AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE APPOINTMENTS TO THE DANIELE COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (CID) BOARD OF DIRECTORS
City Manager Owens reported that on February 12, 2013 the City of Clayton created the Daniele Community Improvement District (CID) for the property located at 216 N. Meramec Avenue, now operating as a Hampton Inn & Suites. The CID imposes an additional 1% sales tax on the hotel (including hotel room, restaurant and gift shop sales) and an additional $3.00 per occupied room per night special assessment. The CID uses the revenues from the sales tax and special assessment to reimburse the Developer for certain eligible redevelopment costs totaling $2,250,000.
The CID is governed by a five-member board of directors appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the Board of Aldermen. Only registered voters residing within the CID and the authorized representatives of property owners within the CID may be appointed to the Board of Directors. In this case, the Developer is the sole property owner within the CID. The initial Board of Directors of the CID is as follows: Michael Manna
2 year term Conor Pandl
2 year term John Kudla
2 year term Michael Mullenix
3 year term Greg Mullenix
3 year term The CID is requesting that Michael Manna and Conor Pandl be reappointed and that their terms expire February 12, 2018. The CID is requesting that Kevin Chapman be appointed in place of John Kudla and that his term expire February 12, 2018. Finally, the CID is requesting that Greg Mullenix and Michael Mullenix be reappointed and that their terms expire February 12, 2019.
Recommendation is to approve the ordinance.
Outdoor dining to accommodate 16 patrons will be considered by staff at a later date. A liquor license will be required and considered by the Board of Aldermen at a later date.

Deliveries to the restaurant will be made in the morning to the rear of the building. Trash will be stored in existing dumpsters located in the rear of the building. The applicant intends to participate in a recycling program.
Because the restaurant is greater than 3,000-square-feet, off-street parking must be provided at a rate of three parking spaces for every five seats on a pro-rated percentage for the square footage in excess of 3,000. Eleven parking spaces are required for this restaurant. Five off-street parking spaces are provided on-site, which, according to the applicant/restaurant owner, will be used by employees. The applicant is contracting with Clayton Valet to provide parking valet service to patrons and is requesting a parking waiver for off-street parking requirements.
The Plan Commission considered this request at their meeting of April 17th and voted to recommend approval with the condition that the restaurant owner secure and maintain parking for six vehicles, in addition to the five on-site spaces, pursuant to the City’s parking regulations (valet parking agreement is acceptable) and that written proof be submitted to the City. The Architectural Review, at their meeting of April 17th, voted to approve exterior alterations to the front façade.
Recommendation is to approve a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of 30 North Restaurant at 30 North Central Avenue.
Brian Ivy, architect, representing the owner, Brian Sedlak, addressed the Board stating that the owner has requested to change the name to the restaurant from 30 North to the Pelican Bar.
In response to Alderman Berkowitz’ question, Mr. Ivy confirmed that Brian Sedlak owns the old Barrister’s Restaurant building and that due to trouble with the costs to renovate he ended up not going forward with that project.
In response to Alderman Berkowitz’ question, Mr. Ivy stated that they are hoping to open the restaurant in the fall.
In response to Mayor Sanger’s question, Mr. Ivy said that they will begin construction within the next 30 days.
In response to Alderman Lintz’ question, Mr. Ivy stated that the building currently has two front doors, but after construction renovations there will be only one door.
Mayor Sanger closed the Public Hearing.
Alderman Winings moved to approve Resolution No. 17-08, as amended to change the name to Pelican Bar, granting a Conditional Use Permit for 30 N. Central Avenue. Alderman Boulton seconded.

The applicant describes the restaurant as “a quick serve casual dining establishment serving Mediterranean food.” Proposed hours of operation are 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. seven days a week.
Outdoor dining to accommodate 40 patrons will be considered by staff at a later date. The applicant is proposing the addition of a walk-in cooler to the rear of the building, which will be reviewed as part of the building permit process.
Delivery service from the restaurant is not proposed. Deliveries to the restaurant will be made two or three times a week in the morning to the rear of the building. Trash will be stored in existing dumpsters located in the rear of the building. The applicant will participate in a recycling program.
Because the restaurant is less than 3,000-square-feet and located inside of the Central Business District, off-street parking is not required. The property includes 8 off-street parking spaces, accessibly from the alley off of Forsyth Boulevard. According to the restaurant owner, 5 of those spaces will be used by employees and the remaining 3 for use by patrons. Public street parking is available along Maryland Avenue and Forsyth Boulevard.
The Plan Commission considered this request at their meeting of May 1st and voted to recommend approval with the condition that no outdoor music or speakers be allowed.

AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE MISSOURI HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION AGREEMENT FOR THE MARYLAND AVENUE RESURFACING PROJECT
City Manager Owens reported that in March of 2016, the City of Clayton applied for a grant from the East-West Gateway Council of Governments to resurface Maryland Avenue from Hanley Road to the west City limits (just west of Gay Ave.). The project qualified for funding through the Surface Transportation Program. Last fall the City received notification that this project has been approved for funding by East-West Gateway and recently were provided the program agreement.
The total programmed project cost is estimated to be $1,264,947.00. Seventy-five percent of the estimated project cost ($948,710.00) will be federally funded through East West Gateways Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The project design, and any easement/right-of-way acquisition will be funded by the City. This cost is estimated to be $114,295.00 for a total City contribution, with construction, of $316,237.00 (twenty-five percent of project cost). This project is budgeted over 3 years with design beginning in 2017 and construction taking place in 2019.
The programmed project will include the milling and replacement of 2 inches of asphalt, replacement of select curb & gutter where needed, and improvement of curb ramps to ADA standards.
The Missouri Department of Transportation has provided this agreement, which the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission will not approve if modified in any way.

05-09-17 BOA Minutes May 9, 2016 Page 6 of 9 Recommendation is to approve the ordinance authorizing execution of an agreement with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for the funding of the Maryland Avenue Resurfacing Project.
City Manager Owens added that consideration of bike facilities will be included in the design phase. We have not yet selected the design firm and will of course scope out the work to include adherence with the Complete Streets ordinance most particularly with bike expertise and a great deal of public engagement.
The agreement for your consideration is the standard form from MoDOT that simply says we will accept their terms in receiving grant money. This is a standard form that has been used in every grant and is required by MoDOT on all grants for all projects in the state. You will see on a future agenda an agreement for a design firm which will include the kind of scope you mention.
He also added that they anticipate design consultant selection in June and feels that July-Sept is the best time to have discussions and public engagement. MoDOT was late getting agreements out to Cities this year (approx. 3-4 months), but overall we think we are in a good position with the schedule.
