Actually,

again
as
anyone

those
items,
no
one
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
commissioners
may
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda.
A
A
D
Right
good
evening,
members
of
the
Commission-
and
so
you
did
see
this
at
your
August
13th
meeting
I-
believe
it
was
the
only
changes
to
the
application
is
the
applicant
would
like
to
add
to
surface
parking
stalls
parallel
stalls
on
the
south
side
of
the
building,
as
you
can
see
in
the
drawings
here.
Here's
the
original
plan
until
the
new
modified
plan
would
ship
the
driveway
just
a
little
bit
to
the
south
to
accommodate
those
two
stalls.
D
D
The
stalls
are
located
in
the
Manor
where
pedestrians
that
are
going
to
leave
the
cars
are
going
to
be
exiting
adjacent
to
the
window
wells
and
right
against
the
building,
and
they
would
also
exit
on
the
other
side,
into
the
dry
pile
or
for
traffic
coming
and
going
and
there's
no
sidewalks
to
connect
that.
Thank.
E
A
D
A
G
Members
of
the
Commission,
my
name
is
Marcus.
Coach
dress
is
301
4th
Street
northeast.
This
project
is
I've
already
approved,
and
we
looked
at
the
project
and
worked
with
the
neighborhood
group
to
add
additional
parking
stalls.
We
found
a
creative
way
and
looked
at
all
possibilities
on
the
project
location.
G
G
C
A
G
F
Straighter
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
that.
It
would
be
really
helpful
for
the
Commission
to
have
you
know
a
letter
support
from
the
Sheridan
neighborhood
to
put
that
in
I
have
heard
that
you've
worked
with
the
neighborhood
and
that's
how
this
came
about,
but
it's
good
to
have
that
in
writing.
Just
so
because,
if
they're
not
here
to
talk
about
it,
oh
there
we
go,
and
so
that
that
helps
out
a
lot
I
also
just
want
to
address
the
staff
did
a
really
good
argument
of
why
the
parking
shouldn't
be
put
like
this.
A
H
Michael
Stoddard
with
DJ
architecture,
3
3,
3,
Washington,
Avenue
North.
We
looked
at
several
ways
to
configure
the
parking
on
the
site
and
being
that
needs
to
be
in
the
rear.
That
is
where
all
the
parking
is
located
and
constraints
of
the
site.
The
fact
that
there
is
no
alley
access
and
you
have
to
provide
the
drive
of
the
middle
to
get
to
access
in
the
back.
I
J
My
name
is
Michael
Walsh
I'm,
a
business
owner
in
the
Sheridan
neighborhood
I'm,
also
a
board
member
and
I'm.
Also
a
member
of
the
13th
Avenue
business.
When
Mark
came
in
front
of
snow
a
few
months
ago,
he
had
the
plans
up
and
he
really
worked
with
us
we're
in
support
of
this
project
with
the
two
parking
spots.
J
Obviously,
that
area
is
a
parking
as
a
premium
right
now
and
these
two
spots
would
it's
not
going
to
make
or
break,
but
it
definitely
will
help,
and
it
was
also
some
of
those
really
personally
and
with
everybody
with
snow.
We
thought
it
was
really
good
that
the
developers
wanted
to
work
with
us
with
a
neighborhood.
So.
A
A
K
A
F
Just
want
to
I
think
there's
very
good
reasons
to
approve
the
motion,
but
I'd
be
voting
against
it.
Just
it
with
the
work.
That's
been
gone
in
to
the
neighborhood
that
that's
is
not
making
a
large
increase
in
the
Imperial
Services.
Don't
see
a
huge
impact
to
voting
to
deny
us
or
to
listening
to
the
neighborhood
Commissioner
in
wroclaw
I.
L
You
know,
I
second,
did
this
in
large
part.
Just
this
is
a
an
area,
that's
walkable,
to
commercial
area,
to
groceries.
That
is
off
the
number
11
line,
the
number
30,
the
number
32
buses
and,
as
we
move
towards
need
to
be
a
city
where
people
are
driving
less
one
of
the
ways
we're
gonna
have
to
do.
That
is,
you
know,
put
more
investment
into
our
transit
and
incent
people
were
also
not
having
as
much
Park.
So
I
support
this
motion.
For
those
reasons,
commissioner
Lou.
C
Be
supporting
the
motion
as
well.
I
couldn't
find
enough.
The
practical
difficulties
just
weren't
there
in
my
opinion
and
seven
stalls
for
eight
units,
isn't
unheard
of
in
the
city,
so
I
I
can't
see
where
I
could
justify
this
without
setting
a
precedent
for
some
future
problems
down
the
road,
so
I
I,
just
don't
can't
find
the
practical
difficulties.
E
A
Any
further
discussion,
I
will
add
as
well
looking
at
the
criteria
number
three
related
to
the
variance
being
detrimental
to
health
safety
and
welfare.
I
I
do
have
some
concerns,
I'm
not
entirely
opposed
to
the
idea
of
additional
parking
spaces
on
the
site.
One
of
my
main
concerns
is
really
the
awkward
particular
circulation
the
results
there
isn't
really
a
good
way
of
turning
around
and
I.
Think
I
think
it
just
creates
a
very
odd
layout,
which
can
create
some
potential
negative
impacts.
A
E
B
A
A
C
Just
the
same
as
before,
I
just
don't
find
their
practical
difficulties,
but
furthermore,
I
actually
disagree
with
staff
on
the
3rd
required
finding
I
actually
do
think
it
would
be
detrimental
to
the
health
safety
and
welfare
I
mean
there's
no
place
for
pedestrian
walking,
except
in
this
Drive
aisle,
which
is
more
difficult
to
navigate.
Given
the
I,
don't
know
how
you
pull
two
cars
parallel
then
get
them
out,
but
furthermore,
then
for
pedestrian
there's
a
bevy
of
window
wells.
C
A
A
A
N
Good
afternoon,
commissioners,
this
is
a
an
application
for
conditional
use
permit
for
up
to
180
beds
in
a
supportive
housing
facility,
its
existing
site,
the
site
occupies
an
entire
block
bounded
by
Emerson
and
Fremont
avenues
north
and
then
29th,
Avenue
and
30th
Avenue.
It's
this
block
here
in
the
center
of
the
map.
There
is
a
church
on
this
property
that
used
to
own
the
office
building
and
it
was
affiliated
it
was
the
rest
of
the
block
and
but
they
have
sever
ties
a
few
well.
N
The
church
is
independent
now
from
the
rest
of
the
block
and
the
applicant
Freedom
Works
owns
the
remainder
of
the
block.
They
were
here
before
you
in
May
of
this
year
for
a
70
to
bad
facility
at
the
former
nursing
home
located
here
at
29
12,
here
I'm
going
to
orient
the
site
plan,
so
it's
no.
This
might
not
be
as
easy
to
read.
This
is
the
2912
building
and
then
29
29
Emerson,
Avenue
North
is
this
building
here,
which
is
a
former
assisted
living
facility.
It.
N
Easier
to
because
they're
on
separate
parcels-
but
this
is
one
zoning
lot
and
all
of
the
buildings
are
interconnected
to
one
another,
including
that
office
building
on
the
far
south
corner.
They
were
here
in
May
of
this
year
for
a
conditional
use
permit
for
72
beds
in
the
áformer
nursing
home.
They
are
now
coming
back
and
asking
to
increase
the
number
of
beds
in
that
building
into
a
hundred
and
eight,
and
that
would
be
the
maximum
that
they
would
put
into
that
building
and
then
at
twenty
nine
twenty
twenty-nine
Emerson.
N
They
are
also
seeking
the
conditional
use
permit
to
have
72
beds
and
that
when
they
were
here
in
May,
they
did
not
know
how
they
were
going
to
repurpose,
that
former
assisted
living
facility
and
then,
after
some
time
of
consideration,
they
came
back
to
the
city.
Approached
us
with
the
plan
that
is
before
you
at
this
evening
and
so
for.
A
total
number
of
beds
in
the
in
the
facility
would
be
a
hundred
and
eighty.
We
are
recommending
approval
of
the
conditional
use
permit
to
repurpose
those
two
buildings.
There
are
conditions
related
to
landscaping.
N
N
A
Right
in
that
case,
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
on
this
item
and
we
can
have
the
applicant
speak
first.
If
there
is
someone
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
who
would
like
to
speak,
and
let
us
know
if
there's
anything
you'd
like
to
add
to
staffs
presentation,
and
perhaps
you
could
answer
Commissioner
Allison's
question,
just
a
call.
My.
P
Name
is
Bob:
Johnston
I've
been
the
primary
point
person
for
the
applicant
and
the
initial
purchase
of
of
the
building.
We
have
had
the
constant
communication
with
and
support
and
encouragement
of
of
Jack
Jordan
dairy
community
council
Cathy
span.
In
fact,
Cathy
sent
me
I,
don't
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
giving
them
giving
us
and
encouraging
us
and
are
in
their
support.
P
We've
had
the
the
police
department
from
the
fourth
Precinct
tour,
our
facility
and
let
them
know
they
have
given
us
the
thumbs
up
for
it's
that
saying
that
there's
enough
people
running
around
that
aren't
wanting
to
get
better
and
they
are
very
supportive
of
us.
I,
don't
know
what
questions
you
have
of
me.
We
are.
We
acquired
the
facility
for
the
purpose
of
expanding
our
program
and
to
increase
the
depth
and
scope
of
our
program
to
include
ultimately
in
the
future,
those
in
the
neighborhood.
P
C
P
No,
we
have,
we
originally
worked
to
meet
with
the
Hawthorn
or
excuse
me
with
yeah,
with
the
Hawthorn
neighborhood
Andrew
born
HOF
was
in
my
contact
and
we
were
scheduled
to
meet
with
them
and
he
forgot
all
about
it
and
scheduled
someone
else,
and
so
we
weren't
able
to,
but
they
were
sent
letters
both
for
the
May
and
for
this
time
to
explain
what
we're
doing
and
what
the
purpose
of
the
CFP
was
for.
Okay,.
E
P
The
cause
was
a
front.
Quite
frankly,
we
didn't
know
what
we
were
going
to
do
with
the
facility,
as
our
our
thinking
went
deeper
and
we
drilled
down
into
and
what
we
really
wanted
to
see
ultimately
in
the
future,
for
the
program
was
to
provide
incentives
for
people
to
move
from
the
2912
building
into
independent
living.
We
also
have
plans
to
in
the
future
to
see
how
we
might
reach
out
to
families
and
reconcile
families.
That's
one
of
the
things
in
our
mission.
P
E
C
P
C
P
The
neighborhood,
236
and
pen
is
in
fact
we've
been
a
stabilization
for
that
neighborhood
I
think
we've
been
receiving
exceptionally
well,
we've
reached
out
to
that
neighborhood,
providing
coffee
and
donuts
at
the
bus
stop.
In
the
winter
time
we
do
trash
pickups
we've
had
in
the
past
closed
down
the
block
and
had
a
Saturday
afternoon
where
we
had
a
picnic
and
n
rides
and
things
for
the
kids
to
enjoy
entertainment
received.
