Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
B
A
A
First
of
all,
we
have
received
a
petition
regarding
the
matter
and
staff
will
be
reviewing
that
second
I'd
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
the
proceeding
will
go
today,
we're
going
to
open
things
up
for
public
comment.
First,
if
you're
going
to
speak,
you
should
have
signed
up
on
the
list.
That's
outside
we'll
be
calling
people
in
order
that
they
signed
up.
We.
A
A
A
Let's
see
so
we're
the
Evanston
Plan
Commission
is
a
recommending
body.
We
have
no
final
say
in
in
this
matter.
We
we
recommend
to
the
to
the
village
board
and
we
can
either
recommend
to
approve
we've
got
three
choices.
Recommend
to
approve
recommend
to
approve
was
any
modifications
that
we
see
or
recommend
to
deny
the
application
so
have
I
missed
anything.
Do
you
anyone
think
I've
missed
anything
all
right.
So
with
that,
we
would
normally
ask
that
the
petitioner
give
a
presentation
or
present
any
new
information
they
have.
A
So
do
we
have
the
mail?
We
have
the
map,
the
the
speakers
so
I'm,
going
to
open
this
up
for
public
comment,
all
right.
So
when
you
come
up
we,
if
you're
going
to
speak,
can
you
come
up
to
the
microphone
and
then
state
your
name
and
address
and
speak
into
the
microphone
for
the
for
the
record?
Alright,
so,
and
please
please
my
apologies
ahead
of
time.
If
I,
you
know,
don't
pronounce
your
name
correctly,
so
Marcia
ker,
please
Marcia
there.
We.
C
I've
circulated
a
petition
and
opposition
to
zoning
amendment
for
a
proposed
office
building
at
seventeen
fourteen
to
seventeen
twenty
Chicago
Avenue
I
have
signatures
from
over
60%
of
the
owners
at
seventeen.
Thirty
eight
the
concerns
an
increase
in
vehicular
traffic
in
a
narrow
alley
that
will
negatively
impact
existing
vehicle
and
pedestrian
traffic,
extending
from
Church
Street
to
Clark
Street,
including
commuters
day
long
truck
traffic
and
deliveries.
Safety
is
also
a
great
concern.
C
Also.
There
are
currently
four
garages
plus
several
spaces
in
the
alley
behind
the
WTC
you
historic
buildings
on
Chicago
Avenue.
We
believe
that
the
number
of
people
who
will
work
in
the
proposed
building
will
cause
traffic
backups
on
Church,
Chicago
and
Clark,
and
the
alley
trying
to
enter
the
alley
or
leave
it.
We
are
very
concerned
with
the
size
and
bulk
of
the
proposed
design
of
this
building,
and
there
is
concern
regarding
possible
possible
negative
impact
on
property
values
in
the
immediate
area.
C
Many
believe
that
the
proposed
building
is
incompatible
with
the
Women's
Club,
building,
residential
and
historic
structures
in
the
immediate
area.
We
are
also
concerned
about
the
great
possibility
of
damage
to
the
historic
buildings
during
construction
loss
of
parking.
The
developer
looked
at
the
parking
lot,
the
metered
surface
lot
for
one
day
and
concluded
that
the
day
was
not
fully
used.
Last
Saturday
I
walked
down
the
alley
to
a
restaurant
at
about
3:00
p.m.
the
lot
was
nearly
full
I
believe
you
know.
C
D
Good
evening
yes,
I'm
Kevin
Russell,
as
you
stated,
actually
I,
live
right
next
door
to
Marcia
the
same
building.
I
say
my
wife
and
I
moved
in
a
couple
of
years
ago.
One
of
the
reasons
we
moved
in
as
we
face
north
and
that's
a
beautiful
view.
It
was
just
the
greatest
selling
point,
but
because
we
faced
north
I
notice
traffic,
the
fact
that
Clark
is
a
truck
route
and
the
fact
that
there
are
I
don't
know
how
many
hundreds
of
students
go
by
those
corners
in
the
same
hours.
D
D
A
A
E
You
very
much
I
am
the
current
president
of
the
Women's
Club
of
Evanston
and
I
am
here
on
behalf
of
the
club
to
make
a
statement
of
opposition
to
the
I'm
going
to
call
it
the
library
lot
development
parking
lot
development,
we
the
board.
Will
you
accept?
Council,
the
membership
opposes
the
Evanston
public
library
parking
lot
development.
We
have
two
main
concerns.
One
is
damage
to
our
historic
clubhouse
and
the
second
is
loss
of
private
event.
Income.
E
The
damage
to
the
prehistoric
Clubhouse
is
really
a
huge
concern.
We
want
to
continue
our
heritage
of
giving
back
to
the
community
for
many
years
and
our
Clubhouse
is
integral
to
this
meant
to
this
mission.
It's
our
home.
It's
our
command
center.
It's
where
our
membership
mobilizes
to
address
critical
issues
facing
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community.
We
give
we
serve,
we
celebrate
our
accomplishments
in
our
Clubhouse
and
we
are
unique
really
in
the
area
that
we
have
a
dedicated
gathering
place
and
and
hence
we
are
advocates
for
our
Clubhouse-
we're
not
naive.
E
E
They
fund
the
expenses
associated
with
the
maintenance
and
operation
of
our
one
hundred
and
seven
year
old,
historic
Clubhouse,
we're
very
concerned
that
construction
issues
will
drive
away
private
events
and
put
the
club
in
a
vulnerable
financial
position.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
consideration.
F
F
I
I'm
speaking
very
briefly
for
her
and
she
did
write
a
letter,
but
I
did
want
to
call
attention
to
the
points
that
are
made
because
she
is
disabled.
Has
a
placard
uses
the
library
parking
lot
both
to
go
to
the
library
to
go
to
the
Carlson
building,
which
is
a
medical
building
primarily
and
also
to
go
to
the
Celtic
knot
and
other
venues
right
there,
and
that
lot
is
important
to
her.
So
this
is
what
she
said.
F
The
existing
three
parking
spaces
for
the
disabled
in
the
library
parking
lot
entered
from
Church
Street
are
conveniently
and
safely
located
in
the
first
three
spaces
of
each
of
the
first
three
rows
of
the
lot
directly
across
from
the
sidewalk
east
of
the
library
and
across
the
street
for
medical
and
dental
offices
in
636,
Church,
Street,
restaurants
and
other
businesses.
Removing
these
spaces
from
one
from
use
reduces
the
accessible
parking
in
the
street
and
lot
adjacent
to
the
library
by
half
from
six
spaces
she's,
including
the
the
ones
on
the
street
to
three.
F
How
fully
does
the
proposed
building
meet
the
requirements
for
the
replacing
these
spaces?
The
three
replacement
parking
spaces
for
the
disabled
in
the
proposed
building
are
not
well
located
for
community
members.
The
plan
would
require
a
disabled
person
to
drive
into
the
alley.
Make
a
sharp
right
turn
into
the
large
office.
Building
then
make
a
sharp
left
turn
proceed
to
the
first
level
parking
on
the
far
north
side
of
the
building
and
access
one
of
two
spaces
for
the
disabled.
F
If
those
spaces
were
occupied,
the
person
who
would
have
to
reverse
course
to
go
to
the
ramp,
which
is
immediately
in
front
of
the
entry
area
to
go
to
the
ramp,
to
the
second
level,
where
there
will
be
one
additional
disabled
park,
space
available
for
the
public
there
spaces
also
on
the
third
and
fourth
floor.
But
those
are
for
the
the
own.
F
So,
in
fact,
and
I
won't
go
to
the
second
part
of
her.
No,
but
in
fact
but
the
that
does
is
she
says
in
fact,
the
parking
for
the
disabled
in
the
proposed
building
is
only
appropriate
for
someone
with
business
in
1714
1720
she
Gago
Avenue,
and
then
she
points
out
also
that
the
number
of
replacement
spaces
is
five
I
mean
the
number
of
spaces
for
disabled
is
five.
F
We're
building
of
that
size
requires
207
of
two
hundred
and
twenty
three
parking
spaces,
and
that,
although
renting
from
the
city
in
the
and
the
municipal
law
works
for
people
who
are
not
disabled,
going
to
the
municipal
lot,
going
upstairs
exiting
coming
out
on
on
Church,
Street
and
then
coming
back
up
to
the
building
or
to
the
other
locations
is
not
a
feasible.
Thank
you
all.
F
This
is
two
Lots
in
a
residential
neighborhood
being
rezone
as
d3,
which
is
the
most
intense
zoning
in
this
in
the
city
code,
and
it
is
for
the
purpose
of
building
this
167
foot
office
tower
referred
to
in
the
letter.
