26:44 – 27:41Speaker 1

Hi, I'm Red Williams. I'm the owner of Co- Rare Dance Studio, which you just got talking about. Um, I am currently in U City. I opened up my studio um April 5th of 2021. We've outgrown the space and um recently been looking to upgrade and get a bigger space for my company. Um, I have a commercial hip-hop dance company um ranging from ages five to adult. Um, dancers, dancers go from my company to pursue um professional careers in the commercial hip-hop industry. Um, I currently have dancers that are working with Kendrick Lamar, uh, Siza, Beyonce, um, Lady Gaga, JLo, um, just to name a few. Yeah. So, um, what we have here with Code Red in St. Louis, Missouri is very special. Um, and dancers definitely, you know, love to, um, love to dance. There's a huge market for dance in the city. So, we just outgrown the space and we're just looking for a bigger space to, um, house the studio and our company.

28:41 – 29:59Speaker 1

Uh, next on the agenda is citizen comments. Anybody in the public care to address the board. Now is the time to do so. All we ask is that you come to the day, state your name and your address, and you'll be given up to three minutes. Hi, my name is uh Clayton Keaney and my address is 2654 Dorothy Avenue. Um I was um looking today. I noticed they started the project to uh mediate the runoff from the gravel parking lot onto the adjacent parking lot. Um so when I got home today, I walked over there, took a look at it, and I have some concerns with the construction. Um, so I was under the impression they were going to be digging a swale to accommodate the water that comes off. They seem to be adding dirt into our little flood plane back there. So they're adding dirt and they're creating a dam in between the two properties, which basically it's damning off the storm drain from my parking lot flows to that storm drain. And so it's going to create a lake flood problem there if uh if you impede the storm water flow uh the way they have it set up now. So I just wanted to mention that while it's ongoing. Thank you.

29:54 – 30:37Speaker 1

Great. Thanks Clayton. Anybody else? Have anybody online? Okay. Wonderful. We will move on to mayor and alderman reports. First up is the mayor. I have no report. Alderman Pluffka. No report.

First is bill number 666. Could we get a first read by title only, please? Bill number 666, an ordinance amending title one, chapter 145 of the code of ordinances of the city of Brentwood regarding the city's open meeting and record policy. First reading. And who's presenting on that? I am okay. Okay.

32:35 – 34:25Speaker 1

Okay. So, as a municipal government, of course, we are uh mandated by the Missouri Sunshine Law um which states that every record or meeting of the city shall be open. Um however, there are a number of exemptions that allow us to close our records and meetings. The most commonly used here um and by most cities are uh subsection one legal, subsection two real estate, subsection 3 personnel, and then subsection 12 contract negotiations. Uh during the previous legislative session, a few amendments were made to the sunshine law which prompts our need to make changes to um our ordinance as it is adopted in our code as chapter 145. Um the changes in summary are uh they've they've added a few exemptions and made some changes to some um which are reports of allegations of improper governmental activities. And these again are just in summary. Uh records that identify security systems and access codes. Uh records that contain protected information of minors, uh protected customer information that may be used for parks facilities, uh and info regarding endangered plants and animal species. Um they also made uh changes as it relates to uh applicable fees. Um they've specified time frames when uh clarification is requested uh where they did not exist previously. Um so they've given us now 90 days or 150 days uh if the request exceeds $1,000. Um and the the additional change that they've made is now that they require payment. It's one of the things that you you know we've kind of done because uh it was not stated uh but to require payment in advance before you uh disseminate the records and uh it's again 90 days before we can close it and 150 days if it exceeds $1,000.

34:25 – 35:10Speaker 1

Any questions? All right. Thank you. We will take that up for a second read at the May 18th meeting. Uh, next up is bill number 668. Could we get a first read by title only, please? Bill number 668, an ordinance approving the site development plan and authorizing the issuance of a new conditional use permit for Code Red Dance Company to operate an enclosed recreational use dance studio establishment at 8516 through 8518 Manchester Road in the shopping center addressed as 8500 Manchester Road in the M Man Manchester Corridor Commercial District. First reading.

