KEARNEY EVENT CENTER LIQUOR
LICENSE
Mayor Blankenship opened the
public hearing on the application for a Class “C” (Beer, Wine and Distilled
Spirits – On and Off Sale) Liquor License submitted by COMPASS OF KEARNEY LLC, dba
“Kearney Event Center” located at 609 Platte Road, the application for
Corporate Manager for Michelle Kay, and to consider approval of Resolution
No. 2004-188.
Michelle Kay, 3402 Avenue I, and
Jeff Kosoff, manager of the Event Center, presented this matter to the Council.
Council member Buschkoetter asked if any policies have changed from those of
the arena relative to the liquor license? Ms. Kay responded they have a
wristband policy and will have a two-drink maximum, which have been in
place. The change they made was to move the liquor from the concession
stands to places on the opposite ends to help control the sale of
alcohol. Mr. Kosoff stated that they will also stop the sale of alcohol
earlier than in the past. At hockey games specifically, they will stop
sales a few minutes into the third period in addition to events where the
majority of the crowd is underage. Corporately, they take their alcohol
sale responsibility very seriously. They have this type of facility all over
the country and it is important to them to maintain the best and tightest
controls possible.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Galen Hadley seconded by
Randy Bushkoetter to close the hearing and approve the application for a Class

REZONE EXTENDING LANDON STREET
EAST AND SOUTH OF LANDON STREET WHEN EXTENDED
Public Hearings 3, 4, and 5 were discussed
together but voted on separately.
Mayor Blankenship opened the
public hearing on the Application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for Eulah
M. and Alexander Gangwish (Owner) to rezone from “District AG, Agricultural
District” to “District M-1, Limited Industrial District” property described as
a tract of land being part of Government Lot 2 and Government Lot 3 and
accretions located in Section 12, Township 8 North, Range 16 West of the 6th
P.M., containing 2.70 acres, more or less, Buffalo County, Nebraska (extending
Landon Street east and south of Landon Street when extended). Planning
Commission recommended approval.
Eulah and Alexander Gangwish are
requesting approval for a subdivision located east of the current terminus of
Landon Street and south of Landon Street extended east. The project
requires rezoning, vacation, annexation and subdivision platting.
Rezoning
The applicant is requesting
rezoning from Agricultural District to District M-1, Limited Industrial
District for 2.70 acres of the 5.46-acre total. The balance of the land
at 2.76-acres is already zoned M-1. The requested rezoning would make the
zoning and land use consistent in this area. The majority of the
surrounding land is also zoned M-1 or Ag. The City anticipates future
light industrial uses in this area.
Vacation
Lot 1, Lowenberg Subdivision was
previously platted as an easement to provide access to this area. The
applicant proposes to vacate this lot and dedicate it as Landon Street.
Annexation
With the extension and platting
of Landon Street this subdivision is contiguous to the corporate limits and
therefore should be annexed and included in the corporate boundary of the City
of Kearney.
Subdivision Plats
The Preliminary Plat and Final
Plat consist of a four-lot subdivision on 5.46 acres to be known as Gangwish
Addition. The Preliminary Plat was approved by Planning Commission on
September 17, 2004. The lots are fairly narrow, but deep, about 100 feet
x 360 to 410 feet. A Subdivision Agreement has been prepared to protect
the rights of the Owner and the City of Kearney. The agreement states
that paving is not required at this time, but when water, sewer and paving
districts are created in the future, Owner agrees not to protest the districts.
Owner further agrees to connect to the existing sanitary sewer at the south
terminus of Avenue D as constructed in Sixth Street Addition. This sewer
is deep enough to use Environment One grinder pumps and small diameter force
main piping to serve the property. Septic tanks will not be
allowed. The Utilities Department must approve the grinder pump
equipment, system requirements and installation plans prior to installation.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo
Surveying presented this matter to the Council. This project will accomplish
four things: zoning for an anchor tract of land, a simple vacation of
small strip of land that is presently used as an easement, (known as Lot 1 of Lowenberg
Subdivision), an agreement for annexation for final plat approval on four lots,
with a portion of the 5.46 acres being dedicated as an extension of Landon
Street, and a subdivision agreement that was prepared by the City that the
applicants have signed and is ready for signatures for filing with the final
plat.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Buschkoetter seconded by
Blankenship to close the hearing and approve the Application submitted by Mitch
Humphrey (Applicant) for Eulah M. and Alexander Gangwish (Owner) to rezone from
“District AG, Agricultural District” to “District M-1, Limited Industrial
District” property described as a tract of land being part of Government Lot 2
and Government Lot 3 and accretions located in Section 12, Township 8 North,
Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., containing 2.70 acres, more or less, Buffalo
County, Nebraska (extending Landon Street east and south of Landon Street when
extended). Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Blankenship,
Buschkoetter, Hadley, Kearney. Nay: None. Clouse absent.
Motion carried.

