VAC2018-00011 - Vacation of a portion of Platted Access Controls and Minimum Pad Elevation to allow a wider opening to the home site on property Zoned RR Rural Residential, generally located on the south side of West 47th Street South and Approximately 2,000 feet east of South 167th Street West (District 3).
Body
Recommended Action: Adopt the findings of the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (MAPC) and approve the vacation order.
Background: The applicant has requested the vacation of platted access controls as well as platted pad elevation on property platted in the G Leonard Addition, located within unincorporated Sedgwick County. The proposal would widen the platted access controls from 50 feet to 100 feet, as well as set the minimum pad elevation at 1368.4.
The applicant has stated that the reason for this request is that the minimum pad elevation was intended to be changed previously when the applicant vacated the platted floodway reserve; the change in elevation is related to that. There is a utility pole along the street right of way that impacts the opening onto the street, which is the reason for the vacation of the additional 50 feet of access control.
The G. Leonard Addition was recorded 9 April 2013.
