Show UTAH PRESS ASSOCIATION 467 EAST 30 0 Theatres , Office Building Planned By Developer SOUTH ALT LAKE CITY UTAH - 84111 Commission Approves Commercial Center WEST VALLEY. The City Planning Commission approved a zone change here Thursday which could be the first step toward construction of a commercial center near 4100 W. 4500 South. Plaza 4700 Associates received the zone change on the eight-acr- e parcel, from 8 (single family dwellings on 8,000 square foot lots) to 2 (general commercial uses). The company plans to construct an office building, theaters and at least one other commercial structure on the site. During a commission meeting late last year, a principal in the Plaza 4700 group, Armand Johansen, expressed a desire to construct an apartment development on the site but withdrew a zone change application after the plan drew criticism from area residents. The zone change will now go before the City Council for final approval.

The City Council will choose one of several road improvement projects needed by this city which will be submitted to state authorities for funding consideration. The council will meet at 6 p.m. at City Hall. City Manager John Newman told the council at Tuesday nights study session that several of West Valleys future projects could qualify for state TSM (Transportation Systems Management) monies, but that only one has progressed far enough for consideration. Plans have already been drawn up on that project, a proposed railroad crossing at 4750 So. 5600 West, and a traffic test has been completed. Other projects mentioned Tuesday, which are still in planning or testing stages, include installation of traffic lights at the intersections of here tonight A public hearing will be held to discuss technical changes in the citys zoning ordinance. City Attorney Paul Morris said the changes were made to correct ambiguities and correct typographical errors in the The substance isnt ordinance. changed, the form is changed," Morris said. Errors and ambiguities will be corrected in all the citys ordinances during the next few weeks, according to Morris. The corrected ordinances will be filed together in one notebook and copies distributed to all city departments. Most depart- - ments dont have easy access to the ordinances now, he said. A public hearing will be held on a proposed change in the citys public recreation ordinance which would regulate outdoor public gatherings of more than 1,500 persons. The ordinance establishes health and safety guidelines for the gatherings and adds an insurance bond requirement. A public hearing will be held on WLWs request for a $2.5 million in- - dustrial revenue bond which it hopes to use to construct a small shopping center at 3550 So. Redwood Road. WLW is a partnership formed by and Stokes Brothers to construct Stokes Brothers outlets. Warren Tate secured conditional use approval for the proposed shopping center from the City Planning Commission on Thursday. Although issued by cities, IRBs are backed only by the banks which buy them and in turn lend money to developers for low interest rates. Everybody's Happy! Six Intersections On 3500 South To Be Everybody was happy with this Green Sheet classified ad! The seller, Mrs. Ray Ransdell, 6132 Scorpio Dr., had many calls, so she was pleased. The buyer, Mrs. Ransdell said, was so impressed by the quality of the table that she insisted on paying more than the advertised price.

Modification of six intersections along 3500 South will be the subject of a public hearing here next month. The hearing, to be conducted by the Utah Department of Transportation will be held at Granger high, starting at 7:30 p.m. on March 8. Plans call for making traffic signal improvements and installation of curb and gutter at the intersections with 3200, 3600, 4000, 4400,4800 and 5600 West. Additional right of way will be necessary to carry out the proposed improvement, according to UDOT officials. Input on the matter will be accepted by UDOT until March 19. 4400 So. 5200 West, 3650 So. 3600 West and 2200 W. 3500 South. The cost of installing lights in an intersection is approximately $100,000. In other matters, the council is scheduled to award a contract for construction of a storm drain on 4800 West, north of West Point Drive. The council voted to delay the $62,462 project two weeks ago to explore the possibility of coordinating the effort with a county project planned on the same street. But after studying the matter, officials learned it could not be done. The storm drain will divert water from the site to the Utah-Sa- lt Lake canal. heres a point Three ladies, names unfortunately never obtained, were the first to reach Bettes car after the accident. the Consequently, their act of kindness was the first of a series of similarly generous ges- tures by a lot of people -- sadly, probably wont see These la- dies, recognizing Bette was in a state of even though she didnt know it herself, hurried back to their own car and returned with blankets which they carefully tucked around her legs and over her shoulders.

A subdivision ordinance passed here in November suggests houses and streets be oriented in such a way as to make the greatest use of solar power. The ordinance is the first of its kind to be adopted by a major city in Utah. The ordinance has a five-pasolar access section which recommends east-weorientation of streets and structures, establishes standards for landscaping placement and delineates a guide for locating structures on a site for optimal solar access. The section also makes a provision for a solar access agreement between neighbors, giving them the right to establish solar access easements which run with the property. The purpose of the ordinance, according to city officials, is to create a development climate which fosters energy-efficiedesign . - rt st -- fully-traine- CofC To Hear Talk On Legislative Action TAYLORSVILLE.

She recited the plant phone number and as a result, we knew of the mishap within a matter of minutes. He told us later his wife had endured a similar collision almost two years ago; had suffered severe facial injuries and the resulting legal jockeying was still going on. No matter what she was awarded, he rather pointedly said, she couldnt be reimbursed for the suffering shed subse- quently gone through. Its an American characteristic to vanish and avoid involve- after witnessing an unpleasant scene. So this man and two other people were certainly atypical when they remained until the Sheriffs deputy arrived in order to tell him, firsthand, what theyd seen. So that thered be no misunderstanding, each gave us name, address and phone number, offering to testify if needed. Bette and I mused later that we were perhaps being repaid in kind. Only two weeks earlier, while stopped at a Scottsdale, Ariz. intersection, wed been the only eye witnesses when a pedestrian was struck by an automobile. We, too, hurried to the fallen man, helped til paramedics arrived, and told police what had happened. Bette was still sitting motionless in our smashed auto when we reached the collision scene. Many people were milling about, all trying to help. ment Somehow, we knew she was hurt more than she wanted to admit. Her tolerance is high, but when she bites her lip, shes in pain. The deputy asked if she needed medical assistance and she shook We her head from registered a contrary opinion, listened to her protest and still insisted the paramedics be called. Another reason to be thankful for the kindness of people. You can shrug it off by saying, Its their job, but that doesnt completely cover the competent manner in which the medics approach first aid. Nor does it explain the tender and sympathetic way they go about their work. Theres a similar atmosphere in the emergency area at Cottonwood hospital. Bom, no doubt, of the parallel situation in which side-to-sid- e. emergency doctors and paramedics find themselves. Theyre both grappling with factors because injured people in shock usually havent demonstrated all their symptoms. Three examination hours later, Bette had decided she wanted to go home. She was feeling a good deal better, she insisted, although it was obviously a blatant lie. The g shot was evidently doing its job. When she attempted to rise from the gurney, though, she had a second thought that beat her first one all to the devil. She fell back and offered no argument when the doctor elected to hospitalize her. Rib injuries and a pelvic fracture were subsequently found and she spent a week in Cottonwoods pain-reducin- care. About the fourth day she ex- pressed concern because she was beginning to like the hospital's food. And the TLC." Its a true compliment to the chef when people who are under the weather appreciate the quality of cooking. Home now, and confined to wheelchair and walker, shes finding the continuing kindness of people a real morale-booste- r. Cards, flowers and phone calls - and shes are all spirit-lifter- s had em in abundance. It's no particular pleasure to recount the episode, but it does make us aware its a shame we have to be visited by some misfortune in order to realize how many kind people there are in this old world. Sometimes in the struggle of living - and, frequently, struggle isnt an inappropriate word -- - you become somewhat disgruntled with fellow beings. When some calamity strikes and people rally round to help, though, you see that youve been upset by the acts of a handful when what really counts is how all those other folks behave when you need them. |
