PG man is an expert at wildlife sightings By Kalyn Secretan Joe Hilton watches the mountains every day with binoculars. He has seen about every animal there is from his home, even a wolverine. He watches from the yard and the upstairs window and sometimes from a church parking lot. Some people thought he was lying when he saw a wolverine, he said, but after visiting a museum in Vernal See COUGAR on Page 12 approximately 300 West along 3300 North to 900 West, something Schow has said he won't do. Schow has filed a complaint com-plaint with the Pleasant Grove City attorney because he feels approval of this subdivision sub-division was unfairly delayed until after the road alignment was decided. He requested an appearance appear-ance before the Planning Commission for approval in October. The Planning Commission approved the subdivision on the condition that the City Council did not approve the Commission's proposed 3300 North alignment with one dissenting vote by Commissioner Commis-sioner David Gaines. Commissioners Robert Bingham and Darrell Cook said they did not like the way the commission was going about approval of the subdivision, subdivi-sion, but voted in favor of approval. i V l : '.I.- .i . ...'.iii.j.l ff V.V a... the look, feel and presence r L SUBJECT TO PRIOR SALE.
