Uh the next board of alderman meeting and public hearing is Thursday, March 26, 2026. And um a simple majority vote of the commission shall be necessary to constitute a positive recommendation to the board of alderman. All right, that takes care of our

notices. Next uh on the agenda is approval of our minutes. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, I should Mr. Mr. Chairman, if I may, um, Commissioner Abbott requested that we speak loudly into the microphones. Um, unfortunately, she's on the beach somewhere. You can't hear, so she requested that we speak directly in there, so she can. Okay, thank you. I will I will get a little closer here and hopefully that helps. Yeah.

Okay. Uh, next is our approval of minutes uh from the February 3rd, 2026 meeting. Did anyone have any questions regarding the minutes? None. Okay. Uh, so I'll go ahead and move that we approve the uh minutes from the February 3rd meeting. Can I get a second? Second. We have a second. All in favor? I.

Any opposed? Okay, the minutes are approved. Next, uh we will move on to our public comments uh section of the agenda. And I I don't think we have any public comments. So, uh we'll move on to old business, of which there's none. So, next is new business. And we start with case 2026, SUP2, a petition by Leonard Walter of St. Louis Marble Company for a special use permit to reduce the minimum required parking for an office warehouse. The property is addressed as 1565 Fen Park Drive and a zone BP3 business park district. Uh Amy, did you have a summary for us?

Sure. Um this is a request to reduce the required parking for a new office warehouse building at 15 65 Fen Park Drive. This will be in conjunction with the following case, case 2026, SP01. Um it is worth noting that this special use permit if it is not approved the site plan cannot be considered as it would not comply with uh the required parking um under the code. So the petitioner is proposing to remove the existing 14,000 square ft building that was constructed in 1973 and redevelop the property with a new 23,000 foot office warehouse building, new off- streetet parking area and new drive entrance that's proposed on the north. The property received a variance from the board of adjustment in January for the proposed off- streetet parking area to encroach the landscape buff buffer on the prop on the north lot line um and reduce that buffer to zero. So in order to accommodate the larger building on the lot, the minimum parking spaces cannot be provided for the use. So the code requires three spaces for every thousand square feet of office space and one space for every thousand square ft of warehouse space. Um according to the plans, a minimum of 44 spaces are needed for the use. However, only 24 spaces are provided. Um a reduction in the minimum parking can be approved by special use permit. Um and the request must include a parking study showing justification for the reduction and that the reduction will not adversely impact future use um of the subject or adjacent properties. So the required parking study was submitted that concludes the proposed 24 spaces will accommodate the demands of the current tenant St. Louis Marble Company. Um, this business has limited overlapping shifts. Um, has predictable and intermittent customer and visitor traffic. Um, the study does not address the future uses of the property though. So, any future use or tenant um that doesn't meet the parking requirements would also need a special use permit with the associated parking study since the proposed site development does not

appear that any future parking expansion would be possible on the lot. Um, so again, any future use or tenant that cannot um show that they can meet the required parking would have to come in with a special use permit and a parking study. And if that SUP and parking study can't show that the reduced parking is justified through that SUP and parking study. Um so for instance, if a future use uh would come in that had say 35 employees um on the maximum shift there the 24 spaces wouldn't accommodate those 35 employees. So that user would then have to rely on um one the availability of adjacent parking lots that could accommodate the overflow and um two that those properties that could accommodate the overflow would be willing to enter into a shared parking agreement for the overflow since uh street parking is not permitted on Fen Park. So that is something to take into consideration when considering the special use permit.

Okay. Thank you. Um, so we received a text of the summary of the parking study. Um, I assume the city received the whole parking study. Um, the parking study that was included in what was included in your packet was the um the parking study that was submitted with the special use permit. Okay. It is a so if I'm understanding correctly pages yeah there's not there's not any more voluminous study that was received by the city that kind of talks about the

extent of the observations and all the other work that went into reaching the conclusions. That's correct. Okay. Interesting. Um got it. And the number of parking spaces available on the site today is like I mean I looked at a satellite image it looked like it was in the 30s but I don't know if I counted correctly. I believe uh I don't know the the number right offand but I believe that that's close to two.

