 Good afternoon. I'd like to call this meeting of the City Planning Commission to order Let's start with a pledge of allegiance. Please stand and join me Next item on the agenda is introduction of the committee members and staff Jim, would you like to start? Mike van der steen mayor and chairman Next item is does any of the commissioners have any conflict of interest with items on the agenda this evening? Seeing none, then we'll move on to the minutes from our meeting on September 24th. I'm looking for a motion to approve those minutes Thank you for that motion in support is there any discussion on the minutes Seeing none all those in favor, please signify by saying aye Chair votes aye opposed motion passes Then we'll move on to items for discussion and possible action The first one is item 3.1 Which is a conditional use application by George B. Yang to convert the second floor office space into two apartments at 1227 North 9th Street Steve Jeff Smith is here from Smith's architect who's representing George B. Yang with regards to the proposal at 1227 North 9th Street and 831 Michigan Avenue presently this facility George B. Yang operates Home health care out of the first four of it used to be I believe I think on the sun it even says on the picture Scots home improvements. So this is the southeast corner of the intersection of Michigan Avenue and North 9th Street When you take a look at the photos that are on The computer right now you can see there's a one story Aspects of the building and then a two-story aspect of the building and and so the first story Is going to remain commercial commercial tenants But in the second story presently on the east side of the building it's used for Storage and just small commercial purposes And so what the applicant would like to do is to convert that back into two apartments Approximately about 10 Maybe about 10 years ago. It was converted from apartments to commercial. I believe it might have been all state or state farm Burkhart, okay, thank you And and then they converted those apartments into office space And now this gentleman mr. Yang is looking to Convert that second floor space back into two apartments Right now it's staff's understanding that this space is vacant and used for just a little bit of storage As plan commissions aware both the staff and plan commission have been encouraging downtown living and this is another Opportunity for that to occur. So staff was recommending approval the only comment that We had was with regards to a dumpster enclosure Presently there's not one there. They don't necessarily need one But if dumpsters are going to be on site they would have to construct the enclosure And we would prefer to see that On the east side of the parking lot and not along the ninth street side So staff was recommending approval of the conditional use permit and the applicants here I don't believe there's any neighbors here for this one, mayor Thank you very much steve with the applicant's representative like to make any comments Stairs still are they look just like they were apartments because Burkhart when they were in there They basically put desks in the room. So there's there's kitchens that are in there There's a living room and and two bedrooms in each of the two apartments. So Nothing really looks any different He's not intending to change anything at all because He's just sprucing it up and putting some new paint and stuff on the walls It's about it. All right. Thank you commissioners. Do you have any questions? Any motions Okay, we have a motion in a second. Is there any discussion on that motion? Seeing none all those in favor, please signify by seeing I Chair votes. I opposed motion passes. Thanks for your presentation tonight and good luck with the project Item 3.2 is a conditional use and variance application by A million dreams Inc to operate a family enrichment and child care center at 14 23 north 29th street steve All right The applicants are here angel berry and nina bemus as long as well as their architect and contractor nickardus and joel vanas from abacus architects What we're taking a look at today and You guys will probably be able to explain some of the uses better than I can but I'm going to go through some of the information You provided we're taking a look at north 29th street. Um, I believe this was the old Superior electric. Thank you Spend bacon for a number of years has been for sale for a number of years. And so there's been the opportunity for Uh, miss berry and bemus to take a look at the property and to potentially come up with a million dreams Which is a proposal to operate a family enrichment and child care center This is a phase development and in your staff report and There's a little bit of information that discusses and I'm sure the applicants can speak to how that phasing will occur Um, their center would operate on multiple shifts for both full-time and part-time employees in order to provide 24 hours of care per day seven days per week They would be providing healthy meals and snacks as well as entertainment learning activities appropriate for all ages age groups as needed Clients will include families in shabuigan and the surrounding communities particularly those families in need of second or third shift Care and weekend care early morning care and special needs care um Some of the site improvements. I don't know if we can get maybe to the site plan. I think it's later in the report um They would be constructing 17 new um parking spaces along superior avenue I think it's way at the end Which would be new spaces that would be created Keep going. There we go So at the bottom of the page is superior avenue and uh, oh there we go Up superiors avenue is to the left and 29th street is to the bottom and 28th street is to the north So you can kind of see what they're looking at doing is um, they would be remodeling the existing facility both exterior and interior they would be doing improvements at the Intersection of 29th street and superior avenue. They're greening that up and looking to include To install a sign in that area. There's quite