King, of Lathrop and Gage, L.C. Representative: 7701 Forsythe Boulevard, Suite 400 Creve Coeur, MO 63105 Applicant/ Chaminade College Preparatory School Property Owner: 425 South Lindbergh Boulevard Creve Coeur, MO Report Prepared by: Attached: 63141 4 Draft conditional use permit amendment ordinance. Applicants supporting documents, received April 15, 2010. telecommunication Planning and Zoning Commission Application 910 -010, Clearwire Communications 425 South Lindbergh Boulevard May 17, 2010 BACKGROUND AND ZONING REQUEST On November 9, 2009, the City Council approval Conditional Use Permit Ordinance Number 5117 for Chaminade College Preparatory School. This ordinance also consolidated a number of pre- existing CUP ordinances for roof mounted telecommunication antennas on Chaminade Hall. It also allowed additional antennas subject to various conditions, unless the proposed installation required an increase or expansion of the screening devices. Such an expansion requires an amendment to the CUP ( Ord. 5117). An application has been submitted by Clearwire Communications for microwave communication equipment to be installed on the roof of Chaminade Hall that can only be screened by new a cupola structure. The cupola is made of materials that mimic the brick construction of the building and it will enclose the antennas on all four sides hiding them from sight. accompanying drawings from Shive Hattery Architecure - The Engineering include construction details and locations for the antennas. As an addition to the screening devices on the roof, the request can only be approved by City Council upon receipt of a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission as an amendment to CUP Ordinance 5117. REVIEW STANDARDS In addition to the general approval standards for a conditional use permit prescribed by Section 405 -1070 of the Zoning Code, Section 405. 470( 4) of the Zoning Code specifies the following additional requirements for roof mounted communication equipment: a) Roof -mounted communication equipment shall not exceed fifteen ( 15) feet in height as measured from the roof of the building and shall meet the sky- exposure plane requirement in the applicable zoning district if applicable. b) Prior to approval of roof mounted communication equipment by the City Council, the applicant shall document their efforts to locate their communication equipment on an existing communication tower within the City or in close proximity to the City. Such documentation shall also indicate why collocation on any existing tower is not feasible or not desirable. c) The design of the communication equipment shall maximize use of building materials, colors, textures, screening and landscaping that effectively blend the communication equipment facilities with the surrounding natural setting and built environment. d) In addition to the requirements of Section 405. 1080, the site plan for the roof mounted communication equipment shall include the following information: 1. Proposed type, number, and location of antennas or other transmission equipment to be located on the building roof; and 2. e) Location of any adjoining residential districts or structures used for residential purposes. Roof -mounted communication equipment shall not be installed on residential buildings or on buildings located on lots used for residential purposes. f) Any roof -mounted communication equipment that is no longer in use for its original communications purpose shall be removed at the owner' s expense. The owner shall provide the city with a copy of the notice to the FCC of intent to cease operations and shall be given ninety ( 90) days from the date of ceasing operations to remove the equipment. Paget ng Commission Planning and Z• May 17, 2010 g) h) Application 410 -010, Clearware Communications 425 North Lindbergh Boulevard Roof -mounted communication equipment shall not be located within 150 feet of any residential structure. Signs, lighting, other than safety or hazard signs or lighting, shall not be placed on any roof mounted communication equipment. STAFF ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting the addition of a four sided coupla, which will provide screening for three microwave antennas aproximatly 65 feet above the ground. The addition will go above the roof line however it will not exceed the allowed height. There will be ground- accessable equipment mounted to the wall and painted to match the building. Little detail has been provided about the antennas, cupola size, size of the ground base cabient, the height that the cabinet will be mounted off the ground, or screening to hide the cabient from sight. Nonetheless, no expansion of the existing compound is needed for this design and the conditional use permit ordinance already requires that this area be screened from view. The following observations are made with regard to the CUP Review Standards for roof mounted communication equipment: a. The applicant has not submitted any information showing their efforts to locate the communication equipment on an existing communication tower within the City or in close proximity to the City; b. The design of the communication coupla will maximize the use of building materials, colors, and textures. The drawings provided lack the elements needed to determine if the wall -mounted equipment will be screened. In the staff opinion, the location chosen to mount the cupola housing the antennas looks natural, and acts as an extension to the building so long as the materials choosen to replicate the facade of the building are of the highest quality, and exactly match in color. The standards mentioned above are important in making a decision to approve, or disapprove this amendment; therefore, staff recommends it be a condition of the approval that the applicant provides supporting data showing this is the most reasonable location in the City for the antennas and that the applicant should present samples of the materials that will be used to match the fagade of the building and more detailed drawings of the antennas and wall -mounted equipment cabinet with their building permit application. CONCLUSION AND ACTION If the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission believe that the proposed installation satisfies the requirements of the Zoning Code, they must vote on a recommendation to the City Council. The first opportunity for a public hearing before City Council is June 14, 2010. The following is an example motion for this application: 1) " I move to recommend approval of an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit Ordinance Number 5117, subject to the conditions in the draft ordinance attached to the staff report on application motion)." 10 -010, dated May 17, 2010.

