Ahead
yep
before
this
evening
is
an
amended
preliminary
development
plan
for
Autumn
Woods,
which
is
a
101
unit,
multi-family
development
generally
located
at
the
northwest
corner
of
West
Marquee
Road
and
Belton
Avenue.
The
current
development
plans
were
approved
in
2015
and
are
still,
in
effect
in
April.
A
motion
to
approve
an
amended
plan
failed
at
the
city
council
due
to
concerns
about
parking.
D
The
applicant
has
worked
with
staff
on
various
Parking
Solutions
and
believes
that
the
most
effective
solution
is
providing
two-car
driveways
for
each
unit
with
small
landscape
Islands
in
between
this
solution
would
double
the
amount
of
driveway
parking
in.
The
second
phase,
though,
will
limit
landscaping
and
green
space
in
the
front
yard
areas
of
the
buildings.
This
option
also
significantly
reduces
on-street
parking
options
which
will
allow
for
improved
traffic
flow
through
the
site.
D
The
amended
preliminary
development
plan
and
a
final
development
plan
were
presented
to
the
Planning
Commission
on
August
1st,
and
the
commission
recommended
unanimous
approval
of
both
plans.
No
one
spoke
in
favor
or
an
opposition
at
the
public
hearing
during
the
discussion.
The
commission
did
question
if
the
driveway
widths
would
be
modified
in
the
first
phase
to
match
the
proposed
second
phase.
If
the
wider
driveway
plan
is
approved
in
the
second
phase,
the
developer
is
willing
to
widen
the
driveways
in
the
first
phase,
where
there
aren't
obstructions
to
match
what
is
proposed
in
the
second
phase.
D
In
the
second
phase,
based
on
the
developers
estimate,
there
may
be
two
to
three
driveways
that
could
not
be
widened
due
to
existing
obstructions
in
the
first
phase,
but
all
other
driveways
could
be
widened.
Staff
has
included
in
the
council
action
report
a
potential
added
condition.
Should
the
council
believe
that
the
driveway
Whiting
is
acceptable
for
the
first
phase,
along
with
the
preliminary
development
plan,
there's
also
an
amended
development
and
maintenance
agreement
that
is
being
brought
back
for
this
evening.
D
This
is
the
same
agreement
that
was
brought
forward
in
April
and
was
tabled
until
an
amended
preliminary
development
plan
could
be
brought
back
for
consideration.
Staff
does
recommend
approval
of
them
in
a
preliminary
development
plan,
with
six
conditions
plus
the
seventh
condition.
Should
the
council
decide
to
make
that
condition
for
The
Wider
driveways
in
the
first
phase,
and
we
also
recommend
approval
of
the
amended
development
and
maintenance
agreement.
C
D
It
included
phase
two
as
well,
but
since
that
time,
under
this
plan
they
not
only
widened
the
driveways
but
they've
increased.
The
trail
width,
they've
added
some
additional
larger
playground,
they've
added
a
picnic,
shelter
so
there's
some
a
number
of
other
improvements
to
the
site
and
Landscaping
and
amenities
that
they've
added.
In
addition
to
this
parking
standard.
So
overall
staff
thinks
it's
a
much
better
plan
than
what
could
currently
be
built
under
the
2015
plans
and.
C
A
B
C
D
The
only
changes
to
it
are
what
were
presented
with
this.
So
the
actual
a
lot
of
the
changes
that
are
in
the
development
of
maintenance
agreement
have
not
changed.
So
there
were
items
in
there
about
the
amenities
and
the
timing
of
of
installations
of
those,
also
the
opportu
or
the
option
for
the
developer
to
come
back
and
retrofit
the
existing
units
for
individual
Water
and
Sewer
meters
that
is
still
in
there
and
that
would
come
forward
with
future
public
improvements,
as
well
as
a
revised
preliminary
and
final
plat
to
townhouse
those
units.
Okay,.
C
And
I
had
these
questions
back
in
April,
but
never
got
a
chance
to
ask
them,
because
we
didn't
we
didn't
get
that
far
but
anyway,
what
it
says
they
need
to
use
the
best
management
practices
for
storm
water
sewer
facilities
is.
