Staff Report, Brent Miles Brent Miles, Community Development Coordinator for the City, gave
Site Plan & Building Permit his staff analysis report regarding 777 Argosy Parkway for the Argosy
Argosy Casino Casino Garage Project.
Argosy Casino is seeking to obtain a building permit for the "Site
Utilities & Foundation Package" for the garage project and for an
amendment to the original Argosy Site Plan submitted to the City on
January 2, 2002.
Brent Miles explained that due to the scope and intensity of the project,
City staff would not be performing the technical code review, rather
said code review would be conducted by George Butler Associates.
Staff has received a plan review fee schedule from George Butler
Associates for the project. The City will require a total permit fee for
this development of $30,486.50 from Argosy Casino; $27,715 for
George Butler Associates and an additional 10% fee, $2,771.50 for the
City for processing the request. Additionally, Argosy is responsible for
paying the cost and expense of the Levee District Engineer, Affinis
Corp., for work associated with Levee Critical Zone review and the
cost of an independent inspection firm to monitor all on -site
construction activities. Due to placement in the Levee Critical Zone,
certain specifications are also to be reviewed by the Corp of Engineers.
Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend
approval of this request contingent upon the recommendations made by
the independent code review consultant and by the Corp of Engineers
in regards to Levee Critical Zone development.
Brent Miles pointed out the timeline for the Argosy Parking Structure
and stressed that Argosy was pushing fast.
Mayor Betty Burch made a motion to approve the request with said
contingencies, seconded by Evelyn Poe. All voted aye and the motion

Staff Report, Brent Miles Brent Miles, Community Development Coordinator for the City, gave
Building Permit, Clarification his staff analysis report regarding The Northland School of Performing
On Storm Water Management, Arts, 3000 NW 50 Street, who have filed an application for a building
School of Performing Arts permit. Prior site plan recommendation and site plan approval had
been obtained by Dennis Rogers, the applicant , on May 13, 2004, and
June 1, 2004, respectively from the Planning & Zoning Commission
and the Board of Aldermen. Brent Miles indicated the project meets all
Code requirements of the City and staff recommends approval of the
project with the following conditions:
➢ Engineered plans for the retaining walls. These plans must also
incorporate fencing/handrails for public safety. Staff insists that
these be aesthetically coordinated with the rest of the project.
➢ The applicant obtain a sign permit before erection of any sign on
the development.
➢ Stormwater management recommendations be reviewed by staff
before implementation.
➢ Sheet 6/11: Base plates "2/6" 12" embedded in 12" slab on plan,
needs to be reviewed.
➢ Sheet 4/11 figure 2/4: plan indicates 4" drain tile, needs to be 6"
➢ Sheet 4/11 section A & B: Need engineering truss design
At the time of original approval, staff believed that stormwater could be
handled through the underground stormsewer system on the property.
However, due to the intensity of the project, this was found to be
unfeasible. Staff, along with the applicant and his representatives, met
with the adjacent property owner, T. E. Woods Construction, and
agreed that the best solution would be the use of detention facilities in
the "Common Area" already in place at the Gatewoods Subdivision.
Staff raised several issues that need to be addressed with this
stormwater and erosion and sediment control plan. Ray Uhl questioned
the issue of stagnation. Brent Miles explained that aerating pumps
would be used to ensure an environmentally friendly project. Mayor
Betty Burch asked if the intention was that the detention facilities be
wet at all times or is it was expected to be both wet and dry. The
applicant indicated that the goal is to have water year round, however,
due to the certain requirements, it was uncertain at this time. Evelyn
Poe asked for clarification as to the placement of the detention ponds
and it was indicated that they will be placed in the ditch presently on
the site, with grading modification.
Applicant Dennis Rogers addressed the commission and presented a
sample of the brick to be used in the project in conjunction with a light
brown stucco exterior.
Mayor Betty Burch made a motion to approve the request with said
conditions seconded by Evelyn Poe. All voted aye and the motion
passed. The Commision thanked Dennis Rogers for his attendance and
presentation.

Building Permit, 4720 NW had submitted a building permit application in response to a request by
Homestead Road Codes Enforcement Officer Jim Hare that he stop work on the erected
carport and obtain the necessary permits for erecting such a structure.
As applicant failed to appear again, Brent Miles, indicated to the
Commission that staff would immediately inform Mr. Eckard to
disassemble the structure.
Mayor Betty Burch indicated to the Commission that she had driven
past the site on the way to the meeting and noted three trailers and
various items parked on what appeared to be the grounds of the Church.
She indicated that rather than a carport, it appeared applicant was
erecting a storage shed, which Brent Miles pointed out in his analysis is
not a permitted principal use in the "R -2" zoning district.
Ray Uhl made a motion to deny the building permit and proceed with
disassemble of the structure. Said motion was seconded by Al
Bowman. All voted aye and the motion passed.
