PUBLIC HEARINGS
REZONING – 16 AND 108 WEST 32ND
STREET
Mayor Hadley vacated his chair
and abstained from discussion and voting for the reason he is Chairman of the Board
of Directors for the Hospital.
Vice-President Buschkoetter
opened the public hearing on the Application submitted by Good Samaritan
Hospital (Applicant and Owner) to rezone from “District R-1, Urban Residential
Single-Family District (Low Density)” to “District C-0, Office District”
property described as Lots 13 and 14, Cottage Place, an addition to the City of
Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska (16 and 108 West 32nd Street). Planning
Commission recommended approval.
With the recent expansion project
at Good Samaritan Hospital, Planning Staff had requested a “campus planning”
approach for the facility. With multiple buildings and building
additions, satellite parking lots and scattered property holdings the idea was
to consolidate everything in the planning phases into an overall master
plan. Hospital administration presented a rezoning plan that covered all
of the Good Samaritan property holdings and rezoned them to District C-0,
Office District. Since that time the hospital has moved forward with the
expansion plan and two lots that were not included in the original master plan
have been subsequently acquired by the hospital and are now part of the parking
lot area. The hospital administration simply seeks to rezone these two
lots to C-0 and include them in the campus master plan.
This rezoning request can be
considered a “housekeeping” issue since the construction has been completed and
the two lots are already being used for hospital parking.
George Volz from Good Samaritan
Hospital presented this matter to the Council. These are the two lots that they
are going to put the retention cells under and then pave.
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 Good
Samaritan Hospital (Applicant and Owner) to rezone from “District R-1, Urban
Residential Single-Family District (Low Density)” to “District C-0, Office
District” property described as Lots 13 and 14, Cottage Place, an addition to
the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska (16 and 108 West 32nd Street).
Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Buschkoetter, Lear, Clouse, Kearney. Nay:
None. Hadley abstaining. Motion carried.
REZONING – NORTH OF 56TH STREET
AND 776.0± FEET EAST OF AVENUE E
Public Hearings 2, 3 and 4 were
discussed together but voted on separately.
Mayor Hadley opened the public
hearing on the Application submitted by Tim Norwood (Applicant) for NP Land
Development Inc. (Owner) to rezone from “District AG, Agricultural District” to
“District C-0, Office District” property described as a tract of land being
part of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 24, Township
9 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., containing 2.009 acres, more or less, Buffalo
County, Nebraska (north of 56th Street and 776.0± feet east of Avenue E).
Planning Commission recommended approval.
The applicant is requesting
approval to rezone property and create a lot for commercial office development
located on the north side of 56th Street approximately 776 feet east of Avenue
E. The land is currently zoned agricultural and the applicant is requesting
rezoning to District C-0, Office District. This rezoning request is in
conformance with the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Development Plan
which shows this property as Mixed Use 1. Commercial office development
is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the area. This property
is contiguous to the city limits and can be served with municipal services.
Therefore, this property should be annexed and included within the corporate
limits of the City of Kearney.
The Preliminary Plat for this lot
was previously approved in 2003. The Final Plat will be known as
Stoneridge Fourth Addition, a 2.009 acre single lot subdivision. The
owner wishes to mass grade this lot along with the larger lot to the west that
is developing as PEDCOR apartments. Water and sewer is available in 56th
Street. Drainage will flow north into the proposed lake. A Public
Works Plan was submitted with the Preliminary Plat in 2003.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo
Surveying presented this matter to the Council. He stated this is the next
phase of the Stoneridge development which will be a small, non-retail
commercial lot containing two acres.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Clouse seconded by Lear
to close the hearing and approve the Application submitted by Tim Norwood
(Applicant) for NP Land Development Inc. (Owner) to rezone from “District AG, Agricultural

FINAL PLAT – GRANDVIEW ESTATES
NINTH ADDITION
Mayor Hadley opened the public
hearing on the Application submitted by Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying
(Applicant) for M. Timm Development (Owner) for final plat approval for
“GRANDVIEW ESTATES NINTH ADDITION”, an addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo
County, Nebraska located in the South Half of the Southwest Quarter of Section
30, Township 9 North, Range 15 West of the 6th P.M., containing 7.45 acres,
more or less, Buffalo County, Nebraska (north of 39th Street and west of Avenue
R) and to consider approval of Resolution No. 2005-84. Planning Commission
recommended approval subject to filing a cross-parking agreement with the
Register of Deeds at the time the final plat is filed.
