Wes Lynns land between Eighth be-twe- en i iand Ninth North on First West ' has storage units and is zoned for agriculture. Planning and zoning supervisor ;Glenn Greenhalgh explained to the council that storage buildings were not specifically mentioned in the zoning ordinances, and so the best his committee could recommend was that the city grant "special use permits to White and Lynn to allow them to continue their businesses. .. Special use permits, however, .as the ordinance now stands, can only be granted to schools, churches, hospitals, and certain I' types of multiple dwelling units. Therefore without aa? amend- inent to that ordinance, Whites and Lynns uses do not apply. Also, if the ordinance were changed to take care of these problems, the dty would be, in effect, spot a practice this council zoning has been trying to avoid. : The discussion soon became n more Own complicated as discussed the possibility ( coun-cilme- of putting warehousing under the commercial zoning ordinance, as these properties and those nearby seemed more appropriate for commercial use. However, that idea brought up a whole new set of questions about the building, ownership, and maintenance of roads. Councilman McPherson finally put the argument to rest by mov ing to leave zoning in these areas as they are, leaving it up to the owners to discontinue their zone violating enterprises. The Nephi City Council voted to changed the boundaries of its proposed annexation declaration policy at its Oct. 7 meeting. Because of requests received by Juab County officials for commercial zoning near the freeway exit, and their desire for Nephi City to handle them, the original area considered for city annexation was bounded by the railroad tracks on the west, the freeway on the east, and the freeway exit on the south. There is a large agricultural area between the railroad tracks and Highway 91, however, which many peoplo did not want considered for annexation. Therefore, the western boundary. was changed to 429 feet . west of Highway 91 until it intersects with the freeway at the exit. . If Nephi takes the advice of it will adopt an ordinance making it unlawful Delta City officials, for any camper, trailer, or mobile home to be parked overnight on a city street or parked on private property, and hooked up to a homes utilities. Only parking in an authorized trailer park or camp would be one time rather than in segments. Other points in the draft include: The right of either Nephi City or property owners to initiate an- - nexation.

Painter thinks he has been treated unfairly by the councils previous plan to put off a final decision on the rezoning of his property until the whole area from Main Street to Third East and from Eighth North to the city limits can be studied for zoning changes. His renewed insistence that quick action in his favor be taken were prompted by the councils encouragement of Nephi Enterprises to sell an acre of industrial park property to Reed Bankhead Construction Co. Bankhead intends to construct a warehouse for Continental Baking Company. According to Painter, Continental had approached him to purchase his property, but the city council had thwarted his business plans by the indefinite delay of its at- that many Nephi decision. The dramatize what he considers to be the uselessness of his property, which is currently zoned residential, Painter offered to sell it as a home building lot to anyone in the audience, stating that of course no one would put a home there. The property is enclosed by businesses which Painter deems eyesores. Dust created by the cement plant is also a problem, Painter says. DAV represen- tative will be in Nephi Oct 29 A representative of the Salt Lake City office of the Disabled American Veterans organization will be in Nephi Thursday, Oct. 29. He will be at the Job Service Center from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to assist veterans and their families in filing claims for Veterans Administration benefits, including disability compensation, pensions, job training programs, education benefits, VA hospitalization, medical care, and others. The representative will also help veterans to file petitions for discharge upgrades. Spedal emphasis is placed on Vietnam era veterans, because many of these men and women are not using the benefits they have earned, and time is running out on some important services, a spokesman said.

Also, members of families congregating at Nephi relatives homes for reunions Robbie Ostler farmers in Juab County have an additional month to sign up for federal crop insurance, according to a recent news release received by the Juab County ASCS office. According to Leo O. Osborne, the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation has extended its dosing dates for insurance on these crops from Sept. 30 to Oct. 30. The rapid changes experienced by FCIC as a result of its ex , -- panded crop insurance efforts demand that farmers be given extra time to learn about and consider the benefits of federal crop insurance. Crop insurance is especially important to farmers now in light of the termination of the disaster payments program, said Osborne. A list of crop insurance agents may be obtained by calling the Juab County ASCS office at 623-034- Although many issues will have Jim Painter continued his combat with the Nephi City Council at its Oct. 7 meeting. Painter is trying to get his property at 950 North Second East, between espetially those who have made the Nephi City Park an overnight stopover for years and years. That is why Police Chief William O. Young contends that there will have to be some discretion in the enforcement of such a law; meaning that those not in blatant ordinance violation, like tourists passing through, might be left alone. It also came to the councils ple. He died in 1956.

