From page 2 The drainage plan for Sun Ridge Ranches, in south-eas- t Nephi, is not working and required a change in policy to correct. The current policy does not require the construction of curb and gutter in front of homes constructed in large-lo- t subdivisions, as defined in the subdivision ordinance, said Chad Brough, mayor. In the future, however, the large-lo- t subdivision will install a 24-inc- h h curb along the asphalt street edge in front of lots. As homes have been constructed in Sun Ridge Ranches subdivision, several problems with the current Increase the increase in fees. That would mean, for example, more per $6 collection. If the price of fuel once again goes down, then the fee will also return to the previously agreed to price. Fuel costs have gone up 30 to a gallon the last few months, he said. My truck gets five miles to the gallon. Mecham said his collection price was based on the price for fuel being at $1.50 per gallon. 60-cen- ts 40-cen- have had the same collection rate for the past 10 I years, he said. Council member Quinton Kay, who also has a trucking business, said he had been forced to raise his prices for customers by the high fuel costs. I've raised my prices 12 percent, said Kay. Harry Newell, council member, said it also seemed to him that Mecham was asking a fair price for collection considering the fuel costs. approach have become apparent, said Brough. The amendment to the subdivision large lot ordinance was approved by vote of the city council as defined in the subdivision ordinance. The motion did stipulate, however, that city staff be allowed The subdivision was designed with drainage in front of homes in a ditch, said Brough. Nobody wants to walk through mud to get to their home, so the properties were all developed to the road. in-pu- t. . . Drainage channels that were established in the bar pits have been disturbed by construction activities, and home owner's desires to build their driveways and sidewalks out to the asphalt, thus cutting off the drainage channels. for There was then no place the drainage to go. The city had, originally, thought it was a good idea to have a subdivision where large-lo- t curb and gutter was not required. The reality did not fit the dream.

Mario George, and Troy and Sandy Cattoor told council members the building has been transformed and now offers equipment for all types of physical fitness, except for a swimming pool. George is an instructor at Snow College and is also a personal trainer. She offers her services at the Triangle Anchor Fitness Center located long Nephi's Main Street on the south end of the community. I not only teach at I certify and train other trainers," said George. She said she has a masters degree and aLo has 20 years background in the physical fitness industry. George travels around the world teaching classes to trainers. George said she walked through the business operated by the Cattoors and was impressed with it. She then began offering her services at the recreation center. People come to the fitness center who are afraid. "They think, am going to get hurt and I have to pay to get hurt," she said. However, that is not By - to bond for the development of the subdivision, said Bruught. The developer has been made aw are that the change needs to occur before construction of future homes.

The center also takes a stance in sponsoring walks for heart disease pro-activ- e and other sorts of community service events. In the future, said T. Cattoor, he would like to include a swimming pool in the center. He said there is ample room for one and the main reason he has not built one there financial. The fitness center does need the support of the community in order to be successful, said George. I've compared their prices and their prices are low, she said.

We dont have the funds to expand like we had hoped. T. Cattoor said the couple had ideas of putting in a pool but decided not to put one in until they could get the facility going. He had talked to 50 gyms around the states before making the decision to wait by the pool installation. This is not what I do for a living, he said. But I thought the community on needed something like this. If the city was willing to do a pool inside his building, he said, he would be willing to lease the facility or even to sell it. This building would work for a city recreation center." he said. The gym is working now. There are programs going at the gym. said T. Cattoor. One of those is a gymnastics program. "It is a beautiful facility," said George, "and I have been in a lot of gyms. Road height causes concern with homeowners in subdivision By Myrna Times-New- Trauntvein Corresponden s t A neighborhood meeting was held to discuss a concern those who live along a road being improved by developer, Lynn Bonner, as access to a subdivision, that the road was being built up too high. "The concern is the road in front of our houses," said Mike Tasker. The road is being raised three and a half feet in front of our homes. He said the road made such a slope that it was making the existing lots much below the surface of the roads crest. The access into the homes was then made more difficult. Landscaping was also a concern but, worst of all, he said, was the potential for flooding of his house as water ran from the road down the slope to the homes. These homes were there first and, in all due respect to the engineers, we don't know how to control Mother Nature, said Bob Ballow. "I demand respect on my side of the street too. Tasker said he had been working at a subdivision being constructed in Provo near Seven Peaks and the rain runoff there was creating flooding problems for the developers and the nearby properties. I would like some guar- antee that it will not flood my house, said Tasker. Ive talked to a lawyer and I thought the city may stand behind me.

The barrow pits to the south were deepened and a plan was devised. He also said that strings could be placed on stakes and used to measure the slope to homes. The strings would be run from the old driveways to the top of the result in the road build up being reduced to and would save quite a bit as far as making the houses more in line with the new road. "That would be above the existing road." said Kay. Tasker said he was wondering how much tbe coot would be to and to build up his driveway and who should be responsible for that expense. road. Bonner expressed frustration but I am frustrated too, said Ballow. Strings are not rocket science.

He said that was not a citys problem but a "The project engineer said the runoff would not be a problem." said Lynn Bonner, developer. "The problem on 700 South is in the minutes," said Kay.
