Minneapolis Economic Development & Regulatory Services Committee Meeting
A
A
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
the
regularly
scheduled
mini
meeting
of
the
economic
development
and
regulatory
services
committee
for
today's
September
25th
we've
been
joined
by
council
members,
Fletcher
Ellison,
Corden
and
Cunningham,
which
is
a
quorum
of
our
committee
I'm,
going
to
start
with
our
consent
agenda,
which
is
essentially
items
6
through
17.
They
include
a
number
of
rental
license,
reinstatements
and
rental
license
conditions
as
well
as
business
license
operating
conditions
and
business
plan.
Amendments
I'll
also
note.
All
of
the
regular
licenses
are
in
this
consent
agenda
as
well.
A
I'd
like
to
move
the
consent
agenda
and
make
sure
that
item
number
17
is
referred
to
HPD.
That
will
be
taken
up
in
the
housing
policy
committee,
which
is
the
inclusionary
zoning
affordability
enforcement
ordinance.
So
I
am
moving
the
consent
agenda
with
the
change
in
referral
on
item
17.
Are
there
any
questions
on
that
motion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Those
items
are
approved.

A
H

My
address
shoe
30:52
1st
Avenue,
so
we
currently
have
a
gas
station
30
51st,
Avenue
South
and
my
dad's
had
that
for
about
20
years
now
and
dude
his
illness
I
kind
of
jumped
on
in
after
I
finished
my
degree
over
at
the
U
and
by
the
help
of
the
amazing
Amanda
Chavez
inspector
Mann
Eva's,
we
were
able
to
get
our
tobacco
license
within
our
gas
station.
I
just
want
to
stress
that
you
know
we
have
amazing
employees
at
our
store.
We've
had
one
employee
since
2003
Glynda,
she's,
amazing,
but
our
manager
and
another
one.
H
Since
2011,
we
do
card
every
individual
that
walks
within
our
store,
and
we
understand
that,
beginning
on
October
1st,
the
legal
age
to
buy
tobacco.
In
the
statement,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
going
to
be
21.
All
my
employees
have
been
trained
on
that
there's
actually
a
little
test
that
we
took
online
as
well
as
I.
Have
signage
ready
to
go
for
that
as
well,
and
all
my
employees
are
excited
for
potentially
more
hours
today,
so
thank
you.
Thank.
A
E
A
B
You,
madam
chair
item,
number
four,
is
from
applicant
bar
pizza,
LLC
doing
business
as
good
times
it's
located
at
322,
West
38th
Street,
and
it's
was
formerly
a
Peter
Pan
cleaners.
It
the
requested
licenses
for
an
on
sale
wine
stronger
license
with
classy
entertainment.
The
premises
is
located
on
a
one-story
building
on
the
corner
of
38th
Street
and
Grand
Avenue
south
in
south
Minneapolis.
There's
approximately
1,100
square
feet
for
seating
for
30
people
in
this
establishment
and
there's
no
outdoor
area.
The
business
will
be
run
as
a
full-service
restaurant
and
the
entertainment
allowed.
B
As
background
entertainment
and
again
I
mentioned,
there
was
no
outdoor
area.
Public
hearing
is
required
for
this
establishment
and
residents
and
property
owners
within
600
feet
were
given
notice.
We've
received
nine
responses,
eight
in
support
and
one
and
support
our
concern
of
parking
in
nearby
schools.
I
think
when
we
get
around
eight
in
written
responses
in
support
is
pretty
impressive
and
I
concur
with
lead
inspector
Julie
Casey,
as
she
did
her
minimum
qualifications
for
the
establishment
that
the
recommendation
is
for
approval
are.
A
There
any
questions
from
his
Roberts
on
item
number
four,
seeing
none
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
four,
which
is
an
on
sale,
Class
E
license
for
good
times
at
3322,
West,
38th
Street.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
Please
step
forward
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
I
Hi,
my
name
is
Franz
Gilbertson
and
we're
working
on
opening
good
times
at
322,
West,
38th,
Street
and
South
Minneapolis
it'll
be
a
fast
casual
pizza,
spot
specializing
in
a
particular
type
of
pizza,
in
addition
to
popcorn
and
ice
cream,
cones
and
various
beverages.
So
that's
so
that's
the
plan.
Well,.
A
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
last
public
hearing
is
from
applicant
Keri
boonie
doing
business
as
Keri
booney
cafe,
Keri
boonie
is
Swahili
for
welcome.
