Discussion Summary

1.	The Advance Plans Committee approved the minutes of the December 11, 2007 
Committee meeting.

2.	Christy Rodriguez led the Committee members through an overview of work completed 
to date on the draft 47th to 55th Street South Joint Area Plan.   Specific elements reviewed 
included plan purpose, existing conditions, future growth assumptions, future municipal / 
community servicing concept, and future land use concept.  The following is a summary 
of highlights from the Committee discussion:

?	The plan has agreement regarding future land uses, but several long-term 
municipal servicing and urban growth issues remain unresolved by this plan.  The 
plan recognizes the need for inter-jurisdictional flexibility when accommodating 
future demand for water and sewer services in this area.
?	The question was raised as to whether the plan area located east of 127th Street 
could be serviced by the Four Mile Creek sewer plant.  This area falls outside the 
Four Mile Creek drainage basin, and outside the Wichita and Derby 2030 urban 
service areas. The City of Derby representative thought that Derby might be able 
to extend services into this particular area at some point beyond the year 2030.
?	The question arose as to what mechanism is in place to resolve outstanding issues 
that may arise between the three municipal jurisdictions in the plan area.  It was 
suggested that the Plan include the recommendation of creating a tri-jurisdictional 
coordination committee that would meet on an infrequent basis (e.g. minimum 
semi-annual and also ‘as-needed’) to maintain communications, provide updates 
on issues of mutual concern, and resolve issues as they may arise. 
?	The comment was made that the PROS planning initiative currently underway by 
the City of Wichita may provide further direction regarding the need for future 
park and open space resources in this joint plan area. 

3.	Committee members also voiced concerns regarding the land use and transportation 
impacts that the Sumner County Casino development will have on areas in southern 
Sedgwick County, and the lack of advance planning to accommodate these impacts.

4.	The next meeting of the Advanced Plans Committee was not scheduled at this time.

Meeting adjourned at 8:40 a.m.
