STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request.
Maurine Gray, Director of Community Services, is requesting approval of the placement of a
train diner car next to the KCS Depot at 1205 Franklin.
The Literacy Depot currently occupies the KCS Depot. According to Ms. Gray, the Literacy
Depot has run out of space in the depot building. Without additional space, they will have to look
for space elsewhere.
Ms. Gray Has been in contact with the KCS Railroad and they are willing to donate a diner car
and lay the tracks on which the diner car would sit. The car will be restored and used for
classrooms.
The proposed location of the diner car will be on the east side of the depot.
Exhibits are attached.
