AMEND LAND USE MAP - BETWEEN 14TH STREET AND 15TH
STREET AND AVENUE K
AND AVENUE M
Public Hearings 2, 3 and 4 were discussed together but voted
on separately.
Vice-President Kearney opened the public hearing on the proposed
amendment to the Land Use Map of the City of Kearney from “Low Density
Residential” to “Medium Density Residential” property described as Lots 1617
and 1618, Original Town of Kearney Junction now the City of Kearney, Buffalo
County, Nebraska, together with all of Avenue L from 14th Street to 15th
Street, and together with the vacated south 7 feet of 15th Street abutting said
Lots 1617 and 1618 and vacated Avenue L on the north, and together with the vacated
east 7 feet of vacated 14th Street abutting Lots 1617 and 1618 and vacated
Avenue L on the south, and also together with the vacated 7 feet of Avenue K
abutting Lot 1617 and that portion of the vacated south 7 feet of 15th Street
and the vacated north 7 feet of 14th Street on the west, AND Lots 1 through 12
inclusive, Warwick Place, a subdivision of Lot 1358, Original Town of Kearney
Junction now the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska, together with all
of the alley abutting Lots 1 through 12 inclusive, and also together with the
vacated south 7 feet of 16th Street abutting Lots 1 and 12 and said alley on
the north, and also together with the vacated north 7 feet of 15th Street
abutting Lots 6 and 7 and said alley on the south, and also together with the
vacated east 7 feet of Avenue K abutting Lots 7 through 12 and that portion of
the vacated south 7 feet of 16th Street and that portion of the vacated north 7
feet of 15th Street on the west, all located in the City of Kearney, Buffalo
County, Nebraska (between 14th Street and 15th Street and Avenue K and Avenue
M) and to consider approval of Resolution No. 2004-115. Planning Commission
recommended approval.
The applicant is requesting approval for a new residential
duplex project located north of Hammer Park and west of Avenue M, east of
Avenue K. This project is a planned development featuring 25 duplex buildings,
two single-family buildings and possibly a community clubhouse, on one parcel
under condominium ownership. The project requires vacation of an alley
vacation and a portion of the street right-of-way, amendment of the land use
plan, rezoning, and Development Plan approval.
Vacation
The public alley between 15th Street and 16th
Street east of Avenue
K will be vacated as well as a seven-foot strip of 15th Street and 16th Street as they abut the alley, and the south seven-foot strip of 15th Street that was not previously vacated
abutting Lot 1618. These vacations help to
“square” the property up and provide more usable land for the development.
Land Use Map Amendment
The Land Use Map of the City of Kearney Comprehensive Development
Plan currently shows
this area as “Low Density Residential” and the applicant would like to amend
the map to “Medium Density Residential” to accommodate the duplex project.
Apparently, the neighbors do not want three or four-plex units but are fine
with duplexes. The proposed site development is dense but meets all code
requirements for open space, impervious cover, and lot area per dwelling unit.
Rezoning
The applicant is requesting rezoning from R-1 to R-2/PD.
The requested zoning will allow him to develop the land as a single parcel
under planned development procedures as a condominium ownership for persons age
55 and older if the plans are approved.
Development Plans
The Development Plan for this project shows 28 buildings on
roughly 5.79 acres. There are two single-family homes proposed along with 26
duplex buildings for a total of 54 living units. A community clubhouse is also
shown, but will only be built if the owners of the condominium association vote
to do so. Each living unit has a single-car garage and a second parking space
in the driveway leading to the garage. The internal streets are 25-foot wide
private drives. There is no off-street parking provided for the community
building. The buildings will be manufactured by Wardcraft Homes, Inc.
Architectural elevations are included in the attachments. The buildings are
grouped around central courtyards that will provide greenspace areas for the
residents. All maintenance of the exterior of the units, grass cutting, moving
snow, etc. will be handled through the condominium association. An eight-foot
hike/bike trail runs along the west side of Avenue M and provides ready access
to Hammer Park.
The site is densely developed. For comparison, duplexes on
individual lots would require 25 feet of rear yard and seven feet of side yard
so the units would be separated 50 feet rear to rear and 14 foot side to side.
This layout shows an average of 14 to 16 feet between units rear to rear and 10
to 13 feet side to side. This proposal is a condo development on a single
parcel and deviations from traditional setbacks are acceptable if approved by
Planning Commission and City Council. The question is how much deviation is
acceptable. The project is directly north of Hammer Park which provides ready access to a
large open space area for the residents of the duplexes that offsets the
density. Rhoda Brown, President of the Kearney Neighborhood Association
addressed the Planning Commission with high praise for the project. A letter
from Kearney Neighborhood Association expressing wholehearted acceptance and
support of the proposed project was also received by the City. Planning
Commission recommended approval of the project with one dissenting vote due to
the close proximity of the corner units to one another.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying presented this matter
to the Council. He represents Bob Swanson who is the owner of the north portion
of this development, and Marjorie Hitt who owns the south portion. Mr. Swanson
will develop the entire site. To accommodate this project, there will be a need
for paving involved and installation of public utilities. Mr. Swanson is
committed to southeast Kearney and to this project. He stated there
was an incredible reception by the Neighborhood Association for Mr. Swanson’s
project and from the adjoining land owners.
