We
have
just
one
discussion
item
on
our
agenda
this
evening.
5009
beard
avenue
south
the
staff
is
peter
crandall.
G
Good
evening,
commissioners,
peter
crandall
senior
planner
with
cped
land
use
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
here
and
speak
primarily
from
the
materials
that
were
a
part
of
the
cow
package.
I
know
that
the
applicant
is
also
here
this
evening
and
may
have
some
updated
information,
but
we'll
start
here
so
the
project
before
you
is
located
at
5009.
G
50Th
street
west
or
sorry
beard
avenue
south
at
the
intersection
of
50th
street
west.
The
site,
as
you
can
see
here,
is
about
nine
blocks
outside
of
the
50th
and
france.
Commercial
district
50th
street
west
in
this
location
is
a
goods
and
services
corridor
in
the
2040
comprehensive
plan.
G
G
There
is
an
associated
day
care
use
currently
in
the
church
building
as
well
as
far
as
land
use.
Guidance
goes
on
the
site
in
2040,
the
site
is
guided
for
urban
neighborhood
and
the
corridor
for
built
form
overlay
district
and
again
highlighting
that
50th
street
is
a
goods
and
services
corridor.
In
this
location,
the
applicant
has
kind
of
pointed
out
some
of
the
existing
land
uses
on
the
site
and
then
the
existing
transit
service
on
50th
street,
and
then
these
are
some
images
of
the
surrounding
context.
G
There's
a
kind
of
a
predominance
of
single
and
two
family
homes.
In
the
neighborhood
immediately
to
the
south
of
the
site
and
then
some
associated
small
scale,
residential
serving
commercial
uses
along
50th
street
west,
the
closest
kind
of
medium
to
larger
scale
use
to
the
site
would
be
this
assisted
living
facility.
That's
located
immediately
across
50th
street,
which
is
a
four-story
structure
and
then
a
survey
showing
the
location
of
that
existing
church
and
existing
surface
parking
lot
on
the
site.
G
G
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
locate
the
commercial
use
at
the
corner
of
the
alley,
intersection
and
50th
street
west
fronting
along
that
goods
and
services
corridor
and
then
concentrating
residential
amenity
space
on
principal
entrance
for
the
proposed
residential
use
at
the
corner,
with
some
walk-up
residential
uses.
Fronting
along
beard
avenue
south
I'll
point
out
here
that,
because
the
property
is
residentially
zoned,
it
is
subject
to
setback
requirements
of
the
corridor.
G
4
district,
in
this
case
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
comply
with
those
setbacks
along
the
two
public
right-of-way
facing
elevations,
so
at
50th
street
west
the
require
and
setback
would
be
12
feet
per
the
zoning
ordinance
and
because
the
lot
is
a
reverse
corner.
Given
that
there's
a
front
yard
here,
it's
established
to
whatever
the
setback
of
that
house
is,
and
as
far
as
I
can
tell
from
what's
been
submitted,
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
respect
that
established
front
yard
I'll.
G
Let
them
confirm
that
and
then
along
beard
avenue
south
there
is
another
associated
established
setback
to
20
feet
for
the
adjacent
property
to
the
south.
So
the
applicant
is
complying
with
those
two
yard
requirements.
G
They
are
proposing
one
level
of
below
grade
parking
which
should
be
accessed
via
the
alleyway
here
at
the
south
end
of
the
site
and
then
some
at-grade
enclosed
parking
as
well,
for
what
I
believe
is
a
total
of
65
spaces,
yeah
65,
enclosed
parking
spaces.
Then
again
it's
a
61
unit
building.
G
So
that's
that
one
level
of
below
grade
parking
and
then
you
can
see
via
the
floor
plans
of
the
upper
stories
that
the
building
does
step
back
a
little
bit
from
that
five
foot.
Setback
at
the
grade
level,
particularly
at
the
south
end
of
the
proposed
building
here,
so
that
the
upper
levels
facing
the
rear
are
further.
E
G
G
And
then
some
elevations
of
the
proposed
design-
and
I
think
there
may
be
updates
from
on
these
from
the
applicants
team,
but
primary
exterior
materials
would
be
brick
metal
panel.
