Like to call tonight's meeting to order.

Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance through the flag of the United States of America and to the Republicans.

Under God, indivisible with the liberty and justice for all.

So we begin our meeting this evening.

We'll take a moment to acknowledge that we do have a quorum of planning commissioners present with six of nine in attendance.

I want to thank everyone in the chamber for attending this evening's meeting.

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

It's important that our money 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 a 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 our meeting.

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 interaction when we reach that item on the agenda.

We'll now move to the consent agenda.

And this evening we have two items on the consent agenda.

Commissioners, do you need to pull any items for additional information or questions from staff?

Commissioner Creighton.

I would like to call uh poll item B is in Bravo, please.

Okay, please know for the record that item B has been pulled for from the consent agenda.

Any other questions?

If not, I'll entertain a motion for the passage of item A.

Do I have a motion on the consent agenda?

So moved.

Thank you, Commissioner Chapman.

Do I have a second?

Second.

Thanks, Commissioner Brown.

All those in favor say A.

Aye.

Aye.

All opposed, nay.

And that passes six to zero.

So we'll now move forward on uh item B.

Commissioner Creighton, I'll give you the floor.

Tell us what you're thinking here.

Okay.

Thank you.

Um not asking for a presentation or anything on this.

Just wanted to make a comment.

Um, as noted in our packet, this is an old zoning district that we don't use anymore.

It's an old plan district.

And this is the final plat, just all we're doing is procedural.

We're just setting lot lines and the like.

No issues on that.

My only comment is that probably other than Mr.

Corcoran and myself, who's not here this evening.

We may be the only people that are still around that when that was a uh zoning category.

And so the plan districts were always designed to find something a little different than the standard.

And I know this has gone through the process, and my only comment would be to staff is if for some reason, and I would highly doubt this, that the applicant didn't need to come back and for some administrative changes would just be to encourage to make sure that we continue to maintain the uh the quality that we expected out of that old zoning criteria.

And that that was just the only thing I wanted to do, get on the record about that, and so no questions and problems with it.

Thank you.

All right, fair enough.

Thank you, Commissioner Creighton.

Any follow-up?

If not, um I will entertain a motion for passage of item B.

Mr.

Chair, I move that we approve FB 25-0025.

Thank you, Commissioner Chapman.

Do I have a second?

I'll second that we do.

Thank you, Commissioner Brown.

Uh, we'll move on with a roll call vote, Ms.

Will.

Will you please?

Yes.

Commissioner Chapman?

Yes.

Commissioner Lynn?

Yes.

Commissioner Creighton?

Yes.

Commissioner Brown?

Yes.

Chair Janet?

Yes.

That motion passes six to zero.

Okay, we'll move on to our regular agenda now and public hearings, and this evening we do have two scheduled public hearings, and the first public hearing is a request for approval of the final plat with the location of easements on right-of-way for Stone Bridge South Second Platte, located at the southeast of 168th Terrace and Ridgeview Road.

Mr.

Ho Chaver will present the case.

Welcome and welcome to the City of Olatha Planning staff as well.

Thank you.

Oh gosh, here we go.

All right.

Good evening, Mr.

Chairman, members of the Planning Commission.

The item before you is an application requesting approval of the final plat for Stonebridge South, second plat, located at the southeast intersection of South Ridgeview Road and West 168th Terrace.

This application includes a request to vacate a segment of Ripley Street right-of-way alongside dedicated public easements, thus requiring a public hearing evening.

The site contains roughly 10.8 acres of land within the R1 district.

As proposed, the plat will establish lot lines in keeping with these district standards and dedicate public easements and street right-of-way to serve 35 single family uh residential lots, as well as three tracts of land, which are primarily intended for landscape and open space as highlighted in green on your screens, and future residential development highlighted in orange.

Staff is currently reviewing a lot split application related to this item, which will split the existing lot nine of Stonebridge South First Plat into lot 9A and 9B as highlighted in red on your screen.

