Okay.
We

go
back
to
the

and
handle
the
public

for
the
consent
items
and
after
we've
dealt
with
those

we
will
proceed
to
our
contin
discussion
items.
A
A
A
J
A
Okay,
thank

Those
motions
passes,
so
those
motions
passed.
So
if
you
were
here
for
items,
four,
five,
seven,
nine
or
ten
good
luck
with
your
project.
A
Just
give
them
a
moment
to
leave
the
room
while
we
cue
up
our
items
for
the
discussion
items,
discussion
items
are
those
for
which
the
board
will
take
public
testimony
deliberate
on
and
make
a
decision
after
public.
Testimony
has
been
heard
for
that
particular
item.
I'm
going
to
close
the
public
hearing
for
that
agenda
item.
A
Once
I
close
the
public
hearing
for
an
item,
no
additional
public
testimony
can
be
taken,
but
staff
may
be
asked
to
address
board
questions
after
the
public
hearing.
For
an
item
is
closed.
Board
members
will
then
discuss
and
act
on
motions
tonight.
Our
first
item
on
that
agenda.
The
discussion
agenda
is
item
number
four
and
I
think
staff
for
that
is
peter
crandall.
So
if
you
want
to
give
us
a
brief
presentation,
please.
A
K
Thank
you
and
good
evening.
Commissioners,
the
item
before
you,
as
was
just
stated,
is
located
in
the
loring
park
neighborhood
at
307,
315
and
317
oak
grove
street.
This
is
three
existing
zoning
parcels
that
are
currently
occupied
by
a
surface
parking
lot
that
was
formerly
servicing
the
nearby
women's
club
of
minneapolis.
K
The
property
is
currently
zoned
for
the
or2
high
density
office.
Residence
district,
which
you
can
see,
is
basically
how
the
entirety
of
loring
hill
is
currently
zoned,
that
is,
with
the
downtown
parking
overlay
district
and
the
shoreland
overlay
district
and
under
minneapolis
2040,
the
built
form
core.
The
built
form
designation
is
corridor.
Four,
the
existing
parcel
is
approximately
18
000
square
feet
in.
D
K
K
K
So
the
applicant
is
applying
for
an
administrative
height
increase
in
the
corridor
for
built
form
overlay.
The
standard
maximum
height
in
that
district
is
four
stories,
but
applicants
can
request
an
administrative
increase
to
that,
based
on
providing
certain
amenities
and
premiums
on
the
site.
So
in
this
case
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
enclose
the
parking
on
the
site
and
to
provide
their
required
inclusionary
zoning,
affordable
units
on
site.
K
Proposed
exterior
materials
are
burnish
block,
brick
and
metal
panel.
There's
a
shadow
study
included
in
the
submission,
and
then
this
is
the
ground
floor
plan
of
the
structure
showing
principal
entryways
and
proposed
outdoor
amenity
space
as
it
relates
to
those
ground
floor
uses
and
I'm
going
to
highlight
a
few
of
the
applications
that
the
applicant
is
requesting.
So
in
the
shoreland
overlay
district,
the
maximum
height
is
defaulted
at
two
and
a
half
stories
35
feet.
The
applicant
is
requesting
a
conditional
use
permit
to
increase
that
to
six
story
74
feet.
K
There
is
the
site
plan,
review
application
for
the
new
six
story
structure
and
then
several
variances
for
encroachments
in
the
required
yards
that
exceed
the
maximum
size
or
location
as
allowed.
So
I'm
going
to
go
through
a
few
of
those
on
the
site
plan
here,
there's
a
variance
to
increase
the
size
of
a
patio
in
both
the
front
and
interior
side
yard.
On
the
eastern
side
of
the
proposal.
K
And
here
and
then
there
is
a
variance
requested
for
the
rear
yard
for
these
private
at-grade
patios
that
open
onto
at-grade
interior
units.
It
would
be
worth
pointing
out
just
that.
The
setback
on
the
proposed
rear
yard
is
quite
significant,
and
so
actually
just
a
small
portion
of
these
proposed
patios
encroach
into
the
yard.
But
the
variance
is
still
required
there.
K
K
So
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
all
applications.
I
know
the
applicant
is
here
and
can
provide
some
more
context,
but
I'm
also
happy
to
take
questions
if
there
are
any
right
off
the
bat.
A
H
L
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name-
is
I'm
architect
and
design
director
at
irenka
architecture
office
in
milwaukee,
wisconsin
all
right,
so
I'm
gonna
walk
you
through.
Okay,
you
can
see
everything
on
the
screen
here,
just
really
quickly,
briefly
explaining
the
design
intent
for
the
building
before
I
started.
So
we
had
a
community
neighborhood
meeting
last
week
and
the
people
who
showed
up
before
the
meeting
so
they're
very
supportive
on
this
project.
L
The
site
contacts
you
see
on
your
screen:
that's
it's
a
really
great
site
and
really
in
this
historical
neighborhood
delorean
park
and
the
contacts
already
seen
here.
So
it's
really
overlooking
to
the
lauren
park
and
in
downtown
area
and
the
context
is
showing
some
of
the
existing
buildings
since
the
contact
the
surrounding
buildings
and
in
trying
to
really
pick
up
the
historical,
a
vocabulary
for
the
building
facade,
I
think
we're
going
to
integrate
to
our
design
intent
existing
photos
of
the
site.
L
This
is
a
series
of
diagrams
you
see
on
the
screen.
This
is
really
the
setbacks.
The
first
one
just
to
release
setbacks,
to
provide
enough
yards
and
front
yards
for
the
neighbors
and
for
the
residents,
and
we
really
pick
up
the
composition
of
the
historical
building
and
the
middle.
