Award to “Employees of the Month”
3. Presentation by Marion McMillen, Chairman of Trustees, of semi-annual report and audit from Shawnee Economic Development Foundation.
4. Presentation by Lori Roach on completed capital improvement projects at Shawnee Regional Airport and recommendation for future construction.
The 2001 capital improvement projects are complete and photos will be presented of the entrance gates, seal coat of the roof, hangar door repairs and runway rehabilitation. Future capital improvement projects to be discussed are rehabilitation of the old paint-shop hangar, construction of a new paint-shop hangar, and construction of new t-hangars as well as siding and painting the terminal building with an entrance sign and additional directional signs to the airport.
5. Consider a 5-year lease and rate increase with Continental Barber Shop to pay for $6,000.00 in electrical and roof repairs.
Repair estimates are as follows: roof replacement is $1,980, electrical work is $3,500.00, and foundation repair is $500.00. Although the Airport Authority denied the $900 request for roof patching, staff recommends a budget amendment to pay for the repairs from the airport authority budget and increase the rent from $80.00 to $300 to pay for the repairs over five-years. Mr. Elzey is willing to enter a 5-
year lease, paint the building at his own expense and remove the back storage area at his own expense.
6. Public hearing and consider an ordinance to rezone property located at 1229 N. Harrison from C-3; Automotive and Commercial Recreation District and R-1; Single Family Residential District to I-2; Light Industrial District for use as wholesale lubricants distribution. (Applicant: Western Marketing, Inc.) Pgs. 105-112
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval by a vote of 4-1 with one abstention. The request is not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, but is a similar to the existing land use. The area and frontage requirements exceed the minimum standards as required for I-2 zoning.
7. Public hearing and consider an ordinance to rezone property located at 196 Shawnee Mall Drive from C-3; Automotive and Commercial Recreation District, A-1; Agricultural District and CP; Planned Shopping Center District to C-3P; Automotive and Commercial Recreation District with Conditional Use Permit to allow beer sales for consumption off premises as part of food sales at store. (Applicant: Dennis Box on behalf of Wal-Mart Supercenter) Pgs. 113-124
The Planning Commission unanimously recommends approval of the rezoning to C-3 with a conditional use permit to sell beer for off-site consumption. The property exceeds the minimum area and frontage requirements for C-3 and conforms to the Comprehensive Plan.
8. Consider final plat of Shawnee Mall Subdivision – Section 2 located at 196 Shawnee Mall Drive. (Applicant: Spear & McCaleb Co. on behalf of Wal-Mart). Pgs. 125-128
This is a +/- 23 acre subdivision with a single lot. The area and frontage exceed the minimum requirements for C-3 zoning. No additional right-of-way is dedicated along the Shawnee Mall Drive. The water and sewer lines will be extended to the East for future development. The utility easements that were closed at the July 1, 2002 Commission meeting are being rededicated through this plat. The Planning Commission unanimously recommends approval of the Final Plat of the Shawnee Mall Subdivision, Section 2.
9. Consider request of David and Heather Comerate to waive public nuisance liens on property located at 101 N. Center Street. (Continued from 7/1/02) Pgs. 129-130
Staff recommends that the City not waive the liens at 101 North Center. Our recommendation is to obtain title of the property and utilize it for affordable housing. If the lien is waived, then the City loses the $30,000. By owning the property and making it available for development to the Urban Renewal Authority, then if the lien is forgiven at that time it will be considered a match for future grants. A more thorough explanation is provided in the memo in the packet.
10. Consider entering into a contract with Hornbeek Larsson Architects for parks master plan. Pgs. 131-134
Staff recommends expanding the scope of services with Hornbeek Larsson Architects, P.C. to develop a Master Plan for the City Parks. This firm is currently under contract to develop the master plan for the regional park. This contract will take a look at all city parks and determine the deficiencies of each. The final document and maps will direct the Parks Department and the Parks Committee in prioritizing needs and accomplishing long-range goals. The proposed contract amount is $42,000 and is outlined in the packet.
11. Consider leasing to Charles and Julie Ackerman one acre of land for lake access. Pgs. 135-138
Charlie and Julie Ackerman have a contract to purchase a one-acre tract of land at the Northeast corner of Patterson and Lake Roads. All land between this property and Twin Lake #1 is owned by the City of Shawnee. The land has never been leased and is not identified as a lot and tract. The Ackermans' request to lease land, so that they will have access to the lake from the site. The contract can specify that the property cannot be built upon. The Ackermans mentioned that they desire to erect accessory structures and possibly a boat dock. Since this is the only property with near immediate lake access, staff recommends entering into a contract for a one-acre site.
12. Consider an ordinance relating to sign maintenance and removal of abandoned or obsolete signs. Pgs. 139-140
The Beautification Committee unanimously recommends approval of the proposed ordinances pertaining to signs being treated as public nuisances. The current ordinances do not include signs and as a result there is no enforcement of dilapidated, poorly maintained, or abandoned signs. This ordinance will allow the Public Nuisance Officer to require a dilapidated sign to be fixed or removed. It also states that a sign must be removed after 12 months of the business being removed. There are many signs around town that advertise businesses that haven't been in operation for many years.
