Show II II n Fi By CAROL FLAHERTY One of the major problems facing the Davis County Commission i this year is establishing a clear zone and safety zone at the end of the Hill Air Force Base runway, and it was one of the first items discussed in Tuesdays commission meeting. THE establishment of the mile long safety zone south from the Hill Air Force Base road is not in question any longer, but a formula for reimbursing property owners for the loss in the value of their land is still a problem. As Commissioner Stanley $ It was exceptionally slippery during last Thursdays snow storm, as WRONG WAY said. By CAROL FLAHERTY Its the driver of this truck discovered. Over 100 accident calls has been received by the Davis County Sheriff s office by 1 :30 p.m. Smoot explained it, the problem is that, while the federal government has agreed to purchase rights to 140 acres of the land involved, it has refused the suggestion that it contribute to reimbursing owners of another 210 county acres involved, which could cost as much as $600,000. Layton City has about the same amount of land involved as the county has. government should help reimburse the property owners. In the clear zone, no buildings at all would be allowed, said Joe Moore, county planner. The rest of the land could be zoned for light industrial or agricultural, but not residential. SINCE THE WILLIAM Holt, state representative, was present at Tuesdays commission meeting, and said Governor Calvin Rampton thinks all levels of ViVfVtVAVtVtViV.ViVi'.VAW.V.'.'.'.Wi'i, really been bad today.

Thats just a guess, he THE dispatcher said the sheriffs department couldnt vehicles. . Sheriff Dub Lawrence said that six semis had jackknifed between Layton and Farmington by 2 p.m. Rezoning Bid The County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing Jan. 20 on the possible rezoning of 832 N. Highway 106 in Kaysville from A1 to A2. THE LAND, owned by Sandra M. Tervine, would be used for a dog kennel if the Council entrances to the new north approved a rezoning request made by the Boyd Weaver family to rezone a triangular tract of about .7 acres from agricultural to commercial two to permit the building of a retail store.

The A1 zone prohibits kennels, and the A2 zoning would allow a kennel. The planning commission office says that the closer home to the kennel would be a house 250 ft. or more to the City By CAROL FLAHERTY THE LAND is on the northeast corner of Gordon and State Layton City Planning Commission had recommended the rezonRoad 84.

If funds are available, They will completely redo the road structure, he said. That will entail two way traffic on one side of the road for much of the time, if the work is funded at all. : BIDS WERE received from several firms, and the low bid was from Roy Price Chevrolet for $53,307.70.

THE FIRST one, which is on the first usually held Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. will be devoted to planning for the city, general that might have been carried 5 Open, But Mess Not Over 1- south. -1 By CAROL FLAHERTY between Roy Though and Layton has all lanes open going both north and south, it would be a mistake to think that the mess is over for users of this section of the highway. THERE are many things yet to be done in the spring, says Bert Taylor, of the Department of Transportation (DOT). We made the best judgment call we could in order to bet the traffic flow normal during the winter. However, the bid from Roy Price did not meet bid specifications, and adding the equipment not included would have added to the cost, said Dub Lawrence, Davis County Sheriff. $55,000.

There was also a joint meeting with the Board of Adjustments on property owned by Jerry Weaver. CLINTON City is happy to welcome Alan Veibell aboard the Clinton City Police Department. Mr. Veibell will replace the two part time officers who have been serving. He is a graduate from the Police Academy; attended Weber College where his major subject was police science; and has worked on the Clearfield City Police Force where he was instrumental in establishing a crime lab. He is presently employed by the Job Corps where he is a security officer. The Clinton City Council decided to place a priority on sanding all intersections and major thoroughfares entering and exiting all subdivisions after each snow storm. II areas popula- tion is growing rapidly, the restriction on residential growth will cost property owners a substantial loss in the value of the land. Sometimes four or five generations have owned that land, said Commissioner Glen Hint, and now that its worth some money, their hands are tied." . THE DIFFERENT levels of government are trying to work out a plan whereby the property owners would be reimbursed for the difference between the value of the land as residential property, and its value as agricultural or light industrial property. Commissioner Flint es- timated that the difference might be $3,000 on acre, but - Layton City is to arrange for an appraisal. COUNTY PLANNER Joe Moore said about 50 percent of the land is in unincorporated Davis County, and the rest is in Layton City. Rep. Holt expressed concern that it is almost too late now to prepare legislation and get it through this session of the state legislature, but he said they should try to get action by spring. Rep. Holt said that in other areas when the residential population by an air base grew large enough, it was able to get the base closed because of the noise and danger. COMMISSIONER C. E. Moss said Hill Field brings in about $333,000,000 to Davis County. Something like this is worth the money if you think you are going to lose the base, said Commissioner Flint. COMMISSIONER FLINT was chosen as the Davis County Commission Chairman at Tuesdays meeting. Flint replaces Commission C. E. Moss, who has held the post for the past two years, the traditional length of time a chairman serves.

He is a well trained young dog, sitting, coming, and shaking hands on command, and is extremely gentle and affectionate. He obviously has had a good owner, but since the owner has not come forward, a new owner is needed by Monday or he must be or ask for put to sleep. Call animal control after dialing the courthouse, 376-835- 867-221- DeMONT WIBERG had asked at a previous city council meeting for the rezoning so that he could build some storage unit on the proposed property. Glen Stone of the planning commission told property owners at the meeting of the reason for the rezoning. They would rezone the property from 3 to The property as is now is a narrow strip 75 R-- C-- ft. wide. BRUCE WATKINS explained the long range plan for the property if the rezoning change was made. The property along the highway 300 ft. is already zoned com mercial, but it is not big to enough encourage businesses to build in the area. With the proposed change it would make the commercially zoned property 580 ft. Some property owners were not in favor of the rezoning because of the areas summer traffic problem when the nearby park is crowded. The traffic problem is compounded by traffic from apartment units recently constructed. MR. HANSEN, a property owner, stated that he would rather have the whole area rezoned commercial than have strip zoning. Mr. Barnett stated his views. It would be wise to strip zone the weed patch into something productive and leave the residential area as is. THE MOTION was present- ed to the 4 out of 5 property owners who were involved in the change. The motion was denied that the whole area in mi question be rezoned commercial. A vote was taken on rezoning just the property that Mr. Wiberg was interested in with 2 for 2 against and 1 unknown. The council will discuss this proposal at the next city council meeting Jan. 8 and come to. a decision at that time, vw DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL 1(7rtottUSL.
