Todays session will begin at 9 a.m. in the upstairs conference room WEST VALLEY. The City Planning Commission will try, once again, today (Thursday) to find an acceptable common ground in rewording the home occupation ordinance governing preschools and day care centers. Planners had been slated to consider the matter for a third time on April 8, but that meeting in City Hall. Three other ordinances WEST VALLEY. Citizens interested in running for governmental posts this fall must file by Monday, according to county election officials. The deadline applies to most positions, with the exception of justices of the peace who must file by June 30, according to County Election Clerk Kay Llewellyn.

It falls into the category of It would be nice, but . . particularly in view of the economic realities which confront West Valley and other cities these days. Numerous parks with various forms of recreation equipment truly are desirable perhaps necessary in the future but for now theyre frills and, as such, must be placed on the back burner while most funding is allocated to legitimately necessary government services such as police and fire protection. That seems to be the consensus of thought in City Hall and among citizens serving as members of parks and recreation committees working on a revised version of the city masterplan. Two weeks ago, several commite tee members and planning director John Janson, coordinator of the master plan process, toured several Salt Lake City parks and the citys maintenance facilities. Two committee members came away impressed by what they saw, but both agreed that West Valley is a long way off from implementing anything even resembling a comparable system. As Nadine Hart, who represents District 2 (Jordan River to from 3500 South to the citys south boundary), observed: Salt Lake City has a fantastic program but theyve been working at it for a long time. Its too bad. Were hurting for it. The beauty of our city is hurting for I would put it on a higher it I priority but what can you do guess you have to be realistic, she added. Elaine Jones from District 6 ( 4800 to 7200 West, 3500 to 4700 South) shared similar views. People in her district, she said, were excited that talk about park development has begun but feel that other problems are more important. People are far more concerned about the status of schools in the area and whether their children will have to be bused to other parts of the valley, she noted. And, both committee members ., belt-tighteni- , - long-rang- ... ... Officials have expressed an interest only in those cases where the developer has expressed a willingness to maintain the park, at least for the time being. No commitments are solid. A similar situation involves smaller county-owne- d parks such as Granger and Hillsdale park. Swensen confirmed that sometime in the future, the (5-2- position. As Janson pointed out. Salt Lake Citys maintenance shop is as big as West Valley City Hall. Swensen also noted that purchasing maintenance equipment and spare parts, and hiring employes to do the work is quite expensive. Maintaining small parks, he added, is even more expensive than caring for larger regional facilities. City officials have been approached by several developers offering to trade an acre or two of land - to be used as a park - for an allowance to increase the density of their proposed housing developments. -- Anderson -- (five TAYLORSVILLE.

But not in the near future, he added, because the city can't afford - nor wants to - maintain them.

Unfortunately, we dont have somebody with a lot of money to put into a park. And federal funding has so many strings attached, she added. City officials are highly cognizant of the desire for more parks and their limited capacity to enhance the overall situation. One major improvement is in the works: paperwork is being completed on the acquisition of acres on the northwest corner of 4400 W. 3500 South for a park in the center of the city. The property is being purchased from Granite School District with federal Community Development funds. Further west, the county is proceeding with improvements on Hunter park, categorized as a district park because of its size and the nature of its facilities. But the real dilemma involves smaller parks: community acres), neighborhood acres), ( up to 2 acres ) Since the policy of the County Recreation Board is to limit the countys involvement to the larger community and regional parks, superintendent Gary Swensen said, smaller parks are essentially a city responsibility. Both Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Hart liked the idea of neighborhood parks which children and older people can use within walking distance of their homes. But city officials recognize that they dont have the money to maintain, let alone develop, smaller parks. Maintenance is a costly pro- 4600 So. 4000 West.

Planners have expressed concern that developers could obtain zoning on the pretext of constructing offices, then turn around at a later date (or, more often, after a land sale) and build multiple units on the property. The zoning would permit such action, they noted. The draft ordinance would resolve that problem, specifying a zone for professional offices.
