So
anyone
wishing
to

A
Moving
along
item.

a
multi-family
residential
building
at
that
location,
I
know:
Commissioner,
krons
er
had
a
question
about
that.
One.
So
we'll
plan
to
discuss
item
7
item
8
is
a
23:23
Jackson

at
that
location.
As
anyone
wishing
to
speak
in
opposition
to
or
modify
the
staff
recommendation
on
item
8c,
no
one
will
put
it
update.
B
A
Anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
on
that
item,
otherwise
we
will
consider
that
on
consent
as
well
see
no
one.
Our
agenda
as
amended,
is
as
follows:
items
1,
2,
6,
8,
&
9
will
be
considered
on
consent,
they'll
discuss
items,
5,
7,
&,
8
and
items
3.
&Amp;
4
will
be
continued
to
the
August
13th
meeting.
They
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
as
amended.
A
A
A
And
that
motion
carries
next
may
have
a
motion
to
continue
items:
3
&
4
to
the
August
13th
meeting.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor,
and
that
motion
carries
next.
We
have
well
we'll
move
on
to
our
public
hearings
and,
at
this
time
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
for
the
items
on
the
consent
agenda.
Again,
that's
items
1
2,
&
6.
One
last
call
is
anyone
here
for
any
of
those
things.
Yes
item

of
the
plat
is
also
on
the
consent

A
So
again,
that's
1,
2,
6,
&,

see
no
and
I'll
close.
The
public
hearing
and
commissioners
may
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda.
If
a
motion
is
there
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor
and
that
motion
carries
next
we'll
move
on
to
our
items
for
discussion,
starting
with
item
5,
1,300
and
Brighton
Boulevard
staff
is
miss
Heather
and
Commissioner
Rockville
I
understand
you
had
a
question
about
landscaping.
Is
there
anything
you'd
like
staff
to
focus
on
in
their
presentation.
F
Sure
you
know,
my
only
concern
here
is
on
the
landscaping
and
in
particular
the
canopy
tree
requirement,
and
you
know,
I
just
have
concerns
from
a
heat,
island
and
climate
change
impact
and
so
I
guess
a
question
would
be
as
you
look
at
the
map
which
I
don't
have.
Oh
you've
got
it
right
there.
It's
up
on
the
screen,
I
see
they're
only
using
part
of
the
site
and
so
well.
This
is
I,
guess
a
question,
but
you
could
just
kind
of
discuss
the
landscaping
and
that
soil
conditions
and
so
forth.
That
would
be
helpful.
G
G
There
was
truck
sales
for
large
semi
trucks
and
prior
to
that
they
sold
mobile
homes,
but,
prior
to
that,
even
the
site
was
a
former
glory
that
was
land
filled
with
mixed
waste,
and
this
height
extended
all
the
way
north
to
the
the
quarry
shopping
center
north
of
here
mm-hmm,
the
Coria
Shopping
Center
is
part
of
its
redevelopment
and
then
also
with
interstate
35w.
Those
sites
were
remediated.
G
This
site
is
in
a
voluntary
program
that
we
understand
it's
no
longer
referred
to
as
the
voluntary
investigation
and
cleanup
program,
but
the
Petroleum
brownfield,
and
so
in
2009
we
received
an
application
to
vary
the
surfacing
requirement.
So
presently
the
majority
of
the
site
is
classified
as
it
currently
exists.
So
nearly
all
of
the
site
is
classified.
There
is
one
small
building
here
with
an
addition
that
was
constructed
in
2011,
their
New
Brighton
Boulevard,
formerly
went
through
the
site
to
the
north.
G
This
was
acquired
by
the
previous
property
owner
and
was
not
originally
included
in
the
quarry
or
the
landfill
site,
so
in
2009
this
was
really
became
our
opportunity
area
to
allow
for
increased
landscaping.
I
spoke
with
the
zoning
enforcement
inspector
this
afternoon
and
pulled
the
file
and
the
site
is
in
compliance
with
that
previously
approved
plan.
So,
as
we've
noted,
the
leasehold
area
is
a
portion
of
the
site,
approximately
a
third
but
the
site
requirement
in
the
requirements
you
see
inside
plan
review
or
for
the
entire
site.
G
So
the
minimum
canopy
tree
requirement
for
this
site
is
95
trees.
How
we
get
there
is
we
take
the
total
site
area.
We
subtract
out
that
small
building
footprint
and
the
remainder
of
the
site,
20%
of
that
is
required
to
be
landscaped.
You
know
of
that
landscaped
area.
We
require
one
tree
for
every
500
square
feet.
G
So
that's
how
we
get
to
95
and
the
applicant
is
proposing
a
total
of
13
trees,
again
kind
of
primarily
focused
in
those
areas
not
previously
identified
as
in
conflict
with
the
areas
for
which
there
is
some
known
pollution
on
the
site.
The
previous
application,
in
particular,
related
to
allowing
the
class
5
versus
any
sort
of
permanent
pavement,
concrete
asphalt,
etc,
is
because
off
gassing
of
methane
gas
is
is
needed
to
occur
when
the
site
is
not
frozen
and
by
covering
the
site.
G
Essentially,
you
get
bubbles
underneath
and
then
it
also
transfers
off
in
in
larger
quantities.
Therefore,
increasing
the
potential
impact
environmental
impact
for
air
quality,
so
staff
was
recommending
grafting
of
the
alternative
compliance
from
the
95
trees
down
to
the
13
just
again,
because
there,
the
site
portion
that
we
are
aware
that
is
eligible
for
landscaping
is
quite
minimal
compared
to
the
site
as
a
whole
and
I'd
be
happy
to
take
any
additional
questions
and.
H
G
These
are
the
sites
for
which
the
soil
borings
had
occurred,
and
they
found
the
methane
gas
at
at
certain
deaths.
As
you've
seen
noted
on
this
plan
just
again
indicating
methane
gas
was
present
at
a
certain
depth,
and
that
was
evident
as
potential
for
environmental
impacts
for
covering
of
the
site,
so
where
you're,
seeing
the
soil
borings
is
not
in
tight,
is
under
where
the
class-five
is,
and
so
as
far
as
having
more
of
the
site
surveyed,
it
was
not,
but
this
will
what
was
provided
as
part
of
that
application
right
and.
F
G
F
Okay
and
last
I
mean
when
I
think
about
some
of
the
places
we
plant
trees
in
the
city
or
like
downtown.
