ORAL COMMUNICATIONS – COLTER
CHRISTENSEN; RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS WEEK
Boy Scout Colter Christensen stated he is a Life Scout
in Troop 132 and is working on his Eagle Scout project. He is presenting his
project to the City Council because he believes that a “Random Acts of Kindness

of service and make people feel friendlier toward each other and build a sense
of community unity, and hopefully, these activities will continue in the
future. During the week of June 13-18 the following are the projects that will
be promoted: 1) collect unwanted and unneeded cell phones for women in
dangerous situations, 2) collect and distribute stuffed animals for kids in
hospitals, 3) collect glasses for Lions Club, 4) collect books, CDs and DVDs
for city and school libraries, 5) organize activity night for senior citizens
at assisted living centers, 6) implement “Kindness Day” June 18th at Yanney
Park to clean up litter, plant trees and flowers, 8) encourage and promote
various service projects by community groups and churches, and 9) encourage people
to do random acts of kindness with cards, articles in the Hub and on the radio.

III. PUBLIC
HEARINGS
REZONING – SOUTHWEST OF 6560 2ND AVENUE
Mayor Hadley opened the public hearing on the
Application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for Terry Broadfoot and
Marlin Heiden (Owners) to rezone from “District AG, Agricultural District” to
“District RR-1, Rural Residential District (Rural Standards)” property
described as a tract of land being part of the Northeast Quarter of Section 23,
Township 9 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., containing 13.29 acres, more
or less, Buffalo County, Nebraska (southwest of 6560 2nd Avenue). Planning
Commission recommended approval.
The applicant is requesting approval to develop rural
property located on the west side of 2nd Avenue at about the 6500 block.
Although this property is relatively close to the development fringe along 56th
Street, it cannot be served with municipal sanitary sewer at this time or in
the near future. The Owner would like permission to build one rural residence
at this time while preparing the remainder of the land for future growth.
The North Kearney Growth Analysis Study prepared by
Miller & Associates in the early 1990’s maps the proposed routes for major
service lines providing municipal water and sanitary sewer to properties on the
north end of the city. Sewer to serve this property must come from a
considerable distance from the northeast, running west across 2nd Avenue and
then south to reach this destination. This sewer trunk line currently
terminates at Avenue N just north of 56th Street, approximately 2 miles away.
The Owner has been advised that development in this area is anticipated to be
urban in character once the municipal services arrive. The growth rate of the
area and the intervening land extending back to the existing service fringe
will determine how quickly the infrastructure is built. In the meantime, staff
wants to avoid infilling the area with large rural residential lots that would
impede urban infill growth in the future. Staff has agreed to work with the
applicant to allow three rural residential lots at this location. Only one of
the three will be final platted and developed at this time. In the future, when
urban services are extended to serve this area, the land will be rezoned to the
appropriate urban zoning category, most likely R-1.
Lot 1 of Shannon Estate must be vacated to allow this
property to be replatted with an improved road alignment. An existing access
easement that traverses Lot 1 of Shannon Estate and provides access to several
properties in the area will be replaced with a dedicated road known as 66th
Street.
The Owner is requesting rezoning of 13.29 acres from
AG to RR-1, Rural Residential District (Rural Standards). This land area
includes three residential lots, an associated outlot, and the majority of the
public street.
The Preliminary Plat consists of a three-lot
subdivision known as Austin Estates, approved by the Planning Commission on
April 15, 2005. Only one of the three lots will be shown on the Final Plat (Lot
1). This lot incorporates additional land shown as Outlot A in order to meet
the minimum land area requirement of the code. Lot 1 plus Outlot A equal 3.8
acres (only 1.5 plus 1.5 = 3.0 acres required). The outlot area is nicely
maintained and feature ponds and landscaping. This house will be served by
individual well and septic systems, and a gravel street.
The lots are accessed by a long cul-de-sac street
known as 66th Street that is dedicated on the plat, entering from 2nd Avenue in
a westerly direction then turning south. The Director of Public Works has
waived the maximum cul-de-sac length of 600 feet since this street will
eventually be extended to the west and it will serve only one house at this
time. The width of the roadway right-of-way is 66-feet as it enters from 2nd
Avenue and it lines up with dedicated access on the east side of 2nd Avenue.
