corrections,
otherwise
all
those
in
favor
aye
any
opposed.
Thank
you
items
for
consideration.
We
have
only
one
tonight
that
is
ordinate
16
0,
16
plan
development,
831
emerson
street.
The
plan
commission
and
staff
recommended
option
of
ordnance,
16
0
16
for
approval
of
the
plan
development
with
rezoning
from
c1,
commercial
and
r5
general
residential
to
c
1,
a
commission,
commercial
mixed-used
and
special
use
for
a
convenience
store,
the
12-story,
26,
sorry,
12-story,
260
unit
residential
building
with
forty
four
bedrooms
would
include
3,300
Square
feet
of
ground-floor
commercial
space
and
then
145
parking
spaces.
A
D
Going
to
second,
because
I
was
told
by
alderman
fits
that
the
developers
would
like
to
have
another
community
meeting
and
so
based
upon
that
I
would
second
it
provided
that
the
people
who
come
out
tonight
to
speak
would
be
allowed
to
also
go
ahead
and
speak
I.
Think
that
would
be
for
the
residents,
because
I
did
not
like
to
inconvenience
them.
I
I'm
not
sure
that's
appropriate.
C
A
D
A
B
E
I
would
just
like
to
make
sure
that
if
alderman,
this
does
not
receive
her
second
right
now,
her
motion
does
not
fail
for
for
want
of
a
second.
So
perhaps
we
should
get
clarification
on
that
from
Miss
Mason
cup
in
order
to
hold
it
to
the
next
committee
meeting.
The
motion
needs
a
second
or
if,
if
we
wanted
to
hear
from
the
community,
then
alderman
fists
could
withdraw
her
motion
until
after
the
community
spoke
and
she
could
renew
it
like.
B
G
B
A
B
G
The
approved
ordinance
that
went
into
effect
on
january
first,
which
this
project
is
not
tied
to
because
they
filed
prior
to
that
day,
but
under
the
new
ordinance
it
would
be
ten
percent,
so
it'd
be
2.6
million.
It
be
I'm
sorry
hundred
thousand
per
unit.
Ten
percent
of
the
units
would
be
26
unit,
so.
G
B
Right,
well,
here's
an
interesting
problem
with
that:
let's
just
use
even
numbers
and
200
units,
and
these
are
units
that
are
300
an
average
of
350
square
feet.
I
think
when
you
add
them
all
up
and
average
them
I.
Something
like
that
did
I
read
that.
So
let's
say
this
was
a
luxury
building
with
3,000
square
feet
units
the
fancy
luxury
building
would
be
paying
far
less
than
the
cramped
350
square
feet
building
because
it
would
be
based
on
units
right
all.
B
We
need
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
I
think
this
race
is
just
such
an
amazing
question,
because
the
multimillionaires
will
be
living
in
the
big
fancy
units
paying
less
for
affordable
housing
than
the
poor
students
who
are
jammed
into
200
units
in
this
building.
So
I
think
we
need
to
immediately
take
off
the
table.
B
The
whole
issue
of
an
additional
500
thousand
at
this
time,
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that,
because
that's
how
I
thought
it
was
based
on
the
number
of
units,
so
the
more
units
you
have
the
more
you
pay,
but
you
could
have
very
tiny
all
studios
as
a
matter
of
fact,
and
but
then,
if
you
had
large
deluxe
units,
you
would
pay
less.
Okay,
that
sure
doesn't.
H
B
A
Right,
like
I
said
we
have
10
speakers
horses
and
comment.
We
are
tradition
ears
to
hold,
become
it
23
minutes,
which
is
a
lot
longer
than
you
actually
might
realize,
and
while
people
are
speaking,
please
be
respectful
of
their
their
time.
The
first
three
people
are
Liz
till
death,
Lisa
builders,
I'm,
sorry,
Regina,
Henry
and
Liz
Looby.
So
I'm,
really!
Sorry,
if
you
would
repeat
your
name
when
you
come
up
so
I'm,
not
entering
something
wrong
into
the
record.
Lisa.
