COMMITTEE REPORTS

Council Committee of the Whole

COU2015-27 Approve a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of Meadowbrook Park with Johnson County Park & Recreation District, Johnson County and VanTrust

Quinn Bennion stated the draft Memorandum of Understanding was discussed at the June 15 th Council Committee of the Whole meeting. At that time some amendments were made related to the City’s role in the park plan and use restrictions which have be added and received initial agreement by JCPRD staff and VanTrust.

The MOU outlines the general structure of the redevelopment and identifies the general responsibilities for each of the four entities. It is a good faith document that furthers the discussion and considerations of each of the entities involved in the redevelopment of the Meadowbrook property. The Sources and Uses document include a range of sources of revenue and proposed uses for the public funds. The estimates of the funding will be refined as part of the development agreement.

In summary, the City of Prairie Village agrees to pursue: 1) Drafting of a development agreement with Van Trust that further outlines the details of the commitments of both parties 2) Creating a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, district plan, project area and project plan 3) Issuing TIF bonds for identified public project uses (general obligation and special obligation) 4) Considering rezoning of the property to Mixed Used Development 5) Purchase the parkland property (approximately 88 acres) 6) Transfer the parkland property to JCPRD 7) Issue industrial revenue bonds (IRBs) with the sole purpose of providing a sales tax exemption for construction of the three largest components with the funds contributed to the public project 8) Consideration of implementing a transient guest tax, in part, to benefit the project

Mr. Bennion stated the next steps for the City include the drafting of the development agreement, establishing a TIF district & plan, and the planning / zoning process.

Terrence Gallagher asked if this was the time to continue dialogue on the 60/40 split. City Attorney Katie Logan responded that this is a concept that will be worked out in the preparation of the development agreement. Mr. Bennion stated the city representatives working on the development agreement include the City Attorney, City

Administrator, Mayor and Councilmen Odell and Runion.

David Morrison read the following letter from Councilman Dan Runion to the

Council for inclusion in the Minutes:

“To my fellow council members: I have asked my fellow Ward V Council Member David Morrison to read the following to you this evening and to submit a hard copy of it for inclusion in the meeting minutes. I believe it is too early to vote on the MOU. Our residents have been advised there will be no tax increases in connection with the park. There are at least three material terms absent from the MOU that could impact the city’s repayment obligations. The council cannot evaluate those obligations without knowledge of the definitive price of the parkland, the allocation between the principal amounts of the GO and SO bonds, respectively, and the SO bond interest rate. The council needs to be provided this information and a reasonable time period to evaluate how it would affect the city’s repayment obligations. While the draft MOU provides it is non-binding it would be inadvisable to agree to terms and then have to negotiate our way out of these terms. Doing so risks subjecting our taxpayers to increased taxes. It will be difficult to negotiate terms, including in the Development Agreement, that are more favorable for the city if the council agrees in the MOU to terms that are less favorable. Whatever the city agrees upon now will probably be the best it will ever get. I think it is better that we get this right the first time than to do it quickly.

Respectfully submitted this 6 th day of July 2015 Dan Runion Ward 5

David Morrison noted that he shared Mr. Runion’s concerns.

Quinn Bennion responded the purpose of the Memorandum of Understanding recognizes the magnitude of the project and the number of resources and time that will be required to bring the project to fruition and is written in conceptual terms with the knowledge that specific details will be addressed in the development agreement and through other mechanisms such as covenants.

Katie Logan added the Memorandum of Understanding is an opportunity to provide a general outline with the knowledge that additional issues and potential changes will be addressed through public hearings and public meetings, updated financial information and creation of a final development plan. It is necessary to have an outline workable document to follow in the development of the project and creation of a finalized development agreement. Staff strongly recommends the Council approve this document to allow the project to proceed.

Jori Nelson asked who would be representing the city. Mr. Bennion responded that the committee he identified earlier, along with input received from the Governing

Body in earlier executive sessions discussing this project.

Eric Mikkelson agreed it is a non-binding document but it creates a presumption making it more difficult to remove or change conditions. If there is something in the

MOU that Council does not like, it should not be in the MOU. He believes that if there has been any communication that this project will never result in a tax increase that needs to be rebutted. Although the risk is minimal, there is a chance that a tax increase may be necessary for bond repayment.

Mr. Mikkelson expressed concern with Section 12 of the MOU which references a

50/50 split on the bonds, although this does not reflect a 50/50 split on the value of the bonds as the GO bonds are financing 60% while the SO bonds are financing 40%.

However, he is inclined to approve the MOU as the intent is in reality the maximum purchase price for the parkland will be the appraised value with a possible discounting of the bonds. However, if the discount disappears he would like to reopen discussion on

Section 12.

Sheila Myers thanked staff for the informational meeting held on the financing of

5 this project. She noted that this is a non-binding agreement and a revenue split of 50/50 seems like a detail.

Katie Logan stated the MOU provides a guideline. The final decision will come after significant additional financial information becomes available and public hearings determine the final project plan.

Sheila Myers suggested that the website feature a “FAQ” section on the project to more clearly address questions raised. Mr. Bennion responded that Nolan Sunderman is working on this based on the discussion from the informational meeting.

Jori Nelson expressed agreement with Mr. Runion. She noted there are too many unknown moving parts, including the sale price of the park, the interest rates and the division of the TIF bonds. Although this is non-binding, she does not support it and feels that it is not the “best the city can do”.

Mayor Wassmer restated it is the development agreement where negotiations take place, not the Memorandum of Understanding. She noted that representatives of

VanTrust are present and hearing the Council’s concerns. She urged the Council to approve the MOU and get this project moving.

