The school doesn't, want to affiliate with the PTA, partly because the PTO wants all of the funds it raises "to go toward building a world class education for our kids," and partly because the school's founders don't wholly agree with the "values and agendas" of the national, state or local PTA. Asked their main point of disagreement disagree-ment with PTA, Openshaw-Pay referred to www.pta.org and said the national PTA requires or suggests that, to have a well-rounded PTA, "leadership be selected from various groups, including the homosexual contingent, con-tingent, and we just feel the PTA leadership lead-ership should be those who have the time and the energy and the commitment commit-ment to education, not those who have special interests." Timpanogos Academy is a public charter school, which means it was chartered by the Utah State Board of Education rather than a school district. dis-trict. Schools can be chartered for a type of school, like a deaf school or an arts school, or for a way of teaching. Timpanogos Academy's charter is for a way of teaching, the Core Knowledge curriculum. E. D. Hirsch's series of books What Every Xth Grader Should Know (where X is the grade number) is an example of the Core Knowledge curriculum. The school's curriculum also includes Open Court Language Arts, and Saxon Math. Anyone can apply as a student at Timpanogos Academy, though all the classes are presently filled. Siblings of current students get first priority for openings. Second priority 'goes to Alpine School District students. For more information on enrolling, contact school founder Michelle Smith (796-0357, (796-0357, michellesmithfam.org). Those attending the groundbreaking groundbreak-ing are invited to bring "a small item for the school's time capsule," which will go in the school's wall, to be opened in 25 years. unnell asks Lindon planners for duplexes, not triplexes lenW-Linff commission meet- ' the a with neighbors on the S Wit side of town strongly lookt'posing, and neighbors urs tmg 200 South and .600 . ry, tb'est accepting a less dense 'e andwpromise, as Brent, unnell revised his request two triplexes and asked r two duplexes, which, he jid, was more in keeping ' ith the amount of space mailable for R2 Overlay Eet ejects in the area.

Ron Anderson added that the units could be sold as two half-acre lots, but not four quarter-acre lots. Jim Peters asked if the design couldn't be changed. It looks like a large block U, or half a capital H with two stories on each side, and one story garages joined in the middle. Bunnell said he could work with that, and Peters suggested dormers on the garages to break up the roof line. The commissioners also discussed parking. Bunnell said he had designed the garages to be 20x24 feet, a little larger than usual, to hold things like a lawnmow-er lawnmow-er and bicycles. Some of the commissioners wondered if the setback should be increased by 10 feet to get another car or two into each driveway, since a couple of neighbors had talked about1 cars parked on the street as a safety hazard for children. Lott advised, against.-it because of the high water , table, saying that if the duplexes were set back another 10 feet the sewer lines couldn't go deep enough to connect to the main sewer line. Bruce Carpenter made a motion which included fencing, fenc-ing, and, on the garage, "dormers as wide as is reasonable." rea-sonable." Lori Atchison seconded sec-onded and the motion carried. car-ried. Peters said later that he thought the a provision in ' the R2 Overlay that allowed one acre to be developed into 6 units ought to be reexamined, re-examined, something he had . said at the previous meeting . when the neighbors neigh-bors complained about the number of triplexes that would be in their neighborhood neighbor-hood if the project were approved as triplexes.
