By TOM BUSSELBERG - Hunters and LAYTON fishermen in Utah are getting one of the best bargains for their money of anywhere. A COMBINATION license costs less here than in nine of 11 surrounding states. It is available for Utah residents for $18 compared to a low of $15 in Idaho and a high of $30 in Nevada. But with such prices drastic program cuts have been necessary, says Allan Hash, a wildlife Davis County resources officer based in By WANDA LUND - ""fRUIT HEIGHTS About 70 residents voiced their opinions recently when a tentative master plan for this city was explained during a public hearing. John M. Janson, a planner with the Davis County Planning Department, was present to discuss the plan and tell the people about results of a public involvement questionnaire. MOST OF the residents of Fruit Heights have lived there only a few years, Mr. Janson said in an interview. Some 81 percent have moved there within the past ten years, 41 percent in the last sthree years. Ninety percent of E lhe homes surveyed had annual incomes of more than $15,000. Most of the people questioned said they wanted to preserve the agricultural environment, and generally felt they wanted to have single family homes on large lots. WE TRIED to deal with that issue by explaining the multiple family homes conto cept, clustering the homes leave more open spaces than single family homes might do," Mr. Janson said. "Most of those who attended the hearing also did not want to have mobile home parks in thg community, even though a Jark might be one of the nicest in the state. Also, the people did not seem to feel very good about the idea of mixing multiple family type homes with single family dwellings, as has been done in some areas. IN THE public hearing, Mr. Janson displayed overlay how some Waps to indicate roads would be extended. Dotted lines on the map showed how Green Road would be extended westerly through Rolling Green and Upland subdivisions to hook up with Laurelwood and then to Kaysvilles Main Ttt?st Another street that would be extended would be 1800 East, running north and south and another road to be built to tie into the Somerset Farms subdivision, a planned unit development. MR. JANSON said that about 500 acres of land are still developable. He believes it would be wise to expand crtnmercial development, so that the city could realize -- more revenue from sales taxes. The only source of such rjeyenue at the present time comes from operation of a resmotel, gas station and taurant. Increased revenue in the future might make it possible to develop parks, Mr. Janson said some work expand police protection and is now being done on a storm provide other services to the for the entire . drain system residents, he said.

Division it is his right to do what he wishes? Mr. Janson asked. Ninety-fiv- e percent of the residents of the city own their own homes; about 57 percent' are under the age of 25, and 443 persons, on an average, live in each household. ONLY ABOUT nine percent of the homeowners have two or more employed persons in the same home. Oil barons from Texas even come up here and NOTING THE monetary value produced by hunting and fishing on the states Thirty-on- e percent of the people work in Salt Lake County; 18 percent at Hill Air Force Base, 15 percent in North Davis County and the rest in other locations. Travel patterns indicated that the most frequent trip made by residents was to Kaysville; second, Salt Lake County; third, Hill Air Force Base and fourth to other areas in North Davis. FORTY-SIpercent of those who filled out questionnaires were against consolidation with Kaysville, but 29 percent were for it. Some 22 percent of the respondents were undecided.

That means land near the foothills in some areas of Davis County cannot be purchased and set aside for animal use for instance, Mr. Hash says, g indicating a general reduc- tion in land open to wildlife and resulting in eventual population decline. IN COMPARISON, Colorado spends $21 million, Wyoming $144 million and Idaho and Arizona nearly $11 million. And several neighboring states project a license have access to it. And itll be more important as time-goeon to keep our local areas stocked, especially as the cities grow and it becomes more difficult to travel to Box Elder County, for instance. Its part of our national equals $9.75 million. Hunters harvest more than eight million pounds of big game annually, plus 800,000 game birds and cottontails, plus 285,000 ducks and geese. That adds another $9.2 million bringing total value of fish and game harvested to nearly $20 million, Mr. Hash says. The construction of new buildings forces animals out of former habitat areas. Unless new areas can be found or reclaimed the wildlife population will IF WE dont spend the money, our children wont diminish, he says.
