We require property owners who don't have city-sewage hookups, to install their septic tanks and maintain them in certain defined configurations which estop them from contaminating the neighbor's well. I don't know if that's a good idea or not - but I haven't seen sentiment against sewage regulation of property owners. So why should we be terribly upset about an ordinance which makes it illegal to operate a residential kitchen and a residential sewge-disposal operation in a city park or a city sidewalk?
As long as you are enforcing it on everyone, I don't think you'd have a problem, but to force some one from cooking food for homeless people, and allow a family barbeque, is IMO wrong. If it is unsafe/unsanitary to cook food in a certain way, it is unsafe/unsanitary. Selective enforcement is wrong. Force the yuppies on a sunday afternoon barbeque to get a permit and see how long the law lasts. Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com <prefered for any non-list stuff> snow@smoke.suba.com
