C
A
Post
the
meeting
minutes
are
approved
this
evening.
We
have
three
items
on
the
P&D
agenda.
I
have
a
number
of
speakers
who
have
signed
up
to
speak
at
item
p3
and
what
we
will
do
is
we
will
go
through
the
items
one
at
a
time
and
as
we
get
to
the
other
respective
items,
the
speakers
will
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
as
we
get
to
those
items.
So
we
don't
tie
up
the
the
other
items
that
come
ahead
of
that
item.
P1
is
resolution.
A
54
r16,
approving
a
plan
of
subdivision
for
1903
1904
asbury
avenue
staff
recommends
approval
resolution.
Our
resolution
54
are
16
to
grant
approval
of
the
proposed
subdivision
of
the
property
located
at
the
address
from
one
into
two
lots.
The
proposed
subdivision
would
include
an
ingress
and
egress
easement
over
the
south
lot
to
allow
access
to
the
garage
on
North
live
from
emerson
street.
Is
there
a
motion?
Movable.
D
A
Opposed
all
right
that
will
be
presented
to
the
council
this
evening
for
action
item
p2,
ordinance,
49,
oh
16,
modifying
the
notice
requirement,
provisions
for
planning
and
zoning
client
zoning
cases.
The
plan
commission
staff
recommend
approval
of
the
zoning
ordinance
text
amendment
to
establish
applicants,
responsibility
for
mailed,
noticing
requirements
for
planning
and
zoning
cases.
The
proposal
allows
the
city
to
contract
mailing
of
notices
for
planning
and
zoning
cases
to
a
third-party
service
and
makes
the
applicant
responsible
for
the
cost
of
that
mailing
service.
This
is
it
for
introduction.
Is
there
a
motion
of.
E
Good
good
evening
mark
munzer
Director
of
Community
Development
alberini.
We
want
to
ensure
that
the
staff
is
providing
the
property
information
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
just
that
we're
in
the
loop
and
that
we
always
have
an
idea
of
what
who's
being
notified
for
each
case.
If
it
was
just
with
the
applicant
which
I
agree,
ideally,
maybe
the
maybe
something
we
want
to
look
at,
then
we
would
be
out
of
the
loop.

A
Opposed

for
approval
of
the

development
with
rezoning
from
c
to
commercial

for
downtown
transition
and
a
special
use
for
independent
and
assisted
living
units.
The
10-story
163
unit
residential
building
would
consist
of
102
independent
and
assisted
living
dwelling
units,
31
assisted
living
units
for
residents
with
cognitive
impairment,
30
memory
care
units
and
contains
67
parking
spaces
on
site.
A
F
A
You're
kind
of
just
jumping
in
and
interrupting
me
so
I
apologize
okay.
What
we're
going
to
do
is
we
are
going
to
have
two
presentations.
One
presentation
will
be
from
the
applicant
I
understand
that
we
have
a
second
presentation
from
some
neighbors
and
then
I
would
like
those
individuals
who
are
signed
up
to
speak,
to
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
and
if
there's
anybody
else
who
wanted
to
speak
to
you
could
sign
up
as
well
right.
A
G
G
I'd
like
to
take
this,
is
the
clicker
I'd
like
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
just
to
talk
to
you
about
seeing
the
changes
as
here
where
we
were
approved
by
the
Planning
Commission
several
months
ago,
and
since
then,
we've
had
a
number
of
continued
meetings
with
the
neighbors
in
the
room,
as
well
as
the
mount
zion
church,
congregation
and
meetings
with
the
alderman
to
discuss,
potentially
how
to
change
our
building
to
address
some
of
the
continued
concerns
of
the
community.
What
we
were
able
to
accomplish
is
listed
on
this
chart
here.
G
G
There
was
a
tower
element
to
the
east:
I
apologize,
the
pointers
not
working,
but
overall
we
were
able
to
drop
our
peak
height
from
158
feet
to
135
feet
of
gross
height.
That's
not
that's
not
necessarily
the
height
that's
counted.
Under
the
zoning
code.
We
were
able
to
I'm
sorry
158
feet
to
128
feet
a
drop
of
30
feet.
The
lower
roof
was
dropped
from
135
feet
to
105
feet.