It's
pretty
tough
environment
or
it
will
kind
of
raise
raised
beds.
It's
kind
of
the
home
gardener
term,
but
you
know,
do
raise
two
things
with
soil
on
them.
Is
that
possible
here
I
mean?
Is
there
a
reason
why
that's
not
possible?
Maybe
I'll
ask
it.
G
F
If
you
were
putting
that
on
on
paving
or
just
carving
out
the
paving
I
guess,
I
mean
my
concern
here.
You
know
we
saw
a
little
bit
of
it.
I
realized
that
the
the
app
conserve
caught
in
this,
but
but
we
saw
a
couple
weeks
ago-
Doran
came
with
a
parking
lot
repaving
and
there
were
environmental
concerns
there
and
we
asked
them
to
take
care
of
stormwater
management
on
site,
and
this
seems
like
a
site.
That's
worthy.
You
know
these
big
surface
parking.
Lots
are
major
heat,
island
areas
and
and
I
have
to
imagine.
F
F
G
Above
what
the
thirteen
were
proposed,
we
did
not
consider
that
instead,
we
focused
our
recommendations,
as
you
saw
in
really
kind
of
screening
and
greening
for
a
long,
New,
Brighton
Boulevard.
But
if
the
applicant
is
available
perhaps
to
ask
what
kind
of
additional
measures
may
need
to
be
taken,
perhaps
with
the
MPCA
if
large
areas
are
disturbed
and
what
the
process
would
look
like
furthered.
Thank.
A
G
J
And
that's
groundwater
impacts,
petroleum
vapors,
leaving
the
site,
surface
water
quality
and
contaminated
surface
runoff.
So,
as
commissioner
Coleman
said,
the
vapors
are
certainly
a
large
concern.
But
as
is
disturbing
that
amount
of
surface
mixing
in
contaminated
soils
with
the
top
surface
and
then
having
a
surface
that
when
it
rains,
is
going
to
have
a
much
greater.
J
So
that's
how
I
guess
we
came
to
the
conclusion
of
where
we're
at
is
with
the
MPCA
guidelines
in
the
history
of
the
site,
with
the
I
mean
there's
petroleum
within
one
foot
of
the
ground,
joy
motors
based
on
the
soil
borings.
So
having
that
information
with
the
MPCA
guidelines
is
why
we
proposed
all
of
our
landscaping
improvements
within
the
old
New
Brighton
Boulevard.
J
F
J
That
so,
if
you
do
the
calculation
of
available
space
yeah
and
if
you
take
that
New
Brighton
Boulevard
you're,
looking
at
somewhere
around
10,000
square
feet,
there's
an
existing
stormwater
management
practice
within
that
green
space
that
you
don't
want
to
be
planting
trees
in
as
it's
gonna
have
conditions
of
very
saturated
soil
for
a
long
time
very
dry
soil
for
a
long
time.
And
then
there
are
also
public
utilities.
There
is
a
public
water
main
and
storm
sewer
that
runs
through
that
area
that
you
don't
want
to
be
putting
trees
over
the
top
of.
J
F
Saying
being
able
to
create
more
areas,
I'm
asking
about
the
potential
for
creating
more
areas
by
creating
above
grade
soil
containers
for
some
size
of
tree
about
it
you
know
I,
don't
know
if
the
parks,
commissioner
or
Landscape
Architects
or
anybody
out
here
most
were
about
this
than
me
because
I
sure
don't
know
a
lot
about
it.
But.
F
K
K
The
needs
of
any
given
canopy
tree
will
have
a
spread
equivalent
to
its
tree
spent,
and
then
it
also
has
to
have
a
greater
depth
and
in
the
field
it's
considered
in
the
urban
setting.
When
you
put
it
into
a
raised
planter
bed,
it's
it's
commonly
called
the
tree
coffin
because
while
it
can
survive,
it's
not
ideal
and
you're
still
going
to
have
the
depth
of
the
roots
going
down
much
deeper
than
more
warming
within
that
petroleum
basis.
F
D
Yeah
kind
of
just
a
few
kind
of
follow-up
questions
on
that
as
well.
So
it
seems
to
me
that
some
of
the
concerns
about
runoff
and
you
want
to
release
these
gases
in
the
air.
It
seems
like
those
are
all
things
that
usually
do
point
to
in
terms
of
trees.
Mitigating
so
I'm
wondering
like
what
I
would
feel
bad
for
a
tree
planted
in
petroleum
off
gassing
areas,
but
at
the
same
time,
is
there
a
benefit
to
having
them
there
to
help
mitigate
the
off
gassing?
L
J
D
For
this
a
site,
this
size
I
mean
it's
a
what
quantifies
a
significant
because
to
me
I
go
but
the
size
of
this
site
I
mean
that
doesn't
seem
like
an
overly
large
disturbance.
Although
I
understand
it's
a
unique
situation
being
a
brownfield,
but
I
mean
it
seems
to
me,
it's
a
unique
situation
being
a
brownfield
and
we
can
either
have
it
continue
to
off-gas,
but
not
be
anything
other
than
a
heat
island,
or
we
can
try
to
do
something
about
it.
So
yeah.
J
E
A
F
G
You
I
forgot
to
mention
that
yes,
so
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
applicant
last
week
and
then
they
had
a
chance
to
think
about
it
a
little
bit
more
over
the
weekend.
So
we
spoke
earlier
today.
The
applicant
would
like
the
flexibility
in
complying
with
the
enclosed
building
requirement.
That
requires
screening
a
view
of
this
particular
use
that
was
not
required
for
the
previous
use,
but
as
required
for
the
proposed
use.
So
what
we're?
G
Instead
I
used
truck
struck
number
four
that
you
saw
in
your
staff
report
in
your
agendas
today
and
then
provided
a
new
number
four,
which
essentially
reiterates
the
provision
I,
think
it's
550
to
80.
It
talks
about
screening
at
least
six
feet
in
height
95
percent
opaque.
They
could
do
that
if
they
wanted
to
do
a
new
screen
wall
or
an
O
screen
fence
in
lieu
of
doing
the
arborvitae
behind
the
existing
tailing
fence.
All.
