22 Wednesday, July 27, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon PErMIt: Skydiving is permitted use at Sisters airport Continued from page 1 property, Shane Lundgren, requesting that he either dis- allow parachute landings on the property or submit an application for a conditional- use permit for the activ- ity. Alternatively, Skydive Awesome could apply for the permit. Davenport sent the letter to Lundgren last Friday, not- ing that City code “allows Recreation Uses (outdoors) in the North Sisters Business Park only with an approved Conditional Use Permit.” Skydiving is an outright permitted use at the airport itself. Davenport acknowledged that the City did not request a permit application when the skydiving operation launched in Sisters. “We did not ask where COuNtrY fAIr: Event supports community programs Continued from page 3 program.

We should have asked them where, before approving the business license. But they should have asked us, too — where they can land.” Davenport stated in the letter that “continuing the use in the NSBP without appro- priate land use approvals, or in the Sun Ranch Residential District under any circum- stances, is a violation of the Development Code.” Such violations carry the possibility of “fines and other penalties.” However, the letter notes that “the City finds that most violations are the result of unfamiliarity with the require- ments of property owners under the Development Code. In the vast majority of cases, property owners correct the situation without the need for formal code-enforcement action.” and craft items.

Oregon State Police opened a missing person investigation for the men after their vehi- cle was found north of the trailhead in September 2014. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports they were ages 59 and 32, respectively, at that time. U.S. Forest Service work- ers in the area conducting a survey discovered the bodies. The investigation is ongo- ing but the sheriff’s office says evidence at the scene indicates the men died as a result of a murder-suicide. allocations 7 p.m. regular meeting • Award Community Grant Funds for fiscal year 2016/17 • 7:30 p.m. (approximate) executive • Pursuant to ORS: 192.660(2)(h) legal counsel reprimand, fine for uO psychologist over records SALEM (AP) — A state licensing board has imposed a fine of $2,500 for the head of the University of Oregon’s counseling office for alleg- edly releasing a student’s counseling records to the uni- versity’s lawyers without the student’s permission.
