GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE DECEMBER 21ST 2023 MEETING OF THE BLOOMINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION. THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS MADE UP OF SEVEN VOLUNTEER BLOOMINGTON RESIDENTS APPOINTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT WE HAVE FOUR WHICH IS A QUORUM THE COMMISSION ADVISES THE CITY COUNCIL ON DELOPMENT PROPOSALS DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS LONG RANGE PLANNING AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES. OUR WORK IS INFORMED BY THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, VARIOUS DISTRICT PLANS AND THE CITY CODE FOR SOME ITEMS THE COMMISSION MAKES A RECOMMENDATION THE CITY COUNCIL HAVING THE FINAL DECISION MAKING AUTHORITY THOSE ARE ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT. IN OTHER CASES THE PLANNING COMMISSION CAN APPROVE OR DENY AN APPLICATION TO THE APPEAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR EACH ACTION ITEM. THERE WILL BE A STAFF REPORT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE APPLICANT TO PRESENT AND TIME FOR ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY. OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS TONIGHT IS THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. PLEASE STAND AS YOU ARE ABLE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. TONIGHT ON OUR AGENDA WE HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS AND THREE STUDY ITEMS FOR THE FIRST ITEM WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR A VARIANCE TO REDUCE WITH FROM 60 FEET TO 14 FEET TO PROVIDE FRONTAGE TO A PARCEL FRONTAGE AND REDUCE THE SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR AN EXISTING DRIVEWAY FROM FIVE FEET TO ZERO FEET. MAY WE HAVE THE STAFF. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS. GOOD EVENING. SO AS YOU JUST MENTIONED, ITEM ONE IS FOR A COUPLE OF VARIANCES AND OF BOTH TO LOT WITH AND TO A DRIVEWAY SETBACK AND SO WHAT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE ARE THE EXISTING CONDITIONS THE ADDRESSES ARE 9940 AND 9946 MAPLE AVENUE SOUTH. SO AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE IMAGE IT'S A RELATIVELY NARROW, VERY DEEP PARCEL THAT GOES FROM ALL THE WAY FROM MAPLE AVENUE ON THE EAST TO NINE MILE CREEK AND CLOSER. EXCUSE ME EXCUSE ME I'M SORRY TO NO MOUNT CREEK ON THE WEST AND SO THE PURPOSE OF THE VARIANCES ARE TWOFOLD. AGAIN THERE ARE TWO VARIANCES THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING TONIGHT SO I KIND OF JUST ZOOMED IN TO THE WHERE THE DRIVEWAY MEETS MAPLE AVENUE. AND IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE YOU SAW THAT THERE'S TWO HOMES ON THESE ON THESE PROPERTIES BUT THERE'S NO LIGHT FRONTAGE, NO STREET FRONTAGE WHICH IS A PRETTY STANDARD CODE REQUIREMENT IN MODERN ZONING CODE . THEY'RE TYPICALLY A MINIMUM STREET FRONTAGE ALONG PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY AND THE CITY CAN ONLY HAVE A 60 FOOT PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY MINIMUM PER LOT AND THEY'RE ZERO FEET FOUR FOR THE HALL. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE TYPICALLY WOULD RECOMMEND BUT IT WAS VARIANCE WAS GRANTED BY THE CITY IN ORDER TO HAVE A HAVE NO STREET FRONTAGE AND INEAD HAVE AN EASEMENT ACCESS. SO THE APPLICANT IS TRYING TO REMEDY THAT BY HAVING 14 FOOT WIDE PROPERTY LINE. I'LL GET TO THAT A MOMENT BUT ESSENTIALLY RETAIN THE DRIVEWAY IT IS TODAY WHICH IS AT A ZERO FOOT SETBACK. WE ARE NEAR NINE MILE CREEK OF COURSE SO WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE MINDFUL OF FLOOD PLAINS AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR FLOOD HAZARD OVERLAY DISTRICT SO THE TOP IMAGE THE STIPPLE PATTERN IS OUR FLOOD OVERLAY FLOOD HAZARD OVERLAY DISTRICT AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE HOME THE WEST HOME IS WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN AND THEN THE IMAGE ON THE BOTTOM TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM FEMA AND I CIRCLED WHERE THAT