The applicant is requesting
approval of vacation of one existing lot so that the lot can be re-subdivided
into two lots for financing purposes. This property was originally
subdivided in 1992 and is zoned R-3/PD. The use of this property is multi-family
residential. Three apartment buildings have been constructed on the
premises based on original approval of development plans in the past.
Five more apartment buildings and some associated garage buildings are proposed
for construction. The vacation is necessary so that the property can be
re-subdivided as Grandview Estates Ninth Addition.
The Preliminary and Final
Subdivision Plats for this project consist of two lots. The Preliminary
Plat was approved by Planning Commission on May 20, 2005. Lot 1 contains
the existing apartment buildings while Lot 2 will contain the five proposed
apartment buildings. The lot line dividing the two lots is designed to
accommodate the minimum 25-foot building setback. A cross-parking
agreement will be executed between the two lots so that access and parking will
be fully shared.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo
Surveying presented this matter to the Council. M. Timm development is also the
builder of the apartment complex located on East 39th Street north of the
Fairgrounds. This request is to divide this into two lots in order to
accommodate some issues that need to be resolved. They will file a
cross-parking agreement as stated. Mr. Humphrey envisions the cross-parking
being comparable to a mall setting. Frequently, malls have multiple
properties owned by several different owners and they have an agreement that
allows patrons to drive from one property to another to park. This would
allow the tenants of one unit to use either lot one or two and have access to
both lots.
Director of Public Works Rod
Wiederspan stated that a development plan had been previously approved for
multiple buildings on these two lots. The access to them is a circle
drive through the complex, which will allow the cross-parking and drive access
easement. There are already three buildings on lot one and there will be
another five buildings built on lot two.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Hadley seconded by
Kearney to close the hearing and approve the Application submitted by Mitch
Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying (Applicant) for M. Timm Development (Owner) for

FINAL PLAT – STONERIDGE FIFRTH
ADDITION
Public Hearings 6 and 7 were
discussed together but voted on separately.
Mayor Hadley opened the public
hearing on the Application submitted by Craig Bennett from Miller &
Associates (Applicant) for NP Land Development Inc. (Owner) for final plat
approval for “STONERIDGE FIFTH ADDITION”, an addition to the City of Kearney,
Buffalo County, Nebraska for a tract of land described as Lot 1, Stoneridge
Addition, an addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska (to be
vacated) (north of 56th Street and east of Avenue E) and to consider approval
of Resolution No. 2005-85. Planning Commission recommended approval.
The applicant is requesting
approval to create two lots for financing purposes for development of a multi-family
apartment complex north of 56th Street and east of Avenue E. The property
is zoned R-3/PD. A total of 104 apartment units in eight buildings and an
associated pool house structure will be constructed in two phases. Lot 1,
Stoneridge Addition must be vacated so that the lot can be re-subdivided into
two lots for financing purposes. The new subdivision will be known as
Stoneridge Fifth Addition.
The Preliminary Plat and Final
Plat consist of two lots, one for each phase of the development project.
The Preliminary Plat was approved by the Planning Commission on May 20,
2005. Lot 1 will accommodate Phase 1, which consists of 80 dwelling units
in five buildings plus the pool house. Lot 2 contains the final 24 units
in two buildings. A Public Woks Plan was submitted. The 20-foot
building setback line measured from the lot line that separates Building 8 from
Building 3 should be 25 feet. After consideration, the Planning
Commission recommended a deviation to allow the 20-foot separation.
A complete Development Plan
package has been submitted. The project will be built in two phases of 80
and 24 units respectively. The site is extensively landscaped as depicted
on the Landscape Plans. An overall Landscape Plan and individual
Landscape Plans for each building have been submitted. The building
elevations are quite attractive with construction materials comprised of brick
and vinyl siding. The pool house has the character of a residential
dwelling, which will help to blend into the character of the mixed-use
neighborhood.
The project takes access from
56th Street and in the future will have a second access from Avenue E once the
street is extended north. The timeframe for the extension of Avenue E is
unknown at this time. The City Engineer has requested that the median at
the 56th Street entrance be extended further south approximately eight feet to
better control turning movements, both inbound and outbound.