Ted Odell moved the City Council approve a Memorandum of Understanding

(MOU) with Van Trust Real Estate, Johnson County Park & Recreation District and

Johnson County Wastewater for the redevelopment of the Meadowbrook property. The motion was seconded by Ruth Hopkins and passed unanimously.

COU2015-28 Consider approval of Communications Remodel Project Bids

On behalf of the Council Committee of the Whole, Council President Brooke

Morehead moved the City Council approve the bid from Xybix Systems in the amount of

$30,194.19 and from Commenco for $14,300.00 with a total project cost not to exceed

$50,000.00. The motion was seconded by Terrence Gallagher and passed unanimously.

COU2015-29 Consider Construction Contract for the 2015 Parks Projects

On behalf of the Council Committee of the Whole, Council President Brooke

Morehead moved the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the construction contract with PRIMETIME Contracting Corporation for the 2015 Parks Projects in the amount of

$205,200. The motion was seconded by Andrew Wang and passed unanimously.

Consider Final Plat for Briarwood Elementary

RECOMMENDATION AAAuthorizeAuthorize the Mayor to execute the Final Plat for Briarwood Elementary for acceptance of rightsrights----ofofofof----wayway and easements sususubject su bject to the conditions of approval required by the Planning Commission.

BACKGROUND On July 7, 2015, in conjunction with the Site Plan Approval for the new Briarwood Elementary School at 5300 West 86 th Street the preliminary and final plats for Briarwood Elementary were presented to the Planning Commission. This area, which is currently unplatted, is required to be platted as a condition of approval for the proposed site plan.

They handle internal drainage on the site. All easements identified in the Title Report are shown on the Preliminary Plat.

The Final Plat contains essentially all the information required. The name of the Chairman of the Planning Commission will need to be changed to Nancy Wallerstein.

The Planning Commission moved to approve the Preliminary and Final Plats of Briarwood Elementary School subject to the following conditions: 1. That the name of the Chairman of the Planning Commission be changed to Nancy Wallerstein. 2. That the Final Plat as approved be revised and three (3) copies submitted to the City for their records. 3. That the applicant submits the Final Plat to the Johnson County surveyor for review.

They handle internal drainage on the site. All easements identified in the Title Report are shown on the Preliminary Plat. Staff has no other comments on the Preliminary Plat. FINAL PLAT The Final Plat contains essentially all the information required. The name of the Chairman of the Planning Commission will need to be changed to Nancy Wallerstein.

BZA201BZA2015555----02020202 Request for a Variance from P.V.M.C. 19.19.08.03608.036 “Lot Coverage” to increase the lot coverage from 30% to 33.2% 6737 Granada Lane

Bill Prelogar, with NSJP Architects, introduced his client Whitney Wilson, 4905 Mohawk, who stated she was excited to be the third generation of her family to live in the proposed home. She has worked with two different architects in the design of the home and was told by the first that the proposed porch was within code. They have notified all of the neighbors of their plans. Bill Prelogar, with NSPJ Architects, discovered the earlier interpretation was incorrect and that a variance would be needed. The proposed unenclosed porch extends over one bay of the garage to make the front of the home more inviting covering approximately 50 square feet. Ms. Wilson noted that her lot is one of the smallest in the city.

Bill Wilson, 4905 Mohawk Drive, stated they are looking forward to returning to the neighborhood where they have friends in a well designed new home.

Ron Williamson stated the applicant is proposing to tear down the existing house and build a new house on the lot. The existing footprint of the house and detached garage is 2,061 square feet and the footprint of the proposed house and garage is 2,247 square feet. The proposed house has a two-car attached garage while the existing house has a one-car detached garage. The lot is 7,577 square feet according to AIMS maps so the existing lot coverage is 27.2% and the proposed house is 29.7%. However, the applicant is proposing a covered front porch of approximately 245 square feet which increased the lot coverage to 2,492 square feet or 32.9%.

Based on the lot area of 7,577 square feet, 30% lot coverage is 2,273 square feet. If the first four feet of the porch was counted as a projecting eave, the porch would add 92 square feet, for a total of 2,339 square feet and lot coverage of 30.9%.

Bill Prelogar presented the following summary of the applicant’s response to the five criteria required for a variance:

Uniqueness ––– The applicant views the size of the lot, one of the smallest lots in Prairie Village, as a unique condition that impacts their ability to construct a new home within the established code. He noted the proposed home’s footprint, minus the garage, is 1,690 s.f., not much larger than the home’s original footprint of 1,620 s.f. He noted the proposed covered porch is only eight feet deep and is truly only 150 GSF over the allowed coverage if you include the allowed 4-foot overhand allowed by ordinance.

Adjacent Property ––– Granting the variance will enhance the architectural character of the home adding depth to the elevation and more firmly aligning the home to others in the neighborhood.

Hardship ––– A home with diminished architectural appeal and with amenities not consistent with what is being offered in the market will place the owner at a disadvantage to other new homes being built in the area if the owner chooses to sell the property in the future.

Public Interest ––– The requested variance will not adversely affect the public health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity or general welfare as the proposed variance lies within the site boundaries and are within all other zoning requirements.

Intent ––– The intent and spirit of the code is to curtail overbuilding of lots and to create a uniform streetscape of home sizes. The proposed home’s footprint is only slightly larger than the original home. The new home is only 3 feet wider than the original home and the massing of a second floor is set to the back of the home to project a similarly proportioned mass to the adjacent homes. The new home will better center on the lot and provide uniform space between the existing adjacent homes. The proposed front porch will add historic architectural character to the home and marry the home’s stylings to the fabric of the current neighborhood.

