Good
evening,
everyone
welcome
to
the
regular
meeting
of
the
city
planning
commission
for
monday
november
15
2021..
My
name
is
raya
smiley,
I'm
the
president
of
the
commission
and
I'll
be
chairing
this
meeting
tonight.
As
we
begin.
I
want
to
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
the
remote
participation
of
the
members
of
this
commission,
as
was
authorized
under
minnesota
statute.
Section
13d
21
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency.

I
will
read
through
the
agenda
numbers
and
addresses
and
then
state
whether
it's
been
slated
for
consent
or
discussion,
and
I
will
briefly
explain
what
that
means:
the
ones
that
are
slated
for
consent.
We
will
pass
the
staff's
recommendation,
as
is
written
in
the
staff
report
and
with
without
any
additional
discussion.
C
If
you
disagree
with
that
recommendation
and
would
like
that
to
be
discussed,
then
I
ask
that
you
speak
up
and
say
that
we
we
should
put
that
item
on
the
discussion
agenda.
For
those
who
are
on
the
line.
You
can
press
star
6
to
unmute
yourself
and
state
that
you
would
like
that
item
to
be
discussed,
and
with
that
I
will
move
through
the
items
on
the
agenda.

C
Wonderful
that
motion
passes
and
the
agenda
has
been
approved
with
that
we
will
proceed
to
the
consent
agenda
for
consent
agenda.
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
and
then
we
will
move
on
to
approve
this
these
items
again.
These
items
will
be
approved,
as
recommended
by
staff,
with
the
conditions
that
are
included
in
the
in
the
staff
report.
O

Q
C
C
F
J
C
C
We
will
have
a
public
testimony
on
each
item
and
we
will
discuss
it
and
then
we
will
vote
on
that
before
we
move
on
to
that-
and
I
will
say
this
for
every
single
item
that
is
on
the
discussion
item,
considering
the
number
of
items
and
how
many
people
have
signed
up,
I
will
be
trying
to
limit
the
number
the
number
of
minutes
that
every
person
is
speaking
so
I
asked
to.
I
asked
everyone
to
be
mindful
as
we're
moving
through
these
discussion
items
when
you,
when
you
will
take
the
lead
to
speak.
C
R
R
More
specifically
in
2020,
however,
the
site
was
approved
for
a
youth
hostel
with
a
maximum
occupancy
of
58
people
via
a
historic
variance
by
the
heritage
preservation
commission
and
in
addition
to
that
approval,
the
applicant,
the
pre,
the
previous
owner.
Actually,
the
current
owner
north
bay
completed
a
major
renovation
interior
in
exterior
the
building,
as
well
as
the
site,
as
can
be
seen
in
these
images.
R
Next
slide,
please
so
surrounding
properties
in
the
neighborhood.
It's
the
subject
site
is
the
or1,
almost
in
the
middle,
that
has
the
dot,
but
we
have
the
minneapolis
institute
of
arts,
minneapolis
college
of
art
and
design
nicholas
avenue,
which
is
a
good
goods
and
services
corridor,
and
also
a
space
for
a
high
frequency
transit
route,
is
only
two
blocks
to
the
west
and
within
this
area
there's
a
variety
of
zoning.
You
have
the
residential,
but
also
office
residential
in
in
that
600
foot
radius.
R
The
goal
of
the
use
is
to
provide
a
safe
and
stable
space
for
up
to
six
months
for
individuals,
the
applicant
confirmed
to
staff
and
in
the
in
their
application
that
this
proposal
will
meet
the
definition
of
an
emergency
shelter,
and
that
is
any
facility
that
provides
sleeping,
accommodations
and
restroom
facilities
on
a
day-to-day
basis
to
persons
without
permanent
housing
for
periods
of
greater
than
24
hours
in
less
than
six
months
next
slide.
Please.
R
One
the
use
must
be
located
at
least
350
feet
from
all
existing
emergency
emergence,
emergency
shelters
and
overnight,
shelters
and,
according
to
city
records,
the
closest
emergency
shelter
is
a
thousand
feet
away
at
2201
clinton
avenue,
even
though
that
that's
noted,
as
the
closest
one,
as
known
as
in
discussions
with
with
the
applicant
that
specific
facility
at
st
stephens
is
closing
and
the
therefore
the
nearest
one
would
be
about
two
thousand
or
more
than
two
thousand
feet
away
at
twenty
seven.
Forty
first
avenue
to
the
so
specific
development
standard
number.
R
Two
to
the
extent
practical,
all
new
construction
or
additions
to
existing
buildings
shall
be
compatible
with
the
scale
and
character
of
the
surroundings,
and
exterior
building
materials
shall
be
harmonious
with
the
other
buildings
in
the
area.
The
applicant,
as
noted
just
did
a
major
renovation
inside
and
out,
and
the
the
site
is
in
compliance
with
those
2020
approvals.
R
R
R
R
I
I
didn't
mention
the
conditions
permit
in
all
other
respects
shall
conform
to
the
applicable
regulations
of
the
district
in
which
it
is
located.
I've
gone
through
the
specific
development
standards.
The
applicant
is
committed
to
meeting
all
other
zoning
code
requirements
and,
before
I
hand
it
over
to
you,
chair,
just
want
to
address
a
few
things.
R
R
We've
consulted
with
our
attorney
and
there
was
a
bona
fide
attempt
to
meet
the
ordinance
and
I'll.
Also
note
in
the
applicant
can
talk
about
this
in
more
detail
of
they've
gone
above
and
beyond,
in
flyering
the
neighborhood,
putting
flyers
out
to
properties,
not
just
property
owners,
but
residents,
and
also
going
to
the
neighborhood
meeting
on
two
occasions
and
receiving
a
letter
of
support
for
the
project.
R
S
Sorry
that
took
a
while,
but
just
a
quick
question:
erin
thank
you
for
the
presentation
in
emergency
status.
I'm
assuming
then
that
this
has
the
potential
for
not
being
occupied
at
all.
Sometime
is
there:
how
does
that
work?
Is
there
somebody
staffed
in
the
building
when
that's
not
happening,
or
no,
it's
just
shuttered
and
only
used
for
emergency
use?
If
you
just
clarify
that
that
would
be
great.
R
My
understanding,
thank
you
for
the
question.
My
understanding
is
that
I
mean
I
I'm
assuming
that
there
is
a
need
there.
This
this
shelter
is
replacing,
and
the
applicant
can
speak
to
this
in
more
detail,
other
emergency
shelters
in
minneapolis
and
that
there
will
be
people
that
probably
will
be
there
on
a
regular
basis
once
it
opens,
but
the
ability
to
I'm
sorry
if
I'm
repeating
myself
but
the
the
it
is
not
something
where
you
can
just
show
up
to
to
ask
to
stay
there
for
the
evening.
C
C
Okay,
not
hearing
any
or
not
seeing
anything
else.
I
am
now
opening
the
public
hearing
is
the
applicant
here
to
speak
about
this
item.
If
so,
please
press
star,
6
and
unmute
yourself
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
We
will
be
limiting
the
portion
for
the
applicant
to
not
more
than
10
minutes.
T
Yes,
good
evening,
chair
and
commissioners,
my
name
is
david
hewitt,
I'm
the
director
of
housing,
stability
at
hennepin
county,
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
this
proposal
and
sorry
as
I
was
unmuting,
I
missed
the
other
information
requirements
up
from
the
top
there.
What
else
do
you
need
from
me
right
away.
T
T
The
first
was
for
a
culturally
specific
shelter
focused
on
the
needs
of
the
native
american
community
and
a
new
permanent
50-bed
shelter
was
opened
last
winter
by
the
american
indian
community
development
corporation
in
the
city
of
franklin
corridor.
The
second
was
a
40-bed
medical
respite,
shelter.
This
opened
a
temporary
location
near
the
university
of
minnesota
and
will
transition
to
a
permanent
location
in
elliot
park
as
part
of
a
new
catholic
charities
200
unit
supported
complex
in
1922..
T
The
third
was
this
small-scale
30-bed
stand-alone
shelter
for
female
individual
identified
individuals
and
the
need
for
this
specific
program.
The
emergency
that
we
are
seeking
to
address,
which
is
very
much
about
the
individuals
being
in
an
emergency
situation,
was
an
excess
demand
for
female
shelter
spaces
that
led
to
some
being
turned
away.
The
higher
vulnerabilities
experienced
by
those
individuals
going
unsheltered
and
the
absence
of
any
existing
female,
only
shelter
program
in
our
community.
T
So
following
a
competitive
process
that
again
included
people's
lived
experience
of
homelessness,
salvation
army
was
selected
to
operate
this
new
shelter
and
provide
onsite
services.
The
program
began
at
a
temporary
location
in
the
norfolk
neighborhood
in
south
minneapolis
in
december
2020,
since
then
about
134
individuals
who
had
gone
unsheltered
in
the
past,
many
of
whom
returned
on
shelter
in
the
past,
rather
than
seek
shelter
in
larger
spaces.
All
those
where
men's
programs
co-located
have
reported
the
safety
they
feel
in
this
24
7
housing
focus
program
with
on-site
security.
T
T
Several
sites
across
the
city
were
considered
in
the
search
for
the
permanent
sites
and
the
site
and
location
under
discussion
today
was
prioritized
because,
firstly,
the
building
is
turnkey.
You
heard
about
the
recent
rehabilitation,
but
it
is
near
perfectly
fitted
out
for
offering
a
safe,
dignified
place
for
people
to
stay.
Secondly,
the
location
offers
great
immunities,
transport
links,
proximity
to
downtown
and
overall
access
to
opportunities.
T
T
As
you've
also
heard,
there
is
a
requirement
that
new
homeless
shelters
be
located
at
least
350
feet
away
from
existing
homeless
shelters
in
the
earlier
presentations.
Since
steven
shelter
was
referenced,
and
I
do
want
to
make
sure
it's
clear
that
that
shelter
actually
already
closed
more
than
a
year
ago
and
relocated
away
from
the
neighborhood
last
summer,
leaving
simpsons
as
the
nearest
shelter
about
a
half
mile
away.
T
We
see
this
program
as
a
small
but
vital
part
of
that
larger
effort
and
one
that
is
already
transformative
in
the
lives
of
our
neighbors.
With
that,
I
can
say
I'm
available
for
any
questions.
I
believe
we
have
trish
bakker
executive
director
of
the
salvation
army
harbour
light
center
available
too
and
margot
guessing
hennepin
county
director
of
the
facility
services.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
Thank
you
again
for
your
testimony
and
with
that
we
will
continue
with
the
list
of
our
registered
speakers
again
going
back
to
the
comments
I
made
because
of
the
number
of
registered
speakers
and
number
of
items
to
be
discussed,
I'm
asking
every
person
to
please
limit
your
comment
to
two
minutes.
We
will
be
keeping
time.
You
will
be
hearing
some
kind
of
a
buzzer
that
will
let
you
know
that
the
two
minutes
has
been
reached
so
with
that
the
first
registered
person
to
speak
is
thomas
george.
Q
Oh
okay,
great,
my
name
is
thomas
george.
I
live
at
110,
east
25th
street
and
I'm
opposed
to
the
county.
Locating
at
this
address
and
I'm
concerned
that
the
money
from
the
cares
act
available
to
the
county
that
may
have
a
deadline
to
get
spent
is
causing
rash
decisions
such
as
this
latest
attempt
to
own
and
operate
a
homeless
shelter
at
2400
students.
Q
Having
lived
in
this
neighborhood
for
41
years.
I've
witnessed
the
changes.
It
has
been
a
slow
evolution
40
years
ago.
You
would
never
see
families
raising
their
children
here
now
many
resident
families
have
toddlers
if
they
walk
in
their
strollers
through
barrels
park
in
the
neighborhood,
but
this
change
for
the
positive
still
hangs
in
a
delicate
balance.
Q
The
county
wants
us
to
support
this
program
by
providing
a
welcoming
environment,
they
state
that
the
goal
of
the
program
is
to
create
a
sense
of
community
both
inside
and
out,
but
how
are
we
expected
to
be
supportive
of
yet
30
more?
Who
may
only
be
living
here
for
30
days
or
less?
While
a
new
group
moves
in
a
continual
rotation,
the
delicate
balance
will
change
if
this
project
is
approved
and
we
will
suffer
the
negative
consequences
in
the
county's
application
for
the
conditional
use
permit.
They
state
quote
the
sub.
Q
Q
Q
A
study
done
in
manhattan
several
years
ago
found
that
homes
located
within
1
000
feet
from
homeless
shelters
were
valued
at
17.4
percent
lower
than
homes,
not
near
shelters.
They
claim
that
there
will
be
no
increased
congestions
on
the
streets,
but
they
don't
offer
any
proposal
other
than
adding
a
few
new
parking
spaces
for
bikes.
C
Q
Go
ahead
comparison
comparison
to
no
complaints
at
the
previous
site
I
drove
out
to
st
joseph,
and
there
is
a
world
of
difference
between
the
two
sites
that
homeless
shelter
has
acres
and
acres
of
land
between
them
and
neighbors
to
the
all
directions:
the
cemetery
in
the
north
and
huge
divisions
to
the
south.
So
that
is
disingenuous
for
the
county
to
say
that
this
will
be
plopped
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
area
and
we
will
suffer
consequences.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
comment,
the
continuing
with
the
list
of
our
registered

