PUBLIC HEARING ON ANNEXATION OF PROPERTY AT 10809 TOM WATSON PARKWAY 

 

Dr. Knuth and her husband were present to speak on the petition for annexation, and they also gave information about rezoning the property to R-4, which will come before the board on April 15th.  They want to use this property for a dental office.  Dr. Knuth’s office in presently in the Parkville Heights Shopping Center.  They have talked with MoDOT and that agency is in accord with everything they have planned.  They have kept everything in the plan 21' from the road, in anticipation of the widening of Tom Watson Parkway (Highway 45).  They will widen the driveway but will cut down the trees at the end of it to increase the visibility of those turning onto the highway. 

 

The mayor asked the Board of Aldermen for a motion.  An unidentified gentleman from the audience rose to call for a point of order on the rezoning; it was announced the Board was not considering the rezoning at this meeting, only the annexation.

 

ALDERMAN FRIEDMAN MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING; ALDERMAN DUSENBERY SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

 

ALDERMAN POOLE MOVED TO APPROVE THE ANNEXATION; ALDERMAN DUSENBERY SECONDED; ALL AYE BY ROLL CALL; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

 

An ordinance to annex and rezone will be presented April 15th. 

 

 

 

ELK FARM EXPRESS

 

Monte North was present to request permission to set up a mobile kitchen in front of Watson’s Express on Tom Watson Parkway (in the present Parkville Heights Shopping Center) three times a month.  Mrs. Dusenbery suggested this might be more appropriate to the Farmers Market.  Mr. North said Mr. Watson wants to have them there and invited them to use the space where his employees park.  Mr. Friedman added there is no space available under the Farmers Market shelter; elk meat and elkburgers are  not on the list of approved items which may be sold in the market.  Mr. Sportsman asked about Health Department oversight of mobile kitchens; Mr. North said it is the same as for permanent establishments. 

 

They will probably advertise in conjunction with Watson’s Express. 

 

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE OCCUPATION LICENSE FOR ELK FARM EXPRESS TO SELL FROM THE PARKING LOT AT WATSON’S EXPRESS; ALDERMAN SPORTSMAN SECONDED; ROLL CALL VOTE:

 

            AYE; Aldermen Ferguson, Friedman, McCoy, Poole, Rittman, Sportsman.

            Nay: Aldermen Arnold, Dusenbery.

 

MOTION CARRIED 6-2.

ARKANSAS DISCOUNT SELLER

 

A man in Arkansas e-mailed the city clerk about the possibility of selling out of a truck or tent on a private parking lot.

 

ALDERMAN SPORTSMAN MOVED TO TABLE THE ISSUE PENDING RECEIPT OF INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE SOLD, AND A SPECIFIC SITE; ALDERMAN RITTMAN SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

 

EMBLEMS AND LOGOS ON PARK UNIVERSITY’S DON JULIAN SOCCER FIELD

 

Mr. Gross, head of corporate relations for the university, said that in order to accommodate the six teams (from both high schools and the university) now using the soccer field it is necessary to install artificial turf.  The cost will be slightly over a half-million dollars and could be financed by the sale of advertising rights on the turf. 

 

Discussion ensued.  There is an open-ended agreement between the Park Hill School District and Park University about the use of the field.  Park Hill donated the lights. The advertising might take the form of a logo and/or wording.  Mr. Friedman objected to any wording on behalf of the neighbors and the high school students who will be using the field.  It was pointed out Park Hill South has banners on its baseball field.  Mr. Friedman said there is no advertising on Grigsby Field. 

 

ALDERMAN DUSENBERY MOVED TO ACCEPT SIGNAGE AT THE PARK UNIVERSITY SOCCER FIELD SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS (1) SIGNAGE IS TO BE EMBEDDED IN ARTIFICIAL TURF.  NOT ON LIVE GRASS, AND (2) SIGNAGE IS TO BE PRESENTED TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR DANIELLE DEVLIN FOR STAFF APPROVAL BEFORE IT IS INCORPORATED INTO THE TURF; ALDERMAN SPORTSMAN SECONDED. 

