[4:19] >> THANK YOU, CHAIR BJORNBERG. [4:22] COMMISSIONERS MY NAME IS ANDREA [4:24] BURKE AND I'M THE I DO HAVE A [4:27] FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS. FIRST, I [4:29] WANTED TO MENTION THAT THE [4:31] HISTORIC THAT -- THE MINNEAPOLIS [4:34] PRESERVATION AWARDS ARE COMING [4:34] UP NEXT WEEK. IT IS THURSDAY [4:37] MARCH 13TH AT THE CAPRI THEATER [4:39] WHICH IS 2027 WEST BROADWAY. [4:42] THEY START AT ABOUT 5:00 PM WHEN [4:45] YOU CAN START SHOWING UP AND [4:46] THEY LAST UNTIL 7:30. THEY [4:50] AWARD RECIPIENTS HAVE BEEN [4:52] ANNOUNCED SO THANK YOU TO THOSE [4:53] WHO VOLUNTEERED TO SIT ON THE [4:54] JURY HERE. SO YOU CAN GO LOOK [4:58] AT THAT AT THE WEBSITE. AND [5:00] THERE ARE SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT [5:02] ARE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICTS. [5:06] WITH THAT I DO HAVE A FEW [5:09] OTHERS. [5:13] THERE WAS ONE APPEAL I DID [5:16] NEGLECT TO MENTION AT THE LAST [5:18] HPC MEETING THAT WE HEARD THAT [5:19] DAY. WE'VE RECEIVED AN APPEAL [5:22] ON THE CONDITION FOR A PROJECT [5:24] THAT WAS HEARD AT ON FEBRUARY [5:28] 4TH. 207 EAST. THERE'S A [5:33] VARIETY OF SCOPES OF WORK THAT [5:35] WERE INCLUDED IN THAT PROJECT [5:36] AND THEN THERE ARE A NUMBER OF [5:38] CONDITIONS AND THE APPLICANTS [5:40] APPEALED ONE OF THE CONDITIONS [5:41] AND WERE GRANTED THE APPEAL SO I [5:43] WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT DATE. [5:45] THERE WAS ALSO AN APPEAL [5:46] OF 3501 HIAWATHA AVENUE, THE [5:49] DEMOLITION OF THE GRAIN [5:50] ELEVATORS. THAT ACTUALLY JUST [5:52] WENT TO BUSINESS HOUSING AND [5:54] ZONING COMMITTEE TODAY. THAT [5:58] APPEAL WAS DENIED. THE APPEAL [6:00] WAS TO, OF COURSE, OVERTURN THE [6:03] HPC'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE [6:04] THE DEMOLITION. SO THE [6:07] DEMOLITION WILL CONTINUE AS [6:08] PLANNED BY THE DEVELOPERS. [6:14] AND THEN ALSO I WANTED TO [6:15] LET YOU KNOW THAT A WHILE AGO WE [6:19] HAD SPENT A LOT OF TIME REVISING [6:22] OUR WEBSITE AND REVAMPING IT, [6:24] REORGANIZING IT AND A SECOND [6:25] PART OF THAT WAS TO REVISE ALL [6:28] OF OUR LANDMARK AND HISTORIC [6:30] DISTRICT PROFILES TO BE IN PLAIN [6:33] LANGUAGE. I GUESS THIS CAME [6:38] FROM A FEDERAL DIRECTIVE. AND [6:39] SO WE SPENT THE -- ALMOST AN [6:41] ENTIRE YEAR DOING THIS. [6:44] SYSTEMATICALLY REWRITING EVERY [6:46] SINGLE ONE OF OUR OVER 200 [6:47] DESIGNATED PROPERTIES. [6:50] DESCRIPTIONS WITH PICTURES AND [6:54] INTO PLAIN LANGUAGE SO IT IS [6:55] MORE READABLE ON THE WEBSITE. [6:58] AND IT WAS A HUGE [6:59] ACCOMPLISHMENT. THAT IS NOW [7:01] LIVE SO IT IS -- YOU KNOW, YOU [7:02] CAN GO THERE. YOU CAN NAVIGATE [7:03] TO IT. YOU COULD SEE IT. [7:06] ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC CAN SEE [7:06] IT. AND JUST WANT TO REALLY [7:10] MUCH THANK EVERYBODY ON OUR [7:11] TEAM. THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION [7:13] TEAM. WE HAD HELP FROM OUTSIDE [7:15] OF OUR TEAM TO DO THIS. WE HAVE [7:18] COMMUNICATIONS HELP AND I [7:20] JUST -- AM VERY HAPPY AND PROUD [7:22] THAT WE ARE WERE ABLE TO [7:23] ACCOMPLISH THIS. AND TO FINALLY [7:25] GET THIS WEBSITE INTO SHAPE AND [7:28] MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. [7:31] FOR INFORMATION ON THE [7:35] CONTEXT STUDY THERE HAS BEEN A [7:36] DRAFT THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE [7:39] STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION [7:41] OFFICE, HPC VOLUNTEERS THIS IS [7:43] THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CULTURAL [7:44] CONTEXT STUDY. AFRICAN-AMERICAN [7:46] WORKGROUP MEMBERS AND IT WAS [7:48] ALSO POSTED ONLINE IN THE AGENDA [7:51] FOR THE LAST WEEKS WORKGROUP [7:53] MEETINGS SO IF ANYBODY IS [7:56] INTERESTED WHO DID NOT [7:56] SPECIFICALLY VOLUNTEER TO [7:57] RECEIVE A COPY, YOU ARE WELCOME [7:59] TO GO TO THAT AGENDA AND TAKE A [8:01] LOOK. THE CITY'S AGENDA. FOR A [8:07] DRAFT OF THAT CONTEXT STUDY. [8:09] COMMENTS ARE COMING [8:10] TOGETHER. I THINK WE'RE HAVING [8:12] COMMENT PERIOD UNDER THE END OF [8:13] MARCH. FOR SOME OF THOSE FOLKS [8:15] THAT ARE REVIEWING IT AND THEN [8:17] ALSO THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY [8:19] SURVEY OF THE 25 PROPERTIES THAT [8:20] IS GOING ALONG IN CONJUNCTION [8:24] WITH THAT CONTEXT STUDY IS IN [8:27] PROGRESS AT THE MOMENT. [8:29] AND THEN THERE WAS -- THE [8:31] MOST RECENT MEETING OF THE [8:33] AFRICAN-AMERICAN HERITAGE [8:33] WORKGROUP WAS LAST WEEK. OUR [8:34] NEXT MEETING WILL BE IN MARCH, [8:37] ON MARCH 25TH. AND THEN ALSO [8:39] JUST A HEAD'S UP, THERE WILL BE [8:40] A FEW MORE MEETINGS AND THEN THE [8:43] WORKGROUP WILL CONCLUDE IN JUNE.
