One
more
time,
commissioner
fayola
here,
commissioner
marwa.
B
I
J
B
B
I
will
read
through
the
agenda
items
and
numbers
and
addresses
and
state
whether
it's
slated
for
consent
or
discussion
or
to
be
continued
consent
items
will
be
passed
without
discussion
by
the
board.
We
will
be
adopting
staff
recommendation
and
any
listed
conditions
on
that
item.
If
you
agree
with
the
staff
recommendation,
you
don't
need
to
do
anything
and
we'll
pass
the
item
as
recommended
by
staff,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
following
the
decision,
you
can
check
with
the
staff
member
assigned
to
that
item.
B
If
you
disagree
with
the
staff
recommendation
and
would
like
it
to
be
discussed,
please
indicate
that
when
I
read
off
that
item
number-
and
we
will
add
it
to
the
discussion
agenda-
so
here
are
items
for
this
evening:
number
four
240
portland
avenue
and
500
through
533rd
street
south.
This
item
is
recommended
for
consent
and
is
not
part
of
the
public
hearing.
B
B
B
K
We
are
actually
recommending
a
continuance
for
item
five.
Okay,
for
is
it
three
cycles?
Okay,
can
you
clarify
to,
I
believe,
the
may
9th
meeting
thanks?
Yes,
it's
three.
B
I
also
saw
item
10
was
for
continuance,
so
there's
two
continuances.
Is
that
right,
correct,
okay
got
it
my
mistake:
okay,
so
item
number
five:
we
will
continue
to
the
may
9th
meeting
and
item
number
six
is
going
on
consent.
B
Item
number,
seven
is
2913th
avenue.
South
and
staff
is
recommending
this
item
for
consent.
So
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
against
item
number
seven.
B
B
B
B
Next
is
number
11,
2718
grand
avenue,
south
and
staff
is
recommending
this
item
for
consent.
Is
there
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
against
staff
recommendation
on
item
number
11.
B
B
So,
to
recap:
we
have
items
1,
four,
six,
seven
and
eight
on
consent.
B
D
J
B
B
H
O
B
Okay,
all
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
for
the
consent
agenda.
Okay,
do
we
need
to
I'm
seeing
peter's
message?
I
believe
we
vote
on
the
continuance
items
at
the
end,
or
do
we
add
those
to
the
consent
agenda.
K
B
So
we'll
do
that
next,
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
is
there
any
discussion.
M
C
Chair
olsen,
if
I
can,
and
if
you're
going
to
answer
that
2718
grand
avenue
is
item
number
11
and
will
be
discussed
so
that
is,
that
is
not
part
of
the
motion
being
made
at
the
moment.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
B
All
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
consent
agenda.
Is
there
any
discussion.
J
J
G
B
Nays
all
right
that
motion
passes
next,
we
will
proceed
to
the
public
hearing
for
our
continuance
items,
so
those
are
items
number
five
and
10.
I'll.
First
I'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
five,
which
is
2603
through
2621
bloomington
avenue,
and
so,
if
you
are
here
to
speak
to
this
item,
you
can
do
so
now,
but
it
will
be
continued
to
the
may
9th
meeting.
B
Okay
motion
from
commissioner
campbell
commissioner
marwa.
J
Q
J
B
B
B
H
What
I
re
I
move,
I
move
that
we
continue
the
item.
H
B
B
I
don't
know
all
right,
seeing
none
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll
on
the
motion.
Q
J
C
B
Zero
nades
all
right
that
motion
passes.
We
are
now
on
to
our
discussion
items
so
for
our
discussion
items
the
board
will
take
public
testimony.
We
will
deliberate
on
them
and
make
a
decision
after
the
public.
Testimony
has
been
heard
for
each
discussion
item
I'll
close
the
public
hearing
on
that
item.
B
So
we'll
start
with
our
first
discussion
item,
which
is
item,
number
nine
1300,
west,
broadway
and
2011
gerard
avenue,
north
and
2015
gerard
avenue,
north
and
staff
is
lindsay.
Silas.
S
Good
evening,
commissioners,
the
site
before
you,
it
is
three
parcels
the
southernmost
parcel
fronts
on
west
broadway,
which
is
a
goods
and
services
corridor,
and
then
there
are
two
partial
to
the
north,
the
front
on
gerard
avenue
north.
S
Currently,
there
is
a
one-story
commercial
building
on
the
the
southern
parcel
and
a
duplex
on
the
northern
portion
of
the
site.
The
applicant
has
proposed
to
demolish
the
existing
buildings
and
construct
a
new
seven-story
mixed-use
building
with
71
dwelling
units
and
over
14
000
square
feet
of
commercial
space.
S
S
One
interesting
thing
about
the
site
is
that
the
applicant
has
proposed
to
vacate
the
air
rates
above
the
public
alley
that
separates
1300,
west
broadway
from
2011
gerard
avenue,
north,
and
so
the
building
will
basically
be
built
over
the
alley,
with
an
opening
to
allow
traffic
to
continue
using
that
public
alley.
Next
slide,
please:
the
project
requires
a
number
of
land-use
applications,
including
rezoning
all
three
properties
to
c2
the
the
southern
parcel
is
currently
or2
and
then
the
two
northern
parcels
are
r5.
S
The
project
requires
an
administrative
height
increase
to
increase
the
building
height
from
six
stories
to
seven
stories
and
then
site
plan
review
and
that
vacation
that
I
mentioned
next
slide.
Please.
S
So
this
is
the
this
is
an
aerial
view
of
the
site.
Next
slide,
please
and
here's
the
site
plan.
So
you
can
see
how
the
the
public
alley
is
diagonal
at
the
rear
and
then
cuts
between
the
the
the
two
southernmost
parcels.
S
The
northern
portion
would
be
the
daycare
you
can
see
the
yard
for
the
daycare
center
and
the
surface
parking
along
with
the
drop-off
spaces
that
are
proposed
for
the
daycare
child
care
center
and
then
that
northern
or
the
southern
portion
of
the
building
is
what
would
house
the
restaurant,
hair
salon
and
coffee
shop
next
slide.
Please.
S
It
might
be
a
little
hard
to
see
at
this
view,
but
this
is
a
floor
plan
showing
the
internal
layout
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
the
this-
is
the
east
elevations,
which
shows
that
that
cut
out
for
the
maintaining
access
to
the
public
alley
in
between
the
two
portions
of
the
first
floor
of
the
building
and
then
also
showing
the
building
elevation
as
well
and
the
next
three
slides
you
can
just
go
through
quickly.
They're
the
remainder
of
the
elevations.
S
All
right
in
the
next
slide
and
then
rendering
from
the
architect
as
well
in
the
next
slide.
Please
thank
you.
So
staff
is
supportive
of
all
applications
for
this
project.
The
rezoning,
the
all
three
parcels
are
quarter
six
in
the
built
form
map
in
2040,
so
the
height
of
six
stories
is
low
by
right.
The
applicant
again
has
applied
for
an
administrative
height
increase
to
increase
the
height
of
the
building
to
seven
stories.
S
They
have
proposed
the
affordable
housing
to
meet
the
affordable
housing
bonus,
and
that
is
what
what
gets
into
the
seven
stories
proposed
here
in
the
future.
Land
use
map
1300,
west
broadway,
is
guided
for
corridor
mixed
use
and
the
gerard
avenue
properties
are
guided
for
urban
neighborhood
corridor.
Mixed
use,
designation
does
deem
a
commercial
zoning
expansion
appropriate,
especially
where
adjacent
to
a
goods
and
services
corridor.
So
the
proposal
to
rezone
the
entire
site
to
c2
is
compatible
with
the
2040
plan.
S
The
three
yard
variances
staff
does
find
that
there
are
practical
difficulties,
unique
to
the
site
that
result
in
staff
recommending
approval
of
the
yard
variances
west
broadway
is
one
of
the
possible
alignments
for
the
botnet
light
rail
and
so
as
part
of
the
process
of
getting
the
consent
signatures.
S
The
applicant
worked
with
hennepin
county
as
they
needed
consent
signatures
from
hennepin
county
and
as
part
of
that
negotiation,
hennepin
county
requested
an
easement
along
that
south
property
line
along
west
broadway
to
allow
for
additional
flexibility
with
a
potential
street
reconstruction
and
light
rail
alignment
here.
S
In
addition,
this
is
right
on
the
west
broadway
curve,
so
the
applicant
has
proposed
to
set
the
building
back
a
little
bit
farther
to
allow
a
little
bit
additional
flexibility
on
top
of
what
henbin
county
has
requested
and
as
mentioned
that
that
public
alley
does
run
through
the
site
and
is
going
to
be
maintained,
as
is
to
allow
for
the
public
to
continue
using
it
and
that
both
of
those
things
together
do
constrict
the
buildable
area
of
the
site
and
and
and
are
constraining
and
constitute
a
practical
difficulty
for
complying
with
the
yard
requirements
and
the
proposal
staff
finds
that
the
proposed
setbacks
are
reasonable
and
do
allow
for
separation
of
uses
from
the
property
to
the
north.
S
S
B
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any!
So
are
you
here
to
speak
on
this
item,
we're
about
to.
L
B
We
can
okay,
all
right
is
the
applicant
on
the
line
for
this
item.
J
B
B
Okay,
no,
we
want
to
hear
from
the
applicant
team
first
if
they
are
on
the
line.
T
Okay,
I
I
or
demaris
could
could
speak
to
the
project.
I
guess
I
should
ask
if
damaris
wanted
to
speak
or
if
I
wanted
to
speak,
we
didn't
really
go
into
that.
But
the
are
you
on
the
line
tomorrow.
V
Yes
sure
so
I
I
I
don't
know
what
the
the
question
would
be,
but
I
can
just
talk
about
the
design
and
the
the
the
even
the
inspiration
and
the
in
the
really
the
reasoning
behind
us
creating
this
development
on
that
corner.
V
We
started
work
on
this
project,
maybe
two
years
ago
to
it
almost
three
years
ago
and
and
we're
really
hoping
to
create
something
in
north
minneapolis
that
we
don't
see
being
created
today,
which
is
a
high
quality
design,
a
new
and
up-to-date
inventory
of
housing
options
for
the
community,
but
keeping
it
at
an
affordable
rate
or
at
a
rate
that
the
community,
the
local
community,
the
current
community,
can
afford.
V
So
this,
therefore,
we
are
not
directly
or
I
understand
the
layers
of
displacement
and
identification.
So
I'm
saying
directly,
we
are
not
creating
a
displacement
and
notification
in
the
community.
We
sadly
I'll,
say
every
time
you
present
this
project
in
these
last
two
years.
Folks
would
be
shocked
to
see
such
a
beautiful
building
a
blue
design
in
north,
and
that's
exactly
though.
V
Sadly,
I
say
why
don't
we
expect
that
in
broadway,
when
you
see
that
everywhere
else,
but
I
say
that
exactly
what
we
wanted
to
do-
we
wanted
to
raise
the
bar
we
want,
because
we
know
that
that's
the
community
should
have
right.
V
So
we
came
with
the
proposal
for
increasing
height,
so
we
could
increase
the
number
of
units,
especially
because
we
are
dedicating
some
units
and
eon
to
speed
to
that
to
to
deeply
affordable
and
with
some
supporting
services
we
are
promoting
also
the
ownership
of
the
first
floor
from
the
local
business
owners.
V
So
all
of
those
things
once
you
start
working
that
through
a
performer
required
a
little
more
numbers
and
we
were
proposing
before
it's
four
stories.
So
we
we
navigated
to
the
process
of
acquiring
the
extra
credits
for
the
for
the
hiking
trees,
and
it
has
been
a
process
of
two
years
or
so
working
with
county
resorting
county
for
the
ali
vacation
and
and
really
so
we
can.
We
can
stress
the
beauty
across
the
alley
and
again
always
aiming
the
more
units.
We
can
provide
a
lot
of
family
friendly
size
unit.
V
Two
three
bedrooms
as
well,
and
I
think
the
the
beauty
of
this
project
really
is
the
unexpected,
the
quality,
the
absolute
date
and
bit
of
the
art,
quality
of
design
and
housing
for
the
community
at
a
very
affordable
rate,
and
also
the
ownership
opportunity
for
local
business
owners
that
that
get
to
condo
out
their
first
floor,
with
the
support
of
media
already
vetoed
by
media
and
working
with
the
city
for
funds
and
really
creating
some
ending
here
for
wealth
creation
and
social
economic
impact.
In
a
positive
way.
T
So
the
the
thing
about
this,
this
development
was,
we
were
trying
to
really
just
create
a
lot
of
equity
in
north
minneapolis
and
one
of
the
I'm
just
going
to
speak
to
the
commercial
side
for
a
minute
before
we
get
into
the
housing
portion
was
that
it
was
very
important
that
the
people
that
have
businesses
in
north
minneapolis
have
the
ability
to
own
their
own
space
in
north
minneapolis
and
not
just
be
renters,
but
the
owners
so
sally
boyd
is
the
owner
of
a
a
daycare
and
she's
going
to
own
her
own
space
on
the
other
side
of
the
alley
facing
gerard
and
north
of
the
general
site,
and
she
will
own
that
site.
T
T
A
restaurant
he
he
has
service
from
his
home.
He
serves
other
places
and
he'll
own
his
own
space
and
then
there's
a
little
tiny
spot
that
we're
going
to
be
working
with
the
community,
not
the
land
bank,
but
the
commercial
land
bank,
I'm
totally
losing
the
name
of
it.
T
The
I'll
remember
it
later,
but
they're
going
to
have
a
little
carved
out
section
for
a
coffee
shop
so
that
it
could
be
remain
affordable
for
whoever
the
owner
of
that
coffee
shop
would
be
so
we
structured
it
this
way
to
create
that
equity.
We
also
structured
it
that
way,
because
most
people
in
north
are
looking
for
more
housing
options
and
we
didn't
just
build
ones.
T
As
demar
said,
we
built
two
and
three
bedroom
units
so
that
there
are
more,
you
know:
housing
options
for
people
that
aren't
just
looking
for
a
one
bedroom
that
might
have
a
family
that
at
the
same
time,
don't
want
to
move
out
of
the
area
and
don't
necessarily
want
to
take
care
of
a
someone
else's
single-family
home
rental
property.
So
we
structured,
we
structured
it.
This
way
we
have.
We
worked
very
collaboratively
with
our
team.
We
have
a
great
team
that
we
put
together.
T
Trellis
is
wonderful
they're
going
to
be
working
on
the
management
of
the
the
building.
They
have
a
long
history.
They
were
willing
to
partner
with
me.
You
know
a
person
of
color,
that's
new
to
development
and
in
a
way-
and
so
we've
we
put
this
great
project
together.
I'd
be
happy
to
to
talk.
I
don't
know
how
this
works,
but
if
the
person
on
the
line
has
any
specific
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them
and
go
from
there.
B
Thank
you.
We
will
next
move
on
to
our
list
of
registered
speakers,
so
we
have
one
person
registered
and
their
name
is
chris
jones.
So
if
chris
jones
is
on
the
line,
please
press
star
six
state,
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
and
then
please
proceed
with
your
comments.
We'll
keep
comment
time
to
two
minutes.
Please.
X
Okay,
I
did
not
sign
up
to
speak
to
this
when
I'm
to
speak
for
six
three
five
van
buren.
B
Okay,
no
problem:
we
will
see
if
there's
anyone
else
on
the
line.
B
Sorry,
my
microphone
was
going
on
off.
Is
there
anyone
else
on
the
line
who
would
like
to
speak
on?
Item
number?
Nine?
If
so,
you
can
go
ahead,
press
star
six
to
unmute
yourself
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
L
L
L
Anyway,
I'm
bringing
the
concerns
of
the
nerc
board.
The
first
would
be
the
density
without
increasing
the
parking
on
site.
L
Second
comment
would
be
with
regards
to
adding
the
seventh
story
administratively
or,
however
else
using
the
affordable
housing
ratio.
Could
somebody
explain
to
me
that
what
the
50
ami,
how
that
would
make
affordable
house
this
affordable
to
the
residents
in
this
area.
B
All
right
is
there
anyone
else
on
the
line
who
would
like
to
speak
to
item
number
nine.
B
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
so
I
will
and
we've
completed
our
list
of
registered
speakers,
so
I
will
close
the
public
hearing.
Are
there
any
questions
or
discussion
by
the
commission.
H
Here's
a
ford,
okay,
I
wonder
as
a
courtesy
could
they
could
the
staff
explain
the
answer
regarding
the
ami
to
the
listener.
H
How
does
that
relate
to
you
know
what
the
the
median
income
in
hampton
county
and
so
forth
if
it's
easily
available.
K
So
the
applicant
is
providing
affordable
housing
and
getting
the
bonus
by
providing
the
affordable
housing
on
site
as
allowed
through
our
premiums
and
with
the
inclusionary
zoning
requirements.
K
I'm
not
sure
how
many
units
it
comes
out
to
be
again
the
inclusionary
zoning
portion.
That's
in
the
zoning
code,
is
only
threshold,
so
whatever
number
of
units
they
are
required
to
provide,
as
part
of
that
they
are
providing
on
sites
lindsay,
could
maybe
speak
to
this
or
the
applicant.
I
don't
know
if
they
are
seeking
specific
funding
sources
or
subsidies
to
reach
the
50
ami,
but
that
would
be
considered
affordable
under
the
inclusionary
zoning
policy
and
the
unified
housing
plan.
H
I
understand
that,
but
does
somebody
have
you
know
what
what
that
50
works
out
to
be
in
actual
dollars.
S
Perhaps
ian
alexander
could
speak
to
that.
If
he's
still
on
the
line.
T
V
So
for
50
mi,
the
2021
deed
numbers,
so
for
a
one
bedroom,
it's
a
984
dollars
a
month
for
two
bedrooms
is
1181
for
three
bedrooms:
1363.,
those
are
the
rents
for
50
mi.
For
this
year,.
V
B
All
right,
thank
you.
Next
is
commissioner
baxley.
Y
A
much
more
simple,
pragmatic
question:
I
wonder
if
the
demaris
or
the
client
could
just
talk
a
little
bit.
I
think
I
know
how
this
works,
how
garbage
works
for
the
daycare?
Where
does
it
go
and
I'm
assuming
it
comes
out
across
the
vestibule
in
this
store
in
the
garb
trash
room
on
the
other
side
of
the
alley?
Is
that
correct.
V
I'm
sorry
there's
a
delay
on
when
I
push
my
buttons
and
I
can't
speak
yeah.
So
we
cross
the
alley.
There's
a
there's,
a
shared
trash
room
on
this
southern
portion
of
the
building.
On
the
first
floor
and
on
days
of
election,
the
the
character
rolled
out
to
the
front
down
the
alley
for
pickup.
B
Z
Thanks
this
is
my
neighborhood,
so
I'm
happy
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
petition
to
rezone
the
property
at
1300,
west
broadway,
2011
and
2015
gerard
avenue,
north
approving
the
variance
for
the
front
yard
setback,
approving
the
variance
for
the
interior
side
yard
setback,
approving
the
variants
for
the,
inter
both
interior
side
yard
setbacks
and
approving
the
site
plan
review
and
vacating
the
air
rights.
Basically
everything
the
staff
had,
in
that
case.
B
Y
C
Can
you
hear
me
now
rachel?
Yes,
I
can
thank
you,
commissioner
marwah
commissioner
mcguire
bye,
mr
rainville
hi.
B
All
right
that
motion
passes
up
next
is
item
number
11,
2718
grand
avenue
south
and
staff
is
shanna,
sether
good.
AA
That
is
all
to
allow
for
a
new
three-story,
multiple
family
dwelling
with
12
dwelling
units
within
it.
The
subject
site
was
originally
constructed
as
a
single-family
dwelling
prior
to
1885..
That
structure
was
demolished
in
1968
and
the
current
property
is
a
single-family
dwelling
that
was
constructed
in
1981.
AA
The
surrounding
properties
include
a
mix
of
residential
uses
from
single
family
to
large,
multiple
family
dwellings.
The
property
is
two
blocks
east
of
glendale
avenue
south
and
one
and
a
half
blocks
north
of
the
midtown
greenway
whittier
elementary
and
whittier
park
are
located.
One
half
block
north
of
the
subject.
Property
next
slide.
Please.
AA
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
demolish
the
existing
single-family,
drawing
and
construct
a
new
three-story,
multiple
family
dwelling
with
12
units,
the
existing
property
zoned
r2b,
multiple
family
district
and
bfi3
interior
3
built
form
overlay
district.
The
r2b
district
allows
for
multiple
family
dwellings,
but
only
up
to
three
units
in
a
single
residential
structure.
Therefore,
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
rezone
the
subject:
property
from
r2b
to
r3.
AA
And
could
I
have
one
more
advanced
besides?
Thank
you
so
much
one
more.
AA
The
minimum
lot
area
for
for
any
residential
use
in
the
residential
districts
is
5
000
square
feet
and
a
minimum
lot
width
of
40
feet.
The
existing
parcel
is
5174
square
feet
in
area,
so
it
meets
the
midland
area.
However,
the
lot
is
only
38
feet,
5
inches
wide,
and
so,
although
the
existing
lot
width
is
non-conforming
in
a
non-conforming
condition,
it's
that
increase
in
density
that
triggers
the
need
for
the
variance
in
addition
to
the
rezoning
and
the
rezoning
and
variance
applications.
AA
The
app
the
project
was
also
evaluated
through
site
plan
review.
Public
comments
have
been
received.
Since
the
papa
was
published
online.
There
was
one
letter
of
opposition
and
then
one
letter
from
whittier
alliance
with
conditional
support
both
of
those
are
included
in
your
packets.
Today,
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
the
three
requested
land
use
applications
based
on
the
following
findings.
AA
AA
The
built
form
interior
designation
is
interior
3,
which
allows
for
a
variety
of
building
types
with
one
to
three
stories.
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
construct
the
new
three-story
residential
building
with
12
units.
The
property
has
access
to
goods
and
services
along
a
high
frequency
transit
on
lindell
avenue,
south
and
nicolet,
which
is
four
blocks
to
the
east.
AA
Therefore,
it's
consistent
with
a
comprehensive
plan
from
r2b
to
r3
staff
finds
that
the
proposed
rezoning
is
not
solely
within
the
interest
of
the
property
owner
and
is
consistent
with
the
policies
of
the
comprehensive
plan
that
act
that
call
for
increased
access
to
housing
and
transit
oriented
development,
particularly
where
near
goods
and
service
corridors
staff
finds
that,
while
there
are
reasonable
uses
that
exist
in
the
current
zoning
again,
the
proposed
rezoning
allows
for
uses
more
compatible
or
more
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
AA
The
comprehensive
plan
was
adopted
december
18th
of
2020.
Later
we
approved
as
a
city
the
built
form
in
built
form
overlaid
districts.
Presently,
the
city
is
undergoing
a
rezoning
study
to
update
the
primary
zoning
classifications
to
be
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
So
that's
a
process
that
is
currently
underway
and
should
take
about
another
year
to
complete.
So
that's
why
the
applicant
is
required
to
seek
the
rezoning
today.
AA
Staff
finds
that
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
utilize
the
property
in
a
reasonable
manner,
consistent
with
the
spirit
intent
of
the
org
nets.
So
in
this
case
the
minimum
lot
width,
we
would
want
to
ensure
that
minimum
yards
are
meant
minimum
maximum
impervious
surface
maximum
lock
coverage
some
of
the
unique
aspects
to
a
parcel
that
would
be
evaluated
to
ensure
compatibility.
AA
Lastly,
staff
finds
that
the
granting
of
this
variance
to
reduce
the
minimum
lot
width
will
not
be
injurious
to
the
use
enjoyment
of
other
property
in
the
vicinity,
as
previously
mentioned,
the
minimum
lot
area
yard
bulk
requirements
are
on
that
for
the
lot,
and
this
lot
has
remained
in
its
same
size
for
over
137
years.
AA
AA
So
the
applicant
is
seeking
alternative
compliance
first
off
for
blank
walls
along
the
north
elevation
first
floor,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
that
red
box
there
staff
is
recommending
as
a
condition
of
approval,
that
all
blink
walls
be
mitigated
either
through
a
combination
of
windows,
entries
recesses
change
of
materials,
something
along
those
those
lines
the
applicant
is
agrees
and
to
comply
with
that
condition.
AA
Next
slide,
please,
the
windows
on
this
elevation
on
the
north
elevation
as
well
are
they're,
more
squat
and
square
in
proportion,
and
so
the
code
asks
that
windows
be
more
vertical
in
proportion
and
so
that's
an
evenly
distributed.
I
would
say
the
windows
are
more
or
less
evenly
distributed,
but
they
are
they're
a
little
short,
so
the
applicant
has
also
agreed
to
comply
with
that
condition.
Next
slide,
please
and
then,
because
the
proposed
multiple
family
dwelling
does
not
have
any
off
street
parking
proposed.
AA
They
are
required
to
provide
a
drop-off
space
for
temporary
pickup
and
drop
off
and
clearly
labeled
and
be
and
have
an
accessible
route
to
an
entrance
to
to
the
to
the
primary
entrance
to
the
structure.
So
in
this
case
this
particular
lot
does
not
have
alley
access
and
to
require
driveway
access
to
a
parking
space
that
is
a
permitted
location,
would
trigger
a
number
of
variances.
So
staff
is
recommending
that
the
planning
commission
grant
alternative
compliance.
In
this
case.
AA
B
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
next,
I'm
going
to
open
the
public
hearing.
If
the
applicant
is
on
the
line
to
speak
up
about
this
item,
you
can
do
so
now.
Press
star
six

