COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
ITEM NO. III - #5
FROM:
MEETING:
March 27, 2012
SUBJECT:
Qwest Fuel Liquor License and Manager Applications
PRESENTER:
Tara Shaw
Discussion:
According to Section 53-132(2) of the Nebraska Revised Statutes states: A retail license or
bottle club license shall be issued to any qualified applicant if it is found by the Liquor
Commission that:
1. the applicant is fit, willing, and able to properly provide the service proposed within the
city, village, or county where the premises described in the application are located;
2. the applicant can conform to all provisions, requirements, rules, and regulations
provided for in the Nebraska Liquor Control Act;
3. the applicant has demonstrated that the type of management and control exercised over
the licensed premises will be sufficient to insure that the licensed business can conform
to all provisions, requirements, rules, and regulations provided for in the Nebraska
Liquor Control Act, and
4. the issuance of the license is or will be required by the present or future public
convenience and necessity.
KB & KS Investments, LLC, dba Qwest Fuel has made application for a license to sell beer,
wine and distilled spirits located at its facility, 414 2nd Avenue South. As you may remember,
Qwest Fuel applied for and received a liquor license to sell beer only back in March of 2011.
The Police Department performed a background check on the applicants and the manager last
year and as of to date, no violations have occurred. In summary, they are requesting to expand
their liquor license in order to sell beer, wine and distilled spirits.
The City Council is concerned with the selling of alcohol to minors in our community, and
wants to encourage all license holders to provide the necessary training to all employees that
sell or dispense alcohol. City staff developed a form entitled “Liquor License Training
Compliance” requiring applicants to document and verify training compliance of their
employees. Ms. Shaw has returned the attached form indicating she and her employees have
received training and the Certificates of Training have been filed.
Fiscal Note:
This would actually be an additional license to the community at this time and would
necessitate observation and attention; however, that would not be an undue burden.
ITEM NO. III - #5
Recommended Action:
The Council has the right and obligation to review applications for liquor licenses and manager
applications. The Council can only make a recommendation for approval or denial to the
Nebraska Liquor Commission, who will either deny or approve the licenses. It appears that
all of the paperwork has been submitted and training is in place.
The Council has the following alternatives:
Recommend approval to the Liquor Commission of the Liquor License and Manager
applications submitted by Qwest Fuel.
Recommend denial to the Liquor Commission of the Liquor License.
Conduct the public hearing and submit to the Liquor Commission with no
recommendation.

COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
ITEM NO. III - #6
FROM:
MEETING:
March 27, 2012
SUBJECT:
Renewal of Liquor License for Target
PRESENTER:
Brent LeClair
Discussion:
The City Council directed City staff to develop a City Council Policy dealing with the
consideration of liquor licenses given concerns that City Council has with reference to
underage drinking and other liquor license violations within the City of Kearney. On March 22,
2011 the City Council adopted a nonbinding resolution that established general guidelines as
to when the Council would consider not recommending approval of a liquor license application
or denial of a special designated license.
On March 23, 2011 the attached letter was sent to all liquor license holders, with a copy of the
resolution setting forth the Council’s Policy, emphasizing the requirement of training and
submitting Certificates of Training of their employees. With the renewal process of Non-C
Class liquor licenses, on October 31 a second notice (attached) was sent to all Non-C Class
license holders reminding them to submit copies of their employees Certificates of Training to
the City no later than January 31. Finally, the City Attorney sent a final notice (attached) on
February 6 giving them until March 2 to submit the Certificates.
Target has held a liquor license since 1991. In reviewing the Nebraska Liquor Control
Commission’s web site, there have been no liquor violations. Even though Target has their
own in-house training program, their program has not been approved by the Nebraska Liquor
Control Commission. According to the City Council Policy, completed training is specifically
certified and approved by the Liquor Commission.
The City of Kearney has 90 liquor license holders. Out of those 90, two establishments have
not complied with the City Council’s Liquor License Policy. The larger establishments, such as
Walmart with approximately 120 employees and the Viaero Event Center with approximately
50 employees, have taken the training and Certificates of Training have been submitted. The
letters explain they have the option to take the training via the internet by going through the
Liquor Commission’s web site or by setting up an appointment through the Buffalo County
Community Partners.
In accordance with Section 53-134(6) of the Nebraska Revised Statutes, the local governing
body of any city with respect to licenses within its corporate limits shall have the power with
respect to retail licenses: to cancel or revoke on its own motion any license if, upon the same
notice and hearing, it determines that the licensee has violated any of the provisions of the act
ITEM NO. III - #6
or any valid and subsisting ordinance, resolution, rules or regulation duly enacted, adopted,
and promulgated relating to alcoholic liquor.
Fiscal Note:
There are no negative fiscal impacts on the City regarding these liquor licenses.
Recommended Action:
The Council has the right and obligation to review the renewal of liquor licenses. The Council
has the following alternatives:
Recommend cancelling or revoking the liquor license held by Target for the reason the
licensee has violated the provisions of Resolution No. 2011-28 requiring the applicant to
submit Certificates of Training for their employees.
Approve the renewal of the liquor license held by Target.

