Good
afternoon,
commissioners,
my
name
is
Rob's
Galecki
I'm,
a
city
planner
in
the
historic
preservation
section
c-pod
I'm,
presenting
a
designation
study
for
your
comments
today.
The
subject
property
is
joyce
memorial,
methodist
church
located
at
12:19
West
31st
Street
in
the
South
Uptown
neighborhood.
G
G
The
future
land
use
of
the
property
has
identified
as
urban
neighborhood
in
the
Minneapolis
2040
comprehensive
plan.
The
area
is
currently
low
density,
residential
ordered
to
the
west
by
medium
density
and
some
high-density
residential
with
nearby
commercial
uses,
mainly
along
the
Hennepin
Avenue
corridor,
which
is
two
blocks
to
the
west,
as
well
as
the
lake
Street
corridor,
which
is
a
block
to
the
north.
The
proposed
designation
would
have
no
impact
on
the
use
of
the
subject
property
and
would
support
the
identified
future
land
use
for
the
area
slide.
G
The
future
built
formed
for
the
properties
and
is
identified
as
interior
2
in
Minneapolis
2040.
The
proposed
designation
would
have
minimal
impact
on
the
built
form
of
the
subject:
property.
The
property
is
an
existing
church
that
is
much
taller
than
two
and
a
half
stories
which
is
the
height
limit
in
interior
to
build
form
district.
However,
the
church
has
been
presence
on
the
parcel
since
1907
and
the
property
would
remain
non-conforming
in
height.
That
is,
the
property
does
not
exist
within
the
boundaries
of
a
small
area
plan
or
development
plan
adopted
by
the
City
Council.
G
It's
also
important
to
state
that
the
current
property
owner
has
noted
interest
in
developing
the
property
as
a
multiple
family.
Residential
building,
landmark
designation
would
promote
the
history
of
choice,
Memorial
Methodist
Church
relayed
through
its
unique
California,
Mission,
Revival
style
architecture
and
as
an
emblematic
example
of
master
architects,
downs
and
EADS,
who
were
known
for
creating
significant
revival.
Styles.
At
that
time,
the
designation
will
preserve
a
rare
piece
of
the
city's
architectural
history
in
an
area
that
experiences
significant
development
pressures.
G
The
following
policies
of
Minneapolis
2040
would
apply
to
the
designation
of
joyce
memorial,
methodist
church
policy
90
to
identify
and
evaluate
historic
resources.
The
California
mission
Revival
style
is
not
currently
represented
in
the
body
of
Minneapolis
is
locally
designated
historic
resources.
The
property
has
been
identified
as
the
city's
best
example
of
a
church
that
retains
and
conveys
significance
to
this
particular
style
next
slide.
Please.
G
Policy
number
60,
intrinsic
value
of
properties,
joyce
memorial,
methodist
church
is
the
only
intact
california
Mission
Revival
style
church
in
the
city
designation
would
allow
for
protection,
increased
awareness,
appreciation
intrinsic
and
potential
economic
value
of
a
unique
piece
of
the
city's
architectural
history
and
also
policy

stewarding,
historic

Local
historic
designation
would
encourage
their
attention
and
added
reuse
of
a
significant
community
resource
and
ensure
guided
change
to
the
property
under
the
Secretary
of
Interior
standards
for
rehabilitation.

Good
evening,
commissioners
I
am
Andrea
Birkin
I
am
the
supervisor
for
the
historic
preservation
team
in
seep
head
and
I
am
here
presenting
also
another
designation
study.
Although
this
time
for
a
historic
district
in
the
Lyndhurst
neighborhood,
it
is
the
Lyndhurst
residential,
historic
district
and
I
would
be
interested
in
receiving
any
comment
have
either
in
support
or
and
not
support
of
this
district
next
slide.
Please.
L
In
july
2019
the
Heritage
Preservation
Commission
placed
a
portion
of
the
East
area
in
Lyndhurst
neighborhoods
under
interim
protection
as
a
potential
historic
district.
After
denying
the
demolition
of
a
property
at
4632,
Emerson
Avenue
south.
After
serving
the
study
area,
a
local
historic
preservation
consultant
new
history
prepared
a
designation
study
that
was
completed
in
February
of
2020.
The
study
area
surveyed
by
the
consultant
was
bound
is
bounded
by
42nd
Street
West
on
the
north
48th
Street
West
on
the
south,
Dukan
Avenue
south
on
the
east
and
East
Lake
Harriet
Parkway
on
the
west.
L
The
study,
however,
recommends
a
smaller
historic
boundary,
a
46th
Street
West
on
the
north
DuPont
Avenue
south
on
the
East
48th
Street
West
on
the
south
and
both
sides
of
Fremont
Avenue
south
on
the
west
of
the
Lyndhurst
neighborhood.
Only
during
the
study,
it
became
evident
that
the
properties
north
of
46th
Street
West,
were
larger
in
size
and
had
more
infill
construction
and
substantial
alterations
next
slide.
Please,
the
Lyndhurst
residential
historic
district
consists
of
66
homes
built
between
1893
and
1937.
L
The
area
encompasses
homes
that
initially
made
up,
what's
called
the
colony,
which
were
nine
families
that
settled
on
land
sold
by
Charles,
Loring
and
built
homes
consisting
of
a
costing
at
least
$3,000.
The
colony
remained
relatively
isolated
until
after
1905,
when
additional
development
was
spurred
by
the
arrival
of
the
automobile.
The
city's
emerging
upper-middle
class
chose
popular
architects
to
design
their
homes
in
various
period
revival.
Styles
linden,
trees
covered
the
area
and
the
Lots
were
large
enough
to
fit
a
large
home
in
a
separate
garage.
L
L
The
Stork
district
has
significance
under
three
local
criteria:
criterion
3
for
its
large
Lots
mix
of
architectural
styles,
popular
with
middle
class
and
the
late
19th
and
early
20th
centuries,
as
well
as
similarities
in
setback
scale
massing.
The
district
features
key
character,
defying
elements
of
the
neighborhood
criterion
for
for
its
variety
of
period,
Revival
architecture,
styles
that
were
popular
during
this
time.
L
Next
slide,
please,
as
well
as
criterion
5
for
its
development
pattern
as
an
early
automobile
suburb
with
large
Lots,
lined
with
linden
trees
and
with
houses
sharing
similar
size
scale,
architectural
language
massing
and
setbacks
under
minneapolis
2040,
the
districts
identified
as
urban
neighborhood
for
teacher
land-use
and
his
interior,
one
in
the
built
form
overlay.
The
designation
of
Lyndhurst
would
have
no
impact
on
the
use
of
the
properties
and
would
have
minimal
impact
on
the
built
form
of
the
property's
interior,
one
guiding
building
heights
between
one
and
two
and
a
half
stories
next
slide.