Larry Levy asked if the porch was on the front building line. Mr. Prelogar responded that most of the porch is behind the front building line with only 3.5 feet extending over.

Bob Lindeblad noted a plot plan was not submitted for the Board to see the relationship with adjacent properties. The applicant distributed a plot plan for review by the Board.

Nancy Vennard questioned the differences in the lot calculations. Mr. Williamson replied he used the AIMS dimensions on the lot and confirmed that the footprint exceeded the maximum lot coverage by only .9% since the four foot overhang was allowed.

Randy Kronblad opened the public hearing on the application.

Steve Rosen, 3900 West 63 rd Terrace, spoke on behalf of his daughter whose home was directly south of the applicant’s home. He asked how close to the property line the proposed home will set. He was advised that that the proposed home sets within the required setbacks by code.

With no one else to address the Board, the public hearing was closed at 6:55 p.m.

Jim Breneman arrived at the meeting, but abstained from discussion and voting as he had not heard the applicant’s presentation.

Larry Levy stated the new home will enhance the neighborhood and felt the some deviation from code for lot coverage should be granted.

Bob Lindeblad noted he can see both sides of the request noting it is not black and white. The variance is being requested for lot coverage which is impacted by the size of the lot.

Nancy Vennard stated she was torn noting the porch is a good design feature and the city is trying to keep young people in the city by allowing homes with the features and amenities desired; however, she is not certain that this cannot be done within the guidelines of the code with some minor reductions in size.

Larry Levy confirmed that the garage is in compliance and that only the porch area is in violation.

Bob Lindeblad noted that the only way to deal with lot coverage is through the variance process, which is difficult. He encouraged the Board/Commission to review in the future adopting an alternative way to address these issues as has been done with other deviations of code. The city will continue to have more and more rebuilds and he feels in the long term alternative means to address deviations would be desirable.

Ron Williamson noted that in some instances the code has been revised to allow for approval by site plan rather that the variance process.

Randy Kronblad led the Board in consideration of the following five criteria for approval:

A.A.A. Uniqueness That the variance requested arises from such condition which is unique to the property in question and which is not ordinarily found in the same zone or district; and is not created by an action or actions of the property owner or the applicant. In order for the property to meet the condition of uniqueness, it must have some pepepeculiarpe culiar physical surroundings, shape, or topographictopographicalal condition that would result in a practical difficulty as distinguished from a mere inconvenience to utilize the property without granting the variance. The lot area is 7,577 square feet which is one of the smaller lots in this area, but not the smallest. Lots in this area range in size from 7,351 square feet to 9,964 square feet. The minimum lot size in the R-1B District is 6,000 square feet. The lot is relatively flat and has no topographic features that are particularly unique. The lot also is rectangular in shape which is similar to other lots in the area.

Bob Lindeblad noted that the size of the lot greatly impacts the lot coverage requirements and felt that the small size of this lot meets the criteria for uniqueness and moved the Board find favorably on Criteria A “Uniqueness”. The motion was seconded by Gregory Wolf and passed by a vote of 5 to 1 with Nancy Vennard voting in opposition.

B.B.B. Adjacent Property That the granting of the permit for the vvarianceariance wouldwould not adversely affect the rights of adjacent property owners or residents. The proposed porch that will cause the increase in lot coverage is located on the front of the house and will not adversely affect the adjacent properties. A new house was recently constructed on the lot adjacent to the north and it met the lot coverage requirements, but it is a much larger lot.

Gregory Wolf moved the Board find favorably on Criteria B “Adjacent Property”. The motion was seconded Bob Lindeblad and passed by a vote of 6 to 0.

C.C.C. Hardship That the strict application of the provisions of these regulations from which a variance is requested will constitute an unnecessary hardship upon the property owner represented in the application. The proposed front porch is primarily a design feature, but it does add aesthetic value to the front elevation of the house. This is a new house and the opportunity exists to design an aesthetic feature that accomplishes the same affect, but stays within the 30% lot coverage requirement. Larry Levy noted the porch extends over one bay of the garage breaking up the two garage appearance.

Larry Levy moved the Board find favorably on Criteria C “Hardship”. The motion was seconded by Gregory Wolf and passed by a vote of 6 to 0.

D.D.D. Public Interest That the variance desired will not adversely affect the public health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, or general welfare. The proposed variance would not adversely affect the public health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, or general welfare.

Bob Lindeblad moved the Board find favorably on Criteria D “Public Interest”. The motion was seconded by Larry Levy and passed by a vote of 6 to 0.

E.E.E. Spirit and Intent of the Regulation That the granting of the variance desired would not be opposed to the gegeneralneral spirit and intent of these regulations. The purpose and intent of the regulation is to provide open space in residential neighborhoods and prevent over building. The initial lot coverage requirement was 25%, however, it was amended to 30% a short time later and has worked successfully since that time. The proposed lot coverage increase of .9% for a porch is not significant and in opposition to the spirit and intent of the regulation.

Larry Levy moved the Board find favorably on Criteria E “Spirit and Intent of the Regulation”. The motion was seconded by Gregory Wolf and passed by a vote of 6 to 0.

Bob Lindeblad moved that since the Board found favorably on all five criteria as required by State Statutes, BZA2015-02 granting the requested variance be approved subject to the following condition: 1 That the proposed lot coverage be approved for 2,492 square feet as shown on the plans submitted with the application. The motion was seconded by Gregory Wolf and passed by a vote of 6 to 0.

