. . Minutes-Plan Commission Page 5 May 28, 1986 Chairman Hamilton called upon interested members of the audience to voice their opinions or raise any concerns to the partners. Mr. Ruben Sawyer of 8677 Barby Lane asked about parking on and access to the site. Mr. Smith stated that with a total unit count of 213 units they estimated that less than 50 percent of the tenants would drive their own cars and others could be transported by vans and buses. He stated that with the 86 units planned for assisted care, it was estimated that none of those tenants would drive. He felt that with new direct vehicular access provided to Delmar from the site, traffic would not be a problem in the neighborhood. Mrs. Leo Cosentino, 8644 West Kingsbury, asked if the project would be accessed to West Kingsbury. Mr. Smith stated that there would be no direct access to West Kingsbury. Mrs. Ruth Berman, 8640 West Kingsbury, stated that she was concerned about the service roadway accessing onto West Kingsbury directly in front of her house. She asked how high the proposed retaining wall would be. Chairman Hamilton stated that there would be a drop rather than a rise in grade from her property and that the wall would not appear to tower over her property. Mr. Deutsch stated that the increased grade had been totally eliminated. Mrs. Rosanna Culp, 8644 West Kingsbury, asked who would be responsible for removing the snow on the service drive. She stated that snow removal was often a problem on West Kingsbury. She was concerned that the City would be the only party responsible for snow removal. Mr. Peter Winston, 8687 Barby Lane, asked about the traffic on Barby. He wanted assurance that the access to Delmar would be constructed before the McKnight project was started in order to alleviate construction traffic in the neighborhood. Mr. Ollendorff stated that he wasn't sure this could be achieved, but the City and the developer were working out all possible alternatives. Mr. Fred Rogerson, 8649 West Kingsbury, asked if McKnight Road would be shut off entirely. Councilmember Adams stated that McKnight Road had been closed at the point where it met Ladue city limits. Mr. McCauley made a motion that the Plan Commission recommend rezoning the properties at 8636 West Kingsbury, 8641 West Kingsbury and 8634 Barby Lane from "SR" to "PR-O". Mr. Kennedy seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 6-0. Mr. McCauley made a motion that the Plan Commission recommend removal of the words "around the perimeter" from Condition #8 in Conditional Use Permit #240. Mr. Rice seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 6-0. Ms. Schuman made a motion that the Plan Commission recommend deletion of Condition #4 from Conditional Use Permit #240 and that the ensuing conditions be renumbered accordingly. Mr. Kennedy seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 6-0. Chairman Hamilton stated that both items would be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration and that the rezoning requests would require a public hearing.
