Police Officers use Geo Crime Mapping to view both criminal trends and hot spots throughout the city. The WPD is able to formulate special assignments to combat crime with this information. Yearly statistical information for the WPD will soon be available for review. *****Action: Receive and file. 4. Wichita Fire Department Report Captain Mike Malter, WFD Station 21, gave a brief update on the activities at Station 21. In November, Station 21 was dispatched to two residential fires. The first residential fire started in a bedroom and spread to the adjacent bedroom where it was finally extinguished. The fire caused $72,000 in both property damages and contents. WFD investigation indicated the cause of fire was a lighter in the bedroom. The second residential fire involved the whole structure causing $100,000 in both property damages and contents. The WFD investigation indicated that the cause of fire was a fireplace that got out of hand. The WFD would like to advocate homeowners to practice fireplace safety.

Miller Engineering (Kirk Miller) have requested to amend the net parcel area to various parcels in a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The proposed site is currently zoned Limited Commercial (LC) and is 12.13 acres in size. The site is located at the southeast corner of West 13th Street North and North Tyler Road. The DAB members were provided with the MAPD staff report with a recommendation to approve. Members of the DAB and the public asked the following questions: DAB? Is there sufficient space for parking with the proposed size of the building? A: Adequate parking is required and has to be met for this site to be developed. DAB? Will this area continue to develop? Northwest High School is close to traffic along Tyler and it will continue to increase. A stop light along Tyler would help maintain traffic safety. A: I will refer that question to the Traffic Engineer. Several members of the public spoke to the DAB with concerns regarding the height of the proposed structure and if the proposed site had sufficient parking for the customers.  Minutes 3 December 15, 2014 *****Action: (Hill /Johnston) made the motion to recommend approval for the amendment to the CUP with the following conditions: 1.