Please.
L
Three
policies
of
minneapolis
2040
would
apply
to
the
designation
of
Lyndhurst
policy.
Sixty
Lyndhurst
district
represents
one
of
the
highest
concentration
of
houses
which
retain
historic
and
tawdry
in
the
body
of
city,
minneapolis,
designated
properties
demonstrating
the
value
of
intact
historic
neighborhoods
policy.
92
Minneapolis
doesn't
have
a
historic
district,
quite
like
Lyndhurst
among
its
18,
currently
designated
districts.
It's
distinct
because
it
represents
a
concentration
of
middle-class
homes
and
popular
period
revival.
L
Styles:
the
development
of
the
district
was
dependent
on
the
increased
accessibility
of
the
automobile
to
middle-class
buyers,
as
the
development
was
not
located
near
streetcar
lines
and
then
policy
93,
given
the
high
degree
of
historic
integrity
in
Lyndhurst
designation,
will
encourage
the
maintenance
and
preservation
of
the
houses
within
its
boundaries.
Next
slide.
Please.
L
The
designation
will
preserve
the
unique
architectural
styles,
large
Lots
setbacks
and
character
the
historic
district,
and
will
encourage
the
retention
of
the
houses
of
the
same
vintage
in
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
thus
demonstrating
the
effect
of
the
designation
on
the
surrounding
area.
As
such,
see
pet
is
recommending
the
Lyndhurst
residential
historic
district
for
local
designation.
L
Complex,
has
significance
under
three
local
criteria
and
maintains
excellent
integrity.
The
State
Historic
Preservation
Office,
has
concurred
with
seedpods
recommendation
in
their
letter
from
last
week.
I
am
open
to
your
comments,
either
in
support
or
not
for
the
district.
Thank
you
very
much
else
also
for
any
questions.
D
I,
don't
think
staff
for
this
presentation.
It's
exciting
to
see
these
happening
throughout
the
city.
I
did
have
a
general
question
about
the
preparation
of
this
study
and
kind
of
wondering
if
this
was
initiated
by
the
city
or
if
this
was
initiated
by
the
neighborhood
and/or
residents
of
the
area
and
what
that
could
potentially
mean
for
other
areas
in
this
city
that
could
easily
date
back
that
far
and
just
because
there
may
be
they're
unable
to
put
that
study
together.
They
will
not
get
that
designation,
so
I'm
just
kind
of
wondering
how
that
relationship
works.
L
Sure
this
study
actually
was
started
in
response
to
a
demolition
that
was
proposed
in
that
neighborhood.
So,
under
the
ordinance,
the
Heritage
Preservation
Commission
does
have
the
powers
to
stop
a
demolition
and
commence
the
designation
site,
and
so
when
that
happened
on
the
property
at
46
and
Emerson,
the
city
chose
to
fund
this
particular
designation
study
themselves.
Some
of
the
options
that
we
have
for
these
types
of
studies
is
either
staff
will
present.
L
Sometimes
if
it's
somebody
that,
on
the
like,
the
study,
you've
just
heard
from
Joyce
Memorial
Methodist
Church.
In
that
case,
the
developer
was
interested
in
designating
the
property,
so
they
commissioned
the
study
in
cases
where
the
city
steps
in
to
deny
demolition
and
commence
a
study
oftentimes.
We
will
put
the
bill
for
that
considering
it
was
our
choice
to
commence
that
study
in
terms
of
other
areas,
not
necessarily
having
the
funds
it's
kind
of
give
or
take
like
I,
said
oftentimes.
L
C
D
M
J
C
B
A
A
Projects
that
would
normally
be
reviewed
in
our
less
formal
khau
meetings,
but
we're
bringing
them
tonight
as
informational
items.
So
the
memos
that
were
prepared
for
you
ahead
of
time
are
you'll,
be
familiar
with
from
cow
and
focus
on
the
potential
applications
and
then
some
questions
that
were
looking
for
feedback
on
from
the
Commission
in
just.
B
A
A
A
The
site
is
currently
under
the
2040
plan
designated
for
public
office
and
institutional
uses
and
built
swarm
of
corridor
6.
The
portion
of
this
somewhat
larger
parcel
that
we'll
be
looking
at
is
directly
at
the
corner
of
Chicago,
Avenue
and
26th
streets.
Chicago
is
designated
as
a
goods
and
services
corridor
any
Neapolis
2014,
which
in
general,
supports
active
and
commercial
uses
next
slide.
Please.
A
So
this
is
an
image
of
the
proposal.
I'm
gonna,
let
the
applicant
handle
much
of
the
detail
about
the
design
and
how
it
relates
to
the
campus
as
a
whole,
but
essentially
Abbott
Northwestern
is
proposing
to
replace
the
existing
central
utility
plant
on
the
campus
and
construct
a
new
one
at
the
corner
of
26
in
Chicago.
The
current
central
utility
plant
is
located
just
behind
where
you
see
this
proposed
structure
so
a
little
bit
further
to
the
south
along
Chicago
Avenue.
A
So
the
applications
that
would
be
involved
in
this
are
conditional
use
permit
for
a
new
heating
and
cooling
facility,
a
conditional
use
permit
to
exceed
the
maximum
building
height
in
the
or3
district.
That's
primarily
due
to
the
height
of
the
cooling
tower.
That's
part
of
the
facility
variance
to
reduce
the
minimum
front
yard
along
Chicago
Avenue
from
15
feet
to
0
feet
a
variance
to
reduce
the
minimum
corner
side
yard
along
26
Street
from
15
to
zero
and
site
plan
review
next
slide.
A
This
is
an
image
that
kind
of
lays
out
the
first
floor
plan
and
again
we'll
get
more
detail
about
this
from
the
applicant
in
a
minute.
But
it
gives
you
an
idea
of
some
of
the
challenges
that
we're
looking
at
from
a
site
plan
review
perspective
with
a
central
utility
plant
located
in
such
a
prominent
corner
of
the
site.
A
Much
of
the
program,
as
you
can
imagine,
is
not
especially
active
or
conducive
to
activation
of
the
public
realm,
and
so
the
applicant
has
concentrated
as
much
of
the
active
space
in
the
form
of
office
space
along
Chicago
in
26th
at
the
corner
there,
and
that
would
be
where
the
principal
entrance
to
the
facility
would
be
located.
But
the
remainder
of
the
program
being
of
a
kind
of
sensitive
and
technical
nature
is
closed
to
the
outside
of
the
structure
and
largely
inactive
next
slide.
J
J
We
can
go
to
a
slide
number
two
which
says
they
NW
currently
so
I've
had
the
pleasure
to
lead
a
group.
That's
been
evaluating
the
avid
Northwestern
Campus
plans
for
the
future
for
the
next
few
years.
