Thursday, December 2, 976 1 Council posses zoning change The OGDEN NORTH 3300 N. above property remaining was reclassified from R-- l to during a public hearing held by the City Council on Nov. 23. In explanation of the move, Mayor Eldon McColley told the assembly the change in zoning would increase the lot size from 10,000 feet to 12,500 square feet, thereby decreasing the population density of the area. He said this would decrease the density from 3.2 families per acre to 2.7 families per acre. He said the move would not rule out the Planned Residential Unit Developments (PURD) in any zone in the city, but he added that plans for such a development would have to go to the Planning Commission and eventually the city council before being approved. He also explained that everything being built in the city comes in at the R-- l zone and is then changed. He said the advantages of the larger' iocs is they cost more and so people build larger homes in the area. To a question as to whether or not the city could restrict the type of homes going into the area. Public Works Director, Dennis Shupe said nor- mally the contractor has a them from a size restriction. To this, Councilman Leland Erickson added it naturally followed that the bigger lots called for bigger houses. Mr. Jack Vogt asked the council how they had arrived at the 2.7 families per acre figure and was told by Councilman Alan Christiansen that they took the street area and other areas away from that used for housing and then arrived at the density per acre. He said originally the plan called for three families per acre. The council was asked if the storm runoff was considered when the 2.7 density figure wa arrived at. Mayor McColley said that was in the agreement with the contractor. He said the city was not going to supply water to the Lakeview of a major Heights Subdivision, concern to those present, but he said water had to be available and it had to satisfy the council before any phase was approved. The group was told there was not that much subsurface water in the area and since there would be no secondary water system in the area the council saw little difficulty with water. Mr. Vogt asked if a study had been made. Mayor McColley said the city engineer had made a study and the council was following his recommendation. Mr. Francis Warnick, newly appointed to the Planning Commission said the obvious runoff problem in the area was with natural precipitation and not with irrigation. He said the study on what the subsurface water would do, has not been made. Tbp council approved the zone CUn Aid v.
