ROBIN KAMPHEFNER FOR SOLICITATION PERMIT

Ms. Kamphefner said she is in training to be an Edward Jones investment counselor in the Parkville community. She wants to go door to door to get acquainted with residents and distribute pamphlets about her services.

ALDERMAN SPORTSMAN ARRIVED AT 7:20 P.M.

Discussion ensued on door-to-door solicitation. Aldermen suggested ways they thought she could get acquainted which might be more effective than door-to-door calling, i.e., the next Chamber of Commerce business-after-hours event, at which Mrs. Arnold and Mr. Friedman said they would be glad to introduce her around. Mr. McCoy suggested volunteer activities are a good way to get acquainted.

ALDERMAN FRIEDMAN MOVED TO DEFER CONSIDERATION OF ANY SOLICITATION PERMITS UNTIL THE CITY CLERK COMPLETES AN UPDATE OF THE SOLICITATION-PEDDLERS-CANVASSERS-HANDBILL CODE; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

VIVIAN HATFIELD REGARDING TREES

Mrs. Hatfield expressed concern that trees were being taken down for development. She reminded the Board of Aldermen we carry Tree City status. Mr. Friedman told her there was an extensive landscaping plan required and in place for Parkville Commons, which she specified as an area where trees are being removed. She asked what the Tree Board is doing and whether it still meets. She was told it does meet. She said she’d like to know when they meet, what they do and what they don’t do. She said they are doing nothing about the loss of our trees in Parkville. She showed pictures to the mayor and aldermen of areas where trees have been taken out. She requested that developers work with the Tree Board and preserve our trees. Mrs. Hatfield referred to a report on KCPT (local public television station) on what the loss of trees did to Atlanta, Georgia. Mayor Kutz said the Tree Board, in conjunction with Parkville Rotary and others, just planted over 2,000 redbud trees along the bluffs.

BERNIE FAUSTLIN RE LICENSE FOR MASSAGE THERAPY

Mr. Faustlin wants to open his own business at Forbes Chiropractic in Crestridge Center on Highway 45. He is licensed by the State of Missouri as a massage therapist.

ALDERMAN RITTMAN MOVED TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION OF BERNIE FAUSTLIN TO DO BUSINESS AS A MASSAGE THERAPIST IN CRESTRIDGE CENTER; ALDERMAN ARNOLD SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

MAYOR’S REPORT

COMMUNITY CENTER: Mayor Kutz said he attended the groundbreaking of the new Community Center that morning; Platte County commissioners were there, as well as some aldermen. He reported there is an artist’s rendering of the new center in the lobby at City Hall. The center is scheduled for completion in 2004.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT

Mr. Hawver noted there were many residents there regarding the application for rezoning on Highway 45, and asked to defer his report so the zoning matter could be discussed first.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Ms. Devlin explained this matter was the subject of a public hearing on Tuesday, August 12^th, before the Planning Commission. Mr. Phillips requested the change in zoning from R-1 to B-4. A motion to approve the rezoning was not seconded, and so the Planning Commission forwarded it to the Board of Aldermen without a vote. They did agree on certain stipulations if rezoning were to be approved, and she enumerated them.

Mr. Phillips asked for rezoning to move a Century 21 real estate office from a location in Kansas City north to 8904 Highway 45 in Parkville. He said there were a lot of heated words among the members of the Planning Commission, a lot of fireworks. He thought he got stuck on that. In his opinion, he said, the property is mis-zoned. He said he didn’t plan to make major changes to the structure, just put a little facade on the front, add a couple of parking spaces, and beautify it; he would not remove any trees. He said he would change the color of the house, which is now pink, and added that the house has not been very well kept up, and there is debris in the front yard. He thinks a real estate business would have no environmental impact.

Mayor Kutz asked him if there were a possibility of leaving the zone as is, but allowing a conditional use permit so he could have his real estate office there, as the Planning Commission suggested. Mr. Phillips said he would be willing to pursue it, but said it was one neighbor (to the property in question) who suggested it, not a Planning Commission member, and the neighbor is not a member of the Planning Commission or the Board of Aldermen. He said that was interesting but the amount of money he will have to invest would not make it feasible. The investment to fix it up would be about double what the last house in the subdivision sold for, he said. Mayor Kutz said there are issues involved with that particular area, and suggested they work together.

Mr. Phillips said he knows that Graden School, which is next door, is for sale, and Dennis Fisher of the Park Hill School District said he could have it for $10,000,000.

