Findings
1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning district of RR 5; Rural Residential, 5-acre
minimum size parcel.
2. The property is not within a sewer district boundary or is within 660 feet of the incorporated limits of a
municipality; therefore, a waiver to the requirement to connect to a public sewage system. A house
exists on Lot 14 and has a private sewage system. A private sewage disposal permit may be issued
per Leavenworth County Sanitary Code requirements.
Staff Comments
This is the proposed replat of Lots 11 and 12 of Brandon Height Second Plat. These Lots were a replat of
Brandon Heights Lots 5 & 6. The same person owned Lots 5 & 6 and a house on the western portion of Lot
6. They wanted to construct a new house on a bigger lot so they replatted the lots into a 5 acre and a 15 acre
lot. They had separate mortgages for each lot. These mortgages were never revised to reflect the new legal
descriptions. When the property was foreclosed, the banks realized the mortgages and deeds did not match.
The owner of the proposed Lot 13 submitted a one lot plat so they could sell the land they owned. This would
have resulted in a landlocked parcel and the request was continued at the July 9, 2014 Planning
Commission meeting. The owners have reached an agreement and are proceeding with the 2-lot Plat. This
plat would return the lots back to the original configuration.
Staff finds the proposed plat acceptable and supports the waiver to the requirement to connect to a public
sewage system.

Staff Comments
The proposed plat is a 1-lot subdivision. The owners are platting the parcel in order to bring the property into
compliance. The parcel was created by deed with a Certificate of Survey in 2008 by a previous owner.
Therefore, it is considered a non-compliant parcel and is currently not entitled to building permits.
The owners would like to build a single-family residence on the property. In order to acquire building permits,
the property must be brought into compliance with the Leavenworth County Zoning & Subdivision
Regulations by platting the parcel.
