MEMORANDUM
TO: Public Works and Planning Committee
THROUGH: Sonny Sanders, Director of Planning and Protective Services
FROM Katrina Williams, Interim Neighborhood Services Planner
DATE March 12, 2019
RE: Amendment to CDBG 2019-2023 Consolidated Action Plan
The City of Jefferson receives annual federal funding from U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
Participation in this funding. program requires the City to create and maintain a five year strategic
plan. The strategic plan for Jefferson City is the CDBG 2019-2023 Consolidated Action Plan.
The Plan helps the City of Jefferson assess affordable housing and community development
needs, evaluate market conditions, and make data -driven, place -based investment decisions. The
Plan serves as the framework to identify priorities and allocate CDBG funding accordingly. The
City Council adopted the 2019-2023 Consolidated Action Plan via Resolution 2019-4 on August
5, 2019.
Over the past year, the City has had natural disasters, including flooding and the May 22, 2019,
EF3 tornado, that have impacted housing and development in Jefferson City. With input from
the community, staff have identified a need to amend the Plan to utilize CDBG grant funds for
disaster response and aid in long term recovery activities. The proposed amendment includes
language that addresses the following;
• Pre -disaster planning and reallocation of priorities in times of Presidential Disaster
Declaration
• Supporting activities of Community Housing Development Organizations
• Tax Foreclosed Housing (In Rem)
A public meeting was held on February 27' , 2020, in the City Hall Boone/Bancroft Conference
Room. Copies of the proposed amendment to the CDBG 2019-2023 Consolidated Action PIan
were made available at City Hall, The administrative offices of the Public Housing Authority, the
Missouri River Regional Library and on the City's website at www.jeffersoncitymo.gov.
The budget amounts for 2019-2023 have not changed. The 2020 Allocation has not been
received. The following table depicts the proposed budget with 2019 allocation and NSP PI

Subject: Revisions to Chapter 32 of the City Code
Staff is requesting that the Committee review the proposed changes to Chapter 32 of the City Code and
recommend them to the City Council for approval.
In May of 2019 the Committee was presented with a number of proposed changes to Chapter 32 of the
City Code. Since that time the proposed changes have been reviewed internally and further refined. A
summary of the major changes are enumerated below:
Existing Article I — This section has been moved to Article VIII and received some minor changes
including the removal of references to misdemeanors, removing the section on pedestrian control signs
which is already covered in Chapter 19 of the Code, and the removal of the section pertaining to water
utilities. Changes were also made to privately owned lights, and the lighting of obstructions on the
street.
Proposed Article I — Livable Streets: In 2011 the Council passed by resolution a Livable Streets Policy
which indicated that the City shall consider standards, regulations, and ordinances that further the ideas
of Livable Streets. This section is a reflection of the principles outlined by that resolution.
Existing Article II — Except for the section pertaining to Special Assessments which was moved to
Article VII, the whole of this article was deleted since this language has long since been replaced by the
Purchasing Code of Chapter 26-A.
Proposed Article II — This is what had been Article III pertaining to street improvements. The major
change to this article includes the removal of the specific construction and material specifications for
street construction and replaces them with a reference to the Standard Construction Drawings and
Technical Specifications. This eliminates discrepancies between the documents and allows for updates
as the construction industry and products change. It also removes language that pertains to the bidding
process as this is now covered in Chapter 26-A of the Code.
Proposed Article III — This article pertains to sidewalks, and had been Article IV. As with the article on
streets the construction and materials section was replaced with references to the Standard Drawings.
Deletions have been made to the responsibilities of owners and one section of the deferral process, as
well as language that is now covered by purchasing. The Sidewalk Repair Program and the
U:\Public Works\Engineering\dbange\PUBLIC WORKS & PLANNING1202013-20201Chapter 32 Code Changes.docx
Memorandum
Neighborhood Improvement Program which had been separate articles have been made divisions
within this article with minor changes to the former pertaining to the required budget actions by the
Council.
Article IV — This article pertains to excavations within the right of way. Apart from minor changes to the
permitting process the main change is the removal of all technical requirements enumerated in the
Code and their replacement with reference to the Standard Construction Drawings as was done with
the articles on streets and sidewalks.
Proposed Article V — This was Article VI and deals with driveways and curb cuts. As with many
previous articles the construction requirements have been removed from the Code and replaced with
the standard construction drawings. The driveway widths have been updated to match what is allowed
by Chapter 33 of the Code. Antiquated processes regarding permitting have been modified or removed.