Okay. And then I think the other question I have and then I'll make sure other questions can get answered is um well I lost it. Uh oh the the parking study was done I think you mentioned for this same business that St. Louis Marble operates there today and the parking study I think proclaims to have observed the actual sort of traffic patterns within St. Louis Marble operating as it is today and we're expecting St. Louis Marble to continue to be the operator in the new building. That's correct.

Okay. Wanted to make sure that was clear. We have other questions for Amy and and then we can also ask the petitioner to come up. Do we have a petitioner in the audience that would be willing to answer some questions? Okay. If you wouldn't mind uh coming to the podium and uh stating your name and address for the record and uh we do have one uh commissioner who is calling in. Um so uh please try to speak into the microphone so she can hear you.

My name is Leonard Walter. I am president and owner of St. St Marble Company. This is Sean Ackley project. Basically, St. Louis Marble's been operating at that particular location since we are originally heavily into manufacturing, but through the years have gotten more and more into warehousing distribution. The design of this new building is really being designed for current production and future production as a warehousing distribution center, not as heavily officebased, heavily personnel facility. So I guess in our mind, even if we are no longer the tenant, it's not being designed to have the necessity of a large amount of parking on the north side of the building. Someone was asking about the parking space. There were more parking spaces on the north side of the building, but that's currently going to be used to access.

Okay. Um, so can you tell us how many employees you have today? 12 to 14. Okay. And with the uh office space that you are planning, do you expect that that number will grow? Oh, okay. Um, so you're saying the nature of the business is changing a little bit uh to more warehousing. Um, and I'm sorry, can you can you describe a little bit what you're saying the difference will be in your business once the building is complete?

Traditionally, we were manufacturing cultured marble. Okay. Bathroom sinks, shower walls, and tubs. We actually no longer manufacture any of those items. Um, we purchase those offsite and then distribute them. And we were pretty much based locally before,

but now we're distributing throughout the United States as we're also distributing cabinets, kitchen, kitchen countertops. Uh, we're doing quite a few apartment complexes throughout the United States. So that's why we don't have a need for more employees and a lot of these a lot of these items may never even hit our facility. It doesn't require more manpower. Definitely doesn't require the manpower that it took to manufacture the product that we did. Okay. So your warehouse space is expected to be really just to help with this distribution.

Exactly. Are there other questions? So, would you pronounce your last name again, please? Walter. W T E R. Walter. Okay. So, yes. Um, you know, as you can tell, I think the city of Fenton has been a pretty good steward to the over 650 businesses that we've had in the city um for years. Um, and it sounds like your business has quite frankly grown and and getting a little bigger as well, right? Correct.

Yeah. So, so that's a good thing. What I see here, unfortunately, is a situation where um we and I don't I don't know what the business plan, what the business model is, but as far as I can tell, the building is just a little bit too big for the lot to make um the city comfortable. uh at least my vote the I look at the nature of the business being manufactured marble and so forth I wonder you know why can't that be stored outside and have plenty ample parking out there but again that's not why we're here um I think what I'm seeing here is the reduction in the parking um and I think we have to look down the to the future and say if Mr. Walter isn't here and another company comes in, have we tied our hands? If they want to do something different and in the question in my mind is we have so I don't think that we can necessarily just look at this particular company but we have to look down the road and I don't think anybody can tell whether um Marble is going to be in business tomorrow or 20 years from now and as far as Mr. Walter said his business is growing. So maybe they'll outgrow this and down the road and need to, you know, an additional big bigger space. So I I really have concerns with the parking. We love the business.

Um I know that I've talked to one individual who has some concerns on the north for backing a tractor trailer in uh the property owner adjacent to that. Um so you know, those are just a couple of comments. I read the I read the study the uh as you had mentioned the traffic study and it just indicates that you know it the parking will sustain this company but it really doesn't speak to the future. So I I have some concerns there. I wish I wish we didn't have to to be dealing with this but I see a real issue.

