A
Good
morning
welcome
to
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee.
For
today,
which
is
may
5th
I'm
lisa
goodman,
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
committee.
I've
been
joined
by
a
quorum
of
the
committee,
which
includes
council
members,
chavez,
council,
member
osman,
councilmember
rainville
and
councilmember
chug
thai,
so
we
do
have
quorum
for
the
meeting
this
morning.
I'm
going
to
begin
the
agenda,
starting
with
the
consent
agenda,
starting
with
item
number
nine,
which
are
the
liquor
license
approvals
and
ten
are
the
renewals
11.
Are
the
gambling
license
approvals?
A
Item
number
12
are
funding
recommendations
for
our
be
tab
program,
our
business
technical
assistance
program?
These
are
grants
to
a
whole
number
of
organizations
working
on
this
program.
Item
13
is
a
commemorative
name
street
naming
change
item.
14
is
a
rezoning
items.
15,
16
and
17
are
setting
public
hearings,
as
is
item
number
18,
a
referral
for
stat
to
staff.
With
that,
I'm
going
to
move
the
consent
agenda
items
number
nine
through
18.
Are
there
any
questions
or
any
items?
A
Anyone
would
like
to
pull
seeing
none
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Those
items
are
approved.
We'll
now
move
to
item
number
eight
on
our
consent
agenda,
which
is
the
mayor's
recommendation
of
the
appointment
to
fill
an
unfilled
three-year
term.
Beginning
january,
1st
2022
to
tom
hoke
designated
as
the
board
chair
for
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
and
director
brennan
is
here
to
give
that
report.
Thank
you.
B
Pleased
to
present
this
report
in
the
mayor's
appointment
of
mr
tom
hoke
as
chair
of
mpha
board,
the
chair
position
has
been
vacant
for
a
couple
of
months
and
as
also
a
member
of
the
mpha
board,
we're
very
anxious
to
get
a
new
chair
on
board.
So
we
can
continue
the
really
important
work.
That
of
of
the
authority.
Mr
hoke
who's
here
today
is
brings
a
wealth
of
expertise
to
the
mpha
board
and
its
mission.
B
A
A
C
Thank
you
very
much
director
brennan
and
councilmember
goodman.
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
the
appointment
process
here.
B
Yeah
sure
madam
chair
councilmember,
chug
thai,
the
mpha
board
members
are
appointed
by
a
combination
of
the
city
council
and
the
mayor.
The
mayor
has
a
certain
number
of
appointments
that
he
makes
and
then
the
council
has
appointments
that
that
that
you
all
get
to
make
so
the
process
for
the
the
process
is
really
the
same.
There's
an
open
application
period
and
that's
that's,
announced
it's
part
of
our
committees
and
boards
process
that
the
clerk's
office
runs
and
so
that
pro
it's
an
open
process.
Anybody
can
apply.
B
In
this
case
there
were
two
applications,
so
there's
one
other
application.
In
addition
to
mr
hoax
and
staff
in
the
mayor's
office
reviewed
the
applications
and
determined
that
mr
hoax
was
the
was
the
most
qualified
candidate
for
this
position.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
in
the
interest
of
expediency,
I'm
happy
to
simply
answer
questions.
I,
although
I
will
say
that
I'm
honored,
to
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
as
the
board
chair.
D
I
understand
public
housing
well,
and
I
understand
that
it
is
part
of
the
ecosystem
of
affordable
housing
in
our
city
and
I'm
anxious
to
work
with
abdi
orsami
and
the
board
to
ensure
that
we
play
a
meaningful
role.
D
D
E
Thank
you,
mr
hulk
trey
goodman,
and
then
I
have
a
follow-up
to
that
and
show
us
the
theater,
the
job
that
you
did
there.
Part
of
this
job
is
important
to
be
able
to
work
with
communities
of
color,
specifically
immigrants
or
black
brown
indigenous
community,
who
overwhelmingly
make
the
population
of
public
housing
residents
who
are
oftentimes
being
displaced,
have
a
struggle
with
housing
affordability.
E
Would
you
be
able
to
also
walk
me
through
your
experience
with
helping
ensure
that
we
prevent
the
displacement
of
our
immigrant
communities
and
our
background
and
indigenous
communities
in
public
housing?
And
so,
if
you
can
walk
into
the
experience
you
have
in
regards
to
that
and
then
the
second
part
of
that?
What
is
your
plan
for
minneapolis
to
help
prevent
the
displacement
of
those
communities.
D
Thank
you
councilmember
for
that
question
and
madam
chair,
the
the
demographics
of
public
housing
have
certainly
changed
over
the
years,
but
but
the
role
that
it
plays
is
not
significantly
different.
So
when
I
was
initially,
there
was
a
large
southeast
asian
population
that
we
had
and
we
worked
very
effectively,
particularly
with
the
samurais
and
residence
council
at
the
time.
D
So
you
know,
I
think
that
that
we
guarantee
at
the
time
we
guaranteed
the
people
as
we
went
about
the
rehab
and
the
actually
the
demolition
of
parts
of
seminoles,
and
we
guaranteed
residents
that
they
would
be
able
to
return
to
housing
or
that
they
would
have
housing
provided
for
them
if
they
chose
to
move
to
a
suburban
location.
That
is
part
of
the
housing
mobility
effort
that
was
undertaken
as
part
of
that
consent
decree
and
now
I'm
sorry.
I
can't
remember
your
second
question.
E
And
the
second
would
be
what
would
be
your
plan
to
help
prevent
that
displacement?
If
you
were
to
become
the
chair.
D
Well,
I
think,
first
of
all,
you
know
it
wouldn't
be
solely
up
to
me,
but
hud
has
specific
requirements
that
prohibit
the
displacement
of
residents
when
there's
rehab
or
any
change
in
the
system.
So
all
of
those
things
are
already
in
place
and
it
would
be
my
job
to
make
sure
that
we
adhere
to
those
requirements.
E
Triggerman,
thank
you,
mr
hope,
and
then
my
last
question
is
regards
to
like
experience
and
if
not,
it
makes
sense
that
you
wouldn't,
but
in
regards
to
our
housing
market
right
now,
have
you
ever
or
the
position
you're
seeking,
like.
I
said,
a
lot
of
people,
our
public
housing
residents
use
section.
Eight.
Have
you
ever
been
somebody
that
identified
as
a
public
housing
resident
used,
section,
8
or
any
housing
assistant?
And
if
not,
what
would
you
do
to
ensure
you
can
relate
to
that
population?
E
F
D
Of
course,
of
course-
and
I
think
that
councilmember,
I
think,
that's
an
excellent
question
I
have
had-
I
personally
have
not
utilized
a
section
8
certificate
or
lived
in
public
housing,
but
I
have
family
members
who
have
specifically
at
1815
central
and
at
the
cedars
high
rises.
So
I'm
familiar,
I
am
the
kind
of
operator
I
was
as
an
employee
is
I
spent
my
time
out
in
high
rises,
in
particular
all
the
time
walking
the
halls
walking
the
stairwells,
making
sure
that
I
was
meeting
with
residents.
D
G
Thanks,
thank
you,
mr
hajj.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
G
As
someone
who
has
worked
in
non-profit,
affordable
housing,
there's
a
lot
of
funding
stream
that
different
housing,
affordable
housing
get
or
the
public,
I'm
sorry
the
secondary
housing,
but
I
believe
in
pha
the
only
funding
stream
they
get
is
through
the
hud
and
the
hud
is
strictly
difficult,
making
there's
no
other
way
of
manipulating
to
raise
funding.
G
If
that
is
individual
donation.
Anything
like
that,
it's
just
strictly,
and
that
creates
a
lot
of
challenges.
As
you
know,
keeping
up
the
building
and
making
sure
that
elevators
and
fire
codes
everything
work.
It
requires
continuing
updating
and
also
requires
services.
Residents
have
to
have
services.
There
are
many
residents
that
are
seniors
people
with
disabilities
that
live
there,
and
I
have
heard
many
times
that
it's
it's
been
very
challenging
for
minneapolis
public
housing
to
really
achieve
those
things.
G
D
Well,
the
answer
is
yes,
of
course,
and
you
know,
I
believe
that
I
have
the
ability
to
work
with
elected
officials
at
the
federal
level
as
well
to
ensure
that
we
get
the
level
of
funding
that
we
need
for
public
housing.
It
is
a
federally
supported
program.
I
also
think
that
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
in
terms
of
how
we
work
with
other
entities,
whether
it's
aeon
or
common
bond,
or
any
of
them
to
fill
funding
gaps.
So
it's
really
hard,
as
you're
suggesting
council
member,
it's
really
difficult
to
package
these
housing
programs.
D
They
require
so
many
resources
and
it's
hard
for
any
one
entity
to
do
that.
So
by
working
in
partnership
with
other
entities,
I
would
hope
that
we
could
bring
something
to
the
table
to
help
move
things
along
and
it
might
be
project-based
section
8
vouchers,
something
like
that,
but
I
mean
I
think,
working
in
partnership
with
others
to
ensure
that
we
are
playing
a
meaningful
role
in
that
housing.
Ecosystem
is
going
to
be
extremely
important
for
us
and
a
good
relationship
I
should
say
with
hud
is
important.
I
I
know
that.
G
I
think
the
waiting
list
for
for
public
housing
now
public
housing
is
close
to
10,
000
or
maybe
10
000,
and
that
is
of
course,
a
problem
and
that
will
only
probably
require,
in
my
opinion,
more
units
being
built,
more
housing
being
built.
What
do
you
and
your
leadership
plan
to
address
that?
And
there
are
families
that
are
waiting
five
six
seven
years
for
the
waiting
list?
G
What
do
you
plan
that
you
will
bring
and
what
is
your
