The Manhattan City Commission on Tuesday approved reconfiguring three lots for an addition to the Acacia fraternity at 2005 Hunting Ave.

Commissioners voted 3-0-1 to advance a replat, which approved easements and rights-of-way for the residential lots north of Lee Elementary. Commissioner Susan Adamchak recused herself from the vote since her family has previously owned property in the neighborhood. Commissioner John Matta was absent from Tuesday’s meeting.

Neighbors urged commissioners to reject the plat. They said they fear the move will pave the way for demolition of two homes in favor of new parking lots for the Acacia facility.

The Manhattan Urban Area Planning Board on Monday unanimously approved a final plat for the Acacia fraternity complex at 2005 Hunting Ave.

The board voted 6-0 to advance the issue to the Manhattan City Commission, which will vote on the matter as part of the consent agenda at Tuesday’s meeting.

The final plat would consolidate portions of that property with two lots to the west, to accommodate a future addition to the fraternity. The back portions of 2015 and 2023 Hunting Ave. will be split off and combined with the fraternity lot. The properties are located north of Lee Elementary School, within the Lee Elementary Historic District.

An expansion project for the Islamic Center of Manhattan is one step closer to being put into place.

The Manhattan Urban Area Planning Board approved a request Monday to replat two lots as a one-lot subdivision. The Islamic Center plans to construct a new community center on the property.

According to the proposal, the plat will limit access to two existing driveways on Hylton Heights Road and eliminate the existing driveway on Claflin Road. The plat will dedicate “no access” across the site’s frontage on Claflin Road and add an additional 10 feet of right-of-way along Claflin.