Paul Brungardt from Brungardt Engineering stated Phase I
will begin in the northeast corner of Avenue K by building the foundation for
the duplex units. Each Wardcraft house will be constructed and then brought in
to be set on the foundations. They will stick frame the garages out front of
each unit. There will be four different room layouts to choose from and the
units are handicap accessible. The full basements can be finished at the
owner’s request. Mr. Swanson will create a board group to determine if a
clubhouse will be built at this time. It will only be built if all are in
agreement; otherwise, that area will be green space. Phase II will be the
development of the property owned by Marjorie Hitt. Phase III will be finish
with a private drive, which will be maintained by the homeowners association.
The City is proposing a sanitary sewer connection district along 14th Street and 15th Street and Avenue K.
Council Member Kearney complimented Mr. Brungardt for his
work in getting the letter of endorsement from the Neighborhood Association.
All Council members were in agreement that this is a good use of this land.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Hadley seconded by Buschkoetter to close the
hearing and approve the proposed amendment to the Land Use Map of the City of
Kearney from “Low Density Residential” to “Medium Density Residential” property
described as Lots 1617 and 1618, Original Town of Kearney Junction now the City

that will provide an opportunity for new people to move into the neighborhood,
possibly first time homeowners.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT – WWC LICENSE LLC; NORTHEAST CORNER
OF BUFFALO COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS
Vice-President Kearney opened the public hearing on the Application
submitted by Peter Mauro of WWC License LLC (Applicant) and Buffalo County
Agricultural Association (Owner) for a Conditional Use Permit to locate a
126-foot monopole communications tower and radio equipment and pad on property
zoned “District AG, Agricultural District” and described as the North Half of
the Northwest Quarter of Section 31, Township 9 North, Range 15 West of the 6th
P.M., Buffalo County, Nebraska (northeast corner of Buffalo County
Fairgrounds). Planning Commission recommended approval.
The applicant is representing Western Wireless
Communications and is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to
locate a telecommunications tower at the northeast corner of Buffalo County
Fairgrounds. The property is currently zoned Agricultural. On September 11, 2001 the City Council approved a CUP for
a 126-foot tall monopole structure for Illinois PC Wireless at this location.
The footing was poured and the pole was delivered to the site but never
erected. Apparently, the holder of the original CUP went bankrupt or was bought
out by another company before the pole could be erected. Now a new company,
Western Wireless seeks approval to complete the project.
The Unified Land Development Ordinance (UDO) requires a CUP
for telecommunications towers and ranks the desirability of sites based on land
use, zoning and ownership of the property. Although this land is zoned Agricultural,
it is owned by the Buffalo County Fairgrounds Association. Public owned sites
rank high in the location criteria. The proposed 126-foot tall monopole is the
same height as the one approved in 2001. There will be six antenna panels
mounted on the tower.
City staff questioned whether all alternative sites,
including co-location sites have been researched and eliminated. There is an
existing communications tower located on fairground property next to this
site. The applicant explained to the Planning Commission that the existing
tower is owned by Viaero Wireless and they have antennas at the top of the pole
and another set below. The applicant’s engineers looked at the possibility of
extending the height of the Viaero tower but were unable to do so because of
the proximity to Kearney Municipal Airport. If they located their facilities
below the Viaero antennas there would not be sufficient height to meet their
broadcast and coverage requirements. If they located between the top two tiers
of antenna panels all the antennas would be too close together and would cause
RF interference. Therefore, the new additional tower is required. The new
tower will be constructed to allow for future co-location capabilities for two
carriers.
A small 10-foot by 20-foot pre-fab concrete equipment
building will be located on the ground adjacent to the tower. WWC will pay a
lease fee to the Fair Board for the 25-foot by 75-foot parcel of land that the
facilities occupy. There shall be no time limitations on this CUP.
Scott Fetcher from WWC License presented this matter to the
Council. He is with the consulting group that is representing Western Wireless
also doing business as “Cellular One”. They will be using the same foundation
and tower that currently exists at this location. There will be no significant
new construction on the site. The tower will contain three new technologies,
which will greatly improve the coverage in northeast Kearney. It will include TDMA, CDMA, and
GSM, which will allow digital coverage and wireless Internet to be accessed.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Clouse seconded by Hadley to close the hearing and
approve the Application submitted by Peter Mauro of WWC License LLC (Applicant)
and Buffalo County Agricultural Association (Owner) for a Conditional Use
Permit to locate a 126-foot monopole communications tower and radio equipment
and pad on property zoned “District AG, Agricultural District” and described as
the North Half of the Northwest Quarter of Section 31, Township 9 North, Range
15 West of the 6th P.M., Buffalo County, Nebraska (northeast corner of Buffalo
County Fairgrounds). Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Kearney, Clouse, Buschkoetter, Hadley.
Nay: None. Blankenship absent. Motion carried.
