Yes,
thank

Mr.

at
our
january
fifteenth
Committee
of
the
Whole
a
meeting,
we
considered
a
number
of
items.
First,
a
land
sale
at
14-18,
sheridan
avenue
north.
We
found
that
sale
of
that
property
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
We
also
considered
several
other
land
sales
as
part
of
the
green
homes.
North

I'll
read
those
addresses

and
3115
sheridan

and
also
found
that
those
property
sales
are
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
We
also
considered
appointments
to
the
board
of
adjustment
and
considered
appointments
of
anya
Drescher,
Matt,
Perry
and
Jacob
softly
and
approved
those
appointments.
A
Moved
is
there
a
second
moved

seconded
any
discussion
on
the
report
from
the
Committee
of
the
Whole,
if
not
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
No
action
item.
We
turn
now
to
the
public
hearings.
First
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
again
on
the
items
that
we
believe
will
be
on
the
consent
agenda
items
1
2,
3,
4,
&
6,
so
the
public
hearing
is
open
again.
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
any
one
of
these
five
items-
please
let
us
know
now.
A
If
there
is
no
one,
we
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
those
five
items,
as
recommended
by
staff,
so
moved
moved
and
seconded
any
discussion.
I
don't
see
any
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
pposed,
okay,
those
five
items
are
approved.
We
turn
now
to
our
one
item
for
discussion.
Item
number
five,
which
is
bond
ocelli
at
1901,
fillmore
street
northeast
and
staff
report
will
come
from
hillary
dvorak.
D
D
Exchange
the
existing
grocery
store
in
the
building
to
a
restaurant
and
the
restaurant
does
want
to
seek
a
beer
and
wine
license
in
order
to
do
that,
the
property
would
need
to
be
zoned
commercial,
so
the
applications
before
you
then
are
a
rezoning
from
the
are
to
be
zoning
district
to
the
c1
zoning
district,
a
variance
of
enclosed
building
standards
to
allow
outdoor
grilling
and
then
the
variance
to
reduce
the
minimum
drive
I'll
with
from
22
feet
down
to
12
feet.
11
inches.
D
So,
as
you
can
see
on
the
overhead
around
the
zoning
map,
excuse
me:
the
property
is
located
amongst
a
large
area
of
our
to
be
zoning.
There
is
commercial
zoning
towards
Central,
Avenue
and
then
also
towards
johnson
avenue.
Central
is
to
the
west
and
johnson
is
to
the
east,
and
there
are
commercial
nodes
and
high
intensity
uses
allocate
along
both
of
those
streets,
but
this
is
a
primarily
residential
building,
however,
or
neighborhood
I
should
say.
But,
however,
this
is
a
mixed-use
building
and
has
been
a
mixed-use
building.
D
Since
the
late
1800s
Early
1900s
of
this
property
started
off
as
1901
Fillmore
in
the
1907
film
were
each
had
a
residential
structure
on
it
over
time
they
were
joined
together
by
commercial
establishments
and
that
commercial
establishment
became
one
use
currently
now
the
grocery
store.
So
this
is
the
site
plan.
Sorry
orient
this
sorry,
so
this
is
the
site
plan.
D
The
groceries
or
the
restaurant
excuse
me
would
be
located
in
this
area.
This
would
these
are
the
existing
apartments
and
then
there
are
second
floor
apartments
in
the
building.
There
is
an
existing
garage
on
the
property
that
will
remain.
The
grills
that
the
applicant
would
be
proposing
to
use
would
be
located
here
towards
the
interior
of
the
building
of
this.
Since
all
the
additions
have
been
done,
it
is
shaped
like
a
C's
of
those
would
be
concealed
by
the
building
itself.
D
The
applicant
has
indicated
that
several
times
during
the
week,
grilling
would
be
done
and
they
are
the
applicant
is
actually
here
on.
The
end
can
speak
to
this
in
more
detail
and
then
in
the
winter
it
would
just
be
on
it
on
occasion.
The
parking
spaces
that
they
want
to
add
are
located
in
this
corner
of
the
site
off
of
that
public
alley
on
the
block,
the
drive
aisle
requirement
would
be
22
feet.
So,
if
you
added
an
additional
10
feet
on,
you
know
almost
10
feet
on
to
that.
D
The
parking
would
have
come
well
into
the
middle
of
the
site,
and
since
it
is
off
of
the
alley,
instead
of
adding
more
impervious
surface
to
the
site,
they
thought
they
would
take
advantage
of
that
existing
alleyway
