(a) The city shall process each valid and administratively complete application for a right-of-way permit within ten (10) business days. (b) The director of public works may, subject to applicable state and federal law, deny a permit or prohibit the use or occupancy of a specific portion of the right-of-way, or impose reasonable conditions upon the issuance of a right-of-way permit, to protect the public health, safety and welfare, to prevent interference with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel over the right- of-way, or when necessary to protect the right-of-way and its users. The director of public works may consider all relevant factors including but not limited to: (1) The extent to which the right-of-way space where the permit is sought is available; (2) The competing demands for the particular space in the right-of-way; (3) The availability of other locations in the right-of-way for the facilities of the applicant; (4) The applicability of any ordinance or other regulations that affect the location of facilities in the right-of-way; (5) The degree of compliance of the applicant with the terms and conditions of its franchise, this article, and other applicable ordinances and regulations; (6) The degree of disruption to the surrounding community and businesses that will result from the use of that part of the right-of-way; and (7) The balancing of costs of disruption to the public and damage to the right-of-way, against the benefits to that part of the public served by the construction in the right-of-way. (c) Issued permits are not transferable, except to an affiliate, parent or subsidiary that has registered with the city pursuant to section 35-395 of this article. (d) If permitted work is being done for a ROW-user by another person, a contractor, subcontractor, or otherwise, the person doing the work and the ROW-user shall be jointly liable and responsible for all damages, obligations, and warranties herein described. (e) Obtaining a right-of-way permit under this article shall not relieve a ROW-user of its duty to obtain any necessary permit, license, certification, grant, registration, franchise agreement or any other authorization required by any governmental entity, including, but not limited to, the city, the FCC or the KCC, or its duty to pay any fees required by any other city, county, state, or federal rules, laws, or regulations.

(a) The city reserves the right, as provided herein, to revoke any right-of-way permit, without refund of the permit fee, in the event of a breach of the terms and conditions of any law or the right-of- way permit. A breach shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following: (1) The violation of any provision of the right-of-way permit, this article, or other applicable law; (2) An evasion or attempt to evade any material provision of the right-of-way permit, or the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any fraud or deceit upon the city or its citizens; - 514- (3) Any material misrepresentation of any fact in the permit application; (4) The failure to maintain the required bond or insurance; (5) The failure to complete the project work by the date specified in the right-of-way permit, unless a permit extension is obtained; (6) The failure to correct a condition indicated on an order issued pursuant to this article; (7) Repeated traffic control violations; or (8) Failure to repair facilities damaged in the right-of-way. (b) If the director of public works determines that the permittee has committed a breach as specified above, the director of public works shall make a written demand upon the permittee to remedy such breach. The demand shall state that the continued violation may be cause for revocation of the permit, or legal action, if applicable. Further, a breach will allow the director of public works, at his or her discretion, to place additional or revised conditions on the right-of-way permit, specifically related to the manner in which the breach is cured by the permittee. Within five (5) calendar days of receiving notification of the breach, the permittee shall contact the director of public works with a plan, acceptable to the director of public works, for correction of the breach. The permittee’s failure to contact the director of public works, failure to submit an acceptable plan, or failure to reasonably implement the approved plan shall be cause for immediate revocation of the right-of-way permit. (c) If a right-of-way permit is revoked, the permittee shall also reimburse the city for its reasonable costs, including administrative costs, restoration costs, and the costs of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such revocation.

(c) The ROW-user shall not at any one time excavate more of the right-of-way than shall be reasonably necessary to enable the ROW-user to complete the project work in the most expeditious manner. Except in cases of an emergency or with approval of the director of public works, no right-of-way work may be done when conditions are unreasonable for such work. (d) The ROW-user shall not disrupt a right-of-way in any manner which causes interference with the natural free and clear passage of water through the gutters or other waterways. (e) The ROW-user shall notify the city no less than three (3) working days in advance of any construction, reconstruction, repair, location or relocation of facilities which would require any street closure or which reduces traffic flow to less than two lanes of moving traffic for more than four hours. Except in the event of an emergency, no such closure shall take place without notice and prior authorization from the city. (f) To minimize disruption to traffic, non-emergency work on arterial streets shall not be performed during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., or on holidays or weekends, unless prior approval is received from the director of public works. In any event, the - 515- ROW-user shall perform work on the right-of-way at such times that will allow the least interference with the normal flow of traffic and the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. (g) All work performed in the right-of-way or which in any way impacts vehicular or pedestrian traffic shall be properly signed, barricaded, and otherwise protected at the ROW-user’s expense. The ROW-user shall also be responsible for providing adequate traffic control and passage to the surrounding area as determined by the director of public works. Such signage, barriers, and traffic control shall be in conformance with the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, as applicable. (h) The ROW-user shall use excavatable, low-strength flowable fill as backfill on any street cut. This requirement may be waived or changed when appropriate in the discretion of the director of public works. In such event, the director of public works may require the ROW-user to employ an approved testing laboratory, which shall certify the proper back-filling on any street cut. The ROW-user shall pay all costs associated with such testing. (i) If an excavation cannot be back-filled immediately and is left unattended, the ROW-user shall secure the unfilled excavation. The ROW-user has sole responsibility for maintaining proper barricades, safety fencing and lights as required, from the time of opening of the excavation until the excavation is surfaced and opened for travel. (j) Upon completion of an excavation to install new underground facilities, the ROW-user shall insert a metal marker or other approved marking device into the excavation of the restored pavement, which shall identify the ROW-user’s presence in the right-of-way. (k) The director of public works shall, from time to time, prepare standard plans and specifications for the making of excavations in the right-of-way, for the making of pavement cuts and for refilling and tamping the same, and for repairing and restoring pavement, which shall be filed in the offices of the city clerk and the city engineer, and it shall be a condition of any permit issued under this article that the ROW-user shall comply in all respects with all such standard plans and specifications. (l) All facilities and other appurtenances laid, constructed and maintained by the ROW-user shall be laid, constructed and maintained in accordance with acceptable engineering practice and in full accord with any and all applicable engineering codes and in accordance with applicable all applicable rules and regulations of the KCC and any other local, state or federal agency having jurisdiction over the parties. (m) Except as otherwise specifically requested by an applicant and approved by the city in the issued right-of-way permit, all technical standards governing construction, reconstruction, installation, operation, testing, use, maintenance, and dismantling of a ROW-user’s facilities in the right-of- way shall be in accordance with applicable federal, state and local law and regulations, including those promulgated by national trade associations commonly associated with the utility service provided by the ROW-user. It is understood that the standards established in this paragraph are minimum standards and the requirements established or referenced in this article may be in addition to or stricter than such minimum standards. The director of public works may require that any drawings, plans and/or specifications submitted be certified by a Kansas registered professional engineer stating that such drawings, plans and/or specifications comply with all applicable technical codes, rules and regulations, unless such plans are based directly on nationally recognized codes, which are appropriately cited, and attested to on the plans by the signature of an authorized official of the organization applying for the permit. (Ord. No. 14-10740, § 1, 7-28-14) Sec. 35-304. Protection of property; property damage. (a) The ROW-user shall be liable for any damages to underground facilities due to excavation work prior to obtaining the location of such facilities, or for any damage to underground facilities that - 516- have been properly identified prior to excavation. The ROW-user shall not make or attempt to make repairs, relocation or replacement of damaged or disturbed facilities without the approval of the owner of the facilities. (b) It shall be the responsibility of the ROW-user to take adequate measures to protect and defend its facilities in the right-of-way from harm and damage. The city shall not be liable for any damage to or loss of any of the ROW-user’s facilities within the right-of-way as a result of or in connection with any construction, excavation, grading, filling or work of any kind, including public improvements by or on the behalf of the city, except to the extent caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the city. (c) If the ROW-user severely disturbs or damages the root structure of any tree in the right-of-way to the detriment of the health and safety of the tree, the ROW-user will be required to remove, and may be required to replace, the tree at the ROW-user’s cost. The type and size of such replacement tree shall be reasonably determined by the city forester. Further, in review of the ROW-user’s plan, the city forester, in his or her discretion, may require the ROW-user to directionally bore around any tree in the right-of-way. (d) The ROW-user shall be responsible to the city and its agents, representatives, and authorized contractors for all damages suffered by them including, but not limited to, delay damages, repair costs, construction delays, penalties or other expenses of any kind arising out of the failure of the ROW-user to timely perform any of its obligations under this article to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of the ROW-user. (Ord. No. 14-10740, § 1, 7-28-14) Sec. 35-305. General right-of-way use regulations. (a) The ROW-user’s use and occupancy of the right-of-way shall always be subject and subordinate to the reasonable public health, safety and welfare requirements and regulations of the city. The city may reserve sufficient space within the right-of-way for existing or future public improvements. (b) The ROW-user shall coordinate the placement of facilities in a manner which minimizes adverse impact on any public improvement, as reasonably determined by the city. The facilities shall be placed with adequate clearance from such public improvements so as not to impact or be impacted by such public improvement. (c) All facilities shall be located so as not to disrupt or interfere with any pipes, drains, sewers, irrigation systems, or other structures or public improvements already installed. In addition, the ROW-user shall, in performing work in connection with its facilities, avoid, so far as may be practicable, disrupting or interfering with the lawful use of the right-of-way or other public lands of the city. The ROW-user shall not interfere with the facilities of the other ROW-users without their permission. (d) The ROW-user shall participate in the Kansas One Call utility location program with respect to all of its facilities in the right-of-way. (e) Whenever reasonably possible, all newly constructed facilities shall be located underground; provided, however, that a ROW-user may attach permitted facilities to an existing above-ground utility pole with permission from the pole owner. The ROW-user shall comply with all requirements of the city relating to underground facilities, including but not limited to section 36-78. This requirement may be waived by the director of public works at his or her discretion, for safety concerns or some other good cause, taking into account industry practices, costs, technological considerations, and other relevant factors, so long as such waiver does not cause discrimination among similarly-situated ROW-users. If this requirement is waived, the facilities shall be located in accordance with the requirements of the director of public works and any - 517- other applicable provisions of the city code, including, but not limited to, requirements regarding location, height, and appearance. (f) Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, if the city requires or negotiates to have a ROW-user cease using its existing poles and to relocate its facilities underground, all other ROW-users using the same poles shall also relocate their facilities underground at the same time, at their sole expense, unless this requirement is waived by the director of public works for good cause shown. (g) The director of public works may assign specific corridors within the right-of-way, or any particular segment thereof as may be necessary, for each type of facility that is currently, or is expected to someday be, located within the right-of-way. A right-of-way permit issued by the director of public works may indicate the proper corridor for the ROW-user’s facilities. Any ROW-user whose facilities are currently in the right-of-way in a position at a variance with the designated corridors shall, no later than at the time of next reconstruction or excavation of the area where its facilities are located, move the facilities to its assigned position within the right- of-way, unless this requirement is waived by the director of public works for good cause shown. (h) If, in the preparation and planning for a right-of-way project, the director of public works deems it appropriate for a conduit to be constructed along, across or under the right-of-way, the director of public works shall contact all appropriate ROW-users for their input on the planning and design of such conduit. If a ROW-user desires to construct, maintain or operate facilities along such right-of-way, the director of public works may require the ROW-user to use such conduit, and to contribute to the expense of such conduit, provided, however, the ROW-user’s use of the conduit is reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. (i) The ROW-user shall cooperate promptly and fully with the city and take all reasonable measures necessary to provide accurate and complete on-site information regarding the nature and horizontal and vertical location of its facilities located within the right-of-way, both underground and overhead, when requested by the city or its authorized agent for a public improvement. Such location and identification shall be at the sole expense of the ROW-user. (Ord. No. 14-10740, § 1, 7-28-14) Sec. 35-306. Trimming of trees. The city forester, upon the review and approval of a plan and details for trimming trees in the right-of- way, may grant permission by permit to any ROW-user to trim or remove trees upon and overhanging the right-of-way so as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming into contact with the facilities of the ROW-user. Permission to trim and remove trees may also be granted by the terms of a franchise agreement. (Ord. No. 14-10740, § 1, 7-28-14) Sec. 35-307. Right-of-way repair and restoration. (a) After any excavation or project work in the right-of-way, the ROW-user shall restore the right- of-way to the reasonable satisfaction of the director of public works. (b) If the ROW-user fails to restore the right-of-way in the manner and to the condition required by the director of public works, or fails to satisfactorily and timely complete all restoration, the city may, at its option, serve written notice upon the ROW-user and its surety (as applicable) that, unless within five (5) days after serving of such notice, a satisfactory arrangement can be made for the proper restoration of the right-of-way, the city may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion, by contract or otherwise, at the expense of the ROW-user, and the ROW-user and its surety (as applicable) shall be liable to the city for any and all costs incurred by the city by reason of such prosecution and completion. (c) Upon determination that such restoration is a public safety matter, the director of public works may order that all restoration work be commenced within twenty-four (24) hours of notice from - 518- the city. If such restoration work is not timely commenced, the city may proceed to perform the restoration work, in which case the ROW-user shall be liable to and reimburse the city for the cost thereof plus penalties. (d) In restoring the right-of-way, the ROW-user guarantees its project work, except restored vegetation, and shall maintain such work for thirty-six (36) months following completion of all project work. During the thirty-six (36) month period, the ROW-user shall, upon notification from the director of public works, correct all guaranteed restoration work to the extent necessary, using any method as required by the director of public works. The work shall be completed within a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of notice from the director of public works (excluding days on which work cannot be done because of circumstances constituting force majeure). In the event the ROW-user is required to perform new restoration pursuant to the foregoing guarantee, the director of public works shall have the authority to extend the guarantee period for such new restoration for up to an additional thirty-six (36) months from the date of the new restoration. The thirty-six (36) month guarantee period shall be applicable to failures or defects above or below the surface. (e) Notwithstanding the requirements of this section, the city shall have the option to perform or cause to be performed any street restoration work, at the director of public work’s sole discretion. In such case, the ROW-user shall reimburse the city for any reasonable and actual costs incurred in restoring the street to the same condition that existed before the commencement of the ROW-user’s project work, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a statement for such costs. The thirty-six (36) month guarantee shall not apply to any street restoration work performed by the city or its contractors under this subsection. (Ord. No. 14-10740, § 1, 7-28-14) Sec. 35-308. Inspections. (a) The ROW-user shall make the project work site available to the director of public works, and all others authorized by law, for inspection at all reasonable times during the performance of project work, including restoration work. (b) For excavation work involving backfilling, the ROW-user shall notify the director of public works to schedule an inspection at the start of backfilling. (c) Upon completion of all restoration work pursuant to a right-of-way permit, the ROW-user will schedule a closeout inspection. For efficiency, the director of public works may approve alternate inspection or self-certification procedures for ROW-users whose operations require frequent excavations on a continuing basis. (d) On the basis of any inspection, the director of public works may order the ROW-user to correct any project work to comply with the terms of a permit or other applicable standards, conditions, or laws. The order shall state the violation, the terms of correcting the violation, and that failure to correct the violation within the stated time limits shall be cause for revocation of the permit and/or may result in the city restoring the right-of-way, in which case the ROW-user shall be liable to and reimburse the city for the cost thereof plus penalties. Provided, however, than the failure to issue such an order after any inspection shall not be deemed a waiver of the city’s rights to require subsequent compliance with the terms of a permit or other applicable standards, conditions, or laws. (e) At the time of any inspection, the director of public works may order the immediate cessation of any work that poses a serious threat to the life, health, safety, or welfare of the public. The director of public works may issue a stop-work order to the ROW-user for any work that does not conform to the applicable standards, conditions, code or terms of the permit, this article, or other applicable law. The stop-work order shall state that failure to correct the violation will be cause for revocation of the permit. (Ord. No. 14-10740, § 1, 7-28-14) - 519- Sec. 35-309. Mapping requirement. (a) Each utility service provider shall keep and maintain accurate records and as-built drawings, at its own expense, depicting the accurate location of all its facilities located in the right-of-way. Underground facilities shall be differentiated from aboveground and overhead facilities. (b) Within ten (10) days of a request by the city, the utility service provider will provide to the city information concerning such facilities as may be reasonably requested. (c) When available to the utility service provider, such information will be submitted electronically in an AutoCad® format to the extent compatible with the city’s Geographical Information Systems (GIS); provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to require the utility service provider to acquire or modify any electronic mapping system. (Ord. No. 14-10740, § 1, 7-28-14) Sec. 35-310. Facility relocation. (a) The ROW-user shall promptly remove, relocate or adjust any facilities located in the right-of- way as directed by the city to accomplish construction and maintenance activities directly related to improvements for the health, safety and welfare of the public. Such removal, relocation, or adjustment shall be performed by the ROW-user at its sole expense, and shall be subject to all rules, regulations and schedules of the city. The ROW-user shall proceed with relocations upon notice to proceed given by the director of public works. (b) As soon as working drawings are available for public improvements that will require the ROW- user to relocate its facilities, the city shall provide the ROW-user with written notice of relocations and the anticipated bid letting date for the public improvement. The ROW-user shall respond with any conflicts and a proposed construction schedule within thirty (30) days. (c) Following notice by the city in the form of the delivery of final design plans for such public improvements, the ROW-user shall remove and relocate its facilities in accordance with the mutually agreed upon schedule, provided the project is not delayed by adverse weather conditions and other factors beyond the control of the ROW-user. The ROW-user shall certify to the city, in writing, that its facilities have been relocated or adjusted to clear construction in accordance with project plans provided by the city. (d) Any damages suffered by the city, its agents or its contractors as a result of the ROW-user’s failure to timely or properly relocate or adjust its facilities shall be borne by the ROW-user. (e) It is the intent of this section for both the city and the ROW-user to cooperate with one another so that the need for facility relocation is minimized and, when required and feasible, relocations may be completed prior to receipt of bids by the city for a public improvement. (Ord. No. 14-10740, § 1, 7-28-14) Sec. 35-311. Right-of-way vacation. (a) If the city vacates a right-of-way which contains the facilities of a ROW-user, and if the vacation does not require the relocation of the ROW-user’s facilities, the city shall reserve, to and for itself and all ROW-users having facilities in the vacated right-of-way, an easement for the right to install, maintain and operate any facilities in the vacated right-of-way and to enter upon such vacated right-of-way at any time for the purpose of reconstructing, inspecting, maintaining or repairing the same. (b) If the vacation requires the relocation of facilities, and: (1) If the vacation proceedings are initiated by the ROW-user, the ROW-user must pay the relocation costs.