Conditional use permit and site development plan amendment to allow rear entry renovations and installation of a kindergarten playground Applicant/ The Rossman School Property Owner: c/ o Ms. Patricia Shipley 12660 Conway Road Creve Coeur, MO 63141 Report Prepared by: 5. Paul Langdon, AICP Director of Community Attached: Draft Conditional Use Permit Amendment Ordinance Applicant' s materials, received April 13, 2010. Letters of opposition from residents Oehler, Wilson, and Tauk. Letter of support from resident Bauer. Date 0 0 Application 910 -011, The Rossman School CUP Amendment Planning and Zoning Commission 12660 Conway Road May 17, 2010 BACKGROUND AND ZONING REQUEST The Rossman School received conditional use permit ( CUP) approval from the City on February 12, 1990, following annexation. The school subsequently purchased additional land from the Lucky Lane Preschool to use for their athletic fields. This required a rezoning of the pre -school from " HE" Higher Education to " A" Single- family Residential and amendment to the Rossman CUP, both approved on July 12, 1999 ( Ordinances 2010 and 2011, respectively), followed by final plat approval to tie the school' s lots together that was approved on September 13, 1999 ( Ordinance 2018). The school has also purchased Lots 4, 5, and 6 of the Conway Gardens Lane subdivision. These lots are at the end of the cul -de -sac and border the school property to the west. The lots are not, however, included in the CUP ordinances. Issues of impact upon the residential character of the surrounding subdivisions has been a key issue with every prior review process. The school currently has a rear door on the west side of the building that is served by a loop driveway connecting the front parking lot with the driveway off Conway Road via the south and west sides of the building. This door provides access to the common areas within the building. The school now wishes to reconfigure the inside such that the rear door would become the exclusive entry for their kindergarten classes. Associated with this entry would be a portico covering the walkway from the driveway curb to the door. Adjacent to the entry walk would also be a new kindergarten playground. Finally, to provide room for these new features, the driveway loop will be moved several feet to the west, crossing the existing property line in the process. The grading necessary to support the driveway will result in the loss of several mature trees and an area of scrub, mostly Japanese Honeysuckle. These plants will be replaced with a naturalized landscape containing a variety of native shrub and tree species, all on what is currently a vacant residential lot owned by the school. Since this work requires a physical addition to the building, the enlargement of the driveway, the installation of an entirely new playground, and the incorporation of the residential lots into the CUP, it is considered an expansion of the conditional use and, per Ordinance 2011, it must be approved by the City Council upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission. LAND USE AND ZONING OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES The adjacent zoning and land uses are as follows: Direction Use ; North Single -family residences Pre -school and university South T. Zoning.Distnct P F A" Single -family Residential A" Single- family Residential ji Separatedby 4__ •_ N/ A N/A and " HE" Higher Education East West Single- family residences Single- family residences A" Single- family Residential A" Single- family Residential College Park Drive Conway Gardens Lane ( partly) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW The Comprehensive Plan contains many goals directed at the protection of residential areas from non -residential development. The '* Residential Preservation and Economic Development" section of the overall goals contains the following: Page 2 of 6 0 0 Application #10 -011, The Rossman School CUP Amendment Planning and Zoning Commission May 17, 2010 12660 Conway Road Mitigate the impact of non -residential uses such as lighting, noise, and trash on residential uses where they are adjacent (p. 21). The applicants have not proposed any new lighting and staff is unaware of any complaints stemming from the current conditions. What is less easy to control is noise. The increased use of the rear entry and the location of the playground will introduce some additional noise to the west side of the building, but it is not an increase over today' s prevailing conditions since it involves the same student enrollment that currently exists. There is no physical barrier to mitigate this noise, but the vacant lots to the west do provide a 50 -foot to over 200 -foot buffer between the school property line and the nearest residences on Conway Garden Lane. Conway Wold Subdivision is a similar distance away from the entrance. The nearest house in the A related goal in " Residential Preservation and Economic Development" states: 4. Protect residential areas from encroachment of non -residential uses ( p.21). This is further supported by a goal within the Residential Neighborhoods chapter that reads as follows: 4. New construction or development within the boundaries of existing institutional uses will be permitted only upon demonstration that negative impacts on surrounding residential areas related to site planning, building design and material, landscaping, buffering, access, signage, and other land use impacts will be mitigated. Clearly the primary concern of the Comprehensive Plan is the impact on adjacent residences. In the case of the Rossman School, these impacts have been the subject of much review in the past. The three residential lots on Conway Gardens Lane provide a wide buffer between the school and the houses on that street. The loss of some of the existing vegetation does potentially compromise this buffer to a degree, but the applicants are attempting to address this concern through extensive planting of evergreen trees. Staff does recommend that no more than 25% of the evergreen trees be White Pines as they offer only fair screening value. Norway Spruce, Colorado Spruce ( species only), and American Holly (a Missouri native but potentially too prickly for this location) are much preferred. DESIGN GUIDELINES AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN ANALYSIS As a minor addition to the building, there are few design concerns, although it is worth identifying that the proposed portico utilizes similar design elements as the main entrance. The short walking distances between the entrance and the drop -off area and the playground do promote pedestrian safety, especially where small children are involved. ZONING ANALYSIS As a conditional use in the " A" Single -family Residential zoning district, the school is subject to the district regulations, the standards for a CUP in Section 405. 1070, Conditional Use Permits, of the Zoning Code, and the pre -determined conditions in Section 405. 470( 25), Elementary and Secondary Schools. These standards and conditions read as follows: Page 3 of 6 Application # 10 -011, The Rossman School CUP Amendment Planning and Zoning Commission May 17, 2010 12660 Conway Road Section 405. 1070 Conditional Use Permit E. Standards 1. Complies with all other applicable provisions of this Chapter including environmental performance standards presented in Section 405. 550, the criteria in Section 405. 