C
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
again
Mike
Kennedy
and
the
director
of
transportation
maintenance
repair
for
Public
Works
on
October
31st
2017,
a
private
utility
company
working
at
sixth
Street
in
Marquette
in
front
of
the
Wells
Fargo
Center.
Formerly
the
Northwest
Center,
is
shown
on
the
diagram
here
whose
property
address
is
97th.
Street
South
discovered
a
void
under
6th
Street
adjacent
to
the
properties
underground
garage,
the
utility
company
notified
Public
Works
staff
who
investigated
the
void,
miss
Lloyd,
ran
under
and
parallel
to
the
curb
and
gutter
and
was
immediately
adjacent
to
the
property's
basement
wall.
C
The
void
was
photographed
and
shown
to
the
property's
representatives,
Hinds
Management
Company
on
may
2nd
2019
during
that
and
during
the
time
Public,
Works
and
Hines
were
discussed
in
this
situation.
The
curb
and
pavement
collapse
at
the
location
of
the
void
traffic
control
was
ordered
in
vehicles
and
buses
needed
to
be
routed
around
the
collapse
area.
C
While
a
solution
could
be
determined
the
existence
of
the
void
and
resulting
Street
failure
represented
a
serious
nuisance,
condition
requiring
immediate
attention
upon
initial
discovery
of
the
underground
void,
Public
Works,
hired
a
professional
geotechnical,
firm,
American
engineering
and
testing
or
eet
to
investigate
and
determine
the
cause
of
the
void
and
collapse.
He
worked
closely
with
city
staff
during
the
removal
of
the
failed
pavement
and
excavation
work
and
based
upon
its
investigation.
C
It
was
a
et's
professional
opinion
that
the
cause
of
the
voids
was
due
to
ramifications
resulting
from
an
earth
retention
system
used
for
the
original
construction
of
Northwest
Center.
Now
Wells
Fargo
Center
on
the
property.
This
earth
retention
system
was
abandoned
and
left
in
place
within
the
right
away.
At
the
request
of
the
property's
original
owner
research
into
city
building
records
confirmed
that
a
right
of
way,
encroachment
permit
was
granted
on
August
8
1986
to
install
an
earth
retention
system
for
the
construction
of
the
North
norwest
Center
and
the
encroachment
permit
reflects
the
property
owners.
C
Legal
responsibilities
rotated
the
related
to
the
earth
retention
system,
and
these
include
any
potential
damages
associated
with
the
existence
of
the
earth
retention
system
in
the
right-of-way.
Hyeon's
was
provided
an
opportunity
to
perform
its
own
investigation
and
to
make
the
necessary
repairs
to
the
right-of-way.
Hines
ultimately
took
the
position
that
the
void
was
caused
by
previous
underground
utility
work
and
was
not
the
responsibility
of
the
property.
C
Public
Works
advised
Hines
that
the
city
would
move
forward
and
make
necessary
repairs
and
that
all
costs
associated
with
this
work
would
be
pursued
in
the
form
of
an
assessment
against
the
property.
The
city's
work
was
associated
with
and
benefited
the
property.
The
proposed
total
assessment
for
97th
Street
South
is
sixty
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty
one
dollars
and
staff
is
requesting
approval
of
the
assessment
against
the
property.
C
So
today
our
recommendation
is
passage
of
resolution
adopting
the
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
sixty
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty
one
dollars
for
street
repairs
adjacent
to
the
property
at
90,
South,
seventh,
Street,
not
occupied
by
Wells
Fargo
and
passage
of
resolution,
requesting
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
authorized.
The
city's
issuance
and
sale
of
the
assessment
bonds
and
set
amount,
so
that
is
my
presentation.
I'd,
be
happy
to
take
questions
if
needed
are.
A
There
any
questions
per
the
staff
presentation
seeing
none
I
will
then
open
the
public
hearing,
and
this
is
again
is
public
hearing
item
1
on
the
agenda
we
do
have.
People
who
signed
in
I
will
take
them
in
order,
starting
with
Carol
Lansing.
