we do have a firm objection to

00:07:00,301 --> 00:07:00,968

115
00:07:00,968 --> 00:07:01,869
was sir. The petition was

116
00:07:01,869 --> 00:07:04,869
filed in JANUARY. We've been

117
00:07:05,372 --> 00:07:06,440
having conversations with Dmd

118
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,840

119
00:07:09,409 --> 00:07:10,344
JANUARY, including related to

120
00:07:10,344 --> 00:07:13,344
traffic and other issues. We

121
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:14,882
were not made aware that

122
00:07:14,882 --> 00:07:15,582
staff's request was what can

123
00:07:15,582 --> 00:07:18,850
we do? A traffic study until

124
00:07:18,850 --> 00:07:21,850
late last. Week and the

125
00:07:21,922 --> 00:07:23,657
request was that perform a

126
00:07:23,657 --> 00:07:24,325
traffic study. We can make

127
00:07:24,325 --> 00:07:25,626
commitment to performing a

128
00:07:25,626 --> 00:07:28,626
traffic study prior to the

129
00:07:29,796 --> 00:07:32,196
issuance permits which we're

130
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,700
happy to do and will

131
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:34,368
incorporate that commitment

132
00:07:34,368 --> 00:07:37,368
into the record. So traffic

133
00:07:37,838 --> 00:07:38,706
study will be done. This is a

134
00:07:38,706 --> 00:07:39,773
low income housing tax credit

135
00:07:39,773 --> 00:07:42,173
project with very tight

136
00:07:45,179 --> 00:07:46,947
timelines. Much-needed

137
00:07:46,947 --> 00:07:49,850
project. And so we asked that

138
00:07:49,850 --> 00:07:50,584

00:24:51,545 --> 00:24:52,713
there materials that have 11

561
00:24:52,713 --> 00:24:53,381
and counselor Jones letter

562
00:24:53,381 --> 00:24:54,582
supports in your materials

563
00:24:54,582 --> 00:24:55,783
that had 10 and she's here and

564
00:24:55,783 --> 00:24:59,383
will we'll speak to you in

565
00:24:59,954 --> 00:25:01,155
support of the project. I'm

566
00:25:01,155 --> 00:25:03,555
just move through information

567
00:25:04,191 --> 00:25:06,591
that's included in exhibits

568
00:25:08,329 --> 00:25:09,970
behind tab one r a some aerial

569
00:25:09,970 --> 00:25:11,365
shots of the site. Just to

570
00:25:11,365 --> 00:25:13,567
give you context again, it's

571
00:25:13,567 --> 00:25:14,301
west of the White River,

572
00:25:14,301 --> 00:25:17,104
bounded by White River Parkway

573
00:25:17,104 --> 00:25:17,906
to the east of the site. To

574
00:25:17,906 --> 00:25:20,875
the north is Saul c Street to

575
00:25:20,875 --> 00:25:24,112
the south is Aster Street and

576
00:25:24,112 --> 00:25:26,114
then came street is to the

577
00:25:26,114 --> 00:25:28,160
west as part of this

578
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:28,683
development, both Aster Street

579
00:25:28,683 --> 00:25:31,683
and Street, which of the 2

580
00:25:31,786 --> 00:25:34,656
streets north and south. We'll

581
00:25:34,656 --> 00:25:35,323
be widened in. That was a

582
00:25:35,323 --> 00:25:36,691
request that was made of us

583
00:25:36,691 --> 00:25:39,691
from dpw and our our

584
00:25:41,930 --> 00:25:42,597
conversations. As we studied

585
00:25:42,597 --> 00:25:44,899
kind of the circulation the

586
00:25:44,899 --> 00:25:46,934
traffic flow in the area.

587
00:25:46,934 --> 00:25:49,934
Behind Tab. 2 are some site

588
00:25:51,106 --> 00:25:54,106
photos. The site consists of.

589
00:25:54,242 --> 00:25:55,376
Some vacant ground and then

590
00:25:55,376 --> 00:25:58,376
also a number of residential

591
00:25:58,746 --> 00:26:01,146
structures in varying stages

592
00:26:01,516 --> 00:26:03,384
of disrepair and decay. All

593
00:26:03,384 --> 00:26:06,870
but one of those residential

594
00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:07,155
buildings is subject of a

595
00:26:07,155 --> 00:26:10,155
demolition order or some sort

596
00:26:10,892 --> 00:26:13,892
of notice of violation. The

597
00:26:14,950 --> 00:26:17,950
property owner behind Tab 3 is

598
00:26:18,166 --> 00:26:20,268
study the structures that are

599
00:26:20,268 --> 00:26:21,402
existing and and the and their

600
00:26:21,402 --> 00:26:22,136
reports are behind tab 3 by a

601
00:26:22,136 --> 00:26:24,536
structural engineer. The point

602
00:26:25,774 --> 00:26:27,842
is that these properties are

603
00:26:27,842 --> 00:26:28,509
decaying and significantly and

604
00:26:28,509 --> 00:26:30,909
the properties in desperate

605
00:26:32,147 --> 00:26:34,547
need of improvement. Through

606
00:26:36,185 --> 00:26:38,987
this Next is investing is

607
00:26:38,987 --> 00:26:39,721
making a 70 million dollar

608
00:26:39,721 --> 00:26:42,121
investment in the neighborhood

609
00:26:42,691 --> 00:26:43,425
to improve these properties

610
00:26:43,425 --> 00:26:44,920
and to put them to good use

611
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,492
for much needed affordable

612
00:26:47,829 --> 00:26:50,229
housing. The properties are

613
00:26:50,698 --> 00:26:51,699
already zone we're not asking

614
00:26:51,699 --> 00:26:54,937
for rezoning da, as I'm sure,

615
00:26:54,937 --> 00:26:57,710
you know, is a fairly intense

616
00:26:57,710 --> 00:26:59,710
residential zoning district

617
00:26:59,274 --> 00:27:01,274
where multi-family development

618
00:27:01,643 --> 00:27:02,344
is typically contemplated as

619
00:27:02,344 --> 00:27:04,179
opposed to single family

620
00:27:04,179 --> 00:27:05,347
development. Again, the

621
00:27:05,347 --> 00:27:08,347
properties are already zone d

622
00:27:10,850 --> 00:27:10,719
8. In addition, as staff has

623
00:27:10,719 --> 00:27:13,355
pointed out in the staff

624
00:27:13,355 --> 00:27:15,355
report. The proposed

625
00:27:17,259 --> 00:27:17,893
development is consistent with

626
00:27:17,893 --> 00:27:18,494
applicable land use plan,

627
00:27:18,494 --> 00:27:21,196
which is the near West

628
00:27:21,196 --> 00:27:21,964
Neighborhood land use plan.

629
00:27:21,964 --> 00:27:25,564
Not only does it recommend da

630
00:27:26,168 --> 00:27:26,869
development. But here, quote,

631
00:27:26,869 --> 00:27:30,469
a couple of quotes from this

632
00:27:30,772 --> 00:27:31,807
land use plan. The area has a

633
00:27:31,807 --> 00:27:34,810
high number of vacant. Lots in

634
00:27:34,810 --> 00:27:37,810
an occupies houses. It is

635
00:27:38,547 --> 00:27:39,615
right for a shift in use

636
00:27:39,615 --> 00:27:40,349
influences are busy.

637
00:27:40,349 --> 00:27:40,816
Washington Street to the south

638
00:27:40,816 --> 00:27:42,816
and neighboring

639
00:27:42,985 --> 00:27:45,385
Indianapolis zoo. The adjacent

640
00:27:46,550 --> 00:27:46,789
White River and proximity to

641
00:27:46,789 --> 00:27:49,910
downtown. And I knew I and the

642
00:27:49,910 --> 00:27:49,692
potential for rapid transit

643
00:27:49,692 --> 00:27:51,692
along Washington Street

644
00:27:51,727 --> 00:27:54,530
corridor. The other thing from

645
00:27:54,530 --> 00:27:56,898
the neighborhood plan that I

646
00:27:56,898 --> 00:27:59,898
think is relevant. It states

647
00:28:00,269 --> 00:28:01,300
that multi-family residential

648
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:04,300
development in the area should

649
00:28:05,307 --> 00:28:06,750
take the form of purpose-built

650
00:28:06,750 --> 00:28:07,876
multi-family structures rather

651
00:28:07,876 --> 00:28:10,276
than subdividing the existing

652
00:28:11,747 --> 00:28:12,748
structures into multiple

653
00:28:12,748 --> 00:28:15,684
units. In other words, as the

654
00:28:15,684 --> 00:28:16,385
hearing examiner had put in

655
00:28:16,385 --> 00:28:18,385
their recommendation, support

656
00:28:21,357 --> 00:28:22,424
for project, she stated the

657
00:28:22,424 --> 00:28:23,925
proposed development is

658
00:28:23,925 --> 00:28:24,594
compatible with the

659
00:28:24,594 --> 00:28:26,361
single-family dwellings and

660
00:28:26,361 --> 00:28:28,761
would be inappropriate. Reuse

661
00:28:30,365 --> 00:28:33,965
of the site. Next is proposing

662
00:28:35,437 --> 00:28:37,437
a 242 unit multi-family

663
00:28:37,473 --> 00:28:39,473
development with 258

664
00:28:39,776 --> 00:28:41,776
structured parking spaces.

665
00:28:42,878 --> 00:28:43,613
There are additional 44

666
00:28:43,613 --> 00:28:46,613
parking spaces on the street

667
00:28:46,748 --> 00:28:47,450
around the property. Again,

668
00:28:47,450 --> 00:28:50,450
the property already zoned e

669
00:28:51,187 --> 00:28:52,387
8. But we're asking for

670
00:28:52,387 --> 00:28:54,787
several variances which are

671
00:28:56,226 --> 00:28:57,393
required because the Indy

672
00:28:57,393 --> 00:28:59,280
rezone has residential

673
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,428
building type standards, but

674
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,169
to bring this type of density

675
00:29:06,169 --> 00:29:08,438
to a a with da zoning, which

676
00:29:08,438 --> 00:29:10,838
again is contemplated. You

677
00:29:11,274 --> 00:29:13,376
need variances for height in

678
00:29:13,376 --> 00:29:14,411
some of the open space Those

679
00:29:14,411 --> 00:29:17,411
of that variances that were

680
00:29:19,115 --> 00:29:21,515
requesting. Moving to tab 4,

681
00:29:24,587 --> 00:29:26,456
which is the site plan. As you

682
00:29:26,456 --> 00:29:28,124
can see, the eastern end of

683
00:29:28,124 --> 00:29:30,927
the site is reserved for some

684
00:29:30,927 --> 00:29:32,927
publicly accessible green

685
00:29:34,297 --> 00:29:34,998
space. It is one building that

686
00:29:34,998 --> 00:29:36,833
architectural. Are broken up

687
00:29:36,833 --> 00:29:39,233
into 2 buildings, too. Break

688
00:29:40,536 --> 00:29:41,938
up the massing a number of

689
00:29:41,938 --> 00:29:43,939
changes were done after a

690
00:29:43,939 --> 00:29:46,339
conversation with staff and

691
00:29:47,877 --> 00:29:48,611
the city architect, including

692
00:29:48,611 --> 00:29:51,110
and most significantly staff's

693
00:29:52,915 --> 00:29:55,315
request that. The Western.

694
00:29:55,451 --> 00:29:57,653
Component of the building,

695
00:29:57,653 --> 00:29:59,255
which is closest to the

696
00:29:59,255 --> 00:30:01,157
residential, be reduced from 4

697
00:30:01,157 --> 00:30:04,260
stories to 3 stories. So you

698
00:30:04,260 --> 00:30:05,610
have a three-story building

699
00:30:05,610 --> 00:30:07,461
that's closest to the

700
00:30:07,730 --> 00:30:08,698
residential. And then as you

701
00:30:08,698 --> 00:30:10,266
move east closer to White

702
00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:12,835
River and the views of

703
00:30:12,835 --> 00:30:15,271
downtown. You have a 4 story

704
00:30:15,271 --> 00:30:18,271
building that was a major

705
00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:23,900
change that was made. Behind

706
00:30:24,714 --> 00:30:25,982
Tab 5 is the landscape plan.

707
00:30:25,982 --> 00:30:28,382
We submitted the landscape

708
00:30:28,418 --> 00:30:29,119
plan in connection with the

709
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:31,519
petition. It meets ordinance

710
00:30:33,189 --> 00:30:33,823
Green Factor requirement. I

711
00:30:33,823 --> 00:30:35,359
wanted to comment on the

712
00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:37,527
existing trees that were on

713
00:30:37,527 --> 00:30:39,129
the property or that are on

714
00:30:39,129 --> 00:30:39,962
the property. We had a tree

715
00:30:39,962 --> 00:30:43,562
study done a survey and we

716
00:30:44,334 --> 00:30:46,203
survey. The survey show that

717
00:30:46,203 --> 00:30:46,903
there are 5 on this 3.4 acre

718
00:30:46,903 --> 00:30:49,303
site. They're just 5 heritage

719
00:30:49,639 --> 00:30:51,341
trees and not minimizing the

720
00:30:51,341 --> 00:30:52,242
importance of heritage trees.

721
00:30:52,242 --> 00:30:55,242
But there there just 5 of

722
00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:57,715
them. We understand that based

723
00:30:57,715 --> 00:30:59,916
upon the ordinance, there's a

724
00:30:59,916 --> 00:31:02,316
requirement to mitigate the

725
00:31:02,686 --> 00:31:03,320
removal of those treason. In

726
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,720
this case, it's permitted

727
00:31:07,458 --> 00:31:08,192
under the ordinances staff has

728
00:31:08,192 --> 00:31:09,593
indicated redevelopment of the

729
00:31:09,593 --> 00:31:12,593
site could not occur without

730
00:31:13,397 --> 00:31:13,964
it. That being said, if you

731
00:31:13,964 --> 00:31:16,964
look at the site, the

732
00:31:18,635 --> 00:31:19,636
landscape plan. The proposal

733
00:31:19,636 --> 00:31:21,538
is the plant. 96 new trees

734
00:31:21,538 --> 00:31:23,874
around the perimeter of the

735
00:31:23,874 --> 00:31:25,800
site. So the landscaping will

736
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,800
be vastly improved based upon

737
00:31:29,947 --> 00:31:32,947
what is being proposed here.

738
00:31:33,951 --> 00:31:37,551
Moving to tab. 7 tab. 6 is the

739
00:31:38,210 --> 00:31:38,722
is the tree Study tab 7. Our

740
00:31:38,722 --> 00:31:40,524
floor plans. I just wanted to

741
00:31:40,524 --> 00:31:43,524
note a couple of things

742
00:31:46,163 --> 00:31:47,965
briefly. In conversations with

743
00:31:47,965 --> 00:31:48,665
the String Town Neighborhood

744
00:31:48,665 --> 00:31:49,366
Association, they expressed a

745
00:31:49,366 --> 00:31:52,302
real interest and need for a

746
00:31:52,302 --> 00:31:53,436
place where they could store

747
00:31:53,436 --> 00:31:54,138
lot of quitman and materials

748
00:31:54,138 --> 00:31:56,974
that they use throughout the

749
00:31:56,974 --> 00:31:58,974
neighborhood to help

750
00:31:59,420 --> 00:31:59,776
residents. They asked whether

751
00:31:59,776 --> 00:32:01,578
that might be something that

752
00:32:01,578 --> 00:32:03,480
the developer would consider

753
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,548
and the developer is

754
00:32:04,548 --> 00:32:07,548
committing to that. So you'll

755
00:32:08,118 --> 00:32:08,719
see on the first floor plan,

756
00:32:08,719 --> 00:32:09,386
there's a storage area

757
00:32:09,386 --> 00:32:11,555
identified on that plan for

758
00:32:11,555 --> 00:32:13,357
use by the Neighborhood

759
00:32:13,357 --> 00:32:14,240
Association. Not quite

760
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:14,925
lockdown where it would be,

761
00:32:14,925 --> 00:32:17,561
whether it's inside the garage

762
00:32:17,561 --> 00:32:18,329
or here on the perimeter. But

763
00:32:18,329 --> 00:32:21,329
we've made that commitment in

764
00:32:21,832 --> 00:32:22,566
writing any agreement.

765
00:32:22,566 --> 00:32:24,670
Something else I want to point

766
00:32:24,670 --> 00:32:27,670
out because a number of

767
00:32:27,638 --> 00:32:28,172
residents, including members

768
00:32:28,172 --> 00:32:30,572
of the string town

769
00:32:31,409 --> 00:32:33,409
Neighborhood Association have

770
00:32:33,478 --> 00:32:35,112
talked about safety and

771
00:32:35,112 --> 00:32:35,812
security concerns. And we've

772
00:32:35,812 --> 00:32:38,812
committed to a number of

773
00:32:38,949 --> 00:32:39,884
things in the Neighborhood

774
00:32:39,884 --> 00:32:41,252
Association agreement. I like

775
00:32:41,252 --> 00:32:44,550
having the garage and building

776
00:32:44,550 --> 00:32:47,240
locked in key Fleck trying a

777
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,624
key fob access only on site

778
00:32:51,462 --> 00:32:53,862
management. But one unique

779
00:32:54,332 --> 00:32:55,660
thing which I credit counselor

780
00:32:55,660 --> 00:32:58,269
Jones for is I think this came

781
00:32:58,269 --> 00:33:00,380
from experience and other

782
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:02,438
situations that time in

783
00:33:03,908 --> 00:33:04,509
consultation with the police

784
00:33:04,509 --> 00:33:05,242
chief. She suggested we

785
00:33:05,242 --> 00:33:05,977
consider, which is to allocate

786
00:33:05,977 --> 00:33:09,447
an area of that building for a

787
00:33:09,447 --> 00:33:10,314
fitness area. And then permit

788
00:33:10,314 --> 00:33:13,250
impd officers are in this case

789
00:33:13,250 --> 00:33:15,619
as close to the university.

790
00:33:15,619 --> 00:33:16,587
University offers officers to

791
00:33:16,587 --> 00:33:19,587
use that facility free of

792
00:33:19,891 --> 00:33:20,591
charge, which work the

793
00:33:20,591 --> 00:33:22,327
petitioners committing to do

794
00:33:22,327 --> 00:33:25,327
that, at least bring some

795
00:33:27,598 --> 00:33:29,598
additional police presence.