470 and the standards of this Chapter in regard to yard and setback, parking and loading areas, screening and buffering, refuse, storage and service areas and signs. 2. Will contribute to and promote the community welfare and convenience at the specific location. 3. 4. Will not cause substantial injury to the value ofneighboring property. Meets the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan and am., applicable neighborhood or sector plans and complies with other applicable Zoning district regulations and provisions of this Chapter, unless good cause exists for deviation therefrom. 5. Will provide, if applicable, erosion control and on -site stormwater detention in accordance with the standards contained in this Chapter. 6 Will be compatible with the surrounding area and thus will not impose an excessive burden or have a substantial negative impact on surrounding or adjacent users or on communityfacilities or services. 405. 470(25) Elementary and Secondary Schools - -SIC Code 821 ( conditional use in the A, B, C, D, AR, MR, PO and RO districts) a) Shall be located on lots of not less than three ( 3) acres: and b) Athletic fields shall be separated from adjacent residentially -zoned land by a minimum six foot high opaque screen of berms, evergreen plant material, fences or a combination thereof. c) Lights for major outdoor recreation and entertainment facilities shall require approval of a Site Development Plan in accordance with Section 405. 1080. While the supplemental requirements of Section 405. 470 are met, and the majority of the " A" district and CUP requirements are met, the west side of the building does focus attention on one critical issue, especially the school' s only option for meeting the requirements of Section 405. 250( E)( 3)( f), Buffet- yard,for conditional uses, which states: 6. Buffer yard for conditional uses: Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 405. 250( E)( 3) above, any lot or parcel abutting or adjoining a single- family use in a residential district shall provide a buffer yard of twenty- five ( 25) feet on all sides that abut the single- family use in the residential district. The minimum required buffer yard shall be increased in five ( 5) foot increments, up to a maximum of fifty ( 50) feet, for each acre of the subject property. All acreage shall be rounded up to the next whole number for buffer yard calculations purposes. An additional two ( 2) feet of buffer yard shall be provided for every foot of building or structure height exceeding forty-five ( 45) feet. The buffer yard shall not contain any impervious surface and shall be landscaped and provided with other screening devices as deemed appropriate by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Should the adjoining property convert to a single- family use, the owner and /or conditional use permit holder shall initiate and complete the construction and installation of the required buffer yard within eighteen 18) months from the date of the official letter from the Planning and Zoning Commission Chairperson sent to the property owner and conditional use permit holder identifying that such buffer yard is required, due to the adjoining land use conversion. The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall review and approve such buffer yard. The required buffer for this project, given an area over five acres , reaches the maximum of 50 feet. This requirement is easily met, but only if the vacant residential lots are included in the CUP. Bringing these lots into the CUP heightens nearby- resident concerns over the impact on the residential character of the area since it could bring school activities directly onto a residential street. The school has indicated that the lots would only be used for passive activities, but they are Page 4 of 6 i Application # 10 -011, The Rossman School CUP Amendment Planning and Zoning Commission Mm 17, 2010 12660 Conway Road not able to fully articulate those plans at this time. Therefore, any CUP amendment approval should contain a condition that limits driveway expansion to the easternmost five feet of Lot 6, and regarding to the easternmost 50 feet of Lot 6. The school should not be discouraged from adding more trees throughout the property as these increase the buffering effect. To further support this deliberate decision to exclude the Conway Gardens lots from the active use of the school, the concept plan ( labeled " Overall Site Plan" by the applicant' s consultant) should be modified prior to final approval with labels reading " To Remain Vacant" on the three residential lots so it is clear that no development of the lots is being acknowledged or supported at this time. DRAFT ORDINANCE In keeping with current practices, the attached draft ordinance incorporates the relevant conditions from past ordinances for the school, and introduces new conditions related to the kindergarten entry and playground proposal. The draft ordinance also incorporates a number of format and procedural changes consistent with current City policies and procedures. CONCLUSION The physical expansion proposed is small, but the implication for the surrounding property owners is much greater; use of the residential lots has long been an unacceptable expansion of this use for those residents. It appears that this proposal will not have any of the impacts that the residents fear and, since it includes activities already on the campus, it does not represent the first step down a slippery slope. This is only true, however, if the buffer is properly repaired after construction and it is clear to the school that this amendment does not encourage any construction beyond what is proposed. If the school eventually chooses to pursue greater use of the vacant lots, they will have to defend that request on its own merits in its own time. ACTION If the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission believe that the proposed expansion is safe and appropriate given its use as a kindergarten entrance and playground, and that the conditions in the attached draft ordinance will protect the nearby residents from unwanted impacts, then they should vote to support a motion recommending approval of the request. An example motion to this effect is: I move to recommend approval of an amendment to the Rossman School CUP as requested, subject to the conditions contained in the draft ordinance attached to the staff report on application # 10 -011, dated May 17th, 2010."

We are neighbors residing at 455 Conway Garden Lane, the subdivision adjacent to the west of the School. We are strongly opposed to the School' s development of the property at the south end of Conway Garden Lane into an outdoor classroom. The School acquired these properties when they were in residential use. The City zoning and use is specified as residential. The By -Laws of the Street' s Trusteeship, to which the School belongs, specify 7.) the " properties will be used for private, residential use only —not for any other purpose." We ask that the city maintain its use and zonings and that the city respect our By -Laws, because these are in accordance with the city' s interest. It is our interest, and that of others on the street and in the area, to maintain the character of the city which has made it a premier city. This development would detract from the neighboring residential property' s values and the city' s tax base, and it would not enhance any aspect of our neighborhood.

