Olathe planning commission approves Stonebridge South final plat with conditions

The Olathe Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the final plat for Stonebridge South 2nd Plat, a roughly 10.8-acre residential subdivision that will create 35 single-family lots and three tracts intended for landscape and open space.

Planning staff presented the application and said the proposal includes vacating a segment of Ripley Street that was originally intended to serve a different, now-abandoned extension. "The site contains roughly 10.8 acres of land within the R 1 District," staff told commissioners and recommended approval "with the stipulation that the applicant provides the remaining utility consent form to the city" and that a pending lot split for Lot 9 be recorded before the final plat is recorded. Staff also reported that city traffic and utility engineering divisions have reviewed the materials and support the requests, while Johnson County Wastewater had not yet returned a consent form at the time of the hearing.

The chair opened and closed the public hearing after noting that no members of the public had signed up to speak. Commissioners then approved the plat as stipulated by staff on a roll-call vote recorded by the clerk; the motion passed 6-0.

The approval authorizes the city to record the plat once the remaining administrative steps are completed and the required utility consent and lot-split recording are on file. The commission thanked the applicant for attending the meeting.
