Page 8
1 Other matters on the agenda require
2 public hearings under Missouri law. If a matter
3 involves a public hearing, all individuals who desire
4 to testify will be given an opportunity to do so.
5 At this time, I would like to place into
6 the record these regulations as Exhibit A, the
7 official Zoning Map as Exhibit B, the official Master
8 Plan as Exhibit C, and the case file for each case as
9 Exhibit D for all the cases to be heard during the
10 meeting.
11 (THEREUPON, EVIDENCE WAS
12 MARKED FOR IDENTIFICATION AND
13 SUBMITTED FOR THE RECORD AS
14 EXHIBITS A, B, C, AND D.)
15 All Unfinished Business items on the
16 agenda will be dealt with first. Once the Unfinished
17 Business issues have been taken care of, each item of
18 New Business will be opened.
19 As each case is opened, a staff report
20 will first be read to the Commission, followed by any
21 questions for the staff.
22 Then if anyone in the audience would like
23 to speak or comment on a file that is part of the
24 public hearing, they must first print their name on
25 the sign-in sheet provided, and then be sworn in.

1 When it is your turn to speak, you will
2 come to the front of the room to address the
3 Commission and only the Commission, not anyone in the
4 audience, with your comments.
5 It is possible for the Planning
6 Commission to decide to move a New Business issue to
7 Unfinished Business and vote on it the same night.
8 At the conclusion of all questions,
9 comments, and discussion concerning each case, the
10 Planning Commission will proceed. Any final decision
11 by the Planning and Zoning Commission concerning
12 Conditional Use Permits may be appealed to the Board
13 of Zoning Adjustment any time within 90 days.
14 Applications for such an appeal may be
15 acquired from the Department offices during normal

1 Business. We have none.
2 Move on to New Business. File 210230,
3 Planning and Zoning. Planning and Zoning Commission
4 is the applicant.
5 MS. EAGAN: This is File
6 210230. The applicant is the Planning and Zoning
7 Department.
8 The applicant wishes to rezone seven
9 parcels from the O Zoning District to the A Zoning
10 District.
11 The properties are located on Gravois
12 Avenue approximately .84 miles west of the overpass in
13 Central Township.
14 THE FACTS: This rezoning includes seven
15 parcels of property approximately 13.6 acres in size.
16 The current zoning on this property is O.
17 The applicant would like to correct a zoning mistake
18 that was made when we did the country-wide rezoning in
19 2019 and 2020.
20 The properties between Interstate 44 and
21 Gravois Avenue are zoned A besides the properties in
22 question.
23 It appears these properties are between
24 the city limits of St. Clair, and may have been missed
25 when rezoning the properties between Gravois and

Page 14
1 Interstate 44.
2 STAFF COMMENTS: This property
3 appears to be commercial on the Future Land Use Map.
4 These properties should be zoned A to
5 match the other properties in the area.
6 Rezonings are allowed in our regulations
7 due to the ever-changing conditions that exist in the
8 county and elsewhere. According to Article 14,
9 Section 321, any such change must promote the health,
10 safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of
11 Franklin County by conserving and protecting property
12 and building values, by securing the most economical
13 use of land and facilitating the adequate provision of
14 public improvements in accordance with the Master Plan
15 adopted by Franklin County.
16 So as you guys can see on the map that
17 was provided, it's just a little section. Everything
18 to the north, west, and east are zoned A. All these
19 properties along this little corridor do have
20 commercial businesses on them. So we're just trying
21 to correct the error so the businesses can actually
22 operate.
23 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Any questions
24 or discussion from the Commissioners?
25 (NONE)

4 The motion is carried.
5 Moving on to File 210209, Swann Sales and
6 Consulting.
7 MS. EAGAN: This is File
8 210209. The applicant is Swann Sales and Consulting,
9 L. L. C., care of Aaron Swann.
10 The applicant requests to rezone one
11 parcel from the W Zoning District to the R Zoning
12 District.
13 The property is located approximately .54
14 miles west of Kaiser Hill Road on Highway 100, east of
15 the entrance to Green Bluff Drive, in Boeuf Township.
16 THE FACTS: The total area for the
17 rezoning is approximately 5.4 acres.
18 The zoning of this property as of January
19 14, 2020 is W. Prior to January 14, 2020, this
20 property was zoned Non-Urban and Agricultural. The
21 applicant would like to rezone to the R District.
22 The properties surrounding the proposed
23 site are zoned W and are primarily low-density
24 residential properties.
25 Just south of this property is AJ

1 Subdivision, which is a one-lot subdivision.
2 This property appears to have access to
3 Green Bluff Drive. This is a private road with an
4 easement width of approximately 50 feet.
5 This property is a part of a subdivision,
6 Green Bluff Acres, which is a 12-lot subdivision that
7 was platted in 1992.
8 Directly east of this property is a 7-lot
9 subdivision, Meadow Brook Acres, that was platted in
10 1996.
11 According to the Assessor's records,
12 there is one commercial building on the property that
13 was built in 1987, which would be considered a prior
14 existing non-conforming use.
15 A large portion of this property appears
16 to be within the floodplain.
17 STAFF COMMENTS: In the Justification for
18 Rezoning, the applicant mentions they have expanded
19 their facilities and shipping containers. Shipping
20 containers are not permitted as storage units in
21 Franklin County. It will need to be removed from the
22 property.
23 Rezonings are allowed in our regulations
24 due to the ever-changing conditions that exist in the
25 county and elsewhere. According to Article 14,

8 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Thank you.
9 Is the applicant present? If you want to

11 address, and sign in, please.
12 MR. AARON SWANN: My name is
13 Aaron Swann. My address is 10174 Highway 100, New
14 Haven, Missouri.
15 (THEREUPON, THE WITNESS WAS
16 SWORN.)
17 CHAIRMAN EVANS; Mr. Swann, if
18 you'll give us a little bit of detail or detail on why
19 this property should be rezoned.
20 MR. SWANN: Yes. Thank you for
21 your time.
22 (THEREUPON, EVIDENCE WAS MARKED
23 FOR IDENTIFICATION AS EXHIBIT
24 1 SWANN.)
25 All right. Thank you for your time.

1 This is my wife, Claire. Claire and I own the
2 property that we're requesting to rezone.
3 CHAIRMAN EVANS: I will say
4 only one of you can speak at a time. She hasn't been
5 sworn in. So --
6 MR. SWANN: Okay. Okay.
7 I want to give you a brief history of
8 this property and a few things to consider before you
9 make a recommendation.
10 As mentioned earlier, this property has
11 been in continuous use as a storage facility since,
12 apparently, 1987. I wasn't aware of that. We
13 purchased it in 2019 with the intension to expand it.
14 The facility was full, so I was unaware
15 that I'm not allowed to have storage containers there.
16 That's partially why I'm here. I want to build the --
17 I want to expand that facility in a professional way
18 that benefits the county and provide a safe facility
19 for the residents around me.
20 We turn down business regularly from area
21 residents who need storage space to rent. We are
22 requesting for you to approve our property to be
23 rezoned so that we may expand with more self-storage
24 lockers like you have a picture on page 2. This is
25 the actual facility as it sits now, this page here.
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 20
1 So we want to build more lockers like
2 that to serve the community. We have residents from
3 west of our facility and residents from New Haven that
4 use our facility, and like I said, we get a lot of
5 requests that we have to turn down.
6 We also want to build a spot for covered
7 RV storage. As well, the example is on the front here
8 of what we might build. This is, you know, an idea we
9 have as far as the picture. This is an actual picture
10 of the exact facility. We want to build a facility
11 like that to store RVs inside on the premises as well.
12 And then we also want to build a small
13 sales office to provide a safe and professional place
14 for people to conduct business.
15 We feel this rezoning request to be
16 appropriate because the R Zoning District -- the
17 purpose of the R Zoning District is to accommodate
18 commercial uses that draw business along the major
19 highways of the county. And this is right on Highway
20 100, as you head west towards Hermann.
21 The residential development that's around
22 our storage facility, our current facility, has grown
23 up around it. The facility has been there longer than
24 the housing, and it's lived -- I've lived in the
25 neighborhood my whole life. That property has lived
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 21
1 in harmony with those residents as long as it's been
2 there. There's been no issue, been no problem this
3 entire time. Again, it's been there since 1987.
4 My wife and I own and occupy the home
5 directly to the east of it. It's a separate parcel
6 that we live in just to the east if you look at this
7 page. Any expansion that we would do, we surely
8 wouldn't do anything that would have a negative impact
9 on our own property value or our neighbor's property
10 value.
11 We have a substantial home there, and we
12 plan to stay there. We would never building anything
13 that would be a -- you know, reduce our property
14 value. That's not what we're looking to do. And we
15 don't want to reduce the property value of our
16 neighbors either.
17 So the other thing that I wanted to
18 mention is, while there's not another storage facility
19 in the area, there are other light commercial -- I
20 don't know how you guys zoned them specifically, but
21 there are other commercial properties in the immediate
22 area. There are -- there's a trucking company that
23 has a facility about a half a mile away. They have
24 recently purchased another facility that's just a
25 quarter mile away.

