Neighborhood boundaries are East Eleventh Street on the north, Nineteenth Street on the south, the A.T. & S.F. Railroad tracks on the west, and the city limits on the east. The composition of the neighborhood is predominantly low to middle income residents employed in skilled or semi-skilled occupations, according to residents' responses to staff surveys.l Age groups of residents are evenly distributed with predominant categories being 25-34 years and 18 years or under. Average household size is two to four individuals. Residents' responses to staff surveys indicate the majority of neighborhood residents have lived in Lawrence over ten years--most have lived in the neighborhood over five years. A majority plan to continue living in the neighborhood and cite the quiet peaceful setting, good neighbors and affordable housing that is removed from the city and university as reasons for living there. The neighborhood is not without problems, however. Survey responses identified a lack of convenient shopping and employment centers, a need for general maintenance and rehabilitation of the housing stock, street improvements and sidewalk construction, children playing in the streets, and a need for a public transportation system as some of the problems facing the neighborhood. Residents also fear that added industry and multiple-family residences will upset the quality of the neighborhood. Solutions to these complex and interrelating problems present a challenge for both neighborhood residents and city officials. Adoption of a comprehensive neighborhood plan is an initial step towards resolving these problems. Purpose and Context of the Plan The Far East Lawrence Neighborhood Plan is intended to provide the City Commission, Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, and Far East Lawrence Improvement Associcttion, neighborhood residents/property owners, and other concerned organizations and individuals with an official guide for future development of the neighborhood. The plan proposes an arrangement of land uses, circulation, and public facilities which will contribute to the health, safety, welfare, and convenience of the neighborhood, within the larger framework of the City of Lawrence. 1. Results of the neighborhood survey can be found in the Appendix. Vi �The plan identifies goals and policies, which will be used in conjunction with recommendations in the text, for guiding future development and change within the neighborhood. For the Planning Commission and City Commission, it will be used as an information base to govern decisions on development proposals in the neighborhood, as required by city codes and state statutes. The importance of formulating neighborhood plans is clearly advocated in the city comprehensive plan, Plan '95. ObjecLive 4 in Clictf.JLer 4, "Land Use Guide Plan" of Plan '95, sp8cifies "detailt:J neighborhood plans should be developed."l Also in Chapter 4, Policy 6 states that neighborhood plans should be used in conjunction with the Generalized Land Use Guide Map and policies of Plan '95.2 Plan '95 clearly recommends neighborhood plans and anticipates their providing a "sound foundation for revitalizing the older neighborhoods. "3 Preservation of neighborhoods and the neighborhood unit concept, as conceived by Clarence A. Perry, is also endorsed by Plan '95. Chapter 7, in Plan '95, recommends preserving and encouraging such neighborhood units by the evaluation and definition of neighborhood boundaries and upgrading transportation systems to avoid intrusions and negative impacts.4 Therefore, this plan defines neighborhood boundaries for Far East Lawrence and makes recommendations on classification of streets, as prescribed in Plan '95. Plan's Development Wide neighborhood participation was sought in the formulation of this plan. Residents and property owners of a neighborhood often see their needs from a different per~pective than professionals who do not live in the area. Therefore, to ensure that the final plan that was adopted reflected the viewpoints of residents. and property owners, the following steps were taken. 1. The planning staff at various times met with the Far East Lawrence Improvement Association members to determine the problems that needed to be addressed by the neighborhood plan. This information was used to develop an outline for the entire process. 2. A questionnaire was developed by the planning staff, neighborhood residents and property owners and approved by the Neighborhood Plan Committee of the Planning Commission. This questionnaire was delivered to every other residential unit by CETA employees from the Planning Office during the summer of 1979. 1.

