CASE #19-TXT-006 – City Staff proposes a Zoning Text
Amendment to sections of Article II “Definitions”, Article III
“Establishment of Districts and District Maps”, Article IV “
General Provisions”, Article V “District Regulations”, and
Article XIII “Supplementary Regulations – Greenspace” of
Chapter 405 of the Zoning Regulations of the City of
Manchester. The proposed changes will define marijuana
uses in Section 405.060 and clarify zoning regulations
pertaining to medical marijuana 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 create a “PLMD” Planned Light

and comments from the public, followed by questions from the members of the Board of
Aldermen or the city staff.
Public Hearing 09-16-2019 –Amend Code clarifying zoning regulations – medical marijuana
Page 1
Speaking as the proponent, Director of Planning, Zoning, and Economic
Development Melanie Rippetoe stated that on November 6, 2018, the voters of the State of
Missouri approved Amendment 2 to the Missouri Constitution adding a new Article XIV,
Section 1 to the Missouri Constitution (the "Amendment"); such Section being titled, “Right
to Access Medical Marijuana” with the intent to enable certain specified persons and legal
entities to legally obtain, possess, cultivate, process, grow, use and distribute marijuana for
medicinal purposes to the extent allowed by applicable law. Article XIV, Section 1.7(11) of
the Missouri Constitution does allow local governments to “enact ordinances or regulations
not in conflict” with the Constitutional Amendment or with regulations enacted pursuant to
the Constitutional Amendment by the State of Missouri governing the time, place, and
manner of the operation of medical marijuana uses.
Director Rippetoe stated that the Zoning Regulations for the City of Manchester do
not currently address “medical marijuana” businesses. The city staff recommends the
addition of the attached language in order to define and restrict the location of medical
marijuana businesses, so as to minimize impact on surrounding properties and existing
uses. The proposed text amendments include defining said businesses and allowing them
in the C-1, C-2, and the newly created PLMD Zoning Districts, provided that they meet the
specific requirements/regulations listed.
Alderman Huether asked what regulations there are for odor control, and how those
compare with other cities. She asked if they are stringent enough.
Director Rippetoe responded that based on other cities, it would address the issue.
City Attorney Erin Seele made a comment about charcoal filters.
Alderman Huether asked about signage.
Director Rippetoe answered that the City cannot overregulate signage; however,
applicants will have to go to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review.
Alderman Huether asked what hours the dispensaries can be open. She said
pharmacies in Manchester are open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.,
Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
Director Rippetoe responded that there should not be an issue with making those
hours consistent with other pharmacies in the area.
There were no opponents and no comments from the public.
Mayor Clement closed the public hearing at 7:10 p.m.

5. CONSIDERATION OF PETITIONS AND COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
a. Update on progress at 14401 Manchester Road – Suntrup gas/convenience
store
Mr. Randy Green, contractor, stated that all the different utilities, including the
Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) and the Missouri Department of Transportation
(MoDOT) have been the biggest players with the delay on the project. He said they have
submitted their stuff several months back and they just received comments back for the
third time. MoDOT threw a wrench into them a couple weeks ago asking for a traffic signal
plan study that was never mentioned in the scope meeting. He stated once they get their
approvals from MSD and MoDOT, then they can take them to the City and then take to St.
Louis County to start the construction. They hope to get started in a couple weeks.
Mayor Clement stated that they have been working on this for years. Mr. Green has
known for a long time about the requirements, and he had indicated that there had been
some problems with the engineering firms. He said he wants the Board to know that while
Mr. Green is laying blame on others, he suggested they accept part of the blame for this
themselves.
Alderman Baumann asked about the demolition of the project. Most contractors
realize they must demolish all the way down to the earth. He is concerned about the choice
of contractors that are being hired. He is concerned about the roadway.