Applicant' s narrative, received April 20, 2010. Applicant' s site plan, dated April 30, 2010. Date 0 • Application 410 -014, Hallmark of Creve Coeur Planning and Zoning Commission May 17, 2010 1 New Ballas Place BACKGROUND AND ZONING REQUEST The Hallmark of Creve Coeur is a senior, independent living facility that was originally approved on October 20, 1997, but underwent several changes until receiving final approval for its current form on March 20, 2000. The 6 -story facility opened in 2002 with 218 units. It has surface and structured parking under the building, and extensive landscaping including a wet retention area. Since the original request was only for an independent living facility (a permitted use), the facility only required site development plan approval. The applicant is requesting that 40 of the first floor units be allowed to be licensed as assisted living units. In the " CB" district,. skilled nursing, assisted living and residential care are all conditional uses. The applicant has, specifically, requested approval of a CUP for Nursing and Personal Care ( SIC Group 805). However, staff believe that it is prudent to amend the request to include Residential Care ( SIC Group 836) as this is the intermediate level of care between the existing, independent living and the nursing/personal care requested. It should also be noted that the applicant has submitted a site plan with this application, but that plan is merely a reflection of the original approval given in 2000. The new plan can be referenced for the purposes of this application, but the attached draft ordinance will refer to the original approval package as this is what guided the actual development in the field. LAND USE AND ZONING OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES The adjacent zoning and land uses are as follows: Direction Use North Single- family residences Zoning District Separated by St. Louis County Single- family N/ A Residential South West Oak shopping CB" Core Business N/ A center East Single- family residences St. Louis County Single -family N/ A Residential West Multi- family residences CB" Core Business Craig Road REVIEW STANDARDS In addition to the general approval standards for a conditional use permit prescribed by Section Section 405. 470( 23) of the Zoning Ordinance specifies the following additional requirements for nursing and personal care facilities: 405 -1070 of the Zoning Code, 23. Nursing and personal carefacilities--SIC Code 805 ( conditional use in the " HE ", 711" " GC" and CB" districts). a. Shall be located on sites of at least three ( 3) acres. b. The density of development ( for apartment -type units) within a personal care facility shall not exceed twenty (20) dwelling units per acre. Living units with cooking facilities shall count as one ( 1) dwelling unit and living units without cooking facilities shall count as two- thirds ( 2/ 3) of a dwelling unit for purposes of calculating the density of development. Paget 0 • Planning and Zoning Commission May 17, 2010 Application # 10 -014, Hallmark of Creve Coeur 1 New Ballas Place c. Personal care facilities shall be primarily residential in character; however, convalescent and nursing homes, centralized eating facilities for residents of the facility, medical facilities and similar uses associated with the long- or short -term care of patients may be included. d. No building shall be located within fifty (50) feet of any property line. No additional requirements are in place for residential care facilities in the " CB" zoning district. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW The Comprehensive Plan does not speak directly to this site or these uses but, as a part of the Central Business District ( CBD), the site is in an area for which the Comprehensive Plan repeatedly advocates a mixture of uses, including residential. While it is true that the proposed spectrum of uses transitions from true residential to more of a medical use ( skilled nursing), the facility remains a place where people live. It generates relatively little traffic, has no ancillary uses that are available to the public and the proposal does not include any modifications to the site development plan. In other words, the facility was an accepted element of the CBD when the Comprehensive Plan was approved in 2002, and there is nothing in the proposal that should affect that standing. ZONING CODE REVIEW Given that neither the building nor the overall site will change with this proposal, there are few zoning concerns. In fact, the applicant has made verbal statements to staff that many residents have been privately contracting for personal services. In other words, the proposed use is, to some degree, already occurring on the property and there have not been any noted issues; approval of this request will bring these activities into conformance with the Zoning Code. One common issue when uses change, however, is whether or not the parking supply will continue to meet the Zoning Code requirements. Applying the standards for multi- family residential and nursing facilities, the parking' required is calculated as follows: Multi- family: ( 50 x 2) + ( Nursing: ( 46 x 0. 5) = 23 50 x 1. 75) + ( 78 x 1. 5) = TOTAL PARKING: 304. 5 + 304. 5 23 = 327. 5 ( 328) When the site development plan was originally approved, it was allowed 145 spaces built plus an additional 215 " phantom" stalls to be built upon demand from the City if a shortage was noted. This yields a total potential supply of 360 parking stalls which exceeds the requirement. Given that nursing care and assisted living are lower parking generators, and that no overflow problems have been observed, staff recommend that the parking remain as originally approved. Given the existing condition of the development and the lack of issues that it raises, the Planning Commission should condition the CUP on the maintenance of the existing site development plan. An upper limit should also be placed on the number of non -independent living beds, however, so that any further changes will provide an opportunity for the City to assess if the site or the surrounding neighborhood are experiencing any adverse impacts arising from the change of use. Planning and Zoning Commission Application # 10 -014, Hallmark of Creve Coeur May 17, 2010 1 New Ballas Place CONCLUSION AND ACTION If the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission believe that the inclusion of residential care is appropriate given the existing conditions and the applicant' s interest in a full -spectrum care facility, then they should first vote on a motion to amend the request to include Residential Care ( SIC Group 836), along with the Nursing and Personal Care already requested. An example motion to this effect is: . I move to amend Application Number 10 -014 submitted by The Hallmark of Creve Coeur for a conditional use permit allowing nursing and personal care by adding residential care ( SIC Group 836)." If the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission believe that the proposed conditional uses will not adversely alter the site, impact the surrounding neighborhood and will satisfy the requirements of the Zoning Code, they must vote on a recommendation to the City Council. The first opportunity for a public hearing before City Council is June 14, 2010. The following is an example motion for this application: I move to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit for nursing and personal care, as well as residential care, at The Hallmark of Creve Coeur development, subject to the conditions in the draft ordinance attached to the staff report on application 10 -014, dated May 17, 2010. (conditions may be modified by preceding motion)." APPENDIX 1: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, INCLUDING DESIGN GUIDELINES AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN Included and attached by reference.

