You
this

a
project
that
is
mostly
in
council
member
Goodman
sward,
but
she
and
I
worked
together
at

just
brushes
the
tip
of
the
10th
ward.
So
this
is
the
big
reconstruction
of
hennepin
and
lyndale
corridor.
We
were
able
to
work
with
staff
and
a
really
incredible
coalition
of
community
groups
and
institutions
to
implement
a
lot
of
bicycle
and
pedestrian
safety
improvements
in
this
reconstruction
project
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
staff

all
of
their
work.
They
really
went

beyond
here
to
really
quickly
pull
together.
A
Thank
you.
Any
further
discussion

none

Thank
anyone
wish
to
know

None

aye
the

items
carry.
We
can
now
go
into
the
public
hearing
portion
of
the
agenda,
starting
with
public
hearing
number
one,
which
is
the
pen
pen,
East
McKinley
areas,
Gerard
in
humble
avenues.
North
street
resurfacing
projects
good
morning,
good.
C
A
D
Kennedy
morning
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
Mike
Kennedy
and
the
director
of
Transportation
maintenance
and
repair
for
Public
Works
we're
here
this
morning
for
the
public
hearing
regarding
the
2015
resurfacing
program
on
pen,
pen,
East
and
McKinley
areas,
Gerard
in
humboldt
avenue
north
on
january,
16
2015,
the
city
council
designated
the
locations
streets
and
improvements
proposed
be
made
in
the
pen,
pen,
East
and
McKinley
areas,
as
well
as
Gerard
and
humbles
Humboldt
avenues
north
neighborhoods.
D
D
The
things
to
note
are
that
the
streets
that
are
identified
as
part
of
the
proposed
North
Minneapolis
Greenway,
as
shown
on
the
map
in
green,
are
excluded
from
this
project
and
will
not
be
resurfaced.
The
respected
parcels
will
not
be
subject
to
excessive
or
the
street
resurfacing
project.
We
will
still
continue
to
do
our
standard
maintenance
procedures
on
there
as
needed
as
well.
Girardin
humboldt
avenue
north
are
from
2617
north
to
lowry
avenue
north.
D
The
street
resurfacing
is
a
typical
male
and
overly,
as
we've
been
doing
for
a
number
of
years.
Now,
it's
scheduled
to
begin
in
2015
will
be
done
by
the
city's
workforce
at
the
neighborhood
pre
public
hearing
meeting
on
februari
10th
through
property
owners
that
ask
the
question
about
the
3700
block
of
avenue
out
oliver
avenue
north
and
asked
why
their
block
was
included
in
the
street
resurfacing
when
it
had
been
reconstructed
in
2011,
as
it
turns
out.
D
If
you
know
it
on
the
map,
thirty
seventh
avenue
across
the
project
was
included
in
what
was
known
as
a
flutter.
Your
project,
600d
known
as
the
37th
avenue
north
green
wayne
Oliver
avenue
north
as
part
of
that
project,
was
also
reconstructed
from
37th
avenue
north
to
the
properties
addressed
at
37
38
and
37
39.
Oliver
avenue
north
approximately
400
feet
north
of
37th.
D
The
Public
Works
staff
recommends
at
this
part
of
Oliver
Avenue
North,
be
removed
from
the
pan,
pennies
to
McKinley
area
street
resurfacing
project
and
the
proposed
assessments
for
those
properties
abutting
the
reconstructed
street,
be
removed
from
the
proposed
special
assessment
roll.
These
property
owners
will
not
be
assessed
for
this
project.
A
Any
questions
for
the
presentation
seeing
none
I
will
open
the
public
hearing,
and
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
item
one,
which
is
the
projects
as
described
no
one
has
signed
in.
Does
anyone
wish
to
speak?
No
one
wishes
to
speak.
I
will
therefore
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
the
item,
noting
the
adjustments
that
staff
highlighted
in
the
presentation
any
further
discussion.
