North Field may get land use map changes By Karli Poyfair City Editor Several amendments to the General Plan were approved by the Pleasant Grove Planning Commission last week including several rezones in the North Field Neighborhood. The recommendations recom-mendations will be heard and acted upon by the city council at the council meet ing June 12. One of the first items was to include references to the Rl-15 zone, which is a sin gle-family residential zone that requires a minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet, in the General Plan. In relation to that, the commission com-mission had to decide where the Rl-15 zone would be applicable. Originally, it was proposed pro-posed to change the generally gener-ally applicable zones that implement the residential land use designations. The Rl-15 zone would have been place in the low density land use designation, which would have changed around several other zones. However, it was decided to create a new land use designation called the very low density transitional that would be implemented by the Rl-15 zone only. The Rl-15 zone was intended in the first place to be used as a transitional zone. By creating cre-ating the new land use designation, des-ignation, all other zones were left in the same land use designations. The other major General Plan amendment the planning plan-ning commission approved for recommendation to the city council was the much-talked much-talked about Generalized Land Use Map of the Pleasant Grove General Plan. The main area of concern was the North Field area, mainly between 1100 North and 1800 North. It was mentioned by a planning commissioner that 1100 North used to be the boundary bound-ary for the city. Currently the area was See MAP on Page 12 Many traditional activities set for Strawberry Days u By Kaly Secretan "Pleasant ' Grove . i -frames tne World to our I U Treasures," will 'be the -v tnemp frvr Qt-o,.,u r., xji uLiawucnj uxyo, 2001.

An Orem man was also killed when the car he and Galloway were riding in collided col-lided with a Dodge Caravan driving northbound.

Planners continue Gateway Ordinance discussions to June 7 By Karli Poyfair City Editor After discussions that lasted into the wee hours of the morning, members of the Pleasant Grove Planning Commission decided they needed to hold a special meeting June 7 before they would be ready to recommend the Gateway Zoning Ordinance to the city council. The Gateway Ordinance is scheduled to go before the city council June 12. The council gave instructions to the commission that the item could not be continued, as that would be understood under-stood to be a recommendation. recommenda-tion. The council needs to have the Gateway Zoning Ordinance in place before impact fees for the area between State Street and the new 1-15 interchange can be established. The impact fees are crucial to the city because that is one of the main ways the city will be able to raise funds to pay for the 1-15 interchange. inter-change. The Gateway Zone (GW) is a mixed-use zone that is divided into sub-districts each with specific limitations limita-tions and regulations on development within the sub-district. The zone allows a mix of land uses including multiple-family residential. The GW zoning regulations also establish a high standard for landscaping, landscap-ing, parking, building design, signs, and site layout. lay-out. The one item the planning plan-ning commission did recommend recom-mend approval of was an amendment to the General Plan to include a reference to the new Gateway area. The commission also took some public comment and discussed the possibility of high density housing in the Gateway area. Craig Yuzon, neighborhood neighbor-hood chair for the Sam White Neighborhood, which is the neighborhood that will be most affected by the interchange and Gateway Zoning, told the commission that he was concerned about the commercial development devel-opment near the interchange inter-change displacing the downtown area of Pleasant Grove. Planning commission member Darrell Cook told Yuzon that was not the intent. "We purposely made Pleasant Grove Blvd. feed directly into the downtown area." Yuzon was also concerned con-cerned about high density apartments being built in the area. "We were promised prom-ised we would never have high density," he said. Council member Carol Harmer, who was in attendance atten-dance that night, said, "No one can promise that." Brian Snelson, who has developed several high-end apartment complexes in the valley, also spoke to the commission about high density den-sity housing. He said the city would need rooftops in the Gateway district in order to attract commercial and retail businesses. Kevin Hawkins, of Amsource Realty, who is working on the Macey's project, echoed Snelson's remarks and said it wouldn't would-n't be possible to have the See GATEWAY on Page 12 AriO )0 A Family Business Daylight Donut owners rise early to moke fresh donufs each day By Emily Huff The world is not light at 4 a-ro., Zeke Perry still gets up at at time and goes to his flight Donut shop at 500 S. ktate in Pleasant Grove.

Unfortunately an injury prevented pre-vented this. Zeke is the nickname his father gave him when he was young. Lorraine was first introduced intro-duced to him by his given name of Clyde, "I wondered if he was as unusual as his name," said Lorraine with a laugh. He sent her an application for a date and when she responded favorably he felt secure in asking her out. That started an eternal friendship. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple by Spencer W. Kimball. After graduating, he in psychology psy-chology and she in social work, they moved to Florida. They thought they would spend the summer before they left for the Peace Corps. They both got permanent per-manent jobs they liked and decided to stay. Lorraine got a job as supervisor supervi-sor with the Florida parole board.
