Dear Commissioners:
As a home owner in the southeast corner of the West of K10 Draft Plan, I have been actively involved in response to the Plan including attendance at public meetings, letters to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, the City Commission and the Board of County Commissioners, and public comment before both the County Planning Commission and the City Commission. I am appreciative of the work all three commissions and Mr. Dan Warner have devoted to the process of negotiating different views between two neighborhood groups as well as determining the best plan for county, city and neighborhood interests.
As you are now aware, at its March 25th,2009 meeting, the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission unanimously approved the 5th Draft of the West of K10 Plan. It is my understanding that support was voiced from both neighborhood groups for the 5th Draft of the Plan at the May 6th, 2009 meeting of the Douglas County Commission. I am in support of the 5th Draft of the Plan because I believe it is the best possible negotiation given the various interests of all the parties. I will rest satisfied if the 5th Draft is approved.
Sincerely,
Lee L. Rader
