10. Ordinance approving a three-year special use permit for a basic industry use known as SRS Lenexa located at 14303 W. 100th Street in the BP-2, Planned Manufacturing District

[10. Ordinance approving a three-year special use permit for a basic industry use known as SRS Lenexa located at 14303 W. 100th Street in the BP-2, Planned Manufacturing District]

KNOWN AS SRS LENEXA, LOCATED AT 14303 WEST 100TH STREET IN THE BP TWO PLANNED MANUFACTURING DISTRICT.

WELCOME BACK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MAYOR. STEPHANIE SULLIVAN HERE FROM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

AND AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR SRS LENEXA FOR A BASIC INDUSTRY USE HERE AT 14303 WEST 100TH STREET. ON THE POWERPOINT NOW YOU CAN SEE THE PROJECT LOCATION.

IT IS SORT OF NEAR THE LACHMANN EXIT OFF OF 435.

AND YOU CAN SEE MORE DESCRIPTIVELY HERE ON THIS AERIAL IMAGE JUST OFF SANTA FE TRAIL AND 100TH STREET IN THAT SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION.

THE TENANT SPACE IS JUST UNDER 10,000FT². AND THIS TENANT PROPOSES TO DO A BASIC INDUSTRY USE.

THAT IS A PRETTY BROAD USE CATEGORY IN OUR CODE.

AND THE REASON WHY WE HAD TO CLASSIFY IT AS BASIC INDUSTRY IS BECAUSE OF THE STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

SRS LENEXA IS A POOL SUPPLY COMPANY, SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THEY HAVE VARIOUS CHEMICALS AND MATERIALS THAT THEY NEED TO SERVICE POOLS WITH OR BE ABLE TO STERILIZE POOLS, MAINTAIN POOLS, THAT SORT OF THING.

THEY PROPOSE TO USE ABOUT 1000FT² OF THIS TENANT SPACE FOR OFFICE USE, AND THE REMAINDER WOULD BE FOR THE STORAGE OF THESE TYPES OF MATERIALS.

ON THE SCREEN NOW YOU CAN SEE THE ZONING MAP.

THE SITE IS ZONED BP2, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS PARK TYPE DISTRICTS.

THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATES THIS FOR BUSINESS PARK TYPE USES, WHICH AGAIN IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT INDUSTRIAL TYPE OF USE.

SO BOTH THE ZONING AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP ARE CONSISTENT IN THIS CASE, AS WELL AS CONSISTENT WITH THIS TYPE OF PROPOSED USE.

HERE'S A STREET VIEW. ON THE TOP YOU CAN SEE THE VIEW FROM 100TH STREET AND THE TENANT ENTRANCE THAT IS LOCATED RIGHT HERE WHERE THE MOUSE IS POINTING. AND THEN THE LOADING AND UNLOADING AREA IS AT THE BACK OF THE BUILDING OFF SANTA FE TRAIL DRIVE.

SO THAT FIRST TOP PICTURE IS TAKEN KIND OF LOOKING FROM HERE AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

AND THIS IS ON THAT SOUTH SIDE. OOPS. I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DISCLAIMER HERE, BUT HERE IS A HANDY TABLE OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WILL BE STORING.

JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS REVIEWED THIS EXTENSIVELY.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON OUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT, THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY CONCERNS AT THIS TIME.

THE APPLICANT ALSO SUPPLIED A LETTER DETAILING ALL OF THIS HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INFORMATION AND OTHER STAFF MEMBERS HAVE REVIEWED, AND STAFF DOES NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE MATERIALS OR THE PROPOSED STORAGE.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 13 CRITERIA FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT REVIEWS.

TWO THAT I WANT TO FOCUS ON THIS EVENING ARE NUMBER FOUR, THE POTENTIAL EFFECT ON NEARBY PROPERTY.

AND NUMBER 11, THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WITH HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

FOR NUMBER FOUR, AGAIN, I WANT TO NOTE THAT ALL LIFE SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND MEASURES REQUIRED BY THE CITY AND THE OCCUPANCY CLASS LETTER ARE TO BE MET.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CONDUCTS ANNUAL INSPECTIONS OF THESE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE AS WELL.

SO THIS WILL BE REVIEWED. AND AGAIN, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS WELL AWARE OF THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND WILL LIKELY PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS IN COMPLIANCE.

NUMBER 11 FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. EVERYTHING IS COMPLIANT WITH IFC, NFPA, AND OCLC REQUIREMENTS.

[00:05:02]

SPILLS ARE MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN DURING THE SHIPPING AND RECEIVING.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, GOING ON AND OFF TRUCKS TO BE DELIVERED OR PUT INTO THE STORAGE AREA, AND THEY KEEP DIFFERENT ACID NEUTRALIZER AND SPILL KITS ON SITE TO CLEAN UP ANY POTENTIAL MESSES.

WITH THAT, STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THIS BASIC INDUSTRY USE.

AND I DO WANT TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD, WE HELD A PUBLIC HEARING AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND DID NOT HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SPEAK IN FAVOR OR IN OPPOSITION OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM. THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE. MELANIE. STEPHANIE, YOU MENTIONED THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DIDN'T HAVE ANY COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR WERE AGAINST. DO WE HAVE WE HAD ANY SORT OF COMMENTS FROM THE OTHER TENANTS IN THE BUILDING OR ANY OTHER BUSINESSES AROUND? TO DATE, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMENTS, EITHER VERBAL OR VIA EMAIL WRITTEN COMMENTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSED USE. AND WE FOLLOWED ALL OF THE NECESSARY LEGAL STEPS FOR NOTIFICATION.

OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. DO WE HAVE THE APPLICANT WITH US HERE TONIGHT? ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD TO THE PRESENTATION, MA'AM? IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. HI.

MY NAME IS EMILY STEWART, AND I AM A LAND PLANNER ON.

I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT SRS. AND MY GROUP HAD PREPARED THE SITE PLANS IN THE APPLICATIONS TO SUBMIT FOR THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT. AND WE ARE LOCATED IN BLUE BELL, PENNSYLVANIA.

OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT SRS, THEY DO PROVIDE EACH BRANCH WITH DOCUMENTATION AND ANNUAL OR THEY PROVIDE TRAINING FOR ALL EMPLOYEES AND NEW EMPLOYEES AND DO ANNUAL, I GUESS, TRAINING SESSIONS ON HOW TO IDENTIFY HAZARDS HOW TO CLEAN THEM UP, WHO TO CONTACT AND HOW TO PROPERLY DISPOSE OF ANY CHEMICALS IF THERE'S ANY ISSUES WITH THEM ON SITE. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH.

CHELSEA. HOW LONG IS SRS BEEN IN BUSINESS? QUITE A QUITE A WHILE.

