LOUISE BROWN Standard-Examine- correspendent r WEST POINT - Altered plans and unanswered questions 'prompted the West Point Council to table final approval of the Sky West Estates Subdivision II, located at 3425 W. 530 North. u Despite requests from developer Mark Sessions and others involved in the project to grant "conditional approval, the council Tx IX ...I. .. . decided to support city Engineer Scott Nelsons concerns. Nelson said, Id like to recommend that it be tabled. The plat has changed since I signed it, plus with the island being added, Id like to see it when its been finished. The island Nelson referred to discussed as a possible way of reducing a large entiy, and routing subdivision traffic in a safer manner. Mayor Jay Ritchie, who noted, If you dont put in the island, then it becomes RV parking, suggested a island, while other council members discussed covering the area with concrete, or landscaping it. City Planner Jeff Oyler told the council, Would the city be willing to maintain that? If so, the developer would be willing to go ahead with it. If no, theyll come up with some alternative -either pave it or do something that requires no maintenance. Oyler pointed out that, with a city park across the street, maintenance of a landscaped island would not present a great problem. Oyler also informed the council of two requests the developers were making. The developers are asking for relief from putting a sidewalk on 550 North, Oyler told the council. He pointed out that, with no homes on that road, there would be no one to use the sidewalk. However, a strip of unkept ground running along the street concerned council member Farrell Cook, who asked, With no sidewalk there, what are we going to do? Grow weeds? Council member Glen Wade countered, So what else is new? Weve got nine foot places to maintain everywhere else in the ot numbered, he said.

Oyler told the council re- quest was relief from asphalting any roads in the subdivision and during the remainder of this building year, due to the lateness of the season. The council was informed that without asphalt, the roads would not have enough base to support a firetruck, and therefore, the subdivision could not be assured adequate fire protection, Ritchie asserted, No occupancy should be permitted until the roads are that the property is in the process of changing hands. That affects the details of whos going to do what, he said. Just prior to taking the vote,? Ritchie told those in attendance,! There are enough questions onthis, plus the word from our city engineer. Were sitting here with feelings of uneasiness about in. this. Other concerns regarding the Square dance lessons available tioned by city councilman Stephen Whitesides, who said there is a choke point in this part of the county where there needs to be more roads leading to Salt Lake City. That is a legitimate concern, said Sanders, but Legacy changes drastically the character of Davis County. and Legacy would only He said that be 100 yards apart in some places.

Julie Adduddell, VISTA coordinator at Meadowbrook Elementary, said she now has 30 volunteers but hopes to get a lot more. With (tutoring) I think we can help kids as much (as they were helped with Title One)," Adduddell said. However, she wishes she could benefit from all the computers and software that the previous Title One program had in her school. Sometimes reading is not their thing for the day, she said of her students. Sometimes its nice to have other things they can do and still learn and they dont think they are learning. Adduddell said her school has a number of large classes and, as a result, a lot of students are falling behind in reading. Thats scary because they need to be able to read and function in the world, she said.

And he agreed that being in the power business is not really good for government, but said, If it aint broke, dont fix it. He said the power rates will triple in the communities that have their own power companies if they have to go out of the business of providing power to the city.

"Some of the residents in the Fruit Heights area wait up to five minutes at times just to get a dial tone," Maynes said. Trish Eynon, who lives in the same subdivision as Maynes, said she remembers having this problem two or three times this summer. Jackie Vance lives about a mile and a half from Maynes, on the east side of U.S. 89. We experience this problem almost every night. It's especially frustrating when Im in a hurry to locate a child at a friends house, Vance said. I often resort to using my cellular phone when I cant wait for a dial tone. Vance said that her neighbors also experience the same problem, and when they complain are told that it is a problem with the phone lines inside their house. The problem occurs consistently between 7 and 9:30 in the evening and has been going on for months, Maynes said. Part of it might be caused by increased Internet use during those P.