JAMES WANG PRESIDENT OF CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THIS DAY OF 12010 HAROLD DIELMANN MAYOR ATTEST: DEBORAH RYAN, MRCC CITY CLERK 9 RECEIVED APR 2 01010 Brookdale Senior Living The Hallmark of Creve Coeur PLANNING DEPT. The Hallmark Creve Coeur ( "The Hallmark ") is an existing 6 -story, 218 unit Independent Living Retirement Community that is now 7% years old. It is owned by KG Missouri -CC Owner, LLC and operated by Brookdale Living Communities of Missouri -CC, LLC, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Brookdale Senior Living Inc., one of the largest senior housing companies in the country. Brookdale Senior Living operates all of its communities under the mission of "Enriching the lives of those we service with compassion, respect, excellence and integrity ". Recently the State of Missouri has required The Hallmark to discharge several residents who required Assisted Living care. The purpose of this project is to license enough beds at Hallmark to enable Hallmark to provide continuing care of it' s existing independent living residents. The 1St floor of The Hallmark has 40-- units including the 29- unlicensed Supportive Living units on the south wing and 11 -units on the north wing of the building. The Hallmark proposes to convert these 40 units into 46 ALF beds to enable The Hallmark to continue to serve their residents as their need for assistance grows. The Hallmark' s physical building allows a unique opportunity to promote a community atmosphere that includes both independent living and assisted living residents. In other senior living communities, there is a physical and even a psychological separation between the two areas of care. Sometimes the separation is simply " double doors" and other times it is different buildings altogether that keep independent living and assisted living residents apart. The Hallmark' s community atmosphere allows all residents to retain their friendships as well as their dignity should they need assisted living care. Although assisted living apartments would be located on the first floor, all residents could use the amenities located there (convenience store, beauty shop, doctor' s office, exercise room, etc.) The Assisted Living apartments will be on the 1St floor of the building, which already houses the following features and amenities for the convenience of all the residents: private dining room, living room area, activity room, general store, therapy clinic, outside deck /patio with a view of the lake, gathering area called the Piazza provides a place to gather, relax and socialize, beauty salon, health center, activities manager' s office ensuring the highest level of stimulation for residents, bank. In addition to functionality, all features and amenities offer a high quality homelike environment that would enhance the quality of life that residents deserve as they continue to age in place. Past residents of The Hallmark have had to leave their units due to their need for assisted living services. Adding 46 Assisted living beds would allow residents to continue to age in place and allow them to remain at The Hallmark. 0 • The Hallmark expects to be able to fill the 46 beds with it' s own residents as they continue to age in place and prevent residents from experiencing the trauma of moving out of their home when they need assisted living services. Assisted Living would give " peace of mind" to prospects and residents because when they choose The Hallmark' s independent living apartments, they know that they will have assisted living care available to them if and when it' s needed. It is a difficult move for most seniors to leave the house that they love and where they raised their family. When they make a decision to come to an independent living community, they want to know that they can remain there and not have to move again the first time they are sick. Assisted living at the Hallmark would also allow current residents to access financial assistance through their individual long term care insurance policies. In the past, residents have had to move out because they couldn' t access the benefits provided them through their LTC policies. In the past, when economic times were better, Hallmark residents bypassed their policies so they could stay at The Hallmark which they and their families considered home. Current residents who age in place could move to the Assisted Living area at The Hallmark, if needed, and would not have to leave the community and the friendships that they have developed with other residents. This flow between the two levels of care represents a significant social and emotional benefit to the residents and to The Hallmark staff who together build relationships which promotes a wonderful quality of life.

