G
B
All

commissioner

B
That's
right,
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll
on
the
motion.
B
All
right
that
motion
passes
up
next
is
the
consent
agenda.
Tonight
we
have
six
items
on
the
consent
agenda
and
five
of
those
items
are
various
land
transfers
for
the
upper
harbor
terminal
and
staff
is
so
we're
gonna
we're
gonna,
hear
the
presentation
of
all
five
of
those
together
and
staff
is
jim
voll.
F
Hello,
I'm
I'm
jim
vale,
I'm
a
planner
in
the
community
planning
long-range
planning,
division
of
cped,
I'm
also
joined
by
hillary
holmes,
who
is
a
in
the
business
development
division
of
cpad
and
is
one
of
the
project
managers
of
the
upper
harbor
terminal
project.
She
can
help
with
any
questions
and
then,
although
not
presenting
just
listening
and
hillary
dvorak
is
here
who
will,
as
you
know,
be
taking
this
project
through
the
planning
commission
for
the
land
use
approvals,
but
the
four
items
that
we
have
are
for
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
here.
F
Can
everybody
see
the
screen
then
so
for
parcel
1b
parcel
2,
which
is
this
long
parcel
here,
parcel
five
and
parcel
6a
and
then
there's
the
item.
Number
eight
is
for
an
easement,
and
some
of
the
terminology
is
a
little
bit
different
than
you
normally
see,
because
some
of
these
items
are
land
conveyances
and
that
would
be
for
parcel
1
b,
parcel
5
and
parcel
6a
the
city's
not
selling
those
they
will
be
99
year
leases,
so
people
say
well.
Why
is
this
on
here
for
a
land
sale
then?
F
Well,
because
state
statute
says
that
if
the
city
does
a
long
term
lease,
the
planning
commission
has
to
do
a
review
just
like
it
would
do
for
a
land
sale.
So
the
term
is
conveyance
you're
reviewing
it
for
conformance
with
the
comp
plan,
like
you
would
a
land
sale,
but
just
for
anybody
who's
wondering
like
hey.
I
thought
this
was
going
to
be
a
99
year
lease.
It
will
be
a
99
year.
F
Lease
parcel
2
is
a
land
sale
review
for
conformance
with
the
comp
plan,
because
we
are
going
to
sell
that
to
the
park
and
rec
board
eventually
and
then
the
last
one
which,
as
you
know,
there's
an
excel
power
line
which
will
be
relocated
to
where
this
red
pinkish
reddish
dot
is.
We
have
to
provide
an
easement
for
that
overhead
power
line
to
be
moved
there,
and
that
goes
over
parcels,
two
three
four
and
five,
so
that
is
a
conveyance
of
an
easement,
and
so
I
can
go
into
any.
F
F
Housing
with
ground
floor
retail
and
it's
mixed
both
of
the
housings
are
mixed
income.
Affordable
housing
is
the
goal,
and
so
all
of
those
uses
would
be,
in
conformance
with
the
land
use
designations
in
minneapolis
2040..
Now,
you're
not
approving
those
projects,
they're
still
going
to
come
through
as
they
come
through
for
site
plan
review
and
all
the
other
things,
and
then
the
planning
of
the
site
will
be
coming
through
in
the
next
month
or
so
so
you're
not
reviewing
or
approving
into
that
you're.
F
And
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
Thank
you,
commissioners.
Any
discussion
or
questions
about
any
of
the
first
five
consent
items
here,
or
would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion.
D
B
Okay,
is
there
a
second
well
it's
hard
hold
on
commissioner
ford.
We
want
a
motion
for
consistency
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
Is
that
what
you're.
B
Great
all
right
do
we
have
a
second.
H
A
B
I
Okay,
yes,
commissioners,
hello,
I'm
adrienne,
bochem,
I'm
a
principal
planner
in
cped
today,
I'm
presenting
the
malcolm
yards
housing
tax,
increment
financing
plan,
malcolm
yards
housing,
is
part
of
phase
one
of
a
larger
development
project
located
in
prospect
park
neighborhood
at
the
intersection
of
fifth
street
and
malcolm
avenue.
Within
one
block
of
the
green
lines
prospect
park
station
on
29th
avenue.
I
Phase
one
of
the
project
includes
the
six-story,
affordable
apartment
building,
as
well
as
a
seven-story
mixed-use.
Building
with
market
rate
apartments
and
commercial
space.
The
affordable
housing
building
will
provide
44
units
of
affordable
housing.
It
was
approved
by
the
city
planning
commission
on
october
5th
of
2020..
I
All
tax
increment
generated
by
the
market
rate
building
will
be
allocated
to
affordable
housing.
The
market
rate
building
will
not
receive
any
financial
benefit
from
being
located
within
the
proposed
tif
district
staff
finds
that
the
plan
is
consistent
with
minneapolis
2040.
The
future
land
use
of
the
site
is
guided
as
production
mixed

and
the

Comprehensive
plan
policies
support
this
project.
Those
policies
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
increasing
the
supply
of
housing,
especially
multi-family
housing.
With
higher
densities

and
infrastructure,
to
create
walkable

districts
staff
finds
that
the
planning
or
recommends
that
the
planning
commission
recommend
approval
of
the
malcom

B
Thank
you,
commissioners.
Are
there
any
questions
or
discussion,
or
would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion
for
consistency
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
B
You-
and
that
was
commissioner
baxley
and
I'll
call
on
commissioner
ford
next.
A
B
All
right
that
motion
passes
and
that's
the
end
of
our
consent
agenda.
Moving
on
to
our
discussion
agenda
item
number
one
is
number
well
number.
One
on
the
discussion
agenda
is
number
10,
3536,
niklet
avenue
and
staff
is
andrew
friends.
J
Good
afternoon,
commissioners,
today,
for
your
preliminary
feedback
is
a
proposed
project
at
35,
3536,
nicollet
avenue.
The
proposed
project
is
a
new
six
story,
residential
building
which
would
contain
196
units.
This
project
site
is
located
on
nicolette
avenue
in
the
lindale
neighborhood.
It's
a
large
site
of
just
over
one
acre,
which
was
formerly
occupied
by
a
single-story
shopping
center
that
was
destroyed
during
last
year's
unrest,
along
with
surface
parking
that
served
that
shopping
center.
The
existing
zoning
of
the
site
is
c2
with
the
corridor.
J
The
applicant
team
can
speak
more
thoroughly
to
the
design
of
the
project,
but
just
as
an
overview,
and
they
are
proposing
a
two-level
148
stall
parking
garage
consisting
of
one
level
underground,
as
well
as
additional
enclosed
parking.
At
the
first
floor,
there'd
be
two
access
points
to
that
garage.
J
One
curb
cut
on
niklet
at
the
south
end
of
the
building,
as
well
as
alley
access
to
the
to
the
rear
that
alley
access
point
is
designed
such
that
it
would
only
provide
access
to
and
from
the
south
and
would
not
allow
access
to
and
from
the
north
in
the
alley
along.
Niklat,
residential
lobby
and
amenity
spaces
would
comprise
the
entire
frontage
and
screen
the
parking
garage
above
the
first
floor.
There
would
be
five
floors
that
would
be
c-shaped
and
planned
containing
the
residential
component
of
the
project.
J
There
would
be
common
roof
decks
at
the
second
floor
at
the
inside
of
that
sea
and
then
at
the
corner
of
the
building.
On
the
sixth
floor,
the
building
would
be
primarily
clad
in
brick
and
metal
panel,
with
the
brick
largely
concentrated
on
the
front
elevation
and
wrapping
around
the
side
elevations
for
the
first
bay
of
units.
J
Based
on
the
plans
as
submitted,
the
applications
that
would
be
needed
would
be
a
variance
to
increase
the
maximum
lot
area
in
the
corridor.
Six,
that
maximum
lot
area
is
43
560
feet,
which
is
one
acre
to
increase
that
maximum
lot
area
to
45
556
square
feet.
J
It's
a
little
bit
of
a
unique
situation
here,
where
the
existing
lot
exceeds
the
maximum
lot
area,
so
they're
not
combining
parcels
to
create
that
larger
lot
or
that
need
for
variance
it's
the
existing
lot
that
exceeds
the
the
maximum
lot
area
and
it
only
slightly
exceeds
that
maximum
lot
area.
