The county will be using the drains to take storm water out of the effected areas, around 2600 South in Woods Cross and 500 South in West Bountiful. These areas have been having prob- lems with flooding with every major storm, County missioner Glen Saunders said. Parking A Snag in Development KAYSVILLE A parking problem on Kaysvilles lower main street was the center of concern and controversy at a public hearing and redevelopment agency meeting in Kaysville last week. The meeting began with a report from a committe of owners of businesses in the block west of the municipal building between First North and Center Street. The committee submitted several ideas about redevelopment and included a street plan which would create parking on both Center Street and First North. The plan suggests that the two streets be closed for one block, from Main to First West, to two way traffic. Traffic traveling only one way on these streets would allow for angle parking on both sides of those streets. The hearing was set up to discuss the community development block grant that the city will recieve to redevelop the street. The City Council was asking for imput on where and how the that is allowed, should be spent. It had been planned that $150,000 would be spend on site development, and the other $50,000 were intended for sidewalk repair and improvement. The council suggested that it might be possible to use all or some of that money for commercial development. This would include low interest loans to owners or tenants in the buildings. The loans would be used to refinish the exterior portion of the buildings. It was suggested by several business owners that parking was also an important issue and that some of those funds $200,000 should be used to develop parking. The City Council meetings followed on the heels of the public hearing. The first item on its agenda was the block grant. In the midst of discussion, it was suggest- ed that the complicated issue needed more clarification. The motion that finially ended the discussion requires more study about us- ing money for commercial development, looking for anarchitec- - The drains have with the change of maintenance and regular maintenance costs are expected to be minimal. : Before responsibility can be transfered, the Bureau of Recla- mation has required the water district to dredge the upper portion of the drains and blade the maintenance right of way of both drains. The county is required to re-mo- the dredge material or to level it. They will also be moving some russian olive trees along Redwood Road, Saunders said. . Commission Chairman Ernest Ebarhard said that the agreement was a result of re- ; t ture, determining application criteria for the loans and developing a time line. Getting parking statistic, working on the total plan of the street and looking at other sources of funding are also items that the council will be considering. It was clarified by Mayor Gar Alison that the $200,00 would be used as seed money. Hopefully creating new avenues of revenues. DO YOU HAVE A the result of a long, long struggle. The actual agreement for storm drainage in the 20 foot agriculture drains was made just after they were completed on May 1958. The agree- ment allowed the into the drains. The county has not used that right in the past and only began to examine the issue a year ago. Saunders said that the county would be building a reserve county to put 30 sec- fund for emergency onds of storm water use on the drains. Lakeside Review IMP?