796
00:33:30,668 --> 00:33:32,470
Also committing include in the

797
00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:34,739
development connection to impd

798
00:33:34,739 --> 00:33:35,373
be linked system. For those of

799
00:33:35,373 --> 00:33:36,440
you that don't know. I've

800
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,476
included some materials about

801
00:33:38,476 --> 00:33:40,511
the billing system behind 10,

802
00:33:40,511 --> 00:33:41,245
14. The link is a connection

803
00:33:41,245 --> 00:33:44,245
between the video cameras that

804
00:33:46,584 --> 00:33:48,319
are on site. The district's

805
00:33:48,319 --> 00:33:49,200
video cameras. And so it it

806
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,420
provides for quicker response

807
00:33:51,422 --> 00:33:54,910
time and monitoring by impd.

808
00:33:54,910 --> 00:33:55,893
That's something that I think

809
00:33:55,893 --> 00:33:59,493
is important to them and is

810
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:01,699
important too annex. Lets see

811
00:34:01,699 --> 00:34:04,699
be time tab. 8 or building

812
00:34:05,503 --> 00:34:07,903
elevations. And then behind

813
00:34:10,208 --> 00:34:12,643
Tab 9 are some renderings. The

814
00:34:12,643 --> 00:34:15,130
design of the building is

815
00:34:15,130 --> 00:34:17,182
still work in in in process.

816
00:34:17,182 --> 00:34:19,582
We had conversations with

817
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:21,253
planning and with the city

818
00:34:21,253 --> 00:34:23,653
architect City architect asked

819
00:34:24,890 --> 00:34:25,123
that we continued to develop

820
00:34:25,123 --> 00:34:27,225
the architecture as we move

821
00:34:27,225 --> 00:34:29,227
through the incentive part of

822
00:34:29,227 --> 00:34:31,627
the the approval process,

823
00:34:31,996 --> 00:34:34,650
which which we certainly will

824
00:34:34,650 --> 00:34:36,268
do. The materials are brick

825
00:34:36,268 --> 00:34:38,202
masonry and fiber cement,

826
00:34:38,202 --> 00:34:38,971
siding. Each of units will

827
00:34:38,971 --> 00:34:41,371
have outdoor space. Whether

828
00:34:45,744 --> 00:34:46,645
it's a patio or about Kenny. I

829
00:34:46,645 --> 00:34:47,412
want to talk a little bit

830
00:34:47,412 --> 00:34:50,412
about our engagement with the

831
00:34:53,850 --> 00:34:53,785
community. We know that

832
00:34:53,785 --> 00:34:56,185
they're not everybody agrees

833
00:34:57,389 --> 00:34:59,257
with this project. We

834
00:34:59,257 --> 00:34:59,958
understand that. And that's ok

835
00:34:59,958 --> 00:35:02,627
and that there are people who

836
00:35:02,627 --> 00:35:04,363
will speak against it. Well,

837
00:35:04,363 --> 00:35:06,231
what I did want to make clear

838
00:35:06,231 --> 00:35:09,167
is that we have tried to

839
00:35:09,167 --> 00:35:10,368
communicate and listen to

840
00:35:10,368 --> 00:35:12,768
everyone. It doesn't matter

841
00:35:14,139 --> 00:35:14,773
which group you're with. Spent

842
00:35:14,773 --> 00:35:16,208
time with the string town

843
00:35:16,208 --> 00:35:18,109
Neighborhood Association,

844
00:35:18,109 --> 00:35:19,411
folks. We attended a public

845
00:35:19,411 --> 00:35:21,847
meeting that they call but was

846
00:35:21,847 --> 00:35:24,247
intent was attended by

847
00:35:25,717 --> 00:35:26,651
representative both groups. We

848
00:35:26,651 --> 00:35:27,285
attended a separate

849
00:35:27,285 --> 00:35:28,954
neighborhood association

850
00:35:28,954 --> 00:35:31,354
meeting called by the

851
00:35:31,924 --> 00:35:33,258
Stringtown Now Association.

852
00:35:33,258 --> 00:35:35,527
We've responded to email

853
00:35:35,527 --> 00:35:36,227
requests for for information

854
00:35:36,227 --> 00:35:39,331
and tried to do everything we

855
00:35:39,331 --> 00:35:40,699
can. To at least show that we

856
00:35:40,699 --> 00:35:44,569
are listening in going to be a

857
00:35:44,569 --> 00:35:45,470
good neighbor and their number

858
00:35:45,470 --> 00:35:46,705
of changes that have been made

859
00:35:46,705 --> 00:35:49,641
made to the project as a

860
00:35:49,641 --> 00:35:51,810
result of those conversations.

861
00:35:51,810 --> 00:35:53,679
I mentioned earlier the

862
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:55,679
agreement between the

863
00:35:56,748 --> 00:35:57,449
petitioner in Springtown

864
00:35:57,449 --> 00:35:59,449
Neighborhood Association and

865
00:35:59,451 --> 00:36:01,219
that agreement is behind Tab

866
00:36:01,219 --> 00:36:04,219
12. It provides not only for

867
00:36:05,257 --> 00:36:05,891
the safety and security.

868
00:36:05,891 --> 00:36:06,859
Commitments that I talked

869
00:36:06,859 --> 00:36:09,259
about. The fitness facility

870
00:36:10,329 --> 00:36:11,290
available him pd and on-site

871
00:36:11,290 --> 00:36:12,464
management and those sorts of

872
00:36:12,464 --> 00:36:14,864
things. But a financial

873
00:36:17,169 --> 00:36:18,737
commitment that annex is

874
00:36:18,737 --> 00:36:19,438
making to the neighborhood to

875
00:36:19,438 --> 00:36:20,106
the neighborhood Association.

876
00:36:20,106 --> 00:36:22,208
Did they can do improvement

877
00:36:22,208 --> 00:36:23,943
projects and things like that.

878
00:36:23,943 --> 00:36:25,811
They've seen that work in

879
00:36:25,811 --> 00:36:26,612
other locations. I know the

880
00:36:26,612 --> 00:36:29,281
counselor Jones has worked on

881
00:36:29,281 --> 00:36:32,183
those types of agreements on

882
00:36:32,183 --> 00:36:35,183
projects that we've had. And

883
00:36:35,221 --> 00:36:35,988
it's it's been very beneficial

884
00:36:35,988 --> 00:36:37,757
so the point is that we've

885
00:36:37,757 --> 00:36:40,920
worked very hard to try to

886
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,492
accommodate concerns. We know

887
00:36:43,696 --> 00:36:44,397
that changes difficult, but

888
00:36:44,397 --> 00:36:47,660
we're really working to bring

889
00:36:47,660 --> 00:36:49,202
a good project to the

890
00:36:49,202 --> 00:36:51,602
neighborhood. With that. We'd

891
00:36:52,338 --> 00:36:53,500
asked for your approval of the

892
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:55,405
variances and the vacation

893
00:36:56,676 --> 00:36:57,409
that is required to permit

894
00:36:57,409 --> 00:36:59,245
this development to move

895
00:36:59,245 --> 00:37:01,614
forward and and the approval

896
00:37:01,614 --> 00:37:02,982
with we request would be

897
00:37:02,982 --> 00:37:05,251
subject to The commitment to

898
00:37:05,251 --> 00:37:08,251
perform. The traffic study has

899
00:37:08,921 --> 00:37:09,455
indicated earlier and to make

900
00:37:09,455 --> 00:37:10,560
any improvements to

901
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:10,823
infrastructure that are

902
00:37:10,823 --> 00:37:11,457
required by that traffic

903
00:37:11,457 --> 00:37:13,857
study. Questions for the

904
00:37:17,863 --> 00:37:19,863
petitioner. Hearing. None.

905
00:37:22,601 --> 00:37:23,235

minutes go for a start. I

921
00:38:44,784 --> 00:38:48,321
would like to know one thing.

922
00:38:48,321 --> 00:38:49,220

Planning Academy. And what

928
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,166
I've taught myself in the last

929
00:38:59,166 --> 00:39:01,566
year. I've spent countless

930
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:02,969
hours reading land-use plans.

931
00:39:02,969 --> 00:39:03,470
Sony ordinances and codes and

932
00:39:03,470 --> 00:39:05,870
many parts of the

933
00:39:06,940 --> 00:39:09,276
comprehensive plan as well.

941
00:39:21,210 --> 00:39:21,955
We take time away from our

942
00:39:21,955 --> 00:39:23,690
families and our lives to stay

943
00:39:23,690 --> 00:39:25,158
on top of off and changing

944
00:39:25,158 --> 00:39:25,859
hearing dates to our best to

945
00:39:25,859 --> 00:39:27,961
decipher a complicated legal

946
00:39:27,961 --> 00:39:29,396
paperwork. We get in the mail

947
00:39:29,396 --> 00:39:30,130
and take days off. Work

948
00:39:30,130 --> 00:39:31,640
without pay to be here.

949
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:31,698
Arguing against experts who

950
00:39:31,698 --> 00:39:35,298
are paid quite well to be

951
00:39:38,404 --> 00:39:42,400
here. So with that. Start with

952
00:39:42,209 --> 00:39:42,943
some findings of fact. The

953
00:39:42,943 --> 00:39:43,610
proposed vacation. He's in the

954
00:39:43,610 --> 00:39:46,100
public interest because the

955
00:39:47,347 --> 00:39:47,881
Cup. Sorry, comprehensive

956
00:39:47,881 --> 00:39:49,316
development of the

957
00:39:49,316 --> 00:39:50,984
underutilized indicating site

958
00:39:50,984 --> 00:39:51,685
would be facilitated by

959
00:39:51,685 --> 00:39:54,850
proposed development. I want

960
00:39:54,655 --> 00:39:55,389
to note here that the current

961
00:39:55,389 --> 00:39:56,560
owner of this land has engaged

962
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,456
in purposeful demolition by

963
00:39:59,259 --> 00:40:01,610
neglect. And willful

964
00:40:01,610 --> 00:40:02,596
destruction of these homes

965
00:40:02,596 --> 00:40:03,263
within the last year windows

966
00:40:03,263 --> 00:40:05,663
and siding removed, leaving

967
00:40:06,133 --> 00:40:07,670
them open to the elements.

968
00:40:07,670 --> 00:40:07,700
Copper and wiring removed.

969
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:10,700
Interior is gutted and no

970
00:40:11,538 --> 00:40:13,541
repairs done. As recently as

971
00:40:13,541 --> 00:40:14,208
2020 for many of these homes

972
00:40:14,208 --> 00:40:17,208
were occupied. One still is

973
00:40:17,878 --> 00:40:18,845
occupied by a family. As our

974
00:40:18,845 --> 00:40:20,214
neighbor has been robbed

975
00:40:20,214 --> 00:40:20,915
usable housing inventory. And

976
00:40:20,915 --> 00:40:23,317
now we're being told to start

977
00:40:23,317 --> 00:40:24,170
to benefit to our benefit.

978
00:40:24,170 --> 00:40:25,486
There's a lot of vacant land

979
00:40:25,486 --> 00:40:28,321
and string town taking land

980
00:40:28,321 --> 00:40:28,989
that has historic one single

981
00:40:28,989 --> 00:40:31,989
family homes that could be

982
00:40:39,667 --> 00:40:40,334
rehabbed. It's not are not

983
00:40:40,334 --> 00:40:42,503
against development. We are

984
00:40:42,503 --> 00:40:43,804
against development that harms

985
00:40:43,804 --> 00:40:44,705
our community. We like many

986
00:40:44,705 --> 00:40:45,339
others envisioning development

987
00:40:45,339 --> 00:40:45,973
that preserves and

988
00:40:45,973 --> 00:40:48,373
rehabilitate are poor and

989
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:52,113
working class community. Both

990
00:40:52,113 --> 00:40:52,646
affordable homes. We also

991
00:40:52,646 --> 00:40:53,347
support multifamily

992
00:40:53,347 --> 00:40:53,947
development, consistent with

993
00:40:53,947 --> 00:40:56,347
the current zoning and

994
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,860
comprehensive plan. There was

995
00:40:59,860 --> 00:40:59,753
a community meeting between

996
00:40:59,753 --> 00:41:01,322
acts group and their lawyer

997
00:41:01,322 --> 00:41:02,690
held on APRIL 13th that we

998
00:41:02,690 --> 00:41:03,390
attended testing neighborhood

999
00:41:03,390 --> 00:41:04,725
Association. We were invited

1000
00:41:04,725 --> 00:41:06,894
by the String Town

1001
00:41:06,894 --> 00:41:07,561
Neighborhood association that

1002
00:41:07,561 --> 00:41:08,262
raid on a bird associations

1003
00:41:08,262 --> 00:41:08,962
operated solely by one person

1004
00:41:08,962 --> 00:41:09,597
who does not live in our

1005
00:41:09,597 --> 00:41:11,597
neighborhood property in

1006
00:41:14,268 --> 00:41:14,935
string town. At the APRIL 13th

1007
00:41:14,935 --> 00:41:15,936
meeting they held. We were

1008
00:41:15,936 --> 00:41:17,304
informed about closed door

1009
00:41:17,304 --> 00:41:18,406
meetings between the annex

1010
00:41:18,406 --> 00:41:19,206
group String Town Neighborhood

1011
00:41:19,206 --> 00:41:20,207
Association and our city

1012
00:41:20,207 --> 00:41:20,941
County councilor that been

1013
00:41:20,941 --> 00:41:23,941
taking place since DECEMBER of

1014
00:41:24,378 --> 00:41:25,780
2025. Even though string town

1015
00:41:25,780 --> 00:41:25,780
now has been a registered

1016
00:41:25,780 --> 00:41:26,413
neighborhood association with

1017
00:41:26,413 --> 00:41:27,881
the city since before the

1018
00:41:27,881 --> 00:41:28,383
petition was filed. We were

1019
00:41:28,383 --> 00:41:30,783
left out of these

1020
00:41:32,419 --> 00:41:33,870
conversations. Stringtown now

1021
00:41:33,870 --> 00:41:35,870
another neighbors, property

1022
00:41:36,690 --> 00:41:37,391
owners, church leaders. We're

1023
00:41:37,391 --> 00:41:38,920
and landlords were all left

1024
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:38,826
these conversations that were

1025
00:41:38,826 --> 00:41:41,826
had about this development for

1026
00:41:41,896 --> 00:41:42,796
months. Last year. This

1027
00:41:42,796 --> 00:41:44,980
development shooting, this

1028
00:41:44,980 --> 00:41:44,799
part of land was denied

1029
00:41:44,799 --> 00:41:46,300
multiple times for demolition

1030
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:48,169
of these properties. Because

1031
00:41:48,169 --> 00:41:51,769
there was no plan. Then this

1032
00:41:52,173 --> 00:41:52,906
is a plan that was. Given. But

1033
00:41:52,906 --> 00:41:53,608
again, there's a lot of vacant

1034
00:41:53,608 --> 00:41:55,509
land and strengthen the could

1035
00:41:55,509 --> 00:41:56,177
be utilized for this. We don't

1036
00:41:56,177 --> 00:41:58,145
need to turn a more single

1037
00:41:58,145 --> 00:42:00,545
family homes. Because I

1038
00:42:00,948 --> 00:42:01,615
understand that not everyone

1039
00:42:01,615 --> 00:42:02,751
could attend the meeting in

1040
00:42:02,751 --> 00:42:04,786
person on APRIL 13th. I

1041
00:42:04,786 --> 00:42:06,540
personally or not every door

1042
00:42:06,540 --> 00:42:07,923
surrounding the proposed

1043
00:42:07,923 --> 00:42:09,923
development because I

1044
00:42:10,257 --> 00:42:10,992
understood sorry I spoke to

1045
00:42:10,992 --> 00:42:11,693
elderly and disabled residents

1046
00:42:11,693 --> 00:42:12,359
as well as non

1047
00:42:12,359 --> 00:42:13,610
English-speaking residents.

1048
00:42:13,610 --> 00:42:14,329
Not one person I spoke to was

1049
00:42:14,329 --> 00:42:16,331
in support. I present you with

1050
00:42:16,331 --> 00:42:19,931
a petition to that effect and

1051
00:42:19,968 --> 00:42:20,468
there are more than 35

1052
00:42:20,468 --> 00:42:21,836
signatures there.

1053
00:42:21,836 --> 00:42:23,138
Approximately 35 homes in that

1054
00:42:23,138 --> 00:42:23,771
area. You should have a map in

1055
00:42:23,771 --> 00:42:26,171
your packet showing which

1056
00:42:29,811 --> 00:42:30,478
homes I want to. A building of

1057
00:42:30,478 --> 00:42:31,112
this size is density is not

1058
00:42:31,112 --> 00:42:33,281
currently allowed by the

1059
00:42:33,281 --> 00:42:34,549
zoning for many reasons. Quite

1060
00:42:34,549 --> 00:42:36,518
simply this nearly 200

1061
00:42:36,518 --> 00:42:37,185
year-old neighborhood was not

1062
00:42:37,185 --> 00:42:39,154
designed for that number of

1063
00:42:39,154 --> 00:42:40,154
people and cars and such a

1064
00:42:40,154 --> 00:42:41,690
small area, the neighborhood

1065
00:42:41,690 --> 00:42:42,624
will suffer in numerous ways.

1066
00:42:42,624 --> 00:42:44,426
Its belt severe impacts. The

1067
00:42:44,426 --> 00:42:46,600
quality of life include

1068
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,960
numerous health and safety

1069
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:48,997
concerns, parking and traffic

1070
00:42:48,997 --> 00:42:51,997
issues, lack of privacy view

1071
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:53,335
shed some light, historic

1072
00:42:53,335 --> 00:42:54,350
integrity and environmental

1073
00:42:54,350 --> 00:42:55,360
safety, which will talk more

1074
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,636
about that in just a moment.

