A
Good

approve
the

Commissioners
may
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
those
actions.
A
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor
motion
carries
next.
We
will
organize
the

will
determine
which

Thank

very

item
number.
One
is
a
request
for
street
renaming.
It's
a
commemorative
street
renaming
for
Plymouth
Avenue
between
Penn
Avenue,
north
and
Queen
Avenue
north,
the
STS
Funeral
Home
has
existed
for
I
believe
since
the
70s
at
the
north
end
of
that
existing
Street
segment
and
was
recently
reconstructed
at
the
south
and
and
I
believe
recently
just
opened
this
year,
council
member
Allison
has
requested
the
commemorative
Street
renaming
for
this
portion
of
the
street,
and
we
have
a
few
people
who
are
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
application.
Today,
all.
A
C
Have
not
been
here
in
this
this
position
here
in
a
while
I
think.
Last
time
I
was
here.
I
turned
my
back
to
the
council.
I
actually
saw
I
won't
be
doing
that
today.
My
name
is
Jeremiah.
Ellison
I
live
at
the
Rio
for
Gramercy
Avenue
over
your
Lynwood
I,
where
I'm
the
representative
city
councilmember
for
Ward
5,
where
this
commemorative
Street
will
be
happening
and
I
just
wanted
to
say.
I
really
want
to.
Thank
you
guys
for
considering
this
item.
C
Some
of
the
street
meetings
were
were
a
way
for
them
to
understand
that
this
was
where
that
they
were
home
and
not
just
purely
visitors,
I
think
in
North
Minneapolis,
where
we
have
this
steep
history
of
disinvestment.
I
think
that
we
need
some
reminders
right
to
know
that
this
is
our
space,
that
North
Minneapolis
is
a
space
that
has
been
that
made
a
place
by
people
that
have
at
times
in
the
city's
history,
been
divested
from
or
ignored
in
the
history
and
I
think
that
by
honoring
the
estus
is
in
richard
estes.
C
D
My
name
is
Bill
English
I
am
the
I
reside
at
twelve
850th
Avenue
in
Plymouth,
Minnesota
I've
lived
in
Minneapolis
for
more
than
55
years,
so
I
tell
people
I
sleep
in
Plymouth
and
I
live
in
North
Minneapolis
I
do
most
of
my
work
I'm
a
consulting
project
director
for
the
North
job-creation
team,
which
is
directly
and
indirectly
responsible
for
bringing
in
the
last
four
years
over
thousand
living
wage
jobs
and
benefits
to
North
Minneapolis.
So
we
have
a
vested
interest.
D
D
There's
this
family
came
there
more
than
45
years
ago,
but
they
brought
a
history
with
them
that
history
came
from
Kansas,
where
their
family
was
very
much
associated
and
work
with
the
people
who
owned,
hallmark,
I,
remember,
meeting
Rhema,
Estes
and
then
other
Estes
Frederic,
a
seasoned,
Richard
and
I
saw
their
commitment
to
community
service
into
public
service.
What
do
I
mean
by
that?
He
opened
a
funeral
home,
a
trained
funeral
director.
D
He
opened
a
funeral
home
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
know
anything
about
poor
communities
of
color.
Often
people
don't
have
insurance
the
in
Harlem.
They
used
to
call
it
funeral
parties
to
take
up
money
to
bury
people.
We
wouldn't
have
to
do
that
in
Minneapolis,
because
we
had
Richard
Estes
and
that's
his
family,
they're
buried.
So
many
people
here
for
free
and
no
charge.
You
know
minimal
donations.
There's
too
many
to
count.
D
I
tell
you
today,
both
as
a
representative
of
the
NAACP
but,
more
importantly,
as
a
member
of
New
Salem
Missionary
Baptist
Church,
where
my
pastor
Reverend
McAfee
would
have
been
here
today,
but
he
is
in
at
a
National
Baptist
executive
committee
meeting
in
Jackson
Mississippi,
and
we
asked
the
Baptist
preacher
to
come
to
a
National
Convention
and
speak
they
go.
But
he
asked
me
to
tell
you
that
he
has
directly
talked
to
mr.
D
D
So
we
had
an
man
Tommy
bronze
mayor
of
Minneapolis,
because
we
weren't
recognized
I
can
think
of
many
places
along
the
avenue
that
could
have
been
named
for
an
african-american.
We
are
grateful
that
we
finally
gave
credit
for
at
the
former
fifth
Ward,
all
the
person
councilmember
van
Wayne,
but
it's
long
overdue
to
recognize
someone
else.
I
spoke
to
the
former
city
council
person.
No
I
got
a
call
from
mrs.
Estes
and
she
was
weeping
and
she
said:
I
just
talked
to
councilmember
yang
and
I
asked
him.
D
Would
you
consider
offering
a
resolution
to
name
this
street
for
Richard
after
the
community
had
raised
after
he
passed
away,
and
he
was
told
she
told
him,
he
told
her.
Oh
I'll
give
him
a
day,
but
never
a
street
I
thought
that
was
rather
arrogant
for
someone
with
just
arrived
here
a
few
years
ago.
That
was
arrogant
and
it
didn't
represent
the
feelings
of
the
community,
and
so
I
called
him,
and
he
said
the
same
thing
to
me,
but
I
reminded
him
just
before
the
last
election.
He
said,
don't
bet
against
me.
D
I
said:
oh
yeah,
I'm
betting
against
you,
and
so
now
we
got
a
city
council
person
who
has
been
kind
enough
and
recognized
the
history
and
the
contributions
of
his
family
to
present
this
matter
to
you
I'm,
proud
of
him.
Not
thank
you
for
your
work
and
your
service
to
do
that,
but
more
broadly
I'm,
proud
of
this
lady,
mrs.
Estes,
who
doesn't
like
to
speak
publicly
in
her
in
her
agent.
This
is
our
errand
and
oh,
the
honor
of
chief
Rondo.
D
So
you
see
we
have
long
ties
in
this
community
for
people
who
care
about
this
family
and
will
care
about
the
contributions
they
have
made.
This
planning
committee
could
do
no
better
than
to
recognize.
The
great
contribution
is
family,
my
honoring
him
and
our
community
by
recognizing
this
icon
their
contributions
and
letting
every
kid
who
walks
up
and
down
that
steep
and
sees
Richard,
as
his
name
know
that
one
day
I
may
matter
as
much
as
he
did.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
E
Address
for
the
record
my
name
is:
April
is
since
I
live
in
1606
C's
Avenue
North,
since
my
husband
passed
I'm
the
owner
of
ESI's
Funeral
Chapel,
we
were
in
North
Minneapolis
for
62
years.
When
things
was
happening
in
North
Minneapolis
years
ago,
my
husband
decided
he
would
stay
there
because
he
knew
that
he
would
be
needed
and
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
all
as
the
old
saying,
I'm,
not
a
public
speaker
but
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
considering
it.
I
want
to
thank
my
city,
council
persons
who
are
considering.
E
We
have
helped
so
many
people,
and
so
many
people
has
helped
us.
Since
my
husband
passed
a
lot
of
people
from
North
Minneapolis
has
talked
to
me
in
the
grocery
stores
in
Walgreens
wanting
to
know
mr.
entities
are
we
going
you're
gonna
keep
the
sinner,
Chapel
and
I
could
not
make
up
my
mind.
I
had
to
pray
about
it,
but
then
I
decided
that
I.
Would
one
lady
came
to
me
and
she
said:
don't
sell
that
Chapel
mr.
Estes,
she
said
because
that's
the
only
thing
we
have
to
call
our
own.
E
So
therefore,
I
want
to
just
thank
you
for
considering
it.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
what
we
all
have
to
say
and
I
just
appreciate
you
voting
yes
to
have
this
done,
because
my
husband
really
really
deserve
it.
You
would
have
to
know
him
in
order
to
understand
what
we're
doing
he
loved
North
Minneapolis
he's
been
gone
six
years
he
loved
North,
Minneapolis,
I,
love,
North,
Minneapolis
and
I
was
sure
all
of
y'all,
probably
don't
know
about
North
Minneapolis,
but
it's
a
wonderful
place.
Thank
you.
A
A
Right
and
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
the
participant
petition
to
add
the
commemorative
name
of
Richard
Estes
way
to
Plymouth
Avenue
North
between
Penn
Avenue
and
Queen
Avenue
North.
Is
there
any
discussion
hearing
none?
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
that
petition
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll.
A
H
H
I
apologize
I
was
not
prepared
to
speak
to
this
item
tonight
over
hood,
where
I
was
gonna
get
pulled
off,
but
we
are
recommending
approval
of
both
applications
subject
to
conditions
of
approval,
specifically
on
the
site
plan
review
relating
to
landscaping
and
screening
of
the
parking
lot
filling
in
some
of
the
missing
gaps
within
their
landscaping
plan
that
exists
today
and
then
also
in
the
proposed
landscaping
plan
there
for
you
at
tonight
and
I
will
stand
for
questions.
Mister.
A
Hearing
none
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
for
this
item.
I'd
like
to
see
if
the
applicant
has
anything
to
add
to
the
staff
presentation,
nothing
to
add,
so
we
can
move
on
to
other
speakers
and
just
maybe
have
one
or
two
speakers
on
this
item.
So
please
come
to
the
microphone
state,
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
That's.
I
Hidden
karaoke
anyway,
it's
good
to
see
y'all
happy
new
year.
Thank
you.
My
my
name
is
J
Webb
I'm,
the
director
executive
director
of
the
International
gateway
and
our
corridor
is
along
Blaisdell
on
lake
all
the
way
to
Columbus,
and
our
initial
purpose
is
to
help
boost,
boost
the
morale
and
boost
the
beste
settings
there
on
Lake
Street.
It's
a
challenge
area.
I
We've
all
recognized
that
the
reason
why
I'm
here
is
not
necessarily
to
oppose
the
approval,
but
more
so
that
there
be
some
that
some
things
be
addressed
even
more
so
because,
overall
in
that
community,
it's
it's
we're
really
enough.
Whatever
all
the
businesses
are
come
together,
the
people
are
coming
together,
working
with
city
and
staff.
I
All
the
time
just
see
how
we
can
make
things
better,
Taco
Bell
is,
is
probably
one
of
the
most
challenges
places
because
because
if
we
is
situated
there,
there
are
it's
it's
prime
suspect
for
loitering
and
drugs,
and
prostitution
and
Lakes
repeat:
they've
they've
been
there
and
they've.
You
know,
but
it's
it's
going
to
take
more
than
just
a
lake
street,
be
is
more
than
just
a
doctor
to
fix
it,
but
the
patient
has
to
do
some
things
as
well.
What
we're
at
right
now
is,
you
know
the
prime
example
is
McDonald's
across
the
street.
I
We
just
we
just
believe
that
Taco
Bell
should
should
step
up
a
little
bit
more
and
keeping
the
site
clean
and-
and
you
know,
just
being
more
proactive
when
if
they
see
someone
that
that
is
doing
something-
that's
that's
not
in
you
know
not
good
for
society
that
they
should
alert
us
as
well
as
doing
their
best
to
you
know,
keep
the
snow
removed
and
and
keep
these
things
keep
these
things
on
the
whole
trend,
because
that
whole
corridor
at
Lake
Street
is
being
where
it's
it's.
It's
it's
getting
stronger
and
stronger.
I
Every
every
time,
I
see
you
guys
it
gets.
It's
it
gets
better
and
better
so
I,
just
I
think
that,
there's
before
we
approve
anything
that
we
should
also
make
sure
that
before
they
add
on
to
the
house
that
they're
taking
care
of
the
house-
that's
already
there
and
that's
not
just
inside
but
also
out,
and
that's
just
also
making
a
concerted
effort
with
the
international
gateway
with
the
city
Minneapolis
and
also
with
the
police
and
also
with
the
local
local
residents.
I
There
I
think
that
would
I
think
that
would
really
help
before
we
add
on
to
a
building
that
we
can
make
sure
that
everything's
concentrated
in
their
efforts
and
I
appreciate
you
guys
that
first
year
we
were
one
of
the
best
cities
in
the
country.
I
always
say
that,
but
you're
gonna
get
tired
of
hear
me
saying
that,
but
I'm
here
so
I
appreciate
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
A
J
Peter
1:20
South,
sixth
Street
Minneapolis
I'm
here
as
attorney
for
Sabri
properties
and
I'm
in
the
unusual
position
of
opposing
something
but
in
Sabri
properties,
is
clearly
a
very
pro-business
organization
that
this
is
a
neighbor
to
their
headquarters.
