Mr. Celarek reported that he had received a letter from Thomas Breidenstein, representing Grand Court Lifestyles, Inc. Grand Court has decided not to pursue development of the property located at the corner of Thomas More Parkway and Legends Way. Grand Court has encountered costs associated with the construction of this development which make the project unfeasible. The staff recommendation to the Board of Adjustments will be to rescind the conditional use permit for that lot.

Mr. Celarek noted that notices had been sent to Glen Anderson, Steve Berry, and Jay Bayer, representing projects at the Crestview Hills Mall, that Ordinance 1999-4-1 would have the second reading tonight. Mr. Celarek reviewed the portions of the zoning code that will be updated and would clarify the issue of drive-ins and drive-thrus. For the purpose of zoning in the SC zone, they are considered to be the same but the code must be amended to reflect such. The KC/MP/ZC had a meeting on April 1^st and reviewed the proposal. The commission recommended approval of the text amendments. The text amendment will update, but not change, the current zoning code. Mr. Wehrman read the header of Ordinance 1999-4-1.

Mr. Ries made the motion to approve second reading of Ordinance 1999-4-1 which amends the text of the zoning ordinance. Motion seconded by Mr. Sommerkamp. Ayes carried.

Mr. Celarek stated that Hemmer Construction Co. requested Stage I & II development plan approval for the Chapel Place II project in the Thomas More Centre Research Park. The Economic Development Committee reviewed the plans on May 11th and gave their consent to Stage I & II approval. Staff and NKAPC have also reviewed the plans and agree upon approval.

Mike Hargis from Hemmer Construction Co. gave a brief overview of the office building noting that there were six handicapped parking spaces, two more than required according to ADA code. Phase II of Chapel Place will be identical to Phase I in that the building is 37,000 square foot, two story brick, standing seamed metal roof with 174 parking spaces. The first floor will house medical offices and the second floor will be general office space.

There will be a storm water retention pond behind Phase II which will be shared by the Marriott Extended Stay Hotel. Currently, there is a storm water retention pond behind Chapel Place I and that pond will also hold water from Chapel Place II.

Mr. Celarek noted that there was originally some discrepancies on the signage for this project. However, Hemmer corrected the plans to show one sign would be on Thomas More Parkway and another ground sign on Chapel Place would be directional only. Mr. Hargis explained that Hemmer Co. plans to go before the Board of Adjustments to ask for a 25 ft. variance in the sign setback requirements. It was also noted that this project will be built on Chapel Place, which is a private drive, not a public street.

Mr. Sommerkamp made the motion to accept Stage I and Stage II plans for Chapel Place II project contingent upon recommendations by staff and NKAPC. Motion seconded by Mr. Price. Ayes carried unanimously.

Mr. Celarek introduced the revised project by stating that the overall dimensions of the building had changed from 88,500 square feet to 107,508. It was felt by Estes Engineering that in order to meet market demand for independent senior citizen living, the living quarters needed to be larger. The number of units has not changed, nor has the circular traffic pattern or the building to lot proximity. The average size room in this complex will be 500 square feet. The common area is all on the first floor now, changed from a common area on all floors.

The builder considers these to be minor changes to the original Stage I and II plans submitted in January and February of 1999. The building will be all brick with a standing seamed metal roof. Parking space has increased to 111 from 99. There will be a sidewalk on the front and side of the building running along Centreview Blvd. and Rhine Valley Lane. A deco concrete wall with hand rails will grace the interior parking to the back of the lot. A curb cut for the entrance will be on Rhine Valley Lane as well as a sign noting the facility name.

Mr. Sommerkamp made the motion to accept the revised Stage I plan for the Waterford/Triad Senior Living project contingent upon recommendations and requirements from staff and from NKAPC. It was felt at the Economic Development committee meeting of May 11th that the revisions made to the original plans were minor. Motion seconded by Mr. Price. Ayes carried unanimously.

Mayor Meier reported that the Long Range Police and Safety Committee was formed one year ago to look at issues and make recommendations for the future of the Lakeside Park/Crestview Hills Police Authority. The committee met monthly, conducted surveys and Police interviews to finalize twenty-seven recommendations. However, the formal approval of council was needed to send the recommendations to Thomas Jordan, acting Chairman of the Police Authority Board.

Mrs. Huller wished two additions to the recommendations. They were:

1. a statement of purpose added as a preface to the recommendations.
2. add a different item 1 under section C, thereby moving all other items down one.

Mrs. Huller made the motion to accept the proposal to formally send the recommendations of the Long Range Police and Safety Committee to the Police Authority. Motion seconded by Mr. Laird.

Mr. Laird introduced Ordinance 1999-5-2, which will amend the FY99 budget. C.R. Monhollen explained that according to KRS 91A.030(13) an amendment needs to be made when:

1. actual appropriations appear they will exceed budgeted appropriations by more than ten percent.
2. as soon as any council action, officer or employee of the City commits the City to pay more than is appropriated in the budget for any line item or group of line items.

No negotiable instrument purporting to pay out more money than is appropriated for an item is valid beyond the unexpended balance of the appropriations made for such purpose. This is considered first reading of this ordinance.

The Finance Committee wished to seek formal council approval for the selection of a vendor to provide the City Building with a new network of computers, updated software and new cabling. Two computer companies made presentations at the May Finance Meeting. Those companies were Waltz/Majesco and Pomeroy Computer Resources. It was decided to award the bid to Waltz/Majesco because they offered a fair bid, flexibility in computer options, and the company is located in Crestview Hills.

Mr. Laird made the motion to accept the bid for the supplying of a new server, four workstations, fax machine and printer from Waltz/Majesco. Motion seconded by Mr. Ries. Ayes carried.

Mr. Laird presented Ordinance 1999-5-1 for the first reading of the budget for FY2000. Mr. Sommerkamp asked that $20,000 be added to the landscaping line item under Public Works for landscaping, tree plantings, flowers, planters, etc. throughout the City. Mr. Celarek wanted to add to the Police Authority line item so that figure would total $383,000. This is considered first reading of this ordinance.

The Finance Committee recommends that the current contract with Rumpke of Kentucky, Inc. be renewed for FY2000 at the same cost per unit. Motion to accept the renewal of the Rumpke contract made by Mr. Sommerkamp, seconded by Mr. Price. Ayes carried.

The Finance Committee recommends that the annual audit contract with Rankin, Rankin & Co. be renewed at $3,200. Motion to accept renewal of contract with current audit company made by Mr. Price, seconded by Mr. Maloney. Ayes carried.