Ibid, p. 7-ll. vii �3. Detailed information about existing conditions in the neighborhood was collected by the planning staff. Much of this information is found in Chapter 3. 4. Using the results of the neighborhood survey and the inventory of conditions, the planning staff developed an initial proposal for the plan that was published in December, 1980. S. The Neighborhood Plan Committee held one study session with the officers of the neighborhood association and met five times with residents of the neighborhood at their regular monthly meeting to review the staff proposals. At the final meeting, the neighborhood group endorsed the plan and a modified future land use guide map. 6. Based upon the outcome of the meetings, the staff prepared a preliminary plan for Far East Lawrence that was presented to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission at the May, 1981, meeting for public hearing and adoption. Format of the Plan The plan consists of four chapters. Chapter 1 is a brief summary of recent trends in the neighborhood and assumptions about the future. Chapter 2 presents goals and policies that will guide future decisions affecting the neighborhood. Chapter 3 describes existing conditions and recent trends in the plan area. Finally, Chapter 4 contains plans and recommendations pertaining to future land use and transportation. An Appendix contains results of the neighborhood opinion survey that was completed in the summer of 1979. viii �CHAPTER 1 ASSUMPTIONS AND TRENDS, ASSETS AND CONSTRAINTS A list of the facts about the neighborhood, as well as logical assumptions about future needs, forms the basis of this chapter. The majority of facts and conclusions were drawn from neighborhood information provided in opinion surveys completed during the summer of 1979. POPULATION A. The neighborhood's population is presently estimated to be 2,702. This estimate is based upon the number of dwelling units counted by the planning staff during the housing survey. The population estimate is also based on preliminary 1980 Census data on household size. The Census estimates 2.62 persons per household in the neighborhood. It is further based on the assumption that the average occupancy rate is 95% for apartments and 98% for single-family units.l B. The future population of the neighborhood can be anticipated to remain at present levels, with some slight increases. C. The present population consists of a large percentage of individuals 25-34 years of age. Over 44 percent of the respondents to the neighborhood surveys were 34 years of age or younger. Ten percent of the respondents were 65 years of age or older. D. Almost one-half of the respondents to the survey indicated they have more than two dependents in their household. According to the survey results, there were 222 children (ages 1-18) living at home with the respondents. E. Incomes of Far East Lawrence residents are about average for the City of Lawrence. About 42 percent of the respondent's household incomes were less than $10,000. Nearly 10 percent had incomes of $25,000 or more. F. The population of Far East Lawrence appears to be stable. Survey results indicate that 26 percent of the residents have lived in Lawrence over 25 years and 72 percent have lived in Lawrence over five years. Forty-one percent had lived at their present address over five years. Ninety percent of Far East Lawrence residents said they planned to live in the neighborhood at least another year. 1. Occupancy rates for apartments are based on information from a survey of apartment managers in the area and on staff observations made in May, 1979, for single-family houses. l - 1 �Conclusions The residents of Far East Lawrence represent a fairly even mix of age groups with average incomes. Approximately one-fourth of the residents have incomes less than $7,000. The majority of residents like living in the neighborhood. Most of the survey respondents have lived in the neighborhood more than one year and plan to stay there at least another year. HOUSING A. The majority of structures in Far East Lawrence are in sound or slightly deteriorated condition, according to the staff housing condition survey. The survey results revealed that 50 percent of the houses in the neighborhood exhibited some degree of deterioration, but only ll percent were extensively affected (major deterioration and dilapidated categories). Although a correlation between housing condition, ~ existing zoning, non-residential uses, and income cannot be substantiated at this time, there appears to be some coincidence of occurrance. In general, pockets of housing deterioration are more common near nonresidential uses. B. Overall, neighborhood residents rated their own housing conditions somewhat lower than the staff survey. Seventy-one percent rated their housing in good to excellent condition, while 23 