VII NO. 17 Milford, Utah 84751 APRIL 24, 1997 5th Grade Sesquicentennial Activity Peterson Pushes P & Z Circle 4 Farms application for a conditional use permit to add 12,000 head nursery and finishing bams at sites 209, 2 0, 322 and 323 has been tabled until Circle 4 shows what steps are being taken to mitigate the odor problem. Visitors at the April 16 meeting objected to the concentration of an additional 48,000 animals without odor control measures in place. Following the unanimous vote, Warren Peterson, attorney in behalf of Circle Four presented board chairman Ken Realty, Lofland with a letter objecting to comments made in public meetings. The letter further instructs the board in the use of a check list as related to permit applications. "For instance, the managers of the Circle Four project and I asked Beaver County to upgrade its zoning ordinance in 1992 so that Beaver County would have adequate review process for the various permit applications Circle Four intended to submit, " the letter states. He added that Circle Four has not improperly influenced public officials. County Attorney Leo Kanell attended the meeting and conferred privately with Peterson. He did not offer comment to board members on the letter during the meeting. Check list items which may have had a determining effect on the vote include: h. There will not be a harmful effect upon k. desirable neighborhood characteristics, The negative impacts of the proposed use are mitigated. I. The proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use would not be detrimental to the public interests, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the County. Odor, which has traveled much farther than expected, could be construed as having a harmful, negative and detrimental effect.

The Base Commander called me into his office to express his regrets and that he could not get me home in time for the funeral, but if 1 would w ait until September, he would let me go home for 30 day s. September 1st Pres. Roosevelt declared a national emergency so it was a year before I got home. Until I came home I hadn't fully realized how much Mom had meant to the family. Dad was here but the heart of the family had left w ith Mom. I left here for Washington D. C. to attend Radio School. A city can be such a lonely place and was still thinking about Mom. How the family had revolved around her and that old wood cook stove. There was a reservoir at the left end where hot water could always be found. There was also a warming oven above the stove and she always had a platter of crisp bacon, often pork chops and steak. No doubt, after hours in the oven, they were dry and tough but to a hungry bay. it was perfect. One evening I went to a nice restaurant on Pcnnsyhania Ave. 1 told the waitress that wanted a steak, very well done and for the cook to burn it if necessary ! (I shouldn't have said that) It was only a moment until the Chef came out. overwhelming in his spotless white uniform and tall puffy Chefs hat. He came straight o cr to my table. (Why do these things happen to me?) All I wanted was a well done steak! I felt about one foot tall and knew that e cry one was looking at me. wondering what this Sailor could have done The Chef had dozens of reasons why I didn't want my steak cooked in that manner. So to get rid of him. I agreed to a steak done just as he knew I 1 o Back row: Holly Willden. Rachel Holm. Jays P. Smith. Tiffany Asay. Heather Willis. Laura Stewart. Amanda Pierce.

Leko because of property ownership and Smith because of the newspaper. A previous P & Z board member, Larry Sower, was editor and publisher of the newspaper from January 1, 1991 to April 30, Cindy 1994, before selling it to Smith. Peterson, P & Z secretary, says she can find no record in the minutes, or in a disclosure statement, of Sower relating to his association to the paper as a conflict of interest. Sower's signature, as a Circle 4 representative, appears on at least three conditional use permit applications dated during the time he was a Planning and Zoning Board member. Two of these three permits do not have an odor control clause. Conflict was not cited as an issue because Sower abstained from the actual Public-Officer- s voting. Full research has not been completed determine declaration of conflict with to regard to property ownership. It is unclear why Peterson submitted the letter in behalf of Circle Four Realty instead of Circle Four Farms. Workers, who say they are afraid to be named, report that rumors of cutbacks are not directly related to tabling the permit applications. They say the Henrie layoff was actually announced before the P & Z vote. Request for a CID to upgrade roads servicing the farms was withdrawn earlier this month. Although the road work is needed, the as previously written, was proposal, unacceptable. Editors Note: The Monitor contacted P & Z for a copy of Peterson 's letter.