THEY JUST RECENTLY HAVE BEEN BOUGHT OUT BY HOME DEPOT OR THEY'RE UNDER HOME DEPOT'S, I GUESS IS THE PARENT COMPANY NOW? OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WITH THAT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO PASS THE ORDINANCE APPROVING THE THREE YEAR SPECIAL PERMIT FOR BASIC INDUSTRY USE, KNOWN AS SRS LENEXA, LOCATED AT 14303 WEST 100TH STREET. WAS THAT MARK? THANK YOU. MOTION BY MARK, SECOND BY MELANIE.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. ITEM 11 IS A CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR RETAIL LENEXA OLD TOWN,

[11. Consideration of a preliminary plan for Retail Lenexa Old Town located at 9213 Pflumm Road in the HBD, Historic Business District]

LOCATED AT 9213 PFLUMM ROAD IN THE HISTORIC BUSINESS DISTRICT.

STEPHANIE. THANK YOU. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. STEPHANIE SULLIVAN, AGAIN FROM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

AND AS MENTIONED, THIS IS THE RETAIL LENEXA OLD TOWN PROJECT.

AND THIS IS AN EXCITING PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN OLD TOWN.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS IS THE GENERAL LOCATION IN RELATION TO LENEXA BOUNDARY.

AND ZOOMING IN A BIT HERE IS A AERIAL IMAGE OF THE SITE.

LET ME GO AROUND HERE WITH THE MOUSE. THE RED BORDER IS THE PROPERTY OUTLINE.

ACROSS THE STREET WE HAVE HOLY TRINITY EARLY EDUCATION CENTER.

THERE'S A BANK TO THE NORTH, A CITY OWNED PARKING LOT HERE TO THE EAST IN YELLOW.

THIS GREEN AREA HERE IS A PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENT THAT EXISTS CURRENTLY BEHIND THE ROW OF RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS THAT FRONT SANTA FE TRAIL DRIVE IN OLD TOWN HERE.

AND ANOTHER PARK, EXCUSE ME. PUBLIC PARKING LOT HERE TO THE SOUTH.

THE SITE IS ZONED HBD, WHICH IS HISTORIC BUSINESS DISTRICT.

AND YOU CAN SEE IT IS WITHIN THAT PARTICULAR DISTRICT.

AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP CLASSIFIES THIS FOR MIXED USES AS IT DOES THE REMAINDER OF THE HISTORIC BUSINESS AREA.

HERE IS AN IMAGE OF THE SITE. PLAN ON AN AERIAL TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT OF WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THE BUILDING FRONTS PFLUMM ROAD.

I'LL SHOW YOU SOME ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDING AND WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE FROM THE STREET IN A COUPLE SLIDES HERE. THERE IS A REAR AREA OF THE BUILDING THAT INCLUDES A DOCK DOOR BACK HERE AND A TRASH ENCLOSURE. TYPICAL REAR OF THE BUILDING TYPE THINGS FOUND BACK THERE.

[00:10:02]

THERE IS SOME PARKING ON SITE. THESE WILL BE PARALLEL SPACES.

THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS, BOTH FROM STAFF AND THE COMMISSION, REGARDING THIS ACCESSIBLE SPACE HERE.

AND JUST NOTE THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL BE REVIEWING AS PART OF THE FINAL PLAN PROCESS.

SO DON'T THINK TOO FAR INTO THAT ONE AT THIS POINT, BUT WE'LL BE IRONING OUT THE DETAILS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS APPROPRIATE ACCESSIBLE PARKING FOR THE SITE. AND THIS BUILDING IS BROKEN UP INTO THREE TENANT SPACES.

THE REMAINDER OF THE PARKING FOR THESE USES WILL BE SATISFIED WITH THE PUBLIC PARKING LOTS NEARBY.

THIS IMAGE SHOWS THE FLOOR PLAN WITH THE THREE TENANT SPACES.

HERE IS ONE TENANT SPACE COLORED IN BLUE. ANOTHER TENANT SPACE IN THIS LIGHT GREEN.

THESE ARE ENTRANCES WITH THE ARROWS, AND THEN THE MAIN TENANT SPACE IS THE YELLOW ONE.

AND IT HAS SORT OF THIS BACK STORAGE AREA. THE DEVELOPER FOR THIS SITE IS LOOKING TO FILL THIS YELLOW SPACE, AND I BELIEVE AT THIS TIME THEY'RE NOT CERTAIN OF WHAT OTHER TENANTS WILL OCCUPY THE BLUE AND GREEN SPACES ON THIS DIAGRAM.

HERE IS THE PRELIMINARY LANDSCAPE PLAN, AGAIN THIS WILL BE ADJUSTED AND REFINED WITH FINAL PLAN STAGE.

BUT THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA THAT THERE WILL BE SOME GREENERY AROUND CERTAIN AREAS OF THE BUILDING.

THIS BLUE AREA IS SIDEWALK AND WE'LL BE CONNECTING TO SOME PAVER SIDEWALK HERE.

AND AS PROMISED, HERE ARE THOSE EXCITING ELEVATIONS OFF OF PFLUMM.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD SEE FROM PFLUMM. THERE'S A SIGN BAND AREA, MASONRY, LOTS OF GLAZING AND ORNATE DOORS.

AND AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT FROM A 3D VIEW HERE, WITH SOME AWNINGS PROJECTING OUTWARD.

AGAIN, SOME OF THIS WILL BE REFINED AND MAY LOOK SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BY THE TIME WE GET TO FINAL PLAN REVIEW.

AND THEN WE HAVE THE BACK OF THE BUILDING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT DOCK AREA. AND AGAIN THAT MASONRY ELEMENT CARRIED THROUGHOUT.

AND THEN HERE ARE SOME ELEVATIONS OF THE SIDES OF THE BUILDING.

ONE OF THESE SIDES FACES THE EXISTING BANK PARKING LOT.

AND ONE FACES THAT PUBLIC ALLEYWAY. WITH THAT STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THIS PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE RETAIL LENEXA OLD TOWN SITE. AND I JUST WANT TO NOTE, TOO, THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROCEEDING WITH A FINAL PLAN.

SO EXPECT TO SEE THAT AT PLANNING COMMISSION PENDING APPROVAL OF THIS PRELIMINARY PLAN THIS EVENING.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE.

MR. NOLTE. TELL US MORE. DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL UP ANY SLIDES? I'M FINE. OKAY. GOOD EVENING. COUNCIL AND MAYOR.

I'M THOMAS NOLTE, NOLTE AND ASSOCIATE ARCHITECTS AND LAND PLANNERS, 9400 REEDS ROAD, OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS. WITH ME TONIGHT, I HAVE BROUGHT OUR OWNER, JOHN HIGGINS.

AND ALSO WITH HIM IS MR. BRUCE RICKEY, OUR BUILDER, AND JUDD CLAUSSEN, OUR CIVIL ENGINEER.

AND WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO BE HERE AND TO BE WE HAD A REALLY GOOD MEETING AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

AND, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT CAME OUT.

ONE OF THEM WAS BASICALLY THE BUILDING. IT'S AN IRISH THEME.

