Public Hearing Opened Mayor Rose opened the Public Hearing to consider a Preliminary Development at
7:08 p.m Plan for Briazcliff Development Company and to consider a Preliminary Plat
for Briarcliff Development Company.
The applicant, Briarcliff Development Co., has applied for a preliminary
development plan, a final development plan, a Preliminary Plat, and a Land
Disturbance Permit for a professional office complex to be located south of
West Platte Road, east of the L-385 Levee Project, west of the eastern City limit,
and north of Missouri Highway 9. The proposed site includes 75,000 squaze of
high-end professional office, primarily consisting of medical office. The
complex will also house the Northland campus of the Kansas City Art Institute.
The proposal is for 75,000 square feet of an office plaza, 6,500 square feet of a
day care and 79,000 squaze feet for a medical lab. A campus will be provided
for the Kansas City Nortliland Art Institute.
Due to the size and intensity of this project, there aze several different
procedures that are necessary for approval Here is an overview
of the procedures necessary for the project:
Preliminary Development Plans are governed by Section 400.250 of the Unified
Development Ordinance (iJDO). The procedure for a Preliminary Development
Plan is public hearings before the Planning Commission and Board of Aldermen
after at least 15 days notice has been given in a newspaper of general circulation
and mailings to property owners within 185' feet of the proposed project, as well
as posting the property with signage to inform the public of the UDO.
Land Disturbance Pemuts are governed by Section 400.260 and the procedure
is review by the Planning Commission only.
The design and project details aze listed below:
The fagade for the proposed building incorporates architecture in accordance
with the standards set forth by the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The
fapade of the proposed stmcture is a Rosewood Brick with Prairie Stone
limestone accents and a Weathered Green Slate roof. The materials used will be
very similar to those ah~eady in place on Briarcliff Office IH, an existing
structure in KCMG.
Mins. 7/3/07
The proposed building must incorporate metal halide wall pack lighting in
accordance with the provisions set forth in the Unified Development Ordinance
(UDO). The applicant proposes three types of lighting within the office plaza;
these three types of lighting aze included in the materials submittal but basically
include a wall pack lighting system for the building, a shoebox light for pazking
lots, and an ornamental light for entrances into the plaza. Alighting study has
been submitted and is in accordance with the standazds set forth by the UDO.
The UDO requires that the number of pazking spaces be based upon the size and
intensity of the use of the development; the UDO would require this
development to have 150 parking spaces and the applicant is providing 165
spaces. These spaces must be nine feet (9') by eighteen feet (18'). The
applicant is also required to provide at least 6 ADA accessible spots, the
applicant has provided 8 ADA accessible spots.
Due to the size of the project, the UDO would classify this development as a
Business Park, therefore the UDO allows greater flexibility with the design and
regulations pertaining to signage. The applicant is proposing a mixture of types
of signs for the project. At the entrance, the applicant is proposing a monument
sign which will allow for the name of the individual tenants within the office
complex. Each building is also designed to provide a small wall sign on the
mansazd to allow for individual tenant signage as well, the proposed signage is
below the allowed maximum per individual business. The applicant is also
proposing signage incorporated into the retaining wall on the south side of the
project illustrating the name Briazcliff Professional Plaza.
The applicant has submitted a landscape plan that exceeds the requirements of
the Unified Development Ordinance (iJDO). The plan includes 35 shade trees,
50 ornamental trees, 280 deciduous shrubs, 319 evergreen shrnbs, and 195
mental grasses. Please note though that this landscaping plan may change per
restrictions set forth by the Corps of Engineers regazding landscaping within the
Levee Critical Area. Also note that some of the landscaping proposed is on City
right-of--way. The proposed development is within the Levee Critical Area and
is currently under review by the Levee District and the Corps of Engineers.
There is one issue with the landscaping because this in the Levee Critical Area.
The applicant must deal with the Corps of Engineer regarding landscaping. The
City will work with the developer/applicant on this issue. The developer wants
to landscape the City's right-of--ways, too.
The proposed development will gain access from a private drive that will be
built on the Levee lining up directly across from Valley Drive, and will gain a
second means of access from a new entrance outside of Riverside in KCMG.
The proposed development is within the 100 yeaz floodplain. The applicant is
filling the property to the 500 year floodplain, thus fulfilling the City's
floodplain requirements. Once the floors aze finished on each of the proposed
buildings, the City will require an elevation certificate be submitted by a
licensed surveyor in the State of Missouri.
The Briarcliff Professional Plaza is intended to be an individually owned office
condo project, meaning individual tenants will own their own respective spaces
as opposed to a building owner /lease ownership method. Therefore, the
platting procedures for this project are unique to Riverside. The preliminary plat
will be done as one lot, and when individual spaces are sold, a lot split will
occur. When all spaces aze sold, a Final Plat will be executed for legality
purposes. This is acceptable under the provisions of the UDO, staff
intentionally wrote a section in the UDO to address this situation due to this
being common practice now throughout the KC metro azea.
The recommendation on the staff's standpoint for a traffic study exists and
proposed and based on level of service meaning how much time it takes at a
specific intersection to make a left hand turn. The traffic study that has been
completed, but there is one azea that the level of service for the left hand turn
going eastbound from Valley Lane to NW Platte Road is at present time a
Level B/C during the a.m. and (p.m) peak hours. After full Development, level
of service at this intersection is a D. This falls within the generally accepted
level of service for an urban street system. Staff would like to propose a traffic
signal at NW Valley and NW Platte Road proposing the cost to be $250,000.
This signal can be delayed as much as 3 yeazs from now due to the warrant
being based upon full building of both commercial and residential. Stall' has
also been analyzing a method in which one of the financing mechanisms
associated with the project can be used to cover the cost of this infrastmcture
necessity. Staff is confident that a method can be used either by the TIF or
NID and if the "NID" alone was used, this would be a 10% assessment increase
per house to pay for this improvement. If the appraised value on the office
buildings comes in as staff thinks, there will be enough TIF revenue to cover the
cost of the signal.
Alderman Super asked why MODOT will not make an exception to a fain lane on
the east. Ryan Dougdale, Olsson & Associates said MoDot was very adamant
about this and there would be no exceptions.
Brent said MoDot and Kansas City, Mo reached a cost share agreement for an
off ramp eastbound Highway 9 coming into Briazcliff Pazkway. This will be a 3
way off ramp and there will be an on ramp. With this, Tullison will be realigned;
shifting to the south and at Briazcliff Parkway and Tullison they are
recommending a `Pound-a-bout" 4-way stop or a round-about at Mulberry and
Briazcliff Parkway.
Brent recommends giving approval now with the development plan as it exists.
Alderman Fuller asked about 2 lanes being staggered at the 4-way stop to
make a left turn. Brent said the real issue is peak traffic time and there is plenty
of time "build out" before the signal is warranted. The City will know a lot more
in the next 1-1 '/2 yeazs and to study the traffic situation more.
Alderman Salyer asked about the levels mentioned in the memo. Brent referred
him to the level of service going from a B to a D and the delay is in seconds.
Alderman Fuller asked if traflYC counts were done on Woodland. Brent said
"No" but counts were done on Woodland when the Gateway project was
done. Alderman Fuller would like to see the study for rating of traffic coming
down Woodland.
Alderman Super asked about the transition on Valley Lane. Brent said the
staff will be looking at this when residential occurs.

and should have them ready for review in the next 2 weeks.

Final Plat Discussion is being cut (divided) so it can be sold. It meets all the UDO requirements.
Public Works Director Jeff gave the boazd an update on the mosquito sprayer. The City has it now and
has been spraying in the a.m. The cost of the sprayer was $6,665.
