without
any
discussion
by
the
commission
and
we
will
adopt
those
items
adhering
to
the
staff
recommendation
that
were
listed
on
that
item
under
recommended
motion
and
any

that
were
listed
there.
If
you
do
agree
with
the
staff
recommendation,
you
don't
need

passes.
So
if
you
were
here
for
agenda
items
number
four,
five,

your
application
has
been
approved.
We
are
now
going
to
move
on
to
the

items
again.
These
are
the
ones
that
the
commission
will
hear
we'll
take
public

then
we
will
make
a
decision
and
I,
after
the
public
testimony
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
then,
after
that,
no
additional
public
testimony
will
be
taken
with
that.
C
N
Good
afternoon
planning
commissioners
item
number
eight
is
for
the
property
located
at
3601
nikola
avenue.
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
construct
a
new
five-story
mixed-use
building
with
52
dwelling
units
and
a
first
floor,
commercial
space
about
2
700
square
feet
in
area
the
property
zone,
c2,
neighborhood
corridor,
commercial
district.
The
property
was
rezoned
as
part
of
a
previous
application
back
in
2002.
N
N
The
subject.
Property
is
located
at
the
southeast
corner
of
nicolette
and
36
treaties.
It
was
originally
constructed
as
a
single
family
dwelling
that
was
demolished
in
1901
or
I'm
sorry.
It
was
moved
and
then
it
was
a
filling
station
until
1921
and
then
a
new
filling
station
was
constructed
there
in
54.
N
N
Nicolette
avenue
is
a
goods
and
services
corridor
with
a
wide
variety
of
uses,
including
commercial
storefronts,
auto
oriented
repair
and
retail
and
low
to
high
density
residential
uses.
The
use
is
immediately
to
the
east
along
first
avenue.
South
are
a
combination
of
low
to
medium
residential
density.
N
As
mentioned,
the
applicant
is
proposing
a
new
five-story
mixed-use,
building
with
commercial
on
the
first
floor
and
parking
enclosed
on
the
first
floor
as
well.
Next
slide,
please,
the
applicant
is
proposing
52
dwelling
units
on
floors
two
through
five
and
the
unit
mix
is
a
combination
of
studios,
alcoves
and
two
bedrooms.
N
The
exterior
would
be
brick
in
masonry
at
the
base
and
fiber
and
metal
cement
panels.
On
the
upper
floor,
the
commercial
entrance
would
be
along
nicolette
avenue
and
the
residential
entrance
would
be
along
east
36th
street
next
slide.
Please
here
is
the
site
plan
the
architectural
site
plan
for
the
proposed
project.
N
Nicolette
avenue
has
high
frequency
transit,
so
the
parking
required
for
52
spaces
would
be
half
and
then
three
additional
spaces
or
26
for
the
residential
and
then
additional
three
part
parking
spaces
are
required
for
the
retail,
resulting
in
a
total
parking
requirement
for
the
proposed
project
at
29
spaces.
The
applicant
is
proposing
a
total
of
18
spaces.
N
N
N
There
have
been
several
public
comments
received
regarding
the
application.
Those
have
been
included
in
public
record
and
available
to
the
city
planning
commission.
For
today's
meeting
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
the
requested
variants
from
29
spaces
to
18
spaces,
based
on
the
following
findings.
N
The
built
form
guidance
of
the
site
is
corridor,
six,
which
would
allow
up
to
six
stories
where
the
applicant
is
proposing
a
five-story
building
the
applicant
is
able
to
add
18
parking
spaces
with
a
two-way
drive.
Aisle
that's
required
in
doing
some
calculations
with
adding
parking
that
would
be
sufficient
for
the
site.
Additional
variances
would
likely
be
required
to
either
increase
the
maximum
percentage
of
compact
spaces
or
reducing
the
drive
aisle
widths
based
on
100
foot
wide
lot,
which
this
this
subject
property
is
further.
N
N
So,
as
previously
mentioned,
the
site
is
well
served
by
transit.
In
addition
to
the
18,
the
23
is
an
east-west
route.
That's
two
blocks
south
of
the
the
site,
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
that
guides
the
city
towards
no
minimum
off
straight
parking.
This
this
project
would
be
providing
not
quite
a
half
space
per
dwelling
unit,
but
they
are
going
to
be
providing
at
least
one
long-term
parking
space
per
dwelling
unit
and
then
also
to
comply
with
the
proposed
tdm
requirements.
N
Lastly,
staff
finds
that
the
18
proposed
parking
spaces
for
the
mixed
use
building
is
sufficient,
with
the
condition
of
those
additional
bicycle
parking
spaces
and
implementing
the
real-time
transit
information
in
a
public
space
near
the
entrance,
and
those
are
conditions
that
have
also
been
placed
on
the
recommendation
for
the
variants
for
site
plan
review.
There
are
only
three
areas
where
the
applicant
is
seeking
alternative
compliance
next
page,
please
our
next
slide.
Please
there
are
blank
walls
located
adjacent
to
the
mailroom,
I'm
sorry
next
slide
again,
they
are
27.4
feet.
N
The
residential
windows
facing
east
36th
street
are
also
deficient
from
what
is
required.
However,
they
on
the
east
36th
street
side.
You'll
see
the
commercial
windows
are
meeting
92
percent
of
the
required
area,
which
will
allow
for
visibility
and
ice
on
the
street
and
there's
certainly
windows
in
the
residential
areas
accessed
off
of
36th
street.
So
again,
staff
is
recommending
alternate
compliance
and
next
slide.
Please,
the
proposed
landscape
area
is
332
square
feet
which
is
51
of
the
site
not
occupied
by
a
building.
N
So
the
the
zoning
code
requires
one
canopy
tree
for
every
500
square,
feet
of
required
landscaping
or
fraction
thereof.
So
there's
in
fact,
you
know
just
over
100
square
feet
of
required
landscaping,
so
providing
a
canopy
tree
on
the
site.
Doesn't
there's
not
sufficient
area
to
do
so.
The
applicant
is
providing
screening
around
the
the
transformer
and
then
there'll
be
some
landscaping
along
east
36th
street,
but
otherwise
would
comply
with
the
with
the
percentage
of
landscaped
area
and
shrubs.
N
J
Thank
you.
