Show Ut. Sb. Press Assn. P.O. Box 1327 Lake City, Utah At Public Hearing mm ut wtm roposed Subdivision n Lehi Brans Northern Gateway to Beautiful Utah Valley Lehi ro and Con Views Thursday. August 24. 1978 Deadlines Set The atmosphere was cordial, but the discussion heated in the public meeting to discuss the proposed Lehi Meadows subdivision west of the city. The meeting was called by Julian Mercer of Lehi to discuss the project and the impact it might have on the city. A large number of persons attended, including members of the city council, the county planner, the developers and residents who live near the proposed ' subdivision. The first to speak was George Bower ' of Lehi. Bower, a former member of the Alpine district school board, said that with the increased population of the district and the county in general, the city of Lehi is in danger of losing its representative seat on the school board if the population of the city does not keep pace. Mr. Mercer said that his main concern and the reason for calling the meeting was that the quality of life is going to be affected by the increased growth and he felt a need to exercise some sort of control on that growth. He listed statistics that stated some 1800 homes have been planned or are in the planning stages for Lehi. Some of those statistics were later refuted by Don Pinkham of the city. Mercer said he felt cheated in the process of government because there was no advertisement on the Lehi Meadows subdivision or many of the other proposed projects. City council member, Lester Holcomb, said that the council was not even considering annexation yet and had only expressed an interest in seeing more of the development.

He said that the farmers were not to blame, because as farm prices drop the most profitable thing to do is to subdivide, but there was a danger. Some local builders pointed out that the Lehi Meadows project is going to be built on swamp land and is not much good.for farming. Paul Tanner, a builder from Salem,' represented the developers side of the issue. Tanner said that it was their plan to improve the quality of life in Lehi, and if they were unable to do that then they would go home. He said there was good control in the timing of the project and that the annexation could be done with considerable profit to the city. The new Trinnaman Lane sewer project that goes into construction this fall is opening up a great deal of land to annexation, but the line is now planned to be used to capacity. Tanner said that his group is offering to increase the size of the line at the point his project enters it at no cost to the city.

Tanner said they will provide careful building covenants to anyone building to preserve the integrity of the development. He went on to explain the water situation and the unnecessary fear that more police officers would be needed. Current projections show that the extra officer needed In the next five years will be needed by the city anyway. Tanner pointed out that while there also would be no need for increased fire protection, insurance for the city will rise causing some expenditure. Tanner gave figures to show that increased cost for streets will be offset by increased tax revenue. Many citizens were concerned that the builders might say one thing and then do another, but Tanner said his group would give whatever assurances necessary including posting a bond. County planner, Jeff Mendenhall, pointed out some problems with developing and subdividing that the county has run into. He said that although he did not know the reason, there must have been one to stop development west of the city at one time. He referred to statements that the planning and zoning commission had once received instruction from the city council not to consider developments west of town. Mendenhall said that his experience shows that there has always been and conflicts between agricultural residential areas but that does not mean that such leapfrog development such as this will stop. He said that if projections show that the development will break even on the cost to the city of services is true, then that is good because most end up in the red.
