This we know it will be removed within the week, because CV will be held liable for any accident the divider causes (perhaps involving some wayward tourist looking for a burger stand).

The rest grant purchases a scenic easement for the Mayberry land along the River will be continued in the spring with the B and C allotments. This is the best month to observe Saturn. Look for it among the stars of Road. TNC also is to provide a much smaller matching grant. Another part of the arrangement allows TNC to resell a small portion of CV may be able to cash in on Utah property.

Outdoor Burning: There was a Mayberry parcel, the Nature Conser- heated discussion as tempers flared vancy can keep using its capital regarding ongoing unsafe outdoor burning. It was decided that our fire chief, Floyd Stoughten, would be given (contributions from members) to protect other land. Common sense land use restrictions rarely make it necessary to totally preclude human development of land. For instance, in the case of the Mayberry orchard property, a single \ residence on the property, with siting and building style restrictions, would have relatively little impact on the river corridor in comparison to the impact from a 200 unit RV park. All of this takes place with the full cooperation of the property owner. He gets the money he desires from the sale, and the land is substantially protected from other undesirable uses which might have followed from sale on the open market. There will be no tourist facility at the junction of the River Road, redirecting visitors up into the temporary power to ascertain whether one’s fire was putting the Town at risk, and then use whatever restraints necessary, based on his findings. If you have to burn something, call Floyd fust before you light up—259-6049. Hospital Appointment: Jayne Dillon Smythe was appointed CV Representative to the Hospital Board.