WHERE THE HOME IS AND ALSO INDICATES WELL THIS THIS LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN THE FLOODPLAIN BUT THESE ARE THESE ARE ESTIMATIONS APPROXIMATIONS AND SO WE ALWAYS LOOK TO THE ACTUA FLD ELEVATION FM SURVEY AS WHAT IS IN FLOOD PLAIN AND WHAT'S NOT AND SO WHAT WE FOUND WHEN THE APPLICANT HAD A PRELIMINARY PLAT DONE IS THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN THIS BUT YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING HOME THERE WAS A FLOODED EASEMENT I'M ASSUMING THAT THE CITY REQUIRED THAT WHEN THIS LOT WAS CREATED BUT THE HOME IT TURNS OUT IS NOT IN THE FLOODPLAIN. THE GARAGE THOUGH IS PARTIALLY AND SO WE HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT GARAGE AND THE INTENT HERE IS IT'S NOT RELATED TO THE PLANT ITSELF BUT IF AND WHEN THIS HOME IS EXPANDED SIGNIFICANTLY, IT'LL BE A CODE REQUIREMENT TO TO RELOCATE OR REBUILD THAT GARAGE OUTSIDE OF THE FLOODPLAIN. SO THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF IF THE EXPANSION YOU SEE HERE IN THIS DIAGONAL PATTERN, IF THAT IF THAT TAKES PLACE THERE'S A STREET VIEW IMAGE OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE IN THE REAL WORLD NOT JUST ON THE PLAN. AND YOU CAN SEE THE DRIVEWAY VERY LONG RELATIVELY NARROW DRIVEWAY GOING BACK TO THE WEST PROPERTY AGAIN THIS IS A ZERO FEE OF FRTAGE AND SO THIS IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAT I'LL PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE DETAIL BUT I WANT TO SHOW THE ENTIRE SITE AGAIN RELATIVELY NARROW VERY WIDE OR DEEP AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE TWO HOMES ARE RELATIVELY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND THIS SHOWS REALLY THE INTENT OF WHAT THE APPLICANT IS LOOKING TO DO WITH THIS PLANT. THE BLUE THE RECTANGLE IS WHERE THEY INTEND TO DO A BUILDING ADDITION BUT THAT RED LINE IS THE EXISTING PROPERTY BOUNDARY SO OBVIOUSLY THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO EXPAND TO THE WEST BECAUSE THAT FLOODPLAIN PROBABLY EXPAND TO THE SOUTH BECAUSE THAT IS PROBABLY WHERE THE GARAGE IS GOING TO BE. SO REALLY YOU CAN ONLY EXPAND TO THE EAST. WELL IN ORDER TO DO THAT THE LINE HAS TO SHIFT AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH. THE EXISTING HOME THERE, THE LONG TERM PRETENSES FOR THAT TO BE REMOVED AND JUST TO SHIFT THAT PROPERTY LINE TO THE EAST AND HERE AS YOU CAN SEE HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT 14 FOOT LOT FRONTAGE ALONG AVENUE AND SO IN TERMS OF FINDINGS OF FACT, YOU KNOW WE ALWAYS HAVE FINDINGS FOR VARIANCES AND WE DO BELIEVE THE FINDINGS ARE MET HAVING 14 FEET OF LOT FRONTAGE IS BETTER THAN ZERO IN OUR OPINION AND REALLY THE COUNT THE CONSTRAINTS DUE TO THE FLOODPLAIN AND THE LOT CONFIGURATION MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO EXPAND. WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO PRECLUDE REDEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE SO THE LOT ONE AS YOU SEE ON SCREEN COULD BE REDEVELOPED FOR A SINGLE FAMILY OR A TWO FAMILY DWELLING IN THE FUTURE. WE DON'T WANT TO WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING. JUST ANOTHER IMAGE OF WHAT ROUGHLY WHAT THE THE LOT BOUNDARIES WOULD LOOK LIKE IF PLOT WAS RECORDED LOT TO THE WEST, LOT IS ROUGHLY THE WIDTH OF THE DRIVEWAY THAT RED AND THEN THE REST OF IT THE REMAINDER WOULD BE LOT ONE AND THAT IN THAT BLUE LINE HERE'S A JUST A PLAIN IMAGE OF WHAT I SHOWED YOU IN THE PREVIOUS IMAGE. SO HAVING TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL IF YOU LIKE AGAIN STUFF WE BELIEVE THE FINDINGS OF FACT AREET F THE VARIANCES AND I HAVE A ROAD RECORD AMENDED MOTION FOR YOU HERE AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