But
the
marketing
study
is
your
office
tower.
It's
not
our
word
to
use
tower,
but
that's
the
word
that
they
used
it's
not
concerned.
F
So
I've
made
the
point
a
lot
of
points
in
my
letter
which
I
won't
go
into
and
again,
but
the
main
points
are
that
the
rezoning
from
r6
to
d3
would
violate
the
practice,
good
practice
owning
practice
and
offend
all
four
of
the
standards
that
are
set
forth
in
the
Evanston
zoning
code.
It's
not
consistent
with
the
goals,
objectives
and
policies
of
the
comprehensive
general
plan.
It's
not
compatible
with
the
overall
character
of
the
existing
development
in
the
vicinity
of
the
subject
property.
F
It
has
an
adverse
effect
on
the
adjacent
properties,
both
economic
and
cultural,
as
attested
to
by
the
statements
of
the
Frances
Willard
people
and
the
Women's
Club
Woman's
Club,
and
it
has
testified
to
the
by
the
Everson
public
library
at
the
dapper
and
I'm
sure
that
they
will
may
say
something
further
and
in
the
past
month
this
has
been
a
subject
of
great
community
interest,
as
you
may
proceed
from
the
community
interest
is
here
and
so
owners
representing
more
than
30%
of
the
parcels.
You
reference
the
this
this
petition.
F
G
Never
done
this
before
so
I'm
a
little
nervous
I'm,
not
here
with
any
particular
organization
I'm
just
here
for
myself
and
my
family
and
people
who
live
live
at
Winston.
There
has
been,
as
far
as
I
can
tell
I'm
a
pretty
active
person
in
terms
of
what's
going
on
in
the
city
and
certainly
in
politics
of
any
kind.
There
has
been
as
far
as
I
could
tell.
There
was
no
publicity
about
this
building.
G
G
The
Evanson
gives
them
the
mail
that
you
get
the
email
that
comes
from
Evanston
talks
about
Beach
openings
and
the
rain,
and
the
contest
winners,
nothing
about
any
parking
lot
renovation
devastation.
The
round
table
has
some
information,
but
it
doesn't
come
to
the
condos.
At
least
it
doesn't
come
to
my
condo,
so
I
have
no
way
people
would
have
no
way
of
knowing
about
this.
G
Secondly,
I've
heard
all
kinds
of
I
was
at
the
last
alderman
eating
and
there
and
talk
about
the
construction
that
the
person
was
there.
I
have
heard
nothing
about
the
interim
during
the
construction.
Where
we'll
be
parking
during
the
construction.
Where
will
people
be
able
to
go?
How
will
they
be
able
to
walk
during
the
construction
if
I
have
and
have
you
advertised
this
with,
and
especially
this
one
relates
to
the
interim
issue.
Has
any
information
publicity
gone
to
the
preschools?
Has
any
information
about
this
gone
to?
The
elementary
schools?
G
Has
any
of
the
information
known
to
the
high
schools
about
this
construction.
It's
going
to
affect
especially
families.
People
with
young
children.
Have
you
ever
tried
walking
from
the
big
garage
down,
especially
in
the
snow?
Have
you
tried
walking
in
construction
with
strollers,
so
I
think
people
need
to
know
about
this?
G
My
husband
would
have
serious
trouble
with
walks
with
a
cane.
We
go
to
the
library
regularly
for
meetings
in
the
east,
specially
in
the
evenings.
He
would
have
serious
trouble
walking
from
the
description
that
Joan
just
gave
about
how
you
get
out
of
the
handicap
spaces
or
even
in
the
garage
of
that
building
and
I
was
also.
The
last
thing
is
that
I
have
been
told
by
a
librarian
that
the
libraries
are
funded
through
circulation.
G
This
library
is
going
to
lose
circulation
by
people
not
going
to
the
libraries
I
now
in
fact,
I
go
to
a
met.
More
often,
then
I
come
to
the
Evanston
one
because
of
the
parking
and
because
it's
easier
to
access
will
Matt's
library
it's
going
to
be
impossible
to
access
the
library
and
the
restaurants.
If
you
want
to
see
businesses
go
out
of
business
watch
what
happens
to
those
restaurants
on
Church
Street,
because
people
park
in
that
lot
and
during
the
construction
and
afterwards
there's
not
going
to
be
any
okay.
A
H
End
the
day,
I
live
at
1401,
Davis,
Street,
I'm,
executive,
director
of
the
Center
for
Women's
History
and
leadership,
which
operates
the
Frances
Willard
house
Museum,
and
the
Frances
Willard
Memorial,
Library
and
Archives
on
behalf
of
the
WCTU,
and
also
the
WCTU
site
manager
for
the
properties
and
I'm.
The
head
gardener.
Okay,
three
concerns
I
did
send
this
to
you
earlier,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
this
first
proper
concern
is
property
security.
H
We
have
a
historic
landscaping
plan
that
includes
a
green
fence,
we're
trying
to
prevent
people
from
growing
through
from
the
parking
lot
through
our
property
to
get
to
wherever
they're
trying
to
get
to
that's
a
routine
routine
occurrence.
Today
we
had
talked
to
the
developers
about
possibly
working
with
us
and
on
the
landscaping
on
the
green
fence
side,
we
talked
about
extending
a
offense
from
our
property
all
the
way
to
their
buildings,
so
that
people
could
not
Traverse
on
the
north
side
from
the
alley
to
Chicago
Avenue.
H
We
talked
about
all
that
and
nothing
is
here.
Okay,
second
concern
is
water,
runoff
protection.
We
are
lower
in
than
the
library
parking
lot
and
we
routinely
get
flooding
happening
on
our
property.
I
can't
see
how
having
a
13
story
building
is
going
to
help
that
situation.
So
I
don't
know
if
there
is
any
information
about
how
runoff
is
going
to
be
handled
with
the
building,
but
it
would
be
appreciated.
The
final
concern
is
the
transition
zone
and
we're
talking
really
about
the
trees.
H
H
So
when
you
look
at
the
building
plans,
the
renderings
just
show
an
open
swath
and
that
nor
and
then
sometimes
it
shows
trees
on
our
property.
All
the
trees
are
on
our
property,
and
sometimes
it
doesn't
show
any
thing
so
we're
not
quite
sure
what
they
say
they're
going
to
do,
but
the
tree
protection
plan
that
they
talked
about.
H
They
indicated
in
the
previous
plan
Commission
meeting
that
it's
still
a
draft
they're
going
to
be
hiring
an
arborist.
We
have
I'm
using
their
words.
We
have
engaged
in
arborist
to
create
a
report.
Okay,
we
recognize
this
construction
will
impact
some
of
the
existing
trees.
Okay,
we
would
work
with
the
city
to
protect
and
save
as
many
existing
trees,
as
is
feasible,
develop
a
replacement
strategy.
There's
no
mention
of
working
with
the
neighbor,
and
the
strategy
may
involve
replacing
trees
on
adjacent
properties
or
parkways.
H
So
I'd
like
to
point
out
now
that
the
law
governing
protection
of
trees
of
neighbors
in
Illinois
is
in
Illinois
statutes,
chapter
740,
civil
liabilities,
185
slash
to
treble
damages
any
party
found
to
have
intentionally
cut
or
knowingly
caused.
We
cut
any
timber
or
tree
which
he
did
not
have
full
legal
right
to
cut,
cut
or
cause
to
be
cut
shall
pay
the
owner
of
the
timber
or
trees.
Three
times
it's
stumpage
value,
stumpage
value
is
the
defined
it's
the
price
that
a
firm
would
pay
for
harvesting
the
timber
usually
500
to
$2,500
per
tree.
H
However
ornamental
or
landmark
trees
can
have
a
value
between
twenty
thousand
and
sixty
thousand.
That's
all
in
the
statute.
Okay,
there
are
11
ornamental
or
historic
trees
affected
by
the
building.
So
if
this
building
goes
forward,
we
request
an
irrevocable
written
agreement
in
perpetuity
from
the
developers
for
the
payment
of
any
of
all
costs
incurred
for
us
by
us
for
the
removal
of
all
these
trees.
That's
it.
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
H
I
I
Name
is
Virginia
Beatty
I'm,
Evan,
Evan
sounion
by
choice
and
I've
lived
at
1509
Forest
Avenue,
since
1963
and
I
am
very
happy
to
have
an
opportunity
to
share
some
thoughts
with
all
of
you.
My
biggest
concern
is
about
the
parking
spaces
and
the
construction
that
brings
entrance
to
the
underground
parking
in
the
Northwestern,
University
Housing
and
the
public
library,
to
the
same
point
that
the
parking
is
going
to
be
entering
the
proposed
building.