The
really
clear
defined
the
base
middle
top.
This
incense
for
the
project
overall
for
the
composition
and
the
fourth
diagram
is
really
pulled
into
the
first
floor.
L
To
create
of
this
porch
conditions
on
the
first
level
and
on
the
top
level
should
drop
it
down
that
value
so
really
responding
to
the
neighboring
building,
provide
also
provide
the
rooftops
on
the
on
the
building
for
the
for
the
amenities
and
the
punch,
openings
and
everything
that's
really
related
to
the
whole
neighborhood
the
context
so
you're.
Looking
on
the
screen,
this
is
the
the
views
looking
towards
east,
so
the
the
whole.
L
L
And
it's
another
view
looking
towards
east
towards
west
sorry,
so
we're
trying
to
bring
some
warm
materials
and
also
a
very
classic
high
quality,
full
brick
in
on
the
facade,
all
the
articulations
on
the
front
and
that's
on
the
side.
It
really
just
having
that
punch
opening
to
relate
to
the
overall
contacts
and
there's
your
in
this
view.
You
can
clearly
see
on
the
front
the
recessed
area
on
the
front.
We
have
this
really
nice
bench
area
and
a
bicycle
park
also
have
a
nice
front,
landscaped
area
for
the
residents.
L
We
have
a
really
outdoor
settings
for
the
residents
on
the
first
floor,
there's
clubhouse
indoor
outdoor
connections
over
there
and
also
has
a
very
great
opportunities
for
the
signage
and
on
the
first
floor
you
get
up
the
stairs
and
in
this
carriers
and
looking
out
on
the
group
on
the
street.
L
So
this
is
a
night
rendering
surfer
for
that
street
conditions
and
a
rooftop
view
looking
over
the
lauren
park,
and
this
is
the
front
facade.
Really.
We
really
pick
up
that
composition
and
vocabularies
architectural
vocabularies
related
to
the
context.
L
A
A
E
But
given
the
proximity
to
our
building
and
some
of
the
history
of
problems
with
construction,
vibration
and
the
impact
on
adjoining
buildings,
we
are
requesting
a
stipulation
that
a
vibrational
study
be
completed
by
the
developers
and
and
that
also
include
the
30
to
40
foot
retaining
wall.
That
runs
on
the
back
of
both
of
our
properties,
which
really
was
not
visible
in
the
drawings,
but
is
fairly
close
to
both
buildings.
E
A
F
F
I
unfortunately
didn't
bring
a
powerpoint
for
you
all
today,
but
I'll
say
that
the
view
is
absolutely
stunning
and
one
of
the
main
selling
points
of
the
reason
why
I
purchased
that
property
and
having
a
property
built
right
next
door
will
essentially
decrease
all
sunlight
into
my
unit.
The
sun
sets
facing
that
building
and
it'll
all
be
blocked
for
my
building.
F
So
in
between
that
building
and
the
building
to
the
east,
I
will
be
land
locked
in
brick
walls,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
do
my
due
diligence
and
speak
on
behalf
of
me
and
some
of
the
other
owners
of
the
fourth
and
the
fifth
floor
of
the
301
oak
grove
street
to
help
protect
our
view
and
the
character
of
our
building.
That
we've
come
to
love
and
I
brought
a
picture
of
the
view
too.
F
It's
really
beautiful
and
when
I
purchased
the
property
having
a
building
built
in
the
parking
garage
next
door
was
definitely
a
main
concern.
Having
you
know,
whenever
you
buy
a
property
based
off
of
a
view,
that's
something
that
you
have
to
look
into,
and
I
am
not
a
planning,
commissioner.
So
I
didn't
know
it
was
up
for
objection
or
approval.
So
just
wanted
to
come
here
and
speak
my
piece
and
hope
you
all
understand
and
give
us
some
thought.
So
thank
you.
A
G
My
name
is
jordan,
craig
and
I
live
also
at
301
oak
grove
street,
and
one
of
my
main
concerns
against
the
stipulation
would
be
the
parking
situation
in
the
loring
park.
Area
is
already
in
kind
of
concern
to
us.
Having
guests
over
is
near
impossible
just
due
to
the
lack
of
street
parking
so
adding
another
60
units
complex
to
the
area
is
going
to
further
complicate
the
situation.
G
So
one
of
my
main
concerns
is
just
we're
already
in
a
bad
situation
with
street
parking
and
adding
another
60
units
to
that
small
loring
park
hill
area
is
going
to
further
complicate
the
situation
and
then
also
the
view
as
well
as
in
my
unit,
would
be
completely
obstructed
with
the
new
proposal.
So
I'm
also
against
it
because
of
that.
M
J
J
So?
Well,
I
see
you
know
the
long
term
prudence
of
of
discouraging
car
parking.
J
I
think
it's
well
we're
living
in
a
neighborhood
where
street
parking
is
definitely
a
problem
and
we're
exacerbating
it
with
this
project
and
probably
all
the
projects
that
are
going
on
around,
if
indeed,
there's
no
need
for
off-street
parking
provided,
and
we
can
definitely
speak
to
the
developers,
prudence
in
providing
37.
J
J
Using
not
using
public
tran
or
using
public
transportation
or
finding
alternatives
to
to
automobiles,
but
I
I
don't
know
you
can
see
that
I'm
conflicted
on
this.
I
have
no
trouble
living
without
an
automobile,
but
I
think
it's
a
lot
to
say
that
the
people
in
the
neighborhood
that
have
to
get
to
their
jobs,
which
may
not
be
in
the
neighborhood,
need
a
place
to
park.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
my
questions
to
the
staff,
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
the
conditions
that
were
put
on
the
construction
next
to
our
lady
lord's
church,
and
that
did
include
a
vibration
monitor
to
protect.
