Allen Bell Financial Projects Director reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0514. The City Counsel has previously adopted written policies governing the use of industrial revenue bonds (“IRBs”) and property tax abatements as incentives to spur growth in employment and economic development in the Wichita area. On May 2, 2000, the Council approved the schedule for implementation of various redevelopment incentives identified by a staff task force, with public input, for the purpose of encouraging the redevelopment and adaptive reuse of older areas of the City. The first incentive on the schedule is the revision of IRB and tax abatement policies to allow tax exemption of new multi-family housing developments in the targeted area. The City’s Industrial Revenue Bond Policy identifies the various types of projects for which IRBs may be issued, including manufacturing and distribution facilities, hospital, medical and assisted living facilities, downtown development, hotels and motels, child care facilities, parking structures and speculative facilities. New housing developments are limited to the downtown area, defined as being bounded by Kellogg on the south, Seneca on the west, Murdock on the north and Washington on the east. The proposed revision to the IRB Policy will extend the area in which IRBs may be issued to finance new multi- family housing developments to the redevelopment incentive target area recommended by the staff task force. The boundaries of this area are Pawnee on the south, Highway I-235 on the west, 25th Street North on the north and Oliver on the east. In addition, it is proposed that the Local Investment Areas from the adopted Neighborhood Revitalization Area Program be eligible for IRB financing of new multi-family housing developments. This will allow coverage of Planeview, Hilltop and Orchard Breeze that are not within the recommended target area. The Business Incentive Plan sets forth the procedures and policies governing the abatement of property taxes, including the types of eligible businesses. The proposed revision to the Business Incentive Policy will add new multi-family housing developments to the list of eligible businesses. The financial impact of the policy revisions is unknown because it is not possible to project the number of projects that will take advantage of this incentive. The amount of City property taxes exempted for a typical $5,000,000 project would be $17,250 per year. County taxes exempted would be approximately $16,500 and $24,150 for USD 259. Council Member Lambke Council Member Lambke suggested the boundary on the south be changed to the natural boundary at I-35 and the Arkansas River. Council Member Rogers Council Member Rogers requested that he be involved in specifics in the future. Council Member Pisciotte Council Member Pisciotte suggested adoption, in concept, and that Staff be asked to return with scaling and tiering. Allen Bell Financial Projects Director, responding to a question regarding possible competition to current investors, said the overriding concern is to avoid further deterioration of the City. This is the philosophy of the Redevelopment Policy. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- Pisciotte moved that the proposed revisions to the Industrial Revenue Bond Policy and Business Incentive Policy -- carried be approved in concept; and Staff report back with incentives. Motion carried 7 to 0. PUBLIC SAFETY SYS. INTEGRATED PUBLIC SAFETY SYSTEM. Ray Trail Director of Finance reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0515. The current Public Safety computer system has been in use since 1989. This system was purchased from Litton/PRC Public Sector, Inc. In April 1998 the City contracted to migrate to PRC’s Advanced Records Interface (ARI) product. The product provided a Graphical User Interface that would be used with the existing database. In February of this year a decision was made to discontinue the ARI project for several reasons. The Police Department received a grant to implement a National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) which could not be accomplished with the ARI product. ORACLE announced their discontinued support on the VAX hardware platform currently in use by the Public Safety System. In addition, PRC discontinued actively marketing the ARI product and had no plans for future system enhancements including the migration to the City’s standard WindowsNT operating system and the latest versions of ORACLE. As a result, a project team consisting of 4 individuals from the Municipal Court, Data Center, and Police Department was established to research and select a company to implement a new Integrated Public Safety System. The project team researched over 75 potential vendors through various resources such as PTI, National Center for State Courts, KBI, peer cities, and SEARCH, (The National Consortium for Justice Information and Statistics). A response to a Request for Proposal was received from six companies. The evaluation process included on-site product demonstrations and site visits by Municipal Court, Police, Data Center and Law Department staff. The following requirements were established for a public safety system: ? It must fully integrate Police, Municipal Court, and Prosecutor’s Office ? It must be NIBRS compliant. ? It must function within the City’s standard of WindowsNT and ORACLE database. ? It must meet the approval of the MIS Team Based upon these requirements, the Police Department, Municipal Court and Law are recommending that the City contract with TRW, Inc., to implement the City’s Integrated Public Safety System. TRW is a large, international company headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. During