Preservation office finds inconsistencies in plans for project
Arts center expansion still not finalized

Later this month the Lawrence City Commission will hear public comment about expanding the Lawrence Arts Center, a project that has been debated by residents for more than 10 years.
The State Historic Preservation Office recommended Tuesday that plans to expand the Lawrence Arts Center, 200 W. Ninth St., were not consistent with some guidelines.
The public hearing tentatively is set for March 30.
Cathy Ambler, Kansas assistant divisions director for cultural resources, said the State Historic Preservation Office made recommendations based on guidelines set by the secretary of interior.
"We provide advice," Ambler said. "We have 30 days to review
every project, and we treat each project fairly and consistently."
The Lawrence Arts Center occupies the Carnegie Library building, which is owner by the city. Karmen Huyser, president of the arts center's board of directors, said in the 20 years the arts center has occupied the building, that its programming needs have grown considerably.
"We need more space," Huyser said. "We want to remain downtown because it is in a centrally located space in the city. That's why we've resisted the idea of relocating to somewhere in West Lawrence."
Huyser said that the project plans calls for expanding west, as opposed to north. The result will be the demolition of six homes that sit west of the arts center.
"Moving west versus moving north gives us more of a square-configured building that makes for a more usable space." Huyser said. "Moving north is less desirable because it creates a long tunnel-shaped building."

James Dunn, who owns the six rental homes that would be removed for the expansion, said he was pleased with Powers' recommendations.
"I thought he was very astute at looking at the longer range effect of the project more than we have in Lawrence," Dunn said. "With the expansion, I would be gone. All of my holdings would be gone."
early 20th centuries, had acted as of only a few remaining residential structures downtown.
"This type of housing is more moderately-priced housing," Dunn said. "My buildings have been able to withstand intrusion into the neighborhood after corner after corner was bulldozed to become commercial."
Dennis Enslinger, Lawrence historic resources administrator, said the state recommendations were what he had expected.
"We're concerned about the project's size and scale." Enslinger said. "Now it will go before the city commission to see if there is a feasible alternative."
