City, billboard firm compromise
By ANN LANGENFELD

Staff Reporter
The City of Lawrence has reached a tentative agreement with Martin Outdoor, the California-based firm that owns 28 billboards. The company would allow the company to have 20 billboards within the city limits, Mayor Bayark Hearl said in a press conference.
If the agreement is approved, the city's billboard ordinance will be rewritten to conform with the agreement.
The agreement will be finished if it is completed by the team regularly scheduled meeting next Tuesday night. Clark said he thought the chances of the team approving the agreement were good.
An ordinance written 12 years ago banned bulbars in Lawrence. However, the ordinance was changed to permit bulbars 1979 to remove the signs. Early in October the commissioners agreed to try to change the ordinance.
Clark said he was pleased that the city and the company had been able to reach an agreement.
"I HAVE ALWAYS had misgivings about removing a business with a stroke of a pen," he said.
According to the agreement, all the billboards downtown will be removed, with the exception of three faces on the Underwood mull building in the 600 block of Massachusetts Street. Those will be allowed to remain and develop of that property occurs.
nine-street, eventually will be demilitarized.
One site will be located on East 23rd Street and North Second Street. One new structure will be built on West Sixth Street. The sign will be west of Maine Street and east of California property. There will be a thick stretch of commercial property.
The building, which Clark said was not being used, eventually will be demolished.
THE ACTUAL SITE of the new sign will
be selected by Martin Outdoor subject to city commission approval.
Equally important as the number of billboards, Clark said, is how the billboards are created. If you rebuild all the signs so they will be a single pole structure with cedar trim, underground
Martin Outdoor has agreed to be in compliance with the agreement by Dec 31, 1980.
Bob Humes, vice president for Martin Luther King Jr.'s organization, said the happy compromise had been reached. He said the company was anxious to keep its business in Lawrence, its third largest city.
Both Clark and Humes said they also were happy that hatiation had been avoided, but Mr. Clark said it had compromised not been made. Clark, a KU law professor, said a city's right to ban billboards was a hotly debated issue in court action would be lengthy and expensive.