1075
00:43:00,675 --> 00:43:01,309
Next slide, please. As I

1076
00:43:01,309 --> 00:43:01,876
mentioned, Stringtown now

1077
00:43:01,876 --> 00:43:03,712
accepts and welcomes

1078
00:43:03,712 --> 00:43:06,112
substantial density. The near

1079
00:43:06,447 --> 00:43:07,716
West Land use plan recommends

1080
00:43:07,716 --> 00:43:11,316
that each to 15 units per acre

1081
00:43:11,386 --> 00:43:11,920
are built. The current zoning

1082
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,521
allows for low rise

1083
00:43:13,521 --> 00:43:15,521
apartments, garden apartments,

1084
00:43:16,291 --> 00:43:16,991
townhouses and row homes. We

1085
00:43:16,991 --> 00:43:18,960
have the Queen Commons, which

1086
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:19,627
includes a picture as well, a

1087
00:43:19,627 --> 00:43:20,929
low-rise apartment building

1088
00:43:20,929 --> 00:43:22,197
just a block away from the

1089
00:43:22,197 --> 00:43:22,897
site. It blends well with the

1090
00:43:22,897 --> 00:43:25,297
surrounding homes and allows

1091
00:43:25,667 --> 00:43:26,401
for density. I want to know

1092
00:43:26,401 --> 00:43:28,570
that I've been told repeatedly

1093
00:43:28,570 --> 00:43:29,771
that the city wants density

1094
00:43:29,771 --> 00:43:31,940
and despite the zoning for

1095
00:43:31,940 --> 00:43:33,107
this area, we need more

1096
00:43:33,107 --> 00:43:34,643
density. The density doesn't

1097
00:43:34,643 --> 00:43:35,343
outweigh the of our community.

1098
00:43:35,343 --> 00:43:37,112
However, this question isn't

1099
00:43:37,112 --> 00:43:37,745
if the city needs density,

1100
00:43:37,745 --> 00:43:40,145
it's whether the variance

1101
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:43,319
meets the standard. Although

1102
00:43:43,319 --> 00:43:44,185
it has been suggested that

1103
00:43:44,185 --> 00:43:44,919
string towners are against

1104
00:43:44,919 --> 00:43:46,522
affordable housing, I say that

1105
00:43:46,522 --> 00:43:47,222
that's not the case at all. We

1106
00:43:47,222 --> 00:43:50,725
are a poor and working class

1107
00:43:50,725 --> 00:43:52,928
community. And have been some

1108
00:43:52,928 --> 00:43:54,295
springtime was founded in 18.

1109
00:43:54,295 --> 00:43:57,295
88 the area in area, median

1110
00:43:57,933 --> 00:43:58,634
income level used to calculate

1111
00:43:58,634 --> 00:44:01,604
the prices for this building,

1112
00:44:01,604 --> 00:44:02,271
making it affordable does not

1113
00:44:02,271 --> 00:44:02,904
reflect actual string town

1114
00:44:02,904 --> 00:44:05,874
incomes for the near West

1115
00:44:05,874 --> 00:44:06,542
Health Impact Report which

1116
00:44:06,542 --> 00:44:08,542
documents median household

1117
00:44:09,770 --> 00:44:10,446
incomes of less than $50,000.

1118
00:44:10,446 --> 00:44:11,647
This isn't affordable housing.

1119
00:44:11,647 --> 00:44:12,281
It's gentrification and it

1120
00:44:12,281 --> 00:44:12,782
will lead to people being

1121
00:44:12,782 --> 00:44:13,849
pushed out of our

1122
00:44:13,849 --> 00:44:15,849
neighborhood. Next slide.

1123
00:44:18,787 --> 00:44:19,355
Please. There have been

1124
00:44:19,355 --> 00:44:20,489
countless reports of

1125
00:44:20,489 --> 00:44:21,156
substandard living conditions,

1126
00:44:21,156 --> 00:44:22,725
violence and many other

1127
00:44:22,725 --> 00:44:25,125
problems from their nearby

1128
00:44:25,227 --> 00:44:27,162
affordable development unit.

1129
00:44:27,162 --> 00:44:29,980
16th. He received a letter

1130
00:44:29,980 --> 00:44:30,199
from Robin Van Hine detailing

1131
00:44:30,199 --> 00:44:30,900
the extreme challenges he's

1132
00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:33,900
experienced as Burke with the

1133
00:44:33,936 --> 00:44:34,536
residents have union at 16th.

1134
00:44:34,536 --> 00:44:35,638
I've also said Ukraine

1135
00:44:35,638 --> 00:44:36,772
statistics for that location

1136
00:44:36,772 --> 00:44:39,508
from impd. This includes many

1137
00:44:39,508 --> 00:44:41,908
violent and crimes theft

1138
00:44:42,678 --> 00:44:43,379
drugs, multiple hit-and-runs

1139
00:44:43,379 --> 00:44:44,460
and officer involved shooting

1140
00:44:44,460 --> 00:44:47,460
and a nearly fatal shooting

1141
00:44:47,983 --> 00:44:48,651
just last month. Reverend

1142
00:44:48,651 --> 00:44:49,384
Hines letter and the Google

1143
00:44:49,384 --> 00:44:51,153
reviews from residents paint a

1144
00:44:51,153 --> 00:44:53,553
disturbing picture of neglect

1145
00:44:54,423 --> 00:44:55,591
Roach in mice, infestations.

1146
00:44:55,591 --> 00:44:56,258
Lack of promise services,

1147
00:44:56,258 --> 00:44:58,658
including their onsite gym

1148
00:44:58,761 --> 00:45:00,929
being inaccessible for years.

1149
00:45:00,929 --> 00:45:02,310
And generally deplorable

1150
00:45:02,310 --> 00:45:02,731
conditions throughout this

1151
00:45:02,731 --> 00:45:03,432
building will not make our

1152
00:45:03,432 --> 00:45:05,832
neighborhoods safer better in

1153
00:45:06,268 --> 00:45:08,337
any way. Been told by an ex

1154
00:45:08,337 --> 00:45:09,805
group that they learn from

1155
00:45:09,805 --> 00:45:10,539
their mistakes. But if that's

1156
00:45:10,539 --> 00:45:11,106
true, why haven't they improve

1157
00:45:11,106 --> 00:45:11,841
the conditions in the

1158
00:45:11,841 --> 00:45:14,841
building? They already own and

1159
00:45:14,977 --> 00:45:15,944
operate. In fact, crime has

1160
00:45:15,944 --> 00:45:16,512
gone up in last year's and

1161
00:45:16,512 --> 00:45:17,246
Xanax group took over

1162
00:45:17,246 --> 00:45:19,646
management of that property.

1163
00:45:23,185 --> 00:45:23,853
Next slide. Please. At this

1164
00:45:23,853 --> 00:45:24,920
time, no traffic study has

1165
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:25,687
been done to calculate how

1166
00:45:25,687 --> 00:45:26,288
this outsized development

1167
00:45:26,288 --> 00:45:28,288
would negatively affect

1168
00:45:29,458 --> 00:45:30,159
traffic of our neighborhood.

1169
00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:30,759
Recently, we have seen major

1170
00:45:30,759 --> 00:45:31,426
increase in cut through

1171
00:45:31,426 --> 00:45:31,961
traffic from the West

1172
00:45:31,961 --> 00:45:33,961
Washington transit

1173
00:45:36,432 --> 00:45:37,990
construction. And soon the

1174
00:45:37,990 --> 00:45:37,766
16th Street bridge closure

1175
00:45:37,766 --> 00:45:38,434
will also send more people

1176
00:45:38,434 --> 00:45:40,269
directly through our small

1177
00:45:40,269 --> 00:45:42,669
neighborhood. We have already

1178
00:45:42,739 --> 00:45:43,406
taxed small streets. And

1179
00:45:43,406 --> 00:45:44,390
people tend to drive really

1180
00:45:44,390 --> 00:45:46,439
fast when they're coming

1181
00:45:46,609 --> 00:45:47,943
through as well. These

1182
00:45:47,943 --> 00:45:49,812
projects are projected to take

1183
00:45:49,812 --> 00:45:50,513
at least 2 more years. That's

1184
00:45:50,513 --> 00:45:53,513
for the West, Washington and

1185
00:45:54,183 --> 00:45:57,183
16th Street Bridge. Pending up

1186
00:45:57,186 --> 00:45:58,755
to pending dpw approval. Only

1187
00:45:58,755 --> 00:45:59,455
asked c Street would be

1188
00:45:59,455 --> 00:46:00,156
improved even coin, which is

1189
00:46:00,156 --> 00:46:03,459
the street on the far left of

1190
00:46:03,459 --> 00:46:04,127
that image. And other

1191
00:46:04,127 --> 00:46:04,861
surrounding streets to bear

1192
00:46:04,861 --> 00:46:05,795
the brunt of massive increases

1193
00:46:05,795 --> 00:46:08,195
in traffic. Next slide.

1194
00:46:11,568 --> 00:46:12,268
Please. As I mentioned, this

1195
00:46:12,268 --> 00:46:12,969
historic neighborhood was not

1196
00:46:12,969 --> 00:46:14,270
designed for building of this

1197
00:46:14,270 --> 00:46:16,439
size with hundreds more

1198
00:46:16,439 --> 00:46:18,208
residents and a very small

1199
00:46:18,208 --> 00:46:18,841
block, which is why large

1200
00:46:18,841 --> 00:46:20,209
apartment complex is not

1201
00:46:20,209 --> 00:46:21,444
permitted. And the zoning

1202
00:46:21,444 --> 00:46:23,844
district, the census covering

1203
00:46:24,581 --> 00:46:28,151
this area and stringtown has a

1204
00:46:28,151 --> 00:46:30,386
population of only 1578 people

1205
00:46:30,386 --> 00:46:31,221
adding a 242 unit with up to 3

1206
00:46:31,221 --> 00:46:33,621
bedroom units. He's adding

1207
00:46:34,991 --> 00:46:36,826
hundreds more people. The

1208
00:46:36,826 --> 00:46:38,962
building moment. 35 feet for

1209
00:46:38,962 --> 00:46:40,563
height. They're asking for 50,

1210
00:46:40,563 --> 00:46:41,564
which is a 43% increase over

1211
00:46:41,564 --> 00:46:43,933
the limit. The floor area

1212
00:46:43,933 --> 00:46:45,933
ratio is 0.8, 0. They're

1213
00:46:46,603 --> 00:46:47,570
asking for more than double

1214
00:46:47,570 --> 00:46:49,438
usable. Outdoor spaces

1215
00:46:49,438 --> 00:46:51,441
required to be 75% at that

1216
00:46:51,441 --> 00:46:53,710
site. The proposing is and

1217
00:46:53,710 --> 00:46:55,578
what they're proposing is a

1218
00:46:55,578 --> 00:46:56,279
91% reduction. 5 heritage

1219
00:46:56,279 --> 00:46:57,480
trees protected under this in

1220
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:58,614
New Orleans are also in

1221
00:46:58,614 --> 00:46:59,315
danger. Once these trees are

1222
00:46:59,315 --> 00:47:01,585
removed or neighborhood will

1223
00:47:01,585 --> 00:47:03,985
suffer. The consequences for

1224
00:47:04,954 --> 00:47:06,623
decades, if not longer.

1225
00:47:06,623 --> 00:47:07,257
Saplings, do not provide the

1226
00:47:07,257 --> 00:47:09,927
benefits and often do not

1227
00:47:09,927 --> 00:47:11,361
survive into maturity.

1228
00:47:11,361 --> 00:47:12,950
Proximity to the White River

1229
00:47:12,950 --> 00:47:13,230
Park does nothing to mitigate

1230
00:47:13,230 --> 00:47:13,930
how this will affect our

1231
00:47:13,930 --> 00:47:16,330
storm. Water runoff heat

1232
00:47:20,136 --> 00:47:22,536
islands and And pollution

1233
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:23,740
mitigation, it strengthened as

1234
00:47:23,740 --> 00:47:24,440
excessive pollution stormwater

1235
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,242
runoff and he island issues

1236
00:47:25,242 --> 00:47:27,642
currently our tree canopy

1237
00:47:28,812 --> 00:47:30,113
coverage is 20% which is very

1238
00:47:30,113 --> 00:47:31,280
low for residential

1239
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:31,949
neighborhood, marking it in

1240
00:47:31,949 --> 00:47:32,583
the highest priority group,

1241
00:47:32,583 --> 00:47:34,918
according to the American

1242
00:47:34,918 --> 00:47:35,619
Forest Tree Equity score. I

1243
00:47:35,619 --> 00:47:38,619
didn't include a map offense

1244
00:47:38,789 --> 00:47:39,455
when your packet. This

1245
00:47:39,455 --> 00:47:41,240
resource shows that string

1246
00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:43,424
town is 10 degrees hotter.

1247
00:47:43,961 --> 00:47:46,290
Then the areas surrounding us

1248
00:47:46,290 --> 00:47:46,964
that includes campus. The left

1249
00:47:46,964 --> 00:47:47,664
Hawthorne, all the areas

1250
00:47:47,664 --> 00:47:50,640
directly around us 10 degrees

1251
00:47:52,536 --> 00:47:54,338
cooler. That the area that

1252
00:47:54,338 --> 00:47:55,205
they're proposing to demolish

1253
00:47:55,205 --> 00:47:55,839
is one of the luscious parts

1254
00:47:55,839 --> 00:47:56,540
of the neighborhood. When

1255
00:47:56,540 --> 00:47:57,107
you're there, you can notably

1256
00:47:57,107 --> 00:47:59,507
feel a difference in

1257
00:47:59,677 --> 00:48:00,377
temperature. If you want to

1258
00:48:00,377 --> 00:48:02,777
neighborhoods be walkable has

1259
00:48:03,147 --> 00:48:04,470
to be walkable. In actuality.

1260
00:48:04,470 --> 00:48:04,748
If you get heat stroke, every

1261
00:48:04,748 --> 00:48:07,840
time you fly, walk somewhere,

1262
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:08,885
it's not workable. In addition

1263
00:48:08,885 --> 00:48:10,120
to this many registering time

1264
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:11,788
residents have no a c were

1265
00:48:11,788 --> 00:48:12,990
just one window unit for their

1266
00:48:12,990 --> 00:48:14,570
entire home. We also have a

1267
00:48:14,570 --> 00:48:14,758
lot of elderly residents and

1268
00:48:14,758 --> 00:48:17,758
we desperately need the tree

1269
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:21,310
coverage. Allowing a 91%

1270
00:48:21,310 --> 00:48:22,660
reduction in green space and

1271
00:48:22,660 --> 00:48:22,933
demolition of 5 heritage

1272
00:48:22,933 --> 00:48:23,567
trees. Plus, countless other

1273
00:48:23,567 --> 00:48:25,369
smaller trees will have a

1274
00:48:25,369 --> 00:48:27,370
massive effect on these

1275
00:48:27,370 --> 00:48:28,138
issues. Saplings, no matter

1276
00:48:28,138 --> 00:48:29,940
how many simply cannot replace

1277
00:48:29,940 --> 00:48:32,109
the benefits offered by large

1278
00:48:32,109 --> 00:48:33,430
growth, trees. The city's own

1279
00:48:33,430 --> 00:48:33,777
infill housing guidelines,

1280
00:48:33,777 --> 00:48:35,546
specifically instruct that had

1281
00:48:35,546 --> 00:48:36,246
to treat be protected. The

1282
00:48:36,246 --> 00:48:37,381
standard is preservation, not

1283
00:48:37,381 --> 00:48:39,381
mitigation. Next slide.

1284
00:48:42,619 --> 00:48:43,520
Please. When we were asked

1285
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:44,254
temps right to design around

1286
00:48:44,254 --> 00:48:44,955
these 100 plus year old trees.

1287
00:48:44,955 --> 00:48:46,924
We were told that it couldn't

1288
00:48:46,924 --> 00:48:48,992
be done. This is simply not

1289
00:48:48,992 --> 00:48:49,593
true. It projects like

1290
00:48:49,593 --> 00:48:50,460
single-family homes or

1291
00:48:50,460 --> 00:48:51,128
townhouses are were developed

1292
00:48:51,128 --> 00:48:54,128
here. They could easily be

1293
00:48:54,865 --> 00:48:56,000
saved. They have very shown

1294
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,768
this picture has been growing

1295
00:48:57,768 --> 00:48:59,690
since before. Sometimes a part

1296
00:48:59,690 --> 00:49:00,704
of Indianapolis like some of

1297
00:49:00,704 --> 00:49:01,438
the homes on this lot. It

1298
00:49:01,438 --> 00:49:02,272
survived the great 1913, flood

1299
00:49:02,272 --> 00:49:05,272
and almost 5 string town off

1300
00:49:05,275 --> 00:49:07,110
the map. Next slide. Please.

1301
00:49:07,110 --> 00:49:08,111
The militia is not the only

1302
00:49:08,111 --> 00:49:08,846
option. There are several

1303
00:49:08,846 --> 00:49:10,981
homes being rehabbed currently

1304
00:49:10,981 --> 00:49:12,183
in string town. And here's

1305
00:49:12,183 --> 00:49:12,883
just one example from less

1306
00:49:12,883 --> 00:49:13,517
than a walk away. As you can

1307
00:49:13,517 --> 00:49:14,217
see, they had to rebuild

1308
00:49:14,217 --> 00:49:15,753
almost the entire structure.

1309
00:49:15,753 --> 00:49:19,353
They can be done. Next slide,

1310
00:49:20,658 --> 00:49:21,325
please. These are just a few

1311
00:49:21,325 --> 00:49:24,162
examples of homes that the

1312
00:49:24,162 --> 00:49:24,762
wcdc is built in the area. The

1313
00:49:24,762 --> 00:49:25,462
lower pictures on West

1314
00:49:25,462 --> 00:49:27,965
Washington, the higher one is

1315
00:49:27,965 --> 00:49:28,632
on north pushing. These are

1316
00:49:28,632 --> 00:49:29,266
affordable homes that were

1317
00:49:29,266 --> 00:49:32,866
built our area. It can be

1318
00:49:33,704 --> 00:49:34,438
done. Slide. Please. I won't

1319
00:49:34,438 --> 00:49:37,438
read everything here, but this

1320
00:49:37,575 --> 00:49:38,208
is a legal standard for any

1321
00:49:38,208 --> 00:49:38,909
other code title. 36, the

1322
00:49:38,909 --> 00:49:39,844
proposed development violates

1323
00:49:39,844 --> 00:49:40,845
every part of it. How much

1324
00:49:40,845 --> 00:49:44,445
just touch on a few points

1325
00:49:45,883 --> 00:49:46,751
next slide. Please. General

1326
00:49:46,751 --> 00:49:48,386
health and welfare. According

1327
00:49:48,386 --> 00:49:49,200
2025 near West Health Impact

1328
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,420
Assessment. We have a 40%

1329
00:49:52,657 --> 00:49:54,525
higher lung cancer rate. 28%

1330
00:49:54,525 --> 00:49:55,226
higher copd rate and 9%

1331
00:49:55,226 --> 00:49:56,661
higher. One cancer death rate

1332
00:49:56,661 --> 00:49:59,564
than the county average. We

1333
00:49:59,564 --> 00:50:00,664
need these heritage trees and

1334
00:50:00,664 --> 00:50:01,399
the infill housing guidelines

1335
00:50:01,399 --> 00:50:02,433
as preservation of significant

1336
00:50:02,433 --> 00:50:03,968
trees as direct community

1337
00:50:03,968 --> 00:50:06,170
health and welfare benefit.

