WICHITA-SEDGWICK COUNTY

METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING COMMISSION

INSTRUCTIONS FOR VACATION REQUEST

1. Prior to submitting an application for a Vacation, a pre-application meeting with the

Metropolitan Area Planning Department (MAPD) is advised to determine the public and private

entities that have an interest in the proposed Vacation. MAPD staff typically does not

recommend approval of a Vacation request if any of the entities with an interest oppose the

Vacation.

2. The attached form must be completed before it can be presented to the Metropolitan Area

Planning Commission. All spaces should be filled in or marked as "not applicable", i.e. (N.A.).

3. The completed form should be submitted to the Metropolitan Area Planning Department,

2nd Floor, The Ronald Reagan Building, 271 W. 3rd Street, Wichita, KS 67202.

4. A Vacation application shall be accompanied by a current ownership list certified by a title

company containing a legal description of the area in the application as well as the name of the

owner, shall include the names and mailing address (with zip codes) of all property owners within

the area defined as the ‘Type of Vacation’ (see below for additional detail).

Type of Vacation

a. Street or Alley Right-of-Way. All owners of property adjacent to a street or alley petitioned

to be vacated. In the event a vacation would leave a dead end street or alley, all of the

owners of property adjacent to the remaining segment of street or alley shall also receive

written notice. If the Planning Director determines the vacation of the street or alley could

have an effect upon traffic circulation in the vicinity, the Director may require that the

owners of property within a radius of up to 2 blocks shall also be entitled to notice and,

within the City of Wichita, set a hearing before the appropriate District Advisory Board

through the same written notice.

b. Access Controls. All lots or tracts involved, plus all lots and tracts on the same side of the

street within the same block, plus all lots and tracts on the opposite side of the street from the

property involved, and if involving areas greater than one block in length, then the owners of

all lots and tracts in the next block. In the event of a partial block, the balance of the block

shall be included for notification purposes.

c. Building Setbacks. For a building setback along the front of a lot, the same procedure as for

access controls. For a building setback along a side or rear lot line, the owners of property

abutting thereupon.

d. Drainage and/or Utility Easements. Owners of all lots or tracts on which the easement is

located and owners of all lots or tracts which abut the easement to be vacated.

e. Reserves. If the vacation is to permit the construction of building or structure on a reserve

dedicated to open space, the same policy as for building setbacks. If for a vacation of an

entire reserve, then all owners of property within the subdivision from which the reserve was

first dedicated.

05/2018

f. Plat. Owners of all lots or parcels within the plat or tracts of land included within the

area proposed to be vacated. Also, all owners of land abutting the plat to be vacated.

g. Exclusion of Land from City. Owners of all lots or parcels within the area proposed to be

excluded from the city, as well as owners of all lots or parcels abutting said area.

h. Special Cases. In the event a petition for vacation involves some special dedication, such as

pedestrian access or avigation rights, or any other dedication not specifically identified

above, the notification area shall be determined by the Planning Director. 5. Applications for vacation must be accompanied by a filing fee in the amount of $525.00 or

(make check payable to "City of Wichita"). Reprocessing of a vacation case must be accompanied

by a filing fee in the amount of $275.00. 6. The applicant shall submit an accurate site plan. The site plan shall be drawn to scale and show the

location of property lines and buildings, parking areas, driveways and other improvements or

facilities which necessitate the Variance. One (1) 8.5” x 11” or 11” x 17” copy of the site plan shall

be submitted. Other plans, drawings or information which the MAPD deems necessary to enable

proper consideration of the request may be required.

7. Applications for Vacation must be accompanied by a Vacation petition with the original

signatures of the property owners.

8. The Vacation request will be scheduled for public hearing by the Metropolitan Area Planning

Commission (MAPC). It will be scheduled for review and recommendation by the Subdivision

Committee, usually one week prior to the MAPC hearing. A MAPC recommendation for approval

will not be placed on the agenda for consideration by the appropriate governing body until such time

as all requirements made by the MAPC have been met by the applicant. In the event the applicant

disagrees with the recommendation or a condition made by the MAPC, the Vacation request may be

appealed to the appropriate governing body. No Vacation request is final until acted upon by the

appropriate governing body.

9. In accordance with local policy, the applicant shall post one or more Vacation application signs on

the application site for at least 13 days immediately prior to the scheduled public hearing of the

application request. Signs shall be purchased from the MAPD when the application is filed. The

fee for each sign is $5, and one sign is required for each street frontage.

10. Any dedications, covenants or special documents involved in a Vacation request will be provided to

MAPD staff (in the original form with the owner’s original signature) prior to the Vacation request

being forwarded to the governing body for final action.

11. After approval of the Vacation request by the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission, the original

documents (dedications, covenants, etc.) associated with the Vacation request shall be submitted to

MAPD staff for recording with the Vacation Order by the Sedgwick County Register of Deeds. The

applicant shall not directly submit the required documents to the Register of Deeds. The applicant

shall provide a check to MAPD staff payable to “Register of Deeds” for each document that is

required with the Vacation Order. The current fee structure for the Register of Deeds is $21.00 for

the first page (with a 1.5-inch margin at the top of the page) and $17.00 for each subsequent

page. Documents to be recorded cannot be larger than legal size (8 ½” x 14”).