31st Street). Planning Commission recommended approval.
Nebraska National Bank is
requesting rezoning of the two lots west of the existing bank property – Lots 8
and 9 of Block 14, Perkins and Harford’s Addition. The rezoning request
is from District R-2 to District UC, Mixed-Use Urban Corridor. This
rezoning request is in conformance with the Land Use Map of the City of Kearney
Comprehensive Development Plan. “Urban Corridor” land use extends west
from 2nd Avenue for a depth of three lots to 3rd Avenue in this area of the
City. Nebraska National Bank intends to acquire and rezone the last
remaining lot that abuts 3rd Avenue in the future.
The purpose of this rezoning
request is for expansion of the Nebraska National Bank property. A
building addition and additional parking are proposed. The existing
residential dwellings will be removed from the two lots.
Brad Hennick, Vice President
Nebraska National Bank, was present to answer any questions from the Council

REZONE SOUTH PART OF 1311 AVENUE M
Mayor Blankenship opened the public
hearing on the Application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for Susan
Slater (Owner) to rezone from “District M-1, Limited Industrial District” to
“District R-1, Urban Residential Single-Family District (Low Density)” property
described as a tract of land being part of Lot 1, Rainbow Acres Addition, an
addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska, containing 4.35
acres, more or less (south part of 1311 Avenue M). Planning Commission
recommended approval.
Susan Slater is requesting
rezoning of 4.35 acres more or less, at the south part of a subdivision known
as Rainbow Acres Addition, 1311 Avenue M. The rezoning request is from
District M-1 to District R-1, Urban Single-Family District. This rezoning
request is in conformance with the Land Use Map of the City of Kearney
Comprehensive Development Plan which shows this property as “Mixed Use
1.” There is an existing residence and several outbuildings on the north
part of this tract of land.
The purpose of this rezoning
request is to prepare the property for an additional home site. A Minor
Subdivision will be used to split a lot from the balance of the property.
The zoning of the property must be amended since M-1 zoning does not allow new
residential construction. The north part of Rainbow Acres was previously
zoned to R-1, and now the entire subdivision will be similarly zoned.
Connection to city services is required. The driveway to the existing
residence from Avenue M is aligned with 13th Street if, in the future, 13th Street
is extended east. Access from Avenue M to the existing residence and the
proposed residence shall be by shared driveway, or in the future, if 13th
Street is extended east, access from the proposed residence shall be from 13th
Street. No access from Avenue M will be allowed other than the existing
driveway to minimize the number of curb cuts on the arterial street

GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL – AMENDED
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Council member Hadley vacated his
chair and abstained from discussion and voting on this matter for the reason he
is the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Mayor Blankenship opened the
public hearing on the Application submitted by Good Samaritan Hospital
(Applicant and Owner) for an Amended Planned District Development Plan Approval
for site development for master campus plan on property zoned “District C-O/PD,
Office District/Planned Development Overlay District” and described as all of
Blocks 1, 2 and 3, Good Samaritan 2nd Subdivision; all of Lots 4, 5, 7, 8, 9
and 12, Gillett’s Subdivision; all of Lots 3, 4, 9, 10, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27,
Cortlandt Place; Lot 3 except the north 20 feet and all of Lots 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, Bergt
& Keiss Subdivision; the west 34.3 feet of the south 60 feet of Lot 567,
the north 70 feet of Lot 566, and all of Lots 509, 560, 561, and 568, Southwest
Quarter School Section Addition; all of Lots 13, 14, and the north 70 feet of
Lots 16, 17, and 18, Cottage Place; all of Lots 5 and 6, Ragains Subdivision;
all of Lot 16, the south 165 feet of Lot 25 and part of Lot 2, Northwest
Quarter School Section Addition, all in the City of Kearney, Buffalo County,
Nebraska (10 East 31st Street) and to consider approval of Resolution No.
2004-191. Planning Commission recommended approval.
Good Samaritan Hospital is
requesting approval of revisions to Development Plans that were previously
submitted and approved by Planning Commission and City Council for the recent
expansion of the hospital campus. Some revisions have occurred as the
result of circumstances encountered during construction. The originally
approved Landscape Plan has been modified as well to reflect the “as-built”
conditions that exist. The property is zoned C-0/PD.
This is basically a “house
keeping’ issue as the physical improvements are already completed on the site,
and the plans need to be revised to reflect any modifications that occurred in
the field. This way the city offices will have accurate plans of the
hospital expansion project. The Good Samaritan Campus has grown to
encompass about 49 acres. Mr. Volz will review the changes on the amended
plans that have occurred since the original Development Plans were approved.
John Gardner, 3315 20th Avenue,
from Good Samaritan Hospital presented this matter to the Council. This is a
clean up from the previous plan use development because they acquired some
additional properties following their original approval. These additions
will increase their parking capacity and allow some modification in the shape
of their Cancer Center. Mr. Gardner stated this project is almost
complete.
Denny Houska, 4203 19th Avenue,
was not opposed to the amended development plans. He voiced a concern on the
marking o the streets to allow for better traffic flow. Director of Public
Works stated this should be completed in the near future.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Blankenship seconded by
Kearney to close the hearing and approve the Application submitted by Good Samaritan

GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL – MASTER
SIGN PLAN
Council member Hadley vacated his
chair and abstained from discussion and voting on this matter for the reason he
is the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Mayor Blankenship opened the
public hearing on the Application submitted by Good Samaritan Hospital
(Applicant and Owner) for Sign Master Plan Approval for the size, location and
design of all signs on property zoned “District C-O/PD, Office District/Planned
Development Overlay District” and described as all of Blocks 1, 2 and 3, Good

16, the south 165 feet of Lot 25 and part of Lot 2, Northwest Quarter School
Section Addition, all in the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska (10 East
31st Street) and to consider approval of Resolution No. 2004-192. Planning
Commission recommended approval noting that the location of all signs comply
with the Sign Ordinances for sign placement along the street right-of-way and
vision clearance.
Good Samaritan Hospital is
requesting approval of a Master Plan for signage on the Good Samaritan Hospital
campus. With the recent expansion project the campus has grown to eight
buildings and approximately 49 acres. A consistent and coordinated system
of signs is very important for patients and visitors finding their way through
the campus. On the other hand, too many signs can be confusing and
detract from the nicely landscaped grounds surrounding the streets, drives and
parking areas.
Planning Staff has requested Mr. Volz
to put together an executive summary and justification study for the signage
plan as well as dimensions that depict the overall size of each type of sign,
and a Master Plan showing the location of each sign. This information
will supplement the information in your packets and will be available by Mr. Volz’s
presentation at the City Council meeting.
The Planning Commission
recommended approval of the signage master plan noting that the location of all
signs shall comply with the Sign Ordinance Chapter of the Unified Land
Development Ordinance for sign placement along the street right-of-way and
vision clearance.
John Gardner from Good Samaritan
Hospital presented this matter to the Council. They are willing to work with
the City staff to make sure that placement is where it needs to be in order not
to block visibility. The design of the signs will not change; there will
just be more of them. He stated that discussion has already been started
with City staff regarding placement.
Mayor Blankenship stated one of
the interesting things in the information packet was it shows a variety of
routes to the various facilities. Looking at the plan from an aerial
view, there is definitely a need for signs to direct people around the campus.
Director of Public Works stated that this plan will comply with the sign
ordinance regarding location; however, it will exceed the number of signs
allowed by the ordinance because of the size of the campus. This is the
reason the plan had to go through Planning Commission and Council for
approval. Council member Buschkoetter commented that he believed the
extra signs are required to direct the large amount of traffic expected in that
area.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Kearney seconded by
Buschkoetter to close the hearing and approve the Application submitted by Good
Samaritan Hospital (Applicant and Owner) for Sign Master Plan Approval for the
size, location and design of all signs on property zoned “District C-O/PD,
Office District/Planned Development Overlay District” and described as all of