1 Further to the east, there's a Backes and
2 Tell Heaters, Backus Enterprises is there where they
3 sell seed and fertilizer and things like that.
4 A little further to the east towards New
5 Haven, there is a -- there's another -- there's Maczuk
6 Trucking, and he has an auto sales place right there
7 on the highway.
8 So when you drive through that part of
9 New Haven -- I don't know how familiar you guys are
10 with it -- there -- it's common for there to be kind
11 of sprinkled through there commercial -- commercial
12 properties and commercial business taking place
13 amongst the residences that are there.
14 Most of those business have -- again,
15 have been there longer than the houses. The houses
16 have grown up around them. And we're -- it's our
17 community. We don't -- we don't create issues within
18 our neighborhood. So...
19 We want our facility, you know, to be
20 attractive. We want it to mirror our home. We want
21 it to benefit the county, and we want it to align with
22 the land use goals that the County has. I'm not an
23 expert. I'm, you know, a working guy like probably
24 most of you. But we want to build an attractive
25 facility that is compatible with its current use.

1 The City of New Haven and the Board of
2 Aldermen sent a letter. I don't know if you guys
3 received it, but it's on the last page of this packet
4 that states they have no problem with it. We talked
5 to them in person. I talked to some of the aldermen.
6 They're in support of it.
7 They feel they need RV storage in the
8 area to get the RVs off the streets, you know, it's a
9 hazard for traffic and children and things like that.
10 Lastly I'd say, you know, this is an
11 expansion of a decades-old existing facility is what
12 we're looking to do. And we feel like any conflict
13 with our neighbors, you know, it's minimal and likely
14 non-existent. We've gone and talked to them about
15 this rezoning request, and we have their -- to my
16 knowledge, we have all of their support in doing this.
17 We're part of the community, and they trust that
18 anything we do is just going to benefit the community.
19 So...
20 I think that's all I had to say. You
21 guys have any questions?
22 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Commissioners
23 have any questions? Commissioner McLaren?
24 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Mr.
25 Chairman. So I guess I understand you're across the

1 highway from Backes and Toggy (ph.) from the
2 fertilizer plant, that general area?
3 MR. SWANN: No, I'm directly
4 west of there a mile.
5 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Right.
6 MR. SWANN: Yeah.
7 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Down
8 there?
9 MR. SWANN: On the same side of

11 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: On the
12 same side, okay.
13 MR. SWANN: Yeah, yeah.
14 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: That
15 makes -- understand why it's a floodplain then.
16 MR. SWANN: Yeah.
17 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: So your
18 house has been built after these storage facilities
19 are?
20 MR. SWANN: Yeah.
21 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: And your
22 subdivision existed during -- when the -- did the
23 subdivision exist when the storage buildings were
24 built?
25 MS. EAGAN: It says it in your

1 staff report. The subdivisions came in the '90s. The
2 facility was built in the '80s.
3 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Okay.
4 So there's not going to be a con- -- what I'm asking,
5 there's not going to automatically going to be a
6 conflict, but there's restrict -- homeowners
7 restrictions as part of it that you can't have a
8 commercial building in -- or a commercial building
9 inside of the subdivision. I don't want to go against
10 the preexisting homeowners restrictions.
11 MR. SWANN: To my knowledge,
12 the -- the covenants of that subdivision, just as a
13 handshake, I don't have any issues with anyone in that
14 sub- -- in Green Bluff Subdivision.
15 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I
16 understand you don't, but I didn't know if there was
17 covenants or not.
18 MR. SWANN: To my knowledge,
19 the covenants have been -- they've expired. They
20 haven't renewed them. So there are no --
21 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I don't
22 think they ever expire.
23 MR. SWANN: Someone told me
24 that. I don't believe there's any issue with that --
25 with that subdivision.

3 MR. SWANN: I have 16 units.
4 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: In the

6 MR. SWANN: Yes.
7 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: And then
8 do you foresee how this expansion you're wanting to do
9 or --
10 MR. SWANN: Yeah, I'd like to
11 add 20 to 30 storage lockers, and I'd like to add
12 space along the back of my property for 15 to 20 RVs.

23 flexible on that issue. If -- if it -- you know, the

1 there because it's a straight stretch. I'd be -- you
2 know, there's -- what I'm saying is there's a large
3 line of sight. You can see forever. I'm sure I could
4 get a -- I could get an entrance off of Highway 100
5 approved there, if there's not already, and I'd be
6 willing to do that if it -- if it helps.
7 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I don't
8 think that has anything to do the rezoning. So that
9 wouldn't -- is inconsequential to what we're talking
10 about.
11 CHAIRMAN EVANS: And most of
12 your business as you have now, is it all local New
13 Haven people that rent the storage places?
14 MR. SWANN: Yeah, I think it's
15 all of it. I'm -- I believe every -- yeah. Yeah.
16 CHAIRMAN EVANS: And most of
17 the business you turn down is also in that area?
18 MR. SWAN: Yeah. You know,
19 occasionally I get an outlier that, you know, needs a
20 storage facility quickly, and they'll -- they'll
21 somehow find me, you know.
22 But most of the business that I turn down
23 are right from -- right around the area and they're
24 generally someone I know. Just the way I run things,
25 I don't typically rent to people I don't know a little

1 bit about, you know. So yeah.
2 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Any other
3 questions?
4 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Why did
5 you pick Zoning District R?
6 MR. SWANN: Zoning District R
7 allowed for --
8 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Allows for
9 storage units, yeah.
10 MR. SWANN: Yes.
11 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Was there
12 any other reason?
13 MR. SWANN: Yeah. Zoning
14 District R, I mean, if the -- if the request that I
15 sent, Zoning District R allows for me to sell rental
16 RVs also.
17 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Scottie,
18 can I ask you a question?
19 Everything else around New Haven when we
20 did the Master Plan and then down Highway 50, are B
21 indeed does allow for storage units. Does it allow for
22 selling of the RV vehicles, because there's a lot of
23 things in R that I would not want to see. Not to say
24 what you're doing is fine, but could go in if you ever
25 sell the property being inconsistent with what we have

www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES

1 already off to New Haven on both sides of Highway 100
2 and what we had down 50 and some other areas in the
3 Master Plan.
4 MR. SWANN: Okay.
5 MS. EAGAN: So the B District
6 would allow for motor vehicle rental and service as a
7 conditional use permit. Motor vehicle sales, I don't
8 think is permitted. Let me check one more spot. So
9 they can do the rentals.
10 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Because
11 there's -- right from there, there's several motor
12 vehicle sales already in the V District down that road
13 in New Haven.
14 MS. EAGAN: Yeah, so the sale
15 is not permitted, but the rental and service would be
16 permitted -- would be a conditional use.
17 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Then we've
18 had some noncompliance already on there.
19 MS. EAGAN: Yeah, the
20 grandfathered use.
21 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Okay,
22 grandfather use. Yeah, that would be my only concern,
23 I mean, just to the group of things that R does have
24 some things potentially that could go into there. Not
25 to say your use and if you ever sell the property,
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 30
1 whatever we zone it, anything in that zoning district
2 would be approved then. And I just -- I just find
3 that probably B is more consistent with what we have
4 settled for in the New Haven area.
5 Everything else we have, if we look at
6 our zoning map, down on both sides is Zoning District
7 B. And the same for -- what we have R is usually off
8 the main down by 100 by 44 and down the 44 stretch.
9 MR. SWANN: Okay. So does -- I
10 have never done this before. Does this -- you know,
11 if I've not applied for the, you know, I guess I have
12 applied for a zoning district that I'm able to apply,
13 but if -- I'm just -- I guess if there's a better
14 zoning district, that's it. I'm open to that.
15 What we didn't talk about -- we talked
16 about storage because that's what's there and that's
17 the -- that's -- that's the most pressing thing I want
18 to do. But also I'm in the RV business. I'm a sales
19 rep in the RV business, and as a passive form of
20 income, I'd like to have a place where I could rent.
21 Everybody says RV and they think of this 40-foot bus
22 they saw on TV. I want to rent a handful of small
23 campers that I can store in that facility, that I can,
24 you know, rent to a customer, and let them go on the
25 trip of their lifetime and bring it back to me.