I
Peel
this
I
live
at
23
27,
Park
Place,
we're
owners
of
several
properties
in
the
first
and
the
fifth
Ward's
we
lived
in
the
fireman's
part
neighborhood
of
the
fifth
Ward
for
36
years
and
raised
our
three
kids
there
and
last
year's
empty
nesters.
We
moved
to
the
sixth
ward
I,
have
several
issues
with
831
Emerson,
the
property
at
northwest
corner
of
emerson
and
Sherman.
The
first
is
the
extension
of
downtown
north
of
Emerson's,
its
traditional
boundary.
We
in
the
fireman's
Park
neighborhood
were
recently
surprised
without
any
consultation
with
residents.
I
Property
owners
are
apparently
at
least
one
alderman.
The
city
would
like
to
gobble
up
our
entire
neighborhood
in
parts
of
the
first
second
and
seventh
Ward's
for
at
if
it
variously
calls
this
area
downtown,
although
extends
north
of
Emerson
all
the
way
to
colfax
or
maple
foster,
although
it
extends
all
the
way
from
Ridge
to
Sherman.
You
may
ask
why
I'm
bringing
up
the
TIF
at
a
meeting
about
831
Emerson?
Well,
their
property
at
Emerson
and
Sherman
is
smack
dab
in
the
middle
of
this
proposed
tiff
area,
and
that
january
twentieth.
I
Memo
to
the
economic
development
committee
treats
831
emerson
as
a
fait
accompli
residents
are
concerned.
That
831
is
only
the
beginning,
represents
a
slippery
slope
which
breaks
the
traditional
downtown
northern
boundary
and
gives
special
exceptions
to
a
private
developer
for
zoning
rules,
living
space
ratios
parking,
spaces,
etc.
If
the
city
thinks
it's
time
to
have
a
big
thing
about
the
area
bounded
by
Grove,
Sherman,
Colfax
and
bridge
then
should
not
be
rezoning
land
willy-nilly,
just
because
some
developer
is
asking.
I
When
is
it
if
needed,
when
property
is
not
desirable
enough
on
its
own
merits,
to
attract
private
developers,
see
what
I'm
saying
either?
This
is
valuable
property
in
downtown
evanston,
which
ought
to
be
marketed
as
such,
rather
than
giving
it
up
as
a
private
dorm
space
or
its
TIFF
eligible,
in
which
case
it
should
be
part
of
a
larger
discussion
about
what
the
city
variously
calls
downtown
or
maple
foster.
I
The
developers
are
correct
when
they
call
a
31
a
unique
housing
option
in
Evanston,
because
it
would
be
evanston's
first
private
dorm.
The
developers
may
try
to
pretty
it
up
with
talk
about
it,
also
being
for
young
professionals,
but
let's
face
it.
Young
professionals
have
been
there
and
done
that.
The
last
thing
they
want
after
graduation
is
to
live
in
a
dorm
sized
room
in
a
building
with
filled
with
college
students.
The
city
has
not
allowed
any
new
University
building
west
of
sheridan
road
to
preserve
the
residential
character
of
the
neighborhood.
I
I
What
happens
if
the
present
company
decides?
It
does
not
want
the
building
anymore.
It's
said
in
one
of
its
earlier
presentations.
I
was
at
that
it
only
owns
I
think
about
sixty
percent
of
the
buildings
it's
built.
Who
would
want
this
building
filled
with
micro
units
in
a
dearth
of
parking
spaces?
It
can
only
be
a
private
dorm.
Well,
northwestern
might
like
it.
Of
course,
the
property
taxes
and
affordable
housing
contribution
might
look
tempting
now,
but
what,
if
menu,
buys
it
and
takes
it
off
the
tax
rolls?
I
J
Hello,
so
my
first
comment
was
an
agreement.
Evanston
can
do
much
better,
we
don't
mind
they're
being
a
development
at
831
Emerson.
We
don't
want
this
type
of
development.
A
perfect
example
was
like
there's
going
to
be
a
senior
assisted
place
out
by
Ridge.
If
we
had
that
across
the
street
from
us,
that
would
be
great
because
those
people
would
be
able
to
get
to
the
downtown
shops.
They
could
do
business
there.
They
could
get
to
the
transportation
it
would
fit
with
this
dorm.
