Regular meeting October 10, 2005 proposed Centennial Greenway, she wanted to know if there was a reason why we didn't look for some kind of mixed use business other than a drive-thru. Mr. Ollendorff said that City staff has been promoting that mixed used development for that stretch of Olive, but this lot was not large enough to support any more than one small building. Part of the lot is in the flood plan and you cannot build on it. Mr. Wagner agreed that the Plan Commission did discuss preference of Council but since part was in flood plan and prior use had been this kind of restaurant. Ms. Baumgardt recalled that previous Council spent around $12,000 for HMK to render drawings of potential use of this corridor. Those drawings reflected image of what could be and reflected a much different vision for that particular corner, than a Rallys. She understood the limitations of that particular corner but did not think that it represented a long range understanding of what the Olive Corridor is suppose to evolve into. To vote on this drive-thru would not reflect the foresight of what the City spent for outside renderings, just a couple of years previously. Ms. Colquitt requested to speak to the owner of the proposed restaurant, Chris Spellman, 403 Davenport. She wanted to know it there would be drive-thrus on both sides, of which he agreed. She then asked if there was also going to be walk up service and if the hours of operations would be the same for both walk-up and drive-thru, which he said yes. Ms. Colquitt then addressed Mr. Ollendorff to require extra clean-up, because the previous owner, with the same venue, caused extra debris in area. Mr. Ollendorff read the conditions put on the approval, which included clean-up for site and adjacent area. Ms. Welsch requested that conditions of adding a drainage into River DesPeres be added and also the bank of River DesPeres be shored up. The owner agreed to work with Council. She also wanted to be sure that the developer would be environmentally friendly and to be sure that when asphalt is laid, it would not damage the Channel of River DesPeres. Mr. Sharpe said the property had been sitting vacant for a long time and was glad to see someone want to work with Council to improve that lot. The motion to approve passed six to one, with a Nay vote from Ms. Welsch. AGENDA ITEM #3 - Transfer Station Agreement To accept agreement with Fred Weber's use of Municipal Waste Station Mr. Wagner said that he felt that Council was nowhere near ready to vote on this. He felt that some discussion needed to happen to discuss the legal aspect of making a contract with a private company. Mr. Wagner felt that the negotiations that had taken Page 3
