REGULAR MEETING
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RIVERSIDE, MISSOURI
Thursday, October 8, 2009
7:00 p.m.
The Planning and Zoning Commission for the City of Riverside, Missouri, met in regular session in the
Board of Aldermen Chambers at City Hall, 2950 NW Vivion Road, Riverside, Missouri.
Mayor Kathy Rose called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Answering roll call were Al Bowman,
Stephen King, Evelyn Poe, Harold Snoderley, Ray Uhl„ Art Horner and Mayor Kathy Rose. Members
absent: Aaron Locke, Cheryl Melton, Steven Kaspar and Barbara Snyder. Also present: Jackie Carlson,
SKW and Sarah Wagner, Community Development
Final Development Plan- Jackie Carlson with SKW gave a staff report to the Commission for the
Service Master- 2800 West Final Development Plan for Service Master at 2800 West Platte Road.
Platte She explained that at the August 13, 2009 P &Z Commission meeting,
the applicant proposed stucco clad pre - finished panels for the south and
east elevations of the addition and pre - finished metal panels for the
north and west elevations. The Commission requested the applicant
consider a building material that better complies with the UDO and
Comprehensive Master Plan. The applicant has since revised the plans
and is now proposing 8" thick tan split face block with brick red
accenting for all sides of the addition. The accenting will complement
the existing brick building. The gable of the addition will entail pre -
finished metal panels. Additionally, a new pre - finished metal fascia
will be installed along the length of the existing building to help tie the
existing and new sections of the building together. The UDO states that
pre - finished metal panels may be utilized as an accent material.
The building addition entails a 12' wide x 12' high overhead door.
Generally, the preference is for such utilitarian areas to be located in a
less visible area of the site; however, given this is an established site
with an existing building the options are limited. As the community
moves towards its long term vision, such as improving community
image, it is important to consider the impact new policies and
regulations will have on existing uses and sites. In this particular case,
requiring the utilitarian area to be located in a different location would
significantly impact the applicant's ability to build the addition. The
proposed improvements embody the balance of considering current
circumstances while still thinking to the future, as the proposal provides
an opportunity for an existing business to expand, but does so in a
manner that moves the City one step closer to the long term goals.
In general, staff finds the application in conformance with the standards
set forth in the LIDO and the goals established in the Comprehensive
Master Plan and therefore recommends approval of the application
Jeff Schroeder with Scharhag Architects addressed the Commission.
He explained that he worked with the business owner to come up with
different options that would fit with the City's Master Plan and still be
cost effective. Everything has been done to try and make the addition
blend with the existing building and area.
Mayor Kathy Rose asked if there were going to be any changes made t
the existing building.
Schroder replied that the only thing being added to the existing building
would be the mansard to help blend the two roof lines.
Mayor Rose asked where the large trash enclosure would go.
Schroder said that he wasn't sure, but thought that it would remain
behind the building.
Mayor Rose commented that with all the large vans parked on the
corner of the property it makes it very difficult to see around the corner
when cars come off the new bridge.
Schroder said that he would speak to the property owner about moving
the larger vehicle in front of the building and have employee vehicles
park in the space where the addition will be.
Mayor Rose asked if Service Master had other locations besides
Riverside.
Schroder said that he believed they did, but was not sure where.
Mayor Rose asked if the reason for the addition was that Service Master
was closing a location somewhere else.
Schroder said that when Service Master moved to Riverside it was
because it closed its North Kansas City location. He said that there is
another location that is closing and some of the employees and vehicles
from it will be coming to the Riverside location, but it won't be too
many.
Mayor Rose asked how many employees Service Master has.
Schroder said he wasn't sure exactly, but on at least two occasions he
has seen 12 -15 employees there.
Mayor Rose said that the City is in the process of updating the Master
Plan that was created in 2006. To date, 66% of the 2006 plan is
complete. The area where Service Master is located is slated to be
redeveloped and wanted to make sure that the owner knew about it.
Schroder said that the owner is aware of the changes that are planned.
He said that the owner wanted to build this addition over a year ago, but
due to the construction of the new bridge.
Commissioner Al Bowman asked about the ublicensed truck parked
behind the building and other stuff stored outside the building.
Schroder said that most of the stuff will be moved inside the new
addition.
Commissioner Stephen King asked if there were any regulations for the
dumpster.
Carlson replied that it is a legal nonconforming use, but the UDO does
require that new dumpster be screened. As for the unlicensed vehicle
and other items left outside, this will be forwarded on to the Codes
Enforcement Officer for further investigation.
Commissioner King made a motion to recommend approval of the Final
Development Plan for Service Master to the Board of Aldermen.
Commissioner Harold Snoderley seconded.
The votes were:
Yes: Stephen King, Ray Uhl, Harold Snoderley, Kathy Rose, Evelyn
Poe and Al Bowmn.
No: Art Homer.
General Discussion Mayor Rose spoke to the Commission about the town hall meeting that
will be held on October 19'' to begin brainstorming for the updates to
the Master Plan.
Adjournment Commissioner King made a motion to adjourn.
