MINUTES CITY OF OLATHE CITY PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT CASE # PR-12-015 Case Planner: Sean Pendley Planning Commission: September 24, 2012 Request: Final site development plan for Walmart Neighborhood Market. Location: Vicinity of southeast corner of 151st Street and Brentwood Street Owner: Brentwood Plaza, LLC, Michael Zevitz Applicant: Walmart Real Estate Business Trust Engineer: SMC Consulting Engineers, Terence Haynes Acres: 6.23± Proposed Use: Retail Store Current Zoning: C-2 Building Area: 41,179 sq. ft. Parking Spaces: Required 164 Proposed 172 Streets and Right of way: Existing Required Proposed Platted: 1. Private drive 30’ (total) 30’ (total) 30’ (total) A final plat for Brentwood Plaza, 3rd Plat is pending review. Comments: The following is a request for a final site development plan for Walmart Neighborhood Market in the Brentwood Plaza shopping center. The proposed development consists of a 41,179 square foot retail store with a drive-through pharmacy. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting for the proposed development on August 31, 2012. Only one person attended the meeting and they did not express any concerns with the development. 2. Preliminary Development Plan: A preliminary development plan (PR-06-003) for Brentwood Shopping Center was approved in 2006. Three lots have been developed including; PR-12-015 September 24, 2012 Page 2 Arby’s and Taco John’s on 151st Street and a multi-tenant retail building on Brentwood Street. The remaining lots south of the private drive were planned as miscellaneous retail, drive-through commercial and a daycare (see attached PR-06-003 Preliminary Site Plan). The proposed development for Walmart Neighborhood Market revises the remainder of the shopping center by reducing the number of buildings and total area of commercial uses. The original preliminary site plan from 2006 showed six buildings with a total floor area of 111,830 square feet. The applicant has submitted a revised preliminary site plan showing the Walmart building and conceptual layout for the remaining lots. The revised plan includes four buildings with a total floor area of 69,311 square feet. 3. Utilities: The subject property is located in the City of Olathe sewer area and Water District No. 1. Sanitary sewer service is available to the site. The applicant will need to coordinate with Water One for water service requirements. 4. Access/Streets: The proposed access to the Walmart site is generally the same as shown on the original preliminary development plan. There is an existing private drive along the north property line with two connections to 151st Street and one connection to Brentwood Street. Another cross-access driveway to Brentwood Street will be constructed with future development to the west. The site plan shows truck templates for ingress and egress to the loading dock at the rear of the building. Improvements to 151st Street and Brentwood Street, including turn lanes, were completed with previous development of the pad sites. The applicant submitted a traffic analysis with a comparison of the projected traffic volumes for the original preliminary development plan and revised plan with Walmart (see attached). The analysis showed a decrease in average weekday vehicle trips and peak hour volumes compared to the original build out with six buildings. 5. Parking/Lighting: Based on the proposed building area, a minimum of 164 parking spaces is required for Walmart. The proposed plan shows a total of 172 stalls, including six (6) accessible parking spaces, which meets the parking requirements for commercial developments. A photometric plan was submitted for the parking lot lighting. The plan shows the required light levels for the site and the lighting does not exceed maximum foot-candles at the property lines. The plan indicates that the light poles and fixtures at the rear of the building are mounted at 20 feet per Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requirements for lighting adjacent to residential areas. 6. Pedestrian Access: PR-12-015 September 24, 2012 Page 3 The site plan shows a pedestrian connection from the existing sidewalk along the private drive from 151st Street leading to the store entrance. There is a decorative crosswalk through the private drive. The site plan also shows a 5-foot sidewalk on the east property line extending south to the Oak Ridge Park Apartments site. The applicant has shown this sidewalk connection at staff’s request to serve the residents in the apartments and to help reduce the number of vehicle trips to the site. The applicant has indicated that the owner of the apartment complex is interested in providing a sidewalk connection on their property. 7. Stormwater/ Drainage: There are two regional detention basins located to the southwest of the site. The off-site detention system was designed to serve most of the Brentwood Shopping Center, including part of the proposed Walmart site. Since the Walmart site is only partially contained within the regional detention agreement, modifications will be required for the outlet control structure over one of the existing detention basins. The applicant has also proposed site-specific stormwater management features to address stormwater quality requirements. The BMPs include structural and non-structural devices and a maintenance schedule. The applicant has submitted a preliminary drainage plan and calculations for storm sewer. A final stormwater management plan for water quality and detention shall be submitted with the building permit. 8. Landscaping: The original preliminary site plan for Brentwood Shopping Center was approved with a 30-foot landscape buffer on the south property line adjacent to the apartment site. A 6-foot high landscape berm was constructed with original grading but trees were not planted on the berm. Due to the size of the proposed Walmart development, a greater landscape buffer is required. The proposed landscape buffer is 100 feet adjacent to the residential property, which complies with the Guidelines for Buffers between Conventional Residential and Nonresidential Uses. The proposed landscape plan identifies the required number of deciduous trees, evergreen trees and ornamental trees for perimeter landscaping for commercial developments. The plan also shows foundation landscaping on the front and sides of the building. Shrubs and landscape berms are provided across 100 percent of all parking areas facing the private drive and west side of the property facing Brentwood Street. 9. Architecture/Design: The proposed building has a flat roof design with a height of 24 feet. The neighborhood market includes a drive-through window for the pharmacy on the west elevation. The primary building materials consist of Quik Brik, EIFS and metal canopies and awnings. The proposed Quick Brick is similar to the masonry used for the Walmart Supercenter at K-7 and Santa Fe. The applicant submitted a photo packet with examples of Quik Brik applications. PR-12-015 September 24, 2012 Page 4 The loading dock and trash compactor at the rear of the building will be screened by masonry walls to match the building. In addition, the Walmart development includes an organic bin and pallet and bale recycling area to the rear of the loading area. The bin and recycling area will be screened on three sides with a 10-foot tall masonry wall to match the building. The applicant has indicated that the organic containers will include lock mounted lids and bio-bags to prevent drainage and retain potential odors. The recycling vendor for Walmart will provide the required maintenance and service the containers three times a week. The rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened by parapet walls on all sides of the building. The applicant has proposed landscaping for screening the ground mounted mechanical equipment on the west side of the building. The proposed building is compatible with existing commercial development in Brentwood Plaza and follows the Commercial Building Appearance Guidelines. 