Some changes to zoning would allow them to build smaller homes in established neighborhoods. Currently the lot cost is $50,000 while the average purchase price for a home in Lawrence was 213,000 for 2017. All the new construction is built to be energy efficient. Out of 81 properties, 20 were rehab the rest were infill. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>“Density Bonuses” would allow them to cut the lot cost in half. North Carolina has an example of Density Bonuses. The affordable units must be permanent to get the bonus. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>Putting affordable housing in established neighborhoods fights gentrification by guaranteeing availability of low cost homes in neighborhoods. One suggestion has been to use accessory dwelling designation to build two homes on a lot. There would need to be a text amendment to code to accomplish this.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>Jane Gibson asked that we have discuss creating an audio/video policy. While video recording creates new opportunities but what are the ramifications? Everyone gave their impressions. There was consensus that the minimum amount of courtesy would be to ask or notify speakers in advance if someone will be recording. Rather than voting for a policy, Janne suggested that it be an informal policy.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>Neighborhood reports:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>Barker Neighborhood has street work happening in the north part of the neighborhood.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>Schwegler will be having its garage sale this weekend.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle style='margin-bottom:6.0pt;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>Schwegler Neighborhood has met with KU about the lights and noise from the new sports field.

She reported that many people came to make comments. Bonnie expressed her frustration that the city asks for community input, but the public response is being ignored.
