During the City Manager's Report, Mike Wildgen said there was an
announcement that the governor would be making budget cuts in order to meet
the FY 2003 budget deficit. The City of Lawrence has approximately $1.3
million in demand transfers. He said staff would report back to the City
Commission on how it would affect Lawrence locally, once they had time to
digest these results.

Commissioner Dunfield presented a report concerning possible interim use of
Carnegie Library building located at 9th Street and Vermont Street. In
terms of the occupancy of the building itself prior to the renovation
project, there are three areas of consideration.
One consideration is there is an on-going use of the building for day type
events. He said it was important when the City allows that use, that they
make sure it is understood that people are using the building in the
condition that they find it because the systems in the building are fragile.
In terms of a change of use in the buildings to a residential type use,
which is what the Homeless Shelter is proposing, that change of use brings
into play building code issues that are not a part of the on-going use of
the building for individual events. The life and safety aspects of the
residential code are significantly different which ranges from plumbing
facility issues to lack of smoke detectors and fire sprinklers. He said it
should be pointed out that the particular type of construction of this
building does contain a lot of combustible materials and there were no fire
sprinklers in this building at this time.
The final issue is the occupancy of the building during renovation projects.
He said given the size of the building and the nature of the renovations
that are being proposed, he thought it was safe to say, to occupy that
building during renovations whether for day events or an on-going use is not
going to be possible. Once those renovation projects are underway, the
building would be unoccupied and unavailable for those special events.
David Corliss, Assistant City Manager/Legal Services Director, said he was
asked to provide information concerning liability concerns in the use of the
Carnegie facility. He said in looking at liability concerns, there is
typically a three to four part analysis in regards to risk.
The first question with any type of risk for liability is, "Is there a good
way to reduce the risk?" He said the City is not familiar with how to
manage this type of facility if it was used for an evening shelter and
"management " was one of the ways to reduce a liability concern.
Another way to attack a potential liability concern is to transfer the risk.
In other words, have another party assume the risk in place of the City. He
said this would be difficult in regards to the Homeless Shelter's proposal
because they perhaps did not have the financial ability to assume the risk
Purchasing insurance is another way to transfer risk. The City currently
self-insures for general liability purposes. Staff could seek insurance for
liability purposes for something like this, but they had not investigated
that cost.
Corliss said because of the condition of the facility, and the fact that the
City is on notice that the building is not up to Code for uniform housing
type purposes, as far as the access issues that are related to by Building
and Fire Inspection staff, if there would be an accident and that accident
was related to that Code deficiency, the City would probably have a
liability claim.
He said there are a number of ways to respond to these issues which were
management, ensure that things don't happen, or transfer the risk. This was
the type of analysis staff uses for any City facility. This facility was
unique because the City did not have any track record for operating this
facility. Corliss said this building was insured at this time as a general
casualty listing of insurance, but that was for the building itself, not for
any accident that might happen within. He said the building is not insured
for shelter purposes, so the City might have an initial concern with their
insurance company if they were to change its use. He said what makes this
issue unique is operating a shelter for people to sleep, and that is
something the City did not have a lot of experience in. He counseled the
City Commission if they decided to proceed with this issue there should be a
written agreement with whoever has the facility to "insure" and "ensure" the
liability concerns could be addressed. Corliss said "The Shelter Inc." was
a good example where they occupy a City building for a number of years and
it is used as an overnight shelter, but they have a good tack record, good
experience, and have the ability to respond to those types of concerns.
Commissioner Kennedy said building projects are required to meet certain
codes and guidelines before occupancy can ever occur at a building for an
overnight stay. He said there is no way that during construction of a
project when there is no electricity, plumbing, water, and heating that this
building can be occupied safely by anyone.
He said according to our fire safety code, the Fire Marshall has said that
this building should not be used for an overnight shelter because it is not
habitable for that type of use in the state that the building is in right
now.
Commissioner Kennedy thanked staff for the information they provided
concerning this issue so the community could better understand what the City
would be facing in regards to this occupancy of this building.
During public comment Vice Mayor Dunfield read a letter from Richard Forney,
Administrator, The Salvation Army.
"The Salvation Army and The Lawrence Open Shelter are working on a
cooperative effort to house the homeless during the winter months. An
announcement should be made within the next two weeks about our agreement.
