Plans continue on bus depot move
By DOUG CUNNINGHAM Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission last week allowed planning to continue on a proposal to move the city's bus depot from its present location at 638 Madison streets St. to a site at the Baltimore corner of Sixth and Michigan streets.
The decision followed a lengthy discussion about the city's "existing list of record" ordinance. The proposed site was planned for 1984, and it not been an existing list of记录.
An existing lot of record is one that was on file with the Register of Deeds Office as a separate piece of land before January 23, 1973, the date an amendment to city ordinances went into effect, said Price Banks, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Office.
To be an existing lot of record, the lot also could not have, in 1973, any underdeveloped land next to it that was owned by the same person, Banks said.
THE COMMISSION three weeks ago approved a site plan for the bus depot, which meant that plans to move the depot could proceed.
The commission then received a letter from the Old West Lawrence Association that said the site plan had been approved and that what the approval should be rescinded.
The neighborhood association contended that the lot was not listed separately in official records until 1978, therefore was not an existing lot of record.
Dennis Constance, 817 Tennessee St., representing the neighborhood association, said at last week's meeting the group will be considered an existing list of record.
Mayor Marc Francisco said recently that one reason the site plan had been approved was that the lot was then thought to be an existing list of record.
The commission accepted the staff report that said the lot was first listed separately in 1939, and therefore met the requirements of the ordinance.
Commissioner Nancy Shortz asked that the ordinance be reworded to be more consistent.
Banks said he thought it would not be difficult to do that if the commission wished.
The commission also discussed the proper height for curbs on city streets. Duane Schwada, representing the Mastercraft Corporation, 1927 Moodie Rink, 805 East 6th Street, two weeks ago to accept a final plat of 10 acres on 22nd Street Court.
A FINAL plat outlines access to the land and shows when he lets the mob move.
The commission two weeks ago deferred action on the plat because if the plat had been accepted, the street right-of-way, including the street and curbs that had already been privately built. would also have been accepted.
The street has four-inch curbs, known as roll-back curbs, which can be driven
City Manager Buford Watson said that those curbs were not standard according to city regulations.
Shontz said the four-inch curbs should not have been put in without prior commission approval.
THE COMMISSION, however, last week accepted the plat, which means the curbs will not have to be replaced because the curbs found in other parts of the city.
The commission also approved, on emergency passage, an ordinance that will allow taxicabs in the city to charge a flat rate without using a meter.
City ordinances presently state that all taxicabs must have meters.
The commission also heard a report from Watson that it will not have to advertise for bids to remove the train from the train in Cental Park.
The city decided several weeks ago to remove the insulation, which contains a small amount of asbestos; because then had been pulling it out of the train.
HOWEVER, PLANS to have city workers remove it were shelved after the city discovered that removing it might be too hazardous.
But Watson said last week that Fire Chief Jim McWain had investigated the site and had determined that city firefighters could remove the insulation using special hazardous-material suits the fire department recently acquired. In other business, the commission authorized the expenditure of up to $5,000 of Community Development money to provide kits for low- and moderate-income people to weatherize their homes.

Cars should be ready for cold
Although November temperatures have been unseasonably mild, car owners should not neglect preparing cars for the cold winter months ahead.
By DONNA KELLER
Staff Reporter
Engines are harder to start in cold weather, snow and sleet reduce visibility, and slippery roads interfere with normal tire grip.
Jim Warren, owner of Straight Arrow Auto Service, 920 E. 28th St., said there were several parts of a car the owner could get to fix. The firm works for the freezing temperatures ahead.
"The main thing is to check the antirefire," Warren said.
IT SHOULD be clean, and the concentration should be from 50 to 60 percent to protect the radiator from
temperatures to 34 degrees below zero,
he said.
An insufficient amount of antifreeze can cause permanent and expensive damage to the engine, such as a crack in the engine block.
The owner should test the battery for its charging strength and make sure the terminals are clean, he said. The owner should be sure the lights and windshield wipers were working properly, Warren said.
He said the automatic transmission fluid level should be checked four times a year. The fluid should be changed yearly, he said.
Car owners should also check exhaust systems for holes in the muffler.
A car's oil and oil filter should be changed every 2,000 to 3,000 miles, and the car should b lubricated, he said.
CARBON MONOXIDE fumes can come up through the floorboard and get trapped inside a car when the windows are rolled up, Warren said.
Daryl Dwyer, owner of D and D Tire,
1000 Vermont St., said car owners
should do seasonal preventive maintenance.
Warren said snow tires were more convenient than tire chains, but that either one would help drivers get around on slippery roads.
Dwyer said all of a car's belts and hoses should be checked for wear, and replaced if necessary.
Car owners may want to have these checks by a professional mechanic.
"If you don't have snow tires, you'd better think about it," he said.
WELL WHAT DO YA KNOW? THERE THEY GO. MOODY'S COPIED US AGAIN.
WE REST OUR CASE . . .
. . END OF DISCUSSION
"Most people aren't able to do everything themselves," he said. "But you know whether your car is in good shape or not."