Right
on
Lake,
Street
and
they've
worked
hard
with
International
gateway
to
try
to
clean
up
this
part
of
Lake
Street
about
the
six
or
seven
blocks
east
of
35w,
and
probably
the
most
difficult
neighbors
Taco
Bell,
and
it's
been
a
consistent,
difficult
paper.
J
They,
unlike
McDonald's,
which
has
is
able
to
in
this
neighborhood,
keep
things
clean
and
I
believe
under
the
ordinance
you're
supposed
to
pick
up
litter,
certainly
stuff
from
their
establishment
within
500
feet.
Mcdonald's
does
it
Taco
Bell
doesn't
and
it
blows
around
the
neighborhood,
and
that
kind
of
that
litter
is
what
just
brings
neighborhoods
down
and
is
inviting
to
the
riffraff
that
comes
by
and
it
just
speaks
to
it.
J
In
a
plan
of
an
owner
to
address
these
things,
so
one
would
be
the
litter
they're,
like
the
lat
they're,
usually
the
last
one,
to
deal
with
snow
on
their
sidewalks
a
three
as
part
of
the
landscaping
plan,
the
gravel
they
have
in
place,
but
isn't
that
maintained
its
hours
in
the
sidewalk
and
and
one
of
the
biggest
ones?
And
maybe
is
beyond
this
hearing
here,
but
they
are
at
that
area
at
night.
J
They
hang
out
for
prostitutes
and
drug
dealers
and
they
simply
don't
have
a
good
security
plan
in
place
to
deal
with
that,
and
things
could
be
much
better
on
Lake
Street
if
they
did,
and
so
we
are
urging
that
this
either
be
denied
or
sufficient
conditions
be
placed
to
address
these
these
issues.
So
the
letter,
the
landscaping,
the
snow
plowing
and
the
riffraff
that's
there
at
night.
Okay,
thank
you.
L
Mr.
chair
and
commissioners,
I
will
say
that
we
have
a
very
challenged
site
only
in
that
we
have
a
bus
stop
in
front
of
our
our
store
McDonald's.
Doesn't
we
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
to
to
keep
that
area
clean?
It
is
a
challenge,
there's
no
doubt
about
it,
but
we
haven't
had
any
complaints
that
we
are
operations.
People
have
in
the
past
when
we've
had
issues
for
not
for
several
years
we
have
moved
far
we
work
with
the
police
department.
We
haven't
worked
with
mr.
L
Sabri
I
know
they're
disappointed
that
we
haven't
participated
in
the
International
gateway.
We
chose
to
deal
with
the
special
service
district.
We
worked
with
the
city
in
that
capacity.
We
feel
that
we
have
a
good
security
plan.
We
are
going
to
be
changing
the
gravel
in
doing
the
things
as
part
of
the
conditions
of
this,
of
this
conditional
use
permit
the
landscaping
plan
will
be
be
adhered
to,
and
we
have
to
talk
to
the
city
about
that.
But
the
the
principle
thing
that
I
want
to
say
is
we're
talking
about
it's
replacing
a
cooler
unit.
L
A
prefab
cooler
unit
on
the
rear
of
the
building,
which
will
be
more
energy
efficient,
will
amount
to
fewer
truck
traffic
coming
in
to
supply
it.
It's
greener
and
it's
really
a
hundred
and
fifty
square
feet
more
and
we
realize
when
we
come
out
of
that
footprint,
we
are
subject
to
to
get
having
our
conditional
use
plan
modified,
but
the
hours,
the
internal
operation,
nothing
is
changing
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
the
city,
the
police,
department
and
and
the
licensing
folks
where
this
is
probably
a
licensing
purview.
L
If,
if
you
want
to
really
decide
what
you
want
to
do
with
it,
but
we
don't
have
a
problem,
nobody
is,
we
have
talked
the
police.
Everything
seems
to
be
working,
fine,
the
litter
again,
a
challenge
with
the
bus.
Stop
it's
a
lot
of
it
isn't
our
stuff,
but
we're
we
pick
up
a
hundred
feet
from
the
corners.
L
So
I'd
ask
you
to
prove
this
with
the
understanding
that
the
conditions
are
gonna
be
dealt
with
with
the
city
and
that
the
other
opportunity
is
to
talk
to
licensing
and
if
they're
not
happy,
you
know
they
need
to
come
to
us,
but
we
we
are
good.
Neighbors
we've
been
there
since
1994,
it
was
as
Antigo
in
87
it's
an
old
building
that
we've
maintained
and
it's
a
very
successful
business,
and
we
hope
that
we
could
have
your
support.
Thank.
A
H
L
N
L
Is
well
that
and
I
I
don't
know
a
Hillary
and
what
you
were
out
there
on
site
and
looked
at
our
lighting
with
the
down
lights
and
what
we
have
I
mean
the
city's.
We
were
meeting
the
requirement
and
if
people
think
we
need
to
add
some
additional
lighting
or
something
we
certainly
can,
but
that's
never
been
an
issue
that
we're
aware
of.
Thank
you
all.
A
O
K
M
P
A
N
So
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
put
conditions
on
the
Picard
start.
Shoveling
so
forth.
I
think
is
a
really
important
item
just
having
trouble
seeing
that
as
a
connection
to
cooler
replacement,
so
so
I
won't,
but
I
would
encourage
neighbors
pretty
stop.
The
bells
would
be
proactive
on
that
and
I
would
urge
neighbors
to
make
sure
to
call
the
city
and
as
needed,
and
that's
not
really
the
purview
of
the
Planning
Commission
minimally
and
it's
definitely
not
really
kind
of
this
particular
application.
But
that
doesn't
mean
it
don't
think.
It's
an
issue
all.
Q
Q
K
K
A
R
Good
evening,
commissioners,
the
site
before
you
is
Marcy
open
school,
which
is
the
307
to
323,
4th
Street,
southeast
and
414
3rd
Avenue
south
east.
The
application
is
for
conditional
use,
permit
and
site
plan
review
for
a
just
over
ten
thousand
square
foot
addition
to
an
existing
K
through
12
school,
that's
mostly
located
in
the
interior
of
the
site.
The
addition
would
be
used
for
a
cafeteria
and
mechanical
equipment
and
the
kitchen
uses
that
hold
on
the
site,
so
the
site
shares
a
block
with
home
park.
R
The
proposed
addition
is
located
on
the
interior
of
the
site,
I
believe
that
the
potential
comments
might
have
to
do
with
conditions
of
approval,
so
I'll
focus
on
that
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
the
conditional
use
permit
and
site
plan
review
there.
The
project
was
evaluated
for
alternative
compliance
for
a
number
of
items,
some
of
which
are
existing
conditions
on
the
site,
which
are
not
necessarily
exacerbated
by
the
addition.
R
That
condition
the
first
condition
is
that
the
school
work
with
community
partners
to
re-implement
the
Peace
Garden
staff
has
recommended
a
condition
that
the
required
75
shrubs
be
implemented
on-site
with
notes
in
the
staff
report
that
that
be
negotiated
with
the
community
partners.
There
are
two
other
conditions:
one
regarding
working
with
a
park
board
to
implement
a
park
board
master
plan
and
the
third
one
is
working
with
public
works
on
construction
safety
on
the
site.
R
These
are
not
typical
conditions
that
staff
would
implement
in
relation
to
the
Zoning
requests,
because
these
things
are
either
going
to
be
handled
through
the
relationship
with
the
park
board
or
through
construction
permits.
So
unless
there
are
any
clarifying
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Okay,.
A
S
Name
is
Jaclyn
Decker,
Travis
and
I
live
at
608
7th
Avenue
southeast
I
am
the
coordinator
for
the
Marcie
labyrinth
path
to
peace,
which
I
think
to
clarify
it's,
not
a
peace
garden.
It's
a
10-year
old
project
has
about
a
480
thousand
dollar
investment,
including
a
TCF
neighborhood
grant
labyrinth
pattern.
S
Mississippi
water
should
rain
garden.
That
was
just
installed
a
year
ago,
where
Miss
Neapolis
public
schools
was
a
fiscal
agent
on.
So
we
have
considerable
investment
from
students
pulling
out
of
their
piggy
banks
to
buy
bricks
on
the
pathway
to
community
members
to
the
Neighborhood
Association.
So
lots
of
folks
are
very
invested.
S
S
It
is
a
peace
site
and
that's
a
International
Peace
site,
Marcy
open
school,
so
there's
some
sacred
properties
to
it.
Folks
have
scattered
ashes.
It's
used
as
a
memorial
had
weddings
there.
People
walk
it
for
meditation.
So
it's
important
to
the
kind
of
makeup
of
Marcy
open
school
and
why
it's
so
waiting
with
school
and
very
successful
site.
T
U
Hi
I'm
Eric
Wonderlic,
they
live
at
4:13
fifth
Street
South
East
may
be
representing
the
Marcy
homes
Neighborhood
Association
on
this
topic.
We've
worked
with
the
project
planners
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
for
several
months,
and
the
initial
commitment
seemed
very
positive.
The
commitment
to
replace
the
the
labyrinth
and
the
past
path
to
peace,
so
I
would
speak
strongly.
Jackie's
already
talked
about
it,
but
the
first
condition
in
the
neighborhood
lighter
to
commit
to
the
original
intent
of.
U
Dismantling
and
storing
and
reconstructing
that
asset
in
a
in
a
way,
that's
an
agreeable
to
the
members
of
the
community,
and
the
second
condition
is
regarding
the
working
with
the
Minneapolis,
Park
and
Rec
board
on
the
east
of
the
river
master
plan.
The
park
is
accessed
regularly
by
residents
of
the
neighborhood
were
concerned
about
conflicting
with
school
traffic,
etc.
U
As
people
walk
across
the
park,
there
really
is
a
critical
relationship
there
between
the
park
and
the
school
playground
and
the
way
that
its
interacts
with
the
neighborhood
so
I
think
that
that
condition
too
is
appropriate
to
be
added
to
this
project
in
approval
and
then
the
third
item,
working
with
the
neighborhood
to
mitigate
the
traffic
concerns,
that
is,
the
5th
Street
southeast
historic
district.
That's
a
relatively
narrow,
one-way
street,
there's
already
a
lot
of
traffic
because
of
the
traffic
other
construction
traffic
in
the
neighborhood
in
just
the
freeway
traffic.
U
There's
a
lot
of
traffic
that
uses
5th
Street
as
a
arterial
street.
Basically,
north
westbound
done
right.
Construction
traffic
could
be
routed
into
the
site
from
4th
Street
to
enter
and
exit
the
site,
any
traffic
that
needs
to
transit
site.
We
feel
should
enter
the
site
from
the
5th
Street
side
and
exit
out
on
4th
Street,
rather
than
the
reverse
that
would
put
construction
traffic
out
onto
5th
Street
school
buses
can
hardly
make
the
corners
off
of
5th
Street
it's
hard
to
imagine
that
construction
traffic
will
be
able
to
navigate
5th
Street.
U
It's
also
a
bicycle
Boulevard
there's
a
lot
of
bicycle
traffic
on
the
street.
It
also
would
put
construction
keep
construction
traffic
away
from
the
front
of
the
school
separate
the
construction
traffic
from
the
school
buses
and
parents
pick
up
and
drop
off
and
all
the
other
traffic.
Thank
you
thank.
A
V
My
name
is
Bill
Hunsicker
I
live
at
4:15,
eighth
Street,
southeast
four
blocks
from
the
park
and
the
school
my
children
played
in
the
park,
and
there
are
adults
now,
but
they
went
to
that
school
and
I
just
want
to
underline
what
Jackie
and
Eric
have
already
said
and
be
very
assured
that
the
18-wheelers
will
not
go
through
the
neighborhood
during
the
construction.
They
need
to
go
stay
off
of
the
one-way
street.
I
saw
an
18-wheeler
go
down
there
mistakenly
the
other
day.
V
He
had
to
back
up
three
blocks
in
order
to
avoid
going
across
the
bump
outs
in
which
neighbors
have
planted
flower
beds
on
each
corner,
and
so
we
need
to
be
very
careful
about
the
construction
mitigation
and
I
want
to
applaud
the
school
board
and
its
staff
for
working
with
the
neighborhood,
as
they
have
done
very
well.
So
far
we
had
thought
some
of
those
considerations
which
had
been
put
into
the
record
now
would
be
part
of
that
formal
plan,
but
we're
happy
with
the
way
this
was
going.