The Fire Administrator has
requested temporary all-weather access road in one of two configurations.
If the entire internal circulation loop road is built for both phases initially
to provide access throughout the property, the temporary access road need only
extend to the southernmost part of the internal road. If the internal
loop road is constructed in two phases, the temporary access road must provide
connections at the north and south legs of the loop road. The temporary road
should be at least 20 feet wide and constructed of compacted crushed
concrete. This access road will be located within the 33‑foot strip
that is the east half of Avenue E right-of-way. It can be gated from
public use if the fire, police and life care paramedics have a key to it.
During the Planning Commission
hearing, the location of the emergency access road was discussed at
length. The Planning Commission prefers an access on 56th Street through
Lot 2 of Stoneridge Addition, a corner lot reserved for future commercial
development, instead of using half of the Avenue E right-of-way. The
developer will need to have an access easement from the Owner(s) of the
commercial lot. In this manner, adequate access and circulation are
provided to the site for emergency response vehicles and the 56th Street access
point for the commercial lot is established.
Craig Bennett from Miller &
Associates presented this matter to the Council. They plan to take existing Lot
1 and replat it into two lots to accommodate phase one and phase two of this
project. This is more of an in-house item rather than just leaving it as
one lot. He presented the development plan. There will be eight
units with both phases including a clubhouse, pool, landscaping. There will be
a detention cell in the middle of the property, which will have a permanent
pool and amenities such as a fountain. Planning Commission asked for
another access to the site on a temporary basis for fire safety and to provide
an ingress and egress on a daily basis. They have met with Mr. Norwood, owner
of the adjacent property to these 10 acres, and agreed on a road off of 56th
Street into his parcel which will go into this property until Avenue E is
opened for traffic. The traffic flow will allow this property to have a
loop in and around the site and two accesses onto 56th Street until Avenue E is
opened.
Council member Clouse asked for a
description of phases one and two. Mr. Bennett stated that Buildings 7
and 8 on the west would be in phase two. They hope that Avenue E will be
open at that time. At the present time, they only have half of the right-of-way
to Avenue E. The detention cell will be built entirely in phase one along with
the clubhouse pool. Director of Public Works stated that the temporary access
road will be a hard surface (asphalt or concrete). Anything built on the
public right-of-way will be 6-inch thick concrete. The Pedcor development
will be responsible for maintenance of the temporary access road.
Director of Public Works also explained that in other developments where there
was not access in and out, they require a temporary/ emergency access road for
fire department only. In this case due to the amount of potential
residents in this area, they determined it was necessary to have a hard
surfaced second access rather than rock.
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 Craig
Bennett from Miller & Associates (Applicant) for NP Land Development Inc.
(Owner) for final plat approval for “STONERIDGE FIFTH ADDITION”, an addition to
the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska for a tract of land described as

property zoned “District R-3/PD, Urban Residential Multi-Family District
(Medium Density)/Planned Development Overlay District” and described as Lot 38,
Block 2, Grandview Estates Third Addition, an addition to the City of Kearney,
Buffalo County, Nebraska (40th Street and Avenue R) and to consider approval of
Resolution No. 2005-87. Planning Commission recommended approval subject to
labeling the abutting streets for orientation purposes as Avenue R and 40th
Street.
The applicant is requesting
approval of Development Plans for development of a multi-family apartment
complex at 40th Street and Avenue R. The property is zoned
R-3/PD. A total of 24 apartment units in three buildings will be
constructed. This property was previously approved through the Development
Plan process for 22 apartment units proposed by another developer. The
new plans reflect the addition of two additional dwelling units and a
corresponding increase in parking to accommodate three bedroom units.
The applicant has submitted a
complete Development Plan package. A Public Works Plan and a 200-foot Radius
Map have been submitted. 72 parking spaces are required and 72 spaces are
provided. Landscaping is shown on the Site Plan. The proposed
building elevations and floor plans were previously provided.