Uh Secretary Abbott if you can mute your side. We might be getting a little feedback on your end. Um, yes, if you'd like to address those questions.

Be happy to. Going farther into our particular process, we sell a considerable amount of baseball mounds, an average of 16 ft in length. And you can basically compare that size to our neighbor Zickle Flooring. Zickle Flooring has similar square footage as we do with no more parking spaces than we do. And the reason that that works for them is they are pushing around large rolls of carpeting on a continual basis. So there are plenty of businesses that need that large amount of warehouse to move what it is they're warehousing without a massive amount of employees and and and I've walked a lot of the businesses just count parking spots and it's not an uncommon number of parking spots that we're requesting at all. So, um I think to address the the parking study, um was there a more robust study conducted that included um you know, the sort of data and other things one would expect to have been collected that um you know, helped support the conclusions. the the summary we received seemed to be a lot of conclusory statements just sort of saying that the parking works without any actual like sort of backup information to show how the those conclusions were reached and is there an underlying study that provides that extra information

observation Okay. Um, got it. So, I think to sort of reiterate where the mayor is coming from that makes this challenging is um assuming that we were comfortable and and this will go to a vote by the way. So, to the extent that anyone's expressing an opinion, that isn't a conclusion until we actually vote. But um I I understand the mayor's perspective in that, you know, what he is saying is is once you've put a permanent structure the size of your proposed building on here, if you're no longer the tenant, this becomes a potential challenge for the city because the next tenant may uh reconfigure the or seek to reconfigure the interior. space for a different potential purpose and um that parking will no longer be adequate for them. So do you actually own the real estate and uh so the you know the ability the alien ability of the ability to sell it to a future owner may be somewhat limited by what you're asking for if the city is not ultimately willing to approve the parking for the next tenant. And um it's not our job to necessarily protect you from that, but we do have to protect the the business district from the risk that you could end up with a subsequent tenant who wants to do something different in the space and then there's just not enough space within that lot to actually handle the parking. And so that is I think the concern we have. Um and it's not like we're off by just a

few spots here. It's it's like half. Um, so I appreciate the concerns and I'm honestly a little torn myself on this one. Um, I guess I'll Are there other questions for the petitioners? So, a thought I had Well, we'll have to we'll have to have a motion at some point. And the two motions we can consider are uh a motion to continue, which allows you to come back next month with more information potentially, or a motion to vote, which could result in a yes or a no. And um until someone moves, we we don't know. Um, I think uh I am willing to move that we continue this if you guys can produce more data uh indicating how the parking is adequate for your business. But as I hear myself saying that, I'm not even sure if that really addresses the mayor's concern, which is the next resident and the size of the building. So, I don't even know if I'm going to get a second if I if I do move for that. Um, I don't know. I'll put that motion out there. Does any does anyone want to second a motion that would uh allow them to come back and provide more data to try and support the parking that they're um requesting? Okay. There's no second on that. So, are there other questions or comments before we move for a potential vote?

I guess just have you guys looked at other options of adding additional parking or maybe reducing the size of Yeah. Have you guys looked at it and other options? We could get a variance on the south side of the building to park on the south side of the building. We could add some spaces. Okay. I mean, I guess that's an option. You'd have to run that past Amy, I guess, that works. I I wouldn't approve that here or anything along those lines. No,

no. Variance would go before the board of adjustment. So if if we were to vote and the result were no, it would would it prevent any sort of coming back to the city with a revised plan? Okay. And it goes No, they could always come back. And as you know, you're a recommending body, so it just goes to the board of alderman based on your recommendation, right? Okay. But does it instigate a resubmission of another fee

if you are denied a withdrawal and then do a new application? Yes, it would. It would be a new application for the entire site. I mean a variance would you if you applied for a new variance you would need a new application for that. I don't think you have a pending one. So yes, that would be a new application and new fee. If you went forward and the site plan was denied, yes, it would then be a new application and fee again.