J
J
Also,
the
we
do
not
like
the
fact
that
the
number
of
people
that
are
going
to
live
there,
446
people
across
the
street
from
me
I
think,
is
a
lot
of
people.
I
have
been
woken
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
but
the
thing
is
there
are
going
to
be
bicycles,
there's
going
to
be
cars,
there's
going
to
be
pedestrians.
J
Emerson
is
a
very
busy
traffic
street.
There
are
problems
we
have
ambulances
and
fire
trucks
coming
to
symphony.
All
the
time
they
use
that
alley,
they
use
the
street.
Finally,
one
or
one
person
said
something
about
their
other
tall
buildings
on
Emerson,
so
this
fits
in.
If
you
look
at
the
tall
buildings,
we
have
their
to
HUD
buildings
and
a
northwestern
dorm.
These
are
buildings
that
were
built
in
the
1970s
they've
been
there
for
years,
their
special
use
buildings,
so
they
should
not
count
towards
the
community.
J
So
if
you
walk
down
Emerson
and
look
you'll
be
lucky,
if
you
see
a
three
or
a
four
story,
building
on
north
of
Emerson,
it
just
doesn't
fit.
You
know
we
like
the
fact
that
there
are
homes,
people
you
know,
trees
all
of
that
stuff.
This
is
just
too
much
for
this
area
and
finally,
northwestern
said
they
do
not
need
this.
They
don't
want
this.
So
why
doesn't
a
different
developer
or
the
same
developer
come
up
with
a
plan
that
people
could
go
along
with
so
I
also
asked
you
to
vote
against
this.
K
Liz
Looby
and
I
live
at
721
foster
street
I've
lived
in
evanston
for
48
years.
I
want
to
reiterate
what
the
two
women
just
said
before
me,
and
I
just
have
a
couple
of
bill
that
bullet
points
a
dorm.
This
is
a
whole
new
concept
of
a
private,
dorm
and
I
understand.
This
builder
is
building
ones
on
campuses
at
Madison
and
champagne,
two
very
different
sites
than
Evanston
they're
building
them
in
the
area
around
those
two
campuses.
This
isn't
this
isn't
a
northwestern
type
of
thing.
K
I
did
get
a
remark-
handed
it
to
you,
folks
that
the
head
of
residential
housing
at
Northwestern
said
that
they
have
a
ten-year
plan
for
building
residences
on
campus.
They
have
nothing
to
do
with
this.
They
have
no
statement
to
make
about
it
because
they
have
nothing
to
do
with
it
and
I
sent
that
all
to
you
alderman
two
months
ago,
my
objections
number
a
dorm,
think
about
it.
It's
a
SRO
is
in
our
mind
three
unknown
people
living
together.
I
didn't!
Can
you
imagine
how
you
work
that
out?
K
The
purpose
is
lousy
traffic
problems
very
serious,
just
go
down
Emerson
during
the
traffic
zone
times
and
realize
now,
you're
going
to
add
how
many
bikes,
how
many
kids
on
skateboards
and
they
will
be
on
skateboards
or
their
other
ridiculous
forms
of
transportation.
That's
so
dangerous
in
the
middle
of
that
busy
street.
They
will
some
have
cars
and
there's
supposed
to
be
some
issue
about
where
the
cars
are
going
to
be
parked
in
the
Maple
Street
Garage.
K
Just
the
theater
know
that
there's
the
city
rents
of
these
things
out
to
things
other
than
that's
a
big
question
mark
in
my
mind,
I
want
to
be
able
to
park
my
car
in
that
lock
as
I
pay
the
taxes
when
I
go
to
the
theater
and
who
are
these
students
who
are
renting
this
dorm,
the
next
the
adaptability
of
the
building.
If
the
concept
doesn't
work,
if
they
don't,
but
they
can't
rent
their
beds
out
what
happens
to
that?
Building?
K
It's
not
going
to
be
a
very
adaptable
floor
pill
and
to
maybe
turn
it
into
two
apartments
per
floor.
It
would
probably
take
a
lot
of
constructions
and
who's
going
to
do
that,
who's
going
to
who's
going
to
oversee
the
the
residents.
