LEGISLATION

BILL # 3573 - AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE APPROVAL OF A SUBDIVISION CONSOLIDATION PLAT FOR BALLWIN ELEMENTARY CONSOLIDATION SUBDIVISION AS PROVIDED IN CHAPTER 25 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BALLWIN, MISSOURI.

A motion was made by Alderman Fleming and seconded by Alderman Boerner for a first reading of Bill No. 3573.   A voice vote was taken with a unanimous affirmative result and the motion passed.  Bill No. 3573 was read for the first time.

A motion was made by Alderman Suozzi and seconded by Alderman Boerner for a second reading of Bill No. 3573.  A voice vote was taken with a unanimous affirmative result and the motion passed.  Bill No. 3573 was read for the second time.

A roll call was taken for passage and approval of Bill No. 3573 with the following results: 
Ayes – Suozzi, Boerner, Mellow, Terbrock, Fleming, Schmer, Leahy, McDowell.   Nays – None.  Bill No. 3573 was approved and became Ordinance No. 09-16.


BILL # 3574 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 557, KNOWN AS "THE ZONING ORDINANCE" OF THE CITY OF BALLWIN, AND AMENDING "THE DISTRICT MAP" BY CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN LAND IN THE CITY OF BALLWIN FROM R-3 SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT TO C-1 COMMERCIAL.

A motion was made by Alderman Fleming and seconded by Alderman Boerner for a first reading of Bill No. 3574.   A voice vote was taken with a unanimous affirmative result and the motion passed.  Bill No. 3574 was read for the first time.

City Attorney Jones said that at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting and again at this meeting, a petition was submitted pursuant to State Law and the ordinances of the City of Ballwin which requires, in order to pass the petition, a super majority, which is an affirmative vote of 6 of the 8 aldermen.  He said that he did not follow the usual procedure to verify the petition in terms of signatures and the proximity because the Planning & Zoning Commission had a negative recommendation which it sent to the Board of Aldermen.  According to Ballwin ordinances, that also requires a super majority.  In order to pass bill 3574, it will require the affirmative vote of 6 aldermen.

Alderman Boerner made the following statements:  “Many of the residents of Piccardy, Clarkson Crossing, Rockwood School District, and the Cities of Clarkson Valley and Chesterfield have all expressed opposition to the rezoning of the parcel of ground at the corner of Kehrs Mill and Clarkson Roads from residential to commercial.  I express a special concern for the homeowners who made a buying decision based upon the expectation that this parcel would ultimately be developed as a residential community.”

“The concerns expressed are legitimate and you have every right to participate in this process – especially those who are residents of Ballwin.  The primary concerns are that commercial development of this site (i) would cause property values to decrease by having the store in your back yard, (ii) disposition of waste from the store would be unsightly or smell, (iii). would cause traffic problems, (iv) and lighting from the parking lot is undesirable.”

Property Values:  “A closely related case study is the Schnucks development on Old Manchester Road in Wildwood.  In 10 years or less, the property values, including those backing to Schnucks and constructed before the Schnucks was built, have increased approximately 50%.  There is a community of approxi-mately 20 homes currently priced at $500,000 and up that was developed after the Schnucks store was built.  The fact that some of these homes backed to the Schnucks store apparently did not impact the buying decision.  I have driven that street many times and was only recently aware that many of these homes backed to the Schnucks store.  Every effort was made in Wildwood and at this location to provide an effective and appropriate landscaping barrier between the development and the adjacent homes.”

Disposition of Waste:  “All waste will be compacted and stored inside until the trash truck picks it up.  This should eliminate the concern for unsightly dumpsters or unpleasant odors.”

Traffic Problems:  “The Rockwood School District and others have expressed concerns over increased traffic at an intersection already burdened.  I find it interesting that Rockwood has expressed concerns over a problem that the district created.  There are approximately 700 parking spaces (I counted them) at the school, and to my knowledge only one entrance off of Clarkson Road that is provided for access to these 700 parking spaces.  The problem occurs during week days approximately 8 months out of the year between the hours of 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. and again between the hours of 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. – excluding summer vacation, Christmas vacation, Spring break and other holidays.  This has been a problem for as long as Marquette High School has been in existence.  When I served on the Rockwood School Board, there was never a ground swell of opposition to this daily inconvenience.  The site plan has proposed a solution to this problem.”

Lighting from the Parking Lot:  “Specially designed lighting will be installed that will direct all lighting toward the center of the parking light.  These special lighting fixtures will contain blinders on them to minimize light that would escape to the sides and rear.”

Conclusion:  “I and the other members of this Board are charged with not only addressing what is good for homeowners directly impacted, but all interested parties.  Other than homeowners that are directly impacted, other residents of Ballwin overwhelmingly support the project.  This Board is charged with determining what is fair to and appropriate for all parties involved.”

