In McDonald County citizens already have formed the McDonald County Medical Service Authority, while a seven man committee in Dallas County still Is In the pre-liminary stages of l-'t' Doctors who decide to join the corps are required to stay t.two years at their assigned location and are placed on the federal payroll with a salary in ate in one of the two areas next summer, Howell said. Less active recruiting will continue until July, he added.

The Dallas and McDonald county groups, which are made up of interested citizens, each asked in their1, applications that two doctors be assigned to their counties, si The counties became eligible for the corps' assistance after they were designated "critical medical manpower shortage" areas by HEW. Cnder government standards, an area Is critically short if it has only one doctor per 4000 residents, or one dentist for every 5000 persons. To qualify for the doctors the neighborhood of $20,000, Howell '''ii All fees collected by the cor poration on behalf of a doctor would be turned over to the corps up to the equivalent of the physician's salary. Any excess money generated could be used by the corporation for needed medical equipment and supplies. After two years, the corps ends it contract with the doctor and he is free to negotiate a new one with the corporation, enter private practice in the community or leave the area.

Before doctors are recruited, Howell said the corps tries to find out as much as possible about a particular area in order to place medical personnel who will be compatible with the community. 7' "Our program, hopefully, tries to match the doctor with the community," Howell said. "We attempt to make sure the doctor knows what to expect of the community. We dont want any unhappy, people out there." Special I Ike Daily Nwi KANSAS CITY The National Health Service Corps has approved applications from groups in Dallas and McDonald counties asking for the corps' help in recruiting doctors to relieve "critical medical manpower shortages'" in their The corps, a part of the U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare (HEW), hires doctors, dentists and other medical personnel for a period of two years and sends them to communities where a manpower shortage exists.

Howell, program officer for the corps' regional office In Kansas City, said Wednesday his agency is free to start looking for physicians for the counties following approval of the applications by a regional review committee. Intensive, recruiting efforts will be made through December at teaching hospitals, and to a lesser extent, medical schools, in an effort to find doctors who will agree to loc 036-1150 THE WAIIT AD IIUHOER DIAL DIRECT To ploc your od In lh Nw, Uadtr It Prvu Oattifitd Ad-yrtiog Sactien. Accident Blamed in lowan's Death By DIANE EIXIS SUlf Writer Subdivision platting Involves 120 different decisions under 27 categories of requirements, Planning Director Harold Haas told a study session of five oning and Planning slon members Wednesday night. The areas requiring decl-, sions of a legislative body were outlined in a development poll- py manual drawn up by a committee of representatives from the planning department, the public works department, the telephone company, aomebuilders and others interested in the subdivision process, Haas said. He noted 4 hat development policy is one Jf five areas covered by a federal planning grant.

Wednesday's meeting was Resigned to acquaint commis- Bion members with the role a legislative body such as It-ielf plays In the platting and planning process for subdlvi- sions. Haas said the commission will be asked to make -recommendations for any needed amendments to the subdivision by the first of Ja- nuary. He said the commission Tmay also recommend that no Tchanges be made. Also in the making is a prototype or model subdivision iregulations guide. The com-mission has not considered guide yet, but is involved 3n reivew of the aid -regulations.

The platting function of a body such as the commission overrides its zoning function, Haas said. "That is the thing that ties down your streets and everything. This doesn't change often," he said. The goals of subdivision platting, according to guides which will be outlined In the prototype ordinance, Include implementation of the Comprehensive Plan, Haas said. He noted that many state and federal grants require' the presence of an over all development plan.

Platting is also designed to prevent development slums and blight, Haas said. Future development of other tracts must be taken into consideration, as well as relating the subdivision to the community as a whole, the model guide specifies. Also involved is provision for costs of improvements which will primarily serve the residents of a subdivision be paid for by. those residents, while improvements to benefit the com- -munity as a whole be borne by the community, Haas said. The decision making pro-cess involves both functional and aesthetic considerations, the planning director reminded.

Agreements between city and developer must be reached as to who takes responsibility for different functions and needs of the subdivisions, he added. For instance, a 'decision '-must be made as to what kinds troopers were Informed that Edward Van Engen, 82, Ireton, Iowa, succumbed Oct. 11. He was walking on U. S.

65 five miles south of Branson when he was hit by an auto driven by Edward Lee Stacy, 49, Branson, officers said. The death of an elderly Iowa man who was struck by a car near Branson Sept. 24 was reported by the state patrol Wednesday. Checking with St. John's Hospital after they were contacted by an Iowa attorney, 0M0 of plants can be placed on public right of way areas and who puts them there, Haas explained.

What other responsibilities does a developer have for the areas between property lines and streets, land which belongs to the public, Haas asked "More and more de- mands are being made on this lousy little SO or (0 feet every day." Commenting on a recent proposal by City Councilman Garrett Wright that the council approve preliminary plats of subdivisions rather than final plats, Haas said, "Will the City Council have the time to negotiate all these areas? I thought most people wanted to unload council." Delays caused by study by another governing body also result in money loss to the developer, Haas noted. Tentative or sketch plans may result in great savings of time and effort by both developer and planning department, Haas said, By making use of Informal plans before engineering or other studies are required, "We have made a lot of friends and saved this community lots of money," He explained that a sketch plan comes before the preliminary plan and gives the planners a basic idea of the subdivision planned. By considering the tentative plan, planners can anticipate problems a developer may encounter "'before be has ever invested a dime," Haas said. He said the early plans require a minimum of time by the planning department and other agencies Involved. Staff time is wasted along with that of the developer If the developer presents a full plan which must then be torn apart and begun again, Haas remarked.

With difficulties ironed out early in the process, a final plat should only be a matter of record, he added. The key to subdivision platting probably lies In the clarity of the standards established, -Haas summed up. And the role of the commission Is a "super developer putting the pieces together for the maximum functioning," he said. mmm mamah mmmmmm aMAaAfaaaBlat aaJal mmm Wmmm HaaA MnWVi pV VlUVWS wU mm mmm tmm Mr. BUI Rutted afl umi Mfcr mi Ret.