(a) The director of public works may order a ROW-user to remove its facilities from the right-of- way, at the ROW-user’s own expense, whenever the following occurs: (1) The ROW-user ceases to operate the facilities for a continuous period of twelve (12) months; (2) The ROW-user ceases or fails to complete construction of the facilities outlined in the right-of-way permit within the term or duration of the permit; (3) The ROW-user’s right-of-way permit is revoked; (4) The ROW’s user’s construction or installation of the facilities, or any portion of the project work, is determined to have been performed in violation of the terms of a permit, this article, or other applicable standards, conditions, or laws, and the ROW-user fails to correct, repair, or redo such work within thirty (30) days after notice from the director of public works. (b) If such facilities are not removed voluntarily by the ROW-user, the director of public works may notify the ROW-user that if removal of the facilities is not accomplished within a reasonable time specified, the city may remove the facilities at the ROW-user’s expense. (c) When a ROW-user removes its facilities from the right-of-way, it shall, at its own expense and in a manner approved by the director of public works, replace and restore the right-of-way in accordance with the repair and restoration requirements of this article. (d) The director of public works may, upon written application by a ROW-user, approve the abandonment of any facilities in place under such terms and conditions as the director of public works may approve, in writing, including but not limited to requiring the ROW-user to post a bond in an amount sufficient to reimburse the city for reasonable anticipated costs to be incurred to remove the facilities.

The indemnity provided by this subsection does not apply to any liability resulting from the negligence of the city, its officers, employees, contractors, or subcontractors. If a ROW-user and the city are found jointly liable by a court of competent jurisdiction, liability shall be apportioned comparatively in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas without, however, waiving any governmental immunity available to the city under state law and without waiving any defenses of the parties under state or federal law. This subsection is solely for the benefit of the city and ROW-user and does not create or grant any rights, contractual or otherwise, to any other person or entity.

LOT SPLIT REGULATIONS Sec. 36-59. Purpose. The purpose of these regulations is to provide for the division of a lot within a subdivision into not more than two (2) lots or tracts without having to comply with the platting requirements described in these regulations. An existing platted lot may be divided or split into not more than two (2) parts which singularly or combined with an adjoining lot or part of a lot results in two (2) building lots which meet the minimum size and area requirements of the zoning district in which the lots are located. Any further division of the new lots shall require replatting in accordance with the requirements described in these regulations. (Ord. No. 95-9710, § 1, 10-16-95) Sec. 36-60. Application procedure and requirements. A written application for a split shall be made to the planning department. Each application shall be submitted with three (3) copies of a plot plan, certified by a licensed land surveyor at a scale of one (1) inch equals thirty (30) feet or less and shall contain the following information: (1) Location of the existing lot within the subdivision as related to the nearest existing streets; (2) Location of existing easements and utilities; (3) Dimensions of the divided portions of the lot; (4) Location and width of driveways or accessways, existing and proposed; - 496- (5) Dimensions of all existing structures and their locations with respect to the existing lot lines; (6) Signature of the owner(s); and (7) Legal description(s) of the property (ies). (Ord. No. 95-9710, § 1, 10-16-95) Sec. 36-61. Planning staff review. Upon receipt of the application, the planning department shall review it for compliance with the zoning and subdivision regulations. If the application and the plot plan comply with all applicable regulations, the lot split shall be approved by the planning department and shall bear the signature of the planning director. The applicant shall file the approved lot split with the Saline County Register of Deeds. A copy of the filed request must be returned to the planning department, who will make and distribute additional copies to the building official, city clerk and city engineer. (Ord. No. 95-9710, § 1, 10-16-95) Sec. 36-62. Approval standards. The division of lots pursuant to this chapter shall comply with the comprehensive plan, any major street and road plans, applicable zoning ordinance requirements, these regulations and all other applicable regulations. No lot split shall be approved if: (1) A new street or alley is needed or proposed; (2) There is less street right-of-way than required by this chapter; (3) Any easement requirements have not been satisfied or existing easements would have to be modified to accommodate the proposed lot split; (4) The lot splits will result in a tract without frontage on a public street or approved private street; (5) A lot or parcel of substandard size will be created, except where a lot split will result in the substandard- sized portion being recombined with an adjoining standard-sized, platted lot and where this recombination is duly filed and recorded with the Saline County Register of Deeds; or (6) The lot split will result in a substantial increase in service requirements (e.g. utilities, drainage, traffic control, street improvements, etc.) and will constitute a significant deviation from the basis upon which approval of the original plat was granted. (Ord. No. 95-9710, § 1, 10-16-95) Sec. 36-63. Building permits. No building permit shall be issued for any site which contains a division of a platted lot of record, unless such division has been approved in the manner provided by this chapter. (Ord.

(a) Conformance to applicable rules and regulations. In addition to the requirements established herein, all subdivision plats shall comply with all applicable ordinances of the city and all city policy documents, including all streets, drainage systems and parks shown on the land use plan or other officially adopted plan; any rules of the health department and/or the state department of health; the rules of the state department of transportation if the subdivision or any lot contained therein abuts a state. highway or connecting street; the standards and regulations adopted by the city engineer, and all boards, commissions, agencies and officials of the city; and all pertinent standards contained within the planning guides published by the applicable regional or metropolitan planning commission. Plat approval may be withheld if a subdivision is not in conformity with the above guides or the policy and purposes of this chapter established in section 36-4. (b) Restrictive covenants. If the owner places restrictions on any of the land contained in the subdivision greater than those required by the zoning ordinance or this chapter, such restrictions or reference thereto may be required to be indicated on the final subdivision plat, or the planning commission may require that restrictive covenants be recorded with the county register of deeds in form to be approved by the city attorney. (c) Plats straddling municipal boundaries. Whenever access to the subdivision is required across land in another local governmental jurisdiction, the planning commission may request assurance from the city attorney that access is legally established, from the city engineer that the access road is adequately improved, or that a performance bond has been duly executed and is sufficient in amount to assure the construction of the access road. Lot lines shall be laid out so as not to cross municipal boundary lines. (d) Monuments. The applicant shall place permanent reference monuments in the subdivision as required herein and as approved by a registered land surveyor. Monuments shall be located on street right-of-way lines, at street intersections, angle points of curve and block corners. (1) The external boundaries of a subdivision shall be monumented in the field by monuments of concrete not less than twenty-four (24) inches in depth, not less than four (4) inches square or five (5) inches in diameter and marked on top with a one-half inch by twenty-four-inch iron rod securely imbedded. These monuments shall have affIxed thereto a metal or plastic cap bearing the name and/or registration number of the responsible land surveyor legibly stamped or imprinted thereon. These monuments shall be placed at all corners, at each end of all curves, at all angle points in any line, and at all angle points along the meander line, such points to be not less than twenty (20) feet back from the bank of any river or stream, except that when such corners or points fall within a street, or proposed future street, the monuments shall be placed on the right-of-way line of the street. The location of these monuments shall also be marked on the ground by the use of wooden stakes. (2) All block corners, including the PC and PT of curved block lines, shall be marked with iron monuments no smaller than one-half inch in diameter and two (2) feet in length driven into the ground flush with the existing ground surface. The location of such monuments shall be shown on the final plat and marked on the ground by use of wooden stakes. Sufficient information shall be shown on the plat to allow an experienced surveyor to locate or relocate all points and lines shown on the plat, including all pertinent curve data. The error of closure of the boundaries of any enclosed area within the plat shall not exceed one (1) foot in three thousand (3,000) feet. - 498- (3) All monuments shall be properly set in the ground and approved by a registered land surveyor or a performance bond, based upon the city engineer's estimate, shall have been issued for monument placement prior to city planning commission approval of the final plat. (e) Character of the land. Land which the planning commission Finds to be unsuitable for subdivision or development due to flooding, improper drainage, steep slopes, rock formation, adverse earth formations or topography, utility easements or other features which will reasonably be harmful to the safety, health and general welfare of inhabitants of the land and surrounding areas shall not be subdivided or developed unless adequate methods are formulated by the developer and approved by the planning commission, upon recommendation of the city engineer, to solve the problems created by the unsuitable land conditions. (f) Subdivision name. The proposed name of the subdivision shall not duplicate or closely approximate phonetically the name of any other subdivision in the area covered by this chapter. The planning commission shall have final authority to designate the name of the subdivision. (Ord. No. 80-8828. § 1(3.1), 12-22-80; Ord. No. 90-9386, §§ 4, 7, 6-18-90) Sec. 36-72. Lots and lot improvements. (a) Lot splits. No provision of this chapter shall be construed as to require a replat for the split of any lot into two (2) tracts if it is zoned residentially. Should a tract be zoned industrially it may be divided into any number of tracts without a replat. (b) Lot arrangement. The lot arrangement shall be such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties, for reasons of topography or other conditions, in securing building permits to build on all lots in compliance with city codes and in providing legal access to lots from an approved public street. (c) Lot dimensions. Lot dimensions shall comply with the minimum standards of the zoning ordinance. Where lots are more than double the minimum required for the zoning district, the planning commission may require that such lots be arranged so as to allow further subdivision and the opening of future streets where they would be necessary to serve such potential lots, all in compliance with the zoning ordinance and this chapter. Side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines or radial on curved streets unless a variation from this rule will give better street or lot plan. Dimensions of corner lots shall be large enough to allow for erection of buildings, observing the minimum front yard setback from both streets. Depth and width of properties reserved or laid-out for business, commercial or industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off-street parking and loading facilities required for the type of use and development contemplated as established in the zoning ordinance. (d) Double frontage lots and access to lots: (1) Double frontage lots. Double frontage lots shall be avoided except where necessary to provide separation of residential development from traffic arterials or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. (2) Access from arterials. Lots shall not derive access exclusively from an arterial or collector street. When driveway access from an arterial or collector street may be necessary for several adjoining lots, the planning commission may require that such lots be served by a combined access drive in order to limit possible traffic hazard on such street Driveways should be designed and arranged as to avoid requiring vehicles to back into traffic on arterials. (e) Lot drainage. Individual lot drainage shall be coordinated with the general storm drainage pattern for the area. - 499- (f) Fencing. Each subdivider and/or developer shall be required to furnish and install fence wherever the planning commission determines that a hazardous condition may exist. Such fences shall be constructed according to standards established by the city engineer and shall be noted as to height and material on the final plat. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued until the fence improvements have been duly installed or a performance bond sufficient to cover the cost of the fencing, as determined by the city engineer, is filed with the city clerk. (g) Waterbodies and watercourses. If a tract being subdivided contains a waterbody, or portion thereof, lot lines shall be drawn so as to distribute the entire ownership of the waterbody among the adjacent lots. The planning commission may approve an alternative plan whereby ownership of and responsibility for safe maintenance of the waterbody is so placed that it will not normally become a city responsibility. Not more than twenty-five (25) percent of the minimum area of a lot required under the zoning ordinance may be satisfied by land which is under water. Where a watercourse separates the buildable area of a lot from the street by which it has access, provisions shall be made for installation of a culvert or other structure, of a design approved by the city engineer. (Ord. No. 80-8828, § 1(3.2), 12-22-80) Sec. 36-73. Performance bond. (a) A performance bond, if required, shall include an amount to guarantee completion of all requirements contained in this chapter, including, but not limited to, lot drainage, fencing, sidewalk construction, and all other lot improvements required by the planning commission. Such performance bond shall be sufficient to cover the cost of the improvements as determined by the city engineer, shall specify the time for completion, and be filed with the city clerk. (b) At the expiration of the performance bond, whether or not a certificate of occupancy has been issued, the city may enforce the provisions of the bond where the provisions of this section or any other applicable law, ordinance or regulation have not been complied with. (Ord. No. 80-8828, § 1(3.3), 12-22-80) Sec. 36-74. General street requirements. (a) Frontage on and access to and from an improved perimeter street or road. 1. 1. Defined phases.

If all direct access perimeter streets and connecting streets do not meet the applicable public street standard and the developer seeks plat approval on the basis that the direct access perimeter streets and connecting streets are improved to the interim street standard, the developer shall be responsible for submitting the engineering analysis necessary to determine if the direct access perimeter streets and connecting streets meet the interim street standard. (b) If any segment of a direct access perimeter street or connecting street does not meet the applicable public street standard, the developer may request that the matter be referred to the governing body to consider a development agreement, entirely at the discretion of the governing body, between the city and the developer addressing such matters including, but not limited to, (i) the timing, financial terms, and the standard to which the direct access perimeter streets and connecting streets are to be improved and (ii) the potential utilization of recorded consents to property owner participation in the cost of future upgrades of the street - 502- improvements; taking into consideration factors relevant to the public interest of assuring timely completion of appropriate street improvements such as, but not limited to: (1) The extent and nature of the appropriate street improvements, taking into consideration the potential suitability of an interim street standard or other public street standard; (2) The nature and pace of development in the area of the proposed subdivision; (3) Current and anticipated traffic volumes in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision; (4) Current cost savings that may result by allowing current street improvements to an interim street standard, in anticipation of participation by property owners in the cost of future enhancement to a public street standard; and (5) The extent to which any at-large public interests are served by the street improvements. 4. Dedications. The developer of a new subdivision shall dedicate a proportional share of the right- of-way required for all perimeter streets or roads as a condition of plat approval. (b) Internal Streets. The developer shall be responsible for the installation of all streets within the boundaries of a subdivision in compliance with the city street standard. (c) Topography and arrangement. (1) All streets shall be arranged so as to obtain as many building sites as possible at or above the grades of the streets. Grades of streets shall conform as closely as possible to the original topography. A combination of steep grades and curves shall be avoided. (2) All streets shall be properly integrated with the existing and proposed system of thoroughfares and dedicated rights-of-way as established on the official street classification and/or major street plan. (3) All thoroughfares shall be properly related to special traffic generators such as industries, business districts, schools, churches and shopping centers; to population densities and to the pattern of existing and proposed land uses. (4) Residential streets shall be laid out to conform as closely as possible to the topography, to discourage use by through traffic, to permit efficient drainage and utility systems, and to require the minimum number of streets necessary to provide convenient and safe access to property. (5) The use of curvilinear streets, cul-de-sac or U-shaped streets shall be encouraged. (6) In business or industrial developments, the streets and other access ways shall be planned in connection with the grouping of buildings, location of rail facilities and the provision of alleys, truck loading and maneuvering areas, walks and parking areas so as to minimize conflict of movement between the various types of traffic, including pedestrian. (d) Blocks. (1) Blocks shall have sufficient width to provide for two (2) tiers of lots of appropriate depths. Exceptions to this prescribed block width shall be permitted in blocks adjacent to railroads, waterways, arterials or unplatted property. (2) The lengths, widths and shapes of blocks shall be such as are appropriate for the locality and the type of development contemplated, but block lengths in residential areas shall not exceed three thousand two hundred (3,200) feet in perimeter measurement. Non-through streets (cul-de-sacs) shall not be included in the perimeter measurement. Blocks along arterials shall not be less eight hundred (800) feet in length. (3) The planning commission may require the reservation of easements and/or rights-of-way through - 503- blocks to accommodate utilities, drainage facilities or pedestrian traffic. Pedestrian ways or crosswalks not less than ten (10) feet wide may be required by the planning commission through blocks more than eight hundred (800) feet long in order to provide circulation or access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation or other community facilities. Blocks designed for industrial use shall be of such length and width as may be determined suitable by the planning commission for prospective use. (e) Access to arterials. Where a subdivision borders on or contains an existing or proposed arterial, the planning commission may require that access to such arterial streets be limited by one (1) of the following means: (1) The subdivision of land so that lots back onto the arterial and front onto a parallel local street; no access shall be provided by the developer in a strip of land along the rear property line of such lots. (2) A series of culs-de-sac, U-shaped streets, or short loops entered from and designed generally at right angles to such a parallel street, with the rear lines of their terminal lots backing onto the arterial. No access to the arterial shall be allowed. (3) A frontage street (separated from the arterial by a planting or grass strip and having access thereto at suitable points). (f) Street names. Names shall be sufficiently different in sound and in spelling from other street names in the city, so as not to cause confusion. A street which is, or is planned as, a continuation of an existing street shall bear the same name. (g) Reserve strips. Except as required in subsection (d), the creation of reserve strips adjacent to an existing or a proposed street in such a manner as to deny access from adjacent property to such street or to avoid having frontage on a perimeter street shall not be permitted. (h) Layout and dedication of streets and dead-end streets. (1) Dedication of streets. The arrangement of streets shall provide for the continuation of principal streets between adjacent properties when such continuation is necessary for convenient movement of traffic, effective fire protection, efficient provision of utilities, and where such continuation is in accordance with the city plan. If the adjacent property is undeveloped and the street must be a dead- end street temporarily, the right-of-way shall be extended to the property line. A temporary cul-de- sac shall be provided on all temporary dead-end streets, with the notation on the subdivision plat that land outside the normal street right-of-way shall revert to abuttors whenever the street is continued. The planning commission may limit the length of temporary dead-end streets in accordance with the design standards of this chapter. (2) Dead-end streets (permanent). A dead-end street shall be designed as a cul-de-sac street and shall consist of a fifty (50) foot right-of-way leading from a street terminated by a circular turnaround. The right-of-way of the turnaround shall not be less than one hundred (100) feet in diameter. The maximum length of a cul-de-sac street shall be six hundred (600) feet from the right-of-way line of the commencing street along the centerline right-of-way out of the cul-de-sac to the right-of-way line of the turnaround. See section 36-77 (a)(1). (Ord. No. 80-8828, § 1 (3.4), 12-22-80; Ord. No. 86-9143, § 1, 7-21-86; Ord. No. 87-9188, § 1, 5-18-87; Ord. No. 96-9760, § 1, 9-16-96; Ord. No. 16-10835, § 1, 8-22-16) Sec. 36-74.1 Street design standards. (a) City streets. In order to provide for streets of suitable location, width, and improvement to: (i) accommodate prospective traffic; (ii) afford satisfactory access to police, fire-fighting, snow removal, sanitation, and road-maintenance equipment, (iii) to coordinate streets so as to compose a - 504- convenient system; and (iv) avoid undue hardships to adjoining properties; the design standards set forth in Table I below are adopted as the design standards for the construction of city streets. Street classification shall be as indicated on the city’s official street classification and/or major street plan or, if not so indicated, shall be determined by the Planning Commission. The design standards set forth in Table I may be modified on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of the city engineer, taking into consideration special conditions such as drainage and utility requirements, safe and efficient traffic movement, intersection design, or emergency services access. Upon recommendation by the city engineer on a case by case basis, additional measures, including, but not limited to additional travel lanes, traffic control devices, access control, and acceleration and deceleration lanes may be required as a condition of plat approval by the planning commission when necessary to properly handle traffic flow and to protect the carrying capacity of the street. City streets shall be constructed in accordance with the city construction details and specifications adopted by the city engineer. The construction details and specifications shall provide for a 30-year pavement design standard. Prior to review of a proposed city street by the city engineer, sub-grade soils shall be tested by a geotechnical firm and a report submitted to the city engineer with analysis and recommendations for a 30-year design pavement section.