the past ten years the company has become a recognized leader in public safety design and implementation. TRW offers a centralized solution allowing system information to be shared and utilized by Police, Prosecution, and Court. The company’s product streamlines data entry by utilizing bar code and driver’s license scanning, imaging, and Internet technology. TRW’s technology allows for the electronic transfer of information and data between departments as well as outside agencies and includes workflow processing; thus eliminating the need for paper to pass from individual to individual. Customer service will be improved as payment, court date and various other notification processes are part of the applications. TRW Inc.’s experience, dedication, and technological expertise meets the needs of the City today; and TRW is committed to continue to meet the needs of the City in the future. The total cost of this project is not to exceed $1.75 million. Funding for this cost is available as follows: Project Finances – Sources and Uses of Funds Sources of Funds $ 192,000 BJA grant 50,000 PRC contract savings 468,577 Bond forfeiture 526,000 DL reinstatement 250,000 Self-insurance 263,423 DC System Replacement $1,750,000 Uses of Funds $1,182,102 TRW software and installation 186,790 Oracle database licenses 211,616 Server & Hardware 23,939 CJIS 4,410 Batch software 38,400 Terrenet support 102,743 Contingency $1,750,000 Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared.

DESIGNATION OF PREFERRED DEVELOPER. (Districts I and II) Allen Bell Financial Projects Director reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 0516. The City has received a proposal from a developer requesting designation as the City’s preferred developer for the purpose of redeveloping an area of east Wichita in the vicinity of Central and Oliver. The developer proposes a letter agreement be entered into which prescribes a structured process for elaborating details of the project and arriving at a formal agreement for the redevelopment of the proposed area. The proposed developer is JD Investors LLC of Chicago. The proposed redevelopment area includes approximately 13 acres of land and is located near the intersection of Central Avenue and Oliver Street in east Wichita. The proposed redevelopment project will consist of the development of leaseable commercial space. The proposed letter agreement sets forth a two-phase process. The development-planning phase will develop details of the proposed project and will include planning for the use of tax increment financing (“TIF”), land assemblage, utility relocation, traffic improvements and plans and specifications for commercial developments. The development agreement phase will involve negotiation of public and private financing arrangements, approval of a TIF redevelopment plan and standard legal details. The proposed term of the letter agreement is eight months from the approval by the City Council to finalize the developer agreement. The proposed letter agreement further provides a term of two-and-a-half years from approval for full completion of the redevelopment project. It has been the City’s policy in designating preferred developers generally to provide a 30-day public notice in order to allow the opportunity for alternative proposals to be presented prior to the designation of preferred developer becoming effective. There are no financial obligations of the City arising from the approval of the letter agreement designating JD Investors LLC as preferred developer. Allen Bell Financial Projects Director said the exact size of the area of the project is driven somewhat by the size of the development proposed. Chris Cherches City Manager explained that the idea is for any developer to submit a proposal with boundaries the developer thinks is economically feasible and would be conducive to the proposed project. The City Council could, then, choose the desired project. Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared. Motion -- Pisciotte moved that publication of the public notice of intent to designate JD Investors LLC as preferred developer, and execution of the letter Agreement 30 days following such publication, subject to final review and approval by the City Attorney o non-substantive changes to the language of the Letter of Intent, be approved; and -- carried the necessary signatures be authorized. Motion carried 7 to 0. COUNCIL CHAMBER CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER REMODEL. Chris Cherches City Manager reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0517. On November 19, 1996, the City Council approved an Agreement with Electronic Interiors, Inc. (EII), St. Paul, Minnesota, to provide services to design architectural changes to the Council Chambers which included updating electronic systems for improved presentation and communication capabilities. The programming and schematic design under this Contract has been completed. Also, due to their existing Contracts on other remodeling projects at City Hall, on March 26, 1999, an Agreement was made to involve Schaefer Johnson Cox and Frey, Architects (SJCF), to work with EII on the design aspects of the project. It has now been determined the most expeditious method to complete this project is for SJCF to be the prime Consultant and EII to be a sub-consultant to SJCF. A not-to-exceed Contract with SJCF in the amount of $109,730 for fees and reimbursables is proposed to complete the design development, bid documents, and construction administration for the project is proposed. Funds for the project, including the professional services Contract, have been transferred into a project from General Fund reserves.

