Single-famil- lem THE HOMES will be a minimum of 960 square feet on the main floor with approximately 11.6 units per acre . This is less density than the city's building code of 15 units per acre maximum allows. Mr. Wright said the subdivision promises to provide a much better neighborhood s than a group of would. JIM ARLAND, a member of the city planning commission, said the commission has reservations about approving the project due to the poor access. He noted the commission is happy with what Mr. Wright is CURRENTLY, only one major road goes through the multi-acr- e development, and city officials are worried that the access into the proposed homes would be somewhat crowded during peak traffic hours. Developer Gary Wright told the city council Tuesday an additional access road onto 300 North St. is planned, but could give no definite description on the proposal. four-plexe- EVENTUALLY, the subdivision will consist of both single and multiple-famil- y dwellings, but as Mr. Wright said, development of the singular homes will be done first. The developers approached the city council Tuesday to obtain approval for a Planned Unit Development overlay for board. doing, but will not make any decision until traffic problems at the 300 North intersection are solved. Councilman Neldon Hamblin explained that a similar access problem in the Val Halla area resulted in limited fire exit protection for some of the residents there. IM NOT going to come back to this group until the access problem is solved, Mr. Wright told the councilman. But if Im going to hold the property and develop it, Ive he got to do added. MR. WRIGHT, having received the PUD overlay, must now meet with the planning n commission on the final ACTING ON a complaint from Librarian Jeanne Layton that the bricks in the entrance way are constantly dirty and t.hat the floor desperately needs covering, the board agreed to allocate $1200 to renovate the area. The white bricks, which Ms. Layton claim encourage graffiti, will be painted, and the floor will be carpeted. THE IDEA of the project, according to the board, is to make the library more appealing to local residents. $1300. IN AN employee-relate- d matter, Ms. Layton told the board that county library workers will no longer get raises or merit increases based entirely on the amount of time they have worked. She said the increases will now be calculated partly on performance, and partly on the period of time worked. She noted the employees dont have to have a superior ranking, but said they cant have a below average performance record either and still expect to receive raises. IN OTHER business, the library board has agreed to keep the libraries open from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m., Dec. 24th. In discussing the holiday schedules for 1981, the board has agreed to continue closing the libraries on Saturday w hen a holiday falls on either a Fri- day or Monday. There are approximately 12 days during the coming year when the libraries will close under those circumstances. ACCORDING TO to Ms. Layton, some students in the area have asked that the libraries stay open until p.m. And some of the local housewives want the libraries open earlier in the morning. The chances of any time change before the next county budget year are slim, as the library board learned Monday. Com. Morris Swapp said the budgets have already been set 1 1 there is very litand noted tle money for additional hours and added provisions. BOARD Chairman Evan Whitesides asked Librarian Layton to keep track of citizen complaints about the time schedules. The problems, he said, will be looked at considerably at the end of the budget year. The current library hours are Monday through Thursday, from 12:30 to 9 p.m. Fridays, from 12:30to5p.m..and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Logical?

BILL J. Grayson, 13, of 544 Powell Ave., Centerville, was reported by Nevada authorities as one of three persons killed when their e plane crashed about 25 miles southwest of Battle Mountain, Nev., Christmas Eve. The Grayson youth and a couple believed to be his aunt and uncle, from Salt Lake City, were aboard the plane that crashed about 6:45 p.m. after the pilot, David K. Colcord, radioed a mayday message. the subdivision area. This allows the planners to design the area for PUD accommodations. WHILE THE council agreed to that proposal, they reiterated the need for additional access roads and adequate sewer disposal facilities. Developer Wright assured the group that both problems must be taken care of. He explained that he has already acy easequired a ment from one of the nearby residents to be used in the routing design of a sewer system for the development.

Ernest Eberhard learned that some of the companies had called the county clerks office for more information about the coverage. This led the commission to believe that the premium specifications may not have been the same for the companies who sent in bids, thus making the bid opening unfair to some of those involved. THE TUESDAY bids ranged from $5 1 ,000 to over $ 00,000, based on the countys request for general liability and accident coverage for the vehicles. A low bid of $51,201 was submitted by Barlow Insurance, followed by the Fred H. Schroeder Insurance Co. at $54,883. The Fred S.

WHILE NONE of the insurance agents present objected to the fact that some of the companies had called for information, County Clerk Rodney county may have to make certain adjustments to get the full amount of coverage needed. He said some of the county d vehicles need only be off-roa- covered for fire and theft damage. COM. EBERHARD said he did not knew if the county should accept the bids when the specifications were different for each company. Com. Morris Swapp noted that if there were any objec- tions after the bids were opened, the bids would have to be redone. AFTER THE bid opening, however, none of the insurance company representatives present complained about the outcome. Sheriff Brant Johnson urged the commission to meet with him to make sure the county liability insurance was not being duplicated in the Sheriff s department. He noted that his department was planning similar coverage for liability. BASED ON the sheriffs recommendation and the fact that the bidding may have been unfair, Com.

Arraignment Is Delayed FARMINGTON A Clinton youth was scheduled to enter a plea Tuesday in Second District Court, Farmington, on three felony charges in connection with the strangulation death of a girl last August. JOHN P. Miller Jr., the suspect in the death, was to have entered a plea last week but a delay was granted at the request of the defendants attorney, Tom Jones, of Ogden, who said the youth needed more time. The youth is accused of criminal homicide, kidnapping and forcible sexual assault on Anne Hoskisson, of Clinton, whose body was found by a search party last Aug. 6 in the closet of an abandoned building near her home. MEANWHILE, Atty.