1 And then I'll clean it and do it again.
2 Right. I don't -- I'm not going to rent a, you know,
3 a bus, right, but that's what I'm looking to do. And
4 if there's a better fitting zoning district I'm happy
5 to accept that. But the way that business works is
6 you rent that item, you know, the little travel
7 trailer for a year or two, and then you have to turn
8 it over. You have to sell it. You know, when it's
9 past its useful life, I have to retail it as an item.
10 I need the ability to do that.
11 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Well,
12 then the R would be the appropriate zoning district
13 to --
14 MR. SWANN: Okay.
15 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: -- to
16 fit those -- what you're looking for that's what fit
17 your wants.
18 MR. SWANN: Okay. At least I
19 applied for the right thing for what I'm looking to
20 do.
21 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Any more
22 questions for the applicant?
23 COMMISSIONER MITTLER: I do.
24 On one of your pages, you're proposing to add
25 decorative fence and gates for security. Do you guys

1 currently have any theft or issues for the last couple
2 of years?
3 MR. SWANN: No. There's no
4 fencing there right now. We -- we really -- again,
5 live right next door. I work from home, so I'm there
6 a lot, but no, we don't have any -- any -- we don't
7 have any issues that I've had in the last couple of
8 years. We've been real fortunate.
9 CHAIRMAN EVANS: And just
10 looking at the answers you've filled in for the -- on
11 the application, I didn't see any reference to rentals
12 or sales. Did I miss that, or is it in there?
13 MR. SWANN: If you look at Item
14 Number 1, at the very bottom, I don't know if you're
15 looking at the exact same thing I am. I'm looking at
16 this. I don't know if you reformatted this, but --
17 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Okay.
18 MR. SWANN: -- where it says
19 explain how we further the purpose. At the beginning
20 of the applicable zoning district classification
21 Unified Land Use Regulations.
22 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Okay. I see
23 the last sentence is just so ambiguous that would
24 accommodate the sale -- rental of sale items, boats
25 and RVs.

1 MR. SWANN: Yeah, I apologize
2 if that seems ambiguous. I, you know, as stated, I
3 plan to rent a handful of small RVs and at the end of
4 their life cycle, I have -- you know, that's just the
5 business of rental RVs, that you turn your inventory
6 and repeat.
7 CHAIRMAN EVANS; Okay.
8 Anything other questions?
9 (NONE)
10 Thank you.
11 Commissioner McLaren, do you have another
12 question?
13 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I really
14 don't have a question. I will say I kind of concur
15 with Dan, that we need to look at the other uses.
16 It's nothing with you all here, but you know, I'm sure
17 your neighbors are very happy with you. Your facility
18 looks good, but we got to look at not what you want to
19 do, but what all the potential other things are that
20 can be in that zoning district.
21 So it's not about you. It's about all
22 the other things that could be there.
23 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Right, when we
24 rezone, we look at the 40 some odd permitted uses, and
25 you can tell us that you're going to put in storage
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 34
1 units, and we can send this recommendation to the
2 Commission to approve it. And you can put something
3 else in, send it over to rezoning. It does not give
4 you permission to do that. It gives you permission to
5 do any one of the permitted uses that's in that
6 district.
7 So that's what we have to consider.
8 Questions, comments?
9 (NONE)
10 Thank you.
11 MR. SWANN: Thank you.
12 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Scottie, the
13 other businesses that are mentioned in there, the
14 trucking and Backes, those are permitted in the
15 current zoning, correct?
16 MS. EAGAN: It just depends
17 what exactly they're doing at these locations. Backes
18 and Tell most likely would be because it would be
19 considered an agricultural business.
20 The truck business I honestly don't know
21 what the use. I'd have to look into it and see.
22 CHAIRMAN EVANS: And all the
23 zoning around there is currently in the W, correct?
24 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: W and then
25 B.

1 MS. EAGAN: Both.
2 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Down the
3 road, down 100, on both sides of New Haven is B.
4 CHAIRMAN EVANS: All right. So
5 this would be the only R in --
6 MS. EAGAN: So there's B that's
7 closer to New Haven. They're right here. So right
8 where Olive Road comes out on 100 is where the B
9 stops.
10 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Is there any R
11 up there by Pacific?
12 MS. EAGAN: No, there's no R on
13 this portion of Highway 100.
14 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Is Sandy
15 Lake, the wedding venue, is that also W?
16 MS. EAGAN: Yes.
17 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Olive is
18 where that -- Vatterott has his conference center.
19 MS. EAGAN: Yeah, Cedar Creek
20 is up on Olive.
21 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah, and
22 that's actually not really close to 100. I think
23 that's down a piece.
24 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Yeah.
25 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Right up

1 the road on Olive is a commercial lawnmower, small
2 engine repair and sales shop there. It's just 400
3 feet up Olive.
4 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: North of
5 Olive there?
6 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: North on
7 Olive.
8 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: I guess I
9 don't -- when I go by, I didn't pay attention.
10 CHAIRMAN EVANS: So it's --
11 since that would be the only R there, and I don't want
12 to use the term spot zoning, but -- and it's also why
13 asked if most of his business was local or in that
14 area, in which case, you can make the case that it
15 would be appropriate. It's just not for his business,
16 but it would be for the benefit of the neighborhood.
17 But then it's mentioned it's kind of
18 hard. There are a few things they may have -- some of
19 the Commissioners may have an issue with.
20 And then once again, this is a rezoning.
21 So we'll recommend to the Franklin County Commission,
22 and they'll have their own little hearing on this to
23 look at it.

19 never ever had any issues with it. We probably -- me
20 and my wife owned it for 10 or 15, maybe 10 years,
21 something like that. I really don't remember.
22 Never had any issues with anything. We
23 always kept it nice and clean. Aaron is doing the
24 exact same thing, and like he stated, the community
25 actually really likes that storage unit. It's kind of

1 out of town because then you can have a boat maybe or
2 the campers, which we never did do it. I just never
3 had time to mess with it really. But what he's
4 wanting to do is going to be definitely a major asset
5 to the community.
6 I do a lot of business in New Haven. I
7 own quite a bit of property in New Haven, and I've
8 talked to a lot of people, and they -- they knew about
9 this. And they said that this is really a good thing.
10 New Haven is a small community, and
11 anything we can do to get more people to be -- to get
12 excited about our area and just help the community, to
13 us is that's a very beneficial thing.
14 I know like your concerned that the R
15 maybe put you somewhere you don't want to be with that
16 spot zoning. I don't know the answer to that. That's
17 -- you guys get to do that, but I -- I mean, and my
18 house is directly right across the street from there.
19 I own three houses there personally, and it would
20 never affect the property value of mine I'm sure. And
21 -- and that's just kind of like what I'd like to say.
22 So...