Paul Brungardt from Brungardt
Engineering presented this matter to the Council. This project was presented to
Planning Commission and City Council about three years ago with a new
developer. This plan is the same layout; however, the major difference is
that the previous developer only had two 8-plexes and one 6-plex. This
project will have three 8-plex units. This project is located off Avenue
R to the north of the Fairgrounds. The sanitary sewer will run to Avenue
R and water will also come off Avenue R. The drainage will run over to
the east and discharge into the drainage ditch on the west side of the railroad
tracks. There will be sufficient screening with pines between the
8-plexes and the residential lots to the north of this property.
Council member Clouse asked if
there is room for setbacks since this property is long and narrow. Mr.
Brungardt responded that there is enough room for setbacks both off the street
and the abutment to the residential lots.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.

REZONING – WEST OF CHERRY AVENUE AND
SOUTH OF 39TH STREET
Public Hearings 9, 10 and 11 were
discussed together but voted on separately.
Mayor Hadley opened the public
hearing on the Application submitted by Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying
(Applicant) for Brent Henderson and Gary Henderson (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 the Northeast
Quarter of Section 32, Township 9 North, Range 15 West of the 6th P.M., containing
18.20 acres, more or less, Buffalo County, Nebraska; AND to “District C-3,
General Commercial District” property described as a tract of land being part
of the Northeast Quarter of Section 32, Township 9 North, Range 15 West of the
6th P.M., containing 21.18 acres, more or less, Buffalo County, Nebraska; AND
to “District C-3/PD, General Commercial District/Planned Development Overlay
District” property described as a tract of land being part of the Northeast
Quarter of Section 32, Township 9 North, Range 15 West of the 6th P.M.,
containing 57.86 acres, more or less, Buffalo County, Nebraska (west of Cherry
Avenue and south of 39th Street). Planning Commission recommended approval.
Planning Staff has been working
with the Owners and Development Team on this project for the past two
years. This is a large, multi-phased project consisting of proposed
commercial and industrial land uses on 97.24 acres. The first phase
includes a 117,000-square foot country supply store, a 6,000-square foot
convenience store, a 6,300-square foot sit-down restaurant, and a truck
wash. The proposed Cherry Avenue overpass and bypass transects this
property in a north-south direction. Development of this project includes
rezoning, subdivision plats, and approval of Development Plans for the initial
phase. Future development will include a large warehouse building, a
propane tank farm and various commercial uses that will be built on the lots
once the owner sells them.
Because the final layout of the
proposed overpass/bypass route has not been approved by Nebraska Department of
Roads (NDOR), there has been some uncertainty as to how the bypass and the
subdivision might fit with one another. New information has recently been
received from the engineering firm that is designing the bypass. This
information indicates, to the best of their knowledge, the location of the
bypass corridor and associated access roads. The Developer has overlaid
this information on the proposed subdivision plat for comparison purposes and
some adjustments have been made in the subdivision layout to accommodate the
required right-of-way.
The entire tract of land is
currently zoned Agricultural. The Developer is requesting three
categories of rezoning, C-3, C-3/PD, and M-1. The project proposes a
mixture of commercial and industrial land uses, primarily commercial, that will
be accommodated by the requested zoning categories. Only 18.20 acres of
the total project are slated for industrial development. This area is
located to the south-center portion of the overall tract so as not to be as
visible from surrounding roadways. The most visible portions of the
development are located adjacent to the proposed bypass corridor and along 39th
Street. The Developer has agreed to proceed with “planned district”
C-3/PD zoning in this area amounting to 57.86 acres of the 97.24 total
acres. A complete Development Plan package has been submitted to address
all development aspects of the first phase of the project which are located
within the planned development area. The remaining 21.18 acres is
proposed for C-3 zoning and is located towards the western edge of the
property. The Planning Staff has reviewed the proposed zone changes and
believes that the application is consistent with the Future Land Use Map of the
Comprehensive Development Plan and in context with surrounding existing zoning
and land uses.
The Preliminary and Final Plats
for Country Depot Plaza subdivision contain 21 commercial lots and four
industrial lots for a total of 25 lots. The lots vary in size from 1.92
acres to 12.79 acres. The Planning Commission approved the Preliminary
Plat on May 20, 2005.
Access to 39th Street is limited
to the public streets shown on the plats and access to the proposed Cherry
Avenue bypass will be prohibited except at major intersecting streets every
half mile. All development lots are accessed internally. The
streets within the subdivision, including cul-de-sac bulbs, have been designed
to accommodate tractor trailer truck maneuvering. The Developer has
adjusted the roadway layout to tie in with the truck access on the north end of
the Eaton property.
