Wednesday, March 18, 2015 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon MONARCHS: Citizens can help create habitat for butterflies CITy: Council agreed to planning commission recommendations Continued from page 12 Continued from page 1 Scents and colors from flow- ers are discovered by the insect’s antennae and multi- faceted eyes and the butterfly has its first taste of nectar. It then, by some unknown pro- cess of navigation, continues north to it’s summer home, but stopping along the way to breed new travelers — up to five generations. It is at this point that the new butterfly will be capable of surviving IF it has feeding and reproductive plants and habitat, which we can — and must —supply with monarch way-stations. They can be created by planting milkweed seeds or rhizomes, and planting native wildflower seeds. It’s as easy as that. Visit http://www. monarchwatch.org/waysta- tions/ for more instructions, and/or contact me: jim@ northwestnaturalist.net for local supplies of milkweed seeds, rhizomes, and native wildflower plants. same day the decisions are mailed to the applicants, so all necessary parties receive notification at the same time. Text amendments now allow distilleries in the North Sisters Business Park and businesses like automo- tive sales in the light indus- trial zone. Home businesses are also now allowed in the downtown commercial zone provided they meet the requirements as far as number of employees and deliveries per day. Formula food establish- ments (FFEs) with over 20 outlets (the number unani- mously approved by the Planning Commission) will be regulated in Sisters, with none in Sun Ranch and North Sisters Business Park, and one in the downtown com- mercial district. That slot is currently filled by Dutch Bros. coffee. The number was raised from 13 to 20 to allow for some Central Oregon photo by JiM Cornelius Back-in parking — unpopular, spottily complied with, and soon to be gone. establishments with more than 13 outlets to be able to do business in Sisters. The Planning Commission will further discuss FFEs in the highway commercial district, where determination is now made based on spac- ing. The approved restrictions don’t apply to restaurants connected to theaters or over- night lodging. There has been talk of potential interest on the part of McMenamins in the Conklin Guesthouse prop- erty across from the airport. Ordinance #457 amends the municipal code banning the feeding of deer within the city limits, to keep them from being a nuisance and attract- ing cougars to the area, and to encourage their natural migration patterns. Another possible solution to the overly bright street- lights on Cascade Avenue is installed as a test on the light located on the northwest cor- ner of Cascade and Spruce by Metolius Properties. The south and east panes of glass are frosted so the light bulb is not visible. There is also an inline resister installed which acts as a dimmer that can reduce the light up to 60 percent. It is currently set at 20 percent. Citizens are encouraged to take a look at the light after dark and share their impressions with the City. The new City website is receiving some final adjust- ments and is expected to be up and running within the next two weeks.