8 comments you'd like to add in the closing or

10 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Once
11 again, I'll concur with Dan. I feel much better about
12 Dan's idea than a CUP on this as I do to go to the R
13 zone. I'm going to have a very difficult time because
14 there's nothing else close to here that's R zoning,
15 and I'm going to have a very difficult time voting for
16 this where I think I could vote for the other.
17 COMMISSIONER WILLETTE: I do
18 agree about that. I'm having a difficult time with
19 all the additional things that would be approved or
20 would be something that a future owner could do that
21 just does not fit with the surrounding area.
22 A question for Scottie. Could they get a
23 CUP for sales?
24 MS. EAGAN: Not in the B
25 District.

1 COMMISSIONER WILLETTE: It's
2 not -- it's not permitted?
3 MS. EAGAN: No.
4 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Scottie, I was
5 looking here for a CUP. What district would that have
6 to be?
7 MS. EAGAN: I'm sorry?
8 CHAIRMAN EVANS: If they wanted
9 to use the conditional use permit, or is that -- and,
10 Bill, that's what you were talking about, I guess,
11 going with a CUP?
12 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Well, it
13 would allow them to do rentals is what I thought she
14 said.
15 MS. EAGAN: It allows -- so the
16 B District allows them to do the rentals as a
17 conditional use permit, but it does not allow for
18 sales. So sales are only allowed in R, A, and G.
19 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Okay. I guess
20 that would be the issue then. Again, sales are what in
21 R?
22 MS. EAGAN: R, A and G.
23 CHAIRMAN EVANS: R, A and G.
24 MS. EAGAN: So out of those
25 three, R makes the most sense for what they're wanting

www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES

1 to do.
2 CHAIRMAN EVANS: It would just
3 preclude the sales?
4 MS. EAGAN: Sales would be
5 permitted in R.
6 CHAIRMAN EVANS: In R, sorry.
7 MS. EAGAN: Yeah, which is what
8 they're trying to do.
9 CHAIRMAN EVANS: But if they
10 wanted to do the CUP route, then what option would
11 they have?
12 MS. EAGAN: If you -- if they
13 wanted to change to B, they could only do the rentals
14 on a conditional use permit, but then he would be
15 stuck with the RV or have to go somewhere else to sell
16 it.
17 CHAIRMAN EVANS: That would be
18 the issue with a conditional use permit, is that it's
19 not available in the district to accomplish both
20 things, the sales and the storage.
21 I guess the conundrum is what to pick
22 then. Again, we have to recommend something to the
23 Commission.

25 once again, the conundrum is what fits in the area not

2 they're great people, but I truly don't know that you
3 could say that R fits here with the way everything
4 else is. I mean...
5 MS. EAGAN: And Mark can
6 correct me if I'm wrong, but their application asked
7 for R. We can't change it.
8 COUNTY ATTORNEY PIONTEK:
9 Correct. Yeah.
10 MS. EAGAN: So that's what we
11 have to -- well, you have to recommend tonight is
12 based on the R District.
13 COMMISSIONER WILLETTE: So it
14 sounds to me like that leaves assuming we do not
15 approve the R tonight, that leaves the applicant with
16 the decision to possibly come back and ask for a B
17 zoning, and -- but he would have to make other
18 arrangements for the sales portions. You'd have to
19 take your older RV off site and sell it somewhere
20 else. I suppose --
21 MS. EAGAN: Well, and it still
22 goes before County Commission whether you guys vote to
23 recommend approval or denial. So --
24 COMMISSIONER WILLETTE: Right.
25 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: I think

1 that is asking an awful lot for an applicant to have a
2 rental facility and he wants to sell his overstock
3 equipment, his campers, saying you can go ahead and
4 rent them here all day long, but if you want to sell
5 one of the small ones, you have to take it somewhere
6 else, take it down the road. Put it on somebody's
7 front yard and put a for sale sign on it. I can see
8 all the way up and down Highway 100.
9 I mean, we have every Sunday you go up
10 and down 100. There's campers and automobiles with
11 for sale signs all over them.
12 Okay. Some of the uses that may be
13 intimidating in the R District that you all are
14 looking at in here, I think the fact that this is --
15 the majority of the property is in a floodplain. That
16 would preclude the building of a facility that
17 probably would not be agreeable to a lot of people.
18 It's a storage facility, and I don't know
19 that the property itself lends itself to much else
20 other than that. And most of the facilities in B
21 zoning are going to be what's in R zoning. There are
22 some things that may be in the R that may be a little
23 more objectionable, but I don't know that they're
24 going to be really interested in doing something like
25 that here. Just something to consider. I mean,

1 you're changing zoning from what it is right now to R
2 or B, call it spot zoning or whatever you like. But
3 you are replying to a request -- addressing a request
4 that the property owner has brought to us.
5 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Any other
6 discussion?
7 (NONE)
8 And we're charged with making a
9 recommendation to the Commission, who will have their
10 own public hearing, and they will decide what -- what
11 the final zoning will be as recommended for or
12 against.
13 So I don't see any benefit at all in
14 keeping this on the agenda or tabling it, but making a
15 recommendation so we can move it up to the Commission.
16 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Mr.
17 Commission, I would like to make a motion to recommend
18 to the County Commission that we approve the
19 applicant's request to change the zoning to an R
20 District.

1 MS. WILLIFORD: Hello. My name
2 is Samantha Williford. I own and operation Lost Hill
3 Lake Weddings and Events in St. Clair, Missouri.
4 We've been running this business since
5 2013, and we host mainly weddings, retreats, camping
6 trips and music festivals.
7 Today I'm applying for an amendment for
8 our Special Events, Occasional permit. Our address is
9 2300 Mill Hill Road, St. Clair, Missouri, and also 783
10 Lost Hill Lake Road, St. Clair, Missouri.
11 We'd like to host our first annual Grove
12 of Lights Holiday Experience starting Friday, November
13 19, 2021 going through Sunday, January 2, 2022.
14 We would be open Friday, Saturday and
15 Sundays from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for this event,
16 and our last admission would be 9:15 p.m.
17 Tickets would be sold on event site, and
18 also could be purchased at the gate. Guests would be
19 required to sign the liability waiver upon entering
20 the property.
21 Guests would spend one to two hours on
22 site looking at holiday lights, taking photos, warming
23 up by bonfires, holiday theme -- planned holiday yard
24 games and grabbing food and drug from the food and bar
25 vendor.

www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 49
1 On Saturday nights, we'll have Santa on
2 site and up to 15 craft vendors under our large
3 pavilion so guests can shop as well this holiday
4 season.
5 If we have snow or ice on -- and the
6 roads were unsafe for guests to travel on a day that
7 we are open, we will cancel the event for that day and
8 tickets would be valid on another night.
9 We are proposing to be open in November
10 and December and for this season, I guess, January
11 because January 1st and 2nd is a Saturday and Sunday
12 this yea.
13 So some things to discuss, commercial
14 entrance and no traffic on the county road. So we
15 currently have the commercial entrance, and we would
16 have our gate, which is what we actually have guests
17 stop and sign the paperwork and check in with their
18 ticket and everything. That would be inside our
19 parking lot ensuring that if we had a car of lines
20 (sic), there would be no cars are backing up onto Mill
21 Hill Road. We understand that we cannot have cars
22 backed up on the county road.
23 Trash and recycling and rest rooms.
24 Trash and recycling cans will be provided all around
25 the venue, and at the end of the night, we dispose of