Customer
yang,
oh.
A
E
Name
is
Darin
McGowan,
I'm
a
block
leader
at
a
jordan
area
community
on
the
other
side
of
lowry,
and
just
I
just
got
this
information
from
one
of
my
neighbors
and
so
I'm
late
in
the
game
and
I
my
concern,
or
what
I'm
interested
in
wondering
is.
Why
is
the
residents
in
this
community
being
charged
for
this
resurfacing
on
top
of
other
projects?
E
We
just
got
hit
at
another
meeting
about
or
earlier
or
the
end
of
last
year
for
resurfacing
of
sidewalks,
and
so
we're
getting
tax
for
that
too,
as
well
as
our
property
taxes
being
raised
in
and
so
we're
getting
hit,
every
which
way
with
all
these
different
projects-
and
it's
taxing
us
more
and
more
for
a
property-
that's
not
going
up.
Did
that
make
any
sense.
Certainly.
E
So
it's
the
overburden
to
a
community,
that's
already
struggling
financially,
and
so
I'm
looking
through
this
trying
to
get
caught
up
and
then
I
got
another
question
about.
I
think
it's
the
Bottineau
project
that's
coming
down,
pin
and
so,
if
we're
going
to
resurface
it
and
then
they're
going
to
come
in
and
provide
new
construction
and
put
railways
in
on
the
road
that
we're
just
spending
a
couple
million
dollars
resurfacing.
E
A
To
the
your
second
question,
the
proposed
preferred
layout
for
Penn
actually
will
go
at
the
edge
of
the
city
and
not
down
Penn
Avenue.
I
know
that
was
one
of
the
options
considered,
but
that's
currently
not
on
the
table.
I
believe
it
will
brush
past
the
north
park
and
then
go
up.
Olson
memorial
highway
is
the
current
proposal
and,
of
course,
that's
a
pending
project
that
has
not
received
all
its
phone.
A
E
D
Mr.
chair
remember,
this
committee
on
our
resurfacing
project
was
established
in
2008,
and
the
council
approved
the
idea
that
we
would
assess
for
a
portion
of
the
work
typically
project.
These
neighborhood
projects
are
funded
by
a
combination
that
dead
bonds
in
assessments,
a
common
procedure
across
the
city.
All
the
all
the
different
projects
are
assessed.
The
same
way
we
develop
a
uniform
assessment
rate
each
year
so
that
all
the
properties
are
paying
the
same
rate
within
these
different
projects
each
year,
but
it
is.
D
A
F
Hey
turn
on
the
dress,
Richard
Shepherd
and
I
live
at
thirty
to
forty
to
colfax
avenue
north
and
I
received
the
letter
in
the
mail
saying
that
I
would
be
assessed
twelve
hundred
and
twenty
dollars
and
I.
Don't
let
me
say
this:
I
don't
have
a
not
opposed
to
resurfacing
and
making
things
better
and
in
minneapolis,
but
I
am
personally
concerned
about
my
safety,
so
I.
C
F
Afraid
in
my
home,
but
I
am
paying
for
resurfacing
of
a
street,
and
I
am
unprotected
in
my
home
and
I
just
feel
like.
When
did
infrastructure
become
more
important
than
people?
Last
year
my
home
was
shut
up,
I
have
I'm
a
single
parent
with
two
disabled
children,
and
I'm
here
I'm
getting
ready
to
pay
twelve
hundred
twenty
dollars
to
restructure
to
resurface
the
street,
but
I'm
unsafe
in
my
home
I.
Don't
understand
it
and
I
I.
Just
don't
I.
F
Don't
understand
that
to
me
if
I'm,
if
I'm
going
to
pay
something
I'm
willing
to
pay
whatever,
whatever
my
portion
is
but
I'm
saying
it,
could
you
at
least
make
it
safer
while
you're
resurfacing
that
that's
my
question
is
I'm
afraid
of
my
home.
