OLD BUSINESS 

Chairman Martinek: We have the Kaw Valley Industrial Park. Preliminary Plat. Philip & Suzan Reed, Owners. This item was tabled from 6/20/2007. I see a report from Dan Van Patten on this. Michelle, will you read Dan’s report for the record? Please refer to Item A attached.

Chairman Martinek: Does anyone have any thoughts on this report from Dan?

Bryan Smith: What is the 45’ by 80’ area?

Roger Dill, PLS, Story/Atlas Surveyors, 2300 Hutton Rd, KC, KS 66111, Surveyor for the applicants, Philip and Suzan Reed: John Bayless had requested that for a future signal across from FedEx. He requested that area to be set apart as right of way.

I can address the building also. The building is slightly showing over the right of way line. The line you are looking at that goes through the middle of the building is a setback line, for building setbacks. It is there because they require a building setback behind the right of way. The right of way was originally 30 feet they are requesting 50 feet. That building will be in the right of way by a couple of feet. Obviously at the time of the final plat, we will have to get with John and Mr. Van Petten and find out if there is something different we can do or do we just put a note on there saying that the building does encroach on the right of way line and the city takes no liability or responsibility for the building.

Bryan Smith: It looks like we can, based on Dan’s report, he’s recommending we approve it and noting these 4 or 5 things here that need to be noted on the final plat. They need to have a traffic study, a drainage study and take care of the right of way issues.

Roger Dill: I think both of those have been done, the traffic study and the drainage study? Didn’t Rueben do that? Yes, she hired an engineer, Rueben . . .

Suzan Reed: Yes, I hired Rueben Nigara at the recommendation of Mr. Van Petten.

Bryan Smith: So when you submit the final plat those would be submitted as well?

Roger Dill: Yes. We will make sure they have been submitted.

Harold Berry: That building that is in question, is that going to remain there?

Roger Dill: Yes, as far as we know. Obviously Mrs. Reed has a potential buyer for this particular piece of ground. And we have no idea what his intent for the ground is. He just wants to buy a particular portion of the property and that is why we are subdividing it from the original Kaw Valley Industrial Park to a new Kaw Valley Industrial Park because he only wants a part of Lot 6 and 7. He does not want the additional lots Mrs. Reed owns. So the only way his title company would insure the property is to have a replat. Originally we approached the title company and said we would do a lot split and submit a lot split and that way he would have ownership of the property, but his title company wasn’t agreeable to that.

Harold Berry: What were those lot numbers you just referred to, sir?

Roger Dill: The original lots were 6 and 7. He wanted a portion of lots 6 and 7. And I think that lot 7 is the where The Judy Company is.

After further discussion:

Bryan Smith: I make a motion to approve the Prelimnary Plat of the Kaw Valley Industrial Park II, with the following exceptions that Dan had outlined, an acceptable traffic study be submitted at the time of the final plat, a drainage study and that we are not accepting The Judy Company building. Please refer to Item A attached.

Robert Craven: Second. Motion carried.

ITEMS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION

Kelli Curry: Second. Motion Carried.

Bryan Smith: I thought we had scheduled a public hearing for the final draft approval of the I-435 Overlay District.

Kelli Curry: It needs to be published 21 days before the hearing.

Robert Craven: So that’s August 15?

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE AUGUST CALENDAR THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH DAYS BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING TO MEET THE 21 DAY PUBLISHING REQUIREMENT. CHAIRMAN MARTINEK WAS NOTIFIED BY THE CITY CLERK OF THE DELAY OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Secretary: The Mayor is highly recommending the training by the MLA for Planning and Zoning on Friday, August 10. The city would pay for this training.