I
I
have
several
I'm
familiar
with
this
property,
it's
it's
near
where
I
used
to
live,
and
this
is
long,
but
about
20
years
been
a
polluted
site
that
they've
been
cleaning
up,
and
so
this
is
great.
I
am,
however,
I'm
confused.
As
to
the
last
comment,
you
said
where
there
was
going
to
be
alternate
compliance
for
the
landscaping
and-
and
I
don't
where
is
what
is
that.
J
J
N
J
J
J
I
guess
it's
hard
to
figure
out
any
solution
besides
that,
but
I
think
you're
gonna
end
up
with
problems.
That's
a
very
busy
lane
and
I
think
you
might
have
some
problems
there,
but
anyway,
mostly,
I
would
be
interested
to
hear
from
commissioner
baxley
and
others
what
what
the,
what
their
view
of
the
quality
of
the
building
materials
are.
C
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
commissioner
ford.
They
they
have
listed
brick,
metal,
siding,
fiber,
cement,
a
wood,
look
metal,
panel,
glass
and
metal.
Obviously
I
think
the
brick
should
be
fine.
I
think
it's
it's
legit
brick.
I
don't
think
it's
kind
of
stick
on
so
that
that
should
be
durable,
and
I
I
I
certainly
echo
the
expanse
of
you
know
sort
of
blank
wall
there
I
think,
depending
on
the
type
of
brick
the
texture
could
be
nice.
O
You
know
sometimes
having
a
surface
without
openings
sort
of
helps
the
composition.
I
I
don't
know
if
that's
necessarily
the
case
here,
but
I
somehow
the
blank
wall
doesn't
bother
me
as
much
in
the
overall
composition.
You
know
the
metal
siding
it
depends
on
what
it
is.
You
know
there
are
all
kinds
of
gauges
of
that,
and-
and
you
know
the
thinner
you
get
the
more
oil
canned
it
tends
to
be
and
look
thinner
depends
on
how
it's
hinged
and
attached
together.
O
So
it
might
be
good
to
understand
that
a
little
better
and
the
you
know
fiber
cement
panels.
You
know
the
james
hardy
company
kind
of
arrived
with
those
many
many
years
ago
was
used
extensively
because
it's
a
common,
it's
a
cementitious
wood
product
usually
holds
up
pretty
well
actually,
but
it's
not.
I
wouldn't
rank
it
as
high
necessarily
as
as
brick,
but
it's
a
it's
a
fairly
durable
material.
It
has
a
cementitious
base
to
it.
O
So
I
guess
my
what
always
catches
me
on
these
is
the
the
quality
of
the
metal
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
metal
on
these
projects.
Typically,
they
aren't
what
we
call
a
heavy
gauge
route
and
return
sort
of
composite
panel,
they're,
just
thin
metal,
and
so
they
tend
to
look
thin,
and
so
I
think
how
you
detail
those
and
how
they're
applied
are,
are
really
the
difference
between
the
sort
of
perception,
the
quality
and
the
perception
of
sort
of
thin
patch
up
fix-up.
J
O
O
Yeah,
I
I
chemistry
again,
I
I
think
it's
the
devil
is
in
the
details.
You
know
I
I
think
one
can
create
a
a
beautiful
building
out
of
fairly
simple
materials.
It
isn't
necessarily
the
material
itself
that
determines
quality.
It's
how
you
put
it
together,
and
I
hear
you
I
think
you
know
in
many
ways
this
is
a
a
pattern
and
a
palette
of
materials
that
we
see
a
lot
on
new
proposals
and
many
of
them
lack
the
detail
that
sort
of
take
it
to
the
next
level
for
sure.
P
Hi
my
comments,
echo
my
my
fellow
commissioners
supported
and
baxley
as
well,
about
just
kind
of
the
look
of
this
that
north
side
wall
I'm
curious
from
the
staff
why
they
feel
that
there
should
be
an
alternative
compliance
as
they
stated
for
the
long
blank
wall.
So
shannon,
if
you
don't
mind
speaking
to
that
a
little
bit
it
also
it
just.
It
feels
so
uneven
like
for
such
a
major
corridor
in
such
two
main
streets.
P
N
Visual
office
piece,
so
in
order
to
comply
with
that
provision,
the
length
of
the
wall
cannot
exceed
25
feet,
so
the
blank
wall,
as
you
can
see
on
the
site
plan,
that's
shown
right
now,
is
within
the
utility
room.
It
says
water
they're,
in
kind
of
like
the
north
east
corner
of
the
structure,
so
to
provide
to
break
up
that
building
wall
it
would
either
have
to
be.
N
You
know,
recess
of,
I
believe
it's
at
least
six
inches
or
four
inches,
or
I
would
have
to
have
a
window
or
would
have
to
have
a
change
of
material
and
because
the
deficiency
was
less
than
five
feet
and
essentially
it
would
be
a
window
into
a
utility
room.
Staff
did
not
think
that
that
was
necessary,
but
in
in
combination
with
the
north
facade,
if
we
could
go,
let's
see,
I
think
it's
one
more
next
slide.
Please.
N
Thank
you
very
much,
so
the
top
of
the
this
sheet
is
the
north
elevation.
As
you
can
see,
there
are
more
than
sufficient
windows
in
the
commercial
use,
so
the
commercial
use
is
actually
meeting
92
percent
of
their
other
window
requirement
facing
the
north
facade.
So
it's
not
an
entirely
blank
facade.
It's
only
blank
for
that
bike,
room
for
about
five
feet.
So
if
we
didn't
grant
alternative
compliance,
then
the
applicant
would
either
have
to
do
a
different
material,
a
window,
an
architectural
recess
or
projection.
So
those
are
the
options.
P
I
guess
I
guess
from
my
side
my
question
is
rather
than
you
know,
having
to
change
materials
fully
or
at
a
window
in
a
bike
room
which
I
understand
doesn't
make
much
sense.
Why
is
there
not
a
push
to
do
something
more
creative
on
that
side?
That's
a
huge!
You
know
side
that
people
will
be
walking
through
it's
a
really
busy
corridor,
just
something
to
break
it
up.
P
Besides
just
windows,
I
mean
there's
so
many
creative
elements
that
you
could
be
adding
to
buildings
that
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
add
a
lot
of
cost
or
mean
that
they
have
to
you
know,
break
up
the
whole
facade.
