The City Council on Tuesday again denied a reone request by Bach Development, closing the door on a 120-un-il luxury apartment complex that would be built at 13(H) S. 1000 East. In August, the council unanimously denied a request by Bach to rcone land for the construction of a 144-un- il apartment complex at the same address. After trimming off some apartments, and adding additional commercial land to the project, developer Lynn Rindlis-bachwas hoping the project would be approved. But Rindlisbachcrs changes gained only the support of Councilman Gene Fcssler, who wondered aloud how long this particular piece of property zoned for manufacturing has been on the market with no takers. The only thing surrounding property owners were interested in was not having an apartment complex as a neighbor. Resident Don Wood said he is concerned about the impact the apartments would have on Clearfield schools, some of which already are defined by PTA officials as Sam and Chris Chelemcs also objected to the project, contending there are belter uses for the land.

Plans are under way to complete storm sewer, curb and gutter, and sidewalk on the west side. It may involve removing some pine trees from the property of Robert Flinders, who received assurances from City Council members last month that they would work with him on on the g replacing those trees. Work is being delayed because 1900 East is the only access to that area of the city. We are concerned with busing for school children. We need an alternative route, such as 2100 East.