F
A
F
I
will
move
approval
of
item
C
site
plan
review,
as
stated
in
the
July
30th
2018
memorandum
and
add
an
each
with
an
eighth
for
post
condition,
which
is
that
applicant
shall
work
with
C
ped
staff
and
park
board
staff
to
maximize
the
number
of
trees
on
site
up
to
the
proportional
amount
required
on
the
entire
site
for
the
use
area.
Approximately
30
trees.
A
F
N
F
N
So
it's
up
the
side
and
it's
I
think
her
preference
would
be
given
that
we
cannot
landscape
the
other
areas
of
the
site
that
we
would
use
that
we
would
calculate
the
total
area
inside
bits
that
is
actually
landscaped
currently
that
we
don't
have
to
further
disturb
so
whether
that's
ten
thousand
feet
or
twelve
thousand
feet,
and
then
we
would
calculate
it
based
on
the
one
for
five
hundred
using
that
landscaped
area.
If
it's
clear,
that's
it's
the
approach
that
we've
been
using.
No,
no,
that.
F
The
approach
the
calculation
would
be
the
total
area
of
the
site
of
the
portion
of
the
site
that
you're
using,
which
is
approximately
one
third
of
the
full,
so
there's
the
full
site
and
then
there's
the
portion
that
you're
using
and
then
you
divide
that
by
five
hundred
and
that's
the
number
of
trees.
That
is
the
maximum
number
we
would
require
and
where
those
are
placed
it
doesn't
matter.
As
far
as
I
know,
okay,.
N
So
so,
if
I,
if
I
hear
you
correctly,
this
is
an
aspirational.
We
are
fully
committed
to
working
with
staff
and
we'll
try
to
maximize
what
we
can.
But
I
want
to
be
clear
that
we've
exhausted
our
options.
We're
are
going
to
also
be
adding
somewhere
in
the
range
of
50
to
60
additional
arborvitaes
shrubs
in
this
landscaped
area.
F
N
H
F
O
Commissioners,
we
do
work
cooperatively
with
park
board
staff
on
things
like
preliminary
development
review,
so
I'm,
confident
that
you
know
we're
not
asking
them
to
take
a
formal
action
of
some
sort
or
delegating
our
authority
in
any
way
to
them.
I
think
it.
The
spirit
of
the
condition
is
to
work
cooperatively
with
them,
which
I'm
sure
we
can
do.
Thank.
H
A
O
A
P
Q
Thank
you.
So
if
we
just
want
to
talk
about
that
particular
condition
and
I
can
show
a
rendering,
so
the
the
site
is
located.
The
northeast
corner
of
Franklin
and
park.
Q
So
here's
how
the
building
is
set
on
the
site
and
you
can
sort
of
see
it
in
the
top
image.
This
is
the
view
from
you
know,
looking
northeast
at
the
center
of
the
intersection,
so
the
the
the
as
part
of
the
reduced
yards,
the
request
reduced
the
required
yards
along
the
West
elevation
and
the
South
elevation
staff
is
recommending
a
mitigating
condition
of
approval
to
open
up
the
corner
a
little
bit
in
in
since
the
initial
Landy's
applications.
The
middle.
Q
The
applicant
has
revised
their
floor
plans
so
that
they're,
the
ones
that
you
see
right
now
are
the
ones
that
they
are
submitting,
but
they're
putting
an
exercise
room
at
that
corner,
so
staff
is
recommending
a
condition
to
just
get
some
more
windows
and
active,
just
active
functions.
There's
also
a
request
to
have
alternative
compliance
for
the
minimum
ground
floor,
active
functions
requirement
along
Franklin,
and
so
that's
the
South
image.
So
more
than
there's
about
forty
five
percent
of
it
is
active,
whereas
the
requirement
is
seventy
percent.
Q
So
also
as
part
of
that
request,
staff
is
recommending
additional
window
area
in
the
South
and
West
elevation
is
particularly
at
that
corner
and,
as
you
mentioned,
Commissioner
cons
are
that
there
is
a
accessible
ramp
in
the
required
front
yard,
and
if
they
are
able
to
comply
with
the
handrail
height
requirement,
then
it
would
be
considered
a
permitted
obstruction.
You.
E
P
E
Yeah
so
I
guess
in
the
rendering
you
can
see
it
here,
a
little
bit.
I
think
the
first
slide
well.
P
L
Q
A
R
D
I
question
too
about
the
garage
access,
given
the
setback,
variance
request
along
Park,
whether
or
not
there's
room
for
automobiles
to
actually
exit
without
hitting
scene
pedestrians
before
they
hit
them
really
because
it
seems
awfully
close
to
the
sidewalk.
It
doesn't
seem
like
there's
enough
room
for
stacking
to
occur,
so
I
it's
hard
to
tell
on
the
plan
how
much
space
they
actually
had
before
the
sidewalk,
given
their
request
for
the
setback.
M
Q
D
That
a
planter
like
a
Boulevard,
as
this,
though,
is
a
sidewalk
and
cleaning
up
plantings
on
adjacent
to
the
structure
as
well
as
to
the
street.
So
that's
what
it
looks
like
that
and
then
it
can.
You
see
past
a
transformer.
For
example,
if
you
were
heading
westbound
on
park
before
this,
will
a
car
be
able
to
see
a
person
given
the
fact
that
it's
right
across
from
Allah
and
I
forget
the
name
of
the
facility
that
but
it's
a
lot
of
people
who
have
sight
impairment.
S
Q
Q
A
A
A
S
We're
just
trying
to
show
the
idea
of
the
corner,
so
the
request
from
the
staff
came
in
and
we
cannot
rush
to
address
the
creation
of
a
fitness
center
in
the
corner.
But,
yes,
the
whole
process.
We
rendering
the
whole
building
and
the
creating
all
the
exhibits
did
not
happen
because
we
had
a
quick
turnaround,
but
the
idea
is
to
increase
the
size
of
the
windows
in
that
corner
and
the
ironing
the
metal
awning
would
be
only
emphasizing
that
corner.
So
answering
your
questions
from
earlier.
We
are
not
intending
to
cover.
P
P
You
I
guess
I'm
struggling
with.
Why
wouldn't
you
but
I
cannot
be
covering
the
wheelchair
ramp
up
to
the
main
insurance.
You
know
it's
an
architecture
element,
but
there
is
actually
a
pretty
good
function
for
a
canopy.
If
it's,
if
it's
over
a
wheelchair
ramp
so
I
have
you
have
you
thought
about
extending
that
to
the
door
we.
