Motion carries. TranSystems Mike Myers Project Manager with TranSystems discussed the bids that were Discussion of the received for Horizons Parkway Phase I. The lowest bid that came in was Horizons Pky. Bids $4 million up to 4.8 million dollars. The lower costs aze different from the City Engineer's cost of $5.9 million due to lower cost in asphalt and concrete. TranSystems has the new APWA specification, type 5 &6 (20% stronger than what was placed at Gateway Intersection) for the Horizons Pazkway project. J.M. Fahey had the low bid of $4,024,000 (without the maintenance fee) and Radmacher's bid was $3.95million without the $144,000.00 maintenance factor. This is using 10" of concrete or 12" of asphalt. J.M. Fahey's bid was concrete and Radmacher's was asphalt. Alderman Super asked for Mike's recommendation. Radmacher is already on site and has access to I-635. He suggested taking a look at past experience and knows MoDot is pleased with Radmacher. Mike said once Horizons Pky is in place it is known there is an 8% truck factor and someone has to be diligent and make sure the equipment going across the roadway isn't too heavy or particulaz equipment allowed across the road. "Quiet Zone" Discussion TranSystems gave a proposal for the "Quiet Zone" demonstration for $7,900.00 and Argosy is extremely interested in the demonstration, also. There will be some coordination from Public Works to help bring a loader in to set the forms. The board unanimously agreed to the proposal. David said the horn train situation is becoming more and more of a problem for the Misty Woods residents. Brian Everist with Intercon is also interested in the demonstration. Pubic Hearing Opened Mayor Rose opened the Public Hearing that was continued from the March at 7:35 p.m 6a' meeting to consider a request for a rezoning from "C-1: General Commercial" and "R-1: Single Family Residential" to "PD: Planned Development", a prelimi- naryplat and the preliminary development plan for the Village at Gatewoods. The azchitect, Brian Henderson explained the Site Background and the Master Plan. Twenty-Eight per cent of the land is open space. There are Two Hundred Thirty-Three "on" street parking spaces off of Gateway and fifty-eight "off' parking street spaces at the Neighborhood Center. There are several townhouse designs. Planning & Zoning did not recommend on street parking on Gateway. All units aze owner occupied- no rentals. Planning & Zoning visited Northgate Village in North Kansas City which is a Traditional Neighborhood Development. Brent gave a summary of the staff analysis report. The applicant is T.E. Woods Construction. The mixed use development is located on 22 acres at the northern boundary of Riverside on the west side of NW Gateway drive. The project consists of primarily owner occupied residential units, including a combination of Townhomes, Paired Houses (duplexes) Condominiums and Cottages. The plan also incorporates a small portion of commercial space, including Live/Work Units and a commercial pad site for the projected Grand Magnolia Banquet and Reception Facility. The design of the project was based on the philosophy of Traditional Neighborhood Development. This offers a distinctive entrance at the City's northern boundary and provides a development pattern which currently does not exist in the City. The plan includes, Live/Work Units-4 Units, Condominiums-24 Units, Town- houses-75 Units, Paired Houses-42 Units, Bungalow Cottages-10 Units. The proposed housing units emphasize the street facing facade and creating a pedestrian friendly neighborhood. Buildings aze pushed towards the street and azchitectural elements like porches and stoops aze included on the front facade. Gazages have been placed on the back of the buildings. The plan incorporates 2 pazks, a trail system and pedestrian paths that connect to existing residential neighborhoods. Staff is working with the applicant to ensure public access will be granted for all parks and trails. The development will connect to the existing water and wastewater system. Preliminary studies indicate that storm water will be detained on Tract C. The large amount of preserved open space incorporated throughout the development will allow for increased storm water quality and better overall storm water management. The development provides for a connected street network which will connect to the existing street networks by two points on Gateway Avenue and one on 51st Stteet. The development will also connect to the subdivision to the west by Timberridge Street, which is currently under construction. The proposal also includes private alleyways and on-street parking. Building are pushed towazds the street and garages aze pushed to the back of the property making alleys an essential element of the design. In general, the design and intent of the plan coincide with the goals and recommendations of the City's Comprehensive Master Plan. The applicant's design team met with City staff, in particulaz the Public Safety Department to discuss the proposed development. The meeting concluded with a list of recommendations for the proposed development that was given to the design team and the applicant has agreed to adhere to these recommendations. There will be a median as an architectural, aesthetic improvement to the plan. Visitor Comments Evelyn Poe, 3002 NW Florence said it would be nice to have this azea landscaped, but this is her only way onto Gateway and her concern is there are 3 cuts planned on the median, one going to the church and two into the complex and there is the right and left turn lane taken out of middle space. She is concerned about the looks of the median after all the room is taken for turn lanes and wonders if there is enough space for the landscaping. She mentioned the right hand turn lane going into the complex and is against parking on the street. Alderman Bruns asked about the types of businesses that would be placed here. Brent said maybe a small coffee shop or as an example, a locksmith shop, insurance salesman, accountants (offices out of the house). There are four town homes planned for the complex. The plan proposes some uses not seen in the Kansas City mazket. Alderman Beard asked about a traffic study on Gateway. Brent said the only study done was the original one that TranSystems performed. Alderman Super asked about the track record (success) in Kansas City of a one bedroom unit. It was sated there would be a test market on that design for the sales team before building. There is a wide variety of small one bedroom units. On Cottage Court, there aze small patio of yazd space available. Lot lines are platted as one common lot or individual parcel. The owner maintains a small yazd space. Tom Woods said there was a study done that only twenty-five per cent of people now aze of complete families, more singles, young and old, middle aged and empty nesters. They like the idea of no maintenance. Irene Paulhe, 4700 NW Petronella is opposed to pazking along NW Gateway. She thinks the median would cause blocked traffic. She's not sold on the one bedroom idea.