That's
30
feet.
That's
a
twenty
percent
change
in
the
height
of
the
building.
G
G
We
had
originally
come
in
as
primarily
an
independent
living
facility
with
some
assistance
and
some
memory
care.
We
decided
that
in
order
to
accommodate
the
changes
that
the
neighborhood
was
asking
for,
which
was
a
lower
height
and
lower
density,
to
make
it
primarily
an
assisted
living
building
which
provides
three
meals
a
day
and
other
assistance
with
daily
activities
which
our
management
company
will
talk
to
in
a
few
moments.
G
But,
as
you
can
see
on
the
on
the
images
above,
the
one
on
the
left
is
the
yellow
indicates
the
independent
living
floors
where
we
dropped
from
five
to
two
and
increase
the
amount
of
assisted
living.
The
whole
building
was
able
to
maintain
a
bed
count
of
a
hundred
and
sixty
three
beds
or
bedrooms
or
unit
or
dwelling
units
and
rooming
units
combined.
That's
so
very
way
to
say
that
the
current
count
is
33
independent
living
units,
100
assisted
living
units,
30
memory
care
units,
so
our
dwelling
units
dropped
from
140
to
102.
G
So
it's
a
twenty-seven
percent
drop
in
dwelling
units
proposed,
which
is
our
only
development
allowance
that
we're
requesting
so
we've
dropped
down
to
18
from
54
our
parking
on
the
ground
floor
use.
We
had
a
parking
lot
almost
exclusively
with
very
little
usable
space.
We've
done
it,
we've
now
reduced
that
parking
lot
and
increase
the
usable
space.
So
now
our
street
frontage
is
activated.
We
have
offices
that
will
be
there.
We
have
a
lobby
that
will
be
there,
it'll
be
a
greater
connection
to
the
community
and
the
streetscape.
G
G
The
reason
why
we
did
not
initially
agree
to
a
train
pass
is
that
we
expect
most,
if
not
all,
of
our
residents
will
come
from
evanston,
which
means
that
if
they're
coming
from
the
West
a
train
pass
doesn't
do
them
any
good.
So
we
will
need
bus
passes.
We
will
need
car
shares.
We
will
also
use
our
service
bus
to
pick
up
within
a
two
or
three
mile
radius
to
make
sure
that
we
can
properly
incentivize
all
of
our
employees
to
leave
their
cars
at
home
or
perhaps
give
them
up
completely.
G
G
G
We
are
proposing
into
doing
it
as
a
public
benefit
for
this
project
that
includes
an
8-foot
Parkway
of
trees,
a
54
new
five-foot
sidewalk
to
parklets,
as
well
as
sidewalks,
connecting
all
the
way
from
ridge
across
our
property
down
down
through
oak,
which
does
not
currently
have
a
sidewalk
and
properly
connect
all
the
streets
and
sidewalks
to
make
it
safe
for
pedestrians.
On
the
left,
you
can
see
a
rendering
of
our
parklets
and
parks.
G
Here's
one
of
the
telling
things
about
our
site
and
we
did
which
are
the
gear,
our
public
benefits
towards
it
to
the
south
of
Clark
Street.
This
is
what
oak
looks
like
all
right.
It's
it's
well-maintained!
It's
well
landscaped!
It's
well
utilized!
This
is
what
it
looks
like
to
the
north
of
clark
street,
and
these
are
our
renderings
of
what
it
could
and
should
look
like
long
ridge
on
the
left.
The
alley
in
the
center
and
oak
street
on
the
right
public
benefit.
G
Number
two
would
be
the
installation
of
public
art
within
our
little
parklets
public
benefit
number
three
traffic
and
safety
improvements
we
have.
We
have
proposed
to
provide
high
visibility,
crosswalks
and
even
countdown
timers
on
some
of
the
polls,
which
will
connect
our
property.
Better
to
downtown
evanston
via
oak
to
church,
we
have
some
substantial
green
roof
and
patios
on
our
property
extra
bicycle
parking,
not
just
for
our
employees
and
residents,
but
for
the
public
use
on
the
exterior
of
the
building
employment.
We
we
intend
that
all
of
our
employees
will
come
from
evanston.
G
We
will
do
our
best
to
attain
that
goal.
