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 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.

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. For more fire prevention tips contact Kellie at 952/960- 1692.
