Case No. P15004 — 1501 and 1503 E. High Street, Rezoning and Preliminary PUD Plan.
Applications filed by Henry and Linda Stratman, property owners, for the following:
1. Rezoning of 0.18 acres from C-2 General Commercial and 0.55 acres from RS -4 Single
Family Residential to PUD Planned Unit Development.
2. A Preliminary PUD Plan for an unpaved parking area and use of the houses on the property
as specified commercial or residential uses.
The property is located on the north side of East High Street 250 feet west of Lincoln Street and
is described as part of Outlot 72, Jefferson City, Missouri.
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that the subject properties are located across
the street from The Village Square and consist of two residential properties. He stated that a portion
of one of the lots is zoned C-2 General Commercial and the remainder of the lots are zoned RS -4
Single Family Residential. Mr. Barron explained that the Applicant proposes to extend the driveway
along the eastern side of 1501 E. High Street to accommodate overflow parking for employees
during major events thereby freeing up parking at The Village Square for customers. He stated that
the driveway would be paved from the intersection with High Street to a point behind the houses,
where it would transition to gravel. Mr. Barron explained that a residential garage located on 1501
E. High Street would be demolished and a new 30'x24' garage would be constructed with a one
foot setback from the property line. He stated that a four (4) foot tall privacy fence would be
installed along the western property line at 1501 E. High Street.
Mr. Henry Stratman, 2962 State Road AA, Holts Summit, Missouri, spoke regarding this request
and explained that there are seven (7) retail businesses with at least two to three employees each
at the Village Square. He stated that they take up a considerable amount of on-site and on -street
parking. Mr. Stratman explained that when there are major events at The Village Square there is a
need for vendors and employees to park off-site to free up parking for visitors and customers. He
stated that they bought the subject properties to make better use of the land behind the residential
homes. Mr. Stratman explained that he made slight modifications on the PUD plan to reduce the
size of the garage in order to add a patio.
No one spoke in opposition to this request.
Correspondence in favor of this request was received from Mr. Thomas Gredell, P.E. Gredell
Engineering Resources, 1505 E. High Street.
Mr. Barron gave the Planning Division staff report. He inquired whether Mr. Stratman contacted
the property owner at 1411 E. High to the west of his property about locating the garage so close to
the property line. Mr. Stratman explained that he tried to make contact with them and verify if they
knew where the property line was, which they did not. He stated that he will have the property line
surveyed before he moves to that phase. Mr. Stratman explained that he will let them know of his
plans for that property.
Mr. Lester moved and Ms. Cotten seconded to recommend approval to rezone the subject
properties from RS -4 and C-2 to PUD to the City Council. The motion passed 8-0 with the following
votes:
Aye: Cotten, Deeken, Fitzwater, George, Jordan, Lester, Vaughan, Yarnell
Mr. Lester moved and Ms. Cotten seconded to recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD Plan
to the City Council. The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Cotten, Deeken, Fitzwater, George, Jordan, Lester, Vaughan, Yarnell
Case No. P15005 — 2111 Bald Hill Road, Voluntary Annexation and Zoning Plan. Application
filed by William Burnett, property owner, for voluntary annexation of 0.78 acres, pursuant to
Section 71.012 RSMo, and approval of a zoning plan for the property to be zoned RS -3 Single
Family Residential. The property is located on the east side of Bald Hill Road 100 feet south of

Eastland Drive and is described as part of Outlot 112 and part of the Northeast Quarter of the
Southeast Quarter of Section 20, Township 44 North, Range 11 West, Jefferson City, Missouri.
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that the property owner has the property listed
for sale. He stated that in order to connect to the City sewer system, the property owner is
petitioning for voluntary annexation. Mr. Barron explained that the applicant is requesting a zoning
designation of RS -3 Single Family Residential, which would match the adjacent property within the
City Limits. He stated that the subject property is contiguous to the current city limits and the
property lends itself well to incorporation and the requested single family residential zoning would
conform to the recommended land use of the Comprehensive plan.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Lester moved and Mr. Vaughan seconded to recommend approval of the annexation request
and zoning plan establishing an RS -3 zoning for the property to the City Council. The motion
passed 8-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Cotten, Deeken, Fitzwater, George, Jordan, Lester, Vaughan, Yarnell
