. . PLAN COMMISSION Minutes May 25, 1994 The Plan Commission held its regular meeting in the E.O.C. room located in the basement at City Hall, 6801 Delmar Boulevard, University City, Missouri on May 25, 1994. The meeting commenced at 7:30 p.m. with Vice Chairperson Ratner presiding. Voting Members Present Andrea Ratner, Vice Chairperson Carl Safe Thomas E. Kahn Mickey Peniston Voting Members Absent Stephen P. Marsh, Chairperson Charles Foxworth A. John Solodar Council Member Present: Mary Schuman, Council Liaison Staff Present: Al Goldman, Director of Planning; Frank B. Hill, Zoning Administrator Approval of Minutes Vice Chairperson Ratner stated that the Commission would now consider approval of the minutes from the April 27, 1994 meeting. Ms. Ratner stated that the following paragraph should be added to page 3 of the minutes: Ms. Schuman asked why this zoning would be good for this property, particularly in light of the recent decision to rezone the lot across the street to "GC" - General Commercial. Ms. Ratner stated that there were three reasons she felt this rezoning was appropriate for the lot at 7400 Olive. First, the lot is deep with the rear portion being surrounded by residential property. It is more important to preserve the residential area than to increase the "GC" - General Commercial along Olive. "GC" does not have to be preserved. Second, the current status of the property is a dual zoning. She is uncomfortable with that situation and feels that if the city was legally challenged for having two zoning districts on one lot, it may result in the whole lot being zoned "GC." Finally, the presence of the cemetery has made the lot difficult to develop for anything and the proposed zoning change is necessary to accommodate proposed development of this site. There has been enough abandoned property on Olive not to miss the opportunity here if a viable site plan is presented. She further stated that the meeting date, headers and footers should be changed to 4/27/94 and that the "H" in the word "he" should be changed to lower case in several places when not at the beginning of a sentence. Mr. Safe moved for approval of the April 27, 1994 minutes as amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Kahn and passed by a vote of 4 - 0; all members voted "aye."