Footnotes to Table I 1 On an arterial or collector street designated as a complete street or impact street, additional right-of-way and pavement width may be required by the planning commission as may be necessary to meet the applicable complete street standard or impact street standard. 2 City Engineer may approve a reduction in paving width on a two lane collector street from 33’ B-B to 29’ B-B when on street parking is prohibited. 3 City Engineer may require a 33’ pavement width on local streets that serve as through streets or major entry points into subdivisions. 4 60’ right-of-way is required on dead end streets that exceed 600 ft. in length. (b) Private Streets. (1) Private streets may be approved within Planned Development Districts in accordance with Section 42-403(a)(11) when: - 505- a. The proposed private streets will have direct access onto a public street; b. The proposed private streets are not necessary to provide direct traffic access to public streets from properties located outside the development; c. The proposed private streets are so laid out or designed so as to discourage through traffic; and d. The proposed private streets will provide for adequate access, the safe movement of traffic, proper drainage and serve as an adequate alternative to a public street. (2) A notation shall be placed on all plats of any subdivision in which private streets are established stating that: "All maintenance of the right-of-way and street surface shall be the responsibility of the abutting property owner or owner's association. No private street may be dedicated to or accepted by the City of Salina for public street purposes until it is brought into conformance with the minimum standards for public streets of the city." (3) When private streets are proposed, the developer shall submit to the Planning Commission for approval a written and binding declaration, to be recorded with the final plat establishing an owner's association or similar legal entity which will have: a. The legal authority to maintain and exercise control over the street; and b. The power to compel contributions from owners within the development to cover their proportionate shares of the cost associated with maintenance of the street. (4) Private streets shall be designed so as to provide a minimum of forty-five (45) feet of right-of- way and twenty-five (25) feet of paved driving surface. Private cul-de-sacs shall be designed to provide a minimum of twenty (20) feet of circular paved driving surface with the outer edge of the pavement having a minimum radius of thirty-five (35) feet within a right-of-way having a minimum radius forty (40) feet. All private streets shall conform to the design standards established by the City Engineer which is herein adopted by reference as if set out at length in this section. (5) Street names shall be assigned by the developer, subject to Planning Commission approval, by placing the name on the plat. Names shall be sufficiently different in sound and spelling so as not to cause conflict or confusion with existing public or private streets. The city shall install street name signs within the public right-of-way at the intersection of public streets and private streets. Street name signs shall be installed by the developer at all other intersections within the development prior to issuance of any building permits. The private street name signs shall be constructed, located and installed in accordance with design standards established by the City Engineer. (6) All lots and tracts which have frontage on and take their primary access from a named private street shall have an address assigned off of that private street. (7) For the purpose of this section, a "private street" shall mean any open way used for vehicular traffic, not dedicated to the public and not a shared driveway or part of a parking lot, designed and used to provide vehicular access to two (2) or more lots or tracts. (c) Railroads and limited access highways. Railroad rights-of-way and limited access highways where located as to affect the subdivision of adjoining lands shall be treated as follows: (1) In residential districts a buffer strip at least twenty-five (25) feet in depth in addition to the normal depth of the lot required in the district shall be provided adjacent to the railroad right- - 506- of-way or limited access highway. This strip shall be part of the platted lots and shall be designated on the plat: "This strip is reserved for screening. The placement of habitable structures hereon is prohibited. (2) Streets parallel to the railroad, when intersecting a street which crosses the railroad at grade, shall be a distance of at least one hundred fifty (150) feet from the railroad right-of-way. Such distance shall be determined with due consideration of the minimum distance required for future separation of grades by means of appropriate approach gradients. (d) Intersections: (1) Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. A proposed intersection of two (2) new streets shall have no angle less than seventy-five (75) degrees. An oblique street shall be curved approaching an intersection and be approximately at right angles for at least one hundred (100) feet from the intersection. Not more than two (2) streets shall intersect at any point unless specifically approved by the Planning Commission. (2) A proposed new intersection along one side of an existing arterial street shall, wherever practicable, coincide with any existing intersections on the opposite side of such street. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred fifty(150)feet shall not be permitted on any class street, except where the intersected street has separated dual drives without median breaks at either intersection. Intersections of streets along arterials shall be at least eight hundred (800) feet apart. (Ord. No. 96-9760, § 1, 9-16-96; Ord. No. 98-9904, § 1, 12-7-98; Ord. No. 03-10144, §, 8-25-03; Ord. No. 04-10203, § 1, 5-7-04, Ord. No. 16-10835, § 2, 8-22-16) Sec. 36-74.2. Street dedications and reservations. (a) New perimeter streets. Street systems in new subdivisions shall be laid out so as to eliminate or avoid new perimeter half streets except when necessary for street alignment. Where an existing half street is adjacent to new subdivision the other half of the street shall be dedicated by the subdivider. The planning commission may authorize a new perimeter street where the subdivider dedicates the entire required street right-of-way width within their own subdivision. (b) Widening and realignment of existing streets. Where a subdivision borders an existing narrow street or when the master plan, official map or zoning setback regulations indicate plans for realignment or widening of a street that would require use of some of the land in the subdivision, the applicant shall be required to dedicate such areas for widening or realignment of such street. Such frontage streets shall be dedicated by the applicant at his own expense to the full width as required by this chapter. Land reserved for any street purposes may not be counted in satisfying yard or area requirements of the zoning ordinance whether the land is to be dedicated to the city in fee simple or an easement for roadway purposes is granted to the city. (Ord. No. 96-9760, § 1, 9-16-96) Sec. 36-75. Drainage and storm sewers. (a) General requirements. The planning commission shall not approve any plat of a subdivision which does not make adequate provisions for storm water runoff control. This control may be accomplished through the use of temporary detention basins, open channels, and/or closed conduits. The applicant shall be required to submit a drainage report prepared by a licensed professional engineer which examines the effects of the proposed subdivision on all upstream and downstream drainage conditions. The scope of this report shall be determined by the city engineer. The drainage report shall assume the ultimate development of the entire drainage basin based upon the current - 507- land use plan and the current and proposed zoning of the land within the drainage basin. Calculation of storm flows and runoff characteristics of the subdivision shall be performed in accordance with the design criteria established by the city engineer. The city engineer shall inform the planning commission, in writing, of the effects of the proposed subdivision on the existing storm drainage system based upon the above submitted drainage report. The city may require the developer of the proposed subdivision to construct or cause to be constructed all necessary storm drainage systems, designed in accordance with the design criteria established by the city engineer, prior to the issuance of any building permit. (b) Location. Drainage facilities shall be located in the street right-of-way where feasible, or in perpetual unobstructed easements of appropriate width. (c) Floodplain areas. The planning commission, when it deems necessary for the health, safety or welfare of the present and future population of the area and necessary for the conservation of water, drainage and facilities, may prohibit the subdivision of any portion of the property which lies within the floodplain of any stream or drainage course. These floodplain areas shall be preserved from any and all destruction or damage resulting from clearing, grading or dumping of earth, waste materials or stumps, except at the direction of the planning commission. (d) Dedication of drainage easements: (1) General requirements. Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainageway, channel or stream, there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially to the lines of such watercourse, and of such width and construction as will be adequate for the purpose. The drainage shall be maintained by an open channel with landscaped banks and adequate width for maximum potential volume of flow, unless some other design is approved by the city engineer and planning commission. (2) Drainage easements: a. Where topography or other conditions are such as to make impractical the inclusion of drainage facilities within street rights-of-way, perpetual unobstructed easements at least fifteen (15) feet in width, or more if determined necessary by the city engineer, shall be provided across property outside the street. Drainage easements shall be carried from the street to a natural watercourse or to other drainage facilities. b. When a proposed drainage system will carry water across adjacent private land outside the subdivision, appropriate drainage rights must be secured and indicated on the plat. c. The applicant shall dedicate, either in fee simple or by drainage or conservation easement, land on both sides of existing watercourses, to a distance to be determined by the planning commission. d. Low-lying lands along watercourses subject to flooding or overflowing during storm periods, whether or not included in areas for dedication, shall be preserved and retained in their natural state as drainage ways. Not more than twenty-five (25) percent of such land or land subject to periodic flooding shall be computed for determining the number of lots to be utilized or for computing the area requirements of any lot. (Ord. No. 80-8828, § 1 (3.5),12-22-80) Sec. 36-76. Water and sewer facilities. (a) Individual wells and central water systems. If a public water system is not available, individual wells may be used or a central water system provided in such a manner that an adequate supply of potable - 508- water will be available to every lot in the subdivision. Water samples shall be submitted to the health department for its approval. Individual wells and central water systems shall be approved by the appropriate health authorities. Certification of approval shall be submitted to the planning commission, prior to preliminary plat approval. (b) Individual sewerage systems and package plants. If municipal sewerage system is not available, an individual sewage treatment system may be used or a public sewerage system provided in such a manner that said system shall be approved by the appropriate state and/or local health authorities. (Ord. No. 80-8828, § 1(3.6), 12-22-80) Sec. 36-77. Sidewalks. (a) Required improvements: (1) Sidewalks shall be included within the dedicated nonpavement right-of-way on both sides of all streets except cul-de-sacs. No sidewalks shall be required on culs-de-sac provided the six hundred (600) foot maximum length requirement in section 36-74(a)(7)b. has not been varied under the provisions of section 36-10. (2) The developer will be required to construct the sidewalk prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit for any building or post a performance bond to insure construction. (3) Sidewalks shall be built in the public right-of-way with the inside edge approximately one (1) foot outside the property line unless an exception is approved by the city engineer due to topography, the presence of trees or other obstructions or to match an existing curbside sidewalk. Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with city design standards and specifications. (b) Widening and realignment of existing streets. Where a subdivision borders an existing narrow street or when the master plan, official map or zoning setback regulations indicate plans for realignment or widening of a street that would require use of some of the land in the subdivision, the applicant shall be required to dedicate such areas for widening or realignment of such street. Such frontage streets shall be dedicated by the applicant at his own expense to the full width as required by this chapter. Land reserved for any street purposes may not be counted in satisfying yard or area requirements of the zoning ordinance whether the land is to be dedicated to the city in fee simple or an easement for roadway purposes is granted to the city. (Ord. No. 80-8828, § 1(3.7), 12-22-80; Ord. No. 98-9904, § 2, 12-7-98) Sec. 36-78. Utilities. (a) All new utility lines, including but not limited to natural gas, electrical power, telephone lines and cable TV cables shall be placed underground within designated easements in all residential subdivisions within the City of Salina that are approved after the effective date of this provision. The subdivider, developer or owner of the property being platted shall make the necessary arrangements with the utility provider for the installation of underground utilities. No building permit for a principal structure shall be issued in a subdivision where underground utilities are required until the utility companies involved have provided confirmation to the building official that the necessary utility lines for that property have been installed or that they have commenced installation of the utility lines. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any of the following: (1) Poles used exclusively for street or area lighting or traffic control signals. (2) Radio, television, and wireless communication towers and antennas. (3) Existing poles, overhead wires, and associated overhead structures, when part of a continuous line, or - 509- services to individual properties from existing overhead lines that are within a subdivision previously approved in conformance with these regulations. Nothing in this section will prevent the replacement of existing poles, overhead wires, and associated overhead structures on lines when necessary for the purpose of maintaining the line or upgrading the capacity. (4) Subdivisions located within the urban service area but outside the city limits. (5) New subdivisions or replats of existing subdivisions that are less than ten (10) acres in size and are located in developed areas which presently have an overhead type of distribution system. (6) Electric distribution or transmission lines with capacities of three thousand (3,000) KVA or more. (7) Transformers, transformer pads, telephone service pedestals or other above-ground facilities normally used with and as a part of an underground distribution system. (8) Existing poles, overhead wires, and associated overhead structures, when part of a continuous line, or services to individual properties from such existing overhead lines that are within a subdivision previously approved in accordance with existing regulations. (9) Existing poles, overhead wires, and associated overhead structures, when part of a continuous line, or services to individual properties from such existing overhead lines that serve properties adjacent to but not within areas being subdivided. (10) Existing overhead lines attached to the exterior surface of a building by means of a bracket or other fixture and extending from one (1) location on the building to another location on the same building, or to an adjacent building without crossing a property line. (11) Any communication line, which would otherwise be required by this Section to be underground that uses an overhead pole or structure exempted by this section. (12) Underground installation of wiring or electrical power, telephone and cable television shall not be required in flood plain areas, drainage easements, major drainage ways or other areas where there is frequently standing water. The subdivider may request a waiver from the requirements of section 36-78(a) if physical conditions of the land, or economic conditions associated with the nature of the subdivision in question make underground installation infeasible. Such request shall be accompanied by a report from the responsible utility provider stating the per linear foot cost differential between the average cost of installation of underground utilities and the estimated cost for the subject subdivision. The planning commission shall review the request and make a recommendation to the governing body as to whether the request shall be approved or denied. (b) Easements centered on rear or side lot lines shall be provided where necessary for utilities (private and municipal), and such easements shall be at least twenty (20) feet wide. Coordination shall be required between the subdivider and the applicable utility companies for the establishment of necessary utility easements on adjoining properties outside the boundaries of the proposed subdivision. (Ord. No. 80-8828, § 1(3.8), 12-22-80; Ord. No. 02-10081, § 1, 5-20-02) Sec. 36-79. Public uses. The applicant at his discretion, may choose to dedicate a portion of the plat to the city for use as a park, playground, school or any other public use. After proper determination of its necessity by the planning commission, and the appropriate city official or public agency involved in the acquisition and use of each such site and a determination has been made to acquire the site by the public agency, the site may be dedicated by the applicant to the city or other appropriate agency on the final plat. (Ord. No. 80-8828, § 1(3.9), 12-22-80) Sec. 36-80. Preservation of natural features and amenities. (a) General. Existing features which would add value to residential development or to the city as a whole, such as trees, as herein defined, watercourses, historic spots and similar irreplaceable assets, shall be preserved in the - 510- design of the subdivision. (b) Protection from harmful influences: (1) Every effort shall be made to protect adjacent residential areas from potential nuisance of existing or proposed nonresidential subdivisions, including the provision of extra depth in parcels backing on existing or potential residential or nonresidential development and provisions for a permanently landscaped buffer strip when deemed necessary by the planning commission. (2) Street carrying nonresidential traffic, especially truck traffic, shall not be extended to the boundaries of adjacent existing or potential residential areas. (Ord. No. 80-8828, § 1(3.10), 12-22-80) Sec. 36-81. Dedication of public park land. (a) General requirement. In subdividing or resubdividing land zoned and intended for residential use, the developer shall dedicate or reserve land for public park purposes, or pay a fee in lieu of dedication, or select a combination of dedication and a fee. The method chosen to meet this requirement shall be determined by the developer with consideration given to the standards set out in these regulations and the recommendation of the parks and recreation advisory board. Provided however, the board of commissioners shall not be obligated to accept a dedication or reservation of land even if the final plat approved by the planning commission includes a dedication or reservation. (b) Amount of dedication. The number of acres of land required to be dedicated or reserved shall be determined from the following table, which is based on the density of development as permitted by the zoning of the property being subdivided. The area required to be dedicated or reserved shall be exclusive of all street rights- of-way and drainage detention pond easements. Zoning of Area Percent of Total Land Area Being Subdivided to be Dedicated or Reserved for Park Purposes RS Residential suburban 2 R, R-1 Single-family residential 5 R-2 Multi-family residential 6 R-2.5 Multi-family residential 8 R-3 Multi-family residential 10 PDD Residential 2 - 10 (c) Location and design standards. Any land dedicated or reserved shall conform with the comprehensive plan of the city and be consistent with the plans and policies of the parks and recreation advisory board. The location, size and configuration of the land to be dedicated or reserved shall be determined by the design of the streets, lots, and blocks of the subdivision with consideration given to the preservation of natural physical features. All lands to be dedicated or reserved shall meet the following standards, unless a variation or exception is granted as provided in section 36-10: (1) No dedications or reservations shall be accepted from subdivisions of tracts containing less than twenty (20) acres. (2) The dedicated tract shall contain not less than two (2) contiguous acres and be a minimum of two hundred (200) feet at the narrowest dimension. (3) The dedicated tract shall have at least two hundred (200) feet of street frontage and be easily accessible to residents of adjacent subdivisions. Consideration shall be given to placing parks where they can be added to by future subdivisions. (4) At least fifty (50) percent of the dedicated tract shall have a grade of less than four (4) percent. The balance may consist of steep slopes, streams, ditches, lakes or other natural features. (5) Natural features such as wooded areas, streams, oxbows, and other natural assets shall be preserved - 511- whenever possible. (d) Payment in lieu of dedication. In the event the land to be dedicated or reserved is less than the amount of acreage required or the land does not meet the location and design standards, the payment of a fee in lieu of dedication shall be required. The fee shall be based on the total number of dwelling units permitted within the subdivision times a fee schedule for each dwelling unit type. Said fee schedule shall be as established by Ordinance Number 97-9847 and any amendments thereto. Any fees collected shall be placed in a neighborhood park account and used for improvement of neighborhood parks including acquisition of land. Such fees must be used for land and facilities that will be located in the neighborhood park service area of the subdivision from which the fees were collected. A record of fees paid into and expended from the fund, shall be kept by the city. In the event funds have not been expended on such purposes within fifteen (15) years from the date received then the fees shall be refunded in the following manner: (1) If paid in full at the time of platting, to the developer. (2) If paid at the time of the building permit, to the record property owner at the time of the refund. (e) Credit for private open space. Private open space for park and recreational purposes within a proposed development may be credited for up to fifty (50) percent of the requirement for dedication of public park land or payment of a fee in lieu thereof provided that the following standards are met: (1) That yards, setbacks and other open areas required by zoning and building regulations shall not be included in computing the area set aside as private open space. (2) That the private open space shall be reasonably useable for park and recreation purposes. (3) That the private open space shall be perpetually restricted for park and recreation purposes by recorded plat or restrictive covenant. (4) That the private open space shall be permanently owned and maintained by the owner of the development or by a legally established homeowners association. (f) Indication on preliminary plat. At the time of preliminary plat submittal, the developer shall indicate whether a dedication of land or a fee in lieu of dedication is being proposed. Any land proposed to be dedicated shall be shown on the preliminary plat. The proposed plat shall be referred to the parks and recreation advisory board for review and recommendation. (g) Prerequisite for final plat approval. When land is being dedicated it shall be shown on the final plat and marked "Dedicated for Public Park Purposes." Such dedications shall not be effective until the dedication has been specifically accepted by the board of commissioners. When a fee in lieu of dedication is required, total payment shall be made prior to final plat approval by the board of commissioners or, at the option of the developer, payment may be made at the time of issuance of a building permit on each individual lot. In the latter case, the fee shall be in accordance with the fee schedule referenced in section (d). (h) Reservation of park land. In some cases, the board of commissioners may determine that the reservation of park land for future dedication is more appropriate than immediate dedication of such land. In such cases, the land to be reserved shall be shown on the final plat and marked "Reserved for Public Park Purposes" and a covenant shall be written on the recorded plat indicating the latest date, time and manner in which dedication shall occur. Such future dedications shall be at no cost to the city except for the reimbursement of any costs paid by the owner for street, utility, drainage, and other public improvements benefitting the reserved land. (i) Effective area. The requirements herein shall apply to all lands within the city limits or being annexed into the city limits concurrent with subdivision approval lying south and east of a line described as follows: beginning where Magnolia Road extended intersects the western boundary of the city; thence - 512- easterly along Magnolia Road to Ninth Street; thence northerly along Ninth Street to Cloud Street; thence easterly along Cloud Street to Ohio Street, thence northerly along Ohio Street to Crawford Avenue; thence easterly along Crawford Avenue to the Smoky Hill River; thence northerly along the Smoky Hill River and cutoff channel to the northeastern boundary of the city.

