[Durham INC] Oops: Baker. Not Byker. Herald-Sun on billboards today: inspections, delays, threats to return

[pbaker8667 at aol.com]

Hey Kelly!!

Given how much we both are in the paper, I am surprised there has not been more confusion with our names.  When he was with the Chamber during my first stint in the City Attorney's office I was 15 minutes into a meeting with a business owner before we realized he thought he was meeting with Patrick Byker.

Carry on!!  

Patrick BAker

Message to self: Drink coffee before reading papers. That's Baker quoted below, not Byker. Hey, Patrick--don't give them any ideas!

So the Herald-Sun confirms that Fairway & Byker will request to postpone the public hearing on billboards at the Monday BOCC meeting.

More interesting: like The Terminator, Byker promises "they'll be back" with the same request for another council. So fasten your seatbelts, its going to be a bumpy night.

FROM TODAY'S HERALD SUN: Both the city and county say rezoning decisions that go against an applicant have to stand for at least a year before they'll accept a new request, unless sponsors modify it significantly or circumstances change. 

But City Attorney Patrick Baker said it's not possible to keep legislative requests off the agenda indefinitely.

"You know how democracy works, and sometimes you ask over and over and over again," Baker said. "You really can't prevent it from coming back again, particularly to another council."