plan
or
your
vision
for
next
five
years
or
ten
years
to
build
more
affordable,
more
housing
and
add
more
units
in
minneapolis
housing.
D
You
know,
sadly,
the
that
waiting
list
size
has
not
decreased.
It
has
not
changed
significantly.
I
mean
it
has
stated
that
you
know
ten
thousand
four
years,
which
is
simply
an
indicator
of
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
enough
affordable
housing.
So,
as
I
said,
working
in
partnership
with
others,
you
know
if
we,
if
the
housing
authority
attempts
to
stand
alone
and
be
the
sole
producer
of
housing,
it's
going
to
take
a
long
time,
but
working
in
partnership
with
others.
D
I
think
we
can
go
ahead
and
at
least
make
it
take
a
big
swing
at
trying
to
achieve
that
goal
to
provide
more
affordable
housing.
So
my
plan
is
to
work
in
partnership
to
be,
you
know,
really
big
in
terms
of
how
we
work
with
others
to
bring
resources
to
the
table
so
that
we
can
all
accomplish
our
goals.
It's
it's
tough.
It's
going
to
be
tough
and
I
think
the
reality
is-
and
I
have
said
this
for
many
years-
that
that
public
housing
is
a
has
been
a
federal
program.
D
That
is
how
it
started,
and
we
need
to
ensure
that
we
get
the
right
level
of
operating
support
operating
subsidy
that
we
have.
It's
not
good
enough
for
the
federal
government
to
fund
us
at
70
percent
of
what
we
call
pfs.
It
needs
to
be
at
100,
because
that's
what
their
own
formula
says-
and
you
know
section-
8
certificates
are
one
component
of
an
overall
housing
strategy,
but
we
also
need
more
of
that
and
we
need
to
create
more
affordable
housing.
Now
you
know
how
we,
you
know
the
2040
plan
may
present.
D
Some
opportunities
is
we're.
Looking
at
some
of
the
single-family
homes,
we
may
need
to
add
more
units,
we're
going
to
have
to
work
with
neighborhoods
to
ensure
that
we
get
the
kind
of
acceptance
that
we
want
and
that
we
end
up
with
a
product
that
enables
the
people
to
live
there
to
feel
part
of
the
community.
D
H
H
I
want
to
assure
you,
council,
member
and
and
tom
you're
a
perfect
example
of
your
effectiveness
when
you're
on
on
the
public
housing
as
an
employee,
there's
a
scattered
site,
housing
right
down
the
block
from
you
that
you
helped
buy
and,
as
you
said
earlier,
first,
it
was
east,
asians
and
now
that's
migrated
to
east
africans
so
you've,
given
them
the
opportunity
for
a
leg
up
in
america,
with
a
single
family,
home
and
you're,
very
effective,
you're,
very
responsive
to
the
neighborhood,
and
I'm
going
to
vote
for
you
today.
Okay,.
H
You
for
volunteering
to
serve.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
for
coming
in
today
and
and
sharing
some
remarks.
I'm
really
excited
that
you're
here
and
you're
answering
some
questions.
That's
always
a
good
sign.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
the
role
of
mpha?
Specifically,
I
really
appreciate
your
perspective
on
working
in
partnership
with
so
many
others
in
this
landscape
that
contribute
to
the
creation
and
preservation
of
deeply
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
But
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
role
of
mpha,
specifically
in
expanding
public
housing
and
the
tools
to
doing
that.
D
Of
course,
I
I
don't
know
if
council
member,
I
don't
know
if,
for
sure
it's
public
housing
that
would
be
expanded
as
opposed
to
affordable
housing.
I
the
because
of
the
status
of
the
public
housing
authority.
It
has
more
flexibility
in
how
it
uses
its
resources,
so
we
may
be
able
to
position
ourselves
to
fill
gaps
that
would
enable
affordable
housing,
even
if
not
owned
by
us,
to
move
forward,
whether
it's
using
project-based
section,
8
certificates
or
whatever.
So
I
think,
as
well
as
our
largesse,
really
as
a
public
agency.
D
I
think
that
makes
a
big
difference.
I've
already
been
in
conversations
with
people
from
aon
and
from
common
bond
to
begin
to
see
how
we
might
work
together
to
improve
the
landscape
of
affordable
housing
for
individuals
who
need
it,
the
10,
000
or
so
sitting
on
the
waiting
list.
Now,
we've
got
to
do
something
and
we've
got
to
bring
that
number
down.
C
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
yeah.
Can
you
tell
so
speaking
to
council
member
osman's
point
specifically
on
the
need
for
significant
repairs
across
the
the
housing
stock
of
of
affordable
and
deeply
affordable
public
housing?
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
how
how
you
see
mpha,
raising
funds
for
those
repairs.
D
Where
that
money
comes
from
yeah,
I
I
think
there
are
a
variety
of
vehicles.
Council
member.
I
think
that,
first
and
foremost,
getting
the
federal
government
to
support
public
housing
in
the
way
that
it
committed
to
you
know
you
know
decades
ago.
We
they
need
to
step
up
to
the
table.
It
was
their
program
that
they
created.
The
funding
system
that
they
put
in
place
is
a
is
a
product
of
the
federal
government.
So
I
think,
first
and
foremost,
we
need
to
go
there
and
ensure
that
we're
getting
the
resources
we
can
get.
D
I'm
not
opposed,
certainly
to
going
to
the
state
of
minnesota
for
bonding
authority
to
help
us
do
some
of
this.
I
think
we
could
do
that
as
well
as
working
with
mhfa
and
with
family
housing
fund
and
everyone
else
to
bring
together
these
resources.
I
mean
the
reality
is:
is
that
there's
no
silver
bullet
for
affordable
housing?
It
is
pulling
together
lots
of
different
resources,
and
you
all
know
this,
because
you're
approving
these,
these
deals
all
the
time.
C
Yeah
and
what's
your
perspective
on
a
city,
public
housing
levy
and
utilizing
that
to
its
maximum
extent
well,.
D
A
C
Yeah,
I
will
do
one
more.
Can
you
actually
just
talk
about
the
the
holmen
v
cisneros
case
and
the
consent
decree
that
came
out
of
it
and
what
your
role
was
in
that?
Yes,.
D
So,
at
the
at
the
time
we,
the
housing
authority,
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
the
metropolitan
council,
had
been
sued
by
the
legal
aid
society
and
the
allegation
was
that
we
had
intentionally
or
otherwise
created
pockets
of
poverty
that
hap
that
happened
to
be
comprised
primarily
people
of
color
and
that
with
the
original
sighting
of
public
housing
that
had
been
either
intentional
or
not.
But
that
was
the
effect,
and
so
legal
aid
was
suing
to
force
this.
D
The
allegation
I
thought
was
true,
and
this
was
you
know
several
decades
ago,
and
so
we
I
reached
out
to
congressman
sabo
at
the
time
and
hud.
I
knew
people
who
were
high
up
at
hud
and
we
were
able
to
get
a
conference
with
congressman
sabo
to
figure
out
how
we
could
get
the
resources
to
make
this
happen.
Now
the
political
environment
was
that
we
had
newt
gingrich,
who
had
just
come
into
office
and
he
had
his.
D
I
called
the
contract
on
america
and
he
was
trying
to
claw
back
appropriations,
and
so
we
sat
down
with
secretary
cisneros
and
figured
out
what
the
pockets
were
of
existing
funds.
So
it
was
one
of
those
kind
of
imperfect
settlements,
but
we
were
just
dealing
with
the
resources
that
we
had
and
we
were
able
to
lock
those
down.
We
came
back,
we
got
the
plaintiffs
to
agree
and
we
got
a
judge
to
to
agree
with
us
and
sign
off
on
a
consent.
Decree.
C
I'm
happy
to
speak
with
you
after
this
and
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
impact
of
of
the
consent
decree.
But
I
understand
we've
got
a
few
public
hearings
today
and
I
want
to.
I
want
to
get
us
moving.
Thank.
D
You
for
answering
my
questions.
Thank
you,
councilmember,
and
I
will
just
say
that,
as
we
hindsight
is
2020
as
we
look
back
on
whether
that
was
the
best
outcome
or
not
at
the
time
looking
forward
and
with
all
the
parties
involved,
we
concluded
that
we,
that
was
the
best
we
could
do
for
our
residents
and
for
the
community.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
chuck
thai,
mr
hoke,
thank
you
for
being
here
today
and
answering
questions.
I
hope
that
the
people
that
we
put
forward
as
our
own
appointees
are
asked
this
rigorous
set
of
questions.
I
think
we'll
find
that
none
of
them
will
be
able
to
answer
it.
That
says
something
about
your
history
with
the
organization
that
you
feel
very
passionately
about
and,
most
importantly,
the
people
who
live
in
public
housing
that
you
feel
even
more
passionately
about.
A
This
is
a
volunteer
position,
unpaid
and
it
is
chairing
a
board
of
other
volunteers
who
are
trying
to
do
their
best
in
order
to
do
right
by
the
thousands
of
people
who
rely
on
public
housing
to
ensure
that
they
are
not
unhoused
going
forward.
I
think
the
mayor
made
an
excellent
pick
and
in
fact
the
fact
that
you
were
not
the
best
of
friends
or
allies
and
you
stepped
forward,
and
he
appointed
you
says
something
and
what
it
says
is
that
we
need
you
to
help.
A
Do
this
volunteer
job
at
this
time
and
that
parties
have
come
together
in
the
best
interests
of
the
public
housing
residents
in
order
to
ensure
their
stability
and
make
sure
that
there
is
no
displacement,
as
they
are
working
forward
on
rehabbing
high-rises
right
now,
with
that,
I
am
going
to
move
approval
of
tom
hope.
The
mayor's
appointee
for
appointment
as
chair
of
the
public
housing
authority,
I'll
ask
the