G
And
then
you
can
see
two
things
that
were
pointed
out
in
the
memo
pertaining
to
the
at
great
enclosed
parking
along
the
rear
and
along
the
south
were
some
blank
walls
that
wouldn't
comply
with
site
plan
review
standards.
So
I
think
the
applicant's
going
to
address
that
and
then
along
the
beard
avenue
south
facing
elevation.
G
You
can
see
these
walk-up
units
here
and
this
kind
of
illustrates
that
there
is
an
associated
grade
change
as
you
move
away
from
50th
street
west,
so
those
units
start
to
have
kind
of
a
retaining
wall
along
that
front
elevation
and
then
along
the
south
side
yard
as
well,
and
then
a
section
kind
of
showing
that
setback
of
the
upper
fifth
floor
and
the
garage
as
well
garage
access,
some
additional
images
showing
the
elevations
of
the
proposed
structure
and
that's
kind
of
a
basic
summary
of
the
project.
G
As
outlined
in
the
cow
memo,
the
applications
required
would
be
a
rezoning
from
r1a
and
r2b.
There's
two
different
residential
zoning
districts
on
the
site
to
or2
that
would
be
required
to
establish
the
proposed
commercial
use
on
the
site.
It
doesn't
really
pertain
to
the
size
of
the
building
because
that's
governed
by
the
built
form
overlay
the
corridor.
Four
district-
that's
in
place
today,
so
that
would
enable
the
applicant
to
implement
that
commercial
use
along
50th
street
west
and
then
a
variance
to
reduce
the
minimum
yard
setback.
G
And
then
they
would
be
applying
for
administrative
increases
to
the
height
to
go
from
four
stories:
56
feet
to
five
stories,
58
feet
and
then
an
administrative,
far
increase
from
2
to
2.8
and
I'll.
Let
the
applicant
touch
on
which
premiums
they
intend
to
apply
for
to
achieve
those,
but
I
believe
it
would
be
enclosed
parking
and
the
affordable
housing.
G
G
So
they
would
get
a
bonus
for
locating
subsidized,
affordable
units
on
site,
there's
a
number
of
different
options
for
implementing
the
iz
ordinance,
including
in
lieu
payment,
so
paying
a
fee
rather
than
implementing
actual
units
producing
units
off
site,
and
so
that
is
an
incentive
to
get
projects
to
implement
affordable
units
where
they
are
building
a
project
incorporating
them
within
the
mix
of
other
units
on
site.
So
that's
the
that's.
The
premium.
D
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
presentation.
Peter
my
name
is
ben
pettachick
and
I'm
going
to
present
on
behalf
of
djr
the
architect
for
this
project
and
I'll
share.
My
screen.
D
First,
I
wanted
to
answer
a
few
of
the
items
peter
brought
up.
He
had
mentioned
the
that
the
plans
looked
like.
We
were
following
the
established
setbacks
on
50th
and
beard
and
that's
correct.
We
are
intending
to
follow
those
established
setbacks
as
they
were
shown
on
the
plans.
D
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
approach
to
the
design
of
the
building,
starting
with
some
precedent,
images
of
brick
detail
both
in
historic
minneapolis
buildings
and
also
some
buildings
that
have
reinterpreted
historic,
brick
detail
in
their
design,
and
this
is
something
we
wanted
to
implement,
especially
on
the
50th
side,
where
we'd
have
commercial
use,
to
kind
of
invoke
that
feel
of
a
historic
minneapolis,
brick
storefront.
D
And
this
is
something
that
wasn't
included
in
our
original
package,
but
we're
starting
to
show
some
of
that
detail
along
50th
and
then
wrapping
the
corner
around
beard,
mainly
in
the
the
front
portion
of
this
building,
to
add
some
interest
above
and
along
that
commercial
storefront
and
some
of
the
amenities
spaces
in
the
northwest
corner
of
the
site.
D
Our
approach
on
beard
avenue
was
to
relate
the
building
more
to
the
neighborhood
context,
with
these
walkout
units
and
having
some
taller
bay
windows
above
those
which
creates
an
alcove
at
the
main
entry
of
the
residential
lobby,
but
also
at
each
of
the
walkout
units
and
I'll
skip
ahead
to
one
of
our
images
that
I
think,
shows
that
a
little
bit
more
in
detail.
