David Gress, development services staff, presented the rezoning and stressed that a portion of the site functions as a regional storm detention facility shared by adjacent businesses. The owner-applicant, Mike Blythe of Outbranched Properties LLC, requested the C-2P designation with a concept plan attached to define building design and screening standards. Gress said the Board of Adjustment earlier approved a related variance of use for a construction sales-and-service use and attached four conditions, including prohibition of nine higher-impact uses (for example, adult businesses, self-storage, vehicle sales) in exchange for allowing the construction sales-and-service use on the site.

Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission agreed to waive certain P-district public-amenity requirements (items such as a public plaza or central clock tower) as part of a negotiated package of enhanced building design and screening provisions in the memorandum of understanding attached to the plan. The planning commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval.

No members of the public spoke at the rezoning public hearing. Council Member Abdelgawad moved approval of Bill 39-69; Council Member Holman seconded. The first reading carried unanimously, 8-0.

If the council approves final ordinance language after required procedures, the applicant will later submit a site plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission showing details that must comply with the conditions included in the MOU and the planned-district overlay.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting 5/12/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved a rezoning of Hibner Acres Lot 1B from C-2 General Commercial to C-2P General Commercial Plan District with a concept plan and development standards after prior Board of Adjustment review and a unanimous planning commission recommendation.","taxTitle","Raymore City, Cass County, Missouri","taxId",71738,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6062604,"Council approves Timber Ridge final plat after debate over drainage; tabling motion fails",851,3153000,4004000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3277255-59bba170a9c846ef7155ba071dd77f5a&start=3153&end=4004","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3277255-59bba170a9c846ef7155ba071dd77f5a/thumbnail_3153000.jpg","/articles/6062604/Raymore-City/Cass-County/Missouri/Council-approves-Timber-Ridge-final-plat-after-debate-over-drainage-tabling-motion-fails","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6062604-3992958ed4fe4778936ebea9b9dff3aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154830&Signature=eCvHk6B-t-L783~DqDu-9lNrxyi2HdbEw-dzOPHicMZPZay68~DEN~x9I0elUI4Ddv1CX820C-dA2DnBImc5Tn0F8r~7qBRmJX0SoeGZfVrCbNEzbgXge0ADf~ojuW4KHp6XL2~BsAvYz~YuRhee0N9ulynL7GYuBgPMC~SI2rbtUx8OqX2Q4jKRUtZcu94gRYhKOFMp39Sm54VlLAJQ8JCWzjlC4UTVSH23ktFlqfZS7Z59FfNRyHSHDg5L4cTDvVcl5uBZsYoXC0IgZm0GsKQpryNUwVZwqdeTGHtvbv~YYhNKpGAmVHt2lA4PKRNjgQai1XxCJrpx9LT9PFP7Mg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Raymore City Council on May 12 approved the Timber Ridge final plat despite extensive council and public discussion about stormwater runoff and drainage impacts on nearby backyards.

Staff presented the final-plat application and described outreach and technical changes since the preliminary approval, including updated street names to comply with the city’s street-naming policy and a developer proposal to route runoff into a detention basin on the southeast corner of the new subdivision. Public Works staff and the project engineer described a revised approach that uses a swale to carry water from an adjacent apartment property (the Depot) into the new subdivision’s detention basin rather than relocating existing field inlets.

Council debate focused on whether the proposed measures would adequately address standing water and accelerated runoff that neighbors say now ponds near Derby Avenue. Council Member Baker moved to table the ordinance until completion of a “comprehensive and detailed wastewater management plan,” arguing that the record lacked sufficient infrastructure detail. The motion to table failed on a roll call vote, 2-6.

After tabling failed, Council Member Delgado moved approval of Bill 39-68; Council Member Holman seconded. The council approved the first reading in a 6-2 vote (six yes, two no). Staff noted the developer’s written commitments in the development agreement to address drainage between the new subdivision and the existing neighborhood and that public improvements (sidewalk and street lights) will be installed with the plat.

Sean Siebert, who identified himself in the meeting as having an engineer role for the project, told council the developer will cooperate with staff and the adjacent Depot property owners to obtain access needed to implement the drainage solution. Engineering staff said the city will not accept infrastructure for dedication until drainage work meets city standards.

