City Council - Regular Meetings

CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES September 15, 2020 The City Council met this date in a regular session, via Zoom, which was available to the public via teleconference, at 7:38 pm. Present at Roll Call: Mayor Gerry Welch Councilmember Laura Arnold Councilmember Pam Bliss Councilmember David Franklin Councilmember Emerson Smith Councilmember Karen D. Alexander Councilmember Sarah Richardson A quorum was present. Also present: Ms. Joan Jadali, Interim City Manager Mr. Neil Bruntrager, City Attorney Ms. Katie akazono, City Clerk PUBLIC HEARING Zoning Code Text Amendment - Parking Development Standards: Proposed Amendments Include Changes and Additions to Sections 53.020, 53.047, 53.057, 53.067, 53.077, 53.117, 53. I 57, 53.180 Through 53.189, 53.233, and 53.243 of the Zoning Ordinance in Order to Clarify and Update Regulations for Parking Development Standards in Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Multiple Family Residence Districts Mayor Welch opened the public hearing. Mara Perry, Director of Planning and Development, gave a brief presentation (Exhibit A, available in the City Clerk's office). She reviewed the process for the proposed changes at the Plan Commission (See Exhibit A, page 2). These were approved by the Plan Commission in March of 2020, and we were prepared to come to Council in April when COVID hit. She stated that they are asking the Council to hold the Public Hearing open at this time for review and public comment. We added in bicycle parking regulations, based on discussion with the Sustainability Commission. More intense developments can cause parking deficits, especially in commercial districts. We looked at minimums and maximums - we don't want to overpark. There are options for a variance including staff, Plan Commission, and the Board of Adjustment (See Exhibit A, page 5). We looked clearly at loading spaces (See Exhibit A, page 6). She reviewed parking facility design (See Exhibit A, page 7-10). We also looked at location and front yard parking. We have had complaints about people parking in the grass on the side of their driveway, etc. We looked at options for driveway extension without allowing a paved front yard. The Plan Commission spent a lot of time on this. We added in information on circle drives to ensure vehicles can make it around the driveway. She reviewed Commercial and Industrial Vehicles (See Exhibit A, page 10-12). She discussed trailers, dumpsters, etc. (See Exhibit A, page 12). We did add bicycle parking, which is new to our Code (See Exhibit A, page 13-14). She reviewed accessory parking facilities and modification of parking standards (See Exhibit A, page 14-16). September 15, 2020 Councilmember Arnold asked about vehicle signage. I think it is not a particularly welcoming way to think about our community. I would encourage my colleagues to look at 53.183, the section on Commercial Vehicles, especially subsection 3 and 4. I really do find it bothersome to say to people that they can work in our community but not park their vehicle in a visible way. Ms. Perry stated that they did have that discussion at Plan Commission, and they did not ask to change it. But you can certainly have that discussion here. Councilmember Arnold also commended Ms. Perry and the Commission on all the work that went into this. Councilmember Franklin asked why student parking only requires one space and multi-family requires 1.5. Ms. Perry stated that it assumes a combination in dorms where a lot of students don't have vehicles and use bikes or other means. We can research it further if you would like. Councilmember Franklin stated that he understands the rationale, and was just questioning. Ms. Perry stated that we really only have Webster University. They have a certain amount of spaces for classrooms, office uses, beds, etc., and by keeping that number down it is because of group usage for the campus. Councilmember Arnold asked about a scenario in which we want people to overpark. Ms. Perry stated that we don't. You will find cases where someone comes in and tears down a building and thinks they need a certain number of spaces and overpark it. Councilmember Arnold asked about the exception. Ms. Perry stated that other communities have been convinced that someone needs additional parking. Some cities do "phantom parking" where they can take out green space and squeeze spaces in. But it is rare, and maybe we don't need it. Ms. Perry stated that if Council has questions ahead of the next meeting, they can prepare backup for them. A motion was made by Councilmember Arnold, seconded by Councilmember Bliss, to keep the Public Hearing open until the October 6, 2020 Council meeting. Mayor Welch called for the vote to keep the public hearing open until the October 6, 2020 Council meeting. MEMBERS VOTfNG: AYES: ARNOLD, BLISS, FRANKLIN, SMITH, ALEXANDER, RICHARDSON, WELCH NOES:NONE Mayor Welch stated that the public hearing would be kept open until the October 6, 2020 Council meeting.

