The power poles are presently located on "flat" land, and Gibby wants to move them further up the hill to where the grade is over 30 in the CE-1 zone. All of the land on the other side of the "fire road" across the Mapleton Bench has been zoned CE-1 to protect the mountain side from development. de-velopment. Gibby claims that he has been trying to move the poles for the past 18 months and the city has been stone walling him on the project. The city council claims that Gibby needs to work within the system, and in this instance in-stance that includes meeting with the Mapleton Planning Commission. f tzr ;"' -..ITL Of I The last day of Kindergarten can be class at Art City Elementary, it was some really sweet treats.