Please
come
forward
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
D
Good
morning,
council
members
and
Carol
Lansing
I'm
an
attorney
at
FEGLI
Baker
Daniel's
2200,
Wells,
Fargo,
Center,
90,
South,
7th
Street
right
outside
of
where
this
occurred.
I
am
representing
the
property
owner
and
the
management
company
Heinz
and
with
me
also
signed
up
today,
is
Ray
Huber,
who
is
a
professional
engineer
with
Braun
Intertek.
D
The
basis
for
this
proposed
special
assessment
is
different
than
you
usually
encounter.
This
isn't
a
project,
that's
a
routine
road
improvement
and
there's
tried-and-true
formulas
for
determining
how
much
you're
going
to
assess
property
owners
adjacent
to
the
street.
This
assessment
is
based
on
a
premise
that
the
street
damage
was
caused
by
some
condition
of
the
encroachment
this
underground
area.
That's
part
of
the
Wells
Fargo
building.
In
order
for
you
to
make
that
conclusion,
you
need
to
have
facts
on
the
record
to
support
it
and
there
aren't
any
AET
isn't
here.
D
They
don't
have
a
report
in
front
of
you
there's
a
statement
in
the
see
a
of
what
their
conclusion
was,
and
the
burden
of
proof
should
be
on
the
city
staff
at
this
point
to
make
that
record
and
to
prove
that
there's
a
relationship
between
that
damage
and
not
just
speculate
that
it's
related
to
the
building.
We
do
have
mr.
Hoover
here
to
go
through
his
observations.
He
did
go
to
the
site
he
did
observe.
D
A
E
Good
morning,
I'm
rebirth
brought
Intertek
a
geotechnical
engineer.
I've
been
working
with
Heinz,
looking
at
what
the
settlement
issues
along
6th
Street
associated
what
80
and
the
city
seen
is
reflected
to
the
retention
system,
which
is
a
one-sided
wall.
I
have
been
involved
with
the
number
of
one-sided
walls
and
City
Minneapolis,
and
my
company
has
designed
a
number
more
than
a
dozen
of
them
across
the
Upper
Midwest
and
we've
never
heard
of
an
issue,
a
settlement,
constant
street
settlement
due
to
one
sided
wall
based
there,
the
city
opened
up,
and
we
looked
at.
E
If
you
know
there's
anything
condos
did
the
wall
rot
away
or
watchful.
We
hope
City
opened
it
up
there
to
test
that
we
went
on.
We
saw
the
soldier
beams,
which
supports
a
retention
system.
We
saw
the
wooden
leg
and
still
in
place,
so
there's
no
loss
of
a
material
in
in
that
system.
So
cons
of
settlement
from
that
from
the
retention
system
seems
unreasonable,
in
my
opinion,
I
seen
in
one-sided
walls
times
where
there's
some
loss
of
ground
when
they're
building
the
building.
E
This
is
back
to
about
1990
when
they're
driving
those
eight
pounds
and
they
put
two
were
laggy.
Then
there
can
be
some
loss
of
ground
from
sand
that
comes
between
the
would
lagging
when
they're
building
that,
but
that
would
happen.
You
know
that
was
30
years
ago
and
some
of
that
sell
that
would
have
occurred,
especially
when
they're
building
the
building
over
a
two-year
period.
Mohsen
settlement
occurred,
so
I
just
can't
see
its
associated
with
the
one-sided
wall
that
was
built
for
the
basement
of
Wells
Fargo.
E
So
my
opinion
is
that
industry
trees
utilities
being
put
in
the
street
all
the
time.
It's
in
a
urban
field,
the
most
utilities
in
Upper
10
feet
and
ascended
up
what
we
call
urban
feel
it's
a
real
fine-grained
silty
sand
with
some
debris
common
throughout
the
Twin
Cities
Minneapolis
area.
It's
very
hard
impact
you
have
to
put
in
small,
lift
and
I
would
think
some
of
the
heaviness
is
the
settlement
of
these
utilities
over
a
period
of
time.
So
that
was
my
thoughts
and
open
up
to
questions.
I.
A
A
Does
anyone
wish
to
come
forward?