MR. HIGGINS HAS A VISION. AND HE LIKES THAT LOOK.

AND, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY, MAYBE SOMEDAY YOU CAN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND GO IN.

AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CUSTOM SUIT, HE'S THE GUY.

AND SO VERY MUCH A CRAFTSMAN ART OF TAILORING.

BUT WHO'S THE OTHER CUSTOMERS? WELL, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, POLICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE THEIR COLOR GUARDS.

ALSO THE MILITARY A BIG CUSTOMER. AND AS THEY HAVE SPECIFIC OUTFITS AND UNIFORMS THAT THEY WEAR FOR THESE ACTIVITIES, ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS THE HBD.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU SAW ONE OF THOSE COME FLYING THROUGH? NOT TOO OFTEN.

SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SITE, AN OPEN SITE THAT BECAME OPEN.

WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS SITE AND I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE. I LOVE THE BILL, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE, BUT THIS ONE. MAYOR BOEHM'S GRANDMOTHER LIVED AT THIS SITE.

AND SO THAT TELLS YOU HOW HISTORIC THIS OLD TOWN IS.

THE OTHER THING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, OF COURSE, WAS THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW SITES THAT ACTUALLY HAS SOME PARKING.

IT'S A VERY LOW USE SITE, YOU KNOW, SO MOSTLY APPOINTMENTS AND THEN HOPEFULLY AN ACCOUNTANT NEXT DOOR OR MAYBE SOME INSURANCE IN THE OTHER

[00:15:07]

UNTIL THE BUSINESS CONTINUES TO GROW. SO WE'RE VERY PLEASED.

WE HAD A UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO CITY COUNCIL.

MR. HIGGINS HAS A PRODUCT THAT IS CUSTOM. IT IS SHIPPED WORLDWIDE, AND WE HAVE THE BACK AREA THERE THAT WILL HANDLE THOSE DELIVERIES AND SHIPPING AREAS THAT WILL GO TO THESE VARIOUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE DESIRES FOR THIS CUSTOM WORK. I THINK ANOTHER INTERESTING ASPECT IS NOT ONLY IS WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO BASICALLY THEME THE BUILDING TO GET A CERTAIN LOOK AND TO HAVE IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE COMES THERE, MAYBE SOMEDAY THEY'LL THINK THEY'RE ON LONDON OR EVEN DUBLIN, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU COULD EXPERIENCE AND SEE REAL CRAFTSMEN THAT DEVELOP GARMENTS. SO KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW, ANOTHER THING THAT THIS IS THIS IS MORE OF A PERSONAL INSIGHT, I WOULD SAY, NOT ONLY TO THE HISTORIC BUSINESS DISTRICT, BUT BRIEFLY, WE TALKED ABOUT HOW LENEXA HAS A HISTORY OF MAKING CAPITAL INVESTMENTS. AND RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET THERE'S A BIG ONE.

AND WHEN WE SEE THESE INVESTMENTS, BE IT IN OUR ROADWAYS, OUR INFRASTRUCTURE OR OUR FACILITIES, WE OFTEN SEE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND IT COME TOGETHER AND IMPROVE.

AND I THINK WE'RE SEEING THAT HERE. THERE'S SOME REAL INTEREST IN OLD TOWN, NOT ONLY AT THIS END, BUT I THINK SHORTLY WE'LL SEE SOME INTEREST ON THE OTHER END, TOO.

AND SO OLD TOWN'S GOT ITS PLACE AND IT'S COMING INTO ITS OWN AGAIN ONCE EVERY CENTURY OR SO, I GUESS. BUT THIS IS EXCITING TO SEE AN PROJECT COME BEFORE THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS.

THIS IS OUR STOP NUMBER TWO. THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS OUR FIRST STOP.

THIS IS OUR SECOND STOP ON THIS RECOMMENDATION THAT HAS BEEN MADE ON PRELIMINARY PLAN.

AND AS STEPHANIE MENTIONED, WE DO HAVE ACTIVITY RIGHT NOW ON THE FINAL PLAN APPROVAL.

AND WE ARE SHAPING AND TUNING IT. AND THERE'S SOME ITEMS THAT NEED SOME ATTENTION.

AND WE'RE PUTTING IT ON THERE, MAKING SURE THAT WE GET GOOD MATCHES BETWEEN THE LANDSCAPE PLAN AND THE SITE AND THE MOVING AROUND OF THE TRASH ENCLOSURES AND LITTLE THINGS. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW.

AND WE'RE VERY PLEASED, THOUGH, TO PRESENT THIS PROJECT TO YOU TONIGHT.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M SURE BETWEEN JUDD CLAWSON AND I, WE CAN ANSWER THOSE.

THANK YOU. YES. CHELSEA. HI, TOM. ACTUALLY, NOT SO MUCH A QUESTION AS JUST ECHOING WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BRINGING A NEW DEVELOPMENT INTO THIS AREA.

FINALLY, AND AS I WAS READING THROUGH THE PACKET, IT OCCURRED TO ME AS WELL THAT THIS COULD BE A START OF BRINGING SOME MORE IN.

AND I WAS THRILLED WHEN I SAW THIS PROPOSAL AND JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ARCHITECTURAL ESTHETIC THAT'S COMING TO IT.

I THINK IT TIES IN NICELY WITH OLD TOWN, SO I'M REALLY EXCITED.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BILL.

THANK YOU, CHELSEA. THAT'S REALLY WELL SAID. AND TOM IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO HAVE YOU COME UP HERE AND EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT BEFORE US CHAT ABOUT LENEXA AND THE HISTORY OF LENEXA AND AS MENTIONING BOEHM'S GRANDMA.

IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON ANYWHERE IN THE AREA.

JUST YOU'RE ENJOYABLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

MARK. YEAH. I WANT TO SAY TO JOHN AND TO TOM AND YOUR GROUP.

GOOD LUCK. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS DOWNTOWN AREA.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO. I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE PROJECT OVER THE YEARS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEW IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT AREA.

IT'S AWESOME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCIL. ANYTHING FROM YOU TWO DOWN THERE? ALL GOOD. OKAY. I WOULD ALSO SHARE THE SAME SENTIMENT AS OTHERS.

THIS IS TREMENDOUSLY EXCITING TO SEE NEW DEVELOPMENT IN OLD TOWN.

[00:20:01]

I ALSO WOULD SAY THAT IT'S KIND OF A COOL JUXTAPOSITION.

THERE'S BEEN SUCH A GREAT SUCCESS IN SINCERELY, SUSAN FOR WOMEN TO VISIT THAT SHOPPING AREA.

AND BY, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS KIND OF THE MOST, YOU KNOW, MOST IMPORTANT GARMENT FOR THEIR MOST IMPORTANT DAYS OF THEIR LIFE.

YOU MIGHT IMAGINE THAT THE TWO MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY WOULD DO THAT TOGETHER IN THIS SCENARIO.

ALSO APPRECIATE THAT THE SCALE AND STYLE OF THE BUILDING IS RESPECTFUL OF OLD TOWN.