W
Okay,
wonderful,
okay,
I'll
start
with
my
comments
good
evening,
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
I'm
charles
block,
a
neighbor
at
2520,
stevens
avenue.
Ask
that
you
consider
continuing
this
item
to
a
later
date
due
to
insufficient
public
notice.
As
aaron
pointed
out
as
the
city
planner's
office
admits,
the
posting
requirements
were
not
met
between
november
fifth
and
eighth.
Simply
that
there
was
a
bona
fide
effort.
Maybe
the
dog
ate
their
orange
poster
and
they
couldn't
get
it
back
for
three
days.
W
W
2400
stephens
avenue
is
currently
vacant
and
unlicensed
for
business
use.
There
are
misrepresentations
of
its
capacity
in
the
county's
application.
It
was
used
and
licensed
for
years
as
a
six
up
to
11
bedroom
b
b
and
the
current
owner
has
fixed
it
up
into
a
hotel
that
would
have
been
a
nice
neighborhood
amenity
and
beneficial
to
neighborhood
businesses
and
the
city
coffers.
W
If
use
of
the
hotel
would
also
reduce
the
use
of
nearby
noaa
housing
as
short
term
rentals
such
as
airbnb,
which
we're
all
concerned
about
which
would
contribute
to
local,
affordable
housing,
the
hotel
use,
I
mean
the
proposed
use
of
an
emergency
filter-
doesn't
change
the
fact
that
it's
an
11
bedroom
house
with
shared
parking
area.
The
proposed
use
of
30
residents
is
nearly
the
maximum
allowed.
Under
the
emergency
shelter
exception
to
or1
rules.
It
would
not
provide
dignified
housing
with
a
semblance
of
privacy
for
the
residents.
W
Compare
this
to
a
conditional
maximum
occupancy
of
16
as
congregate,
housing,
which
would
provide
dignified
housing
to
the
residents
of
an
11
bedroom
home
a
huge
benefit
to
the
residents
of
the
house.
It
would
also
mitigate
by
nearly
half
all
the
predictable
negatives
which
are
ignored
by
the
applicant,
such
as
daily
food
deliveries
by
truck
cigarette
smoke,
drug
use
and
litter
in
the
in
washburn
charles
park.
W
W
There
is
city
code
regarding
quote
housing
for
minimum
things
that
you've
been
ignored
for
years
by
your
neighborhood.
Please
approve
this
for
a
maximum
of
up
to
16,
which
would
leak
more
successful
outcomes
and
fire
how
much
it
would
cost.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
appreciate
it
have
a
good
night.
Thank.

Oh
okay,
I'm
appearing
here
today,
not
as
a
resident
of
whittier
but
as
a
resident
of
minneapolis.
Everyone
wants
to
help
the
less
fortunate
in
our
city.
The
question
is:
why
is
yet
another
support
facility
being
put
in
this
small
area
of
whittier?
If
we
want
to
help
people?
The
way
to
do
it
is
to
integrate
them
into
our
communities.
Make
them
feel
safe,
welcome
and
valued
within
a
few
blocks
of
this
building.
There
are
already
many
support
facilities.
This
current
proposal
isn't
about
helping
people
in
need.
X
This
city
has
a
long
history
of
redlining,
and
this
proposal
smacks
of
redlining
all
over
again.
This
proposal
is
also
bad
for
the
long-term
vibrancy
of
the
city,
when
one
neighborhood
is
targeted
to
warehouse
undesirables,
that
neighborhood
is
neglected
and
eventually
falls
into
ruin
the
way
to
make
all
of
minneapolis
safe
and
prosperous
for
all
of
its
citizens.
Those
in
need,
as
well
as
the
wealthy,
is
to
share
the
wealth
and
share
the
obligations.
X
C
Y
Y
So
this
is
still
a
reduction
of
emergency,
shelter,
beds
or
shelter
beds
at
all
in
our
community,
and
I
think
it's
a
use
that
is
important
to
creating
a
variety
of
housing
types
for
giving
everyone
a
place
to
live.
That
is
something
that
we
should
support.
The
county
has
effectively
addressed
the
concerns
about
24-hour
access
about
drug
use
and
alcohol
use
and
how
that
is
not
allowed
on
site
around
safety
and
security
and
has
promised
to
continue
to
be
responsive
to
the
community.
I
hope
you
approve
this
project.
C
K
Z
Okay
yeah,
my
name
is
paulette.
Will
I've
resided
in
the
adjacent
2500
stevens
avenue
block
for
over
25
years?
I
was
not
mailed
door-knocked
or
in
any
other
way,
approached
by
hennepin
county
human
services
in
an
outreach
effort
to
seek
and
inform
community
input.
This
community
is
already
serving
of
a
varied
and
diverse
population
in
sheltered
residences.
Serving
individuals
who
are
transitioning
from
chemical
dependency
are
mentally
challenged,
ex-felons
or
sex
offenders.
Z
In
addition,
the
fifth
police
precinct
regularly
mails
updates
to
the
community
of
sexual
predators
who
are
being
housed
in
our
community.
The
close
proximity
of
an
emergency
shelter
for
homeless
females
to
sexual
predators,
who
regularly
move
in
and
out
of
this
community,
may
not
be
in
the
best
interests
of
homeless
females.
Z
C
V
Thank
you,
chair
and
commissioners
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
My
name
is
kaylee
brown,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
whittier
alliance,
neighborhood
organization,
we're
located
at
10,
east
25th
street
in
ward
10,
just
a
block
or
two
from
the
site,
I'm
speaking
today,
to
share
support
for
the
project
and
would
like
to
just
briefly
highlight
a
bit
further.
V
Some
of
that
engagement
that
the
county
has
done
so
far
in
the
neighborhood
and
has
said
they
will
continue
to
do
moving
forward
to
reach
additional
staff
from
the
county
and
salvation
army
presented
and
took
in
community
questions
and
feedback.
At
our
october
housing
and
land
use
committee
meeting
our
staff
then
developed
a
short
community
survey
that
was
distributed
digitally
on
our
channels
for
about
a
week
to
provide
another
opportunity
for
community
members
to
voice
concerns
or
support
or
ask
questions.
V
They
also
could
indicate
overall
whether
they
would
like
to
see
the
pro
this
property
used
for
this
purpose.
Following
the
close
of
the
survey
window,
county
and
salvation
army
staff
received
the
compiled
feedback
and
responded
in
writing
to
all
the
questions
posed
by
survey.
Respondents
that
feedback
and
the
q
a
documents
were
added
to
our
website,
along
with
the
recording
of
their
presentation
at
the
woody
alliance
board
of
directors
meeting
on
october
28th,
during
which
they
also
addressed
many
of
those
questions
and
concerns
that
were
raised
of
the
70
respondents.
V
55.7
said
that
they
would
like
to
see
the
property
used
in
this
way.
40
said
they
would
not.
4.3
said
they
were
not
sure.
The
vast
majority
of
the
survey
respondents
listed
a
home
address
within
three
to
four
blocks
of
business
and,
in
addition
to
engaging
woody
alliance's
meeting
through
whittier
alliance's
meeting
opportunities
and
digital
channels,
county
staff
have
been
door
knocking
and
firing
in
the
area
and
is
planning
subsequent
dates
for
additional
outreach
as
well.
V
They
have
committed
to
continuing
dialogue
with
whittier
alliance
and
neighbors
if
the
process
is
to
move
forward
and
we
look
forward
to
doing
what
we
can
to
assist
with
a
smooth
transition
into
whittier
as
well.
So
I
ask
that
you
vote
in
support
of
this
project
and
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Thank
you.