C
A
Any
further
questions
of
the
applicant:
if
there
are
none,
we
can
move
on
to
some
other
speakers
and
just
so
I
have
a
sense.
How
many
of
you
would
like
to
speak
on
this
item,
so
several
of
you,
I
I'll,
just
ask
that
you
I
individually,
come
to
the
microphone
state,
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
You
can
decide
who
goes
first
and
keep
your
remarks
to
about
two
minutes.
I
won't
keep
time,
but
just
be
mindful
not
simply
repeating
things
and
others
have
said
so.
Q
Also
by
the
way
I
am
wearing
today,
a
nametag
that
I
received
from
what's
called
the
Minnesota
statewide
initiative
to
reduce
recidivism.
It's
a
big
issue
that
that
we're
all
working
on
in
Minnesota
right
now
to
make
sure
that
the
revolving
door
is
actually
stopped
and
that
we
don't
have
so
much
mass
incarceration
going
on
in
our
community
and
so
as
one
who
has
worked
in
Community
Development
with
ethnic
ministry
and
also
as
a
professor,
with
Bethany
global
University
having
to
teach
social
justice.
Q
R
Only
to
understand
that
the
hearing
was
today
at
4:30,
and
so
some
of
you
have
received
phone
calls
for
me
and
appreciate
you
hearing
for
me,
and
let
me
be
very
clear:
I
am
all
supportive
in
reducing
recidivism
I'm,
also
reporting
supportive
in
making
sure
that
our
ex-offenders
have
places
to
live.
What
I'm,
not
in
support
of
is
the
heavy
concentration
and
the
benevolence
II
that
North
Minneapolis
has
to
continue
to
have
when
this
process
is
in.
These
projects
should
be
dispersed
throughout
the
community.
This
is
my
granddaughter
as
I
introduced
to
you
earlier.
R
She
will
be
two
blocks
from
this
from
from
potentially
200
ex-offenders
now,
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
have
grandchildren
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
have
children
but
I'm,
also
not
sure
that
you
would
want
them
located
within
200
in
a
block
of
200
ex-offenders
now
living
in
centers.
I
also
understand
that
many
of
the
ex-offenders
that
are
coming
out
are
nonviolent
excellent,
EXIF
Enders
and
they
need
a
place
to
live
and
I
support
that
you
asked
earlier
about
their
previous
location,
that's
15
to
17
beds.
R
You
have
already
approved
72
now
they're
coming
back
and
they're,
asking
for
additional
108
all
in
one
location,
so
they
have
managed
17
to
18.
Well
now
they
are
gonna,
be
tested
with
72
and
now
they're
coming
back
to
ask
for
additional
108.
One
of
the
things
that
we
talk
about
consistently
is
how
we
want
our
communities
to
prosper.
R
Communities
have
a
hard
time
prospering
when
they
keep
having
to
bear
the
brunt
of
societal
ills
without
the
resources.
Now
we
can
get
here
in
some
people
now
he
talked
that
being
from
Bethel.
You
know:
I'm
a
Christian
woman
I
go
to
church
every
day.
I
know
what
the
Bible
says
and
I
believe
in
the
work
that
Freedom
Works
is
doing,
but
I
don't
believe
it
has
to
be
housed
in
the
heart
of
North
Minneapolis,
with
the
over
concentration
we're
already
oversaturated.
We're
asked
to
take
on
their
sex
offenders
right
now.
R
We
have
the
highest
ratio
of
sex
offenders
in
the
city
in
our
community.
Now
in
the
state
I'm.
Sorry
in
the
state
and
I'm
not
saying
that
these
ex-offenders
are
sexual
or
us
are
sex
offenders,
but
we're
continues
these
asked.
The
other
thing
is.
We
also
have
questions.
Are
these
residents?
Are
they
coming?
Are
they
returning
home
or
they
return
home?
Are
these
North
Minneapolis
residents
that
are
coming
back
home
when
we
drive
down
our
streets
and
we
see
where
the
sex
offenders
are
located?
R
They're,
not
former
North
Minneapolis
residents,
they're,
not,
and
so
what
we're
asking
you,
if
nothing
else,
to
postpone
this
decision,
if
not
deny
it,
because
we
cannot
bear
the
grunt
of
this.
Our
homeowner,
our
properties
matter
to
our
children
matter
to
unless
the
city
is
gonna,
be
sorry.
Buying
people's
property
value
to
the
property
value
is
not
gonna
increase
people,
just
in
your
in
your
in
your
and
your
marketing.
R
North
Minneapolis
is
a
place
to
come
and
live
and
work
and
play,
and
it
is
a
great
place
many
yet
nor
thing
else
is
a
great
place
to
live,
but
we
cannot
keep
over
saturating
it
with
the
ills
of
our
society
and
understand
this
I'm
not
saying
the
ex-offenders
our
ills,
but
it's
the
burden
that
we
continue
to
have
to
carry
and
we're,
especially
in
the
Jordan
area.
Have
you
seen
the
statistics
in
the
Jordan
area
so
I'm
not
sure
what
Jack
was
thinking
about
when
they
approve
this
I?
Don't
I
mean?
R
Maybe
they
have
a
letter
of
approval?
I
didn't
see
it
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
given
to
you,
but
I
did
read
the
letter
that
they
sent
out
and
nowhere
in
here
does
it
say
that
they're
looking
for
first
the
72
baths
there's
nowhere
in
the
letter
does
it
say
that
they're
looking
to
do
an
additional
108,
it
doesn't
say
just
says
that
they
would
be
from
some
ex-offenders
would
be
a
there.
R
So
they
don't
give
very
many
details
and
the
devil
is
in
the
details
and
the
things
that
we
need
to
look
at
are
in
the
details,
so
I'm
asking
you
so
that
we
can
also
line
up.
You
know.
I
was
talking
to
one
of
your
representatives
today
to
line
up
what
we
see
happening
with
the
240,
the
comprehensive
plan,
so
that
our
community
has
enough
time
to
say
hey.
This
is
how
it
works.
This
is
how
it
doesn't
work
if
you
want
to
be
that
detail-oriented
about
it,
but
I.
R
S
S
If
I
had
better
muscles,
I
could
almost
throw
a
rock
to
the
place
for
my
house
and
I
have
to
tell
you.
My
husband
and
I
have
have
been
involved
in
prison
ministry.
We
go
to
the
jail
and
I
can
tell
you
that
these
men
that
are
coming
out
they're
better
than
many
of
the
people
that
are
loose
on
the
streets
running
around
causing
problems.
S
I
have
lived
in
that
home
for
27
years
and
three
weeks
and
I
can
tell
you,
when
I
heard
that
Freedom
Works
was
going
to
put
a
facility
there
with
men
that
want
a
second
chance.
They
choose
this.
These
are
not
court-ordered
people
coming
in
to
court-ordered
treatment
where
they
have
to
check
the
little
boxes
and
skip
on
their
way
put
in
the
time
and
then
go
at
to
their
own
business
monkey
business
again.
S
These
are
people
that
have
made
a
determination
to
do
better
for
their
lives
and
to
do
better
for
their
community
and
to
make
amends
when
they
can
and
I
would
be
proud
to
have
any
of
those
men
that
will
be
living
in
that
place.
As
my
neighbor
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
it
and
I,
ask
that
you
please
approve
this
request.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
T
Name
is
Melvin
Barone
under
the
30:57
Payne
Avenue
North.
We
work
for
REM,
I'm
assistant
house
manager
for
the
freed
works
program,
I'm
also
FreedomWorks
graduate
got
out
of
prison,
September
16th
of
2016
and
just
in
a
nutshell,
my
mother
sleeps
a
little
bit
better.
Now
you
know
and
I
can
understand
the
young
lady's
concern
with
all
of
us
being
at
one
spot,
but
I'm
quite
sure
you
all
have
crush
the
numbers
on
offenders
getting
out
going
back
in
getting
out
going
back
in
and,
quite
frankly,
the
Northside
it's
a
lot
going
on
over
there.
T
T
If
you
would
have
told
me
three
years
ago,
that'll
be
in
front
of
this
sort
of
thing
right
here.
I
would
have
been
because
I
didn't
care
about
nothing
but
now
I'm
a
part
of
something
that's
pretty
much
bigger
than
myself
I'm
able
to
talk
to
some
of
the
residents
and
some
of
the
people
that
live
I'm
around
a
35:57,
Penn
Avenue
area,
I'm
able
to
talk
to
the
guys
are
out
there.
Selling
drugs
and
I
talked
to
them
and
they
understand
the
program
and
they
say
man,
that's
a
good
program.
T
Whenever
you
get
tired,
you
know
of
the
in
and
out
now
the
neighbors
I
understand
my
mother
lives
in
the
neighborhood
and
she's
concerned
about
you
know
a
lot
of
the
problems
that
the
neighborhood's
are
going
through,
but
I
also
have
respect
for
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
and
the
contributions
and
the
sacrifice
that
they're
making
you
know.
Freedom
Works
is
a
win,
win
fall.
You
know
I'm
here.
Some
of
my
brothers
is
here
and
when
I
say
brothers
I
mean
brothers,
we
go
through
it
ups
and
downs,
but
we
hold
each
other
accountable.
T
T
C
Yeah
I
do
have
a
question
because
you're
in
a
unique
position
to
answer
this
one.
So
as
someone
who's
gone
through
their
program,
would
you
say
that
having
the
program
located
in
an
area
such
as
north
that
we
have
heard
testimony
in
and
I
live
there?
It
has
issues
or
struggles,
many
of
which
I
would
say,
isn't
from
north.
C
But
would
you
say
that
that's
a
proper
environment
to
have
this
kind
of
supportive
housing
in
or
would
you
say
that
a
community
that
maybe
doesn't
face
as
many
of
these
social
issues
might
be
better
because
I
guess
I'm
struggling
with
the
concentration
issue
as
well
and
and
wondering
if
this
is
something
that
is
the
best
environment,
I
think
if
somebody
was,
for
example,
a
recovering
alcoholic
being
housed
over
a
bar
might
not
be
the
best
place
for
them.
So
I'm
wondering
a
your
opinion
on
this.
If.
T
T
That
could
be
addressed
versus
a
place.
That's
willing
to
stop
the
revolving
cycle.
You
know
of
people
going
in.
You
know
that
could
better
be.
You
know
why
stop
a
place
that
wants
to
stop
the
revolving
cycle
and
not
pay
attention
to
the
drug
houses?
That's
down
that
way
or
the
corner
store.
That's
allowing
the
marijuana
to
be
sold
or
the
store
down
there.
That's
allowing
the
marijuana
to
be
sold.
You
know,
freedom
works
is
designed
through
the
Word
of
God
and
everything
to
to
try
to
try
to
input
another
kind
of
way
of
thinking.
C
T
C
T
T
I'm
on
this
side
of
the
room
he's
pretty
much
crime
being
done
everywhere,
just
how
you
gonna
do
it,
so
we
would
do
it
inside
some
people
do
it
outside,
but
there's
no
on
the
North
Side
south
side,
it's
stuff
happening
everywhere,
you
know
and
and
wherever
you
can
put
the
help
at
you
know
it's
needed
as
long
as
this
ran
by
qualified
individuals
that
care
you
know
as
long
as
does
that
the
program
has
a
nice
solid
program.