yourself,
state
your

minutes.
Please.
X
Hi
everyone-
this
is
adam
jonas
architect,
on
the
project,
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
he's
also
present,
and
can
chime
in
as
need
be.
Thank
you
everyone
for
being
here
and
listening
to
the
project
and
the
discussion.
I
just
want
to
quick
check
in
that
you're
hearing
me.
Okay,.
X
Thank
you,
the
we're
very
excited
about
this
project.
It's
our
first
together
and
we
I
want
to
quickly
address
three
big
picture
concepts
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
here.
Those
three
are
talking
about:
housing,
the
environment
and
community.
X
The
current
housing
shortage
in
minneapolis
is
a
an
issue
that
we're
seeking
to
address
here
by
obviously
placing
replacing
one
dwelling
unit
with
12
and
we've
been
in
contact
with
council
member
chug
thai,
as
well
as
the
whittier
alliance,
talking
through
the
affordability
issues
and
the
housing
issues
in
the
this
specific
community,
and
so
we're
working
looking
into
the
missing
middle
pilot
program,
as
well
as
the
40
program,
to
better
understand
our
options
for
that.
X
So,
while
this
project
isn't
technically
required
to
meet
affordability
requirements
as
it's
under
20
units,
we're
very
aware
of
this
situation
and
are
trying
to
best
find
the
best
fit
for
the
project
to
meet
deeper
levels
of
affordability,
so
just
wanted
to
bring
that
to
the
community's
attention
and
within
the
context
of
the
zoning.
We
also
just
want
to
acknowledge
that,
as
shannon
mentioned.
There's
a
process
here,
that's
occurring
where
things
are
changing
throughout
the
city.
X
X
So
we're
going
to
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
integrate
that
change
throughout
the
community
and
we
feel
like
how
how
we
can
best
help
smooth
that
transition
is
to
engage
with
the
community
in
an
environmentally
active
way
in
terms
of
environmental
action.
This
project
intends
to
lead
the
way
to
a
fossil
fuel
free
future.
X
Not
only
is
that
a
city
goal,
but
I
think,
as
those
who
are
altering
our
built
fabric,
we
have
a
responsibility
to
take
leadership
in
that,
and
so
this
building
specifically
is
well
located
and
suited
to
promote
multimodal
transit
being
near
many
transit
corridors,
as
well
as
the
greenway
bike
corridor,
we'll
be
transitioning
to
all
electric
energy.
X
Here
the
solar
panels
were
mentioned,
but
appliances
and
hvac
systems
will
be
working
in
conjunction
with
that
electric
energy
source
working
to
promote
composting
and
recycling,
as
well
as
on-site,
stormwater
management
and
restorative
habitat,
there's
several
examples
of
that
which
should
be
happy
to
delve
into.
But
I
think
some
of
these
also
overlap
with
this
idea
of
community
engagement.
X
Can
the
impacts
of
a
building
extend
beyond
its
walls
and
in
this
project,
that's
the
intent
to
try
to
bridge
the
space
physically,
as
well
as
metaphorically,
between
the
public
and
private
in
a
positive
way
that
helps
to
get
neighbors
to
know
one
another.
So
we're
looking
at
shareable
amenities,
including
e-bikes
and
cargo
bikes,
again
promoting
multi-modal
transit,
that's
not
car
dependent,
but
also
looking
into
electric
vehicle
charger
in
the
public
right-of-way.
Currently,
that's
not
a
permitable
use.
X
Edible
landscapes
are
an
important
part
of
the
front
yard
greeting
both
residents
and
the
neighborhood
with
apple
trees.
Raspberry
bushes,
raised
garden
beds
can
help
support
means
of
further
engagement.
Think
planting
or
harvest
celebrations
the
building,
also
unlike
its
predecessor,
that
one
multi-story
building
is
ada
accessible.
X
All
the
there's
four
units
on
the
ground
floor
that
will
be
of
type
a
and
b
and
so
promoting
that
accessibility
throughout
the
site
as
well
and
then
other
kind
of
community
organized
events
that
might
occur,
but
looking
into
a
csa
pickup
site,
as
well
as
incorporating
local
businesses
and
artists
into
helping
create
some
of
these
things,
both
in
the
front
yard,
as
well
as
the
building
facade.
X
So
I
just
want
to
conclude
by
again
thanking
everyone
for
supporting
the
the
process
here,
and
this
is
a
again
our
first
project.
So
we
are
very
open
to
feedback
and
look
forward
to
other
ways
of
working
together
to
achieve
deeper
affordability,
a
positive
environmental
impact
and
providing
community
resources
for
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
B
We
will
continue
our
public
hearing
with
our
list
of
registered
speakers,
and
so
I
think
we
have
one
more
on
the
list
brit
with
no
last
name.
If
brit
is
on
the
line,
please
go
ahead.
Press
star
six
to
unmute
yourself
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Keep
your
comments
to
two
minutes.
Please.
M
M
They
realize
how
difficult
parking
already
is,
and
so
I
like
hearing
the
last
speaker,
who
was
on
saying
that
he
wanted
to
do
as
much
as
he
could
for
the
community
so
providing
off
street
parking,
maybe
doing
like
an
underground
parking
structure
or
something
would
be
great
and
also
I
love
the
environmental
aspect
of
that,
because
having
people
drive
around
for
blocks
and
blocks
trying
to
find
places
to
park
definitely
does
hurt
the
environment.
So
I
appreciate
considering
building
off
street
parking
because
that's
massive
there's
also
the
issue.
M
B
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
Is
there
anyone
else
on
the
line
who
has
not
registered
to