1 everything properly in our Dumpsters.
2 We have a rest room lodge with heat on
3 the site, as well as Port-A-Potties that we rent from
4 R & R Sanitation. And Port-A-Potties and hand-washing
5 stations would be available in the parking lot area.
6 And then the actual rest room lodge is kind of inside
7 the venue where the main event was taking place.
8 Alcohol and food. We work with a
9 licensed insured bar company for drinks, and we will
10 also have one food vendor on site for this event.
11 They will have the proper licensing, insurance and
12 permits to be a food vendor for this event.
13 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Any questions
14 for the applicant?
15 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: So all
16 this is going to be in the same containment area,
17 south of Mill Road there?
18 MS. WILLIFORD: Uh-huh. Yes.
19 Where we currently have the Special Events, Occasional
20 Permit that we've been doing events mainly in the
21 summertime, but I just had a great idea for a winter
22 event.
23 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: So you'd
24 be using the property that's to the ride of Mill Road
25 a little bit, Lost Lake Fairgrounds?
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 51
1 MS. WILLIFORD: We would not be
2 using that for this event, no. It would all be in the
3 main kind of wedding venue area that we -- that we
4 have a big parking lot attached to.
5 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: Do you
6 have an expected capacity limit?
7 MS. WILLIFORD: I think our
8 permit is 4,000 people, but we would not expect that
9 in one night. That would be really amazing, but I
10 don't think that we would expect that in one night.
11 A thousand people a night would be
12 wonderful. Two thousand people. We've never done
13 anything like this where it's just a one-day event and
14 reoccurring (sic). Everything that we've done in the
15 past has been a weekend type event, and it's one time.
16 Then it's over for the year.
17 So we're not really sure what to expect
18 with actual turnout, but I could not imagine it would
19 be 4,000 people per night.
20 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: You had
21 addressed the backing up of the vehicles on the county
22 road. Mill Hill is not the greatest road, but it's --
23 it's still a paved road.
24 MS. WILLIFORD: Sure.
25 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: And we
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 52
1 do maintain it. We plow snow in the area.
2 Do you anticipate in your event having
3 enough room inside there for the vehicles to pull in
4 and get off of the road?
5 MS. WILLIFORD: Yes. So where
6 we will have our gate inside of our kind of parking
7 lot area, I would say at least 20 cars can be lined up
8 at the gate and coming -- you know, if we had that
9 sort of line. But I'm not anticipating that sort of
10 line. The whole parking lot area is about six-,
11 seven-acre field. So we have a lot of space to park
12 cars and everything.
13 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Well, if
14 you're going to get a thousand to four thousand
15 people, you need a lot of area.
16 MS. WILLIFORD: Yeah, for sure.
17 That's what we hope for.
18 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: And the
19 reason I bring it up from the County's perspective, if
20 cars do start to back up, I would have to have -- as
21 the Highway Administrator, I'd have to monitor that
22 and have the Sheriff shut that down to where no more
23 vehicles would be allowed to stage out on the county
24 road.
25 MS. WILLIFORD: Yeah, we
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 53
1 understand that that's a big deal, and if we had to,
2 if we had such a line, we would pull people off into a
3 sort of a waiting area to kind of get them out of the
4 line and everything. So --
5 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: But
6 you'd also still have to maintain a way for emergency
7 vehicles to get in or out.
8 MS. WILLIFORD: Uh-huh, yeah.
9 The entrance is big enough that we can have people
10 going both ways if we needed to.
11 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Okay.
12 MS. WILLIFORD: And then we do
13 actually have a service entrance over at our venue
14 side. That is a fire lane entrance, kind of over by
15 the rest room area, if we did have to have emergency
16 vehicles.
17 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Okay.
18 CHAIRMAN EVANS: So basically
19 amending your previous CUP conditions on there that
20 would have to be modified or you have April through
21 October. Obviously you want to go November and
22 December.
23 You also have on there end at 1:00 a.m.
24 So just event you're saying would be 5:00 to 10:00?
25 MS. WILLIFORD: Yeah, I'm not

www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 54
1 looking to be out till 1:00 a.m., absolutely not.
2 MS. EAGAN: And I wouldn't
3 recommend modifying any other conditions besides what
4 she's requesting because those would affect her other
5 events that she has out there.
6 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Right. Right.
7 That's what I -- I had gone through them and I saw
8 that everything else would be appropriate to be left
9 in place.
10 MS. EAGAN: And it sounds like
11 January might even be added.
12 MS. WILLIFORD: Yeah, I guess
13 that would be true.
14 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Mr.
15 Chairman?
16 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Mr. McLaren.
17 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I have a
18 question that may take Samantha and Scottie both to
19 answer it.
20 Is this -- between the two CUPs, is it on
21 all the property, or is it just -- because one
22 property had the CUP on one side of the road, and one
23 property had the CUP on the other side of the road.
24 MS. EAGAN: So the Special
25 Events, Occasional is restricted to just the property
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 55
1 south of Mill Hill Road.
2 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: All
3 right.
4 MS. EAGAN: And on her original
5 one for the weddings, they did do a portion of the
6 properties to the north for like getting ready and
7 fixtures and stuff like that.
8 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Okay.
9 And that's just -- I wanted clarification on that
10 because it was kind of getting confusing in my brain
11 here what's -- where something starts and where
12 something stops.
13 You know, the only thing that I truly see
14 is a more significant problem here than has been in
15 the past. You know, how big of your -- your summer
16 events, how big of an event have you had?
17 MS. WILLIFORD: Probably --
18 it's hard to say, but 1,300.
19 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Okay.
20 MS. WILLIFORD: On site at one
21 time. And people are usually camping for those.
22 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Okay.
23 And didn't have any issues with any of that?
24 MS. WILLIFORD: No.
25 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Okay.
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 56
1 So my issue is now you're bringing people
2 in in the dark as opposed to bringing them in in the
3 daylight because -- and you know the end of October,
4 the first of November, daylight savings time changes
5 to it's dark at five o'clock. And you've got it dark
6 down there by the river. Do we have -- and we don't
7 have any streetlights down there.
8 And you don't want a lot of light because
9 I'm assuming you'll want to do Christmas lights up in
10 the trees and all that, but I -- I don't know how you
11 safely do this without having some lighting on the
12 road or some lighting at the parking area or
13 something. Because you got the river there, you're
14 going to have little kids, that's my -- if you want to
15 address that.
16 MS. WILLIFORD: Sure,
17 absolutely.
18 So we will have -- we'll be renting from
19 this company in Villa Ridge. It's called Green to Go
20 and they have these big construction like lighting
21 things that we'll be renting a few of those for the
22 parking lot to definitely be lighting that area.
23 And then inside the actual venue, it will
24 be pretty lit up from the actual light displays and
25 everything. So once they're on the property, you
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 57
1 know, safety is a top concern. We're a family
2 friendly place for sure. I'll have my children down
3 there.
4 So definitely once they're there, we can
5 ensure that they are -- it is a lit-up safe operation.
6 Absolutely. And we would love it if the County
7 Highway wanted to add some light along Mill Hill Road.
8 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: We'll
9 run that by the Commission.
10 MS. WILLIFORD: And we will --
11 we're leaning to kind of that we have a paper that you
12 sign right at the front of our entrance and
13 everything, and we're thinking that's going to be lit
14 up pretty up too with one of these rented lights.
15 So we're trying to put like a spotlight
16 on the actual entrance and everything.
17 CHAIRMAN EVANS: I know you're
18 requesting through January 2, 2022. So you -- the way
19 you have this worded, first annual, and you really
20 don't say anything about having -- having it on an
21 annual basis since you have the dates here from
22 November 19th to January 2, 2022.
23 MS. WILLIFORD: Yeah, the first
24 year the dates will shift, and I think every year
25 depending on the success of the event, you know, just
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 58
1 because this is the first year, we're not sure if the
2 weekend after Christmas is going to be -- we want to
3 stay open and try it out, but we're not sure if that's
4 going to be worth it in the future, and every year the
5 dates are a little bit different.
6 We would like to start the weekend before
7 Thanksgiving and go until the weekend after Christmas.
8 CHAIRMAN EVANS: And that's why
9 I asked because the dates may shift, but if they're
10 put in the CUP, they won't shift.
11 MS. WILLIFORD: I see.
12 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Any other
13 questions for the applicant?
14 (NONE)
15 Thank you.
16 Anyone else wishing to speak in favor of
17 this file?
18 (NONE)
19 Anyone present wishing to speak in
20 opposition?
21 (NONE)
22 Any discussion from the Commissioners?
23 I say basically it looks like they're
24 adding too much to it and changing the times. All the
25 other are just 12 conditions, and the other 10, I
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 59
1 would suggest would stay in place.
2 MS. EAGAN: I didn't think she
3 wanted to change the time.
4 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Huh, pardon?
5 MS. EAGAN: I didn't think she
6 wanted to change the time because it would affect her
7 other events that she has in the summer.
8 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Right. That's
9 what I was saying, is we do have to put that in here
10 for this event. Because if we don't change the time,
11 she could stay open till 1:00 a.m., and this is --
12 she's requesting to close at 10:00 p.m.
13 MS. EAGAN: Oh, you mean put
14 another condition of like in November, December,
15 January, --
16 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Right.
17 MS. EAGAN: -- hours of
18 operation?
19 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Right.
20 Because her summer events that go till 1:00 a.m., and
21 this goes to 10:00, 5:00 to 10:00.
22 Just mainly concern would be too was if
23 you're familiar with -- or even if you are familiar
24 with that road, it's tough to drive at night.
25 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Mr.

