There are two types of easements: Natural A Easement, and Conservation Easements. The first controlled by a state agency, currently only thE Department of Wildlife and Parks.

The contract drawn up between the holders of the easement and the city may be constructed to preclude development of almost any kind at any time.

Mir..utes of previous meeting approved and available to member~:. 1. Elections President Kaplan announced that elections would be held to fill two (2) vacant positions, that of Vice-President due to death of Shelly Miller and Secretary due to resignation of Jim Dewey \vho is to become a paid coordinator. These elections will serve offices until General Elections at General Membership meeting in October 1994. Two candidates were nominated for Vice-President; Jim Powers and Mary Grey. The result of vote: 14 Powers, 2 Grey. Jim Powers will now serve as Vice-President. There were no nominations for Secretary: Jim McCrary vclunteered to fill position until elections in October. The vote was unanimous. 2. New York School Kaplan spoke to the need for someone to replace Shelly Miller as neighborhood liaison to New York School. "The schools �are the cornerstones of the neighborhood and now the School Board is threatening to delete three teaching positions in New York School. Someone needs to assume this job". 3. Eastern Parkway A position statement drafted by the Executive Board on April :~8 was brought before the general membership for approval. (See attached copy of statement) The history of relations between ELIA and City was explained by Kaplan and the lack of response to demands by ELIA. Kaplan felt that since anothe~~- organization in the community was leading opposition agains: the Parkway and that it seemed the project was "[lothb.:1lled" at this time, that this proposed statement was timely. After discussion of resolution it was proposed by Shelly Rothent.hal, Mark Kaplan, Jim Dewey that various changes be made. A motion was made by Jim Dewey to delete completely the last two (2) pa~agraphs and all but first sentence of third paragraph. Further it was moved that a statement be added saying to effect "... that ELIA and the city should work together to implement neighborhood protections for East Lawrence ... ". As part of the motion it was asked that volunteers stay after meeting to re-write the statement and submit to City Commission. The vote in favor of this motion was unanimous. 4. Executive Board . According to By-laws the Executive Board can have up to 15 members. At present it has 11, explained Kaplan. He announced that Mary Grey, ELIA LAN representative and Brenda Nunez, CDBG representative has expressed interest in becoming board members. It was felt that these representatives belonged on board in order that members could receive information more directly. A motion was made by Jim Dewey that both LAN and CDBG representatives serve �on Executive Board, The motion was seconded by Kaplan. was carried in a unanimous vote. ~ Motion Seeking non-profit 501(C)3 status for ELIA Kaplan presented to membership the concept that ELIA should become non-profit in order to become more professional, assist in fund raising activities and make it easier for Vista Volunte,~rs to work in East Lawrence. He called for discussion in order that Executive Board could study this possibility and submit application for non-profit status. Brenda Nunez pointed out that ELIA-.co·..lld possibil~~ lose CDBG status if too much money was collected. John Swift and Jim McCrary both expressed concerns tq,at non-profit status might be subject to too many guidelines from federal government. Bill Wachspress suggested that board should have or seek legal advice before making decision. Ann Peterson stated that it was the Executive Boards job to study things like this. Other members expressed desire that Board study possibility and report back to membership at July meeting. Berry Shilinsky made motion to authorize board to study non-profit status and report to membership. This motion was withdrawn. Marsha made a motion to authorize board to study 501(C)3 status and to implement application if they chose. Jim Dewey seconded. The vote was unanimous. &. CDBG/Clean up Brenda Nunez, ELIA CDBG representative, announced that this year was the last time the East Lawrence clean up day would be funded since the city has in place a program to pick up bulk trash at residences. The last two Saturdays in June were set as dates :18th and 25th of June). Two residents had comments and experiences with city in relations to clean up. Leroy Hatch said he called Park and Rec to ask about cleaning sidewalks on river bridge which were littered with .glass and trash. He said they woulcw'lanswer his questions. A �second resident said she called city to arrange bulk trash pickup at her residence. She said the city spokesman, "Slim", was vague about d'~tails and said basically that if it took one person more than 15 minutes to pick up trash it would cost $55.00 per hour. After St3eing her trash the city spokesman said she would indeed be charged the above rate. She cancelled the pick up and three days later was cited as being in violation