CCL AT FARMINGTON e THE OFFICE led out in some areas, including formation of an annexation policy before the state acted. In the mid 1970s we tried to determine what programs we could implement and how to strengthen the cities and county for the public good. JOE MOORE By TOM BUSSELBERG FARMINGTON After six years, its time for County Planning Director Joseph HE HAS accepted a position as city planner for the newly formed West Valley City in Salt Lake County, and started work there last week, not even taking time for a breather. Reasons for the change didnt include any dislike for the employees in his department or county officials, Mr. Moore emphasizes. It had to do more with the challenge of working for one of the states largest cities, one that follows closely on the heels of Provo and Ogden for top ranking behind Salt Lake City in size. THE MOVE will be back to the area where he grew up that was actually in rural Midvale, but the Moore family home will remain in the Bountiful area, he says. During his six years as planning director, Mr. Moore says he saw the office grow from eight to 11 planners, and an office that saw a more formal organization and input into county and city growth throughout tthe county. COUNTY PLANNERS became involved as city planners on a contract basis to many of the countys 16 cities and have helped formulate master plans for most of them and been able Re- 1 PROPERTY S.L4 O. to bring professional knowledge to city councils and planning commissions and coordinate planning actions. Internal office reorganization saw implementation of areas for current and planning along with enforcement (of planning regulations) and inspection. "We tried to have experts in each area, the 35ish director says Moore to move on. 1 LAGOON property will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder on the 5th day of November, 1980 at 10:30 A.M. at the front door of the Davis County Court House at Farmington, Utah in the County of Davis, by SECURITY TITLE COMPANY, as Trustee under the Deed of Trust made by Raymond C.

The county planning office was also a "prime mover to get the state to buy over $1 million in easements to protect Hill AFB," Mr. Moore notes. SOME RATHER large projects the office, and Mr. Moore in particular, have had to deal with include formation of a hillside ordinance, one that will probably affect every Davis County city with hillside areas, he says, and an excavation ordinance, one that he called "the ordinance of the future for Utah." "Weve done some very unusual policy concepts unique in Utah, he says, pointing to a "fairly successful agricultural study that zeroed in on northwest Davis County, a prime agricultural sector. LAKE 9 n AND HE says the hillside study is considered unique. So much so, in fact, that Mr. Moore has been asked to sit on a national committee made up of state and federal officials and two planners, himself and the Los Angeles County planning director.

It divided the county into districts and I hope we will have some regular procedures. 1: v 0 N That program has been formulated to help coordinate growth plans for neighboring cities UNIT DEVELOPMENT, A Planned Residential De- velopment, as the same is identified in the Plat recorded in Book 586, Page 515 of Official Re- cords of Davis County, Utah, and in the Declar- ation of Covenants, Conditions and Restric- tions of the Somerset Farm Planned Unit a Planned Development, and the amendments thereto of record in the office of the Coun- ty Recorder of said County, for the purpose of paying obligations secured by said Deed of Trust including fees, charges and expenses of Trustee, advances, if any, under the terms of said Deed, interest thereon and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as in said Note and by law provided.