OKAY. SO ONE OF THE CONCERNS I HAVE IS THE IMPACT OF 201 UNIT CONSTRUCTION BUILDING ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS A HIGHLY DENSE CONSTRUCTION SITE FOR A AN APARTMENT AND WOULD LIKELY BRING ABOUT LOTS OF TRAFFIC AND LOTS OF NOISE DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT RIGHTS RESIDENTS I HAVEN'T RESEARCHED THAT BUT I'M HERE JUST TO LEARN ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND LEARN WHAT MY POTENTIAL RIGHTS OR POTENTIAL OBLIGATIONS DOES THIS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY HAVE THE APPLICANT TOWARDS THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN GENERAL SO WITH THAT KNOW THESE ARE JUST SOME GENERAL CONCERNS AT THIS POINT BUT I WELCOME ANY OPPORTUNITY TO BE SENT TO WHERE I COULD RESEARCH THIS SOME MORE WHERE I COULD UNDERSTAND MY RIGHTS AS A AS A PROPERTY OWNER JUST ACROSS THE STREET EXACTLY FROM THIS CONSTRUCTION SITE AND AS SOMEONE WHO COULD BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED IN TERMS OF MY HOME VALUE BUT ITERMS OF YOU KNOW, THE THE NUISANCE LAWS MAY EXIST WITHIN THE CITY BLOOMINGTON AND HOW THAT WOULD IMPACT PEOPLE AROUND NEIGHBORHOOD PEOPLE.

IN CASE PEOPLE 2023-193I MOVE TO HOLD OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONTINUE THE ITEM TO FEBRUARY 1ST PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING PARTICIPANTS SECOND THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ALBRECHT SECOND FIRE COMMISSIONER SIR ALL IN FAVOR SAY I I MOTION PASSES FOR ZERO THIS WILL BE CONTINUED THE FEBRUARY 1ST PLANNING PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS PLANNER JOHNSON WITH A STUDY I HI RICHARD ALSTON HELLO IS THE PLANNING COMMISSION GETS TO TONIGHT I WILL SHARE SOME SLIDES HERE THIS IS A CONTINUATION FROM OUR I DID THE SAME THING THIS IS A CONTINUATION FROM OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ON NOVEMBER 30TH WHERE WE DID A PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ANNUAL WORK PLAN. AS YOU KNOW, ALL ADVISORY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AT THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON ARE REQUIRED TO PREPARE AN ANNUAL PLAN WORK AND A REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR ADOPTION. AND THIS IS THE THIS IS THE MEETING WHERE WE WOULD REVIEW FORMALLY REVIEW WORK PLAN AND PROVIDE A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR NEXT YEAR FOR 2020 FORCE PLAN OF WORK. SO FORGIVE ME HERE SHARE MY SCREEN I WILL NOTE THAT I'M TAKING A LITTLE BIT OF A GAMBLE HERE THIS EVENING AND TAKING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TO HOW WE'VE DONE THIS THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IN LAST YEAR'S PSENTATION, IFOU RECALL I DID FORMAL INDIVIDUAL SLIDE ON EVERY SINGLE PROJECT THAT WE ON THE WORKPLAN THIS EVENING WE'RE GOING TO TAKE KIND MORE OF A BULLET POINT APPROACH AND IF YOU HAVE ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THESE INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS CERTAINLY JUST LET ME KNOW AND I CAN PROVIDE A MORE THOROUGH DESCRIPTION. SO GETTING INTO KIND OF THE CONTENT OF WHAT IT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET. I WON'T TOUCH ON ALL THE ATTACHMENTS THAT WERE INCLUDED WITH THE ITEM BUT JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT OCCURRED THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED IN 2023. SO AS PER USUAL YOUR AGENDAS ARE VERY BUSY ALL YEAR ROUND WE KIND OF GROUPED THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THREE DIFFERENT BUCKETS AND SO IN THE BUCKET OF THE PLANS, THE REZONINGS AND REGARDING AND SPECIAL PROJECTS RE REZONINGS OF NOTE WE DID DO SOME SIGNIFICANTEZONGS ALONG LDALEVENUE AND FURTHERANCE OF THE LYNDALE AVENUE RETROFIT SUBURBAN RETROFIT PLAN SO THAT'S EXCITING. WE DID DO SOME COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT WAS REQUIRED IN RESPONSE TO T METROPOLITAN COUNCIL'S REGIONAL SYSTEM STATEMENT RELEASE AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS AND REVIEW OF OTHER AND DEPARTMENTS WORK INCLUDING THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT, THE ANNUAL HOUSING REPORT THAT IS PRODUCED BY THE HRA STAFF, THE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION ACTION PLAN, THE INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN. SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TRANSPORTATION PLANS