SO THANK YOU. WE ARE GOING TO AS I SAID, MOVE ON TO OUR PROCLAMATIONS . WE HAVE TWO PROCLAMATIONS THIS EVENING AND THE FIRST ONE IS THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER 21ST 2025. AND SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE JOINING ME HERE THIS EVENING AS SOON AS I READ THE PROCLAMATION I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER AND LET YOU SAY A FEW WORDS. THIS ONE I THINK IS ESPECIALLY RELEVANT THIS THIS YEAR AND AFTER THE EVENTS OF THE PAST FEW WEEKS IN THE UNITED STATES. I'M VERY GLAD THAT WE CAN READ THIS. THIS IS A PROCLAMATION FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2025 WHEREAS THE SHARED GOAL OF PEACE INSPIRES AND UNIFIES PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD AS ONE OF HUMANITY'S DEEPEST HOPES. AND. WHEREAS THE THEME FOR THIS 2025 UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE IS ACT NOW FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD EMPHASIZING THAT EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN PEACE BUILDING URGING INDIVIDUALS TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST VIOLENCE, DISCRIMINATION AND INEQUALITY AND TO PROMOTE EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING TO FOSTER A MORE PEACEFUL GLOBAL COMMUNITY. AND. WHEREAS, OUR JOURNEY OF PEACE AND THE PRIORITY TO CREATE A CONNECTED WELCOMING COMMUNITY IS DEFINED AND EMPHASIZED IN BLOOMINGTON TOMORROW TOGETHER BLOOMINGTON STRATEGIC PLAN. AND. WHEREAS IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT TRAGIC EVENT AT ANNUNCIATION CATHOLIC CHURCH AND SCHOOL IN MINNEAPOLIS, OUR RESOLVE FOR PEACE TAKES NEW LIFE AND MEANING AMID THE HEARTBREAKING LOSS OF LIFE OF CHILDREN, THOSE INJURED AND THE IMPACTS ON OUR NEIGHBORS FRIENDS AND FAMILY. AND. WHEREAS, THE YEAR 2025 MARKS 18 YEARS OF CIVIC PLAZA AS A PEACE SITE WHICH REPRESENTS OUR COMMITMENT TO SEEK PEACE WITHIN OURSELVES AND OTHERS REACH OUT IN SERVICE, PURSUE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, RESPECT DIVERSITY, FOSTER INCLUSIVITY AND BE RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS OF THE WORLD. NOW THERE THEREFORE I'M MAYOR TIM BUSSE DO HEREBY PROCLAIM SEPTEMBER 21ST AS THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE DATED THIS 15TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER 2025. AS I SAID THIS IS THIS IS AN ANNUAL PROCLAMATION THAT WE DO NOTING THAT THE CIVIC PLAZA IS INDEED A PEACE PZA AND WE HAVE OUR PEACE POLE OUT FRONT BUT AS I SAID, TAKES ON A NEW NEW MEANING GIVEN THE WAY IN LIGHT OF THE EVENTS OF THE PAST FEW WEEKS HERE WE HAVE MEMBERS OF OUR HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION HERE TO SPEAK. I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO PLEASE THANK YOU TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION FOR BRINGING THIS PROCLAMATION FORWARD AND TO MAYOR BUSSE FOR SPEAKING UP AT THE CAPITOL AND SUPPORTING THIS PROCLAMATION. BUT THE WORK OF CREATING PEACE GOES BEYOND THE STEPS OF THE CAPITOL. WE MUST ALL PLAY A PART. WHEN I VISITED ANNUNCIATION LAST WEEK I COULD SEE THE GRIEF IN THE FOREST OF FLOWERS, THE CHALK MESSAGES ON THE GROUND AND THE BLUE AND GREEN RIBBONS ON EVERY TREE. TRAGICALLY THIS GRIEF IS NOT CONFINED TO ONE PLACE IN CONGO 7 TO 8 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED IN GAZA A PERSON DIES EVERY 12 MINUTES. IN SUDAN THEY ARE FACING THE WORLD'S LARGEST HUNGER CRISIS . THESE ARE NOT FARAWAY TRAGEDIES TO BE PITIED FROM A DISTANCE THEY REMINDERS OF HOW FRAGILE PEACE TRULY IS AND HOW URGENTLY IT MUST BE REBUILT. HERE IN BLOOMINGTON WE LIVE IN IN RELATIVE SAFETY. THAT IS A PRIVILEGE BUT NOT AN EXCUSE TO GROW COMFORTABLE. OUR DISTANCE FROM TRAGEDY DOES NOT FREE US FROM RESPONSIBILITY. IN FACT IT CALLS US TO ACT BOLDLY BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SPACE AND STRENGTH TO DO SO. DON'T LET THIS PROCLAMATION BE WORDS ON PAPER. IT MUST BE A CHALLENGE A CALL TO ACTION. PEACE IS BUILT IN HOW WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER, HOW WE PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AND HOW WE SPEAK UP FOR THOSE WHOSE VOICES ARE SILENCED. WE NEED A WORLD WHERE PEACE IS NOT SOMETHING WE ADMIRE FROM AFAR BUT SOMETHING WE WORK FOR EVERY SINGLE DAY. I BELIEVE WE ARE READY FOR THAT KIND OF PEACE. THE ONLY QUESTION IS ARE WE WILLING ? GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. HOW'S EVERYBODY DOING? MY NAME IS OMAR AL-MUSTAPHA AND I'M AN INCOMING MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. THANK YOU, MARTIN BUSSE FOR ACCEPTING THIS PROCLAMATION. AND AS MY FELLOW COMMISSIONER ALTHEA FRANSEN HAS SAID, ALL THE WORDS THAT NEED TO BE SAID. I'M EXCITED TO JOIN A GROUP THAT'S WILLING TO DO THE RIGHT WORK AND DO THAT WITHIN THE CITY THAT I WAS BORN AND RAISED. FOR THAT NO MORE COMMENTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FOR PRESENTING THIS PROCLAMATION. MY NAME IS ANITA SMITH AND MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE HER AND I'M THE CURRENT CHAIR OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. I WANT TO START BY THINKING YOU, MAYOR BUSSE, FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO PEACE FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO LIVE WORK AND PLAY IN BLOOMINGTON. LIKE SO MANY OF YOU, I'M STILL GRIEVING OVER THE SHOOTING THAT TOOK THE LIVES OF FLETCHER AND HARPER AT ANNUNCIATION CHURCH. THOSE THAT ARE PHYSICALLY INJURED AND THOSE WHO WILL LIVE WITH THE EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL TRAUMA OF THAT DAY FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. I KNOW THAT MANY INCLUDING MYSELF AND MY NEIGHBORS WERE IMPACTED IN SOME PERSONAL WAY BY THIS MASS SHOOTING AND I HAVE A HEAVY HEART OVER THIS TRAGEDY. BUT IF I'M BEING HONEST, MY HEART IS HEAVY MOST DAYS AS A PERSON IN MY 40S MY GENERATION HAS BEEN GRIEVING OUR ENTIRE LIVES BECAUSE OF ACTS OF VIOLENCE. TOP OF MIND FOR SO MANY OF US RIGHT NOW IS GUN VIOLENCE WHICH IS A UNIQUELY AMERICAN PROBLEM BUT IT INCLUDES WAR AND SYSTEMIC ACTS OF VIOLENCE BOTH NEAR AND FAR. COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL IN 1999 BEFORE I WAS EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE. THE WAR IN IRAQ WHICH KILLED 4500 TROOPS AND 100,000 CIVILIANS. RED LAKE HIGH SCHOOL IN 2005 SHORTLY AFTER MY 21ST BIRTHDAY . NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT DECEMBER 2012. I WAS IN MY LAST DAYS HOME ON MATERNITY LEAVE WITH MY FIRST CHILD. PULSE NIGHTCLUB JUNE 2016 PHILANDO CTILE JULY 6TH, 2016. A DAY THAT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER BECAUSE WE HEARD THE NEWS OF A PAIR OF HOURS WHO WAS MURDERED ON MY HUSBAND'S BIRTHDAY. SO THAT DAY WILL FOREVER BE MARKED THAT WAY. GEORGE FLOYD MAY 25TH 2020. YOU HAVE HEALTHY A WALMART IN EL PASO, A SYNAGOGUE IN PITTSBURGH. A GROCERY STORE IN BUFFALO. MASKED ICE AGENTS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE FROM OUR COMMUNITIES ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES WITH NO DUE PROCESS OR TRANSPARENCY. AND ENDLESS WARS AND VIOLENCE COMMITTED AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE, UKRAINE, LEBANON ,SUDAN CONGO ARMENIA YEMEN AND COUNTLESS OTHER PLACES TOUCHED BY VIOLENCE, WAR AND DISPLACEMENT. SO AS I THINK OF INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE AND THE THEME ACT NOW FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD. MY HEART IS HEAVY AND I CAN'T HELP BUT CONTINUE TO BE HOPEFUL AND ACTION ORIENTED. ALL OF US ARE WORTHY AND DESERVING OF PEACE A RIGHT INHERENT TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US FROM THE MOMENT WE'RE BORN. AND I ASK MY NEIGHBORS TO JOIN ME IN WORKING FOR PEACE AND ALL FORMS OF PEACE AGAINST GUNFIRE VIOLENCE SYSTEMIC VIOLENCE AND WAR. WE CAN AND WE MUSTONTINUE TO ADVOCATE AND WORK TOWARD A BETTER AND MORE PEACEFUL WORLD. THIS HOPE IS LARGELY WHAT HAS KEPT MY GENERATION MOVING FORWARD AS WELL AS WHAT MOTIVATES ME TO ACT AS I'M NOW RAISING CHILDREN OF MY OWN. WE CAN ALL DO SOMETHING. VOTE PROTEST. BOYCOTT. PARTICIPATE IN BYSTANDER AND DE-ESCALATION PRACTICES AND ADVOCATE FOR CHANGES TO LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS INCLUDING OUR GUN LAWS HERE IN AMERICA.

MY NAME IS SALLY MONTOYA AND I AM PROUD TO CALL BLOOMINGTON MY HOME SINCE 2008. MY TWO KIDS BOTH STUDY SCHOOL HERE AND THEY ARE STILL IN BLOOMINGTON SCHOOLS TODAY. I FIRST CONNECTED WITH THIS CITY MORE DEEPLY THROUGH MY WORK AT THE CREDIT UNION HERE IN BLOOMINGTON WHERE I HAD THE CHANCE THE CHANCE TO VOLUNTEER ALONGSIDE WITH THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND WITH BLOOMINGTON POLICE. THE EXPERIENCE OPENED THE DOOR FOR ME TO ENGAGE EVEN MORE AND SINCE 2018 I'VE HAD AN HONOR TO SERVING AS A MEMBER OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT MULTICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. IT HAS BEEN SUCH A MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE TO SEE FIRSTHAND HOW OUR POLICE SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY AND HOW THEY WELCOME EVERYONE TO GET INVOLVED SO THAT WE CAN BUILD TRUST AND TRULY FEEL SAFE. ONE OF MY EARLIEST MEMORIES OF JOINING THE COMMUNITY LIFE WAS DURING BLOOMINGTON HERITAGE DAYS. AND SINCE THEN I'VE LOVED BEING PART OF SO MANY EVENTS FROM FLEX FOUR PERSONNEL AT THE MALL OF AMERICA TO EVERY ACTIVITY I CAN ATTEND. EACH EXPERIENCE HAS MADE ME FEEL NOT ONLY WELME BUT TRULY PART OF THE CITY. HISPANIC AND LATINO HERITAGE MONTH IS MEANINGFUL TO ME BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME THAT MY CULTURE, MY VALUES AND MY TRADITIONS LIKE QUINCEANERAS THE OTHER LOS MUERTOS WEDDINGS AND BIG FAMILY CELEBRATIONS ARE PART OF THE FABRIC OF BLOOMINGTON. LIKE I'M SORRY. IT SHOWS THAT OUR VOICES AND CONTRIBUTIONS COUNTS AND THAT DIVERSITY IS NOT JUST RECOGNIZE BUT CELEBRATE IT HERE. ESPECIALLY DURING THIS MONTH WHEN SO MANY LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES ARE ALSO CELEBRATING THEIR INDEPENDENCE SOMETHING THAT HAS TOUCHED ME DEEPLY IS HEARING FROM OTHER MEMBERS OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY HERE IN BLOOMINGTON. WHEN I ASK A FEW LATINO BUSINESS OWNERS WHY THEY CHOOSE TO OPEN THEIR BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON, ONE OF THEM TOLD ME BECAUSE I FEEL SAFE PEOPLE IN NEIGHBORS LIKE ME THE COMMUNITY SUPPORTS MY LOCAL BUSINESS AND THE POLICE ARE ALWAYS DRIVING AROUND IN THEY ARE FRIENDLY, IMPOLITE. IN THAT MOMENT I REALIZED THAT MANY OTHERS FEEL THAT WHAT MY FAMILY AND I FEEL THAT BLOOMINGTON IS A PLACE OF SAFETY, RESPECT AND BELONGING. AND OF COURSE IT'S EXTRA SPECIAL TO LIVE IN THE CITY THAT IS HOME OF THE MALL OF AMERICA. A PLACE THAT CONNECTS PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COUNTRIES. AS WE CELEBRATE THIS MONTH. I ESPECIALLY THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE THE NEXT GENERATION OF HISPANIC AND LATINX CHILDREN GROWING UP HERE IN BLOOMINGTON. I HOPE THEY WILL ALWAYS FEEL BALLOU INCLUDED AND PROUD OF WHO THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY COME FROM. THANK YOU FOR HONORING THIS MONTH AND FOR MAKING BLOOMINGTON A PLACE WHERE EVERY FAMILY BELONGS.

MAYOR AND TO COUNCILMAN CARTER LETTING Y'ALL KNOW THAT I PLANNED ALL THIS AND I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY COUNCILMEMBER REAVIS WAS ASKED TO HOLD. IT DOESN'T MATTER EITHER WAY, BUT I HAD SOME COMMENTS ABOUT IT THAT I MAY BE RELEVANT TO THE CONVERSATION. >> COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO GO AHEAD. OKAY THANKS. SO I HAD A CHANCE TO MEET WITH THE RESIDENTS ON SATURDAY BEFORE I HAD TO TRAVEL IN THE TIME THE QUESTIONS THAT THEY WERE ASKING SEEMED REASONABLE TO ME BECAUSE I THINK WE HAV A BIGGER POLICY PROBLEM. SO I'M GOING TO I WOULD ASK IF WE DON'T THINK THAT BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE WASHBURN CIRCLE COMMUNITY WERE AT THE LISTENING SESSION TODAY AND A LOT OF THEIR QUESTIONS HOPEFULLY WERE ANSWERED AT THAT TIME IN WHICH CASE WE MAY NOT NEED TO HOLD THIS. HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I CAN'T PARTICIPATE IN THE LISTENING SESSION VIRTUALLY SO I WOULD LOVE IF WE COULD GET A RECAP ON THE DISCUSSION AT THAT TIME. I KNOW YOU NORMALLY DO RECAPS AT THE END BUT BECAUSE THIS IS RELEVANT TO THAT I'M WONDERING IF I CAN JUST GET A QUICK UPDATE ON WHETHER OR NOT THE FOUR QUESTIONS THAT WERE POSED BY ME OVER THE WEEKEND TO US AS THE REASON FOR THE HOLD WERE WERE ANSWERED AT AT THE AT THE LISTENING SESSIONS SUCH THAT WE MAY HAVE SATISFIED WHAT WAS NECESSARY IN ORDER FOR US TO MOVE THIS FORWARD KNOWING THAT THERE'S STILL OTHER CONDITIONS THAT NEED TO BE MET ON THIS PROPERTY GOING FORWARD. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. COUNCIL MEMBER DELLA SANDRA I WILL SAY THERE THE FOUR QUESTIONS WERE ASKED AND ANSWERED. WE SAW THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAD AND I KNOW THAT STAFF PROVIDED ANSWERS TO ALL OF THEM. I ACTUALLY ANSWERED ONE SPECIFIC SPEAKER I THINK WAS ROBERT I CAN'T RECALL RIGHT NOW HIS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MATURE TREES AND ABOUT THE THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. DID YOU READ THOSE INTO THE RECORD SO HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THOSE TWO WERE? WE WE DIDN'T GET WE KIND OF TOUCHED ON BOTH STORMWATER AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS THE THE WAY THAT THE FOUR QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED AND WERE PROVIDED I KNOW TO AT LEAST SOME IF NOT ALL OF THE RESIDENTS WHETHER OR NOT IT ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS TO THEIR SATISFACTION I'M NOT SURE I WOULD I WOULD VENTURE TO GUESS COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THAT THE ANSWER IS PROBABLY YES AND YES THAT THE QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED AND YES THEY WOULD STILL LIKE IT HELD AND THE CONVERSATION TO CONTINUE ON THIS. OKAY. THANKS. THANKS FOR THAT UPDATE. I APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW THIS IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE AND I DO THINK YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE KNEW AND CERTAINLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW I STATED WHEN THE RESOLUTION FOR OUR ONE ZONING CHANGE IS PASSED BACK IN 2023 WAS THAT THERE WERE GOING TO OFTENTIMES BE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE IS FOR NEIGHBORS. RIGHT. AND THIS IS IS THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF PROBABLY CONSEQUENCES THAT THAT WE COULDN'T FORESEE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE ZONING CHANGES ARE GOING TO AFFECT DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY SINCE IT'S A CITYWIDE THING. SO WHAT I HOPE WOULD HAPPEN I IF WE WANT TO TABLE THIS DISCUSSION WE WOULD BE FINE WITH THAT. I, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANYTHING THAT AND I AND I WAS VERY HONEST WITH THE TEAM THAT THAT SHOWED UP TO TO TO TALK TO ME ON ON SATURDAY WE SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR TOGETHER AND MY FRIEND CIRCLE I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANY YOU KNOW THIS IS FOLLOWING THE LETTER OF THE LAW WE DON'T LIKE THE LAW IS NOT REALLY RELEVANT IT'S WHETHER OR NOT THAT MEETS THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. RIGHT. AND SO AS A AS A CITY COUNCIL IF IF THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT TO SAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE ,IT'S IT'S NOT WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT'S NOT YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE CONDITIONS THAT ARE MET IF THEY'RE ALL MET YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T JUST SAY NO FOR THE SAKE OF SAYING NO. I WANT TO BE SURE THAT MAYBE I'LL ASK MR. JOHNSON IS THERE IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WAS BROUGHT FORTH TO YOU EITHER IN COMMENTARY OR TONIGHT AT THE LISTENING SESSION THAT WOULD MAKE IT REASONABLE FOR US TO SAY, OKAY, LET'S TAKE ONE MORE LOOK AT ANY OF THESE ITEMS STORMWATER TRAFFIC, THE FORESTRY PLAN, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING LIKE THAT THAT WOULD SAY YOU KNOW OR EVEN THE PLANNING TO SAY NOPE, THIS IS ALL CONFORMING AND AS A RESULT IT'S LEGALLY WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. >> MR. JOHNSON YEAH. MAYOR HAVING NOT ATTENDED THE LISTENING SESSION TONIGHT I WON'T BE IN A GOOD POSITION TO SPEAK TO WHAT WAS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETING. BUT WHAT I CAN SAY IS THAT THE ACTION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT COUNCIL ESTABLISHES THE LOT BOUNDARIES. THERE STILL IS ONE STEP THAT HAS TO BE FULFILLED AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL WHICH INCLUDE TREE PRESERVATION, PARK DEDICATION THOSE THINGS THAT YOU TYPICALLY EXCUSE ME SEE ON PLATTS BUT THE BUILDING PERMIT REVIEW PROCESS IS WHERE A BULK OF THAT MORE PRECISE SPECIFIC REVIEW TAKES PLACE WITH RESPECT TO STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND TRAFFIC BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT ESTABLISHES WHERE THE DRIVEWAY LOCATIONS ARE THAT'S IS ACTUALLY ESTABLISHES WHERE THE STRUCTURES ARE LOCATED AND THE TREE IMPACTS CERTAINLY WOULD BE FINALIZED AS PART OF THAT TREE PRESERVATION PLAN. SO THIS ACTION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT ESTABLISHES WHERE THE LOT BOUNDARIES ARE. IT DOESN'T ESTABLISH THE FINAL SOLUTION AND THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT I MENTIONED AND I KNOW THAT THE BUILDER HAVING SPOKEN TO THEM TODAY ARE THE LAND OWNER RATHER THEY'RE AWARE OF THE CONCERNS AROUND THE TREE IMPACTS THEIR LATEST PLAN DOES NOT INCLUDE IMPACTS TO TREES RIGHT ALONG 90TH STREET. I KNOW THAT WAS A POINT OF SENSITIVITY BUT YOU KNOW THE CITY HAS A TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO REMOVE TREES AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. YOU JUST HAVE TO REPLACE TREES IF YOU EXCEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF REMOVAL. SO FORGIVE ME FOR DIVING DEEP INTO THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE BUT I KNOW IT WAS A POINT OF CONCERN SO WE ARE AWARE OF IT AND WE CERTAINLY WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE PROJECT MEETS THE LETTER OF THE LAW COUNCIL MEMBER SO THAT THE THING THAT THANK YOU MS. RAYNOR I KNOW REAVIS HAS THE THE REQUEST SO I'LL I'LL BE QUIET NOW I APPRECIATE THAT I WILL ASK FOR TIME AT THE END WHEN WE GET TO POLICY UPDATES AND SO I HAVE SOME IDEAS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT WHAT THIS PARTICULAR EXPERIENCE HAS LED ME TO THINK ABOUT POTENTIALLY AS CONSIDERING AS A MEANS BY WHICH TO NOTIFY RESIDENTS A LITTLE EARLIER IN A PROCESS AND ALSO MAYBE SOME CLARITY ON ON SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE RAISED SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE NATURE OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. SO I'LL HOLD THOSE TILL WE GET TO THAT DISCUSSION. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER ELIZONDO. SO COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS, YOU HEARD MR. JOHNSON. I THINK I AGREE WITH HIM AND I AGREE WITH YOU AS WELL. IF WE WANT TO CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION OR ENGAGE THE RESIDENTS A BIT MORE, I THINK THAT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE AND TIME WELL SPENT. BUT I WILL SAY THAT I THINK BASED ON WHAT WE SEE IN FRONT OF US AND BASED ON WHAT THE DEVELOPER HAS PROPOSED, I DON'T SEE A LEGAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO SAY NO TO THIS. BUT AGAIN THAT BEING SAID WE WE MIGHT MAKE WE COULD TAKE MORE TIME TO ENGAGE WITH THE RESIDENTS AND HAVE STAFF MAYBE WORK A BIT WITH THE DEVELOPER TO TRY AND CLARIFY SOME OF THE THINGS THE PLANS THAT HE MIGHT HAVE AND I AGREE WITH YOU MAYOR AND THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE GIVEN MORE TIME IS BECAUSE THAT WAY THEY CAN HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING. OKAY, LET'S A STAKE I DO UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE MET ALL THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS TO DEVELOP THE LOT. HOWEVER AND IN THE NAME OF TRANSPARENCY I BELIEVE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN AS COUNCIL MEMBER. DAVIS AND YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVING EARLIER NOTICE AS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THAT'S MAINLY WHY I, I HELD THAT THIS ITEM BECAUSE I WANTED TO GIVE HIM A AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DETAILS THAT HAD TAKEN PLACE IN THEIR THEIR AREA, THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I'M FINE WITH THAT IF WE MOVE IT ALONG IT IS JUST I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MYSELF ON THAT THAT THEY NEEDED MORE NOTICE OR EARLIER NOTICE TO BE ABLE TO COMPREHENDING WHAT WAS AT STAKE IN THEIR YOU KNOW, IN THEIR BACKYARD SO TO SAY THAT I'M GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS SO I MIGHT SUGGEST THAT I MEAN IF YOU IF YOU WANTED TO MAKE THE MOTION TO LEAVE THIS OVER AND ON OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING FOR CONSIDERATION THEN AGAIN ON THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH STAFF DIRECTION TO HAVE THE STAFF CONTINUE TO WORK WITH AND HELP THE NEIGHBORS UNDERSTAND A BIT BETTER THE IMPACTS AND WHAT WHAT THIS ALL MEANS. I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT HOWEVER BECAUSE OF THE LIMITATION AS TO HOW I WOULD WARD THIS. SO WE'VE JUST CEDED TO ONE OF YOU GUYS TO HAVE A LOT MORE EXPERIENCE. >> IF YOU DON'T I'D BE HAPPY TO MAKE I'D BE HAPPY TO MAKE THEM PLEASE DO THAT. COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO, PLEASE. >> YES. A MOVE TO HOLD OVER. ITEM 3.2 FROM OUR CONSENT AGENDA PENDING ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION WITH RESIDENTS TO ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION TO THEM AND HAVE THE ITEM BROUGHT BACK AT OUR NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED COUNCIL MEETING SO YES. YES WE OKAY OFFICIALLY WE DO HAVE A CONCURRENT MEETING TOMORROW SO WHY DON'T WE SPECIFY THE REGULAR MEETING ON THE 29TH OF THIS MONTH? SOUNDS GREAT. THANK YOU. SO WE HAD A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO, A SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS ,SECOND VOTE COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS TO LEAD ITEM 3.2 OVER TO OUR NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING ON THE 29TH OF THIS MONTH AND PROVIDE STAFF AND THE RESIDENTS MORE TIME TO TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE IMPACTS OF THIS PROJECT ANY FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS HEARING NONE COME DOWN.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH JULIE FOR JOINING US ON LINE WE MOVED ITEM 4.2. THIS IS OUR SECOND PUBLIC HEARING OF THE EVENING. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING OUR CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT ALSO KNOWN AS OUR KEEPER FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2024 AND THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT MR. PALERMO GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME. THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS YEAH. THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT SO MUCH MORE IS EASIER TO SAY FOR TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND THIS IS PART OF OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT OR CDBG. THAT'S AN ALPHABET SOUP HERE TONIGHT BUT AS YOU ARE AWARE WE GET FEDERAL FUNDING FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND A FEW MONTHS AGO WE DID OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND THEN AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM YEAR WE THEN REPORT OUT WHAT WE DID. SO THAT WAS LOOKING FORWARD. NOW THIS IS LOOKING BACKWARD AT WHAT WE DID IN PROGRAM YEAR 2024 SO THAT RUNS FROM JULY 1ST THROUGH 2024 TO JUNE 30TH 2025 AS REQUIRED AS PART OF OUR FUNDING. SO IN THAT YEAR WE HAD TOTAL FUNDS OF ABOUT 1.5 MILLION AND WE EXPENDED ABOUT 1.2 MILLION AND THEN SO THAT MEANS WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A CARRYOVER BALANCE THAT WE'LL REPROGRAM AS WE ENTER 2025. AND SO A LARGE PART OF THAT IS PROGRAM INCOME WE GET. SO WHILE OUR ANNUAL ALLOCATION IS IN THE REALM OF 450,000 A LITTLE MORE WE ALSO GET PROGRAM INCOME THAT REVOLVES AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE CARRYOVER BALANCES. SO THAT'S WHY IT'S SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT. BUT WHAT WE SPENT IN 2024 PREDOMINANTLY WAS ON THAT REHAB LOAN PROGRAM ABOUT 750,000 AND THAT'S TYPICALLY WHAT WE DO WHEN WE GET THE PAYOFF ACROSS THAT PROGRAM INCOME WE THEN END UP REPROGRAMING THAT INTO THE REHAB LOANS BUT WE ALSO USE SOME MONEY FOR ADMINISTRATION PAY STAFF TIME AND ACCOUNTING ETC. WE USE ABOUT 150,000 TO ACQUIRE TWO PROPERTIES WITH HOMES WITHIN REACH FOR THEIR LAND TRUST AND WE WORK WITH SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES AND THEN WE DO SOME FAIR HOUSING ACTIVITIES AS WELL. SO AGAIN TO A LITTLE MORE OF THE DETAILS SO SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES THEY SERVED ABOUT NEARLY 150 SENIOR RESIDENTS DOING CHORES MAINTENANCE, LIGHT MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SENIORS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOME A LITTLE BIT LONGER BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT EXTRA LITTLE BIT OF ASSISTANCE. AS I MENTIONED, HOMES WITHIN REACH ACQUIRED TWO HOMES. THEY REHABBED THEM AND THEN THEY SELL THEM TO QUALIFIED BUYERS AND THEN IT'S A LAND TRUST. THEY MAINTAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND WHILE THE HOMES ACTUALLY SOLD AND THEN WE APPROVED IN 2020 FOR 12 NEW LOANS. SO IT SEEMS LOWER THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS BUT WE HAD SUCH A BANNER YEAR IN 2023 THAT WE HAD TO WORK THROUGH THE LOAN PROCESS AND KIND OF CLOSE THOSE OUT. SO THAT KIND OF WENT INTO 2024 SO WE ONLY WERE ABLE TO ISSUE ABOUT 12 NEW LOANS AND SIMILARLY WE'LL HAVE A BUNCH OF PROGRAM INCOME. THEY CAME IN AT THE END OF THE YEAR THAT WE'LL BE USING AND RUNNING INTO 2024. SO IT'S KIND OF A TIMELINE ISSUE HERE AS WE WORK THROUGH FUNDING THOSE BUT PREDOMINANTLY WE WORK WITH EXTREMELY LOW INCOME, LOW INCOME AND MODERATE. THE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS ARE 70% OR MORE HAVE TO BE LOW OR MODERATE INCOME SO BELOW THAT 80% AND FOR THE MOST PART THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR MONEY THAT NON LOW INCOME THAT TENDS TO BE THE SENIORS ARE KIND OF A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THAT PROGRAM. BUT OVERALL THE REPORT KIND OF OUTLINES WHERE THE MONEY WAS USED THIS YEAR WE HAVE OUR COMMENT PERIOD RUNNING NOW THROUGH SEPTEMBER 26TH SO THIS WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT THAT YOU OPEN UP. THERE IS NO VOTING THAT YOU NEED TO DO. YOU JUST NEED TO HOST A PUBLIC HEARING AND PROVIDE COMMENT AND YOU'RE ALSO PROVIDE COMMENT GET INCORPORATED INTO THE THE CAPER. SO AS WE HOLD THIS COME OUT COMMENT PERIOD, HENNEPIN COUNTY IS SIMULTANEOUSLY HOLDING THEIR COMMENT PERIOD FOR PART OF THE HENNEPIN COUNTY CONSORTIUM SO THEY ACTUALLY WILL END UP SUBMITTING THEIR THE CAPER ON OUR BEHALF AND SEPTEMBER 30TH THERE ABOUTS AND THEY HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING TOMORROW NIGHT AND THEIR COMMENT PERIOD RUNS AT THE SAME PERIOD SEPTEMBER 10TH TO THE 26TH. SO WITH THAT I CAN OFFER UP ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MR. PALERMO I HAVE ONE QUESTION BASED ON THE PRESENTATION IS HOMES WITH OUTREACH IS THAT A NEW ORGANIZATION WE'RE WORKING WITH? I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE HEARD THAT NAME BEFORE THEY REBRANDED IT USED TO BE WALTER WEST HENNEPIN AFFORDABLE HOUSING LAND TRUST. SO THEY ARE NOW OPERATING AS HOMES WITHIN REACH. SO SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT HEAR WALT, SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT HEAR HOMES WITHIN REACH AND SOME OF THEIR DOCUMENTS HAVE BOTH ITEMS ON THERE. BUT I WAS PROUD OF MYSELF FOR ACTUALLY SEEING HOMES WITHIN REACH TONIGHT BECAUSE I OFTEN WILL SAY WELL, WELL DONE SO SAME ORGANIZATION. JUST A BIT OF A REBRANDING. YEAH. THANK YOU COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. PALERMO COUNCILMEMBER NELSON THANK YOU. I'M JUST A QUICK QUESTION DID WE PREVIOUSLY OR DO WE CURRENTLY STILL PROVIDE FUNDING TO HOME ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THROUGH VEEP THROUGH THIS PROGRAM? MR. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER NELSON WE DON'T WE HAVE PROVIDED IN THE PAST THROUGH CDBG COVID FUNDING EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY WE WON'T IN THE FUTURE AND WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THAT AND WHETHER WE WANT TO USE THIS FUNDING OR OTHER FUNDING TO PARTNER WITH PEOPLE WE'VE HAD ONGOING PARTNERSHIP PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM IN DIFFERENT WAYS SO I'LL JUST SAY THIS PAST PROGRAM YEAR WE DIDN'T PARTNER WITH VEEP BUT IN THE FUTURE IT IS LIKELY THAT WE WILL IN SOME WAY EITHER WITH THIS FUNDING OR OTHERS WITH IT DOES APPROVING THIS LOCK IN THE FUNDING SO THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE ANY OF IT FOR VEEP FOR THE NEXT YEAR? MR. MAYOR? COUNCILMEMBER NELSON NO, THIS IS JUST REPORTING OUT FROM LAST YEAR SO WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF LAID THE STEPS FOR FUTURE IN MAY WE HAD A PUBLIC HEARING AND FOR OUR CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND ACTION PLAN AND WE HAD A BROAD CATEGORY FOR PUBLIC SERVICE DOLLARS WHICH WE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE ABLE TO ACCESS . THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER GIVE US A I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU. I KNOW THAT THEY THEY LAUNCHED OUR HOMEOWNERS IMPROVEMENT LOANS DECREASE FOR THE YEAR 2024 MAJOR DECREASE RIGHT I YOU I IT'S IT'S TOUGH DOING ANYTHING TO IMPROVE OR FACILITATE THE ABILITY OF FOR PEOPLE TO TO BE APPROVED FOR THESE LOANS IN A QUICKER MANNER YEAH MR. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER REAVIS YEAH PART OF IT WAS JUST WE DID ABOUT 45 LOANS THE PREVIOUS YEAR OR 4045 LOANS WHICH WAS AN INCREASE OF ABOUT 20 LOANS THAN WE TYPICALLY DO TYPICALLY WERE AROUND 2530 LOANS A YEAR. SO IT WAS A LITTLE BIT LOWER BECAUSE WE WERE PROCESSING THAT AND THEN ACTUALLY WE HAD A BUNCH OF PROGRAM INCOME COME AT THE VERY END SO IT WAS HARD TO GET LOANS UP AND RUNNING WITH THE NEW MONEY THAT WE RECEIVED. SO IT'S KIND OF A CASH FLOW THING BUT THE MEASURES THAT WE ARE TAKING IN MOVING FORWARD TO FURTHER PROMOTE AND MOVE MORE QUICKLY WE HAVE AN ONLINE PORTAL NOW WE'RE USING THE NEIGHBORLY SOFTWARE WHICH WILL BE MUCH MORE QUICKER WORKING WITH OUR APPLICANTS TO GET MATERIALS QUICKER BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS IS WE MIGHT NOT GET ALL THE INFORMATION AND WE THEN HAVE TO REQUEST THAT WE GET SUBMITTED AND HAVING THAT ONLINE PORTAL SPEEDS THINGS UP CONSIDERABLY SO THAT THAT'S ONE MEASURE THAT WILL HELP KIND OF GET THROUGH THE PROCESS A LOT QUICKER. JUST ONE QUICK FOLLOW UP QUESTION. I'M ACCORDING TO THE CDBG ASSISTED HOUSEHOLDS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO IMPROVE THE OUTREACH TO UNDER REPRESENTED POPULATION IN THE CITY? YEAH, MR. MAYOR. COUNCILMEMBER REEVES SO THAT IS SOMETHING WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN MEETING WITH THE COED DEPARTMENT ABOUT BECAUSE CURRENTLY THE LOANS WERE ON PAUSE FOR A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME BECAUSE WE HAD SUCH A BACKLOG THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH IN FACT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH OUR WAITLIST RIGHT NOW. WE HAD ABOUT 40 APPLICANTS ON THERE BUT AS WE GET THROUGH WITH THAT WAITLIST WE'LL BE WORKING WITH COVID ON A BROADER MARKETING CAMPAIGN BEING IN THE BRIEFING BUT ALSO HOW DO WE REACH THOSE UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS KNOWING THAT THAT IS WHERE WE WANT TO THOSE DOLLARS TO GO? SO MOVING FORWARD WHEN WE GET THROUGH THAT WAITLIST COED WILL BE OUR BEST RESOURCE ON HOW TO ACTUALLY TAILOR THAT. AS FOR SPECIFICS, WE DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW. WE'RE KIND OF CURRENTLY FOCUSED ON WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US BUT THIS WINTER AS WE START INTO THE SPRING WE'LL BE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANKS, MR. MAYOR . TWO QUESTIONS. THE FIRST ONE ARE THE YOU MENTIONED THE THREE PROGRAMS HERE. ARE THESE THE ONLY PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN THE CAPER LIKE LEVERAGE THE CAPER FUNDS TODAY OR ARE THESE JUST THE ONES WHERE WE ACTUALLY MADE PROGRESS ON THEM? ARE THERE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE DID NOT THAT WE DID NOT EXECUTE ON IN THIS TIME PERIOD? >> YEAH. MR MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO SO THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WE FUNDED IN 2020 FOR THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN OUTLINES A WHOLE BUNCH OF ACTIVITIES THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO. THEY'RE ALL PRIORITIES BUT THESE WERE THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES. WE JUST DON'T RECEIVE ENOUGH FUNDING TO GO BEYOND JUST, YOU KNOW, THESE TOP THREE PRIORITIES. SO YOU'LL NOTICE IN THE PAPER THERE ARE QUITE A FEW ACTIVITIES THAT SAY ZERO PROGRESS BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING TO FUND EVERYTHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BUT YES, SO THESE WERE THE THREE PROGRAMS THAT WE FUNDED IN 2020 FOR. OKAY. AND IN THAT I ASSUME THAT DECISION IS A DECISION THAT'S THAT'S MADE ALONG WITH THE HRA BOARD IN TERMS OF HOW THAT IS PRIORITIZED. YEAH. MR. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THAT THEY ARE A KIND OF GUIDES US BUT THIS IS PART OF THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN THAT WE APPROVE IN THE SPRING. SO THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR COUNCIL THIS DO THAT BUT THERE IS BROADER DISCUSSIONS THAT WE CAN BE HAVING LEADING UP TO THAT ANNUAL ACTION PLAN THAT WILL BE HAVING KIND OF WINTER TIME AGAIN. SO KNOWING THAT SPRING IS WHEN WE ADOPT THE NEW ONE. SO LOOK FORWARD TO THAT AS WE SOLICIT SOME INPUT ON HOW TO REPRIORITIZE FOR 2012. >> SURE, SURE. GREAT. SO MY SECOND QUESTION THAT IS AROUND SO I'M A BIG FAN OF THE THE THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ESPECIALLY FOR HOME IMPROVEMENTS AND YOU KNOW I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND I KNOW YOU'RE ALL WORKING REALLY HARD AND YOU'RE STAYING ON PACE FOR 20 OR 25 OF THOSE EVERY YEAR. THAT'S GREAT. I'M SURE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO FUND IT. WE COULD FUND MORE. WE WOULD DO MORE. I KNOW I GENERALLY BELIEVE THAT WHAT WHEN I GO OUT AND I HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH WITH RESIDENTS FOR EXAMPLE AT NATIONAL NIGHT OUT I HAD A RESIDENT COMPLAIN TO ME THAT THAT YOU KNOW, THERE WERE ACTIONS BEING REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ACTIONS BEING REQUIRED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT THAT SHE COULDN'T AFFORD TO DO AND YOU KNOW IT IMMEDIATELY MADE ME THINK OF WHAT WE HAVE THIS REFURBISHMENT PROGRAM THAT WE NEED WE CAN HELP YOU WITH. AND SO I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH THAT RESIDENT. APPRECIATE THAT EVERYBODY HAS DONE THAT. GREAT. MY MY QUESTION TO YOU IS IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU ALL TO TAP INTO THAT RESOURCE AS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY INSTEAD OF PROVIDING FOLKS WITH A PENALTY MEANING I'M GOING TO FINE YOU AND CONTINUE TO FINE YOU IF YOU DON'T COMPLY? IS THERE A WAY FOR US TO OFFER THAT AS AN ASSISTANCE OPTION AND WHAT WOULD THAT CRITERIA BE? WOULD IT BE DIFFERENT CRITERIA OR COULD WE LEVERAGE THE SAME YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD YOU NEED DIFFERENT CRITERIA FOR THE SAME CRITERIA WE HAVE TODAY TO ASSUME THEY QUALIFY? >> YEAH. MR. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER MEMBER DALLESSANDRO SO EACH WILL INCLUDE IN THEIR NOTICES FLIER FOR OUR LOAN REHAB LOAN PROGRAM SO THEY ARE A SOURCE OF HOW WE ADVERTISE. SO TYPICALLY WHEN THEY ARE GETTING THE THAT YOU KNOW LETTER TO CORRECT SOMETHING THEY ARE PROVIDING THAT AS A RESOURCE TO REACH OUT TO THE HRA. WE OFFER KIND OF THREE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS WE HAVE THE HOME IMPROVEMENT LOAN PROGRAM THAT'S FUNDED THROUGH CDBG. WE'RE ALSO FUNDED THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ACCOUNT WHICH WE TYPICALLY TRY TO FOCUS ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT BUT THERE ARE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW FOR FOR HUD. SO EVERY NOW AND THEN WE WILL USE THE NEIGHBORHOOD FUND TO KIND OF SUPPLEMENT THAT. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE WHAT'S CALLED OUR HELP LOAN OR HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL I'M BLANKING ON IT NOW BUT THE HELP LOAN IS MEANT FOR MORE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND ACTUALLY AS A REFERRAL FOR US WE DON'T BROADLY ADVERTISE THAT WE'VE KIND OF RETOOL THAT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT DOES GET OVERPRESCRIBED REALLY QUICKLY. SO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH HAS TO PROVIDE US A REFERRAL AND WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM TO DETERMINE IS THIS THE BEST USE OF THOSE FUNDS AND THAT PROGRAM IS NOT FUNDED THROUGH THE FUNDS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT BUT THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ACCOUNT. SO A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT THAT THEY ARE A TAPS INTO BUT THAT IS MEANT FOR A KIND OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS WHERE THE HOME WILL NO LONGER BE HABITABLE. SO THERE IS A MIDDLE GROUND IN THERE THAT WE'VE ALSO WORKED WITH A BRUSH WITH KINDNESS FROM TWIN CITIES HABITAT TO KIND OF FILL THE GAP AS WELL. SO WHILE WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE RESOURCES HERE AT THE CITY, WE ALSO REFER OUT TO A BRUSH WITH KINDNESS AND OTHER PROGRAMS THAT ARE OUT THERE AS WELL. YOU COUNSEL ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE. THANK YOU MR. PALERMO. I AM GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING RIGHT NOW AND ITEM 4.2 THE CAPER REPORT FOR PROGRAM YOUR 2024 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ANYONE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER IS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THEM 4.2 THIS EVENING. PRIYANKA IS THERE ANYONE ONLINE OR ON THE PHONE? MAYOR WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE ON LINE. LAST CALL FOR ANYBODY IN THE CHAMBERS COUNCIL SEEING NO ONE COMING FORWARD I WOULD LOOK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN 4.2 SOME THE MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 4.2 NO FURTHER COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS PRIYANKA D'ALESSANDRO I CARTER I MUA I NELSON RIVAS MAYOR BUSSE HI MOTION CARRIES SIX YEAR OLD CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING IN ITEM 4.2 SO AS YOU SAID MR. PALERMO THERE IS NO FORMAL ACTION BY THE COUNCIL HERE OTHER THAN TO HOST THE PUBLIC HEARING HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING AND SO WE ARE DONE AND OFF YOU GO. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OUR FINAL PUBLIC HEARING OF THE EVENING IS ITEM 4.3 REGARDING OUR AIRPORT PARKING STUDY ORDINANCE AND THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING THAT ACTUALLY NEVER OFFICIALLY CLOSED FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. WE KEPT IT OPEN AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AT LEAST SOME PRESENTATION AND THEN WE'LL GET RIGHT BACK INTO THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MR. CENTENARIO COMING FORWARD AND I KNOW WE HAVE OTHERS HERE WITH US TONIGHT TO ANSWER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS IF NEED BE. MR. CENTENARIO THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE YOU ABLE TO PROMOTE ME TO SO I CAN SHARE MY SLIDES ? GREAT . OKAY. THANK YOU MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS A LOT OF THE INFORMATION WELL YOU'VE HEARD A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT AIRPORT PARKING AND I'VE HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AT YOUR LAST MEETING SO I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF TO GET TO THE REMAINDER OF THE PUBLIC HEARING. BUT AS A REMINDER, WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS STUDY PROCESS. THERE WAS A MORATORIUM ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THAT'S COMING TO THE END OF THAT TIMELINE WE'VE HAD PLANNING COMMISSION HEARINGS OR PUBLIC HEARINGS PLANNING COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION WE'VE HAD CONTINUE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING HERE AND THEN THE MORATORIUM EXPIRES ON OCTOBER 10TH. SO WE HAVE TONIGHT OF COURSE THAT WERE BEFORE YOU WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY ON SEPTEMBER 29TH IF NO ACTION IS TAKEN TONIGHT BUT WE'RE TOWARDS THE END OF THE MORATORIUM PERIOD. SO WE'LL WE WILL BE LOOKING TO THE COUNCIL TO TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS OR DIRECT STAFF TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATION TO THE ORDINANCE TONIGHT. SO AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED IN THE PAST, WE KIND OF SPLIT THE ORDINANCE INTO THREE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. THERE'S REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING OF ESTING FACILITIES. THERE'S A REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING PROPOSED FACILITIES AND THEN THERE'S HOTEL AIRPORT PARKING. SO WE'VE KIND OF SPLIT THESE INTO THREE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES THE REMOTE OR AIRPORT PARKING WE FEEL AND I THINK THE COUNCIL WOULD AGREE IS THE MOST COMPLEX AND CHALLENGING DISCUSSION. BUT ULTIMATELY WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO ESTABLISH REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FOR THE EXISTING FACILITIES PARKING GO AND PARKING FLY AS CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED IN THE SIX TWO AND HISTORIC DISTRICT. THE THERE ARE SOME PERFORMANCE STANDARDS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND ONE OF THEM BEING TO LEAVE THREE ACRES FOR FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY SURFACE PARKING WOULD BE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. IT WOULD ALSO THE AUDIENCE WOULD ALSO ALLOW PARKING STRUCTURES IF ENTITIES WOULD WANT TO EXPAND THEIR PARKING OPERATIONS AND THEN A DEFERRED COMPLIANCE DATE WITH PARKING LOT DESIGN REQUIREMENTS AGAIN SOMETHING THAT WE TOUCHED ON LAST TIME IS THAT THESE FACILITIES THERE ARE ALWAYS APPROVED UNDER TEMPORARY APPROVALS AND SO THEY NEVER CONSTRUCTED THE PERMANENT PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE REQUIRE EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY. AND THEN ALSO WE HAVE SOME STANDARDS FOR NEW FACILITIES THAT THEY'RE ONLY IN EXISTING PARKING STRUCTURES WITH ACCESS SPACES. SO AGAIN JUST IN A IN A COUPLE OF BULLETS FOR REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FOR THERE'S TWO SCENARIOS EXISTING OPERATORS PARKING AND PARKING FLY AND THEN FOR NEW OPERATORS THE TWO THAT HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST AND THIS IS A NARROWER NARROWLY TAILORED ORDINANCE BUT THE MALL OF AMERICA WOULD LIKE TO ESTABLISH REMOTE PARKING IN AT THE EAST RAMP AND THEN IN PART IS INTERESTED IN ESTABLISHING SOME LEVEL OF REMOTE OR AIRPORT PARKING IN THE RIVERVIEW PARKING RAMP JUST ACROSS THE STREET FROM A PARKING FOYER TO SEARCH ON THE DEFERRED COMPLIANCE AND THE ORDINANCE AS IT'S WRITTEN WOULD REQUIRE THAT THESE FACILITIES BE BROUGHT UP TO CURRENT STANDARDS AS THEY RELATE TO PARKING, LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING LIGHTING ISN'T SO MUCH A CONCERN BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY WELL LIT AND PROVIDED THAT ALL THE FIXTURES MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS. IN THE CASE OF PARKING GO THEY RECENTLY DID SOME RETROFITTING OF THEIR LIGHTING SO THE LIGHTING REALLY ISN'T THAT MUCH OF AN ISSUE THERE. THERE ARE ALREADY AT COMPLIANCE OR VERY NEAR IT. THE PARKING THE LANDSCAPING ARE THE TWO BIG ITEMS BECAUSE WE REQUIRE LANDSCAPE PARKING ISLANDS TO BE PLACED WITHIN PARKING LOTS WHETHER THAT CIVIC PLAZA OR A HOTEL OR ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS A PARKING LOT. WE DO HAVE SOME REQUIREMENTS THAT BREAK UP THE PARKING LOT WITH A CURVED LANDSCAPED PARKING ON THAT INCLUDES A TREE. AND SO THAT IS THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THESE TWO FACILITIES. THAT SAID, WE ARE THE ORDINANCE THOSE PROPOSE A DEFERRED COMPLIANCE DATE PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDED END OF YEAR 2029 THE ORDINANCE THAT'S BEFORE YOU RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS THE END OF YEAR 2034. SO WE HAVE THESE TWO DIFFERENT COMPLIANCE DATES AGAIN WE HAVE IT WOULD REQUIRE RETROFITTING PARKING ISLANDS THAT WE REQUIRE EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY EXTERIOR LIGHTING WHICH MAY REQUIRE VERY LITTLE CHANGES AND THEN SOME LEVEL OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND AGAIN IT'S A POINT IT'S IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE THAT THAT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT WOULD NOT BE BASED ON THE ENTIRE SITE OR THE ENTIRE 12 PLUS ACRES. IT WOULD BE BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF LAND THAT'S DISTURBED. SO BE A SMALL FRACTION OF THAT OF THAT SITE. THE ORDINANCE REFERS TO A DEVELOPMENT SET ASIDE OF THREE ACRES. IT WOULD REQUIRE THAT THAT SITE BE SCREENED FROM THE REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FACILITY AND AGAIN WE HAVE THESE TWO COMPLIANCE DATES. YOU KNOW THE WE STAFF REALLY VIEW THIS AS A DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY THAT THE ORDINANCE FACILITATES INTENSE REDEVELOPMENT OF THESE SITES TO IMPLEMENT THE VISION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE SOUTH THE DISTRICT PLAN AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE GOAL IS HERE. YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS APPROVED AND THE PARKING FLY SITE IT WAS CLOSE TO CONSTRUCTION BUT THIS IS A REALLY GOOD VISUALIZATION OF WHAT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN THIS FUTURE REDEVELOPMENT SITE. SIMILARLY WITH THE PARKING GO SITE THIS WOULD ALSO BE SUBJECT TO THAT THREE ACRE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PARCEL SCREENED AGAIN AND THEN WE HAVE THESE TWO DIFFERING COMPLIANCE DEADLINES TO HAVE THAT SITE AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT BUT THEN ALSO RETROFIT THE SITE WITH SOME PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE SEE. WE'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY THE PARKING GO FOLKS. THE OTHER CATEGORY WAS NEW FACILITIES AND EXISTING PARKING STRUCTURES. THERE'S JUST TWO IMAGES OF THOSE PARKING STRUCTURES. YOU KNOW, WE'RE GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE OF HAVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ESTABLISH ONE OF THESE FACILITIES. WE DO THINK A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS NECESSARY. WE DID GET SOME FEEDBACK OR SOME CORRESPONDENCE ASKING TO MAKE THIS PERMITTED ACCESSORY AND WE DON'T FEEL THAT THAT'S THE BEST APPROACH. WE WANT A GOOD RECORD OF WHAT IS AND IS NOT APPROVED. WE WANT NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS THE CHANCE TO TESTIFY OR TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON A PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS CREATE A RECORDABLE DOCUMENT AGAINST THE PROPERTY SO THERE'S A GOOD IT MEMORIALIZES THE APPROVAL AND WE WANT ENFORCEABILITY BETTER ENFORCEABILITY IN CASE SOMETHING GOES AWRY AND THAT FACILITY IS NOT OPERATING THE WAY THAT'S SUPPOSED TO. AND LASTLY FOR HOTEL AIRPORT PARKING WE PROPOSE TO MAKE THIS A PERMITTED ACCESSORY USE. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A ESTABLISHING A USE THAT HAS BEEN EXISTENCE FOR MANY DECADES. IT WOULD BE A PERMITTED ACCESSORY WOULD REQUIRE AN OVERNIGHT STAY AND WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT IT IS RETAINED IN DESIGNATED AREAS AND ACTUALLY DOESN'T LEAD TO A PROLIFERATION OF AIRPORT PARKING. SO WE WOULD ESTABLISH A MAXIMUM HOTEL PARKING REQUIREMENT AND THAT WAS A VERY BRIEF RUNDOWN OF THE ORDINANCE. I'M SURE THERE'S QUESTIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS. THANK YOU. MR. CENTENARIO APPRECIATE IT. COUNCIL QUESTIONS ON THIS GOOD CHUNK OF IT I THINK WE'VE SEEN BEFORE. ANY QUESTIONS ? I SEE NO HANDS GOING UP. THANK YOU MR. CENTENARIO DON'T GO FAR. I'M GOING WITH THE CELL JUST TO MAKE SURE I DON'T DO THAT AND AS I MENTIONED COUNSEL, WE NEVER OFFICIALLY CLOSED THIS PUBLIC HEARING THAT IS OPEN AND SO I WANT TO REOPEN THE CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING THAT FROM OUR PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETING. SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THAT. ANY MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OR ANY MEMBERS HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO US THIS EVENING, PLEASE COME FORWARD . GOOD EVENING. OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL MY NAME IS MEGAN ROGERS. I'M AN ATTORNEY WITH LARKIN HOFMANN. I'M HERE THIS EVENING ON BEHALF OF MALL OF AMERICA. I JUST WANTED TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT AS YOU CONSIDER THIS ORDINANCE TO THANK STAFF FOR THEIR LAST YEAR OF COLLABORATION. I'M TALKING ABOUT HOW REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING WITHIN EXISTING STRUCTURE AND PARK PARKING GARAGES COULD REALLY BE FACILITATED HERE. WE THINK THIS IS AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO BRING ANOTHER AMENITY TO THE MALL AS WELL AS TO HAVE A CONSTRUCTIVE REUSE OF EXCESS PARKING THAT'S ALREADY BUILT AND AVAILABLE VERY CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT AND ACCESSIBLE TO PUBLIC TRANSIT. SO WE THANK YOU FOR THAT OUT WE DID SUBMIT A LETTER AND THE LAST TWO WEEKS TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN OUR PROPOSED USE AND THE HOTELS PROPOSED USE AND WE SAW SOME CONSISTENCIES BETWEEN WHAT THE HOTELS WILL DO IN TERMS OF THEIR PARKING MAXIMUMS AND THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS THAT ARE APPLIED THERE THAT WILL APPLY TO NEW PARKING AT REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING WITHIN EXISTING PARKING STRUCTURES. BUT WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO GO THROUGH THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROCESS AND KNOW THAT WE CAN BRING FORWARD AN APPLICATION THAT WILL BE SUPPORTED BY OUR BUSINESSES AND THAT WE CAN SHOW TO THE CITY THAT THERE ARE EXCESS PARKING STALLS THAT CAN BE EFFECTIVELY UTILIZED. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PROPOSED USE AND AND WHAT WE SUPPORT HERE THIS EVENING, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL ANY QUESTIONS? MS. ROGERS VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THERE'S LEAVING MR. GRIFFITH MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK STAFF FOR ALL THE WORK THEY PUT INTO THIS COUNCIL FOR LISTENING TO US AND ONE ON ONE MEETINGS. MY NAME IS BILL GRIFFITH REPRESENTING ROSA DEVELOPMENT THE MUIR FAMILY ALMOST ALL OF THEM YOUR FAMILIES WITH WITH US TONIGHT I KNOW ROBIN MUIR THE MATRIARCH IS WATCHING ONLINE AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO PUT THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT THIS FAMILY HAS DONE IN YOUR COMMUNITY. THEY DIDN'T JUST DEVELOP A PARKING FACILITY. THEY DEVELOPED THE ENTIRE QUADRANT ROBERT MIRRA, THEIR FATHER BACK IN THE 80S AND 90S BROUGHT FORTH A PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP THE ENTIRE QUADRANT WITH HOTELS AND AIRPORT RELATED USES. REMEMBER THAT THIS DISTRICT SOUTH LOOP AS YOU CALL IT NOW REBRANDED WAS THE AIRPORT SOUTH DISTRICT AT THAT TIME AND THIS USE AND THOSE USES ALL PREDATE IT LIGHT RAIL PREDATED YOUR SOUTH LOOP DISTRICT PLAN PREDATED YOUR HOUSING ORDINANCE AND PREDATED OUR ZONING THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IN OUR MINDS YOU'VE ESTABLISHED A PERMANENT USE WITHIN A QUADRANT THAT WAS ALL RELATED TO SERVING THE AIRPORT. SO VERY VERY IMPORTANT THAT FOLKS UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MUIR FAMILY AND ROSA DEVELOPMENT DID FOR THIS COMMUNITY BACK IN THE 80S AND 90S BRINGING FORTH TAX BASE JOBS SERVICE USES ALL IN SUPPORT OF THE AIRPORT YOU'RE AN AIRPORT HUB COMMUNITY AND YOU'VE YOU'VE BENEFITED FROM THAT FOR MANY MANY YEARS SO THAT'S THE CONTEXT THE OTHER CONTEXT IS THAT A YEAR AGO WHEN YOU TURN DOWN PARKING GOES INTERIM USE PERMIT APPLICATION YOU KNEW YOU HAD A PROBLEM, RIGHT? YOU KNEW YOU NEEDED TO SOLVE A PROBLEM AND SO YOU STUDIED FOR A YEAR AND THAT'S WHY I THANK YOU FOR FOR ALL YOUR DILIGENT EFFORTS. BUT WE'RE NOT THERE YET AND IT'S VERY CLEAR IN OUR CORRESPONDENCE AND OUR COMMUNICATIONS TO YOU THAT WE NEED A RESOLUTION THAT IS FULL AND FINAL THAT DOESN'T KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD, DOESN'T CREATE ANOTHER SET OF COMPLIANCE DATES AND DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS ON AN EXISTING BUSINESS AND THAT'S WHY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO NOT QUITE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, 1011 DAYS AGO I PRESENTED A PROPOSAL AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND YOU RECEIVED THAT FROM ME DIRECTLY ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS THE TOP OF YOUR INBOX NOT 400 PAGES IN AND SO YOU HAVE THAT AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT DOES IS IT IT CREATES A PERMITTED USE AS YOU DID SO MANY YEARS AGO WITH THE AUTO DEALERS AND IT CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DEVELOPMENT HIGHER AND DENSER DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR BUT BASED ON MARKET CONDITIONS AND WE BELIEVE IT WILL OCCUR SOMETHING ALWAYS COMES ALONG THAT'S BETTER AND BIGGER THAT THAT'S WHAT THIS DISTRICT IS ALL ABOUT, RIGHT? THE BETTER BIGGER DISTRICT, THE THIRD DOWNTOWN IF YOU WILL. BUT YOU HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS USE PREEXISTED AND PREDATED ALL OF THAT AND SO IT'S SERVING THE AIRPORT YOUR AIRPORT SELF DISTRICT AS IT ONCE WAS CALLED. AND SO WE HAD HOPE THAT WE STANDING HERE TONIGHT WE BE CLOSER TO A FULL AND FINAL RESOLUTION. AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU ON BEHALF OF THE MUIR FAMILY THAT THIS WON'T DO IT. AND SO WE'LL BE BACK HERE TWO YEARS FROM NOW WHEN WHEN THEIR INTERIM USE PERMIT EXPIRES AND WE WILL HAVE THE SAME CONVERSATION AND WE WANT TO AVOID THAT IN GOOD FAITH. I PRESENTED THIS PROPOSAL. I DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE ADOPTED LINE BY LINE. I MEAN THAT WOULD IN FACT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. BUT I EXPECT THAT WE WILL GET CLOSER TOGETHER ON A FULL ON FINAL RESOLUTION AND WE WON'T BE TEARING UP A PARKING LOT. IT'S AN EXISTING BUSINESS. WE'RE NOT GOING TO TEAR UP A PARKING LOT AND PUT IN NEW FACILITIES. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. SO WE CAN PUT THAT IN THE ORDINANCE AND WE CAN SAY THAT'S GOOD FOR THE PARKING LOT AND GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY. BUT I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR AT THIS JUNCTURE ABOUT WHAT CAN HAPPEN AND WHAT CAN'T HAPPEN AND WE CAN'T KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS OR EVEN ANOTHER NINE YEARS OR ANOTHER TEN YEARS. SO THE BALL'S IN YOUR COURT. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIME THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY IN LISTENING TO US. THANK YOU, MR. GRIFFITH . OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. BRIANNA, DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE WISHING TO SPEAK MAYOR WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE ONLINE. LAST CALL FOR ANYONE ELSE . VERY GOOD COUNSEL NO ONE COMING FORWARD, NO ONE ONLINE OR ON THE PHONE WISHING TO SPEAK. I WOULD LOOK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON ITEM 4.3 SO MOST OF MY COUNCILMEMBER WAS SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN 4.3 OUR AIRPORT PARKING STUDY ORDINANCE NO FOR THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS BRIANNA D'ALESSANDRO I GARTER MUA MIKE NELSON RIVAS MAYOR BUSSE ALL RIGHT MOTION CARRIES SIX ZERO SO COUNCIL WE'VE WE'VE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR THE PAST YEAR WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS AND I THINK WE'RE TO AN INFLECTION POINT OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO OR WHAT WE HOW WE SET THE FUTURE FOR HOW WE WANT TO HANDLE AIRPORT PARKING IN THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON. I'M VERY WILLING TO OPEN IT UP FOR A CONVERSATION HERE AND DISCUSSION. COUNCILMEMBER D'ALESSANDRO GOING TO START IT, PLEASE. >> THANKS, MR. MAYOR. I'M HOPING THAT I CAN JUST ASK A SERIES OF QUESTIONS THAT JUST GROUND ME AND WHAT I THINK THE FACTS ARE IS IF THAT'S HELPFUL AT ALL IT WILL CERTAINLY BE HELPFUL TO ME. HOPEFULLY IT'LL BE HELPFUL TO OTHER PEOPLE TOO BUT IF I IF I CREATE THE TIMELINE THAT I THINK I THAT THAT I'VE HEARD FROM CITY STAFF IN TERMS OF THE DOCUMENTATION THAT WE HAVE TODAY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO BACK INTO THE 80S THERE WAS A TEMPORARY PERMIT CONCEPT RIGHT? BUT WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE AUTHORITY AT THE TIME OR MAYBE IT WAS AMBIGUOUS TO DO THAT WAY BACK THEN AND THEN SOMETIME AROUND 2009 I THINK THE STATE GAVE US THE ABILITY TO DO THINGS LIKE TEMPORARY PERMITTING DO I HAVE THIS RIGHT SO FAR? MR. CENTENARIO I DON'T BELIEVE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S THE CASE. COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO MR. SATYANARAYANA MAYOR COUNCILMEMBERS SO THE THE 0809 TIME PERIOD IS WHEN THE CITY WENT FROM ISSUING TEMPORARY CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS TO ESTABLISHING AN INTERIM USE PERMIT ENTITLEMENT AND SO THE INTERVIEWS PERMIT ENTITLEMENT IS IS SPECIFICALLY ALLOWED UNDER STATE LAW. >> RIGHT. OKAY. SO I'LL SEE IT A DIFFERENT WAY THAN IT WASN'T THAT WE GAVE WE WERE GIVEN THE RIGHT FOR TEMPORARY WE WERE THERE WAS A STATE STATUTE THAT WHEN WE MADE THE CHANGE THAT WE DID TO OUR ORDINANCES WE WERE NOW IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE STATUTE. IS THAT CORRECT? COUNSEL WAS THAT YES, THAT IS CORRECT TO ME. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I WANT TO BE REALLY CAREFUL BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO JUST MAKE THIS THE REASON I ASK THAT QUESTION IS BECAUSE IT DID WE DID WE GO BACK THEN TO THESE THESE THE FOLKS INVOLVED IN IN THESE BUSINESSES AND AND GET GET IN ROOM USE PERMANENT PERMITS ESTABLISHED WITH THEM MAYOR COUNCILMEMBERS WHEN ONCE THE INTERVIEWS PERMIT PROCESS WAS CREATED THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ITERATIONS OR SEVERAL SEPARATE INTERVIEWS PERMIT APPROVALS FOR BOTH PARKING COOPERATIVELY. OKAY SO SO WE WE NOW WANT TO UNDER THAT SAME UTILITY, UNDER THAT SAME USE WE JUST WANT TO GET CONFORMANCE TO THE CURRENT STANDARD AND FOR THOSE THAT USE IN THESE BUSINESSES IS THAT KIND OF THE GOAL OF THIS COUNCILMEMBER THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE GOALS THE GOAL RELATED TO RETROFITTING PARKING LOTS WITH WHAT WE REQUIRE IN PARKING LOTS AND NAMELY THAT'S TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS COMPLIANT LIGHTING, EXTRA LIGHTING, SOME LANDSCAPING AND PARKING LOT ISLANDS AND TO SOME DEGREE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. THAT'S WHAT WE REQUIRE ANY TIME THERE IS A PARKING LOT EXPANSION OR A NEW DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT. THE OTHER PART OF COURSE IS TO CREATE THAT TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY ALSO ON THE SITE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S NOT ALL. SO SO MR. MAYOR, THANK THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO I THINK WHAT I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THE WHOLE TIME IN MY CONVERSATION HERE IS IS YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT WE WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH, YOU KNOW, UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UNDER THE UNDER THE WAY THAT THE THE SOUTHLAKE DEVELOPMENT PLAN HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED AND IT'S YOU KNOW IT'S PUBLIC INFORMATION. IT'S OUT THERE FOR A LONG TIME WE WE HAVE THIS CHALLENGE RIGHT AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF WAYS THAT WE CAN HANDLE THIS CHALLENGE AND IT FEELS LIKE OTHER THAN LEAVING IT ALONE AND AND ESSENTIALLY AN OSTENSIBLY MAKING MAKING THE USE PERMANENT THERE'S THERE'S RETICENCE ON BEHALF OF THE FOLKS INVOLVED IN THE FIRST PART OF THIS WHICH IS THE THE ESTABLISHED BUSINESSES RIGHT SO I THINK I TRIED THIS THE LAST TIME BUT YOU KNOW THERE'S A TO ME IT FEELS LIKE THE OTHER USE CASES THAT ARE IN FRONT OF US TONIGHT SPECIFICALLY THE HOTEL PARKING AND THIS YOU KNOW EXISTING STRUCTURES PARKING DEVELOPMENT OR THAT USE OPPORTUNITY ARE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. IS THERE ANY REASON THAT WE AS A COUNCIL WOULD SEPARATE THEM AND VOTE ON THEM INDEPENDENTLY ? WOULD IT HELP IN ANY WAY? WELL, COUNCILMEMBER I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SPLIT SCREEN WITH WITH YOU ON ONE SIDE AND THEN THE TWO MOTIONS AND THEN THE MOTIONS REGARDING REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING AND HOTEL PARKING USES AND THEN AM I READING THAT WRONG MISMATCH OR SIDE AM I READING THAT WRONG? MAYOR MEMBERS ONE WE HAD PREVIOUSLY HOPE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH VARIATIONS ON AN ORDINANCE YOU KNOW POTENTIALLY AND ANTICIPATING DISCUSSION TONIGHT IN IN DISCUSSION WITH STAFF THIS AFTERNOON ULTIMATELY CONCLUDED THAT WE WOULD PREFER TO GET DIRECTION FROM YOU ON HOW YOU WOULD LIKE US TO MOVE FORWARD IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO ACT TONIGHT. AND THE MAIN REASON BEING TO PART THE FIRST IS EFFECTIVE DATES AND OUR PARTICULAR APPROACH TO MORATORIUMS AS WE CODIFY THE MORATORIUM IN IN OUR CITY CODE AND BECAUSE OF THAT THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THE ORDINANCE THAT SPECIFICALLY UNDOES THAT AND CODIFIES IT SIMILARLY. THE SECOND PART OF IT IS THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND WE WE WANT TO HAVE THE SAME EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THESE ACTIONS. WE COULD ADDRESS THAT BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE CHALLENGING TO DO ON THE FLY. THE SECOND PART THE SECOND PART OF IT IS SUBSTANTIVE WITH REGARD TO THE PARKING STANDARDS IN THEY'RE A BIT INTERTWINED AND I'M LOOKING AT PAGE 118 OF THE PACKET SECTION 21.3 OR 2.41 ROLLS RIGHT OFF THE TONGUE OF OUR CITY CODE IN THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE AND IT WOULD BE A LITTLE DICEY TO DO ON THE FLY IF YOU WANTED TO PASS IT APART BUT WE WOULD CERTAINLY LOOK TO GET DIRECTION FROM YOU ALL VERY SPECIFIC IF THERE ARE PARTS THAT YOU FEEL ARE VERY CLEARLY MOVING FORWARD AND IF THERE ARE SECTIONS THAT YOU WANT US TO MODIFY THE APPROACH THAT'S IN THE ORDINANCE. THANK YOU MR. MANAGER THAT'S THAT'S HELPFUL TO HEAR IT IN THAT WAY. I APPRECIATE THAT THAT WOULD HELP ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. >> COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO IT DOES. THANKS MR. ME APPRECIATE ALSO OTHER THOUGHTS HERE. COUNCILMEMBER NELSON YEAH. THANK YOU MAYOR. APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK OF STAFF AND THE INTERESTED PARTIES AND IN WORKING ON THIS IT'S NOT AN EASY ISSUE AND I APPRECIATE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT HAS BEEN PUT INTO IT. I'M STRUGGLING WITH THIS ORDINANCE. YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I'M NOT A HUGE FAN OF AND I'LL JUST KIND OF TRY TO LIST THEM QUICKLY AND GET A FEW COMMENTS THE THE SET ASIDE CONCEPT BUT I'M PROBABLY NOT AS IN FAVOR OF THAT FOR VERY DIFFERENT REASONS THAN THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY IS. I THINK IT LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE REDEVELOPED THERE AND PUTS YOU KNOW, THREE QUARTERS OF IT INTO A CONTINUED USE THAT FRANKLY I THINK THE DIRECTION I TRYING TO GET THIS AS AN ACCESSORY AND TO OTHER USES TO HAVE A HIGHER AND BETTER UTILIZATION OF THAT PROPERTY THAN PARKING. AND SO YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE THAT ALMOST IN SOME WAYS LIMITS US AND WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE DOING IN PARTNERSHIP HOPEFULLY WITH THE OWNERS OF THAT PROPERTY THE STANDARDS PUT IN AND HAVING THEM DO THE THE ISLANDS AND ALL OF THAT I TOTALLY GET THE IDEA OF IT. IT MAKES SENSE EXCEPT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE'D ACTUALLY LIKE THEM TO TRANSITION THAT USE TO SOMETHING ELSE AND IN MY MIND IT CREATES A DISTANCE AND FOR THEM TO DO THAT TO INVEST MONEY I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY PARKING ISLANDS COST TO HAVE A PLAN WHERE HOPEFULLY AND FIVE YEARS TWO YEARS, TWO YEARS WOULD BE BETTER THAN FIVE NINE YEARS WOULD BE WORSE YOU KNOW THAT SOME OF THAT ENDS UP GETTING TAKEN OUT. IT SEEMS I KNOW AS A CONTRACTOR IT'S SOMETHING WE WORK WITH OUR CLIENTS ALL THE TIME TO AVOID. WITH THAT SAID, I ALSO DON'T LIKE THE IDEA THAT THIS WOULD BE A COUPLE I APPRECIATE THE ARGUMENT THAT THIS IS A PERMANENT STANDARD AND TO BE BLUNT I DON'T BUY THE ARGUMENT. I THINK IT'S ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN TO BE TEMPORARY. I THINK IT WAS FRANKLY VERY GENEROUS OF THE CITY 36 YEARS AGO TO PROVIDE A INCOME GENERATING USE ON A TEMPORARY BASIS. I LOOK AROUND AND SEE THE OTHER OWNERS OF PROPERTY IN THAT AREA THAT DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT THAT AREN'T ABLE TO GENERATE THAT INCOME AND THEY HAVE TREMENDOUS HOLDING AND CARRYING COSTS ON THAT VACANT PROPERTY AND THAT PROVIDES AN INCENTIVE TO GET IT DEVELOPED TO DO THE NEXT PROJECT AND WE CAN SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, VERY CLOSE TO THERE AS AS MULTIPLE PHASES HAVE BEEN DONE EVEN RECENTLY AROUND THAT AREA. I DO LIKE SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT HAVE BEEN GENERATED. I KNOW MR. WILLIAMSON ISN'T HERE HIS TALK OF INTEGRATING THE PARKING INTO OH IS APOLOGIZE SO MY BAD. SO I DIDN'T SPEAK TONIGHT SO IT DIDN'T YOU KNOW BUT I LIKE THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO INTEGRATE THE PARKING INTO THE USE SIMILAR TO WHAT I THINK THE MALL OF AMERICA IS PROPOSING WITH THEIR SERVICES THE PARKING ATTACHED TO TO THEIR PROPERTY THERE. I LIKE THE DEVELOPMENT FLEXIBILITY IF THERE'S A BETTER USE THAN THE RESIDENTIAL IF WE COULD GET SOME TYPE OF COMMERCIAL I MEAN RIGHT ALONG FOR 94 AND HAVE THE BIG BANNER UP THAT THERE'S A BIG COMPANY THERE I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT. SO I GUESS I'LL MAKE IT SHORTER HERE. I DON'T THINK WE'RE THERE AND I THINK TO COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO IS POINT I WOULD BE PREPARED TO MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY WITH THE THE NEW USES THE HOTEL USES HAVE FURTHER CONVERSATION AND ALL THAT RUNS INTO A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE PARKING GO SITE SO I WOULD EVEN BE WILLING TO TAKE A LOOK AT BECAUSE I THINK THE MORATORIUM HAS A HARD STOP DEADLINE CAN'T EXCEED NOTHING TO DO THERE. BUT COULD WE PASS AN INTERIM USE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND BUY OURSELVES SOME MORE CONVERSATION TIME, ALIGN THE TWO PROPERTIES AND GET THIS RESOLVED? BECAUSE WHAT I SEE IS YOU KNOW, HONESTLY THE CITY IS VERY GENEROUS IN PROVIDING THIS TEMPORARY USE. IT'S EXTRAORDINARILY PROFITABLE AND SO IT'S CONTINUED IT IN MY MIND PROVIDES A DISINCENTIVE TO TO DEVELOP THAT PROPERTY THAT THAT OTHER PLACES DON'T HAVE THAT ADVANTAGE OF. I THINK IT ALSO HURTS THE COMMUNITY HERE WE COLLECT FAR LESS TAXES ON THOSE PROPERTIES THAN NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES THAT ARE DEVELOPED AND IN SOME WAYS I FEEL LIKE OUR RESIDENTS ARE SUBSIDIZING PARKING FOR PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF BLOOMINGTON . I THINK THE POINT IS VERY FAIR THOUGH THAT WE BENEFIT GREATLY FROM BEING NEXT TO THE AIRPORT AND HAVING ALL THOSE PEOPLE COME IN HERE. SO I THINK THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A TRADEOFF THERE. BUT I THINK IN TERMS OF THESE USES THE GOAL SEEMS TO WHAT I SEE IN SUMMARY OF ALL THIS IS TO INCORPORATE THESE INTO THE OTHER HIGHER DENSITY USES AS QUICKLY AS WE POSSIBLY CAN UTILIZING THAT THAT REVENUE STREAM TO HELP MAKE THOSE PROJECTS POSSIBLE. AND I ALSO THINK THAT FROM WHAT WE'RE SEEING THAT ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT'S LOOKING AT DOING THIS IT MAY PROVIDE HOUSING WITHOUT THE USE OF SUBSIDY AND TIFF WHICH I THINK IS FANTASTIC WE CAN FIND A DIFFERENT REVENUE SOURCE OTHER THAN SUBSIDY FOR THOSE PROJECTS. SORRY FOR BEING LONG WINDED. THOSE ARE SOME OF MY THOUGHTS . THANKS. COUNCILMEMBER NELSON. COUNCILMEMBER THANK YOU MAYOR YEAH, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS AND THIS IS A VERY COMPLICATED ISSUE I I'M IN LINE WITH THE HOTEL AND THE NEW PARKING AND EXISTING I WOULD SUPPORT THAT WHEN IT COMES TO THE EXISTING TO BE FRANK I DON'T LIKE PARKING LOTS. I THINK WE ARE VERY OVER PARKING IN BLOOMINGTON AS IT IS BUT THEN MY CAPITAL IS FREE MARKET PROPERTY RIGHTS MINE KICKS IN AND THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES HAVE BEEN PART OF BLOOMINGTON FOR THE BETTER PART OF 30 YEARS AND AS A AS A COMMUNITY WHO IS SO CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT I'M INCLINED TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES IN BLOOMINGTON WHETHER THEY ALIGN WITH WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE SOUTH LOOP OR NOT THEY CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL. THEY ARE PROVIDING A SERVICE THEY HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY CONTINUE TO BE WILLING TO WORK WITH US AND SO I WOULD BE INCLINED TO MOVE INTO THE CONDITIONAL USE PROCESS WITHOUT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND ALLOW THESE TWO SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN BLOOMINGTON, CONTINUE TO SUPPORT BLOOMINGTON AND WORK WITH BLOOMINGTON TO GET TO A POINT WHERE WE HAVE BETTER USE OPPORTUNITIES. SO WHAT THAT DOES IS MY THOUGHTS ON IT. I LIKE THE HOTEL LIKE THE NEW EXISTING BUT I DON'T THINK WHAT WE'VE PROPOSED GIVES THE CITY OR THE OPERATORS WHAT WE WANT AND SO LOOK CONTINUALLY FOR STAFFORD TO PROVIDE THAT BUT AT THIS POINT I CAN'T SUPPORT WHAT WE HAVE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE REMEMBER IT WAS YEAH I, I AGREE WITH BOTH OF MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS. THEY BOTH HAVE VERY VALID POINTS. THE ONE THING I AM NOT HEARING FROM ANYONE HERE IS AND I ALSO KNOW TO MYSELF I'M GOING I HAD TO READ HIM BECAUSE IT'S JUST A LONG QUESTION FOR WHOEVER WANTS TO ANSWER WHAT HAVE YOU OR PERHAPS EVEN OUR CITY ATTORNEY WHAT ARE THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF A PROPOSED ORDINANCE ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE CITY'S TEMPORARY CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS AND THE ARGUMENTS FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS REGARDING THEIR PERMANENT RIGHTS? THAT'S WHAT I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT ARE WE PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT THE POLICY COSTS IF WE PASSED THIS ORDINANCE TONIGHT WE'RE IN THE FUTURE. I AGREE WITH THAT FACT THAT IF WE LET THEM RUN THEIR BUSINESS FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME THEY COULD PROBABLY DEVELOP THE PROPERTY ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT ASKING US TO. IF I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF PROVIDING FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE WE DON'T SEE ANY OF THE REVENUE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR WHEN IT COMES TO TAXES AT LEAST THAT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION. I, I LIKE TO SEE THE TAXES THAT THE CITY WILL BE UTILIZING FOR ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE OR DEVELOPMENT IN OTHER AREAS RATHER THAN PROVIDING YOU, YOU KNOW, INCREMENTAL TAX ASSISTANCE TO DEVELOP. I RATHER LIKE THEY MENTION I WOULD RATHER SEE THEM DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT HAVING THE CITY GETTING INVOLVED IN IT. BUT I DO WANT AND ASSURE IF ANYBODY CAN PROVIDE IT TO ME WHAT ARE THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS IF WE PASSED THIS ORDINANCE TODAY? WELL, I APPRECIATE YOUR ASKING THE QUESTION, COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS. UNFORTUNATELY OUR CITY ATTORNEY CAN'T ANSWER THAT IN OPEN FORUM IT GIVEN THAT WE HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IN A NEGOTIATION SETTING LIKE THIS WE HAVE AN ENCLOSED FORUM. AND SO TO ANSWER THAT IN OPEN FORUM I THINK WOULD BE WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME. I HAD SAID THAT I HAD TO ASK THE QUESTION. FAIR ENOUGH. FAIR ENOUGH. WELL HERE'S WHERE MY HEAD IS COUNCIL ON THIS AND IT'S THERE'S THERE'S A LOT GOING ON . THIS IS I THINK IT PREDATES JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY WITH MAYBE THE EXCEPTION OF MISS ECONOMY SHOULDER. I THINK IT PREDATES JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY HERE WHAT THIS WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE AND WE'RE BEING IMPACTED BY DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE LONG BEFORE ANY OF US WERE ON THE COUNCIL, LONG BEFORE ANYBODY IN THIS CHAMBERS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MR. GRIFFITH PERHAPS WAS WAS INVOLVED IN THIS IN THIS ISSUE. AND I, I HONESTLY THINK WE NEED TO CONSIDER IT FROM THAT LONG TERM. COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, I MEAN YOU MENTIONED YOU THOUGHT IT WAS GENEROUS OF THE CITY. I AGREE IT WAS GENEROUS OF THE CITY BUT THAT WAS KIND OF THE DEAL WITH THE DEVIL THAT WAS MADE. AND I THINK RIGHT NOW WE ARE FACING THE REALITY THAT WE HAVE IN TERMS OF THE REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING WE'VE GOT VERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES IN THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON THAT ARE THERE AND OPERATING BECAUSE OF THE DECISIONS THAT THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON MADE AND SEE THE TWO THREE DECADES AGO AND TO TO TRY AND TURN BACK TIME OR TO TO CHANGE THAT AFTER THREE DECADES PLUS OF DOING THIS I THINK IS A TENUOUS THING FOR THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON. I REALLY DO THINK IT IS I THINK WE'RE ALSO CUT NOT JUST HERE BUT IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY ALSO OF WE'RE CAUGHT IN THE TRAP OF BUSINESSES THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE BUSINESSES IN AREAS THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE REDEVELOP BUT THEY'RE JUST DOING TOO WELL FINANCIALLY AND SUCCESSFULLY AND SO WHY WOULD THEY REDEVELOP AND I AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS IN THE CITY'S BEST INTEREST TO TO FORCE THEIR HAND AND MAKE THEM REDEVELOP. I THINK WE'RE KIND OF CAUGHT IN THAT WAY AND I CAN THINK OF AT LEAST TWO OTHER ADDITIONAL PROPERTY OWNERS IN THIS CITY WHO OWN A LOT OF PROPERTY WHO ARE DOING JUST FINE AND THERE THEY HAVE NO IN THEY HAVE NO INCLINATION OR NO MOTIVATION TO REDEVELOP BECAUSE THE LAND IS PAID FOR. THEY'RE MAKING MONEY ON IT AND WHY WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT? AND SO WE NEED TO CONSIDER THAT AS MUCH AS I AGREE WITH COUNCILMEMBER I DON'T NECESSARILY LIKE WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW. I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE TO TO FORCE THE HAND IT TO CHANGE WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW. I DO THINK I THINK WE'RE IN AGREEMENT HERE AND I'M HEARING AGREEMENT WITH THE AIRPORT OR WITH THE HOTEL PARKING IN THE THE ADDITIONAL PARKING. I THINK WE CAN AGREE WITH THAT . AND HONESTLY MY THOUGHT ON THE REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING I YOU KNOW I'D IT WOULD BE GREAT TO TO LAND SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU KNOW A COMPROMISE THAT NOBODY'S HAPPY WITH WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE BUT WITHOUT THE WITHOUT THE THE THE DEDICATION OF LAND TO THE YOU KNOW KIND OF RIGHT IN THE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT GRAPHIC THAT WE HAVE THERE. BUT I'M ALSO NOT CONVINCED THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO END UP AT PERMITTED USE JUST BECAUSE OF THE REALITIES AROUND THIS. THOSE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS COUNCIL AND THAT'S WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW. COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO, GOOD TO YOU. AND JUST THE SECOND I WANT TO SEE IF COUNCILMEMBER CARTER WANTS IN HERE FIRST. THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO YEAH, I MEAN I'LL ECHO EVERYONE'S SENTIMENTS RIGHT? THIS IS A REALLY TOUGH ISSUE IF I GOT WHAT I REALLY WANTED I WOULD JUST GO WITH IT BEING A PROHIBITED USE AND WE WOULD FIRST DEVELOPMENT AND WE GET EXACTLY WHAT THE VISION IS OF THE SOUTH LOOP DISTRICT IN THAT AREA. HOWEVER I'M NOT ACTUALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. DON'T WORRY. NO BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITIES OF THIS AND BECAUSE OF ALL THE REASONS ALREADY STATED YOU KNOW I ALSO THINK THAT THERE ARE CONSIDERATIONS SOME KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RELATED TO HOW THE PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD RESPOND DEPENDING ON HOW WE ACT TONIGHT. RIGHT. AND SO I THINK THAT'S MAYBE BEEN ALLUDED TO A LITTLE BIT AND THAT REALLY GIVES ME PAUSE. AND SO AS I LOOK AT THIS ISSUE, I WOULD SAY I, I AM VERY SUPPORTIVE OF NEW FACILITIES AND EXISTING STRUCTURES IN CONDITIONAL USE AND THE HOTEL AIRPORT PARKING I AM LEANING TO I THINK WHAT I WOULD PREFER IS THE CONDITIONAL USE WITH NO OR LIMITED CONDITIONS. I DO AGREE THAT WITH IF WE ADDED PERFORMANCE STANDARDS THAT FURTHER DISINCENTIVIZES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LAND AND SO I'M NOT I'M NOT REALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT ROUTE AND I DON'T SO SO YES THAT'S WHERE I'M LEANING THE CONDITIONAL USE WITH NO LIMITED CONDITIONS AT THIS POINT I FEEL LIKE THAT IS KIND OF WHERE THE COMPROMISE IS. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IS REALLY GETTING EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT BUT I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE REQUIRING A SET ASIDE OF A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LAND. UM, I ALSO I THINK THAT THAT COULD LIMIT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE. I THINK WE AGAIN I THINK COUNCILMEMBER NELSON MENTIONED WE'VE HAD SOME OTHER IDEAS SURFACE ABOUT DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD HAPPEN AND SO I WOULDN'T WANT TO KIND OF HAMSTRING CURRENT PROPERTY OWNERS AS THEY TRY TO GET CREATIVE AND IN MAKING THIS WORK. AND SO I GUESS I WOULD JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, I AM COMFORTABLE IF WE WERE TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, PUT OUR FOOT ON THE GAS AS IT RELATES TO THE NEW FACILITIES AND AIRPORT PARKING, YOU KNOW, I REALLY WOULD LOVE TO FIGURE OUT SOME WAY THAT WE COULD WORK WITH THE CURRENT OPERATORS OF THE AIRPORT PARKING, YOU KNOW TO I MEAN I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY HAPPEN BUT TO FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO GET CREATIVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE COULD MOVE THOSE PROPERTIES INTO DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE I JUST I DO I MEAN I GUESS AT THE END OF THE DAY MY CONCERN IS THAT THESE PROPERTIES ARE GOING TO REMAIN EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY ARE LUCRATIVE. BUT I ALSO YOU KNOW, HOPE THAT THE OWNERS WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK WITH US AND TRY TO DEVELOP IN THE FUTURE. >> THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO KNOW THANKS MR. MAYOR. I, I THINK I WAS GOING TO SAY PROBABLY SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE POINTED THAN WHAT COUNCILMEMBER CARTER JUST SAID WHICH IS YOU KNOW I THE ONE THING THAT THAT HAS ALWAYS BOTHERED ME ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING AND YOU KNOW IS YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE SO MUCH THAT THESE ARE LONG STANDING BUSINESSES AND I TEND TO SUPPORT THOSE. I LOVE TO SUPPORT LONG STANDING BUSINESSES. I THINK THEY DO A LOT IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A THERE'S A YOU KNOW, YOU CAN AND I'M THINKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MR. REEVES COMMENTS LIKE A LOT OF THAT A LOT OF THAT WORK THAT STARTED YOU KNOW, IS NOW BEEN DONE BY OTHER PEOPLE. I MEAN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S GONE INTO THE SOUTH LOOP THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO THE FAMILY THAT OWNS THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS PROBABLY WAY MORE THAN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS PUT IN BY THAT PARTICULAR FAMILY. RIGHT. IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE ASSOCIATED WITH LIGHT RAIL, THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT THAT HAS GONE IN BY THE FOLKS THAT BUILT UP YOU KNOW, THE INDIGO AND THE AND THE FOLKS AT SIC WHO HAVE PUT IN, YOU KNOW, A WHOLE NEW BUILDING AND THE FOLKS AT POLLER WHO HAVE EXPANDED AND EVERYTHING ELSE. SO SO IF WE LOOK AT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THAT PARTICULAR FAMILY ON THAT THING ON THAT AREA, I WOULD ARGUE THAT IT HAS BEEN IT HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY BY THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE SINCE THEN ALL WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ALL WITH THE KNOWLEDGE BY EVERYONE INVOLVED INCLUDING THE PEOPLE THAT OWN THOSE PROPERTIES THAT THIS IS THE DIRECTION THAT THAT THAT THE MET COUNCIL AND THE CITY HAVE AGREED THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. NOW THAT DOESN'T THAT ISN'T THAT HASN'T PREVENTED ANYBODY FROM DOING WHATEVER THEY WANT LIKE I MEAN TO YOUR POINT, MR. MAYOR, ABOUT HAVING OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE CITY, WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PROPERTY DEVELOPERS AND MANAGERS IN THE CITY WHO OWN VAST AMOUNTS OF OUR COMMERCIAL AND MULTIFAMILY HOUSING WHO WILL NOT INVEST IN THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO AND THAT'S UNFORTUNATE RIGHT? BECAUSE WHAT BOTHERS ME IS ON ONE HAND I'M HEARING OH WE'RE SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE BLOOMINGTON COMMUNITY AND THE FABRIC AND EVERYTHING AND ON THE OTHER HAND WE'RE NOT GOING TO ABSOLUTELY DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU CONTINUE TO GROW AND THAT IS A FRUSTRATING POSITION AS A CITY TO HEAR ABOUT WHEN WE AS A COUNCIL AND THE STAFF ARE TRYING TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT 30 YEARS MIGHT LOOK LIKE FOR THE CITY, RIGHT? SO YOU KNOW, I'VE HELD MY TONGUE ON BEING FRUSTRATED BY THAT CARD BEING USED OVER AND OVER AGAIN NOT BECAUSE I DON'T AGREE THAT BUSINESSES AND PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE RIGHTS IN THIS CITY THAT WE DON'T JUST GET TO RUN ROUGHSHOD OVER. I DO AGREE WITH THAT. I'VE SAID THAT FROM THE BEGINNING. BUT I DO I DO WANT PEOPLE TO EITHER STOP AND JUST SAY LOOK, HERE'S THE DEAL WE MAKE SO MUCH MONEY BY DOING NOTHING HERE. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BIG INCENTIVE FOR US TO DO THIS. I'D RATHER YOU BE HONEST ABOUT THAT THAN TO TRY TO SAY OH, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T REALLY DO THIS TO US BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR SO LONG AND EVERYTHING ELSE WHEN FOR DECADES LITERALLY AT LEAST AS FAR AS I CAN THINK OF TWO DECADES 20 THE TENS AND THE 20S OTHER THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING IN THAT SPACE AND NOT A BUDGE, NOT A MOVEMENT, NOT ANYTHING. AND SO YOU KNOW LET'S JUST NOT SAY THAT ANYMORE AND SAY HERE'S WHERE WE'RE AT. WE HAVE A GROUP OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY LUCRATIVE THAT THAT ARE LIKE ALL THEY'RE CALLED EVERYTHING THAT THEY GET FROM IT IS VALUABLE AND THEY HAVE NO INCENTIVE NOR DO THEY WANT TO CREATE AN INCENTIVE ON THEIR OWN TO DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT. AND WE AS A CITY COULD TRY TO FORCE THEIR HAND BUT I THINK THAT THAT WOULD CREATE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS THAT WE'RE NOT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT IT, RIGHT? SO I WOULD GO BACK TO WHAT I KIND OF ORIGINALLY SUGGESTED WHICH WAS TO TO SEPARATE THESE OUT AND GET THOSE OTHER TWO TYPES OF OF OF ITEMS PULLED TOGETHER MAYBE NOT NOW BUT IN A FUTURE MEETING BECAUSE AS MISMANAGED I SAID THAT MIGHT BE VERY DIFFICULT AND THEN WHAT I MIGHT SUGGEST WE DO IT MAYBE THIS IS ALLUDING TO COUNCILMEMBER NELSON'S POINT IS WE WE PROVIDE SINCE WE HAVE ONE OF THESE PROPERTIES OUT OF COMPLIANCE THAT RIGHT NOW WE EXTEND THAT TEMPORARY USE OR WHATEVER IT IS I APOLOGIZE IF I'M GETTING THE WORDS WRONG TO 2027 TO ALIGN WITH THE OTHER PROPERTIES EXPIRATION AND THEN WE WORK BETWEEN NOW AND THEN TO GET SOME OTHER RESOLUTION DONE. IF ANYTHING IF NOT IT GETS CONVERTED WHATEVER IS THE OUTCOME THAT THAT MIGHT BE A PROPOSAL I PUT ON THE TABLE FOR EVERYBODY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER ANY COMMENTS ON THAT? COUNCILMEMBER CARTER I WOULD JUST SAY I'D BE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT APPROACH AND THE THOUGHTS. COUNCILMEMBER NELSON BASED ON MY PREVIOUS COMMENTS I THINK I'D BE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. SO YEAH AND I THINK THE THE GOAL THERE YOU KNOW IS YOU KNOW, TO RESPECT THE EXISTING BUSINESSES AND TO FIND A PATHWAY FOR THEM TO CONTINUE TO EXIST AND TO GET SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT OVER 30 YEARS AGO. I MEAN THERE THERE WERE TWO PARTIES TO THOSE TRANSACTIONS YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T JUST THE CITY MADE DECISIONS, THE BUSINESSES MADE DECISIONS AND WELL AND PART OF THAT DECISION WAS WE'LL DO THIS TEMPORARILY AND AS WE'RE DEVELOPING AND IT WAS NOTED VERY CLEARLY THAT THERE WERE VERY PROLIFIC DEVELOPERS AND SO I THINK THERE WAS PROBABLY EVERY EXPECTATION THAT IT WOULD GET DEVELOPED AND I WILL RESPECT THE FACT THAT BOTH OF THE LOCATIONS HAVE MADE ATTEMPTS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS TO DO THAT AND THERE CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN SOME MARKET INTERRUPTIONS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. SO I THINK WE HAVE TO RESPECT THAT AS WELL. BUT I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF GIVING MORE TIME FOR MORE CONVERSATION AND I THINK THEY BROUGHT FORTH VERY GOOD IDEAS ON HOW TO ACTUALLY GET SOME DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT WORK FOR THEM AND FOR THE CITY MOVING FORWARD. I THINK THAT'S EVERYONE'S GOAL . EVERYONE WANTS SOMETHING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD THAT WORKS WELL FOR ALL BOTH PARTIES AND I SAY LET'S JUST GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME AND COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS, I HAVE A TENDENCY TO AGREE TO THAT. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT'S JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS MENTION KICKING UP THE CAN KICKING CAME FORWARD. I HOPE IF I'M STILL AROUND IN TWO YEARS THAT IF WE DECIDE TO VOTE ON THIS WE MAKE A DECISION REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER THE OUTCOME WILL BE AND DEAL WITH IT. IDEALLY I AM SUPPORTIVE OF OTHER BUSINESSES OUT THERE BUT AT THE SAME TIME AFTER LEARNING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE ENTIRE AREA AND FROM BOTH SIDES IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO JUST MAKE A DECISION IN ONE EVENING IF IF WE DON'T IF WE'RE NOT READY TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES EITHER WAY BECAUSE IF WE GIVE TWO MORE YEARS ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN WITH THE ECONOMY AND WE'LL NEVER SEE THOSE TWO LOTS DEVELOPED AT LEAST IN MY LIFETIME AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I GOT BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT TO 35, 36 YEARS LATER HE HAS IT HAPPEN AND SO AS I HEARD FOR NOW FELLOW OR FOR ME OR A CREW MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, HE SAYS SOMETIMES WE HAD TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT THAT THE PUBLIC DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE MAKE HIM BUT I THINK I IF IN TWO YEARS I HAPPEN TO BE HERE I WILL REMIND WHOEVER REMAINS HERE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION AND DECIDE WHETHER WE DEAL WITH ANY OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR DECISIONS. BUT WE HAVE TO DO IT BECAUSE 4 TO 6 YEARS EVERY COUNCIL HAS FULL SPAWNED THESE JUST KEEP ROLLING THAT CAME FORWARD AND HE HAS TO STOP AT ONE POINT. I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT OF VIEW AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE CITY'S POINT OF VIEW. I UNDERSTAND THE COUNCIL'S I LEARNED A LOT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD A LOT OF TIME LATELY BUT WHAT THE PLANS HAVE BEEN FOR THAT FROM THE MID COUNCIL TO STATE AND I TO THE CITY SO I'M IN LINE WITH THAT TOO. I ALIGN WITH THOSE THOUGHTS AS WELL BUT WE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION. I YOU KNOW AT THIS POINT I THINK WE MOST OF US AGREE THAT WE CAN PROBABLY WAIT FOR ANOTHER TWO MORE ANOTHER TWO YEARS. BUT PLEASE REMEMBER WHAT WE DECIDED TODAY WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION AND DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES AS WE WILL IF WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TODAY. I THINK COUNCILMEMBER I'LL TAKE MY SECOND BITE OF THE APPLE BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE HAS HAD THEIR CHANCE. >> I'M READY TO MOVE ON THIS TODAY. I DON'T WANT TO HOLD IT ANOTHER TWO YEARS. I'M READY TO JUST BE DONE. WE'VE KICKED ENOUGH AND I'M NOT HERE IN TWO YEARS. YOU GUYS KNOW THAT I'M NOT RUNNING AGAIN AND SO I THINK DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO JUST MOVE IT TODAY. LET'S GET SOME ACTION ON THIS. BUT COUNCIL CAN DO WHAT THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO DO SO JUST COUNTING NOSES WHAT I'M WHAT I'M HEARING HERE IS A DIRECTION TOWARD PERHAPS TONIGHT MAKING A MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF TO COME BACK WITH A AN ORDINANCE FOR THE HOTEL PARKING AND THE EXISTING PARKING THE EXISTING PROPOSED PROPOSED EXISTING STRUCTURE PARKING AND THEN TO COME BACK ALSO WITH SOMETHING THAT CONTINUES OR EXTENDS THE INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR THE REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING TO 2027. SO WE HAVE TWO THEN THAT EXPIRE AT THE SAME TIME. IS THAT BASICALLY WHAT I WAS HEARING THERE COUNCIL MEMBERS? MR. CENTENARIO SO LOTS OF THOUGHTS THROWN IN MY HEAD BUT ONE THING THAT COMES TOP OF MIND IS I'M NOT SURE HOW WE HOW THE COUNCIL CAN EXTEND INTERVIEWS PERMIT WHEN THERE IS NO INTERVIEWS, PERMIT APPLICATION OR TO TAKE ACTION ARE MERE MEMBERS THE THE FUNCTION COULD BE AN INTERIM USE PERMIT BUT THEY'RE ONE OF THEM IS EXPIRED SO THEY WOULD NEED TO REAPPLY AND GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS BECAUSE ONE DOESN'T EXIST. ONE DOESN'T EXIST . SO TALK ABOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS IF YOU COULD. SURE, MR. MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS SO THIS IS A THIS IS A AGAIN THIS WHOLE ISSUE IS EXTREMELY COMPLICATED BUT WE HAVE A MORATORIUM AND WE CANNOT ACCEPT AN INTERIM PERMIT APPLICATION FOR MOTOR FOR PARKING UNTIL THAT MORATORIUM ENDS. SO I DON'T I DON'T SEE A MECHANISM FOR HOW PARKING GO WHICH IS THE FACILITY IT DOESN'T HAVE AN INTERIM USE PERMIT HOW WE COULD CONSIDER HOW THE COUNCIL COULD CONSIDER EXTENDING IT WHEN WE HAVE A MORATORIUM IT DOESN'T ALLOW US TO ACCEPT AN APPLICATION. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, MR. CENTENARIO BUT THE COUNCIL ALSO HAS THE POWER TO TO LIFT A MORATORIUM AT ANY TIME. SURE. AND TO LIFT THE MORATORIUM AND THEN WORK TOWARD AN APPLICATION IF MR. JOHNSON HAS A BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE I MAY NOT KNOW. >> HI MEMBERS. SO EFFECTIVELY WHAT YOU WOULD NEED TO DO TO CONSIDER GIVING A PATHWAY TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO APPLY FOR ANOTHER INTERIM USE PERMIT IS TO MAINTAIN REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING AS AN INTERIM USE IN THE ZONING DISTRICT WHICH EFFECTIVELY WOULD BE NO CHANGE FROM THE CITY'S EXISTING POLICY. I APPRECIATE ALL THE DISCUSSION THAT WE'VE HEARD, YOU KNOW, SETTING OUT ON THIS PROCESS AND IT HAS BEEN RESOURCE INTENSIVE TO DO THIS WORK. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS, A LOT OF STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, A LOT OF RESEARCH THAT'S BEEN DONE BY A LOT OF STAFF INCLUDING LEGAL STAFF. THE PURPOSE OR THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO BRING FINAL POLICY RESOLUTION TO THIS QUESTION A QUESTION THAT HAS, AS YOU CAN TELL DOGGED THE CITY FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT PLANNING STAFF'S GOAL IN THIS PROCESS WAS TO ACHIEVE A RESOLUTION THAT WE FELT WAS REASONABLE IN FURTHERANCE BOTH OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS GOALS IN THE LONG RUN BUT ALSO IN SUPPORT OF THE DISTRICT PLANS TENANTS ,CORE TENANTS OF CREATING TRANSIT ORIENTED AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH LOOP. SO THAT'S WHAT WE PROVIDED TO YOU. WHAT I'VE BEEN HEARING IN THIS DISCUSSION I THINK AND LET ME KNOW IF I'M OFF COURSE BUT IS THAT RIGHT NOW THERE'S CONSENSUS THAT THE PROVISIONS AROUND ALLOWING IT AS A PERMITTED ACCESS FOR USE IN HOTELS IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE COUNCIL THAT ALLOWING IT AND EXISTING PARKING STRUCTURES AND TRUCKS ARE IN THE SIX TWO DISTRICT THAT HAVE ACCESS CAPACITY IS ACCESSIBLE IS ACCEPTABLE SUBJECT TO A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROCESS AND SO THEN IT BECOMES JUST A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE TWO EXISTING FACILITIES IN BLOOMINGTON AND THE CONSENSUS OR AT LEAST THE SPIRIT OF THE CONVERSATION I HEARD IS THAT THERE WAS DISCOMFORT AROUND REQUIRING THE DEVELOPMENT SET ASIDE AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED IN THE ORDINANCE. IF THAT IS THE CASE I THINK THE THING THAT STAFF NEEDS TO HEAR THE DIRECTION THAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW IS WHETHER WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH LEAVING THE SITES AS THEY EXIST TODAY AND GRANTING THEM SOME FORM OF PERMANENT RIGHTS TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN THAT MANNER OR WHETHER WE ARE GOING TO ADOPT A POLICY WHICH WILL ENCOURAGE AND INCENTIVIZE THEIR REDEVELOPMENT WHICH IS WHAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS. SO IF THE COUNCIL IS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THAT DIRECTION FOR VARIOUS REASONS I THINK WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS JUST DIRECTION ON MAKING IT GRANTING IT SOME FORM OF PERMANENT RIGHTS WITHOUT THESE PROVISIONS IN THE CODE THAT'S JUST WHAT I'M WHAT I'VE BEEN HEARING. A COUPLE OTHER THINGS THAT WERE DISCUSSED WAS MAYBE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROCESS BUT WITH NO OR LIMITED PERFORMANCE STANDARDS I WOULD SAY IT FOR EXISTING OPERATING AN EXISTING OPERATING BUSINESS UNLIKE WHAT WE SAID ABOUT THE NEW PROPOSED USES THERE'S ACTUALLY LESS VALUE IN THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROCESS FOR EXISTING BUSINESSES. THEY'RE ALREADY OPERATING. THAT BEING SAID, I THINK SOME OF THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS ON WHAT TYPES OF RETROFITTING OR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SITE YOU WOULD EXPECT TO GRANT THAT PERMANENT APPROVAL IF THERE ARE NONE OR LIMITED THAT I THINK STAFF I MEAN AGAIN WE'RE DOING ALL THIS A LITTLE BIT ON THE FLY AND MAKING THE SAUSAGE TOGETHER BUT I WOULD ACTUALLY ADVOCATE THAT IT JUST BE A PERMITTED USE UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES BASED ON THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NOT REQUIRING A CHANGE TO THE FACILITY. SO I'VE GIVEN YOU YOU'VE PROVIDED US A LOT. I'M GIVING YOU A LOT AND I THINK FUNDAMENTALLY THE TWO THINGS WE NEED DIRECTION ON IS WHETHER OR NOT TO GO FORWARD WITH THE SET ASIDE OR NOT SO KIND OF MOVING FORWARD AS IS AND THEN WHAT TYPES OF IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SITE DO YOU WANT TO SEE? AND FORGIVE ME I DON'T MEAN TO DRIVE THE CONVERSATION TOO MUCH. I'M JUST TRYING TO SYNTHESIZE ALL THE THINGS I'VE HEARD AND BE MORE CLEAR MOVING FORWARD. YEAH. YEAH. WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT ATTEMPT TO CLARIFY THINGS HERE AND PUT SOME BOUNDARIES OR SOME WALLS AROUND THE CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING . I THINK YOU ARE YOU DID HEAR CORRECTLY REGARDING THE HOTEL PARKING IN THE EXISTING STRUCTURE PARKING I, I THINK THAT WAS THE CASE THAT WE ALL WERE TALKING ABOUT AND IF WE I THINK THE CORRECT DIRECTION WOULD BE ASK STAFF TO COME BACK WITH WITH ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION REFLECTING THE CONVERSATION IN THAT WAY. MAYOR MEMBERS I, I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFIC DEPENDING UPON WHERE YOU ALL GO. I THINK WE'RE VERY CLEAR ON THAT AT LEAST I AM AND I THINK STAFF ARE AS WELL VERY CLEAR ON THE EXISTING FACILITIES YOU KNOW ACCESS CAPACITY AND EXISTING FACILITIES AS WELL AS HOTEL PARKING AND THEN IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT'S SPECIFICITY, HOW YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM PARKING GOING BERGEN FLY YES AND I, I, I HEARD I HEARD NIC TALK ABOUT PERMITTED I HEARD I HEARD TALK ABOUT UPS I HEARD SORT OF FOUR BUCKETS OF TOPICS WITHIN THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND I HEARD PEOPLE SAY NO OR LIMITED A COUPLE OF TIMES I HEARD NO WITH REGARD TO