Such action was taken following a series of meetings in which careful consideration had been given to the pros and cons of permitting mechanized racing. - We believe that much of the- opposition arose from the assumption that mechanized racing at the resort would result in noise and general operations similar to thosetq be found at theState Grounds In Salt Lake City, and the mistakenjdea that mechanized racing activities would be 'associated with the undesirable elements which our city experienced in the horse racing era!

It was and is our belief that iir the conduct of .the affairs of any city of major importance is the welfare of the community as a whole, and that pos sible disadvantages to a small proportion of our residents arising from mechanized racing must be balanced against the additional tax revenues, addi- - . tional employment within our city for local residents and their children, the creation of an added desirable recreational facility, and the general repu- tation and welfare of the city. Our thinking was also influenced by the high degree, of cooperation and consideration for the community which has been .shown in the past by Lagoon Resort in the conduct of its operations, which gave assurance that racing activities would-b- e property -- and reasonably con ducted. ' had indicated that by proper engineering, construction and operation, the activi- ties associated with mechanized racing need not be unreasonable or. burdensome. Because of the fact that studies to this point have , been of a preliminary nature, and because of our -feeling - that - there weresome objections I which should at councilmen have discussed this matter further with Lagoon and obtained from them a further firm assurance that there would be no Sunday racing and that limitations would be ohserved on hour? of operation. We also obtained from Lagoon its firm assurance that installation of the track would only after acoustical engineering and con- studies had established That the track could be operated without undue noise or dis -turbance. At the time 'of the council vote on rezoning, it wasunderstoodThat further VeVtingsimd discust sions would be held with Lagoon to consider further the citizens objections to racing. At the same time it was our desire to give further study to the matter in view of all of the developments which had . occurred at the meeting. As a result of the meetings with Lagoon officers in which these assurances were given by them, they considered again the substantial cost which would be involved in preparation of final engineer-- " ing plans designed to keep any noise and disturbance to an absolute minimum. They also again cofisidered the feelings of .anumber of residents who oppose mechanical racing, in connection with Lagoons desire to conduct .the resort operations in harmony with the residents of Farmington as a whole. . . After fyrther-- consideration, and at our suggest Tion, Lagoon has pow withdrawn its request that" the .zoning ordinance authorize mechanical racing." Accordingly, we believe the council should now adopt an ordinance deleting any reference to mechanized racing. We believe that the discussions of the problem Proved helpful to all concemed.