Exhibit B From: Janice Epperson <jmedancer@gmail.com> To: <citycouncil@webstergroves.org> Date: 9/13/2020 8:47 PM Subject: Remarks by Visitors- City Council Meeting City Council, I would like to express my concerns over the Webster Development Project. This project is way too big for the small area they are planning to develop. It will not only disrupt and destroy the Shady Creek area, but will also disrupt and destroy the sense of community that is Webster Groves. With a development of this size it will not only destroy green space which wildlife depend on, but also take away the enjoyment people in this area experience everyday. It will also add to the already existing problem with flooding of roadways and yards in this area, only making it worse. Many of the people who live in this area were attracted to it because of the green space, the feeling of living in a small, close community, and the charm of Old Webster. This development if allowed to progress will destroy all of that and more. Please take these concerns into consideration when deciding if this is the right development for our community.

I live at 505 W. Kirkham between Slocum and Parsons near Larson Park. The traffic speeds are already dangerously high on this stretch of Kirkham Ave, enough to where I worked with Captain Spear a few years ago to start a petition with my neighbors to get a traffic study done on Kirkham. Captain Spear had the study performed and found excessive speeding, however nothing came about from it, which was very disappointing. Now, with the talks of adding hundreds of more cars onto Kirkham daily, I'm very concerned about the dangerous conditions. Kirkham is a very windy and narrow road (narrow space between sidewalk and street) near Larson Park. I'm seriously consider moving if this development is approved.

First off, the idea of multiple 7 story buildings does not fit into the community feel and pace that we moved to when we bought our home. Secondly, the traffic along Kirkham is already busy enough with people cutting through to the west - almost always at a high rate of speed. This street that has little separation with the sidewalk and nothing has been done to help this issue. The proposed riverwalk does nothing to help the added traffic that will be inevitable towards Rock Hill Rd. Finally, there are already enough empty storefronts along Lockwood where a great vibe is already beginning to take shape - shouldn't our efforts be focused on further developing what is already in place? What is going to be done to address the shortage of parking that is already at issue with the new restaurants opening this year? As currently detailed, I am opposed to this development Peter Nuemberger (W.

To our "Young at Heart" Mayor & City Council, As background, if you have never seen this video or if it has been a while, I encourage you to watch "16 in Webster Groves", a hour long documentary by CBS News and narrated by Charles Kuralt about students in Webster Groves High School in 1966. You may even recognize a few current adult residents. It paints a honest and sometimes unflattering picture of student life at school and in our community. https://vimeo.com/12658300 16 in Webster Groves on Vimeo 16 In Webster Groves was a 1966 award-winning documentary one-hour TV special produced by CBS News focusing on the experiences of adolescents growing up and living in Webster Groves, Missouri, United States. vimeo.com My point in sharing this is that our kids, 18 and under, represent almost 30% of Webster's total population, yet we adults, including yours truly, do not reach out to them enough for their ideas, thinking and opinions. Kids are the hope of the world, they see the world through a different lens, and they are, by far, the most creative people on the planet. Here's two opportunities: • Your recent letter on racism and graffiti stated that Council has held meetings with the School District, Webster U and the North Webster Neighborhood Coalition, all with adults and no students. In particular, I would strongly encourage you to meet with the youth from the June 7 protest rally at Blackburn Park and let them fully participate in your community conversations. • The idea to create a "Student Advisory Council" at the high school to provide perspectives and ideas to City Council on current issues has been put on the table and acknowledged, but file:///C:/Users/nakazonok/AppData/Local/Temp/XPgrpwise/5F608B0EWG_DOMWG_P... 9/15/2020  Page 2 of 2 no action yet. Maybe it is a new City Board or Commission that meets regularly or when current issues demand it. In closing, the poet, William Wordsworth simply and profoundly wrote, "The child is father to the man." True, we adults teach our kids many things, but may we never forget that our kids teach us very valuable things in return. Please do not shut them out of commenting on the community they love. Thank you. PEACE.