There
was
some
talk
of
a
person
on
each
floor
overseeing
the
is
there
an
age
limit
or
they
have
to
be
21
to
live
in
that
building
or
18
who's
going
to
manage
the
building
like
Resident
dorm
people
do
on
college
campuses.
There's
no
precedent
in
evanston
for
a
building
like
this
I.
K
Don't
think
this
is
the
one
that
you
begin
it
and
the
other
thing
that
I
have
to
comment
on
my
first
plan
commission
was
this
fall.
I
was
so
disappointed
in
their
reaction
to
do
our
objections
to
this
place.
What
is
the
purpose
of
the
plan
commission
and
one
of
the
bullet?
They
were
going
on
about
their
standards
of
approval.
One
of
the
items
was
it
ever
regard
for
the
neighborhood?
K
F
I'm
Robert
Pearson
I
live
at
1864,
Sherman
gardens.
I
would
like
to
say
how
about?
If
we
stop
saying,
is
a
dorm
full
of
students
but
say
it's
going
to
be
basically
trenchant
housing.
What
does
that
do
for
the
stability
of
the
Evanston
neighborhood?
There
is
going
to
be
a
complete
change
over
year
after
year.
Bed
by
bed
is
that
be
conducive
to
actually
stabilizing
Evanston,
which
already
appears
to
be
that
way.
It's
good
family
place.
It's
good
young
professionals,
good
single
people,
so
I
don't
get
it
anyway,
transient
rather
than
student.
F
Let's
see
student
housing
isn't
needed.
They
want
us
to
think
it
is,
but
it's
not
Northwestern's
not
interested
they're
going
to
be
covering
it
on
their
own
property.
Why
are
we
doing
edge
and
I?
Hear
people
come
up
here
time
after
time
and
ask
questions,
but
nobody
ever
volunteers,
an
answer?
It's
like
there's
no
answers
other
than
money.
L
Hi,
my
name
is
Judith
Siegel
and
I
live
at
800
elgin
and
so
we're
located
very
close
to
this
new
development
about
a
block
and
a
half
away,
and
basically
I
agree
with
everything
that
the
other
speakers
have
already
said,
and
I
don't
want
to
repeat
those
things.
I
think
those
are
all
valid
objections
to
this
building.
I
want
to
bring
up
a
slightly
different
issue
in
opposition's
of
the
building,
and
we
have
recently
relocated
to
evanston.
L
L
The
proposed
new
building,
if
it
happened,
would
require
several
variances
from
the
existing
zoning
code
and
I
just
want
to
raise
the
issue
that
I
think
it
would
be
desirable
for
evanston
to
have
a
long-term
plan
for
future
development
that
people
could
count
on
where
they
wouldn't
continually
be
variances
from
the
zoning
code
and
where
citizens
would
know
what
the
rules
were
and
be
protected
by
those
rules.
So,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
H
Sorry
well
I'm,
obviously
going
to
go
against
the
grain
a
little
bit
here.
I
believe
something
needs
to
be
done
with
the
property.
That's
for
sure,
I'm
not
sold
on
the
concept,
but
I
do
think
of
it.
Something
is
done.
The
focus
people
ought
to
be
given
consideration.
I
live
at
807
davis.
They
build
a
beautiful
property
for
us
and
I
I
do
think
that
it'd
be
beneficial
to
do
something
with
that
property,
whether
it's
this
or
not.
I
I
couldn't
comment
on
it.
That's
all
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
Thank.

Was
very
good,

831
Emerson
has
been
owned
by

90
years

during
World
War
one.
My

itchin,
opened
up
perfecto
cleaners,
which
started
at
1738
Sherman
in
1926.
My
grandfather
purchased
the
parcels
of
property
which
make
up
8
15
to
8
31
Emerson
and
moved
his
business
to
that
location.
M
Perfecto
cleaners
remained
a
family
business
till
2004
I
grew
up
at
eight
nineteen
Emerson,
which
was
a
home
which
was
right
there.
It's
no
longer
there.
Now,
I'm
a
proud
product
of
the
evanston
school
district
and
a
graduate
of
e
THS
in
1969
perfecto
corners
LLC,
which
owns
a
31,
is
owned
by
my
two
aunts
and
my
mother
Carol
Lipton,
and
she
is
the
managing
director.
