,
first
of
all,
I
am
glad
that
the
Evergreen
group
has
the
project
at
999,
1015
Howard.
If
I
do
say
so,
the
crew
is
doing
a
bang-up
job.
Modern
building
erection
is
quick
and
occupancy
will
be
faster
than
anyone
expected.
Thank
you
for
your
efforts
on
this
building
project.
D
It
is
a
tremendous
asset
to
our
neighborhood,
so
let
me
just
pause
there
for
one
second
and
say
that
I
think,
to
the
extent
that
there
are
any
neighbors
here
today
who
are
upset
about
this
I
did
not
send
out
an
email
in
advance
of
this.
So
the
only
notice
that
the
neighborhood
group
got
about
this
issue
was
the
notice
that
got
sent
out
from
City
staff
relating
to
this
hearing.
D
You
know
I
thought
a
lot
about
whether
or
not
I
should
do
it,
and
in
hindsight
maybe
I
should
have
sent
out
communication
on
this,
and
maybe
it
didn't
live
up
to
the
standard
that
I
I
tried
to
set
early
on
in
the
project.
So
to
the
extent
that
I
think
anything
we
did
was
maybe
a
mistake.
D
So
again,
getting
back
to
the
meat
of
this
issue
under
the
city
ordinance
6,
3,
6
12..
There
is
a
list
of
six
things
that
are
allowed
to
be
minor
adjustments
under
a
plan
development,
so
I
could
potentially
move
the
building
up
to
25
of
the
distance
shown
between
this
and
other
buildings.
Now
it's
a
zero
lot
line
project.
So
that's
irrelevant
here,
but
you
know,
I
could
move
the
building
around
on
the
site
and
get
the
staff
to
approve
it
as
a
minor
adjustment.
D
I
could
change
circulation
elements
the
entrances
to
the
building.
The
the
two
driveways
that
we
have
off
of
Howard
Street
and
that
would
be
considered
a
minor
adjustment
any
of
the
open
space
on
the
project,
any
of
the
landscape
elements
changing
the
grade
of
the
building
or
the
location
and
type
of
Utility
Equipment.
We
have
a
Transformer
off
the
alley.
It's
it's
contained
within
a
concrete
structure.
D
There
is
considered
to
be
a
major
adjustment,
so
here
we
are
today
and
I'm
asking
you
to
approve
this
adjustment,
which
I
consider
just
in
plain
language,
not
according
to
the
ordinance
language,
but
in
plain
language,
not
to
be
a
major
adjustment
to
this
project,
but
a
minor
visual
adjustment
that
we
had
to
make
in
order
to
finish
this
project
in
an
incredibly
challenging
difficult
time
for
the
entire
construction
and
development
industry
without
the
certificate
of
occupancy.
I
cannot
complete
my
process
with
my
investor,
and
this
project
will
have
immense
financial
problems
so
I.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
Block.
Any
questions
from
commissioners.
D
Made
that
decision
I
would
say
end
of
2021
and
we
didn't
actually
notify
the
city
because,
again,
at
the
time
we
considered
it
to
be
a
minor
adjustment
to
the
building.
That
was
purely
aesthetic
elements
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
function
of
the
building.
It
was
purely
decorative
and
in
our
view
it
was
consistent
with
the
original
design
that
we
had
that
we
had
shown.
G
Understood
on
that,
on
the
other
hand,
it
was
part
of
the
original
development
package
that
had
been
approved
by
the
city,
so
they
had
an
expectation
of
what
would
be
there
so
I'm
kind
of
curious
as
to
why
nobody
thought
well.
We've
had
a
difficult
run
and
I
agree
with
you.
The
schedules
and
the
delivery
and
the
labor
shortages
over
covet
have
been
terrible.
G
D
And
and
again
in
in
hindsight,
perhaps
I
should
have
done
that
we
had
inspectors
from
different
Departments
of
the
city
visiting
the
site
on
a
regular
basis
and
frankly,
I
was
worried
about
and
concerned
about
making
sure
that
my
Plumbing
didn't,
freeze
and
that's
I
could
actually
deliver
a
functioning
electrical
system
to
the
building
during
construction
and
so
again
if
it
was,
if
it
was
an
oversight.
I
take
responsibility
for
that.
But
you
know
there
are.
D
There
are
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
decisions
that
we
have
to
make
in
the
construction
of
a
building
like
this,
and-
and
this
was
part
of
that
process.
I
Thank
you
I
think
that
you
put
us
in
a
unfortunately
we're
in
a
situation
where
your.
I
Unfortunately,
you've
put
us
in
a
situation
where
what
are
we
going
to
do
the
buildings
build
and
personally
I
think
that
the
the
Aesthetics
of
this
design,
this
new
design,
are
as
good
as
the
previous
one.
That's
just
personally,
but
my
question
for
you
because
I
think
what
what
the
question
for
us
is.
I
What
do
we
do
in
the
future
to
prevent
us,
because,
even
though
I
think
that
hey
these
are
acceptable,
Alternatives,
some
developer
may
make
other
changes
that
he
fails
to
tell
the
city
that
are
not
acceptable
and
then,
and
then
he
comes
to
us.
He
or
she
comes
to
us
with
a
design
that
is,
is
not
acceptable,
but
is
built.
So
what
do
we
do
so?
My
question
to
you
is:
what
should
we
do
to
prevent
that
from
happening
again.
D
Well,
I
I.
My
view
is
that
your
code
forces
this
conversation
right
and
so
I
guess.
My
response
back
to
you
is
that
you
all
have
an
obligation
to
evaluate
whether
the
story
that
I
am
telling
or
the
story
that
any
other
developer
who
comes
before
you
with
a
similar
set
of
circumstances,
makes
sense
right
and
so
whether
we
in
the
course
of
building
an
affordable
housing
building,
had
to
make
some
sacrifices
during
a
time
of
massive
social
disruption,
whether
that
rises
to
the
standard
of
allowing
exceptions.
D
And
if
somebody
comes
before
you
with
a
similar
story,
because
I'll
tell
you
right
now
we
have
written
into
our
construction
contracts
for
all
of
the
new
projects,
so
my
contract,
with
a
contractor
that
we
didn't
have
in
this
project
because
it
was
still
pretty
new,
a
clause
that
says
covet
is
no
excuse
right,
and
so
we
know
about
supply
chain
disruptions,
and
so
that
is
part
of
the
part
of
the
challenge.