We are concerned about the homeless situation and are working to establish a
program in an adequate, permanent facility that will not just "enable"
people to live on the streets but will provide training and resources to
help them to become productive members of the City of Lawrence. A
long-range cooperative effort is under discussion between the two agencies
and an announcement about that should be ready in about two months.
To help the homeless during the cold days, The Salvation Army will open a
warming center on Monday, December 2, at the Crops Community Center 946 New
Hampshire."
Vice Mayor Dunfield called for additional public comment.
Hilda Enoch, Chair, Coalition of Homeless Concerns, said she was interested
in Forney's comments in his letter because he had originally said he would
not deal with this particular group of people. She said they have been
working closely with the Lawrence Open Shelter and up to today, they were
unable to reach an agreement with The Salvation Army. She was not clear
whether The Salvation Army was prepared to open up an overnight shelter. If
The Salvation Army and Homeless Shelter were to open this type of shelter,
the coalition was willing to withdraw their request.
She said their program is hand to mouth and what do they do with people
tonight and tomorrow night. She said they are not interested in lavish
arrangements, but housing people without a place to be. If The Salvation
Army is willing to do that, then they need to get in touch with the
coalition so they are not working at cross purposes. She said the coalition
did not think it was their responsibility to house the homeless, but a
community responsibility.
Enoch said she appreciated Vice Mayor Dunfield and City staff's comments and
understood that this was not a building that was ready to be turned over to
the community, but she pleaded with the City, if that is all they had, it
was a better than the street.
Enoch said they were interested in the ground level floor where there were
bathroom sinks and toilets, and two exits that were available. She said she
viewed the ground level floor and it was ready to be occupied. As far as
the sprinkler system, if they had someone that was up all night and this was
a part of their program, at least people would be awakened and helped out.
She said it was true that the building has never met ADA standards, but this
building has been occupied for many years. She said if one person with a
disability that can't walk through the door or needs a wheel chair, they
would work with that one person to find an alternative space. She did not
think the City should say since there is an ADA standard that is not being
met and has never been met, that the City is going to deny people badly in
need of shelter. She reiterated that it was a community responsibility.
She said the coalition wanted to work with the City until The Salvation Army
is up and running and doing what is needed in this community.
Commissioner Kennedy asked Enoch if she felt any responsibility to her staff
for safety in an area where it is not acceptable for them to be working,
much less staying the night.
Enoch said she thought people that were previously in this building have
operated very well such as children and art programs. She said the people
who would come to help the coalition would understand that there is
responsibility required in that building. She said they were not doing this
because they were irresponsible people, but because they are assuming more
responsibility.
Commissioner Kennedy said the reports from Fire and Building Inspection
staff indicated that the building was not safe. There is no way any City
Commission should allow people to stay in a City building that is not safe.
Enoch said the reason why the building is not safe is because there is no
fire alarm system and it did not meet ADA requirements, along with fire code
requirements.
Commissioner Kennedy said the City needed to meet all of these requirements
in order to let this happen.
Enoch said there were enough exits at that location if you didn't need a
wheel chair.
Craig Sweets, Coalition for Homeless Concerns, said for approximately seven
years, the coalition has tried to find a permanent year round shelter for
Lawrence's homeless citizens. He said they have watched as their brothers
have died on the streets. Tragically, it could have been avoided, if only a
shelter could have welcomed them with open arms and not judged them by their
problems with alcohol or drug abuse. As a matter of fact, not all of those
who died were alcoholics or drug abusers, for example, approximately five or
six years ago a homeless person died from an abscessed tooth. In our
society it is an outrage that anyone should have to face such an ordeal. He
said the City holds the scepter of influence and as winter nears, the City
could bring much needed warmth to Lawrence's homeless citizens by
designating the Carnegie Library Building as a temporary winter shelter.
Not only does this building have a spacious interior but it is also an ideal
downtown location. Further, this homeless shelter would not need any
additional parking space, as the building would require for most any other
use.
Maggie Beedles, Co-Director, University of Kansas Center for Community
Outreach, said she wanted to step up as a former volunteer at three
different homeless shelters across the country as well as the Lawrence Open
Shelter. She wanted the City Commission to be aware of the K.U. student
body perspective from student senators and their discussion about the
concerns of K.U. students in relation to the situation with the homeless.