A
big
part
of
our
project
has
been
creating
structures
that
we'll
be
reliable
to
deliver
care
for
decades
to
come
with
our
koban
19.
Preparations
has
never
been
more
clear.
How
important
it
is
to
be
a
to
be
ready
for
anything
so
go.
You
can
advance
to
the
next
slide.
J
We've
got
two
projects
that
were
actually
three
projects
we're
going
to
talk
about.
Today
there
was
a
main
focus,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
left
side
of
the
plans,
there's
the
cup
layer
and
on
the
right-hand
side.
There's
the
transportation
of
both
of
these
are
fairly
essential
projects
for
our
campus.
The.
G
J
Utility
planets
were
to
place
a
lot
of
agent
equipment
that
will
be
essential
to
have
new
equipment
to
provide
reliability
for
our
campus.
The
transportation
hub
on
the
on
the
bottom
half
is
essentially
a
parking,
a
parking
ramp
with
some
active
space
on
the
ground
floor.
It's
important
in
that
you
can
see.
There's
a
green
box
near
over
our
current
ramp
on
our
main
parking
ramp.
We
made
a
commitment
to
our
neighborhood
many
years
ago
to
stay
within
our
current
boundaries,
so
essentially,
construction
on
our
campus
requires
tearing
something
down
to
build
something
else.
J
Services
such
as
our
operating
rooms
and
other
critical
care
service
next
slide
in
this
slide,
you
can
see
that
ramp,
one
is
down
and
then
there's
a
new
patient
care
tower
in
that
spot.
So
essentially,
these
two
projects
are
setting
the
stage
so
that
we
can
get
to
that
project
at
some
point
in
the
future
very
essential.
Our
campus
is
pretty
old.
We've
actually
been
on
the
site
since
1882.
J
It's
important
to
point
out
that,
in
addition
to
this
large
campus,
just
to
the
south
of
us,
our
corporate
office
lives
in
the
Midtown
exchange.
Building
they've
just
recently
updated
their
lease
to
2037.
So
we
have
a
pretty
big
presence
in
this
neighborhood
and
we
see
that
as
an
honor
and
also
responsibility
to
really
do
things
right
next
slide,
please
this.
So
this
part
of
this
process
is
we've
been
working
through
this.
For
the
last
few
years,
we've
had
a
lot
of
meetings
with
our
community
and
our
local
leaders.
J
We've
been
really
really
focused
on
being
transparent,
engaging
your
partners
and
really
learning
from
them.
So
we've
had
21
meetings
and
presentations
over
the
last
nine
months
with
a
lot
of
local
groups,
a
lot
of
local
leaders
and
we've
really
taken
their
input
to
heart
and
we
feel,
like
we've,
really
incorporated
their
input
into
these
designs.
As
Peter
said,
some
of
these
some
of
these
buildings
have
a
very
industrial
nature
to
them,
and
we've
worked
really
hard
to
to
have
something
that
will
look
good
in
our
neighborhoods
I'll.
F
Hi,
this
is
Mike
McCallum
I'm,
an
architectural
design
principle
with
hgr,
thanks
for
the
chance
to
walk
you
through
the
design
of
the
central
plant
as
abbott
approaches
project.
We
took
inspiration
from
this
Eero
Saarinen
quote
you
see
about
always
designing
by
considering
a
thing
in
its
next
larger
context.
In
that
spirit,
we
believe
it's
important
to
not
only
make
this
an
integral
part
of
their
Hospital
campus,
but
also
to
ensure
that
it
enhances
the
streetscape,
the
surrounding
neighborhood
and
the
overall
community
of
Minneapolis.
F
Our
intent
here
is
to
create
a
quietly,
elegant
and
functionally
efficient
design
that
anchors
and
complements
this
permanent
corner
of
the
medical
campus,
while
continuing
to
reflect
Elena's
high
quality
of
care.
Next
slide,
please,
these
images
of
the
Abbott
Northwestern
Hospital
campus
with
the
photo
at
the
top
center
shows
the
main
entry
port
looking
north
on
28th
Street,
actually
from
the
from
ramp
six.
F
F
The
challenge
is
to
achieve
Evans
desire
for
the
plant
to
have
a
positive
visual
impact,
but
not
so
much
that
it
itself
is
mistaken
as
a
patient
destination
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
while,
while
all
of
these
campus
buildings
form
a
diverse
set
of
architectural
expressions,
all
of
them
are
pretty
seamlessly
tied
together
by
a
single
material.
A
warm
reddish
blend
of
brick
that
carries
forward
a
comforting,
reassuring
identity
for
the
campus
next
slide.
Please.
F
So
this
image
shows
is
looking
south
on
Chicago
Avenue
at
the
intersection
with
26th
Street.
The
existing
six
story,
brick
building
you
see
at
the
corner,
is
the
Harriet
Walker
office,
building
it
and
the
education
building
just
to
its
left,
and
it's
actually
hidden
behind
that
tree
will
be
replaced
by
the
proposed
central
utility
plant.
F
The
existing
plant
is
a
very
simple
utilitarian
building,
with
a
long
horizontal
facade
with
few
openings
and
little
transparency.
It
is.
It
is,
however,
enlivened
by
this
pin
dot
pattern
of
bricks.
You
see
on
the
right.
These
pin
dots,
create
an
ever-changing
pattern
as
the
shadows
glide
across
the
red
brick,
and
really
enlighten
that
facade
throughout
the
day
next
slide.
F
F
It's
important
to
understand
how
the
interior
and
the
exterior
relate
to
one
another
so
that
the
building
is
simultaneously
designed
from
the
inside
out
as
well
as
the
outside
in
otherwise,
if
the
exterior
were
designed
in
a
vacuum
without
regard
for
the
interior
functions,
the
result
would
be
a
massive
box
with
little
interests
to
offer
the
hospital
campus
or
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
The
images
that
follow
here
will
will
illustrate
how
their
what
proposed
plant
is
functionally
organized
on
its
interior
next
slide.
F
So
this
is
that
same
image
we
saw
a
bit
ago
of
the
first
level
and
I
do
want
to
stress
that
this
new
plant
will
provide
heating,
cooling,
steam
electricity
and
emergency
power
to
the
entire
medical
campus.
On
the
first
level,
the
staff
space
is
shown
in
a
light
yellow
at
the
corner
of
Chicago
and
26
and
at
the
same
time,
immediately
adjacent
to
it,
but
behind
it
in
red,
you
can
see
the
space
for
the
emergency
generators.
F
Our
goal
is
to
open
up
that
corner
as
much
as
possible
with
floors
ceiling
glass
for
that
staff
space
you
see,
but
then
to
provide
substantial
buffering
to
minimize
any
acoustic
impact
from
the
generators
so
that
transparent
facade
of
the
staff
space
consists
nearly
entirely
a
glass
and
we've
recessed
it
to
provide
some
weather
protection
and
add
some
visual
interest
at
that
front
door.