I
just
feel
like
we
should
push
back
to
the
applicant
that
they
should
also
be
creating
something
that
is
inviting
to
the
pedestrians
who
walk
by
that
side.
So.
N
O
I
O
Yeah,
I
just
maybe
for
a
future
because
it
would
help
the
discussion.
I
think,
in
a
couple
levels.
I
you
know,
I
think
the
there
is
a
bit
of
recess.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
glass
on
nickel,
which
I
actually
appreciate.
I
I
think,
if
it's
the
right
kind
of
glass,
there
can
be
a
nice
sense
of
transparent
and
then
now
you're,
seeing
all
the
activity
inside
of
whatever
that
retail
position
is
now.
O
The
key
is
getting
a
tenant
for
sure,
which
we've
certainly
seen
a
lot
of
issues
around
sort
of
a
blank
or
unleased
spaces,
which
sometimes
is
worse
than
than
not
having
one
at
all.
But
I
think
when
you
look
on
the
north
side,
you
know
that
bit
of
wall
in
composition,
for
me
doesn't
feel
as
oppressive.
Would
it
be
lovely
to
have
some
texture
on
there
not
just
be
a
blank
wall?
O
To
kind
of,
I
think,
as
it
turns
the
corner
down
the
alley,
you
know
how
those
things
go
together,
we're
not
really
getting
a
ton
of
mileage
from
brick
on
the
facade
there.
There
really
isn't
a
large
percentage
of
brick,
and
maybe
it
feels
like
this
sort
of
additive
bit
of
material,
but
that
the
length
of
it
in
the
competition.
When
I
look
at
it,
three
dimensionally
is
not
as
as
as
troublesome
as
when
I
see
it
on
the.
N
F
O
One
more,
I
think,
in
in
the
nature
of
explaining
these
and
seeing
them
in
con
in
context.
I
would
urge
shane,
I
think,
as
we're
reviewing
these
to
make
sure
these
projects
are
presented
in
context
and
not
just
in
plan
like
when
we
see
these
renderings,
even
when
we
see
elevations
that
we
understand
the
adjacent
structures,
their
height
their
materiality.
I
think,
as
we're
reviewing
the
the
nature
of
these
new
interventions
in
our
city.
O
C
C
Q
Q
Q
This
is
michael
margulies
of
valerian
llc.
We
are
the
applicant.
My
address
is
2007
west
franklin,
minneapolis
55405..
I
would
I
think
most
of
the
questions
are
architectural
in
nature.
So
I
would
like
to
ask
michael
coons
of
djr
to
unmute
his
phone
and
and
give
perhaps
some
responses
to
the
architectural
questions
that
were
raised.
R
Yes,
okay,
hi
yeah,
my
name
is
michael
coons,
I'm
an
architect
with
the
djr
minneapolis
and
responsible
for
this
project,
just
a
little
background
on
the
design.
So
when
we
looked
at
this
site,
we
really
thought
that
you
know
the
convergence
of
both
knicklett
avenue
and
36th
being
on
the
corner.
We
needed
to
play
kind
of
treat
the
elevation
with
equal
weight
on
both
and
because
this
is
not,
you
know,
a
very
large
site.
We
decided
to
go
with
the
more
simplistic
palette
and
kind
of
straightforward
design.
R
You
know
it's
five
stories
and
each
elevation
is,
you
know.
One
side
is
120
feet
the
other
side.
I
believe
it's
100
feet.
So
we're
not
talking
about
a
ton
of
building
52
units
and
as
far
as
the
materials
go,
we
are
using
a
really
nice
brick
at
the
base.
It's
a
manganese
iron
spot
blur.
It's
a
it's
a
it's
a
true
brick
cavity
wall.
R
We're
gonna,
use
colored
mortar
at
at
that
brick,
and
then
you
know
the
reason
it's
blank
in
that
one
spot
at
the
at
the
northeast
side
is
because
you
know
we
don't
have
a
sub.
We
don't
have
a
basement
level,
we
don't
have
a
a
subterranean
level
in
this
project
because
of
the
contamination
from
the
gas
station
that
was
during
20
years
ago.
R
So
you
know,
we've
got
utilities
that
need
to
be
in
the
building,
and
you
know
they're
behind
that
wall,
and
you
know
I
I
would
be
up
for
maybe
adding
a
little
bit
different
brick
pattern
there
to
bring
some
some
attention
to
it
or
you
know
to
make
it
less
vast.
But
you
know
that's
that's
the
reason
why
there
is
that
blank
spot
in
the
wall
as
far
as
the
other
materials
in
the
building.
R
You
know
we
are
using
a
dark,
corrugated
metal
panel,
and
you
know
I
don't
think,
what's
coming
too
very
well
in
the
drawings
that
shana
has
presented
and
we've
got.
I
think
some
better
perspectives
that
you
guys
are
probably
seeing
in
your
packages
is
that
we
are
putting
all
that
metal
panel
on
the
z
firing
channel.
So
it's
going
to
have
some
depth
so
we're
going
to
have
a
shadow
line
and
we're
going
to
have
about
four
inches
between
the
outside
face
of
the
material
to
the
window.
R
So
you
know
what's
very
difficult.
A
lot
of
these
multi-family
projects
is
to
get
that
depth
and
decided
on
that's
why
they
all
look
so
flat
without
doing
these
kind
of
moves
in
the
footprint
or
in
plan.
This
way,
it's
allowing
us
to
be
very
efficient
with
the
plan,
but
we're
going
to
get
some
depth
and
play
between
the
materiality
to
get
the
shadow
lines.
So
we're
going
to
so
we're
going
to
get
that
depth
at
the
metal
panel
and
then
it's
going
to
be
more
flat
at
the
fiber
cement.
O
Thanks
for
the
commentary
in
architecture
and
again,
I
think
this.
If
we
all
look
in
our
packets,
while
it
sounds
like
a
subtlety
actually
that
four
inch
bit
of
relief
has
a
big
impact
three-dimensionally
on
the
on
the
project,
I
think
the
ability
to
in
that
dark
facade
to
line
the
head
jam
and
sill
with
a
little
slightly
different
material,
which
catches
light,
does
a
nice
job
of
animating
that
portion
of
the
building.
