Thank you!

One had a large knife removed from a sheath during questioning. I'm <br>> not sure who reported the incident that involved police in the first place <br>> but I would guess that since everything was put away (one gun was already <br>> placed in a car across the street) when they arrived that no charges could <br>> be made by the officers being that they did not actually witness anything <br>> themselves. One of the people there would have had to sign a complaint as a <br>> policeman is just a witness for the court so can not charge anyone based on <br>> someone's account.<br>> <br>> A legally obtained gun is not illegal to own or carry, only to conceal <br>> without the proper permit. You can walk around wearing a shoulder harness <br>> or side holster without being charged even if others may be intimidated by <br>> it's very presence. Of course, you may not be the most popular man about <br>> town in doing so.<br>> <br>> Sometimes knowing you have the power to do something and not exercising that <br>> right is more powerful than going out of your way to prove how powerful you <br>> are.

Public Hearing - Proposed Zoning Code Amendment to Define Affected <br>> >Person; Clarifying Type I and Type II Hearings; and Establishing Procedures <br>> >Related to Appeals - Randy Fife<br>> ><br>> >The purpose of the Ordinance is to clarify and standardize procedures in <br>> >several areas which have been subject to more scrutiny in the last few <br>> >years and to establish procedures and standards so that there is more <br>> >predictability and consistency in the Zoning Code in matters related to <br>> >appeals of land use decisions. The proposed Ordinance clarifies appeals <br>> >from a determination made by the Zoning Administrator on matters of <br>> >interpretation and enforcement of the Zoning Code. The proposal also makes <br>> >consistent language related to Type II Quasi-Judicial hearings and defines <br>> >the term "affected person" in order to establish who has legal standing to <br>> >file a land use appeal with the Board of Adjustment and/or the City <br>> >Council. Planning and Zoning Commission considered a proposed Ordinance at <br>> >a public hearing held on July 25, 2007 and recommended approval on August <br>> >8, 2007.

Among other things, it reduces the number <br>> >of people who can live together as a single family unit from six (6) to <br>> >four (4); it defines with more precision what constitutes "living together <br>> >as a single family unit" and creates a category for people who are living <br>> >together as a single family unit but who are not married or related to all <br>> >others. Additionally, the proposed Ordinance creates a "residential rental <br>> >unit" which allows five (5) or six (6) people to live together as a single <br>> >family unit upon the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit in FR, SR, R-1, <br>> >R-2, and R-3 and allows a residential rental unit by right in AF, R-4, RO, <br>> >NB, CB, GB and MB. A residential unit is not allowed in the RTO or I <br>> >Zoning Districts. The attached draft Ordinance has been prepared pursuant <br>> >to direction given by City Council. The Planning and Zoning Commission <br>> >considered the matter on July 1!<br>> > 1, 2007.
