EDWARDSVILLE CITY HALL COUNCIL
CHAMBERS
690 SOUTH 4TH STREET P O BOX 13738
EDWARDSVILLE, KANSAS 66113
April 18, 2007
Members Present: Heinz Rodgers, Bryan
Smith, Jeff Martinek and Gerald Pappert, and Tim Sweeten
Absent: Robert Craven and Harold Berry
PUBLIC HEARING:
PRELIMINARY PLAT, SUBDIVISION APPLICATION FOR ASHUR HEIGHTS, 615 S 110TH STREET. OWNERS: ROBERT & JENNIFER FRIEBEL
Chairman Rodgers: We will call the pubic hearing to order by stating that the notice was duly published in “The Chieftain” newspaper on March 22, 2007, as required by law. The first public hearing is for:
PRELIMINARY PLAT, SUBDIVISION APPLICATION FOR ASHUR HEIGHTS, 615 S. 110TH STREET.
Do we have a staff report?
Dan Van Petten: Yes we do Mr. Chairman. Please refer to
Item A attached.
Chairman Rodgers: Do we have any comments from the public?
Jennifer Friebel: Ms. Friebel was very frustrated regarding the storm water management requirement because of the information received in a meeting with her surveyor Aaron and Phyllis Freeman and Jack Peters in which Jack Peters indicated he knew how the land laid and the storm water study would not be required. She does not think that the lack of a storm water management should come back on them because of the referenced meeting.
As landowners she feels that they are not getting the whole story.
Chairman Rodgers: I can understand your frustration, but it is a state statute that we have a storm water management review. Our hands are tied on that aspect, but there are also other issues that need to be addressed.
After further discussion, Chairman Rodgers entertained a motion to close the public hearing.
Bryan Smith: I make a motion to close the public hearing.
Gerald Pappert: Seconded. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING:
REQUEST FOR CHANGE OF ZONING, 9701 KAW DRIVE, APPLICANT GERALD CURRIE. FROM COMMERCIAL EXTENSIVE (C-2) TO INDUSTRIAL NON-HAZARD (I-1).
Chairman Rodgers: We will open the public hearing by stating that the notice was duly published in “The Kansan” newspaper on March 22, 2007, as required by law. Do we have a staff report?
Dan Van Patten: Yes, we do Mr. Chairman. Please refer to attachment B.
Chairman Rodgers: (To Mr. Currie) Were you made aware of the overlay district down there when you came to City Hall? There is an overlay district that requires an extra step to go through an architectural review board and I would assume that typically it would have gone through that review board prior to coming to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Currie: My son has brought information regarding our plans for beautification improvements.
Chairman Rodgers: That would typically be reviewed by the architectural review board and them submitted to the Planning Commission with their recommendations. That requires a tabling by this board until we receive a recommendation from that board.
After additional discussion, Mr. Van Patten agreed to provide copies of Ordinance 835 and 836 for Mr. Currie and his architect to review.
Chairman Rodgers: I entertain a motion to close the public hearing.
Tim Sweeten: I make a motion to close the public hearing.
Jeff Martinek: I seconded. Motion carried.
REGULAR MEETING
Chairman Rodgers: I would like to call the regular meeting to order.
We will begin with the Secretary’s Report. Do I have a motion to approve the minutes?
Tim Sweeten: I make a motion that the minutes be approved as submitted.
Gerald Pappert: Seconded. Motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
PRELIMINARY PLAT, SUBDIVISION APPLICATION FOR ASHUR HEIGHTS, 615 S. 110TH STREET. OWNERS: ROBERT & JENNIFER FRIEBEL
Chairman Rodgers: We already heard our staff report during the Public Hearing session. I would like to personally apologize for the misunderstandings that have happened with our city staff. We need a clearer set of instructions for landowners like yourselves that will make it easier to do this. Unfortunately though, this is where we are at. If memory serves me, we have approved the sketch plan and in the process there are three plans that have to be approved: the sketch plan, preliminary plat and the final plat.
Bryan Smith: We approved the sketch plan last month and verbally commented on the requirements for the preliminary plan.
Chairman Rodgers: I think we will make sure you get the appropriate information that details what the requirements are for that preliminary plan with the help of city staff.
After discussion:
Gerald Pappert: Can we include the review of the Preliminary Plat and Final Plat for next month?
Chairman Rodgers: I don’t see any reason why we can’t and that would prevent you from being delayed another month if we can work with your professional getting the preliminary plat information and work closely with the city staff on that and likewise the final plat information all ready, maybe we can get that through the Planning Commission all at one time.
After further discussion, Chairman Rodgers entertained a motion to table the preliminary plat.
Jeff Martinek: I make a motion to table the preliminary plat, subdivision application for Ashur Heights.
Gerald Pappert: Seconded. Motion carried.
CHANGE OF ZONING, 9701 KAW DRIVE, APPLICANT, GERALD CURRIE
Chairman Rodgers: We have heard a staff report during the public hearing. Again, we are going to do our best to work with city staff to provide additional information for you. At this time I entertain a motion to table the zoning change.
Gerald Pappert: I make a motion to table the zoning change at 9701 Kaw Drive.
Jeff Martinek: Seconded. Motion carried.
OLD BUSINESS
KAW VALLEY INDUSTRIAL PARK, PRELIMINARY PLAT, PHILIP & SUZAN REED, OWNERS
Chairman Rodgers: The Planning Commission requests a letter be written to the applicants requesting an update of their intentions or the application will expire on May 8, 2007.
Bryan Smith: In the future could the status of items listed in Old Business be includ with the date of action?
The secretary will forward this request to the city clerk who prepares the packets.
ITEMS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Chairman Rodgers: I got a nice card from Barbara Stafos thanking the commission for their gift certificate. Likewise, I have a letter of resignation that I’m submitting to the Planning Commission relinquishing my post. Mr. Martinek will step in as the chairman. If you have any recommendations or suggestions to fill the void on the planning commission, there is a form to be completed and you can get that at city hall. I would like to make appointments at the next council meeting if possible.
Are there any other items for the Planning Commission?
Bryan Smith: I would like to make a motion to have a work session at 6 pm before the next scheduled Planning Commission meeting to work on the proposed I-435 Overlay District and request that Mr. Dan Van Patten be included in the work session.
Jeff Martinek: Seconded. Motion carried.
ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR
None.
ADJOURN
Jeff Martinek: I make a motion to adjourn.
Gerald Pappert: Seconded. Motion carried.
Next regularly scheduled meeting May 16, 2007.