AB
Oh,
my
name
is
tom.
Can
you
hear
me
we
can
I'm
I
own
27,
20
grand
you
know,
and
if
these
developers
they
want
to
come
into
these
cities
and
they
think
they
want
to
do
something
so
good
to
them.
I
think
they
should
live
on
that
street
and
see
what
it's
like
after
they're
done.
Like
britney
says
these
streets
are
jammed
and
you're
going
to
throw
more
out
there,
and
then
this
is
not
right.
B
B
All
right,
I'm
not
hearing
anyone
else,
so
I'm
going
to
close
the
public
hearing.
Commissioners.
Is
there
any
discussion
or
would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion.
Z
Thanks,
I
think
my
one
comment
about
it.
Is
I
really
oh
my
gosh,
I'm
sorry.
I
really
do
think
that
one
elevation
that
staff
showed
does
need
some
work.
I
know
that
there's
the
code
requirements
for
the
windows,
but
I
would
just
ask
the
developer
to
go
above
and
beyond,
because
I
think
the
number
of
windows
on
that
elevation
were
kind
of
sad
and,
if
you're
trying
to
create
a
really
livable
community
light,
is
so
important
to
how
we
live
and
function
besides
that
there's
no
parking
minimum.
Z
So
I
understand
the
residents
are
upset,
but
that's
not
something
we
can
require.
So
with
that,
I
would
make
a
motion.
Z
Do
you
want
me
to
stop,
commissioner?
No,
you,
okay,
okay,
yeah,
okay!
I
would
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
staff
recommendations
at
grand
avenue
south
to
rezone
the
property,
the
variance
and
the
site
plan
review
all
right.
D
Thanks,
I
just
want
to
say
I
appreciate
the
the
comments
about
parking
and
also
that
the
developer
plans
to
do
around
sustainability,
and
one
thing
that
I
know
I'm
like
a
broken
record
with
this,
but
I
would
just
like
to
mention
the
residential
pass
program.
I
think
this
could
alleviate
some
of
the
issues
that
expressed
by
neighbors.
D
B
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Alpher
commissioners.
Is
there
any
discussion?
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
table.
Any
discussion
before
we
call
the
role.
C

AA
AA
The
first
is
a

The
second
application
that
is
required
is
a
site
plan
review
application,
and
these
applications
are
both
to
allow
for
a
new
four-story
residential
building
with
23
dwelling
units.
AA

The
properties
in
the
area
south

broadway
street
northeast

north
of

west
of
central

are
predominantly
single

a
mix
of
commercial,
industrial
and
low

little
bit
further
to
the
east.
AA
The
property
is
immediately
adjacent

AA
AA
The
project
would
have
a
combination
of
one

units
and
one
bedroom
plus
den.
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
have
a
bicycle
room
on

it
would
have
sufficient
space
for
36

built
form
overlay
district.
The
r1a
district
allows
for
up
to
three
dwelling
units
in
a
single
residential
structure.
Therefore,
the
applicant
is
seeking
to
rezone
the
property
from
r1a
to
r3.
To
allow
for
the
proposed
23-unit
building
staff
is
received
a
number
of
public
comments,
predominantly
in
opposition
to
the
project.
There
are
a
couple
that
have
been
included
in
the
public
record
that
were
for
support.
AA
The
public
comments
have
been
both
attached
to
the
staff
report
and
then
a
number
of
comments
were
also
added
to
the
public
record
today.
In
addition
to
that,
the
applicant
also
has
additional
response
that
was
included
in
the
packet
today
related
to
the
site
plan
review,
alt

thought
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
the
two
requested
land
use
applications.
AA
AA
AA
The
property
has
a
future
land
use
designation
of
urban
neighborhood,
which
allows
for
a
variety
of
residential
uses
at
different
densities.
The
property
is
one
half
block
to
the
east
of
central
avenue
northeast

two
blocks
south
of
broadway
street
northeast.
Both
of
these
are

generally
encourage
large

greater

allows
for
buildings
of
at
least
two
stories
in
height,
but
not

with
a
maximum
height
of

and
the
proposed

AA
AA
The
aveline
is
proposing
to
construct
a
new
four-story
residential
building
with

AA
AA
Under
the
third
finding
the
properties
west
of
central
avenue,
northeast
and
south
of
broadway
street
northeast,
these
are
both
goods
and

