[1:27] » Um
[1:28] call the roll, please.
[1:30] » Uh
[1:31] Ginger Riddle.
[1:31] » Yes.
[1:33] » Uh Brian Payne.
[1:33] » Yes.
[1:34] » Uh Jerry Geis.
[1:35] » Yes.
[1:36] » Nancy McDougal.
[1:36] » Yes.
[1:37] » Richard Han- Hannon.
[1:40] » [clears throat]
[1:40] » Under a new business, our first item is
[1:43] development uh preliminary plat and a
[1:45] final plat
[1:46] uh or uh
[1:48] number 260002
[1:50] the McNeal Acres prim- prim- preliminary
[1:54] and final plats.
[1:55] Um
[1:57] Uh does the staff have anything they
[1:59] want to brief us on that item?
[2:03] » Uh so, this was a plat that was brought
[2:06] to is being brought to you because the
[2:08] project
[2:09] um
[2:11] that is the wrong picture. My apologies.
[2:14] That is not the property we're talking
[2:16] about. Um so, the rest of it is correct.
[2:19] Uh this is a property at 131 Ida Street.
[2:21] This would have been taken through as an
[2:24] administrative plat uh except for the
[2:26] fact um that they're asking for a waiver
[2:28] and uh this was already administratively
[2:30] platted uh a couple of years ago. Um so,
[2:35] uh with that, there were a couple of
[2:36] conditions.
[2:37] Uh the applicant's agent is here uh
[2:41] and
[2:43] um I staff recommends approval of the
[2:46] two cases uh with the conditions.
[2:48] » I I think the earlier administrative
[2:50] plat was they uh the applicant and his
[2:53] neighbor swapped some land. I I think it
[2:55] was to improve make a a better driveway
[2:57] area or something like that.
[2:58] » I do believe so.
[3:00] » Uh Joe, do you have anything that you
[3:01] want to add?
[3:02] » No, thank you.
[3:03] » Okay.
[3:04] Is there any discussion, debate? They
[3:07] are asking for a waiver to the
[3:09] requirement for uh um
[3:12] set aside for open space.
[3:14] » Could you bring it up?
[3:15] » And the sidewalk.
[3:15] » Could you please bring it
[3:17] » Um I'm looking at a um
[3:21] » Sorry, I said it
[3:22] » [clears throat]
[3:22] » The correct one is not in the packet.
[3:23] » No, that sorry. The photo was not
[3:25] correct. The the aerial was Monroe
[3:28] Manor, not this one. The rest of it was
[3:30] correct.
[3:31] » Just bring up the survey.
[3:32] » Yes, go ahead.
[3:43] And then if you could go down to page
[3:45] number nine.
[3:47] There you go. There are the conditions.
[3:52] » Are there any discussion about the
[3:53] conditions?
[3:55] Um
[3:57] the waiver of the sidewalk and the
[4:00] the park.
[4:01] Open space.
[4:04] Okay, we'll save it for the discussion
[4:06] on the motion.
[4:06] » I and
[4:08] » Sorry, go ahead.
[4:10] Go ahead.
[4:12] You want to
[4:13] scan down to the plat itself?
[4:39] » There's no sidewalks on this side of the
[4:41] street. Correct.
[4:43] » Correct.
[4:43] » Okay.
[4:44] » And
[4:45] the I it's like 2A or I think is the lot
[4:49] that Mr. McNeil has his house on and
[4:51] then on the right side up there is the
[4:54] the creation of an additional lot.
[4:57] I think named 2B or something.
[4:59] » Correct.
[5:01] » So that's the intention.
[5:02] » Yep. It fits in with the the zoning
[5:05] district.
[5:06] Uh maintains a large
[5:08] uh large lots. And then the exception
[5:11] for the open space requirement it
[5:13] uh it's granted that power is granted to
[5:16] you as a as a
[5:18] uh
[5:19] to be able to grant that because the
[5:22] there is open space.
[5:23] One of the
[5:24] Lansing trails is to the to the east and
[5:28] it's within the service area of that.
[5:30] Um but that is explicitly granted to you
[5:33] in the
[5:33] » Well, and it would be very awkward to
[5:34] create an open space on the two-lot
[5:36] subdivision.
[5:38] » There is that, too.
[5:40] But he's got great, you know, trail he's
[5:42] got a great uh creek there we can
[5:43] » Yeah.
[5:45] I don't think the mayor would mind
[5:46] having uh people traipsing over his
[5:48] property to get to the creek.
[5:49] » Well, there's a trail back there would
[5:50] be different.
[5:51] » All right, correct.
[5:53] » Does anybody want to make a motion or do
[5:55] you have any questions about the plat?
[6:00] The motion should include whether or not
[6:01] you want to grant those exceptions as
[6:03] listed in the staff report.
[6:18] Have you got
[6:19] Have you got this sheet?
[6:21] » Well, this doesn't have that.
[6:24] » Well, this is possible [snorts] motions
[6:25] if you want to use that.
[6:32] » Okay. I make a motion to approve the
[6:37] 02 26 02 finding that the plat is in
[6:41] compliance with the approved preliminary
[6:43] plat meets the applicable review
[6:44] criteria for the unified development
[6:46] ordinance as subject to the acceptance
[6:48] of public dedications subject to the
[6:49] government lines.
[6:51] » And and those two exceptions
[6:54] as discussed in the staff report.
[6:56] » Uh to include the two discussed the two
[6:58] exceptions listed there.
[7:01] » That's a Have a motion
[7:02] Do I have a second?
[7:03] » I'll second it.
[7:04] » We have a second. Is there any
[7:05] discussion of the motion?
[7:08] Hearing none, I'll ask for a roll call.
[7:11] » Uh Ginger Riddle.
[7:12] » Yes.
[7:13] » Uh Brian Payne.
[7:13] » Yes.
[7:15] » Uh Jerry Geis.

