Christensen doesn't mind mountain men sleeping in city parks, but that's as far as he will take it. The City Council was asked recently by the America's Freedom Festival at Provo committee if the city would mind having the Utah's people who will pioneer days, as well as those playing American Revolutionary War troops, set up shop in a city park during the city's Fourth of July celebrations, which are among the culminating activities of the annual festival. The request meant waiving a city ordinance banning overnight stays in the parks, which were not designed for camping.

Beagley. raised in Hunter, said he and Johnson have a "vested interest in the Lehi center. Because we live in the area, we want to build a center that will enhance Lehi and serve local residents." The high ground water level in the Lehi area will present special problems for the developers. The property will be thoroughly drained and the excess water will be used in landscaping since the development's plans call for several fountains and reflecting pools. Before construction begins, the developer must finalize some zone changes and annexations with the city before permits will be issued. Meanwhile, the developers are calling upon citizens in the area to help them name the shopping center.

Page B2) Snowpack has Lindon packing sandbags By ROB HUGHES Herald Correspondent Residents are LINDON not taking any chances on Mother Nature this spring. While Lindon has avoided spring flooding caused by high runoff in the past, the city is in the process of filling 3.IKX) sandbars. Lindon Over the past 15 years, the main headlines on spring flooding have come from Provo, Salt Lake County and other cities with high rivers. But problems caused by new development, combined with a huge snowpack; may provide Lindon with its first, small taste of spring flooding. Considering just its topography. Lindon shouldn't have to worry about spring runoff . With no major rivers or streams, the city has few areas vulnerable to flooding. The most serious threat of flooding came in the spring of 1987. when the southwest slope of Mount Timpanogos became saturated and a large mud flow swept dow n Dry Canyon. But Lindon was lucky. "The mouth of Dry Canyon is at about 100 South in Lindon." said Ott Dameron. the city administrator, "but it opens to the south, and most of the mud was directed towards Orem." After the 1987 scare. Lindon joined forces with Orem. the U.S. Forest Service, and the Soil Conservation Service to build a debris basin designed to eliminate any further mud flows in Dry Canyon. Though Dry Canyon is no longer a concern. Lindon may still encounter problems with flooding this spring as a result of new development on the east side of tow n. Residential growth has taxed Lindon 's storm drainage system in two ways. First, during construction, vegetation is torn up opening w ide tracts of raw soil that is highly vulnerable to erosion. Runoff from a rain storm or snow melt carries a tremendous amount of dirt down into the city where it collects in natural storm drains, significantly decreasing their flow capacity Secondly, when developments are completed, water runs downhill over asphalt in places where it once soaked into the ground. When this increased runoff hits storm drains already clogged with silt, the results are predictable. This spring will prov ide the toughest test yet for Lindon's storm drainage system. The Natural Resources Conservation Serv ice's latest report lists the Timpanogos Divide snowpack at 86 percent of average. A Storm Water Impact 1 (See FLOODS. Page B2) |