I
Let's
invite
people
to
come
from
all
over
the
world
to
stop
by
and
enjoy
Evanston's
history
and
hospitality
and
then
leave
to
tell
the
rest
of
the
world
about
it.
Let
them
come
and
enjoy
it,
and
I
would
like
to
suggest
to
the
people
who
drew
up
the
lovely
picture
of
the
building
and
all
the
good
information
that
they
provided,
that
I
thought
they
did
an
excellent
job.
I.
Just
don't
think
that
the
13
story,
or,
however
tall
the
building
is
going
to
be,
is
quite
the
thing
to
do.
I
I
I
I
J
Am
Sarah
Shaw
Stockton
always
happy
to
follow
Virginia.
This
is
a
welcome
opportunity
tonight
to
ask
a
question
about
something:
that's
inconsistent
with.
In
the
proposal
there
are
on
page
68
in
the
list
of
public
benefits,
the
developers
say
that
they
would
be
creating
544
permanent
jobs
in
the
area
and
350
construction
jobs.
Then,
on
page
71,
we're
told
the
project
would
create
225
construction
jobs
and
bring
a
hundred
and
fifty
FTEs
to
the
area
on
page
75.
In
conclusion,
it's
asserted
that
the
project
will
be
leased
to
a
creditworthy
fortune.
J
A
L
Hi,
my
name
is
Janet
steidel
I
live
at
1401,
Davis
Street
I
just
have
it's
kind
of
a
question
in
the
traffic
study.
They
did
existing
pedestrian
and
bike
volumes,
and
that
was
their
figure
four,
so
those
are
the
existing
ones
and
then
they
also
did
a
year
twenty
twenty
three
total
traffic
volume
projection,
but
that
looks
like
it's
just
for
vehicles
and
it's
not
for
pedestrian
and
bike
volume.
L
So
when
I
looked
at
the
rest
of
the
numbers,
I
looked
at,
there
would
be
544
employees
and
there
would
be
91
specific
on-site
office,
parking
spaces
and
50
spaces
for
bikes.
So
that
means
there's
a
hundred
and
forty-one
spaces
for
some
kind
of
package
in
the
building.
But
there
are
544
projected
employees
there
will
be.
That
leaves
403
employees
who
have
to
get
to
the
building
some
way.
I,
don't
know,
I
think
that
probably
ought
to
be
projected
out.
L
That's
a
lot
of
people
I
assume
they
would
be
walking
through
the
alley
because
of
be
coming
from
public
transportation.
Just
west
of
the
site.
I,
don't
know
many
people
who
would
walk
around
the
building
to
go
in
the
front.
Even
though
the
front
you
know
is
where
you
would
assume,
but
there
are
entrances
from
the
alley
to
the
building,
so
I
really
think
in
this
case,
because
the
alley
is
such
a
big
concern,
the
safety,
the
volume
etc
that
are
projecting
into
2023.
M
I'm
Austan
chair
I,
live
at
16:30,
Chicago
Avenue
I'm,
here
to
speak
against
the
proposal.
I
think
it's
dangerous
in
the
sense
that
the
alleyways
have
blind
turns
and
the
left-hand
turn
that
has
to
be
made
off
of
Church
is
past
the
indentation
for
the
drop-off
of
the
library
past
the
book
drop
and
past
the
mailbox.
Now
the
mailbox
could
be
reconfigured
but
it'd
be
very
difficult
to
reconfigure
the
other
two
and
frequently
even
now.
M
It
is
visually
disproportionate,
as
others
have
spoken.
The
thirteenth
story
building
will
tower
over
the
willard
museum
and
because
it
will
deprive
the
museum
of
winter
sunlight,
it
will
actually
deteriorate
the
building
more
quickly
because
it
won't
dry
out
enough
without
winter
sunlight
and
what
happens
to
wood
over
a
long
period
of
time
when
it's
wet
it
becomes
more
mushy.
So
that's
a
real
concern
for
the
Willard.
Those
three
beautiful
Victorians
in
the
shadows.
M
The
the
developed
have
said
that
they
tried
to
make
the
building
consistent
by
making
color
scheme
of
the
of
the
bottom
four
floors
consistent
with
the
colors
of
the
adjacent
buildings.
But
it's
a
little
bit
like
painting
a
blue
and
white
stripe
on
the
bottom
of
the
Titanic
and
saying
that's
consistent
with
neighboring
sailboats.
The
building
is
really
disproportionate
and
will
look
make
those
smaller
buildings.
Look
ridiculous.
M
M
In
summary,
I'd
say:
Evanston
has
a
tradition
of
supporting
young
people
and
supporting
education
fact
it's
nationally
known
as
a
great
college
town.
This
building,
though
well
intentioned,
flies
in
the
face
of
that
tradition.
It
doesn't
really
respect
the
historical
buildings,
it's
dangerous
for
students,
dangerous
for
people
using
the
library
and
I
urge
you
to
reject
it.
Thank
you.
N
My
name
is
Libby
Hill
I
live
at
2715
woodland
so
that
it
is
no
place
near
this
building.
I'm
representing
bird
friendly
Evanston
and
our
our
interest
is
the
fact
that
Evanston
is
part
of
the
major
Flyway
for
birds
for
migrating
birds
in
the
United
States
part
of
the
Mississippi
Flyway
and,
as
a
result,
birds
that
fly
over
Evanston
are
in
danger,
one
way
or
the
other
by
glass,
a
lot
of
glass
buildings
and
a
lot
of
tall
buildings.
Okay,
so
bird
friendly
Evanston
commends
the
efforts
of
the
architect
to
design
the
building.
N
Mindful
of
the
safety
of
the
millions
of
birds
that
migrate
over
Evanston
in
spring
and
fall,
the
lower
4
floor
floors
have
non
reflective,
non
transparent
glass
and
the
terrace
glass
walls
have
patterned
glass.
Regarding
the
terrace,
the
trees
are
placed
close
to
the
glass
which
minimizes
the
likelihood
of
a
bird
flying
from
the
trees.
You
know
being
frightened
and
so
on,
and
then
striking
the
glasses
and
being
mortally
hurt
should
a
future
modification
of
the
trees
that
are
on
that
Terrace
occur
either
they
be
die
or
be
moved
or
removed.
N
Then
the
patterned
glass
that
they've
designed
into
the
terrorists
will
continue
to
provide
bird
safety.
Our
only
concern
is
the
lobby
which
is
currently
designed
with
clear
glass,
and
we
recommend
that
pattern
glass
would
be
considered
as
it's
part
of
the
lower
floors
and
the
lower
four
floors
are
the
ones
that
they
plan
to
treat
bird
friendly,
Evanston
thanks
the
architects
for
working
with
us
and
for
their
use
of
lead,
55
pilot
study
pilot
program
for
designing
a
building
with
concern
for
the
future
of
migratory
birds.
N
A
O
Good
evening,
I'm
Vicki
Burke
I
live
at
1409
Rosalee
Street
I
have
question
for
you:
Sarah
Ward
who's,
the
national
president
of
the
WCTU,
was
planning
to
drive
up
from
the
in
Indianapolis
area
and
she
had
a
last-minute
medical
issue
and
couldn't
drive
up
so
I.
Have
she
sent
me
via
email,
a
state,
a
part
of
the
statement
that
she
was
planning
to
say
so?
Can
I
have
a
twofer
one
for
her
because
I'm?
Actually,
the
chair
of
the
Center
for
Women's
History
and
leadership
and
I'm
and
I'm
authorized
to
speaking
officially
for
them?
O
Imus,
yes,
I'm
speaking
the
officially
a
reading
statement
from
Sarah
and
then
I
have
some
questions
for
the
developer
myself:
okay,
okay,
thank
you.
I'm
gonna,
shorten
it
a
little
bit
but
to
follow
up
on
Virginia's
part
about
the
women.
The
National
WCTU
is
very
proud
of
our
historically
significant
Willard
house
and
the
surrounding
buildings.
No
doubt
you
are
aware
that
as
part
of
the
Chicago
trib
Tribune's
celebration
of
Illinois
Bicentennial,
they
offered
a
bucket
list
of
20
things.
Every
Illinoisans
should
see.
The
Willard
house
was
ranked
at
number
2.
O
Official
I
am
grateful
that
the
WCTU
has
been
Ruza,
represented
by
Glen
Madea
executive
director
of
the
Center
for
Center
for
Women's
History
and
leadership,
which
is
managing
our
properties
and
by
Vicki
Burke
chair
of
the
center,
but
neither
of
them
have
been
asked
by
any
city
official
for
any
contact
of
nation.