REZONING – SOUTH OF 15TH STREET
AND NORTH OF 14TH STREET BETWEEN AVENUE I AND AVENUE K
Public Hearings 10 and 11 were
discussed together but voted on separately.
Mayor Blankenship opened the
public hearing on the Application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for
William and Helen H. Kinkaid (Owner) to rezone from “District R-1, Urban
Residential Single-Family District (Low Density)” to “District R-2/PD, Urban
Residential Mixed-Density District/Planned Development Overlay District”
property described as Lot 1616, Original Town of Kearney Junction now the City
of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska, together with the vacated south 7 feet of
15th Street, together with the vacated north 7 feet of 14th Street, together
with the vacated west 7 feet of Avenue K, and together with the vacated east 7
feet of Avenue I (south of 15th Street and north of 14th Street between Avenue
I and Avenue K). Planning Commission recommended approval.
Mitch Humphrey representing the
applicants is requesting approval for another phase of residential duplexes
located between Avenue I and Avenue K and between 14th Street and 15th Street.
This project is another Planned Development by Bob Swanson featuring ten duplex
buildings and two single-family buildings. All residences are on one
common parcel under condominium ownership. You will recall Phase 1 from a
few months ago located next to Hammer Park. The project requires street
vacation, rezoning, and Development Plan approval.
Vacation
The east seven feet of Avenue I
from the north line to the south line of vacated 15th Street is being requested
for vacation. Seven feet of Avenue I was previously vacated to the north
of this site and all of Avenue I has been vacated to the south. The
proposed vacation will add more land area for the development of the project.
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 retired age persons age 55 and older if the plans are
approved.
Development Plans
The Development Plan for this
project shows 12 buildings on roughly 2.12 acres. There are two
single-family homes proposed along with 10 duplex buildings for a total of 22
living units. The site layout and the buildings are based on the same approach
as Phase 1 of the project. 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. The buildings will be
manufactured by Wardcraft Homes, Inc. Architectural elevations are the
same as in Phase 1. The buildings are grouped around a central courtyard
that will provide a greenspace area for the residents. All maintenance of
the exterior of the units, grass cutting, moving snow, etc. will be taken care
of through the condominium association.
As in Phase 1, staff believes the
site is too densely developed. Some of the Planning Commissioners
agreed. In many cases the neighbors will be the best judge of the density
issue. The neighbors were very receptive to Phase 1 so we can only assume
that more of the same will draw the same reaction of approval. It is
their neighborhood and if they are comfortable with the density, so be
it. A precedent has been set with Phase 1.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo
Surveying presented this matter to the Council. This site is located westerly
and southerly of a site that was brought before the Council a few months ago.
This is the second phase of this four phase project. Bob and Norma
Swanson have shown a great deal of passion for this project and have worked
very hard to make the neighbors happy with this, and are all in agreement at
this time.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.