to
call

We
operated
under

for

excited
to
kind
of
expand

have
a
little
piece
of
the
outdoors,
at
least
during
the
little
time
in
minnesota
that
it's
enjoyable.
So
there's
any

Welcome

how
great
being

J
J
I
am
presenting
an
application
from

The
address
of
indeed

Currently
they
have
an
on-sale
liquor
with
sunday

tap
room,
no

and
an
off-sales
malt
liquor
growler
license.
The
applicant
is
requesting
an
expansion
of
premises
to
expand
their
outdoor
patio
seating.
Indeed,
brewing
company
has
been
operating
at
this
location
since
2012.,
there's
no
change
in
their
entertainment
level,

Indeed,

floor

over

Very

were
made
to
this
location.
J
A
M
M
Indeed,
is
almost
10
years
old
and
in
that
time
we
have
grown
from
four
people
to
about
75
people
in
northeast
minneapolis
and
in
milwaukee
and
during
that
time,
throughout
the
last
couple
years
the
patio
has
been
a
lifesaver
for
us
because
of
the
people's
needs
for
being
outside
and
being
away
from
people.
So
this
added
space
will
allow
for
that
to
grow
and
continue
to
prosper.
Prosperity
for
us
so
ask
you
for
your
support.

welcomed
and
unanimously

with
our
business
plan.
N

With
that
said,
we
have
been
made
aware
of
issues
with
the
former
business
at
205
east
hennepin
avenue,
and
we
would
like
to
assure
everyone
that
jet
set
is
unlike
its
predecessor.
Our
business
model
is
completely
different
and
therefore
our
clientele
is
completely
different
as
well
jet
sets.
History
will
tell
you.
We
run
a
responsible
business
after
17
years
of
operations
on
first
street
north.
We
never
had
one
complaint,
citation
or
suspension
of
our
license.
N
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
sharer.
Thank
you
peter
and
susan
for
coming.
I
I
really
want
to
compliment
you
on
acknowledging
the
past
violence
that
was
in
that
facility
and
your
efforts
to
outreach
the
business
community
in
the
neighborhoods
to
assure
them
that
that
will
not
help
and
again
in
your
promise
to
be
available
should
any
issues
arise.
H
Having
said
that,
I
I
do.
I
will
support
this
and
again
I
appreciate
your
outreach
and
your
flexibility.
Hopefully
I
can
say
welcome
to
northeast.
A
On
council
member
rainville's
motion,
I
will
say
first
of
all,
you
are
lucky
to
have
them
I
had
jet
set
in
my
ward
for
10
years.
I
have
been
a
frequent
patron
and
I
will
note
that
jet
set
is
part
of
what
made
the
north
loop
the
north
loop.
In
fact,
when
jet
set
went
in,
nothing
else
was
there
and
the
neighborhood
grew
around
the
bar,
and
that
was
a
really
good
thing.
Mr
kirihawa
operates
other
businesses
in
town
as
well
and
knows
what
he's
doing
susan
has
been
a
tremendous
asset
in
the
community.
A
You
went
to
the
other
side
of
the
river,
and
I
do
think
that
you
are
the
kind
of
business
that
can
help
businesses
grow
around
you,
that's
probably
not
needed
where
you're
going,
but
hopefully
you'll
think
of
what
else
you
can
do
in
our
community,
because
we
always
need
wonderful,
visionary
operators,
like
the
two
of
you,
thank
you
for
being
here
today
and
council
member
rainville's
motion
to
approve
all
in

signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
any
opposed
that
is

approved.

