The property is located on the east side of 2500 N. across the street from the Oak Forest subdivision. One property owner from the area, Larry Gale, questioned the size of the proposed lots and wondered what type of home could be built on a lot with 85 ft. frontage. The protective convenants require a minimum of 1400 square feet and he doubted that there would be enough room. ANOTHER, Jeriy Crosby, was concerned about the quality of the homes that would be allowed. He wanted to know what he could do to protect the interests of his investment in the home he is building. He was advised that violation of the protective covenants could be handled through the courts. Neil Adams, representing the Kays Creek Irrigation Co. questioned the responsibility of the developers regarding fencing around the reservoir. With increased development, the problem of people in and around the water would also be increased. He mentioned that he has previously con- tacted the police and that although cooperative, they could not do much because it is private property. COUNCILMAN Bob Austad said that the reservoir area is known as a place for sexual deviates and the police should be contacted and their aid enlisted to prevent the continual trespassing.

THE Salt Lake City, Utah postal facility, said Mr. Stod- dard, will handle mail processing function for several area post offices around the clock, when the smaller post offices are closed for the day. The Area Mail Processing Program is a plan whereby outgoing mail orginating at this post office will be consolidated for processing at the Salt Lake City Facility for shipment to destination. ALL MAIL deposited in street letter boxes designated for the deposit of mail for local delivery only and all mail deposited in a receptacle at the local post office which is designated for the deposit of mail for local postmark only, will be cancelled with the postmark of the local post office. The mail for local delivery will be processed in the local office. The outgoing mail with local postmark will be dispatched to the Salt Lake City, Utah for sorting and dispatch to destination. ALL MAIL deposited into Clearfield area street letter boxes, which have not been designated for local delivery, letor into the ter drops at the participating post offices will be trans ferred to the Salt Lake City area mail processing center for sorting and dispatch. Local postmarks for post offices in the program will not change, nor will any other service in the local post office change because of the area mail processing plan. AREA MAIL processing will be applicable primarily to that mail which is destined for delivery outside of the city of origin, in this case Clear- field, Clinton, Sunset, West Point, and Freeport Center. Mr. Stoddard suggests that customers should know longer use the word city on mail addressed for local delivery, but they should spell out the name of the city. emphasized that with of high degree mechanization at the Salt Lake City facility, the use of ZIP code on all mail becomes extremely important.