1338
00:50:06,170 --> 00:50:09,170
Stepping down the height of

1339
00:50:10,410 --> 00:50:10,775
the building at site. Does not

1340
00:50:10,775 --> 00:50:11,409
make it the issues of how high

1341
00:50:11,409 --> 00:50:13,809
it something different. I

1342
00:50:18,820 --> 00:50:19,830
apologize. The impact on

1343
00:50:19,830 --> 00:50:19,750
adjacent property stepped on.

1344
00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:20,351
One side is not nullify the

1345
00:50:20,351 --> 00:50:21,653
public assets like the

1346
00:50:21,653 --> 00:50:22,453
protective you sheds that will

1347
00:50:22,453 --> 00:50:24,455
be obstructed. Not only will

1348
00:50:24,455 --> 00:50:26,224
the views of downtown skyline

1349
00:50:26,224 --> 00:50:26,958
be obstructed. This building

1350
00:50:26,958 --> 00:50:27,525
also block substantial amounts

1351
00:50:27,525 --> 00:50:28,159
of sunlight from the

1352
00:50:28,159 --> 00:50:30,159
surrounding properties as

1353
00:50:31,996 --> 00:50:33,531
well. Buildings and local

1354
00:50:33,531 --> 00:50:34,198
residential streets and Public

1355
00:50:34,198 --> 00:50:34,832
seltzer saucy and want the

1356
00:50:34,832 --> 00:50:36,832
most conservative height

1357
00:50:38,690 --> 00:50:38,769
restrictions. A violation.

1358
00:50:38,769 --> 00:50:40,710
Number 3, peculiar condition

1359
00:50:40,710 --> 00:50:42,173
of the land. There are. This

1360
00:50:42,173 --> 00:50:42,773
is a standard residential lot.

1361
00:50:42,773 --> 00:50:45,173
There are no particular

1362
00:50:46,577 --> 00:50:48,790
conditions. Violation for

1363
00:50:48,790 --> 00:50:48,813
unnecessary hardship. The only

1364
00:50:48,813 --> 00:50:51,616
hardship is that the developer

1365
00:50:51,616 --> 00:50:52,283
cannot build 241 units without

1366
00:50:52,283 --> 00:50:54,683
variants. That's a business

1367
00:50:55,860 --> 00:50:58,860
preference. Not a hardship. My

1368
00:51:01,193 --> 00:51:02,427
last slide. 6. Violation.

1369
00:51:02,427 --> 00:51:03,928
Number 5, the consistency with

1370
00:51:03,928 --> 00:51:04,562
the comprehensive plan. Every

1371
00:51:04,562 --> 00:51:05,897
layer of Indianapolis is

1372
00:51:05,897 --> 00:51:07,431
planning framework says no to

1373
00:51:07,431 --> 00:51:08,132
this development. The pattern

1374
00:51:08,132 --> 00:51:08,834
book recommends 5 to 15 units

1375
00:51:08,834 --> 00:51:11,870
per acre as well as the near

1376
00:51:11,870 --> 00:51:13,871
West. Near West Land use plan

1377
00:51:13,871 --> 00:51:15,871
recommending 8 to 15 this

1378
00:51:18,110 --> 00:51:18,910
project pros a 71. The

1379
00:51:18,910 --> 00:51:19,544
original center caps

1380
00:51:19,544 --> 00:51:20,244
residential density at 26

1381
00:51:20,244 --> 00:51:21,847
units per acre. This project

1382
00:51:21,847 --> 00:51:24,847
is nearly 3 times that. Until

1383
00:51:25,183 --> 00:51:26,117
housing guidelines. State that

1384
00:51:26,117 --> 00:51:27,919
placing smaller homes next to

1385
00:51:27,919 --> 00:51:29,720
to significantly larger scale

1386
00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:30,355
structures reduces affordable

1387
00:51:30,355 --> 00:51:31,890
housing stock and limits

1388
00:51:31,890 --> 00:51:32,491
long-term residents ability to

1389
00:51:32,491 --> 00:51:33,224
say neighborhood. Addition to

1390
00:51:33,224 --> 00:51:36,224
this, we've been told that

1391
00:51:38,263 --> 00:51:39,430
next group. Hopes to have

1392
00:51:39,430 --> 00:51:40,631
short-term residents. They

1393
00:51:40,631 --> 00:51:41,266
want people have high turnover

1394
00:51:41,266 --> 00:51:42,000
rate which leads to more

1395
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,000
people. Just neighbor has pass

1396
00:51:46,972 --> 00:51:49,372
through. And finally. Project

1397
00:51:50,709 --> 00:51:51,643
can do that contradicts all

1398
00:51:51,643 --> 00:51:52,510
standards. Considering these

1399
00:51:52,510 --> 00:51:53,211
matters. Become the request of

1400
00:51:53,211 --> 00:51:54,179
you deny the approval of this

1401
00:51:54,179 --> 00:51:57,179
project out right? Last slide,

1402
00:51:59,218 --> 00:51:59,985
please. Thank you for your

1403
00:51:59,985 --> 00:52:00,652
time. I'd like to finish with

1404
00:52:00,652 --> 00:52:03,822
a quote from the near West

1405
00:52:03,822 --> 00:52:05,724

either newly constructed to

1410
00:52:10,896 --> 00:52:12,698
compliment this Boulder

1411

Yes, PRESIDENT Commissioner,

go ahead. You mention of

1420
00:52:36,688 --> 00:52:37,356
pattern book. Yes. Do you have

1421
00:52:37,356 --> 00:52:40,356
that pattern book? You have

1422
00:52:40,792 --> 00:52:41,493
reference to it. I'm We've I

1423
00:52:41,493 --> 00:52:45,930
believe of them to look into

1424
00:52:54,906 --> 00:52:56,242
it.

1425
00:52:56,242 --> 00:52:57,409
I only have a near West.

1426
00:52:57,409 --> 00:52:58,477
Thank you. Play with me today.

1429
00:53:03,115 --> 00:53:05,830
Trump. Remember from my

1430
00:53:05,830 --> 00:53:05,751
presented last time about a

1431
00:53:05,751 --> 00:53:06,452
month, totally fine. Have a

1432
00:53:06,452 --> 00:53:07,860
separate question for staff.

1433
00:53:07,860 --> 00:53:08,920
But just to know that it

1434
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,890
exists is important. So thank

1435
00:53:10,890 --> 00:53:10,790
you for having reference to

1436
00:53:10,790 --> 00:53:14,990
it. I think that will come in

1437
00:53:17,930 --> 00:53:20,930
handy later. Thank you. Just

1438
00:53:25,505 --> 00:53:28,505

1442
00:53:37,850 --> 00:53:38,785
the address there. Those are

1443
00:53:38,785 --> 00:53:39,485
just during that time,

1444
00:53:39,485 --> 00:53:40,352
obviously. When it was built

1445
00:53:40,352 --> 00:53:41,587

1458
00:54:14,954 --> 00:54:15,621
PRESIDENT Done and

1459
00:54:15,621 --> 00:54:17,323
commissioners and thank you

1460
00:54:17,323 --> 00:54:18,257
for volunteering your time on

1461
00:54:18,257 --> 00:54:20,657
nbc Commission. I appreciate

1462
00:54:22,428 --> 00:54:25,464
your service to our city. As

1463
00:54:25,464 --> 00:54:26,632
you've we have supporters and

1464
00:54:26,632 --> 00:54:27,333
remind traitors and this is a

1465
00:54:27,333 --> 00:54:28,534
big decision that you have to

1466
00:54:28,534 --> 00:54:31,534
make before us. And we've

1467
00:54:32,138 --> 00:54:32,838
spent lots of time in our

1468
00:54:32,838 --> 00:54:35,838
neighborhood on this in this

1469
00:54:36,342 --> 00:54:37,420
came before us. And this is

1470
00:54:37,420 --> 00:54:39,411
not new to you. I spent lots

1471
00:54:39,411 --> 00:54:40,113
of time with my constituents

1472
00:54:40,113 --> 00:54:40,847
store, knocking, making phone

1473
00:54:40,847 --> 00:54:42,715
calls to find out what's

1474
00:54:42,715 --> 00:54:45,510
important to my community. So

1475
00:54:45,510 --> 00:54:47,119
when this came before me. The

1476
00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:48,521
project that is before you

1477
00:54:48,521 --> 00:54:51,590
today is not the project that

1478
00:54:51,590 --> 00:54:55,190
we started. Wes and the annex

1479
00:54:55,395 --> 00:54:56,162
group and Misha took a lot of

1480
00:54:56,162 --> 00:54:57,963
feedback and they've really

1481
00:54:57,963 --> 00:55:00,333
changed the project. And you,

1482
00:55:00,333 --> 00:55:02,235
as you've heard about crime,

1483
00:55:02,235 --> 00:55:04,336
for instance, the crime

1484
00:55:04,336 --> 00:55:05,472
situation. That's where that

1485
00:55:05,472 --> 00:55:07,507
impd with the fitness room

1486
00:55:07,507 --> 00:55:08,408
came. And so they had a crime

1487
00:55:08,408 --> 00:55:12,800
situation. And I heard lots of

1488
00:55:12,790 --> 00:55:12,846
feedback from my constituents

1489
00:55:12,846 --> 00:55:14,480
about crime. When I would door

1490
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:15,348
knock and I would call and a

1491
00:55:15,348 --> 00:55:18,348
string town crime with crime

1492
00:55:18,685 --> 00:55:20,353
wasn't a situation. So that's

1493
00:55:20,353 --> 00:55:22,622
why I worked with impd and the

1494
00:55:22,622 --> 00:55:23,523
campus police to get a

1495
00:55:23,523 --> 00:55:24,858
presence and a string town

1496
00:55:24,858 --> 00:55:25,559
with the fitness room so is

1497
00:55:25,559 --> 00:55:27,559
mutually benefits beneficial

1498
00:55:29,129 --> 00:55:30,864
to the community and to the

1499
00:55:30,864 --> 00:55:31,631
police department. And so that

1500
00:55:31,631 --> 00:55:32,365
put a present. So the

1501
00:55:32,365 --> 00:55:33,660
situation that they're talking

1502
00:55:33,660 --> 00:55:34,767
about that's happening at the

1503
00:55:34,767 --> 00:55:36,469
other one we hope will not

1504
00:55:36,469 --> 00:55:39,469
happen. We're trying to find

1505
00:55:40,140 --> 00:55:40,740
situations that we can fix. So

1506
00:55:40,740 --> 00:55:42,242
when I'm talking to my

1507
00:55:42,242 --> 00:55:43,543
constituents and they said

1508
00:55:43,543 --> 00:55:46,112
parking is an issue. We worked

1509
00:55:46,112 --> 00:55:48,115
with annex group mitigate the

1510
00:55:48,115 --> 00:55:48,815
parking situation. So we

1511
00:55:48,815 --> 00:55:51,815
really worked hard over the

1512
00:55:52,352 --> 00:55:53,520
last 6 to 7 months talking to

1513
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,452
the constituents, talking to

1514
00:55:55,755 --> 00:55:58,391
the folks to say, okay, what I

1515
00:55:58,391 --> 00:55:59,459
know. I understand that when

1516
00:55:59,459 --> 00:56:01,610
we bring in something like

1517
00:56:01,610 --> 00:56:02,295
this, this is going to be a

1518
00:56:02,295 --> 00:56:04,965
sacrifice. This is going to be

1519
00:56:04,965 --> 00:56:07,634
a strain on the residents. And

1520
00:56:07,634 --> 00:56:08,334
so how can we work with the

1521
00:56:08,334 --> 00:56:09,469
community benefits agreement

1522
00:56:09,469 --> 00:56:10,837
to get it in writing to come

1523
00:56:10,837 --> 00:56:14,941
before you so that you all can

1524
00:56:14,941 --> 00:56:16,877
hold them accountable. To help

1525
00:56:16,877 --> 00:56:17,811
the community have some sort

1526
00:56:17,811 --> 00:56:19,546
of benefit for the sacrifice

1527
00:56:19,546 --> 00:56:21,140
that they're gonna have to go

1528
00:56:21,140 --> 00:56:22,649
through. You know, whether

1529
00:56:22,649 --> 00:56:24,651
it's pave roads. We heard

1530
00:56:24,651 --> 00:56:26,286
about walkability soaps to get

1531
00:56:26,286 --> 00:56:27,200
some sidewalks to get some

1532
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,200
alleys alleys when I'm walking

1533
00:56:30,590 --> 00:56:31,191
and I'm knocking doors, its

1534
00:56:31,191 --> 00:56:31,658
infrastructure, its

1535
00:56:31,658 --> 00:56:32,392
infrastructure,

1536
00:56:32,392 --> 00:56:34,392
infrastructure, infrastructure

1537
00:56:35,762 --> 00:56:36,664
that I hear about the most. So

1538
00:56:36,664 --> 00:56:37,597
for me, I'm talking about

1539
00:56:37,597 --> 00:56:39,997
alleys, its sidewalks, its

1540
00:56:40,767 --> 00:56:43,767
roads to get repaired. For

1541
00:56:44,604 --> 00:56:45,639
that financial component. I'm

1542
00:56:45,639 --> 00:56:46,873
not benefiting from that.

1543
00:56:46,873 --> 00:56:47,674
Frank. Staples isn't

1544
00:56:47,674 --> 00:56:48,375
benefiting from that. It's the

1545
00:56:48,375 --> 00:56:51,375
neighborhood. We heard that a

1546
00:56:51,511 --> 00:56:52,913
resident needs. Air

1547
00:56:52,913 --> 00:56:54,180
conditioners. Residents in

1548
00:56:54,180 --> 00:56:56,250
string towns that don't have

1549
00:56:56,250 --> 00:56:57,784
air conditioners. So that's

1550
00:56:57,784 --> 00:56:59,553
one thing that that money can

1551
00:56:59,553 --> 00:57:01,522
go back to directly into the

1552
00:57:01,522 --> 00:57:03,922
neighborhood to help those

1553
00:57:04,859 --> 00:57:05,926
residents, things that we take

1554
00:57:05,926 --> 00:57:06,526
for granted and help those

1555
00:57:06,526 --> 00:57:07,194
residents get some air

1556
00:57:07,194 --> 00:57:10,194
conditioners to get a real

1557
00:57:10,898 --> 00:57:11,966
fixed. That benefit is going

1558
00:57:11,966 --> 00:57:13,968
to go directly back into that

1559
00:57:13,968 --> 00:57:15,569
neighborhood to help those

1560
00:57:15,569 --> 00:57:16,269
residents. And so that's

1561
00:57:16,269 --> 00:57:17,405
something that I felt that we

1562
00:57:17,405 --> 00:57:18,906
were really I was really proud

1563
00:57:18,906 --> 00:57:20,408
of to help work with an x over

1564
00:57:20,408 --> 00:57:22,808
those last 6 months working

1565
00:57:24,110 --> 00:57:24,745
with that neighborhood to get

1566
00:57:24,745 --> 00:57:27,515
that in writing to come before

1567
00:57:27,515 --> 00:57:28,549
you to let you all hopefully

1568
00:57:28,549 --> 00:57:30,951
help us get those resources

1569
00:57:30,951 --> 00:57:31,919
for that neighborhood. And as

1570
00:57:31,919 --> 00:57:34,550
you all know, we have a

1571
00:57:34,550 --> 00:57:35,220
housing crisis in

1572
00:57:35,220 --> 00:57:35,723
Indianapolis. And so this is

1573
00:57:35,723 --> 00:57:38,590
this is something that we can

1574
00:57:38,590 --> 00:57:40,528
put on the map if you listen

1575
00:57:40,528 --> 00:57:41,262
to the hearing examiner

1576
00:57:41,262 --> 00:57:44,262
testimony, there was some very

1577
00:57:44,832 --> 00:57:46,300
offensive words said. Really

1578
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:46,968
hurt my heart from the rim

1579
00:57:46,968 --> 00:57:48,269
months. Traitors, how they

1580
00:57:48,269 --> 00:57:50,710
felt about this project. I

1581
00:57:50,710 --> 00:57:52,106
certainly don't feel that way.

1582
00:57:52,106 --> 00:57:52,840
The other neighborhood

1583
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:53,541
association does not feel that

1584
00:57:53,541 --> 00:57:55,776
way. The petitioner does not

1585
00:57:55,776 --> 00:57:57,711
feel that way. I feel this is

1586
00:57:57,711 --> 00:57:58,412
a good project. I feel it's

1587
00:57:58,412 --> 00:58:02,120
something that we can be very

1588
00:58:02,750 --> 00:58:04,118
proud of inner city. Really

1589
00:58:04,118 --> 00:58:04,752
humbly asking for your your

1590
00:58:04,752 --> 00:58:07,152
support because we worked

1591
00:58:07,955 --> 00:58:08,655
really hard. And I do know

1592
00:58:08,655 --> 00:58:09,557
it's a sacrifice for the

1593
00:58:09,557 --> 00:58:12,292
neighborhood, but I think the

1594
00:58:12,292 --> 00:58:12,960
community benefits agreement

1595
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:13,795
will help ease some of that

1596
00:58:13,795 --> 00:58:15,329
pain that the construction is

1597
00:58:15,329 --> 00:58:16,898
going to be. And that

1598
00:58:16,898 --> 00:58:20,301
footprint is going to be. So

1599
00:58:20,301 --> 00:58:23,301
thank you very much. Questions

1600
00:58:24,605 --> 00:58:25,672
for counsel Jones for Yes,

1601
00:58:25,672 --> 00:58:26,441
president doing council Jones,

1602
00:58:26,441 --> 00:58:29,576
thank you for being Just a

1603
00:58:29,576 --> 00:58:30,645
couple of questions about the

1604
00:58:30,645 --> 00:58:32,379
other large-scale development

1605
00:58:32,379 --> 00:58:33,815
center in the general

1606
00:58:33,815 --> 00:58:36,751
vicinity. Yes, it looks like

1607
00:58:36,751 --> 00:58:37,685
there's one on 10th in White

1608
00:58:37,685 --> 00:58:40,850
River. There's word Michigan

1609
00:58:40,921 --> 00:58:41,755
Street in White River. So this

1610
00:58:41,755 --> 00:58:44,225
complained of crime. That's a

1611
00:58:44,225 --> 00:58:46,625
little further up. 2 words.

