SU-2004-03:
Public Hearing on an application for Special Use to establish a mini storage
facility in the B-2 Neighborhood Business District on Lots 1, 2, and 3 of
Block A of the Branson Subdivision. Clark
Nelson asked the members to refer to the memo provided by Les Mangus for further information.
Paul
Cavanaugh, architect from Places Architects, Wichita, Kansas, represented the
property owners Don & Jeff Walenta. Paul said this property is on the
southwest corner of 2nd Street and Andover Road. He said this plan
is for a 13,000 square foot retail center on the site and the owner is asking
to build a mini storage facility along the west property line. Future
development shown on the site drawing is a restaurant on the north side. The
site will be surrounded by an 8’ high poured concrete fence that will have
the look of slump block. The eave of the storage facility roof will be 8’
tall to prevent any view of the buildings except for the roof line from Andover Road. On the north end will be a keyed access gate. The property owners do not want
the view of the storage buildings to detract from the surrounding properties
or the upscale design of the retail center.
Paul
said there is a 10’ easement on the west side between the west property line
and the concrete wall which will allow for maintenance access of the grounds.
There are 7,000 square feet of mini storage buildings in this proposed development.
Clark
Nelson asked about the total number of storage units being proposed. Paul
said there will be approximately 20 (10’x15’) units.
Clark asked if the storage is limited to the interior of
the building. Paul said there will be no exterior parking available.
Clark asked if there would be access to these storage
units from the south. Paul said the only access would be on the north end at 2nd Street which will be a swipe-card key lock.
There
was general discussion about the future plans of the retail center and
restaurant on this site. Paul said they will continue working with the Site
Plan Review Committee concerning architecture, aesthetics, building
materials, and landscaping. Clark asked if the designated future restaurant
area would ever have mini storage buildings on it. Paul said the owner would
never consider mini storage units along Andover Road.
Lynn
Heath asked about the dumpster area outside the entrance to the storage
facility. Paul said that is an enclosed area which is a continuation of the
8’ concrete wall. It will service both the retail center and restaurant.
Lynn asked if the only access to the storage facility
would be off of 2nd Street, and if it would be paved. Paul said it
would be paved from 2nd Street and the entrance could be accessed
from both Andover Road and 2nd Street.
Charlotte
Bass asked if there will be an office for the storage facility. Paul said
there will be a tenant in the retail center that will oversee this business.
Ron
Roberts asked if the mini storage would have a flat roof. Paul said it will
have a shallow slope pitch roof. Each of the units will have a fiberglass
roll-up overhead door.
Clark
Nelson said the special use request appears to encompass the entire site and
he wondered if a friendly amendment to limit the storage units to those
depicted on the drawing would be appropriate. Paul said the owner would be
okay with that.
Clark
Nelson asked if anyone else was present to speak in favor or against these
storage units. Hearing none, Chairman Nelson closed the Public Hearing 7:18
p.m. to consider the 17 factors and findings.
Clark asked if the mini storage units are permitted
without a special use permit within this B-2 District. Les said they are not.
Clark asked if any of the members needed to disqualify
themselves due to ex-parte communications or conflict of interest. There were
none. Notice for this case was published in the Andover Journal-Advocate on
August 26, 2004 and notices were mailed to the adjacent landowners on August
18, 2004.

Concur. Clark Nelson said the applicant has adequately addressed
the screening of this site. Lynn Heath asked if more screening would be
required to the west. Les said no other would be required other than between
the business and the multi-family area and there are no longer standards for
that screening but would be at the approval of the Site Plan Review
Committee. Les said this applicant has been before the SPRC in preliminary
form only. Les said the conditions for mini storage are listed on page 4-4 of
the Zoning Regulations.
Quentin Coon asked if the west storage wall would be
across the entire back. Paul said it just goes from the south property line
to the trash enclosure. The homeowners have existing fences along the back. Les
said a final plan would have to be presented to the Site Plan Review
Committee for approval and that after the special use is decided, the
Planning Commission will no longer have control over screening issues. Les
said there will be screening required between the future new business and the
adjacent R-3 Multi-Family homes.

Ron
Roberts said the lighting issue has not been addressed. Les said the
conditions for mini storage require all lights shall be shielded to direct
light on the uses established and away from adjacent property, however they
may be of sufficient intensity to discourage vandalism and theft.
Keith
Zinn asked if the new fence would be concrete. Paul said yes it would be.
Keith asked if there is an existing chain link fence. Paul said there is an
existing wood fence which is on the property line and the concrete wall will
be built 10’8” from the existing wood fence. Keith was concerned about an
unmanageable maintenance area.
Jan
Cox is concerned about the building materials of the metal storage facility.
Paul said the building will be steel framed with metal wall panels, and metal
exterior siding, similar to a pre-engineered building. Paul said most of the
traffic will only be able to see the edge of the roof.
Jan
asked if a survey has been done concerning the demand for more storage units
in the City of Andover. Paul said the owner has done a feasibility study and
said there is a need for a storage facility like this one.
Les
asked Paul about the distance off of the west property line that would
accommodate the needs from the property line to the eastern edge of the
eastern building. Paul said it is 78’ from the property line to the eastern
edge of the mini storage. Approximately 220’ from north to south. Clark asked if the owner would be satisfied with the motion limited to 220’ x 80’. Paul
said the owner would agree to that restriction.
Having
considered the evidence at the hearing and the factors to evaluate the
rezoning application, I Quentin Coon move that we recommend to the Governing
Body that Case No. SU-2004-03 be modified and approved to allow a special use
of a mini storage based upon the findings of the Planning Commission as
recorded in this summary hearing based upon 7, 10, 12, and 13. The mini
storage shall be restricted to the southwest 80’x 220’ portion. Lynn Heath
seconded the motion. Motion carried 6/1 with Jan Cox in opposition.

