PLANNING COMMISSION /
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
JULY 20, 2021

Commissioners Absent: Pfefferkorn, McLean, Pritchard
Others Present: Assistant City Manager Randi Shannon, Seth Dubinick
Item 1: Pledge of Allegiance
Item 2: Consideration of minutes from the June 15, 2021 meeting
Commissioner Cowman called the meeting to order. The first order of business was the
consideration and approval of the minutes from the June 15, 2021 meeting.
Commissioner Cowman made a motion to approve the minutes from the June 15, 2021 meeting,
Commissioner Nickelson made a second motion. All Commissioners voted in favor with
Commissioner Scott abstaining due not being present at the June 15, 2021 meeting.
Item 3: Public Hearing: Consideration and vote on text amendments to the Land
Development Ordinance pertaining to buildable residential lot sizes.
Commissioners Newton and Scott made a motion to open a public hearing with all
Commissioners voting in favor.
Assistant City Manager Randi Shannon presented that at the meeting on May 19, 2021 the
Planning Commission discussed the current building lot size regulations and gave Shannon the
direction to research some proposed language that was reviewed and discussed at the June 15,
2021 meeting, which led to the Public Hearing.
The original text from the LDO states that lots platted prior to 1983 shall have a minimum lot
area of 6,000 square feet; lots platted after the year 1983 shall have a minimum lot area of
8,500 square feet.
The suggested language is that the minimum lot area requirements of 6,000 square feet, for lots
platted prior to 1983, may be waived for residential use if the following conditions are met per
staff review and approval.
A.) Applicant must submit a certified plot plan for staff review before permit application can be
submitted and approved.
B.) Plot plan shall comply with the setback requirements stated in Article 4 of the Land
Development Ordinance.

C.) The combined square footage of the principal structure, detached garage, and storage/utility
shed shall not exceed the maximum building coverage in Table 04.110A Use and Lot
Standards. Where no maximum building coverage is provided, the combined structures shall not
cover more than 70% of the lot area.
D.) The primary residential dwelling shall comply with Section 15.525 SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN STANDARDS.
E.) The primary residential dwelling shall comply with the building code requirements adopted
by the Paola Municipal Code.
The Land Development Ordinance also has a section which is a standard for ordinance text
amendments.
In acting upon a text amendment the Planning Commission and Council shall consider whether
the proposed amendment:
A. Would implement a new portion of the Comprehensive Plan or amendment.
B. Would implement and better achieve the Comprehensive Plan's goals and objectives that
have proved difficult to achieve under the Ordinance's existing provisions.
C. This Ordinance's provisions were inconsistent or unreasonable in light of standards for
similar uses.
D. Is necessary to respond to State and/or federal legislation.
E. Provides additional flexibility in meeting this Ordinance's objectives without lowering the
Ordinance's general standards.
F. Addresses a new use(s), changing conditions, and/or clarifies existing language.
G. Clarifies the Ordinance or makes adjustments to account for interpretations
After review, the text amendment would address the following sections.
B. This new language would promote new residential development and provide a more diverse
housing stock for the City.
E. It would provide more flexibility by allowing Staff to do the initial review but still implementing
the original intention of the LDO standards.
G. It would clarify the regulations and allow for more consistency in the review and permitting
process for residential development.
Commissioner Cowman asked if anyone from the public wanted to speak in regards to this
matter. There were no members of the public that chose to speak. Commissioner Cowman
asked if the City received any written communications in regards to this matter. Shannon
advised that the City did not.

Commissioner Scott thanked Shannon and staff for addressing and clarifying this matter. He
asked if there was a way to keep each new request for special lot size from having to go through
a special hearing. Shannon advised that this would be the case due to the ability to have Staff
review and approve. In the case that a request is denied the request can come before the
Commissioners for a variance hearing.
Commissioner Scott asked if this text amendment change was discussed with the
Comprehensive Plan Committee. Shannon advised that it was discussed and the committee is in
favor.
Commissioners Scott and Newton made a motion to approve the text amendments to the Land
Development Ordinance pertaining to buildable residential lot sizes with all commissioners
voting in favor.

building permits so far this year, the Baptiste Extension and Hedge Lane Project are back on
schedule after being shortly delayed by the rain and are looking at finishing by early or mid-
August, the Comprehensive Plan is still underway, the public engagement workshop was held in
June and the advisory committee met last week to go over some of the initial feedback received
from the workshop and the online portal, the City had a booth at the farmer’s market last
weekend to help promote the Comprehensive Plan and the City is also putting the QR code and
synopsis on the back of the pool passes that will be handed out by Council at the parade next
week, the new City logo is on all of the City trucks, Shannon advised she will be on vacation next
week but they can contact City Manager Sid Fleming or Administrative Assistant Audra Harper
with any questions.
Commissioner Scott asked if the City was receiving a good response from the citizens in regards
to the Comprehensive Plan. Shannon advised that 65 people have responded so far and there
are quite a few citizens engaging on the interactive map. Vision boards have been placed at the
pool and library and are helping with the public engagement. Commissioner Nickelson asked if
all Miami County residents were able to include their feedback and Shannon responded that
they are. Shannon advised that at the local workshop 20 citizens showed up in person.

Introduction:
Case Number: 21-PLAT-03
Applicant: Legacy Properties & Development, LLC - Rob George

Background:
This parcel is approximately 2.88 acres. Applicant is looking to split the parcel into five
(5) separate lots. Lots 2-5 are intended for residential development. The minimum lot

for residential development as well as some commercial development. If a commercial
project is to be developed the applicant will have to submit a site plan for Planning
Commission’s review.
The plat was done by Allenbrand-Drews & Associates, Inc. There is a 25ft build line
around the property, as well as the required 10ft utility easements. The proposed sewer
extensions are shown on the second page of the plat. The extensions are within the 25ft
building line, and plans for the extensions will be submitted and approved by our Public
Works Director Kirk Rees as the development progresses.
Discussion:
Does the Planning Commission wish to recommend approval of the proposed Final Plat
of Calico Court.