DEVELOPMENT PLAN – KEARNEY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER; 300
WEST 24TH STREET
Vice-President Kearney opened the public hearing on the Application
submitted by Kearney Performing Arts Center (Applicant) and Kearney Public
Schools (Owner) for Planned District Development Plan Approval for the
construction of a performing arts center/elementary school administration on
property zoned “District R-3, Urban Residential Multi-Family District (Medium
Density)” and described as a tract of land being part of the Northeast Quarter
of the Northeast Quarter of Section 2, Township 8 North, Range 16 West of the 6th
P.M., Buffalo County, Nebraska (300 West 24th Street) and to consider approval
of Resolution No. 2004-117. Planning Commission recommended approval with the
intent that the parties involved; private owners, the Public Schools, the City
and the Architect, discuss options in regards to alleviating parking problems
with the church and the private businesses on 23rd Street prior to the Council meeting.
The applicant is requesting approval of development plans
for the Kearney Performing Arts Center to be located at Central Elementary School, 300 West 24th Street. The project includes converting the existing auditorium into a
theater for performing arts with associated remodeling and expansion of
physical facilities such as the cafeteria, kitchen, gymnasium, etc. The
property is zoned R-3, but development plans are required due to the size of
the project.
Central Elementary
School has an
existing auditorium that was built in classical theater style in 1926. The
building was added to the National Historic Register in 2000. The room is
distinct and unique, a true asset to the Kearney Public Schools and the community. Because of the
vision of a handful of people, this facility will be upgraded and renovated to
become a premiere performing arts venue in the Midwest. More and more people have rallied to the cause and become
involved with the project. After four years of brainstorming, design work,
committee meetings, neighborhood meetings, and fundraising efforts, the dream
is becoming reality. Central Elementary School will continue to hold classes at this location in
addition to hosting the new theater for evening and weekend performances.
Adjustments were made to some of the
school facilities to accommodate the theater project. In summary fashion, the
project consists of the following elements:
·
An 11,987 square
foot addition to the existing building. 25,413 square feet of total area will
be affected by the renovations.
·
A remodeled
theater seating 900 persons.
·
Dressing rooms
and prep areas for actors.
·
New mechanical
systems throughout.
·
A remodeled
cafeteria.
·
A new kitchen.
·
275 off-street
parking spaces.
·
A new relocated
playground.
·
A new “entrance”
to the theater on the south side of the building with circular drop-off area.
·
Removal of the
existing boiler.
·
An improved
alley.
·
Landscaping and
irrigation.
·
A stormwater
management cell.
At the Planning Commission hearing
discussion was held on several components of the project. The design team
agreed to make the changes prior to the Council hearing. The plans before the
Council tonight have been revised accordingly. The issues of contention that
are now resolved included:
a)
The parking
stalls are shown as 9 feet by 20 feet. Parking spaces on the perimeter of the
lot that overhang landscaped areas can be reduced in length to 18 feet. Head
to head parking must remain 20 feet in length. By following these dimensions
the overall amount to concrete can be reduced resulting in another parking
strip on the east side of the parking lot.
b)
In R-3 zoning, a
25-foot landscape strip is required along any abutting street. This
requirement would mean 25 feet of landscaping along 22nd Street; however, since this is a planned development
district, deviations are allowable if the Planning Commission and City Council
approve them. Twenty-five feet of landscaping would result in the loss of 20
parking stalls. Staff suggests that the overall quality and quantity of
landscaping proposed for the project offsets the need for 25 feet of landscaped
area along 22nd Street. The proposed streetscape along 22nd Street is five feet four inches on school
property which, when added to the greenspace within the public right-of-way is
well landscaped. Planning Commission agreed that the benefit of the parking
outweighs the need for additional landscaping.
c)
Interior
landscaping is provided at nine percent as compared to the minimum requirement
of five percent.
d)
Impervious
coverage is 63 percent while code allows 55 percent; however, there is adequate
compensating open space located elsewhere on-site. The play areas to the west
of the parking lot are all open space.
e)
The existing
one-way alley will be improved to accommodate two-way traffic while maintaining
available parking along the rear side of the existing businesses.
f)
The primary
means of access to the drop-off zone and large parking area will be via 23rd Street from 2nd Avenue. 23rd
Street is the primary
means of access for school children delivery and for large trucks hauling stage
equipment. This entrance also provides access to the existing church and
retail office building south of the church. Representatives from the church as
well as the owner of the office building and some of the tenants were concerned
about the impact this development will have on the already scarce parking on
the north and south sides of 23rd Street.
The new development plan depicts the best possible compromise to meet the needs
of all parties and still provide functional access to the school and performing
arts center.
g)
225 parking
spaces are required and 275 spaces are provided. Overflow parking can be
accommodated on the residential street grid surrounding the school as the
streets are 36-feet wide to allow for parallel parking on both sides of the
street.
h)
Site drainage
appears to be split east-west with a high point in the parking lot. A stormwater detention cell is located near the
southwest corner of the parking lot. It would be desirable to capture as much
of the site drainage as possible in the detention cell. It appears a
significant amount of drainage is being directed to the alley to the east
according to the existing plans.
i)
The City
engineer will require stormwater detention computations for pre and post
development runoff, prepared by an engineer licensed in the State of Nebraska before any Building or Remodel
Permits are issued.
