Planning Commission Notes
THE TERM "NONCONFORMITY" is
encountered frequently in planning
discussions. It might seem that the
word has a pejorative ring to it, but
from a planning perspective that is
not necessarily the case. Essentially,
a nonconforming property is any
situation in which strucrures that reside
on a property or the use to which the
property is put are not consistent with
the zoning code. The zoning code is
the set of rules that delineates how
owners may use their property. For
example, the zoning code specifies
distances from property lines (called
"setbacks) in which no structures are
supposed to reside. In instances where
a strucrure does encroach on a setback
area, that structure is referred to as
"non-conform ing. "
Non-conforming properties can be
either existing lor proposed. In the
case of a proposed non-conformity, the
property owner is effectively asking
the City for an exception to the rules.
Such a request is called a "variance"
and requires approval by the City
Council after a public hearing by the
Planning Commission. Variances have
been discussed in this space previously.
The focus here, however, is on existing
non-conformities, not proposed ones.
Non-conformities may exist because
a variance was granted in the past.
However, variances are not often
granted. Thus, most existing non-
conformities are the result of changes
to the zoning code that cause previously
compliant properties to no longer meet
zoning regulations. These properties
that were in compliance with an old
version of the zoning code (or were
platted and built upon prior to any
zoning code being in force) are typically
"grandfathered in" when changes
are made. That is, nonconforming
properties need not be changed to meet
the current zoning requirements just
because the code was revised. One can
find many instances in the northeastern
and western parts of the City where
properties contain structures that were
built before the first zoning code was
adopted in 1956, when the City was
incorporated (or before 1973 when
major modifications of the zoning
code occurred). Often those structures
lie within setback areas established by
the current zoning code. However, the
City does not require that the owners
move those structures to comply with
the current setback rules.
Just because a property's use or its
structures are grandfathered, does not
mean that the owner has carte blanche
with respect to the existing non-
conformity. The zoning code prevents
the property owner from increasing the
non-conformity. For example, owners
may not add on to a non-conforming
structure, although they are allowed
to maintain the structure in its current
condition. Further, a property owner
with a non-conforming structure
will not be granted a conditional use
permit to build additional strucrures or
subdivide his or her property until the
non-conformity is resolved. Finally,
if a non-conforming structure is
destroyed to an extent that over 50%
of its value is lost, then the structure
must be brought into conformity or
removed entirely. The point of these
rules is to provide an incentive for
owners to ultimately eliminate the
non-conformities.

THE SHonE REPORT / OCTOBER 2006
Firefighters Open House
Excelsior Firefighters
Fire Prevention Open House: Thurs., Oct. 12; 6 - 8:30 PM
Station #1,24100 Smithtown Rd., Shorewood
THIS YEAR'S FIRE PREVENTION WEEK focuses on how to avoid stirring up trouble in
the kitchen. The leading cause of home fires is cooking. The latest statistics show
that fire kills II people each day in the United States. Cooking equipment is involved
in more than 100,000 reported home fires each year, and most of those occur on the
stovetop. Most cooking fires occur because of unattended cooking.
This years Fire Prevention Open House and Safety Fair is packed with live
demonstrations. A new addition this year is the ventilation trailor. This demonstration
will show residents how fire fighters release heat and toxic gases from a structure fire.
There will also be demonstrations on car extrication, sprinkler, air bag deployment,
and the opportunity for a hands-on experience with a fire extinguisher! Sparky and
the firefighters will be ready to greet everyone and are always available for hugs and
pictures.
There is on site parking for your convenience and the fire department will provide
dinner, including free hot dogs, popcorn, cookies, and McDonalds' orange drink. Cold
Stone Creamery will be handing out ice cream while supplies last.
For more information and demonstration times call the Excelsior Fire District
Information line at 952/960-1698 or kmurphyringate@excelsior.org.
Do Your Part-And Save Money
No ONE WOULD throw a $1 O-bill into the wind just to watch it blow away, but people
don't hesitate to let that same $10 blow away through their utility bill. By doing
your part to reduce your energy consumption, you are not only helping clean up the
earth, you are also reducing the countries dependence upon foreign oil and saving
money in the process! Everyone wins. A few easy things to start with:
Unplug
o Unplug seldom-used appliances, like an extra refrigerator in the basement or garage
that contains just a few items. This can save up to $10 every month on your utility
bill.
o Unplug your chargers when you're not charging. Every house is full of little plastic
power supplies to charge cell phones, PDA's, digital cameras, cordless tools and
other personal gadgets. Keep them unplugged until you need them.
o Use power strips to switch off televisions, home theater equipment, etc. when you're
not using them. Even when you think these products are off, together, their "standby"
consumption can be equal to a 75W - lOOW light bulb running cpntinuously.
Set Computers to Sleep and Hibernate
o Enable the "sleep mode" feature on your computer, allowing it to use less power
during periods of inactivity. In Windows, the power management settings are found
on your control panel. Mac users, look for energy saving settings under system
preferences in the Apple menu.
o Configure your computer to "hibernate" automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity.
The "hibernate mode" turns the computer off in a way that doesn't require you to
reload everything when you switch it back on.
Turn Out the Lights
o Not just at home, but also at the office, too. Turn out or dim the lights in unused
conference rooms, and when you step out for lunch, meetings, or when you leave
for the evening.

Prevent
Cooking Fires
o Pay attention to your cooking. Stay
in the kitchen when you are frying,
grilling, broiling, or boiling food.
o Children should be taught that cooking
equipment, pots, pans, fryers, stove
tops, ovens, and microwaves are
cooking tools for adults, not items
to be played with. Children should
be taught to ask permission before
cooking and they should be taught how
to use cooking equipment properly and
how to follow cooking instructions on
labels.
o Teach family members to follow
cooking instructions, especially
microwavable items. Some food items
can start a microwave on fire if they are
over heated.
o When you are simmering, baking, or
roasting food, check it regularly, stay
at home, and use a timer. Purchase a
portable timer and take it with you if
you are entertaining outside of the area
you are cooking in.
o I f you have small ch ildren try to
use the back burners and keep hot
pots, crockpots, and other cooking
equipment, and the cords attached to
them, out of little ones reach.
o Keep children and pets at least 3-feet
away from the stove and any items that
can bum. Remember steam can also
burn.
o When cooking with oil make sure you
follow the instructions for the cooking
equipment it is used in and follow the
recommend temperature for heating the
oil. Only use the recommend cooking
oil for a turkey or any other types of
fryers. Different types of cooking oil
have become popular over the years
and most oils have a different ignition
temperature. Make sure you use the
proper temperature to heat up the oil.
For example, peanut oil will start on
fire if it is heated on high.
