PARHING REOUIREMENTS.
(15) ACCESSORY AREA. When parking lots are sparsely used, are highly seasonal
in their use, or where other special conditions exist, an application shall be
submitted to the Planning Commission requesting a portion of the parking area
be left unimproved until such time as the Board of Aldermen deem it must be
improved to adequately serve current parking demands. The completed
application shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission and within ninety (90)
days thereafter the Planning Commission shall send the application onto the Board
of Aldermen for approval or denial. The failure of the Board of Aldermen to act
within ninety (90) days shall be deemed an approval of the application unless on
or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day, the Zoning Enforcement Person sends a
notification to the applicant that the application has not yet been considered. A
continuance of consideration of the application within such 90 day period shall be
deemed an "Act. " The land so delineated for future parking shall be surveyed by
a licensed engineer or surveyor of the State of Missouri, with his/her seal firmly

affixed upon the plans and specifications of the land which will and can be used
for parking in the future. A permit for delayed construction in the parking lot
area shall be issued only after the Planning Commission and the Board of
Aldermen are satisfied that the initial occupancy of the premises will be
adequately served by the lesser number of spaces and only after approval of a
final development plan indicating clearly the location, pattern and circulation to
and from the initial and the delayed parking spaces.

for approval. All other applications for permits in excess of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) within the R-2, C-0, C-1, M-1 or M-2 districts
