Okay,
good
evening,
this
is
a
public
hearing
of
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
in
the
city
of
evanston
playing
commission.
The
zoning
ordinance
empowers
us
to
hear
references
from
the
city
council,
petitions
from
other
parties
for
variances
and
special
uses
and
appeals
from
the
decisions
of
the
zoning
administrator.
D
We
heard
testimony
from
those
in
attendance
and
then
make
formal
findings
of
fact,
based
on
the
evidence
presented,
which
consists
of
testimony
and
exhibits
and
on
our
knowledge
of
the
community.
We
then
either
make
a
determination
or
recommendation
to
the
city
council.
Testimony
is
taken
under
oath,
although
we
do
not
apply
to
strict
rules
of
evidence
and
procedures.
We
ask
that
you
keep
your
testimony
relevant
to
the
proposal
as
it
relates
to
the
standards
contained
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
D
When
you
testify,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
and
put
your
name
in
the
chat
so
that
we
can
identify
you
later.
Each
case
will
be
introduced
by
staff
and
a
list
of
documents
will
be
read
into
the
record.
Then
the
applicant
will
either
give
an
explanation
of
the
proposal
after
that.
D
C
I
moved
to
that.
We
conduct
this
joint
meeting
of
the

buoyant
who's.
Our
lead

proposed
structure
today.
To

E
Me

Yes,
excellent
perfect.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
my
name
is
josh
gross.
I
am
part
of
the
development
group
for
the
2030
greenwood
street
project
with
us.
We
have
our
lead
developer,
boyan,
who
is
with
us,
but,
as
I
said,
I
will
be
taking
you
through
this
project
and
unless
there's
any
questions
before
we
get
started,
I
guess
we
can
dive
right
in
so
to
give
everyone
an
overview
on
what
our
proposal
is
for
this.
E
This
project
is
that
we're
looking
to
construct
a
multi-storied,
24-unit
apartment
complex,
this
complex
will
be
constructed
of
two
buildings,
building
a
which
will
be
at
the
north
end
of
the
bill
of
the
property
and
building
b,
which
will
subside
just
directly
behind
it.
We
have
some
renderings
that
I
can
show
you
a
little
next
next
few
slides,
so
you
can
get
a
good
visualization
of
that
of
the
24
units
that
we
were
proposing.
E
Three
of
these
units
will
be
one
bedroom.
Units
21
will
be
two
bedroom
units
and
we're
very
excited
to
be
a
part
of
the
city
of
evanston's,
affordable
housing
program
and
announce
that
we're
gonna
allocate
two
of
those
24
units
to
be
iho,
affordable
units.
In
addition
to
that,
we're
also
proposing
two
88
ada
accessible
units.
These
two
units
will
be
on
grade
level
and
fully
wheelchair
accessible.
So
we're
very
excited
to
be
a
part
of
that
program
as
well.
E
To
give
an
idea
of
the
total
size
of
the
structure
that
we're
looking
to
construct.
The
building
footprint
will
come
in
just
over
9
500
square
feet.
The
total
area,
which
also
includes
our
first
floor
parking
garage
which
is
completely
covered,
brings
the
total
area
of
the
of
the
structure
to
just
over
36
000
square
feet,
and
as
mentioned,
we
will
be
having
covered
parking,
and
with
this
we
are
bringing
our
total
parking
spots
up
to
39
from
previous
proposals,
which
were
slightly
less
our
apartment
sizes.
E
To
kind
of
give
a
paint
to
picture
will
range
between
600
feet
to
1250
square
feet
and
our
typical
rent,
as
of
right
now,
is
ranging
between
two
dollars
and
two
and
a
quarter
per
square
foot.
We're
also
excited
to
announce
that
we
are
planning
on
building
a
structure
that
is
eco-friendly
and
also
energy
efficient
for
those
unfamiliar
with
the
with
the
area.
This
is
the
current
state
of
the
property.
It
is
an
unused
empty
plot
of
land.
Basically,
this
is
this.
E
E
Now
before
we
get
into
the
renderings.
You
know
we
met
with
the
dapper
committee
two
weeks
ago
to
go
over
our
proposed
plan,
and
one
thing
that
we
really
wanted
to
address
to
them
was
the
buildings
that
we're
trying
to
create
are
ones
that
we
want
to
be
aesthetically,
pleasing
to
not
only
the
neighbors,
but
also
to
residents
that
we
are
looking
to
attract
with.
That
said,
we
wanted
to
create
something.
