The first, VACA25‑007, was a request from Community Development to vacate approximately 6,035 square feet of East Will Street right‑of‑way. Patrick Gurus, associate planner, said the stub was never built and that the western extension is not anticipated because adjacent land to the west is designated floodway/floodplain. The vacated portion would be returned to the adjacent property owner, Mason Ridge LLC, and incorporated into Mason Ridge Phase 1 common area. Gurus said a cluster mailbox currently sits just east of the proposed vacated area.

The second request, VACA25‑008, sought to vacate a 10‑foot‑wide utility easement running parallel to the southern property line of Lot 1, about 1,100 square feet in total. Staff reported the city has no utilities in the easement, no utility companies have plans to use it, and vacating it would provide more flexibility for development of Lot 1; associated development rights would be conveyed to Built Better Homes LLC.

There were no public speakers in favor or opposed to either vacation. After brief discussion — including a staff explanation that the stub was likely reserved for a clubhouse that was never built — the commission voted to recommend approval of both VACA25‑007 and VACA25‑008. Both motions passed by unanimous roll call and will be forwarded to City Council for final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Republic - Planning & Zoning - July, 14 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of two vacation requests — VACA25‑007 to vacate roughly 6,035 sq ft of East Will Street right‑of‑way and VACA25‑008 to vacate a 1,100 sq ft utility easement in Lot 1 of Mason Ridge Phase 1.

Staff and the applicant told commissioners the amended PDD would reduce allowable density compared with the existing Frisco Square PDD. \"The current plan development has just under 150 apartments and 19 residential lots,\" said Chris Wynne, civil engineer with CJW Transportation Consultants representing the developer. \"We're asking for 4.05 lots per acre — almost a 200% reduction in dwelling units compared with the currently approved plan.\" The applicant's plan calls for a minimum lot area of 5,500 square feet, minimum lot width of 50 feet and minimum lot depth of 110 feet; setbacks include 25 feet front and rear, a 6‑foot interior side setback, and 15–20 feet for side streets depending on classification.

City staff told the commission the amended PDD would include four new local streets, municipal water and sewer connections, and three stormwater detention/retention areas placed where topography and mapped sinkholes allow. \"The development plan includes provisions for municipal water and sewer services, a plan for stormwater management, and the construction of several local class streets,\" said Chris Taber, principal planner. Taber and staff concluded the rezoning is generally consistent with the city's 2021 comprehensive and land use plans and recommended approval.

Commissioners heard concerns from multiple nearby residents about stormwater, groundwater and sinkholes, pesticide runoff, removal of a grove of trees that provides bird habitat, traffic on Highway 60, and electrical infrastructure capacity. Kevin Knotts, a property owner south of Montecristo, said existing runoff from nearby subdivisions already causes erosion on his land and that added development has forced him to install $15,000 in water‑treatment equipment. \"We're getting bad water reports,\" Knotts said.

Angel Fialik, the city's engineer, told the commission the city had not yet received a stormwater design for this concept plan and that final engineering would be required during the infrastructure permitting phase. She said the city requires developments to match pre‑development flows or lessen off‑site impacts per the city's stormwater manual. On sinkholes, Fialik said the city references Greene County's inventory of karst features and that a property owner may be required to do a geological study if they wish to change mapped sinkhole boundaries. On traffic, she said the applicant's traffic impact study, reviewed by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), did not require intersection improvements for the proposed plan. On electric service, the applicant said preliminary design work is underway with the local electric provider (Liberty) and that Liberty had not raised serviceability concerns based on the preliminary files the developer provided.

The applicant said the proposed plan would be less intense than the existing PDD. \"The current planned development allows a combined density of about 9.89 dwelling units per acre; we're proposing 4.05,\" Wynne said. He and a developer partner, Brad King, said they would discuss tree preservation and other neighbors' concerns as the design advances.

After discussion, the commission took a single recommendation vote on the rezoning application. The motion to recommend approval carried unanimously by roll call.

The commission's recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action. If Council rejects the rezoning, the property would remain subject to the existing Frisco Square PDD approved in the 1990s, which allows higher density than the proposal before the commission.","The Planning and Zoning Commission on July 14 recommended the City Council approve PDD25‑001 to rezone about 18.49 acres at the 900 block of South Colorado Avenue from Frisco Square PDD to an amended Frisco Square planned development district to allow a 75‑lot single‑family subdivision. The vote was unanimous.","actionData","errors"]