They
are
making
an
application
at
1418,
East
Lake
Street
for
a
sidewalk
cafe
at
restaurants
that
they
have
built
in
a
newly
constructed
space.
They've
been
there
since
August
of
2018.
The
space
of
the
sidewalk
cafe
is
for
I'm,
sorry
I'm.
Looking
for
that
ten
tables
and
20
chairs.
So
for
20,
it
has
been
reviewed
from
my
minimum
standards
by
the
inspector
who
is
Jennifer
Baird
and
by
Public
Works.
B
A
There
any
questions
for
Miss
Roberts
on
item
number,
five,
seeing
none
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
five,
which
is
the
psyche
sidewalk
cafe
license.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue,
anyone
anyone
seeing
none,
we'll
close
the
public
hearing,
councilmember
Cano?
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
would
like
to
move
this
item
forward.
Item
number
five
has
been
moved
for
approval.
Are
there
any
other
comments
or
questions,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
all
right,
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved.
A
Our
remaining
item
is
a
quick
update
by
mr.
Moreno
on
rental
tearing
changes
after
sale
update.
Many
of
you
probably
recall.
We.
There
were
some
concerns
by
members
of
the
community
with
regard
to
how
we
handle
tear
changes
after
there's
been
a
sale
of
the
property
and
I
understand.
The
folks
in
drag.
Services
have
been
looking
into
this
and
offered
to
do
a
report
and
I
thought
that
was
probably
a
good
idea
given.
That
was
an
issue
we
had
discussed
in
committee
and
mr.
McGraw
know.
Who
does
the
work
is
here
to
give
the
reports?
K
Just
let
this
load
up
here
it
might
take
a
second,
it's
pretty
short
presentation.
I
think
you
might
have
received
some
information
about
it,
but
I'm
Nick,
Moreno,
legal
coordinator
and
regulatory
services,
so
regulatory
services,
which
runs
the
cities,
rental
licensing
program,
implemented
a
series
of
tiered
rental
licenses
several
years
ago
previously
with
rental
properties
that
were
tier
3.
K
K
Yeah,
so
we
used
to
not
allow
people
to
change
tears.
It
was
based
on
the
property
rather
than
the
property
owner,
and
so,
if
you
were
to
say,
take
over
some
properties
that
weren't
in
great
shape
and
had
a
bad
history,
we
would
still
continue
to
bill
you
at
the
previous
tr3
amount
and
you,
you
know,
have
more
intense
inspections,
but
you
know
mostly
there
was
that
increased
fee,
and
so
now
we're
re-evaluating
that
and
allowing
people
if
they
meet
all
these
conditions,
to
be
able
to
go
down
to
the
lower-priced
here.
So.
A
A
E
I
think
this
is
I'm
excited
by
the
potential
of
sort
of
moving.
This
direction
just
wanted
to
get
some
clarification,
because
I
can't
remember
who,
but
somebody
was
concerned
that
we're
going
to
be
making
sure
that,
if
we're
that
before
we
change
the
tear
that
that
we
are
that
the
property
actually
has
been
improved
right
and
that
somebody
doesn't
just
kind
of
automatically
the
building
doesn't
just
changed
here
arbitrarily
just
because
of
the
sale.
E
So
we're
trying
not
to
punish
new
buyers
but
at
the
same
time,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
leave
so
tenants
sort
of
on
the
sort
of
out
to
dry
in
this
process.
And
so
I
guess
that's
not
really
a
question,
but
just
just
a
concern
that
had
been
kind
of
vocalized
to
me.
If
you
wanted
to
Claire,
you
know
clarify
our
address
at
all.
K
Yeah,
chair,
Goodman,
remember
Ellison,
so
you
know
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
that
this
was
initially
set
up.
This
way
is
that
you
know
properties
sometimes
do
change
hands
a
lot
and
there
might
be
a
lot
of
different
LLC's.
There
might
be
different
shell
companies
and
it
wasn't
always
kind
of
clear
you
know.
If
is
there,
are
new
owners
they're,
not
a
new
owner,
and
so
we
stuck
the
tiers
with
the
properties
to
sort
of
get
at
that,
and
this
is
something
that
we
think
will
help
deal
with,
that
the.
A
Other
thing
I
just
want
to
mention-
and
this
comes
from
comes
from
someone
who
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
tier
2,
&
3
properties
in
my
word.
I
was
surprised
to
hear
what
it
would
take
to
go
from
a
tier
1
to
tier
2.
So,
for
example,
in
Harrison
I
have
a
property
owner
in
bryn
mawr,
also
on
some
property
in
Harrison.