10. Signage: The proposed building elevations show two wall signs on the north elevation and one wall sign on the west elevation. The front of the building (North Elevation) includes a “Walmart Neighborhood Market” sign and separate “Pharmacy” sign on the other end of the façade. According to UDO requirements, one sign is permitted per wall. However, the Planning Commission may grant exceptions to certain sign requirements. Similar exceptions have been granted for an additional sign to advertise a separate service in a commercial building. Staff supports this particular exception because the two signs are well under the 10 percent maximum sign area allowed per wall and this type of additional sign is consistent with similar retail buildings. The applicant is also coordinating with the owners of the pad sites on 151st Street to propose a complex sign for Brentwood Plaza with space for Walmart and other potential tenants. At this time there is no agreement for the location or size of the proposed complex or monument sign. All wall and monument sign will require approval of separate sign permit applications. 11. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of PR-12-015 with the following stipulations: a. A final stormwater management plan for water quality and detention shall be submitted with the building permit. b. As indicated on the site plan, a five (5) foot sidewalk shall be constructed on the Walmart site extending south to the Oak Ridge Park Apartments property line. c. A parking lot lighting plan, in accordance with UDO requirements, shall be submitted with the building permit. The maximum height for light fixtures adjacent to residential development is twenty (20) feet. d. The building permit plans shall include details for the organic bin and pallet and bale recycling area. The bin and PR-12-015 September 24, 2012 Page 5 e. f. g. h. i. recycling area shall be screened on three sides with a 10foot tall masonry wall to match the building. An exception shall be granted by the Planning Commission for two wall signs on the front of the building as indicated on the building elevations dated September 6, 2012. Separate sign permits shall be approved for all wall signs and monument signs. The rooftop mechanical units shall be screened per the Guidelines for Screening of Rooftop Mechanical Equipment. All above ground electrical and/or telephone cabinets shall be placed within the interior side or rear building setback yards. However, such utility cabinets may be permitted within front or corner side yards adjacent to street right-ofway if such cabinets are screened with landscape materials. All on-site wiring and cables shall be placed underground. This item was removed from the Consent Agenda for further discussion at the request of Chairman Campbell. Sean Pendley, Senior Planner, appeared before the Planning Commission and presented the staff report regarding PR-12-015. Following staff presentation, the Chairman opened the meeting up to questions from commissioners: Chairman Campbell: I have a question for the applicant. One of the main reasons I pulled this from the agenda was specifically to highlight that this is the first neighborhood market we have coming to Olathe, so it’s good news for development. What is the schedule? When do you expect to break ground? When do you expect to be open? Brad Moore, BRR Architecture, 6700 Antioch Plaza, Suite 300, Merriam, Kansas, appeared before the Planning Commission and made the following comment: Mr. Moore: Next year. This is a fast-track project. We will have the construction drawings ready in the next 60 days, ready to be turned in for technical review. I’m not sure if we’re going to beat the weather as far as getting footings in the ground, but there is an aggressive schedule. Wal-Mart would love to see us breaking ground tomorrow. Chairman Campbell: Any questions from the Planning Commission? Motion by Chairman Campbell, seconded by Comm. Kohler, to approve PR-12-015, subject to the following stipulations: a. A final stormwater management plan for water quality and detention shall be submitted with the building permit. PR-12-015 September 24, 2012 Page 6 b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i.

MINUTES CITY OF OLATHE CITY PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT CASE # CPA-12-01 SUMMARY INFORMATION Case Planner: Ron Shaver, Deputy City Attorney Planning Commission Meeting Date: September 24, 2012 Request: Approval of Planning Commission Resolution No. 12-02 finding that the proposed N. Rogers Road (Ancona Holdings, LLC) Tax Increment Financing redevelopment project plan is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Location: 1000 N. Rogers Road (Frank Ancona Honda Dealership). Owner: Ancona Holdings, LLC Applicant: Timothy Klink, Polsinelli Shughart, PC Engineer: Davidson Architecture & Engineering CASE FILE INFORMATION I. COMMENTS The Kansas TIF act requires the planning commission to make a finding that the proposed redevelopment project plan is consistent with the intent of the city’s comprehensive plan. A final development plan has been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission for the Frank Ancona Honda project. II. HISTORY On September 24, 2012, the City Council established a tax increment financing (TIF) redevelopment district at 1000 N. Rogers Road for the purposes of redeveloping the Frank Ancona Honda dealership site. The owner has proposed redeveloping the Frank Ancona Honda dealership by constructing approximately 31,000 sq ft of additional showroom space (bringing the total showroom space to approximately 50,812 sq ft) and paving an additional 240,000 sq ft of new parking lot space (in addition to new infrastructure improvements to serve the property. The developer is prepared to move forward with the project as soon as all governmental approvals are obtained. III. ANALYSIS The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as a “Community Commercial Center”. Community Commercial Centers “frequently have a similar mix of tenants as Neighborhood Commercial Centers, but are larger in size. Typically, these Centers are 250,000 to 350,000 square feet in floor area and often include a full-service supermarket CPA-12-01 September 24, 2012 Page 2 as an anchor tenant. Since the Community Commercial Center draws from multiple neighborhoods, they may also include larger-scale tenants, including building hardware, apparel, booksellers, larger restaurants and sporting goods. These centers tend to be more pedestrian-scale than regional centers, and are typically located along transit or intersections of prominent streets. Adjacent uses would include denser residential uses and mixed-use buildings that serve as a transition to adjoining residential neighborhoods. Where possible, on-street parking should supplement surface parking to maximize land available for commercial and residential uses. Multi-story buildings are also encouraged.” The project plan describing development of the proposed Frank Ancona Honda projecct is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed plan for this site includes commercial uses. The land use and general site layout are generally the same as originally adopted. The current and proposed zoning is CP-3, Planned Community/Corridor Business District. Chapter 18.36.020 provides that automobile parking lots and structures (freestanding) are permitted in CP-3 districts subject to the performance standards in Section 18.36.060, and that and automotive repair and maintenance shops are permitted by right in CP-3 districts. The Planning Commission and City Council have previously found the project to comply with the performance standards in Section 18.36.060 when both bodies reviewed and approved the site plan for the project. The proposed project conforms to many principles of the new Comprehensive Plan: a. Principle LUCC-6 states: “Discourage “leap-frog” or sprawling land use patterns by encouraging growth in serviceable areas. Promote the infill of vacant parcels and reinvestment in buildable areas.” The associated Policy LUCC – 6.1: Targeted Development states: “With the guidance of the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map, encourage targeted development, redevelopment and infill so as to