RE: City Council Policy on Liquor Licenses
The Kearney City Council directed City staff to develop a Policy dealing with the consideration
of liquor licenses given the concerns they have with reference to under age drinking and other
liquor license violations within the City of Kearney. The City Council at their meeting held on
March 22, 2011 approved Resolution No. 2011-28 establishing a policy for making
recommendations with reference to liquor licenses issued by the Nebraska Liquor Control
Commission for liquor retailers in the City of Kearney.
The intent of this Resolution is to establish an overall policy as to when the City Council will
consider not recommending the issuance or renewal of a liquor license to the Nebraska Liquor
Control Commission and what factors it deems appropriate to consider in denying an
application for a special designated license. Also, the intent of the policy is to encourage liquor
providers to seek out appropriate training for their employees. Resolution No. 2011-28 is
effective immediately and I have enclosed a copy, along with the Liquor License Guidelines,
for your files.
All applications for new liquor license and/or new manager will be required to complete the
Liquor License Training Compliance form that indicates they have completed training which is
specifically certified and approved by the Nebraska Liquor Commission or approved by the
Kearney Police Department. The license holder must provide certification of this training to the
City Clerk when submitting the Liquor License Training Compliance form.
With reference to an automatic renewal of a presently existing liquor license, the City Clerk will
notify the license holders that they must provide a copy of their Certification prior to the
automatic renewal of the liquor license. If Certification is not provided to the City Clerk, it shall
be the policy of the City Council to require that license holder to appear before the Council at a
public hearing to review the status of the license and its renewal.
With reference to the application for a new license/new manager or an automatic renewal of an
existing license, the City Council policy will be that if such license holder has been charged
and convicted of two or more charges of the sale of alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person or
March 23, 2011
Page 2
the sale of alcohol to a minor within the renewal period (one year) and/or has been charged
and convicted of three or more similar violations in the prior five years, City Council will not
recommend approval of said liquor license to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission.
With reference to special designated licenses, if the license holder that is making application
for such a special designated license has had two or more violations of the law including the
sale of alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person and/or the sale of alcohol to a minor within one
calendar year (calendar year shall be defined as from January 1 to December 31 of a given
year) of the last issuance of its underlying liquor license or three or more such violations within
the last five years, it shall be the policy of the City Council to deny such application and to not
grant that license holder the ability to have a special designated license for the event
requested.
Also, as a requirement for applying for a special designated license, the City has developed a
supplemental form that must accompany the application for a special designated license. Both
the liquor licensee and the citizen requesting you make application must sign the supplemental
form. If the supplemental form is not attached to the application for a special designated
license, the application will not be placed before the City Council for determination. I have
enclosed a copy of the Supplemental Form for your use with any further applications from this
day forward for special designated licenses.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 233-3216.
Sincerely,

RE: Renewal of Liquor License – Certificates of Training
As you may be aware, your liquor license will expire on April 30, 2012. On March 23, 2011, I notified all
liquor license holders that the City Council adopted a policy for making recommendations with
reference to liquor licenses issued by the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission for liquor retailers in the
City of Kearney. In that letter I explained the policy requires not only the manager, but all employees
must be certified in the handling and/or dispensing of alcohol and copies of the Certificates of Training
must be filed in my office. The training must be certified and approved by the Nebraska Liquor
Commission.
The annual process for renewal of your license will begin between January 10 and January 31. In
accordance with Section 53-135.01 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes, I shall publish in the paper
individual notice of the right of automatic renewal of each retail liquor license. This letter is a reminder
that you must provide copies of the Certificates of Training for each employee that handles and/or
dispenses alcohol. Copies of the Certificates of Training must be submitted to me no later than
January 31, 2012. This should give you sufficient notice to allow you and your employees to receive
the training that is required. You and your employees can take the training via the internet by going to
the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission’s web site at www.lcc.ne.gov and follow the instructions
under Training. The Buffalo County Community Partners also provides an excellent program, Training
for Intervention Procedures (TIPS), which is a 4-hour training course. You can contact the Buffalo
County Community Partners at 865-2283 to set a time for the training. If Training Certifications are not
provided to me by January 31, it shall be the policy of the City Council to require that license holder to
appear before the Council at a public hearing to review the status of the license and its renewal.
The City Council policy will be that if such license holder has been charged and convicted of two or

RE: Renewal of Liquor License for Target in Kearney, Nebraska
The City Clerk sent two letters to you dated March 23, 2011 and again on October 31, 2011
explaining the City Council’s Liquor License Policy wherein the manager and all employees are to
be trained in the selling and dispensing of alcohol. You also received a copy of Resolution No.
2011-28 setting forth the policy. The October 31st letter was a reminder that you and your
employees had to have the training in place and copies of the Certificates of Training were to be
submitted to the City Clerk no later than January 31, 2012.
This letter is your final notice that if you do not submit the Certificates of Training for you and your
employees by March 2, 2012, the City Council will consider whether your license will be renewed.
If the Certificates of Training are not received by March 2, you will be required to appear before the
Council at a public hearing to review the status of the license and its renewal. The Certificate of
Course Completion is not the same as the Certificate of Training. The Certificate of Course
Completion must be submitted to the Liquor Commission, along with their fee, and they will issue a
Certificate of Training.
It is also the City Council’s policy that if such license holder has been charged and convicted of two
or more charges of the sale of alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person or the sale of alcohol to a
minor within the renewal period (one year) and/or has been charged and convicted of three or
more similar violations in the prior five years, City Council will not recommend approval of said
liquor license to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission.