1612
00:58:47,628 --> 00:58:50,628
Belmont Beach area. What sort

1613
00:58:50,831 --> 00:58:51,533
of effect have you seen in the

1614
00:58:51,533 --> 00:58:53,933
closer apartment buildings to

1615
00:58:54,569 --> 00:58:56,904
this proposed development? So

1616
00:58:56,904 --> 00:59:00,504
what mean by effect. So you've

1617
00:59:00,742 --> 00:59:01,643
got 2 very large apartment

1618
00:59:01,643 --> 00:59:02,377
style developments in near

1619
00:59:02,377 --> 00:59:05,377
blocks away from this proposed

1620
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,280
one. Different developers. I'm

1621
00:59:09,830 --> 00:59:11,186
sure. But are you seeing

1622
00:59:11,186 --> 00:59:13,822
increases in crime or any of

1623
00:59:13,822 --> 00:59:14,856
these other reports at the

1624
00:59:14,856 --> 00:59:15,924
closer ones to versus

1625
00:59:15,924 --> 00:59:18,126
complaining about a single

1626
00:59:18,126 --> 00:59:19,828
develop, it's just on my

1627
00:59:19,828 --> 00:59:21,196
district is a different

1628
00:59:21,196 --> 00:59:21,796
district line. However, that's

1629
00:59:21,796 --> 00:59:22,497
where that conversation

1630
00:59:22,497 --> 00:59:24,332
started. I went to the police

1631
00:59:24,332 --> 00:59:26,501
commander with that and I

1632
00:59:26,501 --> 00:59:27,669
said, how can we change this?

1633
00:59:27,669 --> 00:59:29,571
What can we do? There are the

1634
00:59:29,571 --> 00:59:31,571
situations within these

1635
00:59:31,706 --> 00:59:32,440
apartment complexes and how do

1636
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,709
we change that? And one of the

1637
00:59:34,709 --> 00:59:35,844
things that I think you heard

1638
00:59:35,844 --> 00:59:38,680
about was security. So its

1639
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:39,347
security getting into the

1640
00:59:39,347 --> 00:59:41,383
building, changing the way

1641
00:59:41,383 --> 00:59:42,150
that you have to have a key

1642
00:59:42,150 --> 00:59:43,184
fob to get into this. The

1643
00:59:43,184 --> 00:59:44,586
apartment it was the parking

1644
00:59:44,586 --> 00:59:46,421
was internal and then it was

1645
00:59:46,421 --> 00:59:48,523
police site. So if you see a

1646
00:59:48,523 --> 00:59:50,525
police car, whether they're on

1647
00:59:50,525 --> 00:59:51,793
duty or not in the presence

1648
00:59:51,793 --> 00:59:53,528
around the apartment complex

1649
00:59:53,528 --> 00:59:54,162
that just changes your

1650
00:59:54,162 --> 00:59:54,963
mentality, right? You're

1651
00:59:54,963 --> 00:59:55,697
probably not gonna commit a

1652
00:59:55,697 --> 00:59:56,398
crime. If you see a police car

1653
00:59:56,398 --> 00:59:59,398
and that's where the fitness

1654
01:00:02,103 --> 01:00:04,405
room. You came into play. And

1655
01:00:04,405 --> 01:00:05,406
so Commander Foley and I had

1656
01:00:05,406 --> 01:00:06,608
this conversation about

1657
01:00:06,608 --> 01:00:08,343
starting that process, he said

1658
01:00:08,343 --> 01:00:09,377
he'd seen at work in

1659
01:00:09,377 --> 01:00:10,111
different. So I started in a

1660
01:00:10,111 --> 01:00:12,511
different complex apartment in

1661
01:00:12,881 --> 01:00:13,581
a different area of my

1662
01:00:13,581 --> 01:00:14,316
district. And he said, let's

1663
01:00:14,316 --> 01:00:15,950
start doing this and let's see

1664
01:00:15,950 --> 01:00:17,218
if that helps. And so it's

1665
01:00:17,218 --> 01:00:21,123
just an idea that we had in

1666
01:00:21,123 --> 01:00:21,756
other areas of my district.

1667
01:00:21,756 --> 01:00:23,910
They're asking for police

1668
01:00:23,910 --> 01:00:24,826
presence with police cars and

1669
01:00:24,826 --> 01:00:26,961
were seen. I did in assisted

1670
01:00:26,961 --> 01:00:27,896
living on the east side of my

1671
01:00:27,896 --> 01:00:28,530
district and they said you

1672
01:00:28,530 --> 01:00:29,631
would not they're having

1673
01:00:29,631 --> 01:00:32,310
packages stolen and things

1674
01:00:32,801 --> 01:00:33,435
like that. And they Kristin,

1675
01:00:33,435 --> 01:00:34,135
you will not believe the

1676
01:00:34,135 --> 01:00:36,338
difference that it made just

1677
01:00:36,338 --> 01:00:38,374
by having a police car in the

1678
01:00:38,374 --> 01:00:39,375
parking lot. Things have

1679
01:00:39,375 --> 01:00:40,975
completely stopped. I can't

1680
01:00:40,975 --> 01:00:41,610
tell you about like those 2

1681
01:00:41,610 --> 01:00:42,344
apartments just because I

1682
01:00:42,344 --> 01:00:44,580
don't have the same connection

1683
01:00:44,580 --> 01:00:45,648
because it is in my district.

1684
01:00:45,648 --> 01:00:46,548
But I can tell you for the

1685
01:00:46,548 --> 01:00:48,284
things that I've done, it is

1686
01:00:48,284 --> 01:00:49,351
completely change the

1687
01:00:49,351 --> 01:00:52,351
mentality. When you have a

1688
01:00:53,540 --> 01:00:54,990
police car in the presence in

1689
01:00:54,990 --> 01:00:57,593
that area, things to slow

1690
01:00:57,593 --> 01:00:58,294
down. And so that's we came.

1691
01:00:58,294 --> 01:00:59,261
We thought this will work. It

1692
01:00:59,261 --> 01:01:01,661
gives them the opportunity

1693
01:01:02,131 --> 01:01:03,265
they can go work out for and

1694
01:01:03,265 --> 01:01:04,333
then there's a place kind that

1695
01:01:04,333 --> 01:01:05,134
vicinity. Also then there's a

1696
01:01:05,134 --> 01:01:06,680
police officer in the

1697
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,680
apartment building, right?

1698
01:01:08,203 --> 01:01:09,105
Even if they're off duty, they

1699
01:01:09,105 --> 01:01:09,772
still are in that apartment

1700
01:01:09,772 --> 01:01:12,772
building and also gives the

1701
01:01:13,575 --> 01:01:14,243
residents a sense of security,

1702
01:01:14,243 --> 01:01:17,843
ok, Ben, work. What are the

1703
01:01:17,846 --> 01:01:18,547
boundaries of your district?

1704
01:01:18,547 --> 01:01:21,183
Boundaries of my district. So

1705
01:01:21,183 --> 01:01:21,951
I go to I go to Troy ago, it

1706
01:01:21,951 --> 01:01:22,651
wavers over their Michigan. It

1707
01:01:22,651 --> 01:01:26,622
kind of goes up and down. But

1708
01:01:26,622 --> 01:01:28,590
I do go to Washington Street,

1709
01:01:28,590 --> 01:01:29,325
but I go a little bit north. I

1710
01:01:29,325 --> 01:01:29,992
do have stern coming to have a

1711
01:01:29,992 --> 01:01:30,726
little bit of Hahnville and

1712
01:01:30,726 --> 01:01:31,426
then I go all the way to the

1713
01:01:31,426 --> 01:01:34,396
criminal Justice Center go to

1714
01:01:34,396 --> 01:01:34,997
Belmont. So it's kind of like

1715
01:01:34,997 --> 01:01:36,699
triangle and I have one

1716
01:01:36,699 --> 01:01:39,699
precinct in Perry. Ok? Thank

1717
01:01:41,437 --> 01:01:42,700
Thank you. Questions for

1718
01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:44,700
counsel. Quick question,

1719
01:01:48,243 --> 01:01:50,479
please sure. You talked about

1720
01:01:50,479 --> 01:01:52,414
donation. For air

1721
01:01:52,414 --> 01:01:53,148
conditioners, repairs, things

1722
01:01:53,148 --> 01:01:54,249
like that to the neighbors. Is

1723
01:01:54,249 --> 01:01:55,484
there a plan in place or there

1724
01:01:55,484 --> 01:01:56,118
be some sort of plan in place

1725
01:01:56,118 --> 01:01:58,518
for the administration of

1726
01:02:00,456 --> 01:02:01,156
that? That would be the

1727
01:02:01,156 --> 01:02:02,491
neighborhood association. It

1728
01:02:02,491 --> 01:02:03,192
would go through the

1729
01:02:03,192 --> 01:02:03,826
neighborhood Association and

1730
01:02:03,826 --> 01:02:04,794
the have a plan in place.

1731
01:02:04,794 --> 01:02:05,961
Probably the most that would

1732
01:02:05,961 --> 01:02:06,595
not have anything. I will not

1733
01:02:06,595 --> 01:02:07,829
touch any money will have

1734
01:02:07,829 --> 01:02:09,264
anything to do with me. The

1735
01:02:09,264 --> 01:02:13,464
have a plan in place for that.

1736
01:02:15,437 --> 01:02:16,138
Thank you. Commissioners to

1737
01:02:16,138 --> 01:02:17,390
give that we have kind of to

1738
01:02:17,390 --> 01:02:17,774
neighborhood associations here

1739
01:02:17,774 --> 01:02:21,277
who would have been a straight

1740
01:02:21,277 --> 01:02:22,344
path. That they and we are.

1741
01:02:22,344 --> 01:02:23,110
The community benefits

1742
01:02:23,110 --> 01:02:23,645
agreement was made with the

1743
01:02:23,645 --> 01:02:25,645
string town Neighborhood

1744
01:02:27,950 --> 01:02:29,950
Association. Final questions

1745
01:02:32,554 --> 01:02:33,222
for counsel. Yeah, just one

1746
01:02:33,222 --> 01:02:36,222
additional one. There was a

1747
01:02:37,593 --> 01:02:39,561
mention about. The

1748
01:02:39,561 --> 01:02:40,262
communication timeline. So

1749
01:02:40,262 --> 01:02:43,862
with the string town now not

1750
01:02:43,967 --> 01:02:46,690
being communicated with in

1751
01:02:46,690 --> 01:02:48,671
this same sort of fashion or

1752
01:02:48,671 --> 01:02:49,372
poor timing the string Town

1753
01:02:49,372 --> 01:02:50,390
neighborhood Association was

1754
01:02:50,390 --> 01:02:52,750
communicated with. Can you

1755
01:02:52,750 --> 01:02:55,675
speak on why that occurred? So

1756
01:02:56,790 --> 01:02:56,913
I can tell you from my aspect.

1757
01:02:56,913 --> 01:02:57,614
So when say it broke off,

1758
01:02:57,614 --> 01:02:58,915
Stringtown now broke off from

1759
01:02:58,915 --> 01:03:00,884
String Town Neighborhood

1760
01:03:00,884 --> 01:03:01,684
Association. I made an effort

1761
01:03:01,684 --> 01:03:04,120
to reach out and have a

1762
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,550
meeting with string town. Now,

1763
01:03:06,550 --> 01:03:07,990
folks and I had a time and a

1764
01:03:07,990 --> 01:03:08,925
place to meet with them to

1765
01:03:08,925 --> 01:03:09,626
continue the conversation

1766
01:03:09,626 --> 01:03:12,996
because I am the counselor. I

1767
01:03:12,996 --> 01:03:13,763
represent everyone. And we had

1768
01:03:13,763 --> 01:03:14,764
and meeting time and a place

1769
01:03:14,764 --> 01:03:16,990
like to continue those

1770
01:03:16,990 --> 01:03:16,833
conversations and they

1771
01:03:16,833 --> 01:03:17,667
canceled that and chose not to

1772
01:03:17,667 --> 01:03:20,670
continue the conversation with

1773
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,242
me. So they have after. The

1774
01:03:26,242 --> 01:03:27,710
last meeting that we had, they

1775
01:03:27,710 --> 01:03:28,645
have reached out sense and I

1776
01:03:28,645 --> 01:03:30,113
have responded and hopefully

1777
01:03:30,113 --> 01:03:31,581
we'll get it back going again.

1778
01:03:31,581 --> 01:03:33,482
But they chose not to meet

1779
01:03:33,482 --> 01:03:38,282
with me. So that was not on my

1780
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:41,724
aunt. But I cannot I can't for

1781
01:03:41,724 --> 01:03:42,358
the other drama that's going

1782
01:03:42,358 --> 01:03:44,560
on in the neighborhood. I

1783
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,280
can't. Therefore, Kessler,

1784
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:47,463
thank you for being here.

1785
01:03:47,463 --> 01:03:48,640
Absolutely. Appreciate your

1786
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:49,465
testimony. Any other

1787
01:03:49,465 --> 01:03:52,465
questions? I think we're good.

1788
01:03:55,104 --> 01:03:57,974
Think it. Kathleen. Thank you,

1789
01:03:57,974 --> 01:03:59,750
PRESIDENT. Don't members of

1790
01:03:59,750 --> 01:04:00,910
the commission staff is

1791
01:04:00,910 --> 01:04:03,310
recommending approval of both

1792
01:04:03,746 --> 01:04:05,682
variances and the vacations

1793
01:04:05,682 --> 01:04:06,583
you'll frequently hear staff

1794
01:04:06,583 --> 01:04:07,984
reference to come. The

1795
01:04:07,984 --> 01:04:10,384
comprehensive plan and the

1796
01:04:11,488 --> 01:04:15,880
pattern book in this case this

1797
01:04:15,425 --> 01:04:17,160
area is under, has and MR.

1798
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:17,895
We've been in which mentioned

1799
01:04:17,895 --> 01:04:20,895
it near West Side neighborhood

1800
01:04:21,131 --> 01:04:22,232
land use plan. There are

1801
01:04:22,232 --> 01:04:24,632
approximately 9 of those plans

1802
01:04:25,202 --> 01:04:26,569
that are scattered throughout

1803
01:04:26,569 --> 01:04:29,272
county. Those just for that

1804
01:04:29,272 --> 01:04:29,973
neighborhood, there's some

1805
01:04:29,973 --> 01:04:30,641
neighborhood plans. That's a

1806
01:04:30,641 --> 01:04:33,641
plan that we're looking at

1807
01:04:33,910 --> 01:04:36,790
now. It does not include the

1808
01:04:36,790 --> 01:04:38,150
pattern book because

1809
01:04:38,150 --> 01:04:39,716
frequently excuse me, those

1810
01:04:39,716 --> 01:04:41,716
plans. We'll include

1811
01:04:43,454 --> 01:04:44,188
development standards and

1812
01:04:44,188 --> 01:04:46,588
guidelines in those individual

1813
01:04:47,191 --> 01:04:49,591
plans. And again, this

1814
01:04:49,793 --> 01:04:52,950
particular location is not

1815
01:04:52,950 --> 01:04:55,950
located It is located within

1816
01:04:55,432 --> 01:04:56,990
one of those sub area plans,

1817
01:04:56,990 --> 01:04:58,268
which is the near West Side

1818
01:04:58,268 --> 01:05:00,304
neighborhood land use plan.

1819
01:05:00,304 --> 01:05:01,205
And I do know that staff works

1820
01:05:01,205 --> 01:05:01,872
very closely with

1821
01:05:01,872 --> 01:05:02,672
neighborhoods as they have

1822
01:05:02,672 --> 01:05:05,720
developed those plans. But

1823
01:05:07,644 --> 01:05:10,644
again. Becomes part of the

1824
01:05:10,714 --> 01:05:11,582
comprehensive plan, but it's

1825
01:05:11,582 --> 01:05:12,282
separate from the

1826
01:05:12,282 --> 01:05:14,682
comprehensive plan because a

1827
01:05:18,422 --> 01:05:21,391
specific for that area. The

1828
01:05:21,391 --> 01:05:22,590
reason staff again, they

1829
01:05:22,590 --> 01:05:24,590
staff's recommendations, as

1830
01:05:25,595 --> 01:05:26,263
you know, supports plans,

1831
01:05:26,263 --> 01:05:26,964
comprehensive plan in this

1832
01:05:26,964 --> 01:05:27,497
case. Staff is supportive of

1833
01:05:27,497 --> 01:05:29,897
that near West Side

1834
01:05:31,902 --> 01:05:32,970
neighborhood land use plan.

1835
01:05:32,970 --> 01:05:33,971
Has already talked about some

1836
01:05:33,971 --> 01:05:37,571
of those comments. It is in

1837
01:05:37,641 --> 01:05:38,242
the staff report that relates

1838
01:05:38,242 --> 01:05:40,844
to the reason for staff

1839
01:05:40,844 --> 01:05:43,844
support. It's right for a

1840
01:05:44,514 --> 01:05:46,183
shift in use. And because

1841
01:05:46,183 --> 01:05:48,850
you've got Washington Street,

1842
01:05:48,850 --> 01:05:51,221
you have you have the views

1843
01:05:51,221 --> 01:05:52,322
downtown. You have it up. Why?