The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to the
design team reaching a workable solution regarding 23rd Street access and parking issues for the
retail offices and church. The final version of the development plan is the
result of collaboration between the design team, the school system, the City
and representatives from the church and office building. The development plan
is the best compromise that could be met between all parties and to our
knowledge all parties accept and support the plan as revised and submitted.
Mick Thompson from Alley Poyner Architecture presented this
matter to the Council. He has been in contact with Father Tom Hansen at St.
Luke’s Episcopal Church, Dr. Ken Anderson, the Superintendent of Kearney Public
Schools, and Mr. Karg, the owner of the land south of the Episcopal Church.
They have discussed the direction of traffic and parking for the Performing
Arts Center. At the present time, the agreement is to have the traffic on 23rd Street go one-way from east to west (as it
is currently). The parking will be diagonally. Originally they had requested
parallel parking on the north side of the Church to accommodate funerals;
however, Father Tom has since agreed that diagonal parking on the north side of
23rd Street will be adequate for them.
The concern about the width of that street was due to over
the road trucks and tractor trailers turning on that street. Normally, codes
would require 24 foot minimums for a drive isle for a vehicle of that size to
make a turn from 2nd
Avenue going north to
west on 23rd Street. Mr. Karg said that Brown’s trucks
get in there with no problem. Mr. Thompson stated that is acceptable to them
if the City agrees. The other question that arose was about having a median
between the east most parking stalls on the alley and the remaining portion of
the parking that will be created. This will remain much the same as it is
now. The plan is to have a 24 foot drive isle for the alley (slightly wider
than it is now) that allows for 90 degree parking and 2-way traffic for the
alley. The median controls the traffic from the alley and also creates a
drainage path, which will prevent a lot of water dumping into the alley as
requested by the City.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.

REZONING - NORTH OF 65TH STREET PLACE AND WEST OF AVENUE N
Vice-President Kearney opened the public hearing on the Application
submitted by Ron Ridgway (Applicant) for Three Tier Corporation (Owner) to
rezone from “District RR-1, Rural Residential District (Rural Standards)” to
“District R-1, Urban Residential Single Family District (Low Density)” property
described as Lot 1, Bel Air First Addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo
County, Nebraska (north of 65th Street Place and west of Avenue N). Planning
Commission recommended approval.
The applicant is requesting approval for a new residential
subdivision located west of Avenue N and north of 65th Street Place. There are 21 lots in the
proposed subdivision. The project requires rezoning, vacation, and subdivision
platting.
Vacation
Lots 1 thru 8 of Bel Air 1st Addition must be vacated to
accommodate replatting of this land as “Bel Air 2nd Addition.”
Rezoning
The applicant is requesting rezoning of one large lot from
RR-1 to R-1 to allow the large lot to be further subdivided into 14 smaller
lots. The large lot was platted as Lot 1 of Bel Air 1st Addition with the
intent of someone purchasing the lot for keeping of horses as well a
residence. Significant portions of the lot are within the 100-year flood plain
but an amendment has been filed with the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) to remove this area from the 100 year floodplain. If the amendment is
successful the houses can have full basements, otherwise they will be limited
to slab-on-grade or crawl-space with the lowest floor one foot above the
established base flood elevation.
Subdivision Plats
The Preliminary Plat and Final Plat consist of a 21-lot
subdivision to be known as Bel Air 2nd Addition. The Preliminary Plat was
approved by Planning Commission on June 18, 2004. The layout of the subdivision has
been revised since it was initially laid out as Bel Air 1st Addition. Now the
owners want to subdivide what was Lot 1 into 14 smaller lots, hence the
rezoning to R-1. A Public Works Plan has been submitted. Avenue N is an
arterial street and a 30-foot setback is shown as required by code. No
driveway access to Avenue N. An 8-foot wide hike/bike trail will be
constructed on the west side of Avenue N. No basements will be allowed if the
Floodplain Amendment is not approved by FEMA.
Ron Ridgway from Miller & Associates was present to
answer any questions by the Council.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Buschkoetter seconded by Kearney to close the
hearing and approve the Application submitted by Ron Ridgway (Applicant) for
Three Tier Corporation (Owner) to rezone from “District RR-1, Rural Residential
District (Rural Standards)” to “District R-1, Urban Residential Single Family
District (Low Density)” property described as Lot 1, Bel Air First Addition to
the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska (north of 65th Street Place and
west of Avenue N). Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Kearney, Hadley, Clouse, Buschkoetter.
Nay: None. Blankenship absent. Motion carried.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT – ALLTEL; 2815 WEST 31ST STREET
Vice-President Kearney opened the public hearing on the Application
submitted by Ralph Wyngarden for The Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph Company, dba
“Alltel Communications of Nebraska, Inc.” (Applicant and Owner) for a
Conditional Use Permit to co-locate and upgrade a wireless telecommunications
facility consisting of antenna changes on an existing tower owned by Alltel Communications of Nebraska, Inc. and to
expand the depth of the fenced compound by 30 feet to add a 11.5’ x 16’
equipment shelter and associated equipment on property zoned “District R-1, Urban
Residential Single-Family District (Low Density)” and described as a tract of
land located in the Northwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 34,
Township 9 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., Buffalo County, Nebraska (2815
West 31st Street).