The
variance
amounts
to
an
increase
of
just
under
five
percent
to
the
maximum
lot
area,
and
the
project
would
of
course,
also
require
site
plan
review.
J
They
would
also
need
two
administrative
applications
so,
as
proposed
there
would
need
to
be
one
far
premium
and
as
submitted,
the
project
would
meet
the
standards
for
the
enclosed
parking
premium,
and
then
the
project
would
require
a
minor
travel
demand.
Management
plan,
along
with
other
feedback
staff,
is
primarily
interested
in
the
commission's
feedback
on
two
components
of
the
project.
J
First,
the
a
residential
building
of
this
scale
requires
one
small
loading
space
as
currently
proposed
that
space
would
be
provided
unenclosed
at
the
rear
of
the
building
adjacent
to
the
alley.
This
configuration
as
submitted
would
require
alternative
compliance
to
the
landscaping
and
screening
standards
and
wouldn't
be
particularly
convenient
to
the
building's
elevators
staff
has
some
concern
that
this
alternative
compliance
may
not
be
appropriate,
given
the
adjacent
residential
uses
that
are
present
to
the
south
and
the
west.
J
So
with
that,
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Otherwise
I
believe
the
applicant
team
would
like
to
present
as
well.
Thank
you.
K
Great
hi,
my
name
is
jeff
paul
and
I'm
one
of
the
founders
of
hall
sweeney
properties,
along
with
my
partner,
shawn
shaw,.
L
K
You
can
wave
we're
a
minneapolis
developer
with
a
combined
40
years
of
experience,
which
means
we're
getting
old.
Also
with
us
tonight
is
kaiser
huddleston.
K
If
you
could
wave
kaiser
our
development
associate
and
our
excellent
architects,
pete
kealy
and
josh
shanson
wave
guys
of
collage
architects,
we
were
contacted
by
the
property
owners
after
their
existing
building
was
destroyed
last
year
and
they
wanted
us
to
help
them
reimagine,
future
use
for
the
site,
sean
and
I
developed
seven
projects
in
minneapolis
over
the
last
few
years
and
our
focus
is
on
neighborhood
development,
we're
long-term
owners
and
investors.
So
we
really
try
to
build
quality
projects
and
design
is
a
really
key
component
for
us.
M
Oh
thanks,
jeff,
I
think
josh
is
going
to
run
through
the
plans,
but
just
kind
of
want
to
point
out
a
real
kind
of
high
level
thing.
In
terms
of
you
know.
We
understand
this
is
a
large
building
and
we
understand
that
there
is
really
kind
of
a
a
change.
That's
on
nicolette
avenue
so
from
one
and
two-story
buildings
that
are
there
now
to
essentially
corridor
six.
M
That's
roughly
about
two
stories
to
try
to
tie
into
some
of
the
existing
buildings
along
nicolette
avenue,
and
then
the
three
part
you
kind
of
saw
a
three-part
scheme
horizontally,
is
to
kind
of
take
the
the
building
to
the
north
and
take
that
proportion
and
then
kind
of
start
to
replicate
it
as
three
individual
pieces.
M
So
we're
kind
of
in
this
fine
line
of
wanting
to
break
the
building
up
but
trying
to
keep
it
simple
and
not
too
many
materials
and
not
too
broken
up
so
love
to
hear
some
input
on
that
and
then
also
on
the
ground
floor.
We
really
did.
We
are
stepping
back
the
middle
of
this
of
the
building
to
create
actually
a
larger
setback
from
the
sidewalk.
M
We
haven't
really
come
up
with
what
that
is
yet
in
terms
of
use,
but
we're
really
trying
to
kind
of
enhance
that
sidewalk
area
and
then,
as
far
as
providing
active
front,
which
josh
will
go
through
in
a
minute.
We
do
have
kind
of
a
co-working
space
on
the
northeast
corner,
residential
amenities
and
and
on
the
rest
of
it,
understanding
that
there's
a
fair
amount
there,
but
we're
looking
at
breaking
it
up
in
a
couple
ways.
M
L
Yeah,
that's
great,
you
guys
did
such
a
great
job.
I
don't
know
if
we
need
to
discuss
any
more
but
yeah,
I
think
from
the
the
onset
taking
the
the
building
to
the
north,
a
nice
housing
project
to
the
north
and
replicating
that
depth
of
that
building
at
60.
Feet
was
kind
of
a
first
move
in
creating
two
two
knuckle
pieces
on
the
ends:
the
of
the
project
allowing
to
step
back
the
middle
portion.
So
right
now
we
you
know
we're
for
per
the
2040.
L
You
know
we
have
a
maximum
setback
of
eight
feet,
which
is
shown
right
here
and
you
can
see
the
existing
building
to
the
north.
Actually,
a
step
back
20
feet
that
20
feet
is
reflected
to
the
north.
Where,
where
you
know
we
have
some
retail
well,
everything
is
step
back
to
that
20
feet,
including
the
retail
properties
that
are
at
the
intersection
of
30,
35th
and
nicolette.
L
So
right
now
we're
showing
eight
feet
at
the
knuckles
that
anchor
the
project
and
then
looking
at
right
now,
based
on
our
conversations
with
kfna
and
and
and
lna
neighborhood
committees,
to
try
to
act,
activate
this
this
street
front
more
and
what
we
can
do
so
upon
entry
you'd
come
into
a
two-story
lobby,
space
equipped
to
the
north,
with
the
co-working
gallery
space
and
then
on
the
south
end
the
fitness
we're
still
in
process
of
working
out
what
this
lobby
is
going
to
be,
but
we
would
like
to
get
a
solid
connection
up
to
our
green
space
and
our
green
amenity,
that
is
in
sort
of
the
the
horseshoe
of
the
building.
L
So
again,
you
know
activating
these
fronts.
What
is
the
nature
of
you
know
the
space
in
in
front
of
our
lobby?
Do
we
want
it
to
be
more
green
and
natural,
or
is
it
paved?
Is
it
you
know?
How
does
it
integra
engage
with
the
public
realm
and
looking
at
the
depth
of
the
facades
and
sort
of
the
rhythms
to
break
it
up
at
every
25
feet,
to
reinforce
sort
of
that
commercial
corridor?
L
That
I
think
people
have
responded
to
that
they
that
they're
looking
for
so
as
you
go
up
the
building
steps
back
continuously
in
the
midrift
of
the
building
to
try
to
give
prominence
to
these
end
conditions
and
then,
as
you
go
up
again
even
further,
we
shave
back
on
the
sixth
floor
along
the
corners
of
the
building
the
unit
mix.
I
don't
know
if
we
talked
about
that.
L
We
have
196
units
at
you,
know
that
range
from
400
square
feet
to
850
square
feet,
we're
still
working
out
all
the
numbers
there,
just
based
on
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
on
the
first
floor
and
rounding
out
our
amenity
package.
L
But
I
will
show
you
sort
of
where
we
have
started
this
process
with
the
the
look
of
the
building
and
just
give
you
sort
of
an
in-process
look
at
how
we're
looking
to
engage
with
the
materials
of
the
neighborhood,
the
landscape
out
front,
differentiating
the
midriff
of
the
building,
how
we're
pushing
the
facade
in
and
out
to
create
more
of
an
active
front,
as
you
know,
and
as
pete
said,
really
trying
to
give
infinite
emphasis
on.
L
You
know
the
first
two
levels
here:
the
neighboring
building
is
roughly
about
38
feet
in
height,
which
puts
it
at
about
right,
where
my
hand
is
here
so
creating
this
data
on
that
two-story
really
makes
the
existing
building,
I
think,
fit
in
a
little
bit
better
with
the
entire
scale
of
the
building.
B
Commissioners
questions
discussion,
feedback.
B
I'll
start
by
saying
I
don't
really
have
a
problem
with
the
loading
space
where
it
is,
but
I
I
also
don't
think
very
many
people
use
it,
which
is
why
I
think
it
probably
wouldn't
be
a
problem
but
and
that
kind
of
defeats
the
purpose
of
a
loading
space.
So
I'm
not
really
sure
what
other
location
that
could
go,
but
I
just
don't
think
it'll
be
used
much.
D
Thank
you,
I'm
trying
to
find
in
the
material
from
the
developer
and
from
collage.
Is
there
a
west
elevation?
I
can't
find
it.
Maybe
I'm
just
missing
it
somewhere.