The easement for future extension of the roadway and utilities corridor will be
dedicated to the city under separate instrument.
The location of an easement for future municipal
sanitary sewer service is shown on the Final Plat. The location of this
easement is based on the “best guess” we can make today of how the sanitary
services should be laid out. In the future, the exact location of the easement
may need to be modified slightly. A Subdivision Agreement has been prepared to
execute and detail the obligations of the city and the owner. The agreement
will limit development of the site to one home at this time and will reference
the aforementioned sanitary easement.
Mitch Humphrey from Buffalo Surveying was present to
answer any questions from the Council.
There was no one present in opposition to this
hearing.
Moved by Kearney seconded by Clouse to close the
hearing and approve the Application submitted by Mitch Humphrey (Applicant) for
Terry Broadfoot and Marlin Heiden (Owners) to rezone from “District AG,
Agricultural District” to “District RR-1, Rural Residential District (Rural
Standards)” property described as a tract of land being part of the Northeast
Quarter of Section 23, Township 9 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M.,
containing 13.29 acres, more or less, Buffalo County, Nebraska (southwest of
6560 2nd Avenue). Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Hadley, Lear, Clouse,
Kearney, Buschkoetter. Nay: None. Motion carried.
DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL –
KEARNEY AREA HUMANE SOCIETY
Mayor Hadley opened the public hearing on the Application
submitted by Kearney Area Humane Society (Applicant) and 21st Century
Investment Co., L.L.C., a Nebraska Limited Liability Company (Owner) for
Planned District Development Plan Approval for the construction of a humane
society on property zoned to “District C-3/PD, General Commercial
District/Planned Development Overlay District” and described as Lot 2,
Meadowlark Gardens Addition, an addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo
County, Nebraska (to be vacated) located in the South Half of the Southeast
Quarter of Section 33, Township 9 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., Buffalo
County, Nebraska (proposed Lot 2, Meadowlark Gardens Second Addition and
located north of Highway 30 and east of Nebraska Department of Roads
Maintenance Yard) and to consider approval of Resolution No. 2006-67. Planning
Commission recommended approval.
The Applicant is requesting approval to construct a
facility to house the Kearney Humane Society on West Highway 30. This project
consists of a 1,344 square foot building and associated parking. The site is
adjacent to and just east of the existing Nebraska Department of Roads
Maintenance Yard. The property is zoned C-3/PD and is 3.0 acres in area.
Development of this project includes vacation, subdivision plats, and approval
of Development Plans.
Lot 2 of Meadowlark Gardens Addition must be vacated
so that it can be replatted into two 3-acre lots known as Meadowlark Gardens 2nd
Addition. The proposed Humane Society facility will be located on Lot 2, the
westerly of the two lots.
A Preliminary and Final Plat have been submitted for
Meadowlark Gardens 2nd Addition. The Preliminary Plat was approved by Planning
Commission on April 15, 2005. The proposed subdivision contains two 3-acre
lots. Access from Highway 30 is controlled by NDOR and is shown on the Final
Plat as a 55-foot by 129-foot ingress-egress easement. This easement also
provides access to Lot 1, adjacent to the east. A ten-foot water line easement
is shown on the west end of Lot 2 adjacent to Highway 30. Stormwater detention
is required. No building permits will be issued until the City Engineer
approves the design and computations for stormwater detention. An NDOR
proposal to realign Highway 30 will result in adequate right-of-way width along
the entire frontage of the highway.
Additional width in the ingress-egress easement to
accommodate large truck traffic will require a resulting shift in the building
location. The Final Plat reflects the proposed ingress-egress easement as
requested. The plans that have been submitted have been revised to allow for
the easement which resulted in a very slight adjustment to the parking lot.
The Landscape Plan is complete – no interior parking lot landscaping is
required since the lot area is less than 6,000 square feet. The building
materials range from simulated stone and masonry to EFIS. A pitched shingled
roof gives the building a somewhat residential look that will fit nicely in the
neighborhood.
Scott Stober from Wilkins Hinrichs and Stober
Architects presented this matter to the Council. The Kearney Area Humane
Society is building a 7,400 square foot building on Highway 30 adjacent to the
Department of Roads. The Planning Commission had no objections and the design
exceeds the City minimum standards. The building is going to be visible from
all sides and so the back is landscaped and finished just like the front.