Motion carried 7 to 0. WATER PAMPHLET WATER CONSERVATION EDUCATION PAMPHLET. Chris Cherches City Manager reviewed the Item and recommended that Option #1 be selected and the remaining distribution options be explored. Agenda Report No. 00-0518. The City Council adopted a water conservation plan on December 3, 1991. On August 31, 1993, the Council Members adopted the Integrated Water Supply Plan, and have since approved updates of this plan. Water conservation strategies are an integral component of how this community manages and works to extend its water supply. Wichita citizens routinely double their summer water use with home and business lawn watering. Many customers then call the Water & Sewer Department seeking ways to lower their water bills. Providing lawn watering and maintenance tips is a proactive way of helping people bring their water bills into line, as well as protecting Wichita water sources. Last year a pamphlet promoting water conservation was distributed as an insert in the Wichita Eagle (July 3, 1999). A bright self-stick not on the front page directed people to look for the insert in their newspaper. Staff recommends the outreach continue and be expanded by using the Total Market Coverage plan. Under the Total Market Coverage plan, the educational insert would be placed in a daily paper, and it would be mailed on a Wednesday to all households in Sedgwick County along with local advertisement flyers. If Council Members decide to have the pamphlet go out to citizens, they have two choices: 1) continue with a newspaper insert only; or 2) choose to take advantage of the Total Market Coverage option. The area covered would be all of Sedgwick County. 1) Pamphlet printing & distribution in newspaper only. $13,373 2) Total Market Coverage (printing, newspaper & mailing ) $19,910 Mayor Knight Mayor Knight inquired whether anyone wished to be heard and no one appeared.

CARMEL (Districts IV & VI) W.B. Carter Construction Company, Inc. has subcontracted with Cornejo & Sons, Inc. to install the stormwater system improvements identified in the project to reconstruct Central between Meridian and West Street. The Contractor is installing a 7’ x 4’ reinforced concrete box (RCB) culvert in the south side of Central and is nearing the railroad crossing east of Zoo Boulevard. The Contractor is requesting a 3-day closure of Central, between Zoo Boulevard and Mt. Carmel, as allowed by the project plans and specifications, from approximately 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 2nd until approximately 4:00 p.m. Monday, June 5th. During the design process it was noted that the installation of the 7' x 4' RCB culvert was going to be especially difficult and expensive at the railroad crossing east of Zoo Boulevard. The depth of excavation is near 20 feet, the soil is sandy, the RCB sections are extremely heavy due to the additional size and strength required under a railroad track and the contractor would have to support the railroad track to allow daily train movements which would be extremely difficult and dangerous. Because the railroad crossing would be reconstructed at some time during the street reconstruction project, it was negotiated with the railroad to schedule their crossing reconstruction to coincide with the installation of the RCB at the crossing area with the Contractor. This joint effort and cooperation will now allow the drainage Contractor to install this section of the RCB in a much more efficient and safe manner. The present reconstruction of Central between Meridian and I-235 allows only one lane of traffic in each direction. Although the proposed closure period will extend into Monday, an efficient detour during the weekend and on Monday morning with early afternoon traffic using the identified detour streets. Central will be reopened to traffic at or before 4:00 p.m. Monday after the railroad installs a new crossing and the paving Contractor makes the necessary pavement connections. During the Closure, Central Street traffic will be detoured as follows: Eastbound Central will use Sheridan, Second Street and Meridian Westbound Central will use St. Paul, Second Street and Sheridan Although traffic could also use the Central detour, Zoo Boulevard traffic will be encouraged to use Ninth Street and McLean Boulevard during the Central Street Closure.

