The dinner was held this last Monday, Dec. 10 at the Senior Citizens Center in Ephraim. A proposed new subdivision, industrial park questions, and the installation of a new Manti Youth Council highlighted the regular council meeting held Dec. Larry Braithwaite of Manti met with the Council to discuss plans to develop a subdivision in the northeast section of the city. Braithwaite hopes to develop 14 lots, but emphasized that the viability of the project depended on how much encouragement and participation the city would offer. He said he feels that Manti is entering into a growth period. Manti has the lowest taxes Ive ever encountered," he said. Although this may be a positive aspect for the citizenry, it does not result in a service level which many people have come to expect. Braithwaite asked the Council to review the project and determine to what, if any, extend the city could participate. Mayor Kent Larsen told Braithwaite the Council would discuss the matter and be in touch with him.

New Motel Application Mr. Reynold Johnson, whose application for a zoning change to build a motel at 4th South and Main Street, had been put on hold pending legal advice, was told that legal advice had not yet been given and the matter was still undecided. Following public hearings at which adjacent property owners filed objections, the Planning Commission recommended against changing the classification to permit the motels construction. Mr. Johnson commented that the concerns addressed at the public hearing were not, in his opinion, relevant to the zoning change and that the motel would be an asset to the community. Industrial Park Discussed Mr. Robert Neeley reminded the Council that there was an agreement allowing him to purchase five acres of land in the industrial park. Mr. Neeley was concerned about the shape of the piece of property, which the city proposed selling him. Neeley said he had gone to considerable expense moving earth on the land.
