Show Residents May Sue Fruit Heights City Page 44, Lakeside Reiew, October 30, 1980 FRUIT HEIGHTS Citizens in Fruit Heights are preparing legal action against the city because they have been turned down in an attempt to hold a referendum vote, on a zoning law. The citizens requested the referendum because they disagreed with a decision the city council had made concerning a zoning change on June 3 of this year. Marilee Wilson, a citizen representative, said, We are asking for the right to have the referendum vote. We feel that Utah needs the right for citizens to vote on something that major. Assistant City Manager T.J. Burns said that if the city had a master plan developed and approved at the time of the zoning change there would be no referendum vote allowed. The city is approximately two months away from final approval of its master plan, he said. The property involved in the action is located at the southwest corner of U.S. 89 and 4th North and involves approximately 8 acres. On June 3 the city council approved a zone change from residential to commercial usage. This is what upset the citizens, Mrs. Wilson said. They dont want a commercial area by their homes. Thats what we moved out here to get away from, she said.

She said many of the Fruit Heights residents feel the same way. She said the difficulties appeared when the citizens attempted the referendum vote and had it turned down by the city. Mrs. Stewart said the citizens are also concerned with the spot zoning. She said of the citizens shes contacted most would like the commercial zones left down in the south end around the Cherry Hill area. Roth Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Wilson said they are receiving support from many of the Fruit Heights citizens for their efforts. They said they have received enough financial support that they have been able to hire an attorney. We couldnt have done it if everyone didnt support it, Mrs. Stewart said. Their attorney,' Curtis Drake of Salt Lake City, was unavailable for comment on the case. Mrs. Wilson said she believes he is getting ready to file suit. Manager Burns said this action could have some serious consequences on the city of Fruit Heights. At a recent planning commission meeting it was mentioned that they may have to begin considering disincorporation and annexation to another city. Burns approached the commission with the suggestion that a meeting between Kaysville and Fruit Heights planned for the first part of November may be a good time to bring up the idea of a merger with them.
