The Project will acquire two tracts of land (Tracts 5A and Tract 6 on the attached map) and an existing house that is being used for a commercial office, and the demolition of the existing house and the industrial building on Tract 4 (Goodman Distribution).
Fee simple title needs to be acquired on 3 tracts of land for the project.
On May 5, 2020 the City Council approved Resolution No. 20-1033 which authorized an engineering survey of land needed for the project.
This ordinance is the second step of the eminent domain process. The ordinance approves the survey and authorizes the filing of a petition for eminent domain in the Johnson County, Kansas District Court (Attachment B).
To keep the project on schedule, land acquisition needs to be completed by July 1, 2020 to allow the project to stay on schedule. Staff is continuing to negotiate with the property owners to try to reach agreements to acquire the property before using the eminent domain process.