1 Chairman, I want to see everybody -- I want to see
2 everybody be successful in any venture they do, but I
3 think that 4,000 people down there in the dark is an
4 awful lot of people. If we're going to amend
5 something, I think that we ought amend that to a more
6 reasonable number than that. That's an awful lot of
7 cars, awful lot of people down there in the dark.
8 MS. EAGAN: I can tell you
9 there is no limit on this CUP for these Special
10 Events, Occasional.
11 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Okay.
12 MS. EAGAN: The only limits you
13 guys put on it were for bathrooms and hand-washing
14 stations that you need 1 per every 50 guests, but
15 there is nothing in here limiting her to any number of
16 people.
17 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I
18 thought I heard testimony of 4,000.
19 MS. EAGAN: She said she
20 thought that was a condition, but it's not.
21 CHAIRMAN EVANS: But we -- I
22 mean, we can make it a condition. I mean, I think she
23 said she -- in her summer events, she has had a
24 maximum of 1,300. So we have the option to put a
25 number on it if we so choose.

1 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: I just did
2 a little math, but I looked at the area that she has.
3 I was going to say it's probably about five acres, but
4 the way it's laid out when you come in there, if you
5 have 1,300 people and then 4 people per car, that
6 would be 325 cars. You can't fit much more than that
7 in that area that she has already.
8 I mean, her parking is going to limit the
9 number of people that she may have in the space. I
10 would imagine that you could probably throw a few more
11 in off to the side, but I would say 1,500 people is
12 probably the max that you're going to fit into a
13 parking space with the number of cars that you can
14 accommodate.
15 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Well,
16 wouldn't it stand to reason that in a venue like this,
17 that if they're running from five o'clock in the
18 evening till ten o'clock in the evening, that 1,300
19 people won't get there at 5:00 and stay till 10:00.
20 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Yeah.
21 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: So
22 stagger that 1,300 over a five-hour period or even a
23 three-hour period that they stay for two hours would
24 probably be -- to be expected.
25 I know at Tillis Park in St. Louis
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021

1 County, it's about an hour and a half event, and I
2 know some of the drive-thru ones where all you do is
3 drive through and see the lights, those are an hour.
4 This one I think is a little bit more
5 because you're going to get -- there's some crafts and
6 things like that. So I think if they have 400 people
7 there at any given time, is probably a little more
8 reality. So with 400 people, they'll probably have
9 130 cars, 3 1/2 people to a car, something like that.
10 And again she said that, you know, they
11 will queue a lot of the cars inside and not let them
12 on the county road. My concern is that the county
13 roads don't get as much attention as they should when
14 we do get snow and ice. So you would have to make it
15 a point, because there is an activity like that, we'll
16 have to change our --
17 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Schedule.
18 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: --
19 schedule a little bit to make sure that we're down
20 there taking care of things like that. And we do
21 that. That's part of what we do.
22 CHAIRMAN EVANS: And she says
23 in their statements that she would expect people to
24 stay one to two hours.
25 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: The other
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 63
1 thing you're saying ten o'clock. I mean, they'll be
2 9:15 and you're going to try to get -- I think you
3 should push that to 10:30 or 11:00 because 9:15,
4 you're not going to get 300 people out of there in 45
5 minutes, you know.
6 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah, we agree
7 if you're going to let people in at 9:15 and close at
8 10:00, they're not going to --
9 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: Yeah. Be
10 happy.
11 CHAIRMAN EVANS: -- not going
12 to be happy.
13 MS. WILLIFORD: They will get
14 that information at the gate, but you know, if they
15 choose to come in at the latest at 9:15, we do have a
16 hard ten o'clock closing time. We are -- I have two
17 small children. I don't want to be out later than
18 that, so if we needed to say that the last admission
19 will be at nine o'clock so people could have a full
20 hour, that would be great.
21 And then our staff will be at least 30
22 minutes to kind of do all the trash and clean
23 everything up and turn all the lights off and all of
24 that. So we would really realistically like to be
25 shutting the space down by 10:30, 11:00 at the
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 64
1 absolutely latest. But that would be just for our few
2 staff members getting cleaned up.
3 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Have you been
4 to any other -- obviously you one exactly like this
5 where you have people who come in, stay, keep moving
6 and leave? Obviously this is lights, so...
7 MS. WILLIFORD: We haven't had
8 anything like this. This is -- you know, a wedding is
9 so different from this type of event, and then our
10 other public events have mainly been an overnight
11 camping type of thing. So this is unique.
12 But I thin 1,500 in an evening of us
13 being open would be plenty that we would feel
14 comfortable that the grounds could handle, the staff
15 could handle, that the land, everything could handle.
16 I can't imagine we would have more than
17 that in one evening. And even for our summer events,
18 15 -- after doing these, I do not want more than 1,500
19 people on our property. So I think it would be good at
20 that number of 1,500 as a capacity.
21 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Any other
22 questions for the applicant?
23 (NONE)
24 Thank you.
25 Any further discussion?

1 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I guess
2 personally, if Jim feels very confident in what the
3 road can handle and what the sights is down there, I
4 don't have any other comments.
5 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: We would
6 just have to monitor it the first even and keep them
7 alerted, and they have to keep us alerted too.
8 MS. WILLIFORD: And something
9 we really try to bring our clients a specific way. So
10 on our website we have a direction option, and then
11 even all ticket holders will get sort of a welcome
12 e-mail about the event and we can have specific
13 directions.
14 And the way that we really like to take
15 people is through St. Clair, kind of right past Main
16 Street by Melissa's Cafe coming down Mill Hill Road
17 and four and a half miles almost straight shot to turn
18 right into our venue driveway. So that's the way we
19 really like to take people.
20 Of course, GPS takes people all sorts of
21 different ways, and it will get them there, but that
22 is the route we like to take them.
23 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Okay.
24 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Thank you.
25 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: That
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 66
1 would be our preference you taking them that way.
2 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Any further
3 discussion?
4 (NONE)
5 It seems like the issues would be we have
6 12 conditions under original CUP, and we'd obviously
7 have to have that amended and however we want to word
8 this. We want to make this specific to the winter
9 months and the times.
10 And, Scottie, I don't know how we want to
11 word that. The first annual holiday experience
12 starting April 19th (sic) through January 2nd, and the
13 next one Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 5:00 to 10:00, last
14 admission at 9:15. And then a maximum capacity of
15 1,500.
16 MS. EAGAN: I mean, do we want
17 to get involved in the whole last admission thing? I
18 don't think we should.
19 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah, that we
20 could leave that out and close at 10:00.
21 MS. EAGAN: Then I would just
22 leave it as January because it could fluctuate each
23 year. It might not always be the 2nd. It could be
24 the 3rd or --
25 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: What if
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 67
1 you said the first weekend in January.
2 MS. EAGAN: Right.
3 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: Because
4 New Year's Even is one weekend, and Christmas. So if
5 we say the first weekend in January. At least you're
6 not going to be open for the whole month of January.
7 MS. EAGAN: Right.
8 CHAIRMAN EVANS: So they'd be
9 open Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 5:00 to 10:00 p.m.
10 And it would be -- she has November 19th,
11 so we just want to put that date or just say November
12 through the first weekend of January?
13 COMMISSIONER HARTMANN: Sounds
14 good to me.
15 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: Yeah.
16 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Yeah.
17 CHAIRMAN EVANS: With the
18 maximum capacity of 1,500.
19 Anyone think of anything else to add or
20 anything they disagree with with those conditions?
21 MS. EAGAN: Did you leave it at
22 10:00 p.m.?
23 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah, 10:00
24 p.m.
25 MS. EAGAN: Knowing staff would

