Cornell Mayfield, HCCI Counselor, appeared before the City Commission regarding to a funding request from Housing and Credit Counseling, Inc. for $13,109.00

James Dunn, representing Landlords of Lawrence, said his association has voted to request the City fund this proposal by HCCI.  He said HCCI is helpful in addressing landlord and tenant issues.

Bruce Plenk, Lawrence, spoke in support of HCCI’s request.  He said he represents tenants in his practice and deals with a lot of landlord/tenant issues day to day.  HCCI was an invaluable resource for Lawrence and provides by far the most professional and, often times, the only free information that tenants are able to acquire.  Often, landlords have a regular attorney that they can turn to, to get information concerning changes in law.  He said there is no similar service provided anywhere other than through HCCI.  Sometimes the Legal Aid Office at K.U. is willing to help tenants.  He suggested the City Commission provide HCCI with the funding they need now and into the future.

Commissioner Rundle supported the funding request.  He said he was open for additional input for criteria in making these types of decisions.  He listed his criteria which include: does this fill a gap in City services; does the request meet a City Commission or community goal; does this funding provide for a need in the community that is otherwise unmet; and, would it help leverage outside funds.

Commissioner Rundle said the need to fill a gap in City Services was established when the City invited HCCI to come to town.  At that time the City believed there was a need that wasn’t being met.   The testimony from Plenk was mirrored in the comments from Legal Aid who say they often refer people to HCCI unless it dealt with litigation.  HCCI’s service is available without regard to student status.  He said this service meets a goal because they have Fair Housing goals in the community.   The service also facilitates resolutions for disputes before they get into court and thus saves the City resources.  A contribution from the City along with the United Way and other sources of funding would leverage funds.  He said it was clear to him that this service merits the City Commission’s support.

Commissioner Dunfield said in terms of meeting a goal of the City Commission, the fact that this Commission has been concerned about neighborhood issues and particularly rental issues in our neighborhoods demonstrates a goal of the City Commission.  He said HCCI could help the City in meeting the needs brought about by the situations with rental housing within our neighborhoods.  He said the Commission has become actively involved in these issues and thought HCCI can help with these issues.

Commissioner Henry said the Commission has discussed this issue two or three times in the past and he felt better because he had heard from the landlords of Lawrence and other testimony that indicates this is an organization that is performing a needed service.  He supported funding HCCI.     

Mayor Hack concurred.  She said the Commission appreciated HCCI’s persistence as well as their patience with the City and concurred with Rundle’s comments on his criteria.

            Moved by Dunfield, seconded by Hack, to approve a funding request by Housing and Credit Counseling, Inc for $13,109.  Motion carried unanimously.                                                (17) 

Clay Comfort, Lawrence Habitat for Humanity Board President, presented the request from Lawrence Habitat for Humanity to amend an agreement providing for the construction of affordable housing on Atherton Court and to allow for the construction of houses with only a one-car garage.  He said Lawrence Habitat has partnered successfully with the City since 1989.  The Atherton Court Agreement, which is the subject of their letter between Lawrence Habitat, Tenants to Homeowners and the City, had a requirement “indicating two car garages.”  The City developed the infrastructure for those lots in Habitat Neighborhood Addition No. 4 using Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding and Habitat used HUD funding in the purchase of those lots.  Lawrence Habitat is presently working on their seventh house in that group of ten houses that they were to complete by the end of August to meet their requirement to HUD.  He said they would have four lots remaining after that requirement is complete.  As a result of an informal understanding between Habitat members and City Officials, Habitat originally began building with one-car garages as did Tenant to Homeowners.  Lawrence Habitat is presently working on their seventh house in that neighborhood.  He said they have underway two houses with a two-car garage requirement and had submitted a permit request for a third house with a two car garage requirement to meet with the City’s desires.  It was estimated by various other people, that adding a second car garage, adds approximately $2,500 to the cost of their houses.  As a result of recommendations by several committees concerned, the Habitat Board submitted a letter to the City Commission requesting a modification to that requirement which would allow them to build single car garages, but maintaining a two car driveway.          