P
Yeah
hi:
this
is
a
comment
for
for
the
architecture
team
as
well.
My
my
problem
with
the
building
is
just
the
kind
of
lack
of
visual
interest
around
it.
I
mean,
I
think
it
feels
very
imposing
there's,
not
balconies,
there's
not
very
much
green
space
for
the
residents
who
live
here
I
mean.
Is
there
any
way
to
incorporate?
P
You
know
garden
boxes
along
that
wall
or
something
that
can
you
know
either
act
as
an
amenity
for
the
residents
and
the
pedestrian
experience,
and
just
add
some
visual
component
to
it.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
murals,
or
I
mean
it
could
be
anything.
It
just
feels
like
this
building
on
such
a
main
corridor.
It
feels
very
imposing
without
much
green
space
or
visual
elements
to
it
and
and
frankly
feels
very
generic.
C
Thank
you.
I
actually
have
a
follow-up
question
for
the
applicant
myself.
This
has
to
do
with
the
well
kind
of
with
the
comment
that
commission
marwa
made,
but
I'm
just
kind
of
wondering
why
why?
First
of
all,
I
agree
with
all
the
comments
made
so
far,
but
also
wondering
why
there
isn't
the
roof
isn't
utilized
at
all.
H
This
is
the
this:
is
dean,
davos,
dj
architecture,
our
main
amenity
is
on,
and
I
don't
like
to
describe
that.
My
apologies
for
the
set
you're
missing
so
much
detail
the
building,
but
there's
a
large
residence
terrace.
On
the
second
floor
and
michael
mentioned,
that
is
our
main
activity
space,
that's
our
main
congregation
space
and
that's
where
we
focus
all
the
amenities
to
it.
We
chose
not
to
do
the
roof
for
the
very
reason
you
talked
about
it,
being
solar,
ready
and
the
fact.
H
If
you
use
the
rook,
we
have
to
extend
the
elevator,
an
extra
story
and
the
fire
stairs
an
extra
story.
So
that
starts
to
add
a
lot
of
expense
to
the
building
taxes.
So
we
chose
to
let
it
go
solar
ready
and
we
chose
to
make
the
the
main
amenities
on
the
second
floor,
terrace
at
face
of
southeast.
So
that's
where
our
main
tenant
area.
So
it's
actually
quite
a
bit
of
tenant
recreation
area,
4
billion
52
units,
but
it
occurs
on
the
second
story,
not
on
the.
C
J
R
C
S
S
I
live
right
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
block
and
any
time
people
are
trying
to
visit
it's
a
hard
time,
finding
a
spot
already
52
units
and
only
18
parking
spaces.
It
seems
a
little
unrealistic
and
I
think
that
if,
if
you
chant
a
accommodate
for
the
people
living
in
the
unit,
maybe
that
there's
too
many
units.
C
T
T
By
my
count,
there's
five
homes
on
36th
street
between
this
project
and
pillsbury
so
kind
of
within
about
two
blocks
of
this
that
do
not
have
off
street
parking
on
36th
street.
I
haven't,
checked
other
streets
around
3601
to
see
how
many
other
existing
homes
don't
have
off-street
parking,
but
there's
probably
more.
It
would
be
worth
at
least
checking
since
pat's
tap
and
ola
arepa
opened,
which
are
about
two
blocks
north
of
this
proposed
site.
T
There's
a
lot
more
competition
for
the
street
parking
spots
in
front
of
our
home,
which
is
about
four
blocks
away
from
pat's,
tap
and
olorepa,
and
most
of
the
folks
that
are
parking
in
front
of
our
home
are
using
those
restaurants.
So
we
typically
see
the
loads
are
highest
on
wednesday,
thursday,
friday
and
saturday
nights.
T
T
For
us,
it
usually
means
we
have
to
park
about
a
block
further
away
from
our
home,
which
can
be
a
hassle
with
groceries
or
when
our
kids
are
babies.
The
project
proposes
48
market
rate,
housing
units,
four
affordable
units.
In
a
retail
space,
and
yet
only
18
on-site
parking
spots
are
proposed,
it
kind
of
depends
on
what
that
retail
space
becomes.
T
So
I
I
think
the
the
bigger
issue
is
is
not
just
the
impact
on
the
homeowners.
Like
me,
it's
going
to
be
the
impact
on
the
local
restaurants
and
businesses
if
the
street
parking
becomes
unavailable
for
pats
and
oola.
The
folks
who
drive
into
the
city
going
to
those
restaurants
are
going
to
probably
try
to
avoid
parking
issues
like
that,
and
I
don't
see
those
businesses
being
as
viable.
T
So
we
we,
I
guess
we
would-
would
really
appreciate
it
if,
if
you
guys
would
read
the
email
that
I
sent
and
at
least
consider
the
needs
of
the
existing
neighbors
and
the
businesses
and
potentially
consider
doing
permit
only
parking
in
front
of
the
homes
that
already
have
issues
with
the
off
street
parking
spots.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
L
Hello,
yes,
this
is
adam
white
support.
11
west
34th
street
I'd
like
to
offer
my
support
for
this
proposal.
I'd
just
like
to
remind
everyone
that
this
has
been
a
parking
lot
for
whatever
20
years,
and
the
noted
issue
of
being
a
former
gas
station
prevents
redevelopment
or
more
extensive
redevelopment.
L
In
addition,
I
suppose
the
applicant
could
wait
and
repropose
something
where
they'd
be
not
required
to
provide
any
parking
whatsoever,
so
I
do
think
the
fact
that
they
are
proposing
some
parking
should
come
to
some
appreciation
for
surrounding
neighbors.
I'd
like
to
know
that
I
am
a
neighbor.
I
do
frequent
the
nearby
restaurants,
such
as
ola
and
past
tap,
and
I
would
think
that
a
lot
of
my
fellow
neighbors
walk
their
bike
there
instead
of
driving
their
cars.
L
C
C
C
I
Well,
you
know
I
was
kind
of
waiting
to
see
if
other
commissioners
had
any
proposed
modifications
to
the
site
plan
review.
If
they
do
I'd
be
receptive
to
modifications,
I
did
just
want
to
say
for
the
first
variance
a
like
the
last
commenter
mentioned
in
a
month.
They
won't
have
to
build
any
parking
most
likely.
