00:25:07 Nicole Blumner: www.delmarfbd.com 00:52:27 davidkravitz: on behalf of my neighbors, I urge you to delete the Trolley from your planning. It does not serve any good purpose. The system brings traffic to an extra stop at major intersections: Skinker/Delmar, Delmar/Debaliviere, Forest Park Pkway/Debaliviere and Lindell. Please, let’s admit a mistake and avoid spending money to resurrect a project that serves no use. 00:57:50 Patty Weisensee (she/her/hers): Given that Kingsbury Square has been developed fairly recently (and likely not going to change soon), what is the reason behind including it in this district consideration, whereas most other current residential areas in Skinker-DeBaliviere and east of DeBaliviere are not? 01:06:40 Rachelle L'Ecuyer: There will be a Question & Answer session at the end of the presentation. We will let Tim know that questions are being asked here. Thank you for the questions! 01:16:35 Dan Schesch: Concern that maximum height be higher than 5-6 stories. 01:17:55 Dan Schesch: Concern that 0 setback not allow restaurants that have outside seating, which interferes with pedestrians. Building to have restaurants on 1st floor should have a setback of perhaps 10 feet from building line, so tables are on the building property, not the ROW. 01:18:24 Richard Bose: If someone wants to build something that doesn't ift in the FBD can they try to get a variance by the same process as currently exists? 01:18:27 Patty Weisensee (she/her/hers): +1 for Dan's "restaurant" comment 01:19:29 Lisa Potts: I agree with Dan on granting commercial spaces setback to allow for outdoor seating 01:20:03 Thomas Mooney: The standards address height and setbacks, but do they have anything to say about “fine-grainedness”/width? The variety of buildings is an important character, especially in the Loop, and large monoliths seem detrimental to that. 01:20:31 Jo Ann Vatcha: You mentioned Rosedale as an 8-story max ht. Is that north of Delmar? 01:20:48 Mary Hart Burton: Can you talk abit about the reason for reducing parking requirements in this FBC, this is our first TOD-FBD and some may not understand that. 01:21:41 Lisa Potts: it looks like the study area covers both sides of all streets except for Hodiamont, which looks like only one side - can this plan look at both sides of the street for continuity? 01:22:01 Anne Posega: max height of 12 stories on SE and SW corner of Skinker Delmar intersection seems excessive as it backs up on residences and the church 01:22:22 Dan Schesch: I meant NO higher than 5-6 stories. 01:22:55 Anne Posega: what about parking along delmar area, what is the design consideration for off street parking, garage lot if this infills with commercial properties? 01:22:55 Thomas Mooney: I would be opposed to lowering the maximum height standards 01:23:00 Monique Thomas: Admission from a laymen who is learning to appreciate this important discussion. I’m struggling to see these critical decisions as non-arbitrary or a matter of preference, can someone talk generally about the possible underlying implications of each of these decision points? Maybe general insight about what one might gain or lose from any decision. 01:23:14 Jake Banton | Mackey Mitchell: What's the thought process for allowing a residential ground floor use for the eastern section of Delmar? That condition exists on DeBaliviere, but not really on Delmar until you go further east on Delmar. I think I'd prefer the more active uses on Delmar all the way to DeBaliviere. 01:24:51 Justin’s iPhone: How will you incorporate green energy/sustainable design into the design of these future developments ? 01:24:57 gordon: Most of Delmar should stay at 3 stories. Is brick fronts included? 01:25:02 Lisa Potts: I agree with Jake - I don't like the idea of residential on the ground floor on Delmar- it we are trying to build a solid commercial district 01:25:54 Jo Ann Vatcha: In regard to prohibited uses, a good start is the Delmar Commercial District guidelines which were included in the original development ordinance. 01:26:15 Justin’s iPhone: Can we become a LEED platinum certified form base code district? 01:27:09 Tonnie Smith: I think Tim said it earlier but I want to make sure that the boundary can include the 800 block of Hodiamont, which is directly behind Wash U North campus and just off Delmar 01:27:28 Dan Schesch: Developers do not like to spend the money on parking. Should have requirements in form based code. 01:27:38 C Reddy: I would also prefer the maximum building height on Delmar to be 3 stories to create more charm as opposed to feeling suffocated by all tall buildings. 01:28:27 Lisa Potts: thank you 01:29:18 Robert Strikwerda: I am treasurer of West End Neighbors; Walter Bonner, also on this, is VP of WEN. As far as I know WEN has NOT been involved in this process. You seem to have confused the West End Plan with WEN. Although we cooperate, are friendly, we are distinct organizations. You need to reach out to Madeliene Brice, our president, at westendneighbors.stl@gmail.com. We will let her know. 01:29:48 gordon: Farther east on Delmar is a building with 200 units and no off street parking which is a major problem. 01:31:09 Richard Bose: I think less parking can help with housing affordability. I support not having parking mandates. 01:31:34 Tonnie Smith: Robert Walter Bonner is the representative for West End Neighbors 01:31:37 Jo Ann Vatcha: Accessibility standards, especially street level access and parking need to be included and enhanced. 01:31:38 Rachelle L'Ecuyer: Hi Robert, Walter Bonner is on the Steering Committee. 01:32:24 Marvin: Should we allow upper floor uses to include short-term rentals, which would focus tourism energy for the major arteries and deter them from established residential streets where they convert existing S-F houses? 01:33:02 Lisa Potts: Marvin, like Airbnb? 01:33:43 Marvin: Exactly like Airbnb. It's a business (hotel) use for tourists. 01:34:17 Lisa Potts: i like that idea 01:35:55 Robert Strikwerda: My apologies. As I said “as far as I know’. I asked Madeliene about this meeting; she did not mention Walter’s role. 01:36:08 Rachelle L'Ecuyer: Just a reminder: The website is www.delmarfbd.com We have resources there and will be posting recorded meetings on the website. 01:36:11 Dan Schesch: When parking is not provided, people tend to park within the adjacent residential neighborhood, fighting for spade with residents. Witness the multi-families on the 60xx & 61xx blocks of Waterman. Most people even if using transit for going to work, retain one car for errands to the suburbs and other city neighborhoods. Space should be provided. Same with stores not just oriented to residents, such as most Delmar stores west of Des Peres through about Fitz's Root Beer, where the large lot north of Delmar starts. 01:36:52 gordon: Can redevelopment of Bistate garage be treated different from the rest? 01:39:21 Erich Friesen: I would want to second Richard Bose's comment, do not include parking mandates. We build cities for people, not cars. 01:39:28 Nicole Blumner: Is there a precedent for an inclusionary housing requirement in the FBD, so we can insure continued affordable units in the community? 01:39:44 Dan Schesch: I agree with Vatcha re accessibility standards. 01:39:45 Stephen Ducker: I think taller buildings and higher density is important to support the retail uses along Delmar. There is a minimum density required to make a commercial district viable. 01:43:56 Jeff Stokes: is there a way to associate parking depending upon the height of the building 01:46:36 Patty Weisensee (she/her/hers): @ garage. Is there a possibility to have the S part to be similar to the Kingsbury Square and only the Delmar-facing front be mixed? 01:47:16 Patty Weisensee (she/her/hers): that would be in contradiction to the minimum height of 3 stories... 01:48:16 Dan Schesch: hat is the website address? 01:48:17 Arline Webb: Thank you for this presentation. 01:48:21 Thomas Mooney: Thanks for the presentation! 01:48:40 Timothy Breihan: Thank you, all!