[7:19] » Okay.
[7:19] Uh next item of just business is item
[7:21] three, the a case development DVS
[7:25] special uh
[7:26] site plan 26006 Basels lot 15 in the
[7:30] industrial park uh
[7:32] um it is the property owner is proposing
[7:34] building a 16,500 square foot building
[7:38] um
[7:39] on the property is zoned industrial and
[7:41] to be used for industrial uses.
[7:44] Um
[7:48] There are a couple conditions that the
[7:49] staff wanted to be met before they
[7:52] proceeded.
[7:54] Uh other than that, is the applicant
[7:57] want to speak?
[7:59] » Yeah, quick.
[8:02] I guess

[8:12] Yeah. Okay.
[8:14] Uh we're Yes.
[8:15] » Introduce yourself, please, Jeremy.
[8:17] » Yeah, Jeremy Greenmyer with Greenmyer
[8:19] Rentals. Uh the owner of the land this
[8:20] building is incorporated and also one of
[8:21] our one of our businesses. I thought it
[8:23] might help to give a quick uh background
[8:25] as to why you're seeing two plans come
[8:28] through today
[8:29] uh from one from us and then one from my
[8:31] uncle,
[8:32] um who will be a separate
[8:34] Our current building, which houses both
[8:36] of our businesses, is currently under
[8:38] contract for redevelopment. So, we're
[8:40] both putting forward a new home.
[8:43] We have the last two lots in light
[8:44] industrial that are still available, so
[8:46] we're able to make some uh site plan to
[8:48] work for both of our
[8:49] » [snorts]
[8:50] » Both of our businesses. Uh this is what
[8:52] we're going to be seeing tonight. It
[8:53] looks like uh lot 15 is the start, so
[8:55] I'll will sit down here in a second. Uh
[8:57] but I do want to thank you
[8:59] uh staff for helping us get this through
[9:00] quickly. We are we have been under
[9:03] um a bit of a time constraint, so I
[9:05] appreciate their help getting us uh
[9:07] in front of planning commission
[9:09] quickly.
[9:10] » Questions for Jeremy?
[9:12] Thank you, Jeremy.
[9:14] Uh
[9:15] Josh, you want to go over the items that
[9:18] we wanted to see finished?
[9:22] » Yes. Um
[9:26] So, there are a couple of uh small items
[9:29] on the the site plan that need to be
[9:30] addressed. Um we hit an the unfortunate
[9:33] time of the summer where uh people from
[9:36] Atlas were uh on vacation and people
[9:38] from the city are on vacation.
[9:41] Uh, so we are not able to,
[9:43] complete totally the the reviews on on
[9:46] this, but it's things like, uh, if you
[9:48] look at page, um, 61, uh,
[9:53] the basils a lot 15 has, uh, the address
[9:57] of the Greenamyer property, uh, where
[9:59] Greenamyer Rentals will go listed
[10:01] instead of instead of
[10:03] currently it doesn't have an address.
[10:05] Um,
[10:06] needed to update industrial, uh, the the
[10:09] zoning listed on the the face of the
[10:11] site plan.
[10:13] Uh, a couple of items along, uh, those,
[10:16] uh, that type of, um,
[10:19] issues, uh,
[10:21] may updating to reference Lansing and
[10:23] not KCMO. Uh,
[10:26] those type of items that that can be
[10:27] addressed, uh, at a later point. Um,