Mr. Phillips said he is trying to make the highest and best use of the property. Mr. Friedman said he would be in favor of CUP but not rezoning until it is known how everything will be resolved in that area. Mayor Kutz suggested a CUP in perpetuity. Mr. Phillips said he had to look out for his four kids and his wife. If he goes with a CUP his business would have the same impact. He asked what if something happened to him and he needed to put another tenant in there, maybe an accountant or someone with a similar business? The mayor said he didn’t think he needed to worry about it; we could word the language in the CUP to allow similar benign uses. He thought the city administrator, the community development director and the city clerk could work that out. Mr. Phillips said Ms. Devlin is a true asset to Parkville.

Mr. Phillips said it sounded like there was no way he could get the property rezoned. Mayor Kutz said he didn’t want to deny him the opportunity to have it voted upon. Mr. Phillips asked if he could come back for a CUP later if the rezoning failed. He said it is commercial property.

Mr. Rittman said he didn’t think they all could see that. The mayor was suggesting a way to get him there without trying to change the zoning next to a school. To go to B-4 zoning has some significant results. Mr. Phillips said he didn’t think their detractors know what B-4 is. The mayor said from his profession that property should be commercial, but he thought we had an opportunity to resolve this to everyone’s satisfaction – to give Mr. Phillips a CUP in perpetuity; that would protect his interest as long as he owned it. Mr. Phillips said he had an obligation to another person to attempt to get it rezoned.

Mr. Rittman asked about the time constraints for filing again. Ms. Devlin said he cannot apply again for rezoning for a year, but he could apply for a CUP.

Mr. Sportsman asked what differences there are between this and the Gresham property. (Property belonging to Dorothy Gresham on Highway 9 was rezoned from R-4 to B-4 and now houses an accounting office.) Mr. Ferguson said the difference was that property could have gone to multi-family use, which would have meant more traffic than the accounting office. He added that the back portion of the property had been dedicated to the use of the Parkville Nature Sanctuary.

Mr. Sportsman said whatever is done to this property will be an improvement. Mr. Ferguson said it is still an intrusion into the integrity of a residential area.

Gary Allen, an attorney and Parkville Heights resident who lives within 185' of the property in question, spoke. He said he filed a lawsuit on behalf of himself and other residents challenging the validity of the City’s procedures regarding rezoning issues. His appearance there that night, he said, should not be construed as an admission that the City’s procedure in this case is correct.

Mr. Rittman said that was irrelevant to the question at hand. Mr. Allen said he was there representing fourteen people. Mayor Kutz directed his attention to the project being discussed, and asked those who were present to oppose this rezoning to stand. Approximately 18 people stood.

ALDERMAN SPORTSMAN MOVED TO APPROVE THE REZONING FROM R-1 TO B-4 AT 8904 HIGHWAY 45; ALDERMAN McOY SECONDED;

AYE - ALDERMAN SPORTSMAN;

NAY - ALDERMAN ARNOLD, DUSENBERY, FERGUSON, FRIEDMAN, McCOY, POOLE, RITTMAN.

MOTION FAILED 7-1.

*FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT REZONING AT 8904 HIGHWAY 45. This section of the minutes, which covers a discussion at the end of the meeting, has been taken out of chronological order and moved to this area.

Mr. Rittman said he and others wanted to allow Mr. Phillips’ real estate office under CUP (Conditional Use Permit). He said it was prudent judgment for the Board not to have acted upon rezoning for a number of reasons:

1. Not all information was available to us.

2. These folks didn’t have the chance to talk to a lot of people.

3. There is an issue about adjacent property on both sides. It was perhaps better for the City not to act in the short term. There may be another option.

He said he hoped Mr. Phillips came back to the Board with another (CUP) application.

Mayor Kutz said it was very clear. The reason he asked all those from Parkville Heights who were there to oppose rezoning to stand up was to see how many were opposed. He doesn’t like to be intimidated, he said, by an attorney who wants to talk about another issue entirely. He said Board members said exactly what they needed to say. He addressed the Parkville residents who came and expressed his appreciation for their attendance.

Mrs. Fletcher asked to have the outcome explained. Mayor Kutz said the rezoning was denied and can’t be brought up again for at least a year. If Mr. Phillips wants to come back with an application for a conditional use permit, it will be considered.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT

CHANNEL 2. Mr. Hawver said a student worker from Park University is working with Channel 2. His name is Andrew Young, and he is trying to find a fellow student who could work with him on Parkville telecasts, etc.

PERSONNEL SALARY ASSESSMENTS: Mr. Hawver said Elaine McCoy, the volunteer Human Resources consultant who is working on this, and the wife of Alderman Dave McCoy, is a terrific person to work with. They have made significant progress. It is time to schedule two work sessions with aldermen. He asked aldermen to call him with dates which would be feasible for them.

