On the basis of guiding the development and growth of the city around the Main Street area and other existing businesses; they have issued the following statement of their beliefs and attitudes on the matter. They believe that the people of Springville want and deserve a wider selection of goods and services. They would like to say sincerely that they welcome any and all businesses, and encourage en-courage them to locate here if they feel there is a need. However, they feel very strongly it would not be to the best interest of the people to rezone the area of 400 South between 300 and 400 East to a commercial type for the following reasons: 1. Devaluation of property. The property valuation of the residents bordering this area would definitely depreciate. It would not have the same residential appeal due to increased in-creased traffic, late shopping hours, and the problems related to commercial activity. 2. Additional zoning: It is not likely that commercial zoning could be continued east on 400 South beginning with the present area. There are existing barriers to this, namely the Art Museum, theMiddle School, apartment houses, and professional offices. 3. Team attraction. They feel that a centralized downtown shopping area tends to have an attraction power that is for the good of all. Springville definitely needs this team effort because of the tremendous problems related to being a "bedroom" city located close to a metropolitan shopping area. 4. They-believe that existing businesses have served as an 'anchor' drawing people into town, because of which the specialty merchants have benefited, in such ways as jobs and tax revenues due to increased in-creased sales. 5. Sporadic Growth; As an illustration Orem City in the past lost considerable business to Provo and Salt Lake City because of the way businesses were allowed to locate in an unplanned and decentralized manner. 6. Springville already has zoned an adequate commercial area for new business growth. Especially in view of the fact that almost all of Main Street is zoned Commercial. 7. In the downtown area we are experiencing a renewal of a positive attitude in regard to business in Springville. Examples of this are the remodeling of many of the stores, the addition of an operating movie house, the new First Security Bank building now under construction, new ownership of stores and no existing vacancies in the area. General session of conference set in Quarterly stake conference con-ference has been scheduled in the Kolob Stake for this Sunday according to Pres. William J. Pratt, at the Kolob Stake House. Sunday general session will begin at 10 a.m. and special arrangements have been made at the Springville First-Twelfth ward chapel for the conference to be "piped" in and members of the Springville First, Second, Twelfth and Fourteenth wards are asked to attend conference in that building. Music for the conference will be furnished by the Mapleton Fourth ward choir under the direction of Alma Whiting and accompanied by Sylvia Palmer. The Springville Fourteenth ward will provide the music at the First-Twelfth ward chapel under the direction of LaVon Chappell and accompanied by Wilda Oakley. Alten Christensen, 8. The study by the city planning consultant disignates an area for expansion some 13 blocks from the central area of Springville. They feel this is much more realistic than the proposed shopping center between bet-ween 300 and 400 East. They sincerely feel that it would be wiser to keep a planned centralized business district and avoid "leap frog" zoning: as typified by the proposed shopping shop-ping center. 546,911 revenue sharing check received by City A check for $46,911 has been received by Springville City for the second portion of the Revenue Sharing Fund. The check was for entitlement period commencing July 1, 1972, and ending Dec. 31, 1972. Springville's re-apportioned share totaled $97.768-$48,884 of which was received last month. According to an enclosed letter from Edward A. Fox, Director, Office of Revenue Sharing, the check received Monday differed from that of the prior entitlement period for a number of reasons. He said that the Treasury department has determined that a five per cent reserve be established to facilitate future adjustments tor this entitlement allocation. An amount equal to one per cent was withheld as a reserve for adjusting the first entitlement check. Distribution of the reserve and future reserve policy will be dependent on operating experience. The letter further stated that the secretary will keep the books open for the first second entitlements en-titlements until all recipients have had an opportunity under established procedures to review their allocation, and until he is satisfied that the data base is up-to-date and correct. The data used in calculating Springville's Revenue Sharing allocation was based on population figure of 8,790 inhabitants; $2,368 per capita income; $20,814,720 aggregate income; $244,351 adjusted taxes, and $90,517 intergovernmental transfers.

Sponsoring the protect is the Strand Companies, a California investment firm, through Leonard and Reed .Company, of Salt Lake.

They describe the proposed new shopping mall as having a supermarket, drugstore, variety store, and several specialty shops. It would take in the area between 300 and 400 East and south of 400 South Street to approximately 550 South. The requested zone change is from R-3 (Residential 3) to SC-1 (Shopping Center 1). The present R-3 designation allows only the construction of homes, duplexes, or apartment houses. The proponents of the mall have tentatively estimated that the new businesses could provide some 100 jobs. With an average in pay around $2.00 per hour, or near the $5000 per year mark, this might mean a total payroll for the area of around four to five hundred thousand dollars they state. In a brochure prepared by the Strand Company, the center, is proposed as drawing for business on the south Utah County area from Springville to Goshen. This gives them an estimated 30,682 persons in the "trading area" based on figures i of the 1970 census.
