George Englezos, 4435 NW Gateway, Riverside, MO and Pete Tsakonas, 6925 N W Blair Road, representing KC Suba were present to inquire regarding their application to serve liquor at their place of business at K C Suba, 4435 NW Gateway. The Mayor explained to them that she researched the City's records to see if there was an applicant ahead of them that had requested the same type of liquor license and she said that there were none. She also said that the Chief of Police, Robert Bayleaa had checked out the applicants and everything seemed to be in order. However, at the present time, it appeared that the quota of liquor license allowed in the City wee filled. Mr. Englezos inquired whether he could have ~uat the beer license and it appeared the quota on these waa also taken. The only way another liquor license could be issued would be to change the ordinance and it waa the consensus of the Board that the City had a sufficient number of liquor licensee Call types) and that these should not be incre8aed. Mr. Englezos would be notified when a liquor license becomes available. Steve Warger, 4435 Indian Lane, Riverside, MO, representing the JETS (football team) inquired if they could have permission to have a large trailer parked by the building at the southeast end of the football filed to place their equipment in. Mr. Warger said that there is another stipulation and that it takes a single axle vehicle to move this trailer and the one here locally does not have up to date license and wanted to know if special permission could be given to move the trailer. Chief Bayless said that an escort could be provided. This trailer would be here for the season only and then it would be removed. Alderman Marshall moved that the City approve the parking of the trailer for the JETS to store their equipment in for the season only and then it will be removed, seconded by Alderman Beard, the vote was Aldermen Owen, Beard, Marshall, Auat, Tetera and Aylett, yea.

Box 8114, 2412 Weat 71st Street, Prairie Village, Kansas 66108, representing Creative Source Design for a building application at 4747 NW Gateway was present. Thies was discussed. Thies was approved subject to the plena being approved by the City Engineer, hook up into the sewers and the payment of the fee. Mr. Don Coleman, 7902 NW Scenic Dr., Kansas City, MO 64152 spoke to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen along with other people in the audience shown on the attached paper and made a part of these minutes. Mr. Coleman said he is speaking on behalf of the Quindaro Bend Improvement Association. He said the Association was formed in the early spring by the long-time businesses in the area for the purpose of getting information toward building a levee. He said that if something is not done in the near future, he felt that the federal money that is set aside for this levee will be dropped and will have to start over from the beginning. He asked the City of Riverside to form a task force, consisting of Alderman and their association. Alderman Beard said that the moat the federal government would pay towards building the levee is 52X. Mr. Coleman said he felt that if the federal government knew that the City would help financially with this project, he was sure the government would increase the amount. Mr. Coleman also said that there has to be a commitment from the property owners. Mr. Coleman said that they need many improvements in the area involved in the levee district, like a storm sewer which will carry off the water. The more construction and filling done in the area the more a storm sewer is needed. Mayor Burch said that they have already committed to the improvement of certain streets; that the City ie badly in need of larger quarters, for the City as well as the street department. She felt the task force would a good idea, but it would be a long time before the City could come up with enough money for the levee. ff I Page 3, Min. of Reg. Meet., 7-11-95 Mayor Burch also said that something has to be worked out on the levee east of line creek. Alderman Tetera said that she could not see where the City can financially help on the building the levee in the future, in fact, not in the near future. We have plena for the money and feel the City does not have that kind of money to help with the levee. Alderman Marshall felt that the levee did not have the support of the people. If you had a commitment from the land owners, then maybe there would be more of a chance to get the levee. Alderman Marshall also said that he did not like to design of the levee. Mr. Coleman said they would accept any support they can get. A recess was called. Meeting reconvened and those present were Aldermen Aylett, Tetera, Auat, Marshall, Beard and Owen. Mayor Burch presided over the remainder of the meeting. Joe Uram, Financial Officer for Argosy, 219 Piasa, Alton, IL spoke to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. He said that Argosy has applied for dock aide, non cruising. If this is awarded to them, then they will be able to compete with the other boats. He said they were on target for their terminal and parking facilities, either December or January, 1996. The only thing which may not be on target is the harbor and that is because of the river, the Corps of Engineers will be releasing more water in the summer and fall and they may not be able to stay on it, this depends on the Corps of Engineers. He said this hsa been a better deal than they imagined it would be. He would appreciate any communications to the Gaming Commission in their favor.

