Show Roxborough Phase WO f Access Issue Delays THf ubdmsiomi Dedsiomi WEST VALLEY. Access problems prompted the City Planning Commission here Thursday to continue exploration of a subdivision application for 4485 So. 2900 West. Proposed access routes into and out of Roxborough Phase III drew opposition from residents during the morning meeting of the commission. Although one access road has been selected, the city requires two, according to planning staff member Craig Hinckley. Two possible routes have been suggested, but both have met with strong opposition. One is to enter and exit through West Cove Drive, which would require making it a dedicated street. But according to Hinckley, West Cove residents are opposed to dedicating the street and dont want an access through there. The other proposed route is through Roxboroughs Phase I, but residents there object to that proposal also. Phase I resident Steven Martin, 4443 So. Roxborough, told the commission that residents were concerned over how Phase III will be developed, the traffic congestion and the noise. Martin suggested that a single boulevard, rather than the required two access roads, be used. Another resident, Bill Ruesch, 2864 W. Roxborough, said the commission should consider putting in the second access road across state land. With the Phase III land surrounded by private and state land, and with only one for the area, Commissioner Carroll Elford called the proposed spot landlockright-of-wa- y ed. Robert Taylor, agent for the developer, agreed with Elford. Weve been backed voice OF kvisr vAitey USPS into a corner by and now were our predecessors, stuck trying to resolve the problem, Taylor said. Were open for any suggestions. Kent Ekstrom, who was at the meeting for a different planning matter, suggested an asphalt park with crash barriers might be constructed between Phases I and III. The barriers could then be removed in an emergency, satisfying the need for a second access. However, after the meeting planning staff member Keith Hooper said the crash barrier proposal might not work, since the second access is not intended for emergency use only. The city requires two access points for good traffic circulation. With many of the questions of access still unresolved, the commission voted to continue studying the matter. city 656 380 EMznxsrmm Published weekly at 155 E 4905 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84107 Second class postage paid at Salt Lake City, UT 84119 Subscrip tion rate $12 00 per year POSTMASTER Send address changes to West Valley View, Box 7187, Salt Lake City, UT 84107 Volume 29, Number 35 Thursday, Sept. 15, 1983 All departments 262 6682 2700 South, 4000 West Council Nixes Street Plan WEST VALLEY. A request for revision of the citys major street plan for 2700 South and 4000 West was denied by the City Council here Thursday night. Hank Rothwell, agent for the owners of the industrial-residentidevelopment in the area, was denied a reduction in the rights-of-wa- y for the two streets. The two stretches of the planned roads in question are 2700 South between 3600 and 5600 West, and 4000 West between 2700 and 3100 South. Currently, 2700 South is wide designated as a boulevard with residential areas to the south and an industrial development to the north. The other 4000 W'est, is a proposed wide street traversing the proposed residential area. Rothwell asked the city to reduce y on 2700 South to 80 the feet, citing economic factors as the reason for the reduction. y would Although the be narrower, Rothwell said the traffic-carryin- g capacity of the road would not be reduced. Aesthetically, its not the same street, he said. But the city has said it wont pay for the maintenance, and we cant afford it. Some council members seemed ready to approve the street width developers agreed to an acceptable placing of houses along 2700 South. Councilman Brent Anderson sympathized with Rothwell, saying it concerned him that Rothwell had previously done all the council told him to do to get approval and then we give him different ground rules. He can spend his entire lifetime going between the Planning Commission and the City Council. Anderson made a motion to approve the reduction only after an agreement had been reached between the city and the developer to configure the houses in a way agreed upon by the council and to agree to all the council had discussed in the meeting. in favor of the The vote was motion, but because two councilmen were absent, it was not a majority. Bunkall and Claude Jones voted against the motion. The council also voted against reducing 4000 West from 80 to 66 feet.

Of major concern to the council has been the lack of landscaping between the road and the residential property, plus the placement of houses along 2700 South.

A rezoning request denied by the City Planning Commission last month will come before the City Council here next week in the form of an appeal. Lynwood Development Co., denied a rezoning request at a Planning Commission meeting on Aug. 25, is seeking a hearing with the council. The matter was aired during a study session of the council Tuesday. The developers are seeking an zoning (twin homes on minimum 4,000 square foot lots) to build 12 twin homes on 3.2 acres at 3663 So. 5600 West. The current zoning is 1 (single (agricultural) and 8 family homes on 8,000 square foot allows five units per lots). 8 acre, while 4 permits up to 12 units per acre.

