Title
An Ordinance vacating a certain easement located at 915 NW Colbern Road in the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri.
(Note: First read by Council on October 6, 2026. Passed by unanimous vote.)
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant requests that the City vacate a utility easement in association with the development of the previously approved elementary school. More specifically, the requested easement to be vacated with this application is a 30-ft. wide sanitary sewer easement generally running east-west. Redevelopment of the subject site will include the abandonment and realignment of existing sanitary sewer line that renders the subject easement as unneeded and therefore will no longer serve a public purpose. A new sanitary sewer easement to serve the development of the site has been dedicated via the Summit Village Corporate Park, 2nd Plat.
Proposed City Council Motion:
I move for a second reading of an Ordinance vacating a certain easement located at 915 NW Colbern Road in the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri.