MEETING:
March 27, 2012
SUBJECT:
Amend the 2011-2012 City of Kearney Budget
PRESENTER:
Wendell Wessels
Discussion:
By law, the City may not expend more than the total budget of expenditures unless the
provisions of State Statute 13-511, R.R.S. 1943 are met. Due to unforeseen circumstances,
actual expenditures for the current fiscal year will exceed budgeted expenditures unless the
current fiscal year budget is supplemented. Under these circumstances, state law requires that
a public hearing be conducted to supplement the previously adopted budget and an ordinance
be passed authorizing the expenditure of the additional requirements.
An explanation of the budget adjustments for the two funds are as follows:
General: The budgeted expenditures in the General Fund need to be increased from
$18,941,005.56 to $20,641,005.56, or by $1,700,000.00. The increase is required to provide
funding for the purchase of a short-term promissory note issued by the City. The proceeds
from the purchase of the note by the General Fund will be placed in the Economic
Development Grant Fund. Funding to purchase the note by the General Fund will come from
the existing fund balance within the General Fund and will be repaid by the Special Sales Tax
Fund over the next five years.
Economic Development: The budgeted expenditures in the Economic Development Fund need
to be increased from $2,245,382.76 to $3,945,382.76, or by $1,700,000.00. The increase is
required to provide funding for the purchase of additional land for the Tech Park, to pay for the
costs associated with moving the NRD channel to the south end of the property, and to pay for
the costs of constructing a carrier hotel.
Fiscal Note:
No additional property taxes or other funding is required to fund these budget increases.
Recommended Action:
Administration recommends approval of the Revised Budget Statement and passage of the
appropriation ordinance.

Purchase Additional 53 Acres Adjacent to Tech Park Property
PRESENTER:
Michael Tye
Discussion:
The City of Kearney has recently negotiated an option to purchase an additional 53 acres
adjacent to the Tech Park property that the City owns at the corner of 56th Street and Antelope
Avenue. In order to expand the amount of property available for potential development, City
staff would recommend exercising the option and providing authorization to proceed to
purchase and close on the acquisition of the additional 53 acres parcel of property. This
property will be purchased from Two Sisters, Inc. with a closing of the sale to occur on April 1,
2012 or at a time that is mutually acceptable to the parties.
With the purchase of this 53-acre parcel, the City would then own approximately 165 acres
which would be available for future development.
Fiscal Note:
The purchase price for this property is $1,200,150.00.
Recommended Action:
City staff recommends proceeding with the purchase this real estate.
WHEREAS, Section 18-1755, R.R.S., authorizes a city acquiring an interest in real
property by purchase or eminent domain to do so only after the City Council has
authorized the acquisitions by action taken in a public meeting after notice and public
hearing; and

acquisition of an additional 53 acres for future expansion of a technology park and voted
in favor to proceed with the acquisition; and

