DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS Mayor Acromite introduced a letter from Roger Ludlam, 1760 Meadowwoods Trail, president of Meadowwoods Farm Homeowners Assn. Mr. Ludlam was concerned about the discharge of firearms in his neighborhood, asserting that the area often sounds like a war zone. Ludlam felt that Medina city codes did not adequately protect the peace and safety of citizens. City Attorney Batty said the city ordinance requires that a person be on their own property and 500 feet from any occupied dwelling or livestock when discharging a firearm. Terry Kingston, 1950 Meadowwoods Trail, said the issue was one of competing rights --the right to discharge firearms or the right to enjoy peace and safety. Kingston felt that firearm use should be banned in residential areas. Mark Christopher, 1795 Meadowwoods Trail, said shooting should be allowed only in scarcely populated areas of the city. Councilmember Mitchell said that the council should get input from Police Chief Rabenort before proceeding with any formal action.

The Planning Zoning Commission recommended that the conditional use permit and lot line rearrangement be approved. 184 Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Acromite to direct staff to prepare resolutions granting preliminary approval for the lot combination and granting a conditional use permit to Rebecca Duerr, 1575 Willow Drive, as per the Planning Commission's recommendation.

Councilmember Zietlow noted that Klages owed the city $359.73 for delinquent utility bills. Wanda Klages said the unpaid bills would be paid immediately. Councilmember Mitchell said staff should make a distinction between Klages' request and the Clyde Libby case in which Libby claimed he was wrongfully denied a variance for two lots deemed unbuildable.

Swanson said the property was a hardship since little else could be done with the site because of poor soil conditions. 185 Kohnen agreed that soil conditions were poor because of highly organic soils. Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow, to direct staff to prepare a resolution granting the conditional use permit and variance to Tom Swanson of G.L.
