May 11, 2015 — Meeting Minutes

This document is a transcript of a City Plan Commission/Architectural Review Board special meeting held May 11, 2015, at Clayton City Hall. It records a public hearing concerning properties at 7501 Maryland Avenue and 7500–7520 Westmoreland Avenue, including presentations by project representatives (architects, engineers, attorneys), public comments, and discussion of a rezoning request from R-4 to PUD and a PUD application. The excerpts show numerical figures referenced for tax/benefit amounts (e.g., $1,035,000 for the City and $117,800 for the business district), statements about proposed unit counts (e.g., an earlier plan with 45 units reduced to 35), and procedural matters such as a request to defer or extend a vote to allow further work with staff.

55 1 this evening with respect to our request for -- going 2 from ·R-4 to PUD and on the PUD application itself. We 3 are just requesting that the vote be continued until 4 the next public hearing or the next hearing, so that we 5 can have a chance to work with the staff, with respect 6 to their comments and try to get on the same page with 7 respect to all of that. We are there on many of them 8 but there's a couple we just want to talk through. 9 10 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. MR. KORN: I want to make that 11 clarification. 12 THE CHAIRMAN: So items B2 and B3, which 13 we would consider together, that is the R-4 to Planned 14 Unit Development District and the proposed Planned Unit 15 Development to the south, those two, you would want to 16 continue for the final discussion and vote? 17 MR.

53 1 majority of the parking will be underground and no 2 parking lots. It will have the sense of a single 3 family neighborhood in that regard and last but not 4 least, I think the increase in patrons to the downtown 5 is a very important plus from this development, not 6 only to go there for restaurants and retailing but to 7 go there to work. 8 People can -- will choose to live here, to 9 continue on with their careers. If they are a 10 consultant like me, perhaps and later in their careers, 11 will go to -- be able to walk to Clayton, to do their 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 business. So this is, I think, a wonderful development for Clayton, a wonderful development for the neighborhood and very in keeping with this City's comprehensive plan. Thank you. I will turn it back to Bruce. MR. KORN: Thank you. We have got -- thank you, Richard, two more items to give to you this evening. I have about a hundred and eleven letters that I am going to give out to each one of you. Fred Berger has some stuff to present into the record for us and then we will be finished with our presentation. THE CHAIRMAN: Have you delivered those to 25 Kathy?

54 1 MR. KORN: They have. I can. They have 2 one -- you have one copy of this right now. You have 3 4 5 6 7 seen this once. We brought copies for everybody. THE CHAIRMAN: distribute them. MR. KORN: Yes. If you would like to THE CHAIRMAN:, I don't guarantee that they 8 will be read this evening. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 MR. KORN: They may not. MR. BERGER: Mr. Chairman, Fred Berger again. Just a couple of matters, housekeeping. I wanted to first clarify that the applicant is desirous and has proceeded with this public hearing, with respect to its request to rezone from R-4 to PUD and its PUD application as well. We just request that the vote on that be extended, to give us a chance to work with the staff, with respect to the recommendations that we received on Friday. 20 We believe we will be able to reach 21 consensus on many of those and those that need a little 22 bit of discussion, we will do that with the staff, so I 23 want to clarify, because there have been a couple of 24 different comments by Larry Schiff er and by Bruce on 25 that but I want to make real clear.

So what we have heard is the applicant's presentation, covering the entire portion of what they are asking for in the multiple applications. Now, we would like to go back and we are in a public hearing for the rezoning of the property, from R-2 to R-4 and we will invite any public comments at this point. And I would like to remind everyone that we are asking that there by no repetition. That the 15 neighborhoods select a speaker and that all of the 16 17 speakers maintain three minutes each. MS.
