Summary:
This is a request for approval of a final plat for Olathe Facilities Expansion on 70.51± acres, located in the vicinity of Old US-56 Highway and Robinson Street. The site is being platted for a proposed rezoning and preliminary site development plan for Olathe Facilities Expansion. The related application for rezoning to the M-2 District (RZ19-0007) consists of a Park Maintenance Building and future uses for Public Works and training areas for the Fire and Police Departments.
The final plat includes 1 lot which meets the area and setback requirements for M-2 Districts. No tracts are being dedicated with this plat, however, the limits of the flood zone on the property is being shown and a tree preservation easement along Old US-56 is being dedicated to preserve existing trees along the highway and within the stream corridor.
The property is located in the City of Olathe water and sewer service areas. As much of the site is conceptual, utility and stormwater easements will be dedicated by separate instrument once it is known how the site will develop. The subject site will have one access drive onto Old US-56 Highway. The access point will connect to an internal driveway and will not be a public street. Additional right-of-way is being dedicated along Old US-56 Highway to meet Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requirements.
On June 24, 2019, the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to approve the final plat for Olathe Facilities Expansion with stipulations as shown in the meeting minutes, and recommended approval of the dedication of land for public purposes.