They
didn't
pay
their
bill
on
time
and
one
of
their
tenants
had
an
expired
tab
and.
A
Them
from
tier
1
to
tier
2,
and
when
that
happens,
they
don't
tell
you
why
you're
bumped
to
a
tier
2
until
you
pay
the
higher
fee,
and
then
they
tell
you,
and
sometimes
they
don't
even
tell
you
the
real
exact
reason
we
had
to
dig
to
find
out
what
it
was,
and
so
it
could
often
be
not
building
issues.
It
could
be
late
payment
of
fees.
That's
a
big
point,
chunk
right,
like
15
points
or
something.
If
you
don't
pay
your
bill
on
time.
A
L
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
drill
down
a
little
bit
on
some
of
these
bullet
points,
so
no
properties
citations
for
non-compliance
within
the
last
two
years.
That
means
you
could
have
a
citation
for
something,
but
you
took
care
of
it.
But
if
you
had
a
citation-
and
it
said,
get
your
graphs
cut
in
10
days
and
you
didn't
get
it
cut
in
10
days
and
they
came
back
and
gave
you
another
citation
and
a
fine.
Then
that
would
be
a
ding
that
would
prohibit
you
from
getting.
K
L
Guess
so
what
be
an
administrative
citation
example
that
would
be
fairly
minor
I'm
looking
for
it
seems
like
two
years
for
one
citation
for
non-compliance,
it's
a
pretty
could
be
a.
We
could
look
at
somebody,
and
we
could
say:
oh
you've
had
one
other
rental
property
for
35
years,
and
you've
really
had
a
good
record
and
now
you're
buying
a
second
one.
L
L
M
L
That's
just
kind
of
my
my
feedback
is
I
I
appreciate
where
we're
going
with
this
I
think
the
objective
criteria
that
we
need
to
determine
whether
or
not
you're
you
know
worthy
of
getting
a
tier-one
redo,
something
to
keep
thinking
about.
I,
don't
you
know,
I'm
I
know
you're
thinking
about
it
all,
but
you
came
here
asking
for
feedback,
and
so
I
gave
you
a
little
bit.
Yes
noted.
K
J
Think
your
Goodman
I
looking
at
this
I,
see
the
rationale
behind
it.
I
see
the
logic
and
I
think
in
a
lot
of
ways.
It
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
I
understand
why.
The
thing
that
we
want
to
have
happen
is
for
properties
that
are
being
poorly
maintained
to
be
purchased
by
people.
Who'll
maintain
them
better,
and
we
want
to
kind
of
incentivize
that
I'm
wondering
here.
J
If
we
think
the
impact
is
going
to
be
that
this
incentivizes
people
to
do
that,
if
this
takes
some
of
the
onus
off
of
a
tier
3
property
for
someone
who
has
a
good
record,
a
good
track
record
of
doing
this
or
if
by
sort
of
taking
the
stigma
off
of
a
tier
3
property,
do
we
raise
the
sale
price
for
the
bad
landlord?
Do
we
make
it?
You
know
more
appealing
for
purchase
and
it's
essentially,
you
know,
take
away.
K
Chair
Goodman,
a
council
member,
Fletcher,
I,
think
that's
possible.
That
mean
if
you
were
selling
a
property
and
if
you
have
an
experienced
rental
owner
who's
very
familiar
with
the
tier
setup
that
we
have
and
they
know
that
they're
gonna
be
tension,
t
be
paying
a
higher
tier
fee
for
Fears
because
they
don't
meet
those
conditions.
Yeah
that
would
I
imagine
be
something
they
would
take
any
consideration
for
the
sale
price
and
then.
J
I
understand
the
push-pull
of
that
right,
because
having
I
could
imagine
that
a
first-time
property
manager
has
a
lower
likelihood
of
success
in
turning
a
property
around
than
someone
who's
shown
that
they
can
do
it
I
get.
Why
there's
a
a
reason
to
look
at
it
this
way,
but
I'll
admit
to
being
a
little
bit
ambivalent
about
the
way.
J
This
is
structured
and
I'd
wonder
if
there's
a
way
that
we
could
create
a
pathway
into
this
for
first-time
property
owners
who
meet
some
other
kind
of
alternative
criteria,
or
if
there's
you
know
some
some
way
of
making
this
so
that
it
isn't
a
way
of
sort
of
reinforcing
a
status.
That's
only
available
to
people
who
already
own
a
lot
of
property.
