A PUBLIC HEARING AND A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SOUTH 40 CAMPUS

Mayor Sanger opened the public hearing and requested proof of publication.

City Manager Owens reported that this is a Public Hearing and subsequent resolution to consider granting an amendment to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) governing the number of beds and the number of parking spaces on the Washington University South 40 Campus.

Gary Feder, Attorney, Husch Blackwell, representing Washington University in connection with their request for a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Feder noted that he would like to specifically request that the Board documents are part of the record for tonight’s meeting. City Attorney O’Keefe clarified that the documents Mr. Feder referenced are generally located and remain the same in the City’s files.

Alderman Berkowitz inquired as to the prohibition for freshmen students to have vehicles on campus.

Alderman Winings inquired as to the origin of the original 3,300 maximum number that has been in place for several years.

Alderman McAndrew inquired as to the request for the additional beds due to the increase of more students attending the University or to concentrate students already attending.

Cheryl Adelstein, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Community Relations and Local Government Affairs, Washington University, answered questions from the Board. She confirmed that the University has grown slightly over the last 15 years with the population increasing 8%. She noted that due to the result of a housing study done in 2015 it was determined that the highest priority was to have all freshmen and all sophomores live on the South 40. She noted that they currently have 113 beds now sitting empty and would like to be able to use them.

Alderman Boulton inquired as to the 113 beds and that Washington University knew when they finished them out that they would have to “moth ball” some of the older beds. Ms. Adelstein stated that yes, and agreed with Alderman Boulton’s statement. She also inquired as to the other location, the Village area, and the walkability of the entire campus.

Dr. Rob Wild, Dean of Students, Washington University, acknowledged that many of the students are assigned as the second priority over to the Village area, but they feel that the South 40 provides a strong robust environment for the first two years.

Alderman Berkowitz inquired as to the University doing a study to show any parking impact on the surrounding neighborhoods due to the student population increase.

Ms. Adelstein stated that they have not done any studies specific his inquiries, but what they know is the demand for students and parking permits is significantly reduced – 10 years ago 900; today 300 because there is a trend that students are not bringing cars. She stated that there are people who park in the neighborhoods, but over the last year it would significantly be construction parking. She said that they are monitoring construction worker parking within the neighborhoods, but also feel that faculty and staff neighborhood parking is more prevalent. She said that they have not done a study because they have not received enough complaints about students’ parking in the neighborhood. She added that sophomores (as of July 2017) are also barred from bringing vehicles on campus.

Alderman Boulton inquired as to any studies done about Uber usage.

Dan Wald, 6470 Ellenwood, addressed the Board with his concerns on neighborhood parking and opposition to the University’s request.

Eric Lederman, 6453 Cecil, Skinker Heights Neighborhood Association, addressed the Board with his concerns and referenced agreements between the Association and the University. On behalf of the Association he is asking the Board to deny the request.

Mayor Sanger noted that any agreement between the Neighborhood Association and Washington University is a private agreement and will not influence the Board’s decision.

Liza Street, 6420 Cecil, addressed the Board with her concerns on the effects of property values in the adjacent neighborhoods with the continued expansion of Washington University’s campus.

Jane Klamer, 62 Aberdeen, addressed the Board in support of the Washington University request.

Karen Stern, 6409 Ellenwood, addressed the Board with concerns on the parking, noise, and construction staging (on the parking lot at First Congregational Church) for Washington University.

Robert Lewis, urban planner, retired from Development Strategies, on behalf of Washington University, encouraged the Board to approve the request.

Sally Cohn, 6464 Ellenwood, addressed the Board with her concerns of Washington University’s expansion plans and asks that the Board deny the request. (statement attached)

Bruce Hall, 6317 Wydown Boulevard, Faculty for Washington University, Vice-President for BJC, and has helped serve the School Board. He agrees with some of the previous concerns mentioned. He said that as a University it does not mean that there cannot be an unintended consequence of the University decisions and feels that the University can do more to address them. He hopes the Board will consider some of what the community has expressed tonight.

Ms. Adelstein thanked everyone and said that Clayton has been their partner, they have been developing based upon a master plan that was initiative in 1995. They have just completed Phase VI, 20-25 year plan, and they are considering the next phase. Every street and building have been thoughtfully discussed and agreed upon together. She thanked the Board for their support and hopes that they will consider the request.

Mayor Sanger asked Ms. Adelstein what they could give us (for the record) in terms of providing for the people, who she believes herself are parking in the neighborhood, to get them off those streets and into the garage, which has much capacity.

Ms. Adelstein stated that she can commit that beginning this Fall they will regularly use their own police and parking and transportation people to strategically spend time both in the Skinker Heights Neighborhood, with their permission, and on Aberdeen and Arundel. They can clearly tell at certain times of day when people are parking, when they are moving, or where they’re going. They will try to document that and bring that information forward to the City so that they can have shared data on what the real problem is; and if they determine together that there is a real problem they will do everything they can to try to address it.

Mayor Sanger stated that what he is thinking about is that they have a great deal of space for people to park on the west campus and shuttle them, but he must dwell on the fact that the staff has agreed that there is plenty of unused parking in the South 40 garage. He inquired why they could not mitigate the problem.

Ms. Adelstein stated that just like the City, they also have parking policies and parking provisions. Since she is not the head of parking and transportation she cannot commit to change the policies that impact the 3,000 faculty, staff, and students on the Danforth Campus. She said that they will do the studies, they will work with them and come back to the City staff.

Mr. Feder reiterated what Ms. Adelstein stated regarding the willingness on the part of the University to continue to work on the subject along the lines that were discussed. He feels that this should not stand in the way of the Board’s action tonight on this request. Again, he requested that the documents in the Board packet and the Zoning Code is provided as part of the record.

Alderman Boulton stated that being a former president of the Neighborhood Association and an Alderman for six years, she has experienced many complaints about parking, noise, and traffic; to assert otherwise is not true. She is guilty of not passing those complaints on because they just never got addressed. She would also like to point out that in 1995 the University increased their bed size from 2,350 to 3,000. The adverse impacts from that building project, and the increase in population density, along with the consequent building was so great that five homes were sold and purchased by the University resulting in the beginning of adverse impacts. This created a boundary and then the next homes started complaining. This issue has not ever been mitigated by the University. In referencing the Conditional Use Permit, specifically #11, #13, and #16, the University will not be able to fulfill those criteria as we have heard from neighbors. She said that looking back on the prior conditional use population increases the University has yet to mitigate that impact and it is unclear to her how they can mitigate an even greater impact. 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. 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.
