That was the word spoken over and over again by the hundreds of people on hand for the Memorial Day rites. Mayor Paice and all the men who had a part in getting ready for the day are to be complimented on an excellent job well done. The members of the American Legion who were on hand to install the flags on the graves of veterans are also to be complimented. All those flags waving in the breeze are indeed a reminder of the reason for the day. This first holiday of the holiday season is toalways a special time when old friends come gether again to renew acquaintances. The beauty of the setting - both the grounds and the flags Our most sincere make a real contribution. compliments to Manager Paice and the City crew. over Zoning in Following the last I Beaver County, promised myself that the next time I sat down to write a column on that issue I have had no trouble keeping that I wouldn't. until pledge reading last week's "RED" in the Milford paper. "RED" appearently feeling that since he knows all he must tell all, devoted the better part of a page to an emotional appeal to his readers to get hold of their County Commissioners and demand the passage of the requested change to Commercial zoning at Pine Creek. By the time you read this,-thhearing will have been held and the Commission will have come to a decission - if you have gotten hold of your Commissioner and made your wishes known ..then you. will have takenpartin the making of the decision - that is as it should be. I hope that your urgings and the decision as made will reflect good, land use planning. Such planning takes into account the effect on established communities and the businesses found therein. Good land use planning also is based on such things as whether or not businesses established at a given point will be able to give their customers competitive service at competitive prices and whether or not the land in question is suitable for such development with regard to availability of potable water , disposal of sewage, etc. Then comes the question of cost-bene- fit ratio. I have to a land hear yet speculator say that the cost of providing the necessary services, fire, police, schools, etc. would outweigh the taxes derived from his pet project. The same can be said in reverse about the established businesses who feel threatened by a proposed new commercial area. These areas call for guidance by professional people who know how to project accurate estimates of tax values as well as costs - not emotional appeals based on personal gain or other questionable go-rou- nd motives. 4 t! 3 i if n l rtVt I is ' : Regional Music Festival June 10th Mike Rich Graduates With Honors from U G.

Sheldon Roberts, speaking against the petition, reminded that the speculator who was most influential in gaining approval for the change in zoning at the South Beaver Interchange made many promises as to what would be done, how many jobs would be created, If his wish was granted. He has since dropped his options and not been heard of since he gained the change. Roberts questioned the value of the tax base which would accrue to the county should the proposed change be allowed. He pointed out that any growth or development at Pine Creek would probably be reflected by a decline presently established tax base in and near Beaver Qty. Clair Lee spoke against the petition and read a letter from the Beaver Lions Club opposed to the petition, also a telegram from Representative Hyrum Lee as opposing the petition. Clair also discussed a letter which he said had been sent by in Mr. Bushnell to different people In Beaver County which urged support for the petition. Mayor Paice asked the Commission to consider Beaver City in their deliberations on their addi- tional cost to schools of Pine Creek development.

Victor Smith. Their were no objections to the change and the Commission took the petition under advisement. The petition of Desert Investors Group asking for commercial zoning of their Pine Creek property was next. Mr. Bushnell, speaking for the petition, urged the change in zone. He said that business will locate in Millard County unless it is allowed to locate on his Pine Creek property. He asked for the right to compete for business saying that those who would locate on his property do not pose a threat to businesses In Beaver zoning request. Dean Brown questioned ' commendation for those tions. . peti- Pershing Erickson pointed out that Phillips 66 and Standard Oil have not joined in this request for rezonlng at Pine Creek at this time. Ken Brown of Standard Oil said his company would like to see their property at the south interchange built up and that they would also like to see the Pine Creek area zoned for development. S.G. Hickman pointed out that when Fillmore is ed and the petitions go forth asking for zone changes, the businessmen of that area will go to those hearings to oppose the petitions. He pointed out that one of the main purposes of zoning is to protect the established tax base. Mr. Bushnell said that Fillmore Is annexing to include the interchanges. He pointed out that a service station and land represents about $180,000, atruckstop and land will cost about one half million dollars. All told his three sites represent an investment of about $1,140,000 which would bring $13,680 in taxes to the county at the present 62 mill levy. Sheldon compared charges of favoritism or protection of busi- nesses to that which a farmer receives from the state on water rights, etc He also pointed out the role that community businessmen play in support of the local schools and comminltypro-ject- s. He feels this role should be taken into account - "there Is more to a community than money."
