\"This lot will gain being taken out of the flood zone,\" Zoning Administrator Mae Smith said while presenting the proposal for parcels described in the record as 1080 and 1092 on 5th/30th Avenue. Smith told the commission that Lot 4 already has a permitted wastewater system and about 1.2 usable acres, and that planning and zoning would grant a site-based waiver for Lot 3 if the county sanitarian approves an engineered design and percolation test because Lot 3 does not meet the typical two-acre minimum in county regulations.

Planning and zoning recommended the following conditions before a building permit would be issued: a percolation (perk) test for Lots 2 and 3; an engineered septic design submitted to the zoning office and reviewed by the county sanitarian; and covenants recorded with the subdivision that disclose those requirements to future buyers. \"If that point approved, I can issue a [building] permit for these two months,\" Smith said, describing the review process and contingency language placed in the planning record.

Applicant Jeremy Feiler, who identified himself as a managing partner of the Base Camp Pitt LLC ownership group, described outreach to neighboring property owners and said the owners have put rules in place for any short-term rental operation on the property. \"You're gonna get two forms right in your face and then we've also we're working on a placard for the house. So you're gonna have three forms of ... no trespassing,\" Feiler said, describing check-in instructions and signage intended to prevent trespass on adjacent water features that neighbors own.

Feiler told the commission he and his partners had invested in cleanup and road and drainage work and had improved driveways to county standards; he said they had spent substantial money on property improvements and sought to sell one or more lots while maintaining high standards for access and septic design.

During the meeting a commissioner moved to accept resolution 2025-014 regarding the subdivision; the motion appears in the transcript, but the provided excerpt does not show a recorded second or final vote on that motion. Planning-and-zoning conditions described in the record will be required for future permits: percolation testing and an engineered septic design reviewed by the county sanitarian were specifically cited by staff as prerequisites.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Crawford County Live Meeting 04-11-2025 ","oneSentenceSummary","Crawford County planning staff recommended percolation testing and engineered septic systems for a four-lot subdivision proposed by Base Camp Pitt LLC and asked that those conditions be recorded in covenants.","taxTitle","Crawford County, Kansas","taxId",55170,"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},6075075,"Road & Bridge opens bids for HDPE highway pipe; three bids received, staff to review",313,591000,904000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2980145-cbbe622f1b35fbcdab21645e8bde0fdc&start=591&end=904","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2980145-cbbe622f1b35fbcdab21645e8bde0fdc/thumbnail_591000.jpg","/articles/6075075/Crawford-County/Kansas/Road-Bridge-opens-bids-for-HDPE-highway-pipe-three-bids-received-staff-to-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6075075-662a2617f3c0f3d05906d9ed0b3398e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771056269&Signature=hGiijp77zCJltnw~yA1RtP0QJccgXg9efKMzy9-ptQZ9cltFAqpB0Zcloi-tx3KyGkxiYpHwzDekgozagB~0mG-vj8tkUXRO94BefmEZ6aU8oYBoXaFjI0peShdahBQw-1e1NptXUP~-7eu474la5tUw6PIgZuUW1RgHqIsNY30lxFn1MQ3~5ZXT4isdlja8e9mYL19fSejUuJIgd9VgfJnhpYZpIOqo6YUSV9--Op2QyuYyqTsEBIg5~EX9X~QwwQyk36BqaDD7kS3P77CO2Oc-XSzeimgOEZNIvYNKDaMNmyZr8vZfPxzFklt2wXUpPe5zmWpQXMlFd-t7QAkQOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Crawford County Commission opened three vendor bids for HDPE (high-density polyethylene) highway pipe and directed staff to review the proposals and return with a recommendation.

Alyssa Edwards of the Road & Bridge department read prices submitted by the three vendors. Wellborn Sales offered an 8-inch, 20-foot HDPE dual-wall pipe at $5.65 per foot and a 10-inch at $8.46 per foot; Wellborn listed a minimum initial order of $7,500. Cleaver did not quote 8-inch or 10-inch sizes in the submitted sheet; its 12-inch price was listed at $9.55 per foot and a $4,000 minimum order. Bose 1 Stop listed an 8-inch at $5.60 per foot, a 10-inch at $8.38, 12-inch at $8.81 per foot, and stated it keeps 18\" through 24\" sizes in stock and has no minimum order.

