February 5, 2007 1. Rezoning for #1 McKnight Place Ms. Brot apologized to all the citizens in attendance who had come, saying she had not known about the continuation until shortly before the start of this meeting. Ms. Brot encouraged anyone there to speak if they could not be present at the next Council meeting. 2. Comprehensive Plan Update Both hearings relating to the expansion and rezoning of #1 McKnight Place were continued to the next Council session on February 26, 2007, due to the request of the developer Mr. Charlie Deutsch. The Public Hearings were opened at 6:45 p.m. CITIZEN COMMENTS 1. Tom Malon, 8677 Barby Lane Mr. Malon stated that he had e-mailed a message to all Councilmembers stating that Barby Lane was originally dedicated for public use and should not be closed by the City. He quoted from the survey drawing “The undersigned owner of the tract of land hereon platted and further described in the accompanying Surveyor’s Certificate, has caused the same to be surveyed and subdivided in the manner as shown on this plat which subdivision shall hereafter be known as ‘Barby Lane.’ The portions of Barby Lane, 50 feet wide, and the Cul-de-Sac, at the west end, which for better identification are shown hatched on the above plat are hereby dedicated to the public use forever. The easements shown on the above plat are hereby dedicated to the City of University City, Missouri, for the purposes of installing and maintaining public utilities and sewers, in, under, or over said strips. The building lines as shown are hereby established.” Mr. Malon did not believe University City had the authority to close part of Barby Lane to be used for private use since this subdivision street was dedicated for public use forever. Mark Frank, 8686 W. Kingsbury Ave Mr. Frank questioned the City’s opinion of the rezoning and why the City’s version was different from Mr. Deutsch’s original request. Mr. Lehman Walker, Director of Community Development for University City stated that the staff recommended no change in the Single Family zoning on a couple of lots as an assurance to maintain its current single-family residential nature. In the future, if Mr. Deutsch wanted to expand to these remaining single-family zoned properties, he would have to submit another proposal to the Planning staff. The Public Hearing was adjourned at 7:05 p.m., to the next Public Hearing on February 26, 2007, at 6:30 p.m. 3
