Appointment: The board voted to appoint Doug Spitler to the park board. Alderman Cleave moved to approve the appointment and Alderman Stewart seconded; the motion carried with the voice vote recorded as \"Aye.\"

Resolution 2025-01 (financial services agreement): The board considered a financial-services contract and voted to amend it to require monthly financial reports to the mayor and the board of aldermen. Alderman Cleave moved to approve the resolution; Alderman Stewart seconded. Alderman Kelly moved to amend the contract to add the monthly financial-report requirement; Alderman Cleave seconded the amendment. The amendment passed by voice vote, and the board then approved Resolution 2025-01 with the amended contract.

Resolution 2025-02 (land acquisition services): Alderman McCully asked to table Resolution 2025-02 because the Public Works Commissioner was not present to answer questions. The board voted to table Resolution 2025-02 until the Feb. 4 meeting.

Festival sanctioning: The tourism commission recommended the city use the St. Louis Barbecue Society as the sanctioning organization for a planned Route 66 barbecue-and-bluegrass festival in June. The board approved entering an agreement with that sanctioning organization, subject to attorney review and board approval of any contract terms.

Historic plaques and Centennial signage: The tourism commission reported it received a $15,000 sponsorship toward an interactive sign on the St. Louis County side of the project. The board also approved moving forward with two vendors for the plaque project (porcelain plaques and freestanding plaques) as recommended by the historical society and tourism commission; staff will return with final costs and hold-harmless agreements before installation.

Payments and finance items: The board approved routine debt-service and project payments listed on the agenda:
- UMB certificate of participation Series 2023 (wastewater facility) payment: $301,512.50 — motion and voice approval recorded.
- UMB PMA Series 2012 bond payment (refunding/renovation-related): $112,053.96 — motion and voice approval recorded.
- KJ Unersoll, Request No. 5 — Highway N Phase 4 project: $80,981.66 — motion and voice approval recorded; board asked for project status update at next meeting.

Other administrative action: The board voted 6–0 in favor of entering closed session under RSMo §610.021(1) and subsection 12 (personnel and contract/negotiation matters); the clerk called the roll and recorded six \"yes\" votes.

What this means: The appointments, amended finance agreement and festival sanctioning give staff direction to complete contracts and to provide additional reporting to the board. Several items remain pending (tabled resolutions, outstanding engineering reviews, and payments needing project closeout information).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Pacific Board of Aldermen Meeting, Tuesday, January 21, 2025 7:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Aldermen approved a park-board appointment, amended and approved a financial-services agreement to require monthly financial reports, and approved festival sanctioning while tabling other procurement items.","taxTitle","Pacific, Franklin County, Missouri","taxId",72941,"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},6097472,"Board hears engineering and neighbor concerns about runoff at Pacific Logistics Park Plat 2",233,1786000,2019000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2828088-2af2de82312829c0f986ef87b4320a2f&start=1786&end=2019","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2828088-2af2de82312829c0f986ef87b4320a2f/thumbnail_1786000.jpg","/articles/6097472/Pacific/Franklin-County/Missouri/Board-hears-engineering-and-neighbor-concerns-about-runoff-at-Pacific-Logistics-Park-Plat-2","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6097472-022047ea69d6ec9c9b9e2441ebbafc6b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183948&Signature=W4UQGFD0qMpaDGLS8D61eIh6hxfi-1jxGaiXDZW~cD~NTGXB7rPnY0Wfk3ghoCuzGgXv-fYzm2eIZDdxvfiAeQ8oVUglTF-iRMpVRJYJHmgD2eM0vAFL4eiYjKkkJflJMR~~r0zdKFpfF~Z3GGdRCbgPQMf9l02gTrVdLk~O38ReQaGD1TBIGFQ2XDsghNQuiXpyBwXpWQn9EIeimh0Es9ErF2sxrgHm4TkdvsFA-zcLhGUfqDzN8bjpBF3MxgDXu1lMBBCMqwWsyFcO15SVTK-sacS~vOWuvjUkfcKEORz5~2qUQ8k1Qf4iJajCtgFh8v4e6npPyjsyvFUUhNNgFQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The aldermen received a first reading of Bill 5267, which authorizes approval of a final plat and a performance surety for Pacific Logistics Park, Plat 2. Discussion focused on stormwater controls and whether runoff from the developed industrial park is contributing to flooding or ponding downstream.

Dan Conway, the owner associated with the Pacific Logistics Park project, and Thomas Lay of Cochran Engineering (filling in for design engineer Ryan Swyskew) attended to answer technical questions. City Engineer A. J. Garrando told the board the post-development runoff rate “is the same post developed as it was pre developed. There is not more water at any given moment that comes off that property than been pre developed, if everything works correctly, as their calculations show.” Garrando added that detention basins store water and release it at a controlled rate so the peak flow does not exceed pre-development conditions.

Neighboring property owner Bob Van Allen had told planning staff he’s seen more water appearing in the ditch downstream of the site and debris clogging a small culvert near Midwest Drive; those obstructions, Van Allen and officials said, are contributing to localized backup. Garrando and the developer said the site drainage features were designed to detain and control flows and that some downstream structures are undersized or obstructed and may require separate remediation. The developer said he would not absorb the full cost of downstream corrective work but suggested options — including assessments or a special improvement district — that would engage multiple property owners and the city to resolve historic drainage constraints.