include

combination
of

east
of

are
generally
zoned

which
is
a

Industrial
district
and
i2
medium
industrial
district.
AA
There
are
properties
northwest
of
the
site
at
718
van
buren
and
705
jackson
that
are
zoned
r5.
Those
are
existing
multiple
family
dwellings
with
12
units
each
there
are
properties
along
the
south
along
spring
street
at
809
spring
street
northeast,
which
is
a
189
unit,
multiple
family
apartment
building
and
then
or
I'm
sorry,
that's
at
e28
spring
street
and
then
there's
a
32
unit
apartment
building
at
809
spring
street.
So
the
properties
in
the
immediate
area
are
predominantly
single
and
two
family
dwellings
and
they
are
zoned
r1a
and
r2b.
AA
The
existing
rwne
district
only
permits
a
multiple
family
dwelling
up
to
three
dwelling
units
where
more
density
is
supported
in
proximity
to
two
goods
and
services
corridors
and
a
build
form
designation
of
corridor
six
under
the
fourth
finding
staff
finds
that,
while
there
are
reasonable
uses
allowed
in
the
rna
district,
the
r1a
district
prohibits
multiple
family
dwellings
with
more
than
with
at
least
four
dwelling
units,
even
though
the
property
is
designated
as
corridor
six
and
near
two
goods
and
services
corridors
under
the
fifth
finding
the
we
state
that
the
comprehensive
plan
adopted
in
2020
included
or
I'm
sorry,
the
comprehensive
plan
was
adopted
in
yes,
early
2020
and
then
later
adopted,
built
form
overlay
districts
and
associated
amendments
to
reflect
policies
in
2040..
AA
We
are
in
the
process
of
updating
our
primary
districts
and
that
process
will
take
about
one
more
year,
so
we're
hoping
that
will
be
that
will
be
concluded
next
year.
The
future
land
use
designation
is
urban,
neighborhood
and
corridor.
Six
is
the
built
form
guidance
which
support
multiple
families
owning,
therefore,
staff
again
finds
that
the
r3
district
is
consistent
with
a
comprehensive
plan.
AA
This
is
a
view
of
the
proposed
site
plan.
You
can
see
that
there
is
a
public
alley
to
the
east
van
buren
street
to
the
west.
There
would
be
a
pedestrian
and
bicycle
access
from
the
public
sidewalk
from
the
west,
as
well
as
from
the
east
from
the
public
alley.
AA
AA
And
the
applicant
is
not
seeking
any
variances
next
slide.
Please
here
are
the
building
elevations,
which
are
included
in
your
packet
and
next
slide.
Please
and
through
site
plan
review,
now
go
over
the
alternative
compliance
requested
by
the
applicant
first.
There
are
blank
walls
on
that
first
floor,
north
elevation,
you
can
see
in
that
red
box
there
that
building
wall
length
is
31
feet
in
length.
AA
AA
The
first
floor
elevation
facing
van
buren,
so
the
bottom,
the
first
floor
of
what
you're
seeing
here
has
a
minimum
window
percentage
requirement
of
20.
What's
shown
here
is
12
as
we
don't
count
windows
in
glass
doors.
AA
The
applicant
intends
to
comply
with
the
minimum
20
windows
staff
also
notes
that
this
abbreviation
here
september
cpted
is
crime
prevention
through
environmental
design.
It's
another
reason
why
we
require
windows,
particularly
facing
a
public
pathway
in
order
to
increase
national
surveillance
and
visibility.
So
again,
the
applicant
intends
to
comply
with
this
condition
or
the
condition
of
meeting
the
window
requirement
next
time.
Please.
AA
This
is
the
first
floor
floor
plan
at
the
north
west
corner
you'll,
see
that
there
is
a
bike
room
proposed
kind
of
towards
the
middle
there
and
on
the
planet.
It's
on
your
left
hand,
side
you'll,
see
that
there's
an
entrance
that
accesses
stairs
that
go
up
to
the
upper
floor
units
and
then
there
is
a
dwelling
unit
here
at
the
southwest
corner
of
the
structure
bottom
left.
AA
If
you're
looking
at
the
plan
view,
staff
does
a
measurement
for
the
the
width
of
the
facade
to
determine
what
percentage
of
the
first
floor
facing
van
buren
contains
active
functions
and
the
best
the
easiest
explanation
for
what
is
active
and
what
is
not
is
is
it
storage,
and
so
the
applicant
is
showing
a
bike
room
in
that
northeast
corner
and
then
some
mechanicals
as
well,
and
a
bike
wash
those
are
not
really
deemed
to
be
active
functions.
AA
It's
really
more
of
a
bicycle
storage
area
and
then
also
staff
notes
that
alternative
compliance
is
required
through
crime
prevention
through
environmental
design,
so
without
having
more
activity
within
a
storage
space
you're
losing
that
opportunity
for
for
natural
surveillance
and
visibility.
AA
On
the
first
floor,
facing
van
buren,
so
staff
is
recommending
that
the
applicant
provide
the
minimum
active
functions
along
van
buren,
we've
offered
a
suggestion,
perhaps
relocate
the
bicycle
storage
area
to
the
rear
of
the
structure
the
applicant
is
still
con,
is
still
requesting
alternative
compliance
and
they
will
speak
to
that
during
their
presentation.
Next
slide.
Please.
AA
This
application
does
not
have
minimum
offstring
parking,
provided,
therefore,
a
drop-off
space
is
required
and
that
drop-off
space
shall
be
for
temporary
drop
off
and
pick
up
spaces
and
shall
be
labeled
as
such,
and
then
an
accessible
route
would
need
to
be
provided.
So
the
applicant
is
not
proposing
to
provide
the
drop-off
space.
Providing
the
drop-off
space
would
likely
require
additional
variances
based
on
the
design
or
would
require
changes
potentially
to
the
to
the
structure.
AA
So,
therefore,
staff
is
recommending
alternative
compliance
next
side,
please
canopy
trees,
there's
a
minimum
of
two
canopy
trees
required.
The
applicant
intends
to
comply
with
this
condition.
Next
slide.
Please,
and
then
here
are
some
additional
recommendations
that
you'll
find
in
the
conditions
of
approval
staff,
notes
that
the
first
floor
for
the
majority
of
the
first
floor
on
the
north,
the
south
and
the
east
elevations,
is
shown
as
metal
panel
down
to
the
to
the
grade.
AA
In
order
to
ensure
the
durability
of
that
metal
panel
staff
is
recommending
that
the
applicant
provide
a
masonry
base
of
at
least
24
inches
due
to
our
climate
and
and
if
snow
is
packed
up
against
it.
We
wouldn't
want
to
see
the
exterior
materials
degrade
faster
than
what
would
normally
be
expected.
AA
Next
is
a
concrete
masonry
unit
shall
not
be
allowed.
There
is
a
portion
of
the
rear
elevation
where
adjacent
to
the
proposed
transformer,
so
staff
is
recommending
that
concrete
masonry
units
not
be
allowed
any
signage
would
have
to
comply
with
chapter
543
of
the
zoning
code.
This
is
a
residential
district,
even
as
proposed
and
variances
are
not
permitted,
so
they
would
just
have
to
comply
with
any
signage
and
that
the
trash
enclosure
be
two
feet
taller
than
the
storage
containers.
AA
AA
B
We're
gonna
start
the
public
hearing
and
I
will
call
on
you
and
you'll
have
two
minutes
when
it's
your
turn
to
make
comments.
It's
not
a
question
and
an
answer,
but
we'll
get
to
that
in
just
a
second
okay.
So,
let's
see
we're
going
to
open
the
public
hearing
is
the
applicant
here
to
speak
on
this
item.
If
so,
you
can
press
star
six
to
unmute
yourself,
get
your
name
and
address
for
the
record,
and
please
keep
your
comments
to
ten
minutes.
Please.
P
B
X
I
continue
with
my
brief
statement,
my
architect
sent
through
a
document
and
she
registered
for
the
meeting,
with
four
kind
of
visual
slides
to
accompany
what
I'll
be
saying
I
so
with
the
lag.
I
can't
see
if
you
have
that
up,
but
I
would
just
ask
that
you
put
that
up
for
the
commissioners
now,
if
you
you
do,
have
it
and
I'll
just
say
next
slide.
If
it's
up
and
if
it's
not,
you
can
just
ignore
me.
X
So
I
thank
you.
Everyone
for
taking
the
time
both
commissioners
for
the
great
report
in
summary
shanna
and
for
community
members
that
are
gonna,
get
a
chance
to
weigh
in
on
this
project.
This
is
important
stuff
and
it's
contentious
stuff
in
my
case
here-
and
I
appreciate
everybody
investing
their
evening
in
this.
So
the
applicant
statement
that
I
provided
is
included
on
page
18
of
the
staff
report
highlights
the
extremely
ambitious
carbon
reduction
and
energy
efficiency
sustainability
goals
for
the
project,
and
they
are
very
ambitious.
X
And
so
I
encourage
anybody
that
is
not
familiar
with
the
project
already
whether
you're
dialing
in
from
the
community
or
to
pull
open
the
staff
report
and
look
at
page
18
there.
While
I
speak
to
some
of
the
other
and
focus
on
some
of
the
other
issues
at
hand
more
specifically,
but
I'm
not
going
to
rehash
those,
because
I
know
a
number.
X
X
The
commissioners
are
familiar
so
I'll
proceed
on
other
topics
so
upon
reviewing
cped
staff
report,
as
shaina
alluded
to
we,
the
recommended
conditions
for
approval
of
our
proposed
site
plan
were,
in
you
know,
support
and
agreements
with
vast
majority
of
conditions,
one
through
three
and
six
and
ten,
and
as
alluded
to
we're
already
in
the
progress
or
process
of
versus
divisions,
to
the
design
to
address
those
issues.
The
non-conforming
issues
related
to
uninterrupted
walls.
Well,
that
was
number
three
glazing:
number
seven
and
canopy
trees
number
eight.
X
Those
were
really
just
misinterpretations
on
our
part
that
we
weren't,
aware
of
and
were
happy
to
to
address
quickly
and
already
have
specifically.
We
we
request
that
the
planning
commission
strike
or
amend
conditions
number
four
and
five
as
outlined
by
the
staff,
so
condition
four
is
having
at
least
70
percent
of
the
first
four
building
frontage
facing
the
public
street
being
an
active
function.
X
We
totally
agree
with
that
in
spirit,
but
we
ask
to
strike
or
amend
this
condition
in
the
interest
specifically
of
cyclist
safety
and
also
advancing
city
competent
policy
number
19,
which
seeks
to
improve
and
expand
bicycle
facility
bicycle
facilities
to
encourage
bicycling
as
a
mode
of
transportation
as
envisioned
the
the
bike
and
pet
hub
in
the
building
is
meant
to
be
a
primary
entrance
and
an
active
space
for
a
building
that
is
truly
designed
from
the
ground
up
for
cyclists
per
the
staff
report.
X
We
feel
strongly,
however,
that
the
bike
and
pet
hub
space
has
been
misdesignated
as
a
non-active
function.
They
get
provided
some
really
insightful
feedback
just
in
terms
of
the
configuration
and
glazing
and
how
basically
it
didn't.
It
didn't
really
activate
the
the
front
of
the
building
from
a
pedestrian
perspective
in
the
way
that
that
the
you
know
the
code
articulates
and
envisions,
and
we
do
feel
with
the
change
changes
required
to
comply
with
conditions.
X
That's
going
to
be
added
there
that
we,
we
really
feel
like
it'll.
You
know
activate
the
area
for
passing
pedestrians
and
community,
far
more
than
first
floor
resident
residential
units
in
that
space
would
be
with
drawn
shades
for
privacy.
X
So
the
the
second
slide
in
what
was
submitted
there
kind
of
shows
basically
shows
the
the
front
of
the
building
and
what
kind
of
the
interior
of
the
space
would
look
like.
But
we
want
to
make
further
revisions
to
really
make
this
space
work
from
an
activation
perspective.
X
The
the
hub,
also,
we
feel,
will
be
exactly
the
type
of
thoughtful
design
called
for
in
minneapolis
2040
policy
19
per
the
comp
plan.
Facilities
like
this
are
critical.
If
we
want
to
reach
the
goal
of
50
bicycle
mode
share
by
2025
and
making
bicycling
attractive
to
more
people,
will
improve
health
support
our
local
economy
and
help
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
via
reduced
vehicle
trips.
X
But
where
are
our
fear?
Is
that
if
this
condition
is
approved
and
the
room
continues
to
be
designated
as
inactive,
despite
some
modifications
to
make
it
more
active,
that
will
be
required
to
move
this
this
hub
to
the
to
the
rear
of
the
building,
and
that
change
I
feel
quite
strongly
would
have
grave
implications
for
cyclist
safety
and
would
discourage
winter
cycling.
X
Specifically,
I
mean,
has
we've
been
very,
very
focused
on
trying
to
make
this
a
cycling
oriented
building,
and
so
you
know
observing
alley,
condition
street
and
sidewalk
conditions
over
the
course
of
the
winter.
It
became
very
clear
to
us
in
the
design
team
that
having
cyclists
access
the
bike
center
from
van
buren
street
is
essential
for
both
safety
and
accessibility.
X
X
I
can
speak
from
personal
experience
as
a
winter
cyclist
that
I
have
fallen
multiple
times
on
narrow
alleys,
while
on
ice
trying
to
react
to
passing
cars
that
are
confined
to
the
the
roughs,
the
ice
ruts
or
cars
that
are
backing
out
of
driveways,
and
you
know
when
you're
reacting
on
ice,
it's
a
lot
tougher
and
that
condition
will
be
inevitable
if
the
alley
becomes
the
primary
access
for
bikes
into
the
building,
so
just
to
ensure
that
the
hub
is
not
forced
to
be
moved
to
the
rear
of
the
building.
X
We
ask
that
the
planning
commission
strike
or
amend
condition
for
knowing
that
we
really
plan
on
working
with
staff
to
to
activate
and
meet
the
intent
of
an
active
space
and
active
use
with
that
additional
four
or
four
feet
to
meet
the
requirement
on
condition.
Five.
That's
about
ensuring
the
durability
of
exterior
materials
requiring
that
we
provide
a
masonry
base
around
the
the
full
perimeter
of
the
building
up
to
24
inches
above
grade.
X
We
ask
that
the
planning
commission
strikes
this
condition
or
at
a
minimum,
amend
it
to
something
less
than
24
inches,
to
reduce
what
is
a
quantifiable
and
substantial
carbon
emissions
impact
of
requiring
this
condition.
So,
given
the
city's
comp
plan
climate
and
carbon
reduction
commitments,
we
ask
that,
at
a
minimum,
any
approval
of
this
condition
be
based
on
facts
and
data.
X
We
urge
you
to
take
a
data
informed
decision
on
this,
based
on
a
handful
of
criteria
that
I'll
walk
through
here.
Of
course,
there's
a
variety
of
others
that
people
could
propose
to
consider,
but,
specifically,
it
suggests
carbon
emissions,
the
durability
of
the
material
to
whether
building
science
and
the
probability
of
snow
accumulation.
X
So,
on
the
carbon
emissions
topic
over
the
next
10
years,
carbon
emissions
that
we
emit
over
the
next
10
years
are
going
to
have
an
outsized
impact
on
whether
we
will
avoid
the
worst
effects
of
climate
change
and
replacing
just
576
square
feet
of
aluminum
cladding.
That
is
proposed
around
the
bottom
of
the
building,
with
brick.
Masonry
will
result
in
an
additional
2.2
metric
tons
of
co2
equivalent
emissions
in
2022,
and
that's
completely
brick
has
over
three
times
the
global
warming
potential
of
the
aluminum
cladding.
X
That's
proposed,
and
you
know
just
rarely
in
everyday
life.
Do
individuals
have
the
power
to
prevent
over
two
metric
tons
of
carbon
emissions
with
a
single
decision,
and
the
planning
commission
has
that
power
here,
and
so
the
question
is
that
I
think,
at
least
for
me
is:
are
the
added
emissions
worth
the
durability
benefits?
So
when
we
think
about
the
question
of
mature
material
durability,
industry
estimates
of
the
lifespan
of
brick
and
aluminum
cladding
vary
for
aluminum.
It's
z
ranges
of
40
to
60
years,
with
50
being
most
common
for
brick.
X
It's
86
to
100
years,
with
100
being
the
most
common.
So
clearly,
brick
is
a
more
durable
long-term
than
than
aluminum.
In
the
you
know,
the
brick
industry
association
puts
those
figures
at
100
years
per
brick
in
60
years
for
aluminum,
but
the
consensus
is
that
both
of
those
materials
are
protective
and
among
the
most
protective
against
moisture
resistant
to
weather,
fire
and
other
damage
from
work
and
weather
impact.
X
The
next
criteria
I
would
suggest
matters
in
this
decision
is
building
science.
Our
proposed
wall
assembly
is
consistent
along
with
the
rest
of
the
building,
with
building
science.
Best
practices
for
durability,
as
articulated
by
leading
institutions
like
the
building
science
corporation
and
passive
house
institute
in
u.s,
and
our
proposed
wall
assembly,
which
the
document
that
you
I
submitted
with
the
statement
today
includes
for
the
commissioners,
has
multiple
layers
of
defense
against
weather
and
moisture
intrusion
to
ensure
the
structural
wood
framing
and
cavity
insulation
stay
dry
and
dry
quickly.
X
I've
included
a
historical
analysis
by
the
minnesota
dnr
that
covers
1900
to
2015,
snow
accumulation
levels
and
basically,
the
this
shows
that,
historically
speaking,
anyway,
the
probability
that
peak
snow
accumulation
levels
ever
exceeding
12
inches
in
the
twin
cities
is
less
than
five
percent,
and
so
you
know
with
that,
I
mean
we're
with
increasing
free
spot
cycles
that
we're
facing
snow
accumulation
to
the
level
of
24
inches
will
be
increasingly
less
probable,
as
climate
continues
to
change
in
our
state.
X
I
I
do
just
want
to
speak
with
I'll,
take
30
seconds
to
just
say
that
I
understand,
and
I
think
it's
understandable-
the
strong
community
opposition
to
the
type
of
scale
of
development
called
for
on
van
buren
street
by
the
city's
comprehensive
plan,
particularly
among
owner
occupants
of
single-family
homes
in
the
area,
and
though
my
proposed
four-story
project
is
considerably
less
than
the
comp
plans
allowable
six
stories.
I
think
it's
completely
understandable
why
they
would
oppose
this
project
as
well.
X
But
I
would
just
say
that,
with
40
of
carbon
emissions
globally
coming
from
buildings,
the
next
10
years
is
a
critical
window
for
the
planet.
What
we
build,
how
we
build
it
and
where
we
build
the
housing
stock
that
we
need
in
the
next
decade,
we'll
be
decisive
and
whether
or
not
we
avoid
the
worst
of
impacts
of
climate
change
and
those
things
are
also
going
to
be
decisive
on
whether
in
our
community.
Here
you
know,
we
we
adapt
and
react
and
address
the
issues
of
climate
justice
and
resilience
in
our
community.
X
In
a
way.
That's
that's
fair
and
I
think
a
just
and
resilient
response
to
our
climate
and
housing
crisis
requires
the
kinds
of
changes
to
historic
development
patterns
that
are
outlined
in
the
city's
comp
plan.
So
with
that
I'll
I'll
wrap
up-
and
I
thank
you
all
for
hearing
me
out
on
this
project-.
B
Thank
you.
We're
gonna
have
a
few
commissioner
questions
quick
before
we
continue
with
the
public
hearing.
Sorry,
commissioners,
I
missed
your
messages,
but
we'll
go
and
order.
Commissioner
mcguire.
Z
Thanks:
okay,
two
quick
questions
for
staff
was
this:
one
of
the
parcels
that
would
have
been
re
would
be
rezoned
proactively,
with
the
rezoning
study.
AA
The
entire
city
is
going
to
be
evaluated
through
the
rezoning
study
for
primary
districts,
so
I
would
say
every
parcel
is
up
for
review
to
be
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
that
it's
so
early
in
the
process
that
it
would
be
difficult
for
me
to
say
what
that
would
look
like
in
the
future,
because
we
certainly
don't
have
that
framework
established.
AA
Yet
so
the
guidance
that
we
have
specific
to
the
site
relates
to
policies
related
to
transferring
to
development,
goods
and
services
corridor,
and
you
know
that
corridor
six
built
form
overlay
district
designation
as
well
as
it
being
urban
neighborhood.
So
those
are
the
policies
we
have
available
to
us
right
right
now
for
evaluation.
Z
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
confirm.
There
are
other
options
besides
brick
in
the
city
code
for
durability,
correct
so
that
binary
choice
he
was
describing
is
not
the
oh.
Those
are
not
the
only
two
options:
correct.
AA
Absolutely
we
at
no
point
indicated
brick,
we
said
masonry,
so
that
allows
for
flexibility
in
a
more
more
of
a
durable
material.
The
only
other
the
only
caveat
to
that
is.
We
have
also
stated
as
a
condition
of