AND PROJECTS THAT CAME THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION THIS YEAR IN TERMS OF CODE AMENDMENTS WE CREATED A NEW ZONING THE TRANSITIONAL INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT AGAIN IN FURTHERANCE OF RETROFIT PLAN. THERE IS A FEW DIFFERENT PRIVATE CITY CODE AMENDMENTS THAT YOU REVIEWED THIS YEAR. IN ADDITION THAT THERE WAS A COUPLE OF MORE MINOR AMENDMENTS I GUESS WE WOULD DESCRIBE THEM AS IN TERMS OF OUR FOOD TRUCK OUR STANDARDS UPDATE AND ADDING AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE BEFORE ZONING DISTRICT AND THEN IN TERMS OF OTHER MAJOR CODE AMENDMENTS WE DID DO ADOPT MORAL STANDARDS FOR THE FIRS TIM IN BLOOMINGTON AND THAT WAS PART OF THE SAME CODE BROADER SIGN CODE PROJECT AND YOU DID PARTICIPATE IN TO THOROUGH STUDY SESSIONS ON THE SAME CODE IN TERMS OF MAJOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW. WHAT WE SAW OVERALL AS A DIVISION AND AS A CITY FROM A DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE THIS YEAR WITH THE NATURE OF KIND OF DIFFICULT FINANCE ENVIRONMENT IN THE COTRUCTION INDUSTRY AS WELL AS JUST COST OF LABOR MATERIALS RELATED TO SUPPLY CHAINS AND OTHER KIND OF ECONOMIC CONDITIONS YOU KNOW IT WAS A SLIGHTLY SLOWER YEAR THAN WHAT WE'VE TYPICALLY SEEN IN THE LAST FEW. THAT BEING SAID, THERE STILL WAS SOME SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS THAT CAME THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I'LL JUST NOTE A FEW BUT THE THE 1801 AMERICAN BOULEVARD WEST IS STILL YET TO RECEIVE A FORMAL ON THAT PROJECT. BUT AT KNOX AN AMERICAN THE NEXT PHASE DEVELOPMENT AT THE PAN AMERICAN DISTRICT SO THAT'S EXCITING THE SEC CAMPUS PHASE TWO THAT'S EXCITING PROJECT THE SOUTH LOOP IN TERMS OF CONSTRUCTING ACTUALLY NEW OFFICE SPACE AND A PARKING STRUCTURE FOR THE THE CAMPUS THERE OF WINSTEAD WAY IN ADDITION TO THAT THE SENIOR APARTMENTS BEING CONSTRUCTED AT 700 AMERICAN AND THEN THERE'S A COUPLE SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS THAT ARE STILL ACTIVE AND UNDER REVIEW NOTED THERE ON THE SLIDE AS WELL EXCUSE ME NOW GETTING INTO THE LIST OF PROJECTS. SO AGAIN IF YOU HAVE ANY IF YOU'RE ON ASSIGNMENT OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THESE PROJECTS ARE IN MORE DETAIL LET ME KNOW. I CERTAINLY CAN DO THAT AT THE END IN THE MIDDLE OR MAYBE I'LL WAITILL THE E BUT THERE WAS FORMAL PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET SO YOU CAN CERTAINLY REFERENCE THAT AS WELL. BUT IN TERMS OF CARRYOVER PROJECTS THIS YEAR WE HAVE KIND OF PROJECTS RANGING IN TERMS OF WHERE THEY AT IN THE PROCESS THAT ARE VERY CLOSE TO BEING COMPLETED AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL HAS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY STARTED AND PROJECTS MORE IN THE MIDDLE IN TERMS OF JUST IN THE RESEARCH AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PHASES. SO THE SAME CODE UPDATE SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY STANDARDS MIDDLE HOUSING STUDY THE ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS REVIEW OUR S-1 ZONING DISTRICT STUDY SHORT TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS AND THE ZONING CODE REORGANIZATION WE ARE PROPOSING TO CONTINUE THOSE THOSE PROJECTS FORWARD INTO 2024 IN TERMS OF SOME OTHER PROJECTS THAT A PLANNING STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING IN SUPPORT OF OUR SUSTAINABILITY STAFF AND PUBLIC WORKS IN ONE CASE THE NATIVE LANDSCAPING CODE AMENDMENTS WORKING ON A PROJECT TO TRY AND ENABLE MORE NATIVE PLANTINGS IN THE LANDSCAPE IN BLOOMINGTON I'M JUST FROM AN ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER STANDPOINT AND THEN WITH THE STATES LEGALIZATION OF RECREATIONAL CANNABIS WHICH IS KIND OF FAST APPROACHING THE CITY HAS TO DO SOME CLEANUPS WITH RESPECT OUR MEDICAL CANNABIS REGULATIONS AS WELL AS CONTEMPLATE HOW TO DEAL WITH REGULATIONS RELATED TO RECREATIONAL WHETHER IT BE LICENSING OR OTHER LAND USE PROVISIONS. SO JUST AN UPDATE ABOUT THOSE AND PROPOSING THOSE TO CONTINUE IN TERMS OF NEW PROJECTS THIS