Beedles said she was also a seven-year employee of the Lawrence Arts Center,
working in the former Carnegie Library for six of those seven years and thus
felt from her work experience, she was familiar with the building and how it
could be utilized.
She said Commissioner Kennedy had mentioned that it was dangerous to have
people living in the Carnegie Building, but she said it was more dangerous
to have people living on the streets throughout the winter. She said with
her ability to coordinate volunteers from the University, as well as her
experience with the building in conjunction with working with her
experience, she was confident that this homeless shelter could be
accomplished if they were given the ability.
As far as liability concerns that needed to be addressed, she would be
interested in pulling any resources that she could come up with to help
address those liability concerns which included fund raising efforts on
behalf of K.U. students.
She understood the safety concerns. Since renovation has not begun on the
Carnegie Library, she was in support of using the building as a temporary
solution for as many days as they could. Each night a person has a place to
stay, makes a difference in the safety of the Lawrence community.
She asked to be contacted from the members of the City Commission to present
them with information on what K.U. could provide for the community. She was
interested in mobilizing the community to come up with a definite solution
to this problem.
Edith Williams, Lawrence, said she was concerned about the homeless
situation as we go into this holiday season. She said the City needed to
address this situation on a community wide scale. She was pleased to see
this issue as a topic of discussion because it was important.
Ben Burton, Lawrence, said he was one of the full-time night monitors for
the Lawrence Homeless Shelter located at St. John's. The people who created
the most problems were not the people who needed a place to stay, but with
the community because they did not care. He said this is a problem and
these people are worth fighting for and were human beings. He said it
disgusted him that the City could not take the first step to provide a
location. If The Salvation Army has been around since 1886, and they care
about the homeless, why do they always work against Lawrence Open Shelter
Inc. He encouraged the Commission to look within themselves and look at
these people who are valuable.
Commissioner Rundle asked how long did the summer shelter stay open?
Burton said the summer shelter was open for six weeks.
Commissioner Rundle asked what was the average population per night?
Burton said between 15 and 30 people.
Wayne Parks, Lawrence, said he agreed that the City needed to take care of
the homeless. He thought we needed a family shelter because of people who
shouldn't be mixed in with families.
Parks talked about some issues such as, is the City is going to spend
$1,000,000 to renovate the building; that the building not be renamed; and,
if the building is dangerous should we just tear it down.
Commissioner Rundle asked what was the earliest time that some of these
major components of the repairs take place.
Wildgen said approximately March 1, 2003. He said Vice Mayor Dunfield's
firm would be working on the plans when the contract is signed next week.
He said it would take some time to bid the project. He said it would be
sixty to ninety days.
Vice Mayor Dunfield agreed.
Commissioner Kennedy asked what would the Commission's action be at this
time.
Wildgen said this was a request to use the facility on a temporary basis and
if there is no action taken, there is no action taken. If the Commission
directs staff to proceed, staff would work out that use.
Commissioner Rundle said every time there is a vacant building it becomes a
lightening rod to make the building available for the homeless. He said the
Commission was asked early on by representatives from the Coalition for
Homeless Concerns to consider the Arts Center. Commissioner Rundle said he
sent an email to Gary Miller who is a representative from Bert Nash on that
committee, to not rush forward every time there is an available building,
but to identify what it is that this group needs in terms of resources and
make sure the building was suitable for that purpose. He said he did not
feel as strongly as Commissioner Kennedy does in that this is an impossible
request. He said the City did have the many years of operating in that
building and the events that occurred there. However, there were concerns
there such as dependability, safety, and functional systems. He said when
he hears that the City would not start those renovations until March, with
the simple needs of the shelter, it is hard to say that what the coalition
was asking for, is extremely out of line with what has occurred there in the
past.
He thought the City Commission, and the community needs to play a part in
addressing these needs. If it's not this building, the City needs to
understand the basic requirements of providing shelter for the people that
are turned away from The Salvation Army and do some part to facilitate that
need. He said he could tell there was one Commissioner that didn't want to
see the Arts Center used as a temporary shelter.
Commissioner Kennedy said the Fire Marshall and City staff said in their
reports that this building is not safe without some major changes for life
and safety issues. He said he is not against a temporary shelter if that
building could be done safely for both staff and the people that are staying
there, but it is not feasible at this time. He is willing to wait two weeks
to see The Salvation Army's proposal, then they could bring the proposal
back to the Commission, if there is no other feasible or prudent
alternatives.
