Staff Reports
DAB 4 • August 2020 • Page 1
DAB Member Michael Gomm asked for the Staff Reports. There were no reports from
Police, but Acting Battalion 2 Chief with the Fire Department, Richard Bahr, was in
attendance to give a report.
Chief Bahr states that there were 2 fires in July that took place in District 4. One was a
shed on south St. Claire ($4,000 in damages) that was due to arson and under
investigation. The other fire was at 121 S Athenian ($1,000 in damages) that was to the
exterior of an apartment complex, and this is also under investigation. Citywide, fires
resulted in $176,000 total damages, and year to date is $208,500 in damages due to fires.
Chief Bahr then asked if there were any questions.
Chairman Gomm said that he had a grease fire that had started on his outdoor gas grill
and wanted to know the recommended actions to take for this type of incident. Chief Bahr
replied that the first thing to do was to shut off the fuel line (propane or gas) and then let
the grease burn off. Also, it is important to keep the grease pan emptied after every use.
Having a fire extinguisher on hand is also recommended and to keep grills away from
anything that is combustible.
There were no further questions for Chief Bahr.
Chairman Gomm then asked for the Library Report and DAB Member Laura Rainwater
read the report as follows:
Alford’s Circulation count for July was 3,317 items. (July 2019 was 13, 014 items)
Alford’s gate count for July was 2,735 visits. (July 2019 was 8,316 visits)

recorded and available at a later date for customers to access. Visit
www.wichitalibrary.org/gardening to learn more and register. Customers will receive an email
the day before the scheduled program with information to access the program on Zoom.
2. Because of the ongoing uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wichita Public Library and
its community partners have chosen to postpone the NEA Big Read: Wichita until
January/February of 2021 and move it to a virtual format. The health and safety of participants,
staff and partners is important and the planning team wants to make sure time is taken to offer
the best possible Big Read program with public health and safety at the forefront. Customers
are encouraged to place a hold on the book through the Library’s online catalog, or access the
e-book and e-audiobook on the Libby app.
3. There are multiple ways customers can access Library materials while browsing the shelves is
temporarily unavailable:
Each location is offering a concierge service. If you know which materials you’d like to
borrow, or have an idea of titles or authors you’d like to explore, you can ask staff for
assistance and staff will grab materials for you.

services at all of our locations while keeping social distancing guidelines in place.
5. All Library location will be closed on September 6 th & 7th for the Labor Day Holiday.
Chairman Gomm thanked Laura, and mentioned that the reason we are not meeting at the
Library’s meeting room is due to the library continuing to use that room as a “quarantine
room” for books that are returned to the library by readers. Chairman Gomm then moved
on to the Public Agenda giving Todd McVey a brief introduction.

Public Agenda
Scheduled Items
Todd McVey with the U.S. Census stated that they were moving into the non-response
portion of the census, also known as the door-to-door phase. Everyone that has not
responded to the census will receive a visit from a U.S. Census employee. They are also
doing the Stop and Knock Campaign and trying to get as many as possible to take the
census on line due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Census has discovered that doing the
Census on line or by mail is a better representation of the household as opposed to
someone knocking on their door whom they might not wish to speak with. Mr. McVey was
then open for questions.
Q: Can you go online to see if you have completed the Census?
A: You can call the Census line at 844-330-2020 and give your address. A representative
will be able to tell you if your Census response was submitted.
Q: If someone comes to your door stating that they are with the Census, how will you know
if they actually are with the U.S. Census?
A: Anyone representing the Census will have an I.D. Badge, wear a mask, and will
maintain a 6 ft. distance. The representative will not step inside and will not ask for any
Social Security Number. The Stop and Knock Campaign will be over by the end of
September.