www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 68
1 be there later cleaning up, you guys are okay with
2 that?
3 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah. I would
4 think, yeah, that the event would go to 10:00 p.m. So
5 you assume there'd be cleanup afterwards. And we'll
6 just, as you mentioned, drop the last admission.
7 And this would all be specific to the
8 Grove of Lights Holiday Experience.
9 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Could
10 Scottie read the conditions back to us, please?
11 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah.
12 MS. EAGAN: Hold on one second.
13 Okay. So we have all activities shall
14 run April through the first weekend of January. We're
15 amending number 7.
16 And then we're adding number 13, hours of
17 operation for events held in November through the
18 first weekend of January shall be Friday, Saturday and
19 Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
20 And then the maximum number of guests for
21 events that run November through the first weekend of
22 January shall be limited to 1,500 people.
23 CHAIRMAN EVANS: I think that
24 covers it.
25 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: The only

www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 69
1 other thing would be lighting out on the road at the
2 entrance.
3 CHAIRMAN EVANS: And once they
4 get on the road, we can't --
5 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: I mean,
6 I don't know if you police it. They can't put lights
7 on the road. I'd have to put them on the road. I'm
8 not going to do that.
9 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: If you
10 want to see the sign, you're going to have to put
11 lighting on it for the event. Otherwise, people are
12 going to go by it.
13 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: They can
14 light up the entrance all they want.
15 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: That's
16 what I was talking about.
17 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Any other
18 discussion? Do the set of conditions sound all right?
19 And that would be as we say, we have the
20 -- all the other conditions will stay the same except
21 7 and 8. And when this CUP is -- correct me if I'm
22 wrong -- is slightly different than this CUP is with
23 the owner of the land and not the parcel.
24 So if the owner changes hands, the CUP is
25 void.

1 MS. EAGAN: Correct.
2 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Where most of
3 the CUPs go with the land, this goes with the owner.
4 So if she sells it, the CUP is void.
5 MS. EAGAN: Now, I didn't modify
6 number 8. I just added number 13, which are the hours
7 of operation for these specific events.
8 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah.
9 November, December, okay.

9 COMMISSIONER WILLETTE: I'd
10 like to comment that what Commissioner Grutsch brought
11 up about the property being in a floodplain, in my
12 mind, that takes care of the problems were brought up
13 about the R zoning. Some of the things listed that
14 are approved activities in that R zoning would not be
15 approved in a floodplain.
16 So I'm in favor.
17 CHAIRMAN EVANS: I would say
18 this is probably the appropriate zoning. It's just
19 that I don't like the fact that it's -- it would be
20 the only R there and spot zoning and preexisted, but
21 if it would serve the surrounding community, again
22 like Debbie mentioned, it -- being in the floodplain
23 probably precludes a lot of the permitted uses.
24 And again this is a recommendation to the
25 Commission. They'll have the final say. So we'll
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 73
1 give them our opinion, and let them decide.
2 MS. EAGAN: Bill, can I just
3 clarify. Even though it's floodplain, people can
4 still build in it. They would just need to get a
5 floodplain development permit and elevation
6 certificate. So just by saying it's in the
7 floodplain, it's not allowed. That's not necessarily
8 true.
9 CHAIRMAN EVANS: All right. So
10 we just affect different things, I assume, even
11 insurance and those type of things were needed.
12 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: You
13 would not find a medical marijuana dispensary being
14 built.
15 MS. EAGAN: That's correct.
16 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: You
17 would not find a number of the things that are in R
18 zoning being built in a floodplain. But Scottie is
19 saying it could be -- could be.
20 MS. EAGAN: Possibility.
21 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: But the
22 likelihood is pretty remote.
23 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: You know
24 we're getting to where we're parsing stuff here, so I
25 like parsing.

1 Is it a floodplain or is it a floodway,
2 is it the 100-year floodplain or is it 500-year
3 floodplain?
4 MS. EAGAN: It's definitely
5 100-year floodplain. As far as floodway, I wouldn't
6 know unless I got on FEMA's map.
7 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: You know
8 it's pretty easy to correct a 100-year floodplain.

10 that runs right behind it.

11 Anything the Commissioners would like to discuss?
12 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: I do want
13 to just bring one thing. I know Scottie's is not
14 going to like this, but in looking that we can't do
15 sales and service in the B Zoning District and we look
16 where we have it up and down 50 and 100, in areas
17 where I know there's grandfathering up that way
18 through all that.
19 That doesn't make sense to me really,
20 that maybe we should have a CUP in that -- in that
21 zoning district because, to me, it doesn't make sense.
22 MS. EAGAN: Well, I can tell
23 you what our thought process is so you can do service
24 in the B District. You just can't do sales.
25 Our though process was we wanted to have
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 78
1 people to have the ability to get their cars serviced
2 in the majority of the county. But as far as sales,
3 we thought those should stick to the major highways
4 that are closer to major -- major cities in Franklin
5 County.
6 That was our thought process when we did
7 it back in 2014, but if you guys are wanting to amend
8 it, we can for sure work on that for November.
9 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: I mean out
10 of those little markers you made for a small car lot
11 or whatever or tractor dealership wanting to sell some
12 stuff, I mean, that's what's going on right now.
13 MS. EAGAN: Well, and tractors
14 are different than automobiles.
15 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: I know.
16 MS. EAGAN: So --
17 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: But I'm
18 just saying that, you know, there might be a need to
19 do that because I don't want to be changing those B
20 Districts all the time because -- you know, in this
21 particular case, I can see why he selected that one.
22 But going forward, I mean, we have a
23 large corridors and busy highways here are going to
24 develop over the next 20 years. And do we have the
25 right, you know, area, you know.

1 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Once
2 again, I would like to agree with Dan. This is pretty
3 exceptional. I would have liked to have voted for the
4 B District or the CUP. That's really what I would
5 have liked to have done.
6 And say, you know, you can have this many
7 trailers for sale, and you can have this many trailers
8 for rent so that we don't affect the neighbors.
9 That was my concern, is I would have love
10 to say you could have six trailers for sale and twelve
11 trailers for rent. And by the way, they're going to
12 be underneath your storage facility and any way that
13 you're keeping track of them. And I think that that
14 would have been --
15 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: And none
16 of these are going to be big where they're located at.
17 We're talking about a relatively small business.
18 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Exactly.
19 I just don't want to see a buyer buy one of these out
20 there.
21 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Yeah.
22 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I mean
23 that's -- that's -- that was my thought pattern or
24 whatever the other one is in south county or --
25 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah, I agree

www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 80
1 because with the CUP, is one thing I don't like, I'm
2 sure Scottie doesn't like this when you get into
3 almost the spot zoning when you have all these little
4 spots you're going to pick out or if you have to
5 rezone them and you don't have another option like a
6 CUP.
7 Then it just kind of destroys the
8 continuity that's going to be B or R or W. Let it be
9 that with we have to modify those for some exceptions.
10 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Or
11 ultimately we want to support the businesses and the
12 development of the county, but we also got to support
13 the property owners that live there.
14 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Exactly. Which
15 is they already -- we also get into the issue was like
16 we have 53 permitted uses. So we look at all 53 have
17 an option. That we don't want to go back to the old
18 world where we have conditional use permits on
19 everything. What you're trying to get away, but
20 obviously in certain situations, it's appropriate.
21 MS. EAGAN: And that's just
22 what I want to stress, is you know, we went this route
23 of more permitted uses in more districts than
24 conditional because the staffing issue of enforcing

1 department.
2 But if you guys want, I mean, you guys
3 will have to tell me if you want me to draft an
4 amendment to include some motor vehicle sales as
5 conditional use or permitted in B.
6 CHAIRMAN EVANS: We can have
7 her do that or discuss it at the next meeting.
8 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Yeah, I
9 just kind of wanted to bring it up, and I think it's
10 worth further discussion.
11 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah, I mean,
12 that -- and that's our responsibility, is to if we see
13 something like this, to give our input so the
14 Commission can look at it. It's part of our job.
15 That's why we get paid the bucks.
16 MS. EAGAN: So if you guys
17 want, probably one of the things I was going to talk
18 about in my report I'm toying with amendments to our
19 Code to address what we consider mobile storage, which
20 are shipping containers.
21 I haven't decided which route I'm going
22 with those yet. They'll come before you in November.
23 I don't know if we'll do them just as temporary
24 storage or a lot of that has a lot of restrictions on
25 it or not. But if you want me to have a draft