1844
01:05:52,322 --> 01:05:52,989
And then you have the blue

1845
01:05:52,989 --> 01:05:55,989
line that is coming through

1846
01:05:59,397 --> 01:06:00,731
this area. The plans for this

1847
01:06:00,731 --> 01:06:01,765
neighborhood also identifies

1848
01:06:01,765 --> 01:06:02,400
the southern portion of this

1849
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,400
site. And that's from the

1850
01:06:06,337 --> 01:06:07,271
alley to the South. As a

1851
01:06:07,271 --> 01:06:10,271
critical area. It talks about

1852
01:06:10,340 --> 01:06:11,541
mixed use a multi-family

1853
01:06:11,541 --> 01:06:12,476
residence and multi-family

1854
01:06:12,476 --> 01:06:13,277
structures rather than

1855
01:06:13,277 --> 01:06:15,277
subdividing of single-family

1856
01:06:16,780 --> 01:06:18,149
homes into numerous units. So

1857
01:06:18,149 --> 01:06:20,117
for these reasons, staff

1858
01:06:20,117 --> 01:06:20,784
believes and supports sent

1859
01:06:20,784 --> 01:06:21,519
this project would be

1860
01:06:21,519 --> 01:06:23,453
appropriate for this

1861
01:06:23,453 --> 01:06:24,155
neighborhood because it does

1862
01:06:24,155 --> 01:06:26,555
respond to that neighborhood

1863
01:06:29,827 --> 01:06:32,329
plan. Getting to of ak Shuns.

1864
01:06:32,329 --> 01:06:36,670
And I do want to clarify is

1865
01:06:36,670 --> 01:06:39,667
really excuse me. It is not.

1866
01:06:40,380 --> 01:06:42,400
There's an error there on the

1867
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:43,107
notice or the description of

1868
01:06:43,107 --> 01:06:44,842
the vacation that says all was

1869
01:06:44,842 --> 01:06:45,610
a waiver of the assessment of

1870
01:06:45,610 --> 01:06:47,679
benefits that should be

1871
01:06:47,679 --> 01:06:49,380
stricken from that request

1872
01:06:49,380 --> 01:06:49,981
because the petitioners

1873
01:06:49,981 --> 01:06:51,981
representative, they've

1874
01:06:53,985 --> 01:06:54,686
already engaged. I an

1875
01:06:54,686 --> 01:06:57,686
appraisal of those alleys and

1876
01:06:58,423 --> 01:07:00,725
the value of those alleys. And

1877
01:07:00,725 --> 01:07:03,594
so it will be there will be an

1878
01:07:03,594 --> 01:07:06,130
assessment of benefits will be

1879
01:07:06,130 --> 01:07:06,764
required to be made in this

1880
01:07:06,764 --> 01:07:09,467
and a separate meeting to

1881
01:07:09,467 --> 01:07:10,134
follow this one. And there is

1882
01:07:10,134 --> 01:07:10,835
a motion an hour earlier at

1883
01:07:10,835 --> 01:07:13,835
reference Cent a minute. But

1884
01:07:14,238 --> 01:07:16,641
again. Some of these alleys

1885
01:07:16,641 --> 01:07:18,843
are not improved. Some have

1886
01:07:18,843 --> 01:07:20,778
improved. But in order for

1887
01:07:20,778 --> 01:07:21,479
this development to go forward

1888
01:07:21,479 --> 01:07:25,790
it will need the vacation of

1889
01:07:25,316 --> 01:07:26,351
those alleys. There is a at

1890
01:07:26,351 --> 01:07:28,751
staff is again recommending

1891
01:07:29,220 --> 01:07:30,922
approval of the vacation.

1892
01:07:30,922 --> 01:07:34,522
There is a motion on Page 17

1893
01:07:35,626 --> 01:07:36,861
of the staff report and that's

1894
01:07:36,861 --> 01:07:37,562
recommended vacation motion.

1895
01:07:37,562 --> 01:07:38,229
And again, it talks about the

1896
01:07:38,229 --> 01:07:40,629
assessment of benefits that

1897
01:07:42,433 --> 01:07:43,468
will be heard in the fall away

1898
01:07:43,468 --> 01:07:44,635
in the meeting on JUNE 3rd.

1899
01:07:44,635 --> 01:07:47,635
That's what staff is looking

1900
01:07:51,750 --> 01:07:53,475
at. Questions for staff.

1901
01:07:55,147 --> 01:07:58,147
Welcome back to you, Kathleen.

1902
01:08:03,721 --> 01:08:07,321
This one. Can you help me

1903
01:08:09,628 --> 01:08:10,661
understand on Page 16? In the

1904
01:08:10,661 --> 01:08:12,661
height restriction variance,

1905
01:08:15,634 --> 01:08:17,535
request yes. Staff supports

1906
01:08:17,535 --> 01:08:18,737
the variance of development

1907
01:08:18,737 --> 01:08:20,171
standards for maximum height

1908
01:08:20,171 --> 01:08:21,600
of 50 feet. When ordinance and

1909
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,606
d a limit to 35. That is

1910
01:08:25,577 --> 01:08:28,380
correct. And documents note a

1911
01:08:28,380 --> 01:08:30,415
reduction in the height to the

1912
01:08:30,415 --> 01:08:31,316
West. Would encourage

1913
01:08:31,316 --> 01:08:31,983
consideration of height

1914
01:08:31,983 --> 01:08:33,983
restrictions productions in

1915
01:08:34,953 --> 01:08:35,687
the North and South. Due to

1916
01:08:35,687 --> 01:08:38,870
proximity to existing dwelling

1917
01:08:45,530 --> 01:08:47,866
cs. Yes, on Page 19. Says new

1918
01:08:47,866 --> 01:08:48,433
building should be respectful

1919
01:08:48,433 --> 01:08:49,868
solidly single-family

1920
01:08:49,868 --> 01:08:50,835
residential street to the

1921
01:08:50,835 --> 01:08:54,435
north and east of the critical

1922
01:08:55,607 --> 01:08:58,900
area. And counselor, me should

1923
01:08:58,900 --> 01:09:00,813
mention the final bullet point

1924
01:09:00,813 --> 01:09:02,881
in his testimony earlier that

1925
01:09:02,881 --> 01:09:04,349
the area should take the form

1926
01:09:04,349 --> 01:09:04,950
of purpose-built multi-family

1927
01:09:04,950 --> 01:09:06,950
structures. Correct. As

1928
01:09:07,385 --> 01:09:10,385
mentioned here. He did not

1929
01:09:11,490 --> 01:09:12,924
mention that staffs statement

1930
01:09:12,924 --> 01:09:14,226
right above it says although

1931
01:09:14,226 --> 01:09:17,226
new structures will likely be

1932
01:09:17,663 --> 01:09:18,830
tall enough to take advantage

1933
01:09:18,830 --> 01:09:20,320
of use, the should not over

1934
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,934
existing homes on saucy rising

1935
01:09:22,934 --> 01:09:24,803
there in Richmond Street. So

1936
01:09:24,803 --> 01:09:28,403
is it that they should not?

1937
01:09:28,807 --> 01:09:29,541
And that is. The question of

1938
01:09:29,541 --> 01:09:31,941
the height. Difference from 35

1939
01:09:33,979 --> 01:09:37,582
to 50. Or is it on Page 16? Is

1940
01:09:37,582 --> 01:09:38,150
it? Says that. It's

1941
01:09:38,150 --> 01:09:40,150
encouragement of the

1942
01:09:43,955 --> 01:09:45,958
consideration. Thank you for

1943
01:09:45,958 --> 01:09:46,658
bringing that I would also

1944
01:09:46,658 --> 01:09:47,959
tonight neglected to mention

1945
01:09:47,959 --> 01:09:49,728
that this isn't an overly

1946
01:09:49,728 --> 01:09:51,596
district, a regional center

1947
01:09:51,596 --> 01:09:53,699
overlay. So there will be a

1948
01:09:53,699 --> 01:09:55,735
separate hearing on this

1949
01:09:55,735 --> 01:09:58,700
project for the regional

1950
01:09:58,700 --> 01:09:58,771
center approval. And yes, i

1951
01:09:58,771 --> 01:10:01,771
know they have been working.

1952
01:10:01,807 --> 01:10:02,441
I'm talking about staff the

1953
01:10:02,441 --> 01:10:04,841
incentives team has been

1954
01:10:05,511 --> 01:10:06,679
working with this developer,

1955
01:10:06,679 --> 01:10:09,790
too respect the neighborhood.

1956
01:10:09,314 --> 01:10:10,816
And that's why staff put in

1957
01:10:10,816 --> 01:10:13,216
there consideration of the

1958
01:10:14,820 --> 01:10:15,521
reduction of the height when

1959
01:10:15,521 --> 01:10:16,221
you're looking when it abuts

1960
01:10:16,221 --> 01:10:19,221
that neighborhood to north as

1961
01:10:20,250 --> 01:10:21,561
well as the south. So, yes, we

1962
01:10:21,561 --> 01:10:24,297
would like to it be integrated

1963
01:10:24,297 --> 01:10:25,998
into the neighborhood. But at

1964
01:10:25,998 --> 01:10:28,670
the same time, we also

1965
01:10:28,670 --> 01:10:30,103
understand that in order to

1966
01:10:30,103 --> 01:10:32,138
provide the service for

1967
01:10:32,138 --> 01:10:33,390
affordable housing that we do

1968
01:10:33,390 --> 01:10:33,639
need to have a height that is

1969
01:10:33,639 --> 01:10:36,639
going to allow for that

1970
01:10:38,744 --> 01:10:39,412
development. So, yes, we would

1971
01:10:39,412 --> 01:10:42,412
encourage it. But we also

1972
01:10:42,915 --> 01:10:43,583
understand that there is the

1973
01:10:43,583 --> 01:10:45,983
challenge of integrating it

1974
01:10:46,385 --> 01:10:48,187
into that neighborhood. I can

1975
01:10:48,187 --> 01:10:50,423
understand that there's a

1976
01:10:50,423 --> 01:10:52,658
tension there trying to

1977
01:10:52,658 --> 01:10:54,861
maximize square footage in

1978
01:10:54,861 --> 01:10:56,395
unit count and all of those

1979
01:10:56,395 --> 01:10:57,130
things. But I think my

1980
01:10:57,130 --> 01:11:00,233
question is you use the phrase

1981
01:11:00,233 --> 01:11:00,933
in the report and the

1982
01:11:00,933 --> 01:11:01,634
recommendations for critical

1983
01:11:01,634 --> 01:11:03,101
area number 9, that it should

1984
01:11:03,101 --> 01:11:05,604
not loom over the existing

1985
01:11:05,604 --> 01:11:08,407
home. That is correct. And if

1986
01:11:08,407 --> 01:11:09,608
that is perspective, I think

1987
01:11:09,608 --> 01:11:10,376
should not is a pretty clear

1988
01:11:10,376 --> 01:11:13,279
indication that that is what

1989
01:11:13,279 --> 01:11:15,281
should be respected. Yeah, not

1990
01:11:15,281 --> 01:11:17,683
merely an encouragement not to

1991
01:11:17,683 --> 01:11:18,984
do so well. And I believe that

1992
01:11:18,984 --> 01:11:21,984
that's why they are stepping

1993
01:11:22,521 --> 01:11:24,824
down the building there to the

1994
01:11:24,824 --> 01:11:25,524
West, Ari and but this is in

1995
01:11:25,524 --> 01:11:27,993
reference to north and West,

1996
01:11:27,993 --> 01:11:29,610
right? I understand that. But

1997
01:11:29,610 --> 01:11:30,300
that and that's why staff

1998
01:11:30,300 --> 01:11:32,566
would like to see that. That

1999
01:11:32,566 --> 01:11:35,566
should be considered as part

2000
01:11:35,936 --> 01:11:37,103
of the development of this.

2001
01:11:37,103 --> 01:11:40,139
This is as part of this

2002
01:11:40,139 --> 01:11:40,873
development in the building

2003
01:11:40,873 --> 01:11:41,507
architecture, it needs to

2004
01:11:41,507 --> 01:11:43,907
again to guests. Package

2005
01:11:43,976 --> 01:11:45,111
should not loom over those

2006
01:11:45,111 --> 01:11:46,879
residents there. That to along

2007
01:11:46,879 --> 01:11:48,148
that southern boundary as well

2008
01:11:48,148 --> 01:11:48,881
as that northern And I think

2009
01:11:48,881 --> 01:11:52,481
critically, if you look at the

2010
01:11:54,487 --> 01:11:55,621
map. This is not at a major

2011
01:11:55,621 --> 01:11:56,389
intersection as is the other 2

2012
01:11:56,389 --> 01:11:59,389
development said a little bit

2013
01:11:59,593 --> 01:12:01,428
further up Mir blocks on Right

2014
01:12:01,428 --> 01:12:02,195
River Parkway. 16 tonight.

2015
01:12:02,195 --> 01:12:02,895
Michigan writes, I think even

2016
01:12:02,895 --> 01:12:05,895
with respect to that context,

2017
01:12:06,632 --> 01:12:08,334
dependent. If you're saying

2018
01:12:08,334 --> 01:12:10,737
should not loom over the homes

2019
01:12:10,737 --> 01:12:11,505
in a non commercial corridor

2020
01:12:11,505 --> 01:12:12,238
like happen, that makes more

2021
01:12:12,238 --> 01:12:15,108
sense for the building to be

2022
01:12:15,108 --> 01:12:15,809
step back further in the north

2023
01:12:15,809 --> 01:12:18,809
and south. Then it currently

2024
01:12:20,414 --> 01:12:21,548
presented. Versus it being a

2025
01:12:21,548 --> 01:12:22,482
mere recommendation. Yes. And

2026
01:12:22,482 --> 01:12:23,116
so I think there should there

2027
01:12:23,116 --> 01:12:23,817
should be some additional

2028
01:12:23,817 --> 01:12:25,285
conversation about what that

2029
01:12:25,285 --> 01:12:27,621
actually looks like in real

2030
01:12:27,621 --> 01:12:28,288
life because it doesn't feel

2031
01:12:28,288 --> 01:12:30,688
satisfactory here. Yeah, I

2032
01:12:31,758 --> 01:12:33,693
agree with that. And the and

2033
01:12:33,693 --> 01:12:35,729
that is why Seth, but that

2034
01:12:35,729 --> 01:12:36,696
that comment in there just

2035
01:12:36,696 --> 01:12:39,166
because we don't want we want

2036
01:12:39,166 --> 01:12:40,200
this to be integrated in there

2037
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:43,800
and not loom over that the

2038
01:12:43,904 --> 01:12:45,380
neighborhood so we can. Yeah,

2039
01:12:45,380 --> 01:12:46,606
it stands currently. It is

2040
01:12:46,606 --> 01:12:47,774
not. So I just want to make

2041
01:12:47,774 --> 01:12:48,508
that mention, but thank you

2042
01:12:48,508 --> 01:12:49,776
for Iraq first. Well, and I do

2043
01:12:49,776 --> 01:12:51,110
want to say there will be

2044
01:12:51,110 --> 01:12:52,579
another level of review for

2045
01:12:52,579 --> 01:12:53,280
the regional center and the

2046
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,140
neighborhood will be able to

2047
01:12:55,140 --> 01:12:58,140
engage in that. Herring. Also

2048
01:12:58,685 --> 01:13:01,850
understood. Thank you federal

2049
01:13:01,388 --> 01:13:03,788
questions for staff. Kathleen,

2050
01:13:06,660 --> 01:13:10,260
I have one confuse on the

2051
01:13:12,833 --> 01:13:14,340
Haitian motion. The language

2052
01:13:14,340 --> 01:13:15,502
says that a hearing up on

2053
01:13:15,502 --> 01:13:16,169
assessment of benefits to be

2054
01:13:16,169 --> 01:13:19,105
held on JUNE 3rd, 2026. Is

2055
01:13:19,105 --> 01:13:19,806
that still accurate? That is

2056
01:13:19,806 --> 01:13:22,575
correct. Okay. So we're still

2057
01:13:22,575 --> 01:13:24,770
yes. The recommended vacation

2058
01:13:24,770 --> 01:13:27,677
motion still in play? Yes, it

2059
01:13:28,415 --> 01:13:31,840
is. The appraisal of that

2060
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:31,752
vacation has been submitted.

2061
01:13:31,752 --> 01:13:33,353
There's just a couple more

2062
01:13:33,353 --> 01:13:34,187
documents and need to be

2063
01:13:34,187 --> 01:13:35,923
submitted and a ribbon of

2064
01:13:35,923 --> 01:13:38,859
which is indicated that those

2065
01:13:38,859 --> 01:13:39,460
with we will be ready to go on

2066
01:13:39,460 --> 01:13:40,930
JUNE. The surge was the

2067
01:13:40,930 --> 01:13:42,493
assessment of benefits on

2068
01:13:46,233 --> 01:13:47,101
this. Thank you conclude with

2069
01:13:47,101 --> 01:13:47,835
staff is for this project.

2070
01:13:47,835 --> 01:13:48,602
Yes, Seth supports both sub

2071
01:13:48,602 --> 01:13:50,738
variants and the vacation

2072
01:13:50,738 --> 01:13:51,438
petition or you have 5 minutes

2073
01:13:51,438 --> 01:13:53,838
rebuttal. Nancy, please reset

2074
01:13:55,308 --> 01:13:56,100
the clock. I thank you,

2075
01:13:56,100 --> 01:13:59,610
PRESIDENT. Don't I do at this

2076
01:14:00,810 --> 01:14:03,170
point there were. Questions I

2077
01:14:03,170 --> 01:14:03,584
wanted address directly

2078
01:14:03,584 --> 01:14:04,284
Commissioner Lyle and

2079
01:14:04,284 --> 01:14:06,684
commissioner West. Both tests

2080
01:14:06,687 --> 01:14:08,322
think safety security was part

2081
01:14:08,322 --> 01:14:09,230
of that. And I want to

2082
01:14:09,230 --> 01:14:12,230
introduce Joyce get more from

2083
01:14:12,660 --> 01:14:13,394
an ex to talk about those 2

2084
01:14:13,394 --> 01:14:17,594
issues. And then I want to get

2085
01:14:18,399 --> 01:14:20,234
to the kind of building scale.

