Review the Preliminary and Final Plats of the Stiles Addition located at 2120 S. 159^th Street East.

From Les Mangus memo: The proposed plat is the result of a split of a 13 acre parcel of form a 200 acre parcel for the purpose of building a single family home. The proposed lot has a rather long frontage on 159^th St. East, of which a good portion is bisected by a floodplain. The existing structure on the property is already served by a public waterline. Staff supports the plat as drawn with the addition of a minimum building pad elevation 1 foot above the Base Flood Elevation, and a statement or petition on the future paving of 159^th Street and extension of public sewer.

Mark Stiles, owner was present to answer questions of the committee.

Les said the parcel was part of the 200 acre parcel is the vacated Hidden Hills PUD. Les said the Stiles and Goedecke Engineering just realized this 13 acre parcel needed to be platted because it is inside the city limits.

Lynn Heath asked about water service. Les said the property is served by Wichita Water. Les said the closest sewer line is a half-mile away.

Jan Cox asked if there is a plan to build a house on this property. Mark Stiles said a house will be built in the future.

Lynn Heath asked what the structure shown on the plat is. Jan Cox said it is a barn. Lynn Heath asked if water is supplied to the barn. Mark said yes it is.

Lynn Heath asked if the street would be private. Mark said yes it is and that the road is gravel.

Les said his only comment not corrected was the flood plain and how to interpolate the flood plain elevation. He said the creek on the property is a couple of hundred yards from Four-Mile Creek and to designate this creek as backwater. Les said Goedecke only scaled the flood plain boundaries off of a flood plain map.

There was discussion about the comments from Les on both the Preliminary and Final Plats. Les said both comments from the Preliminary have been corrected.

Jan Cox asked about the Final Plat Statement of Improvements. Les said that is an issue to be worked out before the plat can be filed. The property has city water, but city sewer is not reasonably available. Les said Mark will need to give the city a petition that if it ever becomes available that he will become part of a benefit district to get public sewer.

Lynn Heath asked if there is an existing lagoon system. Les said there is a modified aerated lateral system in place.

Les said the minimum pad elevation needs to be shown on the final plat.

Jan Cox asked about the Governing Body Certificate if it is supposed to say “City Commission”. Les said that is an ongoing detail with engineers who work in several communities.

There was general discussion about the city limit line to the south.

Jan Cox made a motion to recommend approval to the Planning Commission for the Stiles Addition Preliminary and Final Plats as presented. Lynn Heath seconded the motion. Motion carried 2/0.