Thank
you
right.
A
M
So
I
see
in
the
in
the
floor
plan
that
you
have
symbols
for
trees
and
shrubs
and
just
wondering
if
you've
picked
out
these
specific
shrubs.
The
area
of
concern
I
have
is
at
inside
corner
that
points
to
the
north
and
east
I've
heard
arbovirus
thrown
out
from
the
staff
I'm
just
I'm
wondering
if
you
thought
about
the
visibility
and
the
graffiti
prevention
with
the
landscape
in
an
inside
corner.
Those
are
areas
for
refugee
artists
like
to
the
tag
I.
M
X
N
W
Absolutely
are
we've
already
selected
our
contractor
on
this
site,
and
they
have
a
tangible
plan
to
the
labyrinth
is
comprised
of
small,
concrete
pavers
about
this
big.
There
are
thousands
of
them.
Do
you
know
how
many
four
thousand
of
them
it's
a
complicated
puzzle,
and
our
intention
is
to
take
them
up
carefully
document
it.
Take
it
up
in
pallet
sized
pieces
of
that
puzzle
to
make
reassembly
more
straightforward
and
to
store
those
pallets
on
site
carefully
and
replace
anything
that
may
get
damaged
in
the
process
is.
W
Yeah
in
one
of
the
pages
of
your
submit
all
you'll
see
a
new
area
that
we
left
a
blank
intentionally,
because
this
area
will
be
reinvigorated,
Association
and
the
labyrinth
committee
to
see
how
exactly
it
will
be
reinstalled.
So
at
this
point
we
don't
have
a
design
for
it,
but
our
intent
is
that
it
will
be
approximately
the
same
size
as
it
is
now.
Okay,.
K
F
A
N
A
A
G
A
Y
Good
evening,
president
Brown
commissioners,
so
the
subject
site
contains
three
parcels
that
are
located
between
Lake
Street
and
the
Midtown
Greenway
they're,
located
facing
Bryan
Avenue
south
the
applications
that
are
required
for
the
six
story.
Building
is
our
conditional
use
permit
to
increase
height
above
four
storeys
marrieds
to
increase
the
maximum
fa
are
in
the
c2
district
from
two
point,
one:
two:
five
to
three
point:
five:
five
and
also
site
plan
review.
Y
So
here's
an
aerial
shot
of
the
site.
It's
just
a
few
blocks
east
of
the
Lynn
Lake
activity
center.
Actually,
this
one
is
one
block
to
the
west,
I'm,
sorry
of
the
Lindley
activity
center
and
Lake
Street
as
a
commercial
corridor.
Here,
here's
some
renderings
provided
by
the
applicant,
showing
the
proposed
building
in
the
context
of
its
block.
Y
There
are
a
number
of
commercial
uses
along
this
stretch
of
Bryan,
even
though
it's
replacing
three
single-family
homes,
so
the
the
building
overall
would
have
an
l-shape.
The
second-floor
amenity
deck
would
have
some
landscaping
on
there
and
that
that
portion
faces
Bryant
Avenue
south
the
applicant
is
proposing
essentially
a
1
foot
setback
off
the
north
property
line,
which
is
next
to
a
commercial
use
and
a
9
foot
step
back
off
of
the
style
property
line.
That's
adjacent
to
a
residential
use.
Y
Y
Would
also
mention
that
the
landscaping
plan
does
require
alternative
compliance,
because
the
site
does
not
have
any
on-site.
Canopy
trees
and
they'd
be
required
to
provide
one.
So
staff
is
recommending
a
condition
of
approval
that
one
be
provided
in
in
areas,
presumably
between
the
building
and
the
south
flat
line.
Where
there's
a
nine-foot
setback.
Y
For
the
floor
plans
work,
we
are
recommending
a
condition
of
approval
that
the
commercials
that
there
would
be
a
commercial
space
provided
be
provided
a
minimum
of
1,000
square
feet
in
area.
So
it's
up
to
the
applicant
to
determine
where
it
would
be
along
Bryant,
but
we
feel
that
that
would
help
to
meet
the
intent
of
a
density
bonus
that
would
normally
be
provided
for
an
FA.
Y
Our
request
of
this
nature,
there
they're
currently
obtaining
the
density
bonus
for
providing
enclosed
parking,
but
they
have
not
obtained
the
mixed-use
commercial
density
bonus
which
would
actually
require
2,700
square
feet.
So
staff
felt
that
1,000
square
feet
could
meet
the
intent
of
a
that
density,
bonus
that
they
would
not
be
actually
achieving.
Y
Y
The
alley
Bryant
again
with
a
patio
on
the
second
floor
roof,
and
there
is
a
neighborhood
group
letter
and
support
with
a
few
caveats
that
were
added
to
it
and
I-
wanted
to
note
that
in
the
staff
report
and
in
the
recommended
action
that
you
have
tonight,
the
six
storeys
was
missing
from
the
conditional
use
permit
action.
So
if
you
do
intend
to
change
the
staff
recommendation,
I
would
I
would
note
that
the
six
storeys
be
added
to
the
71
feet.
Thank
you.
A
Z
Z
You
know
in
storefront,
on
our
Lobby
to
keep
the
retail
of
we've
also
pushed
amenities
towards
Bryant
Avenue
to
maintain
active
uses
on
the
on
Bryant
Avenue,
and
we
have
also
added
lighting,
as
requested
in
our
cow
to
the
facade
and
at
the
ground
floor
on
Bryant,
so
that
we're
adding
some
light
to
a
dimly,
lit
mid
block
area
of
the
street,
which
was
also
requested
by
the
neighborhood
and
with
that
I'd
also
like
to
introduce
the
applicant
of
Hall,
Sweeney
and
yellow
'try
to
speak
on
this
matter.
Also.
Q
Good
evening,
commissioners,
Ralph
Luba
now
with
the
Ellen
Tree
live
at
46th
and
Park
I
just
want
to
speak
to
the
commercial
condition
of
approval.
Just
kind
of
give
you
a
look
back
from
what
we
started
designing
the
project.
We
feel
the
yellow
tree
that
it
is
very
important
to
have
commercial
space
and
community
amenities
within
our
building
and
also
provide
it
to
the
larger
neighborhood.
Q
But,
looking
at
this
area,
we
thought
not
being
on
a
corner
being
on
Lake
Street
and
also
all
the
changes
that
are
happening
along
this
corridor
with
the
Mexican
fusion
recently
hearing
about
all
the
stars
that
have
either
transitioned
changing
out
swapping
that
this
isn't
the
best
spot
it
may
be
in
the
future.
But
it
isn't
right
now,
so
the
best
way
to
activate
the
front
is
to
provide
housing,
so
walk
up
units,
and
that
was
intentionally
done,
but
it
was
also
intentionally
done,
knowing
that
it
could
be
reversed
that
changed.
Q
So
as
the
neighborhood
changes
Silke
in
the
plan
to
provide
you
know,
maybe
its
amenities
as
a
commercial
space,
but
right
now
it
should
be
housing.
There's
stills
a
lot
of
active,
active
or
not
active
and
dormant
space.
That's
been
developed
four
or
five
years
ago.
So
with
that
direction
and
working
with
djr,
it
was
how
we
defined
you
know
what
is
the
lock
left
space,
but
also
knowing
that
that
can
be
reversed.
Q
So
if
there
is
stabilization
and
the
commercial
industry
kind
of
on
linton
lake
even
going
into
uptown
in
the
future,
those
could
be
made
commercial
spaces
and
even
expanded
into
the
parking
structure.
So
if
it's
one
or
two
tenants
in
the
future,
the
space
could
be
larger
for
commercial
uses
as
they
become
available.
The
worst
thing
that
we
could
have
is
mistaken
commercial,
which
there's
a
lot
of
in
this
area,
so
that
was
kind
of
the
backdrop
and
how
he
decided
to
have
walk-up
units
to
meet
the
active
uses
versus
commercial.
Z
Is
item
b2
and
c4,
which
are
pretty
much
the
same
condition
in
regards
to
blank
walls
and
just
to
clarify
the
area
we're
talking
about
on
the
north
side?
Is
this
area
which
a
blank
wall
by
our
code
is
labeled
as
25
feet
in
linear
length?
This
is
27
4,
so
it's
2
feet,
4
inches
too
big,
which
can
makes
it
considered
a
blank
wall.
Z
We
have,
in
the
past,
push
back
a
recess
in
this
location
to
provide
modulation
on
that
north
side,
and
we
would
ask
that
this
condition
be
struck
because
we've
modified
this
building
already
and
we're
also
trying
to
kind
of
plan
for
the
future
of
this
neighborhood,
in
that
this
north
side
currently
has
you
know
a
one-story
office.
Building
on
that
that
could
be
subject
to
change
in
the
future.
Z
The
last
time
we'd
like
to
talk
about
is
item
c5,
which
has
to
do
with
the
number
of
materials
I
believe
every
facade
on
this
building
has
more
than
three
primary
materials.
However,
we
felt
it
was
necessary
to
have
the
number
of
materials
that
we
had
to
provide
modulation,
to
provide
a
legitimate
base
middle
and
top
that
helps
scale
the
building
to
a
residential
feeling
for
this
neighborhood,
and
if
we
were
to
eliminate
some
materials
to
fall
within
that
three
material
limit.
M
Z
Z
We
also
have
a
yellow
paint
for
a
door
and
then
a
small
amount
of
metal
panel,
and
that
likewise
goes
for
most
of
all
the
elevations
for
the
south
side,
I
believe
we
do
fall,
that's
the
only
side
that
might
fall
into
the
three
primary
material
limit,
which
there
is
brick
on
the
bottom.
The
building
that
you
just
can't
see
it
in
this
rendering.
Z
Z
AA
Z
Z
Yes,
first,
we
this
building
is
a
foot
off
of
that
property
line
so
to
actually
have
a
window
by
fire
code.
We'd
have
to
push
back
that
wall
significantly.
Our
other
option
is
to
push
it
back
and
recess
to
mitigate
that
blank
wall
issue.
However,
this
is
probably
shed
more
light
on
the
point.
I
was
making
earlier
that
to
the
north
at
this
site.
Being
a
one
foot
off
the
property
line,
somebody
does
have
the
opportunity
to
build
in
the
future
and
cover
whatever
transparency.
With
that
we
would
put
on
the
north
side.
Thank.
AA
A
AB
Hi
I'm,
a
Zac
Anderson
I
live
at
1511
Lagoon,
but
I
work
at
910,
West
Lake,
which
is
the
commercial
building
that
is
directly
south
of
this
on
the
same
block
now
I'm
not
here
to
talk
about
the
aesthetics
of
the
building
which
unfortunately
matches
the
rest
of
the
developments
in
Uptown
I
would
like
to
comment
that
this
blank
wall.
Listen,
we
have
art,
you
have
a
huge
graffiti
problem
on
the
two
large
blank
walls
from
high
points
and
the
high
point
printmaking
Center
at
the
other
end
of
the
alley
and
on
art
building.
AB
So
we
already
have
graffiti
problems
and
a
blank
wall
is
gonna,
be
a
nightmare.
They're
gonna
have
to
be
out
there
sandblasting
that
all
the
time
guaranteed
now
I'm
here
to
ask
about
the
construction
noise,
because
I'm
really
scared
that
it's
gonna
drive
away
all
our
business
all
summer.
You
know
I
live
across
the
street
from
where
it
what
they're
doing
to
the
former
Sons
of
Norway,
building
and
I,
had
to
hear
a.
AB
Piledriver
mounted
to
a
crane
jamming
eye
beams
into
the
bedrock
all
summer,
and
we're
really
really
scared
that
that
that's
what's
gonna
happen
here
now.
I
can't
provide
tarot
card
readings
to
my
clients
with
this
in
the
background,
I
know
that
directly
north
there's
a
healing
center
with
therapists
and
other
different
kinds
of
people
that
require
a
serene
environment.
They're
not
going
to
be
able
to
provide
any
kind
of
like
services,
we're
all
going
to
lose
a
whole
bunch
of
money
and
we're
worried.
AB
Frankly,
the
building
owner
is
worried
that
the
ceiling
is
that
the
plaster
is
gonna
start
collapsing.
If
that's
what
they
do
so
they're,
probably
gonna
build
the
boat
I
would
urge
y'all
to
put
a
huge
noise
like
thing
limiting
it.
Maybe
90
decibels:
okay,
because
that's
gonna
kill
that
corner.
