Preliminary Development Plan/Preliminary Plat and
Rezoning 3900 NW Helena Road
Chair Bowman opened the public hearing at 6:52 for both the
preliminary development plan/ preliminary plat and the rezoning
of 3900 NW Helena Road
Carlson explained that both the preliminary development
plan/preliminary plat and the rezoning are for the same property
and projects so they will be discussed together. She explained
that the applicant, Lamar Construction, is requesting that
approximately 40 acres be rezoned from GP-I General Planned
Industrial to PD Planned Development similar to the other
developments in Horizons. The preliminary plat in question will
consist of one lot that will require the extension of infrastructure
to include the extension of NW Helena Road and NW 40th Street
The preliminary development plan presented shows the general
layout of the 425,000 square foot building and the parking.
Parking will be on the west side of the building as it is one of the
few things allowed in the Levee Critical Area. Because this
development is within the Levee Critical area landscaping is
limited on the west side of the building. Additional landscaping
will be necessary on the final development plan along NW Helena
Road and NW 41st Street for additional screening. In addition, the
applicant will be required to make some adjustments on the
building elevation to help break up how the building looks prior
to approval of the final development plan at a later time.
Commissioner Soler asked what is allowed in the Levee Critical
Area. Carlson replied that no holes are allowed to be dug in that
area.
Commissioner King asked if this would be the tallest building in
Horizons so far. Carlson replied that the building will be 60 feet
tall in some areas to accommodate machinery so it would be the
tallest building so far.
Commissioner Bowman asked about parking for the facility if
they expand. Carlson replied that the applicant is requesting that
we reduce some of the parking requirement for them, but there
will still be room for parking if there is an expansion in the future.
Commissioner Kaspar asked what the timing on this project was.
Carlson replied that they would like to start breaking ground
sometime next month.
Jon Frego with Lamar Construction as the owners representative
discussed with the Commission what they would like to see as far
as building color and elevation as well as additional landscaping

for the final development plan.
Commissioner Soler asked about signage. Frego replied that they
typically have a monument sign located near the road.
Chair Bowman closed the public hearing at 7:17 p.m.
Commissioner Kasper asked about the infrastructure. Carlson
explained that the City is working to secure CDBG funding to
extend the road and sewer as well as KCPL and Missouri
American Water. This site will also tie into the regional detention
system in Horizons.

development plan/final plat of 3900 NW Helena Road to the
Board of Aldermen, seconded by Commissioner Snoderley.
Motion passed 9-0.