M
Okay
should
be
that
on
the
screen,
so
what
you're
seeing
is
the
two
ends
of
the
building
and
the
courtyard
setback
is
kind
of
grayed
out
in
the
middle,
so
the
site,
actually
one
of
the
things
on
the
site
is
the
north.
I'm
sorry,
the
southwest
corner
of
the
site
slopes
up
quite
a
bit
from
the
from
the
north
to
the
south
that
there's
kind
of
a
little
hill
at
the
south.
M
Yeah
that
would
get
flattened
out
a
little
bit
and
part
of
the
reason
we
put
the
loading
dock
there
there's
kind
of
twofold
part.
One
is,
as
we
were,
developing
the
plan
and
we
so
we've
we've
met
with
alan
klugman
at
the
city,
we've
met
with
paul
miller,
we've
gotten
our
tdmp
bill
smith
on
board
to
talk
about
access.
So
we've
looked
at
a
number
of
different
access
points
and
through
conversation,
we've
got
the
access
on
the
south
end
of
the
building
that
that's
probably
the
easiest
to
get
in
and
out
on
nikola
avenue.
M
The
concern
about
the
access
point
in
and
out
at
that
location
is
that
there
is
enough
traffic
here
to
potentially
create
an
issue
coming
in
or
going
out.
So
there
was
some
desire
to
put
an
outlet
so
to
speak
on
the
south
end.
Now
that's
a
kind
of
a
narrow
alley.
So
what
we're
proposing
on
this
and
based
on
kind
of
the
overall
circulation
of
35th
and
36th
36,
and
it's
the
access
point
to
to
35w
so
35th
is
actually
a
one-way.
M
So
it
people
going
north
is
probably
not
going
to
happen
very
often
so
we're
hoping
that
we
can
encourage
them
to
go
south,
but
if
we
dump
too
much
traffic
into
the
alley,
we
were
concerned
about
the
number
of
cars
and
people
kind
of
short
circuiting
it.
So
the
answer
to
that
was
to
actually
widen
the
alley
at
that
location,
and
so
it's
basically
concreted
off
and
that
allows
any
car
that's
coming
one
way
or
the
other
along
the
alley
to
pass
each
other.
M
M
So
some
of
the
larger
buildings
have
larger
vehicles
that
are
trying
to
load
in
and
out,
and
they
just
actually
can't
fit
under
the
parking
garages.
So
yeah
we
can
get
the
the
vans
in.
We
can
identify
a
secondary
one
on
the
inside,
but
height
is
an
issue.
So
what
somebody
would
do
is
they
would
pull
in
they'd
come
down
the
alley.
They'd
pull
into
this
location,
open
the
back
doors
of
a
big
bigger
vehicle,
open
the
door
and
go
straight
to
the
right
into
the
move-in
move
out
elevator.
M
D
One
last
question:
if
I
can
so
looking
at
that
west
elevation
there,
there
are
no
nice
pictures
of
that
that
just
a
schematic
or
whatever,
whatever
the
correct
name
is.
But
what
will
the
materials
be
then,
on
that
west
elevation.
L
So
this
is
going
to
be
primarily
masonry
base
along
the
entire
north,
south
and
west
sides
and,
as
we
elevate
past
the
first
floor,
it
will
transition
into
metal
and
hardy.
G
I
would
I
do
appreciate
the
sketches
presented
earlier
as
part
of
your
investigation.
So
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
that's
going
to
flesh
out
versus
what
we're
seeing
here,
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
great
development,
I
think
initially,
when
I
opened
up
the
big
gray
boxes,
it
was
a
so
nice
setup
for
that,
because
this
is
lovely
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
here.
We
can
take
from
that.
Yes,
my
first
question
is
that
you
know
there
we
are
really
pushing
this
forward
onto
the
street.
G
In
fact,
you
know
there's
not
a
lot
of
it
was
a
kind
of
a
fairly
generous
setback
on
on
nikola
there,
and
this
big
building
is
now
pushing
itself
even
further
into
that
public
realm,
and
so
I
think
your
concerns
about
what
that
activation
is
and
the
sort
of
articulation
along
the
street
if
we
are
going
to
play
that
that
big,
a
role
in
the
interruption
of
that
public
realm
has
to
be,
has
to
be
really
good,
and
I
think
I
would
for
me
it's
about
a
little
bit
of
of
depth
the
building.
G
It's
got
some
in
and
outs
in
the
ground
floor,
but
it
is
still
pretty
plainer
and
I
think
anything
you
can
do
to
create
some
shadow.
Some
little
sense
of
the
building
is
beginning
to
move
back
out
of
the
public
realm,
whether
that's
a
more
gracious
canopy
at
entry,
where
we
can
recess
that
center
portion
a
little
bit
more.
I
think
that
sense
of
relief
for
a
pedestrian
and
the
sort
of
you
know
occupation
of
that
space
would
be
would
be
welcome.
G
I
think
also
really
articulating
the
two-story
quality
of
that
center
section.
You
know
I
think,
playing
that
up
and
not
worrying
about
that
sort
of
first
floor
datum
running
through
there,
the
the
sort
of
balance
of
reinforcing
the
two
sides
and
the
role
that
those
proportions
play
in
the
street
that
can
be
different.
I
would
I
would
I
would
for
me
I
would
back
off,
and
I
think
that
variety
would
actually
be
welcome
and
kind
of
more
visual
access
to
that
two-story
space
would
get
at
some
of
the
concerns
about
that
activation.
G
I'm
not
worried
about
the
you
know
at
all
being
lobby.
I
think
there
could
be
plenty
activation
with
that,
but
I
think
architecturally,
a
little
more
differentiation
of
that
centerpiece
playing
up
that
two-story
would
be
would
be
really
nice.
I
think
the
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
activity
on
that
loading
corner.
I
mean
that
is
just
that's
gonna,
be
pretty
intense,
so
scheduling
and
staging
are
gonna,
be
critical
for
that
and
just
a
cursory
glance
at
some
of
the
parking
layouts
on
the
inside.
G
I
think
you
know
where
we've
got
trying
to
maximize
that
out,
where
we're
not
having
a
through
circulation
those
in
spots,
pretty
tough
to
get
in
and
out
of,
I'm
sure
you'll
look
at
those
and-
and
I
have
a
tough
time
getting
into
those
I'm
sure
everybody
does
so
but
anyway,
I
think
there's.
G
I
think
you're
really
working
on
breaking
down
the
mass
is
there,
although
those
big
corners,
I
think
these
are
are
much
more
encouraging
than
than
the
ones
in
the
package.
So
I
would
continue
on
on
that
and
really
focus
on
some
relief
to
that
lower
level.
M
Oh,
the
commissioner
baxley
thanks
for
that
input.
I
think
that's
great,
and
one
of
the
things
I
do
want
to
point
out
is
that
we
are
at.
We
actually
pulled
the
building
as
far
back
as
kind
of
allowed,
so
to
speak,
which
is
an
eight
foot
maximum,
and
so
we
are
actually
at
eight
foot
maximum
on
the
two
ends
and
then
an
additional
additionally
in
the
middle.
So
and
andrew,
maybe
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
that
it
does
fall
under
alternative
site
compliance.
J
Yeah,
that's
correct
right,
so
the
the
site
plan
review
standards-
you
know
with
the
intent
of
of
reinforcing
a
street
wall,
you
know,
do
encourage
buildings
to
locate
within
eight
feet
of
the
front
property
line.
So
if
they
want
to
go
further
than
eight
feet
back,
they
would
need
alternative
compliance
that
may
be
appropriate
here.
You
know
this
is
pretty
unique.
I
think
this
stretch
of
niklet
is
very
unique.
One
of
the
only
places
in
the
entire
city
where
we
see
traditional
storefront
commercial
buildings
that
are
set
back
significantly
from
the
sidewalk.
J
I
I
didn't
know
this
until
josh
pointed
it
out
when
we
were
talking
about
this
project,
but
at
one
point
the
niklet
right
of
way
was
actually
wider
than
it
is
today.
The
physical
street
was
never
widened,
but
the
right-of-way
was
widened
and
then
vacated,
and
so
that's
why
a
lot
of
those
buildings
are
are
set
back
so
far,
so
it
is.
It
is
pretty
unique
in
that
way
how
far
every
other
building
on
the
block
is
set
back.
J
G
Yeah,
I
think
I
don't
know
if
I
would
suggest
that,
but
I
think
it's
certainly
an
opportunity
to
play
back
and
forth
with
that
line
to
create
both
activity.
