Application of the R5 zone will allow smaller setbacks on four hack lots in the Gray's Place subdivision. The R8 zone was reapplied to a parcel fronting 1200 North. I'D-17 Zone signs... The council was not ready to change regulations of a site-specific zone to allow signs, at least until they see a definitive plan from the applicant. The city adopted the PD-17 zone on property located at 80 East and 1200 South in 1999 in order to accommodate a senior housing project, a project that the mayor and council agreed is "beautiful" and meets the needs of seniors. One of the requirements require-ments of the zone is that the project have no signs identifying identify-ing it, but the project's sponsor, the Housing Authority of Utah County, was requesting that the ordinance be amended to allow a 6 x 6 foot maximum-size maximum-size monument sign. Councilmembers appeared uncomfortable with the sign proposal, expressing the feeling that allowing signage was a step back from the goal of having hav-ing the housing blend into the neighborhood. Residents reportedly want a sign identifying the project to make addresses easier to find and to facilitate faster emergency emer-gency response. "I'm five foot two, and six feet is really tall to me," said Councilwoman Judy Bell. "I wouldn't want this sign in my neighborhood it creates problems... I'm uncomfortable with signs in the neighborhood neighbor-hood ." The council passed a motion to continue the hearing so the applicant, who was not represented repre-sented at the meeting, could present a design and respond to questions. Accessory apartments and home occupations... The council decided to have a joint work session with the Orem Planning Commission on August 2S. and to continue a heating on a proposed amendment amend-ment to the city code on accessory acces-sory apartments and home occupations to the September 1 1 council meeting. The planning commission i - r ! Two jet skis on a small white trailer were stolen from the front of a residence sometime last Tuesday night in the area of 200 S I'alisade Drive.

He was taken to I'tah Valley Regional Medical Center to be treated. A 19 year-old Lindon man reported to police the night of August s that a group of males in a red Nissan Sentra had point ed a gun at him and his passengers while driving northbound on State Street at about 1000 N. The incident occurred at about 11:00 p.m. According to the victim, the people in the red Nissan were making laces at him and his friends, so, of course, they made laces back A back seat passenger in the red Nissan pointed his linger ( like a gun) at the victim and his friends, so not wanting to be outclassed, the victim spit the gum in his mouth at the red Nissan With the "one-upped ya" ball now in his court, the finger pointing passenger in the red Nissan reportedly pulled out a chromed pistol and pointed it at the victim. The victim peeled off of State on a side road and quickly made his way to the Orem Public Safety Puilding to report the incident. ' ( M licers recovered the two stolen Polaris jet skis and the Four Winns boat that were stolen last Wednesday night in Orem. The stolen property was recovered at a location just off of Geneva road, not far from where the boat was stolen from. Officers arrested arrest-ed a 27 year old Orem man in connection with the theft. ! There was a burglary at Cook's Greenhouse ( 1645 W. 1600 N.) sometime last Thursday night. Someone cut the lock off of a storage stor-age shed at the business and took two Makita drills. Officers arrested a 17-year-old Orem boy and a 16-year-old Spanish Fork boy Friday night at about 10:30 p.m. for committing auto burglaries in the area of 300 S. 1000 W. The boys broke into five cars in that area and were arrested and taken to the Slate Canyon Youth Detention Center. The stolen property was recovered recov-ered and returned to the rightful owners. A Palm Pilot was stolen sometime Saturday from an unlocked car parked in the Cascade Golf Course parking lot. A stereo and four speakers were stolen sometime Saturday night from an unlocked car parked in the Nickalcade parking lot. An enclosed Haulmark Trailer, white, with "Floors-N-Things" painted in black on both sides of the trailer, and valued at $7000, was stolen from the front of business sometime Saturday night. The business is located at approximately 750 N. 1200 West. had proposed that the city adopt an ordinance to limit home occupation businesses when the home also has an accessory apartment. Fences, walls, and hedges... The council amended city code on fences, walls, and hedges, modifying the requirement for fences on corner lots. City staff gave a quick slideshow, illustrating a number num-ber of existing fences that have been built within the setbacks on corner lots, but which usually usual-ly have little impact on the neighborhood. In order to permit per-mit these fences without creating creat-ing