6. New Business — Public Hearing
Case No. B19004 - 311 & 320 Hoover Road, Conditional Use Permit. Request filed by
Missouri American Water Co, property owner, for a Conditional Use Permit for office and
operations facility including outdoor storage of maintenance and heavy equipment in a M-1
Zoning District. The property is located at the end of Hoover Road and is described as part of
Tract 5-B of the Parcel Division recoded in Survey Record Book B, page 105, City of Jefferson,
Cole County, Missouri (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant).
Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the property consists of 8.49 acres and is
Zoned M-1 Light Industrial. He stated that the property was recently rezoned and the purpose of the
rezoning was to facilitate the future redevelopment of the property for Missouri American Water
Company, to relocate their existing office and operations facility. Mr. Zollinger explained that such a
facility is a permitted use within the M-1 Zoning District, but the addition of outdoor storage requires
a Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Paul Samson, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke
regarding this request and distributed a visual depicting the site plan. Mr. Samson explained that
the purpose of the project is to relocate the existing office and operation facility from their current
location on West High Street to the subject property. He stated that the relocation of the existing
office and operations facility to the subject property will allow Missouri American Water Company to
update and expand the capacity of their water treatment facility. Mr. Samson explained that the
back side of the site will contain an approximately 5,000 square foot three or four bays wide
enclosed equipment garage. He stated that there would also be an unenclosed covered outdoor
storage building for materials. Mr. Samson explained that the outdoor storage area would be
completely enclosed by a six foot tall chain Zink fence with a barb wire top. He stated that the
property to the west side of the site is currently zoned C-2 General Commercial and sits at a 20 foot
elevation difference above the subject property site. Mr. Samson explained that they are proposing
a six foot tall chain link fence with a barb wire top and privacy slats. He stated that the fence would
be located approximately 10 feet off of the property line. Mr. Samson explained that they are
proposing a six foot tall chain link fence with privacy slats on the north side of the subject property.
He stated that this is a high density residential apartment development. Mr. Samson explained that
the fence will be located approximately 30 feet off of the property line. He stated that they will plant
a row of medium canopy trees that are low to the ground and provide a dense canopy. Mr. Samson
explained that on the east side of the property is Riverview Cemetery. He stated that they are
proposing a chain Zink fence with not privacy slats located approximately 50 feet off of the property
line. Mr. Samson explained that the existing slope located 30 feet off of the property line will remain.
He stated that the existing vegetation will remain and allowed to grow.
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 use of a screening
fence and additional landscaping helps to mitigate the visual nuisance of outdoor storage.
Ms. Keating moved and Mr. Seaver seconded to approve the proposed Conditional Use Permit
and site plan to allow for the use of outdoor storage, subject to comments and technical corrections
from City Staff.
After discussion, the motion passed 5-0 with the following roll call vote:
Aye: Hake, Keating, Lacy, Schaefer, Seaver
7. Miscellaneous Reports