The IRB will allow the company to use the citys name to get a lower interest rate on a loan. Council members expressed their desire to cooperate and see the company expand in the city. I think youll find the council very agreeable on the matter, Mayor Jerry Maloney told company representatives. The citys master plan was also studied during the meeting. Although the council denied a request Thursday to reduce 2700 South from 150 to 80 feet, the matter was brought up again. Developers have requested the reduction, taking out Developers cited economic reasons for the requested rezoning. They claim it is economically unfeasible to develop the area as currently zoned. Council members referred to some of the residents objections, including fears of a domino effect the higher density of homes might spread into neighboring areas. The council will vote Thursday on whether or not to hear the appeal. At Tuesdays meeting, the council also listened to a request for an industrial revenue bond. Representatives from James Benefits, now owned by Corporation, are seeking an IRB to expand operations and construct new buildings in Decker Lake industrial park.

The council decided to take more time to look at the matter and asked staff members to have sketches drawn on alternatives. The council will then meet with the Planning Commission to study the matter. Other items discussed by the council include the development of parks in the master plan and an ordinance to amend the major street plan. An amendment to flair the intersections on 3200 West was passed by resolution, but in a legal clarification, council members were informed the amendment must be approved by an ordinance, not a resolution. by Jim Cornwell ical errors.

After a revival of Infantile commerce slowly creeped into Europe, merchants appeared. Some were sitters and some were drifters. They roamed from town to town exposing themselves and organized big fairies in the coun- tryside. Mideval people were violent. Murder during this period was nothing. Everybody killed someone. "The Crusades were a series of military expaditions made by I Christians seeking to free the holy land (the Home Town of Christ) from the Islams. In the 1400 hundreds most Englishmen were perpendicular. A class of yeowls arose. Finally, Europe caught the Black Death. The bubonic plague is a social disease in the sense that it can be transmitted by intercourse and other etceteras. It was spread from port to port by infected rats. Victims of the Black Death grew boobs on their necks. The plague also helped the emergence of the English language as the national language of England, France and Italy. "The renasence bolted in from the blue. Life reeked with joy. Italy became robust and more individuals felt the value of their human being. Italy, of course, was much closer to the rest of the world, thanks to northern Europe. The Reformnation happened when German nobles resented the Idea that tithes were going to Papal France or the Pope thus enriching Catholic coiffures. An angry Martin Luther nailed 95 theocrats to a church door. Theologically, Luther was into reorientation mutation. Cal- vinism was the most convenient religion since the days of the ancients. Anabaptist services tended to be migratory. The Popes, of course, were usually Catholic. The last Jesuit priest died in the 19th century. Vaulting forward several decades, the narrative to which many students unwittingly contributed reached the French Revolution. Taxation was a great drain on the state budget, it continued. The French revolution was accomplished before it happened. The revolution evolved through monarchial, republican and tolarian phases until it catapulted into Napoleon. Napoleon was 111 with bladder problems and was very tense and unrestrainted. No European history would be complete without a word or two about more recent events, so we jump forward to when: World War I broke out around Germany was on one side of France and Russia was on the other. At war people get killed and they arent people anymore, but friends. 1912-191- - Peace was proclaimed at Ver-sigwhich was attended by George Loid, Primal Minister of England. President Wilson arrived with 14 pointers. In 1937 Lenin revolted Russia. Communism raged among the peasants and the civil war team colours were red and white. Germany was displaced after WWI. This gave rise to Hitler. Germany was morbidly overexcited and unbalanced. Berlin became the decadent capital, where all forms of sexual deprivations were practised. A huge movement arose. Attractive slogans like Death to all Jews were used by governmental groups. Hitler remilitarized the Rineland over a squirmish between Germany and France. Mooscalini rested his founon eight million bayonets and invaded Hi Lee dations Salasy. Germany invaded Poland, France invaded Belgium and Russia invaded everybody. Wars screeched to an end when a nukuleer explosion was dropped on Heroshima. A whole generation had been wipe out in two world wars, and their forlome families were left to pick up the peaces. According to Fromm, began historically in medieval times. This was a period of small childhood. There as is increasing experience adolescense experiences its life development. The last stage is us.
