' p;;V ' ffr&v&Si S A,., i . ; ALL TAKING SHAPE By TOM BUSSELBERG - mind-bogglin- If all goes well, LAYTON Davis County residents could be enjoying the comforts of a enclosed mall in little more than a year. THAT ENCOURAGING word was given to the Layton Chamber of Commerce during its regular monthly meeting Thursday by David M. Horne, president of Horne Construction Corp., Salt Lake City, general contractor. The mall is set for tentative opening May 15, 1980 and will bring together about 110 small shops on two levels along with two major depart- ment stores, a convenience center and amusements, he said. ' ZCMI AND Auerbachs have been signed as the anchor department stores, and, about 70 percent of the space for small shops has been leased, Mr. Horne said. Those will include many nationally-known outlets as well ' as local merchants. .To be located on 75 acres east of Interstate 15 and Hill Field Road, the complex will include about 650,000 square feet in the main mall area and convenience preliminaries center nearby. Temple Square, for example, covering 10 acres, includes about 450,000 square feet in comparison. ALONG WITH size will come jobs ana money flowing into Laytons economy from South Weber County down to Bountiful, Mr. Horne said. We expect to need 250 to 300 construction workers and when the mall is completed it will generate from 1,100 to .1,200 jobs with an annual payroll of about $14 million. Laytons share of sales tax from sales transacted in the mall will total between $350,000 to $400,000, initially, nearly equalling total present revenue, he continued. Comparing Layton to Murray, he said that city has been able to reduce its mill levy, or rate of taxation on property, because of increased revenue from Fashion Place Mall and other new retailers. g, is almost Mr. Horne said. convenience center. A convenience center usually includes a grocery store, home center and 10 or 20 small stores. A demographic study, one including breakdowns of area income, real estate values, transportation networks and on and on, totalling 100 pages of material, was compiled. We found 25 to 30 percent of the areas income was going elsewhere because there arent retail outlets. The THAT MEANT trips to Seattle, Denver, Los Angeles and other points to feel out various national retailers on a mall in North Davis County. We found some interest and found that most (retailers) had already done the base work (for. a study) because 4hey realized if they wanted to keep their share of the business they'd have to locate in the area. The best response came from ZCMI, he said. ZCMI conducted its own study and determined the best location for a center was in the same location. But the road wasnt all that easy with opposition coming from residents and some Layton City officials at times, Mr. Horne said. ON TOP of that, the competition offered ZCMI a he free site in Clearfield, continued. It took ZCMI almost a year a lease to complete agreement with the final papers signed Jan. 9, he said. That department store also said they wouldnt participate if 22 nearby homes werent removed and that project cost HOMCO $850,000. HAVE voiced faith in the strength for business in the area, Mr. Horne said, citing the case of ZCMI. That store originally felt a 60,000 square foot facility would be adequate but has settled for twice that amount of space with an option to expand still further. Construction of a mall is not only far more complex than that for a single family residence for instance but time needed to complete FINANCING being provided primarily by Equitable Life with a $20 million plus loan to be paid in three stages. But a loan that size doesn't come easily and everything must be in the financers favor before the ball starts rolling, Mr. Home said. The people are here to make the mall a viable proposition, he said, citing statistics indicating 150,000 10 people living within minutes driving time of the vegetation and roadways. For the planning commissions part, they will distribute preapplication plans to interested county, city and state agencies and may call a public hearing if adjacent property isnt within a natural resource zone or if the project poses significant impact because of its size or location. WITHIN 45 days of receiving the preapplication, it will be formally considered in a -- regularly scheduled or special meeting with the FARMINGTON - If youre a student or teacher in the Davis County School District, youll have to hunt your day on your own time or by playing hooky. IN ITS regular Tuesday night meeting, the board of education approved a calendar for the 1979-8- school year without vacation time for the deer hunt, a first in the district for many years. That move was taken after tabling the action in the last meeting to allow for input from Davis Education As- sociation members and others. But opinions for and against the deer hunt holiday were about evenly divided, the board was told. AS IT stood, no one was overly opposed to giving the break but the calendar just wouldnt cooperate and allow students to either finish before Memorial Day or start the last week in August. Under the approved schedule, students will start classes Monday, Aug. 27 and school will be recessed for summer break May 23. OTHER