Some
shadow
lines
next
slide,
please.
F
So
as
we
go
up
one
level
you
can
see,
the
hospital
has
chosen
to
invest
in
shelf
space
for
expected
growth
and
staff,
so
that
has
allowed
us
to
provide
even
more
floor-to-ceiling
glass
along
a
transparent,
cantilevered
spine
that
you
see
again
activating
the
corner.
The
floor-to-ceiling
glass
fine
pushes
itself
out
to
also
provide
some,
whether
shelter
and
to
break
down
the
scale
of
a
plant
next
slide.
Please.
The
third
level
is
the
top
level
top
and
close
levels
building.
F
It's
almost
entirely
electrical
equipment
at
this
point
with
other
equipment
off
toward
the
east
of
the
building.
Here,
the
you
can
see
we're
now
above
that
second
floor
glass
spine,
but
there
will
be
a
thin
horizontal
louver.
That
will
also
enhance
the
facade
and
break
down
the
scale
as
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
So
now
this
shows
the
entire
building
and
the
distribution
of
exterior
materials.
F
The
plant
functions
on
the
left
and
the
people
spaces
on
the
right
next
slide,
so
the
this
rendering
shows
the
ultimate
design
it.
It
refreshes
this
Northern
Gateway
to
have
its
campus
in
a
way
that
enhances
the
neighborhood
and,
through
its
dual
expressions
of
the
plant
and
the
people's
faces,
it
utilizes
the
chin
that
cladding
to
tie
it
back
to
the
campus,
while
it's
taught
metal
skin,
lightens
and
balances
the
overall
appearance
to
give
a
nod
to
the
future.
For
the
campus
thanks.
K
Mean
I
had
a
few
questions
for
the
applicants.
I
was
wondering
if
they
could
maybe
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
whether
or
not
any
of
the
functions
in
those
the
generator
spaces
and
electrical
floors
or
any
of
those
I
can
see
why
you
would
not
care
if
people
can
see
in
or
out
from
a
functional
standpoint,
but
any
is
anything
that
equipment
actually
light
sensitive
to
where
I'm
having
light
or
something
that
would
give
it
a
more
pedestrian
scale.
What
a
harm
the
equipment
or
is
it's
just
a.
K
J
Yeah,
so
the
most
of
the
equipment
is
not
light-sensitive
in
any
way,
some
of
its
sensitive
from
the
standpoint
of
it's
pretty
essential
emergency
equipment
for
our
hospitals.
So
we
have
extra
concerns
about
making
sure
it's
extra,
it's
extra,
secure
and
sort
of
fortified
from
the
outside,
whether
that
be
from
weather
or
anything
else,
so
know
that
the
answer
your
specific
question,
the
equipment
in
that
light,
sensitive,
a
lot
of
the
equipment,
does
have
light
on
all
night.
Long,
though,
store
sensitive
to
a
light
pollution
with
with
windows
around
the
equipment.
E
Okay,
there
we
go
yeah,
I,
have
a
question:
I
guess
a
comment
for
the
applicant
I'm.
Just
wondering
you
know
the
blank
wall
in
Chicago
is
my
primary
concern.
Is
there
any
way
you
could
just
redistribute
the
existing
office
space
to
make
that
whole
Chicago
front
active
while
maintaining
the
same
amount
of
square
footage
order
for
that
use?.
N
F
E
E
F
B
N
This
is
Zach
with
KFI
engineers.
Again
there
there
is.
While
there
are
some
that's
it's
from
the
structure.
There
are
requirements,
mechanical
requirements
of
the
equipment
that
is
driving
some
of
the
spacing
at
this
point,
but
we
can
certainly
look
at
seeing
if
it
is
a
possibility
and
report
back.
The.
N
K
Yes,
I
just
had
a
few
more
questions
for
the
applicant.
One
was
related
to
the
Saarinen
quote
you
had
or
the
beanie
a
presentation
that
was
in
regard
to
enhancing
the
streetscape
and
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
and
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
talk
just
a
little
bit
about
that,
because
it
seems
as
though
this
building
has
a
direct
relationship
to
your
campus,
maybe
with
an
updated
architectural
vocabulary,
but
it
didn't
seem
to
really
have
any
sort
of
enhancing
features
to
the
neighborhood.
F
N
F
We
feel
that
this
one,
the
proposed
plant
by
turning
to
the
corner
and
making
that
entire
facade,
where
the
ceiling
lab
and
having
the
cantilever
glass
fine
above
that
piece
for
to
ceiling
glass.
We
think
that
does
create
a
much
stronger
identity
and
accent
and
visual
interest
at
the
corner,
and
in
that
way,
we
think
going
from
the
existing
building
upon
a
sight
to
what
we're
proposing.
We
think
that
does
actually
open
up
the
facade
quite
a
bit.
K
K
It's
actually
it's
a
successful
massing
in
terms
of
how
you
balance
the
glass
and
the
brick
that
you
had,
but
I
think
that
the
larger
concern
that
we
have
is
that
we
rarely
allow
for
such
an
extensive
amount
of
blank
wall
and
I
and
so
I
think
I
would
like
to
know.
If
you
can
address
a
little
bit
about
what
can
we
go
one
for
up
higher,
so
it
shows
the
finish:
the
landing
it's
like
three
slides
after
this
I'm
wondering
about
what
the
pedestrian
experience
is
walking
along
both
streets
I.
K
K
So
I,
don't
really
think
it's
a
gateway.
I
do
think
you're
right
about
it
address
in
the
corner,
but
we
still
these
large
swaths
of
essentially
brick
fortress
a
wall
on
a
significant
imported.
The
building
that
faces
a
public
street
so
I'm
wondering
what
your
plans
are
to
mitigate
that
other
than
the
PennDOT
thing,
which
is
eat,
which
is
a
very
nice
texture
but
but
doesn't
really
get
to
the
whole.
K
Addressing
that
more
eyes
on
the
street
sense
of
safety
and
then
also,
if
you
could
maybe
outline
in
terms
of
the
campus
itself,
you
know
what
who
might
be
walking
past
this
building
from
where
and
to
determine.
You
know
whether
or
not
this
is
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
be
impacting
pedestrians
on
a
regular
basis,
or
is
this
more
of
almost
like
a
back
service
street
to
where
anyone
on
campus
won't
really
be
walking
I'm
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
of
this
facade?
F
Well,
as
far
as
relieving
the
scale
of
the
wall,
certainly
I
guess
the
brick
pattern
is
one
way
than
tributes
to
that
I
think,
but
more
than
that
and
really
in
combination
with
it.