channel growth where it will contribute to the long-term community vision and improve access to jobs, housing and services.” The land use proposed for this site will re-use a site where infrastructure and other public services already exist. Renovating the existing dealership at this site promotes infill of a vacant parcel and reinvestment in a buildable area of Olathe while providing new opportunities for economic development near a major interchange within Olathe. b. Principle ES-3 states: “Strengthen and revitalize existing commercial centers.” The associated Policy ES-3.2: Reinvestment in Existing Commercial and Industrial Areas states: “Cooperate with the private sector to foster the revitalization of existing commercial and industrial areas in order to create greater vitality.” The revitalization of the Frank Ancona Honda dealership will benefit adjacent businesses and assist the long-term vitality of the commercial establishments located in the Olathe Gateway District and other establishments located along CPA-12-01 September 24, 2012 Page 3 Strang Line Road. The project will also result in a long-term increase in real property and sales tax collections to the City. c. Principle CF-1 states: “In order to protect and use past investments in capital improvements, new development and redevelopment will be located in areas where adequate public services and facilities presently exist or are planned to be provided.” The site it located in an area where public roads, sewers, and water lines have existed for commercial uses for many years. Reinvestment in this area would require little to no new infrastructure construction to serve the proposed Frank Ancona Honda dealership expansion. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution 12-XX finding that the proposed project for the N. Rogers Road TIF district is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Motion by Comm. Ling, seconded by Comm. Rinke, to approve CPA-12-01, per staff recommendation. Motion carries unanimously. MINUTES CITY OF OLATHE CITY PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT CASE # SU-12-010 Dave Clements, Planning Manager, made the following staff presentation: Case Planner: Dan Fernandez Date: September 24, 2012 Request: Approval of a special use permit for keeping chickens on a lot less than three (3) acres Location: 513 South Water Street Owners/ Applicants: Lisa and Luke Demaree Acres: 0.16± Number of Lots: Proposed Use: 1 Zoning: Keeping chickens on a lot less than three acres R-2 Land Use Zoning Comprehensive Plan Designation Site Residential R-2 Mixed Use Residential Neighborhood North Residential R-2 Mixed Use Residential Neighborhood East Residential R-2 Mixed Use Residential Neighborhood South Residential R-2 Mixed Use Residential Neighborhood West Residential R-2 Mixed-use Residential Neighborhood Platted: SOUTH SIDE LTS 13 & 14 & E 1/2 VAC ALLEY ADJ BLK 1 OLC 1971 I. COMMENTS This is a request for a Special Use Permit to allow the property at 513 S. Water Street to keep chickens. A Special Use Permit is required to keep chickens on a lot less than three acres. The applicant is proposing to keep two chickens on her property. SU-12-010 Continued September 24, 2012 Page 2 Per the requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), the applicant notified all property owners within two hundred (200) feet of this property via certified mail. The applicant has provided staff with certified mail receipts and staff has verified all property owners have been properly notified. II. DETAILS OF PROPOSAL The applicants are seeking a special use permit to keep chickens at 513 S. Water Street. The chickens are kept as a source of fresh eggs as well as family pets. The site contains a single-family home with the chicken coop placed in the back yard. There is a six foot (6’) privacy fence along the south and north property lines and a chain-link fence on the west property line. Staff considers the chicken coop an accessory structure and according to the UDO, accessory structures must be placed a minimum of three feet (3’) from the property line. The coop is situated closest to the property line to the south and is located three feet six inches (3’6”) from that boundary. The structure is approximately 6’W x 8’L x 8’H and is constructed of treated lumber and chicken wire. (see attachment). The chickens are allowed to free range in the enclosed back yard during the day and are placed in the coop at night. The chicken waste is cleaned several times a week by the applicant and is used as fertilizer (see attachment). III. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on July 24, 2012. Four neighbors attended the meeting with two neighbors expressing support for the proposal and two against the application (see attached). The neighbor to the south of the subject property submitted an additional letter in opposition. In addition to the opinions given at the neighborhood meeting, staff received a call from a neighbor in support of the applicant keeping chickens. IV. TIME LIMIT Currently there are no other special use permits for the keeping of chickens on a property less than three acres. However, there is a special use permit in place for other small animals which was granted a time limit of five years in 2008. Staff recommends an approval period of five years for the subject property with expiration on October 16, 2017. V. ANALYSIS Staff’s analysis of this application is based in part on the criteria established in Golden v. City of Overland Park, which determined factors a Planning Commission and City Council should consider in making decisions on special use applications. The following are the criteria for considering applications as listed in Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 18.12.140 and staff findings for each item: A. The conformance of the proposed use to the Comprehensive Plan and other adopted planning policies. SU-12-010 Continued September 24, 2012 Page 3 The Comprehensive Plan promotes sustainability and environmentally responsible operations. B. The character of the neighborhood including but not limited to: land use, zoning, density (residential), architectural style, building materials, height, structural mass, siting, open space and floor-to-area ratio (commercial and industrial). The use will be located on a single-family home and is located in a singlefamily neighborhood. The chicken coop is considered an accessory structure which is allowed on single-family lots. C. The zoning and uses of nearby properties and the extent to which the proposed use would be in harmony with such zoning and uses. The proposed use and zoning is in harmony with the surrounding area. The site is surrounded by other single-family homes. D. The suitability of the property for the uses to which it has been restricted under the applicable zoning district regulations. The proposed use is allowed on lots less than three acres with a special use permit. E. The length of time the property has remained vacant as zoned. The property is not vacant. F. The extent to which approval of the application would detrimentally affect nearby properties. The chickens are subject to Title 8 (Animals) of the Municipal Code and would not detrimentally affect nearby properties. G. The economic impact of the proposed use on the community. There is no economic impact on the community but the special use permit allows the applicant to produce eggs for their own use. H. The gain, if any, to the public health, safety, and welfare due to denial of the application as compared to the hardship imposed upon the landowner, if any, as a result of denial of the application. Staff does not believe that there is any threat to the public health, safety and welfare with the Special Use. VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION a. Staff recommends approval of SU-12-010, for the following reasons: SU-12-010 Continued September 24, 2012 Page 4 b. (1) The proposal conforms to the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. (2) The proposal complies with the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) criteria for considering special use permit requests.