Subject
to
qualifications
and
fifty
sixty
five
employees
in
downtown
evanston,
we
feel
is
a
very,
very
strong
public
benefit
and
we're
very,
very
proud
to
be
able
to
offer
that
if
this
gets
approved,
affordable
housing,
we,
although
we
were
proposed
before
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance,
was
approved.
We
did
propose
to
on-site
units
and
and
for
$100,000
payments,
so
the
equivalent
of
six
affordable
housing
units.
These
the
on-site
units
will
be
in
the
independent
living
as
they
still
get
one
meal
a
day.
G
They
still
get
housekeeping
once
a
week
and
the
wellness
programs
and
the
social
and
recreational
programs,
but
with
the
assisted
living
with
with
a
greater
number
of
aids
and
meals,
and
things
like
that.
It
was
impossible
for
us
to
work
that
in
we
did
extensively
research,
affordable
options
and
subsidized
options
at
the
state
and
federal
levels,
and
unfortunately,
illinois
is
currently
the
worst
state
in
the
country
for
helping
our
seniors,
who
need
assistance.
G
The
these
pictures
are
more
in
context.
Views
it
looks
very
much
like
the
downtown
plan
has
has
given
us
guidelines
for
the
building
is
even
the
same
shape
and
location,
as
the
downtown
plan
has
given
us
guidelines
for
along
the
train
tracks,
fitting
in
nicely
just
just
higher
than
17
17
and
way
lower
than
then
e2,
and
now
I
will
introduce
our
partner
for
the
first
time.
Publicly
is
ridgeline
management,
company
and
ryan
housekeeper's
is
here
to
introduce
them.
H
Almost
all
people
can
recite
that
the
mission
statement,
and
so
there's
a
real
passion
that
cut
started
actually
from
the
doctor,
dr.
Chuck
mcglade,
who
formed
the
company
in
2002
to
really
have
a
care
focused,
but
really
to
maximize
the
independence
of
resonance
that
even
are
in
need
of
assistance
and
memory
care,
and
so
he's
developed
a
couple
of
different
programs
for
maximizing
that
called
balanced,
fit
program
as
one,
for
example.
We're
I
know
that
there's
a
emphasis
on
trying
to
reduce
trips
to
the
hospital.
H
They
have
the
opportunity
to
have
the
management
company
assesses
them
to
ensure
that
they
are
appropriately
cared
for
and
to
reduce
the
likelihood
of
a
fall
or
other
problematic
event
that
would
that
would
bring
them
back
into
the
hospital.
So
I
just
want
to
stress
that
you
know
the
the
ridgeline
management
is
really
about
the
care
side,
but
maximizing
independence.
One
of
the
things
we
really
like
about
being
in
Evans
did
is
the
accessibility
to
the
community
accessibility,
the
civic
options
that
the
that
the
university
has.
H
We
know
that
seniors
in
order
to
attract
a
younger,
more
active
senior.
We
need
to
have
amenities
outside
of
just
the
facility
and
so
being
in
the
city
of
evidence
for
that
having
the
proximity
to
to
Northwestern
University,
so
I'll
just
leave
it
at
that
and
welcome
any
questions.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
H
A
F
Now
is
the
right
time:
I
was
a
little
gun-shy.
Yes,
thank
you
and
please
accept
my
apologies
for
interrupting,
like
before
my
name
is
Dan
Shapiro
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
1800
in
1830
homeowners
associations,
which
are
across
the
street
and
comprised
of
about
60
units.
We
appreciate
the
developers
changes
that
they
spoke
about
just
a
couple
minutes
ago.
F
I
would
just
add
that
I
do
not
believe
that
the
plan
commission
has
seen
any
of
those
changes
since
there
came
after
the
Planning
Commission
hearing
so
to
the
extended
this
body
feels
it
needs
to
send
it
back
to
planning
commission
I
just
make
that
point.
As
you
know,
we
have
several
concerns
which
we
would
like
to
address
to
this
body.
F
Again
with
what
the
code
says,
what
the
PD
document
says
it
there
has
to
be
some
compatibility.
So
what's
another
document
that
the
zoning
ordinance
with
respect
to
the
plan,
development
ordinance
says
about
complying
with
planning
documents
and
that's
the
2009
plan
in
that
the
north
northwest
edge
you'll
see
right
there.