I'll
have
nice
streets
but
I'm
scared
to
sleep
at
night.
A
Thank
you,
I,
don't
know
if
you
need
to
clarify
that
there's
two
different
sources
of
funds.
So
it's
not
a
you
know:
Public
Safety
dollars
at
the
expense
of
you
know:
infrastructure
dollars.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
if
Kennedy
wanted
to
explain
again
where
our
sources
are
of
the
police,
of
course,
and
public
safety
related
items
come
from
the
general
fund,
perhaps
you
could
illuminate
the
difference
of
the
funding
source
here
I.
Mr.
D
Chair
members
of
the
committee-
yes,
the
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
source
of
revenue
for
these
projects
are
through
assessments,
direct
assessments
to
the
property
owners,
as
well
as
some
net
debt
bond
funding.
The
debt
service
on
the
net
debt
bond
funding
does
come
from
property
taxes,
which
also
supports
public
safety
as
well,
and
this
is
a
battle
that
you
as
a
body
wrestle
with
every
year
as
to
balance
between
public
safety
and
infrastructure
and
all
the
other
computing
needs
for
for
the
city's
dollars
and
I.
A
D
A
G
G
D
You
may
be
talking
about
south
of
Lowry.
We
have
ray
rod
and
humboldt
as
part
of
the
project
that
extend
down
right.
Those
streets
are
the
main
part
of
the
project.
Are
the
residential
paving
projects
of
pan
penny
stand
McKenley,
but
we're
in
the
neighborhood.
These
two
two
streets
also
needed
work
just
made
sense
to
do
it
in
conjunction
with
that
for
some
economy
of
scale
we're
not
necessarily
looking
at
ward
boundaries.
G
D
G
Thank
you,
okay.
Mr.
chair
I
have
a
few
comments
on
on
februari.
I
think
it
was.
It
was
the
10th
when
the
meeting
was
I'm
went
to
the
community
meeting
and
you
know
it
doesn't
really
cover
much
of
work.
Five
actually
has
only
two
streets,
but
you
know
these
community
meetings
are
always
so
difficult
because
resins
come.
You
know.
A
lot
of
them
are
unhappy
about
the
assessments.
G
You
know
in
case
of
resurfacing
it's
about
a
quarter
of
the
cost
of
full
reconstruction,
but
I
mean
nonetheless
many
assessments
are
very
difficult
to
just
take
it
and
in
this
situation
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
happened
at
at
that
community
meeting
was
that
I
think
our
staff
misquoted
the
percentage
that
is
going
to
be
put
in
from
the
assessments
and
the
percentage
that's
going
to
put
in
from
the
city,
and
you
know
I
wanted
to
clarify.
You
know
at
the
meeting.
G
The
quote
was
that
ninety
eight
percent
was
going
to
come
from
assessment
and
two
percent
from
the
city,
and
that's
that's
not
right.
The
the
when
I
just
did
my
math.
Just
today.
You
know
seventy-five
percent
or
didn't
come
from
assessments
and
twenty-five
percent
is
going
to
come
from
the
city
and
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
just
to
not
scare
folks
because
I,
I
agree,
I
mean
I
think
when
we
members
come
in
and
they
look
at.
You
know
a
project
like
this,
and
you
know
ninety
eight
percent
is
coming
from
them
away.
G
It
seems
unusual,
I
mean
I,
wouldn't
that
out
of
the
realm
of
possibilities,
but
I
mean
I.
Think
that
seems
quite
unusual.
You
know
the
other
thing
about
this
community
meeting
was
that
you
know
I.
Think
generally
speaking,
sometimes
community
meetings
are
good
in
the
sense
that
you
know
we
get
to
really
see
on
the
streets.
What
you
know
is
there,
and
you
know
in
this
situation-
I'm
mr.
Davis
and
his
family
and
a
few
other
folks
who
live
on
on
or
around
37th
and
Oliver.
