Show 4 Reapportion Board Will Ask For Legal Action GRANITE PARK. Legal action concerning 1982 school board elections is being sought through the Utah School Boards Assn, by the Granite Board of Education. The board voted, following an executive session Tuesday night, to strongly request the USBA to seek a legal test concerning House Bill 26 which would require that all five members of the board stand for election. While not taking a stand on the issue, the board said the issue must be settled. The current status of the bill is that its sponsor, Rep. Lee Farnsworth (Provo), considers it to have passed and the Legislative Council agrees. That bill clarifies which precincts will run for two and which for four-yea- r terms, which, in effect, states that all will run. The bill passed the House and later the Senate. Then it was retrieved by a senator and killed by that body. However, the Legislative Council has rulecHhat the retrieval was illegal and that the bill stands. In It was stressed that Farnsworth is no relation and not even an acquaintance of Miriam Farnsworth, Granite School Board president.

WEST VALLEY VIEW 4, 1982 Planners Postpone Ruling On Duplexes WEST VALLEY. The possibility d land here was postponed indefinitely pending hearings revising the citys master plan. City Planning Commission members decided here Thursday to seek public comment during the master plan hearing process or placing before removing restrictions on a provision allowing duplexes in l (agricultural) made up of the Meadowbrook, Bennion and East Taylorsville areas, would not be involved in the election of a board member until 1984, despite the fact that both current west side board members must run this term. There is some concern among superintendents statewide that entirely new boards could be created by HB26, with the loss of continuity considered a handicap. In seeking the legal action, the board stressed that it is not taking a stand on either side of the issue, but agreed that it should be clarified as soon as possible. - - A-- zones. Moreover, board member Budd Rich contended that a change at this time, without proper study or notification of property owners, could be disastrous, particularly considering the depressed state of the housing construction industry. Currently, a duplex (and a duplex subdivision) is a permitted use in an l zone, meaning that Planning Commission approval is A-- Jr pie not necessary for construction provided the lot has a minimum of 10,000 square feet owners, Morris said. A number of people have bought land zoned l with the intention of building a duplex on it for their children, Rich noted. With construction costs being what they are today, elimination of duplexes from that zone could mean that nothing would be built on the property, he added. Richs point echoed comments by builder Bryson Garbett, who told the commission that the considered change would make financing harder to obtain and could cripple his business and that of other builders. Garbett said he was developing a subdivision in Hunter with a mixture of single family homes and duplexes. Rich also said he believed most property owners would not learn of the change until they applied for a permit to build the structure. Then and other they would find they could not do so. A-- regular requirements are satisfied, planning staffer Jared Campbell noted. Since several commission members have said that allowance is inconsistent with overall zoning provisions, the staff felt prompted to prepare plans permitting the board either to eliminate future duplex construction in the zone entirely or limit it, Campbell remarked. Law clerk Paul Morris said limitations could be put it place by making duplex construction a conditional use, thus requiring Planning Commission approval. Because considerable chunks of land in the city are zoned a decision to eliminate duplexes from the zone entirely could cause hardships for many property A-- l, would People feel unduly downzoned and Id agree. I dont feel comfortable with downzomng somebodys property. he added. On the other hand, planner Edgar Todd pointed out, if market conditions dictate that land be used primarily for duplexes, and a change in the ordinance is not made, the city probably would end up with more rental units than is desired. Acting chairman Gerald Larson also found fault with the suggestion for tighter restrictions, noting that the commission has felt uneasy about its power to deny a conditional use permit. The master plan process will allow property owners to discuss the considered changes at greater length, the board decided. I TAi f MTU lbs.
