Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance authorizing the execution of a License Agreement between the Lee's Summit R-7 School District and the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, for the installation and maintenance of a private low pressure sanitary service in the City's Rights-Of-Way on the east side of Smart Road, south of Oldham Parkway
Key Issues:
This is the implementation step of the annexation that was previously approved by the City Council for the Woodland Elementary School.
Proposed City Council Motion:
I move for adoption of an Ordinance authorizing the execution of a License Agreement between the Lee's Summit R-7 School District and the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, for the installation and maintenance of a private low pressure sanitary service in the City's Rights-Of-Way on the east side of Smart Road, south of Oldham Parkway
Background:
The Lee's Summit R-7 School District filed a petition for voluntary annexation on August 6, 2019. The proposal includes the right-of-way for Smart Road along the frontage of the Woodland Elementary school property. The school currently utilizes a private sewage treatment/disposal system for sanitary sewer. The school’s intent is to construct and connect a low-pressure sewer system to the Lee’s Summit sanitary system. The low-pressure sewer system is proposed to be owned and maintained by the Lee's Summit R-7 School District. In order for a property located outside the corporate limits of the City to potentially connect to the City's sanitary sewer system, the property must either be annexed into the City or special arrangements and agreements approved prior to making such connection(s). The annexation request was approved by City Council on October 15, 2019 and the property has been annexed into the City of Lee's Summit. The design for the proposed low-pressure sanitary sewer system has been reviewed by the City. The placement of the low-pressure system in the City’s right-of-way requires a license agreement.
