| Hunting
on private land, water availability discussed at Mendon
P&Z
By Cody Gochnour
September 21, 2007 | MENDON -- The City Planning and
Zoning Commission discussed changes to the Mendon City
General Plan.
Commission member Jason Wooden suggested a goal to
secure funding for snow monitoring sites in the Wellsville
Range. These would allow officials to more accurately
predict water availability and enable the city to better
control its water usage.
The name of Mendon's water source was struck from
the plan in compliance with Homeland Security measures.
Hunting privileges were also discussed. City Councilwoman
Leslie Larson stated that it would be unfair to deny
owners of large parcels of land the right to hunt on
their own property, should the city annex that land.
The decision was made to refer to state law except that
discharge of a firearm would be allowed on large agricultural
lots provided points such as legal distance from a dwelling
and not hunting on cultivated ground without permission
were met.
Commission member Ruth Cartee then discussed changes
to Mendon's subdivision ordinances.
