SIDEWALKS

The City of Leawood has an ordinance (13-1A13) that requires the owner/occupant of any property abutting any sidewalks to remove any snow or ice within forty-eight (48) hours after the end of a snow or ice event.  If ice cannot be removed, the sprinkling or placement of sand, ash, or other noncorrosive material shall be placed, within the time specified, upon the sidewalks to make travel safe for pedestrians.

TREE TRIMMING 

The guidelines call for any tree that hangs over the sidewalks is to be trimmed to a height of 10’ above the sidewalk.  Any tree that hangs over the street is to be trimmed to a height of 14’ above the street.  If any resident has a personal tree in their yard, it should be trimmed according to the City guidelines.

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION

Approval is not needed from the Verona Gardens HOA.  The basic information provided here is included for your convenience.  Please direct any further inquiries to one of the contacts referenced below.

A permit is required for solar installations in the City of Leawood. While there is a list of approved solar panels in the City of Leawood, homeowners are allowed to propose a solar panel that is not on the list; however it will require approval from Planning.  Planning will need a list of installations in the metro area where those panels have been installed to perform a site visit and grant approval.  Jomy Puthumana, M.C.P. is the Leawood Solar Plans Examiner.

Planning can provide a sample of required drawings for a typical solar permit application if needed.  Please send the full set of plans along with the application to [email protected] for review. An engineer’s report of adequacy of the roof structure to support solar panels is also required. Upon review and approval, a permit will be issued to commence installation of the solar system.
