Jamestown, ND (KCSi -T.V. News Sept 19, 2012) – The City of Jamestown is in the process of developing a planning Ordinance, having recently taken public input, and reviewing planning Ordinances in place by other North Dakota cities.

At Tuesday’s Building, Planning & Zoning Committee, the consensus of the committee members was to have a draft of an Ordinance for a review by the committee.

A Jamestown meeting concerning planning was held Wednesday afternoon (Sept 19, 2012), with members of the Jamestown City Council, Stutsman County Commission, and the Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corporation, with Cindy Gray from SRF Consulting.

Ms. Gray, a planner (American Institute of Certified Planners)

with over 27 years of experience, discussed the role of City/County development planning.

Planning topics included:

The North Dakota Century Code and the manner in which it addresses planning and zoning for cities and their extraterritorial area.

The role of planners and the relationship between planning staff and elected officials, planning commissions, citizens, developers, and other city staff or consultants

Comprehensive Plans,

Land Use Planning,

Master Planning of development areas

Zoning

Growth management.

Ms. Gray addressed the potential growth from the planned Cenex Harvest States Spiritwood Nitrogen Project.

She says a challenge is short-term housing for construction workers and the permanent housing for the plant’s staff.

She suggested adding a temporary trailer park or other mobile housing..

Gray pointed out that the construction workers are more apt to rent a home or apartment while the permanent workers at the plant are more likely to buy homes.

Mayor Katie Andersen said the city is trying to address that problem of experiencing growth.

 

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A Texas man has pleaded not guilty in
North Dakota to assaulting a sheriff’s deputy, escaping custody and
burglarizing a farmstead.

Northwood on suspicion of being drunk and in control of a vehicle
on July 13.

They allege he slipped out of his handcuffs, assaulted
the deputy and fled on foot, eventually being apprehended in a
wheat field.

farmstead before he was caught.
Calder told a judge he is in North Dakota working in the western
oil patch and commuting from an apartment in the eastern town of
Northwood because it is cheaper.

sentenced to two years in prison for running over an ex-tenant with
his Hummer has appealed to the North Dakota Supreme Court.

consider the vehicle a dangerous weapon in the February 2011
incident.

The Supreme Court will rule later.

 

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The chairman of North Dakota’s campaign to
make marijuana legal as a pain reliever says he’s hoping the issue
doesn’t fade away.

petition drive. But he says he believes other activists will take
up the cause.
     An initiative in favor of medical marijuana was kept off North
Dakota’s November ballot because of alleged petition fraud.
     Zaiser appealed to the North Dakota Supreme Court, but the high
court refused to intervene in his favor.

ballot elsewhere this fall.
     Zaiser believes people across the country are becoming more
accepting of the idea of using marijuana as a pain reliever instead
of narcotics.

numbers Thursday.

and Senate appropriations committees.
     House Appropriations Chairman Jeff Delzer of Underwood says he’s
hoping the numbers aren’t too optimistic.

He says previous surplus estimates have turned out to be accurate.
     The numbers count on a continuing increase in North Dakota’s oil
production.
     The state is now producing about 674,000 barrels a day.

The budget estimates assume production will rise to about 850,000
barrels a day within two years.

stationed in the oil patch region of western North Dakota.

university system has ordered Williston State College to stop
housing foreign workers.

fill fast-food and other jobs in the oil boom town.

chancellor Hamid Shirvani says housing foreign workers at the
college “raises legitimate safety and security concerns.” He says
it’s a misuse of the school’s facilities.
     College President Ray Nadolny says the contract with
Maryland-based United Work and Travel to house the workers ends
this month.

workers were foreign college students who came to the U.S. under an
international cultural exchange program.

employee to benefit another company.

 WASHINGTON (AP) – Analysts say that taken as a whole, the latest
