By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON The Layton City Council in a split vote agreed to rezone property on Fort Lane just east of Layton High School to a C-zone to allow for the construction of an apartment comX plex. This project has been presented in various forms several times to the Layton Council. It has been denied previously because of objections from neighbors and from Layton High School officials and the PTSA. LAST THURSDAY evening, the arguments for the development presented by Neil Black burn of Hanover Trust were the same as had been heard before. The arguments against the development expressed by Dale Gooede, spokesman of a large citizen group and Mrs. Dorothy Paine of the Parent Teachers Association offered no new information. The reason the project passed was because of the zoning that was being requested. Previously, the developers had asked for a zone which could have allowed as many as 40 units per acre on the property. Thursday evening, the rezone. The conditions quest was for a of this zone ties the developer to a specific project. Hanover Trust, in this case, has agreed to build V2 story There will be no access on Lindsay Ave. and two accesses onto Fort Lane. The density level has been lowered from the original plan of 20 per acre to 17.7 units R-- C-- IF THE development doesnt get started within 18 months, the zone reverts back to the original zone. This practice gives the city better controls over the type of development that is placed on any property that serves as a boarderline area or a mixed use district separating one type of development from another. Another lengthy agrument for and against the zoning change were heard, Councilwoman Ann Harris moved to close the public hearing and approve the zoning change. She explained that she had voted against the project twice. This time she was in favor of the development because of the concessions made by Hanover Trust and because the zoning w hich allows better conchange was trols by the city. Ms. Harris stated, Property owners have the right to develop their property." C-- "SUPERTEACHER" C-- COUNCILMAN Don Crockett voted in favor of the zoning change. Councilmen Kent Smith and Sam Trujillo opposed the zone request. In the absence of Councilman Bob Stevenson. Mayor Golden Sill had to break the tie vote. The Mayor said, "I don't like the idea of this being an emotional issue. I hope the people on either side of this issue don't take offense and when everything is over, we will work with each other. I vote in favor of the zoning change." dmg C-- Plans Now For Wendover Trip The Wendover trip for the Silver Age will be Tuesday, July 16 each.

County Commissioners have approved purchase of a Burroughs A-- system with monies the county has been saving from federal revenue sharing grants. 9 IN MAKING the announcement, commission chairman Glen Saun- ders said the countys two current computers have simply been overworked and filled to capacity. We have been looking at updating our mainframe and equipment for more than 18 months, he stated, saying the issue of new computer needs has surfaced many times in different departments. He said the current system has employed a used mainframe the coun- ty purchased from the Davis County School District last year. WE THOUGHT it would hold us over for a while, but it has not, he added, saying the commission has studied several options during the last six weeks in an effort to reach a solution. Com. Harry Gerlach stated, I think the taxpayers would be pleased that our auditing and accounting departments had the foresight to set aside funds for such an emergency. By being able to pay cash and not having to finance the computer, well avoid having to increase the mill levy." THE COMMISSION also pointed out that aside from an right purchase of the system, the county had the option of a five year lease. But that option would have more than doubled the cost of the system to $3.4 million. The county also stands to make about $200,000 on the sale of the current system, out- which is computable to the new Burroughs system scheduled to be delivered by June 30. th it's Simpfe A simple way to acquire a million dollars is to get a job ADDING GREEN Whitesides Elementary School students are helping make Layton a greener, more attractive place.

Sheriff Johnson feels if the jail population continues to increase as it has, the county may have to con sider paying other agencies to house some prisoners. He said the jail has peaked at 114 prisoners during this year as well as last. He added that even with bond approval. it would probably be at least three ears before the new facility would be operational. y COUNTY SHERIFF Brant Johnson received permission from the County Commission two w'eeks ago to place the ads, which will ultimately lead to definitive costs and plans for the project. This step is the latest in a syste-mize- d approach the Sheriff s Department is taking in developing a new jail facility. Sheriff Johnson stated the Master Plan for the new jail is complete, and our next step is to identify an architect. We have asked for of bids bv July 15. ONCE THOSE bids are received, a special committee, as well as county commissioners, w ill scrutinize each bid. Any firm submitting a bid will also be advised in advance that it would be compensated only if the project is approved, funded, and constructed according to that firm's bid provisions. Sheriff Johnson said that after the bids were received and evaluated, a projected cost will be determined. At that point, the commission and I agree that a bonding proposal should go to the public, he said. SHOULD SUCH a bond election gain approval for the jail, the sheriff said site selection would be the next priority. Right now that question is pretty wide open, he said. We are looking primarily at two sites. My first choice would be in West Farmington, but we will also look at simply remodeling and putting an addition on our current facility here. THE SHERIFF also emphasized during the commission meeting that an intense public information elTort is needed, to begin immediately, in order to inform the public about what the office is doing on the project. Our plan is to make a recom- mendation to the commission on the jail by then hopefully see a bond election in September. In the meantime, we are assessing the needs we have for the mid-Augu- building," he stated. PLANS MAY include relocation of a courtroom, the county attorney and other support services as well. Sheriff Johnson said decisions on those questions would be made at a later date. He has said in the past that he hopes the new facility would be built to be adequate for at least 0 years. That would mean increasing the current 101 bed space to between 200-30Were working slowly on the project, but with good direction. We're not in a crisis situation yet. so we can cover all the bases as we are going," he added. -- 1 ROTC SCHOLARSHIPS Layton High School students who've received ROTC scholarships are: back, Erich Novak, left.
