STAFF City leaders of Saratoga Springs want a freeway at 2100 North and aren't afraid to ruffle a few Lehi feathers. The City Council unanimously passed a resolution in March announcing the city's official position on the Mountain View Corridor alterna- - . tives in north Utah County. The road is planned to connect Interstate 80 in Salt Lake County with Interstate 15 in Utah County. "I think the freeway connection is vital," Mayor Tim Parker said. "From the traffic flow point of view, it is the best of the two alternatives I think." Lehi city leaders have come out in support of that city's master transportation plan, which doesn't allow for additional freeways in the city.

According to new state and federal estimates, Wasatch County is growing at a pace equivalent to Washington the state's fastest County growing area. Up until this point while everyone could agree there is a value in the county's sprawling pastures below the peaks of Mount Timpanogos, they weren't ready to use tax dollars to buy the area's rapidly disappearing open spaces. After about 18 months of study, the County Council's committee has creopen-spac- e ated a preliminary proposal that would include zoning tools and conservation fees aimed at preserving open space.

The plan would institute conservation impact fees on new development so that Wasatch County and its municipalities someday could buy open space. "It's based on a system," said County Councilman Steve Farrell, who heads the committee. "But we're moving slow because we want free-mark- et something that works." Meanwhile, residents like Amy Zimmerman are alarmed by the continued speed of development. Zimmerman is particularly concerned about a proposed 7 housing project planned for pastures next to Heber City known as the North Fields. "With this building boom, we're concerned about what's going to be left," Zimmerman said. "We'd like community vileaders to take a long-tersion of what this community is going to be." There are a number of tools for saving open space, said Wendy Fisher, executive director of the nonprofit Utah Open Lands. Besides charging developers impact fees, planners can apply zoning, development agreements and conservation easements. "But what we have found is that if you want to save large tracts of open space, you have to buy it," she said. "A bond opens up possibilities in a way other mechanism no can." Once approved by voters, bond money can be enhanced by federal and state matching programs, Fisher said. But the new plan does not contemplate asking residents e to bond for funding, said Annie McMullen, an open-spac- committee mem- e open-spac- ber. Committee members fear that taxpayers might find that hard to swallow after approving a $60 million bond last fall for a high school. Up to this point, Wasatch County residents have hung their hopes for open-spacpreservation on Heber City officials continuing to deny annexation requests that would allow zone changes for housing, said Mayor Dave Phillips. "Everyone loves open space and hopes the farmers will leave it that way," said Mayor Dave Phillips. "But nobody wants to cut a check for it." e high-densi- ty T Help promote literacy In our schools!