“Other than the aforementioned parties, the other parties involved are (i). the current owner of the land, (ii) Schnucks Markets,  and (iii) the City of Ballwin.”

The Current Owner :  “The land is roughly a 4.27 acre pie-shaped plot of land bounded on two sides by major roadways.  A study conducted by Mark S. Mehlman Realty Inc. concluded that this ground is not suitable for a residential development that would yield a reasonable profit.  Certainly, at some price and a limited number of building sites at the right price could turn a profit.  However, the conclusion was that the best use of this land is for commercial development.  If this Board refuses to rezone this ground, then we may very well render this ground virtually worthless.  That is not fair.”

Schnucks Markets:  “As demonstrated by the Wildwood location, Schnucks can and has developed a site that has minimal or perhaps even a positive impact on the values of the surrounding homes.  Management has complied with requests from the City of Ballwin to improve the site plan and has made every attempt to mitigate the concerns of the surrounding neighborhoods.  Schnucks has no interest in creating ill will from the City of Ballwin or its customers.  I have personally seen that the teenagers in Wildwood from the adjoining communities congregate at the Bread Company or one of the other restaurants in that development.”

The City of Ballwin:  “The City has the obligation to be fair to all interested parties and to promote the best use of resources available to continue to provide the services to which the residents of the City, as a whole, have become accustomed.”

Alderman Boerner said, “based upon these considerations, I believe that it is in the best interest of the City of Ballwin and its citizens to approve the rezoning of this parcel from residential to commercial.”

Alderman McDowell said that he does not have any information or documentation of any acoustical findings being presented to the Board or the Planning & Zoning Commission. 

Alderman McDowell asked City Attorney Jones to explain the parameters and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan regarding this project.  City Attorney Jones said that the Planning & Zoning Commission adopted a Comprehensive Plan in accordance with Chapter 89.340 of the Missouri Statutes.  This requires the Commission to make and adopt a city plan for the physical development of the municipality.  The purpose is to guide the development and use of land within the city.  It is adopted by the Planning & Zoning Commission and does not bind the Board of Aldermen.  The 2007 Comprehensive Plan anticipates neighborhood commercial nodes, abutting residential and major intersections, although not specifically designating this particular intersection as one of those.  The Comprehensive Plan is one factor that the Board of Aldermen should consider in making decisions, but not the only thing.

Alderman McDowell said that he met with residents in the area and listened to their concerns.  He said he visited 10 Schnucks stores and the neighborhoods surrounding them.  His decision on this issue has no bearing on the financial aspect of what revenue will or will not be brought into the city.  His decision is based upon the rezoning issues only. 

Alderman Terbrock said that the Comprehensive Plan encourages commercial nodes at several locations and for mixed use applications.  This development fits within the criteria of the Comprehensive Plan for such use.  He said that the property at Kehrs Mill and Clarkson will not work for residential development because the costs are too high.  Schnucks said it is going to do specific roadway improvements to mitigate the traffic problems.  A residential developer would not be able to do this because of the cost.  He said he is in favor of this development.

Alderman Suozzi asked the Traffic Engineer about exiting the Clarkson Crossing Subdivision.  She asked for an overview of the length of the left turn lanes and where they end.  Julie Noflo, Senior Traffic Engineer with Crawford, Bunte, Brameier, said that there will be dual left turn lanes onto Kehrs Mill for southbound Clarkson Road traffic, and the amount of additional traffic added to Kehrs Mill in front of Stonebriar equals about 1 additional car per minute.  She said that MoDOT has agreed to allow a crosswalk on Clarkson Road at this intersection.  She said there will be adequate time for pedestrians to cross.  She said that right turning traffic will have to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk, as is common in most crosswalks. 

Alderman Schmer said that he received some e-mails regarding this rezoning petition that were threatening and inappropriate.  He said he had meetings with some of the residents in the area.  Part of city government is speaking about issues and voting, but asked that future communications be appropriate because lives and families are affected by such inappropriate dialog.

A motion was made by Alderman Terbrock and seconded by Alderman Boerner for a second reading of Bill No. 3574.  A voice vote was taken with a unanimous affirmative result and the motion passed.  Bill No. 3574 was read for the second time.

A roll call was taken for passage and approval of Bill No. 3574 with the following results: 
Ayes – Terbrock, Schmer, Leahy, McDowell, Fleming, Boerner, Suozzi, Mellow.    Nays – None.  Bill No. 3574 was approved and became Ordinance No. 09-17.

ALDERMANIC COMMENTS

Alderman McDowell said that recently he saw three dogs in Vlasis Park chasing geese.  He said he was impressed that the geese were scattering in all directions.  When he returned an hour later, the geese and goslings were back at the lake.  Alderman Suozzi said that the geese are unable to fly at this time because they are molting.  He said that there is still a goose problem in Vlasis Park.