That's
where
our
building
is
that's
where
the
proposed
building
is,
and
according
to
that
planning
document.
There's
a
sixty
sixty
six
foot
max
without
any
development
allowances
and
I'll
speak
to
adult
allowance
in
just
a
moment
110
with
the
development
novels.
F
So
even
looking
at
it
both
ways,
it
is
not
consistent
with
the
downtown
plan
there
is.
There
was
some
discussion
about
being
inclusive
with
the
new
inclusionary,
sorry
being
consistent
with
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
Yes,
there
does
seem
to
be
cash
in
lieu,
but
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
fully
compliant
in
this.
In
this
particular
instance,
most
of
the
public
benefits
that
you
heard
are
either
site
allowances
that
are
required
by
a
PD
anyway
or
public
benefits
which
really
benefit
this
project.
I'm
not
saying
all,
but
I
am
saying
most
so
under
zoning
ordinance.
F
It
says
that
the
public
benefits
by
a
vote
of
two-thirds
of
the
City
Council
there
has
to
be
a
finding
that
the
public
benefits
are
essential
or
necessary
to
basically
support
the
allowance,
and
in
this
case
the
one
allowance
that
they're
seeking
is
is
very
significant.
The
question
that
this
body
would
have
is:
what
is
that
public?
Are
the
public
benefits
essential
for
the
permission
or
are
the
exceedance
of
that
allowance?
F
Now,
with
respect
to
the
density
issue,
we
see
that
the
same
number
of
proposed
units
are
pretty
much
the
same.
It's
the
mix
that
is
different,
so
it's
165
versus
163
and
you
can
see
for
yourself
on
this
chart
that
independent
living
has
gone
down
significantly
by
about
90
units
in
assisted
living,
has
come
up
significantly,
probably
about
50
units,
but
in
all
the
number
of
units
remains
the
same.
The
allowance
that
is
being
requested
is
to
go
from
84,
which
is.
F
We
talked
about
the
cash
in
lieu.
Ten
percent
of
the
102
dwelling
units
would
would
be
required,
so,
instead
of
a
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
I'm
sorry,
ten
percent
would
equal
ten
units
instead
of
four
hundred
thousand
it
would
be.
Eight
hundred
thousand
would
be
required
for
the
eight
units.
They're
short
on
that,
let
me
go
to
the
next
life
now.
Another
thing
that
I'd
like
to
bring
to
your
attention
is
the
developers
explanation
of
what
they're
doing
has
been
very
clear
to
us
and
what
they've
said
both
in
writing
tonight
and
other
nights.
F
Is
that
they're
going
to
provide
basically
around
the
clock
here
and
that
they
define
that
in
their
proposal
as
assisted
living,
you'll
see
amenities,
as
they
suggested
include
three
meals
a
day
housekeeping
laundry
security,
emergency
response
with
assistance
with
activities
of
daily
living?
Now,
if
you
look
at
your
code
and
what
we've
put
here
in
red
is
those
facilities
that
include
personal
care,
such
as
assistance
with
activities
of
daily
living,
shall
be
later
licensed
as
shelter
care
facilities
pursuant
to
the
city
code.
F
So,
in
accordance
with
what
they
said,
they're
doing
it's
almost
a
mirror
image
or
very,
very
close
to
the
same
language
that
says
in
this
zoning
orange
and
yours
only
guards
that
shelter
care
shelter
care
is
not
indicated
as
either
a
special
or
permitted
us
in
the
d4,
which
is
our
zoning
district
at
issue
here.
So
what
they're,
asking
for
at
the
present
time
and
based
upon
their
application
in
representations,
is
not
something
that
would
be
otherwise
permitted.
F
We
appreciate
what
the
developer
has
done,
but
what
they
would
they
have
done
is
simply
not
enough
and
doesn't
straight
on
respond
to
some
of
the
concerns
that
that
we
have
had
and
that
we'd
like
to
again
echo
before
you,
which
include
the
allowances
which
include
the
mass.
The
inconsistency
with
some
of
the
some
of
the
plan
with
the
downtown
plan.
