6. New Business/Public Hearing
Case No. P22009 1200 Block of West Stadium Boulevard, Rezoning from C-O to C-
2 and RA-1 and Final Subdivision Plat.
Request filed by Twehous Excavating Company Inc., property owner, for a rezoning of
0.61 acres from C-O Office Commercial to C-2 General Commercial, rezoning 0.22
acres from C-O/C-2 to RA-1, and a final subdivision plat consisting of 4.52 acres
proposing three lots. The purpose of rezoning is to establish a zoning designation for a
portion of the property which permits veterinary clinics. The property is located 380 feet
south of the intersection of West Edgewood Drive and West Stadium Boulevard and is
described as Part of the East Half of Northwest Quarter of Section 14, Township Range
44 North, Range 12 West, in the City of Jefferson, Missouri. (Central Missouri
Professional Services, Consultant).
Ms. Bliss stated the applicant is requesting to rezone three commercial lots from C-O to
C-2 and C-O and C-2 to RA-1. The applicant is also requesting approval of the Final
Subdivision Plat for the Ridgecrest Section Three.
Consultant for property owner Twehous Excavating, Paul Samson, with CMPS,
presented the case. Section three of Ridgecrest Subdivision includes three commercial
lots ranging from 1.3-1.5 acres. There are no proposed right-of-way’s that will be plotted
with this. All lots will have access to W est Stadium Blvd. On the plat, there are two
locations where existing driveways will be used for access to the site.
Mr. Wade advised storm water drainage and sanitary sewer are already in place for the
commercial portion of this subdivision. Sidewalks exist along a portion of Stadium Blvd
where developments have occurred and will be required along Stadium Blvd as the lots
develop. No infrastructure plans are needed at this time. A drive entrance plan was
submitted for review for lots 90 & 91. Stadium Blvd is an existing arterial two-lane
roadway with room for a center turn lane in the future. Stormwater quality and erosion
control will need to be considered on a lot by lot basis as the remaining lots develop.
Street lights and fire hydrants are already in place.
Ms. Bliss stated that staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning and final
subdivision plat request.
Ms. Cotten moved and Ms. Hawk seconded a motion to recommend approval of the
request to rezone the property from C-O to C-2 and C-O and C-2 to RA-1.
The motion passed 5-0-1 with the following votes:
Aye: Quigg, Cotten, Hawk, Young, and Vogt.
Nay: None.

Case No. P22010 – 900 Block of Emily Lane, Voluntary Annexation and Zoning
Plan.
Request filed by Mark and Julie Gerlach, property owners, for the following:
1. Voluntary annexation of 3.39 acres
2. Approval of a zoning plan for the property to be zoned RA-1 High Density
Residential.
The property is located 900 feet northwest of the Emily Lane terminus and is described
as Part of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 8, Township 44
North, Range 12 West, in the City of Jefferson, Missouri. (Central Missouri Professional
Services, Consultant).
Ms. Bliss stated that the property owner has submitted a request to annex the property
into city limits of the City of Jefferson with a RA-1 High Density Residential zoning
designation. The property owner hopes to utilize city utilities for future development. Mr.
Barron advised the role of the Planning and Zoning Commission is to recommend a
zoning district for the property upon annexation approval by the City Council. RA-1
zoning would allow up to 4 units per building, multiple units could be put on the property.
A preliminary plat will be submitted at a later date with further details on the dead end of
Emily Lane.
Consultant for property owners Mark and Julie Gerlach, Paul Samson with CMPS,
presented the case. The Gerlach’s purchased the property with a goal of multi-family
development on the property, similar to the other properties on Emily Lane.
Area resident Caroline Bartel at 4679 Tanman Ct, spoke about the request. Ms. Bartel
had questions about the plans to extend Emily Lane and tree clearing in the area in
relation to the back of her property. Mr. Barron advised there is a creek in the area and
city code requires a riparian corridor along major creeks. Mr. Wade advised the
minimum riparian area that is required to remain is 25 feet along the creek bank/ordinary
high-water mark of the creek. There’s also an additional 35 feet for building setback. All
of this would be reviewed during the site plan.
Ms. Bliss stated the staff recommends approval of the requested voluntary annexation
and zoning plan.
Ms. Cotton moved and Mr. Markus seconded a motion to recommend approval of the
zoning plan establishing a RA-1 High Density Residential zoning designation for the
property upon annexation.
The motion passed 6-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Quigg, Cotten, Hawk, Markus, Young, and Vogt.
Nay: None
Case No. P22011 – Algoa Industrial Area; Staff Initiated Rezoning from M-1
(withdrawn by staff)
Mr. Barron advised notices were mailed out to property owners in the area. Comments
received back inquired if this would raise property taxes and others focused on the
history of the area and why the M-1 district was chosen over the M-2. Many of the
industrial lots within in the are have deed restrictions on them that only permit the
properties to be used as indoor industrial type uses. The city is not responsible for
enforcing deed restrictions, but it became apparent to staff that the deed restrictio ns
played a heavy part in the decision on what zoning district to apply at the time of
annexation in 2003. Because this information was contrary to what was presented last
month at the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting, staff felt it proper to withdra w
the case.
7. Other New Business
8. Other Business

Mr. Barron advised case P22008 at 309-311 Bolivar Street has been introduced and is

working with consultants Crafton Tull and LaneShift, have started the process of
updating and replacing the 2016 Capital Area Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan and
integrating other recently completed plans in the area. The planning process is expected
to be completed by fall 2023. Ms. Williams encouraged everyone to complete the survey
and participate in public engagement events.
Ms. Quigg asked Mr. Birch about the rules for members missing several meetings. Mr.
Birch requested Ms. Quigg to follow up with him via e-mail and he will look at the city
code further on this topic.