STREET CLOSURE STREET CLOSURE: LINCOLN STREET, ONE-FOURTH MILE EAST OF OLIVER (District II & III) Agenda Report No. 00-0540. Utility Contractors, Inc. has contracted to reconstruct the Lincoln Street Bridge over Dry Creek ( ¼ mile east of Oliver). The existing multiple cell reinforced concrete box structure will be removed and replaced with three span bridge. The Contractor is requesting the complete Closure of Lincoln at the bridge site from June 1, 2000 until approximately December 1, 2000. The specifications identify June 1, 2000 as the earliest start date and project completion on or before December 1, 2000. The Contractor is responsible for construction barricades, detour signing, and notification of affected businesses and residents. During the Closure, Lincoln Street traffic will be detoured as follows: Eastbound Lincoln: Oliver - Harry - Edgemoor - Lincoln Westbound Lincoln: Edgemoor - Harry - Oliver - Lincoln Pedestrian traffic using Lincoln can cross the creek using the pedestrian bridge approximately 300 feet south of Lincoln.

Hess Pump Station was constructed in 1973 and serves as the main pump station to create water pressure in the City’s distribution system. On August 5, 1997, the City Council authorized a project to automate the controls for the pumps at that site. The project was deferred so that attention could be given to Y2K issues at Water and Sewer Department facilities. The Purchasing Manager has solicited responses for a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a design/build project to automate the operation of the pumps at Hess, the 37th St., and the Webb Road pump stations. Proposals included an engineering study to determine the best control scheme, modification to existing pressure monitoring sites, improvements to the current SCADA system used to monitor and operate the pumps, and enhancements to the three pump stations’ control systems. Responses were received from three firms: A.W. Schultz, Inc.; R.E. Pedrotti Company, Inc.; and TEC Information Services. Based on responses, Staff recommends TEC Information Services. The proposal submitted by TEC Information Services is for $210,495. While not the lowest cost, TEC’s proposal was the most responsive to the requirements. Funding for this project is included in the CIP W-410, Computer Controls for Hess Pump Station, which has a funding allocation of $250,000. City Council authorization is required for projects that exceed $10,000. Motion -- Knight moved that the Agreement/Contract be approved and the necessary signatures be authorized.

(Cole abstained) COMPUTER/DATA COMPUTER EQUIPMENT AND MAINTENANCE – SELECTION OF VENDOR. Agenda Report No. 00-0526. The City purchases computer equipment and maintenance services through a bid process based on each requirement. To secure volume pricing/discounts, staff explored securing a master contract for computer purchases in 1996 and re-evaluated the program for 2000. A competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) for computer equipment and maintenance was sent to 49 vendors with 7 responses received. A staff screening and selection committee consisting of the Assistant Director of Finance, the Acting Data Center Director, the Purchasing Manager and a Buyer, reviewed and evaluated the proposals. Business Computer Center’s (BCC) proposal contains labor pricing of $30.00 per hour for on-site works with a next day response, and a carry-in rate of $20.00 an hour for service. A delivery/set-up fee of $30.00 will be charged on new purchases and includes preinstalled software per City specifications. Computer equipment purchases will be billed at cost plus 4% above dealers landed pricing. BCC will provide telephone support for hardware purchases at no additional cost, and handle the disposal of obsolete or replacement equipment for 40% of the revenue received through the sales from auction. The contract does not obligate the City to any specific purchase or volume of purchases; it only provides a means to carry out City initiated purchases at the lowest net cost. The contract will not preclude the City from utilizing any County, State, or League of Municipalities contracts available. Computer equipment and maintenance service costs are within departmental operating budgets.