TIF ADMINISTRATION (PARKVILLE COMMONS): Mr. Hawver said he met that day with representatives to work on the administration of the TIF in this area. He was advised that Price Chopper would open in mid-February or the first of March. They are working on the possibility of a trail from Parkville Commons to downtown Parkville. He was not sure whether that plan included the use of the $125,000 originally pledged toward the trail.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON HOG RALLY: Platte County Tourism Director Carol Rudi sent us a notice that there would be 2,700-3,000 motorcyclists visiting southern Platte County September 4-7. It is Harley-Davidson’s 100^th anniversary. The Platte County Convention and Visitors Bureau would like a banner welcoming these people to go up immediately after the Taste of Parkville banner comes down the morning of September 5^th. The banner has been provided to us.

ALDERMAN POOLE MOVED TO APPROVE INSTALLATION OF THE BANNER; ALDERMAN FRIEDMAN SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

BONDS: Mr. Hawver said that Charlie Zitnik, our representative from Kirkpatrick-Pettis, has proposed that we consider refinancing our G.O. (General Obligation) bonds which financed the construction of City Hall. We are currently paying interest between 5.4% and 5.7%. Refinancing would allow a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.65%. The City would save more than $27,000 in interest by refinancing, and slightly reduce our tax levy next year. Cost of the refinancing is expected to be approximately $9,000; net savings would thus be approximately $18,000. Costs would be paid through our bond account so there would not be an impact on our operating budget. We will bring an ordinance for your consideration at the September 16^th meeting.

Mr. McCoy asked if there would be any other funds or funding that might be even better. Mr. Hawver said he believed this was the best option and time is of the essence. Mr. Zitnik will come to the next meeting.

WALKING BRIDGE FOR PARK: Mr. Hawver said the walking bridge is probably going to be delivered before the end of the week. It will be put in the area that’s open against the White Alloe Creek. John Haggard, owner of Haggard Hauling and a Parkville resident, will do this for us at his cost – about $2,500-$3,000.

Discussion ensued on where the bridge should be delivered and its permanent location. Mr. Friedman asked if we need a permit to move the bridge. Mr. Hawver said Public Works Director Jeff Rupp has contacted the Corps of Engineers, but he is not sure where he is on that discussion. Mr. Friedman said he would like to see us make every effort to put the bridge on the other side of the creek.

SOLICITATION CODE: Mr. Hawver said City Clerk Barbara Lance has been working on this ordinance, doing background research and getting a model ordinance from the Missouri Municipal League. There are Constitutional issues. We cannot outlaw solicitation. We can restrict the hours. Mrs. Lance said we could establish a “no-call” list similar to the Statewide one which prohibits solicitors from calling persons on the phone; ours could be a list of Parkville addresses whose owners request that no callers, or only specific ones, visit their homes. That, and the addition of “No Solicitor” or similar signs on homes by owners, would cut down on the numbers of unwanted visitors to Parkville residences. Mrs. Lance said she would have an ordinance for their consideration at the October 7^th meeting.

POLICE CHIEF’S REPORT

SOLICITATION: Chief Hudson said Officer Kris Cornell arrested a solicitor who had been working the Riss Lake and National subdivisions. He was soliciting without a license and using the “I just live down the street” line made public in a TV expose recently. He claimed that he wasn’t, but they had five witnesses who said he was. His manager showed up and was irate, and said he had never paid a fine that big ($1,000) before. The chief said that led to the conclusion that he has been fined many times before.

REPEATER ON ANTENNA TOWER: The chief said they had before them that night a contract with Platte County to put a repeater on the tower used by the Sheriff’s Department at a charge of $1 a year. The repeater would be on the 2004 budget. The addition of a repeater would provide virtually total portable coverage in the city. This would improve effectiveness during our festivals and parades as well as during the annual golf tournament. Sergeant John Moyer is looking into getting several narrow band frequencies for the department’s use. This would dovetail with the County’s switch to narrow band in 2005.

VEHICLE REPAIR: The chief said there was an item for $2,800 on the bill-paying ordinance. This vehicle is used by our detective and has fairly low mileage. It is in pretty fair shape except for the engine, which is being replaced with a second-hand engine at Glen’s.

