TARMINGTON Once brushed off by the State Air Conservation Committee, Davis County officials will ask for a second chance in a public hearing to decide whether a multimillion dollar control unit will be required on a proposed county garbage plant. The Davis County Solid Waste Management Board in a special meeting last week voted to ask for the public hearing after the recommendation was made by Sen. Jack Bangerter, - mi Hum the plant to be built first, operated and then the control technology added later if found neccessary.

CLEARFIELD Davis County Housing Authority to finance 3S2 rental units with a tax exempt industrial revenue bond sale has been tabled by the city council. Although housing authority director Rosemary Davis asked the council to approve the bonding because of the urgency of the project, the council voted to table the item until a Sept. 27 council meeting so the council could receive information on all the projects. The program was presented in May to the Housing Authority by the Foster & MarshallAmerican Express Inc. as an y effort to finance rental housing development with bonds under federal and state law. velopers are interested in .building 352 units in Clearfield and about 100 each in Layton, Kaysville, Bountiful and Centerville under the program. The program would be financed at a rate of 9s percent interest and at least 20 percent of the dwellings must be occupied by families whose incomes are less than 80 percent of the area median income. Steve Bruno of M & G Construction, said Clearfield is a frontrunner in the y units. He need for more said interest rates have been too high for the last three years for any new de' velopment. Projects that have been approved by it the Housing Authority include a three-stor- y dwelling on 1750 S. 250 E Bruno said this project would generate about $35,000 in property taxes to it Clearfield City each year. An project is planned for 700 S. 450 E. that would include a playground for children and storage units nearby for occupants. Developer Blair Jones said his 89 apartments would be 0 units and cost about per unit, I dont look at this, as low-cohousing, he said. f Another project under consideration is the completion of the Pepper Ridge Apartments on 1080 S. 1500 E.

The council questioned what impact the 352 units would have on Clearfield businesses and whether they could han- -. die. the demand. Im not sure Clearfield has to shoulder all the need for the county, said Councilman H. Kay Chandler. Council- man Rulon C. Cummings said the citys business district would have to grow to accommodate the extra people. Do they shop in Layton and sleep in Clearfield?" he asked. In other business, the council tabled a request from Davis County Commissioner Harold J. Tippetts for a show of support for a $12 million Oct. 4 bond election.

Sherm Cornell, owner of the family entertainment center at 10 S. Main, had applied for either a class B or class D license to sell beer on the premises. Clearfield Police Chief Darren Green, in a letter to the council, said Cornells establishment did not meet either the B or D requirements. A class B permit allows the selling of beer on the premises of a place specifically designated for eating such as a restaurant and a class D to a bar type establishment. Green noted the clientele of Crown includes many patrons under 21 and would not meet the D license guidelines. Cornell presented a new plan to the council which would put a large counter area in a vacant room which would meet the class D requirements. He said this would be similar to the Lakeside Lanes which has a private lounge area for the selling of beer. It would still be in the same principle where no one under 21 is allowed in there, Cornell said. I could do something in our building with the same concept. The Crown center is a popular spot in Clearfield as the only billiards hall in the city. Crown Billards includes a snack bar, video games and pool tables. Green voiced concern over the juvenile customers who frequent Crown but said he would have no alternative but to obey the councils wishes if they approved the beer license. Councilmen O. Wayne Thomock, H. Kay Chandler and Thomas C. Waggoner approved the permit on the condition that the lounge area meet city building and zoning codes. Councilmen Rulon C. Cummings and John A Beu-tlvoted to deny the permit.

Palmquist said the board did not want to listen to a long harangue. Theyre not going to lay down and die but neither will we, said opposition group member Hal Hallett who represents Clearfield residents opposed to the project. The question we have is, who does Will Jeffries work for? Shirley Reed said the group is arranging a meeting with Bangerter. County Environmental Health Director Richard Harvey said after the meeting that the county will ask the state committee for definite facts and figures on how they arrived at their decision.