Planning and Zo• Commission Application 910 -015, Allegro Lake Estates Privacy Gates Allegro Lake Estates Drive, East ofSpoede Road May 17, 2010 BACKGROUND AND ZONING REQUEST The Allegro Lake Estates Subdivision was first approved on April 22, 2002. The subdivision The street has never been consists of a three lot cul -de -sac extending due east from Spoede Road. - ay accepted by the City of Creve Coeur as a public street and so remains private. The right -of w was designed such that the cul -de -sac bulb could be abandoned and the physical street connected into Allegro Lane, a private street that is immediately adjacent to the north. This was done in case there are future subdivisions of the Allegro Lane lots requiring improved access to Spoede Road. Although unlikely, a complete redevelopment of the land at the end of Allegro Lane could yield nine lots meeting the one -acre minimum lot area. An additional subdivision of 540 North Spoede Road, which lies along Allegro Lane, could yield another three lots. Combined with the three lots of Allegro Lake Estates, Allegro Lake Estates Drive could ultimately serve approximately 15 houses. By approval condition, Allegro Lake Estate Drive cannot be connected to Huntington Lane immediately to the south. The residents of Allegro Lake Estates are requesting approval of privacy gates at the enirance to The walls flanking and supporting the gates will also bear a subdivision Given that the street is private, they are entitled to make this request but it is subject to review and approval of the Planning Commission. This is because the gates generically function as a type of front yard fence and also a subdivision fence, both of which are regulated by the Zoning Code. City Council action is not required. their subdivision. identification sign. LAND USE AND ZONING OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES The adjacent zoning and land uses are as follows: Direction Use North Single -family Single- family Single -family Single -family South East West Zoning District residences residences residences residences I " A" A" A" A" Single -family Single- family Single -family Single -family Separated by Residential Residential Residential Residential Allegro Lane Huntington Lane N/ A Spoede Road DISCUSSION There have been several prior approvals of subdivision gates around the city, most recently including the three subdivisions along Ladue Road: Ladue Court, Belle Maison and Enclave at Bellerive. Of these, only the Enclave gates were installed. Although there is no specific guidance in either the Comprehensive Plan or the Zoning Code, a series of criteria were developed in prior applications to aid in the Commission' s review. These cover a number of concerns, including typical Comprehensive Plan issues, and are presented below with staff commentary: Is the gated development compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood? The proposed gates are a combination of stonework and metal picket fencing. The tops of the masonry sections are curved upwards, somewhat similar in character to the style of homes located in the subdivision. Indeed, many of the newer houses in the city are styled in similar ways. Page 2 of 5 Planning and Zo• May 17, 2010 Commission Application 910 -015, Allegro Lake Estates Privacy Cates Allegro Lake Estates Drive, East ofSpoede Road Is there an undue concentration of gated developments in the vicinity of the proposal? As stated in the applicant' s narrative, there are no other gated subdivision streets in the immediate vicinity of this subdivision, and only one is within the extended area. Is the street private? As indentified above, the street is private. If it were public, the residents would not have standing to request approval of the gates. Does the street meet minimum width requirements? The street was constructed to all City of Creve Coeur standards, other than the road was offset from the right -of w - ay centerline to facilitate a possible future connection to the Allegro Lane residents. This offset was encouraged and approved by the City. Will the gated development modify existing or proposed circulation systems? Even if the Allegro Lane residents are added to Allegro Lake Estates, the subdivision remains a cul -de -sac and, as such, the gate does not affect any of the through street circulation. Will the gated development block current or future access to adjacent properties? As indicated above, Allegro Lane does not yet connect to Allegro Lake Estates so installing the gates will not block their access. Any connection in the future will be done in full knowledge of the gates, should they be approved at this time, and there is no requirement that this connection must occur. Will the gated development block current or future access to bike trails or pedestrian ways? The gates do block the sidewalk that is intended to connect between Spoede Road and Allegro Lake Estates Drive. At this time, however, the sidewalks are not complete on either street. The Planning Commission should consider requiring a pedestrian gate at the sidewalk but, given the limited length of the affected sidewalk and the absence of connections with this subdivision, it may be reasonable to allow the gate to be locked in order to maintain the desired level of security. Will the gated development block access for municipal services? The City currently provides slow plow service to the street, which is the case for many open private streets. The installation of the gates will obligate the residents to hire their own snow removal service. With regard to policing, comments have not been received from the Creve Coeur Police Department but the gates will, at a minimum, have to allow entry for official business. Will the gated development block access for emergency services? Page 3 of 5 Planning and May 17, 2010 Ig Commission Application # 10 -015, Allegro Lake Estates Privacy Cates Allegro Lake Estates Drive, East ofSpoede Road The Creve Coeur Fire Protection District has reviewed the proposal and has no concerns with the design of the gates. As with the Police, the gates will have to allow emergency entry. SUBDIVISION SIGN The design of the sign has not been finalized with this submittal, so the Commission should consider imposing certain minimum conditions on size and method of manufacture, or they should defer a decision until the design is more evolved. If the Commission wishes to proceed, staff recommend that the sign be limited to two, 12- square foot signs to be etched into the stone panel or individually- mounted letters. CONCLUSION AND ACTION Due to the small size of the applicants' subdivision and the quality of the materials to be used, the proposed gates do not appear to pose any significant impacts upon the neighborhood or the Spoede Road neighborhood in general. If the members of the Planning Commission believe that the proposal will not create any adverse impacts upon the subdivision or the surrounding neighborhood, the Commission must vote on a motion to approve the sign. Should the Planning and Zoning Commission motion to approve the proposed gates and subdivision sign, staff recommend the following conditions: The applicant shall submit a sign and building permit applications to the City of Creve Coeur for review and approval. 2. The fences, gates and sign designs shall be in substantial conformance with the drawings submitted by Glantz and Associates, Architects, received April 26, 2010 and May 4, 2010. 3. The sign shall be limited to two sign faces, each of 12 square -feet maximum, with letters to be etched or individually mounted into the stone wall material. The following are examples of a motion for this application: I move to approve the Allegro Lake Estates gates and sign with the conditions listed in the staff report on application # 10 -015, dated May 17, 2010."