Hi,
my
name
is
richard
higgins.
I
live
in
26
26,
second
avenue
just
a
few
blocks
from
the
site
in
the
whittier
neighborhood
ward
10.,
and
I
am
calling
to
voice
my
support
of
this
project,
not
only
because
it
is
serving
a
demonstrated
need
in
our
neighborhood,
but
also
because
I've
been
particularly
impressed
by
the
applicant's
thoughtful
approach.
B
C
C
A
Hello,
yes,
you
got
my
name
right,
we're
all
good.
I
am
calling
to
express
my
unmitigated
support
for
the
measure
I
live
at
2412,
first
avenue,
so
one
block
away
from
the
proposed
site.
I
also
speak
on
behalf
of
the
omega
community,
which
is
an
intentional
community
of
seven
adults
who
share
our
address.
A
So
first,
I
wanted
to
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
some
of
the
neighbors
have
shared
about
insufficient
notice.
I
received
three
flyers
at
my
door
as
well
as
communication
through
the
whittier
alliance,
which
is
available
to
everyone
in
whittier.
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
recognize
some
of
the
concerns
about
redlining
in.
A
However,
with
winter
coming,
this
is
an
emergency
and
so
shelter
space
is
not
a
concern
that
can
wait.
I
agree
that
long
term.
Other
options
that
are
spread
out
to
the
city
are
absolutely
need
to
be
established,
but
we
need
an
immediate
option.
Safe
and
warm
housing
in
the
minnesota
winter
is
literally
a
matter
of
life
and
death.
A
I
also
offer
the
perspective
as
a
social
worker
in
the
mental
health
and
substance
abuse
disorder
field.
As
one
might
expect,
I
have
worked
with
many
people
experiencing
homelessness
over
the
course
of
my
career.
The
need
for
trauma-informed
faces
where
women
can
stay
separate
from
men
can't
be
overstated.
A
C
AA
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hi.
My
name
is
morgan
adelberry.
I
live
at
302,
east
25th
street.
I'm
a
couple
of
blocks
away
from
the
address.
I
regularly
walk
past
this
location
and
I
would
like
to
offer
my
complete
support
of
the
project.
As
some
people
have
mentioned
or
kind
of
mentioned,
this
location
was
set
up
to
be
a
hostel,
not
a
hotel,
and
so
it
was
gonna
have
quite
a
few
people
coming
through
either
way.
I
think
the
use
of
a
emergency
shelter
is
much
better.
AB
AA
It
I
think,
it's
important
to
provide
a
place-
that's
welcoming
and
safe
and
dignified
for
everyone
to
live,
and
I
think
our
neighborhood
is
a
great
place
to
do
that.
I
think
the
fact
that
it's
across
the
street
from
mia
and
a
park
is
an
excellent
location
for
anyone
to
live,
and
I'm
happy
that
this
will
be
an
option
for
our
unhoused
neighbors.
C
AC
AC
Very
good,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
the
comments
from
our
neighbors.
This
is
a
very
tightly
knit
neighborhood,
and
this
was
a
big
change
that
came
at
us
rather
suddenly
and
first
of
all,
my
name
and
address
is
paul
smith,
24,
18,
stevens
and
my
wife
and
I
live,
have
lived
here
for
a
long
time,
and
my
wife
has
been
here.
48
years
made
significant
investments
in
our
neighborhood.
AC
We
lived
less
than
100
feet
from
the
closed
shelter
and
first
I
want
to
mention
that
the
application
should
have
been
rejected
outright,
as
it
would
be
located
less
than
200
feet
away
from
a
shelter.
That's
an
overnight
shelter
at
17,
east
24th
street.
Earlier
we
heard
the
planners
say
that
it
had
to
be
350
feet
from
a
emergency
shelter.
But
as
I
look
at
the
code,
there's
a
look
at
the
regulation.
AC
AC
It's
a
large
campus
where
the
residents
are
now
is
a
campus,
that's
larger
than
the
mia
campus
across
the
street.
This
is
a
very
small
area
adjacent
to
a
lot
of
other
supportive
housing
areas.
There
are
much
better
options,
such
as
at
321
25th
street,
where
there
is
a
30
to
50
unit
senior
home,
that
is
vacant
that
has
been
vacant
for
a
long
time
owned
by
nia.
I
urge
hampton
county
to
look
into
that
to
be
a
far
better
location
away
from
much
of
the
sheltered,
supportive
housing
that
we
have
in
our
neighborhood.
C
Thank
you
for
your
comment.
This
actually
completes
the
list
of
a
registered
speakers.
If
there's
anyone
else
on
the
line
who
would
like
to
speak
but
didn't
get
a
chance
to
register,
you
can
speak
right
now.
Please
unmute
yourself
by
pressing
star
six
and
then
continue
with
your
name
and
address
and
limit
your
comments
to
two
minutes.
Please.
AD
I
guess
maybe
or
or
a
portion
of
a
plan
to
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
are
kind
of
valid.
In
terms
of
you
know,
people
coming
and
going-
and
you
know
security
around.
The
perimeter,
however,
like
as
everybody's
already
said,
who
supports
it
right?
This
is
a
demonstrated
need
we
are
losing
beds.
AD
We
do
want
this
as
a
neighborhood
organization
as
well,
and
I
support
the
project
and
also
ask
hennepin
county
to
kind
of
follow
through
on
their
commitments,
to
making
sure
that
this
is
a
kind
of
shining
example
of
what
a
new
development
quote.
New
can
look
like
and
how
a
shelter
of
this
nature
could
be.
You
know
well
integrated
with
the
neighborhood
so
that
everybody
in
the
neighborhood
is
pleased
with
it.
AD
C
AE
Yes,
my
name
is
sydney
burroughs.
I
live
at
2200,
harriet
avenue
south,
and
I
support
this
project.
I
think
that
everyone
should
have
a
place
to
live,
and
emergency
shelters
serve
a
critical
need,
especially
in
our
neighborhood
whittier,
can
be
a
welcoming
place
for
these
new
neighbors.
This
property
is
strategically
placed
with
access
to
transportation,
food
parks,
museums,
etc,
and
it
is
an
emergency
shelter,
because
this
is
an
emergency.
AE
It's
our
duty
to
keep
our
neighbors
in
a
safe
environment
off
of
the
street.
We
have
the
resource
and
we
we
have
the
resources
and
we
have
the
space.
The
shelters
offers
a
huge
community
benefit,
helping
for
people
who
need
it
most
for
very
little
disruption.
It
uses
an
existing
building,
so
there's
no
disruption
from
construction
and
it
will
have
a
minimal
parking
needs
also
because
it
provides
24,
7
access
for
the
residents
and
starts
with
30-day
stays.
You'll
have
a
far
less
turnover
than
even
the
hostile
that
currently
uses
the
property.
C

This
application
brought
back
a
lot
of
memories
for
me,
because
that
hostel
was
the
first
place.
I
stayed
when
I
moved
to
minneapolis
and
at
that
time
I
was
in
a
really
precarious
situation
on
the
verge
of
being
homeless,
and
it
was
one
of
the
only
places
in
the
city
that
I
could
find
that
I
could
stay
on
a
temporary
basis
for
15
a
night,
and
I
just
want
to
note
for
future
reference
when
we're
talking
about
sros
or
other
things
that
might
come
forward
in
the
future.
AG
AH
AH
Would
it
be
converted
back
to
the
private
market
just
trying
to
understand
kind
of
the
long-term
plans
of
this
property,
and
I
also
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
give
my
same
feedback
as
commissioner
meyer
that
I
think
this
is
a
you
know,
a
good
use,
the
property.
I
was
just
looking
it
up
on
the
you
know
what
it
looks
like
inside
and
out,
and
it
seems
like
it
would
be
very
turn
key
to
turn
into
this
type
of
shelter,
and
I
would
be
supportive
of
that
happening.
AH
I
also
wanted
to
just
mention
for
a
lot
of
the
public
comment
about.
You
know
people
coming
in
and
out
I
mean
the
hostel
already
does
that
day
in
and
day
out,
and
so
I
think,
if
you've
been
able
to
live
with,
you
know
57
people
coming
in
and
out
daily
or
weekly
or
monthly.
Already
I
don't
see
how
this
a
30
unit
shelter
should
be
a
giant
step
in
a
different
direction
than
that,
but
my
I
would
like
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
that
first
question.
Thank
you.
AF
AF
G
We've
seen
lots
of
evidence
and
lots
of
research
about
that
and
our
our
very
own,
myron
orfield
has
done
a
lot
of
work
on
that
issue,
and
it
seems
that
we
continue
to
put
the
these
kind
of
supportive
facilities
in
neighborhoods.
That
already
have
quite
a
bit
of
similar
kinds
of
activities.
Now
I
must
confess
that
I've
been
I've
been
impressed
by
the
presentation
by
the
by
hennepin
county.
G
I've
been
impressed
by
the
response
of
the
community
and
that's
why
I'm
going
to
be
voting
I,
but
I
it's
just
one
more
time
of
putting
it's
always
convenient
to
put
these
facilities
in
low
income,
neighborhoods
or
neighborhoods
that
are
trying
struggling
to
become
more
sustainable.
But
I
will
be
voting,
I
thank
you.

