The bill, having received majority approval, was adopted, and became Ordinance No. 6909 of the City of Clayton. AN ORDINANCE RELEASING RESTRICTION INDENTURES FOR THE PROPERTIES ADDRESSED 7701 AND 7733 FORSYTH BOULEVARD

City Manager Gipson reported that the buildings known as Pierre Laclede Center were constructed in 1963 (7701 Forsyth Boulevard) and 1970 (7733 Forsyth Boulevard). At that time the city required that the uses and parking comply with provisions of the C-3 Office Commercial Zoning District and the property owner recorded restriction indentures to this effect for each property with the St. Louis County Recorder of Deeds. A new owner has recently purchased Pierre Laclede Center and has requested that the City release the indentures and regulate the property using the current zoning regulations. Review of the current zoning requirements compared to the C-3 District shows minor differences, which are not likely to impact the function or operation of the Pierre Laclede Center. Table 1: Zoning District Comparison, on the following page, highlights how some of the wording has changed with the modern zoning code, but the requirements are substantially similar.

Table 1: Zoning District Comparison, on the following page, highlights how some of the wording has changed with the modern zoning code, but the requirements are substantially similar. Staff does not believe continuation of the deed restrictions enhances the city’s regulatory ability or is necessary to serve any current or foreseeable city land use regulatory objectives for these existing buildings.

Alderman Buse seconded. City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 7049, second reading, an Ordinance Authorizing Release of Restrictive Indentures for the Properties Addressed 7701 and 7733 Forsyth Boulevard by title only.

Further discussion with residents, staff, and aldermen led to a request for staff to develop traffic calming options for resident feedback. Public Works presented several alternatives, including speed tables and raised crosswalks, along with cost estimates and examples of similar installations. The residents who initiated the concern have shared the options with neighbors for input. The preferred option, mid-block speed tables between Alamo Avenue and San Bonita Avenue, is estimated to cost $11,000–$15,000. This cost is not included in the FY25 Budget. In considering the resident requested improvements, the Board of Aldermen has the following options:

• Make no improvements to the roadway. • Amend the FY25 Budget to include a traffic calming project in the current year. • Direct staff to include a traffic calming project in the FY26-FY30 Capital Improvements Plan. Matt Malick, Director of Public Works and Rich Wilburn, Public Works Principle Civil Engineer, were in attendance to answer questions. Motion made by Alderman McAndrew to include Option #2 – to amend the FY25 Budget to include the traffic calming project in the current year. Alderman Buse seconded. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote. DISCUSSION ON THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH EVENT PROJECT COSTS. Gary Carter, Director of Economic Development, provided a PowerPoint presentation to the Board on a proposed Black History Month event project. DISCUSSION ON THE MARYLAND AVENUE BIKE LANE MARKINGS

12-10-2024 BOA Minutes December 10, 2024 Page 5 of 5

City Manager Gipson reported that the parking-protected bike lane along Maryland Avenue was designed in 2020 and installed in 2021. Through discussions with the Board of Aldermen during the bike lane design, it was decided that the durable green markings made with MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) to supplement the bike lane at crossing areas would not be installed to allow flexibility and cost savings if the city decided to revert to the original configuration.

In response to a recent inquiry from the Board of Aldermen, City staff identified the bike lane related items from the original bid tab and updated the unit costs for pavement markings along the Maryland bike lane.

Matt Malick, Director of Public Works, addressed the Board to answer questions.

Motion made by Alderman McAndrew to spend $10,000 to implement a plan for bike lane markings on Maryland Avenue, including additional bike symbols. Alderman Buse seconded.

The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.

Motion made by Alderman McAndrew to adjourn the meeting. Alderman Buse seconded.

The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.

There being no further discussion the Board adjourned at 10:10 p.m.
