January 24, 1996 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 Mr. Thomas Goodman appeared on behalf of the Precision Tool Co., 6601 Vernon, University City, Missouri 63130. Mr. Joe Dale, 10176 Corp. Sq. Dr., Ste. 250, St. Louis, Missouri 63132 appeared as architect for the project. Mr. Rex A. Bertram, 720 Olive St., Ste. 617, St. Louis, Missouri 63101 appeared as attorney on behalf of the property owner Trident Investment Co. c/o John Kraska, 516 Hanley Ind. Ct., St. Louis, Missouri 63144. The Chairperson noted the Commission's procedures and criteria for reviewing subdivision applications. The Chairperson called upon the applicant. Mr. Goodman gave a history of the development of the Precision Tool Co. at its current location of 6601 Vernon in University City. Precision Tool is a wholly owned subsidiary of Masco St. Louis at the same location. The two companies will be separately owned in nine years. They wish to subdivide into two lots the property at the southwest corner of Vernon and Kingsland in order to build a new facility for Precision Tool on the southern proposed lot. This location will allow Precision Tool to be close to the parent company, Masco St. Louis and allow them to remain in University City. Mr. Goodman distributed copies of a revised proposed final plat dated 1/19/96 which he feels addresses the deficiencies mentioned in Mr. Goldman's memorandum. He gave an overview of the proposed subdivision. Mr. Goodman also distributed a copy of a site plan detailing the new building on the proposed southern lot. Mr. Dale outlined the specifications of that project. Chairperson Ratner clarified that the Plan Commission was only considering the subdivision application tonight. The site plan for the building will be considered by the City Council at a separate meeting. Chairperson Ratner called on Planning Director Al Goldman to provide the staff report. Mr. Goldman stated that Precision Tool Company has submitted an application on behalf of Trident Investment Co. to subdivide a parcel of land located on the southwest corner of Vernon and Kingsland. The plat submitted tonight ties down the dimensions of the sewer easement that cuts through Vernon Place No. 2 Subdivision as required by Section 29-3 of the Municipal Code. Since part of the property is located in a special flood hazard area, the topographic drawing should include the 100 year flood boundary and flood level elevation. The site plan distributed this evening addresses that issue. A certificate needs to be furnished to show that all taxes have been paid. Once that is done, the plat will comply with all other city ordinances and regulations. Mr. Bertram submitted a copy of the certificate showing that taxes have been paid. Mr. Hill entered it into the file. Mr. Hill stated that abutting property owners and the neighborhood trustees from the University Heights subdivision were mailed notice of this hearing. Chairperson Ratner asked for comments from the public. Demetrious Darris, Supervisor of Maintenance and Plant Operations for University City Public Schools, 8346 Delcrest asked if the building would abut the retaining wall on school district property to the south. Mr. Dale replied that the proposed building will be set back 121 feet from m-1-24.plc