D
I
do
want
to
address
the
the
blank
facades
our
plan
for
that
is
to
include
windows
along
the
garage
so
that
we
we
don't
have
any
spans
larger
than
25
feet
along
that
so
we've
since
our
original
package,
we've
added
windows
at
that
first
story
and
also
are
proposing
some
canopies
above
the
garage
doors
to
give
some
articulation
along
each
of
those
sides.
D
I
do
want
to
talk
a
bit
about
the
variants
we're
asking
for
on
the
east
side,
so
the
portion
of
the
building
that
rises
to
five
stories
is
10
feet
back
from
the
property
line
at
the
alley
on
the
east
side,
and
so
the
only
portion
that
would
be
within
the
nine
feet
would
be
the
one
story
portion
of
the
garage
in
that
area,
which
would
only
be
one
level
and
some
of
the
difficulties
on
site
we've
identified
and
and
reasoning
for
having
this
asking
for.
D
This
variance
is
because
of
the
grade.
Change
on
the
site
varies
about
seven
feet
from
the
north
side
of
the
site
to
the
south
side
of
the
site.
So
in
order
to
make
those
entrances
work
along
the
alley
to,
I
can
show
that
elevation
in
order
to
get
that
it
helps
to
have
that
garage.
D
D
The
premiums
peter
was
correct.
We
identified
enclosed
parking
as
a
premium
for
increased,
far
and
height
and
having
affordable
on
site,
and
if,
if
needed,
a
potential
third
premium
would
be
60
of
the
facade
along
50th
would
be
commercial
use
and
then
finally
peter
talked
about
this
a
little
bit.
But
I
just
want
to
talk
about
our
strategies
for
fitting
into
the
neighborhood
context.
D
We
set
back
the
building
as
much
as
possible,
so
the
the
fifth
story
is
completely
set
back
from
both
street
sides,
so
50th
and
beard
you
can
see
it
up
here,
set
back
with
some
penthouse
patios
up
on
that
level,
we
have
inset
balconies
on
the
50th
side
as
well,
and
then
some
building
variation
that
I
already
talked
about
on
the
beard
side
with
these
large
bay
windows,
there's
additional
setbacks
of
the
building
on
the
upper
story
on
the
east
side
facing
the
alley,
definitely
at
the
garage
where
it's
only
one
story
above
the
enclosed
garage.
D
But
then
again
at
the
fifth
story,
and
then
here
in
this
view
you
can
see
again
that
setback
at
the
fifth
story
and
then
the
setback
above
the
garage.
A
Oh,
I
see
commissioner
wilson
does.
F
Thanks,
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
talk
about
why
you
chose
to
put
the
commercial
space
next
to
the
alley.
Instead
of
on
the
corner.
D
Yeah
so
some
reasons
for
that
are
just
how
the
building
lays
out
with
we
have
you
know
the
residential
facing
beard
avenue,
so
it
made
sense
to
have
the
the
main
entry
to
the
residential
area
on
beard
avenue
and
then
some
of
those
amenities
spaces
prominent
on
the
corner
of
the
building,
and
then
we
you
know
we
did
want
the
commercial
on
50th.
D
I
think
that
would
be
required
and
it
also
allows
access
directly
from
the
commercial
spaces
to
some
designated
parking
spots
in
that
enclosed
parking
area
sheldon
did
you
want
to
add
anything
to
that.
E
I
think
that
that
captures
it
it's
it's
it's
as
much
about
giving
good
visibility
on
on
50th
some
proximity,
just
from
a
functional
standpoint
to
that
parking
and
and
service
that
would
support
the
commercial
space
and
some
visibility
for
the
amenity
areas
and
things,
whereas
if
if
it
would
have
been
reversed,
then
we
would
have
orphaned.
E
You
know
potentially
some
of
those
either
many
spaces
or
we
wouldn't
necessarily
want
residential
spaces
regularly
on
50th.
So
that's
part
of
the
rationale
and-
and
you
know
by
the
by
the
fenestration
and
and
the
makeup
of
the
building,
you
know
you
know
it
does
read
sort
of
continuously
as
a
more
commercial
open,
transparent.
You
know,
treatment
of
that
of
that
base
at
the
pedestrian
level.
So
you
get
that
continuity
as
well.