F
Inconsistency
with
the
very
requirements
of
pd
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
The
proposed
public
benefits
do
not
provide
a
necessity
or
a
strong
basis
for
an
increase,
the
density
of
ninety-four
percent,
which
is
other
which
would
otherwise
that
the
83
or
84
units
which
would
otherwise
be
what
would
be
permitted
here.
F
F
G
The
mix
of
Units
changed
in
order
to
accommodate
the
request
from
the
neighbors
to
lower
the
height
and
density
of
the
building.
So
in
order
to
change
the
unit
mix
we
had
to
cheat
in
order
to
change
the
building,
we
had
to
shrink
the
units
from
a
tanja
square
feet
to
4
or
500
square
feet.
We
can't
that's,
that's
not
appropriate
for
independent
living,
so
we
went
to
assisted
living.
The
assisted
living
model
still
worked
very
well.
G
Our
own
market
study,
which
is
in
the
packet,
indicates
direct
and
immediate
need
for
over
600
an
assisted
living
building,
sisted
living
units
in
a
four-mile
radius,
so
well
supported
by
the
feasibility
study,
and
we
were
able
to
accomplish
what
the
community
had
asked
us
to
try
and
do
after
the
Planning
Commission.
Okay.
D
E
I
So
on
top
of
that,
the
state
of
Illinois
would
not
classify
this
type
of
facility
based
on
the
services
as
a
sheltered
care
home.
So
it
does
not
make
sense
for
us
to
classified
as
that
to
be
in
contradiction
with
the
state
of
Illinois.
So
we
feel
very
confident
that
this
facility,
based
on
their
proposal,
qualifies
in
assisted
living
facility,
but.
I
G
G
The
the
this
presentation
attempts
to
skew
those
definitions
to
make
hours
of
be
a
sheltered
care
which
it's
not
it's
an
assisted
living
and
if
we
function
as
a
shelter
care
would
actually
be
penalized
and
then
shut
down
by
the
state
if
it
didn't
cease
to
do
so.
So
there's
no
possibility
of
this
building
functioning
as
a
shelter
care
and
the
primary
reason
for
that
that
they've
brought
up
is
the
24-hour
supervision
and
monitoring
of
mental
and
health
status
of
residents,
who
are
incapable
of
maintaining
a
private,
independent
residence
incapable
of
managing
themselves.
G
D
G
G
No
shoulders
know,
and
there
the
part,
there's
a
point
of
confusion
that
I
around
dwelling
units
and
rooming
units
that
I'd
like
to
also
talk
about
the
simplest
way
to
talk
about.
It
is
if
there
are
kitchens
or
no
kitchens
right.
A
rooming
unit
has
no
kitchens,
so
when,
when
this
city
and
we
have
evaluated
what
we
were
putting
on
the
property,
we
increased
some
of
the
rooming
units.
We
decrease
some
of
the
dwelling
units
such
that
we
only
have
18
actual
defined
legal
dwelling
units
above
what
is
allowed
under
the
d4
zoning.
G
We
have
more
dwelling
units,
but
our
floor
area
ratio
is
significantly
below
what
is
contemplated
under
the
d4
zoning.
So,
theoretically,
we
could
add
another
30
to
40,000
square
feet
somewhere
along
those
lines
of
floor
area.
To
this
building
eliminate
all
the
kitchens
have
many
more
rooming
units
under
the
d4
zoning.
We
didn't
do
that.
We
try.
We
did
what
we
did
to
reduce
the
heights
and
the
dent
and
and
the
overall
density
of
the
property,
but
that
there's
a
discrepancy
there.
As
far
as
dwelling
units
versus
rooming
units
and
hopefully
that
clears
that
all.
A
A
J
J
J
J
J
The
reason
you
have
ladder
trucks
is
because
often
you
have
to
fight
a
fire
from
the
outside,
but
on
a
third,
there
are
only
three
sizes
building
one
of
these
sides.
You
can't
get
there
with
a
ladder
truck
and
you'd
have
to
fight
the
fire
from
that
from
the
right
away
of
the
railroad,
so
that
that
concerns
me
as
far
as
the
success
of
the
project
is
planned
for
the
developer.
He's
worked
hard
on
it.
I've
heard
many
presentations
and
I
know.
