Hy-Vee will come at a price
Grocery chain agrees to make improvements

Construction on a Hy-Vee grocery store at West Sixth Street and Monterey Way could begin as early as this week.
The Lawrence City Commission unanimously voted last night to require Hy-Vee to complete street and stormwater improvements at the southwest corner of the intersection as a part of the store's building permit agreement.
City Manager Mike Wildgen said the city wanted to make sure the improvements were planned before construction began on the store. Hy-Vee has agreed to post a $100,000 bond for the cost of the off-site improvements.
"This way we will be assured that the work will be done since
this is an off-premise project," Wildgen said. "It is a condition of the issuance of a building permit that has come as part of the review process."
Wildgen said he thought the improvements would be done this summer.
Landplan Engineering, 1310 Wakarusa Drive, will be in charge of the stormsewer and street improvements. Tim Herdon, who represented Landplan at the commission meeting, said the improvements would increase the capacity of water that the stormwater sewers could hold, which will compensate for the increased water generated by the Hy-Vee store.
"The moral of my story is that the applicant not only meets the standards for the property but that the applicant is going above and beyond to make sure that the city and neighborhood's concerns are met," Herndon said.
Commissioner Erv Hodges said at the meeting that he was concerned that the sewers' increased capacity would cause flooding in southern Lawrence, where the

water will flow.
"We already have flooding at Quail Creek," Hodges said. "It seems to me that if the sewers are built to handle more water, then it will flow south, and they will have more water down there."
This particular site is ready
Herndon said Hy-Vee would have to receive an occupancy permit once the store was built that would be contingent on the stormwater improvements' completion.
Ruth Mitchell, assistant vice president of communications for Hy-Vee, said the company was ready to begin construction immediately.
for development, and we hope to be getting started as soon as possible," Mitchell said. "We are working on getting bids for it right now."
Mitchell said the new store would be 66,000 square feet and cost about $10 million, including land, construction and equipment prices.
rme new Hy-Vee store will have services not available at the current Lawrence Hy-Vee location. 3504 Clinton Parkway. The additional services will include an expanded food court, more meals ready for takeout and a pharmacy with a drive-up window, Mitchell said.

Art Center plans squeak by Commission
By Heather Woodward hwoodward@kansan.com kansan staff writer
A decision to design plans for a Lawrence Arts Center in the 900 block of New Hampshire Street divided Lawrence City Commissioners at last night's meeting.
In a 3-2 vote, the commission approved the drafting of plans by Glenn Livinggood Penzler Architects, 1001 New Hampshire St., for a center at the New Hampshire Street location.
Trouble arose after a suggestion was made by Bill Newsome, who represented Riverfront L.L.C., the company that owns the Riverfront Mall. He said there might be interest in having the arts center at the mall.
He requested the commission defer a decision to draft designs for 60 days, while Riverfront L.L.C. conducted space analysis of the mall.
"I think it would be premature to draft plans for the arts center without considering alternative locations," Newsome said at the meeting. "Everything has seemed to happen so fast with the 900 block of New Hampshire suddenly being ordained as the new location, and there has been no time for other locations to make presentations."
Ann Evans, who is on the Lawrence Arts Center board of directors, said she had met with the East Lawrence Association and groups who represented the Carnegie Library, 200 W. Ninth St., which is where the arts center is now. She said they were both in favor of having the center as part of the Downtown 2000 project on New Hampshire Street.
"We had contacted the developers of the Downtown 2000 project, and they followed through," Evans said. "It seemed like a great opportunity for us."
Newsome said Riverfront L.L.C. had
approached the center's board of directors about the possibility of having the center at the mall but was told that the Carnegie Library needed to be eliminated as an option before others were considered.
before others Commissioner Bob Moody said he was hesitant to approve funding for drafting plans for the New Hampshire Street location without a guarantee that it would end up being built there. The first phase of the architects' plan will cost the city and the arts center $35,000.
"The New Hampshire site shows promise, but is it the only site with promise? I just do not know," Moody said at the meeting. "I don't want to spend any monies until we feel as a commission that this is the direction we want to go."
Commissioners Moody and Bonnie Augustine voted against the drafting of plans by Glenn Livingood Penzler Architects.
