MR. BRADSHAW said developers in the past have promised certain things to the residents of the area, then failed to carry them through, and he and the others argued that Clearfield has provided more starter homes than anywhere else in the county. We feel like the master idea of the residents along Main Street is not to keep the younger buyers out, but to provide some room for some more bigger, nicer homes. MR. BARDSHAW challenged Southwoods planners for not wanting to include larger lots and homes in the subdivision, but one of Mr. Barlows representatives, Larry Butters, countered with the fact that communities like Fruit Heights and East Layton Jaycee Beards The Layton Junior Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a beard growing and grooming contest to start Feb.

Mr. Bradshaw again argued that there is still a market for larger homes. BUT WITH regard to the things promised by past developers, Mr. Butters made some corrections. First, he said, developers have to know the zoning before any protective convenants can be set up for the residents. Of the 169 lots included in the proposed subdivision, the city council agreed to rezone those in the former agricultural zone to residential, but voted unanimously to leave those lots adjacent to Main Street for larger lots and home construction.