Commissioner Rundle said he appreciated Commissioner Kennedy's opinions, but
did not think it should be compared to St. John's, which has a door on the
north side like the one at the basement of the Arts Center.
Commissioner Kennedy said St. John's passed all of the City's safety codes.
He said it meets the egress requirements. If it didn't do that, then the
Fire Marshall would have said that place was not habitable for that many
people.
Commissioner Henry said St. John's became the responsible party for the
operation and they had liability insurance. He concurred with Commissioner
Kennedy in that he wanted to know what was occurring between the Lawrence
Open Shelter and The Salvation Army concerning this issue. He said the
Commission had just received this letter from The Salvation Army and it
looked very encouraging.
Caroline Nobo, High School Representative, said approximately six or seven
years ago, they would have lock-in functions for the schools at the Lawrence
Arts Center and it seemed safe then. She was at the Arts Center when there
was actually was a fire scare. She said there were no fire alarms that went
off, they just were instructed to go outside. She understood Commissioner
Kennedy's comments about the building being dangerous, but she hears that it
is so much more dangerous for the homeless to be outside and she did not
know how they could compare that fact, with the fact of the building being
dangerous.
Vice Mayor Dunfield said the Commission's responsibility of City in this
particular situation, by allowing this City owned building to be used, the
City is accepting the responsibility for the safety of the users and for the
fact that the building does not meet life/safety code for this use in many
specific ways and ways that do directly threaten the lives of those people
who are using the property. As a City, we can't say we'll allow some other
group to take that responsibility from us. If it is a City's building and
we allow the building to be used in that way then it is our responsibility.
That of course is at war with our own impulses to want to help. In the same
way, from a policy point of view, there is a difference between our
individual moral feelings about helping people and contributing to society.
Again, their responsibilities as City officials to say what is the City's
responsibility and what is the City's specific role in this. As a City, we
need to ask for clear and professional management as well as a well
organized and disciplined program that is not merely a place for people to
stay, but also leads toward rehabilitation in some direct and measurable
way. In the same way, he did not think this particular building meets the
standards that the City needs to ask for. He is also not convinced that the
program as seeing it presented meets the kind of standards that he thought
the City needed to ask of its programs.
Commissioner Rundle said this was reasonable and thought the majority of the
Commissioner's wanted to wait and hear what unfolds in the next two weeks.
He takes seriously all of those concerns that Commission Kennedy and others
have raised and he did not think that Commissioners should get so raised in
responding to comments that are made.
He said it is clear to him that there needs to be distinctions made to show
that this proposed use is by some degree, very different from what has gone
on there. If the door in the basement is that distinct and less safe than
the door on the gym at St. John's, then he wanted to know and appreciate
that, but he did not think it was necessary to jump all over each other.
Commissioner Kennedy said a school is generally built for safety issues.
Commissioner Rundle said we're talking about the use of the school as an
overnight shelter and the use of the Arts Center as an overnight shelter and
he understood that there is a distinction between daytime use of the school
building as a school and daytime use as an Arts Center for a preschool and
nobody stays there overnight. He said what your saying is as we're
comparing apples to oranges when we talk about a school versus a shelter.
He said we needed to compare a shelter to a lock-in or overnight stay of a
youth group. Rundle said the City had to take seriously the liability and
concerns and he was not being casual and disregarding that issue.
Commissioner Kennedy said he provided a homeless man that lived behind his
business with food and shelter and suggested five different locations for
jobs. He said this homeless man tried to use The Salvation Army three
different times when he was inebriated and was turned away. Commissioner
Kennedy said he made it as safe as he could for this man to live behind his
shop. He said he had much compassion for this man and this was a liability
for him to be on his property.
The City Commission received the report from Vice Mayor Dunfield regarding
possible interim use of the Carnegie Building and agreed to place the matter
on hold pending additional information from the Salvation Army.

Linda Finger, Planning Director, presented the site plan (SP-05-33-02) for a
new auto sales business on the northwest corner of Lincoln Street and North
2nd Street. The actual site plan has not been revised. She said staff met
with the property owner and the adjacent property owner and tried to come to
an agreement, but an agreement wasn't able to be reached so that is why the
site plan is back on the agenda for approval.
