BY DAN FIELD

The Lake Sun The Osage Beach Board of Aldermen this week is expected to put the finishing touches on an ordinance that will rezone 34.1-acres of waterfront to allow for a multifaceted housing development. The board approved first reading of the rezoning request at its April 7 meeting and second reading is on the April 21 agenda.The request is to rezone from A-1 Agriculture and C-1 Commercial to R-1b Single Family and R-3 Multi-Family. The land is located 1,100 feet west of Case Road on the north side of Sycamore Valley Drive. The R1b permits lots of 6,500 or more with single family dwelling units, and the R-3 zone allows for multifamily facilities with one unit per 2,500 square feet of property. Applicant is Jim Nugent Harpers Cove Investment Company. Key partners in the venture plan to subdivide the property into 38 single-family lots (Phase 1) in the R-1b zoned land. Of those, 16 would be lakefront and 22 would b h t' id d d ti

Exploring expansion

Although the City of Linn Creek would benefit from the development of additional land, forced annexation of a plot in the adjacent unincorporated section of the city was never the plan. In fact, Matt Kostelnik, Economic Development Specialist, said annexation isn ’t even the word that applies here.

This potential expansion, Matt said, would be voluntary and would mean some properties would be incorporated into the city limits. City of Linn Creek.

There is a 3,600-acre parcel of land for sale that touches Linn Creek. If developed, neighboring properties would be incorporated into the city. The positive impact for these properties would be the probability of access to city sewer and water. Kostelnik said that this land basically surrounds the entire city limits. It touches the City of Camdenton along the 54 corridor and extends to Big Surf water park.

“We were just curious as to what residents ’ thoughts were if the city were to grow, ” he explained. A survey was sent asking them if they would be in favor of the expansion and possible improvements to their utilities. In addition, two public meetings were held to gain feedback from the idea. The first, held Jan. 16, was largely attended. The majority of those who attended were against the idea. A second meeting, held March 13, had fewer attendees.

The city, Kostelnik explained, was researching future expansion in the event someone wanted to purchase and develop the property that is for sale. Kostelnik said the research looked at the region as a whole. Since Linn Creek almost touches both the cities of Camdenton and Osage Beach, this would be a good opportunity to fill in the gaps.

The land could be used for a number of purposes including housing and commercial development. “When you look at other cities comprehensive plans it’ s apparent that Linn Creek would be the prime location for affordable housing for any age, ” Kostelnik said.
