Director of Planning, Zoning, and Economic Development Melanie Rippetoe stated that they have recognized that bookstores and video stores were only allowed by a Special Use Permit, which involves some first amendment rights, freedom of speech concerns, so this would allow these as permitted uses.

The following notice of the public hearing was then read: “The City of Manchester Board of Aldermen shall hold a public hearing on Monday, July 15, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at the Manchester Police Facility, 200 Highlands Boulevard Drive, to consider the following: #19-TXT-005 – City Staff proposes a Zoning Text Amendment to sections of Article II Definitions and Article V District Regulations of Chapter 405 of the Zoning Regulations of the City of Manchester. The proposed changes will define and clarify zoning pertaining to sexually oriented businesses in Section 405.240 “C-1” Commercial Zoning District, Section 405.250 “C-2” Commercial Zoning District, Section 405.260 “PCD” Planned Commercial District and Section 405.285 “PBD” Planned Business Development District.” Mayor Clement advised that first the proponents would speak, then the opponents, and comments from the public, followed by questions from the members of the Board of Aldermen or the City staff. Director of Planning, Zoning, and Economic Development Melanie Rippetoe stated the Zoning Regulations in the City of Manchester currently do not address sexually oriented businesses in any way. Given that they have First Amendment rights, Manchester thought it was important to limit where they were allowed and space requirements. This section Public Hearing-7-15-2019-Zoning Text Amendment defining and clarifying zoning Page 1 includes definitions for various different sexually-oriented businesses, and where they can and cannot be located. There were no opponents, no questions or comments from the public or the Board of Aldermen. Alderman Hamill stated the Planning and Zoning Commission gave this a favorable recommendation. Mayor Clement closed the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Ruth E.

A quorum was present. The following notice of the public hearing was then read: “The City of Manchester Board of Aldermen shall hold a public hearing on Monday, July 15, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at the Manchester Police Facility, 200 Highlands Boulevard Drive, to consider the following: CASE #19-TXT-007 – City Staff proposes a Zoning Text Amendment to sections of Article IV General Provisions of Chapter 405 of the Zoning Regulations of the City of Manchester. The proposed changes are intended to supplement the existing regulations pertaining to Section 405.150 Uses Not Permitted Are Prohibited.” Mayor Clement advised that first the proponents would speak, then the opponents, and comments from the public, followed by questions from the members of the Board of Aldermen or the City staff. Director of Planning, Zoning, and Economic Development Melanie Rippetoe stated Sections in the Code that uses are not permitted are prohibited for more normal situations where it isn’t an issue because we possibly have not thought of everything that could or could not be wanted as a use and it should have to go through the text amendment process; however there are some uses that are permitted by right by State Statutes. This is just to supplement that to put in some regulations for those things that the City has not considered Public Hearing-7-15-2019-Zoning Text Amendment re. zoning regulations Page 1 but might be prohibited by right. It only allows them to be permitted only to the extent of the Law and only as a planned use and give it locations as to where these can go in. There were no opponents, no questions or comments from the public or the Board of Aldermen. Alderman Hamill stated the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended this as a favorable recommendation. Mayor Clement closed the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Ruth E.