J
He's
really
tried
to
make
it
right,
but
I
continue
to
think
that
this
use
is
just
not
compatible
with
this
exceptionally
noisy
site.
I
live
across
the
street,
I
can
attest
to
the
noise.
The
the
aesthetics
in
coming
and
going
to
this
building
are
really
unfortunate.
The
people
enter
and
exit
their
building
through
it
a
dark
automobile
passageway
on
Ali,
and
then
they
see
a
an
abandon
service
station.
J
It's
repurposed
as
a
parking
lot
and
there's
there's
no
nearby
park
for
them
to
walk
to
and
walk
down
the
sidewalk,
but
I
mean
in
terms
of
getting
to
a
park.
They
have
to
go
a
good
ways
for
a
senior
I'm,
a
senior
I
know,
and
so
as
it
just
to
repeat,
we
want
a
successful
project
and
I
personally
I
doubt
whether
this
one
can
be
as
proposed
Thank
You.
K
Thank
you.
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
use
categories
in
sheltered
care
if
I
can
get
back
to
that.
So
you
heard
about
the
state
laws,
but
what
I
want
to
point
out
is
evanston
has
their
own
ordinance
where
a
home-rule
unit
and
Home
Rule
rules,
the
illinois
supreme
court
upheld
that.
So
we
can
ignore
our
definition.
I
think
if
you
look
around,
if
you
call
the
King
home,
they
market
themselves
as
an
assisted
living
facility,
but
how
are
they
licensed
their
licenses?
K
Sheltered
care
they're
in
an
r6
own
and
sheltered
care
is
allowed
in
our
six,
so
other
facilities
have
followed
this
rag.
It's
a
conservative,
definite
definition
evanston
made
a
choice
and
put
this
in
to
require
facilities
that
are
offering
assistance
with
activities
of
daily
living
as
sheltered
care.
What's
the
distinction
when
we'd?
Like
brief,
you
want
briefly
walk
you
through
the
spectrum.
I've
walked
the
spectrum
with
a
loved
one
Alzheimer's
you
have
assisted
living,
then
you
have
sheltered
care
and
that's
on
the
under
the
long-term
care
umbrella.
K
That's
licensed
federally
next
is
intermediate
care
and
then
is
skilled
nursing.
So
what
you're
asking
is
that
these
facilities,
offering
this
kind
of
service,
take
an
extra
step
and
ensure
the
safety
of
our
seniors?
If
you
call
Westminster
place,
they
have
sheltered
care
intermediate
care
and
skilled
nursing
that
allows
a
senior
to
really
age
in
place.
K
I've
heard
it
referred
that
this
will
offer
multiple
levels
to
allow
someone
to
age
in
place,
but
once
they're
out
of
assisted
living,
they
need
to
find
somewhere
else
to
live
so
I
encourage
you
to
call
facilities,
see
what
they
offer
and
really
think.
What
does
this
facility
offer?
I
have
huge
concerns
about
memory
care
in
this
building.
K
You've
heard
that
it's
not
going
to
have
24-hour
care
the
memory
care
is
going
to
be
a
locked
floor
with
dementia
patients.
I
just
feel
that
there's
inconsistencies
and
what's
being
presented
and
what's
being
asked
of
licensing
so
I,
ask
you
to
consider.
Is
memory
care
right
in
this
facility
with
65
trains
on
average
Monday
going
by?
Thank
you
for
listening
to
our
concerns
and
for
continuing
to
keep
the
community's
interest
in
mind.
Thank.
L
Thank
you
committee.
Thank
you,
neighbors
prone
for
coming
out
today.
I
will
make
it
brief,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
great
points
have
already
been
made.
Things
I
would
have
spoke
to
so
I
won't
waste
the
time
and
belabor.
The
points
I
do
want
to
just
kind
of
hit
on
what
is
kind
of
the
major
thing
for
us
is
as
neighbors
to
this
partial
blandness
and
somewhat
labeled
as
an
island
as
forgotten
space
to
us.
That's
not
forgotten
space.
L
It's
our
part
of
evanston,
it's
our
home,
it's
our
community
and
we
are
very
vested
in
that
and
as
Bob
eloquently
spoke,
we
want
something
there,
that's
in
the
character
of
evanston
the
character
we
love
and
that
we
live
here.
