6.A detailed construction traffic control and parking plan should be submitted to the director of planning for approval. Said plan shall set forth details pertaining to worker and resident parking during all phases of the proposed construction. Any permits required for construction traffic and/or parking on Delmar Boulevard must be obtained through St. Louis County. The motion was seconded by Mr. Halpert and passed by a voice vote. Hearing: Minor Subdivision: Final Plat – 6601 Vernon Avenue The Chairperson announced that a hearing was scheduled for Final Plat approval of a Minor Subdivision located at 6601 Vernon Avenue. Staff provided a brief explanation of the proposed subdivision. The current proposal is to subdivide a 2.271 acre parcel into two parcels of 0.695 acres and 1.576 acres. The 0.695 acre parcel will be given to the City of University City and is proposed to be the future site of the Fire Station. Questions/comments from the Plan Commission and responses included: 1.Why is this item before the Plan Commission? Staff: The portion of land being given to the city does not currently exist as its own parcel. It must go through the subdivision process prior to changing ownership. 2.Some Plan Commission members are disappointed that the applicant is not present. Staff: Can make it a requirement that applicants be present at Plan Commission meeting. A motion was made by Mr. Byrne to approve the Final Plat for the Minor Subdivision. The motion was seconded by Ms. Lewis and passed by a voice vote. Mr. Senturia abstained from the vote. Hearing: Text Amendments to Sections 34-55.1; 34-56.2; 34-56.3; 34-85.2; and 34-106.2 The proposed amendments to Sections 34-55.1, 34-56.2 and 34-56.3 include minor corrections and rearranging of text in order to place certain regulations where they make more sense. Specifically, the location of accessory buildings more than ten feet from a principal building is a dimensional regulation, rather than a setback exception. Prohibiting the conversion of garages into living quarters is a use limitation, rather than a dimensional regulation. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed amendments will make this section of the code easier to read and will make it easier to locate these particular regulations. The proposed amendment to Section 34-85.2 is a minor correction to a typographical error. The proposed amendments to Section 34-106.2 include rearranging the text for primary signs of nonresidential uses in order to be more consistent with other parts of the sign regulations. The proposed amendment also addresses additional regulations for buildings on a corner lot.