Is
that
an
enumeration
of
five
or
six
things,
or
is
that
a
whole
document
they
have
to
follow,
or
maybe
Craig
could
answer
that.
F
Park
like
if
there's
multiple
ways
you
could
do
it
there's
ways
of
building
swales,
there's
ways
of
building
detention
ponds.
There's
ways
you
can
use
inlets
with
sand
in
it.
There's
many
different
there's,
not
just
one
solution.
There's
multiple
solutions
that
are
listed
and
every
developer
can
pick
the
solution
that
fits
their
development.
Okay,.
C
F
C
Okay,
okay
and
then
on
page
42.
It
says
the
developer,
its
successors
and
a
sign
shall
inspect
the
storm
water
management
system
and
the
BMP
facility
and
submit
an
inspection
report
to
the
city's
Public
Works
directly,
director,
annaly
and
so
the
my
question
is:
who
writes
this
report
once
the
developer
is
left.
F
C
C
G
Multi-Family
rentals
it'll
most
likely
be
either
a
new
development
entity
will
buy
the
entire
area
or
if
there
are
individual
ones.
This
development
agreement
is
recorded
with
the
county
once
it
is
executed,
so
it
would
show
up
on
a
title
report.
Should
somebody
purchase
one
of
these
townhouses
individually?
Okay,.
C
Okay
and
then
there's
this
big
long
paragraph
where
it
says
that
if
they
don't
follow
through
with
that
or
with
with
doing
this,
you
know
shoveling
the
snow
or
whatever
the
Dell
developer.
I
have
10
days
from
the
date
of
the
letter
which
the
city
sensed
to
them,
because
they
were
in
default,
an
adequate
plan
to
make
repairs.
Evattar
repairs
are
not
made
by
the
developer,
developer,
consents
and
agrees.
The
city
may
enter
upon
the
property
and
take
whatever
steps
necessary
to
correct
efficiencies.
C
C
G
So
it
would
fall
under
kind
of
the
city's
still
standard
practice.
If
the
city
council
does
end
up
accepting
the
public
infrastructure
after
inspection
by
public
works,
then
the
mains
would
become
city
property
and
then
the
service
lines
AKA
meter
to
house.
Do
you
guys
do
main
to
house
or
meter
to
house
I
forget
I.
F
C
G
G
C
Okay,
so
that
so
there
somewhere
here,
if
it's,
if
it's
on
my
property
or
if
it's
past
that
main
meter,
then
it's
their
responsibility
for
fixing
the
line
if
it's
broke
or
whatever,
okay
and
then
finally
I
said.
Finally,
once
before,
but
I
gotta
say
it
again,
it
says
documents
providing
for
the
establishment
of
a
Property
Owners
Association
must
be
submitted
to
the
community
development
director
before
approval
of
the
final
plat,
that's
in
UDC
36-38b.
So
we
do
do
we
have
that
documentation
of
the
establishment
of
a
Property
Owners
Association.
We.
D
Yeah
they
will
have
to
come
back
forward
with
a
preliminary
and
a
final
plat
for
the
second
phase,
the
townhouse
that
and
then
there
may
be
a
separate
final
plot
that
comes
at
a
later
date,
once
they've
retrofitted.
If
they
decide
to
retrofit
the
first
phase
to
townhouse
those.
So
at
that
time
we
will
have
the
property
maintenance
or
Property
Owners
Association
homeowners
association
documents
with
that,
okay.
H
D
This
is
a
final
plot
for
cross
and
back,
which
is
a
two
lot
subdivision
at
the
southwest
corner
of
third
and
Herschel
on
the
final
plot
is
a
replat
of
five
original
Old
Town
lots
that
are
zoned
R2
to
family
residential.
The
developer
would
like
to
replant
the
lots
for
two
duplexes
that
would
be
oriented
towards
Herschel.