I
don't
think
it
is.
I
I've
seen
it
for
50
years
and
they've
managed
to
find
reasons
to
put
things
in
into
the
near
north,
south
side
and
near
north
side,
and
they
I
question
how
hard
they
try
to
spread
around
the
community,
and
I
understand
these
are
reasonable.
People
and
it'll
be
a
decent
effort
to
to
help
the
people
who
will
be
living
there,
but
it
is
a
concentration
of
poverty
and
that's
the
problem.

Good
evening,
president
of
smiley
and
commissioners
before
you
today
are
three
applications
to
allow
the
construction
of
a
new
three-story
residential
building
with
six
units
at
10,
30
lowry
avenue
northeast
next
slide.
Please,
this
property
is
a
corner
lot
located
at
the
intersection
of
lower
avenue,
northeast
and
taylor
street
northeast.
Currently,
the
site
is
occupied
by
a
duplex
which
would
be
demolished
for
the
project.
H
The
property
is
located
in
the
r2b
district
and
the
corridor
4
built
form
overlay
district.
This
section
of
lowry
avenue
is
a
designated
goods
and
services
corridor,
as
is
central
avenue
northeast,
which
is
located
a
block
and
a
half
further
west
here
and
the
future
land
use
designation
for
the
property
is
urban
neighborhood
next
slide,
please,
the
proposed
building
would
include
two
two
bedroom
units
and
four
three
bedroom
units.
The
project
is
being
proposed
by
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
and
is
intended
to
be
occupied
by
families
with
children
with
incomes
below
30
percent.
H
Ami.
The
first
floor
would
include
the
two
two
bedroom
units:
two
exterior
accessible
storage
spaces,
as
well
as
a
bike
room
and
the
upper
floors.
Would
each
include
two
of
the
three
bedroom
units,
unlike
the
existing
duplex,
the
building
would
be
developed
facing
taylor
street
northeast
following
the
underlying
plating
of
the
property.
A
small
parking
area
with
four
vehicle
stalls
would
be
located
to
the
rear
if
we
could
advance
a
couple
slides
here,
please
to
the
to
the
first
site
plan.
Please
thank
you.
H
In
the
r2b
district,
individual
buildings
are
limited
to
a
maximum
of
three
dwelling
units.
The
applicant
is,
in
this
case
seeking
a
rezoning
to
the
r3
district
to
allow
the
project
as
proposed,
and
the
applicant
is
not
proposing
a
change
to
the
bill
form
overlay
district.
Here,
as
I
mentioned,
this
property
is
a
reverse
corner
lot.
The
property
is
subject
to
a
platted
front
yard
adjacent
to
taylor
street
northeast,
as
well
as
to
a
reverse
corner
front
yard.
H
Adjacent
to
lowry
avenue
northeast
the
applicant
is
seeking
a
variance
to
reduce
the
reverse
corner
front
yard,
adjacent
to
lowry,
from
15
feet,
to
18.2
feet
for
the
building
and
to
12.5
feet
for
the
parking
area.
The
project
is
also
subject
to
site
plan
review.
We
have
received
a
significant
volume
of
public
comments
related
to
this
project.
H
One
comment
was
included
attached
to
the
original
published
staff
report,
and
earlier
today
you
should
have
received
approximately
50
public
comments
that
were
received
after
publication
of
the
agenda.
I'm
happy
to
go
into
more
detail
on
the
findings
for
the
rezoning
and
variance
applications
as
written
in
the
staff
report.
H
The
existing
development
patterns
along
lowry,
as
well
as
the
separation
from
the
adjacent
property
along
lowry,
caused
by
the
public
alley
for
site
plan
review.
The
project
does
require
alternative
compliance
for
window
coverage
on
the
corner
side
and
rear
elevations,
as
well
as
for
parking
and
loading
landscaping
and
screening.
H
Again,
if
any
commissioners
have
any
questions,
I
can
go
into
more
detail,
but
we
are
recommending
partial
approval
of
alternative
compliance,
as
well
as
conditions
of
approval
requiring
an
additional
window
on
the
rear
and
some
additional
landscaping
and
screening
between
the
parking
area
and
both
the
north
and
south
property
lines,
as
detailed
in
the
staff
report
with
that,
we
are
recommending
approval
of
all
three
applications
subject
to
the
conditions
listed
in
the
report
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
C
AK
C
AK
C
AK
AK
AK
You
know
we're
happy
to
talk
to
each
one
of
these
pieces,
but
we'll
be
generally
speaking
across
all
different
sites
for
the
first
project.
So
on
slide
three
and
pha
at
a
glance
you
know,
our
goal
is
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
context
for
the
overall
project,
so
our
the
goal
of
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
is
to
deliver
affordable
housing
across
the
city
of
minneapolis.
We
currently
serve
about
26
000
people
in
the
city,
speaking
specifically
about
the
scatter
site
portfolio,
which
consists
of
700
family
units
across
minneapolis.
AK
These
units
are
single-family
homes,
duplexes,
four
pluses
and
townhomes,
and
what's
so
important
about
this
piece,
and
this
portfolio
is
that
these
units
represent
over
80
percent
of
mpha
housing
for
families
with
children
and
our
critical
deeply
affordable
housing
infrastructure
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.
So
these
eight
sites
are
an
important
component
of
our
effort
to
try
to
continue
providing
affordable
housing
for
residents
of
minneapolis.
AK
So
as
part
of
this
effort
just
to
have
some
more
clarity
and
context
for
everyone
on
the
call
mpha
created
community
housing
resources,
which
is
a
wholly
owned
nonprofit
by
the
mpha
chr's.
Only
goal
and
purpose
is
to
advance
mpha's
mission
and
work.
We
transferred
these
sites
over
to
the
community
housing
resources
in
october.
AK
2022
excuse
me
october
2020,
and
the
goal
of
this
was
to
provide
as
much
to
get
additional
rental
subsidies
so
that
we
could
do
the
new
construction
work,
but
also
to
take
advantage
of
financial
structures
that
other
nonprofit
developers
have
access
to
similar
to
you
know
an
aeon
or
a
common
bond
or
a
beacon.
So
you
know
we
felt
that
it
was
important
to
take
advantage
of
financing
so
that
we
can
continue
to
continue
to
invest
in
our
public
housing.
AK
So
moving
on
to
site
four,
it's
labeled
affordability
in
existing
residence.
So
you
know
this
is
something
that
we
wanted
to
be
extremely
clear
on
for
both
the
commissioners
as
well
as
everyone
on
the
call.
Unfortunately,
there's
been
a
lot
of
misinformation,
as
well
as
just
misunderstanding,
and
the
financing
that
we're
pursuing
so
mpha
will
be
the
long-term
owner
and
operator
of
these
properties.
They're
not
going
to
be
sold
off
to
a
for-profit
developer.
We're
not
disposing
of
these.
These
are
going
to
continue
being
a
part
of
mpha's
portfolio.
AK
In
addition,
future
tenants
will
come
for
mphas
the
public
housing
authority's
family
housing
waitlist.
All
of
these
units
will
have
project-based
vouchers,
meaning
that
all
units
will
be
available
to
households
at
or
below,
30
ami
and
residents
will
continue
to
pay
30
of
their
income
as
they
have
up
until
this
point.
In
addition,
these
units
have
long-term
affordability,
so
that
means
that
these
are
not
going
to
be
converted
to
market
rate
they're
not
going
to
be,
you
know,
made
for
profit.
These
will
continue
to
be
a
part
of
mpha's
portfolio.
AK
We
have
done
a
lot
of
work
to
meet
with
the
impacted
residents
at
the
16
sites
of
the
overall
project
that
we
worked
on.
We've
informed
them
of
the
project.
We've
discussed
how
their
housing
benefits
will
continue.
We've
also
discussed
housing
options
during
construction,
as
well
as
their
ability
to
return
to
the
site
after
construction.
These
are
very
important
components
of
this
piece.
AK
In
addition,
something
that's
been
fantastic.
Is
we've
been
having
ongoing
meetings
with
residents
that
are
impacted
by
this
project
to
receive
feedback
on
the
design,
the
construction,
as
well
as
a
temporary
relocation?
It's
been
a
fantastic
process,
been
a
lot
of
fun.
Having
residents
have
direct
input
on
the
design
that
we're
implementing
into
these
projects,
they
speak
directly
to
the
architects
and
it's
been
a
really
fun
project
and
and
process
moving
on
to
slide
number
five.
AK
What
brought
us
here,
the
biggest
piece,
as
you
all
know,
is
just
there's
a
huge
demand
for
housing,
specifically
affordable
housing
both
in
our
city
but
across
our
country.
Mpha
currently
has
about
8
000
families
on
our
wait
list.
So
that
means
that
there's
8
000
people
out
there
that
are
currently
eligible
for
these
units
that
we're
trying
to
build
the
highest
demand
is
for
two
and
three
bedroom
units.
AK
So
this
project
is
a
direct
response
of
that
that
demand,
in
addition,
mpha
as
part
of
a
strategic
vision
in
2018,
called
for
the
construction
of
new
units
in
its
portfolio.
So
this
is
a
part
of
that
piece
and
then,
as
part
of
the
site
opportunities,
we
worked
hard
to
identify
to
look
at
all
700
of
our
scatter
site
properties
to
identify
the
sites
with
the
best
suitable
characteristics,
both
from
a
physical
perspective
from
size
and
dimensions,
but
also
from
just
a
practical
perspective,
making
sure
that
they
have
access
to
transit.
AK
Our
high
density
areas
have
access
to
green
spaces,
to
parks,
to
greenways,
as
well
as
access
to
education
and
jobs.
So
we
worked
hard
to
to
find
sites
both
that
are
to
provide
affordable
housing
in
areas
where
it
doesn't
exist,
currently
as
much
in
the
city,
but
also
to
continue
investing
in
areas
where
it
does
so
moving
on
to
slide
number
six.
It's
that's
overall
project
information.
AK
What's
what
can
be
produced
on
each
site
so
what's
allowed
from
a
zoning
perspective,
but
also
what
physically
the
dimensions
are
of
those
sites.
Ultimately,
overall,
this
project
will
create
26
two
bedrooms
for
families
as
well
as
58
three
bedrooms
as
well.
Construction
is
currently
planned
to
start
in
2022.
AK
and
then
last
slide.
I
have
then
we're
happy
to
answer.
Any
questions
is
slide
number,
seven
site
opportunities,
so
we
have
done
a
significant
amount
of
engagement
in
the
community.
We've
gone
to
11
and
our
planets
go
to
12
neighborhood
meetings,
all
the
items,
all
the
all
the
agenda
items
we
have
gone
to
their
respective
neighborhood
groups
and
presented
on
the
project
we've
done
door,
knocking
on
every
single
adjacent
of
butter
at
the
eight
sites.
AK
So,
overall,
all
16
sites,
including
the
eight
on
the
agenda
today,
comply
in
height,
bulk,
lot
size
and
luck
coverage
set
by
the
built
form
overlay
adopted
by
city
council
in
2021
and,
most
importantly,
it
also
complies
with
the
adopted
policies
and
goals
set
by
minneapolis
2040
around
density,
a
number
of
units,
the
intensity
of
the
development,
as
well
as
the
creation
of
additional,
affordable
housing.
That's
desperately
needed
within
our
city.
AK
I
can
the
last
piece
I
can
have,
or
and
or
our
team
or
andrew
talk
about
the
the
rezoning
piece,
but
it
really
is
just
an
incremental
implementation
of
what
the
2040
plan
has
already
set
in
motion
and
has
been
approved.
So
we
have
additional
staff
from
mpha.
If
there's
any
questions
that
I
can't
answer,
but
we
also
are
joined
by
djr
architects.
If
there's
any
design
specific
questions
as
well,
so
we're
happy
to
take
any
any
questions
that
any
of
the
chair
commission
commissioners
have.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
C