YEAR. SO AGAIN A VARIETY BUT MANY FOR THE MOST PART A LOT OF POTENTIAL CITY CODE BUT THE LYNDALE RETROFIT BEFORE REZONINGS PART TWO IF YOU RECALL THAT'S JUST A SMALL SLIVER OF AREA ON LYNDALE KIND OF LEFT REMAINING THAT WAS ADDED TO THAT OVERALL EFFORT THE SOUTH LOOP DISTRICT PLAN UPDATE SHOUT OUT TO COMMISSIONER COOKTOWN IF HE'S WATCHING THE PICKUP WINDOW AND DRIVE THROUGH STANDARDS ADMIN STREAMLINE DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL STUDY MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL STANDARDS REFINE THE PARKING FLEXIBILITY PROCESS THE OFFICE CONVERSION STUDY THE EQUITY REVIEW THE ZONING CODE AND A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FEE STUDY. SO THAT'S THE BULK OF THE DISCRETE PLANNING PROJECTS THAT IS PROPOSED AS NEW CONTENT TO THIS YEAR'S WORK PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR'S RATHER AS FOR ALWAYS WE ALWAYS DO A LOT OF COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS MOST NOTABLY ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS BUT OTHER DIVISIONS AS WELL IN TERMS OF OTHER ONGOING AND SUPPORTIVE PROJECTS THE PARK DEDICATION STANDARDS REVIEW BEING LED BY LEGAL PORT AUTHORITY INITIATIVE THAT'S A PORT LED PROCESS LIKELY COMING OUT OF FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON SANITARY FUNDING PROJECT THAT'S A PROJECT BEING LED BY OUR SPECIAL PROJECTS MANAGER THE TOOL KIT FOR AGING COMMERCIAL NODES THAT'S REALLY A PROJECT FOCUSED ON CREATING DIFFERENT AND INTERVENTIONS TO HELP STRIP CENTERS AND BLOOMINGTON KIND OF UPGRADE OR BECOME MORE VIBRANT AND TIVE AND THENF COURSE OUR ANNUAL MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES ORDINANCE THAT'S AN ITEM THAT WE RESERVE STAFF TIME FOR EVERY YEAR JUST TO MAKE REFINEMENT ENHANCEMENTS TO OUR ZONING CODE AND OTHER AREAS OF THE CODE AND THEN THE TRANSPORTATION ONGOING IN SUPPORT OF PROJECTS SO AMERICAN TRANSIT WE STUDY THAT'S ACTUALLY A CARRYOVER AS WELL. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH CAPACITY TO DO THAT PROJECT THIS YEAR. I DID SPEAK WITH THE TRAFFIC STAFF THERE LOOKING AT A PROCESS BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND AUGUST ON THAT ONE OR SEPTEMBER RATHER THE INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN. I KNOW THAT ONE'S BEEN BEFORE YOU BUT IT'S VERY NEARING COMPLETION BUT TECHNICALLY IT'LL BE REVIEWED BY THE COUNCIL IN JANUARY YET HERE SO WE DO NEED TO INCLUDED ON OUR PLAN JUST GENERAL TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS SUPPORT THE ENGINEERING STAFF ALWAYS BRINGS PLANNING STAFF IN AND THAT PROCESS AND THEN REVIEW CORRIDOR SOME OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT TRANS HIGHWAY BEING PROPOSED ALL THE WAY TO SAINT PAUL MULTIPLE STAFF FROM PLANNING DO SERVE AND FORMAL TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ROLES ON THAT PROJECT AND THEN LIVABILITY OF LOCAL STREETS. THISS A PROJECT THAT WE DISCUSSED AT OUR PREVIOUS MEETING IN TERMS OF CHAIR ROMAN'S REQUEST TO ADD A PROJECT DEDICATED OR FOCUSED ON DIFFERENT DESIGN ELEMENTS OF LOCAL STREETS IN TERMS OF TRYING TO ENHANCE LIVABILITY. SO THAT IS A NEW AD FROM OUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSION IN TERMS OF KIND OF WHERE WE SIT WITH JUST STAFF CAPACITY IN ESTIMATING THE AMOUNT OF HOURS AS YOU AS WE'VE DISCUSSED IN THE PAST WE HAVE A WE ATTEMPT TO BE THOROUGH AND PRECISE IN THESE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ACTIVITIES THAT THESE PROJECTS REQUIRE AND GLEN HAS LOT OF BACKGROUND AND HISTORY IN TERMS OF HIS ESTIMATIONS I'M GETTING I'M TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED ON IT AS WELL BUT WE'RE ESTIMATING THE PROJECTS INCLUDED ON THE FORMAL PLAN WOULD TAKE 3745 STAFF HOURS TO COMPLETE STAFF CAPACITY IS JUST SLIGHTLY UNDER THAT AT 3659 HOURS THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO TRY AND YOU KNOW, GAIN STAFF TIME HERE AND THERE AND T NURE OF THE CURRENT PLANNING DEVELOPMENT CYCLES ALWAYS DOES HAS THE POTENTIAL TO OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADDITIONAL STAFF