 

Mr. Gross said he was relatively sure they would do something regarding team names in the end zones, as well as something in the center of the field, but they would like to have the option to do advertising in the end zones if it worked out that way. 

 

ROLL CALL VOTE:

 

            AYE: Aldermen Arnold, Dusenbery, Ferguson, McCoy, Poole, Rittman, Sportsman.

NAY: Alderman Friedman.  (Mr. Friedman said he would have voted aye if no wording were  to be used.) 

 

MOTION CARRIED 7-1.

            RANCHO GRANDE CANTINA  

 

A request from  Joe Jennings, owner of Rancho Grande Cantina, was presented by Alderman Arnold and City Clerk Barbara Lance.  Mr. Jennings would like to serve on the sidewalk outside the restaurant during the PGA Tour, May 12-18.  He has permission from the landlord at Crestridge Shopping Center.  He would hire off-duty police officers from 4 p.m. to closing every night.

Discussion ensued.

 

Chief Hudson was asked for his opinion. He said Rancho Grande is a well-run establishment and not a trouble site.   Mr. Friedman expressed concern for the other merchants, and for their patrons who might be forced to walk in the parking lot if the sidewalks are full.  Chief Hudson said whether this action infringes on other merchants is strictly a merchant issue, not one for the City.  If people park there illegally and walk across the street to watch the PGA, the police will respond and tow cars off if the shopping center personnel sign complaints.  

 

Jim Allen was asked for his opinion on the parking, because The National is directly across the street from Rancho Grande.  Mr. Allen said this particular merchant is very good for the community and has been a good neighbor.  Immediately across the street from Rancho Grande is a pretty steep slope.  They have an 8' chain-link fence that runs the length of the property all the way to the west down to the #3 tee box.  To the east there is a driveway at the turf maintenance center.  They have a gate there and will have security during the tournament.  The area is heavily treed. 

The National would be supportive of this request.

 

ALDERMAN RITTMAN MOVED TO GRANT THIS REQUEST CONTINGENT UPON THE OWNER’S  WORKING WITH CHIEF HUDSON ON DETAILS; ALDERMAN ARNOLD SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED. 

 

            NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BONDS FOR NEWLY ANNEXED AREA

 

Mr. Hawver said Albert Riederer, who was scheduled to address the Board on this issue, has asked to be placed on the April 1st agenda instead.

 

 

 

MAYOR’S REPORT

 

Mayor Kutz said he received word that Parkville has been officially designated a Tree City 2002.  It is expected this will be a part of the Arbor Day ceremony on April 5th.  The city clerk reminded the Board and audience that Arbor Day will begin with a massive planting of redbud trees (donated by the Rotary Club) along the bluffs of Park University, on Highway 9 as it enters the city.  Those who wish to help plant should call City Hall at 741-7676 to volunteer.  The planting is to celebrate the Rotary International’s 100th birthday in 2005. 

 

CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT

 

WATER/SEWER BILL PAYMENT:  Mr. Hawver said Apple Market is in the process of closing down and has ceased taking water bill payments.  City Hall has been inundated with people coming in to pay their water bills (and Parkville sewer bills which are included on some of these bills).  Once a week Missouri American Water Company notifies delinquent customers their water will be shut off that day unless they come in and pay their bills.  The day of this meeting was one of those days, and we had three people out sick.  Mr. Hawver thanked Alderman Arnold, who came in and taught herself how to use the payment machine so we could receive some late-afternoon payments.  (Court Administrator Louella Smith took them earlier in the day.)  Mr. Hawver called Missouri American to tell them this is a problem and they said they are actively seeking another Parkville site.  He reported that Missouri American recently sold to a Germany corporation.  He will provide more information in the next meeting’s packets. 

 

PROPOSED ADDITIONAL TORNADO SIREN: Mr. Hawver showed a diagram of the range of sound for the existing tornado sirens and one that is proposed to be placed on the South Platte Fire Protection District station on Tom Watson Parkway.  The new siren would reach all but the northernmost residents of The National.  To reach those residents, a siren would have to be placed immediately adjacent to The National Clubhouse, which was deemed undesirable.  This siren would also reach most residents to the west, except those in rural areas along I-435.  The contingency fund has just under $35,000.

