BIDS – NONE
HEARING OF ANY MATTER OF PUBLIC INTEREST UPON REQUEST OF ANY
PERSON PRESENT
Andrew Truss – 2825 Brazeau
came before the Board and said he has been a petitioner since December 2002 for
a subdivision with Brentwood Plastics located at 8734 Suburban Tracks Drive and
asked what is the status of that. He met with the Public Works Committee and
City Attorney Murphy was to review three items that they rearranged the wording
on. Another meeting was supposed to be scheduled but it was not.
Mayor Kelly said the City intends
to purchase that property for park land.
Alderman Leahy said an executive
session was held which the Board discussed the property. The vote that was
taken at that meeting was to authorize the City to investigate whether the
purchase would be reasonable. No dollar figures were discussed and no final
decision was made.
Mr. Truss said he would like the
opportunity to talk to the alderpersons and explain what has gone on. This is
very important to the Truss family because they intend to move the Truss
Brothers Construction into Brentwood. He disagrees with the City wanting to
put a park there because he does not think the City needs another park. He
asked for another meeting with the Public Works Committee.
Janet Truss – 2825 Brazeau
came before the Board and said she is for the mayor’s two-year term and not the
four-year term. Where would the City get the funds to buy that property?
Mayor Kelly said it is a very
tight budget year and those funds will probably have to be taken out of
reserves. In May or June of this year, the City decided that if the lot were
subdivided the City would purchase the property to use for an addition to Norm West
Park. The land would allow for the City to build another soccer field for
kids. This land is in a floodplain and flood way and does not have many uses
because of those issues. The property owner is currently allowing the City
to use that lot for park parking.
Alderman Golfin said one of the
issues he is concerned about is that subdivided piece is in a floodplain. When
property is in a floodplain the real solution to help prevent flooding and
backing up of sewers is purchase of that floodplain property for a park or some
such uses. Building on that only aggravates the stormwater run off.
Kathryn Jepson – 2328 Annalee
came before the Board said she is before the Board concerning changing the
mayor’s term from two years to four years. Because the public elects the
mayor, the public should have a say.
Bonnie Rasmussen – Pendleton
and Collier came before the Board and said it is hard to find somebody
capable, qualified and willing to run for mayor in our community. When you
start talking about a four-year term you are looking at a professional
position.
Karen Smith – 8930 Harrison
came before the Board and said she is opposed to the four- year term for the
mayor’s position.
As a resident of Brentwood she
has always trusted City officials to oversee how tax dollars are spent. The
City has a fiduciary responsibility to appropriately manage its tax dollars and
spend them according to their intended purpose. At the July 21 Aldermanic
meeting Brentwood indicated that overall revenues for the City of Brentwood are
down and the sales tax revenues that have been generated for stormwater and
sewer projects have been diverted to other projects. She requested a list of
how those dollars have been spent from City Administrator Seemayer. In the
letter that she sent to the last meeting she requested that the Ways and Means
Committee address the insufficient funding of stormwater and sewer funding by
establishing a budget that is appropriately funded by 50% of the sales tax.
She asked what progress has been made with that. Can an ordinance be
introduced that will separate the stormwater funds and the parks funds?
Alderman Marshall said it would
be placed on the next Ways and Means Committee meeting agenda.
Mayor Kelly said some of the
projects that they are planning on doing with the stormwater/parks funds are
very expensive projects. The City has done a number of projects since 1996 to
improve the sewer system. A lot of that is credited to the Stormwater
Committee to prioritize those projects and get matching funds from MSD. The
money from the taxes that were passed is being spent for the parks. This year
they hardly did any sewer projects because it is a very tough budget year. The
City has cut back on many things. People think the City is flush with money
because of the redevelopment projects. Since 1996, when that first project
came on board being the Promenade, the only new revenue the City has seen from
that is $300,000.00, $300,000.00 from Brentwood Square and $300,000.00 from the
Dierbergs project. Because of the agreement with the school district,
everything else goes back to pay the TIF off as soon as possible. The City has
done a very good job over the years of maintaining the quality of services for
the residents by not charging for trash services, repairing sidewalks, good
street department, finest police and fire departments and stayed within its
means.
Ms. Smith said there is some
confusion among some of the residents regarding what is the next step for West
Community Credit Union. Their understanding is that they were granted their
variances from the Board of Adjustment. It goes back to the Planning and
Zoning Commission and possibly will go to Site Plan Review. When it comes to
the Board of Alderman what will the Board be voting on.
Mayor Kelly said they requested a
variance to limit the amount of setback needed. They asked for a variance so
they would not have to have that twenty-five foot of green space between the
house and the parking lot, to build their parking lot big enough. The reason
they bought that second house is for the green space needed in order to conform
to the City’s green space requirement for building a new building. The other
variance they requested was to leave that property residential which has been
used commercially as a dentist building for over 30 years. They were granted
that variance as well. The third variance needed was for the canopy over their
ATM machine. They needed a variance because that canopy was too close to the
property line, and it was granted.
