Shawnee County planning panel forwards two subdivision plats to County Commissioners

The Shawnee County Planning Commission on Monday, December 9 (year not specified in the transcript) unanimously approved and forwarded two subdivision plats — Montgomery Subdivision (case P2401) and LRK 08 Subdivision (case P2402) — to the Board of County Commissioners, subject to required right-of-way dedications and Class A drainage reports.

Planning staff presented both cases and recommended approval with conditions. For P2401 (4941 NW 70th Street, applicants Ron and Jackie Hutchinson), staff described a proposal to subdivide a 4.78-acre parcel into two lots — Lot 1 of 1.5 acres and Lot 2 of 2.89 acres — and to dedicate 0.39 acres to the county for Northwest 70th Street right-of-way. Staff told the commission that no building permit may be issued until the additional right-of-way dedication is executed and the required drainage report is approved. Planning staff also said underground telephone cables (AT&T) must be located within the right-of-way before work begins.