If
we
have
to
have
that
kind
of
like
construction
noise
all
summer.
So
as
long
as
they're,
not
using
giant
cranes
and
eye
beams
to
piledrive
into
the
bedrock
all
summer,
I
mean
I.
AB
A
Q
Good
evening,
yes,
we
do
well.
First
of
all,
we
do
site
surveys
of
our
property,
every
neighboring
property,
even
city
improvements,
to
sidewalks
light
poles,
as
it
may
be.
We
have
met
with
the
neighbors
to
the
north
and
to
the
south.
Actually
just
last
Friday,
we
met
with
the
South
neighbor,
so
as
part
of
the
monitoring,
if
they're
open
to
us
surveying
their
their
property
and
their
their
conditions.
Yes,
we
do
that
prior
to
any
work
being
done.
Q
We
also
do
on-site
monitoring
while
we're
doing
any
excavation
or
anything
that
has
significant
vibrations
to
it,
so
that
is
directly
related
to
a
phone
so
anytime
that
they
need
over
a
certain
decimal
level
or
frequency.
It
notifies
by
text
message
and
that's
just
standard
construction-
that
we
do
to
make
sure
that
it's
contained
to
reasonable
levels
on
site
and.
K
K
O
A
Right
and
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
item
a
the
conditional
use
permit
and
I'll
note
that
staff
had
suggested
also
adding
in
for
that
maximum
height
height
of
six
storeys.
In
addition
to
71
feet,
six
inches
that
has
one
stated
condition.
Is
there
a
second?
So
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
any
discussion
hearing,
none
clerk,
please
call
the
roll.
M
A
AA
Age
where
we
have,
in
my
opinion,
over
built
retail,
we
have
a
lot
of
empty
storefronts.
We
hear
of
stores
closing
in
this
area,
frequently
I
think
the
owners
have
presented
themselves
as
being
very
flexible
with
the
space
and
very
thoughtful
and
have
given
very
thoughtful
consideration
to
the
market
in
the
location
and
the
design.
AD
Similarly,
I
think
that
this
applicant
in
the
past
is
kind
of
gone
above
and
beyond
what
we
would
expect
for
retail
space
and
the
several
projects
that
they've
done
in
the
past
year
or
two
and
so
I
think
in
this
case,
if
they
don't
want
to
do
it,
there's
probably
a
compelling
commercial
reason
why
they
wouldn't
want
that
space
to
sit
empty.
It
is
kind
of
off
of
of
Lake
Street
a
bit
and
so
I
I
do
see
that
they
would
probably
have
trouble
leasing
that
space.
Since,
why
am
support
that
motion
and
Commissioner.
N
Wroclaw,
it's
similar
to
Commissioner
madrina.
You
know,
I
want
to
underscore
that
I
believe
the
applicant,
because
the
applicant
has
put
forth
a
lot
of
color,
more
commercial
on
38th
Street
than
we've
seen
on
Nicollet
Mall
in
other
projects,
and
it's
noted
I
mean
so
you
know,
I
do
hope
that
there
is
potential
here.
This
is
kind
of
on
the
edge
of
a
commercial
district
and
I
also
know
there
are
art
studios
nearby
here
and
so
there's
potential,
for
you
know,
retail
more
broadly,
as
creating
an
arts
district
in
this
area.
AC
I
just
wanted
to
say,
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
motion
as
it
stands.
Well,
I,
certainly
I'm
relatively
indifferent
to
whether
or
not
condition
number
one
remains
as
it
is.
It
actually
is
outside
of
our
purview
as
to
whether
or
not
this
applicant
has
done
good
projects
in
the
past.
We
were
looking
at
this
application
and
I
think
that
the
flexibility
that
they
worked
into
it
is
compelling
alone,
but
their
previous
projects
are
kind
of
not
really
any
have
nothing
to
do
with
this
project.
AC
That
being
said,
I
do
not
so
I
could
go
either
around
conditioner
more
but
condition.
Number
two
I,
absolutely
think
it
is
needed.
I
think
that
when
I
looked
through
the
packet
and
saw
the
elevations
I
think
it
stands
out,
like
a
sore
thumb,
I
think
it's
an
eyesore,
quite
frankly,
I
think
that
there's
a
reason
we
have.
AC
It
said
that
the
linear
feet
we
do
for
blank
walls
and
I
understand
that
it's
more
rentable
square
footage
to
not
jog
back
to
allow
windows,
because
you're
going
to
be
five
feet
from
the
property
line,
but
I
think
that
that's
needed
for
a
reason
and
I
think
it's
very
unattractive.
To
be
honest,
and-
and
it's
exactly
an
illustration
of
why
we
have
the
blank
wall
provision,
we
do
so
I'm,
very
unsympathetic
to
losing
condition.
AC
K
A
Right
and
I
guess
maybe
at
this
point
we
should
just
vote
on
this
motion.
If
there
is
no
further
discussion,
if
it
fails,
we
can
certainly
consider
an
alternative
motion.
So
is
there
any
further
discussion
on
this
motion
to
approve
item
be
the
variance
with
no
conditions
hearing
none
clerk,
please
call
roll
Coleman.
G
O
AE
A
So
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
item,
be
the
variance
striking
at
the
first
recommended
condition
related
to
commercial
space
and
including
the
second
condition,
which
relates
to
mitigating
the
blank
walls
on
levels.
Three
through
six,
is
there
any
discussion
hearing
none.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
item
B
with
one
condition
related
to
mitigating
blank
walls
and.
K
G
O
G
K
A
N
F
A
AD
You
know
just
say
you
know
I
think
in
general,
we
want
to
be
cautious
when
we
have
a
whole
lot
of
materials
on
the
side
of
a
building
at
this
time,
sometimes
get
that
kind
of
messy
collage
look
on
a
lot
of
buildings
when
it's
just
a
flat
box
with
a
bunch
of
random
material
changes.
That
I
think
this
is
pretty
clearly
an
articulated
facade
that
has
a
few
different
passings
and
I
think
that
this
hole
will
look
good
as
as
for
postal.
A
K
A
H
Item
number
10
is
Lydia
house;
it
is
located
at
1914,
1920,
LaSalle
Avenue,
the
applicant
does
Beacon
interfaith
housing.
Collaborative
they're
here
for,
in
addition
to
the
existing
facility,
which
was
established
back
in
2003,
is
a
40
unit,
supportive
housing
facility
that
proposing
40
unit
addition
to
that
existing
building
and
looking
down
the
block.
The
same
block.
Excuse
me
as
the
property
is
the
Van
Deusen
mansion
in
the
central
mansion,
both
of
which
are
historic,
locally
designated
historic
properties
in
the
city,
and
then
it
counts.
H
They
are,
as
I,
said,
they're
proposing
a
40
unit
addition
to
the
north
side
of
the
existing
building.
It's
a
six
story
addition.
So
this
is
the
footprint
of
the
addition,
and
then
this
is
the
existing
property.
North
is
to
the
right
on
your
screen
and
then
the
parking
lot
that
exists
in
this
lot
right
now
will
be
modified
to
accommodate.
For
that
addition,
there
are
four
applications
before
you,
one
of
the
conditional
E's
from
it
to
expand
the
existing
supportive
housing
use.
H
A
conditional
is
permit
to
increase
the
height
of
the
building
from
four
stories
or
56
feet
to
six
stories
or
67
feet,
a
variance
of
the
front
yard
setback
along
LaSalle,
Avenue
from
15
feet
down
to
one
foot
and
then
Sehun
review
for
what
what
is
approximately
twenty
four
thousand
square
foot
addition
to
the
building?
We
are
recommending
approval
of
all
applications
subject
to
conditions
the
conditional
use
permit
for
the
use.
We
are
recommending
approval
the
conditional
use
permit
for
the
height.
H
The
addition
is
two
stories
are
eleven
feet
taller
than
what
is
allowed
here
is
an
aerial
image
that
was
created
by
the
applicant.
That
shows
that
addition
to
the
existing
building
and
the
massing
of
the
building,
as
you
can
see,
has
been
pushed
to
the
north
side
of
the
existing
building
and
away
from
the
other
properties.
The
addition
at
South
will
be
twenty
nine
feet
from
that
north
property
line
here
and
then
one
hundred
feet
from
that
South
property
line
here.
So
this
again,
this
is
the
the
extent
of
the
addition
proposed.
H
The
height
of
the
building
is
compatible
with
the
existing
building
and
the
surrounding
buildings
on
the
block.
The
Van
Dusen
mansion
and
the
simple
mansion
are
both
three
storeys
in
height,
however,
given
when
they
were
constructed
and
what
they
were
constructed
for,
they
are
grander
in
in
appearance.
They
have
a
taller
floor
to
ceiling
heights.
H
Looking
at
this
block,
the
addition
will
not
block
views
of
the
existing
buildings.
I
did
take
some
images
from
Google
Maps
today,
so
this
is
looking
at
the
corner
or
staying
sitting
at
the
corner
of
Groveland
and
LaSalle
Avenue,
and
so
the
the
Lydia
apartments
is
in
back
of
the
addition
that
was
on
the
Van
Deusen
mansion
and
then
here
is
an
image
from
LaSalle
Avenue
in
front
of
the
existing
building,
and
you
can't
see
the
simple
mansion
and
back
of
it.
H
Oh
excuse
me,
you
can't
see
the
simple
mansion
sitting
in
back
of
this
and
the
addition
is
going
to
be
here
in
the
foreground
of
the
picture,
and
so
you
can
see
when
you're
driving
that
well,
it
is
a
six
story.
Addition,
it
is
not
going
to
block
views
of
those
properties
and
LaSalle
is
a
one-way
heading.
South.
K
H
I
would
just
note
that
the
intent
of
the
standard
is
to
preserve
public
view
quarters
not
to
protect
private
views
from
private
developments
of
the
surroundings,
so
we
are
recommending
approval
of
the
conditional
use
from
it
for
height
the
setback,
variance.
It
is
not
actually
for
the
addition.
It
is
to
enclose
three
porches
that
are
existing
on
the
property.
There
is
a
portion
of
the
building
that
juts
out.
That
is
one
foot
from
the
property
line.
H
These
are
three
stacked,
balconies,
those
are
going
to
be
enclosed,
and
so
therefore,
this
portion,
it's
an
additional
15
linear
feet
of
building
that
will
be
enclosed.
That
is
what
the
variance
request
is
for,
and
we've
found
that
there
are
practical
difficulties
on
the
site,
given
that
it
is
existing,
the
balconies
exist
and
they
will
be
enclosing
those,
and
so
we
are
recommending
an
approval
of
the
of
the
setback,
variance
and
then
for
site
plan
review
here
is
just
an
image
that
was
taken
from
the
their
materials.
H
They
do
meet
most
of
the
standards,
except
for
some
of
the
landscaping
in
screen,
and
some
of
that
has
to
do
with
the
fact
that
they
have
parking
out
of
the
alley
that
if
we
were
to
screen
that,
then
you
would
not
be
able
to
access
this,
and
no
one
wouldn't
have
access
to
those
parking
spaces
moving
into
the
future.
And
so
we
are
recommending
alternative
compliance
for
those
items
under
site
plan
review
and,
like
I
said
we
are
recommending
approval
and
I
will
stand
for
any
questions.
Commissioners.
A
AF
AF
Two
six
one:
zero
University
Avenue
west
suite
100
st.
Paul
Minnesota.
Let's
see
thanks
for
hearing
our
various
land-use
related
applications
for
this
Lydia
apartments
project.
As
you
know,
Lydia
apartments
was
developed
as
a
response
by
church
and
lay
leaders
to
homelessness
appearing
literally
on
the
doorsteps
of
Plymouth
Congregational
Church
right
across
the
street.
AF
We
wish
to
improve
the
existing
building
and
serve
an
additional
40
tenants
consistent
with
our
standard
due
diligence
we
reached
out
in
the
spring
of
last
year
to
our
adjoining
neighbors,
the
Minnesota
Church
Center,
with
its
six
story.
Building
to
our
West,
which
is
as
Hilary
covered,
is
it's
a
taller
building
just
factoring
in
topography
the
Van
Dusen
to
our
north,
the
simple
mansion
to
our
south
in
Plymouth
Congregational
Church
to
our
East,
based
on
the
feedback
we've
received,
we
made
some
design
adjustments
to
our
preliminary
plans.
AF
What
you
see
reflected
in
the
middle
before
you.