Commissioner Kennedy asked it there was more communication from this
property owner than the property owner to the north?
Finger said there hasn't been anything agreed upon. Staff's recommended an
agreement for a cross-access to be filed so that at some point in the
future, when someone files on the north, there is that ability to use one
curb cut. At this point, staff is look at a temporary access point on the
north edge of this property which would be close to the access point on the
south edge of the north property.
Vice Mayor Dunfield said basically staff's recommendation was to create a
shared driveway between the two properties, essentially on the north
property line of the one that is under consideration and the parties haven't
been able to agree to share that drive.
Finger said yes. She said this was also a recommendation from KDOT because
moving an access point on the property on this site plan any further to the
south causes the City complications with where the overpass is and with
clearance.
Rusty Thomas, Lawrence, said what Finger said was not entirely accurate.
She said they had a meeting with the landowner to the south of their
property at 613 North 2nd when the discussion came up about the shared
driveway. She said her husband, Jim and her visited with C.L. Maurer and
the current landowner and when they were told about the shared driveway, she
said they looked at it and they said it would be preferable from a safety
standpoint than two driveways close together with a mountable curb, but the
other landowner was not in agreement. She said her paramount issue is
safety. A number of people know what interest she has in North 2nd Street
and has been interested in that road since they bought property there in the
late 70's. She has worked diligently and effectively to get improvements
made to that road, first with an overlay and then with City staff getting
much needed money from the state, major renovations and drainage
improvements to the area. However, if you drive down that road, this road
is a very dangerous stretch of road and is particularly dangerous when you
come to 613 North 2nd and further south where the road narrows. She said
they have a lot of truck traffic going in an out of their business and they
have deliveries made for chemicals and other items.
Thomas said she did not care if this proposed land use was a used car lot,
but they would have a lot of traffic coming in for that used car lot. She
said with two driveways, they would see a lot of cross traffic coming in and
she could see a lot of problems occurring at that location. She reiterated
that they were not in disagreement with staff's request for a shared
driveway.
Another issue is possible flooding because of a 24-inch curb that is going
to be between the two properties and would cause flooding to their back door
and into their building. She said it was not fair to negatively impact
existing businesses for new businesses coming in. Businesses that have long
contributed to the community, paid taxes, and have worked hard to make this
a better community.
C.L. Maurer, Landplan Engineering, representing the owner, said he
understood the traffic issues on this highway. He said they went through
KDOT and KDOT gave them three different options. One was to go down to
Lincoln Street and make a four way, but Terese Gorman, City Engineer, was
against four ways and it was not an option. The second option was a
mid-range curb cut, but the problem was there were too many curb cuts across
the street where the existing grocery store was. The third option was a
shared curb cut to the north property line and/or if the Engineering
Department would agree, a wider curb cut along there, showing 25' on their
property and 12' on the north. Once you bring up truck traffic, this is a
better situation than a 25' wide curb cut. When you talk about semi trucks
coming in and out, you should have a 30' to 35' wide curb cut to get your
trucks in and out. He said they had a shared access easement whenever the
property to the north redevelops, and then this curb cut goes to 25' wide.
The negative impact to the rest of these properties is that she has had a
25' wide curb cut there and it would no longer be there, but now it is going
to be 36' wide. The mountable curb is part of the asphalt and construction
and the mountable curb is only 24' wide and 1 ½" tall, so driving over a
mountable curb is not that big of a deal for a truck or even a car.
The existing drainage, the lot itself, drains to the southeast and across
the site towards Lincoln. He said the Division of Water Resources approved
their filling permit and were currently going through the Corp of Engineers
because they needed this in writing.
He said there has always been a drainage problem in North Lawrence because
it was flat and low. Filling occurs up and down North 2nd Street. Every
developed property in this area has fill property. He said Thomas's
building on her lot was a little lower than the existing curb, but they were
not making drainage worse for her, it still comes across to Lincoln and 2nd
Street.
Commissioner Kennedy asked what was the approximated difference in finished
floor elevation of this new site versus the old site?
Maurer said approximately 5 feet.
Commissioner Kennedy asked how much elevation from that site to Rusty's?
Maurer said approximately 5 feet.
