The report asked for a 3 percent increase in resident and commercial charges for trash pickup. Residents now pay $8.70 a month, but under the proposed increase, they will pay $8.96. Commercial rates will increase from $12.54 monthly to $12.92.
Commission rezones land to allow for more housing
By TracI Carl Kansan staff writer
Rate increases were based on an inflation rate of 3 percent, a general wage adjustment of 3 percent for all city employees. In January, the city changed the trash pickup system from twice a week to once a week, with separate collection of grass clippings and leaves for composting. That saves about $140,000 in landfill disposal costs a year.
More apartments would act as buffer from U.S. 40 traffic
City Commissioners voted to rezone an area on the outskirts of town to allow almost twice the number of housing units an acre.
The commission decided to rezone land southwest of Sixth Street and east of Wakarusa Drive to allow up to 22 apartments an acre and the construction of office buildings. The previous zoning had allowed only 12 duplexes to be built on the land.
Commissioner Bob Moody said he opposed the increase because he thought the recent change from trash pickup twice a week to trash pickup once a week, with a separate day for compost pickup, was inconvenient.
Tim Fritzel, president of Fritzel Construction, said that he did not know if 22 apartments would be built on each acre, but that he wanted the flexibility to be able to choose a higher concentration of apartments.
The increased number of apartments also would buffer homes and
the surrounding area from the traffic on U.S. Highway 40.
Westgate Properties, which Fritzel represented at the meeting, purchased the land two years ago based on the fact that Plan 95, the city's comprehensive planning guide, said the land should have a high concentration of homes, such as apartments, Fritzel said.
"we relied on that statement when we bought that property," he said.
"This is an important entrance to the city," he said. "The decisions we make here are long-term decisions that affect the way people first see our city."
Mayor John Nalbandian, who was the only commissioner to vote against the rezoning, said he was worried about the increased amount of traffic more apartments would bring to the area.
But Commissioner Jo Andersen said she thought the added benefits such as free tire pickup and household waste disposal made up for the once-a-week pickup.
In other business, the commission received a staff report on sanitation and approved it on first reading. The commission will have to read it and approve it again at a later meeting.