35:06 – 35:50Speaker 1

Great. Thank you. Any questions? Okay. Uh I think we're just doing a first read tonight. Okay. Well, that being the case, we uh will take that up at the next meeting on May 18th where the board will vote on that. Thank you so much. Uh and finally, the last item under new business is bill number 669. Could we get a first read by title only, please? Bill number 669, an ordinance approving a subdivision plat to subdivide property located at one Brentwood Place to create two out parcels within the PD planned development overlay district. First reading. Thank you, Whitney. Or who's who's it?

35:52 – 37:04Speaker 1

Uh good evening everyone. This is probably the least exciting agenda item that we had today. Uh but my name is Patrick Eckleamp. I'm an attorney with Hush Blackwell uh representing HRP Brentwood LLC. They are an affiliate of Havford Retail Properties which uh purchased the Brentwood Prominade back in uh June of 2025. And so I'm before you uh here this evening uh in connection with a subdivision of a parcel which is um I don't know said I don't I'll just keep going until she tells me to stop. Um, so if you guys, as you guys obviously are aware, the Brentwood Prominade is uh like where the Target is, the Whole Foods, the Ulta, the Trader Joe's, all of that. So that that development is actually two parcels. It's it's the Target is one parcel. It's about 9 acres. And then the rest of it, which kind of loops around it, is all one parcel. That's 15 acres. And so the request before you this evening um is to subdivide what is now the UNMB bank and then the Chase parcel into two part there'll be two individual parcels there. Um and so this was this recommendation and I have some handouts if you guys want to see what parcels I'm talking about. if you guys know.

37:17 – 39:02Speaker 1

I'm good. I know which ones they are. Yeah. kind of a visual person so I think that kind of helps to see. So uh as I mentioned the request before you uh is to eventually pass bill 6609 uh to approve the subdivision of one Brentwood prominade to create the new two outlots that we just talked about there. Um, I'd like to note that the planning commission took this up at their last meeting and approved this. Uh, I recommended that this be approved by the board by a vote of seven to nothing. Um, I also wanted to just reiterate, as I know at the Brentwood Prominade, this is not changing any of the uses. It's not changing the parking. It's not changing the landscaping. It's not changing the lighting. Uh, all of the properties will continue to be subject to that plan district overlay and all of the development conditions that are on that parcel. So there's no request for a signage change or anything like that. Um the property does have cross access easements that are be in perpetuity. So there will be the parcels will continue to be able to uh traverse with vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Um and just one more thing to reiterate, we're not messing with the target parcel. It's just that one parcel. So we're not adjusting the boundary lines there. Uh because you'll probably notice it's a little funky right now. the the property line is very close to the existing building, but that's the way it is currently. Um, so if you think about we're just cutting it right down the middle there. So, uh, happy to answer any questions and would appreciate your favorable recommendation. Thank you very much.

39:00 – 39:32Speaker 1

Thank you. Just a couple of Oh, Alderman Pluffka. I didn't mean to interrupt. Did you go right ahead? You're probably going to steal my thunder. Go right ahead. Okay. So, the parcel that's farthest to the west, which is not part of this, is just a parking lot currently, correct? Yes. Yes, Alderman. Correct. That is So, there's about 44 space parking spaces, I think you're talking about, just to the west of that um UNMB bank parcel. Okay. That's not that's not part of this.

39:28 – 40:01Speaker 1

Okay. So I am cons I am not concerned I guess but I have I'm curious as to the viability of the parking that's along the western edge of the eastern portion of the eastern parcel the western edge park parking along the building. It seems like the dividing line is immediately behind those spaces. And unless there's some kind of an agreement between the two parcels that they would share access, would those parking spaces go away to those?

