City to review parking and PUD
Staff Writer
By JOHN MUELLER
City commissioners will act tonight on parking for two University of Kansas Planned Unit Development (PUD) region for residents of the city's Alvamar area.
The parking action will center on commissioners' earlier approval of an ordinance to remove 24 parking spaces from Phi Delta Theta and Phi Delta Delta fraternity members have parked in the past. Tighten's meeting will have the second reading of the ordinance and is the result of a committee of commissioners will have to argue their case.
The fraternity members have said the city never told them of its decision to go back on an earlier promise to give them 30 parking spaces on Louisiana Street as compensation for the Edgehill Road removal.
COMMISSIONERS have agreed that fraternity members weren't notified of the Louisiana Street change, but they also have a responsibility to provide stability to provide parking for fraternites.
Firemen urged the Edgehill Road restrictions, saying that they wouldn't be able to fit one of their large trucks into the area of the Edgehill curb should a fire break out.
In other business, commissioners will decide whether to grant developers of the city's Alvamar area a PUD revision that would allow them to build 14 single-family
dwellings by the Alvamar golf course,
15th and 23rd streets, west of Kirkwood Drive.
Commissioners voted 3-2 at their last meeting to allow the revision. However, opponents of the revision, led by Sam Dixon, 2002 Camellback Drive, have collected protest signatures from Alvaram residents in a population 40 per cent of the PUD area population.
LAWRENCE'S PUD ORDinance provides that PUD revisions protested by 40 per cent of a unit's residents must be ratified 4-1 by commissioners. Commissioners will have to reconsider the issue and also decide the validity of Dixon's protest petitions.
Mike Wildgen, assistant city manager, said yesterday that city officials would have a report ready by tonight that would rule on the petitions' validity. Some people who signed petitions last week did so by notorized telegram, he said, so the city attorney and the signers had the power of attorney to represent the people for whom they signed.
ANOTHER ISSUE in the Alvamar revision is one of credibility. Dixon said Sunday that Alvamar, Inc., the area's developer, had "committed a small-scale Watergate" by promising prospective homeowners in Alvamar that they would have an unobstructed view of the golf course.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, which unanimously recommended the PUD revision, has said the governor's residence in Avanmar residents' view of the golf course.
Potential of single women to be discussed Saturday
The one-day workshop at the resource center, Amex A, 13th street and Oread Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. (Phone: 212-589-6470.)
From 9 a.m. to noon, discussion will focus on the emotional challenges faced by single women. In the afternoon session, from 1:30 to 1:40, speakers will discuss rape victim support and then the law, money management and the educational opportunities for single women.
"Woman Alone," a workshop dealing with single women in society, will be sponsored Saturday by the Adult Life Resource Center of the Division of Continuing Education.
Elizabeth Babocb, workshop leader, said yesterday that one purpose of the workshop was to get the single woman—whether she is divorced, widowed, separated or unmarried—to see herself as a full and independent person.
The structure of pairs for people in society can be traumatic to the single woman.
Many women are choosing the single life
"The whole woman sees her relationship with a man as an addition to her life, not as a threat to her identity."
to express their freedom and autonomy, she said.
The workshop costs $20 and is open to everyone.
Interested persons should contact Babcock at the resource center.
A past development brochure for prospective Alvamar homeowners, published by McGrew Real Estate and Insurance, Inc., Lawrence, says that each Alvamar宅 house "will have a magnificent vista: . . . from any direction, the beautiful fairways, manicured greens, and sparkling lakes of Alvamar Hills Golf Course."
JOhn MCGREW, whose firm published the brochure, said Sunday that it didn't constitute promise to Alvamar residents of an unobstructed view.
"That brochure was made 10 years ago and depicts a very large area." McGrew said of the image.
McGrew also said he doubted whether Alvaram residents really adopted the PUD revision, because "three or four people may have made this their cause. In the long run, the residents may think they've made a terrible mistake."
A survey of Alvamar residents taken by Dixon last summer indicated that 54 per cent of the residents opposed making any changes to the building favored building single-family houses.
COMMISSIONERS also will consider an ordinance authorizing the city to buy property and construct buildings for leasing to Packer Plastics, a factory in northwest Lawrence that wants to expand its warehouse space. The ordinance would issue to issuers $75,000 in industrial revenue bonds to finance Packer's expansion.
Two agenda items concern rezoning law by Kasold Drive from an RS-1 to an RS-2 classification. The changes affect 145 acres north of 31st Street and east of Kasold Drive, and 29 acres at the northwest corner of Kasold Drive and Trail Road.
WLDGEN SAID the change to RS-2 zoning would keep the affected areas residentially zoned, but would allow a greater population density in the area.
Commissioners will consider a site plan for Carpet World, 2851 Iowa St., and will use on a site for a motorcycle agency by the late 1970s its items center on recommendations from the Traffic Safety Commission to deny traffic control at 15th Street and Kasdol Drive, and to reduce parts of 17th and 18th streets between Alabama and Louisiana streets.