OOOTHEROTHER BUSINESS The Board Secretary stated a new application had been filed and the Board would meet on June 2nd.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

PC201PC2015555----00006666 Request for Rezoning from CC----00 & RR----1b1b to CPCP----11 (Planned Restricted Business District and approval of Development Plan

7930 State Line Road

PC201PC2015555----07070707 Request for Conditional Use Permit for DriveDrive----ThruThru Service Window 7930 StatStatee Line Road

Chairman Wallerstein opened the public hearing and asked the applicants to present their proposal. Mitch DiCarlo, Development Coordinator for Block and Co., and Jeff Bartz, BHC Rhodes, were present to represent Slim Chickens.

The applicant is proposing to rezone this property from R-1B Single-Family Residential and C-0 Office Building to CP-1 Planned Restricted Business District. This property is located south of the Panda Express which was rezoned to CP-1 in 2007. The parcel has 100 feet of frontage on State Line Road and has a depth of 651 feet along the south property line. The parcel has an irregular boundary and contains approximately 1.37 acres. The site is occupied by an office building that was built in 1968 and the applicant proposes to demolish that building and construct a fast food restaurant called Slim Chickens. The proposed restaurant will have a drive-thru window and a Conditional Use Permit has been requested along with this application. Both applications are on the Agenda and need to be considered together but will require separate action.

This area has become a fast food corridor with McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Culver’s on the east side of State Line Road in Kansas City and Lattéland and Panda Express on the west side of State Line Road in Prairie Village.

The property consists of several lots or portions of lots and needs to be platted.

The applicant proposed to construct a 3,564 sq. ft. building that will be setback approximately 80 feet from the front property line. The required front yard setback in the C-1 District is 15 feet. The restaurant will have a seating capacity of 122 which will require 49 parking spaces. Both driveways on State Line Road will be retained. The north drive will have an entrance while the south drive will be a two-lane exit.

The applicant held a meeting for the neighborhood property owners on May 28, 2015 and a summary was submitted by separate attachment.

This is a request for a Planned Business District and the Planning Commission will need to recommend approval of the rezoning and a Preliminary Development Plan to the Governing Body. After approval of the rezoning and Preliminary Plan by the Governing Body, a Final Development Plan will need to be submitted for approval by the Planning Commission.

Mitch DiCarlo stated that the existing building is an outdated office building that is no longer leasable. Jeff Bartz presented an overview of the existing site and the proposed site. He stated that the building is significantly smaller with a patio and additional grass to be added. The building is designed to maintain traffic flow on the site rather than State Line Road. The proposed landscaping includes a 6 foot wood privacy fence and additional landscaped buffer to limit noise and light.

James Breneman stated that the proposed plans to do not indicate the raised sidewalks.

Greg Wolf asked about the residents’ response to the landscaping and screening plan. Bartz responded that while he can’t speak for the residents, they heard many opinions; some in favor and some in opposition.

Patrick Lenahan asked if there was discussion regarding the placement of the trash enclosure on the site. Bartz responded that there was not.

Nancy Wallerstein asked if there would be alcohol sold on the site. DiCarlo responded that he was not aware of intent to sell alcohol.

Wallerstein asked about the left and right turn at the exit of the property and if a traffic study had been conducted. Ron Williamson stated that Panda Express has a similar setup and no traffic study had been conducted. There is an existing left and right turn to exit the existing building.

Jeffery Valentino asked what the landscape screen look like in the interim before trees matured. Bartz responded that many of the trees would be planted at close to full size, and smaller shrubs and bushes would provide a full barrier. Additionally, the existing tree line will be maintained. Nancy Wallerstein noted that the plan presented via the PowerPoint by Bartz was different than the one included in the packet, and shows significantly less landscaping. Ron Williamson stated that he approved the plan included in the original reviewed submission.

Nancy Wallerstein called for public comment.

David Wooldridge, 2115 Somerset Drive, stated that he is a design engineer and very familiar with mixed use development. He stated he was not notified about the public hearing by registered mail as required. He commented on the noise levels from Panda Express including drive through orders, hip hop music, and bad language. He stated that when he purchased the property, there were two quiet office buildings. Panda Express created a circus. He stated that residents were promised an 8 foot fence, but the majority of the fencing installed ended up being only four feet. He is afraid the lights on the property will cause extreme brightness. He shared his concerns related to security issues such as car burglaries and theft. He doesn’t believe a 6 foot fence would properly shield his property. Residents haven't been able to get a straight story on the hours of operation and he stated that employees at Panda Express stay beyond the posted hours, either cleaning or just hanging out, and lights remain on for security purposes. He would not have purchased his home if he knew he would be living behind two fast food restaurants.

Jeff Bartz has a certified receipt stating notification was sent. Mr. Woolrdige stated that they were not notified, however they were able to attend the public hearing after being informed by a neighbor. However, he stated he did not have significant time to prepare.

Nancy Wallerstein stated that the Planning Commission was told that the hours would be similar to the Independence Slim Chickens location: 10:30 a.m. - 10 p.m.

Paul Flose, owner of Culvers at 7359 State Line Road, stated that the additional fast food restaurants located in the area have actually helped his business. However, he has concerns with the traffic on State Line Road. It is becoming increasingly difficult for his patrons to leave parking lot. He wondered if a traffic study had been completed.

Harlan Birkhead, 7909 Sagamore, Leawood KS, stated that he hoped an independent traffic study would be completed. It is getting increasingly dangerous on that road and a legitimate public safety concern. It does not enhance his property or the enjoyment of his property. He asked for additionally landscaping shielding the south side of the property. The current office building shields their yard and deck from Panda Express, and when it is demolished, they believe more noise and light will come in.