 

ALDERMAN RITTMAN MOVED TO APPROVE AN EXPENDITURE NOT TO EXCEED $21,000 FOR THIS ADDITIONAL SIREN; ALDERMAN ARNOLD SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

Mr. Rittman thanked Mr. Hawver for his efforts.

 

PARKS COMMITTEE

 

Mr. Hawver attended a special meeting of this committee; Mr. Poole asked him to make the Parks Committee report for this meeting.  He said the Parks Committee is very busy, working on grants, etc. Mr. Hawver and Linda Arnold met with two stage professionals to look at the stage.  Both professionals agreed the stage is perfect for the type of events we want to do.  They did suggest adding a wall to the front of the stage to visually separate it from the audience, also a small concrete pad on each side of the stage for speaker placement, and a concrete sidewalk connecting to the trail.  The Parks Department would like to start adding these final touches beginning March 28th.  The pads and sidewalk could be poured that week.  Bids are being solicited for the stonework in front of the stage.  The Parkville Commons developer has agreed to donate stone from the existing wall on that site.   The concrete work can be done in-house for just the cost of the concrete.  

 

The lights were deemed appropriate for that stage.  Something will be done about the ceiling so there is not an echo distracting musicians. 

 

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE EXPENDITURE OF NOT MORE THAN $5,000 TO ADD IMPROVEMENTS TO THE STAGE; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

 

We need to think about possible replacement of the shelters in English Landing Park.  They are aging, and get extensive use in the summer. 

 

Mr. Hawver spoke about trail markers.  Proposed location is shown on a map which is attached to these minutes.  They will be color-coded to trail colors. 

 

AWARDS BANQUET

 

Mr. Hawver reminded aldermen and the audience that the banquet is coming up April 4th.  There are 130-140 reservations.  Mrs. Lance said she would like to have more so we could think about using the big new room at Hawthorne House next year.  It holds more than 200 people.  She asked that people who wish to attend call her as soon as possible. 

 

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR’S REPORT

 

PARKVILLE COMMONS:  Ms. Devlin said the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning of Parkville Commons to B-4. 

 

Mr. Allen and Mr. Borchers said besides seeking rezoning they were requesting approval of the building plans for Buildings A (Price Chopper Market) and D (an L-shaped building near Mid-Continent Library). 

 

Mrs. Arnold asked if they were including a convenience store in Parkville Commons.  Mr. Borchers said one is included in the plan, but they don’t have one at this point.  Mrs. Arnold said she was concerned about the lighting at some convenience stores.  She doesn’t want it to be a problem for people across the street.  Lighting was discussed at length, and at this point was not deemed to be a problem.

Mrs. Arnold asked about an outdoor pool shown in the plan.  Mr. Allen said that was a mistake.  (There will be an indoor pool in the community center.)  Mr. Friedman said there is no loading dock for the hardware store; he asked if that is P&G.  Mr. Allen said they have had several productive discussions with P&G, but no agreement up to this time.  Mr. Friedman asked about the loading dock.  Mr. Borchers said in conversation with a local hardware store they have been informed this loading space is adequate. 

 

Mr. Friedman asked about parking shown behind the library.  Mr. Borchers said the library is considering possible future expansion; there is an entrance on the north side now.   Parking places for the grocery store were discussed.  There is no guideline in B-4 for parking spaces, but Associated Wholesale Grocers recommends 4 spaces per thousand square feet.  Parkville Commons will follow the Institute of Traffic Engineers’ recommendation of 4.5 spaces per thousand square feet.  Customarily, grocery stores have 3.46 to 3.97 per thousand square feet.  There will be cross access (store to store). 

 

They have a signed agreement with the new Price Chopper owners, who are very happy with the plan.   There will be ingress and egress from multiple points.  An acceptable amount of money will be spent on landscaping and paver brick.  They want to encourage pedestrian traffic.  They are also

planning benches and green space. 

