Multiple housing has not been received favorable in the past four or five months. -- THURSDAY evening there were three public hearings to consider rezone requests. All three rezones were to create multiple housing complexes. Two were flatly turned down. A third project was tabled. As each rezone hearing was announced, the room filled with citizens living near the proposed multiple housing project. In all cases, the citizens were opposed to the projects. i GIVING TO HUNGRY Clark VanBuren, upper right, and Justin Hartman, both 10 and 5th grade students of Les Broadhead at Cook Elementary School in Syracuse, have helped spearhead contributions to help the starving children in Ethiopia and the rest of Africa. After reading about the childrens plight in the Weekly Reader, the youngsters decided to wage a campaign in the school to raise at least 25 cents for each student. More than $170 had been raised by presstime and they were hopeful of achieving $200. Donation cans were made and distributed to each classroom. To get a tiny feel of what hunger is like, some students skipped lunch one day and others gave up two meals, donating the funds. Even kindergarteners have participated, Mr. Broadhead said, with funds raised to be donated to the Red Cross for distribution. - t THE FIRST rezone request considered was made by the Hanover Land Trust. Spokesman for the company, Neil Blackburn asked for a change of zone on property just east of Layton High School on North Fort Lane. The change in zone would have allowed the deun-- ; y velopment of 120 its on six acres of ground for a density of 20 units per acre. There in and would be the project. , Speaking for the development s Mr. Blackburn, Vaughn Fow-.- v multi-famil- Name Councilman , -- LAYTON Don Crockett was unanimously appointed to a one year term on the Layton City Council last Thursday evening at the regular city council meeting. He was sworn into office Friday morning. -- - MR. CROCKETT was selected from 15 applications submitted. He will fill the position vacated by Golden Sill when Mr. Sill gave up his council seat to assume the mayorship of Layton following the resignation of Mayor Lewis G. Shields. Don Crockett has lived in Layton since 1942. He is a graduate of Davis High School. HE WORKED for the Jim Brough Realty Company in Kaysville for five years before he opened a business partnership as a Realtor. Since 1976 he has been a partner in the Proper, ty Consultants Realty. He has served on the Layton Planning Commission for three years. MR. CROCKETT says his experience as a realtor and as a member of the planning commission has made him familiar with Laytons planning and zoning ordinances. He hopes to bring strength to the council in the areas of planning and zoning. Don is married to the former Shirlie Ray. They are the parents of three children. They have four grandchildren, dmg ler, a Layton realtor and an architect. All three men explained that there would be a strip left along Fort Lane for commercial offices. They claimed that there . would be no market for single family dwellings along Fort Lane since it is a major collector road for the city. A multiple housing development would stimulate downtown businesses that have suffered since - which adds to the spirit of the season and has come to be a hallmark of the Kaysville Jaycees. THE JAYCEES brought Santa to town at the Kaysville City hall on Dec. 8 for all the children to meet Santa and give their Christmas order. Ron Adams and Mike Watkins were chairmen of this program which is a traditional event in the city each Christmas season. The annual Jaycee and Jaycee Women Christmas party will be held at 8 p.m. on Dec. 15 with Mark and Diane Anderson as chairmen. This will be held at the Silver Age Center in Kaysville.

