I. 1981 approaching, the question of when East Layton is officially annexed to Layton city becomes important because Jan. I is the day set by law w hen the property tax assessments are made. The status of property county. East Layton or Layton as of Jan. I will determine what tax rate the citizens of East Layton will pay in 1981. THE TAXATION aspect of annexation was brought up last Tuesday evening at the East Layton Council meeting by Councilman Vard Dailey. Mr. Dailey is employed by the Davis County Assessors Office. According to Mr. Dailey there are three possible tax rates that could be applied by the county assessor's office to East Layton residents. tax rate. Taxes in Layton and East Layton are comparable but not exactly the same. The third possibility is that East Layton will be disincorporated but not annexed into Layton city by Jan. I.

He said sometimes people are just late in paying, and other times they need a definite reminder. dis- DlE TO SOME question over the legality of cutting service because of delinquent payment. Mayor Sant said since August I haven't turned off any water. He estimated that between 60 and 70 people per month fail to pay their water bill and ex- -. plained that the city carries, on its records, a list of people at least two months overdue on payments. Of those, the mayor said only six or seven need to have their water com- iuMmsiom, Condos deceive Final Approval IF EAST Layton is still a city as of Jan.

I, they will pay the Layton city Coming To the case, then the people would pay only the county taxes. AAELL DO A survey to see how big a problem it is. Calling the development "a good addition to the city, Clearfield Mayor Donal Townley and the city council gave final approval last week for completion of the Country Village subdivision. DRAINAGE WATER from the development will be chan- neled into holding ponds, according to the developers. Then if the ponds overflow, a system will route the water through a local irrigation companys lines. There was f some concern over the problem during the development's earlier stages. back-u- p run-of- The city councils final approval came out of a recommendation of support from the city planning department. ing was unanimous. 80-17-0 Vot- the Clearfield Planning n recommended approval.