The commission asked Road & Bridge staff to take the bids back for review and return with a recommendation. \"Permissioners, I recommend that we send them back with Alyssa after review then, and then make the recommendation to us,\" a commissioner said. The transcript shows no formal vote on award at the meeting; staff follow-up was directed instead.

The bid-opening record in the transcript included unit prices for multiple diameters (8\", 10\", 12\", 15\", 18\", 24\", 30\", 36\", 42\", 60\") and the vendors' stated minimum-order conditions or inventory notes. Road & Bridge staff said some pipe sizes are stocked and others would be ordered to replenish county inventory.

Staff will return with a formal recommendation for contract award or purchase authorization after reviewing vendor terms and minimum-order conditions.","Crawford County Road & Bridge opened three bids for HDPE highway pipe.

\"I've recently gone to a couple of meetings about wind and solar. And I'm really concerned,\" said Don Lipeshak, a resident who addressed the commission during public comment. \"I understand there's a moratorium. But I understand also that it's going to expire at the end of the year. Is that true?\"

Commissioners responded that the moratorium was a one-year measure that expires Dec. 31 and that it was adopted to give county attorneys time to update the county's comprehensive plan to include guidance on alternate energy development. A commissioner summarized the purpose: the moratorium \"was not because we're in favor or against\" but to provide time for legal and planning updates.

Lipeshak said he would like the commission to extend the moratorium and to require an environmental-impact study during any extension. \"Once they put in a solar farm, that land is gone. It's done. You can't do a dang thing with it,\" he said, adding concerns about wildlife and about long-lived wind-turbine blades: \"when these turbines either fail or the blades on them fail, you can't get rid of the blades. You gotta bury them. You can't do nothing with them.\"

Commissioners described ongoing outreach tied to the comprehensive-plan update. A postcard survey will be mailed to property owners across Crawford County with instructions to respond by mail or online; staff said the mailing would include guidance and would be paired with later radio, TV or newspaper outreach. A consultant meeting had been delayed because the consultant faced a family emergency, a staff member said.

Asked whether the moratorium issue could be decided by ballot, a commissioner said state law prevents placing the question on the local ballot.

The commission did not record a motion to extend the moratorium in the provided transcript; a public comment and staff explanation were included in the record and staff described planned outreach and the comprehensive-plan update as the next steps.","A public commenter asked the Crawford County Commission to extend the county's moratorium on wind and solar developments and to require an environmental impact study; commissioners described the moratorium's purpose and outreach plans for an updated comprehensive plan.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6075084,"Votes at a glance: consent agenda approved; tax-exempt status for 710 N.

The consent agenda included a motion listed in the record as “25-5170” to approve the consent agenda; two related consent items described in the record — a CCAP letter of support for the Community Services Block Grant and several public building commission appointments — were read into the record as part of the consent package. The meeting record shows an initial motion, a second, and an “Aye” indicating approval of the consent items.

The commission also considered a request from the county clerk for a letter to the Board of Tax Appeals in support of an application by Family and Children Together to have the property at 710 North Broadway in Pittsburg declared tax-exempt for use as a mental-health facility. A commissioner made a motion “that we approve this tax exempt for the property at 710 North Broadway in Pittsburg, Kansas, authorizing the chair to sign.” A second followed and the record shows an “Aye.”

During the meeting Zoning Administrator Mae Smith presented a subdivision application for property identified as 1080 and 1092 on 5th/30th Avenue (presented as a combined project by Base Camp Pitt LLC). The planning-and-zoning record described multiple technical conditions — including percolation testing and an engineered septic design for some lots — and a motion was made to accept resolution 2025-014 tied to that subdivision. The transcript records the motion but does not record a second or a vote on that motion in the provided record.

The meeting proceeded to other agenda items after these actions.

Votes recorded in the provided transcript are summarized below; where the record did not show a vote count or named mover/second, the transcript text is quoted or described instead.