At this point they need to go
back to the Planning and Zoning Commission and show their new site plan and it
could be sent back to Site Plan Review to be evaluated. At that point the
Planning and Zoning Commission would make their recommendation to the Board of
Alderman and the Board of Alderman would vote on whether to grant their
building permit.
If someone comes in and makes an
application to the City and it meets the Code, if the Board turns it down they
can be sued and will probably lose in Civil Court. The City cannot override
variances because the Board of Adjustment has a higher authority than the Board
of Aldermen.
Mrs. Jepson said she is astounded
that they can tear down a building that has a conditional use permit and zoned
residential since its inception. Why would any resident in this town think
that by getting variances and taking it out of the Board’s hands they can tear
down and on a residential lot put in a parking lot and use it for commercial
purposes.
Alderman Leahy said he attended
the Board of Adjustment meeting and each member listened to the facts that were
presented and worked from there. The request for the three variances that were
brought to the Board of Adjustment was brought without a plan in place.
Planning and Zoning had made an error because they had approved a plan without
getting the adjustments. The adjustments that were requested were not to the
plans submitted.
Mayor Kelly said the key issue is
the Planning and Zoning Commission should not vote on a plan, if it needs a
variance, until that variance has been approved or denied.
Maury Heart – representing
properties at 2320 and 2324 Annalee came before the Board and said she is
not in favor of the extension of the mayor’s term.
Melinda Farrar – 8926 Moritz
came before the Board and said a group of citizens should not have to come up
to City Hall and scream to get their sewers fixed. It should be in the budget
as a line item.
Christine Kobler – 8615
Henrietta came before the Board and said for the last three years she has
represented St. Mary Magdelen as the field manager for baseball and softball
during the summer. She commended the Parks Department on a wonderful job this
year, especially in getting the fields ready for the city/county archdiocese
playoffs on August 3rd. There was a huge rainstorm the night before
but they were still able to play the game. It has been a great season and the
parks have been very wonderfully taken care of. They are doing a great job.
She would also like the mayor’s
term to remain two years. It is difficult to get people to commit to two years
and would be more difficult to get people to commit to four years.
Mayor Kelly said as a policy for
our City, the office of mayor should be a four-year term. It is very time
consuming running for mayor. You need that continuity to make sure that the
City stays on the right path.
Alderman Wynn said it is more
important in this situation that the people of Brentwood are heard. If the
residents want it to remain a two-year term, the Board should vote to keep it
that way. A vote is one of the critical things that you have and the length of
the term is critical to the citizens. He would have no problem voting against
a four-year term if he felt that the people were against it.
Alderman Leahy asked that the
City evaluate through the City attorney’s office if it is possible to do a
public vote in the April election concerning the mayor’s term and what cost
would be incurred if the City changed it to four years, instead of leaving it
at two years.
Michael Boshans – 2839 Brazeau
came before the Board and said if you want to find out what our citizens think
about this, you could send something through the mail.
Ms. Smith said she is concerned
about the Master Plan. The residents need to understand the process.
Mayor Kelly said he is excited
about the Comprehensive Plan. The committee that has been set up will
represent the City well. They will eventually pick a consultant to help work
with the public to get their input.
Bonnie Rasmussen - member of
the Comprehensive Plan Committee came before the Board and said the
representation east of Brentwood Boulevard is minimal. At this point the
Committee has been coming up with ideas, taking notes and trying to inform
themselves of what is going on in other communities that are feeling the
pressure Brentwood is feeling. There will be public meetings held on the third
Wednesday of every month.
Public Hearing – Setting of 2003 Property Tax Rate
Mayor Kelly announced a Public
Hearing for the setting of the 2003 Property Tax Rate would now be heard at 7:15 p.m.
City Administrator Seemayer said the
process for setting the property tax rate has changed dramatically this year by
State legislation. They used to have a property tax rate that covered all
residential, commercial and personal property. That was broken up because
often times there were increases or deceases in either the commercial or
residential side of property and one affected the other and people felt they
were being assess unfairly. Following are the rates for current fiscal year
2003:
General Fund:
Residential Rate $.000 Commercial
Rate $.213 Personal Property $.207
Public Library:
Residential Rate $.175 Commercial
Rate $.184 Personal Property $.179
Police and Firemen’s Retirement
Fund:
Residential Rate $.231 Commercial
Rate $.242 Personal Property $.235
Bonded Indebtedness:
Residential Rate $.000 Commercial
Rate $.000 Personal Property $.000
Mayor Kelly said one significant
change last year was the State changed legislation, which allowed fourth-class
cities to assess property taxes against the commercial businesses and not against
the residents. He asked if there were any comments regarding the tax rate.
There were none.
Mayor Kelly announced the public
hearing closed at 7:23 p.m.

No. 5200, AN ORDINANCE GRANTING APPROVAL OF A SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR A
RETAIL STORE AT PROPERTY NUMBERED 1700 WITHROW AVENUE; PROVIDING THE CONDITIONS
TO SUCH DEVELOPMENT; AND, PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ORDINANCE,
its first and second readings.