We
have
also
met
with
Stevens
Square
community
organization,
both
the
design
and
financing
application
stages
and
receive
their
support
for
this
project.
We
have
found
broad
support
for
this
project
among
our
public
financing
and
funding
partners.
We
have
significant
finance
and
committed
to
this
project,
state
tax
credits,
other
financing
for
Minnesota
housing
in
nearly
two
million
dollars
in
affordable
trust
funds
from
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
appreciate
your
review
of
our
development
and
look
forward
to
moving
ahead.
AF
A
You,
commissioners,
are
there
any
questions
of
the
applicant.
If
there
are
none,
we
can
move
on
to
some
other
speakers
and
just
sort
of
a
sense.
How
many
of
you
would
like
to
speak
on
this
item?
How
can
I
think,
just
see
a
show
of
hands
how
many
people
would
like
to
speak.
So
we
have
a
handful.
We
can
start
over
on
this
side
of
the
room
and
you
can
decide
who
goes
first
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
My.
P
P
P
P
It
is,
it
is
my
understanding
that
the
and
her
faith
has
other
properties
in
Minneapolis
and
surrounding
communities
that
I,
don't
know
have
been
considered
for
an
alternative
to
this
very
good
project.
It's
just
this
project
in
between
two
very
significant
Minneapolis,
landmark
properties.
Historic
properties
is,
is
a
big
issue.
P
I've
watched
the
simple
mansion
since
2006
go
from.
You
know
it
was
Franklin
Bank.
It
was
very
rundown.
These
owners
put
I
mean
to
just
see
over
14
years
what
has
gone
into
the
restoration
and
preservation
of
this
property,
and
then
the
juxtaposition
of
over
the
10
years
or
12
years
that
I've
been
a
tenant
of
the
simple
mansion
I
have
seen
the
Lydia
apartments
is
constantly
scattered
with
trash
overgrown
their
windows.
The
paint
is
chipping
and
falling
off.
There's
constant
loitering
in
our
parking
lot
in
our
trash
bins
at
our
doorstep.
P
On
one
occasion
as
I'm
working
in
my
office
in
the
evening,
I
see
a
resident
of
the
delivery
apartments.
Looking
down
on
me,
masturbating
now,
I
also
understand
both
of
these
historic
properties
in
between
this
Lydia
apartments.
Public
house
weddings
so
I
feel
that,
as
as
as
an
issue
that
either
we
value
historic
properties
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
or
we
don't,
because
there
are
alternative
sites
for
this
housing
project.
P
AE
Good
evening
tom,
the
bank,
a
de
vie,
I
n
ck
e,
addressed
to
20
South
sixth
Street
Suite,
1900
I'm,
the
attorney
for
simple
mansion,
a
limited
liability
company,
the
owner
of
the
simple
mansion,
my
clients
own,
the
simple
mansion
for
approximately
14
years.
It's
not
just
a
locally
registered
landmark.
It's
also
on
the
national
registry.
AE
It's
been
meticulously
and
lovingly
restored
to
every
last
detail
and
if
any
one
present
has
attended
a
wedding
or
other
event
at
the
venue,
they
can
see
just
with
their
eyes
what
words
really
can't
describe
in
the
time
we
have
here,
but
it's
simply
a
beautiful
historic
property.
It's
also
a
premier
wedding
venue
in
the
Twin
Cities
area,
winning
many
awards.
AE
I
speak
specifically
to
be
the
request
for
the
height
variance
and
not
just
just
the
height
but
the
location
of
the
property
and,
as
we
think
about
the
request
for
the
high
variance
I
would
ask
that
the
community
keep
to
Commission
keep
two
precepts
in
the
back
of
their
mind.
And
one
is
this:
the
National
Historic
Preservation
Act,
which
is
implicated
by
this.
AE
Although
that
has
not
been
addressed
by
city
staff,
it
is
implicated,
and
it
requires
that
the
local
implementing
official
delineate
the
area
of
potential
effects
for
a
project
of
this
magnitude,
and
that
hasn't
been
done.
It
has
been
done
because
the
applicant
didn't
accurately
describe
its
project
in
the
first
instance
to
the
State
Department
of
Administration,
which
oversees
the
implementation
of
this
federal
statute,
and
this
is
a
partly
federally
financed
project.
So
the
statute
has
application
here,
although
it
hasn't
been
considered.
AE
In
fact,
in
a
letter,
that's
in
the
materials
of
pages
98
and
99,
the
responsible
official
at
the
State
Department
of
Administration
asks
the
applicant
one
of
the
partners
of
the
applicant.
What
is
the
a
PE
for
this
project?
It
has
never
even
been
delineated,
and
so
the
other
precept
I
would
ask
to
keep
in
mind,
is
how
do
we
treat
historic
properties?
There's
axiomatic
that
there
are
two
things
at
least
that
one
wants
to
do.
AE
We
want
to
be
able
to
see
it
and
when
you're
there,
you
want
be
able
to
see
from
it
all
right.
One
thing
we
don't
do
in
good
planning
is
surround
historic
properties
so
that
they're
not
visible
we're
all
mindful
of
some
of
the
tragedies
of
the
late
1800s
and
early
1900s
in
New
York
City.
But
of
course
those
things
weren't,
really
historic.
Yet
when
they
encased
certain
properties
very
closely
with
others.
But
let's
take
a
look
at
what
we're
really
dealing
with
here.
AE
This
is
the
existing
view
from
the
third
floor
of
the
simple
mansion
and
I
can
say
that
the
view
of
the
skyline
is
a
real
selling
point
for
my
client,
though
I
would
agree
we're
not
here
to
just
talk
about
private
property
interests.
We
have
alternatives
here,
we're
kind
of
everyone
gets
what
they
want.
The
applicant
gets
the
size
of
the
building.
They
want
the
shape
of
the
building
they
want,
but
why
cite
it
in
this
particular
way?.
AE
AE
The
proposed
new
structure
west
and
the
parking
comes
to
the
front
so
that
the
new
structure
doesn't
front
LaSalle
but
instead
fronts
the
back
alley,
guess
what
same
building
same
dimension
same
height,
they
get
the
variants
that's
described
in
B,
but
now
look
at
the
view
from
the
historic
property
of
the
downtown
skyline.
So
of
course,
the
building's
more
visible
to
others,
and
it
has
a
view
of
the
city.
At
the
same
time,.
AE
Where
would
we
go
from
here?
I
would
propose
that,
because
the
federal
statute
hasn't
been
complied
with,
because
the
area
of
potential
effects
hasn't
even
been
determined
and
the
state
concern
addressed
addressed
in
pages
1999
and
materials
in
the
January
4th
letter,
which
was
copied,
the
city
staff
hasn't
been
responded
to
in
any
meaningful
way,
certainly
not
this
evening.
We
would
ask
that
this
here
and
be
continued
so
that
my
client
can
be
matures
can
be
addressed
by
the
applicant.
AE
AG
AE
AG
AH
AG
AH
AH
Image
is
it's
kind
of
the
view
from
one
of
the
windows
taken
at
the
staircase,
so
what
we
did
in
here
is
we
kind
of
outlined
the
location
of
our
proposed
addition.
One
of
the
things
I
noticed
was
in
the
previous
document.
They
kind
of
slid
the
building
over
a
little
bit
where
our
building
is
actually
located
will
be
kind
of
covering
the
hyatt
building,
but
it's
keeping
the
viewport
or
as
a
compromise
of
kind
of
the
more
premier
part
of
downtown.
AH
So
everything
kind
of
from
the
IDs
kind
of
over,
in
the
view,
is
also
keeping
the
other
prominent
buildings
and
also
keeping
the
Van
Dusen
mansion,
also
in
the
view
of
their,
so
it
was
trying
to
strategically
kind
of
locate
an
area
for
the
building.
We
also
have
a
couple
other
images,
so
this
is
actually
from
the
from
the
staircase.
That
is
a
on
the
on
the
upper
level.
That
kind
of
looks
out.
So
this
is
actually
when
you're
on
the
landing
kind
of
looking
out.
AH
It
look
like
our
building
was
slid
over
and
not
not
keeping
kind
of
the
view
of
the
IDS
and
kind
of
more
of
the
premier
buildings.
So
we're
trying
to
be
really
sensitive
about
keeping
the
premier
area
of
the
view
available
for
the
sample
mansion
and
then
addressing
the
preferred
location
from
Semple
on
the
site
towards
trying
to
move
it
to
the
other
corner.
We
had
looked
at
that
and
if
we
did
that,
then
the
Van
Dusen
mansion
then,
is
completely
shaded
all
the
time.

I'm

Paula,
northwood

while
I
reside
in

I
am
the
acting
senior
minister
of
the
Plymouth
Congregational
Church.
That's
addresses
in
1919
LaSalle.
We
are
directly
across
the
street
from
Lydia
apartments
and
I
can
say
that
we
as
a
1,700
member
congregation,
are
very
supportive
of
this
project
and
I
can't
really
speak
so
much
to
the
view,
except
that
I
can
speak
to
the
need
in
our
neighborhood
for
more
housing
for
homeless
people
almost
daily.
We
deal
with
people
who
cross
our
threshold
looking
for
help
of
housing
in
the
warmer
months.
AI
We
have
people
who
sleep
in
our
yard.
Sometimes
as
many
as
15
people
and
one
year,
we
even
had
a
person
make
a
snow
cave
in
the
the
snow,
plow
Hill
in
our
parking
lot.
So
there
is
need
and
we
as
a
congregation,
have
really
worked
hard
at
homelessness
within
our
city
and
are
one
of
the
founders
of
beacon
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
partnering
with
them
to
continue
to
work
for
more
places
for
people
to
live,
and
we
have
had
a
really
good
experience
with
Lydia
apartments.
AI
Many
of
the
residents
are
involved
with
our
congregation
in
a
variety
of
ways
on
different
projects,
and
we
have
valued
their
relationship
in
our
neighborhood
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
beacon
and
her
faith
collaborative
to
complete
this
project
for
people
who
so
desperately
need
a
home,
so
I.
Thank
you
for
your
support.
Thank
you
is.
X
X
I,
don't
believe,
Plymouth
is
a
trust
congregation,
but
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
work
that
beacon
has
done,
is
doing
in
hopes
to
do
in
the
future,
because
I
also
work
a
lot
with
homelessness
and
sanctuary
and
other
issues
serving
a
population
that
is
in
great
need
and
so
I'm
in
support
of
their
expansion.
Thank.
AA
Just
have
a
question
for
Stan
before
I
can
really
evaluate
the
request
that
was
stated
about
perhaps
continuing
this
item.
It
was
based
on
National,
Historic,
Preservation,
Act
concerns
and
application
information
about
the
potential
effects,
area
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
know
anything
about
that.
I.
H
Did
talk
with
survivors
at
the
state
of
struck,
Preservation
Office
after
receiving
the
letter
from
them,
because
there
are
federal
funds
involved,
they
do
need
to
go
through
the
section
106
process
with
them
as
part
of
the
environmental
assessment.
That
will
be
done
for
the
project
because
of
those
federal
funds,
and
we
had
a
discussion
about
whether
or
not
our
the
cities
HPC
would
get
involved
in
reviewing
this
project.
H
And
the
answer
to
that
is
no,
because
Lydia
house
itself
is
not
a
historic
property
and
so
HPC
does
not
get
involved
on
a
project
when
its
neighbors
are
the
historically
designated
four
days.
So
for
the
financing
part
of
this
this,
that
is
what
the
the
Shippo
will
engage
in
with
with
the
with
the
applicant
and
go
through
that
section
106
process
as
part
of
the
funding
portion
of
the
project.
H
You
know,
depending
on
the
outcome
of
that
review,
they
could
have
conditions
on
it
that
may
bring
it
back
to
this
body
depending
on
what
the
outcome
of
that
review
is.
However,
I
would
not
continue
this
to
wait
for
that
process,
because
that
process
can
take
some
time
and
I.
Think
and
I
would
let
the
applicants
speak
to
speak
to
this
or
answer
the
question
specifically
about
a
continuance
or
not.
H
It
seems
that
it
would
be
better
served
to
let
the
process
run
its
course
on
the
financing
end
and
see
what
the
outcome
of
that
that
is.
They
could
conclude
that
the
area
of
potential
effect
does
include
those
two
properties.
I
will
assume
that
it
will,
but
that
the
project
itself
will
have
no
impacts
on
those
two
properties.
Given
its
placement,
given
the
work
that
has
gone
into.
