Show At Large Seat Up For Grabs In Primary - Eight Vying For One Seat n City Council represented about 17 percent of the eligible voters. With far fewer candidates to attract voters to the primary next week, the turnout could be much closer to 10 percent of those eligible. The County Election Division indicated that about 31,700 persons will be eligible to vote next week, leading even the most optimistic observers to anticpate little more than 3,000 to cast ballots Tuesday. No primary is necessary in the races for District 1 and District 3 City Council seats, with only two candidates running in each case. Advancing to the general election in District 1 are Leland DeLange and A. Glenn Christensen, while in District 3, incumbent Quentin (Pete) Winder is being challenged by Sylvan Crofts. Although nine persons had initially filed for the at large post, Ron Day of Hunter has withdrawn, leaving eight on the ballot. One of them, Mike Embley, was successful two years ago in winning election to the District 1 seat. He is currently on leave of absence while handling the duties of acting County Treasurer. Embley, 2584 Dublin to his Dr., did not seek District 1 seat. WEST VALLEY. Featuring just one race, next week's primary election is expected to generate comparatively little activity at the citys 33 polling places. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, with absentee ballots being accepted only until the day before the election. See The Candidates Are ing," Section B.

One will be selected to occupy the two-yeat large seat on the City Counthe cil.

PREPARED . . . Cory Mormis, developer of the proposed Sunburst apartment complex, refers to a At City Planning Commission THE VOICE OF WCST VALLEY CITY UTAH - Proposed Apartments Draw Homeowner Opposition WEST VALLEY. A proposed zon- ing amendment change that could clear the way for construction of a apartment complex at 4000 So. Redwood Road drew the opposition of area residents here Thursday in the form of an peti437-un- it tion. The petition was submitted by one of the residents at a public hearing held during a meeting of the County Planning Commission. ' The author of the petition, Suzanne Wouden, whose back yard would border the proposed project, told the commission that the new apartments would infringe upon the rights of homeowners in the area. We bought our homes in order to enjoy and advantages liv- the rights associated with ing, she said. Construction of this high number of apartment units would violate many of those rights, as well as possibly decrease the value of our homes. Empire West Co., developer of the project, is seeking to change the zoning of the area from its existing R--l and 2 commercial status, to an status. They are also seeking permission to build 27 units per acre on the lot, considerably more than the 20 units per acre limit. Cary Marmis, a principal in Empire West, told the commission that to one acre ratio is not exthe cessive, due to the fact that all of the units will be either studio or apartments. We have a 37 units per acre project in Arizona, which has never had a problem, he added. The homeowners who filed the petition, however, disagreed with Marmis assessment, arguing that such a sudden increase in population would put a strain on public utilities and add to existing traffic problems in the area.

The visit was rather brief they were leaving for New York. - Actually, only parts of that are true. We didnt go to Kentucky specifically to visit with the jazz trumpeter and the retired Cardinal baseball player. But we did chat with it them; wasnt for long and they were leaving to see a horse race in New York state. Looavil, we learned after we arrived there, is how the natives pronounce what Utahns call Louisville - the home of Muham-me- d Ali and those baseball bats kids of our generation remember V, and announced that worried residents are welcome to tour a similar development in Phoenix, at Empire Wests expense. ' ' Several commission members flew to Phoenix and took the tour yesterday, a fact that drew the dissaproval of area resident Fern Hansen. Maybe the commission should include a trip to 4100 South Redwood Road in their itinerary, she said. They could watch my kids walk home from school on streets with no sidewalks. The construction of this new apartment complex will only add to an already dangerous situation, she stated. One resident of the area who took the Empire West tour told the commission he was impressed with what he saw in Phoenix. "The property I viewed was the cleanest, best managed property of this kind Ive ever seen, he said. I dont know whether or not we have a need for more apartments in our area, but if we get more, these are the ones we should get. They would set an example future developers could follow, he added. The matter will go before the commission again in two weeks, at which time a decision should be reached on whether to recommend the plan to the City Council.