We continue to garner petition support against the enormous size of the Webster Redevelopment Project. It will destroy the environment of Shady Creek. will result in a reduction in the amount. of green space and will also result in road widening and increased noi e. traffic and parking problems for the surrounding community. The buildings are clearly way too tall. To our knowkdge there arc no 6 or 7-story buildings in Webster Groves let alone 8 of them. A 5-story building was defeated acros from City Hall because it was too tall. The Elle Apartments on Lockwood was proposed to be 6-stories high but was later modified to 3-stories because it wa too tall. Why mu r the local resident from the poorer ide of Webster endure at least 8 7-story building ? Plea e di pen e ju rice equally no matter which side of the railroad tracks the residents live. Also the height of the buildings are cleverly hidden from the richer side of Webster while it will look like downtown Manhattan for the people on the other side. Where does Mr Chapman live we might ask? Undoubtedly on the richer side. We hear the statement that the buildings need to be this tall because the land is so expensive. The primary concern should be that the development is good for Web ter and it i al o of benefit to the local residents. A project of this size doe neither a the detrimental effects to the environment and the living standards of the local residents far outweigh any potential benefits. Also. the potential for unforeseen negative secondary effects can not be undere ti mated from a gigantic project of thi size. Please reconsider making this project smaller b) at least two-fold or go back to the drawing board and consider less invasive ideas.

I realize we are looking at multiple crises at once. I know we are all working toward racial equality in meaningful and measurable ways, while dealing with a deadly pandemic that has hit the physical and economic health of our community in ways that could not have been predicted. I thank you for your time, energy, and perseverance. However, I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the importance and urgency of managing the climate crisis our community faces as well. While many might feel that the issue can be pushed to the back burner, it is simply fact that we have to start acting like our house is on fire, becuase for those in the west it literally is on fire, and for those south of us, they are preparing for yet another hurricane that threatens to inundated them with flood waters. We are in an emergency. It is time for us to take action. Acting NOW will require us to think both locally and globally. What can WE do in Webster Groves to improve the health and sustainability of our community and of the global environment. We must think of a multi faceted approach; Big and small solutions. Encouraging better behaviour of our citizens (walking and biking more, backyard composting, energy conservation incentives, encouraging our many restaurants to join the Green Dining Alliance) AND creating legislative support (reduce carbon emissions from our own fleet of vehicles, encourage energy efficiency of our buildings, high standards for new buildings, making streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists, curbside composting). There are so many opportunities to rise up and lead in this effort to protect a livable future for future Webster Groves generations. I realize that the City has taken steps in the past to address some issues that could make our community more sustainable, but I urge you to aspire to bold solutions. Perhaps something as simple for a first step as signing the Mayors for Clean Energy program from Sierra Club that was introduced in 2019. While the pledge lacks specifics of "how to", it signals to our neighbors and to the utility companies that as a community we value each other and a livable future. That's the very least we can promise for our kids. Perhaps it is time to consider a Director of Sustainability position for the City such as one Creve Coeur has (through a grant) to see Webster Groves take the lead in Sustainability. file:///C:/Users/nakazonok/AppData/Local/Temp/XPgrpwise/5F60CD53 WG_DOMWG_P... 9/15/2020  Page 2 of2 Respectfully and Passionately, Jamie Hasemeier 215 E.

My kids go to Bristol. [ live off Kirkham and Rock Hill. I can't see how that level of expansion can be supported by the community or infrastructure. I have seen what disruption comes with even residential construction and I fear the impact this would have on many people's daily lives for years to come. I'm open to learning new information, but the scale is beyond double what I would have thought plausible development plan for the area. The ambition of it seems misplaced.
