Lawrence city commissioners set an Aug 24 public hearing date for KPL and neighborhood representatives to discuss the proposed 115,000-volt power line along Fifth Street.

Cantina project seeks zoning board parking permit in Lawrence
Irene Garcia seeks a parking variance from the Lawrence Board of Zoning Appeals to convert 300 Elm last year’s vacant barbecue restaurant into a Chico Cantina with a second story and beer bar. She would need nine off street spaces but lacks room and relies on neighboring lots. City planner David Guntert recommends denial. The board meets Thursday at 7 p.m. in city hall to decide. Also on agenda a curb and gutter exemption for 1045 Pa and a green space ruling. The Douglas County NAACP meets June 10 at 7 30 p m in the Watkins Museum basement to discuss relations with local groups and a fall benefit.
