Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2020-271 - Vacation of Right-of-way - Two segments of NE Douglas St generally located south of 2305 NE Douglas St; City of Lee's Summit, applicant
Body
Issue/Request:
The City proposes to vacate portions of NE Douglas St right-of-way rendered unnecessary since completion of a capital improvement project in 2016 that relocated and realigned the intersection of NE Douglas St with NE Lee’s Summit Rd. The vacated right-of-way will revert to private property and will be absorbed by the abutting parcels. Public water, sanitary sewer and storm water lines exist within the subject right-of-way. The water line and sanitary sewer line will remain public infrastructure and require the retention of a public easement to cover said infrastructure. The storm sewer line will revert to private infrastructure to be owned and maintained by the new property owner.