Allegro Lake Estates is located on the East side of Spoede Road, between Ladue Road and Olive Boulevard. We are requesting approval to construct site entry monuments and gates for the private, three ( 3) home subdivision. The entry monument and gates will be constructed with stone and wrought iron ( or high quality metal) fencing — commensurate with materials found on the houses in the subdivision, and surrounding new homes in the area. The only other entry gate we could find in the neighborhood is located on a ( private) shared driveway to two ( 2) houses on Ladue Road, just west of Spoede Road. There are very few gated developments in the area. Allegro Lake Estates is a private street and meets all minimum width requirements. In addition, the proposed entry monument / gate will not modify existing or proposed circulation systems, and will not block current or future access to adjacent properties / bike trails and / or pedestrian ways. The entry monument will also not block access from any municipal or emergency services and we have submitted the same " application" to the Creve Coeur Fire Protection District for their review / approval as well. My clients and I look forward to your favorable recommendation / approval of this application. Sincerely, i rry L. Glantz, A. I. A. President Glantz and Associates Architects, Inc.

King, Attorney with Lathrop & Gage, LLP, represented Clearwire Communications in a request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow three microwave antennas to be placed on Chaminade Hall, approximately 65 feet above the ground, screened by a four -sided cupola, located at 425 South Lindbergh Boulevard. Mr. Glantz disclosed that Lathrop & Gage are the attorneys for his company. Mr. King stated that Clearwire provides high -speed internet with a large data base and is leasing space from Chaminade College Preparatory School. He explained that there are antennas currently located on the roof at Chaminade, and since Clearwire plans to build a cupola to hide the antennas, Planning and Zoning approval is needed. A brief question and answer period followed. Mr. King will provide all screening materials to the City along with verification that this is the best location for the antennas. Mr. Eberhardt moved to recommend approval of an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit Ordinance Number 5117, subject to the conditions in the draft ordinance attached to the Staff report on Application 10 -010 dated May 17, 2010. Dr. Saunders seconded the motion, which unanimously carried. This item will be before City Council on June 14, 2010. 10 -011 Rossman School Ms. Pat Shipley, Head of School at Rossman, located at 12660 Conway Road, requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit amendment to allow rear entry renovations and installation of a kindergarten playground. Ms. Shipley explained that they are seeking approval for a playground for their Junior and Senior Kindergarten students, ages four and five. The equipment on their present playground, located in front of the building, is mainly suitable for first grade through sixth grade, so there is a need for new equipment for the younger children. She noted that the new playground will be placed as close as possible to the classroom, and in order to do that, the road will be moved out 35 feet. The school proposes to install a portico to protect the children as they get in and out of cars. New trees and shrubs will be installed in order to maintain the park -like appearance they now enjoy. A few mature trees will be removed and replaced with pine trees, identified by Ms. Susan Bower, Architect with Mitchell /Wall, as evergreens and Norway Spruce, along with Missouri Dogwood, Viburnum, Maiden Grass, and a mix of Fescue. Ms. Shipley presented photographs and artist renderings of present and proposed views. Mr. John King, Attorney with Lathrop & Gage, pointed out that three lots are being consolidated along with the existing land, which is now under the current Conditional Use Permit. Chair Niedringhaus stated that Staff is proposing an additional condition on the approval that limits the driveway expansion to the easternmost five feet of Lot 6 of those three residential 0 P & 1. Minutes —May 17, 2010 0 lots, the remainder of which would be marked on the applicant' s site plan to remain vacant. Rossman School would have to return to the Commission and City Council if they ever want to do anything with the three residential lots in the future. Mr. Gary Wilson, Trustee for Conway Gardens Lane, expressed concern with an outdoor classroom and what might happen with the residential properties in the future. He pointed out that their subdivision by -laws state that each home is to be on one acre of land. Mr. Eberhardt questioned the location of the outdoor classroom. Ms. Shipley responded by saying there are no plans, at this time, for an outdoor classroom or any permanent structures on that property, but she displayed a conceptual plan of the area. She went on to say that an outdoor classroom would involve a butterfly garden and some paths through the area, which would require Rossman to return to the Commission for approval. Mr. Glantz asked if the City has Rossman' s Master Plan on file, and Mr. Langdon responded by saying that there is a Master Plan, which does not include any of the three Conway Gardens Subdivision lots. In order to expand onto even an inch of those lots, they need to be brought into the CUP, which is the purpose of this proposed amendment. The drawing submitted would be relabeled " Site Concept Plan ", with no intent to do any of what is shown on the conceptual drawing except for the Kindergarten playground and road that has been presented. Mr. Langdon pointed out that none of the conceptual site plan is being contemplated in this application, which is clearly stated in the staff report. Ms. Anne Niesen, 417 Conway Wold Byway, said that her children went to Rossman However, she is a strong believer in protecting the rights of residential property owners and pointed out that the people on her street do not want the property in question to be used for anything other than residential. Discussion followed on whether all three and she loves the school. lots should be included in the Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Eberhardt stated he would not be opposed to leaving the three lots in the CUP if the wording were expanded to include " no active school or student use" of the area. Mr. Madden made a motion, seconded by Dr. Hoffman, to recommend approval of an amendment to the Rossman School CUP as requested, subject to conditions contained in the draft ordinance attached to the staff report on Application # 10 -011 dated May 17, 2010. Mr. Eberhardt moved to amend the motion to indicate, in addition to the label " to remain vacant" on the overall site plan, it would also include " No active school or student activity use." There was no second to the amendment, and Mr. Eberhardt' s motion failed. Chair Niedringhaus called for the vote on the original motion, which was as follows: Dr. Saunders — aye Mr. Madden —aye Mr. Eberhardt —nay Mr. Glantz —aye Dr. Hoffman —aye Chair —aye The Public Hearing is scheduled for June 14, 2010. 