City of Emporia points to significant rain event in September as chief cause of recent boil advisories in North Lyon County

The three-week-plus boil water advisory that was just recently rescinded for the City of Admire was not related to the city’s own water system, according to Mayor Ron Smith. In an interview with KVOE News, shortly after the advisory was rescinded late Tuesday morning, Smith stated the cause of the loss in chlorine residuals, which led to the advisory’s issuance on October 14th was reportedly related to an issue at the Emporia water treatment plant.

Large proposed multifamily development in Goddard clears a hurdle

Even as Wichita-area homebuyers continue to struggle to find attainable housing options, the city of Goddard is close to giving approvals for Lange Real Estate to be able to move forward with a development that could help ease at least some of that demand. Lange wants to build duplexes, and perhaps quadplexes, sixplexes and even a limited number of single-family homes, on a 155-acre site west of 167th Street West between Maple and Central. In an interview with The Eagle, Ryan Mills, director of development for Lange Real Estate, said there is likely to be approximately 275 lots with a total of 550 to 600 residences in the phased development, with tentative price points anywhere from the mid-$200,000s to $350,000. At its Nov. 9 meeting, the Goddard Planning Commission approved a zoning change and development plan necessary for Lange’s project to go forward. The Goddard City Council will consider final approval of the project at its Nov. 16 meeting. “We’re challenged with: How do you provide moderate affordable housing options and do that in an efficient manner?” Mills said at the planning commission meeting. “I think it’s important for the community to understand that diversity in housing is an obstacle

Derby council approves final plat for controversial multi-family development

Derby’s City Council has approved the final plat for a large multifamily development that has been the topic of controversy among residents in recent months. The Stone Creek Sixth Addition is a planned apartment complex project in the Stone Creek neighborhood, at the northeast corner of Patriot Avenue and Triple Creek Drive — a property that has sat vacant for years. Residents have argued that a large multi-family development would not be a good fit for the neighborhood, one full of single-family homes as well as an elementary school. “That lot had sat there empty for 26 years, and nobody ever dreamed that something of that magnitude . . . would go into that area,” Derby resident Scotty Little said in the public forum portion of Tuesday’s meeting. “This densely populated project in the middle of our single-family homes is not a good fit and will never be a good fit.” In July, developers requested industrial revenue bonds and a 60% property tax abatement for the next ten years as well as a construction materials sales tax exemption from the city of Derby. After heavy pushback, the council rejected the developer’s application, but the project moved forward. Derby’s planning commission

Exit poll shows why Wichita supported school bonds, exposes trust gap | Opinion

What a difference a year and a half makes. Of all the things that happened in the Nov. 3 election, one of the most surprising, important and far-reaching results was the successful campaign for school bonds in Wichita’s USD 259. It probably hasn’t gotten the attention it deserved. Most of the public attention on election night and since has focused on the blue wave that swept across the state, unseating incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall in favor of United Methodist pastor Adam Hamilton. Pending the final count, Democrats also appear to have won the race for governor (Democrat Cindy Holscher vs. Republican Ty Masterson) and attorney general (Democrat Chris Mann vs. incumbent Republican Kris Kobach). Even against that backdrop, and with numerous Democratic upsets in Legislature races up and down the state, the school bond vote was remarkable. In February of last year, voters rejected a plan to borrow and spend $450 million for new construction of a Trades Future Ready Center and renovation of aging buildings across the district. On Nov. 3, the voters approved two ballot questions adding up to $615 million — $165 million more than the district’s original ask. And we now have some insights into why