Looking at what the department has done over the past six years Mr. Moore is positive. Weve accomplished a lot. I would say in my personal view this is the finest small planning department in the state. The staff is committed and with as much potential as any." PUTTING in a good word for his bosses Mr. Moore says, The county commission has supported us, they've been wonderful bosses they've been wonderful to work for. 1 NED Some of his efforts include changing the relationship between the commission and mayors, he recalls. Speaking of the County Council of Governments he notes, "When I first came here, the commissioners sat up in the front (during monthly meetings) and the mayors sat in the audience. I RESTRUCTURED the room so the mayors and commissioners would sit around a table they were an association, he says, noting that, as director of the COG on a staff level, the planning office helped streamline some procedures in the meeting. "This COG really has a good spirit about it. Its a cooperative association they work together," Mr. Moore says, adding that isnt always the case elsewhere. LOOKING TO his new assignment Mr. Moore says, The county planning director doesnt get intimately in- volved (in various operations). You're more of an administrator. But working with the city Im the head of a new department, beginning my own. He says his plans include working for "more functional areas in city government that would include possible consideration of combining a number of city departments that relate to planning. UNTIL JAN. 1, an agreement has been reached with Salt Lake County for their planning office to continue providing planning assistance. He will be the sole city employee until then. It will probably give us the chance to be really involved in the building process, since it's an instant big city where it takes most cities years, he says. 40-5- 0 acrbs By DONETA GATHERUM If you have lived in Utah one, ten, twenty, sixty or one hundred years, in a sense, you have formed your owm history of the state's largest, oldest and must successful pleasure resort, Lagoon. Younger people remember the year of the Jet Star the "Log Flume" or "Dracula's Castle. A -aged person can recall the popular singers and bands that played at the resort. middle- OTHERS MIGHT describe the old fun house and the terrible fire that destroyed much of the amusement park. Everyone know s Lagoon has a sw pool, a little train, rides and games. People nearing one hundred can visualize a large and some oldsters might even have experienced a ride on the "figure eight. Many things about Utah's Fun Spot are unknown by most. "chute-the-chut- LAGOON WAS the creation of Simon Bamberger, state senator and president and gen-remanager of several successful business corporations, railroad builder and the first governor of Utah. Mr. Bamberger and other railroad builders started the n Railroad in Salt 1892 (later called the Bamberger). In order to build the passenger service, a small amusement park, Eden Park, was Lake-Ogde- built in Bountiful in about 1893. AS THE railroad was constructed north from Salt Lake City, the company decided to build a more elaborate pleasure resort at Farmington. This location was about mid- Lagoon was a park by 1900. 35-pl- acre CONSTRUCTION on the resort started in 1895 when wells were drilled for the lake water. Today, there are 59 artesan wells at Lagoon, supplying water for the lake, the swimming pool and some drinking fountains. As noted in an earlier column, Simon Bamberger had earlier built Lake Park, a resort west of Farmington on the Great Salt Lake shore. When the receeding lake waters and the muddy beaches forced this resort to close, some of the buildings were moved from Lake Park to Lagoon. SINCE THE beginning, park developers have been in- terested in making the resort a place by offering a variety of activities. By 1900, the pleasure park included lakes for boating and fishing, a ball diamond, a bowling alley, a minature steam railway, a figure eight ride, picnic boweries, two pavilions, a band stand, aa saloon, restaurants and animals. In 1897 trees were first planted and by 1900 most of the large shade trees that are now part of Lagoon had been set out. Beautiful flower beds gave the park a formal setting. family-oriente- d WHILE SOME people drove to Lagoon, the most popular method of reaching the park was by tram. This w'as the primary reason for building Lagoon. To attract customers for the Salt Lake And Ogden Railroads. By 1907 this railroad had not the Miller estate, Amasa reached Ogden. Passengers could ride to Lagoon only from Salt Lake City. Exursion fare from May 15 to Sept. 15 was 25 cents. The price was not reduced for any intermediate stations. Train passengers were admitted to the park free. During the 1907 excursion season, six trains daily of eight cars each left Salt Lake City for Lagoon. The trains departed between p.m. and returned to Salt Lake City between p.m. There was an increase of 20 percent in passengers on weekends. The Salt Lake and Ogden Railroad logged 68,000 car miles during the four month excursion season. Clark, C.W. Richards, Mary T. Richrds and Jospeh Clark. gden railroad was applying way between Utahs two largest cities and people from either metropolitan center would be attracted to the park. According to a blueprint of Lagoon, owned by Dean Swaner, Lagoon employee since 1920 and leading authority on the resort, the first land purchases for Lagoon were made in 1895. Between 1895 and 1899 land had been bought from W.R. VanFleet, W.H. Kennard, Nanny L. Richards, THE SALT LAKE and for some bonding money to extend their railroad in Ogden, to convert to an electric railroad and to build a resort in Ogden Canyon in 1907. One of the main selling points for this bonding project was the sucess of the Lagoon resort. The financial and engineering report, prepared by Falkenau Electrical Construction Co. of Chicago and dated May 9, 907 gives a very complete and highly complimentary resort of Lagoon. This is not only due to its naturally favorable location at the base of the Wahsatch Mountains with the snowcapped peaks on one side and the great Salt Lake on the other, but also due to the great improvements made by the Lagoon Resort Co., which has resulted in making of this resort a wooded park, 40 acres in extent, in which flowers grow in profusion and which contains numerous artesian wells besides a lake nine acres in extent, used for boating and fishing purposes. LAGOON is not an ordinary summer park. It is conducted on the principle of maintaining a park safe and attractive for women and children with a natural result that the influx of visitors during the summer months rises to relativ ely enormous proportions. The park contains besides the points above mentioned, a dancing pavilion which has cost $16,000, a minature railway, a large ball park with grandstand and athletic grounds, a menagerie, a with water terminal, a large roller skating rink, a science railway, a tour of the world installation, and a number of restaurants and other buildings all of first class construction. chute-the-chut- THE ENTIRE 40 acres of park is fenced in and an entrance fee is charged, except for those reaching the grounds by way of the Salt Lake and Ogden railway, a ticket on which entitles the holder to fee entrance. LAGOON IS owned by a distinct corporation with a capital stock of $25,000, which corporation has, however, invested nearly $100,000 in this park and the entire capital stock of this corporation is owned by the Salt I ake and Ogden Railway Co he company is fiee from any mdi I Ivcd-nes- Unlike most amusement parks of this natuie. owned he railway companies. thisp.uk absolutely self-sustain- : o' financially so that the traffic which it atti acts irpu sents clear gam tor the company SO o, popular is this amus, .nun park that excursion tiams ,ir. run to it from distance- - ot It,!'!

So heavy is this traffic and so long does it continue each year that double track between Salt Lake City and Lagoon may be justified. Annually after the close ot the season at Lagoon, about the middle of September, the county fair is held at Lagoon, which attracts large numbers of people and which swells the railway company's Septembi t revenues considerably. i WELL-KNOW- i c.r-ar- 1 . t l!7f) |
