Northwest Lincoln gets ready
for a stampede of developers
By Mike Sweeney
Seven commercial developers, each
armed with a proposal to build a grocery
store or shopping center, sought the
support of Northwest Lincoln Community
Association at its Thursday night meeting.
"I feel as though the Merrill Lynch bulls
are running up to Belmont," Harvey
Gunderson, meeting co-moderator, said.
Proposed were two shopping centers at
I4th and Superior streets, two shopping
centers and an apartment complex at 27th
and Superior streets, a new grocery store at
llth and Cornhusker, a mini-shopping
mart at First and Adams, and a shopping
center half the size of Gateway in the High
lands. Gunderson said it was just a matter of
time before developers discovered North
west Lincoln-an expanding neighborhood
where many UNL students live -but he
didn't forsee the sudden flood of commer
cial development proposals.
Discovered
"I didn't expect them to discover us for
another five to 10 years," Gunderson said.
According to community association
president Donna Sears, Northwest Lincoln
residents have long wanted another grocery
store to supplement the only one they now
have- a Jack and Jill at llth and Corn
husker. A 1975 survey showed only about 20
percent of Northwest Lincoln residents
shop at Jack and Jill, Sears said.
Many residents want a Hinky Dinky
store in the neighborhood, she added.
A 30,000-square-foot Hinky Dinky was
proposed by Harlan Noddle, of Noddle
Development Co. of Omaha, as part of a
shopping center he hopes to build on the
northeast corner of I4th and Superior
streets.
Not zoned
However, the corner is not zoned for
commercial use, and Noddle may have
difficulty getting the zoning changed.
Sears said the community association
opposes issuing the amount of land the
city planning department has zoned for
commercial development.
The northeast corner of I4th and Super
ior could be re-zoned to accommodate a
store, but only if other land is rezoned
from commercial to residential use, Sears
said.
"If new lands are zoned, we want other
lands dezoned," Sears said.
Sears said the association wants to limit
the amount of neighborhood commercial
development because "we can't have a lot
of shopping centers going broke."
Challenge
Noddle faces a further challenge to
getting the corner rezoned from the city
planning department. The southeast corner
of I4th and Superior has already been
zoned for a small shopping center, and
planning director Doug Brogden indicated
Thursday night the planning department
usually prefers to have only one corner of
an intersection commercially zoned.
Hub Hall of Hub Hall Real Estate,
owner of the southeast corner of the inter
section, said he plans to build a 25,000-square-foot
IGA grocery store there before
1981.
Some residents of Northwest Lincoln
said they opposed any grocery store at the
I4th and Superior site because they say it
is too close to Goodrich Jr. High School.
Problems
A store on that intersection would
"interfere too much with the school,"
causing traffic and loitering problems,
according to Goodrich faculty member
Joan Kalivoda, 4421 Grandview.
Kalivoda said she would prefer a store at
27th and Superior, where two developers
have said they are interested in building.
Harley Bair and Dave Tews said they
hope to build a shopping center on the
northeast corner of 27th and Superior,
which has already been zoned for commer
cial use.
Also interested in that intersection is
the Firestone Construction and Real Estate
Co. President Warren Firestone said he
would like to build a shopping center
apartment complex on the southwest
corner of the intersection, but, like
Noddle, would need a zoning change.
Other proposals
Other development proposals include:
-Karl Witt, owner of the Belmont Con
struction Co., proposed expanding Jack
and Jill to the east side of llth St. Other
companies would move into the old
grocery store building, he said. The move
would require a zoning change .
-Noel Chadd of Chadd Construction
Co. proposed building a mini-shopping
mart at First and Adams streets, also re
quiring a zoning change.
Joel Katelman is planning to build a
shopping center half the size of Gateway
on land already zoned for business near
First and Fletcher streets.
Community association members were
polled to see which stores they wanted and
to give them input into the developers'
plans, Sears said.
The results of the survey were not released.
Opposition to abuse bill heard
By Randy Essex
County attorneys, a judge and two
Adams County welfare workers voiced
opposition to a bill which proposes a state
operated toll free hotline for reporting
suspected child abuse cases.
LB505, introduced by Omaha Sen. Neil
Simon, established the hotline, allows
welfare workers to take children into pro
tective custody and sets up guidelines for
the documentation of reports.
Simon told the Legislature's Judiciary
Committee that Nebraska and Idaho are
the only two states which require reports
of child abuse be made only to law
enforcement officials.
Simon and other supporters of the bill
argued that the hotline would dramatically
increase the number of reports. The Omaha
senator said reports have increased in the
22 states now using such a hotline.
Dr. Paul Nelson, an Omaha pediatrician,
said deaths due to neglect and abuse have
decreased in Douglas County since efforts
have been made to encourage reporting.
"The identification of these families can
have a greater impact on the family than
anything else," Nelson said. "Identification
is the key to reduction of deaths."
Protective custody
The c unty attorneys said they support
the hotline, but their objections were with
the idea of letting welfare workers take
children into protective custody and with
technical aspects of the bill.
Mike Javoronok. an assistant county
attorney from Scottshluff. said law
enforcement officials are better trained
than weltare workers in the imestieation (f
child abuse situations.
Javoronok also opposed a section of the
bill that would require county attorneys to
file reports within 48 hours of the reported
abuse. He said this was not enough time.
Two Douglas County deputy attorneys
said the bill would not give juvenile courts
jurisdiction in placing the child or keeping
the child in protective custody due to a
technical oversight in LB505.
Bad situation
Albert Schrekinger, a retired NU pro
fessor of social work, said the bill would
allow children and parents to get help with
out the involvement of law enforcement
officials, who, he said, often make the
abuse situation worse than it already is.
Simon said law enforcement officials
don't always want to get involved in a
report, and he wants social workers to be
able to get involved and take necessary
steps in those situations.
The 48 -hour period given county
attorneys to report their decision on a call
to the hotline was fair, Simon said.
Garnet Meyer, a welfare department
employee in Adams County, raised a diff
erent objection to the bill. She said county
agencies outside of Lincoln and Omaha do
not have enough staff members to meet the
demands of LB505.
Meyer said if the state could provide
additional money to the counties her
objections might be eliminated. The bill
was trimmed from $400,000 to S25.00O.
Simon replied to Meyer's remarks by
sayi'iu lie didn't understand how it could
be considered i burden to save a child's
