ICaySo I KAYSVILLE - Police Chief Lyle Larkins met with the city council to seek some guidelines on street closure for neighborhood par-- ties. JOHN THACKER, city administrator, informed the council the guildelines were already set up. For them to use the classifications policy for the police department that is already in force. The chief of police is authorized to close local streets for Block Parties upon request from the residents along the street, except for access to property and emergency services. ONE OF the big issues that the council discussed at length was the changing of cemetery- fees. There had previously been a work session on the issue. A study has been made of cemetery fees of other cities in the county. Kaysvil-Ie- s fees were lower than other cities. With the increase of land purchase and care, etc., it has become necessary to increase costs and they felt it wise to be in the same range as other adjoining communities in the county and yet not burden the city residents more than was necessary. FOLLOWING discussion, the council voted to change the cemetery fees to $150 for residenlot tial lot space and $300 for space becoming effective July 4, 1984. The council reviewed the new license applications that have been submitted, np per-pectu- al - The Fourth of July wouldnt be right without an appearance in the parades of royalty, in this case, the Heights queen and her attendants: Jana 1st attendant; Queen Kristin Varney and Cheryl Stonebraker, 2nd attendant.

Kays-ville-Fru- it Seeg-miile- r, ROYALTY CELEBRATES Fireworks Bring Fires By NORMA set off by careless youth. PREECE Citizens throughout Kaysville have enter complaints with regard to damages being caused by youth setting off fireworks during the past holiday season. Many have purchased illegal as well as those legalized from local stands. PRECUATION should be used by whoever is setting off the fireworks at all times. There were four fires caused during the July 4th holiday by fire- works according to Kaysvilles Fire Chief, Don Howard. The dry season is not at its peak, but will be by the July 24th holiday when they expect a far greater number of fires NEIGHBORHOODS have complained that some youth are throwing bottle rockets on roofs, in people's yards and dog pens. One man was almost hit in the face with one. Animals are fearful of them as well, expecially when confined to pens, where they should be. But to have these fireworks thrown deliberately into their pens is inhumane and a very cruel practice. There was much controversy recently over the treatment of animals at the county animal shelter, yet it is just as inhumane to shoot fireworks into a pen. One person reported that his dog tore its face up from injuries and being scared by the bottle rockets thrown into its pen. He has two valuable dogs and had to take them into his basement to protect them. They were hunting dogs and one has become gun shy from this cruel practice. THE LAW enforcement personnel are taking more drastic steps to curb the dangers that are existing from fireworks. Those who have logistical complaints should report them to the local police and city officials for the necessary steps to be taken to fine those who are abusing the ordinance. Parents are asked to please control their children and youth who are purchasing fireworks and to be concerned how they are and when they are using them, np Bmmtmm By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON - Last Thursday evening two downtown Layton business owners attended the city council meeting to question some aspects of the downtown Layton redevelopment, especially road construction and parking. TED ELLISON, owner of "The Main Street Station and Mrs. of Sills Cafe claimed the road LeAnn Curry, construction had hurt their businesses. Mrs. Curry expressed concern that when the project is completed, there would be no place for large trucks to park. Both cafes rely heavily on truck business and the business from people traveling through the community. -- part-own- er THE PROBLEMS faced by the two business people are somewhat different. Mr. Ellison said that during the 65 days the road has been torn up, the state road people have been difficult to work with. They did not leave any turn around near his business so that customers had to drive nearly a mile to the north or to the south in order to get into The Main Street Station. He also complained that a large pile of dirt was left by the road crews on his property. This made it impossible for customers to park in his lot. Mr. Ellison finally removed the pile of dirt himself so there would be parking space. r IM FOR Main Street development," Mr. Ellison stated, I have two concerns when the project is finished. Will the speed limit be set at 40 mph? I believe this is excessive. Will there be crosswalks on the west side or will the project only benefit the east side of the street? We want to be in business when the projects are through, Mr. Ellison concluded. MRS. CURRY said the road workers had been very considerate of the business. Her complaints were that semi trucks has no place to park now and would have no parking space when everyof our truck thing is completed. "We have lost drivers," she said. When the street work is done will there be parking on both sides of the street for trucks or will they have to go up the street in front of Wares and Watts to park?" Mrs. Curry was also concerned about the design of the road coming from Kaysville into Layton. "The approach is dangerous, she said. COUNCILWOMAN Ann Harris who has worked closely with the downtown rehabilitation project mentioned that neither property owner had attended any downtown rehabilitation meetings to give input to the committee. She said the city officials and the rehabilitation committee would be more than happy to work out problem areas with any business owner. three-fourt- MS. HARRIS assured both cafe owners that there would be more parking on both sides of the street when the project is completed than there is now. This is the first time Layton has been able to use the money from two separate projects at the same time. The road work will be done soon. The CDBG funds wont be available until September but we can start the project now. This shouldnt affect business at all," the councilwoman said. CLARK ADAMS, owner of Wasatch Sporting Goods, chairman of the downtown rehabilitation committee said, All business owners have had problems with the construction work. These problems may consume me. Im still proud of the work of the committee. Its our Main Street. When everything is put together, we will have something Layton can be proud of, he said. Stephan Oda, a downtown property owner said, The construction work has stimulated interest in Main Street. We have had many good offers to sell buildings on Main Street for good prices. THE. DOWNTOWN Layton rehabilitation project is being jointly completed by the Utah State Road Commission, a CDBG grant and a federal grant administered by the Utah State Historical Society, dmg |