Proposed Article VI — Ancillary Uses: this article combines what had been a number of separate articles
within the Code into a single article since they all pertain to special uses of the right of way and
infrastructure. Apart from being moved and rearranged no changes were made to the language now
contained in this section.
Proposed Article VII — As indicated previously Article VII pertains to special assessments and remains
the same except for its location within the chapter.
Proposed Article VIII — Apart from the modifications indicated previously this is for the most part what
had been Article I.
You may recall that in November the Committee was made aware of the impending issuance of
revisions to the Standard Construction Drawings. These revisions were published and made effective
on January 1, 2020. The technical specifications were also revised and released on that date. The
development of those two documents went hand in hand with the changes that have been proposed
within Chapter 32 of the Code. This means that the construction and material specifications contained
within the current Chapter 32 are at odds with what is contained in the standard drawings and technical
specifications. This is not a new phenomenon but is now more pronounced given the continued aging
of the code language.
Approval of these changes will also create the need to revoke Ordinance 7438 which set the previous
standards for drive approaches and driveways.
In the attached code document proposed language is shown in Blue Underline, deleted language is
shown in Red Strikethrough or Italic Strikethrough, and relocated language is shown in Italic.
If you have any questions I can be reached at 634-6433.

Sec. 32 10335. - Sidewalks required.
A. No permit shall be issued for the reconstruction or construction of a new building, or a building
addition, or a new or expanded parking lot, unless a sidewalk exists adjacent to the property or
unless the plans for the building or parking lot provide for the construction of such a sidewalk. The
requirements of this section shall apply to reconstruction, cumulative building additions and parking
lot expansions following adoption of this ordinance, but shall not apply to the rehabilitation or
renovation of existing buildings or parking lots, or the construction of accessory buildings. Applicants
may request a deferral of the requirement to construct sidewalks in accordance with paragraph C
below provided however that the obligation of owners of tracts with street frontages of 350 linear feet
or more shall be limited to either (1) expending at least 5% of the total project cost (i.e., site
development and building costs) toward public sidewalks; or (2) constructing at least 50 linear feet of
sidewalk, whichever is greater in cost, with the remaining obligation deferred. For this purpose,
project costs shall be estimated using the R.S. Means construction cost data services. In the event
that the application of this subsection A of this section would result in the construction of a sidewalk
which is too short to have any practical use, the Director may reduce or eliminate the requirement, or
extend the requirement to such an extent that a practical sidewalk can be built.
B. Sidewalks shall be constructed in new minor subdivisions, as defined by chapter 33, Subdivision
Code.
C. Sidewalk deferral, application.
1. Any property owner required to construct sidewalks under the provisions of subsections A and
B, above, may request a deferral of the requirement to construct sidewalks in accordance with
this subparagraph C.
2. Upon application by the owner, the Director of Planning and Protective Services (referred to
hereinafter in this chapter as "Director") may approve a deferral of sidewalks otherwise required
by subsections A and B above, as provided herein.
a. Applications for sidewalk deferral shall be completed on forms prescribed by the Director at
the time of submittal of the site plan, when site plan approval is required, or if no site plan
is required, with the building permit application. A copy of an application for a sidewalk
deferral shall be provided to each member of the City Council immediately upon its
submission.
b. A decision on the deferral will be made within ten days of application submittal. If the
Director fails to act on the application within ten days, the application will be deemed to
have been approved. The Director's decision will be transmitted, in writing, to the owner of
the property, to each member of the City Council, and lead project consultant, if applicable.
The Director shall be entitled to request additional information from the applicant as well as
to extend the time period for a decision with the consent of the applicant.
c. Appeals of the decision of the Director's decision shall be governed by paragraph E.
3. Deferrals may be applied retroactively to developments previously required to construct
sidewalks, or to new developments, when the criteria for such deferral is met.
4. Sidewalk deferrals granted for one project or time frame do not guarantee that that sidewalk will
never be required in a specific location. A location may be included in an amended sidewalk
master plan or otherwise required to construct sidewalks, as the area develops, or as conditions
change.
5. If the City has adopted a sidewalk master plan and the location is shown on the sidewalk master
plan, at the time the application is submitted, as not having sidewalks required, no sidewalks
shall be required and no deferral shall be necessary, provided that if no plan has been adopted
then all areas shall be considered to have been designated as having sidewalks required.