S
Have
not
because
the
first
request
we
received
was
more
to
create
a
presence,
a
stronger
presence
in
the
corner,
so
we
thought
of
vertical
element
and
I
believe
the
canopy
in
the
parable
I
was
accessed
after
this
suggestion
that
we
create
some
kind
of
pergola
or
and
bigger
windows
in
the
corner.
So
our
original
intent
was
never
to
create
a
path
or
a
protected
weather.
Protected
path
to
the
door
was
always
to
create
something
bolder
in
the
corner.
A
T
All
right,
so
my
name
is
chancellor
I
live
at
xm25,
Park
Avenue,
it's
a
small
kind
of
Association,
just
about
half
a
block
north
of
the
proposed
development
site.
So,
first
of
all,
I'm
super
excited
I.
Think
having
the
new
develop
in
the
area
is
really
exciting
for
me
and
for
the
area
as
well,
but
my
concern
primarily
is
well
first
with
that
garage
space.
If
you
stand
out
by
Park
and
Franklin
uh-huh,
there's
really
not
much
leeway
to
get
out
into
the
street,
especially
during
the
rush
hour
time
period.
T
That's
a
pretty
rough
area
just
in
terms
of
traffic
and
I
know.
Right
now,
considering
the
Franklin
Bridge
is
closes.
One
of
the
things
that
I'm
thinking
of
but
adding
20
cars
coming
in
and
out
is
gonna
create
a
lot
of
difficulty
but
I
to
speak
on
kind
of
the
retail
spaces.
What
my
big
passion
is
is
down
the
street.
There
are
some
commercial
facilities
or
retail
facilities,
and
it's
really
important
to
me
that
we
have
more
retail
space
in
that
area.
I
think
it's
one
of
the
first.
T
This
is
one
of
the
first
Newark
builds.
That's
going
home
in
the
area
in
quite
a
while,
and
to
have
a
retail
presence
is
something
that's
super
important
to
me
and
kind
of
as
the
area
continues
to
grow
and
develop
without
that
retail
space
I
think
allows
the
area
to
be
more
usable
for
people
without
cars,
and
that's
something
that
I'm
passionate
about
is
making
sure
that
that
space
is
usable
for
people
who
don't
have
vehicles
and
retail
space
in
that
area
makes
it
more
walkable
and
walkability
is
something.
T
That's
super
important
to
me
in
terms
of
the
setback
that
was
brought
up.
I
have
no
issue
with
the
building.
That's
right
against
this.
With
this,
the
sidewalk
just
retail
space,
and
then
more
parking
would
be
great,
but
I.
Guess
I
can't
have
everything
on
my
wish
list.
I'm,
just
keeping
in
mind
that
Park
and
Franklin
that
intersection
gets
super
duper
busy
and
having
a
garage
right
right.
T
U
U
E
U
R
Name
is
Cecil
Smith
I
live
at
1331
Washington
Street
northeast
I
serve
on
the
board
of
insurer
village,
where
this
project
is
located
and
the
crime
and
safety
chair
they
also
participate
in
the
housing
and
land
use
committee
for
the
neighborhood
I
want
to
speak
in
support
of
the
project.
The
developers
came
to
us
at
the
end
of
last
year
before
they
had
any
real
renderings
drawings
to
ask
for
neighborhood
input.
R
We
really
need
safety
through
Environmental
Design
in
our
community.
This
project
is
right
across
the
street,
from
our
brand-new
basketball
courts
and
PV
Park
PV
Park.
If
you
look
at
any
crime
heatmap
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
especially
the
third
Precinct,
that
has
one
of
the
highest
levels
of
police
responses,
we've
had
drive-by
shootings
at
the
basketball
courts
and
we
need
the
space
activated
and
we
need
eyes
on
this
street
corner
and
on
our
path
to
keep
it
safe.
This
project
provides
for
them.
R
Subsidized
housing
in
our
community
and
we
have
a
pattern
of
subsidized
housing,
but
this
is
a
housing
project
that
has,
as
the
developers
call
it
attainable
housing
and
there
are
no
subsidies
and
part
of
the
reason
why
this
project
works
because
of
the
building
technology.
That's
been
utilized
in
this
project
and
so
I
would
urge
support
of
this
project
because
we
need
this
kind
of
housing.
In
fact,
we
need
this
kind
of
housing
at
scale
and
in
a
state.
R
I
just
recently
concluded
service
on
the
governor's
housing
task
force,
and
this
project
was
profiled,
because
this
is
the
kind
of
building
innovation
and
development
cycle
that
makes
for
attainable
housing
in
our
community
that
we
really
need
on
scale
which,
as
it
goes
beyond
what
the
public
purse
can
provide,
what
we
can
do
with
private
investment
dollars
and
that's
what's
coming
into
our
neighborhood
and
we're
excited
to
see
there.
So
I
would
caution
about
a
retail,
wheelhead,
unoccupied
retail
space.
R
B
Name
is
Bill:
English
I
represent
the
North
job
creation
team,
the
owner
of
this
project,
which
unfortunately,
could
not
be
here
today.
It's
a
significant
individual
and
there's
some
parallel
stories
that
this
commission
needs
to
hear.
As
you
consider
this
project
dawna
is
a
man
named
to
see
the
tufa
who
came
where
was
a
naturalized
citizen,
Christian
citizen,
from
Ethiopia.
B
In
a
year
and
a
half
ago
at
forty
six,
forty
Lindale
North,
he
took
an
old,
dilapidated
facility
and
created
it
invested
over
a
million
dollars
to
create
a
swath
of
the
land
and
to
create
a
beautiful
building
where
it
was
a
dump
before,
but
more
importantly,
that
he
created
70
living
wage
jobs
with
benefits
mostly
for
single
female
heads
of
household,
many
of
whom
are
women
of
color.
The
gold
of
the
North
job
creation
team
is
to
bring
a
thousand
living
wage
jobs
with
benefits
to
North
Minneapolis.
B
This
gentleman
has
created
seventy
and
is
in
the
process
of
trying
to
bring
200
more
and
was
recently
being
recommended
by
Hennepin
County
staff
to
purchase
a
site
at
37th
and
University,
where
he
will
build
a
state-of-the-art
facility
garage
and
add
over
250
living
wage
jobs
and
benefits.
He
currently
employs
over
80
people
from
the
five
North
Pinellas.