percent rated theirs as fair. Six percent rated their housing in poor condition. C. Most neighborhood residents felt housing conditions in their immediate area were either stable or improving. Roughly 55 percent rated housing as stable in their immediate neighborhood. Twenty-eight percent felt the neighborhood was improving, but 17 percent thought housing conditions were deteriorating. This is comparable to ratings in the other target neighborhoods. Residents perceptions of stable or improving housing conditions for these neighborhoods follow: Pinckney, 83 percent; Oread, 60 percent; East Lawrence, 74 percent; North Lawrence, 88 percent; and Old West Lawrence, 90 percent. D. Rental payments, including utilities, are generally higher in Far East Lawrence than the other target neighborhoods. Forty-seven per·cent of the residents who rent property have monthly payments in excess of $200. Percentages of residents in the other neighborhoods with rental payments in excess of $200 were: Oread, 23 percent; East Lawrence, 22 percent; Old West Lawrence, 48 percent; and North Lawrence, 17 percent. E. Mortgage payments, including property taxes and insurance, are both higher and lower than those for the other neighborhoods. Forty-one percent of the residents, who are purchasing their homes, have mortgage payments over $200. Percentages of residents in the other neighborhoods with mortgage payments exceeding $200 were: Oread, 58 percent; East Lawrence, 36 percent; Old West Lawrence, 61 percent; and North Lawrence, 18 percent. l - 2 �F. Single-family dwellings are the predominant type of housing found in the neighborhood. It is anticipated that single-family dwellings will remain the most common form of housing for the neighborhood. Conclusions The neighborhood is primarily single-family in character. Housing conditions are generally sound to slightly deteriorated, however some pockets of major deterioration exist around the non-residential uses. In general, rental rates are higher, while mortgage payments are about the same as those for the other target neighborhoods. TRANSPORTATION A. Haskell Avenue will continue to act as a major north-south thoroughfare through the neighborhood. Daily traffic counts will continue to increase as the population of Lawrence increases. B. Thirteenth Street and Oak Hill Avenue serve the neighborhood as collector streets. They will continue to provide the primary access for the community to Mount Calvary and Oak Hill Cemeteries. C. Fifteenth and Nineteenth Streets will remain important east-west thoroughfares for the neighborhood. Fifteenth Street will remain the major access to Memorial Park Cemetery. D. Harper Street will continue to serve as a north-south connection between Fifteenth and Nineteenth Streets. Daily traffic counts will continue to increase as the population of the neighborhood increases. E. Rail traffic on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad spur line will increase during the planning period as the industrial districts south of the neighborhood are developed. F. Ninety-one percent of FEL residents own one or more cars. In spite of fuel shortages, private automobiles will remain the principle mode of transportation in the neighborhood. G. Fifty percent of the respondents to the survey said they owned a bicycle. cars and walking as the preferred mode of transportation. H. This plan anticipates that bicycling and walking will become increasingly important modes of transportation. As a result, there will be an increased demand for improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities. 1 - 3 Bicycles ranked third behind �I. Major travel problems mentioned in the FEL surveys were, in descending order: 1) children in streets; 2) careless drivers; 3) poor street conditions; 4) too much on-street parking; and, 5) animals running loose. PUBLIC FACILITIES A. The city maintenance facility and garage will continue to function in their present capacity and remain in their present location. B. Edgewood Park and the East Lawrence Center will remain as a multi-functional neighborhood park and recreation facility serving all age groups. C. Oak Hill and Memorial Park Cemeteries will continue to serve as the principle cemeteries for the Lawrence community. Some land expansion of Oak Hill Cemetery (primarily to the north or east) will be necessary in the future. D. East Heights Elementary School will contiriue to serve the neighborhood in its present capacity. Enrollment will generally remain at current levels through the planning period. Building facilities will remain in sound condition and not require expansion through the planning period. E. The Douglas County Humane Society will remain in their present location. viable through the planning period. 1 - 4 Their facilities will remain �I I I CHAPTER 2 STATEMENT OF GOALS AND POLICIES GENERAL GOALS A.

