Halloween decorations are all over town-ghosts hanging from trees, jack-o-lanterns on yard lights, pumpkins and corn stalks on front porches, witches keeping guard over front doorways, and windows fairly brimming with black cats, and other pictures. You can see them all if you spend a few minutes riding around Springville and Mapleton. But these evergreens at the Calvin Jolley residence at 673 S. 100 E., Springville, are North Stake , The Springville Utah North Stake Center is rapidly nearing completion according to High Councilor Harold Whiting, Physical Facilities Representative for the Stake. The beautiful new building is located at 4th North and 4th East in Springville. Nearly an acre 41,500 square feet) of lawn has been planted in sod. Nearly 1,000 shurbs and 73 trees have also been planted on the grounds of the new stake center. All of the work on the grounds has been accomplished by donated labor and equipment according to Mr. Whiting. He expresses his thanks to those who have been involved in the project. In a special project the stake primary children raised more than $600.00 for a handsome flag pole which has been placed on the lawn in front of the building. mm M mm to get parking Car poolers from the Orem and Springville areas will soon get formal parking lots where they may leave their own vehicles while they ride to work in a car pool. Numerous randomly and sometimes illegally parked vehicles left each day by car poolers encouraged the Utah Depart ment of Transportation to plan two new commuter parking lots along 1-15 in the two new commuter parking lots along I-15 I-15 in the Utah Valley. One of the new lots will be at about 400 South near Springville and a second at about 800 North in Orem. Bids were opened Tuesday on a contract for construction of the two lots. The apparent low bid of $93,372 was submitted by J. M. Sumsion and Sons of Spanish Fork. The official engineer's estimate for the 60 working day project was $90,754. The commuter parking lots will be located between the frontage roads and northbound 1-15 near the Orem and Springville interchanges. They will be built on state-owned rights of way and will each hold about 80 parking stalls. The Orem lot will also be lighted. Mark Musuris, UDOT Design Review Engineer, said UDOT has worked out agreements with Orem and Springville cities to maintain the lots after the are Utah valley commuters (3 t iMMrtaMiMiil QtiMt Center nears completion The large parking lot on each side of the building have been surfaced with blacktop and marked for individual cars. A six-foot chain link fence with cedar bats makes an attractive enclosure en-closure on the east side of the facility. An electronically controlled sprinkler system has been installed in the lawn with a grid of nearly three miles of wire that actuates the valves for desired time sequences. All of the classrooms have been painted and the building will be fully carpeted, including the classrooms. Beautiful stained glasswork has also Urn completed in the chapel. The eyecatching eye-catching tower has been put in place with its copper work shining in the sun. The bottom part of the tower on the interior ol the building will be used for a sacrament preparation room. A fine organ with exposed pipes will lots constructed. Orem City has also agreed to pay the light bill for the lot serving Orem area residents. Mr. Musuris said, "present random parking in both areas is not always safe and sometimes illegal," and establishment establish-ment of the new lots will solve these problems and further encourage car pooling, a major energy saving practice. prac-tice. "To the individual car pooler, the reduced cost of getting to and from work is no doubt also a significant factor in increase! car pooling and all the more reason for UDOT to continue providing safe and convenient commuter com-muter parking lots," said UDOT Assistant Director C. V. 'Skip' Anderson. An-derson. "The existing commuter parking lotat American Fork is heavily used." Mr. Musuris said the Orem and Springville parking lots should be in service by next July. "The contractor A'lll probably start grading the lots and pouring curb and gutter this fall, and pave as soon as weather permits in the spring. We expect the two new lots to be filled to near capacity within a year of two." Three more lots, to serve Salt Lake Valley residents, are now under design, according to Mr. Musuris.

A special genealogy room has been incorporated. It will have eight microfilm, or microfiche readers installed in-stalled to lie used by stake members. The chapel, multi-purpose room, kitchen, baptismal font and room, plus other areas of the building are being rushed to completion. Air conditioning and heating systems have also been installed. The chapel will have a seating capacity of 1,200. Mr. Whiting pointed out that all parking lot drains follow the natural slope of the ground from South to North.

