Preece, spoke of the past problems with the tenants of the old home and expressed concern that the second unit would just compound the problems and further their devaluate The Clover Fstates delegation presented a board showing the type of homes in their area and a petition to stop the occupancy of the old home and have it removed reported that they had questioned the MR. BELT placement the new unit and had contacted the inspector about it, also had contacted the Davis County Health Department, who had come out and posted it as unfit for occupancy until it meets code. Kaysville City building inspector, Herman Blamirts reported that he had assumed when he the property was issued the permit, but in checking found it was which requires 70 foot frontage and 8,000 square feet, but Mr. Sanders could still get three minimum lots out of the property but he would have to remove the old shed off the back of the existing home to get the required side yards. ALSO THERE was a of R-- 3 R-- 2 difference on the parkway NUMBER NINE in the north were assessed a 2 27 mill levy, while those in the south were only county fire agreement cona cooperative agreement with the Utah Two tracts, one State Forester and the other a protection contract between the Davis County Commissioners and Clinton were signed by County on Tuesday THE contract with the State few caused Forester problems as commissioners readily agreed to approve the contract w'hich calls for the county to pay $3,2R6 to cooperate in the protection of 6,478 acres of land in the Wasatch National Forest The cooperative agreement, approved for one year, specifies that the county agrees to help pay to increase fire control devices in the forest area, which lies in the county THE FIRE protection contract wuth Clinton was not so easily disposed of since commissioners were not sure if they should attach a mill levy clause to the contract for fire protection The decision erupted into a of whether fire in the north is more expensive than fire protection in the south end of the county Commissioner C F Moss said the problem of de- discussion protection termining fire costs to ci- tizens is difficult since two separate fire protection systems are used IN THE south end of the county, three cities, West Bountiful, Centerville, and Woods Cross are unincorporated areas of the county, are assessed a levy and are provided protection through the South Davis Fire Department, operated by the county In the North end, where the county has no fire department, the county pays the cities to supply fire protection for the unincorporated areas accordingly. Of course these would not have to moved back, unless the city would not deed him some 13 additional in the parkway, as they have done in some parts of the city. MR. BLAMIRES also reported that a stop order has been put on the construction paying one mill. COMMISSIONER C. E. Moss said the inequity was explained by the fact that cities in the south end were paying an additional one mill to provide $40,000 in revenue funds for the purchase of a fire truck. He said the arrangement had been made between the cities in the south and the sharing county and w'as worked out by former Commissioner Stanley Smoot who made the agreement wuth the cities COMMISSIONER Flint questioned whether the mill levy system versus the revenue sharing system would not w'ork out to the Commissioner Flint questioned whether cities in the south might decide that, since they had paid funds to purchase the fire truck, they might feel they had equity in the equipment If they should decide to pull out of the agreement with the county to supply fire protection, there might be a problem, he said Presently North Salt Lake, Farmington and Bountiful have no contract with the county and supply their own fire protection COUNTY Clerk Rod Walker said the county originally as- sessed l2 mills for county fire protection. Commissioner Flint said that, when Layton bought new fire equipment, mill was added to the extra north end levy. The south end has just as good of equipment as Layton and yet he said Moss said the mill levy this year will be they pay less, Commissioner Glen Flint questioned why the cities and placed at Commissioner 2 27 that as long as the homes meet zoning and code requirements, there was nothing that could be done to but suggested that the solution to the problem would be for Mr Sanders to tear down the old home and build two nice new duplex units on theproperty. DEAN Sanders reported that when he was finished with the two units, they would both meet code and he would have some $30,000 in one and $36,000 m the other, but if any of the surrounding property owners wished to purchase the property, he would be willing to sell at a fair market. Also, as far as the caliber of renters is concerned, this is a matter that cannot be negotiated according to law. prevent construction, AFTER further discussion, Councilman Gerald Purdy moved that since the matter of deeding the extra width of the parkway to Mr. Sanders agenda for at this meeting, the muio-- be tabled This was pasvJ unanimously by discus-ic- r the couiii il The appioal of a beer license for Pi vice Milgate, new owner operator of the Longhorn I ounge was recommended by Chief 1 yle Larkins and was passed by the council A LOITERING ordinance prepared by King & King Attorneys was read and the council adopted the ordinance Supt Max Major reported that the work under the BOR grant was going forward on the construction of the new tennis courts at the Gailey Park Parsons Asphalt had submitted a proposal to do the parking lot which is also planned for the area SUPT.