Harrelson: Can you show us on the map the location of the two homeowners who were in opposition? Mr. Clements: I do not know the addresses and I would only be guessing. Comm. Harrelson: From the description I think one is to the south and one is across the street. Mr. Clements: Yes, one is abutting. Chairman Campbell: Anything else? Are the applicants here? Luke Demaree, 513 South Water Street, appeared before the Planning Commission and made the following comment: Mr. Demaree: I reside with my wife, and this is her project. Chairman Campbell: Can you give us a quick overview of what you’re doing? I know Dave talked about it a little bit. Lisa Demaree, 513 South Water Street, appeared before the Planning Commission and made the following comment: SU-12-010 Continued September 24, 2012 Page 5 Ms. Demaree: We’ve always had hatchlings in the spring, but then they went to live with their granddad or, when my grandfather was alive, my granddad. Both resided here in Olathe. My father passed away in January. We went ahead and got the hatchlings and just continued the tradition and kept them for ourselves. We have two – one red, and one buff. They have their own little condo out back and they free range the yard. They hang out with the dogs. They’re really not much different than the dogs, actually. They make less noise. You have to clean up after them just like you would a dog, a cat, a rabbit, or any other animal, so we take care of that. They come to the door, wanting cheese, usually, because they like treats. They are a pet of an interesting variety. Urban chicken farming is taking off as the green movement kind of comes back around and people are starting to do their own organic gardening again and provide for themselves, which is kind of where it all started with my granddad years ago. We do keep a large vegetable garden. I have fruit out front, vegetables in the back, chickens. We do a lot to be self-sufficient. We also utilize this as fertilizer for that. If you look at the paper that I turned in, we used the immediate with hay and water and form a fertilizer tea to use. You can also use it as compost. We have a tumbler out back that you simply put it in, turn it, and over time it composts down, and we use it back in the garden at the end of the season. That is an overview. Chairman Campbell: You’ve had a chance to look at the stipulations. Any issues with those? Are you in agreement with those? Ms. Demaree: Yes. Chairman Campbell: Any questions of the applicant? Comm. Rinke: Can you show us on the map where the coop is located on the property? Ms. Demaree: Sure. The house is right here. The coop is in this back corner. There are two large trees on either side, and it’s kind of situated at an angle, about five feet off the fence. Comm. Rinke: Is it the south property that is opposed to it? Mr. Demaree: It is. It’s the south property owner, and their in-laws live across the street in a larger lot, on the corner of South and Water. Comm. Rinke: Do you know which two homeowners were supportive? Ms. Demaree: It was actually three – the one directly to the north; the folks right here; and the gentleman on the corner here. Chairman Campbell: Any other questions? Thank you. This is public hearing. Is there anyone else wishing to speak in favor of this item? Is there anyone here wishing to SU-12-010 Continued September 24, 2012 Page 6 speak in opposition? Seeing or hearing none, we’ll bring it back to the Commission for any questions or comments, or a motion to close the public hearing. Comm. Ling: I’ve got a brother that does this, believe it or not, so I understand it. It’s a sustainable approach. But the difference is that he’s on a much larger lot, and he doesn’t have the immediate neighbors. I’ve gone out to see him and his chickens and his coop, and it’s interesting. They do become part of the family, so much so that when the time comes when they don’t produce eggs any more, it’s a real hard decision. But like I indicated, the difference is that he’s on a much bigger lot without the proximity. And to look at the lots in your area, they’re on the smaller side. I think you have neighbors that are in very close proximity. You have a neighbor to the south that has been there a long time, and when we look at these factors for determining whether this special use should be allowed, there’s an analysis that staff set out in its report. One of the items – the extent to which the approval of the application would detrimentally affect the nearby properties –the neighbors to the south are already indicating an odor and noise issue from the chickens, and I think it is impacting their property. I think that’s what this special use process is about, is to evaluate those situations. I just don’t think this is appropriate in this area because of the size of the lot and the proximity of the recreational uses of your neighbors. I don’t think you should impose the impact of your use on the neighbors. So, with that whole spiel, I am not in support of this. I have expressed a similar concern for dogs. If dogs in a high number had been there and the neighbors were complaining about the dogs – That’s what this hearing process and the special use permit is about, is to address these types of concerns. Those are my thoughts. Comm. Rinke: I have a follow-up question for the applicant. I don’t know if it would help with the neighbors to the south, but was there any consideration of moving the coop to the north side of the property? Ms. Demaree: We can move it, but the recreational situation that they speak of in their letter is actually a ten foot by five foot dog pen for their hunting dog, and a tree, and a chair. That’s the extent of their recreational. But certainly it’s not installed into the ground with cement or anything. It could be situated differently. The reason we put it where it was is there was an existing compost heap back there, so I already had the weed map, the gravel, and everything. It was already set up for something. We just moved the composter and put it there because it was simply easier to do so. Comm. Rinke: It seems like if there was an odor issue, it would primarily be coming from the coop. If your neighbor to the north doesn’t mind, maybe that was a solution. Ms. Demaree: Sure. Mr. Fernandez called one afternoon and asked to come take a look at this, and I said sure. He was over in 15 minutes and stated to me that he didn’t have any concerns, there was no odor issue for him. And like I said, I do keep it exceptionally clean, as clean, if not cleaner, than you would a dog pen, which also can be stinky and noisy. SU-12-010 Continued September 24, 2012 Page 7 Chairman Campbell: Any other questions? Comm. Almeida: I would tend to side with Mr. Rinke, in the fact that there is recreation back there. If that could be moved – I was just looking at the pictures of the seating area that they were talking about. Mr. Demaree: On the seating area, there has been a long-time issue with this neighbor. And I will say that the seating was originally over against the garage they had built over there. When the issue came up, the seating all of a sudden came closer, which to me, as an attorney, would speak of there not being an odor, not being a problem. In fact, the seating that they moved, they moved not only closer to our chicken coop, but right next to the dog pen that extends the length of their property. Chairman Campbell: Any further questions or comments? All right. Motion by Comm. Ling, seconded by Comm. Harrelson, to close the public hearing. Motion passes unanimously. Chairman Campbell: Since we’ve had a little bit of discussion, I’ll remind everybody that the special use is for the use. We’re not talking about the location of it. If they choose to move it to help and be neighborly, they can do that, but it’s not stipulated where it actually is, except that per code it’s at least three feet off the property line. Is that correct, Mr. Clements? Mr. Clements: Yes, sir. Chairman Campbell: Thank you. Is there a motion? Comm. Kohler: I have a question. Can it be stipulated - ? Chairman Campbell: Sure, it can be. It just is not. Motion by Comm. Harrelson, seconded by Comm. Ling, to Deny SU-12-010. Motion fails 2-4. Motion by Chairman Campbell to approve SU-12-010. Comm. Kohler: Would you be open to adding a stipulation that the applicant will move the coop to the north side of the property? Chairman Campbell: I will withdraw my motion and let you make that motion. SU-12-010 Continued September 24, 2012 Page 8 Comm. Almeida: The neighbor on the north side, did they write a letter in favor? Chairman Campbell: Yes, they did. Comm. Almeida: My concern is, if it’s in that back corner, you have three neighbors who could potentially be affected. Now we’re dictating that it be placed there, and will we have people come back later because it’s placed in that part of the yard now, when it was originally in a different part of the yard. Comm. Kohler: It could be a Ping-Pong match. I’ll withdraw the stipulation. Comm. Ling: Mr. Chairman, did you also want to consider the five year versus the one year on this? Chairman Campbell: Yes, I would be supportive of that, have a trial period. We’ve done that in the past. So, we will rewind: Motion by Chairman Campbell, seconded by Comm. Rinke, to approve SU-12010, subject to the following stipulations, as amended: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) The property shall be subject to all requirement of Title 8 (Animals) of the Olathe Municipal Code The Special Use Permit is valid for a period of one (1) year following Governing Body approval, with a tentative expiration date of October 16, 2013. A maximum of three (3) hens may be kept on the property at one time. Roosters shall not be allowed on the property. The chicken coop shall be maintained in good condition. The privacy fences shall remain and kept in good condition. Motion carries 4-2, with commissioners Harrelson and Ling voting against the motion. MINUTES CITY OF OLATHE STAFF REPORT CASE # RZ-12-009 Sean Pendley, Senior Planner, made the following staff presentation: Case Planner: Sean Pendley Planning Commission: September 24, 2012 Request: Rezoning from County RUR to R-1 District, 10.8± acres, and preliminary development plan for Pathway Community Church.