6. Deferrals shall be granted when the Director finds that the location is designated to have
sidewalks in the sidewalk master plan and one or more of the following conditions exist:
a. The City has plans to construct sidewalks to serve the development, or plans to widen or
reconstruct the adjacent street which would require replacement of the sidewalk within five
years of the application for waiver deferral; or
b. No curbs and gutters exist, and it is impossible to a reasonable degree of certainty to
accurately predict the line and grade of future curbs and gutters; or
c. The location is within an area zoned industrial and there currently are no sidewalks or
pedestrian generators in the area, or
d. An engineering analysis accepted by the Director demonstrates the terrain or other natural
or geographic features of the location are such that it is not reasonable to construct
sidewalks; or
e. An engineering analysis accepted by the Director demonstrates an alternate pedestrian
way within the site provides an acceptable alternative; or
f. The development is proposed as very low residential density, consisting of single family
dwellings on lots of one acre of more, provided such lots have street frontages of 350 feet
or more; or
g. The frontage is along (1) a State or federally designated route with a permitted speed in
excess of 49 mph or (ii) a local street with a permitted speed in excess of 49 mph.
h. The development was required to construct sidewalks under the terms of previously
hi. If the requirement of constructing a sidewalk as provided in this section would cause a
property to lose all value, or construction of a sidewalk will make the property unusable for
any practical purpose, or if the construction of a sidewalk would create an unusual
hardship for the owner (that is a hardship which would not be incurred by similarly situated
property owners) the Director may, upon the consent of the Public Works and Planning
Committee, grant a deferral.
7. Procedures for, and effect of, deferral.
a. If a deferral is granted, the landowner shall not be required to install sidewalks at the
present time, but shall be required to install sidewalks within 12 months of notice from the
City that sidewalks are now to be constructed and that the deferral has been terminated.
b. Construction specifications shall be those applicable at the time the notice is issued.
c. If the landowner does not construct sidewalks within 12 months of the notice, the City shall
construct such sidewalk and shall bill the landowner for the full amount of the City's costs
in doing so. If the landowner fails to pay the bill within 60 days the amount owed shall
constitute a lien against the property.
d. If a deferral is granted, the owner may as a condition of the deferral be required to grade
the area in which the sidewalk would be located in preparation for a future sidewalk.
e. If a deferral is granted, the deferral shall be considered to run with the land and any
subsequent owner shall be entitled to rely on the same as well as assuming the same
obligation to construct a sidewalk when requested to do so as provided in this chapter. The
City Clerk shall record a notice, substantially similar to the noticed set forth below, with the
County Recorder for each deferral:
Notice of Deferral
The real estate described in this Notice of Deferral was granted a deferral of the sidewalk
requirements of the City of Jefferson, Missouri on , 20_. This deferral is subject
to the conditions set forth in the City Code and are subject to change from time to time.
The granting of a deferral of the sidewalk requirements is not a permanent waiver of
sidewalk requirements for this real estate and does not mean that the sidewalk
requirements will never be imposed for this real estate. This real estate may subsequently
be included in an amended Sidewalk Master Plan or otherwise required to construct
sidewalks, as the area develops, or as conditions change. The property affected is more
particularly described as:
[set forth legal description here]
D. Appeal of Denial of Deferral.
1. The denial of a deferral by the Director may be appealed to the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
a. applicant aggrieved by the decision of the Director may file a written appeal to the Planning
and Zoning Commission, addressed to the City Clerk, within 10 days of the decision of the
Director;
b. Upon receipt of the appeal, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall schedule a hearing
on the appeal.
c. The burden of proof at the hearing shall be upon the applicant to show that the applicant is
eligible for the relief requested.
2. This decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be final.
E. Major Subdivisions. The preceding subparagraphs notwithstanding, sidewalks shall be constructed
in new Major Subdivisions (as defined by Chapter 33 Subdivision Code) as follows, unless the owner
requests, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviews and the Council approves, a variance under
(1) or (2) below. For the purposes of this Chapter, the term "new Major Subdivision" shall mean any
subdivision approved by the Council after November 20, 2007.
1. When the Council determines in a Major subdivision that, through submission of an engineering
study that includes appropriate details such as cross-sections, grading plans, and requirements
for sidewalks because of the presence of unusual circumstances or conditions, including without
limitation, topographical conditions, and that the strict application of the requirements for
sidewalks would either prevent, or present a serious obstacle to the formation of a plat for the
reasonable use and development of land, the Council may permit the owner to vary from the
requirements for sidewalks or the location thereof.
2. The Council may permit a developer to vary from the requirement for sidewalks if the
Commission determines that an Alternate Pedestrian Way Plan submitted by the developer with
the preliminary plat provides adequate access throughout the subdivision. Such a plan must
provide a continuous system of paved walkways located within easements dedicated as
pedestrian ways. The Council may require such width not to exceed ten feet and such
illumination as may be appropriate to assure safety.
