Formation of the Stanley-Morse Study Area Task Force

May 20, 1986

This next passage is taken directly from the document

which shows how the 1985 annextion Task Force was formed.

"The purpose of forming the Stanley-M<orse Study Area Task Force

was to develop a Future Land Use Plan for the recently annexed

Stanley and Morse neighborhoods of southern Overland Park. The

17-member Task Froce drew its membership from the development

community, homeowners, major landowners, and others interested

in the community which included both the Oxford Township Zoning

Board and the Blue Valley School District (see listing of members in

Appendix 1)."

"A portion of the Task Force membership was selected by the city

while the remaining members were chosen by those attending a

community meeting held on January 30, 1986. The community

meeting was intended as an information sesson, both to inform

residents and landowners of what the city was seeking to do

through the development of a Future Land Use Plan, and to hear

what their concerns and hopes were for the neighborhoods.

A second community meeting was held May 1, 1986, to inform

residents and landowners of the Task Force recommendations for a

Future Land Use Plan, and to provide them a chance to respond to

those recommendations."