C., MO. spoke to the Mayor and Board regarding the rezoning of his property in Platte County. He acid he has gotten the approval of the Commissioners on the rezoning from agricultural to residential, but the only thing up in the air is the improvement of Northwood Road. He said that Platte County recognizes Northwood Road as a Collector Street and the requirements are the same as Riverside, i.e. 36' wide street with curbs. He said they will have only one entry on Northwood Road and no houses will face Northwood Road. He would like to propose an agreement for a 36' street and that this be designed and constructed as the first phase of the subdivision and redevelopment. He said that he would like to have a 60' right of way with 10' setback so that at a future time, if the road needed widening it could be done without coming back for permission. He would like Riverside to approve this and write a letter to the County confirming that it is a 36-foot wide street and will work with Riverside to construct this street at the same time as his housing project is being constructed. He said this would be a long-time planning on the design of his addition. He said he is looking at one year as the length of time to start hie project. Mayor Burch said that the Purcell annexation is no longer being considered because of a petition by residents opposing it. Also there seems to be a controversy as to whether Northwood Road should be an arterial or collector street. The City Engineer has designated it as a collector street. Ed Rule, 3820 N.W. 52nd Street, spoke to the Mayor and Board regarding Northwood Road. He said Kansas City's plan from 52nd Street to 64th Street is for a secondary arterial road and thought this street should not be smaller than the arterial. He also said that Cities do not build atreeta, but the City decides what type of atreeta should be built. Developers build atreeta. Mr. Trimble said that on the 1945 study, Northwood Road was specified as a collector. He said it would be almost impossible to R I Page 6, Min. of Reg. Meet., 7-11-95 make this street an arterial because of the grade. He said he has 1300 feet of property along Northwood Road. He wants to complete the process of his zoning and get the preliminary plena approved. Alderman Tetera asked when does Mr. Trimble plan on developing his property. Mr. Trimble said he plena on starting construction within one year because it will take this long to complete the terrain. He had no problem with City delaying the improvement of Northwood Road. Mayor Burch said she would like to table this matter at this time and invite Mr. Trimble to come back and will call him when it is put on the agenda because she would like to gat it off dead center. Mayor Burch said that Ken Vaughn, Engineer, is here to talk about the street work which is planned. Mr. Vaughn said that Cherokee is ready to take bide on. Mr. Vaughn said that the existing storm drain on Valley Lane should be improved and replace the corrugated pipe which hsa rusted out. The Highway Department has agreed to clean out the pipe and locate the inlet on the north aide of Weat Platte Road. Mr. Vaughn said that the east aide of Valley Lane is part of Garney's storm sewer plan and we don't want the water to go into the old storm sewer. Mr. Vaughn said if the City can agree with Garney to design this storm sewer and replace it with 36" concrete pipe, the City would be willing to pay its portion on the cost of the pipe and he would like approval to prepare an agreement with Briar Cliff Development Corp. to do this phase of the storm sewer <36" x 160'). Mr. Vaughn said that he has to look at the possibility of a temporary cul-de-sac on Cerrito street. He said he talked to Gary Wahl regarding his project. Mr. Vaughn said it appeared that a 60' cul-de-sac could be built using the milled material on Cerrito and still have plenty left over. Mr. Vaughn said they would remove the barricade and replace it at the down hill aide of the cul-de-sac. He said this is the moat economical way to improve this street and suggest that an estimate be obtained. It was suggested that the street needs to be surveyed to establish the right of way and driveways. Alderman Aylett is to get bide from three surveyors. Mr. Vaughn reported that there is one change order on Hillside that is to move one storm inlet on the Roae property from the driveway. The City has allowed for change orders and this will not p Page 7, Min. of Reg. Meeting., 7-11-95 increase the concrete work. Mr. Vaughn said he hea completed an analysis on the streets in Indian Hills. He recommends milling and overlay of Valley Lane up and over the hill where it ends. He said that all the atreeta will get milling, overlay and repairea of driveways where needed as well as the curbs and gutters. There will be a 2-1/2" to 3" rise which will go directly from the flow line to driveway. Mr. Vaughn said on Cerrito the curbs and gutters will be done first and then do the paving. He said the concrete work will go first and everyone will be torn up a little and then will bring in the milling last. Osage will be curbed because at the present time it is not and he wants to make sure this is done right. He will come back with the plena on these atreeta and the City can then go out for bide. Alderman Auat said there is a depression where Woodland and Valley meet and suggests this be checked out. Mayor Burch said that behind Super's house there is a drain which was placed there by the property owner. Will try to get bide on the pro~ecta by August 4, 1995. Mr. Vaughn said the next project will be the grading plan for the public works building. The drainage problem will have to be worked out. Mayor Burch and the Board suggested that the drainage on Riverside Streets needs to be corrected. Alderman Aylett said that he would like to have an estimate and eight plena on the public works building. He also would like to have a time frame, once the design and site plan are approved. The position of an inspector was discussed. It was the consensus of the Mayor and Board that a full time inspector was needed. Mayor Burch will get a description of an inspector's position and will advertise for same.

It was brought out that the drainage inlet on west aide of Homestead Park needs repair. Ken Vaughn said he talked to Don Jones on Merrimac regarding the wall to be built on his property and he suggested this be built of concrete block. He has requested an estimate of the coat of the construction from Muehlberger. Ken Vaughn brought up the Rogers tree and the wall around it. Thies matter was discussed as to whose responsibility it is to build the wall. It was the consensus of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to give Vision Construction a written notice that they have ten days within which to complete their work on Merrimac. City Attorney Don Witt said that before terminating Vision Construction that the City set out all the outstanding problems which have not been worked out with the City as well as the residents on Merrimac.