Some
relief
that
we're
talking
about
you
know,
maybe
the
you
know
the
corners
respect
that
then
it
folds
back.
I
think
the
you
know
the
the
team
certainly
has
the
talent
ability
to
kind
of
pull
off.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner
baxley
commissioner
marwa.
N
Hi,
thank
you.
My
comments
are
regarding
the
staff
question
number
two
primarily
around
the
the
frontage
and
the
pedestrian
scale
and
kind
of
how
I
mean
I.
This
is
a
major
corridor.
It's
a
major
thoroughfare,
as
we
know.
I
think
this
building
does
not
bring
a
lot
of
interest
to
the
street
this
this
sketch,
it
looks,
makes
it
look
a
little
bit
more
exciting,
but
the
renderings
you
have
with
the
gray
paneling
all
throughout
the
entire
ground
floor
I
mean
we
already
live
in
a
very
snowy
gray
environment.
N
I
think
bringing
a
little
more
liveliness
to
it,
engaging
artists
to
do
some
full.
You
know
ffa
on
the
ground
floor
of
that
space,
there's
so
many
artistic
elements
you
could
be
bringing
to
such
a
major
thoroughfare
where
this
is
that
I'm
just
not
seeing
right
now.
So
I'd
love
to
hear
your
guys's,
what
you've
got
done
kind
of
how
have
you
engaged
the
community
and
how
could
you
kind
of
bring
some
of
that
inspiration
into
a
building
like
this,
especially
as
far
as
the
pedestrian
scale
is
going.
M
Yeah,
I
guess
I
would
say
that's
the
process
we're
in
right
now,
so
you
know
we
want
to
get
to
the
committee
of
the
whole.
You
know
and
get
input
early.
We
want
to
get
to
the
neighborhood
earlier
to
kind
of
verify,
some
of
the
other,
bigger
broader
issues
and
kind
of
figure
out
the
touch
point
so
to
speak.
So
I
would
say:
that's
the
process.
We're
at
josh
has
shared
some
of
our
thinking
in
how
we're
starting
to
approach
from
what
we've
submitted
to
where
we
are
now.
M
So
we
can
take
some
of
those
comments
and
really
start
developing.
You
know
more
street
life
is
kind
of
what
we're
hearing
and
that's
massing,
pulling
in
and
out
and
maybe
engaging
artists.
I
will
say
that
on
46th
and
mini
jeff
and
sean
did
engage
with
the
arts
community.
We
do
have
an
artist
coming
in.
We
are
so
we're
actively
kind
of
creating
that
space
with
community
input,
and
so
you
know
we're
still
trying
to
build
that
process.
N
L
M
What
the
process
on
minnehaha,
maybe
jeff,
you
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we've
you
know.
Who
we've
been
talking
about
on
that
one.
M
M
Not
necessarily
because
we
kind
of
approach
each
one
of
them
differently,
but
so
we're
trying
to
I
mean
part
of
this
is
designing
the
process
so
and
finding
who
to
talk
to
in
the
you
know
who
are
the
right
people
and
how
do
we
approach
it
and
what's
the
history
of
the
site,
so,
on
the
46
of
many,
we
took
the
idea
of
the
history
of
the
site
and
and
it
being
kind
of
from
an
indigenous
culture
and
we're
looking
at
some
of
the,
whether
it's
the
naming
or
the
patterns
in
the
in
the
sidewalk
and
we've
got
kind
of
an
artistic
canopy
over
the
top
of
it.
M
N
M
N
N
D
Thank
you,
I'm
I'm
going
back
to
is.
This
was
not
one
of
the
issues
raised
by
staff,
but
I'm
going
back
to
that.
West
elevation
of
the
the
alley
the
alley
side
and
on
the
east
side
of
blaisdell
across
the
alley
is,
as
I
recall,
mostly
single
family
houses,
some
duplexes.
D
I
can't
recall
if
there's
a
three-story
apartment
building
in
there
and
a
two
and
a
half
story
apartment
building.
I
don't
think
so,
but
anyway,
that
that
is
so.
It's
a
bunch
of
folks
with
backyards
and
you're,
offering
them
a
fairly.
I
think,
oppressive
bunch
of
of
gray
metal,
and
I
think
I'm
so
I
mean
I
guess,
I'm
inviting
you
to
be
a
little
bit
more
responsive
to
the
neighbors
in
that
on
that
side
and
perhaps
be
a
little
bit
more
inventive
on
how
it
might
look.
M
Well,
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
you
know-
maybe
doing
some
additional
things
to
it,
but
I
will
say
it's
a
u-shaped
building,
so
we
did
very
purposefully,
reduce
the
mass
and
the
scale
that
was
facing
the
west
neighbors
and
we've
also
stepped
that
back
on
the
fifth
floor,
so
we're
on
the
top
floor
to
kind
of
reduce
scale
and
provide
some
more
sun
angles.
So
we
can
continue
to
look
at.
You
know
what
that
means
and
how
that
looks.
P
Thank
you.
We
have,
commissioner,
for
what
it's
worth.
This
is
sean
sweeney,
one
of
the
owners
I
I've
already
we've
engaged
with
a
couple
of
the
neighbors
who
live
on
that.
O
P
Positive
feedback
so
far,
but
it's
a
it's
a
good
comment
and
we'll
certainly
take
that
under
advisement.
The
one
thing
I
want
to
mention
we,
as
just
stated
in
the
beginning,
obviously
the
design
of
these
buildings,
the
materials
is
something
we
spend
a
lot
of
time.
Thinking
through
and
working
on.
We
try
to
not
be
the
developers
that
bring
buildings
to
the
market
that
have
17
different
colors
on
them.
I
think
we've
got
enough
of
those
out
there
right
now.
We
are
really
minimalistic,
simple,
very
high
quality
materials.
B
All
right,
commissioner,
baxley.
G
I
think
one
last
comment
as
you
develop
these
and
and
present
them
when
we
talk
about
how
it
stitches
into
the
neighborhood.
Please
make
sure
that
the
context,
especially
on
these
perspectives,
if
we're
keying
off
the
larger
multi-family
building,
make
sure
it's
in
the
you
know
again.
I
think
it's
it's
really
important
for
us
to
see
those
efforts
proportions
scale
in
context
so
that
I
know
you're
starting
early
on
with
this
we'll
get
there,
but
both
elevationally
and
three-dimensionally.
G
I
think
that
representation
helps
us
understand
the
story
and
your
efforts
around
what
what
context
means
and
why
this
building
is
what
it
is.
So,
please
include
those
on
the
next
one
would
be
very
helpful.
Thank
you.
B
B
Q
All
right,
so
this
project
is
2603
bloomington,
since
the
last
time
that
this
project
came
to
the
committee
of
the
whole,
they
also
added
a
parcel
just
to
the
south
2621
bloomington
avenue.
So
the
lot
area
has
increased
from
29
230
square
feet
to
35
652
square
feet,
and
this
would
be
considered
well
sorry.
So
it's
it's
two
parcels.
They
have
also
increased
some
of
the
dwelling
units
from
79
to
86,
and
then
there
would
be
101
underground
parking
stalls.
Q
The
inc,
the
retail
space
and
the
other
non-residential
uses
on
the
ground
floor
have
also
increased
slightly
from
12
000
to
17
000
square
feet.
Their
overall
building
size
has
increased
as
well,
and
the
height
has
increased
just
by
a
little
bit.
Q
Hey
I'll
just
keep
talking,
I
guess
until
maybe
it
decides
to
unfreeze
or
something
so
this
project
has
eliminated
variances.
Since
the
last
time
we
were
at
the
committee
of
the
hole,
okay,
there
you
go.
Q
Oh,
I
know
why
sorry,
okay,
here
we
go
so
they
used
to
have
a
number
of
variances
for
setbacks
and
also
to
increase
the
floor
area
ratio.
Now,
with
the
increased
lot
size,
they
have
been
able
to
eliminate
those
variances.
So
the
only
applications
that
are
required
for
the
planning
commission,
hearing
our
site
plan
review
and
the
pud
there's,
also
the
administrative
height
increase
and
that's
all
laid
out
in
the
staff
report
or
in
the
cow
memo.
Q
Q
Staff
is
concerned
about
the
size
of
this
drop-off
area
and
whether
it
would
be
used
for
parking
actually
and
it
does
get
counted
in
the
overall
girls
floor
area
of
the
building
now
under
the
zoning
code,
so
that
does
contribute
to
the
height
of
the
building
too
the
height
and
bulk
of
the
building
the
upper
floors.