approval,
that
concrete
masonry
units
are
not
to
be
utilized.
Z
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
sorry,
one
more
question:
could
staff
tell
me
just
quickly
what's
if
what
you
have
seen
change
since
the
community
input,
because
I'm
assuming
you've
seen
iterations
as
well,
have
you
seen
it
improved
since
the
community
input
sessions
as
far
as
the
design
of
the
building
goes
correct?
Yes,
I'm
sure
there
was
a
lot
about
parking
that,
obviously
they
didn't
add,
but
were
there
other
things
they
did
add
based
on
neighborhood
feedback.
AA
A
lot
of
the
neighborhood
communication
happened
before
the
application
was
officially
submitted,
so
I
think
that
the
applicant
is
probably
best
to
address
those
those
details.
I
will
say
that
the
application
when
submitted
to
the
city
was
incomplete,
so
they
were
sorry
just
a
moment.
AA
This
long
without
the
dog
barking.
Okay,
I'm
sorry
apologize,
okay,
as
long
as
I
pet
him
he's
fine.
Okay,
sorry!
So
as
far
as
the
design
changes
the
applicant
can
best
address
it.
However,
the
application
was
incomplete
when
they
originally
submitted
it.
There
were
some
issues
related
to
setbacks
and
things
so
they
had.
They
did
address
those
variants.
Issues
that
I
can
I
can
testify.
AA
Z
G
Thank
you.
So
I
will
have
some
comments
after
the
public
as
well,
but
prior
to
that
there
was
a
shared
alley
and
I'm
forgetting
the
legal
term
when
people
share
that
space
for
a
period
of
years
has
that
issue
been
resolved,
so
this
building
does
not
interfere
with
going
into
that
alley.
G
Maybe
if
the
applicant
could
address
that,
please.
X
Okay,
yes,
thank
you
for
the
question
so
that
when
this
the
comment
was
submitted
for
a
public
record.
That
was
when
I
first
became
aware
of
it
and
shanna
passed
that
along
to
us.
We,
I
honestly
it
was
an
oversight
and
weren't
aware
of
the
issue
with
our
original
site
plan
proposal.
X
X
It
would
definitely
prevent
technically
theoretically
possible
to
pull
a
truck
into
the
second
garage
door
of
the
garage,
but
it
would
it
would
probably
it
would
materially
impact
its
use.
So
I,
after
a
couple
of
days,
we
reached
out
via
email
to
the
owners
of
the
impacted
building
and
garage
and
kind
of
sent
a
proposed,
basically
driveway
ramp,
that
would
cut
across
my
property
and
allow
at
more
or
less
a
45
degree
angle
access
to
both
of
their
garage
stalls.
X
Subsequent
to
that
I
didn't
hear
back,
I
followed
up
again
via
email
and
their
attorney
has
been
in
contact
with
me.
I
reached
out
with
a
phone
call,
but
they
weren't
ready
to
discuss
the
matter
further.
I
think,
maybe
until
after
today's
hearing,
so
it's
not
yet
been
resolved,
but
I'm
100
amenable
to
ensuring
that
their
access
to
their
full
garage
is
preserved
and
we
can
accommodate
that
with
site
plan
changes
primarily
around
relocating
the
trash
enclosures
a
bit
for
yourself.
G
Okay,
so
that's
really
disappointing
to
me
that
you
haven't
resolved
that
with
your
neighbor.
That's
not
very
neighborly.
Second
question
is:
there's
an
electric
transformer.
How
are
you
with
upgrading
the
electric
lines
onto
that
site?
Thank
you.
X
X
They've
proposed
upgrading
the
polls
in
the
alleyway
to
hold
a
three-phase
power
line
and
currently
there's
three
phase
access
at
summer
and
spring
avenues
on
either
end
of
the
block
and
so
they're
proposing
to
upgrade
by
and
provide
three-phase
service
to
our
parcel
by
upgrading
the
poles,
I
think
from
the
south
and
then
running
three-phase
service,
which
will
then
be
connected
underground,
not
with
an
overhead
line
to
the
pad
mounted
transformer
on
my
parcel,
that's
their
current
design
intent.
B
All
right,
commissioner
marwah
did
you
have
a
question.
N
I
did
thank
you,
charles
wilson.
I
had
a
question
about
you
mentioned
that
you
were.
You
were
going
to
address
staff's
concern
about
the
blank
wall
and
the
trees
when,
when
shanna
had
mentioned
those,
can
you
explain
how
you're
planning
to
address
those.
X
Sure
so
the
we,
the
tree
we
submitted
on
our
site
plan
was
an
eastern
redbud.
I
mistakenly
thought
it.
I
guess
it
typically
grows
to
a
height
of
30
feet,
not
35
feet
as
required
for
a
canopy
tree,
and
so
it
was
a
genuine
error
on
our
part.
So
we
will
we.
We
will
change
that
to
a
variety
that
meets
the
canopy
tree
requirements
in
terms
of
the
the
glazing
on
the
north
facade.
So
we
ended
up
that
that
one
yeah,
so
that
one
was
just
simply
an
error.
X
I
think
in
calculating
the
the
amount
of
facade
that
was
uninterrupted
in
general
you'll
find
on
the
north
facade
of
the
building.
We've
minimized
glazing
compared
to
the
south
side
of
the
building,
which
has
ample
amounts
of
blazing,
that
is
driven
by
passive
house
design.
Principles
been
meant
to
salvage
a
lot
of
the
heat
and
warmth
in
the
winter
months
from
passive
solar
energy
into
the
building
and
to
minimize
the
inefficient
kind
of
thermal
barrier.
X
That
windows
are
on
the
north
side
of
the
building,
which
gets
a
lot
less
light,
we'll
be
adding
an
additional
window
on
the
north
corner
of
the
building
to
meet
that
that
uninterrupted
glazing
requirement
on
the
north
side
of
the
building,
and
then
I
I
think
it
was
flipped
up
during
my
presentation
that
kind
of
showed
we'll
be
you
know,
enhancing
and
adding
significantly
more
glazing
there
to
meet
the
requirements,
adding,
I
think,
probably
two
very
large
side
lights,
potentially
on
either
side
of
the
window
going
into
the
bike
and
pet
center
for
hub.
N
Yeah,
those
those
are
my
two
questions
I
mean,
I
think,
for
a
project
that
you're
touting
as
being
very
green
and
very
sustainable.
I
do
think
you
know
the
neighbors
have
the
right
concern
about
the
kind
of
lack
of
greenery
around
the
project
and
it
feels
very
boxy
and
for
you
know
something
that
you're
you
know
talking
about,
I
think
more
trees
would
be
better
versus
just
meeting
the
bare
minimum
that
you
are.
So.
Thank
you.
Here's
my
comments.
B
Okay,
all
right
so
we'll
continue
with
the
registered
speakers
for
the
public
hearing.
I
will
call
out
the
names
in
order
and
when
we
get
to
you,
you
can
press
star
six
to
unmute
yourself
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
and
proceed
with
your
comments.
There
are
23
registered
speakers
today,
so
yeah.
Please
limit
your
comment
time
and
try
not
to
repeat
things
that
have
already
been
said.
So
the
next
person
on
our
list
that
is
not
on
the
applicant
team
is
dimitri.
Carr.
X
Hi,
my
name
is
dimitri
carr.
I
live
at
me,
my
wife
and
I
both
live
and
own
641
van
buren
street
northeast.
Our
property
is
just
north
of
the
proposed
development
and
we
are
the
ones
who
share
the
garage
or
the
driveway.
I
should
say
both
prop
current
prop
buildings
have
set
separate
garages
that
face
each
other
and
we
lived.
We
bought
this
property
in
2007
and
has
lived
here
over
15
years.
Our
house
was
built
in
1908
and
our
the
first
garage
was
built
in
1921
and
then
rebuilt
to
the
current
building
in
2001..
X
We,
my
wife
and
I
are
the
ones
who
take
care
of
the
driveway,
we're
the
ones
who
clear
the
snow.
We
clean
all
the
sticks
and
everything
off
in
the
summertime,
and
we
believe
that
we
have
what
is
called
an
unrecorded
easement
by
prescription,
as
in
that,
we
have
used
and
maintained
this
driveway
for
the
for
over
15
years,
and
so
have
the
previous
owners
of
our
house
have
used
this
driveway.
X
Both
of
the
options
he
proposed
are
unusable.
For
us,
as
is
one
of
the
options,
was
to
make
a
90
degree
turn
in
the
alley
before
we
actually
enter
the
driveway,
which
is
impossible
and
we're
under
we.
We
believe
that
no
change
can
be
made
to
the
length
or
width
of
our
driveway
that
will
otherwise
it
will
impede
our
access
to
our
garage
and.
B
Okay,
apologies
all
right
up
next
is
marie
kent.
If
marie
kent
is
on
the
line,
you
can
press
star
six
to
unmute
yourself
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
I
Hi,
my
name
is
marie
kent
and
my
family
and
I
live
at
741
van
buren
street.
I
want,
and
I
believe
the
city
needs
more
families
to
live
in
this
neighborhood
and
this
proposal
won't
allow
that
families
need
bedrooms,
and
this
proposal
doesn't
have
three
bedroom
units.
It
doesn't
even
have
a
two
bedroom
unit
and
no
one
will
stay
here
as
a
family.
I
I
B
X
All
right,
yeah,
scott
raw
727
van
buren
street.
You
know,
echoing
a
lot
of
comments
about
the
parking.
Obviously
I
know
it's
not
a
requirement
and
you
I'm
not
sure
if
you
can
vote
based
on
that
or
not,
but
the
the
a
unique
part
of
this
neighborhood
is
it's
closed
off
to
the
major
corridors.
So
you
have
central.
You
have
broadway
that
are
obviously
right
here,
but.
E
There's
no
access
to
either
street
broadway
you
can't
get
to
for
three
plus
blocks
central
is,
is
boxed
off
by
a
couple
blocks
as
well,
so
piling.
E
Everything,
especially
in
the
winter,
it's
going
to
make
it
impassable
because
marie
said
bikes
are
great.
E
Minimum
so
yeah.
X
I
don't
know,
but
I
also
find
that
ironic
talking
about
carbon
emissions
and
being
green
when
you're
tearing
down
a
perfectly.
B
Thank
you
for
your
comment.
Next
on
our
list
of
registered
speakers
is
risa
houston.
Sorry,
I've
said
that
wrong
press
star
six
to
unmute
yourself
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
B
W
Name
is
rita.
I
live
at
4611
playsdale
and
I'm
calling
in
support
of
the
staff
recommendations
to
rezone
this
parcel.
The
the
plan
on
the
site
is
consistent
with
our
2040
plan
and
if
we
codified
the
comprehensive
plan
into
the
zoning
code
yesterday,
we'd
all
the
offices
call
and
on
to
dinner.
By
now,
I
I
hope
you
all
laughed
at
that
one.
This
location
is
right
next
to
the
future
f
line,
and
it
makes
it
a
perfect
place
for
this
kind
of
development.
W
I
think
every
neighbor
in
minneapolis
should
be
excited
to
have
such
an
ambitious
solar
champion
in
the
building
next
door
to
them.
This
plan
truly
prioritizes
all
the
neighbors
through
significant
greenhouse
gas
reduction,
and
I
just
I
really
thank
everybody
in
this
meeting
for
bringing
their
comments
today.
I
thank
our
commissioners
for
hearing
this,
but
I
I
really
hope
that
the
commissioners
choose
to
vote
to
approve
this
request
today.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
AF
Directly,
I
will
my
name
is
sarah
walbridge
jones.
I
live
at
625
van
buren
street.
AG
AF
I'd
like
to
quickly
say
that
I've
been
talking
to
my
neighbors
since
late
december
on
this
development
and
we
did
reach
out
to
cody
fisher
with
our
oppositions
and
concerns
which,
for
the
commissioner
who
asked
he
did
not
take
any
of
our
concerns
or
thoughts
on
this
project
and
change
anything
about
his
bill
outman.
So
much
planning
is
done
on
paper.
AF
The
city
approved
a
2040
plan
and
says
they
asked
for
citizens
feedback,
and
here
we
are
evaluating
a
project
in
real
time,
and
the
citizens
are
still
speaking
and
believe
that
van
buren
street
is
not
meant
for
high
density
development.
In
2019
we
reached
out
to
steve
fletcher
about
how
the
east
side
of
van
buren
street
suddenly
got
designated
corridor
six.
You
should
have
a
record
of
that
email
in
your
packet,
and
I
will
quote
a
bit
of
it.
AF
Steve
said
we're
meeting
with
heather
worthington,
who
is
the
director
of
long
range
planning
when
you
emailed
us
all
are
agreed
that
van
buren
should
be
treated
like
all
other
streets
interior
three.
He
promised
to
change
the
2040
plan
so
to
the
last
callers.
We
would
be
having
dinner
right
now,
because
we
wouldn't
be
looking
at
this
free
zone
or
this
fight
plan.
At
this
point,
the
city
planner's
findings
for
this
rezone
should
be
she's
saying
it
should
be
granted
based
more
on
the
future.
AF
Don't
form
designation
of
quarter
six,
but
she
also
stated
that
the
zoning
study
has
not
been
done
yet
and
perhaps
through
the
zoning
evaluation,
you
will
find
that
van
buren
street
is
not
a
high-density
neighborhood.
The
neighborhood
doesn't
believe
it
is,
and
this
application
further
proves
that,
based
on
the
historic
and
current
land
use,
23
units
on
a
7
700
square
foot
parcel
is
not
compatible.
AF
I
apologize
that
you
guys
have
wasted
your
time
looking
at
this
and
that
steve,
fletcher
and
heather
worthington
didn't
change
the
one
east
side
of
van
buren.
At
this
point
there
are
reasonable
uses
for
the
property
which
do
not
necessarily
necessarily
necessitate
a
zone
change
and
would
leave
an
existing
neighborhood
intact.
I'm
at.
B
AD
AD
The
house
I
lived
directly
across
the
street
from
635
635
is
a
very
attractive
house.
It,
the
house
blends
in
with
the
other
visual
aspects
of
the
block
and
the
tree
in
front
of
it.
We
talked
about
ecology.
The
tree
was
a
good
sized
tree.
When
I
moved
in
it's
even
more
it's
more
big,
it's
bigger
and
certainly
absorbs
far
more
co2
than
it
did.
AD
B
O
Ahead:
okay,
I
my
address
is
733
van
buren
street
and
I
oppose
the
reasoning
and
development
of
the
635
van
buren
as
it
contradicts
several
focus
areas
of
the
2040
plan.
First,
the
600
block
of
van
buren
does
not
fit
the
criteria
of
the
high
density
housing,
as
outlined
in
the
2040
plan.
O
Another
contradictory
to
the
2040
plan
is
access
to
employment.
During
the
covet
pandemic,
many
companies
have
moved
to
remote
businesses
and
the
landscape
of
employment
has
changed
so
now.
There
isn't,
as
needs
to
move
downtown
and
have
the
need
for
high-density
housing.
Also,
currently,
the
house
is
zoned.
The
current
house
is
zoned
as
an
r1a,
which
is
facilitates
families.
The
new
developments
are
only
single
they're
one
units
and
one
bedroom,
and
this
does
not
accommodate
families,
which
is
also
cited
in
the
2040
plan.
O
Changing
the
zones
to
accommodate
23-unit
complex
versus
a
single-family
home
as
a
rental
is
clearly
a
financial
benefit
to
the
property
owner,
as
this
will
be
market
rate
rentals
and
not
affordable
housing
by
having
market
rate
rentals.
This
will
continue
to
create
housing
shortages
for
the
lower
income,
families
that
won't
be
able
to
afford
these
units
and
will
be
a
large
amount
of
money
that
will
go
into
the
owners
of
635
van
buren.
Since
all
properties
have
the
same.
Zoning
class
of
education
on
van
buren
re-zoning
will
distribute
the
cohesiveness,
create
a
hodge
of
zoning.
B
V
O
Is
haley
yang?
I
live
at
69
van
buren
street
and
I'm
calling
on
behalf
of
my
mom
balding,
who
does
not
speak
english
and
we
live
directly
next
door
to
635
band
bearing
since
on
97.
my
family
and
I
are
opposed
to
having
a
four-story
23
complex
right
next
door.
If
you
live
on
this
blog,
you
know
firsthand
that
sometimes
fighting
parking,
even
in
front
of
your
house,
is
nearly
impossible
due
to
the
other
businesses
around
surrounding
your
are
a
little
blocked.
O
Our
apartment
buildings
are
notorious
for
providing
marginal
parking
provisions
for
tenants
and
overflow.
From
this
plus
tenants,
visitors
puts
all
available
neighborhood
parking
under
pressure,
personal
privacy
for
homeowners
strictly
our
house.
If
you
have
that
apartment
complex,
it's
going
to
overlook
our
yard
and
other
neighbors,
so
there
is
no
privacy
with
that,
and
also
I
would
like
to
inform
you
guys
that
we
only
heard
about
this
development
from
sarah
walbridge
jones
or
neighbor,
and
there
was
no
follow
up
with
from
the
applicant.
B
Thank
you
for
your
comment.
Our
next
registered
speaker
is
emily
carr
and
my
car's
on
the
line.
Please
go
ahead.
U
Okay,
perfect,
our
home
is
next
door
to
the
proposed
development
at
635
van
buren
and
you've
already
heard
about
our
driveway
situation,
where,
if
we
don't
have
access
on
the
driveway,
we
won't
be
able
to
get
into
our
garage,
which
would
be
devastating
on
many
levels.
U
U
If
this
apartment
building
was
built,
we
would
only
see
a
wall.
We
would
have
no
airflow,
no
sight
line,
no
sunshine.
I'm
asking
the
board
to
please
deny
the
land
use,
application
and
site
plan.
I
have
trepidation
regarding
the
complete
loss
of
privacy,
our
household
and
surrounding
households
will
have,
along
with
a
lot
of
mature
trees.
There
are
huge
trees,
there's
two
large
trees
in
that
at
that
site.
U
635
van
buren
is
a
home.
That's
been
well
cared
for
and
fits
the
existing
neighborhood.
I
attach
pictures
of
the
current
view
of
the
home,
adding
an
apartment
building
mid-block
in
our
residential
neighborhood.
That
does
include
triplex's
duplexes,
four
plexes
that
would
fit
perfectly,
but
if
an
apartment
building
of
this
size
could
be
an
appropriate
if
it
was
located
on
central
avenue,
but
it's
not
it's
van
buren
street
is
a
quiet
residential
street
that
has
it's
not
accessible
from
central
avenue.
U
B
Thank
you
for
your
comment.
Next
registered
speaker
is
chris
jones.
Chris
jones
is
on
the
line.
You
can
go
ahead.
X
Obviously,
you've
been
I'm
sorry.
My
name
is
chris
jones,
I'm
located
at
625
van
buren
street.
I
am
two
blocks
or
two
houses
south
of
this
property.
I
know
this
isn't
question
and
answer,
but
I
feel
like
I
want
to
start
with
a
couple
of
these
things.
I
would
like
to
know
if
the
commission,
every
member
has
had
time
to
review
the
entire
packet
and
then
also
I
would
like,
from
the
city
planner
a
little
clearer
description
of
the
amount
of
opposition
versus
support.
I
don't.
X
I'm
opposed
to
this
for
many
of
the
same
reasons
as
everybody
else,
I'd
like
to
specifically
focus
on
policy,
one
which
is
multiple
types
of
housing.
This
is
a
very
viable
house
for
a
family
within
walking
distance
to
a
public
school
two
public
schools.
I
believe
it's
our
city's
obligation
to
support
the
schools,
especially
in
the
current
situation
that
they're
in-
and
this
is
actually
a
house
that
is
naturally
occurring.
Affordable
housing,
which
is
also
one
of
the
goals,
is
by
building
other
houses.
X
X
I'd
like
to
talk
about
parking
for
a
minute,
because
earlier
someone
said
that,
if
you
guys
didn't
get
to
decide
on
parking,
I
would
like
to
argue
that
you
guys
are
the
exact
people.
If
you
don't
think
that
parking
having
zero
requirements
for
parking
is
important,
then
you
are
the
ones
to
change
it.
I
think
the
2040
plan
missed
on
this.
I
don't
think
our
future
is
carlos.
I
think
it's
an
electric
car.
X
So
all
of
our
cars
aren't
going
to
be
just
replaced
with
bikes
or
public
transportation
as
the
person
who's
lived
in
dc
and
in
the
san
francisco
bay
area.
I
don't
see
a
future
where
our
rapid
transit
matches
those.
So
you
are
the
people
to
change
the
parking
even
cody
as
the
he
is
an
avid
cyclist
and
he
still
owns
it.
AC
B
B
All
right
we'll
come
back
to
that
name.
Let's
move
to
anees
mazzone,
I'm
not
sure
if
I'm
saying
that
right.
R
I'm
here
hi,
this
is
denise,
I'm
at
728
van
buren
and
I'd
like
to
start
with
one
of
the
commissioners
earlier
say
that
that
light
is
so
important,
and
I
believe
that
this
building
will
have
shadowing
that
will
negatively
impact
all
the
houses
that
surround
that
it
surrounds
they'll,
be
deprived,
the
home
owners
will
be
deprived
of
sunlight,
and
we
know
how
important
sunlight
is
also
parking.
Parking
is
a
problem,
and
you
are
the
people
to
address
this.
R
R
This
owner
talked
about
this
being
a
social
justice
project,
and
I-
and
he
is
completely
wrong
about
that.
This
twin
cities
disproportionately
has
a
lower
rate,
the
lowest
rate
of
home
ownership
for
people
of
color.
He
has
taken
away
an
opportunity
for
a
family
to
live
in
that
property
and
it's
right
within
the
the
right
price
point.

