Sandra Day, Planner, presented the staff report on the Preliminary Development Plan (PDP-05-11-00) and Final Plat (PF-05-16-00) for Deerfield Woods No. 6. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval to the City Commission. The City Commission previously approved the development plan subject to seven (7) conditions. The two (2) key conditions were the prohibition of structures in the flood fringe area and how to address the continued care of common open space. The proposed development plan was revised in direct response to the limitation of development within the fringe area and was reduced from twenty-one (21) to nineteen (19) lots. The most significant change was the development portion of the plan was for 6.63 acres. Tract A and B of the plat were not part of the project as submitted by the applicant. However, staff has indicated to the applicant that these tracts were part of this PRD District. Tracts A and B needed to be included in the development plan specifically to address minimum maintenance of the lots. One of the conditions placed on the development plan by the Planning Commission was the applicant should meet with the neighborhood to develop a set of covenants to be provided with the submission of the Final Development Plan. The preliminary draft of those covenants was given to Planning Staff.
Tim Herndon, representing the applicant, said two (2) dynamics had been at work on this property since the plan was approved last January. First, the western fifty feet (50’) of electrical line easement was removed from the tract because it was under separate ownership and not sellable under the contract that was in the applicant’s possession. On the other side of the property, there was an area of ground that was flood plain and significant work in that area would result by the development of the street to the east. Re-channeling of the creek that runs through the area would have to occur in order to bring the drainage way up to hydrological standards and to support the construction of the street. In addition, the applicant was prohibited by the City Commission from placing any structures in the flood plain. Because of these changes to the plan, a rehearing on this issue was warranted. The development met all the requirement of City Ordinances and requested the City Commission concur with the Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation.
Hodges asked about the density of the project.
Day said the density was the maximum of seven (7) units per acre.
Judy Sweets, 2905 Moccasin, opposed the proposed development plan because of the historical significance of the property. The property was historically significant because the original owner was Dr. John Doy. This area provided important green space for the neighborhood and this development would destroy that green space. She suggested the City should buy and maintain the forest as open space.
Richard Sheridan, 1745 Louisiana, requested additional time to study the area to find the location of Doy’s original cabin. He requested a historical marker be placed at that location.
Mel Wedermyer, 3008 Bentley Ct., opposed the project because of the potential for additional flooding in the area. More developed land would bring additional problems to an area already facing flooding problems.
Frank Taylor, 504 Regents, expressed a concern about additional flooding in the area. He presented a schematic drawing of the area showing the creek and the potential flooding problems. The area faced a serious flooding situation and was not being addressed by the plan.
Dale Rummer, 3023 West 8th St., expressed a concern about the high voltage line running adjacent to this project and the shock hazards and other hazards associated with high voltage transmission lines. There was a health and safety issue with people living too close to these lines. He recommended deferral of the plat and development plan pending clarification of the health, safety and welfare issues associated with transmission lines. He asked the City Commission to order KPL to do a study on the impact of high voltage lines in Lawrence. Rummer offered assistance in the study of this issue.
Pat Kells, 511 Regents, presented a photograph of the electrical field adjacent to this power line. She expressed a concern about additional flooding in the area and supported a KPL study about the hazards associated with transmission lines. Kells requested the City Commission study the entire drainage area with the developer correcting any potential problems for the area.
Jan Maddox, 510 Regents, expressed a concern about flooding in the area. She said it was time for the developers to pay for the problems they caused, not only on their development, but for the entire area. These infrastructure improvements should be in place prior to the development to avoid situations like Deerfield Creek.
Carol Smith, 519 Regents, said the proposed development violated most of the guidelines found in Horizon 2020. She reviewed the goals of Horizon 2020 and the impact the project would have on green space, traffic safety, stormwater and preserving historical sites. Smith requested a deferral for additional study on this development.
Scott Lingelbach, 3202 Taylor, said the project barely meets the minimum requirements of the Ordinances. The project was going to cause significant problems for the area and City tax payers at large. The proposed development has a lot of potential problems that needed to be addressed in the future.
Jeff Reinhard, 4600 Merion Ct., said he did not live in the area, but was impressed by the technical information presented by the neighbors. It was important for people who were not living to the project to express concerns about potential problems. He opposed the development.
Walt Houk, 3200 Taylor, opposed the proposed development plan and the project because of the impact it would have on the historical significance of the area, the flooding problems and the impact the power lines would have on people living in the development. He thought it was important to keep people away from the creek and power lines. This was wrong project for this piece of ground. The best use of this ground was for a park and suggested this project needed months of further study.
Rundle asked about the structures overlapping the electrical easement.
Herndon said KPL does allow some overlap of buildings into the easements. This typically involved up to twenty four inches (24”) to thirty inches (30”) of overhang by eaves. Specific procedures needed to follow to allow encroachment. On the flooding issue, Herndon said this development was responsible for approximately one percent (1%) of the ground in the drainage area. The woods being talked about by the neighbors were mostly off-site from this project. This area has been plowed for years and has not yielded any significant historical findings. The applicant would be willing to facilitate a marker for any historical property located in the development. In addition, they would be willing to change the name of the street to John Doy Drive. There was no evidence showing people were in danger because of the power lines and any encroachment of the easement. Herndon reminded the City Commission of the unanimous decision of the Planning Commission and requested the City Commission concur with approval of the Preliminary Development Plan and the Plat.