RZ-12-009 September 24, 2012 Page 3 I. COMMENTS A. Proposed Development: The following is a request for a rezoning from County RUR to R-1 District and a preliminary development plan for Pathway Community Church. There is an existing house on the subject property that is currently occupied by the church. The property was annexed into the City of Olathe in 2008 (ANX-10-001). The applicant is proposing a 1,900 square foot addition to the existing church and the property must be rezoned and a final plat is required prior to development. A final plat for Pathway Church has been submitted and is pending review. B. Public Notice/ Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant mailed the required public notification letters and posted signs on the property for the rezoning according to Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requirements. A neighborhood meeting was held on August 19, 2012 (see attached minutes). Approximately five residents attended the meeting. There were questions about landscaping, traffic and parking lot lighting. Staff received two calls from surrounding property owners with questions regarding the development. II. PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN A. Utilities/Municipal Services: The property is located in the City of Olathe water and Johnson County Wastewater areas. Water service is available to the site and the property currently has a holding tank for sanitary sewer. There are two restrooms in the existing building and there are no new restrooms proposed with the addition. Additional restrooms may be required depending on the occupancy load of the assembly space. The applicant has acknowledged that they will need to address the minimum plumbing fixture count with the building permit for the addition. B. Access/Traffic: The church has one existing driveway from Black Bob Road. There will be no changes to the existing driveway and no new driveways are proposed on 159th Street. The applicant provided a list of activities for the church with potential number of occupants for each type of event. A traffic impact study was not required for the proposed development. The preliminary plat identifies additional street right-of-way 159th Street and Black Bob Road to comply with UDO requirements for arterial streets. The street right-of-way shall be dedicated with the final plat or by separate instrument prior to publishing the zoning ordinance. RZ-12-009 September 24, 2012 Page 4 The City of Olathe and Johnson County are planning a joint project for safety improvements at the intersection of 159th Street and Black Bob Road. The improvements will include adding shoulders, grading the ditches, storm sewers and road overlay. Construction is scheduled for the spring of 2013. C. Parking: The church currently has 17 parking spaces. The preliminary site plan shows an additional 8 parallel spaces along the driveway to provide the required parking for the addition. The minimum requirement for churches is one (1) space for each four (4) seats. The proposed assembly shows a total of 100 seats so a minimum of 25 parking spaces are required. The site plan shows one accessible parking space which meets the requirements for disabled parking. The existing parking lot also has one light pole per UDO requirements. There is an existing trash receptacle located at the south end of the parking lot closest to 159th Street. The site plan shows a new trash enclosure to be located north of the parking lot behind an existing shed. D. Drainage: Coffee Creek runs along the north property line and part of the site is within the 100-year floodplain and 200-foot stream corridor setback. The proposed development is not subject to Title 17 stormwater requirements since the increase in impervious area is less than 5,000 square feet. The engineer provided a drainage study showing the difference in existing and proposed impervious area. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the property owner must file a stream corridor maintenance agreement. E. Pedestrian Access: There are no sidewalks along this section of 159th Street and Black Bob Road. Sidewalks are not required at this time because there are no connections to the north or east of this property. The sidewalks will be installed with future street improvements that provide connections to existing sidewalks. There are currently no projects in the Capital Improvement Plan for arterial street improvements in this area of 159th Street and Black Bob Road. F. Landscaping: There are a substantial number of existing trees along the creek and on the east side of the property. In addition, there are a number of existing mature trees around the existing church. All the trees will be preserved with the exception of one 30-inch oak tree to north of the building. The preliminary site plan identifies new ornamental trees near the entrance to the proposed building addition. Due to the number of trees RZ-12-009 September 24, 2012 Page 5 being preserved on the property, no new trees are required around the perimeter of the site. Screening (shrubs) is shown across the south end of the parking lot facing 159th Street and around the mechanical equipment on the proposed addition. G. Architecture/Design: The existing structure is a ranch style home that has been converted to a church. The proposed addition is located to the rear of the building and will consist of a one-story sanctuary with a pitched roof to match the existing building. The building materials for the addition include drystack stone base, fiber cement lap siding and asphalt shingles. The architectural design and materials for the addition are compatible with the existing building but also create a new look and additional space that is more appropriate for a church. H. Signage: There is an existing monument sign for the church located near the intersection of 159th Street and Black Bob Road. The sign is within the required public street right-of-way for 159th Street and will need to be relocated at the time of development for the addition. The monument sign shall be built on a solid base and shall comply with UDO requirements for height, area and setbacks. III. ANALYSIS The following are criteria for considering applications as listed in Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 18.12.140 and staff findings for each item: A. The conformance of the proposed use to the Comprehensive Plan and other adopted planning policies. The future land use map of the Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject property in a “Conventional Neighborhood” and “Secondary Greenway”. These areas are intended for residential uses, limited types of non-residential uses and open space. The existing church is an appropriate land use for the subject property and the proposed addition is compatible with existing development. The proposed rezoning follows the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Principle HN-1.3: Reduce Impacts from Redevelopment. “Design infill and redevelopment to avoid negative impacts and ensure compatibility and appropriate transitions between land uses.” RZ-12-009 September 24, 2012 Page 6 The existing church and proposed building addition is compatible with surrounding residential areas and provides a good transitional use at the corner of two arterial streets. Principle ESR-1.2: Inclusion of Natural Features into Development. “Incorporate natural physical features in new developments”. The church has taken into account the existing environment while planning for the addition. There is no development proposed within the stream corridor setback and all the existing trees along the creek and majority of trees around the existing church will be preserved. B. The character of the neighborhood including but not limited to: land use, zoning, density (residential), architectural style, building materials, height, structural mass, siting, open space and floor-toarea ratio (commercial and industrial). The surrounding area consists of single family homes, a church and park. The existing church was previously a house and the proposed addition is designed to be compatible with the existing structure. C. The zoning and uses of nearby properties, and the extent to which the proposed use would be in harmony with such zoning and uses. The surrounding properties are zoned RUR, County RN-1 and R-1. The County RN-1 district consists of single family homes on larger lots with a minimum of one acre. The proposed R-1 zoning district is appropriate for this area and churches are permitted in residential districts. There