AT THE Kaysville exit on Interstate 15. Bruce observed a multiple car accident. He immediately called for police assistance on his two-wa- y radio and stopped his van in the emergency lane.

The city has issued the following guidelines for citizens. NO LIMBS longer than eight feet, no sod, no concrete or rock and no construction debris w ill be picked up. Material should be and asked them to gather at a fence, a safe distance from the vehicle and the road. Shortly thereafter, another vehicle lost control, spun around, and struck the door of the van. Several people were injured in accident. Due to the seven-ca- r Bruces quick thinking and concern for the safety of his passengers, prevented the possibility of serious injuries to all individuals involved. LAYTON - After several months of inaction, the Layton City Council voted unanimously to approve a rezone request made by Granada Corporation, owners of the Hillgate Terrace Mobile Home Park, to convert some of the area in the southeast portion of the park adjacent to the Hill AFB clear zone -- from RT to CX to allow construction of closed public storage units. THE ACTION was taken last Thursday at the regular meeting of the city council. The Council refused to rezone the property last year because of some drainage problems and some other details that Granada had not worked out with the planning and zoning staff. Granada reapplied for the zoning change on Feb. 20, 1986. The Council tabled the request because Granada and others owed park fees for the Quail Ridge subdivision. AT THE March 3 meeting, Spencer Packer, representative of Granada explained the fees had been paid and the other problems had been worked out to the satisfaction of the city staff. He said the idea of closed storage units was favorably received by the tennants at Hillgate Terrace. After council approval for the rezone was given. City Attorney Mark Arnold staled he believed it would be unwise to hold up one project because of problems with another project being developed by the same company. I believe it is in the best interest of the city to review each project on it own merits and use other legal re sources to make developers comply on other projects, the city attorney stated. IN OTHER council report and review of action, the a Board of Equalization established to create and impliment a special improvement district on Snow Creek was accepted by the council. Property owners in this special improvement district will pay for the installation of curb, guttering and sidewalk in the area. Kenneth Ellgen, City Finance Director and member of the Board of Equalization, indicated all people would benefit at least as much if not more than the improvements cost. He said there was a problem in the area that once was included within the boundaries of East Layton City because the home owners all believed they were purchasing fully classes.

FINALLY, the Council set a public hearing on April 3 at 7:15 p.m. to consider changing the zone on property on the southeast corner of 1200 West and Antelope Drive from CP-- 3 to CX. The rezone request was made by Scott Priest and Delyn Yeates. They want to build an approximately 130,000 square foot retail center at this location. Some consideration will tie given to the property that fronts Antelope Drive and is directly across the street from North Layton Junior High School. Laytons Community Development Director.

JOHN ZIPPRO who is director of Davis County Emergency Services told the mayors that it is too late to put together a plan when a disaster occurs. He has time available to meet with every mayor in the county. He reminded them that only the mayor in each city and the county commissioners for the county have the authority to declare a disaster and to commit funds and manpower. Funds from other sources cannot become available unless the city can demonstrate that it is beyond the city's means to handle it. The county also feels that each city should have a city command post to facilitate the communication between cities and the county. ZIPPRO also stressed that good record keeping is essential if the cities hope to recover any monies from other funds. Several cities had problems in these areas during the 1983 flood situation. Zippro also urged the formation of a Mutual Aid Agreement between the cities of Davis Countyjust as there is a Mutual Aid Agreement between Davis and the surrounding counties. COM. TIPPETTS thanked the cities for their excellent cooperation. He also asked the cities to update their plans and to establish communication links with key contractors and heavy equipment operators. He said that the county is comfortable with the southern part of the county but not so comfortable with the northwest area in the terms of Hood control. Com. Tippetts also told the mayors that "if the lake continues to rise we have no capability at the county level to cope. Imagine a thiid of the population of the state of Utah without sewers. WILLIAM J. Alder, meteorologist in charge of the Salt Lake office of the U.S. Weather Service reviewed the flood potential. He said that the Davis County area is extremely wet and that the flood index is at 7. The area is at 150 percent of its normal precipitation. The biggest rise in the lake was seen the last two weeks of February and right now the lake is as high as it was in the peak of 1985. In addition there, is a greater snowpack than in 1984 and the runoff is one of the third highest in the last 50 years in terms of the amount of water that reaches the lake. Streams in Dav is County are also running 135 to 220 percent of normal. The six w ettest years of the last 50 have occurred during the last nine years. (lowers.