of environmental laws. Jim Dewey asked that someone from ELIA contact the city in respDnse to these to complaints and see that clear directions are given to people about bulk trash pickup and cleaning the bridge. L Quarterly General Membership Meetings/Newspaper Mark Kaplan asked that ELIA have quarterly general membership meetings on 2nd Monday of January, April, July and ·october. Also that Newspaper be published quarterly prior to the general membership meeting. A newsletter would be mailed out following each executive board meeting to all members with minutes of that meeting. Kaplan made a motion for above. Jim Powers seconded. In discussion some members did not want to change from bimonthly meetings. It was a valid concern but it was pointed out that board meetings are open to all members. Motion was passed by a vote of 12 to 2. ~. Resident Ann Peterson, 1122 Rhode Island, said that after·reading article about new County Jail in Journal World she sent letters to both Oread and East Lawrence neighborhood groups asking for clarification of there 'support' quoted in article. She said someone called from Oread in a couple of days and it was two weeks before someone from East Lawrence contacted her. It was explained that what ELIA supported was statement by County Comm~ssion ~ to expand facilities to the East Side of Rhode Island and further that bond issues would come up and that ELIA was continuing to monitor this jail expansion (see article in ELIA Newspaper, April 1994). Kaplan apologized to Ms Peterson and �explained that this happened during a time of extreme difficulty for ELIA following-the loss of Shelly Miller. Jim Dewey encouraged the use of both monthly newsletter and quarterly newspaper to keep residen:s informed of ELIA participation in neighborhood. activities. Meeting was adjourned at 9:45pm. ·'Minutes submitted by Secretary Jim McCrary, April 19, 1994. L �' . Position Statement of the East Lawrence Improvement Association concerning the Proposed Eastern Parkway, Roads and Traffic April 18, 1994 By a resolution adopted on August 2, 1993, the East Lawrence Improvement Association is on record as opposing the planning and construction of an Eastern Parkway as proposed by the. city of Lawrence, unless meaningful neighborhood protections ar~ in place by May 1, 1994. As the May 1 deadline approaches, it i~ apparent that the necessary neighborhood protections will not b~ in place. Nevertheless, it is equally apparent that the City. has taken positive steps to further implement some of the so-called 18 criteria for neighborhood protection. ELIA salutes t,he City for the posii::ive steps taken over the last 9 months and encourages their continuation. As events have unfolded in recent months, it seems prudent for ELIA to reexamine its position on the Eastern Parkway in the light of current circumstances with respect to roads and traffic in Lawrence. ELIA has always been firmly resolved that any Eastern Parltway should be an auxiliary route to another bypass -- an Eastern Parkway should not become the main Lawrence truck route. Recent questions raised by students at Haskell Indian Nations University, and declining support in the local business community ·~make it increasingly unlikely that the South Lawrence Trafficway will be built in the foreseeable future, if ever. As such, an Eastern Parkway, if built at this time, would become the principal route connecting K-10 with I-70. This would be contrary to the 18 criteria, and completely unacceptable. In addition to negative impacts on the East Lawrence neighborhood itself, this would create a major traffic snarl in the area of the outlet mall and the Kaw River bridges, where one pedestrian was already hit in recent days. ELIA calls upon the city and County to follow the lead of Rep. Jan Meyers and mothball the Eastern Parkway project until the question of a main bypass for Lawre~ce is resolved.~LIA has long supported the conce~tta~tne main connecting rou e between K-10 and I-70 should be east of town across a new Kaw River bridge. We call upon the city, County and KDOT to explore this option in earnest. / I n the meantime, the city should continue to implement neighborhood ( protections for East Lawrence. A viable East Lawrence is important \ to the health of Downtown and the entire central city. With or .~\ without an Eastern Parkway: the Delaw~re Street truck rou~e should · ) be posted at 20 mph; the truck ord1nance should be v1gorously enforced on all neighborhood streets; the west side of Rhode Island Street from 7th to 9th should be rezoned R0-1A; housing rehabilitation and historic preservation should be promoted; the riverfront ( greenspace should be protected; an authoritative neighborhood plan should.be adopted. \ ~t.(When neighborhood protections are firmly in place, ELIA would be ~ willing to consider the construction of a route connecting Downtown with a new bypass east of town (K-10 to I-70 across a new bridge). �East Lawrence Improvement Association Minutes of Executive Board Meeting May 16, 1994 Meeting held at Ashline/McCrary residence 927 Rhode Island Meeting called to order at 7:30pm by Vice-president Jim Powers.

