Orem Will Seek Court Removal Of Stores’ Fence By DAWN TRACY Herald Staff Writer OremCitynot only is seeking a court order for removal of a controversial fence separating two of its busiest shoppingareas, butit also is reviewing the licensesof all businesses involved to see if they meet police andfire access requirements. The fence which separates the Grand Central Shopping Center from the Parkway Center in Orem has irked shoppers and businessmenalike since it was put up early Friday. “We have taken legal action against John Price Associates Inc., which is the company who ownsthe property where the fence was erected, because no site plan was approved and no building permit was issued before the fence wasinstalled,’ says Orem City ManagerDaryl Berlin. “And because nobuilding permit was issued, we're also going after the license of the contractor whoinstalled the fence.” Berlin says because the fence may be impedingproperfire and police access for the tenants of both the Grand Central Shopping Plaza and the Parkway Center, every business license in the area will be reviewed to makesurelicenses now are complying with city safety ordinances. “‘Our switchboard has been overloaded with calls from irate customers,”’ says Grand Central Vice President of Finance Dick Chapin. “Contrary to what people think, we did notinstall the fence. We are very distressedthe fenceis there.’ Chapin says the fence wasinstalled because of a dispute between Grand Central Plaza developer John Price Associates and the Woodbury Corp., developers of the Parkway Center. Steve Bogden,vice president of John Price Associates, says he is aware that the Orem Grand Centralstore is one of the busiest in the company’s chain, and Grand Centralofficials are not happy about the fence. “We simply exercised our right as property ownersto install a fence that wasalreadythere, once,”’ says Bogden. “People were able to get into Grand they should be able to get there now, too.” Bogden says the fence will remain until Woodbury Corp., enters into an eazement agreement with John Price Associates. ‘‘Mr. Price asked that we give him $300,000 to pay for a traffic easement,” says Wally Woodbury, chairman of Woodbury Corp. ‘The proposal was later changed to a cash payment of $100,000 or $17,692.48 annually. We will not pay any substantial amount of money for an easement. We already have an agreement with Orem City.”’ Bogden says his company will remainfirm in insisting the fencewill not be torn downuntil the dispute is settled. “The fence is going to stay,” says Bogden. ‘‘We certainly did not put up the fence just to take it down again.” Mountain Wilderness Study area, according to Bureau of Land Managementofficials.

(UPI) — The administration is trying to reassure wor- ried county officials that its proposed shift of programs away from Washington will be accompanied by new sources of revenue for local governments. But someofficials attending the annual convention of the National As: sociation of Counties are concerned the added responsibilities brought on by President Reagan's ‘‘New Federalism” will mean a need for higher local taxes.

Lee to be Solicitor Generalof the United States. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) predicted Lee would be easily con- DEAN REX E. LEE firmed by the full Senate, and he said the matter may reach the Senatefloor by the endof this week. “T think the arguments that have been made against Dean Lee are basically spurious,” Hatch told his Judiciary Committee colleagues before the motion to approve Lee's nomination was passed without objection. Several women’s rights groups have fought Lee’s nomination because of his opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment. But no senator has stepped forward to lead a floorfight against the Provoresilent. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass. ) closely questioned Lee on the ERA at a previous Judiciary Committee hearing, but Hatch said he doubted Kennedy will challenge Lee. Ken- nedy aides familiar with the issue werenot available for commentthis morning. Sen. Max Baucus (D-Iont.) said in a statementthat he opposes Lee's stand on the ERAand on manyother issues. However, ‘I am confident that his religious and personal views on any matter, including the Equal Rights Amendment, would have no bearingonthelegalpositions that he represents,"’ Baucus said, adding that he supports Lee's nomination to the post. The solicitor general represents the federal government before the SupremeCourt and can have a large influence on the court.
