Jeanne Kearl, Neil Johnson and Duke Richards came before the Kaysville City council to discuss a petition to vacate a portion of Sherwood Drive in the King Clarion Hills Subdivision. SHE STATED the area in question is the most recent development in the subdivision. Mrs. Kearl explained that the steepness of the hill is very impractical to develop a city street on and that the only way to solve that would be to take the top off the hill but, that would make it impractical for lots. She said that Mr. Shirley Jacobsen has listed this piece of property for sale, but that it was her proposal, as well as that of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Richards to propose another use for the property. She explained that on the west portion of the property, which consists of two acres, Mr. Johnson would like to be a one residence piece of ground with access on Thornfield Road, therefore, requesting the city vacate this portion back to Shirley Jacobsen. THE EAST portion of the property consists of 2.3 acres of ground and is being purchased by a group of property owners known as the Oxford Group. Mrs. Kearl stated that this property would be developed at a later date with access from Devon, but that this property would only be developed when the Ernest Behling estate wanted to develop. She further stated they were there to request the city to vacate the street and give title back to Mr. Jacobsen. COUNCILMAN Brit Howard informed those present that normally the title would go to all abutting property owners. Mayor Gerald Purdy expressed concern regarding a driveway approach owned by Ted Birch and suggested that Mrs. Kearl get in touch with Mr. Birch and work out an agreement with him before the city vacates the street. MAYOR GERALD Purdy stated that the Utah League of Cities Convention is scheduled and informed the interested for Sept. council members to let Recorded Dean Steele know if they planned to attend. Mayor Purdy informed the council that he had received a letter from UTA regarding the expansion of their bus services. IT WAS brought to the attention of the council that some political campaign signs are being posted on city power poles and this is against the city ordinance. It was suggested that Kaysville City Building Inspector Jesse Pearson be informed of this practice and send out letters to those w'ho are posting signs illegally, np 19-2- 2 BmykmAmm IT WAS proposed that Fruit Heights City be included in the district and the Board of County Commissioners of Davis County is requesting that the governing authority of Fruit Heights adopt within 30 days from Aug. 9 an appropriate resolution consenting to the inclusion of their city, within the boundaries of the proposed Davis County Solid Waste Management and Energy Recovery Special Service District. The council had been provided a copy of a proposed resolution to be adopted by the city, prior to the meeting, along with a description of the special district proposal. January, 1985, explained Mayor Brand. Each THE NEW plan calls for city and county ownership of the plant, with all revenues and benefits derived from the plant going to these entities. The contract with the proposed builder of the plant, would change from the old contract. The firm would not own the plant, but would be responsible over the contract perior to see that it operates correctly. PLANT SITE has not yet been specifically determined. After much discussion. Councilman Ross Phillips moved that Fruit Heights city adopt the proposed resolution, requesting Fruit Heights be included in the proposed Davis County Solid Waste Management and Energy Recovery Special Service District. The council agreed to the motion. ALL CITIES approving the district will have members on the board that will be formed to formulate policy and set fees for the burn plant. Cities not participating in the project will pay fees set by the board. Due to the Deficit Reduction Act of 984 - the Industrial Revenue Bonds must be sold by COUNCILMAN Larry W. Pulsipher made a suggestion to the council members that the bottom of the catch basin be leveled out by the citys backhoe so that during the winter months the water could freeze and could be used for ice skating. The council agreed with the recommendation. np Katy-Seghcr- s, 20-ye- ar state may issue $200 million of the bonds retroactive to 1984 there will therefore be a rationing of projects. It is estimated that the burn plant will cost $35 million. THE BONDS would be based on a floating interest rate. All revenues would go to the district to pay off the bonds and cover the operating costs. About nine percent of the plants revenue would come from the sale of steam energy to Hill Air Force Base. v THE COUNCIL approved the license be granted to Mr. McMillan. In order to solve a county-wid- e problem of waste disposal, the Davis County Commission adopted a resolution on Aug. 8 giving notice of its intent to create a special service district for the purpose of waste disposal. 1 |