So.
F
Thanks,
I
guess
overall
I'd
just
say
that
I
like
the
design
I
like
the
materials.
I
think
that
the
variance
and
the
rezoning
are
supportable
and
I
like
the
access
to
the
bike
room
from
the
exterior.
So
I
hope
that
stays
thanks.
C
Thank
you
manager
say
I
just.
I
have
a
request
from
the
council
member
whose
award
this
is
in
lenny
and
it
would
be
great
if
someone
could
reach
out
to
her
to
discuss
this
project
with
her.
So
I
wanted
to
pass
that
on.
I
don't
know
which
one
of
you,
gentlemen,
would
be
the
appropriate
one,
but
right.
E
Yep
that
we
are
planning
to
do
in
conjunction
with
the
development
group
as
well,
so
that
is
that
is
already
already
being
planned.
So
I
appreciate
you
sharing
that
that
request
and
we
plan
to
be
doing
that
and
also
setting
up
some.
You
know
meeting
with
the
neighborhood
as
well,
so.
A
Any
other
questions
or
comments
mentioners,
if
not,
I
have
a
few,
I
can
go
so
see,
none.
I
think,
we'll
go
ahead.
I
really
like
that.
You
guys
added
some
visual
interest
that
kind
of
kind
of
that
herald
like
that
older
feel
with
that
brick
that
you
guys
are
doing
there.
I
think
we've
been
asking
so
many
times
from
developers
to
be
adding
some
interesting
visual
interests.
We've
seen
this
building
a
million
times
right
now
in
minneapolis,
so
I
really
do
appreciate
that
kind
of
added
effort
to
do
that.
A
I
think
we're
seeing
some
really
interesting
things
happen
on
this
50th
in
france.
Corridor
with
you
know,
stepping
things
that
other
developers
are
doing
in
this
in
architecture.
Doing
in
this
area,
which
is
kind
of
making
this
have
a
very
unique
footprint.
I
think,
even
if
you
know
I
don't
know,
if
you're
looking
for,
could
step
back
to
a
degree
to
kind
of
add
to
that,
I'm
not
sure
if
you've
seen
what
snow
cry
like
did
or
some
of
the
other
developers
kind
of
that
are
building
right
around
here.
A
Just
to
kind
of
I
don't
know,
there's
a
new
like
a
vibe,
that's
happening
that
we've
been
seeing
that
I
feel
like
this
project
is
a
little
bit
different
from,
and
you
know
same-ness
type
way
that
I
don't
know
just
something
to
think
about.
I
also
wonder
if
there's
any
way
to
use
some
of
those
architectural
elements
of
the
church
that's
being
torn
down,
can
you
reuse
any
of
the
brick
or
do
something
cool
in
the
community
space
with
it?
A
If
there's
some
stained
glass
or
if
that,
like
the
big
window,
the
circular
window,
if
that's
able
to
be
repurposed
in
this
project
in
some
way
or
something
kind
of
I
mean
you
know,
people
have
been
walking
by
that
church
for
a
hundred
years,
reminding
them
that
this
is
still
that
community
and
where
they
live.
I
think
there
could
be
some
historic
way
to
to
kind
of
tie
that
back
together
I'll.
Let
you
answer
some
of
those
questions
before
I
go
on.
E
Yeah,
I
think
we
can.
We
can
certainly
explore
some
of
the
reuse
of
of
some
elements
from
the
church,
whether
you
know
at
many
different
levels
between
you
know
whether
it's
the
ground
level
or
some
other
upper
level.
Excuse
me
upper
level
elements.
I
think
there's
there's
some
some
opportunities
there.
E
I
guess
thank
you
for
the
the
comment
about
appreciating
some
of
setbacks
and
things.
That's
a
very
intentional
piece
of
the
of
the
project
and
the
design.
Could
you
clarify
a
little
bit
about?
E
I
don't
know
if
I
got
two
of
your
comments,
you
know
sort
of
superimposed
on
each
other,
but
you
were
talking
about
the
step
backs,
but
also
like
third,
no
third
or
fourth
floor
step
back.
So
where
are
you
talking
about
additional
setbacks.