The applicant is representing Alltel Communications and
requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to add telecommunications
equipment to an existing tower located at 2815 West 31st Street. The property is currently zoned R-1.
The Unified Land Development Ordinance (UDO) encourages
co-location of telecommunications facilities on existing towers to limit the
total number of towers erected in the community. As an incentive to encourage
co-location, the UDO allows expedited processing of Conditional Use Permits
(CUP) seeking approval of a co-location site on an existing tower. The Public
Works Director has the authority to expedite the CUP application directly to
City Council bypassing the Planning Commission to encourage co-location. This
is the case with this application.
The existing tower is 210 feet in height. Alltel proposes
to add six antennas to the existing tower and to construct an eleven foot five
inch by sixteen foot equipment building at the base of the tower. The existing
security fence will be extended to encompass the new building. There shall be
no time limitations on this CUP.
Kerri Norris from Faulk & Foster presented this matter
to the Council. She stated the request is to co-locate antennas on the 210 foot
guide tower that is located at 2185 31st Street.
In addition to adding their antennas, they would also be removing some antennas
between the 157 foot and 190 foot level that are no longer being used. The
proposal is to add a t-frame and install their antennas at the top of the
tower. There is currently an antenna at the top of the tower, which is not
being used and will also be removed. A lightening rod will be added in its
place, which will extend from the top up to the 229 foot level, which is the
height of the existing antenna. The overall height of the tower will not
change.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Kearney seconded by Clouse to close the hearing and
approve the Application submitted by Ralph Wyngarden for The Lincoln Telephone
and Telegraph Company, dba “Alltel Communications of Nebraska, Inc.” (Applicant
and Owner) for a Conditional Use Permit to co-locate and upgrade a wireless
telecommunications facility consisting of antenna changes on an existing tower
owned by Alltel Communications of Nebraska, Inc.

West 31st Street). Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Kearney, Clouse, Buschkoetter, Hadley.
Nay: None. Blankenship absent. Motion carried.
BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD OF REDEVELOPMENT AREA #7
Vice-President Kearney opened the public hearing on the declaration
of an area referred to as Redevelopment Area #7 to be blighted and substandard
and in need of redevelopment and described as follows: Beginning at the
intersection of the south line of 11th Street and the east line of Avenue M,
thence north along said east line to its intersection with the north line of 16th
Street, thence west along said north line to its intersection with the west
line of Avenue I, thence north along said west line to its intersection with
the south line of South Railroad Street, thence southeasterly along said south
line to its intersection with the east line of Avenue M, thence north along
said east line to its intersection with the centerline of the abandoned
Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way, thence southeasterly
along said centerline to its intersection with the extended east line of Avenue
Q, thence north along said east line to its intersection with the north line of
the abandoned Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad right-of-way (also the
corporate limit line), thence southeasterly along said north line to its
intersection with the eastern corporate limit line, thence continuing along
said eastern corporate limit line, generally in a southern direction to its
intersection with the southern corporate limit line at approximately the south
line of 11th Street, thence west along said south corporate limit line to its
intersection with the east line of Avenue M, also the point of beginning, all
located in the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska and to consider
approval of Resolution No. 2004-118. Planning Commission recommended approval.
The Kearney Area Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) has
been working with Urban Planning Consultants, Hanna:Keelan Associates, on a
blight study and redevelopment plan for an area in southeast Kearney known as Area #7. This area
includes land on the east side of Avenue M south of the railroad tracks to 11th
Street and an east west area south of the railroad tracks extending east from
Avenue I and west from the city limits south to 16th Street.
The CRA is requesting a review of the Blight Study and
Redevelopment Plan for this area. The Planning Commission has reviewed the
study and the Redevelopment Plan and made a recommendation to accept the study
and approve the plan. The Redevelopment Plan is in conformance with the Future
Land Use Map of the City of Kearney Comprehensive Development Plan. The proposed zoning categories depicted on the
Redevelopment Plan are based on the direction provided in the comp plan and are
suggested zoning alternatives. No property within the Redevelopment Area will
be rezoned as a result of the Planning Commission or City Council action on
this Redevelopment Plan. The zoning changes will take place in the future as parcels
within the Redevelopment Area are developed. The plan paints a picture of what
the area might ultimately look like if the zoning recommendations are
followed. This allows for better planning for infrastructure such as sanitary
sewer, municipal water, storm drainage, public streets, alleys and sidewalks.
In comparing the existing zoning to the changes proposed in
the Redevelopment Plan, there is an emphasis on replacing industrial zoned
property with residential property and some Urban Corridor commercial zoning
near the railroad tracks. The residential zoning ranges from primarily R-1
with some R-2 and two large parcels shown as R-3.