This
would
include
Ottoman,
Fisk
and
city
in
our
city
manager.
Having
just
completed
three
years
as
president
of
my
own
Town
Council
I
understand
the
importance
of
speaking
to
property
owners.
When
there
are
matters
of
concerned,
I
am
usually
in
Evanston
quarterly.
O
O
So
my
questions
can
we
get
clarification
on
whether
or
not
there
will
be
a
scale
model
of
the
proposed
building,
including
the
existing
buildings
and
the
block
bounded
by
Clark
Chicago
Church
in
Torrington?
And
if
so,
we've
been
asking
for
this
for
two
and
a
half
years
by
the
way.
It's
so
can
we
request
request
the
model
be
on
public
display
at
the
Evanston
Public
Library,
for
the
benefit
of
the
public
in
reference
to
public
benefit,
which
is
now
number
ten
stead
of
number
one
which
was
originally
e.
O
Th
s,
student
pilot
internship,
since
my
background
is
in
education.
I
was
particularly
pleased
by
that
public
benefit,
but
I
have
lots
of
questions
about
it
and,
in
other
words,
will
the
developer
vite
hiring
a
curriculum
specialist
to
develop
the
program.
Can
we
get
information
on
the
syllabus
for
the
program?
Will
the
developer
be
underwriting
any
eth
s
staff,
time
for
oversight
and
administration
of
this
program?
Well,
there
be
any
type
of
certification
for
the
students
upon
completion
of
this
program.
O
Can
we
get
clarification
on
the
possible
longevity
and
sustainability
of
this
internship?
Is
the
internship
is
the
it
is
the
intent
that
this
can
be
used
by
ET,
yet
just
in
the
city
with
future
developers,
I
mean,
I
think
it's
an
excellent
idea,
but
I
know
that
with
education,
you
can't
just
say:
oh
we're
going
to
do
this
and
just
bring
the
kids
on
over
and
we'll
help
mount.
So
I
would
love
to
see
something
like
that
happen,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be.
O
You
know
can't
be
done
by
the
seat
of
the
pants
sort
of
thing
and
and
in
reference
to
public
benefit
number
eleven.
Now
it
says,
create
a
public
/
private
by
crew
can
we
appear
for
clarification
on
exactly
what
is
meant
by
use
by
immediate
public
/
501c3
employees,
because
the
only
501c3
entities
that
are
immediate
to
that
property
are
the
Women's
Club
of
which
I'm
a
past
president
and
the
willard
property.
The
woman's
club
has
two
full-time
employees.
O
I
think
the
property
and
the
house
is
big
enough
to
held
their
bikes.
The
willard
house
has
part
very
part-time
employees
and
we
get
parking
spaces
and
we
got
we've
got
a
pretty
big
lot,
so
I
think
we
got
plenty
of
space
to
handle
any
kind
of
parking
tricks.
So
I
don't
see
that
a
that's,
not
public
benefit,
because
it's
specific
to
those
two
entities-
and
it
actually
is
no
benefit-
does
whatsoever,
because
we
don't
need
that.
So
I
question
the
legitimacy
of
that
public
benefit
I'm
on
the
list.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
P
Good
evening
again,
chair
commissioners,
I'm
Ben
Shapiro
I
live
at
11:27,
Dewey,
Avenue
I'm.
Also,
president
of
the
library
board
for
Evanston
Public
Library.
You've
heard
a
number
of
really
good
comments
tonight,
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
slightly
different
one.
Our
big
concern
after
some
of
the
things
I
mentioned
the
last
month,
is
parking.
We
see
an
average
of
1700
people
every
day
at
the
public
library
and
we're
open
7
days
a
week.
That's
everyone
from
infants
to
seniors
people
by
car
people
by
bicycle.
P
My
concern
directly
comes
out
of
the
comments
made
during
the
developers
presentation
last
month,
where
they
clearly
stated.
They
expect
the
shortfall
and
parking
availability
based
on
their
building
will
be
taken
up
by
the
quote:
empty
Evanston,
Public
Library
parking
garage
in
the
basement.
That
lot
is
key
to
our
ability
to
provide
services
to
our
public.
P
Far
far
far
from
that.
So
this
has
a
real
concern
for
me
in
that
we
could
not
be
available
for
people
on
days
like
today,
where
we're
looking
at
20s
and
people
have
to
come
with
their
infants
for
a
program
or
seniors
who
are
coming
for
tax
help
or
for
help
with
the
navigators
for
Obamacare,
etc
would
not
be
able
to
find
closed
in
parking.
P
Additionally,
we're
concerned
about
the
snow
removal
plan
and
I
am
as
a
cyclist
concerned
about
the
blind
dog
like
for
that
alley.
That
goes
to
our
south,
and
my
normal
facility
manager
is
gravely
concerned
about
people
using
the
Northside
Drive
way
for
our
parking
garage
as
a
cut-through
to
the
parking
in
this
building
there
is
exit
out
of
that
space
is
what
does
not
have
cor
terribly
great
sight
lines,
so
we're
concerned
about
that
as
well.
P
Those
are
great
things
for
us
so,
as
proposed
this
building
would
directly
impact
in
a
negative
way
our
ability
to
serve
the
public,
who
is
paying
for
our
services
and
who
has
demonstrated
a
great,
join
using
those
services.
So
I
would
respectfully
submit
that
you
request
that
you
not
approve
this
building
as
currently
proposed
that
the
parking
issue
is
a
grave
one
for
us
and
impacts
our
ability
to
serve
the
public.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Q
My
name
is
Bruce.
Anand
luck,
I'm
a
42
year
resident
of
this
great
town
can't
believe
I
can
say
that
I
like
to
just
focus
on
three
absolute
non-negotiable
requirements:
non-starters
that
are
completely
unacceptable
and
not
permitted
under
the
executed
and
now
extended
purchase
and
sale
agreement.
First,
the
building
height
by
agreement
is
limited
to
11
stories
proposal
before
you
is
13.
This
is
not
permitted
under
the
agreement
and
cannot
be
allowed.
Q
It
has
been
on
the
table
and
known
since
day,
one
and
ignored
by
this
developer
over
the
entire
time,
parenthetically
any
pleas
by
the
developer
that
the
cost
of
funds
have
increased
over
times
of
no
concern
it
being
completely
his
responsibility.
He
could
have
ensured
himself
against
such
increases.
Apparently
he
chose
not
to
second
the
number
of
parking
spaces
in
the
current
surface.
Lot,
which
are
open,
24/7
is
75
spaces.
The
purchase
and
sale
agreement
requires
that
the
same
number
of
public
spaces
be
provided
in
the
project.
The
proposal
before
you
has
22
such
spaces.
Q
This
is
not
permitted
under
the
agreement
and
cannot
be
allowed.
It
has
been
on
the
table
and
known
since
day,
one
and
ignored
by
the
developer
over
the
entire
time.
Third,
there
is
no
provision
for
the
taking
of
alley,
right-of-way
the
purchase
and
sale
agreement.
This
proposal
before
you
takes
a
critical
part
of
this
already
quirky,
substandard
and
difficult
to
maneuver
right-of-way,
creating
what
amounts
to
a
serious
fire
and
safety
hazard
as
well
as
further
complicating
general
car,
as
well
as
a
very
significant
amount
of
pedestrian
traffic.
Q
This
is
not
permitted
under
the
agreement
and
cannot
be
allowed.
It
has
been
on
the
table
and
known
since
the
very
first
dapper
meeting
and
has
been
ignored
by
the
developer
with
regard
to
the
fire
departments
rather
lukewarm
acceptance.
Letter
I
would
offer
that
the
dapper,
which
includes
fire
department,
representation,
unanimous
rejection,
should
hold
sway,
also
give
some
thought
about
what
would
happen
if
trucks
were
in
both
private
projects
and
the
library's
loading
docks
they
be
facing
each
other
and
no
one
would
be
able
to
get
through
that
alley
in
either
direction.
Q
Additionally,
simply
as
an
as
an
egregious
case
of
spot
zoning,
this
proposal
should
be
denied,
as
this
project
has
advanced
I,
do
not
feel
the
developer
has
proactively
moved
through
the
process
or
made
a
good-faith
effort
by
ignoring
fundamental
and
non-negotiable
requirements
on
building
height
public
parking
right-of-way,
which
have
been
on
the
table
for
a
long
time.
Thereby
making
this
project
automatically
unacceptable
I
would
propose
to
say:
stop
the
party's
over.
Should
the
developer
get
religion,
he
can
return
with
a
new
plan.
Dapper
has
unanimously
rightfully
rejected
this
proposal.