D
There
are
a
few
Public
Works
items
that
do
need
to
be
completed
before
billing
permits
can
be
issued,
which
are
included
as
conditions
with
the
final
plat
that
includes
a
water
line
extension
a
long
Herschel
and
then
sidewalk
improvements.
This
plan
does
meet
all
subdivision
regulations.
However,
the
applicant
is
requesting
an
adjustment
to
the
corner
side,
building
set
back
line
along
Third
Street,
which
will
reduce
that
setback
from
25
feet
to
15
feet.
D
That
setback
is
consistent
with
other
residential
buildings
built
along
Third
Street,
which
have
smaller
setbacks
than
what
is
currently
allowed
in
the
R2
zoning
District,
the
Planning
Commission
recommended
unanimous
approval.
The
final
plot
on
August
1st
staff
recommends
approval
with
six
conditions
that
are
included
in
the
ordinance
and
if
there
are
no
unanswered
questions
or
concerns
with
the
request.
This
evening,
staff
does
request
a
double
read
to
allow
the
applicant
to
proceed
with
signatures
and
recording
the
plot
at
Cass.
County.
A
H
B
E
B
D
This
is
a
request
to
rezone
1.23
acres
from
a
agriculture
to
R1
single
family
for
property
address
at
1208,
South,
Cedar
Street.
This
is
included
as
lot
one
on
the
proposed
final
platform
base
place,
which
is
the
next
item
on
the
agenda.
The
agriculture
zoning
is
reserved
for
lots
that
are
greater
than
five
acres
and
with
the
re-plat
of
this
or
the
new
plat
of
this
property
that
lot
one
would
be
below
that
five
acres,
which
is
the
purpose
of
the
rezoning
Lot
2,
will
remain
as
agriculture
zoning
because
of
its
size.
D
D
The
Planning
Commission
held
a
public
hearing
on
the
rezoning
on
August
1st,
at
which
no
one
spoke
in
favor
or
not
positioned
the
request.
The
commission
did
recommend
unanimous
approval
of
the
rezoning,
as
well
as
the
final
plat,
and
they
also
approved
a
preliminary
plot.
Staff
recommends
approval
of
both
the
rezone
and
the
final
plot,
with
two
conditions
and
like
with
the
last
final
plot.
D
C
Have
one
one
question
and
maybe
you've
answered
this
before
so
I'm,
sorry
for
repeating,
but
I
went
on
the
counties
GIS
and
it
shows
both
those
properties,
1208
and
1210
being
residential.
So
is
there
a
difference
between
the
way
the
county
looks
at
stuff
and
the
city
looks
at
stuff
or
are
they
wrong
or
are
we
wrong
or
why.
D
Are
we
doing
this
yeah?
We
have
a
separate
zoning
from
what
they
assess
a
property,
as
assessment
is
based
on
the
land
use,
not
so
much
the
zoning
of
the
property.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
properties
that
maybe
Zone
commercial
in
the
city,
but
maybe
assesses
agriculture
because
they
don't
have
any
development
on
them.
Okay,.
I
C
C
I
Up
with
the
reason
that
they
do,
that
is
well,
the
zoning
is
set
by
the
cities
to
to
essentially
set
what
can
be
built
there,
how
they
can
utilize
that
that
property
and
those
are
City
standards.
Okay,
the
county
just-
is
just
assessing
what
they're
using
it
for
so
that
way,
they
know
how
to
how
to.
Essentially
you.
A
Else,
hearing
none
all
in
favor
all
right.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
motion
for
a
second.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
for
a
second
reading.
Why
they
asked
for
this
is
because
we're
not.
This
is
our
last
meeting
until
the
end
of
September
and
we're
not
meeting
because
of
MML.
So
that's
they
wanted
to
get
this
stuff
going.
So
that's
why
we're
doing
second
readings
if
everybody's
okay
with
it
so
no
nothing
else
all
in
favor,
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
motion
approving
the
second
reading,
the
bill
2023-52
an.
B
J
A
A
A
F
This
is
this:
is
our
standard
acceptance
of
public
infrastructure
when
a
developer
builds
a
new
development.