You
can
see
they
step
back
away
from
the
frontage
along
bloomington,
but
the
massing
is
concentrated
on
the
east
side
of
the
property
which
is
closer
to
interior
three.
Q
So
we
do
have
some
questions
and
concerns
about
that.
As
you'll
see
later,
this
image
provided
by
the
applicant
shows
you
how
the
height
of
they're,
requesting
an
increase
in
height
from
56
feet
to
84
feet
and
that
can
be
approved
administrator
administratively
if
they
qualify
for
some
requested
premiums
as
well
as
meet
the
required
findings.
Q
Here
are
some
elevations,
the
north
and
south.
You
can
see
the
the
building
mass
concentrated
along
the
east
and
then
here's
the
view
from
the
alley
and
here's
the
view
from
bloomington.
You
can
see
the
c-shaped
building,
and
this
is
an
image
provided
by
the
applicant
showing
the
far
city
so
without
applying
for
any
premiums.
They'd
be
allowed
2.4
in
corridor
4.
Q
they'd
be
allowed
up
to
3.6,
with
premiums
and
they're
proposing
3.59,
and
this
kind
of
lays
out
the
amenities
that
they're
either
formally
going
to
apply
for
if
they
submit
a
land
use
application
and
also
premiums,
but
they
also
have
listed
some
other
features
of
the
building
as
well.
This
was,
I
think
this
was
included
in
your
cow
packets,
so
I'll
just
get
into
the
feedback
that
we
are
looking
for.
Q
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
are
concerned
about
the
overall
height
bulk
and
length
of
length
of
the
building,
all
of
which
have
increased
since
the
last
submission,
and
that
was
a
concern
of
the
committee
last
time
as
well.
We
are
wondering
how
the
commission
feels
about
the
question
whether
the
pud
amenities
that
they're
proposing
which
are
active
liner
uses-
that's
probably
not
being
applied
for
anymore,
so
I'll
just
skip
that
one
but
underground
parking,
and
then
the
outdoor
children's
play
area
do
those
amenities
or
do
does
anything
else
about
the
building.
Q
Would
there
be
more
interest
in
this
type
of
proposal
if
they
distributed
the
massing
a
little
bit
differently,
if
or
maybe
if
they
lowered
it
to
five
stories,
just
to
help
bring
down
the
scale
a
little
bit
and
make
it
more
in
conforms
with
the
quarter
of
four
guidance?
Q
Because
right
now,
it's
reading
more
like
a
quarter,
six
building
and
then,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
some
issues
with
the
ground
floor
at
grade
drop-off
area.
Q
And
then
this
image
shows
you
the
built
form
districts
that
apply
to
this
area
and
the
site.
So
along
bloomington
you
see
corridor
4,
mostly
and
then
to
the
east.
Is
interior
3
with
a
lot
of
low
density,
residential
uses
and
just
wanted
to
point
out.
We
haven't
received
a
travel
demand
management
plan
from
the
applicant,
yet
so
they
would
have
to
also
apply
for
a
minimum
of
four
points
and
show
compliance
before
they
even
submit
the
landings
application.
Q
We
don't
need
feedback
on
that,
but
that's
just
something
we're
noting,
and
with
that
I
will
conclude
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
All
right,
if
that
anyone
from
the
applicant
team
is
here,
you
can
go
ahead.
R
R
R
R
R
You
can
put
up
a
page
10.
Now,
that's
fine!
It's
designed
for
a
residents
of
the
neighborhood
looking
for
housing
options.
It's
not
subsidized,
although
approximately
25
for
the
unit,
25
percent
of
the
units
qualify
as
affordable
at
60.
Ami
64
of
the
units
are
three
and
four
bedrooms.
An
additional
19
are
two
bedrooms,
so
it's
taken
us
a
while
to
get
back
to
cow.
We
were
last
here
in
june,
but
we
listened
to
all
of
your
input
and
have
significantly
changed
the
design
of
the
building.
R
We've
gone
back
and
revisited
and
studied
the
2040
plan.
As
melang
said,
what
we're
showing
today
has
no
setback.
Variants
conforms
to
far
and
with
allowed
premiums
achieves
permits,
permitted
height
and
also,
as
mainly
mentioned,
we
expanded
the
site
and
purchased.
The
property
of
the
south
seems
pretty
proud
of.
Where
we're
at
and
hope
for
your
support.
R
This
has
been
a
an
enjoyable
but
very
challenging
project.
It's
widely
recognized
that
we
need
more
three
four
bedroom
units
and
the
market
doesn't
ever
deliver
them
and
the
reason
is
it's
really
really
hard.
R
There
are
100
policies
and
this
building
responds
in
a
positive
way
to
33
of
them
briefly,
eliminating
disparities,
more
residents
and
jobs.
The
first
floor,
commercial
space
has
existing
businesses
that
collectively
have
37
jobs,
most
of
the
neighborhood
residents,
affordable,
housing,
I've
addressed
and
ellie
will
further
in
talking
about
modular
construction
living
wage
jobs.
The
average
job
in
this
building
is
18
and
50
cents,
which
is
significantly
higher
than
that
neighborhood
health,
safe
and
connected
people
is
a
really
great
goal,
and
it's
very
long,
but
I'd
encourage
people
to
read
it.
R
R
R
In
responding
to
staff
requests
for
feedback,
I'd
like
to
address
a
couple
of
things
melanie
just
spoke
to
do
the
pud
amenities
justify
the
increase
in
size
in
looking
at
the
goals
of
2040
it
does
and
ellie.
If
you
will
switch
to
page
15,
please
listed,
are
not
only
required
premiums
and
amenities,
but
also
other
things
that
this
building
just
happens
to
incorporate,
not
that
we're
keeping
score,
but
it
just
addresses
so
many
of
the
goals
of
the
2040
plan.
R
In
listening
to
your
feedback
and
listening
to
it
again
on
on
tape,
the
look
of
the
building
is
significantly
changed
in
the
feel
from
whether
at
a
pedestrian
experience
or
across
the
street,
but
stepping
back
to
the
upper
stories.
We
hope
you
will
look
at
as
a
as
a
considerable
change
in
design.
R
R
O
Hi,
thank
you
todd.
Thank
you,
commissioners,
thanks
meline
for
presenting
our
project
with
everything
that
todd
was
mentioning
on
their
side
and
and
our
really
mutual
attempt
to
to
really
listen
to
what
was
said
in
the
first
version
and
the
first
time
that
we
came
in
front
of
cow.
O
O
The
beauty
points
that
we're
gonna
give
and
the
premiums
that
we're
gonna
comply
with,
but
I
really
wanna
show
the
commissioners
that
we
really
did
everything
that
we
can
to
allow
this
building
to
happen,
because
it
does,
it
does
need
to
make
sense
from
all
aspects
from
the
development
side,
from
the
neighborhood
side,
from
the
city
side
from
the
built
forum
side
and
at
the
same
time,
we
wanted
to
really
address
your
comments
so
with
master
properties
purchasing
the
other,
the
the
site
to
the
south.
O
O
Our
footprint
is
85
now
versus
91
before
when
it
comes
to
the
far
variants
eliminated
when
it
comes
to
the
setbacks
variants
eliminated,
but
not
only
that
I'll
try
to
zoom
in
here
to
show
that
we
are
now
well
in
the
the
setbacks
and
weigh
more
than
what
we
are
required
by
the
code
measuring
from
the
center
line
of
of
the
alley
and
then
from
the
property
line.
O
O
We
pushed
and
pulled
because
djr
has
been
working
with
rise
modular
and
we
are
becoming
some
kind
of
expert
on
the
modular
we
are.
We
know
that
we
can
push
and
pull
these
mods
just
to
create.
You
know
a
little
bit
of
more
back
and
forth
on
the
east
facade
and
one
more
point
that
I
want
to
make
is
that
that
east
east
facing
facade,
even
though
the
site
got
longer
and
the
building
got
longer
on
the
lower
portion
of
it.
O
That
being
said,
we
are,
and
obviously
what
we're
trying
to
show
here
is
that
we're
42
feet
away
from
property
line
from
the
west
facing
facade
and
just
to
conclude
that
point,
here's
the
property
line,
our
four-story
portion
of
the
buildings.