Now
that's
out
there
in
the
world,
but
at
the
time
we
were
working
on
this.
It
was
still
too
new.
D
So
I
think
that
again
it's
it's
up
to
you
to
determine
whether
other
developers
do
this
and
I
I
would
argue
that
that
we
did
this
in
good
faith,
did
we
communicate
as
as
fully
and
and
proactively
as
we
could
have?
Maybe
not,
but
we
made
these
changes
in
good
faith.
So
we
could
finish
this
building
and
I.
Think
that's
the
that's
the
test
did
the
did
other
projects
make
changes
in
good
faith
to
deliver
a
building
that
is
appropriate
for
the
public
realm
in
Evanston,
but.
I
The
issue
is
communication.
That
is
the
issue
and
again
back
to
my
example.
If,
if
there
is
no
communication
and
yet
the
the
the
solution
was
not
made
in
good
faith,
what
do
we
do?
I
mean
we,
this
is
a
I
I,
don't
know
in
the
future.
If
this
happens
again,
what
or
how
do
we
prevent
this
from
happening
again?
That's
the
issue.
I
I,
I,
I,
really
don't
know.
I'm
I'm,
not
sure
I
mean
I.
I
What's
that
going
to
do,
maybe
there
should
be
an
interim
review,
maybe
I
mean
I,
don't
know,
I
mean
I
personally,
think
that
I
I
don't
understand
those
standards
because
they
don't
specifically
call
out
facade
but
I.
Remember
this
project
very
distinctly
when
you
came
in
and
the
conversation
about
this
Assad
facade
was
a
big
one,
it
was
it
was,
and
everyone
was
so
happy
with
it,
and
you
know
all
that
so
I
don't
know:
I
I,
I'm,
I'm,
just
I'm
looking
to
everyone
here
for
suggestions,
I.
H
Know
I
know
later
in
our
proceeding
we're
expecting
a
motion
to
try
to
study
the
language
around
these
Minor
Adjustments
to
hopefully
capture
this
a
little
better.
Just
as
an
FYI
I
have
a
question
just
to
clarify
on
the
wood
paneling
that
you
for
forego.
H
Was
it
an
issue
of
lead
times
ant
or
Price,
or
both
can
you
Claire?
Can
you
clarify
that
both.
D
Both
we
were
hearing,
it
was
six
to
eight
months
to
get
the
materials
we
needed,
and
it
was
about
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
build
that
those
facade
elements
and
again
we
were
already
a
million
dollars
close
to
a
million
dollars
over
where
we
were
with
our
contingency
already
spent.
H
And
did
you
consider
waiting
in
order
to
go
back
and
complete
it
later,
because
I,
don't
I'm,
not
sure
the
external
aesthetic
paneling
did
that
without
would
waiting
on
that
would
have
held
up
occupancy?
Well.
D
So
and
and
that's
an
issue
and
a
question
and
the
way
these
projects
work
is
we
have
an
investor
in
this
project?
Who
is
a
bank,
and
one
of
the
very
specific
requirements
from
that
bank
is
I
need
a
final
certificate
of
occupancy
from
the
city
and
if
there
is
a
condition
attached
to
that
final
certificate
of
occupancy
like
building
these
panels
later,
for
example,
they
will
require
us
to
put
up
that
money
and
we
have
no
more
money
to
put
up
at
this
point.
D
We've
spent
all
of
our
fee
on
this
project.
In
order
to
do
this,
and
so
they
won't,
they
won't
essentially
close
out
this
project
and
it
puts
the
whole
project
frankly
at
risk
of
litigation.
In
order
to
do
that,
and
so
that's
what
we
were
most
concerned
about.
J
J
D
J
K
Now,
if
I
can
chime
in
as
an
architect,
I
understand
your
position
and
basically
just
so
everybody
else
can
understand
it
as
well.
It's
like,
if
you
are
going
to
build
your
house
and
you
decide
to
put
up
siding
and
that's
what
you
showed
on
your
drawings
and
you
went
with
wood
siding
at
the
end
of
the
day.
K
They
didn't
have
the
wood
siding
that
you
were
looking
for.
So
now
you
put
in
vinyl
siding.
Would
that
change
the
look?
Would
that
change
the
structure?
Would
that
change?
But
if
you
can't
finish
up
with
your
now,
vinyl
siding
and
you
can't
close
up
your
windows
and
seal
them
and
have
protection
against
the
elements.
Then
it's
just
a
decorative
feature.
H
Any
further
questions
from
commissioners:
okay,
hearing
no
further
questions
from
us,
we'll
now
move
on
to
public
comment:
I
have
a
list
here:
I'm,
not
I,
assume
everybody
who
signed
up
here
is
signed
up
to
speak
on
this
case.
If
I
read
your
name
and
I'm
wrong,
just
let
me
know.
H
L
Stephen

in
Chicago
right
across
the
street,
from
the
development
site.
Actually,
when
I
signed
that
paper,
I
didn't
realize,
I
was
signing
to
speak,
but
since
I
do
have
the
opportunity
just
like
to
ask
a
question:
I
do
look
at
every
day,
I
compared
it
to
the
original
elevation.
I
think
the
original
elevation
is
far
more
attractive.
I
understand
the
problems.
I
understand
why
the
developer
made
the
choices
that
he
did.
H
Thank
you
Dan
and
Ann
van
halkland,
also
passing
okay.
E
E
E
The
thrust
of
the
facade
was
that
it
was
to
be
a
living
green
facade
to
celebrate
their
partnership
with
the
center
for
the
Jewish
elderly,
so
I
from
that
standpoint,
I
know
that
early
on
in
the
process,
people
weren't
maybe
as
enamored
with
the
precast
concrete
panels
but
they're
the
perfect
vehicle
to
support
these
Vines
and
the
project
was
planted
in
early
June
and
we've
got
coverage.
Many
of
the
vines
are
reaching
the
wall
in
the
alley.
So
I
don't
know
of
any
developer.
E
Also,
that
has
ever
asked
us
to
take
as
much
care
on
the
Alley
facade
with
a
landscape
project
as
they
do
on
the
front
facade
of
a
building.
So
as
a
been
a
factor
of
this
project,
It's
a
Wonderful
buffer
from
us,
our
neighborhood
and
Howard
Street
and
the
team
has
been
wonderful
to
work
with
and
I
think
they've
been
very
conscientious
and
I'm
I'm
still.