This
is
going
to
be
I,
believe
the
last
of
the
South
viewcommerce
Center
infrastructure
that
will
be
out
there.
That
needs
to
be
accepted.
This
is
just
basically
the
water
line
and
centers
who
are
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
Well,
at
one
point,
I
asked
somebody:
either
you
or
a
city
manager,
Warren
or
somebody
with
these
lines
along
the
Commerce
Center
have
anything
to
do
with
white
Avenue,
and
you
said
I
thought
the
answer
was
no,
but
yet
it
shows
on
the
East
portion
of
this
of
what
we're
taking
over.
It
ties
right
into
White,
Avenue
so
or
White
Drive.
So
do
you,
it
is
I.
Guess
it
is
I
get
I
mean
this.
This
is
accurate
right
or.
F
Lines
now
or
correct,
so
we
built
bigger
lines
and
it's
also
connected
in
a
loop.
So
the
whole
area
is
connected
together,
so
water
doesn't
travel
one
way
through
a
water
line
like
a
lot
of
people,
think
it
travels
both
ways.
So
if
pressure
is
drawn
one
way
or
another,
the
pressure
from
the
area
equalizes,
so
one
user
shouldn't
be
able
to
drop
the
pressure.
I
mean
we
do
water
pressure
studies
and
everything
to
protect
against
that.
Okay,.
B
I
Good
evening
Council
and
Mr
Mayor.
Yes,
this
resolution
essentially
is
an
audit
engagement
letter
for
FY
23's
audit,
with
a
firm
called
BT
and
Company
in
your
Consular
action
report.
It
explains
kind
of
the
situation
we've
been
it's
taken.
You
know
many
months
to
try
and
get
FY
22's
audit
completed
and
we're
still
waiting,
they're
they're
supposed
to
be
coming
back
again
in
a
couple
weeks
to
to
wrap
that
up
for
us
in
September
and
so
because
of
their
their
the
slow
responsiveness
and
and
to
be
fair
to
the
company.
I
The
Firm
we're
using
now
they've
had
some
staffing
issues
and
things
that
have
come
up
on
their
side,
but
we
need
more
responsiveness
and
more
timeliness
on
on
FY
23's
audit.
So
we
we
want
to
get
it
lined
up
to
come
right
after
22
is
done
and
so
we're
bringing
in
a
different
a
different
firm
with
a
lot
larger
staff.
Who's
very,
very
well,
respected
in
in
the
in
the
field,
and
we're
asking
that
you
guys
essentially
allow
us
to
do
that
since
we're
already
behind
because
of
the
FY
22
audit.
A
I
K
Yeah
some
updates
from
Parks
the
farmers
market.
This
coming
Thursday
will
be
canceled
due
to
the
excessive
heat
the
Memorial
Park
playground
is
back
open
with
improved
play,
equipment
and
play
surface,
and
the
new
basketball
court
is
poured
out
at
Country,
View
Park
in
West
Belton
and
once
that
is
set
they'll
put
in
the
goals.
The
car
BQ
is
September
9th
at
Memorial,
Park,
so
cars
and
barbecue.
What
else
could
you
want
and
then
an
interesting
data
point
shared
lesson
at
the
park
board
meeting.
The
junior
disc
golf
course
recently
installed
out
at
Country.
K
View
Park
in
West
Belton
has
already
had
226
games
logged
in
a
popular
disc
golf
app.
So
that's
just
games
that
the
die
hards
have
logged
their
scores
in
the
app
there's
a
lot
of
feedback
from
folks
that
they've
seen
families
and
kids
out
there.
You
know
trying
a
new
sport,
so
that's
been
a
great
Improvement
to
the
park
cool.
L
Nope,
okay!
Well
with
our
wonderful
heat
advisory,
our
local
nonprofits
are
working
on
collecting
funds
to
help
citizens
that
a
lot
of
our
seniors
and
a
lot
of
our
disabled
families
do
not
have
air
and
they
are
helping
them
to
either
get
air
conditioners,
fans
whatever
is
needed,
or
even
if
they
need
to
stay
a
night
out.