you,

This
concludes
my
presentation.
At
this
time.
I
will
stand
for
any
comments
or
questions
are.
A
F
We
evicted
the
the
operator
is
a
strip
club.
It
would
it
had
a
reputation.
The
reputation
was
for
drugs,
prostitution,
money
laundering,
sex
trafficking
and
gang
activity.
It
had
a
terrible
reputation
and
we,
my
wife
and
I
stepped
up,
responded
and
evicted.
The
owner
bought
the
building
and,
for
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
we've
been
renovating
it
and
rehabbing
it
to
work,
live
and
I'm
here
today
to
say
I
don't
want
to
step
back.
F
I
want
to
see
the
process
continue
for
the
north
loop
and
and
my
biggest
concern
is
with
some
of
the
with
that
strip
of
buildings
with
some
of
the
gang
activity
that
happens
late
at
night,
and
we
just
can't
let
that
happen.
We
have
to
continue
to
improve
the
area
and
I
think
the
heinz
development
is
an
indication
that
there's
much
potential
for
that
area
and
I
know
you're
aware
of
that,
but
it's
going
to
be
450
apartments
and
200
000
feet
of
office
space.
So
we're
optimistic
about
the
future.
F
A
F
A
Bruce
would
either
of
the
other
folks
robert
or
jennifer,
like
to
speak.
P
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
having
me,
my
name
is
robert
rasmussen,
I'm
owner
operator
of
underground
music
venue,
llc,
and
I'm
here
this
morning
to
speak
about
our
business
plan,
our
intentions
moving
forward
and
to
address
the
concerns
of
the
neighborhood.
P
I
am
very
well
aware
of
the
history
in
this
building
and
on
that
block,
and
when
we
moved
in
four
or
so
years
ago,
that
history
was
just
starting
to
change.
As
he
mentioned,
the
establishment
in
the
building
adjacent
to
us
was
was
a
reputable
one
and
not
in
a
good
way.
I
I
did
know
the
owner,
and
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
our
agenda
is
the
same
as
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
and
that's
to
make
it
a
safe
space
to
improve
the
audiences
that
are
attending
these
events.
P
As
far
as
keeping
that
area
active
and
revitalizing
it
with
a
new
crowd
that
has
the
intention
of
having
safe,
clean
fun
in
the
area.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
made
strides
in
keeping
the
area
clean.
I
know
it
is
not
perfect.
There
is
a
bus
stop
there.
There
is
the
light
rail
there
and
it
has
a
history
of
various
vagrants
hanging
out
sleeping
there
living
there
and
we
treat
them
with
respect
we
clean
up
after
them.
P
We
ask
them
if
they
need
water,
but
we
are
trying
to
be
part
of
the
solution,
not
part
of
the
problem
here,
and
I
think
the
history
of
our
business
shows
that
and
we
hope
to
continue
on
those
improvements
and
be
a
a
positive
part
of
the
north
loop.
And
with
that
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
your
time.
Q
Some
notes
on
my
phone-
I'm
jennifer
oxborough,
my
husband
and
I
bought
the
building
at
414
third
avenue,
two
doors
down
from
what
the
underground
cafe's
current
space
in
2015.
We
there
was
all
sorts
of
terrible
stuff
going
on.
In
there
there
was
heroin
down.
There
was
an
illegal
nightclub
on
the
fourth
floor,
we've
renovated
the
the
entire
building
and
brought
it
to
back
to
its
proper
use,
which
is
for
some
residences.
We
have
artists,
we
have
women-owned
business
businesses,
we
have
photographers
and
we
have
a
residence
for
ourselves.
Q
We
would
like
to
oppose
a
full
liquor
license
for
the
underground
cafe.
I
don't
know
how
having
a
full
liquor
license
in
there
would
ensure
that
it
wouldn't
change
operators
and
turn
into
a
nightclub
down
the
road.
I
I
have
no
problem
with
the
general
entertainment,
as
I
feel
like
they're
already
have
dancing
and
amplified
music
in
there
frequently
and
the
outdoor
cafe
60
people
milling
about
on
the
loading
dock
is
just
too
many.
I
think
that
there
should
be
seated
as
other
outdoor
cafes.
Q
It
shouldn't
just
be
standing
bar
people
out
there
drinking.
We
have
residents
our
neighbor
bruce
slimbrick
also
has
put
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
into
changing
the
atmosphere
of
this
block,
and
I
don't
think
that
it's
it's
necessary
for
everybody
to
be
outside
partying
on
the
loading
dock
outside
our
building.
Q
I
think
we
all
know
the
history
of
the
eight
people
being
shot
in
that
space,
but
beyond
that,
in
subsequent
clubs
they
put
in
you
know,
weapon
detectors,
metal
detectors
and
all
the
violence
got
sent
outside
into
april
of
17.
There
was
a
shot
spotter
put
outside
my
building.
This
all
continued
until
actually
no
club
existed
in
that
space
anymore
and
I'm
just
terribly
worried
that
this
will
be
a
draw
for
that
same
gang
violence.
Q
Q
I
you
have
been
a
good
neighbor
so
far,
and
I
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
just
hope
that
we
can
all
agree
that
the
neighborhood
this
block
in
the
neighborhood
needs
to
move
forward
and
out
of
the
the
this
sort
of
gang
draw
that
it's
had.
It's
a
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
no
man's
land
there
between
parking
sea
and
the
ballpark
and
we'd
like
to
create
a
feeling
of
ownership.
There.
A
H
Thank
you,
man,
I'm
sure
I
have
not
had
a
chance
yet
to
talk
to
mr
rasmussen.
Typically,
people
contact
my
office
for
an
appointment.
I'd
love
that
opportunity
to
speak
with
you,
so
I
would
like
to
move
to
delay
this
one
cycle,
so
I
have
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
further
comments
or
questions
from
members
of
the
committee,
seeing
none
on
the
motion
to
continue
one
cycle
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
has
been
continued
in
committee.
One
cycle,
I
I
I
would
assume
that
we
have
decided
the
public
hearing
is
closed.
Okay,
great.
Thank
you.
We'll
move
on
to
item
number
five,
the
camden
social
club
and
mr
carterelle
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
R
R
R
A
R
A
I'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
five.
I
understand
there
are
two
people,
mr
mayfield
and
mr
class,
who
are
here
to
speak.
I'd,
welcome
you
to
come
forward
at
this
time.
Sir.
Thank.
S
You,
madam
sharon
committee
members,
alfonzo
mayfield
owner
operator
of
the
camden
social.
The
biggest
thing
I
wanted
to
to
talk
about
today
is
want
to
express
my
excitement
for
this
venture
there's
an
issue
in
our
in
our
city
and
there,
and
that
is
there's
not
enough
spaces
to
attend
safe,
fun,
affordable
spaces
to
attend
within
our
neighborhoods,
and
that's
the
issue
that
we're
looking
to
address.
I
also
want
to
talk
about
these
concerns
about
this
space.
I'm
well
aware
of
the
history
of
the
camden
tavern.
S
S
Our
plan
is
to
convert
this
tavern
bar
excuse
me
into
more
of
a
upscale
restaurant
and
imagine
that
within
the
neighborhood,
that's
what
we
want
to
bring
here
so
again
we're
we're
well
aware
of
all
of
the
the
the
issues
that
happens
outside
of
the
tavern
and
within
the
neighborhood,
and
those
are
the
things
that
we're
looking
to
to
address
as
well.
We
want
again
as
a
member
of
that
community,
we
want
the
exact
same
things.
S
So
I'm
aware
that
there
that
there
are
some
concerns,
my
I've
I've
been
talking
to
the
neighbors,
and
my
thing
is
our
door
is
open.
My
phone
is
available.
Let's
work
on
this
together,
we
want
to
be
able
to
bring
a
safe,
affordable,
cool
space
to
this
neighborhood.
A
T
Hi,
my
name
is
gerard
class
from
bloomington
and
I'm
a
business
partner
with
fonzie
in
this
venture.
I
am
a
restaurant
owner
in
minneapolis
I
own
sobol
and
bad
wings.
I'm
also
a
partner
in
gray's
in
the
north
loop
and
have
about
15
years
of
experience
operating
and
understand
how
to
work
in
these
environments.
I
think
for
camden
tavern,
it's
really
impactful
and
a
really
good
opportunity
to
have
some
african-americans
own
a
business
in
this
neighborhood.
T
I
think
it's
part
of
the
change
that
we
want
to
see,
and
myself
and
alfonso
have
also
been
a
part
of
doing
work
in
this
neighborhood
previous
to
purchasing
this
business,
and
so
I've
been
a
part
of
work.
That's
been
done
in
the
grocery
store
in
the
market,
providing
food
classes
and
a
lot
of
the
work
with
camdentown
narrative.
That's
been
going
on
with
some
amazing
work
that
houston
weissman
doing
in
that
area,
and
we
want
to
continue
that.
T
I
think
I
think
a
full-service
restaurant
in
that
area
is
the
next
step
into
kind
of
creating
that
excitement
and
we're
also
excited
to
create
job
opportunities.
We're
aware
of
the
safety
concerns,
we're
also
working
with
consultant
on
security
as
well
to
do
some
retraining
and
also
adding
more
management
onto
the
building,
to
make
sure
that
there's
managers
available
at
all
times
to
help
do
work
through
some
of
those
issues
and
excited
about
this
venture.
T
A
U
U
Called
him
and
said:
well,
there's
there's
there's
been
gunshots
and
they
say
well
how
many
gunshots
they
want
to
know
they
want
you
to
count
the
bullets.
You
know,
and
I
said
well,
let's
see
so
there
were
three
and
then
there
were
six
and
oh
they're
shooting
it.
Oh,
my
god,
it's
an
automatic
weapon.
There's
there's
a
freaking
machine
gun
out
there.
U
The
guy
who
came
up
here
said
there
were
like
three
calls
on
this
place.
I
I
know
of
many
many
calls
regarding
gunshots
gunfire
this.
The
lot
next
to
this
place
is
covered
with
broken
beer
bottles
and
liquor
bottles
on
a
regular
basis.
During
the
summer
now
granted
it's
been
cold
out
and
raining
out.
So
we
haven't
had
a
lot
of
this.
U
The
noise
from
the
parking
lot
rattles
the
windows
of
my
house
every
weekend
just
constantly
the
people
who
lived
right
behind
the
bar
4600
camden,
moved
out.
They
were
ready
to
abandon
their
house.
Fortunately
it
was
really
hot
market,
so
they
actually
sold
the
house
and
the
lady
who
moved
in
maria
had
no
idea.
She's
moving
in
a
single
mother
with
her
child
had
no
idea
what
she
was
walking
into.
U
All
of
these
and
what
happened
related
to
4601
cam
lindell
avenue
fire
there
police
presence
there
for
gunshots,
a
lady
was
shot
in
the
leg.
Another
guy
was
shot
and
he
managed
to
walk
down
the
block
and
go
down
the
alley.
So
they
don't
relate
that
to
4601
camden.
But
all
of
this
happened
at
46.01
can't
I'm
sorry
lindell
avenue
north
the
camden
tavern
the
violence,
the
noise,
the
noise.
U
They
have
a
big
league
light
on
the
parking
lot,
which
is
the
law
of
unintended
consequences
where
they
think
that
lighting
the
place
up
would
make
it
safer.
It
just
encourages
a
party
thing
where
the
people
at
the
end
of
the
night
come
out
of
the
bar
and
party
at
one
o'clock,
when
the
bar
closes
two
o'clock
three
o'clock
in
the
morning
in
the
middle
of
the
street
on
46th
avenue.
All
of
this
is
coming
from
the
camden
tavern,
suggesting
that
they
should
enlarge
and
promote
the
business
and
become
more.
U
If
you
have
not
had
to
dive
on
the
floor
of
your
house
to
try
to
protect
yourself
from
gunfire.
Well,
then
you
don't
know
what
I'm
talking
about.
You
don't
have
a
clue
what
I'm
talking
about
this
is
a
dangerous
magnet
for
violence
for
litter.
For
noise,
I
mean
just
trying
to
get
sleep
on
the
weekends.
U
U
U
I
would
suggest
we
don't
do
that,
but
I'm
just
the
voice
in
the
wilderness.
Thank
you.
A
V
V
I
I
know
some
I
mean
I've
sat
here
and
listened
to.
Some
areas
in
our
city
have
multiple
license
come
forward.
This
is
a
area
where
we
have
nothing.
We
have
no
amenities
as
such
and
we
we
need
people
like
the
mayfields
to
come
in
and
clean
up
the
small
resources
that
we
do
have.
We
don't
have
anywhere
to
go
except
the
camden
to
do
karaoke
on
friday
nights.
I
do
it
there
on
friday
nights
and
I
asked
him
to
make
sure
he
kept
the
karaoke
and
the
chicken
wings.
The
food
is
good.
We
don't.
V
We
don't
have
a
lot
in
the
fourth
ward,
where
we
can
actually
go
sit
down
or
meet
a
friend
for
happy
hour,
so
I'm
excited
to
partner
with
the
mayfields
and
their
partners
on
cleaning
this
space
up
on
making
sure
that
it's
a
safe
space,
a
clean
space
and
our
ward
gets
more
opportunities
for
this.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
council
members.
This
is
really
important
to
the
fourth
ward.
It
really
is.
H
A
On
the
motion
to
approve
the
staff
recommendation,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
and
he
opposed
that
item
is
approved.
Thank
you
for
being
here
today,
we'll
move
on.
Thank
you
for
being
here
also,
we
are
moving
on
to
item
number
six,
we're
not
going
to
have
a
presentation
on
item
number
six,
because
we
did
not
have
a
correct
notice
process.
So
we
are
going
to
ask
mr
mercer,
who
is
here
today
to
see
if
he
has
any
questions
and
then
we
are
going
to
continue.
W
Adam
chair
council
members,
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
myles
mercer
the
manager
of
the
business
development
group
at
cped.
What
happened
with
this
transaction
is
it's
a
reaction
to
a
lot
of
the
volatility
increasing
rates
in
the
municipal
bond
market,
and
so
the
project
team
and
its
underwriters
needs
a
little
bit
more
time
to
finalize
its
strategy
for
which
of
its
bonds.
It
wants
to
refinance,
and
so
they
need
another
cycle
to
finalize
that
strategy.
So
that's
why
we're
asking
for
the
continuation
of
the
public
hearing.
A
A
Anyone
anyone
sing?
None
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
I'll
move
to
continue
this
item.
One
cycle
further
comments
or
questions
from
members
of
the
committee
sing,
none
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
A
That
item
has
been
continued,
we'll
now
move
on
to
our
last
item.
This
is
a
quasi-judicial
public
hearing
on
the
decision
of
the
planning
commission,
for
which
this
committee
is
limited
by
law,
to
hearing
arguments
from
parties
to
the
matter
consisting
of
city
staff,
the
applicant
and
nearby
property
owners.
The
parties
are
required
to
limit
their
comments
to
our
argument
to
arguments
specifically
addressing
the
legislative
record
in
this
matter.
A
That
is,
unfortunately,
all
we
have
time
for
today,
this
meeting's
normally
on
a
tuesday,
it
was
moved
and
that
so
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
time
to
let
this
go
on
for
a
long
period
of
time.
So
we
won't
count
towards
the
public
testimony
any
of
the
time
staff
need
to
give
their
presentation
or
ask
questions
and
I'll
turn
this
over
to
miss
sether.
X
X
You
can
see
the
property
here
highlighted
with
the
black
rectangle
and
that
is
showing
the
existing
primary
zoning
map.
X
So
the
r1a
district
is
a
multiple
family
district,
but
it
limits
the
maximum
number
of
multiple
family
dwelling
units
to
three,
so
you
can
have
up
to
three
dwelling
units
on
the
property
as
of
right
now,
as
I
mentioned,
the
property
is
also
zoned
corridor.
Six
bill
form
overlay
district,
so
this
district
allows
a
minimum
or
requires
a
minimum
height
of
two
stories
and
a
maximum
height
of
six
stories.
X
X
Notwithstanding
the
staff
recommendation,
they
voted
six
to
three
to
deny
both
the
rezoning
and
the
site
plan
review
applications
item
seven
on
today's
public
hearing
agenda
is
an
appeal
of
that
site:
plan
review
denial
by
the
city
planning
commission
that
appeal
was
filed
by
the
applicant
and
he
cody
fisher
is
present
today
to
speak
on
the
appeal
item
number
19
later
on.
Our
agenda
is
a
discussion
item,
which
is
the
rezoning
application.
X
The
goals
and
associated
policies
are
listed
in
detail
in
the
staff
report
on
pages
five
and
six
kind
of
pulled
out
on
the
goals
here
and
the
policies
on
the
next
slide,
stating
that
the
goals
specific
to
this
project
that
are
consistent
with
the
comp
plan
are
to
eliminate
disparities,
provide
for
more
residents,
create
complete
neighborhoods
and
combat
climate
change.
X
You'll
note
that
we
identified
four
policies
in
the
staff
report
as
well
and
again,
it's
more
fleshed
out
in
the
staff
report.
On
pages
five
and
six
that
the
proposed
project
increases,
accessibility
to
housing,
provides
for
a
pedestrian
oriented,
building
and
site
design
is
proposing
some
energy
efficient
and
sustainable
features
which
I'll
have
the
applicant
probably
go
into
in
a
little
more
detail,
and
then
also
we
identify
that
the
proposed
project
encourages
housing
near
transit,
retail
employment
areas
as
well.
X
The
goods
and
services
corridor
is
a
half
block
east
of
the
site,
central
avenue,
there's
access
generally
through
the
park
from
the
rear
of
the
property
and
then
also
there's
a
pedestrian
access
via
the
public
sidewalk
about
a
half
block
south
at
spring
street,
where
central
kind
of
come
together
and
then,
in
addition
to
the
property
being
zoned
corridor
six.
It
also
has
a
build
form
designation
in
the
comp
plan
for
corridor
six
as
well.
X
The
property
is
also
approximate
to
a
high
frequency
transit
corridor.
The

