Staff reports Evergy monopole, Sandstone Townhomes power delays and Quick Trip permit timeline
Summary
Community development staff told the commission the November agenda will include an Evergy special use permit for a monopole at Nettleton & Metropolitan, Sandstone Townhomes remain delayed awaiting permanent power, and Quick Trip building plans are approved and expected to go to bid at year’s end.
At the Oct. 15 meeting the community development director updated the Planning Commission on several ongoing and upcoming development items.
Staff said the Nov. 2024 agenda will include a special use permit application from Evergy for a monopole communication tower at Nettleton and Metropolitan; special use permits are required for such poles. Staff also said a replat for a project labeled "120 On Oak" will be brought forward in November.
On Sandstone Townhomes, staff reported developers have built structures using generators because Evergy did not have sufficient power along the 100th and 130th Street corridor; the townhomes are ready to occupy pending permanent power. Staff also noted downtown apartment projects and a parcel north of Academy Bank remain active and will require platting or updated impact studies.
Regarding commercial development, staff said Quick Trip’s building plans are approved, some sign details remain under discussion, and the project is expected to go out for bids at year’s end with construction early next year.
Staff asked commissioners to review the draft meeting schedule into 2025 and advise of conflicts; he noted the schedule provides approximately 45 days of review and that a 20‑day publishing requirement is mandated by state statute.
