Board to consider easements for Overland Park bridge work at Middle Basin property
Summary
County staff recommended granting temporary construction and permanent utility easements at the Douglas L. Smith Middle Basin Wastewater Treatment Facility in Overland Park to allow the city to replace the Indian Creek bridge; staff said no county facilities occupy the northeast corner where easements are sought.
County staff described a request from the City of Overland Park for two easements on Johnson County Wastewater property at the Douglas L. Smith Middle Basin Wastewater Treatment Facility, 10001 College Boulevard, to allow grading for sidewalk and bridge tie‑ins and to relocate City fiber into a permanent utility easement.
A county presenter (listed in the agenda as Ms. McGarrick) said the requested easements are limited to the facility’s northeast corner, where staff identified no county facilities or assets. The county staff recommended approving a temporary construction easement to permit grading and a permanent utility easement to allow the city to relocate fiber and make the easement available for other utilities in the future. A county questioner asked whether the easements would affect future expansion of Middle Basin; staff answered that they would not affect future expansion in this location.
The discussion was at the Jan. 16 agenda review and no formal board action was recorded in the transcript; the item will appear on the Jan. 23 business session agenda for final consideration.