You
know
and
I
mean
we've,
we've
been
a
plus
towards
the
community.
T
V
Hi,
my
name
is
George
lang,
I'm
property
owner
of
one
zero
one
226
Avenue,
North
and
I've
lived
there
for
four
and
a
half
years
before
I
moved
out
and
I
recently
moved
to
Blaine
or
not
recently,
the
last
couple
years
that
little
wood
paint
Blaine
with
my
new
bright
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Freedom,
Works
and
I.
Really
thank
you
for
affording
us
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
come
down
here
and
be
able
to
talk
about
our
program
as
I.
V
Listen
to
some
of
the
things
that
are
being
said,
and
some
of
even
the
publications
that
I've
read.
There
has
been
some
misconception
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
on
that
property.
We
don't
plan
on
having
180
fenders
on
site.
We
do
have
a
vision
to
be
able
to
work
with
men
that
are
coming
out
of
prison.
I
myself
came
out
of
prison,
I've
been
in
prison
three
times,
I've
been
out
now
for
over
12
years,
I
came
to
Freedom
Works
and
I'm.
The
executive
director
today
and
I
have
been
for
the
last
six
years.
V
Division
that
I
have
had
is
one
that
I've
gained
inside
prison.
In
a
prison
fellowship
community
in
that
looking
to
build
a
community
around
a
guy
that
has
absolutely
no
idea
of
what
community
is
not
an
easy
task
to
do,
but
Freedom
Works.
We
have
a
strategic
way
that
we
do
that.
So
I,
don't
look
at
us
in
ascending
a
sense
of
being
a
post
prison
outreach.
I,
look
at
us
in
a
sense
of
being
community
builders,
the
program
that
we
have
on
36
and
Penn.
V
We
have
15
spaces
for
guys,
but
we're
challenged
on
the
services
that
we
can
bring
to
the
guys
on
a
limited
location,
6000
square
feet,
so
I
set
out
to
find
a
new
property
five
years
ago,
and
we've
visited
a
variety
of
different
locations.
We've
even
had
one
in
st.
Paul
that
we
were
looking
at
two
of
them
in
st.
V
Paul
and
relocating,
but
everything
seemed
to
draw
us
right
back
to
this
property
and
I've
been
working
on
this
property
since
October
of
2016,
but
when
I
got
their
property
as
it
was,
is
way
too
big.
It's
just
way
too
big
that
and
and
I
was
drawn
back
over
the
course
of
the
next
six
months.
I've
worked
with
a
variety
of
different
community
partners
on
this
project.
V
We
haven't
taken
any
government
funding
and
securing
this
property,
but
people
have
attached
themselves
to
the
vision
and
what
that
vision
simply
is
is
being
out
of
providing
affordable
housing,
not
only
for
the
guys
that
we
work
with
which
we
are
looking
to
increase
to
108
per
the
Cu
P,
but
we
were
never
gonna
hit
72
in
that
building,
with
the
guys
that
we
work
with
our
program
is
going
to
be
the
smallest
program
on
site.
The
other
programs
that
we're
working
with
right
now
is
Twin.
Cities
rides:
accessibility,
ppl.
V
We
are
looking
to
complement
what
they're
doing
in
a
sense
of
providing
housing
for
those
that
they're
working
with
and
trying
to
build
up
in
a
career
development
courses,
but
they
don't
have
lodging
we're
working
with
the
Veterans
of
America
or
the
VA.
I
should
say
that
for
affordable
housing
for
their
clients
as
well,
that
are
homeless
right
now,
so
where
we
have
spaces
for
135,
you
know
there's
rooms
in
in
the
Center
building
that
you
seen
earlier.
V
Most
guys
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
go
out
and
buy
their
home
right
away
and
they're
looking
for
the
next
step.
What
is
that
next
step
for
a
guy?
That's
coming
out
of
Minnesota
Teen
Challenge
or
for
a
guy?
That's
in
PBL,
that's
looking
to
get
into
their
career
development,
but
they
don't
have
housing
to
be
able
to
support
that.
That's
what
we
want
to
do.
I
still
see
that
Freedom
Works
his
model
is
going
to
be
the
smallest
model
on
site.
It
really
is,
and
the
apartment
building
the
48
unit
apartment
building.
V
We
look
at
that
is
the
recovery
community
in
each
one
of
our
programs
on
each
floor,
we're
developing
community
within
that
group
or
that
particular
service,
the
collaborative
partnerships
that
we
have,
that
we
have
been
developing
and
all
of
the
partnerships
that
we're
developing
are
from
within
the
cities
somewhere
over
in
South
Minneapolis.
As
you
know,
pe
ppl,
but
you
have
Twin
Cities
rise,
which
is
right
there
in
North
Minneapolis.
V
A
lot
of
the
collaborative
that
we
are
bringing
to
our
third
building,
which
is
an
administration
building
which
has
roughly
16,000
square
feet,
is
there's
30
offices.
We've
already
are
in
conversation
to
get
into
concert
if
you
will
to
leasing
out
spaces
to
bring
collaborative
to
North
Minneapolis
in
that
particular
area.
Now,
I
want
to
speak
on
the
value
of
what
we
bring
to
the
neighborhood,
because
you
had
a
question:
have
we
had
any
police
calls?
V
You
know
that
Freedom
Works
in
the
time
that
I've
been
associated,
which
is
basically
from
the
conception
when
I
got
out
of
line
of
lace.
We've
only
had
a
couple.
Different
police
calls
at
that
property
and
it
wasn't
for
our
residents.
It
was
because
one
of
our
residents
was
killed
on
August
29th.
When
there
was
you
know,
there's
a
heroin
trade
raid
on
36th
and
pen
and
one
of
our
guys
sat
in
his
car
going
to
work
and
took
a
bullet
in
the
back
of
his
head
had
nothing
to
do
with
what
that
police
call.
V
I
mean
as
far
as
Freedom
Works
we've
had
other
police
calls
that
we've
called
the
police
because
of
the
activity.
That's
there,
I
want
to
speak
from
a
personal
side
from
a
guy
that
I
would
be
considered
an
ex-con.
So
for
me
changing
that
worldview
of
you
know,
you
don't
tell
I,
don't
tell
that's
there
this,
you
know
I'm,
not
gonna
get
involved,
that's
not
who
we
are
at
Freedom
Works.
We've
made
a
positive
impact
on
36
and
Penn,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
we,
we
don't
have
just
good
relationships
over
there.
V
We've
got
friends,
we've
got
people
that
come
to
our
programming.
We
got
people
that
come
to
all
of
our
events
and
it's
not
sporadic
events
or
it's
just
not.
You
know
once
in
a
while
we
do
something:
we've
got
community
engagement,
we're
gonna,
make
an
impact
in
that
community
over
in
North
Minneapolis.
You
can
guarantee
it
and
the
impact
that
we've
already
had
when
we
purchased
the
property
and
took
ownership
on
July
10th.
We
had
to
run
out
20
people
that
were
inside
them
property.
V
You
could
get
into
properties
through
any
door
because
of
my
background,
I
know
a
drug
paraphernalia,
pretty
good.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I've
been
sober
for
15
years.
It
was
riddled
through
them.
Buildings,
we've
driven
all
that
out.
We've
already
brought
we've
already
put
$120,000
into
our
building
and
into
that
property
with
the
vision
that
we
have
in
engaging
with
community.
We
are
already
lining
up
with
other
collaborators
to
bring
weekly
food
drives.
V
Bringing
these
we've
already
developed
an
in-house
thrift
store
we're
not
open
for
business,
so
to
speak,
to
be
at
a
bring
forth
services
to
the
community,
but
I
guarantee
you
that
property
has
been
left
in
shambles
for
the
last
four
years,
when
I
first
got
there
in
October
of
2016
I,
couldn't
believe
the
way
that
the
people
were
living
in
the
North
Oaks
residency,
the
assisted
living
building
I
my
recovery
or
my
addiction
has
taken
me
in
some
pretty
filthy
places.
I've
never
seen
nothing
like
that.
V
I
couldn't
believe
that,
with
what
the
amount
of
people
that
were
running
in
and
out
of
that
building
the
drug
trade
that
was
happening,
I
can
recognize
it
because
I've
been
part
of
it.
All
of
us
that
are
at
Freedom
Works.
We
can
see
it.
What
what
makes
us
what's
gonna
make
us
successful.
Isn't
freedom
works
being
a
standalone
or
organization?
We're
not
gonna
have
one
on
180
funders
on-site,
it's
not
gonna
happen
and
we
are
gonna
part.
V
What's
gonna
make
us
successful,
is
we're
gonna,
engage
in
community
I,
believe
we're
a
piece
we're
not
the
answer
or
a
piece
to
what
is
needed
for
over
in
North,
Minneapolis
and
I
feel
my
sisters.
You
know
when
I
had
my
four
kids
living
with
me
down
in
North
Minneapolis
for
over
four
and
a
half
years,
just
in
the
house,
which
is
only
three
three
blocks
away.
There's
challenges
I
had
a
guy
that
was
killed
right
out
of
my
front
yard.
V
It
was
there's,
there's
so
many
things
that
are
happening
in
that
neighborhood
that
are
almost
like
a
normal,
but
it's
not
normal
for
us
for
the
guys
that
sit
here
for
the
guys
that
have
gone
through
our
program.
We
have
a
seven
percent
recidivism
rate
for
the
six
hundred
men
that
we
have
served.
Seven
percent
of
them
guys
have
reoffended
in
three
years
and
none
of
them
reoffended
from
Freedom
Works.
It
was
after
they
left
Freedom
Works
I'd.
E
You
thank
you
for
sharing
your
perspective,
as
did
you
say,
executive
director,
yes,
yeah,
and
some
of
that
was
new
information
to
me.
I'm,
not
sure
it
was
in
the
packet,
but
maybe
it
was
about
the
scale
of
your
program
and
partnering
with
other
programs
and
one
of
the
requirements
for
development
standards
for
supportive
housing
is
that
the
operator
which
is
Freedom
Works,
submit
a
management
plan
and
has
that
management
plan
been
submitted?
And
what
does
it
say?
Does
it
talk
about
these
partnerships
and
about
it.
E
Number,
so
maybe
that's
a
piece
of
information
that
would
be
really
useful
for
us
to
consider.
Could
you
just
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
that
management
plan
and
before
you
do
I
have
to
apologize.
I
have
to
leave
at
5:30.
It
looks
like
I
may
not
be
here
for
the
vote
on
this,
but
I
do
appreciate
everything.
V
Within
that
management
plan,
to
the
best
of
my
understanding
that
it
talks
about
the
collaborative
partnerships
that
we're
gonna
have
so
we
are
gonna
manage
the
property.
We
are
gonna
manage
that
vision,
but
we
are
going
to
partner
with
the
outside
resources
that
will
be
leasing,
space
in
a
collaborative
building
and
bringing
the
services
to
those
participants
or
for
those
that
are
in
the
housing
in
the
center
building.
That's
what
a
specific
is.
Is
it
talks
about.
