Show V 2A Library Officials Ask Support for System Lakeside Review, Wednesday, Oct. 21, 1981 Bountiful OKs Plan For Large Parle FARMINGTON Library officials have called for the support of the citizens and elected officials of Layton City in the continuation of the regional concept in the Davis County libraries. We sincerely believe that Lay-to- n residents as well as other county residents will benefit much more from continuation of the regional concept both in quality and quantity of services as well as ebst, Evan A. Whitesides, chairman of the Davis County Library Board, said in an open letter to the citizens and officials of Layton. In the letter, Whitesides tells residents that if the city withdraws, they will be charged an annual $10 fee per family to utilize the county facilities. A large recreational park BOUNTIFUL proposal received conceptual approval from the city council last Wednesday evening. The park plans include a sports complex, arcade, miniature golf course, bath house, go cart track, jogging course, waterslides, hot tub plaza, a small restaurant, skate board park, trampoline center, bumper boats and a small lake and bumper car basketball (whirley ball). The park at present is planned for a 3.6 acre plot of ground between Main Street and Highway 101 one block north of Slim Olsens and south of Marion Willey Ford. The council did express some concern about parking problems and locating a go cart track to close to a residential area. Council Member Phyllis Southwick asked the developers of the project to contact nearby schools and to touch base with apartments across the street from the project. Kay Peterson, representing the developers, said the park would not be a carnival atmosphere. He also said the design of the park could be modified so a go cart track could be placed away from a nearby residential area. Peterson also said he didnt want to close the door completely on the idea of including more than four video games in an arcade at the park. A city ordinance only allows four video games to be placed in any one business establishment.

The study is under the direction of the Wasatch Front Regional Council and is looking at the possibility of placing a resource recovery plant in the north end of Layton which would generate steam by the burning of trash. The steam would probably be sold to Hill Air Force Base to be used as an energy source. Councilman John Baker, who is chairman of the resource recovery board, County Commissioner Ernest Eberhard, and Richard Harvey of the Davis County Health Department recently flew to a small city on the outskirts of Boston to see a similar plant in operation. Baker said at a recent City Council meeting that the plant located in Saugus, Mass., received $1.4 million each year from taxes and that such a project could be favorable to Layton. Baker said that they saw the full operation from bin to steam and that they were very impressed. Steam from that plant is purchased by General Electric. The plant called Resco is privately owned and was built when the area began to run out of landfill areas and according to Baker the Environmental Protection Agency was shutting them (the landfill areas) down. It is generally felt that the landfills in Davis County will be depleted within a few years. The Layton fill has one of the longest projected life spans with an estimated years left before it would be inoperable. Randy Harris, a resident of the area under consideration for the resource recovery site, stated that he felt that the residents of Layton would be sacrificing their landfill for the residents of other cities by being put in a position of accepting the leftover ash and refuse from the plant if it is built in the city. The site in question is in a residentially zoned area southeast of Hill Field. 7-- .

This appears be a high pressure sales tactic and any company using such tactics should be questioned. It would appear that such companies are reluctant to allow the consumer to comparison shop. A legitimate company selling quality merchandise welcomes comparison shopping. One should be very careful buying from people using such unethical business practices. ARCTIC CIRCLE eight stories high which residents feel would visually scar the area and that they were concerned about the pollution from the smoke. Of major concern to Harris was where Lay-to- n would get the water to make the steam. This question has been raised by Shields and members of the City Council. Although there are no firm requests for water, it is generally assumed that if the facility is built in Layton that the city would be responsible for providing the water. It is estimated that, it would take several hundred thousand gallons per day to generate the steam. In dry spells there is often not enough water for residents, said Harris. If we had a drought who would go without? Most of the water used is since it picks up impurities and minerals in the conversion process. It must be treated water such as is used in residential areas because of! the equipment in the plants. Baker said that only 30 percent of the water in the Massachusetts plant is recovered but that Weber Basin Water Conservancy District is' again in the position of being able to sell more water to the city which it in turn could sell to such a plant at a profit. Harris also said nearby residents were worried about the possibility of Hill Field changing its mind if a cheaper source of energy was found and that there would be no customers for the steam. He suggested that the plant might be built in Salt Lake County near the airport where several users could be available and that if one pulled out it wouldnt matter. le SIPECII AIL S Two pieces of battered fish deep fried to perfection, served with a lemon wedge, our own special tartar sauce and golden crisp fries.

Although that house had been included in the rezoning request, Mrs. Hammond asked that her signature be removed from the petition, saying that she had signed it with the understanding that McCormick would build two single family dwellings on his property. McCormick replied that he did intend to build two commonwall dwellings, each having approximately 921 square feet finished, with full basements. He hoped to sell, rather than rent, the units, but inadequate frontage prohibited such a plan under current regulations. The same structure, however, could be built as a rental unit if the land were zoned For this reason he had applied for the zone change, after which he planned to petition the Board of Adjustments to allow a variance, in order to pursue his original plan.
