Mission Woods holds off on using eminent domain to acquire Shawnee Mission Parkway building
“Mission Woods is at least temporarily holding off on a condemnation proceeding it had set in motion against a building on Shawnee Mission Parkway, one of the few commercial buildings in the small city. The city earlier entered into an agreement with an adjacent property owner, Karbank Real Estate, to help fund the condemnation of the neighbor’s building.
However, the owners of the targeted building at 1968 Shawnee Mission Parkway are protesting the city’s action and have plans of their own to renovate the building. The council Tuesday gave the owners 30 days to submit more information about their renovation plans, though the owner offered to apply for a building permit right away and go through the permitting process.”