Alexander Plotnikov, owner of the property, said they had difficulty with
the property owner on the north because they used his property without his
permission. He talked to Mr. Thomas and he agreed that he would pay for the
use of his property to get in and out and to park. Plotnikov said he was
concerned if the drive way was shared, that it would be hard for Thomas to
follow the agreement.
He said he would like to exercise his rights to use the property he
purchased and put a shop at that location. The shop would meet all City
codes and requirements and that is what the City wanted to see for new
businesses on 2nd Street.
He said concerning traffic, they would not be making it worse because the
driveway would be wide enough.
The floodwater would be held by a retaining wall on the north side of the
property line. In the future, he would like to work with the neighbors. He
asked the City Commission to approve the site plan.
Commissioner Kennedy asked if Plotnikov was concerned about his clients
getting off and on this street.
Plotnikov said yes.
Commissioner Kennedy said approximately six years ago, when he was on the
Commission with Commissioner Moody, there was a traffic study on this street
which the study led to the speed limit increasing from 35 mph to 45 mph. He
said once traffic leaves the intersection and travels through that tunnel,
traffic is ready to move down the street. Kennedy said if he was putting in
a business at that location, he would have major concerns about his
customers traveling on a street that was hard to see. If staff and KDOT
approved this site plan, he would probably concur, but he did have a
concern.
Plotnikov said the reason why he asked for a driveway going north/south was
because the north property building was located near the street and it was
hard to see.
Commissioner Henry agreed with Commissioner Kennedy. If KDOT and staff
approved the site plan, he also concurred.
Commissioner Kennedy said there were 12 recommended conditions by staff and
he assumed they were meeting all of the recommended conditions.
Finger said yes. The majority of those items are site plan revisions and
because this issue has taken such a long time, they did not want to invest
the money to do those revisions unless the site plan was moving forward.
Vice Mayor Dunfield said the Commission had given both properties a chance
to resolve differences and that hasn't happened, but the Commission did have
staff's recommendations.
Commissioner Rundle said one of those provisions talked about redevelopment
of the property next to it and was there any redevelopment that would not
trigger the same fill requirements.
Finger said redevelopment within the same structure would not trigger fill
requirements such as interior renovation.
Thomas asked, if this site plan is approved and they needed to put in some
type of loading dock adjacent to the big garage door towards the west end of
the building, would that have any trigger on that too?
Finger asked if the loading dock would be elevated.
Thomas said not much. The dock would be approximately ground level.
Finger said this certainly was not the intent of that provision.
Thomas said she did not see why they had to wait to put in a loading dock
and why couldn't it be done now. She said what she is hearing is that City
staff was proposing to narrow their driveway.
Finger said the applicant should not be working on her property at all.
Thomas said they were going to need to work on her property, to put that
mountable curb in.
Finger said no, not without Thomas's permission.
Thomas said KDOT was recommending a single driveway and she was not opposed
to that.
Moved by Kennedy, seconded by Henry, to approve the site plan (SP-05-33-02)
for a new auto sales business on the northwest corner of Lincoln Street and
North 2nd Street, subject to the following conditions:

David Corliss, Assistant City Manager/Legal Services Director, presented
the staff report concerning the condemnation of a utility easement for the
Westwood Hills sanitary sewer project and related utility needs. He said
earlier in the year the Commissioners considered Ordinance No. 7574,
authorizing the condemnation of a 20' utility easement that was necessary to
provide electrical power to the Westwood Hills sanitary sewer project. If
you take a look at staff memorandum there is an error that he wanted to draw
the Commission's attention to. He said staff had 6th Street labeled
incorrectly which should be ½ mile to the south. The easement proposed has
been unsuccessful with the property owner to acquire that easement. When
second reading to the condemnation ordinance was considered, the Finney's,
property owners immediately to the north of the proposed easement addressed
the City Commission with a number of concerns. Corliss said he met with this
property owner and asked Phil Struble, design engineer, LandPlan
Engineering, for the pump station project along with representatives from
Westar Energy to respond to some of the concerns. Specifically, the
Finney's were concerned that this location was near their property and
whether or not there were better alternatives that would move the easement
away from the proposed location.
Representatives from KPL, Kansas Public Light, were present to answer any
questions the Commission might have. He said staff recommends that we
proceed with the condemnation of this ordinance. The pump station that
needs this electricity is complete and the project is waiting for the
electrical power. The easement is also needed to provide power for this
entire developing corridor and representatives from Westar could respond to
that issue.