The
2040
plan
eliminates
parking
requirements
all
together
and
their
proposed
18
spaces
are
more
than
they
would
need
to.
I
I
just
want
to
point
out
that,
I'm
that
I
I'm
happy
that
we
have
the
inclusion
of
the
real
triumph.
Real-Time
transit
information
center
that
they
have
to
have
in
the
residential
lobby
on
that,
as
well
as
the
bicycle
parking,
I'm
glad
that
staff
included
those
as
part
of
it
yeah.
I
guess
I
don't
know,
I'm
I'll
wait
to
see
if
there
were
any
proposed
modifications
to
the
site
plan.
If
there
aren't,
then
I
I
can
make
a
motion,
but
let's
see
if
anyone
else.
C
I
C
P
Yeah
hi,
sorry,
it's
taking
a
while
to
load
the
pages.
I
was
trying
to
find
the
the
exact
number
and
it's
like
slowly,
loading
this
huge
document,
but
I
would
propose
a
friendly
amendment
to
to
deny
the
conditional
variance
around
the
the
large
wall
or
I
can't
find
the
exact
wording
I
was
looking
for
in
this
document,
but
about
the
giving
them
the
variance
for
the
long
wall.
Sorry,
someone
can
more
eloquently
state
it.
I'm
trying
to
find
the
exact
a
blank
wall.
K
C
K
Number
section
530.120
of
the
zoning
code
30.120.
That
would
be
a
broad
condition
that
would
allow
them
to
decide
if
they
want
to
add
a
window.
Do
a
material
change,
do
a
recessor
projection
or
you
know
it
would
basically
be
up
to
them
to
comply.
If
you
wanted
to
be
more
specific
about
what
that
compliance
should
look
like,
you
could
draft
the
condition
appropriately.
N
C
J
C
C
L
E
U
E
H
C
V
Good
evening,
president
smiley
and
commissioners,
so
this
project
is
at
3600
east
lake
street
and
next
slide
please.
So
this
is
a
site.
That's,
oh
sorry,
just
go
back
one
please!
I
think
it
must
have
skipped
over.
Thank
you,
so
the
existing
zoning
c2
and
it's
also
in
the
quarter
six
built
form
overlay
district,
there's
an
existing
building
on
the
site
toward
the
intersection
of
36th
and
lake
next
slide.
Please.
V
So
you
can
see
here
where
the
existing
building
is
has
it
has
two
street
frontages?
The
parking
lot
currently
has
20
spaces.
The
applicant
is
u.s
bank
and
they
are
proposing
to
remove
nine
of
the
spaces,
so
there
would
be
11
remaining,
there's,
also
a
small
addition.
You
can
see
in
the
top
photo
that
was
added
as
part
of
the
previous
restaurant
use
and
that
would
be
removed
as
well,
and
the
applicant
is
also
expanding.
V
The
drive
through
lanes
from
one
to
three
next
slide,
please,
the
applications
that
are
required
include
an
expansion
of
illegal
non-conforming
use
to
increase
the
number
of
drive-through
lanes
from
one
to
three.
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
drive-throughs
are
no
longer
an
allowed
use
in
any
zoning
districts
in
the
city,
and
so,
as
a
result,
this
is
a
ex
a
legal
non-conforming
use.
This
has
been
established,
the
use
the
drive-through
itself
has
been
discontinued
for
more
than
a
year.
V
However,
the
prior
owner
and
the
current
owners
have
demonstrated
to
the
city
that
this
discontinuance
has
been
out
of
their
control,
and
so
the
city
and
zoning
administrator
have
determined
that
the
burden
of
burden
of
proof
has
met
to
call
the
existing
certificate
of
non-conforming
rights
still
valid,
and
the
there's
also
a
variance
that's
involved.
With
this.
V
V
V
Another
consideration
is
that
this
bank
is
going
to
be
relocating
from
2800
east
east
lake
street,
which
currently
has
six
drive-through
lanes.
So,
given
that
there's
actually
going
to
be
a
net
decrease
in
the
number
of
drive-through
lanes
that
u.s
bank
would
have
in
this
neighborhood
and
yeah,
so
staff
does
not
find
any
adverse
impacts
that
are
anticipated
next
slide.
Please,
the
this
image
shows
you
where
the
addition
is
that
would
be
removed.
So
that's
215
square
feet
the
far
before
and
after
is
0.1
to
0.1.
V
The
bank
has
stated
that
the
windowless
cooler
edition
would
not
really
be
able
to
be
used
or
repurposed
for
the
bank
use
and
that's
why
they're
proposing
to
demolish
it
and
instead
they're
going
to
propose
landscaping
and
an
addition
in
an
accessible
parking
space
in
this
location.
Next
slide,
please!
V
V
In
addition,
the
the
bank
has
unique
service
needs
so
being
able
to
accommodate.
The
number
of
customers
that
are
coming
during
the
peak
hours
of
afternoon
would
would
to
have
secure
transactions
within
the
building
is
a
need
for
this
site.
Next
slide,
please,
oh!
Actually,
this
is
the
last
slide,
so
I'll
just
I'll
just
say,
state
that
we
have
some
recommended
conditions
of
approval
that
have
to
do
with
adding
additional
canopy
trees
and
also
screening
along
the
lake
street
frontage.
V
I
V
So
yeah
one
thing
I
could
maybe
think
of
is
the
maximum
parking.
I
don't
believe
that
number
has
changed.
I
could
I
could
double
check
here
on
the
side,
but
I
don't
believe
that
has
changed.
I
don't
I'm
not
aware
of
anything
else
that
would
have
affected
this
project.
You
know
have
they
submitted
later.
I
I
V
I
Okay,
so
my
comments
on
this
are
so
I
agree
with
you
know
the
finding
that
the
discontinuance
is
out
of
the
applicant's
control.
That
makes
sense
to
me
some
of
the
statements
that
are
in
the
findings
like
I.
I
don't
support
some
of
the
things
that
are
said
like
for
the
drive-throughs
like
in
the
in
the
applicant's
letter.
They
say
that
drive-through
banking
service
is
more
than
just
a
mere
convenience
for
customers.
I
It's
important
for
customers
with
mobility
issues,
other
health
issues
and
children.
I
mean
to
the
extent
that
that
could
be
true.
It
would
be
met
by
the
existing
drive-through,
that's
being
grandfathered
in
also
in
staff's
report.