1 available to present to you to vote on for motor
2 retail sales, we can do it that same month.
3 We don't have anything scheduled for
4 October. So if you want, I can draft an amendment.
5 You guys can discuss that night, either vote it up,
6 vote it down. We can move it on. It's up to you.
7 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Consensus,
8 Commissioners?
9 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: We don't
10 have anything in October?
11 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I think
12 we could do it in November, Scottie.
13 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: I think
14 so too.
15 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I don't
16 know that I'm going to be very supportive of shipping
17 containers for storage buildings. I mean, that's --
18 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: They're
19 becoming all over the county.
20 MS. EAGAN: They're becoming a
21 huge issue, and we need to address it. Right now
22 we've prohibit them. We have tons of arguments and
23 situations where it's this person gets to do this,
24 this person gets to do that. And it's just becoming a
25 nightmare. So --

1 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: But is
2 that on private property, that's not for rental, is
3 it?
4 MS. EAGAN: Correct. Some of
5 them I think do rent them out, but we can't prove it.
6 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: No. I
7 just look at some property and they had a couple on
8 it.
9 CHAIRMAN EVANS: There's a
10 complaint been filed in my township with -- with
11 shipping containers on property, among other things,
12 but shipping containers.
13 MS. EAGAN: And the issue we
14 have is there's a business in New Haven that sells
15 them to people for storage. And then they get a
16 violation notice from us. They argue at us because a
17 business in Franklin County sold it to them.
18 MS. HOLDMEIER: But the
19 business isn't in city limits.
20 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: And the
21 biggest culprits are Lowes and Schnuck's and the big
22 box stores because of Walmart. There's 50 of them --
23 MS. EAGAN: They have them all
24 the time.
25 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: -- line

1 up all the time.
2 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Uh-huh.
3 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: And the
4 cities don't enforce that. They don't even address
5 it.
6 MS. EAGAN: Right. So that's
7 why I don't know how I'm addressing it yet.
8 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: And I
9 don't know how you address it on private property.
10 MS. EAGAN: Well, it's
11 considered mobile storage at this point, and that's
12 not permitted in Franklin County.
13 MS. HOLDMEIER: Which is why
14 the rezoning we made the comment that we did.
15 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah. So
16 right now it is not allowed. Scottie would have to
17 come up with something to change it. It's not
18 permitted.
19 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: Could you
20 live in it?
21 MS. EAGAN: If you can meet all
22 the building codes for a single-family dwelling.
23 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: I was
24 going to say well, I got something e-mailed the other
25 day about survival places where they actually bury it.

1 They buried it and boy it looks pretty neat.
2 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: There
3 was a whole lot of them up in North Dakota in the oil
4 business. And they actually put four of them together
5 and call them a four-plex.
6 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah, I've
7 seen them up on DYI on TV.
8 MS. EAGAN: Yeah. I don't
9 agree with living in them, but if they meet the
10 building code, I can't stop them.
11 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: Well,
12 they are allowed in Franklin County with -- on a
13 temporary basis. If you're building a home and you --
14 MS. EAGAN: Technically they're
15 not.
16 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: -- park
17 one of those there to store your building materials
18 like a work box.
19 MS. EAGAN: It just depends on
20 who you are at this point.
21 (CROSSTALK)
22 That's why I need a regulation.
23 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: And I
24 know you do. There was some examples I heard today,
25 was through the Building Department. Says, no, that's

1 okay. You can store stuff. On a temporary basis.
2 COMMISSIONER KLENKE: Did they
3 define temporary?
4 MS. EAGAN: As long as you get
5 a building permit.
6 COMMISSIONER GRUTSCH: So you
7 pay a $25 building permit and you keep it there
8 forever.
9 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I mean,
10 on almost every job I'm on has got one wanted for a
11 lock box or a construction office. You know, you put
12 a window and a door in it, and you're good.
13 MS. EAGAN: Yeah, it's a
14 struggle.
15 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah. It's
16 the ones like down 90 where they just put it on the
17 property, and have a camper and don't know what
18 they're using it for. Nothing productive for sure,
19 not a business.
20 MS. EAGAN: Yeah, I think Jason
21 went out on one today because they had six shipping
22 containers between the actual shipping containers and
23 just, you know, the back of a semi-trailer on their
24 property that they were using for storage. And it's a
25 violation.

1 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Well, leave
2 that in your capable hands, Scottie.
3 MS. EAGAN: That's why we're
4 waiting till November.
5 CHAIRMAN EVANS: And so we have
6 nothing scheduled right now for October?
7 MS. EAGAN: Yeah, the deadline
8 was yesterday. So we won't have an October meeting.
9 November, like I said, we should have at least nine
10 amendments if you guys -- I don't think we want to do
11 the amendments? I don't think we ever addressed that
12 for motor vehicle sales.
13 CHAIRMAN EVANS: I think we
14 wanted to discuss if you could do a draft.
15 MS. EAGAN: Then you could
16 discuss it that night?
17 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Yeah, discuss
18 it that night, but just kind of give us an skeleton of
19 it.
20 MS. EAGAN: Yeah. I'd like to
21 do it sooner than later. I am expecting another child
22 next February. So I would like to not have any
23 amendments while I'm gone. I haven't broke the news
24 yet to the gentleman who will be coming to the
25 meeting. So I'll have to train him on how do

1 everything up here. So -- Crystal will still be here,
2 but she won't be running the meetings.
3 COMMISSIONER WILLETTE: Well,
4 congratulations.
5 CHAIRMAN EVANS:
6 Congratulations.
7 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Mr.
8 Chairman, since Scottie is here. Are we considering
9 motor vehicles and travel trailers to be the same
10 thing in this conversation?
11 MS. EAGAN: I believe we
12 address them as one.
13 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Are we
14 considered something with a license on it, is that...
15 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: We had a
16 discussion on those when we did it, what would
17 qualify, because I think the discussion came on
18 building a house and, you know, how long can I live
19 here temporarily and all that. I think we have that
20 somewhere in -- I don't remember where we put it.
21 MS. EAGAN: So the only -- our
22 definition of motor vehicle sales is the use of any
23 building or portion thereof or other premises or
24 portion thereof or the display, sale or lease of new
25 or used motor vehicles.
PUBLIC HEARING 9/21/2021
www.alaris.us Phone: 1.800.280.3376 Fax: 314.644.1334ALARIS LITIGATION SERVICES
Page 89
1 And then our definition of a motor
2 vehicle is a self-propelled device used for the
3 transportation of people or goods over land surfaces
4 and licensed as a motor vehicle.
5 So I believe it falls under that
6 category.
7 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I can't
8 -- how would a travel trailer fall under it?
9 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: No,
10 there's no way. A travel trailer wouldn't.
11 COMMISSIONER HARTMANN: No.
12 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: One that
13 could drive and --
14 MS. EAGAN: Oh, I guess that's
15 the only one I was thinking of.
16 CHAIRMAN EVANS: A Class A,
17 Class A.
18 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: I
19 understand that. So what we just did today is --
20 would that --
21 COMMISSIONER HAIRE: That
22 wouldn't be eligible then unless we define it
23 differently.
24 MS. EAGAN: We had another
25 category.

1 CHAIRMAN EVANS: I think you
2 want it to be a closed entity, self-propelled and
3 licensed and capable of operating on the public roads.
4 MS. EAGAN: Mark, what would
5 you classify that as?
6 COUNTY ATTORNEY PIONTEK: Let's
7 see.
8 MS. EAGAN: Because the only
9 thing we addressed in here was like RVs is just the RV
10 parks.
11 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Could you take
12 your shipping container to an RV park for two weeks?
13 MS. EAGAN: No.
14 CHAIRMAN EVANS: Well, at least
15 just something that could be researched or whatever
16 since we're not going to --
17 COMMISSIONER McLAREN: Motion
18 to adjourn.
