Show Residents Petition Against Ordinance Petitions authorizing suit "questioning the validity of an ordinance amending a zoning ordinance . to allow asphalt mulch plants" were collected Tuesday by members of the Cottonwood Heights Community Council and the Cottonwood Planning District. Petitions were circulated chiefly in the new housing developements of Cottonwood and Cottonwood Heights areas. According to A. Earl Cox, chairman chair-man of the the Cottonwood Heights Commnuity Council, the residents feel tha proposed mulch plants will cause residential property to decrease in value; that the resultant smoke and dust will be a nuisance; and that the gravel spilled on the highway from trucks will be a safety hazard. Focal point of the attact is the proposed plant at 2700 East and 6800 South, Utah Sand and Gravel has a plant on that property and seeks to build a mulch plant there. As soon as the petitions are all in, Mr. Cox, Phillip Bullen of the Cottonwood Planning District and John Bair, zoning chairman of the Cottonwood Heights group will arrange a meeting with the Salt Lake County Commission. The County Commission will conduct another public hearing on the hotly-debated proposed mulch plants. |
