F. Street design should be sensitive to natural terrain and drainage networks.

G. Private streets shall not be allowed.

H. Grade separations between streets and railroads should be provided as new areas develop and older areas redevelop.

I. Streets and points of access onto arterial streets shall directly align and not be offset.

J. If a plat proposal requires new streets, the following shall apply:

1. The subdivider will pay the entire cost of any local street(s) and collector street(s) within the property to be subdivided.

2. If a street within a property to be subdivided is designated during the platting process as an arterial street, the subdivider shall construct the arterial street and the City of Harrisonville shall reimburse the subdivider an amount equal to the difference between the actual cost of the arterial street and a collector street as estimated by the City.

3. If a subdivision abuts an existing/planned collector or arterial roadway, the City may require the subdivider to construct the portion of the roadway that abuts the proposed subdivision.

4. There shall be an adequate number of points of ingress to and egress from the subdivision to ensure sound traffic engineering design, smooth traffic flow into and out of all portions of the subdivision (based upon the projected traffic generation from the subdivision and projected traffic on both existing and future streets adjacent to a subdivision) and the public's safety. In determining whether the subdivision provides for an adequate number of points of ingress and egress, all relevant factors shall be considered including, but not limited to, the following:

5. Residential subdivisions. As a general rule, one (1) point of ingress to and egress from the subdivision shall be required for each fifty (50) dwelling units in the subdivision. Each required point of ingress to and egress from the subdivision shall be located so as to best serve the traffic generated by the subdivision.

6. Non-residential subdivisions. The adequacy of the number of points of ingress to and egress from non-residential subdivisions shall be determined as a part of and based on the consideration of the site plan for the proposed development. The plat for such development shall show the same number of ingress and egress points as are shown on the approved site plan. If no site plan has been approved, all approvals of the preliminary plats shall be conditioned upon the final plat being consistent with the site plan with respect to the number of points of ingress to and egress from the subdivision.

7. General factors.

a. Traffic accumulation. The level of traffic using each point of ingress to and egress from the subdivision should not exceed the level of traffic that the type of street proposed (i.e., local, collector, etc.) is designed to accommodate according to the design standards included in Street Specifications and Standards published by the Kansas City Metropolitan Chapter of the American Public Works Association.

b. Access for emergency vehicles. The points of ingress to and egress from the subdivision should be adequate to ensure that emergency vehicles can gain access to all proposed uses within the subdivision whenever necessary.

c. Intersection of points of ingress to and egress from the subdivision with streets abutting the subdivision. The impact of injecting traffic from the proposed subdivision into the existing street network shall be mitigated by location, design and control measures consistent with the standards of traffic engineering.

d. Access to major street. The proposed subdivision or each section of the proposed subdivision with fifty (50) or more lots shall have direct access to a major street (i.e., collector or arterial) within or abutting the proposed subdivision; provided that, as provided in Section 410.490(E), access to individual lots shall not be allowed from an arterial or a limited-access collector in a residential development, if access from an interior street is available.

[Ord. No. 3638, 3-20-2023]

With respect to:

(1) A subdivision that is a portion of a larger area planned as a phased and related development and for which a master development plan (preliminary development plan) must be submitted with the preliminary plat of the area first to be subdivided, pursuant to Section 405.635; and

(2) To a final plat for a subdivision that covers an area that is less than that covered by the related preliminary plat.

The determination of the adequacy of points of ingress and egress shall be made independently for and considering the cumulative effect of each proposed phase of the development or subdivision, as the case may be.[1]

[Ord. No. 2766 §1(120.610), 4-1-2002; Ord. No. 3637, 3-20-2023]

Any plat may be vacated using the following procedures:

A. The record owner or owners of all property in the addition shall submit a written instrument, to which a copy of such plat shall be attached, declaring all or part of the same to be vacated and the applicant for vacation shall set forth in additional form that all record owners of such interest in the property have joined in the application. When lots have been sold, the owners of all the lots in such plat must join in the execution of such written instrument.

B. Such an instrument shall be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Aldermen in like manner as plats of subdivisions. The Board of Aldermen may reject any such instrument which abridges or destroys any public rights in any of its public uses, easements, improvements, streets or alleys or reserve such public rights in the vacation.

C. Such an instrument shall be executed, acknowledged or approved and recorded or filed in like manner as plats of subdivisions; and, being duly recorded or filed, shall operate to destroy the force and effect of all recording of the plat so vacated and to divest all public rights in the streets, alleys and public grounds and all dedications laid out or described in such plat except those that are reserved in such vacation.

Section 410.630 Dedication of Park Sites and Cash-In-Lieu Payments.

[Ord. No. 2766 §1(120.620), 4-1-2002]

A. Subdivision plats shall show dedication of land for park uses in the amount of the required parkland dedication prior to final plat approval at:

1. Locations designated in the adopted Comprehensive Plan.

2. Locations determined jointly by the subdivider and the City Administrator and reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission in consultation with Parks and Recreation Board.

B. When the required parkland dedication is less than four (4) acres, the City may require the open space to be located at a suitable place at the periphery of the subdivision so a more usable tract will result when additional open space is obtained when adjacent land is subdivided.

C. When the required parkland dedication is less than two (2) acres, then either the City Administrator may require the developer to pay or the developer may elect to pay, as a condition of final plat approval, a cash-in-lieu payment instead of land dedication.

D. If the subdivider and City Administrator are unable to agree upon the location of the land to be dedicated as required by this Section, then the Planning and Zoning Commission in consultation with Parks and Recreation Commission will require the subdivider to pay a cash-in-lieu payment instead of land dedication as a condition of final plat review.

E. The subdivider may, at the subdivider's sole option prior to the approval of the final plat, pay a cash-in-lieu payment instead of land dedication for park sites.

F. When the cash-in-lieu payment is made, the subdivider shall deposit with the City Administrator a cash payment without recourse or the right of recovery equal to the required parkland dedication multiplied by the current year's price for the calendar year in which the final plat is approved by the Board of Aldermen, less a credit that any land actually dedicated for park purposes bears to the required parkland dedication.

G. Such cash-in-lieu funds shall be used exclusively for the acquisition, development or improvement of public park generally within one-half (½) mile of the periphery of the subdivision for which they were paid.
