By a 3-2 vote, Boyd Wilson was denied a zone change from R-1-40, to 42 acre building lots on seven acres located at 4840 W. 11000 N. for 121 homesites. Also denied by a 3-2 vote for ¥2 acre lots were James Larsen and Clair Wright on four acres at 10460 N. 4800 W. Councilmen LaMond Tullis, Ronald Lafferty and newly appointed Gladys Clark voted against the ¥% acre zone change requests with Councilmen Eric Adamson and Dennis Horan voting for the Wilson, Wright and Larsen Subdivision requests. Mayor Donald LeBaron was out of town but because Highland is a third class city, Mayor LeBaron could not have voted onthe issue. Council unanimously denied Fred G. Jensen's request for Ye acre home sites on eight acres at N. 6000 W. and Scoit Barrett's % acre proposal on aa acres at 10750 N. 6400 | Raney talked with a great number of People in Highland,” said CouncilmanTullis, ‘and I am reasonably convinced that the life styles between R-1-40 and R-1-20 are not compatible.”’ Councilman Tullis told the council that the greatest danger in granting the zone change Tequests wasin spot zon- ing. “I have researched othercities and in no case I've comeacrosshas spot zoning served anycities well,” said Councilman Tullis. ‘‘Maybe it does but I did notfind a case Spot zoning asa principle sets into motion events that can never be retrieved. Nowis not the time to spot zone in Highland.” In explaining his decision to vote against ‘2 acre density lots, Councilman Lafferty said that he had promised in his A representative of the U. S. Railroad Retirement Board will be in the Provo area on Monday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m Hewill be located at the Utah State Employment Security office at 190 W 800 N., Provo campaign that he would do so. Councilwoman Clark expressed concern about what rapid growth would do to the city. “Already our new schoolis full to capacity and yet more and more children are cominginto the area,"’ said Councilwoman Clark. “I was born and raised on one acre in American Fork close to town. It was a good lifestyle.” Councilman Horan agreed that one acrelots should be encouraged because semi-ruralresidents would put up with no street lights and chuckholes in the road whereas too manypeople on smaller lots would require more city services which would increase taxes. “Professional planners advise that one acre lots are a bad idea, however,’ said Councilman Horan.‘‘I believe that Planned Unit Developments are a good alternative. The common area could even be developed if the need and desire arose. With regards to these zone change requests, I think they should be decided on a case by case basis.” Eric Adamson, serving as acting mayor for LARRY RHODES Donald LeBaron, said he too wanted to see more Planned Unit Developments over having a set policy of one acre density lots required throughout the entirecity. “We need to consider each individual zone change request,’ he said “The overall impact on the town and the desires of residents in the area should be the determining factors."” Larry Rhodes, spokesman for residents of Greenland Acres in which 18 neighbors objected to a 22-acre zone change request, said he was pleased with the council's decision because he felt that 42 acrelotsin the city would set a precedent for other developers. Yet Mr. Wright, whose four acre development was turned down, expressed disappointment. “No neighbors in the area were against our Crestwood Pool, began returning to their homes about an hour anda half after the first reports of the leak.