We
could
go
11
feet.
We
are
over
15
feet
the
six
story.
We
should
be
15
feet.
We
are
more
than
40
feet
away,
so
we
really
really
really
tried
to
listen
to
what
you
guys
were
asking
about
the
bulk
of
the
building
and
the
size
of
the
building.
O
But
we
need
to
make
it
happen,
we
need
we
need
to
make
the
numbers
come
in
and
and
so
with
everything
that
we
were
listening
to
what
kyle
was
asking
us
to
do.
I
I
think
that
if
I
turn
to
this
image
to
show
how
we
are
trying
to
fit
into
the
neighborhood
as
much
as
we
can
so
right
now
on
the
north-facing
facade,
we
are
more
of
a
four-story
look
with
a
setback
with
a
pullback
of
the
building
on
on
the
south
facing
facade.
O
We
are
again
23
feet
away
from
the
south
facing
from
the
south
property
line.
We
we
stepped
back
quite
a
bit
so
just
to
to
minimize
that
we
we
heard
some
of
the
things
that
you
guys
were
mentioning
that
that
you
liked
in
the
first
version
and
that's
the
design
that
we
proposed
with
the
material
that
we
proposed,
you
guys
were
asking
to
see
a
little
bit
more
greenery
here.
We
said
it's
it's
a
little
bit
early,
but
we
can.
O
We
can
absolutely
you
know,
dress
up
our
our
renderings
for
now,
the
mater,
the
use
of
the
materials
and
the
overall
design.
O
That's
a
little
bit
challenging
when
we
when
we
start
doing
the
step
backs,
but
we
are
now
at
the
point
that
we
are
we're
pretty
confident
and
pretty
proud
that
we
are
bringing
this
product
to
a
very,
very
needing
neighborhood
and
a
product
that
is
very,
very
unique
to
the
city.
O
I
will
reiterate
what
I
was
mentioning
in
the
first
round
of
cow.
This
is
not
150
180
micro
units.
This
is
a
80
85
86
units
for
families,
three
bedrooms,
four
bedrooms,
which
is
enormously
and
greatly
needed,
especially
for
that
for
that
community.
O
So
I
think
that
the
overall
concern
of
staff
for
that
building
being
too
big
for
for
its
context,
I
think
that
we
have
tried
and
pulled
every
rabbit
that
we
could
have
had
in
the
hat
and
massive
properties
went
and
allowed
this
to
happen.
O
By
purchasing
that
other
site,
we
kept
the
the
c
shape
and
really
back
back
it
up,
and
the
reason
that
is
it's
almost
on
on
the
east
facade
is
because
we
want
to
break
the
building
and
make
it
look
as
much
as
possible
as
if
it's
not
one
big
mass
and
in
the
package,
we
try
to
show
that
there
is
a
very,
very
nice
rendering
from
the
street
view
that,
as
you
are
from
eye
level,
I
mean
that
as
you
walk
in
industry,
this
building
looks
really
way
less
bulky
and
intimidating.
O
I'm
trying
to
use
the
phrase
that
some
of
you
used
before
and
way
way
more
fit
into
the
neighborhood,
and
the
one
last
slide
that
I
want
to
point
out
is
the
shadow
study
that
is
in
your
package
and
shows
that
really
minimal
impact
to
the
houses
on
on
the
east
side
of
that
block,
and
with
that
I
am
going
to
thank
you
and
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
H
I
was
okay
with
the
pre-previous
iteration
of
the
project,
and
you
know
I
I
think
the
changes
that
have
been
made
are
fine,
responding
to
the
feedback
requests
that
staff
have
made
so
the
first
one
for
1a.
H
So
I
think
that
you
know
that
it
makes
sense
to
provide
for
the
larger
lot
size
area,
so
they
can
do
those
things
is
the
height
increase,
request
from
46
stories
or
reasonable
means
for
further
achieving
comprehensive
playing
goals.
I
think
it
clearly
does
you
know
this
provides
family
oriented
housing
immediately
above
a
daycare.
H
I
think
that
is
one
of
the
the
key
things
that
we
were
pushing
for
with
the
2040
plan
and
that
you
know
that's
the
type
of
thing
that
these
premiums
are
designed
to
accomplish.
So
I
feel
it
it
does
that
as
far
as
the
the
distribution
of
the
massing,
I
don't
have
a
particular
opinion
about
it.
Don't
have
much
of
opinion
on
the
drop-off.
I
would
defer
to
staff
about
that
yeah
for
the
for
the
administrative
height
findings.
G
Thank
you,
commissioner.
I
I'll
echo
commissioner
myers
comments.
I
think
for
me.
What's
really
helpful
is
page
14
of
the
submittal.
I
think
the
ability
to
articulate
compliance
and
then
showing
how
manipulating
that
mass
and
compliance
still
achieves
far
in
a
creative
way,
and
I
think
it's
a
really
unique
solution
in
terms
of
providing
a
protective
play
area
by
putting
it
up.
G
On
the
second
floor,
which
you
know
will
be
interesting
to
see
how
we
solve
the
kids
getting
up
and
down,
but
I'm
sure
we
can
do
that
in
a
safe
way,
but
it's
it's
got
great
eyes
on
it
overlooks
the
street
it's.
So
it's
a
it's
a
really,
I
think,
wonderful
way
to
really
cremate
a
a
community
hub
there.
G
So
I
do
commend
the
developer
and
the
team
for
doing
that,
and
I
think
this
is
just
interesting
in
terms
of
the
discussion
we
just
had
on
the
previous
project,
which
is
these
issues
of
larger
buildings
and
the
sort
of
c
orientation
right.
The
one
previous
talked
about
opening
up
the
courtyard
to
the
neighborhood,
and
this
one
takes
a
different
position
for
for
good
reason.
G
So
I
think
we,
you
know
those
alley
conditions,
whether
it's
you
know
a
vertical
wall
with
subtle
setbacks
or
a
hole
or
a
canyon
like
the
previous
project
had
are
things
that
we
you
know
we
wrestle
with
when
we're
talking
about
zones
of
the
city
that
are
but
adjacent
zones
that
are
much
smaller
structures.
So
for
me,
I
think
the
the
trade-off
of
that.
What
I
I
think
will
be
a
wonderful
upper
level
active
space,
a
streetscape
that
provides
lots
of
options
and
the
sort
of
knuckle
articulation.
The
building.
G
Totally
justifies
the
the
height
issues.
I
would
comment,
though,
too,
on
some
of
these
views
that
I,
I
think,
you're
you're,
maybe
not
even
kind
of
really
are
that,
because
I
don't
think
that's
an
eye
view
shot.
That
appears
to
me
to
be
elevated
up
a
little
bit,
and
so
I
think,
if
you're
actually
down
in
the
street,
especially
at
the
corners
and
knuckles,
that
upper
two
floors
are
going
to
recess
even
a
bit
more
because
they're
much
more
present,
because
I
think
you're
up
almost.
G
N
Hi,
yes,
I
remember
this
proposal
for
when
we
saw
it
last
time
you
came
through
committee
of
the
whole,
and
I
do
really
like
this
building,
I
think,
having
the
complete
you
know,
active
uses
on
the
ground
floor
will
help
make
that
you
know,
feel
active
and
will
be
constantly.
You
know
something
on
that
ground
for
it's
not
just
blank
wall
throughout
it,
so
I
don't
really
have
as
much
of
a
problem
with
that,
and
I
also
want
to
commend
you
for
the
active
uses
on
the
second
floor
with
that
courtyard.
N
That's
not
something
I've
seen
besides
amenity
decks
and,
besides
you
know
kind
of
just
for
the
residents
actually
having
that
be
a
useful
space
for
the
daycare
and
bringing
people
into
the
building.
I
think
that's
a
very
innovative
use
for
this,
and
so
I
just
want
to
compliment
you
guys
for
doing
something
different
with
this,
and
I
like
the
color
changes
in
this
project
as
well.
I
know
we
talked
about
that
at
the
last
meeting,
so
I
appreciate
you
taking
that
feedback
into
consideration.
S
You,
commissioner,
olson,
for
me
a
little
bit
more
of
a
minority
point
of
view
on
this.
I
do
appreciate
the
changes.
I
remember
having
significant
concerns
about
the
the
placement
of
the
play
area
and
a
commingled
use
with
the
residents
and
that
appears
to
have
been
been
resolved.
