Exploring, Documenting, and Assessing Kansas City’s Diverse "Missing Middle" Housing Types

Speakers: Lynda Callon, Director, Kansas City Westside CAN Center; Kevin Klinkenberg, Senior Planner, Olsson Associates; Jed Moulton, Urban Design Manager, City of Omaha, NE. Moderator: Daniel Parolek, Principal, Opticos Design, Inc.

(3.5 hour session) The mismatch between the current housing stock in the U.S. and the large demographic shift, combined with the growing market demand for walkable urban living, has been poignantly defined by recent research. Missing Middle housing types, such as duplexes, fourplexes, mansion apartments, and live-work units are a critical part of the solution and should be a part of the arsenal of every architect, planner and developer. Missing Middle housing are simple, well-designed housing types that achieve medium density yields and provide high-quality, marketable options between single-family homes and mid-rise flats for walkable urban living. Listen to a diverse group of panelists that represent designers, planners and community representatives about how to apply this concept to your communities.

Sustainability and Net Zero Energy Studies with DoD Clients

Speakers: David Mechtly, Project Manager, now with HDR, Inc.; Mark Imel, Energy Services Technical Director, HDR, Inc. Moderator: Damian Kelly, Technical Director and Project Manager, HDR, Inc.

The federal government has, through a series of public laws, executive orders and presidential memorandums, set out an ambitious mandated program to address energy/water/waste/greenhouse gas reduction, a reduced dependence on fossil fuel, and increased usage in alternative fuels for federal agencies. The panelists from the Defense Distribution Center-Susquehanna and HDR share their experiences in accomplishing the mandates while integrating sustainability and net-zero energy planning at a Defense Logistics Agency installation over the past year. Sustainability topics discussed include sustainability components, component support activities, and a capital investment strategy and implementation plan. Net Zero Energy topics include energy reduction measures, “right-sizing” the GSA fleet using combinatorial optimization, recommending grid/islanded-connected micro-grid architecture/control, providing the resulting renewable energy solution, discussing feasible funding mechanisms, and incorporating all aspects of Net Zero into an implementation plan.

Speakers: Ed Kraemer, Co-Chair, Lee’s Summit City Health Education Advisory Board; Michael Park, City Traffic Engineer, City of Lee’s Summit, MO; Marlene Nagel, Community Development Director, Mid-America Regional Council.

(2 hour session) Just six years ago, Missouri had only three Complete Streets policies.

All six of the state’s six largest cities have now adopted Complete Streets policies; citywide Complete Streets policies cover over 1.4 million of the state’s residents. At the metropolitan planning organization level, Complete Streets policies cover more than half of the state’s residents. How were these policies created and adopted? What were the strategies used by advocacy groups, agencies and local citizens? What challenges did they face in creating and adopting policies? How did they overcome the objections? How successful have the policies been? What challenges are advocates, citizens and agencies facing now? Get a take-home list of strategies, ideas and examples.