G
You
know
they
didn't
get
a
full
of
reconstruction
of
that
area
or
you
know
pretty
close
to
that
area.
You
know
about
three
or
four
years
ago,
and
so
we
know
in
that
situation
we
were
able
to
fix
that
situation,
and
you
know
I
really
want
to
commend
our
staff,
especially
out
Larry,
matsumoto
and
Susie
I
term
debt
for
being
at
the
commune
meeting
and
just
I
mean
taking
the
brunt
of
you.
G
G
You
know
for
the
most
part,
I
feel,
like
you
know,
I've
seen
resurfacing
projects
happen
in
Ward
5
and
you
know,
I
know
that
you
know
at
the
beginning.
Folks
are
unhappy
about
the
assessments,
but
once
it's
done
I
mean
I
will
tell
you,
people
love
it
and
people
appreciate
it
and
I
think,
generally
speaking
me
most
folks
is
kind
of
think.
Why
didn't
we
have
this
done
earlier?
And
so
you
know
I
wanted
to
say
those
sorts
of
things,
but
I
mean.
Most
importantly,
you
know
it's.
G
My
you
know
I'm
very
mindful
of
the
gentleman
who
came
up
and
spoke
about
the
the
folks
in
Ward
5,
especially
the
folks
who
live
in
Jordan,
having
to
me
essentially
be
double
billed
in
one
instance
at
the
sidewalks.
Obviously
just
happened
to
success
here,
and
it
happened
to
me
as
well
and
had
a
pretty
big
tab
for
that.
But
I'm.
G
Then
you
know
this
situation
with
being
assessed
for
resurfacing
and
you
know
I
I
think
it
sucks,
but
it's
it's
a
natural
course
of
you
know
living
in
the
city
like
this,
and
you
know:
I
I,
think
that
you
know
we
have
payment
plans
and
those
sorts
of
things
that
can
work
out
too
I
mean
at
least
make
it
a
little
bit
better.
I
mean,
I
don't
think
it's.
G
I
I
I'm
not
saying
that
I'm
ready
to
tackle
the
new
funding
scheme
either
because
I
think
that
would
be
an
enormous
challenge
to
figure
out
how
we're
actually
going
to
do
that
and
pay
for
our
roads
and
and
uniform
assessment
seems
to
be
the
best
option
that
we
have
here.
I
think
it
is
really
important,
though,
that
people
come
in
and
tell
us
what
they
think
and
what
their
views
are
of.
I
This
I
really
appreciate
hearing
with
public
safety
concerns,
we've
actually
increased
to
police
budget,
not
that
the
police
are
necessarily
going
to
be
the
solution
for
all
these
concerns,
but
we've
increased
their
budget
more
than
any
of
the
department
just
this
year.
I
think
we're
trying
to
address
that
or
trying
to
drill
down
on
that.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
maybe
emphasize
is
that
there
is
a
deferment
option,
especially
to
block
Club
leaders.
I
Council
passed
a
resolution
several
years
ago.
So
if
some
somebody
has
it's
a
homestead
property
and
there
are
over
65
years
or
they're
retired,
due
to
a
permanent
and
total
disability,
and
if
it's
a
hardship
to
make
the
payments,
there
is
a
deferment
option
and
you've
got
I.
Think
it's
important
that
people
are
aware
that
they
can
explore
that.
What
that
means
is
the
money
will
eventually
be
collected,
but
it
could
be
over
a
longer
period
of
time
and
I.
Think
people
should
be
aware
that,
because.
A
Thank
you
any
further
comments
or
questions
CNN.
I
will
move
items
one
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
dissent,
a
name
that
item
carries
and
yes,
there
is
staff
here
that
folks
can
talk
with
a
counselor
Gordon
had
pointed
out.
So
now
we
moved
to
the
second
public
hearing
of
the
day
item
two:
the
sale
of
the
city-owned
land
to
the
minnesota
sports
facility
authority.
