I'm

I'm

and
I
just

on

Thank

We

we're

So
that's
our
primary
goal
and
we

C
All
right,
moving
on
to
public
hearing
number
three:
this
is
on
the
hennepin
school
building
company
revenue
bond
issuance,
and
I
will
invite
staff
to
give
a
presentation.
L
Hennepin
schools
is
a
minnesota
charter
school
currently
operating
two
campuses
for
elementary
and
middle
school
students
in
minneapolis
hennepin
schools
is
looking
to
consolidate
into
one
location.
The
hennepin
building
company,
which
is
an
affiliate
of
hennepin
schools,
will
purchase
a
12.5
acre
property
at
1001.
L
East
46th
street
hennepin
building
company
will
renovate
the
existing
structures
combining
both
the
elementary
and
middle
schools
into
a
new
k-8
campus
total
enrollment
for
the
2021
school
year
was
380.
Students
with
the
renovation
enrollment
would
increase
to
621
students
by
the
25-26
school
year.
The
total
project
cost
is
approximately
19
million
dollars.
L
Hennepin
schools
has
requested
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
issue
up
to
22
million
dollars
in
tax-exempt
charter
school
lease
revenue,
bonds
for
the
acquisition
renovation
and
equipping
of
the
schools
operation
of
the
school
and
payment
of
the
bonds
will
rest
entirely
with
the
company
and
the
charter
school.
As
with
any
conduit
bond
issuance,
the
funds
will
come
from
bondholders
purchasing
the
bonds,
not
from
city
funds.
L
The
bonds
will
not
be
secured
by
the
taxing
powers
of
the
city
or
any
city
assets
or
properties.
The
issuance
of
these
bonds
does
not
count
towards
any
bond
allocation
cap.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
about
this
project
and
I
also
have
several
individuals
from
the
school's
project
team
on
the
line
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
for
them.
C
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
I
I
will
see
if
my
colleagues
have
any
questions
I
do
this
is
in
my
ward,
so
I
think
I
really
appreciate
the
presentation.
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
I'll
phrase.
I
do
have
one
question
that
I've
gotten
from
constituents
and
just
want
to
be
really
clear
on
this-
that
this
will
not
cost
the
city
any
amount
of
money,
and
it
is
not
the
city
giving
money
to
a
charter
school.
L
C
C
All
right
well,
thank
you,
staff
for
the
presentation
and
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public

and
I'll.
Ask
the
staff
to
give
the
presentation.
M
Thank
you,
chair
schrader.
My
name
is
melanie
smith.
I'm
presenting
on
behalf
of
cpad
the
subject
site
is
50
11,
50,
15,
france
avenue
south.
Oh
I
I
just
noticed
that
the
the
box
around
the
ariel
is
wrong.
So
don't
look
at
where
the
red
lines
are,
but
it's
5011
and
5015..
M
This
is
located
at
the
southeast
corner
of
the
intersection
of
france,
avenue
and
50th
street
west.
It's
two
parcels
and
they're
located
in
the
c1
district,
the
po
overlay
district
and
the
corridor
for
built
form
overlay
district.
M
If
you
could
advance
the
slide,
please
here's
some
photos
of
the
area
and
also
an
elevation
showing
where
the
subject
site
is
next
slide.
Please
and
here's
a
rendering
provided
by
the
applicant
as
part
of
the
planning
commission
application,
and
so
the
proposal
is
a
six-story
mixed-use
building.
It
has
16
dwelling
units
and
also
ground
floor
commercial.
M
M
So
the
the
admin
height
crease
is
to
go
from
four
stories
which
is
allowed
in
quarter
four
up
to
six
stories
and
then
the
the
far
premiums
are
also
part
of
the
site
plan
review
analysis
and
that
doesn't
require
variance,
is
just
providing
premiums
through
the
built
form
overlay
districts
next
slide,
please
so
here's
the
ground
floor
plan,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
north
side
of
the
site,
that's
where
the
residential
lobby
and
bike
parking
in
amenity
area
is
and
then
on.