CHENEY CHENEY DAM REPAIR – CHANGE ORDER NO. 1. Agenda Report No. 00-0527. Cheney Reservoir is a vital component of the City's water supply system. In 1998 it provided over 65% of the City's water supply. On April 27, 1999, the City Council approved a project to make repairs to the face of Cheney Dam and approved an amendment to the CIP to allow up to $500,000 in funding for the design and construction of needed repairs. On October 15, 1999, the City entered a Contract with Dondlinger and Sons Construction to repair the face of the dam. The original Contract amount was $323,706. At the time the Contract was issued, it was known that there were sites on the face of Cheney Dam where there was damage to the soil-cement slope protection. The damage was caused by wave action and freeze-thaw activity. The extent of the repairs could not be determined until the reservoir was lowered by at least four feet. The lowering was done after the Contract had been initiated, thus allowing further damage to be observed. Repairing these sites increased the initial cost estimate. Change Order #1 will cover the additional 1300 cubic yard of concrete to repair the sites and the cost of testing the concrete. Approval of Change Order No. 1 will increase the total price by $65,882 and result in a revised Contract for $389,588. Funding for this project is included in CIP W-809, Cheney Dam Repairs, which has available funds of $500,000. City Council approval is required for Change Orders over $10,000.

ACQUISITION OF 451 WAVERLY FOR THE EAST KELLOGG IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. (District II) Agenda Report No. 00-0529. In October of 1998, staff was instructed to pursue opportunity purchases in the Kellogg corridor. Opportunity purchases arise when an owner contacts the City and indicates a willingness to sell their property. The owners of 451 Waverly, Donald and Janice Harter, have expressed an interest in selling this property to the City. The site contains 10,725 square feet and is improved with a 1,985 square foot brick, ranch-style single family residence. The property has three bedrooms and 1 3/4 baths. The planned expansion of Kellogg will require the removal of the improvements and utilization of the entire site. The property was appraised at $129,000. The owner has agreed to accept this amount for the property. Early acquisition will avoid future relocation and moving expenses. The property appears to be in good condition with no deferred maintenance noted. The Capital Improvement Program includes funds for opportunity acquisitions.

GYPSUM CREEK KDHE GRANT – GYPSUM CREEK STREAM RESTORATION. (Districts II and III) Report No. 00-0530. As the result of work by a community-wide committee interested in reducing nonpoint source pollution in the Wichita area, the Kansas Department of Health & Environment (KDHE) has offered the City of Wichita a $250,000 Grant. The Grant is to be matched by $166,667 in local funds or resources, to undertake a project which will demonstrate the restoration of an urban stream (Gypsum Creek) through the application of nonpoint source pollution control and other water quality protection measures in the watershed. The project will result in the protection and restoration of the water quality of Gypsum Creek. The project will be divided into two phases. The first phase will include a watershed analysis, which will look at existing water quality, nonpoint pollutant sources, and protection measures that can be used to improve water quality. The second phase will design and construct the selected protection measures. The project will help the City comply with some of its current and upcoming environmental obligations, including our Storm Water Management Program and Total Daily Maximum Loads. The project costs would be broken down as follows: Phase Budget Year KDHE Share City Share Total Cost Watershed Analysis 2000 $ 95,000 $ 63,333 $158,333 Design Construction 2001 $155,000 $103,334 $258,334 Total Costs $250,000 $166,667 $416,667 The Grant Agreement covers the watershed analysis only with a Grant period of May 1, 2000 through February 28, 2002. The design and construction phase will be the subject of a future Grant Agreement once the watershed analysis is completed.

