AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Public hearing and consider an ordinance to rezone property from A-1; Agricultural District Permit for property located at 2025 E. MacArthur. (Applicant: Robert and Alethia Woodmore) Continued from February 19, 2008
Vice Mayor Peterson declared a public hearing in session to consider an ordinance to rezone property located at 2025 E. MacArthur.
Nancy McNayr gave the staff report regarding the rezoning application for this property. Ms. McNayr discussed the location and the technical issues required. Ms. McNayr indicated that city staff recommended this rezoning with additional considerations such as a brick wall to buffer the proposed business from residential areas. Ms. McNayr also noted that the Planning Commission recommended denial of this rezoning. A petition with the names of residents in the area of this rezoning has been filed with the City Clerk. The petition cites concerns of increased traffic, noise and trash in the area if this rezoning is approved. It was noted by Ms. McNayr that only 25-30% of the names on the petition were obtained from residents within the 300’ legal radius.
Vice Mayor Peterson asked if any persons wished to speak in favor of or in protest of the rezoning. The applicant, Robert Woodmore, spoke regarding his plans to make this business an “upscale” facility and expressed his willingness to work out the issues with the homeowners. Mr. Woodmore also pointed out other commercial businesses in the area.
Those speaking against this rezoning were Fred Ernst, Will Walker and Don Weir.
Before asking for a motion, Vice Mayor Peterson noted that the existing commercial businesses in the area were annexed into the City several years ago, along with residential areas.
A motion was made by Commissioner Schrzan, seconded by Commissioner Holt, to deny rezoning request for property located at 2025 E. MacArthur. Motion carried 5-0.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Public hearing and consider preliminary plat for Woodmore Addition located at 2025 E. MacArthur. (Applicant: Robert Woodmore)
Ms. McNayr noted that this property still has to be rezoned and platted in order to be developed. The Planning Commission has deferred their recommendation of the preliminary plat to their April 2, 2008 meeting. A motion was made by Commissioner Schrzan, seconded by Commissioner Young, to defer consideration of the preliminary plat for Woodmore Addition located at 2025 E. MacArthur until April 7, 2008. Motion carried 5-0.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Public hearing and consider final plat for Woodmore Addition located at 2025 E. MacArthur. (Applicant: Robert Woodmore)
A motion was made by Commissioner Young, seconded by Commissioner Stephens, to defer the final plat for Woodmore Addition located at 2025 E. MacArthur until April 7, 2008 City Commission meeting. Motion carried 5-0.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9: Public hearing and consider an ordinance to rezone property from R-1; Residential to C-3; Automotive, Commercial and Recreation for property located at 2555 N. Harrison. (Applicant: Mark and Catherine Sehorn)
Vice Mayor Peterson declared a public hearing in session to consider an ordinance to rezone property located at 2555 N. Harrison.
No one appeared to speak in favor of or in protest of the rezoning. No formal written protests were filed with City Clerk’s Office. Nancy McNayr noted that the Shawnee Future Land Use Plan Map designates the western 10 acre tract of the subject property for residential/commercial uses. A vacant 10 acre tract east of the subject site is currently zoned A-1, Agricultural. The Planning Commission recommends approval of this zoning application. Staff considers the proposed rezoning to C-3; Automotive and Commercial Recreation District to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map and recommends approval with the following Technical Issues required:
TECHNICAL ISSUES:
1. The subject property is currently not platted in a lot and block configuration. The Shawnee Subdivision Regulations require that property be platted in accordance with the Subdivision Regulations prior to development. A Preliminary Plat covering the entire 20 acre tract (under one (1) ownership) must be submitted with an appropriate Final Plat prior to development of any portion of the tract.
2. The subject site abuts residential property (zoned R-1) on the north. Appropriate sight proof screening will be required.
3. As part of any subdivision process, Building Permit, or Zoning Clearance Permit sidewalks, fencing, lighting, and landscaping will be required as per Shawnee Codes.

A motion was made by Commissioner Young, seconded by Commissioner Stephens, to approve the final plat technical issues 1-9. Motion carried 5-0.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18: Consider acceptance of a sanitary sewer easement being granted by the developers of Shawnee Mission Plaza, Section 8.
A motion was made by Commissioner Young, seconded by Commissioner Holt, to accept sanitary sewer easement being granted by the developer of Shawnee Mission Plaza, Section 8. Motion carried 5-0.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19: Discuss and consider request from Rentzel Pump Manufacturing concerning exemptions from the City of Shawnee Fire Code and Subdivision Regulations and/or funding the extension of a 12” water line to the Rentzel Pump property.
Fire Chief Jimmy Gibson outlined staff’s position regarding a request for exemptions to the Shawnee Fire Code and Subdivision Regulations from Mr. Roger Cude of Rentzel Pump Manufacturing. Chief Gibson stated he does not feel that exemptions should be given when considering life/safety issues. Chief Gibson said the Fire Code is very clear that no exceptions could be considered.
Mr. Cude then addressed the Commission to ask for consideration of this request or, alternatively, for the City to fund the cost of the extension of a 12” water line to the property. Mr. Cude discussed the possibility of constructing an 8,000 gallon test well which he would also provide to area residents if needed.
Vice Mayor Peterson and Commissioner Stephens both stressed that they did not feel the City could grant exemptions to the Fire Code.
In an effort to find a possible solution, several ideas were discussed with Mr. Cude. City Manager Collard suggested Mr. Cude contact the Shawnee Economic Development Foundation to schedule a Fiscal Impact Tool (FIT) assessment with Dr. Mark Snead of Oklahoma State University.
Vice Mayor Peterson suggested the City Attorney to research whether the Rentzel Pump property could be considered an assessment district. This would allow the City to construct the water line and place a lien on the property until repayment is made.
A motion was made by Commissioner Young, seconded by Commissioner Stephens, to deny the request from Rentzel Pump Manufacturing concerning exemptions to the Fire Code and Subdivision Regulations and defer taking action on the request for funding assistance. Motion carried 5-0.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20: Consider approval of Agreement with the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center Trust for Jail Services.

The Board of Trustees of the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center Trust approved the contract at their last board meeting. The contract term is for the balance of this remaining fiscal year and will not expire until June 30, 2009.
A motion was made by Commissioner Young, seconded by Commissioner Holt, to approve Agreement with the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center Trust for Jail Services. Motion carried 5-0.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 21: Discuss and consider purchase of property from Saint Gregory’s University on West Independence.
This item was placed on the agenda at the request of Commissioner Schrzan. He has attended meetings of the Soccer Association and was surprised by Mr. Low and Mr. Warren’s comments under Citizen’s Participation stating they did not want the City to purchase the property at this time. Commissioner Schrzan stated he thought the Soccer Association was in agreement with this request. He also noted the time and effort the city staff and attorney have put into this potential purchase.
Mr. Low addressed the Commission again stating they meant no disrespect to Commissioner Schrzan. He stated the Soccer Association is concerned that if the City purchases the property it becomes a “city” park which would make it available for everyone who wishes to use it, even if they have games scheduled. The group also has questions regarding upkeep responsibilities.
A motion was made by Commissioner Young, seconded by Commissioner Schrzan, to defer consideration of the purchase of property from Saint Gregory’s University on West Independence to the April 21, 2008 City Commission meeting. Motion carried 5-0.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 22: Transfer of Budget Between Departments and/or Projects Capital Improvements Fund 301.