Preliminary Budget Overview: 2021-2022 Operating Budget:
Elizabeth Goltry, Budget Officer with the Department of Finance, was online to present.
The 2021–2022 Proposed Budget and the 2021-2030 Proposed Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) have been developed over the past several months based on input from the
public and direction from the City Council. Under the guidance of the City Manager, this
budget results from the ongoing Zero-Based Budget (ZBB) review that focuses on service
delivery, encourages innovation, and considers alignment of each service with the City’s
mission and focus areas. The City’s five focus areas include: Keeping Wichita Safe;
Growing Wichita’s Economy; Building Dependable Infrastructure; Living Well; and Wichita:
An Exceptionally Well-Run City. Ms. Goltry had a PowerPoint presentation and explained
the challenges of the proposed operating budget and capital improvements plan.
Chairman Michael Gomm commented that he thought there were three hot topics about
the budget – Animal Shelter, the future of Century II and how to operate the facility, and
the Wichita Police staffing.
There were no further questions or comments, so Chairman Gomm thanked Ms. Goltry
and asked Mr. Philip Zevenbergen, Associate Planner with the Metropolitan Area Planning
Department, to present the two (2) scheduled Planning Department cases.

predominantly residential uses. Sycamore Pond Addition encompasses 36 + acres.
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The property is
presently zoned SF-5 Single Family Residential, and the property could be developed with new
single-family dwellings; however, the Community Investments Plan encourages a variety of
housing types, including duplexes.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: TF-3 zoning
will compatible with the surrounding zoning districts.
4. Length of time the property has been vacant as currently zoned: The property was platted in June
2006. No development has begun on the site.
5. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and
policies: The Wichita-Sedgwick County Community Investments Plan, identifies the area in which
the site is located as Wichita Urban Growth Area. The site is located in an area in which City
expansion and extension of municipal services and infrastructure should be focused for residential
growth and has the potential to be developed by 2035 based upon population growth and market
trends. The uses envisioned for redevelopment in this area include a variety of residential types
DAB 4 • Agenda • Page 5
including single-family dwellings, duplexes and multi-family residential.
6. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: Development of the property would
not have any impact on community facilities or resources. All public improvements are proximal
to the property.

MORGAN, PLANNING STAFF, presented the staff report and stated that she would answer any specific
questions from the Commission members.
DUXLER: Has DAB IV heard this case and did they make a recommendation?
DAVE YEAROUT, PRINCIPAL PLANNER, DAB IV will hear this case on Monday, August 3, 2020.
KRIS ROSE, BAUGHMAN COMPANY, AGENT FOR THE APPLICANT: Agent agrees with staff
comments and stated he would answer any questions.
MICHAEL THOME, 203 SOUTH CEDAR PARK CIRCLE, WICHITA: I own land to the south. This
area has never flooded, will he change the landscape and make my property flood? He (the applicant) has
two lateral lines on his side and I have the header cut so it won’t disrupt my lateral line.
MORGAN: During the platting process, a drainage plan will be required because of the acreage of the site.
Subdivision Regulations require that water does not drain to adjacent properties.
THOME: He has one drainage pond dug, will he have to have more ponds.
MORGAN: There are five reserves noted on the plat that are for drainage.
WARREN: Dave do you want to speak on the process for platting?
YEAROUT: When the plat was approved, there was a drainage plan submitted. When they start
developing the subdivision all utilities will have to be extended and the final drainage plan will have to be
in compliance.
FOSTER: I suggest that Mr. Thome be put in contact with Joe Hickle.
THOME: Is there a date for construction to begin?
GROSS: Does he need the contact information for Joe Hickle?
YEAROUT: Mr. Thome can contact the Planning Department for that information.
ROSE: The start date for development will be dependent on when the sanitary sewer can get extended.
There may be some site improvement that can be done, but nothing major until the sewer is extended.
WARREN: If there are no other comments from the public, I will bring the discussion back to the
commission and ask for a motion.
MOTION: To approve subject to the staff recommendations.
DUXLER moved, HARTMAN seconded the motion, and it carried (11-0)