You
say
that,
regardless
of
the
size
of
the
existing
building
on
which
the
maximum
parking
account
is
based,
the
bank
has
unique
service
needs.
I
That
said,
I
mean
we
recognize
that
this
is
an
improvement
from
the
previous
site
that
the
applicant
was
based
at
which
had
six
drive-through
lanes
and
then
also
for
the
parking
you
know
on
on
this
site.
There
are
20
spots
and
it
goes
down
to
11.,
but
I
was
hoping
that
we
could
have
a
stronger
requirement
for
conditions
for
them
to
do
more
to
move
away
from
car,
centric
transportation.
I
So,
for
example,
there's
a
condition
in
the
previous
measure
that
we
just
passed
that
the
applicant
shall
provide
a
real-time
transit
information
center
in
the
residential
lobby.
So
I
guess
I'd
like
to
hear
from
like.
First,
I
want
to
hear
from
the
applicant
about
what
measures
the
applicant
is
doing
to
promote
bike,
walk
and
transit
usage
and
would
like
to
consider
some
additional
conditions
to
apply
to
it,
because
you
know
this
site
is
on
the
b-line
brt.
V
Yeah-
and
I
guess
one
thing
I'll
just
add
in
is-
I
know
that
their
original
proposal
had
a
walk-up
atm,
but
that
would
require
a
variance
in
the
zoning
code,
so
they
decided
to
remove
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
that
was
one
thing
that
they
were
thinking
of
doing.
But
it's
not
is
that
favored
by
the
zoning
code.
V
You
would
need
to
apply
for
variance
and
show
that
there's
a
practical
difficulty
in
needing
to
have
the
use
outside
of
enclosed
areas.
I
I'm
not
trying
to
open
up
this
situation
for
discussion
right
now.
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know.
I
know
that
was
one
thing
that
wasn't
in
part
of
the
original:
that's
not
something
that
we
would
want
to
add
as
condition
of
approval,
because
that
would
require
variance
in
the
zoning
code.
C
O
O
G
Thanks,
actually,
my
question
might
be
for
the
applicant,
but
okay,
I'm
I'm
not
sure
I'll
just
ask
and
they
can
maybe
address
it
in
there
presentation
on
january
25th
we
looked
at
a
u.s
bank
with
six
drive-through
lanes
and
approved.
That
and
part
of
the
argument
then
was
well
we're
consolidating
banks
and
and
we'll
have
fewer
locations.
So
it's
higher
intensity
of
use
and
now
we're
seeing
this
with
the
same
comment
that
they're
consolidating.
C
V
C
K
Good,
I
was
also
just
going
to
provide
to
a
commissioner
olson's
comment,
slash
question.
There
is
a
third
u.s
bank
location
in
close
proximity
to
this
one
that
the
applicant
can
speak
to
this,
of
course,
but
they
are
abandoning
that
location.
As
part
of
this,
I
shouldn't
say
abandoning
that
location
was
damaged
by
civil
unrest
and
they
are
not
pursuing
reinvestment
in
that
location
and
instead
are
moving
operations
to
this
site.
At
3600,
east
lake.
C
B
B
As
I
noted,
my
name
is
kirsten
nystrom,
I'm
from
the
u.s
bank
corporate
real
estate
team.
Also
joining
me
on
today's
call
are
eric
loose
from
u.s
bank
jeff,
oro
from
jones
langley,
south
and
carol
lansing
from
bakery
drinker.
They
are
here
to
support
any
questions
that
the
participants
may
have
after
opening
remarks.
B
B
All
three
branches
are
all
three
of
our
permanent
branches
are
closed.
We
have
temporary
operations,
providing
in-service
banking
at
2800,
east
lake
and
in
at
west
broadway.
We
also
have
atm
service
at
both
of
these
locations.
We
have
engaged
ongoing
in
dialogue
with
community
leaders
and
have
really
appreciated
their
input.
As
we've
developed
our
rebuilding
plans
by
the
end
of
2021,
we
expect
to
again
have
permanent
branches
operating
in
these
communities
because
of
the
proximity
to
light
rail.
B
B
We
are
excited
about
the
opportunities
at
2800
east
lake
site,
but
the
reality
is
this
project
is
going
to
take
significant
time
to
complete
likely
out
into
2022
and
2023,
because
of
our
desire
to
reopen
a
branch
sooner,
we
decided
to
purchase
a
site
at
36th
and
lake.
This
will
allow
us
to
provide
permanent
banking
services
to
the
community
by
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021.
B
What
that
really
reflects
is
the
downsize
from.
I
think
what
is
like:
a
40
000
square
foot,
building
at
2800
east
lake
to
a
less
than
2
000
square,
foot,
more
of
a
kind
of
standard
branch
format
and
then
really
kind
of
consolidating.
You
know
all
of
our
business,
banking
and
other
uses
at
the
919
east
lake
street
site.
B
U
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
good
evening.
Commissioners,
my
address
is
90
south
seventh
street
minneapolis,
I'm
with
bakery
drinker,
biddle
and
reed
just
a
couple
of
quick
additions
to
what
kirsten
said
with
respect
to
the
increased
intensity
at
the
919
lake
site
that
we
had
the
hearing
on
on
january
25th.
U
She
explained
that
because
the
2800
site
was
a
much
larger
branch
and
its
customers
are
being
redistributed
to
these
to
the
919
plus
a
smaller
branch
here
at
3600
lake,
that's
going
to
relatively
increase
intensity
at
both
of
those
sites
compared
to
what
might
have
been,
but
also
for
919
lake.
I
just
wanted
to
say
there
were
six
drive-through
lanes
there
and
we're
maintaining
six.
We
didn't
ask
for
an
increase
at
that
location
and
then.
U
Staff
has
gone
through
the
findings
and
you
know,
while
it
sometimes
can
seem
counterproductive
to
think
that
increased
drive-through
lanes
can
actually
be
a
reduction
of
traffic
volume.
That
is
what
the
traffic
study
showed
because
of
the
change
of
use
and
the
decrease
hours.
So
we're
here
to
answer
any
other
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
C
W
O
Thank
you.
I
I
you
were
talking
about
waiting
or
buying
some
time
for
the
larger
site
to
purchase
thinking
mixed
use
is
probably
better
suited.
