Commission OKs street consultant
A task force recommendation that the city of Lawrence hire a consultant to propose ways of uprating North Second and South Third by the city commission Tuesday night.
The Chamber North Second Street Task Force, a 12-member committee, had been appointed last May to look into alleged problems on North Second Street.
The committee's unanimous recommendation, said Glenn Wheat, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce executive vice president, was that "this is not a project for a volunteer group. We need some experience to explore all alternatives."
North Second Street runs from the site of the new city hall across the Kansas River Bridge to the airport.
West said the project was public and private and that professional recommendations were needed on how the problem should be handled.
He said it would involve a long-term solution with substantial price tags.
"THIS SHOULD not be a paint-up, fix up project," he said.
Commissioner Marci Francisco, who cast the dissenting vote, said the project seemed to have taken priority over consideration of neighborhood plans.
Other commissioners disagreed with Francisco. Carter said the city had a
number of priorities and the neighborhood plans and North Second Street could be worked on at the same time.
Francisco also said funds for hiring outside consultants should have been considered during the city budget heartstrings this past summer.
MAYOR BARKLEY Clark requested that City Manager Bufford Watson put cost estimates on consultant fees for next week's commission meeting.
In other business, the commissioners approved k-1 the rezoning of 2.2 acres of land in the western part of Iowa and Iowa streets from C-5 (limited commercial) to C-4 (general commercial).
The zoning request was made by Jim Clark, 2020 Quail Creek, who wanted to sell the land to a group planning to build a home improvement store on the site.
The rezoning of the property was requested because lumber would be stored at the home center store and the basinning does not allow lumbarwards.
A covenant was attached to the zoning request that would limit the yard's use to residents of the neighborhood. This was done because neighbors near the property had expressed concern that the C-4 zoning also would allow businesses or industries to be built on the site.

Randall Neon, assistant director in charge of energy research and development, said that alternative energy sources provide more common place in Kansas basins.

Owners of newly constructed homes are turning to solar heating systems more and more, he said. And many owners of older homes have been fabricated systems for their homes, he added.
"In solar energy systems, we're getting to the point where mass production and competition are bringing the prices down,"

NOON SAID THAT the only way to estimate the increase of solar heating systems would be to count the number of windows and the size of tax incentives for installment their systems.

"The idea would be to create a sensitivity, he said. "You do it by saying 'What if this happened?' The police officer would know if the provocation was there."
SRINIVASAN SAID the seminar would try to explain the banner policy through hypothetical cases.
Srinivasan said he was optimistic about the approval of the seminar.
"I THINK THERE would be broad support for this idea," he said. "It would be a
good start. Once you get people together, a certain understanding develops.
"We should get the segments of the community together beforehand. Everyone has a stake in this. We need to create an awareness in the community."

benefits of solar energy systems, it will feel safer in purchasing them, he said.
Kuby, a Lawrence graduate student, unfurled a banner that read, "KU Out of South Africa," at KU's Commencement Mav21.
"As with all products, it takes some time for the public to get used to a new product," Noon said.
When Kuby refused to turn over his banner to University police, he was arrested on charges of interfering with the duties of a police officer.
The charges, however, were dismissed by the University Judiciary Committee.
AFTER HIS ARREST, Kuby press charges against various administrators and police officials, claiming that they had violated their Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct.
Noon said a trade-off point had to be considered in the installation of solar heating systems.
"How much the system costs to install it to be considered along with how much energy will have to be saved to pay for the systems," he said.
Kuby's trial in Municipal Court is scheduled Sept. 20. Kuby is free on $500 bond.
Jim Williams, vice president of the company, said he had worked with Williams and Kubola, said his firm had not worked on any houses recently that incorporated extensive solar heating systems.
NOON SAID THAT financial aid in the form of guaranteed loans and tax incentives was available to persons installing solar heating systems in their homes.
"The initial cost is so great that the systems don't warrant construction at this time." Williams said.
TOM DEAN AND his wife have spent three winters in a house six miles south of Lawrence, near Pleasant Grove, that has solar energy features.
Bob Gould of Design Build Architects in Lawrence said, "We had a solar project last year and one that we just finished. They're getting better." We we've no active systems lately."
He said that solar water heating systems were an especially popular and economical way to use solar energy in the home.
Most are not entirely solar, Noon said.
"They usually take about 80 percent of the
heating load from the water heaters.
He said the weather of Kansas was well-suited to solar energy systems.
"Our area is good. It is much better than other areas in the United States," he said. Noon said wind also might prove to be a
Noon said wind also might prove to be a valuable energy source for Kauanss.
Mr. Dean said that simple, passive solar futures, such as the absence of northern exposure to wind, would be incorporated into the design of a house and would save the owner a considerable amount of money.
"IN THE SUMMER, especially, the wind is more dependable than the sun is," he said.
"Every house should be passive," she said. "Ours incorporates both active and passive systems.
"I think that in the future people will be very foolish if they don't beat at least their water with solar-powered systems."