Carly Bailey, 2021 Somerset Drive, stated that 25% of her property line abuts the existing building. She reiterated the comments stating that the Panda Express fence was not what they were promised. The fence is flimsy at best, only 3.5 feet tall with enough room to crawl underneath. She stated her belief that there is a security issue for women and elderly in this community as people can drive to the fence line and look into the yards and homes. She stated the home has been in her family since 1957 and Prairie Village has generated taxes from them for over 50 years. However, she stated that property values have plummeted due to the changes in the area.

Ms. Bailey shared several complaints about Panda Express. The noise pollution has been unbelievable. The dumpsters are right by their window and the trash truck is unbelievably loud. The lights are on like a stadium all night and shine right in the windows, regardless of the hours. Employees are loud and keep all hours. The smell is overwhelming. Adding a new restaurant multiplies those issues.

She stated that the residents shared concerns and the response received from the applicant was dismissive at best. She stated that Mr. Bartz was falsely representing the opinions of the residents when asked earlier in the meeting.

Bill Randall, 2123 Somerset, stated that the drive thru seems significantly larger than Panda Express, and because it goes into the West portion of the property, it increases issues for residents. He would like to see the drive thru closer to State Line with more green space. He wondered if a left turn signal could be added at Somerset and State Line.

Stephanie McEntire, 2107 Somerset, stated that the proposed landscaping and trees are a great idea in theory; however due to the utility lines, existing trees are constantly getting trimmed back and mutilated.

Carolyn Bailey, 2021 Somerset Drive, stated that while noise and security are a major concern, it is not restaurant patrons that cause the issues. She believes people are living in their cars in the parking lots. She has issue with the lack of night security. She 4 stated that there is a water and drainage problem in the area and the grates that let the water through do not accommodate heavy rains. The electrical lines don't accommodate all the homes and the area has frequent outages. The neighborhood cannot accommodate another restaurant. Residents need help, not another problem.

Nancy Wallerstein closed the public hearing and asked the representatives of Slim Chickens to respond.

Mitch DiCarlo responded to the comments related to the noise. He pointed out that the ordering takes place close to the building, with sound traveling south which will alleviate the problem. He is disappointed that residents think they were being mislead which was not the intent. He wants to work with the adjacent homeowners to allow the least amount of disruption to the property and will address those issues in the interim.

Jeff Bartz stated that additional screening along the south side will help with concerns and additional screening along the north edge will be included in the final development plan. They will work to improve the site lighting there, which will be shown in the final development plan. The drainage on south side will reuse the inlet and retain existing flow plan. There is actually a decrease in impervious runoff area.

Greg Wolf asked for a response to traffic study inquiries. Jeff Bartz stated that one was not required. Mr. Wolf asked if they were willing to conduct a traffic study. Mitch stated he didn’t know what the protocol is in the City was but they are willing to work with the planning commission to alleviate the concerns. Ron Williamson stated that a traffic study is performed by a consultant with a review by Public Works. Mr. DiCarlo stated that they would be willing to conduct a traffic study.

James Breneman asked how the grading plan related to the elevation in the existing homes. Mr. Bartz stated that they trying to maintain existing elevations. The homes are elevated above the property.

Jeff Bartz stated that the privacy fence will be placed 5 feet in front of the property line. James Breneman asked if they would consider a taller fence in response to the privacy concerns. Ron Williamson stated the Planning Commission can require a higher fence. Mr. DiCarlo stated that it should not be an issue and they will reflect that on the final plan for approval.

Patrick Lenahan asked if the drive thru is integral to the Slim Chicken facility? Mr. DiCarlo said that yes, it is part of each facility.

Nancy Wallerstein summarized that the major issues include drainage, traffic, screening, lighting, noise, and smell. She stated that a restaurant planned in Leawood (Slab and Pickle at 95th and Mission) used a "smell buffer" of sorts so the cooking odors did not emit into the neighborhood. Mr. DiCarlo stated that there are many types of filtration systems that can be used, however haven't delved into that at this point in the process but can look into it. Nancy Wallerstein encouraged him to investigate that.

Ron Williamson stated that Public Works will review the site drainage when it is submitted for a permit review. He reiterated that the new plan has 13,000 square feet less impervious material and will help with drainage.

Nancy Wallerstein stated that the face of State Line on both sides of the road has changed drastically over the years and this development will surely add to the traffic in the area with a lot of movement in and out of the parking lots. While the entry and exits will be the same physical location there will be more cars due to the nature of a fast food establishment. Randy Kronblad and Jeffery Valentino shared that concern.

Nancy Wallerstein encouraged more mature shrubbery on the landscape plan. Ron Williamson stated he would like to see a revised landscape plan.

Nancy Wallerstein stated a desire to see innovative ways for the property to be lit.

Wes Jordan stated that noise is governed by an ordinance. He encouraged residents to call the police department on all of those issues they shared related to safety and noise. It is important that residents report issues so the city has a record of the complaints.

Ron Williamson suggested moving trash bins to the south side of the property.

Ron Williamson stated the lighting ordinance includes zero foot candles at property lines. At the time they get a permit, Slim Chickens will be required to submit a lighting plan. He stated that the City will look at the lighting plan at Panda Express as well as the fence

Nancy Wallerstein asked if the committee had additional comments before going through the golden factors.

Patrick Lenahan stated that many issues discussed at the meeting are inherently baked into the layout of the site, not the use of the property. He would like to see the issues mitigated before giving approval.

