IMS and Untied Financial Scuuttief aic not affiliated a mi names Planners consider change in policies By Megan C. Wallgren The American Fork planning plan-ning commission discussed several changes to planning code at its March 19 meeting. meet-ing. : . A revision of the code outlining the duties and powers of the planning commission com-mission and the board of adjustment could be changed for stricter voting requirements. The change would require a unanimous vote by the commission to pass an action when only the minimum number of planners plan-ners needed to take a vote is present. This woul'd prevent a minority in the planning commission from passing law or approving development. develop-ment. Under current law, if only three planners are present, a vote of two planners, a definite minority when taking tak-ing the whole planning commission com-mission into consideration, could pass ordinances. If the new law passed, all three commissioners present, pres-ent, which would be a majority considering the whole five-person commission, commis-sion, would have to approve the action. Though planning commissioners com-missioners seemed to feel this would be a good change, there were some things in the amendment that needed to be changed or clarified. The commission postponed it, to be voted on at the April 2 meeting.

"We're making it public policy to establish a secondary second-ary water system. We have lots of well rights, but are deficient in surface rights which are important to a secondary system," said City Planner Rod Despain. Because of the emphasis on surface water rights in other cities, Despain said many other entities are taking tak-ing American Fork's surface water. "We want to keep the water naturally flowing into American Fork from the canyon in that stream," said city engineer J.H. Hadfield. "That does not prohibit those who have wells on specific property from using that as their water rights, but it will prohibit water from off-site wells." This amendment was also continued for a vote at the next meeting. The planning commission commis-sion is also considering two ordinances encouraging and providing for new types of development.

The requirements for water and sewer connection may be different for residents resi-dents in this zone. The requirements would be the same as in the county. Despain said this would allow annexation for those on wells and septic tanks in the west and the south of American Fork who don't really want to change their lifestyles, but want the benefits ben-efits of belonging to the city such as access to the library and the recreation center. Establishment of a Conservation Con-servation Subdivision Projects Pro-jects Ordinance would be aimed at controlling development devel-opment on the south side of the city next to the flood plain area of Utah Lake. One idea for this area would be cluster subdivisions subdivi-sions where there would be small lots or high density housing with lots of open space. "The idea is to use the open space to preserve a particular feature such as wetlands or creek banks," said planning commissioner Ken Baldwin. Despain said the ideal for that part of the city is to have a variety of development develop-ment types instead of just run of the mill subdivisions. No ordinances laying out these new development plans have been presented for discussion or vote at this point, but may be presented in the future.