Commissioner Rundle said when he took a tour out in this area there was one garage that was converted to living space.  He asked how frequently that happened.

Comfort said that it did not happen frequently, but it did occur periodically.  He said the first house that Lawrence Habitat built with the City’s help had a one-car garage made into a living space in accordance with a building permit and code shortly after it was completed.  Those requests continue to come in.

Commissioner Henry said as he traveled around this area, he said it appeared there was a mix of one and two car garages and a two-car garage door with a one-stall garage.

Comfort said that was a way of meeting the requirement indicating a two car garage, but accommodating some needs for that space elsewhere inside.    

Commissioner Rundle asked staff if two car garages were required by code.

Wildgen said no.

Commissioner Dunfield said he wanted to provide more background information on this issue because he had some responsibility for this informal agreement that Comfort mentioned.  A number of architects were invited by the Tenants to Homeowners Board to talk about this upcoming Atherton Court development and to generate some ideas for the houses that might be built there.  He said among the thoughts the architects had was the notion that when trying to build an affordable house with a 1,000 square feet of living space in it spending extra money for a two-car garage seemed out of balance, both in terms of the relative space being taken up by automobiles versus living space and also in terms of appearance of the houses on the street.  The feeling was that the street became dominated by garages rather than signs of life.  He said it was in that context that they went to City staff to discuss this issue and believed at that time that they had an agreement that a one-car garage would be an acceptable alternative for this development.  He said they did not follow up on this issue in writing and didn’t take the appropriate steps to make sure that this agreement was understood by everyone involved.  The result was they have had a number of houses built under an agreement which was made with City Officials who were no longer active and which is in contradiction with the actual written agreement under which these houses are being built.  He said this was an attempt to try to clarify and perhaps correct that failure to follow through on this issue in the first place.

Moved by Henry, seconded by Rundle, to approve a request from Lawrence Habitat for Humanity to amend an agreement providing for the construction of affordable housing on Atherton Court, to allow for the construction of houses with only a one-car garage.  Motion carried unanimously.                                                                                                                   (18)

Mayor Hack called a public hearing on the proposed benefit district for the construction of Congressional Drive from 6^th Street to Overland Drive.

David Corliss, Assistant City Manager/Legal Services Director, presented information and a map of the proposed benefit district for the construction of Congressional Drive from 6^th Street to Overland Drive extended to the north. 

Chuck Soules, Public Works Director, said the published estimate for this project was $670,000.  After staff’s review of the estimate, in order to be conservative, he requested the City Commission allow the project estimate to increase to $800,000.

Upon receiving no public comment, it was moved by Rundle, seconded by Dunfield, to close the public hearing.  Motion carried unanimously.                                                       

Moved by Rundle, seconded by Henry, to approve staff’s recommendation to increase the estimate to $800,000; approve the proposed benefit district for the construction of Congressional Drive from 6^th Street to Overland Drive; and, direct staff to prepare the appropriate Resolution.  Motion carried unanimously.                                                                                   (19) 

Mayor Hack presented a letter written to Bob Johnson, Chair, and Douglas County Commission concerning the South Lawrence Trafficway.  She asked for public comment.

After receiving no public comment, Commissioner Dunfield, who drafted the letter, explained its purpose.  He said when the Commission discussed this issue last week, he was uncomfortable about giving an indication that the Commission was taking a position on a particular alignment of the SLT.  He said he thought the City’s position should be one that makes it clear what they think the City’s interest are in the SLT matter, regardless of specific questions of alignments and other questions. 

Mayor Hack said Commissioner Dunfield had made it clear in his letter to Bob Johnson in the sentence that read “the city does indeed want to have a voice in the questions of interchanges and other aspects of the SLT, on any route, as those aspects affect city interest.”  She said Dunfield enumerated what those interests were.  She said she received a phone call from the Wakarusa Township to make sure they were not left out of the loop.  She asked staff to e-mail a copy of the letter to Steve Sublett, Wakarusa Township Clerk.