H
Site
the
addition
on
the
property
and
because
when
I
first
met
with
the
applicants,
the
property
was
in
a
different
location
and
there
I
think
there
was
a
greater
impact
to
those
two
historic
properties.
But
after
working
through
that
and
and
speaking
with
the
neighbors,
which
we
encouraged
them
to
go
and
do,
and
they
did,
the
project
is
then
before
you
tonight,
but
I
would
not.
I
would
not
recommend
a
continuance
based
on
federal
financing
process
that
needs
to
to
go
through
the
State
Historic
Preservation
Office
at
this
time.
H
But
I
would
say
that
if
there
are
conditions,
then
the
applicant
will
be
well
aware
of
those.
If
there
are
conditions
that
changes
the
design
they
will
be
coming
back
so
and
they
maybe
have
had
conversations
with
the
Shippo
after
I
did
because
I
think
I
received
the
letter
first,
because
I
believe
the
applicant
was
out
of
town.
That
day.
AK
Good
evening,
I'm
Chris
detling,
with
beacon
interfaith
my
address,
is
49
48
Russell
Avenue
South
in
Minneapolis
just
want
to
clarify
that
the
state
historic
preservation,
the
letter
that
was
in
the
in
the
application
that
was
generated
by
our
financing
partner,
Minnesota
Housing
when
they
go
through
this
process.
So
they
they
define
that
area
of
impact
and
they
were
the
ones
that
that
that
the
neighbor
or
the
simple
attorneys
is
saying,
define
it
incorrectly.
Not
us
so
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
that
that
it
was
the
State
Housing
Finance
Agency
that
started
that
process.
AK
So
we
they
take
the
lead
on
it.
We
answer
questions.
We
provide
information,
so
we
do
this
on.
Every
project
that
has
Federal
Financing
will
continue
to
participate
with
that
we
haven't
had
conversations
with
with
Chapleau
directly
the
first
time
we
found
out
that
that
the
environmental
review
had
started
was
when,
when.
K
AK
A
O
A
O
Briefly
said:
I
look
like
a
half
a
block
from
here.
The
need
is
great.
It
is
kind
of
a
paramount
concern,
I
think
of
the
city
right
now
paramount
beyond
a
lot
of
the
other
concerns
discussed
tonight,
especially,
you
know
our
views
of
the
idea
center,
so
I
am
really
excited
to
be
supportive
of
this
and
I
urge
my
fellow
commissioners
to
consider
supporting
it
as
well.
All.
A
K
M
A
G
M
A
A
O
O
A
K

A
Y
So
the
existing
property
contains
an
industrial
site
that
was
constructed
in
1951
and
was
most
recently
used
for
Minnesota
metal,
finishing
metal,
finishing
plant.
The
property
has
frontage
on
both
Filmore
and
Northeast
Winter
Street.
The
surrounding
properties
are
primarily
single-family
homes
and
duplexes
in
the
Arwen,
a
and
r2b
districts.
There
are
also
various
other
zoning
districts
in
the
greater
area,
including
r4,
r5,
I,
1
and
I
2.
The
street
grid
in
this
area
is
irregular
due
to
the
decommissioned
railroad
tracks.
One
walks
to
the
west
and
southwest
of
the
site
and
also
interstate
35w.
Y
It
is
three
blocks
to
the
east,
and
so
there
are
several
several
dead-end
streets
in
this
area,
but
Hennepin
Avenue
East
is
a
community
corridor.
That's
just
about
one
block
to
the
south.
You
can
see
the
dead-end
streets
from
this
area
a
little
bit
better
and
then
here
are
some
photos
provided
by
the
applicant
of
the
existing
industrial
building.
Y
So
the
proposal
is
for
a
three-story
building
the
20
dwelling
units
and
a
surface
parking
area,
eight
of
the
dual
eight
of
the
service
parking
lot
I'm.
Sorry,
eight
of
the
surface
parking
spaces
would
be
covered
in
part
by
the
building.
So
those
are
the
westernmost
spots
and
then
the
easternmost
spots
would
be
mostly
covered
by
a
wooden
trellis
carport
structure.
Y
They
have
consolidated,
curb
cuts,
they're
going
to
have
one
curb
cut
off
a
winter
Street
northeast
and
the
fillmore
frontage
would
have
the
woods
have
some
walk-up
units,
as
well
as
the
mean
I'm,
sorry
that
doesn't
have
the
main
interest.
The
main
entrance
to
the
lobby
area
is
off
of
the
south
on
Winter
Street,
here's
the
floor
plan.
Y
That
shows
you
how
the
building
would
cover
over
some
of
the
parking
spaces,
and
then
here
there
are
some
elevations
so
that
the
applicant
is
proposing
a
mixture
of
fiber
some
panel,
the
5/16
inch
stucco
panel
finish
as
well
as
LP,
smart
siting
and
in
the
staff
report.
I
failed
to
point
out.
This
is
actually
not
fiber
cement.
Y
There's
also
a
blank
wall
so
on
the
north
side
of
the
property.
There's
a
blank
wall
41
feet
long
on
the
second
and
third
floors
and
that's
adjacent
to
an
interior
side.
Lat
line,
and
here
here's
a
picture
of
the
material
boards,
so
staff
is
recommending
denial
of
all
four
applications,
and
this
is
primarily
tied
to
the
rezoning
request
from
our
chibita
are
for
the
existing
are
to
be
zoning.
District
accommodates
properties
within
the
sync
with
with
single
and
two
family
dwellings.
The
are
for
district
is
considered
a
multiple
family
district.
Y
The
site
is
not
does
it
is
not
near
designated
nodes
corridors
or
Landy's
features
that
would
support
increased
density
in
this
location.
The
majority
of
the
properties
within
a
350
foot
radius
contain
single-family
homes
out
of
the
71
properties
that
are
not
vacant.
73%
stay
contained,
single
family
homes,
24%
contain
duplexes
and
two
contain
industrial
uses,
including
the
subject
property.
Therefore,
the
proposed
rezoning
would
not
be
compatible
with
the
context
of
this
area.
Y
I'll
note
that
the
site
was
reclass
reclassified
from
the
m1
light
manufacturing
district
in
1999
down
to
the
r2
b
district,
and
there
have
been
no
significant
changes
in
the
area
since
that
time.
There
are
some
some
conditions
of
approval
that
we've
prepared.
If
you
wanted
to
consider
an
approval
and
those
can
be
distributed
as
you
wish.
Those
would
address
some
of
the
landscaping
deficiencies
in
the
site
plan
review
and
also
exterior
materials
on
blank
walls,
among
some
other
things
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Y
AL
Commissioners,
my
name
is
William
Wells
I
am
the
project
architect
and
applicant.
For
this,
my
address
is
283
Fremont
Avenue
South
in
Minneapolis
I'm
here
tonight,
with
the
property
owner
and
our
environmental
consultants.
We
respectfully
disagree
with
sony's
staffs
recommendation
for
you
tonight.
We
feel
that
there's
some
critical
information,
that's
missing
that
we
would
like
to
add
tonight
to
add
some
clarification.
We
did
meet
with
the
Beltrami
Neighborhood
Association
four
times
before
coming
to
this
board
tonight
that
did
recommend
approval
of
the
project
and
then
additional
neighbors
wrote
letters
of
support
for
this
project.
AL
Essentially,
the
project
is
removing
a
warehouse
building,
that's
heavily
polluted
and
building
a
new
project
that
is
20%,
affordable,
housing.
This
project
right
now
that
isn't,
that
is
an
aerial
photo
on
the
screen,
the
site.
The
site
is
located
right
here.
You
can
see
that
the
warehouse
does
go
all
the
way
up
to
the
lot
lines,
there's
very
little
green
space
on
the
site.
AL
Right
now,
after
meeting
with
the
neighborhoods
association
neighbors
four
times,
they
told
us
that
the
little
issues
coming
from
that
building
are
very,
very
serious
and
that's
part
of
the
reason
that
we
need
to
demolish
that
building
to
put
a
residential
use
on
the
site.
This
is
Hennepin
Avenue
down
here
our
site
is
one
block
off
of
Hennepin
Avenue.
Here
there
is
a
mix
of
other
types
of
uses
in
the
neighborhood.
AL
Were
they
right?
There
are
reasonable
uses
allowed
under
the
existing
are
to
be
classification,
including
the
legal
use
of
the
structure
as
a
single-family,
home
or
duplex.
We
can't
use
that
structure
as
a
single-family
home
and
we
don't
think
it's
reasonable.
On
a
twenty
one
thousand
square
foot
lot:
one
block
off
Hennepin
Avenue
to
be
a
single-family
house,
there's
about
a
million
dollars
of
cost
to
buy
the
lot
and
clean
up
the
pollution
on
the
site.
There
is
no
way
to
build
a
single-family
house
on
that
site.
AL
This
is
a
map
of
the
zoning
in
the
neighborhood
as
it
exists
right
now.
Currently,
the
our
site
is
right
here.
As
you
can
see,
the
land
use
pattern
of
the
zoning
is
we
have
blocks,
and
then
we
have
our
five
at
the
corner.
We
have
a
block
next
to
us,
that's
our
to
be,
and
then
we
have
a
new
multi-family
housing
development
that
was
approved
by
the
city
about
six
months
ago
across
the
street
from
us,
that's
42
beds
to
the
block
north
of
us.
AL
You
can
see
it's
r1
and
then
at
the
corner,
there's
our
four
next
block
r5
at
the
corner,
and
that
pattern
happens
through
the
neighborhood.
So
we
don't
think
that
we're
necessarily
proposing
anything
that's
out
of
the
ordinary
of
what's
already
happening
within
this
neighborhood
we'd,
also
like
to
point
out.
AL
AL
That's
our
site
right
there,
the
orange
dot,
which
would
be
corridor
for
corridor
for
is
described
as
residential
buildings
of
one
to
four
stories.
That
is
what
we
are
proposing
that
is
in
line
when
the
Minneapolis
2040
comp
plan.
We
are
proposing
a
three-story
building,
so
while
it
might
not
fit
in
with
the
1999
plan,
it
does
fit
in
with
future
land
use
policy.
AL
I'd
like
to
talk
specifically
about
the
variances
on
the
project,
we
are
requesting
a
setback,
variance
at
the
front
of
the
lot
here.
Most
of
the
units
in
this
building
are
three-bedroom
units.
This
is
family
friendly,
affordable
housing.
We
want
to
build
these
patios
at
these
ground
floor
units
because
we
think
that
it
will
encourage
a
more
residential
use,
look
better
on
the
street
and
support
families
better
to
have
this
fence
landscaping
and
patios
ground-floor
patios,
rather
than
just
sort
of
a
blank
front
yard
of
sod.
AL
The
staff
report
doesn't
mention
this,
but
there
are
also
balconies
on
the
front
of
the
building
that
would
project
into
that
setback,
so
that
would
have
to
be
part
of
the
variance
as
well
would
be
for
the
patios
and
the
balconies
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
the
building
complies
with
the
setbacks
on
all
sides.
So
it's
not
this
isn't
about
the
building.
This
is
just
about
landscaping
elements
within
the
front
yard.
AL
The
variance
the
second
variance
that
we're
asking
for
is
to
reduce
the
minimum
lot
area
so
in
our
four
zoning
would
allow
1,250
square
feet
per
unit
on
a
twenty
thousand.
Six
hundred
square
foot
lot
that
would
allow
sixteen
units.
We
are
adding
four
additional,
affordable
housing
units
to
the
project
to
make
the
project
twenty
percent
affordable.
When
you
do
that,
you
can
go
up
to
nineteen
units,
so
we're
only
requesting
a
variance
for
one
unit.
That
unit
is
an
affordable
housing
unit.
AL
AL
As
far
as
the
exterior
building
materials,
we
met
with
the
neighbor
group
multiple
times
and
went
through
multiple
options.
The
design
you
see
in
front
of
you
tonight
is
what
the
neighbors
wanted.
They
wanted
a
building
with
a
lot
of
horizontal
siding.
They
felt
that
that
would
fit
in
contextually
with
the
other
structures
in
the
neighborhood.
We
did
look
at
other
designs
that
looked
at
the
building.
That
was
more
historic
with
a
lot
of
brick.
They
said.
No,
we
want
something,
that's
very
modern
and
new,
so
we
tried
to
give
that
to
them.
AL
We
understand
that
staff
has
concerns
about
the
north
side
of
the
building.
That
would
be.
That
would
be
right
here
in
the
north
side
of
the
building.
