Show Vuili' 2B. Lakeside Re it, October 2.i, 1980 Hillside Study Discussed A meeting was FARMINGTON held by the Davis County Planning Commission last week to receive input on the hillside development study that has been conducted in the county. The study was conducted to pinpoint possible hazards that may be involved with building along the hillside areas of the county. The Thursday meetings purpose was to gather input from those who will be affected by the study. The meeting was attended by representatives from the cities with hillside developments, mortgage bankers, home builders and He said when something goes wrong, the homeowners blame the government and not the developer. They always ask, why did you let us build up there? The finalized report will provide the county with the needed information on the hillside areas to point out danger areas, according to Merrill Redd, Professor of Geology at the University of Utah. Redd said there were five stages in the study and 10 major maps. The material now is compiled in a volumn and will be gone over with the entities involved. Developers at the meeting were apprehensive that some of the materials shown in the study may be translated into ordinances. They felt that would jeopardize their financing. Art Gregerson, Davis . County Homebuilders, said he thinks officials are pushing it through too fast. Wed like to see it slowed down. Redd pointed out the study has been conducted over the last 22 months and now that the facts are together officials are going to be meeting with each of the entities involved to discuss how it may affect them. He also said the study is just a data bank for the planning commission. It designates possible dangers that exists and rates the degree of the danger. He said it can be used as a tool for developer to help with their planning. Gregerson said he was worried if some of the points became part of an ordinance. He sited one part of the study that stated the developer should accommodate all surface water runoff. He said he had run into ordinances like that before. Redd sai the intent of the entry was to make sure the runoff was not directed into a natural stream. There should be engineers. They met with members of the study team that had been hired by the county. The hillside development study is being funded through the Four Corners Regional Commission. Acting county planner Albert Cole said the final documentation on the study will be turned over to the regional commission in December. Cole said the county initiated the study to help homebuyers in the hillside areas. We need to be responsible for the area, he said. We're concerned with what happens up there. 2 Property Owners Want Out of Clinton CLINTON Two property owners will go to court next week to determine if they can their property from Clinton City. Edwin M. Higley and Viola Turley of are requesting the their property just west of the Country Hills Subdivision on 800 N. because of a zoning disagreement with the city. The case will be heard on Monday in Utahs Second District Court. The decision reached will involve approximately 23 acres of land that is now in Clinton. Higley said he has been fighting the city for nine years in order to do something with the land. The property is currently zoned for residential use, but for only one unit per acre of land is allowed. . Higley had petitioned at one time, Clinton City Manager Damon Edwards said, for smaller lots on the property. He said the property owners around Higley had fought it because they were afraid he would put mobile homes on it. to fight the Clinton City is going disconnect. Edwards said that the type of rezoning Higley is after may be possible in Clinton. He wont come in and petition, he said. Higley said he has talked with the mayors in both Clinton and Clearfield and he wants to leave Clinton to join Clearfield City. He said the property adjoins Clearfield on two sides. Higley also stated he had been told by Clinton that they could not supply the water and sewer to his property and there was no place for the storm water to run off. He said they had now changed their minds on the water and sewer, but still cannot do anything about the storm water. Higleys attorney, Gerald Hess, said this is one of the main reasons he is seeking the Because of the topography of the ground Clinton cannot take care of the storm water at this time, he said. Hess also said Higley is mainly concerned with his ability to resale the property. The attorney retained by Clinton, Michael D. Lyon, said the city is because of a fighting the number of factors. Mainly it depends on the effect upon the city itself, he said. He said the judge will look at whether the property is an island parcel which would leave it surrounded by Clinton or other physical factors that may come into it. He also said another concern is for the taxpayers. The property taxes are l divided equally between property owners in the city. This type of action will change this distribution. He said it presents a problem even if the property owners withdrawing agree to pay the costs. He said the judge will determine if is warranted and if the so he will appoint a commission. The commission will then determine how much will need to be paid in order for them to leave. Mrs. Turley said that Higley is interested in buying her property. She said he has offered her $3,050 per acre for her land. Its mostly farm land, she said. She turned this offer down and said she is holding out for $15,000 per acre. When Mrs. Turley was asked if she from Clinton, so was trying to that Higley could buy h?r land, she said, I guess. Clearfield City is not aware of the Higley-Turle- y intent to annex. Carl Jensen, head of Clearfield planning and zoning, said, Nobody has come in and petitioned for Annexation. published, in national and international publicat- ions.

Another major areas of concern in the study was earthquakes. The study has identified faults and danger areas in relation to this hazard. Redd said the study has taken into consideration the formations and the magnitude of earthquakes which might occur in that area. From this data the study has rated areas accordingly.

Redd said that the study is not intended to be the last study done. It is an overall view of the area which only will alert builders and others to possible hazards, further studies will be needed beyond this study, he said. It identifies general areas where there are problems, he said, The developers have to prove there isnt a problem or how they can negate them.
