CityCoordinatorEnochSwain j Nick Swain reminded council members Tuesday evening that page one of the Milford General Plan contains some strong language in relation to city zoning. Although he does not object to the plan, he suggested that residents, especially those immediately affected by zoning changes, should be fully informed. One such revision would change zoning one block off Main Street and one lot off Center Street from residential to Main Street Commercial. This would allow shops and home businesses in that designated section, and possibly put some restrictions KJ Wivrnc on homes used for residential purposes only. ' Public j Hearing for adoption of the General Plan is scheduled for October 3, at 6:00 P.M. (See! page 5) The document is available in the city office for inspection. Page one items include: (2) Pursuant to Utah Code all building and land uses shall be in compliance with the General Plan. No building permit or other land use permit shall be issued except iji compliance with the General Plan. (3) All ordinances adopted subsequent to this General Plan shall comply with the goals and policies as set forth herein. (4) This ordinance shall take effect immediately on passage. Councilman Larry Sower said this hard-lin- e approach was voted on by the citizens committee for the advisory responsible drawing up agreement. Residents have been advised of and the public meetings, have shown very little interest. "The reality is that we have to get something done," he said. , Left to right: Mitzi Wadsworth, Second Attendant; Rachel Hardy, Homecoming Queen; Kaylee Dalton, First Attendant.

Alison Carter, a Milford High senior, shot her elk early Saturday morning at Indian Peak. It took four hits to bring him down, and she was proud of every shot. As luck (or design), would have it, her father, John Carter, was on hand to prep and load the animal. He estimated the weight at about 800 pounds. Alison has been an avid deer hunter for three years, but says that doesn't compare with the thrill of getting the "big" one. Missy Rose brought home an elk of similar size last year. "Where is the money going to come from?" Commissioner Gary asked the obvious question in a Tuesday morning planning meeting where a future correctional facility for Beaver County was the topic of conversation. The current county jail must soon be upgraded and expanded or closed. At any given time the facility houses 6 to 7 male prisoners. Female prisoners are sent to Millard County for incarceration. to State According projections, population increase could double, or even triple, the number of prisoners within five years. Options open to county planners include: 1.' Closing down the , facility entirely and transporting prisoners to otbif locations. The County would then be required to pay t per diem costs plus It is unclear transportation. whether or not a study has been conducted to determine the cost of this course of action. Sheriff Yardley contends that the most troublesome time with any Sullivan W "in- - j t "V. ; ff J'V U - prisoner is in transportation, creating a probable need for additional personnel. 2. Updating the present jail to meet required standards. Cost estimates range from $ 1 .5 to $2M for upgrade and adding a few beds. The jail is landlocked, making extensive expansion, if it is needed at some future date, impossible. 3. Building a new jail to serve Beaver County only. This could be done with or without a court facility. Planners would choose a location that would allow for later expansion. Figures discussed for this option range between $3M and $4M for a 30-b- ed jail. 4. Constructing a complete new public safety center with a justice court and state court, office for County Attorney and one additional attorney, and housing for state prisoners in addition to county prisoners. Rough cost estimate here is $7.5 to $8M. This is the option commissioners discussed in the recent planning meeting. Tim Jones,' Jones and Ken DeMille Engineering, Shulsen, Justice Consultant, and Paul Piatt, State Correctional Administration Office, updated the commissioners on funding sources available, and probable for timetables application. income Current projections indicate enough revenue from housing of state prisoners to pay total cost of jail operation plus a portion of the building bond retirement. The funds currently appropriated for county jail operations would also be freed up to apply to the debt. Prall and Shulsen both emphasized that there is no guarantee that the state will use the facility. The group of planners will meet again October 17, by which time commissioners hope to have a final site selected. A Building Authority for the project will be on the commission agenda for their regular meeting October Public meetings are a 2nd. part of the application process, but are not likely to be scheduled before December or January. General Obligation Bonds, which require referendum vote, may be needed for a portion of the funding. |
