ELNA Adopts Families for
Holidays
Prompted by an article written in the Journal World in
late November about the number of families in need of
support during the holiday season, ELNA decided to chip
in and do what we could to help. To gauge neighborhood
support, an email went out to those enrolled in the ELNA
email list. After receiving a large pool of positive
responses, we went to the Penn House to request a family
for adoption. We selected two very small families to
ensure that we would not overextend our resources.
Quickly we were able to adopt another small family.
Once we got everything for these families organized, we
realized that we had enough money left to adopt a rather
large family of 6. In the end, we were able to adopt two
single mothers with one child each, one couple and their
child, and one single mother with 5 children.
It was remarkable that after barely more than 2
weeks, more than 40 people came forward offering to
help. Thanks to residents, business owners, friends, and
Ed Tato, ELNA managed to raise about $2000.00 for
families in need.
Contributors include Architect Dan Sabatini, Capitol
Federal Savings &amp; Loan, Thomas Van Holt I Starving
Artist Movers, Jane and Bo Harris, Sarah Ruhlen, marci
francisco, Linda Lips, Liz Brosius, Janet Good, Nancy
Oderkirk, Beth Rowlands, Denise Modin, Anne
Tangeman, Kate Klaus, Julie Osborn, Liberty Hall
employees, Tim Griffith, Karen Butler, Jeff Barnett, Brett
Scott, Tom Eversole, Mike Myers, Jason Fizell, Doug
Byers, Mike Riehm, Bret Dillingham, Dawn Tato, Molly
Krause, Mickey Ceasar, Adrienne Banks, Christine Boller,
Kent Smalter, Bobbi Rahder, the Medusa Poetry Group,
Sunflower Cablevision employees, Jean Browne, Jason
Ryberg, Jason Fizell, Madeline O'Brien, Ardys Ramberg,
Doug Byers, and Liatris Studer.

Due to it's success, ELNA hopes to make this an
annual event. Thank you so much to everyone who
helped to put this together on such short notice. It was an
extremely positive experience with an incredibly broad
base of support.

�Development at 8~ and Pennsylvania
Following a September meeting at Hobbs Park
addressing concerns about a development proposal in
the 800 block of Pennsylvania, a series of questions
were presented to developer Bo Harris. An abridged list
of the questions and answers are below. If you have not
already received, but would like to have complete list
of the questions, call Aimee at 832-0232.

a

What will be bulldozed?
At the current time, we would envision bulldozing the
existing properties on the west side of Pennsylvania and
1
the current properties on the north side of 9 h Street (east
of 846 Pennsylvania). It would include the detailing and
tire center (the old salvage yard and building).
With added retail, will there be added truck traffic?
We don't believe retail will create additional truck traffic.
Simply putting the existing buildings to use will probably
create traffic. We believe much of this and existing truck
traffic would be mitigated with the extension of Haskell
along the existing rail spur right-of-way.
Where are the $ coming from? Does Bo have silent
partners (like Compton's Chicago friends?)
This is one of the hardest parts -- to convince lenders
that they should invest in East Lawrence. We have no
silent partners at this time and will depend on local
resources to spur this project forward.

Undetermined at this time. We are hoping these
changes would be facilitated in cooperation with the East
Lawrence Neighborhood through our meeting agendas.
We are willing and anxious to continue meeting as we
are able to move this project along.

Tightening up the streets? Why? (someone suggested
looking at fh St., where it's been done)
The thoughts regarding "tightening up the streets' was
suggested as a facilitation to provide easy pedestrian
crossing at currently busy intersections.
Water drainage issues? We already have problems (i.e.,
fh &amp; N.Y.) We are in the yellow zone now, will this
move us into the floodplain?
One of the most pressing issues in East Lawrence is the
drainage issue. As part of getting the city to participate
in East Lawrence improvements, we would hope that we
would improve the situation rather than make it worse.
Lighting? What do we want?
We are wanting attractive, non-obtrusive, and safe
lighting levels along all pedestrian routes within the
neighborhood and particularly those routes connecting
East Lawrence with downtown Lawrence.