is another church on the opposite corner of 159th Street and Black Bob Road. D. The extent to which approval of the application would detrimentally affect nearby properties. The proposed development will not detrimentally affect surrounding properties since there have been no problems with the existing church and the proposed addition will not create any negative impacts for traffic, noise, aesthetics or environmental disturbance. E. The extent to which the proposed use would adversely affect the capacity or safety of that portion of the road network influenced by the use, or present parking problems in the vicinity of the property. The proposed addition for the church will have minimal impact on traffic volume for 159th Street and Black Bob Road. The church estimates an average of 40 people for current church services and approximately 80 occupants for future services with the proposed addition. RZ-12-009 September 24, 2012 Page 7 The existing parking lot and additional parallel spaces meet the minimum requirements for churches. F. The extent to which the proposed use would create air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution or other environmental harm. Staff is not aware of any potential for unlawful levels of air, water or noise pollution with the proposed development. The proposed building addition is located outside the 100-year floodplain and 200-foot stream corridor setback. G. The economic impact of the proposed use on the community. The proposed church will have minimal impact on economic development. The church will pay the required street and traffic signal excise taxes with the final plat. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS A. B. Staff recommends approval of RZ-12-009 for the following reasons: (1) The proposed development complies with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. (2) The rezoning to R-1 district meets the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) criteria for considering zoning applications. (3) The existing church is compatible with surrounding land uses and the proposed development maintains the required stream corridor and existing vegetation. Staff recommends approval of RZ-12-009 with the following stipulations to be included in the ordinance: (1) A final plat for the property shall be approved prior to issuance of a building permit. (2) The required street right-of-way for 159th Street and Black Bob Road shall be dedicated with the final plat or by separate instrument prior to publishing the zoning ordinance. (3) Prior to issuance of a building permit, the property owner shall file a stream corridor maintenance agreement. (4) The building addition shall comply with current City of Olathe building and fire codes. (5) Prior to certificate of occupancy for the addition, the existing monument sign shall be relocated out of the required street right-of-way. A sign permit application is required for any wall or monument sign in accordance with UDO 18.64.040. RZ-12-009 September 24, 2012 Page 8 (6) Per UDO requirements, all exterior ground or building mounted equipment, including but not limited to mechanical equipment, utility meter banks and coolers, shall be screened from public view with landscaping or an architectural treatment compatible with the building. (7) All new on-site wiring and cables shall be placed underground. Following staff presentation, the Chairman opened the meeting up to questions from commissioners: Chairman Campbell: I’m not sure I understood you correctly. The preliminary plat shows 75 feet of right-of-way being dedicated on 159th. Are you saying that there is more that’s going to be required? Mr. Pendley: No, what the plan shows is correct. The engineer working on the improvements is also assisting on this project. They dedicated the right-of-way needed for the upcoming improvements to the intersection, that even additional right-of-way beyond that be required to meet access management plan requirements. The UDO and access management plan requires a tapering at arterial road intersections. It’s not even planned in the capital improvement plan, but because it is an intersection of two major arterials, additional right-of-way would be needed in the event we needed an additional right turn lane. It’s not planned, but to meet the requirements, additional right-of-way will be needed, so the plan does show the property right-of-way. It will just be dedicated with the final plat. Chairman Campbell: So the 75 feet shown is what we’re going - ? Mr. Pendley: Correct. I’ve probably confused the situation by saying they’ve, they’ve dedicated some; they’re in the process of making the adjustments they need. Chairman Campbell: Any other questions for staff? This is a public hearing. Is the applicant here? Judd Claussen, Phelps Engineering, 1270 North Winchester, appeared before the Planning Commission and made the following comment: Mr. Claussen: I’m pleased to have this project before you. Sean gave you a great recap of where we are at today. There is a city/county project that is currently underway, a joint project to do some improvements to 159th and Black Bob. It is totally unrelated to this application, but the church worked with the city to grant some additional right-of-way for that project. Then, when this application came up, more right-of-way beyond that was required to be dedicated in accordance with the standards of the City for improvements. I think that would actually match RZ-12-009 September 24, 2012 Page 9 the right-of-way that was dedicated at the southwest corner of this intersection for that other church that Sean had mentioned. Sean mentioned that this used to be a residential house. It was in the county and brought into the city in 2008. It’s been a church since 2005, so it’s been operating as a church for quite a while. It’s a growing community church and they have a need for an addition for their expanded congregation. That’s on the north side of the existing structure. We’ve had a couple meetings with staff, worked through some questions as to fire, access, parking, etc. We feel like we have a very good plan for your consideration. Chairman Campbell: I have a question about access. Only on Black Bob - ? Mr. Claussen: There’s no change to access. Originally when that was a singlefamily house, there was a highway that went down to 159th, but that was removed some time ago. Chairman Campbell: The driveways are lined up across. I see the existing driveway and the drive across into the subdivision. What’s the long-term plan? Does the drive incorporate when the church as a thousand members - ? What are we going to do there? Mr. Claussen: We may have to go to a different site when we get that many members. We really hadn’t looked at it that much farther beyond just this one drive. There is a lot of capacity available with this one drive and I could foresee them doing another addition or another building and still being able to be served off that single point driveway. At some point it may become an item of concern and we’ll have to address that at that time. I believe they would like to break ground yet this year. We might be pushing that a little bit since we’re just at the rezoning stage, but as soon as possible. Chairman Campbell: Other questions or comments? This is a public hearing. Is there anyone else wishing to speak in favor? Is there anyone wishing to speak in opposition? Seeing or hearing none, we’ll bring it back to the Commission for discussion, or a motion to close the public hearing. Motion by Comm. Kohler, seconded by Comm. Ling, to close the public hearing. Motion passes unanimously. Motion by Commissioner Kohler, seconded by Commissioner Ling, to recommend approval of RZ-12-009, for the following reasons: (1) The proposed development complies with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. RZ-12-009 September 24, 2012 Page 10 (2) The rezoning to R-1 district meets the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) criteria for considering zoning applications. (3) The existing church is compatible with surrounding land uses and the proposed development maintains the required stream corridor and existing vegetation. Commissioner Kohler’s motion included recommending approval with the following stipulations to be included in the ordinance: (1) A final plat for the property shall be approved prior to issuance of a building permit. (2) The required street right-of-way for 159th Street and Black Bob Road shall be dedicated with the final plat or by separate instrument prior to publishing the zoning ordinance.

