City again to take up issue of Colony Woods parking
By VALOREE ARMSTRONG Staff writer
After putting the issue on hold for three weeks, the Lawrence City Commission tonight will again consider a plan for the already-completed parking lot addition to Colony Woods apartments, 1301 W. 24th St.
The commission will look at the chronology of discussions between Colony Woods and city officials that led to the unapproved construction of 94 spaces along the south and east sides of the property. The commission headed at its Sept. 15 meeting to discuss the matter, and until it could review the discussions.
Commissioners also will discuss the effects the additional spaces would have on the Naismith drainage ditch.
The commission also is expected to:
■ consider a request by Oread Entertainment Group to grant a six-month extension on the sale of $3.5 million worth of industrial revenue bonds. The money is to buy land and equipment and to pay for the University Corporate Research Park, 15th Street and Wakarusa Drive.
■ consider an ordinance lowering the speed limit to 20 miles an hour along University Drive to Crestline Drive, starting east of Crestline.
- review bids for two traffic signals to be installed at 14th and Kentucky streets and 14th and Tennessee streets
consider bids for demolition per mits for 1312 and 1338 Ohio St.
consider a report from the Downtown Improvement Committee on its recommendation for a downtown development consultant. The consultant would advise the city on all phases of development of a downtown project.
■ consider an ordinance pledging the proceeds of a county-wide, 1-cent sales tax to specific purposes.
consider a site plan for a Wendy's Restaurant at Sixth Street and Kasold Drive, the former site of Webster's Mobile Home Sales.

The uncle was arrested and charged with seven counts of first-degree murder yesterday afternoon, and was being held without bond, Prosecuting Attorney Donald Cheever said.
James E. Schnick, 36, of rural Eikland, Mo, was charged with murder in the Sept. 25 killings of his wife, Karen, and the brother's wife and four children.
Schnick had called authorities to say that he needed help, and officials who went to his rural home found him wounded and his wife and Kirk dead. Schnick had suffered abdominal wounds, but the Schnicks' two children were not harmed.
MARSHFIELD, Mo. — The sole survivor of a shooting rampage that killed seven relatives was charged yesterday with murder in the slayings. The crime was originally blamed on a 14-year-old family member who was among the victims.
Webster County officials had said immediately after the deaths that Kirk Buckner had gone on a shooting rampage, killing his parents, three brothers and an aunt before dying in a struggle with Schnick.
"Charges have been filed, warrants have been issued, and he is in custody." Cheever said.
Survivor charged in killings
He declined further comment but scheduled a Tuesday morning news conference.

Schnick was released from the hospital last week and used crutches when Chief Deputy Don Roe escorted him into the courthouse yesterday afternoon. Wearing bib overalls and a T-shirt, Schnick showed no emotion.
The family members were buried in a joint service Sept. 28.