This
is
a
hiccup
in
our
ordinance
and
I
hope
that
it
gets
worked
out
and
the
project
gets
approved.
M
I
want
to
speak
to
the
issue
of
this
happening
again.
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
happen
again,
because
one
of
the
points
that
staff
makes
is
this
shouldn't
have
happened
this
time
and
that
I
think
the
effort
is
going
to
be
made
is
to
speak
to
the
council
and
talk
about
why
this
kind
of
a
change
should
be
a
minor
adjustment
and
not
a
major
adjustment,
and
therefore
it
probably
will
never
happen
again.
M
M
They
had
no
idea
about
this
meeting
and
asking
them
and
they
don't
live
in
the
neighborhood
asking
them
what
they
think
about
the
building
and
the
the
sense
that
I
got
from
them
is
that
it
was
bright
and
shiny
that
it
was
very
industrial,
which
is
the
kind
of
architecture
that
they
like,
that
it
seemed
very
modern
and
that
it
was
kind
of
thing
that
they
would
like
to
see
on
Howard
Street
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
many
people
reference
the
ugly
shopping
center
on
the
corner
and
hoped
that
it
would
be
renovated
in
response
to
this
building
and
they
they
loved
it,
and
it
is,
it
is
a
new
and
exciting
thing,
so
I
don't
actually
think
design
is
necessarily
a
land
use
issue
and
no
land
use
issue
really
is
is
an
issue
here:
I
mean
they
didn't
make
it
taller,
they
didn't
make
it
it's
not
a
different
building,
it's
exactly
the
same
building,
and
you
know
we
all
know
that
design
is
really
a
taste
matter,
and
so
I
really
hope
that
you
will
approve
the
the
adjustment.
H
Thank
you.
Let
me
heard
about
this
Lewis
Huey.
N
No,
my
apologies
for
my
handwriting
Lois
Hedman
I
live
at
1100,
Dobson
and
I'm
really
glad
I
came
tonight,
because
I
learned
a
lot
and
I
wish
I
had
known
that
before.
So
it
speaks
to
the
communication,
because
you
know
you
get
something
in
the
mail
and
it
talks
about
a
major
adjustment,
and
you
know
you
get
concerned
because
I'm
almost
directly
behind
this
development,
so
I
think
communication
with
the
the
neighborhood
given
the
level
that
it
had
been
at
this.
Would
you
know
this
was
a
real
break
in
that
communication?
N
It
was
a
change
and
it
was.
It
was
upsetting
to
to
to
get
this
because,
quite
frankly,
I
kind
of
agree
that
if
you
could
move
the
building
25
feet
and
that's
not
major,
but
but
this
is
that
kind
of
doesn't
make
sense
from
you
know
the
city
standpoint,
but
again,
I
think
communication
would
have
been,
would
have
just
I
wouldn't
be
here
if
we'd
gotten
that
communication.
N
I'm
glad
that
people
are
are
moving
in
I
think
that
what
they
did
with
the
original
cje
building,
because
we
just
took
a
walk
by
and
were
able
to
look
at
it
very
closely
and
I,
really
really
like
what
they
did
there
and
again
personal
opinion,
but
the
those
yellow
window
boxes
just
I
saw
those
when
they
first
went
up
and
I
kept
waiting
for
them
to
get
finished
and
I
realize
it's
a
matter
of
taste
but
I've
lived
in
this
neighborhood
for
30
years
and
I
get
defensive
about
how
Howard
Street
is
treated
by
the
City
by
standards.
N
It's
like
that's
Howard,
Street,
whatever
it's
okay,
it
doesn't
need
to
be
at
at
a
high
standard.
So
so
I
I
come
from
with
a
biased,
Viewpoint
I'll
I'll
admit
that.
But
you
know
the
people
that
are
living
there.
They
deserve
a
really
nice.
Looking
building.
I
love
the
the
the
the
growing
elements
of
the
the
facade
I
did
know
about
the
alley
ones,
but
that
just
sounds
wonderful
and
I
I
also
worry
about.
Will
the
plants
survive?
N
You
know
because
they
look
great
now
they're
growing
now,
but
but
are
there
funds
and
people
who
will
be
able
to
care
for
them
to
keep
them
thriving
so
that
will
remain
a
really
great
element
to
the
to
the
building.
So
I
was
also
wondering
about
you
know:
could
there
be
a
a
delay
and
you
know
maybe
do
something
but
I'm
after
hearing
the
presentation,
I
realize
that's
not
really
feasible.
Like
I
said,
I'm
I'm
understand
the
the
problems
with
covid,
with
all
the
delays
with
all
of
that
and
the
cost
overruns.
N
You
know
that
seems
entirely
consistent
with
much
of
what
all
of
us
have
been
dealing
with.
So
I
do
appreciate
that
and
so
I
you
know
I,
don't
really
have
standing
to
say
turn
this
down.
You
know
it's
it's
the
worst
thing
in
the
world,
so
I
think
I'm
more
in
in
some
ways
talking
to
to
the
the
city
to
say
you
know,
make
sure
stuff
can't
get
through
that
that
you
know
shouldn't,
because
some
things
that
happen
in
Evanston
I
just
look
at
and
like
yikes.
N
How
did
that
get
built?
And
so
I
guess
more
of
my
concern
is,
is
directed
toward
towards
you
so
anyway.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
Hi
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
all
for
for
for
this
hearing.
Thank
you
for
the
great
presentation
you
know.
I've
had
a
lot
of
residents
reach
out
with
with
some
concerns
and
I
think
that
a
lot
of
those
concerns
will
be
addressed
when
folks
get
an
opportunity
to
see
the
presentation
here
so
I'm
really
again
thankful
to
to
David.
For
that
presentation.
I
have
a
an
answer
to
your
question.
O
O
I
I'm
fine
moving
forward
here
and
and
I
think
a
number
of
the
community
members
will
be,
but
particularly
when
the
city
invests
millions
of
dollars
into
a
project,
I
believe
that
what
you
promised
is
is
what
you
need
to
provide,
or
you
need
to
be
very
careful
about
what
promises
you're
making
up
front
and
make
sure
that
you
have
the
ability
to
deliver.
O
I
will
say
that
you
know
I've
had
the
opportunity
I
ride
my
bike
past
the
building
you
know
the
building
is
beautiful.