                The City Commission concurred to approve the draft letter to Bob Johnson, Douglas County Commissioner, expressing the City's interests in safety, good traffic flow, and protection of the livability of City neighborhoods, as they relate to the questions of South Lawrence Trafficway interchanges and other aspects of the SLT.                                                         (20)

David Corliss, Assistant City Manager/Legal Services Director, presented the staff report and KDOT letter concerning proposed improvements along 31^st Street.  He addressed three issues: 1) a mid-block traffic between Iowa and Ousdahl; 2) KDOT’s requirement for a median west of 31^st & Iowa; and 3) to consider a benefit district to construct a traffic signal at 31^st & Neider.

As for the mid-block traffic signal, he said staff has worked with Home Depot, the Post Office, and Malan Realty (K-mart site) to locate the planned mid-block traffic signal on 31^st Street to a location, which can be shared with both the Post Office and Malan.  As originally planned the traffic signal only provided an entrance into the Post Office site; City staff believes this was short-sighted and that the Malan and Post Office tracts should have access to a traffic signal.  He said this followed staff’s general recommendation that commercial traffic should access a busy arterial street at traffic signals whenever possible.

Commissioner Rundle asked how far west would the signal be moved.

Corliss said approximately fifty feet.

As for the median, Corliss said KDOT indicated in a letter to Terese Gorman that a median should be built further west on 31^st Street from Iowa.  This median would prohibit full turning access from the Douglas County Bank location.  Corliss said on the west side of Iowa KDOT has agreed to provide reimbursement for $300,000 worth of improvements at the intersection of 31^st and Iowa.  He said one of the requirements of KDOT’s design was for the extension of the median from where it is currently constructed further to the west.  He said KDOT has concerns about traffic backing up trying to make a left turn access into Douglas County Bank on the south side of 31^st Street.  He said the City has been in discussions with representatives from Douglas County Bank in regards to these concerns.  

Corliss said the last item for improvements was to recommend to the City Commission to conduct a hearing to consider establishing a benefit district for geometric improvements and a traffic signal at 31^st and Neider.   He said as far as 2002 traffic signal priorities, 31^st and Neider was ranking a top priority along with 7^th and Kentucky, and 15^th and Engel Road. 

He presented a map of the proposed benefit district to the City Commission which generally included all properties on the west side of Iowa between 31^st and 33^rd Streets and also included Aldi’s and the Goodwill store on the north side of 31^st Street.  He said this would be considered a separate project and staff thought this benefit district should not include City participation.

Commissioner Dunfield asked Corliss to remind him of the relationship between the City and the developer on the actual construction of the improvements related to the Home Depot project.

Corliss said the contract that was executed with Home Depot provides that after the City approves the plans, Home Depot will privately bid the project.  He said the City will then be informed of the lowest bidder and the bid will be reviewed.  He said the City‘ contract for these road improvements is with Home Depot Inc. and they will have the legal obligation to build those improvements.  He said they were not suggesting that the City slow the process down, but if the Home Depot has a good subcontractor, they’re going to pick a subcontractor that does build roads.  If they have a good subcontractor, the City might want to negotiate a price with them to do the improvements.  He said they might decide to go ahead and publicly bid the project. 

Jim Turrentine, Lawrence, said he has observed what staff has done with respect to this project and thought staff had made quantum leaps in these improvements.  He said one thing that he would like to request was to have staff prepare an integrated comprehensive coordinated plan for 31^st Street.  All these improvements on 31^st Street need to work together.  He urged the City to have a plan for 31^st Street completed by the Planning Department staff that would encompass a half-mile on either side of Iowa. 

Pat Slabaugh, Executive Vice President of Douglas County Bank, said they are certainly not opposed to the project.  He said seven years ago they made a significant investment at 31^st and Iowa.  He said they knew that when they built their bank there was a chance for this to happen.  He said they were opposed to the median, but understood the City’s and KDOT’s positions.  He said they had suggested if the median went through that you not put the median in until the signalization was completed.  He said it appears the City was going to do this and they would lose their entrance on 31^st Street to people coming from the east, trying to make a left hand turn. 

Slabaugh said there was a signage problem and would like this issue to be addressed.  He said he realized this was not the forum to address this, but he wanted to go on record that they will probably request a variance for some signage issues that they felt were a concern as far as traffic flow into and out of the facility. 

