Show , -- 2A Lakeside Review South, Wednesday, Apr. ,20, 1983 By IRENE R. JANES Review Correspondent The County Flood Control Department Is planning ahead to avoid possible spring flooding. The areas of particular concern are major canals. Added to the .departments concern is this .years record snow pack in the mountain. But flood control officials in the County are not only concerned about a quick warming trend, melting the snow too 'quickly but also the rising lake. . The county flood control workers are cleaning sediment and other debris out of water ways, including small creeks and ditches. A County worker, Don Nappies, said, Prevention and planning ahead is a sound County policy. Nappies and Bert Warren oversee that the free flow of Bountiful mountain water to the Farmington Bay is unhampered. Silt and sediment are ongoing problems which must be constantly cleaned out in some areas, especially on fifth south below 11th west in West Bountiful. A more serious cleanup problem is caused by unthinking and inconsiderate citizens. The more serious problem that citizens can help with Warren said, would be to cease Railroad CENTERVILLE tracks pass by to the west of Art Higgins property. To the east, Parrish Lane crosses an overfreeway. Parpass over the rish Lane becomes a dirt road d and goes up an incline over tracks and then back down. ' Higgins claims that if two pickup trucks come up on either side of the railroad tracks at the same time, you cant see the other one until youre right on top of him. If thats not the worst b. crossing in the state, its leertainly a close second. He told the Centerville City Council they should have the grade raised so vehicles can see each other when preparing to cross the tracks. for many years a Higgins said the general contractor city should also build a road west of the overpass. He said the citys industrial park and many of the citys highest revenue producing businesses are located in that area. He said the dirt road receives a lot of usage.

The workers said that individuals probably drive to Bard, find it closed and merely dis- card their garbage in the ditches. Workers wish to remind citizens that if pride in the environment or the community wont motivate you people then they should consider the fact that it costs tax payers money to send two workers out each' private enterprise handle it from then on.

Warren said, the one biggest problem item which is found so readily in county waterways is disposable diapers. They also said in one area six large bags of leaves blocking the creek.

In the summertime, neighbors to the road have to endure dust. . Higgins said theres also a drainage problem that he said could be handled by building an open culvert. Higgins said the matter had come before the council before. Councilman Norman Wright said he felt the matter went back at least five years when the council before heard complaints about the road and railroad tracks and considered taking action. Its probably past time that something should be done, he said. Mayor Neil Blackburn promised the city would take a look at the situation and place the matter on the citys priority list for the next five years. He said the matter would be researched and brought back to the council. He said ts difficult to know what to do with the railroad tracks. The road on the other side of the tracks may be built soon as propety there is developed. Blackburn said the matter should be researched to see whether something should be done right away or delayed for several years. i, , ; ; area for construction of new homes until the market can catch up with the demand.

Terri Christensen Marshall, who has been opposed to the RDA for sometime, said the agency offers a subsidy to special interest groups It spends an awful lot of money and does nothing, Mar, shall said about the agency. He said the functions of the RDA should revert to the city council and to the citys planning commission. He said new developments in the city should be done privateis not ly by developers but that something I feel should be done with taxpayer money. Sant said one of the positive aspects of the redevelopment agency is that it can bring about new business without having to raise taxes. Its probably the only program available the city has now that can do that without raising taxes. Marshall said he has been contacted by citizens opposed to redevelopment agencies in Sandy, Murray and Cedar City. If the initiative should be placed on the ballot, he said that would be first time that will have occurred in Utah with the RDA issue. The Bountiful City Council does have the option under the law to pass similar legislation disbanding the RDA - before the election. But Marshall said he felt there wasnt a ghost of a chance that will occur. Marshall said he felt confident that he would be able to obtain the required signatures. He said he will obtain a list of those who have signed informal petitions in the past opposing the RDA and will contact them to see if they are willing to sign petitions. to secure trees should be n0 Carole Cole sym- pathetic, although some have opted not to sign or place petitions in their stores. and collects miniatures, has tall and in good condition.

Packard knew of only two new subdivisions in the area. One is Northern Hills in Bountiful with higher range homes. The other is Smoot Farms in Centerville with medium price range homes. Moon, who is the developer for Northern Hills, said there are only four lots left for sale in that subdivision. He said there have been very few new developments in residential property in south Davis County for quite awhile. There has only been one new subdivi- sion built within the past year.
