The Emporia-Lyon County Metropolitan Area Planning Commission will be busy with its meeting Tuesday.
Board members have two items connected to property north of 18th Avenue and east of Road G, a request for a preliminary plat or property layout and a request to rezone the property north of Frontier Farm Credit and west of the Jones Aquatic Center. This has the Planning Commission revisiting a plan for the proposed Cedarbrook Meadows housing development, which has been presented as a 120-home project over 30 acres at 4500 West 18th along with another eight acres for a currently-unspecified commercial project. The Planning Commission has already asked for larger lot sizes as part of a 100-home development; project organizers are asking the board to reconsider the original request.
Separate rezoning requests are up for consideration at 1610 Prairie and 1002 Trusler.
Before the Planning Commission meeting, the Joint Board of Zoning Appeals will consider a variance request from the city’s “signage and glazing requirements.” Quik Trip is in the process of getting approval for building designs and signage. The variance, if approved, would let Quik Trip have a similar sign height to nearby businesses that have successfully gone through the variance process.
The meeting slate begins at 6 pm Tuesday at the Municipal Court Room.