PUBLIC HEARINGS
VACATE LOT 2, JOHNSON ESTATES (ORDINANCE NO. 7703) AND REZONE
PROPERTY LOCATED WEST OF 4510 COTTONMILL AVENUE (ORDINANCE NO.
7704)
Public Hearings 1 and 2 were discussed together but voted on separately.
Because of a conflict of interest, Council member Lear vacated his chair and abstained
from discussion and voting on this matter.
Mayor Clouse opened the public hearing on the Applications submitted by Trenton
Snow (Applicant) for Heber and Carrie Crockett (Owner) as follows: (1) to vacate Lot 2,
Johnson Estates, a subdivision being part of the West Half of the Southwest Quarter of
Section 29, Township 9 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., Buffalo County,
Nebraska and consider Ordinance No. 7703; and (2) 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 Southwest Quarter of Section 29,
Township 9 North, Range 16 West of the 6th P.M., Buffalo County, Nebraska (west of
4510 Cottonmill Avenue) and consider Ordinance No. 7704. Planning Commission
recommended approval.
This project is located in the Two-Mile Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction on the west side of
Cottonmill Avenue north of 39th Street. The application is basically a “land swap”
between adjoining property owners. Due to the hilly topography of the site, one owner
needs a small triangle of additional land to accommodate his driveway for a proposed
rural residence. He is willing to give or sell property owner number two some of his land
in exchange for the land he is receiving. The project requires vacation of part of an
existing subdivision, rezoning a small parcel and approval of a preliminary and final plat.
Lot 2 of Johnson Estates, which will be referred to as the north property owner, is to be
vacated and a small triangle of land will be added to the west side that is currently
owned by the south property owner. The small triangle to be added consists of 0.93
acres and is also the property to be rezoned. A small corner of former Lot 2, Johnson
Estates is being traded to the south property owner in exchange for the 0.93 acre
triangle. The southwest corner of former Lot 2, Johnson Estates is to go to the south
property owner as a small triangle containing roughly 0.15 acres. The 0.93-acre triangle
and the property that was formerly Lot 2 of Johnson Estates minus the 0.15-acre
triangle will be combined to form the new one-lot subdivision to be known as Murray
Estates.
The north property that was formerly known as Lot 2, Johnson Estates is zoned RR-1,
Rural Residential (Rural Standards). Since the 0.93 acre triangle is to be added to this
property to form Murray Estates, the triangle needs to be rezoned from AG to RR-1.
The Preliminary and Final Plats for Murray Estates consist of one lot. The Preliminary
Plat was approved by Planning Commission on February 17, 2012. The lot is the
conglomeration of former Lot 2, Johnson Estates minus the 0.15-acre triangle plus the
March 13, 2012
Page 3
0.93-acre triangular piece and consists of a total of 8.49 acres. The property to the
south is larger than 10 acres so is not part of a subdivision.
In summary, the north property owner is giving or selling 0.15 acres to the south
property owner so that the driveway will work. The south property owner is giving or
selling 0.93 acres to the north property owner, which will be added to the existing
holdings of the north property owner. The resulting amount of land will be less than 10
acres (8.49), which must therefore be platted. The use of these lots is for rural
residences. They will be served by well and septic. No Public Works Plan is required.
No subdivision agreement is required.
Trenton Snow presented this matter to the Council. He stated Dr. Crockett needs a
triangular piece of ground that the Murray’s own in order to facilitate his driveway to the
house that he is planning to build. In exchange, he wants to swap a triangular shaped
piece of land for it located to the north of the Murrays. By doing that, the piece the
Murrays would own would be under ten acres so they have to vacate the lot in Johnson
Estates and recreate a new lot, called Lot 1, Murray Estates. Dr. Crockett’s piece will
still be over twenty acres so that does not require a subdivision. The new Lot 1, Murray
Estates was created and requires rezoning of that little piece they are adding to
Murray’s property that previously was owned by Dr. Crockett. This site is outside of the
City Limits, but is within the two mile radius jurisdiction. There is no City water or sewer
to the property, it is all private.
There was no one present in opposition to this hearing.
Moved by Kearney to close the public hearing and introduced Ordinance No. 7703 on
the Application to vacate Lot 2, Johnson Estates, a subdivision being part of the West
Half of the Southwest Quarter of Section 29, Township 9 North, Range 16 West of the
6th P.M., Buffalo County, Nebraska; and introduced Ordinance No. 7704 on the
Application 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 Southwest Quarter of Section 29, Township 9 North, Range 16 West of the 6th
P.M., Buffalo County, Nebraska (west of 4510 Cottonmill Avenue) and moved that the
statutory rules requiring ordinances to be read by title on three different days be
suspended and said ordinances be considered for passage on the same day upon
reading by number only, and then placed on final passage and that the City Clerk be
permitted to call out the number of the ordinance on its first reading and then upon its
final passage. Council Member Lammers seconded the motion to close the hearing and
suspend the rules for Ordinance Nos. 7703 and 7704. President of the Council asked
for discussion or if anyone in the audience was interested in the ordinances. No one
responded. Clerk called the roll which resulted as follows: Aye: Clouse, Lammers,
Kearney, Buschkoetter. Nay: None. Lear abstained. Motion to suspend the rules having
been concurred in by three-fourths of the City Council, said motion was declared
passed and adopted. City Clerk read Ordinance Nos. 7703 and 7704 by number. Roll
call of those in favor of the passage of said ordinances on the first reading resulted as
follows: Aye: Clouse, Lammers, Kearney, Buschkoetter. Nay: None. Lear abstained.
Motion carried. Ordinances were read by number.

By reason of the roll call voted on the first reading and final passage of the ordinances,

publication in pamphlet form and made available to the public at the Office of the City
Clerk, the Kearney Police Department and the Kearney Public Library.

from discussion and voting on this matter.

