This

Thank

Thank.
C
You
ms
harvey
for
your
report

I'll
see
if
there
are
any

on

seeing
none.
Thank
you
for
your
report,
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
one.
There
are
three
people
signed
up
to
speak.
We'll
start
with
the
first,
which
is
dana
thompson,
will
then
follow
by
the
second
pete,
dig
gronn
and
number
three
jerry
ewald.
So
if
dana
thompson
is
on
the
call,
please
press
star
six
to
unmute.
I
And
my
name
is
sean
sherman.
I
also
the
other
owner
of
the
sous
chef
and
we're
just
here
to
just
explain
our
intentions
really
quickly.
Briefly,.
I
Yeah,
so
we've
been
working
on
this
project
for
quite
a
long
time.
We
won
the
rfp
for
proposal
to
be
the
vendor
in
that
space.
Back
in
2016.,
we
are
really
focused
on
healthy
indigenous
foods
and
bringing
kind
of
a
modern
sense
of
indigenous
foods
into
minneapolis.
I
We
truly
believe
that
there
should
be
native
american
foods
in
every
city
and
we
couldn't
have
picked
a
better
space
to
be
on
such
a
sacred
spot
site
of
the
for
the
dakota
people
that
are
originally
from
here.
So
our
intention
with
the
beer
and
wine
was
just
to
have
offerings
for
people
who
chose
to
have
that.
But
our
main
feature,
of
course,
is
the
food.
I
The
the
licensing
has
the
boilerplate
information
about
the
amplified
sounds,
but
we
were
no
intention
of
being
able
to
have
any
kind
of
music
outside
and
we
were
even
planning
on
shutting
down
the
restaurant
last
call
at
9
00
p.m.
To
make
sure
that
everybody
is
out
of
that
space,
especially
outdoors
no
later
than
10
p.m
at
the
very
latest,
and
so
we
just
really
wanted
to
be
very
respectful
of
all
the
neighbors.
J
I
Never
towards
the
evening,
so
we
just
really
are
hoping
that
people
can
obviously
reach
out
directly
to
us,
but
we're
just
really
looking
forward
to
doing
a
very
different
style
of
restaurant
and
you
know
well,
like
I
said
we
have
no
intention
of
having
music
outdoors.
We
have
sound
system
inside
and
it's
a
really
beautiful
space,
and
we
just
really
want
people
to
appreciate
the
natural
beauty
of
that
very
sacred
space.
H
And
you
know
I
just
want
to
underscore
what
sean
said.
This
is
dana
again,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
the
the
real
spirit
of
this
restaurant
is
really
more
about
health
and
education
than
anything
else.
Bringing
back
the
cultural
relevance
of
indigenous
people
is
really
is
really
why
we're
there.
So
we
would
love
to
open
up
to
any
questions
if
anyone
had
any
for
us,
we.
C
C
C
C
M
L
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
I'm
enrique
velasquez
manager
of
licenses
and
consumer
services
presenting
to
you
today
an
application
from
italian
eatery
llc
doing
business
as
I.e.
I.E
is
located
at
4724,
cedar
avenue,
south
in
ward
11,
and
they
request
a
permanent
expansion
of
premises.
L
L
In
addition,
ie
will
add
a
new
private
patio
area
with
seating
for
32
and
will
expand
their
existing
private
patio
by
an
additional
24
seats.
Already
approved
hours
of
operation
are
11,
am
to
midnight
daily
for
both
interior
and
exterior
spaces.
Ie
does
not
intend
on
adjusting
those
hours,
so
current
hours
of
operation
will
remain
unchanged.
L
On
may,
18,
2021
99
public
hearing
notices
were
sent
to
property
owners
within
600
feet
of
the
premises.
Notices
were
also
sent
to
the
field,
regina
northrup
neighborhood
group
and
to
council
member
schrader.