K
And
yet
definitely
will
take
that
concern
in
consideration.
I
would
say
part
of
that
is
due
to
we.
We
do
want
to
have
sort
of
a
track
record
with
with
some
of
these
folks,
because
in
situations
as
I
was
saying
earlier,
where
you
maybe
do
have
you
know
just
hypothetically
gel
companies
or
LLC's
or
maybe
you're
signing
the
property
over
to
add.
M
Member
Fletcher
I
will
say
that
the
management
company
is
ensuring
that
there
is
a
portfolio
for
those
that
have
five
properties
or
larger,
but
then
it
wouldn't
be
required
for
those
that
are
under
five
properties,
so
that
would
be
the
entry
and
then
right
now
we
have
35
properties
that
do
qualify.
That
would
be
having
letters
unto
the
owners.
A
A
Sure,
if
that's
what
you
were
saying
so
I
just
wanted
so
I'm
concerned
about,
like
we're,
trying
I'm
concerned
about
the
fact
that
we're
trying
to
get
average
people
like
mr.
McGrew
know
to
buy
a
property,
a
NOAA
property,
in
particular
with
all
of
the
resources
we
have
available
now
for
a
small
scale,
NOAA
proper
I'm,
just
using
you
as
an
example
because
you're
my
constituent
and
standing
in
front
of
me
and
you
could
easily
buy.
A
I
mean
there
are
reasons
why
sometimes
people
have
a
delinquent
fee
or
maybe
have
something
that
they
don't
comply
with,
like
the
tenants
tabs
that
cause
you
to
have
a
problem
so
had
we
thought
about
like
how
we
would
handle
that
kind
of
thing.
Those
are
just
in
your
mind,
like
disqualifiers,
because
how
are
we
going
to
get
people
to
buy
these
NOAA
properties
that
are
tier,
2
and
tier
3
if
we
make
them
stay
into
two
or
two
or
three,
even
if
they're
a
new
owner
either
ones
good.
E
I
just
wanted
to
say
like
when,
with
the
last
two
bullet
points
and
I
think
folks
are
kind
of
getting
at
this.
You
know
what
would
we
be
significantly
lowering
the
bar
if
we
put
that
instead
of
you
know
two
years
if
we
brought
it
down
to
one
so
just
a
question
and
and
maybe
even
a
consideration
since
you
know
we're
just
kind
of
receiving
this,
not
for
the
first
time,
but
on
the
dice
for
the
first
time
in
discussing
it
so
and.
E
A
Just
think,
that's
fair:
they
immediately
the
staff
got
on
this
issue
and
attempted
to
resolve
it
and
I
thought
it
was
great.
They
attempted
to
resolve
it
and
I
think
you
could
take
our
feedback
and
do
nothing
with
it
or
do
something
with
it,
but
we're
not
you're
not
asking
us
for
approval.
This
is
a
staff
level
decision
just
to
be
clear.
A
Yet
I
think
they
do
want
to
have
a
high
bar
I
understand
that
we
don't
want
I
mean
mr.
Reno
stands
in
front
of
us
when
people
are
getting
their
licenses
revoked
right.
So
he
wants
to
have
a
high
standard,
so
he
doesn't
have
to
come
to
us
where
licenses
are
being
revoked,
as
he
understands
like
everybody
else
does
and
the
whole
department
what
happens
to
tenants
when
lies
revoked
as
well.
So
they're
looking
at
it
a
little
bit,
probably
more
holistically
in
terms
of
their
workload
to
other
questions
or
comments
for
mr.
L
Whatever
you
end
up
landing
on,
it
might
be
interesting
to
come
back
in
a
year
or
something
and
give
us
some
information
about
whether
it
seemed
like
this
worked
for
a
number
of
people
or
didn't
work
for
very
many
I.
Think
even
with
the
high
bar
we
may
end
up.
It
works
just
fine
for
lots
of
people
and
we
see
moving
forward,
but
even
probably
one
year
or
two
years
wouldn't
make
a
big
difference,
but
I
think,
especially
if
it
looked
like
a
lot
of
people.
L
Weren't
able
to
do
it
because
we
set
something
a
little
bit
too
high
and
we
end
up
in
your
opinion
or
other
people's
opinion
thinking.
They
probably
would
have
been
good
landlords,
but
look
what
we
we
didn't.
Let
that
happen
we
could
hear
about
those
numbers.
So
that's
just
an
idea,
because
it's
really
hard
for
us
to
predict
what
difference
it's
gonna
make
without
any
information.
If
we
can
put.
