Hello!

Quick update  - the Monday evening planning commission was long! A majority of the evening was spent on the zoning change for the property located at the corner of 6th & Fairlawn (formerly Ramada Inn). The planning commission was asked to send an amended recommendation to the city council, after the first planning commission recommendation was turned down. The planning commission  agreed to recommend a Maverick station at the corner without the weigh station and islands for semi-truck fueling. As I understand it - if the Maverick location goes forward, there would still be an exit on 7th, a possible additional light at 7th & Fairlawn, and an extension of the center median that would severely impact entering/exiting the Amoco station on the east side of Fairlawn.

 The neighbors were present, and spoke candidly about the impact the Maverick station would have on their neighborhood, school, and businesses. 

There was no new information from Committee on Housing. The planning commission did confirm the issue of citywide zoning change to allow duplex, triplex and quadplex is on the agenda for the August 18 meeting.

Please mark your calendar  - ELMHURST  Neighborhood Association  has organized a meeting with the members of City of Topeka planning commission on Thursday July 31, 2025, 6:30pm  Topeka Shawnee County Public Library.  Please attend and invite your neighbors!

Also - I apologize, but will get back to the telephone calls/messages left the last week.