The areas and boundaries of districts are hereby established on the zoning maps of the city, a copy of which is on file in the office of the zoning administrator. Such maps, referred to herein as the "zoning map", together with everything shown thereon, are hereby made a part of this chapter. (b) Area covered. It is the intent of this chapter that the entire area of the city, including all land and water areas, streets, alleys, railroads and other rights-of-way be included in the districts established herein. Any area not shown on the zoning map as being included in any district shall be deemed to be in the R-1 single-family residential district. (Code 1966, § 36-301) Sec. 42-42. District boundaries on zoning map. In the event that uncertainties exist with respect to the intended boundaries of the various districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply: (1) District boundaries are the center lines of streets, alleys or other rights-of-way, unless otherwise indicated. (2) Where district boundaries do not coincide with streets, alleys or other rights-of-way, but do coincide with lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of such district. (3) Where district boundaries do not coincide with streets, alleys, other rights-of-way or lot lines, the district boundaries shall be determined by use of the scale shown on the zoning map. (4) When a lot held in one ownership on February 14, 1977, is divided by a district boundary line, the entire lot shall be construed to be within the less restrictive district unless the application of this construction would increase the area of the less restrictive portion of the lot by more than twenty-five (25) percent. (5) All streets, alleys, public ways, waterways and railroad rights-of-way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same zone as the property immediately abutting them. Where the center line of a street, alley, public way, waterway or railroad right- of-way serves as a district boundary, the zoning of such areas, unless otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the same as that of the abutting property up to such center line.

The landscape strip shall be exterior to any security fence or wall. (11) Facility replacement. a. Modification to existing site. Up to fifty (50) percent of the height of an existing tower - 695- may be replaced with no resulting increase in height as part of modifications made to provide for co-location of a new facility. Replacement of more than fifty (50) percent shall be considered a new tower and shall meet all of the applicable requirements for new construction. b. Rebuilding damaged or destroyed existing site. Existing tower and facilities that are damaged or destroyed may be rebuilt through administrative review and approval by the planning director provided the replacement tower or facility is the same as the original in type, location, and intensity or brings a previously nonconforming tower or facility into a greater conformance with these standards, and no more than fifty (50) percent of the tower or facility is involved. If more than fifty (50) percent of the tower or facility is involved, it shall be considered a new facility and shall meet all the applicable requirements for new construction. All replacement shall comply with then applicable building codes and a new administrative permit or special permit and building permit shall be obtained and be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date the tower or facility was damaged or destroyed. If no permit is obtained or it expires, or replacement is not timely completed, the tower of facility shall be deemed abandoned. (12) Removal of abandoned facility. Any facility deemed abandoned pursuant to this chapter or any facility that is not operated for a continuous period of twelve (12) months shall be considered abandoned, and the owner or last operator thereof shall remove it within ninety (90) days of receipt of a "written notice to remove" from the city. Failure to remove an abandoned tower or facility within ninety (90) days shall be grounds to remove it at the owner's or last operator's expense. If there are two (2) or more users of a single tower or facility, then this provision shall not become effective until all users cease using it. (i) General requirements. Wireless communication providers shall comply at all times with the current applicable FCC and FAA standards and regulations. Prior to the issuance of a building permit to construct a facility, the owner/applicant or operator/applicant shall provide the city with the required clearances, licenses and certifications from all agencies of the federal government with the authority to regulate towers and antennas. (1) Building Codes; safety standards. To ensure the structural integrity of towers the owner or operator of a tower shall ensure that it is maintained in compliance with standards contained in applicable federal, state. or local building codes and the applicable standards for towers that are published by the Electronic Industries Association ("EIA") as amended from time to time. If, upon inspection, the building official concludes that a tower fails to comply with such codes and standards, then upon notice being provided to the operator or owner of the tower, the operator shall have thirty (30) days to bring the tower into compliance with such standards. Failure to bring a tower into compliance within thirty (30) days shall constitute grounds for removal of the tower at the owner or operator's expense. (2) Structural design. Towers shall be constructed to current EIA standards, which may be amended from time to time, and all applicable building codes adopted by the city. Furthermore, any improvements and/or additions to existing towers shall comply with the requirements of this chapter and shall require submission of construction plans sealed and verified by a professional engineer which demonstrate compliance with the EIA standards and all other good industry practices. The plans shall be submitted and reviewed at the time building permits are requested. (Ord. No. 98-9885, § 1, 8-17-98; Ord. No. 01-10033, § 1, 6-4-01) - 696- Sec. 42-70. Telecommunications Right-of-Way Users. (a) Purpose and objectives. The purpose of this section is to establish requirements for the siting and placement of wireless communication facilities within the public right-of-way in a manner consistent with state and federal law, while ensuring the public health, safety, and welfare, including minimizing the visual effects of wireless communication facilities on public streetscapes, protecting public views, and otherwise avoiding and mitigating the potential impacts of wireless communication facilities on nearby properties and the community at-large. The provisions of this section are not intended and shall not be interpreted to prohibit or to have the effect of prohibiting telecommunication services, nor shall they be applied in such a manner as to unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent telecommunication services. (b) Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following words and terms as used herein are defined to mean the following: 1. Antenna means a device used to transmit and/or receive radio or electromagnetic waves between earth and/or satellite-based systems, including but not limited to reflecting discs, panels, microwave dishes, whip antennas, antennas, arrays, or other similar devices. 2. Public right-of-way means the area of real property in which the city has a dedicated or acquired right-of-way interest in the real property. It shall include the area on, below or above the present and future streets, alleys, avenues, roads, highways, parkways or boulevards dedicated or acquired as right-of-way. The term does not include utility easements. 3. Support equipment means the physical, electrical and/or electronic equipment included within or used in conjunction with wireless communication facilities, including but not limited to facilities used to house, power, or contribute to the processing of signals from or to an antenna or antennas, a base station, cabling, air conditioning units, equipment cabinets, pedestals, and electric service meters. Support equipment does not include antennas or support structures to which the antennas or other equipment are attached, or antenna hubs. 4. Support structure means a ground-mounted self-supporting vertical structure used to elevate or carry lines, cables, wires, or antennas for telecommunications, cable television, electricity or other utility services, or to provide lighting. 5. Wireless communication facility means an installation that sends and/or receives wireless radio frequency signals or electromagnetic waves, including an antenna, support equipment, and support structures. The term does not include mobile transmitting devices, such as vehicle or hand-held radios and telephones. (c) Permit required. 1. No person shall install, structurally modify, or change in height, dimension, or number of antenna a wireless communication facility in the public right-of-way except upon approval of an administrative permit or a special permit, as provided in this section. 2. Maintenance or repair of existing permitted wireless communication facilities shall be excluded from the permitting requirement of this section. (d) Administrative Permit. - 697- 1. The zoning administrator may issue an administrative permit for the installation, structural modification, or change in height, dimension, or number of antenna of a wireless communication facility in the public right-of-way if: i. The proposed wireless communication facility satisfies the performance standards and other requirements of this section; and ii. If the antenna component of the wireless communication facility will be installed or exists in a residential district or the C-4 district, it will be attached to: 1. An existing support structure; or 2. A replacement or extension of an existing support structure, if the height of the replaced or extended support structure does not exceed the height of the original support structure by more than five (5) feet. In addition, the diameter of the replaced or extended support structure shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the diameter of the original support structure by more than fifty (50) percent; or (ii) eighteen (18) inches. 2. Within ten (10) days after receiving a complete application, the zoning administrator shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for an administrative permit, or shall refer the application to the planning commission for a public hearing. Any decision to deny an administrative permit under this section shall be made in writing and shall state the specific reasons for the denial. If a request for an administrative permit is denied or not acted upon within ten (10) days, or if the conditions imposed thereon are unacceptable to the applicant, then the applicant may, by written notice to the zoning administrator, convert the request for an administrative permit to a request for a special permit. An applicant may, in lieu of and without first seeking an administrative permit hereunder, initially request a special permit for a proposed wireless communication facility. (e) Special permit. 1. Hearing. For any application to install, structurally modify, or change in height, dimension, or number of antenna a wireless communication facility in the public right-of-way that does not meet the criteria for an administrative permit, or for any application to install a new support structure in the public right-of-way in a residential district or C-4 district, the planning commission may issue a special permit after holding a public hearing in accordance with the procedures established in section 42-24 of this chapter. 2. Standards for evaluation of special permit applications. The planning commission may approve, or approve with conditions an application for a special permit in any zoning district after review and consideration of all of the following: i. Conformity with the city’s comprehensive plan; ii. Compatibility with abutting property and surrounding land uses; iii. Adverse impacts such as visual, environmental, or safety impacts; - 698- iv. Color and finish of the proposed facilities; v. Screening potential of existing vegetation, structures and topographic features; vi. Potential for adequate screening of proposed facilities; vii. Scale of facilities in relation to surrounding land uses; viii. Impact on entry corridors into the city; and ix. Impact on landmark structures, historically or architecturally significant structures or districts, or environmentally sensitive areas. 3. Denial of special permit. Any decision to deny a special permit under this section shall be made in writing and shall state the specific reasons for the denial. Any denial by the planning commission may be appealed to the board of commissioners. Any denial by the board of commissioners shall be deemed a final administrative decision, subject to appeal and judicial review. In the event that a special permit application is denied by the planning commission or board of commissioners, no new request for the same or substantially similar administrative or special permit shall be accepted or processed within six (6) months after denial of that application. 4. Protests. The notification and protest area for special permit applications shall be two hundred (200) feet from the proposed site(s) of the wireless communication facilities. If a special permit is approved by the planning commission, affected property owners shall have the same right to present a protest petition to the board of commissioners and appeal that decision as property owners in rezoning cases. (f) Application Requirements. Applications for either an administrative permit or a special permit shall be filed with the zoning administrator and shall include the following information: 1. The name and address of the owner of the proposed wireless communication facilities and the name and address of a person who shall be designated as managing agent in control of and responsible for the proposed facilities. 2. Plans and specifications for the proposed wireless communication facilities drawn to an accurate scale and showing all pertinent information. The application material shall provide sufficient information, as determined by the zoning administrator, to allow a complete review of the proposal and to indicate compliance with all applicable requirements and performance standards provided in this section. 3. A statement explaining the need for the wireless communication facilities to provide or enhance wireless communication services in the area, including a map of the service area for the proposed facilities. For any proposed antennas in the right-of-way abutting any residential district or C-4 district, the applicant shall demonstrate, by providing a coverage or capacity analysis prepared by a professional engineer, that location of the antennas as proposed is necessary to meet the frequency and spacing needs of the wireless system and to provide adequate coverage and capacity to areas which cannot be adequately served by locating the antennas in the public right- of-way abutting a less restrictive zoning district. - 699- 4. If the proposed facilities do not qualify for an administrative permit under subsection (d)(1)(ii), and if requested by the zoning administrator, a statement or study comparing potential sites within the applicable technical limits of the proposed site area. The study shall include a discussion of alternative locations, including existing towers, buildings, or structures located outside of the public right-of-way, and a discussion of the ability or inability of each site to host the proposed facilities. 5. If requested by the zoning administrator, photographic simulations of the proposed facilities as viewed from adjacent properties. 6. A preliminary construction schedule, including estimated completion dates. 7. A completed application for any other permit or approval required by the city code or applicable law. 8. Any other relevant information requested by the zoning administrator, together with all required fees and deposits. (g) Wireless network applications. Where a wireless communication facility is part of a network of wireless communication facilities that will be installed contemporaneously, the zoning administrator may require a single application to be submitted for all facilities that would individually qualify for an administrative or special permit hereunder. The denial of any permit for some of the facilities for which the application is submitted does not require denial of all facilities for which the application is submitted. Special permits that do not satisfy the requirements of subsection (d)(1)(ii) may be conditioned so that the proposed facilities, considered together with the other facilities within the city that are part of the network, are the least intrusive necessary to fill a significant gap in service. (h) Performance criteria. Unless otherwise specified, all wireless communication facilities in the public right-of-way shall comply with the following performance standards. The planning commission may grant a waiver from these standards when the applicant has demonstrated that there is a need to close a significant gap in coverage or capacity that can only be met by placement of the proposed facilities in the proposed location, or if the applicant can demonstrate any technical limitations conflicting with the performance standards, and if the purpose and objectives of this section would be better served thereby. 1. Antennas shall be screened by means of canisters, shrouds or other screening measures and treated with exterior coatings of a color and texture to match the support structure upon which they are attached. 2. Any new or replacement support structure, or any extension of a support structure shall be of new material, and shall match the original and/or surrounding utility or light poles in material, style, design, color, and finish. 3. Antennas shall not extend more than thirty-six (36) inches from the top of the support structure. 4. Support equipment attached to a support structure (excluding ancillary attached electrical equipment, such as an electric meter or breaker panel) shall not exceed six (6) feet in height and - 700- two (2) feet in width, or project more than twenty-four (24) inches horizontally from the support structure. 5. All portions of the wireless communication facilities (other than the support structure and ground-mounted or underground support equipment) shall be located so as to provide adequate roadway clearance, to prevent interference or hazard to pedestrians, vehicular traffic, or other property in the public right-of-way. 6. Cable connecting an antenna to any support equipment shall be contained inside or shall be flush mounted to the support structure and covered with a metal, plastic, or similar material cap that matches the color of the support structure and is properly secured. 7. A new, modified, or replaced support structure shall not exceed eighteen (18) inches in diameter. 8. No signs or advertising shall be allowed on wireless communication facilities, except for small identification, address, warning, and similar information plates approved by the zoning administrator. 9. Wireless communication facilities shall not be artificially illuminated unless required by applicable law to protect the public’s health and safety. (i) Abandonment. 1. Any wireless communication facilities not operated for the provision of personal wireless services for a continuous period of six (6) months or more may be deemed by the city to be abandoned. Upon receipt of a notice of determination of abandonment from the city, the owner shall remove the abandoned wireless communication facilities within ninety (90) days. 2. When an owner has filed with the FCC a notice of intent to cease operations, the owner shall provide the city with a copy of such notice within thirty (30) days. The owner shall remove its wireless communication facilities within ninety (90) days of filing such notice with the FCC. 3. If an owner fails to remove abandoned wireless communication facilities within the time prescribed by this section, the city may remove such facilities at the owner’s sole cost and expense. (j) Support Equipment. 1. All support equipment shall be placed or mounted in the least visually obtrusive location practicable, and shall be screened from view to the maximum extent possible. Support equipment shall be painted or otherwise coated to be visually compatible with the support structure or applicable surroundings. 2.