There
is
it?
Is
this
site,
then
short
term?
Does
it
have
a
sort
of
a
shelf
life?
If
you
will,
are
you
anticipating
using
this
long
term
or
when
that
other
site
gets
fully
built
out?
Will
this
be
decommissioned?
That's
my
first
question
and
the
second
one:
how
did
you
arrive
at
three
drive-through
lanes
is
it?
O
B
So
I
will
visit
kirsten
nystrom.
I
will
take
the
at
least
the
first
part
of
the
question
and
then
I
can
dive
into
the
drive-through
lanes
as
well.
Our
intention
is
this
is
our
long-term
distribution
strategy
in
this
market
with
again
the
flagship
branch
at
919
east
lake
street-
and
this
will
be
you
know
our
kind
of
standard
format
across
the
lake
street
corridor
long
term
at
2800.
B
Then,
as
far
as
the
drive-through
lanes,
again,
we
had
six
lanes
operating
at
2800
east
lake,
with
considerable
volume.
Historically,
and
really
it
was
the
it
was,
the
maximum
amount
that
we
could
fit
on
the
site
and
really
the
the
minimum
amount
desired
by
the
business
line
and
by
our
business
needs.
O
W
C
Commission,
okay,
well
seeing
none
the
rest
of
our
registered
speakers
are
also
the
applicant
team.
So
I
will
ask
at
this
point:
if
there
is
anyone
who's
on
the
line
who
did
not
register
in
advance?
Who
is
wishing
to
speak
to
this
item?
Please
go
ahead
and
unmute
yourself
by
pressing
star
six
and
then
continue
with
stating
your
name
and
address,
and
your
comment.
L
Hello,
yes,
I'd
like
to
speak.
My
name
is
adam
weisenball,
that's
w-y-s-o-p-a-l-11,
west
34th
street.
So
my
issue
is
regarding
the
non-conforming
youth,
as
noted
in
my
previous
comments,
I'll
note
that
the
application
did
not
acknowledge
that
there
was
a
discontinuance
of
the
use.
The
application
does
not
note
when
the
city
made
a
decision
regarding
the
rebuttal
of
discontinuance
either
while
minneapolis
code
does
allow
the
administrator
to
make
decisions
about
applications
for
land
use,
including
non-conforming
uses,
it
says
it
has
to
follow
chapter
531
under
that
chapter.
L
C
C
V
Think
yes,
so
there
was
a
question
about
you
know
when
was
when
it
was
it
discontinued,
and
so
I,
in
speaking
with
the
zoning
administrator,
yes,
it
had
actually
been
determined
that
it
that
the
discontinuance
period
had
extended
one
year,
but
prior
to
that
one
year
mark
the
the
applicant.
The
previous
owners
have
been
in
consistent
contact
with
our
office.
In
anticipation
of
this,
there's
no
requirement
for
a
public
hearing
to
certify
that
the
non-conforming
rights
remain.
V
So
this
is
it's
pretty
routine.
Actually
that
the
zoning
administrator
can
say
we
aren't
going
to
presume
that
it's
been
abandoned
because
we've
we
already
have
documentation
from
the
applicant
that
that's
not
their
intent.
So
there
is
no.
There
is
no
requirement
in
the
to
to
rebut
through
a
public
hearing.
I
C
E
C
G
J
I
J
I
I
Not
for
commercial,
I
don't
think
there
is
one
so
for
residential
there.
You
know
that
was
articulated
in
april
12
ordinance
that
we
passed,
but
I
mean
you
know
if
this
was
like
for
something
of
this
size.
They
wouldn't
normally
need
to
do
any
of
this,
but
because
they're
asking
for
these
additional
car
centric
features,
I
I
feel
it's
appropriate
to
put
some
conditions
on
there
and
you
know
during
the
discussion
they
seemed
receptive
to
that.
J
Yeah,
I'm
so
still
struggling
with.
Why
we
have
I
mean
I
I
I
might
not
know
the
answer.
What's
what's
the
appropriate
number,
whether
it's
one
two
or
three,
this
is
a
fairly
small
parking
lot,
so
I
would
have
thought
that
one
would
be
more
appropriate,
but
I
you
know
I
was
wondering
what
your
rationale
was
beyond
that.
Thank.
E
O
Well,
I
really
appreciate
the
clients
not
building
a
new
building,
reusing
an
existing
structure,
modifying
it
simply
simply
and
kind
of
keeping
the
operation
in
this
president.
I'm
not
going
to
support
this.
I
think,
just
because
of
the
city's
moving
away
from
this,
the
fact
that
is
legally
allowed.
O
I
totally
understand
I
have
been
appreciative
of
the
reduction
of
pervious
surface,
but
the
number
of
additional
drive
lanes
seems
arbitrary
to
me
and
I
think
the
use
as
it
represents
the
kind
of
future
moving
forward
is
not
where
the
city
is
going.
So
I
just
want
to
say
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
motion.
Thank
you.
M
Oh
hi,
sorry,
I've
got
a
blanket,
I'm
cold,
I'm
thinking
about
those
drive-throughs
myself,
and
I
guess
I
it
brings
me
back
to
the
fact
that
we
are
in
a
pandemic,
and
I
see
us
as
moving
in
we're
moving
in
unchartered
water.
So
to
speak
and
there's
a
lot
of
change.
That's
going
to
need
to
happen
because
of
what
we're
learning
about
about
the
pandemic
and
with
variances,
and
I
get
it.
M
Hopefully
we
won't
be
in
this
state
forever,
but
the
idea
that
folks
are
able
to
drive
up-
and
you
know
just
take
care
of
their
business
without
having
to
go
inside.
I
guess
I
I
I
disagree.
I
think
it
is
a
it's
it's
fine
with
me
for
them
to
have
three
and
the
traffic
excuse.
Me
was
not
an
issue,
so
they
said
in
the
in
the
survey
that
was
done.
So
that's
it.
X
Yeah,
thank
you,
president
smiley.
I
agree
with
commissioner
caprini
and
would
go
a
little
bit
further
and
say
that
I
think
you
know
a
lot
went
into
this
application
and
the
applicant,
I
think,
is
more
than
you
know,
giving
a
nod
to
many
many
city
policies
in
the
in
the
whole
of
this
project
and
considering
what
happened
to
all
their
businesses
during
the
the
civil
unrest.
