Members of the Lyon County Planning and Appeals Board approved a text change to zoning regulations during Wednesday night’s board meeting.
Linda Borst, GIS technician and administrative assistant for the appraiser’s office, said the text change approved was related to cell phone towers. An extra step before board approval must now be done to comply with state regulations.
The text change states that before board approval of a cell phone tower request, there needs to be an approval letter by the state’s historical preservation office.
“It’s just going to be another step,” Borst said. “It’s just to keep up with the state’s current policy.”
Next month during their regular meeting, board members will discuss urban access corridors, Borst said. No decision has been made so far regarding that topic.
Also during Wednesday evening’s meeting:
• Planning board members approved a request for agriculture special use single family dwelling by Rex and Brenda Fisher.
• Planning board members approved a request for agriculture special use manufactured home by Michael and Connie Boyce.

What are urban access corridors? Is this something else to waste tax money? Is there an urban area in Emporia?

The more I think about urban access corridors the more I make myself laugh. Are these special round abouts or cul de sacs. Please, please someone tell me that is would be something as simple as a stop light or is that to cheap for the town of Emporia?

Urban Acccess Corridors generally deals with traffic congestion problems, usually this involves a study prepared by traffic professionals.

Do we have a lot of traffic congestion in Emporia? Do we have enough traffic to warrent spending millions and millions of dollars on something as this? After all they did complain about traffic on industrial by W mart. Of course, I do not think many of these people have driven interstates in Houston, LA, Washing DC or New York. This just really strikes me as funny. Why not just build a loop around the city if they want to waste more tax dollars?
