already been poured.
Ms. Ritter questioned why there were fireworks in the center part of town late Sunday Evening.
Police Chief Steve Strong stated he was unaware of any fireworks; however, Mr. Hopkins
commented that they could have been from the Rodeo at Arena Park.
Mayor Knudtson announced that last week the City held a ceremony in Arena Park to kick off the
new storm siren program. He thanked the Fair Board for funding the cost of this siren. Mr. Leslie
continued that the purpose of a siren program is to warn people of inclement weather who are
involved in outdoor activities and are not near a radio or television. The City is continuing to work
to put sirens in other park areas, including Shawnee and Kiwanis Parks.
CITY MANAGER'S COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Leslie introduced Josh Richardson as the new City Engineer and welcomed him to Cape
Girardeau. He expressed appreciation to Tim Gramling and Abdul Alkadry for filling in during
the interim period.

sac at 2404 Kingsway Drive and the construction of a right turn lane on Kingshighway at Cape

Regular Session May 16, 2005 220
Church, appeared on behalf of the Board of Directors to express support for the cul-de-sac and the
right turn lane in this area. This project will insure a safe entrance to this property for the church.
Mr. Tim Gramling, Interim City Engineer, reviewed the improvements to be completed under this
project. The City will construct a right turn lane northbound on Kingshighway at Cape Rock
Drive. Kingsway Drive will be closed and a cul-de-sac constructed. The project should be
completed in the summer to early fall. The cost of the cul-de-sac is $35,000 and the cost of the
right turn lane, approximately $51,000, will be reimbursed to the City by MoDOT. A
neighborhood meeting was held at the Osage Centre, and letters were sent to all residents and
businesses in the area notifying them of this hearing. There being no further appearances, the
hearing was closed.
APPEARANCES
Mr. Chris Hutson, 1014 North Henderson, appeared regarding item number 31 on the agenda and
requested the Council to consider the action of the Planning and Zoning Commission which
recommended denial of the request.
A motion was made by Mrs. Tracy, seconded by Mr. Herbst, to file the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation regarding the request of Victor and Dee Gummersheimer and
Cape Girardeau Baptist Association for a special use permit for an administrative facility for the
Baptist Collegiate Ministries at 1016 North Henderson Avenue (rear) in an R-2, Single Family
Residential District. The motion was approved upon the following vote: Ayes, Boardman, Herbst,
Hopkins, Knudtson, Ritter, Schneider and Tracy. Nays,none.
Mr. Scott Browning, 724 Watkins, appeared in support of the Planning and Zoning Commission's
recommendation to deny the request of Stacy Lange for a special use permit for a daycare for up to
eight children with one assistant at 733 Watkins Drive in an R-4, Multi-Family Residential
District.
Ms. Stacy Lange appeared in support of her request for a daycare at 733 Watkins Drive. She
stated that this will be a home daycare. She explained that she could rent the home and care for
her three children as well as four other children under State law without a permit from the City.
Mayor Knudtson responded that on June 6 the Council could have a Public Hearing to consider
this request. Ms. Lange can present her information at that time, and others will be allowed to
appear in support of or in opposition to the request. Ms. Lange requested that a public hearing be
held at that time.
A motion was made by Ms. Ritter, seconded by Mrs. Schneider to set a public hearing for June 6
to consider the request of Stacy Lange for a special use permit for daycare for up to eight (8)
children with one assistant at 733 Watkins Drive in an R-4, Multi-Family Residential District. The
motion was approved upon the following vote: Ayes, Boardman, Herbst, Hopkins, Knudtson,
Ritter, Schneider and Tracy. Nays,none.
Mr. Ed Proffer appeared regarding the request for a three-way stop at the intersection of Kurre
Lane, Rampart and Melrose. Mr. Proffer stated he was told by the Engineering that a warning sign
and radar could be put up in this area; however, he felt none of these efforts will slow down the
traffic. When cars come over the hill, the people are driving too fast off Rampart, missing the
curve and driving into the yards.
Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo.
Regular Session May 16,2005 -221—
Mayor Knudtson stated the staff does not feel a three-way stop will address the speed problem,but
enforcement efforts would. Mr. Leslie reviewed the accident history and traffic study for the speed
of the traffic in this area. New technology is available to allow a unit to be added to the top of
Ei speed limit signs which shows how fast a car is traveling. This, along with increased traffic
enforcement, he felt would address the speed problem. Mayor Knudtson asked the staff to give a
copy of this research to Mr. Proffer.
Mr. Hopkins stated the City previously completed a study of the traffic at the intersection of
Hopper and Mt Auburn, and the speed study did not show a need for a four-way stop. However,
the City put one in anyway. Mr. Hopkins questioned what information is included in the report
and how it compares to the current situation. The City must take into account that almost 100
percent of the residents want a sign put in.
Ms. Tracy questioned if the speed limit can be lowered. Mr. Leslie explained that the present limit
is 30 mph and the 80th percentile speed is 38. Mayor Knudtson asked if Mr. Proffer was willing to
try these two efforts. If they do not help, then he can come back to the Staff and Council to
request that the alternatives be reconsidered.
Mr. Bob Uhrhan appeared in support of, and to answer any questions relating to, the request for a
special use permit for Rhodes Properties, LLC at 1110 North Cape Rock Drive. Upon questioning
by Mrs. Tracy, Mr. Gramling stated that the staff has checked on the sewer capacity and storm
sewer concerns of the residents. These have been addressed, and comments will be sent to the
developer.

The Council discussed issues relating to the possible establishment of a Charter Review
Committee. Mayor Knudtson expressed concerns that the objective of the Committee could get
bigger than he wants to see, and most of the issues in question are administrative in nature. Mrs.
Boardman stated she is in favor of a very limited Charter review and did not see a need for a full
review.
Mayor Knudtson listed the things he feels should be reviewed by a he Charter Review Committee.
1. The filling of council vacancies.
2. The requirement for an election if there is only one candidate for a position.
3. The fee limitations that are difficult on the City.
4. The Ethics Commission; there is already a process at the state level to handle these types
of complaints
After discussion by the council members, they agreed for each Council Member to submit two
names from their ward to the Mayor to be considered for a Charter Review Committee. The
Council will review the names submitted, develop a committee to review the issues the Council
has addressed,and give the committee 120 days to complete the review.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned upon Mr. Hopkins' motion, Mrs.
Boardman's second, and the following vote: Ayes, Boardman,Herbst, Hopkins,Knudtson, Ritter,
Schneider and Tracy. Nays,none.