A
slight
we
didn't
see
was
the
landscape
plan
and
it
is
our
intent
to
have
landscaping
of
a
hole
on
both
of
those
brick
facades
that
you
see
on
Chicago
and
on
26,
and
in
fact,
for
the
for
the
facade
on
26.
K
And,
what's
what's
across
the
street,
from
where
those
openings
would
be,
though
that
would
you
know
receive
that
light
pollution,
so
I'm
thinking
of
a
hospital
campus,
it's
kind
of
a
24/7
kind
of
environment
anyway,
I
mean
granted
more
busy
during
the
day,
but
emergencies
happen
a
lot.
Workers
are
coming
and
going
so
what
are
their
houses
what's
directly
across
from
these
facades?
That
would
be
impacted
by
that.
K
O
O
The
I
agree,
though,
about
these
blank
walls
and
I'm,
not
sure
that,
as
rendered
there's
sufficient
mitigation
for
me
in
it,
I
tend
to
not
not
be
the
biggest
believer
in
the
green
wall
as
a
substitute
for
that,
and
so
I
I
agree
that
particularly
along
the
Chicago
Avenue
frontage.
There's
a
bus
stop
there.
So
there
will
be
people
there.
I
would
like
to
see
something
other
than
that
blank
wall,
again
understanding
that
this
is
an
institutional
that
this.
This
has
to
go
somewhere
and
we
understand
that.
O
B
D
Thank
you
and
I
kind
of
share
the
same
concerns
with
not
being
hundred
percent
satisfied
with
a
blank
wall
solution,
especially
considering
the
weather
and
how
that
green
will
not
be
green
for
half
of
the
year
anyway.
So
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
permanent
solution
and
I'm,
hoping
that
the
applicant
can
come
up
with
additional
mitigation
strategies
for
the
blank
wall
concern,
but
also,
if
the
green
panel
or
vine
or
whatever
it
is
going
to
end
up
on
that
wall.
F
K
K
Do
you,
peas,
that
are
being
requested,
I'm
wondering
what
the
setback
fairness
amount
is:
I,
didn't
I'm
scrolling
back
at
4:13
pages,
so
I
don't
have
it
off
the
top
of
my
head,
I'm
hoping
it's
enough
to
allow
for
the
applicant
mentioned
the
landscaping
plans
that
aren't
shown
I
hope
it's
substantial
enough
to
make
that
more
of
a
pedestrian
friendly
environment,
so
I'll
leave
it
to
them
to
communicate
with
staff
I
guess
for
next
time.
We
see
this
to
remain
convinced.
The
one
thing
that
I
guess
I'd
like
to
see
I,
know
we're.
K
You
know:
Commissioner
Sweezy
brought
up
a
good
point.
This
is
an
institutional
building
and
it's
a
necessity.
Generators
are
necessary,
I'm
wondering
rather
than
thinking
in
terms
of
grandiose
gestures
of
ways.
You
could
impact
this
facade.
If
you
could
almost
how
you
considered
that
pinprick
brick
patterning
it's
as
a
texture,
could
you
think
of
something
just
even
at
the
first
floor
level
that
would
maybe
make
smaller
punched
openings
in
your
masonry
facade.
That
way
to
a
pedestrian,
it
wouldn't
feel
like
you're
walking
along
this
four-story
Mont.
K
You
know
monolithic
wall,
I,
I
think
that
that
maybe
would
be
the
tiny
gesture.
There
might
be
enough,
in
my
mind,
to
kind
of
balance
the
two:
the
fact
that
it's
an
industrial
purpose
with
the
fact
that
it's
so
harsh
as
a
human
being
at
that
scale.
So
could
you
talk
about
that?
Just
a
little
bit,
I.
F
Yes,
the
space
along
26th
Street
would
look
into
some
fairly
substantial
volumes,
which
I
think
would
be
interesting
along
Chicago,
Avenue,
they're,
fairly
small
and
I
think
my
concern
there
just
might
be
a
little
bit
of
the
noise
pollution
in
addition
to
life,
but
I
think
we
can
certainly
look
at
a
way
to
articulate
that
brick
and
perhaps
create
some
openings
if
it's
acceptable
to
the
technology.
That's
behind
those
walls,
I
think.
K
They'd
be
interesting
and
I
think
maybe
even
just
selecting
views,
because
the
reality
is
most
people
in
their
lifetimes
will
visit
a
hospital,
but
not
very
many
likes.
You
know
of
all
of
the
nuts
and
bolts
that
go
into
making
it
work.
So
it's
almost
it
an
interesting
way
to
remind
people
that
it
takes
a
lot
more
than
what
they
see
to
make
this
happen.
So
I
would
encourage
pursuing
that,
at
least
in
my
personal
opinion,
I
don't
know
if
my
other
commissioners
feel
the
same
way.
B
Not
seeing
any
you
know,
I'll
just
to
sum
up,
we've
got,
you
know
said
the
blank
walls
taking
up
a
fair
amount
of
discussion
here,
and
you
know
whether
that's
looking
at
redistributing
some
of
those
office
spaces
and
more
active
spaces.
So
they
continue
to
hold
the
corner,
are
moving
those
on
the
Chicago
Avenue,
but
moving
the
spaces
from
26th
on
to
Chicago
Avenue.
If
possible
and.
B
Happening
inside
the
building
as
a
way
of
creating
some
interest,
you
know
and
I
would
I
guess
add
a
personal
note
I.
You
know
this.
This
is
an
important
institutional
use.
I
think
that
there
are
ways
of
literally
stepping
up
all
these
buildings
work
in
the
urban
context
and
thinking
of
the
building,
not
just
as
a
vessel
but
as
kind
of
a
art
in
these
times,
when
you
need
something
that
is.
B
A
Thank
you.
The
next
project
that
we're
gonna
look
at
is
just
down
Chicago
to
the
south
from
the
central
utility
plant.
This
is
that
2801
Chicago,
Avenue
and
we'll
be
looking
at,
in
addition
to
of
a
very
significant
addition
to
an
existing
parking
garage
with
some
additional
active
uses,
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
A
A
A
A
The
facility
will
add
a
significant
amount
of
new
parking
to
the
campus.
However,
it
is
also
I
believe
designed
to
replace
some
of
the
parking
that
will
be
lost
with
that
ramp,
that's
being
demolished
to
make
way
for
new
medical
facilities
at
the
center
of
the
campus,
which
we
saw
earlier
in
the
summary
of
the
master
plan
next
slide.
A
So
the
applications
associated
with
this
project
are
conditional
use
permits
for
principal
parking
facility
conditional
use
permit
to
exceed
the
maximum
building
height
in
the
O
r3
district.