See
none
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
I
will
note
before
we
get
into
further
discussion
committee
members
wish
that
this
is
an
assessment,
though
that
has
unique
characteristics
before
us,
but
the
action
before
us
as
a
matter
of
committee
work
is
the
assessment
which
is
tied
to
our
evaluation
of
the
dollar,
set
to
the
work
done.
The
other
matter,
of
course,
there's
underlying
disputed
facts,
and
that
would
have
to
be
refereed
in
some
other
venue,
but
I
will
open
up
the
committee.
B
Mr.
chair,
thank
you
for
the
floor.
For
a
moment,
staff
Mike,
Kennedy
and
as
well
as
Larry
Matsumoto,
have
spent
the
past
few
months,
preparing
technical
analysis
and
working
with
a
firm,
called
AET
who
has
provided
a
technical
analysis
and
report
that
backs
up
the
technical
analysis
that
was
done
by
our
staff.
We
respectfully
disagree
with
the
Braun
conclusions
that
they
have.
They
have
come
to
so.
A
Obviously
we
didn't
have
those
facts
before
us.
We
wouldn't
be
able
to
value,
evaluate
them
now.
Would
it
be
out
of
order?
Procedurally,
but
practically
we
don't
have
the
facts
to
be
adjudicated
on
on
that
set
of
dispute,
so
with
that
I
would
just
recommend
to
staff
by
way
of
staff
direction
to
pursue
whatever
is
the
appropriate
dispute
resolution
format
but
move
the
item
before
us,
insofar
as
we
believe
that
staff
assess
the
work
based
on
the
labor
and
material
involved
per
our
usual
evaluation.
A
B
Morning
again,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
I
am
very
pleased
and
actually
I
will
say,
excited
to
introduce
this
next
set
of
public
hearings
on
the
Hennepin
Avenue
Street
reconstruction
I'm,
going
to
introduce
the
the
two
hearings
together
and
on
elwood,
the
director
of
transportation,
engineering
and
design
will
present
one
set
of
information
that
is
applicable
to
both
public
hearings.
The
first
public
hearing
is
the
project,
approval
and
assessment
and
areaway
abandonment
for
the
special
assessments
associated
with
the
roadway
reconstruction
project.
B
The
second
Hennepin
Avenue
public
hearing
relates
to
the
streetscape
project,
approval
and
assessment,
which
is
a
passage
with
resolution,
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
for
the
additional
assessment.
The
first
one
is,
for
one
point,
one:
eight:
five
million
dollars.
The
added
value
to
the
corridor
in
the
assessments
is
four
million
dollars.
B
Jon's
gonna
do
this
too,
but
I
just
want
to
recognize
that
there
are
numerous
people
in
the
room
today
that
have
worked
extremely
hard
on
the
supporter
for
the
past
several
years,
starting
about
three
years
ago,
when
we
Reese
coped
this
project
to
be
more
comprehensive
in
nature.
The
presentation
that
you're
going
to
see
is
a
result
of
the
work
of
really
everybody
just
about
everybody
left
in
this
room,
so
I
just
want
to
say
a
collective
thank
you
to
everyone
who's
here.
F
Morning
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Donnell,
wood
I'm,
the
director
of
transportation
engineering
design
for
Minneapolis,
Public,
Works,
Thank,
You,
director
Hutchison,
for
that
great
introduction
in
the
thanks
and
and
set
this
up
for
me
today's
action.
There
are
two
separate
public
hearings
and
I'm
going
to
try
to
do
this
in
one
presentation.
I
want
to
try
to
set
the
stage
for
the
history
of
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today.
F
So
in
2016,
public
works,
proprietor,
2016
public
works,
added,
Hennepin
Avenue
to
the
capital
program.
The
infrastructure
in
Hennepin
was
falling
apart,
both
above
ground
and
below
ground
and
I
wanted
to
thank
Jenny,
Hager
and
transportation,
planning
and
programming
that
that
went
out
and
did
some
stakeholder
engagement
to
get
us
to
a
council
approved
concept
layout
for
Hennepin
and
that
set
us
up
so
that
we
could
go
then
seek
federal
funding
and
really
start
to
pull
this
program
together.