M
There
is
an
entrance
to
the
underground
parking
off
of
the
alley
which
is
adjacent
to
the
site
to
the
east
backslide
please,
and
here's
an
example
of
one
of
the
floor
plans.
This
is
the
second
floor.
It
shows
that
there
are
really
sizable
balconies
and
that
it's
not
you
know
it's
not
lot
lined
to
lot
line
development.
They
have
significant
setbacks
on
each
level.
M
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
so
this
one
shows
how
all
of
the
floors
look,
and
so
you
can
see
here
that
each
each
level
is
varied
and
has
significant
setbacks
above
the
first
floor
next
slide.
Please
here
is
an
elevation.
M
This
is
the
west
elevation
facing
france.
As
you
can
see,
you
can
the
first
floor
height
does
correspond
to
neighboring
buildings
and
then
above
the
first
floor,
there
are
setbacks.
As
you
can
see,
the
design
would
enhance
and
support
the
active
pedestrian
character
along
france
avenue
through
the
glass
glass,
continuous
glass
panel
and
also
the
awnings
provided
next
slide.
Please.
M
This
is
the.
I
think
this
is
the
east
elevation
facing
the
alley
next
slide,
and
then
this
is
the
north.
I
want
to
say
I'm
sorry,
I
can't
really
see
yeah
north
elevation
next
slide.
Please
and
then
the
south
facing
another
one-story
building
next
slide.
Please
and
then
here's
just
a
closer
up
rendering,
and
so
the
development
does
meet
or
exceed
all
of
the
site
plan
review
standards,
except
for
they
requested
alternative
compliance
for
the
blank
wall
which
was
facing
the
south
and
was
on
the
alley
side.
M
They
also
were
requesting
alternative
compliance
for
on-site
canopy
trees,
but
they've
provided
numerous
other
trees
and
plantings
on
the
outdoor
balconies.
The
planning
commission
approved
this
development
at
their
july
19th
hearing
and
if
we'll
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
can
get
into
some
of
the
appeal
issues.
So
the
issues
raised
by
the
appeal
they're
appealing
both
the
height
increase
and
the
site
plan
review
application.
M
M
In
the
zoning
code,
a
zoning
lot
may
not
be
awarded
multiple
increases
for
the
same
premium,
except
as
specified
in
table
552.13
floor
air
ratio,
premiums
authorizing
transit,
30
and
core
50..
So
the
applicant
is
I'm
sorry.
The
appellant
is
claiming
that
this
ordinance
section
has
been
misapplied.
M
We
acknowledge
that
there
is
some
ambiguity
in
how
this
could
be
interpreted,
but
my
presentation
will
demonstrate
that
staff
has
been
consistent
in
applying
this
language,
both
before
and
after
the
adoption
of
the
ordinance
so
just
to
clarify
again-
and
I
can
we'll
just
stay
on
the
that
previous
slide
for
one
second.
So
just
to
review
again.
The
applicant
has
proposed
two
premiums
to
increase
height
and
to
increase
the
floor
area
ratio.
M
So
what
I'm
sorry
three
to
include
increase
the
fourier
ratio
and
they've
applied
for
environmental
sustainability,
as
well
as
mixed
use,
commercial
and
residential
to
increase
height
and
then
for
to
increase
the
floor,
air
ratio.
They
apply
for
environmental
sustainability
and
mixed
use,
commercial,
residential
and
enclosed
parking,
and
so
two
of
these
have
the
same
name
and
so
that
appellant
is
claiming
that
you
would
not
be
able
to
do
this
under
the
written
ordinance.
M
But
we're
trying
to
clarify
here
that
the
intention
of
the
ordinance
is
to
specify
that
the
project
cannot
be
awarded.
Two
height
increases
for
the
same
premium
or
two
to
three
f,
far
increases
for
the
same
premium.
It's
not
saying
that
they
can't
apply
for
a
premium
with
the
same
or
similar
name
for
both
height
and
far,
and
that's
what
we
are
allowing
applicants
to
do
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide.
M
So
this
is.
This
is
a
screenshot
of
the
code
in
the
core
30
core
50
and
transit
30
table.
