The meeting was called to order by Chairman Barbara Crook. Chairman Crook requested that Sue Madison act as a member of the Subdivision Committee at this time. MINUTES The first item on the agenda was the minutes of the February 10, 1984 Subdivision Committee Meeting. With no additions or corrections, the minutes were approved as mailed. PRELIMINARY PLAT MEADOWRIDGE SUBDIVISION, PHASE III DR. J. B. HAYS, OWNER/DEVELOPER The second item on the agenda was the approval of the Preliminary Plat for Meadowridge Subdivision, Phase III, located at Sunflower Circle and Frazier Terrace. Dr. J. B. Hays --owner and developer. Property zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential District. Mr. Harry Gray was present to represent this matter. Chairman Crook requested to know if Mr. Gray or the developer had any problems with any of the Plat Review Comments. Crook advised that Powell was reserving his comments regarding drainage u ntil the plans and profiles are submitted for construction. Gray advised they would submit their' street and drainage plans t o Mr. Powell for his approval and would be happy to do this. Crook questioned the possibility of any easements which Powell may request and wished to know if the developer would comply w ith any of Powell's requests in this regard. Gray advised that he would either comply or return to the Subdivision Committee. Crook requested to know if the street lights as shown on the plat would require a Waiver. Jones advised that the Subdivision SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1984 PAGE 2 Committee could accept the street light spacing as adequate. Jones advised that Ozark Electric will install the remainder of the street lights at the time of development. Crook advised that this development would be subject to the green space ordinance and would need to be shown on the plat. Crook questioned the 25' utility easement running between the lot lines of Lots 1 & 2, Meadowridge, Phase II. Jones stated that was correct, that there was a 25' utility easement at that location. Crook told Mr. Gray that this would need to be shown on the plat. Stockdell stated she was concerned about the drainage and requested to know the direction of drainage. Gray advised that the drainage was basically to the west with a creek crossing the northwest corner, angling slightly away from the west line in a southerly direction. Gray advised that this Meadowridge drainage would have to be taken to the west. Crook stated that her major question was future access. Crook stated it is so steep off of Old Missouri Road and Frazier Terrace, t hat access onto either looks as if it could be quite dangerous. Gray advised there is one good point of access on Old Missouri Road at about the middle of the property. Crook stated she was wondering about the possibility of a dedicated ✓ ight-of-way straight on through to the north edge. This would cross the Ozark Electric easement, but reserve the possibility o f development of the land to the north. Stockdell requested that Joyce Street be shown on the Vicinity Map as well. Crook requested to know if any waivers were being requested in this subdivision. Gray advised that the only question at all would be with the street lights. Crook stated she would be willing to accept the proposed location of the street light as shown on the plat. Crook restated that the green space require- ment will need to be shown on the plat and that the covenants will need to be provided if there are any. MOTION Stockdell moved approval of the Preliminary Plat subject to Plat Review Comments, extension of the 50' right-of-way to the n orth of the cul-de-sac on Sunflower Circle, contingent on the covenants being filed and the street lights being installed as shown. Motion seconded by Sue Madison. Motion passed 3-0. 21 22 � • • • SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1984 PAGE 3 LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT CHESTNUT AVENUE APARTMENTS JAMES E. LINDSEY AND BILL ELSASS--OWNER/DEVELOPER The third item on the agenda was the approval of Large Scale Development for James E. Lindsey and Bill Elsass--owners and developers, located on Chestnut Ave. Property zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential District. Crook requested to know if Mr. Carnahan had been informed of the green space requirement on this development, and that this w ould need to be shown on the plat. Crook advised that the City Attorney has stated that this plat will be subject to the green space ordinance. Carnahan requested to know what the charge would be. Jones advised this would be $85.00/unit payable in three installments, one third upon issuance of the permit and then the other two installments at one year intervals. Crook requested to know if Carnahan had any problems with the Plat Review Comments. Carnahan advised that the revised plat is submitted pursuant to the utility companies' request. Crook advised that the City Board will have to vacate Elm Street. Crook advised that on the north edge, where this property borders the University Farms, right-of-way has been collected in 80' increments to the west. Crook advised that the Planning Commission w ill probably want 80' of right-of-way along this property. Carnahan advised there are two or three things which have been requested that the Lindsey Developers would like to take exception t o. Carnahan advised that Lindsey understands and feels like their fair share of development and improvements have been fair as exhibited throughout the City wherever