There
is
a
house
here
right
to
the
north
and
then
her
this
young
woman
that
lives
here
in
her
backyard.
She
came
to
the
neighborhood
meetings.
She
did
not
want
a
lot
of
windows
or
balconies
facing
her
house
or
her
backyard,
so
I
purposefully
did
not
put
windows
on
the
North
facade.
AL
AL
AM
Basically,
I
wanted
to
give
them
a
little
background
on
the
property.
This
is
what
it
looks
like.
Currently,
it's
the
history
of
this
property
was
initially
built
in
1951
and
it
was
occupied
by
a
fine
tool
and
die
company
and
another
tool
and
die
company.
There
was
a
couple
additions
added
on
to
the
building
over
the
years,
and
those
types
of
companies
often
use
a
lot
of
organic
solvents.
AM
Type
of
chemical
used,
oftentimes
causes
corrosion
zuv
floor
drains.
Typically,
contaminants
would
go
through
a
treatment
process,
go
through
a
floor
drain
and
into
this
sewer
system
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
oftentimes,
because
the
acids
use
the
floor
drains
get
corroded
and
the
chemicals
directly
go
below
the
building
or
some
other
source
on
the
way
out
to
the
street
and
cause
contamination
on
properties
like
this,
and
there
has
been
documented
and
we
haven't
completed
all
our
studies
on
this
property.
Yet
another
interior
view
of
the
vag.
You
can
see
how
the
floors
are
contaminated.
AM
One
of
the
things
that
will
have
to
be
done
as
part
of
the
decommissioning
with
Hennepin
County
is
to
determine
how
to
handle
the
florist.
The
in
the
concrete
in
the
building
cannot
be
recycled
because
of
the
contamination
will
have
to
take
core
samples
of
the
floors
and
walls
and
ceilings
in
the
facility
and
determine
the
degree
contamination
how
that
Thorian
can
be
handled.
If
it's
considered
hazardous
waste
I'd
have
to
shift
out
of
state
to
a
hazardous
waste
landfill.
AM
So
on
the
property
that
exceeds
the
residential
standards,
which
much
of
the
soil
would,
then
it
has
to
be
excavated
in
landfill
and
then
clean
Phil
brought
in
I
in
all
green
spaces
of
the
property
and
then
in
previous
areas,
where
there's
asphalt,
paving
or
building
you
have
to
have
to
clean
two
feet
of
clean,
fill
between
these
impervious
surface
and
the
contaminated
soil.
That
would
cause
significant
cost
and
excluding
all
the
soil
and
taking
it
to
a
landfill
and
in
all
the
testing
and
that's
required.
AM
The
currently
there's
been
a
Superfund
action
at
the
site
and
emergency
response
from
the
NPC
Superfund
program
has
been
there
for
the
last
month.
At
least
they
have
been
busy
pumping
out
all
of
the
liquids
from
the
bats
and
drums
that
are
in
the
building.
They
have
pumped
out
thousands
of
gallons
and
taken
it
and
have
it
do
you
we
disposed
up
properly
because
they
were
concerned
because
the
site
was
being
closed
and
the
inability
of
the
current
owner
to
pay
for
disposal
all
this
material.
This
emergency
response
has
been
occurring.
AM
They
only
removed
all
pumpable
liquids.
All
the
sludge
is
still
remain
inside
the
vats
inside
the
barrels
and
there's
also
a
couple
of
waste
treatment.
Pits
in
the
facility
that
have
sludge
in
them
as
well
as
floor
drains,
will
have
to
be
videotaped
and
any
sludge
net
pumped
out
to
see
if
the
floor
drains
are
the
integrity.
AM
Is
there
and
all
the
testing
involved
in
determining
how
much
contamination
means
on
the
property
there's
also
significant
potential
for
a
vapor
intrusion
risk
to
the
property
and
nearby
properties
in
late
2016,
the
MPCA
promulgated,
new
regulations
for
potential
vapor
intrusion
that
can
come
from
solvents
and
petroleum
products
as
they
evaporate
below
buildings.
They
can
pool
other
buildings
and
then
find
their
way
into
buildings.
Much
like
radon
does
and
cause
potential
issues
inside
buildings,
and
so
that
will
also
have
to
be
evaluated.
Didn't
they
exceed
regulatory
criteria.
AM
So
we
need
to
continue
the
investigation
on
the
property
we've
applied
for
funding
from
deed.
They
have
a
program
in
place
for
a
decommissioned
property
like
this,
it's
being
converted
into
housing
with
a
low-income
housing
component,
specifically
for
this
kind
of
property
to
get
blighted
properties
back
onto
the
rolls
and
get
them
cleaned
up
and
we've
applied
for
over
$200,000
to
deal
with
just
the
building
component
contamination.
AM
The
proposed
use,
as
this
multifamily
housing
I
think,
is
a
way
that
there's
a
lot
of
funding
available
for
this
type
of
cleanup
for
these
types
of
projects
that
will
help
get
this
property
cleaned
up
and
back
on
the
rolls
of
taxing
and
and
and
I
think
going
forward
if
it
was
to
remain
as
a
single-family
option.
Only
the
property
that
we
see
here
probably
could
sit
here
for
some
time
and
the
cleanup
would
be
delayed
significantly
from
this
proposed
development.
AM
A
AC
So
just
a
few
quick
questions,
one
is
what
how
big
are
these
patios.
AL
AL
A
AN
Toll
commissioners,
my
name
is
Mike,
fair
and
I
live
at
48,
20,
35th,
Avenue,
south
and
I
am
the
neighborhood
coordinator
with
the
Beltrami
Neighborhood
Council
and
I
am
here
to
provide
some
context
on
where
the
PNC
stands
and
our
history
with
William
and
Eric.
So
they
approached
us
in
August
regarding
this
project
and
they
came,
we
held
a
community
meeting
on
August
27th,
where
they
originally
brought
the
plans
for
the
apartment
building.
AN
Needless
to
say,
there
were
several
skeptical
residents
residents
with
concerns.
We
shared
all
of
that
with
them.
They
kind
of
reformulated.
The
plan
came
back
to
us
next
month
held
another
community
meeting
on
September
24th
and
at
which
point
they
had
made
several
changes
to
the
proposal
as
a
result
of
the
feedback
provided
by
the
community.
For
example,
it
was
a
four-story
building.
Originally,
we
said
that's
too
big.
They
changed
it
to
a
three-story
building.
AN
They
added
some
of
the
security
components,
like
the
sliding
gate
for
the
parking
which
was
discussed
in
addition
to
the
fence.
Neighbors
were
concerned
with
the
security
aspects
of
it,
as
well
as
the
green
space.
They
provided
green
space
and
they
also
met
with
councilmember
Fletcher
and
his
staff,
as
well
as
staff
and
incorporated
the
affordable
housing
component
which,
as
a
neighborhood,
we
appreciated
as
well.
AN
So
they
met
with
us
a
third
time
on
October
1st
and
at
which
point
that's
when
it
was
brought
to
the
board
of
directors
whether
or
not
we
would
write
a
letter
of
support
for
the
project.
It's
part
of
the
public
record.
We
did
in
fact
write
a
letter
of
support,
dated
October
4th
and
it
was
unanimously
approved
by
the
Board
of
Directors
and
the
specifically
supported
the
demolition
of
the
current
building
rezoning
of
the
site
from
our
chibita
r4
and
construction
of
a
three-story
20
in
the
department
building.
AN
They
could
have
in
front
of
you,
as
well
as
the
site
plan
review
and
then
once
again,
the
rezoning
efforts
we
held
discussion
board
of
directors
as
well
as
community
members,
and
once
again
we
unanimously
decided
to
write
a
letter
support
in
favor
of
the
project,
so
they've
been
tremendously
receptive
to
the
community
members
to
the
board
and
to
staff,
and
we
feel
that
this
project
would
be
a
great
fit
to
the
neighborhood.
So
thank.
T
Hi,
my
name
is
Amber
Mike
I'll
about
400
Pierce
Street.
My
house
is
this
building
my
backyard
is
this
building
my
fence
ends
and
the
building
begins.
I
can
touch
it.
My
cats
go
up
to
it
and
sit
in
the
window.
My
raspberries
touch
it
buy.
Compost
is
next
to
it.
I
spend
time
gardening
with
the
slugs
that
they
squeegee
off
into
my
backyard.
I
also
was
initially
one
of
the
residents
that
was
very
skeptical
of
this
William
and
Eric.
T
They
did
sit
with
us
four
times
and
they
heard
all
of
our
concerns,
many
of
which
her
mind
and
my
husband's
wondering
what
developer
this
is.
Is
it
going
to
be
another
big,
huge
development
in
Northeast?
Is
it
going
to
change
the
neighborhood?
We
have
I
believe
about
five
three-story
apartment
buildings
in
our
neighborhood,
if
you've
ever
driven
through
Beltrami,
it's
small,
but
it
is
a
mismatch
of
houses.
T
There's
some
from
the
80s
there's
some
really
really
early
on
when
Minneapolis
was
getting
started
and
there's
apartments
and
when
they
even
made
the
idea
to
change
from
four
storeys
to
three,
we
thought.
Okay,
we
can
maybe
work
with
them
and
they
consider
requests
regarding
a
fence
and
they
considered
a
request
making
more
security
around
it.
I
came
today
just
to
say
that
I
am
in
favor
of
it.
T
I
do
have
some
concerns,
but
every
time
that
I
voice
them
I
felt
like
they've
worked
and
they've
listened
to
me
as
somebody
in
the
neighborhood
as
a
council
member
on
the
BNC
and
I
do
believe
that
moving
forward,
they
would
work
with
me.
My
fear
is
that
another
developer
could
come
in
in
the
future
or
at
this
point
if
they
were
denied
and
they
could
maybe
not
work
with
us
or
not
care
and
the
fact
that
they
have
means
a
lot
to
us.
I
also
urge
you
to
consider
the
photos
environmentally
speaking.
T
This
is
my
backyard
and
please
consider
that
if
I
ever
raise
children
here
or
if
it
is
just
me
that
was
my
choice
to
move
there,
but
I
can't
know
what
was
in
that
building
until
now
that
it's
been
exposed
and
I
just
urge
you
to
consider
that
at
this
point
and
know
that
I
stand
as
a
resident
of
that
neighborhood
in
favor
of
it,
given
that
they're
willing
to
do
site
cleanup
and
work
with
us
as
a
neighbourhood
and
a
neighbor.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AO
Hi
I'm
Justin
Cameron
I'm,
her
husband,
this
place
is
really
disgusting
and
I
didn't
even
know
how
bad
it
was
till
I
just
saw
those
photos.
I
would
like
to
raise
kids
in
the
city,
I
believe
I,
believe
in
this
city,
but
I
can't
with
that.
Knowing
that
how
disgusting
that
place
was
I'd
have
to
move.
So
this
is
our
best
chance
to
clean.
This
up.
AO
People
complain
maybe
about
parking
or
landscaping
and
yeah
I.
That's
not
my
concern
I'm
concerned
about
the
vapors
now
so
so,
if
I
have
to
trade
off
a
few
more
neighbors
to
our
great
neighborhood,
a
belt
Rami
for
this
place
to
get
cleaned
up,
I
mean
that
that's
a
win-win
I
think
that's
it's
good
for
me
and
that's
all
I'll
say
thank
you
for
time.
Thank.
AJ
Hi
I
am
Jacqueline,
Benjamin
I
live
at
334
Lincoln
Street
northeast
I
am
chairperson
of
the
Beltrami
Neighborhood
Council.
So,
as
briefly
stated,
the
developer
has
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Working
with
our
neighborhood
will
seem
to
our
concerns.
Making
changes
accordingly,
as
I've
been
seeing
here
today,
I
am
also
very
concerned
about
the
site,
as
is
if
this
were
to
be
denied.
We
don't
know
how
long
this
you
know
building
could
sit
here
in
this
state
with
who
knows
what
leaking
into
the
groundwater.
AJ
You
know
the
proposal
to
put
single-family
housing
on
here
with
right
across
the
street,
where
some
other
multifamily
housing
is
being
built,
that
is
at
least
$500,000
worth
of
cleanup
so,
and
that
is
without
the
demolition
of
anything,
so
demolition,
plus
whatever
the
cleanup
is
nobody's
going
to
make
their
money
back
with
single-family
housing.