Development Overlay District property described as the south 49 feet of Lot 2, all of
Lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, and the south 49 feet of Lot 11, all in Block 9, Kearney Land &
Investment Company 2nd Addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska,
excepting therefrom the west 92 feet of Lot 7 and the west 92 feet of the south 30 feet
of Lot 8, Block 9 thereof (2214 14th Avenue) and consider Ordinance No. 7705.
Planning Commission recommended approval subject to approval of the requested
deviations.
The applicant is requesting approval for a multi-family development south of the
University at 2214 14th Avenue. You may recall that this site was once home to a
mobile home park but was purchased several years ago and the mobile home park was
demolished with the intention of building apartments. The property has changed hands
several times and various development schemes have been presented to staff. None of
the ideas to develop apartments on this site have come to fruition until now.
Representatives from BD Construction have been working with City staff to come up
with a feasible multi-family layout for this site. The site is surrounded by streets on three
sides and an existing single family house sits on the southwest corner that is not part of
this property. There are overhead utilities on all three streets and the site is tight for
multi-family development. The applicants are therefore requesting several deviations
that will require a planned district overlay. Consequently, the site must be rezoned from
March 13, 2012
Page 6
C-2 to C-2/PD, Community Commercial/Planned Development Overlay District. Multifamily dwellings are an allowable use in C-2 zones.
The applicant has submitted a Development Plan package that includes the proposed
site layout, architectural building elevations and a landscape plan. The following
deviations are requested by the applicant:
1) A 15-foot deviation to the required 25-foot street yard along 15th Avenue
resulting in a requested street side yard of ten feet.
2) A 15-foot deviation to the required 25-foot side yard along the north property line
resulting in a requested side yard of ten feet.
3) A 10-foot deviation to the required 25-foot side yard along the south property line
common to the single-family lot at the southwest corner of the site, resulting in a
requested side yard of 15 feet.
4) A density deviation for one additional dwelling unit above the required maximum
density of 24 for a total of 25 units. Density was calculated by dividing the site
area of approximately 60,000 square feet by 2,500 square feet of site area per
dwelling unit (60,000/2,500 = 24). Part of the justification for this deviation is due
to the fact that the apartment buildings are designed to contain multiples of five
dwelling units.
5) Landscape yard deviation of ten feet from the required 20-foot wide landscape
yard along 15th Avenue.
An acceptable Landscape Plan has been submitted. Architectural elevations show 35
percent brick on the street facing facades as required by code.
Mark Benjamin, presented this matter to the Council for BD Construction. They are
proposing an apartment complex which will consist of five townhomes located to the
southeast of the property and twenty apartment units located to the west and northeast.
The center unit and the northeast unit are 2-story units and the apartment complex on
the southwest are single story. They spent a great deal of time and effort with City staff
in trying to get this plan accomplished. Their first thought was this was a very nice piece
of property to develop in a prime location and found that it was very difficult to
accomplish. They have changed the composition about a half dozen times. The current
plan can accommodate the on-street parking that is located on the northwest and to the
center of the eastern part of the property. It also includes a very nice landscaping plan
that will enhance that area.
He went on to explain the reasons for the deviations being requested. They wanted to
make sure they had ample green space and actually had setbacks on 15th Avenue that
were larger than on 14th Avenue. There are single family units on 14th Avenue and
multiple family across the street on 15th Avenue. They shifted the apartments to the
west so they could have a little more separation from the single family homes that
border 15th Avenue across the street. City Planner Lance Lang was very involved with
the landscape plan so they will have proper screening and large amounts of green
space.
March 13, 2012

The single family unit consists of two bedrooms, single bath, kitchen, living room/dining
area. All appliances will be furnished including washer and dryer. All units will be nicely
finished and attractive. In an effort to try and enhance the area, the exterior will have
more brick than required by Code and all sides of each complex will be brick. Each unit
will have approximately 890 square feet. Most of the deviations were arrived at by
working with City staff and the developer is in agreement with all of them.
Council member Lammers wanted to know what kind of plantings they will have in the
green space. City Planner stated that he met with Mike Johnson from Johnson
Landscape on the site. Mr. Lang stated that one of his concerns was the overhead
utility lines on all three streets. Once they measured things at the site, they found there
is plenty of room to get back away from the street and still plant what is considered the
typical street trees like maples, oaks, lindens or other full canopy trees on all three
sides. He thought that maples were the kind of trees they decided on, but would have
to verify.
Mayor Clouse asked for an explanation between the C-2 and C-2/PD for those in
attendance. City Planner stated that each of the zoning districts can be required to have
an overlay applied to it which is the PD designation. One reason this is done is if the
property is in a very visible part of the community where the Council wants to make sure
that the project ends up with eye appeal. The PD can automatically be used based on
the zoning map. In other cases like this one, where they ran into a lot of challenges with
meeting the letter of the Code, the PD actually allows for the deviations to be negotiated
with the developer. They would not support the deviations in every case; an example
would be if they were doing an apartment project on 56th Street where it is all open land
with no constraints. He stated working together, they came up with the idea to use the
PD overlay to justify the deviations. This is a mixed neighborhood where there is light
industrial, rental property, owner occupied properties so they tried to fit this project into
the neighborhood the best way they could.
Lee Pohlhemus, 2215 14th Avenue, voiced his concern on off-street parking. He lives
directly across the street from the proposed site. He has no qualms about having an
apartment complex across the street. His biggest concern is the off-street parking for
the tenants of those units. The traffic flow is terrible in that area. Although he did not
believe this is going to increase it, he stated he would like to see adequate off-street
parking for the proposed facility or better enforcement of the parking code in that area.
Mr. Benjamin stated in accordance with City Code, 50 parking stalls are required for the
25 units and their plan meets that requirement.
Vicki Pohlhemus, 2215 14th Avenue, asked where guests of the tenants of the complex
are supposed to park. Mr. Benjamin stated as the developer, their responsibility is to
meet the parking Code requirements for the residents of the development.
Director of Public Works Rod Wiederspan stated that parking is currently allowed on
both sides of 14th Avenue. City Manager Michael Morgan stated that if there is a
problem in the future, the neighbors could petition regarding that issue. When street
parking has been banned in the past, the neighbors generally have come back and
asked for it to be rescinded in many cases. Director of Public Works stated since this
street is in close proximity to the University, it is a popular place for students to park and
March 13, 2012
Page 8
walk to class. He believed by taking parking off one side, it would just make them park
further into the neighborhood in front of existing residential homes. It is difficult to take
away parking in that area. There are no time restrictions on the parking at this time.
The Council members discussed the challenge that college students present with
parking in this area. Each unit is allowed two parking stalls, but some tenants might only
have one vehicle and open stalls could be used by others not in residence there. It is
very difficult to enforce tenants only.
Moved by Clouse to close the public hearing and introduced Ordinance No. 7705 on the
Application submitted by BD Construction (Applicant) and Loper Suites LLC (Owner) to
rezone from District C-2, Community Commercial District to District C-2/PD, Community
Commercial/Planned Development Overlay District property described as the south 49
feet of Lot 2, all of Lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, and the south 49 feet of Lot 11, all in Block 9,