All
the
time,
but
the
last
few
times
that
he's
been
over
to
our
neighborhood
he's
been
in
a
vehicle
in
the
middle
of
winter.
So
to
say
that
people
are
only
gonna
bike
and
he's
an
avid
biker
throughout
all
seasons.
People
still
have
vehicles
and
they
still
are
going
to
park
on
the
street
and
he
is
providing
no
parking.

E
Hello,
you
can
hear
me.
E
All
right,
thank
you,
yeah
my
name's
tony
sternberg
and
I
live
at
733
van
buren
street
northeast.
Like
many
others
today,
I'm
I'm
coming
to
voice.
My
opposition
for
the
project
at
635
van
buren,
as
discussed
van
buren,
does
already
contain
a
great
mix
of
property,
single
family,
duplexes
and
quadplexes
things
like
that,
and
just
for
the
record
I'm
yet
to
talk
to
anyone
in
this
neighborhood
that
opposes
zoning.
That
would
continue
to
allow
this
type
of
housing.
E
What's
strange
is
that
the
zoning
is
about
the
zoning
is
that
only
the
east
side
of
van
buren
is
zoned
for
high-density
housing.
When
you
actually
visit
this
neighborhood
and
like
others,
I
would
call
on
you
all
to
do
that
and
I
did
submit
a
video
that
kind
of
showed
van
buren
in
the
layout
of
that.
I
hope
that
that
was
viewed
as
well,
but
you'll
see
that
it's
just
like
the
rest
of
the
santa
neighborhood,
which
is
actually
zoned,
r2
interior.
Three
from
an
overhead
map.
E
I
could
definitely
see
how
a
planner
without
visiting
would
assume
that
we
are
on
central.
However,
in
fact
we
are
not.
We
do
not
have
direct
access
to
central
at
all
or
broadway
for
that
matter.
In
fact,
like
on
the
700
block
of
van
buren,
central
actually
sits
about
20
feet
above
ground
level,
so
there's
just
really
no
way
to
get
there
unless
you
go
all
the
way
around.
E
I
do
think
when
looking
at
this
particular
project,
we
need
to
look
at
the
greater
picture
and
the
bigger
picture
here
and
that's
if
you're
approving
a
project
like
635
van
buren,
it's
going
to
pave
the
way
for
future
developments
as
well,
just
like
it
on
our
street,
which
it
simply
can't
support
for
all
the
parking
reasons
discussed
and
the
fact
that
there's
only
one
single
access
point
to
central
and
broadway
and
that's
through
spring
street
and
van
buren,
and
anyone
who
lives
here
has
driven
here
knows
it's
already
quite
a
terrible
intersection
and
hard
to
get
out
of,
and
quite
honestly,
not
the
safest
thing
in
the
world,
and
I
think
it
would
just
amplify
that
problem.
E
E
I
just
want
to
note
that
I
have
not
been
reached
out
to,
and
nor
have
I
spoken
to
anyone
that
has
been
reached
out
to
so
I
would
echo
that
the
concerns
have
definitely
not
been
heard
from
our
side,
so
we
definitely
urge
the
city
to
fix
the
zoning
issue
and
the
planning
commission
to
stand
with
the
santa
neighborhood
that
opposes
the
635
development.
Thanks.

Hello,
I'm
james
holmquist,
I'm
at
620,
622
van
buren,
I've
been
here
for
20
years.
I
was
listening
to
cody's
presentation
and
when
I
heard
words
like
accident
mistakes,
air,
I
I
started
in
the
construction
industry.
I've
worked
with
a
lot
of
builders
and
those
are
words
they
use
to
sell
a
product.
I
feel
like
he's
using
the
environmental
argument
to
sell
this
project
and
I
am
strongly
opposed
to
it.
AH
I
bought
in
2004
right
before
the
collapse
of
the
the
housing
market
and
I've
I've
put
devoted
much
time
and
effort
money
into
this
property.
It's
a
great
neighborhood.
AH
AH
It's
it's
an
emotional
subject
for
us
and
cody
never
reached
out
for
me
on
anything
ever
I
found
out
about
this
project
from
sarah
and
I
I
think
the
neighborhood
was
lied
to
and
I
I
think
it's
a
big
mistake.
Thank
you.

Hi
this
is
dave
houser
and
747
van
buren.
I've
been
here
for
a
number
of
years.
I
think
I
fought
in
2010.
AC
Sitting
here
in
this
community,
enjoying
enjoying
all
the
people
here
when
I
grew
up,
I
was
in
the
south
side
of
minneapolis.
AC
AC
It's
amazing
to
see
the
mix
of
housing
in
this
neighborhood.
Half
of
the
housing
was
destroyed
pending
the
fha's
review
by
the
neighborhood
organization.
That
was
here
in
the
60s
late
60s.
Maybe
early
70s
amazing
community
resolve
to
not
be
trampled
the
broadway
corridor,
wouldn't
be
here,
there's
a
reason
that
these
traffic
jams
are
horrible.
Here
it
could
be
a
freeway,
it's
a
choice.
X
All
right,
my
name,
is
patrick
sutton,
an
attorney
I
live
at
843
summer
street
northeast
it's
about
it's
at
the
end
of
the
block
of
van
buren
on
the
north.
I
won't
take
much
time.
I
only
got
two
minutes.
X
I
will
say
that
I
did
present
a
a
lot
of
you
know,
pdfs
that
talk
about
the
existing
apartments
and
duplexes
and
fourplexes,
and
I
and
I'll
let
the
you
know,
let
the
folks
review
that
most
of
them
were
built
on
multiple,
multiple
plots,
so
not
just
a
single
family
but
actual
multiple
plots.
X
I
will
say
that
the
the
bigger
apartment
complexes
in
our
our
unit
or
in
our
immediate
neighborhood
were
built
prior
to
actually
the
single-family
homes
coming
in,
so
they
were
already
pre-existing
and
homes
were
built
around
them
which
allowed
those
apartment
complexes
the
ample
space
for
all
the
amenities
that
they
would
need.
This
is
now
having
a
complex
come
to
the
single-family
homes.
More
importantly,
I
want
to
focus
on
the
new
the
new
complex
that
was
built
in
2020
on
754
jackson,
which
is
actually
on
jackson
and
broadway.
X
That
one
is
built
on
a
it's
got.
Two
lots
to
which
it
used,
but
that
wasn't
sufficient.
They
actually
had
to
re-route
the
alley
off
of
that
to
to
accommodate
this
unit
and
obviously
there's
no
parking.
There's.
You
know,
there's
a
street,
that's
that
parallels
broadway,
where
all
these
other
cars
hang
out.
You
know,
and
while
I
appreciate
the
idea
that
everyone's
gonna
be
riding
bikes
in
reality,
it
doesn't
really
happen.
But,
more
importantly,
as
somebody
who
is
single,
I'm
a
biker.
I
bike
to
work,
I
work
downtown.
X
My
housing
is
affordable.
It's
925,
a
new
unit
that
caters
to
singles
you'd,
think
I'd
be
happy
about
that,
but
I'm
not
because
it
is
going
to
raise
my
rent-
and
I
know
that
you
know
everyone
says
oh
well,
more,
more
more
availability's
going
to
lower
it
in
actuality,
the
inverse
happens.
What
really
happens
is
existing
landlords
say:
oh
wait,
they're
getting
how
much
for
over
there,
although
we
can
raise
ours
as
well.
So
for
somebody
who
appreciates
based
on
you
know,
I've
got
a
ton
of
student
loans.
AG
Okay,
sorry
about
that,
my
name
is
sylvia
radford.
I
live
at
648
beard
street
northeast
I've
been
here
for
over
20
years.
I
walk
the
neighborhood
a
lot
because
I
have
dogs.
I
love
looking
at
all
the
variation
in
building
that
we
have
here,
and
so
we
we
already
have
mixed
use:
housing,
neighborhood
road.
P
AG
Central
but
central
is
not
easy
to
get
to
from
van
buren,
I
make
sure
never
to
come
out
of
van
buren.
I
I
drive
around
because
that
intersection
at
spring
street
and
van
buren
and
to
central
is
such
a
pain,
and
I
have
been
in
a