We haven't I think this is more for Amy. Um, if they were to adjust the southside parking and did away with some of that buffer area, how do we approach that? Is that a variance of the buffer zone? If they can't meet the buffer requirements, it yeah, there would uh it would have to you it would have to get a variance if it could meet the buffer requirements. Then um how many businesses down there that that area actually have the buffer zones the way they're supposed to? That pretty standard? I mean

that I I don't know um right off hand. I know that some of those properties in that area used to be zoned um um under a planned district which did have um some very specific um setback requirements um for the for the parking. So I without doing a a study I I wouldn't have that information. I was just curious. Thank you. not in that particular

I I think Mr. Chairman the the issue here is that the almost the entire lot is being um used for the building. Um that seems to be the biggest hangup. Unfortunately for us, the board of adjustment approved that with zero setbacks, which is why we're here. To me, once again, and with all due respect to St. Louis Marble, um this probably is a good planning. Um we can look back at what exists today. Uh and in this case, this building was built like 1973. Um, as time progresses and new buildings come up and there's changes and everything, we adhere to our our zoning codes and our our plans. Um, you know, and and in this case, while I'm sure it's going to be a great building, nice building, um, again, we have to look into the future. And I I I know what you're attempting to do to try to solve the problem and help Mr. Walter, but I I I don't see a way around it. There's just not enough property there unless we, you know, combine two lots, and I don't think that's likely building that was built in 1973, which is becoming functionally obsolete, wouldn't it be better for the community to have a brand new building on that lot?

Absolutely. But one that is proportional and meets our setbacks. And that's why over the years we have taken that into consideration. In some cases we've reduced setbacks. In some cases we've increased setbacks for the continuous flow uh of these properties. And so and nothing against you personally and I I understand you're trying to maximize the use of your property but quite frankly there's no circulation here. Um, and again, what do we do for a company that come in comes in down the road and they love the square footage, but they're going to have 50 60 employees. There's again nowhere for them to park. So, now we've created another problem for ourselves. Do we leave this building sit empty because they can't meet the parking requirements or do we just say, "Yeah, we'll we'll give it to you because it it's been here." And again, that's where I think our planning comes into play.

Yeah, I'm I'm at the end of the day, we all have to vote. I I do understand what mayor is saying about the future uses here. Um, and I think Secretary Abbott is uh wanting to speak too. Uh, go ahead.

Thank you very much, sir. Uh, I do have a question and I don't know if if if I'm allowed to ask this type of question, but you know, we were talking about the parking space spaces there. My concern is the trucks that would be coming in delivering the goods to the warehouse. And Amy, could you point out on here where the drive I think I know where the driveway is coming off of um, Finn Park. But I'm I'm just thinking to myself, you know, most most of the um semis are rather large and I'm concerned how they're going to get back there and get into those um docking um the docking stations back there. There's two. It almost appears to me they'd have to back in in order to get be able to back up to the

Yeah, that's correct. They would have here and this could just be my looking for them to turn around. And who is to the north? Uh, let me see. The north is where the parking spots are, correct? No, the north is where the drive aisle is. So, you're correct. to

Yes. So, the the trucks would have to back in off of Fen Park and they do have the adequate uh maneuvering area. We require 75 to maneuver into the docking um the dock and loading spaces. They do have um they will be able to provide that 75 ft. Um the parking is here on the east side of the building, east side of the lot. It's the Eid. Okay. Okay. Good. So, but they are going to have to back in from Pen Park. Okay. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for that.

