Applications filed by Joshua and Sherry Carlyle, owners of 2239 Ridge Road, and Charles Howard, owner of 2243 Ridge Road, for voluntary annexation pursuant to Section 71.012 RSMo and zoning plan of RS -3 Single Family Residential. The properties are located on the north side of Ridge Road 1000 feet east of South Country Club Drive and are described as lots 28, 29, and part of lot 30, Longview Subdivision, Cole County, Missouri. Mr. Barron gave the Planning Division staff report. He explained that the request is to incorporate the two subject properties, which are contiguous to the city limits, into the city with a single family residential zoning designation. Mr. Barron explained the purpose of the request is to be eligible to connect to the City's sanitary sewer system. He stated that staff proposes to zone the properties RS -3, as they are adjacent to Covington Gardens Subdivision, which is zoned RS -3 single family residential, and the lots meet the standards for the RS -3 district. Mr. Deeken inquired whether the City will take care of snow removal just for these two properties. Mr. Barron explained that the voluntary annexation is only for the two properties, and that the County will continue to maintain the street. Ms. McMillan added that the properties will be served by Jefferson City emergency services, and will be benefit from the City's rates on other services.

The complete text of the amendment is available for review at the Department of Planning and Protective Services, 320 E. McCarty Street, or may be viewed at the Planning Division webpage at www.jeffcitymo.org.

He stated that prior to the 2002 zoning code rewrite, offices were a permitted use in the M-2 General Industrial zoning district.