Minutes of previous meeting approved and available to members. 2. Report. Shelle Rosenfehl reported that there was $1000.00 in general fund and $223.00 in credit union fund. A new fiscal year begins August 1st and we have administrative funds on line for next year. Berry Shilinsky asked if we could carry over money or should we spend it or will CDBG take it back? Kaplan replied that they had asked that question during meeting with CDBG and hopefully the money can go in Robert Baker fund. Baker said the Cap Improvement money will go back and we can ask for Public Service money back to use for administrative funds. Baker will follow up and report at Ex Board meeting next week. 2. ~easures Coordinators• Reports Special Projects Coordinator Jim Dewey handed out a packet containing several projects he is working on, including Associate Membership, advertising rate sheet, table of organization and Certificate of Membership. The Associate Memberships will be sold to businesses and persons in community and income will be used for salary and capital investment to, for instance, New York School computer fund or scholarship fund. Membership certificates are suitable for framing and posted in business in order to raise level of interest in community. Neighborhood Coordinator Robert Baker refereed members to latest issue of Newsletter for updates on housing issues, new �jail, bonus zoning and call for project suggestions to CDBG. He had articles on all these issues in Newsletter. He also announced that next Neighborhood Plan meeting is July 20 at City Hall, 3rd floor. Transportation is subject. Riverfront Conservation Easement Attorney Sharon Stevens gave report on status of Conservation Easement which she drew up for ELIA and presented to LPA at the July meeting of that group. The document is designed so that the City will 'deed' the land north of Santa Fe station to a local non-profit organization as either wildlife preserve, park or habitat. LPA is interested and through motion formed a committee to study the plan and talk with other organizations about the easement. We are nOWwaiting for LPA to come back to us. Ms Stevens will continue to work with ELIA, LPA and the city on this issue and report back to general membership at next meeting. As she said this is an important and good issue for ELIA to sponsor as it serves to provide, if followed through, protection to greenspace in East Lawrence. If LPA agrees then we go to City Ma~er and make a document that they and LPA can agree on. Stevens also added that she was at conference in Washington, D.C. and that the National Audibaun people were aware of Eagle habitat in Lawrence and would monitor this situation and were also ready to work with City people to help out. This will probably go to City people in the fall. ~ C-4 Bonus zoning Jim Powers gave a report on City Commission July 5 meeting when they voted to approve draft for C-4 zoning even though they were not sure what it would be. ELIA had no comment on the vote at the time. Powers did say that the Winter group wants C3-RO zoning which is closer to what ELIA would like to see. Powers also said that the Winter group was in no big hurry to ask for re-zoning on New Hampshire. A question for Powers from floor asking if C-3 zoning always means more parking problems. He said C-3 does not require off street parking but RO does. Baker said the zoning �July 19, 1994 Margine Swarts POB 708 Lawrence, Ks 66044 Dear Margine, Here are the minutes from July 18 General Membership meeting, the April 18 GM meeting and the May 16 Ex Board meeting.