(7) All new on-site wiring and cables shall be placed underground. Motion passes unanimously. CITY OF OLATHE CITY PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT CASE # P-12-023 Planner: Dan Fernandez Request: Approval of a final plat for twenty-eight lots on 15.09± acres for Meadows of Forest View, 6th Plat. Location: In the vicinity of Solomon Road and Dunraven Street Owner/ Applicant: Tom Langhofer 119/7 Roadside Partners, LLC. Engineer: Todd Allenbrand, Payne & Brockway, P.A. Acres: 15.09± Current Zoning: RP-1 Lots: 28 Streets and Right of way: Existing Required Proposed Planning Commission: Proposed Use: Single-family Tracts: 3 October 8, 2012 Dunraven Street Kenton Street 123rd Terrace N/A 50’ (Total) 50’ (Total) N/A 50’ (Total) 50’ (Total) N/A 50’ (Total) 50’ (Total) I. COMMENTS This is a request for approval of a final plat of twenty-eight lots and three tracts for Meadows of Forest View, 6th Plat located in the vicinity of Solomon Road and Dunraven Street. The rezoning (RZ-17-03) of this land to RP-1 was approved by the Planning Commission on June 9, 2003. A preliminary plat (P-76-03) for 725 lots and 21 tracts which includes this area was approved on August 1, 2003. II. FINAL PLAT REVIEW A. Lots/Tracts: The final plat includes a total of twenty-eight lots on 15.09 acres giving the development a density of 1.86 units per acre. The property is zoned RP-1 but all the lots meet area and setback requirements for the R-1 District. There are no requests for reductions to lot area or minimum building setbacks. The plat also includes three tracts. Tract “K” is to be used as a drainage easement and recreation easement and will be dedicated to the City of P-12-023 October 8, 2012 Page 2 Olathe for future parkland. The City will be responsible for the construction of a bike/hike trail and for the maintenance of the trail and tract. Tracts “L” and “M” will be owned and maintained by the Forest View Homes Association and will be used as open space and/or other amenities. Storm drainage outfalls above steep hillsides and their discharge structures, which are not extended to existing rock bottom channels, shall be designed to minimize velocity and concentration of flow onto unprotected steep slopes as much as possible and practical. Dispersion of concentration is critical to preventing the creation of new, uncontrolled channels below the outfall with resultant erosion, to reduce future hillside slumping from over saturation of soils below and to improve protection of private property above the outfall from the impacts of uncontrolled down slope erosion. Whenever possible, storm drain lines and outfalls shall be coordinated, relocated and extended to parallel sanitary sewer easements and subsequent clearings if such coordination, relocation and extension will results in fewer hillside outfalls and those outfalls being extended to existing channels without a significant increase in tree clearing and removal over that required for the sanitary sewer installation. Best Management Practices shall be reviewed by Parks & Public Grounds Division prior to approval of final street and storm drainage plans for any plats with outfalls on to tracts which are be dedicated to the City of Olathe. B. Utilities/Municipal Services: The property is located in the Olathe water and sewer service areas. Water and sewer main extensions will be required to serve the lots. The applicant will need to coordinate with the respective utility providers for required connections. C. Streets/Right-of-Way: The lots will have access to Dunraven Street and W. 123rd Terrace which will be built as part of this development. A portion of Kenton Street extending north from Dunraven Street will also be built. The streets meet Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requirements for public right-of-way. D. Street and Signal Excise Taxes: The property is included in the 127th Street Benefit District and therefore, street excise fees are not required for the proposed development. The final plat is also subject to a traffic signal excise tax of $0.0037 per square foot of land area. Based on the plat area, the required traffic signal excise fee is $2,432.67. The required excise fees shall be submitted to the City Planning Division prior to recording the final plat. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of P-12-023 with the following stipulations: a. Prior to recording the plat, a digital file of the final plat (pdf format) shall be submitted to the City Planning Division. P-12-023 October 8, 2012 Page 3 b. c. d. e. f. g. Prior to recording the final plat, the required traffic signal excise fee of $2,432.67 shall be submitted to the City Planning Division. All above ground electrical and/or telephone cabinets shall be placed within the interior side or rear building setback yards. However, such utility cabinets may be permitted within front or corner side yards adjacent to street right-ofway if cabinets are screened with landscape materials. Prior to issuance of a building permit, performance and maintenance bonds or a letter of credit in an amount to be determined by the City, shall be submitted in accordance with UDO § 18.68.390.B and 18.12.040.B to ensure that public improvements, certain easements and related improvements will be installed, approved, and maintained after completion of the development. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a performance and maintenance bond or letter of credit in an amount to be determined by the City Engineer, shall be submitted in accordance with UDO § 18.68.390 D. to ensure that all erosion control measures and water quality features are installed and maintained and that all of the development’s streets and sidewalks remain free of debris during all phases of construction. All required street trees for each lot shall be planted prior to a certificate of occupancy per UDO 18.68.390E. In accordance with UDO 18.68.390 F, master landscaping, trails and other subdivision improvements must be installed prior to commencing construction on the next phase. If the improvements cannot be constructed prior to the commencing the next phase of construction a financial guarantee will be required in the amount of the full cost of the improvements. The final phase of the development will require a financial guarantee for subdivision improvements prior to issuance of a building permit.

