Overland Park Planning Commission Meeting April 8, 2002 Page 23 Mr. Bear said the applicant is requesting approval of a 7-lot preliminary plat for an office park. The plat also contains rights-of-way for the Benson Street cul-de-sac required for this project as stipulated by the rezoning. The plat contains 7 lots, each containing a future office building. Tract A is a landscape tract that is intended to be dedicated to the Wellington Park Homes Association. Mr. Bear said the tract will be dedicated after the landscaping and grass seed is in place and sprinklers are installed. The homes association will be responsible for maintenance of the property. He said staff is not opposed to the homes association owning and maintaining the landscape tract, however, staff has not yet received a letter from the homes association expressing their intent to own and maintain the property. Mr. Bear relayed that staff recommends there be an end resolution as to the ownership of this tract before proceeding with this plat. As relayed in Staff Comments, Tracts, B, C, and D are access drives that are intended to owned and maintained by the Wincrest Development Association. Mr. Bear advised that in the past, staff has recommended that access drives not be in separate tracts. Rather, where possible they should be incorporated into the adjoining lots and separate access easements be dedicated for the driveways. He explained that the purpose is for maintenance and ownership of those driveways. For a small office development such as this one, there is a possibility that the business association will not materialize or may disband after a few years. Mr. Bear relayed that if that happens it becomes very difficult for the City to enforce property maintenance requirements on a business association that may not exist. Furthermore, small access tracts such as these can easily be sold and sometimes end up under the ownership of a third party, especially if taxes are not paid on the tracts. Mr. Bear indicated that the ownership pattern can result in future access problems for the owners of the office lots. For those reasons, staff recommends that the access driveways be platted as a part of the adjacent office lots and dedicated as separate easements instead. Mr. Bear stated that staff recommends this item be continued, and the applicant be directed to revise the plat as he just mentioned. Staff further recommends that an end resolution of the tract for the homes association, with a letter of intent from the homes association to accept the tract, be obtained before preceding with this item. Staff has included stipulations a and b, shown in Staff Comments, should the Planning Commission find the proposed layout acceptable. Mr. John Petersen, applicant, said both stipulations are acceptable. With regard to this property being deeded to the homes association, Mr. Petersen advised that there was a member of the homes association present. For the record, he stated emphatically that it is the applicant’s intent to deed this property to the homes association as agreed between the parties. From a legal standpoint, Mr. Petersen said the City has no authority to require the applicant to give the property to the neighbor- hood. Therefore, to wait for a letter from the neighbors is so far a field of the statutory requirements of a plat, it should be disregarded. He said the applicant wants to give it to the homes association, who may or may not want it. If the homes association does not want it, Mr. Petersen said it will remain a common, landscaped, irrigated common area of the office project and will be maintained by the office park association.