If
codes
were
of
the
highest
level
of
unemployment
income
in
the
country
in
the
in
the
country,
let
me
be
specifically
marked
for
these
stores
parallel
his
teachers
as
a
developer.
B
As
a
member
of
the
North
job
nation
team,
the
Thor
companies
has
been
there
since
our
beginning
four
years
ago.
During
that
period
of
time,
we
brought
over
700
living
wage
jobs
and
benefits
to
Minneapolis.
We
didn't
create
them
all,
but
we
stimulated
many
of
those,
including
the
location
of
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
headquarters,
of
which
I
personally
led
that
battle
to
get
those
those
jobs.
They
now
have
over
300
people
from
North
Minneapolis,
zip
codes.
So
we're
talking
about
a
significant
impact
and
to
people
of
color
one.
B
The
developer,
who
just
invested
over
37
million
dollars
at
the
corner
of
Plymouth
and
pin
mr.
Teufel,
wants
to
create
housing
for
his
employees.
I
brought
the
term
attainable
housing
here
from
San
Diego
and
visit
there.
So
this
is
joseph.
The
term
attainable.
Housing
is
one
that
means
workers
who
make
the
kind
of
income
living
wages.
He
now
is
almost
being
priced
out
of
the
minneapolis
market.
This
and
the
salaries
he
played
will
allow
him
to
house
many
of
his
employees
and
employ
other
people
in
the
city.
Sir.
B
Urge
you
to
consider
the
uniqueness
of
this
project
in
the
context
that
you
have
to
minority-owned
companies
coming
together
as
partners
on
two
major
projects
that
not
only
would
provide
attainable
housing
but
will
also
provide
housing
for
people
that
need
jobs
in
or
near
their
living
community,
and
that
includes
the
area
south
of
downtown
Minneapolis.
Thank
you
all
right.
E
A
Would
like
to
speak,
see
no
and
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
commissioners.
We
have
several
applications
before
us
total
of
six.
There
are
any
further
questions,
or
would
someone
like
to
start
things
off
with
emotion
and
I
just
ask
the
applicant,
since
we
did
get
a
question
about
the
affordability
or
price
point
of
these
units,
would
you
be
able
to
kind
of
speak
to
that?
What
what
demographic
or
income
level
are
these
units
here
toward.
C
F
Rock
well
well.
Well,
we
have
a
question
just
because
we
got
a
question
on
entrances
and
exits
to
the
parking
it.
It
seems
like
there
might
be
a
discrepancy
again
between
the
engineering
drawings
and
that
elevations.
Is
there
one
entrance
into
the
parking
garage
off
of
Franklin,
or
is
there
also
an
entrance
off
the
North
elevation?
It's.
C
C
D
So
my
question
is
still
about
and
I
apologized
to
the
procurement
Franklin,
the
drive
I'll,
the
exiting
from
the
parking
along
Franklin
Avenue,
given
the
fact
that
it's
four
and
a
half
feet
from
the
sidewalk
and
that's
the
front
of
a
car
like
you,
won't
even
exit
the
garage
as
a
person
until
your
car
is
already
in
the
sidewalk.
And
you
end
the
addition
of
the
transformer
in
that
location.
D
Can
you
explain
a
little
bit
about
if
you
guys
looked
at
any
of
those
sort
of
studies
to
see
whether
pedestrian
environment
in
realm
is
going
to
be
impacted,
because
I
can't
help
but
think
that
a
car
trying
to
get
out
on
a
franklin
during
rush
hour
is
going
to
be
sitting
blocking
the
entire
sidewalk
and
and
also
going
out
and
not
even
seeing
a
person
or
a
child
before
they
can
even
get
out
of
the
garage?
So.
S
For
the
transformer
in
last
iteration
since
last
week
for
the
civil
drawings,
we
did
remove
the
transformer
from
that
location.
So
there'll
be
a
clearer
view
on
that
way
and
we
are
creating,
of
course,
that
is
the
the
mirrors
that
we
can
put
in
there.
So
it
will
snow
in
New,
York
coming
living
some
kind
of
alarm
or
in
will
new
coming
in
another.
We
had
that
thought
through.
S
If
you're
driving
and
trying
to
turn
left,
we
could
not
potentially
have
a
podium
with
the
car
either,
because
then
you
not
have
enough
time
to
open
the
door.
So
that's
why
we
are
creating.
The
arrangements
would
be
only
with
the
remote
control,
so
you
can
from
far
away
open
the
door
and
the
door
won't
close
until
you
pass
through.
So
then
you
would
have
enough
time
to
wait
for
pedestrian.
Wait
for
the
cars,
make
your
turn
without
having
to
rush,
and
then
the
car
the
door
would
come
down
and.
D
S

P
P
I'm
so
conditioned
to
get
modified
to
state.
The
West
elevation
shall
be
revised
to
accommodate
an
additional
40
square.
Sweet
40
square
feet
of
window
focused
at
the
southwest
corner
with
lower
window
sills
and
the
third
condition
to
be
modified
to
state.
The
awning
shall
be
metal
to
create
full
weather
protection
and
be
extended
to
the
north
side
of
the
main
entry.
A
P
R
A
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
item
B,
the
variance
for
the
front
yard
requirement
align
Park
Avenue
with
the
three
stated
conditions
couple
of
modifications,
one
to
condition
two:
that
the
west
elevation
has
revised
to
a
comedy,
an
additional
40
square
feet
of
window
area
southwest
corner
dish;
number
three,
that
the
awning
shall
be
metal
to
create
full
weather
protection
and
be
extended
to
Commissioner
crimes.
I.
P
Really
like
the
way
this
projects
evolved,
a
we
saw
that
community
the
whole
quite
a
while
ago,
and
then
you
know
I
think
we
all
expressed
a
little
concern
about
the
design
of
the
building
I,
think
it
really
evolved.
You
know
my
additions
to
these
conditions
are
really
about
the
safety
aspect
of
making
that
corner
more
open.
Creating
some
weather
protection
along
the
the
wheelchair-accessible
rap
route
is
I.
Think
pretty
reasonable
and
I.
Think
I
look
forward
to
having
this
project
built
on
this
corner.

Good
evening,
commissioners,
the
project
before
you
is
a
proposal
at
23:23,
Jackson,
Street,
northeast
you'll,
see
on
the
current
zoning
map
that
the
property
is
currently
zoned
for
the
r4
district.