2086
01:14:20,234 --> 01:14:21,268
Joyce, you've sworn in. Yes,

2087
01:14:21,268 --> 01:14:23,668
please introduce yourself and

2088
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:25,739
your address. Choi Skidmore,

2089
01:14:25,739 --> 01:14:26,440
86, 80 medicine Plaza drive

2090
01:14:26,440 --> 01:14:28,440
Fishers, Indiana for 6, 0, 3,

2091
01:14:30,177 --> 01:14:32,790
8, And with the annex group.

2092
01:14:32,790 --> 01:14:32,680
Thank you. Members of the

2093
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:34,480
Commissioner for allow

2094
01:14:34,480 --> 01:14:35,449
Commission for allowing us to

2095
01:14:35,449 --> 01:14:37,985
present today. I do want to

2096
01:14:37,985 --> 01:14:38,786
speak to the safety and we

2097
01:14:38,786 --> 01:14:40,588
certainly understand an echo

2098
01:14:40,588 --> 01:14:41,789
the concerns for union 16th

2099
01:14:41,789 --> 01:14:42,723
Street, however, did want to

2100
01:14:42,723 --> 01:14:43,324
point out that while these

2101
01:14:43,324 --> 01:14:45,724
projects are in close

2102
01:14:46,794 --> 01:14:48,796
proximity to each other, they

2103
01:14:48,796 --> 01:14:50,796
are 2 completely distinct

2104
01:14:51,650 --> 01:14:53,650
micro neighborhoods. Union

2105
01:14:54,168 --> 01:14:55,200
16th is located along the 16th

2106
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:55,970
Street corridor and at

2107
01:14:55,970 --> 01:14:57,771
Lafayette Road, which is much

2108
01:14:57,771 --> 01:14:59,473
higher crime rate in that

2109
01:14:59,473 --> 01:15:00,107
location. Then at string town

2110
01:15:00,107 --> 01:15:03,107
or within the string town

2111
01:15:05,379 --> 01:15:06,800
neighborhood. I know there was

2112
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:07,848
concern on the comment I made

2113
01:15:07,848 --> 01:15:10,248
regarding, you know, lessons

2114
01:15:11,485 --> 01:15:12,253
learned this was one of our

2115
01:15:12,253 --> 01:15:14,880
first 3 projects was unit at

2116
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,880
16th Street. And since then,

2117
01:15:19,727 --> 01:15:20,728
we have. Developed 30

2118
01:15:20,728 --> 01:15:22,300
successful developments that

2119
01:15:22,300 --> 01:15:25,300
are open and operating across

2120
01:15:25,433 --> 01:15:26,600
the United within, you know,

2121
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:28,269
since then and and and

2122
01:15:28,269 --> 01:15:30,269
development of those 30

2123
01:15:30,304 --> 01:15:32,273
operating properties. We've

2124
01:15:32,273 --> 01:15:32,873
learned that design is really,

2125
01:15:32,873 --> 01:15:33,541
really important to pay

2126
01:15:33,541 --> 01:15:36,440
attention to union. A 16th

2127
01:15:36,440 --> 01:15:38,130
street has open parking lots.

2128
01:15:38,130 --> 01:15:39,547
There is an amenity that is in

2129
01:15:39,547 --> 01:15:40,214
each and every building of the

2130
01:15:40,214 --> 01:15:42,616
5 buildings on the site. So

2131
01:15:42,616 --> 01:15:43,685
the man and amenities Arce

2132
01:15:43,685 --> 01:15:44,319
spread out across the site,

2133
01:15:44,319 --> 01:15:46,453
which makes it extremely

2134
01:15:46,453 --> 01:15:48,220
difficult. Our management team

2135
01:15:48,220 --> 01:15:48,756
to make sure that they're

2136
01:15:48,756 --> 01:15:51,756
policing those areas. And also

2137
01:15:52,527 --> 01:15:53,695
police in the parking lot. So

2138
01:15:53,695 --> 01:15:54,295
this design being one building

2139
01:15:54,295 --> 01:15:56,295
was controlled parking

2140
01:15:57,699 --> 01:16:00,635
internal to the site that will

2141
01:16:00,635 --> 01:16:01,670
be gated parking. Also gated 5

2142
01:16:01,670 --> 01:16:02,304
access into the building. All

2143
01:16:02,304 --> 01:16:02,904
of those things are those

2144
01:16:02,904 --> 01:16:05,304
lessons learned that I

2145
01:16:08,410 --> 01:16:09,310
mentioned. As I said, next

2146
01:16:09,310 --> 01:16:11,120
group has grown quite a bit

2147
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,181
since unit at 16th Street.

2148
01:16:13,181 --> 01:16:13,915
We've learned had a better

2149
01:16:13,915 --> 01:16:16,117
operator properties. We are

2150
01:16:16,117 --> 01:16:17,152
working closely with impd on

2151
01:16:17,152 --> 01:16:17,852
union a 16th street. We

2152
01:16:17,852 --> 01:16:19,954
understand it's a problem in

2153
01:16:19,954 --> 01:16:20,588
our property management team

2154
01:16:20,588 --> 01:16:21,923
is all over it trying to

2155
01:16:21,923 --> 01:16:24,923
figure out a solution. 2 of

2156
01:16:24,993 --> 01:16:26,461
the problems that are there. I

2157
01:16:26,461 --> 01:16:27,162
also want to speak to the high

2158
01:16:27,162 --> 01:16:29,664
turnover rate comment. Yes, I

2159
01:16:29,664 --> 01:16:30,899
did make that comment. Our

2160
01:16:30,899 --> 01:16:32,334
goal at the annex group is to

2161
01:16:32,334 --> 01:16:33,340
make a positive impact on the

2162
01:16:33,340 --> 01:16:34,769
people that live work and are

2163
01:16:34,769 --> 01:16:37,169
involved in our communities

2164
01:16:37,772 --> 01:16:38,506
that positive impact includes

2165
01:16:38,506 --> 01:16:39,740
making sure we're trying to

2166
01:16:39,740 --> 01:16:41,474
ensure that maybe our

2167
01:16:42,177 --> 01:16:44,178
residents don't qualify to

2168
01:16:44,178 --> 01:16:46,470
live in low-income housing any

2169
01:16:46,470 --> 01:16:46,748
longer because we've helped

2170
01:16:46,748 --> 01:16:47,415
them become successful. We've

2171
01:16:47,415 --> 01:16:49,384
helped them make more money

2172
01:16:49,384 --> 01:16:51,653
help them better. Their

2173
01:16:51,653 --> 01:16:53,421
situation so that they no

2174
01:16:53,421 --> 01:16:54,880
longer can income qualify and

2175
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:55,423
they can go live in market

2176
01:16:55,423 --> 01:16:56,257
rate communities for own their

2177
01:16:56,257 --> 01:17:00,457
own home. So that is our goal

2178
01:17:02,530 --> 01:17:04,366
at the annex group. So

2179
01:17:04,366 --> 01:17:06,367
commissioner, while used or

2180
01:17:06,367 --> 01:17:07,102
tension and it was a good

2181
01:17:07,102 --> 01:17:08,736
because there is that there is

2182
01:17:08,736 --> 01:17:11,736
a tension. There's a tension

2183
01:17:12,874 --> 01:17:14,675
between bringing density and

2184
01:17:14,675 --> 01:17:15,344
what's necessary to support

2185
01:17:15,344 --> 01:17:17,344
affordable housing, project

2186
01:17:21,783 --> 01:17:23,852
like this one. Trying to be

2187
01:17:23,852 --> 01:17:24,519
sensitive the existing single

2188
01:17:24,519 --> 01:17:26,519
family residential israels.

2189
01:17:27,156 --> 01:17:29,324
The property. There's also the

2190
01:17:29,324 --> 01:17:32,324
uniqueness of this site along

2191
01:17:33,729 --> 01:17:35,263
the White River where you have

2192
01:17:35,263 --> 01:17:36,197
a reason to have some height

2193
01:17:36,197 --> 01:17:38,867
along the east. I think these

2194
01:17:38,867 --> 01:17:41,867
are recognize that. But you

2195
01:17:42,705 --> 01:17:43,872
have on the north at least and

2196
01:17:43,872 --> 01:17:44,606
the south, some single family

2197
01:17:44,606 --> 01:17:47,606
residential that that's had a

2198
01:17:48,644 --> 01:17:49,411
lower height. What we

2199
01:17:49,411 --> 01:17:51,411
originally started this

2200
01:17:52,581 --> 01:17:53,282
project and what mre or cannot

2201
01:17:53,282 --> 01:17:55,317
remember this because it was

2202
01:17:55,317 --> 01:17:58,917
so long ago actually had a 5

2203
01:17:59,354 --> 01:18:02,191
story building. And it was

2204
01:18:02,191 --> 01:18:05,191
staff's feedback to us that.

2205
01:18:05,961 --> 01:18:07,495
Bring the hike down on the

2206
01:18:07,495 --> 01:18:11,950
west where you have the most

2207
01:18:12,868 --> 01:18:14,636
single family. Reduce the

2208
01:18:14,636 --> 01:18:16,272
height on the east as much as

2209
01:18:16,272 --> 01:18:19,375
you can. And that's what we've

2210
01:18:19,375 --> 01:18:21,510
done. I can tell you that as I

2211
01:18:21,510 --> 01:18:22,978
started, you have to have a

2212
01:18:22,978 --> 01:18:23,645
certain amount of density to

2213
01:18:23,645 --> 01:18:25,645
support affordable housing

2214
01:18:27,249 --> 01:18:29,284
project. And we're at the

2215
01:18:29,284 --> 01:18:31,253
we're as thin as you can get.

2216
01:18:31,253 --> 01:18:34,853
So we talk with staff about

2217
01:18:35,291 --> 01:18:36,325
working as hard as we can on

2218
01:18:36,325 --> 01:18:37,760
modifications to the

2219
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:38,494
architecture, the building to

2220
01:18:38,494 --> 01:18:40,629
try to bring the scaled down a

2221
01:18:40,629 --> 01:18:41,430
bit. And we will continue to

2222
01:18:41,430 --> 01:18:42,831
have those conversations with

2223
01:18:42,831 --> 01:18:45,134
staff. As Kathleen indicated,

2224
01:18:45,134 --> 01:18:45,768
we have to go through the

2225
01:18:45,768 --> 01:18:47,768
regional center approval

2226
01:18:48,871 --> 01:18:50,606
process. And so there is check

2227
01:18:50,606 --> 01:18:53,606
and balance or an accounting

2228
01:18:54,977 --> 01:18:56,311
accounting on for that. But

2229
01:18:56,311 --> 01:18:56,945
I'm telling you to bring in

2230
01:18:56,945 --> 01:18:58,580
affordable housing. Thank

2231
01:18:58,580 --> 01:19:02,180
Council your time to have that

2232
01:19:04,860 --> 01:19:04,686
questions for the petitioner.

2233
01:19:04,686 --> 01:19:07,220
Final questions for the

2234
01:19:07,220 --> 01:19:09,220
petitioner. Hearing. None.

2235
01:19:10,159 --> 01:19:10,759
Thank you, counselor Monster

presenting Stringtown Now

2241
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:25,808
Neighborhood Association. I

2242
01:19:25,808 --> 01:19:28,811
want to note a few things that

2243
01:19:28,811 --> 01:19:30,679
came up during the questions,

2244
01:19:30,679 --> 01:19:31,914
the proximity to the zoo and

2245
01:19:31,914 --> 01:19:32,582
it I wouldn't. And I would

2246
01:19:32,582 --> 01:19:34,117
just like to note that the

2247
01:19:34,117 --> 01:19:36,119
land is on was formerly

2248
01:19:36,119 --> 01:19:37,453
stringtown. We were had 70

2249
01:19:37,453 --> 01:19:39,155
acres of homes taken when the

2250
01:19:39,155 --> 01:19:40,356
zoo was built and the rope was

2251
01:19:40,356 --> 01:19:41,991
moved. So we've already lost a

2252
01:19:41,991 --> 01:19:43,760
substantial chunk of our

2253
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:44,660
neighborhood and referenced. I

2254
01:19:44,660 --> 01:19:45,195
up why we all know the ransom

2255
01:19:45,195 --> 01:19:46,229
place used to be a

2256
01:19:46,229 --> 01:19:47,229
neighborhood that existed

2257
01:19:47,229 --> 01:19:49,432
there, chipping away at our

2258
01:19:49,432 --> 01:19:51,832
neighborhood will result in

2259
01:19:52,368 --> 01:19:53,360
the same end goal. Our

2260
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:53,670
neighborhood is not a blank

2261
01:19:53,670 --> 01:19:56,700
slate for someone else's

2262
01:19:57,607 --> 01:19:58,641
dreams. Density need for

2263
01:19:58,641 --> 01:19:59,742
affordable housing does not

2264
01:19:59,742 --> 01:20:00,443
negate that we are

2265
01:20:00,443 --> 01:20:02,843
neighborhood that deserves to

2266
01:20:03,790 --> 01:20:04,881
be treated with respect and

2267
01:20:04,881 --> 01:20:06,683
again, we are poor and working

2268
01:20:06,683 --> 01:20:07,350
class community. We're not

2269
01:20:07,350 --> 01:20:08,840
against affordable housing.

2270
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:09,719
We're not against density were

2271
01:20:09,719 --> 01:20:10,353
not spreading buildings. Given

2272
01:20:10,353 --> 01:20:13,353
many examples of what we

2273
01:20:14,124 --> 01:20:15,491
absolutely fine with us. In

2274
01:20:15,491 --> 01:20:16,580
terms of joy saying that it's

2275
01:20:16,580 --> 01:20:16,993
completely different

2276
01:20:16,993 --> 01:20:19,362
neighborhood unit. 16th. I

2277
01:20:19,362 --> 01:20:20,163
mean, that's kind of

2278
01:20:20,163 --> 01:20:21,898
interesting because councilor

2279
01:20:21,898 --> 01:20:24,167
John said that other areas of

2280
01:20:24,167 --> 01:20:24,868
her district having police

2281
01:20:24,868 --> 01:20:26,436
come on their off time works.

2282
01:20:26,436 --> 01:20:28,471
So why does not apply one

2283
01:20:28,471 --> 01:20:29,539
person but not the other? So

2284
01:20:29,539 --> 01:20:30,206
it's a different place,

2285
01:20:30,206 --> 01:20:32,206
different place, different

2286
01:20:33,420 --> 01:20:36,642
things I would also say that

2287
01:20:36,812 --> 01:20:37,614
in reference to that it that

2288
01:20:37,614 --> 01:20:38,248
safety plan relies on the idea

2289
01:20:38,248 --> 01:20:38,981
that police officers come

2290
01:20:38,981 --> 01:20:41,484
there and their off time. What

2291
01:20:41,484 --> 01:20:45,840
if they don't? They have no

2292
01:20:46,656 --> 01:20:47,891
requirement to. And I also. If

2293
01:20:47,891 --> 01:20:48,558
they're working out, are they

2294
01:20:48,558 --> 01:20:50,126
supposed to stop a crime in

2295
01:20:50,126 --> 01:20:50,727
the middle of doing reps or

2296
01:20:50,727 --> 01:20:54,327
just in that kind of an

2297
01:20:56,165 --> 01:20:56,866
interesting situation? In

2298
01:20:56,866 --> 01:20:58,334
terms of what counselor John

2299
01:20:58,334 --> 01:20:58,968
said about our meeting was not

2300
01:20:58,968 --> 01:21:01,337
with me was with another

2301
01:21:01,337 --> 01:21:02,506
person in my group. Addition

2302
01:21:02,506 --> 01:21:04,207
to that, it was canceled due

2303
01:21:04,207 --> 01:21:05,375
to scheduling and was just

2304
01:21:05,375 --> 01:21:06,476
never rescheduled. She knew

2305
01:21:06,476 --> 01:21:07,276
that we are neighborhood

2306
01:21:07,276 --> 01:21:08,445
association at existing is

2307
01:21:08,445 --> 01:21:09,445
active in the neighborhood.

2308
01:21:09,445 --> 01:21:10,790
And again, we are registered

2309
01:21:10,790 --> 01:21:10,747
with the city. There's no

2310
01:21:10,747 --> 01:21:11,882
reason we should have been

2311
01:21:11,882 --> 01:21:12,482
left out of those

2312
01:21:12,482 --> 01:21:14,882
conversations. And I do

2313
01:21:15,452 --> 01:21:16,553
actually have a timeline. With

2314
01:21:16,553 --> 01:21:18,722
Christine Jones DECEMBER 8th

2315
01:21:18,722 --> 01:21:21,722
was the first one, with

2316
01:21:21,758 --> 01:21:22,426
planning staff DECEMBER 16th

2317
01:21:22,426 --> 01:21:23,125
meeting with String Town

2318
01:21:23,125 --> 01:21:25,125
Neighborhood Association and

2319
01:21:25,895 --> 01:21:26,797
counselor Jones DECEMBER 22nd

2320
01:21:26,797 --> 01:21:27,430
meeting with String Town

2321
01:21:27,430 --> 01:21:29,430
Neighborhood Association

2322
01:21:31,340 --> 01:21:32,736
Council Jones MARCH 10th. And

2323
01:21:32,736 --> 01:21:33,236
then the meeting, the String

2324
01:21:33,236 --> 01:21:35,139
town neighborhood

2325
01:21:35,139 --> 01:21:35,939
associations, APRIL 13th. By

2326
01:21:35,939 --> 01:21:36,573
that point, Christian Jones

2327
01:21:36,573 --> 01:21:37,440
had already written her a

2328
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:39,900
letter of support and

2329
01:21:39,900 --> 01:21:40,877
submitted it. So when was this

2330
01:21:40,877 --> 01:21:43,277
community engagement for to

2331
01:21:45,549 --> 01:21:46,283
happen? In addition to no one

2332
01:21:46,283 --> 01:21:48,352
besides string town now should

2333
01:21:48,352 --> 01:21:50,287
strengthen the Association

2334
01:21:50,287 --> 01:21:52,189
requested money or a shed. We

2335
01:21:52,189 --> 01:21:55,189
don't want those things. We

2336
01:21:56,159 --> 01:21:58,559
want our neighborhood. Last

2337
01:22:02,499 --> 01:22:04,934
thing. I want to just remind

2338
01:22:04,934 --> 01:22:05,469
everyone that we again, her

2339
01:22:05,469 --> 01:22:06,136
not to get posed to

2340
01:22:06,136 --> 01:22:08,136
multi-family housing. We're

2341
01:22:08,672 --> 01:22:09,640
not opposed to new neighbors.