C

P
P
My
sister
lives
in
public
housing
and
having
a
safe
place
to
call
home
changed
and
likely
saved
her
life.
This
particular
proposed
project
will
give
10
families
who
desperately
needed
most
safe
new
beautiful
homes.
More
than
8
000
families
are
on
the
public,
housing
wait
list
and
I'm
hopeful.
The
mpha
proposed
projects
will
move
forward
so
that
dozens
of
these
families
will
soon
have
new
homes.
These
eight
sites
are
an
important
step
towards
ensuring
that
affordable
housing
is
available
in
every
neighborhood
across
our
city,
and
this
is
the
minneapolis
that
I
want
to
live
in.
C
AL
AL
Building
more
public
housing
is
consistent
with
the
gold
and
policies
of
the
2040
plan.
Public
housing
belongs
in
every
neighborhood
and
these
small
scale
buildings
are
appropriate
for
the
neighborhoods
that
they
will
be
built.
In
last
thursday.
I
actually,
I
called
juan
torrez
at
the
mpha
to
discuss
some
concerns
that
I
had
read
online
about
some
of
these
homes.
AL
I
learned
that
these
homes
could
be
owned
and
operated
by
mpha
and
was
encouraged
to
learn
that
these
homes
would
be
available
to
our
lowest
income
residents,
those
making
less
than
30
percent
of
area
median
income,
and
also
that
they
would
pay
30
percent
of
their
income
as
rent.
I
also
learned
that
the
existing
residents
of
homes
on
these
sites
would
be
allowed
to
return
to
these
locations
when
construction
was
complete.
AL
Current
residents
have
also
sounds
like
been
included
in
the
design
process,
and
I
believe
these
homes
will
have
all
the
amenities
that
we
expect.
Out
of
you
know
any
modern
home
such
as
central
air
and
heat
in-unit,
laundry
and
more,
and
I
really
think
that
public
housing
residents
deserve
those
things.
So
I'd
like
to
ask
the
commission
to
please
support
public
housing
by
building
more
of
it
and
to
support
all
of
the
mpha
projects
remaining
on
today's
agenda.
Thank
you.
C
C
K
O
Hello
yeah,
I'm
nathanial
heart
anderson,
I'm
a
former
resident
of
ward
6,
actually
just
recently
moved
to
st
paul,
but
I'll
keep
my
comments
very
brief.
I'm
calling
to
oppose
this
project
for
a
couple
reasons,
so
I
mentioned
this
earlier
when
I
mistakenly
commented
before
my
time.
So
you
might
recognize
my
voice,
but
mpha
is
currently
involved
in
a
civil
rights
class
action
lawsuit
brought
by
a
public
housing
residents
due
to
their
mistreatment
of
residents
and
also
due
to
the
fact
that
they're
not
in
compliance
with
some
local
and
state
laws.
O
So
I
think
it's
really
deeply
concerning
to
be
pursuing
this
project,
given
that
that
lawsuit
is
ongoing.
Secondly,
there
is
misinformation
going
around
the
previous
caller
was
participating
in
it
by
describing
this
housing
as
public
housing.
It's
not
public
housing,
it's
affordable,
housing,
which
is
still
great,
but
the
fact
is
is
that
these
projects
will
be
demolishing
currently
existing
public
housing
and
replacing
it
with
affordable
housing.
O
For
this
reason,
we
are
seeing
an
actual
reduction
in
public
housing
in
minneapolis
and
movement
away
from
public
housing
towards
affordable
housing,
which
is
more
popular
because
it
allows
for
non-profit
developers
to
make
money
from
it,
which
I'm
sure
you
on
the
planning
commission
are
very
well
aware
of.
So
with
that,
I
will
leave
my
comments
there.
Thank
you
so
much
for
listening
and
yeah.
C
C
C
C
C
Okay,
connor
is
also
not
here.
Then
the
next
person
is
anna
hinder.
Hing
again
I
apologize
not
100
sure
about
the
pronunciation.
If
you're
here
on
the
line,
please
press
press
star
six
to
unmute
yourself,
also,
not
here.
Okay,
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
any
to
see
if
any
of
the
council
member
elects
are
on
the
line
who
had
signed
up
in
advance
council
member,
like
chavez,
chuktai
and
warlopa.
C
C
U
S
U
It's
super
important
that
we
build
more
affordable
housing
and
more
public
housing,
specifically
in
our
city,
because
people
from
all
income
ranges
deserve
to
live
in
the
city.
I
think
it's
great
that
we're
building
these
public
housing
units
all
across
the
city,
because
we
shouldn't
just
be
concentrating
it
in
one
area.
So
it's
really
great
that
they've
been
so
comprehensive
with
this,
as
was
mentioned
by
the
presenter,
these
will
all
be
affordable
for
people
making
under
30
am
I
and,
furthermore,
it
will
be
affordable
at
30
of
their
income,
so
it
is.
U
C
C
AG
AK
Yes,
so
this
is
juan
torres
again
from
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
so
for
those
that
are
also
on
the
call
campaign,
commissioner,
project-based
vouchers
are
issued
by
hud
in
the
federal
government.
So
this
is,
you
know,
continues
to
be
publicly
funded.
You
know
now,
that's
how
it'll
continue
to
be
so.
AK
What
this
units
are
you
know
available
for,
in
addition,
just
add
clarity
on
the
income
piece,
regardless
of
what
your
ami
is,
because
a
lot
of
our
tenants
are,
you
know,
may
have
ten
percent
five
percent
zero
ami
percent.
They
pay
thirty
percent
of
their
income.
So
if
someone
receives
social
security,
they
only
pay
thirty
percent
of
that.
If
someone
has
a
full-time
job
or
a
part-time
job,
they
pay
30
of
that.
So
there
could
potentially
be
a
scenario
where
there's
within
the
same
building
all
tenants.
AK
AK
Right
and
just
to
add
a
little
bit
more
detail
to
that,
you
know
we.
We
do
have
some
tenants
that
are
above
thirty
percent
ami.
You
know
there
is
some.
You
know
we,
but
that's
why
we
say
available
too.
So,
if
you're,
if
you
happen
to
be
below
30
ami,
you
make
that
available
to
you.
But
if
you're
not,
we
also,
you
know,
for
example,
we
have
some
tenants
that
are
currently
at
the
properties
that
are
above
30
ami
but,
as
we've
said,
no
one
will
be
displaced
as
a
product
of
this
project.
AG
AK
So
we
started
conversations
with
them,
I
believe
in
july,
so
they
were
the
first
people
that
we
talked
to.
We
made
the
we
made
the
internal
decision
that
before
we
went
out
publicly
to
neighborhood
groups
to
neighbors
to
anyone,
we
were
going
to
talk
to
our
tenants
first
and
that's
what
we
did
so
we
spoke
with
them
individually.
We
had
individual
phone
calls
with
them.
They
have
a
direct
line
to
an
mpha
staff
member
on
the
project
for
any
question
that
they
have
on
the
project.
AK
In
addition
to
that,
we
