I make a motion to do just that, to remove the addresses on Case 26-100-13, Correctory Zoning. 10,001, 10,007, and 10,019. All the rest shall stay as they are. Second.
Just really quickly, because I haven't had time to actually look this up. This is another Google map thing. So are these addresses correct as far as the Jackson County?
Well, the gentleman on, I'm guessing it's 1001, on the far northwest, I would believe, if maps, far northwest corner, do you know what type of land, what's he doing with the land? Is it just vacant?
Can we postpone this vote until we have the presentation? Would that be unreasonable?
If I withdraw the motion. Are we going to be able to proceed with the report?
Is everybody upset about that? Or do you want to go ahead and vote on it? Yeah, he made the motion.
I would like to withdraw my previous motion. Thank you very much.
That's what I was kind of wondering. Would you be able to put the map that you had showing those three properties that you wanted to exclude again?
Maybe I'm wrong. It's happened before. But 98 on Jackson County, it looks like the very top one that I was asking about, that's like the northwest corner, like the corner of Overton Avenue and Wilson. Right. The county is saying that's 9803.
Which ones are you wanting to exclude? Because I think that's where we got tripped up here. You were showing a map with two of them and you wanted to exclude certain ones.
When you said three, that's what I was looking at, so I stand corrected. Those are separate lots. I stand corrected. Thank you.
Well, Madam Chair, I'd like to renew my original motion. Okay.
Property owners not here and the one thing it seems to me that's been one consistent in this is the property owners seem to have a lot of rights and if he doesn't want to do it he doesn't have to do it but that doesn't mean that he gets the right to do whatever he wants later on so
We had to make a motion because we had to cross some of them out.
I want to ask it now, but I would like to ask it right after we're done.
My question is for staff. So they have to reapply every year, correct?
Well, my observation is then... Or my I guess maybe you could call the please answer my question When we talk here and we approve these we ask certain questions and some of that approval kind of relies on if they have folks Just in case something happens that they can rely on to come and you know be there when they're unable to so And I'm responding to this because, you know, you may be relying on somebody who is your parent, and if they pass or if that family passes, you don't – we ask if they have somebody, but if that somebody passes, then how do we – what do we do? We just wait until…
Okay. So it's just a punitive thing. And then once that all happens, if it happens enough, then it's revoked. So if they apply again and they say, we fixed this, then we have to say, okay, you fixed it and give them a – I just don't – maybe it's just because we don't want more paperwork or whatever it is. So I don't understand why they don't have to –
So there's this periodic. Yep. thing that we do. That's awesome. Glad to hear it. Chair. All right. Chair, may I ask staff a question?
Good evening, everyone. On behalf of the city of Independence, I welcome you to the Planning Commission meeting for October 13, 2026. Before we begin, let's stand and say Pledge of Allegiance.

Address me, the chair, when you have questions. And to expedite tonight's meeting, I would ask all those who are going to speak or testify, who thinks they might speak or testify, go ahead and stand so that you can be sworn in. Raise your right hand Do you solemnly swear to tell the whole truth before this commission? If so, please answer I do Thank you very much.
