Case No. P13015 — Revised Preliminary Plat and Final Subdivision Plat of Lage Ridge
Subdivision, Section Two. Application filed by James Lage, property owner, for a Revised
Preliminary Plat and a Final Subdivision Plat of 15.4 acres consisting of 24 lots. The property is
zoned RS -2 Low Density Residential and is located on the north side of Route C 1000 feet east of
Vieth Drive. The property is described as part of Section 23, Township 44 North, Range 12 West,
Jefferson City, Missouri (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant).
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that this proposal is for the approval of a
Revised Preliminary and Final Plat for Lage Ridge Subdivision, Section Two. He stated that in the
process of developing the subdivision, the developer decided to modify the street layout and lot
arrangement of the second phase of the subdivision. Mr. Barron explained that the revised layout
would eliminate one short cul-de-sac street and three (3) lots. He stated that the revised subdivision
plat eliminates the previously planned smaller cul-de-sac, therefore the street plan is for only one
long cul-de-sac named Trenton Court. Mr. Barron explained that Reserve Tract A would
accommodate a stormwater detention basin. He stated that Reserved Tract B would be granted to
the City to provide permanent access to the detention basin.
Mr. Mike Bates, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke regarding
this request. Mr. Bates distributed two (2) visuals depicting the proposed layout of the subdivision.
He explained that there were some initial concerns about the usability of the lots. Mr. Bates stated
that the cul-de-sac street to the north, with an additional four lots, would decrease the usability of
the other lots on the main street. He explained that these grades will leave the lots in a situation
that will not be readily usable. Mr. Bates stated that after meeting with the City the developer asked
to come back with a revised preliminary and final plat.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Wade gave the Engineering Division staff report.
Mr. Bates stated that he concurs with staff comments and recommendations.
Mr. Nunn moved and Mr. George seconded to approve the Preliminary Subdivision Plat subject to
compliance with comments and technical corrections by the Planning and Engineering Divisions.
The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Deeken, Dutoi, George, Jordan, Lester, Nunn, Vaughan, Yarnell
Mr. Nunn moved and Mr. Jordan seconded to recommend approval of the Final Subdivision Plat
to the City Council with the following conditions:
a. Compliance with comments and technical corrections by the Planning and Engineering
Divisions.
b. Finalization of Improvement Plans prior to introduction to City Council.
The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Deeken, Dutoi, George, Jordan, Lester, Nunn, Vaughan, Yarnell
Case No. P13016 — Final Subdivision Plat of Holiday House Acres Subdivision. Application

Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that this property was originally owned by
Scholastic, and the existing house on the property was used as an office. He stated that the
property was rezoned from C-1 to RS -2 and separated from the adjacent Scholastic parking lot by
an administrative parcel division. Mr. Barron explained that the property was then transferred to
River City Habitat for Humanity. He stated that Habitat wishes to divide the property into three lots,
with the existing house on the property remaining on a single lot and two new building lots being
created.
Mr. Kyle Kittrell, Construction Manager, River City Habitat for Humanity, 1420 Creek Trail Drive,
spoke regarding this request. He explained that Scholastic, Inc. approached them about a year ago
about some property that they would like to donate. Mr. Kittrell stated that once the property was
rezoned residential Scholastic Inc. deeded it to them. He explained that their intent is to rehab the
existing house and build two new houses on the remaining lots.
Mr. Mike Bates, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke regarding
this request. Mr. Bates distributed two visuals depicting the layout for the proposed subdivision. He
explained that the commercial zoned property would not have been compatible with the residential
neighborhood. Mr. Bates explained that they met with the neighborhood and addressed their
concerns.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Wade gave the Engineering Division staff report.
Mr. Bates stated that he concurs with staff comments and recommendations.
Chairman Robinett announced that Ms. Cotten is eligible to vote for Mr. Jordan.

located within the boundaries of this area. Mr. Barron explained that the area has a split zoning,
with 22 acres of the area being zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial and 16 acres of the area
zoned PUD Planned Unit Development. He stated that a series of recent developments and change
of use proposals within the area have gone through the PUD planning process, which requires
review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. Mr. Barron explained that in an
effort to reduce the burden of future development or change of use proposals within the PUD zoned

portion of the area, staff has analyzed the PUD zoned portion of the area for possible rezoning to a
standard zoning district. He stated that staff is considering two options: (1) leave the area zoned as
is; and (2) rezone the PUD portion of the area to C-1. Mr. Barron proposed to schedule a public
hearing for the December 12, 2013 Commission meeting.