Public Hearing-7-15-2019-Zoning Text Amendment re. zoning regulations Page 2 MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING HELD ON MONDAY, JULY 15, 2019 AT 200 HIGHLANDS BOULEVARD DRIVE REGARDING A PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT ADDING CHAPTER 606 TO THE BUSINESS AND OCCUPAT ION SECTION OF THE CODE Mayor Mike Clement called the Public Hearing of the Board of Aldermen to order at 7:07 p.m. Roll call showed those present were Alderman Huether, Alderman Nolte, Alderman Hamill, Alderman Ottenad, Alderman Baumann, Alderman Toben, and Mayor Clement. A quorum was present. The following notice of the public hearing was then read: “The City of Manchester Board of Aldermen shall hold a public hearing on Monday, July 15, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at the Manchester Police Facility, 200 Highlands Boulevard Drive, to consider the following: CASE #19-TXT-008 – City Staff proposes a Text Amendment to add Chapter 606 to the Business and Occupation Section of the Municipal Code of the City of Manchester. The proposed changes include licensing requirements for Sexually Oriented Businesses.” Mayor Clement advised that first the proponents would speak, then the opponents, and comments from the public, followed by questions from the members of the Board of Aldermen or the City staff. Director of Planning, Zoning, and Economic Development Melanie Rippetoe stated that in addition to allowing sexually-oriented businesses in specific areas, this supplements the zoning regulations which allows them as uses and it further requires special licensing in which it goes into details about sizing requirements. She advised that all of this is consistent with St. Louis County’s regulations and how they handle sexually-oriented businesses. There have been some additions because their language has not been updated in a while. Public Hearing-7-15-2019-Zoning Text Amendment adding Chapter 606 to Code Page 1 Ms. Rosemary Wessely, 305 Glyn Cagny Road, asked what the definitions are for sexually-oriented businesses. Director Rippetoe answered that there are pages of definitions as to what defines a sexually-oriented business. She said she would be happy to give Ms. Wessely the list later. Ms. Diane Iezzi, 437 Royal Village Drive, said that it doesn’t sound to her that the additions that they are putting in the Code are going to limit those kinds of sexually-oriented shops that we have. She said that Manchester Road is becoming very sleezy and she is very upset. She said that Dr. John’s is not something that she wants in her neighborhood. It is at the end of a subdivision, and she is sure that the people that live there are upset. She said she is also upset with all the spas that Manchester has. She does believe the City needs to go in and make sure they are all legitimate. She doesn’t like the way Manchester Road looks. She was on Olive Blvd. yesterday and they have legitimate businesses, ones that are recognizable. She said if we don’t stop it, our real estate prices will fall because of what it will do when you try to sell your home. She said the City of Manchester needs to fix this and it is important. Bob Iezzi, 437 Royal Village Drive, asked if anyone has been in Dr. John’s. He asked what is in there. Mayor Clement stated this is for comments from the public, not questions of the City officials. Alderman Hamill stated the Planning and Zoning Commission gave this a favorable recommendation. Mayor Clement closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Ruth E. Baker, MMC/MPCC City Clerk Note: This is a journal of the Public Hearing held Monday, July 15, 2019 regarding a proposed Zoning Text Amendment adding Chapter 606 to the Business and Occupation Section of the Code (summary); not a verbatim transcript.

Public Hearing-7-15-2019-Zoning Text Amendment adding Chapter 606 to Code Page 2 MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING HELD ON MON DAY, JULY 15, 2019 AT 200 HIGHLANDS BOULEVARD DRIVE REGARDING A PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT DEFINING GROU P HOME, CARE HOME AND CAR E HOME COMPLEX Mayor Mike Clement called the Public Hearing of the Board of Aldermen to order at 7:13 p.m. Roll call showed those present were Alderman Huether, Alderman Nolte, Alderman Hamill, Alderman Ottenad, Alderman Baumann, Alderman Toben, and Mayor Clement. A quorum was present. The following notice of the public hearing was then read: “The City of Manchester Board of Aldermen shall hold a public hearing on Monday, July 15, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at the Manchester Police Facility, 200 Highlands Boulevard Drive, to consider the following: CASE #19-TXT-009 – City Staff proposes a Zoning Text Amendment to sections of Article II Definitions and Article V District Regulations of the Zoning Regulations of the City of Manchester in order to define and allow Group Home, Care Home, and Care Home Complex and clarify existing regulations.” Mayor Clement advised that first the proponents would speak, then the opponents, and comments from the public, followed by questions from the members of the Board of Aldermen or the City Staff. Director of Planning, Zoning, and Economic Development Melanie Rippetoe stated City Staff proposes the zoning text amendment to Article II and Article V District Regulations. It will move the definition of group home out of the definition of family because it shouldn’t be there, and moves it into its own separate definition. It also allows it as a permitted use in our R-1 zoning regulations. This has no change on the affect of where it is as it makes everything less complicated. Public Hearing-7-15-2019-Zoning Text Amendment defining Group Home, Care Home Page 1 Director Rippetoe stated that in addition, Manchester has added