Mayor Betty Burch and Aldermen Toni Looker were absent. Also present were Brent Miles,Community Development Coordinator for the City of Riverside. Minutes Brent Miles asked that the minutes of October 13,2005 be tabled. Gatewoods PD Amendment Chairman Barbara Snyder opened the public hearing at 7:30 regarding the Gatewoods PD Amendment. Applicant T.E. Woods Construction, is requesting"exceptions" for certain yard setbacks to be approved via ordinance in the Final Development Plan for Gatewoods.Phase H. Due to the subdivision being zoned "Planned Development", the Commission and the Board have the power to allow exceptions to the zoning code if it can be determined that these exceptions do not sacrifice the intent of the Planned Development. Exceptions have already been approved for the Gatewoods Planned Development in Ordinance 2002-68 regarding lot widths on particular lots. The exceptions granted for this request would be similar in nature to the previous exceptions granted, but for setback provisions as opposed to lot widths. Specifically, Brent explained that Lots 16, 26, and 36 needed to have exceptions in terms of setbacks as follows: • Lot 16: The example"footprint"plot plan submitted by the applicant for Lot 11 indicates an encroachment of three(3) feet. • Lot 26: The example"footprint"plot plan submitted by the applicant for Lot 26 indicates an encroachment of five feet five inches(5' 5")and eight feet two inches(8'2"). • Lot 36: The example"footprint"plot plan submitted by the applicant for Lot 36 indicates an encroachment of thirteen(13) feet. Brent was asked how this was to be structured in terms of an ordinance and enforcement. Brent indicated that a new ordinance would be written which would attach the"footprint"plot plans and the setbacks cannot exceed the illustration presented. The next discussion regarded amending the approved development in terms of"House Types". Due to Gatewoods being a"Planned Development",all house plans must be approved by Ordinance. Ordinance 2005-33 is the presiding ordinance over this aspect of the Planned Development. The applicant is requesting that four(4)new house plans are approved for the development. These four(4)new plans are the"Pinehurst","Magnolia","Sierra",and the"Dogwood". Brent stated that these are basically replacements for four plans that were approved previously. Ray Uhl made a motion to recommend to the Riverside Board of Aldermen,David Hurt seconded the motion,all voted aye. Complete Home Concepts Chairman Barbara Snyder opened the Public Hearing at 7:50 regarding Preliminary Plat the Preliminary Plat for Complete Home Concepts. The applicant,J- Jay Properties(Complete Home Concepts)is requesting Preliminary Plat approval for`Belgium Bottoms Business Park Lots 1-3". The preliminary plat submitted consists of three(3)lots. These three(3) lots are the following sizes: • Lot 1: 7.3005 acres(318,011.88 square feet) • Lot 2: 12.0508 acres(524,932.50 square feet) • Lot 3: 2.6124 acres(113,797.38 square feet) Brent presented the following as the staff analysis for the project: Classification of Subdivision The proposed subdivision contains three lots,of which all proposed lots do not have frontage on existing streets. Due to this,and the extension of public utilities,the subdivision would be classified as a"Major Subdivision"and must meet the requirements of this designation. The review and approval of"Major Subdivisions"is dictated by Riverside Municipal Code Section 485.190 for Preliminary Plats and by Riverside Municipal Code Section 485.200 for Final Plats. The requested action for the submitted proposal is for approval of the"Preliminary Plat"of the`Belgium Bottoms Business Park Lots 1-3". Required Information The plat submitted was lacking required information for a "Preliminary Plat". A staff review memo was completed that detailed the missing information and was sent to the applicants project architect and project engineer(attached). Staff has been informed that these items are currently being addressed, but at the time of this report,staff had not yet received this information. Public Hearing and Notification Public hearing and notification of this request has been completed in accordance to Municipal Code for this project including notification at least fifteen(15)days in advance of this hearing and certified mailings to all property owners with one hundred eighty five(185)feet of the proposed project. Public Improvements and Utilities Streets: The development and subdivision proposed will access a proposed east/west commercial collector that will intersect with Mattox Road at the southeast corner of Lot 3. This proposed east/west road (being built by the Levee District)will intersect with a proposed street (built by the developer)on the eastern boundaries of Lots 1 &2,and the western boundary of Lot 3. The approximate length of the proposed north/south road is sixteen hundred(1600)feet. Utilities: Below,please find utility status for each entity involved: • Sanitary Sewer: Discussions are still ongoing with KCMO water services for this project. Staff and the applicant have agreed on a methodology and location for the sanitary sewer system,but this has yet to be approved by KCMG. Staff has requested that an easement for utilities be indicated on the"Preliminary Plat"that is in accordance with the discussed methodology and location. • Water: Staff has met with Missouri American Water Company (MAWC)to discuss water service to this project. An application has been made to MAWC by the developer for this request and should be reflected on the"Preliminary Plat". • Electric: Awaiting information from applicant and utility. • Gas:Awaiting information from applicant and utility.