As previously stated, some recent
revisions have been made to the subdivision plats to accommodate the best known
alignment of the future Cherry Avenue Bypass. NDOR will require
approximately 200 feet of width for the primary corridor. Additional
width may be required especially toward the south end of this tract of
land. Therefore, the Developer has agreed to depict a 200-foot width
corridor on the final plat in the location desired by NDOR, said corridor
reserved solely for future dedication as Cherry Avenue Bypass
right-of-way. A Subdivision Agreement will be prepared to set forth the
rights and responsibilities of the city and the developer. One part of
this agreement will reference the 200-foot corridor and the city and the
developer will agree to negotiate a reasonable price for the land contained in
the corridor at pre-developed, agricultural use rates so that the City may
purchase the land and reserve it for the NDOR project. Any additional
right-of-way required for the primary bypass corridor may also be purchased at
the agreed upon price. If negotiations fail and a reasonable price cannot
be agreed upon, the Subdivision Agreement will be null and void. Such
additional right-of-way may include land in excess of the 200-foot width as
well as any right-of-way required for access roads leading to and from the
bypass corridor.
The Final Plat depicts a 66-foot
utility and future roadway easement leading from existing Cherry Avenue on the
east side of the property in a westerly direction to intersect the bypass
approximately 680 feet north of the south property line of the tract.
This 66-foot easement then continues to the west a short distance before
curving to the south, and then continues south to the south property line of
the tract, eventually to be extended all the way south to NE State Hwy.
30. The alignment of this 66-foot easement has been taken from the
location proposed by NDOR for an access road to connect to and from the primary
bypass corridor. In this manner, the City and the Developer can
demonstrate diligence in meeting the future needs of NDOR for the bypass
project.
In summary, through the platting
process and the associated Subdivision Agreement, the City and the developer
are working together to:
- Protect the future right-of-way
for the primary bypass corridor and associated access roads in the exact
location shown in the latest correspondence from NDOR engineers.
- Protect against escalation of
land values for the bypass right-of-way by negotiating a price based on
current use – undeveloped Ag land.
- Provide flexibility for the
corridor right-of-way to increase or decrease as determined by final
engineering by allowing additional right-of-way to be purchased at the
agreed upon cost or by vacating unnecessary right-of-way shown on the plat
with a future replat.
The Subdivision Agreement will also
address annexation and public services. Municipal water exists in 39th
Street and can be extended to serve the development. All interior streets
will be paved by the developer under a Developer Constructed Infrastructure
clause in the agreement. There will be no cost to the developer for the
Cherry Avenue Bypass itself, while construction costs of the access roads may
be negotiated based on access issues. In other words, if NDOR does not
allow the Developer access to the bypass access road, then there will be no
cost assessed to the Developer. If NDOR does allow access, there may be
costs assessed to the Developer.
The agreement will address the
provisions for sanitary sewer and stormwater. A large 30-inch trunk line
is required to serve the future development area to the north. This sewer
will be located within the right-of-way of existing Cherry Avenue, extending
from the existing lift station to the north approximately 1,415 feet. A
smaller 15-inch line will be connected to the trunk line and extended west to
Cass Avenue in the aforementioned 66-foot utility and future roadway easement
that corresponds to the preferred location for the bypass access road according
to NDOR engineers. Local 8-inch service lines will be installed throughout
the subdivision to serve each lot and feed back to the 15-inch line. The
Developer has agreed to pay for the construction cost of the entire sewer
upfront. A connection district will be created for the 30-inch line and
associated manholes and the City will repay the Developer for oversizing in a
future budget year. Any required modifications to the existing lift
station are not included in the developer’s cost. The 15 and 8-inch lines
will be installed by the Developer under the provisions of Developer Constructed
Infrastructure. These terms and conditions will be set forth in the
Subdivision Agreement.
Stormwater detention is required
for each lot in this development. Stormwater cells are shown on the
Public Works Plan. Seven separate cells are shown in conjunction with
Phase 1 development. Final design and computations for the stormwater
detention must be submitted and approved by the City Engineer prior to issuance
of any Building Permits.
