Show A4 DAVIS COUNTY CLIPPER See Nielsen Page A3 city council in the 980s is that careful planning is the key. Tough questions have to be asked and those who are proposing new subdivisions or commercial developments must commit to a high standard that will create growth we can all live with for years to come. Safe, friendly neighborhoods are Centervilles greatest asset, careful planning and review will preserve 1 them. Question 2: Centerville is a city of mostly young families. Our recreation programs are full and young people need the outlet of organized sports in order to be Tuesday, October 26, 1993 involved in positive activities. The land for the new city park was purchased several years ago and since that time the city has taken advantage of some available state grant funding and has done a lot of work on the park on a pay as you go basis. When the city property on Parrish Lane where the ball fields are now located is sold in the future, adequate proceeds must be set aside to complete the new park quickly to be ready to handle recreation activities. In this way, no additional tax revenues will be required. This was the intent of the council when the land was originally purchased. CARLIN W. JACOBSON Question 1: The most important issue facing the city at this time is the question of future development. Development to me means a lot more than narrow issues of zoning and planning. Rather, it is the development of our children that is the most important issue facing the city and its citizens. How can the city help? I believe the city should provocatively support the promotion of good recreational and educational programs for the youth of the community. The citys involvement should be in helping provide the facilities (soccer fields, baseball FARMINGTON Question 1: What is the most important issue facing your city at this time and how would you address it?

This way the city can maximize the opportunities for our youth while minimizing the impact on city revenues. Question 2: On the other development issue, i.e., zoning and planning, the city should be very diligent in ensuring that any future Mayor 1: The most pressing in issue Farmington is growth. situated between the major Ideally Question i . '? place to live. As the city adopted a new Comprehensive General Plan, I pushed for strict development standards so that Farmington can shape and soften the impact of development. Certainly, landowners have a right to develop their land consistent with law; but if developers had better road system between subdivisions. I want future growth to pay for itself as our Utah Supreme Court has mandated. The boundaries of our commercial areas at Shepard and US 89, Lagoon and downtown should be clearly drawn so our businesses can flourish there, while assuring residents that commercial wont encroach on their neighborhoods. We can control the economic and physical impacts of development through good planning, strong ordinances and by imposing a fair share of the real costs of development on developers. Managed properly, growth should add to our city resources, not increase demand for existing city resources. Question 2: Farmingtons current foothill ordinance was amended this year to give needed protection to our foothills. No construction can occur on a slope of 30 percent or greater. With lesser grades there is a sliding scale of density: the more slope the lesser the density. Even with the density restric- - established guidelines which limits the density of hillside development above certain elevations. If that plan is enforced residents and developers will be protected. Leaders need to be sure that plan is implemented. We also need to 5,000 square feet of buildable land. The ordinance also restricts the slope of new roads to make them manageable in winter and to keep speeds in residential areas within policy I would continue. With these standards the city is in an excellent position to manage our foothills effectively and fairly for all concerned. better about ourselves nance states; the steeper the slope, residents or jeopardize the neighborhood. The City Master Plan ordinance needs to be strengthened.

KEMP , , Question 1: Growth is the most important issue facing North Salt Lake today! I believe our city is growing so rapidly because the residents have created a nice place to live and now others have noticed, and want the same. I am proud of what our city has to offer. During the eight years that I served on the city council, we planned for growth. (Councilman 1982-198two of mayor pro-ter- n those years). I believe that this prior I feel the most important issue in our city is growth and how we will face it. It will really make a difference who is on the city council and is mayor. We need to be open with the citizens of whats going on, and try to gain as much input from everyone. North Salt Lake has a bright future ahead. Question 2: I want to seek and encourage environmentally sound businesses to our industrial park. I want to look at our city and see what else we can reasonably do to encourage a good environment. I want to work together as a team politically. There are a lot of good people in our city who want to help in this process if they had an opportunity. Let's encourage teamwork. Every year, we can promote beautification projects throughout North Salt Lake. Lets include all of those who want to help. TERRY GRAMOLL CARLSON Question 1: As a city council member, I would encourage th sights and smells that were associated with this area. We also know that this problem is a thing of the past. North Salt Lake is not an extension of the problem areas of Salt Lake City, it is likewise not a subdivision of the refineries. As the mayor, I would invite government and business leaders to visit our city, provide opportunities for visitors at local fairs and celebrations to see a presentation of North Salt Lake, and sponsor activities that will draw residents of neighboring cities to participate. We need to promote who and what we are and not promulgate the misconceptions. planning. We need to direct our growth development in directions that we, as citizens, want to live with, so we can determine our future. By using development opportunities wisely, it gives the city options for future enhancement of its image and economic base. I will address this and all other issues with thorough study so that I can make an intelligent decision based on my research and the desires of the citizens. Question 2: Enhancing our citys image is a responsibility shared by all. The city can continue to improve and maintain its properties. Citizens and businesses can do the same. The visual appeal can be enhanced with strategic green spaces throughout the city. I would encourage compliance with city ordinances concerning personal property and environmental concerns. As a city council member, I can do my part in projecting a positive image of our city by being open and responsible to the concerns of the people. ( |