So
they
are
taking
donations,
and
we
did
also
just
get
10
AC
units
that
may
have
already
been
all
spoken
for,
but
that's
going
to
10
Belton
families
that
needed
that
help.

Good
good
and
last
week
the
tdd,
the
transportation
district
development
District
group
met
and
discussed
bid,
letting
from
Mullen
Road
expansion.
As
soon
as
utilities
moved
I
sound
like
a
broken
record,
because
I
always
say
they're
going
to
be
moved
but
and
Verizon
has
another
six
weeks
to
move
so
I
guess
a
month
from
now.
I'll
have
the
same
thing
that
the
but
they,
hopefully,
that
Greg
rocos
is
saying
they're,
hoping
that
once
they
do,
let
the
bids
that
they'll
get
back
some
bids
by
October
18th.
A
I
Only
thing
I
have
is
that,
and
it
actually
coincides
very
nicely
with
the
award
meeting
that's
being
held
in
Ward
four.
Is
it
is
fy25
budget
season
about
to
kick
off,
and
so
we
need
to
start
planning
our
award
meetings
for
the
budget
process,
and
so
it
would
be
very
easy
for
us
to
just
dovetail
with
the
word,
meaning
you
guys
already
have
set
for
that
Ward.
So
we'll
need
to
set
out
three
other
dates
and
times
for
award
meetings.
D
Yep
staff
is
currently
reviewing
a
special
use.
Permit
application
for
an
update
to
the
Aaron's
Fun
Center
poll
sign,
which
is
at
the
corner
of
58
Highway
and
Aaron
Lane.
The
applicant
is
requesting
to
replace
the
changeable
copy
sign
to
an
electronic
message.
Center
sign
on
the
overall
sign
area
will
not
change
as
part
of
the
modification.
F
So
if
you
remember
back
a
few
months,
we
had
a
resident
come
to
the
council
meeting
and
talk
about
the
speed
on
Cambridge.
Since
then,
I
got
a
lot
of
different
comments
from
different
people,
especially
noting
that
the
speed
limit
on
Cambridge
is
35
miles
per
hour
to
the
east
of
Cedar,
about
25
miles
an
hour
to
the
west
of
cedar.
F
It's
an
arterial
Road
in
the
city,
and
so
most
arterial
roads
are
listed
at
35
35
miles
per
hour.
So
we
conducted
a
speed,
study
and
went
out
and
checked
what
the
speeds
were
because
of
what
he
had
said
and
what
other
people
have
commented
to
me
and
had
called
me
about.
So
from
that
speed
study,
we
had
over
10
000
cars
that
actually
we
got
their
speed
over
six
days.
So
there
is,
you
know,
considerable
amount
of
traffic
going
down
the
road
and
the
85th
percentile.
F
And
if
you
remember
in
our
last
little
discussion
on
speed,
is
the
speed
that
we
would
like
to
set.
The
speed
limits
at
is
known
to
be
the
safest
speed
that
people
travel.
The
85th
percentile
speed
came
out
at
35
miles
per
hour
on
Cambridge,
and
so
we
are
going
to
propose
well,
first
we're
going
to
get
your
feedback,
but
we
would
like
to
propose
turning
changing
the
speed
limit
from
25
miles
an
hour
to
35
miles
an
hour
from
Cedar
to
the
West
city
limit,
which
is
against
Cleveland.
F
Now
this,
the
reduced
speed
limit
by
the
schools
would
still
be
there,
so
still
be
25
miles
an
hour
in
front
of
the
schools
when
school's
going
on.
So
that
would
not
change
it's
just
the
rest
of
the
road
would
be
consistent.
All
the
way
across
from
peculiar
drive
all
the
way
to
our
West
city
limits.
L
L
Okay,
I
was
just
curious
if
the
35
was
really
actually
35..
I
have
a
suspicion
on
that
and
then.