Gatewoods PD Amendment Acting Chairworman Toni Looker opened the public hearing at 7:30 regarding the Gatewoods PD Amendment for Lot 18. Applicant T.E. Woods Construction,is requesting an"exceptions"for a rear yard setback for Lot 18 to be approved via ordinance in the Final Development Plan for Gatewoods.Phase H. Due to the subdivision being zoned"Planned Development",the Commission and the Board have the power to allow exceptions to the zoning code if it can be determined that these exceptions do not sacrifice the intent of the Planned Development. Exceptions have already been approved for the Gatewoods Planned Development in Ordinance 2002-68 regarding lot widths on particular lots. The exceptions granted for this request would be similar in nature to the previous exceptions granted,but for rear setback provisions as opposed to lot widths. Specifically,Brent explained that Lot 18 has been a topic of discussion for some time. T.E.Woods construction did not indicate the proposed deck on their original site plan,but included it on the building permit plans. This was not caught at the staff level and we stopped when construction was about to proceed. The house received a variance for the house,but was denied a variance for the deck. Brent proceeded to explain that Lot 18 abutted the Common Area set by plat. This common area measured approximately 25-30 feet in width as it touched Lot 18. Brent believed that this was a positive in recommending approval of the rear yard exception. Brent also explained that he believed that it was a better situation than for example a fence that could abut the common area. Brent said that he also believed that the intent of the common areas was not only for recreation,but also served to create"community". Brent believed that this would increase the idea of"community". Evelyn Poe made a motion to recommend to the Riverside Board of Aldermen,Harold Snodderly seconded the motion,all voted aye. Flavia Tarwater The applicant,Flavia Tarwater,is requesting a building permit for an Building Permit attached garage addition on to her home at 3005 NW Florence.

IVERSIDE l4kE AR1DE IN OUR QROG4 City of Riverside Staff Analysis Report Applicant: City of Riverside Case Number: PC05- Requested Action: To consider amending Riverside Municipal Code Section 420.020.1)regarding"Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations: Minimum Requirements for Layout and Design" Current Municipal Code Riverside Municipal Code Chapter 420 regulates"Off Street Parking& Loading Regulations". Specifically, section 420.020.1) states that there are minimum requirements for layout and design for offstreet parking. Currently,the"Code"states the following: D. Minimum Requirements For Layout And Design. 1. Design standards. (See diagrams at the end of this Chapter) a. Off-street parking spaces for passenger cars shall comply with the design standards relating to curb length, stall depth, driveway width, island width,barriers, and ingress and egress as contained in the Off-Street Parking Standards of this Chapter. b. Off-street parking facilities for trucks at restaurants, service stations, and other similar and related uses shall be of sufficient size to adequately serve trucks and not interfere with other vehicles that use the same facilities. Such truck spaces shall not be less than ten(10) feet in width and fifty-five (55) feet in length. c. (1) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the required off-street parking spaces may be designed for compact cars. Such spaces shall be grouped in one location, identified by signs as reserved for compact cars only and located reasonably close to building entrances in order to encourage utilization. (2) Compact off-street parking spaces shall comply with the design standards contained in the off-street parking standards of this Chapter. (3) Exception. Vehicle storage lots. Staff Analysis and Proposed Changes The current code states"see diagrams at the end of this chapter"which are not currently not in place. Staff has previously been applying a"standard planning practice dimension"when performing staff review of parking lot layouts and designs. This practice needs to be codified to ensure minimum requirements are in place for each development proposed. While this codification of the dimensions is the bulk of the code amendment, staff has also proposed other changes to this section of the Code as well. Below, please find the proposed changes: 420.020.D. Requirements For Design and Layout The provisions of this Section apply to all vehicle parking spaces and parking areas, whether the parking meets or exceeds the number of spaces established in this Chapter to serve a particular use or the parking lot is operated as a principal use on a property and not dedicated to servicing a particular use. A. Vehicle parking spaces. 1. Every parking space shall provide a useable rectangular area at least nine (9) feet wide by eighteen (18)feet long. Access aisles shall not encroach into this minimum rectangular area. Every parking space shall be clearly demarcated by lines painted on or otherwise applied to the parking lot surface. 2. Off-street parking facilities for trucks at restaurants, service stations, and other similar and related uses shall be of sufficient size to adequately serve trucks and not interfere with other vehicles that use the same facility. Such truck spaces shall not be less than ten (10)feet in width by sixty-five (65)feet in length. B. Access and circulation. 1. Access aisles in parking lots shall have the following dimensions. One-way traffic aisles must be clearly marked with directional arrows on the pavement at each intersection with another aisle. Table 420.020.B.1 Traffic Aisle Dimensions Parking Stalls Serviced Traffic Aisle Angle by Aisle Flow Width (ft.) a. 900 One side One or 24 Two way b. 90, Both sides Two way 24 C. 450 One side One way 16 d. 600 One side One way 16 e. 450 Both sides One way 16 f. 600 Both sides One way 20 g. 45° Both sides Two way 20 h. 600 Both sides Two way 20 2. Parking areas shall be designed so that sanitation, emergency and other public service vehicles can serve the development without backing unreasonable distances or making other dangerous or hazardous turning movements. 3. The minimum width of driveways for ingress and egress shall be the same as those specified above for aisles. Driveway width, for the purpose of this section, shall include only the pavement and not the curbs and gutters. The proposed changes follow a format called"SmartCode"which is a fairly new planning practice. This "SmartCode"utilizes charts,tables, and graphs instead of text and verbiage to explain code, which has had an impact on arguments regarding ambiguity.