Greg Wolf asked if they would have time to clarify issues prior to the July meeting. Ron Williamson stated he believed they could hopefully respond to most of the issues; however the traffic study may be difficult.

Randy Kronblad stated that the enough significant issues were raised that he can’t support the rezoning at this time.

Randy Kronblad moved to continue PC2015-06, Request for Rezoning from C-0 & R-1b to CP-1 (Planned Restricted Business District and approval of Development Plan at 7930 State Line Road, to the July 7, 2015 Planning Commission meeting and Jeffery Valentino seconded the motion.

James Breneman would like to see them relocate trash bins in addition to addressing the previously discussed issues. The motion passed unanimously.

James Breneman moved to continue PC2015-07, Request for Conditional Use Permit for Drive-Thru Service Window at 7930 State Line Road to the July 7, 2015 Planning Commission meeting. Patrick Lenahan seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Nancy Wallerstein asked Jeff Bartz to forward receipt of certified mail to Mr. Woolridge.

OTHER BUSINESS Ron Williamson shared a revised site plan for Westlake Ace Hardware at 4049 Somerset. They have revised their parking lot storage area to the East Side of the lot instead of the West as originally indicated. They are not using any additional space. The change was made to improve parking. Greg Wolf moved to approve the revised site plan. Randy Kronblad seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Next Meeting The filing deadline for the July meeting is Friday, June 5 th . Two BZA applications are anticipated to be filed. Site Plan approval for Briarwood Elementary School is expected. The Monument Sign for Homestead Estates is also anticipated.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE July 66,,,, 2012015555

The Council Committee of the Whole met on Monday, July 6, 2015 at 6:15 p.m. in the Council Chambers. The meeting was called to order by Council President Brooke Morehead with the following members present: Mayor Laura Wassmer, Ashley Weaver, Jori Nelson, Ruth Hopkins, Steve Noll, Eric Mikkelson, Andrew Wang, Sheila Myers, Brooke Morehead, David Morrison, Ted Odell and Terrence Gallagher. Staff Members present: Tim Schwartzkopf, Chief of Police; Sgt. Myron Ward; Keith Bredehoeft, Public Works Director; Melissa Prenger, PW Project Manager; Katie Logan, City Attorney; Quinn Bennion, City Administrator; Wes Jordan, Assistant City Administrator; Nolan Sunderman, Assistant to the City Administrator; Lisa Santa Maria, Finance Director and Joyce Hagen Mundy, City Clerk. Also present was Jeff White with Columbia Capital, the city’s financial advisor.

Code Enforcement Protocols Wes Jordan presented a power point presentation of common code violations as an introduction to discussion of proposed protocols for the enforcement of code violations. He introduced code enforcement officers Marcia Gradinger who covers the area north of 75 th Street and Derek Wright who covers the area south of 75 th Street. With the wet spring this year the city has received several complaints on unmowed grass. Failure to screen trash containers is the most common violation seen throughout the city. The city’s code requires that trash containers located in side yards be screened on both sides so that the containers are not visible to the public from the street or sidewalk. A concerning violation is the rapid spreading of bamboo plants.

Mr. Jordan thanked for the Council for its support of an additional code enforcement officer to address these issues and stated that, now with multiple staff, the department was looking at consistent enforcement of violations and was seeking Council support for the proposed protocols. He noted that addressing the issues through the municipal court is a due process that often only extends the length of time the violation is occurring. He would prefer to address the violation outside of a court appearance.

The following proposed enforcement actions were presented and discussed: • Chipped/Peeling Paint - 30 > 60 > 90 days (It was noted that fall violations would be required to take action by May 1sat) • Roof Replacement - 30 > 60 > 90 days • Rotted Wood – 30 days • Driveway Replacement 0 30 > 60 > 90 days • Guttering – 45 days • Drainage Issues – 48 hours to 30 days • Shed in Disrepair – 30 days • Fence Repairs/Replacement – 30 > 60 days

Mr. Jordan noted that many of these repairs are weather dependent and that the staff is flexible with these protocols as long as progress is being shown.

Eric Mikkelson questioned the drainage of sump pumps unto neighboring properties. Marcia Gradinger replied to code addresses drainage from down spouts and gutters; however, added the sump pump issues can be addressed under the public nuisance section of the International Property Maintenance Code adopted by the City.

Wes Jordan stated the most prevalent violation throughout the city is the display of unscreened trash containers. He noted that the City of Merriam tried to address this issue by prohibiting outside storage of trash containers, but reversed their action due to resident response.

The city’s code is as follows: 151515-15 ---320.320. RESIDENTIAL CONTAINERS; STORAGE . Residential solid waste containers shall be stored upon the residential premises. Commercial solid waste containers shall be stored upon private property, unless the owner shall have been granted written permission from the city to use public property for such purposes. The storage sites shall be well drained, fully accessible to collection equipment, public health personnel and fire inspection personnel. All storage areas shall be screened or otherwise located so as to not be in the view of persons using public streets or walkways. (Code 1973, 7.24.210)

Trash containers can be stored at the rear of the house.

Ashley Weaver asked about trash cans being placed in the street. Mr. Jordan responded that is a violation but not a major issue in the city.

Ted Odell noted he has seen areas where this is a problem and feels that it needs to be addressed, but feels there are higher priority violations in the city.

Jori Nelson asked how other area cities handle this. Mr. Jordan responded he did not research other cities. Mayor Wassmer stated the City of Fairway requires screening.