John Geppert – Chair of
Planning and Zoning Commission came before the Board and said one issue
that came up at the Planning and Zoning Commission level was the developer
indicated that a part of their plan included a sign that will be about 25 feet
high. The sign code that was enacted some years ago did away with the pylon
sign. However in the “PD” District you have an opportunity, based upon the
various needs of what is happening with a development of that nature, to have
some flexibility on a sign package. It is going to set a precedent that could
be very concerning as you develop property around that area. The present owner
of the property has not been particularly cooperative to allow another signage
on the Eager Road area. This property has many challenges to it because it
sits back away from and not right up on the same building line that Pets Mart
is on. So the developer has been unwilling to look at signage on Eager Road
and feel that they have to have this sign. When they created the sign code
they knew that they did not like the visual impression of the pylon signs that
were all over the community but the balancing act that they maintained was that
a business has to be able to communicate. It has to be able to tell the public
where it is and who it is.
Jerry Ebest – Director of Real
Estate for Dierbergs came before the Board and said the rendering of the
sign is attached as Exhibit “B” to the ordinance. The sign texture is made out
of metal wrapping. It is more like the Brentwood Pointe sign, except it does
have a textured finish.
Alderman Golfin asked if the
retail store is going to be accessed from the Promenade parking lot.
Mr. Ebest said the access is off
Withrow.
Mr. Geppert said to the common
eye, it’s a part of the Promenade parking lot, but that right of way for Withrow
Avenue is still there.
Jerry Dawdy – Dawdy Associates
Architects came before the Board and said the building architecture both in
materials and in presentation is consistent with both centers. They have a
split face concrete block base at the bottom of the building. The middle of
the building is brick, which matches the Dierbergs store and the upper portion
of the building is an exterior installation finish system that matches what is
going on in some of the buildings within the Promenade.
Mayor Kelly said the City has the
ability to grant the pylon sign and in reality they all need to stay away from
that whenever possible. This is a unique situation. Not only does the lot sit
back but it also belongs to a development that is up the street. It is going
to take the power of the City working with DDR in order to get some type of
signage on Eager Road. If they cannot do that then the worse case scenario is
that they would be allowed to build the pylon sign.
Motion was made by Alderman Boyd,
second by Alderman Robertson to approve and adopt Bill No. 5200. Roll call:
Alderman Boyd, yes; Alderman Marshall, yes; Alderman Leahy, yes; Alderman
Golfin, no; Alderman Robertson, yes; Alderman Wynn, no; Alderman Cross, yes.
The Mayor thereupon declared Bill
No. 5200 duly passed and signed same into approval thereof. Said Bill was
given Ordinance No. 3902.
Bill No. 5201 – Hanley/Eager TIF Redevelopment
Plan
City Attorney Murphy gave Bill
No. 5201, AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS IN
CONNECTION WITH THE HANLEY/EAGER TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) REDEVELOPMENT
PLAN, its first and second readings.
Mark Grimm – Gilmore &
Bell came before the Board and said this bill approves two documents one of
which is an amendment to the redevelopment agreement. The primary purpose of
which is to clarify the manner in which an internal roadway is going to be
constructed. Zoning Administrator Wolf has approved the plans and specs in
connection with the building permit process. The second issue is once the TIF
notes for Phase I of the redevelopment project are repaid, $115,000 will go to
the Transportation Development District to repay the TDD obligations that are
being issued. The second document is the Cooperation Agreement between the City
and the TDD, which provides that the City will collect the TDD sales tax on
behalf of the TDD and will take its 1% collection fee and turn the remainder
over to the trustee for the repayment of the TIF obligations.
Motion was made by Alderman
Leahy, second by Alderman Golfin to approve and adopt Bill No. 5201. Roll
call: Alderman Boyd, yes; Alderman Marshall, yes; Alderman Leahy, yes;
Alderman Golfin, yes; Alderman Robertson, yes; Alderman Wynn, yes; Alderman
Cross, yes.
The Mayor thereupon declared Bill
No. 5201 duly passed and signed same into approval thereof. Said Bill was
given Ordinance No. 3903.
Resolution No. 895 – Establishment of TDD
Mayor Kelly said this resolution
would establish the boundaries for the Manchester Road TDD. The sales tax
generated along that corridor on Manchester Road would amount to a ½ cent sales
tax, which will help to fund improvements. The boundary is primarily Ward 3.
The residents in Ward 3 will be voting on that TDD. State legislation allows
you to set up a district boundary, so the people affected would be voting on
it. It would go to the voters throughout the corridor in Brentwood, Glendale, Kirkwood,
Rock Hill and Warson Woods.
Alderman Leahy said he would like
to have the wording corrected between the City of Brentwood and the Election
Board to properly define the area.
Motion was made by Alderman
Leahy, second by Alderman Wynn to approve Resolution No. 895. All in favor
none opposed.
ACCOUNTS AGAINST THE CITY
Motion was made by Alderman
Golfin, second by Alderman Boyd to approve the revised warrant list dated 8/19/03. All in favor none opposed.

TDD to include some of those businesses that do not have a TDD or have maxed
out their TDD and use those funds to fund that bridge.