SU-2004-04:
Public Hearing on an application for Special Use to establish a country store
in the B-5 Highway Business District at the southwest corner of US-54 and
Daisy. Clark Nelson said agenda
item number 9, Final Plat for the River at Andover is related to this
property and to accommodate the developers, the issues will be dealt with
consecutively.
Dave
Matson from Purina Mills, Wichita, Kansas, and partner of property owner Hal
McCoy said this store will be marketing items relating to pets and the
“country” lifestyle. He said this is not a “tractor supply store” or typical
feed store.
Dave
Matson said the store will be located at the southwest corner of Daisy and
US-54 and this property will be replatted as 1 lot. The main store will be
14,000 square feet, with the garden center/hay storage facility which will be
located in an east- west direction. The parking will be around the perimeter
of the buildings with an entrance on the south end of the property and the
main entrance on the east end, and one toward the north end of the east side
of the property.
Dave
Matson submitted proposed site elevation and floor plans of the country
store/ garden center building. He said most of the existing trees will be
saved as the property is developed. Most outdoor sales will relate to the
garden center (bedding plants, trees, shrubs, etc.)
Lynn
Heath asked if Daisy Street would be renamed in the commercial area. Les said
that is a platting item and will be discussed during the next agenda item.
Clark asked Les if he is in favor of this application.
Les said there is nothing specific in the Zoning Regulations that address a
“country store”. Lynn Heath read from the Zoning Regulations #13 of Special
Uses “other special uses not otherwise specifically listed”.
Clark
Nelson asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak in favor or
opposition of this request. Hearing none, Chairman Nelson closed the Public
Hearing at 7:52 p.m.
Clark asked the Planning Commission if they had received any ex-parte communication or
needed to disqualify themselves for any reason with respect to this matter.
Hearing none, Clark Nelson said notice for this case was published in the
Andover Journal-Advocate on August 26, 2004 and notices were mailed to the
required landowners on August 23, 2004.

Quentin
Coon was concerned about the application which states “a country store
including, but not limited to”. Les said those words were crafted by Bickley Foster who suggested there be some words that suggest the intent but not limited to that
because a country store also sells chicks on Easter, Christmas trees during
that season, and seasonal items that will change often. Quentin asked if that
would allow a kennel. Les said it would have to be something in the “country
store” intent. If any pets were sold, they would have to be kept inside the store;
otherwise the outdoor kennels would have to be called out. Lynn Heath said
the application states retail sale which is more specific.
Clark
Nelson asked if the Planning Commission loses control over the development if
it is approved tonight. Les said the country store must only sell items that
stay within that theme.

|
|
|
|
|
Having
considered the evidence at the hearing and the factors to evaluate the
rezoning application, I Ron Roberts, move that we recommend to the Governing
Body that Case No. SU-2004-04 be approved for the special use to include a
country store based upon the findings of the Planning Commission as recorded
in the summary of this hearing, based on #6, 10, 13, and 14. Quentin Coon
seconded the motion. Motion carried 7/0.