Their goal is to have animals adopted into the community with a 24-hour drop
off. The fenced area on the outside of the building will only be for
exercising animals. All animals will be housed inside the building.
Sally Bryson stated this project is a culmination of
four years of planning. It is a dream of many and with the Council’s approval
will come true. Many have donated their time, talents and have been most
generous with gifts to make this a reality. Kearney will have a facility to be
proud of.
There was no one present in opposition to this
hearing.
Moved by Clouse seconded by Lear to close the hearing
and approve the Application submitted by Kearney Area Humane Society
(Applicant) and 21st Century Investment Co., L.L.C., a Nebraska Limited
Liability Company (Owner) for Planned District Development Plan Approval for

DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL – McDONALD’S
RESTAURANT, 1ST AVENUE AND 56TH STREET
Mayor Hadley opened the public hearing on the
Application submitted by Ross Engineering, Inc. (Applicant) for LeRoy Corrigan
Trust, Roberta Corrigan Farm, a Limited Partnership (Owner) for Planned
District Development Plan Approval for the construction of a restaurant
facility on property zoned “District C-2/PD, Community Commercial
District/Planned Development Overlay District” and described as Lot 1 of Block
2, Ingalls Crossing Addition, an addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo
County, Nebraska (1st Avenue and 56th Street) and to consider approval of
Resolution No. 2005-68. Planning Commission recommended approval.
The Applicant is requesting approval of Development
Plans for a proposed McDonalds restaurant located in Ingalls Crossing at the
northeast corner of the intersection of 1st Avenue and 56th Street. This
property is zoned C-2/PD so Development Plan review and approval is required.
The proposed restaurant is a new prototype, the first
of its kind to be constructed in Nebraska. Architectural elevations are
included in the Development Plan package. The Landscape Plan is very nice. The
development meets all code requirements for parking, impervious cover, open
space, setbacks, and drainage. Stormwater detention design and computations
have been submitted to the City Engineer. The Development Plan package is
complete.
Ron Ross from Ross Engineering presented this matter
to the Council. Jerry Roper, the area construction regional manager for
McDonalds was also in attendance at the meeting. This is the new prototype,
which is 4,400 square feet and will be the second in Nebraska after Bellevue.
Access will be off of 1st Avenue (no access from 56th Street). It has what
McDonald’s calls a side-by-side drive thru. The City requested a detention
cell, which will be provided through the developer. The City has new NPDES
criteria, which is different from when the Ingall’s Crossing was originally
brought to the Council. Detention cells will be provided for each individual
lot instead of waiting until they get into the first lake which is along the
natural drainage area and to the northeast.
They plan to add a detention pond that will take care
of McDonalds and another restaurant that has purchased one of the lots from the
Corrigan Trust. It will also take care of Applebee’s and a total of five other
undeveloped commercial lots. He wanted to go on record to avoid confusion that
what they have presented to staff and approved for a small detention cell for
McDonalds will actually be a larger permanent pool of water
(retention/detention). This will be similar to the pond that has been built east
of Menards in the area of the future apartments, but will not be that large,
nor have an exposed retaining wall. This pond with a fountain will be visible
from 56th Street and will be an added amenity for the development.
There was no one present in
opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Lear seconded by
Buschkoetter to close the hearing and approve the Application submitted by Ross
Engineering, Inc. (Applicant) for LeRoy Corrigan Trust, Roberta Corrigan Farm,

CDBG GRANT – NEBRASKA FIREFIGHTERS
MUSEUM AND EDUCATIONAL CENTER
Mayor Hadley opened the public hearing on the
application to the Department of Economic Development for a Community
Development Block Grant in the amount of $210,000 for the construction of the
Nebraska Firefighters Museum and Educational Center and to consider approval of
Resolution No. 2005-69.
The Nebraska Firefighters Foundation will be
constructing and maintaining the Nebraska Firefighters Museum and Educational
Center. Interstate Structures previously owned and operated from the building
located at 2180 25th Road. With the construction of the museum and educational
center, they will have the ability to preserve and honor the past, while at the
same time embrace and change the future. The financial support from the CDBG
Program will help honor the firefighters throughout Nebraska. It will provide
extensive educational programs and exhibits to educate the public.
