Item Description:
title
Consideration of Ordinance No. 20-01 (VAC19-0005), requesting vacation of an existing waterline easement at Olathe Medical Center; located at 20333 W 151st Street. Planning Commission recommends approval 8-0.
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
This is a request to vacate an existing, 15-foot-wide waterline easement at 20333 W 151st Street. The Olathe Medical Center is constructing a pharmacy addition on the property which will be built over the existing waterline.
The proposed easements for vacation are located within the interior of the site and over 200 feet away from any property lines; therefore, a public notice letter was not required in this case.
The site is located within the City of Olathe water and sewer service area, and the vacation has no effect on public or private utilities for the surrounding properties. The Public Works Department has reviewed the vacation request and recommends approval as proposed.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 9, 2019. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the vacation of the existing waterline easement with a vote of 8-0 as reflected in the minutes. No individuals spoke in opposition of the vacation request at the public hearing.
