The boy "recognizes him as his father," Duitant wrote, and sees Pete Thanos as an "additional caregiver." The court ruled that Thanos's biological paternity was irrelevant in this particular custody case. Chief Justice Christine Durham dissented, saying Kelly Pearson's original custody rights aren't absolute under a law enacted in Utah in 2005. "Biological fathers whose rights have not been terminated, legally waived, or cut off by an event such as adoptions, have standing to seek to rebut the presumption of marital paternity by proof of genetic fatherhood," Durham wrote.

Marriage Continued Holt-Lunsta- Holt-Lunst- CRAIG Construction for Northgate Village in Orem on March Northgate Continued from Cl could abut 800 North, but buildings would have to face 1200 West, and any side frontage on 800 North would have to be less than the 260 feet available on 1200 West. Mayor Jerry Washburn said the council would have to weigh the difference between what is presently allowed and what was being proposed. A dealership could go in on the 1 12 acres available on the corner of 800 North and 1200 West in the development, but changing the ordinance would allow a dealership to extend east on 800 North several hune dred feet, forming a five-acr- space. "We do need the five acres," said Blake Murdock, whose family is doing business on a lot in Orem now. Murdock said the company's sales have grown from $5 million annually to $25 million, and they estimate that in the location, sales would double to $50 million or more. "1 have no crystal ball," said Bill Fair- Northgate developer banks, "but there are a lot of uses, in my mind, that could go in there that would have a larger impact on the neighbor- hood." He listed some of the uses that are allowed, including hotels, centers, department stores, grocery stores, wedding reception centers, dance center, auditoriums and exhibit halls, convention centers and health spas. Northgate Village resident Ty Rasmussen said sales tax revenue is "the big carrot , DILGERDaily Herald 12. that's out there," but asked how much the city would get and how vulnerable the economy is to recession. "Should we not be trying to diversify our sales tax base?" he said. Dareth Goulding, a resident of the development's Tuscan Village, expressed concern that adding a car dealership would negatively affect property values. Brad Whitaker, executive director of the Commission for Economic Development in Orem, said the city does have diversity in its economy and a great tax base that helps residents pay less for city services. "I know it's a tough decision, because it is different than what was originally proposed there," Whitaker said. "The bottom line is, we think there could be a winwin if this is done right." After more discussion about possible mitigation measures such as adding extensive landscaping and implementing restrictions on lighting and sound systems, which would protect Northgate's residential developments from possible impacts from a car dealership, the issue went to a vote. Joining McCandless in voting against a motion to amend the ordinance to allow the car dealership were Washburn and council members Shiree Thurston, Margaret Black and Mark Seastrand. Council members Dean Dickerson and Carl Hernandez voted in favor of the change.