Use limitations in the I-2 district are as follows: (1) All operations, activities and storage shall be conducted wholly inside a building, or buildings, unless the nearest point of such operation or activity is more than two hundred (200) feet from the boundary of any other zoning district other than an I-2 or I-3 district and except that storage may be maintained outside the building in side or rear yards if such storage area is separated from public streets and other property (except property located in an I-2 or I-3 district) by screening of not less than six (6) feet in height. (2) Servicing and maintenance of vehicles shall be permitted only when such is necessary to the conduct of a permitted use. (3) If a lot in an I-2 district adjoins a residential district, screening shall be provided at the lot lines sufficient to protect, on a year-round basis, the privacy of adjoining residential uses, however, if the property actually utilized for permitted or conditional nonresidential purposes (including accessory parking areas) lies two hundred (200) feet or more from an adjoining residential lot line, no screening is required along that lot line. (4) No building shall be used for residential purposes except that a watchman may reside on the premises. (5) Junkyards, salvage yards, scrap metal processors and wrecking yards, including auto salvage yards, automobile graveyards and car crushing operations that involve the keeping and stacking of salvaged parts and materials and the storage of motor vehicles out of doors have operating characteristics that can be an unsightly detraction from the value, use and enjoyment of adjacent properties. Therefore, these uses are prohibited anywhere except in an I-2 (Light Industrial) and I-3 (Heavy Industrial) zoning district and shall be established only by a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 42-597.2 and shall be subject to such protective conditions that may be warranted by the nature and scale of the salvage operation.

Junkyard, salvage yards, scrap processing and wrecking yard operations shall contain a minimum of two (2) acres, except they may be as small as 20,000 sq. ft. where the site abuts one or more existing operations that exceed two (2) acres in total. 2. All boundaries, as established by the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, shall be designated by fencing or other readily identifiable means such as concrete monuments or - 785- posts. 3. No operation shall be located within five hundred (500) feet of any established residential district. 4. The premises where the operation is conducted shall be enclosed, except for entrances and exits, by means of a nontransparent fence, wall or berm of a minimum height of eight (8) feet measured from ground level. In lieu of a solid wall or fence, chain link fencing may be installed if used in conjunction with a densely planted vegetative screen. Entrances and exits shall have nontransparent gates which shall be closed when the business is not in operation. Required fencing and screening shall be maintained and kept in good repair at all times. 5. No screening fence or wall may be located within a required front yard setback area along a public street or highway. 6. No inoperable vehicles or parts thereof or other salvage material shall be displayed or stored outside the fence enclosure in a required front yard or in any manner designed to attract customers or the general public from any public street or highway. 7.

GENERALLY Sec. 42-401. Purpose. The application of flexible land use controls to the development of land is often difficult or impossible with traditional zoning district regulations. In order to permit the use of more flexible land use regulations and to facilitate use of the most advantageous techniques of land development, the board of commissioners is authorized by Kansas Statutes Annotated, Sections 12-725 through 12-733, to establish planned development districts in which the zoning regulations are in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this chapter, and with the comprehensive plan of the city, but in which such regulations differ in one or more respects from the zoning regulations that are applicable in any of the districts that are established by this chapter. (Code 1966, § 36-700) Sec. 42-402. General provisions. (a) The board of commissioners may, by ordinance, approve the establishment of a planned development district on any parcel or tract of land which is suitable for, and of sufficient size to be planned and developed or redeveloped, as a planned unit development and in a manner consistent with the intent and purpose of this chapter and with the comprehensive plan. (b) A planned development district may be established for a residential planned development or for a general planned development. A development shall be deemed to be a residential planned development when it is limited to dwelling units in detached, semi-detached, attached or multi-storied structures, or any combination thereof; and nonresidential uses of a religious, cultural, recreational and business character that are primarily designed and intended to serve the residents of the residential planned development. A development shall be deemed to be a general planned development when it contains business and/or industrial structures and uses exclusively or when it blends residential structures or dwelling units in a unified plan with business and/or industrial structures and uses. (c) Business and industrial structures and uses in planned development districts shall comply with the limitation of use standards for any commercial or industrial district in which any contemplated use is first permitted in this chapter and with the off-street parking and loading requirements contained in article XI of this chapter. (Code 1966, § 36-701) Sec. 42-403. Standards and criteria for planned developments. (a) For all planned developments. A development plan that is not inconsistent with the standards set out 5 State law references: Planned unit development in cities and counties, K.S.A. 12-725 et seq. - 793- in this section or with such general policies or specific rules and regulations for planned development districts as may be adopted from time to time by the board of commissioners or the planning commission and placed of [on] public record in the office of the zoning administrator shall prima facie be deemed to have qualified for preliminary approval. No such policies, rules or regulations shall be revised or added to so as to be applicable to a specific proposal for a planned development after an application for preliminary approval of a specific development plan has been filed. A development plan shall not be inconsistent with the following general standards for use of land, and the use, type, bulk, design, and location of buildings, the density or intensity of use, the common open space, the public facilities and the development by geographic division of the site: (1) The planned development can be substantially completed within the period of time specified in the schedule of development submitted by the developer. (2) The planned development will not substantially injure or damage the use, value and enjoyment of surrounding property nor hinder or prevent the development of surrounding property in accordance with the land use plan. (3) The site will be accessible from public roads that are adequate to carry the traffic that will be imposed upon them by the proposed development and the streets and driveways on the site of the proposed development will be adequate to serve the residents, occupants, or users of the proposed development. Traffic-control signals will be provided without expense to the city when the board of commissioners determines that such signals are required to prevent traffic hazards or congestion in adjacent streets. (4) The development will not impose an undue burden on public services and facilities, such as fire and police protection. (5) The entire tract or parcel of land to be occupied by the planned development shall be held in a single ownership, or if there are two (2) or more owners, the application for such planned development shall be filed jointly by all such owners. (6) The development plan shall contain such proposed covenants, easements and other provisions relating to the bulk, location and density of residential buildings, nonresidential uses and structures, and public facilities as are necessary for the welfare of the planned development and are not inconsistent with the best interests of the area. Such covenants, easements and other provisions, if part of the development plan as finally approved, may be modified, removed or released only with the consent of the board of commissioners after a public hearing before, and recommendations by, the planning commission as provided in section 42-404(b)(1). All such covenants shall specifically provide for enforcement by the city in addition to the landowners within the development. (7) The planning commission may designate divisible geographic areas of the entire parcel to be developed as a planned unit development and shall, in such case, specify reasonable periods within which development of each such area must be commenced. In the case of residential planned developments and general planned developments which contain residential buildings, the planning commission may permit in each area deviations from the number of dwelling units per acre established for the entire planned development, provided such deviation shall be adjusted for in other sections of the development so that the number of dwelling units per acre authorized for the entire planned development is not affected. The period of time established for the completion of the entire development and the commencement date for each section thereof may be modified from time to time by the planning commission, upon the showing of good cause by the developer, provided that in no case shall any extension of time exceed - 794- twelve (12) months. The developer shall provide and record easements and covenants or shall make such other arrangements, and shall furnish such performance bond, escrow deposit, or other financial guarantees as may be determined by the planning commission to be reasonably required to assure performance in accordance with the development plan and to protect the public interest in the event of abandonment of the plan before completion. (8) The location and arrangement of structures, parking areas, walks, lighting and appurtenant facilities shall be compatible with the surrounding land uses, and any part of a planned development not used for structures, parking and loading areas, or accessways, shall be landscaped or otherwise improved, unless said open space would accomplish the intent of this section if left in its natural state. (9) When business or manufacturing structures or uses in a planned development district abut a residential district or residential buildings in the same development, screening shall be provided. In no event shall a business or manufacturing structure in a planned development district be located nearer than one hundred (100) feet to a residential building. (10) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this chapter, when a shopping center is developed as a planned development district, such shopping center shall provide a parking space in off-street parking for each two hundred (200) square feet of floor area in the structures located in the planned shopping center development. Such off-street parking facilities shall comply with the provisions of article XI of this chapter. (11) The specifications for the width and surfacing of streets and highways, alleys, ways for public utilities, for curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lights, public parks and playgrounds, school grounds, storm drainage, water supply and distribution, sanitary sewers and sewage collection and treatment established in the subdivision regulations of the city, as amended from time to time may, within the limits hereinafter specified, be waived or modified by the planning commission where the commission finds that such specifications are not required in the interests of the residents or occupants of the planned development and that the waiver or modification of such specifications would not be inconsistent with the interests of the city. (12) Any modifications of the zoning or other regulations that would otherwise be applicable to the site are warranted by the design to the development plan, and the amenities incorporated in it, and are not inconsistent with the interest of the public generally. (b) Standards for residential planned developments and general planned developments containing residential buildings. (1) Any development plan that does not propose to increase the number of dwelling units per acre that would otherwise be permitted on the property under the zoning regulations otherwise applicable thereto shall be prima facie qualified for preliminary approval insofar as residential density is concerned. A development plan may provide for a greater number of dwelling units per acre than would be permitted by the zoning regulations otherwise applicable to the site, but if the number of dwelling units per acre exceeds by more than ten (10) percent that permitted by the zoning regulations otherwise applicable to the site, the developer has the burden to show that such excess will not have an undue and adverse impact on existing public facilities and on the reasonable enjoyment of neighboring property. The planning commission, in determining the reasonableness of a proposed increase in the number of dwelling units per acres, shall recognize that increased density may be compensated for by additional private amenities and by increased efficiency in public services to be achieved by the amount, location and proposed use of common open space, and the location, design and type of dwelling units. The planning - 795- commission shall, in its determination, also consider that the physical characteristics of the site may make increased densities appropriate in the particular location. (2) When common open space is provided in a development plan, the amount and location of such common open space shall be consistent with the declared function of the common open space as set forth in the application for a planned development district. The development plan shall include such provisions for the ownership and maintenance of the common open space as are reasonably necessary to ensure its continuity, care, conservation and maintenance, and to ensure that remedial measures will be available to the city if the common open space is permitted to deteriorate or is not maintained in a condition consistent with the best interest of the planned development or of the city. (3) When a planned development includes common open space, such common open space shall not be used for the construction of any structure which is inconsistent with its intended use, nor shall such open space ever be computed as a part of the required minimum lot area, or any required yard, of any other structure. Adequate safeguards, including recorded covenants, shall be provided to prevent the subsequent development and the future construction of structures on such open space. When a structure is permitted in said open space, its construction shall be allowed only after receiving specific approval from the planning commission. (4) The total ground area occupied by buildings and structures shall not exceed thirty-five (35) percent of the total ground area of the planned development. (5) Nonresidential uses of an educational or recreational nature shall be designed or intended primarily for the use of the residents of the planned development. (6) Other nonresidential uses may include and shall be limited to the following: a. Nonresidential uses of the extent such nonresidential uses are designed or intended to serve the residents of the planned development or adjacent neighborhood. Where residential uses are proposed in conjunction with nonresidential uses no structure designed or intended to be used in part or in whole, for business, commercial or industrial purposes shall be constructed prior to the construction of not less than thirty (30) percent of the total number of dwelling units proposed in the development plan. However, if in the opinion of the planning commission, said construction of dwelling units would be contrary to public interest or to the interest of the city as a whole, specific written findings of fact which support such conclusion shall be made and the percentage of required dwelling units may be reduced to the level deemed appropriate within the general purpose and intent of these regulations. b. Commercial or business uses having a major impact upon the city as a whole, or major sub-elements thereof, such as shopping centers, office complexes, major recreational and entertainment facilities, together with such other uses that are designed or intended to serve such activities and uses. c. Industrial parks, including other supporting uses necessary for and designed or intended to serve such activities or uses. (7) Planned developments in areas that are on the fringes of urban development or are in largely undeveloped areas shall maintain the following minimum yards: a. The distance at the closest point between any structure and the boundary of the planned development district shall be at least two (2) times the perpendicular distance from the - 796- lowest first floor window sill to the highest point on the roof of the structure. b. When two (2) or more structures are located in any proposed planned development, the distance at the closest point between any two (2) structures containing residential uses, or between a structure containing residential uses and any other structure, shall be equal to two (2) times the perpendicular distance from the lowest first floor window sill of any structure containing residential uses to the highest point in the roof of the other structure.

(a) Preliminary development plan: (1) A developer seeking the establishment of a planned development district shall prepare and submit to the planning commission a preliminary development plan for such planned development district.

