PLANNING COMMISSION 3 October 12, 2004
Mr. Guy Gronberg of Guy Gronberg Architects gave his address as 1817 NE Gatewood Drive in
Lee’s Summit and explained that he was present representing Froelich Pycior Companies as well as Mr. Jeff Yaegley with the Academy of Fighting Arts. He described the proposed project as a 11,250 square foot office/warehouse type building. It would incorporate stucco, brick and glass and an improved metal panel and would occupy a 1.2-acre site. This was on the southwest corner of Commerce and NW Main. Of the square footage, 6,000 square feet would be owned and occupied by the Academy of Fighting Arts, a karate school, under a Special Use
Permit. He offered to answer any questions the Commission might have about the Preliminary
Development Plan.
Following Mr. Gronberg’s remarks, Chairperson Trainer asked for staff comments.
Ms.Tyrrel entered Exhibit (A), list of exhibits 1-19 into the record and stated that the property was zoned industrial. Under the UDO, recreation facilities were allowed in industrial zones with a Special Use Permit and the building was constructed as an industrial building that could be used as such at a later time. Staff looked specifically at adequate parking and traffic volumes for the street capacity. In analyzing this application, they found that the parking to be provided was adequate and the streets had the capacity to handle the traffic. Recommendation Item 1 specified a period of ten years for the Special Use Permit, which was consistent with other similar SUPs that had been granted. Item 2 addressed the height of the shrubs screening the mechanical equipment and Item 3 required a quit claim of the storm drainage easement. The existing easements were adequate to handle the drainage and the referenced easement had been dedicated before the platting of the property. The Public Works Department had agreed to the quit claim.
Following these comments, Chairperson Trainer asked if there was anyone else present wishing to give testimony, either for or in opposition to the application. Seeing none, she asked if the
Commission had questions for the applicant or for staff. As there were none, Chairperson
Trainer closed the public hearing at 6:09 p.m. and asked for discussion, or for a motion.
Ms. Funk made a motion to recommend approval of Application 2004-194, Preliminary
Development Plan, 825 NW Commerce Dr. and Application 2004-195, Special Use Permit for karate school, Summit Tec Industrial Park, Lot 6B; Tim & Charlotte Schloss, applicant, subject to staff’s letter of November 8, specifically Recommendation Items 1 through 3. Ms. Rosenquist seconded.
Chairperson Trainer asked if there was any discussion of the motion. Hearing none, she called for a vote.
On motion of Ms. Funk, seconded by Ms. Rosenquist, the Planning Commission members voted unanimously by voice vote (Mr. Pycior not voting) to recommend APPROVAL of
Application 2004-194, Preliminary Development Plan, 825 NW Commerce Dr. and Application
2004-195, Special Use Permit for karate school, Summit Tec Industrial Park, Lot 6B; Tim &
Charlotte Schloss, applicant, subject to staff’s letter of November 8, specifically

Mr. Justin Bridges of the Davidson Design Group gave his address as 11301 Strang Line Road in Lenexa, Kansas. He described the project as an 18,000 square foot office building in the
Chapel Ridge development, very similar to the other buildings currently in the development.
The applicant agreed with staff’s one Recommendation Item, provided that the screening of the parking could be done during the second phase of the project.
Following Mr. Bridges’ remarks, Chairperson Trainer asked for staff comments.
Ms. Tyrrel entered Exhibit (A), list of exhibits 1-16 into the record and explained that the project was in two phases and the plan had not shown the screening around the parking lot. As long as they were not building the parking lot in the first phase, staff was agreeable to the screening being installed when the parking lot went in.
Following Ms. Tyrrel’s comments, Chairperson Trainer asked if there was anyone else present wishing to give testimony, either for or in opposition to the application. Seeing none, she asked if the Commission had questions for the applicant or for staff. As there were none, Chairperson
Trainer closed the public hearing at 6:12 p.m. and asked for discussion, or for a motion.
