The motion passed on a roll call vote: Alderman Winings – Aye; Alderman Boulton – Aye; Alderman Lintz – Aye; Alderman Berkowitz – Aye; Alderman Harris – Aye; Alderman McAndrew – Aye; and Mayor Sanger – Aye. Mayor Sanger noted that he was adjusting the order of the agenda due to two items related to the Clarendale Project. Mayor Sanger opened the public hearing and requested proof of publication. A PUBLIC HEARING AND ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A REZONING AND A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 7601 AND 7651 CLAYTON ROAD

City Manager Owens reported that the next items are related to the Clarendale Project: 1) an ordinance approving a major subdivision plat. The plat consolidates two lots into one 3.27-acre lot; 2) a proposed rezoning of properties located at 7601 and 7651 Clayton Road from C-1, Neighborhood Commercial and R-6 Medium Density Multi-family to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) District; and to consider the terms and conditions of the planned unit development plan for the site if the property is rezoned. David Erickson, Vice-President, Ryan Companies, provided a presentation to the Board on the proposed project. Mr. Erickson introduced Richard Funk, Sr. Vice-President of Lifecare Services. Mayor Sanger closed the public hearing.

She believes that the Board should vote against the request. Alderman Lintz agreed that Wash U is a terrific citizen and a great asset to the community, however he also agrees that there are adverse impacts that have not been mitigated. It seems that in asking for any increase Wash U would have done something to address the impact on the parking impact and figure it out. As was previously pointed out, it’s not just the student density, it’s everyone, including staff. He applauds Wash U for all they do and also cherishes the neighborhood and the diversity of the neighborhood and he hopes to continue, but at this point he wishes that Wash U gets it together before going any further. Alderman Harris stated that she would like to reinforce that she has received a lot of input from that community and all these concerns have been going on for a long time. It is hard to imagine how adding more beds would make it better, it’s got to make it worse. She feels the couple of questions that come up is 1) slow incrementality – just keep adding a few at a time and soon the “water is boiling” and the “frog is cooked.” We must start thinking in terms of the long-range plans and what is the density that we can accept. Also, as a City we are trying to add firefighters and doing a lot of things that is expensive to the taxpayers.

She feels the couple of questions that come up is 1) slow incrementality – just keep adding a few at a time and soon the “water is boiling” and the “frog is cooked.” We must start thinking in terms of the long-range plans and what is the density that we can accept. Also, as a City we are trying to add firefighters and doing a lot of things that is expensive to the taxpayers. The staff report talks about insignificant costs, but significant is in the “eye of the beholder” and tens of thousands of dollars is significant. She sees that the number of EMS calls to the South 40 has doubled in the past five years. She would like to see more evidence of how this can be a better collaboration with the City in terms of all those factors before she would vote yes. Mayor Sanger closed the public hearing.