My
mom
lives
at
2350
Norrington,
my
mom's
maiden
name
is
Swanson
and
her
family
dates
back
to
the
early
settlers.
M
M
My
grandma
Swanson's
father,
George
Stiles,
was
a
fireman
in
evanston
and,
along
with,
are
with
another
gentleman
were
killed
in
a
fire
in
1905.
My
great-grandfather
and
two
other
firemen
are
mentioned
at
the
monument
dedicated
to
the
Fallen
Firefighters
at
fireman
park
on
the
corner
of
maple
and
Simpson.
As
you
can
see,
my
family
has
long
and
proud
history
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
M
Upon
my
father's
passing
in
2012
and
my
uncle's
passing
the
next
year,
we
started
the
process
of
selling
the
property
we
met
with
several
developers,
and
we
listened
to
many
different
ideas
for
the
property
after
consultation
and
due
diligence
with
a
broker
jim
nash,
we
settled
on
the
concept
brought
to
us
by
focus.
We
chose
to
work
with
focus
because
of
their
warm
wonderful
reputation
and,
like
several
other,
most
likes
level
of
the
most
recent
projects.
M
It
also
was
comforting
to
know
that
the
president
of
focus
along
with
two
of
their
executives
live
in
Evanston,
so
they
have
a
fond
appreciation
of
the
city.
In
closing,
my
family
has
owned
and
conducted
business
in
evanston
for
almost
a
century
1831
Emerson
to
1831
Emerson
to
the
hip.
Shin
family
has
a
wonderful
history,
but
it
is
time
for
this
property
to
be
put
to
better
use.
M
N
Hi,
my
name
is
Mike
Sarah
Louie
2327,
Park
Place,
my
wife
is
Lisa,
so
I'll
leave
out
the
personal
history.
A
couple
of
points
I
wanted
to
make.
First
of
all,
there
is
a
sense
in
which
any
private
dorm,
like
this
or
any
dormitory,
would
be
a
focus
of
criticism
based
on
the
whole
issue
that
comes
up
with
respect
to
students
and
I.
Don't
think
students
are
a
problem
here.
I,
don't
think
students
are
the
enemy,
but
I
do
wonder
about
the
proposed
usage
of
the
space.
N
It
is
a
private
dormitory
that
northwestern
hasn't
said
is
necessary.
You
will
recall
that
right
down
the
street,
the
e2
building
was
recently
built.
They
built
it
with
an
idea
that
they
were
going
to
market
it
to
young
professionals,
so
we're
going
to
go
downtown
on
the
train
and
they
came
back
to
the
city
after
a
while
and
said,
oh
by
the
way
that
didn't
work.
So
now
we
want
to
reconfigure
that
the
apartments
in
that
building,
so
we
can
rent
to
students
and
already
they've,
got
some
issues
with.
N
You
know
some
of
the
issues
there,
but,
and
what
is
true
is-
and
if
you
were
here
for
the
presentation
by
the
e2
manager,
they
don't
have
much
control
over
the
student
behavior.
So
while
the
vast
majority
of
students
are
responsible
and
good
kids
and
don't
cause
problems,
some
will
cause
problems
now,
if
that
happens
in
the
northwestern
dorm,
northwestern
has
control
over
it.
N
But
if
it
doesn't
hip,
if
it
happens
at
a
private
property,
a
private
landlord
has
much
less
ability
to
control
those
kinds
of
problems
when
they
crop
up
northwestern
has
said
that
they
didn't
believe
they
would
ever
be
allowed
to
build
west
of
sheridan
road
any
more
than
they
already
have,
whether
it
would
be
dormitories
or
other
buildings,
and
the
sort
of
question
arises
so
that
they
couldn't
build
this
building.
They
don't
think
they
can
build
a
building.
31
Emerson
there
would
be
a
dormitory
for
their
students.
N
So
why
is
it
that
a
private
developer,
who
will
have
less
control
over
what
actually
occurs?
There
should
be
allowed
to
build
a
dormitory?
