Who owns developable land in area around proposed Chapel Ridge?

Many people have asked:  Who owns other tracts of land in this area that could potentially be developed?  Below is a brief survey.  What's interesting is that much of this land more recently is in the form of LLCs and LPs, where previously it was owned by private owners.

The land (parcel 20-5.0-16-300-001-031-000) across from the proposed Chapel Ridge (across from the Baptist church) was sold on June 10 to Westwood Partners, LLC, which is addressed to Adam Tholen, who lives down 45 Hwy.)

The land off K (parcel 20-4.0-20-100-000-003-000), just south of Union Chapel elementary school (what people have called "the man cave"), is owned by RD Owens Investment LLC, since 2011.  RD Owens Investment LLC, is addressed to Douglas Owens, who lives at the Nationals.  Prior to 2011, this tract of land was owned by Platte Clay LLC, addressed to Michael Gunn, who is an attorney, was previously arrested and allegedly maced, and used to represent Platte County Planning and Zoning.

The house at the corner of 45 & K (parcel 20-4.0-20-100-000-005-000) was purchased by Darrel's Haven LLC in 2011.  The registrant of this LLC is Robert K Kirkland of Liberty, Missouri.  Kirkland is an attorney.

Another potential big player in this area is Harmony IV LP, which owns parcels of land all up and down 45 Hwy and Brinkmeyer (parcels 20-4.0-20-100-000-011-000, 20-4.0-20-100-000-014-000, 20-4.0-20-100-000-013-000, 20-5.0-21-300-003-010-000).  Harmony IV LP is registered to a Roger L. Wagy of Lees Summit.

The land off Brinkmeyer (parcel 20-4.0-19-000-000-008-001), behind the gas station at 45 and 435, is owned by Brinkmeyer Investors LLC,  registered to Scott Sperry and Jim Nichols of Lees Summit.  The land adjacent to this (parcel 20-4.0-19-000-000-029-000) is registered to 45 Park Place, L.L.C., which in turn is represented by an agency out of Jefferson City.

As many already know, the land on the SE corner of the K / 45 intersection (parcel 20-5.0-21-200-002-001-000) is registered to John and David Barth.

The land on the NE corner of the K / 45 intersection (parcel 20-5.0-21-200-001-004-000) is owned by NBH LLC, registered to Keith Hicklin and Jennifer Snider of Platte City.

There is nothing wrong with owning land.  In fact, it's a good thing.  Many people, however, do not want reckless, irresponsible development in this area.  People do not want south Platte County to become a clone of Johnson County, KS - high-density subdivisions, apartment complexes, chain and fast-food restaurants, etc.  We like our big lots and big, open green spaces.

If you know of any other interesting potentially developable tracts of land in the area and their ownership, please post in the comments below.

  1. Thanks for doing this research guys and gals! It's good to keep an eye on future development. People should email Dan Erickson and ask to be put on alert for any plans relating to the parcels above.