Location: In the vicinity of Solomon Road and Sunray Drive Owner/ Applicant: Tom Langhofer 119/7 Roadside Partners, LLC. Engineer: Todd Allenbrand, Payne & Brockway, P.A. Acres: 18.86± Current Zoning: RP-1 Lots: 33 Streets and Right of way: Existing Required Proposed Planning Commission: October 8, 2012 Proposed Use: Residential Tracts: 1 Solomon Road Mesquite Street N/A 50’ (Total) 50’ (Total) N/A 50’ (Total) 50’ (Total) I. COMMENTS This is a request for approval of a final plat of thirty-three lots and one tract for Hills of Forest View, 3rd Plat located in the vicinity of Solomon Road and Sunray Drive. The rezoning (RZ-17-03) of this land to RP-1 was approved by the Planning Commission on June 9, 2003. A preliminary plat (P-76-03) for 725 lots and 21 tracts which includes this area was approved on August 11, 2003. A final plat for the same property (P-06-091) for thirty-three lots and one tract was approved by the Commission on August 15, 2006. Final plats need to be recorded within two years of approval before becoming null and void. The applicant is resubmitting the final plat application for this property. II. FINAL PLAT REVIEW A. Lots/Tracts: The final plat includes a total of thirty-three lots on 18.86 acres giving the development a density of 1.75 units per acre. The property is zoned RP1 but all the lots meet area and setback requirements for the R-1 District. P-12-024 October 8, 2012 Page 2 There are no requests for reductions to lot area or minimum building setbacks. The plat also includes one tract, Tract “F”, which is to be used as a drainage and recreation easement and will be dedicated to the City for future parkland. The City will be responsible for the construction of a bike/hike trail and for the maintenance of the trail and tract. Storm drainage outfalls above steep hillsides and their discharge structures, which are not extended to existing rock bottom channels, shall be designed to minimize velocity and concentration of flow onto unprotected steep slopes as much as possible and practical. Dispersion of concentration is critical to preventing the creation of new, uncontrolled channels below the outfall with resultant erosion, to reduce future hillside slumping from over saturation of soils below and to improve protection of private property above the outfall from the impacts of uncontrolled down slope erosion. Whenever possible, storm drain lines and outfalls shall be coordinated, relocated and extended to parallel sanitary sewer easements and subsequent clearings if such coordination, relocation and extension will results in fewer hillside outfalls and those outfalls being extended to existing channels without a significant increase in tree clearing and removal over that required for the sanitary sewer installation. Best Management Practices shall be reviewed by Parks & Public Grounds Division prior to approval of final street and storm drainage plans for any plats with outfalls on to tracts which are be dedicated to the City of Olathe. B. Utilities/Municipal Services: The property is located in the Water District #1 service area with the exception of Lots 168 and 172 which is provided by Olathe. The property is in the Olathe sewer service area and sanitary sewer main extensions will be required. The applicant will need to coordinate with the respective utility providers for required water and sewer connections. Sewer buy-in fees to Main 14 will need to be paid prior to recording the plat at $1,718.70 per acre for 18.86 acres, which equals a total of $32,407.82. C. Streets/Right-of-Way: The lots will have access to Solomon Road and Mesquite Street which will be built as part of this development. The streets meet Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requirements for public right-of-way D. Street and Signal Excise Taxes: The property is included in the North Clare Road Benefit District and therefore, street excise fees are not required for the proposed development. The final plat is also subject to a traffic signal excise tax of $0.0037 per square foot of land area. Based on the plat area, the required traffic signal excise fee is $3,039.06. The required excise fees shall be submitted to the City Planning Division prior to recording the final plat. P-12-024 October 8, 2012 Page 3 III.

Santa Fe Street Owner: M&M Investments, L.L.C. (Olathe Ford Lincoln) Applicant: Lisbona Architects, Larry Lisbona Engineer: Phelps Engineering, Inc., Harold Phelps Acres: 3.06± Building Area: Existing Addition 6,479 sq. ft. 8,458 sq. ft. Parking Spaces: Customer parking Required 13 Streets and Right of way: Existing Required Proposed Platted: 1. Planning Commission: October 8, 2012 Proposed Use: Auto Sales Current Zoning: C-3 Proposed 15 Santa Fe Street 55’ (½ Street) 60’ (½ Street) n/a Part of Lot 2, Briggs’ Place. Comments: This is a request for a revised site development plan for Olathe Ford Lincoln. A final site development plan (PR-12-009) was approved on July 9, 2012 for a building addition to the Olathe Ford building to accommodate a new showroom for Lincoln. Since that time, the owner has decided to change the location for the new Lincoln showroom to the freestanding building to the west that is currently operating for used car sales. The building addition will accommodate a new Lincoln showroom floor, offices and service area. The existing building is approximately 6,500 PR-12-016 October 8, 2012 Page 2 square feet and the proposed addition will add 8,458 square feet to the front and sides of the building. 2. Utilities: The property is located in the City of Olathe sewer and water service areas. The building addition will utilize existing meter service. 3. Access: The dealership currently has two access drives and one shared drive on Santa Fe Street. There are no changes proposed for access. The internal drive aisles and display parking around the proposed building will be revised to allow at least 20 feet of clearance. 4. Parking: The existing parking area on the north and east sides of the existing building will need to be revised as a result of the proposed addition. The site plan shows a total of 15 parking spaces for customer parking and/or vehicle inventory. The requirement for automobile sales is two (2) spaces per 1,000 square feet of indoor sales area plus one (1) space per 4,500 square feet of outdoor sales area. Based on this ratio, the minimum required parking is 13 spaces for the proposed Lincoln building. The site plan shows one (1) accessible parking space for the proposed building which meets Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requirements for disabled parking. All parking spaces shall be striped and accessible parking shall be designated per ADA requirements. 5. Landscaping: The site has existing landscaping with perimeter trees along Santa Fe Street, Lindenwood Drive to the west and along the rear property line to the south. Shrubs are also provided across 100 percent of the parking area facing Santa Fe Street. 6. Architecture/Design: The proposed building addition will incorporate the same design and materials as shown with the previous plan for the Ford building. Attached is a color rendering of the previous building addition. The building materials consist of aluminum composite panels and painted stucco to match the existing building. The building addition will be located to the front and sides of the existing building. The main entrance includes a tower feature with metal wall panels and a darker metal fascia. The two existing service bays on the right side of the north elevation will be relocated to the left side to provide a new service area for Lincoln. The east and west elevations of the PR-12-016 October 8, 2012 Page 3 proposed addition consist of painted stucco to match the existing building. The remainder of the existing building will remain the same. The rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened from public view per UDO requirements and Design Guidelines. The elevations indicate gray metal screen walls around the rooftop units. 7. Signage: The proposed building includes the same wall signs for Lincoln as previously approved with PR-12-009. The Planning Commission granted an exception to allow three wall signs for the Lincoln sales area and a wall sign for the service area. 8. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of PR-12-016 with the following stipulations: a. Separate sign permit applications shall be submitted and approved prior to installation. b. All proposed parking spaces shall be striped and accessible parking spaces shall include handicap pavement markings and vertical signage per ADA requirements. c. The rooftop mechanical units shall be screened per the Guidelines for Screening of Rooftop Mechanical Equipment. d. As required by the UDO, all exterior ground or building mounted equipment, including but not limited to mechanical equipment and utility meter banks, shall be screened from public view with landscaping or an architectural treatment compatible with the building architecture. e. Any new on-site wiring and cables shall be placed underground. d ia nC re BR O TRENTON ST LOC UST ST In n dia 1 Cr e ek ia n In d Ind ian C r eek TE R TH !
