Show Thursday, October 6, 2005 SPRINGVILLE HERALD Irrigation company still blocldng west field developments Martin Conover SPRINGVILLE HERALD Springville Irrigation Company Com-pany is holding up development develop-ment in the West Fields because be-cause they won't sign off for drainage on developments underway un-derway according to Ryan Livingston at the Tuesday Springville City Council meeting. meet-ing. Livingston said that the company has been unresponsive unrespon-sive to telling them what to do to move on with their developments, develop-ments, and the Springville City Attorney said that he is supposed to meet with the irrigation irri-gation company's attorney sometime this week after which he might be able to tell developers a time line to solve their problems. The irrigation company is holding back because of liability liabili-ty issues based on the use of their drainage system in the West Fields by more and more developers. They want the city to assume this liability. Until these issues are re solved the irrigation company is refusing to sign off on the developers petitions. The pressure pres-sure is mounting because of the money that the developers have invested . Final approval was given to Five Star Development to finish fin-ish that project, but several options op-tions will have to be worked out on payment of the special improvement district (SID) problem that remains unresolved. unre-solved. Because of the non-payment of the SID by the former developer, de-veloper, all of the units in Five Star have liens on them so that the city is protected for payment pay-ment of the SID. The hens have caused problems for those trying to sell their units, lowering the price the they can charge for their properties. proper-ties. The approval was granted on the provision that the city attorney can work out the payment of the SID. A special award of appreciation appreci-ation was given to Robyn Webb for her service to the city with the Peer Court which has been used by teenagers who have received minor violations vio-lations in the law. The award was presented by the mayor who thanked Webb for all of the work she has done. Discussion was made concerning con-cerning the sculptures to be incorporated in-corporated into the proposed islands on Main Street. The sculptures will be paid for by donations and not by the city. The islands will also feature flowers and flowering trees. New Christmas decorations will be purchased this year because be-cause the old decorations will not fit the new poles which are being installed on Main Street. City Administrator Layne Long said the old decorations can be used on Main Street, but not in the four-block downtown area. The council is presently planning the formation of six neighborhood advisory committees com-mittees to represent geo- fraphical areas in the city ased on voting districts. Kari Gordon is heading up the com mittee and wants citizens living liv-ing in these areas to volunteer their service on these committees. commit-tees. A meeting is being planned for the fifth Tuesday in November No-vember to move this program forward. Voting this year will not be in the Maxum Building as in the past several years. Voters will vote at the high school, Art City Elementary, West-side West-side Elementary, the Maxum Building, Sage Creek and Brookside Elementary. A complete map wUl be published pub-lished in the newspaper prior to the November election. The city also sold 3.2 acres of ground in the mouth of Hobble Creek Canyon for $750,000. The mayor indicated indicat-ed that the money might be used for parks, but can be used for anything the council wants. The property was sold to Leslie DeeAnn Mower and Kenneth Dolezsar. An agreement was also worked out with the UV Ray's Swim Team which gave them a half hour more in the afternoon, after-noon, but will cut out the one and one half hour that the team had been using in the morning. The city attorney is to work out the details for the mayor to sign. The city council agreed to annex land east of the Hall Subdivision in the northeast section of the city somewhat below the lime kiln owned by Michael Robertson. The ground is not on the steep part of the mountain, but on a somewhat flat area and will put part of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in the city. Robertson wanted the an nexation so that the city police can respond to problems which might occur in the area rather than wait for the county coun-ty sheriff. Also the city council changed the zoning of the property located due north of the RV park near the freeway Maverik convenience store on SR75. The zone was changed from Light Industrial Manufacturing Manufactur-ing to Regional Commercial. It was pointed out that there are some wet land issues in the area and it might be some time before any development can be achieved in the area Mapleton Council says no to voter referendum this year Martin Conover SPRINGVILLE HERALD After what seemed like a good idea, to put the issue of the Critical Environmental 1 Zone on the ballot because of the expensive fight looming ahead, the Mapleton City Council Councilafter hearing public comment, changed its mind and decided not to put the issue on the November Novem-ber ballot. The measure has been a matter of discussion for several sev-eral weeks and several council members have discussed the problem with this reporter on various occasions. The major issue is about continuing the fight if a majority of citizens do not want to support the council. Also the matter of high legal expenses are a problem to the council when the money might be better spent for other city needs. The issue of transferable development rights (TDRs) was also discussed at the meeting last week. If this is placed on the ballot and defeated by the public, then the TDRs which have been issued by the city might become worthless causing great financial loss to those who have been selling TDRs and great problems to those who have been purchasing TDRs. The council agreed that the whole problem of TDRs, critical environmental zone and development did not just happen, but bis been on going for several years, and is an inherited problem by the present council. It will have to be decided in the courts because of citizen pressure. Taking everything into consideration, the council really real-ly had on choice but to pursue the course in the matter and killed the ballot issue by not acting at all.