2342
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:10,541
We're not opposed anything

2343
01:22:10,541 --> 01:22:11,241
like that. We just want things

2344
01:22:11,241 --> 01:22:12,476
that fit into a neighborhood.

2345
01:22:12,476 --> 01:22:14,378
It makes sense. Don't harm us

2346
01:22:14,378 --> 01:22:17,378
in terms of traffic, more

2347
01:22:19,183 --> 01:22:22,183
money or pollution. Thank you.

01:27:13,812 --> 01:27:14,546
openai's uprooting to tell the

2428
01:27:14,546 --> 01:27:17,546
truth and nothing. But the

2429
01:27:19,518 --> 01:27:20,252
truth I do. Thank you.

2430
01:27:20,252 --> 01:27:21,487
Councilor welcome. Let me walk

2431
01:27:21,487 --> 01:27:22,255
through the rules of

2432
01:27:22,255 --> 01:27:22,955
engagement. I do not see any

2433
01:27:22,955 --> 01:27:25,955
reminds traders here. Is that

2434
01:27:27,627 --> 01:27:28,294
correct? Council will give you

2435
01:27:28,294 --> 01:27:30,694
15 minutes to present. The

2436
01:27:31,531 --> 01:27:32,331
petition case. Thank you all.

2437
01:27:32,331 --> 01:27:34,867
Then again, ask for reminds

2438
01:27:34,867 --> 01:27:35,735
traders. I don't see any I

2439
01:27:35,735 --> 01:27:39,305
will then go to staff. I also

2440
01:27:39,305 --> 01:27:40,600
don't see any city council

2441
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:40,606
members here come back to you

2442
01:27:40,606 --> 01:27:43,600
for any rebuttal that's

2443
01:27:43,576 --> 01:27:46,576
necessary. And then take a

2444
01:27:47,213 --> 01:27:48,800
vote. You're on the clock

2445
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:50,480
Thank you. Good afternoon.

2446
01:27:50,883 --> 01:27:52,184
PRESIDENT Dylan members of the

2447
01:27:52,184 --> 01:27:53,986
commission show called or

2448
01:27:53,986 --> 01:27:56,288
attorney with offices at 11

2449
01:27:56,288 --> 01:27:58,391
South Meridian here in

2450
01:27:58,391 --> 01:27:59,125
Indianapolis. And I'm proud

2451
01:27:59,125 --> 01:28:01,560
today to present behalf of the

2452
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:04,560
Damian Center Anke. Truly one

2453
01:28:07,834 --> 01:28:08,668
of the shining jewels and our

2454
01:28:08,668 --> 01:28:09,301
not for profit world providing

2455
01:28:09,301 --> 01:28:11,701
important services to our

2456
01:28:13,205 --> 01:28:15,605
community. And this case

2457
01:28:17,577 --> 01:28:18,644
relates directly to their

2458
01:28:18,644 --> 01:28:20,746
ability and their mission to

2459
01:28:20,746 --> 01:28:22,514
do that. I had not realized

2460
01:28:22,514 --> 01:28:24,550
until got engaged that amongst

2461
01:28:24,550 --> 01:28:26,950
other things. The Damian

2462
01:28:27,887 --> 01:28:30,887
Center does. It does have

2463
01:28:30,923 --> 01:28:31,590
housing component in terms of

2464
01:28:31,590 --> 01:28:33,225
offering services for those

2465
01:28:33,225 --> 01:28:36,225
who need it within that

2466
01:28:36,229 --> 01:28:38,163
community in that population,

2467
01:28:38,163 --> 01:28:41,163
clients that they serve. So

2468
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:44,136
the Damian Center, it's a

2469
01:28:44,136 --> 01:28:46,380
petitioner in this matter. We

2470
01:28:46,380 --> 01:28:47,807
are here today very similarly

2471
01:28:47,807 --> 01:28:51,407
to the last case because this

2472
01:28:51,811 --> 01:28:55,411
is a matter that we'll be

2473
01:28:56,682 --> 01:28:59,719
going before the I-8 cda in

2474
01:28:59,719 --> 01:29:00,419
JULY. So we we had asked the

2475
01:29:00,419 --> 01:29:02,622
hearing examiner and staff if

2476
01:29:02,622 --> 01:29:03,723
they would support a direct

2477
01:29:03,723 --> 01:29:07,323
transfer of this case to the

2478
01:29:07,493 --> 01:29:11,693
mdc so that we could meet. I

2479
01:29:12,299 --> 01:29:14,133
see deadlines and this enabled

2480
01:29:14,133 --> 01:29:15,302
us to appear before you today

2481
01:29:15,302 --> 01:29:16,869
and potentially get in front

2482
01:29:16,869 --> 01:29:19,869
of City County Council for

2483
01:29:19,939 --> 01:29:22,939
their meeting in JUNE. What

2484
01:29:25,711 --> 01:29:26,446
we're proposing today and I do

2485
01:29:26,446 --> 01:29:27,948
have Alan Witchy and Alexandra

2486
01:29:27,948 --> 01:29:30,948
under from Damian Center here

2487
01:29:31,885 --> 01:29:33,820
is well as the developer

2488
01:29:33,820 --> 01:29:34,754
recounts in the lane. A color

2489
01:29:34,754 --> 01:29:37,754
from a okay development that

2490
01:29:38,625 --> 01:29:39,293
are here to answer questions.

2491
01:29:39,293 --> 01:29:42,893
I got pulled into kind of

2492
01:29:44,464 --> 01:29:45,499
early part of the spring. And

2493
01:29:45,499 --> 01:29:47,367
already been conversations

2494
01:29:47,367 --> 01:29:49,367
initiated between the

2495
01:29:51,104 --> 01:29:51,938
development team and staff.

2496
01:29:51,938 --> 01:29:54,938
And as you probably heard

2497
01:29:56,877 --> 01:29:59,379
Nancy Reed. The case into

2498
01:29:59,379 --> 01:30:03,579
record, the site u One and u 2

2499
01:30:04,584 --> 01:30:06,152
zoning. The project that we're

2500
01:30:06,152 --> 01:30:06,820
proposing today is not a mixed

2501
01:30:06,820 --> 01:30:09,820
use project. It's a housing

2502
01:30:10,857 --> 01:30:11,491
project that would provide 39

2503
01:30:11,491 --> 01:30:13,891
to 42 units of permanent

2504
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:16,763
supportive housing. So we

2505
01:30:16,763 --> 01:30:19,763
didn't really need to. You

2506
01:30:20,967 --> 01:30:23,690
want you too? In talking with

2507
01:30:23,690 --> 01:30:24,404
planning staff? We asked what

2508
01:30:24,404 --> 01:30:25,272
would be the most appropriate

2509
01:30:25,272 --> 01:30:27,272
zoning classifications because

2510
01:30:28,175 --> 01:30:31,175
frankly, this type of building

2511
01:30:31,811 --> 01:30:32,912
and fit in any one of a number

2512
01:30:32,912 --> 01:30:34,948
of zoning classifications. And

2513
01:30:34,948 --> 01:30:35,649
the response was ball.

2514
01:30:35,649 --> 01:30:37,284
Whatever is going to generate

2515
01:30:37,284 --> 01:30:38,285
the less least amount of

2516
01:30:38,285 --> 01:30:40,685
variances. So with this

2517
01:30:41,955 --> 01:30:43,220
particular project, we believe

2518
01:30:43,220 --> 01:30:43,824
that we can get this done with

2519
01:30:43,824 --> 01:30:46,824
only one variance request and

2520
01:30:47,961 --> 01:30:48,895
that is for parking spaces.

2521
01:30:48,895 --> 01:30:51,295
But frankly, because we're

2522
01:30:52,666 --> 01:30:54,000
right on the blue line and so

2523
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,336
close to downtown and services

2524
01:30:56,336 --> 01:30:59,336
are parking demand for this

2525
01:31:00,207 --> 01:31:01,341
project is not significant for

2526
01:31:01,341 --> 01:31:03,510
those of you who are not

2527
01:31:03,510 --> 01:31:05,613
familiar with the site, it's

2528
01:31:05,613 --> 01:31:07,748
just a little bit more than a

2529
01:31:07,748 --> 01:31:08,381
mile east of where we are

2530
01:31:08,381 --> 01:31:10,551
today on east Washington

2531
01:31:10,551 --> 01:31:11,384
Street right next to kind of

2532
01:31:11,384 --> 01:31:13,784
the beautiful new building

2533
01:31:14,188 --> 01:31:16,588
that in Centreville. That

2534
01:31:18,910 --> 01:31:20,270
Oriental and Washington, this

2535
01:31:20,270 --> 01:31:22,960
particular parcel, which is

2536
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:23,264
partially improved. It is

2537
01:31:23,264 --> 01:31:24,300
located closer to Arsenal.

2538
01:31:24,300 --> 01:31:24,999
There's coffee shop of the

2539
01:31:24,999 --> 01:31:27,399
corner of Arsenal. Washington.

2540
01:31:29,970 --> 01:31:30,637
So you can see that kind of

2541
01:31:30,637 --> 01:31:34,237
flag didn't have one on the

2542
01:31:36,310 --> 01:31:39,310
aerial. Tattoos. Just a zoning

2543
01:31:39,446 --> 01:31:40,130
map which shows kind of the Mu

2544
01:31:40,130 --> 01:31:43,130
one. And m u 2 zoning

2545
01:31:43,417 --> 01:31:44,251
classifications for the site.

2546
01:31:44,251 --> 01:31:46,860
There's a variety of

2547
01:31:46,860 --> 01:31:47,555
commercial even industrial

2548
01:31:47,555 --> 01:31:50,555
mixed use and residential all

2549
01:31:51,258 --> 01:31:53,994
in the area. What you might

2550
01:31:53,994 --> 01:31:56,630
expect, it's highly urbanized

2551
01:31:56,630 --> 01:31:58,310
and lots of a variety of

2552
01:31:58,310 --> 01:32:00,267
different uses along this part

2553
01:32:00,267 --> 01:32:00,901
of the corridor. Now, the

2554
01:32:00,901 --> 01:32:01,569
interesting thing for you

2555
01:32:01,569 --> 01:32:03,704
guys, as decision makers to

2556
01:32:03,704 --> 01:32:06,704
know is that what we're

2557
01:32:07,241 --> 01:32:09,643
proposing is really right down

2558
01:32:09,643 --> 01:32:12,146
the middle of the plate. As

2559
01:32:12,146 --> 01:32:13,747
far as the comprehensive plan

2560
01:32:13,747 --> 01:32:14,949
is concerned and that he owed

2561
01:32:14,949 --> 01:32:18,549
the plan, which does want to

2562
01:32:18,586 --> 01:32:20,187
drive higher density type

2563
01:32:20,187 --> 01:32:21,880
housing, even though we have

2564
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:22,790
39 42 units were only on 4

2565
01:32:22,790 --> 01:32:26,990
tenths of an acre. So. This is

2566
01:32:27,594 --> 01:32:28,630
kind of that development that

2567
01:32:28,630 --> 01:32:29,296
both that he od and the

2568
01:32:29,296 --> 01:32:31,696
existing conference of plan

2569
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:33,670
for urban next use calls for

2570
01:32:33,670 --> 01:32:35,503
and we're very grateful to

2571
01:32:35,503 --> 01:32:38,503
have staff support. If you

2572
01:32:38,773 --> 01:32:39,473
turn to tab 3, 4, you can kind

2573
01:32:39,473 --> 01:32:43,177
of see our site plan that we

2574
01:32:43,177 --> 01:32:46,177
filed. Which shows an urban

2575
01:32:47,549 --> 01:32:49,949
setting. Pull with the

2576
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:51,886
building, pulled up to the

2577
01:32:51,886 --> 01:32:54,922
close of the building line and

2578
01:32:54,922 --> 01:32:56,424
sidewalk line as well as the

2579
01:32:56,424 --> 01:32:57,124
parking in the back. So that

2580
01:32:57,124 --> 01:32:59,600
is going to be the emphasis

2581
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:02,660
will be on building and not

2582
01:33:05,700 --> 01:33:08,100
parking. The. Plan. Immedately

2583
01:33:09,237 --> 01:33:12,237
is not fully developed like

2584
01:33:13,841 --> 01:33:14,509
the last plan presented was

2585
01:33:14,509 --> 01:33:17,645
because this is kind of an

2586
01:33:17,645 --> 01:33:18,345
evolving project. Now. The

2587
01:33:18,345 --> 01:33:20,745
built-in protection that you

2588
01:33:22,750 --> 01:33:24,619
have. As far as the commission

2589
01:33:24,619 --> 01:33:27,619
is concerned with regards our

2590
01:33:28,290 --> 01:33:28,990
plans, if you turn to tab 5

2591
01:33:28,990 --> 01:33:31,526
staff was gracious enough to

2592
01:33:31,526 --> 01:33:34,526
allow us to commit to

2593
01:33:35,430 --> 01:33:36,464
submitting final site plan and

2594
01:33:36,464 --> 01:33:37,980
building elevations 2 at 4

2595
01:33:37,980 --> 01:33:39,980
minutes. Traders approval

2596
01:33:41,336 --> 01:33:42,537
before we get permit. Lp, I

2597
01:33:42,537 --> 01:33:44,105
should say, for the project

2598
01:33:44,105 --> 01:33:46,908
and then the second commitment

2599
01:33:46,908 --> 01:33:48,420
which you can find it 5

2600
01:33:48,420 --> 01:33:50,845
relates to the fact that

2601
01:33:50,845 --> 01:33:52,347
because such a tight

2602
01:33:52,347 --> 01:33:53,140
environment with sidewalk and

2603
01:33:53,140 --> 01:33:55,550
building pulled right up to

2604
01:33:55,550 --> 01:33:57,550
Washington Street. Plus

2605
01:33:59,487 --> 01:34:01,487
Washington Street undergoing

2606
01:34:02,557 --> 01:34:04,225
changes as the transit

2607
01:34:04,225 --> 01:34:04,793
stations are being

2608
01:34:04,793 --> 01:34:06,793
implemented. Utility

2609
01:34:07,462 --> 01:34:10,398
relocation, a whole host of

2610
01:34:10,398 --> 01:34:11,399
things. We have agreed to work

2611
01:34:11,399 --> 01:34:12,660
with dpw on creating a

2612
01:34:12,660 --> 01:34:14,336
pedestrian safety plan that

2613
01:34:14,336 --> 01:34:16,336
would be implemented

2614
01:34:17,272 --> 01:34:17,872
throughout the period of

2615
01:34:17,872 --> 01:34:19,273
construction along East

2616
01:34:19,273 --> 01:34:21,476
Washington Street in that

2617
01:34:21,476 --> 01:34:22,410
area. For those of you who are

2618
01:34:22,410 --> 01:34:26,100
not familiar with the kind of

2619
01:34:26,715 --> 01:34:27,815
the existing conditions on

2620
01:34:27,815 --> 01:34:30,215
this section of Washington

2621
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:35,520
Street Tab. 6 has a number of

2622
01:34:35,557 --> 01:34:36,924
a street photos beginning with

2623
01:34:36,924 --> 01:34:38,760
the building and question as

2624
01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:39,461
well as the lot that would be

2625
01:34:39,461 --> 01:34:40,128
developed as part of this

2626
01:34:40,128 --> 01:34:42,597
project. But what I really

2627
01:34:42,597 --> 01:34:44,733
want to turn to you, your

2628
01:34:44,733 --> 01:34:47,733
attention to is the second

2629
01:34:49,304 --> 01:34:50,339
photo and tab 6. And that's

2630
01:34:50,339 --> 01:34:51,390
the newly completed Davion

2631
01:34:51,390 --> 01:34:54,390
Center building. You can see

2632
01:34:54,143 --> 01:34:54,809
the high quality materials,

2633
01:34:54,809 --> 01:34:56,809
the beautiful architecture,

2634
01:34:57,379 --> 01:34:58,460
and that's really what you're

2635
01:34:58,460 --> 01:35:01,617
going to be able to expect

2636
01:35:01,617 --> 01:35:02,584
with this project. This is

2637
01:35:02,584 --> 01:35:04,984
campus that Damian Centers

2638
01:35:06,422 --> 01:35:08,457
created. This will help fill

2639
01:35:08,457 --> 01:35:11,494
that out a little bit. And

2640
01:35:11,494 --> 01:35:13,629
we're very grateful to

2641
01:35:13,629 --> 01:35:15,970
engagement with Holy Cross

2642
01:35:15,970 --> 01:35:15,831
Neighborhood Council Brown did

2643
01:35:15,831 --> 01:35:18,367
email me and said he was

2644
01:35:18,367 --> 01:35:19,100
supportive of the project. He

2645
01:35:19,100 --> 01:35:21,203
wanted to hear from Holy

2646
01:35:21,203 --> 01:35:22,938
Cross. And I know that that

2647
01:35:22,938 --> 01:35:25,140
Allen, which he had met with

2648
01:35:25,140 --> 01:35:26,441
them doesn't we don't have a

2649
01:35:26,441 --> 01:35:29,478
letter from a lacrosse, but he

2650
01:35:29,478 --> 01:35:31,380
assures me that we do have

2651
01:35:31,380 --> 01:35:33,482
their support. There was

2652
01:35:33,482 --> 01:35:34,783
another e-mail that I think

2653
01:35:34,783 --> 01:35:36,519
was sent to staff that is in

2654
01:35:36,519 --> 01:35:37,219
the file. So as you notice, we

2655
01:35:37,219 --> 01:35:37,886
don't have any room on

2656
01:35:37,886 --> 01:35:40,322
straight ers. We believe we

2657
01:35:40,322 --> 01:35:42,322
have pretty comprehensive

2658
01:35:42,625 --> 01:35:43,292
support, including that from

2659
01:35:43,292 --> 01:35:43,959
your staff. Happy to answer

2660
01:35:43,959 --> 01:35:46,959
any questions you MAY have.