encourage
every
single
there's,
13
households
that
are
impacted
by
these
16
sites.
We
encourage
them
to
join
a
design
group
that
we've
been
meeting
with
djr
about
once
a
month
since,
and
we've
gone
feedback
on
the
site
plan
on
the
unit
design
on
the
amount
of
storage,
the
amount
of
the
kitchen
layout,
the
kitchen
design.
So
that's
the
engagement
that
we've
had
with
those
residents.
In
addition,
like
I
mentioned,
we've
discussed
all
of
their
housing
benefits
and
rights.
AK
You
know,
there's
a
there's
a
defined
process
there
that
hud
gives
us
that
we
have
to
follow.
In
addition,
you
know
we
discuss
with
them
their
options
for
housing
during
construction,
so
we're
reserving
public
housing
units
for
them
that
are
nearby
if
they
want
to,
or
it's
up
to
them,
where
they'd
like
to
live
during
construction,
if
there's
a
unit
available
and
also
just
explain
to
them
their
ability
to
return
to
the
site.
AG
AG
I
do
wonder
if,
for
the
remaining
items
on
here,
it
seems
like
the
same
misinformation
might
be
applicable
to
those
as
well,
so
it
might
be
worth
revisiting
if
we
need
to
have
completely
new
presentations
for
each
of
them
or
if
some
of
these
other
items
might
have
otherwise
been
approved
on
consent.
Maybe
we
can
be
a
little
bit
faster
about
the
following
months.
Thank
you.
C
AH
AK
Yeah,
I
appreciate
the
the
question
in
the
comments
so
yeah
we're
taking
advantage
of
modular
technology
which
is
fantastic.
You
know
we've
been
able
to
take
advantage.
It
uniquely
aligns
with
the
scatter
science
nature
of
this.
So
one
of
the
main
reasons
we
picked
modular
is
minimizing
the
impact
of
adjacent
neighbors,
since
the
majority
of
the
project
is
built
off-site.
AK
In
addition
to
that,
I'm
going
to
have
djr
start
preparing
for
a
response
on
the
design
piece.
So
none
of
these
build
there's
a
couple
of
instances
where
the
buildings
are
next
to
each
other,
so
repeat:
we're
paying
extra
attention
on
the
design
on
these
pieces.
But
if
you
can
see
on
on
slide
number
six,
a
lot
of
these
buildings
are
going
to
be
across
from
the
city
across
the
city
from
each
other.
So
they're
not
going
to
be
it's
not
like
we're
building
all
16
sites
across
one.
AK
You
know
one
area
or
concentrating
on
all
of
them
in
one
specific
spot,
so
we
thought
it
made
sense
to
be
able
to
save
on
construction
costs
and
being
able
to
be
able
to
develop
more
affordable
housing.
If
we
were
to
do
a
unique
design
for
every
single
one
of
these
sites,
it
would
be
very
cost
prohibitive.
But
we
worked
very
hard
to
make
unique
design
moves
on
the
exterior,
but
hopefully
djr's
on
the
line,
because
they
can
speak
more
more
eloquently
to
the
design
than
I
can.
AH
Yeah
I
mean,
I
guess
my
feedback:
is
you
don't
need
to
change
the
entire
design
elements
for
each
of
these
projects,
but
there's
a
way
to
add
a
lot
of
visual
interest
and
kind
of
make
them
feel
a
little
more
rooted
in
community
than
just
modular.
Housing
would
look,
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
what
djr
says
about
that.
C
K
AM
AJ
Outside
we,
we
have
more
flexibility,
so
we
are
looking
at
different
colors
that
that
we
can
use
like
one
explains,
there's
the
four
four
flex
on
the
six
plus
and
then
we
have
been
getting
a
lot
of
resident
feedback
on
on
the
x
here
on
what
happens
around
the
site.
So
there
are
quite
a
bit
of
differences
from
project
to
project.
AH
Yeah
I
mean
you
could
have
like
a
local
muralist
in
each
of
the
neighborhoods.
Do
on
one
of
the
sides
of
the
blank
wall
or
something
or
you
could
do
you
know
green
trellises,
like
you,
can
do
just
interesting
things
on
buildings
today
that
doesn't
have
to
make
it
look.
So
modular
is
what
I
mean,
of
course,.
AK
AA
C
S
Thank
you
just
so
I'm
clear
on
that.
I
I
think
I
echo
commissioner
marwan's
concerns
that
if
we,
if
there
is
a
prototype
of
this
typology
across
the
city
that
is
identical,
sort
of
like
making
sure
we
can
identify
mcdonald's
wherever
they
pop
up-
and
I
just
worry
a
little
bit
that
oh
yep,
there
goes
another
minneapolis
kind
of
affordable
housing
piece
that
there
is
some
care
to.
S
I
mean
the
minneapolis
neighborhoods
are
wonderfully
eclectic
and
I
think,
that's
part
of
their
their
charms,
whether
it's
either
through
the
landscaping
or
some
creative
application
in
different
instances.
So
we
aren't
kind
of
understanding
these.
I
understand
they're
going
to
be,
you
know,
placed
in
the
neighborhood
in
a
context,
but
when
you're
driving
around
the
city
and
understand
them
in
aggregate,
so
they
don't
have
the
the
same
effect
as
as
a
sort
of
a
franchisee.
AK
AN
Care,
commissioners,
thank
you.
This
is
brian
schaefer.
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
a
little
bit.
You
know
there
are
you
know
we
have,
as
juan
said,
16
sites
across
the
city.
This
design,
you
won't
be
able
to
see
very
frequently
as
you
drive
across
the
city,
unless
you're
very
distinctive,
as
you
go
through
that
map
that
juan
showed
in
the
presentation
slides.
AN
I
would
also
challenge
you
that
we
have.
The
city
has
a
history
of
having
you
know,
multiple
duplexes
next
to
each
other
that
have
the
exact
same
design,
they
might
use
a
different
material
cladding,
maybe
a
different
color
brick.
So
as
you're
considering
this
and
you're,
considering
this
one
individual
and
building
in
within
a
series
of
seven
more,
as
well
as
a
total
of
16,
which
again
the
portion
of
those
are
fourplexes.
AN
This
is
not
a
design.
These
aren't
isn't
a
characteristic
that
will
be
repeated
throughout
the
city
on
a
consistent
basis.
You,
if
you
you
recognize
a
one-story
duplex,
you
might
see
a
similar
one-story
duplex
somewhere
else
in
the
city
as
well,
but
this
is
not
a
site.
This
isn't
something
that's
going
to
be
consistent
throughout
and
I
would
push
back.
I
understand
the
comment,
but
also
want
to
recognize
that
the
project
is
distinctive.
L
AO
Sorry
hi:
this
is
amanda
pedersen
with
djr
architecture.
I
just
wanted
to
jump
in
as
well.
Sorry
I
tried
to
unmute
before
and
didn't
make
it
happen,
but
I
just
expanded
what
mauricio
said.
There
are
four
variations
that
are
that
we
have,
and
so
through
the
16
sites,
each
color
variation
will
be
only
repeated
twice
and
we
I
really
I
personally
drove
around.
C