It can be used to evaluate recommendations in Chapter 4, or as a basis for alternative proposals. The information contains data that can also be compared with future informational surveys, should an update of the plan be undertaken, which would detect trends within the neighborhood. The neighborhood was divided into four planning areas for comparative purposes by the staff, after consulting with members of the Far East Lawrence Neighborhood Association. (See Figure 3-l .) Some information about existing conditions is presented by planning areas. Most of the information is the result of field surveys completed in the summer of 1979. HOUSING CONDITIONS In July, 1979, the exteriors of all residential structures (except those located primarily in a commercial structure, mobile homes and Edgewood Homes) were surveyed to determine condition. The survey methodology attempted to duplicate the one used in the Lawrence Area Neighborhood Analysis completed in 1972. This was done to facilitate comparison between the two housing surveys. In spite of similar methodologies, it should be noted that the rating of houses is to a large degree subjective. In addition, the two housing surveys were conducted by different planning staff personnel. Therefore, maps or data drawing comparisons from both sources may lack a degree of accuracy. Four categories of housing conditions were applied: sound, minor deterioration, major deterioration, and dilapidated. Each residential structure was rated based upon specific criteria assigned to the particular category. Each housing conditions category and their criteria are described more fully below. Sound Structures rated in sound condition provide a safe and adequate shelter for the residents. They contain no substantial structural defects and require only routine maintenance to preserve their status. Minor Deterioration (Rehabilitable) Structures in this category have developed a few minor defects as a result of inadequate maintenance. 3 - l �PLANNING AREA BOUNDARIES OAK HILL CEMETERY SCALE lN FEET OOUGLAS CO. HUMANE SOCIETY I I n FAR EAST LAWRENCE ................. NEIGHBORHOOD BOUNDARY �I I I I I I I I I I Criteria used to determine minor deterioration--Holes, open cracks, or missing materials of a limited degree in the foundation, wall or roof; shakey or unsafe porches or steps; broken or missing window frames and doorsills which are no longer rainproof; rotted, missing or broken gutters or downspouts; unsafe or makeshift chimneys; and, exposed wiring. Major Deterioration (Rehabilitable) A considerable number of serious defects have developed in structures rated in this category as a result of inadequate maintenance. Criteria used to determine major deterioration--Holes, open cracks, rotted or missing materials over a considerable area of the foundation, outside walls or roof; sagging of roof; extensive damage to structure by storm, flood or fire; and, inadequate conversion of structure to it's present use. Dilapidated Structures that have developed defects to a degree that probably make repairs no longer feasible were classified as dilapidated. Defects may have been the result of inadequate original construction or a prolonged lack of maintenance. After examination of the structure from the street right-of-way, it was classified into one of the above categories. The following letter grades were attached to the categories: A = Sound B = Minor Deterioration C = Major Deterioration D = Dilapidated Results of the survey of housing conditions are presented in Table 3-l. Approximately 89% of the residential structures are classified in either sound or slightly deteriorated condition. The remaining ll% are classified as either extensively deteriorated or in dilapidated condition. _Housing conditions for the neighborhood are comparable to those in Pinckney, Oread, and Old West Lawrence Neighborhoods. In Oread and Old West Lawrence, approximately 85% of the houses were rated either sound or slightly deteriorated and in Pinckney, the percentages were even higher. In all four cases, the number of dilapidated structures was one percent or less. 3 - 3 �Table 3-2 shows the total number of dwelling units, by type, in each planning area. By far, the majority of housing is single-family dwellings. Mobile homes and multiple-family dwellings represent about onethird of the total dwelling units in the neighborhood. Results of the housing conditions survey are presented in Figure 3-2. Housing conditions are shown as an average for all structures by the half-block. Averages were calculated by assigning each structure a numerical value corresponding to its condition, summing the numerical values of each structure in the half-block, and then dividing the total by the number of dwelling units in the half-block. Numerical values assigned to each structural condition were: one point for dilapidated; two points for major deterioration; three points for minor deterioration; and, four points for sound structures. Incidents of dilapidated or major deterioration occur in areas primarily west of Haskell Avenue and north of 15th Street. Figure 3-3 shows the number of tax delinquent properties by the block. Table 3-3 details the amount and distribution of these tax delinquent properties based upon their existing zoning classification. Most of the tax delinquent properties lie north of 15th Street and east of Haskell Avenue.

Only three pockets of multiple-family housing appear. They are Edgewood Homes on Haskell Avenue, a small area along Fifteenth Street between Prairie and Prospect Streets, and an area west of East Heights School. These areas are zoned for multiplefamily use. 3 - 5 �, --, . -·· ,_,.., ._/' {_. (''. t __ j -~ \/ '•' _i ~ ' .. . .. ( . 1: ........