Buschkoetter to close the hearing and approve the Application submitted by

FINAL PLAT – TALMADGE CENTER
Council member Kearney vacated
his chair and abstained from discussion and voting on this matter for the
reason he manages the Kearney State Bank.
Mayor Blankenship opened for
discussion the application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for Kearney
State Bank and Trust Company, Personal Representative of the Betty J. Connell
Estate (Owner) for final plat approval of “TALMADGE CENTER” for a tract of land
described as Government Lot 8 in the Southwest Quarter of Section 12, Township
8 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., Buffalo County, Nebraska (south of Talmadge
Street and Country Inn Suites) and to consider approval of Resolution No.
2004-199. Planning Commission recommended approval noting that the size of the
bulb in the cul-de-sac be resolved by City staff and the applicant prior to
being presented to Council and that the curb cuts on Talmadge Street be
addressed at the time of development.
Mitch Humphrey representing the
applicant is requesting approval of a three-lot subdivision located on the
south side of Talmadge Street next to the NPPD substation. The land area
of the subdivision is 4.61 acres and it is zoned IC-MU, Commercial A.
There is an existing metal building on the property that will be removed.
The Preliminary Plat and Final
Plat of Talmadge Center consist of three lots, two with frontage on Talmadge
Street and one lot behind that takes access from a 370-foot long cul-de-sac
named 1st Avenue Place. The Preliminary Plat was approved by
Planning Commission on September 17, 2004. These lots will be developed
for commercial purposes. Curb cuts will be allowed on Talmadge Street and
the lots can take access from the cul-de-sac as well. The cul-de-sac is a
public street. Staff has concerns about the radius of the cul-de-sac bulb
and whether it is large enough to accommodate the long wheel base emergency
vehicles, such as fire trucks. The Planning Commission discussed this
issue and the design has been revised to a larger radius cul-de-sac. A
Public Works Plan has been provided. The Planning Commission discussed
the number of curb cuts and their location along Talmadge Street. All
required information is shown on the plat maps. Further development of
this site will require development review procedures under the IC-MU “point”
evaluation system.
The Planning Commission
recommended approval of the Final Plat for Talmadge Center noting that the size
of the bulb in the cul-de-sac be resolved by city staff prior to the Council
presentation (done) and that the curb cuts on Talmadge Street be addressed at
the time the property develops.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo
Surveying presented this matter to the Council. This tract is located on the
northwestern fringes of the Interstate Corridor Mixed Use District which will
eventually be reviewed by staff for the final plat. He believed what is
interesting is that in a week’s time, the Planning Commission has on their
Agenda to review the Interstate Corridor Mixed Use area to see if it is a
zoning district that fits well within our City. This project might be a good
test to see if it really works because there has only been one other project
put before the City in that district. This site is located between 2nd Street
and Central Avenue, south of Talmadge Street. This plan consists of three
lots. To the east and west of the cul-de-sac will be a lot and at the end there
will be another lot. Mr. Humphrey stated there is a planned commercial
development in that area that should fit nicely into our City.
Paul Brungardt, Brungardt
Engineering, stated the revised cul-de-sac has been reviewed with Bruce Grupe,
City Engineer. The right-of-way is being expanded to a 65-foot
right-of-way bulb. They have maintained a 50-foot paved cul-de-sac with
curb and gutter and added 40 foot return radiuses to allow for a semi-truck to
turn around in the bulb. This was the recommendation of the Planning
Commission. There will be a 4-foot sidewalk behind the curb that wraps
completely around. Public works plan includes: sanitary to come off of Talmadge
Street, storm water detention on site and collected into the existing storm
sewer system of the City, pavement and water meeting City standards.
Moved by Buschkoetter seconded by
Blankenship to approve the application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant)
for Kearney State Bank and Trust Company, Personal Representative of the Betty
J. Connell Estate (Owner) for final plat approval of “TALMADGE CENTER” for a

12, Township 8 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., Buffalo County, Nebraska

FINAL PLAT – HEARTLAND ADDITION
Mayor Blankenship opened for
discussion the application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for Delbert
D. Bridge, Heartland Motor Sports (Owner) for final plat approval of “HEARTLAND
ADDITION” for a tract of land located in the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast
Quarter of Section 31, Township 9 North, Range 15 West of the 6th P.M., Buffalo
County, Nebraska (2006 Highway 30 East) and to consider approval of Resolution
No. 2004-200. Planning Commission recommended approval noting that the existing
building is nonconforming and if it were destroyed, any new building would have
to conform to the platted building setback.
Heartland Motor Sports is
requesting approval of a one-lot subdivision located at 2006 East Highway
30. The property is zoned M-1 and contains a business, Heartland ATV
Center. The owners would like to add an addition to the existing
building. This land has never been formally subdivided and filed with the
Register of Deeds as a subdivision. Therefore, the City is requiring a
Preliminary and Final Plat for this property prior to issuance of Building
Permits for the building addition/remodel. The land area of the
subdivision is 0.488 acres.
The Preliminary Plat and Final
Plat of Heartland Addition consist of a one-lot subdivision. The Preliminary
Plat was approved by Planning Commission on September 17, 2004. All
required information is shown on the plat maps. No Subdivision Agreement
or Public Works Plan is required.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo
Surveying presented this matter to the Council. This is a one-lot subdivision,
which was necessitated because the City Code requires previously unplatted
property to be platted prior to the issuance of permits. The building
does sit within the required setback line. If the building were ever
destroyed, it would have to be rebuilt to conform according to code.
Moved by Blankenship seconded by
Kearney to approve the application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for
Delbert D. Bridge, Heartland Motor Sports (Owner) for final plat approval of
“HEARTLAND ADDITION” for a tract of land located in the Southwest Quarter of
the Southeast Quarter of Section 31, Township 9 North, Range 15 West of the 6th