Corliss said he talked with Mrs. Finney last week and she still expressed
concerns about the easement. He tried to respond to those concerns and
advised her that this issue would be placed on the City Commission's agenda.
Ordinance No. 7574, authorizing the condemnation of a utility easement for
the Westwood Hills sanitary sewer project and related utility needs was read
a second time. Moved by Henry, seconded by Henry, to adopt the ordinance.
Aye: Dunfield, Henry, Kennedy and Rundle. Nay: None. Motion carried
unanimously. (28)
Chuck Soules, Public Works Director, presented the staff report concerning
the traffic-calming circle at the intersection of Century Drive and
Crestline Drive. He said in February, residents in the neighborhood
involving Century and Crestline Drives approached the Traffic Safety
Commission and requested a temporary traffic-calming device installed at
that location. Staff installed a temporary device and since that time,
there has been good response. The residents are now requesting a permanent
installation of this device because there has been less traffic and the
speed of traffic had slowed down considerably.
He said there were some issues with construction and engineering costs.
Soules said at the agenda meeting, David Woosley, Traffic Engineer, was
asked if he could think of any other options. In Woosley's initial report,
it was estimated at $10,000 for engineering and between $30,000 and $50,000
for construction costs.
He presented the Commission with diagrams of other options. The first
option would be to stop the cut-through traffic which would close off
Century and Crestline Drives from connecting through. He said drainage
might be an issue. The second option was to place a median or island at
Crestline Drive running north and possibly to the south. The problem with
this option would be access would only be from the side road or Moundview
Drive. The third option would be a traffic circle at the intersection of
Crestline and Moundview to deter that cut through traffic through Moundview
Drive. He said these options could potentially be done in house and reduce
the costs.
Commissioner Rundle asked if the temporary installation of the traffic
calming device had been at that location.
Soules said yes. It has been the temporary installation with concrete and
plastic posts.
Vice Mayor Dunfield said some residents have learned that they could drive
over those plastic posts.
Soules said yes.
Bob Still, Lawrence, said a number of people frequently drive over the
plastic post. He said a retired friend from the Fire/Medical Department
advised him that the Fire Department doesn't care if they drive over these
traffic-calming devices. Also, he was uncertain whether this was a school
route because if you follow Crestline on down it goes by West Junior High
School. He said this traffic-calming device has, up until recently, slowed
down quite a number of people. He said this area was built in the 50's and
had approximately 300 houses in this area and to his knowledge, other than
regular maintenance, the City hasn't put anything into this area other than
standard maintenance to the streets. He said there were no sidewalks which
forced everyone to walk in the street or on the curb.
He said the residents in this area petitioned for the installation of the
temporary traffic calming circle at Crestline and Century Drives, January
2002; went before the Traffic Safety Commission which passed the temporary
installation unanimously on Feb 4th; a unanimous approval from the
Neighborhood Association, February 20th; passed on the City Commission's
consent agenda by a unanimous vote, February 26th; in October, they
presented a 2nd petition for supporting the temporary traffic calming circle
and requested a permanent traffic signal; a unanimous decision by the
Traffic Safety Commission again on November 4th; and, it was on the City
Commission's consent agenda again and was passed unanimously on November 19.
He said there wasn't any negative complaints from neighbors and there was
nothing but positive feedback concerning this issue.
He said he was concerned that the proposal did not mention to completely
block Crestline from 6th Street. This would force his neighborhood to come
off of 9th Street or Rockledge to get into their neighborhood. A lot of
this traffic was created by people going to the University, past West Junior
High School, through Meadowbrook and over to 15th Street, which then goes
directly to the University. As Lawrence increased in size and developed, a
number of multiplex apartments have been built on the opposite side of 6th
Street and these residents were also using Crestline Drive.
He said his neighborhood wanted to thank the City Commission and the Traffic
Safety Commission for all their hard work.
Commissioner Rundle asked Still if the Commission undertook to review other
options, what would he see as the role of the neighbors in that process.
Still said they would like to at least participate and they wanted something
to help enhance the neighborhood. If they did go the consultant route, they
would like to have some type of say in the final determination or design.
