6. New Business — Public Hearing
Case No. B18006 - 3100 S Ten Mile Drive, Outdoor Storage Screening Variance. Request
filed by Rhomberg Reality, property owner, for a variance to bufferyard and screening
requirements at 3100 S Ten Mile Drive. The purpose of the request is to permit a variance to type
B bufferyard screening requirement for outdoor storage. The property is located on the North side
of South Ten Mile Drive 700 feet southeast of the intersection of Missouri Boulevard and South
Ten Mile Drive and is described as part of the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of
Section 10, 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 zoned C-2 General
Commercial. He stated that the applicant's desire is to expand the existing outdoor storage area by
converting a grassed area adjacent to S. Ten Mile Drive into storage yard space. Mr. Zollinger
explained that the expansion would require the installation of a Type B Bufferyard to screen the
expanded storage yard space. He stated that the request to expand their outdoor storage area
triggers the requirement for a Type B Bufferyard and screening due to that the property owner is
requesting a variance to a Type B Bufferyard and screening requirements. Mr. Zollinger explained
that the applicant's desire is to expand the existing outdoor storage closer to S Ten Mile Drive. He
stated that the expansion would require the installation of a Type B Bufferyard with a screening
fence. Mr. Zollinger explained that the elevation of the street is 10 to 15 feet higher than the existing
storage area. He stated that to accomplish the expansion, part of the hill between S Ten Mile Drive
and the existing outdoor storage area would be removed and replaced with a retaining wall. Mr.
Zollinger explained that low hanging powerlines exist along the frontage of S Ten Mile Drive and
would make it difficult to install and maintain the required trees for a Type B Bufferyard. He stated
that the newly installed retaining wall would somewhat substitute for the Bufferyard and screening
requirement.
Mr. Paul Samson, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke
regarding this request. Mr. Samson distributed a visual of the proposed outdoor storage expansion.
Mr. Samson explained that the applicant is expanding their outdoor storage area by constructing a
retaining wall along S. Ten Mile Drive and eliminate the grass slope next to their existing storage
area. He stated that the Type B Bufferyard is both impractical to construct and would actually be
more of a detriment to adjacent properties than leaving the existing fence in place. Mr. Samson
explained that the Nuway site sits at an elevation approximately 10 to 15 feet lower than S. Ten
Mile Drive. He stated that the expanded storage area would be tucked in below the hill and not be
visible from the properties on S. Ten Mile Dr. He stated that construction of the Type B Bufferyard
would not be allowed because of the existing overhead power line that sits along S. Ten Mile Drive.
Mr. Samson explained that construction of the fence would actually be more of a detriment to the
views from the properties along S. Ten Mile Drive. He stated that the existing chain link will stay in
place. Mr. Samson explained that the retaining wall consist of reinforced concrete.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Zollinger gave the Planning Division staff report and explained that the required findings
appear to be met. He stated that the nature of the property is such that the installation of the
required Type 6 buffer yard would make it difficult for the applicant to be able use their property in a
manner similarly enjoyed by adjoining property owners.
Mr. Seaver moved and Ms. Lacy seconded to approve a variance to the Type B Bufferyard and
screening requirements for outdoor storage.
With no additional discussion, the motion passed 5-0 with the following roll call vote:
Aye: Hake, Lacy, Schaefer, Seaver, Young
7. Miscellaneous Reports