I
share
staff's
concerns
about
that
drop-off
space.
S
I
definitely
am
a
fan
of
drop-off
spaces.
I
tend
to
advocate
for
them,
particularly
when
we
anticipate
these
kind
of
buildings
going
in.
I'm
not
sure
that
giant
space
is
needed
for
that,
and
you
know
there's
no
guarantee
that
these
things
stay
in
adult
daycare
or
daycare
forever,
and
you
know
we
I
think.
Ideally
it
would
be
built
with
a
more
flexible
or
useful
use
of
some
of
that
space,
because
I
I
don't
know
that
that
that
whole
space
would
be
needed
if
those
building
or
those
uses
stay
in
the
building.
S
I
do
have
a
concern
about
size.
I
mean
on
the
picture
that
we
can
see
there
on
the
screen.
If
you
look
way
over
to
the
left,
you
see
a
little
tiny
house
over
there
and
I'm
not
sure
that
we
have
the
perspectives
that
I
would
like
to
see
in
order
to
justify
the
overage
in
proportion
of
the
size
for
the
things
that
are
required
for
the
pud
that
almost
forty
thousand
feet
as
meling
put
out
there.
I
still
happen
to
think
it's
too
big
that
may
for
the
space.
S
I
mean
you
look
at
that
wow
and
for
me
you
know
again
it.
It
appears
to
be
much
more
corridor,
six
development
in
a
corridor
four
space,
next
right
on
top
of
interior
three
and
everything
has
to
abut
something.
You
know
I
I
get
that,
but
this
to
me
doesn't
feel
transitional
from
interior
three
at
all
this
is
you
know
I
don't?
I
don't
have
any
problem
with
the
way
it
looks
or
what
it's
designed
to
do,
but
I
still
have
many
of
the
concerns
that
I
had
that.
S
B
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Sweezie.
I'm
not
seeing
any
more
comments,
so
I
hope
that
you've
received
the
feedback
that
you
need
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
B
All
right,
we
are
moving
on
to
item
number
12.
3112
and
a
half
west
28th
street
and
staff
is
mailing
smith,
hi.
Q
Hi
again,
okay,
so
this
project,
as
commissioner
olson
mentioned,
is
31
one
two
and
a
half
west
28th
street,
and
this
is
the
exact.
Oh
wait.
I
didn't
scream,
I'm
sorry
guys,
I'm
having
issues
tonight
and
share
my
screen
here.
We
go
there,
you
go
so
it
is
just
south
east
of
cedar
lake
here
and
it
does
not
have
street
frontage.
Q
So
28th
street
is
the
the
nearest
public
street,
but
it's
about
you
know
it's
one
parcel
in
and
it's
along
the
public
alley
and
then
the
kennel
worth
trail
runs
along
the
west
side.
It's
an
irregularly
shaped
parcel,
as
you
can
see
it's
a
triangle
as
a
triangle
and
it
is
located
in
the
r5
zoning
district
with
interior
one
as
the
belt
form
district
and
guidance.
Q
Q
The
applicant,
oh
and
sorry,
here's
some
more
images.
This
is
the
view
from
28th
street.
You
can
see
the
industrial
building
in
the
front
and
right
now
on
the
site,
there's
an
industrial
storage
building
and
here's
a
view
from
kenilworth
trails
raised
up
slightly
and
then
so.
This
would
be
the
the
north.
On
this
side,
the
applicant
is
proposing
nine
dwelling
units
in
a
two-story
building.
Q
Q
There
would
be
one
kind
of
sub-level
garden
level
unit
on
the
south
side
and
then
three
building
sections
for
the
rest
of
the
units.
Q
So
this
is
one
and
two
stories
here
are
some
section
drawings
provided
by
the
applicant.
So
since
the
publication
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
memo
staff
asked
the
applicant
to
provide
additional
section
drawings
to
show
where
the
garden
level
unit
is
in
terms
of
the
grade,
and
so
you
can
see
that
image
right
here.
Q
So
the
feedback
that
we're
requesting
today
is
so
first
of
all,
the
applicant
is
requiring
a
number
of
variances.
First,
to
develop
a
lot
without
street
frontage.
I
just
want
to
note
that
the
fire
department
has
it
engaged
from
the
beginning
of
our
talks
with
the
applicant
and
it
would
continue
to
receive
service.
So
they
don't
see
an
issue
with
fire
department
access.
Q
There
is
also
an
application
to
reduce
the
maneuvering
area
along
the
alley
for
one
of
from
for
some
of
the
parking
spaces,
but
the
one
that
we
have
the
concern
about
is
to
increase
the
floor
area
ratio
from
0.5
to
0.7
because
of
this
unusual
mix
of
policies,
so
9
units
is
allowed
by
right
under
the
r5
does
r5
based
zoning.
Q
We
are
wondering
how
the
commission
feels
about
increasing
the
floor
area
ratio,
given
that
it
has
interior
one
as
the
future
land
use
and
in
the
comp
plan,
the
maximum
that
is
suggested
under
interior.
Q
One
is
three
units,
so
we're
wondering
you
know,
even
though
the
nine
unit
building
is
allowed
by
right
is
an
increase
in
bulk
going
to
be
approvable,
and
then
we
have
concerns
that
the
apple
camp
could
probably
address
a
different
way
that
the
semi
basement
would
not
comply
with
some
of
the
new
regulations
related
to
bicycle
storage
that
you
can't
have
all
of
it
like
located
in
a
basement.
There
has
to
be
more
at
grade
access.
Q
Hopefully
this
is
something
the
applicant
could
just
fix
with
future
iterations,
maybe
providing
an
outdoor
bike
area.
Bike
storage
shed,
or
something
like
that,
so
I
think
the
main
issue
that
we
wanted
to
get
feedback
on
tonight
is
just
the
floor
area
ratio.
Obviously
this
is
a
very
unusual
site.
It
has
different
constraints
than
a
normal
site,
so
I
think
I'll
end
there.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Marwah
has
a
question.
N
In
it
I
just
said
comment:
I
don't
think
the
bike
parking
issue
I
feel
like
the
developer
is
going
to
make
sure
that
it's
like
kind
of
a
trail,
so
it
would
kind
of
be
a
no-brainer
that
they
would
make
sure
there's
a
secure
space
for
bikes
once
the
final
finished
products
together.
I
don't
see
us
needing
to
kind
of
exactly
say
where
that
needs
to
trail.
I'm
sure
they
will
include
it
or
they'd
be
silly
not
to,
and
I
also
just
love
this
project.
N
I
think
this
is
a
super
cool
use
on
what
were
you
know
some
crappy
buildings
ahead
of
time,
so
I
just
want
to
you
know
more
of
this
more
of
this
kind
of
interest
in
when
we're
seeing
these
kind
of
new
developments
come
up.
That
are
a
little
denser.
I
think
these
are
really
really
cool
use
of
that
and
should
be
an
example
that
we
show
around.
So
those
are
my
comments,
I'm
sorry,
I
do
have
to
run.
I
have
a
very
angry
at
home.
So
all
right,
thank
you,
but
thank
you.
B
B
Ford
bexley
sweetie
sweetie
still
here:
okay,
we're
we're
good.
We
only
need
three.
B
Oh
now
I
can
okay.
Is
there
someone
from
the
applicant
team
who
would
like
to
present
about
this
project.
C
Yes,
umberto
caballero.
Well,
thank
you,
commissioners
for
having
us
here.
Our
intention
is,
to
you
know,
provide
a
creative
solution
for
a
difficult
site.
At
the
same
time,
we
we
wanted
to
somehow
relate
this
building
to
the
train
tracks
with
rhythm
and
character,
and
since
it
was
a
very
difficult
side,
we
also
consider
the
context,
keeping
proportion,
scale
and
rhythm.
So
we
believe
that
is
very
creative.
B
All
right,
commissioners,
any
questions
about
commissioner
meyer.
H
So
I
agree-
excuse
me
with
commissioner
marwa
that
this
is
a
really
cool
building.
You
don't
see
many
like
this
and
I
think
it
adds
some
cool
diversity.
H
So
I'm
I'm
pleased
with
the
design
as
to
the
far
question
which
staff
says
is
the
main
one
that
they
would
like
addressed
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
like
the
original
version
of
the
built
form
that
the
planning
commission
voted
for
would
have
allowed
this
by
right,
I
think,
but
then
the
the
council
subsequently
reduced
the
far
a
little
bit,
but
you
know
I
I
think
it's
a
modest
increase
and
I
think
it's
fine-
and
I
think
it's
justified
in
this
case
by
the
unique
zoning
situation
that
it's
in
so
I
would
support
that.
