Frequently the startled skunks perfume the neighborhood with their offensive defensive spray. Chances are good of getting the persistent smelly spray on a pet, on clothing or in a room even in the house when the door has been left warns Gar open ters with by PatMellor County Commissioners Tuesday characterized a proposed addition to the development code of Sanpete County as "unacceptable", The proposal originated with the Division of Wildlife Resources and the Utah State Attorney General. At the last meeting of the Sanpete County Planning Commission, a DWR official explained that in other areas of the state, the Division had experienced problems with landowners who bought subdivision property on critical winter range land and then landscaped, ultimately experiencing difficulties with deer damage. The Division representative proposed that the Planning Commission include in the development code a provision that persons who develop homesites on deer range areas must accept wildlife damage as a part of living in such places. At that time the Planning Commission approved the concept and commissioned the Division of Wildlife Resources, in the absence of County Attorney Paul Frischknecht, to pursue a proposed ordinance drafted by the Attorney Generals office. 283-460- ng !J0(?MiD(g A voice vote of those present at indicated all . Planning Commission seven members of the planning commission accepted the concept proposed. But County Commission Chairman Newt Donaldson on Tuesday read a proposed ordinance sent down by the Attorney General which reads: "Every subdivision for residential construction approved by the County shall require and stipulate that every owner of a residential lot or other property within said subdivision shall take and hold such property subject to the prospect that various species of wildlife from time to time and from season to season come upon the premises and cause damage thereto, and each owner or occupier of any such residential lot or other property specifically waives each and every claim of any kind or nature whatsoever for any damage caused by any species of wildlife. I think its unconstitutional," Chairman Donaldson opined. Theres no point in even copying it to send around to the Planning Commission members because we (the County Commission) would never vote for it." "I doubt very many people would ever complain anyway (about deer damage)", Donaldson added. - AT LAST, A QUALITY EXTERIOR STAIN Sheriffs office faces UoOPlaeo ISO For reasons other than their bad smell, Workman noted that skunks are considered both beneficial and a nuisance.