The council’s vote allows the plat to move forward to the next procedural steps; staff and the developer will continue to refine drainage design and coordinate easement and construction work required by the development agreement.","After extended discussion about stormwater and potential backyard flooding, the Raymore City Council approved the Timber Ridge final plat (Bill 39-68) 6-2; a separate motion to table the item pending a comprehensive wastewater/drainage study failed 2-6.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6062608,"Raymore awards Kurzweil Road design contract to Wilson and Company",126,2716000,2842000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3277255-59bba170a9c846ef7155ba071dd77f5a&start=2716&end=2842","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3277255-59bba170a9c846ef7155ba071dd77f5a/thumbnail_2716000.jpg","/articles/6062608/Raymore-City/Cass-County/Missouri/Raymore-awards-Kurzweil-Road-design-contract-to-Wilson-and-Company","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6062608-66f6c26a5074c3beaf03f5e943167827/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154830&Signature=Sk~NNCF3-bvWUcoG3hYRjkan5QLg8OhSilCusEMfkD3vcVlpwpm~5EUc1KPxRyMAmYwBa0Iwx0cxv8pMRNNdnNle9nlAzAJgU7eumtNCyxCIPY~VsZmJW3n7T1cUOqVZ-fG86bpt1IqvxrybLgs2KejuFtSdCxz-u0BXy7N~bnIJCIR7m5CKcCNkzXi0sENRH53sqUsIoD4--NK6af9iJkZ9P7HCwEEqSCmDbQXI1yd61eBYGeSH7gIUEDJZOGztqMGljDtEM0VQH8YgAietshHdwFzO3xESsjMcPt4-1iVdaKG88Lxf-cn9BukHDKOPF2I4TZQn9mNzCcgMv2kHRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Raymore City Council on May 12 approved a contract with Wilson and Company Inc. for design of the Kurzweil Road project and authorized change orders within budget constraints. The council also approved an emergency reading so design work can begin immediately.

Engineering staff recommended Wilson and Company after receiving four statements of qualifications; the contract amount in staff materials and the initial ordinance reading was $660,015. At the second reading the ordinance text included an amount read as $660,001.15; staff and the presenting engineer clarified the intended award amount is $660,015 and that the project is funded from the 2020 general obligation fund.

Mister Salisbury, who presented the staff report, said the city expects design completion by October to allow bidding and a spring 2026 start of construction. Salisbury said survey crews were ready to mobilize Monday, May 19, and traffic-count equipment could be deployed as soon as the week of the meeting. That schedule was the principal reason staff and council approved the emergency reading, Salisbury said.

Council Member Delgado moved approval of Bill 39-67; Council Member Holman seconded. The council voted unanimously, 8-0, to approve the contract and to adopt the ordinance by emergency reading. The ordinance authorizes the city manager to enter into the contract and to approve change orders within established budget constraints.

Staff and the contractor representatives — identified in the meeting as Cody and Darren from Wilson and Company — said they are prepared to begin the survey and traffic-data collection needed to keep the aggressive design schedule on track.","The council approved a $660,015 contract with Wilson and Company for Kurzweil Road design and passed an emergency reading so design work can start immediately; staff said survey crews could mobilize the following week.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6062613,"Raymore council adopts Blueprint 2045 comprehensive plan",328,2261000,2589000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3277255-59bba170a9c846ef7155ba071dd77f5a&start=2261&end=2589","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3277255-59bba170a9c846ef7155ba071dd77f5a/thumbnail_2261000.jpg","/articles/6062613/Raymore-City/Cass-County/Missouri/Raymore-council-adopts-Blueprint-2045-comprehensive-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6062613-0e91784288ffc2e16aca055051e5f318/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154830&Signature=IA5qFFGq0B6WwR8-mF32yVlKl3WBcE3OrJFc0zct9jImR33aMKQjxedjcW1Q9zvR-Hi1WK2JVzbjAyfmnpuTf64VbG8ht~YutSCPrhqI9uTlMvjjDZsnFBE4-S-dAwx8P8ryoUVCg7Nxys~FYhW6Cp~jZRttncjrKBfGZChiVi4T6mMNt-8vTtRHaJF4TSrr2WtNO70NB2dzEKDI9bL6TwTs7oRXs0n6Afp-piFKrYwlrYcEN~C2zwTLqAnqMHGQ3ICuCX1DlgElHrUVHEP~ETqp2goMR0Ro8qap4AmdtZDj3NaE4phvUgW3c2JOznWuiqLgPJORsZ00aTR9o3-3MA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Raymore City Council on May 12 voted unanimously to adopt the Raymore Blueprint 2045 comprehensive plan, a citywide roadmap staff says will guide community and economic development over the next 20 years.

The plan, introduced at a public hearing on May 12, received prior review and positive recommendations from the Park Board and the Planning and Zoning Commission; the planning commission forwarded the draft to council with a unanimous recommendation. David Gress, the city’s development services staffer who presented the report, said the plan began in 2021 and was assembled with consultant support.

Gress told the council that chapter 6 of the plan lists short-, medium- and long-term implementation steps and that staff will start a comprehensive review of the Unified Development Code to align city regulations with the plan’s goals. “Our first step is to take a close look through that document and make sure that it's accomplishing the types of projects that the council and the community wish to see,” Gress said during his presentation.

At the public hearing, resident Sean Siebert asked where the plan would be posted; Gress said staff will publish an interactive story map on the city website to replace the existing growth-management plan materials and that the draft is already included in board packets online.

Council Member Abdelgawad moved approval of Resolution 25-18 adopting Blueprint 2045; Council Member Holman seconded. The council voted 8-0 to adopt the plan. After adoption, staff said they will proceed with the code review, update development standards and advance a new sign code as outlined in the implementation chapter.

Adoption does not itself change zoning or development approvals: Gress and planning staff said the next, more specific steps will include code amendments and separate public hearings where required.","The Raymore City Council unanimously adopted the Raymore Blueprint 2045 comprehensive plan after reviews by the parks board, planning and zoning commission and staff; adoption begins code-review and implementation steps laid out in the plan’s Chapter 6.","actionData","errors"]