0 10 -014 P & 7 Minutes —May 17, 2010 1* The Hallmark of Creve Coeur Mr. John Webster, Executive Director with The Hallmark of Creve Coeur, requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow nursing and personal care at the # 1 Place facility. New Ballas Mr. Webster stated that The Hallmark is an eight -year old six -story, 218 unit Independent Living Retirement Community owned by Brookdale Senior Living. The first floor of the facility contains 40 units, including 29 unlicensed, supportive living units on the south wing and 11 units on the north wing. The Hallmark proposes to convert these 40 units into 46 assisted living beds to enable The Hallmark to continue to serve the residents' needs as their needs for assistance grow. Mr. Webster pointed out that many of the residents have been Creve Coeur residents for a long time and wish to remain in their homes. There will be no change to the exterior structure of the building, traffic patterns, or traffic flow. The first floor operates now as Unlicensed Supportive Living, and the only change to occur would be to license the first floor, which would allow residents to remain in their homes longer and to exercise their long -term care policies they have been paying on for decades. Also, the third party provider staffing would be removed so The Hallmark could put in their own staffing as a licensed facility. Some interior modifications will be necessary to the first floor in order to meet the regulations of the Department of Health and Senior Services /State of Missouri. Mr. Webster said no additional parking spaces are needed. Dr. Saunders asked about the location of the phantom stalls that were required in their original approval should more parking become necessary, and Mr. Langdon identified the phantom parking in the southeast corner of the property. Dr. Hoffman pointed out that, as the population ages, these types of facilities are going to be needed more and more, and since the facility already exists, he did not feel this request would be a burden on the City. Ms. Evelyn Tischler, 11913 Moorland Woods Circle, expressed concern with parking and additional traffic. Chair Niedringhaus explained that there are 145 existing spaces and this proposed use would require 328 spaces, with enough room on the site for 360 parking spaces. The City has not required the additional spaces because there has not yet been a need, but if and when there is a need, the City will require The Hallmark to provide the additional parking spaces. Mr. Langdon pointed out that the standards have always asked for more parking than most health -care providers require. Chair Niedringhaus read an email from Dolores Kling dated Friday, May 14, 2010 voicing her opposition to this request by The Hallmark. Dr. Hoffman moved to amend Application # 10 -014 submitted by The Hallmark of Creve Coeur for a Conditional Use Permit allowing nursing and personal care by adding residential care ( SIC Group 836). Mr. Madden seconded the motion, which unanimously carried. 0 P & Z Minutes —May 17, 2010 0 Dr. Hoffman moved to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit for nursing and personal care, as well as residential care, at The Hallmark of Creve Coeur development, subject to the conditions in the draft ordinance attached to the staff report on Application 10 -014 dated May 17, 2010. Mr. Glantz seconded the motion, which unanimously carried. This Public Hearing is scheduled for June 14, 2010. 10- 015 Allegro Lake Fstates Mr. Barry Glantz, of Glantz and Associates Architects, represented Allegro Lake Estates Homeowners Association in a request for approval of a Minor Site Development Plan for privacy gates at the entrance to the subdivision, along with a subdivision identification sign. Mr. Tom Csengody, Trustee, was also present. Mr. Glantz identified this development as a private, three -home subdivision on the east side of Spoede Road, between Ladue Road and Olive Boulevard. The entry monument and gates will be constructed with stone and wrought iron or a high quality metal fencing commensurate with the materials found on the houses in the subdivisions and surrounding new homes in the area. The fence will extend to the landscaping to the north side and to the landscape berm on the south side. Mr. Glantz stated that they would comply with all City and Fire District regulations. Mr. Eberhardt alluded to the Staff report that indicates the gates would block the potential sidewalk that is to be installed. Mr. Glantz responded by saying this is a confusing issue, that the sidewalk goes nowhere and ends nowhere, basically in front of Lot 1. He said his clients had their way, they would remove the sidewalk altogether. if Chair Niedringhaus referred to their many discussions about gated communities and pointed out that the staff report dated May 17, 2010, contains a series of criteria developed in prior applications and presented with staff commentary. Mr. Richard Kutta, 24 Colonial Hills Parkway, Trustee, expressed concern with trash and gates. He was told that access to the gates would need to be provided to the refuse hauler. Mr. Langdon pointed out that there should be a fourth condition of approval to read: 4. The applicant shall submit written approval of the proposed gates by the Creve Coeur Fire Protection District and City of Creve Coeur Police Department prior to the issuance of any permits for construction. Mr. Eberhardt moved to approve the Allegro Lake Estates gates and sign with conditions listed in the staff report on Application # 10 -015 dated May 17, 2010 and as further modified by the amendment proposed by Mr. Langdon dealing with the Police and Fire review. Dr. Hoffman seconded the motion, which unanimously carried. 0 7. P & Z Minutes —May 0 17, 2010 Work AlZenda None 8. OTHER BUSINESS A.