For
that,
the
reason
we
don't
live
in
the
city
of
Chicago
that
we
aren't
in
this
super
dense
neighborhoods.
L
I
mean
right
now
the
whole
argument
for
why
this
zoning
is
should
be
allowed
at
the
super
height
and
super
density
is
for
e2,
but
most
of
all
the
neighbors
anyone
I've
talked
to
even
council
members
and
esteem
officials
in
the
city
of
Evanston
have
a
little
bit
of
buyer's
remorse
over
you
too.
It
is
a
terrible,
terrible
eyesore
on
our
community,
its
way
out
of
scale
whale
out
of
proportion
and,
honestly,
it's
the
cheapest
architecture,
possible
I
speak
as
it
practicing
architect.
This
is
just
the
kind
of
garbage
that
we
don't
need
in
evanston.
L
We
need
something
better
of
a
higher
quality
of
higher
caliber
that
we
have
come
to
expect
and
the
reason
why
we
are
part
of
this
community
I
apologize
anyway.
I
think
everyone
is
probably
covered.
A
lot
of
the
other
bullet
points
ahead.
So
I
don't
want
to
take
too
long,
but
this
won't
errors
you
guys
to
please
take
that
into
mind
when
you're
you're,
making
these
decisions
don't
take
it
lightly.
L
M
G
M
G
Everyone
that
that
enters
this
building
is
put
through
a
very
detailed
health
screening
by
their
private
physician.
No
one
can
be
admitted
to
as
a
resident
in
this
building
if
they
do
not
pass
that
health
screening
to
be
a
fully
functioning
healthy,
older
adult.
That
being
said,
that
doesn't
mean
they're
necessarily
cooking
every
day
it
doesn't
mean
they're
necessarily
don't
have
need
assistance
getting
in
and
out
of
the
bath
or
possibly
getting
dressed
or
mobility
issues
just
to
get
to
the
dining
room.
G
G
The
assisted
living
people
may
have
a
spouse,
who
can
cook
or
can
shop
or
can
do
something
and
their
spouse
may
not.
So
the
idea
behind
assisted
living
versus
all
the
other
of
the
other
categories
is
that
the
residents
must
be
able
to
attend
them,
they're
their
own
need
for
exiting.
If
there
is
an
emergency
or
or
within
the
realm
of
the
staff,
that's
provided.
We
only
have
four
to
eight
people
on
staff
overnight,
so
there's
no
way
we
could
possibly
monitor
the
health
and
mental
wellness
of
our
residents.
G
They
do
have
their
keys
to
their
units
and
they
do
especially
in
the
independent
those
are
their
homes
and
they're
considered
their
homes,
whether
they
need
assistance
in
daily
activities
or
not.
So
the
really
cognitive,
assisted
living
units
would
not
have
kitchens
for
safety
sake,
but
most
of
the
other
assisted
living
units
would
have
small
kitchens
and
the
independent
would
have
regular
regular
kitchen
like
a
like
an
apartment.
Would
okay.
G
17
Ryan
answered
how
they
how
they
venture
out,
but
we
didn't
talk
about
because
it
wasn't
part
of
our
very
short
presentation
was
the
fact
that
we
have
a
huge
amenity
floor
on
our
third
floor.
The
entire
most
the
entire
third
floor
is
taken
up
by
dining
rooms,
commercial
kitchens,
health
and
wellness
fitness
facilities,
recreation
of
a
community
room
business
center,
cafe
gardening
and
many
other
social
wellness
programs.
So
the
intent
and
large
outdoor
patios
and
the
intent
is
that
the
senior
that
lives
here
does
not
have
to
venture
out.
But
Ridgeline,
isn't
particularly
good.
H
H
Even
a
couple
blocks
to
go,
but
the
proximity
to
amenities
are
very
short
drive
on
a
community
bus,
and
you
have
regular
scheduled
transportation
and
events
and
the
beauty
of
the
location
is
the
frequency
of
those
can
be
quite
high
because
of
the
close
proximity
for
transit
from
the
from
the
community
bus
and,
like
we
said
we're
that
will
be
regularly
used
for
employees
and
for
residents
for
for
dropping
them
off.
A
transit
stops
proximity
to
to
work
actually
picking
them
up,
but
also
for
the
scheduled
transportation.