Okay. Any other questions? Okay. Um so, uh I think that uh the way this typically works is before we would uh move for a vote, we do need to make sure the city has recommended some um conditions that would apply uh should this um receive a uh a vote in the affirmative. So, I'm going to um go ahead and read those conditions uh onto the record. And if you could just acknowledge those, please. And then we'll we'll go ahead and move this to a vote. Um first, uh the special use permit is solely for St. Louis Marble Company to reduce the minimum required parking from 44 to 24 spaces as indicated on the revised site plan dated February 19, 2026. You acknowledge. Thank you. Approval of the subject SUP is reliant on the approval of the site plan submitted under case 2026 SP01 and compliance with all other applicable city ordinances. Okay. So based on uh those conditions, I'll go ahead and move for a vote to approve case 2026 SUP2, a petition by Leonard Walter of St. Lewis Marble Company for a special use permit to reduce the minimum required parking for an office warehouse. The property is addressed as 1565 Fen Park Drive and is zone BP3 Business Park District. Uh, can I get a second?

A second. We have a second. Uh, can we go ahead and do a roll call vote, Amy? Chairperson Yman. Nay. Vice Chairperson Cheryl. Nay. Secretary Abbott. I think we lost her. We lost her. Uh, Mayor Morath, nay. Alderman Harrell, nay. Commissioner Whisbrock, nay. Commissioner Vorhees, nay. Commissioner Glover, nay. Commissioner Nelson, no. Commissioner Vilkkey, nay. The motion is not approved.

Okay. Um, well, as the mayor said, uh, this is not intended in any way to be a reflection on your business. Uh we are grateful to have companies like St. Louis Marble who have been in Fenton as long as you have been. Um I realize when you feel constrained by the lot that that's difficult and uh I think we all collectively hope that you can find an arrangement that'll allow for um the business to continue to grow. But um hopefully with some modification that can allow for uh a better overall usage of the lot relative to the parking.

Um because you are a recommending body, we I still um can go through the the um site plan review um if you'd like. Sure. Yes, let's do that. Okay. Um I guess that's kind of the best way to do it just so um it's on the record. Yeah. Well, otherwise if you don't actually move forward, it will stay on the agenda. Don't have a vote. Okay. Too late to withdraw the site plan review. No, you could withdraw. Um,

now just to make sure it's clear on how the city's process works, this is a recommending body. So the board of alderman observes our recommendation, but they are not bound by it. So the fact that we voted no does not mean that the board of alderman will reach the same conclusion. They're just taking our consideration uh as a recommendation for how they should vote. Um the mayor sits on with the board of alderman and is a voting member as well as uh yes only in the event of a tie.

Oh, only in the event of a tie. Okay. So, I'm not I'm not trying to suggest in any way what the outcome will be. I just want you to be aware of that. I'm just trying to get my $4,000 Um I that I mean once it does come before the planning and zoning commission I don't have the authority to do a re a refund. That would be something that the board would have to consider whether or not they would want to consider that. Not this board. No, the board of alderman. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. So um so I'm not sure how to advise you on that. Amy, does it is it is it we come back with a different site plan, is that another re up for the site plan approval? In other words, if we go back and figure out another way to come up these 10 more parking space, reduction of square footage, that would be a completely different site. I mean, if if you asked to continue the matter until you can bring back a new site plan, um it wouldn't require a new application and submittal. Um but if it were to go forward with a vote, um yeah, then it would have to come back as a as a new

So his I think his question is is if he continues this, is there another $4,000 fee? No. If he continues it, then you can submit an entire new plan and it would stay with as this application. Is is that what you were asking? Yes, sir. Yeah. So, you could also continue this and wait to see how the SUV that is going on. Yeah. The SUP will go before the board. You could continue the site plan review until after the board meeting to see if the if the SUP is approved or come back with amended. So, Mr. Mr. Chairman, can we get vote?

Not not a vote, but an acknowledgement from the petitioner that um he'd like to continue or whatever he's looking to do. Okay. Yes. If you could just state for the record how you would is it your preference that we continue your uh special use permit for the site plan review? I'm sorry. Just the site plan review. Would you like are you asking for a continuation? Yes, I'd like to have a continuation of my site plan review.

