Title
VAC2015-00005 - 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 the vacation of the plattor's text to amend the uses allowed in platted Reserves A and B, Crest Ridge Second Addition. The Reserves run parallel to the west, back yards of Lots 1-4 and Lots 28-31, Block 1, all in the Crest Ridge Second Addition and which runs parallel to the west side of 127th Street East. Per the plattor's text Reserves A and B are for the construction and maintenance of pipeline, drainage, landscaping and open space. The vacation request will allow the construction of a wall, fences, monuments, irrigation and utilities confined to easements, while retaining those uses as described in the plattor's text. Per the plattor's text the reserves are owned by the Home Owners Association (HOA), specifically the Crest Ridge HOA; this will not change. The Crest Ridge Second Addition was recorded June 6, 1995.
Analysis: The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (MAPC) voted (8-0) 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 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 15, 2015, meeting as a consent item.
Alternatives: Not applicable.
Financial Considerations: Approved by Division of Finance; complies with Kansas Budget Law...