That
could
be
a
problem
if
it's
not
successful,
and
even
if
it
is
successfully
of
much
less
control
over
problems
that
if
there
arise
out
of
the
building
one
of
the
oddest
things
about
this
is
the
tax
incentive
financing
proposal
that
came
out.
That
was
then.
N
N
N
B
O
O
Raynox
was
born
in
1932
in
mccomb,
mississippi
the
seventh
child
of
eight
children.
His
family
quickly
migrated
to
the
north
and
was
one
of
the
first
black
families
in
the
town
of
wheaton
ray
began
to
show
extraordinary
talent
and
promised
with
baseball
and
was
offered
a
chance
to
play
for
one
of
the
many
Negro
semi
pro
teams.
At
fourteen.
Don't
tell
our
kids
to
start.
O
Becoming
one
of
the
youngest
players
ever,
he
then
began
to
travel
with
Chicago
American
Giants
exclusively
barnstorming
through
the
Midwest
south,
an
Appalachian
valley,
accompanied
by
his
older
brother
as
his
chaperone.
Well,
that's
good.
You
had
a
chaperone
I'm
feeling
that
he
played
against
her
new
Ernie
Banks,
Minnie,
Minoso
and
Hank
Aaron,
and
says
that
he
knew
that
Jackie
was
the
right
man
for
the
job
ray
not
only
persevered
through
the
segregated
1950s,
but
he
also
managed
to
raise
six
children
after
his
wife
died
while
giving
birth
to
their
last
child
in
1963.
O
He
has
lived
in
Evanston
for
the
past
40
years.
We
just
found
out
about
this.
He
also
worked
in
Evanston
as
a
manager
at
Ken's
cleaners
at
dumpster
in
Elmwood
for
35
years
until
he
retired.
He
now
travels
around
the
country
to
major
league
parks,
festivals
and
memorabilia
shows
promoting
baseball,
signing,
autographs
and
sharing
stories
from
his
illustrious
past
in
the
Negro
Leagues.
His
legacy
is
now
secure
at
the
negro
league
baseball
museum
in
kansas
city
missouri,
and
I
am
honored
and
delighted
to
present
you.
The
key
to
the
city
of
Evanston.
P
On
behalf
of
raynox,
family
I
met
him
about
five
years
ago
at
church
at
riverplace
church
and
someone
said
you
gotta
meet
this
guy's
got
a
story,
so
we
sat
down
and
we
talked
a
little
bit
and
I
was
elated.
Just
city
and
I
took
him
around
to
the
leavey
center
and
to
as
many
elementary
schools
as
we
could
get
in
and
and
I
wanted
children
to
see
his
legacy
and
see
who
he
was
not
only
as
a
baseball
player,
but
as
a
man
and
how
he
how
well
he
took
care
of
himself.
P
He
can
still
do
push-ups
this
guy's.
At
one
point
he
had,
he
had
18
inch.
Arms
I'll
have
to
show
you
a
picture
that
about
30
years
ago
they're
there
they're
roughly
about
14
inches
right
now,
but
he
still
still
works
out
very
rigorously,
but
just
a
fine,
fine
person
and
I'm
very
proud
to
know
him
and
I
wanted
the
city
to
know
his
story
and
also
celebrate
him
and
give
him
his
flowers.
Why
can
smell?
How
about
that?
Let's
give
it
up.
Let's
get
up
for
madam
mayor.
P
P
D
A
Q
Thank
You
alderman,
ten,
damn
I'm
gerry
semen,
jerome
semen.
I
live
at
1856,
sherman
avenue.
I
really
want
to
talk
about
this
as
a
very
speculative
development
at
831
emerson
street
you're,
going
to
put
the
convenience
store,
basically
on
the
side
by
the
alley.
The
way
that
warden
says
it's
supposed
to
face.
Q
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
you
know
the
whole
thing
is
based
upon
a
lot
of
money-
a
million
dollars
here,
a
million
dollars
in
in
in
real
estate
taxes
and
and
there
seems
to
be
a
bias
in
favor
of
a
development
that
grossly
exceeds
the
standards
even
established
by
the
by
the
by
the
ordinance
for
this
particular
zoning
and
plus
the
fact
that
this
is
a
very
speculative
development.