The
site
is
currently
a
vacant
lots.
The
applicant
is
applying
to
rezone
the
lot
from
our
four
to
r5.
They
are
seeking
several
yard
variances
and
a
variance
to
the
maximum
lot
coverage
to
construct
a
new
four-story
65
unit,
residential
building
on
the
property.
I
The
proposal
includes
one
level
of
enclosed
parking
that
is
accessed
off
of
a
public
alley
on
the
south
end
of
the
site
and
the
remainder
of
the
ground
floor
level
facing
both
Jackson
Street
and
24th.
Avenue
are
lined
with
active
residential
units,
including
walk-up
residential
units
and
residential
amenity
space.
I
The
central
and
Lowery
activity
center,
and
also
within
the
Central
Avenue
pedestrian
oriented
overlay
district
and,
as
you
know,
you
are
familiar.
The
the
PIO
generally
calls
for
more
urban
condition
in
terms
of
the
building
wall
not
being
located
more
than
eight
feet
from
the
property
line.
So
staff
felt
that
those
variances
were
supportable
based
on
those
two
conditions.
C
V
V
V
So
understandably
so
in
that,
in
that
area
of
concern,
we're
looking
to
include
green
roof
on
that
lower
roof
above
the
area
to
the
just
to
the
east
of
the
four-story
portion,
which
is
what
you
can
see,
which
is
about
an
austere
quarter
of
the
building,
I
guess
and
the
idea
there
being.
Obviously,
we
get
some
visual
and
benefits
for
both
neighboring
buildings,
as
well
as
our
own
residents,
as
well
as
some
stormwater
capability
of
some
storage,
as
well
as
sort
of
delayed
release
from.
V
Let's
see
just
a
brief
overview
of
the
elevations
you've,
probably
reviewed
them
already,
fibre
cement,
brick,
obviously,
glass
windows
and
some
metal
panel
are
being
used
with
the
two
street
sides
having
walk-up
units
and
covered
areas,
as
well
as
planters
out
in
front
of
grade
a
give
a
rhythm
to
that
street
scape
as
well
as
to
provide
obviously
a
flexibility
for
those
those
people
using
those
homes
for
getting
out
and
in
in
easier
as
well.
As
you
know,
better
better
view
of
the
street
and
I
think
that's
sort
of
the
highlights.
A
T
T
After
our
last
meeting
out,
say
we
made
some
substantial
changes.
That's
now
incorporated
in
the
packet
that
you
have
before
you
and
that
kind
of
stemmed
from
three
major
points:
one
stormwater
to
parking
and
three
art.
So
what
we
did
since
that
last
meeting
is
we
incorporated
into
makerspace
so
from
what
I
can
find?
Where
probably
we
are
the
first
market
rate
apartment
that
we'll
have
that's
chosen
to
provide
a
maker
space
or
art
space
and
a
gallery
within
the
building?
So
this
does
a
few
things
that
have
worked
great
apartment,
one.
T
It
does
for
affordability
and
provide
or
add
to
the
fabric
of
northeast
being
an
arts
district.
So
for
those
that
can't
afford
have
their
own
space
to
make
art
or
to
keep
their
supplies
that
do
work,
full-time
jobs.
We
have
something
on
site
that
allows
them
to
go
store
their
art
materials
it'll,
be
really
focused
towards
pottery,
small
sculpture,
drawing
painting
and
that
sort
of
thing,
so
that's
a
huge
amenity
one
for
our
building
and
then
also
adding
to
the
neighborhood.
T
T
E
T
C
T
And
then,
on
the
art
side,
we
are,
as
you
can
see,
there's
a
whole
list
of
items
that
mobile
you'll
both
be
commissioning
and
working
with
local
artists
in
the
neighborhood.
We
started
that
to
be
the
trellises
in
the
public
realm
that
go
into
individual
housing
units.
Those
will
be
done
by
local
artists
will
commissioned
both.
You
know
and
painted
tiles
like
go
in
the
community
room,
the
artwork,
sculpture
and
furniture
will
all
be
done
locally
to
kind
of
bring
that
sense
of
art
in
the
Northeast
into
this
building.
M
T
As
being
the
owner
of
these
buildings
and
intended
owners,
it
is
one
something
we
provide
in.
Most
of
our
buildings
is
to
have
this
green
roof,
one
its
amenity
for
the
tenants
that
built
live
above
the
roof,
just
to
be
able
to
look
down
onto
a
green
space
rather
than
rock,
but
it
does
also
obviously
meet
the
the
stormwater
concern
on
the
neighborhood.
T
A
D
C
T
D
Then
the
last
thing
I
would
just
suggest
is
it'd,
be
interesting
to
see
kind
of
how
that
gets.
We
can
figure.
Just
some
I
think
it
would
be
in
your
best
interest
to
have
some
lockable
storage
areas
because
I
don't
know
yeah,
just
don't
to
always
have
to
bring
fragile
stuff
back
and
forth.
You
know
so
they
could
put
it
in
a
locked
space
without
having
to
worry
about
it,
disappear
and
getting
messed
with
right.
L
T
D
C
D
Things
they're
making
just
so
I'm
trying
to
think
of
how
people
actually
would
use
the
space
actually
making
an
active
corner
and
a
lot
of
artists.
I
know
it
would
be
where
they
would
want
to
keep
it
there.
So
she
Messier
things
and
fragile
things,
but
not
they
don't
have
to
rent
us
and
we're
like
they
won't
mind
sharing
over
the
space,
but
they
need
to
store
there.
T
A
W
S
W
Name
is
Jack
rivers,
I
live
at
2
3
to
6
Jackson,
so
that's
right
across
the
street,
I've
moved
in
there
in
2015,
so
over
three
years
ago
and
I
loved
the
area.
When
I
was
looking
for
a
house,
you
know
one
of
the
big
things
was
yeah.
I
wanted
to
be
in
Northeast,
but
I
didn't
want
to
be
on
a
busy
road.
So
when
I
found
this
house
there's
a
lot
of
things,
I
really
like
about
them,
they
wrote
it's
family-oriented.
W
It
is
actually
pretty
busy
for
being
a
side
street
off
of
central
which,
which
is
busy
street,
but
within
a
block
for
me,
there's
a
park,
a
church
next
door
through
a
daycare
which
is
great
and
there's
a
few
blocks
more
there's
high
school
and
about
a
block
and
a
half
one
of
the
busiest
parks
I've
ever
seen
really
awesome
park
on
Jackson.
