DevJam (Former Java Jack's Location) Opening Coffee Bar in East Harriet!
Kingfield residents David Hussman and Andrien Thomas owners of DevJam (formerly Java Jacks) have been inspired by neighborhood requests to open their doors to the public with a coffee bar, pastries, sandwiches,snacks and beer and wine (if the city allows). Their goal is to produce a place for commuters to grab java to go, day workers (independent who are looking for a place to work and not feel guilty), and locals who simply want to sit and chat. In the evenings the place will change its tone towards a mellow space to gather and relax over a drink and a small bite of food. Lastly, it will be a weekend place for families to gather and people walking to and from the lake to stop and enjoy the sidewalk tables or the openness and environment they have found in the building for years.
David and Andrien are currently working with the City of Minneapolis to ensure all regulations are met. The coffee bar is expected to open later this summer. More details and date announcements will follow.

40th & Lyndale Redevelopment Plan Update
Following several meetings with neighbors and Council Members Tuthill and Glidden, 40th & Lyndale developer, Paul Dzubnar was unable to get the required number of signatures from affected residents to rezone 4008 Lyndale Ave from a R1A to C1 to build a parking lot adjacent to his proposed restaurant, the Crooked Pint.

Met Council SW Sewer Project Meeting & Open House May 8
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) is holding a public meeting and open house on Thursday, May 8 to discuss the upcoming rehabilitation work on the aging and deteriorating regional sewers in Linden Hills and East Harriet Farmstead Neighborhood.
The meeting and open house will take place at Linden Hills Recreation Center, 3100 W 43rd St from 6:30-8 pm. A formal presentation and question-and-answer session will begin at 6:45 p.m. The remainder of the time will be an open house format. MCES staff and consultants will use maps to show where work on the regional sanitary sewers will be done, will describe how and when the work will take place, and will discuss potential impacts and efforts to mitigate the impacts.
Schedule of where and when the work will take place (Map)
During the rehabilitation of the sewers, you may experience some temporary inconveniences as the work takes place within your neighborhood. They may include temporary parking and traffic restrictions; contractor equipment parking; extended work hours, including 24-hour operations during portions of the project; and lights, dust and some noise from pumps, generators and other construction equipment. There also may be a resin smell from the curing of the new sewer liner and the potential for sewer odor related to the repair work. MCES and its contractor will work to minimize these odors. We also encourage property owners to make sure there is water in all of the drain traps in their property, as this helps contain odors in the underground pipes.
The sewer rehabilitation work is likely to temporarily interrupt sanitary sewer service for two to five days for properties on Kings Highway from the intersection of Rose Way Road to 36th St., and on 36th St. from Kings Highway to the alley between Colfax Ave. and Bryant Ave. This is because the sanitary sewer lateral lines from these properties connect directly to the regional sewer in need of repair. MCES or its contractor will contact the affected property residents at least four weeks before the work is scheduled to occur, and will compensate them for relocation to a hotel during the sewer service disruption. For approximately 50 properties within 50 feet of the construction, we will want to do pre- and post-construction condition surveys of the properties.
How Will the Work Be Done?
Liners will be installed in the existing sewers using trenchless technology, which will help reduce the amount of excavation required. Sewer maintenance holes will be repaired or replaced as needed, and some maintenance holes will be removed from service. The sewer rehabilitation work will require diversion of wastewater through temporary pipes that generally will be above ground, but they will be buried at driveway entrances and roadway crossings. Except as allowed by the Minneapolis Traffic Department, these temporary sewer pipes will not block any roadways. Excavations will be needed at all maintenance holes and at several additional locations for the temporary sewer pipes. MCES is coordinating its work in park areas with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to try to minimize impact to parkland and to restore affected areas to Park Board requirements.
Additional information about the Southwest Minneapolis Interceptor Rehabilitation Project will be posted and updated periodically on the Metropolitan Council's website.

Schedule of where and when the work will take place (Map)
- Segment 1 - May through July 2014: Portions of West Calhoun Parkway, William Berry Parkway and East Lake Harriet Parkway (all areas are west of the Roberts Bird Sanctuary).
- Segment 2 - mid-June through November 2014: Kings Highway from the intersection of Rose Way Road to 36th St., including a portion of Lyndale Farmstead Park, and 36th St. from Kings Highway to the alley between Colfax Ave. and Bryant Ave. (all areas are east of the Roberts Bird Sanctuary).
- Segment 3 - September 2014 through January 2015: Portions of Roberts Bird Sanctuary and the Peace Gardens (landscape restoration will follow in spring 2015).

Ward 13 Public Meeting:Updating Beer & Wine Ordinances
Thurs., Aug. 21
6:30 p.m.
Lynnhurst Community Center
(Minnehaha Pkwy and W. 50th St)
All City residents invited to attend.
Ward 13 Council Member Linea Palmisano and Lynnhurst Neighborhood Association are hosting a public meeting regarding proposed changes to the ordinances regulating alcohol sales in restaurants in Minneapolis. The proposed changes will be discussed and feedback will be heard from residents and business owners. A public hearing on the proposed changes is expected to take place in September.
The proposed ordinance changes will remove arbitrary sales ratios on food and alcohol that place an unnecessary burden on many businesses that are well-run, positive assets to our neighborhoods. Although the new rules would not require a certain percentage of food sales compared to alcohol, restaurants would still be required derive a substantial amount of their income from the sale of food and non-alcoholic beverages. The proposed ordinance changes will not change the type of establishment or entertainment that's allowed in a particular location-for example, bars will still not be allowed in Southwest Minneapolis.
Alongside these proposals, voters will decide this November whether or not to remove the 70% food to 30% alcohol provision for restaurants in residential areas. If voters choose to remove that requirement from the Charter, those restaurants will be subject to the new ordinances. If voters keep it in place, restaurants in residential areas will still be held to the 70%-30% requirement.

Thank You East Harriet Clean Up Team!
East Harriet Farmstead Neighborhood Association had 18 fantastic volunteers who participated in the citywide North Side Volunteer Tornado Clean Up on June 4th. Working side-by-side with 2,000 other volunteers, the East Harriet team picked up tree branches, shingles, glass, wood and other tornado debris as part of rebuilding North Minneapolis. It was also a great opportunity to meet our neighbors, reconnect with friends from the past and make new ones.
What we accomplished as a community is truly something to be proud of. Its important to look for and recognize those acts of compassion, volunteer efforts, hard work in planning by city officials and a whole host of other agencies who so quickly came together to help our neighbors in need.
As one of our volunteers said, '...this is where people raise families and children play...it's so important they have a positive image of their neighborhood'. She's right. It's pride of place. It's community. It's the future.

Information Insulation Art at Locus Architecture
Locus Architecture invites their East Harriet neighbors to an evening reception on November 4 from 5-9 pm at 708 W 40th Street to view an exhibit of 1940's newspapers.
Imagine keeping your place warm by wrapping it with issues of the Star Tribune. In the years around World War II, building owners did just that, stuffing the walls and ceilings with yesterday's news. When Locus opened up the ceiling in the old Triangle Printing space they found a 1940 time capsule.
Information Insulation Art brings new life to the old newsprint, displaying the Star Journal and Times Tribune as art. Stop by Locus, for their renovation celebration to view history in a modern art exhibit.
Refreshments, discussion, and a quiz generated from the papers will accompany the exhibition.
