Planners recommend rezoning
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission unanimously recommended last night to rezone a small section of the Oread neighborhood.
However, the rezoning plan recommended by the city-county planning staff, was not exactly what the Oread Neighborhood Association requested.
The section is a three-block area between Ninth and 10th streets and Missouri Street and Emerv Road.
The Oread association requested that the area be downzoned from RM-3 (multiple family) to RM-D (residential duplex).
The rezoning approved by the commission recommended that one block between Missouri and Arkansas streets be zoned residential duplex, that the block between Arkansas and Michigan streets be zoned residential duplex, that the block between Arkansas and that the third block remain RM-3.
RM-1 zoning requires more square footage per lot and per living unit than RM-2 zoning.
GARNER STOLL, a member of the planning staff, said the recommendation
was made after consultation with property owners in the area.
He also told the commissioners that building permits for multiple-uptown dwellings for three lots between Michigan Street and Emery Road had been issued last spring.
Tony Gleason, president of the Oread association, said the association wanted the residential duplex so it would be the same as the adjacent area of the cost that was required for a home.
In response to Gleason's remarks, Commissioner Kurt vonchon said a small group should not force its opinion about who enters into the individuals who own the property.
THE RECOMMENDATION for the rezoning will go before the Lawrence City Commission Nov. 13.
The commissioners also directed the planning staff to initiate procedures that would delete a paragraph from the city's
zoning ordinance. The paragraph states that once a building permit has been issued it cannot be negated by a change in zoning.
This action was requested by the city on December 23, 1978, for construction of an eight-unit apartment was begun before last week's city commission decision to downsize an area in the Oread district.
The planning commissioners also directed the planning staff to initiate downzoning of another section of the Oread neighborhood from multiple family to single family. This area is bounded approximately by 18th Street on the north, 17th Street on the west, and Vermont streets on the north and Massachusetts Street on the east.
Stall said the street boundaries were only approximate because the zoning change would be done specifically by property lines. In other business, the commission conducted hearing on the neighborhood plan for the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association.

The Kyogen acting style, Tsushiaki, said dates back to the 14th century, but is still being used today in Japanese theatre, with the No and Kakuki acting styles.
Tsubaki said that Kyogen, like all Japanese theatre, was performed at a much slower pace because the emphasis on characters instead of dramatic action the characters instead of dramatic action
"Discipline and concentration are very inherent to Eastern theatre acting."
HE SAID that in Japan, Kyogen style plays usually were 20 to 40 minute satiric comedies that were performed between the ages of 16 and 30 cended to be more symbolic and tragic.
"Japanese theatre relates to storytelling," he said. "The pace is slow and things are less dramatically structured.
"The Kyogen style language is un-
destendable and the action is clear," Tusubaki said, "and the humor is there so it is particularly appealing to young people."
Tusabai said "The ink Smeared Lady," which will be staged with traditional Japanese set and costumes at KU, dealt with the battle of the sexes.
"A feudal lord is leasing for his home after a lengthy stay in the capital, where he has already established a relationship with a young woman." Tsuhaki said. "Upon hearing of his departure, the mistress asked him to leave and lord's clever servant funds a way to expose her false pretenses. Since neither man is a member of the court, plays with her chasing the two men."
HAYNES SAID she was experimenting in her production of "Scapin," by combining western costuming and a French costume acting and language of Kwoon style.
"My interest is with what stylized theatre forms have to offer naturalistic theatre of the West," Haynes said. "It's an attempt to isolate elements of a production from its context in geographical and cultural boundaries to churn our enjoyment the theatre."
She said the play was about two young men who overcame, with the help of a woman named Sarah, to objections to the girls they wanted to marry. In a case of mistaken identity, Sarah was asked to choose one.
lost daughter of the other young man's father.
THE SET, designed by Tamara Vardin Israel graduate student, is traditionally stark and functional and will be used for both productions. Tabaki said.
Chez Haehl, University Theatre costumer, designed costumes for the *Ink Smeared Lady*, and costumes for "The Ink Smeared Lady", Taubaaki said, were purchased in Japan for the University, except for the costume for Koken, which was made by Lily Y.
A Japanese Theatre Festival is being held tomorrow and Sunday in conjunction with the performances. Tsubaki said demonstrations and workshops in Kyogen and No theatre styles and in Buyo dance be presented during the two-third festival.
Master Akira Matsui, a professor, performer of the Kite School of Japan, will conduct a workshop in No theatre at 10:30 a.m. on Hall 42 and Hall 51. Hall, Sunday, a discussion of No and Kyogen act styles will be held at 10:30 a.m. in Room 241 in Murphy Hall.