E
As
I
mentioned,
we
want
to
create
a
building
that
is
eco-friendly
economic,
but
also
technologically
up
to
date,
so
we're
very
excited
to
pronounce
or
to
announce
our
our
structure
a
so
this
would
be
building
a
which
would
be
sitting
on
the
north
end
of
of
greenwood,
of
our
greenwood
property
right
here
is
where
greenwood
street
would
subside.
E
This
building
right
here
would
would
include
our
single
single
unit,
I'm
sorry
single
bedroom
units
as
well
as
two
bedroom
units.
This
is
also
where
our
ada
accessible
units
would
subside.
So
we
have
one
one:
one:
bedroom
and
one
two
bedroom
units
just
to
kind
of
give
an
overview
on
what
we're
looking
at
right
here
to
the
west
of
the
building
is
where
that
another,
I'm
sorry
apartment
complex,
is
located
here.
E
We
will
have
a
walkway
which
will
give
our
residents
and
the
neighbors
access
to
our
courtyard,
as
well
as
access
to
building
b
on
the
east
side
is
where
our
private
driveway
will
be
located,
and
if
we
take
a
quick
trip
down
there,
you
can
see
here
at
the
corner.
That
is
our
building
a
where
we
just
were
and
then
we're
driving
down
our
private
driveway.
One
thing
I
forgot
to
mention
previously
is
we
have
a
a
big
contribution
towards
greenery
for
this
property.
E
We
want
to
make
sure
it's
very
green,
very
aesthetically,
pleasing
to
not
only
our
our
residents
but
neighbors
guests,
everyone
who's
driving
down
greenwood,
but
as
you
travel
down
our
private
driveway,
one
thing
I
want
you
to
take
note
is
the
structure
of
building
b.
It
is
basically
built
on
three
vestibules
which
give
access
to
six
units,
so
this
is
where
18
of
the
24
units
will
be
located
and
the
other
important
part
that
we're
very
excited
about
is
all
of
the
parking
is
completely
covered.
E
So
we
will
have
tandem
parking
underneath
building
b,
making
all
of
our
parking
nearly
unvisible
from
the
street
view.
So
unless
you
are
specifically
looking
to
see
cars
and
tilt
your
head
at
a
specific
angle,
all
these
cars
will
be
completely
completely
covered.
They
stick
out
right
now,
just
for
the
renderings,
but
the
parking
spaces
are
large
enough
to
fit
two
full-size
cars,
so
we're
very
excited
about
that
as
we
move
on.
So
this
is
the
east,
so
we're
on
the
west
side
of
the
building
facing
east.
E
This
would
be
the
front
side
of
building
b,
this
shadow
right
here,
building
a
would
be
located
just
on
the
left
of
your
screen,
but
again
this
would
be
or
the
walkway
where
our
residents
will
have
access
to
the
front
of
their
buildings,
as
well
as
have
access
to
the
courtyard
or
gazebo
park
benches,
which
will
also
be
open
to
to
neighbors
and
other
members
of
the
community
to
utilize.
E
This
is
a
bird's
eye
view
down
just
to
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
where
things
are
laying
out
and
how
the
property
and
buildings
will
sit
again.
Here
we
have
our
building
a
and
then
building
b
right
directly
behind
it.
As
you
can
see,
really
this
only
viewpoint
to
cars
would
be
very
slightly.
E
You
know
if
you're
coming
from
the
east
side
on
greenwood
street,
but
again
this
would
be
something
you
have
to
be
looking
about,
and-
and
we
got
to
this
with
the
help
of
city
staff
and
members
of
the
dapper
community
dapper
community
at
zoning-
and
it
was
a
great
recommendation.
I
think
it
really
frees
up
the
property
and
makes
it
look
a
very
nice.
E
So
this
is
an
opposite
opposite
view
from
that
bird's
eye,
just
to
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
how
deep
everything
goes
in
the
courtyard
and
the
greenery
that
we're
looking
to
include
in
this
project.
E
Just
to
kind
of
give
an
overview
of
the
site
plan.
I
know
we're
not.
We
don't
need
to
go
into
this
in
too
much
depth
unless
someone
else
would
like
to
review
deeper,
but
just
to
kind
of
give
an
idea
of
where
everything's
located
you
can
see.
We've
got
green
wood
right
here.
Here's
building
a
building
b,
we'll
have
those
three
buildings
on
the
south
side.
I'm
sorry!
Yes,
on
the
south
side
of
the
property.