F
Little
over
two
years
ago,
we
established
a
stakeholder
Advisory
Committee
in
and
they've
done,
a
lot
of
work
over
the
past
two
plus
years,
and
that
was
made
up
of
the
business
owners
and
managers
Association
the
downtown
Minneapolis
Neighborhood
Association,
the
Hennepin
Theatre
trust,
metro,
transit
in
the
Epis
downtown
council,
and
also
the
D
ID.
We've
been
working
together
for,
like
I,
said
over
two
years
to
try
to
pull
this
corridor
together.
What's
the
look
and
the
feel
and
the
vision.
F
Engagement
and
design
process
over
a
hundred
and
fifty
meetings
for
this
corridor,
we've
done
design
workshops,
open
houses,
we've
done,
pop-up
events
on
the
street,
we've
put
chalk
out
on
the
roadway
or
out
on
the
sidewalk
to
show
people.
What's
this
new
corridor,
gonna
look
like
neighborhood
meetings
and
a
whole
host
of
one-on-one
meetings
with
all
the
businesses
or
anybody
who
wanted
to
find
out
more
about
the
project.
F
Nice
graphic
on
schedule,
so
in
2016
we
had
this
approved
concept
which
allowed
us
to
seek
the
funding.
We
did
our
engagement
process
to
get
a
council
approved
geometric
layout
for
that
base
roadway.
What
is
it
gonna
look
like
that
was
in
summer
of
2018
and
that's
when
we
started
to
work
on
what
I
would
call
the
enhanced
streetscape
elements
for
what
Hennepin
is
so
that
came
in
in
late
2018
in
a
good
part
of
2019.
F
When
we
started
the
journey
for
the
streetscape,
what
we
wanted
to
show
is
that
the
dark
blue
box
here
this
represents
what
I
would
call
city
funding,
federal
funding
gas
tax
funding
and
allowed
us
to
talk
to
those
property
owners
and
say
this
helps
leverage
with
a
little
dollars
more
up.
On
top,
we
can
put
in
an
enhanced
REIT
scape
across
the
entire
corridor,
which
we
presented
SB,
but
we
also
entertained
doing
a
much
higher
level
of
a
streetscape
engagement
between
fifth
and
tenth,
but
that
base
funding
really
helped
set
the
stage
for
getting
more.
F
F
Then
we
said
what
would
tier
be
look
like.
What
could
we
get
for
more
investment?
So
in
that
more
investment
is
enhanced.
Street
lighting
banners
planted
areas,
larger
trees,
irrigation
systems
that
would
be
in
level
B,
and
we
said
what
could
we
do
between
5th
and
10th
to
raise
it
up?
Even
more
so
we
came
up
with
this
graphic,
more
banners
and
what
I
would
call
theatrical
type
lighting.
This
would
be
programmable
lighting,
movable
lighting,
sound
systems,
scored,
sidewalk,
more
intensity
in
the
middle.
F
During
the
streetscape
process,
these
are
several
of
the
meetings
that
we
had,
so
in
October
and
November
of
2018.
We
did
one
on
one
property
owner
meetings
in
November
of
2018.
We
had
open
houses
to
talk
about
the
streetscape
in
December
we
had
property
owner
design
workshops
and
then
in
June
of
2019
we
had
an
enhanced
streetscape
petition
meeting
to
tell
the
public
here's
what
we're
proposing
to
do
and
what
it's
going
to
cost.
F
It
was
not
well
supported
from
a
cost
perspective,
and
so
we
had
to
rework
what
the
streetscape
was
going
to
be.
So
we
got
back
together
with
the
SAC
group
and
what
we
did
was
we
adjusted
the
streetscape
and
basically
took
out
tear
hay
in
the
middle
by
adjusting
removing
some
of
the
benches
and
going
more
with
a
standard
lighting
package
of
enhanced
lighting.
But
we
took
out
the
theatrical
lighting.
F
In
addition,
we
worked
with
Minneapolis
Town
Council
and
Eydie
Bend
Charlo,
put
together
a
nice
graphic
for
us
that
when
we
were
talking
to
folks
about
what
do
planters
look
like
what
was
in
their
mind
is
what
was
out
on
Hennepin
before
and
I
wanted
to
show
them.
We've
done
a
couple
pilot
projects,
and
this
bottom
picture
is
here's
what
we're
going
to
deliver.
