Show nrr WEEKLY REFLEX-DAV- 1.1 , NEWS JOURNAL, MARCH 24, 1977 IS Max Holbrook appeared before the Kaysville City Council as spokesman for a group of residents of 600 North Street and Fairfield Estates. They oppose the rwnt opening of the road to a projected shopping mall on north Main Street, north of Davis Farm Coop. HE PRESENTED a petition signed by 62 persons residing on and near the street. They oppose the change because of danger to the 136 children residing in the subdivision; incline and curves which would create hazards; a fear of increased traffic on the street because of the mall; a drop in property value of their homes there due to additional traffic; the width of the street is too narrow to carry additional traffic which would use the road to go to the shopping center. Mr. Holbrook said the group did have alternative proposals of a road circulating around the mall with entrance and exit on Main to 15 miles an hour which discouraged through traffic. Mr. Holbrook said their fear was also that East Layton people would use the road to go to the shopping mall. Street real estate salesman had assured people buying the lots on 600 North, which were more expensive than the interior lots, that the stubbed street only indicated future development of homes to the west, but did not indicate it might lead to commercial property, or that the street might go through to SR 106, he said. Mayor Glen W. Cundall pointed out to the group, that the road had been stubbed to go through to Main Street in the future. It was on the master plan of the city to allow for traffic circulation into the undeveloped property west of the subdivision.

A close are OFFICIALS taking a firm stand on the $1.2 million bond issue while opponent groups are circulating CITY materials against the proposed development. if The $1.2 million, approved by the voters Tuesday, will be matched by funds from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation - providing a $2.4 million parks and recreation package, according to Councilman Neldon Hamblin, in charge of parks and recreation. VOTERS in Election Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will vote in the North Branch, Davis County Library, 562 S. 1000 East, wh.le voters in Districts 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 will cast their ballots in city hall, 140 E. Center. Hamblin said the biggest opposition appears to come from resident.; objecting to the three-milevy increase in property taxes. ll IT AMOUNTS to only $18 a year for a family with a home valued at $30,000, he said. Very few taxpayers would be paying more than $30 or $35 a year in additional taxes, even if they owned a much more expensive home. He added that others are opposed to the golf course being included in the total park and recreation package. BUT ITS the golf course that will in a few years begin paying for itself. In fact, the golf course could soon provide enough revenue for the city that it may be possible to reduce the mill levy being imposed now, he said. Ross Kearl, city recreation director, said that if the bond issue is passed, the city would buy 163.5 acres of land it has under option and devleop the land into a neighborhood park and an golf course. resolve unhealthy sewer and water problems that exist in the city? Will residents of neighboring communities (West Point, Clinton and Syracuse) share in the cost of recreational facilities? vote for a tax increase that By ROSELYN KIRK The National Alert Warning System tested last week in Davis County went out rapidly but proved disappointing in reaching the public, John Zippro, Davis County director of Emergency Services said. THE emergency signal came from an area Civil Defense Center near Colorado Springs, Colo. The signal was transmitted to Davis County from the Ogden Highway Patrol Office. The signal wa3 received by emergency services in Davis County and sent out through the communications system. Every siren available from all fire departments in the county were ordered to sound and all patrol cars were instructed to pull off the road for 60 seconds and release their sirens. All complied, but a survey of 33 elementary schools contacted in the county, showed that only seven heard the sirens. 15,000. Kearl noted that the Federal Bureau of Outdoor Recreation recommends approximately 210 acres of developed park and recrea- tion for a community the size of Clearfield. WITH THE proposed development, we could just about meet the BOR recom- mendations, said Kearl. Without bond passage, however, Clearfield would be in a critical stage and a bleak future as far as parks and recreation are concerned." Opponents to the bond issue ask questions such as: THE increase in taxes (for the bond issue) WILL TWENTY percent isnt very good during an emergency alert, Mr. Zippro said. A check of business locations in Fruit Heights, West Point and Bountiful showed that sirens had not been heard in those locations. Were very disappointed in the results. This points out this system is not effective. We must do something desperate to warn the public in case of nuclear attack. MR. ZIPPRO said some failures in transmission resulted from malfunctioning equipment and the wind factor which caused th' sound to go in the wrong dire :;ion.

An alternative warning plan, which would place a unit in each home but this plan has been abandoned due to lack of funds. The plan is not sound because we couldnt force the public to buy such a device, Mr. Zippro said. THE ARMY Corps of Engineers had tested sound patterns on the local level and have provided maps showing where the sirens should be and in what quantity, but the funding is the hangup. He doesnt see any more money being made available in the near future since three agencies are all trying to run the program. The Civil Defense Preparedness Agency has suggested that the three programs be combined to get the money for sirens and plans. $7.50 5V $0 would be best, insurance. Hopefully youll never have to use it. He said adequate funding would cost 19 cents per capita per year. Davis County receives $11,000 in matching funds each year to set up the program. Emergency Services in Davis County are also mapping out the location of fallout shelters in the county. One map will be available in the Emergency Office and one in the State Emergency Office, which will be released to the news media in case of emergency attack, he said.