The
plan
commission
should
as
well.
R
Excuse
me:
I'm
Kim,
Stanton
incoming
president
for
the
Women's
Club
of
Evanston.
I,
really
don't
have
anything
different
to
say.
Besides
what
Melanie
Cody
had
said,
but
I
want
to
just
and
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
appropriate
but
set
the
record
straight.
The
Women's
Club
has
been
accused
of
signing
an
agreement
being
an
agreement.
We
have
been
in
talks
with
the
developer
for
two
and
a
half
three
years
and
there
has
not
been
an
agreement,
but
we
did
get
one
at
last
minute
today.
R
A
H
A
S
S
S
Good
evening
everybody
it's
Judy,
Fiske
force,
Ward
Alderman
I
just
wanted
to
correct
the
record.
Someone
had
mentioned
that
Sarah
Ward
had
not
received
any
communication
from
me
as
Alderman
her
from
the
city.
This
is
a
letter
sent
from
Sarah
Ward
to
the
mayor
and
city
manager
and
myself
on
July
16th,
dear
mr.
Bobcats,
in
September
of
2016
I
sent
you
a
letter
asking
that
all
communications
regarding
the
library
parking
lot
be
directly
sent
to
Vicki
Burke
and
Glen
badeah,
who
I
designated
to
represent
me
and
all
the
dot
and
the
WCTU.
S
In
all
discussions
regarding
the
WCTU
properties,
it
is
now
July
of
2018
and
I
understand
from
them
that
developers
are
proceeding
through
the
city's
planned
development
process.
This
letter
is
to
formally
reiterate
my
designation
of
miss
Burke
of
Mister
medallion
as
representing
me
and
the
WCTU
in
Hall
proceedings.
Vicki
Burke
is
the
chair
of
the
board
of
trustees
of
the
Center
for
Women's
History
and
leadership
located
at
the
WCTU
properties
and
has
the
management
oversight
of
said
properties.
She
also
chairs
the
center's
Willard
house,
Museum
Council,
which
manages
our
Museum.
She
lives
in
Evanston.
S
It
can
be
reached
to
the
following
phone
number:
when
Madonna
is
the
executive
director
of
the
Center
for
Women's
History
and
leadership
and
the
WCTU
property
site
manager,
he
also
lives
in
Evanston
and
can
be
reached
in
the
following
telephone
number.
Please
share
this
letter
of
designation
to
the
appropriate
city
staff
regards
Sarah,
ward,
president,
national
women's
Christian,
Temperance
Union
and,
as
I
said,
that
was
copied
to
both
the
mayor
and
myself.
There
have
been
meetings
with
MS
Burke
and
mr.
McKenna.
They
have
been
included
in
the
process
all
along
and
I.
A
T
T
Do
we
had
them
do
truck
radiuses
because
we
thought
that
was
obviously
the
most
important
thing,
but
there
was
concern
about
from
the
community
about
how
the
cars
navigate
and
we
have
these
diagrams
now
that
show
that
they
did
get
very
well
and
I
just
want
to
also
mention
that
these
vehicles
that
were
showing
are
19
foot
long,
Chevy
Suburbans.
So
these
are
not
like
ours
or
Fiats.
They
are
like
full-on
gigantic
vehicles
that
we
hope
people
no
longer
buy.
T
We
are
also
trying
we,
as
you
know,
we're
putting
a
new
mark
crosswalk
right
now
there
is
no
crosswalk
and
there
is
no
safe
way
to
forget
for
anybody,
including
people
in
wheelchairs,
to
get
from
the
parking
lot.
That's
there
now
to
the
library,
so
we're
hoping
to
improve
upon
that
there
be
a
sidewalk
to
be
signage,
there'll
be
a
crosswalk.
Maybe
even
there
are
some
kind
of
special
lighting
there.
What
would
make
sense,
I
think
as
far
as
snow
removal,
everyone's
very
worried
about
snow
removal,
I
think
I.
T
T
It
will
melt
it
will
the
drain
and
there's
not
going
to
be
a
big
worry
about
that
and
I'm
and
enough
that
say
that
we
don't
want
to
be
involved
in,
like
being
part
of
a
a
coalition
of
different
landowners,
to
make
sure
that
the
alley
is
always
clear
because
I
think
that
makes
perfect
sense
and
then
we're
told
they're
willing
to
do
that.
We
also
talked
about
doing
signage
so
that
people
know
if
they
have
to
go
to
a
different
garage
or
if
that's
filled
up.
T
We
hope
it
will
never
be
filled,
but
if
there
are
empty
spaces,
for
instance
in
the
basement
of
the
library
which
we're
finding
out,
there's
actually
quite
a
few
empty
spaces
at
times.
So
I
think
that
makes
a
great
deal
of
sense
when
willing
that
the
developers
are
willing
to
spend
some
money
to
do
that.
We
we
haven't
really
negotiated
with
see
exactly
how
that
works.
T
So
I
don't
want
to
be
ethereal
about
that,
but
it
is
something
that's
totally
on
our
radar
and
something
we're
committed
to
I
also
want
to
remind
people
that
there's
a
hundred
and
twelve
parking
spaces,
that's
available
to
the
public
after
5:00
p.m.
and
on
weekends,
and
that
is
when
the
demand
is
greatest.
T
We're
really
basically,
and
if
you
add
the
34
spaces,
underneath
the
library
that's
a
total
of
146
spaces
after
five
o'clock
and
on
weekends
instead
of
the
108,
or
that
we
have
now
so
actually
increasing
the
ability
for
people
to
come
and
use
the
restaurants
use
the
library.
So
it's
it's
actually
kind
of
counterintuitive.
But
it's
really
that's
the
truth.
That's
the
way
it
works
there.
T
There
would
be
91
parking
spaces
for
office
workers,
okay
on
a
typical
day,
9:00
to
5:00,
but
so,
if
up
to
38-
and
you
recreate
I-
think
Peter-
you
asked
about
this-
you
said
what
do
people
stay
like
to
work?
People
stay
like
to
work
all
the
time,
so
we
realized
that
as
a
count
up
to
38
office,
workers
can
actually
stay
after
and
work
till.
T
However
long,
that's
roughly
40%
the
occupancy
of
people
that
would
park
there
from
the
building
40
percent,
those
people
can
park
there
and
that
would
still
keep
the
number
of
parking
spaces
at
108,
which
it
presently
is
right.
Now,
if
you
combine
the
surface
lot
and
underneath
the
library
the
alley
width,
we
talked
about
we're
also
talking
about
having
a
full-time
security
person
in
the
garage
and
and
our
developers
is
committed
to
that
again.
I
think
it's
really
important.
We
there
is
no
security
out
in
that
out
parking
lot
right.
T
Now,
it's
really
poorly
lit
and
and
and
I'm
I've
been
a
member
of
this
community
for
thirty
years,
I've
taken
my
kids
that
library
many
times
that
lot,
and
that
is
a
pretty
scary,
dark
lot,
but
but
I
hope
with
a
with
more
lighting
and
a
personnel
there
that
that'd
be
pretty
good.
People
were
talking
about
how
to
get
into
the
building,
and
people
are
gonna,
be
cutting
through
the
alley.
First
of
all,
as
a
pedestrian
I,
don't
like
to
go
through
alleys,
I
don't
want
to
go
through
an
alley.
T
I
want
to
go
the
normal
route
taking
is
there
is
no
shortcut
going
to
get
to
our
building
to
go
through
the
alley.
It's
geometrically
exactly
the
same
number
of
feet.
It's
either
you
go
straight
to
the
corner
and
take
a
left
and
go
into
the
lobby
of
our
building
or
you
go
I
guess
to
the
alley
and
then
go
down
the
sidewalk
to
the.
T
But
but
it's
exactly
the
same
number
of
steps,
so
I
would
think
that
most
people
are
elect
just
to
walk
on
a
beautiful,
wide
sidewalk,
as
opposed
to
going
through
an
alley,
but
I
can't
guarantee
that.
But
that's
our
intent
is
to
make
a
really
beautiful
entrance
on
Chicago
Avenue.
So
people
will
want
to
use
it.
That's
what
they
have
to
go.
They
can't
enter
the
building
from
the
garage.
T
It's
just
us
architectural
II.
Everything
about
it
seemed
like
a
really
terrible
idea
and
that's
sort
of
why
plus
we
didn't
want
to
at
all
base,
because
we
want
the
base
to
be
commensurate
with
the
other
scale,
the
buildings
on
the
block.
That
was
our
intent.
Just
to
make
that
clear.
Someone
else
said
we
don't
want
hundreds
there's
going
to
be
200
more
cars
in
the
alley.