We
have
received
one
response
from
the
public
opposing
the
proposed
expansion
due
to
two
factors.
First,
existing
traffic
congestion
in
the
neighborhood
expanding
will
only
add
to
the
congestion,
that's
already
there
and
potentially
contribute
to
an
unsafe
environment
just
from
traffic
and.
L
Passengers
and
vehicle
traffic-
the
second
concern
raised
is
with
just
the
overall
approval
process,
saying
that
construction
has
already
begun
for
the
build
out
of
these
new
spaces
in
advance
of
receiving
license
approval
from
city
council.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
comment
for
anyone.
That's
watching
that
it
should
be
noted
that
buildings
and
expanding
into
new
spaces
is
not
a
sign
of
tacit
license
approval
city
council
approval
is
still
required
before
these
spaces
can
be
utilized
and
licensed
in
a
way
that
the
applicant
intends.
So
it's
there.
L
L
A
review
of
3-1-1
calls
and
police
calls
for
service
found
no
significant
issues
that
can
be
attributed
to
this
business
licenses
and
consumer
services
recommends
approval
of
a
permanent
expansion
of
premises
for
italian
eatery
llc.
This
concludes
my
presentation
and
I
will
stand
for
any
comments
or
questions.
C
C
N
J
N
We've
been
in
the
city
here
in
the
neighborhood
for
about
five
years,
and
the
main
reason
we
are
looking
to
expand
is
just
provide
a
safer
space
for
people
to
operate
and
come
visit
us
and
have
a
more
convenient
options
for
our
neighborhood.
During
the
last
year.
In
the
pandemic
we
known
or
were
able
to
visibly
see
the
increase
in
our
operations
and
how
the
consumers
wanted
to
come
in
and
get
stuff,
and
this
will
just
allow
us
to
alleviate
the
flow
of
the
neighborhood,
our
space
and
the
property.
N
We
don't
really.
We
didn't
intend
to.
We
expand
our
indoor
seating,
we
haven't,
we
actually
reduced
it
for
this
to
help
make
flow
again
better.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
really
excited
to
go
for
approval
of
this
item.
Italian
east
breeze
been
a
fantastic
business
in
the
in
the
area.
This
the
air,
the
permanent
expansion
they're
talking
about
they've,
had
in
a
temporary
for
quite
some
time
over
the
summer.
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea
to
just
move
forward
and
make
this
permanent.
C
M
E
C
That
item
has
been
approved,
we'll
now
move
on
to
item
number
three,
which
is
the
historic
use,
variance,
ordinance
and
I'll
call
on
miss
burke
to
give
that
presentation.
O
O
This
text
amendment
was
introduced
by
council
member
lisa
goodman
aboard
7
as
an
incentive
to
property
owners
with
designated
historic
landmarks
to
allow
flexibility
to
recent
standards
added
to
title
12
of
the
city's
housing
code
and
licensing.
The
amendment
adds
an
administrative
waiver
profits
for
designated
landmarks
that
include
dwellings
with
short-term
rental
notes.
O
Currently,
the
only
other
incentive
available
to
designated
properties
in
minneapolis
is
the
historic
variants
which
allows
the
departure
of
the
literal
requirements
from
the
zoning
code.
If
found
to
further
the
preservation
of
the
property
waivers
will
only
be
permitted
relative
to
the
requirements
applicable
to
short-term
dwelling
units
under
title
12,
section,
244,
point
1845
and
will
not
be
permitted
for
any
life
safety
requirements
or
occupancy
requirements
for
short-term
dwelling
units
to
prevent
large
number
of
units
being
used
for
short-term
rental
and
historic
properties.
O
O
C
Are
there
any
questions
for
miss
burke
on
item
number
three,
seeing
none
will
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number.
Three.
I've
been
noted
by
the
clerk
that
there
are
no
speakers
but
we'll
see
if
there's
anyone
signed
in
who
has
asked
to
speak,
seeing
none,
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
approval.
