PLANNING & RESOLUTIONS 12-23-02
Johnson expressed concern regarding the Board's recent approval of Resolu tion No. 02-26, A Joint Ordinance/Resolution of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, and The Board of County Commissioners of Douglas County, Kansas, amending Section 21-104(a) of the Joint City/County Subdivision Regulations of the "Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, 2002," and amendments thereto to require subdivision plats within the City of Lawrence to include all contiguous land under the same ownership. Johnson noted that this was first brought before the Commission on 11/25/02. At that time, the County Commission tabled approval until the City Commission took action since it only applied to property within the city limits. The City approved the amendment, forwarded it to the County Com mission and was approved on 12/11/02. Johnson recently attended a Douglas County Development, Inc. Board Meeting and was discussing the amendment with Phil Struble who mentioned that this requirement is a bit of a burden, particularly for industrial land because you typically don't sell a piece of property in the final sale that's consistent with the preliminary or original plat -- it's tailored to whatever the needs are. This amendment will require replatting every time there is a land or lot sale. John Selk then presented a short description of the process. Johnson stated that although the City and the County have approved the resolution, it has not been finalized through publication. Johnson stated that he is not comfortable with the action taken and would like to hear a little bit more debate from the sides that are involved. The Board directed staff to contact the City Manager's office and ask that publication be delayed until the Board has had the opportunity to take a closer look at the amendment.