X
I
think
we
should
encourage
as
much
rebuilding
as
possible,
and
I
do
think
you
know
the
the
donation
of
the
other
property
and
everything
is,
is
a
little
bit
unheard
of
in
the
time
that
I've
been
on
this
commission,
and
I
certainly
want
to
encourage
things
like
that.
So
I
I
think
that
there's
there's
more
than
just
a
passing
nod
here
to
to
greater
policies
of
the
city
and-
and
I
actually
think
I'm
I'm
pleased
to
see
it,
and
I
think
this
is
a
good
project
to
support.
J
J
F
E
U
E
G
D
L
C
K
A
It's
my
understanding
that
this
is
the
intention
to
present
a
neutral,
unbiased
or
impartial
position
by
the
officer
that
leads
the
body's
consideration
of
business
and
proposals
before
it
and,
though
well-intentioned
just
to
reiterate,
this
is
not
a
requirement
of
law.
If
the
need
to
have
the
president
of
a
planning
body
absolutely
be
impartial
in
all
aspects.
One
would
assume,
of
course,
that
state
legislation
that
creates
these
bodies
would
provide
for
that
uniformity.
A
It
does
not.
The
statutes
do
not
express
this
uniform
requirement
for
planning
jurisdictions
across
the
state.
In
fact,
the
president
of
this
body
is,
first
and
foremost,
a
member
of
the
planning
commission
equal
in
respect
to
the
rights
and
responsibilities
that
are
shared
by
all
members
of
the
planning
commission.
Neither
the
statutes,
as
I've
indicated,
our
ordinances
of
the
city,
nor
the
bylaws
of
this
body,
explicitly
restrict
the
voting
rights
of
the
president.
A
The
authority,
of
course,
as
you
know,
of
the
planning
commission
is
vested
collectively
in
the
membership
in
total,
the
president
has
no
special
legal
status
or
additional
or
separate
rights
from
the
body.
The
president
is
in
fact
selected
by
the
members
to
essentially
function
as
the
first
among
a
body
of
equals.
A
The
need
for
the
president
to
present
a
neutral
position,
of
course
relates
to
that
officer's
duty
to
preside
over
meetings,
but
as
a
member,
the
individual
selected
still
retains
the
equal
right
to
introduce
proposals
to
introduce
motions
or
amendments
to
debate
and
to
vote
on
questions
before
the
body
we're
not
prevented
otherwise
due
to
a
conflict
of
interest.
I
think
my
personal
opinion,
the
tradition
of
not
allowing
the
president
to
vote
or
take
an
active
role,
actually
has
a
combined
effect
of
disempowering
and
in
some
cases
over
empowering
that
single
member.
A
At
the
same
time,
by
refraining
from
participating
in
the
bulk
of
business
brought
before
the
body,
I
think
it
disempowers
that
member
their
voice
is
not
heard.
Their
perspectives
are
not
brought
to
the
table,
they
aren't
participating
as
a
member,
and
so
that
would
disempower
the
person
who
is
serving
as
president,
but
in
the
case
of
very
sensitive
or
challenging
matters.
On
the
other
end.
A
I
do
respect
the
need
for
impartiality
in
the
person
who's
chairing
a
meeting
and
presiding
over
the
different
proposals
before
it,
but
in
that
case
the
president
should
turn
over
the
chair
to
the
vice
president
or
another
member,
so
that
they
can
participate.
That's
exactly
the
same
treatment
that
we
do
with
the
president
of
city
council
that
you've
seen
at
city
council
meetings
where
the
council
member,
who
is
selected
as
the
president
is
first
and
foremost
a
member
they're.
One
of
13
members
elected
by
one
of
13
wards
to
be
a
member
of
city
council.
A
A
They
concur
in
the
idea
of
the
practice
that
this
long-standing
practice
of
refraining
from
participating
is
not
necessary,
doesn't
serve
a
legal
purpose
and
we
agree.
The
better
practice
is
for
the
body
to
allow
the
president
to
fully
engage
and
participate
so
that
those
perspectives
that
voice
those
opinions
are
also
brought
to
the
table
on
all
matters
and
not
just
in
those
limited
cases
where
there
might
be
a
sensitive
or
complex
issue.
A
So
it
was
my
point
in
coming
to
your
meeting
tonight
to
speak
to
this
issue,
which
I
know
has
been
raised
in
previous
times
to
offer
my
perspective
the
perspective
that
we
have
discussed
both
with
your
professional
planning
staff
with
the
city
attorney's
office
and
then
with
the
city
clerk's
office,
taking
a
larger
role
in
terms
of
meeting
management.
For
this
body
and
wanted
to
offer
that
that
insight
for
your
consideration,
thank
you,
madam
president,.
C
A
Madam
president,
two
members
of
the
commission
there
is
no
necessary
change
to
make.
This
is
a
tradition.
It's
not
a
bylaw,
it's
not
a
an
ordinance
provision,
so
it's
simply
changing
a
practice
which
doesn't
require
a
formal
action.
It
would
mean
that
going
forward
on
your
roll
calls,
the
president's
name
would
be
called
iso
at
the
end
as
we
do
with
other
boards,
where
the
presiding
officer
is
called
last
on.
Every
roll
call
vote
and
the
president
would
be
able
to
cast
their
vote
equal
to
every
other
member.
I
Yeah,
I
also
agree
that
we
should
have
the
the
chair
of
the
meeting
be
voting.
I
brought
that
up
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
when
we
we
selected
our
new
leadership,
and
I
think
it
should
also
be
applicable
to
the
committee
of
the
whole.
I
think
it
you
know
for
commissioner
olsen
like
I
want
to
hear
what
she
has
to
say
for
a
committee,
the
whole
item
so
yeah.
So
I
support
changing
this
practice.
C
C
A
You,
madam
president,
to
the
members
for
allowing
me
to
be
at
your
meeting
and
to
offer
that
comment.
I
agree
with
the
comments
were
offered
and
I
I
hope
that
you
find
that
that
added
voice
and
perspective
in
your
meetings
is
beneficial.
I
assume
that
you,
you
would
and
that
you
will
continue
to
find
that
to
be
of
value
as
you
move
forward.
So
thank
you
for
being
open
to
change.
