Like to call tonight's meeting to order.

Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

Good evening and welcome to the City of Olatha's Planning Commission meeting for March 24th.

As you can see, this is our first meeting in our temporary location.

City Council and the Planning Commission will meet in the here through May while construction is taking place at City Hall, and cross our fingers and maybe it's no longer than that.

So with that said, I'll take a moment to acknowledge that we have a quorum of planning commissioners present with nine out of nine in attendance.

So welcome everyone.

Planning commission meetings are an important part of the process for interpreting and applying the city's comprehensive plan and unified development ordinance.

It's important that our meetings are conducted with dignity and respect that applies to every person in attendance.

We strive to provide an atmosphere where the ideas and opinions of all participants are held in the highest regard.

Finally, the actions on the issues we discuss are ultimately under the responsibility of the city council.

As the planning commission, we're here to help the council as our elected representatives to be fully informed to make the best choices for our city.

By statute, the planning commission strives not to engage with any party on the issues on our agenda prior to the meeting tonight.

Should that interaction take place as a result of a business relationship or any other interaction, which we refer to as ex parte communication?

Commissioners will report that when we reach that item in the agenda.

We'll now move on to the consent agenda.

Tonight it looks like we have three items on the consent agenda.

Commissioners, is there any items that need to be pulled for additional information or questions from staff?

Seeing none, I'll call for a motion.

Mr.

Chair, I'll move to approve the consent agenda.

Thank you, Commissioner Barin.

May I have a second?

Second.

Thank you.

I kind of look not supposed to look.

Okay, thank you, Commissioner Bergida.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed, nay.

And that passes nine to zero.

We'll now move on to our regular business and on our regular agenda.

We have two scheduled public hearings tonight.

The first public hearing is a request for approval of a plat and vacation of an easement for the Lions Den Townhomes, which are located southwest of Spruce Street and Kansas City Road.

Ms.

Corillo is here this evening to present the case.

Thank you, Chairman.

Emily Corillo, senior planner, has mentioned for your consideration this evening.

This is an application for a final plat for Lions Den Townhomes, which includes a public easement vacation with this application and therefore requires a public hearing per UDO.

The subject property is located at 514 East Kansas City Road, and that's near the intersection of East Spruce and East Kansas City Road.

This replat will establish lot lines, dedicate public easements, and vacate a portion of the existing sanitary sewer easement.

The final plat includes one residential lot located on approximately 0.9 acres as intended for the construction of two remaining townhomes structures previously approved at this location.

This replat is consistent with the revised preliminary site development plan.

Zoom in just a touch here.

Highlight this existing 10-foot sanitary easement.

You can see highlighted there kind of in a reddish-orange color.

That's the segment that's going to be vacated and it's being just slightly relocated.

It's just going to shift positioning, and then this is where the sanitary sewer easement is being dedicated per the plat this evening.

All public notification requirements were met, and staff has not received any correspondence related to this case.

The applicant nor the city has received any correspondence regarding the plat.

So at this time, staff does recommend approval of FP 25005 with no stipulations.

And upon approval, this application does continue on to City Council for consideration of dedications on April 1st.

That concludes my presentation.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Are there commissioners have any questions for staff on this?

Commissioner Crayton.

Ms.