That
is
that
to
address
one
of
the
concerns
from
the
h.o.a
president.
Is
that
within
our
authority
to
do
that.
N
I
can
try
to
answer
that.
I'm
not
entirely
familiar
with
that
particular
project
other
than
there
were
several
lawsuits
that
came
out
of
that.
That
resulted
in
some
additional
conditions
that
were
not
actually
part
of
the
city's
file.
N
That
was
also
a
historic
structure,
which
is
not
the
case
here.
Vibration
is
not
something
that's
enforced
through
the
zoning
code.
That's
actually
something
that's
enforced
by
our
construction
code,
services
and
environmental
services
staff.
So
we
would
not
have
the
ability,
through
a
land,
use
application
to
enforce
a
condition
like
that.
Nor
do
we
have
the
ability
to
require
a
bond
as
a
condition
through
a
land
use
application
process.
N
A
Okay,
anybody
else,
oh
commissioner,
baxley!
No,
that's
must
be
rainbow's
thing,
commissioner,
alper.
O
Thanks
this
is
a
question
for
staff.
We've
heard
about
views
are
views
protected
by
the
code,
no.
O
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
I'm.
I
saw
that
there
was
we've
heard
a
lot
tonight
about
traffic
and
parking,
and
I
see
that
there's
a
requirement
for
a
tdm
plan
as
part
of
this
project.
I
believe,
and
I'm
just
curious
what
strategies
are
included
in
in
that
thanks.
K
K
O
P
Q
Yes,
hi
my
questions
for
the
applicant
as
well.
Are
you
providing
any
kind
of
drop
off
pick
up
spot
for
uber's
lifts,
any
kind
of
obvious
space
for
that
outside
the
building.
P
Correct
it's
not
necessarily
specifically
for
that,
but
where
our
trash
enclosure
location
is
we're
planning
to
vacate
that
part
of
the
street,
which
could
be
a
perfect
location
to
have
those
ubers
or
lifts
or
whatever
drop
off
and
pick
up
there.
Okay,.
Q
And
are
you
providing
any
number
of
guests
parking
or
no
there's
no
guest
parking
on
the
property
at
all?
At.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
my
ques,
I
just
wanna
have
a
comment
for
the
hoa,
so
you've
heard
that
we
do
not
have
the
authority
to
impose
a
bond
requirement
or
vibration,
but
I
would
encourage
the
applicants
to
listen
very
carefully
to
their
needs.
I
think
they're
very
legitimate,
and
that
would
just
be
a
good
way
to
become
good,
neighbors
and
set
the
tone.
So
please
do
that.
I
also
really,
like
commissioner
marwah's
suggestion
about
a
dedicated
spot,
to
drop
off
and
pick
up
people.
I
C
Okay,
I
move
up
adoption
of
the
the
staff
recommendations,
as
provided
in
the
agenda.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Is
there
a
second
to
that
second
arwa.
Thank
you
all
in
any
discussion
on
the
motion.
A
Okay
with
sorry,
does
the
clerk
have
to
call
the
role
on
this,
or
can
we
just
do
it?
Okay,
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
aye
opposed
any
abstentions.
Okay,
with
that
the
motion
passes.
A
All
right,
if
you
are
here
for
again
items
four
five,
six,
seven,
nine
or
ten
those
have
been
discussed.
The
last
item
on
our
agenda
is
item
number
eight,
which
is
3554
gerard
avenue,
south
andrew.
If
you'd
like
to
give
us
presentation.
R
Good
evening,
vice
president
mcguire
and
commissioners
before
you
today
is
an
application
for
a
comprehensive
plan
amendment
to
amend
the
built
form
designation
for
the
property
located
at
3554
gerard
avenue,
south.
A
R
The
application
is
for
a
comprehensive
plan
amendment
to
amend
the
built
form
designation
for
the
property
at
3554
gerard
avenue,
south
from
interior
to
to
corridor
four.
The
subject
property
is
a
reverse
corner
lot,
located
at
the
corner
of
gerard
and
36th
street
property
is
a
little
over
7
500
square
feet
in
area
and
is
currently
in
the
r2b
district
and
the
interior
ii
built
form
overlay
district.
The
future
land
use
guidance
here
is
urban
neighborhood
and
the
property
is
currently
occupied
by
a
single-family
home.
R
This
map
here
shows
the
existing
built
form
guidance
in
the
comprehensive
plan
for
the
area.
The
legend
is
a
little
bit
small
here,
but
the
darker
brown
or
the
medium
brown
color
here
is
the
corridor
4
overlay
district,
I'm
sorry
corridor,
4
built
form
designation
which,
as
you
can
see,
is
applied
to
the
properties
adjacent
to
and
in
close
proximity
to
hennepin,
as
well
as
on
bryant
a
little
bit
further
east
and
then
on
36
between
colfax
and
lindale.
R
The
tan
color
that
you
see
across
most
of
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
is
the
interior
ii
built
form
district
and
then
lakewood,
cemetery
and
and
the
lake
are
located
in
the
park's
built
form
designation.
R
As
I
mentioned,
the
application
before
you
today
is
to
amend
the
built
form
designation
for
the
subject
property
from
interior
to
to
corridor
four,
with
no
change
to
the
future
land
use
designation,
andrew.
A
R
So
the
applicant
is
seeking
this
comp
plan
amendment
in
order
to
facilitate
a
proposed
redevelopment
project
that
if
this
were
approved,
they
would
be
bringing
before
you
in
the
future.
The
applicant
plans
to
demolish
the
existing
home
on
the
property
and
to
construct
a
new
four-story
six-unit
residential
building.