A
J
J
The
property
in
question
is
two
pieces
of
land
that
are
associated
with
the
Metropolitan
or
the
minnesota
sports
facility
Authority
and
the
new
stadium
and
their
parcel
on
fourth
street
and
a
larger
parcel
on
fistrick.
Both
of
them
are
currently
are
right
away
and
the
the
Sports
Commission
has
vacay
or
position
petition
to
vacate
those
streets
and
those
have
been
passed
by
the
Planning,
Commission
and
they'll,
be
in
front
of
the
zoning
and
Sony
D&B
zoning
and
plans.
Scuze
me
this
thursday
for
recommend
big
or
that
than
recommended
to
vacate
with
and
once
they're
vacated.
J
The
property
then
goes
back
to
the
underlying
fee.
Title
owners-
and
in
this
case
the
city
owns
the
fee
title
and
under
the
land
disposition
act
our
policy
of
the
city,
the
city
convinced
sell
that
property
and
because
both
parcels
are
not
buildable,
but
he
then
can
sell
it
to
the
adjacent
property
owner,
which
this
case
would
be
the
sports
facility,
and
there
are
two
things
that
we
need
to
do
to
do.
That
one
is
that
the
property
needs
to
be
declared
excess
property
which
the
City
Attorney's
Office
has
done.
J
That,
and
the
second
part
is,
is
that
we
need
to
sell
it
at
market
value
to
establish
market
value.
We
had
the
property
appraised.
The
first
parcel
on
fourth
was
appraised
at
of
92
thousand
dollars,
and
the
second
partial
long
fifth
was
appraised
at
1
million
four
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars,
so
the
total
market
value
is
1
million
five
hundred
and
seventy
two
thousand
and
this
process
that
we're
following
the
same
process
that
we
would
do
anywhere
within
the
city.
So
it's
not
a
special
event,
but
it
follows
a
disposition
of
property.
J
The
money,
then,
would
go
into
the
city's
funds
and
there's
a
string
of
numbers
and
places.
That
is
on
your
report,
where
the
money
would
go,
and
this
has
been
reviewed
by
a
number
of
people.
It's
see
pet
and
others
in
the
city
staff
and
we
are
all
off
or
recommending
that
the
city
official
beak
I'll
authorize
us
to
who
our
real
estate
closing
and
execute
a
quitclaim
deed
to
the
minnesota
sports
facilities,
authority
for
the
sale
price
of
1
million.
Five
hundred
and
seventy
two
thousand
dollars
and
payable
to
the
city
fund
number.
J
Presses
typically,
we
most,
the
vast
majority
of
our
streets
are
in
what
we
call
a
street
easement
and
when
the
streets
vacated,
the
the
property
then
goes.
The
adjacent
properties
that
typically
is
split
down
the
middle.
But
in
this
particular
case,
when
the
original
the
football
saying
what
was
originally
constructed,
we
acquire
the
property
by
fee
title
and
therefore
we
are
now
the
underlying
fee
owners
and
therefore
we
would
need
to
sell
it.
Thank.
I
J
I
That's
interesting,
so
this
isn't
necessarily
for
you,
but
to
me
just
as
kind
of
a
regular
person
who's
trying
to
be
in
government
for
a
while
this
sort
of
feels
a
little
bit
like
it
could
be
a
deal
re
opener.
They
need
some
land
that
we
have
the
determination
about
whether
or
not
we
need
it
or
not.
I
know
that
fifth
Streets,
the
Randy,
the
RAM
from
the
freeway,
is
apparently
going
to
be
closed
soon
and
but
right
now
it
isn't
closed.
I
I
have
some
particular
issues
that
I,
probably
people
might
be
familiar
with
some
of
them,
but
we'll
pick
one
out
of
the
air
bumper
take
class.
For
some
reason.
We
pass
resolutions
unanimously.
Many
people
are
saying:
please,
you
know
sports
facilities
authority.
