The group was instructed to work out the crossing guard with Chief Larkins and Principal Lewis would work through the school on the parking signs. Mrs. Page was to contact Fruit Heights about the flashing light. MAYOR GLEN W. Cundall read a letter from Weber Basin reaffirming that they suggest that all users cut back to 60 percent of their contract amount, although they still have to pay 100 percent of the contract, but that they would store the unused 40 percent in the reservoirs for use next year in case the shortage continues.

THE PLANNING commission listened to general information from Gibbons and Reed, but said the study will be necessary before the commission hears a specific proposal. IT engineers study will determine whether the land will be suitable for agriculture use after the fill is removed. THE COMMISSION also required that LDS Church officials from the Farmington Stake submit a letter from the Stake President specifying that the church, which owns the property, wants the 43 acres leveled for agricultural use. The land is not flat enough to be used for farming at the present time. Spokesman for Gibbons and Reed told planning commissioners that, if allowed, the company will eo down 15 feet in the leveling process. They propose to remove the topsoil, excavate the fill and replace the top soil and natural cover as they go- THE COMMISSION said they will require that, when the project is officially presented for approval, the plan fulfill all contour requirements and that all area excavated be reseeded to prevent erosion. The initial proposal, as presented to the planning commission, calls for a cut in slope on the southwest section of the property. The section will be leveled to an elevation of 4275 feet near the creek.

Owner James Snyder asked for preliminary plat approval of a 15'2 acre lot subdivision in what is predominately an agricultural area.

He says todays films are mostly excremental pictures which are polluting and planning commission the southwest corner is very wet. He said there is opposition in Hooper against poisoning the public.

A-- 2 l COMMISSIONERS want to know what Kaysville City's plans are for the area before they allow a zone change. Before approval they will also require a drawing from Mr. specification that another building on the property be brought up to the building code.
