Show The Tlmes-lndependen- Thursday, Sept. 5, t, City limits buiding height to 3 stories or forty feet By Ken Davey From now on, no buildings in Moab may be built higher than 3 stories, or 40 feet. That was the decision of the Moab City Council Tuesday evening, as they approved a height limitation ordinance by a unanimous vote. The ordinance does, however, contain some exceptions that will allow the total height of a structure to be above that limit Antennas, chimneys, flues, vents, or similar objects may extend an additional 10 feet, and under some circumstances pitched roofs can also exceed the limit In addition, church spires, bell towers, and similar architectural features may also extend up higher, but those spaces may not contain any habitable space above the 40 foot ning commission member Lucy the limit was a Wallingford, between commission compromise members favoring much higher and 40-fo- ot much lower limits.

About half of the participants actually camped overnight, while the rest took day trips. One of the planned overnight trips in the Dolores Triangle was cancelled because of storm damage to the trail. Of the remaining three, the very difficult Golden Spike trail was the most popular, with about 48 vehicles. Drivers of the few vehicles that suffered drive-trai- n breakage will attest to the difficulty of the trail. The Dome Plateau trail had 16 vehicles and the Lockhart Basin trail had 9. The four additional day trips each had 20 to 30 vehicles. These numbers may not have matched the Eastertime throngs, but the present 1992 Community Block Grant funding.