still
having
12
feet
of
driveway
on
their
site.
With
those
parking
spaces,
and
so
they
are
proposing
to
have
to
reduce
that
drive
home,
the
one
condition
on
on
that
variance,
however,
is
there
needs
to
be
five
feet
of
green
space
or
landscaped
yard
between
the
adjacent
residential
property
and
then
those
parking
spaces.
D
So
they
would
have
to
reduce
the
number
of
spaces
shown
in
that
area
by
one
or
find
an
alternative
location
for
the
trash
and
recycling
area.
However,
they
choose
to
do
that,
but
the
final
site
plan
that
comes
in
would
need
to
show
that
five
feet
of
green
space
there,
because
I
can't
but
up
right
against
that
space.
D
The
other
notes
that
we
pointed
out
just
in
the
background
is
currently-
and
this
is
an
existing
condition,
as
the
driveway
is
located
all
the
way
up
to
the
public
sidewalk
there
along
19th
Avenue,
and
we
are
encouraging
them
to
continue
to
work
with
staff
to
try
to
get
some
kind
of
buffer
on
whether
that
be
a
couple
more
feet
of
pavement
into
the
site
or
looking
at
a
slightly
different
configuration
in
that
area.
To
try
to
get
green
space
excuse
me
could.
D
D
It's
weird:
it's
full
screen
on
this
little
monitor
so
I
assumed
it
was
exactly
what
you
were
seeing
I
apologize
for
that.
So
this
is
the
area
where
the
the
driveway
is
currently
paved
up
to
that
property
line
line
along
19th
Avenue.
However,
I
will
note
we
made
it
as
an
encouragement
instead
of
a
recommendation,
because
none
of
these
spaces
actually
meet
the
drive
I'll
with
requirement.
That's
why
there
is
so
much
grandfathered
parking.
They
either
meet
the
drive,
I'll
requirement
and
have
no
parking
or
they
have
parking
without
a
correct
drive
island.
D
So
if
they
were
to
reduce
us,
it
would
make
it
more
difficult
to
get
into
those
spaces,
so
we're
just
trying
to
encourage
them
to
work
with
us.
I
will
also
just
point
out
some
of
the
changes
that
they're
proposing
to
the
site
or
to
the
building.
Excuse
me,
and
they
have.
There
is
actually
a
letter
in
your
packets
tonight
from
the
neighborhood
organization,
who
is
supportive
of
all
of
these
applications.
D
That
leads
out
to
what
they're
going
to
have
his
outdoor
seating,
so
they
are
making
some
improvements
to
the
building,
adding
a
new
cornice
line,
a
new
balcony
over
balcony,
railing
I
should
say,
and
then
painting
the
overall
building
and
adding
some
new
light
fixtures.
So
that
is
what
that
facade
grant
that
they've
received
is
going
to
go
towards.
D
C
Thank
you,
Hilary,
I'm
just
wondering
in
many
instances,
we've
accommodated
these
isolated
commercial
uses
and
more
residential
areas
through
a
change
of
non-conforming
use
application,
as
opposed
to
rezoning
in
this
instance.
Is
there
a
reason
you
would
recommend
it
for
a
full,
fledged
rezoning,
yep.
D
In
this
case,
because
of
the
beer
and
wine
license
that
they
would
like
to
seek
so
we
did,
we
did
talk
about
both
options
when
the
applicants
first
came
in
and
the
change
did
not
confirm
in
use
or
the
rezoning
because
of
the
beer
and
wine
they
would
have
to
get
that
commercial
zoning
classification
I'm.
So
in
this
case,
what
we,
what
arts,
you've
had
staff
soup
heads
advice
to
the
applicant
was
you
do
need
to
obtain
the
two-thirds
consent
signatures
from
the
property
owners
that
live
within
100
feet
of
the
property?
D
So
go
talk
to
your
neighborhood
organization
and
go
talk
to
your
neighbors.
They
were
able
to
get
the
consent
signatures,
not
that
that's
the
only
reason
why
we
are
recommending
approval,
but
we
we
did.
We
do
have
comprehensive
plan
policy,
is
to
support
a
rezoning,
this
location
and
the
fact
that
the
building
has
been
commercially
used
for
over
a
hundred
years.
D
D
A
E
I'm
laura
bona
celli.
I
live
at
1928
fifth
street
northeast
apolis,
so
I'm,
the
applicant
I
own,
a
business
called
Monacelli
fresh
meal
delivery,
which
is
now
coming
up
on
7
years
old.
We
deliver
all
over
the
Twin
Cities
made
from
scratch
food
and
want
to
develop
this
into
a
small
restaurant
space
Delhi
store
so
that
we
can
cook
more
of
our
food
and
get
it
to
more
people
in
the
neighborhood.
A
A
F
My
name
is
Lauren
degnan
and
I
love
it
1821,
fillmore
street
northeast,
so
right
down
the
block.
Firstly,
I
have
to
say
I'm
