BDOHlfifiBI lnlir A well attended public hearing was held Tuesday evening during the regular city council meeting concerning con-cerning the proposed annexation of property along the west side of the freeway from the "airport" road north to the north interchange into the city. Following more than an hour's discussion the council decided to table the matter pending further study and promised to make a decision on the matter in two weeks at the next regular council meeting. Speaking for the planning commission, com-mission, chairman Robert Crandall outlined the boundaries of the proposed annexation and the property involved and noted that if adopted the annexation an-nexation would pretty much set the north and south boundries of the city with respect to Provo and Spanish Fork. The basics of the proposed annexation an-nexation have been published for several weeks in a public notice in previous Springville Herald editions, as well as the legal description and policy statement being on file at the city office. of-fice. Cranciall also noted that the planning commission approved the proposed annexation.

Hendricks, attorney for the special trial unit of the Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., presented the case for the government. He was assisted by Harriet McFaul, trial attorney at-torney for the Department of Justice. The indictment in this case was returned on June 19, 1980, and had charged Grant H.

Calf be in Provo City. All other boundaries were to Provo City's satisfaction. Judd Harward, chairman of the Spanish Fork Planning Commission also spoke at the meeting and indicated that Spanish Fork was satisfied with the proposed boundary situation. It was noted that the Springville City Council met with the Spanish Fork City Council to work out an agreement between the two cities prior to the public hearing. Harward, however, being a landowner lan-downer in the proposed annexation stated his opposition to the matter saying he felt that growth in the area should be orderly, and that he was concerned about improvements such as sewer and water, felt that Springville had enough area for business already in the city, and that the city's policy about animals might be a problem. He also mentioned increased taxes and the fact that the 1974 master plan for the city did not include the proposed annexation. In closing he stated "Let's don't go off on a far-fetched venture as they propose tonight." Packard Condie, speaking for the annexation, indicated that the group favoring the annexation had the required number of signatures and assessed value to meet the law. He also noted that, if annexed, the property could be used to fit his needs as well as the farmers in the area.
