The proposed action was brought about by a request from Dr. Barry Sorensen to relocate his dental practice from his current site on North State S treet to 50 E 200 N, Salina, a site formerly used as a dental office by Dr. Albrecht. According to City Attorney Michael Jorgensen, the request to change the zoning for the individual site from its current R-- l to R-- 3 was illegal and couldnt be done. The effort to allow the dental office there in the first place was illegal, and that is why the clause was added to the use permit that if the building were unoccupied for more than one year it would lose its special use permit, he told the crowd. More than 60 individuals were on hand to voice their opinion that they did not want to see the city move ins such a drastic matter, allowing the commercial uses in residential areas, but were all in favor of allowing Dr. Sorenson the right to move his practice into the residential area. Kim Robinson, a member of the city council, told the crowd that the information in the newspaper was misleading and that the council did not intend to allow all the commercial use listed in the C- -l and C-- 2 listings. After Marilyn Anderson read from the public notice published in the Salina Sun May 26, 1993, Robinson stated that if the changes were made, the process would be the same, and that each business would have to apply for a license, and go through the process. It would be taken up with the zoning committee. Before a business would be allowed the city council would have to approve it. You would have to rely on your faith in your elected officials, he said. llrF f'l 1 i R-- PARADE ENTRIES WANTED As the 4th of July draws closer, the Salina Lions invite you to participate in the Salina City Independence Day Parade and help make this patriotic and fun event a success.

After many conversations in my office I believe that this type of amendment would do what I think the crowd here wants to see done, although I do it with some reluctance, said Jorgensen. The amendment would read That sections 16-- 3 and 17-- 3 Salina City Zoning Ordinances titled R-- l Conditional Uses and R-- 2 Conditional Uses, respectively, shall be amended to add the additional conditional use as follows: 16-- 3 (3) Professional offices where only services are offered and in which goods or merchandise are not commercially created, exchanged or sold. 17-- 3 (4) Professional offices where only services are offered and in which goods or merchandise are not commercially created, exchanged or sold. Following the reading of this proposal, Andreason asked for a straw vote from the citizens in attendance. There was an unanimous vote of approval, but then stated that the city would not vote on the proposal until June 21, 1993, at the regular city council meeting. Although this solves the current problem, Jorgensen said at the close of the meeting, he also warned that it created another problem - that to the business district. This will allow any professional who wants to purchase residential property for a professional practice. The process will be repeated, license application, review and whatever, but because you have amended the zoning ordinances this way, you have to be fair and that could kill any professional industry development in the downtown 529-393- 8; T u hrRvnn t u rffei ch4 Near the end of the meeting Jorgensen handed the city council a proposed amendment that would satisfy the request by Dr. Sorensen, to make a change to allow him to move to his new facility, but restrict the use of property located in l and areas to pro- Plans are madefor Salina's upcoming July 4th celebration The 4th of July will soon be here, and a lot of activities are planned for the celebration.

Moroni Feed Companys Salina and Ephraim plants are going along at a steady pace, and according to Joe Nielson, president of Moroni Feed, the production year ending next January should be a profitable one for the company and its growers. The companys 85 growers have seen three years of marginal profit, Nielson noted, and this has caused several producers to drop out Others have survived only because they had adequate reserves to draw upon. The turkey business is very competitive, Nielson said. Our constant effort has been directed at attaining a high level of efficiency in all phases of our operation. The company produces the eggs at breeder farms in Sevier, Sanpete, Juab and Washington counties, and hatches them at the Moroni plant. They then deliver the young poults to the growers and provide them with enough feed to take them to killing time. The Moroni plant then processes the turkeys for as whole carmarket. Some are made market-read- y casses. The rest are shipped to the companys branch plant in Salina, where they are processed into items such as turkey steaks, turkey roasts, turkey hamburger, and the popular smoked turkey products. Between the two plants some 72 million pounds of turkey products are processed each year. Nielson says the rise in demand for turkey products by the public is a big influence in the profitability of the business. The organization has also increased their market dramatically and have found that growing turkeys to commercial size for the restaurant and hotel trade is a sound approach. The plant currently has about 120 employees, while the Moroni operation employs around 800. Recently Governor Mike Leavitt declared June "Turkey Lover's Month. Attending the ceremony were Cary Peterson, Utah's Commissioner of Agriculture; Randy Parker, Utah Department of Agriculture; Tim Black-hachairman of the board of Moroni Feed Company; Joe C. Neilsen, president and chief executive officer of Moroni Feed Co., Steven Jensen, president of Norbest Inc., the world's largest turkey marketing co-o- p. Others included Senator Leonard Blackham, member of Moroni Feed's board of directors; John Hall, vice president, Norbest; Paul Reed, director of marketing for Norbest and David Bailey, vice president, Moroni Feed's Processing Division. In the proclamation the Governor highlighted the benefits of the turkey industry in Utah, including its of Utah's agricultural contribution to the well-bein- g scene and as a major provider of nutritional products for U.S. and international customers. |