R
Their
concept
plans
would
configure
the
building
with
enclosed
parking,
utility
and
amenity
spaces.
On
the
first
floor
and
then
two
residential
units
per
floor
for
each
of
the
upper
floor
upper
floors,
the
applicant
intends
for
the
units
in
the
building
to
be
for
sale
condominium
units
as
part
of
the
applica.
I'm
sorry.
If,
if
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
is
approved
both
by
the
city
council
and
the
met
council,
the
development
project
would
require
land
use
applications
that
would
come
back
before
the
planning
commission
based
on
their
preliminary
plans.
R
They
would
require
a
rezoning
from
the
r2b
district
and
interior
ii
built
form
overlay
district
to
the
r3
district
and
the
corridor.
Four
built
form
overlay
district
variances
to
the
front
yard
setbacks.
As
I
mentioned,
this
is
a
reverse
corner
lot
and
site
plan
review
as
part
of
the
application
materials
for
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
applicants
are
required
to
conduct
community
engagement.
R
Meetings
with
the
neighborhood
organization
in
august
of
2019
and
january
of
this
year,
and
then
a
specific
community
meeting
for
this
application
in
particular,
which
was
in
may
of
this
year,
a
copy
of
their
engagement
plan
and
notes
on
the
feedback
that
they
received
was
included
in
your
packets.
R
In
addition,
there
were
two
comment:
letters
received
from
the
adjacent
property
owner
to
the
north,
one
of
which
was
included
in
your
packets
and
the
other.
You
should
have
received
just
before
this
meeting
the
staff
responses
to
the
findings
for
a
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
are
detailed
in
the
staff
report.
R
I'm
happy
to
address
any
questions
regarding
those
findings,
but
I
do
want
to
draw
your
attention
briefly
to
finding
number
two
in
particular,
which
essentially
asks
what
change
has
occurred
since
the
adoption
of
the
comp
plan
to
merit
revisiting
the
designation
of
the
property
and
in
many
residential
areas.
The
primary
factors
in
determining
the
built
form
designation
are
proximity
to
downtown
and
the
level
of
available
transit
service.
R
The
line
will
include
a
new
brt
station
right
at
the
intersection
of
36th
and
hennepin,
approximately
160
feet
from
the
subject
property,
which
will
greatly
increase
the
quality
of
transit
service
available
at
the
property.
As
discussed
in
the
staff
report
under
the
first
and
fifth
findings.
The
proposed
amendment
would
leverage
this
investment
in
transit
infrastructure
to
advance
the
city's
transportation,
climate
and
housing
goals
and
directly
connects
with
several
comp
plan
goals,
as
well
as
several
comp
plan
policies,
as
discussed
in
the
staff
report.
R
So
staff
is
recommending
that
the
planning
commission
recommend
that
the
city
council
approve
the
comp
plan
amendment
and
I'm
happy
to
address
any
questions.
Thank
you.
C
R
Vice
president
mcguire,
commissioner,
ford,
a
reverse
corner
lot
is
a
lot
that
has
two
platted
front
or
is
subject
to
two
front
yard
setbacks.
So
in
this
case
this
lot
is
platted
to
face
gerard
the
adjacent
property
to
the
west,
which
is
a
community
residential
facility
veil,
place
they're
planted
to
face
36th,
and
so
they
have
an
established
front
yard
on
36th,
which
is
then
applied
to
this
property.
So
this
property
is
subject
to
its
platted
front
yard,
on
gerard
and
then
also
a
reverse
corner
front
yard.
R
On
36th,
as
you
can
see
in
in
this
illustration,
that
adjacent
building
to
the
west
is
set
back
quite
substantially
from
36th
and
the
property
would
be
unbuildable
if
it
were
to
comply
with
with
both
setback
requirements.
A
Andre,
I
have
a
question.
Typically,
we
see
the
comprehensive
plan
amendments,
the
rezonings,
the
site
plans,
all
in
tandem.
I
understand
they're
bringing
this
forward.
I
assume,
so
they
can
just
kind
of
get
the
ball
rolling
on
some
of
this
before
they
invest
in
full
engineering
plan
designs.
My
question
is
so
there
would
not
be
actually
tied
to
the
site
plan
as
part
of
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
correct
so
this
this
could
come
back
with
something
completely
different.
It's
just
the
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
correct.
R
Vice
president
mcguire
that
this,
the
second
part
is
correct,
so
this
is
just
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
nothing
here
beyond
the
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
is
proposed
at
this
time.
The
first
part,
though
they
cannot
apply
for
the
other
applications.
Unless
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
is
approved.
First.
A
Okay,
so
my
question
is:
if
we,
I
guess
I
have
a
follow-up
question.
So
if
we
approve
or
recommend
approval
in
the
city,
council
approves
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment,
what
other
types
of
uses
or
projects
could
go
on
this
site
under
the
interior.
R
Say
right,
sorry,
vice
president
mcguire,
the
the
corridor
for
yeah.
That's
that's
a
great
question.
So
the
the
built
form
districts
do
not
govern
use.
They
only
govern
built
form.
So
this
property
is
still
in
the
urban
neighborhood
future
land
use
category
and
it
currently
has
the
r2b
district.
They
would
likely
seek
the
r3
district
as
a
rezoning
when
they
bring
a
project
forward.
So
the
the
the
the
change
to
the
built
form
guidance
from
the
interior
ii
district
to
the
corridor.
Four
district
allows
for
a
more
intense
development.
R
It
does
not
allow
for
different
uses,
so
the
uses
of
the
property
are
still
limited
to
residential
uses.
With
some.
