Faculty Club Zoning OKd
A proposed non-profit private club faculty for the University of Kansas Faculty Club raised little argument at Wednesday night's planning commission meeting.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission gave its approval to a final mapping and to the requested special usage of the residential zoned land.
The property is owned by the KU Endowment Association and is north of West 11th Street, approximately 315 feet east of West Campus Drive.
Curtis Besinger, professor of architecture, said the club intended to renovate and to add to the former Pi Kappa Tau fraternity house, 1120 W. 11th St. He said a dining room would be part of the projected addition.
Beesinger said the group had initially aimed for a membership of approximately
400 faculty and 200 other Lawrence residents.
He said that by last week, 500 members had been recruited, two-thirds of whom were female.
Two other requests for special use permission have been drawn from the planning commission meetings.
A controversial request for a proposed rock quarry operation three-fourths of a mile south of U.S. Highway 40 on both sides of Monmouth Road 1025 was withdrawn by letter.
K. H.&J. Rock Co. of Topeka, which would have the quarry on land owned by Elmer Zeb, will examine its request and seek another location in Douglas County.
The request had generated heated opposition from residents in the area under
consideration and from local environmentalists at large.
The issue came back to the planning commission after the Douglas County Commission failed to arrive at the unanimous vote. The commission signed a protest petition signed by landowners.
The other withdrawn request for a special permit use permit sought approval to operate a proposed rehabilitation center for handicapped persons at 746 Ohio St.
The request was withdrawn by Gary Condra, head of Cottonwood Inc., on behalf of the property owners. The owners had decided not to rent the property for the purpose in question because it would have required the addition of a frontal fire escape to comply with State Board of Health rulings.
