Alden Orme, Nephi City Police Officer, said the accident occurred because Brandon Massey, 18, Nephi, driver of the vehicle, had blocked vision of the crosswalk and did not see Shaw until his vehicle struck the boy.

The latest to seek the right to build attended council meeting on Tuesday. At that time, Mona Town Council agreed to allow Wade and Wendy Hansen to build a home at 60 West and 100 North in Mona. They will begin building before the moratorium, imposed because of the lack of culinary water, is lifted. The proposed home site is just west of the current home occupied by the couple. The Hansens agreed to use the water from their current home to supply the requirements ofthe new home by agreeing to a water meter transfer. "That will leave your current home without a water meter, said Bryce Lynn, mayor. Before a future owner could live in the home, he said, they would need to pay all the fees for connecting to the system including a water impact fee. Another problem with the Hansen property was a question about the size of the lot. "We have had the lot re surveyed, said Wendy Hansen. She said the property descriptions on file with the Juab County recorder were not correct. "This lot is actually bigger than mine," she said. The property description was not right. We had it re surveyed by a qualified surveyor and he determined the lot is large enough. Bryce Lynn, mayor, said the property on the county records was short of the lf acre requirement the city refor building lots. However, the quires new re survey indicates the lot is slightly larger than one half acre. The way I figure the footage, you have more than the required one half acre, said Lynn. Jeff Boyd, town building director and planning commission chair, will now review the application made by the Hansens to make certain it meets all the qualifications ofthe town ordinancone-ha- es. Mima Tbwn Council adopted a Water Service Transfer Agreement to have those who are transferring meters from one lot to another sign before a transfer is approved. "Basically what Scott Nelson, town secretary, and I came up with is an agreement spelling out the terms of all transfers, said Rick Schnurr, council member. It says; Ter property owners request, Mona Tbwn has granted moving water service now located at (street address) to (street address). Troperty owner authorizes this transfer with the understanding ofwater service at (street address) will be terminated. Before water service can be reconnected at (street address) the water impact fee will be paid." The word, 'current,' should be inserted before water impact foe so that it would read: Current Water Impact Fee," said Nila Keyto, town clerk. Council members agreed and voted to insert that word, for further clarification, into the agreement before it was adopted for use. In addition, all fees and expenses regarding the transfer of the meter will be the responsibility of the See tSafea on page 2 |