Polk's Oil tanks underground and the oil soaked dirt Isn't that a really expensive clean-up site?
So far, the sites that we have had under
contract and completed Phase I
Will it be innovative?
Environmental Studies show that we have
There has been a lot of existing
conditions that need clean-up
ho-hum architecture in
work. We are currently seeking sources of
funds to help with this expensive endeavor.
Lawrence lately.

Gentrification - When the property
values and taxes go up, will we be
able to afford to stay in East
Lawrence? How about the elderly?
Could he have mixed residential,
/ow-income, mid and upscale? They
just cut the ribbon on a big development in Kansas City
that guarantees mixed income tenants.
We would like to have mixed residential as the project
moves forward. We are in hopes that our project will
create an air of prosperity in East Lawrence. Hopefully,
this prosperity would be shared at all levels in the East
Lawrence community.
We would hope the
neighborhood's gain in property values would outweigh
the tax burden that may be created by the prosperity.
We are doing our best to plan for improvements that will
create residential accommodations at various levels.

Will it be innovative? There has been a lot of ho-hum
architecture in Lawrence lately.
For sure. The first thing we hope to do is redevelop and
enhance the architecture of the existing facilities. We
will be doing our best to enhance the architectural style
in the new building that are innovative while keeping in
mind the period architecture of the neighborhood
Zoning Changes? What is he hoping for? What are the
allowed uses and what if 8o's tenants move out and we
are left with the worst allowed? Is Bo willing to keep
meeting with us?

Trucks moving alongside the tracks to fh St. Is this just
another way to revive the East Lawrence Trafficway?
(Haskell Loop) Would this just be running trucks near
somebody else's home?
The idea of moving trucks along the existing tracks to 71h
is an issue that will take a great deal more neighborhood
involvement and City and community participation. We
have discussed this in our meetings but it is not part of
our project at this time.
As the Journal World pushes east, the Downtown too,
and now development on our eastside ... are the
residents slowly being squeezed out?
This Is an Issue that has been discussed in our East
Lawrence meetings and this may be a good time for the
neighborhood to consider a rezoning of all existing
ground currently being used for residential. We think
that our plan to utilize the West side of Pennsylvania
Street for a mixed use residential will enhance the
probability that the current residential will remain
residential in East Lawrence.
Bo Harris, he will be at the January ELNA general
meeting to answer any other questions you may have.

ELNA GENERAL MEETING
New York Elementary School

Monday, May 12, 2003, 7:00 p.m.
The May Agenda includes:
- Neighborhood Workday
- Neighborhood Cleanup
- Conservation District
- CDBG Public Hearing

Delaware Street Commons
Delaware Street Commons is in the final stages of closing on the
sale of the two smaller lots it owns along Delaware Street
between 12th and 13th. The group is currently discussing the
project with two local developers. It is also working with the
architect to finish the site plan. As part of this effort, with group will
meet with the architect sometime in May to revisit the design
requirements for the Common House. (A 'common house' is the
community center for cohousing projects, normally including such
features as a large kitchen and dining room, laundry facilities, a
play room (for children), and a mail-room, along with possible
additional rooms such as guest rooms, library, exercise room, or
office.)
The project still has units available for people who are interested
in living a development that is designed to enhance social
interaction and community. Individuals interested in the project
can contact DSC by phone (785-550-0163) or via e-mail at
info@delaware-street.com. Information about the project can be
found at http://www.delaware-street.com.

Conservation Districts
and the City of Lawrence
In 2001 the City of Lawrence established a zoning category known
as the Urban Conservation Overlay District (UCO). One aim of
the UCO is to foster development and redevelopment that is
compatible with the scale and use of developmenUdesign
standards and guidelines. UCO's do not regulate the use of land
or the use of buildings or structures. The uses are controlled by
the regulations of the underlying base zoning district. An
application to establish a UCO district may be initiated by the
Historic Resources, Planning, or City Commission. Applications
may also be initiated by petition when signed either by the owners
of 51% of the area within the proposed district or 51% of the
property owners. To find out more call Aimee at 832-0232.

