Show SLC tlil5 i Plairmninig Comrumissaomi dhaDmuao By Nancy Lynn Krzton brief clash erupted between planning commission chairman Judy McFarland and Mayor Sam Lower Thursday during the town council meting, as Mrs. McFarland accused the council of not backing the planning commission on controversial decisions. The planning commission feels we need more support from the town council, Mrs. McFarland said, she complained the council had in effect directed the planning commission to include a multiple dwelling area in the city master plan, and then had eliminated it later under pressure at a public hearing, even though some people supported the idea of multiple dwellings. The council voted to have the planning commission devise an ordinance which would allow multiple dwellings to be scattered throughout Plain City on a restricted basis, if such an ordinance could legally be created. Three years ago, wo tried to scatter multiple dwellings through town and people objected, Mrs. McFarland told the council. So we tried to concentrate them into one area. We dont feel like youve done the planning commission justice after we did what was asked. Now were right back where we started from. Were not going to be able to scatter them through town. Councilman Scott Jenkins told her, Personally. I think youre doing a dandy job, but at the meeting, my impression was that most people were against duplexes. Jenkins said he personally supported the idea of allowing duplexes on PLAIN CITY dicating she felt duplexes could not make a profit for the owners. Councilman Lois Charlton said she opposed any dwellings containing more than two units because too many people would then be congested in a small area. A acre lots. Mrs. McFarland said multiple dwellings had to be larger than duplexes, in chastises town cowricil In other words, youre against multiple dwellings, Mrs. McFarland said. Yes, Mrs. Charlton replied. Mrs. McFarland then asked the council what it wanted the planning commission to do. Mr. Lower, visibly annoyed, told Mrs. McFarland that the motion passed by the council concerning the master plan gave the planning commission clear instructions on which way to proceed. he maintained. Youre to look and see if its You have your directions, feasible. If its not, tell us, and give us your reasons and logic. As far as support As far as our vote, I think its in were trying to follow the wishes of the public is toward multiple dwellings. I a This want. the with what step people harmony think it meets the consensus of the property owners. I dont think its fair to say were fighting you or working against you, the mayor added. Planning commission member Bruce Taylor replied, I disagree, accusing the council of directing the commission to accept one quarter acre lots in the ci ty while blaming the commission for that apparently unpopular decision at a lat ;r public hearing. I dont think theres any blame on anyone, Mr. Lower replied, closing tfc le discussion. ... 31 L Bern lomonDcll Volume 5 Number one-quart- er 1 E May Serving North Ogden, Pleasant View and Plain City 3 c 1, 1980 1 Plain City holds annual Parents and children packed the Golden Spike Coliseum Saturday for the annual Plain City School Little Buckaroo Rodeo.

The men are Fire Chief Terrel J. Call, fulltime fireman Tom Lowder,. and volunteer firemen Steve Stuart, Arden Wolverton, Brent Hobbs, and Leonard Call. Two other firemen are already certified EMTs, and others plan to take the course in the near future. Chief Call and Mr. Lowder were simply updating their already existing EMT training to renww their certification. Now we are better able to provide medical care," Chief Call said. The purpose of emergency medical certification training is to provide basic life support in emergency situations. The men taking the EMT course attended Wahlquist Junior High two days a week from 5 to 10 p.m. beginning January 9 to obtain the necessary training. They underwent two evenings of testing before they were certified as EMTs. Another improvement to the fire departments provision of emergency medical care was made with the recent donation of a four-wa- y resuscitator by the Ladies North Ogden Civic League. They contacted us about buying a new resuscitator and let us pick it out, Chief Call said. The equipment cost $410. Thats pretty decent of them, Mr. Lowder said. It makes a real good addition to the department, Chief Call noted. The fire department had one resuscitator before, but this was not sufficient to keep both fire engines equipped. Now we have one on each truck, Chief Call said. The new resuscitor will be useful in emergencies such as electrical shocks, drownings, heart attacks, and smoke inhalation. It provides primary and secondary oxygen supply for those having can start trouble breathing, breathing for someone whose breathing has stopped, and has the ability to clear a persons mouth and throat of any foreign matter.
