His wife, Sharon, their two daughters, ages 4 and 6, and their son, 10, are presently residing in Cedar City. They plan to move to Milford after school is out. sports Mt. Holly Is Granted Permit Beaver County Commission was bound, legally, to grant Mt. Holly's Leisure Sports Corporation a permit to rebuild the condominium unit which burned earlier this year. The original building may be rebuilt within one year from the time it burned using the same plans originally used. Prior to County Commission meeting, last Thursday, at which time the permit was granted, District Fire Chief, Conrad Grimshaw and County Building Inspector, Russell Gale, spoke by telephone with deputy State Fire Marshall Ted Hishaw. Plans for the Mt. Holly condo, to be rebuilt had been sent to him. The telephone conversation was taped, with his permission, and played at the County Commission meeting on April 7. The Deputy Fire Marshall said the plans had not been done by a licensed architect or engineer and did not bear the required seal. He also said they did not have enough detail to tell him the fireflow of the building in question. He could not readily recognize firewalls and those shown did not meet standards for firewalls in a building of that type and size. He said the plans needed a lot of 'cleaning up.' Hard- ware specifications were not included in the plans and type of roof covering was not specified. He said the State Building Code does not permit more than two levels for that type of building and the building which burned was built with three levels. Chief Grimshaw asked Mr. Hishaw for his recommendations. The Deputy Marshall said Mr. and Mrs. Koning would have needed, first, a good set of plans if they had been building within his jurisdiction. Firewalls should extend from the lowest part of the building to three feet above roof level because of the open beam construction of the original condo.

The most which could be used at Mt. Holly at this time is 1 ,400 gal per minute. The deputy said it would be in Mr. Koning's interest to make a true fire flow path appare nt on plans and if he used methods recommended, fire could be confined to small areas if it should start. Sprinkler systems are mandated in areas of West Jordan, Orem, Sandy and Park City where the area is some distance andor fire departments are small. Four men and one engine are considered needed to put out 500 gal per minute. State standards require R3 buildings have sprinkler systems. The condo which burned was an Rl . Tables setting requirements in the Uniform Buildings Code Books from which state regulations are taken consistant have remained since about 1973. The Deputy Marshall said that the plans, as submitted would not have passed the state fire codes. Following the granting of the permit in the County Commission Meeting the Konings and their attorney met with County Attorney John Christiansen and County Building Inspector Russell Gale. They agreed to meet some recommendations which had been made by the County Planning Commission at a special meeting the previous week. Self supporting concrete will be used, true firewalls and fireproofing of wooden decks. The trout stamp, authorized by the Utah Wildlife Board last Feb., will be available at most sporting goods stores in early May. Trout stamps will cost $3.30 for adults and $2.30 for licensed juveniles. Stamps and fishing licenses are also sold at Division of Wildlife Resources offices, most major department and drug stores, and at many local general stores. Beginning May 28, the opening of the general fishing season in Utah, licensed anglers will be required to have a validated trout stamp in their possession when fishing for, possessing or transporting trout. Anglers should review the amendment to the fishing proclamation for clarification of trout stamp requirements and exemptions.