very
excited
about
this
difference,
but
have
a
couple
questions
as
we
do
have
a
little
quicky,
Mart
more
of
that
style
than
a
grocery
store
there
right
now,
a
lot
of
traffic
is
coming
and
going
so
we
don't
see
the
same
traffic
issues
as
we
would
with
a
proposed
40
feet:
restaurant
I'm.
F
So
some
of
my
concerns
as
someone
that
lives
in
the
neighborhood
and
a
lot
of
in
a
place
where
there
are
multiple
family
dwellings.
We
don't
have
very
much
parking
on
the
street
and
I
wonder
what
the
implications
are
of
a
40-seat,
a
restaurant.
So
in
that
possibility
of
extra
parking
spots,
that
will
be
greatly
appreciated
in
terms
of
people
from
the
neighborhood
and
then
my
other
question
is
just
the
implications
of
the
beer
and
wine
license
on
the
neighborhood
in
that
way.
F
A
G
Luck
like
nerd
and
my
address
is
1847
fillmore
street
northeast.
So
we
are
the
house
directly
across
the
street
from
the
proposed
new
business
in
general.
My
partner,
Josh,
Mortensen
and
I
have
been
in
favor
of
this
rezoning,
a
business
change
since
we
heard
rumors
of
it
several
months
ago.
We've
actually
met
with
Laura
on
several
occasions
and
just
as
a
quick
back
story
really
is
a
point
of
reference
from
where
we're
coming
from.
G
So
after
that,
obviously
a
zoning
change
to
an
establishment
that
doesn't
perpetuate
such
activities
sounds
like
a
boon
to
our
yard.
In
our
sanity
as
well,
we
discussed,
as
I
mentioned,
the
proposed
restaurant
concept
with
Laura
in
person,
as
well
as
the
owner
of
the
property,
and
we
believe
in
principle
that
it
should
improve
the
neighborhood
in
a
number
of
respects.
However,
as
I
would
concur
with
Lauren,
there
are
several
concerns
that
we
would
like
to
see.
Address
parking,
of
course,
could
potentially
be
a
natural
issue,
especially
in
a
mostly
residential
area.
G
Our
corner
is
especially
unique
in
that
the
intersection
is
not
a
true
cross,
shaped
intersection
and
due
to
the
nature
of
the
store
and
the
business
and
on-street
parking
were
just
very
concerned
about
the
availability
of
parking
and
what
that
will
do
in
general
to
the
traffic
flow.
Through
that
area,
we
would
recommend
to
the
Zoning
Board
into
Laura
Laura
Bennett
Shelley,
that
they
look
at
the
availability
of
parking
to
mitigate
any
risk
of
undue
traffic
flow
issues
that
might
arise
in
the
area.
G
The
second
point
of
concern
that
we
have
our
is
the
outdoor
grill
concept.
The
outdoor
grill
seems
to
be
a
relatively
recent
evolution.
That
has
happened,
and
again
we
do
have
concerns
regarding
this
concept.
Both
in
terms
of
neighborhood
air
quality
and
fire
safety,
one
of
the
inherent
potential
issues
with
outdoor
grilling-
it's
of
course,
the
orders
that
would
permeate
throughout
the
neighborhood
during
the
time
that
the
girls
are
in
operation.
G
Finally,
garbage
and
pest
control,
although
the
b-line
does
deal
with
foodstuffs,
a
restaurant
that
is
preparing
food
can
definitely
create
a
different
level
of
food
and
waste
products,
and
those
products
could
naturally
attract
vermin
such
as
roaches
mice,
and
create,
in
addition,
more
street
trash.
We
would
just
like
to
hear
what
plans
are
in
place
to
ensure
and
make
sure
that
these
issues
are
addressed
proactively.
G
A
Ok,
I
jack.
Yes,
sir
I'm
wondering
were
you
at
the
neighborhood
meeting,
where
this
was
discussed,
that
that
would
be
a
would
have
been
a
good
place
to
get
these
explanations.
Well,
we'll
see
if
commissioners
here
care
about
the
LA
want
to
ask
about
those
questions,
but
I
see
okay,
well,
I'm
sure
the
applicant
will
be
happy
to
chat
with
you
about
those
concerns.
A
H
A
A
C
I'll,
just
very
quickly
add
I
do
think
this
rezoning
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
As
I
mentioned
my
question
in
the
past,
we've
accommodated
these
type
of
uses
through
a
change
in
non-conforming
use
process
and
in
a
lot
of
instances,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
it's
clear
that
the
urban
neighborhood
designation
and
the
comprehensive
plan
allows
for
a
limited
commercial
I
think
it
is
a
good
use
for
an
older
commercial
building
like
this.
It's
unlikely
that
someone
would
you
the
entire
building
is
as
a
residential
property,
so
I'm
supportive
of
the
rezoning
okay.