There
is
potential
for
some
very
specific
non-residential
uses
like
religious
assembly
daycare
preschool
that
sort
of
thing,
but
in
general
multi-family
residential,
would
be
the
would
be
the
really
only
practical
use.
Okay.
S
So,
just
to
follow
up
one
level
deeper
on
that,
so
this
one
is
being
proposed
as
we're
seeing
here.
I
know
it's
sort
of
it's.
This
is
not
anywhere
near
final,
but
they're
proposing
six
units.
If
this,
if
they,
if
the
the
comprehensive
plan
change
is
approved,
could
they
come
back
with?
S
R
Yeah,
commissioner
campbell
great
great
question
in
the
corridor
four
built
form
overlay
district.
There
is
not
a
specific
limit
to
the
maximum
number
of
units.
The
current
r2b
district
limits
them
to
a
maximum
of
three
units,
an
individual
in
an
individual
structure.
Assuming
that
there
were
a
corresponding
rezoning
to
r3.
There
would
not
be
a
limit
on
the
specific
number
of
units.
We
don't
limit
the
the
number
of
units
in
an
individual
structure
in
our
medium
and
high
density
districts
anymore.
R
We
limit
we,
we
have
limitations
on
the
height
and
on
the
floor
area
and
on
the
minimum
size
of
units
so
that
there
are,
you
know
all
of
those
limitations
apply,
but
there's
not
a
specific
limit
on
the
number
of
units.
D
Thank
you
andrew.
So
the
premise
here
is
that,
since
transit
is
changing
the
nature
of
36
right,
would
we
begin
to
anticipate
then
that
all
of
these
properties,
fronting
36,
could
be
applying
for
this
in
the
future.
R
Commissioner
baxley,
that
that's
a
great
question,
you
know
I
I
don't
want
to
speculate
on
that
too
much.
You
know
we
evaluate
an
application
individually
as
it
comes
forward.
The
city
as
of
right
now
has
not
taken
the
stance
of
when
there
are
changes
to
transit.
We're
going
to
proactively
make
make
zoning
changes.
We
haven't
done
that
yet,
but
you
know
if,
if
a
property
in
a
similar
situation
were
to
come
forward,
the
responses
to
the
findings
may
be
very
similar.
R
Commissioner,
marwa
that's
a
great
question.
You
know
today
this
section
of
36th
has
service
from
the
23,
which
is
not
quite
high
frequency,
but
is
a
is
a
pretty
relatively
frequent
local
route,
whereas
hennepin
has
the
23
as
well
as
the
six,
which
is
a
high
frequency
route
at
the
time.
You
know
this
was
back
in
2018
when
this,
when
this
map
was
adopted,
metro
transit
has
come
a
long
way
in
advancing
many
of
the
arterial
bus,
rapid
transit
routes
since
then,
including
the
e-line,
so
the
you
know.
R
Q
A
Q
R
Someone
could
come
in
with
with
applications
for
properties
individually.
You
know,
I
don't
know
that
this
sets
a
precedent
based
on
a
certain
distance
from
a
station,
or
that
we
would.
We
would
have
the
same
response
to
the
findings.
If
you
were
talking
about
a
location,
that's
on
the
route
but
is
in
between
stations-
and
you
know,
the
route
here
does
does
turn
right,
so
it
it's
coming
down
hennepin
and
then
it
heads
west
on
36th
and
around
the
southern
end
of
the
lake.
It
does
not
go.
A
R
Commissioner
baxley
correct
yeah,
the
station
will
be
you
know.
The
the
the
bus
rapid
transit
platform
will
be
160
feet
from
this
property,
where
there
will
be
all-day
frequent,
limited
stop
service
connecting
to
a
lot
of
major
destinations
got
it.
Thank
you.
O
Thank
you.
I
would
hope
that
in
the
future,
if,
if
they're
required,
all
this
talk
about
all
this
talk
about
transit
tonight,
I
would
hope
in
the
future
if
they
are
required
to
do
a
tdm
plan
that
they
would
include
as
a
strategy
offering
the
residential
transit
pass,
which
provides
a
14
per
month.
Transit
pass
for
each
unit
in
the
building,
so
thanks
just
had
to
put
that
in
there.
Thank
you.
A
I
love
the
plug.
Okay,
any
other
questions
for
staff.
Okay,
so
just
to
recap
sorry,
it's
like
you're
in
court
today,
I'm
sorry.
So
this
is
a
request
for
an
amendment
just
to
the
built
form
district
of
minneapolis
2040.
A
R
Vice
president
maguire,
based
on
the
plans
they
have
submitted,
you
know
there's
additional
development
that
needs
to
to
happen
here
right
there.
These
these
plans
are
conceptual,
but
we
would
anticipate
that
they
would
need
a
rezoning
to
correspond
with
with
the
comp
plan
amendment
and
then
the
front
yard,
setback,
variances
and
then
site
plan
review.
As
you
mentioned,.
R
Great
question
vice
president
mcguire,
so
the
each
of
the
built
form
designations
in
the
comp
plan
has
a
corresponding
built
form
overlay
district.
So
the
rezoning
from
there
would
be
a
rezoning
required
from
the
interior
ii
built
form
overlay
to
the
corridor
for
built
form
overlay.
Those
those
match
up
directly
and
then
from
the
r2b
district
to
any
higher
intensity.
Residential
district
r3
would
would
be
them
would
be
what
we
typically
see
and
and
would
allow
the
the
proposed
project.
A
Okay,
great
okay.
With
that
sorry,
any
other
questions
for
staff.
Thank
you
so
much
we
appreciate
it.
I
guess
I
think
I
need
to
actually
open
the
public
hearing
on
this
item.
