MICKELSEN tely-owned The Davis County FARMINGTON Commission voted Tuesday to amend the countys home occupation, overnight parking, child day care center and native material removal ordinances. THE COMMISSIONS unanimous okay came after a short public hearing in which planning commission members pinpointed the changes and recommended approval. Under the revised home occupation ordinance, business license applicants will be required to make application to the Davis County planning director, rather than the planning commission. Final approval for the license will be decided by the planning director. A lone toddler entertains herself in the driveway of a home in Melanie Acres.

MICKELSEN council recognized the need for a park in the south end." but. you really ought to finish a park before you start a new - ChilCLEARFIELD dren, children everywhere, one." but no place to play. THATS THE complaint from nearly 200 residents of the Melanie Acres Subdivision. Angered by the city's neglect in building more south Clearfield parks, homeowners submitted a signed petition to the city council Tuesday night demanding a change. "It has come to our attention that the city has appropriated over S5 .000 to be used on Steed Park," said Cal Riley, one of several Melanie Acres residents in attendance. Hoisting a petition with 182 signatures. he said the (Melanie Acres) residents are opposed to any further Steed Park expenditures and would rather the money be used for a park and playground in the city's south end. "As far as the $50,000 being spent on Steed Park, that is backed by BOR (Bureau of Outdoor Recreation) funds," City Manager Gayle Starks said. He said Clearfield matches the BOR money dollar for dollar and w ill lose the $50,000 if the Steed Park plans are not completed. MAYOR TOWNLEY, tioned the city council Tuesday and asked for some kind of outdoor park in the area. however, promised Riley that the city will set up a time schedule for park construction in the south end of Clearfield by fall. The mayor said construction cannot possibly begin before then. Mr. Starks assured Melanie residents that the city's parks and recreation people are moving toward increased involvement in south Clearfield. funds for the project. He admitted the city has actively pursued development of Steed Park for the past three years and said, "altogether, you're looking at close to of a million dollards for (development) Steed Park," MR. STARKS told concerned property owners that park impact fees, charged residents on a yearly basis, have been collected in all parts of Clearfield and must ultimately be used for the creation of new park facilities. MAYOR TOWNLEY said once the property for the park is "locked dow n." the city w ill be able to get additional BOR 1 councilmemhers. and more "The city already maintains four parks in the area of north Clearfield. Riley com-plaine- d. He noted that only the Fisher Park is available to south end residents and that park is some three miles away from Melanie Acres. IV ORDER to go to the nearest parks." Riley saiJ children are forced to cross Antelope Drive, a busy and potentially dangerous traffic intersection. Clearfield city owns appro- ximately 4.2 acres to the south land Melanie homeowners say coulj be developed into a park. Mayor Donal Tow nicy disagreed somewhat. He saiJ the arej around Melanie Acres is growing so fast, the city shoulJ consider an even larger park in order to atcommodaie the residents. "I'M SIRE that this kiiyl Mayor Townley again stressed the fact that it might be more advantageous for the city to obtain a larger piece of land for the park, rather than settle for the 4.2 acres. IN THE meantime, Mr. Riley asked if residents might be allowed to build a temporary park on the property. "I wouldn't have any objections." Mayor Townley said. Mr. Starks agreed and invited Riley to meet with Clearfield's parks and recreation people to set up tentative plans for the park.
