JOHN Thacker, agency Co-o- p ex- ecutive director said, the board has to date received four mortgage. The agency would also like toobtain an additional 2.5 acres more of the property, that are also part of the illegal subdivision.

ACCORDING to Mr. Thacker, the Redevelopment Agency will be meeting soon with the property owners of downtown to show films and design workshops for the redevelopment of Kaysville downtown. np Outside Study Approved For Garbage Want By TOM BUSSELBERG - A SALT LAKE CITY "third party study offering an outside opinion of constructing the proposed resource re- covery plant has gained approval from all but two of the county's mayors or representatives. THE STUDY is necessary before bonding can be n obtained for the dollar proposed plant that would see construction in Layton and tie in with HAFB, providing some of their energy from the 150,000 tons of garbage anticipated yearly from the county. multi-millio- of governments at the International Center in Salt Lake City, last Meeting as a council week, the group voted nine for the $95,000 study while one mayor, Centervilles Neil Blackburn, abstained, and Clearfield Councilman Kay Chandler voted against the proposal. EXPLAINING the study is necessary before bonding can be obtained, Wilbur Jefferies, Wasatch Front Regional Council executive director, said an independent company will look at the overall proposal, including projected landfill costs and life of the project, hoping to determine whether its viable. 2 Noting it will take weeks, he said while published material wont be ready, results can be made available at the Nov. 18 Layton City Council public hearing on rezoning of a parcel considered prime to the project. THEY SHOULD be able to 10-1- give us a projection on how all of this will do, said Sunset Mayor Norm Sant. It appears this thing is what weve been where a lot waiting for-th-ats of what weve been asking for should be explained, he added. The project cost could be reimbursed, including about $20,000 each from the North Area Refuse Disposal and the like amount from Bay Area Refuse Disposal, said Mr. Jefferies, if bonds are sold and the project moves ahead.

Shields noting, The big thing is the site. There doesnt seem THE KAYSVILLE held in from federal to be the (feeling) that all the alternatives have been raised. But Mr. Jefferies indicated all of that will be reviewed in the Nov. 18 public hearing. LENGTH of the steam line from the plant to base facilities is a key issue, Richard E. Harvey, environmental health director, said, indicating one site would necessitate running a line under the airport runway. And while that wouldnt be awfully difficult it would probably require stopping air traffic, at least during construction. The sites being studied are both bordering State Highway 193. The site to be considered for rezoning Nov. 18 is on the city side at about 1000 W. while the other is directly across the street inside the base. THE NARD site is too far from the base, Mr. Harvey said, when asked about locating the plant at the current north Davis dump site. It would add $3.5 million in the cost, adding it must be close enough to benefit HAFBs distribution system, as well. There would probably be no project if the distance is increased, greatly, Mr, Jefferies emphasized, adding that, If IT'S HALLOWEEN! Commissioners Approve Davis Flan For Floods you dont sell steam its probably not feasible to build the plant. Weve looked at evhe added. erything, AND IF power were generated from a central county point, for example, cost would be too high for the Davis County market, Mr. Harvey said, noting it might be different in the East where power costs are higher, for example. Coalgenerated and hydroelectric power utilized here make that impractical, he explained further. Mr. Jefferies added that some incentives are being offered to the base in an attempt at procuring the agreement although some points are still under negotiation. CONCERNING sites, Mayor Shields said it makes no difference to Layton but he noted the closer to base housing and Clearfield the more potential thered be for opposition. A summer, 1985 completion 0 date has been eyed for the $40-,$5- million plant although there was some concern a pos- sible delay of three-fou- r months to get clearance from Layton on their site could evolve into as much as 18 months if the base site is chosen and federal clearance needed.

IN RAINSTORMS like we had last month we want to use While some county residents have complained about the controls limiting modifications of natural water ways, an Emergency Services official pointed out that the water ways adequately handled last months record rains without any problem. The rains were even worse than the weather that decimated Davis County in the 1930s with massive flooding. ONE OF the problems the committee had with the plan was defining what constituted a major water way, said Rolf Williams, a committee member. Major water ways were designated with the help of a study desiminated by the county Water Quality ning Council. Planv Mr. Williams emphasized the program was just policy and not an ordinance. Being designated a policy gives the committee more leniency in dealing with the plan, he explained. TO, IF it was an ordinance we would not be able to amend it, Mr. Williams pointed out. The policy is currently under review by the county attorney, Mr. Williams said. Once it is approved by the attorney, it will be presented to the Council of Governments in their next meeting. The COG consists of representatives of the individual city governments. Once it has passed the COG, it will be forwarded to the county commission for final approval. THOUGH THE Flood Control Committee approved the policy in principal Mr. Wil- liams said the policy would probably go through some polishing before being presented to the COG and County Commission. Two flood control projects were discussed in the committee meeting. Both projects are slated to begin within the next four weeks. THE FIRST is a 2,300 foot draining line that will be built to serve Clinton and West Point. The project will cost approximately $65,000 to be split between the counties and cities. Another project calls for a culvert to be built in Woods Cross. The $30,000 project is a precautionary step to prevent flooding near a private airport. OTHER projects include turning a four-acr- e county owned lot into a holding pond and city park in North Salt Lake. |