So
when
they
heard
planters,
they
thought
the
top
picture,
but
we
wanted
to
show
them.
F
This
is
what
we're
gonna
deliver
same
thing
happened
with
the
bus
shelters
when
we
said
bus
shelter
in
their
minds.
They
saw
that
top
picture.
But
what
we're
delivering
is
that
bottom
picture
and
then
again
with
parking
lot
fencing
they
saw
what's
out
there
today
and
that's
what
they
got
in
their
mind.
We
wanted
to
show
them
in
the
bottom
picture.
This
is
what
we're
going
to
deliver.
F
So
the
streetscape
enhancements
here's
the
elements
of
the
streetscape
enhancements,
the
custom
lighting,
which
you
can
see
in
that
in
the
picture,
banners
on
the
lights,
larger
trees,
planter
beds
with
railings
irrigation
systems,
custom
light
poles,
those
custom
lights
that
are
going
in
with
this
proposed
streetscape
provide
the
enhanced
lighting
now.
But
those
light
poles
are
can
provide
easy
modifications
in
the
future.
If
we
wish
to
add
more
streetscape
enhancements
also
include
custom
tree
grates,
bicycle
parking,
trash
and
recycling
and
parking
lot,
fencing.
F
F
So
that's
public
hearing
number
one
is
for
the
roadway
for
the
streetscape
enhancements.
That's
four
million
dollars
based
on
front-foot
lineal
across
the
entire
corridor.
So
it's
the
more
lineal
feet.
You
have
you
pay
X
dollars
per
lineal
foot
and
that's
the
basis
for
the
assessment
on
that
property.
That's
a
four
million
dollar
assessment.
F
A
H
A
H
Chairmembers,
my
name
is
bill.
Griffith
representing
Minneapolis
City
parking
you'll
know
them
as
the
owner
of
the
Orpheum
lot,
the
orphaned
Lots
just
to
the
south
of
the
Orpheum
Theatre.
We
filed
written
objections
so
I'll,
be
brief.
I
just
want
to
make
this
statement
on
the
record,
so
we
connect
our
written
objections
to
the
record
for
this
hearing
the
we
believe
the
city
has
failed
to
establish
special
benefit
for
the
public
improvements
and
the
assessments,
as
required
by
law.
The
benefits
are
general,
as
described
in
the
presentation,
but
not
special
or
specific
to
the
property.
H
A
G
Good
morning
I'm
mark
near
house
and
president
CEO
of
Hennepin
theater
trust
at
900
Hennepin
and
we're
pleased
to
see
the
project
advanced
to
the
stage.
We
recognize
that's
taken
a
lot
of
work
to
get
there,
as
mr.
Elwood
has
noted
that
there's
been
hours
and
hours
of
stakeholder
meetings
that
we've
been
a
part
of
I've
been
a
part
of
that.
My
colleagues
have
been
a
part
of
that
Hennepin
Theatre
Trust
drives
cultural
and
economic
vitality.
G
Through
the
leadership
of
the
Hennepin
theater
district,
we
bring
more
than
600,000
people
a
year
to
the
downtown
for
ticketed
events
at
the
Orpheum
theaters
and
others.
We
lead
statewide
education
programs
and
we
transform
the
space
and
the
downtown
through
activation.
As
was
noted
earlier,
we
have
the
largest
public
art
program
in
the
Midwest.
G
As
a
result
of
that,
we
expect
that
we're
getting
more
than
just
a
roadway
that
we're
really
emerging
from
this
with
the
city
helping
to
set
the
state
which,
with
these
capital
improvements,
so
that
we
can
leverage
these
capital
improvements
for
the
benefit
of
the
entire
theater
district
by
activating
the
district,
by
continuing
to
bring
in
great
performances
that
benefit
the
entire
district.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
their
support
of
this
project.
G
A
I
I
I
We've
also
been
working
to
make
sure
that
the
operational
implications
of
the
design
that
you
see
are
being
fully
vetted
and
understood
by
our
stakeholders.
So
it
will
not
only
be
this
capital
component.