F

C
H
Thank
you,
chair,
smiley
before
you
today,
at
2021,
24th
avenue
south
are
two
applications,
also
from
mpha
to
allow
the
construction
of
a
new
two-story
four-unit
building
in
recognition
of
the
discussion
that
happened
before
and
commissioner
meyer's
comments.
I
will
keep
this
relatively
brief,
this
property.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
is
an
interior
lot.
H
H
As
far
as
the
rezoning
is
concerned
again,
this
one
like
the
last
one.
The
rezoning
is
consistent
with
the
built
form
district
and
with
the
comprehensive
plan
guidance
for
the
property,
I'm
happy
to
go
into
more
detail.
If
any
commissioners
have
any
questions,
but
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
both
applications
subject
to
the
conditions,
as
listed
in
the
staff
report,.
C
C
C
J
Right,
thank
you
for
everyone
on
their
presentations,
I'm
mark
hostetti.
I
lived
in
the
property
neighboring
this
property
to
the
south.
We
share
a
property
line.
I've
been
talking
with
andrew
friends
and
I've
had
conversations
with
montours
took
a
while
to
track
down
andrew
through
the
offices
but
everybody's,
very
responsive.
J
I
think
it
would
potentially
diminish
property
values
next
to
being
on
a
where
we
kind
of
see
more
of
a
commercially
style
of
development,
regardless
of
whether
it's
private
or
city
and
I've
just
been
getting
a
lot
of
misinformation
about
this.
I
remember
being
in
the
in
the
seward
neighborhood
group
meeting.
J
They
were
saying
these
properties
are
already
being
built
by
rise,
modular,
there's,
a
presentation,
17-page
powerpoint
document
that
shows
there
are
8
000
applicants
for
low
serve,
for
am
I
property,
basically
for
low
income,
housing
or
affordable
housing,
and
now
I
just
hear
juan
say
that
there
was
8
000
people,
so
I
don't
know
if
that
means
the
whole
family.
You
know
mom,
dad
daughter,
child
all
put
in
an
application,
so
is
the
need
really
as
great
as
it's
supposed
to
be.
J
I've
also
heard
in
this
meeting
tonight
that
there
are
13
of
16
of
these
duplexes
that
currently
have
families
in
them
are
peoples
and
families
that
are
being
displaced
and
granted
they're.
Given
the
option
to
move
back
into
one
of
these
units,
there's
13
of
your
units
already
used
up
so
for
this
8
400
applicants
that
you
have
you're
building
84
units
around
the
city
and
you're
gonna
serve
less
than
one
percent
of
the
need.
J
J
C
Thank
you
for
your
comment.
This
actually
completes
the
list
of
our
registered
speakers.
If
there's
anyone
else
on
the
line
who
didn't
register
in
advance,
who
would
like
to
speak
to
this
item
right
now?
Please
press
star
six
on
yourself
and
then
continue
with
your
name
address
and
then
please
limit
your
comments
to
two
minutes.
C
AG
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
note
the
tension
between
some
of
the
comments
that
the
last
testifier
made,
because
on
the
one
hand,
they
say
that
they
would
accept
a
smaller
building
with
fewer
fewer
units.
On
the
other
hand,
they
note
that
the
housing
units
being
proposed
are
only
about
one
percent
of
the
wait
list.
AG
AG
AG
AG
F
C
H
Thank
you,
chair
smiley.
We
do
have
presentation
materials
for
this
one
as
well
before
you
today
are
four
applications
to
allow
the
construction
of
a
new
three-story
six-unit
building
at
2220
38th
street
east.
This
property
is
a
reverse
corner
lot,
located
at
the
intersection
of
east
38th
and
standish
avenue.
The
property
has
a
platted
front
yard
adjacent
to
338th
and
a
reverse
corner
front
yard
along
standish.
This
section
of
38th
street
is
a
designated
goods
and
services
corridor.
H
The
property
is
located
in
the
r1a
primary
zoning
district,
as
well
as
the
corridor
for
built
form
overlay
district
and
the
future
land
use
here
is
corridor
mixed
use.
If
we
could
advance
to
the
first
site
plan
slide,
please
in
the
case
of
this
property,
in
addition
to
seeking
the
rezoning
from
r1a
to
the
r3
district,
as
well
as
site
plan
review,
they're
seeking
two
variances.
If
we
could
go
ahead,
I
think
maybe
three
or
four
more
slides
to
the
first
site
plan.
Please.
H
We
are
recommending
approval
of
all
the
applications.
As
listed
in
the
staff
report.
You
know
this
property
as
a
reverse
corner
lot,
with
very
substantial
front
yard
setbacks
both
on
the
platted
lot
side,
as
well
as
the
reverse
corner
side,
would
be
an
unbuildable
property
without
variances
happy
to
talk
more
about
the
findings.
If
you
have
any
questions,
but
we
are
recommending
approval
subject
to
the
conditions
as
listed
in
the
staff
report.
Thank
you.
C
AK
The
only
thing
I
would
add
to
this
one
that
this
one's
a
you
know
all
of
these
sites
are
wonderful,
but
this
one
was
really
great
because
this
one's
actually
near
where
I
live-
and
you
know
this
area-
has
a
ton
of
access
to
transit.
There's
awesome
coffee
shops,
there's
amenities.
You
know
it's
a
wonderful
area,
wonderful,
neighborhood
and
people.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
we're
very
excited
about
I'm
personally
very
excited
about
this
site.
Nothing
else
to
add.
AP
AP
We
think
it's
great,
that
it's
different
from
the
other
houses
on
the
block
we
like
to
see
that
change.
We
fully
support
the
city's
vision
with
the
2040
plan
and
we
want
to
live
in
that
future
where
we
have
density
and
we
have
homes
that
provide
for
all
the
members
of
the
community,
there's
nothing
that's
more
important
than
that
goal
of
providing
safe
and
affordable
housing
and
opening
up
all
the
opportunities
that
these
families
will
be
able
to
pursue
once
they
have
this
housing
that
they
can
afford.
AP
So
we
think
it's
a
great
location,
just
as
juan
said,
I
would
add,
there's
an
elementary
school
just
two
blocks
away.
There
are
two
bus
lines:
it's
10-minute
walk
to
the
light
rail,
a
10-minute,
walk
to
the
grocery
store
in
a
park
and
a
fantastic
ice
cream
place.
So
all
the
things
that
make
it
great
for
my
family
will
also
make
it
great
for
these
new
people
that
we
look
forward
to
welcoming.
AP
C
C
AB
Sure
hello,
my
name
is
beth
durane
and
I
live
at
2308,
east
36
and
a
half
street,
which
is
less
than
three
blocks
from
this
proposed
site,
and
I'm
calling
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
zoning
plan.
I've
been
in
this
neighborhood
for
over
10
years
and
I've
seen
it
becoming
increasingly
less
affordable
to
own
and
rent
here,
and
this
area
is
working
class.
It's
normally
been
this
way
with
small
homes,
small
lots.
AB
We
have
had
numerous
luxury
apartments
going
up
along
38th
street
and
condos,
but
these
are
out
of
reach
for
many
residents
of
minneapolis.
So
I
welcome
any
plan
that
brings
truly
affordable
housing,
not
just
market
rate
to
the
city,
as
it's
desperately
needed
in
these
times,
without
building
more
truly
affordable
housing.
Our
city
will
continue
to
leave
many
of
the
most
struggling
residents
behind
and
that
is
simply
not
acceptable.
AB
The
only
comment
on
the
plan
is,
I
know,
there's
some
trees
on
the
property
that
currently
shade
the
house
that
will
be
demolished
and
I'm
sure
some
of
those
will
have
to
come
down.
So
I
hope
that
they
do
plan
on
building
some
shade
trees
for
the
residents
who
are
current
will
be
living
in
the
new
property
because
that's
appreciated
by
everyone.
C
C
C
C
I
We
all
need
a
place
to
live
and
we
all
need
to
be
wanted,
and
I
want
this
project
and
then
the
new
neighbors
that
will
live
there.
We
have
a
catastrophe
of
unaffordability,
like
the
last
speaker,
said
for
poor
working-class
people,
I'm
I'm
afraid
for
our
city,
and
I
think
I
understand
there
are
a
number
of
these
projects
across
the
city
and
to
me
we
need
a
hundred
of
them.
So
I'm
way
in
favor
of
it.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak.

Ahead,
all
right
hi,
this
is
mark
again
I
apologize
for
coming
in.
I
had
another
neighbor
on
the
line
that
experienced
such
a
delay
about
site,
15
that
the
vote
had
already
happened
before
they
were
prompted
to
speak
from
the
delay
of
their
whatever
they
were
calling
in
on.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
apparent
that
they
would
have
liked
to
speak,
but
now
they
have
passed
along
because
there.

Hello,
I'm
bonnie
beckel
and
I
live
at
35,
19,
23rd
avenue
south
just
like
three
blocks
from
the
proposed
project,
and
I
want
to
say
that
I
would
welcome.
I
do
welcome
this
affordable
housing
project
to
the
neighborhood.
I
think
it's
so
important.
You
know,
with
wages
being
barely
livable
for
people,
so
many
people
needing
way
more
than
one
job
to
thrive.
AQ
People
who
work
here
should
be
able
to
afford
to
live
here
and
there
needs
to
be
room
for
all
of
us
in
minneapolis.
So
there's
such
a
huge
need
for
affordable
housing,
so
glad
to
see
this
coming
to
the
neighborhood
and
look
to
the
city
to
develop
lots
more
public
housing
and
other
affordable
housing.
Thanks
for
listening.
C
F
L
L
We
have
a
great
block
that
watches
out
not
just
for
themselves,
but
for
each
other,
neighbors
enjoy
sitting
on
the
front
porches
and
conversing
with
passive
buyers
and
keeping
an
eye
on
what's
going
on
on.
Another
excuse
me
on
what's
happening
at
that
same
time
in
a
world
where
most
people
know
only
the
people
who
live
in
the
house
next
to
them.
L
L
There
are
a
number
of
us
neighbors
that
are
very
opposed
to
a
three-story
apartment,
building
being
put
up
on
the
spot,
as
it
will
change
the
dynamic
of
the
neighborhood
we
have
spent
years
working
to
create,
especially
when
there
are
options
that
would
make
everyone
happier
such
as
number
one.
The
home
that
currently
resides
in
this
space
is
a
four
bedroom
home,
which
is
very
hard
to
come
by
in
the
minneapolis
public
housing
table
of
home.
L
S
L
Each
lot
or
a
few
bucks
on
separate
lots,
two
stories
high
buildings
would
fit
better
in
the
other
building
than
on
two-story
high
buildings
would
fit
better
with
other
buildings.
On
the
block,
my
concerns
for
lack
of
parking
and
a
higher
car
and
foot
traffic
would
be
out
to
two-thirds.
In
closing,
I
would
like
to
point
out
your
mph8
in
your
excuse
me,
your
mpha
strategic
vision
statement,
which
was
adopted
in
2018
states
that
your
goal
is
to
demolish
and
replace
obsolete
units
with
four
flex
units.