My
second
question
is:
we
have
a
lot
of
Walkers
that
come
home
from
Cambridge
and
there
is
a
large
stretch
there
on
Cedar
that
doesn't
have
sidewalks.
Are
there
any
plans
or
anything
of
that
sort
for
those
Walkers
that
are
walking
home
next
to
35
mile
per
hour
cars
now.
F
Well,
we
connected
the
sidewalks
that
were
out
there,
so
you
notice,
when
we
put
the
new
Culvert
and
we
put
the
sidewalk
in
which
made
the
connection
from
Timber
Creek
all
the
way
up
to
the
school.
We
actually
went
and
fixed
a
lot
of
the
broken
sidewalk
that
were
in
between
the
two.
So
there
would
be
a
continuous
sidewalk
out
there.
I.
F
C
That's
way
back
where
there's
a
rest
home
that's
way
back
and
on
the
west,
where
there's
houses
in
a
normal
neighborhood
right
up
against
the
street
on
both
sides
of
the
road
and
children
playing
in
those
yards
and
I.
Think
that
was
part
of
the
reason
the
the
resident
came,
because
he
has
kids
and
there's
kids
on
that
hill
and
they
top
the
Hill
from
coming
West
coming
east
from
Cleveland,
and
they
just
go
down
that
Hill
35
miles
an
hour.
C
F
F
A
H
A
A
I
So
the
idea
or
concept
of
changing
the
speed
limit
to
35
to
match
arterial
streets
in
our
city
is,
if
we
don't
do
it,
we're
just
essentially
just
kicking
the
can
down
the
road
to
someone
eventually
in
the
very
near
future.
We
hope
based
on
development
patterns
and
what
we're
going
to
do
in
the
future.
Again
we'll
defer
to
your
judgment
on
this,
because
it
may
not
be
time
to
do
that
yet,
but
at
some
point
it's
probably
gonna
have
to
be
handled.
A
C
D
Yeah
staff
is
currently
drafting
the
UDC
tax
amendments
that
would
modify
the
existing
landlord
business
license
requirement.
That's
currently
in
chapter
six
of
the
code
of
ordinances.
This
modification
would
include
removing
the
landlord
business
license
requirement
and
requiring
a
rental
property
registration
through
chapter
10
of
the
UDC
to
go
along
with
the
rental
inspection
program
that
was
passed
by
council
at
the
last
meeting.
D
This
program
would
allow
the
owner
of
real
of
rental
property
to
register
all
units
and
pay
a
single
fee
to
cover
all
rental
inspections
during
the
designated
time
period,
like
with
a
current
rental,
current
landlord
business
license
registration
is
non-transferable.
Therefore,
if
the
property
is
sold,
all
properties
would
have
to
be
registered
by
the
new
owner.
Separate
business
license
licenses
for
property
managers
will
still
be
required
and
will
refer
back
to
chapter
six
as
part
of
the
definition
update
staff
will
has
been
to
discuss
previously
on
a
local
point
of
contact.
D
Local
point
of
contact
staff
is
currently
reviewing
other
policies
from
other
communities
to
determine
the
most
common
and
appropriate
time
or
distance
requirements
for
that
local
point
of
contact.
In
addition
to
changing
the
registration
process,
the
amendment
will
also
include
adding
the
combined
rental
registration
action
fee,
which
is
proposed
to
be
twenty
dollars
per
unit.
A
public
hearing
is
scheduled
for
the
Planning
Commission
on
Tuesday
September
5th,
and
then
this
item
will
come
before
the
council.
After
that.
L
L
L
D
I
Mr
Mayor,
if
I
may
and
then
the
twenty
dollars
generally
the
way
this
works
is
when
these
these
things
go
into
effect.
The
landlords
add
this:
whatever
the
fee
is
onto
the
rent
right,
so
they
you
know
they're
not
generally
going
to
eat
those
costs.
20
a
year
is,
is
less
than
two
dollars
a
month,
for
you
know
for
the
how
that
would
change
your
rent
potentially,
so
we
thought
that
for
two
dollars
or
a
month
in
rent,
we
thought
that
was
worthwhile.
