Background: City staff said the council approved a zone change for the property from R-1 to B-3 on Aug. 27, 2024. The approval required the final plat to be recorded within one year; the applicant’s intended user is no longer pursuing the site and the applicant requested additional time to secure a new user and proceed with platting.

Commissioner Heffler moved to approve the extension to Aug. 27, 2026; the motion was seconded and carried 7-0 (Adams, Ehman, Heflin, Hessletime, Quigley, Renberger, Voth).

Other business: the commission chair directed the committee responsible for the zoning and subdivision regulation review to meet again to develop recommended language on window signs and to work with staff and affected vendors prior to bringing a recommendation back to the full commission. The chair said the committee should move more quickly than the typical November schedule and consider screening and security uses for signs, noting public comment on the topic posted to the Derby Informer.

The extension preserves the zone-change approval while giving the applicant additional time to secure a user and complete final platting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Derby - Planning Commission Meeting - Apr 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission unanimously approved an extension to Aug. 27, 2026, for a zone-change applicant to record a final plat after the proposed user’s deal fell through; chair also directed committee work on window-sign regulation.","taxTitle","Derby, Sedgwick County, Kansas","taxId",56179,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6598279,"Planning commission approves one-step plat for Kirkland Addition, two lots in county subdivision jurisdiction",701,1376000,2077000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3045179-0579496383865038cea8d07a6600f613&start=1376&end=2077","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3045179-0579496383865038cea8d07a6600f613/thumbnail_1376000.jpg","/articles/6598279/Derby/Sedgwick-County/Kansas/Planning-commission-approves-one-step-plat-for-Kirkland-Addition-two-lots-in-county-subdivision-jurisdiction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6598279-68a68ee13098c9bc39c07b1cc0d639c4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157218&Signature=VB52bMVNea5zj7--z8utZgqKTez6Zd~S9EaYHsg1tIM6bEtWiDpxLohKpp8GLSdJwp-FY8PeQQCI6Z7WSdR0XSdI87SO9U0ycwuTMtudJiUNvQxvHO~y-gfJT8IkKHdii3SMCvLOeZ5472k86bbt413iVV5d7wc~AchbFDO64cD7-vQ3ejndl1sSFwNujfCfXe6oZ~GyGydouGk991IslvMAXeeaEancVjWE0pWkNLk7zs6ZSNxCCtFj~aISiSXkN8ckL~SAXlGuWc25GYE-hY1Ix3ZsuvBh8VSeYTl2BqmH1775qfwmXSkCt64tx3QtqKVz0Y-CwduVUJXweyZczw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Derby Planning Commission voted 7-0 Thursday to approve a one-step plat for the Kirkland Addition, a division of a larger parcel that will create two single-family lots within Sedgwick County but subject to Derby’s subdivision review procedures.

Why it matters: the plat will allow two separate home sites to be developed on a parcel that has been partly encumbered by historic pipeline and utility easements and significant mapped 1% flood hazard zones; the action clears the way for final plat recording once required easements and covenants are provided.

Assistant City Planner Everett Haynes summarized the plat and said the subject property is part of a larger government lot along the Arkansas River; the parcel was about 44 acres in total and the applicant proposes two residential lots served from Vassar Avenue through an access reserve and easement. Haynes said much of the property is in the 1% flood hazard area and that some building pads can be placed outside the floodplain but that building within the flood area would require separate FEMA and state flood‑plain permitting and possibly a letter of map amendment or revision if fill were used to raise a pad.

Thomas Joyce of Boffin Company, the applicant’s engineer, told the commission the plat has been the result of a multi-year process and that title work revealed multiple historic pipeline and utility easements that the utility companies currently characterize as abandoned, but for which formal releases are not always available. Joyce said the plat notes those easements for the record and the applicant is working with Kansas Gas Service and other utilities on releases.

Haynes said additional easements requested by the local water provider will be dedicated by the applicant and that both lots will be served by on-site alternate sanitary sewer systems, a typical arrangement for county plats.

Commissioner Voth moved to approve the one-step plat of the Kirkland Addition subject to staff comments and authorization to proceed to final plat tracing; Commissioner Heflin seconded. The commission voted 7-0 (Adams, Ehman, Heflin, Hessletime, Quigley, Renberger, Voth) to forward the recommendation for final recording and allowed the applicant to complete the required access easement and restricted covenants for the reserve that provides access from Vassar Avenue.

