KAYSVILLE Kaysville City Administrator John Thacker said last week the city has moved ahead in several areas including redevelopment and formulation of a city master plan since he was hired as the citys first administrator one year ago. Thacker told the Kaysville Chamber of Commerce that the city is headed for economic disaster if something is not done to change the revenue mix. He said the city is about 70 percent residential, with only 30 percent of the property in the city generating commercial tax revenues. Thacker said revenues cannot keep up with rising costs of operating the city. In an effort to alleviate these problems, Thacker said, the city administration and the City Council are working to implement a comprehensive plan which includes a section of economic development. Thacker said, through the citys redevelopment agency, Kaysville will Make tools available to business owners and developers to upgrade and expand the citys commercial base. He said these tools include condemnation of bonding such as industrial property and tax-fre- e revenue bonds and tax increment bonds which make it economically feasible for a private developer to complete redevelopment projects. He said the redevelopment agency has generally defined the area from 200 South, north to about 600 North including a block on each side of Main Street up to 200 North ancf then primarily on the west side of Main as a redevelopment area. The project area, or the first area to get attention will be the business district along Main and the area north of 200 North on the west side of Main. He said the city is currently laying an in frastructure for future development by installing new water lines in the business district to handle future growth and constructing a new water tank to increase capacity. Main Street will be torn up this summer as the water line project gets started, he said. He said when those projects are completed and the redevelopment agency, which has the same membership as the City Council with Thacker as director, puts together the legal process necessary to get development started, the city will be ready to talk seriously with a developer about specific tenants. Were getting to the point now of talking to a private developer who can arrange for tenants, Thacker said. He said the City Council is leaning toward expanding the local businesses rather than trying to attract competitive national chains for the redeveloped areas. Our objective is not to take a bulldozer to any area, but to make the tools available to business owners to improve or expand their operations, he said. He said the city wants to keep government control at a minimum, but he said condemnation can be a valuable tool. He said that one business owner had asked the revelopment agency to condemn his property. He said in another instance the city has been asked to use its powers of condemnation to help property owners in an illegal subdivision adjacent to the Village Square Shopping Center who cannot use their property because the developer did not meet city ordinances when he formed the subdivision and the lots do not have proper access. He said the matter is presently in court and that one option would be for the city to condemn the property and resell it. Thacker said the city has hired Eugene S. Jacobs, to who referred to as the father of redevelopment, do to a hired was Kenster help formulate plans. Tom been has and that to the area, target pinpoint study completed. Thacker said the city has spent $15,000 on redevelopment and another $15,000 has been He called that a minimal budgeted this year. amount.