Engineering: Cochran Engineering modeled flows and sealed plans will be submitted to the city for review. Thomas Lay said their engineer would deliver detailed calculations and a sealed set of construction plans; Ryan Swyskew (the design engineer) was not present and is expected back for the next meeting. Lay said the project team will construct basins before grading other parcels and will provide as-built reviews as parts of the plat approval process.

Planning notes: The plat revisions include modest changes to lot layouts (combining three lots into a larger rectangular lot to accommodate a large user) and do not reduce the north-end detention basins’ size, the developer said. City staff and the developer agreed that the city’s reviewer will validate modeling and that the developer will meet or exceed the city’s stormwater standards.

Action status: Bill 5267 was read and discussed; staff directed the applicant to submit sealed construction and stormwater calculations for engineering review prior to final plat approval.","A final-plat ordinance for Pacific Logistics Park, Plat 2 (Bill 5267) drew extended discussion about stormwater detention, downstream ditch capacity and modeling; engineers said detention basins are designed to limit peak discharge to pre-development rates, and developers said they will submit sealed calculations for city review.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6097477,"Pacific aldermen begin review of petition to annex 584 Katie Lane; residents urge lower density",523,1158000,1681000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2828088-2af2de82312829c0f986ef87b4320a2f&start=1158&end=1681","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2828088-2af2de82312829c0f986ef87b4320a2f/thumbnail_1158000.jpg","/articles/6097477/Pacific/Franklin-County/Missouri/Pacific-aldermen-begin-review-of-petition-to-annex-584-Katie-Lane-residents-urge-lower-density","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6097477-dcb9ab68159cfbb7d9933e22f69ef2ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183948&Signature=FYh~70Qd7e16tGD-Yi9eGhvvBm~EI3h4qDsrbij6Ry3FNNPr1wbxAOV1M01u5ECZB24z6U-mqecj8AFxHBRPDPRuoiiCVjQ9XaaSgbOfIVt~1FqBHqyhErH5JAspZpgHKy8oDyxaMSWYhxQWoNd9lVy-rDjrk2DgnEL6oQsQyu8yKaXSoFGRzpAsIDEMm84eSzkqwPoJ5sVrF~z5e70Ay~2dIHbVtbtGzTvouqhU0xDtB0t6oMcXcKj8cKSUwZ4vFxIK-zUNKVd48Z3pdRPYAPLskNFxgvFSK3M2HSf4Zs3RrlCl~~ZB6d5V4mo6ooK3lFHTGJlqrPV8EH3tWQ5EFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pacific Board of Aldermen held a public hearing and on first reading introduced an ordinance to annex property at 584 Katie Lane and a companion ordinance to change the zoning map for the parcel.

Mike Gallagher, an investor who said he and partner Ray Gullett own the property, told the board they want to annex the site “so that we may move forward with the building of the subdivision.” Gallagher said lots in the developers’ plan would be “a minimum of 12,300 square feet, most up to 23,000 square feet,” and that the proposal is intended to produce single-family houses rather than other uses permitted by Franklin County.

The proposal prompted opposition from neighbors at the hearing. Kevin Doyle, who said he lives a few doors down, urged the board to “do it responsibly” and called 18 or 19 homes “entirely too much,” saying the development would be “too dense.” Robin Pritchett, who spoke on behalf of a longtime resident at 1874 Oak Ridge Summit Road, asked the board to require larger lots and recommended rezoning to a district that would keep lot sizes closer to surrounding properties; she suggested limiting the number of homes on the parcel “to no more than 8 to 10.”

Alderman Kelly asked the developers about conflicting social-media posts suggesting mobile homes might be placed on the site. Ray Gullett replied that posts were sarcastic and that, if annexed, the developers intend to build “12 to 1,500 square foot, maybe bigger” single-family houses similar to existing neighborhood homes. Attorney Stephanie Carr explained that the annexation petition was filed without conditions and therefore is not automatically tied to any rezoning outcome; the owner could withdraw the petition if the rezoning fails.

The board received the first reading of Bill 5264 (voluntary annexation petition filed by Large Investments LLC, parcel ID as read into the record) and the first reading of Bill 5265 (zoning map amendment to R-1B for an approximately 7.89-acre tract at Oak Ridge Summit Road and Katie Lane). Both bills were sponsored at introduction by Alderman Kelly and will return to the board for further consideration. Planning and zoning review and any required notices remain part of the process.

What happens next: The ordinances were introduced; no final votes on either annexation or rezoning were recorded at this meeting. The transcript records neighbors’ requests for larger lots, developer statements about proposed lot sizes, and the attorney’s clarification that annexation and rezoning petitions need not be legally linked unless the petitioner requests an annexation agreement tying them together.

Residents who testified asked the board to prioritize larger lots and fewer houses and raised concerns about traffic, tree loss and noise-buffering vegetation.","The Board of Aldermen held a public hearing and introduced two ordinances — a voluntary annexation petition (Bill 5264) and a zoning map amendment request (Bill 5265) — for a roughly 6.3-acre parcel at 584 Katie Lane. Nearby residents expressed concern about proposed lot density and asked the board to require larger lots consistent with the area.","actionData","errors"]
