Mr. Davis stated they wanted to expand their present location and gave Board members handouts about their business and an economic impact survey. Tumble Cheer opened 1 %z yrs. ago with 24 children and has grown to 302. They currently have 12 part time employees and four full time employees. Mr. Davis stated his intent was to construct a facility to accommodate 900 students and become the largest cheerleading gym in Missouri. Stonewall Properties, a company owned by Mr. Davis would own the site and building. City Consultant, Mike Duffy, stated that Tumble Cheer has outgrown their present facility and wants to relocate to Lot 1 in the Gatewoods Commercial Minor Subdivision at 51 and Gateway. The Davis' are requesting approval of the site plan as well as the Change of Use Permit. The property is zoned C -1, and a gymnasium is a permitted use. They have parking for 79 parking spaces. There will be a turnaround and drop off area on south end. There could be future stacking problems on NW 51 Pole lighting will be installed around the parking lot and wall flat lights on the building. The landscaping plan has provided 17 shade trees and 7 ornamental trees, which exceeds the requirements. A 5' x 9' ground mounted sign is proposed. This exceeds code and we recommend should be scaled back. Also, two wall signs. Building materials will be textured metal panels and EFIS. The main entrance is on the south side, which would provide a large blank wall on Gateway and it was recommended that they put some type of entrance on the east side to match the true entrance on the south side. Shawn Lee inquired if the EFIS panel was preformed material. Don Alexander, Allison & Alexander, 3403 NW Vivion Road, showed the Board samples of the building material and colors. The building would be medium gray with a silver -gray roof and red trim. Jim Burch inquired why we needed a change of use permit. Mike Duffy stated that under Section 435.040.B a site development plan, and Chapter 450 of the City Code, shall be submitted with all applications for building, grading and change of use permits. This is raw ground changing to a commercial use. Jim Burch stated there seemed to be too much information to consider if they were just being asked to recommend approval for a change of use permit on a new parcel of property. Mike Duffy stated the Davis' would lose time and effort if at some future point they were denied on a building permit. Jim Burch stated he did not want to grant them false approval. Mike Shelton stated there were several fire and safety precautions that were not addressed; i.e., length of fire access road, placement of fire hydrants; occupancy questions; emergency exits and whether fire apparatus has access in tum around. Mike Duffy suggested that Board could add these items as recommendations. Chairman Snyder asked for a motion for Change of Use There being no motion made, Mayor Burch stated that the request would die on lack of motion, however the applicant could still move onto Board of Aldermen. Many members of the Board stated they were not opposed to the Change of Use request, however did not want to approve the site plan Don Alexander stated that they designed the building to sit on the property this way because of soil engineering report and bad fill on the site. Mel Davis stated they had already increased the cost of the building in an effort to dress it up from $650,000 to $800,000. Don Alexander stated they needed a decision by the end of the month to be able to go forward. Julie Davis stated they have designed some dimension to the building and their primary concern was addressing safety concerns for their students at their current location.