Barry Sherman, CRA Executive Director, presented this matter
to the Council. The CRA operates under the Community Development Act, which was
set up by the Legislature many years ago and governed by Chapter 18, Articles
2101-2154. CRA’s job is to identify areas, when needed, as blighted and
substandard and also submit a redevelopment plan for that area. Area #7 is the
first area that has been designated as such in Kearney since 1997. Cities, the
size of Kearney, are allowed to declare up to 35 percent as blighted. This
would bring Kearney up to 16.4 percent, which is less than half that amount.
Area #7 is located in one of the oldest areas of Kearney. In contrast to the
rest of Kearney, this area has not seen significant development for many
years.
When identifying this area as a possible candidate for this
blighted and substandard study, Hanna:Keelan Associates in Lincoln, were
contacted as consultants because they do this type of study. They prepared the
written recommendation. The study was conducted on an area and did it in a
field research manner by physically traveling throughout the area and examining
various properties. It was not a random sampling type of study.
The study is broken down into blighted and substandard
factors. The State Statutes states four main substandard factors and 12
blighted factors. All four substandard factors were found in Area #7. The age
of the underground infrastructure (water and sewer) ranged between 60-90 years
old. The area located east of Avenue M is not currently provided with municipal
water and sewer service. Approximately 13 single-family dwellings and
businesses have individual water wells and septic systems although they are
located within the corporate limits of the City of Kearney. Avenue M has a
water culvert, which effectively cuts off the area east of Avenue M, the major
arterial street corridor to the City of Kearney, and also contains the main
storm sewer to adjacent sewer connection to the west of this street corridor.
More than 75 percent of Area #7 does not currently have access to public
utilities.
The existence of conditions that endanger life or property
by fire and other causes are strongly present throughout Area #7. An estimated
17 structures have substandard porches, steps, and fire escapes. Any further development
in the area would require fire hydrants. Forty percent of the structures are
substandard or deficient.
Regarding the blighted factors, there were eight that were
strongly present, two that were reasonably present, and two that were not
factors. The existence of the ineffective and inadequate street layouts,
gravel and hard surface streets, and private gravel streets in fair and poor
condition contribute to this determination. Twenty-eight parcels on frontage
streets are in fair to poor condition and presence of faulty lot layout in
relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness is strongly present.
Irregular tracts, undersized and oversized lot and the need for updating are
strongly present. Unsanitary and unsafe conditions are present throughout the
redevelopment area including substandard structures, age of structures, and
advanced age of underground utility mains. Deteriorations of site or other
major improvements are strongly present. The status of a high degree of
ownership status complicated the ability to assemble large plots of land for
major redevelopment projects. Improper subdivision or obsolete platting is
present. Large tracts of land exist on the east side of Avenue M and lots are
only accessible by private drives. One of the required factors is the estimated
average age of residential structures within the redevelopment area exceeds 40
years. One of the factors of state law indicates that if over half of the area
has been within the City limits and still remains unimproved for 40 years that
is also a factor, although not stated in this report. In the case of Area #7,
63 percent meets this factor.
Mr. Sherman concluded from this report that a considerable
amount of the blighted and substandard conditions are not necessarily a
reflection on property owners, but due to conditions of either aging or
non-existing infrastructure, poor platting, or a lack of access. The high cost
of developing infrastructure has discouraged development. This report will be
followed up in a month with a development plan, but it does not mean that
present owners will not be forced to make any changes or sell any property if
they are happy with their present situation.
Council Member Kearney asked about the “but for” test before
receiving any funding for any new project. Mr. Sherman responded that any
project that would come forward would need to have a proposal brought to the
CRA Board and eventually before the Council. The “but for” assistance in the
form of “TIF” (tax increment financing) requires the project meet the economic
impact requirements to the area and the community at large. Other criteria
also need to be met.
Director of Utilities Kirk Stocker stated that Avenue M
storm sewer makes it very difficult to extend sanitary sewer east. It can be
extended for a short distance, but the expense of getting under the storm sewer
is very cost prohibitive. Each location would have to be considered on its
own. Ideally, it would be much easier if a sewer line could be run from 11th Street
north to service the area. Going from 11th Street presents right-of-way
difficulties. Later on the agenda are requests for the Council to approve
water and sewer connection districts that will go through this area on 18th
Street, extended east to Avenue M, and then go north and serve Redevelopment
Area #3 bordering Area #7. These connection districts would fall within the
time frame of the redevelopment program.
Rhoda Brown, President of the Neighborhood Association, stated
that when Mr. Sherman brought this project to her, she was hesitant at first.
After talking to people in that area, she now realizes that with the
development of the 55 and over housing, they are almost at the end of their
housing area in southeast Kearney. She believes this redevelopment would be an
asset so they can go all the way to the City limits. The sewer and water would
allow people to build those single-family dwellings that they want to see in
their area.
Council Member Kearney asked with the connection districts
that will be created in that area, would present owners be forced to connect

ORDINANCE NO. 7076 – VACATE PORTION OF SIXTH STREET ADDITION AND PORTION OF A. COLLIN’S
SUBDIVISION
Regular Agenda Items 9 and 10 were discussed together but
voted on separately.