G
Yeah,
I
think,
to
kind
of
pile
on
here
a
little
bit.
I
think
you
know
unusual
and
extraordinary
sites,
sort
of
demand,
unusual
and
extraordinary
solutions.
I
I
think
in
this
case
the
articulation
of
you
know.
The
fdr
increase
is
really
based
on
a
module,
that's
grounded
in
the
kind
of
fabric
of
the
neighborhood,
and
so
I
think,
a
really
creative
way
to
get
something
that
has
present
that
sort
of
deserves
this
site
in
a
way
is
is,
is
really
wonderful.
G
We
should
support
sort
of
envision
all
these
extraordinary,
weird
sites
around
the
city.
If
they
had
this
sort
of
attention
and
care,
it
just
makes
all
our
neighborhoods
better.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
effort,
the
thought-
and
I
think
for
me,
those
exceptions
and
concerns,
while
there
are
really
not
warranted.
I
think
this
really
terrific
project.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
I
will
just
very
briefly
add
my
agreement
with
everything
said
so
far.
This
is
a
really
tough
site
and
a
really
interesting
solution
and
when
you're
finished
here
there
are
many
more
sites
without
minneapolis
you
can
go
work
on,
but
bravo
good
job.
B
B
So
thank
you
to
the
applicant
for
presenting.
I
hope
we
answered
your
questions.
Q
B
You
all
right,
we've
got
one
more
item
and
it's
item
number
13
housekeeping
zoning
code
text,
amendment
and
staff
is
jason
and
janelle.
U
Thank
you,
commissioners,
janelle
and
I
are
working
on
a
zoning
go
text,
amendment
that
we
informally
refer
to
as
the
housekeeping
amendment.
It
will
correct
zoning
code
citations
and
inconsistencies,
clarify
vague
or
confusing
provisions
throughout
the
ordinance,
a
variety
of
correction
of
errors,
essentially
or
or
fixing
what
we
understand
to
be
the
intent
in
some
cases.
U
I
don't
anticipate
that
that
commissioners
will
have
a
lot
of
feedback,
and
I
don't
have
slides
for
you
tonight,
but,
as
is
customary,
we
at
least
wanted
to
give
you
a
heads
up
to
let
you
know
that
this
amendment
is
coming
to
you
to
one
of
your
public
hearings
soon
much.
The
amendment
simply
does
fix
typographical
errors
and
things
that
are
incorrect.
Cross-References.
U
There
are
some
sections
where
the
change
is
literally
a
word
like
changing
a
plural
word
to
a
singular
word
things
like
that,
so
those
are
the
types
of
things
that
we're
trying
to
identify
and
correct
throughout
the
ordinance.
Some
have
been
on
our
radar
for
quite
a
while,
but
just
haven't
really
necessitated
an
urgent
correction.
U
So
we
must
have
done
a
fairly
good
job
at
that
point,
but
it's
time
again
to
to
fix
some
of
these
things,
I
guess
a
bit
of
a
rule
of
thumb
that
we're
trying
to
stick
to
is
that
we
don't
want
to
make
changes
that
actually
alter
the
way
we
regulate
something
as
part
of
this
that
and
should
be
a
separate,
more
substantive
discussion.
U
There
might
be
a
few
places
where
we
enter
a
little
bit
of
gray
area
where
we're
fixing
something
that
we
understand
to
be
consistent
with
the
intent
of
the
ordinance.
If
you
look
at
the
bullet
points
that
are
on
here
at
the
very
bottom
of
page
one
and
much
of
page,
two,
we've
included
very
brief
descriptions
of
some
things
that
are
more
than
just
typographical
errors
and,
in
our
very
brief
description,
some
of
those
might
seem
like
they
sound
kind
of
substantive.
U
But
I
I
think
that's
just
a
reflection
of
our
our
perhaps
two
brief
descriptions.
Just
one
example:
the
there's
a
bullet
point
that
says
add
a
fourth
height
increase
finding
to
the
shoreland
overlay
district.
Well,
that
sounds
like
a
significant
change
right,
but
when
the
planning
commission
amended
the
built
form
ordinance,
it
added
an
additional
finding
to
the
height
increase
analysis,
which
is
fine
but
and
that
dealt
with
the
consistency
of
materials
on
all
sides
when
considering
a
height
increase.
U
But
it
didn't
occur
to
us
at
the
time
that
the
height
increases
findings
are
also
listed
in
the
shoreland
overlay
district
in
a
different
location.
So
again,
we're
we're
we're
the
the
shoreland
overlay
district
at
the
moment
now
has
one
less
finding
than
height
increase
analyses
that
take
place
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
U
Pretty
sure
that
wasn't
the
commission's
intent,
so
that's
an
example
of
something
that's
a
little
bit
more
substantive,
but
we
think
falls
within
the
realm
of
of
housekeeping
we're
hoping
to
bring
this
to
a
public
hearing
on
in
about
a
month
on
october
18th,
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
commissioners.
U
B
Okay,
are
there
any
staff
updates
for
this
evening.
B
With
that,
we
have
completed
all
the
items
on
our
agenda
for
this
meeting.
Unless
someone
has
any
objection,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Our
next
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
will
be
thursday
october
7th
2021,
and
our
next
planning
commission
meeting
will
be
monday
october.
4Th
have
a
good
evening.
G
Hey
alyssa,
a
quick
question
kim
had
mentioned
at
our
meeting
on
monday
this
other
committee
that
was
reviewing
the
materials
selection
and
had
sort
of
a
different.
What
was
the
name
of
that?
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
catch
the.
E
Yes,
it
was
the
biz
committee
of
the
city
council
it
so
the
formation
of
hospital
committees
has
changed
under
covet
and
the
remote
meeting
structure,
previously
all
land
use
applications
or
other
items
that
came
before
the
commission
would
go
to
the
zoning
in
planning
in
order
to
consolidate
council
committees
during
remote
meetings.
It
is
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee.
I
don't
bihc,
so
that
is
now
the
council
committee
chaired
by
council
members
that
all
of
our
items
get
forwarded
to
before
going
to
full
council.
E
I
see
you
ken
needed
to
correct
me,
but
I
don't
hear
any
corrections.
So
it
is
six
council
members
that
committee
meets
on
tuesdays
at
1
30
every
other
tuesday
typically,
and
you
can
find
that
calendar
in
the
city's
limb
system.
G
And
there
and
so
items
and
things
are
brought
to
it,
just
as
they
are
to
us,
for
example,
or.
E
Okay,
yes,
so
legislative
items
that
require
a
council
decision
like
rezonings,
right-of-way
vacations,
those
are
only
ones.
It's
been
a
there's.
A
lot
of
kids
going
outside
those
are
automatically
forwarded
to
council
and
then
any
appeals
that
come
out
of
this
commission
also
go
to
council
for
a
second
public
hearing
on
the
appeal.
E
Otherwise,
all
of
the
quasi-judicial
applications
that
come
before
this
committee,
the
decision
is
final,
at
planning
commission
upon
expiration
of
the
10-day
appeal
period.
If
those
applications
are
appealed,
so
those
are
conditional
use
permits,
variances,
site
plan,
review,
non-conforming
use
applications,
basically
anything
other
than
an
vacation,
a
street
renaming
or
rezoning.
E
Those
would
be
final
at
the
planning
commission
unless
they're
appealed
and
then
appeals
go
forward
to
council,
starting
at
the
biz
committee
and
then
going
to
the
full
city
council.
So
I
try
to
give
updates
when
we
get
appeals.
E
I'm
probably
not
entirely
consistent
about
that,
but
I
do
try
to
keep
you
informed
about
when
those
appeals
are
happening
and
what
the
outcome
is
at
city.
Council,
perfect.
T
Kimberly,
I
just
want
to
make
a
quick
comment.
Could
somebody
from
it
please
get
in
touch
with
me,
I'm
having
some
issues
with
my
laptop
and
I
have
been
able
to
access
the
cal
meetings
on
my
phone
and
for
whatever
reason
I
don't
know
why,
unless
the
format
has
changed,
and
I
can
no
longer
do
that,
I
wasn't
able
to,
and
it's
I'm
just
really
frustrated.