The staff report identifies required follow-up items including finalized access easement language, recording of restricted covenants that set ownership and maintenance for the access reserve, dedication of requested utility easements and confirmation or release documentation for legacy pipeline easements.","The commission voted 7-0 to approve a one-step plat creating two single-family lots in the Kirkland Addition, subject to staff comments and required easement and covenant recordings; the site contains significant 1% flood hazard areas and several historic easement notations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6598282,"Derby planning commission recommends county conditional use for riding academy on South Greenwich Road",1180,164000,1344000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3045179-0579496383865038cea8d07a6600f613&start=164&end=1344","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3045179-0579496383865038cea8d07a6600f613/thumbnail_164000.jpg","/articles/6598282/Derby/Sedgwick-County/Kansas/Derby-planning-commission-recommends-county-conditional-use-for-riding-academy-on-South-Greenwich-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6598282-d7458ab34fb43750ad3f99bdddc440d3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157218&Signature=LNNaki8zoObNcd0rccd3PViyjBHB1q66PoZdMUyuk-mgfG~O7h-2tYJz1KXCJY6d7~4PmqoJ6785uwZRjgu6zcgy8W~ArBlcS3rM~Ubz7jW4zQmtBfCM4ZOsX124prYCs01PQFS6LKZv4pvVI4vMZMB7VoaaMAkk37NKFycuUtu~j~GDfWF2srv8KfpzdcSx5Fw5H7JCQN9TBJjcqVODfy7NrLIweyGLiAiOSMQMAvdXnDa3HsJC7x~nnp4SieDF0klUlEOHHFcDbzFFmSMMpOmHmWf9-k7ZOZfHXL7nl-iHIashWrKAJ8zoGbdUvlfeK2eSAZdTQ8AMgNwB8zIUkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Derby Planning Commission voted 7-0 Thursday to recommend approval of a county conditional use for a riding academy and stable at 199217 South Greenwich Road, forwarding the application to the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission for final action.

Commissioners heard an overview from Everett Haynes, assistant city planner, who said the property lies in unincorporated Sedgwick County but within Derby’s area of influence and is zoned rural residential, where riding academies and stables are allowed only with a county conditional use. Haynes described the subject property as part of a larger parcel and said the conditional-use area occupies roughly 40 acres of a 110-acre tract. Notices for the hearing were mailed April 9, published April 10 in the Ark Valley News and signs were posted on-site April 11; the MAPC hearing is scheduled for April 24.

Why it matters: a county conditional use affects land use and potential nuisances for nearby rural-residential neighbors and will remain a county-regulated use unless annexed. Commissioners tied their recommendation to operational conditions intended to limit neighborhood impacts.

City staff and the applicant described the proposal and the likely neighborhood impacts. Everett Haynes said the location is predominantly agricultural and large-lot residential and that staff believed the proposed use is an appropriate fit for the area given surrounding barns, paddocks and buffers. Christina Reed of planning staff said, “Staff has determined that, we expect that any impact to public roads and services should be minimal.”

The applicant’s agent, Greg Farris, spoke for the property owner and said they agreed with the staff report but asked the commission to allow extended hours on Friday and Saturday nights so occasional horse shows could run later in summer months. Farris said, “We concur with everything in the staff report... We would like to be able on Friday and Saturday night to have those operation hours be till midnight.” He estimated such events would be limited to about five or six per year in addition to routine lessons and boarding.

A neighbor, Kathy Massey, who lives north of the site, said she and other nearby residents supported the operation but asked the applicant to address light spill from the barn. Massey told the commission she had “absolutely no objection” to the facility overall but asked that lights be shielded so they would not shine into her home at night.

Commission discussion focused on the hours and lighting. Commissioners and staff agreed to include MAPD’s recommended conditions and to allow limited late hours on Fridays and Saturdays while requiring measures to reduce light spill, particularly from the north side of the barn.

Commissioner Renberger moved to adopt the findings of fact and recommend approval of the conditional use for a riding academy and stable at 199217 South Greenwich Road, including the agreed hours and lighting conditions; Commissioner Hesitine seconded. The commission voted 7-0 (Adams, Ehman, Heflin, Hessletime, Quigley, Renberger, Voth) to forward a recommendation of approval to the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission with the stated conditions.

The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission will consider the conditional use and the commission’s recommended conditions on April 24. If the property is ever annexed into Derby, staff noted the county conditional use status would remain in effect but could be restricted under city regulations at annexation.","The commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of a county conditional use to allow a riding academy and stable at 199217 S.