C
This
is
something
that
I
have
brought
forward
as
a
result
of
trying
to
create
an
incentive
for
people
to
preserve
historic
buildings
rather
than
demolish
them.
Several
historic
buildings,
particularly
in
downtown,
have
been
rehabbed
and
we
don't
have
any
financial
incentive.
We
have
a
zoning
incentive,
but
the
zoning
generally
doesn't
create
a
financial
impact,
making
it
much
more
difficult
to
repurpose
many
historic
properties.
I
want
to
thank
andrea,
burke
and
steve
poor
in
particular,
who
have
helped
work
on
this
for
the
better
part
of
six
months.
C
F
B
C
Eyes
that
item
is
approved
and
council
member
gordon
is
noted
as
being
present.
We'll
then
move
on
to
our
quasi-judicial
public
hearing,
which
is
item
number
four.
This
is
an
appeal
submitted
by
joe
wagner
regarding
the
decision
of
the
planning
commission
to
establish
a
community
residential
facility
with
16
beds
at
3805
40th
street
east,
and
I
will
ask
ms
hollen
to
give
this
report.
P
The
two
applications
that
were
approved
by
the
planning
commission
include
a
conditional
use
permit
to
establish
a
community
residential
facility
for
up
to
16
residents
and
a
variance
to
reduce
the
minimum
lot
area
for
a
community
residential
facility
from
10
000
square
feet
to
9219
square
feet.
Both
applications
were
approved
on
may
18th
by
the
planning
commission
and
have
been
appealed
by
joe
wagner
next
slide.
P
P
The
proposed
project
includes
the
adaptive
reuse
of
an
existing
church
building
at
3805
40th
street
east.
The
proposed
use
is
a
community
residential
facility
under
the
zoning
code.
Touchstone
mental
health
is
the
applicant
and
they
have
proposed
to
provide
intensive
residential
treatment
services
which
provide
time
limited
mental
health
services
in
a
residential
setting.
The
adaptive
reuse
of
the
building
would
require
the
conditional
use
permits
for
the
use
and
then
a
variance
to
the
minimum
lot
area.
P
P
P
The
site
does
not
have
any
off-street
parking
and
none
is
required
both
due
to
non-conforming
rights
that
were
maintained
by
the
church
and
passed
on
to
the
proposed
use,
and
since
the
application
went
to
planning
commission,
the
parking
requirements
for
the
city
have
now
been
updated
and
no
parking
would
be
required
for
this
use
next
slide.
Please.
P
P
Staff
is
recommending
that
the
committee
today
uphold
the
planning
commission's
decision
to
approve
the
conditional
use
permit
and
the
variance
and
uphold
staff
findings.
I
also
wanted
to
note
there
is
a
past
application
that
was
approved
for
this
project.
That
was
an
administrative
application
to
allow
for
a
reduction
in
the
spacing
requirement
for
community
residential
facilities.
P
That
application
was
reasonable
accommodation
and,
as
noted
in
the
background
of
the
staff
report,
that
reduces
the
quarter
mile
spacing
requirement
for
this
use
that
was
approved
back
in
march
was
not
appealed.
So
the
decision
on
the
spacing
is
final.
The
only
decision
in
front
of
the
committee
today
is
the
appeal
on
the
cup
and
the
variance.
C
C
M
So
I
submitted
a
slide
with
this.
Hopefully
it
is
in
front
of
you
right
now,
hello
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
on
this
subject.
There's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
and
concerns
about
this
project
in
the
neighborhood.
People
feel
that
their
voices
have
not
been
heard.
Both
figuratively
and
literally.
M
My
neighbors
wanted
me
specifically
to
speak
on
this
subject
to
the
city
council.
I
do
believe
that
their
concerns
and
my
concerns
align
directly
with
the
requirements
for
the
variants
and
the
conditional
use
permit,
which
I
will
go
over
in
this
presentation
on
slide
number
two.
