>>Gee Crabtree -
>>
>>No disruption at all, and I didn't overlook the line from your communiqu.
>>In fact, I affirmed it: "Dan Mack could have done whatever he wanted with
>>his property." However, you overlooked that Mack predicated his subsequent
>>actions, i.e. eviction and demolition, on the proposed blueprint that he
>>showed to P&Z and City Council, which they could have denied.
>>
>>It is conceivable that Mack would have razed the trailer park just for the
>>hell of it, if City Council did not grant him approval. It's a free 
>>country,
>>and there are no laws against being a jackass. "No Clue" Farris proves 
>>this.
>>
>>But it is equally conceivable that City Council could have said, "No, Mr.
>>Mack, we do not grant you approval," and, given this scenario, poor Dan 
>>Mack
>>wouldn't have gone to the Daily News asking people to feel sorry for him
>>because he had to move all that trash off his property.
>>
>>To answer your question, yes, Mack proposed a change in scope to his legal
>>use. And to reiterate the point that you have not conceded, City Council 
>>had
>>no obligation to grant Mack approval of his enlarged scope that would 
>>result
>>in hardship on his tenants, just as City Council has no obligation to 
>>amend
>>the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code to accommodate NSA's habitual
>>violations.
>>
>>Now, I answered your question, but you have not answered mine. Is it fair
>>and equitable for City Council to require NSA's neighbors to provide 
>>parking
>>for an illegal non-commercial use, when the depletion of those parking
>>stalls will result in those businesses losing sales?
>>
>>Here, let me simplify if for you. Is it fair and equitable of City Council
>>to punish NSA' neighbors in order to remedy NSA's third zoning violation?
>>
>>Take care, Moscow.