statutory rules requiring ordinances to be read by title on three different days be
suspended and said ordinances be considered for passage on the same day upon
reading by number only, and then placed on final passage and that the City Clerk be
permitted to call out the number of the ordinance on its first reading and then upon its
final passage. Council Member Kearney seconded the motion to close the hearing and
suspend the rules for Ordinance No. 7705. President of the Council asked for
discussion or if anyone in the audience was interested in the ordinance. No one
responded. Clerk called the roll which resulted as follows: Aye: Clouse, Lammers,
Kearney, Buschkoetter, Lear. Nay: None. Motion to suspend the rules having been
concurred in by three-fourths of the City Council, said motion was declared passed and
adopted. City Clerk read Ordinance No. 7705 by number. Roll call of those in favor of
the passage of said ordinance on the first reading resulted as follows: Aye: Clouse,
Lammers, Kearney, Buschkoetter, Lear. Nay: None. Motion carried. Ordinance was
read by number.
Moved by Kearney seconded by Lammers that Ordinance No. 7705 be passed,
approved and published as required by law. Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Clouse,

line resulting in a requested side yard of ten feet.
3. A 10-foot deviation to the required 25-foot side yard along the south property

CONSENT AGENDA ORDINANCES
ORDINANCE NO. 7708 VACATING PORTION OF 21ST AVENUE NORTHWEST
On August 14, 2001 the City Council approved the development of Sunny Meadows
Estates Subdivision which is located south of 42nd Street and west of 20th Avenue. The
Planning Commission had recommended vacating the northwest portion of 21st Avenue
Northwest abutting Lot 8, Park Meadow Addition and at a later Council meeting to
vacate the southwest portion of 21st Avenue Northwest.
The City was contacted by Barney Abstract concerning the vacation of the southwest
portion of 21st Avenue Northwest. It has been determined that the City did not vacate
the southwest portion. A letter from Buffalo Surveying requesting the City to vacate that
portion that needed to be done in 2001 was provided to the Council.
Ordinance No. 7708 vacating the southwest portion of 21st Avenue Northwest is merely
a housekeeping matter.
Council Member Clouse introduced Ordinance No. 7708, being Subsection 1 of Agenda
Item V vacating that portion of 21st Avenue Northwest as it abuts Lot 1 of Block 1,
Colonial Estates 4th Addition to the City of Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska, and
moved that the statutory rules requiring ordinances to be read by title on three different
days be suspended and said ordinances be considered for passage on the same day
upon reading by number only, and then placed on final passage and that the City Clerk
be permitted to call out the number of the ordinance on its first reading and then upon
its final passage. Council Member Kearney seconded the motion to suspend the rules.
President of the Council asked for discussion or if anyone in the audience was
interested in the ordinance. No one responded. Clerk called the roll which resulted as
follows: Aye: Clouse, Buschkoetter, Lear, Lammers, Kearney. Nay: None. Motion to
suspend the rules having been concurred in by three-fourths of the City Council, said
motion was declared passed and adopted. City Clerk read Ordinance No. 7708 by
number. Roll call of those in favor of the passage of said ordinance on the first reading
resulted as follows: Aye: Clouse, Buschkoetter, Lear, Lammers, Kearney. Nay: None.
Motion carried. Ordinance was read by number.
Moved by Kearney seconded by Lammers that Ordinance No. 7708 be passed,
approved and published as required by law. Roll call resulted as follows: Aye: Clouse,
Lear, Lammers, Kearney, Buschkoetter. Nay: None. Motion carried.
By reason of the roll call voted on the first reading and final passage of the ordinance,
Ordinance No. 7708 is declared to be lawfully passed and adopted upon publication in
pamphlet form and made available to the public at the Office of the City Clerk, the
Kearney Police Department and the Kearney Public Library.

COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
ITEM NO. IV - #4
FROM:
MEETING:
March 27, 2012
SUBJECT:
City/County Auction
PRESENTER:
No Presenter – Consent Agenda
Discussion:
The Police Department, along with the Sheriff’s Department, conducts several auctions of
property and vehicles annually. The auction will be to sell impounded and abandoned vehicles
from the Police Impound yard. To facilitate the auction, it is necessary for safety to close off a
portion of Avenue B from North Railroad Street to 21st Street on April 28th between the hours
of 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. for the auction.
This is a safety matter, in so far as the number of people who are in and around the impound
lot grows substantially. To make the area safe, we have used barrier tape and street
barricades in the past to block off the street.
Fiscal Note:
There is no financial consideration involved in the request.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of temporarily closing Avenue B from North Railroad Street to 21st
Street for the annual vehicle auction.
COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
ITEM NO. IV - #5
FROM:
MEETING:
March 27, 2012
SUBJECT:
Airport Terminal Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
PRESENTER:
Background:
As you may remember, the City bid the rehabilitation and expansion of the Airport Terminal
parking lot early this year and only received two bids which were above the Engineer’s
Estimate. The City rejected those bids and on November 9, 2010 the City Council approved
the rebidding of this project hoping for better bids for this coming spring season due to lower
volume of upcoming local paving projects.
On December 28, 2010 the City Council awarded the bid for the Airport Terminal Parking Lot
Rehabilitation Project to Blessing LLC in the amount of $696,717.50. The proposed access
road will be aligned with a future arterial road that is planned by the City on the west side of
Airport Road. The new alignment will shift the access road intersection approximately 50 feet
to the south. A one way loop road flow configuration has been designed. The use of one-way
traffic, curb and gutters will allow efficient and safe drop off/pick up and parking for the public.
A grassed island area/offset near the intersection with Airport Road is provided to allow for the
development of a future left turn lane when required. This project includes the removal and
replacement of the parking lot including area lighting. It will have approximately 130 parking
stalls.
On September 13 the Council approved Change Order No. 1 increasing the contract amount
by $4,332.91 to install eight 40-feet long of copper secondary feeder cables in two existing
ducts from the relocated terminal building transformer (northeast corner of terminal building)
into terminal building. The Contractor has also submitted a request to increase the calendar
days by 14 days to complete the project due to weather and work being performed by utility
companies.
On December 13 The Council approved Change Order No. 2 for a decrease to the contract
price by $7,290.00 to remove the seeding and the cover crop seeding because of the time of
year.
Blessing LLC has submitted Change Order No. 3 for an increase to the contract price by
$12,884.50 which includes the burying of the overhead electrical service line, removal of top
soil, adjusting the manhole to grade, and excavation. This will bring the contract price to
$706,644.91. The City’s engineer has reviewed the change order and recommends that it be
approved.

authorizing the City Manager to execute an Option to Purchase Agreement on behalf of the
City of Kearney for the purchase of 53.34 acres from Two Sisters Farms, Inc. for the purpose
of expanding the Tech Park. In order to prepare the property for future data centers,
improvements to the Tech Park such as moving the NRD channel to the south end of the
property and the construction of a hotel carrier are also needed at this time. The total cost of
purchasing the additional land and the estimated cost of constructing the improvements total
$1,700,150 and are detailed as follows:
Land (53.34 acres)
NRD channel relocation
Hotel carrier
$1,200,150
$ 300,000
$ 200,000
Fiscal Note:
Funding for this project is not included in the current budget, therefore, administration is
recommending that a short-term promissory note in the amount of $1,700,000 be issued by the
City and purchased by the City’s General Fund to fund the project. The proceeds of the note
will be placed in the City’s Economic Development Fund to provide funding for the project
costs. This transaction will be in the form of a formal promissory note as allowed pursuant to
State Statute 18-1750. By law the term of the note cannot exceed two years, however, since
the intention is to repay the note over a five-year period, the note will be renewable every two
years. The interest rate will be 0.50%; therefore, the annual payment will be $345,116.96.
Funding will be included in the Special Sales Tax Fund to repay the note over the next five
years.
Recommended Action:
Administration recommends approval of the ordinance providing for the issuance of a
promissory note in the amount of $1,700,000.00 for the purpose of funding the purchase of