You
will
see
that
many
people
from
the
neighborhood
oppose
this
variance
and
conditional
use
permit
note
that
there
were
that
we
were
able
to
find
29
individuals
in
the
area
that
object
to
this
plan.
M
I
recognize
that
a
change
of
non-conforming
use
was
not
applied
for.
However,
I
would
like
to
cover
it
because
some
of
the
topics
come
up
later
in
the
variance
and
the
conditional
use
permit
slides
on
slide
number
four.
You
will
see
what
a
change
of
non-conforming
use
is,
according
to
city
code,
note
that
the
switch
from
one
non-conforming
use
to
another
non-conforming
usb
must
demonstrate
that
it
is
less
intense
than
the
previous
use
on
slide.
Five,
you
will
see
a
non-exclusive
list
of
change
of
use,
intensification
factors.
M
According
to
city
code,
I've
highlighted
in
red
the
intensifying
factors
for
this
particular
plan.
Hours
of
operation,
traffic
generation,
offstreet
parking
and
loading
nature
as
a
business
operations
number
of
employees
on
slide
number
six.
You
will
see
the
non-conforming
attributes
for
both
uses,
since
I
don't
have
access
to
variancy,
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
an
existing
setback
variants
on
this
property,
but
I
have
included
it
here
on
the
slides
anyway,.
M
On
slide
number
seven,
you
will
see
a
list
of
additional
intensifying
factors
for
this
property:
an
increase
in
beds,
increase
in
offices,
increasing
employees,
kitchens
bathrooms
laundry
and,
of
course,
hours
of
operation.
M
So
now,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
variance
on
slide.
8
you'll
see
what
the
purpose
of
a
variance
is.
According
to
the
city
code,
note
that
variances
are
for
conditions
or
circumstances
unique
to
an
individual
property.
Also
note
that
minnesota
state
law
uses
the
same
language
when
describing
the
purpose
of
a
variance
on
slide
nine.
You
will
see
the
required
findings
for
granting
a
variance
I'd
like
to
focus
your
attention
on
the
first
finding
note
that,
again,
the
circumstances
must
be
unique
to
the
property.
M
M
M
M
On
slide
12,
we
see
the
justification
given
in
the
land
use
application.
Summary
notice
that,
in
the
justification
they're
trying
to
equate
the
church
lot
area
requirements
with
the
requirements
for
a
community
residential
facility,
this
is
an
incorrect
reference
to
change
of
use
for
non-conforming
structures
which
we
saw
earlier.
This
is
not
a
valid
justification
for
a
variance.
M
M
M
All
of
these
minneapolis
churches
are
in
the
r1a
zone
below
10
000
square
feet
and
have
the
same
lot
area
circumstances
as
the
subject:
property
on
flight
15.
You'll
see
the
proposed
interior
of
the
building
I'll
admit
the
internals
of
the
building
looks
like
it
can
work
as
a
community
residential
facility.
M
On
side
16,
you
will
see
again
the
required
findings
for
variance
this
time.
Please
note
number
two
that
it's
that
the
youth
should
be
in
keeping
with
the
spirit
and
intent
of
the
ordinance
on
slide.
17
you'll
see
what
the
purpose
of
lot
controls
are.
According
to
minneapolis
code,
please
note
that
the
purpose
is
to
provide
adequate
light.
Air
open
space
and
separation
of
uses.
M
On
slide,
18
you'll
see
a
diagram
of
the
external
area
of
the
subject.
Building
I've
highlighted
the
outdoor
patio
area
in
blue
and
the
path
to
access
it
in
red
notice
that
the
16
residents
plus
staff
for
six
offices
will
need
to
pass
out
of
the
property
and
onto
the
public
sidewalk
when
navigating
between
the
private
outdoor
space
and
the
private
building.
