Members Meeting
D.C. Board of Zoning. Ms. Kathleen Sutherland had attended the set-down meeting and gave a quick recap. The set-down meeting is a public meeting but comments from the public are not received. The voting commissioners were not enthusiastic but voted to allow EYA’s application to move forward so that EYA may be added to the agenda for public meetings. Concerns of the commissioners included traffic, density, building heights, building aesthetics, rooftop decks, and affordable (vs. market) rates.
Mr. David Conrad solicited members for their input to a draft of MPCA position regarding the proposed EYA development. The draft was distributed and read. A discussion followed.
The meeting concluded at 09:15 p.m.
