<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last night I attended a public hearing held by the
Moscow Board of Adjustment. By a 2 to 1 vote, the commissioners ruled that
Zoning Commissioner Joel Plaskon was wrong to say that New Saint Andrews use of
its downtown property was allowed under existing code. The board
ruled for the complainants.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joel Plaskon spoke to the relevant issues as did
the complainants attorney, Mike Curley. Not so the representative for New
Saint Andrews, a Mr. Dickenson[?].</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He refused to address the issue and spoke instead
of the imagined motives of the complainants. The commission chairman
asked the N.S.A. representative more than once to refrain from attacking
the complainants and speak to the issue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joel Plaskon said that he used a "holistic"
approach to reach his decision. A "holistic" look at the actions of N.S.A.
and its affiliated enterprises tells me they have yet to find a law they are
willing to obey.</FONT></DIV>