up
about
half
blocks
south
of
the
property
at
the
corners
of
spring
street

southbound
traffic
along
along
central

Three
blocks
west
to
the
site
on

is
the

17

staff
notes
in
the
staff
report
that

for

In
order
to
approve
or
deny
rezoning
the
city
plan
or
sorry,
the
city
council
must
find
that
the
proposed
rezoning
is
or
is
not
consistent.
With
the
comprehensive
plan
and
staff
made
that
finding.
However,
the
city
planning
commission
recommended
denial.
X
X
Those
improvements
eliminated
all
of
the
alternative
compliance
that
was
originally
sold
with
the
original
application,
so,
as
proposed
the
project
complies
with
all
of
the
requirements
and
that
we
would
review
for
site
plan
review.
I
can
go
into
detail
if
you
like,
but
just
generally
speaking,
the
the
proposed
plan
complies
with
the
zoning
code.
X
In
addition,
there
was
some
discussion
and
findings
made
related
to
providing
a
driveway
access
to
the
adjacent
property
to
the
north.
The
applicant
has
updated
their
plans
showing
a
driveway
that
potentially
could
access
the
adjacent
property.
Just
staff
would
like
to
note
these.
This
particular
issue
is
not
specific
to
site
plan
review.
We
do
not
have
legal
findings
that
address
providing
access
to
adjacent
property,
but
this
would
be
an
agreement
that
would
have
to
occur
between
two
private
property
owners,
but
because
it
had
come
up
at
the
public
hearing.
X
A
I
A
Y
Y
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
chair,
goodman
and
committee
members
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
here
today,
I'll
be
followed
after
some
brief
remarks
by
my
attorney
as
well.
So
my
name
is
cody
fisher,
I'm
the
owner
of
635
van
buren
and
the
applicant
for
this
appeal
as
a
developer
and
social
entrepreneur.
My
work,
I
see
it
as
at
the
intersection
of
health,
climate
change
and
housing
in
minneapolis.
Y
My
commitment
to
this
work
to
improving
how
we
build
what
we
build
and
where
we
build
it
is
deeply
personal.
I
do
this
because
I
love
urban
neighborhoods
and
I
believe
how
we,
how
we
build
can
improve
our
quality
of
life.
I
also
believe
how
we
address
historically
unjust
development
patterns
and
shape
our
built
environment
has
an
immense
impact
on
community
health,
climate
resilience
and
social
justice.
Y
My
focus
is
grounded
in
the
future.
I
want
for
my
children
in
this
community
and
that
future
is
one
that
avoids
the
worst
impact
of
climate
change,
gives
more
people
a
chance
to
live
close
to
jobs,
parks,
transit
and
natural
amenities
in
minneapolis,
and
gives
them
that
chance
in
healthy
climate,
resilient
housing.
Y
In
contrast,
the
project
I've
proposed
provides
all
residents
with
unlimited
metro
transit
passes,
a
bike
hub
equipped
with
1.5
spots
per
unit
in
bike
and
washing
repair
stations,
uses
60
to
75
percent.
Less
energy
for
heating
and
cooling
and
building
operations
is
100
electrified
with
a
third
of
that
coming
from
rooftop
solar
and
will
emit
30
percent
less
carbon
dioxide
during
construction.
Y
I
specifically
chose
to
develop
this
kind
of
housing
in
minneapolis
because
of
the
passage
of
minneapolis
2040.,
the
ambitious
climate,
housing
and
transit
policies.
It
laid
out
in
the
reliable
path
that
I
thought
that
it
provided
for
those
interested
in
helping
sustainably
address
the
city's
housing
crisis.
Y
My
aim
was
to
build
a
project
that
exemplified
the
city's
climate,
housing
and
transportation
goals,
and
I
believe
this
project
unequivocally
does
that
as
cped
staff
and
advocates
like
minnesota,
350
and
the
center
for
energy
and
environment
have
submitted
for
the
record.
I
had
distributed
copies
of
those
letters,
but
they
were
also
in
the
record
earlier
and
critically.
It
accomplishes
all
these
things
with
no
variances,
no
conditional
use
permits
and
no
subsidy
coming
from
a
community
organizing
background
professionally.
Y
I
believe
stakeholder
input
does
add
value
and
improves
design,
and
that's
why
I
did
make
a
genuine
and
sustained
effort
over
a
four-month
period
to
get
stakeholder
input,
including
a
community
meeting
that
was
hosted
and
organized
by
the
neighborhood
association
and
direct
follow-up
via
email,
phone
or
in-person,
with
all
the
immediate
neighbors
adjacent
to
the
property
for
a
true
sense
of
that
four-month.
Effort
of
stakeholder
input,
please
see,
exhibit
one
from
my
appeal
statement
and
also
the
written
statements
submitted
by
christina
perfetti
the
executive
director.
Y
At
the
time
of
my
engagement
of
the
the
neighborhood
association,
the
next
10
years
is
a
critical
window
for
our
climate
and
housing
crisis
and
how?
What
and
where
we
build
the
housing
we
need
in
the
next
decade
will
be
decisive
and
whether
or
not
we
avoid
the
worst
impacts
of
climate
change.
It's
also
essential
to
the
question
of
climate
justice
and
resilience
in
our
community.
Y
A
Z
Thank
you,
chair
goodman,
my
name
is
mark
theroff
and
I
represent
the
appellate
and
applicant
for
the
site
plan
and
the
rezoning
you've
been
given
a
lot
of
factual
information
in
your
meeting
packet
about
this
project.
So
what
I'd
like
to
do
with
a
couple
of
minutes
that
I
have
this
morning
is
to
outline
the
legal
framework
governing
the
decision
that
you'll
be
making.
Z
As
you
know,
according
to
the
zoning
ordinance,
there
are
three
questions
that
you
need
to
ask
and
answer
with
relation
to
the
site
plan.
The
first
is
whether
the
site
plan
is
consistent
with
the
requirements
of
the
site
plan
standards
chapter
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
The
second
is
where
the
plan
conforms
to
the
other
applicable
zoning
ordinance
requirements,
and
the
third
is
where
the
site
plan
is
consistent
with
all
the
applicable
policies
in
the
minneapolis
2040
plan.
Z
If
you
answer
yes
to
all
three
of
those
questions,
this
site
plan
should
be
approved,
so
let's
walk
through
them.
First,
the
site
plan
review
chapter
staff,
confirmed
for
you
this
morning
in
comments
that
we
heard
that
the
project
complies
with
all
site
plan
review
requirements
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
Z
The
applicant
had
initially
proposed
some
different
things
which
were
believed
to
would
have
provided
a
better
project
than
what
what
we'll
have
but
has
modified
the
plan
to
incorporate
all
of
the
recommendations
of
staff.
So
the
first
requirement
is
plainly
satisfied.
Z
Staff
also
concluded
that
all
of
the
applicable
zoning
requirements
for
r3
zoning
are
satisfied
here,
including
bulk
and
height
yard
requirements,
setbacks,
lighting,
screening,
everything
and
there's
nothing
in
the
record
to
support
a
contrary.
Finding
on
that
issue,
so
the
second
requirement
is
also
satisfied.
Z
Finally,
staff
also
determined,
as
you
heard
this
morning,
that
the
the
project
complies
and
is
consistent
with
all
the
applicable
policies
of
the
2040
plan.
Z
The
urban
neighborhood
future
land
use
guiding
goods
and
services
corridor
requirements
because
central
is
just
a
half
block
away
and,
of
course,
the
requirements
of
court
are
six
staff
also
informed
you
that
the
project
is
consistent
with
eight
of
the
policies
and
goals
of
the
2040
plan.
So
the
third
and
final
requirement
is
also
satisfied.
Z
First
of
all,
it's
important
to
understand
that
there
is
no
injuriousness
test
for
site
plans.
That's
a
concept!
That's
applied
to
conditional
use
permits
into
variances,
so
the
planning
commission
simply
got
that
one
wrong.
Z
So,
even
if
there
were
actual
issues
relating
to
shadowing
and
the
garage
access
which
there
aren't
and
which
I'll
explain
in
a
minute,
in
this
case,
there's
no
legal
basis
to
deny
the
site
plan
based
on
those
considerations.
Z
Z
They
don't
have
an
easement
and
they
don't
have
any
other
legal
right
to
use
the
applicant's
property
and,
as
staff
pointed
out
this
morning,
issues
relating
to
private
access
rights
and
so
forth
aren't
a
proper
consideration
in
a
site
plan
approval
process.
That
being
said,
the
applicant
has
voluntarily
solved
the
neighbor's
garage
problem
for
them.
Z
Z
Z
We
would
submit
to
you
that
this
finding
also
has
no
basis
for
two
reasons.
First,
the
policies
that
are
relevant
here
are
the
applicable
policies
in
the
2040
plan.
They're,
of
course,
policies
on
a
whole
range
of
issues.
Policy
47
is
not
an
applicable
policy
in
this
case
because
it
applies
to
existing
housing,
not
proposed
housing.
This
is
obvious
from
the
title
of
policy
47,
which
is
ensure
the
preservation
and
maintenance
of
existing
housing.
Z
Second,
even
if
policy
47
were
relevant,
the
applicant
is
not
requesting
any
alternative
compliance
relating
to
the
quality
of
the
build
or
the
architecture
or
to
anything
else.
So
policy
47
has
no
bearing
on
this
site
plan.
A
I
I'm
super
grateful
that
all
of
you
signed
up,
but
almost
nobody
put
whether
you
support
or
oppose
it
on
the
sheet.
So
I
don't
have
a
good
way
of
calling
on
you
respectfully
other
than
the
few
people
I
know
so
it
it
might
make
sense.
I
it
might
make
sense
to
have
folks
who
are
here
to
speak
to
mr
fisher's
point
of
view
to
maybe
create
a
line.
If
you
don't
mind,
because
I
don't
have
a
better
way
to
do
it,
I
might
call
on
my
colleague
councilmember
schrader.
A
A
We
do
have
a
timer,
that's
more
helpful
for
you,
so
I
I
don't
want
people
to
feel
like
they're
not
going
to
be
heard.
I'm
sure
many
of
you
will
say
the
same
thing
and
now
I'm
taking
up
your
time.
Please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
AA
Thank
you,
chair,
goodman
and
committee
members.
My
name
is
yannick.
I'm
a
designer
and
sustainability
specialist
at
the
firm
for
disclosure,
I'm
speaking
today
as
a
minneapolis,
northeast
minneapolis
and
ward
1
resident
a
bicycle
commuter
without
an
automobile
and
a
community
member
excited
about
infill
development
that
provides
affordable,
transit,
oriented
density
has
impressive
and
rare,
reduced
operational
and
embodied
carbon
impacts
and
goals
and
supports
a
low-carbon
lifestyle
for
residents.
I'm
active
in
local
politics,
a
former
board
member
of
my
neighborhood
organization
and
a
proponent
of
low-carbon
transportation.
AA
I
am
also
a
passive
house
design
professional
and
am
happy
to
and
would
like
to
offer
myself
as
a
resource
to
this
group.
If
anyone
has
questions
on
meaningful
sustainability
and
passive
house
construction
and
how
that
aligns
with
the
city's
equity
and
climate
goals
as
a
climate
activist
and
architecture,
I
know
two
things:
one.
We
need
buildings
like
this
and
two.
They
are
not
happening
at
scale.
AA
Please
support
the
appeal
and
overturn
the
planning
commission's
misguided
findings
used
to
deny
the
rezoning
of
this
project
a
few
key
points
just
to
agree
with.
What's
already
in
the
public
record
and
has
been
said,
you
have
in
your
packet
a
letter
of
support
from
christina
perfetti
president
of
santa
at
the
time
confirming
the
developer
went
above
and
beyond,
to
engage
the
neighborhood
I'll
add
as
a
holland,
neighborhood
and
former
board
member.
AA
The
public
record
shows
the
developer
engaged
residents
well,
above
and
beyond
typical
process,
consistently
followed
up
on
their
concerns
and
changed
the
design
where
possible,
as
you've,
seen
to
accommodate
regarding
the
neighborhood
feedback
and
the
design
response.
The
public
record
also
shows,
as
mentioned,
the
concern
regarding
garage
access
to
the
north
was
brought
to
the
team's
attention
by
cped
staff
and
the
developer
immediately
conducted
a
turning
radius
study
and
adapted
the
site
plan
in
civil
engineering
to
accommodate
and
make
sure
that
access
is
preserved.
AA
Off-Street
parking
is
not
required
for
this
project,
and
space
instead
was
given
to
storm
water
infiltration
and
enhanced
bicycle
amenities,
which
are
hugely
important
as
we
tackle
the
climate
crisis.
In
addition,
commissioner,
albert's
suggestion
to
provide
transit
passes
to
all
residents
is
planned.
AA
AB
AA
AB
AB
I
understand
we
are
in
a
time
a
rapid
change
and
some
want
to
preserve
the
past
and
hyper
focus
on
the
now,
but
in
any
new
building
considers
are
not
what
is
feared
for
now.
But
what
is
the
life
of
that?
Building?
That
building
will
be
there
for
75
years
and
in
10
years
my
two
children
will
need
to
be
finding
one
studio
apartments,
one
bedroom
apartments
to
be
independent
and
live
on
their
own.
I
want
to
be
out
of
my
single
family
home,
but
I
can't
find
passive
homes
like
this.
AB
AB
This
is
needed
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
there's
a
lot
of
talk
about
economics
and
what
this
investor
is
willing
to
do
that.
I
don't
see
in
other
investments
because
we
have
minimum
code
and
you
can't
do
anything
about
minimum
code.
That
is
a
state
piece.
AB
The
fact
that
this
owner
wants
to
put
this
energy
efficiency
assets
in
that
presents
a
two
point:
a
two
dollar,
twenty
three
cent:
economic
multiplier
versus
what
the
majority
of
us
spend
in
utilities,
which
is
only
a
dollar
66
economic
multiplier.
This
presents
33
percent,
more
ability
for
people
to
invest
in
their
own
community
and
lastly,
I
just
want
to
share
my
own
experience
in
my
own
neighborhood.
AB
X
AB
AC
Sarah
goodman
members
of
the
committee,
my
name,
is
katie
jones.
I
live
at
2219,
bryant
avenue,
south
I'd
like
to
start
by
inviting
you
to
imagine
your
own
property,
whether
it's
a
house
or
whether
you
rent
you
pay
you
pay
for
that
property
through
your
mortgage
and
property
taxes
or
through
rent
and
in
our
current
economic
system.
You
know
that
is
your
space.
AC
Now
imagine
someone
just
walking
across
your
space
daily.
Unless
you
have
agreed
to
let
this
person
into
your
space,
it
feels
it
doesn't
feel
right
right
currently
at
635
van
buren,
the
neighbor
to
the
north.
Does
this,
though,
with
the
vehicle
with
the
vehicle
to
access
his
garage,
the
planning
commission
improperly
found
that
preventing
this
access
would
be
injurious
unless
there
is
an
easement.
AC
The
developer
is
not
legally
required
to
continue
to
allow
this
neighbor
access
to
his
property,
despite
this
you'll
notice
in
your
packet
that
the
developer
has
reached
out
to
the
neighbor
multiple
times
and
has
a
proposed
design
to
accommodate
access
to
the
garage.
If
that
is
not
good
faith,
a
good
faith
effort
and
community
engagement
and
the
definition
of
being
neighborly,
I
don't
know
what
is
I've
served
as
board
president
of
my
neighborhood
and
seen
many
a
development
come
through.
Most
developers
go
through
the
motions
of
neighborhood
development
review,
some
actually
take
feedback
earnestly.
AC
I
was
curious
about
the
process
in
saint
anthony
east
and
spoke
with
the
neighborhood
executive
director.
At
the
time
christina
perfetti.
She
told
me
how
the
van
buren
developer
reached
out
to
the
neighborhood
with
lots
of
lead
time.
He
quote
clearly
wanted
to
do
good
engagement,
work
and
asked
how
to
do
it.
He
eagerly
participated
in
meetings,
including
one
that
had
mail
notices
to
all
neighbors
about
the
project.
AC
The
developer
readily
took
feedback
on
things
not
relating
to
the
density
and
has
incorporated
that
into
the
design.
We
need
more
neighborly
and
thoughtful
developers
like
this
one
that
is
based
here,
building
mid-size
developments
and
that
are
sustainable
and
with
reasonable
rents.
Please
approve
this
rezoning
request
and
site
plan.

you.