Will be incorporated into lot 81, resulting in an additional residential lot in sole ownership of the platted area.

While this is an administrative process, procedurally, it must be recorded prior to the recording of this final plat.

As noted, this vacation also includes a request to vacate a portion of Ripley Street, which was originally intended to serve as approved single family subdivision proposed south of the current site.

However, with the recent approval of the St.

John's Paul Church development, the extension of this roadway is no longer needed.

This change is also consistent with the revised preliminary plat for Stonebridge South, which was followed by that approval.

The city's traffic and utility engineering divisions have reviewed the application material and are supportive of all requests.

Additionally, the applicant has reached out to all utility providers in the area, all of which has provided their consent except for Johnson County Wastewater, who we are still waiting on in response.

In light of these factors, staff recommends approval of the final plat and requested vacations with the stipulation that the applicant provides the remaining utility consent form to the city and for the lot split for lot nine of Stonebridge South First Plat to be recorded prior to the recording of this plat.

With that, Mr.

Chair, I'll yield for any questions you may have, uh noting that the applicant is here this evening.

Excellent, thank you, Mr.

Ho Chaver.

Um Commissioners, do you have any questions for staff on this issue?

Okay, seeing none of would the applicant like to make a presentation, or is they just available for questions?

They're just excuse me.

Uh they're just available for questions.

Okay, all right, excellent.

Um, now we'll open the public hearing then.

Um however, we had nobody sign up for the public hearing tonight, so uh I will entertain a motion to close the public hearing.

I move we close the public hearing.

Thank you, Commissioner Brown.

Do I have a second?

Second.

Thank you, Commissioner Chair Chapman.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed, nay.

And the public hearing is now closed.

Uh is there any additional discussion needed for this item?

If not, I'll call for a motion on the item on FP 25-0023.

Chair, I'll make a motion to be approved.

Uh FP 25-0023 as stipulated by staff.

Thank you, Commissioner Tronis.

Do I have a second?

Second.

Thank you, Commissioner Brown.

Ms.

Will, roll call vote, please.

Commissioner Chapman.

Yes.

Commissioner Lynn.

Yes.

Commissioner Creighton?

Yes.

Commissioner Brown?

Yes.

Commissioner Toronto.

Yes.

Chair Janer?

Yes.

That motion passes tax to zero.

I thank our applicant for making the drive to come up.

We'll move forward.

Our second public hearing is a request for approval of vacation of easements for the quick trip, which is located at 14904 West 119th Street.

Ms.

Morgan is here to present the case.

Welcome.

Hi.

Good evening, Commissioners.

Andrew Morgan, planner two.

As introduced, this is a request to vacate multiple public utility easements, including five drainage easements and one utility easements, which requires a public hearing before the planning commission.

The property is located at 14904 West 119th Street, northeast of Black Bob Road, and 119th Street.

These vacations highlighted here in red will accommodate the construction of a new quick trip gas station.

All public notification requirements have been met.

Staff received one inquiry, and the applicant received two general inquiries from the public regarding this, and all questions were answered.

Staff recommends approval with no stipulations, and this item will proceed to the October 7th City Council meeting.

This concludes my presentations and I'm available for questions.

Excellent.

Thank you, Ms.

Morgan.

Commissioners, do you have any questions for staff on this issue?

Commissioner Chapman?

Mr.

Chair, just a quick question on the queries, the questions that were raised by people.

Did it have anything to do with this this before the planning commission tonight or just other general questions about the uh project?

Um so one question was from the property owner to the north, and they just um wanted to verify that it would not have any impact on the property.

Okay.

Okay.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

Any additional questions?

Okay, if not, um does the applicant want to make any statements or comments on this in presentation?

They're just available for questions if needed.

All right, thank you.

We'll now open the public hearing.

However, as with the first, um we have no one signed up to speak tonight, so uh I will entertain a motion to close the public hearing.

So moved.

Thank you, Commissioner Chapman.

Do I have a second?