It
actually
specifies
this
is
the
only
place
in
the
ordinance
where
you
could
have
the
through
block
connection
premium
and
apply
that
multiple
times
to
increase
your
far.
So
this
is
what
that
ordinance
is
saying,
in
contrast
to
this
section
of
the
ordinance
where
you
could
actually
have
multiple
increases
from
the
same
premium.
You
can't
otherwise
do
that.
M
So,
if
you
look
at
the
bottom
of
this
slide,
this
is
showing
you
an
example:
the
grocery
store
premium.
So
this
is.
This
is
saying
that
you
know
you
have
to
provide
at
least
five
thousand
square
feet
of
public
space
for
the
grocery
store
and
that
you
have
to
have
fresh
produce.
So
what
it's?
What
we're?
M
What
my
point
is
in
providing
this
example
is
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
have
two
grocery
stores,
totaling
10
000
square
feet,
or
one
grocery
store,
totaling
10
000
square
feet
and
then
get
the
grocery
store
premium
over
and
over
again,
the
ordinance
is
saying
that
you
can
only
get
this
once,
no
matter
how
large
the
grocery
store
is
no
matter
how
many
grocery
stores
you're
providing
that's
what
the
purpose
of
this
this
ordinance
language
is
meant
to
address.
M
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please,
and
so
just
to
reiterate,
our
intent
has
been
made
clear
and
publicly
communicated
by
staff
in
presentations
and
on
application
forms
and
in
pre-application
meetings.
Before
and
after
after
the
adoption.
M
M
You
know
we
have
direct
language
from
our
presentations
and
presentation,
notes
that
a
project
doesn't
necessarily
qualify
for
height
premium
if
it
qualifies
for
far
and
in
general,
the
height
premium
is,
is
going
to
be
a
little
harder
to
achieve,
and
this
is
most
clearly
explained
through
some
of
if
you
look
at
the
actual
criteria
for
some
of
the
height
premiums
that
have
the
same
name
as
the
far
premiums
that
the
height
premiums
sometimes
have
different
criteria.
So
we
wouldn't
automatically
apply
that
to
both
or
allow
somebody
to
to
have
them
for
both.
M
So
you
would
have
to
apply
for
these
separately,
but
you
could.
You
could
apply
for
the
mix-use
commercial,
for
instance,
for
both
height
and
far,
and
then
I
just
also
want
to
bring
up
a
few
examples.
The
planning
commission
has
already
approved
a
few
projects
that
have
used
the
same
premiums,
the
same
named
premiums
for
both
a
height
increase
and
for
an
far
increase,
so
1309
4th
street
southeast.
That
was
a
seven
story,
seven-story
mixed-use
building
and
the
applicant
used
the
affordable
housing
premium
to
qualify
for
both
height
and
far.
M
It's
another
seven-story
mixed-use
building
in
corner
six
and
they
used
the
affordable
housing
premium
for
height
increase
and
also,
and
also
environmental
sustainability
for
height
increase
and
the
same
named
premiums
for
floor
area
ratio
increases
next
slide.
Please,
and
so
here's
just
a
screenshot
from
the
height
increase
application
that
can
be
found
on
our
website.
M
It
clarifies
in
the
notes
a
zoning
lot
may
not
be
awarded
multiple
increases
for
the
same
height
increase
premium,
so
this
again
solidifies
our
intent
of
of
how
that
section
of
the
ordinance
should
be
interpreted
next
slide.
Please
and
then
here's
a
comparison
of
the
far
increase
premium
descriptions
compared
to
the
ones
with
the
same
name
for
a
height
increase.
So,
as
you
can
see,
these
are
examples
where
the
child
care
center
premium
has
a
different
criteria,
has
has
additional
criteria
for
a
height
increase.
Premium.
M
Same
same
goes
for
the
mixed-use
commercial
and
residential
there's,
there's
a
little
it's
a
little
bit
stricter.
The
wording
is
different
and
then
same
goes
for
urban
open
space
space
and
oh
and
outdoor
open
space
for
the
height
increase
premium.
There
are
additional
standards
required
for
the
height
increase
premium,
so
it's
not
it's
not
identical.
