Funeral Travel board requests funding Mark Wilson and Nikki Farmer of the Dinosaurland Travel Board gave an update to the Uintah County commissioners commission-ers on Monday April 14. "This is a rare occasion. We have Nikki here, she had been busy," Wilson said. "She has been at five different shows, most on the Wasatch Front, passing out 10,000 brochures. When not on the road, she answers an-swers over 200 tourist requests for information. Last year, she sent out 46,000 brochures." To enhance the tourist travel experience, the travel board was before the commission requesting request-ing funding for two projects. Both projects are partnerships in'" tourism with' the Flaming Gorge-Uintas National Scenic Byway 63-mile drive from Vernal to Flaming Gorge Dam on U.S. Highway 191. Developed almost 15 years ago at a cost of $250,000, the byway has 18 pullouts and four nature trailheads all with the theme of Wildlife Through the Ages. "There are 28 signs that describe more over a billion years of geo-history for the auto tourist," said Wilson. "Since it was established, the information informa-tion has evolved and some signs need revision. Ten signs need new geologic names, nine are inappropriately placed and 13 u Need a Sprinkler System?

The plan to re-energize the hyway tour experience will also add some more local advertising. advertis-ing. The projected cost of revising and adding more than 100 signs will be around $100,000. Travel board finances are largely covered cov-ered with the exclusion of a 20 percent match, which Wilson says will come in part from the Utah Geological Survey with $10,000. The other $10,000 for the effort was requested of the county. "The second project is for $12,500 to develop welcome signs to the byway access in Vernal and Rock Springs," says Wilson. "We expect both projects to be covered by the Dinosaurland Dinosau-rland Travel Board funding through monies derived from the transient room tax money." The commission approved the requests noting that sufficient suf-ficient funding was available for tourism information in the budget. Dinosaurland travel board offices will be moving from Main Street to the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce in June. Finally, the updated edition of the 2008 Dinosaurland Travel Guide will be out shortly for public distribution. Authorized Dealer TCHD, Ballard ease camp trailer policies ByPrkmMcCotl Uintah Basin news Service Ballard Town officials say they are ready to soften the enforcement of policies against people living in camp trailers in residential areas, following a lead set by TriCounty Health Department. "I don't know what to do about it," Mayor Tom Nordstrom said at the start of a discussion during last Tuesday's Ballard Town Council meeting. "People are using travel trailers because of lack of housing." "There are thousands and thousands of trailers in the Basin," Ba-sin," Darrin Brown, TriCounty Health's director environmental health, told the council. "We've decided we're just going after those who are causing a problem, prob-lem, like dumping sewage on the ground. We used to tell people they had to move, but they just moved to their neighbor's. It didn't get rid of the problem. "We just don't have time to go look at everybody's travel trailer outthere," Brown continued. "If there's a complaint we'll go look at it. But if they aren't causing a real problem, we aren't going to issue a citation." Even those found causing problems, Brown said, are usually usu-ally given a short time to clean up their mess, then advised where they can dump trash or sewage legally. Health department offices of-fices in the Uintah Basin have fliers listing all the known RV parks and stopping areas that have sewage dump stations. Brown said it is not illegal for people to use travel trailers in residential areas. But city zoning regulations normally limit the consecutive number of days they can be occupied, with the intent Industrial rezone fails to pass county commission A proposed rezone of property at 2800 E. Highway 40 failed to get approval at the April 14 Uintah County Commission's regular meeting. Rezoning was requested for a privately-owned parcel from Al-argicultural to Il-industrial where a portion of the property was already in use for industrial purposes-) fr, rv ! ". Al zoning is for agricultural lands and is intended to protect farm land from industrial encroachment. en-croachment. However, II zoned industrial lands abut the parcel in question. ques-tion. The re-zone was requested to make the jagged alignment smoothed and permit further industrial uses. The property proposed for change is adjacent to Pebble Acres, a long-established residential resi-dential subdivision south of the highway in the Davis area. Residents of the subdivision requested that the county commissioners com-missioners reject the proposed change as it would adversely X k that they only be used occasionally occasion-ally to house visitors. But those regulations aren't based on health issues and aren't the health department's direct concern. "We should probably make the same policy," said Ballard Coun-cilwoman Coun-cilwoman Tammy Meacham. Councilman Bob Abercrombie agreed. "I myself can live wit that as long as they dump where they're supposed to," he said, i Some RV parks don't have their own sewage dumping stations, sta-tions, though, including the one run by Roosevelt City behind the Maverik convenience store in Ballard. According to TriCounty Health's list, the only dump station in the Roosevelt-Ballard area is at Kody 's RV Park, located at 1305 W. Hwy 40. Kody'sco-owner Kitty Conover said the park has a dump where RVs can empty their holding tanks for $5. The dump station drains directly into Roosevelt's municipal sewer system.

A nearby farm resident stated further that the current industrial use allowed waste water to pour onto the edge of his field. The borderirtg vegeta-tion vegeta-tion was destroyed as a rosult of the contaminated water. Several years ago, Uintah County determined that the property aligned with US Hwy 40 from east Naples to Jensen would be zoned industrial. This has concentrated oil and gas related yards along the highway away from the residential portion por-tion of the community. Even with this rezone, the rapid expansion of the resources extraction in the region finds industrial in-dustrial properties at a premium in the county. Similar requests and concerns for rezoning are expected to arise as the economic boom continues in the county. |