A complete Development Plan
package has been submitted for Phase 1 construction. The initial phase
consists of a retail country supply store, a restaurant, a convenience store,
and a truck wash. The retail store, restaurant and convenience store are
located near the center of the site on the west side of the proposed
bypass. These buildings will have good visibility from 39th Street and
the proposed bypass. The truck wash is located towards the southwest
corner of the site on a lot zoned for industry.
The retail site includes several
outbuildings other than the main building. There are four additional
buildings for storage or sales of various items including wire, hay, lawn and
garden and vehicle storage. All the buildings are similar in
architectural appearance and construction materials. The more prominent
commercial buildings are constructed with EFIS, decorative block and metal
roofs. The smaller outbuildings and industrial type buildings are metal
panel with metal roofs. In all cases, street facing facades feature a
decorative block wainscot strip from the ground up to about four feet.
The large retail building features pilasters along the longer wall expanses to
break up the linear effect. The smaller buildings have the walls offset
in various places to achieve the same affect.
The truck wash area consists of a
building with wash bays for tractor trailer rigs, a truck scale and an enclosed
capture wash pit for washing out livestock trailers. The pit will be
pumped periodically and is covered to reduce odor emissions.
A complete Landscape Plan has
been submitted for each of the Phase 1 development sites. The Landscape
Plan includes the location, quantity, size and species for all plant materials.
The Developer proposes excellent screening with spruce and fir trees in
appropriate areas. Autumn Blaze maples are shown along all public streets
as street tree plantings. Shrub beds are located on the corners of the
interior street intersections.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo
Surveying and Paul Brungardt from Brungardt Engineering presented this matter
to the Council. This has been a detailed project that they have been
working on for a long time and had many meetings with the City staff. He
expressed his appreciation to the staff and the City Manager, who facilitated
those meetings. This area contains 97 acres and zoning will be requested in
three parts. This area will contain the Cherry Avenue by-pass corridor,
which the City and the Chamber of Commerce have been working on so diligently
for the last few years. That project has complicated this one a little,
but everyone has worked through it and has come to terms with what needs to be
done.
In this area will be the Cherry
Avenue by-pass, a loop road which is planned as part of the by-pass project to
have access down to Highway 30 to move traffic on to that corridor. There
will be streets that will be platted as part of this project (standard public
streets). The rest of the area will be platted into lots with the areas
straddling the corridor are being requested to be zoned C-3/PD which will allow
the City staff and Planning Commission a little more say so on how the
development occurs along that corridor, similar to the way 56th Street and 2nd
Avenue is treated inside the City. The area to the west of the by-pass
corridor is being rezoned to be M-1 and C-3/PD and C-3.
The proposal is a for a large
retail center that will service a great deal of Ag community and trucking
business in town. There will a truck stop and restaurant. The truck
wash will allow truckers who haul livestock to wash out their facility, which
will be collected and shipped away for profit. As the site develops,
there will be other lots available for other users. There is a subdivision
agreement and an infrastructure agreement for which all the details have been
worked out.
Council member Buschkoetter asked
how many accesses there will be off Cherry Avenue. Mr. Humphrey responded
that the State does not want any. Director of Public Works Rod Wiederspan
stated the by-pass will be set up for half mile access points. The design of
the loop road, which will go to Highway 30, has not been finalized. None
of the individual lots will have access to the corridor. These lots will take
access either off the original Cherry Avenue on the east side or the proposed
road on the west. They have allowed enough flexibility in the layout so
they can accommodate whatever that final design will be. They have added
a 200-foot designated lot for the by-pass, plus an additional 70-foot easement
to the west. That will be green space for the development in phase one in
the event that the alignment for Cherry Avenue by-pass would be moved.
Council member Kearney asked if
there was anything in the area that would be comparative. Mr. Humphrey
stated that it would be a combination of Bosselman’s and the former Country
Generals. Mayor Hadley commended both the developer and the people, who
worked with them. This is an excellent addition for Kearney that will
bring many people in for services. He expressed his appreciation of the
City staff for their work with the developer that made this happen.