The resolution, on file in the city offices, outlines flood protection standards for all construction and development activity within the FPO flood plain overlay zone. Broken down, the resolution outlines general and specific requirements for buildings and structures in the various zones, mobile homes and mobile home parks, subdivision, and water and sewer facilities. A complete copy of the flood plain ordinance is published elsewhere in today's Springville Herald. General requirements for buildings and structures state that they must have a low flood damage potential, shall be constructed and placed on the building site to offer minimum obstruction ob-struction to the flood or flood waters, be constructed with flood damage resistant materials and equipment, and be placed about on the same flood flow lines as those of adjoining structures. Requirements are outlined for structural storage facilities for anything which could be hazardous to public health safety or welfare, as well as building permit requirements. . Specific requirements , in the FPO, (Al-30) and (AO) sub-zones for residential structures and nonresidential non-residential structures are also detailed, including statements as to which plans must be submitted to the Flood Insurance In-surance Administration and a Conditional Con-ditional Committment Letter or Letter of Map Amendment received by the city prior to the issuance of the Certificate Cer-tificate of Zoning Compliance. In non-residential structures where the flood-proofing option is utilized a registered professional engineer or architect shall sertify that the Flood-proofing Flood-proofing methods are adequate to withstand the flood depths, pressure, velocities, impact, and uplift factors and other factors associated with the base flood, and a record of said certificates cer-tificates indicating the specific elevation to which such structures are flood-proofed shall be maintained with the building inspector. All mobile homes placed on the two zones shall be anchored to resist flotation, collapse, or lateral movement by providing over the top and frame ties to ground anchors. Specific requirements for anchoring the mobile homes are outlined in the ordinance, as are requirements for mobile home park ground elevationjetc. The ordinance states that all subdivisions sub-divisions with in the FPO shall be reviewed to minimize potential flood hazards as follows: all subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage, shall will house tw o Wards and the Stake Offices at the present time. Number Forty-Three h'i have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems located and constructed to minumize flood damage, and where flood data is not available such data shall be provided by the developer as part of the preliminary plan. All new and replacement water supply systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system; new and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharge from the systems into flood waters; and on site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding. The Flood Boundry and Floodway Map, September 1978 edition, and the Flood Insurance Rate Map September 1978 were adopted for use within the city. Auto-pedestrian accident fatal to Springville man A 57-year old Springville man was killed Monday evening when he was struck by, a vehicle while, he was crossing Hobble Creek Road in Hobble Creek Canyon, Springville. A Utah Highway Patrol report stated that Glen Barker, who lived in Hobble Creek Canyon got out of his car and walked across the street to mailboxes. He apparently heard a car coming, the report stated, and started to run-running run-running into the path of a vehicle driven by Andrew S. Jolley, 58, of 634 W. 1850 N., Provo. The report stated that the victim was thrown 78 feet and estimated damage to Mr. Jolley's vehicle was at $300. The report said the accident occurred oc-curred just before 8 p.m. at 30 Oaks Ranch in Hobble Creek Canyon. The victim was taken to Utah Valley Hospital by Springville Ambulance. He was pronounced dead on arrival. The Highway Patrol is still investigating in-vestigating the accident. Fire Prevention focuses on need for home safety Homes usually are the scene of happiness and securiy. But fire prevention officials say homes all too often are turned into scenes of tragedy and death. Three out of four fire deaths occurred at home last year according to the National Fire Prevention Association. Nearly 10,000 Americans died in fires during 1977, and an estimated 7,800, or 78 percent of these deaths occurred in homes. The Institute offers families the following suggestions, any one of which may help save lives or property. Have a family escape plan which includes a pre-arranged meeting place outside the house. Many parents have died in fires as a result of rushing back into a fire after a missing child. The child, in the meantime, may have been safely outdoors on the other side of the house. Nearly half of all residential fires begin as a result of cooking accidents. Grease should always be cleaned from the range. Curtains should not be near enough to the range to blow into or near the flame. Dishcloths, potholders and other flammable materials should not be placed carelessly near a flame. Defective electrical wiring and appliances account for 36 percent of residential fires. Installing or extending ex-tending home wiring is not a do-it-yourself job. Call in a qualified electrician. elec-trician. Leave a door or window slightly open when using a portable gas or oil heater. This allows the oxygen it uses to be replaced. Do not leave the heater burning during the night. Have an experienced serviceman go over your central heating system now don't wait for cold weather. He should inspect and clean flue pipes and chimneys to make necessary repairs. |