DATES of note include observance of Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3; Utah Education Association Con- and hours early Dec. reconvene Jan. 2, 1980; Presidents Day, Monday, Feb. 18; and Easter break, Thursday and Friday, April 3 and 4. Were the deer hunt break observed, school would convene four days earlier on Aug. 23. The venison break would have been observed Friday, Oct. 19 and Monday, Oct. 22. Otherwise, the calendar would have been identical. THE BOARD didnt shut the door completely to some reprieve from school, even if a small one. It directed district officials to study the of dismissing school two hours early Oct. possibility 19. In other business, the board opted to include an hourly rental rate within its policy for rental of school facilities by outside groups. THAT ISSUE was raised several weeks ago when a the of representative Freeman Institute, a group offering classes in the U.S. Constitution, asked for space. In the policy statement, it was specified that buildings should be available for use by citizens for educational and recreational activities and for the general of the community." non-prof- it well-bein- g In addition the policy states, School buildings shall not be used for religious instruction or worship. Churches and other organizations may rent gymnasiums for athletic and recreational programs at times when the gymnasiums are not in use for school activities. Commercial purposes are out, as well. L GROUPS utilizing school property must provide one or more supervisors and a school employee will be put in charge of the building while the group is there, the policy statement says. Adult service organizations who perform strictly public NON-SCHOO- services including civic groups, fire departments and scouting groups, can have occasional use of classrooms at no charge, provided a custodian is regularly on duty. But that excludes use of the auditorium, gymnasium and cafeterias. SAMPLE of rental fees will include a cafeteria and e room charge of $75 for three hours and $20 for each additional hour for community projects and $150 for three hours if the project is commercial and $40 for each additional hour.

Hours of operation are set at 6 a.m to 7 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays except in EVEN IF approval is gained and the operation undertaken, penalties for failure to meet all requirements can mean closure and fine, Mr. Moore told the planning commission. The proposal requires the excavator or owner appear before the planning commission to explain failure to meet requirements. The planning commission shall decide to either continue, revoke, modify or refer action to the Davis County Attorney. A fine up to $299 a day could be levied for each day of noncompliance and the operation shut down, the planning director said. isolated areas.

OF 59 children singled out Jan. 1 as not having any proof of immunization, it appeared all but one had begun some kind of compliance measures, Nursing Director Dolleen Jewett said. Earlier, the health board had given a one month deadline for children and their parents to begin immunizations or have their children excluded from school after March 5. AT THIS point, of those who have entered (school), they are all in compliance or have started some form of immunization, she said, and nurses will check with1 them (those in the process of complying) every two months. by fall all (children) will be in compliance when they enter school so we wont have to spend six months getting Dr. them immunized, Richard E. Johns, county health director, said. "We hope THIS FALL, if students dont show up with the proper credentials they will have to be sent home, he said. Clarifying that point, somewhat, Davis County School District Asst. Supt. Gayle Stevenson added, We dont want to leave the notion we'll send a child home the first day with embarrassment. We would admit him the first day and then say by a certain day they must have their immunization." HOPEFULLY, parents will understand and have all summer (to complete imMrs. Jewett munizations), said. potentally greater disease outbreak problem lies with secondary school youngsters, however. Dr. Johns said. Efforts are being made to tighten reins in that area with laws enacted in other states being studied here, grb A division and the matter was tabled for further investigation. The council unanimously approved a moratorium on issuing letters to residents building in outlying areas within the city limits approving Utah Power and Light serving those residents power, until the city's legal position has been determined. IT WAS the consensus of the council that the lien waiver proposal and method of binda to developers ing preliminary plan and platting of the same on the master plan should be discussed further with the planning board at their joint session on March 8. A conflict of interest policy for city employees was unanimously approved by the council after some discussion. OLENE Whitaker appeared before the council on the matter of storm drain easement on his property, and finally agreed to sign the necessary easements provided that a 60 pipe is installed to carry the drainage past his home and under the highway, np THE WEEKLY REftEX 197 B: North Main Si Layton .