TOM, I KNOW THAT YOU'LL TREAT IT WELL. AND CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS TO US, AND WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE WHERE IT GOES. THANK YOU MAYOR.

THANK YOU. WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR RETAIL LENEXA OLD TOWN.

SO MOVED. SECOND. MOTION BY CRAIG. SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU. ITEM 12 IS CONSIDERATION OF A REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR LENEXA CITY CENTER.

[12. Consideration of a revised preliminary plan for Lenexa City Center North Village Townhomes located at the northeast corner of Winchester Street & Penrose Lane in the CC, Planned City Center District]

NORTH VILLAGE TOWNHOMES, LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF WINCHESTER STREET AND PENROSE LANE IN THE CITY CENTER.

PLANNED CITY CENTER DISTRICT. STEPHANIE. THANK YOU AGAIN MAYOR STEPHANIE SULLIVAN, AGAIN FROM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

I WON'T REPEAT ALL OF THAT, BUT THIS AGAIN, IS THE NORTH VILLAGE TOWNHOMES PROJECT, AND THIS IS A REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAN.

THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED IN CITY CENTER, NOT FAR FROM WHERE WE SIT RIGHT NOW.

FOR THOSE THAT AREN'T AWARE, WE ARE ROUGHLY IN THIS AREA HERE AND THE SITE IS JUST NORTH OF US, NORTH OF 87TH STREET NEAR WINCHESTER AND PENROSE.

YOU CAN SEE THE SITE IS SORT OF A CANDY CANE SHAPE, IF YOU WILL, AND IT'S CURRENTLY VACANT LAND.

THE SITE IS ZONED CC, WHICH MEANS CITY CENTER.

YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE PURPLE. THERE'S THE SITE OUTLINE AGAIN, AND IT IS DESIGNATED AS CITY CENTER CORE ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

THESE AGAIN ARE CONSISTENT WITH BOTH EACH OTHER.

THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THE ZONING AND THE PROPOSED USE, WHICH IS SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED TOWNHOMES.

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 61 TOWNHOME UNITS IN A TOTAL OF TEN BUILDINGS.

THEY RANGE IN, I THINK, A THREE UNIT BUILDING TO 8 OR 9 UNITS PER BUILDING.

YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A FEW AREAS WHERE THE BUILDINGS ARE BROKEN UP HERE ALONG THOSE LONGER STRETCHES, AND THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL STYLES. AND I'LL SHOW YOU A SLIDE THAT SHOWS THOSE LOCATIONS OF THOSE STYLES.

YOU CAN SEE HERE WITH THE YELLOW ARROWS, THE ACCESS TO A PRIVATE DRIVE THAT RUNS IN BETWEEN THE TWO ROWS OF BUILDINGS, MUCH LIKE AN ALLEYWAY. THIS AREA HERE IS AMENITY SPACE FOR THOSE DWELLINGS AND IT IS JUST UNDER 14 UNITS PER ACRE.

HERE'S A BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE OF THE SITE PLAN. YOU CAN SEE THIS A LITTLE BIT EASIER HERE WITH THE BREAKDOWN OF SOME OF THOSE UNITS.

THESE ARE TWO THREE STORY SPLIT BUILDINGS. SO THEY ARE MULTI UNIT.

AND THE DEVELOPER DID DISCUSS THAT THESE WOULD BE FOR SALE.

THERE IS A CABANA AREA ON THE AMENITY SPACE THAT REQUIRES A REDUCED SETBACK.

IT IS ABOUT ONE FOOT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. USUALLY IN CITY CENTER WE SEE ABOUT A FIVE FOOT SETBACK.

STAFF IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS REQUEST FOR THE REDUCED SETBACK FOR THE CABANA.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT RIGHT OFF OF WINCHESTER STREET.

YOU WILL SEE SOME CHANGES ALONG THE PUBLIC STREETS TO FACILITATE THIS DEVELOPMENT.

SOME OF THIS EXISTING LANDSCAPING WILL BE REMOVED OR MODIFIED IN ORDER TO MAKE ROOM FOR SOME ON STREET PARKING THAT YOU SAW ON THE PLAN.

THE APPLICANT WILL BE WORKING THROUGH SOME FINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN INITIATIVES AS THEY GO THROUGH THE FINAL PLAN PHASE THROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION.

HERE'S ANOTHER AREA WHERE YOU WILL SEE SOME MODIFICATIONS FOR SIDEWALKS AND PARALLEL PARKING.

ANOTHER THING TO MENTION TOO WITH PARALLEL PARKING, YOU DON'T GENERALLY WANT TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR AND BE RIGHT ON GRASS, SO YOU'LL SEE THAT SIDEWALK CLOSER TO THE CURB IN THOSE LOCATIONS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE GRASS THAT'S GETTING TRAMPLED ON, OR THOSE LOVELY TIMES WHERE PEOPLE PLANT NICE THINGS NEXT TO PARALLEL SPACES, AND THEN YOU STEP OUT OF YOUR CAR AND YOU RUIN THE NICE FLOWERS.

WE WANT TO AVOID THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SENSIBLE WHERE WE HAVE PARKING AND LANDSCAPING AND MAKE SURE THEY DON'T CONFLICT.

HERE'S A LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE LOCATION OF TREES SO YOU CAN SEE THE MAIN AREAS THAT TREES WILL BE PLANTED.

AND I JUST WANT TO NOTE TWO AGAIN, THIS IS STILL A PRELIMINARY PLAN AT THIS PHASE.

YOU CAN SEE LOTS OF OTHER LITTLE LANDSCAPING CIRCLES THROUGHOUT HERE FOR FOUNDATION PLANTINGS.

THOSE ARE FLOWERS, SHRUBS, ANNUALS, PERENNIALS, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

IF WE TOOK THE TIME TO COLOR ALL THOSE IN FOR YOU TO SEE ALL THE GREENERY, IT WOULD TAKE US QUITE A WHILE.

SO BEAR WITH ME WITH JUST SEEING THE TREES HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN ON THIS IMAGE.

I MENTIONED TWO ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE ELEVATIONS NEXT.

[00:25:04]

BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THERE ARE PARKSIDE ARCHITECTURE BUILDINGS IN GREEN, SO THE FRONTS OF THOSE BUILDINGS WILL FACE OUT TOWARDS CENTRAL GREEN IN THAT PARK AREA. AND THE CITY SIDE BUILDINGS ARE HERE ALONG THE BLUE AREA, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT TYPE OF ARCHITECTURE ALONG THE AREA THAT PRIMARILY FACES TOWARD CITY CENTER ALONG PENROSE LANE HERE.

THESE ARE THE CITY SIDE BUILDINGS. SO AGAIN THESE FACE OUT TOWARDS CITY CENTER.

AND THESE ARE THE PARK SIDE BUILDINGS THAT FACE OUT TOWARD CENTRAL GREEN.

AND STAFF IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAN.

I DO WANT TO NOTE THIS ITEM WAS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING AT PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT WE DID HAVE ONE RESIDENT THAT WISHED TO SPEAK.

THE RESIDENT WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT AND THE LANDSCAPING.

AND AT THAT TIME, STAFF ASSURED THE RESIDENT THAT LANDSCAPING IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK ON UNTIL FINAL PLAN STAGE.

AND MUCH LIKE OUR LAST PROJECT IN THE HBD, THIS PROJECT IS ANOTHER ONE THAT IS MOVING RIGHT ALONG AND HAS SUBMITTED A FINAL PLAN.

SO PENDING APPROVAL TONIGHT THAT THIS PROJECT IS IN HOPES TO MOVE FORWARD TO PLANNING COMMISSION RATHER QUICKLY.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU. COURTNEY. STEPHANIE, HOW DIFFERENT IS THIS ONE FROM THE PREVIOUS PLAN THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THIS SPACE? THIS IS EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS APPROVED IN THE PAST.

OKAY. SO MY QUESTION WAS IS IT STILL GOING TO HAVE THE CUT THROUGH BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS.

IS THERE STILL GOING TO BE STAIRS? I KNOW THAT BEFORE THERE WAS LIKE THE ON THE PARK SIDE, THERE WAS LIKE A DROP OFF THERE, LIKE SO THERE WERE STAIRS THAT WOULD GO DOWN.

AND I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT MIGHT BE BEST TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS GRAPHIC I THINK, SHOWS IT BEST SHOWING THE BREAKS BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS.

OKAY. AND THEN I THINK BEFORE THE QUESTION THAT I HAD BEFORE WAS, WAS THERE A SIDEWALK THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THE PARK SIDE BUILDINGS? IT'S NOT SHOWN ON THIS PARTICULAR PLAN. AGAIN, I THINK THE APPLICANT CAN MAYBE DISCUSS THAT DETAIL.

IT COULD JUST BE REALLY LIGHTLY SHOWN OUTSIDE OF THIS PROPERTY LINE HERE.

OKAY. THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS. OKAY. THANK YOU, MARK.

THANK YOU, STEPH. THANK YOU, STEPHANIE. THE GARAGE DOORS.

ARE THOSE BOTH ON THE SAME ALLEYWAY DOWN THE CENTER? THEY FRONT, OR. I COULDN'T TELL FROM THE SITE PLAN IF THERE'S A RING ROAD AROUND THAT.

SO THEY'RE ALL ON THAT CENTER. THEY COME IN OFF THAT CENTER DRIVE.

OKAY. YEP. I JUST COULDN'T TELL. THANK YOU. JOHN.

SO I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH THE AMOUNT OF WORK REMAINING FOR THE FINAL PLAN ON THE LANDSCAPING, ON THE SIGNAGE, ETC. FROM, LIKE, FIRST GLANCE.

HEARING THAT THE FINAL PLAN HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THIS PROJECT, DO YOU FEEL THAT SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS WAS ATTEMPTED ON THOSE FRONTS, OR IS THAT SOMETHING WHERE WE'RE AT RISK OF APPROVING THIS AND THEN COMING UP WITH A FINAL PLAN THAT WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO LIKE, IF THERE ARE ANY ELEMENTS OF THIS PLAN THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE CHANGED OR ADAPTED.

WE'RE HAPPY TO STILL PROVIDE THAT FEEDBACK TO THE APPLICANT.

WE'RE OBVIOUSLY HERE TONIGHT WOULD HEAR THAT THEMSELVES, AND THIS HAS NOT BEEN TO PLANNING COMMISSION YET.

IT IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED TO GO ON THE 3RD OF JUNE.

SO WE ARE COMING UP ON GETTING PACKETS READY FOR THAT, BUT WE STILL ABSOLUTELY HAVE TIME TO SUGGEST CHANGES OR CONDITION CHANGES BETWEEN FINAL PLAN AND BUILDING PERMIT STAGE IF NECESSARY, DEPENDING ON WHAT LEVEL OF CHANGES ARE REQUESTED.

DEFINITELY, YEAH. AND I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SPECIFIC IN MIND. MORE SO JUST THE ATTENTION TO THE IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED FOR LANDSCAPING.

OTHERWISE, I WOULD SAY THE INTENSITY MAKES SENSE TO ME.

RIGHT. IT'S A VERY APPROPRIATE KIND OF GRADATION OF INTENSITY BETWEEN THE EXISTING MULTIFAMILY THAT'S THERE AND THE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING THAT'S TO THE NORTH.

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR MORE OF THIS KIND OF MISSING MIDDLE THAT GIVES FOLKS BROADER OPTIONS.

BILL. YEAH. NOW, STEPHANIE, THIS THIS WILL COME BACK TO US, RIGHT? THE FINAL PLAN. YES. YEAH. SO WE'LL GET WE'LL GET TO SEE IT EVEN AFTER THE PLANNING COMMISSION SEES IT.

OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. CHRIS.

WHAT MIGHT THESE GO FOR MARKET PRICE SALE? THAT'S A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.

CAN WE ASK THEM? IS THE APPLICANT HERE TONIGHT? HELLO?

[00:30:06]

HI, THERE. HELLO, COUNCIL. MY NAME IS CHRIS GILLAM.

I'M WITH JONES GILLAM RENZ ARCHITECTS. OUR OFFICE IS LOCATED AT 1881 MAIN STREET IN KANSAS CITY.

I HAVE WITH ME HERE DOUG, WHO'S OUR CIVIL ENGINEER, AND GARY, WHO IS WITH PROPER CONSTRUCTION.

HE'S ALSO WITH THE OWNERSHIP GROUP REPRESENTING.

SO HE COULD PROBABLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THE BEST ABOUT THE COSTS. I CAN ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTION YOU HAVE ABOUT THE DESIGN, THE BUILDINGS ACCESS, ANY OF THAT KIND OF STUFF. LET'S START WITH COURTNEY'S. WHAT WERE YOUR QUESTIONS AGAIN, PLEASE? OKAY, SO MY FIRST QUESTIONS WERE ON THE PARK SIDE THERE.

IS THERE A SIDEWALK THAT CONNECTS, LIKE IN FRONT OF ALL THESE TOWNHOUSES? ON THE DOUG PHELPS, ENGINEER, ON THE PARK SIDE THERE'S A SIDEWALK ON THE ALLEY SIDE AGAINST THE DRIVEWAY THAT RUNS ALONG THE ALLEY THAT CONNECTS THE FRONT.

I'M GOING TO CALL THE GARAGE SIDE UP TO CARDINAL STREET ON THE WEST AND ELM RIDGE ON THE EAST.

AND THEN ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE PARK SIDE, THERE'S THE PARK, AND THERE'S THE EXISTING SIDEWALK ALONG THE PARK THERE.

ALONG THE FIRST AS YOU START FROM THE EAST AND WORK WEST, THE FIRST THREE BUILDINGS THERE, THERE'S THE EXISTING SIDEWALK THAT RUNS THERE.

OKAY. AND THERE'LL BE PATIO STONES THAT GO FROM THE BACK OF THE PATIOS DOWN TO THAT SIDEWALK.

AND THEN THE OTHER TWO BUILDINGS, AS YOU CONTINUE WEST, WILL HAVE PATIOS OFF THEM, BUT THEY WON'T CONNECT TO THAT SIDEWALK.

I'M SORRY. HERE. YEAH. THERE WE GO. SO THIS IS THE EXISTING SIDEWALK IN THE CENTRAL GREEN THAT RUNS ALONG THE CREEK.

AND THEN WE DO HAVE A COUPLE CONNECTIONS UP AND THROUGH OUR DEVELOPMENT. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE TWO THAT DOUG WAS TALKING ABOUT ON THIS SIDE DO NOT FRONT THAT SIDEWALK.

THEY WILL STILL HAVE BACK PATIOS, BUT THERE WON'T BE ANY CONNECTION FOR THEM AS THERE'S A I THINK THIS WAS A STORMWATER.

THERE'S DETENTION BASIN BACK THERE. GOT IT. SO THE ONLY SET OF STAIRS WOULD BE THE ONE IN THE MAIN CUT THROUGH THERE? YES. THERE'S A SET OF STAIRS. THIS ONE THAT GOES THROUGH.

YEAH, THERE'S A SET OF STAIRS THERE AND A SET OF STAIRS ON THAT SIDEWALK AS WELL. THERE'S JUST A LOT OF GRAY DROP ACROSS THE.

RIGHT. SECTION. I REMEMBER MY OTHER QUESTION WAS THE PRIVATE DRIVE IS THIS, LIKE A TWO WAY PRIVATE DRIVE? IS IT? IT IS A TWO WAY PRIVATE DRIVE. IT'S 20FT WIDE.

OTHER THAN IN A COUPLE SPOTS, IT WIDENS OUT TO 27FT FOR A COUPLE REASONS.

IT ALLOWS PASSING WHEN NEEDED. AND IT ALSO IS THERE FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO LET THE ROUTE RIGGERS OUT.

IF THEY WOULD NEED TO STOP IN THERE AND FIGHT A FIRE.

AND HOW MANY CARS CAN FIT IN THESE DRIVEWAYS? TWO CARS. SO THEY'RE EACH TWO CARS WIDE AND DEEP.

SO EACH UNIT CAN HAVE FOUR CARS PARKED BECAUSE IT'S A TWO CAR GARAGE.

AND THE DRIVEWAY ALLOWS FOR TWO CARS. SO EACH UNIT CAN HAVE FOUR CARS PER UNIT.

OKAY. SO THE PARKING WAS A CONCERN WITH THE DENSITY WITH THE PRIVATE DRIVE LAST TIME.

SO I JUST WANTED TO VERIFY THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH SPACE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN MARKET PRICE FOR THE UNITS.

I GUESS I'LL ANSWER THAT. YES. MY NAME IS GARY GOSSETT.

I'M VICE PRESIDENT, PROPER CONSTRUCTION. WE'RE THE DEVELOPER OF THE PROJECT.

VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AREA DOING THIS PROJECT.

I'M NOT PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT THE COSTS AT THIS MOMENT.

WE DECIDED TO MAKE THEM FOR SALE BECAUSE IT MAKES A BETTER QUALITY PRODUCT FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THIS AREA.

SO I CAN GO BACK WITH PRICING ON WHAT WE THINK ARE GOING TO GO FOR BUT A LITTLE EARLY.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NOT REALLY DISCUSSED THE COST, BUT WE'LL SELL YOU ONE AT A GOOD NUMBER THOUGH.

BUT WE DON'T I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER AT THIS AT THE LUMBER FIRST.

CHELSEA. ANY IDEA AT LEAST ON A RANGE OF THE PRICE.

I KNOW WE TALKED. YEAH. I'M NOT. I'M NOT SURE TIM WOULD PROBABLY BE THE OWNER WANT TO BE ON THAT? I KNOW THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY IN THE, YOU KNOW, 500 TO 1 MILLION RANGE.

I WOULD GUESS IF THAT WAS MY OPINION. THANK YOU.

AND THESE ARE. YEAH. SO THESE WILL BE THREE STORIES.

AND WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW. I THINK 3600 TO 4000FT² EACH.

SO THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD SIZE. GOOD SIZE. YEAH.

OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. WITH THAT, TAKE A.

OH, WHERE AM I ON HERE? OH, I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REVISED PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR LENEXA CITY CENTER NORTH VILLAGE TOWNHOMES, LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF WINCHESTER AND PENROSE.

MOTION BY JOHN, SECOND BY MARK. ALL IN FAVOR? THOSE OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU.

ITEM NUMBER 13 IS AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A REZONING FOR PROPERTY KNOWN AS WHITE OAK ESTATES.

[13. Ordinance approving a rezoning for property known as White Oak Estates, Second Plat for the construction of a single-family residence located near the northeast corner of 79th Street & Cottonwood Street]

SECOND PLAT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 79TH STREET AND COTTONWOOD STREET.

[00:35:07]

STEPHANIE. THANK YOU AGAIN. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

STEPHANIE SULLIVAN, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. AND THIS ONE THIS EVENING IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR WHAT IS KNOWN AS WHITE OAK ESTATES SECOND PLAT.

THIS IS NEAR 79TH AND COTTONWOOD STREET OVER BY OUR MUNICIPAL SERVICES FACILITY.

YOU CAN SEE THE PROJECT LOCATION WITHIN THE CITY OF LENEXA ON THIS MAP.

AND ZOOMING IN A BIT, HERE'S AN AERIAL IMAGE OF THE SITE.

IT'S ACTUALLY CURRENTLY MADE UP OF TWO PARCELS THAT THE APPLICANT OWNS CURRENTLY.

AND THEN WE ALSO INCLUDED TWO ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

THERE'S SOME HISTORY BEHIND THIS, AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ACTUALLY TO HAVE THIS APPLICATION BECAUSE IT CLEANS UP SOME ILLEGAL LOT SPLITTING HERE AND ALSO MAKES FOR A CLEAN REZONING AND A GOOD DEVELOPABLE PIECE HERE.

SO THE HISTORY PART IS THAT THIS LOT HERE, THIS LARGER ONE, WHICH YOU'VE PROBABLY DRIVEN BY MANY TIMES IF YOU'VE BEEN PAST 79TH STREET HERE, IT WAS ILLEGALLY SPLIT FROM THESE TWO LOTS ORIGINALLY WITHIN THIS WHITE OAK ESTATE SUBDIVISION AND HAS NOT REALLY HAD MUCH TRACTION OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE THE CITY WON'T ALLOW ACCESS OFF OF 79TH STREET. SO THE APPLICANT WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THIS SMALL PARCEL OVER OFF COTTONWOOD STREET IN ORDER TO BASICALLY PUT A DRIVEWAY AND GET ACCESS TO THE SITE TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

ALTOGETHER, THIS SITE IS JUST UNDER TWO ACRES AND INCLUDES FOUR PARCELS.

CURRENTLY, WHEN IT'S REPLATED IT WILL BE THREE LOTS.

THIS ONE WILL BE PROPERLY PLATTED INTO ITS CURRENT CONFIGURATION AS WILL THIS ONE, AND THEN THERE'LL BE A THIRD LOT THAT JUST INCLUDES THIS SORT OF IRREGULAR SHAPE WITH THE DRIVEWAY. AND I'LL SHOW YOU A COLORIZED DIAGRAM OF THAT LATER IN THIS PRESENTATION.

AS ALWAYS, WE HAVE OUR ZONING AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP ON THE SLIDES.

THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE PROPERTY IS R1 FOR THAT SMALL SLIVER.

THAT WILL BE THE PROPOSED DRIVEWAY AND RP1 FOR THE LARGER PARCELS.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANS FUTURE LAND USE MAP SHOWS SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, AND THOSE ARE CONSISTENT WITH EACH OTHER, AS WELL AS THE PROPOSED USE OF A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE FOR REZONING.

WE HAVE 13 CRITERIA, AND THE ONE THAT I REALLY WANT TO FOCUS ON HERE IS THE SUITABILITY FOR THE USE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, AND YOU SAW ON A PREVIOUS SLIDE THE CURRENT ZONING BEING R1 AND RP ONE, AND THE PROPOSED ZONING IS THAT THIS LITTLE SLIVER WOULD CHANGE TO RP ONE TO MATCH THE RP ONE ON THE LARGER PARCEL.

WHEN WE COMBINE THESE TWO PARCELS INTO A SINGLE DEVELOPABLE LOT, WE REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO END UP WITH TWO DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICTS ON ONE PARCEL.

SO THIS REZONING IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE CLEANUP TYPE ENDEAVORS.

AND THE R1 AND RP ONE ARE SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR WITH ANY CODE REQUIREMENTS.

SO THERE'S REALLY NOT A HUGE DIFFERENCE CODE WISE ON WHAT WOULD BE RESTRICTED OR ALLOWED IN RP ONE VERSUS R1, AND IN THIS CASE THE PLAT WILL SERVE AS THE PLAN FOR THIS REZONING.

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU TYPICALLY SEE A PLAN THAT COMES ALONG WITH REZONING REQUEST.

SO WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS SUITABLE TO REZONE THIS FOR A RESIDENTIAL USE AND HAVE CONSISTENT ZONING THROUGHOUT A SINGLE PARCEL.

SO NOW THE EXCITING PART SEEING THE SITE PLAN OF WHAT THIS IS ALL GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

SO HERE IS THAT PROPOSED DRIVEWAY THROUGH THAT SMALLER PARCEL THAT WOULD BE REZONED TO RP ONE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE PROPOSED 40 100 SQUARE FOOT HOME HERE IN GRAY AND THE PARCEL BOUNDARY DRAWN HERE.

THERE IS AN EXISTING EASEMENT THAT BISECTS THIS AREA OF THE PARCEL, AND IT RUNS CONSISTENTLY THROUGH THE PROPERTY LINE ON THESE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL SITES.

AS PROMISED, HERE IS THAT LOT LAYOUT THAT YOU WOULD SEE.

SO IT ENDS UP BEING THESE THREE LOTS. THE APPLICANT WOULD BE DEVELOPING THEIR HOME ON THE BLUE LOT AND EVERYTHING REMAINS THE SAME ON THE GREEN AND THE PURPLE LOT.

I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT WHEN DOING THIS, REPLATING STAFF DID CHECK TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT CREATING ANY NON-CONFORMITIES ON THE GREEN OR PURPLE LOTS ON HERE. SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT WOULD BE A CODE ISSUE WITH SETBACKS OR OPEN SPACE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THERE IS THE NEED FOR A DEVIATION FOR REDUCED LOT WIDTH HERE, AND THAT WAS PROPOSED AS PART OF THE PLAT.

AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERED THAT AND FELT THAT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO ALLOW THAT DEVIATION.

THIS IS AN EXISTING PARCEL. SO THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN REALLY MAKE IT WIDER WITHOUT THE APPLICANT ACQUIRING ADDITIONAL PROPERTY.

AND THERE ARE EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS ON THOSE ADJACENT SITES.

THIS IS A RESIDENCE AND THIS IS A RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION, I BELIEVE.

[00:40:05]

WE DID ALSO DESIGNATE YARDS, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WITH AN IRREGULAR PARCEL, IT'S IMPORTANT TO DECIDE WHAT'S THE FRONT, WHAT'S THE BACK AND WHAT'S THE SIDES, BECAUSE WE WILL INEVITABLY GET REQUESTS FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND POOLS AND FENCES AND ALL THOSE FUN THINGS THAT I KNOW YOU ALL LOVE TO SEE. SO IN THIS CASE, THE FRONT YARD IS REALLY JUST WHAT'S OFF OF COTTONWOOD STREET HERE.

THE SIDE IS EVERYTHING YOU SEE WITH THE GREEN BORDER, AND THEN THE REAR YARD ADJOINS THOSE ADJACENT REAR YARDS IN THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL AREA.

WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT, THERE IS A CODE REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE SOME LANDSCAPING.

SO YOU WILL SEE THIS AREA. HERE IS AN AREA THAT THE APPLICANT WILL BE PROVIDING SOME ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING.

SO IN ADDITION TO BEAUTIFYING THEIR OWN PROPERTY, THEY'LL BE BEAUTIFYING THIS STRETCH OF 79TH STREET PER LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT. AND WITH THAT, STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THIS REZONING, WHICH WOULD REZONE THAT SMALL PARCEL FROM R1 TO RP1 AND FACILITATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE.

I DO ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THERE WAS ONE COUPLE THAT SPOKE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY THE ADJACENT RESIDENTS TO THE NORTH.

I'LL PULL THIS UP HERE. THIS PROPERTY HERE. AND THEY VOICED CONCERN ABOUT ACCESS TO THEIR POOL BECAUSE OVER THE YEARS, THEY'VE ACTUALLY USED THIS AREA TO ACCESS THEIR POOL TO DO SOME MAINTENANCE.

SO STAFF INSTRUCTED THEM THAT THAT IS A CIVIL MATTER TO HANDLE BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND THE NEW PROPERTY OWNERS.

AND, AND THAT WASN'T REALLY A CONCERN FOR THE SAKE OF THE REZONING APPLICATION.

AND WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT AND MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE. JOHN. SORRY FOR DETERMINING WHICH AREA WAS FRONT VERSUS SIDE VERSUS BACKYARD. WHAT WERE THE CRITERIA THAT YOU ALL KIND OF LANDED ON? I THINK IT WAS JUST SOME GENERAL LOGIC OF THE ORIENTATION OF THE HOME AND THE ACCESS POINTS, AND THEN THE EXISTING CONTEXT. SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S SOME THOUGHT GIVEN TO HOW THE REAR YARDS WOULD INTERACT.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THIS DIAGRAM HERE, THE ORIENTATION OF THE HOME, YOU KNOW, THE DRIVEWAY AREA, I'M PRESUMING THIS BOX IS THE GARAGE AND JUST HOW IT'S GOING TO SORT OF TAKE ACCESS OFF OF HERE.

THAT SEEMED TO BE THE MOST LOGICAL PLACE TO PUT THE FRONT.

THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. BILL. STEPHANIE, COULD YOU GO BACK OR GO FORWARD? ONE SLIDE WITH THE GREEN. THE GREEN ALONG 79TH.

KEEP GOING. YEAH. WHAT IS THAT REQUIRED? LANDSCAPING.

AND HOW WIDE IS THAT, PLEASE? OH, GOSH, YOU'RE QUIZZING ME.

LET ME SEE. LET ME REFERENCE OUR STAFF REPORT QUICKLY FOR THAT INFORMATION.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE PUT THE WIDTH OF THAT IN OUR STAFF REPORT, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT INFORMATION AND GET BACK TO YOU.

OKAY. AND SO CAN SO THAT'S JUST TREES AND BUSHES.

YEAH. AND THEN GO TO THE SLIDE, PLEASE, OF THE, YOUR DESIGNATION OF SIDE YARD AND BACKYARD.

TELL ME ABOUT FENCES. YES, PLEASE. YES. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW? WHAT KIND OF FENCE CAN I PUT THERE ALONG 79TH.

AND THAT'S ALLOWED BY CODE. PARDON ME? ANY KIND OF OFFENSE ALLOWED BY CODE.

SO YOU COULD HAVE ANYTHING FROM 4 TO 6FT TALL.

OPEN STYLE, PRIVACY STYLE, WOOD, BLACK ALUMINUM.

THERE'S NOT, LIKE, A SPECIFIC STANDARD SET FOR THIS PROPERTY.

SO WE CAN PUT A FENCE THERE. YES. AND WOULD IT BE IN THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER OR BEHIND IT? THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN LOOK INTO. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT PARTICULAR ITEM WAS DISCUSSED.

THERE WOULD BE THERE WAS A DISTANCE THAT THE FENCE HAD TO BE FROM THE.

[INAUDIBLE] I BELIEVE. SO THERE'S A 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE EASEMENT PLATTING GETTING PLATTED WITH THIS APPLICATION.

AND I BELIEVE THE CODE REQUIRES THAT FENCE, ANY FENCE TO BE AT LEAST IN BACK OF THAT LANDSCAPE EASEMENT.

BUT WE'LL DO MORE, MORE WORK ON IT WHEN WE SEE A FENCE APPLICATION.

YEAH. SCOTT'S CORRECT. I WILL NOTE IN OUR FENCE CODE, THERE IS THE ALLOWANCE FOR FENCES IN A LANDSCAPE EASEMENT.

[00:45:07]

IN SOME CASES, IT'S SOMETHING WE LOOK AT DEPENDING ON THE CONTEXT.

IF THERE'S ALREADY AN EXISTING FENCE, ONE HOUSE OVER IN LANDSCAPE EASEMENT, YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK AT.

BUT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN DISCUSSIONS THAT I MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A PART OF DURING MY PARENTAL LEAVE, SO I APOLOGIZE. MAYOR. YES, ON PACKET PAGE 140, THERE IS A DRAWING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN GET TO THAT IN YOUR PACKET, BUT THAT SHOWS WHERE THE FENCE IS PROPOSED.

AND IT IS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LANDSCAPE EASEMENT.

AND IT SAYS ON THE DRAWING THAT IT IS A SIX FOOT WOOD FENCE AND IT I CAN JUST KIND OF SHOW YOU IT KIND OF RUNS FROM HERE.

SO IT'S NOT IT'S NOT THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF 79TH THAT RUNS FROM LIKE THAT CORNER OF THE HOUSE, THEN AROUND LIKE THIS. YEAH. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WOOD FENCE BEHIND LANDSCAPE EASEMENT, LIKE ALONG PRAIRIE STAR.

AND IT LOOKS REALLY NICE. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'VE ALL DRIVEN 79 FOR YEARS WIDE OPEN.

AND I WOULD EXPECT THAT THIS WOULD LOOK REALLY NICE BEHIND THE BEHIND THE LANDSCAPE EASEMENT.

SO GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU BECKY. OTHER QUESTIONS.

DO WE HAVE THE APPLICANT WITH US? HI. COME ON UP.

GOOD EVENING I'M JOHN GRIPKA 8205 CAENEN LAKE ROAD.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH MORE TO ADD. I DO JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, ENSURE THAT WE ARE GOING TO PROPOSE HAVING THAT SIX FOOT FENCE THAT'S GOING TO START AT ROUGHLY THIS CORNER. IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE EDGE OF THAT EASEMENT, THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER, THAT 15 FOOTER. IT'S GOING TO BE, AS NOTED, A SIX FOOT WOOD FENCE.

AND THEN I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE, I THINK, THREE SHADE TREES AND ONE DECIDUOUS TREE EVERY 100FT.

AND THEN I BELIEVE IT'S TEN SHRUBS PER 100FT.

AND WE PLAN TO ADHERE TO THAT. AND ANY PLANS FOR THIS OTHER PORTION OF THE LAND, ARE YOU GOING TO PUT IN A POOL OR WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? WE ARE PLANNING TO PUT A POOL? WE'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY LOCATE THAT.

THIS IS ASSUMING THAT THIS PENCILS OUT IN OUR FUTURE, OF COURSE.

BUT WE ARE PLANNING ON PUTTING THAT ON THE NORTH SIDE, BUT WE ARE HOPING TO FILL THIS WITH TREES AND MAKE THIS JUST A REALLY NICE WOODED AREA.

OKAY. A VERY LARGE BACKYARD. GREAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? CHRIS? PROBABLY FOR STEPHANIE. THE LANDSCAPING THAT'S ON THE STREET SIDE OF THE FENCE.

IS THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY? MAKE SURE THE TREES DON'T DIE.

THEY'RE WELL TAKEN CARE OF. OR BECAUSE IT'S ON THAT SIDE OF THE FENCE.

IT'S OUR PROBLEM. IT WILL STILL BE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, SO IT WILL BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.

OKAY. IF NOTHING ELSE, I'LL ENTERTAIN THE MOTION TO PASS THE ORDINANCE APPROVING THE REZONING FOR THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS WHITE OAK ESTATES.

SECOND PLAT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE.

MOTION BY CHELSEA. SECOND BY. WAS THAT COURTNEY? ALL IN FAVOR? OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES. CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER 14 IS A CONSIDERATION FOR REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAN KNOWN AS VANTAGE LENEXA MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
