Planning commission to suggest federal funds
By DOUG CUNNINGHAM Staff Reporter
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission decided last night to recommend to the city and county commissions that they apply for $30,000 of federal government money to be used for transportation planning.
The planning commission, as the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for Lawrence and Douglas County, had to take action last night to establish a program that would save the money would be used. The planning commission decided that writing a
letter to the city and county commissions would be appropriate action.
The $30,000 is to be used to develop a transportation improvement plan. The federal government is expected to routinely grant the $30,000, said Dean Landen, a systems planner with the Kansas planning department.
The $30,000, which will be applied for as two separate grants of $15,000 each, must be matched on an 80 percent basis by local money he said. That means that local governments will bear the cost of developing the plan.
"This is a multi-year program of
projects which would include highways as well as transit," he said.
The $30,000 is to be used only for planning. Landen said, and cannot be used for the actual construction or design of any highway or transportation system. Landen should consider all types of transportation within the county, he said.
Planning Commissioner Dean Harvey said the city and county must maintain control of the money in order to get the best program.
"I'm wondering if the state and federal government provide the funds, who sets the policy?" he said.
Landen said the decision making
power would still largely remain with the local units of government.
In other action, the planning commission decided to consider the possible downzoning of about 500 lots in East Florida at its regular Sept. 22 meeting.
If the lots were downzoned from a multiple-family rating to a single-family rating, only single-family dwellings could be built on those lots.
The city commission decided to initiate the downzoning of the lots at its night meeting. The planning commission commissioned downzoning, and it will then make a
recommendation to the city commission.
If the city commission does not agree with the planning commission's recommendation, the matter is sent back to the planning commission for further study. The city commission has the final say on the downzoning
The planning commission also will consider at its Sept. 22 meeting the creation of a new zoning category of RM-2A, which would set dwelling space requirements between the RM-2 category and the RM-3 category.
The RM-2 category requires 2,000 square feet of space for each dwelling. The RM-3 category requires 3,000 square feet of space for each dwelling.
space for each dwelling unit and is a higher-density zoning, which generally means that more living units can be built on any particular lot.
The commission also was informed that the second round of developer interviews for the downtown development project will be Sept. 20. The city commission will conduct the interviews, which will be open to the public.
The city commission is expected to
properly cooper with the downtown
project after its completion.
Two members of the planning commission were on the committee that narrowed the original field of developers to three.