Therefore,
I
don't
think
anyone's
going
to
want
to
build
on
here
without
additional
funding
coming
from
who
knows
where
so
I'm
seen
as
as
a
win-win
for
the
neighborhood,
more
neighbors,
less
blight
and
more
fun.
Thank
you.
Thank.

AP
Evening,
commissioners,
my
name
is
Eric
oldest
said,
with
value
homes,
LLC
I
live
at
47,
16,
123rd,
Lane,
Northeast,
Blaine,
Minnesota
and
I.
Am
a
local
property
owner.
Have
a
history
of
successful
projects
in
northeast
and
Beltrami
neighborhood.
It
started
with
437
Fillmore
Street,
which
is
right
by
this
property,
and
then
I
met
the
seller
of
the
property
that
we're
talking
about
and
he
sold
me
what
used
to
be
a
used
as
a
parking
lot,
but
he
had
a
lot
of
issues
with
the
city
on.
Is
it
legally
a
parking
lot?
AP
AP
His
name
is
Jack
and
he
talked
about
his
building
here
and
there
and
we
became
you
know
we
were
Chad
when
I
was
in
the
area
and
eventually
it
turned
into
this
project
and
he's
obviously
no
longer
in
the
business
of
the
metal
finishing
and
apparently
that
is
a
very
big
problem
in
all
of
Hennepin
County
I.
Don't
think
anybody
is.
These
are
his
words
that
no
one's
gonna
be
doing
metal
finishing
and
Hennepin
County
anytime
soon,
because
of
all
the
pollution
and
and
what
not
the
response.
AP
The
staff
report,
peachtree
of
the
staff
report
says
there
are
reasonable
uses
allowed
under
the
existing,
are
to
be
to
family
district
zoning
classification,
including
the
legal
use
of
the
structure
as
a
single-family
home
or
duplex,
as
they
had
already
mentioned,
it'll
be
well
at
least
a
million
dollars
just
to
buy
the
buy
the
land
demo
the
building,
along
with
all
the
environmental
work,
so
there's
absolutely
no
way
to
make
it
work
with
a
single-family
home
or
with
a
duplex
or
with
a
triplex
or
were
three
triplexes.
It's
just
impossible.
AP
Another.
You
know,
the
purpose
of
the
project
is
I
mean
I.
These
guys
are
great
when
they
built
those
other
homes.
You
know
I
would
take
my
kids
to
the
park
right
there
and
it's
right.
You
know
just
north
of
there.
That's
like
a
block
away.
There's
this
awesome
huge
park
and
I
got
two
little
boys
and
we
go.
You
know
playing
in
the
park
and
I
just
really
fell
in
love
with
the
neighborhood
and
then
meeting
the
people,
the
neighbors
and
the
neighborhood
group
they're
great
and
we've
it's.
This
is
this
is
our
project.
AP
This
is
everybody
together,
and
this
is
what
we
came
up
with
because
initially
for
me
talking
with
William,
it
was
like
well
how
many
units
can
we
get?
You
know
I
mean,
let's
do
the
numbers
here
in
okay,
four
levels
and
this
and
that
and
that
totally
changed
into
what
it
is
today
and
which
is
the
best
situation
for
the
for
the
residents
for
the
neighborhood,
and
you
know
just
a
mix
of
everybody's
input
and
his
this
is
where
we're
at
talking
with
even
the
planning
committee
in
Minneapolis.
There
was
always
talk
of
it.
AP
This
is
a
dangerous
situation.
You
know,
do
you?
Have
you
been
speaking
with
the
current
owner?
This
is
because
there
could
be
an
explosion,
or
so
it
is
a
dangerous
situation.
What's
going
on
there
right
now,
and
this
I
think
this
is
a
great
win-win
for
everybody
and
I.
Just
really
hope
that
that
you
guys
will
approve
it.
I
ask
for
your
support
and
approval
in
and
that's
all
I've
got
for
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
It's
been
a
long
one
tonight,
I
think
and
I
appreciate
it.
A
AA
Just
have
to
say
that
I
love
the
Beltrami
Neighborhood
Association,
the
last
time
I
heard
from
you
was
with
the
application
across
the
street.
From
this
application
and
I
have
told
several
people
the
story
of
just
the
breath
of
fresh
air
that
you
brought
to
welcoming
people
to
your
neighborhood
and
working
with
developers.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
that
great.
AC
Yes,
yeah
I'm
gonna
move
to
actually
approve
the
rezoning
application,
I'm
kind
of
surprised
now,
remaining
staff
I
have
a
really
amazing
staff
person
assigned
to
you
so
I'm.
Actually,
finding
myself
surprised
that
I'm
opposing
the
recommendation
but
I'm
I
think
that
the
amendment
to
the
zoning
is
consistent
with
the
upcoming
comp
plan.
I
think
that
it
just
makes
sense,
especially
seeing
the
map
that
you're
expected
a
good
job,
showing
context
in
terms
of
what
the
neighborhood
is
and
the
various
r5
dots
that
are
across
there
and
I.
AC
Don't
think
it's
inconsistent
where
it
is.
I
also
think
that
it's
in
the
public's
interest,
given
the
contamination
cleanup
that
needs
to
occur
and
the
ability
to
do
so
otherwise,
which
kind
of
leads
me
to
also
I,
think
that
there
are
not
reasonable
uses
of
the
property
under
the
existing
zoning.
Just
simply
because
of
the
cost
of
cleanup,
so
I
think
that
those
are
the
findings.
I
would
use
to
support
a
rezoning
to
that
all.
A
Right
Thank
You
Commissioner
will
appear
so
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
item
a
the
rezoning
I
should
point
out
since
the
new
2040
comp
plan
isn't
quite
in
effect,
yet
we
should
try
to
focus
our
findings
on
the
current
comp
plan,
so
I
might
add
just
in
terms
of
finding
number
one.
The
consistency
of
the
proposal
with
the
policies
of
the
Comprehensive
Plan,
the
property
is
located
just
a
block
off
of
East
Hennepin
Avenue,
which
is
a
community
corridor.
A
So,
given
that
proximity
I
think
our
for
zoning
is
appropriate
here,
Commissioner
Lukey
Pierre
outlined
nicely
the
public
interest
component,
finding
number
two
related
to
the
environmental
cleanup
and
also
weather
finding
number
three.
Whether
existing
uses
of
the
property
are
compatible
with
the
proposed
zoning
classification,
whether
the
let
me
read
that
to
make
sure
I'm
characterizing
that
correctly,
that
has
to
do
with
with
the
compatibility
of
the
proposed
zoning
classification
in
this
neighborhood.
There
are
a
variety
of
different
building
types:
housing
types,
zoning
classifications.
A
There
is
higher
our
zoning
within
a
block
of
here
also,
as
commissioner
Luke
EPR
pointed
out.
There's
an
industrial
building
currently
on
the
site,
which
really
would
make
it
difficult
to
reuse
for
permitting
uses
under
the
current
are
to
be
something
district.
So
before
we
go
too
much
farther
along.
Is
there
a
second
for
that
option?
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second.
Is.
A
G
A
Y
President
Brown
I
don't
have
any
recommended
conditions
for
item
B
the
front
yard
setback
varies
and
I'd
also
like
to
clarify
the
balconies
that
are
in
the
the
required
yards
do
not
meet
the
threshold
for
an
obstruction,
so
they're
actually
permitted
obstructions
based
on
their
size
and
their
projection
area.
So
you
wouldn't
need
to
amend
the
action
based
on
that
for
item
C,
the
variants
to
reduce
the
minimum
lot
area.
Y
We
are
recommending
a
condition
that
a
deed
restriction,
restrictive
covenant
or
equivalent
mechanism
be
filed
to
ensure
the
longevity
of
the
affordable
units
to
ensure
they
qualify
for
the
floor
area
density
bonus.
So
that
does
any
bonus
is
critical
for
them
to
get
to
the
19
units
allowed
per
acre
instead
of
16
I'm.
Sorry
per
lot
for
the
lot
area
instead
of
16.
N
AC
Before
I
make
a
motion,
I
do
have
a
question
for
the
architect
in
relation
to
that
I.
Don't
guarantee
the
front
yard
back
time
right
so
I'm
running
here
from
staff
that
this
has
to
do
with
ground-level
patios.
You
have
and
I
was
just
curious
why
there
are
three,
but
not
a
fourth
one
it
for
the
corner
unit.
Just
I
mean
if
it's
an
important
amenity.
AC
K
AL
AC
AL
AC
AC
Just
curious
because
I
think
that
outdoor
spaces
are
an
extension
of
living
spaces
and
I
think
that
since
it's
a
residential
setting,
it
helps
kind
of
break
down
the
scale
in
terms
of
providing
some
provider
that
it's
screen
appropriately
some
privacy,
but
some
sense
of
neighborhood
connection,
so
I
find
that
actually
really
incredibly
consistent
with
what
we
try
to
do
in
our
city.
So
can
I
just
kind
of
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
you
know.
AC
AL
AC
AQ
AC
AC
These
shrubs
for
privacy
and
the
exploration
of
a
possible
for
patio
is
possible,
but
if
not
alert
the
staff
and
I
believe
it
is
using
the
property
in
a
reasonable
manner,
especially
given
the
neighborhood
residential
context
as
well
as
that,
it
won't
alter
the
essential
character
of
the
locality
and
in
fact,
I'll
actually
make
it
more
consistent
with
their
homes.
On
the
block.
Y
May
I
ask
a
clarifying
question:
please:
yes,
in
the
site
plan
review,
suggested
conditions,
there's
a
specific
condition
related
to
limiting
the
height
of
the
shrubs
that
are
in
the
required
front
yard,
particularly
those
next
two
windows
and
along
the
ground
floor.
So
if
you
could
specify
the
height
that
you're
looking
for
for
the
shrubbery
or
screening
I,
think
that
would
be
helpful.
I
would
think
30.
AC
T
A
Right
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
item,
be
the
front
setback,
variance
with
a
condition
related
to
patio
screening.
So
a
motion
and
a
second
any
discussion
on
that.
No
more
discussion.
So
we
have
again
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
item
B,
the
front
yard.
It's
setback,
variance
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll.
X
AC
That's
keeping
with
the
spirit
and
intent
of
the
ordinance
and
comp
plan,
especially
given
our
close
for
affordable
housing
and
given
the
really
strong
neighborhood
support
for
this
I
think
that
it
it
speaks
to
the
to
its
ability
to
actually
provide
blend
in
with
the
neighborhood
context,
and
also
I
just
want
to
say
at
this
opportunity
that
I
think
this
goes
to
show
what
good,
authentic
engagement
with
a
community
and
neighborhood
group
can
result
in
when
it
comes
to
projects
like
this.
That
might
not
otherwise
be
viewed
as
successfully
as
this
one.
A
A
K
AC
Right
well,
I
will
move
approval
of
flight
plan
review,
including
the
eight
stated
conditions
provided
by
staff
and
I
will
say
actually
including
condition
three.
Regarding
the
blank
wall
provision
I
am
a
blank
wall
stickler,
as
we
heard
earlier
tonight,
so
I
think
you
need
to
find
some
way
to
incorporate
some
interest
into
that
North
facade,
so
I.
A
AD
AD
A
Motion
carries.
That
concludes
our
discussion
on
item
11.
Our
final
item
for
consideration
tonight
as
pate
a
minute
12
102
through
128
North.
First
Street
staff
is
mr.
an
hour
and
I
believe
may
be
the
person
who
wanted
to
speak
on
this
has
left.
So
she
just
double-check.
If
there's
anyone
else
who
wanted
to
speak
on
item
well
and
if
there
is
no
one
here,
we
can
have
really
a
very
brief
overview.
I
think
just.
AQ
A
Sounds
good:
are
there
any
questions
for
staff
on
this
one?
If
not
I
will
very
briefly
open
the
public
hearing
just
to
make
sure
there's?
No
one
else
would
like
to
speak
on
this
item
and,
if
not
I
will
close
the
public
hearing.
Commissioners
we
have
five
applications,
would
so
like
to
make
a
motion
on
those
yeah,
perhaps
all
at
once,
Commissioner
my.
AD
Green
I'll
say
since
we're
talking
about
it.
This
is
actually
a
pretty
cool
project.
It
did
improve
a
lot
between
a
committee
of
the
whole
now,
thanks
for
getting
rid
of
the
weird
Illuminati
symbols
that
were
all
along
the
base
and
I
think
it's
really
interesting
what
you
did
with
all
the
ground
floor
units
in
the
retail
space.
It
looks
good
all.
