The board approved the plan with a condition increasing required trees along the west side of the building from the applicant’s proposed two trees to six trees for screening.

City planning staff presented the site plan and explained that the proposed landscaping, as drawn, would have required a waiver of the screening requirement because only two trees were shown on the west side; the board discussed options including adding fencing or additional landscaping. Board members and staff reviewed screening requirements that apply when commercial or industrial zoning abuts residential uses. One board member emphasized the requirement applies because of \"commercial next to residential\"; another board member clarified the consistency concern when zoning types differ.

The applicant, Rodney Bruntz, addressed the board and answered questions about site layout. After discussion, Board Member Dalton Wilson moved to approve SP 20 25 0 3 \"with the condition that there would be 6 trees along the west side of the building instead of the proposed 2.\" The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The board’s condition is intended to improve screening where dissimilar zoning exists between the proposed commercial use and nearby residential parcels. Staff will incorporate the modified tree count into final plan checks and permit review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning & Zoning Board Regular Meeting - February 25th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning and Zoning Board approved SP 20 25 0 3, a site plan for a 4,050-square-foot commercial building at 595 West Clay submitted by Rodney Bruntz, requiring six trees along the west side for screening instead of the two originally proposed.","taxTitle","Valley Center, Sedgwick County, Kansas","taxId",61696,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6662830,"Valley Center board approves landscaping plan for new elementary school at 1500 East Tanner Trail",207,767000,974000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2392261-0ab0ab41330d64db15c18da870b1bad5&start=767&end=974","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2392261-0ab0ab41330d64db15c18da870b1bad5/thumbnail_767000.jpg","/articles/6662830/Valley-Center/Sedgwick-County/Kansas/Valley-Center-board-approves-landscaping-plan-for-new-elementary-school-at-1500-East-Tanner-Trail","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6662830-fbaa99cfcc054ae90c37d50237a4f6fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1776148239&Signature=WLeaiai5EWvsv-o7mtc2zzE-oGOn4sULe8i3NCHX1ULzn5A7PPKDzdNMj5TMYbJqhKW0EdYyHIa6UOVQpLqai7kDvBn1Ky1u2ZEDwryFEkdpUCTbImUKIVB1LqunQ-dmr4o0ZFW9-k2ADsmtkBtCml360qRwZTo7Msj0qMLDXJyWuQHHNte1mPrnfeXBrBf-ZNhHLnl3A5BvhInREWBu4~aGbmH86pUmV9-0uCQ~lIlpKsjZHpOp9VnAQ-nemf4Ogl6dvCczoUv~WFky49HGDM74-rUL5XzSbW2RB1A1CW3yk5XNAkXO5Faj8XSES-te~9-MdYDEDJMAqAmvN5Bd2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Valley Center Planning and Zoning Board on Feb. 25 approved SP 20 25 0 2, a landscaping plan submitted by Bob and Company for a new elementary school at 1500 East Tanner Trail at the northwest intersection of Seneca and Tanner Trail in Valley Center.

City planning staff reviewed the landscaping plan and concluded it meets the city’s zoning code requirements for screening. During the public hearing, a board member asked whether the plan’s use of fescue is appropriate for a drought-tolerant planting scheme; the board member said fescue typically is \"not typically drought tolerant and takes more water than just about any other grass.\" Staff and other board members observed that the plan may include blends of grass types and that the landscape architect was not present to provide technical detail.

No members of the public spoke at the hearing on this item. After staff confirmed the plan met screening requirements, a board member moved to approve SP 20 25 0 2 \"based on city staff recommendations, public comments, and discussion by the planning and zoning board.\" The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The approval means the submitted landscaping plan may be implemented as presented, subject to any administrative follow-up by city staff and final construction and permitting requirements. The board’s questions about turf selection were noted on the record for follow-up with the landscape architect if additional clarification is needed.","The Planning and Zoning Board approved SP 20 25 0 2, a landscaping plan submitted by Bob and Company for a new elementary school at 1500 East Tanner Trail in Valley Center, with staff finding the plan meets zoning screening requirements.

Board members heard city staff update that all nine lots in the proposed plat lie in Sedgwick County rather than inside city limits but remain within the city’s area of influence. City planning staff said the board’s review was still required because the parcels fall inside that area of influence. Staff also highlighted the need to provide easements \"on the back of those Northwells,\" a matter the board noted as one of the principal outstanding details.

No members of the public spoke in opposition during the hearing. After the public comment period closed, a board member moved to approve the preliminary plat “based on city staff recommendations, public comments, and discussion by the planning and zoning board,” the motion was seconded, and the board approved the application by voice vote with no opposing votes recorded.

The approval keeps the plat moving forward under the conditions discussed in the hearing record, including provision of the easements identified by staff. The board did not record a roll-call vote or enumerate conditions beyond those noted in staff recommendations during the meeting.

The board’s action resolves an item that had been tabled at the Jan. 28 meeting and returns the matter to the review process between city staff, the applicant, and Sedgwick County for any county-level approvals that may be required.","The Valley Center Planning and Zoning Board voted to approve SD 20 25 0 1, a preliminary plat application from KWH Investments LLC for nine lots located southeast of Interurban Drive and West 90 Third Street in Sedgwick County, after staff recommendations and no public opposition.","actionData","errors"]
