Craig Bennett of Miller & Associates presented the application on behalf of Gamma XV LLC (owner Russell Hilliard). Bennett said the request would enable an adaptive reuse of the property while maintaining its historic architecture. The site is within an LDR future land use designation, he said, and the requested R-1D zoning is compatible with that designation.

Conditions attached to the conditional-use permit include hours of operation limited to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, a minimum of eight off-street parking stalls including one accessible stall, a maintenance agreement for the building's elevator, and modifications to an existing ADA ramp (the applicant told council an additional four feet of ramp length would be needed to meet slope requirements).

Bennett said the property already has an elevator (installed in 2008, last inspected August 2024) and existing garage and driveway stalls; his presentation included several parking-layout options that would yield between eight and ten stalls depending on use of the garage and striping. He and council members noted that most of the applicant's clients operate remotely and that visitor traffic would be limited; Bennett said he expected an average of five to eight employees on site at typical times.

Several council members commented on the property's historic prominence. Council member Tammy noted parallels with adaptive reuse in other cities; another council member said the house has been on the National Register since 1983. Staff clarified enforcement of the permit would be complaint-driven: code compliance would respond to resident complaints and could revoke the permit if conditions were repeatedly violated. Staff also said permit approvals run with the land but that staff would review ownership changes and record new owner information for enforcement purposes.

Council members voted to suspend the three-reading rule and adopt Ordinance No. 87-23 rezoning the property; they then approved Ordinance No. 87-24 adopting the conditional-use permit for general office. Roll call votes recorded unanimous \"aye\" votes for both measures.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kearney - City Council Meeting - Feb 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council rezoned a historic property near 30th Street from R-1 to R-1D and approved a conditional-use permit to allow general office use in the Hilliard house, with conditions including hours of operation, parking and ADA modifications.","taxTitle","Kearney City, Buffalo County, Nebraska","taxId",56920,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6682459,"Council approves subdivision to transfer Whiskey Creek parking strip, vacates Lot 1 Fastville Second Edition",202,56000,258000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2273366-7f9887766883d4ee055da695826db7e0&start=56&end=258","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2273366-7f9887766883d4ee055da695826db7e0/thumbnail_56000.jpg","/articles/6682459/Kearney-City/Buffalo-County/Nebraska/Council-approves-subdivision-to-transfer-Whiskey-Creek-parking-strip-vacates-Lot-1-Fastville-Second-Edition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6682459-f0f0421394bc56e31a967290bd59a19f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770432814&Signature=UuTsaTWjzFsLPLTsqOxjvqh7vX6XCvuSixP8KbpGDcPzrDjTMnuXToY9owegxhly2tvfyPaZo2JY4jXVuN3nBeYr25NtPf8ybKqeQUQoxIrq6tvSl1-Mfr4e2nhjzbHwraI67uYqibYpGWUV4r-RUMKOkQYPJH3Rob6IKWYIEPJjy99VqByUonM~1QYB~q5QCE7LNxF7nh~STi~Ketzv9H58C~-tG8px332kOoLRLJp~b23Tgto-TBT-wpm0RbEALBYj~SjUIKPUz66Vo09716uB8rjXprLsaxIkafb~dEHLTsAnn6c5rWrlUUtTI5HJ21v2IJdf7G6MeBsh9AuURA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kearney City Council voted unanimously to vacate Lot 1 of Fastville Second Edition and approve the final plat and subdivision agreement for the Gardner Schroer addition, a step the city said will allow Whiskey Creek restaurant to acquire a narrow strip of land now used for its parking.

The action, taken during a public hearing on a proposal by land surveyor Trenton Snow on behalf of Jim Gardner (Rainbow Group, Inc., operator of Whiskey Creek) and adjacent property owner Mike Shore, was prompted by a property line that runs through the restaurant's parking area. Snow said the gas station owner to the south offered to sell the strip to Whiskey Creek to eliminate an annual lease and related administrative arrangements.

Council members voted to suspend the three-reading requirement and adopt Ordinance No. 87-22, vacating Lot 1 Fastville Second Edition; they also approved Resolution No. 2025-15, adopting the final plat and subdivision agreement for the Gardner Schroer addition. The council recorded unanimous \"aye\" votes during roll call.

The council and the applicant said existing recorded easements for utilities'including gas, sewer and electric lines'will remain in place and will not be altered by the lot vacation and replat. Snow told the council Whiskey Creek had never been platted as a subdivision when it was sold in about 1980 and that the replat will formalize ownership of the parking area.

No members of the public spoke in opposition during the hearing. City staff presented the matter as a straightforward boundary and replatting request; council discussion was limited and procedural motions to close the hearing and adopt the ordinance and resolution carried without dissent.

The ordinance and the resolution take effect as provided by law; the council record shows the motion to vacate and to adopt the final plat were moved and seconded during the meeting and approved by roll call.","The Kearney City Council voted to vacate Lot 1 of Fastville Second Edition and approved the final plat for the Gardner Schroer addition, resolving a property line that cut through Whiskey Creek restaurant's parking area and preserving existing utility easements.","actionData","errors"]