M
At
the
use
of
the
church,
this
people
would
only
be
crossing
into
the
sidewalk
and
the
public
walkway
whenever
they're
entering
or
leaving
the
with
church
new
use
for
the
community
residential
facility.
The
use
area
is
kind
of
extending
past
the
transition
area
and
into
the
public
sidewalk.
M
This
is
not
in
the
spirit
of
separation
of
uses
on
slide
19.
You
can
see
that
the
outdoor
area
is
roughly
the
size
of
one
or
two
of
their
offices.
The
outdoor
area
is
300
square
feet
and
is
smaller
than
a
single
car
garage
as
a
church.
There
is
no
need
for
outer
space,
but
as
a
community
residential
facility,
there
is
inadequate
outdoor
space
for
the
16
residents
plus
staff
for
six
offices.
M
A
typical
home
in
this
area
has
a
yard
where
people
can
roam
under
this
new
use,
with
16
residents
plus
staff
for
six
offices,
there's
very
little
outdoor
space
for
them.
Note
that
the
amount
of
square
footage
being
reduced
by
this
variance
would
be
three
times
the
area
of
this
outdoor
space
shown
on
the
right.
So
imagine
this
gray
area
on
the
right
being
three
times
larger,
and
that
is
the
amount
of
space.
M
This
is
not
in
the
spirit
of
the
lot
area
ordinance
to
provide
adequate
light,
air
open
space
and
separation
of
uses
on
site
20.
You
can
see
the
requirements
for
a
conditional
use
product.
I've
highlighted
the
parking
and
traffic
requirements
in
red
note
that
adequate
measures
must
be
have
taken
to
minimize
traffic
congestion
on
the
public
streets.
M
Also
note
that
churches
in
minneapolis
do
not
require
a
conditional
use
permit
on
slide
21.
You
can
see
that
the
subject
property
has
no
off
street
parking.
This
means
all
of
the
parking
will
be
on
street.
The
only
measures
taken
has
been
to
include
a
bike
rack
in
the
plan
which
you
can
see
highlighted
in
blue
here
now.
M
I
understand
that
this
property
has
non-conforming
rights
to
many
off-street
parking
spots
and
that,
according
to
table
541-1,
that
a
community
residential
facility
requires
less,
but
in
these
circumstances
we
believe
there
will
be
more
traffic
and
parking
related
issues
than
with
its
previous
use,
as
we
saw
on
the
previous
slide
about
non-conforming
change
of
use.
This
plan
would
be
significantly
intensifying
this
property
in
general
on
slide
22.
You
can
see
some
of
the
factors
in
this
case
that
will
be
contributing
to
parking
related
issues.
M
Realistically,
since
there's
a
significant
portion
of
the
building
is
dedicated
to
office
space,
there
may
be
more
vehicles
in
the
street
than
would
be
for
a
community
residential
facility
alone.
It
is
not
likely
for
staff
to
utilize,
transit
or
bike,
since
they
may
be
moving
between
other
facilities
outside
of
minneapolis.
M
It
is
likely
that
staff
and
providers
will
need
to
move
between
these
locations
and
the
minneapolis
location,
making
it
unlikely
that
they
will
use
transit
or
bike.
We
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
we
are
in
a
low
density
area
and
not
in
a
transit
corridor.
Pedestrian
oriented
overlay
zone
parking
related
issues
can
be
exacerbated
by
snow
emergencies
and
street
sweeping
where
half
of
the
state
parking
is
unavailable.
In
extreme
cases,
the
city
may
forbid
parking
on
one
side
of
the
street
for
the
rest
of
the
snow
season.
M
M
This
variance
would
not
be
in
the
spirit
of
the
ordinance
of
providing
adequate
light,
air
open
space
and
separation
of
uses.
We
saw
this
with
the
small
outdoor
area
and
the
need
to
cross
out
and
back
into
the
property
to
access
it,
adding
an
additional
area
adding
an
additional
office
area
to
the
property.
