Pinckney Building, Rezoning Moratorium Rejected
By KENN LOUDEN
Kanaan Staff Reporter
The Lawrence Planning Commission last night rejected a request by the Planning Facility Committee of the Pinkney Neighborhood Association to declare a moratorium on building and rezoning in the Pinkney neighborhood.
The association requested that no more building or rezoning be allowed in the neighborhood until the completion of the new city comprehensive plan.
Jane Eldredge of 511 Ohio St, presented the request to the planning commission. She said residents of the Pinckney neighborhood were worried that the city was allowing the neighborhood to slowly lose its residential status.
Eldridge said she was especially worried about plans to build the city garage near the Pinckney neighborhood next to the water plant. She said the Pinckney neighborhood is far from residential districts and traffic than most residential districts because of nearby residential offices, city
buildings and the waterworks.
In addition, she said, the garage would impede plans to build a proposed river bridge.
wumun J. Womack of 201 Dakota and planning commission said he was against the moratorium because the commission has been allowed to do its work before it with regard to the needs of the rest of the city. To allow the Pinckney neighborhood moratorium on building and rezoning would be to ignore the rest of the city, said, thus, setting a dangerous precedent.
He also said the comprehensive plan had to undergo many changes before it would be completed, and this could take many months.
After the commission's decision to deny the request, Eldredge said that one of the Pindkey neighborhood's worries was a proposed storm sewer to be placed between the train tracks running from Maine to Michigan streets. She said that this land was already zoned
She said a sewer built in this area wouldn't benefit any of the residents, and she speculated that the only reason the property would be sold to sell the property for commercial use.
for commercial use and that more businesses might be added to the area if the
"At present, this land provides a good natural barrier between 6th St. and the residential area," she said. "We don't want to see it change into another commercial area that does more harm than it does good."
Maxine E. Newman of 415 Illinois St., a member of the Pinkney Neighborhood Association, said the city had allowed too many businesses to encroach upon it and that this includes city businesses, private businesses and the waterworks, she said.
The neighborhood is against all these changes, she said, and it is trying to do that.
There are many children like Johnny who have problems caused by broken homes or lack of affection that require more activity and attention than therapy. The Bert Nash Health Center at 4th and Missouri streets is doing something for these children.
The center has established a volunteer program that enables the children to work on a one-to-one basis with a volunteer. The center also offers training in child care center. For example, volunteers take the

Eldridge said that traffic in the Pindock neighborhood was already so bad that the streets were dangerously overcrowded and they needed to find a parking place on week days.

The Pinckney Neighborhood Association hopes the proposed riverfront park will soon be built, she said. This will increase the value of Pinckney as a residential neighborhood and will encourage more people to move into the area.

children to recreation areas.
The volunteers aren't expected to judge advice or interpret what the child says. Use a calm tone and a reassuring voice; the child is therapeutic, according to Frances Macauley, coordinator of the program.
"Pinky young people have moved into the Pincoy neighborhood," she said. "This means that there will be many more young children in the area within a few years."
"People who volunteer to work in mental health are good listeners and want to help," she said. "I feel that volunteers can do good work and they can right volunteer can be very thankful."
she thought the association would be successful in their action against the success.
Eldridge said that the Pinchkey Neighborhood Association was still in its planning stint but that members planned to organize strong political force within the next week.
"We would like to return Pinckney to the quiet area that it once was—allbutough I doubt that it is possible," she said. "We are in favor of more parks, beautification and green spaces, which everyone in the neighborhood—not just potential commercial interests."
"These people don't want to have to worry about having their children run over by a car," she said.
There are no restrictions regarding the types of cases the center will treat, according to Marsha Opat, administrative assistant for the center.
She said the association had been successful in keeping some industry out of the Pinkney area and it was trying to prevent the construction of the city garage, which the city manager's office had recommended be built next to the city water plant. She said
The center has individual counseling, and family and group sessions, Opat said. The center provides play therapy for the children who were born with a disability which was not into effect in February.
