Show T Page Eight - The Pyramid - July 3, 2003 County approves preliminary plans for Fairview waste treatment plant ment plant for reuse if possible. Some of the water will be used at the plant and initially they expect about 100 gallons per minute to be discharged. The fdtering system in the plant will create a flow that will be more or less a constant rate. Water discharged into the Sanpitch River will only be water that the city cannot get the rights to capture or store for later use. The state engineer will have to evaluate the use of the water. In regards to crossing Mrs. Mowers property, there are easements which will be used. There are legal for the land descriptions which they would like rezoned, but some of the fence lines and deed lines do not match. Fairview City is willing to basically make the deed lines match the current fence lines which will benefit the land owners and appears to be to Mrs. Mowers satisfaction. The commissioners are ok with the zone change but will not make it official until the official deed lines are established. by Ray LaFollette MANTI-- - During the July commission meeting, the Fairview City Sewage Treatment Plant rezoning request was approved pending some legal description changes, fireworks and fire dangers were covered, and many other items discussed. Fairview Sewer 1 A public was hearing opened regarding Fairview City Corporations request for rezoning property for the purpose of building a sewage treatment plant and lift station outside city limits. The land belongs to Robert K. Bench of Little Hollow Farms, Inc. Lee Holmstead, county enforcement, prezoning sented the project specifics to commissioners as requested and during the ensuing discussion several items were covered. If the rezoning is approved, Fairview City will purchase the land. There will be a 100 foot buffer zone between the treatment plant building and the property line. It is also 600 feet from the nearest residence. All of the treatment plants workings will be enclosed internally and there should be no conand cerns about freezing bursting pipes in the facility because it is enclosed. There will be no detectable external noise or smell created by the facility. The design of the facility is projected to handle a 3 rate and growth percent should be able to handle the load for at least 20 years. The plant implements modular construction that is designed to handle 385,000 gallons per day and could almost quadruple its capacity. It is expected that initially it would only receive approximately 100,000 gallons per day which means that there is a lot of room for additional use when more homes are added into the system. There is only one other treatment plant similar to this in Utah, it is being built in Oakley and is a smaller treatment plant that is not designed to handle potential surges in their system. The Fairview plant is designed to handle times its capacity in the event of a surge and emergency generators will be used to provide for continuous operation in the event of Commissioner Dettinger made the motion to authorize the change of zones for the and lift station treatment project from Agriculture to Public Facility zones subject to the final legal description in the deed agreements. It was approved. Fireworks John Jensen, Manti City Fire Department, received for the annual approval fireworks at the display Sanpete County Fairgrounds on July. Jensen was asked by Commissioner Dettinger about getting permission to Chief Jensen expressed great concern that all dangers and liabilities involved needs to be considered before burning. Private cemetery hearing for F. Lomond Tullis and Marta Tullis seeking a conditional use permit for a private family cemetery approximately three miles east of A public Spring City was held. During the meeting the commissioners agreed to take a conference call from Brady. Brady expressed concern about the request to create a family cemetery and told the commissioners that his sons which own land near the to be used are property against it. Although he stated that he was neither for or against the project, he feels that by allowing the private cemethe commissioners tery, would be setting a precedent that would encourage all families to get their own cemeteries. Commissioners told Brady that during a public hearing, to protest actions on items requested, they must either receive a written protest prior to the hearing or the protest must be expressed in . person during the Le-Gra- public-hearing- Ross Blackham, county attorney, explained to Brady that everyone has the right to protest all requests for cemeteries and he emphasized that any private cemetery would have to meet all county, state, federal, and health department standards. The owners would also have to provide proof that the long term care and maintenance of it would be done. The commissioners decided to table the request pending the return of Commis Reed Hatch, county recorder, expressed his concern that the plat plan for the subdivision does not agree with the deed figures and that the acreage stated is off by approximately 14 acres and will have to be refigured. One of the other local a land owners expressed concern about the Canal Canyon Road and asked if it would be paved to handle the additional traffic from the subdivision. Commissioners were told that the road is already used by a substantial amount of traffic. The audience was told that the road would eventually be paved and that UDOT has already asked that the road be paved where it connects to Highway 89. Construction would likely begin as soon as possible on the subdivision because all the materials are ready and waiting to be used. A bond of $15,000 was asked for by the commissioners and agreed on. The commissioners cannot give final approval until the plat acreage has been corrected and the covenants reworded. The subdivision could be initially approved next Monday and then officially approved during the July 15 commission meeting pending any problems. sioner Jarrett whom is out of town on business. The two commissioners would like to consult with her prior to making a decision on the cemetery. The public hearing will be continued at the August 5 meeting. Subdivision Tom Crisp and Interwest Engineering Corporation met with the commissioners to request final approval of the Horseshoe Mountain Ranch Estate Subdivision which would be located 2 12 miles south and one mile east of Spring City and would use the Canal Canyon Road for access. The subdivision appears to be very well planned and the commissioners expressed their feelings that it is one of the best planned subdivisions they have seen. All the roads within the subdivision will be paved. There are some concerns about how common space areas within the subdivision would be taxed because the state does not allow any land to be listed with a zero value. Ken Bench, county assessor, explained that a minimum value of $500 is required on any property and must be taxed. He explained that the. common areas increase the value of the actual lots purchased by home owners and their because lot values would be higher a tax equity is expected, but the common areas must be taxed for at least a state required minimum. The covenants to the Jones & DeMille Engineering and Sunrise Engineering have both submitted proposals to the county for the purpose of evaluating and consideration of engineering services for future improve- ments for the Sanpete County Fairgrounds. Proposals will be on the commission meeting Aug. agenda for approval. During the meeting, there was a discussion regarding wilderness areas that may or may not have been designated within Sanpete County. The regional Bureau Of Land Management office was contacted and it was later reported that the BLMs wilderness expert coordinator told commissioners that there is no BLM or Forest Service land in the county that is considered wilderness. 1 Other business Ilene Roth, county auditor, met with commissioners received approval to pur- chase computer inventory software made by Casselle which would be used to track all county assets as required by federal law.

Chief Jensen said that no is allowed until burning October and that Dettinger will have to wait. Jensen further explained that if the Fire department starts the fire then the fire department is liable if it gets out of control or if Dettinger starts it, and it then gets out of control, he would be liable. Chief Jensen said that Ephraim City burned down a house not too dilapidated long ago and while it was burning, a neighboring house caught on fire and was badly damaged. Chief Jensen said that Ephraim city had to rebuild the neighboring house, at great cost, because their insurance wouldnt cover it because the fire department started the fire. a power outage. Mrs. Mower, a land owner involved in the project, expressed concern about how the water will be disposed of and how it would have to cross her land.