M
M
I
would
like
to
emphasize
that
I
have
no
doubt
that
at
their
current
minneapolis
locations
in
seward
that
all
is
working
well
for
everybody
at
their
current
community
residential
facility.
They
have
plenty
of
off-street
parking
with
a
front
and
backyard
and
they
meet
all
of
the
locked
area
requirements.
M
C
Well,
mr
wagner,
this
isn't
to
back
and
forth
we.
You
are
entitled
to
present
your
testimony
and
you
have
and
we
appreciate
it
and
I'll
see
if
there's
anyone
on
the
call
who
would
like
to
ask
a
question,
but
as
a
process
we
normally
don't
do
that.
I'm.
C
D
J
Good
afternoon
this
is
ellie
skelton,
I'm
the
executive
director
at
touchstone
mental
health
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
advocate
today.
A
touchstone
has
was
started
in
1982
by
social
workers
at
the
university
of
minnesota,
to
provide
adults
with
mental
illness
options
for
community
integration
and
supportive
environments.
J
Often,
barriers
to
community
based
housing
and
treatment
services
for
people
with
serious
mental
illness
is
negative
public
attitude
towards
people
with
mental
illness,
often
due
to
stigma.
We
have
seen
time
and
time
again
once
we
are
settled
in
a
new
neighborhood.
Our
neighbors
attitudes
about
willingness
to
live
near
someone
with
mental
illness
improves.
J
We've
had
many
support
letters
from
people
in
the
neighborhood
and
our
current
neighbors
we've
been
in
our
sewage
location
for
almost
30
years.
We
are
moving
because
the
current
building
isn't
accessible
residents,
don't
have
individual
bedrooms
and
they
don't
have
adequate
space
for
the
staff.
Just
a
point
of
clarification,
the
only
staff
that
will
be
residing
at
this
program
are
the
staff
that
work
there.
The
group
and
rooms
are
for
staff
to
meet
with
clients
and
have
enough
room
to
meet
and
move
around.
J
While
many
of
our
staff
do
bike,
I
currently
bike
to
work.
If
I
ever
visited,
I
would
be
on
bike
and
when
I've
been
there,
there
have
been
ample
street
parking.
We
work
hard
to
be
good,
neighbors,
add
value
to
the
community,
reduce
stigma
associated
with
mental
illness
and
advocate
that
individuals
with
mental
illness
are
not
discriminated
against.
J
We
have
been
looking
for
almost
two
years
to
locate
a
residentially
zoned
property
and
it
has
been
difficult
to
find
space
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
we're
excited
when
we
found
this
church
building
for
sale,
because
it
can
be
remodeled
to
have
16
single
rooms
and
there
is
an
existing
elevator.
The
building
is
not
occupied,
so
no
one
will
be
displaced.
The
building
has
a
lot
of
natural
light
and
it
will
be
a
significant
upgrade
to
our
current
facility.
J
J
C
C
I
see
that
there
are
two
people,
I'm
I
if
you
could
wait
I'll
I'll
call
on
you
by
name.
There
are
two
people
who
are
signed
up
to
speak
sam
smith
and
william
schreier
will
start
with
mr
smith.
Q
Dear
members
of
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee,
my
name
is
sam
smith
and
I'm
a
minneapolis
resident
from
ward
11
and
the
public
policy
coordinator
for
the
minnesota
chapter
of
the
national
alliance
on
mental
illness.
We
are
a
non-profit
organization
that
provides
education,
support
and
advocacy
for
people
with
mental
illnesses
and
their
families.
I'm
here
today,
on
behalf
of
nami
minnesota,
to
speak
in
support
of
offering
a
conditional
use
permit
for
a
residential
mental
health
facility
operated
by
touchstone
mental
health.
Q
The
planning
commission
unanimously
approved
this
proposal
and
I
trust
the
council
will
recognize
the
strong
support
and
urgent
need
for
this
program.
