Overland Park Planning Commission Meeting April 8, 2002 Page 12 Mrs. Karr relayed that the applicant is requesting a rezoning from R-1, Single-Family Residential to R-1A, Small-Lot, Single-Family Residential District, to allow additional residential development. She said the applicant intends to develop two single-family homes on the existing lot. The applicant’s lot is 100 feet wide by 145 feet deep, and the R-1A district allows a minimum lot width of 50 feet with an average lot depth of 100 feet. Mrs. Karr said the R-1 District requires a minimum lot width of 70 feet and an average lot depth of 115 feet. The applicant has indicated that they intend to split the lot lengthways for two development parcels. Mrs. Karr advised that the Future Development Plan identified this property for medium-density residential uses. The Master Plan also identifies R-1A zoning as an appropriate designation in that medium-density residential category; therefore, the applicant’s request is in conformance with the Master Plan. Staff Comments relayed that the application area was part of a study area in 1994. At that time, the Planning Commission and the City Council affirmed the mediumdensity designation. Mrs. Karr said in addition, there were criteria from the Master Plan identified as an important consideration for any development within the study area. She said that policy is outlined in Staff Comments and relates to compatibility with infill development. The study area also recommended requiring that all mediumdensity residential development comply with principles related to being in scale with the neighborhood, similar building orientations and compatible architectural design. After reviewing the applicant’s request, Mrs. Karr said staff recommends approval of this rezoning request with stipulation a shown in Staff Comments. Mr. Sanders noted that the application has an address on 87th Street, and the new houses, if approved, will be on Melrose. He asked if the address would be changed to show a Melrose address. Mrs. Karr believed that was correct. Mr. Mitch Ashlock, 100 East Park Street, Olathe, Kansas, explained that the address used on the application was taken off a former house that used to be here years ago. He agreed that it should be changed to Melrose, and agreed with stipulation a. Chairman Hunter opened the public hearing, but with no one wanting to comment on this item, the public hearing was closed. Mrs. Conrad stated that this is a wonderful infill project. She was delighted to see the applicant build two patio-type homes in this location. Mrs. Conrad then moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of Rezoning No. 2002-6 at 10424 West 87th Street, with stipulation a. After a second by Mr. Sanders, the motion carried by a 9 to 0 vote. REZONING NO. 2002-7 – 8800 West 95th Street. Rezoning requested from C-2, General Business District to CP-2, Planned General Business District, to allow for commercial development. Application made by Klover Architects, Inc. (Approved)
Overland Park Planning Commission Meeting April 8, 2002 Page 13 Planner Keith Gooch stated that the applicant is requesting a rezoning from C-2, General Business District to CP-2, Planned General Business District, to allow for commercial development. This property is located at the northwest corner of 95th and Antioch. The applicant is requesting this rezoning to reduce the parking requirement of the UDO from five spaces per 1,000 square feet of development, as required in the C-2 district, to four spaces per 1,000 square feet of development in the CP-2 district. Mr. Gooch said this reduction in the parking requirement would allow for the construction of a 5,200 square-foot building located at the northeast corner of the shopping center. Cherokee North Shopping Center currently has a total of 41,470 square feet of retail development, and with this proposed rezoning, there would be a total of 46,670 square feet of commercial development. Mr. Gooch stated that the UDO requires 191 parking spaces with this total square footage, which is being provided on site. He relayed that the Osco Drug Store on the east side of the strip center was approved at staff level since this project was zoned C-2 and did not require Planning Commission approval. Mr. Gooch advised that a revised landscape concept has been submitted; therefore, stipulation f, shown in Staff Comments requiring additional trees, can be removed. The Site Plan Review Committee did review the exterior elevations of the proposed 5,200 square-foot building. The Committee recommended a different material than the proposed asphalt shingles over the canopy and to raise the portions of the parapet to provide differential from the rest of the cornice. Mr. Gooch advised that the applicant has changed the roofing materials to concrete tile; however, they do not want to raise portions of the roof as requested by the Site Plan Review Committee. He said staff has added a stipulation requiring that the roof be raised to provide a difference in height. The Future Development Plan Map identifies this area as commercial property, which is compatible with this request. Mr. Gooch said staff recommends approval of this rezoning, subject to stipulations a through e, with the removal of stipulation f. Mr. Russ Ehnen, Klover Architects, Inc., agreed with all stipulations. Chairman Hunter opened the public hearing. Mr. Tim Gomerdinger, 9413 Antioch, said the way the parking lot has been redesigned, a major portion of the traffic into it will spill out in front of his home. He said this shopping center has been a good neighbor, however, the new parking encroaches all the way to his property. Mr. Gomerdinger said the normal cleaning of this parking lot takes place after midnight, noting that the machine used is definitely outside of what the noise limits are for Overland Park at this hour. If this request is approved, he asked that the parking lot be cleaned at a decent hour, especially since the lot abuts residential property. With no one further to comment, Chairman Hunter closed the public hearing.
