DISCUSSION OF ANNEXATION ZONING - HUNT (We~t sid~ Belcher Rd.
south of Drew St) - P&Z Bd. Public HearinQ Feb. 27, 1968 -
Prior to the Public Hearing before the Board set for 1:30 P. M.
on Feb. 27/68 the Board held prelimi~ary discussion of this proposed
annexation ,a~__legally described in Petition for Annexation filed Jan 8/
-... ----.~ ..........--.-.
.68 by Geo. A~ Hunt, Jr. et" al (copy of Planning Office record). Ref-
e=,ence annexation map-drawings were pas,sed to members, showing request
for City R-4'~ Multiple Dwelling, and RB, Heavy Business, zoning (exist-
ing County Zoning R-5 and Commercial). Mr. Wolle explained the zoning
plan and street layout, pointing out the extension of Cleveland Street
to Belcher approximately through the center of the tract.
The request was discussed with consideration being given to the'
following points of information:
The existing uses on the opposite (north) side of Drew. Street
and on Belcher to the east were similar to uses permitted in the
requested HB classification.
The strip of R-4 zoning, varying from 220 ft. to .250 ft. in depth,
(on west section of tract) could be recognized as a buffer for the
residential section along Neptune Ave. The owner would have the
responsibility of creating his own buffer on the north to his
apartment usage.
Development under HE zoning offered the potential to make this
a functional core as a warehousing and distribution center along
a through County artery' (Belcher Road).
Upon inquiry made as to whether he thought what the developers are pro-
\"'f1)
posing was good zoning and not detrimental to long-range goals and plan-
ning, the Planner advised that in prior discussion with the developers
he had expressed the hope that Professional and Related Services zoning

would be considered for the Dre\oJ Street frontage and had indicated that
~ there should 1')0 ganeral buniness zonina on the second section (to the
east of the area intended for apartment usage). He reported that the
applicants had offered no comment as to acceptance of these suggestions
and added that the proposed plan of zoning under one ownership is not as
much risk. Some members expressed the opinion that the Drew Street
frontage perhaps should have a more restricted zoning than HB.
Chairman Kruse suggested that members visit the annexation site
and ,deferred further discussion until after the Board's uublic hearinq.
It was confirmed that the City Co~nission public hearing was scheduled
for March 4 and that the Board's recommendation was to be submitted
prior to that date.

Feb. 9/68 for Board recommendation. The Chairman presented content of
the Planner's written study report dated Feb. 9/68 submitted upon re-
quest for the Manager (copy of agenda record). Board restudy of the
Hercules-Marilyn area of request (3.46 acresM. O. L.),and review of the
land use and zoning considerations involved, revealed a consensus that
the proposed usage as a site for a vehicle inspection station should not
be acceptable.
In formal action, upon motion by Mr. Butler, seconded by Mr. Reade,
the Board voted unanimously to recommend disaDproval of the proposed use
of the property reauested ~o be annexed by Charles RutenberRror a

tained in zoning oermitting residential use onlv.

tion. He clarified that the existing R-4 was to become R-4 D without
any changes.
Mr. Kruse reported that he had reviev/ed the schedule with Mr. Wolle

discuss it, and that at their conference decision was made to delay the
public hearing on individual rezoning requests to March 25 and to set
a public hearing on ordinance change i terns' only for March 18.
Mr. Kruse led off a discussion of minimum gross floor area shown in
the R-~ A category with recommendation that the 600 sq. ft. for 1 bedroom
apartment and 750 sq. ft. for 2 bedroom apartment permitted was too low
and should be increased to 750 sq. ft. and 900 sq. ft.) respectivelys
based o~ comparisons he and Mr. Mylander had worked out with floor areas
in the Handalay Shores Apartments and inquiry made to an area realtor.
Mr. Iley proposed that these increases \~ere too high and not realistic.

Drove revisions in the minimum gross floor area in the R_lJ A cateeorv to

frontage on Missouri Ave. (on the w~st boundary).
Mr. Wolle presented applicatfon with information that

and that it was the intent.of the applicant to vacate the platted area
south of Lotus Path. Mr. Wolle explained that the request had been
filed for PUD without designation of classification (R or el), but
that it was assumed to be for PUD-R and he was asking for Board recom-
mendation on a PUD-R request (this he said he would later confirm with
the applicant). The application was reviewed with consideration being
given to surrounding land use and zoning and to the buffer type zoning
under a controlled 'plan of development that would be provided by pun
zoning. ~Eon mo~ion by Mr, Galloway, seconded by Mr. Mvlander, ~he
Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of requested change to
PUD-R zoning (Case Z-35-268).