C
A
question
along
a
similar
vein,
because
I
was
listening
to
your
testimony
and
the
previous
speakers
testimony,
and
it
found
it
very
interesting
and
compelling,
but
I
a
little
bit
nervous
now
that
there's
so
many
partner
organizations
I
too,
wanted
to
know
a
lot
more
about
the
management,
because
that's
a
lot
of
180
beds
available
or
a
dwelling
units
or,
however,
we
want
to
analyze.
Building,
does
a
lot
of
people,
and
some
of
them
are
in
your
program
and
some
are
through.
V
Free
divorces
is
gonna,
manage
the
property,
we
have
on-site
staff
24
hours
a
day.
So
if
there
is
a
problem
as
we
do
now,
we
as
we
address
that
part
we
address
that
problem.
Currently
today,
in
our
current
model,
we
we
have
the
same
model,
but
it's
just
on
a
smaller
scale.
We
use
collaborative
to
be
able
to
bring
the
resources
to
our
guys
right
now,
but
we
can't
bring
the
services
that
we
want
to
continue
or
that
we
envision
I'm.
C
V
Freedom
Works
will
will
run
and
manage
the
housing
aspect
of
it,
and
the
collaborators
will
bring
it
bring
the
services
in
the
classes
to
of
those
on-site.
Thank
you
in
part,
and
part
of
that
as
well,
is
just
supportive
housing.
So
for
the
48
unit,
building
that
that's
housing,
that's
just
affordable
housing
them
are
people
that
have
already
done
their
programs
and
they're
just
and
then
that's
the
next
step
for
them
to
be
able
to
have
their
own
independent
living
and
affordable.
I
might
add.
Yeah.
C
And
I'm
aware
that
I
just
know
that
there's
a
bunch
of
affordable
housing
or
nonprofits
doing
affordable
housing
scattered
throughout
north
and
some
do
it
well
and
some
do
not
do
it
well
and
I
have
no
way
right
now
of
gauging
who's
responsible
for
the
affordable
housing
that
you're
going
to
be
providing
yeah.
So
it
kind
of
makes
me
a
little
nervous.
I
think
it
would
have
been
nice
to
see
that
management
plan
in
the
packet
or
something
that
explains
that
responsibility,
because
I
that
that's
a
huge
I
reckon
my
mind.
So.
V
We've
been
bringing
on
staff
so
we've
been
bringing
on.
We
have
a
Director
of
Operations,
who
is
here
as
well.
She
she's
new
to
the
ministry
we've
been
bringing
on.
We
have
a
strategic
plan,
an
internal
strategic
plan,
of
how
we're
going
to
manage
this
property
are.
The
FreedomWorks
board
is
set
up
of
men
and
women
that
have
not
only
a
heart
for
ministry,
but
have
a
professional
background
in
know
how
to
manage
property.
Bob
Johnson,
who
submitted
the
the
Cu
P,
has
been
in
property
management
for
40
years.
V
I
myself
have
been
personal
investment
properties
throughout
the
city
that
when
we
look
at
the
the
scope
of
this
part
of
this
particular
property,
it
it's
going
to
have
its
challenges
because
of
the
population
of
people
that
we
are
reaching
out
to
to
serve,
and
that's
not
just
limited
to
for
those
who
are
coming
out
of
prison,
but
for
those
who
don't
have
the
life
skills
to
be
able
to
have
or
maintain
their
independent
living.
But
with
that
said,
we
have
a
skill
set
from
community
members
and
board
members.
A
O
You
because
I
don't
think
you
know,
we
didn't
know
the
information
that
you
say
it's
a
new
management
plan
and
I,
don't
think
the
neighbors
do
either
because
when
they
heard
that
Freedom
Works
was
one
at
this
site
to
have
72
beds
and
then
another
108
beds,
they
thought
that
this
was
just
Freedom
Works,
that
these
were
gonna,
be
ex-offenders
and
so
I
want
to
know.
If
we
could
slow
down
so
we
can
get
there's
there's
a
lack
of
information
out
there.
O
O
W
V
Of
our
strategic
plan
is
that
we
were
growing
our
particular
programs
that
one
at
a
time-
and
we
see
a
three
year
period.
So
when
we
looked
at
man
and
managing
the
program
in
itself,
we
are
gonna
establish
the
FreedomWorks
program
is
the
first
priority
to
be
able
to
establish,
and
then
our
we're
gonna
turn
our
attention
to
the
the
housing
of
the
48
unit
building
and
that's
simply
being
landlord
over
that
particular
property
and
I.
Definitely
we
definitely
have
the
skill
set
for
that
and
then,
with
the
other
two
floors
in
the
center
building.
V
It's
just
two
other.
It's
just
two
other
programs
and
them
to
to
other
programs
for
the
next
two
years
following
to
us,
is
very
manageable.
We're
not
planning
on
word
I,
truly,
don't
ever
see
us
having
180
I,
see
us
having
about
135,
because
that's
the
rooms
that
we
count
with
with
the
2472
in
one
and
48
and
the
other
I
think
it's
135.
My
bath
might
be
off
a
little
bit,
but
that's
over
a
three
year
period
time
and
the
collaborative
that
we
talked
about
the
collaborative
aren't
subleasing
from
us.
V
We
are,
we
managed
the
property
in
that
we're
having
outside
services.
I'll
say
like
twin
cities.
Rise
twin
cities,
rises
right
down
on
Bryant
and
Broadway,
so
for
them
we
will
have
a
partnership
with
them
in
a
collaboration
as
we
do
in
you
heard
our
three
speak
earlier
that
they
are.
Our
three
focus
is
on
collaborative.
V
M
Just
so
everyone
is,
there
is
I,
think
kind
of
a
bare-bones
management
plans.
I,
don't
know
how
to
detail.
These
ordinarily
would
be,
but
as
therefore
paragraphs
and
refers
to
some
of
the
jobs
that
are
gonna
have
to
get
taken,
care
of
at
the
facility
and
I
was
also
gonna.
Ask
how
do
people
get
placed
into
this
program?
I
mean:
do
you
work
with
the
Department
of
Corrections,
so.
V
V
Looking
for
the
next
step
for
people,
that's
that's
what
we
envision
having
in
that
48
unit,
but
not,
but
at
the
same
time
we're
working
with
to
combat
the
homelessness.
That's
that's
happening
right
now,
so
we've
been
working
with
with
Hennepin
County
I'm,
providing
affordable
housing
for
the
for
the
homeless
population,
not
looking
to
become
a
homeless,
shelter
and
I
want
to
confuse
that,
but
for
people
that
have
ended
up
in
a
very
bad
position
that
that
can't
find
affordable,
housing
and
again
I
own
investment
properties.
V
M
V
Soul,
right
now,
so
are
we
we
haven't
started
marketing.
We
can't
market
something
that
we
don't
have
approval
for,
and
so
simply
so
what
we've
been
doing
is
focusing
our
concentration
on
rehabbing,
the
property
and
it's
not
major
construction
of
its.
What
the
city
allows.
There's
been
a
lot
of
Terror
a
carpet.
A
lot
of
you
know
painting
a
lot
of
gardening
on
the
outside,
getting
the
roof.
You
know,
stop
leaking
them
tied
them
types
of
things,
but
our
attention
is
going
to
be
with
our
collaborative.
They
know
that
we've
purchased
a
property.
M
V
V
You
know
my
heart
goes
out
to
sex
offenders
and
I
know.
There's
there's
a
need
for
that.
There's
a
high
population
of
the
Department
of
Correction
that
have
sex
offenses,
but
we
don't
take
sex
offenders.
Our
freedom
works,
we're
restricted
by
our
insurance
and
arsonist.
We
look
for
Doug.
The
guys
that
we
mainly
serve
I'd,
say
80
percent
right
now
are
would
be
considered
property
offenders.
M
V
M
V
First
time
that
I've
ever
you
know,
just
with
my
background,
you
know
like
I,
come
from
a
pretty
busted
up
home,
we
weren't,
given
anything
so
by
the
time
I
was
10,
was
on
the
street.
I've,
never
really
had
anybody
caring
for
me
so
to
speak
or
helping
me
out
and
the
first
time
that
I've
ever
seen
entitlements.
V
What
I
call
entitlements
is
it's
that
freedom
works
when
I
first
got
there
and
that
the
the
body
of
Frieda
Works
would
meet
each
person
that
was
coming
out
and
they
would-
and
this
was
a
you
know
13
years
ago-
then
they
would
just
gift
a
person
they
would.
They
would
give
provide
the
first
month's
rent
for
free.
That's
a
good
thing.
They
would
provide
clothing
for
for
those
who
were
coming
out
as
far
as
gift
cards.
They
would
provide
food
support
as
far
as
gift
cards
for
Cobb.
V
They
would
a
ton
of
necessities,
but
they
haven't
asked
one
person
yet
what
they
need
and
I
thought.
That
was
strange
because
for
me,
coming
out
growing
up
the
way
that
I
did
I
had
to
fend
for
myself.
I
watched
a
lot
of
guys
get
their
card
or
their
food
card
in
they'd,
sell
it
for
half
price
and
so
I
kind
of
throw
that
in
the
sense
of
entitlement.
V
I
also
believe
that
the
housing
of
providing
a
pathway
for
guys
to
get
the
first
month
free
and
what
the
church
would
call
grace,
I've,
always
known
grace
to
be
something
that
is
a
free
gift
of
Christ,
but
can't
be
taken
back,
but
after
30
days
they
would,
after
giving
them
all
these
things
to
a
population
of
men.
To
be
honest
with
you,
because
I've
been
in
prison
three
times
and
I've
worked
with
the
offenders
now
four
active
ex-offenders
for
over
12
years.
It
can
almost
do
more
of
the
damage
than
any
good.
V
So
I
have
a
belief,
a
fundamental
belief
that
you
have
to
have
skin
in
the
game
and
when
I
said
earlier,
about
building
community,
so
the
guys
that
are
coming
to
Freedom
Works
the
thing
we're
not
trying
to
put
every
we're
not
trying
to
do
their
work,
that
in
any
program
that
has
any
value
that
it's
not
the
management,
doing
the
work.
It's
to
participants
and
I
see
our
men
respond
better
when
they
have
skin
in
the
game.
So,
instead
of
coming
to
Freedom,
Works
and
saying
hey,
we're
gonna
take
care
of
your
rent.
V
V
Did
we
had
a
surround
guys
and
set
him
up
for
success,
but
they
were
limited
in
their
experience
when
the
vision
of
freedom
works
in
the
birth
of
the
ministry,
so
I've
gotten
rid
of
a
lot
of
things
over
my
time,
I've
not
I,
just
wasn't
hired
as
the
executive
manager
right
I
was
actually
the
caretaker
I
was
a
event
coordinator.
I
was
a
program
manager
or
case
manager
than
the
program
manager
and
then
the
director,
so
all
through
my
ten
years,
so
to
speak,
I've
taken
away
them
types
of
entitlements.
