ESTATES.
The bill was given second
reading by the Clerk.
Mr. Beck noted that approval
had been recommended unanimously by the Planning and Zoning Commission as
well as by the staff. The recommendation was for R-1.
Mr. Janku said when this
property was annexed they had talked about sending some information to the
new residents. He asked if the staff had followed up. Mr. Beck
said the staff had sent them a letter outlining the City services available
to them and when they would be available.
Mayor Hindman opened the
public hearing.
There being no comment, Mayor
Hindman closed the public hearing.
Mayor Hindman welcomed the

with the vote recorded as follows: VOTING YES: HINDMAN, COBLE,
JANKU, CROCKETT, CAMPBELL, KRUSE, HARLINE. VOTING NO: NO ONE. Bill
declared enacted, reading as follows:
OLD BUSINESS
B323-96 APPROVING
WORK ON THE GREEN VALLEY DRIVE BRIDGE REHABILITATION
PROJECT.
The bill was given second
reading by the Clerk.
Prior to beginning work on
this project, Mr. Beck explained that there had been a report sent to the
Council. He said they had tried to preserve the older bridges around
Columbia across the Hinkson Creek, particularly this one and the one at Ashland
Gravel Road. He said this particular bridge had been brought to Columbia
from Cooper County. He said it had not required a lot of maintenance
over the years so the time had come to do some major rehabilitation work
on it. The total project cost is $43,667.88. He said funds had
been used from the County Road Sales Tax allocated to the City for this particular
project. He pointed out that it provides a second entrance into this
fairly large developed area.
B323-96 was given third reading
with the vote recorded as follows: VOTING YES: HINDMAN, COBLE,
JANKU, CROCKETT, CAMPBELL, KRUSE, HARLINE. VOTING NO: NO ONE. Bill
declared enacted, reading as follows:
B325-96 GRANTING
VARIANCE RE: SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION ON LOTS 21, 22, 23, AND 24 OF
OAKWOOD
HILLS, BLOCK 7.
The bill was given second
reading by the Clerk.
Mr. Beck noted that this
was an older one-block long cul-de-sac street that has no sidewalks on it
now. He said there was a request to have a waiver on one of the lots
and after the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the situation they
were recommending that a waiver be provided for all of the lots at the end
of the cul-se-sac. He said there was no sidewalk system in the area
that walks could connect with. Mr. Kruse said as much as
he loved sidewalks, he thought this was an appropriate request.
Mr. Janku said it was pointed
out in the Commission minutes that eventually someone could come back and
require that the walks be built. He didn't think that was likely.
B325-96 was given third reading
with the vote recorded as follows: VOTING YES: HINDMAN, COBLE,
JANKU, CROCKETT, CAMPBELL, KRUSE, HARLINE. VOTING NO: NO ONE. Bill
declared enacted, reading as follows:
B329-96 ACCEPTING
CONVEYANCE FOR THE FORMER ARMORY PROPERTY AT 701 E. ASH.
The bill was given second
reading by the Clerk.
Mr. Beck noted that all of
the paper work had been completed on transferring the title of the old building
to the City of Columbia. He said the staff was appreciative of the
National Guard working through the paper trail that has been handled by the
Governor's office. He pointed out that when the Armory was built the
City of Columbia provided the land on which the Armory was built. He
said it had been built with WPA money like some other facilities in town
in the 1930's. He said the City had put up the local match money to
build the Armory and it was nice to see the investment returned. He
said when the new Armory was built just north of town the County Commission
furnished the land. He noted that the County had requested the use
of some space at the old Armory and there was an agreement in effect wherein
they would have use of some of the lower level. He said the staff would
be bringing to the Council an updated plan as to how the building would be
used. He said the Council had approved a budget that included some
CDBG money to be used for some upgrading to ADA standards and that sort of
thing. He said they were taking proposals from an architectural firm
to actually do the detailed plans on the building, along with the fire station. He
said they would be coming back to the Council shortly to update them.
Mayor Hindman suggested that
the public let their Council person know how they would like to see the building
used. His feelings were that it would make a good downtown recreational
facility and would serve as an important asset to the neighborhood.
