Install one 6800 lumen light with metal pole at the northwest 11 corner of the intersection of Schellridge West and Schellridgei� Road. Adopted: October 4, 1976 Isl Robert L. Hyder President of the Council. Councilwoman McDowell moved that the Resolution be adopted. Motion passed. - - - - - - - - - - The following veto message was read by Mayor Hyder: ;; Veto !1Message- I am returning herewith the Resolution relating to the closing ! Resolution of Country Club Drive, which I am vetoing under authority of sclosing of Section 77.280, R.S.Mo. , and ask that this veto be presented to the I! Country Council at its next regular meeting date on October 4, 1976. Club The reasons for my veto of this Resolution are briefly stated Drive. as follows, and at the election of the Council I will discuss them more fully on October 4: 1. The City is in the process of annexing approximately 1,500 �! acres and I am advised by the Director of Public Works that there was testimony on his part that the City would provide for this area the necessary general services, which would, of course, include access routes, police and fire protection (among other services) . At the present time only a portion of North Ten Mile Drive which lies within the City, and Country Club Drive, which lies within the City, provide access to this sizable area. I have been advised that the closing of Country Club Drive will be injected into the present suit now pending on appeal and in a new suit if necessary II in an effort to exclude the large development area from city annexation. 2. Section 227.290 is the statute by which the State Highway 11 Commission abandons its right-of-way and that statute gives the State Highway Commission the authority to convey the abandoned land for the "best available cash price by Deed," with the restriction that if it were donated by the abutting owner, it shall return to him without cost. It can readily be seen what effect this would have upon Country Club Drive in that area, which it is proposed be closed. 567. ___.__..............__...Regular .Council 3. I have had innumerable calls From citizens requesting that the street be not closed and members of the Council have advised me that the reaction which they have received is the same, except for those petitioners involved in the immediate neighborhood. I have received numerous serious requests for the closing of other major arteries , some of whom have advised that they are presenting £ormad petitions . The public is entitled to the equal protection of the laws. 4. In the Comprehensive Plan for Jefferson City by Harland Bartholomew and Associates, accepted by the City, and on page 10 Veto thereof is a statement concerning the effectiveness of retail Message outlets; i.e. , the ratio of retail sales to buying income. It is Resolution there stated that the trend for Jefferson City is apparently that closing of since 1954 retail sales as a percent of buying income has decreasedjl Country from 90 percent to 65 percent and the conclusion is that "many of , Club the city residents shop elsewhere. " This ratio must be reversed I Drive and we must have the tremendous retail trade which will be generated in this area to be annexed. It will unquestionably be necessary for us to even construct other streets into this area, and I cannot participate in an action which obviously is going to cause some increased cost to the City and substantial losses in income. Respectfully, /s/ Robert L. Hyder Mayor. Mayor Hyder asked for a roll-call vote. Councilman Barry raised a point of order in that Section 77.280 R.S.Mo. , 1969, states that such veto shall be noted on the journal of the Council, and shall be effective and binding unless the Council, at a subsequent session thereof, general or special, shall pass said Resolution or order by a vote of three-fourths of all the members elected to the Council. Mayor Hyder asked the opinion of the City Attorney. He agreed that the vote shall be taken at a subsequent meeting. Adjournment Councilman Hager moved that the Council adjourn, under the rules . Motion passed.