V
Now,
when
it
comes
to
government
support
and
entitlements,
then
programs
are
set
in
place
for
people
that
have
need
and
and
I
have
seen
firsthand,
that
people
be
then
didn't
have
the
cognitive
skills,
or
it
is
just
life
Hart,
the
hardships
of
life,
that's
Dec
that
came
on
them
that
them
programs
are
set
up
it.
You
know
that
we
support
as
taxpayers
to
be
able
to
bring
them
things.
Them
aren't
the
types
of
entitlements
I'm
talking
about
so.
A
X
Name
is
Glen
Ford
at
26
32
4th
Street
North
I've
been
here
in
Minnesota
ever
since
69
I
have
seen
Northside
grow
just
even
this
past
week,
I
have
met,
but
people
from
Hugo
Minnesota
moving
back
north
Minneapolis
and
a
reason
why
he
moves
back
because
there's
more
opportunity.
If
it's
fairly
limited,
who
go
Minnesota,
then
living
ready
in
Minneapolis.
Are
they
concerned
about
the
crime
and
stuff
like
that
myself?
I
am
very
much
a
concern
about
it.
X
I
go
to
church
right
on
the
corner
day
of
30th
in
and
Emerson
and
I
hear
that
they
have
mentioned
that
the
neighborhood
have
got
the
information
that
this
FreedomWorks
also
go
to
her
heart.
On
we
meet
every
month
at
heart,
dawn
I,
haven't
heard
anything
about
the
freedom
works
hard
to
put
out
information.
What's
going
to
be
a
cabinet
in
the
community,
I'm
also
are
both
still,
you
know
better
about
the
church
and
I
do
believe
in
Matthew
25
when
I'm
horny,
someone
fed
me,
but
when
I
was
in
prison.
X
Somebody
visited
me
I
know.
I
have
no
problem
with
that,
but
also
I
have
raised
three
wonderful
kids
right
at
North
Minneapolis
and
when
they
speak
of
Northam
in
half,
there's
free
thing
they
think
about
is
the
crime.
I
do
believe
that
something
could
could
happen.
Maybe
they
can
put
it
guess
they
got
one
facility
already
on,
pin
I
see
it
as
a
financial
gain
and
I
just
feel
that
is
taking
advantage
of
the
minority.
X
People
that
live
north
Minneapolis
and
some
none
minority,
but
I
see
things
about
living
there
and
I've
seen
the
growth
and
I
didn't
believe
they
put
the
filler
sylheti
to
like
that
they're.
The
people
that
now
coming
from
Hugo
are
coming
from
Long
Lake
Minnesota.
They
want
to
get
to
North
Minneapolis
North
Minneapolis
is
a
nice
place
to
live,
I
lived
there
and
I've
been
living
there
for
a
long
time.
Honore
like
I,
said
and
raised
three
wonderful,
kids
and
I
I.
X
X
Well,
the
facility
have
to
be
at
North,
Minneapolis
I
have
had
lost
a
brother
back
about
six
or
seven
years
ago.
He
was
the
president
do,
but
what
happened
he
gets
back
get
out.
He
goes
to
the
facilities
they
get
help,
but
if
you
put
a
person
they're
just
using,
for
example,
if
I'm
married
to
a
lady
and
she's
still
on
drugs,
I
don't
been
in
the
treatment
for
five
years
come
home.
What
don't
happen
you
put
me?
Where
is
the
drugs
and
and
I
just
got
off
it
happen?
X
Gonna
go
back
inside
of
use
it.
You
might
walk
to
Laurie
and
there's
someone
out
there
selling
the
same
drug
that
you've
been
on,
might
meet
old
friend,
you
know,
and
he
fights
you
over
to
the
house.
What's
gonna
happen
that
person
I'll
go
back
to
the
same
thing.
You've
been
doing
all
the
time
and
I
just
I
just
said
good
night
I
just
heard
about
this
today
and
it's
not
right
to
try
to
prove
something
in
the
neighborhood.
Don't
know
about
it.
That's
all
I,
say
and
I
wish.
God
bless.
You
guys,
I
really.
X
I
really
don't
care
and
everybody
know
who
I
my
name
is
Glenn
Ford
and
if
anyone
acts
I
have
to
be
a
foster
care
in
North,
Minneapolis
I
got
some
good
good
stories
and
I'm
saying
that
kids
been
violated
and
stuff
and
I
turned
them
around
myself
and
I
have
no
act
for
our
organization
that
helped
me
to
do
it.
I
also
put
on
block
parties
or
North
Minneapolis
I.
Did
it
about
not
going
on
17
years
I.
X
Do
it
every
year
for
kids
in
the
neighborhood,
but
the
whole
thing
is
that
no
organization
seen
that
one
innovation
doing
something
in
the
community
in
the
help?
I
don't
do
it
for
money
I,
do
it
for
the
love
of
God.
So
the
whole
thing
instead
of
saying
that
you'll
find
kids,
oh
yeah,
you
get
the
block
party,
you
get
all
that
you
get
the
popcorn!
You
get
a
hot
dog.
Well,
there's
kids
hungry
out
there!
X
So,
what's,
naturally,
they
don't
come,
but
how
many
adults
don't
come
just
support?
What
you're
doing
that's
the
whole
thing
I'm
concerned
about
our
supported,
fuse
out,
there's
Minooka
somewhere
else,
but
don't
continue
bringing
stuff
into
North
Minneapolis
away.
They
need
help.
We
want
something
to
build
North
Minneapolis
and
that's
what
I
want.
Thank
you
thank.
A
U
You
doing
my
name
is
Lisa
Neil
Delgado,
I'm,
Newark,
Minneapolis
resident
I,
love,
12:10,
James,
Avenue,
North
I'm
here,
because
my
younger
cousin,
who
recently
bought
a
house
maybe
about
three
years
ago
right
around
the
corner
from
there
can't
be
here
today
with
her
for
well.
Excuse
me,
three
kids
and
two
young
grandkids
that
she's
also
helping
race
I
believe
in
I
believe
that
offenders
need
a
place
to
live,
to
include
sex
offenders
to
include
arsonist
to
include
everybody.
U
I
think
that
they
should
be
able
to
come
back
into
their
communities
where
they've
offended
and
that
they
should
get
the
help
that
Freedom
Works
is
providing
I
believe
that
everybody
deserves
a
second
is
sometimes
third,
maybe
fourth
or
fifth
chance.
However,
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
North
Minneapolis,
with
the
exception
of
most
of
my
military
time
and
North
Minneapolis,
is
the
dumping
ground.
U
I
was
born
and
raised
in
the
house
that
I
currently
live
in
and
I,
don't
mean
to
say
that
it's
a
dumping
ground
but
North
Minneapolis
has,
within
a
stone's
throw
for
me.
I
already
have
a
two
houses
that
house
nothing,
but
sex
offenders.
On
my
end,
I
have
shootings
in
my
neighborhood
daily
I
have
homicides
almost
monthly,
and
my
neighborhood
isn't
very
much
different
from
the
neighborhood
that
they're
living
in.
U
As
a
matter
of
fact,
there
were
just
three
homicides
there
just
recently,
so
we're
talking
about
the
neighborhood
that
is
already
dealing
they're,
trying
to
get
people
to
move
into
the
neighborhood
they're
trying
to
get
their
houses,
but
this
developers
by
and
lots
and
land
there
that
are
developing
houses
in
that
area.
In
that
community,
however,
who's
gonna
buy
a
house
with
their
facility
right
around
the
corner.
I've
heard
a
lot
of
great
things
about
Freedom
Works,
but
it's
the
difference
between
managing
15
beds
to
potentially
180
beds.
U
If
they've
already
been
approved
for
72
beds,
what
is
the
problem
with
letting
them
feel
those
suddenly
two
beds
since
has
been
approved
already?
What's
the
problem
with
letting
them
fill
and
they
can
reach
out
to
the
community
and
work
on
a
plan
with
the
community
to
increase
after
they've
shown
success
like
I
said
it's
easy
to
be
successful.
They
talk
about
how
what
a
great
job
they
did
on
36
and
pen
I
can
tell
you
right
now.
U
36
and
pen
is
still
a
hellhole,
so
I
don't
know
what
it
was
before
they
were
there
and
I've
been
back
in
town
I.
Think
maybe
for
the
last
eight
nine
years.
I
can't
tell
you
what
it
was
before
them,
but
I
can
tell
you
how
bad
it
is
now
to
the
point
of
starch.
Of
u.
N--
has
articles
all
the
time,
because
the
school
is
right
down
the
street
from
36
and
pin.
They
have
bullet
holes
flying
all
over,
so
I'm,
not
blaming
Freedom
Works
for
that
and
I'm,
not
blaming
them
at
all.
U
But
I'm
saying
is
it's
a
bad
neighborhood?
That's
trying
to
recover,
they
have
developers
in
there
rehabbing
houses
they
have
houses
going
up.
Those
houses
are
gonna,
sit
empty.
My
little
cousin
now
I
was
looking
at
trying
to
move
out
of
her
house
because
she
doesn't
want
it.
She
doesn't.
She
doesn't
want
to
live
in
that
area.
She
doesn't
want
her
kids
subjected
to
that
because
she
just
heard
Friday
like
everybody
else
and
I,
don't
know
what
Jordans
Jordan
neighborhood
associations
notification
was,
but
she
just
heard
from
me
Friday
when
I
contacted
her.
U
What
I
would
ask
that
you
guys
do
is
to
postpone
this
decision
and
let
and
have
Freedom
Works,
executive
manager,
executive
director
and
the
community
really
engaged
in
outreach,
because
a
post
on
Facebook
is
not
outreach.
Jordan
neighborhood
told
me
what
we
put
it
in
next
door.
Not
everybody
is
not.
U
Everybody
is
in
the
media
I'm
using
the
Internet,
not
everybody
was
notified
notified
and
when
I
put
the
post
up
in
the
Northside,
when
I
put
the
post
up
in
the
Northside
group,
a
lot
of
people
had
said
they
hadn't
heard
about
it
and
they're
on
they're,
actually
on
Facebook
I.
Think
as
of
that
this
afternoon
there
was
like
a
hundred
and
forty
comments.
Some
of
those
comments
were
in
support
of
free
to
works
because
they
they've
dealt
with
the
program
and
they
know
people
in
the
program.
U
Some
of
the
comments
a
lot
of
the
comments,
property
owners,
their
concern,
some
of
them
flat-out
heck.
No,
some
of
them
want
to
know
more
about
it.
Everybody
believes
that
you
should
get
a
second
chance,
but
they
wanted
know
more
about
the
program
when
you
start
talking
about
bringing
in
outside
organizations,
I
don't
mean
to
blast
anybody,
but
I
have
several
ppl
properties
right
in
my
neighborhood
a
couple
of
blocks
away
and
we
have
nothing
but
problems.
U
So
when
you
start
talking
about
bringing
in
other
organizations
to
that,
the
community
just
needs
to
know
I'm,
not
saying
I'm
a
Ford
I'm,
not
saying
I'm
against
it
and
theory.
It
sounds
great,
but
the
concentration
in
North
Minneapolis
is
insane
and
I
keep
looking
at
the
demographics
of
this
board
and
I.