Mr. Green said he is the contractor, and the reason why it wasn’t taken down, the
reason for leaving the concrete slab in there, was to avoid a bunch of debris and mud
along with maintenance and erosion problems on Manchester Road. They thought to keep
a clean and safe jobsite they would cut out the slabs when ready to put the tanks in the
ground. They left the slab in to protect the site from being filled with mud and erosion. As
far as the roadwork is concerned, VJ Cement is probably one of the biggest flat work
contractors in this area and they are the ones hired to do the project for the road
improvements. He admitted that the project has drawn out for a long time, and that maybe
he should have fired his civil engineer months ago.
Mayor Clement stated that he wants Mr. Green to be honest with Manchester, with
him acknowledging that the problem is not with all others. The Mayor said he wants to
move forward with this understanding now that they are getting closer to the end point; that
is important. He did not want the residents to hear Mr. Green blame MoDOT, the
Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) and the City. He said there have been a variety of
reasons. He said MoDOT usually needs four to six weeks to review the plans.
Mr. Green said this is in its third round of comments and they have had it in review
for over three months.
Mayor Clement asked if MoDOT has all the plans they need.
Mr. Green answered that they don’t yet have the directional arrow plans, the
roadway plans. He said they will have them this week.
Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 09-16-2019 Page 2
Alderman Hamill asked about the construction timeframe.
Mr. Green said that the construction will probably take seven to eight months. They
will want to get this started before winter sets in.
Mayor Clement said he supports Mr. Green’s decision to leave the concrete there. It
makes sense to him.
Alderman Baumann commented that since Mr. Suntrup came the last time, the
property has been maintained better the last 45 days.
Mayor Clement stated that Mr. Green said three weeks to start; he would estimate
five to six weeks.
b. Projects Update – Director of Public Works Bob Ruck
Director of Public Works Bob Ruck stated that in regard to Prop S, at the beginning
of the construction season in the beginning of March, the City let a contract for $3 million
for concrete replacement. They currently have $750 thousand left to do on the project, and
that dollar amount includes the first 15-16 days of this month. The contract has a deadline
of November 15. We are well on target to meet that. In regard to the asphalt portion of it,
that work was just approved at the last board meeting. That project is about $300 thousand
for the improvements on Connie Lane and Country Stone Drive south of Big Bend and they
are in the process of setting up the preconstruction meeting for that.
Director Ruck stated the Lindy Bridge will be closing on September 23 for about a
month to a month and a half. They will be doing some structural repairs and removing and
replacing the bridge deck. While that repair is underway and the bridge is closed, the
barriers across Oklahoma Avenue will be removed to allow emergency services, the
school district, trash services and motorists necessary access.
Director Ruck stated that Channel J was just approved at the last board meeting,
and the contractor is getting documents submitted. He thinks it will be started within the
next month.
Director Ruck stated that in regard to Pontoison, the contractor has ordered the
concrete structures and they are currently being built. It is estimated to be about three
weeks until this project is done, weather permitting.
Director Ruck discussed the project of Dougherty Ferry Road from Country Stone
Drive to the Valley Park city limits to the south, which is called Forest Avenue in Valley
Park. He said there is a federal grant and the Missouri Department of Transportation
(MoDOT) has approved the right-of-way acquisition plans. There will be three easements
related to the project required. That project is slated for construction next year, and it will
be a considerable rebuild. There is a misalignment in there.
Director Ruck mentioned that the grated trough project is on the agenda tonight to
replace three grated trough structures in various locations in the City.
Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 09-16-2019 Page 3
Director Ruck indicated that the Brookvale Terrace relief project is on tonight’s
agenda. It started out about three years ago as part of the Chadwick drainage study and
there are four portions to it. The original design was not what he considered to be the
appropriate way to proceed. It would have called for a larger pipe in the street that he
thought was needed. The project was revamped and went out to bid. He mentioned that
the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) will reimburse the City for $700,000, so the project
actually came up less than the amount expected.
Director Ruck stated that in regard to the Howard George Drive bridge project, it
was bid earlier this summer, but the bids were high. The City conferred with MoDOT, and it
was determined that there was a lack of contractors needing work at that time. The bridge
project is going to be rebid in the spring; that project will be done in 2020 and will require
the bridge to be closed for a couple months.