No,
this
is
actually
gonna
be
38
and
more
cars.
That
is
the
exact
number
of
extra
cars
beyond.
What
is
there
now
is
exactly.
T
T
If
I
could
talk
about
the
damage,
their
Clubhouse,
you
know
I'm
a
preservation,
architect,
I've
been
a
preservation
architect
for
mine,
pretty
much
my
whole
career.
My
firm
is
Warrnambool
Bragg
here
or
my
firm
is
one
more
preservation,
Awards
the
city
of
evidence
than
any
other
architect
in
the
history
of
Evanston.
So
we
are
really
concerned
about
the
Frances
Willard
house
and
the
Mayo
house,
next
door,
I
will
say
as
far
as
building
next
to
historic
structures.
They
just
built
a
Hyatt
next
to
this
Chaumont,
which
is
a
historic
building
right
up
to
it.
T
They
do
this
all
the
time
in
Europe
by
the
way,
and
they
do
it
all
over
the
world.
We're
90
almost
90
feet
from
the
wallet
house
and
we're
like
60
feet
from
the
male
building.
The
woman's
Club.
So
to
me,
I
am
not
worried
that
those
buildings
are
going
to
be
somehow
in
danger.
I
think
it's
I
am
aware,
use
the
word
ludicrous.
T
That
sounds
really
mean,
but
but
when
you
see
buildings
going
up
in
every
city
in
the
world
that
are
cheek
to
jowl
with
other
historic
buildings
and
and
nothing
happens
or
very
rarely
happens
if
you're
stupid
right
in
in
the
case
of
the
Hyatt
that
went
right
next
to
the
shaman
I
mean
they.
Actually
they
have
a
party
wall.
I
mean
they're
right
up
against
each
other,
but
the
city
was
very
good.
T
So
I'm
not
saying
it
always
works
out
great
I'm,
just
saying
in
most
of
the
time
it
can
definitely
be
dealt
with,
and
I
also
want
to
mention
that
we
have
promised
before
on
some
occasions
to
both
organizations
that
we
would
put
seismic
monitoring
equipment
on
their
site
just
to
make
sure
and
doubly
sure
that
they're
not
experiencing
any
sort
of
distress
fun
when
we
first
start
putting
foundations
in
to
get
to
the
market
feasibility.
Someone
was
asking
about
well,
how
do
you
know
that
we're
gonna
have
both?
T
What's
your
market
feasibility
or
market
feasibilities
based
on
the
city
of
Evanston's
direct
edict
that
that
to
develop
the
site
we
had
to
make
it
a
Class
A
office
building.
So
this
is
not
something
we
just
came
up
with
the
blue.
This
is
something
the
city
once
and
actually
required.
So
I
just
want
to
also
make
that
clear.
T
So
some
of
the
trees,
they're
shared
and
when
I
say
shared
I,
think
Glen
is
correct,
I
mean
they.
Actually,
if
you
want
to
say,
the
central
line
of
the
trunk
of
the
tree
is
is
truly
Molson
are
on
the
Francis
College
site,
even
though
the
root
balls
and
the
canopies
and
stuff
are
shared,
I
guess
legally
would
say
those
trees
on
their
site.
T
Obviously
we're
trying
to
save
as
many
as
we
can,
but
if
we
can't
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
propose
planting
for
new
10-inch
caliper
35
foot
tall
specimens
on
the
public
Parkway
to
start
with,
and
then
we
would
also
like,
if
we're
also
course
putting
trees
on
our
terrorism.
There's
a
lot
of
trees
on
terraces,
so
it's
that's
the
other
kind
of
positive
we
see,
but
we'd
also
like
to
offer
putting
a
couple
more
10-inch,
caliper
35-foot
tall
specimens
on
the
willard
property.
T
Yes,
this
building
is
taller,
certainly
obviously
than
the
Women's
Club
and
the
Willard
houses,
but
I
want
you
to
keep
in
mind
that
the
Whole
Foods,
for
instance,
here
the
buildings-
are
right
around
us,
Whole
Foods,
it's
25
stories,
the
Evanston
place
apartments
across
the
street
right
across
three
is
ten
stories.
The
the
new
building,
that's
going
to
go
on
the
fountain
lot
and
that
hasn't
been
approved.
The
found
restaurant
site
is
going
to
be
19
stories.
The
counting
billet
condominium
building,
that's
right
next
to
the
willit
properties,
eight
stories
McMath.
T
All
behind
this
is
nine
stories.
The
Carlson
building
is
nine
stories
or
injen
is
11
stories,
and
our
proposed
project
is
13
stories,
so
we
really
do
feel
if
you
look
at
the
at
the
whole
block
and
not
just
this
myopic
sort
of
view
of
just
this
one
thing,
I
think
you
have
to
look
at
the
entire
community
of
buildings
and
not
just
this.
One
thing
and
I
also
want
to
make
the
point
about
zoning.
T
So
going
from
a
residential
six
to
a
d3
is
was
always
sort
of
unspoken,
but
in
the
cards
in
fact,
I
think
he's
actually
in
some
of
the
earlier
sort
of
material
from
the
city
and
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that
the
d3
district
is
right
across
the
alley.
It's
not
like
the
d3
district
is
five
blocks
musts.
It's
literally
on
the
centerline
of
the
alley
behind
our
project,
so
I
think
it's
not
such
a
great
leap
to
think
that
it
might
be
better
as
a
d3
zone
than
our
six.
T
That's
all,
and
the
last
thing
I
mention
if
someone
said
that
our
renderings
were
somehow
misleading
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
that
those
renderings
came
directly
from
hard
line.
Drawings
are
true
to
scale,
and
the
renderings
are
a
rendering
program
that
we
did
not
photoshop
anything
or
misinterpret
or
I.
Should
you
misrepresent
anything
all
those
views
we
see
in
our
and
our
renderings
are
all
true
to
scale
and
and
as
close
as
you
can
get
to
representative
of
what
will
look
like
in
that
medium?
So
alright,
thank.
U
One
was:
how
does
one
access
the
East
Terrace
on
the
building
and
then
the
second
question
is
why
the
the
dumpster
that
you're
drawing
is
quite
large,
dumpster
yeah
and
on
your
your
trash
containers
on
the
back
and
I'm
wondering
you
know
it
that,
as
we
are
kind
of
sensitive
to
the
setbacks
and
the
area
you're
taking
up,
you
know
trying
to
be
efficient
mm-hmm
as
not
to
as
to
maximize
your
parking
and
not
to
encroach
minimize
the
encroachment
on
your
neighbors.
While
maintaining
your
you
know
your
leasable
square
footage.
T
Our
loading
dock
yeah-
that's
the
I'm,
sorry
yeah.
If
it
wasn't
noted
that
way,
I'm
sorry
all
right,
that's
what
is
yeah
okay,
but
because
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
get
we're
trying
to
make
our
loading
dock
big
enough
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
wanted
to
vacate
little
triangle
of
the
alley
is
so
that
we
could
get
that
loin
dock
in
that
position,
so
that
we
could
get
all
of
our
vehicles
out
of
the
alley
pathway
that
was
on
it.
That
was
our
goal
all
right,
and
there
was
the
first
question.
T
If
you
look
at
the
third,
the
first
leasable
floor
plan
from
the
elevator
core,
there
are
corners
that
go
out
to
those
terraces
so
that
anybody
that's
in
the
building
is
a
tank
and
guava
and
have
lunch.
For
instance,
they
might
have
not
have
from
the
parking
deck
level.
Oh
the
one
from
the
parking
deck
that
level
is
inaccessible.
The
one
that's
facing
the
street
is
purely
kind
of
a
way
to
get
a
green
escape.
T
T
We
have
the
diagrams
that
were
in
the
earlier
machination
of
those
we
showed
all
the,
although
semi
trailers,
and
in
fact
I
mean
we
don't
anticipate
there
being
a
semi-trailer
in
our
coming
into
our
dock,
but
you
never
know
so
we
wanted
to
look
at
the
worst-case
scenario.
Okay,
then
we
also
have
fire
truck
diagrams
too.
So
that's
that's.
We
want
to
vet
all
that
now.
U
A
V
T
Could
take
them
to
move
them
someplace
else,
but
and
maybe
they
over
time
they
can
get
bigger
but
and
end
up.
I
don't
want
some
like
a
critic
of
everything
but
I'm
I'm
a
real
tree
lover
and
you
know
I've
put
these
sized
trees
on
my
own
property
and
I
put
them
in
other
projects
too
for
clients,
because
it's
kind
of
an
instant
I
don't
see
a
wild
factor.