E
B
as
we
get
into
the
elevation,
so
building
a
and
building
b
will
actually
be
different
heights
building
b
because
it
has
the
underground.
I'm
sorry,
the
first
level
parking
will
sit
higher
than
building
a
building,
a
will
be
the
front-facing
structure.
E
So
really
anyone
that's
driving
down
the
street
any
neighbors
building
a
is,
essentially
all
anyone
will
will
be
able
to
see
when
you're
facing
the
property
straight
on
building
a
is
coming
in
at
just
under
31
feet,
which
keeps
it
in
par
with
most
of
the
other
structures
in
the
area
and
actually
slightly
shorter
than
several
as
well
as
we
go
on
and
look
through
building
a
so
this
would
be
looking
through
building
a
into
building
b
again,
since
we
have
that
parking
structure.
E
On
that
first
floor
building
b
is
coming
in
at
40
feet,
so
we've
got
basically
nine
feet
for
the
parking
garage
ten
feet
for
this.
The
the
first
floor
of
apartments
so
floor,
two
and
four
three
and
that
top
floor
will
be
nine
feet
and
then
our
architect
has
recommended
us
giving
us
about
a
two
feet:
height
lip
for
for
the
top
of
the
roof.
E
This
is
just
another
view
of
that
elevation,
so
you
can
see.
So
this
would
be
the
the
west
view
on
the
building
b.
The
parking
garage
would
would
basically
come
up
to
this
line
right
here
and
then
obviously
would
have
the
the
first
second
and
third
floor
of
apartments
sitting
on
top
and
then
here's
that
opposite
view.
So
the
east
elevation
so
again
that
parking
garage
coming
in
underneath
and
then
the
first
three
floors
of
parking
bringing
in
up
to
40
feet.
E
So
you
know,
one
thing
that
was
really
important
to
us
is
his
community.
His
family
is
is
being
neighborly,
so
when
we
attended
the
second
ward
meeting
back
in
february,
one
of
the
feedbacks
that
we
received
from
several
neighbors
was
that
concern
of
parking.
E
We
understood
that
parking
is
currently
and
has
been
an
issue
for
current
residents
at
the
time
or
current
residents
in
the
area
and
they're
concerned,
for
how
bringing
on
you
know,
24
additional
units
to
the
area
would
affect
them.
As
mentioned,
we're
very
excited
about
the
recommendations
and
the
work
that
we've
done
with
with
the
city
team
to
come
up
with
the
current
plan
that
we
have,
which
has
increased
our
parking
to
39
spots,
our
initial
plan
was
much
lower.
E
Then
we
brought
it
up
to
28
and
then,
with
this
first
floor,
parking
that
we've
come
up
with,
we
were
able
to
bring
it
up
to
39
spots,
which
is
actually
13
over.
What
is
what
is
required,
so
we
truly
believe
that
39
spots
for
24
units
with
amp
will
allows
for
ample
guest
parking
and
should
really
alleviate
any
concern
for
us,
our
residents
needing
to
utilize
street
parking,
public
parking
or
even
parking
spaces
provided
by
the
city.
Even
for
for
pay.
E
Our
goal
is
to
have
all
of
our
residents
all
of
our
residents
guests
being
able
to
park
on
our
facility
and
again
in
a
way
that
does
not
create
a
visual
nuisance,
any
noise
issues
or
or
any
any
traffic
hindrance
to
those
in
the
in
the
area
or
in
the
neighborhood.
E
The
other
concern
that
was
brought
up
was
traffic
congestion.
Obviously,
with
everything
going
on
right
now,
we
have
not
been
able
to
get
a
great
look
of
standard
pre-covered
traffic
patterns
because
we've
been
out
of
you
know
school's
been
out
for
quite
some
time,
but
to
kind
of
give
an
overall
a
view
on
how
our
tenants
typically
act,
those
that
occupy
our
buildings
that
we've
that
we've
constructed
are
typically
30
to
50
years
old.
E
They
are
working
individuals
and
right
now,
obviously
everybody's
I
should
say
everybody,
but
most
most
people
are
working
remotely,
so
the
need
to
travel
to
and
from
the
office
is
very
limited.
Our
thought,
though,
is
hopefully
once
things
return
back
to
normal,
and
hopefully
it
is
soon
because
these
individuals
are
working
in
offices.
Their
time
lapse
will
actually
not
really
conflict
with
the
that
of
the
school.
