THE PROPOSAL by the Davis County Housing Authority was met with bitter opposition by about 40 residents of the area who said they did not favor the complex and opposed the rezoning proposal.

She noted that the site was chosen based on a criteria established by the federal Housing and Urban Development (P'JD) which requires that the housing development for the elderly be located near a shopping center, near a pharmacy, and close to a regular bus route. PRESENTLY, the citys Residential-- 3 zoning allows up to 10 units per acre and a variance would be necessary to allow the proposed 48 units to be built on the 3.6 acres, it was explained. One resident, Evan Jones, said he had heard a rumor that the sale of the land was a political move and that the city government was paying too much for the property. HOWEVER, Mrs. Davis said the $55,000 per acre offered for the land is far less than the asking price for similar property County Housing Authority. Mrs. Davis said several parcels of land were proposed but that they were either too expensive or did not meet the HUD criteria.

MRS. DAVIS noted that the authority project is designed for 52 residents with no more than 24 cars. If this same property was to be converted to singlefamily homes it would result in about 85 residents in 17 homes with an average of two cars per home. She said there are nearly 150 elderly persons already on the waiting list if the development is approved.

"Let me tell you that there is federal money to be had, whether you approve of federal funding or not, said Comm. Ernest Eberhard. Lets put a man on these sources of federal funds and see what happens over the next six months. COMM. MORRIS F. Swapp added that the county, like all other governmental entities, must rely on a source of money other than local taxes and federal funds are a darn good source.