Don't
know
how
many
of
you
live
in
North
Minneapolis,
but
if
it
was
your
neighborhood
who
had
halfway
house
at
their
halfway
house,
sex
offender,
housing,
treatment,
housing
and
everything
else
clustered
into
one
area.
Y
Hello
Oh,
my
name
is
Jason
shuffle
I
live
at
I,
look
at
the
Freedom
Works
building
on
Pine
Street.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
Lord
for
allowing
me
to
be
here:
I'm
ex-offender,
currently
on
parole,
so
you're
talking
about
the
people,
I
saw
drugs
and
then
that
I'm,
that
guy
I've
been
I've
been
in
and
out
of
prison
for
16
years.
I'm,
not
proud
of
it,
but
I've
been
that
I've
been
that
guy
that
girls,
that
they're
talking
about
in
the
community
running
wrong
terrorizing.
Y
The
community
I'm
here
to
tell
you
I'm
here
to
share
right
now
was
that
by
grace
of
God,
allowing
me
to
open
up
my
door
for
me
to
find
out
about
freedom
works.
This
place
has
been
a
blessing,
my
own
life.
No,
it's
not
a
flophouse.
First
and
foremost,
that's
the
first
thing
I
heard
about
it.
I
heard
water
book
I
heard
about
it
from
the
Stillwater
prison,
actually
division,
where
I
got
for
the
place
for
me,
warrior
with
the
side
of
a
segregation
hole.
You
know,
and
the
Lord
really
showed
me.
Y
Both
freedom,
roads,
I've
known
George
I,
was
in
prison
with
George.
He
really
didn't.
Remember
me:
I
was
in
her
Bible
study
with
them.
He
shared
a
vision
about
freedom
works
with
me,
and
the
Lord
opened
up
the
door
for
me
to
to
come
here
straight
from
prison.
You
know
to
have
actually
had
my
own
key
to
apartment.
Y
No,
you
just
talk
more
from
a
guy
that
I
really
get
no
help
from
inside
the
person's.
That's
part
of
my
own
doing,
but
I
actually
have
that
to
come.
Come
to
us
our
foundation.
No
first,
my
first,
my
first
day
in
the
program,
my
wife
found
on
Jesus
Christ,
first
and
foremost,
but
this
brother
right
here
Esteban
my
parole
officer.
My
parents
talked
more
for
me
coming
out.
That's
new
I'm,
not
gonna,
be
I.
Have
us
surrounded
couple
any
any
good
line,
but
I
think
what
quarterback
needs
a
neither
offensive
line.
Y
I'm
looking
at
I'm
like
wow
I'm,
always
yours
me,
game
coming
out,
she's
been
coming
out.
Sometimes
you
know
I'm
getting
them
nowhere
to
go
cut
you
right
to
the
street
over
to
Harbor
lights.
We
talk
about
the
felons
and
stuff
a
lot
of
times.
I
know
guys
are
in
fifth
in
prison
right
now
and
don't
that
place
to
go
is
cut
them
up
the
Harbor
lights.
They
run
around
Minneapolis
or
st.
Paul
Road
mission,
but
I
was
allowed
to
come
here
to
Freedom
Works.
They
accepted
me
from
there
give
me
a
chance.
Y
Give
me
a
chance
to
come
under
the
under
their
banner.
You
know,
and
I
just
want
to
share.
Is
that
I
say
it's
not
a
flop
holes
you
require
to
your
job,
pay
a
damage,
positive
pay,
rent
accept
becoming
a
threat
to
member
society.
They
got
the
outlaws.
I
have
a
mentorship
program
here,
where
they
don't
get
paid
to
do
this.
They
voluntarily
do
this.
Some
are
own
business
owners.
You
know.
Well,
it's
upstanding
community
members
of
society.
You
know
they
come
alongside
of
us.
Take
care
and
I'm
a
town
I'm
sure
enough.
Y
For
me,
like
that's
huge
man,
that's
huge,
there's
like
wow.
They
have
these
people
come
alongside
of
me
and
helped
me
start
growing
and
become
the
man
that
God
created
me
become
first
and
foremost
like
right.
Now
the
share
with
you
is
that
I'm
paying
rent-
that's
something
I've,
never
done
I'm,
actually
looking
forward
pain
in
my
pain,
my
fines
before
I
issued
a
ticket
I'll,
throw
it
away.
Y
You
know,
but
now
I'm,
looking
like
wow,
how
I
mean
how,
where
I
was
that
my
own
life
I
was
nothing
I
was
just
so
and
better
these
streets,
but
lord
I
see
in
this
place.
This
give
me
it
gave
me
a
chance
to
breathe
for
most
trot
me
with
awesome
people,
you
know,
and
but
right
now,
I'm
bill
I'm
bill
with
my
credit
score
back
up
these
things.
I
never
looked
at.
They
got
family
there.
I
got
a
family
piece
for
men
that
are
coming
out
of
prison.
Y
Y
Alongside
of
us
surrounding
us,
with
these,
with
these
pieces
become
the
men
we
need
to
become
become
the
great
men
of
the
guys
garage
truck
gods,
craters
to
be
you
got
while
these
new
brothers
are
here,
they
have
businesses
in
July
that
dreams,
no
just
not
being
part
of
the
streets.
No,
we
won't
be
part
of
solution,
I'm
told
I'm
speaking
for
Jason.
You
know
that
when
you
talk
about
the
Jordan
block
Club,
we
were
there
in
the
summer
to
summer
time
for
dreamers,
banding
man
and
me,
and
my
brother
Melvin.
Y
We
were
all
in
the
community
with
the
children
dancing
eating
socializing,
showing
that
we
do
care,
but
we
also
do
share
young
kids
across
the
street.
No
well
I
want
stumbled
on
that
same
path.
You
know
when
we
want
to
share
boy
Christian
program.
Jesus
Christ
went
in
the
streets
disciples
to
the
roughest
people
in
the
neighborhood.
That's
why
I'm
sharing
right
now
is
that
I'm
not
saying
we'll
be
part
of
the
solution,
not
part
of
the
problem.
Y
Let
us
become
part
of
the
solution
and
that's
why
I
truly
look
at
it's
like
no
whole
life.
For
me,
we're
up
in
the
background
hopeful
no
salisbirk
I
made
choices,
poor
choices,
I'm,
making
great
choice,
I
mean
it's
a
great
when
I
come
here,
it's
poor,
but
they
allow
me
to
come
here.
No,
they
become
the
man.
I
need
become.
Strong
is
good.
Awesome
brothers
that
we
hold
we
I.
Also
we
gonna
share
with
you
is
that,
although
they
will
share
this
message
of
freedom
works
over
an
Eastside
st.
Y
Paul
Brett's
rough
neighborhood
and
we
talked
about.
We
talked
about
people
coming
from
from
in
the
in
Minnesota
lot
of
drug
dealers
and
stuffing
down
what
he
has
know
about
nothing
from
majority
of
her
from
not
from
Minneapolis
they're
from
Chicago
Detroit
I
mean
Delta,
know
California's
our
friend.
All
all
the
states
know
saying
home
from
Mexico,
so
I'm
gonna
share
is
that
I
think
Freedom
Works
keep
my
guy
coming
out
of
prison.
Well
guys,
never
had
nothing,
her
life,
he
actually
let
him
start
building
and
building
his
life.
That's
what
that
that's!
Y
What
this
program
does
gives
you
hope,
maybe
I
don't
got
that
hope
him
a
chance.
No
sir
trilogy
life
back
up.
You
see
George!
You
know
he
got
been
in
our
prison.
Not
always
did
that
excellent
director
of
the
program,
but
he
wants
houses
he's
a
good
man
of
God.
He
cares
about
us.
They
cares
about
the
community
to
know
that
that
means,
for
me,
gives
me
hope,
like
wow
you
want.
I
could
be
that
I
got
to
be
that
guy,
actually,
that
successful
guy
had
to
walk
be
a
member
of
my
society.
Y
I
want
to
share
with
you
is
that
in
that
little
short
time
you
know,
we've
had
a
operational
door
in
the
neighborhood
each
gate
festival
for
aside
st.
Paul.
Also,
you
know
I'm
all
here
in
Minneapolis
I'm
walking
downtown
I'm
on
the
light
rails.
So
he
talk
more.
You
know
the
drugs
and
all
that
it's
all
around
you
you'll
or
st.
Paul
in
light
rails.
It's
all
around
you
how
much
Sharon
is
that
I'm
sure
the
division
of
Freedom
Works
sure
loves
Jesus
Christ
with
others
st..
You
know
what
this
other
day.
Y
I
was
praying
for
a
guy
up
here
on
the
street
come
he
knows
the
word.
I
was
praying
for
sharing
Freedom
Works,
but
the
pay
man-
maybe
you
maybe
go
to
Teen
Challenge
and
they
may
be
coming
there.
Freedom
Works.
It's
go
off,
someplace,
nobody,
a
foundation!
That's
why
one
of
shares
that
I
believe
this
instead
of
us
looking
at
I
understand
all
the
aspects
go
into
it
almost
talking
about.
We
really
talk
about
changing,
no
giving
guys
second
chances.
Y
A
W
Name
is
Jim
Moore
4810,
highway,
7,
st.
Louis,
Park
I
direct,
the
are
three
collaborative
and
I
just
wanted
to
come
and
I
just
want
to
offer
a
couple
things
I
think
that
would
complement
what
people
have
been
talking
about.
We
represent
over
500
ministries
and
recovery
organizations
that
provide
services.
People
need
jobs,
they
need
mental
health
resources,
they
need
recovery
groups,
they
need
prison.
Re-Entry
groups
and
the
tragic
thing
about
coming
out
of
prison
are
coming
out
of
treatment.
W
The
funding
stops
once
you're
out
it
this
these
nonprofit
faith-based
organizations
are
the
ones
that
stand
in
the
gap
and
provide
it.
So
one
point
of
clarification
with
Freedom
Works
I've
worked
for
over
ten
years
with
Minnesota
Dalton
Teen
Challenge.
We
we
are
looking
for
places
that
we
can
send
our
clients
after
some
go
most
for
one
year,
some
for
two
years,
but
that's
not
the
end
of
it.
It
takes
years
to
reclaim
life.
Freedom
Works
has
been
one
of
the
premier
providers.
W
They
they
proven
themselves
to
provide
that
transitional
environment
with
resources
go
to
work,
go
to
school,
a
clear-cut,
Authority,
random
drug
test,
mentorship
sponsorship,
when
when
people
say
halfway
houses,
those
are
storage
units
for
human
beings,
their
work
release,
programs,
they're
someplace,
where
somebody
goes
and
crashes
for
30
days
after
treatment.
These
transitional
programs
do
these
wraparound
services
I've
talked
to
George
about
having
an
r3
service
center,
where
we
can
have
all
these
resources,
and
it's
not
just
for
Freedom
Works.
W
It's
it's
for
the
North
Minneapolis
community,
one
of
the
things
when
you
look
at
when
people
coming
out
of
prison,
it's
been
a
lot
of
what
Freedom
Works
is
focused
with,
but
they've
also
done
a
stellar
job
with
people
coming
out
of
treatment
and
that's
Teen
Challenge,
a
Union
Gospel,
Mission,
Salvation,
Army,
adult
rehabilitation,
center,
Metro,
hope
centers.
