Phillips Ave., impact on accessibility, banners facing Milwaukee Turner Hall being advertisements, lack of or altered sympathetic installations towards Milwaukee Turner Hall, and uncertainty with the development of Lots 2 and 3.
Atty. John Wirth, representing Save Milwaukee Music Scene LLC, testified on the development not meeting the spirit of the original DPD, moving of the frontage back from the eastern street as opposed to the street level, lack of street activation, lack of accountability for Lot 2, lack of meeting of technical requirements or a bare meeting of those requirements, a redacted traffic study presented a year ago not being satisfactory, semis and busing potentially parking on the gravel lot, there being no enforceable plans presented, for the venue to be reconfigured with a plaza to the west the venue moving east to be at the street edge, the new safety plan being insufficient, and for there to be a condition set on the number of trucking to be at the venue.
Emelio De Torre, Milwaukee Turner Hall, testified with concerns on the new modifications, the traffic study not addressing the drop offs and VIP entries, the drop offs and VIP entries impacting Milwaukee Turner Hall, there being parking of semis and busing on the gravel lot, Lot 2 possibly being an extension of the gravel lot, and the safety and security report being inadequate with having no concrete plans.
Public testimony in support:
Mr. Inman testified to developing a hospitality hotel on Lot 3.
Atty. Brian Randall, Davis|Kuelthau, S.C., testified to representing FPC Live, that there was an updated safety plan that would be reviewed by MPD, that there will be coordination of meeting with neighbors on safety, and the traffic plan would be updated based on the conditions mentioned.
Peter Rickman, Milwaukee Area Service and Hospitality Workers Organization, testified on increased union job opportunities and family supported hospitality and entertainment service employment for city residents with the addition of the new venue.
Responding to questions from commissioners:
Mr. Plant said that the updated safety plan was preliminary and ongoing and that Lot 2 surveillance would be a collaborative effort with all neighbors, FPC Live has had support from the fire and police departments from their facilities in other jurisdictions, they were open to amend the safety plan due to changes in Lot 2, they have not held any community meetings since the first approval process, trucks and buses would not be in the public right of way and Lot 2, the second VIP entry being for pedestrian use only and not for vehicular loading, and the private drive being important for loading purposes and the development of Lot 3.
Mr. Uhen said that the banners on the east facade would be artistic and not for advertisement purposes, Lot 2 would be greenspace and not gravel, the banner artwork would be coordinated with neighbors, they still were being sympathetic to Milwaukee Turner Hall, the southern VIP entry would be a convenience entry, majority of VIP entry would be at the north court, busing and semi would typically operate and park at different times, the reconfiguration of the venue to be at the street edge with a plaza to the west was not an option, and Lot 3 development was still anticipated to occur.
Michael Belot, Milwaukee Bucks, said that MidAmerica was their broker, a variety of different uses would be considered (food/beverage and retail).
Vice-chair Nemec moved conditional approval, seconded by member Sas-Perez. (Prevailed 4-0-1) Chair Bloomingdale abstained.