Mr. Janku suggested that
they ask the Parks and Recreation Commission to hold a public hearing on
it before the plans are finalized. Mayor Hindman agreed. Mr.
Janku asked if there were any plans to upgrade the parking area. Unlike
some of the other City lots, he said there was no landscaping. Mr.
Beck said they could look at a landscape plan. He said there was some
fenced off paved area that was used for parking Guard equipment and vehicles. He
said they were planning to open it up as a temporary parking area because
right now there was a deficit amount of parking spaces available at the Armory
lot. It was agreed that landscaping would be part of the final planning
for the building itself.
B329-96 was given third reading
with the vote recorded as follows: VOTING YES: HINDMAN, COBLE,
JANKU, CROCKETT, CAMPBELL, KRUSE, HARLINE. VOTING NO: NO ONE. Bill
declared enacted, reading as follows:

FOR
A CDBG GRANT.
The resolution was read by

Mr. Beck explained that this
simply works out an agreement on money that has been allocated for the purpose
of affordable housing.
The vote on R159-96 was recorded
as follows: VOTING YES: HINDMAN, COBLE, JANKU, CROCKETT, CAMPBELL,
KRUSE, HARLINE. VOTING NO: NO ONE. Resolution declared
adopted, reading as follows:
R160-96 APPROVING
THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF HUNT MANOR, PHASE 1.
The resolution was read by
the Clerk.
Mr. Beck pointed out that
recommendation for approval had been given by both the Commission and the
staff. He said it would create twenty-two R-2 lots at the southwest
corner of Nifong and Rock Quarry Road.
Mr. Campbell asked about
the average square footage of the lots. Mr. Hancock said he didn't
have that information, but they would be at least 10,000 square feet. He
said the information would be provided at the time the final plat comes through. Mr.
Campbell said he was concerned about undersized lots. Mr. Hancock said
he thought they would have something close to the minimum or a little more.
Ms. Coble said she was concerned
about the traffic demands in existence presently at that intersection. She
asked if prior to the building there might be an opportunity to come up with
some interim proposals for dealing with the traffic. Mr. Patterson
said after Ms. Coble had asked about the situation they had written to the
Highway Department since it would have to be a joint effort. He said
they had not yet received a response, but would continue to follow up on
it.
During the initial discussion
at the time of rezoning, Mr. Janku said he thought they had talked about
some access to Nifong. He asked if that would be reflected on the final
plat. Mr. Hancock said an access easement straddling the lots would
be reflected on the final plat.
The vote on R160-96 was recorded
as follows: VOTING YES: HINDMAN, COBLE, JANKU, CROCKETT, CAMPBELL,
KRUSE, HARLINE. VOTING NO: NO ONE. Resolution declared
adopted, reading as follows:
R161-96 AUTHORIZING
AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY RE: SIDEWALK
CONSTRUCTION
ALONG PROVIDENCE ROAD.
The resolution was read by
the Clerk.
Mr. Beck said this would
provide that the University pay the City $19,000 toward the project because
of the frontage they own. He said the City would be paying about $50,000
for the remaining part of the project. He said this would fill in the
gap where there is no sidewalk along Providence Road.
Mr. Campbell said when this
first came up he had raised the issue of inadequate drainage on part of the
road surface in the area. He asked if that had been taken up with the
Highway Department. Mr. Patterson explained that the curb sections
in that area were being reconstructed to address that situation.
Mr. Janku asked if the stormwater
funds would help pay for this project since it has stormwater impact. Mr.
Beck said unless it needs piping of some significance he doubted they could
use stormwater money. He said the project was really associated with
the sidewalk. Mr. Patterson said it didn't involve piping.
Mr. Campbell asked that the
staff check the situation very carefully because of the low spot where water
stands on the road and splashes out onto what would be the sidewalk. He
said it would make a very icy mess unless it was carefully engineered and
constructed along the area.
The vote on R161-96 was recorded
as follows: VOTING YES: HINDMAN, COBLE, JANKU, CROCKETT, CAMPBELL,
KRUSE, HARLINE. VOTING NO: NO ONE. Resolution declared

REPORTS AND PETITIONS
(A) CULTURAL
AFFAIRS COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION FOR ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS OF
ART.
