6. New Business — Public Hearing
Case No. B18007 - 2900 West Truman Blvd, Fence Height Variance. Request filed by Unilever
Manufacturing Inc for a 4 foot variance to the maximum height of a fence in the front setback area
of 4 feet to permit an 8 foot tall fence at the front property line adjacent to Schumate Chapel Road
(Section 35-59.F.3.a). The property is located on the northeast corner of Schumate Chapel Road
and West Truman Blvd and is described as part of Section 34 Township 45 north Range 12 west
and part of Section 3 Township 44 north Range 12 west, Jefferson City, Missouri ( Whiting -
Turner, Consultant).
Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the property is zoned M-2 General
Industrial. He stated that the applicant's desire is to install an 8' foot tall wrought iron fence to
secure the property along the two public roads that boarder the south and east and west portions of
the property. Mr. Zollinger explained that the installation of the fence would require a variance to the
4 foot maximum height of a fence allowed in the 25' front set back of the property. He stated that
the request for a variance only applies to the portion of the fence that is proposed to be installed
along the property line in between their current parking facilities and Schumate Chapel Road. Mr.
Zollinger explained that the fence can maintain a 25' setback in all areas except the area between
the parking lot and Schumate Chapel Road, where the distance between property line and parking
lot is not wide enough to accommodate the 25 foot setback required for an 8 foot tall fence.
Mr. Michael Wellman, Project Delivery Engineer, Unilever Manufacturing Inc, 2900 W. Truman
Boulevard, spoke regarding this request and introduced Mr. Andrew Olson, Whiting -Turner,
Consultant. Mr. Wellman explained that the reason for the proposed request is that Unilever
Manufacturing is embarking on a project to improve security at the site. He stated that the proposed
fence is one of the first steps to provide a barrier at the property line to keep people from wandering
onto the property and into restricted areas. Mr. Wellman explained that the proposed fence will be
installed in the grass between the parking lot and the roadway. He stated Unilever Manufacturing is
proposing to construct a guard shack in the driveway beyond the employee entrance.
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 between the parking lot and Schumate
Chapel Road is situated in a way that would make it difficult for the property owner to secure their
property.
Ms. Lacy moved and Mr. Seaver seconded to approve a 4 foot variance to the maximum height of
a fence in the front setback area of 4 feet to permit an 8 foot tall fence at the front property line
adjacent to Schumate Chapel Road.
With no additional discussion, the motion passed 5-0 with the following roll call vote:
Aye: Hake, Lacy, Keating, Schaefer, Seaver
