Haysville City Planning Commission recommends approval of A and K Addition final plat, subject to Sedgwick County stormwater comment

The Haysville City Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a one-step final plat for the A and K Addition, an 8.18-acre tract east of Southwest Street, to the Haysville City Council, contingent on addressing a Sedgwick County Stormwater Management comment and staff-recommended corrections.

Staff told the commission the subject site — currently vacant and previously used as the front yard for the adjacent property at 8606 Southwest Street — was first described legally in 1991 and had remained under single ownership until recently. Staff said the property is now being submitted for platting because current subdivision regulations require parcels under 20 acres to conform to subdivision rules; MAPD review shows the plat conforms to zoning and the city's land-use map.

Dan Garber of Garber Surveying Service, representing the developer, told the commission he reviewed county correspondence and the project's drainage plan, which is stamped June 6. Garber said he could not provide written assurance at the hearing that Sedgwick County Stormwater Management's June 4 comments had been formally addressed but said the June 6 drainage plan likely incorporates responses. "The plan that I have says, basically, 1 house on that many acres. There's no major impact, and so no need for detention or anything like that," Garber said. "We're comfortable with the motion to approve it subject to that being taken care of." (Dan Garber, surveyor, Garber Surveying Service.)

Commission staff recommended the commission's recommendation be conditioned on the outstanding stormwater comment being addressed before the plat proceeds to city council; the staff report noted all other review comments were addressed on the final and preliminary plat. At the commission meeting a motion to recommend approval subject to staff corrections and a City-County electric co-op easement request was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript shows no roll-call tally; the chair called for ayes and recorded no opposition.

The commission's recommendation does not itself approve subdivision or infrastructure work; the plat will next appear before the Haysville City Council for final action, and staff said Sedgwick County Stormwater Management must confirm its comment has been resolved before that step.