Such public hearing shall consider all aspects of the preliminary development plan including all proposed stages and/or units of development. Within ten (10) days after the last public hearing on such plan, the planning commission shall prepare and transmit to the board of commissioners and to the developer specific findings of fact with respect to the extent to which the preliminary development plan complies with the standards set out in this section, together with its recommendations to the board of commissioners with respect to the action to be taken on the preliminary development plan. The commission may recommend disapproval, approval, or approval with amendments, conditions or restrictions. Copies of the findings and recommendations of the planning commission shall be made available to any other interested persons. (2) Action by the board of commissioners. The board of commissioners shall approve or disapprove the preliminary development plan within twenty-one (21) days after it receives the findings and recommendations of the planning commission thereon. If the preliminary development plan is disapproved, the developer shall be furnished with a written statement of the reasons for disapproval of the plan. If the preliminary development plan is to be approved, the board of commissioners shall, after receiving from the developer any acceptance required by subsection (b)(3) of this section, adopt an ordinance approving the preliminary development plan, and establishing a planned development district for the parcel or tract of land included in the preliminary development plan. (3) Restrictions and conditions. The board of commissioners may alter the preliminary development plan, and impose such restrictions and conditions on the planned development as it may deem necessary to insure that the development will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this chapter and with the comprehensive plan of the city. When the board of commissioners alters the preliminary development plan, or imposes any restrictions or conditions on such plan, the developer shall have fifteen (15) days within which to file an acceptance of such alterations, restrictions or conditions with the board of commissioners. When an acceptance is required by this section, no ordinance approving a preliminary - 798- development plan and establishing a planned development district shall be adopted until such acceptance has been filed with the planning commission. (4) Form of ordinance. An ordinance approving a planned development and establishing a planned development district shall specify the zoning regulations and restrictions that will, pursuant, to the development plan, apply in the planned development district and shall describe the boundaries of such district or set such boundaries out on a map that is incorporated and published as a part of such ordinance. Such ordinance shall also specify the conditions and restrictions that have been imposed by the board of commissioners on the planned development, and the extent to which the otherwise applicable district regulations have been varied or modified. When the planning commission has designated divisible geographic areas that may be developed as a planned development, the ordinance shall authorize the planning commission to modify the schedule of development to the extent set out in section 42-403(a)(7). (Code 1966, § 36-703; Ord. No. 87-9204, § 1, 9-28-87) Sec. 42-405. Status of preliminary development plan after approval. (a) Within seven (7) days after the adoption of an ordinance approving a preliminary development plan and establishing a planned development district such ordinance shall be certified by the city clerk and shall be filed in the office of the zoning administrator. A certified copy shall be mailed to the developer. When approval of a preliminary plan has been granted, the same shall be noted on the zoning map maintained in the office of the zoning administrator. (b) Preliminary approval of a development plan shall not qualify said plan for recording. A development plan which has been given preliminary approval as submitted or which has been given preliminary approval with alterations, conditions and restrictions, which have been accepted by the developer (and provided that the developer has not defaulted or violated any of the conditions of the preliminary approval), shall not be modified or revoked or otherwise impaired by action of the city pending an application or applications for approval of a final development plan without the consent of the developer, provided an application for final approval is filed, or in the case of staged developments, provided applications are filed within the time or times specified in the ordinance granting approval of the preliminary plan. If no time is specified in such ordinance, then an application for approval of a final development plan, or all stages thereof, shall be filed within three (3) years. (c) In the event a development plan is given preliminary approval and thereafter, but prior to approval of a final development plan, the developer shall: (1) Choose to abandon the plan, he shall so notify the planning commission in writing; or (2) Fail to file an application, or applications, for approval of a final plan within the required time period, the preliminary plan shall be deemed to be revoked. (d) When a preliminary plan is revoked, all that portion of the preliminary plan for which final approval has not been given shall be subject to those provisions of the zoning regulations and other local ordinances, that were applicable thereto immediately prior to the approval of the preliminary plan, as they may be amended from time to time. The board of commissioners shall forthwith adopt an ordinance repealing the planned development district for that portion of the development that has not received final approval and reestablishing the zoning and other regulatory provisions that would otherwise be applicable. When a preliminary development plan is revoked, such revocation shall be noted on the zoning map in the office of the zoning administrator and in the records of the city clerk. - 799- (Code 1966, § 36-704) Sec. 42-406. Application for approval of final development plan. (a) An application for approval of a final development plan may be filed for all the land included in an approved planned development district or in phases for an individual tract or tracts within the district. A complete application and required application fees shall be submitted by the developer within the time frame specified in section 42-205(b). (b) The applicant shall submit four (4) copies of all drawings and two (2) copies of all supporting written documents constituting the final development plan application. The application shall include: (1) A final plat or boundary survey showing the location and dimensions of existing and/or proposed lots and blocks, rights-of-way, easements and common areas as well as the acreage of the tract; (2) A detailed site plan showing the location, dimensions and proposed building setbacks of all principal structures, the location and dimensions of all existing and proposed curb cuts, driveways and aisles, public and private streets, off-street parking and loading areas, sidewalks, drainage ways and detention areas; (3) Preliminary building plans, including exterior elevations; (4) The location, height and material of screening walls and fences and the location of outdoor trash storage facilities; (5) Proposed landscaping plans, including the location and planting schedule of all perimeter and interior landscaping and noting any trees or vegetation to be removed; (6) Proposed lighting and signage plans; (7) The location of existing and proposed utilities (water mains, sanitary sewers, storm sewers) in and adjacent to the property; (8) The paving width and type of surfacing proposed for any private streets; (9) The proposed topography or grading plan for the area at a contour interval of not more than two (2) feet; (10) Proof of the establishment of an association or entity to own, manage and maintain the common open space, recreation areas and facilities, private streets and any other area within the development that is to be retained for the exclusive use and benefit of the residents, lessees and owners; (11) Copies of all restrictions or covenants that are to be applied to the development area; (12) Any other information the planning director or planning commission may require in order to give full and complete consideration to the final development plan. (c) A public hearing by the planning commission on an application for approval of a final development plan, or area thereof, shall not be required provided the final plan is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary development plan, or area thereof. A final development plan shall be deemed to be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plan, provided no substantial modifications are proposed by the developer. Substantial modifications shall include: (1) Additions to land uses from those approved with the PDD ordinance; - 800- (2) An increase in the net residential density of more than ten (10) percent; (3) An increase in floor area or lot coverage of more than ten (10) percent; (4) A reduction of open space by more than ten (10) percent or a substantial relocation of open space that would change the character of the development; (5) A substantial change to the elevation of the site, grading plan or drainage plan; (6) Changes to street locations or the traffic circulation plan; (7) Deletions or changes to any restrictions, conditions, or limitations that were included in the approved preliminary development plan or the PDD ordinance. If the final development plan is not in substantial compliance with the preliminary plan, the planning director shall, within twenty-one (21) days of the date the application for approval of the final plan is filed, so notify the developer in writing, setting out the particular ways in which the final plan is not in substantial compliance with the preliminary plan. The developer may make such changes in the final plan as are necessary to bring it into compliance with the preliminary plan, or he may file a written request that the planning commission hold a public hearing on his application for final approval. If the developer shall fail to take either of these alternate actions within sixty (60) days, he shall be deemed to have abandoned the plan. If such public hearing shall be held, notice thereof shall be given, and the hearing shall be conducted in the manner prescribed in section 42-24. Within fourteen (14) days after the conclusion of the public hearing, the planning commission shall either approve or deny the final plan. Said action shall be in the form and contain the findings required for a recommendation on a preliminary development plan. (d) In the event a public hearing is not required and a complete application for final approval has been filed, the planning commission shall, within forty-five (45) days of such filing, grant such plan final approval. Provided however, that in the event a final plan is filed that meets the standards for substantial compliance but contains modifications or variations from the approved preliminary plan which are judged by the planning commission not to be in the public interest, the planning commission may, after discussing recommended revisions with the applicant, refuse to grant final approval. If the applicant does not agree to the revisions suggested by the planning commission or otherwise declines to revise the plan as submitted, the planning commission may deny approval of the plan and return it to the applicant with a written notice setting forth the reasons why one (1) or more modifications are not in the public interest. Such notice shall be mailed within fourteen (14) days of the decision to deny the final development plan. Modifications or variations that might justify denial would be any change or modification that may affect the character or quality of the development or affect the compatibility with nearby properties. Such changes might involve, but are not limited to, the following: the architectural design of buildings and structures, exterior building materials, the orientation of a building, landscaping and screening, signage, lighting, parking, setbacks or the deletion of buildings, structures or common use amenities. Following the denial of a final development plan by the planning commission, the applicant may choose to revise the plan in accordance with the recommendations of the planning commission and resubmit it for approval, or may within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of denial, choose to appeal the decision of the planning commission to the governing body for final decision. (e) Following approval of a final development plan by the planning commission or approval on appeal by the governing body, all required signatures shall be affixed to the final development plan. The approved final development plan and all other final plan documents shall be filed in the zoning - 801- administrator's office. All applicable covenants and owners association documents must be approved and filed in the register of deeds office prior to issuance of any building permits. (f) If a final development plan is approved and thereafter the developer shall abandon part or all of said development plan and shall notify the planning commission in writing, then no further development shall take place and the governing body shall adopt an ordinance repealing the planned development district ordinance and rezoning the property back to the zoning district classification which existed just prior to the application for a planned development district. The property owner may make application for rezoning to some other zoning district classification and the planning commission shall consider the application in the same manner as for any application for rezoning. If the developer fails to commence the construction of an approved final development plan within 18 months of the approval date and has not applied for an extension of the above time limits, the planning commission shall revoke its approval of the final plan and shall so notify the developer in writing. If, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice of such revocation, the developer does not present to the planning commission an application for reinstatement of the final development plan, the planning commission shall consider that the plan in question has been abandoned and the governing body shall adopt an ordinance repealing the planned development district ordinance and rezoning the subject property back to its former zoning classification. (Code 1966, § 36-705; Ord. No. 97-9835, § 1, 11-10-97) Sec. 42-407. Amendments. A planned development district ordinance or an approved preliminary or final development plan may be amended by the board of commissioners, but only after a public hearing has been held pursuant to notice by section 42-24(b) and findings of fact and recommendations have been prepared by the planning commission and transmitted to the board of commissioners in the manner required by section 42- 404(b)(1). Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring a public hearing in the case of minor alterations. The determination of the need for a public hearing shall be at the discretion of the zoning administrator. (Code 1966, § 36-706) Sec. 42-408. Recording. Upon approval of the final development plan by the planning commission, the same, together with the final subdivision plat shall be recorded with the register of deeds in the manner prescribed in the subdivision regulations. (Code 1966, § 36-707) DIVISION 2. REZONING TO A PLANNED COMMERCIAL DISTRICT Sec. 42-409. Purpose. If an applicant for rezoning to a commercial district has a specific development proposal and wishes to present it as such or if the planning commission believes that submittal of a site development plan is needed to ensure that the development will be compatible with surrounding neighborhoods, then the applicant may file an application for rezoning to a planned commercial district. The rezoning of land in Salina to one (1) of the planned commercial districts shall be for the propose of encouraging and requiring orderly commercial development of a quality generally equal to that of the standard commercial districts but permitting deviations from the underlying district regulations. The use of - 802- planned zoning procedures is intended to encourage efficient development of relatively small, separate tracts of land under one (1) ownership, and innovative and imaginative site planning which will minimize detrimental effects on the surrounding neighborhood. Such procedures are authorized by Kansas Statutes Annotated, 12-725 through 12-733. (Ord. No. 87-9201, § 1, 9-21-87) Sec. 42-410. Standards of development. (a) A proposal to rezone land to a planned commercial district shall be subject to the same criteria relative to neighborhood compatibility, conformance to the comprehensive plan, adequacy of streets and utilities and other land use policies normally utilized in making zoning decisions in Salina. (b) The submittal by the developer and the approval by the city of site development plans represents a firm commitment that actual development will follow the approved site development plan in architectural concept, intensity of use, landscaping and screening and quantity of open space. (c) Commercial and office buildings should be planned and developed so as to avoid strip development patterns along thoroughfares. Control of vehicular access, architectural style, landscaping and signage will be exercised to soften the impact on nearby residential neighborhoods, and to minimize adverse effects on the adjacent street system. (d) The uses allowed in planned commercial districts shall be: 1. The same permitted uses as the permitted uses listed for the underlying zoning district, as amended from time to time; except that the board of commissioners may limit the permitted uses at the time of the initial planned commercial district approval if it deems necessary to protect the interests of neighboring property owners; and 2. Any conditional use approved from among the conditional uses listed for the underlying zoning district, as amended from time to time, either (a) by the board of commissioners as part of the initial planned commercial district approval or (b) subsequently by the planning commission pursuant to Section 42-597.2. Any conditions imposed by the board of commissioners at the time of the initial planned commercial district approval shall apply to any subsequently-approved conditional use. (e) The maximum height of buildings and structures, setback and bulk of buildings, amount of lot coverage, paring requirements, screening, lighting and other performance standards shall be generally equal to those required in the equivalent standard zoning district; however, deviations from these requirements may be approved if it is deemed that other features and amenities will be gained. In addition, conditions and restrictions may be imposed on the plan to ensure that more appropriate development is produced and adverse impacts are avoided. (Ord. No. 87-9201, § 1, 9-21-87; Ord. No. 16-10823 § 1, 3-7-16) Sec. 42-411. Rezoning property for planned commercial development. Application for rezoning property to a planned commercial district shall consist of a standard application for a zoning map amendment as set forth in section 42-23. The applicant shall specifically state what zoning classification is being requested (PC-1, PC-2, PC-3, PC-4, PC-5 or PC-6), provide a list of proposed uses and list any deviations from the bulk and use limitations that are being requested. The applicant shall also submit a site development plan for purposes of depicting the character and scale of the proposed project. The same procedures as set forth in article II for the adoption of an original zoning ordinance or amendment thereto shall be followed by the planning commission and board of commissioners in the establishment of a planned commercial district. (Ord. No. 87-9201, § 1, 9-21-87) - 803- Sec. 42-412. Content of site development plan. A site development plan shall be prepared by a registered architect, engineer or surveyor at a scale of one inch equals fifty (50) feet, or one inch equals one hundred (100) feet on a tract of land containing five (5) acres or more, for any proposed development on property proposed for rezoning.

(b) A site development plan submitted with a rezoning application shall be scheduled for the planning commission's consideration and public review at the same public hearing as the rezoning application is to be considered. (c) The planning commission shall review the plan to determine if it demonstrates a satisfactory quality of design and compatibility with other uses and structures in the neighborhood. (d) The planning commission shall prepare and transmit to the board of commissioners and to the developer its findings with respect to the extent to which the site development plan complies with the standards set out in this section together with its recommendation to the board of commissioners with respect to the action to be taken on the site development plan. The planning commission shall either: - 804- (1) Recommend approval or disapproval of the plan as submitted; or (2) Recommend approval of the plan subject to certain revisions or conditions; or (3) Recommend that the plan be resubmitted to the planning commission after substantial revisions to the plan are made. (Ord. No. 87-9201, § 1, 9-21-87) Sec. 42-414. Form of ordinance. An ordinance establishing a planned commercial district shall specify the zoning regulations that will apply within the planned commercial district and shall describe the boundaries of such district. Such ordinance shall also specify the conditions and restrictions that have been imposed by the board of commissioners on the planned commercial development, and the extent to which the otherwise applicable district regulations have been varied and modified. (Ord. No. 87-9201, § 1, 9-21-87) Sec. 42-415. Status of site development plan after approval. (a) No change of zone to a planned commercial district shall take effect until a site development plan containing all required revisions is approved by the board of commissioners. A copy of the approved site development plan shall be filed in the office of the zoning administrator and noted on the official zoning map prior to the issuance of any building permits. The approved site plan shall be incorporated by reference in the ordinance creating a planned commercial district. (b) Approved development plans shall become null and void eighteen (18) months from the date of approval if a building permit has not been issued during that time period. However, upon written request from the property owner or authorized agent, the board of commissioners may grant an extension of the time limit for a specified length of time not to exceed one additional year. (c) If the applicant fails to obtain a building permit within the valid time limit, the site development plan shall be deemed to be revoked and the subject property shall automatically revert to its former zoning classification. (Ord. No. 87-9201, § 1, 9-21-87) Sec. 42-416. Recording of approval. After rezoning to a planned commercial district has been approved, the landowner shall file or record with the register of deeds a statement that a plan for the area has been approved, that such plan is applicable to certain specified legally described land, and that copies of said plan are available in the office of the zoning administrator. The statement shall specify the area covered by the plan, the proposed density or intensity of land uses and other pertinent information sufficient to notify any prospective purchasers or users of land of the existence of such a plan. The recorded statement shall specify that the site development plan shall become binding upon all successors and assigns unless it is formally amended or expires for failure to obtain building permits. (Ord. No. 87-9201, § 1, 9-21-87) Sec. 42-417. Amendments. A planned commercial district ordinance or an approved site development plan may be amended by the board of commissioners, but only after a public hearing has been held pursuant to notice by section 42- 24 and findings of fact and recommendations have been prepared by the planning commission and transmitted to the board of commissioners for final action as required for original approval.

(Ord. No. 06-10366, § 1, 1-8-07) Sec. 42-425. Reserved. ARTICLE VIII FLOOD PLAIN ZONING DISTRICT6 DIVISION 1. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT AND PURPOSES Sec. 42-426. Statutory authorization. The Legislature of the State of Kansas. has in K.S.A. 12-705, 12-707, 12-710, 12-734 and 12-735 delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt zoning regulations designed to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. (Ord. No. 86-9119, § 1, 2-3-86) Sec. 42-427. Findings of fact. (a) Flood losses resulting from periodic inundation. The flood hazard areas of the City of Salina, 6 Editor's note: Ord. No. 86-9119, § 6, adopted February 3, 1986, repealed Art. VIII, §§ 42-426--42-439, in its entirety, and § 6 of the same ordinance enacted new provisions included herein as §§ 42-426--42-449. Former §§ 42-426--42-439, derived from the Code of 1966, §§ 36-800--36-813. Cross references: Flood prevention and control, Ch. 15. State law references: Floodplain regulation, K.S.A. 12-734 et seq. - 815- Kansas, are subject to inundation which may result in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare. (b) General causes of these flood losses. These flood losses are caused by: (1) The cumulative effect of obstruction in floodways causing increases in flood heights and velocities; and (2) The occupancy of flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to others which are inadequately elevated or otherwise unprotected from flood damages. (c) Methods used to analyze flood hazards. This article uses a reasonable method of analyzing flood hazards which consists of a series of interrelated steps. (1) Selection of a base flood which is based upon engineering calculations which permit a consideration of such flood factors as its expected frequency of occurrence, the area inundated, and the depth of inundation. The base flood selected for this ordinance is representative of large floods which are reasonably characteristic of what can be expected to occur on the particular streams subject to this ordinance. It is in the general order of a flood which could be expected to have a one percent chance of occurrence in any one year, as delineated on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Flood Insurance Study, and illustrative materials dated February 5, 1986, as amended, and any future changes thereto. (2) Calculation of water surface profiles based upon an hydraulic engineering analysis of the capacity of the stream channel and over-bank areas to convey the base flood. (3) Computation of the floodway required to convey this flood without increasing flood heights more than one foot at any point. (4) Delineation of floodway encroachment lines within which no obstruction is permitted which would cause any increase in flood height. (5) Delineation of floodway fringe, i.e., that area outside the floodway encroachment lines but which still is subject to inundation by the base flood. (Ord. No. 86-9119, § 1, 2-3-86) Sec. 42-428. Statement of purpose. It is the purpose of this article to promote and protect the public health, safety and general welfare and to minimize those losses described in section 42-427(a) by applying the provisions of this article to: (a) Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, or property in times of flooding or cause undue increases in flood heights or velocities. (b) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including public facilities which serve such uses, be provided with flood protection at the time of initial construction. (c) Protect individuals from buying lands which are unsuited for certain purposes because of flood hazard. (d) Assure that eligibility is maintained for property owners in the community to purchase flood insurance in the national flood insurance program. (Ord. No. 86-9119, § 1, 2-3-86) DIVISION 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS - 816- Sec. 42-429. Lands to which the article applies. (a) The Flood Insurance Study of the City of Salina, Kansas (effective date: February 5, 1986), including the flood boundary and floodway map (floodway map) and the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) issued by the federal emergency management agency is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference for the purpose of identifying all lands within the jurisdiction of the City of Salina, Kansas, to which this article shall apply. No fewer than three (3) copies of the flood insurance study adopted above have been filed in both the office of the city clerk and the office of the zoning administrator and are available for examination by the public during normal office hours. (b) This article shall apply to all lands within the jurisdiction of the City of Salina, Kansas, identified on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) as numbered and unnumbered A zones (including the AH zone) and within the zoning districts FW and FF established in division 4 of this article. In all areas covered by this article, no development shall be permitted except upon issuance of a permit to develop granted by the City of Salina or its duly designated representative under such safeguards and restrictions as the City of Salina or the designated representative may reasonably impose for the promotion and maintenance of the general welfare, health and safety of the inhabitants of the community and where specifically noted in divisions 5, 6 and 7. (Ord. No. 86-9119, § 1, 2-3-86) Sec. 42-430. Rules for interpretation of district boundaries. (a) The boundaries of the floodway (FW) and floodway fringe (FF) overlay districts shall be determined by scaling distances on the official zoning map or on the flood insurance rate map or floodway map. Where interpretation is needed to determine the exact location of the boundaries of the districts as shown on the official zoning map, as for example where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions, the zoning administrator shall make the necessary interpretation. In such cases where the interpretation is contested, the board of zoning appeals will resolve the dispute. The base flood elevation for the point in question shall be the governing factor in locating the district boundary on the land. The person contesting the location of the district boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present his case to the board and to submit his own technical evidence, if he so desires. (b) Any flood plain district designated on the official zoning map pursuant to prior ordinance shall be lifted from the official zoning map and shall be of no further force or effect. (Ord. No. 86-9119, § 1, 2-3-86) Sec. 42-431. Compliance. No development located within known flood hazard areas of this community shall be located, extended, converted or structurally altered without full compliance with the terms of this article and other applicable regulations. (Ord. No. 86-9119, § 1, 2-3-86) Sec. 42-432. Warning and disclaimer of liability. The degree of flood protection required by this article is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and scientific methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions or the flood height may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. This article does not imply that areas outside floodway and floodway fringe district boundaries or land uses permitted within such districts will be free from flooding or flood damages. This article shall not create liability on the part of the City of Salina, Kansas or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that may result from reliance on this article or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. (Ord. No. 86-9119, § 1, 2-3-86) - 817- Sec. 42-433. Appeal. Where a request for a permit to develop is denied by the zoning administrator the applicant may appeal such denial for such permit directly to the board of zoning appeals. (Ord. No. 86-9119, § 1, 2-3-86) DIVISION 3. DEVELOPMENT PERMIT Sec. 42-434. Permit required. No person, firm or corporation shall initiate any development or substantial improvement or cause the same to be done without first obtaining a separate permit for development as defined in article XIV. (Ord. No. 86-9119, § 1, 2-3-86) Sec. 42-435. Administration. (a) The zoning administrator is hereby appointed to administer and implement the provisions of this article. (b) Duties of the zoning administrator shall include, but not be limited to: (1) Review of all development permits to assure that sites are reasonably safe from flooding and that the permit requirements of this article have been satisfied. (2) Review of permits for proposed development to assure that all necessary permits have been obtained from those federal, state. or local governmental agencies from which prior approval is required.

