The decision gives long-time resident Owen Quarnberg the go ahead to construct a cabinet shop on property prop-erty between 1600 West and the Highway at about 750 North.

Volunteers are needed before, during and after the approval of a new zone designation designa-tion that would have strictly limited commercial development in the area. Planners pointed out current law allows many types of businesses in general commercial zones that are not compatible with residential use. The commission commis-sion has been working for some months to write a new ordinance that would restrict commercial enterprises to create a buffer zone between residences and heavier commercial uses. Although supportive of the commission's goal, the council voted four to one for the rezone, mostly because an earlier similar request had been granted to another immediate neighbor. Several council members felt denial of Quarnberg's request constituted discrimination, even 1 f 4-' If ill 1 -m ' ..-..L ...,,1 , I .;, falsi i'. , f -3 , Lv U SPRINGVILLE, UTAH were under the influence of speed when taken into custody, he said. Springville' s problem with speed is not enormous when compared to larger cities' problems, but it is more than police want to deal with, he added.

He said he has seen parents arrested for using speed when the children were starving. , ,J!It (methamphetamine addiction) addic-tion) takes every cent you've got," he said.

Volunteers should register by Thursday, August 10. - According to Boyer, Senator Hatch is very interested in the Springville Art Museum and the good it serves the community and the state. Anyone wishing to play golf in the Congressional Challenge, business or private donors, can also contact Mr. Boyer at the museum. MM though it was during the commission's com-mission's study of the earlier request the need for a buffer zone was discovered. Although neighbor neigh-bor Lynn Bjarnson's request was granted, it was with the stipulation stipula-tion he conform with the new "neighborhood shopping" zone when it finally went into effect. Council members pointed out the city's great need for an expanded ex-panded commercial tax base. "We've got people going out to ! invite businesses into the city and when our own people come in, we turn them down," council member Wynn Everett lamented. But councilwoman Marilyn Petersen, who also serves on die planning commission, asked the council not to compound its earlier error by allowing the 84663 - August 9, 1995 Fetherolf said police should be notified of anyone using speed, even if parents find evidence evi-dence that their children are abusing the drug. Covering up family members' drug problems worsens the situation, Fetherolf said. People on speed always go back to it after treatment unless they are given in-patient care to get them off the drug, Blackhurst said. Utah County only has one - in-patient treatment center, and it has ten beds, he added. "I've already arrested people that are going to outpatient treatment. treat-ment.

The council listened to cautions cau-tions that approval of Quarnberg's Quarn-berg's request opens the door to a "domino effect" that could significantly expand general commercial use of the neighborhood. neighbor-hood. They were also told not to approve the request based on Quarnberg's reputation or plans, but to base their decision on any landowner's potential use of the property as it could change hands and be turned into a completely different and more intrusive and offensive project. The only dissenting vote was cast by Mrs. Petersen, who reiterated reit-erated her objection was based on the proposed neighborhood zone as a "better fit," and as providing better, protection to residents. |