That's
to
go
from
six
stories
to
eight
stories,
variance
to
the
maximum
floor
area
ratio
from
three
point:
five
to
six
point:
eight:
five:
a
variance
to
reduce
the
minimum
front
yard
along
Chicago
Avenue
and
the
or3
from
15
feet
to
5
feet;
variance
to
reduce
the
minimum
rear
yard
along
the
east
property
line
from
15
feet
to
zero
feet
and
then
site
plan
review
next
slide.
Please.
A
So
I've
just
marked
up
this
rendering
to
illustrate
some
of
the
issues
that
staff
is
seeking
feedback
on
from
the
Commission.
With
regard
to
this
project
site
plan
review
standards,
which
were
recently
adopted
and
amended
for
parking
garages
call
for
active
uses,
not
just
at
the
ground
floor
which
had
been
our
policy
for
a
long
time,
but
also
along
the
entire
elevations
fronting
along
public
streets.
A
A
So
it's
not
like
a
direct
bicycle
ramp
as
exists
a
little
bit
further
to
the
east
of
here
on
Hennepin
County
property
and
then
a
little
bit
further
to
the
west
of
here
onto
Park
in
Portland's,
but
that
parcel
that's
currently
owned
by
the
city
and
which
is
guided
for
parks
and
open
space
does
provide
some
opportunity
to
think
through
that
as
a
possibility.
Next
slide.
M
M
So
the
project
site
is
located
at
the
south
end
of
the
Abbott
Northwestern
Hospital
campus,
it's
south
of
28th,
Street
and
east
of
Chicago,
and
just
north
of
the
Midtown
Greenway
as
Peter,
was
sharing
with
us
the
right
image
on
this
slide.
It
shows
an
aerial
of
the
existing
site,
which
is
comprised
of
a
surface
parking
lot,
and
some
access
drives
one
of
the
drives
at
the
north
side.
M
M
Just
for
context
again,
the
Midtown
Greenway
is
directly
south
or
to
the
right
of
the
project
site
in
that
yellow,
dashed
line
type
then
across
the
Midtown
Greenway
is
the
Sheraton
Hotel
and
south
of
that
is
the
Metro
Transit
Chicago
Lake
bus
transit
center
and
then
you'll
see
the
Midtown
Exchange
Building.
That's
to
the
right
of
this
image,
just
a
little
south
and
east
of
our
site
next
slide.
Please.
M
Here's
a
schematic
plan
for
the
ground
level
of
the
transportation
hub
ramp
7.
The
new
facility
is
shown
in
color
in
the
existing
layout
for
ramp.
6
is
on
the
left
side
shown
in
grey
again.
North
is
to
the
left
on
the
graphic,
so
these
two
ramps
will
ultimately
function
as
one
transportation
hub,
and
you
can
see
in
green
on
the
right
side
of
that
image
that
the
existing
truck
dock
will
be
maintained
under
ramp.
7
and
you'll
see
that
the
existing
access
in
blue
to
ramp
6
will
be
maintained.
M
M
The
architecture
here
really
draws
in
a
lot
of
different
environments
that
are
happening
at
this
corner
of
the
campus,
which
include,
obviously,
the
green
landscape
of
the
Midtown
Greenway,
while
successfully
activating
the
frontage
along
Chicago,
Avenue
and
really
creating
a
cohesive
feel
between
the
two
facilities,
which
will
ultimately
now
be
one
transportation
hub,
you'll
notice.
In
this
image
you
see
the
the
truck
leaving
the
truck
loading
facility
in
the
access
point
closest
to
us
that
now
that
that
existing
loading
dock
is
covered,
it's
really
screened
from
view.
M
So
it
really
does
a
great
job
of
kind
of
softening
this
corner
of
campus,
while
bringing
in
the
Greenway
and
activating
the
street
frontage
next
slide.
Please
in
this
imagery
zoomed
in
just
a
little
bit
closer
to
the
west
side
of
the
transportation
hub.
So
this
is
the
activated
space
on
the
ground
floor.
M
The
top
image
is
looking
northeast
and
the
bottom
image
is
looking
southeast
towards
the
same
area
of
the
facade
on
that
West
face
the
space
between
the
entrance
into
the
transportation
hub,
which
is
noted
parking
entry
in
the
southern
image.
The
lower
image
here
will
in
in
that
located
between
the
truck
loading
dock
access
to
the
south
will
really
be
the
active
office
and
retail
space.
M
We
really
want
this
space
to
be
a
real,
meaningful
part
of
the
community,
and
for
that
reason
we've
been
very
intentional
about
who
might
occupy
this
space,
we're
actually
in
active
conversations
with
several
prospective
tenants,
including
the
Greenway
coalition
and
our
streets
Minneapolis,
who
have
both
responded
very
positively
to
the
idea
of
being
in
this
space.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that
next
slide.
Please.
M
M
To
address
the
intent
of
the
zoning
requirement
that
the
top
level
of
the
parking
area
be
screened
as
viewed
from
above
the
top
level
of
ramp
7
will
be
screened
with
a
roof
which
also
screens
part
of
ramp
6,
most
of
ramp,
6
I,
should
say,
as
viewed
from
the
highest
habitable
floor
of
the
Midtown
exchange
building,
which
is
located
to
the
southeast
of
our
site.
So
you
can
kind
of
see
in
the
image
that
we've
provided.
M
As
Peter
explained
really
well,
the
transportation
hub
is
located
immediately
north
of
the
Midtown
Greenway.
The
the
graphic
right
here
below
the
text
on
this
slide
shows
approximately,
where
the
transportation
hub
sits.
With
regard
to
many
of
the
connections
to
the
Midtown
Greenway
in
the
media
area,
the
image
on
the
right
shows
just
a
few
of
those
existing
connections
that
exist
within
a
few
blocks
of
the
transportation
hub.
One
of
the
existing
connections,
as
Peter
mentioned,
is
a
connection
to
the
Chicago
to
Chicago
Avenue,
which
is
directly
south
of
the
project
site.
M
So
being
that,
so
many
existing
connections
already
existed
to
city
streets,
the
design
team
were
reviewing
different
options
to
improve
the
connectivity
to
the
Midtown
Greenway
and
that
important
asset
and
as
we're
identifying
different
options.
Really,
the
focus
was
to
improve
the
experience
and
the
existing
connectivity
for
bikers
to
avid
northwestern
through
the
free
wheeled
bike
shop,
which
is
located
on
the
Midtown,
Greenway
and
I'll.
Show
you
exactly
where
that's
at
on
the
next
slide.
Next
slide.
Please.
M
M
This
facade
will
be
made
up
of
perforated
metal
panel,
which
are
shown
in
gray
some
limited
amounts
of
precast
shown
beige
in
color
to
break
up
the
metal
panel
and
then
border
the
vegetated
wall
system,
which
will
include
planters
and
climbing
vines
to
create
a
green
wall
that
will
really
pull
in
the
aesthetic
of
the
Midtown
Greenway
and
soften
and
break
up
this
elevation
next
slide.