accident
there
from
not
being
able
to
see
so
as
as
lovely
as
all

Hello
hi,
my
name
is
katie
jones
and
I
live
at
2219,
bryant
avenue
south.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
has
testified
today.
It's
just
really
encouraging
to
see
so
many
people
and
passionate
about
the
place
that
they
live.
I
also
want
to
ask
everyone
here
a
couple
of
reflective
questions.
One.
Do
you
believe
that
everyone
should
have
a
decent
place
to
live
and
two
is
climate
change?
A
problem?
F
I
hear
the
concerns
about
parking
and
recognize
the
risk
of
shadows
from
taller
buildings,
and
just
you
know
when
I
recognize
that
change
is
tough
to
imagine.
But
I
want
us
to
think
about
the
opportunities
that
this
project
promises.
We
have
just
a
handful
of
passive
houses
in
the
city
and
we
need
more
examples.
More
and
more
people
like
mr
fish,
who
are
taking
a
chance
to
show
us
what
building
sustainable
buildings
and
providing
more
housing
is
like.
F
I
also
know
that
this
project
is
going
to
be
working
with
better
futures
minnesota,
which
helps
to
get
former
incarcerated
people
back
on
their
feet
through
deconstruction
jobs,
and
that
means
that
80
percent
of
those
folks
will
be
working
on
on
the
deconstruction
of
the
single
family,
home
and
80
of
that
home
will
be
reused.
F
I
also
want
to
note
that
you
know
it's
important
for
us
to
look
at
the
bigger
picture.
I
know
a
lot
of
direct
neighbors
have
been
talking
about
this,
but
you
know
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
sustainability
and
housing
and
not
just
what's
in
your
backyard.
Even
what
lands
in
your
backyard
may
surprise
you
right.
F
Next
to
us,
we
have
an
eight-bedroom
single-family
home
next
door
that
was
recently
converted
to
a
halfway
house
for
women,
overcoming
addiction,
and
that
means
that
there
are
16
women
living
there
at
any
one
time,
so
really
not
very
dissimilar
to
this
situation
and
over
the
last
four
years
it's
actually
turned
out
to
be
fine.
You
know
they
didn't
add
any
parking
and
they
actually
chose
that
location
because
of
the
proximity
to
for
people
to
walk
bike
and
take
transit
living
in
a
mixed
use.
F
Neighborhood,
you
know,
is
really
is
really
good
for
the
neighborhood
in
general.
It
helps
to
grow
business.
It's
honestly
beneficial
for
me,
because
that
it
helps
to
there
are
more
customers
in
the
area,
helps
to
keep
more
things
open
so
that
those
businesses
are
available
for
me
too.
Lastly,
I'm
also
a
mom
and
pop
landlord.
I
have
a
duplex
and
I
try
plex.
Okay,
thank
you.
So
much.
B
X
I
can't
help
it.
I.
X
B
AE
B
John
mcfadden
here,
okay,
john
mcfadden,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
AE
It's
just
a
shocking
thing
to
hear
this
proposal
it'd
be
shocking.
To
put
anything
like
this
in
this
neighborhood.
There
is
nothing
around
this
property
that
is
like
it.
The
livability
issue
here
is
is
huge.
I
I
it's
it's
shocking
to
me
that
that
parking
cannot
be
part
of
your
metrics
for
this.
That
doesn't
make
any
sense,
it's
incredibly
dangerous,
to
try
right
now
to
exit
van
buren
onto
spring
street,
there's
only
room
for
one
car
to
sit
there
at
that
light.
AE
B
Thank
you
for
your
comment,
so
it
sounds
like
there's
a
few
people
who
are
still
trying
to
speak
if
you've
already
spoken.
P
X
Yeah,
my
name
is
jeremy
leland,
I'm
at
737
van
buren
street.
Several
years
ago
I
was
the
neighborhood
association
president,
who
actually
helped
shepherd
through
the
higher
density
development,
that's
located
at
the
intersection
of
jackson
and
and
broadway.
So
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that,
generally
I'm
a
proponent
of
increasing
housing
units
within
the
neighborhood.
X
At
that
time
we
were
very
meticulous
in
mapping
the
neighborhoods
to
figure
out
where
were
the
best
places
to
allow
access
to
mass
transit
to
minimize
the
negative
impacts
on
neighbors,
while
maximizing
positive
impacts
on
the
neighborhood,
ensuring
that
you
know
things
would
be
in
scope,
there
would
be
property
egress,
so
on
and
so
forth.
So,
for
example,
jackson
and
broadway
many
of
those
units
actually
exit
onto
broadway
this
particular
unit,
given
its
size,
is
really
surprising.
X
Given
that
van
buren
street
is
effectively
a
cul-de-sac,
and
it
would
be
very
weird
to
walk
through
any
streets
in
america
and
see
a
24
unit
apartment
building
in
a
cul-de-sac,
I'm
sure
we
can
find
an
example
somewhere,
but
it's
probably
not
the
norm,
and
I
want
to
be
clear
too,
as
as
a
neighbor
I've
observed
the
you
know
the
tight
access
to
those
garages
that
would
be
immediately
adjacent.
X
They
have
had
access.
You
know
for
a
hundred
years
at
this
point
through
those
garages.
I
think
certainly
we
have
to
consider
that,
whether
it's
official
or
not,
there's
certainly
like
a
a
common
law
access
or
easement
there
that
we
have
to
acknowledge.
That's
not
been
made
possible
and
I'm
not
even
going
to
start
talking
about
the
fact
that
I
know
that
you
can't
accept,
discuss
parking
but
from
a
traffic
perspective.
X
B
O
Hi
yep,
I
believe
my
house
was
one
of
the
last
to
be
built
on
this
book.
It
was
a
new,
a
new
development.
It
was
a
tear
down,
it
was
originally
a
tear
down,
but
the
protocol
for
this
new
house
to
be
put
up
was
very,
very
strict.
It
included
all
the
neighborhood
neighbors,
it's
actually
a
one
and
a
half
story,
cape
cod
style
and
it
had
to
fit
certain
requirements
to
to
be
built,
and
it
did
so.
I
don't
know
what
has
changed
between
then
and
now.
This
was
2004.
B
B
All
right,
I'm
not
hearing
any,
so
I
will
now
close
the
public
hearing.
Commissioners.
Is
there
any
questions
or
discussion.
B
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I'm
going
to
move
that
we
postponed
this
until
may
9th.
The
reasoning
for
that
is.
There
are
so
many
unanswered
questions
here
and
during
that
time
I
look
forward
to
speaking
with
the
staff
in
the
city
attorney's
office,
about
these
emails,
where
an
elected
official,
steve
fletcher
promised
to
change
that
it
was
a
mistake
to
upzone
this
piece
of
land
that
that
two-block
length
of
van
buren
and
also
the
the
email
from
cped
staff
from
heather
worthington.
G
I
mean
that's,
that's
the
public
trust
and
you
know
so
I
I
need
to
get
answers
on
that.
Also.
In
the
meantime,
I
would
really
encourage
the
developer
to
engage
with
the
community.
I've
heard
time
and
time
again
that
you
are
ignoring
them
and
that's
important,
it's
important
to
involve
the
community.
I
also
would
encourage
the
developer
in
this
time
frame
to
engage
with
the
staff.
G
There
are
issues
that
this
that
are
unresolved
with
the
staff
to
move
this
project
forward
and
last
last
but
not
least,
I
would
encourage
our
fellow
commissioners
in
this.
This
pause,
this
time
frame
to
go
and
view
van
buren
and
and
understand
that,
in
essence,
it
is
an
industrial
cul-de-sac.
G
It
was
created,
it
was
cut
off
from
the
rest
of
the
city
grid
by
broadway
and
central
avenue,
and
that
that
is
very
pertinent
to
why
this
should
why
it
was
admitted
that
it
was
a
mistake
to
zone
it
the
way
it
is
so.
I
move
that
we
post
boneless
until
may
9th.
B
All
right,
we
have
a
motion.
Is
there
a
second
all
right?
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second,
I
believe,
there's
a
response
from
kimberly.
K
Yes,
and
because
this
was
asked
in
the
chat
as
well,
that
staff
respond
to
the
comments
made
about
an
email
regarding
the
corridor.
Six
designation
on
this
property
I'll
try
to
be
as
concise
as
I
can,
but
I
was
forwarded
an
email
that
former
council
member
steve
fletcher
sent
to
a
chris
jones
back
on
august,
8
2019
and
the
email
conversation
leading
up
to
this
response
is
basically
asking
generally
about
the
land
use
in
the
2040
plan.
For
this
neighborhood
and
council
member
fletcher
responded,
your
timing
is
remarkable.
K
We
were
meeting
with
heather
worthington
when
you
emailed
all
are
agreed
that
van
buren
should
be
treated
like
all
of
the
other
streets
in
the
neighborhood
transit
4
along
broadway
and
interior
3.
For
the
rest,
however,
that
is
one
email
summarizing
a
conversation
that
someone
had
with
a
staff
person
who
no
longer
works
at
the
city.
K
There
was
never
any
staff
direction
at
that
time
or
currently
to
change
the
land
use
or
built
form
on
these
properties.
So
the
version
of
the
2040
plan
that
was
adopted
designated
these
properties
as
corridor
6..
I
cannot
confirm
or
deny
what
the
former
director
of
our
long-range
planning
team
promised
in
2019.
K
What
I
can
tell
you
is
that
the
comp
plan
was
adopted
with
this
designated
as
corridor.
Six
and
later
the
rezoning
study
was
adopted,
and
now
these
properties
are
actually
zoned
for
the
corridor.
Six
belt
form
district.
You
know
the
summary.
At
this
time
our
community
planning
team
has
had
communications
with
council
member
rainville
asking
about
this
issue
as
well
as
conversations
with
the
neighborhood
group.
K
K
If
property
owners
wanted
to
come
forward
and
propose
comprehensive
plan
amendments
for
their
own
properties,
they
would
have
the
right
to
do
so.
But
at
this
time
we
do
not
have
anything
any
staff
led
initiatives
or
any
applications
from
other
property
owners
in
the
area
for
comprehensive
plan
amendments.
So
that's
the
short
version
of
that.
B
Thank
you
kimberly,
commissioner,.
O
Z
Thanks
do
we
have
to
let
the
second
happen
before
discussion.
B
So
we
can
discuss
before
we
vote
on
the
or
commissioner
ford
did
the
second
it.
Yes,
oh.
Z
Okay,
thank
you,
okay.
I
I
don't
want
a
table
right
away.
I
have
a
lot
of
thoughts
and
questions
after
the
residents
questions
and
comments,
so
I
just
wanted
to
get
that
out
there
that
I
would
like
to
have
a
discussion
tonight.
Instead
of
just
tabling
it
right
away,
I
did
drive
by
this
neighborhood.
I
do
think
it
is
a
unique
compared
to
other
things
that
we've
approved
recently
for
this
type
of
infill
development.
Z
I
don't
think
I
voted
against
any
infill
development
project
since
I've
started
on
this
commission-
and
I
came
into
this
meeting
tonight
fully
like
ready
to
vote
yes
to
this
project,
but
after
some
of
the
questions
that
have
been
raised
tonight,
I
do
have
concerns
just
about
how
tight
it
is
and
about
some
of
the
neighborhood
engagement
to
date.
So
I
I
don't
know
if
I'm
like
fully
in
support
of
tabling
it,
but
I
would
like
to
have
a
discussion
and
I
do
think
the
neighborhood
engagement
is
really
important.
Z
Clearly,
this
neighborhood
is
very
engaged,
so
I
feel
like
it
should
be
easy
to
get
in
contact
with
them.
There
are
like
30
of
them
on
the
call,
so
I
feel
like
there
was
definitely
something
missed
during
the
planning
stages
of
this
project.
Z
My
main
concerns,
I
guess,
I'm
not
concerned
about
traffic.
We
can't
really
consider
the
parking
issues
I
am
concerned
more
about
the
shadowing
and
how
it
fits
in
with
the
neighborhood
most
of
what
we've
seen
it
feels
like
have
been
multiple
lots
combined
into
one.
So
this
is
something
that
feels
different
from
what
we've
reviewed
recently.
Z
B
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Alper.
D
Okay,
so
I
think
I
have
three
things
and
I'm
gonna
try
and
remember
them
all.
So,
first
of
all,
I'm
wondering
if
we
table
the
motion
could
staff.
Let
us
know
how
close
we
are
in
that
time
frame.
Are
we
still
within
the
time
frame
for
meeting
deadlines.
AA
AA
To
continue
this
application
to
may
9th.
Would
then,
because
there
are
required
public
meetings
before
the
biz
committee,
which
is
a
council
committee
and
then
the
full
council
to
follow
to
make
a
final
decision
on
the
rezoning
that
would
likely
go
to
a
biz
meeting
on
june
7th
and
a
full
city
council
meeting
on
june
16th.
AA
Then
we
would
have
to
accommodate
publication
and
mayoral
signature.
So
we
would
be
right,
under
the
wire
of
the
june
25th
120
day
decision
period,
with
no
room
for
any
further
continuances.
D
Okay
thanks
and
then
I
have
a
question
about
that:
driveway
issue,
the
the
neighboring
driveway
and
I
I
know
at
some
point
within
the
last
hour
and
a
half
that
we
saw
the
elevation
change
and
I
I
would
just
like
to
better
understand
that
issue
if
they
will
be
able
to
enter
their
garage.
Is
that
like
a
well?
Will
they
just
have
to
figure
that
out?
I
mean
it's
of
the
homeowner
there
under
perf
zoning
code
or
like
what
options
will
they
have
the
neighboring
neighboring
house
with
the.
AA
We
have
asked
both
the
applicant
and
the
adjacent
property
owner
if
they
have
any
easements
recorded
and
none
have
been
provided
to
staff.
So
essentially,
you
have
a
dispute
between
two
private
property
owners.
D
Okay,
thanks
for
that,
and
then
I'm
wondering,
if
is
this
the
the
case
where,
if
I
wanted
to
and
thanks
everyone
for
bearing
with
me
here,
but
if
I
wanted
to
add
a
condition
say
that
the
property
owner,
sorry,
that
the
developer
of
this
635
van
buren
had
to
offer
transit
passes
to
every
unit
in
the
building?
Is
that
something
that
a
commissioner
could
do
it
at
end
at
what
point
not
with
the
not
with
the
motion
under
the
moving
to
table?
But
maybe
an
upcoming
motion
is
that
correct,
shanna
or.
AA
Essentially,
our
general
understanding
of
conditions
of
approval
are
in
order
to
address
a
city
requirement
or
or
a
specific
legal
finding.
So
if
you
are
able
to
make
a
nexus
to
site
plan
review,
to
add
that
condition-
and
it's
accepted
amongst
your
peers,
then
that
condition
can
be
voted
on.
Just
a
point
of
order
is
that
rezonings
are
legislative
decisions
and
you
cannot
tie
any
conditions
of
approval
to
a
rezoning
and
they're
ultimately
designed
by
the
council.
AA
Q
Thank
you
chair.
I
have
two
comments.
The
first
is,
I,
I
think,
I'm
in
a
similar
position
to
commissioner
mcguire,
where
I
read
the
packet
and
intended
to
vote
yes
on
this
earlier
today,
but
I
think
former
council
member
fletcher's
email
is
really
unfortunate
in
so
far
as
it
makes
it
it.
It
gave
false
information
to
people
at
that
moment
in
time
that
informed
their
decision
making
and
I
think,
puts
current
residents
in
a
really
difficult
position
of
being
told
one
thing
and
being
active
on
another.
Q
I
realize
that-
and
I
appreciate
can
really
your
comments
about
staff
directive
here
and
that
what
you've
said
I
I
think
both
of
those
the
two
things
can
be
true,
but
I
think,
in
light
of
that,
I
do
support
tabling
this
to
that
to
the
meeting
that
council
member
rainville
raised
to
give
the
community
more
time
to