Rundle asked if it was a benefit to the City to purchase part of the area to maintain the area as open space for storm drainage purposes.
Chad Voigt, Stormwater Engineer, said he would not recommend purchase of the property. He did not see any advantage to the City maintaining this area as open drainage and recommended the property stay in private ownership with maintenance provided by the owner.
Dunfield asked about the impact of the development to property downstream.
Voigt said this development would have minimal impact on the flow of the stream. Detention was not required because the water should get in and out before the peak load arrived in the area.
Hodges asked what constituted green or open space.
Day said the proposed development met the requirements by having twenty percent (20%) open space. This open space did not need to be communal open space.
Hodges asked about the two (2) lots that were lost because of not building in the flood plain.
Herndon said those lots were added to other lots to provide open space and a drainage way for the project.
Voight suggested some changing of the property lines to accommodate potential flooding in the creek. That was not a function of staff in review of the project, but the City Commission could encourage the changing of those lines.
Henry expressed concern about the proposed project because of flooding, potential problems with the power lines, and density of the project. He thought the area was being over developed. Henry said this was the wrong development for this particular area. The density was particularly a problem.
Dunfield said he was struggling with the proposal. On the one hand, the development plan met all the criteria of the City and did not think it was appropriate to make new policy or redesign development plans at the City Commission level. On the other hand, he saw some potential problems caused by the development and wanted to continue discussion on the idea of redefining the property lines. Dunfield did not see a reason to deny the Preliminary Development Plan.
Rundle suggested a deferral to see if some of the ideas presented by the stormwater engineer could be incorporated into the plan.
Hodges asked what would be gained by deferral. He had concerns about the development, but all the requirements were met including density, the electrical easements and stormwater.
Rundle asked if the City Commission could change the lot lines.
Linda Finger, Planning Director, said it would be better for the applicant to propose those changes.
Henry suggested continuing this issue for a week to allow staff to continue to work with the applicant to see if the stormwater issues could be addressed.
Dunfield suggested the historical significance of the ground being owned by John Doy be explored and what the applicant proposed if it was a historically significant site.
Finger recommended a two (2) week delay in order to work on these issues.
Moved by Rundle, seconded by Hodges, to defer the decision on the Preliminary Development Plan and Final Plat for Deerfield Woods No. 6, for two (2) weeks. Aye: Dunfield, Hodges and Rundle. Nay: Henry. Motion carried. (18)
Sandra Day, Planner, presented the Preliminary Development Plan for McDonald’s Restaurant to be located at the northwest corner of the intersection of West 33rd and Iowa Street. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. One of the conditions was to provide a traffic study detailing the feasibility and effectiveness of a traffic signal and/or roundabout at 33rd Street and Neider Road for review by the Public Works Department.
Dunfield asked about the report from the Public Works Department on their recommendations.
George Williams, Public Works Director, said his memorandum identified two (2) alternatives because no long-term solution was proposed to address the problems at the intersection. Williams said the intersection was failing for left turns. For the short term, he recommended the developer either sign an agreement not-to-protest the benefit district for improvements to 33rd Street, between Iowa and Four Wheel Drive including the intersections of Iowa, Neider Road and Four Wheel Drive or provide additional right-of-way and easements for a roundabout as recommended by Landplan Engineering. In addition, Williams recommended acknowledgment by the developer in writing and a note be placed on the development plan, the City has a right to manage traffic along 33rd Street and should operational and/or safety problems develop in the future, the City may construct a median along 33rd Street.
Rundle asked if this was a part of a larger PCD.
Linda Finger, Planning Director, said no, it was rezoned as a separate PCD.
Dan Watkins, representing the applicant, said there were several issues that needed to be addressed with this PCD. In this area there were fifty (50) acres of PCD of which this was a one (1) acre site. It would be unfair for the City to expect McDonald’s Restaurant to solve all of the traffic problems at this intersection. He presented substitute wording for the Planning Commission’s recommendations No. 2 and No. 3. These conditions dealt with the formation of a benefit district which outlined that McDonald’s would not be a single member district and if McDonald’s provided easements for construction of improvements, they would not require other site changes due to any compliance with Building or Zoning Ordinances the dedications may create. The concern was if additional right-of-way was needed, it would change setbacks and other requirements which could alter the development plan.
Rundle asked if there were agreements not-to-protest from other property owners in the area.
Finger said none at the present time. Other land was in the process of being developed and the City should be able to get additional agreements at that time.
Watkins requested the condition proposed by Public Works Department to use the City’s police power to install a median was not needed because that was an obvious conclusion.
Finger recommended adding that wording because sometimes the obvious becomes not so obvious in the future.
Hodges spoke against a median because that would not solve the problem other than to pass traffic to other intersections in the area.
Rundle asked the likelihood of initiating a petition to form a benefit district for intersection improvements.
Mike Wildgen, City Manager, said at this time ordering a benefit district did not appear to be a viable option.