It's
not
meant
to
be
identical
and
height
increases
are
meant
to
be
harder
to
achieve
next
slide.
M
Please
I'm
just
going
to
move
on
to
other
areas
of
the
appellant
statement,
so
they
say
that
findings
have
not
been
made
to
support
the
built
to
to
support
the
height
increase.
M
So
this
says
the
portion
of
the
building
receiving
the
height
increased
response
to
a
change
in
belt
form
on
adjacent
properties
in
less
intense
built
form,
overlay
districts
with
a
gradual
transition
and
height
and
scale,
and
so
the
staff
report
has
very
in-depth
findings
that
respond
to
this
hype.
M
This
finding
requirement
to
increase
admin
to
increase
the
height
administratively
and
so
staff
finds
that
the
applicant
has
responded
to
a
change
in
the
built
hormone,
adjacent
properties
and
especially
by
increasing
the
setbacks
of
the
floors
and
of
the
upper
stories,
and
this
also
helps
to
break
up
the
massing
on
all
sides
of
the
building.
M
So
I'll
note
again,
this
is
not
this
building
is
in
the
c1
district.
It's
not
directly
adjacent
to
any
residential
property.
So
there
are
no
setbacks
required.
You
know
by
by
right
they
would
be
able
to
go
straight
up
four
stories
as
a
box,
but
the
applicant
has
proposed
something
different
here:
they're
proposing
to
set
levels
two
through
five
back
10
feet:
nine
inches
from
the
south
property
line.
The
sixth
floor
is
actually
set
back
31
feet
from
the
south
property
line
and
then
to
the
east.
M
It's
adjacent
to
interior
two,
it's
separated
by
an
alley,
but
the
first
through
fourth
levels
are
set
back
six
feet:
nine,
six
between
six
feet
and
nine
feet;
inches
from
the
east
property
line
and
levels.
Five
and
six
are
set
back
30
feet,
four
inches
from
the
east
property
line,
so
these
are
significant
changes
in
the
massing
as
they
go
up
next
slide.
Please.
M
Then
the
another
finding
that
has
to
be
met
for
the
administrative
height
increase
is
that
the
built
form
and
massing
are
distributed
in
a
manner
appropriate
to
the
scale
of
the
built
surroundings
to
address
shadowing
public
realm
and
solar
energy
systems.
M
So
the
staff
finds
that
the
block
contains
a
lot
of
different
types
of
buildings
with
varied
height
and
scale,
including
a
building
across
france
avenue,
which
is
four
stories,
but
has
a
much
different
scale
from
this
the
subject
site.
The
the
building
across
the
street
is
nearly
a
half
block
long,
so
it
has
quite
a
different
scale
than
what
the
applicant
is
proposing
on
a
133
foot
wide
lot.
M
The
shadow
study
that
has
been
provided
by
the
applicant
shows
that
most
impacts
the
north
and
northeast
again.
The
setbacks
above
the
first
floor
will
help
to
mitigate
shadowing
and
then
the
the
nearest
solar
energy
system
is
700
feet
away
and
would
have
no
would
not
be
impacted
by
this
building
next
slide.
Please.
M
And
then
ambiguous
findings
on
environmental
sustainability
is
another
concern
brought
up
by
the
applicant
appellant,
so
the
appellant
is
is
actually
is
concerned
that
this
particular
condition
of
approval
from
the
planning
commission
is
not
enforceable
prior
to
building
permit
issuance,
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
we
do
require
the
certification
to
be
submitted
for
the
entire
sustainability
premium.
That
has
to
be
shown
before
permit
sign-off,
regardless
of
whether
the
condition
specifically
includes
the
words
before
building
permits
may
be
issued.
M
This
is
just
standard
practice
for
all
of
our
conditions
of
approval
and
when
they
must
be
proven
before
the
building
permit
is
issued
next
slide,
please
and
then
the
fourth.
The
appellant
has
issues
with
the
wording
of
the
finding
that
exterior
materials
are
consistent
and
compatible
on
all
sides
of
the
building.
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
out.