Could
you
just
do
this
and
they
say
no
sorry,
we
can't
do
that.
We
also
passed
a
resolution
about
when
the
commons
in
the
park
when
we
get
to
you
know
they
could
have
that
for
game
days
and
then
somehow
they
came
back
with
a
deal
saying.
I
We
want
it
for
game
based,
but
we
needed
for
the
day
before
the
game
and
the
day
after
the
game
and
we're
increasing
the
number
a
lot
so
I,
just
wonder
if
we
as
a
city
are
leveraging
this
to
maximize
the
benefit.
Out
of
that.
We
also
have
this
issue
with
a
parking
ramp.
That's
getting
built
that
the
sports
facility
authorities
also
got
their
fingers
into
and
we
thought
we
were
getting
at
revenue
from
the
parking.
And
now
we
have
a
deal.
I
That's
come
back
where
we
are
giving
away
parking
to
all
the
people
who
have
the
luxury
box
seats,
which
I
never
thought
was
what
the
council
actually
approved.
So
I'd,
rather
not
necessarily
just
give
I
appreciate
the
recommendation
and
of
course,
I
met.
No
BB
public
works,
great
work,
great
report
and
all
that,
but
I
feel
like
I.
I
Don't
want
to
just
give
this
the
stamp
of
approval
coming
through
the
committee
without
at
least
stopping
a
minute
and
saying:
can
we
have
a
little
bit
of
a
deeper
discussion
about
some
these
other
issues,
so
I
don't
think
I'm
going
to
support
it
right
now,
but
I'm
be
interested.
If
any
of
my
colleagues
on
the
committee
have
any
thoughts
about
it,
this
is
an
actual
spot
where
we
might
be
able
to
leverage
a
little
bit
more
and
get
a
little
bit
more
out
of
this
than
the
market
value
of
the
property.
I
A
L
A
A
Right
so
I
will
open
the
public
hearing.
I
did
anyone
sign
in
okay,
no
one
signed
in
to
the
clerk.
Does
anyone
wish
to
approach
anyone
with
her
approach?
People
not
seen
done.
I
would
close
the
public
hearing
and
now
move
the
item
before
us.
Any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
dissenting
no.
I
A
C
M
N
Mr.
chair
and
council
members,
I'm
Lacey
Shelby
I'm,
the
principal
urban
designer
with
the
city
and
we're
excited
to
share
with
you
some
of
our
work
that
we've
been
doing
over
the
past
year
and
then
some
we'd
like
to
show
you
a
video.
That's
just
a
quick
video
that
shows
you
the
construction
of
a
parklet,
it's
just
30
seconds
long,
so
it
should
be
quick.
N
M
M
So,
just
a
briefly
recap:
we
wanted
to
start
out
with
a
summary
of
how
the
2014
pilot
program
went.
So
last
year
we
constructed
parklets
at
three
pilot
locations.
The
one
of
the
locations
was
that
juxtaposition
arts
on
emerson
avenue
north
at
west
broadway,
a
second
location,
is
in
front
of
martin,
patrick
3
and
colonial
warehouse
in
the
North
Loop
neighborhood,
so
that
one's
on
third
avenue
north
between
washington
and
second
and
then
the
third
location,
was
spyhouse
coffee
at
nicollet
and
25th.
M
So
what
we've
discovered
with
the
pilot
program
was
that
this
was
everything
was
constructed
and
open
for
people
to
enjoy
September
15th
of
last
year.
It
ran
for
six
weeks
through
the
end
of
October,
and
in
that
time
we
with
our
evaluation
that
we
completed
with
the
the
hosts
for
those
sites.
We
discovered
that
we
had
approximately
1,300
visitors
to
all
of
those
locations
over
six
weeks,
which
was
pretty
astounding
in
addition
to
to
finding
out
what
the
visitation
was.
