Letter from Zach Goff and 4 e-mails of opposition at Chapman Farms” / West of SW 7 Highway between SW Mike Mallon, Acting Director, Community Development, stated that before the Mason School Road and SW Planning Commission is a request to rezone, a PUD Concept Plan, and a Brookside Drive, and south of Preliminary Plat for Earhart Estates at Chapman Farms. The rezoning request is SW Brookside Drive to specifically rezone a 29.20 +\- acre portion of the overall 39.04 +\- acres. The (Related to Agenda Items 2 & requested rezoning is from “SF-7/PUD/R-O” (Single-Family/Planned Unit 6) (Continued from Development/Restricted Overlay) and “CB/PUD/R-O” (Central February 10, 2020 Planning Business/PUD/R-O) to “MF-14/PUD/R-O” (Moderate Density Multi- Commission meeting.) Family/Planned Unit Development/Restricted Overlay). The remaining portion of the 39.04 +\- acres is zoned “SF-7/PUD/R-O” (Single-Family/Planned Unit & Development/Restricted Overlay) and will stay as such. AGENDA 6 The PUD Concept Plan and the Preliminary Plat will encompass the entire 39.04 PRELIMINARY PLAT / +\- acres. The project proposes a 338-unit apartment community and 17-lot PP-01-20-7210 / “Earhart single family detached development. This will include garden style and Estates at Chapman Farms” / townhouse style apartments, as well as a 17-lot single-family detached home West of SW 7 Highway development along the western edge of the property. Those homes will have a between SW Mason School minimum floor area of 1,800 sq. ft. The apartment complex will encompass Lot Road and SW Brookside 1 & 2, the garden style apartments are located on the northeastern portion of the Drive, and south of SW site and include three-story walk-up garden-style apartments. There will be a Brookside Drive pool, clubhouse, dog play area with multiple walking trails throughout the (Related to Agenda Items 2 & development.

The single-family homes are February 10, 2020 Planning to be developed as detached house neighborhood lot. Commission meeting.) The proposed development will have access from both Mason School Road to the north leading into the north part of the apartment complex. There are also four access points off Brookside Drive, one into the north part of the apartment complex and one into the south part, and then two accesses into the single- family portion of the development on the west side. P.C. Minutes – 02.24.2020 Page 2 of 13 kf The property is part of the “NID” (Neighborhood Improvement District) and the proposed number of sewer connections can be serviced by the existing NID. Mr. Mallon stated that the PUD Concept Plan does propose some minor modifications to the underlining zoning district regulations and those will need to be approved as part of the PUD Concept Plan. Mr. Mallon described each modification. Those modifications can be reviewed in the staff report. Mr. Mallon displayed the color renderings of the architectural character of each set of buildings. Mr. Mallon stated that the buildings are of high quality and meet the residential design standards outlined in the UDC. Mr. Mallon stated that the Preliminary Plat meets all UDC requirements and the first phase will consist of the garden-style apartments, the second phase would be the townhouse style apartments, and the third phase would be the single- family homes. Mr. Mallon went through the UDC review criteria for each application which provided the criteria and staffs responses and their recommendations for each application. QUESTIONS Commissioner Ken Billups Jr. asked for clarification to the meaning of, “Garden Style Apartments.” Mr. Mallon stated that it’s an industry term that represents a three-story apartment that you walk up to a corridor of stairs, and it leads to individual units on the inside. Commissioner Lynn Banks questioned the studies that staff had mentioned in staff’s presentation in reference to single family vs multi-family. Mr. Mallon stated that he meant studies in general, like that of one produced by the Urban Land Institute another by the Kennedy School of Government that basically draw no conclusion as to whether apartments have a negative or positive impact on adjacent development. Mr. Mallon stated that there is no way to definitively measure that quantitatively or empirically without the property being appraised based upon the project that’s approved or built. Commissioner Fairbanks questioned the single-family homes, and Mr. Mallon confirmed that those homes are presented as single-family detached neighborhood lot homes and not two-family homes. Commissioner Fairbanks asked if they would be for sale or rent. Mr. Mallon stated that the City doesn’t have regulations regarding for sale or for rent properties. Commissioner Banks questioned the setback of the townhomes, and