Staff clarifies floodplain mapping requirement for plat vacation request

Sedgwick County Commission · January 2, 2026

Summary

A vacation request for property near North Mays Road was explained as affecting only a portion of a subdivision in a floodplain and requiring a letter of map revision rather than blanket changes to the entire subdivision.

Clerk (S2) introduced a request to vacate plat text on property zoned rural residential near North Mays Road about 2,000 feet north of W. 53rd Street. Staff member (S3) provided a technical clarification: the request is meant to address only the portion of the subdivision in the floodplain and to clarify that a letter of map revision (LOMR) will be required for that portion, not for the entire subdivision.

As Staff member explained, "this is referring to clarification of the need for a letter of map revision, for flood plain." The staff explanation was presented to clear up ambiguous backup materials; commissioners were not asked to take immediate action at this briefing and were directed to the written backup for details.
