Show Pleasant Grove Review. New L'uh For time- Bring on the food at the Heritage Festival ) 'Editor's note: 'Has i. the fourth of a fue xirt column series on the Heritage Fe.-tu. cil This year's Pleasant Grove Heritage Festival 2002 is starting a new tradition, tra-dition, "A Taste of Pleasant Grove. Lindon. Here is how it works: Several re.-taurants located in Pleasant drove and Lin-don Lin-don gather in one location and prepare samples of their hest-loved menu items. Festival goers pay a $1 entrance fee which allows them to enter and sample food from any or all of these great establishments. Kveryone entering becomes aware: of the great restaurant restau-rant offerings available to Lights Privacy is another issue the residents have with the buildings. Before building began, residents were shown the plans, and they included only one-story buildings. However, a two-story building has recently been erected, compromising the privacy of the homes behind them. "You can see into our bedroom bed-room windows," said neighbor neigh-bor Paul Anderson. Offices in the first floor of the building are already open for business, but workers work-ers are still finishing the second floor and those workers are causing the problems. "I leaned out the door in my nightgown to thrown something in the garbage, and I looked over, and there's a worker staring right at me," said Watkins, whose house lies directly behind the building. Neither Nei-ther Watkins nor Anderson has been able to open their bedroom blinds since the building began. Residents are not sure what happened between them seeing the plans and the actual building being built. They were under the impression that the buildings had to be one-story, but perhaps per-haps it was amended later. "I question the approval process at all if something is allowed to go through that wasn't supposed to be," said Anderson. However, the city hasn't found anything in the report of action on the planning plan-ning commission that states that there can't be two-story two-story buildings. The report does state that the east side of the property must have a "view obscuring fence," said Klemetson. Residents also question the property lines and landscaping land-scaping of the complex. It is currently landscaped right up to the neighbors' fences, with parking right behind.

Neighboring cities have had similar events and they have been so successful that people wait in line to participate. partic-ipate. It works so well that restaurants are on a waiting wait-ing list to participate. In conjunction with the Pleasant Grove Heritage Festival, this event will be held in the Pleasant Grove Fire Station. The sampling portion of this event is available from 11:30 am to From Front Page "They haven't even had to build their own fence," said Watkins. "They're just using ours." But Harris was under the impression that there was supposed to be some easement behind the fence, and even a possible walking trail, but she hasn't seen these "promises come to fruition." Again, the city has been unable to Find any documentation docu-mentation of plans for trails. "Maybe we were misinformed, misin-formed, or maybe the plans were vague," she said. Watkins' husband, Gary, is concerned about what the complex is doing to the value of their home. With all of these problems added together, who is going to want to buy a home with large buildings behind it, he asked. Residents had initially favored a medical complex over other houses or condominiums. condo-miniums. "We thought we'd rather see offices over houses, because they would only be there during the day," said Harris. "But now we're not sure." Klemetson and the city have been very helpful with their complaints, Anderson said. But it is unclear what the solution is. The shields can be put on the lights, but a two-story building can't just be torn down, they said. "The Final straw was the lights," said Watkins. "If they can fix the lights and find a way to protect our privacy, it would be fine." f 5lotted Angles"" Great for Shelving, Racks or Bracing 1-1 2 x 1-12 x 8' r7 u 0 0 o 0 SAVE ono "ZINC" pkited.

He has two different rear-tine tillers, one which is wider to cover the ground more quickly, which he uses to prepare the garden in the spring, as well as to till the ground up when the season is over; and a smaller tiller to go between the rows during dur-ing the growing season. A walk through his garden gar-den will reveal hardly any weeds. Even though he uses a tiller for weed control, Lloyd claims that there's no substitute for a hoe. He does his hoeing early in the morning when the air is cool and the neighborhood is just waking up. He loves to share his knowledge and his garden with anyone who cares to ask. One such tip is regarding regard-ing how to store cabbages. After the cabbage is picked, he digs a hole in the dirt, and places the cabbage in the hole head first, then covers the cabbage until just the root is showing. This stores the cabbage in a cool environment where it can be left until he's ready to use it. Lloyd also has many other tips and tricks which he is willing will-ing to share.

Part of the joy of growing a garden for him, is giving it all away when it's ready for harvest. One day a neighbor came over and asked if she could get some beets, and offered to pay for them. Lloyd told her with a twinkle in his eye, "If you pay for the beets, you won't get any." He invites friends and neighbors to come and pick their own, and Lloyd has been known to fill bags with his own selections, and deliver them right to someone's some-one's lucky door. "I don't believe there is anyone around this neighborhood neigh-borhood who hasn't received help from Lloyd," said June Monson, a close neighbor. "I just love to garden," Lloyd commented.

With new development above, the road has become significantly busier, and is unsafe. Dips in the road at the top of the hill cause cars to disappear from sight for as long as 10 to 15 seconds, they said. So it is not only unsafe to pedestrians, but to other drivers. "Pulling out of my driveway, drive-way, I can't stop and look for cars," said Laurel Thome. "I have to listen, because you can't see them." Residents are in favor of lowering the road by two feet, which would eliminate the dips and solve the safety safe-ty issues. But lowering the road would come as a huge cost to the city. The main and secondary water systems would have to be lowered, and possibly other utilities.