So
there's
a
lot
of
children
around
and
right
now,
like
I
said,
I
was
looking
for
a
not
so
busy
of
an
area,
it's
already
pretty
busy.
W
So
my
my
big
concerns
are
we're
already
dealing
with
I
kinda
understand
density,
but
we
I
have
an
apartment
that
I
looked
at
from
my
house.
That's
right
behind
where
this
one
is
being
built.
Probably
it's
on
a
bigger
lot
and
we
get
tons
of
traffic
from
that
like
driving
and
parking.
It's
a
lot
of
times.
I
can't
find
a
parking
spot
in
front
of
my
house.
W
I
get
friends
are
coming
over
and
stuff
like
that,
so
I'm,
a
little
concerned
about
adding
a
apartment
that
is
going
to
have
I
I
was
trying
to
look
at
the
Central,
Ave
laughs.
I
think
they
had.
It
was
some
places
said:
60
16,
it's
I
looked
another
where
it
was
like
90,
but
this
one's
going
to
be
67
and
smaller
units
and
even
less
parking.
W
So
really,
those
are
my
main
concerns
and
one
thing
more
thing:
I'd
like
to
point
out:
okay,
look
that
where
are
the
other
apartments
in
the
area,
because
to
me
it
makes
sense
to
put
them
on
a
busy
street,
so
there's
about
seven
apartment
buildings
between
18th
and
Lowry.
Some
are
bigger
than
others,
but
those
are
all
either
on
central
or
on
Lowry,
which
are
busy
streets.
W
Besides,
the
Jackson
Street
flats,
which
is
subsidized
artist,
housing
with
pretty
big
rooms
like
800
square
feet
for
the
singles
and
I
believe
they
have
parking
too.
But
that's
just
one
other
thing:
I,
like
the
point
I
guess
I
want
to
make
sure
that
density
is
getting
put
in
the
right
area
and
that
we
already
do
have
a
lot
of
it.
So
alright,
that's
about
it.
Thank.
A
X
Hello,
my
name
is
Luciana
Carrasco
and
I
live
on
23:22
Jackson
Street
and
face
so
right
across
the
street,
from
there
next
door
to
my
neighbor
Jack
and
I've
owned
a
family
Chalker
home
Chalker
by
Spanish,
my
lingual
for
the
last
10
years.
Already,
as
he
mentioned,
it's
become
quite
busy
there
because
of
all
the
new
building
that
they
built
across
the
street
and
US
bank,
so
when
they
brought
out
the
fact
that
they
were
gonna
put
in
and
yet
another
building
I
was
like.
X
Oh
no,
because
it's
already
so
difficult
to
take
the
kids
on
walks
and
I
love,
taking
them
to
Jackson
Square
Park
I,
also
love
taking
them
to
the
library
and
I
love.
The
fact
that
you
know
you
can
walk
down
Jackson
Street
and
avoid
central
to
get
to
those
places.
But
if
now
we
had
a
67
unit
building
across
from
us.
That
would
change
that
and
then
I'm
also
worried
about
the
parking
already
like
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
going
into
the
alleys
for
the
other
small
businesses
that
are
around
another
point.
X
X
It's
also
going
to
probably
affect
some
of
the
other
businesses
on
Central,
Avenue,
so
again,
I
understand
when
you're
done
city
and
to
provide
more
housing,
but
Jackson
streets,
not
central,
and
if
we
do
if
this
project
goes
on,
we're
just
gonna
have
like
it's
gonna,
be
like
apartment
buildings
in
front
of
our
house,
and
we
might
also
lose
our
privacy
in
our
yard
if
it
goes
out
as
high
as
they're
saying
it
will
so
I
like
for
those
things
to
be
considered
just
to
keep
like
the
neighborhood.
What
it
is.
Thank
you
thank
you.
Y
In
the
neighborhood
studies
it
was
recommended
to
have
far
lower
density
than
this
fourth
storey.
Building
now
I
know
that
they
are
trying
to
work
and
and
work
with
the
neighbors,
but
I
wish
they
had
done
so
before
they
went
ahead
with
developing
a
lot
of
plans
because
we
weren't
it
was
kind
of
a
surprise.
So
all
of
a
sudden
have
is
there
I'm
also
concerned
with
parking
on
24th
bright
in
front
of
our
right
north
of
the
development
unit.
Y
There's
parking
only
on
one
side
of
the
street
because
the
streets
are
so
narrow,
I,
like
I,
say
it.
My
parking
and
all
these
people
have
parking
driveways
that
go
on
to
Jack
son
the
parking
there.
If
you
have
two
sides
of
parking,
you
can't
have
traffic
going
both
ways.
People
pull
over
a
little
bit
to
let
people
through
and
if
I
come
out
of
my
driveway
twice
I've
almost
been
side
side
run
into
by
someone,
because
you
can't
see
they
park
very
close
to
the
driveways.
Y
Y
22Nd
by
it's
a
library
if
you
are
going
and
they
are
parking
both
sides
of
the
streets
there,
if
you
go
out
and
you
want
to
go
down
the
street
and
someone
is
coming
this
way-
you
don't
go
out
there-
you
cannot
both
get
through
with
the
parking
on
the
street.
I
I
am
wanting
to
personally
try
to
get
rid
of
parking
on
one
side
of
the
street
on
24th,
because
it
is
so
dangerous
that
would
make
the
driving
a
little
bit
better
on
that
block.
Y
But
it's
all
over
the
neighborhood
and
putting
in
a
unit
like
this
I
I
know
they
have
slightly
increased
the
parking
their
partners
in
issue,
they've
slightly
increased
it,
but
people
aren't
going
to
own
cars
and
if
they
don't
they're,
going
to
have
visitors,
they're
going
to
have
people
coming
to
visit,
who
will
be
looking
for
parking
and
who
will
be
looking
for
street
parking?
There
is
just
a
better
place
to
put
cuz
a
construction
like
this.
Maybe
even
not
have
it
four
stories
out,
although
then
that
makes
it
less
monetarily
feasible.
Y
Y
There's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
artists
that
won't
be
able
to
afford
going
in
there,
because
just
as
well
will
live
farther
down
by
down
down.