Director Ruck gave an update on the Manchester Road pedestrian improvement
project which was worked on earlier this year. The City, along with Horner and Shifrin, put
together a good plan to support a request for funding for that project. East-West Gateway
staff reviewed it and lowered the City’s points which took Manchester out to where the City
would not qualify. The City asked for a meeting with them and, in doing so, we were able to
express our displeasure. A supporter on the East-West Gateway Board met with the City;
they admitted some flaws in their point system and found another source for funding that is
going to be pursued to get the project back on track.
Mayor Clement stated that this has been a huge amount of work. He wanted to
thank Director Ruck for all the work done.
Alderman Nolte said he had communicated with him on the Pontoison project, about
finding out if the library is putting more water down the hill than they had previously since
they did the big expansion and made some big changes. He said there had been one big
flood in the past 16 years, and now there have been six in one year. He understands they
were big rainfall events, but not this kind of result. He wanted to know if something new
has happened.
Director Ruck stated that they looked at the library project early on because of
concern, and the entire addition that was placed on the front of the building drains to the
west, there was nothing new from that construction to the east and down to the valley
below. He said it is the lay of the land.
Alderman Nolte asked if there has been that much more rain.
Director Ruck answered that there has been that much more rain. He has provided
the local weather station “underground”. It will give the weather data instantly for the area.
The last rainfall for a period of 40 minutes was recorded at 2 2/3 inches of rain an hour;
MSD storm sewers in a prime situation can handle 1 ½ inches of rain an hour. Next year,
there will be an increase in the number of grated troughs.
Alderman Nolte stated he has a lot of communication from residents on that street
that are concerned that all of a sudden it has gotten a lot worse. He wants to be able to go
back to them and honestly say we have looked at it and it is not something different with
the library.
Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 09-16-2019 Page 4
Director Ruck stated they are going to go up there and meet with the library and
make sure they have taken the necessary steps. They installed some black pipe as a
detention type system.
Alderman Nolte stated that one of the streets has been terrible.
Director Ruck stated he thinks he will notice a change, but an act of God is an act of
God, no matter what the City of Manchester does. He commented that based on today’s
ongoing building construction, things are still going to happen. Hopefully doing these things
will work to minimize it.
Mayor Clement said that with the size of this huge workload, as far as projects go,
he and his staff have spent many hours in the backyards of residents with first-time
problems to recurring problems. He would estimate four, six or eight hours a week, for 16
weeks spent on trying to answer questions of residents and homeowner’s associations that
are experiencing the flooding. They seek answers and in many cases the City cannot
provide funding to fix the problems, although the City can help them see solutions.
Director Ruck stated he commends the Board that they have stepped up and
realized it is the “Parks and Stormwater tax”. He said a lot of cities emphasize parks and do
not spend the money on stormwater. He spoke with a resident who was told MSD said they
could help in 25 years.
Alderman Baumann stated that when he attended the Missouri Municipal League
Conference, there was a lady with the Missouri Prairie Foundation who suggested planting
prairie plants because they can take up about seven inches of rainwater.
Director Ruck answered he is not sure that would work since it is a wooded area, it
is not an open area. He said with the brochure Alderman Baumann has, it does suggest
rain gardens, etc. which may be the thing of the future.
Alderman Baumann suggested that the street work could be slowed down around
Halloween to avoid possible problems with “trick or treating”.
Director Ruck responded that the City can’t put constraints on the contractor, but the
City will try to be cognizant of that.
c. Comments from the Public
Mr. Bruce Burkhart, 1083 Big Bend Station Drive, said the mission and vision of the
Department of Conservation is to protect and manage the fish, forest and wildlife of the
State and facilitate to provide opportunity for all citizens to use, enjoy and learn about
these resources. Wildlife enriches our lives in many ways, but sometimes it can cause
property damage or become a nuisance. Fortunately, the majority of these conflicts can be
resolved. The first priority is healthy preservation of the herd to limit disease. Flowers and
vegetation, according to Erin Shank and Andrea Barnes at Powder Valley, that is their
mantra. There is information from MCD, Greenscape Nursery, “Spook the Deer” March-
April 2019 to control what is going on in your yard. Another book is available at the
Missouri Botanical Gardens. So far, he has not seen the City of Manchester distribute
anything like this which is the first response to a conflict of interest by peaceful means. He
has not seen that. He has not seen anything from the City of Manchester, stating that when
Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 09-16-2019 Page 5
driving, what the appropriate reaction is to react to a deer. He feels that Manchester has
not sent out anything pertaining to a peaceful means for a conflict of interest regarding the
deer.
