7. New Business/Public Hearings
Case No. P18023 - 3410 Sherman's Hollow Preliminary PUD Plan. Request filed by Marketing
Specialists Inc., property owner, for a Preliminary PUD Plan to construct two, one story residential
duplexes. The property is located on the northwest corner of Shermans Hollow and Wildwood
Drive and is described as Lot 54 of Westpoint Estates Section 4, Jefferson City, Cole County,
Missouri (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant).
Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the applicant has acquired .93 acres of
property at the intersection of Wildwood Drive and Shermans Hollow and plans on constructing two,
one story residential duplexes consisting of two units. He stated that the property is zoned PUD and
the property owner has submitted a PUD Plan. Mr. Zollinger explained that the exterior of the
buildings would be brick veneer and siding and the roof finish would be asphalt shingles. He stated
that a 5 foot sidewalk with 3 foot greenspace would be constructed along the frontage of Shermans
Hollow Road. Mr. Zollinger explained that the Preliminary PUD would match the land use of the
adjacent residential neighborhood and the building exterior finish would be similar to the adjacent
townhouse development. He stated that the Development Plan Map of the Comprehensive Plan
shows this area as being planned for medium density attached residential and the Preliminary PUD
complements that plan.
Mr. Patrick Kremer, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke
regarding this request and distributed visuals depicting: (1) the location of the proposed
development; (2) the elevations of the proposed development; (3) the floor plan of the proposed
development; and (4) the preliminary building layout and grading plan. Mr. Kremer explained that
directly to the south and east is offices and to the west is a townhouse development. He stated that
the applicant purchased the subject property to expand their operations. Mr. Kremer explained that
the subject property has sat vacant since 1998. He stated that the proposed plan would construct
two single story duplexes. Mr. Kremer explained that the building elevations will be similar to the
townhouse development to the west. He stated that the proposed duplexes will have brick on the
front side and architectural shingles. Mr. Kremer explained that the duplexes will have a two car
attached garage. He stated that the site sits higher than Shermans Hollow and each unit will be
stair stepped down with the grade of Shermans Hollow. Mr. Kremer explained that this is an attempt
to make the driveways match the existing grades. He stated that on the western portion of the site
Unit 2B will sit lower in comparison to all of the duplexes. Mr. Kremer explained that they will not be
grading past the western property line because the grades on that property line are higher than the
grades of what Unit 2B will be sitting on. He stated that the grades on the rear of the buildings will
be higher than the grades on the front portion of the site. Mr. Kremer explained that this will affect
stormwater flow because all of the stormwater north of the site will flow down across the subject
property and onto Shermans Hollow. He stated that once the stormwater flow is contained by the
street, it will flow into the curb inlets along Shermans Hollow. Mr. Kremer believes that this will

improve the situation for the drainage in the existing townhouse area to the west. He stated that the
stormwater flow will be increased because there is more impervious area on the lot, but will be
directed towards the street and into the existing inlets. He stated that sanitary sewer will be
extended so that each unit has access to sanitary sewer. Mr. Kremer explained that impacts to the
street network will be minimal. He stated that the applicant will keep some of the trees on the site.
Mr. Steve Lightner, 710 Wildwood Drive, spoke regarding this request and explained that he
owns Jefferson West Apartments. He stated that they started with 120 units and currently have 196
units. Mr. Lightner explained that he is interested in the subject property because it provides a
buffer between the properties. He stated that a PUD zoning would allow many types of uses such
as a commercial building, tattoo shop and vapor lounge. Mr. Lightner explained that he did not want
that next to us and wanted to control what is being built there. He stated that he has managed
apartment complexes since 1978 and has owned Jefferson West Apartments since the 1980's. Mr.
Lightner explained that there is a need for additional rental units in Jefferson City. He stated that the
proposed development will be rental units. Mr. Lightner explained that the proposed development
will not be Section 8 Housing.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to this request:
• Carol Poteat, 811 Strasburg Court
• Paul VanHorn, 808 Strasburg Court
Those speaking in opposition voiced the following concerns:
• Stormwater runoff
• Rental development, not owner occupied
• Section 8 Housing Development
Mr. Lester left at 5:50 p.m.
The following individuals spoke regarding this request:
• Judy Burrows, 3426 Shermans Hollow
• Dorothy Ewers, 3414 Shermans Hollow
Those speaking regarding this request voiced the following concerns:
• Not opposed to an apartment development, the adjoining apartment complex have been
good neighbors
• Stormwater runoff
• Removal of trees will contribute to stormwater runoff
• Increase in traffic
No correspondence was received.
Mr. Zollinger gave the Planning Division staff report. Mr. Wade gave the Engineering Division
staff report.
Mr. Patrick Kremer, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, addressed
the concerns regarding stormwater drainage. Mr. Kremer explained that he would entertain Mr.
Wade's comments about placing a berm on the western side further to the north. He stated that the
final site plan will address all of these issues.
Mr. Steve Lightner, 710 Wildwood Drive, addressed Mr. Wade's suggestion of a turnaround. Mr.
Lightner explained that in order to construct a turnaround two walnut trees would have to be
removed which would contribute to additional stormwater runoff.
Mr. Vaughan moved and Ms. Mahoney seconded to recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD
Plan subject to staff recommendations regarding minor technical corrections to the City Council.
The motion passed 7-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Cotten, Deeken, Mahoney, Markus, Quigg, Vaughan, Vogt