guide.
I've
been
walking
through
us
for
over
10
years,
and
I
give
tours
to
this
neighborhood
and
all
over
the
twin
cities.
AD
I
live
at
1155,
lincoln
avenue,
unfortunately
in
st
paul,
but
I
would
really
like
to
live
in
this
neighborhood
and
I'd
like
for
affordable
housing
to
be
there
that's
an
opinion
I've
held
for
a
while,
and
for
that
reason
I
shared
it
on
my
social
media
channels.
I
have
a
social
media
account
called
one
minute
tours,
which
has
about
1.5
million
views
a
month.
You've
seen
it.
I.
AD
All
right,
I'm
doing
well,
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
with
you
this
video
that
I
posted
about
this
project,
which
I'm
really
interested
in,
because
tour
guides
were
interested
in
public
policy
and
planning
in
the
future,
and
so
I
shared
my
opinions
about
this,
which
is
that
I
feel
the
the
board
should
listen
to
the
recommendations
of
the
staff
and
I
think
that
we
should
approve
this
project.
AD
I
shared
that
in
my
video
and
had
an
overwhelming
amount
of
response,
and
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that,
because
here
in
this
room,
there's
a
lot
of
opinions
on
both
sides,
a
lot
of
residents
for
councillor
rainville.
I
have
strong
opinions
about
here
about
this
and
I
understand
why,
when
I
posted
my
video
about
this
project,
I
had
165
thousand
views
on
that
video
and
522
comments.
The
constituency
of
the
constituency
that
we
should
be
considering
here
in
my
opinion,
should
be
beyond
just
van
buren
street.
AD
A
AE
Thank
you
chris
meyer
601
6th
street
southeast
in
ward,
3,
former
planning,
commissioner,
and
I
think
in
legal
terms.
This
should
be
a
very
easy
case.
The
applicant
is
not
asking
for
anything
except
what
they
should
be
provided
by
right
from
the
2040
plan.
They're
just
asking
you
to
implement
the
technicalities
of
that,
and
I
believe
that
they
have
a
rock
solid
legal
case
to
sue
if
the
appeal
is
denied,
but
beyond
the
legal
obligations
that
you
have.
I
just
want
to
emphasize
why
you
should
want
this.
Why
I
support
this
so
strongly.
AE
You
know
in
all
my
time
on
the
planning
commission,
you
know
I
reviewed
a
lot
of
projects
and
I
have
never
seen
a
more
climate
friendly
one
ever
with
the
bike
lobby.
The
passive
house
design,
fully
electric
and
free
transit
passes
for
every
resident
that'll
do
a
lot
to
help
the
bottom
line
of
metro
transit
and
to
make
the
future
f
line
a
success.
AE
It'll
also
have
huge
economic
benefits.
You
know
I
couldn't
agree
more
with
chai
goodman,
who
has
highlighted
in
recent
months
how
important
it
is
to
create
more
housing
to
improve
our
tax
base.
Council
member
rainville,
I
know
like
out
of
everyone
here,
you
know
how
much
downtown
is
suffering
and
how
important
downtown
is
to
our
tax
base.
AE
Right
now,
your
budgets
are
have
a
lot
of
funds
from
the
federal
government,
but
you
know
with
the
work
from
home
policies
that
are
going
to
become
permanent
you're
going
to
be
in
trouble.
We
need
to
be
looking
ahead
for
future
sources
of
tax
base
and
the
property
tax
for
this
parcel
would
go
from
4
500
a
year
to
83
thousand
dollars
a
year.
It
would
add
40
thousand
dollars
in
park
dedication
fees
that
would
have
to
go
to
that
neighborhood.
AE
So
just
keep
this
in
mind,
and
you
know
I
would
ask
you:
does
the
council
have
so
much
money
that
you
can
afford
to
throw
this
away?
Thank
you.
AF
AG
Hi,
thank
you.
My
name
is
drew
hoefler
and
I
live
on
buchanan
street
in
ward
3
and
manage
my
own
rental
properties
in
multiple
other
awards.
I
urge
you
to
approve
this
proposal
project
and
rezoning.
I
met
cody
five
years
ago
and
helped
him
buy
a
duplex
in
northeast.
Since
then,
we've
collaborated
personally
and
become
friends.
I
can
personally
attest
to
that.
Cody's
passion
for
housing,
access,
climate
change
and
transit
are
genuine.
Despite
suggestions
to
the
contrary,
there
is
no
green
washing
here.
AG
This
is
kodi
despite
the
written
statements
from
minnesota,
350
the
center
on
energy
and
environment
and
other
building
experts
are
evidence
of
that.
I
know
for
the
fact
that
cody
takes
care
of
his
property
and
tenants.
He
is
responsive
and
he
is
a
good
neighbor
and
that
has
done
everything
he
can
to
address
the
good
faith
concerns
brought
to
him
in
his
engagement
with
stakeholders.
AG
I
am
standing
here
on
behalf
of
cody
and
his
integrity
and
character
his
project
exactly
what
2040
plan
aims
to
get
out
of
our
investors
and
developers
for
the
future
of
our
city
and
instead
of
giving
him
a
reliable
path
to
build?
What
we've
asked
for?
We
pulled
the
rug
out
from
under
him
in
doing
so,
we've
delayed
the
addition
of
vital
housing
in
need
in
in
need
added
costs
for
the
project
and
possibly
scared
off
many
other
developers.
We
need
to
invest
in
our
city.
AG
This
project
meets
every
requirement
and
ambition,
we've
laid
out
in
our
code
and
comp
plan.
Those
who
have
a
problem
with
the
van
buren
street
corridor,
6
built
form
had
the
opportunity
to
engage
to
change
it
prior
to
the
passage
in
2019
and
again
into
2020
when
the
city
went
through
the
process
of
adopting
the
build
form
districts
into
the
code.
AG
AH
AH
More
importantly,
there's
not
a
legal
reason
to
deny
either
the
site
plan
or
the
zoning
rezoning,
and
I
ask
everyone
to
approve
approve
this
appeal,
one
of
the
hardest
truths
for
the
public
to
understand
about
the
work
you
do
here
and
what
the
city
does
is
that
we
don't
the
city
not
me.
The
city
council
does
not
approve
or
disapprove
projects.
The
city
council
makes
sure
that
the
any
project
is
following
federal
state
and
city
laws.
AH
That's
a
very
big
distinction,
the
city,
and
in
this
case
the
law
is
very
clear.
This
is
a
corridor
six
lot
and
that
the
property
owner
can
develop
up
to
six
stories.
The
history
of
how
the
2040
plan
was
adopted
explains
why
this
block
and
every
similarly
situated
block
within
the
city
is
a
corridor
six.
Every
ten
years.
The
city
must
create
a
comprehensive
plan
to
detail
how
they
accommodate
the
projected
growth,
and
in
this
case
the
city
had
to
detail
how
we
would
accommodate
and
create
40
000
new
units.
AH
Additionally,
the
city
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
that
in
an
equitable
and
fair
way
to
accommodate
40
000
new
units
in
20
years.
We
need
to
see
growth
in
housing
in
all
parts
of
the
city,
but
especially
in
parts
of
our
city
that
are
close
to
downtown
and
within
minutes
of
transit,
just
like
the
development
here
and
then
why
this
block
is
designated
as
quarter
six,
and
this
is
also
why
the
city
and
staff
initially
recommended
approval
of
both
the
site
plan
and
the
rezoning.
AH
Finally,
you've
heard
from
a
number
of
people
about
the
issues
you
know
I'm
certainly
sympathetic
with,
but
the
hard
truth
is
that
these
concerns
are
not
the
law.
When
a
developer
has
asked
for
variance
is
asking
for
variances
in
height
or
setbacks.
The
city
has
some
leeway
to
ask
for
amenities
around
affordability
and
environmental
sustainability,
but
it's
worth
pointing
out
this
project
is
not
asking
for
any
such
variance.
AH
L
Hi,
my
name
is
lynnea
goddard
said
I
am
a
volunteer
for
neighbors
for
more
neighbors.
I
live
in
ward
3
at
224
3rd
avenue
northeast
about
a
mile
and
a
half
from
this
project.
I'm
also
a
student
in
the:
u
of
m's
urban
and
regional
planning
program.
I'm
here
today
because
three
years
ago
I
came
to
city
hall
to
testify
in
support
of
the
goals
of
the
2040
plan,
because
we
are
in
a
housing
crisis
and
a
climate
emergency,
and
we
need
more
homes
in
our
city.
That
is
still
true
today.
L
I
strongly
support
this
project
because
the
proposed
project
is
energy
efficient
and
designed
to
achieve
passive
house
certification
having
more
homes
like
this
will
help
minneapolis
achieve
our
climate
action
goals.
This
parcel
is
also
a
third
of
a
mile
from
the
10
bus
stop,
which
is
going
to
become
a
brt
line,
as
it
already
has
been
spoken
about
adding
more
homes
near
high
frequency
trends.
It's
going
to
allow
more
of
our
neighbors
to
get
around
without
a
car
which
will
also
achieve
our
climate
goals.
L
Right
now,
the
zillow
estimate
for
635
van
buren
is
416
thousand
dollars.
Keeping
this
parcel
a
single-family
home
does
not
preserve
affordable
housing;
it
preserves
a
single-family
home
that
only
the
wealthy
can
afford.
I
don't
want
it
to
be
true
that
the
homes
in
my
neighborhood
have
gotten
this
expensive,
but
it
is
true.
There
are
a
lot
of
reasons.
Homes
are
getting
more
expensive,
but
a
big
one
is
that
in
the
past,
we've
made
it
really
hard
to
add
homes
to
our
city.
L
Creating
a
shortage
part
of
the
purpose
of
the
2040
plan
was
to
create
clear,
consistent
rules
about
what
buildings
can
go
where
so
we
can
add
more
homes
to
our
community,
ignoring
the
2040
plan
and
blocking
more
homes
from
being
added
to
our
community
isn't
going
to
make
existing
homes
cheaper,
it's
going
to
push
prices
higher
and
higher.
I
support
it
and
still
support
the
goals
of
the
2040
plan,
because
it
is
a
bold,
progressive
plan
to
help
promote
housing,
affordability
and
make
us
climate
resilience.
L
AI
Hello,
anna
nelson,
I
live
about
10
blocks
from
this
project
at
221.
First
avenue
northeast
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
serious
housing
shortage.
If
we
want
our
workforce
to
continue
to
be
able
to
afford
living
here,
the
people
who
teach
our
children
in
minneapolis
the
people
who
stock
shelves
the
people
who
work
at
restaurants,
who
make
our
city
run,
we
have
to
build
more
homes.
AI
My
family
chose
this
neighborhood
because
we
can
walk
to
the
grocery
store
and
someday
to
webster
elementary
when
my
kids
are
old
enough
to
go
there.
We
bike
to
work
in
the
summer
and
we
take
the
bus
in
the
winter.
The
people
who
will
choose
to
move
into
this
building
and
these
small
footprint
units
are
people
who
are
doing
it
because
they're
drawn
to
this
lifestyle,
they'll
probably
work
at
some
of
my
favorite
restaurants,
maybe
someday
at
webster
elementary
with
my
children.
A
A
That's
been
sent
to
us
in
writing,
so
I
don't
want
you
to
feel
like
you
have
not
been
heard,
and
I
appreciate
you
being
here
we'll
go
ahead
then
and
start
with
the
30
minutes
for
the
neighbors
or
others
who
have
come
in
support
of
the
decision
of
the
planning
commission.
Again,
I
don't
have
everyone's
address.
I
do
have
some
so
I'll.
Ask
you
also
to
line
up,
because
I
don't
know
a
better
way
to
do
it,
and
I
apologize
for
that.
You
will
also
starting
at
11.
43,
have
exactly
30
minutes.
AJ
We
share
a
driveway
with
the
development,
the
proposed
development,
and
if
this
project
is
allowed
to
continue,
our
garage
access
will
be
eliminated,
deeming
it
useless
for
anything
but
storage.
We
hired
an
engineer
firm
to
look
over
the
developers
plans
and
they
confirm
that
our
access
will
be
blocked
by
the
proposed
building.
This
information
is,
in
the
public
record,
honestly,
no
one's
going
to
know.
AJ
What's
what
we
can
do
with
the
driveway
until
a
an
actual
survey
is
done,
the
the
the
drawings
that
cody
has
provided
the
developer
has
provided
are
just
there
are
just
architectural
drawings,
there's
no
actual
dimensions
taken.
There's
no
elevations
been
are
included
in
this.
Our
our
our
garage
is
elevated
from
the
alley.
So
you,
as
you,
drive
up
our
driveway
it's
in
elevation,
so
where
he
shows
us
pulling
into
the
driveway
is
actually
a
hill.
AJ
AJ
We
believe
we
do
have
a
prescriptive
easement,
as
we've
lived
here
for
over
15
years
and
everybody
who's
owned.
Our
house
before
this
has
used
this
property
as
a
driveway.
So,
in
conclusion,
denying
the
used
land
use
would
actually
support
the
2040
plan,
the
hard
goals
of
the
2040
plan.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
AF
My
record
I'll
try
to
keep
it
together.
I'm
a
terrible
public
speaker,
I'm
emily
carr
dmitry
carr
is
my
husband.
I
live
at
641
van
buren
street
we've
owned
our
home
for
over
15
years,
like
he
said,
love
our
neighborhood.
We
rented
a
duplex
so
we're
not
opposed
to
development
or
multi-family
block
over
we
loved
a
neighborhood
so
much
we
bought
a
house
in
the
neighborhood.
AF
AF
So
I
have
a
picture
here
of
what
our
neighborhood
currently
looks
like
in
the
front
of
the
house:
multi-family
home
single-family
homes.
This
would
be
a
picture
of
what
a
the
apartment
proposed
apartment
looks
like
be
smooshed
in
between
single-family
homes.
It's
it's
massive.
It
would
be
over
massing
takes
up
the
entire
lot
of
there
would
be
like
no
green
space.
We
all
have
backyards.
So
if
I
look
down,
you
can
see
everyone's
backyard
and
we
have
air
to
flow.
We
have
sun
to
shine
and
a
sight
line.
AF
This
would
just
be
like
a
wall.
We
would
look
outside
and
be
we'd
be
looking
at
a
wall,
so
I
really
want
you
to
think
about
how
this
would
affect
our
complete
loss
of
privacy.
We
also
have
a
stone
foundation
that
dimitri
talked
about
that
we're
really
concerned.
If
a
building
of
this
size
is
five
feet
from
our
lot
line,
we
would
just
get
water.
We've
done
a
ton
to
mitigate
water
coming
into
our
basement,
and
I
think
that
we
would
have
huge
issues
with
this.
AF
Like
you
said,
we
are
not
wealthy
people
and
we
have
spent
a
lot
of
money.
I
really
appreciate
your
consideration
and
time.
Thank
you
for
your
testimony.

