AND WHILE the board members spend hours of extra time in their capacity with the Davis and Morgan school districts, Mr. Shell praised them for their efforts with the vocational school. I'd say our board has been very willing to put in any time asked." That has meant trips by many members to Denver to see the Aurora Vocational Center, New Orleans, La., for survey of facilities there and to the Unita Basin. In addition, members have put in countless hours at the legislature on funding concerns, the director said. BUSINESS Manager Leon Tate gave similar high marks to the board. I think theres a maturity on this board that moderates and a lot of diversity makes it a more integrated approach. I think as a board they're dedicated and try to get to the core of the problem." Board Pres. Dee Forbes, who has served on the Davis School Board for four years, I said of the responsibility, feel the board needs to be real supportive.

We can use that expertise to help the area center meet its responsibility to train and place secondary and adult students," he said, noting state regulations placed the vocational board role on the shoulders of school board members to enable better coordination. WITH THE vocational education of secondary students as a primary role, input from school board members is valuable for support and interplay between the two groups, he said, such as in coordinating the transfer of 25 acres from the school district to the state building board for center use. Under that plan, the center will receive the land in ex- - include Dr. Ray Briscoe, left, Verl Noyes, Dee Forbes, board president, Sheryl Allen, vice president, Lucile Reading and Bruce Parry. called.

MICKELSEN SUNSET Sunsets residential areas were down-zoneWednesday and a tys d y building moratorium placed on two commercial zones as the city council made final preparations to accept a new master plan. IN A FOlR-to-on- vote, e council members agreed to approve the planning commission's new zoning map, pending some investigation into the citys expanding commercial areas. y A building moratorium is in effect for l and 2 zones while the council decides whether or not multiple dwellings should be allowed in commercial areas. Most zoning laws allow one, two, three and four-undwellings in certain commercial zones. THE COUNCIL was concerned that a commercial developer might come into the city, buy a large tract of commland and use ercially-zoned for multiple land that of part dwellings. The council was careful not to place a moratorium on other exisiting commercial zones, fearing they demight lose some interested C-- C-- it velopers.

HE NOTED the problem with commercial and residential areas being so close, but said the city should not attempt to spot zone any sector. The mayor said the planning commission recommended that whenever a developer buys two or more commercial lots, the purchase should be carefully reviewed by both the commission and the city council. DISCUSSION over problems in proposed commercial zones continued for nearly an hour until Mayor Sant suggested the possibility of a moratorium on construction.

Mayor Sant said every attempt was made to identify areas where the rezoning would have the most impact. There was also a hint that Sunset may someday have to consider some spot zoning." When we become aware of a situtation, the mayor said, We could go ahead and rezone that. THEN YOU'RE spotindiCouncilman Scott viduals, Mikesell said. Fm saying I believe theres an avenue we can talk about," the mayor continued. He said some rezoning is for the zoning for certain good" of the city. Spot zoning, said Mr. Eborn, occurs when the area zoned is not contingent" to surrounding zones. THERE WERE other opin- ions on the rezoning. Councilman Clayton Peterson said he is not sure he wants to restrict people on what they can do with their property especially when they have paid taxes on the ground for so many years. A resident in the back of the room said the people living around the landowner should have rights as well. THE ONLY plea for apartment dwellers came late in the meeting from Mayor Sant. Though he said most Sunset residents want to curb the number of multiple dwellings, there are a lot of younger residents who cannot afford a home. He urged the council to consider the apartment dweller's plight. But when a final decision was requested, four of the five councilmen voted in favor of the downzoning and moratorium. Councilman Mikesell voted against the plan. MAI OR SANT said in five or ten years the city may have to rezone again. APPROVES DOWNZONING Sunset Mayor Norm Sant tells residents about the impacts of the city s new' master plan. The city council voted to downzone the community s residential areas last Wednesday to allow fewer multiple dwellings. |