Mr. Starks said was granted by the council. Again. Cable Sunset Mayor SUNSET Norm Sant says local residents can expect to see cable television service in the area by early 1981. THERE WAS some question recently about whether or not Sunset would get the service because of a conflict with Mountain Bell Telephone over although Mr. Clarke and the city have not always agreed on all phases of the planning, their interaction has always been favorable. The city council again gave unanimous approval. mdm pletely shut off. THERE WAS heated discussion over the issue at a late November city council meeting where the mayor disagreed with a majority of the council on what action to take on the problem. Most of the councilmen present said service should be stopped immediately when the payments are delinquent, unless the resident calls and tells someone he is having a problem and that he needs an extension. By '1981 TH power pole The mayor says the conflict over using power pole wires is over and the city can expect service shortly. WE HAVE gotten access to the lines. he said, explaining last week that Wasatch Community Television. Salt Lake City, will be servicing the s. area. Sunset was originally one of the first North Davis County communities to have cable service. The problem with where the lines will go however, either under or above ground, is a major question in several communities which want the service, mdm MAYOR SANT areued that resi there are a l4 of denis who. if they miss payment one lime, should not have their sers ice shut ofT. The long-tim- e council countered wnh an argument that everyone should be treated equally. No decision on the matter was mjde at the meeting, but the ma)or promised to have a survey done to see how much money the city is losing. A LOT OF of people I can call and they respond. Ma or Sant said in an interview last Monday. On the city delinquent list, there are currently seven accounts over $80. he noted. There are another 33 listed whose late payments range from $28.50 to $80. THE MAYOR has learned from the city attorney that it is the city's responsibility to follow up with a letter to delinquent residents before the service is discontinued. Currently, residents receive the first bill, then a second stamped bill with delinquent charges. If there is no response after the second bill. Mayor Sant said the city sends out a follow-u- p letter. Thereafter, if there is no response, the city can legally shut off the residents water. IN ADDITION, the city now requires all water bills sent to apartment house complexes to be put in the apartment owner's name. Mayor Sant said there are too many instances where the renters leave town without paying their water bill, mdm rv Group Opposes Farmington Subdivision By MARK D. MICKELSEN A handFARMINGTON ful of Farmington residents and a Mormon Church lawyer urged the Davis County Commission last week to stop the Charles Clark subdivision near Spring Creek from being built. The small, but angry group complained that the water supply there is already inadequate and that water samples from one of the wells are contaminated with ammonia. DENNIS PETERSEN, an attorney for the Farmington-base- d Mormon stake farm, said the multi-acr- e development of Clarks, on 1800 West and Burke Lane, lies only 50 church-owne- d yards from the facility. He said the church opposes development there for two reasons. First, Spring Creek-- a natural waterway running from the hills nearby, past Interstate 15 may be polluted by additional runoff from the development. And second, g with the portion of the farm so close, the new residents would be exposed to a continual animal odor from the pens. cattle-raisin- ATTY. PETERSEN said Spring Creek is used to irrigate several farms in the area and said none of the fanners want it polluted. "Its the only unpolluted creek in Davis County, the lawyer told the The church and resident farmers are worried that the increased development will force more water into Spring Creek. Mr. Petersen said farmers lose cattle each year to drowning as the waters get higher and higher. IN ADDITION, the church attorney argued that some of the proposed drainage holding ponds for the development would be a danger to small children living in the area. And they are worried that additional pumping from the existing culinary water wells will cause them to go dry. Some of the wells, Atty. Petersen said, are already dry from cattle feeding in the area. HE SAID tests conducted on water samples from one of the wells show conditions. A high ammonia content was discovered in the water, said Petersen, who explained that such conditions show evidence of animal waste and, or sewage leakage. THE CHURCH is hauling in drinking water because they dont want the farmers drinking it, Atty. Petersen said. Another man in the audi- ence, however, told the lawyer that ammonia in the water can come from a number of sources. He also said there are currently only limited mandatory standards on the materials that are in the water. WELL ALL be hurt from this one way or the other. Atty. Petersen said, urging the commission to stop the development before any real problems surface. Another resident, opposed to the development, said when the well on Clarks subdivision is opened up and starts pumping. the existing residences will lose water. SHE SAID drinking water in the area is already poor and expressed concern that the existing water supply will go dry if the subdivision goes in. Another man said the access road going into the area is in poor shape. the churchs concern over Spring Creek, Atty. Petersen said Mr. Clark "will be the last one hurt, because he will sell the lots and thats the last well see of Mr. Clark." Mr. Clark sat silently facing the county commissioners. He did not respond. ALBERT COLE, Davis County planning director, told the group Tuesday that Mr. Clark had originally asked for approval for the development in 1976. In 1979, Mr. Cole said Clark came before the plan- sayso over the use of water.' Com. Mdrris Swapp said Mr. Clark owns the land and therefore can build on it. handled by installing holding ponds. He noted that similar systems have worked throughout the county. MR. CLARK also asked the county commission to reduce-thnumber of lots to four, the largest lot being about two and acres in size. Glen Austin, Davis County Surveyor, said runoff from the development, mostly oil, salt arid asphalt debris, could go into Spring Creek. He said the biggest problem would be silta-tio- n from the construction running into the creek. COM. SW APP said if the storm drainage problem is e three-fourt- It was pointed out at the meeting that Mr. Clark has water rights to the area to build a well and pump from that well. ning commission with an approved plan for development of nine lots. At that time, the planning commission told Clark to meet certain conditions the most serious of v hich was the implementation of a drainage system for the properties. At Tuesday's meeting, Mr. Clark said the drainage and storm water for the lots can be . COM. GLEN Flint told the gathering that because of this, the county has little or no satisfactorily taken care of, theres nothing the county can do to stop the development. Com. Flint motioned to take the issue under advisement until a storm drainage plan is okayed. The other commis- sioners agreed. - |