Review
the Final PUD for the River Subdivision, a replat of portions of the Allen
Bales Tracts and Carl Mitchell Addition located at US-54 and Daisy Street. Les Mangus said there was additional information given to each
member from Hal McCoy regarding his intent for restrictive covenants and Les
has now received the title report.
Quentin
Coon asked Les when the Preliminary Plat was done for this property. Les said
this is a replat because 4 different plats are being platted into 1. Les said
that all the issues in the contents of the checklist have been addressed with
the exception of the naming of Cloud Avenue and Daisy Street.
Kenny
Hill of Poe & Associates said the owner; Hal McCoy wants to change the
name of Daisy Street to Riverview. Pointer Drive has been changed to Cloud Avenue which connects to the existing street.
Clark
Nelson asked if anything was being done with regard to the south access
point. Kenny Hill said for the residential termination of Daisy Street, a
hammerhead turnaround would be provided.
There
was discussion whether that access would be continued through this addition
or terminated with a gate that would provide access for emergency vehicles.
Kenny would like to see this determined when the site plan is developed for
this particular lot, which would then return to the Site Plan Review Committee
for review. Les said Kenny’s suggestion is acceptable to him.
Lynn
Heath said he lives on Daisy Street and he does not have a problem with
leaving access open on Daisy into the commercial area. There was general
discussion about delivery trucks for the commercial area, using Daisy Street, which is a gravel road.
Kenny
Hill suggested not making a decision on this access until it is to be
developed. Les said the solution could be a simple set of fire gates. Kenny
said they are not restricting access by the plat, but it will be available
through a platted right-of-way into the commercial lot.
Hal
McCoy, owner of this property, said this access was designed to accommodate
the possible desire of the residential area to enter the commercial area. Mr.
McCoy said he will agree with the Planning Commission decision either way.
Keith
Zinn was concerned about the dead end for Daisy Street residential area. Les
said there are 2 houses shown on the plat that face Daisy Street, and that
block is only 400’ long. The next block down is Feather Street that runs east
and west parallel to Pointer. A house is at the corner of Pointer Street and
Allen that would continue to face the new Cloud Avenue., so the only real
change in access would be the one block from Feather to what was Pointer.
Jeff
Syrios was concerned about Fire & EMS service into that neighborhood if Daisy Street is dead ended. Les is not concerned about the 1 block long cul-de-sac being in
danger. Quentin Coon asked Kenny why Lot 2 Block 1 is not split. Kenny Hill
said it is because the entire development is under 1 ownership.
Jan
Cox asked about the perimeter screening for this development. Les said
screening is required along the south property where it is adjacent to
residentially zoned properties, but screening is not required where a street
separates commercial and residential uses, but a 10’ landscape strip would be
required along the other side of the street between the business and the
residence. Les said that screening will be addressed at the Site Plan Review
Committee when the buildings are developed.
Lynn
Heath asked if sidewalks would be required along Cloud Avenue. Kenny Hill
said all sidewalks proposed are within the reserves around the pond which are
shown on the site plan. Les said the City Council will require 8’ sidewalks
along Cloud Avenue which would mirror the 8’ sidewalk on Cloud east of Andover Road. Les said there will be a stoplight that will be triggered by further
development on the Cloud City project. Les said that does not need to show on
the replat. The City Council reviews and accepts the plans for street and
drainage.
Quentin
Coon made a motion to approve the Final PUD for the River Subdivision as
presented. Lynn Heath seconded the motion. Motion carried 7/0.
Quentin
Coon restated the motion to approve the Final Plat for the River Subdivision
subject to the Restrictive Covenant as set forth on the letter dated
September 20, 2004 from Hal McCoy to Les Mangus to be included on the replat,
and with the issue of the termination of Daisy Street being open until it is
developed on that lot. Lynn Heath seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Review the Final PUD Plan for the Crescent Lakes Addition Phase 4: Kenny Hill with Poe and Associates, said this is the final
plat for Parcel A and Parcel B. Parcel A was approved previously in final
form and now a part of the 80 acres has been added to the east and they are
platting 18 lots of that proposed plan and including it with Parcel A. He
said all of staff comments have been complied with. A drainage plan has been
submitted as required. The title report was submitted tonight.
Kenny said this will all be Single-Family Residential
District. Les said there is a mortgage holder that will be listed on the
plat. Lynn Heath asked if all the sidewalks have been listed on the plat.
Kenny Hill said they have been and they will be 8’ with one short section of
5’ on Woodstone in Parcel A.

BZA-V-2004-08: Public Hearing on an application for a
variance of the required 300 square foot maximum accessory structure area
limitation for the purpose of construction of a 21’x27’ detached workshop in
the R-2 Single-Family Residential District at 835 Highland Drive. Brian
with B&R Construction represented the owner Larry Thompson, said this
completed building will mimic the home in regards to construction, window
& siding materials, etc. Brian said this will be no closer than 15 feet
to the home. He said the lots to the rear of this property are farmland.
Brian said the owner wants to park personal vehicles in this garage.
Lynn Heath asked if access to this new garage will be on
the west side of the home. Brian said that on the west side of the lot, there
is 8’ between the home and the property line. Charlotte Bass asked if this
structure would be for private or commercial use. Brian said it is for
personal use only.
Homeowner Larry Thompson of 835 Highland Drive said he
owns a 1940 Ford pickup that he wants to park in the garage. He said no
neighbors have objected to this application.
Jan Cox asked how the vehicles will enter the new shop.
Larry Thompson said he has an attached 3 car garage and the 3rd
car area has a door in the rear to drive through into the back yard.
Keith Zinn asked if the neighbors have been notified of
this case. Clark Nelson said the notice of this hearing was published in the
Andover Journal-Advocate on August 26, 2004 and mailed to the appropriate
owners on August 24, 2004.
Jan Cox asked if the existing structure in the rear yard
would remain. Larry Thompson said the 13’x 18’ existing structure is in the
process of being demolished.
Hearing no further public comment, Clark Nelson closed
the Public Hearing at 8:48 p.m.
Lynn Heath made a motion that based upon the
application this request meets the criteria for Section C-2 pertaining to
maximum side and front yard setback which gives the Planning Commission
authority to discuss and decide this issue. Quentin Coon seconded the motion.
Motion carried 7/0.