POLICE ATTENTION TO SOCCER CAMP TRAFFIC: Chief Hudson said he and Mr. Sportsman had been playing phone tag, and he wanted to inform him it would not be a problem to provide a police presence at Park Hill South soccer games held at Park University. Mr. Sportsman said the next ones are Friday, September 19^th, and Monday night, October 20^th. They start with the Junior Varsity game at 5 p.m. and then the Varsity plays at 7:00. Games are finished about 8:30 or 9:00 p.m.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE/MAIN STREET: Mrs. Arnold said Thursday, September 4^th, Taste of Parkville would be held at the Farmers Market. The event, a fund-raiser for Christmas on the River, would be from 5:30 to 8:30, and a ticket could be purchased for $25 at the door entitling the bearer to 19 punches. Each punch could be used at the booth of any of the 17 vendors participating in the event for food or drink. While there, she said, people should stop at the Chamber booth to see about signing up with Price Chopper and Hen House to have 1% of their purchase amounts donated to the Friends of the Parkville Animal Shelter. She said there would also be sign-up sheets for the Missouri River Relief Cleanup on September 13^th, or people could sign up at City Hall or on the internet. She asked Ms. Pauling to come forward. Ms. Pauling said one of the FPAS volunteers made this arrangement with these supermarket chains. Good participation could result in donations of $20,000 a year to the shelter friends. Mrs. Arnold noted these volunteers were there all day in the heat on Parkville Days to solicit donations and adopt dogs out of the shelter.

COMMUNITY CENTER: Covered earlier.

FARMERS MARKET: Mr. Friedman said it was pretty full last weekend, and they had a guest chef who was very popular with the customers.

FINANCIAL REPORT: ALDERMAN FERGUSON MOVED TO ACCEPT THE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR JULY AS PUBLISHED; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

NATURE SANCTUARY: Mr. McCoy said they had a workday on August 23^rd; it was a group allied with the Boy Scouts. There were 20 volunteers. They re-chipped the trail on the left side toward the waterfall. He gave thanks to City crews for moving the chips around. Family Ghost Story Night will be held October 24^th at 6 p.m. Food will be served from 6-7, with stories from 7-9. The cost will be $5 for adults, and $3 for children 12 and under.

There will be a Planning Commissioners Workshop Friday, September 26^th. The next meeting date after that is October 14^th at 5:30 p.m.

OTHER BUSINESS

SOUTHERN PLATTE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT: Mr. McCoy said he spoke with SPFPD Chief Robert Carrizzo about full-time firefighters at the Parkville station downtown. He said the chief was not encouraging about staffing this station at this time, but they will put the issue of an increase in taxes back on the ballot in April. He and Mrs. Dusenbery have offered to help get the message out.

AMENDMENT TO EVENTS APPLICATION; The accident during Parkville Days in August was reported in a memo to the mayor and aldermen. A proposed amendment to the events application was enclosed with the memo. It included questions about first aid response plans set up for events, about security, and about liability insurance covering the city.

ALDERMAN RITTMAN MOVED TO ADD THE AMENDMENT TO THE EVENTS APPLICATION; ALDERMAN ARNOLD SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

Mr. Hawver added that we should disallow moonwalks (the accident happened in a moonwalk). We don’t allow picnickers to bring them, and we shouldn’t allow them for these events.

PARKVILLE DAYS: General discussion ensued about Parkville Days. Chief Hudson said maybe we should consider alternatives for the parade. He has to call out 11 officers to handle each parade. He suggested that, because the parade consisted mostly of the marching bands from Park Hill and Park Hill South High Schools and the audience came mostly to see the bands, we think about doing something in the park or elsewhere below the tracks which would involve both bands. The mayor agreed we should take a close look at that. Mr. Hawver said the staff seemed to recall that the Board of Aldermen mandated only one parade a year, but we can’t find it in the minutes.

Mr. Friedman said he was disappointed at the vendors at this year’s Parkville Days; they were selling cable TV, siding, satellite dishes, etc. It was like a trade show. He didn’t think that’s the kind of event we want to have.

WALK FROM POSTOFFICE TO TRIANGLE ON EAST STREET: Mrs. Arnold suggested the location of this walkway over East Street be changed, because its present location is dangerous. Mr. Hawver will have a look at it.

CLEANUP ALONG HIGHWAY 45: Mrs. Arnold asked about this issue, which she presented at the last meeting. Mr. Hawver said he talked to MoDOT, and they are willing to have it cleaned up regularly, but they like to deal with established groups.

FIREWORKS: Mrs. Chatfield and Mrs. Davis said they don’t want ground fireworks taken out of the Code. Mrs. Chatfield expressed concern about the volunteer groups who make their money from selling fireworks. She said fireworks in the Parkville Heights subdivision were no greater an issue this year than any other. Mrs. Davis said her grandchildren come to her house to enjoy the fireworks display, and the neighbors enjoy watching it. The mayor asked Mrs. Lance to get a clearer definition of aerials and other fireworks and told Mrs. Chatfield and Mrs. Davis the Board would take a closer look at the matter.

*FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT REZONING ON HIGHWAY 45. The section on this discussion has been moved out of chronological order and now follow the earlier discussion in these minutes.

ALDERMAN McCOY MOVED TO ADJOURN; ALDERMAN POOLE SECONDED; ALL AYE; MOTION CARRIED.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
