A variance from the Lot Frontage Requirement to permit the division of the property into two lots without street frontage. 2. A 25 feet variance to the 25 feet rear setback requirement to permit a 0 foot rear setback. The property is located 1,400 feet east of the intersection of West Main Street and Highway 179 and approximately 140 feet south of Main Street. The property is described as Part of the Northwest fractional quarter of Section 2, Township 44 North, Range 12 West, in the City of Jefferson, Missouri. (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant). Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the property is a lot without street frontage and consists of two separate buildings zoned M-2 General Industrial. He stated that the applicants desire to divide the property with each building on a separate lot. Mr. Zollinger explained that the property is an irregularly shaped land locked parcel surrounded by six other parcels. He stated that once the property is split it will result in two separate properties named Tract A and Tract B. Mr. Zollinger explained that the new property line would require a rear setback variance for Tract A and a variance from the street frontage requirement for both Tract A and B. Mr. Patrick Kremer, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke regarding this request and distributed a visual depicting the location of Tract A and Tract B. Mr. Kremer explained that the subject property is an existing landlocked parcel. He stated that the parcel division will allow the buildings to be sold separately and give the property greater value. Mr. Kremer explained that the proposed variance will allow for conformance to the City Code. He stated that no modifications will be made to the site. Mr. Kremer explained that infrastructure exists to serve both buildings. Mr. James Jackson, 2707 W. Main Street, spoke in opposition to this request and expressed concerns that since no modifications will be made to the existing infrastructure they will again be made responsible for any stormwater issues similar to what they experienced in 2015. He stated that the neighboring properties experienced drainage issues and they were responsible fixing those issues. Mr. Jackson explained that he does not want to be responsible for fixing everyone else's issues. Mr. Barron addressed Mr. Jackson's concerns and encouraged him to contact the City's Stormwater Engineer. No correspondence was received. Mr. Zollinger gave the staff report and explained that the required findings appear to be met. He explained that the impact of a variance from the lot frontage and to permit a 0 foot rear setback on the property is minimal and the proposed variances would not create any unsafe conditions. Mr. Schaefer moved and Ms. Keating seconded to approve a variance from the Lot Frontage Requirement to permit the division of the property into two Tots without street frontage. With no additional discussion, the motion passed 5-0 with the following roll call vote: Aye: Hake, Keating, Schaefer, Seaver, Young Mr. Seaver moved and Ms. Keating seconded to approve a 25 feet variance to the 25 feet rear setback requirement to permit a 0 foot rear setback.

Request filed the Simons and Komaromi families Et'al, property owners, on behalf of Public Water Supply District #2, applicant, for a Conditional Use Permit for expansion of a water tower utility site to include a 3,200 sf single story utility building and storage yard. The property is located on the western side of Vieth Drive at the intersection of June Court and is described as part of the Northwest quarter of the Northwest quarter of Section 23, Township 44, Range 12, in the City of Jefferson, Missouri. (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant) Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the applicants are applying for a Conditional Use permit to expand the current water tower utility site and constructing a 3,200 sf single story building and storage yard. He stated that the site plan for the Conditional Use Permit it shows a 3,200 sf single story building, a gravel lay down yard surrounded by a 6 foot chain Zink security fence and installation of a tree row/bufferyard in the open area on the west side of the property. Mr. Zollinger explained that the building would be built in the same area of the existing home. He stated that the natural forested area to the north of the property would be left undisturbed to act as a natural buffer. Mr. Patrick Kremer, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke regarding this request and distributed visuals depicting the subject property and the conditional use plan. Mr. Kremer explained that the applicants are applying for a Conditional Use permit to expand the current water tower utility site and constructing a 3,200 sf single story building and storage yard. He stated that if approved the property will be purchased by Water Supply District #2 and the final site plan will follow. Mr. Kremer explained that on the proposed plan the proposed building is shown in close proximity to the existing house. He stated that they are proposing to leave a 35 foot wide natural bufferyard on the north side. Mr. Kremer explained that the natural buffer will not allow any grading or construction in that area. Ms. Margaret Komaromi Gooch, 6949 E Northshore Drive, Hartsburg, MO spoke in favor of this request. Ms. Gooch explained that the subject property is her parent's property that was initially a farm. She stated that her parents left the property to their five children. Ms. Gooch explained that since the water tower and single family homes surround the property it is essentially landlocked. She stated that it is not feasible as a buildable lot. Ms. Gooch explained that the property does not have any residential usage as it is behind a water tower and has a very narrow driveway. She stated that she and her siblings agree that the water tower is the best conditional use for that property. No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received. Mr. Zollinger gave the staff report and explained that the required findings appear to be met. He stated that the expansion of the water tower utility site is a necessary improvement to utility operations that serve the city. The chosen site is suitably separated from existing residential uses in the area and screened with a combination of an existing forested area and installed trees. Mr. Hake moved and Mr. Schaefer seconded to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of the water utility site.