The
ordinance
does
not
require
that
exterior
materials
are
matching
surrounding
that
extra
materials
match
surrounding
development.
M
M
That
concludes
my
portion
of
the
presentation
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
C
Not
seeing
any
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing
with
this
type
of
hearing
we'll
give
the
applicant
the
opportunity
to
make
their
case
first.
Sarah
hansen
or
a
representative
on
the
call.
N
N
M
C
Do
we
have
the
balance
slides?
We
can
put
those
up.
N
N
Well,
we
understand
that
there
have
been
gestures
made
of
pulling
back
upper
floors
away
from
the
sideline.
You
can
see
that
this
towers
over
everything
around
it.
Much
like
as
if
godzilla
had
come
in
and
sat
down
in
this
neighborhood,
it
is
not
proportionate
to
anything
else
around
it.
Please
go
to
slide
two
slide.
Two
is
a
summary
of
the
premium
section
of
the
minneapolis
code
of
ordinances.
N
Then
the
wording
should
be
changed
and
allow
me
to
review
550
to
600
states
that
the
premiums
are
established
to
allow
development
by
allowing
maximum
height
and
floor
area
ratios
to
be
increased.
Two
different
items,
the
next
item-
552.610
states,
a
zoning
lot-
may
not
be
awarded
multiple
increases
for
the
same
premium.
N
N
I
will
concede
that
staff
may
have
interpreted
this
consistently
otherwise,
but
that
is
not
what
the
ordinance
says
and
the
consul
should
not
allow
that
to
continue
and
require
that,
if
that
is
what
is
the
desire
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
then
the
ordinance
should
be
amended
to
make
552.610
state.
Otherwise,
I'd
like
to
go
to
my
second
point
and
for
that
I'd
like
to
advance
my
slides
in
the
interest
of
time
to
what
is
shown
in
the
lower
right
hand
corner
as
page
7..
N
N
N
N
It's
not
a
matter,
and
I
it's
not
a
matter
that
there
wasn't
a
finding
it's
a
matter
that
the
facts
do
not
support.
The
finding
and
it's
not
even
a
matter
of
a
judgment
call
there
is
no
way
to
find
that
leaping
up
from
two
stories
to
six
stories
at
the
lot
line
is
a
gradual
transition
in
height
and
scale,
and
this
is
a
required
finding.
N
N
What
it
can't
do
is
double
up
on
the
use
of
those
premiums
first
for
one
parameter
and
then
for
another
parameter
under
the
plain
language
of
the
ordinance,
you
can't
have
a
six
story
building,
because
you
cannot,
upon
these
facts,
find
that
it's
a
gradual
transition
to
leap
up
from
two
stories
to
six
stories.
It
would
be
one
thing
if
there
were
four
story
buildings
flanking
this.
That
would
be
a
gradual
transition.
N
This
is
not,
I
appreciate
your
time
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
answer
them
by
the
way.
Just
so
it's
clear,
I'm
the
attorney
for
the
5000
france
condominium
association,
not
for
stroll
enhancing
pa.
That's
my
law
firm.
I
perhaps
filled
out
the
form
wrong.
5000
france,
condominium
association
is
a
residential
condominium
across
the
street,
from
where
this
building
will
be
built.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I
think
we
also
have
a
presentation
slides
to
accompany
our
discussion
today,
and
we
wanted
to
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
speak
and
respond
to
the
appellant's
comments.
I
will
start
with
the
second
slide
in
my
slide
presentation
again
to
respond
directly
to
comments
received
by
the
appellant.
B
Again,
I
think
planner
smith
has
done
an
excellent
job,
explaining
the
intent
of
the
language
from
zoning
code
regarding
multiple
increases
being
awarded
for
the
same
premium.
I'd
like
to
advance
to
slide
three
and
just
spend
a
moment
talking
about
the
timeline
and
our
team's
process
working
on
this
project
with
the
city.
B
So
it's
important
to
note
that
the
built
forum
standards
went
into
effect
the
first
of
the
year
2021.