So
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
on
this
item
and
ask
if
the
applicant
is
wants
to
come
forward
and
speak
to
the
item
to
come
on
up
to
the
podium
yeah
go
ahead.
T
Tim
pearson,
3554
gerard
avenue,
south,
that's
my
wife,
jen
andre,
did
a
great
job
talking
to
the
bones
of
this
project,
so
I
thought
I
would
take
a
couple
minutes.
Just
talk
with
the
heart.
T
We
have
lived
in
south
uptown
for
over
two
and
a
half
decades,
21
22
of
them
at
our
current
residence.
We
absolutely
love
it
there
we're.
This
is
what
agent
place
looks
like
in
case.
You
were
wondering
we
joke
with
our
kids
that
they're
gonna
have
to
just
carry
us
across
the
street
when
we're
time
is
right.
T
We
just
think
it's
the
most
beautiful
spot
where
we
live.
The
access
to
the
lakes,
the
hiking
walking
paths,
bike
paths,
the
shopping
and
now
we're
at
the
point
in
our
lives
where
we
want
to
share
with
a
few
other
people.
We've
worked
very
closely
with
both
of
our
city
council
persons
for
the
last
three
years,
as
well
as
with
the
city,
planning,
department
and
andrew
specifically,
the
reason
we've
done.
That
is
because
we've
really
wanted
to
work
within
the
specific
intent
of
the
2040
plan.
T
T
We
have
records
of
all
of
that,
and
you
know,
unlike
most
of
the
projects
that
have
been
going
on
in
2040,
we
think
we're
one
of
the
unique
ones
because
we're
just
a
small
family
unit
and
we
to
us
that
was
what
really
sounded
clearer
in
our
hearts
about
2040.
Was
this
the
ability
to
bring
density
with
small
family
units
we've
dubbed
our
project
ale?
T
We
really
think
this
project
has
an
ability
to
make
a
statement
about
what
2040
is
about
to
accomplish
that
we
brought
in
world-renowned
architect,
charles
stinson
and
his
team,
to
do
this
project
and
by
the
way
charles
began
his
career
as
a
city
planner
in
the
city
of
st
louis
park
in
the
design
process
early
one
morning,
charles
called
me,
and
he
said
tim
I
was
up
so
late,
but
it
finally
hit
me.
I've
got
it.
T
A
You
any
questions
for
the
applicant.
Do
you
want
to
stay
up
here?
Sorry,
oh
stay
up
here!
I'm
sorry
before
you
sit
down,
commissioner
fayol.
U
I
don't
I
don't
necessarily
have
any
questions,
but
I've
been
a
south
uptown
resident
for
15
plus
years,
and
I
have
to
tell
you
that
when
I
saw
your
design,
it
was
probably
one
of
the
first
designs
since
I've
been
on
the
city
planning
commission
that
I
actually
got
excited
about
and
it's
it's
really
like.
I
know
that
area
really
well
and
I
I
love
it.
It's
great.
It's
loved
it.
I'd
love
to
see
that
you
are
passing
on
tradition
and
I
think
that's
really
important
to
the
community.
Q
T
Q
A
Great
okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
If
there's
anyone
else
here
to
speak
to
this
item,
please
come
on
up
to
the
podium,
just
state,
your
name
and
address
for
the
public
record.
Please.
H
Hello,
I'm
kaleen
mcmillan
and
I
live
at
3548
gerard,
I'm
the
host
directly
adjacent
to
this
proposed
property,
and
I
will
be
the
one
most
affected
by
this
application.
One
of
the
I
want
to
give
you
a
little
background,
I'm
sorry
if
I'm
reading
from
my
phone,
but
I
don't
want
to
forget
anything
the
whole
I'm
the
second
owner
of
that
house.
H
My
grandparents
were
the
original
owners
and
I
bought
that
house
to
enjoy
the
yard
and
the
sunny
backyard
and
the
privacy
of
a
beautiful
walnut
tree
in
the
backyard,
and
it
currently
has
perennials
from
my
grandmother.
This
plan
fundamentally
changes
the
enjoyment
I
will
have
in
that
house.
This
house,
or
this
building,
will
tell
over
my
one
and
a
half
story
home,
and
we
see
a
lot
of
the
drawings
here
from
the
front,
but
we
do
not
see
any
drawings
what
it
would
be,
what
it
would
look
like
from
from
my
standpoint.
H
H
My
second
point
is
it's:
the
property
is
really
not
in
the
spirit
of
2040..
This
plan
doesn't
address
the
main
goal,
which
is
affordable
housing
for
all.
They
they've
put
in
the
plan
that
this
actually
is
not
affordable,
housing,
and
so
that
area
we
already
there
are
plenty
of
houses
or
condo
units
and
rentals
in
high
price
points
that
are
available
right
now
and
what
we
really
need
in
that
area
is
affordable,
housing
and
houses
that
are
not
just
for
higher
income.
H
Thirdly,
there
was
some
not
this
drawing
but
a
previous
drawing
where
we
they
talked
about
the
other
corridor,
four
areas
or
yeah,
the
properties
that
are
considered
corridor
for
directly
to
the
west,
around
36th
and
hennepin.
Those
are
busy
streets
they're,
not
a
residential
street,
like
gerard.
So
that's
just
something
I
wanted
to
point
out.
H
Lastly,
my
property
value
will
decrease
because
I
will
lose
all
sun
and
privacy.
I
don't
want
that,
swept
under
the
carpet.
It
should
be
considered
because
it
affects
me
and
other
people
on
that
street,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
my
opposition
known,
and
hopefully
you
will
consider
it.
That's
it.
A
A
Commissioner
paola
is
yours:
oh
old,
okay,
okay,
I'm
not
seeing
anybody!
