e. Comments from the Public
Mr. Mike Fuhro, 745 Oklahoma Avenue, said he has been an outspoken critic of the
Bend at Sulphur Spring for nearly two years. He said that right now, he wanted to comment
on storm water runoff.
He said his opinion is that the storm water runoff problems being experienced by
multiple adjacent property owners are directly due to inactions on the part of the city
officials.
The City approved the original plans to deforest the land, thereby creating the
potential for massive storm water runoff after a rain event.
Then the City approved grading of the land that directs water runoff to the north
and south toward adjoining properties.
The City also failed to require storm water sewers or swales on the south end of
the development to protect adjacent properties.
Mr. Fuhro said city officials have told him they rely solely on Metropolitan Sewer
District (MSD) and St. Louis County to review and approve subdivision plans. He said he
rejects this assertion, because it’s basic common sense for the City to act as a firewall to
protect residents.
If the City doesn’t have the right expertise on staff, they could easily hire an expert
on an as-needed basis to review subdivision plans. Not only that, but he said it took him
about ten minutes to review the final reviewed plans and spot potential problems, and he
has no formal civil engineering or hydrology training.
City Officials have recently met with some of the adjacent property owners
experiencing property damage from storm water runoff originating in the new subdivision.
He said it’s his understanding that the proposed fixes being offered are deemed
inadequate by some, if not all, of the property owners. And, sadly, here is why none of that
really matters. Once a lot is sold, and a house is built, and the new owners close, the
property is theirs. They can do whatever they want to their land. They can re-grade the
Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 10-21-2019 Page 3
land so water drains toward neighbors. They can dig up underground drains, take out
trees, and so on. There’s absolutely nothing the city or the developer can do about it.
The City needs to immediately design, develop, and implement permanent solutions
that protect property owners from storm water runoff damage. This work needs to be
completed before the developer sells the remaining lots and the City no longer has any
leverage over him. The City needs to force the developer to compensate adjacent property
owners for the damage done to their properties. The City also needs to force the developer
to put permanent solutions in place. He suggested shutting down the site until the
developer complies.
Mr. Fuhro said it took years, but the City of Kirkwood has finally taken steps to
implement storm water protections for residents. The City of Manchester needs to act now,
before any more damage is done.
Dr. Dianna Keller, 740 Oklahoma Avenue, stated that her property is adjacent to the
Bend at Sulphur Spring Development. She said her family has owned the property since
1954, and never has her family endured any water issues until the approval of the Bend of
Sulphur Spring by the City of Manchester. The natural flow of the water and the land was
from North to West. Since the development has started it has changed drastically,
elevating homes and properties three to six feet higher causing the water to flow south
directly on her property, with rainwater being diverted from the elevated home sites to their
gutters to her property and flooding the side, front and back yard.
Dr. Keller stated the ground under her fence on the North and East sides has
eroded away, leaving behind five and six-inch gaps. This has compromised the security of
her dog and allows water to collect throughout her yard. Her parents did not buy swamp
land. She has been advised the massive water issues will compromise her five twenty-
year-old pine trees as they will succumb to the water standing around the root system.
Dr. Keller stated the newly erected fence, less than a year old, is pulling apart due to
water around the post and the erosion of the dirt. She will forward statements from the
manufacturing company, the installation company, and a civil engineer when she gets
them.
Dr. Keller stated that at a meeting in front of 760 Alexander Mark Way which was
attended by Mr. Toben, Mr. Baumann, the Aldermen in her area, Melanie Rippetoe, Mayor
Mike Clement, Developer Sean Flower, her Attorney, Mr. Dale, and herself, agreements
were made that Mr. Flower would put swells along the North and East side of her property
to keep the water on the development side. The ground was to be replaced under the
fence to a 1.5-inch depth beneath the fence rail to stabilize fence posts and increase
security of her dog. To date, none of this agreement has been completed. She said the
items that were agreed upon by all parties need to be completed to her satisfaction by
December 1st of this year.
Dr. Keller stated what they did do is damage her fence with a bobcat and lay some
sod. The attempt to push the panel back in caused further damage, which will now be
replaced professionally and correctly.
Dr. Keller said that multiple complaints have been made from the surrounding
properties. Photos and videos have been sent to the City of Manchester, and the answers
Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 10-21-2019 Page 4
they get from the Mayor are: “You are just complaining, take it up civilly”. “This is not a
Manchester problem”. She said it is a Manchester problem, because Manchester hasn’t
enforced any ordinances against the developer or helped resolve issues. The City of
Manchester has a moral and ethical responsibility, as well as liability, concerning this
issue, because the City of Manchester gave the project final approval. She said it is
obvious that some of the representatives for the City of Manchester care about outside
developers more than the tax paying residents that voted them into office.
Dr. Keller stated she is here today to protect her property from damages caused
from the negligence of the contractor and the City of Manchester.
Ms. Trish Gunby, 1406 Redwood Forest Drive, introduced herself as the democratic
candidate for the House of Representatives, 99th District. She wanted to let everyone know
the special election is on November 5.
Alderman Ben Toben thanked the Police Department for allowing elected officials
and employees to go through a training simulator. This was a training simulator where you
re-enact live situations that are very intense, split second decisions that can affect your life
and the lives around you. It was an eye-opening experience. He wanted to thank the
Manchester Police Department for all they do in the line of duty. They don’t have an easy
job and we should be thanking them every single day.
6. REPORTS FROM THE MAYOR
a. Mayoral Report
Mayor Mike Clement stated the Community Service Team worked last Wednesday
evening at the Good Shepherd Church as part of a large regional effort to prepare meals
that are packed and sent to third world countries where people are dying from hunger. He
said there were 35 participants from the City of Manchester. He said they ended up
packing 50 boxes of 36 meals in each box. The overall outcome which was completed was
that over 972,000 meals were packed by about 3,000 volunteers. He said it was a lot of
fun and also it allowed participants to contribute to a very important need.
Mayor Clement stated the St. Louis Symphony will be in concert on November 24 at
the Manchester United Methodist Church. The cost is $20 per seat. He said you can also
get preferred seating for $40.
Mayor Clement stated that he, along with Rebecca Pate, met with Chris Becker,
who is the conductor of the Manchester Community Band which provides three wonderful

Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 10-21-2019 Page 5
Mayor Clement discussed Dr. Johns and the massage parlor. He said he had met
with a reporter, and then they toured the Veterans Memorial, the Parks Facility and drove
through the Highlands.
Mayor Clement asked Planning and Zoning Director Rippetoe if she would like to

circumstances.

CHANNEL B – 1521 MAUTENNE DRIVE - STREAM IMPROVEMENTS
Alderman Ottenad read proposed Resolution # 19-0709, entitled: “A RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF MANCHESTER TO
ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH STOCK & ASSOCIATES CONSULTING ENGINEERS,
INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($60,000.00) TO
PROVIDE THE CITY WITH CONSTRUCTION DESIGN AND PERMITTING SERVICES
FOR THE CHANNEL B – 1521 MAUTENNE – STREAM IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT IN
THE CITY OF MANCHESTER”, by title only.
Director of Public Works Bob Ruck stated he handed out a single sheet to everyone.
It is a better copy of what is the Agenda Packet that did not print well. It is funded this year
for design and construction for next year.
Alderman Ottenad made the motion for approval of Resolution # 19-0709. The
motion was seconded by Alderman Hamill and carried unanimously, without any objection
from members of the Board of Aldermen.
b. RESOLUTION APPROVING ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR
CHANNEL D STREAM IMPROVEMENTS
Alderman Nolte read proposed Resolution # 19-0710, entitled: “A RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF MANCHESTER TO
ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH STOCK & ASSOCIATES CONSULTING ENGINEERS,
INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($150,000.00) TO PROVIDE THE CITY WITH CONSTRUCTION DESIGN AND

PROJECT IN THE CITY OF MANCHESTER”, by title only.
Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 10-21-2019 Page 7
Director of Public Works Bob Ruck stated he had handed out the exhibit which also
didn’t copy well in the packet. This is budgeted for design in 2020 and the work to be
budgeted for 2021. He has asked for approval to start the design process, as this needs to
be constructed next year. He said they are visiting with the Corps of Engineers the second
week in November to look at the stream itself and how we should fix it, but also, we have
limited expectations due to do bat-nesting trees. Any tree found in that area has a potential
of being a bat-nesting tree which must be taken down from November 1 to March 31 before
the bats return from the caves.
Mayor Clement said he has observed many of the bad channels in Ward Two, and
this is at least as bad. He said there is one house that is probably within 10 feet of the
creek channel, so it really needs to be moved up in a serious way.
Alderman Nolte made the motion for approval of Resolution # 19-0710. The motion
was seconded by Alderman Hamill and carried unanimously, without any objections from
the members of the Board of Aldermen.
c. RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION TRIM
GRANT

REIMBURSABLE COSTS INCURRED FOR THE HOWARD GEORGE DRIVE INVASIVE
SPECIES TREE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZING THE
CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT THEREFOR”, by title only.
Alderman Ottenad inquired if there is going to be a meeting to advise people why
these trees are being taken down.
Director Ruck answered that letters will be sent out soon. The work won’t start until
December. The grant is for removal of evasive species, and ornamental pears have been
qualified as an invasive species by the Missouri Department of Conservation. The Missouri
Department of Transportation (MoDOT) had planted the trees along Howard George Drive.
Howard George Drive is now in the jurisdiction of the City of Manchester. The City will be
taking down invasive species in December, followed by planting native trees in the Spring.
Alderman Ottenad asked who will be removing the trees.
Director Ruck answered that Public Works will take down the trees, and the City will
have a company come in to remove the stumps. When seedlings are removed, the City
will get trees for that area from Forest Relief.
Alderman Ottenad said she wondered who is going to be watering the trees.
Director Ruck answered the specifications have not been drawn up yet for who will
be watering the trees. It will either be the contractor or the Public Works Department.
Regular Board of Aldermen meeting 10-21-2019 Page 8
Alderman Nolte asked about the kinds of trees to be planted.
Director Ruck answered that one kind is an Oak.
Alderman Huether stated she was excited about this, and she understands there will
also be Black Gum Trees and Swamp White Oak.
Alderman Nolte asked about the size the trees will be when they are planted in the
ground.
Director Ruck answered he believes they will be of mixed height.
Alderman Ottenad asked about the caliber and if there will be something put around
the trees to protect them.
Director Ruck answered the trees will be 2” plus caliber, and there will be tubing put
around the trunks.
Alderman Huether asked if something went in the Manchester Message from the
Tree Board. She asked if at some point the City was going to invest in signs to put on site.
Director Ruck answered it is in the Manchester Message. He stated he is not
opposed to the signs. He said the Conservation Department is always looking for PR for
what they have done for the community.
Alderman Ottenad made the motion for approval of Resolution # 19-0711. The
motion was seconded by Alderman Hamill and carried unanimously, without objections
from any member of the Board of Aldermen.
