More details below from a message sent on Monday which you <BR>>might not have received because the title was omitted. <BR>><BR>>JO [Jerry Owen, not Joan Opyr]<BR>><BR>>-----Original Message-----<BR>>From: Jerry Owen [mailto:jerry@economicmodeling.com]<BR>>Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 12:28 PM<BR>>To: 'kjell@ccbenefits.com'<BR>><BR>>Interested People,<BR>><BR>>Bob Heironymus gave me this email list from the last time he emailed <BR>>out about the
P&Z meeting. If you'd like to be removed or would like <BR>>to add someone, let me know.<BR>><BR>>The past zoning meetings have been generally dominated by those who <BR>>would oppose certain schools downtown (the code has been recently <BR>>interpreted in such a way that NSA, Moscow High School, and the <BR>>Alternative School are in violation). While it's a good thing that <BR>>people on our side are not normally busy-body, complaint-driven nags <BR>>who attend every committee and city council meeting, now is a <BR>>crucial time for us to respectfully let our concerns be heard. <BR>><BR>>The next P&Z meeting on Schools in Non Residential Zones is set for <BR>>this coming Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in City Hall, located at 3rd and <BR>>Washington on the second floor. This is supposed to be a work <BR>>session where no
public comment on the issue will be allowed, but at <BR>>the last meeting a time rule was ignored so Dustin/Scott/Whoknows <BR>>Bauer could go on. Regardless, having a cordial and intelligent <BR>>witness at the next couple of meetings will likely be decisive in <BR>>the P&Zs decision/recommendation to City Council. It's likely that <BR>>the opposition will show up early and in good number, so plan on <BR>>getting there at least half an hour to an hour early. It's also <BR>>likely that you wont get a seat, but it would also be good to stay <BR>>anyway-out on the steps, in the hall, wherever the spill out flows. <BR>>The current topic is downtown zoning. The next will likely be home <BR>>schools and/or boarding houses. Already some people have been issues <BR>>Cease and Desist orders for home
schooling. <BR>><BR>>None of this changes our fundamental conviction that worship is our <BR>>focus. But this is a good opportunity to get the salt out of the <BR>>salt shaker. It would be good if we had 500+ people there politely <BR>>advocating for schools to be expressly permitted downtown. Invite a <BR>>friend.
