Due To Sign Changes Layton Will Be Identified On Antelope Interchange LAYTON - Layton city and chamber of commerce officials are assured their city will be properly identified, especially when it comes to the -- new Antelope Interchange. Drive-Syracu- SINCE that opened about two months ago, some complaints have arisen that drivers might be confused as to where Layton begins and ends. At Antelope Drive Interchange, for instance, Layton isn't iden tified at all. perhaps leading some to drive an additional mile, if going southbound, to where signs have denoted Layton's exit. the Utah Department of Transportation announced some changes in signing laic last week that will include two new Layton indicating signs, one for northbound and the other southbound drivers. Continued on next page Layton Denies Garbage Plant Zone By DONETA GATHERUM (Editors Note: This is a more detailed report of last weeks Layton Planning Commission decision.) LAYTON Layton Citys planning commission unanimously denied a request to rezone sixteen and acretoXjico!ai,y Jocated at about 1000 W. which State 193 in Layton from agricultural to would allow Construction of a solid waste recovery plant to recycle garbage from the entire area of Davis County into steam power and electrical power. - one-ha- lf M-- l, THE REQUEST was presented by County Environmental Health Director Richard E. Harvey. He is also the secretary of the Davis County Solid Waste Management Board, the group that has investigated the possibility of building a resource recovery plant in the county for the past two year. About 60 people attended the public hearing. Most were property owners living adjacent to the proposed site. Some were Clearfield residents who would be affected by the increased volume of traffic near their homes if the plant were constructed. Others were Layton residents who feared the plant might be relocated in their neighborhoods. THE COMMISSIONS decision was based on negative input given by citizens and Layton City department heads. As Mr. Harvey introduced the proposal to the citizens, he stated he would answer questions about the environmental impact the plant would have on the area and questions about traffic patterns. He stated he would not respond to questions about financing. RANDY HARRIS, former Layton City Councilman and a professional CPA with experience in industrial bonding and other forms of financing that the plant developers would use, has been highly critical of the county. Mr. Harris has stated his research and the experts in the field that he has contacted claim n dollar financing the building of this facility would be impossible at this time. Responding to questions about increased traffic in the immediate area of the plant, George Ramjoue of the Wasatch Front Regional Council stated the plant would not generate much more traffic than already exists along State 193. He said the road currently handles 10,500 vehicles daily. The projected figures for 1985 (after plant construction was completed) would be 10,900 average daily traffic. The plant would be receiving deliveries during normal working hours only. A small portion of the deliveries made to the plant would be commercial garbage trucks. Most vehicles visiting the plant would be cars and pick-u- p trucks. multi-millio- STATE HOUSE of Representative seats will be up for grabs between the following candi- KCA ELECTS MR. RAMJOUE stated Clearfield would feel the impact of increased traffic more than Layton. The plant site is located near on and off ramps for the freeway system. Most surface roads in Layton and Clearfield would be unaffected by vehicles traveling to the plant, Mr. Ramjou felt. RESPONDING to a question about locating the plant near the lake or in an area already damaged by HAFB airplanes, Mr. Harvey stated the plant needed to be close to Hill Field because the Base would be the primary market for the steam the plant would generate. He said if the plant were located near the lake the steam would have to be piped a great distance to reach the market. Steam loses efficiency in transportation. Mr. Harvey said the plant could not be located in the Greenbelt zone just south of the base because of the height of the structure. The plant would be seven stories high. The smoke stack would be 100 feet. THE VISUAL pollution caused by a plant of this size would effect everyone within a radus of one-hamile, Gary Wright, a real estate developer with Ivory Company stated. He said a 50 acre tract of land that he hopes to develop near the plant site has already been affected by the suggestion that a large industrial plant might be built nearby. Rick Lifferth, a professional real estate appraiser, supported Mr. Wrights position. He said value in real estate was determined by value in use and by value in trade. I own a lot near the plant site. I can't get market value out of this piece of property because there is a chance the plant might be built. No one living near a plant of this type could get full value out of his home. People living in the area wouldnt be able to get financing for home purchase, Mr. Lifferth stated. lf MR. HARVEY said property values wouldnt be reduced. The citizen response to this comment was loud and very unfavorable. After listening to this discussion, Planning Commission Chairman, Jerry Stevenson, said he would like to read recommendations from city department heads. CITY ATTORNEY Bruce Barton commented he didnt believe the planning commission could legally make a decision on the rezone because the county had failed to pay the required $150 filing fee. The attorney stated the county was not exempt from paying this fee because it was a governing body. Richard Hunt, Parks and Recreation Director, stated he was opposed to the rezone. He stated the Air Force had contacted Layton City about two years ago to see if the city would be interested in acquiring the pond site for a city park. The Air Force surplus properties department told the city the site would be declared surplus property and it would be deeded to Layton City free of charge. Mr. Hunt wants the government to honor this promise. OPPOSITION to the rezone was voiced by the city engineer on the basis that a plant of this nature should be constructed in an industrial area. Fire Chief John H. Adams said he was unable to comment about the safety and fire protection features of the plant because the county had furnished him with no information. He said Layton Citys fire department was called upon frequently to extinguish fires at the land fill site. The same problem could well exist in the dumping pit area of a solid waste recovery plant. TLME, METHOD and location were the three con- cerns mentioned by City Planner, Scott Carter. He stated the time was premature. The method was good. Everyone should be concerned about waste conservation. The location was in violation of the planning process just completed by the city. There were other sites in the city and in the county that are already zoned industrial. Use these sites before rezoning other areas. James McCowan, chairman of District 6 planning division, concurred with Mr. Carters comments. There is only one area in Layton that allows an M-- l zone. That is in the industrial park. Build your plant there. Let industries locate around it, Mr. McCowan stated. HAL HALLETT presented the commission with a petition stating opposition to the plant. It was signed by about 150 Layton residents. Mr. Hallett and Mr. Harris both stated the number of signatures could be increased to include 80 or 90 percent of the people living in Layton. Brent Allen, a member of the planning commission, moved to deny the rezone request. You may have the right project but its the wrong location, said Mr. Allen. PLANNING commission members unanimously agreed. Chairman Jerry Stevenson cited seven reasons for denying the request: first, there were unanswered questions as to how the plant would benefit Layton City; second, the plant was not in conformity with the recently adopted master plan; third, what revenues would be received from the plant was questioned and where would the revenues be used was not clear; fourth, what would the plant do to property values; fifth, what standard would be used to pay the plant tipping fee; sixth, what happened to the promise that the federal government would give the pond site to Layton for a public park and seventh, where would the water come from to operate the plant. THIS IS the first of two rezone hearings that will be 7 the Layton City Council will decide if a public hearing should be set to again listen to the rezone request. If the council sets a hearing, it will probably be Nov. 4. Layton residents fighting the plant oppose a secondary location for the plant just north of the pond site on Hill Air Force Base. If the county does not renounce and abandon plans for a recovery plant at either site near 1000 W. and Highway 193 then the citizens are prepared to enter into a law suit. Robert S. Campbell Jr., a Salt Lake attorney, has been retained by the citizens to fight the plant construction. He will start legal action on Oct. 15 if the plan is not abandoned, dmg held. On Oct. |