(District IV) Marvin Krout Director of Planning reviewed the Item. Agenda Report No. 00-0534. MAPC Recommendation: Approve “NO” Neighborhood Office on east 50 feet (13-0). DAB Recommendation: Approve “OW” Office Warehouse on north half of subject property subject to a Protective Overlay limiting uses to construction, sales, and contracting uses. Staff Recommendation: Deny. The applicant requests a zone change from “MF-29” Multi-Family Residential to “OW” Office Warehouse on a 0.32 acre platted tract located south of Kellogg and west of Seneca (1117 & 1121 W. Dayton). The applicant proposes to convert the single-family residence at 1117 W. Dayton into an office and to construct a 2,000 to 3,000 square foot warehouse in the rear yard of both addresses for use by an electrical contracting business owned by the applicant. Access to the site would be from a paved alley running north from Dayton and parallel to Seneca. The applicant has indicated that he has an informal agreement with the adjoining commercial property to the east for access across their property to Seneca. The surrounding area is primarily developed with single-family residences. The only commercial business in the immediate area is adjacent to the subject property to the east. Property to the north, south, and west of the site is zoned “MF-29” Multi-Family Residential and is developed primarily with single-family residences with a few duplexes interspersed. Property to the east of the site is zoned “LC” Limited Commercial and is developed with a tavern (Old English Pub). Off-street parking requirements in the Unified Zoning Code are 1 space per 250 square feet of office area and 1 space per 1,000 square feet of warehouse area. The applicant has indicated that he has an informal agreement with the adjoining commercial property to the east for off-site parking. Without a variance, the Unified Zoning Code permits no more than 50% of the required parking to be located off-site. Screening requirements in the Unified Zoning Code are decorative fencing, evergreen vegetation, or landscaped earth berms where adjacent to or across the street from residential zoning districts. In addition to screening, the Landscape Ordinance requires buffer tree planting along rear and side boundaries where adjacent to residential zoning districts. The District Advisory Board for Council District IV heard the case on April 5, 2000. At the hearing, the DAB recommended approval of “OW” Office Warehouse zoning for the north half of the subject property subject to a Protective Overlay limiting uses to construction, sales, and contracting uses. At the MAPC hearing on April 13, 2000, a motion was made to approve “OW” Office Warehouse for the portion of the subject property proposed for non-residential uses subject to the conditions of a Protective Overlay limiting uses to construction sales and service, office, and warehousing and requiring a 20 foot setback on the east property line for parking. This motion resulted in a moot vote (6-6), that would have resulted in a failure to recommend approval to the City Council. A second motion was made to approve “NO” Neighborhood Office zoning on the east half of the subject property, which was then followed by a substitute motion for a two-week deferral. The substitute motion for a two-week deferral passed 7-5. At the MAPC hearing on April 27, 2000, a motion was made to approve “OW” Office Warehouse for the portion of the subject property proposed for non-residential uses subject to the conditions of a Protective Overlay limiting uses to construction sales and service, office, and warehousing and requiring a 20 foot setback on the east property line for parking. This motion failed 8-5. A second motion was made to approve “OW” Office Warehouse for the portion of the subject property proposed for non-residential uses subject to the conditions of a Protective Overlay limiting uses to construction sales and service, office, and warehousing; requiring a 20 foot setback on the east property line for parking; requiring a 6 foot high masonry wall along the east, south, and west property lines; requiring a 12 foot high screening fence for any outdoor storage area; and requiring a landscape plan providing trees every 15 feet along the east, south, and west property lines. This motion failed 7-6. A third motion was made to approve “NO” Neighborhood Office for the east 50 feet of the subject property where the applicant currently operates an office in a single-family residence. This motion passed 13-0. Mayor Knight momentarily absent with Vice Mayor Lambke in the Chair.