The Nebraska Firefighters Foundation is the vehicle
through which the Nebraska Firefighters Museum and Educational Center will be
built. The mission statement of the Nebraska Firefighters Foundation is “to
preserve Nebraska’s firefighting heritage, foster public understanding of the
impact and benefit to firefighting in regard to saving lives and possessions,
educate individuals about fire prevention and fire safety, and memorialize
Nebraska firefighters.”
In August of 2004, the Nebraska Firefighters
Foundation placed a successful bid on this building. The site includes ten
acres of ground just south of the Platte River and two existing buildings.
Besides the purchase of the building, the Foundation Board hired an architect to
collect ideas and bring to life the dream of a Nebraska Firefighters Museum.
The City is asked to apply for a $210,000 CDBG award
to help finance the cost of construction. The total anticipated cost of the
project is $4,810,000. The Nebraska Firefighters Museum and Educational Center
through donations, other grants and a loan will provide the balance of the
funding. The City of Kearney will not be committing any funds to this project.
The City’s involvement will be to receive CDBG funds
and disperse the amounts. If the grant is awarded, the 2005-06 budget will
need to reflect the pass-through of the CDBG funding. The City would be
eligible to use the Administration funding for any audit costs related to the
grant passing through the City’s accounts. The City will also be providing a
certified CDBG administrator, which the State requires to administer the funds.
The City has the legal authority to apply for and
receive Community Development Block Grant awards. An Interlocal Agreement
between the City of Kearney and the Nebraska Firefighters Museum and
Educational Center is also required outlining the terms of the arrangement.
Doralene Weed, one of the Board of Directors, stated
that the Firefighter’s Museum and Education Center is about to become a
reality. She believed this will be one of the premier attractions in the State
of Nebraska on ten acres of land. The opportunities with this amount of land
are unlimited. She presented a picture of the proposed structure. Mr. Alan
Sherwood is the consultant for the project.
Lloyd Castner from Kirkham Michael stated that the
City has participated many times in the Community Block Grant. One of those
programs is called “Tourism Development Initiative” that provides funds to
nonprofit and for profit organizations. The reason these programs are eligible
for grants is because they create jobs and handicapped accessible features.
There are several of the features that the architects have included in the
plans to convert this building. Mr. Castner recommended that they apply for
the maximum amount, which is $200,000, and the additional $10,000 is for
administration by a grant administrator that would be selected in the
future.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Buschkoetter seconded by
Hadley to close the hearing on the application to the Department of Economic
Development for a Community Development Block Grant in the amount of $210,000

VII. REPORTS
2005-2006 BUDGET
City Manager Michael Morgan
stated budgets are due Friday, May 13th, which will be his first budget
process. This process is started fairly early in the year and is somewhat of a
challenge to forecast certain revenue expenditures. It will be a good time to
evaluate with the Council reporting and how we proceed with the budget process.
MANAGEMENT ASSISTANT
City Manager announced the hiring
of a new staff person, Amber Brown. Ms. Brown will start June 20th and has
some solid experience, educated at UNK and has four years of grant experience.
She did an internship with the City a few years ago and wanted to come back to
work for the City.
SALES TAX ISSUE
Council member Clouse stated that
he believed that their roles as a City Council and City government are to
continue to look at the future of our community. There has been a lot of
discussion over the past few months as to the needs of the community by
different groups. He is aware that City staff is putting out their survey on
the website for particular needs. He requested in addition that a group be
formed in order to do a formal review of the potential sales tax issue in order
to start moving forward. He believed that it is time to step forward in that
process and take a leading roll. He also volunteered to participate in that
process. He asked to have a recommendation from the Council to put a group
together to study this and provide some guidance for the City staff and Mr.
Morgan so the City can get some good strategy in place and start this process
so that they can make a determination of where the City of Kearney is going.
Mayor Hadley agreed to move
forward with this because he believed that it is time to get input from the
citizens and find out where they want the City to go. Council member
Buschkoetter commented that the more diversified the group the better, such as
community neighborhood associations, school officials, etc. City Manager
stated that based on the Council’s direction and approval to proceed, he anticipated
preparing some type of documentation material and background suggesting the
process. This would include who would be involved, what type of input to
solicit and how that input should take place.
VIII. ADJOURN
Moved by Kearney seconded by
Clouse that Council adjourn at 7:43 p.m. Roll call resulted as follows: Aye:
