Title
VAC2014-00022 - Request to vacate the plattor's text to amend the uses permitted in a platted reserve on property generally located on the north side of Central Avenue and east of 127th Street East. (County District 1)
Body
Recommended Action: Follow the recommendation of the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission, approve the Vacation Order and authorize the necessary signatures.
The applicant is requesting that the plattor's text be vacated to amend the uses allowed in the east-west 15-foot wide platted Reserve D, Crestview Country Club Estates Southern Village Addition. The applicant wants to construct a wall that will buffer the subdivision's homes from the vehicular traffic on Central Avenue. Currently the plattor's text states that Reserve D is to be used for open space, a buffer zone and utility and drainage construction and maintenance. These uses will be retained as there is both public water and stormwater equipment in Reserve D. The applicant has provided a dedication of a wall easement for recording with the Vacation Order at the Register of Deeds of Sedgwick County. The Crestview Country Club Estates Southern Village Addition was recorded with the Register of Deeds August 28, 1972.
Analysis: The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (MAPC) voted (12-0) to approve the vacation request. No one spoke in opposition to this request at the MAPC's advertised public hearing or its Subdivision Committee meeting. Because the site is located in Sedgwick County, but within the City of Wichita's three-mile ring subdivision jurisdiction, consideration and recommendation by the Wichita City Council, and consideration and final action by the Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners is required. The Wichita City Council will consider this item at their September 16, 2014, meeting as a consent item.
Alternatives: Not applicable.
Financial Considerations: Approved by Division of Finance; complies with Kansas Budget Law and Cash Basis Law...