(District II) Agenda Report No. 00-0535. Staff Recommendation: Approve the street name change. MAPC Recommendation: Approve the street name change. The Wichita-Sedgwick County Address Committee was created in 1994 to avoid and correct street naming and addressing problems being discovered as a result of increasing growth in the County and of using the Geographic Information System (GIS) maps and databases. This street, located in a newly annexed area, is being renamed to avoid confusion caused by another street in the City of Wichita also named Stratford. A meeting was held in January to review this street name change. At the March meeting, the committee voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend use of the name of “Stratford Row” for this street. All affected property owners were notified, and no one appeared to object. Motion -- Knight moved that the street name change be approved and the Ordinance be placed on first reading. Motion -- carried carried 7 to 0. ORDINANCE An Ordinance changing the name of Stratford Street to Stratford Row, adjacent to Lots 11-19, Block 1; and Lots 1- 2 and 11-13, Block 2, Brookhaven Estates Second Addition (15000 Block of East Stratford), introduced and under the rules laid over. A 00-10 A 00-10 – REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION OF PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF MACARTHUR ROAD AND EAST OF WEST STREET, TO THE CITY OF WICHITA, KANSAS. (District IV) Agenda Report No. 00-0536. The City has received a request to annex a 2.58-acre area situated north of MacArthur Road and east of West Street. The northern and eastern boundaries of the site abut the current City limits. The property owner is planning to prepare a final plat of the property with 1 single-family home and 1 manufactured home currently on the site, which is to be replaced later with a second single-family home. The Metropolitan Planning Commission approved the final plat of the development on December 16, 1999. Analysis: Land Use and Zoning: The annexation site consists of one (1) undeveloped contiguous tract of land zoned “SF- 20” Single Family Residential. Land to the south and west of the site is zoned “SF-20” Single Family Residential. Land to the north and east of the site is zoned “SF-6” Single Family Residential. Upon annexation, the “SF-20” Single Family Residential zoning of the subject property will convert to “SF-6” Single Family Residential. Public Services: The City Water and Sewer Department indicates that the subject property will have access to a 12 inch water main that is along the MacArthur Road right-of-way, between West Street and Meridian. As for sewer, the property proposed for annexation will have access to City sewer via a 16-inch line along the West Street right- of-way. Street System: The site has immediate access to MacArthur Road, a two lane paved section line road that serves the area as the nearest major east-west road. The site will also have access to West Street, a two-lane paved section line road, as well as Meridian, a two-lane paved section line road. These two streets serve the area as the nearest major north-south roads. Currently, there are plans to improve MacArthur from Seneca to Meridian in the City of Wichita 2000-2009 C.I.P., with construction set for 2008. Public Safety: The Wichita Fire Department can service this site within a ten (10) to twelve (12) minute approximate response time from City Station #12 located at 1903 West Pawnee. Also, the site can be serviced within a five (5) to seven (7) minute response time from City Station #19 located at 600 W MacArthur Road. In addition, the Sedgwick County Fire Department can serve this site within a ten (10) to twelve (12) minute approximate response time from County Station #34 located at 71st Street South and West Street. Upon annexation, police protection will be provided to the area by the Patrol South Bureau of the Wichita Police Department, headquartered at 211 E Pawnee. Parks: Osage Park, a 20 acre Community Park, is located approximately two (2) miles northeast of the property proposed for annexation. The park may be accessed through entrances located off 31st Street South. The Wichita- Sedgwick County Parks and Open Space Master Plan: Parks and Pathways indicates no plans for future parks near the area proposed for annexation. School District: The property is located in Unified School District 261 (Haysville School District). Annexation will not change the school district. Urban Growth Area & Policy 32: The property is located inside of the urban growth area of the City of Wichita as shown in the 1996 amended Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. The property is located inside of the current Policy 32 urban service area, particularly the 2010 urban service area, as proposed in the 1999 update to the Comprehensive Plan. The property proposed for annexation currently has 2 single family units on the site. The total appraised value of the property is $28,750, which is also the current assessed value. Using the current City levy ($31.406/$1000 x assessed valuation), this roughly yields $902 in City annual tax revenues for the property. The future assessed value of this property will depend on subsequent future development and the current mill levy. The property is eligible for annexation under K.S.A. 12-520.