B
Our
process
moved
forward
with
a
public
presentation
that
was
put
on
by
the
planning
department,
architects,
designers
and
developers
were
invited
to
come
and
listen
to
the
rollout
of
the
new
build
forum,
standards
and
zoning
updates
on
the
27th
of
january,
and
I
think
this
is
important
to
note,
because
the
question
that
attorney
hansen
has
brought
up
regarding
counting
the
same
premium
for
both
far
and
height
was
brought
up
by
a
different
architect
and
myself
to
clarify
that
it
is
in
fact
allowed
to
use
the
same
premium
name
for
both
fahrenheit,
and
it
was
confirmed
during
that
presentation.
B
B
She
reviewed
that
with
other
city
staff
in
the
planning
department
confirmed
by
email
on
the
17th
that,
yes,
it
was
acceptable
and
the
intent
of
the
zoning
code
to
allow
that
further
down
the
list.
You'll
see
that
we
have
continued
to
work
together
with
the
city
shared
the
project.
With
council
person
that
represents
this
ward,
we've
also
invited
the
public
to
comment
and
view
the
project
prior
to
the
project
being
formally
submitted
to
receive
comments
and
get
feedback
from
them.
B
That
meeting
was
held
in
may
project
was
formally
submitted
to
begin
the
preliminary
development
review
and
landing's
application
process.
On
the
first
of
june
comments
received
from
the
city
on
the
16th
of
june
and
as
mailing
smith
mentioned,
the
project
was
presented
at
the
planning
commission
and
unanimously
approved
at
the
july
19th
public
hearing
next
slide.
Please.
B
The
next
comment
from
the
appellant
is
about
no
findings
on
belt
form
and
height.
I
will
expand
on
what
melanie
smith
described
in
response
to
this,
and
if
you
would
go
to
the
fifth
slide,
slide
number
five.
Please.
There
is
a
diagram
here
that
shows
the
conceptual
approach
to
accommodate
this
portion.
B
B
Our
opinion
is
that
the
intent
of
the
zoning
code
here
is
to
respond
to
the
adjacent
built
form
overlay
districts,
not
necessarily
the
height
of
the
existing
buildings,
which
attorney
hanson
is
referring
to
again
south
of
our
property.
Is
a
different
belt
form
overlay
district
corridor,
three,
not
corridor.
Four.
It
allows
buildings
of
three
to
four
stories
in
height,
as
melanie
smith
mentioned
earlier,
east
of
our
property
2.5
story
developments
are
allowed
on
what
is
called
an
interior
two
belt
form
overlay
district.
B
B
Slide
six
shows
an
image:
a
rendered
image
of
the
project
adjacent
to
the
5000
france,
building
on
the
right
side
of
the
image.
You'll
see
it
that's
a
brick
structure,
it
has
a
five
story,
circulation
tower
at
the
center
and
then
four
stories
of
construction.
On
the
other
side,
as
melanie
smith
mentioned,
it's
a
very
large
development
that
covers
much
of
the
western
block
in
this
area
of
the
neighborhood.
B
Our
proposal
is
only
two
parcels
just
under
134
feet
in
street
frontage.
So
it's
not
a
very
long
building
face
to
face
across
the
street
and
sidewalks
with
a
distance
of
70
feet.
In
addition
to
that
upper
floors
of
our
building
are
stepped
in.
In
order
to
reduce
the
face
of
the
building
that
is
along
the
property
line
on
the
edge
of
the
sidewalk
on
france
avenue,
you
can
see
dimensions
added
in
this
diagram
that
show
you
the
total
width
of
the
second
floor
being
only
87
feet
less
than
the
full
width.
B
The
parcel
the
third
floor,
80
feet
less
than
the
whole
lead
to
the
partial
fourth
floor.
78
feet
5th
floor,
60
feet.
The
setbacks
are
also
shown
providing
additional
distance
or
separation
between
the
appellants
property,
additional
24
feet
and
15
feet
at
the
sixth
floor,
24
feet
at
the
fifth
floor
and
33
feet
on
the
fourth
floor.
B
Next
slide.
Please
slide
heat
addresses
the
question
about
shadowing.
The
first
slide
here
was
submitted
as
a
part
of
the
application.