Hello,
my
name
is
chris
jones.
I
live
at
625
of
van
buren
street
two
blocks
away
from
it.
Try
to
talk
fast,
so
we
can
get
more
people
in
when
the
2040
plan
was
occurring.
I
was
the
president
of
the
neighborhood
association.
We
are
a
very
involved
neighborhood.
AK
As
you
see,
these
are
people
who
live
on
the
street
in
the
neighborhood,
so
we
saw
that
this
street
and
I'm
so
thankful
that
the
people
against
or
for
this
had
brought
up
the
whole
idea
of
engaging
during
the
2040
plan,
because
that's
exactly
what
we
did,
I
received
this
email.
Your
timing
is
remarkable.
AK
We
were
meeting
with
heather
worthington
when
you
emailed
and
I'm
only
going
to
read
parts
of
it,
but
all
are
in
agreement
that
that
should
be
an
interior
three
like
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood,
and
this
keeps
getting
called
the
steve
fletcher
email.
But
the
important
thing
is
heather
worthington,
who
was
in
charge
of
the
2040
plan,
was
communicated
to
us
agreed
with
this.
So
we
said
all
right
great.
We
engaged
we
did
our
civic
duty.
Now
we
can
welcome
people
interior
three,
so
the
whole
neighborhood
nights.
AK
It's
been
clearly
committed,
communicated
to
cody
that
he
would
receive
our
support
if
he
switched
it
to
an
interior
three,
because
we
believe
that
is
what
is
right
for
our
neighborhood
and
we
believe
there
should
be
families
in
there.
7
700
square
foot
lot
he's
taking
up
every
inch
with
this.
We
just
want
the
scale
and
transition
from
single
family
duplexes,
four
plexes
to
a
larger,
to
make
more
sense
than
what
this
is
currently
doing.
I
feel
like
even
cody,
acknowledged
that
six
stories
is
too
big
because
he
went
for
a
four-story
building.
AK
So
having
said
that,
all
we
just
want
interior
three
and
family
friendly
family
friendly.
So
we
can
welcome
neighbors
into
the
neighborhood,
who
have
kids
that
can
walk
to
webster,
just
like
everybody
else
had
said
what
it's
a
great
neighborhood
about.
Thank
you.
AL
AL
Okay,
I'm
here
today
representing
those
neighbors
who
continue
to
email
me,
those
that
don't
live
on
van
buren,
those
that
do
that
say
something
is
wrong
with
this.
This
doesn't
seem
right
and
we
would
like
to
have
you
deny
the
appeal.
I
also
want
to
say.
I
am
sorry
that
you
have
been
lied
to
by
multiple
people
saying
that
we
were
contacted
and
called
and
doors
were
knocked
on.
That
is
not
true,
but
our
message
to
mr
fisher
has
been
very
clear
that
we
are
not
here
trying
to
protect
our
neighborhood
from
fourplexes.
AL
Nor
are
we
advocating
for
single-family,
exclusionary
zoning.
We
do
support
the
goals
of
the
2040
plan,
but
at
this
large
of
a
structure
at
market
rate
could
set
excuse
me
will
set
precedent
for
our
neighborhood.
Saint
anthony
east
has
43
percent
of
our
total
households
making
less
than
thirty
five
thousand.
We
have
to
serve
these
neighbors.
AL
We
have
a
community
park
with
a
playground
and
three
schools
within
walking
distance.
We
have
to
serve
these
neighbors.
This
development
will
not
be
affordable
to
all.
It
is
market
rate.
This
development
by
legal
definition
contains
one-bedroom
units,
has
zero
parking
and
serves
bicyclists,
so
this
primarily
serves
one
demographic
and
one
demographic.
Only
if
cody
fisher
truly
cared
about
how
impactful
his
developments
are,
he
should
be
working
in
harmony
with
his
neighbors
and
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
in
designing
good
faith,
and
he
hasn't
done
either.
AL
We've
asked
him
to
work
with
us
and
build
something
to
the
interior
three
built
form.
We
have
told
him
that
we
would
support
that.
We
would
like
him
to
serve
our
neighborhood
current
neighborhood
and
future
neighbors
in
the
needs
and
uphold
the
true
goals
of
the
2040
plan,
and
we
wouldn't
be
here.
If
that
mistake
in
the
built
form
wasn't
made,
I
also
would
like
to
let
you
know
that
I
will
be
the
main
applicant
for
a
comp
plan
amendment
to
change
the
built
form
for
the
onsite
of
van
buren
street.
AM
Hi
john
patrick
sutton,
I
live
at
843
summer
street
northeast
I've
been
a
resident
of
the
neighborhood
for
about
four
and
a
half
years.
I
wrote
my
response
due
to
the
fact
that
I
just
feel
that
this
entire
project
has
been
disingenuous.
AM
I
believe
that
more
time
has
been
placed
on
marketing
campaigns,
as
opposed
to
actually
getting
involved
with
the
community
and
finding
out
like
what
is
we're.
Looking
for
from
what
I
can
see
with
the
neighbors,
we
are
absolutely
for
development.
We
are
absolutely
for
diversity.
We
are
absolutely
for
the
environment.
We
want
all
of
these
things.
What
we
don't
want
is
a
giant
warehouse
being
placed
right
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
street.
Okay,
we
have
quest.
We
had
a
meeting
just
a
few
days
ago.
We
questioned
mr
fisher.
AM
Have
you
thought
about
possibly
building
a
smaller
unit?
That's
that
seeks
all
these
environmental
things
that
seeks
all
these
housing
issues
that
you're
raising.
He
said
flat
out.
No,
I
have
one
financer,
and
this
is
the
minimum
project
that
we
will
do
so
in
my
mind,
it
seems
to
me
that
this
is
more
profit
driven
as
opposed
to
community
driven,
and
that
concerns
me
being
a
neighbor.
AM
We
want
families
there
and,
unfortunately,
he's
not
helping
he's
not
seeking
out
any
other
type
of
financing
to
possibly
do
a
smaller
project
that
would
actually
be
more
conducive
to
the
neighborhood.
I
did
hear
today
from
his
attorney
in
his
presentation
talking
about
there's
absolutely
no
legal
reasoning.
I
I
disagree.
I
believe
the
zoning
was
incorrectly
applied
when
the
2040
plan
was
put
through,
and
I
believe
there
are
legal
grounds
to
actually
appeal
that
and
certainly
raise
that
in
court.
AM
I
also
find
that
the
policies
of
the
24
plan
are
not
a
slam
dunk.
I
find
that
these
signs
that
are
telling
us
to
make
we
need
more
homes.
I
find
it
interesting
that
half
the
people
that
have
come
up
and
spoken
in
support
of
mr
fisher
can't
live
at
that
property
because
legally
it
does
not
support
a
child.
Only
single
individuals
or
couples
without
kids
can
live
with
these.
So
half
the
people
that
talked
about,
I
need
more
housing
yeah.
You
can't
live
there.
AM
AD
AN
Yeah,
my
name
is
tony
sternberg.
I
live
at
733
van
buren
street
northeast,
so
just
north
of
the
proposed
development
and
I've
been
there
for
over
three
years.
Since
we
were
made
aware
of
the
project
in
january
of
this
year,
the
community
has
voiced
strong
opposition,
as
you
can
see
towards
this
project,
and
that
has
been
proposed.
Unfortunately,
there's
been
a
lack
of
engagement
from
the
developer,
mr
fisher
in
hearing
or
changing
the
plan
towards
what
the
community
has
been
asking
for.
AN
I
want
to
focus
my
time
today,
just
on
a
couple
of
these
areas
where
the
project
falls
short
or
both
of
the
neighborhood
and
the
2040
goals
and
number
one
is
lack
of
affordable
housing
policies,
33
37
and
38
of
the
2040
plan.
I'll
talk
about
importance
of
affordable
housing
production
and
preservation.
AN
This
particular
project
serves
none
of
those
needs.
The
existing
structure
is
a
three
bed
two
bath
home
built
in
the
70s,
which,
if
you
know
northeast
minneapolis,
that's
a
basically
new
construction
and
it
sits
under
80
ami
and
is
considered
affordable
housing
for
a
family
to
purchase
and
occupy
policy.
33
states
the
importance
of
preserving
naturally
occurring,
affordable
housing
wherever
possible,
removing
an
affordable
option
and
replacing
with
one
bedroom
marketplace.
Apartments
does
not
meet
the
goals
or
which
is
the
2040
plan,
or
the
community
standing
before
you
today.
AN
Second,
the
size
and
design
of
the
building
does
not
blend
at
all
with
the
neighborhood.
I
believe
you
were
all
already
shown
this,
but
we
have
another
picture
of
it
here.
What
I
find
interesting
that
I
believe
mr
fisher
actually
agrees
with
the
importance
of
this
sentiment
that
I
and
others
have
brought
up,
and
to
show
that
I
want
to
highlight
several
points
that
he
made
to
console
in
regards
to
his
past
project
at
2911
grand
street
northeast,
which
was
adding
a
new
structure
behind
an
existing
duplex.
AN
AN
Second,
he
wants
to
preserve
and
increase
affordable
housing
stock
in
this
particular
project.
Again,
nothing
is
being
met
in
those
with
those
goals
in
this
particular
one.
So
I
don't
know
why
it's
changing
from
one
project
to
another
and
third,
is
minimizing
the
carbon
footprint
and
even
in
that
plan
he
acknowledges
that
maintaining
the
existing,
affordable
property
significantly
reduces
the
carbon
footprint
that
has
already
been
because
it's
already
been
emitted.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today.
A
AO
Hi,
my
name
is
haley
yang
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
my
mother,
bowel
vein,
because
she
doesn't
speak
in
english.
She
lives
next
door,
six
to
nine
van
buren
since
next
to
635
van
buren
street
since
1997
my
family
and
I
are
opposed
of
having
a
four-story
23
complex
right
next
door.
If
you
live
on
this
block,
you
already
know
firsthand
that
sometime,
finding
parking
even
in
front
of
your
own
home
is
impossible
due
to
other
business
and
surrounding
our
little
block.
AO
Imagine
having
23
extra
cars,
squeezing
in
the
block,
cody
fisher,
left
a
note
on
my
mother's
door
last
summer
asking
to
buy
her
our
house.
I
called
no
question
asked
for
cash
in
the
quote.
He
did
not
identify
himself
as
a
developer.
AO
Never
approached
us
again
to
talk
about
this
current
development,
even
though
he
said
he
did.
Why
did
he
only
target?
My
mother,
personal
privacy,
for
homeowner
became
an
issue,
becomes
an
issue
with
this
land
holding
being
overlooked
at
all
time.
My
house
will
be
one
of
them
when
considering
residential
privacy.
The
question
is:
what
is
the
distance?
Does
a
person
feel
that
his
or
her
privacy
is
being
invaded
by
someone
viewing
from
the
outside?
AO
Well,
when
just
look
just
blocked
majority
of
the
sun
into
our
yard,
plus
we
have
a
garden
that
has
been
growing
for
more
than
20
years,
and
now
we
have
to
change
because
the
overlook
and
the
lack
of
sunlight
into
the
yard.
AO
A
AP
Hi,
thank
you
for
having
us.
My
name
is
carlene
wieland.
I
live
at
737
van
buren
street
and
I
would
like
to
just
connect
a
couple
of
dots
and
point
out
something
that
I
would
like
to
be
entered
specifically
into
the
public
record.
I'm
sorry,
I'm
nervous.
Okay,
thank
you,
south
minneapolis,
for
showing
up.
We
appreciate
that
and
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
to
talk
back
to
a
couple
of
those
things
just
to
connect
the
dots
at
the
bit
at
the
beginning.
AP
Ms
sether
showed
you
what
is
a
flat
map,
I'm
pointing
this
out
for
a
reason:
we've
had
multiple
people
reference
family
housing.
If
you
are
in
the
foster
system
to
mark's
point,
if
you're
in
the
foster
system,
you
cannot
actually
go
and
it
doesn't
use
any
of
these
these
properties,
because
you
cannot
have
an
individual
place
for
your
child.
That's
what
he's
referring
to
what
I
would
like
to
point
out
to
the
one
gentleman
from
northeast,
who
did
show
up
in
support
is
to
his
credit.
AP
What
I
would
like
to
point
out
here
is
that
this
is
not
trying
to
to
blow
up
something.
This
is
a
mistake
that
was
acknowledged
in
the
beginning,
jeremy
and
I
were
at
every
public
meeting
when
2040
was
a
whisper
in
the
air
and
when
it
came
out
in
the
strip
there
was
this
conversation
via
text
message
and
I
actually
wrote
it
bigger
because
I
forgot
my
glasses
right
here.
AP
The
text
message
from
my
husband
and
I
can
show
it
to
you
if
you
care,
but
the
text
message
was:
did
you
know
that
my
minneapolis
just
honed,
my
zoned,
my
house
corridor
six,
my
house
on
a
cul-de-sac,
sitting
two
stories
below
central
avenue
on
a
park
with
no
access
to
central
and
only
a
stairway
to
broadway?
I'm
thinking
your
planners
didn't
use
a
3d
map.
My
source
is
distributed.
AP
They
have
the
interactive
map
down
for
revisions
agree.
It
should
not
be
corridor
six,
so
I
don't
think
that
us
passing
what
we
would
hope
for
and
yeah
it's
previous
administration,
and
I
am
not
here
to
throw
anybody
under
the
bus
mistakes
happen,
but
I
don't
think
it's
ready
to
it's
that
we
should
be
compounding
that
mistake
by
many
things
that
have
been
acknowledged
in
the
past
because
of
one
development.
A
AQ
Hi,
I'm
evan
johnson.
I
live
at
634
van
buren
street
directly
across
the
street
from
the
proposed
property.
I'd
first
like
to
say
that
I
think
that
this
was
a
mistake.
It
shouldn't
have
been
corridor
six.
It
should
be
interior
three.
As
far
as
it
goes,
this
isn't
adding
more
affordable
housing.
AQ
It
was
mentioned
that
the
house
itself:
that's
there.
Somebody
wouldn't
be
able
to
afford
it.
Well.
Cody
told
us
that
a
studio
apartment
would
go
for.
I
think
it
was
just
over
twelve
hundred
dollars
a
month
so
that
I
I
don't
think
is
very
affordable
for
anybody,
let
alone
what
the
cost
of
a
one
bedroom
is
going
to
be
or
a
one
bedroom
plus
den
overall.
I
applaud
his
effort
to
be
green.
AQ
I
think
everybody
wants
to
be
green
as
far
as
what
he
wants
to
build
there,
but
this
site
doesn't
make
sense
for
what
he
wants
to
build.
It's
23
units
single
bed
and
it's
plopped
in
between
two
single-family
homes.
I
live
directly
across
the
street.
My
neighbor
to
one
side
has
a
single-family
home.
The
other
is
a
single-family
home.
I
have
a
duplex.
I've
lived
there
for
six
years,
but
we've
been
utilizing
it
as
a
single-family
home,
so
essentially
it's
surrounded
by
single-family
homes
and
it's
going
to.
AQ
AQ