 

They will be using period-style street lighting.  Down-lighting will be used, and particular care will be taken with parking lot lighting to assure safety. 

 

Mayor Kutz asked for other questions or comments from the audience.  There were none.

 

BILLS AND ORDINANCES (resumed)

 

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED THAT BILL 2082, APPROVING THE REZONING OF PARKVILLE COMMONS TO B-4, BE APPROVED FOR FIRST READING; ALDERMAN ARNOLD SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

 

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED THAT BILL 2082 BE APPROVED ON FIRST READING AND PASSED TO SECOND READING BY TITLE ONLY; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

 

ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED THAT BILL 2082 BE APPROVED ON SECOND READING TO BECOME ORDINANCE 2064; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE BY ROLL CALL; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

Ms. Devlin said the building plan for Parkville Commons had also been unanimously approved by the Planning Commission. 

 

ALDERMAN RITTMAN MOVED THAT THE BUILDING PLAN FOR BUILDINGS “A” AND “D” OF PARKVILLE COMMONS BE APPROVED AS SUBMITTED SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS AS SHOWN ON THE STAFF ANALYSIS; ALDERMAN ARNOLD SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0. 

 

Mrs. Dusenbery asked when they could start discussion on the traffic flow.  Mayor Kutz said River North can start infrastructure now. 

 

 

 

 

 

BUILDING PLAN FOR BUILDING 6 IN ENGLISH LANDING CENTER

 

Ms. Devlin said the Planning Commission voted 6-1 to recommend approval of the building plan for Building 6, Lot 6. 

 

Mr. Rittman asked if the applicant agreed to the conditions.  Mr. Hutsler said the entire front facade is brick.  He said he agreed to the major conditions set forth by the Planning Commission; he said he felt the major condition was the 15% permeable surface.  He distributed the overall site plan, which shows additional green space. 

 

Discussion ensued.  Some facts and conclusions in those discussions were:

 

PERMEABILITY:  The Planning Commission voted to recommend the imposition of at least 15% permeable surface for the entire development, not per lot, although the developer must report the permeable surface for each lot.  Mr. Hutsler agreed to this requirement.  He said by lot the permeability figures are:

 

                        Lot 1, which includes the entire original development:                       15.35%.

                        Lot 2:                                                                                                   5.06%

                        Lot 3:                                                                                                   6.7%

                        Lot 4:                                                                                                   4.1%

                        Lot 5:                                                                                                   4.1%

                        Lot 6:                                                                                                   7.2%

 

Mr. Ferguson pointed out the majority of the permeable space is located in the original development.  Mr. Hutsler said they are taking out some of the flagstones in the courtyard and replacing them with grass.  That will make it possible for them to meet the 15% figure.  Mr. Ferguson said then the figures presented to the Planning Commission were for the permeability after the flagstones were taken out, not the actual figures which existed at the time.  Mr. Hutsler said that was correct.   The decision as to whether to enforce compliance by the lot or the entire development is up to the Planning Commission and the Board of Aldermen. 

 

OVERALL CONCEPT PLAN: Ms. Devlin pointed out the issue at this meeting was the building plan for Lot 6, Building 6, only.  The overall plan will have to go before the Planning Commission, which will vote on it before it comes to the Board of Aldermen.

 

PARKING: Mrs. Arnold questioned what she felt were minimal parking spaces.  That issue will come before the Board later.   

 

Mr. Rittman asked if there were any other conditions.   Ms. Devlin said this approval is just for the building plan.  Other conditions will have to be met before a building permit can be issued.

 

ALDERMAN RITTMAN MOVED TO APPROVE THIS PROJECT SUBJECT TO ALL THE CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE PLANNING REPORT, AND HE ASKED THAT THEY BE LISTED IN THE MINUTES; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0. 

 

In compliance with Mr. Rittman’s request, the memorandum from Community Development Director Danielle Devlin to the mayor and Board of Aldermen dated March 21, 2003, and incorporating the Staff Analysis on this building plan approval request, is attached to these minutes.   The conditions set forth by the Planning Commission are hereby incorporated into the above resolution. 