T
I
saw
so
it's
easy,
but
yeah,
it's
more
like
instant,
green,
instant,
canopy
I
mean
you
look
at
the
Fountain
Square
and
where
they
put
all
those
boom
sticks
up
and-
and
you
see
these
poor
people
huddling
on
this
tiny
thing
with
18
leaves
trying
to
eat
their
lunch.
The
Summer
Sun
I'm
like
why
didn't
they
put
these
in
size
trees
there
they
spend
so
much
money.
So
we'd
like
to
do
that
and
put
something's
really.
You
know
really
major.
You
know
it's
big.
T
V
Is
there
any
then
thought
about
how
the
building's
gonna
be
the
construction
plan
of
how
it's
going
to
be
constructed
in
which
way
are
they
blocking
off
alley
access
for
that
to
happen,
or
is
it
going
to
be
coming
from
Chicago,
Avenue
I?
Think
it's
more!
You
want
to
talk
about
that
since
there's
a
lot
to
live,
yeah,
yeah.
A
W
A
W
All
right,
while
I'm
up
here
I,
think
I
need
to
address
some
of
the
questions
that
came
up
in
public
comments.
So
if
you
don't
mind
giving
me
two
minutes:
okay,
just
to
Vicki
Burke
and
I
we've,
we
met
two
and
a
half
years
ago.
I
apologize
for
the
last
meeting.
I
didn't
know.
The
president
was
in
I
would
invite
her
to
the
meeting
that
was
at
the
Woman's
Club
I'm.
The
two
questions
that
she
had
were
the
internship
that
was
brought
about.
W
Yes,
she's,
an
education,
the
Shelly
Bates
said:
that's
the
Career
and
Technical
Education
department,
chair
I'm,
allowing
her
to
basically
structure
the
internship
and
she
has
to
run
it
up.
The
flagpole,
but
I
would
encourage
Vicki
because
she's
an
Evan
stone,
Ian
I,
could
set
them
up
together
and
they
can
work
together
on
and
how
that
internships
going
to
be.
As
far
as
the
public
private
public
benefit
for
the
bikes,
we
didn't
pull
that
out
of
the
Hat.
We
met
with
the
Peter.
Well,
the
Evanston
bike
club
president.
W
He
said
what
I
would
do
because
I
ride
my
bike
every
day,
even
in
the
winter
is
I.
Would
if
you'd
liked
don't
make
it
completely
public,
because
you'll
have
you'll
have
homeless,
guys
taking
showers
in
your
public
bike
room,
he
said,
make
it
semi
public
and
he
said
the
only
people
that
are
going
to
use.
It
would
be
any
employees
next
door,
the
Frances
Willard
folks
or
anybody
working
at
the
Women's
Club
and
the
501
C
3
library.
W
The
other
question
came
up
when
we,
the
last
meeting
I
had
with
the
women's
club
their
attorney.
It
was
very
important.
I,
don't
want
to
ruin
a
hundred
years
of
history.
By
doing
a
construction,
I
was
told
by
the
city.
You
can't
we're
not
making
it
precedent,
but
the
idea
of
contingent
business
and
interrupts
and
insurance
came
up
so
John
Daly,
one
of
their
attorneys,
went
and
said
well
I.
You
know
I'm
part
of
an
insurance
company.
You
can't
do
that.
Well,
I
found
an
insurance
company
that
can
so.
W
That
was
what
the
one
I
sent
that
today,
because
it's
an
insurance
company.
They
call
it
like
a
financial
revenue
bond,
but
it
has
a
rider
with
contingent.
It's
it's
a
it's
a
pretty
exotic
insurance
policy.
So
when
I
left
the
Women's
Club,
they
don't
they'd
like
some
indemnification
and
and
and
that's
what
I
found.
So
that's
what
the
letter
that
was
sent
to
them
and
Paul
anything
else.
A
W
Yeah
that
one
so
one
hundred
thirty
thousand-square-foot
industry
standard
is
about
260
square
feet
for
one
hundred
thirty
thousand
square
feet
of
rentable
gives
you
your
full-time
employees,
which
is
roughly
about
five
hundred.
But
when
I
talk
to
the
the
broker
in
the
market
study,
they
said,
look
because
the
Purple
Line
and
the
Metra
are
there.
We
would
expect.
This
is
a
true
Tod
development
whereby
that
number
is
going
to
get
cut.
W
You're
gonna
have
a
significant
amount
of
people
that
are
coming
from
the
city,
okay
as
well,
and
are
gonna
be
able
to
use
the
mass
transit.
So
that's
how
we
calculate
it,
and
then
we
work
with
the
city
to
get
the
parking
count
and
what-have-you.
So,
yes,
there
will
be
roughly
500
FTEs
roughly
I
mean
that
that
all
depends
on
who's
coming
into
the
building
as
well,
because
that
industry
standard
of
260
square
feet
per
rentable
of
130,000,
sometimes
fluid
so
I'm
making
on
the
record.
It
is
an
approximate
it's
it's
rough.
X
We
wouldn't
be
talking
about
the
75
parking
spaces
or
whether
the
turn
from
11
stories
to
13.
We
would
just
be
looking
at
the
development
what's
proposed
pursuant,
what's
proposed
versus
what
is
what
is
allowed
and
how
that
affects
the
the
surrounding
area.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
mean
it's
my
inclination
to
take
into
account
275
spaces
being
required,
but
I'm
wondering
whether
that's
within
our
purview
or,
if
that's
something,
that's
ultimately
going
to
be
determined
and
decided
by
the
aldermen
of
the
City
Council.
Y
Mário
Trudeau
deputy
city
attorney
do
with
respect
to
the
consideration
of
the
agreement.
That's
within
the
jurisdiction
of
the
City
Council,
so
they'll
be
taking
that
into
account
with
respect
to
the
Planning
Commission.
You
would
review
this
as
you
would
any
other
planned
development
and
looking
at
the
standards
that
are
proposed
in
the
city
code,
I'm,
so
really
just
making
sure
that
while
you're
reviewing
it
you're
taking
those
standards
into
account
and
really
staying
within
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Pine
Commission.
A
U
Sure,
as
you
know,
I've
studied
this.
You
know,
since
we
first
saw
it
went
through
the
drawings
very
carefully
kind
of
tried
to
understand
what
was
going
on,
why
it
took
the
form
that
it
did.
I
asked
the
question
at
the
last
meeting:
I
I
I'm,
not
convinced
that
this
building
has
any
precedent.
It
doesn't
it
I,
don't
understand
it
why
it
looks
the
way
it
does.
U
U
I
mean
it
it
it's
it's
going
to
be
significantly
tower
taller
than
its
adjacent
neighbors
and
the
the
the
look
of
the
building
the
facade
I
I'm,
just
not
convinced
that
it
it
fits
or
that
it's
appropriate
I,
think
the
setbacks
for
these
terraces
are
I'm,
not
quite
sure
what
the
what
the
payoff
is
on
that
I.
Don't
quite
understand
why
they're
there
I
you
know
in
looking
at
your
plan.
The
column
spacing
is,
is.
U
U
You
know
it's
it's
it's
not
my
fault.
You
know
I'm
trying
to
read
these
drawings
as
they're
presented
and
I'm,
taking
my
own
time
to
do
so
so
other
other
petitioners
follow
that
that
rule
you
know
when,
when
you
get
a
package,
I
shouldn't
have
to
ask
a
clarifying
question
of
a
very
basic
information.
U
I'm
glad
that,
on
the
main
floor
that
you
move
the
column
out
of
the
toilet,
that
was
good,
but,
however,
in
doing
so
now,
you're
creating
a
transfer
beam
and
the
last
time
I,
checked,
transfer
beams
are
quite
expensive
and
I'm
I.
Don't
I'm,
not
convinced
that
this
is
thought
through
in
terms
of
creating
an
efficient
office
plan
that
justifies
the
ask
because
I
don't
think
the
the
proper
due
diligence
has
been
done
to
make
this
an
efficient
office
building.
U
Z
Yeah
I
have
different
set
of
problems
with
this
site.
This
proposal.
We
we
know
that
the
city
wants
an
office
building
on
the
site.
This
is
what
they
asked
for
proposals,
so
the
city
is
committed
to
putting
some
kind
of
office
building
on
this
site,
but
when
we
get
a
project
like
this,
that's
asked
for
a
lot
of
variations.
We
generally
get
something
back.
You
know
we
get
up
a
little
Park
area
or.
Z
V
I'm,
looking
over
the
traffic
studies,
I
do
think
that
there's
been
a
good
case
for
the
use
of
the
alley
that
the
fire
truck
has
gone
through
it
and
they've
signed
off
on
it.