F. Construction Standards.
1. Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with the following street classifications. Street
classifications and location of sidewalks on local or cul-de-sac streets shall be determined by
the Director:
Street Type
Arterial
Collector
Local commercial or commercial cul-de-sac
Residential cul-de-sac or local street
Sidewalk Requirement
Both sides
Both sides
Both sides
One side
Sidewalk Width
5 feet
5 feet
5 feet
4 feet
2. Sidewalks shall be located a minimum of three feet from the back of the curb where possible, or
other location as approved by the Director.
3. Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with the latest edition of the City of Jefferson
Standard Construction Drawings on file in the Department of Planning and—Protective
SepAGesPublic Works.
G. Time for Construction
1. The developer shall install all sidewalks, as required by this section, or by the Council pursuant
to a variance as allowed by this section, not later than two years after the date when the
abutting street is accepted or not later than five years after the first building permit is issued,
whichever comes first; provided however, that the sidewalk for each lot within a subdivision
shall be completed and approved before an occupancy permit for a structure on the lot is
issued.
2. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any building or parking lot for which a sidewalk is
required unless the sidewalk has been constructed or the property owner has provided a bond,
cash escrow or letter of credit or other instrument acceptable to the Director of Planning and
Protective Services guaranteeing construction of the sidewalk within not more than six months
of issuance of the certificate of occupancy.
H. Enforcement
1. If the sidewalks required by this section, or alternate paved walkways required by the Council
pursuant to a variance as allowed by this section, are not completed within two years from the
date abutting streets are accepted, or within five years after the first building permit is issued,
whichever comes first, the building official shall decline to issue any further permits of any type
to the developer in conjunction with the subdivision where the violation is occurring, or in
conjunction with any other activity at any location requiring permits by the building official, until
the violation is cured. In addition, the Council may impose a penalty on the developer, in an
amount not to exceed One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day for each day the violation
persists.
2. Cause the sidewalks to be completed at the City's expense, and may cause a special tax bill to
issue as to each lot within the subdivision for which the City has incurred the expense of
constructing sidewalks, in an amount of two times such expense incurred, together with the
amount of any penalties accrued under subsection a, above. Any special tax bill issued
pursuant to this subsection may be enforced in the same manner as a tax bill issued for the
improvement of a sidewalk within the City.
a. Other Recourse. Nothing within this section shall impair the ability of the City or a property
owner to seek any other recourse against a developer for failing to install sidewalks as
required by this section.

Memorandum
320 East McCarty Street • Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 • P: 573.634.6410 • F: 573,634.6562 • www.jeffersoncitymo.gov
Date: March 6, 2020
To: Public Works and Planning Committee
From: David Bange P.E., City Engineer
Subject: Bicentennial Bridge
This memo provides an informational update on the status of the Bicentennial Bridge project.
In October of 2019 the Council entered into an agreement to provide construction oversite and
management during the Bicentennial Bridge construction in addition to the taking ownership and future
maintenance of the bridge once complete. Later on in the year it was agreed that the City would also
take on the bidding and letting of the construction project.
To that end staff has been working with Bartlett & West to move the project toward a projected
advertisement date of April 19, 2020, The tasks that need to be completed by that time include the
completion of design modifications to the bridge itself and the finalization of relocation plans with
AmerenUE. Once a contractor is selected final agreements with Union Pacific will also be required.
The goal is to have the bridge constructed by the Bicentennial Celebration to be held in August of 2021.
The biggest hurdle to seeing that goal fulfilled is the uncertainty of the river level during the year that it
will take for its construction.
The Council can anticipate seeing a construction contract for this project on an agenda as early as May
18, 2020.
Renderings of the bridge have been included with this memo.
If you have any questions I can be reached at 634-6433.

From: Britt E. Smith, P.E.
Subject: 2020 Street Resurfacing Program
Staff requests the committee's endorsement of the attached street resurfacing for the
corning year. As the committee will note, the plan includes the street scheduled for
work in the coming year as well as a working plan for streets to be considered in the
future.
in the Y2 cent sales tax the City allocates $1.2 million each year for the street
resurfacing program. To carry out this program, staff gathers information from various
sources including personal observation as well as concerns raised by citizens. Most
recently we've been able to use data from our pavement condition study. The resulting
list is then evaluated against other factors such as condition; use; ride quality; as well as
planned future projects by the city, developers and/or utility companies in an effort to
determine the most cost effective plan meeting the greatest needs.
With approval from the committee, staff intends to bid the resurfacing work in the
coming weeks. Ultimately a proposed construction contract will be brought to the full
council for approval.