A certificate of appropriateness shall be required before the following actions affecting the exterior architectural appearance of any landmark or property within an historic district may be undertaken: (1) Any construction, alteration or removal requiring a building permit from the City of Salina; (2) Any demolition in whole or in part requiring a demolition permit from the city; (3) Any construction, alteration, demolition or removal affecting a significant exterior architectural or historical feature as specified in the ordinance designating the landmark or historic district. However, such requirement shall not apply to such repairs and maintenance measures minimally required to prevent additional loss or harm to the structure resulting from accidental or natural causes. Nothing in this article shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair of a structure or building. (b) Application for certificate of appropriateness. A copy of every application for a demolition permit or a building permit, including any accompanying plans and specifications, affecting the exterior - 830- architectural appearance of a landmark or of a property within an historic district will be forwarded to the heritage commission and shall initiate an application for a certificate of appropriateness. The building inspection department shall not issue the demolition or building permit until a certificate of appropriateness has been issued by the heritage commission. Application for review of construction, alteration, demolition or removal not requiring a building permit for which a certificate of appropriateness is required shall be initiated on a form prepared by the heritage commission. (c) Determination by heritage commission: (1) Any applicant may request a meeting with the heritage commission before the application is received or during the review of the application. The commission shall consider the completed application at a regular or special meeting. To prevent unnecessary delay in construction, the administrator may issued certificates of appropriateness for the renovation or reconstruction of any structure when such work substantially reproduces the existing design and is performed in the existing material. The chairman or vice-chairman shall cosign any certificates of appropriateness issued in this manner. (2) The chairman of the commission may appoint a subcommittee of four (4) of its members to review applications for a certificate of appropriateness for all types of actions except demolitions when delay to the next regular meeting would create an unnecessary inconvenience to the applicant. A certificate of appropriateness may be issued prior to the next regular meeting upon the signatures of all but one (1) of the members of that subcommittee. (3) The commission shall review the application and issue or deny the certificate of appropriateness within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the application. Written notice of the decision shall be provided to the applicant and the building inspection department within seven (7) days following the determination and shall be accompanied by a certificate of appropriateness in the case of approval. (d) Denial of certificate of appropriateness: (1) A denial of a certificate of appropriateness shall be accompanied by a statement of the reasons for the denial. The heritage commission shall make recommendations to the applicant concerning changes, if any, in the proposed project that would cause the commission to reconsider its denial and shall confer with the applicant and attempt to resolve as quickly as possible the differences between the owner and the commission. The applicant may resubmit an amended application or reapply for a building or demolition permit that takes into consideration the recommendations of the commission. (2) Any person dissatisfied with a determination by the heritage commission concerning a certificate of appropriateness may file an appeal to the city commission within fourteen (14) days of the date of notification of that determination. The city commission must act on this request within thirty (30) days of receipt and must hold a public hearing on the appeal. (e) Standards for review: (1) An application for a certificate of appropriateness shall be evaluated on a sliding scale, depending upon the designation of the building, structure, site or object in question. The certificate shall be evaluated upon the following criteria: a. Most careful scrutiny and consideration shall be given to applications for designated landmarks; b. Slightly less scrutiny shall be applied to properties designated as "contributory" within an historic district; - 831- c. The least stringent evaluation is applied to "noncontributory" properties of a landmark or historic district. There shall be a presumption that a certificate of appropriateness should be approved in this category unless the proposed construction or demolition would significantly encroach upon, damage or destroy the landmark or historic district. If the heritage commission denies a certificate of appropriateness in this category, and the owner appeals to the city commission, the burden to affirm said denial shall be upon the heritage commission and the city commission. (2) In considering an application for a certificate of appropriateness, the heritage commission shall be guided by the following general standards in addition to any design criteria in this article and in the ordinance designating the landmark or historic district: a. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property that requires minimal alteration of a building, structure, site or object and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose. b. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural feature should be avoided when possible. c. All buildings, structures and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and that seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged. d. Changes that may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure or site and its environment. These changes may have acquired significance in their own right and this significance shall be recognized and respected. e. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship that characterize a building, structure or site shall be treated with sensitivity. f. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, wherever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplication of features, substantiated by historic, physical or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or structures. g. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken. h. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve archaeological resources affected by, or adjacent to, any project. i. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material, and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material and character of the property or neighborhood. (f) Design criteria: (1) The purpose of the following design criteria is to encourage preservation of intact significant properties, restoration of significant properties, restoration of significant properties that have - 832- already undergone insensitive alterations, and new construction, as long as such complements existing buildings and streetscapes. It is not the intention of these criteria to discourage new architectural styles. (2) In considering any application for a certificate of appropriateness, the commission shall consider the standards for review listed in paragraph (e) above and the following design criteria: a. Alterations. Specific design criteria for exterior alterations of landmarks and contributing properties within historic districts shall be based on the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, as published in section 36, Code of Federal Regulation, part 67, and as revised from time to time, and by further reference to such specific design criteria as the commission may require for the designation of the landmark or historic district. b. New construction and additions to existing buildings: 1. The design for new construction shall be sensitive to and take into account the special characteristics that the district is established to protect. Such consideration may include, but should not be limited to, building scale, height, orientation, site coverage, spatial separation from other buildings, facade and window patterns, entrance and porch size and general design, materials, textures, color, architectural details, roof forms, emphasis on horizontal or vertical elements, walls, fences, landscaping and other features deemed appropriate by the commission. 2. New buildings need not duplicate older styles of architecture but must be compatible with the architecture within the district. Styles of architecture will be controlled only to ensure that their exterior design, materials and color are in harmony with neighboring structures. c. Demolition, relocation and land surface change: 1. Demolition in whole or in part of individual landmarks or any contributory structure within an historic district shall ordinarily not be permitted. Exceptions are allowed only if a structure has been substantially damaged through fire, windstorm, flood or deterioration, and if there is reasonable proof that it would not be economically or physically feasible to rehabilitate. Other exceptions may be allowed if a structure does not possess the integrity, originality, craftsmanship, age or historical significance to merit preservation. However, demolition of past additions which have not gained historical significance and which have disguised or sheathed original elements or facades are encouraged, as long as the intention is to restore such elements or facades. 2. Structures should not be removed from their original site. Exceptions will be allowed only if there is substantial evidence that it would not be practical or economical to utilize the building on its present site. If a structure lies in the path of a public improvement project involving the City of Salina, and if the building is worthy of preservation by virtue of its integrity, originality, craftsmanship, age or historical significance, relocation may be considered as an alternative. 3. Substantial change of land surface within the boundaries of a landmark or historic district should not be permitted. Exceptions will be allowed only if there is substantial evidence that the change would not be detrimental to the historical and architectural character of surrounding structures or landscaping. - 833- d. Signage guidelines. The heritage commission shall receive copies of any request for permit, appeal or variance regarding a sign to be located on a landmark or within an historic district. The commission shall review and approve such requests under the procedures set forth within this section for other permits, subject to the following guidelines: 1. Signs should be designed and placed so as to appear an integral part of the building design, in proportion to the structure and environment and to respect neighboring properties within historic districts. 2. Obscuring or disrupting important design elements is discouraged. Signs should be designed with appropriateness relative to the services of the establishment served. 3. Signs should be maintained if they are determined to be an original part of the building or if they have acquired significance by virtue of their age, design, materials, craftsmanship or historical significance. 4. Illumination of signs should be properly shielded or diffused so as to eliminate glare and be of a low enough wattage to not detract from or set apart the structure. 5. Descriptive signs as an integral part of the structure are encouraged. Such signs could include building dates, historic descriptions, commemorations, etc. 6. Freestanding signs may be considered, if appropriate and necessary to preserve the character of the landmark or historic district. e. Accessory structures and landscaping: 1. Existing characteristics such as trees, walls, stairs, paving materials, fencing, walkways and other similar structures or site features that reflect the landmark or historic district's history and development shall be retained. 2. Landscaping should be appropriate to the scale and the unique features of the landmark or historic district. 3. Accessory structures to a designated landmark or within the boundaries of a designated historic district shall be appropriate to and compatible with the architectural features of the primary structures. Structures accessory to noncontributory buildings within a designated historic district shall be so designed as to not detract from the historical or architectural character of the district. (3) Within each of the designated categories, the design criteria will be applied more stringently to properties of greater significance than those with lesser significance as determined by their respective designation. The heritage commission may prepare and adopt more specific design guidelines as it deems necessary to supplement the provisions of this division for the review of certificates of appropriateness. The city commission must first approve such additional design guidelines before said guidelines shall become effective. (Ord. No. 90-9387, § 1, 6-25-90) Sec. 42-465. Certificate of economic hardship. (a) Purpose. A certificate of economic hardship serves as an alternative to and wherever a certificate of appropriateness would otherwise be required. The purpose of the certificate of economic hardship is to provide relief where the application of this article would otherwise impose undue hardship. (b) Application for certificate. Application for a certificate of economic hardship shall be made on a - 834- form prepared by the heritage commission. Such application may be made in conjunction with or separately from an application for, or upon the denial of, a certificate of appropriateness. The commission shall hold a public hearing concerning such applications within thirty (30) days of receipt of application. The administrator shall assist all applicants in the preparation of applications for certificates of economic hardship. Every reasonable effort shall be made to limit the costs to the applicant and to assure efficient processing of the application. The commission shall require the submission of financial documents, professional reports and expert testimony only when they are necessary to review an application. The commission may solicit expert testimony or request that the applicant for a certificate of economic hardship make submissions concerning any or all of the following information before it makes a determination on the application: (1) Estimate of the cost of the proposed construction, alteration, demolition or removal, and an estimate of any additional cost that would be incurred to comply with the recommendations of the commission for changes for the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness. (2) A report from qualified or bonded persons with experience in rehabilitation as to the structural soundness of any structures on the property and their suitability for rehabilitation. (3) Estimated market value of the property in its current condition; after completion of the proposed construction, alteration, demolition, or removal; and after any changes recommended by the commission; and, in the case of a proposed demolition, after renovation of the existing property for continued use. (4) In the case of a proposed demolition, an estimate from an architect, developer, real estate consultant, appraiser or other real estate professional experienced in rehabilitation as to the economic feasibility of rehabilitation or reuse of the existing structure on the property. (5) If the property is income-producing, the annual gross income from the property for the previous two (2) years; itemized operating and maintenance expenses for the previous two (2) years; and depreciation, deduction and annual cash flow before and after debt service, if any, during the same period. (6) Remaining balance on any mortgage or other financing secured by the property and annual debt service, if any, for the previous two (2) years. (7) All appraisals obtained within the previous two (2) years by the owner or applicant in connection with the purchase, financing or ownership of the property.

(12) Any other information considered necessary by the commission to a determination as to whether the property does yield or may yield a reasonable return to the owners. (c) Determination. The commission shall review all the evidence and information required of an applicant for a certificate of economic hardship and make a determination within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the application whether the denial of the application will deprive the owner of the - 835- property of reasonable use of, or reasonable economic return on, the property. Written notice of the determination shall be provided in the same manner as notification of a determination concerning a certificate of appropriateness. (d) Appeal. Any person dissatisfied with a determination by the heritage commission concerning a certificate of economic hardship may file an appeal to the city commission within fourteen (14) days of the date of notification of that determination. The city commission must act on this request within thirty (30) days of receipt and must hold a public hearing on the matter. (Ord. No. 90-9387, § 1, 6-25-90) Sec. 42-466.

No. 15-10799, § 1, 9-21-2015) Sec. 42-817. Aircraft use zones. In order to carry out the provisions of this article, there are hereby created and established certain zones which include all of the land lying within the instrument approach zones, noninstrument approach zones, transition zones, horizontal zone and conical zone. Such areas and zones are shown on Salina Regional Airport airspace drawings found in the June 2014 Airport Layout Plans for the Salina Regional Airport, which were prepared in compliance with FAA requirements and 14 CFR Federal Aviation Regulation, Part 77, and are incorporated by reference as an amendment to the Zoning District Map of the City. The 2014 Airport Layout Plans for the Salina Regional Airport are on file in the office of the zoning administrator and available in electronic form at www.salinaairport.com. The various zones are hereby established and defined as follows: (1) Instrument approach zone. An instrument approach zone is established at each end of the instrument runway for instrument landings and takeoffs. The instrument approach zones shall have a width of one thousand (1,000) feet at a distance of two hundred (200) feet beyond each end of the runway, widening thereafter uniformly to a width of sixteen thousand (16,000) feet at a distance of fifty thousand two hundred (50,200) feet beyond each end of the runway, its center line being the continuation of the centerline of the runway. (2) VFR approach zone. A visual flight rules (VFR) approach zone shall have a width of two hundred fifty (250) feet at a distance of two hundred (200) feet beyond each end of the runway widening thereafter uniformly to a width of one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) feet at a distance of five thousand two hundred (5,200) feet beyond each end of the runway. (3) Transition zones. Transition zones are hereby established adjacent to each runway and approach zone as indicated on the zoning map. Transition zones symmetrically located on either side of - 905- runways have variable widths as shown on the airspace drawing. The transition zones extend from all runways at a slope upward and outward one (1) foot vertically for each seven (7) feet horizontally to the point where they intersect the horizontal surface. Additionally, transition zones are established adjacent to the instrument approach zone where it projects through and beyond the limits of the conical zone, extending a distance of five thousand (5,000) feet measured horizontally from the edge of the instrument approach zones at right angles to the continuation of the centerline of the runway. (4) Horizontal surface. The horizontal surface is a horizontal plane one hundred fifty (150) feet above the established airport elevation, the perimeter of which is constructed by swinging arcs of specified radii from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway and connecting the adjacent arcs. The radius of each arc is: (1) five thousand (5,000) feet for all runways designated as visual; and (2) ten thousand (10,000) feet for all other runways. The radius of the arc specified for each end of a runway will have the same arithmetical value. That value will be the highest determined for either end of the runway. When a five thousand (5,000) foot arc is encompassed by tangents connecting two adjacent ten thousand (10,000) foot arcs, the five thousand (5,000) foot arc shall be disregarded on the construction of the perimeter of the horizontal surface. (5) Conical surface. The conical surface is hereby established as a surface extending outward and upward from the periphery of the horizontal surface at a slope of one (1) foot vertically for each twenty (20) feet horizontally for a horizontal distance of four thousand (4,000) feet. (Ord. No. 92-9534, § 1, 9-21-92; Ord. No. 15-10799, § 1, 9-21-2015) Sec. 42-818. Height limitations. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this article, no structure or tree shall be erected, altered, allowed to grow, or maintained in any zone created by this article to a height in excess of the height limit herein established for such zone. Such height limitations are hereby established for each of the zones in question as follows: (1) Instrument approach zone. One (1) foot in height for each fifty (50) feet in horizonal distance beginning at a point two hundred (200) feet from and at the center line elevation of the end of the instrument runway and extending a distance of ten thousand two hundred (10,200) feet from the end of the runway; thence one (1) foot in height for each forty (40) feet in horizontal distance to a point fifty thousand two hundred (50,200) feet from the end of the runway; (2) Visual approach zones. One (1) foot in height for each twenty (20) feet in horizontal distance beginning at a point two hundred (200) feet from and at the centerline elevation at the end of the noninstrument runway and extending to a point five thousand two hundred (5,200) feet from the end of the runway; (3) Transition zones. One (1) foot in height for each seven (7) feet in horizontal distance beginning at any point five hundred (500) feet at the elevation of the centerline of the instrument runway, extending two hundred (200) feet beyond each end thereof, extending to a height of one hundred fifty (150) feet above the airport elevation. In addition to the foregoing, there are established height limits of one (1) foot vertical height for each seven (7) feet horizontal distance measured from the edges of all approach zones for the entire length of the approach zones and extending upward and outward to the points where they intersect the horizontal or conical surfaces. Further, where the instrument approach zone projects through and beyond the conical surface a height limit of one (1) foot for each seven (7) feet of horizontal distance shall be maintained beginning at the edge of the instrument approach zone and extending a distance - 906- of five thousand (5,000) feet from the edge of the instrument approach zone measured normal to the centerline of the runway extended; (4) Horizontal surface. One hundred fifty (150) feet above the airport elevation or a height of one thousand four hundred thirty-five (1,435) feet above mean sea level; (5) Conical surface. One (1) foot in height for each twenty (20) feet of horizontal distance beginning at the periphery of the horizontal surface, extending three hundred fifty (350) feet above the airport elevation; and (6) Excepted height limitations. Nothing in this article shall be construed as prohibiting the growth, construction or maintenance of any tree or structure to a height up to seventy-five (75) feet above the surface of the land; except when, because of the terrain, land contour or topographic features, such tree or structure would extend above the height limits prescribed for such zone. (b) Where an area is covered by more than one (1) height limitation, the more restrictive limitations shall prevail. (Ord. No. 92-9534, § 1, 9-21-92; Ord. No. 15-10799, § 1, 9-21-2015) Sec. 42-819. Use restrictions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, no use may be made of land within any zone established by this article in such a manner as to create electrical interference with radio communication between the airport and aircraft, make it difficult for flyers to distinguish between airport lights and others, result in glare in the eyes of flyers using the airport, impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport or otherwise endanger the landing, taking off, or maneuvering of aircraft. (Ord. No. 92-9534, § 1, 9-21-92; Ord. No. 15-10799, § 1, 9-21-2015) Sec. 42-820. Nonconforming uses. (a) Regulations not retroactive. The regulations provided by this article shall not be construed to require the removal, lowering or other change or alteration of any structure or tree not conforming to the regulations as of September 21, 1992 as amended, or otherwise interfere with continuance of any nonconforming use, except as provided in subsection 3 of Section 3-707 of the General Statutes Supplement of 1947, or any amendments thereto; provided, however, that the city may require upon thirty (30) days' notice in writing any person owning and maintaining any nonconforming pole or pole line upon the roads and highways immediately adjoining the airport to remove, lower, change, or alter said nonconforming pole or pole line, upon prior payment by the city to said person of the reasonable and necessary expense of removing, lowering, changing, or altering the pole or pole line; or in lieu thereof to execute a good and sufficient bond with corporate surety thereon as security for the payment of the reasonable and necessary expense of removing, lowering, changing, or altering such pole or pole lines. Reasonable and necessary expense of removing, lowering, changing or altering the pole or pole line shall include, among other items of expense, the actual cost of (1) constructing underground conduits and the construction of such wires and equipment in such conduits, and (2) rerouting wires together with the poles, cross arms and other equipment connected thereto, together with the cost of any of a new right-of-way made necessary by such rerouting. (b) Marking and lighting. Notwithstanding the preceding provision of this section, the owner of any nonconforming structure or tree is hereby required to permit the installation, operation, and maintenance thereon of such markers and lights as shall be deemed necessary by the building official to indicate to the operators of aircraft in the vicinity of the airport, the presence of such airport hazards. Such markers and lights shall be installed, operated, and maintained at the expense of the city. - 907- (Ord. No. 92-9534, § 1, 9-21-92; Ord. No. 15-10799, § 1, 9-21-2015) Sec. 42-821. Permits. (a) Future uses. No material change shall be made in the use of land and no structure or tree shall be erected, altered, planted or otherwise established in any zone hereby created unless a permit therefor shall have been applied for and granted. Each application for a permit shall indicate the purpose for which the permit is desired, with sufficient particularity to permit it to be determined whether the resulting use, structure or tree would conform to the regulations herein prescribed. If such determination is in the affirmative, the permit shall be granted. (b) Existing uses. No permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of an airport hazard or permit a nonconforming use, structure, or tree to be made or become higher, or become a greater hazard to air navigation, than it was on September 21, 1992, or on the effective date of any amendment to this article, or than it is when the application for a permit is made. Except as indicated, all applications for such a permit shall be granted. (c) Nonconforming uses abandoned or destroyed. Whenever the building official determines that a nonconforming structure or tree has been abandoned or more than eighty (80) percent torn down, physically deteriorated, or decayed, no permit shall be granted that would allow such structure of tree to exceed the applicable height limit or otherwise deviate from the zoning regulations. (d) Variances. Any person desiring to erect or increase the height of any structure, or permit the growth of any tree, or use his property, not in accordance with the regulations prescribed in this article, may apply to the board of adjustment for a variance from such regulations. Such variances shall be allowed where. (1) It is duly found that a literal application or enforcement of the regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship and the relief granted would not be contrary to the public interest but will do substantial justice and be in accordance with the spirit of this article, (2) The applicant duly submitted an application to the FAA to determine the impact on airport utility, (3) The FAA determined that there was no substantial impact on airport utility, (4) The aeronautical study conducted by the FAA did not recommend an increase in minimums for instrument approaches or any additional impact to the airport’s utility, and (5) The board of adjustments determines that the structure or growth does not reduce the utility of the airport. (e) Hazard marking and lighting. Any permit or variance granted may, if such action is deemed advisable to effectuate the purpose of this article and be reasonable in the circumstances, be so conditioned as to require the owner of the structure or tree in question to permit the city at its own expense, to install, operate and maintain thereon such markers and lights as may be necessary to indicate to flyers the presence of an airport hazard.

