Volume 96, No 31 Wednesday, August 5, 1998 Ccanbdon PSd3 cdcpls amended county zoning ordinance ssfflmg (mtgs By Times-Ne- s Correspondent Juab County Commissioners adopted an amended county zoning ordinance of 172 pages on Monday as part of the regularly scheduled commission meeting. Commissioners do have the right to still make changes to the amendments of the zoning ordinance in the next few weeks and will probably do so because of some comments they received at the public hearing they held last week. Nevertheless because of the need for speedy adoption, the commission agreed to adopt an ordinance adopting the amended zoning ordinance. Additional changes must be completed in a reasonable amount of time, said Glenn Greenhalgh, Juab County Zoning director. Some comments came in at the public hearing, said Joseph Bernini, commission chair, that we would like to study and consider. However, there will not be msqor changes to most of the 'zoning ordinance. Bernini said there were approximately 13 people at the hearing where the zoning changes were discussed. That included us (commissioners), he said. Most of the zoning ordinance remains the same. Changes have been made to provide for airport safety, reduction of frontage requirements within the RA-- 1 District, establishing regulations concerning gravel pit operations, and the establishment of GA Districts.

It wasnt that ny for fire fighters, he said, At one time, said Newton, Utah Coun- ty had ten engines on the scene trying to put out the arson fires. In addition, Juab County had all the available man-fon power and local fire departments ing with the fires which the arsonists had set. d "There were 21 fires going all at once, he said. Fires have been set all the way from Mona Reservoir through Goshen Canyon. There were 11 fires in that area. There were another 11 set between Goshen and Eureka, he said. Turkey Fire, which we fought last week, was probably also started by the same arsonists, said Newton. He said the MO was the same in all the fires and that included the Turkey Fire. Conditions in the county are dry, said Newton. The county has already had its blazes. Last share of lightening-cause- d Thursday evening, the lightening started four fires. "August is usually the worst fire month, he said. All we need is a few nuts out there starting fires. Ive been without sleep for four nights and days and I am not thinking kindly about ar--. sonists.

An airplane which can travel 180 mph, fully loaded, was now available to help fight the fires, said Newton. Chemical dropped on the fires was a fast way to get a fire stopped.

Ten contestants will vie for the title of Miss Juab County 1998. They will compete in evening gown, talent, poise and on-sta- ge personality. The reigning Miss Juab County 1997 Jaime Jarrett, and her Attendants, Diana Lynn and Andrea (Ware) Settle, will crown the 1998 Queen and her Attendants. The 1997 Royalty have represented Juab County during the year at the 1997 Utah State Fair and at various parades and celebrations around the state. The new Miss Juab County, and her Attendants, will preside over the 1998 Juab County Fair activities, August 13, 14 and 15. s , remember for Juab High School. Between $5,000 and $10,000 will be set aside by the board for a celebration fund to cover the planned activities. The amount will be set after the board hears a committee report on the variety and type of activities planned. "Earlier in the year we talked about, perhaps, doing different things at different times of the year, said Kirk Wright, superintendent. For example, a dance might be planned around the theme, there might be programs, and there may even be activities at games and other already held events. We should be proud that our high Four Day Westhsr Forecast Wednesday Saturday Imuiwthowu High t 90 s school was the third one in the state to do the job can get to it, he said.

Teresa Menlove, board member, said "They do have the septic tank in, said High BO events. I had thought we might appoint two the committee and people to then let them select their own committee members, said Wright. Board members agreed the plan sounded like the most feasible and suggested Wright contact people about serving in that capacity. The high school booster club seems to be slow in getting the football field project done and the school board would like to see things completed before co-ch- co-ch- school begins. , The dub raised funds to build a snack shack where they could serve and prepare food to be sold during football games and at other activities held at the football field at Juab High. "The money the booster club raised goes through the high schools account, said Kirk Wright, superintendent. The money for the project is still in the account. Officers of the club may be waiting until the people who were supposed to board member. She said when she visited the site she noticed protruding rebar which she thought would be a liability for the school district if anyone were to get hurt. The construction area would probably attract children, agreed board members. "It is just not a safe situation, said Smalley. Board members also asked Wright to see if the officers of the booster club wanted the district to take over completion of the project and pay for it by using the money the club had raised. Another problem at the football field is the lack of bleachers for patrons of the district to sit on to watch games this season. We have been notified that there aha some product problems," said Kirk Wright, superintendent. He said he had reminded the company that one of the reasons the board decided to go with the contractor they v did was that it was a larger company and agreed the bleachers could be delivered and installed before football season this year. The old bleachers were moved to the baseball field to be used by fans at that site. Im afraid we may have a potential problem in getting the bleachers installed in time for our first games, said Wright. The first game will be on September 1. "I told them we needed the bleachers in by that date, said Wright. "They (representatives of the company) told me the bleachers would be here on August 28. The benches are being elevated and will make it so even those on the front row will be able to see the game over the heads of the football team at the side of the field. "That wasnt the case with the old bleachers," said Wright There will be a capacity of 1,700 seats, which should be adequate for a time. Lzzb Gc-n- ty Ccb |
