Summary:
In accordance with K.S.A. 12-520(a)(7), Susan L. Wolfert Trust (“Petitioner”) submitted a petition to annex approximately 70.99 acres of land located north of W. 175th Street and on both sides of U.S. 169 Highway (Exhibit A). The property lies contiguous with the corporate boundaries of the City of Olathe and is within the City of Olathe’s Growth Area. Annexation of this property will eliminate an enclave of unincorporated land that adjoins the city boundary on three sides.
The petitioner is pursuing annexation and future industrial development of this property, and annexation is required prior to zoning and development. This property is designated as Industrial on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
The existing telecommunications (cell tower) facility and billboard located on this property may remain and continue as permitted by the Unified Development Ordinance.

Future development of the property will result in an increase in the City’s real property tax collections.