It
is
the
existing
conditions
that
shows
that
there
are,
in
fact
many
shadows
cast
by
existing
buildings
on
the
property
and
near
the
property,
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
shadow
studies
are
abstract.
They
show
the
impact
of
clear
sky
direct
sun
only
there's
many
factors
that
influence
shadows
in
daylight,
such
as
cloud
cover
material,
texture,
color,
artificial
lighting,
trees
on
the
streetscape
moving
vehicles
in
minneapolis.
B
B
It
does
cast
shadows,
but
not
in
a
way
that's
detrimental
or
negative
to
surrounding
structures.
Slide
10,
please,
to
support
that
comment.
We're
providing
some
additional
views,
hopefully
to
help
alleviate
the
concerns
of
the
appellant
and
show
them
the
impact
of
our
building
on
the
5000
france
building.
B
So
the
first
images
on
slide
10
show
times
of
the
day
throughout
the
day.
This
is
a
solar
analysis.
At
the
summer,
equinox
longest
day
of
the
year,
you'll
notice
that
our
building
does
shadow
the
appellants
building
at
5000
france
in
the
morning
time,
but
by
8
am
those
shadows.
Impact
is
limited
only
to
the
commercial
space
in
the
subject
building
across
the
street
by
9
a.m.
There's
no
shadows
cast
on
their
building
slide.
B
11
shows
the
spring
equinox
again
at
this
point
in
the
year
spring
or
fall,
the
sun
is
lower
in
the
sky,
so
the
shadow
conditions,
change
you'll
notice
again
that
7
a.m
and
8
a.m.
There
are
shadows
cast
by
the
proposed
building
by
9,
am
the
shadow
effect
is
diminished
and
at
midday
the
5
000
france
building
is
full
access
to
sun.
B
The
third
slide
shows
you
the
impact
of
winter
equinox,
shortest
day
of
the
year,
similar
story
here
again,
you'll
see
in
the
top
left
two
images
8
am
and
9
am
that
there
is
a
morning
impact
and
I'm
going
to
advance
the
slides
slide
13
to
show
an
enlargement
of
those
slide.
13
shows
you
the
impact
at
8.
B
C
Just
want
to
jump
in,
I
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
one
minute
warning
usually
only
allow
folks
to
go
for
about
10
minutes
and
you're
nearing
that
mark,
so
just
if
you
could
wrap
up
please
thank
you.
B
B
Point
four
regarding
inconsistent
building
materials.
Again,
I
think
it's
been
explained
well
by
mailing
smith
and
I
do
point
to
on
slide
19
I'll
link
to
the
minneapolis
zoning
policy
website,
which
explains
that
intent
quite
well.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
listening
to
our
presentation
and
allowing
us
to
speak
to
the
project.
Our
intent
has
always
been
to
work
with
the
city
to
provide
a
project
that
follows
its
rule
set
and
do
that
by
communicating
and
participating
in
your
process.
B
We
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
premium
system
is
an
incentive
based
based
zoning
system.
So,
in
order
to
allow
us
to
do
a
taller
building,
the
developer
is
choosing
to
invest
more,
provide
a
better
building,
higher
quality
materials,
a
more
sustainable
building
and
one
that
we
feel
really
fits
well
with
the
neighborhood
and
the
intent
of
the
zoning
code.
And
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
please
don't
hesitate
to
ask
me.
C
B
The
development
team
does
not.
We
have
discussed
that
question
at
length
and
they
are
looking
at
options
for
who
that
could
be
or
what
business
could
be
in
there.
K
C
C
I
C
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
This
is
judy
johnson,
I'm
the
director
of
the
50th
and
france
business
association,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
come
before
you
today
with
comments
that
were
put
together
by
our
board
of
directors
and
submitted
on
behalf
of
the
association
regarding
this
development.
I
also
want
to
thank
planner
mailing
smith
for
her
help
in
this
process,
as
well
as
we've
submitted
these
comments
for
your
consideration
as
part
of
the
six
points
that
we'd
like
to
make.
I
We
first
want
to
say
that
we
are
very
enthusiastic
about
continued
development
in
the
50s
and
france
business
districts.
