Visitors Comments Nathaniel Hagedorn, Briarcliff Associates gave the board a brief overview and update on activities and proposed property development in the City. Mr. Hagedorn said the project for Briarcliff involves 600 acres mentioning and showing the plan for the new office building that will employ 1,200 employees and all the offices are now 100% leased. Retail is in the building including restaurants. There are 40 tenants and there will be 263 condos ranging in price from $200,000-$800,000 and there are 248 single family homes that now exist. The balance of the plan is commercial with two new office buildings and possibly a new hotel. On the forty-three acres south of 9 Highway, there will be a commercial office building and an off-ramp on 9 Highway and relocating the outer road, and by extending the parkway will relieve some traffic. The plan for south of Indian Hills property, north of West Platte Road, is to have single family dwellings on both parcels within the City. The houses ranging in price from $400,000-$600,000. On the east side of Valley Lane, the plan is to place 13 homes on the first tract and 30-50 homes on the west side. Briarcliff Development would like to acquire the Green property, but it would be expensive to move the trailer homes and the owner is asking a lazge sale price for the property. Mr. Hagedorn said there are a lot of hurdles that have to be overcome and they would like for the City to look over those hurdles regarding the Green property. Regarding the previously discussed grading agreement, Briarcliff Development would like to move forward on the grading plan, mentioning the city's concern for the protection of the city streets. Mr. Hagedorn said Briarcliff would like an agreement for the hauling process and they are prepazed to take Gaze of the city streets that would be affected In addition, they are willing to submit financial statements to the city. Frank Weatherford, Frank Weatherford, TranSystems, Inc. presented alternatives for costs for Phase TranSystems presen- 1 Horizons Parkway connection from the Interchange to Vandepopulier. Frank tation regarding Phase said the goal is to satisfy MoDot's and FHWA's criteria that a new Interchange 1, Horizons Pkwy....... connect to the local roadway system. TranSystems proposes to design and construct Horizons Parkway from the Interchange with I-635 north to the north intersection and then use a temporary tie-in with Vandepopulier. This connection needs to be built by the fall of 2007 when the Interchange is expected to be completed. Mins. 7/18/06 The four (4) options for this idea are: Build it as the preliminary plans have it. This is a 41ane parkway with a 28' median and the cost would be $7 million. 2. Grade for the 4 lane pazkway section, but construct only 2 of the 4 lanes. With a cost of $6 million, this saves $1 million in the initial outlay of funds, but eventually the other $1 million in improvements, must be build and there will be approximately an additional $1 million in cost when the 2"d round of construction occurs. So ultimately, this option delays the outlay of $1 million, but costs the City an extra $1 million to get the same improvement as Option One. 3. Change the roadway section from a pazkway with a median to just a 4 lane roadway without a median. TranSystems would then design and grade 4 lanes, but only finish 21anes. The cost is estimated to be $5.8 million dollars. 4. Using the same ultimate section as Option 3, the non-parkway roadway, grade 2 and complete 2 lanes. This cost is $5.6 million in initial outlay of funds, but would have a lazge cost to rework the utilities when the other 2 lanes are graded in the future. The design team recommends Option One to be selected, to build all at this point for the best use of the City's money. Frank said a 4 lane facility would handle all Residential, Commercial and Industrial traffic. Frank feels like TranSystems is done with the preliminary plans. The sanitary sewer and storm water collector along Schoenbeck has not been changed. The Interchange is slated to be completed in the fall of 2007, so to look backwazds for the building of Horizons Parkway, TranSystems is saying the City doesn't have too much time to bid the right time of year. The project can be bid in December or January and the project should start in the spring so the prices won't get inflated. TranSystems needs time to complete their part and the City is coming up on a deadline to make a decision. Motion for Alderman Bruns moved to approve connecting the I-635 to the local street network connecting the new choosing Option #1, build it as the preliminary plans have it as a 41ane parkway I-635 Interchange to with a 28' median and the cost would be $7 million, seconded by Alderman Darata, the local street net- the vote was: work...........