Survivors are two sons, Carl Vai Anderson of Spokane, Wash, and EksAyn Anderson of Salt Lake City; a daughter, Darlene Anderson of Seattle, Wash.; nine grandchildren; and 18 greatgrandchildren. that local trailer park owners have been after the council to enact an ordinance such as this for years, but have been ignored on the grounds that Nephis friendly city image must be kept up. It now seems to be a matter, though, of how friendly a dty can afford to be when faced with the impact of many workers setting up housekeeping nightly on the city streets. The councilmen are well aware that an ordinance like this will Nephis boundaries as yet. The ' draft does point out, however, that the city would prefer to annex the whole proposed area at often bring trailers and stay for long periods of time. Council members thought that this privilege should not be forbidden either. Mayor Pexton noted that the ordinance could state that it was not its intent to prohibit the citizens of Nephi from using their trailers or from enjoying family reunions. to be solved before the ordinance is adopted, Police Chief Young says that there are already four problem cases in town and an or- dinance is needed to give policemen a means of handling such situations. No action was taken, as Mayor Pexton planned to meet with Delta officials and the councilmen wanted more time to think about the idea. Further discussion will be offered at future meetings. Painter continues fight to have his property rezened allowed. The irony is in As the policy is only a statement designating the areas that will be considered for annexation if and when either the city or property owners deem it advantageous, and is not the annexation proper, there has been no change P.

Anderson Dec. 5, 1916 in the Salt Lake LDS Tem The Nephi City Council is considering a drastically measure to prevent problems with Intermountain Power Project construction Painter said that he understands that government changes take time, but, as he did go through correct channels in early August, and since Planning and Zoning Supervisor Glenn Greenhalgh admitted then that Painters property had been incorresidential on rectly "colored the new city zoning maps, and because no objections to the rezoning were voiced at a Sept. 2 public hearing. Painter thinks that it is time the change is made. Greenhalgh and City Attorney Donald J. Eyre Jr. said that the coloring error may not have been on Painters property after all, but only on those parcels of land surrounding the Painter lot. Painter also exhibited minutes from city council meetings in years past alleging that city government has taken advantage of him before. The minutes, from late 1968, tell of Painters request d to purchase a portion of the Whitbeck Park, where he intended to put old cars. His bid was accepted Oct. 21, 1968. Painter then showed the current council 25 pages of legal documents for which he says he had to pay along with other court costs to force the city to relinquish the deed to that property. On May 10, 1978, Painter nine years said, I got the deed and seven months after I had bought the property and paid for it. Painters point, then, was that I cannot simply wait that long for a decision to be able to use my city-owne- land. it Please turn to page 6 . 50 pounds is the limit for Nephi garbagemen The Nephi City Council, at its Oct. 7 meeting, directed the city attorney to draft an ordinance which would limit the weight of each bundle, or container, of trash to 50 pounds, and which would require a separate clinker container. Right now the weight limit is 75 pounds, and this, they say, is just too much to lift, especially at the end of the day. The men must lift each container above their heads to heave it into the garbage trucks. Since trash collectors dont carry scales with them to weigh the refuse, compliance with the ordinance will be left mostly to Nephis citizens. However if the load is obviously over the limit, the container will not be emptied. In years to call for bids on a new garbage truck. $50,000 has been budgeted from revenue sharing funds for. the new truck purchase. past, collectors sometimes did not pick up fur- nace clinkers because they damaged the truck's trash com- pressor. However, they will be taken now if they are within the weight limit and in a separate can.
