6. New Business – Public Hearing
Case No. B20008 – 1853 & 1857 Cedar Ridge Rd.; Setback Variance. Application filed by
Kent Bentlage Construction Company Inc., property owner, for a 10-foot variance the to the 25-
foot rear setback of the RD district to permit a 15-foot rear setback for two separate lots.
Mr. Barron explained that the two properties are undeveloped lots within an existing subdivision.
The property owner is requesting a 10-foot variance to the 25-foot rear setback to permit a 15-
foot rear setback for both lots. The subdivision was platted in 2001. At that time the City
purchased a strip of property along the rear of these and other lots to accommodate a future
Greenway connection. The purchase changed the depth of the original lots and the owner at that
time requested that the City support a future request for a rear setback variance.
Mr. Paul Sampson- 2500 East McCarty, with Central Missouri Professional Services, stated that
the lots have remained vacant for quite a while. The contractors now have time and would like to
develop the lots.
Mr. Barron gave the staff report and stated the setback variance is requested in order to permit
development of the two properties. This development would be in keeping with the neighborhood
and the surrounding properties. A rear setback variance would not negatively impact the
development of the planned Greenway connection.
Mr. Crabtree moved and Ms. Keating seconded to approve the requested variance of 10 feet from
the standard 25-foot rear setback to permit a rear setback of 15 feet. The motion passed 5-0 with
the following roll call vote:
Aye: Hake, Crabtree, Lacy, Seaver and Keating.
Nay: None.
