Planning Commission
I'm sure there are many of you that want to keep tabs on Planning Commission actions on the property at 3308 West 71st Street.
To that end, I see that there are several issues with this property before the Planning Commission tomorrow, March7.
Although this is not a "Public Hearing" per se, you absolutely may attend. But since it is not a Public Hearing" you might not be asked to speak. The only opinions welcomed or heard will be those specifically requested by the Planning Commission members. Although this is an Open Meeting where anyone from the public can attend, our ordinances (which largely reflect Kansas Statute) do not require a Public Hearing for a building line modification or replatting wherein citizens can come forward to express their thoughts.
I do know that the Planning Commission is aware that there is a potential issue with the apparently unapproved changing of the structure's elevation. This elevation change will be part of the discussion tomorrow night.
However, I have to set expectations that at the moment, Prairie Village does not regulate how people's houses look. Some of these issues are routinely administrative. It does appear as though the homeowner has failed to follow procedure in several cases, however, it does not guarantee that permission to do some of the things he wants to do will be denied.
I have no indication that the Planning Commission will go either way. I just think that the elevation issue may have more to do with drainage and safety issues than aesthetics.
I will get an update with all due haste after the meeting and send everyone a note when I've posted that update here.