This
property
is
an
interior
lot
located
along
34th
avenue
south
the
property
is
currently
located
in
the
r2b
district
and
occupied
by
a
single
family
home
which
would
be
demolished
for
the
proposed
project
when
we
do
get
to
the
we
do
get
the
presentation
materials
up,
but
we
could
go
to
the
first
site
plan
page.
Please.
H
This
property
is
subject
to
an
increased
established,
front
yard
setback,
which
varies
between
36.2
feet
and
37.7
feet
in
depth
and
they're,
seeking
your
variance
to
reduce
that
to
35.7
feet.
So
it's
a
just
a
slight
variance
there.
In
addition
to
the
site,
plan,
review
and
rezoning
applications,
we
are
recommending
approval
of
the
variance
application
as
well.
This
property
does
have
some
unique
practical
difficulties
here.
The
the
district
minimum
front
yard
setback
in
this
built
form
district
is
only
15
feet
and
so
the
increased
established
front
yard.
H
C
C
AK
K
AK
The
only
item
that
we'd
like
to
add-
or
you
know
highlight
as
andrew
mentioned,
is
that
we
are
providing
a
driveway
aisle
to
provide
parking
at
the
back
of
the
site
due
to
the
lack
of
alley
space.
So
you
can
see
that
this
is
the
main
unique
component
of
the
site
plan
compared
to
the
other
properties.
Thank
you.
C
AR
AR
AR
If
anyone
knows
this
area,
you'll
know
that
we
have
multiple,
multiple
buildings
within
a
couple
block:
radius
of
low
income,
sex
offenders,
etc,
etc.
We
deal
with
this
on
a
daily
basis.
I
absolutely
love
my
neighborhood
and
I
try
to
be
very
accepting
of
everything
and
I
have
for
17
years
as
a
as
a
single
person.
AR
I
have
worked
tirelessly,
including
taking
care
of
my
mother
with
dementia
and
working
six
jobs
at
one
time
to
afford
my
home
to
try
to
maintain
a
home
that
I
am
also
feel
comfortable
and
safe
in
and
it's
been
a
struggle.
I'm
very
concerned
about
this
building.
Next
to
my
home,
we've
had
prostitution,
drugs,
stolen
cars,
race,
car
driving,
many
people,
you
know
running
stoplights,
etc,
etc.
AR
AR
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
this
fits
into
us
citizens
who
have
worked
very
hard
to
purchase
a
home
and
a
happy
place
that
we
are
content
in
I'm
very
concerned
about
a
lot
of
the
trees
that
are
going
to
be
cut
down.
I
already
lost
a
lot
of
my
trees
to
different
different
things.
The
city
had
me
take
them
down
for
the
bug
that
goes
and
takes
the
tree
where
you
have
to
cut
them
down.
That
happened
to
mine
too.
So
now
I
am
without
trees
in
my
yard.
AR
AR
This
property
is
so
far
out
in
their
line
of
properties
that
they
do
not
have
time
to
get
out
here
very
often.
Well,
you
know
what
I
I
pay
my
taxes
and
I
really
would
appreciate
a
little
more
respect
than
that.
So
thanks
for
listening
my
concerns-
and
I
please
ask
you
to
oppose
this
project-
have
a
great
night.
C
C
AG
Yeah,
since
the
last
commenter
brought
it
up,
I
just
wanted
to
expand
on
what
my
objection
was.
You
know,
I
think
concentration
of
poverty
is
a
perfectly
legitimate
issue
to
bring
up.
I'm
really
not
okay
with
the
term
dumping
ground,
because
we're
talking
about
people-
and
that
implies
that
we're
that
the
people
are
garbage
or
trash.
So
I
think,
that's
a
really
inappropriate
term
to
use,
but
it
is
a
legitimate
issue.
AG
AI
C
D
F
C
H
Thank
you
again,
president
smiley,
for
you
today
is
another
similar
project
at
5139,
penn
avenue
south.
This
is
a
three-story
six
unit
version
of
the
project
similar
to
many
of
the
projects
we've
seen
tonight.
For
this
site
there
are
two
land
use
applications
the
property
is
interior
lot
currently
located
in
the
r1a
district,
as
well
as
the
corridor.
Three
built
form
overlay
district.
I
would
note
here
that
this
property
is
located
about
a
half
a
block
from
minnehaha
creek.
H
It
is
just
outside
of
the
shoreland
overlay
district,
but
is
not
within
the
shoreline
overlay
district.
So
for
this
property
they
are
just
seeking
the
rezoning
to
r3
reflecting
that
corridor.
Three
built
form
overlay
district
as
well
as
site
plan
review.
One
item
that
I
would
draw
your
attention
to
here
is
that
in
the
staff
report
there
is
a
section
in
the
project
description
addressing
that
on
the
submitted
plans
and
the
plans
published
with
the
staff
report.
H
You
should
have
received
revised
plans
earlier
today
from
rachel
that
provide
a
revised
civil
set.
That
accurately
reflects
the
architectural
set
and
incorporates
those
two
conditions
already
and
those
are
also
in
the
slides
here.
So
if
we
could
go
to
the
the
first
site
plan
page,
it
does
show
the
revised
building
footprint
should
be
probably
three
or
four
more
here
yep.
H
So
this
this
slide
here
shows
that
correction
made
so
that
the
architectural
set
and
civil
set
are
now
consistent
with
each
other
and
the
building
moved
slightly
to
the
rear
to
remain
outside
of
that
established,
front
yard
setback.
So
we
are
recommending
approval
of
both
the
rezoning
and
site
plan
review,
subject
to
the
stated
conditions
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
C
S
Quick
question
andrew:
you
know,
as
we've
been
going
through
these,
I
noticed
the
requirement
of
the
applicant
is
to
show
sort
of
an
aerial
with
the
sort
of
site
plan
sort
of
outlined,
but
no
requirement
to
show.
Actually
the
proposal
in
those
aerials
or
other
view,
is
that
typical,
or
is
that
perhaps
something
in
the
future?
I
think
would
be
really
great
to
begin
to
understand
these
buildings
in
context.
H
S
Think
you
know
we
show,
for
example,
on
you
know,
page
29,
you've
got
the
aerial
and
you've
got
different
pictures
of
the
building
and
then
the
next
page
you've
got
four
different
aerial
shots
of
the
site
in
context,
which
is
great,
it
sort
of
outlines
the
site
itself.
So
we
know
where
you
are
where,
where
it
is,
but
I
think
it'd
be
great
to
on
those
actually
show
the
proposal
massed
up
on
the
site.
S
So
we
really
get
an
understanding
of
yeah
on
this
one,
for
example,
yep
it's
great
to
identify
the
site,
I'm
actually
interested
in
what
the
proposal
looks
like
in
that
context-
and
I
think
I
noticed
too,
my
design
colleagues
do
a
great
job
of
showing
the
proposal
they
crop
it
in
nice
and
tight.
We
see
that
lovely
proposal,
but
if
we
could
step
back
a
little
bit
and
understand
a
little
bit
more
of
the
context,
I
think
it
helps
both
us
as
reviewers
and
the
city
understand
truly
what's
getting
proposed.
S
C
AK
AK
Yes,
so
one
item
to
mention
chair
and
commissioners,
thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
behalf
of
mpha
for
this.
So
one
item
to
note
here,
specifically
the
the
rendering
that's
shown
actually
is
specific
to
this
site.
So
we
worked
hard.
You
know
to
demonstrate
on
this
particular
site,
the
adjacent
building.
So
from
an
architectural
perspective,
it
is
a
computer
generated
image,
but
the
adjacent
properties
do
match
what
currently
exists.
AK
One
thing
that's
awesome
about
these
units
is
that
we
are
providing
accessible
units
that
are
much
needed,
ada
on
the
ground
floor,
accessible
on
the
ground
floor,
so
part
of
that
great
change
is
to
make
sure
that
if
someone
were
to
to
live
at
this
property
with
a
wheelchair,
they
have
access
and
a
ramp
to
enter
their
unit,
both
from
the
front
and
the
back
as
part
of
requirement
from
a
code,
city
and
state
perspective.
You
know
all
the
grading
was
done
to
match
the
existing
properties
as
well.
AK
S
S
I
think,
and
some
of
the
others
weren't
quite
as
tight
as
this
one,
but
I
think
I
do
appreciate
that
and
thank
you
for
for
pointing
that
out.
I
think
for
me,
though,
even
though
you
show
mass
the
existing
buildings,
you
know
pulling
back
even
further,
so
we
see
a
little
bit
more
context
in
the
street.
Give
us
a
greater
appreciation
for
the
terrific
attention
of
detail
that
you
put
into
making
sure
this
gets
grafted
in.
So
thank
you.

Steven

there's
anyone
else
on

M
AG
C
I
just
want
to
say
this
is
a
comment
for
all
the
items.
I
want
to
appreciate
everyone
who
has
called
in
to
show
their
support
for
various
projects,
because
we
tend
to
not
necessarily
hear
those
types
of
comments
in
these
situations,
so
I
really
appreciate
it
and
I
want
to
encourage
anyone
else
in
the
future
to
please
do
call
in
if
you
support
a
project
as
well.
D
C
AS
AS
That
will
be
our
first
meeting
of
the
year.
We
chose
january
3rd
because
that
is
before
the
potential
expiration
of
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency.
So
we
know
that
will
still
be
a
virtual
meeting
so
january
3rd,
we'll
touch
base,
as
I
get
closer
to
that,
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
have
a
quorum
with
it
coming
right
after
the
holidays,
and
then
I
did
want
to
let
you
know
that
we
received
appeals
of
two
items
that
were
in
front
of
the
commission
on
november.