Mr. Beck said if the Council
wanted to proceed the next step would be to have it put in ordinance form.
Mr. Campbell made the motion
that the staff be directed to prepare the ordinance. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Janku and approved unanimously by voice vote.
Mayor Hindman said he agreed
that the Cultural Arts Commission should have input, but wondered if the
other agency affected; i.e., the Parks and Recreation Department, Library,
etc., should have some appropriateness type input also. It was agreed
that whomever was responsible for the site would have input.
Mr. Harline thought the provisions
of acceptance seemed to be very restrictive. Mr. Campbell said being
associated with the Art world he thought there was a lot of it they would
want to be a little cautious about accepting. Mr. Janku pointed out
that the first sentence read that the City of Columbia, Missouri encourages
the gift of appropriate works of art. Mr. Harline thought it could
be phrased a little differently.
(B) STREET
CLOSURE REQUESTS.
Ms. Coble made the motion
that the street closure requests be granted as submitted. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Campbell and approved unanimously by voice vote.
(C) BOARD
OF HEALTH REPORT RE: ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE.
Mr. Kruse made the motion
that three separate ordinances be prepared to deal with the three issues.
He said there was mention in the report, assuming
that one of the ordinances would pass, that there be certain open spaces
designated. He thought it would be good to have that type of information
developed by the staff so the Council would have some options available if
the ordinance were to pass. Mayor Hindman said that was probably something
Parks and Recreation needed to look at and come back with some suggestions
as to where that might be done.
Mr. Harline asked that they
receive the minutes of the last Board of Health meeting when the issue was
discussed.
The motion made by Mr. Kruse
was seconded by Mr. Campbell and approved unanimously by voice vote.
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
None.
COMMENTS OF COUNCIL, STAFF AND PUBLIC
Mr. Campbell asked that the
staff report back regarding the need for a stop sign at Grant Lane and Chapel
Hill.
Mrs. Crockett asked about
the status of a stop sign at the corner of Ninth and Ash. Mr. Patterson
said they had received the preliminary MODOT study funded by the Missouri
Highway Department. He said they were trying to put together a report
for the Council on the recommendation made in the study. He said the
staff had some concerns with the findings, but it would be coming to the
Council within the next few meetings.
Regarding the renovations
to the Daniel Boone Building, Mr. Harline asked if they were looking into
energy conservation matters and things that could save the City money in
the long run. Mayor Hindman said that was underway. He said they
had a meeting with DNR and some of the people specifically interested in
the energy savings. He said they were in the process of working out
a program and looking at loans that are available through DNR.
Mr. Janku said a while back
he had asked about replacing some trees on Blue Ridge next to Oakland Park. He
said the staff had been working on how to put it together and Mr. Beck had
sent him a memo about the Water and Light Department having to plant some
replacement trees in the park. He suggested that would be the means
of funding the planting. He said if the trees were going to have to
be replaced by one City department they might as well be part of the street
planting and that way they could be funded without any extra cost.
Regarding Park DeVille at
the intersection with Broadway and Route TT, Mr. Janku said there was a spot
where there had once been a planting. He said it didn't appear there
was much interest in an Adopt-A-Spot sponsor. He said there needed
to be some sort of reflectors or something because people wouldn't see the
island. He thought in the future it may need to be removed.
Mr. Janku said he had asked
about a report earlier regarding designated bicycle lanes on Ash Street west
of Clinkscales.
Paul Albert, 2703 Parker,
talked about black roofing on new housing on Oakland Road.
John Simon, 301 Crown Pointe
Road, said he wanted to discourage the Council from even thinking about extending
the leash law to include cats. He said it would be unnatural to include
cats, it wouldn't work, and would lead to citizen nullification like the
City has never experienced.
Mayor Hindman pointed out
that including cats in the leash law had not been mentioned as part of the
proposed ordinance from the Board of Health.
The meeting adjourned at
7:45 p.m.
Respectfully
submitted,
Launa