These
are
one
plus
year
treatment
programs,
those
that
have
been
in
prison,
have
spent
two
to
three
years
in
prison.
Fellowship
that's
an
intensive
isolated
unit
in
line
of
lakes.
W
Where
people
volunteer
to
go
there,
so
they
can
have
a
strong
shot
at
life.
So,
there's
a
selection
criteria
that
gets
involved
we're
trying
to
find
a
place
where
these
people
have
demonstrated
a
commitment
to
turn
their
lives
around
and
and
the
thing
I
want
to
say
for
the
community
and
buyer
of
fruits
will
be
known,
but
you
don't
go
in
and
turn
around
all
the
drug
dealers,
but
volunteerism
is
steps
11
and
12
in
the
12-step
program.
W
It's
all
about
the
faith
community.
Our
sobriety
lies
in
giving
back
and
engaging
in
the
community.
This
will
be
a
center
that
will
bless
and
serve
North
Minneapolis.
That
makes
sense,
and
so
we
just
want
to
bring
those
resources
into
the
city
with
the
with
the
men
that
are
in
there
and
provide
those
right.
A
Z
Sorry
for
all
the
noise
with
the
children,
my
name
is
Dominic
wells
and
I
live
on
2935
Girard
Avenue
North,
so
this
Center
will
be
a
block
away
from
my
home
and
so
I
have
two
small
children
and
the
thing
that
I
keep
hearing
or
the
word
that
keeps
getting
thrown
around
this
evening-
is
community
community
community
and
I
purchased.
My
home
back
in
April
and
I
came
into
this
community,
the
Jordan
neighborhood,
because
I
felt
it
was
safe.
Z
You
know
there
were
schools
around
I
felt
that
my
kids
would
have
a
place
that
would
have
a
lasting
neighborhood
that
would
look
out
for
each
other
and
be
there
for
each
other,
and
you
know:
I've
had
family
that's
gone
through
similar
programs
as
the
Freedom
Works
and
so
by
no
means
do.
I
think
that
this
program
is
not
necessary.
Z
I
think
it's
a
great
program,
for
you
know
what
they
do
for
the
gentleman
or
what
not
but
I
was
told
about
this
motion
a
few
days
ago,
and
if
this
is
a
program
that
has
been
set
forth
to
help
the
community,
then
why
are
we
not
all
involved
in
this
decision?
I
can
say
that
it
does
scare
me
a
little
bit
when
you
think
of
me
having
a
young.
Z
Z
Can't
say
that
I'm
I
approve
and
I
support
their
mission
and
what's
going
on
because
people
need
chances,
people
need
the
resources.
People
need
the
to
gain
that
respect
back
into
the
community.
I,
don't
believe
that
it
needs
to
all
be
focused
in
Minneapolis,
as
it
is
already
and
always
has
been,
and
I
asked
that
you
know
this
is
pushed
back
and-
and
we
put
a
hold
on
this
so
that
we
can
get
more
community
support
and
just
kind
of
understand
have
a
better
understanding
of.
Z
A
C
A
question
for
staff
Hilary,
both
the
Hawthorne
Area
Community
Council
in
the
Jordan
area,
community
council,
were
references
being
at
least
contacted
it
and
that
it
was
implied
that
Jordan
had
expressed
support
for
the
project,
but
I
didn't
see
letters
from
either
organization
in
the
packet
for
those
received.
It's
just
left
out
of
the
packet.
What's
the
scoop
I.
A
C
P
This
is
a
note
that
was
sent
on
to
me
by
Kathy
Spann
on
the
23rd
of
July.
She
said
on
behalf
of
Jack
I
want
to
reiterate:
congratulations
to
Freedom
Works
on
their
acquisition
of
the
saintil
of
campus.
The
jack
board
and
staff
wished
the
agency
much
success
in
its
new
endeavor.
She
goes
on
to
tell
me
that
they're
vacating
the
office
building
because
of
previous
problems
with
the
former
owner
and
she
she
outlines
that,
and
she
said
over
the
past
few
years,
we've
partnered
with
st.
P
A
I
You
mr.
chair
I
would
move
to
deny
the
conditional
use
permit
and
I,
don't
normally
like
to
go
against
staff
recommendation,
but
I
think
here
since
we're
looking
at
the
use
itself
and
the
conditional
use
for
it
I
think
purely
from
a
land
use
standpoint.
Obviously
it's
better
to
reuse
the
property
than
to
leave
it
unoccupied,
but
I'm
struck
by
the
remark
that
the
gentleman
made
who's,
the
house
manager
on
Penn
and
I'm,
normally
supportive
of
the
work
and
the
rehabilitation
that's
been
done.
I
But
what
the
gentleman
said
was,
wherever
it's
needed
everywhere
and
it'll
be
great
as
long
as
you
put
it
in
the
right
place
and
it's
run
by
the
right.
People
and
and
I
could
not
agree
with
that
more.
But
you
can't
overlook
the
fact
that
there
is
so
much
of
this
in
that
neighborhood
and
the
concentration
of
it
and
without
even
talking
about
moving
to
another
city.
I
There
are
certainly
other
neighborhoods
in
Minneapolis
that
don't
have
this
concentration
and
I
think
that
the
neighbors
who
have
spoken
out
who
live
in
the
community
you
know
and
from
what
we
know
from
approving
other
projects
and
things
I.
Do
think
that,
in
this
case,
approval
of
this
new
108
unit,
supportive
housing
facility
would
be
detrimental
to
the
health
safety
in
the
comfort
of
the
general
welfare
and
interfere
with
the
use
of
surrounding
properties.
I
The
the
72
unit,
one
has
been
approved
and
I
think
I-
think
that
that's
great
I
think
that
that's
a
good
start
I'm
concerned
also
by
a
little
bit
of
the
the
openness
of
the
108
unit
concept
that
and
I
and
I
I.
Don't
I,
don't
I.
Leave
that
you're
being
very
sincere
when
you
say
well,
it'll
never
be
a
hundred
and
eight,
but
nonetheless
the
approval
would
be
for
a
hundred
and
eight
and
that's
what
that's
what
it
could
be.
I
It's
almost
more
detrimental
that
not
all
hundred
and
eight
would
be
Freedom
Works
that
there
are
these
unknown
contingencies
and
I
have
every
reason
to
believe
that
the
intentions
are
good
and
that
the
hope
for
good
outcome
is
good.
But
for
me
approving
this
conditional
use
permit,
just
with
the
with
what
we
have
to
think
about
is
the
use
in
this
space.
I
can't
I
can't
support
the
staff
recommendation
and
I
believe
those
would
also
be
the
basis
for
findings,
but
I
will
make
a
motion
to
deny
the
conditional
use
permit.
We.
A
C
C
An
engagement
with
that
organization,
I
I,
think
a
lot
of
people
are
panicking
about
what
this
means
and
to
be
honest,
I
am
like
my
colleague,
pretty
I'm,
feeling
very
heartened
by
what
your
program
actually
brings.
I
think
it
sounds
like
a
really
awesome,
wonderful
thing
to
be
honest
and
I
actually
did
get
more
a
concern
about
the
numerous
other
entities
that
would
be
sharing,
programming,
space
and
I,
and
what
that
means
it
was.
It
was
kind
of
vague
answer.
One
of
the
speakers
questions.
C
I
am
one
of
the
residents
of
pres
Minneapolis
I've
lived
there
almost
two
decades,
I
lived
on
25th
and
Emerson
for
about
thirteen
years.
I
can
tell
you
it's
a
wonderful
community.
I
can
tell
you
a
lot
of
crime
happens,
but
that
the
people
who
live
there
are
fantastic
people.
I
love
the
people
on
my
block
and
and
I.
The
thing
that
I
hear
over
and
over
is
about
the
concentrations
of
things
that
we
we
as
a
society
put
in
North,
Minneapolis
I
think
it's
it's
real
estate
is
cheaper
than
elsewhere.
C
So
that's
one
factor
I,
think
that
it's
telling
that
I
don't
know
if
any
of
the
board
members
for
freedom
works
that
are
if
they
currently
live
in
North
I.
Think
that
that's
a
huge
sign
right
there.
If
you
don't
want
it
in
your
own
backyard
and
then
why
would
you
expect
people
to
want
it
in
theirs
and
I?
I
say
that
not
because
you're
not
wanted,
but
because
a
lot
of
facilities
and
programs
and
people
with
really
good
intentions
put
their
programs
in
north
to
help
North
without
actually
being
a
member
of
north.
C
So
I'm
thinking
of
my
neighbors
and
and
the
people
in
North
that
I
love
and
I'm
thinking
that
they
deserve
to
have
a
voice
and
at
the
very
least
this
should
be
heard
more
in
the
community,
because
I
think
you
guys
make
a
very
compelling
case
for
your
program.
I
think
it
sounds
beautiful.
I
think
that,
as
a
whole,
the
project
seems
to
have
a
lot
of
loose
things,
though
that
need
to
be
tied
up,
especially
when
it
comes
to
accountability.
C
I,
think
the
communities
used
a
lot
of
nonprofits
and
organizations
coming
in
and
and
doing
things
with
good
intentions,
but
with
no
sense
of
what
can
what
they
can
do
when
things
go
wrong
and
things
will
go
wrong,
I
mean
it's
where
human
things
will
go
wrong.
So
what
happened
so
so
I'll
be
supporting
the
motion
tonight.
C
I
at
the
very
least,
I
think
you
should
go
to
the
community
where
the
guard
list
of
whether
you
get
the
hundred
80
units
fully
approved
tonight
or
whether
it's
just
the
initial
72
I,
think
either
way
you
should
go
to
both
Jordan
and
Hawthorne.
Realizing
too,
that
the
boards
are
just
a
representative
portion
of
the
community
and
try
to
do
outreach
in
general.
I
know
I
used
to
walk
the
block
along
Emerson
Avenue
and
pick
up
trash.
You
know
three
times
a
week
on
a
regular
basis.
C
It's
amazing
how
many
neighbors
you
can
meet
just
doing
that.
So
you
have
a
good
mission.
I!
Think
it's
worth
spreading
word
about
it,
but
I
think
that
for
tonight
that's
that
time
feeling
I
think
that
maybe
organizations
need
to
understand
that
it
might
cost
more
to
go
elsewhere,
but
that
everyone
needs
to
share
in
helping
lift
people
up
and
not
just
expect
one
community
to
do
it
all
so.
Thank
You
Commissioner.
O
A
O
My
concern,
mostly,
is
that
there
was
no
community
engagement
and
that
72
beds
were
approved
back
in
May
and
neighbors
still
don't
know.
What's
going
on,
I
hear
excellent
outcomes
in
terms
of
what's
happened
on
where
Freedom
Works
is
now
currently
in
Ward
4
on
Penn
Avenue
and
you
know
I
think
neighbors.
Would
the
neighborhood
would
appreciate
hearing
some
of
those
stories
as
well
and
but
to
go
from
the
72
to
180
without
knowing
you
know
what
the
72
will
bring
I
think
it's
a
little
premature
right
right
now,
so
be
supporting
motion
confirm.