Please.
M
The
West
facade,
which
faces
Chicago
Avenue,
this
elevation
will
be
comprised
of
metal
panel
and
precast
to
pull
in
some
of
the
architecture.
Components
of
the
South
facade
but
meld.
The
existing
architectural
approach
of
ramp
sticks
into
ramp.
Seven
to
create
one
cohesive
approach
on
this
elevation
next
slide.
Please,
and
lastly,
here
is
the
North
elevation,
which
is
adjacent
to
or
directly
south
of,
28th
Street.
M
The
approach
to
this
elevation
is
to
leave
much
of
the
north
side
of
the
existing
structure
in
its
existing
condition
and
add
metal
panel
to
the
north
side
of
the
expanded
levels
of
ramp,
six,
which
are
two
levels
above
and
level
eight
and
the
roof
of
ramp,
seven,
which
are
shown
beyond
in
the
lighter
gray
again.
This
will
create
a
cohesive
architectural
approach
for
the
entire
facility
and,
lastly,
we'll
end
on
the
rendering
again,
looking
at
the
south
east,
south
west,
sorry
corner
of
the
transportation
hub,
take
any
questions.
K
Hi
so
I
have
a
few
questions
and
they
kind
of
jump
all
over.
So
sorry
about
that
in
advance,
so
number
one
on
the
South
facade
you
mentioned,
there's
a
perforated
metal
panel
I'm
just
wondering
what
is
the
patterning
of
it?
Is
this
just
a
generic
grid,
or
is
this
some
sort
of
overall
larger
vision?
We've
been
seeing
a
lot
of
different
textures
being
introduced
into
facades
this
way
in
recent
projects,
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
have
selected
that
yet
or
if
then
it's
not
not
something
you're
exploring.
M
Yeah,
thank
you.
The
Commissioner
will
keep
here,
yeah
we're
we're
still
looking
at
the
perforation
panel
of
perforation
pattern
and
sizes.
Obviously,
from
up
from
a
openness
standpoint,
we
need
to
maintain
openness
of
the
parking
facility,
but
at
this
point
we
haven't
necessarily
assess
different
patterning
associated
with
the
metal
panel
itself.
At
this
point,
it's
been
proposed
to
be
more
of
a
consistent
pattern
of
openings.
K
Okay,
I
mean
I,
think
I
would
be
I'd,
be
interested
here
at
my
fellow
commissioners.
Think
of
the
green
wall,
climbing
wall
thing
going
on,
but
almost
as
an
artistic
element
as
well
just
to
kind
of
make
the
whole
facade
interesting,
especially
given
our
current
appreciation
for
the
medical
workers
and
first
responders,
who
are
there
just
might
be
an
interesting
opportunity
for
art
in
a
not
loud
way.
So
there's
that
now.
Secondly,
you
mentioned
there's
an
18
foot
wide
sidewalk
along
the
street
and
I
was
just
wondering
again.
K
Okay
and
I
guess
I'd
be
curious.
If
that's,
if
there's
a
planting
plan
or
strategy
along
that
Avenue,
that
should
be
consistent
that
way
or
whether
it
be
nicer
to
kind
of
green
it
up
a
little
bit
leading
to
the
Greenway
but
I'll
leave
that
to
staff
discussion.
I
did
have
a
question
about
the
distance
of
the
curb
cuts.
How
wide
are
they
in
terms
of
a
pedestrian
having
to
cross
them
at
those
two
locations,
both
the
loading
and
the
and
the
vehicular
areas.
D
M
K
And
I
think
you
can
probably
talk
about
staff
a
little
bit
too
about
in
in
when
we
see
other
projects
with
whit's
this
expanse
of
it.
It
helps
to
have
some
sort
of
breathing
space
at
a
midpoint
or
some
point
in
there
for
pedestrians,
or
you
know
that
it's
big
enough
for
a
person
pushing
maybe
a
stroller
or
wheelchair
to
get
sanctuary
or
a
respite
in
the
40
feets
a
lot
to
cross.
K
M
E
E
M
This
parking
structure
will
fulfill
the
needs
of
the
campus
through
approximately
2026
as
we're
currently
projecting
them,
and
that's
with
Elena's
commitment
to
reducing
single
occupancy
vehicles.
Campus-Wide,
which
is,
is
the
reason
Allina
is
so
very
committed
to
increasing
the
amount
of
bicycle
usage
and
other
alternative
mobility
options
or
they're,
both
their
customers
and
their
patients,
as
well
as
their
staff.
M
E
Thank
you
one
other
question,
so
the
bicycle
storage
is
only
located
in
the
existing
freewill
bike.
Storage
facility.
Is
that
right.
F
M
Yeah
we're
doing
studies
right
now,
which
includes
some
benchmarking
and
talking
with
the
line
up
as
we
as
we
drive
towards
a
reduction
of
single
occupancy
vehicles.
The
intent
is
to
increase
the
number
of
bike
storage
options
within
the
freewill
bike
area
and
improve
the
facilities
within
that
area.
To
enhance
the
bike
user
experience
to
really
encourage
that
to
happen
more
and
more
as
staff
are
using
that,
hopefully
more
frequently
to
get
to
campus.
M
E
H
Hey
question
a
Commissioner
here
kind
of
mentioned
this,
but
about
the
the
green
wall.
When
it's
not
in
season
and
not
you
know,
seasonally
acceptable
to
be
green
up
there.
Have
you
thought
about
alternative
kind
of
art
measures
that
you're
planning?
What
to
me,
you
could
do
with
that
kind
of
reading
that
you
have
a
lot
of
different
yarn
bombs
and
temporary
kind
of
cool
public
art.
Have
you
booked?
Have
you
thought
about
that
or
allowing
that
or
found
partnerships
in
that
room.
M
Tomorrow,
I
think
that's
like
it's
a
great
comment.
I'd
have
to
defer
some
of
that
to
my
architectural
partners.
However.
I
know
we
have
talked
about
the
challenges
of
offseason
color
and
trying
to
draw
in
that
green
effects
and
we're
still
working
through
solutions
to
try
to
address
some
of
that
and
I'm
sure,
as
we
continue
to
develop
the
design
further,
that
that
is
something
that
we
want
to
continue
to
obviously
leverage
the
green
wall
in
all
seasons
of
the
year
as
much
as
possible
to
try
to
break
up
that
facade.
D
B
K
I'm,
sorry,
my
connection
fizzled
out
a
little
bit
for
a
little
bit
during
Commissioner
Olsen's
questions.
So
if
you
already
addressed
this,
my
apologies
but
I
had
a
question
about.
You
talked
about
the
future
or
you
were
talking
about
the
future
of
trying
to
reduce
the
singer.