Absent, Alderman Jones. Motion carries. Mins. 7/18/06 Public Hearing Opened Mayor Rose opened the Public Hearing continued from the June 20s' meeting at 8:28 p.m. to consider a request for a Special Use Permit for the Sale of Used Motor Vehicles at 4403 NW Gateway. Brent Miles comments Certain members of the Planning and Zoning Commission visited some sites of Auto Trend's car lots. Auto Trend did a nice rendering of what the site here in the City could look like. Brent said the Planning and Zoning Commission denied the permit. The Planning Commission was looking at two topics; if the use was appropriate for this location and if a116 points relating to Special Use Permits could be answered, i.e. (1) Is deemed necessary for public convenience (2) That public health, safety, and welfare are protected (3) Facilities will be adequate to facilitate the needs of the special use (4) Shall not discourage the appropriate development of adjacent land (5) Shall not be inconsistent or adversely affect regular permitted uses (6) Shall not adversely affect or reduce property values. Brent said he believed these two topics were the determining factor in the Planning & Zoning's decision to deny the request for a Special Use Permit for the sale of used motor vehicles. Brent said a reasonable site plan had been submitted showing improvements to the property. Visitor Comment Debbie Friedman with Auto Trend spoke to the board regarding the request. Ms. Friedman said the Levee District did a lot of damage to the property, weeds are tall, ground is terrible, construction fencing was left up. In addition, the building is about to fall down. The property can't be seen on the north side coming from the south. Ms. Friedman felt the best use for the business is the lot, a car business, repair shop and detail shop. Ms. Friedman showed a rendering of what the property could and should look like. Auto Trend would be willing to spend about $50,000 to improve the property. They would gut the interior of the building, resurface, take out weeds and junk, square up and clean up. Public Hearing Closed Mayor Rose closed the Public Hearing at 8:36 p.m. Aldermen's Comment Alderman Hurt said the citizen's survey showed the resident's wanted less car lots and said he looked at the site and feels like the citizen's do. Alderman Bruns said the Master Plan will change the entire look of the area at Gateway and he is listening to the constituents as to how they want Gateway to look. Alderman Darata said she concurs with the rest of the board. Attorney's comment John McClelland said voting should not take place tonight as a specific "Findings of Fact" should be adopted and this will be completed. Public Hearing Opened Mayor Rose opened the Public Hearing at 8:37 p.m. to consider amending Riverside Municipal Code Chapter 435, Section 430.200, Section 485.190, Section 485.200, Section 505.020, Section 440.OlOC.e, Section 400.090, Chapter 470 and to adopt a Riverside Development fee Schedule. The Planning & Zoning Commission and the Riverside Board of Aldermen will also consider amending Section 110.150 "Regular Meeting Times of the Planning Commission". Mins. 7/18/06 Brent said the reason this is being proposed is the fees aze in several different locations in the Municipal Code Book, some places are conflicting and some places no fees. The goal is to have fees in one place. The raising of the fees is necessary as to, time spent by staff and how we compare with other cities. Brent said the city is losing money on applications that aze requested. Examples were given of proposed projects at this time and costs plus what the City is losing in revenue and a penalty clause should be added for people that proceed with work without a permit. A table from the International Code Council will be added to determine the costs of construction. Brent summarized how the tables will be used. Visitors Comments Irene Paulhe, 4700 Petronella Lane said "Good Luck" this is a complicated issue. Toni Looker, 5011 NW Gateway asked if a demolition permit is needed to raise a house and Brent said "Yes". Mrs. Looker also asked to upgrade a house from wood to stone if, it would require a permit. Brent cited the section in the code addressing this question. Mrs. Looker said the code should be made clearer as to who needs permits and who doesn't. Mrs. Looker said she thought there was a problem with applying penalties, especially with new residents and she thinks they need a warning first. Mayor Rose said the resident's do need to be informed through communication with meetings, letters, web page or newsletters. Harold Snoderley said there are signs coming into the City that says permits aze needed before any building is done. Ray Uhl, 4524 NW Apache asked if the City's purpose was to have control in case of inferior material or work. Brent said the first concern is safety and secondly, enforcement of the municipal code. Brent would like to see the fees passed fast and later discuss the permit process. There will be information in future newsletters regarding permits. Copies of the Staff Analysis Report were distributed for everyone to review.