a definition for care home and care home complex. A care home is similar to a group home. A group home allows for no more than eight unrelated mentally or physically-handicapped persons residing in a single-family home. It is similar to a family style of living in which you have residents and there is one kitchen and shared living spaces. The care home allows for up to 15 people. The care home complex allows for up to three of these same buildings to be on the same lot, but only be allowed in a planned residential district so it will be a part of a planned residential development. It also changed the spacing requirements from 3,000 feet to 1,000 feet which is based on the DOJ and HUD’s position on spacing requirements for group homes for residents with disabilities which generally violates the FHA so they reduced the space requirements. Director Rippetoe stated this allows for a care home as a special use in residential zoning districts and allows for the care home complex in a planned residential district. Alderman Ottenad stated that she noticed that the group homes had to be 1,000 feet away from other group homes or from a care home. She wondered if there was any requirement between the two care homes. Director Rippetoe answered that she believes it is the same, with 1,000 feet between them. Mayor Clement stated the Planning and Zoning Commission gave this a favorable recommendation. Mayor Clement closed the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Ruth E. Baker, MMC/MPCC City Clerk Note: This is a journal of the Public Hearing held Monday, July 15, 2019 regarding a proposed Zoning Text Amendment defining Group Home, Care Home and Care Home Complex (summary); not a verbatim transcript. If a recording of the public hearing is desired, please contact City Hall. Public Hearing-7-15-2019-Zoning Text Amendment defining Group Home, Care Home Page 2 MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING S HELD ON MONDAY, JULY 15, 2019 AT 200 HIGHLANDS BOULEVARD DRIVE REGARDING A REZONING RE QUEST FOR PROPERTY AT 351 – 377 FOREST SUMMIT COURT , AND A REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A CARE HOME COMPLEX AT 351-377 FOREST SUMMIT COURT, AND A REQUEST FOR A PPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO CONSTRUCT A CA RE HOME COMPLEX Mayor Mike Clement called the Public Hearings of the Board of Aldermen to order at 7:18 p.m. Roll call showed those present were Alderman Huether, Alderman Nolte, Alderman Hamill, Alderman Ottenad, Alderman Baumann, Alderman Toben, and Mayor Clement. A quorum was present. Mayor Clement stated that they will be handling the three different public hearings at one time. He said the first one is for a rezoning request, the second one is a request for a Special Use Permit, and the third one is a request for approval for a preliminary site development plan. The proponent is the same for all three public hearings. The following notice of the public hearings was then read: “The City of Manchester Board of Aldermen shall hold public hearings on Monday, July 15, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at the Manchester Police Facility, 200 Highlands Boulevard Drive, to consider the following: CASE #19-REZ-001 – Barth Holohan, owner under contract, has applied for approval of a Rezoning of 351-377 Forest Summit Court in order to construct a Care Home Complex, consisting of three single-family style homes. The lots located at 351-365 Forest Summit Court were previously zoned C-1 Commercial and lots 369-377 Forest Summit Court were zoned R-1 Residential, and CASE #19-SUP-002 – Barth Holohan, owner under contract, has applied for approval of a Special Use Three Public Hearings-7-15-2019- property at 351-377 Forest Summit Court Page 1 Permit for a Care Home Complex, consisting of three single-family style homes to be located at 351-377 Forest Summit Court, in a proposed Planned Residential Development Zoning District, and CASE #19-SP-013 – Barth Holohan, owner under contract, has applied for approval of a Preliminary Site Development Plan in order to construct a Care Home Complex, consisting of three single-family style homes to be located at 351-377 Forest Summit Court, in a proposed Planned Residential Development Zoning District.” Mayor Clement advised that first the proponents would speak, then the opponents, and comments from the public, followed by questions from the members of the Board of Aldermen or the City staff. Director of Planning, Zoning, and Economic Development Melanie Rippetoe said she had suggested that these three public hearings be wrapped into one since they are all connected. Mr. Barth Holohan, stated the property is right behind Vetta Sports on the hill there, and that property has been vacant for many years. He said he started a home care company 17 years ago to serve people in their individual homes because less than 15 percent of the population ever end up living in a retirement community. That involves independent, assisted and skilled nursing. He said the majority of us will live our remaining years in our homes or a home-like setting. He said he found that, for the individuals they were serving, when they became a little forgetful, they could benefit from the socialization component of life. In 2008, they started a Family Partners Adult Day Center at Manchester and 270. Mr. Holohan stated they found that as families started having loved ones increase in age or increase in the disease process of dementia, families would ask if there is something like the Family Partners Day Center that is 24-hour care, 7 days a week. In 2017, they opened up the first home at 232 Creve Coeur Avenue. It is a regular neighborhood and there are eight people who live there, and it is a homelike environment. They found that for individuals who