 

REZONE TWO RISS LAKE PARCELS ON TOM WATSON PARKWAY

 

Riss Lake developers acquired two parcels of land after their subdivision was zoned CUP R-2.  They asked to have those two parcels (properties formerly belonging to the Pollock and Mundhenke families) rezoned to CUP R-2.  Ms. Devlin reported that the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of this request. 

 

Mr. Amos said these homes will be priced at $400,000 to $1,000,000.  They will have tile roofs and stucco exteriors.  They will be constructed in accordance with Riss Lake covenants.  Outside maintenance will be an option for buyers.

 

BILLS AND ORDINANCES (resumed)

Bill 2083 was posted 3/21/03.

 

POLICE CHIEF’S REPORT

 

The chief reported that crime is up, mostly larcenies, specifically gas drive-offs.  There was a burglary in Riss Lake – the residents were on vacation.  Because the home had been checked by Officer Carl Zornes at 11 a.m. and it was all right, and checked again by Officer Eric Sligar at 3:30, when it was found to have been burglarized, police know what time frame to investigate.  Discussion ensued on flag thefts.  

 

The chief asked them to pass the agreement on the agenda that night – it is for the alert system. 

Sergeant Kevin Davis is doing well at his training class in Kentucky.

 

 

 

COMMITTEE REPORTS

 

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE/MAIN STREET:   Mrs. Arnold said the Chamber After-Hours at HealthSouth was very nice and very well-attended.  A performance company is going to start doing interactive productions at Papa Frank’s.  Ms. Devlin said that is illegal, because no building permit was issued for that part of the building, but Mrs. Lance said the performances are in the original restaurant part of the building, not on the stage constructed in the newer part.  

 

Mrs. Arnold said she did not get an e-mail from MSPA.  Mr. Hutsler said they have 25 bricks for the pocket park.  They need a volunteer to lay them; he will help.  Mr. Friedman said he would volunteer. 

 

CHANNEL 2 No report.

 

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS: Mrs. Dusenbery showed the large illuminated wreath on display in the Board Room.  It is secondhand, but was used only one season, and she asked the Board to authorize purchase of 20 of them @ $250 each (price new would be $500 each). 

 

ALDERMEN DUSENBERY MOVED TO PURCHASE 20 WREATHS AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED WHAT IS IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS PURPOSE; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

 

COMMUNITY CENTER: No report.

 

FARMERS MARKET: Mr. Friedman said there will be one more meeting of the Farmers Market Association before it opens on April 12th. 

 

FINANCIAL: None this meeting.

 

NATURE SANCTUARY: Mr. McCoy said Director Jim Reed wants to clean up the hiking trail between 6th Street to the Sanctuary entrance at 12th Street and develop a walking trail.  Mr. Reed led a hike on early wildflowers.  Seventeen people participated.  They had a workday and seven people showed up with five chain saws.  There will be a wiener roast in the Nature Sanctuary next Saturday, March 29th, at 6 p.m. for city staff, Nature Sanctuary committee members, and others.                            

Mr. Friedman said we have talked with MoDOT in the past about putting the trail under the bridge on River Park Drive (Highway 9 as it rounds the corner just past the postoffice), and asked aldermen to keep in mind we’d like to do that.  Mr. Hawver said we went through that issue in 1990.  They said they would be able to do it, but the City of Parkville would be charged with the increased cost, and it would be substantial. 

 

PARKS: Mr. Poole referred to a report from Parks Superintendent Ed Gault; it was in the packets.  Discussion ensued about tape which had been placed around one of the shelters; it was decided that was when the tables under that shelter were being painted. 

 

PLANNING COMMISSION: Mr. Ferguson said the Board of Zoning Adjustments (BZA) would meet the next day at 5:30 p.m. to consider a request for sign approval from the Parkville Athletic Complex (in a B-4 zone) and a request from Yoshiko for a variance from Old Town District zoning sign regulations.   The Planning Commission meets April 8th - an agenda will be distributed at the next Board meeting.