E
Typically,
most
people
are
leaving
our
complexes
in
our
buildings
between
seven
a.m
and
six,
seven
and
seven
thirty
a.m,
and
now,
returning
until
after
after
normal
last
belt,
which
is
you
know
after
five
pm
and
believe
that
this
should
basically
not
conflict
with
that
8
a.m,
to
2
40
start
time
and
finish
time
for
for
the
high
school.
E
The
other
thing
I'd
like
to
call
out
is
even
with
these
time
slots,
our
residents
will
be
leaving
as
people
are
coming
into
the
area
and
vice
versa,
at
the
close
of
school
and
close
of
business,
so
we're
hoping
that
it
doesn't
create
too
much
traffic
congestion
and
truly
believe
that
it
shouldn't
have
too
much
effect
in
addition
to
the
current
traffic
patterns,
as
we
are
joining
the
community
or
hope
to
join
the
community,
I
should
say
our
plan
is
to
be
one
with
the
with
with
the
with
the
neighbors.
E
We
want
to
be
someone
that
is
part
of
the
team
part
of
the
family
and
contributing
our
part.
We
understand
that
we
are
the
new
kids
on
the
on
the
block,
but
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
welcoming
to
everyone
and
hope
that
we
can
be
welcomed
by
by
those
that
are
currently
there
and
have
been
for
for
many
many
years
so
part
of
the
contributions
that
we
would
love
to
make.
E
In
addition
to,
you
know,
creating
creating
more
patrons
for
local
businesses,
adding
tax
benefits
for
the
city,
which,
I
think
are
all
pretty.
You
know
the
obvious
ones,
but
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
unmute
it
right.
I'm
sorry.
E
Okay,
in
addition
to
those
what
we
are
proposing,
our
new
curbside
landscape,
we're
proposing
currently
right
now
we're
estimating
about
nine
trees
being
added
to
greenwood
street
on
our
property
line,
and
this
is
to
offset
the
removal
of
one
tree
that
one
cottonwood
tree
that
would
need
to
come
down
due
to
access
for
our
private
driveway.
E
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
wanting
to
make
a
thousand
dollar
contribution
to
the
city
of
evanston,
to
plant
new
trees
and
greenery
at
their
discretion,
also
to
help
out
with
the
neighborhood,
because
we
are
aware
that
parking
has
been
in
the
past.
We.
D
E
No
problem,
no
problem
so
yeah,
as
said
we'd
like
to
make
a
thousand
dollar
contribution
for
parking
in
the
area,
in
addition
to
that,
after
completion
of
our
project,
we'd
like
to
replace
all
of
our
public
sidewalks
to
make
that
clean,
smooth
and
grade
level
for
for
pedestrians
as
they
walk
through
the
area
and
then
in
addition
to
that,
as
mentioned
previously,
our
two
iho
affordable
units
and
our
two
ada
accessible
units
and
then
the
reason
why
we're
all
here.
E
So
the
reason
why
we're
here
is
because
the
team
of
2030
greenwood
is
currently
seeking
a
rezoned
property
from
that
i2
that
we're
currently
zoned
as
to
the
mxe.
E
This
would
allow
us
to
construct
this
residential
property
and
then,
after
that,
we
are
looking
for
approval
on
our
24
dwelling
units,
in
addition
and
then
finally,
approval
on
the
height
of
building
b,
which
is
currently
four
stories
at
40
feet
where
the
code
calls
for
three
stories
at
41
feet.
So
that
brings
us
to
my
conclusion
for
what
I've,
what
I've
presented
so
far.
Here's
the
information
of
our
of
our
head
developer,
buoyant.
E
A
C
A
A
B
A
This
is
for
a
single
lot
within
this
area.
It
this
particular
lot
was
actually
part
of
the
adjacent
lot
to
the
east,
but
was
subdivided
I
believe
in
2018
or
2019.
So
it's
just
this
property
that
is
affected
by
the
rezoning.
As
you
can
see,
it
is
surrounded
by
i2
zoning
to
the
east
and
south,
and
a
little
bit
further
to
the
west,
to
the
immediate
west
is
mxe,
which
is
what
is
proposed
for
the
new
zoning
and
to
the
north
is
r2,
which
is
low
density,
residential.
A
So
the
i2
district
or
general
industrial
is
basically
the
mid-range
industrial
manufacturing
district
for
evanston.
The
purpose
is
to
provide
sites
for
some
light
manufacturing
light
industrial
uses
under
controls
that
minimize
any
adverse
effects
on
properties
in
nearby
residential
business
or
commercial
districts.
The
proposed
mxc
or
mixed
employment
district.
