Show Free Press - Wednesday, November 20, Cedar Valley post office to change address By RUSS DALY Whyte hopes the new location will also enhance revenues and projects that citizens in nearby Fairfield and White Subdivision, as well as commuters to the Tooele area, will be more likely to utilize the expanded facility. Whyte will also consider modifying the hours to be open from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., one half hour later than current post office hours. "We're losing a third to a half just because of our location," said Whyte, adding that the post office is "all Cedar Valley's post office." The larger building will not only be able to handle what Whyte hopes to be an increased demand, but will also handle the growth that is likely to come to the area. The new facility will have 350 inside boxes, compared to the 1 10 available now. "We'll have the availability to serve when the community grows," said Whyte. "It's my own feeling that it secures the post office here." The Cedar Valley Post Office offers general delivery of post office City Editor Dan Vhyte may have to fill out one of the US Postal Service's change of address cards soon. That act is repeated often in this growing area, but Whyte's card would be for the Post Office itself, which could be moving within the next 60 days. A tot at the intersection of 100 South and Highway 73 in Cedar Fort has been selected as the site for the new Cedar Valley Post Office; final negotiations on water rights were to have been discussed at the Cedar Fort Town Council meeting last night If the council approves the action, the Postal Service has authorized the construction of a 915 square foot modular building on up to acre of ground; the order calls for a Jan. 10, 1997 occupancy date for the building. "It's a good location," said Whyte.

Sunderland pointed out that young people in the community would likely not be able to afford the larger homes, but area resi"I more than 33 acres at approximately 2400 N. 1200 East. Frandsen's plans could include six acres for a park area. "We would not be in favor of 8,000 square foot lots," said neighbor Don Palmer. "We want neighbors who will stay there. People who build on larger lots generally stay there." Other area citizens expressed concerns about the lack of parks in the area as well as the dangers of 750,000 gallon water tank as recommended by the city engineers, as well as modified their road widths to conform to city specifications. With the exception of Russon, the council approved the resolution that will start the official annexation process for Saratoga Springs.