TIME SHOULD THERE BE A SLOWER DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT YEAR? SO JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT IN TERMS OF HOW WE TRY TO PLAN OR SCHEDULE OUT THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS OVER THE YEAR WE HAVE THE PROJECTS LISTED THREE BUCKETS FIRST OUR TOP PRIORITY THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE INTEND TO TACKLE MORE SO IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR AND THEN THE SECONDY PRIORITY PJECT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE WOULD THAT WOULD PICK UP MORE STEAM TYPICALLY IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR SOME OF THOSE LIKELY WOULD BE LIKELY CARRYOVER CANDIDATES INTO 25 AND THEN YOU HAVE THE GREAT PROJECTS ON THE BOTTOM ARE THE ONGOING IN SUPPORT OF PROJECTS THAT I IDENTIFIED ONE OTHER THING ABOUT THIS TIMING AND PRIORITY MATRIX IS THAT WE ATTEMPT TO TRY AND LOOK AT YOU KNOW WHEN THESE PROJECTS LIKELY WOULD BE BEFORE THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AS WELL AS COUNCIL IN TERMS OF BOTH AND STUDY SESSION ENVIRONMENTS ORN PUBLIC HEARIS TY'RE REALLY JUST OUR BEST GUESS IN TERMS OF HOW TO SPACE EVERYTHING OUT IF ALL SORTS OF MEETINGS ARE KIND OF ALL CLUMPING ON ONE AGENDA IT GETS A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO DO BUT WE DO OUR BEST TO TRY AND MANAGE THAT. SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR WE INCLUDED A SUPPLEMENTAL MATRIX IN THE MATERIALS THIS YEAR AND WHAT THAT'S REALLY INTENDED TO IDENTIFY IS A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE IS THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ANTICIPATED PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT THE CITY USES THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION MODEL OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND TN W WANT TO IDENTIFY WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S A FORMAL PLANNING ROLE IN THESE PROJECTS AND FOR THE MOST PART MOST OF THESE PROJECTS DO INCLUDE A FORMAL PC ROLE AND THEN ALSO IDENTIFY DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OR WHERE WE ANTICIPATE JUST REVIEW FOR MOTHERBOARDS COMMISSIONS. I KNOW THAT'S BEEN AN ONGOING EFFORT TO TRY AND CONNECT THE CITY'S AND COMMISSIONS TOGETHER MORE TO GET THEM KIND OF ALIGNED ON MUTUAL PROJECTS OF INTEREST. AND THEN FINALLY AS YOU KNOW THE CIT HAS FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN BLOOMINGTON TOGETHER TOMORROW TOGETHER IN THIS MATRIX WE TRY AND IDENTIFY HOW THESE PROJECTS IMPACT THE THREE DIFFERENT PRIORITIES OF THE FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN. SO A COUPLE OF QUICK POINTS JUST TO WRAP UP HERE. THERE WERE SOME RECENT CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSIONS AS PART OF THE MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES ORDINANCE THAT WAS RECENTLY BEFORE THEM AS PART OF A PUBLIC HEARING. THEY DID ADOPT THE MAJORITY OF THOSE ORDINANCES. HOWEVER, IT DID STIMULATE DISCSIONND THE TALKED ABOUT POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS TO THREE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE ZONING CODE . ONE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE 80 USE STANDARDS. ONE WOULD BE REVIEWING SOME ELEMENTS OF THE CITY'S FENCE ORDINANCE. AND THE THIRD ONE WOULD BE HAVE TO DO IS PRETTY NARROW OR FOCUSED ONE ON SOME OF THE CITY'S RULES AROUND TRANSPARENCY IN OUR MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICTS WE REQUIRE CERTAIN LEVELS OF WINDOWS AND WE THEM TO BE FULLY OPEN OR VISIBLE THROUGH THAT IN THOSE MIXED USE DISTRICTS. SO THESE ARE POTENTIAL I GUESS I'LL CALL THEM CURVEBALLS OR POTENTIAL ADDITIONS THAT THE CITYOUNCIL MIGHT HAVE AN INTEREST IN LOOKING INTO. WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S HARD TO DETERMINE YET IF THEY FORMALLY NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE WORK PLAN. BUT IF IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN WE CERTAINLY WOULD CIRCLE BACK SOME TYPE OF INFORMATIONAL UPDATE AT A LATER TIME