Mr. Mallon stated they meet all the building setback requirements. Commissioner Scott Casey asked staff if it was typical to rezone the townhome area to MF-14 or would there generally be a different classification for the two- family townhomes. Mr. Mallon stated that because all the townhome buildings are going to be located on one lot it meets the definition of the apartment building type. The developer has chosen to rezone all of it to MF-14, which allows the apartment complex building type. Commissioner Casey questioned in theory since that is a part of phase one the applicant could potentially change that in the future to be a full apartment complex. Mr. Mallon stated that the applicant could change it only if they came back through the Planning P.C. Minutes – 02.24.2020 Page 3 of 13 kf Commission and the City Council to change the building type. The PUD Concept Plan governs the development of the site. Commissioner Casey questioned the buffer to the single-family homes and the apartment complex. Mr. Mallon stated that there is a lot of existing vegetation in that area to help buffer the two, along with the open space. The applicant hasn’t developed the final landscape plan. The code does require adequate landscaping and buffering to help visually separate the two. That will be finalized with the PUD Final Plan / Landscape Plan. APPLICANT Jacqueline Maloney, REAL Law, LLC 301 SE Douglas, Ste. 201 Lee’s Summit, MO Ms. Maloney stated that she is legal council for the developer, Travis Kramer, Kramer Real Estate. Thomas Nolte, Nolte Associates, Architects and Planners 9400 Reeds Road Overland Park, KS Mr. Nolte proceeded to provide an overview of the entire development and discussed its amenities. One of those amenities will be a storm sanctuary area located on the bottom level of the clubhouse. Some of the parking will be covered and some of the apartments will have an enclosed garage. Recycling will be offered as well. There will be landscaping on both sides of the street and the homes will be facing towards the west. Mr. Nolte stated that the developer did meet with the surrounding neighborhoods. Comments were reviewed and modifications to the plan were made. Commissioner Ashley Hose questioned who could use the storm shelter. Mr. Nolte stated that it would be available for all apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes. Commissioner Banks questioned if the Fire Dept. had reviewed the plans. Mr. Nolte stated that they had, and that the fire dept. can access off MO 7, and from the parking lots, and from Mason School Road. Commissioner Casey questioned the phasing of the development. Mr. Nolte stated the first phase is the apartments, the second phase is the townhomes and the third phase is the single-family homes, and the single-family homes will be for-sale, no rentals. Commissioner Fairbanks asked if it was conceivable to construct the single-family homes first. Mr. Nolte stated that there is a possibility, they will need to submit the Final Plan after approval of this concept plan. Mr. Nolte stated that this is the 9th plan that they have worked on. Mr. Nolte stated that in the Planning Commission packet is the Earhart Estates Design Standards. It discusses colors, landscaping, signs etc. Mr. Nolte stated that they have other design standards in Oklahoma City, Topeka, Overland Park, and Lenexa. They are modified to fit the development. Commissioner Billups asked Mr. Nolte why they chose one and two bedroom apartments and not three bedrooms. Mr. Nolte stated that the developer did a P.C. Minutes – 02.24.2020 Page 4 of 13 kf market study and the market they are going for is not a three-bedroom market. The townhomes will allow for three bedrooms plus a garage. Dan McGhee, Lamp Rynearson 9001 State Line Road, Ste. 200 Kansas City, MO Commissioner Fairbanks asked the applicant if they were going to enhance the creek running through the property. Mr. McGhee stated that the drainage that bisects the property is an APW stream buffer, so the intent is to leave it natural and as is. Mr. McGhee stated that they are enhancing the storm water basin so that it will be enlarged so that it can provide the appropriate stormwater for the development. Mr. McGhee stated that the apartment complex would have to create Covenant and Restrictions and maintain the buffer stream to APW specs. Mr. McGhee stated that the buffer shown on the plans is actually 200 ft. wide, there is a couple hundred acres that is running through the stream. The developer would control the outfalls from their proposed project to make sure that water is going through properly not only for the detention but also from the BMP’s or water quality through MARC criteria. That would help collect anything that is coming from this particular site. Mr. McGhee