It's
something
that
we
support,
and
with
that,
though,
we
have
the
goal
at
the
association
of
promoting
and
marketing
a
really
vibrant
walkable
business
district.
That's
set
within
a
neighborhood
setting
in
both
cities
of
minneapolis
and
the
city
of
edina.
I
One
point
that
we'd
like
to
make
is
really
working
to
improve
pedestrian
flow.
It's
an
important
part
of
our
district.
We've
got
a
lot
of
modes,
whether
that
be
pedestrians,
bikers
skateboarders
bicyclists.
We
are
hoping
that
we
can
see
some
additional
green
space
and
buffering
along
france
avenue.
That
would
allow
for
some
better
visibility
and
help
improve
pedestrian
flow
and
safety.
It's
one
of
the
things
that
we
hear
consistently
from
our
association
businesses
that
they
are
concerned
about.
I
One
of
the
things
that
we'd
really
again
like
to
see
is
having
that
setback
to
again
increase
some
of
the
pedestrian
flow
opportunities
in
the
area
for
some
more
streetscape
amenities
and
seating.
You
know
with
every
redevelopment
comes
opportunity,
and
these
are
just
part
of
the
goals
that
we're
trying
to
push
forward
for
the
district,
so
that
with
opportunity
comes
increased
assets
within
the
district
for
those
that
come
to
enjoy
the
space.
I
I
I
think
it's
really
important
for
our
district
that
we
really
push
to
have
retail
settings
on
that
first
level,
street
level
of
the
buildings
within
the
district,
and
it
is
our
sincere
hope
that
we
can
actually
have
two
retail
spaces
in
that
area
so
that
we
can
continue
to
attract
you
know
dynamic
retail
into
the
district
and
continue
to
serve
the
50s
and
france
patrons
as
they
come
to
the
district.
I
One
of
the
additions
to
that
part
is
that,
as
we
look
at
the
renderings,
it
looks
like
the
parking
plan
of
includes
two
levels-
one
of
course
for
the
resident
and
then,
of
course,
the
other
for
the
designated
storefront
business.
What
we're
hoping
is
that
you
know
we
can
revisit
that
configuration
because
now
it
looks
as
if
the
configuration
only
really
supports
that
first
floor
office
or
business
type
use
and
not
really
conducive
for
retail
walkable
district,
that
we're
trying
to
create
and
continue
to
promote
within
the
district.
I
We'd
really
recommend
reconfiguring
the
stairwell
as
as
well
to
allow
for
a
division
of
the
spaces
again
to
have
maybe
two
retail
uses.
We
would
like
the
developer
to
continue
access
through
the
building
to
the
ewing
parking
lot
and,
as
you
all
may
recall,
that
land
was
originally
owned
by
the
district
donated
the
city
and
now
serves
to
serve
as
a
parking
lot
to
the
employees
who
are
working
within
the
district.
So
we'd
like
to
see
some
better
movement,
if
possible,
through
the
building
to
france
avenue
for
consumers
that
will
be
traversing.
The.
I
We'll
do
mr
chair,
thank
you
again
you.
You
can
continue
to
read
the
comments.
We've
submitted
again,
hoping
that
we'll
get
at
least
two
retail
spaces
within
that
first
level,
and
then
just
generally
hoping
that
you
know
access
to
and
from
the
development
in
the
alley
behind
is
really
taken
into
account,
especially
at
the
intersection
where
it
hits
50th
avenue.
We
have
some
concerns
there
about
safety
and
with
that
I'll
leave
it
up
to
you
again.
We
really
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
provide
our
comments.
I
You've
invited
the
developer
and
he's
agreed
to
come
speak
with
us
in
september
at
the
board
level,
and
appreciate
your
time
today
to
consider
these
suggestions.
C
C
All
right
not
seeing
any
with
no
additional
speakers,
I
will
close
the
hearing
and
I
will
see
if
my
colleagues
have
any
questions
or
comments.
E
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison,
on
that
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
on
council
member
ellison's
motion
to
deny
the
appeal
before
us.
So
clerk
can
call
the
role.
