The Olathe Planning Commission met on October 26, 2026, with six of nine commissioners present. The meeting covered one item pulled from the consent agenda and five public hearings, with all motions passing unanimously (6-0). Key topics included minor plat adjustments, special use permit renewals for vehicle sales and quarry operations, and a major rezoning for a residential subdivision.
Like to call tonight's meeting to order. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the United States of America. And to the Republic for which it stands. One nation. Indivisible. As we begin the meeting this evening, I'll take a moment to acknowledge that we have a quorum of planning commissioners present with six of nine. We're expecting one more, but either way, we got a quorum. We're good to go. So Commissioners Corcran and Sealing are not expected to be here this evening. 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 unified development ordinance. It's important that our meetings are conducted with dignity and respect. And 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 here 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, planning commission strives not to engage with any party on the issues on our agenda prior to the meeting. Should that interaction take place as a record 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 in the agenda. This evening we have three items on our content consent agenda. Consent agenda's items are generally considered routine by the planning commission and may be approved in one motion. And there is no public hearing for consent agenda items. There will be no discussion unless a commissioner requests that an item be removed in the consent agenda and considered separately. This evening, actually, I would like to pull item B, which is MP26-0008 for a presentation. Commissioners, do you have any other issues on the agenda we you would like to? Okay, seeing none, um I'll have our representative speak to us on MP26-0008. Chair Janner, would you like to do a vote on the other items, or do you want to hold that? Um we'll vote on this one, then we'll vote on all the ones at the end. Thank you. Good evening, Commissioners and members of the public. My name is Paige Gersner, planning intern. Before you tonight is a request for approval of a minor plat for Dowlington Third Platte, a replat of lots 28 and 29. The site is located southwest of West 143rd Street and South Black Bob Road within the Dowlington development. The minor plat contains two lots on approximately 0.67 acres that replatts the existing lots 28 and 29 of Dallington first plat as lots 76 and 77. No public easements or right of way are dedicated with this plat. Therefore, the plat does not require city council acceptance. The image on the left-hand side shows existing lots 28 and 29. On the right hand side shows proposed lots 76 and 77 and aligns with the exhibit provided in your packet. This replat configures the property lines between two existing lots, lots 28 and 29 to allow for the transfer of land between the property owners for additional yard area on lot twenty-eight. Staff is recommending approval of the minor plat with no stipulations. This concludes my presentation for this evening, and I'm happy to stand for any questions. Thank you, Paige. Are we expecting any additional plats needing approval with this specific development?