Mr. Jordan feels the maximum compliance period would be 90 days. Terrence Gallagher stated he felt 30 to 60 days would be sufficient time for compliance. The Council discussed partial screening from the front only vs. screening from the side and front with a mixed response from Council members. Some felt screening on one side was sufficient, but preferred screening on both. Others felt that to be in compliance with the code screening on both sides was necessary. It was noted that trash containers could be stored at the rear of the house without screening or placed in the garage.

Sheila Myers felt that in the spectrum of property maintenance this is not a safety or health hazard and asked if violations could be classified as to level of seriousness. Mr. Jordan replied that this is a very subjective issue.

Terrance Gallagher moved the Council support the existing code and require enforcement within 30 > 60 days. The existing code requires the containers to be placed behind the front building line and screened on two sides.

The remaining proposed protocol were accepted by the City Council as follows: • Trash & Debris – 48 hours – 7 days • Grass/Weeds/Overgrown Thickets o Vacant – 10 days from publication o Owner Occupied – 5 days from receipt of notice • Ground Cover – 30 days during Spring (Apr/May) and Fall (Sept/Oct) growing season • Dead Tree(s) – 30 days • Outside Storage – 48 hours – 7 days • Screening RV’s, Boats, Trailers – 30 days • Truck Parking (Driveways) – 48 hours • Animal Sanitation – 48 hours • Inoperable Vehicle(s) o Repairing a vehicle in driveway – 48 hours o Unlicensed and/or not operable – 7 days

COU2015COU2015----2828 Consider approval of communications remodel prprojectoject bids Chief Schwartzkopf noted that the police building is 19 years old and the Communications Center has the original consoles and configuration. Four vendors were contacted from the MARC Cooperative Bid list with the following three proposals submitted: Xybix $30,194.19 Evans $35,116.00 Watson $41,120.00

Xybix has done work locally at Johnson County, Overland Park, Liberty and Leavenworth. The conceptual design submitted was reviewed and approved by the Communications Staff and includes movable desks and all the monitors located in one area. Commenco is the current vendor approved by MARC for work on 911 equipment.

$30,000 was approved in the 2015 budget with $20,000 encumbered from the 2014 budget for this project.

Terrence Gallagher made the following motion, which was seconded by Sheila Myers and passed unanimously:

RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE BID FROM XYBIX SYSTEMS IN THE AMOUNT OF $30,194.19 AND FROM COMMENCO FOR $14,300.00 WITH A PROJECT COST NOT TO EXCEED $50,000.00 COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN 07/06/2015

COU2015COU2015----2929 Consider Construction Contract for 2015 PParksarks Projects Melissa Prenger stated the 2015 Park Improvements include work in Taliaferro and Bennett Parks. T Taliaferro Park will have a new nature play and sand area added between the existing play area and existing shelter. There will also be practice field improvements along with a new surface and backstop for the t-ball field. Bennett Park will have a new nature play area with play mounds and a walking path and a tricycle path.

On July 24, 2014, the City Clerk opened bids for the project. Three acceptable bids were received. The base bids were: Primetime Contracting $191,898.50 Corp. Gunter Construction Co. $252,510.10 Cobra Construction LLC $230,000.00 Landscape Architects $204,949.60 Estimate

The Landscape Architect has reviewed all bids and has recommended award of the low bid with the provision that the contract will be awarded for $205,200. This award amount is based on the budget established for the 2015 Parks Projects and includes bid alternates such as the backstop for the t-ball field at Taliaferro and the trike path at Bennett.

Ms Prenger noted that Primetime Contracting is a new contractor to the City. The owner has 15 years experience in construction and previous experience working with two other construction firms. Staff has checked his references and Mr. Lyell was available for questions.

Sheila Myers asked why his bid was significantly lower than the other bids received. Mr. Lyell responded that he has several years experience in estimating costs and as a new company is seeking new contracts rather than a higher profit margin.

Ted Odell noted the bid amount is lower than the contract amount. Melissa Prenger replied that the bid included several alternates in addition to the base bid and since the base bid is lower than the budgeted amount two of those alternates have been added to the project. The funding is available in the CIP in the 2015 Parks Projects.

Eric Mikkelson made the following motion which was seconded by Ashley Weaver and passed unanimously:

MOVE THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH PRIMETIME CONTRACTING CORPORATION FOR THE 2015 PARKS PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $205,200. COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN 07/06/2015

2016 Budget Consideration ––– Employee Benefit Substitute The City currently provides a basic long-term care (LTC) benefit for full-time employees at an employer cost of $5,760 per year. All full-time employees are enrolled and have the option of upgrading the benefit at their expense. After employment with the City, when the actual benefit is likely realized, the employee must continue to pay the LTC benefit to maintain coverage. Very few employees continue the benefit after employment.

Starting in September 2015, the cost for LTC renewal will increase by 53.3%, with the City’s participation costing an additional $3,070 per year. The increase in cost and level of use of the LTC benefit resulted in staff exploring an alternate benefit option.

Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. City officials, particularly elected officials, have personal information readily available to the public. Staff recommends exchange of the LTC benefit for the LifeLock Standard package. In discussions with department heads, the Lifelock benefit was felt to be a utilized and appreciated benefit.

The cost for a LifeLock standard package is $8.49 per month per employee. This is a discount for employer based coverage versus the open market. It is proposed that a full-time staff member have the option of subscribing to Lifelock Basic protection by paying $3.49 per month through a payroll deduction and the City subsidizing $5 per month. Employees would have the option to upgrade the package or add family members at their own expense.