they have developed. Carnahan advised that the Lindsey Developers do plan to widen and develop Chestnut, put in sidewalks, street lights, and a 24' diameter storm sewer in this area, with the Lindsey developers feeling like this is a reasonable request in light of the devel- opment. Carnahan advised that they would dedicate an additional 5' right-of-way to comply with the City's Master Street Plan. O n Ernie Jacks Expressway, Carnahan stated that the Lindsey Developers feel like 1/2 of the right-of-way is a reasonable request and would be happy to provide this. Carnahan stated there are three things which they feel are above and beyond the call of duty. One would be to give 80' of right-of-way, all off of this property. Carnahan stated the right-of-way shown on the Master Street Plan is 80', but it is the feeling o f the Lindsey Developers that giving 1/2 off this property is fair, but to give the entire 80' would not be fair at all. Next, Carnahan advised that the Lindsey Developers are being • • • SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1984 PAGE 4 ✓ equested to extend Chestnut Avenue 213' as well as building a cul-de-sac. Carnahan advised the Lindsey Developers did not feel as though this was a fair request and would like to ask the Planning Commission to waive this request. Crook advised that attempts have been made to acquire right-of-way off of the University Farm Property without success. Crook stated that her recommendation would continue to be for the 80' right-of- way. Crook advised that the Subdivision Committee can ask for off-site improvements if need for these improvements is caused by the impact of the development. J ones clarified the agreement as discussed by Clayton Powell in the Plat Review Meeting of February 16, 1984, i.e., From Chestnut Apartments' north perimeter to the north driveway radius of Leverett Gardens II, the west side of Chestnut Street was constructed to current City Standards and it was a compromise between the City and the Leverett Gardens II developer and also discussed with Lindsey and Associates informally, that Leverett Gardens II developers would put in the street, curb and gutter o n the west side, but the developer of this property which is going to be Chestnut Apartments II would put in the storm drainage, w iden the street to 31' and put in the curb and gutter. Jones also reiterated that a bond had been issued, with Crook clarifying t hat the Leverett Gardens II development would share in the cost of the improvements. Jones advised that a bond has been posted in the amount of $8,177.74 Leverett Gardens II's portion of the street work. Jones clarified that an additional amount had also been posted as sidewalk improvements. Crook stated that another concern in her mind was.' the impact o n Poplar Street due to this development, with the requirement of off-site improvements on a rational nexus basis for Poplar Street from the bridge (future development) to Leverett. This w ould be a share proportionate to this developers impact on Poplar. Crook requested that Jones clarify the basis of rational nexus before the Planning Commission meeting of Monday, 27, 1984. Jones did state, however, that rational nexus was based on acreage. Crook advised that a cul-de-sac at the end of Chestnut Street would be desireable to her in any event. Carnahan stated that anything that is a normal, City Standard Requirement upon their property, they would feel obligated to meet. 23 • • • SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1984 PAGE 5 MOTION Stockdell moved to recommend approval of the Large Scale Development o f Chestnut Apartments subject to Plat Review Comments; the determination of installation of a cul-de-sac or the improvements of Chestnut Street; determination of the 80' right-of-way being ✓ equested; the application of rational nexus; request being submitted to the City Board for Vacating of Elm Street. Motion seconded by Barbara Crook. Motion passed 3-0. LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT MULEY'S RESTAURANT COLT SQUARE DRIVE The fourth item on the agenda was the Large Scale Development for Muley's Restaurant, located on Colt Square Drive. Property zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial District. Mike Hill and Delvin Nation were present to represent this matter. Property o wner, Mrs. J. D. McFarland was also present with questions regarding this development. Crook requested to know if there were any problems with the Plat Review Comments. Mr. Nation advised there were no problems and the plat had been revised to reflect those items requested by the Plat Review Committee. Crook requested clarification of the view obscuring screen along the south property line, with Muley's proposing screening along t he entire width of the property, with this screening being placed on the two lots which are being developed now and extending t his at the time the remainder of the property is developed. Crook requested to know if Muley's would be willing to provide t he screening for the entire length now. Mr. Hill advised that they would go ahead and place the screening across the entire length of the property at this time. Crook clarified that the pavement has been pulled back from the south property line with Mr. Nation advising that this was correct. Crook advised that the parking spaces were adequate; that the sidewalk is shown and will be constructed. Crook stated that she wished to address the drainage, with Mr. Nation advising that Muley's had done everything that Clayton