safety hazards, the amended amend-ed ordinance sets specific standards. stan-dards. Fences up to seven feet tall are allowed to the sidewalk on side-yard corner lots, but a "clear vision" area was created to ensure that fences built near the sidewalk do not inhibit traffic traf-fic safety. Clear vision areas are required for street intersections, intersec-tions, driveways, fences, shrubs, trees, and retaining walls. Under the amended ordinance, ordi-nance, the city engineer is allowed to modify the clear vision area based on nationally recognized safety standards. The planning commission is allowed to approve a commercial commer-cial fence constructed of materials mate-rials other than masonry if they make specific findings. Construction materials for residential resi-dential fences are limited to masonry, chain link, vinyl plastic, plas-tic, wrought iron, stone, redwood, red-wood, cedar wood, wood treated to resist rot and decay, and precast pre-cast concrete. Councilman Les Campbell said he has a problem with letting let-ting violations dictate city policy. poli-cy. In presenting the issue, Development Services Director Stan Sainsbury had acknowledged acknowl-edged that violations of the city code in this area are a "prevalent "preva-lent problem". "We have lost that animal," Sainsbury said. "It is beyond our ability to control." Councilman Bill Peperone said the city's current ordinance ordi-nance is "an anomaly" now, but that it makes for a "beautiful streetscape", and he could also see Campbell's point. Councilwoman Judy Bell said "making people legal" is not the point one of the council's main jobs is adjusting the city code. Councilwoman Karen McCandless said the ordinance ought to be examined on its own merits. EAT When the motion was made to approve the amended ordinance, ordi-nance, Campbell said, "I will vote aye, but it hurts." Referring to his concern about setting a precedent by letting violations dictate policy, he said, "I'll be around to tell you, "I told you so,' when it happens." hap-pens." The motion passed in a 6-0 vote. Honda of Orem flag pole... The council granted a conditional condi-tional use permit to Honda of Orem for a 120-foot flag pole on 100 East University Parkway. The Macey's flag pole is 110 feet, and the Harmon's is 100 feet; a 120-foot pole is the maximum max-imum allowed by ordinance. Councilwoman Judy Bell was a dissenting voter. "I believe in flag poles," she said, "I just don't think you have to have the biggest flagpole in town to be patriotic... A flagpole should not be an attraction to get someone into your business" busi-ness" Councilman Stephen Sandstrom made the motion to grant the permit. "I don't see how we can deny this when we have approved others, even if it is ten feet higher," he said. The council vote was 4-2, with Bill Peperone joining Bell in voting "nay". Provo Canyon School... An amended conditional use permit per-mit and site plan were approved for the Provo Canyon School campus at 750 North Palisades Drive. The amended site will have a 16,000 square-foot, two-story building addition that will provide pro-vide 32 more bedrooms, bringing bring-ing total floor space to about 58,000 square feet, and 127 beds. The school was allowed to defer 47$ of the parking requirement into landscaping, since the parking space is not needed at this time. Table zone and outline moratorium... mora-torium... A proposed new zone, the Highway Services 2 (HS-2), that was tailored for a recently-annexed recently-annexed area at 1580 South Sandhill Road, was tabled with the intent to bring it back for refinement and eventual use as a tool in the city council's toolbox. tool-box. After agreeing to requirements require-ments of the HS-2 zone, the applicant in the annexation case withdrew their application in full. In a related item, the council voted to have staff bring back an ordinance August 14 outlining outlin-ing a moratorium on development develop-ment in the area. National Park Service celebrates its 85th year On August 25, 2001, the National Park Service will celebrate cele-brate its 85th year. While the first National Park was established estab-lished on March 1, 1872, the National Park Service wasn't established until August 25, 1916 by president Woodrow Wilson.

As one of more than 8 National Parks and Monuments in Utah, Timpanogos Cave National Monument is the closest to the state capital. With a rich natural natu-ral and human history that includes rock layers dating back 350 million years to an initial cave discovery story that started with Mountain Lion tracks in the snow, the caves have been favorites among Northern Utahns for over 100 years. To celebrate the 85th Anniversary of the National Parks Service, Timpanogos Cave National Monument will offer several unique experiences experi-ences that will help commemorate commemo-rate both the history of the National Park Service and the Monument.