Glen Cr. has been appointed by the Fruit Heights City Council to serve on the Planning Commission to represent District 3; the position is a dual role, Mr. Hansen will also serve as a member of the Board of Adjustments, representing District 3 and the Planning Commis sion. APPOINTMENTShave been scheduled to interview selected candidates for the position of City Administrator. An updated personnel policies and procedures manual has been drafted by a committee appointed by Mayor Dean Brand. The committee consists of Councilmen H. Dean Wade, Lynn W. Cook, Larry W. Pulsipher and citizen Bill Prows. FRUIT HEIGHTS , THE MAIN arguments from the opposition were that it was too close to a high school, it would have an impact on the public safety of the city, there is already too many multiple housing projects in Layton and it would drop the value of people's property who live nearby. Mayor Sill and several members of the city council recommended that the developer and property owners living nearby get together and work out some compromises. Councilwoman Harris said, "We have to consider land use. Is it better to work with a developer who would put up a good project or do some piecemeal work? A CX zone would give the city control. We can put some limits on the development. THE REZONE request was nied because of the concerns about being close to the high school and the problems of police and fire protection. Dick Moffitt, representative of de- Boyer Company, presented the second rezone request. He wanted the zone on 10 acres at the southeast side of Rainbow and Fairfield zoned to CX from Boyer Company wanted to construct 154 apartment units v Mr. Moffitt ex-- . plained that Boyer Company had owned the property since 1978. They had tried to develop a commercial center but could find no tenants. The alternative was a nice multiple housing project with deep set backs from home owners, good landscaping and the arrangement of buildings so that there would be no balconies facing a home owners property. C-P- was mentioned in the earlier public hearing. The neighbors claimed they would prefer a shopping center to a multiple housing project because there are so many multiple housing developments already in existance on Fairfield Road. Again the rezone request was denied. THE FINAL rezone request came from Hanover Trust through spokesman Neil Blackburn. The request would have changed the zone on 5.7 acres of property south of Elm Street on South Fort Lane to allow construction of 20 units. The density would have been 14 units per acre. Mr. Blackburn said the units would be different in style and color to take on a residential char- acter. CITIZEN objections were again the same as they were to the other rezone requests-t- oo may multiple housing units already, impact on schools, devaluating property, impact on public safety, etc. Councilmembers mentioned this would be one way of getting rid of the old mill and an empty house that is also on the property. COUNCILMAN Sam Trujillo made a motion that both sides sit down and come up with a solution. The request would be tabled until something was worked out. This motion was killed. Councilman Kent Smith made a motion to deny the rezone request. This motion did not pass. COUNCILMAN Bob Stevenson said, Were not getting anywhere. I move that we table the request. This third motion passed unanimously, dmg Igfi&I)XiSt Dean Harris and Mike Watkins were recently sworn in as new members of the Kaysville Jaycee Chpater. np Fomders Kaysville Mobile Home Park By NORMA PREECE ing on the Kaysville Farms Mobile Home Park.

STEVE Humphrey, chapter president expressed appreciation for his contribution from .the Kaysville Chapter as well as the Utah Jaycees. The Jaycees will be lighting the traditional Star on the Mountain east of the city from Dec. This is a marvelous community service for the Christmas season for all to enjoy. Mark Dunlevy is chairman with Jeff Dunford as the Mall was built, the developers claimed. The mayor announced the annual Christmas party for city employees will be held Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. MAYOR PURDY asked Chief Larkins to check on the caution lights at Davis High School intersection on the State Highway and the Chief reported he had already contacted the State Highway with the matter. The council discussed the appeal pend DEVELOPER Steven Romney of Kaysville and his brother David Romney of Arizona had planned to build 310 unit mobile home park on the 82 acres of land. The property is located south of Center Street, on land that was annexed into Kaysville last year. The Kaysville Planning Commission had approved a conceptual design for the park several months ago. They asked the developer to make provisions for a wider (feeder) road to handle the traffic as well as larger sewer lines. THE COUNCIL had discussed the park issue previously and Tuesday night they reported the plan would be sent back to the Planning Commission to correct it technically. The Planning Commission had previously denied the conditional-us- e permit for the mobile home park during the Nov. 8 meeting where a Public hearing was held. At the hearing, there was much opposition to the devlopment and also a petition presented to the council protesting the park. STEPHEN Romney is appealing the commission decision. He feels that housing is needed in Kaysville area, but the residents opposing the park feel the development would create an adverse impact on those living in the neighborhood and surrounding areas. The planning commission will review the plan at their next meeting Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. SCOTT Priest met with the council to seek approval for a subdivision to be known as Shanna Subdivision on acreage west of the high school on 50 West adjacent to the LDS Church property. He presented his preliminary plat. He stated the subdivision will be one lot per low-co- st 1 family, all built identical, townhouse style with two bedrooms and bath, two parking stalls, etc. rent set at $350 monthly, very nice units. FOLLOWING discussion the council approved the preliminary plat as presented. , The adoption of an ordinance making it unlawful to violate rules and regulations adopted by the Central Davis County Sewer District was discussed by the council and given approval, np |
