"We simply need more power to handle the rapid expansion of our freight business," said John C. Kenefick, president of the Omaha - based railroad. rail-road. "Last winter's severe se-vere weather put a tight squeeze on our existing exist-ing fleet and we don't want that to happen again," Kenefick said. UP's present pre-sent fie et numbers slightly over 1,500 die-sel die-sel electric locomotives and 70,000 cars. The railroad has recently re-cently reported major increases in several kinds of freight including grain, coal, ores, chemicals, chemi-cals, automobiles and piggyback trucks. The new locomotives .will range in price from $726,000 to $811,000 each with delivery to begin next fall and be completed in the spring of 1980. All will be 3,000 horsepower. Kenefick said the new order is in addition to large purchases of locomotives loco-motives in the recent past. In 1977 UP purchased pur-chased 90 locomotives, in 1978 it added 100 and had already placed orders or-ders for 150 locomotives to be delivered this year.

A 30 - day moratorium morator-ium on development in the Vineyard area of Orem was passed unanimously unan-imously Tuesday night by th Orem City Council to allow residents in that area a chance to give input in-put to the Planning Commission. Com-mission. Councilman Wayne B. Watson made the motion after a lenghthy Council discussion on a proposed pro-posed six - month moratorium mor-atorium for both residential resi-dential and industrial zones in the area. Some citizens at the meeting expressed opinions that they had not had much input in-put into the development of the area and were concerned con-cerned about their property pro-perty in particular. Councilman Lee E. Bamgartner, petitioner for the moratorium, said that the moratorium should be placed on the area - excluding plats that have been approved or are in the process of being considered not to exceed 200 homes or the equivalent - because of the present lack of utility capacity. He said the moratorium should stand until members mem-bers of the city staff can prepare plans for the impact im-pact of development on water, sewer, surface and subsurface drainage, police po-lice and fire protection, and schools and roads. In addition, he pointed out, the staff should prepare pre-pare a concept for phasing of development upon reaching the 200 unit limit that will lead to the orderly development of that area. The moratorium would be lifted when sevices become available for the area. City planner Ed Stout, displaying a map of the area, showed the council that there are approximately approxi-mately 3,000 acres in the Vineyard area. A review of acreage in the area shows that approximately approximate-ly 60 is potentially developable de-velopable - excluding marshlands, church farms, public facilities, etc. "This could mean 3,500 to 4,000 new homes plus more than 150 acres of industrial in-dustrial development in the future," Mr. Stout said. "This translates to the probable t need for three or four elemen -tary schools, new roads planned for relief of probable prob-able traffic on Geneva Road, additional fire and police protection, and a much - expanded water and sewer service capability." It's likely that .one junior high school and two parks would also be needed in the area. Approximately 500 .acres in the area included includ-ed in the moratorium is basically west of 1-15 - j V: between 400 North and 2000 South. Councilman Bamgartner Bamgart-ner said that the Planning Commission has not endorsed en-dorsed the moratorium one way or the other but the group has discussed the area at length and has showed concern about the development in the area. A moratorium won't effect property values but will give people a chance to gradually come into the city in an organized manner," Mr. Bamgartner observed. ob-served. "A moratorium is justified because developers de-velopers already under way in the area need to be assured that they can finish fin-ish their projects - both in residential and industrial indus-trial development." It was also noted that the general area comes under the Sensitive Area Ar-ea Ordinance. Surface and subsurface drainage and condition of soils in the area are of major concern. "Careful and proper planning can help avoid problems being experienced experi-enced elsewhere," Mr. Bamgartner added. In other concil business, busi-ness, a public hearing on the new zoning ordinance ordi-nance for the city was continued. The council unanimously passed the mapping of various commercial com-mercial and industrial zoning districts shown and explained to the council by Mr. Stout. Most of the commercial zoning changes dealt with "squaring off" either side of State Street. During the series of public hearings on the zoni& ordinance, the council has adopted the complete zoning text and has mapped the residential resi-dential and the controlled con-trolled manufacturing Community Radar Speed Check Set Due to Governor Scott Matheson's request for increased enforcement of the 55mph speed limit, and his request of the motorists of Utah to take action to reduce unnecessary unneces-sary travel in an effort to offset a reduction in available energy resources. re-sources. The Utah Highway High-way Patrol and the Department De-partment of Public Safety intend to again offer a community radar speed check to assist the motoring mo-toring public and encourage encour-age compliance with our speed and traffic laws. This program is scheduled sched-uled by location and time throughout the State in an effort to assist motorists motor-ists in determining the accuracy of their speed Ns-' zones. Councilman Watson, after the presentation by Mr. Stout, commended the staff for the excellent work they accomplished in a rather short time -putting together a total zoning plan for the city. All other councilmen agreed. Darrell Clegg, representing repre-senting Spring Water Development Cor -poration, appeared before be-fore the council concerning concern-ing an agreement between be-tween the city and the corporation. After some discussion concerning a potential ppark near the lake and the potential need for an elementary school in the area, the council decided to postpone until its next meeting May 22 to consider signing the agreement. In other council business, busi-ness, they gave unanimous unani-mous approval for the sale of six parcels of surplus property )(about 10 total) for a grand total to-tal of $185,000. A minimum mini-mum bid was set for each piece after appraisal, and the sale was held on an open bid basis. Ten per cent of the money for each parcel was deposited; the remainder must be paid in 30 days since the council coun-cil approval. The council also approved ap-proved unanimously items that were considered consid-ered and recommended recommend-ed for approval by the PlanningC ommission: Sunstone, Plat A, 24 lots, 300 North 50 East; Central Heights, PlatC, 7 lots, 1480 South 235 West; South Canterbury Heights, Plat A, 4 lots, 200 South 230 East; and LaVell Estates, Plat A, 18 lots, 450 East 570 North. ometers. It is known that speedometers can read inaccurately due to mechanical me-chanical error, changing tire sizes, or even in new vehicles. It is hoped that by offering this program the Utah Highway Patrol will be able to encourage voluntary compliancewith the traffic laws in the state of Utah. We encourage encour-age all motorists to partake par-take of this free radar speed check program. In Utah County, May 11 and 13, the program will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on " SR-15 frontage road west of freeway between the two Springville exists. |
