Show DAVIS REFLEX JOURNAL, FEBRUARY 19, 1985 Cities Seek Grant Fumdin base, beyond a bank, service station and few other small businesses, is seeking funds to help build that small tax base. By TOM BUSSELBERG Editor Reflex-Journ- FARMINGTON - The countys mayors and county commissioners are set to pinpoint w -- AN EXISTING service station would be razed along with an unused carwash by the city after purchasing the parcels. The bare land would then be sold back to the service station owner at market value for construction of an store expanded service that should create two new jobs while retaining two others, the city points out in its application. The site is at the southwest corner of 1800 hich cities will receive some of the $800,000-plu- s in federal block grant funding Feb. 20. ALTHOUGH the lion's share has been earmarked for economic development, including providing seed" money for expanding existing businesses within the county or as an incentive to draw new' blood, several other projects are vying for funds. They include: $100,000 for the Davis County Housing Authority; $37,000 to Wasatch Front Regional Council; $168,000 to Clinton, $200,000 to West Point and $3 10,000 for several Clearfield projects. In addition, the county is seeking $25,000. THE HOUSING Authority has received funding in the past for various assistance projects. This year, they'd utilize funds as loans to very low income home owners for code deficiency repairs such as roofing, plumbing, electrical or heating. Fight-1homes will be included.

Clearfield is asking for funding of four projects: $167,065 to replace water and sewer lines, for a new storm drain and new curb and gutter in an old subdivision; $22,755 for a new storm drain to hopefully eliminate ponding in a mobile home park; storm drain, new curb, gutter sidewalks and street surface in a World War subdivision for $ 20.0(H) and sidewalk construction at $7,875 share. curb and gutter, sidewalk and essentially mean new streets.

Flooding has caused sinkage and ruined lawns in the park. DAVIS COUNTY is seeking $25,000 in funds for a housing study to be conducted through the planning office. It would be used to determine the condition of existing rental housing and its availability and could serve as a source in forming county housing goals and policies. Grants are coordinated through the mayoral Council of Governments with a committee assigned to review applications and make recommendations to the entire body tonight. Funds come from the state and are funnelled through Wasatch Front Regional Council, a planning agency. Last year, $400,000 was earmarked for economic development and the rest divided for various Authority projects while previous years saw all funds going for assorted projects, weighed by mayors using a point system. five-count- A TOTAL $241,720 package price is placed on a project that includes Villa Drive reconstruction.

Kavsville Delays Vote On Apartments By TOM HARALDSEN - The Planning KAYSVILLE Commission, confronted with an overflow crowd of irate citizens, tabled a motion for approval of the Shanna Subdivision apartment development Thursday night. FOLLOWING A 21: hour public-hearinin which city administrator John Thacker tried to answer questions and calm the fears of residents of the area, the commission decided to delay final approval of the project until city engineers could further study changes in storm drain and roadway conditions the development would make mandatory. The area in question is a plot of land, triangular in shape, located on the James Brough property west of Main Street and near Kaysville Junior High. Scott Priest, a Layton developer, has proposed building 12 on five acres of the site. The apartments would each be two bedroom units, with a maximum occupancy of four persons, and would rent initially for $375 per month. Their outside construction would be a combination of brick veneer and four-plex- aluminum siding. THE DEVELOPMENT has been a hotly contested issue in Kaysville for several months. During pre- vious hearings on the project, citizens expressed concern over the city's long range comprehen- sive planning, zoning, impact on the surrounding neighborhoods, streets and access conditions, drainage, public safety and impact of renters. Mr. Thacker began the hearing by addressing each area of concern. He was often interrupted by residents with questions or statements, and at least one man began shouting his opinions at Mr. Thacker, the commission and even the citizenry. PERHAPS THE biggest single issue concerns the zoning for the property itself. In 1977, the site was part of a parcel zoned commercial. But in 1979, the city updated its Zoning Ordinance and the Brough property became General Commercial, qualifying it for the planned development. Residents stated that an ajoining parcel owned by Cliff Linford was not included in the change, and they now question whether the zoning change was done legally. C-- l, I THINK we need to look at a legal procedure to see if the way in which the zoning was done in 1979 is really legal, stated Norm Whitaker, who has been a leader of the opposition of the project. He said the residents of the neighborhood were nevertold orconsulted about the rezoning. But Mr. Thacker countered by saying that the new ordinances were aired in public hearings before their adoption during a city council meeting on July 17. 1979. Of equal concern to those present is the impact of renters in the community. Mickie Johnson got a loud round of applause when she said Is our concern to provide tax shelters for developers, or to keep the lifestyle we love in Kaysville intact? We want people who will own their homes and take pride in the community, who care. Are we going to allow ourselves to follow the examples of cities like Layton and Bountiful that are filled with apartments. Living six months in an area is not long enough to love it." KEN JAMIESON told the commissioners that, before buying his home in Kaysville, he had to rent for many years, "and I didn't care about what the outside of the apartment looked like. 1 was only con- cerned about the people within those four walls. I didn't care about the community at all." only use Humana doctors for my family Whether it's a checkup or an emergency, trust Humana doctors.