Minnesota's
mental
health
system
is
still
being
built
and
there
is
significant
need
to
expand
access
to
community-based
mental
health
services.
The
lack
of
adequate
mental
health
services
leads
people
of
mental
illnesses,
to
expensive
treatment
in
an
emergency
room
or
hospital
into
homelessness
or
into
the
criminal
justice
system
after
29
years,
as
a
good
neighbor
at
their
location
in
seward.
Q
Touchstone
must
move
to
this
new
location
to
ensure
that
each
resident
has
their
own
room
and
touched
on
staff
of
adequate
space,
allowing
touchstone
to
relocate
their
intensive
residential
treatment
services
facility
will
ensure
that
people
with
mental
illnesses
will
continue
to
have
access
to
this
life-changing
mental
health
services
as
they
get
back
on
their
feet.
One
in
five
people
live
with
mental
illnesses,
they're
our
friends,
neighbors
and
co-workers
at
nami
minnesota.
We
hear
too
many
stories
about
people
not
being
able
to
access
the
mental
health
care
they
need
in
the
community
where
they
live.
Q
C
R
R
R
You
know
that's
a
big
change
in
the
use
for
a
quiet,
neighborhood
of
mostly
single-family
and
rental
property,
and
many
residents
have
opposed
this
plan.
This
was
on
short
notice.
There
was
very
poor
notification,
and
yet
people
were
interested
in
this.
They
looked
at
it,
and
many
residents
have
opposed
the
plan
as
far
as
the
outdoor
space
and
privacy
issues
300
square
feet
outside
is
just
an
impossibly
small
area
and
as
far
as
the
increased
use
of
city
services,
311
911
traffic
density
deliveries.
R
C
F
My
my
connection
is
a
little
slow
sorry
about
that.
I
don't
really
have
a
question.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
and
also
to
move
the
staff
recommendation.
I
really
appreciate
the
concerns.
I
think
people
really
looked
into
this
and
analyzed
it
very
very
carefully.
F
I
happen
to
live
about
five
or
six
blocks
away
from
the
current
touchstone
facility
in
seward.
It
is
something
that's
hardly
noticed
by
anybody
and
when
it
is
noticed,
it's
usually
for
being
such
a
great
place
and
that
there
aren't
any
problems
and
because
there
is
street
parking
there
as
well,
and
I
actually
I'm
sorry
to
see
them
leaving
and
I'm
sorry
to
see
that
that
building
and
facility
didn't
work
out
for
them.
F
So
I
just
thought:
I'd
put
that
out
there
so
folks
who
are
worried
about
it
might
think
about
how
they
might
be
surprised
a
couple
years
from
now.
I'm
realizing
that
this
maybe
was
a
really
great
reuse
of
this
building
and
puts
it
back
in
circulation,
should
really
meet
a
significant
need
for
having
us.
C
R
E
C
That
item
is
approved.
Thank
you
for
everyone
who
took
the
time
to
testify
today
with
that
we'll
move
on
to
our
discussion

since

of
this
project,
which
is
what
we
would
be
considering
here,
involves
the
purchase
of
and
minor
repairs
to,
the
multi-tenant
property.
That's
currently
leased
by
several
north
minneapolis
tenants,
including
appetite
for
change
caring
hands
and
try
construction
phase.
B
This
total
project
phase
one
is
1.5
million
dollars
with
primary
financing
provided
by
sunrise
banks,
as
well
as
the
local
initiative,
support
corporation
or
lisc
pre-development
grant
program
for
this
project.
We'd
very
much
like
to
thank
ms
mcknight
ahad
for
her
tireless
work
in
the
community
and
for
her
outstanding
efforts
in
purchasing
this
building.
B
We'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
the
ackerberg
properties,
company
and
stuart
ackerberg,
and
his
team
for
working
closely
with
miss
mcknight
ahad
to
find
her
as
a
local
buyer
for
the
building
with
concerns
about
and
maintaining
the
same
philosophy
of
benefiting
the
community
and
lastly,
on
this
project.