Okay. So, uh let the record show uh that a request to continue the site plan review uh was made. Um I think we should still move uh and and vote yes on uh whether or not um the the commission agrees. So, I will move that we continue case 2026 SP1, a petition by uh Leonard Walter of St. Lewis Marble Company for site plan review of a new office warehouse building at 1565 Fen Park Drive. The property is zoned BP3 Business Park District. Can I get a second? I have a second. Um I guess we can do a roll call vote. Chairperson Yman

I. Commissioner Nelson I. Vice Chairperson Cheryl I. Secretary Abbott She's still dropped. I'm I'm seeing her face on there. So I get Okay. I don't see her over here. Okay. So she must still be absent. Okay. Mayor Morath I. Alderman Herrell. Hi. Commissioner Whisprock. Hi. Commissioner Borhees. Hi. Commissioner Glover. Hi. Commissioner Bilicky. I. Motion approved to continue the case. Okay. So, uh that continues the um site plan review. So, I think that concludes our discussions tonight on your two matters. Uh, thank you and good luck on reworking it.

Y Okay. Uh, so that concludes our new business. Um, next we have announcements. Uh, first is our report from the community development department. Um, we haven't received any petitions for April, but I am expecting uh at least four by the end of the week. Yay. Um and just a reminder that the April meeting will be on Wednesday, April 8th, um instead of Tuesday because of the municipal election. Okay.

All right. Uh next is a report from the chairperson. Um I do not have anything special to discuss. I've already uh talked about how much I enjoyed watching the Olympics. Uh next is our report from the mayor. So, I always like to think of something that pertains to P&Z, but we don't really have anything other than I think you guys know it all. Um, if you have an opportunity, it's going to warm up here in the next couple of days in between the rains. Um, do yourself a favor and go look at uh Fabic Nature Preserve and some of the parks around town. Westside Park, Bud Wild Park. staff and our contractors have been heavily working to clear out the honeysuckle and the undergrowth and all. And a lot of people ask, well, you know, why are you doing that? And our conservation uh agent will tell you that used to be a 100-year-old oak, that used to be a 70-year-old oak, but they're all getting choked out and killed. So, our forests are are going away unless we do something. So, that's a real positive thing. Um, I can tell you the city administrator, even Amy here, has been out in the field helping and working. Um, as I told you before there, um, we're going to revamp all of the restrooms inside and out, all the pavilions inside out, painting, flooring, lighting, and so forth. The board's going to discuss more of that Thursday night, and we'll have a more definitive answer. Uh, but I think I think this summer is really going to be uh um you know, kind of exciting to see all the the upgrades and all. So, again, it's your city. Go out, take a look, tell us what you think, tell us what you don't like, and and we can take it back. But again, I want to thank you for for all that you do for the city. Um, sometimes it's not always fun and easy, but it's our job.

Thank you. Uh next is our report from the planning and zoning liaison.

Uh thank you sir. Last last meeting the the board of alderman approved with conditions case 2026 the SUP for Muhammad Al Kuri of Night Al tobacco. That was approved. Um that was at 794 Gravoy Bluff Boulevard. And then also approved was case 2026 the REZ01 consideration to request that certain properties from St. Louis County NU non- urban district to the city of Fenton NU not urban district and I won't list all the addresses but it it passed and that's all I have. Was that an active meeting?

No. No. Okay. No, the PNZ was the busy one. Okay. Yeah, we did we did have some of those that were concerned, especially the the cot folks. They came up, but you know, nothing had changed in there. We made certain of that that they knew that. So, um yeah, I think everybody's happy and that I've talked to and understand and are appreciative. Great. Okay. Uh a report from other commissioners. Any anyone else in the commission have a report? is what's going on.

I wish there was something coming. Um, we have not had any any sort of nobody sniffing around for any development of the Stratford property.

Um, I think you if correct me if I'm wrong, um, you're looking to clean up uh, Super 8 and and Motel 6, continue that cleanup of those properties. Yeah. Um uh the Motel 6 um were finishing out their demolition um cleanup. Um and the Super 8 uh are get they were getting a new um general contractor that will be for the home two suites. Um and they're uh finalizing some uh uh financing um with a new contractor. I noticed uh over the weekend there were folks in there.
