MICKELSEN A ClearCLEARFIELD field man who says his privacy is being invaded by visitors to the local Kiwanis park came one step closer to peace-ansome quiet last week. d PLANS FOR the construction of a retaining w all separating John Egbert's property . at 22 Vine Circle, and the park, were discussed Tuesday by the city council. Mr. Egbert's property lies only 18 feet from the nearest piece of playground equipment at the park, located at 100 E. 300 N. IN A council meeting earlier this month, he asked the city council to have the equipment removed because children playing at the park are noisy and often stare at him and his family. City Manager Gayle Starks told the council Tuesday that Mr. Egbert has agreed to pay 50 percent of the cost to install a retaining wall sparating his patio from the park. CLEARFIELD, Mr. Staks said, will pick up the tab of the remaining 50 percent of the costs. The cost of the wall was estimated by Parks and Recreation Supervisor Ross Kearl to be approximately $2500. THERE W AS some discussion from the council over the possibility of installing a high fence, complete with slats, instead of the wall. Councilman H. Kay Chandler urged caution by the council in determining whether or not it is the city 's duty to install the wall. He said if some nearby residents see a wall being put in. they may want the same advantage. MR. KEARL said it has been the city's policy to participate in 50 percent of the cost in such situations. He also said Mr. Egbert's lot is the only one affected by park problems and noted that in approving the 50 percent funding the city would not be setting a precedent for future problems. Councilman MeDougal Donald said he likes to see but the citizens happy, don't know how far we can go I DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL 197 "B" North Main St, Layton, Utah 84041 Phone 376-913- 3 Published Weekly by CLIPPER PUBLISHING CO.

THE COUNCILMAN said he did not know if the city should participate for the benefit of only one person.

I'M NOT sure I want to keep him (Egbert happy at $2800." Councilman Chandler said. "In my opinion. 1 think this (retaining wall) is a reasonable situation." said Mr. Kearl.

Mr. Kearl informed the council that he would not have enough money budgeted this year in the parks and recreation fund to pay for the construction of MR.

I THINK if he (Egbert) needs his fence changed, he needs to pay half," the councilman said. Agreeing, the council tabled a decision until further cost estimates can be obtained. MR. EGBERT was not attendance at the meeting. in Comm.

Dee Forbes both say funding distribution is uncertain, at the moment, depending on the budget breakdown required by the State Building Board, the agency that prioritizes and formulates state construction projects. Uncertain, too. is whether the bill wtll even be signed by Gov. Matheson, Mr. Shell said. HERE'S WHAT could happen to that $1.5 million: $35 ,0(M) could be required for architectural fees to Salt Lake architect Glen R. Swenson for the first phase of proposed expansion. That figure could climb to more than $400,000 if $60, 000 for site planning is included, Mr. Shell noted. Payment to the Davis School District of $847,000 for the two existing buildings could be asked as well. Originally the center was owned and operated by the district but it w as later set up as a state area center, a separate entity.

Those two areas, alone, would leave but $400,000 to hardstart any construction ly enough to get very far in today's market. Even the $1.5 million would only be enough for a skeleton. MrluShell has said. Projections put final cost of that first phase at 9 3 million. SPEAKING OF whether county wide or not. would have to be in the form of federal grants or be paid for separately by each municipality. IF THIS complex were in Clearfield." Mayor Townley said." dont know that Layton would support it." He later conected himself saying if the complex is in Layton, there is no guarantee that Clearfield residents will support it. the architectural fees. Mr. Forbes said the building board was asking for the pay ment but Mr. "I WONDER if the location that important." Mr. Kearl said. 1 think it (complex) has to be where the traffic patterns are." Mayor Townley said if the complex is in Clearfield. "1 question whether Layton would ever come that far north." WHY WORRY about Layton?" City Manager Gayle Starks asked. He said there are plenty of w tiling participants in the north end of the county and plenty of room to develop sufficiently. But Councilman Donald MeDougal warned that "the biggest participation would be from Layton and Clearfield." 1 WITH THE possibility of only a few of the cities partici- pating. there was some concern by the council over whether or not the district application would be financially successful. The location of the complex would be another drawback, some councilmen argued. Shell said the board probably BUSSEI.BERG KAYSVILLE funding for the project, is wouldn't require the lump sum as "front-enmoney." A meeting with Rep. Franklin Knowlton and Sen. Haven Barlow indicated both favor moving as far ahead as possible on building construction. But it all lies in the hands of the governor and building board. Mr. Shell said. d IF THE $1.5 million is approved a meeting will be set with the building board and architect, he added. The figures were discussed during an area vocational board meeting last week. IN A RELATED matter. Mr Forbes said a proposal from the school board for construction of an elementary school on the southwest corner of the vocational center site had kind of (been) put on the back burner." MR. KEARL noted that if the complex and district makes enough money to remain in operation, the citys' portion of the payment will he based on their population.

And plans could be altered to minimize such impacts, he said, with the possibility of vocational center acquisition of the elementary school in the future, if needed, for additional classroom space.
