PUBLIC HEARING - Application #PL2018-013 - VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY - portions of SW Longview Blvd and SW Fascination Dr, generally located at the intersection of SW Longview Blvd and SW Fascination Dr; City of Lee’s Summit, applicant
Body
Issue/Request:
This application is to vacate portions of right-of-way along the angled parking areas along the north and south sides of SW Fascination Drive and along the east side of SW Longview Blvd. The subject portions of right-of-way were dedicated as part of the Tower Park Commercial Phase 1 and 2; New Longview Roadway; and New Longview Commercial District plats. The dedication of these portions of right-of-way necessitated the need for a maintenance agreement between the City and the property owner due to the encroachment of the angled parking spaces into the right-of-way. By vacating these portions of right-of-way, a maintenance agreement is no longer needed. A utility and sidewalk easement will be granted over the vacated portions of right-of-way to cover existing public infrastructure.
The request for vacation of right-of-way was sent to the City’s Public Works and Water Utilities Departments, as well as the private utility companies, for their input. No objections to the requested vacation were received.
