Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by At issue here is the right of the city of Great Bend to
construct a vehicular parking lot in an area in that city
described as Lafayette Park. The park consists of a two block
tract in the downtown business district of Great Bend upon which
the Barton county courthouse is located. The plaintiff-appellee, a resident of Great Bend, commenced the
action, naming as defendants the city of Great Bend and the
county commissioners of Barton county. Highly summarized, his
petition alleged the defendants had entered into a contract
whereby the city undertook to construct and maintain for general
public use a parking lot in Lafayette Park; that such park had
been dedicated for use as a public park and the proposed parking
lot was inconsistent with such purpose; he asked for a
declaratory judgment defining the status of the park and the
legality of the proposed construction. The defendants answered,
in substance denying the tract had been dedicated as a park, and
alleging that, if such dedication had occurred, the proposed use
was not inconsistent therewith.