We
also
asked
some
questions
on
basic
maintenance
and
upkeep
for
which
the
hosts
were
responsible.
M
N
Mackenzie
and
I
are
very
enthusiastic
about,
what's
to
come,
weave
together,
developed
an
application
manual
for
community
members
residents
neighbors,
who
are
interested
in
developing
a
parklet
of
their
own.
This
process
mirrors
many
across
the
country
which
invites
individuals
to
propose
potential
locations
and
designs
to
create
additional
public
spaces
in
their
neighborhoods.
This
is
part
of
a
broader
goal
that
we're
working
together
to
investigate
of
how
private
investment
can
occur
in
the
public
realm.
M
So,
just
a
few
aspects
of
how
this
program
will
work.
Some
of
the
some
of
the
guidance
on
this
is
for
the
sighting
so
specific
to
that
we're
going
to
start
out
with
the
parklets
kind
of
the
very
base
filter
for
this
is
that
it
has
to
be
located
in
a
commercial
corridor,
a
community
corridor,
an
activity
center
or
a
commercial
node.
So
these
are
the
areas
with
kind
of
supportive,
complimentary
activity
already
happening,
but
that
could
be
boosted
from
from
a
park
or
being
present.
M
So
some
of
the
specifics
are
that
we're
counting
for
is
that
the
structure
can't
block
existing
drainage
patterns
must
be
in
an
unrestricted
parking
Lane,
so
a
place
where
a
vehicle
is
allowed
to
be
parked
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
absolutely
no
rush
hour
restrictions,
anything
like
that
on
streets,
with
traffic
speeds
of
30
miles
per
hour
or
less.
In
addition,
we
can't
block
any
public
utilities,
so
part
of
that
as
well
will
be
accommodating
any
street
maintenance
or
construction
projects
or
capital
improvements.
M
Some
of
the
additional
design
guidelines
are
that
the
structures
have
to
have
enclosures
on
three
sides.
That's
kind
of
what
we
had
last
year
as
well,
not
kind
of
exactly.
We
had
planters
along
each
side
that
were
planted
with
different
Hardy
Minnesota,
appropriate
plantings,
additional
design
guidelines
and
required
features
are
that
we
much
like
you
have
seen
with
with
the
pilot
structures
as
well
as
our
bicycle.
Proud
program
is
that
we
will
have
requirements
for
specific
traffic
control.
Devices
like
the
reflective,
flexible
delineators
at
the
corners
should
give
that
vertical.
N
Additional
requirements
include
the
platform
be
designed
for
the
intended
use,
I'm,
also
we're
encouraging
a
range
of
amenities
to
be
included
in
the
parklets,
including
seating
and
planting,
and
that
sort
of
thing
some
other
features
that
we
found
based
on
the
pilot
is
that
having
potentially
programmed
activities
can
be
a
real
boost
to
the
parklet
program.
The
goal
of
this
year's
program
is
to
hear
from
a
lot
of
different
communities,
find
a
diversity
of
locations
and
to
work
with
them
to
see
what
this
could
potentially
become
and
grow
into.
M
A
B
You
mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
both
so
much
for
all
your
work
on
this
I've
been
harassing
Public
Works
and
see
ped
staff
about
this
for
a
year
and
I.
Think
parklets
are
such
an
incredible
opportunity
for
our
city,
as
you
mentioned
a
way
for
small
businesses
to
contribute
private
dollars
to
our
public
realm.
It's
a
way
to
enliven
local
community
centers
and
commercial
districts,
and
really
these
small
amenities
can
help
transform
our
urban
neighborhoods
and
so
I.
Just
think
this
is
such
a
great
thing
for
our
city
to
be
pursuing.