Lawrence Waste Reduction
&amp; Recycling
If I haven't said it before, I'll say it now, these people
have a pretty cool website, especially for a government
site. Visit http://www.lawrencerecycles.org/, it's good for
both kids and adults.
If you are unable to go there yourself, this is what it
says:
- Computers can be recycled at Kansas Computer
Recycling (785) 234-4675 in Topeka, The Surplus
Exchange (816) 472-0444 in Kansas City, MO, and The
Computer Learning Center 841-0333 in Lawrence.
- There are three ways to handle your "yard waste": 1)
grasscycle, mow it and leave it; 2) compost it; 3) leave it
in paper bags for the city to pick up and compost.
- The Hazardous Waste Program has expanded its
hours. Call them at 832-3030 to schedule a drop-off
appointment, label your waste, and drive to the
hazardous waste facility. They do not take smoke
alarms, explosives, asbestos, infectious waste, unknown
materials, or compressed gas cylinders.
- Scratch Remover - Dry Mustard and Vinegar. Mix 1
part dry mustard and 1 part white vinegar into a paste.
Apply paste to the scratch. Polish with a soft cloth. Avoid
eye contact; Dry mustard can be irritating to the eyes.
- Remove Water Stains - Make a paste of mayonnaise
and wood ashes or cigarette ashes. Apply to water
stain. Polish with a soft cloth.
- One of the significant sources of pollution in our
waterways is stormwater runoff. There are 7,500 storm
sewers in Lawrence that collect runoff from driveways,
yards, roofs, roads, construction sites, and parking lots.
As the water gains in speed and volume, it collects
debris, soil, garbage, pet waste, and hazardous waste
that eventually channeled into the stormdrain.
- Never mix bleach with other cleaners because it
creates gasses that can make you sick.

Open the door a crack and people lunge through to help. It took
less than a month to turn a vacant lot into a recognizable
community garden. Thanks to Dave Learned, Jean Burgess,
Clayton McHenry, Stephanie Smith, Tennyson LeMaster, Shanna
Nguyen, Michelle Crank, David Gundy, and a ton of other people,
especially Eric Farnsworth, the Eastside Community Garden is
really taking off. However, we still need a sign for the g&lt;¥"den. If
there are any artistic people out there looking for a canvas, give

Dig into spring by tilling your yard! ELNA has a tiller for rent
for $10/half day. We also have a brand spankin' new lawn
mower that is available for rent for $5/half day. If you have
any questions or would like to rent one of these fine pieces
of machinery, call Clayton McHenry at 842-7616 or Aimee
Polson at 832-0232.

Let Us Help You
Are you perplexed by some City or County issue? Do you
need something, but don't know where to look for it? Look
to the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association, we will
help you in any way that we can. Call Aimee or any of the
above Board Members with your questions, or email
eastlawrence@yahoo.com.

World record holder Donny Cole, racing for the Waller Tiller
Racing Team, set a new world record in an early heat of the
2002 race by tilling the 200 foot track in 6.34 seconds
-an average speed of 21.5 mph.

Proposed CDBG Budget for
Fiscal Year 2003
The public hearing regarding the proposed expenditures was held on April
24th. The Neighborhood Resources Department will be taking public
comment until May 26th, 2003. The public comment is not only for CDBG
spending, but for HOME Grant allocation and the City's Consolidated Plan.
The Consolidated Plan provides a unified vision for community development,
examining housing needs of special populations, the availability of affordable
housing, the condition of housing in the City, and the housing market.
Additionally, the Plan examines the needs for infrastructure, capital
improvements, and neighborhood development. It is a five-year strategy.
I haven't looked at the consolidated plan in a while, but I have looked at the
CDBG spending proposal. It is quite interesting. There is a total of
$1,600,000 available this year. The money is divided between public services
and capital (structural) improvements. 9% ($148,500) of the money has been
directed towards public services, with the rest reserved for capital
improvements and $198,000 allotted for administration of the grant for one
year.
If you would like a copy of the CDBG and HOME spending proposals you can
email Aimee at eastlawrence@yahoo.com or stop by the City Neighborhood
Resources Department. You can also get a copy of the Consoidated Plan
there as well as online at www.lawrenceneighres.org.