ORDINANCE NO. 7132 – SELL PORTION
OF “PARK” LAND
The property owners of 907 West
29th Street are interested in purchasing additional property that abuts the
west side of their property to accumulate enough land for off-street
parking. There is a 77-foot by 50-foot parcel of land west of 907 West 29th
Street that was previously dedicated to the City of Kearney as “parkland” when
the area was originally platted.
City Administration advised the
applicants that the City Public Works Department would like to retain ownership
of some of this property on the west side in case there is a future turn lane
on Hillcrest Drive requiring additional right-of-way. Therefore,
Administration directed the owners to obtain an appraisal for this
parcel. At 50-feet square, this parcel is too small to have any value as
park land other than open space and landscaping. The City has treated it
as oversized street right-of-way for years. City Administration is
agreeable to selling the 50-foot by 50-foot property if the City Council
authorizes the sale. The appraised price of the 50-foot by 50-foot piece
is $2,225.00. The description is: a tract fifty feet by fifty feet
abutting Lot 26, Hillcrest Addition, to the City of Kearney, Buffalo County,
Nebraska.
Joe Lewis presented this matter
to the Council. He wanted to purchase the 77’x50’ vacant lot which the City
owns and is west of his property located at 907 West 29th Street. The
City was unwilling to sell the whole lot, but he requested to purchase a
50’x50’ portion of that lot so he could widen out his driveway to make more
parking area. Director of Public Works stated this lot was originally
platted when they did the Hillcrest Drive Subdivision. He was not certain
if it was intended for an additional park land entryway into the subdivision,
but it has been there since that area was platted. The City has not used
it for park ground and at one time had some utilities on it, but those have
been relocated.
Council Member Kearney introduced
Ordinance No. 7132, being Subsection 9 of Agenda Item VI to sell a portion of a
tract of land designated as “Park” lying south of Lot 26, Hillcrest Addition to
the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska to Joe and Christine Lewis and
Samuel Lewis, 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. 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: Blankenship, Kearney,
Buschkoetter, Hadley. Nay: None. Clouse 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.
7132 by number. Roll call of those in favor of the passage of said
ordinance on the first reading resulted as follows: Aye: Blankenship,
Kearney, Buschkoetter, Hadley. Nay: None. Clouse absent. Motion
carried. Ordinance was read by number.
Moved by Hadley seconded by
Buschkoetter that Ordinance No. 7132 be passed, approved and published as
required by law. Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Blankenship,
Buschkoetter, Hadley, Kearney. Nay: None. Clouse absent. Motion
carried.
By reason of the roll call voted
on the first reading and final passage of the ordinance, Ordinance No. 7132 is
declared to be lawfully passed and adopted upon publication in pamphlet form
and made available to the public at the Office of the City Clerk, the Kearney
Police Department and the Kearney Public Library.
COTTONMILL PARK MARINA BUILDING
PLAN AND SPECIFICATIONS
Mayor Blankenship opened for
discussion the Plans and Specifications for the construction of the Cottonmill
Park Marina Building and set the bid opening date for November 2, 2004 at 2:00
p.m.
Park Superintendent Alan Roesler
presented this matter to the Council. A new ADA marina restroom building was
funded in the 2003-04 budget. Due to construction delays with other park
project delays, the City held this project until significant progress was
accomplished on the other park projects. Substantial progress has taken
place on those projects over the last month and the City is now ready to bid
the Cottonmill Marina Project.
Plans and specifications are completed
for the Cottonmill Marina ADA restroom and we are requesting permission to bid
the project. Bid opening is scheduled for November 2, 2004 at 2:00
p.m. The project has an anticipated completion date of May 6, 2005.
Alan Roesler stated this structure
was budgeted for this year, but unforeseen circumstances prevented it from
being put out for bid until now. When the park was developed with the
swimming area in the 1970’s there was an open air changing room at the marina,
but no restrooms. People began to use those changing rooms as restrooms
and that became a sanitary problem so they were demolished. The portable
restrooms that have been in use were placed at that time.
The new marina would include men
and women’s restrooms, which would utilize the facilities that were previously
used as the City’s well house. There will be some outdoor showers and an
area for boat rentals and concessions. There was approximately $155,000
budgeted for this project, which might seem high. This project is unable
to be tied to the City sewer system and will require a bigger septic tank and
the waste will have to be pumped uphill to a new leach field which accounts for
much of the cost. The bid opening will be November 2, 2004. If the City
receives some good bids, construction would begin in the spring to hopefully be
completed and get some use out of it next summer.
Moved by Buschkoetter seconded by
Blankenship to approve the Plans and Specifications for the construction of the
Cottonmill Park Marina Building and set the bid opening date for November 2,
2004 at 2:00 p.m. Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Blankenship,
Hadley, Kearney, Buschkoetter. Nay: None. Clouse absent. Motion
carried.
