Roeland Park residents will have the opportunity to weigh in on teardown/major remodeling guidelines, satisfaction with the updated leaf pickup program, and provide suggestions for pool programming when they receive their 2019 citizen survey. Residents can also indicate whether they want the city’s parks to be completely smoke free. Councilmembers discussed the draft version of the 7-page questionnaire during Monday’s workshop meeting. Once finalized each Roeland Park household can expect to receive a survey in the mail. The survey will also be available online.
The questionnaire will allow residents to provide feedback on how much authority they would like the city to have on directing design aesthetics for new homes and significant remodels and weigh in on which design elements they feel most strongly about. Options include the size and height of a house, setbacks, windows and doors on each elevation of the home, driveway widths, and the percentage of impervious surface (like concrete) allowed. Prairie Village has been dealing with similar issues, and passed a new set of design guidelines last year.
