So
we

quorum.
The
first
item
on
the

2015
as
their
motion.
No
proof.
Okay,
any
changes
of
Corrections.
Okay,

of
approving
the
minutes

I,
I
Kate
great.
So
the

tonight
is
p1
ordinance,
43,
o
15.
A
It's
the
planned
development
for
16-20
Central
Street,
the
Planning
Commission
and
staff
recommended
option
of
ordinance,
40
30
15
for
special
use;
approval
of
a
planned
development
at
16,
20,
Central,
Street,

forest
or
story
40
foot
high,
multiple
family
residential
building
includes
47
dwelling
units
and
fifty
four
parking
spaces
on
site.
It's
for
introduction
is
their
emotion,
is.
B
A
C
My
name
is
John
majewski
with
majewski
architects.
I'll
be
very
brief
tonight,
if
there's
anything
more,
that
you'd
like
I'll,
be
happy
to
go
through
it,
but
we've
really
cut
the
presentation
very
short.
So
in
appreciative
of
all
the
time
that
you
guys
put
forward,
we
didn't
want
to
spend
too
much
time
so
we'll
just
hit
through
and
go
through.
The
key
aspects
of
the
project.
I
think
everybody
understands
where
it's
located
on
central
street.
C
The
best
thing
about
this
project
is
there
couldn't
be
a
better
location
between
the
two
different
modes
of
key
transportation,
the
CTA
to
the
east
and
the
metro
to
the
west.
It's
a
very
important
part
of
our
project,
because
we
think
that
the
solution
to
parking
is
not
necessarily
adding
more
parking.
It's
just
making
a
transportation
oriented
project
that
really
makes
sense,
and
we've
tried
to
find
the
right
balance
with
this
project.
C
The
site
itself
actually
is
located
where
the
former
two
and
a
half
story
structure
is
located.
We've
dashed
that
in
in
red,
so
you
can
see
that
object
up
towards
the
front
we
have
spent
the
better
part.
We
started
I.
Think
with
our
first
community
meeting
June
of
last
year
and
have
had
24
community
meetings
before
we
actually
had
our
first
meeting
with
Plan
Commission,
so
we've
taken
this
very
serious,
we've
tried
to
take
a
different
approach.
The
building
has
pushed
and
pulled
and
I'm
not
going
to
take
you
through
all
of
those
tonight.
C
We
did
that
with
the
planning
commission,
but
it's
had
probably
on
the
order
of
about
12
13
major
changes
to
it
that
have
just
evolved
through
this
process
of
working
with
everybody.
I
believe
that
we
have
a
great
deal
of
respect
and
mutual
admiration
and
working
together.
It's
never
perfect,
and
it's
absolutely
not
that
we
have
a
perfect
solution,
but
we
have
one
that
I
think
almost
all
the
neighbors
could
agree
to.
There
is
definitely
one
couple
in
one
of
the
town
houses
that
we
weren't
really
able
to
reach
agreement
with.
C
We
did,
however,
make
most
of
our
major
concessions
along
that
piece
of
property,
including
additional
landscaping
and
much
larger
setbacks.
So,
with
all
of
that
pushing
and
pulling,
we
ended
up
with
a
plan
that
you're
presented
with
today,
and
you
can
see
that
the
mass
of
the
new
building
actually
fits.
That's
what
we're
showing
now
with
the
red
line
and
the
black
and
white
image
that
you
see
is
the
existing
building.
C
That's
there
so
predominantly
on
the
left
side,
you
can
see,
there's
been
a
major
push
back
really
both
because
of
the
townhomes
on
the
left
that
are
a
little
closer
and
then
predominantly
because
of
the
single-family
homeowners
that
are
adjacent
to
our
site.
If
they
happen
to
live
on
the
west
side,
the
building
is
pushed
back
at
least
five
feet
back
further
and
as
we
go
through
it
there's
portions,
where
it's
pushed
back
substantially
further
and
I'll
get
to
that.
When
we
get
to
the
landscape
plan,
I
think
you've
seen
the
size
in
the
unit's.
C
We
just
simply
want
to
point
out.
One
of
the
reasons
we've
had
to
go
through
this
process
is
the
size
of
the
site,
is
30
1994
square
feet,
so
we're
required
to
do
a
planned
unit
development.
So
we
had
no
choice.
There
really
was
no
way
to
do
this.
/
zoning,
if
there
was,
we
probably
would
have
tried
to
work
within
that.
The
underlying
zoning
is
0
1
because
of
the
lot
area
we're
here
with
a
PUD.
The
PUD
itself
has
tried
to
work
within
several
of
the