Ms. Betty Caldwell, 3458 Charleston Place Court, said she prefers there are no
bowhunters in the area where she lives. She is in favor of making sure the deer population
is correct for humans and deer, but her backyard is by common ground and she sees deer.
She said her request is that the Board know the areas where there should not be hunters.
She said her neighborhood put up a notice whether the residents want the hunting there,
and it is to be voted on. Some neighbors don’t even have a backyard. In areas like this, she
suggested the City make sure there are no bow hunters allowed. She understands there
should be insurance to cover the hunters, but she hopes there are no mistakes.
6. REPORTS FROM THE MAYOR
a. Proclamation – POW-MIA Recognition Day
Mayor Clement stated that the City was awarded the POW-MIA designation in May.
When the City was awarded this designation, the City committed to recognizing the POW-
MIA status on their special recognition day, which is Friday, September 20.
Mayor Clement invited everyone to attend the ceremony at the Veterans memorial
at 10:00 a.m. It focuses on the flight of the POW-MIA and Manchester’s commitment to the
Veterans and the POW-MIA.
b. Proclamation honoring Municipal Judge Michael Gunn upon his retirement
from the Bench for his many years of service to the City
Mayor Clement presented a Proclamation honoring Municipal Judge Michael Gunn
for his retirement for his many years of service to the City of Manchester.
c. Proclamation honoring Karen Yeomans, P. E., Area Engineer, MoDOT
Southwest St. Louis County Area upon her retirement for service to the area.
Mayor Clement presented Karen Yeomans a Proclamation for her retirement from
the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southwest St Louis County Area.
d. Mayoral Report
Mayor Clement expressed his thanks for all who helped with Homecoming, certainly
the Parks Department, Public Works, and everyone who worked and put this all together. It
was a big community effort and the weather was beautiful except for Sunday morning
before the event opened for the day.
Mayor Clement stated that six or eight weeks ago, he had acknowledged that
Manchester is working with four other communities to get the West Newsmagazine to
provide a two-page spread for the activities for the senior adults. He is happy to say that
after Manchester took the lead, everyone followed. They have seen the first draft, and in
the last issue in September will be all the activities for October. Senior adults will be able
Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 09-16-2019 Page 6
to look at these and see what the programming is, where it is and what the cost is. He said
“thank you” to Stephanie Hardesty for the hard work she has done.
Mayor Clement stated several weeks ago he had asked if there would be any
volunteers on October 16 for community service. He said they have filled that team, gone
above what we wanted to reach. It will be from 5:30 – 7:45 p.m. when about 35 volunteers
representing the City of Manchester will be packing food at Good Shepard Church.
Mayor Clement gave an update on the Board of Freeholders. He said the Municipal
League of Metro St. Louis has submitted the necessary number of signatures to launch the
formation of the Board of Freeholders, an alternative to “Better Together”. The advantage
is the fact that the Board of Freeholders is open and public, and only people in the County
and City will be able to vote on issues.
Mayor Clement wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming recycling event on
Saturday. He said the City had applied for a grant with St. Louis County for free recycling of
televisions and computer monitors. Councilman Tim Fitch managed to have the County
Executive sign the approval. Participants will be able to turn in two TV’s without cost.
Mayor Clement recognized the upcoming Arts Fest which will be held on September
28 at the Parks Department.
Mayor Clement emphasized that the POW-MIA ceremony will be on Friday,
including the Missing Man Table, at the Veterans Memorial. Tucker’s will also have a table
on that day as well.