Occupancy
vehicle
usage
on
that
campus
and
I
was
just
wondering
also
what
what
efforts
are
you
going
to
in
regard
to
e
vehicle
charging
just
given
the
possibly
future
autonomous
vehicles
that
will
be,
in
theory
floating
around
our
city?
K
K
I
guess
I
would
say,
with
the
FAA
are
you're
requesting
1%
seems
pretty
light,
because
it's
it's
what
800
some
stalls?
It's
like
8,
9
stage
stalls
I
mean
that's,
not
very
many
charging
stations
given
the
number
of
vehicles
that
even
now
are
you
in
the
metro,
I
guess
I
would
say
a
maybe
lean,
a
little
more
heavy
on
that
and
and
in
that
regard,
to
maybe
there's
an
opportunity
on
that
south
wall
to
look
at
the
addition
of
solar
panels
or
something
that
would
help
provide
supplemental
energy
for
those
chargers.
K
M
Yeah
yeah,
we
have
I'll
just
address
your
your
comment
on
the
count
of
Eva
targeting
stalls
are
actually
for
actually
shooting
420
right
now
within
ramp,
seven
and
designing
the
infrastructure
to
be
expandable
in
the
future.
Obviously
we're
in
a
changing
world
and
dynamic
when
it
comes
to
alternative
fuels,
and
we
have
to
be
reactive
to
that.
So
it's
certainly
an
applicable
comment,
as
it
relates
to
solar
panels
on
the
South
facade
of
the
building.
M
Although
we
are
facing
south
facing
there,
it
certainly
is
a
limited
efficiency.
That's
gained
from
from
wall-mounted
solar
panels,
so
we're
actually
looking
at
had
other
options
at
this
time,
but
it
is
something
that
will
certainly
take
as
a
comment
well
received
and
see
if
there's
something
that
we
can
do
to
kind
of
express
that
that
energy
saving
to
the
community.
B
You
know
I
think
in
terms
of
the
connections
to
the
Greenway
that
were
mentioned,
you
know
I
recognize
that
there
are
connections
to
the
Greenway,
that
there
are
other
kind
of
existing
connections
to
the
Greenway
in
this
area.
I
think
that
every
opportunity
we
have
create
more
connections
are
good
ones.
B
You
know,
I
think
that,
but
both
for
this
project
and
for
the
power
plant
project
in
in
memory
of
Commissioner,
Ryan
cron,
sir
a
tree
state
planning
committee
I,
will
encourage
you
to
think
about
pedestrian
lighting
in
both
of
those
both
those
areas.
This
is
a
high
pedestrian
area,
the
light
in
Chicago
area
and
obviously
up
and
down
Chicago
can
I
came
to
and
from
downtown,
both
from
folks
walking
through
the
neighborhood
and
from
Abbott's
own
customers
and
employees.
So
encouraged.
B
Last
couple
comments
about
climate:
you
know
I
think
they
have
a
really
hard
time
looking
at
a
project
like
this
of
thinking
that
it's
acceptable
at
all
to
expand
our
parking
by
this
degree.
You
know
2040
plan
as
a
policy
basis
makes
pretty
clear.
We
need
to
be
reducing
the
amount
of
driving
trips
and
we
need
to
do
it
really
really
fast,
and
this
is
taking
us
in
the
wrong
direction
and,
as
you
know,
induced
demand
pushes
people's
behavior
in
one
direction
or
another
I,
and
and
by
providing
more
reporting
that
that.
B
Shifts
that
demand
I
recognize
as
the
then
than
some
other
facilities.
Perhaps
there
is
a
lot
of
parking
in
this
area
both
for
the
hospital
now
for
the
Midtown
Greenway
and
nearby.
There
is
a
bonding
request
and
fully
engineered
transit
line
along
Chicago
Avenue
and
another
bonding
request
and
fully
engineered
bus,
rapid
transit
line
on
Lake
Street.
So
you
are
at
the
epicenter
of
transit
accessibility.
B
You
know
assuming
those
go
through
this
year
within
about
three
years,
probably
before
this
ramp
is
even
completed
or
right
around
that
time,
and
your
added
need
is
several
phases
away
in
terms
of
your
kind
of
Domino
phasing
of
this
campus
plan.
And
so
you
know
not.
Everybody
who
goes
to
a
hospital
can
take
transit
I
recognize
that,
but
many
people
can,
and
certainly
many
of
the
employees
can
and
so
I
I
think
about
the
health
and
welfare
finding
for
the
conditional
use
permit
in
granting
this
parking
garage
in
our
climate.
B
Change
crisis
it's,
and
certainly
if
it
were
to
move
forward
I,
seeing
extraordinary
measures
in
place
to
mitigate
for
those
impacts
would
it
would
be
really
important?
You
know
there
was
a
comment
that
she
need
to
be
kind
of
reactive
to
the
alternative
fuels
markets.
I
would
argue
that
if
we're
all
reacting,
not
proactive,
we
are
in
pretty
bad
shape.
So
I
would
ask
alignment
if
it's
really
looking
at
being
a
leader
to
lead.
B
So
those
are
my
comments
to
sum
up.
Some
of
the
other
comments
here,
you
know
I
think
there
was
an
indication
of
an
interest
in
you
know
and
well,
certainly
seeing
a
more
detailed
landscaping
plan
and
perhaps
seeing
some
further
design
thinking
in
perforations
of
metal
design.
You
know
I
would
encourage,
certainly
particularly
for
the
automobile
interest
with
parking
ramps
of
40
foot,
car
entrance
or
36
foot
car
insurances
is
is
really
really
wide.
B
You
know
with
the
project
a
rooftop
solar
as
well
as
wall
solar
and
looking
at
how
we
can
be
proactive
on
that
electric
vehicle
charging
stall
count,
and
you
know,
I'm
really
making
sure
that
the
conduit
slated
for
for
a
full
full
parking
garage
worth
of
electric
vehicle
charging
and
I
would
argue.
You
know
really
setting
high
two
targets
and
limiting
those
spaces
for
four
V's.
So
I
think
that
that
is
all
we've
got
on
this
item
and
that
concludes
our
business.
With
item
number
11.

Seeing
none
nothing
further,
nothing
further
until
we
realized
one
more
thing
that
I
forgot
down
the
road,
we'll
fix
that
at
the
next
meeting,
all
right
with
that
the
meeting
is
adjourned.
Thank
you
all
for
for
this,
this
kind
of
longer
meeting
and
thanks
for
staff
and
IT
again
for
helping
out
this
is
a
challenge
moving
and
organized
and
aligned.
So
now
that's
it
does
not
get
taken
for
granted
and
particularly
from
council
chambers,
which
is
like
you
know,
that's
an
added
step.
So
thank
you.
