Proposed Infrastructure The subdivision proposed includes twenty-eight (28) lots served by the construction of a new loop City Street. The subdivision will gain access off of NW 50°i Street at two points, the southern entrance aligning with the new NW Timberline Drive (new street in Gatewoods 3rd addition).

The UDO requires the minimum lot size to be ten thousand (10,000) square feet, which the developer has complied with. Lot Width: The proposed development includes lot widths that range from two hundred twelve feet (212') feet to eighty (80') feet, with an average lot width of ninety-four (94') feet. The UDO requires that the minimum lot width of at least eighty (80') feet measured at the building setback line, which the developer has complied with. Setbacks: The proposed development indicates setbacks of thirty (30') feet for front rear yards and ten (10') feet for side yards. These are the setbacks required by the UDO. Landscape Buffer The UDO requires landscape buffers to be provided and maintained when projects are adjacent to one another or when adjacent to certain roadway types The proposed development is zoned "R-1" and abuts an existing "R-1" development to the south. Using Table 1 and Table 2 (see highlighted sections), the developer is required to maintain a fifteen (15') foot buffer adjacent to this development.

The UDO would define the signs proposed as Drecrional Signs. This section states the following: Drrectional signage shall be allowed at each entrance of a building site and at key intersections. Directional signage may indicate items like entrances, exits, addresses or locations, location of parking or amenities, and similar facilities. Ground mounted signs shall not exceed 3 feet in height and maybe single or double faced. Staff, with their review, asked if all signs were "new" or were several of the signs replacing existing signage. The applicant responded with a diagram to illustrate. Several of the signs proposed are located within the Levee Critical Area. This plan has been submitted to the Levee District for review and comments. At this time, staff has not received comments regarding this project from the Levee District.

Alderman Hurt suggested getting the squaze footage and calling some other companies for a bid and if it is close then to go ahead with Linaweaver's bid. David asked that the City Administrator position performance appraisal be handled differently than everyone else's and be a conjunctive effort with the boazd as well as somebody from the outside. David spoke with Diane Doran, Bartleby Content to present a proposal for this request. Diane Doran will coordinate this with any Aldermen who wish to attend and the system that is being developed and the work that has been done internally on performance evaluations. Shafer, Kline & Warren's Mike Duffy, point person for Shafer, Kline & Warren for the on-call city engineering, report spoke to the board about ongoing projects with the City. Gary Strack, Design Engineer spoke about the West Platte Bridge saying Cliffivew is still under construction and Gary showing the plan for a part of Cliffview being moved and tie in with the new bridge line and part of the Vivion Road project. Gary showed where the new West Platte Bridge would be placed, across the oxbow, across the levee and across the creek and tie in with Vivion Road and a bike trail. This is Phase I. Gary showed an estimated time line. $4.lmillion is budgeted and $4.2 million in construction costs estimated (a conservative estimate). Alderman Super asked if Shafer, Kline & Warren is involved in the right-of way. Mike Duffy said they still have to acquire Allison & Alexander and the Tax Center's right-of ways for Phase II and Greenhaven Sod for Phase I. Jeny Johnson discussed the asphalt failing with the heavy trucks through the intersection of Vivion and Gateway and Riverway Intersection onto Gateway. An acceptable surface was used (specifications) for the construction of these above mentioned areas. Jerry said there is a more acceptable surface available (high performance asphalt and or concrete overlay) for these areas and if the problem isn't addressed, the rutting will lead to alligator cracking, water penetration and get to the subgrade eventually. The estimated construction cost to fix the rutting is $175,000.00. Alderman Super asked how long it would be before rapid deterioration occurs and Jerry said within this year because of the summer heat. Mayor Rose asked for a time frame to fix the problem and Jerry said to think of this as being done one lane, each quadrant a week and would take about three to four weeks. Each traffic lane is eleven feet wide. This construction cost is only for the Gateway intersection. Alderman Beard asked how much out of the $175,000.00 is for signalization and Jerry said $5,000.00 for traffic loops. The area discussed is for the Gateway intersection only. Alderman Hurt asked if there was any guarantee we won't have to do this again. Jeny said concrete inlay will give the life of the concrete of twenty years and asphalt is seven years. Alderman Hurt said we to make sure we double check ourselves so this doesn't happen again. Mike Duffy said they would make sure there is an inspector, materials installed and all specifications are correct when work starts on this project. Mike mentioned the sewer line backup on Riverside Street in front of R.H. Fastener. The owner of R.H. Fastener hired a plumber to go through the clean out. Due to rain being predicted, Shafer, Kline & Warren had a concern of backup and had the street cut and dug down 8' and found an 8" clay pipe line that no one knew existed and work was halted. Ace Pipe line televised and found the line tied into a manhole on the east side of the street and went back to the 72" line. There were four problems that were fixed; a field inlet box was placed differently and a pipe was joined to a 4' section of the line that was cut and some cracks repaired. It was determined the best fix for this is to try to make this a public line and set a manhole just off the curb in front and insituform the line and ask Kansas City to take over this line for maintenance. Mike mentioned the Merrimac Drainage improvements that involves two property owners, the Leaders and Snyder's. The Leaders would like two low areas filled in as there are drainage problems. The proposed fuc is to install a field inlet on the up stream side of the driveway and fill that ground in a take a 24" pipe from that and run it down through the existing corrugated metal pipe under Leader's driveway and tie into another filed inletand extend a pc of pipe from end of Merrimac drainage improvements. Once this in place, put a new structure underneath the Snyder's driveway. When the cost for this is available, it will be forwarded to the Board. Mike spoke about the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system problem at Public Safety as they haven't been able to keep the bays warm enough in the winter. Mechanical Electrical Engineer with Shafer, Kline & Warren had a recommendation to test and balance, re-commission all the controls to make sure they're all operating the way they're supposed to and provide training for employees to minor fixes on these controls. The estimate for testing and balancing is $8,560.00.