I
just
wanted
to
briefly:
I'm
just
really
touch
on
the
parking,
real,
quick,
the
issues
just
to
explain
it
to
them.
We're
being
asked
to
vote.
The
only
thing
thats
related
to
parking
is
about
the
drive
iowa
and
if
we
didn't
approve
their
application
to
vary
that
minimum
you'd
actually
have
a
less
off
street
parking,
we
we
aren't
allowed
to
mandate
that
they
have
more
parking
than
what's
required.
B
So
not
that
we're
ignoring
your
concerns,
but
please
understand
that
when
we,
when
I'm
voting
and
parent
know
how
they're
gonna
vote
but
I'm
voting
in
favor
of
this,
it's
because
I'm
I
want
to
encourage
them
to
have
as
much
as
possible
as
reasonable,
and
this
looks
quite
reasonable
for
this
site,
so
but
the
exception
of
that
strip
for
great
landscaping.
So
I
know
you.
A

No
announcements,
president
tucker,
but
I
just
like
to
thank
you
for
your
time
as
president
of
this
commission.
This
is
your
last
likely
your
last
full
public
hearing
as
president
and
I'll
save
the
bigger
speech
for
when
the
real
farewell,
because
you,
I
think,
you'll
be
sticking
around
for
a
while,
but
you've
really
done
a
magnificent
job
in
moving
this
commission
forward
in
the
right
direction
and
running
these
meetings,
and
you
will
be
missed
in
this
role.
Well,.