stated that they can’t control what is coming from upstream. They want to make sure that the infrastructure isn’t getting clogged on Brookside Drive for instance, there are culverts there so that would be a spot to coordinate maintenance and work with the city. Mr. McGhee stated that the stream buffer would not require fencing and it’s not in the FEMA flood plain. Travis Kramer, Kramer Real Estate Group, LLC 3909 West 124th Street Shawnee, KS Mr. Kramer stated that regarding the phases, all the utilities and the underground development would be conducted first, and it would all be 3 concurrent phases so they would all go on at one time. The single-family lots would either be built to suit, built to spec, or they will sell lots. The single-family homes might not be built immediately but they will be ready to sell. Mr. Kramer stated that he has had multiple conversations with CBRE who conducted the feasibility study as well as Gray Starr who they have engaged but hasn’t signed any contracts with to manage the apartments. Mr. Kramer stated that he believed Gray Starr has 5 or 6 properties in the Kansas City area they are managing, and they are all A+, high quality properties. Ms. Maloney stated that based on their feasibility study the rent for a one- bedroom will exceed $1,000 per month, plus utilities, and will include covered parking options, the target income ranges $38,000-$45,000, that is based on the City’s own housing study and their private feasibility study through CBRE that was last updated in October 2019. Ms. Maloney stated that the developer does accept all of staff’s conditions. Ms. Maloney stated that since the approval of the Comprehensive Plan in 2015 there has many changes to the original 2004 Chapman Farms PUD. Ms. Maloney stated that the City decided to change the recommended land use of P.C. Minutes – 02.24.2020 Page 5 of 13 kf the exact property, from Commercial to High-Density Residential. The applicant is asking for Med-Density, the property is identified on the Comprehensive Plan for this area as High-Density Residential and Mixed Density Neighborhood which means plus 12 units per acre for high-density and 5-12 units per acre for the mixed neighborhood. Ms. Maloney stated that the Comprehensive Plans usually calls for an increase in multi-family with the City to 30% within the City and a decrease of Commercial along 7 Hwy. given the vacancies. The commercial was over developed with the anticipation of all the homes that were going to be built under the Chapman Farms plan. She stated that now we are faced with low-density residential that can’t support the commercial, this will free the adjacent commercial that is already existing and support what’s going on up the street. Ms. Maloney stated that there seems to be concern with the potential overcrowding of Mason Elementary School that will serve this area. The applicant has been in contact with the school district and they are aware of the proposed project. Ms. Maloney mentioned the, “No Tax Increased Bond” issue on the April ballot. That plan has plans for renovation and expansion of Mason Elementary School. Ms. Maloney stated that they have also talked with Prairie Township Fire Protection, Chief Large and he has assured the developer that they can handle any increase in the interim with their partner agencies. Ms. Maloney stated that they met with Chief Bob Muenz, Blue Springs and he as well stated that they will service that area. She went on to say that you have to get the people there in order to generate the revenue before you can put permanent fixes in place. Ms. Maloney stated that property across the street that is currently owned by the Blue Springs Land Bank is off the tax rolls and has been for some time, working with CBRE and their market feasibility study the proposed project will add an excess of a million dollars to the taxing jurisdictions which mean more money for the school district, fire district, and the City. It will be listed at a 32% tax ratio because it will be classified under commercial because it is multifamily, and it will be controlled by a developer. Commissioner Ashley Hose made it be known that she used to work with CBRE and left there in November 2019 but has no other connections with them to date. WITNESSES IN FAVOR None. WITNESSES OPPOSED Thomas Hintenach, Resident 1105 SW Conch Way Lee’s Summit, MO Jessica Agnelly-Karwczyk, Resident 9223 SW 12th Street Lee’s Summit, MO Melissa Black, Resident 9308 SW Orca Court Blue Springs, MO P.C. Minutes – 02.24.2020 Page 6 of 13 kf Zach Goff, Osward Roam Law, LLC Representing DAK Reality Devco, LLC 601 NW Jefferson Street Blue Springs, MO Christine Opatrny-Yazell, Resident 805 SW Green Meadow Drive Blue Springs, MO Kevin Enyart, DAK Reality Devco, LLC 521 NE Station