Key: ***** means unidentified speaker. APRIL 22, 2015 9:30 AM Hales: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the April 22nd meeting of the City Council. Would you please call the roll? Fish: Here. Saltzman: Here. Novick: Here. Fritz: Here. Hales: Here. Hales: Good morning, everyone. We have communications items up front, then a couple of time certain items, and then the rest of our agenda. I have one request to pull something off the consent calendar and put it onto the regular calendar, and that’s 399. Anything else? OK. With that, let’s take the communication items, please. Item 390. Parsons: I understand she cannot make it today. Hales: OK. I think there are several people signed up on the same topic, so we could take three at once, if that works for you -- or four at once, if you have four chairs. Item 391. Item 392. Item 393. Item 394. Hales: Good morning. Perry Salzhauer: Good morning, Council. My name is Perry Salzhauer. I’m first on the list, but we would like to request a change in order. Kate Howser would like to speak first. Hales: Each of you gets three minutes, so however you want to divide it up. Kate Howser: Great. Good morning. The other speakers and I are here on behalf of Livable West Tabor Neighborhoods, a coalition of residents impacted by four multi-family developments planned along SE 50th between Mill and Division. These proposed developments will add more than 250 new units with extremely limited parking along a 0.3-mile stretch of road within one year. Of particular concern is a 45-foot tall, 83-unit building being planned on a commercial zoned lot at 1916 SE 50th. This lot is a zoning anomaly, part of a very small section of CG lots alongside R1-zoned single family homes on 50th and abutting R5-zoned homes on 51st and beyond. Developers are exploiting the zoning anomaly on our street in order to build according to the denser and taller commercial code while taking advantage of the quality of life and community that the surrounding residential areas provides. The pace and volume of these changes generated a lot of concern in our neighborhood. I live across the street from the building I mentioned, and this proposed development is so out of scale with the neighborhood that it will result in a drastic loss of solar access, privacy, views, and property values not just for people like me who live close to it, but also for people several blocks away.