With the proposed substitution, the City will pay the full monthly cost for Council members at the Standard level with the option of upgrading at their own expense. Staff estimates a 60% employee participation rate with a total for the City’s cost of $5,000 per year.

If approved by the Committee of the Whole, staff will approve and implement the modified benefit. The 2016 budget already includes the cost of the LTC benefit at the current rate. The Lifelock benefit would begin in January 2016.

Sheila Myers asked if this program had been requested by employees. Mr. Bennion replied it had not been specifically requested to his knowledge. Employees have been notified of the proposed program which has been discussed by department heads and has their support. Mr. Bennion noted that other company programs were investigated by CBIZ for the City. It is estimated that 50 to 60 percent of the employees will participate in the program.

David Morrison made the following motion, which was seconded by Ashley Weaver and passed by a vote of 10 to 2:

RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE SUBSUB---- STITUTION OF LIFELOCK ID PROTECTION FOR THE EMPLOYEE LONG TERM CARE BENEFIT

Council President Brooke Morehead recessed the Council Committee of the Whole meeting at 7:28 p.m. until the conclusion of the regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

Council President Brooke Morehead reconvened the Council Committee of the Whole meeting at 8:10 p.m.

Review presentation of recommended Capital Improvement Plan budget

Additional discussion on the Delmar/Fontana Project--- Keith Bredehoeft reviewed the long history of this project. The neighborhood has been engaged and the project has been part of the CIP for the last couple of years. The study authorized last year is nearing completion and further discussions with residents and council will take place in 2015. Two possible outcomes are to move forward and construct a major project or to just install a low water crossing warning system. Mr. Bredehoeft noted that if it is determined to not construct a major project then the funds for this project will go into the Drainage Repair Program. The drainage funds for this project are generated by the Stormwater Utility Fee and can only be used for drainage purposes.

Jori Nelson asked how the cost estimates were determined. Mr. Bredehoeft responded they are based on the past project design and estimate.

David Morrison provided additional background on the history of the project and expressed his support of moving forward.

Terrence Gallagher asked for clarification on the $1,020,000 project cost stated by Mr. Bredehoeft and the $1,120,000 listed in the CIP budget.

The total cost for this project is $1,020,000 which includes $440,000 in the current 2015 budget and an additional $580,000 in the proposed 2016 CIP Budget. This project is only part of the 2016 CIP for storm drainage. The proposed 2016 CIP also includes $150,000 for a possible warning system and $390,000 for the drainage repair program for a total of $1,120,000 in the 2016 CIP Drainage budget.

Quinn Bennion added the CIP looks ahead four years on how funds will be spent, but the Council is only taking action on the proposed budget year. The budget includes both options as the actual action taken will be based on input from the residents, the engineering study and SMAC funding.

Jori Nelson stated she felt this was a higher priority for funding that the repair of the skate park.

Ruth Hopkins stated the proposed plan was a good plan but the city was not able to move forward with it due to lack of funding without a tax increase and she is not supportive of a tax increase to do it now.

David Morrison stated this is a safety hazard and it is time the City moved forward. The funds are now budgeted and it will not require a tax increase. Quinn Bennion confirmed everything recommended in the proposed 2016 budget can be done without a tax increase.

Eric Mikkelson confirmed the action being taken is for the allocation of funds, with the actual action to be taken to be determined after review of the engineering study and input from the public.

Jori Nelson asked when the city would know about the availability of SMAC funds and how much SMAC would cover. Mr. Bredehoeft responded the application is due in December and usually evaluation within six to eight weeks and SMAC would cover 75% of construction.

Brooke Morehead asked when the engineering study would be completed. Mr. Bredehoeft replied it would be available in October.

Jori Nelson moved the City Council approved the proposed CIP budget for storm drainage as presented. The motion was seconded by David Morrison and passed.

EXECUTIVE SESSISESSIONONONON

Ashley Weaver moved pursuant to KSA 75-4319 (b) (13) (c) that the Governing Body, recess into Executive Session in the Multi-Purpose Room for a period not to exceed 15 minutes for the purpose of discussing matters relating to the security measures of a public body or agency, public building or facility or the information systems of a public body or agency. Present will be the Mayor, City Council, City Administrator, City Attorney, Assistant City Administrator, Chief of Police and Public Works Director. The motion was seconded by Jori Nelson and passed unanimously.

Brooke Morehead reconvened the Council Committee of the Whole meeting at 8:55 p.m.

Additional Funding for the Paving ProgramProgram---- Public Works has made two presentations about the need to increase funding for the Paving Program and has outlined a strategy to increase yearly funding for the Paving Program to approximately $3M by the year 2022. The strategy included a possible mill increase in 2016 generating $500,000 along with an additional $500,000 in 2022 when current street bond payments are competed. Given the feedback during the June 15, 2015 meeting it was clear that increasing the mill levy in 2016 was not supported by a majority of the Council.

Mr. Bredehoeft noted that over the next five years the removal of the additional $500,000 would result in $2.5M of street work not completed. Mayor Wassmer plans to establish a Task Force further studying this issue prior to the 2017 CIP discussions. Persons interested in serving should contact the Mayor.

Additional details on the City Hall and PD Entrance ProjectProject---- In 2009 a consultant selection process was started for the City Hall and PD entrance project. Interviews were conducted and Hollis and Miller Architects were selected for the project. No contract was executed and no work was completed because this project was removed from the CIP as part of the overall budget reduction strategy for 2010.. This project was discussed in 2014 during the 2015 CIP budget discussions and was approved as part of the 2015 CIP. It included design funding in 2015 and construction funds in 2016.