a bit of uh different traffic movements So by eliminating and putting that green space They've done a drive-through for people to come along 29th street And then they've added parking along superior avenue In addition, there's play space that would be available. You can see how that's fenced It's basically east of the building and goes all the way to 28th street They do show some Vinyl fencing that they're proposing to install Nice attractive looking fence along those areas. So those are a couple of the site improvements that they're looking at The applicants have indicated that with the number of large employers in our county who run multiple shifts There's not adequate off shift care available to employment seekers And it's their understanding that the companies struggle with employees unable to find child care and they hope to rectify that issue In the scope of special needs children the situation is worse And they've experienced firsthand about the lack of quality trained care available for the special needs And they're hoping that a million dreams can provide that care for those individuals who need that Um, the the family center would be much more than just child care It'd be a resource place for all families and provide services such as support groups educational classes to encourage healthy living Good parenting onsite therapy for children with special needs respite care for teens and young adults and advocacy for low-income families The location at 9th and or 29th and superior is ideal Due to its easy access to many of the major thoroughfares in the city and easy access to 23 and 43 It also allows for a bus service to the facility The site offers sufficient green space to promote healthy outdoor activities to the children in their care The size of in location and the layout of the building lends itself to their vision of a home like child care center It has ample room to accommodate large number of children large safe space for gross motor skill activities With sensory integration playroom and accommodation for overnight children So they may have a comfortable and restful sleep Um a million dreams will be creating jobs But more importantly will be offering the services that many families currently lack So they may better seek a better quality of life through employment and continual education And providing child daycare all hours of the day and all days of the week Two clients in a time of need. We'll be appealing to an economically diverse clientele Some of which are already seeking these services and others who will be further drawn to the community Knowing that these services are available Um a couple of just staff comments There the presently there are five lots that make up the site together The applicant will just be responsible for combining those into one property One of the items on the site plan is when you look at the fence along 28th street, it does look there The the right-of-way along 28th street. It looks like the sidewalk is directly behind the curb So the property line may be a little bit further to the west So you just want to know where that property line is before you Fence that just to make sure that that fence is on your property Again, this is a phase development So there may be uses of the building that happen before others And so you just need to work with the building inspection department in terms of use and occupancy and things of that Nature they do show a conceptual drawing for a monument sign to be located at that Corner of 29th and superior. They'll eventually submit a sign permit for the sign itself A couple of variances one is to have a six-foot solid fence in the front yard Again, we're just talking about that little stretch along 28th street The reason being is obviously they want to the the children to be in an area that is fenced and not have the ability for Balls or kids to have the opportunity to get out onto the street To have a zero-foot paving step back. That's already existing. That's at the south West corner of the property line. It's where it's shared access previously with a garage Other than that staff was recommending approval subject to the conditions you have before you the applicants are here And there is a neighbor here as well Thank you very much for that report steve. Would the applicants like to make some comments? Yeah, okay. Yeah. All right commissioners. Do you have any questions? Alderperson boron People that are that on this what is their background in this field? Of child care except for the lectern to respond Hi, i'm angel berry.

Qualified staff depends on the client. It depends on the child's needs We already have some people interested in coming to work for us when we do open So we've got some nurses a cna special education teacher But as those clients grow and as those needs grow then we'll be Looking to meet whatever qualifications that they need. Thank you Thank you very much any other questions Marilyn, thank you. It sounds wonderful. It's a great plan. Thank you. And of course Second and third shift is definitely needed Go for it. Good.

So that's what's before you today the encroachments that you see are Kind of highlighted in yellow here You can see one is for a very small triangular piece next to the driveway where there's some sidewalk That will connect from the private development to 10th street The other is for the driveway itself that's connecting into 10th street And then there is a bit of sidewalk on the River side of the units along the river that is going to be in The city of right away. These are all improved rights away And we've previously looked and discussed them and now we're formally going through the encroachment process So staff was recommending approval of the request Thank you very much steve Anyone else that wants to speak about this?

I noticed on your website It says that they're condominiums not apartments. Is it a mix of the two? Okay Jen They started out as condos and when we originally had negotiated the development agreement They were going to build condos and then they ran into some concerns with Financing and something else.