guidelines.
Predominantly
working
within
the
the
FA
are.
C
Our
proposed
f
AR
is
about
1.9
3,
the
maximum
allowed
with
bonuses
is
1.99,
and
one
of
those
key
bonuses
is
by
putting
your
parking
below
and
inside
the
building,
which
we've
done.
Maximum
number
of
dwelling
units
would
be
67
units
we're
proposing
47
units.
We
have
a
good
mix
within
that
of
11
one
bedrooms,
28
two
bedrooms
and
eight
that
are
three
bedroom
units.
The
maximum
height
permitted
is
five
stories
or
52
feet.
We're
at
four
stories:
47
and
a
half
feet
parking
spaces.
C
One
place
that
we
are
under
the
seventy
two
parking
spaces
are
required.
We
are
providing
54,
but
as
we'll
get
to
the
public
benefits
as
a
transportation
or
transit
oriented
project.
We
really
believe
and
I
think
the
plan
commission
really
agreed
with
us
that
the
solution
is
not
just
providing
more
parking.
It's
that
get
individuals
into
the
units
that
will
use
the
parking
that
they
have
and
really
take
access
to
public
transportation.
Another
benefit
is
obviously
providing
bike
parking.
We
have
32
bike
parking
spaces
and
31
were
required
overall.
C
C
We've
tried
to
find
a
balance
in
working
with
both
groups
to
push
the
mass
of
the
building
behind
somewhat
in
the
center,
pushing
and
pulling
back
and
forth
to
end
up
that
we're
respecting
the
single-family
homes,
but
still
really
respecting
the
townhouses,
because
the
townhouses
it's
not
their
back
door,
they
actually
look
out
their
front.
So
that's
what
they
would
see.
So
that's
why
we've
pushed
it
back
and
created
that
garden
area.
C
C
We're
providing
to
on-site,
affordable
housing
units
there'll,
be
one
bedroom
units
which
part
of
our
project
we're
preserving
its
big
part
of
what
we
did
is
we
have
two
key
trees,
one,
that's
a
public
tree
up
near
the
street
and
one
that's
at
the
back
there,
both
Elms,
but
there
are
ashes.
I'm
sorry,
but
they're
both
very
is
a
telomere.
It's
enough,
but
they're
both
healthy.
There
are
no
issues
with
them.
C
They've
been
checked
out
by
the
City
arborist,
and
so
we
really
want
to
respect
those
that
was
a
lot
of
pushing
and
pulling
as
well
we're
working
with
the
city
to
bury
the
overhead
utilities.
That's
a
little
bit
tricky
because
we
don't
want
to
make
the
problem
more
complicated,
but
we
intend
to
work
with
city
staff
to
come
up
with
a
solution
to
really
alleviate
the
utility
issue.
C
We're
providing
one
divvy
bikeshare
membership
for
every
unit
in
the
building
for
three
years,
we'll
provide
one
year
of
free
t,
CTA
or
Metro
passes
for
anyone
within
a
unit
of
the
building.
Streetscape
improvements
along
Central
Street
are
just
a
part
of
it.
So
we'll
be
one
of
the
very
first
parts
of
central
street
that
approved
that
becomes
compliant
with
the
new
size
requirements
for
central
street
street
improvements.
We're
replacing
the
existing
wood
fence
along
the
West
property
line.
C
There
hasn't
been
a
request
to
do
that
along
the
East
property
line,
because
we're
putting
landscaping
along
the
East
property
line
and
we're
also
allowing
the
homeowners
to
have
access
along
that
path.
So
it
isn't
that
we're
not
providing
landscaping.
It's
just
simply
that
they
want
to
be
able
to
access
the
back
of
their
property.
We've
arranged
for
two
car
share
spaces
along
Central,
Street
and
close
proximity
to
the
site,
we're
currently
negotiating
that.
C
With
that,
I
really
just
wanted
to
show
you
these
quick
kind
of
views
that
you've
had
a
chance
to
see.
We've
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
with
the
mass
to
try
to
push
and
pull
it
to
respect
the
requests
that
along
central
street,
we
reinforce
this
transition
from
kind
of
a
business
district,
as
you
start
to
go
about
a
blow
to
the
right
to
what
really
becomes
completely
as
we
go
to
the
left,
a
single
family
or
multifamily
residential
district,
most
of
the
buildings
along
the
front.
C
We
have
townhouses
on
either
side
those
virtually
don't
have
any
facade,
they're
kind
of
blank
walls.
Those
are
the
two
townhouse
projects
that
were
built
some
time
ago
and
we're