are forgetful, there is nothing against these wonderful, bigger retirement communities, but in many cases if you are forgetful, you tend to gravitate to your room. He said in the environment he is speaking about, everything is beautiful but served family style. They are aware if everyone is eating. Mr. Holohan stated everyone eats dinner together, the rooms are intentionally small, so people are in a homelike setting, and there is a kitchen, living room, and a dining room. They are in a homelike setting so people can get the care they need. They have two staff 24/7 for the eight people who live there. Mr. Holohan said they are looking for another solution for individuals in the area who want to stay independent. The lot is currently vacant. There will be 12 people who live in each home. They will be starting from scratch. Three Public Hearings-7-15-2019- property at 351-377 Forest Summit Court Page 2 Mr. Holohan stated a lot of people want to know what kind of residences these will be. He said these types of homes do not decrease the value of the neighborhood. There is no devaluing of neighboring property. They try to keep property beautiful, landscaped well. None of the residents drive, there are no children going into the school system. They will not be having an excess of garbage. Mr. Holohan stated there will be two staff 24/7, plus a licensed nurse and a licensed director. The State of Missouri also overseas these types of homes. He said they worked with the Fire Marshal on the first home they did. There are a lot of checks and balances of who can be taken into the home and who cannot be taken into the home. The goal is to keep people in a homelike setting, so they don’t have to go to a big retirement center. Mr. Holohan stated as far as rezoning, currently the biggest part of the property is zoned C-1; the front part is residential. They are asking for it all to be zoned residential, all the property should be residential; none of the development is to be commercial. Mr. Holohan stated the development is to start late summer or early fall. Their goal is to do one home at a time, with the first home to be done in the summer. He said the goal is to build the second one right after the first. Mr. Holohan stated they have received feedback from Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), so the drawing he provided shows the changes received from MSD. Originally, the front lot was to drain where it is currently, but the back lot was going to drain in the northwest corner. They have changed the bio-retention basin due to feedback from MSD. Mr. Holohan stated there are seven neighbors that he has written letters to and gone door-to-door asking if there are questions. He has met with two neighbors on the Manchester Municipality side and has met with three trustees on the unincorporated St. Louis County side. Mayor Clement stated that he has spoken to the residents and they feel comfortable with the discussions. Mr. Holohan stated that he lives in St. Louis and they do not have a big corporation that has people coming in from out of town. He believes the neighbors were used to what happened previously where people started digging without letting people know what is going on. Their goal is to let people know what they’re doing and when they’re doing it. They want to be good neighbors. They are quiet neighbors. They think it is nice to know there is a place where people can age in a place that is in a homelike setting. Alderman Ottenad thanked Mr. Holohan for reaching out to the neighbors. She said going back many years, developers would come in and would not talk to the people. She said there were water problems in the past. Mr. Holohan responded that Ms. Sontago has honeysuckle problems. He said she has a retention area now. He does not believe her water issues are a problem anymore. He said that for most of the neighbors on the Manchester side, their concern was safety and they are glad that it will not be vacant anymore. Alderman Ottenad asked if there is a vision of blasting. Three Public Hearings-7-15-2019- property at 351-377 Forest Summit Court Page 3 Mr. Holohan said that none of the homes will have basements. They positioned the homes closer to the top of the hill so their ability to get rid of the rock is minimal. His desire is to not have people try to get a lot of rock out of the hill. Alderman Ottenad stated that she has a loved one going through dementia and Mr. Holohan’s place on Manchester was mentioned to them as a really good place to go. She said when she saw this request coming in, she thought this is good. Alderman Toben asked the approximate amount that an individual will have to pay on a monthly basis. Mr. Holohan said that if the service is re-created in a home, it could be $13,000 - $14,000 a month. Most dementia units in a nursing home are around $300 a day. He said his care is more at an assisted-living category. He said assisted-living for dementia is anywhere from $5,000 to $6,000 to $9,000 a month. His current home is $7,500 a month, in the middle range, and this newer home will probably be closer to the $8,400 a month range. Alderman Toben asked about insurance coverages. Mr. Holohan said long term care does help for assisted living, Unfortunately, Medicaid does not pay for assisted living. Mayor Clement stated the Planning and Zoning Commission gave all three of these favorable recommendations. Mayor Clement closed the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Ruth E. Baker, MMC/MPCC City Clerk Note: This is a journal of the Public Hearing held Monday, July 15, 2019 regarding a Rezoning Request, a Special Use Permit and a Request for approval of a Preliminary Site Development Plan for property at 351 – 377 Forest Summit Court (summary); not a verbatim transcript.
