Events Point To Early Start On University Plaza Shoppiong Center Significant events leading to the construction early next year of Orem's new multi-million dollar 76 acre regional shopping center cen-ter were brought to light this week with a court decision, an advertisement ad-vertisement to road contractors, and the filing of an application: for establishment of a finance company in the shopping mall. The shopping center, tentatively tentative-ly designated as the University Plaza Shopping Center, is to be located on a site east of State Street, between 1100 South and the 1300 South freeway diagonal. NEW ZCMI STORE Hub of the shopping center will be a ZCMI store, with at least one other large department store and a number of other service ser-vice and specialty stores. Harold H. Bennett, ZCMI president, presi-dent, announced several months ago that the pioneer mercantile ground on the new Orem store April 1,1969, with completion due for April 1, 1970. ' Meanwhile, the shopping center cen-ter developers had petitioned the Orem City Council to vacate a portion of 1200SouthStreetin order or-der to provide for the orderly aevelopment of the property. However, prior to the Council's Coun-cil's taking legal action to vacate the street, Mrs. Emma Chittock, a resident on the street, obtained obtain-ed a temporary court order restraining re-straining Orem City from effecting ef-fecting the street vacation. COURT DECISION Following hearings in the Fourth District Court on Mrs. Chittock's petition to have the restraining order made perman-net, perman-net, last Friday District Judge Maurice Harding issued a memorandum mem-orandum ruling supporting Orem City's right to close the street "in the public interest." Termination of the restraining restrain-ing order will allow Orem City to proceed with closing 1200 South Street from 400 East to 700 East and make possible the joining together of the two shopping shop-ping center properties. DIAGONAL CONTRACT Other action pertinent to construction con-struction of the shopping center is the Notice to Road Contractors which was issued by the Utah State Highway Commission Dec. 5 for construction of the easter section of the BYU diagonal. The first leg of the diagonal extending on 1300 South Street from State Street to 900 East, is now nearing completion. The final section of the thoroughfare thor-oughfare which will connect the BYU stadium to Interstate 15 at Orem's 1200 West has been held up due to the extended negotiations ne-gotiations involved in obtaining necessary rights-of-way. The length of road to be constructed con-structed is 1.097 miles, and the principal items of work are approximate ap-proximate as follows 146,000 cubic yards of borrow, 17,000 tons of bituminous surface course, and Portland cement concrete con-crete as required. Also to be constructed are two structures over a 20 foot span. A contract on the prject will be awarded following the opening of bids on Dec. 23. Completion of the diagonal within with-in 140 working days will provide pro-vide a vital access to the University Uni-versity Plaza Shopping Center on or about June 1.
