Much of the labor has been donated. Sr. Citizen representatives Alice Johnson and Eva Hancock Han-cock attended the meeting to show plans for the new Sr. Citizens' Center east of the library in Bountiful. Mrs. Johnson said that the plans had been changed so that the building would look more residential. She indicated that Coy Hayward is planning an addition to the building which would house the paintings of . Mrs. Hayward and the works of other artists. Mrs. Johnson showed the floor plan for the . center. They plan to aid in the nutrition needs of the elderly. They will take meals to the home bound. Busing is being provided to the center. MRS. JOHNSON thanked the city of Centerville for the financial support they had given the new building project. Mr. Arbuckle was told that a basement is not planned, since it is difficult for many of the Sr. Citizens to go down the steps, also concrete is very expensive. Plans are being made to break ground July 3. Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Hancock asked the Council to consider an appropriation for the Sr. Center in the new budget. Jeff Bell approached the Council to ask to build a photographic pho-tographic shop in Centerville in the old Pharmaceutical Plant. This is located in a residential area, so the project would be a non-conforming use. since photographic pho-tographic shops are allowed in commercial zonings. Mr. Bell said that he would remove the tin garage and old shed and cars. They would take down the stacks and do some outside landscaping. It would be a benefit to the city to clean up the property. He said that, if necessary, he would ask for a zoning change. COUNCILMAN Smouse was assured that there is very little lit-tle waste to be dumped. He said that the Planning and Zoning Committee had heard the request and said that they 5uld not support the project. ,1iey weren't in favor of spot zoning or of having non-conforming usage in a residential zone. Mr. Noble said that it might be possible to declare the building a nuisance and have it torn down. As the ordinances or-dinances are at present, it is not possible to allow the request of Mr. Bell without rezoning. THE COUNCIL finally voted vot-ed to deny the request of Mr. Bell. The Council announced that they are looking into the possibilities pos-sibilities of revamping the ordinance governing rezoning. rezon-ing. Councilman Myers is anxious that it be amended or added to so that if the property which has been rezoned is not developed for the purpose for which the rezoning was requested, in a certain period of time, it would revert to the original zoning. Mr. Stahle, city Attorney, At-torney, is working on the legal ramifications of the changes. VAUGHAN Fowler, of the Pyramid Corporation, approached the Council to ask for a permit to build more storage units on their property in the manufacturing manufactur-ing complex west of 1-15. Mr. Fowler stressed the fact that there is a need for storage units in the area. David Hansen, of the Construction Con-struction Material Corporation, Corpora-tion, attended the meeting to ask for a building permit to -construct a ready-mix plant in the manufacturing complex. He said that he is purchasing property from C. Taylor Burton. He wants to build in the area near the railroad tracks. The building will be 14' x 10-12'. It will be completely enclosed, except the conveyor to dump in the sink area. He wants to cooperate in every way possible possi-ble with the city and they desire to conform to ordinances. or-dinances. COUNCILMAN Myers emphasized that the city doesn't want people to see outside storage as they drive along the highway. Councilman Council-man Arbuckle said that the city should have a plan of how Mr. Burton is selling the property. Mr. Noble was told that the yardage capacity if from 135 to 200 yds a day in the summer months. Mr. Arbuckle reiterated the fact that there is a need for a road plan from Mr. Burton. Mr. Layton said that there is also a need to find out where the drainage goes. Mr. Hanson Han-son was given tentative approval, based on the drawing draw-ing up of road and development develop-ment plans by Mr. Burton Hopefully these plans will be forthcoming soon. ENGINEER Chad Mitchell was present to work on the signing of the contract with Call Engineering and the city of Centerville, for the Special Improvement District. Tobe and Beverly Pitt man again sought audience with the Council regarding their proposed project of cluster housing for senior citizens. They are requesting the rezoning of their property between 6th S. and 400 W. to allow for this project. They said that there is a definite need in the south Davis area for senior citizen housing. ALICE JOHNSON had said that she likes the idea of the Pittman proposal, especially if they provide shuttle buses. The Pitlmans said that their project is not apartment building. Councilman Layton said that he felt the city should wait to hear from Attorney At-torney Stahle before any action ac-tion is taken. He feels that the rezoning would be spot zoning. zon-ing. The conclusion was that Mr. Pittman will be contacted after Mr. Stahle has given an opinion.
