County board faces suit by Villages Inc.
By THERESE MENDENHALL
A "friendly suit" against the Douglas County Board of Commissioners is being planned by The Villages Inc. in its search for a new CEO. The board and reflected children in Douglas County.
The Villages board decided to go to court following a vote by the county commission two weeks ago when the commission didn't give unanimous approval for the Village's site. The commission said a unanimous vote was needed but the Villages board ignored it.
Lance Burr, Lawrence Villages project,
director, said the case would be brought
to the judge's attention.
The site, the second requested this year, is a ridge in the Pleasant Valley area southwest of St. Charles, where the area filed a petition protesting the building of the homes after the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission recommended approval of the site in late 2014.
The group represented about 35 per cent of the residents within 1,000 feet of the site. State law says if more than 20 per cent sign a protect petition, the conditional use permit for the site must pass the county commission unanimously.
members of the Villages board, however,
obtained an opinion from the Kansas
attorney general's office which stated that
the judge had failed to approve for
approval of a conditional use permit.
Two of Douglas County's three commissioners voted to grant the permit. Commissioner I. J. Stoneback voted against it
Stoneback said he opposed the permit because of the protest petition.
The Villages board won planning commission approval last February for a site to build a new library, which she discussed. The site was donated by Charles Oldfather, former University attorney. When it was considered by the county commissioners, however, it met the same conditions.
Oldfather then offered to trade his land
along 4 acres, being considered and
offered by the Willingham.
Stephen Rhudy, attorney for the Pleasant Valley residents who filed the protest petition, said the residents opposed the building of the homes in their area because the homes would change the character of their community.
He said they thought the type of child likely to live there and the density of the dwellings' occupancy weren't what was planned for the area when it was zoned.
Rundy said the residents had also opposed the building of the homes because of the possibility that the sewage lagoon planned for the site would pollute their property.
Another reason was that the city didn't support or police or fire protection to areas under construction.
Burr said two dwellings were being planned to house 19 children between the ages of 8 and 18, although more might be added later.
He said the main advantage of the site to the Villages was that the land had been
Other advantages of the site, according to Villages supporters, are the beauty of the land, the room and privacy it offers, the ability to work from home on there and the proximity to the city.
Burr said the Villages board was trying to find a temporary site where the children could be housed until a permanent one was found. The court could have been successful in its suit, it would either appeal the case to the Kansas Supreme Court or abandon the site.

Flight aid more than fair weather friend
Students at the flight research lab at the University of Kansas are testing a new automatic aircraft control system that will better control the actual right order when flying in bad weather.

precision in flight and allowed the pilot more control when flying in unfavorable weather.
Gerald Jenkins, manager of the flight research lab, said that the NASA-sponsored testing was called Separate Surface Stability Augmentation (SSA), and was intended to support conclusions drawn by research on the same type of control system.
The system is also designed to be inexpensive as that it may be used in small environments.
The system was completely designed and built by students at the flight lab during the summer of 2014.
Jon Rakam, professor of aerospace engineering and SSSA project director, said the flight control system had been installed in the aircraft which was manufactured by Beech Aircraft Corp.
"You can tailor the system to any flight
condition," Roskam said. "The plane handles perfectly."
Roksaam ran the new system had cut down on feedback that a pilot received from the controls and so improved a pilot's ability to fly the plane.
Airplane controls now in use are cable driven, Roskam said. This means the control stick or pedals are connected to the flaps by cables. When turbulence hits the flaps, the pilot gets feedback through the cables and must fight the controls.
The new system divides the controls into large and small components. The larger controls control the main motors.
total, are cable driven and completely in the pilot's control.
But, Roksmak said, the small controls have "electromechanical actuators," which produce an effect similar to power steering in a car.
The test flying should be completed in March and the final reports on the project are tentatively scheduled for completion at the end of April. Jenks said.
If the project is successful, information about the system will be made available to the public and the general aviation system for commercial aviation, Jenkins said.