Council member Clouse asked for a timeline for some of these projects along
Cherry Avenue. Mr. Humphrey responded that as soon as the plan is
approved and all the documents presented to the City and the various State
agencies, they plan to begin construction.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Buschkoetter seconded by
Hadley to close the hearing and approve the Application submitted by Mitch
Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying (Applicant) for Brent Henderson and Gary
Henderson (Owner) to rezone from “District AG, Agricultural District” to

POLICY FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
OF THE CITY
Mayor Hadley opened for discussion
a policy regarding volunteer citizen boards, commissions and committees of the
City of Kearney and to consider approval of Resolution No. 2005-96.
City Clerk presented this matter
to the Council. The City of Kearney has several Boards and Commissions that
work in conjunction with the City of Kearney. In order to better
streamline the appointment and administration of the citizen boards system, it
is necessary for the Council to adopt a more formal policy and procedural
guide.
One of the more important steps
in the process is the solicitation of interest from the citizens of Kearney.
Individuals will need to complete an Expression of Interest Form and submit it
to the City Clerk. Those members currently serving on a board or commission
interested in reappointment shall also be asked to submit an Expression of
Interest Form. The City Council will then receive copies of completed
Expression of Interest Forms so that they may offer written suggestions to the
Mayor on appointments/reappointments. All appointments will be made by
resolution submitted by the Mayor to the Council for final approval at the last
Council meeting in July with an effective date of August 1.
Currently, the
appointments/reappointments of the various Boards expire at different times of
the year. With the adoption of the policy, all appointments/reappointments will
occur at the end of July with the effective date of August 1. Vacancies
occurring at other than the normal expiration date of a term (for example, a
resignation for reasons of health) will be filled, whenever possible, by
considering those individuals who have Expression of Interest Forms on file.
The City currently has the
following openings:
2 – Library Advisory Board
1 – Advisory Board of Cable Commissioners
3 – Examining Board of Plumbers
3 – Golf Advisory Board
4 – Planning Commission
After the passage of the attached
resolution, the City will advertise the openings in the Kearney Hub. The
City’s website has the Expression of Interest Form that people can download,
complete and submit to the City Clerk.
Moved by Kearney seconded by
Clouse to approve a policy regarding volunteer citizen boards, commissions and
committees of the City of Kearney and approve Resolution No. 2005-96. Roll call
resulted as follows: Aye: Hadley, Lear, Clouse, Kearney, Buschkoetter. Nay:
None. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION NO.
2005-96
WHEREAS, volunteer citizen boards serve an important role in democratic local
governments and provide an excellent mechanism for eliciting constructive
citizen input and using the talents of individual citizens; and
WHEREAS, the City of Kearney uses numerous citizen boards and commissions to
assist in the provision of services to its citizens; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined it is advisable to adopt a more formal
policy and procedural guide for appointments to, and administration of, an
effective board and committee system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Council of the City of
Kearney, Nebraska, that:
Section 1. Adoption of
Policy. The policies and procedures outline herein are hereby adopted
and placed into effect upon passage of this Resolution. Said policies and
procedures shall generally govern the appointment and administration of the
citizen boards system, unless otherwise waived by the City Council. The Council
may revise the policy as necessary from time to time by Resolution.
Section 2. Appointment
Procedure. It shall be the policy of the City Council to follow the
steps outlined herein regarding citizen boards, committees and commissions:
A. Solicitation of Interest.
Names of persons willing to serve the City in the capacity of volunteer board,
committee or commission member will be obtained by both formal and informal
advertising designed to reach as many citizens as possible. Each individual
will complete an Expression of Interest Form and submit the same to the City
Clerk. Those presently serving on a board or commission interested in
reappointment shall also be asked to submit an Expression of Interest Form.
B. Record of Interested
Persons. The City Clerk’s Office will maintain a record of all City
boards and commissions and will notify the City Manager’s Office of any
vacancies as they occur. In consultation with the City Manager’s Office, the
City Clerk will solicit volunteers for appointment in July of each year and
notify the City Manager’s Office of those appointments needed to be made in
August. Vacancies occurring at other than the normal expiration date of a term
(for example, a resignation for reasons of health) will be filled, whenever
possible, by considering those individuals who have Expression of Interest
Forms on file. The Expression of Interest Form will include a section in which
the volunteer should indicate how long his or her application should remain on
file (e.g., one year, two years, indefinitely).
