SU-2005-02:
Public Hearing on an application for Special Use to establish a Public
Post-Secondary Education Facility in the I-1 Industrial District at 715 E. 13th
Street, Andover, Kansas. Chairman
Nelson opened the Public Hearing and asked for a report from the Zoning
Administrator.
Les
Mangus said this application for Special Use for a Post-secondary
Education Facility at 715 E. 13th Street is an addition to the
special use granted in 2003 for BCCC to convert the former Raytheon building
into classrooms. His opinion of this conversion of prime industrial property
to non-taxable educational facilities remains that there is no value to the
Community in creating an incompatible college campus in the middle of the
industrial area that has taken 40 years to build. With that said, the
previous special use set a precedence to allow this expansion to consume the
remainder of the existing building. The previous public hearing concluded
with an approval that limited the use to a portion of the existing building,
and a fair warning that to expect zoning for expansion beyond the existing
building would be frowned on. There was a copy of the minutes in the packet
for that previous case for the Planning Commission review.
Dr.
Jackie Vieti, President of Butler Community College at 901 S. Haverhill Road,
El Dorado, Kansas, said 2 years ago the school acquired 60,000 square feet
of space on 13th Street. She said their future need is for
additional space for general education classroom space, and 2 technical
programs will be moved from the El Dorado campus to Andover. They also plan
to centralize the information technology programs within the expanded
facility.
Clark
Nelson asked about Butler Community College’s long term goals with respect to
13th & 21st locations. Dr. Vieti said the intention
is to consolidate the locations to be under 2 roofs instead of 3. They think
it is in the best interest of the City of Andover to return some of the
college owned property to commercial use. The expansion on 13th Street would allow the portable classrooms on the 21st Street
location to be eliminated. Eventually the 10,000 square foot building
permanent building would be vacated that is on the northeast corner of 21st Street. She said she is not sure of the length of time the school district
will allow them to stay in the facility adjacent to the high school.
Clark
Nelson asked about the increase in the number of employees expected for this
expansion project. Dr. Vieti said as the result of the occupation of 13th Street, 11 full time faculty positions were added and additional support
staff. This expansion will add 2 full time faculty members immediately as
well as support staff. She said this expansion will add between 350 and 500
new students.
Clark
Nelson asked about the comfort level of having school students located within
an industrial area. Dr. Vieti explained community colleges are being turned
to for work force development purposes. She thinks this makes this an ideal
relationship which is supported in theory by several communities. She said
the plan for Butler Community College in Andover was to build a
multi-building campus on the land they own on the southeast corner of Andover Road and 21st Street, but after further consideration, the 13th Street facility is more efficient and less costly to occupy.
Clark
Nelson asked if the safety of the students is in question in an industrial
zoned area. Dr. Vieti said this is not a concern.
Lynn
Heath asked if the school expansion will only be inside the existing Raytheon
building. Dr. Vieti said there are 3 buildings in the complex. The north
building will be expanded and will use a portion of the existing building on
the south. The college is in the process of acquiring the second building on
a long-term lease and the third building which is a 10,000 square foot stand
alone building. She said they also envision construction of an advanced
technology center which will also be a perfect fit for the industrial area
paid for with private resources.
Clark
Nelson asked if the special use request is for the building or for the
20-acre site. Les Mangus said the legal description is very complex and
consumes the existing buildings and adjacent parking. The portion published
is only for Tract #5.
Vince
Haines from Prigmore, Krevins, Haines, & Limon Architects P.A., 101 S.
Star, El Dorado, Kansas, and designer for this facility explained the history
of this property. He said Tract #6 is not included in this request, and is an
oversight on his part. Vince Haines said he would like to amend the
application to include Tract #6. Les Mangus said that change cannot be made
without the proper notices. Dr. Vieti said Tract #6 is not critical to the current
plan of the school. They plan to sub-lease it to the current occupant (Sleep
Apnea Co.).
Jeff
Syrios asked for the name of the current owner. Dr. Vieti said the college
has signed a long-term lease agreement with Carl Solomon who agrees with the
plans for this property. Jeff Syrios said this school in the Industrial zoned
area is not consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City
of Andover. He also is concerned about a buffer between the Industrial zoning
to Single-Family dwellings. Dr. Vieti said this sharing of Industrial
property is part of a national trend of partnership for training with
industrial employees. She said this cohabitation would bring businesses to
the area for convenience of training. Jeff Syrios said this may keep out
some industrial prospects. Dr. Vieti said this building has been vacant for a
long time and she thinks the occupancy of the school and improvements they
will make is an asset to the city.
Jeff
Syrios asked if the future plan of the school is to vacate the facility on 21st
and Andover Road, the building connected to the high school will remain, and
the 13th Street facility will be totally occupied.
Jan
Cox asked if the property on the southeast corner of Andover Road and 21st
would be sold. Dr. Vieti said they plan to sell it, especially the frontage
which has far greater value to the City of Andover for commercial development.
She said the Board has not decided whether to sell the entire property.
Jeff
Syrios asked Les for his opinion on this request. Les Mangus said he is
opposed to this request because the city would never plan to put a group of
students in an industrial park especially if there were aspirations of growth
in the industrial park to the east. He recognized the special use has already
been approved for half of the building now; it is too late to call it back.
Lynn
Heath asked if this is hampering the growth of the industrial park and how
many lots are still available for development. Les said there are 2 lots
available along 13th Street, 1 which is owned by Sherwin Williams,
the other owned by Mr. Solomon (Tract 1), and the remainder of the
undeveloped Andover Industrial Park which is +/- 60 acres. There was further
discussion about development of the industrial property.
Jeff
Syrios asked if an industrial site could be built on Tract #5 of this
property. Les explained that Tract #5 encompasses the portion of the building
that the college wants to use now. Tract #6 is a small building that is
trapped in the middle of the college so the potential for industrial use is
not good. The property that is requesting the special use permit is subject
to the lease by the college which will include all of Tract 5.
Hearing
no further public comment in favor or opposition of this application,
Chairman Nelson closed the public comment and reviewed the Rezoning Report.