You
don't
know
somebody
pointed
out
about
the
e2
development,
not
developing
out
the
way
people
planned
it.
Q
This
is
a
very
dense
plan
in
a
very
congested
place
right
alongside
the
CTA
rail
road
tracks,
and
there
is
18
restricted
parking
places
within
a
block
of
the
place,
you're,
reducing
the
parking
from
400
square
400
feet,
400
parking
places
to
a
hundred
and
forty-five
or
something
in
that
bourhood
and
you're
also
you're,
also
requiring
them
to
rent
spaces
at
the
eighteen-hundreds
paint.
Maple
Street.
Now
that's
only
three
tenths
of
a
mile
or
a
six-minute
walk,
but
you
know
it
does
get
cold.
Q
I
walked
over
here
from
1856
and
I'm
73
years
old,
and
it's
a
difficult
walk,
particularly
going
north
and
west
it'll
be
a
little
more
comfortable
going
south
and
east,
but
I
wanted
to
point
out
those
those
those
difficulties.
I.
Also
wonder
whether
or
not
it's
legal
to
restrict
the
parking
restricting
residents
from
having
parking
privileges
on
the
street
at
all.
That
seems
to
reduce
the
the
people
who
live
in
this
apartment.
These
transients
to
you
know
to
second-class
citizens
who
are
going
to
live
in
these
small
apartments,
whether
they're,
northwestern
students
or
whatever.
Q
R
Hello
I.
Second,
a
lot
of
the
comments
were
raised
and
I'm
very
grateful
that
we
have
a
forum
like
this.
We
can
ask
the
Commission
the
mayor
planning
Commissioner
what's
happening,
they
provide
us
with
information.
We
can
talk
to
developers
on
I'm,
very
happy
about
that.
We
have
this
process,
but
there's
a
hole
in
the
process
and
that
prop
that
hole
is
language
and
throughout
these
meetings
that
I've
attended
I've
heard
what
seemed
to
me
to
be
very
disingenuous
use
of
language
that
this
were
being
described
as
luxury.
R
But
they
are
these
cramped
spaces
well,
303
square
feet.
You
know
with
the
Murphy
bed
that
there
was
a
fanciful
term
thrown
around
by
one
of
the
planning
committee
members
describing
Emerson
as
a
Boulevard
and
there's
sweeping
away.
You
know
as
a
Boulevard.
Why
can't
development
go
north
of
that
sweeping
away
the
fact
that
cities
have
very
clearly
defined
zones
and
ordinances
codes?
And
there
was
the
use
of
the
term
family
know.
R
R
So
would
there
really
be
a
family
that
could
use
a
three-bedroom,
pre
furnished
apartment
with
the
possibility
of
a
shortage
of
parking
if
they
come
in
at
a
certain
time
than
me,
I'll
be
taken
for
which
they
would
have,
and
they
would
be
surrounded
by
a
dormitory
for
which
they
would
have
the
privilege
of
paying
36
to
40
thousand
dollars
a
year
with
no
equity?
Can
we
please
give
me
the
demographic
of
a
family
that
would
would
fit
that
description?
R
There
was
use
of
terms,
contextual
or
thrown
around.
You
know
they
would
use
masonry,
yet
the
buildings
are
outsized
with
the
surrounding
buildings.
E
2
is
a
great
example
of
how
contextually
it
doesn't
really
fit
in
with
the
opposite
side
of
the
street,
and
it
is
that
language
and
that
understanding
of
what
the
codes
and
the
ordinances
represent.
R
That
needs
to
be
very
transparent
and
not
shifting
all
the
time,
because
that
is
the
understanding
that
the
citizens
have
with
governance,
and
at
this
point
in
time,
it
seems
to
me
that
those
cards
are
now
faced
down,
that
we
don't
really
know
what
the
ordinance
in
zonings
will
mean,
because
we
can
come
in
with
terms
and
all
of
a
sudden
describe
a
street
that,
in
the
Chicagoland
area,
would
by
no
means
be
a
Boulevard.
This
is
a
very
clearly
defined
thing
in
Chicago
was
one
of
the
cities
that
created
this
plan.