So,
oh,
okay!
C
I
mean
I
I'm
responding
to
the
last
speaker
and
I
think
what
she
said
is
what
she
said
is
certainly
believable,
that
there
will
be
a
construction
that
will
extend
to
the
to
the
alley
or
to
where
we
get
to
ally
blocking
her.
You
know
blocking
her
view
from
the
from
the
backyard
of
her
property,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
I
think,
she's
right
and
this
is
going
to
impair
her
property
value
and
her
enjoyment
of
her
property.
C
And
while
I
like
the
design
of
the
the
drawing
we've
seen
of
the
design,
I'm
not
sure
I
can
just
just
dismiss
the
comments
of
the
last
speaker.
I
think
I'm
trying
to
think
of
so
what
what?
What
is
so
special
that
we
should
be
impairing
her
property
and
her
lifestyle,
her
life
enjoyment
of
a
property,
and
I
and
the
fact
that
there's
a
you
know
that
would
be
a
a
more
frequent
bus
service
on
hennepin
avenue.
A
half
block
away
is
interesting.
I
still
don't
think
that's.
I
guess.
C
I'm
not
comfortable
voting
for
this
I'll
be
voting
no.
A
Okay,
I
have
a
few
thoughts,
so
tonight's
request
is
just
for
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
for
the
built
form:
it's
not
for
the
site
plan.
So
in
terms
of
the
shadowing
and
the
views
and
the
actual
site
layout,
I
don't
think
we
can
take
that
into
consideration
tonight,
because
that
will
come
forward
with
the
future
site
plan.
Tonight
is
really
just
about
the
the
the
movement
in
the
the
built
form
overlay.
A
I
think
it
makes
sense
it's
clearly
adjacent
to
it
and
on
a
transit
corridor.
That's
pretty
close.
I
think
the
applicant
should
be
working
with
the
adjacent
residents.
You
know
throughout
the
the
site,
development
process,
it
sounds
like
they're
they're,
definitely
open
to
that
and
they're
willing
to
stay
in
the
commun.
You
know
they're
staying
there,
so
I
think
they
want
it
to
be
nice
long-term
too.
A
We
just
heard
from
kimberly
that
views
are
not
protected
through
the
zoning
code,
so
I
would
be
supportive
of
it
and
again
I
really
liked
the
architecture.
I
think
that
it's
really
a
unique
beautiful
project.
We
see
a
lot
of
more
cookie
cutter
type
buildings,
so
it
sounds
like
they're
trying
to
do
something
cool
here.
So
I
think
in
terms
of
just
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment,
which
is
the
only
thing
we
can
discuss
tonight,
I
would
be
supportive
of
it.
C
J
C
Yeah,
I
I
understand
that,
but
without
this
comprehensive
plan
amendment
what
has
been
proposed
here,
I
gather
would
not
be
would
not
occur
and-
and
I
have
not
heard
any
compelling
reason
why
this
change
should
occur
other
than
it
will
allow
them
to
sell,
to
sell
some
number
of
condominiums
on
that
parcel
and
it'll
be
attractive.
I
understand
that,
but
but
it
also
will
affect
the
neighbors
that
neighbor
at
least-
and
it's
a
it's,
a
considerable
change
in
the
property
use
from
what's
currently
there.
A
So,
in
terms
of
I
guess
process,
so
we're
just
talking
about
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
tonight.
So
if
anybody
has
sounds
like
the
findings,
for
that
were
that
it
is
close
to
that
160
feet
from
the
transit
stop
andrew,
could
you
talk
about
what
other
findings?
There
were.
What
other
compelling
reasons
as
commissioner
ford
put
it
to.
R
Make
the
amendment
yeah,
commissioner
mcguire
commissioners,
the
staff
report?
There
are
a
number
of
findings
for
a
comprehensive
plan
amendment
I
think
six
or
no
five
findings.
Some
of
them
have
several
parts
to
them
about
connecting
a
variety
of
considerations.
I
I
think,
commissioner
ford.
R
Obviously
there
is
subjectivity
to
this,
but
to
the
the
first
finding
talks
about
goals
and
policies
in
the
comprehen
in
the
comprehensive
plan
that
are
specifically
supported
by
this
proposed
amendment
and
and
does
explain
why
staff
finds
that
that
this
proposed
amendment
supports
those
goals.
R
I
think
there
are
some
specific
statements
in
the
comp
plan
that
are
highlighted
in
that
first,
finding
response
that
that
the
staff
found
compelling,
but
I
think
that
that
would
be
my
response
to
that.
Vice
president
maguire.
Thank
you.
S
Think
it's
worth
noting
here
for
the
purposes
of
this
conversation
and
for
the
woman
who
spoke
earlier
mentioned
how
it
is
not,
this
proposal
does
not
align
with
the
2040
plan
and
that
it
doesn't
provide
affordable
housing.
I
think
I
think
everyone
in
attendance
would
agree
that
that's
true,
but
I
also
think
just
to
underscore
what
andrew
said.
The
proposal
also
has
several
components
that
do
meet
the
threshold
as
identified
by
the
2040
plan,
as
and
as
evaluated
by
city
staff
that
do
support
the
comprehensive
plan,
including
access
to
diverse
housing
supply.
S
You
know:
access
to
transit
corridors,
a
whole
variety
of
things
that
are
included
in
the
2040
plan,
so
I
think,
within
the
lens
of
our
role
as
a
body
to
make
decisions
about
changing
these
built
form,
overlays
and
other
things
through
that
lens.
To
me,
it
at
least
aligns
with
the
intent
set
out
by
the
passage
of
the
2040
plan,
at
least
in
this
particular
instance.