A
Yeah,
there's
we've
seen
two
or
three
different
projects
come
through
right
now,
the
same
area
where
they're
doing
some
kind
of
very
cool,
architectural
stepping
of
the
upper
floors
to
kind
of
the
massing
feel
a
little
bit
less
large
too.
The
snow
collects
one
of
them
that
I'm
sure
you've
looked
at
and
who
one
of
my
commissioners
might
be
able
to
chime
in
on
who's,
the
other
one
that
had
that
kind
of
very
cool
structure
that
we
saw
also
that's
around
15th
and
france,
but
there's
a
lot
of
you
know.
A
I
feel,
like
they're
doing
these
ways
to
integrate
these
into
the
neighborhood
and
into
15th
and
france
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
different
feel
than
what
we
you
know.
I
live
in
the
northwest
a
lot
of
this
type
of
building
I
would
just
kind
of
while,
if
you're
thinking
about
it,
kind
of
in
the
context
of
these
four
new
buildings
opening
in
the
next,
you
know
three
years,
if
they're,
all
kind
of
having
an
interesting
architectural
moment.
A
Maybe
some
of
that
element,
because
I
think
it
is
it's
something
different
that
we
haven't
seen
before,
which
I
think
is
cool
happening
there,
okay
and
yeah,
then
my
other
comment
was
about
the
historic,
brick
or
window
preservation
right
that
you
answered.
So
I
think
that
would
be
great
and
then
my
last
question
was
about
the
size
of
the
commercial
space.
How
big
are
those
different
bays
going
to
be.
E
The
individual
storefront
bays,
let's
see
the
the
total
square
footage,
is
now
around
1700
square
feet
for
the
commercial
space,
and
so
I
would
imagine
those
bays
are.
I
know
what
14
15
feet
each
if
you
sort
of
go
to
the
center
of
brick
to
center
brick
with
the
glass,
maybe
being
12
or
13
feet
wide.
Is
that
about
right,
beth.
E
Oh
so
well
I
mean,
if
we're
talking
about
fenestration,
you
know
that's
12
or
13
feet
of
you
know
glass
well
of
glass,
and
then
you
know
brick
here
whatever
and
if
you're
talking
about
obey
of
the
commercial,
you
know,
potentially
it's
a
single
user,
but
it
might
also
be
a
pair
of
smaller
uses.
I
think,
is
a
possibility.
E
It
could
be,
I
think,
there's
there's
the
opportunity
if
you
know
those
type
of
tenants
come
forward.
I
think
we've
thought
about
that
potential
and
we'll
we'll
keep
that
as
an
option.
I
think
it's
very
likely
that
we
might
get
somebody
for
the
1600
square
feet
with
you
know.
Having
that
much
visibility
for
that
square
footage
is,
you
know,
obviously
great
for
a
lot
of
different
uses.
So.
A
Yeah,
I
would
also
just
be,
I
think,
on
this
corridor.
It
could
be
really
neat
to
have
these
be
smaller
spaces.
We've
seen
come
through
with
you
know,
ways
to
have
smaller,
walk-up
window
coffee
shops
and
things
that
don't
necessarily
need
a
giant
footprint
and
be
able
to
have
more
entrepreneurial
type
businesses
in
those
spaces.
So
I
would
also,
I
think,
kind
of
given
the
corridor.
I
mean,
if
you
think,
of
something
like
I
was
picturing
kind
of
how
you
you
know
what
this
street's
kind
of,
like.
A
I
don't
think
at
36,
where,
like
bogarts,
is
how
you
can
kind
of
walk
up,
and
it
doesn't
there's
a
lot
of
those.
You
know
smaller
tight
businesses
could
be
kind
of
neat
on
this
thoroughfare
that
it's
not
at
exactly
50th
in
france.
You
know,
but
something
like
that,
that
I
think,
if
you
could
have
smaller
scale
ones,
would
be
great
too,
with
maybe
a
bathroom
built
in
so
then
you
can
get
away
from
the
whole
issue
with.
Where
is
the
bathroom,
but
maybe
something
like
that
could
could
work
too.
E
D
Yeah,
I
would
just
add
sheldon
that
the
intent
with
the
design
is
that,
if
it's
one
or
more
spaces,
it
could
be
broken
up
easily,
with
how
the
the
storefronts
are
subdivided
on
the
elevation.