B
H
M
H
Is
that,
because
often
there
are
these,
you
know
back
and
forth
about
parking,
and
is
this
gonna,
you
know
what's
a
business
affecting
to
be
but
I
think
some
businesses
are
really
seeing
this
as
a
great
opportunity
and
I
think
that
you've
helped
create
that
that
atmosphere
with
how
the
the
project
was
run
over
the
last
year.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
G
M
Chair
and
councilmember
yang
so
since
our
pilot
program
was
very
truncated
compared
to
what
we
would
have
preferred
this
year,
we
are
looking
to
to
put
the
pilot
structures
back
into
their
locations
that
they
were
in
last
year.
So
this
you
for
those
three
structures
that
the
city
owns
this.
You
will
kind
of
be
pilot,
2,
point
0
of
sorts
just
to
give
them
a
better
chance
to
really
get
a
grasp
on
it.
M
And
so
we
have
confirmed
that
the
structure
at
juxtaposition-
arts
will
return
this
year
and
we
are
still
awaiting
confirmation
to
see
whether
or
not
the
structures
will
return
to
clone
a
warehouse
location
and
the
spyhouse
location.
I
believe
at
this
time
that
the
colonial
warehouse
location
has
determined
that
they
would
like
to
not
have
that
structure
in
place
this
year
due
to
adjacent
construction
activities
that
are
taking
place.
But
we
are
awaiting
full
confirmation
on
those
last
two
sites.
N
L
You
mr.
Church
just
a
question
because
and
thank
you
for
your
work-
they
echo
my
colleagues
thoughts
on
that.
How
many
applications
do
you
think
that
parklets
could
support
this
year
and
how
how
Mike
competing
applications
be
viewed
like
within
a
within
a
particular
block,
or
you
know
a
business
block
how
it
would
it
be
like
a
first
applicant?
Would
you
allow
multiple
parklets
within
a
block
of
a
commercial
corridor
or
kind
of
what
are
the?
What
are
the
exclusions?
I
guess
is
my
question.
L
N
Chair
and
council
member
Paul
mazama,
palmisano
and
chair,
we
are
expecting
several
applications
but
we're
having
a
pre-application
sort
of
procedure
which
requires
people
to
fill
out
a
form
that
go
over
the
basic
requirements
ensuring
that
their
meeting
sort
of
the
minimum
requirements,
whether
it's
speed,
then
specific
location
as
identified
and
the
comprehensive
plan
in
terms
of
the
land
use
and
the
adjacent
land
uses.
So
we
imagine
that
to
call
out
a
lot
of
potential
locations,
because
we
wouldn't
want
residential
sites
to
sort
of
come
into
that
piece.
N
However,
I
would
imagine,
since
we
have
to
also
way
the
applicants
capacity
to
design
and
construct
that
we
might
see
maybe
8
to
15
applications
and
then
from
that
we
need
to
work
with
each
of
the
community
members.
But
I
can't
speak
directly
to
how
many
I
think
would
be
our
capacity,
but
we
would
like
to
see
a
distribution.
I
think,
based
on
the
projects
that
we
have
seen
across
the
country.
In
terms
of
parklet
capacity,
probably
one
per
block
and
being
supported
by
adjacent
business
uses
has
been
most
compatible
and
successful.
A
Thank
you
any
further
questions
or
comments.
I
seen
that
I'll
echo
the
thanks
for
the
work,
it's
really
a
great
innovative
idea,
which
has
already
shown
some
success
in
terms
of
prosocial
intentional
communities,
making
a
positive
presence
in
our
commercial
areas,
and
we
will
continue
to
be
very
engaged.
It
seems
like
with
our
pilot
2
point.
A
0
will
be
able
to
collect
data
as
my
understanding
and
then
I
suppose
any
new
with
our
first
round
of
sort
of
the
process,
the
manual
applicant
driven
process
I,
will
still
probably
keep
pretty
close
tabs
as
we
launch
this
out
in
in
the
in
this
way.
So
with
that,
I
will
move
to
receive
and
file
the
report
and
following
presentation,
any
further
discussion
see
none
all
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
I
sent
a
name,
and
that
concludes
our
agenda.
We
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
