Not affected by the moratorium, however, will be a proposed Harmon's store, to go in at the southeast corner of 800 North and 800 EastThe store had submitted a site plan, and under the current zoning, the business is allowed. But the Orem City Council did vote unanimously, unan-imously, 5-0, to deny a request from EsNet Management Group to increase the permitted use list by moving uses listed as "conditional" "condi-tional" to "permitted", and by adding ad-ding other conditional uses, such as video rental and restaurants. Residents' arguments proved to be quite persuasive to the council, coun-cil, including the point made by Sherry Young that if residents have to "live with" the current zoning, so should the developer. The city attorney was directed to prepare the necessary ordinance for the moratorium, which will have to demonstrate a Lakeridge Ledger by Ben Wanamaker Lakeridge recently participated par-ticipated in the 1997 Foreign Language Fair and was the runner run-ner up of the whole fair.

Just prior to the discussion of the Harmon's development or the moratorium, Public Works Director Direc-tor Richard Manning and Keith Larsen, city traffic engineer, made a presentation to the council coun-cil on 800 North traffic capacity, future growth projections, and plan line possibilities. Goals for the corridor, which is a federal highway not under the city's control, include: increasing in-creasing capacity to a seven-lane cross-section; adding shoulders to the roadway; reducing the number of access points east of State Street; providing a separated bicycle and pedestrian route; and installing landscaping. landscap-ing. As city officials have studied the issue of a plan line for 800 North, they have determined that expansion should probably go on the north side, which would help with the goal of eliminating I driveways backing out onto the thoroughfare. Manning said a meandering road, taking land from both sides, would not help traffic move most efficiently. "If you go on the north, you know what you're dealing with," Manning said. "But west of 100 West, it really gets sticky." Councilman Tim Christensen said that what was presented "seems logical" and "makes sense", but what really gives him heartburn is the possibility of the city having to step forward and buy right-of-way if a plan line is adopted. He s aid that would be an unfair burden to be bome locally. "And they don't reimburse," said Manning of the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). Can the city control what happens hap-pens on 800 North? "Absolutely," Manning said, "with zoning." If the area remains zoned residentially, the impact Johnson annexation approved The Johnson Annexation Plat, 17.84 acres in the vicinity of 1200 South Geneva Road, was officially annexed by the City of Orem following city council action ac-tion April 22. In a public hearing March 25, 1997, the council accepted public input on annexation issues is-sues and the proposed zone for the land, and adopted a policy declaration. State law requires a minimum mini-mum five-day protest period fol-lowing fol-lowing such a hearing. No protests were received by the city. The city did require that the owners of the property and the city sign the development agreement agree-ment before the annexation. City Manager Jim Beams told the council that $45,000 for a water line will be collected "on a per acre development basis". Land use designation was set as "community shopping" with a zoning of C-3. Surrounding Surround-ing designations and zones are: "community shopping" and C-3 . to the north; "industrial" and M-2 M-2 to the east; "medium density residential" and R-l-6 to the south; and "industrial" and CM to the west Councilman Stephen Sandstrom moved to approve the annexation. Council vote was 5-0 in favor. Mayor Stella Welsh and Councilman Steven Heinz were not in attendance at the meeting. Daycare center approved A conditional use permit was approved by the Orem City Council April 22 for Bailey Works, 3-Bear Care, a daycare center at 515 East 400 North. Eplicant was Lane Bailey. The daycare facility is incorporated incor-porated into the Bailey family's full-time living quarters. A maximum max-imum of 12 children at one time would be cared for. Licensing for the facility is required by the state. An existing driveway and carport area were designated as drop-off and pick-up sites in plans. Hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 5:20 p.m. There ore no outsida employees other than family members. will be much different that it ; .could be otherwise. ; Manning told the council that : he was not "asking for anything" ', with his presentation, and said '. he had "nothing to offer", because six months from now, the city will ; not know more about future 800 I North road development than is ! known now. In defense of UDOT, hesaid,theirsituationisalotlike '. the city's there are a thousand issues to tackle, and everyone ' believes their project is the most ; important. " Lisa Deason, chair of the Orem Planning Commission, ad- ; dressed the council and asked what the "vision" is for 800 North. There were plana that were implemented im-plemented for 1300 South in Orem, but uses and setbacks haven't been addressed for 800 North, she said. She spoke in sup-, port of a moratorium' to give the ' city time to form a plan. While agreeing with Manning that the city will not know more in six -months from UDOT, she noted ' that if Orem does nothing, " development will continue one project at a time - with no vision. Area resident Diane Stratton told the council, Tou don't decide a vision in five minutes or in two hours." By adopting the moratorium on 800 North, the city should buy some time to bring that vision into focus.
