1:15

Uh the motion passes.

1:17

We have several items on the agenda this morning.

1:20

If you are here to discuss your item, please step to the front podium, give us your name and address, and then tell us what you would like to do.

1:29

Uh the first items that we have on the agenda are items four, five, six, seven, and eight, uh, as listed on the agenda.

1:37

They all deal with the same parcels of property, although uh we'll deal with them individually along the way because they're kind of slicing and dicing stuff here.

1:48

And uh we'll work through it.

1:50

The first item is a subdivision vacation for Masters Business Park.

1:55

Uh it's to vacate lot one and two of Masters Business Park subdivision.

1:59

Um, and that property is located at 6410, 6430 East Highway 30.

2:05

The second part of that is uh item number five on the agenda, which is to uh vacate a portion of Masters Business Park second.

2:15

Uh that is to vacate lot one of Masters Business Park second.

2:20

Uh that property located located at 6520 East Highway 30.

2:26

And continuing on through that, we have a hearing on the rezoning of Masters Business Best Masters Business Park 3rd, creating that, and then also the preliminary and final plats for the new Masters Business Park 3 edition.

2:43

Have I got it?

2:44

I think you have it.

2:48

Uh maybe next time I'll come up with a shorter name for the subdivisions.

2:53

Um for the record, my name is Mitch Humphrey with Buffalo Surveying Corporation located at 5308 Parkland Drive here in Kearney.

3:01

And I'm here to represent uh the Advent Group, LLC and Blessing Premier Property LLC on this uh I guess next five items.

3:12

I'll probably kind of present them more or less uh potentially out of order than what uh Chairman Dart stated, but nonetheless we'll cover the basis.

3:23

Uh the site is located west of Imperial Avenue on on Highway 30 in the 646500 block of of East Highway 30, right next to the recently approved uh prairie view business park that I have outlined in the light blue on the screen.

3:45

The master's business park development, which is as Stan stated, is is lot one of Masters Business Park second and lots one and two of Masters Business Park, which would be from right to left or yeah, right to left on the screen.

4:01

It's outlined in red.

4:02

And essentially what we'd like to do is add a little bit of ground to the lots and reconfigure the shape of the lots.

4:14

And what what that entails is essentially taking what is now zoned M1 and what I have outlined in yellow happens to be the Masters Business Park second project with Masters Business Park lots one and two being directly to the west.

4:32

This zoning map is not current to form as the prairie view project just was approved by the city of Carney's or our our city council last Tuesday, and the uh statutory uh 15-day waiting protest waiting period hasn't expired so that the plat isn't filed, the zoning's not official effective, and so on.

4:53

So that would be in the area right in here, and that was zoned M1.

5:00

So essentially the zoning that we're asking for for the small tracts of land will be compatible with not only the existing zoning in the area but the future land use map and and the comprehensive plan as as it was uh envisioned number of years ago when that was revised or updated.

5:17

The tracks that we want would like to rezone contain 1.37 acres kind of to the north edge of this, and then there's a storied seven hundredths of an acre piece of property that blessing premier property uh obtained when they purchased the ground around it from the Bloom family uh a number of years ago, and and they actually didn't realize that that came with the deal.

5:49

But each parcel is essentially non-conforming to our standards, if not for size, but for accessibility, because obviously the seven hundredths of an acre piece of property is too small for that zoning classification, and it's along the state highway, which or the U.S.

6:09

Highway 30, which is uh a controlled access highway anyway.

Summary of Proceedings

Kearney Planning Commission Meeting - October 15, 2021

The Planning Commission of Kearney, Nebraska met on October 15, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. in City Council Chambers. The commission approved multiple subdivision vacations, rezonings, preliminary and final plats for two major development areas: Master's Business Park Third and Downey Subdivision. A hearing for Fountain Hills Fifth Addition was withdrawn, and a related rezoning request was postponed to a future meeting. All actions were consistent with staff recommendations.

Consent Calendar

  • Minutes of September 17, 2021: Approved unanimously (Chairperson Dart abstained; all other members present voted aye).

Discussion Items

  • Master's Business Park (Items 4-8): Mitch Humphrey of Buffalo Surveying Corp., representing Advent Group, LLC and Blessing Premier Property, LLC, presented plans to vacate existing lots (Items 4 and 5) and rezone approximately 1.44 acres from AG (Agricultural) to M-1 (Limited Industrial) to create Master's Business Park Third, a three-lot subdivision. The new plat consolidates and reconfigures lot lines, removes an existing field drive, and relocates a driveway to improve spacing along U.S. Highway 30. No public testimony was offered.
  • Fountain Hills Fifth Addition (Items 9-10): The Future Land Use Map Amendment (Item 9) was withdrawn by the applicant. The related rezoning (Item 10) was postponed to the November 19, 2021, Planning Commission meeting at the applicant's request.
  • Downey Subdivision (Items 11-14): A representative from Miller & Associates, on behalf of Farm Life LLC, requested a land use map amendment from Urban Reserve to Business Park, a rezoning from AG to BP (Business Park), and approval of a one-lot preliminary and final plat for 11.74 acres located southwest of 78th Street and Cherry Avenue along the Kearney East Expressway. The applicant noted no immediate development plans but stated that zoning and platting are prerequisite for sale. Commission members discussed the role of BP zoning in preserving the corridor's aesthetic, noting that any deviations from BP standards would require a planned unit development review. No public testimony was offered.
  • Reports: Commission members shared highlights from the Nebraska Planning Conference, noting sessions on housing (the need for vertical density), economic development, solar energy trends, and a student presentation from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