I'm
really
excited
that
the
artist
poloto
is
the
gentleman's
name
who
I'm
working
with
another
project
in
poloto
is
working
on
the
mural
and
really
excited
to
see
that
really
excited
to
see
the
doorway
done.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
to
briefly
speak
with
neighbors
or
with
with
folks
who
live
in
the
building
as
I'm
riding
past
or
walking.
O
Past
I've
seen
the
beautiful
alley
really
excited
about
this.
Looking
forward
to
to
this
moving
forward,
but
to
to
I
really
think
in
the
grand
scheme,
we
should
be
really
having
a
conversation
about
how
to
ensure
that
this
doesn't
happen
in
the
future
and
I.
Think
in
the
minutes
here,
if
this
does
pass,
it
should
be
very
clear.
O
So
if
another
developer
comes
back
and
is
looking
at
this-
that
they
don't
think
that
they
can
get
away
with
with
promising
us
one
thing
and
and
not
delivering
on
that
and
I
think
it
should
be
very
clear
if
this
moves
forward
that
it's
based
on
this
particular
case,
based
on
the
fact
that
you
know
this
is
a
non-profit
developer,
based
on
the
fact
that
this
is
senior
housing
and
based
on
the
fact
that
this
committee,
if
it
so
chooses,
sees
this
as
not
a
major
deviation
from
what
was
planned
and
you
know,
I
think
it's
it's
relevant
to
include
the
information
regarding
the
impacts
of
covid
because
hopefully
we're
not
going
to
experience
another
pandemic
pandemic
in
the
next
few
years.
O
That
has
the
supply
chain
disruptions
that
have
occurred
with
this
project.
So
thank
you
all
for
the
time.
Thank.
H
You
Sue
lolabach.
P
Good
evening
everybody
I'm
Sue
lollbach
with
connections
for
the
homeless
and
to
speak
to
the
the
zoning
issue.
P
I
think
it
is
a
little
bit
weird
that
the
zoning,
the
the
standards
sort
of
say:
okay,
these
seven
five
or
seven
things
are
minor
variations
and
everything
else
is
Major.
It
almost
seems
like
that
should
be
flipped
yeah.
What
are
the
major
ones
that
you
have
to
come
to
us
for
everything
else?
P
You
know
go
for
it.
Our
feeling
is
that
the
zoning
code
really
needs
to
allow
flexibility,
particularly
right
now,
to
allow
people
to
build
affordably-
and
you
know
in
terms
of
this
specific
development,
I'd
say,
given
that
almost
everything
else
stopped
during
the
pandemic.
It
is
pretty
amazing
that
this
apartment
building
got
built
and
now
that
things
may
be
stabilizing
with
the
pandemic,
it's
it's
wonderful
that
this
building
is
ready
because
things
have
not
stabilized
with
housing
costs.
P
So
that
means
that
the
Anne
Rainey
apartments
and
others
like
them
are
more
urgently
needed
in
our
community
than
ever,
and
if
zoning
and
Zone
decisions
at
bodies
like
this
can
support
that
that's
really
important.
We
would
like
to
see
the
city
support
these
final
steps
for
the
project
as
flexibly,
expeditiously
and
economically
as
possible.
This
is
a
mission-driven
project
and
we
ask
the
city
to
allow
Evergreen
to
wrap
this
up
without
further
expense,
so
they
can
move
on
to
creating
more
affordable
housing
throughout
the
region.
P
P
She
was
very
impressed
on
the
beautiful
and
cheerful
facade
and
she
is
hoping
that
the
city
won't
do
anything
to
cuss
this
developer
more
money
when
the
new
residents
will
look
forward
to
coming
home
to
a
cheerful
home.
This
developers
worked
hard
to
make
sure
this
development
is
Affordable
for
everyone.
Why
cost
him
more
money
for
something
that
does
not
need
to
be
changed?
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
wakay
Brenna.
Forgive
me.
Q
Warren
Brenner
there
we
go
yes,
hi
I'm
living
at
Anne,
Rainey
I
thank
God
every
day
for
being,
there
are
needed
financially
and
on
top
of
it,
it's
brand
new,
so
I
consider
myself
very
lucky
and
also
because
this
is
something
will
happen
in
the
future.
With
the
corner
strip
mall,
the
only
problem
I
have
with
it
is
I
have
to
keep
my
windows.
I
have
for
Northern,
Exposure
and
I
have
to
keep
my
windows
closed
all
day
because
of
the
terrible
stink
that
comes
from
the
restaurants
from
the
Friars.
Q
So
if
that's
going
to
be
gone,
I
think
you
know
they're
really
they're
not
going
to
do
it
to
put
on
McDonald's
or
Wendy's
in
in
the
whole
corner,
so
other
than
that
I'm
glad
I
came
and
thank
you
for
the
hearing
and
I
wish
the
best
for
the
developer,
also,
which
you
know
and
also
I've
cruised.
The
alley
I've
checked
out,
scoped
the
whole
place
out
and
it
looks
fantastic.
It's
everything
they
did
there
and
I've
worked
that
hundred
thousand
dollar
thing.
H
You,
okay,
that's
the
end
of
public
comment.
I
want
to
ask
staff:
do
you
have
anything
to
say
or
present.
C
You
know
the
proposals
been
provided
by
the
applicant
here
tonight,
so
you
have
a
full
understanding
of
what
they're
requesting
you
know.
From
our
perspective,
we
understand
the
challenges
that
they've
encountered
during
the
process
and
you
know
we're
supportive
of
their
request
moving
forward.
We
also
recognize
that
the
code
on
major
and
minor
variations
you
know,
does
present
some
challenges
so
open
to
feedback
or
looking
at
that
in
the
future,
so
again
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
them.
C
I
think
our
memo
you
know
does
say
that
we
understand
that
our
code,
you
know,
is,
is
very
limiting
anything.
That's
not
listed
shall
be
considered
a
major
Amendment
and
that's
you
know
a
shall
is
is
a
pretty
strong
word
and
when
it
comes
to
zoning,
so
there
are
six
elements
that
are,
you
know
listed
there
as
minor
amendments.
C
H
You
said
in
your
memo,
however:
the
building
elevations
as
constructed
do
not
substantially
comply
with
the
approved
building
elevations,
particularly
particularly
the
facade.
Do
you
are
there
any?
Is
there
anything
other
than
the
facade
that
you
feel
is
in
this
category,
in
particular,
is
part
of
this
major
adjustment
that
you
have
to
Define
it
as
such,
or
is
it
really
just
the
facade.
C
D
No
only
again
thank
you
for
the
the
opportunity
to
come
chat
and
I
appreciate,
in
particular,
Alderman
Reed
being
here
tonight
and
Lois
Hedman
being
here
tonight,
I
extended
an
offer
to
Alderman
Reed
to
take
a
tour
of
the
building
and
I
extend
that
same
offer.
To
you
know
the
neighbors
who
may
not
have
seen
inside
it's
really
pretty
beautiful
inside
the
units
are
bright
and
sunny
with
high
ceilings
and
a
lot
of
light.
D
So
again,
the
lesson
that
I
take
away
from
this
is
that
if
I
start
with
a
high
standard
of
communication
on
a
project,
I
need
to
continue
that
and
not
let
whatever
is
worrying
me
about
a
project
get
in
the
way
of
of
maintaining
that
good
communication
with
the
neighborhood.
So
again
my
regrets
and
apologies
on
that
and
I
I
think
there's
a
just
a
process
lesson
in
here
for
me.
So.
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
have
no
problem
with
the
revised
projects
and
I
know,
I,
know,
Evergreen
and
I
know
they
do
they
do
they
do
great
projects,
and
so-
and
this
one
is
one
of
those
I
believe
I-
want
to
comment
on
Alderman
rainey's
comment
that
we
don't
Aesthetics
are
not
our
purview.
That
is
true,
but
what
is
our
purview
is
ensuring
that
what
the
developer
says
he
or
she
is
going
to
do
that.
I
That
is
done,
and
that's
what
we're
talking
about
here
and
that's
what
I
think
when
we
talk
about
the
future?
That's
that's
what
we
need
to
focus
on,
and
the
last
thing
was
someone
made
the
comment
about.
You
know
the
fact
that
that
our
standards
list
the
my
the
minor
comments
and
then
everything
else
is
Major
I.
That
is
to
me
the
absolute
reverse
of
what
what
it
should
be,
and
it
should
be
very
specific
too,
because
you
don't
want
to
get
into
these
arguments.
J
J
Sorry
about
that,
okay,
good,
okay,
so
I
will
go
with
what
commissioner
helic
said:
I'm,
okay
with
the
project
and
with
the
changes.
So
that's
a
yes,
but
I
would
comment
on
two
things.
First,
this
link
should
not
happen
if,
along
the
way
of
revision
to
a
project,
the
revisions
were
approved
or
disapproved
or
put
in
front
of
us
during
the
process,
so
that
we
can
have
some
vote
really
on
what
could
be
done
on
this
building
this.
Currently
it's
a
done
deal.
J
The
second
thing,
as
somebody
mentioned,
if
there
are
funds
in
the
future
for
bringing
the
facade
a
little
bit
better
to
what
it
was
suggested,
the
first
time
personally
I
like
the
first
rendering
better,
but
that's
my
opinion
and
I-
will
leave
to
the
architect
of
the
project
to
follow
up.
If
there
are
any
possible
changes
for
the
facade.
G
G
Whatever
issues
we
have
with
the
way
the
code
list
major
or
minor
variations,
it
was
very
clear
that
there
were
documents
that
spelled
out
and
showed
what
that
elevation
should
be
like
I
can
understand
all
the
problems
with
covid
with
conditions
with
labor
shortages,
but
those
things
happen
all
the
time,
also
with
construction
projects
in
general
and
my
concern
and
my
recommendation
to
the
city
is
that
we
we
look
at
ways
to
hold
developers
accountable
for
delivering
what
has
been
said
and
so
that
we
don't
run
into
this
and
I.
G
Don't
think
this
is
a
problem
with
the
code
or
the
city
and
I
think
the
applicant
has
already
addressed
this.
This
was
a
major
lapse
in
communication
and
no
one
is
suggesting
that
we
do
something
to
the
project,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
that
accountability
be
carried
through
for
every
developer,
that
works
in
the
city
on
every
project
or
will
will
have
some
issues
in
the
future.
F
I'll
I
guess
I'll
go
next
again.
I
I,
think
that
you
know
this
project
at
this
point
is
substantially
complete,
so
I
think
going
back
and-
and
you
know
somehow
punishing
the
developer
is
not
going
to
be.
You
know
effective
or
desirable,
especially
when
we're
building
affordable
housing.
However,
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
Aesthetics
and
the
design
of
a
building-
and,
what's
you
know
what's
approved,
is
really
important
and
you
know
we
have
planned
developments
all
the
time
that
show
you
know
building
so
many
stories.
You
know
certain
kinds
of
materials.
F
We
have
plan
development,
design,
guidelines
that
talk
about
what
is
and
isn't
acceptable
and
they
are
guidelines,
but
I
think
that
it's
really
important
that
we
make
sure
that
you
know.
Maybe
we
need
to
have
interim
inspections
by
the
Zoning
for
folks
or,
if
not
inspections,
at
least
interim
meetings.
Where
the
you
know
the
developer
meets
with
staff
to
say:
hey
we
had
you
know.
Issues
with
you
know
well
covet
is
a
prime
example.
I
mean
you've.
F
You
know
the
supply
chain
issues,
the
getting
materials
and
just
the
cost
of
the
materials.
But
it's
it's
important
to
keep
the
city
in.
You
know
informed
as
to
what's
going
on,
so
that
if
adjustments
have
to
be
made,
there
can
be
a
public
process
where
you
know
things
are,
are
worked
out
and
and
I
and
I.
Don't
think
that
facade
materials
should
necessarily
be
a
minor
adjustment.
F
I
mean
I
think
that
that
the
Aesthetics
of
buildings
are
really
important
and
that's
kind
of
I
mean
that's
one
of
the
reasons
you
know
years
ago
that
that
you
know
some
of
the
larger
projects
were
required
to
be
planned
development
so
that
there
weren't
surprises
with
respect
to
what
developments
looked
like,
because,
as
I
think
we
all
know
in
town
there's
some
things,
you're
wondering
how
in
the
world
did
that
get
built,
and
in
many
cases
it
was
because
it
complied
with
the
zoning.
So
there
was
you
know,
no
one
could
say
no.
F
This
is
not
appropriate,
so
you
know
again
I
think
in
this
particular
instance,
I
will
support
the
the
major
adjustment,
but
I
think
that
we
really
ought
to
be
very
careful
about
making
changes
to
the
zoning
and
I
think
that
trying
to
come
up
with
some
sort
of,
inter
you
know,
maybe
in
each
plan
development
approval.
Maybe
there
needs
to
be
a
clause
or
a
condition
saying
that
you
know
just
making
it
very
clear
that
changes
to
the
facade
have
to
be.
F
You
know
brought
to
the
city
for
approval,
you
know,
even
if
it's
staff
approval,
they
can
say
no.
This
is
not
anything
close
to
what
you
you
know
what
your
plan
development
agreed
to
so
I,
don't
know
that
it
necessarily
needs
to
come
to
back
to
the
land,
use
commission
or
the
city
council
every
time,
but
there's
there
needs
to
be
built
in
interim
steps
so
that
this
doesn't
or
is
less
likely
to
happen
again.
R
I
also
like
to
share
some
of
the
views
that
made
in
terms
of
the
great
project
I
will
vote
Yes
and
support
it.
I
am
scratching
my
head
a
bit
from
the
developer's
perspective
that
if
the
code
is
as
clear
as
it
is,
and
if
it's
not
one
of
these
six,
it's
a
major
and
it
wasn't
one
of
the
six
on
one
of
the
basis
on
which
there's
a
feeling.
R
This
was
actually
a
minor
and
it
may
be
from
an
architectural
perspective,
maybe
from
a
developer
construction
perspective,
but
from
perspective
of
the
code,
it
was
pretty
straightforward.
It's
a
major.
It's
a
major
change,
so
I
mean
given
how
well
organized
you
are
and
I'm
a
bit
surprised
that
that
one
kind
of
fell
through
the
crack
since,
on
its
face
it's
the
major.
R
It's
a
major
adjustment
and
I
completely
agree
with
the
fact
that
we
need
some
sort
of
interim
process
here,
because
right
now
we're
faced
with
the
fate
of
complete
and
and
and
that's
where
we
don't
want
to
be
in
a
position
where
there's
really
not.
You
know
buildings,
you
know
being
occupied
without
a
final
certificate.
The
you
know
the
investor
goes
ballistic
and,
and
so,
as
we
think
through
this
process,
I'm
not
sure
we
actually
have
to
change
the
code.
R
S
I
do
also
intend
to
to
vote
Yes
for
this
I.
Just
you
know,
hearing
I
am
sympathetic
to
the
challenges
of
cost
financing
supply
chain,
labor
delays
for
this
project
for
the
pandemic,
but
there
are
challenges
that
the
cost,
labor,
financing,
delays,
supply
chain
for
all
projects
and
and
the
pandemic
was
an
extraordinary
situation.
But
that's
it's.
S
You
know
we
part
of
our
charge
is
to
have
a
responsibility
to
hold
the
developers
accountable
for
these
plan
unit
developments.
So
that's
why
but
the
building's
built
it
seems
to
satisfy
you
know
it
seems
that
the
community
is
happy
happy
with
it.
They
would
have
been
more
happy
with
it
as
if
it
was
realized
in
the
way
that
it
was
proposed.
S
K
I
also
intend
to
vote
Yes
once
again.
Maybe
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
are
not
familiar
with
how
the
permitting
process
goes.
When
somebody
comes
out
to
a
zoning
meeting
or
land
use
meeting,
that's
the
conceptual
they're
the
beginning
of
an
actual
project.
It's
not
the
final
final
project.
K
Once
you
take
it
from
the
concept
that
was
presented
in
zoning
or
here
at
the
land
use,
then
it
goes
through
the
actual,
permitting
process
construction
process.
So
you
have
to
go
through
making
sure
that
the
life
safety,
structural,
Electrical
Plumbing
everything
else
has
to
be
taken
into
account.
You
submit
your
permit
drawings
to
the
city.
The
city
has
approved
them
at
that
time.
If
there
were
any
changes
to
the
actual
structure,
if
there
was
movement
of
window,
you
know
entries
to
the
to.
K
We
said
it
was
going
to
be
on
the
left
hand,
side
or
on
the
west
side.
Now
it's
on
the
east
side.
Those
would
be
major
changes
to
a
project,
the
final
color
of
the
project
that
should
not-
and
it
actually
should
not
be
represented,
because
that's
still,
once
again,
it's
it's
visual.
K
Unless
you're,
you
know
changing
it
to
be
to,
and
that's
that's
a
simple
solution,
because
then
you
talk
directly
to
your
developer
and
say:
hey
whoa,
stop
you
know,
I,
don't
want
it
beaten
painted
purple
with
with
butterflies,
that's
not
what
we
agreed
upon,
but
if
I
can
get
a
solid
color,
you
know
we're
going
to
be
okay
with
it.
I
Just
a
I
I
think
if
David
were
allowed
to
step
up
here,
he
would
say
that
they
I
would
guess
that
they
submitted
the
original
design
for
a
building.
Permit,
correct,
okay,
okay,
I
I
think
because
they,
because
the
issue
is
what
happens
after
that.
That's
not
you
know.
It's
and
I
I
suspect
that
you
know
when
a
project
goes
through
construction
and
I
know
the
process
it
it
it.
Your
pricing
comes
in
and
all
kinds
of
things
and
you
deal
with
deliveries
and
all
of
those
things
which
is
what
is
cause.
I
This
sounds
like,
and
there
isn't
there
isn't
any
mechanism
or
regular
communication
after
building
permit.
That
seems
to
be
the
the
issue
for
me.
K
But
there
never
is
in
any
project.
If
you,
if
you
want
to
build
your
house,
you
will
get
a
design.
You
will
get
a
drawing
from
your
architect
and
say
this.
This
is
the
concept.
This
is
what
you
wanted
and
then
you
basically
go
in
you
put
all
your
stuff
in
for
permitting
you
go
through
the
process
of
Permitting,
then
you
go
through
the
process
of
bidding
yeah.
K
C
C
Actually,
we
review
what
was
approved
as
part
of
the
plan
development
review
process
through
land
use,
commission
and
the
city
council.
So
we
and
we
take
a
look
and
make
sure
number
one
that
they're
still
meeting
code
requirements
for
their
site.
You
know
design
and
then
we
have
to
review
it
for
substantial
compliance
with
the
original
approval
through
city
council
and
you
all.
C
H
Okay,
my
comment
I'm
in
favor
of
granting
the
adjustment
I
also
work
in
construction
and
I
can
also
confirm
that
lead
times.
Price
fluctuations,
in
particular
with
wood
products,
have
been
highly
volatile
during
the
pandemic.
I
also
have
no
reason
to
believe
the
developer
has
not
acted
in
good
faith
and
I.
Think
that
the
change
to
the
facade
is
one
it's
not
egregious,
and
if
anything,
it
also
increases
the
total
amount
of
window
area,
which
one
could
consider
to
be
a
good
thing
so
I'm
in
favor.
H
H
So
there's
a
wide
variety
of
sets
of
standards
and,
in
this
case
I
don't
believe
anyone
is
actually
saying
that
any
standard
is
not
met,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
every
single
one.
Unless
anyone
wants
to
argue
that
something
up
here
that
we're
showing
isn't
met
can
we
go
through.
Those
are
just
kind
of
slowly
present
them.
B
Yes,
so
I've
got
each
of
the
the
code
sections
where
there
are
standards
you
can
point
out
which
of
those
standards
you
think
actually
apply
and
discuss
that
and
we
can
go
through
each
of
the
ones.
Well,.
H
These
are,
these
are
publicly
available
and
they're
listed
out
in
the
packet.
Yes,
my
point
is
that
I
don't
think
we
need
to
go
through
each
one
individually,
because
no
one
is
arguing
that
any
of
these
is
not
met.
We're
here
for
a
different,
different
procedural
purpose.
I
I
move
that
we
accept
the
applicants
revised
design
as
presented.
H
Okay
Megan,
can
you
call
the.
G
We
have
to
wait
for
can.
I
O
I
B
Yeah
everything
that
was
discussed
will
absolutely
be
a
part
of
the
minutes
and
there's
been
internal
discussion
about
the
process
as
well.
So
this
is
something
that
is
absolutely
going
to
be
like
looked
at.
B
H
Now
that
we're
back
at
full
strength-
Let's,
oh,
let's
repeat
the
motion
for
you,
so
you
can
hear
it.
H
Okay,
can
we
call
the
roll
now.
G
B
H
Yes,
all
right,
I
think
that
passes.
Congratulations
and
City
staff
will
follow
up
for
next
steps.
With
that,
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
case
and
oh
well,.
A
I
hear
commissioner
Patel
for
acting
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
case.
I've
been
in
discussions
with
staff
about
what
to
do
moving
forward.
I'm
sorry
I
couldn't
participate
in
that
conversation,
but
since
I
had
recused
myself,
I
was
not
able
to
address
the
board
at
that
particular
time.
A
A
Looking
at
when
we
Grant
site
allowances
for
plan
developments,
my
recommendation
would
be
that
we
look
at
using
those
as
our
standards
for
major
and
everything
outside
of
that
be
a
minor
which
be
addressed
through
the
following
process
of
having
staff
review
it
and
then
forwarding
that
on
to
planning
and
development
and
city
council
for
final
approval.
So
there
will
be
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
have
input,
but
it
won't
come
before
this
board,
but
it
would
be
addressed
at
the
city,
council
and
city
council
committee
level.
A
G
Sure
Rogers
I
do
have
a
question.
Are
you
suggesting
that
the
are
you
recommending
that
the
any
change
in
the
code
as
to
what
is
major
or
minor
not
come
in
front
of
this
committee,
but
or
this
commission,
but
go
to
the
city
council?
Is
that
correct
so.
A
The
actual
change
in
the
ordinance
would
follow
the
usual
procedure
where
we
would
have.
We
would
conduct
the
hearing
on
whether
this
is
the
zoning
change
all
right
change
to
the
zoning
ordinance.
That
is
appropriate
and
we
would
have
discussion
on
that
with
input
from
staff
as
well
as
input
from
any
citizens
developers.
Anybody
else
who
wants
to
come
and
address
the
board
at
that
particular
time.
A
G
F
Okay,
well,
I
think
that
having
staff
come
back
and
doing
the
public
hearing
is
you
know
I'm
supportive
of
that?
However,
I
think
it's
really
important
that
significant
changes
to
the
facade
and
the
you
know
even
the
materials
you
know
there
should
be
some
discussion
about
whether
or
not
that
actually
really
is
a
a
major.
Very
you
know,
that's
something
that
should
be
addressed.
The.
A
One
thing
that
that
we
are
granted
like
any
major
variation
that
is
issued
can
be
appealed
to
this
board
right,
so
I
would
I
would
trust
staff
to
use
their
best
judgment
in
terms
of
of
whether
things
should
be
moved
forward
denied
and
brought
before
this
board
or
not.
But.
F
The
side,
yeah,
okay,
I
I,
just
think
that,
in
addition
to
the
you
know,
the
whatever
approvals
we,
you
know
recommendation
we
make
on
the
site
development
allowances.
I
think
we
ought
to
see
if
there's
some
way,
that,
if
they're,
really
significant
changes
in
the
materials
in
the
facade
that
you
know
I
mean
it
could
have
affected
whether
or
not
we'd
support
the
record
foundation
in
the
first
place
right.
A
And,
like
I
said,
I
have
full
faith
and
staff
to
to
make
their
best
judgment
and
to
err
on
the
side
of
kicking
things
to
this
commission,
which
is
typically
the
way
they
work
with
a
lot
of
their
minor
variations
or
at
least
have
in
the
past.
Thank
you
any
other
comments,
suggestions.
A
Hearing
none
there's
been
a
motion
and
it's
been
seconded
to
ask
staff
to
review
this.
Does
staff
need
any
additional
clarification
input
from
us.
C
C
A
B
A
Aye
aye
any
opposed
with
nine
in
favor
and
zero
against
staff
now
has
their
direction
from
this
board,
and
with
that,
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
22plnd0055
a
text
Amendment
regarding
restaurants
and
mixed
use.
Districts,
Miss,
klotz
I,
believe
you're
handling
that.
T
Future
Rogers:
this
is
for
a
city
initiated
text
Amendment
to
the
zoning
ordinance
title
VI
of
the
city
code
to
add
restaurant
type,
1
as
a
permitted
use
and
restaurant
type
2
as
an
administrative
review
use
in
the
mxe
mixed
use.
Employment
District,
the
land
use
commission,
makes
a
recommendation
to
the
city
council,
the
determining
body
for
this
case
in
accordance
with
Section
634
of
the
Evanston
zoning
code
and
ordinance
92021.