C. Manner and Time of
Appointment. It will be the responsibility of the City Clerk to distribute
copies of completed Expression of Interest Forms to City Council members so
that they may offer written suggestions to the Mayor on appointments. Council
members shall also be notified if any of the applicants are currently members
of the board or committee, and, if so, are eligible for reappointment. All
appointments will be made by Resolution submitted by the Mayor to the City
Council for final approval at the last Council meeting in July with an
effective date of August 1 of each year.
Section 3. Guidelines for
Operations. It shall be the policy of the City Council to follow the
guidelines outlined hereafter regarding the operation of citizen boards,
committees and commissions.
A. Participation.
Members of citizen boards and commissions are expected to attend meetings on a
regular basis. Board attendance records will be monitored by the staff liaison.
Whenever a board member misses three (3) consecutive meetings or his or her
attendance falls below 75% in a 12-month period, the board’s staff liaison will
so notify the Mayor. The Mayor will formally request, by letter, clarification
from the identified board member of the reason for lack of attendance. If no
attendance improvement plan can be agreed upon by the Mayor and member, the
member may be asked to consider resignation.
B. Orientation.
City staff shall provide an orientation session and orientation materials for
all new board and commission members. This will include the enabling
legislation for that board or commission, a historical perspective on the work
of that board and any other material appropriate to the conduct of that board’s
duties. The City Manager’s Office will provide all committee members with
orientation material applicable to service on all City boards and commissions.
C. Compensation.
Citizen board, committee and commission members will receive no compensation
for service.
Section 4. Relationships of
Citizen Boards, City Council and City Staff.
A. Role Definition.
During orientation training, definition of the relationships of citizen boards,
the City Council and City staff shall be discussed as they are established by
the enabling ordinance or resolution or by other statements of policy.
B. Ad Hoc Committees.
The City Council may establish ad hoc citizen committees as needed to review
City programs, to provide citizen input and recommendations on City projects
and to assist in program review. It is important to distinguish between the
role of an ad hoc committee and the primary role of the City Council in
determining City policy on the nature of services and programs to be provided
by the City and the means by which they shall be provided.
C. Staff Responsibilities.
It is not appropriate for citizen boards to give work direction to City staff.
City staff is provided to a board or commission as a resource for necessary
information, not to carry out assignments from the board or to perform tasks
which may infringe on or conflict with regular departmental responsibilities.
However, staff will always endeavor to work closely with boards to enable them
to carry out, as efficiently as possible, their responsibilities in the City
government. It is recognized that some City-appointed boards, e.g., Kearney
Housing Agency, have their own appointed professional staff. Nothing herein is
intended to change the employer-employee relationship established by law in
these cases.
Section 5. Modification of
By-laws. Each citizen committee will rectify any inconsistencies between
its current by-laws and this policy.
PASSED AND APPROVED THIS 14TH DAY OF JUNE, 2005.

REPORTS
SPRAYING FOR MOSQUITOES
City Manager Michael Morgan stated
that with the wet weather, there have been questions raised as to whether the
City will be fogging for mosquitoes this year. The City will not be
fogging for mosquitoes; they will be working with citizens in a variety of
locations where larvaecides will be applied and will work through that process
as has been done in past years.
SOLICITATION FROM PUBLIC ON
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
The Capital Improvement
Suggestion Cards are at the printer and will be distributed with the water
bills in the near future. They will also be available to interested
parties and be advertised through the media so that we can evaluate that
input. They are also putting together a draft of listening groups that we
have referred to in the past. We will also be asking Council to assist
staff in going out and gathering input in the next couple of months to
determine what people perceive as needs of the community.
PARK & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
COMMENDED
Council member Buschkoetter
commended the Parks Department. The Kearney Girl’s Fast Pitch Association
had a tournament which is their major fund raiser scheduled for last
weekend. It was border line as to whether or not it would be rained out
and the Parks Department did a good job of drying up the fields, which allowed
the tournament to happen. It would be a major blow if that event had to
be cancelled. He wanted to commend them on a job well done on the
recreation side as well as the park side.
Council member Clouse commended
the Parks Department for the outstanding job they did at Yanney Park last
weekend in connection with the Yanney Heritage Park Day. He believed that
Yanney Park is definitely an asset to this community. He encouraged
others to attend other events there. Mayor Hadley also agreed and hoped
there would be more events like that one on a regular basis at Yanney Park.