kind
of
nestling
in
between
those
two.
But
we
try
to
respect
the
mass
looking
at
other
projects
along
the
street.
We've
set
portions
of
the
building
back
as
well
as
the
fourth
floor.
As
we
wrap
around
the
building,
the
building
is
primarily
made
up
of
metal
panel
and
brick
and
masonry.
It's
a
really
really
well
quality
built
building.
C
So
we
don't
have
any
concerns
about
the
materials
that
we're
using
on
the
outside
of
the
structure.
Here
you
get
a
view
from
the
back
looking
at
the
alley,
as
the
ramp
will
go
down
and
access
the
parking
and
then
there's
that
garden
area,
that's
located
to
the
lower
left
of
the
drawing
and
here's
just
kind
of
more
of
a
typical
view,
as
you'd
walk
heading
to
the
east
along
Central
Street.
So
with
that
I
thought,
I
would
just
hit
the
highlights
and
turn
it
over
to
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
very
much
junk
alderman
tendon
thank.
B
B
I
think
your
process
in
resolving
this
and
getting
to
this
point
has
been
admirable,
really
appreciated.
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
being
constructed
and
you've
also
hit
on
so
many
key
points
that
the
city
and
our
sustainability
folks
are
interested
in
and
we
as
council
have
made
that
decision
as
well.
So
thank
you
very
much
appreciate.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
Mr
mouse
key
and
to
your
your
team
that
have
put
this
together,
I
think,
despite
what
feels
like
a
lot
of
pushing
and
pulling
that
you've
got
a
good
looking
building
here
and
doesn't
seem
to
me
as
if
you've
made
a
lot
of
compromises
in
just
the
the
appearance
in
the
integrity
of
the
the
outside
of
the
building.
It'll
be
a
nice
addition
to
the
central
street
landscape
and
I.
Think
I
want
to
compliment
you
as
well
on
the
process.
I!
Think.
D
For
me
it
was
a
learning
process
as
to
how
to
do
it
right
how
to
tackle
some
complicated
zoning
issues
with
the
Central
Street
overlay.
Remember
that
we
amended
the
Central
Street
overlay
district
to
permit
site
development
allowance,
not
the
big
ones
that
that
really
mattered
to
residents
but
to
allow
a
building
to
accommodate
local
and
neighborhood
concerns.
So
this
was
a
long
process.
D
As
you
said,
almost
a
year
ago,
we
began
having
this
discussion
and
and
I've
learned
a
lot
about
really
the
right
way
to
take
a
project
from
start
to
finish
and
how
to
engage
the
community
and
I
compliment.
You
and
and
your
team
on
all
your
patients
with
many
many
community
and
neighborhood
meetings
and
with
great
thanks
to
city
staff
as
well,
for
helping
us
navigate
this
project
and
and
the
very
specific
and
more
general
neighborhood
concerns
I
think
they
really
have
been
mostly
addressed,
and
at
least
those
residents
they're
not
happy.
D
C
E
Carl
Bova
1322
rosalie
street.
I
live
about
a
thousand
fifty
nine
feet
exactly
away
from
this
particular
development
and
I'd.
Like
the
following
comments
related
to
the
parking
requirements.
First
of
all,
I've
said
many
times
the
park.
The
existing
parking
requirements
that
the
city
has
are
in
excess
of
what
is
needed
and
staff
needs
to
rekindle
a
thought
process
for
coming
up
with
a
real
estimate
of
what
is
necessary
under
what
conditions
under
what
kind
of
uses
for
parking
within
the
city.
That
said
at
this
particular
location.
E
E
E
E
However,
the
development
itself
has
so
many
units
that
are
two
and
three-bedroom
units
that
it
attracts
people
who
have
more
than
one
car,
and
so
you
really
ought
to
look
at
every
aspect
of
the
development.
Not
just
the
number
of
units
72
are
required
per
the
code
and
I
would
say
you
probably
need
about
65.
E
E
Seventy
percent
are
not
accessible
to
transit,
so
when
a
person
who's
looking
for
a
job
is
trying
to
find
a
job
they're
going
to
find
one.
Seventy
percent
of
the
time
where
they
need
a
car
and
that's
the
potential
applicant
ential
tenant
that
I
see
using
this
particular
location
I,
would
encourage
that
that
parking
requirement
be
increased
for
this
particular
development.
Over
the
54
that
are
being
provided.
Thank
you
thank.
