Show "I Neighbors Challenge - Property Sale Flap Highlights Session GRANITE PARK. Should Granite District be involved in the zoning process when selling surplus properties? That question and all of its philosophical quandaries came to a head Tuesday night at a meeting of the Granite Board of Education. While only two board members actually took a stand on the philosophical issues, the board found itself in the middle of a School neighborhood squabble related directly to property being sold by the district. Miriam Farnsworth said it is her feeling that the district should take every possible legal step to make certain that it gets the highest and best dollar for property. She called it part of the public trust. Joyce Higashi looked at the matter differently. I think we owe the community an opportunity to be involved in what is going to happen to property. She urged working with community councils and selling property as zoned. She pointed out that much of the property being sold was acquired through condemnation proceedings or threats of same. The community, represented by the newly revived Cottonwood, Inc., is involved. Residents there are angry that they have to protect their property rights at personal expense from the entity to which they pay the County To Pick Up Yule Trees Salt Lake County MIDVALE. sanitation workers based here plan to pick up Christmas trees as part of the regular garbage collection service during January. Isabel Widerberg, secretary to the director of sanitation in the County Public Works Department, said residents in the unincorporated county should cut the trees into four-folengths and trim the trees smaller if they are bushy. greatest share of their taxes. Speaking on behalf of the residents Tuesday were Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Madsen, Community Council representative Roberta Elder and State Rep. Donna Dahl. Mrs. Dahl suggested that the State Legislature has some concerns about how Granite handles its land sales and she charged that the district purchased two homes to add to the package of this particular piece of property to enhance the value. She suggested that the district, being party to the planning and zoning process, puts undue pressure on the planning commission and that the outright purchase of property is unfair competition with private enterprise. The land is located at 6300 So. 2300 East. An earlier attempt to have a planned unit development approved by county planners was nixed. The county would not approve a roadway through to 6200 South, saying that access must be from 2300 East. That was a battle won by the residents, but they are concerned that something might happen to change that and are asking that the h developer deed a strip of property along the north property line or that the district retain that amount of land to preclude a road from ever being built. Charges and countercharges between representatives of Tivco Properties and the residents flew back and forth Tuesday. The matter was finally tabled with the suggestion that the developer and the residents work out a plan. At its next meeting the board is expected to take up the matter of the land sale again. The property was taken in the late Fifties and has been on the market for nine years. The total purchase of six-inc- fer is $837,000, $62,000 per acre. In other action Tuesday, the board unanimously approved a policy statement relating to encouraging appropriate shared usage. Related to that, the board learned that there is a distinct possibility Home Builders Rite Is Held students will be moved into Granite schools on the east side to relieve serious overcrowding in that area. The board also approved polling places and financial consultants for its bond election on Feb. 15.

Planning Director Joe Moore warned that the ordinance should not be worded to encourage businesses in garages, in part because that would be a step toward altering the residential character of the neighborhood. Sales from the home are allowed but not encouraged. The area of the home occupation cannot be more than 25 percent of the building; the commission knocked out a clause limiting the total area to 300 square feet since that would adversely effect larger homes. People outside the immediate family may not be employed in a home occupation, deliveries may not take more than two hours and there shall be no advertising - through exterior window displays or evidence. Home occupations may not interfere with neighbors electrical reception. Professional occupations, such as insurance and real estate offices, may operate out of the home upon review by the commission, the ordinance added. -- Hope Bettilyon, founder of the Home - WEST VALLEY. As it turned out, the revised home occupation ordinance is one page long. Just eight paragraphs. But for the last several months, no issue - not even the Doug Jackson case - has prompted such adamant and sometimes bitter exchanges as did the City Planning Commissions endorsement of a revised ordinance. The planning staff originally submitted a revised version in order to expand the criteria for receiving a home occupation permit. This was a staff member Kevin response, Hooper said, to the growing number of home occupation applications, apparently a byproduct of the struggling economy. But for commission member Ivan Woodbury, the liberalized versions discussed at several meetings were hardly liberal enough. In his view, they were far too restrictive and infringed on peoples constitutional rights. Why do we want to give our freedoms away in an ordinance like this, questioned Woodbury, who at one point in Tuesdays final hearing, accused other commission members of tyrannical and dictatorial behavior. Despite Woodburys vehement protests, the commission made several changes in a paragraph-byparagrapreview of the ordinance and endorsed a version which will be sent to the City Council for final approval. He had called for a continuance for further study, but his motion was rejected by a 3 vote. The majority of the commission felt the issue had been discussed at great length and didnt warrant more delays. As endorsed, the ordinance said home occupations shall be con sworn into office in ceremonies at the Cottonwood club. Joining the Sharon Mrs. Kenneth h (Sandra) Martin, historian.