Drive Lee’s Summit, MO John Easely, Resident 9304 SW Orca Court Blue Springs, MO John Straight, Resident 26101 Mason School Road Blue Springs, MO Brian Shaw, Resident 617 SW Muriel Drive Grain Valley, MO Topics of Concern: • Property values • Bond Issue may or may not pass • Services will not be provided • Estate Lots vs apartments and the adverse effect • Traffic • Investment in community • Protect citizens that are already here • Change the character of the neighborhood • Overcrowding of the school • Concerned with the high density that is already in the Chapman Farms area • Other areas along 7 Hwy. that can house multi-family homes • Expectations and promises when residents purchased their homes • Capacity of School District • Would not have purchased homes if they knew apartments would be proposed in that location • DAK Reality Devco, LLC has made offers for the subject property and have been declined. • Doesn’t feel that Earhart met the Zoning Criteria • Parking and Lighting views Mr. Mallon stated that there is a substantial difference between the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan designation for the property and the S1 Area Plan designation for the property and the existing PUD Concept Plan. The existing PUD Concept Plan has been in place since 2004 and it does show the property P.C. Minutes – 02.24.2020 Page 7 of 13 kf as single-family villas, that plan has never been developed. The Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2014 and put into effect on 2015 and does call for high- density residential and mixed density residential. Mr. Mallon read the definition for High Density Residential, “High Density Residential is residential areas of predominantly multi-unit buildings or sites apartments and supporting institution uses primarily located in corridors or the transition areas between neighborhoods and centers or corridors, net density for these areas is typically more than 12 units an acre. The balance of the site is mixed density neighborhood which is 5 to 12 dwelling units per acre with a range of housing formats. Mr. Mallon stated that staff doesn’t consider the homes to be row- houses, the definition and lot parameters for row house contemplate fee-simple lot ownership with each individual unit being on its own lot. These are proposed to be multiple buildings on one lot which meets the definition of the apartment complex. Commissioner Casey questioned the 30% multi-family goal number for the City. Mr. Mallon stated that the city is currently at 28% and that does include duplexes. That is based on the existing housing and not what an area is zoned to allow for future single-family homes. The 28% does include the recent developments. Commissioner Casey asked the applicant if other sites along 7 Highway were considered. Ms. Maloney stated that the parcel was for sale and the Land Bank owns it. They choose this site because it is recommended by the Comprehensive Plan to be high-density residential, that is located right along 7 Highway that it’s not appropriate to put single-family right along 7 Highway, and commercial development is not feasible there. Ms. Maloney stated that there is no single- family development that can occur within the conservation / drainage area. Commissioner Ken Billups stated that he sat on the Planning Commission when the original Chapman Farms plans came in and how much time and effort was spent on the plan to make sure that there was a broad mix of development types. Commissioner Billups stated that he respectively disagrees with staff on the statement of the abundance of commercial space along 7 Highway. The multi- family housing was taken away in one area and was given commercial zoning. That was the area for the multi-housing. He stated that this side of 7 Highway was meant to be the high end of Chapman Farms, of the entire Chapman Farms development and he would like to keep it that way. Commissioner Banks stated that she felt that a promised made should be a promise kept. Commissioner Banks stated that if the apartments go in first who would want to buy a townhome or villas backed up to all the apartment complexes. Commissioner Banks stated that she would prefer to leave the development commercial. Commissioner Banks stated that we are trying to do Economic Obsolescencse, which is, bring something in that’s not a part of your property but, it’s adjourning your property that is going to affect your property. Commissioner Chad Sanderson stated that he’s concerned with the services to be provided to the development. Commissioner Sanderson stated that he felt the City needs more rentals, but it should be closer to the core of the city. He stated that there is a lot of vacant commercial at the core of City, the rentals may help out with that. P.C.