Slabaugh said he originally had a concern about the proposed benefit district, but Corliss gave him information concerning it. 

He said they still agree to allow a right hand turn lane from 31^st Street going south onto Iowa. 

Todd Thompson, Lawrence, spoke regarding the benefit district on the west side of the street.  He said the Commission needs to instruct staff that the need for this light and the resulting benefit district is because of the huge amount of pass-through traffic.  The need for this light isn’t being created by Douglas County Bank or many of the other properties in the area.  The City needed to participate in the expense of this improvement.  He said he thought it was bad precedent to continue to suggest that the adjoining property owners are the cause of the need for the light.  He said it was clear that 31^st Street has become a major thoroughfare in our community whether it was intended to or not.  He said because it was serving the community at large, the community at large needs to pickup a substantial piece of this particular improvement.  It was not right to bill Douglas County Bank for losing their access, for having a median, and making it harder for people to get into their property.                              

Commissioner Rundle asked whether the method of assessment would be in the Resolution setting the public hearing date.

Corliss said it would include the method of assessment, the proposed benefit district and the portion of cost between the benefit district and the City.

Commissioner Rundle asked if it was possible to get data on traffic that is using the site as opposed to passing through.

Wildgen said yes.  The biggest issue is the left turn out and left turn in.  He said staff could try to get traffic counts before the hearing.

Corliss said it may be difficult to do an origin/destination study, but he thought staff could do traffic counts.

Mayor Hack said there are two issues here.  The first issue was the recommendation on the east side and the second issue was the public hearing.  She said Corliss has worked extremely hard with people on access and signalization issues.

            Moved by Rundle, seconded by Dunfield, to direct staff to prepare a resolution setting a public hearing date to consider the advisability of establishing a benefit district to construct a traffic signal and related intersection improvements at 31st & Neider.  Motion carried unanimously.                                                                                                                                        (21)

Mayor Hack called a public hearing on the proposed vacation of a utility easement across Lots 25 – 28, Block 2, DeVel Addition No. 3.

Chuck Soules, Public Works Director, said the easement was requested for drainage.  During a recent property transaction, the buyer asked the seller, if there were any improvements within this easement.  The seller was not sure.  After checking, there are no utilities and there is no future need for the easement.  He said staff had no objections to the request.

Upon receiving no public comment, it was moved by Rundle, seconded by Dunfield, to close the public hearing.  Motion carried unanimously.                                                      

Moved by Rundle, seconded by Henry, to approve the proposed vacation of a utility easement across Lots 25 – 28, Block 2, DeVel Addition No. 3.  Motion carried unanimously.  (22)

During public comment, Donnell Turner, Lawrence, asked for clarification concerning the Uniform Housing Code regarding requirements governing windows and emergency egress.  

Mayor Hack said the City received questions concerning older homes.  She said this Ordinance omits older homes from compliance unless there was a safety issue.

Commissioner Dunfield said the amendment that was passed applies to existing houses basically exempting existing houses from the strict requirement for an egress window according to the current housing code.  If the house was legally built and occupied then it can continue to be occupied without changes to those windows as long as there is no life/safety issue involved.  New construction and renovations do have to conform to the Housing Code for egress windows.

Turner suggested that he will talk to Victor Torres, Neighborhood Resources Director, concerning his living situation and funding available for homeless people.

Mayor Hack said the Commission’s primary concern was the safety issue and thought talking to Torres would be a good place to start.

Chris Miller, Attorney, appeared on behalf of a group of citizens, the Citizens Rights Committee, and presented notice of claim letters under the Tort Claims Act.  He said  normally these claim letters would be mailed, but the committee asked him to bring them down and talk to the Commission about what they were doing.  He said they have formed a committee to challenge some Ordinances that were passed by the City concerning rental registration, licensing, and inspections.  He said oddly enough he is there representing a group of tenants and a group of providers.  The reason why they asked him to come and talk to the Commission is because they would like to see this issue revisited rather than be forced to go to court to have a determination made with regard to the validity of what is occurring.  

Moved by Rundle, seconded by Henry, to adjourn at 8:20 p.m.  Motion carried unanimously.