Were
the
big
arts
district
is
our
telephone
by
California,
where
there
is
a
lot
of
housing,
not
high,
cheaper
housing
and
that's
not
same
traffic
and
not
the
same
kids,
not
the
same
foot
traffic,
not
the
same
parades
on
Central,
not
the
same
traffic
issues
on
Central,
and
it
is
just
a
misplaced
construction,
beautiful
as
it
is.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Z
Just
coming
from
my
own
personal
perspective,
I'm
just
really
wondering
if
this
is
the
right
site
and
the
right
project
for
a
demonstration
project
like
this
or
like
that,
like
that
kind
of
suggests
and
professionally
I
come
at
this
from
a
climate
action
perspective.
The
building
I
asked
a
lot
of
questions
that
the
neighborhood
meeting
the
building
does
not
have
any
documents
and
measurable
goals
for
improvement
or
reduction
on
energy
use.
I
work
in
past
the
post,
architects.
We
do
both
consulting
in
architecture
for
these
types
of
buildings.
Z
They
did
it
assure
us
just
that
they
were
engaging
in
conversations
about
energy
use,
modeling
and
it
just
didn't
seem
to
have
a
lot
of
teeth.
I
would
advocate
at
both
as
a
resident
and
as
a
professional
that,
if
we're
going
to
approve
not
just
one
but
multiple
variances
for
a
project,
especially
one
that
the
neighborhood
really
doesn't
support
the
neighborhood
residents,
the
project
and
the
team
behind
the
project
is
gonna
have
to
give
a
lot
more
than
what
this
project
gives.

The
neighborhood,
that's
just
my
personal
opinion,
but
the
the
fact
that
they
don't
have
particularly
don't
have
any
energy
use
reduction
goals
that
are
measurable,
such
as
striving
to
achieve
achieve
a
passive,
a
standard
for
the
building
or
some
other
rigorous
target.
It
means
that
the
building
doesn't
meet.
Minneapolis
has
own
climate
action
goals,
and
so
I
would
suggest
that
the
city
then
shouldn't
support
it
and
then,
in
addition
to
all
of
the
other
concerns
that
the
that
my
neighbors
have
had,
it
just
seems
like
at
a
minimum.

2318
Jackson
Street
have
lived
there
for
thirty
years.
Originally,
when
the
u.s.
Bank
building
did
go
up
there
Sherman
and
associates
the
colony
burn.
I
guess
supported
it
with
the
agreement
that
the
townhomes
would
go
there
and
I
just
feel
like
we
keep
getting
the
rug
pulled
out
from
under
us
by
either
a
developer
or
someone
says
they're
going
to
do
this
and
then
it
turns
around
I
understand
the
housing
bubble
that
went
on,
but
the
traffic,
and
there
are
two
duplexes
across
the
street
owner-occupied,
but
they
there
is
no
driveway
or
alley
there.
AA
I
mean
through
no
fault
are
there
I
mean
there's
an
alley
in
the
back,
but
they
have
no
parking
and
they
all
do
own
cars,
and
it
is
really
getting
to
be
amazing.
It's
airy,
the
back
out
of
my
driveway
I,
have
had
to
call
and
had
cars
towed
out
of
my
driveway
because
they
park
across
it
three
times.
I
mean
it's,
it's
insane,
I
would
love
to
have
more.
You
know
density
like
she
said,
but
is
there
a
law
that
or
a
rule
that
states
in
the
city
it
has
to
be
for
the
minimum?
AA
A

AA
AA
Now
it
is
seriously
Dave
does
to
make
a
turn
on
24th
because
you
only
have
so
far
to
swing
and
they
have
they
allow
parking
right
there
and
you're
barely
able
to
put
two
cars
there
and
that's
my
experience
in
the
30
years,
I've
been
there
and
I
just
I'm
afraid,
like
I,
said
to
get
the
rug
pulled
up
from
us
one
more
time
that
something's
gonna
go
up
and
everybody
walks
away
and
we're
left
with
another
crazy
mess
and
I
hope.
You
would
consider
that
and
I
appreciate
this.
Thank.

I'll
just
add
you
know
going
from
our
for
tie
are
five
at
this
location.
I
think
is
reasonable.
There's
our
five
zoning
directly
adjacent
to
it.
Both
zoning
districts
really
allow
similar
things.
I
know
we
heard
from
a
number
of
speakers.
The
initial
desire
to
have
townhomes
at
this
location
and
I
realized
that
the
neighbourhoods
plan
and
some
other
planning
documents
may
be
suggested
that
the
developer
of
the
u.s.
A
Bank
site
had
proposed
that,
in
the
longer
term,
obviously,
that
housing
market
has
evolved
a
little
bit
and
I
think
we
don't
see
a
lot
in
the
way
of
townhome
density
projects
anymore
and
both
r5
r4
and
r5,
allow
for
both
townhomes
and
and
a
multi-story
apartment
building.
So
I
think
with
the
findings
that
staff
outlined
we
can
support
this.
Is
there
any
further.
A
M
A
D
Will
keep
I
have
a
question
for
staff
Peter,
just
real
quick.
Just
because
a
lot
of
the
comments
we
heard
today
were
related
to
parking.
Can
you
just?
It
would
appear
to
me,
there's
no
variance
for
the
parking
requirement,
so
I
assume
that
this
needs
a
project
is
meeting
the
minimum
parking
required
by
the
city.
For
this
that's.
I
D
D
Okay,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
that
I'll
be
supporting
the
variances,
if
only
because,
if
they
weren't
supported,
we
would
not
actually
be
able
to
accommodate
the
amount
of
parking
that
the
site
is
providing
for
the
tenants,
and
since
that
is
a
major
concern.
Shrinking
the
building
footprint
would
actually
put
more
cars
on
the
street
where
there
appears
to
not
be
enough
room
for
them
already
so
unfortunate.
A
O

Wanted
to
touch
on
front
to
broadly,
you
know,
I
think
this
is
an
area
near
a
high
frequency
transit
line
that
is
important
to
have
development
there
and
you're
a
lot
of
walkable
amenities.
I
agree
with
the
comments
on
on
greater
climate
matters
steps,
but
we
don't
have
a
structure
right
now
in
which
we
have
sufficient
authority
to
mandate
that
I'm
talking
about
that
in
the
redrafting
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
But
we
don't
have
that
authority
right
now,
and
so
it's
not
something
we
can't
ask
for,
but
I
agree.