A
AR
Hi
I'm
sylvia
radford.
I
live
at
648
van
buren
street
so
again,
I'm
down
the
block
and
across
the
street,
I've
been
on
and
off
the
neighborhood
board.
Since
I
came
to
the
neighborhood
20
years
ago,
I
raised
my
children
here.
AR
I
would
like
this
site
plan
to
be
denied
because,
as
you've
heard
before
the
corridor,
six
desert
nation
was
a
mistake.
The
neighborhood
was
promised
in
august
2019
that
this
was
a
mistake
and
it
would
be
fixed
and
we
trusted
in
good
faith
that
it
would
cody
fisher
has
not
really
engaged
with
the
community.
He
got
a
list
after
the
january
cena
community
meeting
the
first
communication
I
got
from
cody
was
this
tiny
little
slip
of
paper
one
week
ahead
of
the
meeting
two
days
ago.
AR
This
clearly
was
not
a
meeting
to
engage
the
neighbors,
because
there
was
no
time
for
him
to
take
in
what
we
said,
and
he
seemed
truly
surprised
that
we're
not
against
development
we're
against
development
on
this
scale.
We
want
a
consistent,
build
form
for
both
sides
of
the
street.
It's
crazy
that
you
know
if
I
sold
it
to
a
developer.
My
my
property
is
not
worth
as
much
as
the
one
directly
across
the
street
and
really
there's
no
different
in
access
to
bus
stops
between
me
and
across
the
street
and
at
the
north
end.
AR
AR
AS
Mistakes
happen.
All
of
us
make
mistakes.
I
think
all
of
us,
I'm
a
contractor.
I
continuously
have
to
adjust
to
things
that
I
overlook.
I
think
there
was
a
simple
mistake
made
here
that
needs
fixing.
We
can't
have
a
built
form.
That's
inconsistent
from
one
side
of
the
street
to
the
next
that
in
no
one's
book
makes
sense.
It
was
a
mistake.
AS
Cody
met
with
us
a
couple
of
days
ago
and
basically
he
told
us
that
he
specifically
designed
these
one
bedroom
units
to
be
less
than
775
square
feet
simply
because
he
knew
that
only
single
people
would
be
able
to
live
there,
but
he
also
winked
and
nod
that
you
know
he
knows
that
children
will
come
in
there.
The
reason
that
that's
done
as
a
landlord
myself
for
over
35
years
is,
is
that
you
make
the
most
money
off
of
single
units.
AS
AS
So
I'm
asking
that
we
just
do
the
right
thing:
make
it
consistent
between
there
and
let's
build
a
three-story,
duplex,
triplex
or
a
four-plex.
I
have
a
huge
duplex
at
the
end
of
the
block,
probably
one
of
the
larger
homes.
I
still
have
a
backyard.
I
still
have
a
front
yard.
There
is
nothing
left
on
the
footprint
of
this
place,
it's
a
monolith
in
the
middle
of
single
family
and
duplex
and
triplexes.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AT
Left,
I'm
gonna
be
so
speedy,
hello,
I'm
anna.
I
live
at
649
van
buren
street
I'm
here
today
to
voice
my
opposition.
Mr
fisher's
talked
in
the
press
about
how
this
property
will
bring
affordable
housing
to
our
neighborhood
and
that
he's
focused
on
social
equity
and
social
justice.
But
my
question,
as
my
neighbours
have
brought
up,
is
affordable
for
who,
with
single
person,
units
starting
at
12.50
and
no
elevator
for
accessibility,
except
on
the
ground
floor,
I
don't
oppose
development
or
the
2040
plan.
AT
This
is
not
a
plan
or
a
property
that
benefits
our
neighborhood
we're
two
blocks
away
from
like
10
to
12,
huge
apartment
complexes
of
which
were
are
basically
the
same
price
and
the
same
square
footage.
So
we're
not
bereft
of
this
style
of
housing
in
our
neighborhood
to
place
a
four-story
23-unit
property,
where
a
single-family
home
once
stood
is
to
completely
change
the
street
and
the
lives
of
everyone
living
on
or
near
it.
It
exploits
a
mistake
in
the
zoning
for
profit.
AT
It's
little
wonder
that
most
of
the
the
majority
of
support
from
mr
fisher's
plan
have
come
from
those
not
living
in
our
neighborhood.
The
main
theme
of
the
2040
plan
is
that
everyone
benefits
from
growth.
With
this
plan,
the
only
person
who
benefits
is
cody
fishing.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
AU
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
denise
mazzone
and
I
live
at
728
van
buren
street
and
my
neighbors
have
really
spoken
to
all
the
technical
things.
I
just
want
to
really
tell
you
how
I
feel
as
a
neighbor
there
when
I
come
into
that,
neighborhood
is
already
a
problem
with
coming
into
the
neighborhood
it's
hazardous.
You
turn
the
corner
in
your
nose
to
nose
with
another
car.
I've
almost
had
head
on
collisions
every
other
day.
Really
it's
a
problem,
and
so
he
talks
about
cody
fischer
talks
about
having
all
these
bicyclists
there.
AU
Not
everybody
can
ride
a
bike
right,
not
everybody
can
ride
a
bike
and
he
and
he
talks
about
social
justice.
Disproportionately.
Black
and
brown
people
in
this
city
are
not
homeowners.
This
is
a
single
family
home
that
somebody
can
live
in
a
family.
He
talks
about
families.
One-Bedroom
apartments
are
not
made
for
families,
I'm
sorry
he
won't.
If
you
come
there
with
your
two
children,
he
is
not
going
to
rent
to
you
so
another
thing
so
that
that's
even
the
missing
middle,
maybe
there's
other
young
couples
that
want
to
buy
a
house.
AU
AV
Hi,
my
name
is
christina
bush.
I
live
at
728
van
buren
street.
I
oppose
this
this
project.
I
approach
this
project
and
I
cannot
say
anymore,
I'm
so
sorry.
AW
We
are
both
73
years
old
and
this
development
does
not
conform
to
interior.
Three.
I've
had
a
few
hip
surgery
replacements
and
my
husband
has
a
heart
condition.
Parking
situation
in
our
block
is
often
difficult
and
adding
an
additional
23
units
will
make
it
extremely
difficult
for
us
and
other
led
folks
and
families
with
young
children,
access,
easy
parking.
AW
AW
AW
AX
You,
my
name,
is
bernie
brockhouse.
I
live
at
630
van
buren.
Everything
that
I
wanted
to
say
has
been
said
already,
but
one
couple
things
I
l.
As
I
say
I
live
at
6,
30
van
buren.
When
I
look
out
my
house
to
the
east,
I
see
a
nice
building,
nice
house,
635,
brick
trim,
brick
trim
over
the
door
and
a
big
beautiful
tree
in
front
the
drawing
that
was
on
the
northeaster
a
couple
weeks
ago
showed
that
same
tree
in
front
of
the
apartment.
Well,
no
one's
going
to
move
a
tree.
AX
That's
60,
80
years
old,
that's
impossible,
so
that
big
tree
would
go
the
other
shrubbery
around
the
house
would
go.
So
I
will
ask
you
to.
Please
deny
this
application
by
mr
fisher,
one
other
thing:
yeah
one
other
thing:
tuesday
night,
he
came
over
to
a
community
park
and
he
rode
his
bike
from
saint
paul.
AX
Well,
that's
nice!
But
he
said
no
one,
proud
of
him
to
say
this.
He
said
he
will
not
ride
on
central
avenue.
It's
too
dangerous.
Now.
Why
are
you
reporting
this
wonderful
idea
of
bicycles
and
using
central
avenue
when
the
promoter
himself?
Will
not
use
it
on
that
happy
note,
please
deny
his
request.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
H
Thank
you,
man,
I'm
sure
I
want
to
thank
all
the
neighbors
for
coming
down
today
and
giving
up
your
time.
This
is
a
difficult
time
to
come
down
and
what
I've
heard
today
and
throughout
this
process
is
very
disturbing
that
an
elected
official
from
this
body
gave.
Their
word
admitted
that
it
was
a
mistake
to
turn
that
into
a
built
form
six
and
said
he
would
he
would
fix
it-
a
pro-development,
pro-2040,
elected
official
and
and
that's
terrible.
The
fact
that
the
staff
was
also
in
on
that.
H
I
just
struggle
with
that
and
I'm
not
an
attorney.
I'm
an
elected
official
and
I
represent
you.
We
have
some
things
to
work
out,
mr
fisher,
the
fact
that
you
do
not
have
resolution
for
that
driveway
that
is
just
unimaginable
for
northeast
minneapolis,
that
you
can't
work
with
your
neighbors
to
guarantee
them
that
their
house,
that
they'll
have
access
to
the
garage
or
their
house
will
not
have
water
leaking
in
their
basement.
H
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
today
is
I'm
asking
my
colleagues
to
continue
this
for
another
cycle,
so
I
can
sit
down
with
mr
fisher
and
a
representative
from
the
neighborhood
and
let's
work
out
these
issues,
so
you
can
move
forward.
We
clearly
hear
that
they
want
development,
that
they
want
that
interior
three
there's
room
to
have
compromise
here.
I
would
like
the
opportunity,
if
my
colleagues
give
me
the
opportunity
to
work
out
that
compromise
with
mr
fisher.
I
would
greatly
appreciate
it.
I
am
moving
to
postpone
to
continue
this
for
one
cycle.
A
A
Okay,
that's
probably
something
I
can
support.
I
assume,
mr
fussy,
that
that
is
within
the
60-day
rule
timeline.
E
We,
I
think
sure
goodman
can
we
just
make
sure
that
that's
the
last
may
17th
is
that
the
final
date
I.
A
Appreciate
that
you
said
that,
because
we
are
operate
under
a
state
law
which
says
that
you
need
to
resolve
all
zoning
applications
within
60
days
or
they
would
be
deemed
approved.
So
it
would
actually
be
to
the
negative
of
one
side
to
extend
it
more
than
60
days.
So
we
wouldn't
be
allowed
to
do
that
under
law
unless
everyone
agreed,
which
there's
very
little
that
everyone's
going
to
agree
on
in
this
room.
F
A
A
Thank
you
very
much,
then.
I
also
will
note
that
that
includes
postponing
the
rezoning
because
we're
taking
up
both
of
those
issues
at
the
same
time,
so
I
will
ask
the
clerk
if
there
is
no
objection
that
we
would
then
stand
adjourned.
Is
that
correct?
Thank
you
all
for
your
patience
and
for
being
here
today.
We
stand
adjourned.
