The motion was made by Commissioner Rimberger and seconded by Commissioner Wells.

City staff described the final plat as a replat of the northwest segment of the long-developing Spring Ridge subdivision. Staff said the parcel is about 22 acres, and that the plat will create predominantly single-family lots: 72 single-family lots, seven lots each planned for one duplex unit, and two larger lots planned to accommodate multiple duplexes (staff estimated about four or five duplexes on those larger lots). Staff noted that a prior zone change to the R3 district along the western boundary — approved in February 2004 and conditioned on platting — remains part of the project’s approvals.

Staff advised the commission that several minor corrections are required on the face of the plat, including clarifying the property owner’s legal name (the plat currently lists inconsistent ownership names) and updating the mayor’s name. Staff recommended four minor block-length and perimeter modifications because reconfiguring the streets to fully comply would not appreciably improve pedestrian access; staff also supported a modest extension of a cul-de-sac in the plat because pedestrian connections are still possible via a reserve. The commission agreed to forward the recommendation to council while leaving those modification requests in place for the council to consider.

Utilities and drainage were discussed: staff said sewer will be located in the rear of most lots and water in front. The applicant has been coordinating with Evergy on electric service; staff said the plan will shift service to front electric service in much of the subdivision except where rear electric service already exists. Drainage will rely largely on existing ponds east of Spring Ridge Drive; two reserves on the plat will provide limited drainage function. Staff also requested additional petition documents for sidewalk and drainage improvements, a map showing the phasing (the applicant proposes four phases, three of roughly 25–30 lots and one that contains the multifamily/duplex portion), and revisions to the developer’s agreement and restrictive covenants after city-attorney review.

The commission’s vote forwards staff’s recommendation to the City Council for final action; no members of the public spoke on the item at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Derby - Planning Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission voted 7-0 Aug. 21 to forward a recommendation of approval for the Spring Ridge Fourth Edition final plat to the City Council, subject to staff comments and required corrections to the plat and developer documents.","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},6506566,"Derby planning commission approves Sterling East preliminary plat, upholds block modification",437,83000,520000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5617562-d0352e8aaa2438f8fa725048721b7f76&start=83&end=520","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5617562-d0352e8aaa2438f8fa725048721b7f76/thumbnail_83000.jpg","/articles/6506566/Derby/Sedgwick-County/Kansas/Derby-planning-commission-approves-Sterling-East-preliminary-plat-upholds-block-modification","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506566-c7fd8a9627d67039733ce8588c77b216/orig.mp4?Expires=1770735392&Signature=DrgLEcNO-jtZXKngo4qQs0Hnx6Y7oU1sPGCZDoQafTqSz-E6CSVblpiqJkkpQayYER0YFwbaen~k3ZUxaaOM~Ya~DSdint9U4KRSqM1w-TVukNIV5TAZLBxBcDvEhxF~EFbbXSHE7RTT-59lG8ZMdroL-xSsKK6uDgNQgXCT3-1byFtGeYT6UArlFBiHhI1Hi3ZvVJarpakvl1XgvTm7ayJ20KMV-4SHRHZJnDY1hGVuF-otQiOgiLOjhU1zsFD2txo3BI2xbXIk8NTWPLwZPW7JZZ0e2JlVbxb8LsLYkMC0MR~upzviEs8lT39cBQyLWOYhk4ZXCNtFp2aLWIWABQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Derby Planning Commission on Aug. 21 approved the preliminary plat for Sterling East Second Edition, a replat that increases the number of lots in the subdivision and keeps a previously granted block-length modification for Block D. The motion carried 7-0 (moved by Commissioner Heflin; seconded by Commissioner Heseltine).

Assistant City Planner Everett Haynes said the subject property is at 7 Ninth Street South and lies inside Derby city limits. The replat under consideration covers an area that staff said was originally intended for two-family housing but — after a prior zone-change denial — is being subdivided into smaller single-family lots. Haynes said the replat for the subject area would increase its lots from 33 to 40 and raise the overall Sterling East subdivision lot count to 212.

The commission’s action also upheld a block-length modification previously granted in 2023 for Block D, which increases the block length beyond the limits in the city’s subdivision regulations by about 97 feet (roughly a 16% increase). If the commission had not upheld the modification, the applicant would have been required to provide a mid-block pedestrian connection to Reserve D, a detention reserve behind Block D, Haynes said. The commission voted to retain the earlier modification without requiring the additional pedestrian connection.

Haynes told commissioners that staff had asked the applicant to show lot sizes on the preliminary plat; the applicant updated the plat and staff confirmed all lots in the replat exceed the 6,000-square-foot minimum required in the R1A (urban density single-family) district. Staff also reported that a small portion of Reserve D will be absorbed into Lot 1, and after review staff and the applicant verified the reserve deed does not require replatting the entire reserve to allow that change.

On infrastructure, Haynes said sewer service for the new lots is proposed in the rear and water in the front, consistent with city standards; drainage will be directed to curb inlets and to the proposed detention basin (Reserve D), then conveyed via an existing culvert beneath 70 Ninth Street South toward Spring Creek. Chris Rose, identified as a representative of Baughman Companies, was present but no commissioners posed substantive follow-up questions.

The commission approved the preliminary plat subject to staff comments and directed the applicant to proceed with preparation of the final plat. There were no public-forum speakers on the item. Next procedural steps include the applicant preparing final-plat documents for staff review and subsequent city approvals.","The Derby Planning Commission voted 7-0 Aug. 21 to approve the preliminary plat for Sterling East Second Edition, allowing a replat that increases lots within the subdivision and upholds a previously granted block-length modification for Block D.","actionData","errors"]