IF THAT WERE TO OCCUR AND THEN LOOKING OUT WE ALWAYS WE ALWAYS TRY GET ON PEOPLE'S RADAR SCREENS TO JUST WHAT ARE SOME POTENTIAL PROJECTS FOR THE FUTURE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT OUR IS STARTING THAT NOT NECESSARILY NEXT YEAR BUT STARTING TO THINK THE 2015 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND SO THAT'LL INVOLVE YOU KNOW A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND VISIONING AND STRATS AND OTHER TYPES OF ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PRETTY LABOR INTENSIVE OR RESOURCE HEAVY. SO WE'RE STARTING TO THINK ABOUT DEDICATING SOME AND 25 JUST TO DO THE PRELIMINARY PLANNING AND MAPPING OUT A PROJECT SCHEDULE ON THE AMERICAN BOULEVARD CORRIDOR AS THE AS FOR 94 CHANGES WITH IN TERMS OF DIFFERENT ACCESS POINTS WITH THE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT IT'LL BE A GOOD TIME EITHER IN 25 OR BEYOND JUST TO LOOK AT REZONING SOME ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES AS WELL AS JUST LOOKING AT THE LAND USE MIX ALONG THAT CORRIDOR TO SEE HOW THOSE CHANGES IN ACCESS AFFECT AMERICAN CORRIDOR MINNESOTA RIVER VALLEY WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT ON NOVEMBER THE 30TH BUT THERE'S SOME PROJECTS IN THE NEXT FEW THAT ARE EXCITING AND HOPEFULLY WILL ADD CONNECTIONS AND IMPROVE TRAILHEADS SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT IN THE FUTURE AND THEN TEMPORARY STRUCTURE, AIR QUALITY AND EMISSION STANDARDS . CERTAINLY BLOOMINGTON HAS, YOU KNOW, INDUSTRIAL AREAS IN THE CITY AND THENN ONGOING DISCUSSION THAT WAS GENERATED FROM THE PUBLIC HAD TO DO WITH DOING SOME MORE ANIMAL AMENDMENTS FOR DUCKS FOR EGG HARVESTING OF DUCKS. SO THOSE SOME THINGS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY OUT THERE IN THE FUTURE BUT IN TERMS OF WHAT FEEDBACK WE'RE GETTING FROM YOU IS JUST KIND OF OUR STANDARD QUESTIONS ASK ARE THERE ANY PROJECTS ON THIS LIST THAT YOU THINK ARE THAT DON'T MERIT INCLUSION IN THE WORK PLAN? SHOULD ANY OTHER PROJECTS BE AND OR SHOULD ANY PROJECTS BE ? SO THOSE ARE THE STANDARD QUESTIONS. AND THEN DOWNSTREAM OF THAT I DO HAVE A RECOMMENDED MOTION THAT CAN BE USED OR AMENDED AS NEEDED SO I'M HAPPY TO STAND FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. PLANNER JOHNSON QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR STAFF COMMISSIONER MCGOVERN THANK YOU CHAIR. ONE THING I WAS CURIOUS TO KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE NATIVE PLANTS AS PART OF OUR PROJECTED OUTCOME, CAN WE ADD TO THE LIST OF OF LET'S SAY FARM ANIMALS IN ORDER TO ENHANCE POLLINATION AND KEEP OUR ENVIRONMENT GOING AND I'M TO LOSE MY VOICE. SO YES, YOUR GOALS FROM COMMISSIONER MCGOVERN GLENN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE AN UPDATE OF WHEN WE UPDATED THESE BUT IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO. YEAH, IT TRIGGERED COMMISSIONER MCGOVERN AND IT MAY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN WELL SOME OF THE MORE SENIOR PLANNING COMMISSIONERS WERE ON THE COMMISSION BUT IT JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE CITY DID TO KIND OF LOOK AT ALL THE CODES THAT RELATED BEES AND MADE SEVERAL AMENDMENTS YEAH I CERTAINLY COULD REPORT BACK TO YOU HOW PERMISSIVE IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE BUT MY ASSUMPTION MY IS THAT YOU KNOW, DOING ACTIVITIES WITH BEES AT RESIDENTIAL SITES IS PERMITTED JUST SUBJECT TO SOME STANDARDS. OKAY THANK YOU. YEP. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR STAFF? NOT AT THIS TIME. I DID WANT RELAY SOME COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONER ROHMAN AND HE IS ABSENT TONIGHT BUT I THINK WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING THE AGENDA PACKET ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT HE MADE WAS HE WAS DISAPPOINTED IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THE STREETS POLICY WAS INCLUDED BUT IN THE PRESENTATION NOW I THINK THE LIVABILITY OF LOCAL STREETS DOES COVERIS ASK SO I'M SURE HE'LL BE WATCHING THIS WHEN HE RETURNS FROM HIS TRIP BUT IT WILL BE GOOD TO SEE IT. LIVABILITY OF LOCAL STREETS IS REALLY FOCUSING ON HOW DO OUR STREETS TODAY AND HOW ARE THEY BUILT AND THEN HOW SHOULD THEY BE BUILT AND IN THE FUTURE TO MEET, YOU KNOW, WALKABILITY, SIDEWALKS LIVABILITY STANDARDS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. SO I'M JUST HIS COMMENT THERE AND I'M GLAD SEE IT WAS ADDRESSED PERSONALLY MY MY COMMENT IS REALLY AROUND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THE TOPIC OF AGING COMMERCIAL NOTES INCLUDED IN OUR WORK PLAN I FIND THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT COMMERCIAL NODES WITHIN OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS THAT CAN BRING IN A LOT OF AMENITIES TO US RESIDENTS. IT'S REALLY LOCALIZED FOCUSED ON ON OUR RESIDENTS. I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW THEY THEY'RE IN OKAY SHAPE BUT ERE COU BEO MORE FOR US AS RESIDENTS IF THOSE COMMERCIAL NODES SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ONE QUESTION THAT I HAD FOR STAFF IS I REMEMBER IN OUR PRESENTATIONS IT WAS REALLY FOCUSED ON ALLOWING THE PORT AUTHORITY OR THERE WAS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE PORT AUTHORITY WITH THOSE COMMERCIAL NODES. COULD YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE COLLABORATION OR THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE PORT AUTHORITY AS WELL AS WITH THE PLANNING STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION? THAT TOPIC. YEAH, THANK YOU. SURE. GOLTZMAN I'M HAPPY YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION SO PRIOR TO THE A THE CITY'S HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY I COMPLETED STRATEGIC PLAN A FEW YEARS AGO AND WHAT THAT WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDED THAT WAS TO ACTUALLY REORGANIZE THE CITY'S HRA AND THE PORT AUTHORITY AND IN TERMS OF JUST KIND OF SHIFTING THEIR FOCUS AREAS A LITTLE BIT NATURE IS NOW FOCUSED ON WELL A WIDE VARIETY OF SERVICES BUT IN TERMS OF THE THE DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT 20 UNITS OR LESS WHICH IS THE BREAKING POINT AT THE OPPORTUNITY HOUSING ORDINANCE POLICY AND SO PREVIOUSLY THE PORT AUTHORITY WAS FOCUSED ON THE SOUTH OF DISTRICT AREA ONLY WHICH MANY OF THESE AGING COMMERCIAL NODES ARE NOT LOCATED IN THE SOUTH LOOP DISTRICT AND SO THOSE PREVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE FELL TO THE RESPONSIBLE OF THE CITY'S HRA AND THE CITY'S HRA DID DO STRATEGIC PROJECTS ALONG LYNDALE AND AT FRANSON OLD SHACK UP AND FEW OTHER LOCATIONS BUT THEY WOULD LOOK TO DO MORE FULL SCALE TYPE PROJECTS AND SO WITH A COUPLE DYNAMICS HERE WITH THE PORT AUTHORITY EXTENDING NOW CITYWIDE BUT ALSO GROWING THEIR PROGRAMING AND SERVICES AROUND AREAS THAT ARE NOT JUST FULL SCALE REDEVELOPMENT THEY RECENTLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SITE AND FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AS AN EXAMPLE. THAT'S ONE OF THESE TOOLS THAT WILL BE IN THE TOOLKIT EVENTUALLY WHEN IT'S BUT THERE'S THERE'S OTHER LEVELS OF INTERVENTIONS THAT DON'T INVOLVE FULL SCALE REDEVELOPMENT THAT CAN BE VERY IMPACTFUL HELP MAKE THESE COMMERCIAL NODES MORE VIBRANT, MORE ACTIVE, MORE ARACTIVE, MORE ECONOMICALLY HEALTHY THAN THEY ARE TODAY. SO YEAH, I THINK A GOOD OPPORTUNITY THAT THE CITY IS GROWING THE PORT AUTHORITY TO TACKLE OF THOSE ISSUES AND YOU'LL SEE MORE OF IT WITH THESE PROJECTS AND THAT AND THAT INVOLVES COLLABORATION WITH PORT STAFF. RIGHT THANK YOU NEITHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE WORKPLAN FOR STAFF ALL RIGHT BECAUSE THIS IS A GO AHEAD BUT IF IN REGARDS TO THE DUC FARM POULTRY ANIMAL FOR DUCKS ARE CHICKENS INCLUDED TOO LIKE CHICKEN LET'S SAY A RESIDENT WANTED TO RACE OR HAD A COUPLE OF CHICKENS IN THEIR YELLOW LIGHT AND HAD WANTED TO LIKE MAKE THEIR OWN EGGS RAISE THAT INCLUDED IN THIS THAT'S YOUR GROCERY COMMISSIONER YOU SAY SO THAT'S PERMITTED TODAY THE CITY AS GLENN WAS MENTIONING WHEN WE DID THE MAJOR UPDATES AROUND B'S WE ALSO ILUDED UPDATES AROUN CHICKENS AND SO THAT IS A PERMITTED ACTIVITY TODAY.
