This unimproved road will be finished with the cost of development going to the three developers who have property fronting on 800 East. The street will be 60 feet wide. 780 new feet will be added to the existing road. Curb, gutter, sidewalk and water lines sufficient in size to handle commercial fire flow requirements will be part of the project. Two lien waivers were approved by the council. Robert D. Acres, a development just across the street from the Valley View golf course was granted a lien waiver. The second waiver went to Ivan W. Flint who plans to build a new home for his son at 228 W. Phillips Street. OVER A year ago a development comapproached the pany called Vorelco-Harri- s city council with a rezone request on some property north of Antelope Drive on Hill Field Road. The purpose of the request to rezone the property from RM to CP-- 2 was to build a Volkswagen car dealership on the site. The council gave approval if the project were started in six months. Since that has received two six time Vorelco-Harri- s month extensions. Thursday evening Jean Denning, repreasked for a third exsenting Vorelco-Harri- s tension. She said the developers came up in the black for the first time in many months. They want to do something with the property but there is nothing definite enough to present at this time. The intent is to get a new dealership in there, Ms. Denning stated. THE PLANNING commission recommended denying the request. The opinion cited the denial of an extension request on some property directly across the street. The city council members went contrary to the planning commission recommendation and granted a six month extension. LAKELAND Subdivision Phase 2, a 48 lot project north of North Layton Junior High School on 1200 West was given final approval. Lot sizes in the subdivision are 5,000 square feet or larger.

Council members stated they needed more time to study the issue before voting on it. FINALLY, the council approved the North Davis Sewer District book of ordinances. This was a necessary revised ordinance code prepared by the sewer district to bring it in conformity with EPA requirements. Councilman Golden Sill, chairman of the sewer district informed the other council members that four and one-hamillion dollars will be needed very soon to upgrade and enlarge the sewer plant to meet the growing needs of this area and to bring the project into conformity with the EPA regulations. He said the district will propose a general obligation bond issue. If the bond issue doesnt pass a vote of the peoile then the cost for the project will be in the form of a rate increase. lf Layton Council OKs Trespass Ordinance - Last Thursday LAYTON evening the Layton City council unanimously passed a new more comprehensive criminal trespassing ordinance. ACCORDING to Assistant City Attorney, Steve Wall who prepared the new ordinance, the reason for the change is to make it easier for the city to define and prosecute cases of criminal trespassing. In the past, many citizen complaints have gone unanswered be- cause the city attorneys have not felt comfortable prosecuting under the existing sta- tute. For example, the existing ordinance talks mostly about intrusions upon private property to do damage like remove animals or timber. The present law doesnt address entering a home or property for purposes other than burglary. If a person walks into an open door at a residence, he could not be prosecuted under the present ordinance. THE NEW ordinance adopted last Thursday will be general enough in nature to handle the examples given above. Excluded from the trespassing ordinance are individuals who can be on your property like a mailman. ACCORDING to Mr. Wall, the new Layton trespassing ordinance is basically the same as the Utah state criminal trespassing statute. Criminal trespassing is a Class B misdemeanor. The maximum punishment is $299 fine and six months in jail, dmg OK Crossing Signal - An automatic railroad crossing signaling LAYTON device will be installed on the King Street crossing of the railroad tracks. ON JUNE 8 Layton City and the Utah Department of Transportation signed a cooperative agreement that will allow the construction of this safety device. The cost for the warning signals will be $150,000. Financing will come mostly from the federal government. Laytons share of expense in the project is $15,000. THE KING Street crossing has been very dangerous. Over the years several people have been killed because the visibility approaching the railroad tracks is so poor. The $150,000 project includes redesigning the crossing, paving, road repair and a safety device, dmg 3 I r F I |
