7. Other New Business
Case No. P18028 — Sardonyx Drive, Preliminary and Sketch Subdivision Plat of Prenger
Ridge Subdivision. Request filed by Joe Scheppers, property owner, and Ryan Prenger,
applicant for the following:
1. Preliminary Subdivision Plat for 23.98 acres consisting of 35 Single Family Residential
lots.
2. Sketch Subdivision Plat for 71.07 acres consisting of a total of 61 lots showing the future
road network of Sardonyx Drive, Weatherhill Road and Emerald Lane.
The property is zoned RS-2,RS-1 Single Family Residential and PUD Planned Unit Development
is located on the North end of Sardonyx Drive and is described as part of the Northeast quarter of
the Southwest quarter of section 10, Township 44 North, Range 12 West, in the City of Jefferson,
Cole County, Missouri (Central Missouri Professional Services, consultant).
Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that this proposal is for the approval of a
Preliminary Plat for Prenger Ridge Subdivision consisting of 23.98 acres. He stated that the
property is zoned RS -2 and RS -1 Single Family Residential and C-2 General Commercial and is
intended to be developed as a single family residential subdivision as an extension of Sardonyx
Drive with a Sketch Subdivision Plat showing the future road network of Sardonyx Drive,
Weatherhill Road and Emerald Lane. Mr. Zollinger explained that this preliminary plat would consist
of 35 lots.
Mr. Paul Samson, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke
regarding this request. Mr. Samson distributed the following visuals: (1) Preliminary Plat for Prenger
Ridge Subdivision; (2) Sketch Preliminary Plat; and (3) Stormwater Plan. Mr. Samson explained
that Mr. Joe Scheppers owns approximately 70 acres in the vicinity of the subject property and has
an agreement with Mr. Ryan Prenger to purchase approximately 24 acres to extend the subdivision
from Sardonyx Drive. He stated that the intent of the Sketch Plat is future plans would be for
Sardonyx Drive to not connect to South Ten Mile Drive but to circle back around to the south and tie
back into the Diamond Ridge, West Edgewood Drive area. Mr. Samson explained that Mr.
Scheppers lives on the east side of the property and has no intention to proceed with any further
development. He stated that part of the property that Mr. Prenger is purchasing is the northern most
property and is currently zoned C-2. Mr. Samson explained that the intent is to leave the C-2 zoned
property as is for the time being. He stated that all utilities exist on the site. Mr. Samson commented
that he does not agree with staff recommendation for a stormwater detention basin on both the east
and west side. He stated that they propose to use the existing stormwater detention basin that has
no water quality benefits. Mr. Samson explained that they propose to make modifications to the
existing stormwater detention basin outlet so that we would provide the water quality benefit for an
equivalent number of houses and roadways that will be constructed in this subdivision extension on
the west side of the basin.
Mr. Barron explained that he conferred with the Law Department before making a statement. The
stormwater requirements of the City Code are contained in Chapter 31, Stormwater Management.
The subdivision regulations are contained in Chapter 33 Subdivision Code. The Planning and
Zoning Commission does not have the authority to approve any reductions or deviations from the
requirements of Chapter 31. The Applicant needs to work within that section of the City Code.
Mr. Paul Samson, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, made a
comment to Mr. Barron's reference to Chapter 31. He commented that he does not believe there is
a specific requirement for stormwater detention to be installed in every development in Chapter 31.
Mr. Samson explained that stormwater detention is typically looked at by staff on a case by case
basis. He stated that we are asking to not include the stipulation that the stormwater detention
basin be installed on the east side and let city staff and the developer work through that process on
the final plans. Mr. Samson explained that we intend to comply with all requirements of Chapter 31
including stormwater quality. He stated that we plan on taking impervious area that currently does
not have any water quality benefit and detaining and treating that water in lieu of the 16 or 17
houses that are on the east side of the basin.
Mr. Barron recommended a removal of the notes on the plat regarding stormwater management.

a variance to Chapter 31.