The applicant is requesting approval of a fourteen-lot
subdivision to be known as “Kreutz Addition” located east of 329 Central Avenue. This property is zoned M-1,
Limited Industrial. This subdivision will extend 4th Street to the east from Central Avenue providing a continuous collector street serving area
traffic east and west. Lots are located on the north and south side of 4th Street with one large lot extending south
from Sixth Street. The large lot will take access
from Sixth Street and will be used to expand Sixth
Street Storage, an existing self-storage facility. Currently, there are no
City services available in the 4th Street
corridor or the Landon
Street corridor. The
Utilities Department plans to perform a feasibility study and expense estimate
for the installation of these services in the future. Until City services are
available, future development proposals will be evaluated on a case-by-case
basis investigating the need for services along the preferred route. All other
required information is shown on the Preliminary and Final Plat. The
Preliminary Plat was approved by Planning Commission on June 18, 2004.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying presented this matter
to the Council. He represents Judy Ann Kreutz family and Mark Benjamin’s
company involving the portion of the property that he owns. This piece of
property is a linchpin for the future development and expansion of southeast Kearney because this is located at the
intersection of 4th
Street and Central Avenue. This is the first 4-way
intersection coming into Kearney off of the Interstate. After much
discussion at the Planning Commission about the issues and concerns that the
City had, a satisfactory conclusion for all has been reached. In order to make
things happen, a lot will be vacated in Sixth Street Addition and ultimately
they will ask for the final plat of Kreutz Addition.

ORDINANCE NO. 7077 – VACATE EASEMENT IN RAPP ADDITION
The applicant is requesting vacation of an existing utility
easement described as the south ten feet of the utility easement on Lot 16, Block 3, Rapp Addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska. When the house was constructed on
this lot, the location of the footings encroached into the previously described
utility easement. Although Title Insurance Companies could grant clear title
to the property, the contractor and developer have agreed it would be best to
address this encumbrance now. There are no active utilities in the easement
and the utility companies have signed a consent form to vacate the easement.
Pat Moore, 32 Mustang Trail, presented this matter to the
Council. He stated that he encroached into an easement when building on some
property. Since there are no utilities in the easement at this time, the City
does not see that there will be a need for it because 13th Avenue has been extended to the south
where there is an easement at the south end. Mr. Moore requested that the
easement be vacated. Director of Public Works Rod Wiederspan stated that all
the necessary signatures from the other utilities showing they will not need
that easement in the future have been obtained. Mr. Wiederspan stated it is
easier to vacate the easement than to go to the Board of Adjustment for the
encroachment. This request is acceptable to the City.
Council Member Clouse introduced Ordinance No. 7077, being
Subsection 12 of Agenda Item VI to vacate the south 10.0 foot platted utility easement
located on Lot 16, Block 3, Rapp Addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo
County, Nebraska (911 13th Avenue), and moved that the statutory rules
requiring ordinances to be read by title on three different days be suspended
and said ordinances be considered for passage on the same day upon reading by
number only, and then placed on final passage and that the City Clerk be
permitted to call out the number of the ordinance on its first reading and then
upon its final passage. Council Member Hadley seconded the motion to suspend
the rules. Vice-President of the Council asked for discussion or if anyone in
the audience was interested in the ordinance. No one responded. Clerk called
the roll which resulted as follows: Aye: Kearney, Buschkoetter, Hadley, Clouse. Nay: None. Blankenship absent. Motion
to suspend the rules having been concurred in by three-fourths of the City
Council, said motion was declared passed and adopted. City Clerk read

ORDINANCE NO. 7078 – VACATE SETBACK IN SKIVIEW ESTATES
FOURTH
The applicant is requesting vacation of an existing platted
front setback line for Lot 7, Skiview Estates 4th, in a
residential subdivision. The property is zoned R-1 and the minimum setback required
by Code is 25 feet, but the developer platted a 30-foot front setback on these
lots. There are six lots arranged around a cul-de-sac with the 30-foot platted
setback.
The lot owners worked with the City Building and
Zoning Division and their draftsman to position the house on the irregular
shaped lot so that it would meet all required setbacks. A Building Permit was
issued and the basement was excavated. As the foundation contractor was making
preparations to pour the footings he noticed that the building location was
encroaching into the required rear yard. Measurements were checked and the
property pins were verified. Now it seems that the house will not fit on the
site without vacating the platted front setback or reducing the size of the house.
If vacated, the setback line will become the default distance for the zoning
district at 25 feet. The depth of the house actually only requires about 2.5
feet to “fit” on the lot.
The Planning Commission and City Council have vacated
platted setbacks in the past. In this case, the houses are arranged around a
cul-de-sac instead of in a consistent line as on a straight section of street
block. Therefore, the 2.5-foot difference in setback will be virtually
unnoticeable from the street.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying presented this matter
to the Council. The request to vacate this platted setback line in order to
comply with the zoning regulation to hold a 25 foot building setback line so
this structure can be built on this particular lot. Director of Public Works
stated this setback was 30 foot, which exceeds the 25-foot setback the City
requires. The developer had this as the setback at the time of platting and no
one in the neighborhood is objecting to this one house moving closer. This is
easier than asking the Board of Adjustment for a variance.