Z-2005-04:
Public Hearing on proposed change of zoning district classification from the
R-1 Single-Family Residential District to the B-1 Office Business District at
1139 N. Andover Road, Andover, Kansas. Chairman Nelson opened the Public Hearing and asked for a report from
the Zoning Administrator.
Les
Mangus said this application for change in zoning district classification is
adjacent to vacant business property already owned by the applicant in an
effort to put together a site with enough Andover Road frontage to support a
reasonably sized office building. The previous public hearing for the
adjacent property concluded that the change was compatible with surrounding
properties and in conformance with the comprehensive plan’s objectives to
look at each request to convert residential property along Andover Rd on a case by case basis. Staff supports approval of the application.
Dave
Rathbone of Venture Enterprises said he currently owns the property adjacent
to the north with Dr. David Foley. He said he purchased the subject property
at 1139 N. Andover Road about a month ago. He showed the Planning Commission
a site plan sketch of the office building that has a residential flair he
hopes to build. He said this office building will be occupied with an
accounting firm, and an oil firm. Both of these businesses will have a small
number of employees. He said the existing home on the site is planned to be
moved to the back lot and remodel the home and sell it. That home would then
face Main Street.
Dave
Rathbone said the property adjacent to the west is just a garage with fishing
boats in it. There is no residence on it.
Hearing
no further public comment in favor or opposition of this application,
Chairman Nelson closed the public comment and reviewed the Rezoning Report.

Clark Nelson asked if this property is subject to the
current sanitary sewer. Les Mangus said the sewer main is on Main Street. Properties that face Andover Road have a service lateral that comes off of Main Street and connects. This should be a condition of approval for the property to be
platted so that this is a lot and that a sanitary sewer public main be
extended up to service the Andover Road properties vs. the service lateral.

Having considered the evidence at the hearing and
the factors to evaluate the rezoning application, I Lynn Heath, move that
we recommend to the Governing Body that Case No. Z-2005-04 be approved to
change the zoning district classification from the R-1 Single-Family
Residential District to the B-1 Office Business District based on the
findings of the Planning Commission 6, 10, 12, 13, & 14 as recorded in
the summary of this hearing. Motion seconded by Jeff Syrios. Motion carried
5/0.

Annual Review of the Comprehensive Development Plan.
Les Mangus stated that State Law requires the Planning
Commission review the Comprehensive Plan annually to check for gross changes
in the community and to record the changes to use during the next update
process.
Clark Nelson said having a school use allowed within an
industrial area should be studied.
Les Mangus said the plan is flexible. He said this was
an existing facility which would have been easy for another industry to come
in and just change the name on the front.
Jan Cox asked if the college is a taxable entity. Jeff
Bridges said that for now it is. He said the owner of the property is paying
taxes as is the school district because it is a leased facility. After the
conditions of the lease are met the college will own the building.
Clark Nelson asked if the 21st and Andover Road area continues to develop as commercial.
Jeff Bridges explained the reason for having industrial
property is to offer well paying jobs, increase the technical proficiency of
the community, and to bring people to the community. The college is bringing
more people to Andover than any industry could, the jobs are mostly full-time
with upper end administrative or clerical positions, it just does not inspire
the sale of houses.
Les said the Planning Commission now recognizes they
have 20 acres of college in an industrial park, that the college eventually
plans to move out the 21st Street and Andover Road location. The
development of the hospital and medical offices along 21st Street
could have significant influence on the type of businesses that move into
that area.
Clark Nelson asked Les if there were any changes to the
city on the south or east sides that needs to be noted. Les said all the
improvements to Hwy. 54 and the intersection of Kellogg and Andover Road with the commercial development of the area are already mentioned in the plan.
Jeff Bridges said there is a seminar about partnerships
with industries hosted by Butler Community College and IBM on Tuesday to
train students on IBM business systems. This will be held at the 13th Street campus.
Lynn Heath said Butler Community College is also in a
partnership with Emporia State University to bring a 4-year education program
into Butler Community College.