H
Events
that
we
hope
to
collaborate
with
with
the
University
and,
like
Mike,
said.
We
hope
to
be
encouraging
people
within
the
community
to
come
to
the
facility,
use
the
the
ample
common
area
and
to
maximize
the
mentoring,
Center
option
that
we'd
like
to
perpetuate
which
really
to
encourage
the
stimulate
the
minds
of
seniors.
By
giving
back
to
two
young
people
within
the
community.
Oh
and.
H
We
are
you
went
where
I'm
going
to
go.
We
would
be
building
relationships
as
as
part
of
the
process
once
you
know
when
the
development
starts
six
months
prior
to
actually
opening
ridge
line
management
will
be
actively
involved
in
the
operations
side
of
getting
an
administrator
hired
and
in
that
time
period,
and
then
that
process
in
that
marketing
process,
there's
going
to
be
a
relationship,
that's
going
to
be
built
with
a
variety
of
different
communities
within
that
within
the
greater
area.
So
affordability
is
an
issue
here.
H
It
might
be
another
option:
skilled,
nursing,
here's,
here's
a
variety
of
different
options
for
skilled
nursing
facilities,
because
what
we
are
not
is
the
skilled
nursing
facility.
We've
never
been
a
skilled
nursing.
Nor
will
we
ever
be
so
in
every
facility
in
every
market
that
we
go
into
we're
always
building
relationships
with
skilled
nursing
facilities,
for
references.
A
A
H
So
we
are
not
a
buy-in,
it
would
be
a
small
community
fee
that
would
probably
be
close
to
a
month's
rent
or
half
of
a
month's
rent.
That
may
be
a
non-refundable
fee.
We're
looking
at
around
3950
to
start
on
the
Independent
Living
side
and
around
5,000
to
start
on
the
assisted
living
side
and
for
skilled
nursing
or
not
for
for
memory
care
it
would
go
up
to
7,000
is
around
where
that
would
be
for
memory
care.
Okay,
all.
N
The
least
eloquent
of
the
people
that
live
across
the
street
so
you'll
get
this
in
bullet
points.
Based
on
your
questions
themselves,
you
notice
that
this
is
a
bit
of
an
algebra
task.
You've
heard
little
bits
of
here
in
little
bits
of
here,
where
it
isn't
quite
a
d4,
but
it
is
a
d4.
Is
it
nursing
just
now
he
called
it
skilled,
even
though
earlier
we
heard
it
wasn't,
we've
heard
would
just
listen.
I've
listened
to
what
six
or
seven
of
his
presentations
are
ready.
N
So
allow
me
to
I
know
its
presentation
by
heart,
but
a
handful
of
things
number
one.
We
went
from
165
to
163,
okay,
it's
still
ninety-four
percent
higher
density
than
was
allowed.
84
was
the
baseline.
The
height
you've
already
heard
was
supposed
to
be
sixty
six
feet
and
now
we're
at
some
debatable
number,
whether
its
138
148
or
what
have
you?
Okay,
you've
heard
about
the
allowances
that
have
been
made
as
far
as
public
benefits,
some
of
those
same
allowances.
N
They
sign
the
kind
of
sound
like
what
I
heard
in
this
room
when
we
were
involved
in
the
Green
Bay
Emerson
ridge,
new
sidewalks,
new,
paving
new
landscaping,
it
sounds
like
we're
counting
the
same
thing
twice
this
time,
we're
counting
it
as
his
benefit
as
opposed
to
what
we
all
you
all
voted
on
not
long
ago
when
we
were
going
to
renovate
the
streets
in
terms
of
a
number
of
other
things.
We
hear
contradictions
just
now.
Their
expert
didn't
know
what
the
math
or
was
think
about
it.
This
is
our
community.
N
C
N
A
Right
any
further
discussion:
okay,
just
to
point
out
this
is
for
introduction
tonight
it
will
be
presented
at
a
council
meeting
in
the
future.
We
will
be
voting
later
to
introduce
it,
but
everyone
will
have
an
opportunity
to
voice
your
opinions,
share
your
views
with
the
council
members
over
the
next
few
weeks.
So
all
in
favor
of
introducing
and
council
hi.
