of the language contained in the new zoning ordinance regarding New
condominiums being built in PUD in RS-1 zoning. Rezoning
Councilman Hequembourg asked Tom Benton if condominums and Ordinance
planned Unit development were added to the new zoning ordinance
or did the ordinance always contain this language . Mr. Benton
replied that the original submission from the Planning f, Zoning
Commission did not include this . At the public hearing Ray
Brummet stated that fee simple houses or condominium type approach
>4_ should be allowed anywhere. Mr. Benton stated they were in-
structed after the public hearing to meet with him to develop a
compromise in the final proposal . Mr. Benton and Mr. Preston met
with Mr. Brummet and a compromise was reached to allow them in
any of the single family districts provided they submitted the
plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission and to the Council and
it was approved.
Seth Evans , of The Architects Alliance , Inc . , presented the
schematic design for the new city hail . Site plans were passed City
out and discussed. The building faces north facing McCarty Street. Hall
It will be a two story brick exterior building with the main level
entrance on McCarty Street.
One item of dilscuss.ion was the area below the Council Chamberg.
This area is approximately 2 , 200 - 2 , 400 square feet which is
currently not needed from the standpoint of meeting the building
programs . The estimated cost for this area , ii' it were built and
left unfinished , would be in the area of $20 ,000 - $25 ,000 , of which
a major portion of that cost being the structural slab used to
support the Council Chambers above the area. After further dis-
cussion, Councilmen decided to proceed with excavation of the area
and the mechanical equipment be placed in this area rather than
, placed on the roof of the building.
The next item of discussion was the color of brick to be used
on the exterior of the building. Mr. Evans recommended the light
colored brick to make the building compatible with the police
building. Also the light colored brick would make the building
appear larger. After discussion, Councilman Wade moved that we
accept the recommendation of the architect and proceed with the
light colored brick. Motion was seconded by Councilman Prenger
and passed,
There are eighty-one parking spaces with approximately
twenty two spaces on the street parking and four spaces behind
the Public Works and Planning. These four spaces will be used by
short term inspectors .
Councilman Halsey inquired why the Director of the Park Board
would be housed in the new building and the staff of the Park
Board on Missouri Boulevard. He also pointed out that no element
of the Housing Authority would be housed in the new facility.
Mayor Hartsfield replied that the Housing Authority will rent the
present Public Works and Planning portion of the building on East
Miller. The space vacated by the Housing Authority in Dulle Tower
will be used for additional apartments . The Fire Department will
use the old fire station section of that complex for training.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, July 20 , 1981
I The Park Board would not have any staff left on Missouri 1
Boulevard. That building would be used for classes and programs . ii
When the Finance Department is caught up on their work, they will ft
ii assume the financial responsibilities of the Park Board. ii
Councilman Halsey requested that people who rent from the ( ;',
Housing Authority be able to pay their rent at the location i
t q g Y p Y
i where they live rather than have to travel to Miller Street. He i� ?,
` '� also suggested a drop box for paying police court tickets to be }
ilocated outside the building rather than having to go inside the
building to pay. i
!� Councilman Halsey asked Mr. Evans the life expectancy of
the roof to be placed on the building. Mr. Evans replied that he
• was proposing a relatively new system called "single ply membrane" {�
City which is ballast and loose laid rubber material . A five year
Hall warranty will be on the roof and a ten year warranty is available "!! s;"
fj with a small additional charge. i
The next item of discussion was the windows , the option of '
it having operable windows in the building . Mr. Evans pointed out ( ,
advantages and disadvantages of operable windows . Fixed glass i,
Iis cheaper initially and will reduce building energy costs
annually. However, if the windows do not open and if an Air
' conditioning malfunction would occur , it could get uncomfortable. I
1 The estimate for 39 operating windows is $ 8 ,000 in initial cost 41
.c ' and $160. 00 per year operating (energy) cost. Operating cost
assumes the windows are closed. However, if control is not
w ! exercised as to when windows may be opened , the operating cost
'' could change . The plan calls fot every two out of five windows
• to be operable windows . After discussion , it was agreed to have ,,:
forty percent (40%) operating windows.
,j Forrest Capps , the Architect for the new animal shelter , then
: I
spoke to the Council regarding the final plans and specifications
of the shelter. The building is a one story , slab on grade with
masonry walls on the interior and exterior. The windows are
operating with one inch insulated glass . The interior of the
t4 1
building will be all block except for a couple of sheetrock walls .
Animal
helte 'the roof has a one -half inch slope which drains into the middle Shelter of the building . I n the kennel area the walls go a l l the way up `�;
lip'
to the ceiling and the blocks w i l l keep the sound in.
j The cost originally in March was $$ 1.75 ,000- $ 181 , 000 . Thu
$181 ,000 was increased approximately $ 1 ,493, mainly due to some
j� extra concrete driveways and 1.'„ in1'lat. ion per month for a total
of $188 ,000 . 00 . 1
Councilman Halsey asked about odor control . Mr. Capps repl ieti
that there was no special system for odor control but mainly good ii
i housekeeping. Mr. Menton further stated that they are currently .
E, using disinfectant , however , in the new building the drains in the
kennel area are such that they will aid in the cleaning process.
He stated there are some air units available that would alleviate
, the odor problem.
• Councilman Halsey asked if there would be any problem in
utilizing the Building Trade Council . Mr. Capps said he could
foresee no problem. Mr. Benton further stated they were told .
that because of their work between the building trade and the
union, they would merely inform those union contractors that have
. picked up a set of plans and expressed interest in bidding on the
•
project of how much they are going to contribute in the way of
•
labor and then that contractor would deduct that cost from his
bid.
Mayor I-iartsfield asked the dollar value of their contribution.
Mr. Benton replied that they mention the figure 35 to 40% and •
with a projected cost of $175 ,000- $188 ,000 , taking the high and
low of 35% to 40% and the high and low of the projected cost , this
would be a total cost to the city of $105 ,000-$122 ,200 . He
pointed out that the City has budgeted $50 ,000 for this project,
the Humane Society will contribute $62 ,000 and there are bequests
which will be channeled into this project of approximately $22 ,000
We will be in the budget if the contribution of the labor is •
accepted. He further stated, on behalf of the Humane Society ,
•
x48
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, July 20 , 1981
that they do not expect the City' s contribution to exceed $50 ,000
and they will not come back to the City for additional sums . If
there were some problem with the labor situation they are committal
to the project.
After further discussion, Councilman Wade moved that we accep
the plan and proceed with advertising of bids . Motion seconded
by Councilman Brant. However, concern was expressed regarding
prevailing wage laws and also some Councilmen stated they would
like to have written guarantees of the money to be contributed
other than money budgeted by the City. Upon voice vote and a
show of hands , the motion failed.
Meeting adjourned.