Volume 29, Number 37 Thursday, Sept. 29, 1983 All Between 3600 and 5600 West departments 262 6682 - City Council Approves Reduced Width On 27th f WEST VALLEY. the request After denying several times in previous meetings, the City Council here Thursday approved a major street plan amendment to narrow a proposed section of 2700 South from 150 to 80 feet. The proposal approved will reduce y of a section of 2700 the South, now only in the planning stage, between 3600 and 5600 West. Originally the master street plan called for 2700 South to be a divided boulevard, with landscaping on both sides and a berm in the middle. However, in recent weeks the owners of Westlakes project (which is the investment arm of the LDS church, according to a city official) have claimed that economic factors make it almost impossible to build such a boulevard. Hank Rothwell, agent for the industrial-residentidevelopment in the area, has been seeking the change but to no avail -until Thursday. The council felt most of the problems had been or could be worked out, and voted unanimously to approve the reduction of width, subject to several conditions. One area which concerned council members was the method for screening the residential property to the south of the road. Particularly of concern was the placement of homes along 2700 South. A number of proposals was presented to the council at the Sept. 20 study session, inwith cluding the use of homes on the end backing either the side yards or the back yards to 2700 South. Another reservation council members had about reducing the width of the street is the possibility of locking y in the at 80 feet. Although Rothwell said the trafficcarrying capacity of the roadway would not be reduced, the removal of right-of-wa- right-of-wa- berms and landscaping would Tpre-vefuture expansion. Several council members were especially worried about this in the event the proposed West Valley Highway should end at 2700 South, bringing increased traffic with no place to expand. As a result of these concerns, the council will require the developers to work with the city to meet the nt councils expectations of land- scaping and home placement to the south of the street. In addition, a easement will be retained by the city, but added to the yards of residents backing the street. This will enable the city to use the easement for future expansion if needed. Stipulating that these two conditions be met, the council voted to grant the reduction of width. Receive New Zip Code Area To TAYLORSVILLE. Residences and businesses in the eastern portion of this community and Bennion will experience a change in zip code on Nov. 1. The area affected lies between and Redwood Road and from 3900 South to near 6700 South. The Zip Code will be changed from 84107 to 84123. According to Salt Lake City Postmaster Howard L. Buck, who also oversees postal operations in the entire state, the changes are necessary to keep up with growth. Clerks who sort mail must memorize all addresses in a ZIP Code area, he explained. When the number of addresses becomes too large, memorization becomes difficult and efficiency is hampered, he added. In addition to Taylorsville and Bennion, Murray, Ogden, Orem and Holladay will also receive new zip codes.

In truth, we went to the Blue Grass State to attend a convention - that of National Newspaper Assn. It was no ordinary convention, for one of the key performers was our Bette. partner-in-publishin- g, She was accorded the highest honor the aforesaid newspaper group pays a woman member -the McKinney Award. And though we confess to being somewhat prejudiced - she richly deserved it. It's no small accolade to be the only woman journalist in the nation selected to receive such an award in a given year. She was restrained and quietly humble. We did all the nip-upThough that was the most important thing that happened during our sojourn in Looavil, it s. was by no means the only experience we had. We learned first-han- d about breeding thoroughbred race horses. And Kentucky folks told us we were mighty lucky to be admitted to one of the top such farms. It wasnt an individual visit, we hasten to add. An entire group of newspaper folks were permitted to see Spendthrift Farms, which is the retirement home of Seattle Slew and Affirmed, the 77 and 78 Kentucky Derby winners, respectively. Both won the Triple Crown by following the Derby with victories in the Preakness and Belmont races. Both were the leading money-winner- s of their top years. And in career earnings, Affirmed is second on the e list. If youre a dumbbell about racing, as we are, you probably think a couple million dollars earned by winning races Is the maximum feat for a horse. But that just aint so. The real money all-tim- comes from breeding fees. Though retired, Seattle Slew has a value of no less than $60 millions based on a stud-fe- e of $350,000. many days. We must confess to being rather intrigued with a former Miss America who was on our program, too. Shes Phyllis Ann George, a Texas girl who captured the title in 1971. You addicts probably recognize her as that pretty blonde who appears on TVs NFL Today show. To Kentuckians, shes the wife of Gov. John Y. Brown Jr. And she made no effort to conceal her advanced pregnancy which, she said, will remove her from the TV cameras within the next couple of weeks. Gov. Brown, who amassed a fortune by seeing the possibilities of Col. Sanders, the white-suite- d gent who sold fried chicken, probably believes he won election on his political strengths. pro-footb- Affirmed, which was a great horse but evidently doesnt have the of Slew, is worth about $200,000 for the same service. And in a section of 16 stalls, each housing a thoroughbred which earned $400,000 or more in its racing career, Spendthrift Farms has an estimated value of $150 millions. Little wonder someone on the staff checks each and every horse twice-hourl- y every day - and to prove punches a time-cloc- k that eyeball survey took place. This is hardly the place to describe the breeding process - but its done with clockwork precision and Spendthrifts stock of yesteryears racing champs brings in a cool million dollars ty After hearing Phyllis Ann, be our conjecture that more votes were cast for her charming and vibrant itd Everyone didnt share our opi- nion, however. Bette thought the America was a trifle tire- some. From the Governors new offspring to a religious colony where no children were ever born was our next step. We visited Pleasant Hill, where members of the Shakers maintained a working village from 1805 until 1910. Men and women pledged themselves to a celibate life; like brothers and sisters. Only converts - sometimes entire families with children and adoption of orphans perpetuated the ranks over that century of time. What this sect of dissident Quakers left behind is a fascinating village well worth your exploration should you visit that area. And we did, indeed, check out of our hotel simultaneously with A1 Hirt and Stan Musial. We visited for a few minutes with both of em - and found it a fitting conclusion to our Kentucky - |
