po i alls D | The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, April 1,1998 “5 Park (continued from page 1) section of the ordinance on race- tracks was relevant. McNealis argued that Cornell does not have sufficient screening as required by the ordinance. Higgs maintained that the section on screening was essentially hid- den from anyone who only looked at the yard and area reference chart. The board made a 3-2 vote for Cornell. Fred Valentine and Will Conyngham voted against him. N -'McNealis questioned the ordinance’s validity. The board of supervisors granted Cornell a con- ditional temporary use permit in May. This permit, which is re- newed annually, does not require zoning board input. He said the ordinance was too broad in its definition of a condi- tional temporary use and clashed with recent state legislation. The board rejected the argu- ment because it was not raised until after the 30-day appeal pe- riod. Also, McNealis argued that a section in the ordinance on race tracks states that automobile race tracks require approval from the zoning hearing board. Again the board rejected the argument because it was not raised within the set appeal pe- riod. McNealis said his client is ap- pealing all of the issues in the Luzerne County Court of Com- mon Pleas. Higgs said the vote was “not totally unexpected.” He said now many questions must be answered by the board of supervisors, since the zoning board cannot issue penalties. For example, “If there is a violation, what is the pen- alty?” ‘Higgs said he is not sure if they will appeal the decision.

In New York he started writing plays. Miller answered students’ ques- tions about the realities of acting as a profession, such as auditions and what it takes to get roles.