Powell had requested and have revised the drawings accordingly. Crook stated she still had a problem with this and did not necessarily agree with the drainage being diverted to the two undeveloped lots which could then be absorbed by the land. Crook stated t hat when these two lots are developed, and the parking was paved, there would not be adequate remaining land to absorb 2y • • • SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1984 PAGE 6 the water. Jones advised that since the entire development was being submitted at this time, the Muley's Restaurant will n ot need to come back before the Subdivision Committee unless they were to place a new driveway; that new developments could be handled administratively by the Planning Administrator. Crook advised that the drainage was approved to drain to the w est end of Colt Square and into the inlets on Green Acres. Crook stated that Muley's original plan to grade this property in a manner that it would drain into the street would have been, to her, the manner that the street was designed to handle. This bothered Mr. Powell because of the water running into the street. Crook discussed the matter with Powell and a compromise was agreed upon, i.e., carry out the plans for the present building, but when remainder of the property is developed, pick up the d rainage at one or the other corner or both corners to satisfy the City Street Superintendent. Crook advised this may need t o be a concrete -lined swale down the side to get this water to the street. Nation advised this would be an acceptable com- promise. P roperty owner, Mrs. J. D. McFarland of 58 E. Elm, questioned the fact that a club would be a part of the Muley's Restaurant. Crook requested to know if this was a club with Mr. Hill stating that they do have a Private Club License for that location and will be serving mixed drinks. Jones advised that this is an acceptable use in this zoning area. Crook requested to know what Mrs. McFarland's recourse would be. Hill clarified that that there would be no live entertainment. Jones advised that d ue to the fact that Muley's could not be a zoning issue, that Mrs. McFarland would probably need to contact the State for further information. Mrs. McFarland stated that she was extremely interested in getting a street along the back of their property. MOTION Stockdell moved approval of this Large Scale Development, subject t o Plat Review Comments; a view obscuring fence being placed across the south line; installation of a drainage system at the time the lots to the east and west are developed which will carry the water to Colt, as well as meet the satisfaction of t he City Street Superintendent. Motion seconded by Barbara Crook. Motion passed 3-0. 25 • • • • SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1984 PAGE 7 LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT DILLARD'S EXPANSION 4201 N. SHILOH The fifth item on the agenda was the approval of the Large Scale Development for Dillard's Department Store, located at 4201 North Shiloh. Property zoned C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial District. Mr. Walter Meredith was present to represent this matter. Mr. Joe Tarver was present as well. Crook requested to know if the Dillard's Expansion had any problems with the requests presented in the Plat Review Meeting. Mr. Meredith advised there were no problems. Meredith advised that the revised plats reflect the recommendations and requests made at Plat Review. Crook requested knowledge of Clayton Powell's discussion for participation in the interchange'at Zion Road and College Avenue. Crook requested to know if the owners of the mall would be willing to participate to the extent of their fair share of the cost of improvement of the interchange at Zion Road and College Avenue. Mr. Meredith advised he was not prepared to answer this question at the current time; that Dillard's had been in contact with the mall owners in an attempt to discuss this with them. Meredith advised he could not represent the owners of the mall and was representing Dillard's Expansion. Meredith advised that a meeting has been scheduled with the owners of the mall and Dillard's on Monday, February 27, 1984. Crook advised that the parking was acceptable to the Planning Administrator; that the only question raised is the sidewalk along Shiloh Drive; that the sidewalk must be constructed or a Bill of Assurance provided. Meredith advised that this was something else which the owners would have to address. Crook advised that the sidewalk issue would prevent the Subdivision Committee from approving this large scale development; that this must be resolved. Meredith advised he did not think there would be a problem, but could not speak for the owners. Crook stated that Dillard's would have to petition the City Board to vacate the easements. Jones explained that some preliminary work had been attempted with regard to the construction of the interchange. However, with the placement of the current traffic light, the developments halted. 26 SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1984 PAGE 8 Stockdell advised that she was looking forward to meeting the Rouse Company, Owners of the Mall, as they had a reputation of working very well with all of the cities with which they are involved. MOTION Stockdell made a motion to recommend approval of the Large Scale Development for Dillard's Expansion subject to Plat Review Comments and resolution of the sidewalk issue. Motion seconded by Barbara Crook. Motion passed 3-0. 21
