6. Communications Received
Correspondence was received for Case No. P13010.
7. New Business/Public Hearings
Case No. P13010 — 2500 Tanner Bridge Place; Preliminary PUD Plan. Request filed by
Stephen Karr, property owner, on behalf of Johnny Graham, applicant, for a Preliminary PUD
Plan for a new restaurant. The property is located on the northwest corner of Lorenzo Greene
Drive and Tanner Bridge Place and is described as part of the North Half of the Northeast Quarter
of Section 25, Township 44 North, Range 12 West (Central Missouri Professional Services,
Consultant).
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that property has two separate zoning districts.
He stated that part of the property is zoned PUD Planned Unit Development and a large portion of
the property is zoned RS -2 Single Family Residential. Mr. Barron explained that the applicant is
requesting approval of a Preliminary PUD Plan in order to construct a 4,500 square foot restaurant
with outdoor seating and outdoor special event space on the PUD zoned portion of the property. He
stated that the applicant is proposing to construct a driveway built to city street standards to serve
as a future connection to the rear of the property that is zoned RS -2. Mr. Barron explained that an
underlying zoning of C-1 Neighborhood Commercial is proposed. He stated that the main floor
would be used as restaurant space and the lower level would be used as a banquet/special event
space and storage. Mr. Barron explained that the existing house on the PUD zoned porton of the
property will be demolished to accommodate the proposed restaurant. He stated that no bufferyard
is proposed due to the designation of the neighboring property at 2506 Tanner Bridge Place as
commercial on the Development Plan Map of the of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Mihalevich left at 5:30 p.m.
Mr. John Graham, 1215 Dry Creek Road, spoke regarding this request and explained that he has
traveled and worked in different restaurants across the country. He decided to return to Jefferson
City and open a restaurant. He will use locally sourced produce when available, and would like to
have a community centered type of feel. The building design would have a feel of an old barn with
large stone fireplaces, and hours would typically be evening service Tuesday through Saturday with
Sunday brunch.
Mr. Mike Bates, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke regarding
this request. Mr. Bates distributed the following visuals: (1) layout of the proposed restaurant; (2)
Preliminary PUD Plan; and (3) preliminary floor plan and architectural rendering. He clarified that
the lower level should be referred to as the terrace level as opposed to the basement level. Mr.
Bates stated that the proposed restaurant will be built high enough so that there will be no issues
with stormwater drainage. He explained that a buffeyard will not be an issue due to the transitional
nature of the property.
Mr. Gary Belshe, 2506 Tanner Bridge Place explained that his property is immediately adjacent to
the subject property. He stated that Mr. Bates misrepresented him to some extent to where there
are no plans to develop his property in any kind of manner. Mr. Belshe explained that he is not
opposed to the proposed development but has two concerns: (1) He does not want Tanner Bridge
Place to be cut off and become an alleyway. Mr. Belshe requested that the applicant protect the
integrity of the street; and (2) his privacy will be eliminated by not having any type of buffer. He
stated that a portion of the parking lot will be within approximately 30 feet of his back door. Mr.
Belshe asked the Commission to require an adequate bufferyard between the two properties as his
property is considerably higher than the Karr property.

Mr. James Brady, 1308 Hoffman Drive, spoke regarding this request and explained that he is not
opposed to the proposed development. His concern is traffic impact due to Lorenzo Greene Drive
being a very high speed road. He stated that Veits Restaurant has added to the traffic to the area.
Mr. Brady inquired whether the stop signs at the intersection of Lorenzo Greene Drive, Tanner
Bridge Road and Tanner Bridge Place are sufficient.
Correspondence in favor of this request was received from Mary K. Vaughn, et.al, 2530 Tanner
Bridge Road.
In response to the concerns voiced by Mr. Belshe and Mr. Grady, Mr. Barron explained that the
City Code requires a traffic impact study for any new development that generates 100 or more peak
hour vehicle trips. He stated that the proposed development will not exceed that number so a traffic
impact study is not required. Mr. Barron explained that the existing intersection has been reviewed
by City Staff and is not a traffic concern. He stated that a future street would not affect access to the
other property from Tanner Bridge Place. Mr. Barron explained that under the normal zoning
guidelines, bufferyards are required between opposing zoning districts. For example if a property is
zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial and the neighboring property is zoned single family
residential a Type B bufferyard would be required. He stated that the narrowest version of a Type B
bufferyard consists of a 10 foot wide strip of land with small canopy trees planted every 20 feet.
Mr. Barron gave the Planning Division staff report. Mr. Wade gave the Engineering Division staff
report.
Mr. Vaughan inquired whether the proposed restaurant will sit higher in elevation than the
neighboring property. Mr. Bates explained that Mr. Belshe's property is approximately 20 feet
higher than the west side of the subject property. He stated that it was not their intent to
misrepresent Mr. Belshe's position. Mr. Bates acknowledged that they concur with staff comments
and recommendations and to establish a Type B bufferyard.
Mr. Barron requested to add the following condition: Establishment of a Type B bufferyard along
the property line adjacent to 2506 Tanner Bridge Place.
Mr. Nunn moved and Mr. Vaughan seconded to recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD
Plan subject to the following conditions:
A. Establishment of a Type B buffeyard along the southerly portion of the adjacent property line;
B. Compliance with the comments and technical corrections of the Planning and Engineering
Divisions.
The motion passed 6-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Deeken, George, Lester, Nunn, Vaughan, Thoenen