Q
R
Commissioner
marwa
with
the
rezoning
they
could
potentially
do
a
four-unit
building
here
without
without
a
comprehensive
plan
amendment
the
biggest
limitation
with
the
interior
2
district
is
going
to
be
the
height
and
the
floor
area
ratio
and
the
applicant
could
speak
to
this
more,
but
for
them
specifically,
the
height
was,
was
the
big
limitation
with
the
existing
built
form
overlay
district,
okay,.
Q
Thank
you,
so
I
mean,
I
think,
as
the
intention
of
what
this
plan
is
and
where
this
is
located
near
trance
and
everything
we
want
to
make
it
more
capable
for
these
types
of
projects
to
get
done
in
the
city.
Right.
That's
a
lot
of
the
intention
on
it
is.
Why
is
that
and
the
economics
make
a
lot
more
sense?
Q
Obviously,
if
it's
a
six
block
than
a
fourplex
and
so
that
type
of
infill
housing,
that's
super
creative,
that's
very
community
place
based
is
what
I
think
a
lot
of
this
intention
was
behind,
and
so
I
will
be
supporting
it
for
that
to
be
able
to
make
people
who
live
here
and
will
be
living
in
these
units,
actually
more
the
ability
to
be
able
to
build
this
type
of
housing.
This
is
what
we've
all
wanted
to
see
in
infill,
and
I
know
it
being
the
one
next
to
it.
A
Okay,
I
would
entertain
a
motion.
S
I'll
move
to
adopt
staff
recommendation.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
a
second
on
that?
Second,
commissioner,
marwa?
Okay,
thank
you
any
discussion.
Emotions
were
made
in
second
in
any
discussion
on
the
item.
A
Okay,
I'll,
I
heard
there's
going
to
potentially
be
some
opposition.
So
could
we
do
a
roll
call
vote
for
this
one?
Please
absolutely.
D
I
B
A
Okay,
so
that
motion
passes,
and
that
is
just
a
recommendation
to
the
city
council
who
makes
the
final
decisions
on
the
comprehensive
plan
amendments.
If
you
have
any
other
questions
about
that,
one,
please
ask
staff
and
last.
A
Okay,
last
up
on
the
agenda
that
concluded
our
public
hearing
items,
so
our
last
up
will
be
announcements
from
staff.
Any
announcements
from
staff
tonight.
N
N
So
essentially,
what
that
means
is
we're
preceding
business
as
usual.
Now
again,
while
the
appeal
proceeds
through
the
court
process,
we
did
have
a
few
projects
that
had
been
continued
from
previous
meetings
that
ended
up
on
today's
agenda,
the
one
we
just
discussed
being
one
of
them,
so
we
will
continue
to
give
you
any
updates,
as
they
come
up,
but
business
as
usual
as
far
as
we're
concerned
from
this
point
on
so
thank.
A
You
and
it
sounds
like
we
have
a
member
of
the
public
who
would
like
to
address
the
commission
yeah
if
you'd
like
to
come
up
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
again.
I
know
you
spoke
earlier,
feel
free.
Give
you
a
couple
minutes.
M
In
1327
washington
street
northeast,
I
am
here
just
in
general
support
of
the
european
model
of
mixed-use
housing,
specifically
in
addressing,
of
course,
cars,
but,
more
importantly,
the
missing
middle
phenomenon.
If
you're
aware
of
that
what
where
it's
very
related
to
the
last
case.
M
I
recommend
that
if
anyone,
even
people
watching
this
very
nice
video,
yes,
I'm
looking
at
you-
please
do
look
those
up
and
at
your
leisure
page
through
them,
especially,
the
idea
of
a
strode
is
very
good.
J
M
Q
A
Mathematics
student
awesome:
are
there
any
other
announcements
from
the
commission
before
yes
go
ahead,
so.
M
The
idea
of
a
street
is
what
you
imagine
as
you're,
very
picturesque,
neighborhood
people
walking
very
close
everything's
kind
of
slow
and
close
together
and
a
road
is
what
you
would
imagine
a
highway
is
a
very
fast
few
stops
situation
and
what
a
strode
is
is
a
honestly
worst
of
both
worlds,
where
you
have
high
speeds
and
frequent
stops,
which
makes
it
awful
to
live
next
to
and
awful
to
drive
through,
because
you're
stopped
and
you're
paying
attention
and
there's
crashes,
and
it's
rather
quite
awful.
It's
what
you
see
in
a
lot
of
suburban.
M
I
suppose
you
could
call
it
but
think
of
sort
of
the
spaced
out
walls
of
concrete
and
gas
stations
that
you
see
kind
of
dotted
everywhere
and
you
can
imagine
trying
to
live
and
walk
through
there.
It
doesn't
work,
it
does
not
work
at
all
and
it
makes
everything
more
expensive
like
you
have
to
run
pipe
so
far
to
reach
like
a
mcdonald's
and
then
a
starbucks,
and
it's
like
why
they're
this
far.
Why
are
they
this
far
apart?

Bobby

monroe
city
northeast-
I
just
want
to
clarify
for
rainville
because
we
live
in
the
neighborhood
a
strode.
A
good
example
is
saint
anthony,
parkway
up
there
or
central
avenue.
It's
four
lanes
got
a
lot
of
entrances
and
exits
a
lot
of
stop
lights,
but
people
go
50
over
sometimes
because
it's
very
wide.
I
A
Okay,
seeing
none
we've
completed
all
the
items.
I
will
ask
members,
oh
with
not
with
no
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Our
next
planning
commission,
regular
meeting
will
be
august
15th
and
our
next
committee
of
the
hole
be
this
thursday
august
4th.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
