May 8, 2006 Lecompton City Council Minutes
7:00 P.M.
City Council meeting joined the Planning Commission meeting. Mayor Paslay, Council members Mark Tunstall, Tim McNish, Ed Smith and Bruce Liese were present. Chuck Folks was absent. City Superintendent Justin VanWinkle and City Clerk Sandy Nichols were present.
New Planning Commission members Jeff Robertson and Jennifer Smith were introduced.
Pat Zollner from the Kansas Historical Society was present to discuss the possibility of adding the Community Building to the State Historical Register. Concern of the front window was discussed. It would be fine for the State Historical Register. Possibilities of funding were discussed. The only disadvantage mentioned was if changes were to be made they would need to be approved by the State Interior. It was stated the back addition would not have to be removed. If the Community Building was to be added to the National Historical Register the front window and the drop ceiling might have to be restored to the original style. The State Historical Society would have someone assist us with grant application and contractor lists. It is possible there would be a CDBG grant we could apply for.
There was discussion regarding ADA requirements and needs. Replacement of windows was discussed. It was stated the windows would need to stay original as possible – storm windows possible. Any changes within 500 feet would need to be reviewed. Sheet rock would be okay, keeping the depth the same and rounding around windows.

Tex Harrell presented an application for rezoning. The Planning Commission will study the application and try to have a recommendation at the June 12, 2006 meeting.