39:59 – 40:44Speaker 1

No, sir. No, nothing. Uh it's kind of funny. When I first uh uh called Whitney to talk to her about this, she's like, "If you're doing anything with the parking, it's not a starter. Don't don't don't come back." So, uh yeah. So, nothing is very perceptive. Yeah. Yeah. She know she's not leading me to slaughter hopefully. Um, no, nothing's changing, alderman. There's no parking and there is there's easements in place that have to remain as well as part of the agreement. So, there's cross access easements for vehicular and pedestrian and no reduction in parking. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thanks. And you had Oh, I'm sorry. Aldwoman Go, go ahead. No, I was just going to ask the why behind carving up the parcels. I mean, they're kind of they're you're saying they're integrated. We're not messing with any parking on any structure. What's the

40:42 – 41:26Speaker 1

Yeah. Yeah. So the divide so as it's just part of their asset management strategy uh if they could put different loans on those parcels because right now it kind of loops around the target and it has in the real estate develop in the real estate world like a lot of institutional buyers or institutional capital like to just have like a single tenant bank as a tenant when they're making a loan or rather than having to consider what's going on at the Trader Joe's and the Ulta and all of that. So uh that's really the main the main thing. It's not for sale. Uh they're not talking about selling it. It's just for the asset management. Uh and it is the two buildings would be on the new parcel. Like it is each parcel I'm sorry. Each building would have its own parcel. Okay. So we're turning the

41:24 – 42:02Speaker 1

So it it basically taking that one 15 acre parcel turning it into the two bank parcels and then the remainder which would have be about 13.9 acres or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. So you're pulling those those two out of because you had testified earlier that there are two particles. There's the target and then the one the one remaining one. That's correct, Mayor. So you're pulling two of those out of that one remaining one and then wanting to subdivide those those. Yeah. So the one Well, are you leaving one of them still in with the other parcel? No, no, there will be that one is going to go to three.

42:00 – 42:16Speaker 1

Okay, perfect. That's what I need to know. And secondly, when we talk about subdividing lots, we just want to make sure that they comply with the the minimum requirements for the lots. Um, I'm assuming Whitney that they meet those requirements.

42:14 – 43:01Speaker 1

Land development overlay district has a minimum lot size of one acre. However, it does state that the lot size may be waved by the board of alderman if the parcel in question has unique characteristics uh such as significant topography, uh significant trees or wooded areas, wetlands, flood planes or soil conditions, water courses, utility easements, unusual shape, or if the board should determine such a waiver to be in the general public interest. And as this is remains within the Brentwood Prominade district um development and the overall development, none of that has changed. So that's why they're making this request. The two lot parcels would be 0.53 acres and 0.67 acres.

42:59 – 43:39Speaker 1

Okay. So the minimum is one acre and they don't comply with that. Correct. Okay. Just want to make sure I understand. Okay. Uh any other questions? If I could just make one point on that final one. Yeah. So that did come up. That's a good point that that did come up at the planning commission uh meeting and we did address that. Uh there are other parcels within the same development overlay that are less than one acre. So there was a concern about uh introducing precedent with this decision, but there's already several that are under one acre. So just want to I have the same zoning designation. So just wanted to make that clear. And uh if you have any questions, I'm I'm right here and I'll be back on the 18th. Thank you so much. Thank you very much.

43:35 – 44:12Speaker 1

Alderman go Gold. Sorry. Um, if if you could just explain to me the the reason that it it seems to me I know that you say there's no interest in selling them or anything or changing them, but what is dividing them into two very small parcels do for future use potential? um and and how does how you know what's the what's the advantage of other than your loan situation now, but what's what's the advantage of of future applications or disadvantages of having it divided up like this?

44:10 – 44:53Speaker 1

Yeah. Well, I I can't really think of any advantages off the top of my head in terms of future uses because they're just there two banks there now. Um, as this was discussed at the planning commission as well, um, this would actually either further necessitate if the ch if the use does change, we would be coming back before the board to get like a conditional use permit approval because then the the lots would be of a smaller size. So, we'd have to come back and just like you had to do with the dance studio to make sure that everything was compliant and get a conditional use or a waiver of some kind. So, yeah, it's mostly it's again it's for the financing. There's no intention. They like the you know low um velocity I guess you would say users at that at that site.
