The meeting was called to order by Chairman Ahlers at 8:00 a.m. A quorum was present at this time.
1. Introductions
No formal introductions were made.
2. Acceptance of the February 10, 2010 meeting minutes
A motion was made by Mr. Hughes to approve the February 10, 2010 minutes as written, seconded by Mr.
Kelly. All in favor, minutes approved.
3. New Business
1. Request to remove truck traffic on Route C from Idlewood to Southwest Boulevard . (Requestor: Dan
Davis)
Mr. Smith gave a staff report. Mr. Smith noted the requestor’s concern of truck traffic not yielding to vehicles
when turning right on to Route C from Idlewood. Route C is a State highway and staff believes the City has no
authority. Staff has spoken to MoDOT and the City’s legal department and all are in agreement the City has no
authority, therefore staff recommends to deny request.
Group discussion took place among the commission members. Sgt. Stiefermann informed the commission
members that he has scheduled direct enforcement in the area and intends to see if Phillips 66 has a safety
officer to speak with about the safety concerns for the area traffic.
A motion was made by Mr. Washburn to approve the request, seconded by Mr. Raub. All opposed, motion
failed. Staff will notify requestor.
2. Request to remove parking on a portion of Weathered Rock Road and Weathered Rock Court near
Stone Hill Road. (Requestor: Tyler Nesheim)
Mr. Smith gave a staff report. Staff received one formal request and two other phone calls pertaining to this
issue. The road is currently 32’ wide and removal on one side is recommended for a street of this width. Staff
has noticed parking on both sides of Weathered Rock Rd and Weathered Rock Ct, making it difficult for two
lanes of traffic to pass through. Area businesses were notified of the request and parking has since stopped.
A brief discussion among the members took place. Mr. Hughes questioned if Infrocrossing is in compliance with
current parking codes. They have multiple lots which seem to be fairly ful l. Staff assumes they are currently in
compliance.
A motion was made by Mr. Louraine to accept the request as written, then amended to add staff
recommendations, seconded by Mr. Prather. All in favor, motion approved. This will go before the City Council.
4. Old Business

Mr. Morasch gave a brief review to the commission members on a Traffic Engineering Assistance Program
(TEAP) study that has just been completed. The study covered two intersections, the intersection of Stadium
Boulevard and Southwest Boulevard; and the intersection of Scott Station Road and Truman Boulevard. A
handout of the study was given to the commission members for their review.
A brief group discussion occurred among the members and staff on the areas of the study and future growth in
development.