There
also
will
be
slight
increase
in
the
operating
costs
associated
with
these
improvements,
but
it's
well
well
worth
it
and
they'll
be
part
of
our
future
budgets
coming
forward
in
the
post
2022
period
and
then,
secondly,
from
a
downtown
council
perspective.
I
Streetscape
accompanied
and
Dodd
blew
right
through
all
the
attributes
of
the
street
project
itself,
but
this
new
head
will
be
accommodate
bus,
rapid
transit,
protected
bike
way,
as
you
saw,
so
it
really
will
be
a
fitting
befitting
the
the
great
status
at
Hennepin
house
as
one
of
our
great
streets
in
downtown
Minneapolis
and
throughout
the
city.
So
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
this
morning.
This
is
a
this
is
a
point
point
of
celebration,
I
think
so.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
J
J
Is
you
know
largely
one
of
consensus
and
celebration
and
to
get
to
a
place
where
we
can
really
say
it
takes?
You
know
it
really
takes
some
civic-minded
everybody
investing
and
doing
their
part
and
all
of
the
little
investments
that
everybody
is
making
are
gonna
add
up
to
more
than
than
the
sum
of
those
investments.
J
I
think
we're
gonna
see
this
start
to
be
a
place
that
draws
people
in,
and
that
invites
people
and-
and
you
know,
Hennepin
has
been
that
at
many
times
in
Minneapolis
history
in
different
ways,
and
this
next
incarnation
of
it
is
gonna,
be
one
of
the
best
yet
so
thank
you.
Everybody
who's
been
involved
in
this
process.
Who's
raised
your
concerns
so
that
we
could
get
to
a
place
that
we
felt
good
about
it
and
and
to
everybody.
J
The
building
owners
who
are
making
big
investments
not
just
through
these
assessments,
but
also
in
renovating
their
buildings
and
really
you
know,
starting
to
invest
and
TANF
in
theater
trust,
who's
doing
so
much
to
liven
up
the
whole
stretch
from
five
to
ten
and
really
make
it
feel
like
a
theater
district.
So
there's
there's
so
much
great
creative
work
going
on
and
so
much
investment
and
I'm
excited
about
the
future
I
pent
up
in
Avenue.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
those
comments.
Anyone
else
wish
to
make
comment.
I
will
just
said
yeah,
it's
been
three
years
formally,
but
certainly
there
was
pre
consideration
about
Hennepin
Avenue
well
in
advance
of
that.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
don't
know,
there's
a
time
when
we
don't
collectively
civically
think
about
Hennepin
Avenue,
what
it's
been,
what
it
is
presently
and
what
it
can
be.
Nicholette
Avenue
is
great
it'll
get
in
design
magazines.
A
Every
time
we
go
around
to
design
it
and
jazz
it
up
and
it'll
have
its
own
sort
of
flavor,
but
in
my
mind,
Hennepin
Avenue
is
Main.
Street
Minneapolis,
it's
it's
urban,
its
active,
it
always
has
been.
It
has
that
character
not
defined
by
a
design
elements,
but
the
people
who
use
it
and
use
it
well.
To
that
end,
I
was
already
just
have
to
call
out
the
Hennepin
theatre
trust
without
peer.
A
We
have
a
lot
of
great
elements,
but
all
the
elements
that
are
there
are
prepared
for
more
for
more
activation
and
I
think
we
are
really
on
a
strong
footing
to
do
that
future
work,
but
with
a
great
street
that
will
get
accomplished
because
Dinah
woods
on
the
job,
you'll
get
it
done
and
it'll
be
a
great
day
when
we
cut
those
ribbons
so
and
great
leadership
from
the
councilmembers
who
put
everything
into
it,
knowing
how
important
it
is
for
the
whole
city.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A
With
that,
I
will
move
the
item
before
us
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye,
okay
and
we
basically
had
two
actions,
and
so
that
was
a
formally
the
action
for
the
layout
and
then
we'll
formally
take
up
the
action
for
the
streetscape,
because
it
was
one
consistent
presentation
and
one
consistent
set
of
testimony
so
item
3
specific
to
the
streetscape
I'll
move
that
item
all
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
dissenting
name
that
carries
we've
now
dispensed
with
our
business
and
manager,
and
thank
you.
Everyone.