Upon written request of either the City or the Company, the franchise may be reviewed after five (5) years from the effective date of this ordinance and either the City or the Company may propose amendments to any provision of this franchise by giving thirty days written notice to the other of the amendment(s) desired.

Change in the structure or operation of the natural gas industry which materially affects any rights or obligations of either the City or the Company, including but not limited to the scope of the grant to the Company or the compensation to be received by the City; or 3. Any other material and unintended change or shift in the economic benefit to the City or a change the Company did not anticipate upon accepting the grant of this Franchise. d. The compensation provision of this franchise shall be reopened and renegotiated if energy consumers within the City have access to alternative natural gas suppliers or other suppliers of energy through pipelines who use the Right-of-Way and/or easements granted on publicly owned property and do not pay a franchise fee or other payment substantially equivalent to this franchise, which results in a material and unfair disadvantage to the Company. The use of Right-of-Way provision of this franchise shall be reopened and renegotiated if energy consumers within the city have access to alternative natural gas suppliers or other suppliers of energy through pipelines who use the Right-of-Way and do not have requirements on the use of Right- of-Way substantially equivalent to the requirements of this franchise, which results in a material and unfair disadvantage to the Company. Upon any such event, the City shall have up to one hundred twenty (120) days after written request of the Company in which to restore competitive neutrality, provided that any adjustment in compensation resulting from renegotiations under this Subsection (d) shall be effective no later than 120 days after such notice. e. Failure of the City and Company to successfully renegotiate the materially affected provisions of the franchise under subsection (c) or (d) shall give rise to dispute resolution as follows: At the expiration of 180 days from the date of the written request (or sooner if requested by both the City and the Company) the City and the Company shall each select a representative who shall jointly select a third representative. The three representatives shall hear the positions of the City and Company and shall determine the matters in disagreement by majority vote. Such decision shall be presented to City and the Company as the renegotiated language under subsection (c) or (d). Rejection of the dispute resolution by either the City or the Company shall give rise to the remedies provided by Section 10, or at the option of the parties, the franchise shall remain in effect according to its then existing terms. f. Amendments under this section, if any, shall be made by ordinance as prescribed by statute. The franchise shall remain in effect according to its terms pending completion of any review or renegotiation pursuant to subsections (b), (c), (d), or (e). Section 4. Compensation to the City. a. In consideration of and as compensation for the franchise hereby granted to the Company by the City, the Company shall make an accounting to the City of all natural gas that has been Distributed on a monthly basis.

The sums in (i) and (ii) above shall be adjusted for uncollectible receivables and for uncollectible receivables which are later collected. b. Payment of the compensation above shall commence on the Effective Date identified in Section - 946- 18 as the first day of January, 2006.

In the event the accounting rendered to the City by the Company is found to be incorrect, then payment shall be made on the corrected amount, it being agreed that the City may accept any amount offered by the Company, but the acceptance thereof by the City shall not be deemed a settlement of such item if the amount is in dispute or later found to be incorrect. The Company agrees that all of its books, records, documents, contracts and agreements as may be reasonably necessary for an effective compliance review of this Ordinance shall upon reasonable notice and at all reasonable times be opened to the inspection and examination of the officers of the City and its duly authorized agents, auditor, and employees for the purpose of verifying said accounting.

The payments and compensation herein provided shall be in lieu of all other licenses, taxes, charges, and fees, except that the usual general property taxes and special ad valorem property assessments, sales and excise taxes, or charges made for privileges which are not connected with the natural gas business, will be imposed on the Company and are not covered by the payments herein. From and after the date hereof, however, the permit fees required of the Company by any ordinance presently in effect or hereafter adopted for a permit to excavate in or adjacent to any street, alley, or other public place shall be deemed a part of the compensation paid in Section 4 and shall not be separately assessed or collected by the City; in no event, however shall this provision be interpreted to waive the requirement of notice to the City and the procedural requirements of such ordinance.

If additional location, removal, relocation, or adjustment becomes necessary as a result of inaccurate or mistaken information provided by the Company or City, the party which provided such inaccurate or mistaken information shall be responsible for costs associated with such additional location, removal, relocation, or adjustment without expense to the other party. The City shall continue to use its best efforts to provide a location in the Right-of-Way for the Company’s existing facilities as part of a Public Project, provided that the Company has - 948- cooperated promptly and fully with the City in the design of its Facilities as part of the Public Project. f.

IdeaTek shall, after written notice from the City that any New Pole has been damaged or removed, cause the New Pole to be repaired or replaced within thirty (30) days after the City’s written notice. The cost to repair and/or replace any New Pole, including the replacement City streetlight, bulb and ancillary equipment shall be paid by IdeaTek; provided, however, that if the New Pole is damaged or destroyed by the City or a third party user that the City has given the right to use the New Pole, then the City and/or its third party user shall pay the cost to repair and/or replace the New Pole.

Gross receipts shall be reduced by bad debt expenses. Uncollectible and late charges shall not be included within gross receipts. If a telecommunications local exchange service provider offers additional services of a wholly local nature which if in existence on or before July 1, 2002, would have been included with the definition of gross receipts, such services shall be included from the date of the offering of such services in the City. “Local exchange service” means local switched telecommunications service within any local exchange service area approved by the state corporation commission, regardless of the medium by which the local telecommunications service is provided. The term local exchange service shall not include wireless communication services. “Public right-of-way” means only the area of real property in which the City has a dedicated or acquired right-of-way interest in the real property. It shall include the area on, below or above the present and future streets, alleys, avenues, roads, highways, parkways or boulevards dedicated or acquired as right-of-way. The term does not include the airwaves above a right- of-way with regard to wireless telecommunications or other nonwire telecommunications or broadcast service, easements obtained by utilities or private easements in platted subdivisions or tracts. “Telecommunications local exchange service provider” means a local exchange carrier as defined in subsection (h) of K.S.A. 66-1,187, and amendments thereto, and a telecommunications carrier as defined in subsection (m) of K.S.A. 66-1,187, and amendments thereto, which does, or in good faith intends to, provide local exchange service.

SECTION 3. Compensation. Compensation made pursuant to this contract franchise ordinance shall be paid on a quarterly basis without invoice or reminder from the City and paid within forty-five (45) days after the last day of the applicable quarter. For the first partial calendar year of this contract - 976- franchise ordinance, said compensation shall be a sum equal to five percent (5%) of gross receipts. Thereafter, compensation for each calendar year of the remaining term of the contract franchise ordinance shall continue to be based on a sum equal to five percent (5%) of gross receipts; unless the City notifies Grantee prior to ninety (90) days before the end of the calendar year that it intends to increase or decrease the percentage of gross receipts for the following calendar year or that it intends to switch to an access line fee for the following calendar year. In the event the City elects compensation based on an access line fee, nothing herein precludes the City from switching back to a gross receipts fee provided the City notifies Grantee prior to ninety (90) days before the end of the calendar year that it intends to elect a gross receipts fee for the following calendar year. Any increased access line fee or gross receipt fee shall be in compliance with the public notification procedures set forth in subsections (l) and (m) K.S.A. 12-2001. SECTION 4.

Such appurtenances and facilities shall be so constructed and maintained as not to obstruct or hinder the usual travel or public safety on such public ways or obstruct the legal use by other utilities. All installations of Grantee’s facilities under hard surfaces shall be installed via the boring method, unless otherwise agreed by the City upon Grantee’s showing of undue hardship. For purposes of this Section 6, the term “hard surfaces” shall mean concrete, asphalt, or any other hard surface with similar structural characteristics. B. The authority of Grantee to use and occupy the public right-of-way shall always be subject and subordinate to the reasonable public health, safety, and welfare requirements and regulations of the City. The City may exercise its home rule powers in its administration and regulation related to the management of the public right-of-way, provided that any such exercise must be competitively neutral and may not be unreasonable or discriminatory. Grantee shall be subject to all applicable laws and statutes, and all rules, regulations, policies, resolutions and ordinances now or hereafter adopted by the City, including but not limited to the City’s comprehensive right-of-way management ordinance, which, in addition to the terms of this contract franchise - 977- ordinance, shall control Grantee’s rights, powers, and liabilities with respect to operations and activities in the public right-of-way. C. Nothing in this contract franchise ordinance shall be interpreted as granting Grantee the authority to construct, maintain or operate any facility or related appurtenance on property owned by the City outside of the public right-of-way. D. This contract franchise ordinance does not provide Grantee the right, privilege, or franchise to act as a “competitive infrastructure provider” pursuant to K.S.A. 17-1902, as amended, for purposes of locating facilities in the right-of-way and leasing, selling, or otherwise conveying such facilities, or the capacity or bandwidth of such facilities, to third-party carriers to provide telecommunications services, internet services, or other intrastate or interstate traffic. If, during the term of this franchise, Grantee desires to act as a competitive infrastructure provider, Grantee shall promptly notify the City of its desire to do so and renegotiate this contract franchise ordinance in accordance with applicable law prior to providing such service. E. Grantee shall participate in the Kansas One Call utility location program with respect to all of its facilities in the public right-of-way. SECTION 7. Limitation on Use of Portion of Right-of-Way. The City shall have the authority to prohibit the use or occupation of a specific portion of public right-of-way by Grantee due to a reasonable public interest necessitated by public health, safety and welfare so long as the authority is exercised in a competitively neutral manner and is not unreasonable or discriminatory. A reasonable public interest shall include the following: A. The prohibition is based upon a recommendation of the city engineer, is related to public health, safety and welfare, and is nondiscriminatory among providers, including incumbent providers; B. Grantee has rejected a reasonable, competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory justification offered by the City for requiring an alternate method or alternate route that will result in neither unreasonable additional installation expense nor a diminution of service quality; C. The City reasonably determines, after affording Grantee reasonable notice and an opportunity to be heard, that a denial is necessary to protect the public health and safety and is imposed on a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory basis; or D. The specific portion of the public right-of-way for which Grantee seeks use and occupancy is environmentally sensitive as defined by state or federal law or lies within a previously designated historic district as defined by local, state or federal law. SECTION 8. Repair of Damage to Right-of-Way. Grantee shall repair all damage to the public right-of-way caused by the activities of Grantee, or of any agent, affiliate, employee, or subcontractor of Grantee, while occupying, installing, repairing or maintaining facilities in a public right-of-way and return the right-of-way to its functional equivalence before the damage pursuant to the reasonable requirements and specifications of the City. If Grantee fails to make the repairs required by the City, the - 978- City may effect those repairs and charge Grantee the costs of those repairs. If the City incurs damages as a result of a violation of this subsection, then the City shall have a cause of action against Grantee for violation of this subsection, and may recover its damages, including reasonable attorney fees, if Grantee is found liable by a court of competent jurisdiction. SECTION 9. Fees. Pursuant to K.S.A. 17-1902(n), and amendments thereto, the City may assess any of the following fees against Grantee for use and occupancy of the public right-of-way, provided that such fees reimburse the City for its reasonable, actual and verifiable costs of managing the public right-of-way, and are imposed on all such providers in a nondiscriminatory and competitively neutral manner: A. A permit fee in connection with issuing each construction permit to set fixtures in the public right-of- way within the City, to compensate the City for issuing, processing and verifying the permit application. B. An excavation fee for each street or pavement cut to recover the costs associated with construction and repair activity of Grantee, its assigns, contractors and subcontractors with the exception of construction and repair activity required pursuant to subsection (l) of K.S.A. 17-1902 related to construction and maintenance activities directly related to improvements for the health, safety and welfare of the public; provided, however, imposition of such excavation fee must be based upon a regional specific or other appropriate study establishing the basis for such costs which takes into account the life of the city street prior to the construction or repair activity and the remaining life of the city street. Such excavation fee is expressly limited to activity that results in an actual street or pavement cut. C. Inspection fees to recover all reasonable costs associated with the City’s inspection of the work of Grantee in the right-of-way. D. Repair and restoration costs associated with repairing and restoring the public right-of- way because of damage caused by Grantee, its assigns, contractors, and/or subcontractors in the right-of-way.

SECTION 10. Indemnification and Hold Harmless. A. It shall be the responsibility of Grantee to take adequate measures to protect and defend its facilities in the public right-of-way from harm or damage. If Grantee fails to accurately or timely locate facilities when requested, in accordance with the Kansas Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act, K.S.A. 66-1801 et seq., it shall have no claim for costs or damages against the City and its authorized contractors unless such parties are responsible for the harm or damage caused by their gross negligence or intentional conduct. The City and its authorized contractors shall be responsible to take reasonable precautionary measures including calling for utility locations and observing - 979- marker posts when working near Grantee’s facilities. B. Grantee shall indemnify and hold the City and its officers and employees harmless against any and all claims, lawsuits, judgments, costs, liens, losses, expenses, fees (including reasonable attorney fees and costs of defense), proceedings, actions, demands, causes of action, liability and suits of any kind and nature, including personal or bodily injury (including death), property damage or other harm for which recovery of damages is sought, to the extent that it is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be caused by the negligence of Grantee, any agent, officer, director, representative, employee, affiliate or subcontractor of Grantee, or its respective officers, agents, employees, directors or representatives, while installing, repairing or maintaining facilities in the public right-of-way. C. The indemnity provided by this subsection does not apply to any liability resulting from the negligence of the City, its officers, employees, contractors or subcontractors. If Grantee and the City are found jointly liable by a court of competent jurisdiction, liability shall be apportioned comparatively in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas without, however, waiving any governmental immunity available to the City under state law and without waiving any defenses of the parties under state or federal law. This section is solely for the benefit of the City and Grantee and does not create or grant any rights, contractual or otherwise, to any other person or entity. SECTION 11. Insurance and Performance Bond. A. Grantee agrees to procure and maintain, during the term of this contract franchise ordinance and any extension thereof for their use and operations in the public right-of- way; (a) commercial general liability insurance with limits not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence of bodily injury and/or property damage, including the risk of explosion, collapse & underground; (b) $500,000 personal and/or advertising injury limit, $1,000,000 products and completed operations and $2,000,000 general aggregate; (c) $500,000 auto liability for all owned, hired and non-owned autos; and (d) statutory worker’s compensation insurance; Grantee is responsible to ensure their independent contractors carry coverage equal or greater than that required of the Grantee.

Grantee or its insurance representative shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation or any changes of insurers to City. Grantee shall make available to the City on request the policy declarations page and a certified copy of the policy in effect, so that limitations and exclusions can be evaluated for appropriateness of overall coverage. C. The insurance limits outlined above represent the minimum coverage limit and do not infer or place a limit of liability of the Grantee nor has the City assessed the risk that may be applicable to the Grantee. The Grantee’s liability program will be primary and any insurance maintained by the City (including self-insurance) will not contribute with the coverage maintained by the Grantee. Coverage limits outlined above may be met by a combination of primary and excess liability insurance programs. The City will only accept coverage from an insurance carrier who offer proof that it is admitted to do - 980- business in the State of Kansas, and carries a Best’s rating of “A:X” or better; or is a company mutually agreed upon by the City and the Grantee.

Such relocation or adjustment shall be completed as soon as reasonably possible within the time set forth in any request by the City for such relocation or adjustment. Any damages suffered by the City or its contractors as a result of Grantee’s failure to timely relocate or adjust its facilities shall be borne by Grantee. SECTION 14. Tree Trimming. Permission is hereby granted to Grantee to trim trees upon and overhanging the public right-of-way so as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming in contact with Grantee’s facilities. Grantee agrees that all such tree trimming shall be conducted in accordance with the American National Standard for Tree Care Operations (ANSI Standard Z133.1), and that said trimming shall also comply with all applicable laws, statutes and city regulations.