As far as the safety and design, they are leaving that up to the
professionals to handle. He said David Woosley, Traffic Engineer, designed
their traffic calming circle and it worked. He said rubber curbing could
possibly be installed to keep the people from driving over the temporary
calming circles.
Larry Lovell, Lawrence, said he had the most difficult maneuvering because
of the traffic-calming device getting in and out of his driveway and yet he
was in favor of this device. Since this calming device was installed he
noticed that the traffic has decreased and the traffic on Rockledge has
increased. Approximately 10% of the traffic tries to maneuver around that
device as fast as they can, but the majority of the traffic is not driving
as fast as they did. He said there is one person who goes down Century,
through the middle to Rockledge, make the circle and come back to go the
other direction. The purpose of the calming device has worked. He was open
to look at other options proposed to see if they would provide a better
solution.
He moved into his residence in 1984 and since he has lived there, he had 16
vehicles go through his yard. He said the worst incident was when a vehicle
came up 6th Street, cut through a corner of his neighbor's yard, up to his
yard and hit his truck, then pushed his truck into his car, which then hit
his house and the vehicle drove off.
Lovell said the neighborhood was thankful for the temporary traffic-calming
device and he was willing to work with the City and Traffic Safety
Commission to place a permanent traffic- calming device at that location.
Wildgen said the Cadillac Ranch was a source of some of his neighborhood's
traffic problems.
Vice Mayor Dunfield said street closure is a simple traffic calming device
that the City had not tried since he has been on the Commission. He had
looked at that particular configuration. Since these streets were two local
streets with good access, but cut-through traffic was not desired, this was
an alternative that was worth exploring. This idea might be a more
economical than this strangely shaped device that was now in place.
Commissioner Kennedy asked if this idea of street closure was something that
they could try on a temporary basis.
Vice Mayor Dunfield said it seemed like a temporary street closure was
possible.
Soules said Still had a good point, but staff would need to check school and
mail routes. He knew the City's sanitation routes would need some
adjustments.
Vice Mayor Dunfield said the bus route would be the most important issue.
Commissioner Kennedy asked if the K.U. Bus system used that route.
Lovell said the only bus he has seen on that route was the Paratransit Bus
System.
Vice Mayor Dunfield said he would like to see an in-house study before
creating a figure eight.
Commissioner Rundle said he assumed that an in-house study would include
comment from the Fire/Medical and Sanitation Departments.
Wildgen said yes.
Commissioner Henry said he appreciated the willingness of the residents to
be a part of the process of solving this issue.
Vice Mayor Dunfield called for public comment.
Wayne Parks, Lawrence, said he had attended the USD board meetings trying to
decide how to vote on the bond issue. He said he chastised the school board
for moving Lawrence from east to west and suddenly realized is was not all
their fault. He said a lot of our problems have been caused by lack of
planning.
He also wanted to comment about a remark from Larry Bartz, owner of a
firework stand, at last weeks City Commission meeting. He said Bartz seemed
only interested in the money portion of the issue of fireworks.
Parks commented also, on the 6th and K-10 project. He wanted to commend
Brain Kubota, representing Diamondhead Development, for waiting on that
particular corner until there were plans made.
Another comment from Park was that he has talked about Tax Abatement and
wondered why we couldn't work out some type of percentage on tax abatements
that would help young people to buy houses in single family dwelling
neighborhoods.
Still another comment was rezoning, he said we do a lot of rezoning in his
opinion which might be to accommodate developers because we are afraid that
we are going to lose their money if we don't accommodate them. In the long
run, are we gaining or losing when we come back with problems later on.
The ordinance that was passed recently on the single-family zoning and the
number of people that can live in those houses, in his opinion, hasn't done
what it should have done. By making landowners register and bringing their
buildings up to code is simply raising the cost of living for people who
can't afford it.
He wanted to know how much tax-exempt property we had in Lawrence and what
percentage of total land and total jobs are tax using jobs.
Parks talked about Carnegie Hall and thought a million dollars was a lot for
renovation and could that money be used for more important needs.
Finally, he said we have wasted money on the SLT and we still didn't have
anything. He said he read in the paper about extending Wakarusa Drive to
Hwy 458 and why wasn't that done for the SLT before we wasted all that
money.
Moved by Kennedy, seconded by Rundle, to adjourn at 8:35 p.m.
Motion carried unanimously.