THE SET ASIDE AND THE 2034 DEADLINE AND I AND I AND I HEARD SOME MAYBE THE ABSENCE OF DISCUSSION OR MAYBE THE WILLINGNESS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING THAT ARE IN THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR AT LEAST GET SOME CLARITY FROM STAFF IF YOU DO PROCEED WITH A COPY APPROACH, DO YOU WANT THOSE TO STAY IN? IS THAT IN THE CATEGORY OF LIMITED OR WOULD YOU RATHER US TAKE A DIFFERENT APPROACH WITH REGARD TO THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR COPIES ? AND I HAD HEARD I THOUGHT FROM AT LEAST A COUPLE OF FOLKS THAT IN TERMS OF THE THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE WEREN'T NECESSARILY THAT WE THOUGHT PERHAPS THAT WAS AN IMPEDIMENT TO DEVELOPMENT, THAT IF MONEY IS SPENT ON THE ISLANDS AND TREES AND LIGHTING AND SO ON AND THAT IT WOULD BE AN IMPEDIMENT TO MAYOR I DID HEAR THAT AS WELL. >> THAT'S A GOOD REMINDER. I BELIEVE THE THE PARKING ISLANDS IS AN ELEMENT LANDSCAPING IS AN ELEMENT. STORMWATER IS AN ELEMENT. SCREENING IS AN ELEMENT. SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE ON THESE SITES BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN RUNNING BUSINESSES FOR THESE MANY YEARS. SO I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT EXTENT AND I'M CONFIDENT MIKE WOULD BE MORE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT TO WHAT EXTENT THERE WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGES TO COMPLY WITH BARE MINIMUMS BECAUSE REMEMBER OR AS A REMINDER RATHER A SUP ATTACHES TO THE LAND. SO IF THE OWNERSHIP CHANGES WHATEVER CONDITIONS YOU ATTACH IN THAT'S UP TRAVEL FROM THAT TO THE NEXT USER OR THE NEXT OWNER AS WELL. SO THE WAY THAT THEY'RE BEING OPERATED RIGHT NOW COULD BE YOU COULD KEEP FORWARD WHAT CONDITIONS AND ELEMENTS THAT YOU WANT MOVING FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE LEGALLY . SO THAT'S ON THAT COUNCIL COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IF IN THE EVENT THAT THE PROPERTY DOES CHANGE OWNERSHIP IN THE FUTURE THAT AT THAT POINT WE COULD ENFORCE EVERYTHING THAT WE DO WE MEAN IF IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN OTHERWISE WE COULD VOLUNTARILY ALLOW THE CURRENT OWNERSHIP TO DEVELOP AS YOU KNOW THEY'RE ABLE TO. BUT IN THE IN THE EVENT OF A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP WE SHOULD WE COULD DO EVERYTHING THAT WE THAT THE CITY AND THE MET COUNCIL HAD PLANNED FOR OVER 30 YEARS NOW ON DOING I GUESS THERE WILL BE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO ADD THAT LANGUAGE TO THE ORDINANCE SO THAT AT THAT POINT WE COULD ACTUALLY DEVELOP THE AREA THAT WAY THAT WE WOULD WANT TO I KNOW IT PUTS A HINDRANCE AND THE ABILITY FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO SELL THE PROPERTY BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE COVERING OUR OUR PLANS FOR THE AREA AT LEAST THAT'S MY POINT OF VIEW AND ANY OTHER THOUGHTS COUNCIL I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION JUST SO WE HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT HERE AND I'M GOING TO MAKE THE MOTION TO DIRECT STAFF AND AGAIN AGAIN THEY HAVE TO COME BACK AND WRITE THIS UP FOR US AND DO IT CORRECTLY BUT I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND MAKING THE REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING A PERMITTED USE AND I I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION THAT WE DIRECT STAFF TO COME BACK WITH THE THE HOTEL AND EXISTING STRUCTURE PARKING AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AND TO COME BACK WITH THE RECOMMENDED LANGUAGE TO MAKE REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING IN THE CX2 IN THE RH ZONING DISTRICT OF PERMITTED USE ST SO WE HAVE A MOTION IN THE SECOND TO TO MAKE THIS A PERMITTED USE. ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO JUST A QUICK CLEAR GOING QUESTION FOR YOU MR. MAYOR THAT PERMITTED USE TO COUNCIL REVERSES POINT DOES DOES THAT PERMITTED WHAT CAN YOU GIVE ME THE SPECIFICS IS THE PERMITTED USE FOR THOSE FOR THE PROPERTIES THE PERMITTED USE FOR THAT PARTICULAR TYPE OF ZONING DISTRICT LIKE WHAT ARE WHAT DO WE MEAN BY PERMITTED USE? EXCUSE ME I MERCHANT CAN YOU HELP ME BRING THAT UP? >> MAYOR MEMBERS TYPICALLY THE WAY YOU WOULD MAKE SOMETHING OF PERMITTED USE IS THAT YOU WOULD AMEND THE CHART OF USES THAT ARE ALLOWED FOR PARTICULAR ZONING DISTRICTS SO EVERYTHING IN H R X I CAN NEVER GET THESE LETTERS IN CORRECT ORDER H R WOULD HAVE A P IN THE BOX AND THIS PARTICULAR USE WOULD BE PERMITTED ON THESE THE ONLY TWO PROPERTIES IN THAT PARTICULAR ZONE RIGHT NOW MAY REMEMBER THE IMPLICATIONS OF IT POTENTIALLY AROUND THE CITY AND OTHER H. >> S R ZONES. MAYOR MEMBERS THAT'S CORRECT. WHAT WE WOULD THE WAY THAT YOU WOULD EFFECTUATE THAT GUIDANCE IS YOU WOULD CREATE ACTUALLY TWO SEPARATE AND DISTINCT USES, ONE OF WHICH WOULD BE AIRPORT PARKING FACILITIES IN OPERATION AS OF THE ADOPTION DATE VERSUS THIS NEW PARKING FACILITY AND EXISTING PARKING STRUCTURES WITHIN C X2 AND HSR. SO TO EFFECTUATE THIS GUIDANCE IT ACTUALLY WOULD NOT BE APPLICABLE TO THE C TWO ZONING DISTRICT JUST TO CLARIFY THE RECORD. THANK YOU. OKAY. OKAY. AND THOSE TWO THOSE TWO PARKING FACILITIES ARE THE ONLY TWO ITEMS CURRENTLY ZONED H X ARE IN THE CITY TODAY. MAYOR MEMBERS THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN AND THEN THE SECOND QUESTION IS THAT IS THAT PERMITTED USE I WOULD I WOULD ASSUME THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO I MEAN CERTAINLY THE RIGHT IS NOT THE RIGHT WORD SORRY THAT WOULD CARRY THAT THAT PERMITTED USE WOULD CARRY FORWARD ON CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP. CORRECT? CORRECT FOR MEMBERS? THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO MR. MAYOR, YOU DID NOT YOU DID NOT WANT TO I MEAN THIS WOULD BE IN PERPETUITY ON THOSE TWO AREAS WITHOUT WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO LIKE MAKE IF THERE'S A MATERIAL CHANGE MAKE ANY CHANGES UNLESS WE DECIDED TO REZONE IN THE FUTURE THAT THAT IS WHAT I INTENDED AND TO LET BASICALLY LET THE MARKET FOLLOW IF IF INPUT BECAME THE THING TO DO TO TO REDEVELOP THOSE SITES THEY WOULD REDEVELOP MERELY GOOD GOOD. CAN I ASK A POINT OF CLARIFICATION FOR THE RECORD PLEASE? SO A PERMITTED USE FOR THE TWO PROPERTIES IN HSR FOR LACK OF A BETTER DESCRIPTION PARKING GO IN PARKING FLY BUT DID THE MOTION INTEND TO KEEP THE LANGUAGE IN THE CODE OR EXCUSE ME IN THE ORDINANCE THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AS IT RELATES TO THE OTHER TWO TYPES OF PROPERTIES THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED OR ARE YOU IS THE MOTION TO MAKE EVERYTHING PERMITTED THE MOTION WAS INTENDED TO MAKE THE PARKING FLY IMPRACTICAL PERMITTED AND THEN THE OTHER TWO USES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT TO ALLOW THOSE BECAUSE THOSE AREN'T PERMITTED CURRENTLY AND SO TO TO PERMIT THOSE IN TERMS OF THE WAY WE'VE GOT THOSE LAID OUT IN THE IN THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE I THINK WHAT I WHAT I HAVE HEARD, MR. MAYOR, IS THE EXISTING REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FACILITIES WOULD BE PERMITTED BY RIGHT USES REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FACILITIES THAT ARE PROPOSED TO BE ESTABLISHED WOULD BE CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USES AND HOTEL AIRPORT PARKING WOULD BE PERMITTED ACCESSORY YES THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THIS. WE COUNCILMEMBER CARTER THANK YOU. YEAH YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO SIT DOWN BUT I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY AND I KNOW COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO JUST WENT THROUGH THIS BUT THIS THEN WOULD NOT IMPACT SIX TO COUNCIL MEMBERS. IT WOULD NOT BECAUSE THE THE TWO EXISTING REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FACILITIES ARE BOTH ZONED HSR OKAY THE C TWO DISTRICT APPLIES TO THE MALL OF AMERICA SO THAT WE HAVE TO CHANGE SOMETHING IN THAT CHART TO SIX TWO IF THE MALL OF AMERICA WERE TO ESTABLISH A NEW REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING FACILITY. OKAY. SO IS THERE RISK THAT THEN IF WE MAKE THIS CHANGE THERE MIGHT BE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO OPEN UP AIRPORT PARKING IN A IN HSR A GREAT QUESTION AND THE THE WAY THAT WE WOULD CRAFT THE ORDINANCE IT WOULD BE A VERY SMALL CHANCE THERE. THE OTHER DISTRICT IN THE SOUTH LOOP IS THE X DISTRICT YOU KNOW THE I BELIEVE THE 28TH AVENUE PARKING STRUCTURE THAT THAT COUNCIL OWNS IS LAX. WE HAVE NOT INCLUDED THAT AS A POTENTIAL DISTRICT. OKAY. AND THEN ALSO AGAIN, THIS WHOLE ESTABLISHED BEFORE THE ADOPTION ADOPTION DATE OR ANY NEW THAT DISTINCTION ALLOWS US TO NARROW NARROWLY TAILORED SO WE DON'T BELIEVE FUNCTIONALLY WE DON'T BELIEVE THERE WOULD BE AN OPTION TO HAVE ANY REMOTE EVER PARKING FACILITIES THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A WHILE NOW. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER NELSON IF THANK YOU. AND SO THIS WOULDN'T ADDRESS ANY OF THE CONCERNS THAT THEY RAISED WITH REGARDS TO THAT'S H S R AND THE FLEXIBILITY OF WHAT TYPES OF PROJECTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT THEY COULD DO. IS THAT ACCURATE? THIS WOULD LEAVE THE EXISTING RESTRICTIONS ON THAT DISTRICT IN PLACE. YEAH COUNCILMEMBERS THAT WOULD BE AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE LONG RANGE PLANNING PROJECT TO LOOK AT THE HSR DISTRICT AND TO DELIBERATE ON WHAT THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGED WITH AGE X OUR DISTRICT . ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? ARE WE CLEAR ENOUGH TO MOVE TO A VOTE ON THIS? ALL RIGHT. NO FURTHER AND WE WILL WE HAVE THE MOTION IN THE SECOND TURN. MY MY GUN. I WAS EXPLAINED THAT I'LL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WAS HOPING TO BRING THE PARTIES TOGETHER TO FIND A SOLUTION TO BOTH SIDES CONCERNS. I THINK THIS DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB OF RESOLVING THE CONCERNS OF THE EXISTING OPERATORS. I DON'T THINK IT RESOLVES THE CONCERNS OF THE CITY OR THE INCENTIVES TO FIND A WAY TO MEET THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS FOR THE AREA AND I'M TRYING TO HONESTLY SINCERELY DO THAT IN A WAY THAT MEETS BOTH SIDES GOALS. THIS IS IN MY OPINION VERY ONE SIDED. THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER FOR THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS TO PRIYANKA D'ALESSANDRO FOR ME CARTER NAME MUA I NELSON RIVAS MAYOR BASI I MOTION FAILS 2 TO 4 AND SO NOW WE'RE BACK TO WHERE WE WERE . SO MR. MAYOR THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN OFFER IS WHAT I SUGGESTED AND I UNDERSTAND I HEAR NOW THAT MAKING IT A A A A EXTENDING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE MORATORIUM LIFTED. SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT THAT. I DON'T LIKE KICKING THIS DOWN THE ROAD EITHER I JUST DON'T LIKE CREATING A PERMITTED USE ON ON A PROPERTY THAT HAS FOR 30 YEARS BEEN CLEARLY ESTABLISHED TO BE A TEMPORARY USE NOW YES THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE LET A TEMPORARY WE AS IN CITY OF TO NOT WE AS CURRENT COUNCIL MAYBE LET THE CITY OF THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON LET THE TEMPORARY USE BECOME YOU KNOW A GENERATIONAL USE WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF A TEMPORARY USE HOW DO WE CLEAN THAT UP AND THEN CONTINUE TO HOLD TRUE TO THE STANDARD WE WANT FOR THAT DISTRICT IN THAT IT IS NOT OUR INTENTION THAT WE HAVE TWO MASSIVE PARKING LOTS SITTING THERE IN PERPETUITY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT BUT BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THAT IS THE CITY'S GOAL IS TO IS TO GET TO A POINT WHERE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN PROPOSING ALL ALONG IS THAT THAT LAND BE DEVELOPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN THE SOUTH OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN WHICH IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE WHICH EVERYBODY CAN SEE AND EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS AND EVERYTHING WE PROPOSED AND APPROVED IN THE LAST AT LEAST MY TIME ON COUNCIL IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT GOAL. SO I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DO ABOUT THAT BUT HOW HOW DO WE FIND A WAY TO TO ENABLE THAT WITHOUT I MEAN I SAID ANOTHER WAY I WOULD I WOULD PROBABLY VOTED FOR THIS PERMITTED USE IF IT MEANT THAT IT COULDN'T SURVIVE THE CURRENT OWNERS ONLY BECAUSE AT LEAST WE HAVE A TIMELINE AND WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO START OVER SO BECAUSE IF THE CURRENT OWNERS AREN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT IN THEIR OWN TIMELINE AND WITH THEIR OWN POCKETS AND RULES I GET THAT. I UNDERSTAND IT. IT'S THE RIGHT OF A PROPERTY OWNER. BUT I YOU KNOW, WE ALSO WANT TO PROTECT THE CITY'S CAPACITY TO MAKE CHANGE WHICH IS WHAT WE DO THROUGH THESE TYPES OF THINGS IS THERE ANY IS THERE ANY TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX THAT ALLOWS FOR THIS TO BE SOMETHING WE AREN'T TAKING DOWN THE ROAD MEANING WE MAKE A DECISION TONIGHT BUT IT HAS A TIME IT HAS A TIMELINE ON CHANGING OWNERSHIP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT'S A TRIGGERING FOR US TO BE ABLE TO REVISIT THIS. MAY I AS AN ADVOCATE FOR THE ORDINANCE THAT I WROTE A STAFF WE FELT WERE WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS THE COMPROMISE BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE TIME LIKE THE PROCESS AND THE HOW WE APPROACH ALL AIRPORT PARKING UNTIL THE CONCLUSION OF THE STUDY THE CITY HAS ADOPTED A POLICY APPROACH WAS THAT 0% OF THE REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING WOULD REMAIN EVENTUALLY IT WOULD GO AWAY OVER TIME. WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS 75% COULD REMAIN IN PERPETUITY. THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO CREATE A REDEVELOPED AND OPPORTUNITY THAT WOULD HELP FURTHER THE PLANS THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED. SO WE FEEL LIKE THAT IS A COMPROMISE BECAUSE OVER THE COURSE OF OVER 30 YEARS AND I HAD THE BENEFIT OR MISFORTUNE HOWEVER YOU WANT TO FRAME IT OF READING THE MINUTES FROM MEETING AFTER MEETING AFTER MEETING AND WE'RE HEARING VERY SIMILAR ARGUMENTS WE JUST NEED MORE TIME. THE MARKET IS GOING TO REDEVELOP THIS. WE HAVE WE'RE WE'RE OPERATING IN GOOD FAITH. THE MARKET IS GOING TO REDEVELOP THIS AND THE MARKET HAS SHOWN THAT THERE IS NO INCENTIVE TO REDEVELOP IT FROM REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING. SO WE FEEL THIS IS A COMPROMISE. CAN I CAN I ADD THAT IF THE COUNCIL WANTS US TO BRING BAC THE PROPOSAL THAT WAS SEEMED TO BE HAVE SOME GERAL SUPPORT FROM THE BODY TO EXTEND CREATE A PATHWAY TO SEEK AN INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR TWO ADDITIONAL YEARS THAT IS DIRECTION THAT WE CAN BRING BACK TO YOU AT THE SUBSEQUENT MEETING. IT WOULD MEAN MAKING THE EXISTING AIRPORT PARKING FACILITIES AN INTERIM USE AND THEY ARE ZONING DISTRICT. CLEARLY THE APPLICANT HAS HEARD YOU IN TERMS OF THE TIMELINE OR DURATION THAT YOU THINK IS APPROPRIATE. WE CAN EFFECTUATE THAT DIRECTION AS WELL. I THINK BASED ON THE DISCUSSION SO SO BASED ON WHAT WAS JUST SAID THERE AND THIS IS TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS AGAIN SETTING ASIDE THE HOTEL PARKING AND THE EXISTING PARKING I MEAN THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER AND THEN NICK, AS YOU SAID TO TO TO LAY IT OUT IN SUCH A WAY THAT LIVED A MORATORIUM EXTENDED THE INTERIM USE FOR UP TO TWO YEARS FOR TWO YEARS AND THEN TRY TO ENCOUNTER IT. REMEMBER NELSON'S WORDS TRY AND FIGURE OUT A PATH FORWARD ON THIS SO KICK THE CAN BUT NOT SO FAR DOWN THE ROAD THAT WE CAN'T SEE IT ANYMORE. BUT JUST TO THE COUPLE OF YEAR MARK MS. MADSEN MAYOR MEMBERS, I THINK WHAT YOU'VE HEARD FROM PLANNING STAFF IS THAT THEY CAN VISUALIZE A A A WAY OF CODIFYING THE DISCUSSION THAT YOU'VE HAD WITH REGARD TO IEPS. BUT I WOULD JUST REMIND YOU THAT IN AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS TESTIMONY HAS BEEN DELIVERED PREVIOUSLY IN WRITING AND OTHERWISE THAT THE IEP PROCESS HAS ITS CHALLENGES AND UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGES IN THE WORLD OR IN THE ENVIRONMENT IT IS WHAT IT IS IS TEMPORARY. IT IS FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM SORT OF A PLACEHOLDER. UM THE OTHER THING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THE THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE THOSE MILESTONES AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE IEP IS RELATED TO THE WILLINGNESS OF THE COUNCIL IN TWO YEARS TO ENFORCE THOSE MILESTONES. SO JUST TO BE MINDFUL OF THE TOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE COUNCIL ARE HAVE THEIR OWN SET OF CHALLENGES AS WELL THAT'S COUNCIL COUNCILMEMBER NELSON IF THANK YOU. I WOULD SUPPORT THAT DIRECTION AND I'LL JUST SAY THIS I ACTUALLY THINK WE'RE CLOSER THAN THAN WE ALL THINK. I THINK THERE THE STAFF PROPOSAL THE COMPROMISE I THINK IS IS LEGITIMATELY A COMPROMISE FROM WHERE WE'RE MAYBE THE DIRECTION HAD BEEN AND WHERE I THINK IN MY MIND THE REALITY IS IS I MEAN THIS WAS ALWAYS TEMPORARY AND YOU KNOW, WE SIGN A LEASE ON A BUILDING THERE IS NO GUARANTEE, YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THAT THAT YOU GET TO RENEW THAT EVEN IF YOU WANT TO . AND YOU KNOW, WE WE HAD AN AGREEMENT THAT IT WAS TEMPORARY BUT I THINK WE'RE CLOSE. I THINK IF WE CAN INCORPORATE SOME THINGS WITH THE DEVELOPERS THAT WILL HELP THEM ACTUALLY BRING THOSE PROJECTS FORWARD, I THINK WE MAY SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MARKET. WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE AN INTEREST RATE CUT HERE SHORTLY NOT TONIGHT BUT NOT BY US BUT YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE SOME THINGS THAT MAYBE HELP SOME OF THOSE EXISTING IDEAS MOVE FORWARD AND THAT'S JUST WHAT I WANT TO SEE AND I JUST DON'T THINK WE'RE THERE TODAY. BUT I DO THINK THAT EVERYONE IS GOING THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND WE'RE WE'RE UP AGAINST A DEADLINE HERE AND I APPRECIATE MR. JOHNSON'S RECOMMENDATION TO KIND OF FIND A WAY TO EXTEND THAT. I WOULD HOPE IT'S NOT TWO YEARS. I WOULD HOPE IT'S SIX MONTHS AND WE KIND OF RESOLVE JUST TWEAKING SOME OF THE THE PARAMETERS OF THE EXISTING COMPROMISE SO DO WE HAVE A FORMAL MOTION ON THAT? I CAN TRY TO SAY SOMETHING THAT MISMANAGE I CAN PULL TOGETHER I GUESS SO WE WANT TO DIRECT STAFF TO BRING BACK AN ORDINANCE THAT DOES THE FOLLOWING. FIRST OFF BRINGS BACK THE PROPOSED REMOTE AIRPORT PARKING AS A NEW USE IN AN EXISTING FACILITY PIECE AS WRITTEN THE HOTEL AIRPORT PARKING USED TO FACILITATE AN ORDINANCE PIECE THAT IS AS WRITTEN TODAY AND THEN TO ALSO BRING BACK A LIFT ON THE MORATORIUM AN EXTENSION OF THE SORRY AND I GUESS THE ACCEPTANCE OF AN INTERIM USE PERMIT IF THEY APPLY FOR IT FROM THE FOLKS THAT NOW HAVE AN EXPIRED ONE NOT TO EXCEED 2027 WHICH IS WHEN THE OTHER ONE AUTOMATICALLY ENDS ANYWAY. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT THAT INTO LIKE LEGAL TERMS BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE JUST SAID RIGHT? WE WANT WE WANT THE HOTEL THING AND THE EXISTING PARKING RAMPS GETTING A NEW THING PIECE. WE WANT THOSE TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL AS THEY'RE WRITTEN TONIGHT AND WE WANT TO LIFT THE MORATORIUM AND ALIGN IF POSSIBLE THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR THE PARKING GO. FOLKS, I THINK YOU ARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE RIGHT NOW TO ALIGN WITH THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE ONE THAT THE OTHER FOLKS CURRENTLY HAVE SO THAT WE HAVE THAT TWO YEAR GAP IT'S LINED UP IN OUR DECISION AT THE END OF THAT IS EITHER THAT WE'VE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION OR THAT THAT TEMPORARY USE IS NOW REVOKED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE THAT'S WHAT IT IS. TO YOUR POINT JUST BECAUSE THERE'S A LEASE AND THE LEASE EXPIRES DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO RENEW IT. THAT'S WHAT WE THAT'S WHAT WE DO. SO WE PUT OURSELVES ON THE CLOCK AND THERE'S RESOLUTION AT THE END. ONE OF THEM COULD BE THAT WE REVOKE THE USE. THE OTHER ONE COULD BE THAT WE'VE COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY LOVES OR CAN COMPROMISE AND CAN LIVE WITH WHATEVER THAT WORDS ARE THAT YOU WANT. BUT THAT'S I THINK THE DIRECTION THAT I WAS PROPOSING BEFORE. I THINK I DON'T KNOW COUNCILMEMBER NELSON THAT ARTICULATES WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING AS WELL AS ME AND I WANT IT DONE FASTER BUT I WAS ONLY LINING THAT UP TO TO MATCH WITH THE 2027 EXPIRATION OF THE ONE THAT'S CURRENTLY IN FLIGHT IT WAS MANDATED MAY REMEMBER IS ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION WITH REGARD TO REMOVING THE MORATORIUM. FUNCTIONALLY SPEAKING THE MORATORIUM EXPIRES OCTOBER 10TH IF YOU DIRECT STAFF TO BRING IN ORDINANCE BACK TO FOR FOR ACTION ON SEPTEMBER 29TH WE'LL SEND IT TO THE PAPER ON OCTOBER 2ND. IT'LL PUBLISH OCTOBER 9TH WHICH IS YEAH WE DON'T THE MORATORIUM WILL END AND WILL REMOVED FROM THE CODE AS A PART OF THE ORDINANCE IT IT WILL HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY BY FUNCTION OF OF THE EXPIRATION OF IT SO I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT SO THAT THERE WASN'T ANY UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHAT FUNCTIONALLY IS HAPPENING THERE. THE TIMING OF IT IS ONE DAY BUT CLEAR ON THAT . SO I THINK WHAT COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO SAID AND WAS EMOTION MORE OR LESS DO WE HAVE A SECOND SECOND MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER CARTER AND THE MOTION AND SECOND REFLECT WHAT COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO SAID AND AND I'D BE HAPPY TO SUMMARIZE HOTEL ACCESSORY UH, PERMITTED ACCESSORIES FOR THE HOTELS UH ,COPIERS FOR EXISTING RAMPS WITH EXCESS CAPACITY AND AN UP UH FOR EACH X HOUR ZONE WITH AN EXPIRATION OF 2027 AND PRETTY CLEAR ON THAT NO NO LONGER NO LONGER THAN 2027 FOR THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION. PRIYANKA D'ALESSANDRO ALL RIGHT, WE GOT A SECOND. WE GOT A TERRIBLE CARTER I MUA NO NELSON RIVAS MAYOR BASI I MOTION CARRIES UH 55424242 MOTION CARRIES FOUR TWO BUT DON'T WE DON'T HAVE WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE REPUBLICATION ON THOSE SO THERE WOULD BE NO SUMMARY. MM ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. STAFF THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. UH, THANK YOU. THANKS TO ALL WHO ARE HERE AND WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON I'M SURE. COUNSEL WE GOT A MINUTE TO SPARE HERE AND IF WE'RE GOING TO FINISH OUR BUSINESS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EXTEND TO AT LEAST 945. SO I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO EXTEND OUR DEADLINE UNTIL 945 THIS EVENING SAYING MOTION AND A SECOND TO EXTEND TO 945. NO COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS PRIYANKA D'ALESSANDRO I CARTER I MUA I NELSON RIVAS MAYOR BASI I NOW COUNCIL I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND TONIGHT'S AGENDA AND WE CAN PUT OFF ITEM 5.3 THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS DISCUSSION THIS EVENING I WOULD MOVE THAT WE AMEND TONIGHT'S AGENDA TO DROP ITEM 5.3 FROM THE AGENDA TONIGHT SECOND MOTION AND A SECOND TO DROP ITEM 5.3 WHICH FROM THE AGENDA NOW COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THIS PARKER D'ALESSANDRO I CARTER I MUA I NELSON RIVAS MAYOR BASI I MOTION CARRIES WE ARE DOWN TO JUST A HANDFUL OF ITEMS AND ITEM 5.1 THIS IS A STUDY ITEM REGARDING PARKING RAMP LICENSURE PROGRAM DISCUSSION. BERNADETTE GILLESPIE GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME THAT EVENING I USE THIS BEFORE YOU PRESENT I PROMISE I WON'T TAKE AS LONG AS THAT. >> SO GOOD EVENING MARIN COUNCIL I'M HERE THIS EVENING TO PRESENT AND HAVE DISCUSSION REGARDING THE PROPOSED PARKING RAMP LICENSURE PROGRAM PART OF THE PRESENTATION I WILL GO OVER THE REASONING FOR THE PROPOSAL SOME KEY FACTS FREQUENT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND WHAT STAFF HAS COMPLETED FOR ENGAGEMENT WITH THOSE AFFECTED BY THIS PROPOSAL. SO AN OVERVIEW AND REASONING FOR THE NEW PARKING RAMP ORDINANCE. THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON HAS 179 PARKING RAMPS WITHIN ITS BOUNDARIES 96% OF THOSE ARE 20 PLUS YEARS OLD, 54% ARE 40 PLUS YEARS OLD. SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY ON THOSE AGING AND UNDER MAINTAIN RAMPS AS PART OF THAT PROPOSAL FOR THE LICENSURE IS THE BIANNUAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THIRD PARTY INSPECTIONS AND WITHIN THAT IF DEFICIENCIES ARE FOUND THE OWNERS WILL HAVE AN ALLOTTED AMOUNT OF TIME PER THAT REPORT FROM THE ENGINEER TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES. SO HERE'S SOME DATA SHOWING JUST DIFFERENT TYPES OF PARKING RAMPS ON THE LEFT HERE IN BLUE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE COMMERCIAL AND MULTIFAMILY PARKING RAMPS BY TEN YEAR INCREMENTS ON THE RIGHT AND THE ORANGE CONDO PARKING RAMPS BY TEN YEAR INCREMENTS. SO AS YOU COULD SEE THAT PRE 1985 NUMBER IS QUITE LARGE SOME EXAMPLES OF RAMP DISREPAIR. SO SHOWING IN THESE PHOTOS YOU'RE SEEING SOME TEMPORARY SHORING IN AN EXISTING PARKING RAMP. REDUCTION OF PARKING WITHIN THAT RAMP BECAUSE OF DEBRIS THAT WAS FALLING ON VEHICLES AND I WILL SAY IN THAT SENSE THESE PHOTOS HAVE BEEN TAKEN THAT SPECIFIC RAMP HAS NOW BEEN PERMITTED AND IS CURRENTLY UNDER REPAIR AND BEING INSPECTED. HOWEVER, OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS MULTIPLE RAMPS AND DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN DISREPAIR WITH RESIDENTS AND USERS SUBMITTING COMPLAINTS. SO THESE RECURRING CONCERNS HAVE BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO GREATER ATTENTION TO OUR DIVISION HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR AN ORDINANCE TO ADDRESS THE LACK OF CONSISTENT MAINTENANCE OF THESE RAMPS. AN OVERVIEW OF THE LICENSURE PROGRAM DESIGN SO THIS WILL BE A BI ANNUAL EVERY TWO YEAR LICENSE A THIRD PARTY INSPECTION THAT IS CREATED BY A MINNESOTA STATE LICENSED ENGINEER. ONCE THEY GO OUT AND DO A SITE VISIT AND CREATE A REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE CITY THAT WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE BUILDING OR THE BUILDING AND INSPECTIONS DIVISION WITHIN THAT LICENSE IT WOULD BE $175 TO COVER CITY ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES AND THEN ONCE THAT REPORT IS REVIEWED, IF MAINTENANCE CONCERNS ARE PRESENT AND THE OWNER IS NOT COMPLYING WITH THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE BUILDING AND INSPECTIONS DIVISION WILL INSPECT AND ENFORCEMENT ACTION CAN BE TAKEN AT THAT TIME. ADDITIONALLY, LICENSE MAY BE ISSUED WITH CONDITIONS OF ISSUANCE IN THE CASE OF IMMEDIATE REPAIRS BEING NEEDED FOR THOSE RAMPS. SO DURING THE ENGAGEMENT PROCESS WE HAD SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP AND SO I'M PRESENTING THOSE TONIGHT. WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE PROGRAMS LIKE THIS? THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL, DIANA ST LOUIS PARK AND DULUTH. WHAT TYPES OF RAMPS OR STRUCTURES WITH THIS INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE SO THAT THE DEFINITION THAT IS PROPOSED IN THE DRAFT THAT WAS ATTACHED TONIGHT TO THE AGENDA IS A PARKING RAMP IS A BUILDING GARAGE OR STRUCTURE OR PART THEREOF IN WHICH A STRUCTURAL LEVEL OTHER THAN A SLAB ON GRADE IS USED FOR PARKING STORAGE OR MAINTENANCE OF MOTOR VEHICLES. AND I HAVE A FEW EXAMPLES ON ANOTHER SLIDE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IS NOT SUPER CLEAR WHAT OUTCOMES CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THIS NEW LICENSE REQUIREMENT. SO THIS PROCESS WOULD ENSURE PERMITTING AND INSPECTIONS OCCUR ON WORK THAT IS BEING PERFORMED ON THESE RAMPS. BUILDING INSPECTIONS WILL BE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES ON THESE EXISTING PARKING STRUCTURES AND WILL BE ABLE TO BETTER MONITOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THESE FOR LIFE SAFETY PURPOSES AND ALIGNMENT WITH THE MINNESOTA STATE BUILDING CODE. SO AS STATED THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PARKING RAMPS. WE HAVE AN ABOVE GROUND PARKING RAMP SHOWN IN PICTURE ONE AN UNDERGROUND PARKING RAMP SHOWN IN PICTURE TWO AND THEN THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE SLAB ON GRADE TYPE RAMP. SO RAMPS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO SUSTAINED SNOW BUILD UP THEY REQUIRE THE USE OF LARGE SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT, ICE DEICING SALTS THINGS OF THAT NATURE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE LICENSED UNDER THIS ORDINANCE AND THEN THE UNDERGROUND SLAB ON GRADE GARAGES WHICH ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THOSE SAME LEV OF WEATHER EXPOSURE OR SNOW REMOVAL METHODS ETC. WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM THAT REQUIREMENT. OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT. SO WE DID POST A LET'S TALK PAGE BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 2025 AS WELL AS SENDING A LETTER TO THE RAMP OWNERS APRIL OF 25. A BRIEFING ARTICLE WAS ALSO POSTED IN APRIL OF 2025 AND DUE TO THAT OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT THE BUILDING OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION OF MINNEAPOLIS REQUESTED A MEETING SO WE DID HOLD A VIRTUAL MEETING WITH THOSE STAKEHOLDERS IN JUNE AND THERE'S ONGOING COMMUNICATIONS ON PROBABLY A BI WEEKLY BASIS WITH THOSE STAKEHOLDERS REGARDING THE THE PROGRESS OF THE RAMP PROPOSAL AND NEXT STEPS. SO IF COUNC IS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ORDINANCE AT A FUTURE MEETING WE WOULD NEED TO SET UP A NEW LICENSE TYPE SO SOME OF THAT ADMIN TIME IN OUR CITY SOFTWARE SYSTEM AND THEN INFORMING THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD GO INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1ST OF 2026 OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DIRECTION OR GUIDANCE REGARDING THIS ORDINANCE. AND WITH THAT I WILL STAND FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MUCH AND THANKS FOR STICKING WITH US TONIGHT. APPRECIATE IT. COUNSEL CONVERSATION ON THIS I THINK THIS THIS IS THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE AND IS PROBABLY LONG OVERDUE AFTER BEING IN THAT RANT THAT WAS FEATURED IN ONE OF THE FIRST PICTURES THAT I EVEN THOUGHT FIVE PLUS YEARS AGO THAT THIS WAS LONG OVERDUE. SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY MOVING FORWARD ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. >> COUNCILMEMBER QUESTION BEEMER YEP, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU ESPECIALLY AFTER DEALING WITH THE THE SITUATION AT THE HEIGHTS CONDO. MY QUESTION THOUGH IS AND MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS IS WE IMPLEMENT THIS AND WHAT HAPPENS WHAT DO WE ANTICIPATE THE FINDINGS TO BE? >> BECAUSE MY CONCERN IS WE'RE GOING TO GET TO A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT CONDO UNITS TO HOW PARKING UNITS AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE EXTREMELY IN BAD CONDITION AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FLOOD OF ASKS FROM THE CITY TO SUPPORT THEM BECAUSE FOR WHATEVER REASON THE HOA MISMANAGED FUNDS. THE COST OF IT IS TOO HIGH FOR THE RESIDENTS TO LIVE THERE TO BEAR. HOW MUCH CAN THE CITY HANDLE IF THAT IS THE SITUATION THAT OCCURS? MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER, I DO UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN. AGAIN IN LIFE SAFETY IS THE CONCERN OF OUR DIVISION AND SO ULTIMATELY WE NEED TO KNOW IF THERE'S STRUCTURES THAT ARE IN THAT STATE OF DISREPAIR BECAUSE IT COULD BE POTENTIAL RISK TO LIVES IN THOSE BUILDINGS. AND SO I THINK THAT IS MORE OF MAYBE A POLICY DECISION BASED ON PREVIOUS ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL. SO BUILDING AND INSPECTIONS YOU KNOW, WE GO OUT AND WE DO INSPECTIONS AND WE REVIEW STRUCTURAL ENGINEER REPORTS AND WE WORK BASED OFF OF THEM AND ASSOCIATE BUILDING CODE AND OWNERS ARE AT THIS TIME REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THEIR BUILDINGS AS PART OF THE MINNESOTA STATE BUILDING CODE. SO NOW IT WOULD JUST BE GETTING EYES ON THOSE PROPERTIES AND BEING ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE SAFE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS, THE ORDINANCE EXEMPTS RAMPS LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD. WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE OF THOSE SHOWS DETERIORATION OR PREMATURE DETERIORATION IF YOU MIGHT CALL IT THAT? >> YES. SO A RAMPS THAT ARE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS BECAUSE THE THE PROBABILITY OF THOSE RAMPS HAVING ISSUES THAT ARE DUE TO THE SNOW REMOVAL EXPANSION AND ICE ALL OF THOSE THINGS IS VERY LOW. I'VE LOOKED AT AND WE'VE INSPECTED MANY OF THE NEWER RAMPS THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT IN IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND WE WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES OR COMPLAINTS OR SEEN ANYTHING WITH THOSE RAMPS. SO I DON'T BELIEVE WE WOULD HAVE I CAN ALMOST SAY WE WOULD HAVE ZERO ISSUES WITH THE RAMPS THAT ARE LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD. SO I DO HAVE NO QUESTION NOW THE $125 LICENSE FEE IS INTENDED TO COVER STAFF TIME FOR PROCESSING REVIEWS. RIGHT. SO HAS THE STAFF CALCULATED WHAT THE INCOME WOULD BE FROM THOSE FEES GIVEN THE FACT THAT YOU JUST TO UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE IS $10,000 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS? YES. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS SO WE ARE BASING THE $175 FEE BASED OFF OF JUST THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FOR THE LICENSE AT THE TIME WE HAVE HAD MONEY SET ASIDE FOR OUR SOFTWARE SYSTEM WITH DIFFERENT UPGRADES. WE DO DIFFERENT UPGRADES FOR OUR SOFTWARE SYSTEM AND SO THAT'S KIND OF MONEY THAT WE'VE HAD SET ASIDE AND WE MOVED THAT FORWARD THIS YEAR KNOWING THAT WE WOULD BE PROPOSING THIS PARKING RAMP ORDINANCE. SO THE $175 WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE TO REPLENISH THAT $10,000 FOR THE SOFTWARE BUT IT WOULD BE REALLY FOR THE STAFF TIME OF THE PERSON WHO'S TAKING IN THAT LICENSE APPLICATION CONTACTING THE APPLICANT IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE NOT BEING SUBMITTED APPROPRIATELY GAINING GETTING THE FEE FROM THEM AND THEN BEING ABLE TO DO FOLLOW UP ON ANY INSPECTIONS, THE INSPECTION REPORTS THAT ARE SUBMITTED. RIGHT. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO. OH OH YOUR MUTED. >> I PUT DOWN MY HAND AND FORGOT TO HIT THE MUTE BUTTON. SORRY ABOUT THAT. THE FOLLOW UP TO COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS THIS QUESTION WHEN WE SAY WE EXEMPT THEM FOR THE FIRST FOR A FACT LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD IT'S IT'S THAT THE WE EXEMPT THEM FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS CORRECT BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THAT ONCE THEY'RE SIX OR 10 OR 12 YEARS OLD WE DO WANT TO INSPECT THEM. IS THAT TRUE? >> YES. YES. OKAY. SORRY. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO. >> YES, THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY. SO SO WE'RE NOT EXEMPTING WE'RE NOT EXEMPTING THEM FROM INSPECTION. WE'RE JUST SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO INSPECT YOU FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS. CORRECT. >> AND THEN WHAT IS THE AND THEN WHAT IS THE CADENCE OF INSPECTION GOING FORWARD THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING A MEMBER DALLESSANDRO THAT WOULD BE A BI ANNUAL INSPECTION SO EVERY TWO YEARS EVERY TWO YEARS IS THAT EVERY YEAR IS THAT THE THE EXPECTATION IS EVERY EVERY RAMP EVERY TWO YEARS? YES. THAT IS THE EXPECTATION WITH THE KNOWLEDGE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT EXISTING THAT EXISTING REPORT WOULD ONLY BE TWO YEARS OLD AND SO THAT STRUCTURAL ENGINEER WOULD THEN GO OUT TO LOOK AT THE HIGHER LEVEL ISSUES ON THAT RAMP. >> UNDERSTOOD. SO BASICALLY LOOKING AT THE DELTA BETWEEN WHAT THEY SAW TWO YEARS AGO AND WHAT THEY MIGHT SEE. CORRECT. OKAY. THANKS. COUNCIL ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON THIS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANKS FOR STICKING IT OUT WITH US TONIGHT. AND SO YOUR NEXT STEPS THAT YOU OUTLINE THERE WE'LL WE'LL LOOK FOR ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION ON THIS. SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. GOOD. THANK YOU. AND IN 5.2 TONIGHT, ANOTHER STUDY I DID IN THIS ON SMALL BUSINESS CODES AND PROCESSES PHASE TWO REFUGE STANDARDS DAKOTA KASTEN THE AGREEMENT. ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF HERE AND JUST GIVE YOU SOME A QUICK PROJECT BACKGROUND GO THROUGH EXISTING STANDARDS AS THEY RELATE TO REFUSE OR TRASH AND RECYCLING FACILITIES. LAY OUT TO POLICY OPTIONS FROM STAFF AND THEN WE JUST HAVE A FEW GUIDING QUESTIONS. SO THIS IS ONE OF SIX TOPICS A PART OF OUR SMALL BUSINESS CODES AND PROCESSES PROJECT. THE GOAL OF THAT PROJECT IS TO LOWER BARRIERS FOR SMALL BUSINESS, A SMALL BUSINESS FORMATION AND THEN ENCOURAGE AND MAINTAIN THEIR OPERATIONS OUR EXISTING FACILITIES FOR REFUSE AND RECYCLING FACILITIES THAT THEY MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING, THAT THEY MUST BE INTERNALLY ACCESSIBLE FROM THE BUILDING. THERE'S A COUPLE OF WAIVERS WE HAVE IN THE CODE THAT PEOPLE CAN KIND OF WAIVE THAT REQUIREMENT AND THEN FINALLY THAT THERE'S ADDITIONAL FINISHES REQUIRED FOR THE TRASH ROOM FOR ANY FOOD OR GROCERY STORE USES. AND SO THAT'S KIND OF ILLUSTRATED IN IN A TYPICAL EXAMPLE THAT YOU SEE IN BLOOMINGTON THERE ON THE KIND OF A FAST FOOD COMMERCIAL BUILDING IN THAT RED BOX TAB KIND OF HAVE THAT ATTACHED INTERIOR TRASH ROOM MUCH AND SO WE STAFF WAS PROPOSING KIND OF TWO OPTIONS AND KIND OF UNDER THE GUISE OF BEING MORE FLEXIBLE AND COST EFFECTIVE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES . SO THE FIRST OPTION IS TO OFFER FLEXIBILITY FOR CERTAIN RE-USE OF NONRESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. SO IN CONCEPT A IT WOULD ALLOW FOR A DETACHED TRASH ENCLOSURE IN A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. SO MAINLY THAT IF THERE IS A CHANGE OF USE OR A NEW BUSINESS OCCUPYING AN EXISTING TENANT SPACE THAT DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE THAT INTERIOR OR DOESN'T MEET OUR CURRENT INTERIOR ROOM STANDARD AND THEN FOR SMALL ADDITIONS AND IN THIS CASE WE DEFINE THAT AS 25% OR LESS OF AN INCREASE IN THE FLOOR AREA TO EXISTING BUILDINGS. AND THEN WE ALSO HAD FOR ANY INDUSTRIAL USE WHETHER IT WAS NEW CONSTRUCTION OR REUSE TO ALLOW DETACHED FACILITIES. I THINK JUST GIVEN KIND OF THE NATURE AND INTENT OF THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT WE ALLOW EXTERIOR STORAGE THAT'S SCREENED OUT OF THE SOME KIND OF TRASH ENCLOSURE ISN'T ALL THAT DIFFERENT AND KIND OF THE NATURE OF BEING IN AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND PART OF THE RATIONALE BEHIND THAT AGAIN IS I THINK WHERE WE RUN INTO SOME CHALLENGES ARE FOR BUSINESSES WANTING TO RETROFIT EXISTING SPACES IN BLOOMINGTON . THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF A RECENT CASE OF AN OFFICE BUILDING. SOMEONE WANTS TO USE IT FOR A DAY CARE FACILITY. THEY PROPOSED A DETACHED TRASH ENCLOSURE NEXT TO THE BUILDING WITH A ROOF AND SCREENING HAD MATERIALS THAT MATCH THE BUILDING. HOWEVER, OUR CODE DOES THAT THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY ALLOWED IN CODE AND SO WHAT THEY HAD TO BUILD WAS THAT ENCLOSED ROOM THAT YOU SEE THERE THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE BUILDING. THEY GOT THEIR INTERIOR ACCESS WAIVED BUT IT DID REQUIRE VENTILATION OR SOME ADDITIONAL THINGS BECAUSE IT'S AN ENCLOSED ROOM, SOME OF THE I GUESS THE BENEFITS OF THIS OPTION AGAIN ARE JUST TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE AND HAVE A COST EFFECTIVE OPTION FOR PEOPLE WANTING TO REUSE EXISTING BUILDINGS IN THE CITY AND IT LEAVES ARE MORE STRINGENT STANDARDS AROUND THIS INTERIOR ACCESS AND ROOM FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION MAJOR RECONSTRUCTION WHERE THEY HAVE MORE OF THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY TO MAKE THAT KIND OF INVESTMENT AND A DISADVANTAGE WOULD BE A POLICY LIKE THIS WHETHER IT'S THE 25% THRESHOLD OR ANOTHER NUMBER I GUESS COULD DISINCENTIVIZE PEOPLE FROM MAKING A LARGER INVESTMENT IN THEIR PROPERTY TO AVOID HAVING TO DO THAT INTERIOR TRASH ROOM REQUIREMENT. SO JUST SOMETHING TO KIND OF CONSIDER AND THEN OPTION B THIS CONCEPT WOULD ALLOW DETACHED REFUSING FACILITIES FOR ALL NONRESIDENTIAL USES REGARDLESS OF ITS NEW CONSTRUCTION OR RE-USE OF AN EXISTING BUILDING. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COMMERCIAL OFFICE FOOD SERVICE AND INDUSTRIAL USES. WE INTENTIONALLY LEFT OUT RESIDENTIAL AND MULTIFAMILY JUST BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY STANDARD WITH MOST NEW APARTMENT BUILDINGS HAVE SOME KIND OF GARAGE STRUCTURE OR UNDERGROUND PARKING IT'S REALLY EASY FOR THEM TO BUILD THE INTERIOR TRASH ROOM IS JUST KIND OF STANDARD THAT YOU HAVE LIKE A TRASH CHUTE FOR ALL THE FLOORS THAT GOES INTO A DUMPSTER ROOM IN THE GARAGE . SO WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT NONRESIDENTIAL USES HERE. I WOULD NOTE THAT IT WOULD STILL ALLOW FOR PEOPLE TO DO THE INTERIOR TRASH ROOM BUT I THINK JUST GIVEN SOME COST COMPARISONS WE'D LIKELY SEE MORE FACILITIES DOING THE DETACHED TRASH ENCLOSURE. THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES I GUESS TO ILLUSTRATE IF IF WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH EITHER OPTION OR OPTION B TO SOME OF THE TYPES OF TRASH ENCLOSURES THAT YOU'D LIKELY SEE IN BLOOMINGTON. SO THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF DETACHED ENCLOSURES WITH ROOFS THEN MATERIALS THAT MATCH THE BUILDING AND THEN FINALLY REGARDLESS OF WHAT OPTION WE MAY OR MAY NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH, WE DID HAVE A SET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR THESE DETACHED ENCLOSURES AS WELL. SO WE COVERED THINGS LIKE A GENERAL SETBACK SETBACK FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY HAVING PROXIMITY TO THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING. I THINK JUST THINKING ABOUT EMPLOYEES AND THEIR SAFETY TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT WALKING ACROSS, YOU KNOW, A VERY LARGE SITE SCUSE ME VERY LARGE SITE OR WALKING FROM ONE END OF THE BUILDING TO THE OTHER TO GET TO THE TRASH ENCLOSURE, MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S PROPER CIRCULATION AND ACCESS ON SITE ,HAVING A LIGHTING STANDARD THAT MEETS OUR CURRENT SIDEWALK AND PARKING LOT STANDARDS MATERIALS THAT MATCH THE BUILDING AND THEN THE HEIGHT WE PROPOSE THAT IT CAN'T EXCEED 15FT IN HEIGHT AND THIS WOULD MATCH OUR CURRENT ACCESSORY BUILDING STANDARD IN CODE AND I THINK REALLY WITH THAT WE HAVE A COUPLE OF GUIDING QUESTIONS JUST TO HELP GIVE SOME DIRECTION BY HAPPY TO STAND FOR ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. LOTS OF QUESTIONS. COUNCILMEMBER CARTER SORRY OR HAVE A QUESTION I WAS JUST GOING TO HELP SHARE MY OPINION. LET'S HEAR YOUR OPINION. I'M COMFORTABLE WITH MOVING FORWARD WITH ALL NONRESIDENTIAL USES BECAUSE I'M WATCHING THE CLOCK SO I'M JUST GOING TO BE VERY BRIEF. ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. THE THOUGHTS COUNCIL COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. IN IN THE INTERESTS OF BREVITY, I JUST WANT TO THANK THANK STAFF FOR BRINGING THIS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT. I WOULD I WOULD BE FINE IF IT WAS AS COUNCILMEMBER CARTER SAID IN ALL NONRESIDENTS OR USES I COULD EVEN LIVE WITH THE OTHER OPTION IF THAT'S WHERE THE REST OF THE COUNCIL WANTS TO GO. BUT I'M JUST VERY HAPPY TO SEE SOME MOVEMENT ON THIS. IT IS IT IS TRULY GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF AT LEAST THIS ASPECT OF MAKING A LOT MORE SITES ACCESSIBLE TO SMALL BUSINESSES. SO I'M EXCITED EITHER WAY. I WOULD LOVE IT IF IT WAS ON THEN RESIDENTIAL USES. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO NONRESIDENTIAL. ALL RIGHT. WONDERFUL. AND THEN THE NEXT ONE I HAD WAS JUST THESE NEXT THREE QUESTIONS ARE JUST ON THE PERFORMANCE STANDARD SPECIFICALLY KIND OF RELATING TO MATERIALS SO WHETHER THEY SHOULD MATCH THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING OR NOT OR JUST BE MADE OF MASONRY. SO THE EXAMPLE ON THE LEFT IS ONE THAT'S MASONRY THAT MATCHES THE BUILDING. THE ONE ON THE RIGHT SHOWS THAT IT WAS A BRICK AND STUCCO BUILDING BUT THEY USED KIND OF CONCRETE MASONRY UNITS FOR THE ENCLOSURE SO THEY DON'T QUITE MATCH AND I GUESS THE PLANNING COMMISSION FEEDBACK WAS THEY WANT SIMILAR MATERIALS. HOWEVER IF A BUILDING IS WOOD OR STUCCO THEY DON'T WANT A WOOD OR STUCCO ENCLOSURE SO THEY DO WANT MASONRY AND THEN WE'LL KIND OF MATCH IT COLOR WISE WAS KIND OF THE GENERAL CONSENSUS THERE. I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE. I'D MAKE THEM LOOK AS NICE AS POSSIBLE AND AS CONSISTENT AS POSSIBLE BUT UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE THE POSSIBILITY. YEAH. OKAY. SEEING SOME HAD NOT THUMBS UP THIS ONE IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR FROM PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THEY WANTED A ROOF SO THIS WAS JUST ASKING IF YOU WANTED A ROOF OR NOT. I'D SAY THE BENEFITS IS THAT IT HELPS KEEP RAIN AND SNOW OUT OF THE FACILITY. IT'S HOPING TO REDUCE ILLICIT DISCHARGE FROM THE DUMPSTERS INTO OUR SEWER AND WATER SYSTEM SO IT SEEMED PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD THAT THEY WANTED A ROOF. I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. AGAIN, MAKE THEM LOOK GOOD. YEAH. YEAH. WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS. YEP. AND THEN THE LAST THE LAST QUESTION I HAVE WE JUST HAD WAS RELATED TO THE SETBACKS SO WE PROPOSED A 30 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE STREET AND THEN FIVE FEET FROM ANOTHER PROPERTY LINE AND THEN 20FT FROM A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINE AND I GUESS I JUST PUT THE CAVEAT OF WHY WE LANDED AT 20FT IS IF YOU HAVE A COMMERCIAL BUILDING KIND OF NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL, THAT RESIDENTIAL HOME ALSO HAS A SETBACK FROM THE SHARED PROPERTY LINE. TYPICALLY THAT'S 30FT FROM THE REAR PROPERTY LINE. SO YOU KIND OF THINK ABOUT IT THAT 20 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE PROPERTY LINE EQUATES TO ABOUT A 50 FOOT SETBACK FROM THE ACTUAL HOME OR RESIDENCE. SO THAT'S I GUESS JUST THAT THAT CAVEAT THERE GETTING REALLY NERDY IN THE WEEDS ABOUT SETBACKS AND WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THE NERDY AND THE WE SETBACKS COUNCIL MEMBER D'ALESSANDRO YEAH SORRY THE QUESTION ON THAT I'M JUST CURIOUS DID WE DO ANY KIND OF ASSAY OF THE OF THE THE AREAS WHERE THESE BUILDINGS MIGHT BE TO KNOW IF THIS IS GENERALLY ENFORCEABLE? WHAT I'M THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE WOULD BE HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO SEE A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE ON THIS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY CHECK TO SEE HOW MANY HOW HOW LIKELY IT IS THAT WE COULD DO THIS WITH THESE WITH THESE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THEM. I JUST AM CURIOUS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE ACTUALLY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE IN THIS IN THE CITY IN TERMS OF ACTUAL SPACE. >> YEAH. MAYOR COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. YEAH, WE HAVEN'T DONE A FULL ANALYSIS BUT THAT THAT WAS SIMILAR SENTIMENT FROM SOME OF OUR PLANNING COMMISSIONERS TO DO SOME MORE OF THAT ANALYSIS. SO WE WILL DO THAT BEFORE WE BRING THE FINAL ORDINANCE OR A PROPOSED ORDINANCE. I WOULD JUST SAY ANECDOTALLY I LOOKED AT KIND OF 90TH AND PENN COMES TO MIND ON THAT COMMERCIAL STRIP AND THEN YOU HAVE RESIDENTIAL HOMES BEHIND THERE. AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THAT PROPERTY, THE 20FT WOULD ALLOW THEM STILL SOME SPACE BEHIND THE BUILDING AND MEET THAT SETBACK. BUT YEAH, CERTAINLY WE'LL LOOK AT SOME OTHER SITES TO MAKE SURE THAT'S NOT THE CASE OR DO OUR BEST. YEAH THANK YOU. IF COUNCIL ADDITIONAL COMMENTS I THINK WE'RE GOOD. ALL RIGHT WELL YEAH THAT'S ALL THE PREPARED QUESTIONS I HAD SO WE WILL YOU'LL LIKELY SEE SOME KIND OF ORDINANCE PROBABLY LATER THIS FALL EARLY WINTER BREAK. SO ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU AND THANKS FOR STICKING WITH THIS LATE TONIGHT. APPRECIATE IT. ABSOLUTELY. COUNCIL OUR NEXT ITEM IS 5.4 CITY COUNCIL POLICY AND ISSUE UPDATE SINCE WE DID OUR REMOVE ITEM 5.3 FROM OUR AGENDA I WILL START WITH A QUICK RECAP OF OUR COUNCIL LISTENING SESSION EARLIER TONIGHT WE HAD A NUMBER OF FOLKS SAMUEL MUHAMMAD, A KENNEDY HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR STUDENT EXCUSE ME ONE OF THE SENIOR STUDENT SPOKE ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE AND GUN CONTROL AND THE FEELING OF BEING SAFE IN SCHOOLS AND AND URGED THE COUNCIL AND THE CITY AND BASICALLY EVERYONE TO DO MORE ON THIS ON THIS VERY PRESSING IMPORTANT ISSUE. RICHARD DEGROOT TALKED ABOUT ACTUALLY RICHARD AND GLORIOUS WHAT WAS GLORIOUS HIS LAST NAME I CAN'T RIGHT PLACE GLORIOUS RIGHT BOTH SPOKE ABOUT THE PROPOSAL TO DIVIDE ONE LOT INTO TWO LOTS AT 9000 WASHBURN WASHBURN CIRCLE THERE WERE NEIGHBORS IN OPPOSITION TO IT THEY WERE JUST LOOKING FOR MORE DETAILS AND MORE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN A BIT MORE ABOUT IT AND HAD QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT SETBACKS. SAFETY TREE COVER AND THAT KIND OF THING. SO WE WE HAD A GOOD CONVERSATION WITH THEM. JODY CASTO HAS LIVES DOWN BY THE THE THE TRAIN LINES DOWN IN BY IN HIGHLAND THAT BUSH LAKE YOU KNOW IT WAS HIGHLAND WAS UNDERNEATH ISLAND SKI HILL YEAH YEAH EXACTLY AND THE THE TRAINS THERE WHICH TYPICALLY HAD BEEN EARLIER IN THE EVENING ARE NOW MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND BLOWING THEIR THEIR TRAIN WHISTLES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THEY ASKED THE CITY TO LOOK INTO DOING A STUDY ABOUT SILENT QUIET ZONES IN THE WITHIN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO LOOK AT CROSSINGS THAT ARE MORE APT TO GO TO TWO QUIET ZONES. AND MR. ROBERT NORMAN, HE WAS ANOTHER IN OUR LINE OF FOLKS WHO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THEIR FIBER OPTIC INSTALLATION RESTORATION IN HIS YARD THEY CAME THROUGH LAST SUMMER AND STILL HAVE NOT FINISHED THE WORK IT'S STILL HE DID SEND PICTURES ALONG. IT'S STILL LOOKING PRETTY RATTY AND WE DID TALK TO HIM ABOUT THE ISSUE THAT HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE AND THEN WE WERE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY STAFF CONTINUED WORKING WITH LUMEN AND PUSHING FOR A RESPONSE AND AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO MR. NORMAN AND THE THE ISSUES THAT HE HAD. SO THOSE WERE THE FOLKS THAT WE HAD SPEAKING THIS EVENING AND I SAID EVERY WEEK BUT ONCE AGAIN WE HAD SIX UNIQUE PEOPLE WHO I SPOKE TO OUR OUR COUNCIL LISTENING SESSION SO MR. DEAN DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TONIGHT? NOTHING. I THINK WE HAD A COUPLE OF FOLKS WHO WANTED TO SPEAK UP AND IF WE COULD DO A QUICK FOLKS IT'S ALMOST 930. LET'S WRAP THIS UP. >> COUNCILMEMBER DALLESSANDRO THANKS, MR. MAYOR. OKAY. THREE THINGS VERY QUICKLY. I HAVE FOUR BUT I'VE SKIPPED ONE. OKAY. FIRST THING THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING ME TONIGHT. I KNOW I PROBABLY SINGLE HANDEDLY ADDED TEN MINUTES TO THIS MEETING JUST BY FORCING YOU ALL TO DO VOICE VOTE. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. I APPRECIATE IT. AND THE BIG THING I WANTED TO BRING UP IS THAT I DO THINK WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD MAKE SOME POLICY UPDATES AROUND WHEN TO NOTICE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THERE IS GOING TO BE A CHANGE TO THEIR RESIDENTIAL MAKE UP MOST SPECIFICALLY I DON'T THINK THE ISSUE OF A ONE FOR ONE SWAP IS THE ISSUE BUT WHEN YOU GO FROM A THIS WAS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE A SINGLE FAMILY HOME PLUS A DUPLEX AND IT'S GOING TO BE TAUGHT LIKE YOU KNOW ANYTIME THERE'S SOMETHING SUBSTANTIVE LIKE THAT MAYBE EARLY ON MAYBE MAYBE WHEN MAYBE WE HAVE A WHOLE REQUIREMENT THAT THE DEVELOPER HAVE A A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MAYBE WE WE NOTICE THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS OPPOSED TO WAITING TILL IT GOES TO COUNCIL SO THAT THEY CAN SHOW UP TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT THEIR PUBLIC HEARING AND HAVE QUESTIONS AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT I DON'T KNOW BUT I WOULD LOVE FOR US TO CONSIDER DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE EARLIER IN THE PROCESS ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT ARE ONE CHANGE IS GOING TO MATERIALLY CHANGE THE WAY THAT A NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS BECAUSE WE'RE WE'RE RADICALLY INFILLING DEVELOPMENTS, RIGHT? IF YOU BELIEVE THE RESIDENTS IN THAT PARTICULAR SCENARIO THERE'S GOING TO BE SIX NEW RESIDENCES IN THERE BY THE TIME THIS DEVELOPMENT IS OVER. OKAY. SO I WOULD LOVE THAT. THE LAST THING I WANTED TO BRING UP WAS WE HAVE A SITUATION IT CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AROUND THE NEW EARLY LEARNING CENTER AND WASHBURN THERE ARE MAJOR CHALLENGES WITH THE INGRESS AND EGRESS OF PEOPLE DROPPING OFF THEIR KIDDOS AND AND ALL THE BUSSES THAT ARE CURRENTLY DEALING GOING THERE. I HAD A CHANCE ON SATURDAY TO SPEAK WITH ONE OF THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING TEACHERS AND THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT EVER ASKED US TO DO A PLANNING STUDY AROUND THEIR DECISION TO MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN BUT IN RETROSPECT WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SO WE CAN HELP THEM AND ACCOMMODATE THIS INFLUX OF OF NEIGHBORS DROPPING KIDS OFF, PICKING THEM UP, ETC. BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE COUNCIL COULD HEAR FROM TRAFFIC OR FROM OR FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MR. MAYOR. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER CARTER AND COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS. COUNCILMEMBER CARTER. OH, I WAS GOING TO MOVE ON TO A DIFFERENT TOPIC OTHER THAN I WOULD SAY I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THOSE THINGS. COUNCILMEMBER RELIES ON ANY OF THESE TOPICS OR NEW TOPICS. COUNCILMEMBER CARTER OKAY. SO I WANTED TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE A POLICY DECISION OR IF OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STAFF COULD DO THIS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY THAT WE HAVE BIKE PATHS THAT CROSS ENTRANCES AND EXITS TO BUSINESSES, GROCERY STORES THAT WE ACTUALLY LIKE MAKE IT MUCH MORE CLEAR THAT IT IS A BIKE PATH. SO I WAS JUST IN ST LOUIS PARK THIS WEEKEND AND THEY HAVE BRIGHT GREEN STRIPING RIGHT WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY I THINK THEY DO ON THE CROSSWALKS AND WHERE THEY HAVE BIKE PATHS THAT ARE CROSSING SO IT IS VERY VERY CLEAR AND SO I THINK I'LL JUST I MEAN I'M NOT GOING TO SAY A LOT ABOUT BUT MY SON WAS HIT ON HIS BIKE BY A CAR BY THE CURB PARKING LOT. AND YOU KNOW, WHEN I LOOK AT THAT IT'S LIKE THERE'S TWO WHITE LINES. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE I MEAN THERE IS LIKE I'M NOT SURE FACING INSIDE PICKUP BUT ON THE OUTSIDE LIKE THAT THERE'S LIKE A BIKE LITTLE BIKE THING THAT SHOWS THAT LIKE IT'S A PATH BUT MOST DRIVERS ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND MOST DRIVERS ARE NOT STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN. THEY CREEP UP INTO THE CROSSWALK AND THEN THEY TURN. AND SO I JUST THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY AND LIKE WHETHER PEOPLE LIKE KIDS ON BIKES OR KIDS ON BIKES OR WHATEVER THEY'RE RIDING LIKE THERE ARE A LOT MORE OF THEM NOW AND SO I JUST THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF ROOM TO IMPROVE AND THAT WAS JUST ONE THING THAT I NOTICED WHEN I WAS IN ST LOUIS PARK THIS WEEKEND AND I WAS LIKE IT'D BE GREAT IF WE COULD DO THAT IN BLOOMINGTON, PARTICULARLY AROUND SPOTS WHERE IT'S A LITERAL BIKE PATH AND BIKES DO NOT HAVE TO STOP. THEY SHOULD THEY SHOULD SLOW DOWN BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO SO I WOULD JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE. GOOD SUGGESTION. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER RIVAS, I JUST WANTED TO MENTION ON REGARDS TO THE TRAIN QUIET AREAS I LEARNED THROUGH THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES THAT THEY'RE EXCEEDINGLY LARGE AMOUNTS OF FUNDS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL FOR TRAIN CROSSINGS INCLUDING QUIET AREAS. SO I'M I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY IN THE CITY, YOU KNOW, IS LOOKING TO THAT BUT SINCE WE THAT CAME UP TODAY, THAT WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY STAFF TO LOOK INTO THAT BECAUSE I THERE I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY DEADLINES FOR THAT RIGHT NOW BUT THE FUNDS ARE A LARGE AMOUNT SAID THE CITIES HAVING TO MAKE A MOVE ON IT JUST TO MENTION THAT AND APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE THOSE QUIET TRAIN CROSSINGS ARE NOT INEXPENSIVE THEY'RE VERY EXPENSIVE. SO BETWEEN STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDS YES DEFINITELY WE'D WANT TO LOOK INTO THAT. COUNCILMEMBER THE MAYOR VERY QUICKLY HERE I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T FORGET THIS GOING BACK TO 3.1. I JUST REALLY WANTED TO EXTEND A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE ELECTION JUDGES KNOWING THAT FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS ARE STILL A VERY CORE VALUE HERE IN BLOOMINGTON AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE RAISE OUR HAND TO VOLUNTEER TO HELP US RUN FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS STILL MATTERS A GREAT DEAL AND SO EXTENDING OUR THINGS FROM THE CITY TO THEM FOR THE WORK THAT THEY DO FOR ELECTION DAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER ON SOME MEMBER NELSON ON YOU ASKED FOR IT ONE WOULD I JUST WONDERING IF WE CAN GET AN UPDATE NOT RIGHT NOW MAYBE AND BEAT T.W. OR SOMETHING BUT UPDATES ON CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FOLKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IF ANY IDEAS HAVE BEEN GENERATED WHO'S MAD WHEN THEY'VE MET THAT SORT OF THING JUST SO WE CAN KEEP TABS ON WHAT'S GOING ON THERE AND JUST TO SEE IF THERE'S BEEN ANY MOVEMENT OR ANY NEW IDEAS AND THOUGHTS THAT WE DIDN'T SEE ORIGINALLY . SO I WOULD AGREE. COUNCILMEMBER THANK YOU. YEAH. YEAH. THANK YOU. YEP. COUNCIL NO ONE ELSE COMING FORWARD. NOTHING ELSE.