[10:29] there's nothing outstanding that is
[10:31] cause for concern. Uh,
[10:34] but, uh, there are a couple of items
[10:36] just be just due to
[10:39] overlap of of of schedules that that,
[10:42] uh, rendered this not able to be fully
[10:44] completed, but, uh, in order to be a
[10:46] good partner, uh, and because,
[10:48] again, easy things to fix, nothing
[10:50] » Yeah.
[10:51] » Uh, nothing to, uh, that is a problem,
[10:54] uh, we wanted to get that on the agenda
[10:56] this this month.
[10:58] » Does anybody want to make a motion
[11:00] on this, uh, case?
[11:01] » I move to approve case number DEVSP26005
[11:04] with conditions as outlined by the
[11:06] staff.
[11:10] Staff report.
[11:11] » It's all
[11:11] » Second.

[11:14] » Oh, I got the wrong page. Oh, six,
[11:16] excuse me.

[11:41] another lot as Jeremy had mentioned in
[11:43] the industrial park.

[11:45] uh
[11:47] I think there were some of the same
[11:50] small small items on the
[11:52] » Mhm.
[11:52] » Site plan that Josh had talked about on
[11:54] the last one.

[12:24] parking lot perimeters are supposed to
[12:25] be at least 8 ft wide
[12:28] according to uh the guidelines listed in
[12:31] the UDO. However, due to the location of
[12:34] this property,
[12:36] uh the the
[12:38] uh triangular nature of it and trying to
[12:40] fit the the building onto it, um staff
[12:43] does not recommend recommend
[12:45] the strict enforcement of that and we
[12:47] are that is a a condition that I want
[12:50] you to be aware of uh that we
[12:52] we are granting a waiver or an exception
[12:54] for.
[12:54] » Do we need to put that in our staff

[15:08] hosted here in the the uh community
[15:10] center. Uh we are going to it's going to
[15:12] be a two-day process. Uh it will be
[15:14] about 90 minutes the first 90 to 120
[15:18] minutes, so an hour and a half to two
[15:19] hours. The first day maybe a little bit
[15:22] longer on the second day, but it's going
[15:24] to be uh an an introduction and then an
[15:27] exercise
[15:28] to the ideas behind economic development
[15:31] and zoning and land use, how those all
[15:33] work together in order to build a
[15:37] build a city and what we can do, what we
[15:39] can't do in terms of finances,
[15:42] in terms of land use regulations and
[15:44] that type of thing. And then we're going
[15:46] to use that as the springboard to what
[15:49] we need to
[15:52] either change in our UDO or what is
[15:54] already good in our UDO and then they're
[15:56] going to use that to also uh
[16:00] build recommendations for goals and
[16:02] policies within the the comprehensive
[16:04] plan itself.
[16:06] So, it's going to be
[16:08] an interesting time. It'll be a about a

[16:12] very interesting. We're going to We're
[16:14] going to have an exercise where people
[16:15] are actually building
[16:17] a city.
[16:20] And we will work out what that means for
[16:22] finances and all that good stuff
[16:24] during the process and we'll go from
[16:26] there.