I'd
like
to
thank
my
team
member
becky
shaw
for
her
hard
work
on
this
project.
B
So
in
summary,
madam
chair,
these
four
projects
very
well
represent
the
value
and
the
potential
of
the
commercial
property
development
fund.
We're
very
pleased
today
to
be
recommending
to
you
for
approval
projects
in
wards
five,
six,
eight
and
nine,
with
your
approval
of
these
loans.
In
all
four
cases,
we
have
local
business
owners
that
are
now
able
to
own
the
real
estate
that
they
do
business
in
and
they're
poised
to
contribute
to
their
respective
communities
for
years
to
come.
C
Thank
you
so
much
jim
for
your
incredible
report
and,
most
importantly,
to
every
one
of
the
incredible
staff
people
at
cpad
business
finance,
who
have
done
a
lot
of
work
in
partnership
with
some
creative
and
well-known
entrepreneurs
in
our
community.
We
are
thrilled,
I
am
sure
council
member
ellison
would
like
to
speak
to
this
and
make
a
motion.
C
I
do
want
to
tell
you
jim
that
we
never
thought
in
our
wildest
dreams.
This
would
be
as
successful
as
it
was
it's
because
of
your
background
in
development,
finance
and
banking
understanding,
the
north
side
and
the
south
side,
and
also
just
working
with
some
incredible
people
in
your
division
who
are
so
passionate
about
the
work.
You
have
a
great
team
and
we're
just
really
really
proud
of
you
and
what
you're
doing
for
so
many
important
people
in
our
community
and
I'll.
Just
turn
this
over
to
council
member
ellison,
followed
by
council
member.
K
Gordon
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
jim.
This
is
incredible
work.
I
I
just
echo
the
the
sentiments
of
the
chair.
You
know
when
I
first
got
into
office.
One
of
the
things
I
had
really
heard
from
businesses
in
my
ward-
and
I
know
that
north
minneapolis
is
not
unique
in
this
way-
is
that
access
to
capital
is
the
number
one
reason
that
people
cannot
utilize
and
build
wealth
through
commercial
space
in
in
our
communities
and
so
to
create
this
fund.
K
I
think
it's
only
in
its
second
year
of
existence
and
we
are
seeing
this
result.
You
know
the
entire
purpose
was
to
see
businesses
owning
the
buildings
that
they
operate
out
of
and
with
these
four
examples,
that's
exactly
what
we're
seeing,
and
so
I'm
just
grateful
to
you.
K
I'm
grateful
to
your
team
for
for
executing
the
purpose
of
this
fund,
so
so
perfectly,
and
and
also
just
thankful
to
these
businesses
who,
without
them,
without
their
vision,
without
their
relentless
pursuit
of
site
control
and
and
creating
these
assets,
we
wouldn't
have
anyone
to
give
funding
to,
and
so
I
I
wanna,
I
really
wanna
thank
those
businesses
and
just
hold
them
up
and-
and
I
know
that
we
have
so
much
more
than
just
these
four
and
so
we're
just
gonna,
keep
working
on
getting
this
money
out
the
door,
and
I
would
like
to
move
approval
of
this
recommendation.
C
F
C
So
the
only
other
thing
I
want
to
say
about
this
is
the
cped
staff
have
recommended
that
the
mayor
recommend
reinforcing
this
fund
with
the
federal
funding
that
we
will
see
in
committee
tomorrow.
I
believe
the
request
is
for
10
million
dollars
to
really
be
able
to
serve
as
much
of
the
need
as
we
can,
and
I
know
this
will
be
discussed
tomorrow-
I'm
really
glad
to
see
a
bunch
of
this
money
out
the
door
and
look
forward
to
repopulating
this
fund
so
that
we
can
more
aggressively
continue.