It
is
currently
parking
so
I'm
not
as
concerned
about
adding
parking
as
part
of
the
structure
so
that
one
I'm
feeling
more
comfortable
with
for
me,
that's
the
fitting
in
with
the
rest
of
the
character
on
Chicago
and
not
having
that
side
setback,
and
it's
going
lot
basically
lots
a
lot
to
me.
V
It
seems
like
that
will
be
an
issue
with
these
two
neighboring
properties.
A
discussion
on
those
trees
that
are
they
are
adjacent.
It
has
to
do
with
the
route
protection
area
of
those
trees
can
be
saved.
They
probably
will
not
be
saved
because
it's
so
close
to
those
property
lines.
If
it
did
have
a
setback
of
15
feet,
it
is
much
more
likely
that
you
could
save
those
trees.
So
that's
one
thing
as
well
as,
as
commissioner
Goddard
just
said,
you
know
providing
some
open
space.
V
I
think
we
do
need
to
see
something
as
part
of
that
I
understand
that
you're
trying
to
make
it
as
efficient
as
possible,
but
it
is
probably
a
problem
with
the
brief
that
to
try
to
get
as
much
as
parking
as
you
want.
You've
got
to
have
all
these
extra
levels
I'm
just
struggling
with
that
personally
and
thinking
how
this
is
how
this
is
going
to
work.
So.
X
X
Don't
know
I,
guess
that's
why
you
you
haven't
heard
much
for
me
because
it's
I'm
I'm
conflicted
on
it.
A
Zoning
to
me
to
allow
you
know
an
office
use
I
have
to
say
that
that
you
know
office
use
is
something
that
I
think
Evans
then
really
needs.
We,
we
create
a
were
essentially
treating
our
Tod
s,
in
my
opinion,
to
be
to
be
a
bedroom
community
and
not
a
destination
and
I.
Think
our
businesses,
especially
downtown,
could
thrive
from
from
having
having
having
office
workers
here
for
the
lunch
trade
and
all
the
businesses
during
the
during
the
work
day.
A
So
again,
as
commissioner
Isaac
says
that
that's
the
conflicting
conflicting
bit
I,
just
don't
think
that
office
on
this
site
is
really
compatible
with
the
area
that
is
not
only
residential
but
also
contains,
is
a
row
of
three
historically
registered
buildings.
So
I
think
that's
really
my
my
main
point.
So
if
there
are
no
other
comments,
I'd
like
to
ask
that
staff
pull
up
the
the
I
think
there
are.
There
are
the
requirements,
standards
for
approval
that
are
cited.
A
A
A
A
A
Z
A
X
I
would
I
would
agree
that
the
care
that
an
office
building
next
to
are
on
that
side
of
the
street
would
be
out
of
character
with
with
the
existing
structures.
However,
the
existing
structures,
while
some
of
them
may
have
at
some
time,
have
been
residential
they're
not
currently
used
as
residential.
But
I.
Take
your
point
and
agree
that,
when
looking
at
the
looking
at
the
street
as
a
whole
with
the
office
building
there,
it
would
be
out
of
place.
A
All
right
whether
the
proposed
men
will
have
an
adverse
effect
on
the
value
of
adjacent
properties.
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
evidence,
that's
been
presented
that
is
factual
to
that.
So
I
would
say
that
it's
acceptable
and
the
adequacy
of
public
facilities
and
services
has
been
testified
so
in
the
in
the
staff
report.
Q
A
A
It
will
it
will
not
cause
a
negative
cumulative
effect
when
it's,
when
its
effect
is
considered
in
conjunction
with
the
cumulative
effect
of
various
special
uses
and
all
types
on
the
immediate
neighborhood
and
the
effect
in
purposes
of
the
type
the
special
use
upon
the
city
as
a
whole,
but
I
don't
believe
that
it
adversely
affects
the
city
as
a
whole.
It's
the
immediate
vicinity.
So
it's
not
the
cumulative
effect.
A
It
does
not
interfere
or
diminish
the
value
of
property
in
the
neighborhood
I,
don't
know
if
they're
I,
don't
think,
there's
been
anything
presented
that
it
would
say
that
that's
the
case,
it
can
be
adequately
served
by
public
facilities
that
does
not
cause
undue
traffic
congestion.
There
is
a
report
that
says
that,
although
neighbors
are
concerned
with
that,
that
traffic
is
able
the
streets
are
able
to
handle
it,
it
preserves
significant
historic
and
architectural
resources.
A
A
It
preserves
the
significant
Natural,
Resources
environment
and
teachers.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
applicable
it.
It
complies
with
all
other
applicable
regulations
in
the
district
in
which
it
is
located
and
other
applicable
ordinances,
except
to
such
extent
that
the
regulations
have
been
modified
through
the
planned
development
process
and
the
grant
of
the
variation.
Well,
that's
for
us
to
decide
and
I
I
think
it
does
wood
meat
meat
that
if
we
adopt
it
so
what's
the.
A
As
especially
use
plan
development
involves
such
special
considerations
of
the
public
interest
that
it
shall
be
required
to
adhere
to
the
specific
to
plan
development
standards
established
in
the
zoning
district
in
which
it
is
located.
Compliance
with
the
standards
shall
govern
the
recommendations
of
the
plan
commission
applicable
to
a
plan,
development
and
the
action
of
the
City
Council
in
order
to
ensure
well
in
short,
that
if
it
is,
if
we
do,
if
we
do
consider
it
rezone
I
think
is
the
interpretation.
If
we
do
grant
the
redistricting,
then
it
would
be
compile
compliant.
E
A
I
A
Right-
and
it
does
say
in
the
staff
report
that
that
it
is,
although
it's
compatible
with
larger
downtown
area,
they,
the
staff
is
stating
that
the
height
bulk
and
scale
of
the
proposed
project
is
significantly
greater
than
that
of
the
adjacent
landmark
properties
within
an
r6
zoning
district.
So
so
I
would
say
that
that
it
is,
you
know
if
it's
a
binary
decision,
it's
not
satisfied,
but
in
in
general
context,
didn't
like
be
satisfied,
so
so
we're
that
considered.
B
A
Each
plan
development
shall
have
insurance
the
identity
character
of
the
downtown
possible,
the
greater
giving
of
buildings
enhancing
the
existing
streetscape
amenities.
Well,
we
can
say
that
that's
met
each
client.
Development
shall
be
compatible
with
the
implement
of
the
up
of
the
comprehensive
general
plan,
as
amended.
A
Taxable
land
I.
We
basically
have
said
that
number
three
is
that
each
plan
development
shall
be
completed
within
two
years
of
the
issuance.
Well,
that's
something
to
be
seen
all
landscaping
treatment
within
the
plan.
Development
shall
be
provided
in
accordance
with
the
requirements
that
set
forth
in
Chapter.
Seventeen
has
that
been
specifically
addressed
by
staff.
Does
it
meet
the
requirements
of
chapter
seventeen
landscaping
with
the
issues.
A
A
Right
and
I
believe
I
skipped
number
one.
Each
plan
development
shall
be
compatible
with
the
surrounding
development
and
not
you
have
such
a
nature
of
height,
bulk
and
scale.
This
exercise
any
influence,
contrary
to
the
purpose
and
intent
of
the
zoning
ordinances
set
forth
in
Section.
A
six
one
two
proposed
intent
is
to
propose
planned
development
for
a
property
listed
as
an
Evanston
landmark
or
for
property
located
within
a
historic
district
listed
on
the
National
Register
of
Historic,
Places
or
property
located
at
historic
district,
so
designated
by
Evanston
plan
commissioned
Preservation
Commission.
A
The
plan
development
shall
be
compatible
with
the
Secretary
of
Interior
standards
for
rehabilitation,
so
that
so
so
is
just
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
that's
addressing
simply
if
it
involves
a
historic
property
itself,
not
that
it's
with
it,
not
that
it's
adjacent.
The
historic
district
does
not
extend
to
this
property,
even
though
it's
flanked
by
it.
Okay,
so
it
does.
It
does
meet
that
standard.
I.
Think.
X
From
a
planned
development
perspective,
you
know,
the
the
height
is
big
for
a
downtown
building,
but
not
huge.
The
parking
is
is
I
would
say
way
off
from
a
planned
development
perspective,
but
it
from
the
comments
that
I've
heard
from
from
the
commissioners
here
it
sounds
to
me
like
the
biggest
issue,
is
whether
the
the
lot
should
be
rezone
from
residential
to
a
downtown
business
district,
and
if
we
can't
get
there,
then
whether
it
meets
the
standards
for
plan
development
are
our
mood.