T
That
business
is
located
within
the
mxc
zoning
district
and
would
like
to
expand
from
catering
to
a
full
service
type
1
restaurant
and
looking
at
that
specific
area,
it
makes
perfect
sense.
There
is
a
Craft
brewery
in
the
same
vicinity
that,
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
looks
like
and
acts
like
a
restaurant,
although
zoning
classifies
it
as
a
Craft
brewery.
So
it
is
extremely
logical
to
extend
restaurants
into
the
mxc
district.
Overall.
There
are
five
different
areas
throughout
Evanston
that
have
some
mxc
zoning
mxc
zoning.
T
Is
it
largely
started
out
in
areas
that
were
industrial
and
slowly
transitioning
to
Commercial
and
Retail
uses
that
was
around
2007?
So
at
this
point
those
areas
have
successfully
transitioned
and
now
have
a
mixture
of
of
quasi-industrial,
commercial
and
residential
uses,
and
with
that
mixture
there
now
is
that
demand
for
restaurant
uses.
T
Since
this
request
came
up,
staff
has
been
made
aware
of
one
other
business
in
the
mxc
that
is
currently
considered
light
manufacturing,
but
would
like
to
transition
to
be
a
likely
type.
2
restaurant,
that
is
kombucha
Brava,
which
is
in
a
different
mxc
area,
but
just
to
further
show
that
there
is
decent
interest
in
this.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
commission
for
Miss
klutz,
commissioner
Westerberg.
G
Any
responses
or
questions
from
residents
in
some
of
these
specific
locations.
A
Any
other
comments,
questions,
General
feelings.
A
F
So
you
know
these
mixed-juice
categories
were
created
and
and
in
part,
I
think
to
allow
them
to
evolve
over
time
so
I'm
supportive
of
of
of
this
request,
I
think
that
it
makes
perfect
sense
and-
and,
as
you
noted
in
your
memo,
you
know,
uses
have
been
added
along
the
way
to
to
this
District
as
again
as
it
evolves
and
I.
Think
that
that,
having
you
know,
handling
the
the
evolution
through
the
various
text
amendments
you
know
provides
both
some
safeguards
and
flexibility,
so
I'm
supportive.
I
Yeah
I'm
supportive
too
I
was
just
going
to
say,
I,
think
restaurants
stabilize
these
areas,
I've
been
a
double
clutch
several
times
and
I
I
always
see
the
the
soul
and
smoke
truck
and
I'm
thinking.
Okay,
where's,
the
restaurant,
it's
not
there.
They.
P
A
With
that
being
said,
I
think
that
our
mixed
use,
districts
really
kind
of
should
be
our
catch-alls,
and
there
should
be
things
like
industrial
use,
obviously,
where
you're
working
with
heavy
metals
or
things
like
that,
we
need
to
really
kind
of
regulate,
but
outside
of
that,
the
mixed-use
districts
really
should
be
kind
of
a
catch-all
that
can
include
restaurants,
real
real
retail
housing.
You
know
residential
that
sort
of
stuff
all
should
be
acceptable
in
those
particular
areas.
A
We
don't
have
a
ton
of
space
in
in
the
city
that
actually
is
designated
under
the
zoning
code
are
under
the
zoning
District,
so
I
have
no
problem
with
it
either.
These
kind
of
seem
like
they're
kind
of
either
business.
Commercial
plus
districts
are
something
along
those
lines.
A
So
with
that
we
do
have
the
standards
that
we
have
to
meet.
Can
you
bring
those
up
because
I
don't
have
these
in
front
of
me,
so
we
have
just
the
four
right.
That's
what
I
thought
we
have
these
four
standards
under
Section
6345
of
the
zoning
code
and
the
first
one
is
whether
the
proposed
amendment
is
consistent
with
the
goals,
objectives
and
policies
of
the
comprehensive
General
plan
is
adopted
and
amended
from
time
to
time
by
the
city
council.
A
One
of
the
things
that
our
comprehensive
plan
does
is
it
looks
at
making
use
of
our
districts
in
the
best
way
that
it
can
and
so
prohibiting
certain
things
that
are
really
not
going
to
increase
demand
upon
a
particular
District
doesn't
seem
to
make
sense,
so
I
feel
that
that
standard
has
been
met,
B,
whether
the
proposed
amendment
is
compatible
with
the
overall
character
of
existing
development
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
the
subject,
property
again,
going
back
to
the
fact
that
these
mixed-use
areas
are
kind
of
a
catch-all
is
how
they
were
designed
so
that
it
could
include
all
those
those
kind
of
stray
uses
that
kind
of
wandered
into
each
other
in
certain
parts
of
the
city.
A
A
Again,
with
these
being
kind
of
our
our
mixed
use,
areas
where
you
can
have
retail
next
to
housing
next
to
storefronts
of
various
different
types,
I,
don't
believe
that
in
looking
through
what
is
permitted
either
as
a
special
use
or
a
permitted
use
in
these
areas
that
adding
a
restaurant
into
that
list
is
really
going
to
drastically
affect
any
of
these
properties
in
terms
of
their
value
and
number
four,
the
adequacy
of
public
facilities
and
services.
A
F
A
Thank
you
moved
by
commissioner
lindwall.
Is
there
a
second
I'll
commissioner
approved
Hall
with
the
second?
Is
there
any
further
discussion
hearing?
None.
Would
you
please
call
the
roll.
A
So,
with
nine
votes
in
favor
and
zero
against
the
recommendation,
advances
to
pnd
and
then
onward
to
city
council
that
completes
the
items
that
we
had
on
the
agenda
for
this
evening
and
moves
us
into
communication.
The
staff
have
anything
that
they
would
like
to
communicate.
A
If
not,
I
would
like
to
say
welcome
to
miss
flax
in
her
new
role
as
our
interim
community
development
director,
she
will
also
be
retaining
her
role
as
our
and
I
didn't
write,
I
wrote
it
down
and
I
forgot
to
bring
it
housing
and
grants
administrator
manager.
Okay,
so
welcome
to
her
and
we've
seen
her
before
the
sport
many
other
times
on
in
a
different
role,
but
she
will
be
stepping
into
this
one.
A
I
I
this
is
my.
This
is
my
question
that
I
always
ask:
what's
the
status
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
N
F
F
A
Anything
else
from
staff:
no,
we
have
no
public
left
in
the
room
to
comment.
So
at
this
point,
I
will
ask
if
there
is
a
motion
to
adjourn
motion.