M
Will
not
be
supporting
the
motion,
I
think
I've
said
a
few
times
in
other
situations
that
we've
had
that
I,
really
don't
like
giving
the
impression
that
the
neighborhood
organizations
are
a
unit
of
government
and
so
I
think
when
we
are
very
concerned
about
that,
sometimes
we
send
pretty
mixed
messages
to
folks
across
the
city.
There's
a
notice
requirement
to
send
things
like
this
to
people
within
a
certain
distance
of
the
property
and
also
to
neighborhood
organization
that
it's
in
and
it
sounds
like
they've
met
their
requirements
here
beyond
that.
M
I
think
this
is
a
fairly
straightforward
land
use
question.
It's
a
conditional
use,
permit
I
think
the
applicant
meets
the
five
findings
for
the
conditional
use.
Permit
I
agree
in
principle
that
it's
something
that
we
need
to
be
concerned
about
when
we're
concentrating
certain
uses
in
certain
areas
and
I
think
that's
a
problem
that
Minneapolis
does
have,
but
that's
not
really
what's
before
us
right
now,
so
I
I
won't
be
supporting
the
motion.
Commissioner.
F
Schrader
I
also
will
be
supporting
the
motion.
I
think
it
would
have
been
more
open
to
a
continuance,
because
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
work
to
to
talk
more
to
the
neighborhood,
to
make
sure
that
you
really
are
a
part
of
it.
But
that's
that,
like,
like
the
Commissioner
Mourinho,
said,
I
think
the
applicant
meets
the
standards
and
I
hear
hardly
what
neighbors
say
that
they
you
know
we
need
to
have.
We
should
have
the
whole
city,
you
know
doing
its
fair
part
and
I
feel
for
my
ward.
F
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
also
carrying
our
own
weight
and
I
would
say
for
this
and
why
I
would
go
for
a
continuance
and
we'll
be
voting
against
us.
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
more
need
and
then
just
adding
these
hundred
beds.
We
have
the
need
and
I
hope
that
myself
and
my
other
colleagues
are
able
to.
You-
know
see
this
in
all
parts
of
the
city
right.
K
Yeah
I
I
agree,
I'm
sympathetic
to
Commissioner
squeezies
arguments,
but
I
don't
think
I
can
support
denial.
I
I
would
be
open
to
continuance
because
I
I've
heard
the
neighbors
and
I
think
you
have
some
some
compelling
questions
and
want
to
get
more
educated
about
the
program.
It's
a
fantastic
program,
but
the
message
that
denial
says
is
not.
It's
is
everybody's
been
saying,
oh
well,
you
know
we
welcome
the
stories
of,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
to
speak
and
share
your
stories
as
as
folks
who
have
gone
through
this
program.
K
It's
probably
not
easy
to
do,
but
the
message
that
we're
sending
up
with
a
denial
is
you're,
not
bad,
but
we
still
don't
want
you
there's
a
huge
need
and
the
the
land
use
question
is
I'm.
Certainly
sympathetic.
I
can
only
imagine
what
it
would
be
like
if
this
was
coming
from
parts
of
my
district
that
I
represent
on
the
park
board
and
but
that's
a
again
at
another
issue,
and
so
I
can't
support
denial
right.
A
K
AA
Like
to
throw
a
my
my
two
cents
and
I
support,
a
continuance
at
this
point,
I
think
there'd
be
helpful
to
be
more
clarity
on
what
different
programs
and
what
different
spaces
and
what
the
actual
total
numbers
of
those
things
would
look
like
as
I'm
I'm,
confused
right
now,
I'm
sitting
here
and
I
I,
don't
feel
compelled
to
deny
it
at
this
point.
But
I
would
like
some
more
clarity
into
that
realm.
A
E
L
B
G
C
Would
I
don't
know,
looks
like
for
the
schedule,
but
I
think
it
should
be
enough
time
for
the
neighborhoods.
They
actually
have
a
full
board
meeting
because
usually
goes
to
committee.
Then
it
goes
to
board,
and
so
one
cycle,
I,
don't
think
would
be
enough
for
them
to
actually
engage
in
a
meaningful
way.
C
L
I
am
sort
of
torn
on
this
I
think
freedom,
work
sounds
great
and
and
I
do
not
live
in
North
Minneapolis,
but
I
live
in
a
city
block
that
has
both
supportive
housing
and
public
housing
on
it.
So
I
know
a
little
bit
about
having
a
variety
of
uses
on
blocks
and
and
both
of
those
uses
of
my
block
are
small
scale
uses
and
I
think
that
there
is
something
to
be
said
about
having
small
small
scale
distribution
throughout
the
city.
L
As
has
been
said
number
of
times,
I
mean
I,
have
three
toddlers
and
there's
no
way
I'm
moving
my
neighborhoods
awesome
and
having
supportive
housing
on
my
block
certainly
does
not
detract
from
that.
So
I
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
as
I
think
about
you
know,
freedom
work
sounds
like
Freedom.
Works
is
current
facility
houses
and
supports
about
sixteen
to
eighteen
folks,
and
that
is
a
scale
that
really
like
weaves
into
a
neighborhood
fabric
and
so
I
think,
as
you
engage
this
community
in
the
next
couple
weeks.
L
If
this
motion
passes
and
as
you
think
about
coming
back,
would
you
come
back
to
us
with
I?
Think
thinking
about
how
you
address
those
questions
of
scale,
because
it
to
me
that's
part
of
the
question
and
and
I'm
not
sure
how
I
you
know,
I'm
inclined
to
agree
that
this
begs
the
question
of
policy
questions
that
maybe
stand
outside
of
the
parameters
of
this
particular
land
use
application.
L
A
K
A
A
AB
AB
The
applicant
is
proposing
146
dwelling
units
and
also
about
7,000
square
feet
of
commercial
space.
There
would
be
an
underground
parking
area
as
well
as
at-grade
parking,
and
the
applicant
is
amenable
to
all
the
recommended
conditions
of
approval,
except
for
two.
So
one
is
that
is
number
seven
of
site
plan
review.
It's
that
a
green
wall
shall
be
installed
along
the
blank
wall
of
the
East
elevation
between
the
surface
parking
area
and
the
East
property
line.
AB
So
the
applicant
would
like
to
contest
that
condition
and
then
also
condition
number
12,
which
is
that
the
South
elevation
cell
shall
be
revised
so
that
the
metal
panel
exterior
shall
be
extended
in
lieu
of
the
white
stucco
to
mitigate
the
visual
impact
of
the
building
and
to
ensure
consistency
and
design
among
all
Street
facing
facades.
So
you
may
have
noticed
that
the
other
facades
that
face
a
public
street
or
a
public
walkway,
how
largely
metal
panel
and
the
white
stucco
is
kind
of
a
subordinate
material
on
those
elevations.
AB
AA
AB
AB
A
AC
Afternoon,
chair
and
members
of
the
Commission,
yeah
I
think
I'd,
probably
I.
Think
middlings
staff
report
covers
pretty
much
everything
I'll
just
comment,
then,
on
the
two
items
that
we
wanted
to
take
exception
to
the
first
one's
pretty
straightforward.
The
the
green
wall
along
the
east
side
of
the
property
I'm
just
flip
through
is.
A
AC
So,
on
the
east
side,
right
up
to
the
right
is
north.
We
have
the
opportunity,
through
a
landscape
area
over
the
entry
to
the
garage
to
add
some
taller
landscaping
along
that
east
east
leg
of
the
of
the
building
and
in
which
case
that
would
take
up
about
two-thirds,
maybe
even
3/4
of
that
facade,
which
basically
goes
between
my
thumb
and
and
I.
Think
that
would
help
mitigate
any
and
concerns,
for
you
know
a
blank
wall
facing
neighboring
property
in
that
regard.
P
AC
And
I
guess
the
interests
there
is
that
we
could
provide
some,
let's
just
call
it
more
3d
or
volumous,
let's
just
say
landscaping,
to
screen
that
wall
rather
than
something
that's
merely
just
sort
of
facade
treatment
on
the
brick
is
their
intent.
Maybe,
and
so
we'd
be
amenable
to
doing
that,
and
then
the
other
item
just.
AC
So
this
is
the
south
side,
so
on
the
on
the
West
facade,
of
course,
we
have
a
fair
amount
of
the
multicolored
metal
panel,
as
well
as
in
the
dark
metal
panel.
That's
the
recessed
back
that
same
metal.
Film
returns
around
the
North
Side
south
side
here
and
then
we
transition
to
a
stucco
and
and
really
did
stucco
in
that
location.
AC
AA
AC
Y
AC
Go
so
there
are
it's
it's
fairly
faint
here
there
are.
There
is
the
opportunity
for
some
openings
that,
but
it's
openings
into
a
garage
right.
We
have
some
on
the
north
side
that
we're
playing
to
screen
we're
also
considering
that,
from
your
own
standpoint,
from
an
access
control
as
anything
being
along
on
the
north
side
being
along
the
there's,
a
walkway
there
in
the
right
away.
AC
AA
AC
U
AC
B
AC
AC
C
AC
C
AC
AC
C
M
I
can't
remember
if
we
talked
about
this
at
committee
of
the
whole
or
not,
it
doesn't
look
like
you've
made
accommodations
for
and
I
know.
It's
not
your
responsibility
to
do
that,
but
people
are
definitely
gonna
cut
through
the
north
side
of
this
property,
I
mean
to
get
from
between
like
Nicollet
and
LaSalle
right.
There
I
live
down.
AC
AC
Right,
well,
we
are,
you
know,
part
of
the
the
proposal
and
we've
requested
a
permit
from
the
from
MnDOT
is
to
have
a
patio
out
there.
That
would
provide
some
outdoor
public
space
as
far
as
maintaining
the
trail
and
things
I.
Don't
know
if
there's
any
commitments
that
we
would
like
to
make
I
mean
I,
think
certainly
we'd
wanna
be
sensitive
to
disrepair
and,
and
things
like
that,
that
you
know
wouldn't
reflect
well
on
the
property,
certainly
but
I'm
not
sure
we
haven't
entered
any
agreements
with
MnDOT.
This
is
their
property.
M
M
A
A
AA
A
A
B
A
U
A
M
AA
AA
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
item
F
the
site
plan
review,
replacing
commit
condition
number
seven,
with
a
condition
requiring
that
on
the
East
elevation,
the
that
openings
are
installed
with
the
metal
screening,
as
required
by
staff
as
well
as
low
shrubs
or
other
landscaping
and
Commissioner
crowns.
Or
maybe
you
could
just
explain
one
more
time,
so
we're
clear
to
staff.
What
what
are
you
envisioning
for
the
window?
Opening
well.
AA
A
A
M
Greenham
I'll
just
say
quickly
since
they're
gonna
move
down
the
street
I've
looked
at
this
lot
for,
like
eight
years
now
and
I'm
happy
that
somebody's
doing
something
to
it.
I
think
it's
a
well-designed
project
got
a
lot
of
retail
space
and
looks
like
it'll,
be
you
know,
reasonably
affordable
for
a
market
rate
project.
So
thanks
for
doing
it.