Council Member Buschkoetter introduced Ordinance No. 7078,
being Subsection 13 of Agenda Item VI to vacate the 30.0 foot platted building
setback located on Lot 7, Skiview Estates Fourth, an Addition to the City of
Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska (5207 Avenue C Place), and moved that the
statutory rules requiring ordinances to be read by title on three different
days be suspended and said ordinances be considered for passage on the same day
upon reading by number only, and then placed on final passage and that the City
Clerk be permitted to call out the number of the ordinance on its first reading
and then upon its final passage. Council Member Kearney seconded the motion to
suspend the rules. Vice-President of the Council asked for discussion or if
anyone in the audience was interested in the ordinance. No one responded.
Clerk called the roll which resulted as follows: Aye: Kearney, Clouse, Buschkoetter, Hadley. Nay:
None. Blankenship absent. Motion to suspend the rules having been concurred
in by three-fourths of the City Council, said motion was declared passed and
adopted. City Clerk read Ordinance No. 7078 by number. Roll call of those in
favor of the passage of said ordinance on the first reading resulted as
follows: Aye: Kearney, Clouse, Buschkoetter, Hadley. Nay: None. Blankenship

ORDINANCE NO. 7079 – WATER CONNECTION DISTRICT 2004-1
Regular Agenda Items 15 through 34 were discussed and voted
on together.
Director of Utilities Kirk Stocker presented this matter to
the Council. In this year’s budget the City of Kearney included funds to construct several water and sewer
connection districts in Southeast
Kearney. Primarily
the area east of Avenue M between 20th Street and 22nd
Street would be
served with the majority of these districts. This area has been without
service for many years because the Avenue M storm sewer, constructed in 1972,
“blocked” sanitary sewer from being extended east into the area. Several years
ago the Utilities Department and the City Engineer, Miller and Associates,
began investigating possibilities to serve the area. It was found that
sanitary sewer could be constructed east from Avenue M at what would be 18th Street because the sanitary sewer main at
that location is at an elevation below the storm sewer. Because several
property owners lie within the proposed district boundaries and because most of
those owners cannot commit to a water or sanitary sewer assessment, connection
districts are being proposed. Connection fees levied from a connection
district are not a lien on the property, no annual payment is due and interest
does not accrue. However, when a property connects to the water and sewer the
property owner pays 100% of the connection fee levied for that property.
Other districts being proposed at this time are water and
sewer connection districts in Avenue D from 11th Street to 13th
Street. Also,
developers have requested water sewer and paving districts in 14th Street and 15th Street from Avenue K to Avenue M and for Avenue K from 14th Street to 15th Street. Additionally, a property owner has requested that a
paving district be created for 15th Street
from Avenue H to Avenue I.
Sewer Connection District No. 2004-1 is proposed in an
easement in what would be 18th Street
from Avenue M to Avenue O. Sewer Connection District No. 2004-2 is proposed in
vacated Avenue O and in platted Avenue O from 18th Street to just north of 22nd Street. Sewer Connection District No. 2004-3 and Water Connection
District No. 2004-1 are proposed in 20th Street from Avenue O to Avenue M. Sewer Connection District No.
2004-4 and Water Connection District No. 2004-2 are proposed for Avenue N from 20th Street to just north of 22nd Street. Sewer Connection District No.
2004-5 is proposed in 21st
Street from Avenue N
to Avenue M. Sewer Connection District No. 2004-6 is proposed in 22nd Street from Avenue N to Avenue M. Water
Connection District No. 2004-3 is proposed in Avenue O from 20th Street to 22nd Street. Sewer Connection District No. 2004-7 and Water Connection
District No. 2004-4 are proposed in Avenue D from 11th Street to 13th Street.
The following districts have been requested by a developer,
Paving District No. 2004-886, Water District No. 2004-533 and Sewer District
No. 2004-575 are proposed in Avenue K from 14th Street to 15th Street; Paving
District No. 2004-887, Water District No.2004-534 and Sewer District No.
2004-476 are proposed in 14th Street from Avenue K to Avenue M and Paving
District No. 2004-888 and Sewer District No. 2004-477 in 15th Street from
Avenue K to Avenue M.
Also, a property owner has requested that the Council create
Paving District No, 2004-889 for 15th Street from Avenue H to Avenue I.
The Utilities Department has
included funds in this year’s budget for all of the water and sewer districts
proposed. The funds to pay for the construction of these projects have been
carried over and included in the budget for 2004-2005 also. Additionally, the
Utilities Department will use the cost of the proposed sewer projects as grant
match to obtain the $161,335.00 balance of the EPA Grant awarded to the City in
1996 for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement Project. The grant balance
will not be used to reduce the cost of the assessments and connection fees but
instead will be placed in the sewer fund to benefit the sewer ratepayers of the
City.
The Public Works Department has budgeted funds for the cost
of miscellaneous paving districts that arise throughout the year, for which the
proposed paving districts would be included.