meet
with
the
developer
and
try
to
find
a
way
forward
here,
if
at
all
possible.
Q
I
think
my
second
comment
is
related
to
the
the
neighbor
and
I'm
not
sure
if
I
have
the
right
neighbor
correctly,
but
I
do
know
that
the
developer
in
his
presentation
commented
on
his
attempts
to
reach
the
neighbor
being
unsuccessful
and
then
the
neighbor.
I
believe
then
testifying
as
part
of
public
comment,
and
I
would
love
to
see
before
the
next
time.
Q
B
B
In
fact
the
application
is
pretty
straightforward.
All
we're
looking
at
is
rezoning,
which
we
do
almost
every
meeting
when
we
have
these
conflicting
zones
and
guidances
and
site
plan
review,
and
I'm
just
wondering
you
know
what
would
change
in
the
meantime,
probably
nothing
that
would
actually
affect
our
decision-making
right.
We're
just
looking
at
the
rezoning
and
the
site
plan
review
based
upon
the
existing
guidance
and
code
and
the
guiding
is
not
going
to
change
by
the
time.
We
need
to
act
on
this
application,
so
I
will
not
be
supporting
continuing
this.
H
Thank
you.
I
I
I'm
the
opposite.
Having
read
the
packet,
I
felt
that
it
was
okay,
it
sounds
makes
sense
to
me,
but
in
hearing
the
cop
hearing
the
the
testimony
tonight
in
the
public
hearing,
I
think
enough
questions
are
raised.
Well,
I
need
to
go
back
and
look
at
the
judgments
that
were
made
by
the
staff
in
the
in
justifying
the
excuse
me
in
justifying
the
rezoning
and
the
other
comments
that
are
there.
I'm
sorry
excuse
me.
H
And
so
I
I
do,
I
don't
know
what
will
happen
during
the
time
period
to
the
to
the
postponed
meeting
postponed
hearing,
but
I
do
think
that
I
will
personally
benefit
from
going
over
the
packet
again
and
considering
the
comments
that
were
made
today.
So
I
find
the
time
to
be
helpful.
Z
Worries,
thank
you.
I'm
with
you,
chair
olson.
I
don't
really
know
what
could
change
in
the
next
month
or
so.
If
we're
in
support
of
the
rezoning,
I
think
we
should
just
do
it
tonight
and
if
we
have
enough
questions
and
we
don't
think
it
works
there,
then
I
think
we
should
just
vote
against
it
tonight.
I
think
the
applicant
needs
to
do
better
in
the
future
about
reaching
out
to
residents,
regardless
of
what
we
decided
to
do
tonight.
Z
I
would
not
be
supportive
of
any
deviations
from
the
code
in
terms
of
the
window
openings
or
the
material
standards.
I
thought
staff
did
a
good
job
presenting
on
that
stuff.
It
seemed
really
cut
and
dry
to
me
and
I
don't
I
don't
see
the
need
to
deviate
from
those
right
now.
So
I
would
like.
I
personally
would
like
to
vote
on
it
tonight.
Z
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
residents
that
came
out
for
it,
it's
already
a
long
meeting
and
I
think
I'm
asking
people
to
come
back
in
another
month.
If
we're
not
gonna,
I
don't
really
know
what
could
change
they're,
not
gonna,
add
par.
I
don't
think
they're
gonna
add
parking
to
the
site.
I
don't
think
they're
gonna
lower
the
building
or
reduce
the
number
of
units,
they
might
add
a
couple
more
trees,
but
we
could
add
that
as
a
condition.
Z
N
I
agree
with
what
commissioner
mcguire
just
said.
I
think
we've
you
know
the
public's
come
out
is
so
apparently
for
this
tonight
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
disservice
to
him
continue
it
just
for
the
fact
that
I
think
I
know
how
I
stand
on
this
vote
and
and
would
be
ready
to
to
vote
on
it
tonight,
if
need
be.
I
think
enough
questions
came
up
for
me
from
the
public
about
this
site.
Specifically,
we
do
do
this
type
of
work,
often,
but
usually
it's
a
little
bit
more
cut
and
dry.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Marwa
kimberly.
Could
you
maybe
just
talk
about
what
it
would
look
like
if
we
did
continue
it?
I
think
that
I'm
not
sure
if
I'm
right,
but
I
think
that
all
the
speakers
who
spoke
tonight
would
not
be
speaking
in
the
next
public
hearing.
K
That
is
typically
how
we
have
handled
the
situation
in
the
past.
We
had
22
speakers
tonight.
The
public
hearing
is
closed.
If
this
item
has
continued,
it
would
be
at
the
discretion
of
the
president
to
open
the
public
hearing
again
at
the
next
meeting
or
not,
and
if
it
is
reopened,
whether
or
not
we
would
allow
past
speakers
to
speak
again,
but
we
typically
don't.
K
We
typically
in
these
situations
hold
one
public
hearing
unless
there's
an
abundance
of
new
information
to
be
considered
or
the
design
has
changed
substantially
enough
that
it
would
warrant
additional
comment
from
the
public.
B
K
We
would
not
need
findings
to
continue.
I
think
it
would
be
good
if
we
could
be
very
clear
with
the
applicant
about
what
we
are
hoping
they
accomplish
or
what
new
information
they
provide
between
now
and
the
next
meeting
to
make
good
use
of
that
time.
I
believe
the
proposal
from
council
member
rainville
to
may
9th
is
a
three-cycle
continuance.
K
K
B
Okay,
thank
you,
commissioner.
Marwa.
N
Yeah
hi,
I
just
wanted
to
actually
just
my
comment-
is
directed
to
the
public
who
came
out.
Thank
you
for
all
your
comments
tonight.
I
think
they
were
very,
very
well
thought
out.
I
don't
think
I've
seen
five
presentations
from
the
community
before
and
I
think
the
amount
of
work
that
you
all
took
to
put
this
together
and
to
come
out
tonight
to
speak
on
that
was
very
informative
from
my
side
also.
So
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
and
I
hope
that
was
a
little
community
building
for
the
neighborhood
as
well.
G
Thank
you,
so
I
I
wanted
to
speak
to
the
reason
I
postponed
until
may
9th.
My
suggestion
was
based
on
the
fact
that
shanna
is
not
going
to
be
accessible
for
the
april
11th
meeting.
That's
why
I
extended
it
so
she
could
be
involved
in
this
process.
B
All
right
is
there
any
other
discussion.
Otherwise
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
table
to
continue
this
item
to
may
9th.
C
Did
I
get
it
backwards?
I
thought
I,
my
apologies.
If
I
misspoke
what
I
had
done
was
you're
right.
I
did
misspeak
my
apologies,
I,
what
I
had
done
was
four
gays
and
five
nays.
Is
that
what
you
had
kimberly?
Yes,
oh
correct.
B
Okay,
so
motion
fails,
so
we
need
to
have
a
different
motion.
B
Sorry
thanks,
you
don't
have
to
make
a
motion,
but
if
there's
anyone
who
would
like
to
make
a
different
motion
or
if
there's
any
discussion,
we
can
do.
H
G
Yes,
I
I
move
to
deny
the
the
rezoning
and
the
excuse
me.
What
was
the
other
issue
that
we
were
voting
on?
I
don't
have
my.
B
All
right,
so
we
need
to
come
up
with
findings
as
to
why
we
would
be
denying
the
rezoning
and
the
site
plan
review.
So
if
anyone
can
help
us
out
with
that,
a
commissioner
mcguire.
Z
I
can
second
and
try
to
help
make
some
findings,
so
I
think,
based
on
what
I've
heard
from
others
and
I'm
open
to
editing
any
findings
in
terms
of
the
site
plan.
One
of
the
staff
comments
is
always
about
the
injurious
use
of
the
property.
I
think
we
could
say
well.
I
guess
I
would
ask
kimberly
if
she
feels
comfortable
with
this,
but
that
it
would
be
injurious
to
neighbors
use
based
on
the
shadowing
and
the
blocking
of
the
garage.
Z
I
don't
know
if
we
need
to
take
these
separately,
but
I
would
say
that
the
goal
of
the
comprehensive
plan
is
to
put
high
density
housing
on
a
high
frequency
route
or
near
current
metro
station.
Neither
this
is
neither
of
which
central
has
them,
but
this
is
it's
actually
kind
of
difficult
to
get
to
central
from
this
area,
and
it
I
would
say
this,
didn't
this
application
so
far
didn't
meet
the
goal,
14
of
equitable
civic
participation.
K
K
That's
where
the
transits,
the
proximity
to
high
frequency
transit
finding
is
intended
to
be
applied.
I
would
encourage
additional
comp
plan
goals
other
than
the
civic
participation
one
for
the
rezoning
application.
If
there
are
others.
P
H
Can
we
be
concerned
about
what
to
what
degree
comes
into
play?
The
fact
that
this
is
a
all
single
bedroom
units
and
and
small
single
bedroom
units
to
that,
and
certainly
not
family
oriented,
is
that
an
appropriate
consideration
under
rezoning.
B
I
I'm
not
speaking
for
staff,
but
I
would
say
we
don't
want
to
be
too
specific
in
defining
what
a
family
is.
H
No,
but
I
I
understand
that,
but
there
is
a
concern
about
having
a
well
in
in
the
in
the
housing
area.
Family
housing
would
not
be
considered
to
be
a
single
family,
a
single
bedroom
house
unit.
Rather
that
is
a
term
of
art
that
would
refer
to
larger
than
one
bedroom,
and
so
I'm
I'm
happy
using
that
term.
But
if
you're
not
the
fact
that
it's
a
single
bedroom
and
they're
all
single
bedroom
is
of
concern
to
me.
K
I
would
just
providing
direction
here
not
make
the
findings
on
the
rezoning
too
specific
to
the
project
at
hand.
I
know
it's
a
little
hard
to
separate
those,
obviously,
because
the
project
is
what
necessitates
the
reason
owning,
but
because
the
rezoning
applies
to
the
land,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
this
project
moves
forward,
focus
on
the
comprehensive
plan,
findings
and
goals
as
much
as
you
can,
and
that
could
certainly
be
one
of
them,
but.
K
To
rely
more
on
some
of
the
other
goals
that
are
in
place,
there.
B
So
I'll
I'll
just
say
I
I
won't
support
this
motion,
so
I'm
not
necessarily
helping
to
make
the
alternate
findings
so
yeah.
If
I
mean
if
we
want
to
come
up
with
some
findings
or
if
someone
wants
to
state
them
and
we'll
just
run
with
it,
that's
what
we
got
to
do.
Z
Okay,
I
would
say
that
it
does
not
meet
policy
33
of
affordable
housing,
preservation
or
production,
because
it's
not
creating
affordable
housing
and
it's
removing
an
existing,
affordable
housing.
Z
I
don't
think
the
rezoning
fits
the
character
of
the
neighborhood,
because
it's
none
of
the
other
adjacent
properties
are
zoned
out
or
anything
across
the
street.
Z
Doing
my
best
to
find
these,
and
I
don't
think
it
would
meet
housing
quality
policy
47
because
they
are
asking
for
reductions
on
the
quality
of
the
build
and
the
architecture
or.
Oh
sorry,
that's
what
the
site
plan
I'm
sorry,
I'm
getting
them
mixed
up!
Remove
that
one
and
I'm
open
to
anyone
else.
Jumping
in
here.
B
Please
sweet
yep.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
table
to
deny
items
a
and
b,
which
are
the
rezoning
and
the
site
plan
review.
G
Thank
you.
I
I
want
I'm
I'm
going
to
be
voting
to
deny
this.
I
I
think
the
policies
are
correct,
and-
and
this
is
just
not
a
good
project
for
the
neighbor-
I'm
also
deeply
deeply
troubled
that
an
elected
official
would
make
a
promise
to
a
neighborhood
and
a
staff
person
would
make
that
promise
and
it
was
not
fulfilled.
That
is
very,
very
troubling.
It's
not
the
way
the
city
should
or
could
operate.
Thank
you
thank.
B
You
all
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
other
comments.
I'll
just
say
what
I
said
before
you
know.
I
think
this
is
a
pretty
straightforward
application,
and
so
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
motion.
B
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
so
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role.
H
M
J
B
All
right
that
motion
passes,
and
that
was
the
last
discussion
item
we
have
for
this
evening.
We
do
have
one
other
item
and
that
is
officer
nominations,
so
kimberly
is
going
to
help
us
do
this.
We've
never
done
it.
This
way
and
she's
going
to
walk
us
through
it.
K
Yes,
typically,
we
have
done
this
in
different
formats,
but
tonight
we
are
going
to
do
the
nominations
verbally
on
the
record,
so
we
will
start
with
our
president
position
so
that
was
formerly
filled
by
commissioner
smiley.
Commissioner
olsen
is
currently
filling
that
on
an
interim
role,
because
she
is
the
current
planning
commission
vice
president.
H
If,
if
commissioner
olson
is
willing,
I
nominate
commissioner
olson.
K
We'll
take
it
yeah,
we've
never
done
it
this
way
before.
So
we
can't
do
it
wrong.
I
don't
think
okay,
I.
K
K
All
right,
I
will
move
on
to
the
vice
president
position,
then
that
position
is
currently
being
filled
on
an
interim
basis
by
commissioner
marwa
is
officially
held
by
commissioner
olsen.
K
Commissioner
marwa
is
officially
the
current
secretary
of
the
commission,
commissioner
olson
thank.
B
You
I
will
say
commissioner
marwah
did
say
she
was
not
interested
in
this,
although
I
think
she
would
have
been
very
good
at
it,
but
she
has
a
busy
scheduled
travel
schedule.
So
I'm
going
to
nominate
commissioner
mcguire.
Y
K
Are
there
any
other
names
for
vice
president?
Otherwise
I
have
several
votes
nomination
votes
for,
commissioner
mcguire.
K
All
right
and
then
our
final
executive
committee
position
is
the
secretary
position
that
is
currently
filled
by
commissioner
marwa.
This
position
honestly
includes
a
lot
of
really
important
document
signing
and
other
things
that
make
all
of
the
actions
of
this
commission
official.
So
we
certainly
appreciate
commissioner
marwa
filling
that
role.
I
will
take
any
nominations
for
that.
One.
K
All
right,
we
got
three
there.
Any
other
nominations
for
the
secretary
position.
K
Okay,
so
we
typically
would
vote
at
the
next
meeting.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
from
the
clerk's
office
is
here,
because
these
are
all
uncontested.
Are
we
waiting
until
the
next
meeting?
K
Our
bylaws
say
that
we
take
nominations
at
one
meeting
and
vote
at
the
next,
so
we
should
probably
stick
with
that
all
right.
We
will
put
this
on
the
agenda
for
the
next
meeting
to
make
it
official.
Thank
you
ken.
We
will
make
it
official
by
putting
these
on
the
agenda
for
voting
at
the
next
meeting,
commissioner
rainbow
or
councilman.
G
Q
To
thank
the
city
staff
for
their
work
in
putting
together
today's
presentations.
I
just
I
know
how
much
work
goes
into
those,
and
I
I
appreciate
the
public
coming
out
for
them
and
coming
out
to
speak
about
them.
But
I've
worked
in
city
government
before
and
I
know
how
hard
those
things
are,
and
just
the
hats
off
to
all
of
you
for
all
of
your
work
today
on
those
reports,
thanks.
K
N
B
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
kimberly
for
walking
us
through
that.
Are
there
any
announcements
or
are
we
good.
K
So
one
announcement-
you
may
recall
the
project
known
as
france50-
has
been
in
front
of
the
commission
a
few
times
first
for
the
initial
round
of
entitlements
and
then
for
the
final
plat.
The
final
plat
was
actually
appealed
to
the
city
council.
K
K
So
I
don't
expect
a
different
outcome
at
the
full
city
council.
So
I
will
give
you
the
official
update
once
that
decision
is
final.
All
right.