Rundle supported amending Conditions No. 2 and No. 3 from the Planning Commission and adding Condition No. 10 as recommended by the Public Works Department.
Moved by Dunfield, seconded by Rundle, to approve the revised Preliminary Development Plan (PDP-3-9-00) for McDonald’s Restaurant to be located northwest of the intersection of West 33rd and Iowa Streets, subject to the following conditions including amending Condition No. 2 and No. 3, subject to review by legal staff and the addition of a 10th Condition as recommended by the Public Works Department:
1. Provision of:
a. A note on the face of the Final Development Plan that states: “The developer shall be responsible for all necessary signal changes [to the intersection of 33rd Street and Iowa Street] and equipment required to implement the recommended right-turn phases, as discussed in the TIS”;
b. Timing plans per approval of the Traffic Engineer;
2. Execution of an agreement not-to-protest formation of a benefit district for improvement to 33rd Street between Iowa and Four Wheel Drive, including the intersections of Iowa, Neider Road and Four Wheel Drive with a provision that the benefit district will include other members and not be a single member district;
3. Provision of right-of-way (per LandPlan drawing) and easements needed for construction of a roundabout at 33rd Street and Neider Road if a benefit district is formed for such construction, with City agreement that such right-of-way and easement grants and changes will not require other site improvements or changes due to any noncompliance with City Building and Zoning Ordinances such grants and changes may create;
4. Approval by City and KDOT staff of the West 33rd and Iowa Streets Intersection Improvement Project plans;
5. Execution of a Site Plan Performance Agreement;
6. Provision of a Revised Landscape Plan for the area along South Iowa per staff approval;
7. Provision of a revised plan to include details of proposed segmental block retaining wall and trash enclosure and provision of a note to state that screen all mechanical equipment shall be screened in accordance with Section 20-14A04;
8. Provision of a revised plan to show that the existing curb cut along 33rd Street shall be removed and new curb and gutter line installed;
9. Approval of the reduced pavement setback from 30’ to 25’ along the east property line; and,
10. The developer acknowledge in writing and a note be placed on the Development Plan, that the City has the right to manage traffic along 33rd Street and should operational and/or safety problems develop in the future, the City may construct a median along 33rd Street.
Motion carried unanimously. (19)
Mike Wildgen, City Manager, presented the staff report on the proposed 2001 City Budget. The budget reflected the adjustments presented by the City Commission at the June 30, 2000 Study Session. The most significant changes were the County estimated assessed valuation was lowered approximately $2,000,000.00 and the City used a rate of approximately 2.5% for delinquencies and the actual delinquency rate was closer to 3%. The effect on the mill rate was to increase it slightly to 23.885. The mill levy for the year 2000 was 24.512. Wildgen recommended the City Commission direct staff to publish a hearing for August 8, 2000, on the proposed budget.
Wildgen presented information for an additional animal control officer as presented by the City Commission and the impact it would have on the budget.
Wildgen said the City Commission would also have to set a hearing for the proposed budget adjustment for the golf course for the 2000 budget.
Moved by Hodges, seconded by Rundle, to direct staff to publish a notice of hearing for August 8, 2000, on the proposed 2001 City Budget. Motion carried unanimously. (20)
Moved by Hodges, seconded by Rundle, to direct staff to publish a notice of hearing for the 2000 Budget Adjustment for the golf course on August 8, 2000. Motion carried unanimously. (21)
Mike Wildgen, City Manager, presented the staff report on the Police Department Tow Bid. These were the tows that were authorized by City staff, including the Police Department and other departments such as the Public Works Department. The recommendation was to award the bid to Transmasters Towing for the remainder of the year and direct staff to prepare new specifications for the year 2001 service.
Moved by Hodges, seconded by Dunfield , to award the bid to TransMasters Towing for the remainder of the calendar year for City tows and direct staff to repair new specifications for the year 2001 service. Motion carried unanimously. (22)
Mayor Henry called a public hearing on the proposed debt financing of the parking garage in the 900 block of New Hampshire.
Upon receiving no public comment, it was moved by Hodges, seconded by Rundle, to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. (23)
The City Commission concurred to defer for one (1) week the site plan for the redevelopment of the 900 Block of New Hampshire. (24)
Dave Corliss, Assistant City Manager, presented Resolution No. 6204 concerning the KPL rate issues.
J. Chaffee, 1500 Kentucky, said the City of Wichita knew the implications on the rates when the new power plant was built. They should be held responsible for their actions at that time. She did not think it would be appropriate for the Lawrence area to now pay for that power facility.
Moved by Rundle, seconded by Hodges, to adopt Resolution No. 6204, concerning KPL rate changes. Motion carried unanimously. (25)
Dunfield requested staff develop a written report on the stormwater issues and possible solutions for Deerfield Woods No. 6. In addition, he requested staff ask KPL to address their policy on electrical easements for transmission lines and any encroachments to those easements. The City Commission concurred.
The City Commission concurred to continue the discussion on rental housing issues as a regular agenda item at a time designated by the Mayor.
Moved by Hodges, seconded by Dunfield , to adjourn at 9:10 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