Discussion:
Attached is a letter from Ron Grapes, President of Sun Development, Inc. requesting paving,
water and sanitary sewer districts be created for 13th Street Place from 17th Avenue to its
terminus in a cul-de-sac. The City notified Mr. Grapes on the estimate for the project and
wants the City to proceed with the creation of the districts.
Chapter 16 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes sets out the rules by which water, sewer and
paving districts may be created by public entities. The Council has the authority to create
districts and make improvements and assess the costs to the property that is benefited by the
improvements. The Mayor and Council, by ordinance, shall create districts according to
Sections 16-619 and 16-667 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes. At that time, the City must
publish notice of the creation of the district one time each week for not less than 20 days in a
daily or weekly newspaper of general circulation in the City. After publication, if the owners of
record title representing more than 50 percent of the front footage of the property abutting or
adjoining any continuous or extending improvements objects in writing within 20 days (30 days
for water and sewer) from the first publication of said notice the work will not be done. If
objections are not filed against the district in a timely manner that meets the law, the Mayor
and Council shall proceed to construct such improvements.
Fiscal Note:
Section 57-102 of the Kearney City Code requires the developer to deposit fifty percent of the
total estimated costs of the districts. The remaining unpaid costs of the improvements shall be
assessed against the property in said districts on a basis of special benefit to the property, if
any, as provided by law.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinances creating paving, water and sanitary sewer
districts.

ITEM NO. VI - #1
FROM:
Suzanne Brodine, Assistant City Manager
MEETING:
March 27, 2012
SUBJECT:
Proposed Tax Increment Financing Project
PRESENTER:
Jon Abegglen, Chairman, Kearney CRA
On February 22, 2012 the Kearney Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) approved a
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) application submitted by Mark Benjamin and Mike Kalb, on
behalf of Great Western Properties, L.L.C., for a 25 unit housing development project located
in Area 5. Chairman Jon Abegglen made an administrative correction to the TIF
recommendation on March 22, 2012 to adjust the TIF period and percentage and retain the
maximum cap of $335,000.00. The attached maps outline Area 5 and the project site.
The CRA recognized that significant blight and substandard factors exist in the area and that
redevelopment in Area 5, particularly housing, would be beneficial to the City of Kearney. This
TIF project ameliorates such factors on the project site and creates a substantial investment in
land purchase, site preparation and infrastructure which would not be possible without tax
increment financing. The property has not yet been purchased by the developer, although an
option agreement is in place. Purchase price and infrastructure costs including dirt work, water
and sewer infrastructure, drainage, and paved parking pose a significant impact on
development. Total estimated eligible costs are $398,465.46.
The total new valuation of the property is estimated to be $1,275,000. The most recent
valuation was $234,755.00. This project is estimated to generate an increased tax increment
of $1,040,245.00.
Fiscal Note:
Up to ninety-eight percent of the increased tax increment, approximately $32,536.00 annually,
will be used to pay for eligible land, site preparation, and infrastructure costs over the next 10
years. Taxing authorities will see an immediate total revenue increase of approximately
$700.00.
Recommended Action:
The Community Redevelopment Authority recommends approval of the development project
proposed by Great Western Properties, L.L.C. to use Tax Increment Financing not to exceed
the lessor of 98 percent or $325,000 of the increased tax increment to eligible expenditures in
Redevelopment Area 5 over a 10-year period.
WHEREAS, the City of Kearney, Nebraska, a municipal corporation and city of the
first class, has determined it be desirable to undertake and carry out urban
redevelopment projects in areas of the City which are determined to be substandard
and blighted and in need of redevelopment; and
WHEREAS, the Nebraska Community Development Law, Chapter 18, Article 21,
Nebraska Reissue Revised Statutes of 1991, as amended (the “Act”), prescribes the
requirements and procedures for the planning and implementation of redevelopment
projects; and
WHEREAS, the City has declared an area of the City to be substandard and
blighted and in need of redevelopment pursuant to the Act; and
WHEREAS, the Community Redevelopment Authority of the City of Kearney,
Nebraska (the “Authority”), has prepared a Redevelopment Plan for Area #5 pursuant to
Section 18-2111 of the Act (“Redevelopment Plan”), and recommended the
Redevelopment Plan to the Planning Commission of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City reviewed the Redevelopment Plan
pursuant to the Act and submitted its recommendations, if any, to the Authority,
pursuant to Section 18-2114 of the Act; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 18-2114 of the Act, the Authority submitted
its recommendation, along with the recommendation from the Planning Commission to
the City Council; and
WHEREAS, following consideration of the recommendations of the Planning
Commission and the Authority, and following the public hearing with respect to the
Redevelopment Plan, the City approved the Plan; and
WHEREAS, there has been presented to the City by the Authority for approval
pursuant to and in accordance with Section 18-2119 of the Act a specific
Redevelopment Project within the Redevelopment Plan and as authorized in the
Redevelopment Plan, as legally described as a tract of land described as the south 49

the south 30 feet of Lot 8, Block 9 thereof; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the proposed Redevelopment
Project would not be economically feasible without the use of tax increment financing;
that the proposed Redevelopment Project would not occur in the community without the
Page 2
use of tax increment financing, and; that the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project have been found to be in the long-term best interests of the
community.
