citizens would give us time to make some drawings and show them what we would like to do there they'd see we’re not proposing some tin sheds and a truck parking lot” Nickel told The Herald Journal But residents of the area told the council Thursday that they wanted to preserve the residential character of their neighborhood Several people told the council that the increased truck traffic would pose safety hazards to children walking to school in an area largely without sidewalks Bob Wagner said “I think you’re treating us like a slum area throwing this kind of stuff at us We've watched that area

citizens and turned out to comment Thursday on the proposed zoning ordinance for Nibley 'The main item of controversy at the 200 foot public meeting was the one-acfrontage stipulation on all lot sizes Jay Nelson chairman of the planning and told The Herald zoning commission Journal that the main concern of citizens against the requirement was the cost land-owne- rs re to one in favor of adopting the ordinance as written Former Nibley Mayor Golden Forsberg explained to the citizens that it was unlikely that Nibley could get federal funding for a sewer system when a city the size of Smith-fiel- d was still far down on the priority list His comments echoed those of the Nibley fector “A lot of people felt that one-aclots would be too expensive and would be particularly exclusive of young families frying to find homes” Nelson said 'however people seemed to understand that the one-ac- re stipulation was to forestall the necessity of constructing a shwer system” 'After much discussion a show of hands was taken on the issue of one-acminimum lot sizes According to Ora Lou re : re administrative secretary to Nibley ' Knecht Mayor Charles Johnson the vote was two - Planning and Zoning Commission which has been working on the ordinance since August 1977 Nancy Con ant planning consultant for the Nibley Town Council explained to The Herald Journal "On August 7 the council adopted the master plan prepared for them by the Utah State University Environmental Field Service Since that time I have been meeting weekly with the planning and zoning commission in order to draft this ordinance” Members of the Nibley planning and are Jay Nelson zoning commission Chairman Brent Womack Monte Buttars Jack Stevens and Ray Lynn If the commission was criticized for its recommendation on lot sizes it was praised for its efforts in getting a plan for Nibley "We’re 50 years old in this town and we’ve never had a plan” said Mrs Knecht “It’s about time we got one" one-ac- re Ms Conant said a number of people expressed concern about the traffic safety problem along Main Street The death of a Hyrum girl on Feb 19 in a head-osmashup focused attention on the concern Although the proposed zoning ordinance does not refer specifically to the traffic problem citizens wondered about the possibility of restricting residential development along the highway enforcing speed limits and straightening access roads to the highway The town council will meet in the very near future to vote on the proposed zoning ordinance Meanwhile the planning and zoning commission is continuing work on
