Show Orem-Gcneva Times Wednesday, November 2. 1994 Page 3 Action tabled on Mountain View Village Subdivision The Orem City Council had no trouble October 25 rezoning property at 615 West 40 North from R-l-8 to R-l-7.5 to allow for :the Mountain View Village Subdivision, Sub-division, a development of multi-family multi-family housing. The trouble came in granting a conditional use per mit and preliminary plat approval ap-proval for the 16 units. After several motions were tried and failed in split 3-3 votes, action on the permit and plat was tabled until the full city council could consider the matter. At issue was a proposed 200-250 200-250 foot walkway requested by residents of the neighboring La Villa Rosa development to make it possible for students living there to walk through to Mountain Moun-tain View High School. Some council members expressed ex-pressed reservations on having such an easement, which would have to be fenced on both sides and lighted for safety. "Are we going to have parents who asked for it (the walkway) telling their children not to use it?" Councilman Council-man Chris Yandow asked. Mayor Stella Welsh and Councilwoman Judy Bell said they could not vote for the walkway because "it will come back to haunt us." Mayor Welsh noted that the city recently vacated va-cated a similar walkway near Orem High School at the request of area residents there.

He moved to adopt the policy declaration. Councilwoman Judy Bell seconded. Stating that it is "a pretty piece of land because of the rural nature," na-ture," Councilman Chris Yandow said it was a "natural move" to accept the citizen's petition for annexation. an-nexation. Mayor Welsh said when she settled in Orem, there were orchards or-chards all around her, but that has changed drastically. She also expressed ex-pressed her belief in individual property rights. Councilman Stephen Sand-strom Sand-strom said he had looked at the concerns of the area residents, and he is sad to see the land go, but the "driving force" behind his decision is also property rights rights to own and develop within the law. "This meets the law," he said. Vote of the council was 6-0 in favor of Clayton's motion.

Jones & Co. in the plans, and the height of a fence to help obscure the development develop-ment for an affected neighbor, Connie Davis. Mayor Welsh asked if the RV parking could be flipped to the other side of the development. A project representative said that could be done, but it would put the parking by La Villa Rosa. Davis said she would not object ob-ject to having the RV parking where it is in the plans, if an 8-foot fence could be placed to screen her property. The fence could be dropped to six feet elsewhere, else-where, she said. A motion including includ-ing the requirement for the 8-foot fence failed to pass. Councilman Kelvin Clayton said that different fencing heights would "detract from the project". With the impasse, the council voted to table action.
